learning the language and not often this gets me and quit the bunch maybe 2 in truck loads of say you want to know their story in the mud spur fighting and reliable information for margaret. the software is to blame indonesian investigators say the faulty programming at boeing was the main cause of crashes in ethiopia and indonesia but shoddy maintenance and fruit training also played a role. and only 40 percent of people in africa have internet access and those who do pay more than on any other continent. also on the show back in court the add to the samsung electronics is corruption case is up for review.

this is business africa on the shelf is welcome to plane crashes in indonesia and ethiopia shocked the world and sent the shares a plane manufacturer of boeing into a tailspin accident investigators in jakarta have now concluded it was a combination of design flaws in boeing's 737 jet inadequate training and maintenance problems that led to the line that crash a year ago when 189 people lost their lives if one of those failures happened to cut the accident may have been avoided one of the investigators said. the lion air boeing 737 max plunged into the java sea only 13 minutes after taking off in jakarta. now indonesian air accident investigators have found that a critical sense of providing data to the m cast like control system was wrongly calibrated during a repair they also cited strong evidence that it wasn't tested during installation

by a lion air engineering staff fed with false data the empty store system pushed the plane's nose down leaving pilots fighting a losing battle to maintain control over their training nor the aircraft manual included information about m cas. investigators also addressed cockpit procedures. boeing has issued a statement saying it is working to address all the report's recommendations to prevent similar flight control problems from recurring all 737 max 8 jets are grounded worldwide boeing is under intense pressure to explain all the problems

associated with the flight control system that played the key role in the lion air crash and one in ethiopia 5 months later. once a year the alliance for affordable internet which includes google and facebook surveys how expensive internet access is around the world this time it looked at $136.00 low and middle income countries and it found that only 40 percent of people in africa even have internet access and those who do pay more than on any other continent but some african countries have made significant improvements to web access cameroon for example jumped $6.00 places in the alliances listing mail mali jumped 5 and tanzania moved up a respectable 3 positions the alliance touts a simple remedy to the situation competition it says one gigabyte of mobile data volume in a market with only one provider is expensive when

a competitor moves in prices tumble by as much as $7.00 per gigabyte now let's bring in our correspondent joy during a bear are from nairobi joy does the cost really tally with the internet speeds in africa. it depends on the country even if you're looking at but generally internet is expensive in africa but for countries like kenya where internet ease as fast as $36.00 m. b.b.'s the 2nd or maybe a baseball 2nd you can actually say yes the cost desk tell you to speed but if you look at a country like chad you would actually say that is not the case because added to the we still have countries in africa that are using 2 g. internet and some are still using 3 g. internet while the rest of the world has moved to 4 g. and 5 g. internet and so you could actually say the price would depend on the country

whether or not the speeds tell you the cost and $1.00 of the other challenges that most african countries are facing today is the fact that the fiber optic cable is limited and it would cost about 15000 $1.00 to $20000.00 to connect fiber optic or to get fiber optic into some of the african countries so there is a challenge that. joy if internet access was cheaper across the board and across the continent what would that mean for the continent economically. it would mean immense growth and immense growth in terms of sevis delivery because one of the biggest challenges rehab in the african continent is the fact that 7 says do not get to the population and when we have no internet connection it means that there would be more digitization old government service says we should one of the other big setbacks for development on the continent and it would also mean that it would

activate internet enabled services and we're not just talking about government you know services returning about the private sector and having to access health through internet access because it would be seem today's innovation is being boosted as well by the internet where people in rural parts of africa are out says in health services using the internet so we can actually talk about immense development growth and the digital economy in kenya today is nearly contributing to about 20 percent of gross domestic product and the more we have internet services the more we are seeing growth in various sectors like manufacturing like every culture is well which is supporting the software that is into the internet a lot and therefore making services more easy to access to order in barrow in nairobi thank you now you could be forgiven to think that in

a highly industrialized nation like germany high speed internet access is everywhere and cheap sadly that's not the case germany's internet infrastructure is not torrijos least slow and outdated a result of years of neglect by various governments and service providers especially in remote areas away from the big cities the situation is dire and that is costing many german as emmie's money in many boardrooms patience is running things. the video conference is interrupted at an i.t. company of all places. with a sluggish irregular internet connection is something many in rural areas still have to contend with the swabian ops and sells western germany is home to many market leaders and just one of many regions where the country's network simply isn't up to scratch. and we have clients all around the country and

it's really clear that there are similar white spots throughout germany so we have to make sure that this infrastructure weakness doesn't end up damaging economic help put your mind in fossil. telecoms companies decide where and when fiber optic cables are extended and apparently that's not a worthwhile investment in many areas as well as companies households are also affected even in cities like stood guard. this is what happens here when you want to watch the news online you know. the path your connection is something that pfister family finds very trying. this was real and it's frustrating when we have people to stay and they can't believe that we have such a situation here and start got the state capital. the government views 50 megabits per 2nd as a fast connection meanwhile the pfister is have a speed of under 5 megabits emails with attachments struggle to arrive at the other

end media of history is a freelance communications consultant he says the situation is unacceptable especially as there is no improvement in sight you shadows for this city suggestion was that we clubbed together with neighbors and paid to have a fiber optic network fed it which is absurd because as residents we don't have to lay our own water pipes or power cables and the government says we have a right to fast internet service. back in the mountains the i.t. company says the problem has made it consider moving away but for now it's coping by using cables with the speed of 250 megabits per 2nd. that's fast but the company could easily use a 1000. hosting plans for ending it feels like the brakes are being put on us taken especially because the technology

is already there. and it's up to the politicians to get the situation sorted out in equal missed so that the patchiness can give way to a properly smooth service sooner rather than later. now to some of the other business stories making headlines today amazon shares tumbled after profits fell short of expectations quarterly earnings dropped to about $2000000000.00 the online retailer blames the high price of same day delivery of packages and warehouses to customers shipping costs soared by 46 percent. twitter shares fell almost 20 percent on thursday after the company also posted disappointing 3rd quarter results revenue came in at $824000000.00 fall less than what. they did their messaging platform blamed the box it covered discovered a limited ability to target appetite. germany's business confidence

7 concerns about the future of both samsung and the country as a whole samsung is a multinational mega-corporation basting almost half a 1000000 employees its most famous for producing smart phones laptops and televisions. but it also builds ships office life insurance property and even medical care the company is responsible for around a 5th of south korea's economic output so when samsung sneezes south korea catches a cold. 6 and that's it for me in the business thank you very much.
