boost signed by. people who put big dreams on the big screen. play. movie magazine on the w. financial frenzy on south african markets as traders anticipate an economic recovery younger and new president investors believe an era of corruption has come to an end. stock is flying high the european plane maker looks past its delivery problems to a much stronger outlook and the power of pork china turns to factory style farms to boost pig production to squealing heights. let's do business

investors in south africa are over the moon that a pro-business reform. has replaced jacob zuma as president benchmark south african stocks climbing over three and a half percent chalking up their biggest daily gain in nearly three years the rand also climbing to its highest in three years against the dollar broader african shares also up. it could all mark the beginning of an economic turnaround analysts used to refer to south africa as the gateway to the continent. south africa's economy took a beating under x. president jacob zuma it's full into recession the country's bonds are rated junk and its political elite is no longer trusted and due to political mismanagement its second largest city cape town is running actual water fast growth has declined steadily for more than three percent seven years ago to less than two percent in recent years one of the weakest rates of all of sub-saharan africa. country's

hope is resting on the newly elected president still ram opposes the former union leader who's become a wealthy businessman since he was appointed head of the ruling african national congress in december the country's currency has surged by ten percent against the dollar. you. who are. that's a good sign that investors are banking on a change in fact africa's fortune. annual profits and european aviation giant air bus have jumped by about two billion euros but there are clouds on the horizon it recently announced a management shakeup after corruption allegations and there's trouble with some models starting with the ailing a three eighty super jumbo it was almost cancelled due to lack of demand but was given a lifeline last month when you buy based carrier emirates ordered thirty six of them in there is the a four hundred military transport which was commissioned in two thousand and three it's been plagued by technical problems still demand for the

a three twenty series remains robust the narrow body jets are of special interest to asian airlines and airbus has just tested a long range transatlantic version well let's rob you know we balance our financial correspondent in frankfurt to talk about this all the us is putting its own spin on today's results trying to look past its plane problems signaling strong future growth how's that flying with analysts. it's flying and the share is flying with it it's going up by about ten percent since huge demand there's a lot of turnover and as well investors are ready to buy that story that airbus has problems or perhaps over in many of the important cases you mentioned the a three eighty well there's new orders without the military jet the transporter also seems to be heading for a little bit better times in terms of the balance sheet as well and airbus is aiming whether this comes true or not is another story but it's aiming to increase

its record deliveries twenty seventeen saw never before seven hundred nineteen plea planes being delivered to airlines and this year it's gunning for eight hundred so investors are of course seriously hoping that that gets mirrored in the profit picture as well and ok to another corporate giant despite so much or demise ation and streamlining the swiss food giant nestlé is disappointing turning into a constant disappointment i think you could say. that's right and the shareholders are not too happy that shares going down by about two point three two point five percent something like that and this on a day when most other shares are going up not like airbus but most shares are going up and that's liz a constant disappointment totally correct since two thousand and fifteen profits have been going down and the profit went for twenty seventeen by a whopping fifteen percent and it's not just about cost cutting you can cost cut

and you can digitalize but you also have to be able to sell and for example in the north american market sweets and ice cream didn't sell and marchin either the relatively new c.e.o. still he wants to restructure the company to expand in areas like for example pet food or baby food and he wants to expand health products something you know is about coming from a german health group physios to nestle. on the ups and downs of some of those european giants thank you for your analysis. hyperinflation has hit venezuela cash is increasingly short supply bad news for everyone bar a few tech companies that have been able to carve out a nation that the crisis. this is the kind of scene you can expect if you're hoping to access cash in venezuela soaring prices have led to shortages in paper money and long lines at a.t.m. . but the country's hyper inflation has produced some surprise winners in the

business world small tech companies offering shoppers mobile payments. one of them is video its founders has been as well as economic crisis has sped up what was already a burgeoning trend. we saw in twenty ten and twenty eleven that electronic payments were going to be a trend globally. what's happened is that it's accelerated in some countries for various reasons so perhaps our economy will become cashless before that of denmark which put more effort into a minute in america. last year the company saw a thirty fold increase in customers those availing of the service say it's made shopping easier. to make that point that. i think that for me personally it's very practical to pay with people because it enables transactions

on the only thing missing is more information about how to manage the hour and it's technology. in moscow was that effective that because you get the money going. out to developers in venezuela usually don't need too much starting capital salary expectations among coders are no electricity and data costs next to nothing still the boom in mobile payment is a result of the bust in nearly every other sector of the economy. these are not good days to be a pig in china the burgeoning middle class wants more meat especially pok the number of pigs increasing from four hundred to seven hundred billion in just a decade the solution factory style far. it's not exactly hog heaven but this is how a pig's life looks in china a small cage in a metal stall with computer controlled feeding using highly enriched soybeans by

the end of the year ten thousand saudis will live here and their piglets will be turned into twenty thousand tonnes of pork it's just one of several mass farms in southwestern china being built this year. large scale farming means profits can only go up and margins will be bigger because we have reduced costs and resources. not only the stalls are designed for efficiency so is the breeding in the laboratory next door technicians are working on imported semen to boost productivity for two years now china has spent ten billion dollars on expanding its mass production based on the american model you know it was hot pigs have always been reared on what we call a pig farm but in fact a modern pig farm is more like a pig factory factory until now it's been the traditional farms that have predominated more than half of meat comes from small farms like this one farmer she hung way has thirty eight south he's already switched to soya feed to make them

grow faster but that's not enough he has neither the money nor the land to dispose of pig manure in an environmentally friendly manner and that's why the government is closing down thousands of small farms like his. boat who are cross spec'd for small farmers it's tough to say your house will carry on for another two to three or three to four years and then decide to quit myself i just don't know if. it's also a change for chinese consumers they're often skeptical about mass farming but i do take the animals wellbeing into consideration but we have no way of knowing how the pigs are raised most of china's pork now comes from mass production and that's brought stable prices but the meat cannot show how the pig lived. well some tourists avoid the united states at the moment the chinese

a turning up in even bigger numbers and the tourism industry is rolling out the red carpet especially in the run up to the lunar new year. europeans may have their issues with los angeles but up market visitors from china are increasingly feeling right at home here in the run up to the chinese new year the local tourism industry is leaving no dumpling unturned in a pitch to attract free spending chinese traveling the world on their holiday break chinese new year is a big event it's a big stage in the calendar flora fraught troublous at the lux we look so you off all the facilities that they may want to enjoy that would include things like lucky envelopes with two dollar bills new year macaroons with t.n. dim sum special seasonal gifts and chinese american newspapers. not you mr tour companies have hired chinese hawkers to lure visitors into busses

to. me yeah we're running numerous specials on the chinese market really very excited about that so we're very active because individuals into los angeles from the market. tourism to los angeles has been rising fast for the last seven years the city has a larger share of foreign visitors than the country as a whole and the biggest gains are coming from china. nice doing business with a. good .
