their bruised public image and around a thousand people die in kenya each year from snakebites the world health organization claims profit greed for the lack of antidote. i'm chris cuomo welcome to the program germany wants to digitalize its schools roads and industry and tuesday produced the first load of some extra cash to help finance these plants the first round of auction ing of five g. frequencies brought in over three hundred thirty million euros analysts expect revenues of up to five billion euros once the week's long bidding is over future technology it will rely heavily on the new ultra fast mobile network. the long awaited auction for five g. frequencies kicked off with a rather old fashioned timepiece behind closed doors for contenders vodafone telecom telefonica oh too bad and united internet one and one put in their bids for

the forty one frequency blocks up for grabs the first round garnered nearly three hundred million euros the german federal network agency expects a final sum of several billion euros five g. offers data transmission speeds one hundred times faster than current l.t.e. networks this will be key for technologies like driverless cars and the control of complex industrial machines that intersect an enormous put in six enormous potential here in germany as an industrial nation wants to be part of the gigabyte society and at the forefront of industry four point zero we need these frequencies on the market quickly for industry to develop business models. quickly is the operative word china and south korea have already arrived in the five g. age this five g. bus service has started operation in the chinese city of manning offering passengers ultra fast internet and tell medicine over thousands of kilometers is already being practiced in china with five g. the frequency is used in five g. have

a shorter range and don't travel well through buildings so they require more dense arrays of transmission masts that costs money money that might be lacking when the companies have to pay so much to acquire the bandwidth critics of the auction say five g. frequencies should be offered cheaply or even for free to enable the super fast network to be built super fast so that germany won't be lagging behind other countries for years to come. now there has been a heated discussion whether germany should permit the chinese tech giant hallways hardware to be used for the high speed infrastructure the company is the world market leader but the united states has been accusing it of spying for the chinese government of the german chancellor has a clear stance on the matter take a listen. two things i don't like first these very sensitive questions of security being bandied about in the public domain and second the notion of rejecting a participant simply on the basis of the country they come from. i think everybody

should be given the chance but we shouldn't be naive and certainly acknowledge that chinese law is very much different to ours the good ones. german chancellor angela merkel there now does your digital assistant speak your mother tongue that's the challenge for many smaller language groups google and amazon assistance become more common in people's homes and it's also a very relevant challenge with many artificial intelligence applications depending on speech recognition now a group of danes is tackling the problem. of have you ever tried talking to syria in a language other than english you might find it has no idea what you're talking about that's nothing new for many genes it can't manage that one. if it works in english. siri and similar apps and devices might seem all knowing but when it comes to recognizing danish they suddenly are

a bunch of dumb dumb as the danish minister of health sophie looter demonstrates there my god except for people really i was treats our language is a barrier when using artificial intelligence. that's why the danish government is investing in a digital language database costing around four million euros. it will provide a language standard for danish authorities and public companies can contribute to tomorrow's green solutions better health and the growth of a private companies. the language bank is part of the danish government's national strategy for artificial intelligence maybe then danish won't just sound like jibberish to siri. and staying with the agenda of the tech giants we cross over to our correspondent on wall street again scored a google has already impacted many aspects of our lives of our lives now the company wants to disrupt the world of video games what do investors make of that.

google on tuesday announced plans to enter the one hundred billion dollars plus video gaming industry and you will not need any expensive hardware what google is offering is its own cloud service to stream those game seven it remains to be seen if google will actually have a chance to enter this crowded field specially with players like microsoft nintendo or sony and google also did not name a price tag yet but the stock did trade to the upside by a good one point two percent and tuesday's trading session started quite strong but ended quite silver tell us why. yeah at one point the dow jones industrial average gained about to two hundred points by the end of the day we finished the slightly lower there were reports from bloomberg that actually trade talks between china and the united states seem to be

a bit shaky at this point and china obviously wants washington to lift tariffs if deal is reached and washington seems to be a bit hesitant to do so and scored in new york thank you. for wall street back to germany and just mentioning the word diesel gives executives or over a faux wagon the creeps and likewise germany's national football team has seen much happier days now they've both teamed up hoping to sell more cars and more jerseys and polish their public image and wednesday's match against serbia the new partnership will take to the pitch for the first time. the look has certainly changed the new outfit may be a step toward polishing up the image and that of the german football association the d.f.t. as. they will succeed i'll study show that its involvement in football so far has had a positive effect on v.w. z. image for example soccer fans right the v.w.

brand is more sustainable or of higher quality than soccer enthusiasm i think. it's nice to see it. has been sponsoring soccer teams and events for some time the carmaker supports the bundesliga soccer teams both men's and women's from its headquarters involve score. and v.w. is on the ball internationally sponsoring u.s. soccer teams too. but the sponsorship of the german football association with its national teams is the crown jewel in the portfolio for which it's reportedly willing to shell out as much as thirty million euros a year. beyond that today because of course sale goal is to sell vehicles and offer mobility to the customers and to deal with these associations and clubs but we also want to accompany the german national team in the coming years back to the heights they once had that's the goal for the euro twenty twenty. one says the

d.f.t. can use those millions from v.w. its coffers are less full than in the past the association is dealing with scandals of its own over germany's bid for the two thousand and six world cup that's already cost a lot of money with demands for back taxes. still on the cards analysts say that is the main reason for the abrupt change of sponsor after forty six years with mercedes. the new team bus now comes from v.w. subsidiary m. a n. times have changed and the d.f.t. leadership is pinning its hopes on its new sponsor. over the thought i believe that v.w. is an authentic honest partner they don't just say it they also live it and if they were a real partner to soccer and i think that diesel scandal is a general issue. if it wasn't just folks who are going to it was the car industry in general and it wasn't an issue for us too much easier. in the d.f.t. both want to return to their glory days but they'll have to work hard to get there

. the world health organization says half a million people in africa need treatment for snake bites every year for many all help comes too late because developing antidotes apparently just isn't profitable. milking a snake for its venom a dangerous operation but it's the first step in the long and expensive process of creating an end even in kenya boasts some of the world's deadliest snakes and most anti venom is effective against only one species around a thousand people die in kenya each year from snakebites and even availability in africa has been in disarray since two thousand and fourteen when french laboratories sunapee stopped producing a widely used drug which was effective against the number of species. stopped producing antivenom because there is no money and the problem is as the

world doesn't look at this problem it is the poor at the end of the line in the community that cannot afford it that's the person that's. the prohibitive price of a single dose more than one hundred dollars made sales in africa unprofitable on affordability leads to lower demand and falling sales which result in reduced production higher costs and raised prices for consumers usually poor people living in rural areas. the w.h.o. has launched a massive review of the availability efficiency and safety of snakebite serum available in africa where the majority of countries have no effective or affordable and even amid all. and that's our show for more check out our website at b.w. dot com slash business for now thanks for watching mark.
