and she thinks they will see if regulators can make more headway than american investors their news from another big automaker has a ford saying it's slashing five thousand jobs in germany what's what's going on there. well it's even a ford already and i was in general intention to revolve making european business which is typically a way of benzine that cost saving measures such as the job cuts are coming by the time to company talk about closing factories to stop making a specific models and eliminating thousands of jobs also but these is not a specific case all four day all the makers are on the wall that are forced to cut spending not increase collaborations. not only sales are third in certain areas are kind of a sluggish but also the reason need to invest in an electric cars to push the market forward right who's there luis toro there for us in new york thank you as always was a. boeing says it will deliver an upgrade to the much scrutinized flight control

software for its seven thirty seven max jetliner in the coming weeks that as french investigators begin a probe into the flight recorders from a crash seven thirty seven max operated by ethiopian airlines should the software indeed have played a role in the fatal accident boeing would likely face a wave of lawsuits from passenger families and the costs could be steep. what is it about these aircraft what caused the boeing mix crashes in ethiopia and indonesia and why did the u.s. aviation authority the f.a.a. wait so long to implement its ban after almost all other aviation authorities had introduced it is. high i think that the f.a.a. was too slow by about twenty four hours other countries with quicker but then the f.a.a. is on to bill to the white house which in turn has close contacts with boeing time for the f.a.a. to explain. the president i have talked about that very thing and i will tell you

this planes are far more complex he's right about that but i think most aviation experts would tell you that since we have automated aircraft since the the dawn of automation safety has improved dramatically and while they are more complex they are definitely safer. tens of thousands of jobs are now at risk at boeing so is the f.a.a. too close to the huge plane maker. boeing mistake and a real hit in the public relations image. to be fair to boeing there are just certain things that it cannot say during the act of aircraft investigation but when it comes out says we believe the airplane a safe they need to tell you why they believe the airplane a safe and they did convey that message i just say the airplane a safe without so to speak showing their math behind that. boeing still says the plane is safe and production continues but it's now halted all deliveries given the uncertainty surrounding the recent crash. and over to europe now german rail

firm deutsche of bonn is expanding its digital network and the hardware will come from chinese telecom giant. the same hallway now in the crosshairs of u.s. authorities who claim the company's the trojan horse for beijing state owned rail company says there's nothing unusual about the partnership. wants to go digital and for that it needs an ultrafast telecommunications network the german state rail company plans to operate is trains remotely and huawei is set to make that possible i the contract is worth half a billion euros was signed several years ago and says it's undertaken thirty checks and has no security concerns. the u.s. government meanwhile has plenty of them particularly when it comes to the close ties between the telecommunications supplier and china's ruling communist party

just how safe is data running through huawei built network is beijing listening to the phone call was made with its technology the white house is clear when it comes to developing its ultra fast five g. network it wants the chinese firmly at arm's length the german government says it wants or its five g. network developers to sign and no spy agreement something hallway says it's happy to do china says its new foreign investment law will level the playing field for overseas businesses operating in the world's second largest economy the national people's congress rubber stamped measure friday following a speedy draft process that was time to trade negotiations with the u.s. the law is now set to take effect next year but some analysts say it doesn't address the concerns of investors. on the last day of the national people's congress an overwhelming majority passed beijing's new foreign investment will the

purported aim level the playing field for foreign companies and investors in china . well the version on the foreign investment no which this session has officially approved is a foundational law which promotes a high level of openness to the outside world in a new era we need to study this deeply implement this storm really and according to a high level of openness promote economic and high quality development. china wants to send a signal both to europe and most of all to the u.s. the trade conflict is weighing heavily on both sides and beijing wants to resolve it as soon as possible. to see the opening up to the world is china's basic policy it has enabled chinese people to benefit widely and has benefited the world why would we change that measures are being spoken of then of course they will be on edge. but experts say the new lows wording leaves too much room for

interpretation they say instead it's a symbolic gesture with the aim of assuring foreign partners that beijing is opening itself up to the outside world. there's one reliable bellwether for the political climate in any country when the taxi drivers start getting angry the government better be careful just two weeks before turkish local elections the country is sliding into recession economic output shrank by three percent in the fourth quarter last year increasingly the fallout of president wants isolationist policies is being felt by the average turkish citizen and taxi drivers in istanbul are not happy. the view over the boss paris is beautiful but rush hour traffic in the city of fifteen million can be torturous especially for taxi drivers who are constantly stuck in traffic jams at this point they're pleased if they don't have to argue with passengers about the price. is and knows that there

are some black sheep among the istanbul taxi drivers who collect excessive prices and he gets to feel that driving a taxi is not much fun anymore. in the past people mainly talked about soccer on weekends and at the beginning of the week especially on the days when league matches took place we used to talk to our passengers about the performance of the teams or mistakes of the referees but for the past year everyone who gets into the taxi has been complaining about the economy their financial worries about the government and stock prices. above all the inflation rate of just under twenty percent is depressing the mood the high gasoline prices are hitting taxi drivers twice as hard. if it's not absolutely necessary people avoid the taxi they tend to use public transport instead that's bad for us. these days many turks use their money mostly

for food prices have risen by up to sixty percent in just one year the government is trying to counter this with subsidized fruit and vegetables. and the weaker growth is also attracting investors attention after the financial crisis they had pumped a lot of money into turkey which they believe to be in good hands in the emerging market if this flow of money now stops there's the threat of a real recession and that's why taxi driver genk isn't wants to vote for the largest opposition party in the local elections at least they should benefit from the poor economic situation. and that's it for me and the business team i'm stephen beard the berlin you know of course find out more about these and other stories on our web site dot com slash business falls on facebook and twitter thanks for watching.

and i would you know. this is deja news africa coming up in the next fifteen minutes the teenager is putting climate change on the agenda school children in uganda skip cause to demonstrate for the environment we'll be talking to one of the students at the forefront of the fridays for future protest in kampala. also take you to nairobi way well the latest gather to talk about climate change would also give they achieved more than just posing for the cameras and giving speeches. and what's it like to be mistaken for a whale. to get a firsthand account from the south african dive had an out of this world encounter with the beast off the ocean.

i'm christine one girl welcome to news africa i'm glad you achieved in the climate change movement started by the swedish teenage a great touch who has seen schoolchildren from all over the world walk out of calls on fridays in protest aimed at bringing attention to climate change in uganda a group of students held a demonstration in solidarity with the movement in the capital kampala now because of strict laws in uganda on public protests they were restricted as to how far they could go from the school but the students weren't detected and made the best of the situation. i spoke. with a student championing the hash tag fridays for future in uganda i asked her why she decided to become an activist for the environment. to say that to become an

environment was because when i am so what ghetto us chained to in play in her country i saw the change in plate change event and they saw that it was really a bug cause. the outcomes for us change. outcomes uganda is expressing very now in climate change so i was going to say that. yeah ok so great it was an inspiration for you but talk to us about the challenges in uganda what are the climate challenges in your country. the challenges uganda is expressing the frustration there's a lot to do for station there's a lot of visitors. from grain name which they. say that this is really affecting the end of this is really affecting my fellow student

that some of them unknown to him going to school. so there are lots of there lot of changes uganda is experiencing now ok so what is you'll you'll miss people in uganda who don't think that climate change is an urgent matter what is your message to them. my message to them is that when they say that cutting down trees it's not affecting our lives. when they cut down trees are going to leave us so bad that is they going to say ineffective will they give a for that they want. i'm giving them them and saying that they may day because they want they may cut down trees because they want to want but they're affecting someone else's lay some minuses future believing that so. there's that freakish. things they read so they should know things no we.

thank you lee and i will get with the student championing the hashtag friday's full feature in uganda thank you ok now staying on the subject of climate change here's a not so fun fact for you germany a country with significantly less sun than virtually any country in africa generates more solar power than the whole continent combined so it's really no surprise that leaders gathered at the one planet summit in kenya said africa needs more money and better science to protect it from climate change at the summit billions of dollars were committed to the cause he is kenya's president kenyatta climate change continues to be a major threat sustainable development worldwide its impact place is this proportionately everybody the poor and vulnerable

we must therefore integrate climate action and sustainable development in our collective efforts to achieve the objectives and other part of the greenland of the twenty thirty agenda for sustainable development. i'll be talking to the un's assistant secretary general about that one planet summit in nairobi in a moment but first to a group of kenyan environmentalist going to great lengths to raise awareness about the harmful effects of plastic tables an entire boat out of plastic waste to highlight the importance of recycling. the good ship flip floppy set sail on a mission it's the first sailing vessel built completely out of plastic waste incorporating around thirty thousand flip flops and other garbage the team took two years and ten tons of plastic to build this ten meter vessel on lamu island off the canyon coast we had this dream of being recycled plastic us

there was so much crying about the plastic. we feel responsibility eight million tons of plastic waste end up in the world's oceans every year and some of it makes landfall here in kenya this group of environmental activists want to change that they collected garbage and raised money to build the guard they even have the support of the united nations program to combat climate change it seems so simple to me it's so obvious the motivation is just to share something positive we wanted to have a colorful beautiful message and that's what the flip flop is it's really clear positive message about plastic being valuable. and aside from floating a message to save the environment so far flip floppy has managed swimmingly on a five hundred kilometer voyage from mood to zanzibar. the u.n. is one of the coaching is off the one and it's seven and joining me now from

nairobi is such as he is the un's assistant secretary general he's also the head of the new york office at you when vironment welcome to africa mr puffy we've been talking to youngster taking part in the fight. as for future movement you attended one of those protests in nairobi today but i wanted you to talk to whether or not you're satisfied with the outcome of the summit you've got youngsters out on the streets you've got politicians in a room can you deliver concrete solutions for these young people well i think the young people who are. on the streets for the right reasons and they should do more of it if you ask me. primarily because it is their future we are talking about. and it is their generation that needs to take responsibility for what has happened and if they need to learn from our generation that has not been very responsible in

its behavior here we have treated the planet i mean we're talking about a continent that's only responsible for four percent of global greenhouse emissions we sometimes hear some leaders on the continent talk about the fact that this is not a problem that we've created and so those that have created the problems should be the ones to commit the resources to fix it what is your message to his leaders who speak like that. well i think you know the i wouldn't argue with them because these are a sovereign countries with responsibilities and they have their views which is perhaps rooted in the facts as they see it but what i would say is that the time to change our practices our behavior and the time to become sustainable is now and i would urge those leaders to not be led by the destructive policies of other countries and other governments that have seen large scale devastation of natural

resources and that has literally brought the planet to the level of bankruptcy not racist bankruptcy that it faces now so there's nothing to learn there is there are lessons to draw and i urge all those leaders to step back and see the facts for what they are and chart out a very different path with rifles right misreported very quickly if you could money has been committed here many has been pledged and it's not unusual a lot of these summits this is what tends to happen but how can we can we be sure of the fact that this money is actually going to go to the places that it's it's said it's going to be going to. i think it's about creating a partnerships it's about realising the potential of new ideas and there is no dearth of money we have for too long focused on public finances that is governments contributing or a set of governments contributing for a set of countries that are in need of it whereas i think the true promise lies in

mobilizing private finance for public good and in that you know just to give an example of the pension funds of the word. together manage about eighteen trillion dollars if even five percent of those resources were channelized into sustainable development and climate sensitive agriculture climate smart agriculture i think the world will change right i don't think there is any doubt of resources it is just the lack of imagination such as your party the un's assistant secretary general thank you and now we bring you the story of the man who was almost just swallowed by a whale which is seen in the picture behind me is a diver by the name of raina shem caught in the jaws of a bride's whale this happened along the southern coast of south africa while he was filming sharks feeding his ship on how he survived and what he thinks we can learn from his experience. what happened was it suddenly got dark and i felt some

pressure. and being pushed forward and only then i realized a whale had grabbed me you can't panic. room for panic you always have to become and i think i did the right thing otherwise we would be able to. as we left on that very day from port elizabeth harbor we drove about thirty nautical miles south into the indian ocean and we found a bait ball of birds feeding on fish so i started adjusting my camera and start taking pictures of sharks going through the ball of fish and then out of the seven without any further notice from my lift side something gretly and push me through the water and i realized instantly that it must be a whale it got pinched like and dark and only then i started my thinking process in terms of it was more a reaction process because i knew you can't swallow me so most likely you will die

of. old my breath and fortunately this gentle giant realized very quickly that i was not his prey and he pushed me out again with the water and it's probably once i realized it was a whale and that i could still think i had no fear whatsoever but there was also no time for there was only time for reaction what it actually shows is the whale instantly really realized his mistake and imagine how it would have been a big piece of plastic it would have swallowed me and at the end of the day he would have died now we are able as humans to prevent blessed in the sea and this is what we must do we must help these creatures to survive and this is the message which goes out of the. i believe that they did every news africa you can catch all our stories on our website and our facebook page we need you now with more pictures from the first friday's will feature protests in uganda and kenya at all next time i buy. plato cut cut
