facebook account they lifting all the photos. changing the profile page and changing the name. they've become so common nowadays when i look up my facebook oh my gosh i could i reckon recognize how is that hong kong's economy has suffered from the crises tourism and retail are affected most but also the financial industry that connects chinese and international businesses employees of the industry have been active in the protests some have found that the union and support of the movement nathan lung one of the founders has since been put on paid leave. this is they have a precious. freedom of speech freedom of assembly freedom to form a union so it's not my. business anymore that's all that work has. in hong kong. his company. contractor of the bank h.s.b.c. denies any link because political activities but fear compounds business sector is

real. i wonder because see these new premises of her former lawyer many colleagues stop to encourage her none of them want their face. i haven't been crying that hard even for myself so you can see my terminations but it was them when i received the message that. really tries so hard. in a sign of solidarity she was reluctant chairperson of her union just days after her time in nation. many had expected a ban on single use plastics to take effect in india today but the indian government now says that's not the case an announcement by prime minister narendra modi last month was widely interpreted as meaning things like plastic cups the strongest would be outlawed but no such badge effect today many indian media

outlets reported that the government was holding off on the idea. it's go. on studios what's going on. well there's confusion then to say the least what is clear is that there will be no a ban on single use plastics that's clear was there a proposal in this regard that's not because the state media says that there was never such a proposal to ban single used plastic products nationwide but it was widely reported that the government was considering to announce a ban on single use plastics on 2nd of october that is the but and it was city of 4 mahatma gandhi the father of the nation in india so that was the idea but after all it's not going to happen because the media reports suggest that there was concern among the industrious they felt that the consumer goods companies would be civilly hit and this would be good especially had it done the economy's not doing

particularly well i'm writing a board tom or wouldn't come in until 2022 but what is the government's plan and obviously it's all on clear. well the plan for now is to sense it does the people sort of start a mosque movement of sorts where people themselves shun plastic and they move towards more sustainable living and and also the idea is to enforce the states to enforce whatever existing the distinctions on plastic are at this point of time. on thank you. a group of leading think tanks have cut their growth forecasts for germany the economy contracted in the 2nd quarter and is expected to have shrunk further in the 3rd quarter that would put it in a technical recession if my constituents have one of warning for chancellor angela merkel when it comes to her determination to balance the budget they say saving

into a downturn only exacerbates the problem. the causes may be up for it to base but the message is clear europe's biggest economy is slowing down germany's top 5 economic research institutes have now joined the government in causing this year's growth forecast they now expect the economy to expand by just 0.5 percent in 2019 down from their original prediction of 0.8. homegrown problems include a car industry that's been overshadowed by the diesel emissions scandal and a failure to keep pace with digital transformation further afield the trade dispute between china and the united states is also costing a long shadow. is the chaos surrounding britain's intended departure from the european union at the end of this month and. a disorderly brics it would have

considerable consequences for the german economy our simulation showed that if brics it were disordered growth in germany in the coming year would be 0.4 percentage points lower with a further 0.3 percentage points drop the following year. on the other hand if relations with the u.k. are clarified quickly economic development could be more positive with the german economy facing any basket of challenges the government's under increasing pressure to boost growth by spending more now would be a turning point in fiscal policy for years the government has done all it can to avoid taking on new debt. i want to talk to our financial correspondent in frankfurt about this chelsea to lady chelsea should the rest of the well be worried about germany's approach to running europe's economic engine the rest of the world definitely is worried and you know germany has gotten this criticism per several years now about you know needing to spend more and more to invest more and it's really come to a head just because of the slowdown that germany is definitely seeing now so we're

seeing not only businesses here not only economists but also you see the president mario draghi the i.m.f. everyone is sort of really calling on germany to get in front of the slowdown that it's seeing and you also have to consider the central role that germany plays in the economy here so if all of a sudden germany is really decelerating that's going to impact not only people here and businesses here it's also going to impact all european companies. if the government doesn't want to spend its way out of the recession what is its strategy . so your. german politicians are basically saying at this point you know we we have a strategy we're just not ready to use that we're not at the point where we need to be deploying you know a large stimulus package so finance minister has said you know 50000000000 euro is that my disposal but this is not the point to be using it so if you look at sort of

the budget that germany has put out for for next year there are some sort of piecemeal stimulus measures things like cutting the solidarity surcharge. more investment on r. and d. but what businesses are saying what economists are saying is that they need more you know they need they need to cut taxes for companies and they need to cut taxes for consumers and invest more and digital infrastructure and things like that to really combat the slow down so he delayed germany's balanced budget and slowing growth. a successful strategy in fighting drug trafficking is to track down money laundering but you've got to have a nose for that that's why french police are training their canine pets on the communist island of cuba to sniff out the cash. the police dog she's excited about her new mission she's learning to identify the smell of money and to seek it out wherever it may be hidden because of her enthusiasm

trainers have a way to keep her mind on the job. a 2nd beat them well becomes in game because they don't go looking for the toy when she finds it and then gets a reward when her own are placed with her it's like an exchange she thinks i help my own to find something like you i contribute in the end i get rewarded tell you when your freedom. to train is tied to the euro banknotes in a range of different locations to test the dogs sniffing capabilities. the program is part of a cooperation between france cuba and a number of other caribbean islands. among the most promising recruits this arrived from france this trio sniper search and sniffer the plan is for them to breed in cuba it's hoped that a bigger canine force will help or thora these take a large bite out of organized crime on the island whether that's related to drugs

well money laundering. because of. the smell was it for example 5 euro banknote smell much stronger than $500.00 euro banknotes and you put the dogs must be able to buy them all. to you to show you suck you off. once the dogs have mastered your race they'll learn how to identify us and canadian dollars to whatever the currency these dogs know how to sniff out a report. gotta love a good dog story much better than a viral to. video mustering business with the phone.
