a signal from drag on the future of the interest rates and the asset purchase program that's also worth noting that the e.c.b. managed to strike a compromise here they had to announce a plan today or at least soon if they're supposed to wind up asset purchases by december as per the market expectation on the other hand the risks to the eurozone economy like say the italian banks and the threat of a global of a global trade war still exist and the e.c.b. has managed to close about divergence by by some clever wording and said that's it until tapering off the asset purchase program by september so that leaves the door open leaves both dogs and hawks have the and in contrast to stocks we could see that the euro actually sunk against the dollar indicating that this cautious note has been noted by investors to. the preferred stock exchange thank you very much the various reactions. germany is association of women entrepreneurs also called the v.d.u.

has been supporting female bosses and women in the business world for more than sixty years the group promotes female entrepreneurship and lobbies for better conditions for business women at the moment the v.d.u. represents more than one thousand eight hundred mainly medium sized firms that are led by women in areas such as manufacturing and crafts trade and the service sector together with their companies these women generate eighty five billion euros in sales and employ about five hundred thousand people in the u.s. o.c. asian members are in hamburg for their annual get together on the agenda expanding international opportunities and strengthening networks to raise the profile of female lead businesses. and our correspondent is at the conference in hamburg covering it for us tio hi it's really nice to see you know let's start with the topic of the conference on the focus because of course it's a very complex problem the gap between male and female entrepreneurs and how it can

be close i'm sure you've heard many ideas what is the conference focusing on. yes as you said the problems are many fold but what they're actually focusing on right now is supply a diversity that actually just means getting big buyers to buy at female owned businesses so for example if you are a hotel chain or a restaurant chain that means buying more from female and wineries or she male and bakeries the problem is that women are very on to represented in this field and that's why it's important to push and empower and get bigger by is to buy at smaller women and businesses that's a very good idea as it sounds to just empower the business is that by women but it's probably easier said than done how widely spread is this concept of supply chain diversity. well it depends the way you look at the. in the world in the u.s. it's quite widespread actually the entire concept is quite far developed big multinational

companies big names are participating in it and it's also a big deal for this year's are but in germany not so much usually here the big buyers concentrate on the prices and not really does the diversity of their suppliers so that's why they're doing this and they're putting the spotlight on the topic here in germany now let's talk about concrete measures we know that they want to put businesses led by women forefront but how have you heard any concrete ideas on how to achieve this. yes there is one partner also of the association here which is called we connect international and there are huge platform and networking platform and they basically connect local business owners all around the world actually with global multinational companies big names such as i.b.m. apple killed and so if there's a small business for example in mexico that would like to supply bigger

multinationals they provide that connection so there's a very concrete platform there and they have been active all around the world. thank you very much the answer from hamburg yes our women business russian news agency tass expects one and a half million fans will visit the world cup which is starting pretty much right now spending a total of two billion dollars during their state the tournament is being hosted by eleven cities across russia but for thousands of fans travel and sleep there is expected to come at a pretty. world cup fans are already adding a party atmosphere to the streets of russian host cities. and. for many it's the trip of a lifetime and they fork out enormous sums of money just to be here but for some costs are likely to blow out the russian government regulates hotel prices but that doesn't mean they have to let their rooms go cheap. was this one using its
