thank you for joining us transport authorities in london have decided not to renew operating license that means drivers might not be able to continue offering their services within a few weeks transport for london says were is not fit and proper and public safety and security but not for the reasons you might think the loss of its license isn't more than a small road bump for labor but the right ailing service says it's planning to power through by preparing an appeal it accuses london's transport regulator of unfairly favoring the city's traditional black cab drivers disgruntled at market share grab. and transport for london has paid them to stream pressure to make a small number of individuals and groups that want to restrict choice to consumers and competition within the impact of that decision if it stands with over forty thousand licensed drivers out of work the transport authorities took issue with hoover's approach to reporting serious criminal offenses background checks on

drivers and its use of grey ball a software that blocks like to passengers from using a car's like investigators are regulators for example but while goober has run into regulatory trouble in many cities in addition to london the service has been quite popular here goober cars make up a third of all privately hired vehicles. the last of the license is just the latest in a spate of problems which forced out the company's c.e.o. but whether new management will be able to push past this latest rope block will be an important test for the company's ability to stay on track. of course you can use were on your i phone and apple's latest model of it has hit the shelves today the i phone eight boasts a new display and wireless charging among other features excitement is high but some apple fans do have to outs about the new release. people have come out in the hundreds to buy the i phone eight in front of apple's flagship store on fifth

avenue in manhattan considering the crowds that used to come back out for days ahead of new apple product releases this is a modest showing but hardcore apple fans are under target by their dwindling numbers. if you want one you know it's really expensive. but it's convenient if their whole family . they were locked in. the i phone eight has a faster processor of rational age to screen and wireless charging a plus version offers more features but reception has been lukewarm as competing products already come with bigger screens and wireless charging for less than the i phone eight hefty seven hundred dollars price tag and then there are those who are skipping the i phone a still hold out for the i phone tag and the features that come with it like facial recognition. but that's not till november one

thousand dollars a pop it's set to attract an even more commissions user base. our financial correspondent in new york at the new york stock exchange watching the apple stock for us now so all of that we just saw sounds like good news for apple but that's not how investors see it right. exactly that was a bad week for the apple stock at least for the week shares of apple are down close to six percent so far their worst performing week ever prior to an i phone or apple watch lawn so the company had more than fifty billion dollars from its market value since it launched the new products according to fact data investors are disappointed because as you mentioned i found a demand is lower than i phone six or seven demand at this point in the cycle and one reason might just be the i phone ten i don't think that anyone is planning on buying both the eight and ten so i guess people are just waiting for november third

now apple fans in the us can buy their i phones through their mobile service provider and it seems like we're seeing some changes there too. yes so first of all these are reports that haven't been commented are validated yet by any of the two involved companies but according to a report from the quietest team all by us is about to close the deal too much with its brands people familiar with the matter said on friday and this would indeed change the american market a lot for telecom and communication so fishermans at the new york stock exchange thank you very much and have a good weekend and this week we saw germany's biggest steel company to cope announce a merger of its european operations with its indian competitor tata steel the move could cost thousands of jobs in germany's area which is known as the heart of the german industry. they're

striking the bell and alarm they are steelworkers in both home as they took to the streets on friday their plant is threatened once to some cope and tata steel works their european business four thousand jobs are about to be cut according to management workers fear this might only be the beginning with deeper cuts to come industry experts agree that for the two steel companies a joint venture makes sense they have to compete against cheap chinese imports and not desperate to cut cost but for people in the region companies shedding jobs has become far too normal they worry about their livelihood. we are upset we are afraid to lose our jobs obviously they're closing one plant after another apparently all is good until twenty twenty but after that they might kick us to the curb cuts on. the market of. the always when the jobs go away the whole

city dies we already have huge youth unemployment we can't go on like this. indeed unemployment in the who're area germany's industrial heartland is way over ten percent more than double the german average four years everything from technological advances to the current energy transition has led to a far reaching structural change in the who area and with no other industry settling here to make up for the jobs lost workers want to make sure that the steel business is not entirely leaving germany. france's president i'm annoyed my call has signed a series of controversial labor market reforms into law tens of thousands of people took to the streets to protest the changes and measures make it easier for companies to hire and fire workers and also allow small companies to negotiate directly with their staff instead of recurring to trade unions mccall was elected

on the hopes that these reforms would help reduce france's unemployment rate which is currently at nine and a half percent now some say the reforms are urgently needed others say they will hurt france's society and economy but let's see what they mean on a practical level what will actually change these are louis took on the pros and cons of presidents mccall flexion reform. money that ran for a german had always dreamed of moving to paris eight months ago she opened a cafe here but life as a small business owner in france is harder than she expected especially when she hires staff that need an extended period of training. and the problem is that france has strict rules against dismissals. and one of my pastry chefs was still very slow two months on so i had to let her go if i kept her on a longer she would have had

a permanent contract then even if she didn't improve i'd have been forced to keep or. even under the proposed reforms dismissals would still be strictly regulated but the new rules would make it easier to offer short term job contracts also giving employers more time to see if staff were a good fit the proposal would also cap compensation awarded by courts and dismissal cases every leaf or small business owners like sasha millo. is polluted. with always had this sword of damocles one yield for our head if we had to let anyone go it could be so expensive we go bankrupt. employers may welcome the change but many trade union activists are dismayed. turns back the clock to labor conditions at the start of the twentieth century employers will be able to calculate exactly how much

a dismissal will cost them so they'll take advantage of that to fire experienced and more expensive workers and replace them with young workers who don't fob off with low wages. the hardline c g t union is ready planning massive protests so far few if any other unions have committed to joining them many economists say that's no surprise because the plans are for. as are moderate overall they'd like to see even more changes. in your flock we really need our tax cuts to provide incentives for investors. the government also needs to slash incidental wage costs and improve training and continuing education. that's the only way our businesses will become competitive again. we told. the. mother of a grandfather also hopes that this first round will be followed by additional

reforms. so i understand two employees i'd like three but contra fortas the incidental wage costs are too high more reforms are in the works to lower wage labor costs on relaxed rules against dismissal but it's unlikely french unions would waive that true with vice. that's all for t w business thank you very much for watching see you next time good bye.

for national lists are on the rise when you make your contract great again that is their slogan their focus put your nation first i am taking a trip to highlights different shades of nationalism and to find out what that nation me to you. to share his story join the conversation you want to tell me you on twitter on facebook. and. on.

is a worker artist and the white overalls are his signature uniform when he's preparing a new exhibition in his dissent or studio. as an international artist based in the city on the rhine among many other awards he received of the state prize of north rhine-westphalia at the age of eighty five. most recently the artist has been taking poems by the fourteenth century persian poet hafez and translating them into shape and color but he still works with tremendous intensity. not least as conservation as you must see the whole thing just the next thing and then you get into a kind of groove. the way i work it sometimes seems impossible to finish something if i have to interrupt it is that i always see the joy if i start again the next

day it's terribly hard for me to get over the break room so i work through the night you know though in the. language and writing have always fascinated him. with good. but what really made going to world famous was nails. he discovered the nail as a means of artistic expression almost sixty years ago. these are also very important acts of will power like doing hard physical labor such as planting failed so i call these my fields because of my background in farming and these are all processes that are very deep inside me and that's manically forced me to act. hundred civilian and so i act to liberate myself from

this pressure and the urge to put something into the picture. something that is unfamiliar and which then reveals it sounds to me in an internal dialogue. no injury is made with a hammer says citing the russian poet vladimir mayakovsky. but there is a prolific artist a complete catalogue of his works is still being compiled. again and again nails. through the narrative. dark of the nile has a strong impertinence. just as you can say. pointed they feel like. that's bad behavior. and i shouldn't be here at your

nose with your finger either but that's what it is it's an insistence which i make you soft but it's also coupled with a very strong potential for aggression. which is also present in me oh. shuns any sense of ease in our his work terror orchestra from one thousand nine hundred eighty eight is a deliberate acoustic impertinence. around thirty bits of every day equipment disturbed irritate and make a dent. i did it was in line. i've always made use of everything around me like banging on pots and pans when i was a child then just stuff that was around me. stuff from moving house or standing

around in the studio i combine these things and then it just runs riot. but there is also the quiet. introverted contemplate. sendmail dating back to one nine hundred seventy is a quiet work. a momento mori an allegory of the relentless trickling away of a lifetime. knotted ropes draw patterns in the sand an extra blade digging tracks like a whip on the skin. unlike another artist doesn't have a permanent gallery. his wife christina is

responsible for the organization behind the art. their son jack up occasionally gets involved to the workers work as a family. grew up on the baltic peninsula was told i'm a simple farm boy who discovered art for himself he says. this is where he spent his childhood at the end of the war in one thousand nine hundred forty five the red army occupied the island he was fifteen the boy tried to protect his mother and sisters from the advancing soviet troops. who are happy you're all of. you and our joy nailed up the front door from the inside not even.
