a chance on love. don't expect a happy ending. the church or let's just strip us. thousands of factory workers in bangladesh take to the streets full fair pay but the protests are wrapped into violence. why many chinese companies have ditched the world's biggest electronics fair in the u.s. . and a man's home is his castle but that sales pitch hasn't gone down well in turkey. let's do business working in bangladesh's garment sector can be dangerous and it

pays a pittance the government recently increased the minimum wage but it's a small raise and unions say some factory owners passing it on to workers demonstrations have turned violent. police fired rubber bullets and tear gas into crowds of demonstrators on the streets of dhaka and some of them fought back with stones over fifty protesters are reported to have been injured in the exchanges so far along with twelve policeman. the garment industry plays a key role in the asian country bangladesh is the second largest manufacturer of clothing globally and its factories supply some of the world's largest retailers although the industry has turned the nation into a major exporter the benefits haven't trickled down much the minimum wage is still just eight thousand taka around ninety five dollars a month the striking protesters want more. and we are demanding twice that sixteen thousand taka. the basic monthly income has to be ten thousand taka and

salaries have to be sixteen thousand the authorities are giving us nothing unions have warned that the strikes may spread to other cities the protests are expected to continue. on works for our bengali service sanjeev why has this wage battle erupted into violence. well you have to look at the firstly the perspective in two thousand and eighteen agreed because to restructure it was introduced for the first time so the workers would receive wages according to their position experience etc so got into this structure walker in seventh grade would get only eight thousand talk as we heard in the report last increase was in two thousand and thirteen which was five thousand three hundred talk on from there it looks like a big increase but still it's not good enough for most of the workers in one of these right now and to make matters worse was there are claims that others haven't even passed that wage hike onto some work as it is that is

a truth to those claims rather just allegation which is coming from the workers very much it's not just the actual hike that they think is insufficient the workers are accusing the owners of manipulation that is while increasing the reach of the owners to join other losses so the workers will get less money in hand of them so it's part of the amount not being big enough and other and other hand they're getting less money at the end which is of course not acceptable to them and they point out to viewers export earnings from the sector what thirteen billion dollars a year to bangladesh surely those others have more than just a bit of wiggle room yeah actually the owners are indeed dependent on the walkers and the workers are also right of the deadlines and credibility of if there's no export of the order stall then everybody will suffer so this is a mechanism which has been driving the sector in spite of all the troubles and there's not been any stop or any other problem so even this time we take the there's a discussion. which was set up

a city for about one month until number panel that you look into this problems and after all those come up with another increase but whether that would satisfy the workers or not that's not quite easy. of course is the. one thing i just wanted to point out sorry besides pay what about conditions is the sector any safer to work in considering the disasters of the past. no i mean we all know about the dead he run a plaza disaster over so many people lost their lives and i myself have visited one or two factories recently and a few years about a few years back and one can see there are some factories which are really open to foreign visitors ministers and they look quite ok and even if there's a problem they can leave the house but the big factories which are located very close to the city center in a very congested area they don't look really even if you go yourself you realize that if there's a problem they start it is no easy out so the safety standards are not actually up

to the mark and it has been sheer luck according to most of the people that nothing bigger has taken place in the recent bust and they also equipment like boilers and other hazardous chemicals and other things which are kept in those same buildings which would create a big problem and fire and and since there's no proper fights it in many of the factories that may be another disaster and then it's just a matter of time when the next is us to start saying it's not going to hear sanjeev bowman thank you very much for your analysis for us there us negotiate is a china has promised to purchase a substantial amount of american goods in feller's two days of trade talks between the two nations and use buoying investors who've been monitoring the meeting for signs of a deal to head off the taffs us statement mention only that the chinese were set to buy more from the agricultural energy and manufacturing sectors it's unclear if

there's been any agreement on intellectual property theft. the clout of trade tensions is hanging over the consumer electronics show in las vegas chinese companies have traditionally shown up strong at international tech shows but not this time. china's tech giant while away has a large boost in the us figure us and it's crowded here the company famous for its phones and tablets it's taking on apple introducing its new laptop for just a little over twelve hundred two ass dollars. at this price you'll have the forenoon to sign you up to. the screen is still here touch. if you get it back like people you will have they'll be offering to friends they're trying to focus on business here but it's certainly not easy last year the highway executive was arrested in canada at the behest of the u.s. the arrests came amid growing tensions between the two countries why why away a tan c.s. other chinese companies decided to skip the show altogether the number of china's

exhibitors is twenty percent lower than last year. the chinese vendors we spoke with were open to talk about their product stressing that they are still very much interested in the u.s. market however no one wanted to go on the record about the current straits tensions between china and us and the consequences the tensions are already slowing down business especially for startups and smaller companies to don't have the flexibility of large attack rivals east cooter anybody could make a jetson for example says it is using the show to meet with merchants and talk with competition about moving its supply chain out of china to vietnam. we will continue to look into directions and new territories all over the world. where it ends up it's undetermined that this point but i believe it's our obligation to explore. a trade war could lead to higher prices and dropping for the

news some however think that the president is not all wrong on china. i think. that they have been doing a number of the billion years for us trading for the purpose of product so you know i want to see a little bit more fairness in that respect for us it's a negative in the short term but you know maybe certain things are sitting in the right direction you know c.s. is about new tech trends and connecting with new partners this here however it's hard to ignore politics in mass make us. ever thought about what it would be like to live in a consul well the allure fades a little once you find out that all your neighbors get one to let me take you to north western turkey about halfway between is stamboul and the capital ankara if we can get back up on the screen it's a forested area dominated by agriculture that's where the city of moore do know is

the case that it's becoming economy inspired a local investor to plough millions into a development to attract big spenders and although i can't show you want to match where it is well it's empty the dream tussles have turned into a real life real estate nightmare it's a touch of disneyland deep in the rule province of bull in northwestern turkey hundreds of little castles in fact luxury houses with pointy towers and fairy tale charm if it wasn't for the barbed wire and the fact that they're all empty and chest aren't selling. situated halfway between istanbul and ankara the region is popular with tourists who like hiking in the vast forests here a turkish developer spent over one hundred million dollars building homes for arab customers who say that amusin is the inspiration for the project came from our work

in kuwait and the gulf countries we talked with our customers there and came up with more than one design based on their demands the choice in the end was for a design like this. is build on was a put up to. while the outcome is certainly a matter of taste the economic situation in turkey is clearly bad the economy is retracting really rough falling few people here are willing to spend up to five hundred thousand dollars for a villa that puts measure year dylan in a bind his satellite group is seeking bankruptcy protection he says local factors are to blame for the. move to the murchison a beach this project is three kilometers from the city center in an area that's not suitable for agriculture but despite obtaining all the approvals and permission for this project we've seen a lot of bad press that has pitted the locals against us for those any of them was

able to sort or business is what's. and the many here don't like the castles. take them at least to me we don't want these properties here we don't want those houses decided to be sold to foreigners yet. it seems the foreign office won't be coming after all for years the housing market in turkey was strong now it seems too many homes have been built hard times for the construction sector adding to the region's economic woes. business i think.
