why. the world wide web turns thirty today but it is still facing growing pains. to business the world's biggest carmaker is still feeling the heat from that emissions cattle. as opposed to the rise in net profits a top twelve billion euros for last year but stricter environmental standards and regulations are squeezing the german firms profit moderns the diesel cheating affair has already cost you billions in fines now wants to try appeasing the regulators by building more. twenty two million over the next decade the company's graduate david trimble that three people's comes as europe imposes new limits on carbon dioxide and china pushes for cleaner cars. soon only electric cars will be produced here again is planning almost seventy new models.

the comic has says it's a systems over hold. to get hurt and the news is that we might see thirty percent fewer employees for production than for combustion engines which means cutting jobs and it will be difficult to do that just through fluctuation and semi retirement. that means a good market position will be vital. to such plans a doubtless unsettling for factory workers at the company's headquarters involve spork thirty percent fewer staff means thousands of jobs are at risk but the corporation is determined to revolutionize production that first the new vehicles will be built three german and two chinese plants many different models can be built on v.w. use new email platform. the application possibilities of the

technology platform range from small city comes through to the e. believe us you can also build small series vehicles like the id buggy with it. dece introduce the buggy only last week in geneva strategy is clear the more models can be produced on one platform the cheaper they are and until economies are affordable for all the shift to emo been a t. will remain an elusive tree. making good on its promise to expand production in africa a comic or expects to build a record number of vehicles this year in south africa over one hundred sixty thousand drop in the bucket compared to its global production figures but v.w. is keen to get a proper foothold in africa it's opened assembly lines in kenya and nigeria so how do you sell in a market where most people can't afford. secondhand imports roger. could be an

answer b. w. is trying out its very own app based ride sharing service in rwanda v.w. move if successful the company could roll out the system across the continent so what's behind this joining me in the studio is our correspondent. and it's difficult when you're away on holidays six weeks is it just. tell me a little bit about the dough you want its ambitions in africa just how ambitious it is and if it's actually doing enough to get where it wants to get well obviously with that strategy in rwanda which you just spoke about that is something that clearly recognizes the need for different types of solutions is not trying to sell more cars in africa recently the realize that the market isn't quite ready or isn't quite there yet people cannot afford the kinds of cars that produces they're way too expensive and out of you know most people's budgets but ride sharing could be

one way to go and that's an urban mobility solution that could work with some people so that something is trying and i think based on how that works maybe the solution could be expanded but we haven't you know obviously heard about how that's working so far well when we talk about mobility in africa i did mediately think that they'd be endless opportunities but what the actual growth prospects in africa well in terms of actual growth was speaking of one in two africans living in an urban area by twenty thirty so that means cities are growing the need to move people around those cities is going to increase tremendously if we're talking about legislation we could go to nairobi kenya for instance where regulators are planning to restrict used cars or the sale of used cars and move it down from eight years to five years and if that happens that will shut out a lot of people from that car ownership market that opens up things for peace.

offering right sharing services and if all smug and does move to nairobi they might be able to maybe tap into that market if the authorities do go along with their plans to restrict used cars in kenya for instance so there's definitely room for growth there thank you very much for coming in through more european countries are suspending flights of boeing seven three seven max eight aircraft in and out of their airspace the latest include the netherlands austria island the u.k. germany and france ethiopia and south africa have also closed their airspace to the passenger jets following sunday's fatal crash of an ethiopian airlines plane national authorities say they're concerned not enough information from that investigation is forthcoming of the three hundred seventy four max jets in operation around the world nearly half of being grounded by their owners. not to come up with

a lot of reasons not to come to work but if you would to even provided with you quitman to do your job that's the case in zimbabwe's hospitals sector suffering from years of mismanagement not unlike the economy. medical care in zimbabwe has reached its limit a sign of the health of the overall economy doctors are fed up there's no point of . way no they make the case she is doing a minute to go to to do away. with the. field fifteen field because you know the situation is so serious. at the start of the year there were bloody protests after a massive gasoline price hike. the government wants to add additional taxes and levies to prop up the state budget zimbabwe's neighbor botswana now wants to help albeit indirectly. for example it wants to support companies from botswana with

guarantees totally around one hundred million dollars if they decide to invest in neighboring zimbabwe. botswana can afford it the country and its people are making a good living from the diamond trade. privilege and here he is in the capital harare good to have you with us earlier this year zimbabwe vowed a bold economic turnaround but it looks like you can't do it on its side. certainly it can do it on its own you one is coming from a past where for the past twenty years there's green been a serious economic meltdown and created lanes particularly from the international lending institutions like i am if i'm not forthcoming saw right now is looking at options of getting help from its neighbors like south africa and botswana we have

seen in the past two weeks where zimbabwe is held to by a national commission's summit like the one that just ended today with african president. was in zimbabwe for dubai national commission but these two countries have met probably seize but not tangible commitments at the moment as to how much financial assistance they could lend to zimbabwe. one billion puller but this is only going to go to the private six because these need for the device of all of the industry for the economy to kick in if you say no real bailout for zimbabwe at the moment we saw the hopeless situation the health industry is in zimbabwe how bad the situation in other states. this situation is pretty not in good condition because the industry is operating

below forty percent capacity whereas if you look at it in the ninety's coming to the end of two thousand. the industry it was operational never used to be a big importer of duties it used to run fits of goods that were being exported to neighboring countries and even within the region but industry is down and several other sectors if you look at the infrastructure for zimbabwe it needs a boost for the country to come alive again i guess if african nations have more trade with each other that would provide a boost as well thank you very much for being with us privilege thanks for your analysis not the way we wanted the inventor of the world wide web which turns thirty today admits it's facing growing pains hate speech privacy concerns sick sponsored hacking tim berners lee is calling on governments

companies and citizens to work together and he wants the web to become even more accessible. the ability of just about anyone to contact everyone anywhere in the world is down to this man tim berners lee as a young english physicist berners lee came up with a program language that enabled computers connected to the internet to exchange data. back then he was more concerned about linking academic computers around the world the science community and something else tim berners lee didn't get his language paid and did the world wide web was free of charge from the beginning on what might have had something to do with how the internet swept and changed the world in such a short time. what we're getting to this point in just a few months when for the first time more than half the world will built will be online we're calling it a fifty fifty moment and that's where i think we've got to do two things firstly we've got to say what about the next fifty percent and there's

a lot of challenge in how we're going to get everybody connected or even the most the majority of the world connected but is also of course a lot to do to make the web better and whether that's dealing with privacy concerns with content online with governments censoring or cutting access to the web in different parts of the world there's lots to do to make sure that we're getting the web we want not a web that actually hurts humanity because that's the downside enormously powerful tech conglomerates like facebook and google who collect and monetize personal data governments that spy on their citizens they make berners lee livid so nowadays he's working to help internet users regain control and ownership of their personal data . so my business.
