the w.'s diesel scandal suddenly gets serious german prosecutors indicted former c.e.o. martin victor caught on for charges. after. catches wall street's attention but it's seno creates a social media uproar. brewing up is a sabbatical how one of maui's few female entrepreneurs is leading the way. and

turning to take artificial intelligence could save the right. let's do business these are great has reached the man at the top job and police have charged the former head of. the court with fraud is company manipulated diesel emissions tests on millions of vehicles around the world motorists into thinking they were buying green cards. martin vinta call is credited with turning folks foreign into the world's top car maker but news the company has been employing devices to give low pollution readings during exhaust testing instantly hammered the company's share price and reputation winterkorn is said to have played a major role in the company's fall from grace. you can surely give me would like to make a formal apology to our customers the authorities and to the general public for this

misconduct please believe me we will do everything necessary to reverse the damage and we will do everything necessary to win back your trust step by step. for shrewd . pentagon had to step down despite claiming he knew nothing about the emissions cheating but prosecutors accuse him of fraud unfair competition and breach of trust . they say he already knew about the practices in may twenty fourteen but did nothing to stop them and also failed to report them to authorities and customers into the was feared by staff who were under pressure to make the carmaker the global leader managers and technicians were afraid to challenge him and continue to claim that it's diesel technology was especially clean and environmentally friendly . the state prosecutor's investigations have been wide ranging the charge sheet alone comprises seven hundred pages it says venter conan four of the top executives deliberately concealed the existence of emissions cheating devices with the aim of

gaining more market share and to boost the company's wealth as well as their own. because of course it is following the story for us christoph what is going to happen to the court well he potentially condemned up behind bars for a long time but before that the court in the german city of needs to decide whether it will take up form proceedings i.e. open a court case against martin going to court and the other four executives that have been indicted here and he looks out the whole day because it's taken four years to get to this point well i'm not a legal expert but i could see the pressure on the quarter to come to a conclusion rather soon because the outcome could also be quite severe i mean prosecutors are citing a particularly serious case of fraud here which could lead up to a maximum penalty of ten years in prison plus bonuses that had been awarded to mr winterkorn and the other executives might be taken away from them in the case of martin indyk or and that could lead up to eleven million euros and should he be convicted of wrongdoings by the court them again that could make the case for fox

wagon to sue for damages so this is a big investigation you're seeing a massive massive it is the indictment alone with seven hundred pages and seeing how much is at stake here this case could take. was it all worth it then to become the largest car maker in the world and to put all this pressure on employees to get the comic where it's got well i don't think anybody would publicly say this was worth it i mean the scandal if you look at the financial impact this scandal self it has cost us wagon up to thirty billion euros interestingly though despite many diesel costumers feeling betrayed customer trust overall the loyalty hasn't suffered that much. actually the sales is so good exactly in twenty five. books record sales but again thirty billion euros i mean that money could have been spent spent much more wisely. bringing productivity and its ailing v.w.

brand up to speed coming up with a car that a big. big base of u.s. customers will actually like or pushing forward an emo billet is exactly what i was going to say that trick a lot early exactly that's the topic of our time now that is something on which fox wagon now needs to catch up while its former top brass are facing quite difficult or while those executives could spend the rest of their lives in jail thank you krista for. jimmy as chief executive is under fire for claiming africa doesn't have enough software developers the confidence biggest online retailer listed on wall street on friday grabbing the attention of global investors the fast growing nigerian company employs five thousand workers in africa and yeah its entire take development is done in portugal it's. final nick implied the reason for this is a lack of talent in africa that's caused an uproar on social media.

joy doreen beard joins us from nairobi right or wrong joy does africa have enough software developers. africa has more than enough to have developed as developed as in general i can name about hundreds of them from nairobi and on and then it's go down so to south africa you know you will see even thousands of development as a jury has got the same and north africa as well has got the same so the question of saying that there's not enough developed to tap into on the african continent is completely wrong and i think really he needs to resign that statement and just give hope to the african startups who are trying to change the way e-commerce is being perceived across the continent and i guess what people are also getting angry about on social media is that this is

a multinational european outfit that's penetrating the african market and it's a lie to sell it as completely african as the c.e.o. say well yeah. but beyond that what really these tech tech entrepreneurs are really mad about is the fact that the c.e.o. actually did not show any trust in the. sense for him to actually say that it's completely african without even mentioning the fact that the house of african program is in the company was quite disheartening and for them right now the fact that the toxins are being outside of of forgot and way it operates in fourteen african countries forty african countries do not have the presence of june at all. has quite a lot of answering thank you very much joy for your analysis there from nairobi.

most of it is exported to west africa and france madame to raise is one of the few manufacturing businesses in mali analysts say that's a problem for the economy. you have to produce goods in order to be able to export them that's molly's problem it produces too little in twenty seventeen we had a deficit of one hundred billion c.f.a. in twenty eighteen it's likely to be sixty three billion c.f.a. molly still consumes far more than it produces. it is what the job. madam to re wants to expand her business and focus on europe and the us after all from the many expatriate model ians around the world her bamma coty is a delicious reminder of their homeland something they're more than willing to pay for. south african police have stopped one of the country's biggest shipments of

rhino haunts one hundred sixty seven believed to be on their way to southeast asia where they fetch thousands of dollars it's the hope is back from such a lucrative business time to turn to take. rhinos can live to be fifty years old and in kharkiv nature reserve and wildlife sanctuary they actually have a good chance of doing said. that's because calling plays have bought the park two years ago and colleen is global marketing director of x. on soft a russian security technology and video surveillance company. when i had made the decision that we had to do something to protect the animals and use technology to become a force multiplier to protect these animals ai and deeper and it was definitely the way to go i mean to contect and my colleagues on the board of directors and said what can we do and that's when the algorithm was born and it tells the difference between a human and the animal. the rhino reserves spans two thousand eight hundred hectares

even before calling a right to have many cameras that sounded the alarm when they detected unusual movements are usually those are false alarms triggered by animals thanks to artificial intelligence the new software is able to distinguish between human and animal movements it also incorporates facial recognition we then suddenly have a case around it we have a face we have a vehicle we have all ranges that have already been dispatched to go and attain to the situation the armed forces are already on the way and it's now making things a lot tougher for the poacher and the results speak for themselves there hasn't been a single case of poaching in kharkiv reserve in the past two years. i was doing business with it.
