improving nothing's ever become cheaper in this country. the ria has plunged even further ahead of the reinstatement of u.s. sanctions it's now lost two thirds of its value. randolph's integrand he's a correspondent for the french news agency a.f.p. need joins us now eric how big is the bite from this fool in the reality what will the consequences be well so far we haven't seen the worst effects of that as the rio continues to deteriorate imports are going to cost more and that's going to start to really stink the normal population but what it does reflect is that people have lost faith in the government to deal with the economic problems in the country they're rushing to the dollar to try and find somewhere where they can keep their money safe we've also seen gold prices shooting through the roof and it's a sign of that lack of trust in the government to keep things of light especially

as u.s. pressure continues to mount and sanctions are just around the corner again next week and is the iranian government doing anything about the situation that we know of. yeah it's been quite interesting while the economic policies are still rather vague and they haven't been anything too convincing to get around that we are seeing them start to crack down a bit on corruption there were sixty arrests over the weekend of people who were described as having government links for profiteering over their currency problems and using their links to it to the government to illegally importing and so on and we've seen some moves towards. on a long time and it's interesting that this crisis may actually move the economy in a more positive direction on on those issues of course eric on the sixth of august they sanctions will be put into place once again what impact can we expect them to have on what well already is

state of their economy the index of u.s. consumer confidence prize in the rose in july despite analysts expecting a decline the positive trend is partly due to from past job gains and rising after tax incomes which lifted consumer spending in recent months but the optimism only reflects americans view on the shore some economic outlook consumers remaining concerned about the long term development and do not foresee growth accelerating. well i asked a wall street correspondent younes quote if u.s. consumers a right to be confident in their economy well it looks pretty good to them specially when you look at the job market and even if their wages are not really increasing that much at this point but there was also a survey out where people got how confident they are to find a new job and this survey actually hit the highest level in about seventeen years

and then also consumer confidence is close to an eighteen year high so especially the labor market doesn't look quite promising and then on top of it we also had the tax cuts that is also fueling the economy for not. are yet scooted that in new york now some say automation and digitization present a horris inari or the factories that feature could wipe out millions of jobs others say all sorts of new positions will pop up but try telling someone who's been working for the same a firm for decades. here at german electronics giant bosch workers are still operating the machines but those machines are capable of doing many tasks on their own how will that be in the future technology is developing at a rapid pace and that has a direct effect on the working world more and more jobs can be performed by robots especially in traditional manufacturing industries companies invest in robots

because they save money money they can invest in other areas older employees between fifty and retirement age often get left by the wayside a study by consulting firm mercer says that's a worldwide phenomenon. especially in china where workers fifty years and older have a seventy nine percent chance of being replaced by automation technology in robot friendly japan the risk is actually lower at fifty nine percent right here in germany fifty seven percent of older employees are in danger of losing their jobs and fifty two percent of american workers over fifty are at risk employees without special skills could be in trouble if millions in asia become unemployed the economic and social consequences will be grave. now as we all know online shopping has been booming for yes but have you ever heard of training for sales assistants on how best to do business and if the walls one job and retailer is trying to set

them up as best it can. customers here are trying out a prototype virtual reality shopping assistant. most transactions still involve exchanging hard cold cash for goods the primary method for food shoppers. but that's slowly changing. in retail one in eight euros is now spent online and the trend is increasing alongside technological advances. that means businesses need to adapt specifically they need to rethink how they train their staff. that's. of course we urgently need experts to deal with these changes we traditionally hire college grads are people making career changes. but that won't be enough going forward it will be critical to train up a new generation of apprentices. these intrepid youngsters are part of media mark's new training efforts again i like working on computers of course
