since stirrups across africa has risen sharply in recent years but new entrepreneurs are struggling to keep up with legal developments like data protection all that story and all whole lot more coming up in our business africa have declared our 1st and just the 2nd i'll be back at the top of the hour with the world headlines for now thank you for spending this part of your day with us. i'm secure in the. not hard and in the end is a me you're not allowed to stay here and more we will send you back. are you familiar with this. with the smugglers were alliances of the what's your story. 'd with numbers of women especially in victims of violence. take part and send us your story we are trying in all with to understand this new

culture. another visitor nothing yet you want to become citizens. into migrants your platform for reliable information. africa's take a landscape is changing incubators and stars of pubs are mushrooming across the continent but the growth has its pitfalls many founders are ignoring tricky legal issues. also out of burma those railway station to man remember better times when this style expressed was moving people and goods from mali to senegal on a daily basis plans to revive the traditional route have now been shelved. both

the old and the new africa today here on the w. business africa. starts with the new tech fever has well and truly taken hold across the continent last year alone the number of so-called tech hubs has grown by 50 percent according to recent research tech technology parts co-working spaces or university run said just 3 years ago there were only 340 of them across africa just have a look at numbers truly exploded kenya has been particularly a particular hotbed with 90 hubs established there that's ahead of the likes of egypt and south africa these hubs to supporting rise in internet companies across the continent providing a tech ecosystem that online shopping sites and payment systems need all of those enterprises that handles people's data of course and that brings with it legal

issues that many founders do not have on their radar kenya is the latest to react to that introducing a new data protection law just this month it's based on e.u. legislation that many startups are struggling to keep up with legal developments and one woman who wants to change that is linda kenney a lawyer founder of lawyers hop incubating legal take start ups. legal advice to the tech ecosystem in the welcome to the studio will this new data protection or make life more difficult for foreigners in terms of compliance it's going to make it a little difficult because they have to register as data processors if they have had for example handling data then if they have a controller for instance that's a kenya airways working with a start up in processing that they take means they have to be compliant as well and that makes that double compliance because if you're working in the e.u. then you still have to comply with g.d.p. as well so i think it complicates the issue too if you're planning on transferring

data from kenya there law is a boat that i introduce within the new data protection on transferring data across the border so i think the complaints will be double compliant and they need more advice as well we have requirements on hiring a data protection officer which is not compulsory but it's advisable so that means more costs on compliance so i think it will a little bit complicated place for them but it's possible within that right legal advice do you reckon to do founders of startups usually young people. very talented in the in the in the in the tech business do the generally underestimate the legal side of the business i think tech startups actually end is to make legal services only go for them when they in trouble that's when they realise eventually leads to leverage yeah but on the other hand glans a very expensive and we have to acknowledge that the legal profession is expensive for instance in kenya we have an order that indicates how much i should judge and it's not cheap and so i understand why they don't go for that but i would advice

that it's actually important to do it within the innovation hubs that we walk in in africa we are part of a free loves which is the network of innovation hubs in africa that now has 174 startups across 45 countries and so we are working out in seeing what are the legal priorities that start ups need can we offer them through the lending programs and we have seen a lot of you know change especially within the country in kenya for them to comply . what kind of special legal issues do tech startups face others or other issues that every other company faces as well i think they're usually issues but it's complicated by new and emerging technologies because a lot of the countries don't have the new legal framework for compliance and so just recently for instance in 2 d. used. and saw. 2 can play would have to grapple with what is the. understand what this means about. who's involved we have the me now hiring people

is not like it was a few years ago so startups are grappling with. just a given play how do we engage you and the usual intellectual property issues that if i want to do for example it's complicated it's expensive in africa and also in foreseeing intellectual property rights in africa is actually very very easy so i think these are some of the issues that need and when they get to be brought to sell their companies we have time sheets to go through that most of them to actually do not understand but. trying to fill in the continent. thank you very much thank you for the. different story what can be done with a set of priceless 18th century jewels stolen from one of germany's most iconic museums members honest in the city of dresden is said to be worth up to 1000000000 euros the thieves are on life is to try and cash in on the pieces any time soon because the collection of the royal house is far too well known once owned by the

18th century royal family these sets of diamond studded jewelry have been described as priceless they're part of one of the biggest and most unique jewelry collections in the world and now they're in the hands of criminals in just minutes they cleared a section of the display case in the green vault these pictures from the surveillance camera captured the thieves in action. exactly how many items were taken is still unknown but the jewels the river size and purity rarely seen on the market anyone trying to sell just one of them at auction could expect to be arrested immediately auction houses and dealers all over the world will be scrutinizing any standout pieces and their owners the pieces may get melted down to release the precious stones which would add insult to injury for those who were robbed. these ensembles have stayed together they have

significant cultural historical value there's nothing else like them in the whole world and the individual pieces in the materials are nothing in comparison to the significance of keeping the ensembles intact that's also on most of all the thoughts and. art market experts are now eager to see when and where the 1st stolen pieces turn up in circulation and whether or not they get recognized. autonomous driving that is self driving cars is coming it's just about off topic it's not clear yet who will win the race and what kind of technology will prevail companies all over the world are searching for the best and safest solutions. traffic in and around tell if he is chaotic to say the least. but self driving cars

could provide a solution. russian tech family and x. is testing it speckle and amongst the traffic has. the engine isn't driving the cars doing everything on its own we're going to stop here and above it shows us the reason why i would stop here it's like either pedestrians best thing or here is a traffic light could someone outside the cost seize control of the vehicle. the car is completely tautness all the calculations happen on board there in the trunk you can see a big p.c. which does all the calculations so you can attack the car from the outside because it's not connected to the outside world in an emergency the driver hits a button and takes over the controls israeli companies want to compete with russian and american rivals in autonomous jointing and israeli startup has its own ideas how other works with radar which isn't common in civilian applications but very common in the army many of the staff have experience in the israeli military just

like aircraft their vehicles use radio waves to recognize obstacles radar works in all weather and the system has very high resolution better picture quality means safer driving so when we when we are driving everything is approaching us so it becomes really everything there is green the stationary everything that is blue he's getting farther away and everything there is ready is approaching us. what looks simple is an. think about it because safety is paramount. the technology that is needed in order to solve the problem of autonomy's driving is like lending it's even more complicated than that so the challenge is big the level of safety that you need to bring is a very high this new territory requires a lot of trust in artificial intelligence and belief that both data on technology

and controllable. it was known as the sa express for decades the colonial era railway line between the car and bomber cole was a source of national pride to the people of both senegal and mali increasing use of roads so revenues ebb away until the route was closed just 18 months ago leaving more a sense of shame and of pride. brightly colored trains like this one but once the life blood of molly but now the carriages sit derelict at bamako station home only to spiders and the occasional peca. but music a turn and mother 90 enter between them clocked up more than 70 years working on the route to dhaka remember better times. were really on a monday like today train number 12 would depart there was always euphoria there was crying there were reunions and that's what we really miss. maneuver among

more than $400.00 people technically still employed by the duck up on the co-founder of yeah company they still turn up for work despite not being paid for 10 months trains have operated since may 28th teen when money to maintain the line ran out. i wonder aloud i read that before retiring all i wish for is to relive the same atmosphere that we used to have here the life of a railwayman as all of a. big part of that atmosphere moose are enjoyed was provided by the bamako station orchestra the cafeteria was the home of the famous rail band founded by mamadou sakho yoko who still remembers where each of the players sat. but if it was right here where the name band was given. now the music has long been silenced the most and are now waiting for something anything to happen the

governments of mali and senegal have both promised millions of dollars to get the trains moving again that would come as an immense relief to the workers of station in the next service is longer if it's you. that's all from me and the business being more go to a website that's d.w. dot com a slice of business. now wait for any my currency is good news africa for you that's up next right after this quick check on global markets at this hour thank you very much for watching this.
