verse 3 of his historic space flight. you're watching the daily news still to come. more than house a 1000000 vacationers across the globe are left stranded after travel firm thomas cook collapses abruptly over the company grounded holidays are turning into nightmares for turns left a tryst that story and a whole lot more coming up close to where good shelter vowing and business news right after a short break i'll see you again tomorrow same time same place. welcome to the book is the good for a decent. place to talk about something. that's ok. so you. know.

when your family scattered across the globe. it's a good system to listen to to. turn to the government on the be the charge finally from somalia move around the world to. me to the urgent assistance of. the family starts october on d w. in a closely watched decision in kenya central bank has kept its benchmark interest rate steady but indicated it may not stay that way i'll get some analysis from our correspondent in nairobi. also on the show the world's oldest travel company collapses b.n. to thomas cooks tells trouble. for holiday makers are around the world. and he has

a concrete proposal to cut back on c o 2 used to solve a deal it's that engineers at the university of lagos in nigeria figure out how to target the root product and that's polluting. this is the the way of business i'm joined now the milan in berlin welcome kenya's central bank has signaled it may start cutting interest rates in the coming months but for now the bank's monetary policy committee decided to keep the benchmark rate unchanged at 9 percent it's the 7th time in a row that the figure has been kept on who the bank expects inflation and kenya to remain within its target range despite concerns that a drought could cause shortages. for more let's cross over to our correspondent joy biro in nairobi hi joy basically the bank has signaled they're prepared to cut rates soon as the government scales back spending when is that expected to go down and how. well i don't think there is really going to be

a change much from the current central bank region of a 9 percent we're likely to see this remain the same or remain unchanged and deal next year because what the central bank is trying to do is to step in lies the banking sector and so it is really not much that we are expecting to happen because as it is right now it's actually helping to stabilize the banking sector because previously it was actually quite difficult to step away as the banking sector when we had the central bank rate at higher percentages also until i think we see the parliamentarians coming out and saying that repealing you know the interest rate cap is when we are likely to see these central bank rate changing much but for now there is not really much that is expected the experts also are thinking the same financial experts are saying that likely not to see any changes and till next year

. so it doesn't seem that there were any surprises for you there but is there anything that they had a standout to in the announcement. not really but what actually can be talked about is the fact that the central bank did point out it concerned about the volatility in international markets because they've been observing the tension between the united states and china as well as the brics it debate going on and so because kenya is a diverse market and explodes a lot of its real produce these very markets it's quite a bit of a concern that should anything happen internationally or should anything affect the global international markets it's likely to have a ripple effect in kenya. and is there any particular way that kenya and policymakers are preparing for this market volatility.

what we're seeing from the statement center banks or want to repeal is the community seems confident that you know they will be prepared for whatever external shocks that might come up as a result of the tension between china and the united states and brags that say but you can't be sure because what we're seeing is how far its reserves in kenya at the moment according to the numbers that center about put out is at 5.7 months of import cover shoot these tensions between the united states and china as well as breck's it. is likely to affect exports of kenya and this is also likely to affect for its reserves and slow down economic growth and slow it down as well on remittances that come into the country jarad are in there and i wrote before thank you very much for your analysis. gabon is set to become the 1st african country to be paid to preserve its forests using
