complaints from other road users. the envy of the world that's what donald trump is calling the u.s. the after a record breaking jobs report not his all expectations but should he actually take credit for it. also on the show an effort between thirty two countries to find a common way to navigate the brave new world of superfast by dream network technology and as ever as a u.s. search of exclude china's well way. and it's getting crowded in kingsland day fans of the hit t.v. series game of thrones are flocking to croatia to visit some of the shooting locations but many locals feel overwhelmed by the not found tourism. welcome to the business imes an album

a lot and in berlin thank you very much for joining us we start in the u.s. where the labor market is booming well over a quarter of a million jobs were added last month continuing a long streak of employment creation unemployment has fallen to its lowest level in close to fifty years and the world's largest economy is on track for the longest expansion in history. it's a good time to be looking for work in america for almost four years now the u.s. economy has seen its job count increase every month the boom shows little sign of ending anytime soon according to the latest figures from the u.s. department of labor the u.s. unemployment rate has fallen to three point six percent the lowest since december nine hundred sixty nine since the end of the financial crisis unemployment has fallen steadily every year from a high of nine point nine percent in april twenty ten to the current historically

low. although the u.s. economy had entered a prolonged period of job creation and growth long before he came to office in twenty sixteen president donald trump has been quick to take the credit analysts were staying focused on the economic slow suggesting the data shows the u.s. economy is not losing momentum our financial correspondent joins us now from new york hi and now do these numbers definitively mean that the earlier concerns over the u.s. economy's health were unfounded well at this point it clearly seems that we do not have to be concerned about recession any time soon a pretty healthy job numbers that we've got that does not necessarily mean that everything is picture perfect but those fears that spooked the markets especially. briefly before christmas that there might be a recession at the horizon seem to be overblown at this point and interestingly

enough still the federal reserve sees no reason at all to increase interest rates for wall street that's almost an ideal environment but how much does this core growth have to do with trump's tax cuts and moves to deregulate well i mean the tax cuts first of all they're going to phase out at some point and what we've seen in the past is yes lower taxes have been good for profits for u.s. corporations but the companies have not necessarily invested more they used to those tax cuts to buy back stock good to increase their dividend a lot of the money has not been invested men also is the regulation i do not believe that those are the key factors that we see this healthy job market and as referred to earlier this trend already started about ten years ago thank you young

quarter there on wall street for us. cybersecurity officials from around the world are meeting in prague and they announced a series of proposals to guide the global build out of five g. networks they include a policy of respecting national sovereignty in setting security requirements the conference took place amid a washington led push to ban chinese tech supplier while away from the building of these networks and to convince allies to do the same. the prague agreement might not mention huawei but the us representative at the two day conference on five g. made clear who the allies should or should not trust we hope that like minded governments will avoid committing to any one system or vendor until they're able to properly use that and compare available technologies and fully assess risks across the lifecycle of side g. networks installation and operation steinmetz com and so clearly targeted to twelve way who is hardware is already banned in the u.s. for months the u.s.

government has been trying to convince other governments to follow suit and exclude the chinese telecoms equipment maker to the company is the global leader in its field and is said to have the best technology but some accuse the firm of being too close to beijing and enabling the chinese government to spy on countries working with well we hardware so far. remains optimistic about their global perspective. so far we've shipped more than forty thousand five hundred base stations around the world in china korea across europe in the middle east. and we've signed more than thirty commercial five hundred contracts so far twenty one thousand we see is the year of five g.'s when five hundred people. there's a journey ahead but the early signs are very encouraging several european countries are set to auction five g. licenses this year their main decision is whether to follow washington's lead or to

trust huawei and anger the us government joining us now is helena humphrey our washington correspondent helena it's great to see you why has the us been intervening and who gets to build which part of other countries five hundred networks. two overarching reasons for you genelle and essentially we do have to acknowledge that the trumpet administration has been extremely hawkish on china in terms of its economic power or influence and reach that's one reason secondly of course that allegation from washington d.c. that hardware made by huawei will be used to spy on sensitive information now the argument from washington d.c. is it can ban the hardware being used at government agencies here and indeed it has done her for example when it comes to liaising with allies such as britain for example the connection may not then be secure with london for example in classified

information which would be transmitted if for example the u.k. used that hardware from quote way a threat to intelligence sharing then but how effective has the u.s. been in its wake up in. i would say it's faltering at the moment janiero even allies haven't necessarily got on board with washington d.c. the u.s. saying that it may stop sharing intelligence but of course that could backfire as well if you look at the european union for example the commission has left it up to individual member states at this site at this moment to decide how they go about pursuing potentially working with huawei just recommending that they conduct risk assessment instead and for example if you take a look at germany this is a country which would be reluctant to cut its nose to spite its face when it's lacking on other digital infrastructure always to learn the game that helena home free in washington there for us thank you very much. over

a has been hit with a class action lawsuit in australia shortly before the ride sharing firm's much awaited initial public offering a taxi driver say knowingly broke australian law to gain a competitive edge they're demanding compensation for lost income the lawsuit is yet another reminder of the regulatory battles ahead of its upcoming i.p.o. . shame shame shame a famous line from one of the most iconic scenes in t.v.'s game of thrones it was shot in croatia in the heart of the old town it's open for any found to see up close and to be able to walk in the footsteps of famous characters the problem is too many of them seem to be doing just that and the city is having trouble coping. with. tourists visiting to broad neck enjoy acting out the scenes of the popular us series game of thrones at the spots where they were actually shot

tourguide mario surf take some to the film locations the tour cost twenty euros per person he now has three employees so business is booming last year one point two million people visited dubrovnik. it's not just the u two is the newest star wars you've. heard of includes the newest one fear even called it would seem here we did biggest star should come on here or that helps a lot. every morning tourists converge on the old town. during high season around eighteen to twenty thousand people walk through its narrow streets each day of course not all are game of thrones fans but the fantasy series is especially popular with younger tourists. the city council has discussed limiting the throng of visitors even many of them think that's

a good idea. sometimes yeah i'm so going to do that because i always if there's too many people you can get and you know in their lives. to leave for new gun during the entire old town has adjusted to mass tourism. the cityscape is dominated by souvenir shops hotels and restaurants clean esko world heritage site is a bonanza for the croatian tourism industry. too much people sometimes mostly believe that it was. i don't know about the limitations of. the surf is also critical of the mass tourism. as dubrovnik reaches its limits he suggests stepping up efforts to rein in the chaos.

we just need to organize that's a first step each day just to cruise ships are allowed to dock in the port of dubrovnik but that's unlikely to do much to limit the crush of visitors in the long term the tourist season has just begun. and that's it for me and the business team and berlin for more business news in future as you can always visit. business thank you so much for watching.
