city of largo has contacts in china investors there learned about the former military airfield the mayor says it has a lot of potential. to you if you look around the world as there aren't many people who are in a position to recognize these benefits and take action as well as provide the financing so sooner or later you're going to have to deal with china but the idea of the chinese taking over the airfield caused a stir in the city of $47000.00 after all flight operations have been kept going at least on a small scale thanks to a tunnel boring company had been cashed it likes things the way they are and it isn't alone in rejecting the new plan not to snooty if you law doesn't need it the airports doing well it is a good solution with and connect and other companies on boat we can keep going the way we often now and take half time to see if there are opportunities for

investments in this tool and the british and australian companies already have big plans to connect with the world but they failed what a chinese solution be any better. they've been very bad experiences with chinese investors at other airports with had i think it's been the only what i need to say is han frankfurt han airport is not a remote region of western germany quite far from frankfurt for years it was a financial burden on the 2 german states that jointly owned it in 2017 china's h. and a group took it over the result. we have almost doubled our growth in freight and that's something we can be satisfied with but there's not much we can do about macroeconomic developments affliction and. translation global trade conflicts are causing cargo levels to fall again. a glance at the terminal suggests there's little chance of a revival for frankfurt han. passenger numbers have fallen by almost half over the past decade even so the airport is still an important employer in the region

leaving people there dependent on the chinese back and lower the airfield has also created numerous jobs but they have nothing to do with air traffic instead it's thanks to companies that have located on the former military base it's being described as the netherlands worst ever traffic jam on tuesday a protest by dutch farmers blocked hundreds of kilometers of road they feel that as the next of the netherlands tries to be greener they are taking the biggest hit. the farmers got up early to give the rest of the netherlands a rude awakening they set off on a tractor trip to the hague to demand a fair deal. we may look for the netherlands as a world leader in animal welfare low emissions minimal use of pesticides no other country does that better than us but we don't get the respect to 17000000 dutch inhabitants nor the dutch government so that's why we're leaving for the hague now
