a total of $3000000000.00 euros went on charges write downs and costs relating to the restructuring and severance pay for those job cuts tax effects related to the restructuring shaved a further 2800000000 off the bottom line nonetheless off the back of savings announcement shares in the bank going slightly topping the dax index of blue chip shares in frankfurt in an interview with. the dutch bank saving alpha correspondent chelsea delaney asked if he's satisfied with developments. well in in the core businesses and these are those businesses where we are not only irrelevant but leading and which are the future cornerstones of torture bank we have done good progress and in all business divisions of course we are suffering from the low interest rate environment in particular in europe but therefore we have grown parts whether it's on the loan side whether it's in the investment funds whether it's in the debt capital markets we were very successful

and hence i would say from an operational point of view from an operating performance point of view we see the growth we have seen the momentum in particular after we announce the restructuring and hence we are satisfied with the development . some people have said this restructuring is sort of a trench but banks global ambitions do you see it as that no i don't i think this restructuring was to focus on that what we can do best and where we are leading and you have seen that with the restructuring we haven't closed down one international country we are a global bank we are relevant and we are active in more than 60 countries directly we stated that we are committed to that and our clients want a global bank out of germany can join and support them and hence it is not at all a retrenchment if you see the revenues coming from international versus germany there is no deterioration or decline so we remain committed to the world. you

mentioned several times of a growth in asia do you see any impact from the spreading coronavirus in a potential slowdown in the asian economy i think it's too early to judge of course we are monitoring that closely we in particular also monitor the situation for our employees in that region but i would also warn to be you know kind of too pessimistic what can happen with the economy i think the chinese economy is a very strong one yes we are monitoring for the time being we have no impact but rest assured that we stay close to that. the dutch bank c.e.o. there officials have extended talks in washington to settle a dispute over ethiopia's grande venice all stand because she is for ethiopia egypt and sudan deadlocked over the fine print of a deal to regulate the $4000000000.00 project that's according to the b.b.c. ethiopia is building the dam to generate electricity but neighbors are wired their

water supplies will be cut short. internet shutdowns in africa are on the increase most are intentional by governments to suppress on resto prevent the free flow of information those governments pay a high price when they shut down the net and social media in 2019 internet shutdowns in sub-saharan africa cost a total of choose point $2000000000.00 those targeted shutdowns by several countries taste that lasted almost $8000.00 a quarter of all internet disruptions worldwide the economic impact of shutdowns is considerable sedan is far ahead of the pack with shutdowns across the east african nation of $1600000000.00 followed by chad with $65000000.00 and a d c ethiopia and zimbabwe it had shut down so just damage local economies of course and companies they also stop international firms from doing business there let's

bring in julio wardo she's executive director of internet without borders thouse this affecting the development of the tech and start ups for example because they're very reliant on the internet i mean they can't do business without the ne. absolutely and one very good example to show the impact on the development of a net economy and so what happened in cameroon 3 years ago now when in 2017 the government decided to shut down the internet into specific regions of the country where english is spoken and these regions have been to host what is now known as the silicon mountain and so it's sort of replication of the city come valley but you can room and sit during internet sit down in cameroon many companies had to stop functioning couldn't function anymore it basically kilt a burgeoning tech economy tech ecosystems which is still as we are speaking

a recovering from that period so it's really a paradoxical that governments in africa are at the same time i was ok taking for a digital revolution are also advocating for a digital digital is a share of our economy can political lives but at the same time they are cutting the they grow material which is here connectivity doesn't absolutely doesn't make any sense that what about the effect on democracy because that's one thing investors look for when besting in certain countries the out politically stable data. well some governments are arguing that they're using internet shutdowns to preserve stability because we have to remember that justification isn't a given by governments it's either nationals to print their national security for instance against the spread of this information or it can state the spread of state speech so it's an argument that they're using to justify it's debilitating out that

society but what we're saying is it's doesn't work it's absolutely country protective international downs have never stopped the spread of hate speech and just information when it stops the spread of hiv it's from a ship is working with for instance platforms and civil society organizations to understand there are groups at the problem but in addition to not even solving this problem they are indeed causing economy she huge economy problems that are going to impact these societies on the on the short and long term so it's it's absolutely inefficient but the problem is that the more also we are arguing the kind of make you know impact the more these countries are getting stuff just to cait it in order to be able to shut down without affecting cunny and that's very worrying to the one of the executive director of the internet without borders thank you very much and nice thing business with you rick.
