a new physical piece of tech is part of a shift to get more prominence to its services and it made the most of it announcing a new news subscription service. remember think they are doing platform multiplayer and he claims to have reinvented the credit card. this one's made of titanium. falling sales for some of its tech products including i phones about what's behind this strategy with such big names already agreeing to make programs for apple t.v. plus tim cook will be hoping its products can reach an even bigger audience. younes quarter joins us now from wall street to break this down for us again it's good to see you now apple shifting to services to shore up flagging product sales

but how much would you rate that as a strategy. well it is an important strategy for. worlds and lives and services to a certain degree become more important than hardware but having that said in the last year actually services that apple already worth of fastest growing sector was a revenue growth of thirty three percent but overall that amounts to fifteen percent of total revenue. pulled so it's far too early to send services will even come close to the success. of the i phone. now especially streaming services there that's a pretty crowded field already how do you think it would compete against amazon and appliques it certainly in not easy and you mention to amazon and

flicks about their old saw heating with the likes of walt disney and with the new news service also with facebook and what we shouldn't forget is if we talk about content for example that bill is planning to produce as well it's difficult to plan success and content is also expensive and that has been the big upside from the i phone they had two huge margins and that was the main reason why apple had stellar earnings in the past couple of years and why the company for the first title was the first company ever to reach your market capitalization of god one trillion dollars so it certainly won't be easy for apple and if i look at their reaction here on wall street's traders were quite hesitant after the announcement the stock lost a good one point two percent on monday and was that was the biggest loser in the dollar jones industrial average wow so skeptical investors there from apple's new

it would help. the alternative would be a well functioning widespread train network but there are many challenges facing the rail sector. the infrastructure of bays for the development of the rule we stick to in ghana is nonexistent in most parts of the country in areas where you will find your lines day in bad shape and threatened by human activities if you are now undergoing repair way. managers in charge of the country's existing railway infrastructure admit that the system has been poorly managed in the past. it's going to have a very rudimentary. level of real infrastructure. all that we have and which is incorporated in phase one is that which is bequeath to us after the the exit of the administration all of my hundred forty seven kilometers of it that's it

. but even with that due to lack of maintenance due to lack of investment from governments successive governments the infrastructure degrade. degrade it degrade it until it came to you know start from halt. only to train networks are active one in western gonna and the other in the capital but passenger numbers are low a current plan calls for the addition of four thousand kilometers to the country's network at a cost of more than twenty one billion dollars the hope is for backing from europe and asia city planners say the investment is essential. yet their course is a man of war that will. go to erupt in the adeptly evil particularly the ivory billed india cities the cost is going to be huge but when it is stretched over a. long period you see that is economical. the
