the first year in office has brought out a lot of controversy the economy is forming we'll ask our correspondent on wall street what the u.s. president's. tourism industry booming in cuba the door trumps moves through tight restrictions on american speaking their way to the i'm. also coming up tough times ahead for rickshaw drivers and dot com authorities they are cracking down on the popular means of transportation. for business on the job you all come to the program i'm funny for char saturday marks the one year anniversary of donald trump's presidency since taking office he has repeatedly pointed out his achievements in strengthening the u.s. economy now the economy is growing stronger more americans working and the unemployment rate at a low four point one percent the jobless numbers decreased steadily on their trauma or barak obama last year the u.s.

economy grew by two point two percent but it was even higher in four out of obama's eight years in office many believe biggest legislative achievement is tax reform but critics say it mostly benefits the rich and the business world. or at least bringing in school to all correspondent and wall street has yes so it seems that your u.s. economy is doing great to joe jones is breaking one record high after another so is trump a better president than he gets credit for after all. the u.s. economy is stalling well but most changes most economic changes that the new administration achieve came towards the end of twenty seventeen so it's really far too early to tell how those will work out and we shouldn't forget it was the tax reform that will leave a huge debt burden for the u.s. economy but if we look at wall street investors are happy but what happens on wall

street is not what did happen what investors believe will happen and obviously wall street believes that there is more to come just within the first year of the presidency of donald trump the stock market here in the u.s. has gained almost seven trillion dollars and well you know not everything is rosy because if the current year's budget battle is not resolved it's not resolved the question is could a government shutdown have an impact on the u.s. economy. so far ahead about eighteen shutdowns of the past of forty years that mostly the economic impact has been limited to for sure a lot depends for how long of possible the shuttle would drag on and we also should . remember that this is not a complete but a partial shutdown but yes a lot will depend how long this shutdown. drag on and if we look at the stock market overall the last big shutdown happened in twenty thirty in dragging on for

about two weeks and during that time span and wall street actually even gained three percent so at least the investors do not seem to be too varied about this possible shutdown yet let's go there thank you so much for your analysis. coca-cola is going green very slowly by twenty eight thirty eight a soda giant wants to recycle a used fossil or can for everyone itself the company behind over five hundred brands of soda juices and water is committing making all of its packaging recyclable worldwide this would be a step to decreasing the amount of plastic waste littering the planet and its oceans coca-cola admits that it's part of an environmental problem. and one year into dollar trounce presidency a lot has changed not only in the united states as we take stock of transfers here

in the white house we take you to cuba we had tourism from america aboard after barack obama nuisance travel restrictions but don't trump has tightened again what that means here is more it's. the man overlooking revolution square is a legend to give our the man on the harley is his son and this to give our eyes the owner of love put arrows on tours and he's showing tourists across of ana is guests love it really said going on to is chase son speaks of the greatness of heart and humility of the families the you military of his father and the you military of the sun and this to give our us business took off after then president barack obama lifted a longstanding travel ban for americans. the first years were very good there was an opening and an increase in tourism and that helped us but today relations are more closed the world has become more complicated

conditions are worse and tourism has dropped a bit. in fact tourism has not dropped twenty seventeen was a record year for cuba with four point seven million visitors spending more than three billion dollars there the number of american travelers also rose to six hundred nineteen thousand more than six times the free obama level but under new regulations put in place by the trump administration all u.s. travel to cuba has to take place an organized tour groups that's bad news for many private restaurants bed and breakfasts and other providers at nostalgic car cuba tourists can rent the classic cars have ana is famous for the owner has an idea about why u.s. tourists are facing tighter rules again. but when americans see the reality of cuban life when they hear the testimonies of cuban businessmen from the private

sector they realize that everything they have been told our lives. tighter regulations are not american tourists still flock to cuba and are enjoying the experience. we were a little bit afraid but we talked to the owner of the company he said no problems no problems and we've been here for days and it's been very very nice surely american tourists will continue to discover cuba but some small businesses won't benefit from their visit until after the trump years. the eighty third burly international week has opens to the public the focus this time is on plan protection and animal welfare timing couldn't be versed in african swine fever spreading through wild boar populations in europe. there's a lot to see and even more to taste burley. green week brings together

more than sixteen hundred exhibitors from sixty six countries one big topic the recent spread of african swine fever across large parts of eastern europe the disease is no threat for humans but farmers are worried if their stock gets infected all animals would have to be killed or what i heard of the genuine worry that this is will reach germany i would say to farmers or in germany that we are doing everything we possibly can but we have to be vigilant at all times and we have to implement the actions that we have promised to do. the last for ten days galleria is this year's official partner country four hundred thousand visitors are expected. following three years of very low rainfall k.-tel faces a huge challenge now to south african cities authorities are tightening restrictions on household water usage to fight an ongoing drought it getting in february residents will be limited to fifty to say that's almost half the currency

. water collection is now a common sight in cape town families here have been feeling the strain of the water rationing measures because. we can't use the tap in the way the water from the tap because there's no voice in it so we have to connect to sydney and have family collect water three to four times a week after three years of too little rainfall cape town faces a severe water shortage the water reservoirs of south africa's second largest city are only a third of their capacity and families like sydney's are being forced to go to extreme lengths to save water both in the water can be used for the washing machine and from the washing machine. and from game we use for things to be for the system for the toilet. my mom was always she didn't like to waste anything so she was always don't waste. so she decided no it was and she had

about the job out no we're going to save. the family uses the collected water in different ways including cooking drinking and dishwashing and other household chores that way they consume little water from the time we have a family of four including my parents would be six in total. so that's about sixteen thousand metres we should average a month but we brought down to about four thousand every month the water shortage has hit hard and conserving water like sydney's family isn't something everyone can afford to do and the capital of. the most popular means of transportation is a rickshaw and the city reportedly has the highest number of them in the world but the government is tracking down. this is the easiest way to get around the bangladeshi capital dhaka. are readily

available everywhere but we feel they are useful because they can move around our roles. he said he did what he did know and they are less of an environmental burden than cars for several hundred thousand locals the vehicles represent more than just a means of transportation they are a source of income. i came from a village he fell i've been working in this area for six or seven years i make about nine dollars that's what my family lives on. what i would have on them. but his days in the job could be numbered critics say rickshaws are slowing down traffic in dhaka so the police are cracking down on them. illegally plying through the v.i.p. rolls and creating traffic jams now will send these to be trashed less than ten percent are legally registered now hundreds of thousands of drivers face the

prospect of losing their livelihood. and that's your business. thank you so much for watching.

how to cover more than just one reality. where i come from we have a transatlantic way of looking at things that's because my father is from germany my mother is from the united states of america and so i realized fairly early that it makes sense to explain different realities. and now here at the heart of the european union in brussels we have twenty eight different realities and so i think people are really looking for any journalist they can trust for them to make sense of. this is not often i work at the w. . he tells us stirring stories. it makes us laugh. cry a little tremble and smile. at you click images
