months but we're still on a pretty elevated level and the retail federation expects that sales for the holiday season will increase by about 4 percent and we got some evidence for that from electronic best buy on q stay there. company it came out was the earnings were better than expected the outlook looks pretty good to invent. again about 10 percent on tuesday alone and that stock has also. christmas off last year by a good 50 per cent so overall the american consumer seem to show up no matter what the figures self confidence are telling us and of course best buy a stock that was considered dead long long ago all right there for us in new york thank you very much. and let's take a look now at some of the other global business stories making news folks wagon has defended its production facility and she province after leaked government documents

shed light on chinese detention camps holding over a 1000000 and other muslim minorities in the region carmaker said it hopes to contribute to the reasons development was closely monitoring the situation there on sunday global media outlets released numerous documents exposing poor conditions in the camps. german carmaker audi plans to slash 9 and a half 1000 jobs in germany over the next 5 years it's part of a massive restructuring plan that's meant to save billions over the coming decade the cuts will take place through an early retirement program audi said it would continue hiring however in areas like a lecture mobility and digitize asian. german economists are expecting a strong holiday season and its monthly consumer climate index german market research group g f k predicted an increase in consumer confidence of just over one percent for december but the christmas uptick only goes half way to correcting last month's retail slump. now imagine you've stolen

a priceless set of royal jewels how do you go about converting it into cash that's the question facing investigators in dresden after monday's heist of 18th century jewels from one of germany's most iconic museums the items are said to be worth up to 1000000000 euros but they won't be easy to cash. who made off with the priceless catch of jews from the green vault museum in dresden the treasure is a tremendous source of pride and the bold 35 has left many locals speechless a moment. it's hard to believe thieves could crawl through such a tiny hole i'm devastated that. the green vultures one of the oldest museums in europe and or forty's believe up to 100 items could have been stolen the museum says the jewels are priceless thieves broken before dawn on monday closed circuit security footage shows 2 men in

a brutal smash and grab attack experts fear the culprits or cash in the booty the very sad reality is that such criminal acts are connected to money laundering to trading arms etc aren't experts asserting that unloading the treasure will be difficult that's why some hope the museum some at least be able to buy them back by paying a ransom the best possible outcome would be if the jewels that have been stolen would be offered to the director of the museum by a call and the worst outcome would be if the drugs melted and taken out of their setting. at this point there remain many more questions than answers surrounding the spectacular robbery but already some german media are calling it the biggest their 1st since world war 2. now the race to autonomous driving

is in full gear but it's still unclear who will win and what kind of technology will prevail our reporter took a look at the competition in one city tel aviv. traffic in and around tell if he is chaotic to say the least. but self driving cars could provide a solution. russian tech firm is testing it spackle in amongst the traffic has. the engine isn't driving the cars doing everything on its side we're going to stop here but it shows us the reason why would stop here it's like either pedestrians best thing or here is the traffic why. should someone outside the car seize control of the vehicle. the car is completely tautness all the calculations happen on board they're 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 recognise obstacles radio works in all weather and the system has very high resolution better picture quality means safer driving so when you're when you're driving everything is approaching so it becomes really everything there is green is stationary everything's good. he's getting farther away and everything that he's ready is approaching. what looks simple is anything about it because safety is paramount to their technology that is needed he know that to solve the problem of autonomy is driving is like landing on

the moon it's even more complicated than that so the challenge is big a 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 controllable. it was known as the hell express for decades the colonial era railway line between dakar and bomb a co was a source of national pride to the people of both senegal and mali but growing road traffic saul revenues away until the route was closed 18 months ago now longing has replaced that pride. brightly colored trains like this one but once the life loads 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 people technically still employed by the dakar bomb a co-founder of yeah company they still turn up for work despite not being paid for 10 months new trains have operated since may 28th seen when money to maintain the line ran out. i wonder aloud out with 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 heaven know what love really should be. 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 backer yoko he

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 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 the station but in the next service is longer if you. let's it for me in a d w business team i'm stephen there's a blurred thanks for watching. ico
