a diamond of products products have forgiven the company but on the other side if you look at the image of the german companies overall was the wire card scandal was folks walking was very serious it was also a deutsche bank so overall i would say the image of quality companies from germany might have suffered a bit in the past couple of years. ok and stay with us we'll be back to you in a moment to talk about a nother story from the united states where just under a 1000000 people filed for unemployment last week and while it may be hard to believe that's actually the no with numbers since the coronavirus struck one factor that's likely to have contributed to the decline is the expiration of a $600.00 a week unemployment benefit at the end of july meanwhile lawmakers are still wrangling over a new stimulus package to help people and businesses recover from the worst effects of the pandemic. yes this is being celebrated as good news but tens of
