looking for financial help from their suppliers we saw this reaction you mention it the share price went down by four percent in the early trading it seems to be the case that the company asked suppliers to give them a refund of payments which were made in two thousand and sixteen in order to remain profitable and also to be able to do bigger investments in the future tesla has confirmed that a letter was sent out to suppliers but said that only they were asking for a rather small amount of money experts are calling all of this and saying and are frustrated the company has been in has not reached their winning zone since two thousand and three and the biggest problem child for the company remains their current model three the production of this car has been more expensive than origin and plant down here in frankfurt thank you europe's largest budget carrier ryanair has reported a steep fall in earnings in the first quarter net profit dropped twenty percent

china's role as one of the continent's biggest investors she and his wife peng liyuan who welcomed by round us president paul kagame e and his wife visit comes ahead of an emerging economies summit china is heavily involved in building infrastructure in africa including a new railway line in kenya but that project has many critics these animals room freely barely seven kilometers outside kenya's capital nairobi but their unrestricted lifestyle is endangered kenya has contracted the china roads and bridges corp to extend and modernize its main railway line. the first leg connecting mombasa and nairobi was completed in twenty seventeen the second leg will link kenya to neighboring uganda it cuts right through the national park. all these train tracks and noise going to make the park lose the animals and maybe reduce it to his zoos this is

a natural park where animals can walk in and out they will no longer be able to do that conservationists have been fighting the railway since twenty sixteen to no avail construction of the second leg began in march despite a court order halting the project and elevated track will run across six kilometers of the park perched on pillars between eight and forty meters tall officials insist the animals will still be able to roam freely that area was supposed to be for animals a corridor for wildlife but also as development activities and i country we cannot really shy away from investing in our development the rift valley railway is kenya's biggest infrastructure project since independence and the government hopes the faster transport link will give the economy a boost chinese railways roads and downs are rapidly changing landscapes across africa aimed at accelerating the continent's industrialization they also cement

beijing's influence. the capital of lithuania could well become a role model when it comes to the mobility of the future in value as many people use the mobility app trophy that clever piece of software could signal the end of city tel box and choking small combines public transport by into one easy to usenet. getting us to let us has an urgent business appointment and needs to get there fast traffic shows him the fastest connections the app uses g.p.s. to look ate his position and list the available transport options do a task and also pay bicycle hires with chafee as well as the car sharing altos he can open with a touch of his smartphone the twenty five year old uses chaffee every day. yeah i think that if you. just. longest younger generation trophy is the brainchild of a local startup it began as

a hobby for the company's founders after yogi's press of conus graduated from america's renowned massachusetts institute of technology he took part in global computer programming competitions he used those algorithms to build the initial website. so i didn't think that much of the impact so i was always focused on in our technology and solving interesting problems so that's why it's great that we have. kind of cover this for different aspect martina's good and of each year looks after traffics commercial side he sourced investment and began hiring its workforce is now grown to forty five traffic got underway as google maps was launched now one of their biggest customers programming a real time map with so many different transportation alternatives is

a major challenge. the biggest i would say challenge is to properly process as the g.p.s. signals and it's very nice to show that on the map power actually recall is morning so and was an e.t.a. expected time of arrival to the bus stops old that takes quite a lot of efforts and we've been doing this for twelve years and we still keep updating and i'm dating can improving delegate times who does that traffic is used in over thirty cities worldwide now even in megacities like indonesia capital jakarta it's free for users. founders are also in talks with german city administrations though things are moving only slowly that the transport companies are reluctant to part with data on real time operations and centralized ticket sales the mayor of vilnius had no such qualms the policy do implement here even this is the most radical open to the policy it's open data and just being very open

to the future being faster than others and being more open to the others in terms of allowing new sometimes the surface. of the market so i think it's very important not to follow the future but to make friends with. traffic insists it exploits no private data and sticks to the letter and spirit of e.u. data protection laws. and offer some rather alarming news which actually could develop into a national emergency for germany the country's breweries running out of bottles. one brewery has even asked its customers for help it wants them to return their empty beer bottles before they go on vacation. although that is possible in bottles as between eight and fifteen cents each not enough customers are returning their empty recyclables many breweries have been caught out short on bottles germans drank more beer than expected this summer first there was the soccer world cup and

then the unusually hot temperatures it's been months of warm weather in germany and breeze have been selling more beer than ever before the problem is not a sort of beer just not enough bottles to put it experts estimate that there are two billion beer bottles in circulation throughout germany but beer drinkers might be wishing for a few million more. well i hope that turns out well and that's it for me and the business team here in berlin hello humphry well have an update for you here and at the next. before you go here's a real time check on the global markets thank you very much for watching v.w. business.
