the authorities have organized extra flights. imagine services also racing to get help to people stranded near the epicenter of the quake in the north and are appealing for doctors under nations to help the injured. and with that you're up to date now on day to happier news i'm sarah kelly in berlin thank you so much for watching have a great day. with different languages we fight for different things that's fine let me all stick up for freedom freedom of speech and freedom of the press. giving freedom of choice global news that matters w made for minds.

we make up oh but we watch as. the under educated we are the same with the surface of. the want to shape the continents future. to be part of the african youngsters as they share their stories their dreams and their challenges. to seventy seven percent. platform africa during. the war. who to believe this time facebook tries to explain its way out of what sounds like the next on the scandal involving banks your account details so if. sanctions i don't think so expect an exodus of foreign companies from iran from today as new u.s. sanctions take hold. and the digital dumpster how is that amazon clogging city streets

with the smog in collection system. because all in let's do business facebook continues to cause concern about how private out there are reports the spalling media company has been trying to get its hands on now bank account details. the dust is yet to settle on the facebook cambridge analytical scandal in which the data of millions of users were harvested to further political agendas and now facebook wants to collect detailed information on bans clients to broaden its range of services and increase user engagement on its messenger app which has one point three billion users the wall street journal says facebook has approached several major banks including j.p. morgan chase and citigroup but many of them have turned it down they don't want to pass client account data on to facebook facebook has denied its asking bands for clients account data it says it simply works with banks to offer uses

a connection to check their account balance or chat with the back. editor in chief at motherboard deutschland. joins us now. and what should we actually believe this time i do remember that last battle it wasn't all that long ago food through we keep talking about facebook on this show right well i think we have to remember that knows such thing going on as a facebook representative and a banking representative meeting in a dr raj and exchanging secret of hard drives. no dodgy video it's not really about what the a wall street journal headline kind of suggested that facebook is giving access to their users and then asking for the banking data of the banks and it was especially only bought us banks they don't know all of our banking history by now what this is about though is facebook trying to become more and more of a platform where you do all your daily dealings on banking and financial

transactions honestly one of those so does want you to spend more time on the platform so they get more of your data but so we would need our bank details at the end of the day wouldn't it whether or not from the banks all from us but i guess it's the point that they have to ask us and our banks exactly well interestingly we're talking about facebook messenger which is. a product that's not been talked about so much but it is one of the essential tools when it comes to product development and they already have a feature called marketplace we can purchase things and so it's only natural for facebook to try to do more with messenger and if you want to opt in on messenger. doing yoyo financial dealings on on messenger then yes you will end your banking details you will enter what you do on your bank account and then facebook will know that so actually getting your history of banking transactions not that interesting for facebook but having a perspective to have your data entered there is a natural development if you were to opt in yes it sounds like what they're trying

to do is copy the chinese apps that have mustered this system of retaining cost of as and making sure they stay in that one app and do everything pizza's telephone with friends and update their bank accounts you know you probably referring to one of the most popular chinese apps called we chat and i think the silicon valley has been doing this all along if you remember for example amazon it started as a book company and now they sell everything what do they not sell so facebook is just following that same strategy of trying to become an integrated platform for everything and yes that should concern data privacy as well and everyone who wants to use facebook should have that in mind. it's not that simple as with the chinese model because facebook is not a state state related company like we. thank you very much for coming in extremely interesting stuff thank you for the challenges of doing business with iran it just got hot it washington's new sanctions affects european companies too many of the

multinationals do business with both the u.s. and run for president donald trump says it's either one or the other. benyamin seventy three mm has spent the last two years trying to build up trade ties with iran his family owned company produces measuring devices that can be used to detect leaks in water and gas pipelines three hundred people depend on its worldwide exports including to iran its somethings if it does not want to give up he would like to continue trading with both the u.s. and iran. it is always what we are worried that our ability to do business with the us will be restricted that could mean fines or even ending up on a blacklist so that we won't be able to export anything there many german companies have invested heavily in iran they had high hopes like here at the german iranian chamber of industry and commerce in tehran but all of

a sudden that's come to an end here it's not that i. after three years it was time for companies to begin earning profits one spin is really began to flourish. and now the sanctions have come into force again. big german corporations are among those affected such as folks. at its iranian commercial vehicle division order books for vans ambulances and taxis are full but the company is holding off on new investments and mercedes maker dime learned on stun tuesday that it was putting its expansion plans for iran on hold. its govt. is there anything the e.u. can actually do it says it wants to support these european companies. well of course european governments can make sure that financial transactions with iran

remain possible at least state owed bangs could be forced to continuously provide those financial services also governments could protect exports and investments in iran something that the german government for example has promised to continue to do what the european union of course cannot do is prevent the american government from imposing fines against companies that do not follow the sanctions and even though the european union's blocking regulation is talking about the possibility of compensation for damages that european companies might face in case they do not follow the u.s. sanctions it's very unlikely that a company like diner for example to the government in the united states in order to get those compensations looking regulation doesn't sound like it's all that. effective thank you very much conrad. just because in order to make

a produces big cause there's only means it's making the big bucks that's the finding of a new study by the center for automotive research at the university of do fall it shows it's how you not free comic a ferrari is the leader in revenue per cost sold it made sixty nine thousand euros per costal well that was the first half of twenty eighteen which also showed that the u.s. electorate come make a tesla loses eleven thousand euros per vehicle sold that one of the company's voting through cash and it's got some seriously ambitious projects ahead of it german car makers like the sadie's make around three thousand euros on every car sold but at the end of the day it's not just about the profit per vehicle it's also about the number of cars sold of course b.w. is a pole position there despite all those dirty diesels now if you've ever tried driving from amsterdam you'll know what i'm talking about it's like

a game of super mario brothers things jumping out at you left right and center you've got to have one foot on the brake all the time but there are also lots of new digital solutions to ease the traffic. amsterdam is doing everything it can to prevent cars from driving into the city center but traffic is still a problem that's because it's not just cars filling up the streets as garbage collector robert slobo explains. the situation in amsterdam has just gotten worse with the increasing number of tourists you've got to be even more careful. with so many street cars taxis cyclists and pedestrians on the road it helps to keep the number of trash collecting trips to a minimum so these garbage trucks only go out as needed when the underground bins that store residents trash throughout the city are full but how do trash collectors like robert know when these bins need emptying. he can see it on his tablet

it's linked to sensors inside the trash bins and calculate the most efficient route before he sets out that. work has gotten a lot easier in the past ten years we used to collect garbage bags and throw them into the trucks now we operate a cream we don't get dirty and we're a lot more efficient. everywhere for sure and. this is still a pilot project but because it's so successful the plan is to use the system across amsterdam leoni of beer in from the city's public works department is now looking for a company to carry out the job which offers many benefits. and all the big and the amount of garbage varies for example in the some of us less of it he says and we can also let our people take vacation. planning is especially important since we don't have enough garbage truck drivers. that blend in with. robert's work has

been truly enhanced thanks to artificial intelligence. you know ten years ago i could never imagine that i one day look at a tablet to see how much garbage is in containers. and so today you know a job that used to take ten people can be done by one person. but robert isn't worried about his own job as already mentioned there's a shortage of garbage truck drivers even in high tech amsterdam. boston business if.
