Association so far facebook and the commission have both declined to comment. Our financial correspondent joins us now from new york and so what sort of answers is facebook actually supposed to provide here. Well i mean one of the main questions really is in this case at least the possibility of competitive behavior and if you look at facebook they have more users than the combined population of china and the u. S. So there is this claim there and then also facebook will probably face questions if there are any plans to somehow connect to some of facebooks Services Like for example or also the Messenger Services but this is really only one of the many regulatory issues that facebook is facing with libra and with the other services in general as well now staying on tech giants french president and model mccraw urged the u. S. To get big tech to pay more taxes now is washington washington under any real pressure to do so well i mean if you look at the United States there is old sold the trend and there are some movements here especially when it comes to to trust the behavior of the market power that some of the Big Companies companies have but i do not see any pressure on the u. S. Side to really go on board with the french or government at this point why should washington have any interest to help europe to collect taxes from us corporations and culture there on wall street for us thank you very much flying is a dirty business literally the Environmental Impact of flights is huge german chancellor Angela Merkel told an inaugural National Aviation conference in the city of life say that germany should be a world leader in Climate Friendly aviation. The heavy hitters from the German Government arrived by helicopter that had more to do with speed than the environment but the environment was the order of the day and leipsic angloamerican made it clear that Climate Friendly aviation can be a competitive advantage. Then p. A enjoy it if we invest in new technologies and focus on modern aircraft with low noise levels and low emission engines the Aviation Industry can accept it and demand in competitiveness can be secure at that stage. One policy the German Government wants to promote is the use of Hydrogen Powered aircraft the Opposition Green Party is calling for higher taxes on jet fuel but the industry sees threats to its competitiveness. Those of year its important that the german Aviation Industry can compete and therefore we say we need internationally agreed aviation policy not national unilateralist. The german transport minister opposes any new taxes but he is considering raising the existing aviation tax. I agree with the Aviation Industry that we can talk about adjusting the levy which means we could use the extra revenue to invest in new technologies in mauritania look in. The government wants conferences like this one to take place regularly in the future the next one is set for 2021. Our reporter Kate Ferguson was out that aviation conference earlier we asked her what else the industry could do to make flying less environmentally damaging. Demand for air travel is rising all the time its expected to double in the next 2 decades to 8000000000 passengers on your way and that means of course that you need a solution that doesnt involve people flying less because demand is growing all the time and there are some options for making this industry less environmentally damaging one of the of course is to boost fuel efficiency by building lighter waste machinery another is to invest in alternative bio fuels and of course longer term as well and electric mobility is an option the car industry has already embraced and there is no reason that the Aviation Industry wont follow suit especially according to the people talking here today another option of course is about cargo so while people might not be stopping to getting on planes there are other options for transporting goods and were already seeing a lot of investment in Drone Technology with Major Companies like amazon already investing in the technology i think were likely to see a lot more drones flying around in the future.

I guess if i say nothing will change by knocking off zeros from the currency nothing will change by reviving coins in transactions. That you im sure nothing will change by lowering the price of dollars. We saw that he even when the dollar price decreased prices did not declines this point. And that money and. This move can psychologically affect the lower class people because they might feel that the value of their money has shrunk yes that is a good place thats the psychological impact in my opinion but it wont adversely affect the economy in fact the Current Situation will remain unchanged you know.
