africa at about two million subscriptions let's find out more now to do that we're joined by stephen beardsley from d.w. business good morning to you stephen this is a key technology isn't it five g. is set to dominate the future of communications absolutely and sometimes it's hard to parse high from the reality here as you mentioned to bring something like autonomous driving on a wide scale you're going to need five g. network to have something like remote surgery the often here talked about some of these advancements that we so often talk about the require this network that's going to be tremendously faster than what we have now it's quite a hefty build out though this required quite a lot of money that's going to need to be spent by these carriers telecom their c.e.o. estimated between three hundred and five hundred billion euro for all of europe and their course profitability will be much further down the road so it's a little bit of a gamble they're going to want to get as many devices them and chip makers to create sort of. internet of things your toaster your microwave your car all thes

s stephen beardsley from the business desk good morning stephen morning ron this looks like a bellwether case doesn't it that if intentionally could cost triple digit figures for buyers yeah it's going to be expensive and this is actually a bellwether case that's a legal term it's often used in product liability cases like this when a company faces hundreds maybe even thousands of cases against that the judge will often pick one case and say this is the one that's where we're going to test the merits were to see how that goes and then we'll produce the others afterwards what was interesting about this case is first of all it's the second case to go to trial i think you mentioned there was another case in august of last year that was in state court in california the first federal trial the federal judge said this will be a bellwether case going forward what was interesting is it was actually separate into two phases one was evidentiary phase against roundup itself and the other is months antos sort of knowledge of whether round up the chemical in a glass to say it was problematic and it w

ok lots at stake here we're joined for more by stephen beardsley from the business good morning stephen morning five g. the auction starts today this is all about the future of communications isn't it absolutely and today is seen as a concrete first step for germany towards building out that new network and of course germany's been criticised because compared to a lot of other developed western nations of its status it doesn't quite have four g. in areas the you'd imagine the coverage is actually pretty pretty pretty low so now it's starting up in the five g. process that's also been criticised for the bureaucracy some. around it. just the slow roll out the time that it's taken so hopefully this will sort of move things faster real quick they're looking to raise about three to five billion euro here on the government is by selling off these frequencies that the major carriers like telecom like vodafone that they need to provide to provide the five g. network that that's what's happening today it's going to cost significantly more for each of these carriers to build out their network as

stephen beardsley from our business team is here with us to help put all this in perspective so even if it's really important this auction that's taking place for the five g. frequencies what the bidders are they when it comes to huawei are they going to be allowed to to rely on the way technology when they hand in their beds yes that's the way to peers right now and because the bid stipulations weren't drawn up so that they prohibit. it any particular network hardware provider that would've been one way to prohibit while ways to say to the bidders you can't use the following sub contractors or services that didn't happen and then if there are any questions today on the america will actually said we're not in the business of prohibiting one particular business from the five g. rollout or from business here in germany and so that seems to settle it at least in the near term that does not mean however that the skepticism over huawei is gone from germany you know we've even seen germany's intelligence agency saying that they see a threat within the company potentially and that i think i

more from stephen beardsley from a business department welcome so the american f.a.a. the federal aviation agency has said that these planes are safe but it doesn't look like the rest of the world believes i'm right and these are regulatory authorities exercising the authority that they're supposed to have i mean they see the public basically afraid after two crashes of what is linked to these aircraft and they're reacting proactively the f.a.a. is being seen as not acting aggressively enough right now and frankly it's been seen as not having acted aggressively enough in regards that this model is the seven thirty seven max was an upgrade of the seven thirty seven. and one of the things that was changed was that one of the program acquirements i should change i should say was that the plane would not be changed enough so that pilots would have to be retrained because that's expensive for boeing and so that's what happened they made a bunch of changes they moved the engines to the front for example closer to the front should say but the f.a.a. boeing that pilots would h

are here the big table with me is our business editor stephen beardsley so stephen after canada has said we're grounding the airplanes the united states really had no choice it doesn't put them in a very difficult position because canada probably gave the most complete case yet of any country when it grounded it said that it actually used satellite data to look at the profiles of the lion air flight that crashed into the java sea and the ethiopian airlines flight that crashed on sundays on sunday and what it saw was similar circumstances and similar to vertical fluctuations in particular it's said that it also solved it and i'm not sure how they got this from satellite if it got this from other information but it said that all signs indicated that software in the plane in both cases pushed the nose down this is the software that you and i talked about yesterday this is something that after a lion air happens a lot of people were pointing to the software briefly to explain it again the seven thirty seven max is an update on the plane seven thirty seven the engines were moved a bit further

well for more on this possible mega merger and joined by stephen beardsley from v.w. business hey steve so there's been rumors about a possible merger between these two banks for quite some time yet now it's confirmed that talks are going ahead what about the timing was it happening now as you said this is been in the crystal ball for a while and it's even been attempted once before on sort of a preliminary basis so both sides have known that this was a likely is a likelihood both weak banks why it's happening now is because look at the economy what's happening with the global economy and also here in europe in germany everyone expects it to go down it's already starting to slump you see in china see a lot of global signs that things are really sort of receding and when the waters recede that makes everything harder for businesses the german government looks and it sees a lot of businesses that are going to of course need support during that time when it comes to financing and credit and if they don't have a strong bank out there if they have too weak banks who's real

all right my colleague stephen beardsley with our business desk is here now let's talk about what is happening here is even me it's a big deal for the european union to say you know these planes are not allowed here but it's a lack of trust right they don't know if that if the f.a.a. in the united states is being honest with them well they they have to respond to their own publics right and their own public see what everyone sees right now that there is a new model that is only two years old and it's crash twice now airplane crashes don't happen that often and the same model within four months of one another that makes you ask questions especially the passengers so these are proactive measures now the f.a.a. said yesterday that the plane was airworthy but they also said that it needs a software update that they will mandate by the end of april if i can so that's right well it's not the most reassuring signal right so everything's fine why is this update required to explain this very briefly the seven thirty seven max came with something different from the seven thirty seven and that
