coming up next indeed business africa national elections later this year in tunisia but the government is reluctant to end its state of emergency in the country be satisfied economic problems and the national currency plummeting. that story and more coming up with get hot and for us shortly do stay with you if you can. use to the curious and. do it yourself network. the news. channel. and don't miss out. on the controversy people fight for survival companies on a budget for you but if i get one there's a flood water comes up to your waist on your clothes faster everyone needs to but. the lack of water is equally dangerous. there's junk you can see people move south

so they can plant crops and find food stamps. floods and droughts climate change become the main driver of mass migration you could not write any kind of peace not if you want them probably most of them to come from. the carnatic so this starts it will thirty years on t w. striking teachers runaway prices protests in the streets and still no end to the emergency laws the economy into misha is still reeling from unemployment and inflation and people of. tourism into new year we call those after a string of charo time sky visitors away tourists are now being with british in the streets. this is business africa. in berlin.

tenacious state of emergency was to be lifted today but instead the government wants to announce an extension for yet another months its election year poverty is rife and the government wants to avoid any mistakes but urgent action is needed on the moribund economy with unemployment at fifteen percent and inflation at seven. in february teachers in the tunisian capital took to the streets demanding higher wages better pensions and improved working conditions in schools the teachers are not the only ones protesting the past months have seen nationwide strikes by public sector workers as international lenders call for cuts to government spending for some businesses the problem is that the government is not doing enough to stop the fall of the currency the deanery. since twenty fifteen the dinar has lost a third of its value against the euro tunisia's foreign currency reserves have

windles as its trade deficit mounts for instance the country currently imports half of its gas supplies from abroad. but the weak currency has at least one positive effect it makes tourism cheap last year a record eight point three million visitors came bringing sorely needed revenues to tunisia let's bring in all fairness our mass so first of all emergency law was not lifted today what does that mean for tunisia and businesses. so the emergency was actually in a place that the only a few interruptions little truant. media granted doesn't cheat a lot for business and so are you operating in tunisia not sex strong negative signals one hundred one you're far from the main limit for civility and actually does not happen specialists and that's the state of emergency that's recent developments and let me in let me out in

a back country answer risk and you know outbursts of. destruction have been taking to actually. solve the whole geopolitical and rates it doesn't get my hands to change the economy. so it's the same old story isn't it international lenders ask for budget cuts the population demands more spending which way is to going now. so i was allowed to see government has been playing along with the international legacy especially our last international monetary fund and a lot of pressure on the country to let its. a list actor and. i want to such a good actually it's your answers lots you're getting regular ice in the crisis and rick three months until last month was actually getting up early and asleep and for some. it's sort of subtle closing down roads on the main highway three and i just see it time to restart or hang barriers that the contractor

doesn't rely on and we have to monitor resolution so that puts a lot of strain on and how that's going to matter we. actually be able to take back to you. as are you mention a few of the issues there what does the most important thing but be to mission economy needs most urgently right now briefly if you are. so of course you need some ass from sun also to rise through the number of tourists was national good stuff i'll note a lot of that money actually goes for an awkward since your interpretation rather than saying i didn't read especially if you are experiencing. some relief to her. to match mine and actually it's nice but as he will say here is actually nothing. for her but in my theory must or to think a certain strategy of thinking to know where you want to practice. so you can turn

in an example of her three interactions government negotiating or cream trade if. you know that even the sunnis are partially staying and mentor the girl really don't know what really and how it will actually impact the national economy an occupational what do you want to. measure in tunis thank you we spent in asia where revenues from tourism have recovered after attacks by islamist terrorists kept visitor numbers down until last year the sector accounted for eighty percent of the country's gross domestic product in twenty eighteen bottles some secrets returned many are appalled by another problem waste is spoiling once pristine beaches and even cities in the capital tunis a special police force is trying to stamp out the problem. come olds and pristine white beaches that's the tunisia you seen him post cards but in reality everyday

life looks a bit more like this trash of all kinds piling up in the streets bottles plastic bags as though there weren't any bins here at all in the capital tunis people have to plot their paths through musses of rubbish this police unit is chasing a special kind of criminal they're on the lookout for little bugs the so-called green police has been operating in tunis for a year now cracking down on polluters. and then i would put on one troll every day for every environmental infringement we issue a fine. that is coming in store owner is let out to his empty rubbish bins with the trash lying next to them is fined sixty dinners a lot of money for many here and up the garbage collectors didn't come for days and days even though i called and asked them to that was and what was most of that was nonsense the collectors come every day. the green police has some three hundred offices across nice with their enthusiasm and their ticket books they are trying to

fight public indifference towards name vironment but when it comes to pollution in this scale there's not much they can do it seems dumping waste has become normal. in this neighborhood the people are living amidst their trash. just cynicism that we can put everything clean in our own details and nobody helps us at all but mother cares about when it rains this bill turns into a sewer and no one can get through. and is not just city dwellers who are affected in the countryside is a similar situation ideally pastas shouldn't look like this. back in tunis the green police is patrolling a wealthy neighborhood of spotted residents who have not been disposing of their waste proper. only the groundskeeper is home but he says he doesn't know anything about the trash. he will get is

a lecture anyhow and is told that he is responsible for it regardless. in the end everyone chips in to help clear the garbage off the street but an easier will need to do a lot more to become the country seen the post cards. and not some of the other business news making headlines around the world u.s. pop star is teaming up with the added us to make a lot of. us say no will be named creative partner of the german sports equipment maker. is the latest in a line of celebrities to team up with artist whose shares rose following the announcement. the european central bank will report. to raise fresh funds to get the go ahead for a merger with fellow german come out experts say the request would complete complicate it could create europe's third largest bank both lenders have struggles in the aftermath of the financial crisis. the e.u. says greece has fulfilled its reforms as part of its exit from its bailout program

president donald trump is indicating that the trade conflict between the world's top two economies is nearing an end we've agreed to far more than we have left to agree to. fact i would say i think i could say that some of the toughest things that the region we have some things that are actually easier ways you know that we're we're doing but it's a very very using a word that i don't like using too often but it's a very very comprehensive deal on the chinese side some flattery i little caution and even less detail. because if you write. great progress. to steal from beneath. you because of. the trade conflict began early last year when the u.s. very to crack down on what it called unfair chinese trade practices these include

station to invention in markets and the handling of foreign intellectual property china is a pretty committed to buying more u.s. goods and to opening its markets but questions remain over how such changes would be enforced there are still some major major issues that. we should be taking over all this it would have softened you start to think of the. characteristic conference from the u.s. president donald trump and the more cautious optimism from those who've been doing most of the negotiation the world's biggest economies may be close to a deal but getting there may take longer than expected. nigerian president has reportedly said his country loses more than one billion dollars every year after when citizens seek medical treatment abroad thousands of wealthy africans receive medical attention outside their countries to avoid underfunded or ill equipped local health care systems now voting for a solution to help close the gap in his country's health service much like other
