conglomerates in korea and it's no wonder that they're angry because a lot of a lot of these senior officials including these own father in the past who has been pardoned for similar crimes in the past only to have his sentence reduced just four months after the ruling how will this all affect ex-president pox bribery trial. well you know it's funny to think how it all started with the third great horse race on the serious note the judge didn't see that he found no power of business collusion and clearly in this case when gifted. a compass with the garbage horse in the past the choice sunil now pouts own case is ongoing with a verdict to be out later this year and she's probably going to get a life sentence with this scandal weighing very heavily on that very well from the

political side of. corporate dimension with lee released his samsung got a leadership battle on its hands. we it's not clear how leaves going to return in whether he's going to retain his name some similar capacity at samsung scuse me whatever it it whatever the case comment is all saying that. it will be a chance this scandal will be a chance finally fourteen abel's to reform its company governance and that being said samsung has been left in good hands while the was a we it rose is shares rose forty one percent in twenty seven thousand during the trial itself and interesting stuff there and interesting analysis from asia correspondent based in singapore a reality check on global equity markets after such a long boom run asian shares sliding on monday after the us stock market enjoyed

its worst session in two years on friday japan's benchmark nikkei index tumbled over two and a half percent today its biggest single day lost since donald trump selection in november twenty sixth in the u.s. jobs market provided the catalyst for the sell off it grew above expectations with wages surging at their fastest pace in more than eighty years to counter inflation and best to suspect the federal reserve will need to raise its key interest rate faster than expected european stock markets are also plunging let's pull in to cope our financial correspondent in frankfurt so is this a case of out with fed chief janet yellen and off with the interest rate. well let's see during the last meeting just a few days before she was leaving office she didn't want higher interest rates but we know mr powell will be sworn into office today as the new hat off the fact he

has been working there already for quite some time in the board of governors and he was mostly in favor of janet yellen decisions and we know that she was also in favor of higher interest rates maybe three or four times this year so yeah we might see those interest drop interest rate hikes happening this year. it was a real slump we saw her on markets in new york on friday. the market sliding in asia and in europe as well but not to the extent we saw in new york why is that. yeah a major correction you mention it i mean the biggest correction that we have seen in two years and actually because of surprising reasons because on friday we got those unemployment reports from the united states very good numbers also the report that wages were going up so you might be thinking well that's good news it is on the one hand but on the other hand this means in many cases higher interest rates higher interest rates for the market means that there is less liquidity in the

market that shareholders are or investors might think about other ways to invest their money for example in born's or even maybe putting with higher interest rates some money aside on their bank account that's why they are not so in favor of those high interest rates but here's the correction was not as big as we have seen them in the united states but also the v. dax index here at the blue chip index is also down with the possibility that we might not even see fourteen thousand points that we are might even see a correction maybe to a level of twelve thousand points here at the blue chip index stocks because technical correction of course is a ten would be a ten percent fall we haven't seen that yet. could we see that later today when wall street opens. well we expect that the shares at on wall street will actually recover a little but still be in the minus we're already seeing bond yields shares dropping

already by three hundred points this morning so poorly and not a very exciting day on wall street as well when you call things for the look ahead so you see. org area has taken up the e.u.'s rotating presidency and i want you thinking so what well the balkan nation isn't a role model economy it's dogged by organized crime and corruption and still has strong links to the russian russian oligarchy. went there for. the city of vanna is bulgaria's largest port on the black sea. fleet pipeline sections were made in the german city of ours and and have been delivered to a firm owned by the russian energy giant gazprom the port city is awash with rumors of what goes promise doing here. we sometimes make jokes here in bulgaria but the main thing that will be flowing

through the south stream pipeline is russian corruption. local journalists past spots of sees him self as a watchdog for good government and against political cronyism for years he's been keeping a close eye on gas problems activities in the city. many of these pipeline sections have already been frighted out on special ships for about a year now work has been progressing to lay the turk stream pipeline across the black sea nine hundred kilometers in total. but van is more than just a logistical hub the city attracts more russian tourists and business people than any other place in the e.u. russia has many friends here and still maintains full consular services environ are . not with people what used to. could be many consulates and embassies reduced their staff or close their doors all together after the fall of communism and nine hundred ninety nine from it but the russian consulate is still here.

real estate agents know how attractive the russians find vanna russians own some eighty thousand homes here. real estate agent. says eight out of ten of her customers come from russia today she's showing an apartment to a couple of pensioners from st petersburg. a. very nice look at the view of the hill and the sea. the russians bring a lot of money into the region but with the gas business comes corruption. also sits on the vine a city council he's showing journalist software gazprom has built a road straight through his vineyard illegally and without informing the relevant authorities agree or off says. this road is an example of the corruption that gazprom is bringing.

up salut lee this is part of the wave of corruption this road is just a small part of it so it's not directly linked with vonage but it's been built in the church three avan a municipality. suspect that bribed public servants somewhere in the central government allowed this road to go ahead. a seaside resort owned by musk of ivana has become a russian beachhead on the shores of europe the region may be profiting from russian money now but critics are warning of the future political costs. rise in business with you.
