at the g twenty summit in argentina the eighth year of life to nigeria has been toying with us some time it wants global rules to stop taxing digital giants more fairly but the u.s. isn't a fan. or succumbing up chinese president xi jinping is in africa to strengthen economic ties with the continent an obscure lucrative investment deal. plus a collection of disney theme park memorabilia is being auctioned next month in california at all costs a lot more than takes it out to take it. this is your business update glad you could join me it has the makings of a new transatlantic dispute european finance ministers and central bankers have called for global rules to tax the digital economy putting them at all odds with

u.s. counterparts the idea was floated as a meeting of the g twenty in the argentinian capital when his ideas on sunday and it's not likely to go down well with us tech giants. it's an idea the e.u. started toying with earlier this year digital companies should pay their fair share of taxes during last weekend's g twenty meeting e.u. finance leaders made sure the proposal was on the docket. like every other company tech giants like google are acquired to pay taxes on their profits however many used creative accounting twelve voigt paying their full share that's why the e.u. wants to start taxing the revenues instead of the profits that large digital companies earn in european countries. the new measure would force digital companies with significant presence in europe to pay a three percent tax on the e.u. revenues brussels hopes the tax will raise five billion euros a year. tech giants already pay disproportionately low taxes and the money

they earn isn't accounted for in president trump's favorite obsession the u.s. trade deficit he claims the e.u. has a one hundred fifty one billion dollar trade surplus with the united states but its calculations only look at the exchange of goods taking into account all monetary flows including services and revenues of multinational corporations the e.u. chalks up a deficit of fourteen billion dollars although e.u. officials say the digital tax would create more fairness their u.s. counterparts have already signaled that they would interpret it as an attack on america. well let's bring in a financial correspondent yens court in new york for more on this now against what's the sense that do americans feel like europe is stepping on their toes when it comes to this proposal. i would so saw yes and that has not

just started with u.s. president donald from but also of the obama administration actually complain that the regulatory correct down against them silicon valley is so politically weighted what i'm also hearing here quite often is said well ok we live in a digital word world so how do you take that but when it comes to the big digital companies there aren't that many global european players so when we talk about texas and those corporations we mostly talk about us american corporations that's at least the sense that i see over here in the u.s. and on wall street and our u.s. tech companies paying their fair share in the u.s. . well u.s. tech companies are notorious for not paying too many texas even before u.s. president donald trump started his texas reform earlier this year

a lot of the u.s. tech companies paid far less corporate texas than the overall demanded thirty five percent quite often they would pay less than twenty percent one of the main reasons for that is also when it comes to intellectually property rights a lot of the tech companies actually list of goals. ride somewhere in cheap takes countries and therefore they can avoid higher takes this that they were they were also supposed to pay here in the united states still do american tech companies paid taxes here in the u.s. sure they do but quite often they pay far less taxes than we've seen it in a lot of other areas by the way the same especially when it comes to those intellectual property rights it's true for the pharmaceutical industry they're also notorious for paying a lot of texas so yes u.s. technology companies pay their share but less than other industries putting it into

context for us our financial correspondent yes of course there isn't an ewok thank you. well a flurry of new trade agreements of mark xi jinping stripped to rwanda as the first ever visit by chinese president to the country and she stopped in rwanda on his way to the break summit of emerging economies south africa rwandan president paul kagame they praised china for its treatment of the continent as an equal china has become africa's biggest trading partner and a major finance or infrastructure projects critics have assailed some projects on human rights and environmental. or one of the infrastructure projects china is pursuing elsewhere in africa is the kenyan rail line which will run across the country between its indian ocean port of mombasa through to neighboring uganda it also cuts through national park territory and has come in some severe criticism . these animals roam 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 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 you economy a boost chinese railways roads and dams are rapidly changing landscapes across africa aimed at accelerating the continent's industrialization they also cemented beijing's influence. there all suspicions that chinese vaccine it produces knowing expose hundreds of thousands of children to possibly on safe fax chinese police have launched a probe into chanche on china's sen biotech over claims it sold dangerous inoculations to health facilities across the country china showing at chez which had been suspended in the morning with down ten percent of some thirty seven
