a lot and in berlin thanks for joining us it's the first african start up the list on a major global exchange online retailer jumeirah how does first trading day today it shows new york to raise one hundred ninety six million dollars selling its shares in the middle of it set marketing range besides raising money the firm is also looking at raising its profile and boosting growth now in june as potential is huge a market is developing across africa off faster and larger than any than in many other parts of the world when juno was founded in two thousand and twelve it was launched in the continent's four biggest countries morocco egypt south africa and nigeria now it's active in fourteen and nations are third not the only game in town and africa's logistical challenges are immense. clothing household goods mobile phones t.v.'s if it can be sold to me is likely to have us.

for african shoppers tired of encountering a limited range at their local stores and malls the e-commerce giant's large product offering gives it a competitive advantage that helped to grow quickly. the group has eighty one thousand active sellers and four million customers online. in two thousand and eighteen sales of mine to two hundred thirty million euros but high investment costs mean jimmy is still in the red it actually lost one hundred seventy million euros last year but analysts are betting on solid growth in the future at present only one percent of retail sales in africa take place online as internet access continues to grow e-commerce is likely to expand to in recent years to me it has entered the logistics and payment system sectors to prior to today's i.p.o.

analysts peg timea to be worth one point five billion dollars. walt disney will soon launch its own streaming service charging customers about seven dollars a month the service called disney plus starts in the us in november and will reach all major markets within the next two years it will stream all content owned by the media conglomerate and that includes classics like the lion king but also the star wars franchise by marvel and pixar as well as the nature documentaries produced by national geographic. disney also recently purchased twenty first century fox to library all that content will be pulled from that lake starting this here and appear exclusively on the new service. now we have a flurry of activity on wall street so it's high time to bring in our man on the markets can score at a high end so let's start with jr how was it received on its first day of trading

it was a very stormy start by the end of the day there's stock went up by more than seventy percent and was that reaches the market capitalization of roughly four billion dollars even if since its founding a mass loss in the past seven years of more than eight hundred million dollars by the wall street obviously sees the growth potential when it comes to new countries so when it comes to overall revenue growth and that really got the stock going here on the first trading day i ask around here on wall street at the new york stock exchange and i was told the actually is the very first african company being listed here at the new york stock exchange that does not come from south africa but in this case from nigeria obviously wall street does believe in the growth potential of many african markets impressive and it's been a big day for it is the two but a somewhat less auspicious one for

a not like shall we say. certainly because netflix is getting a big competitor and so far netflix was also running some of the disney content and that will probably not be possible in the future so the stock of missed netflix by about four and a half percent by the way next week netflix will be coming out it was their earnings report and it's a whole different story with this new that struck a flight about eleven and a half percent to reaching the new all time high and what was mind blowing you on wall street is the price for the new service that is probably to begin here in the u.s. in november's six ninety nine per month and just to give you a comparison if you wanted to see the next disney movie in theaters here in new york you would need to pay about sixteen dollars and the netflix service will probably increase in price to thirteen dollars so a very aggressive price of from this is. an unbeatable deal from disney thank you very much chance court on wall street it's one of the biggest mergers in the oil

sector u.s. based chevron is buying anadarko in a deal valued at thirty three billion dollars with crude prices going up forty percent since the beginning of the year chevron hopes to improve its exploration especially in texas and the gulf of mexico the deal will give it a stronger position in liquefied natural gas. now who should pay for the pain of the past students at georgetown university have decided they should at least partly they voted to add a symbolic twenty seven dollars and twenty cents to their twist in fees to benefit the descendants of slaves sold by the university two hundred years ago but the vote has not been without controversy and the next report we hear from some students at georgetown and how they got to that number i'm not a patient because our crowd or country is in fact it's hard to say i'm a patriot because of what we could be. more she says the u.s.

could be is farah nihilism on the students at georgetown university calling for their own tuition fees to rise by twenty seven dollars and twenty cents per semester why such a precise amount ten cents for each of the two hundred seventy two slaves sold by the university package eight hundred thirty eight to keep itself afloat the initiative if approved will see every student paying into a pot that would help fund for example scholarships for the descendants of slaves. i think is really important for georgetown take a stand because like the human capital that we gain from the sale of these people is still benefiting us a person would have closed down without these people giving this kind of like and willing sacrifice and so i think as a student goes here like i'm benefiting a lot from this education so i owe it to these people and their descendants to get up back here the students held a nonbinding focus on whether or not to introduce the increase in fees and everyone

was in favor so personally i'm just going to go to you know i i. i empathize with the costs with the idea of paying reparations but i don't think it should be coming from the students i think that the university is the one who made this mistake several years ago and i think that the university is responsible for paying its reparations for that proved to be the minority opinion georgetown students voted by two thirds to introduce the reparations fund is now to the university's board of directors to take the final decision. and now we'd like you to meet a pair of gun and game designers using augmented reality to combine activism and amusement they've developed a game and tended to tackle pollution and to teach recycling it's set in gone as biggest waste dump site in the game as in real life the stakes are high. imagine you are a space command and responsible for keeping. what would you do. this

to broaden our how we understand how we are whatever we need in. the chronicles of clean new is one part of a mental game called africa it consists of fifteen different location based mobile games that are aimed at creating positive social change across the continent. a different approach to problems. solving it is to communication through game mechanics thinking out of the box and sometimes thinking like there's no books are actually we want to see that approach a problem solving operator. i think game current a focus is on pollution but prince andrew at de feo hopes that in the future the game could tackle all sorts of important issues i want to see africa being sustainable in all areas. of job or sustainable at the system when it comes to

business when it comes to other courts are when it comes to game development every industry is the industrial revolution africa must be the situation lies right and if you feel afraid to sustain that one it's well for you to be able to run so in turning fifty but antarctica i want to see africa be that if you look at how we created. for the moment this vision of a clean africa is only a virtual reality can gaming help the vision crossed over into the really want to. thank you for watching.
