percent by close of trading it was still 1.4 percent down and the mood on the streets of tokyo. i know i'm surprised he looked really tired but i didn't think he would resign i wish he could work out or and stay on in office a bit longer. i've been wanting him to resign for a long time that. he is a controversial figure in japan partly because of his emphasis on his public image in 2012 he introduced an ambitious economic program naming it unabashedly after himself christian fundamentalist sort of what we've been all makes i will increase jobs and revitalize the countryside while making citizens' livelihoods better. other nomics was about easing monetary policy the japanese central bank cranked up the money press flooding the market with fresh new notes they were also credit financed economic stimulus packages initially the program did increase confidence

both in the economy and among the japanese population but the risks of average nomics soon became clear the program over leveraged the economy to the point of sovereign bankruptcy and led to a loss of confidence on capital markets and already struggling japanese economy was then hit with the effects of the coronavirus with abby out of the picture it's up to someone else to pull japan out of the mess. so what's the final verdict on alba nomics professor geoffrey kingston as head of asian studies at temple university japan he told the business earlier today that the approach some more failures than successes i think he was good in terms of the promote he treats trade deal with the he he also rescued the t.p. but what didn't work he never delivered odd structural rates which were the 3rd

era about a nomics were supposed to improve productivity he never delivered a woman up he said he was going to help women shy but that hasn't happened. all right geoffrey kingston there temple university japan over to africa or south african president cyril rather pose a has announced the probe into possible fraud involving the country's coronavirus relief funds reports the politically connected companies to comb much of the money has driven public anger lately and south africa's misfiring economy is not helping . but it rising public anger over reports of large scale plundering of the government's $26000000000.00 coronavirus rescue package south africa's ruling a.n.c. party has called a meeting of its national executive committee to probe corruption within its ranks . i have authorized the special investigating unit. to probe any allegations relating to the misuse of

agencies to prevent detect investigate and to prosecute corporate related corruption. the government temporary employer employee relief scheme which was to provide juggler south africans with emergency monthly payments had already come under heavy scrutiny and had been reports of billions of rounds going to bogus companies created to receive payments on behalf of fictitious workers. over to uganda now where the government there has plans for its coronavirus coronavirus relief funding namely building up a local domestic manufacturing base can you garden companies really compete with china which has a significant advantage in the country outside uganda's capital campolo these women and men have a taste deadline to produce half a 1000000 fists musts within 8 weeks they team leader at this government facility once to demonstrate that ugandans can make products that were previously imported.

to the hardware store and you can't find a single i think that is. even a ball. and on thing isn't a quote from the roof of a group things like. what is there in the persisting question. to end up in what the public. when moved to. uganda wants to reduce dependence on imports. this electric bus for instance is made by a ugandan company this state has fully funded it as a way of showing how the country's resources can be used instead of simply being exported as raw materials minium that is part of this fuss and if you just hear the bump on the floor this steel which is the biggest component on this bus we have an

o. and is an outside contracting that and localizing the supply chain that fuels production in manufacturing less t.-a uganda spent more than $880000000.00 on importing goods from china alone research as see that uganda can keep that if locals produce the goods however the local economy could still lose out if the factories at home owned by the chinese who can rip profits some also argue that because china relies on africa's raw materials and its market it might not be ready to lose its to the local. whatever china wants too much of it they come and get here they pick it and grow much are they going process and they bring it back now you're telling them that you know you guys we are going to we want to start our own business entirely what you told them is please get out of here and you do things about so you break

them. but that does not seem to deter professor from training up ugandans he's hope is that embracing technology will improve uganda's chances of becoming more self-reliant. ok and over to india now where it's no fish tail or resort in india need a new source of revenue once the guest shot away during the penn demick they look no further than a swimming pool. carolynn sunshine is what normally attracts people from around the world to the evader resort but this year the pool isn't full of european tourists it's full of fish they've been helping the hotel to survive since the collapse of global travel back in march there was not. very 24th of march there was a log on this we came up on the idea of fish farming because having one of the

biggest swimming pools in this region. splashing about in the 7000000 liters of water a 16000 spot fish there are popular food in southern india and the middle east the resort owners are hoping to make enough money from them to cover their bills during the closure. the fish will be sold in november hopefully to be replaced in the pool by humans it will take us only a month's time to reset the pull back to conditions so we plan to open the resort back by. december january. when the staff can go back to feeding hungry tourists instead. well we've been reporting on social media sensation tech talk and its recent troubles a bear in india threaten bad and for sale in the u.s. elsewhere in the world the app is doing better and seeing incredible growth but is it enough is a report from southeast asia. 1000 year old sandys of putra is kind of
