$9400000000.00 news that will please the retailers but probably not the pope. so the delay in frankfurt impressive figures they have a have we have we reached peak black friday. i think that that's definitely true over the past couple of years the sort of the mania surrounding black friday where as a kid growing up that you would sort of go directly to. to best buy after after thanksgiving dinner and things like that so that's definitely died down as people have been shifting more towards online sales this year cyber monday is expected to be about $2000000000.00 more in terms of sales so there definitely has been sort of a switch and which holiday is bringing in more and i think their companies have really there's been a difference on how little well they've reacted to this so that companies like amazon this is been a really big moneymaker some of the other big box stores like target have sort of

spending but for a lot of companies a lot of retailers this is going to be a really important holiday a holiday season this is what really what they count on to bring them back into the black heading into the end of year so i think it's going to be really important to watch how this really impacts. joseph science with thank you. 15000 trucks is paralyzed last week as follows said enough is enough farmers of france have also take to the streets in recent weeks and protest against what they say is excessive environmental and. regulation city dwellers who have no idea about the realities of on the farms to dream up new rules and end up having to pave to build new infrastructure to keep up with the ever changing laws many family run businesses are facing bankruptcy. meets philip collison a 29 year old dairy farmer in the northern state of hunnish stein in germany his
