of nature darkest instrument. w. . me. a symbol of national pride and stimulus for uganda's economy or is it just a waste of public money that should go elsewhere you're gonna research it's own national airline after twenty years and critics say widespread corruption will send it into a nosedive before it can really take all. also drowning in trash since china stopped accepting western economies trash for recycling a slew of countries have suddenly had to tidy up their own mess at any easy. this

is business africa. in berlin welcome. uganda started to revive its national airline which has been defunct for two decades today it took delivery of two new canadian built bombardier see our j. nine hundred jets the new uganda. regional aircraft landed and hoard after being flown there from canada ugandan government says restarting the national carrier will help the countries take a slice off those regions growing aviation business and also invigorate the service sector of the economy. but critics especially new governs opposition disagree does uganda really need its own airline or is it just a prestige project for president yoweri museveni questions i want to discuss with our correspondent. in kampala julius. the critics say that uganda doesn't really need its own allies and does it.

i think it's been terrified from the fall position where governments say critics have only go to the awards to see it sees that you're going to really needs an airline to boost tourism to attract foreign investors but the critics say the government is not ready to move a commercially viable entity and they find the business really fragile and that because uganda is hard to tarry book it terrible history of managing elephants if you've got no treaty so there are two sides to this very question the government thinks it's doing the right thing and critics say not at this time. the critics say it will go the same way as its predecessor because the main problems that led to the demise of uganda twenty years ago still persist today what were those problems and do the critics have a point i think the main problem that has been highlighted by literally the

economy political activists is mismanagement and this it's this mismanagement that filters through to really affect the commercial viability of uganda elayne's they believe mismanagement has contributed a lot to corruption and this has led to recruitment of the wrong elements into the positions that would ideally take their vision take the airline into a commercially viable position and also political interference where they believe that some people in the airline might be appointed to a piece because of their political capito to the president to the states so i think this is not a really good today is. very much. five algerian billion as have appeared in course to face charges of corruption they include four brothers from the influential could mean a family as well as the country's richest man is saddam rebrov and he's the c.e.o. of saving

a large corporation news business interests range from agriculture to real estate earlier today algerian state t.v. reported that prosecutors had sent him to prison the detentions are part of an anti graft drive against figures close to the former president bill as is too difficult . to south africa now a country that recently made it onto a bloomberg ranking of the world's most miserable economies putting it in the company of nations like venezuela and the zimbabwe so what's behind all the gloom let's take a look at last year the south african economy expanded by only zero point eight percent but we grow three isn't the only problem more than one in four people are currently out of work one sector that has been specially badly hit is construction is suffering from a shortage of both public and private investment you just have to look at it at the group five construction firm to get an idea of how dire the situation is it recently filed for bankruptcy protection of the lenders pulled their funding and to

find out more about that and why the industry is struggling so much on now joined by philip de wet from business insider south africa philip a group five is one of the biggest construction companies in south africa and is fighting against insolvency what would it mean for the sector if it goes on the. if i dispatch the bass note of our construction companies and subsequent you could not drive down a major road without seeing one of its faults but some very prominent buildings sentence of the loss of faith in the construction industry is quite a blow to the reputation over all who find this also one of the base no international construction agencies doing quite a lot of work in the middle east and elsewhere in africa so for many ordinary south africans who may not have noticed the slow demise of the sector it really is a wake up call t. to the police state that the sector is now all of a sudden found itself in why is the industry in such a bad state and what does it mean for the south african economy if we look forward

ten years it's been somewhat of a perfect storm in the construction industry we've seen a great decline in government spending government of course be one of the major infrastructure spenders in south africa and a lot of that money has simply went all the way in pots due to the corruption scandals that we've seen the national spending has not been able to keep up because a lot of money is simply played away because struction industry was also very simply it's by very large fines for anticompetitive behavior where there was collusion among some of the surgeons and then the domestic economy as you mentioned simply is not growing we don't have the kind of private investment that could keep these firms afloat as a result we now have a large and contracted six to we don't have many large place still standing in the construction industry and it's not clear to us who will be building the major roads in the big dams when the economy does turn and when government spending returns and questions for the future that philippa that from south africa thank you very much.

importing trash from western economies for recycling or landfill has been good business in africa and all over asia not china's twenty four billion dollars worth of recycled materials imports were quarter of the total traded globally but a bit over a year ago china quite literally stop taking the world's trash out and put restrictions on imported rubbish now trash exporters can ship the problem overseas any more very easily australia's recycling industry for example as to tackle a growing rubbish crisis head on. australia has a stinky problem after depending on chinese infrastructure for over twenty years there's just too much rubbish to handle with spicing why stross is. we thought a solution the word of the time is circular economy and this business does just that up cycling old plastic and grinding it down to granular to build new asphalt

option that's a bottle of bullets an alternative to landfill is more expensive excessive waste is not just a mistrial in problem but a global issue more countries will need to move towards a circular economy to keep the earth sustainable for over seven and a half billion people. coming back to you know whether the british government has resumed cross posse talks today to find a consensus on britain's exit strategy from the e.u. brussels have agreed to an extension of this until the end of october but the u.k. can leave the bloc sooner if parliament in london and agree on a way. meanwhile britain's trading partners in the e.u. are grappling to any possible. the portion of rostered down is a major hub for trade between the u.k. and the rest of europe. authorities here have already spent some one point five million euros preparing for breakfast the dutch customs boss non-net fans shelvin
