than ever before and choked up its highest profit close to eleven billion euros the road ahead doesn't look as good stagnating profits with the financial burden of developing new technologies and it's got another scandal on its hands those tests on monkeys and humans. the boss of dai miller. had some reason to smile twenty seventeen was the best year in the company's history with sales of three point three million cars but this week's revelations of exhaust gas testing on humans and monkeys cast a shadow over the shining figures from the start of the press conference tried to clear the air so much for such testing goes against our values a time where we're going to find out exactly how this happened. based automaker together with other german car makers finance the now disbanded e.u. g.t. research institute. tried to move on from the damaging allegations and refocus

attention on the company's future he told shareholders profits would stagnate while dian learn vested mess of lead in new technologies and yet are scoffed at him can shift and will be using the earning power of our core business to powerfully gauge with the future challenges our industries are facing we called this case that stands for connectivity autonomous driving sharing and. so this is about nothing less than reinventing the concept of individual mobility of individual in mobility . on the frankfurt stock exchange the high costs of future proofing diamond didn't go down well the car makers shares were among the biggest losers on the blue chip dax index on thursday nevertheless the company announced it would be paying the highest investor dividends in its history and was one hundred thirty thousand german employees to receive bonuses of five thousand seven hundred euros in april

that's also the highest in the company's history. let's go to daniel copper talk about all those records he's standing by in frankfurt daniel tell us first of all about the share price reaction it's is it doing anything amazing today. you know it's actually one of the biggest losers here today at the blue chip index that's in general the blue chip in exactly was quite struggling today we are down here at the moment with more than one point five percent it seems that investors at the end were not that's thrilled about the diamond numbers what about that profit that's pretty amazing what was it eleven eleven billion yeah eleven billion exactly yeah i mean this number of course looks good and when you also talk about sales sales quantity of profit all that pretty much you couldn't even be better but stock exchange always means looking in the future as well and i'm no was also announcing that they're expecting higher costs now for two thousand and eighteen that's was

making investors a little bit of war is that because of that their profit margin could down that their share price could be falling that their dividend at the end could be less so yeah that's why we're seeing this rather negative reaction today here at the stock exchange ok well let me ask you in a second about this next story also involves die in the tens of thousands of germany's industrial workers have begun a second day of twenty four hour strikes of a pay and working hours the sectors union is threatening full scale industrial action if employers don't give it what it wants demands being a six percent wage increase as well as a twenty eight hour week for workers taking care of a child or a relative and it's that demand companies have rejected they say they'll only consider it if they can increase hours if necessary the union has been picketing companies like ford and dime since wednesday. and what sort of effect of those

strikes have it. well actually we are seeing similar pictures all around germany today also saw them here in frankfurt standing and demonstrating gather one more money of their are saying that companies such as ford for example in cologne or. that they should be giving their employees more money now pretty much the decision how all of this is going to go is at a record we are actually waiting for this final verdict and then we know if those strikes are really going to continue also in the next days ok keep us up to date daniel corp in frankfurt there. if you've been getting through or under the great firewall of china using virtual tunnels known as b p n's watch out experts say the government has launched a crackdown on companies and individuals beijing wants them to use state approved software to access the internet to keep it terrible things. if you're in china

trying to skype chat with colleagues in the u.s. think again what about surfing google or using twitter and facebook sorry game the chinese government is banning all virtual private networks or v.p. ends these services help users to bypass online censorship that businesses also use them to move their data securely in an effort to comfy as the government has assured foreign companies doing business there that they can still access the internet using state approved portals. but many firms a nervous about exposing their data to the chinese. this won't impact safety that's because governments telecom companies just provide a channel a network they can't see any content on the network related to your company for businesses that follow chinese laws and regulations this is guaranteed constitution stipulates that citizens have the freedom to communicate and that corporate

communications will be protected with. previously however comes at a cost many small and mid-sized companies are troubled by the usage fees for the state own software well over one thousand euros a month experts say that's more than smaller businesses will be able to shoulder in the long run. ok we've managed to get my bearing on a long line beijing. correspondent there mathias tell us these businesses and individuals suddenly cut off from the world. well until today we haven't seen it yet today everything seem to be working fine today was one of the dates where everybody expected the b.p.'s to be shut off after a document was leaked last year that mentioned february we haven't seen it but it's not off the table the government is pushing through this well if it's not happening

immediately tell me how serious beijing is about this. well they have been emphasizing that they want to shut down foreign v p m's i'm licensed v p n's. they are keeping emphasizing it everybody expects something to happen what exactly though and when nobody knows but that's also part of the tactic there is no clear date there is no clear announcement the only thing is that they have been emphasizing that. companies foreign companies and individuals would have to use registered license v p n's that run via chinese service mathias tell us a little bit more about why china is actually doing this it seems to be going to quite some lengths to gain control i guess over what's being communicated and what's being used and created on the net or by the web.

yes i mean internet censorship has been a top priority for the government for a long time and b p n's used to be one of the most reliable ways to get around this censorship so if they are now shutting down the v p n's it may basically means they want to enforce censorship another thing is that v p n's is also also a means to securely communicate with the outside world for companies for foreign companies that have their headquarters outside of china and what is relatively new is that these businesses are told that they will also be subject to these regulations and the chinese government seems to be caring less about what their security need is now that of officials there realize that censorship is a great way of stifling creativity and creativity is a great thing too. to use to get your nation to transition into

a high tech economy at a time that china is doing its best to keep growth up nice and high which is one reason why it wants to go high tech what why scare away foreign investors. well the internet is something the chinese government is very has a very special view about they want to have their own cyber space. as some people call it the chinese internet cyberspace that is individual or foreign influences they have been building. a big internet companies comparable to google and amazon or facebook and they have been for years keeping these big american companies out of the business so then they can create their own internet that is easier controllable that is less reliable on foreign influences this is

a has been a policy for for a long time and cutting off the v.p.n. in that regard is not a change in policy china believes that it can build their internet without relying on foreign investments too much but he is spending a forest in beijing thank you. and thanks for watching nice to business with you see you again very soon here on the docket a much. more
