robots in berlin welcome to the program. sub-saharan africa is set to record the slowest economic growth of any global region this year as it struggles to bounce back from a pandemic triggered downturn the international monetary fund says the region's economic region's economy is on track to expand by 3.4 percent and 2021 that's well below the global forecast of 5 and a half percent the i.m.f. is edging wealthy countries to do more to help african nations access vaccines and financing global health crisis and its economic fallout is thought to have plunged 32000000 people on the continent into extreme poverty last year. let's discuss this further with our correspondent joy during barrow who joins us from the kenyan capital nairobi there's have you on the program as ever just explain to us why the sub-saharan economy is lagging behind the rest of the

world well wrong 3.4 percent really quite slow but if you look at the fact is the biggest factor here is still up and down and because access to big scene is in sub-saharan africa is going to be slaughtered compared to the rest of the world and we're also seeing other factors at play as well previously before called aid every week sub-saharan africa was exporting much and as good as what about 6.5 $1000000000.00 and to the rest of the world but this seem cannot be said for exports to other countries in sub-saharan africa or what we might call in traffic a treat and so the fact that now african countries and i'm treating as much with the rest of the world is still going to affect its growth even as its genitals to pull through the post called it 19. the i.m.f.

is calling on wealthier nations to do more to help do african governments feel like they're getting enough support i think in addition to that they're. not getting enough support african countries as well and need to do more in terms of eliminating vices we need in sub-saharan african countries like for example corruption corruption he's eating into most of sub-saharan africa's countries budgets and this is one of the most difficult things for african countries to read all of it's all of themselves so say a very difficult thing to do and also encouraging wealthy nations to do more is proving a little bit tricky but are there any size the things are going to improve certainly things are going to improve but as you might know sub-saharan africa has an even growth. south africa like record growth of about 3 point one percent but if you

look at a country like china the i.m.f. says that it's likely to project about 7.6 percent growth in the year 2021 while countries like if you are these going to be a growth of about 0 point one percent so easily even across sub-saharan africa but what we can say is that some countries really grow faster then and there is according to what the economist economists are saying chartering there and nairobi thanks a lot for bringing as of today it. next diamond has unveiled its 1st fully electric luxury car as the battle for battery powered supremacy intensifies the most sadie's s. enters the market as traditional comic is strive to make up lost ground on tesla the new model has a range of 770 kilometers and fast charging capabilities but of course won't come

cheap with the price expected to start at around 100000 euros correspondent conrad booze and has been speaking to diamond boss. the e.q. this ushers in a new era for us and this one bowed to sign very spectacular very futuristic was an opportunity to in a way reinvent the invention and it goes by the logic form follows function we do it for efficiency reeson what markets are you targeting china the us europe germany this is really a car for the world we can see that the electric segment and the demand for better electric vehicles is developing a lot of momentum so traditionally the segment china is our biggest market that it will be important for china but in europe in north american and other markets around the world we also see very good opportunity for this vehicle to develop

china is also more advanced in expertise how important is it to have germany as a base for this kind of expertise. all the regions major regions of the world are picking up speed in terms of adoption of electrification especially in germany we had a phenomenal 2nd half of 2025 started with a bang we had our battery electric vehicles and also with plug in hybrids with long range this year. our core of our engineering organization is situated here in stuttgart and around stick but it is a team effort to around the world europe and germany have ambitions targets when it comes to c o 2 carbon dioxide reduction well we get where's dima. we're going to pick up speed and i think through technology we have a tremendous opportunity in the next decades to significantly lower the c o 2 burden on the planet. speaking to our correspondent current affairs now some of

the other global business stories making the news audi says it's cutting its output in china by 30 percent this month because of the global chip shortage that means producing 20000 fewer vehicles the semiconductor crisis has been plaguing comic us since last year forcing the temporary closure of some factories. germany's highest court has ruled that billions controversial rent controls are unlawful federal judges say the city's government had no legal power to introduce the legislation last year rents were frozen and kept many tenants the constitutional court ruling renders those changes no one void. the central bank has kept interest rates on hold in its 1st decision since president one sacked his 3rd bank chief in 2 years the turkish lira is wallowing its all time lows as the country's already ailing economy struggles with curfews unlocked

a. restaurant manager touches at his wit's end the lockdown forced him to shut his business with its 15 employees for months and now into ramadan as well because of rising coronavirus infection numbers to make matters worse inflation is running at a rate of 16 percent per month looks that we wanted to invest but we weren't able to we were too afraid we don't trust the economy because we don't know what will happen tomorrow because there is despair and insecurity. as a lot of turks have lost faith in their economy many are unemployed and can barely afford anything as a lier as value plummets shopkeepers and bakers are forced to constantly raise their prices flour and other ingredients are becoming more expensive by the day the pandemic has also kept tourists away which for many was their main source of income . my pockets are empty of course the prices affect me because we have no money

there's no economy there's no plan for improving the situation they say they have a plan but i don't see it. the economic situation has affected me i lost my job during the pandemic like so many people here i've been unemployed for about 4 to 5 months now there's a president rigid tie of ed i want has long promised to boost the economy and get inflation back under control but with that ambition looking rather hollow in march he replaced his 3rd central bank chief in just 2 years and we are determined to bring the rising inflation back to single digits we will succeed. north of those rooms but that wasn't the 1st time heir to one proclaims that and the situation still hasn't improved will his new central bank chief really be the game changer everyone hopes for. thousands of shopping restaurant owners are calling for a new approach to germany's pandemic policies many are spent months either closed

under tight restrictions some hope comes in the form of a new encrypted which simplifies the tracking and tracing for customers. for months most of an order one has only been allowed to sell food and drink to go on the alcohol free beverages are allowed to be consumed here immediately. and he's longing to at least open up his terrace to customers again or is it a word greatest which of course is to open up completely again with distancing with all the hygiene measures he's hoping a simplified track and trace system will make that possible until now his guests have to fill out a form in which they often get a false names on telephone numbers. that won't be possible with the new look which is being deployed in berlin to keep track of covert 19 infections a user registers with the which gives them an encrypted q.r. code use a scan that q.r. code when they enter a business which the business owner can't decode us from the. that's absolutely

brilliant that's exactly what we have to have. clear my guests are in the clear we're all taken care of if something comes up the health office knows about it immediately. or it can be followed up more easily it's great that. in the event a restaurant guest or shop customer test positive the person concerned transmits their checking data to the responsible public health office only its staff can decipher the data and call up the encoded data from affected locations. the app was devised by bell in startups news in you know and culture for life. we could see the some catching up to do because so far it involved comparing whole excel tables and phoning around manually so lots and lots of time was being lost and those affected could have been informed much earlier that the process we've digitalized. cultural

institutions were among the 1st to demand the up including some renowned german bands but competing at developers think the hype surrounding luker is unfounded and say its data security is substandard. i think the central plank of the criticism which upsets many people the most is centralised data storage. and we want to avoid that. with our solution to data storage is decentralized via the different up providers like. data protection activists a decentralized data storage is less vulnerable to hack attacks and abuse and they also point to security loopholes it will take some time before all doubts are dispelled and all public health departments are connected with luka but anyway with few exceptions lockdowns means there's not much prospect of it being any use for some time. so most of i will also have to bide his time until he can once again
