Africa and the world. Your link to exception stories and discussions continue and will come student news after Getting Program tonight from born in germany from the news of easy to our i would say d. Deputed comes next africa to join us on facebook d w africa. Africas tech the landscape is changing doesnt solve a problem mushrooming across the continent but the growth has its pitfalls many fathers are ignoring the tricky legal issues. Also those Railway Station 2 men remember best saw him when this all expressed was moving people and goods from mali into senegal on a daily basis cuts to revive the traditional route have now been shelved. We have both the old and the new africa for today here on the w. Business africa. Starts with the new tech fever has well and truly taken hold across the continent last year alone the number of socalled tech hubs has grown by 50 percent according to recent Research Tech hobbs Technology Parks coworking spaces or University Run centers just 3 years ago there were only 340 of them across africa just have a look at numbers of truly exploded kenya has been particularly a particular hotbed with 90 hubs established ahead of the likes of egypt south africa these hobbes to supporting rise in Internet Companies across the continent providing a tech ecosystem that Online Shopping sites and Payment Systems need all of those enterprises that handles peoples data of course and that brings with it legal issues that many founders do not have on their radar kenya is the latest to react to that introducing a new Data Protection law just this month its based on e. U. Legislation that many startups are struggling to keep up with legal developments and one woman who wants to change that is linda banu a kenyan lawyer founder of laureus hop into baiting legal take startups and offering Pro Bono Legal advice to the tech ecosystem and the welcome to the studio will this new Data Protection law make life more difficult for fathers in terms of compliance its going to make it a little difficult because they have to register as data processes if theyre for example handling the tad then if they have a controller for instance thats a Kenya Airways working with a start up in processing that they take means they have to be compliant as well and that makes that double complains because if youre working in the e. U. Then you still have to comply with g. D. P. As well so i think. Complicates the issue too if youre planning on transferring data from kenya there are laws about that i introduced it in the new Data Protection on transferring data across the border so i think the complaints will be double compliance and they need more advice as well we have requirements on hiring a Data Protection officer which is not compulsory but its advisable so that means more costs on compliance so i think it will a little bit complicated place for them but its possible within that right legal advice do you reckon to do founders of startups usually young people. Very talented in the in the in the in the tech business will do the generally underestimate the legal side of the business i think Tech Startups actually end is to make Legal Services go for them when theyre in trouble thats when they realize eventually the digital age yeah but on the other hand glans a very expensive and we have to acknowledge that the Legal Profession is expensive for instance in kenya we have. That indicates how much a lesser charge and its not cheap and so i understand why they dont go for that but i would advice that its actually important to do it within the innovation hubs that we can in in africa we are part of a free labs which is a network of innovation hubs in africa that now has 174 startups across 45 countries and so we are working out and see what are the legal priorities of start ups need can we offer them through the lending programs and we have seen a lot of you know change especially within the country in kenya for them to comply what kind of special legal issues do tech start ups phrase others or other issues that every other Company Faces as well i think there are usually issues but its complicated by a new and emerging technologies because a lot of the countries do not have the new Legal Framework for compliance and so just recently kenya for instance introduced taxation on eco masts and saw willing to comply would have to grapple with what is this law and does even a lawyer understand what this bill is about. Whos involved we have the gig economy now and. People is not like it was a few years ago with. You and the usual intellectual property issues that if i want to do a pretend for example its complicated its expensive in africa and it also will enforce intellectual Property Rights in africa is actually not very very easy so i think these are some of the issues that need and when they get to be brought to sell their companies we have time sheets to go through that most of them to actually do not understand but thats the got the going to feel in the continent. Thank you very much thank you for the. Different story what can be done with a priceless 18th century jewels stolen from one of germanys most iconic museums. The city of dresden is said to be worth up to 1000000000 euros the thieves are unlikely to try and cash in on the pieces any time soon because the collection of the royal house is far too well known once owned by the 18th century royal family these sets of diamond studded jewelry have been described as priceless theyre part of one of the biggest and most unique jewelry collections in the world and now theyre in the hands of criminals in just minutes they cleared a section of the display case in the green vault these pictures from the surveillance camera captured the thieves in action exactly how many items were taken is still unknown but the jewels the river size and purity rarely seen on the market anyone trying to sell just one of them at auction could expect to be arrested immediately. Action houses and dealers all over the world will be scrutinizing any stand out pieces on their owners the pieces may get melted down to release the precious stones which would add insult to injury for those who were robbed. These ensembles have stayed together they have significant cultural historical value theres nothing else like them in the whole world and the individual pieces and the materials are nothing in comparison to the significance of keeping the ensembles intact thats also almost a relief. To market experts are now eager to see when and where the 1st stolen pieces turn up in circulation and whether or not they get recognized. Autonomous driving that is self driving cars is coming its just about off topic its not clear yet who will win the race and what kind of technology will prevail companies all over the world are searching for the best and safest solutions. Traffic in and around tell if he is chaotic to say the least. But self driving cars could provide a solution. Russian tech family is testing it spectacle in amongst the traffic has. The engine isnt driving the cars doing everything on its own were going to stop here and above it shows us the reason why i would stop here its like either pedestrians passing or here is a traffic light. That someone outside the car seems control of the vehicle. The car is completely tautness all the calculations happen on board theyre in the trunk you can see a big pay say we should just call the calculations so you can attack the car from the outside because its not connected to the outside world in an emergency the driver hits a button and takes over the controls Israeli Companies want to compete with russian and american rivals in autonomous drawing thing and israeli start up has its own itis how other works with radar which isnt common in civilian applications but very common in the army many of the staff have experience in the Israeli Military just like aircraft their vehicles use radio waves to recognize obstacles radio works in all weather and the system has very High Resolution better picture quality means safer jointing so when we when we are driving everything is approaching us so it becomes really everything there is green the stationary everything that is blue hes getting farther away and everything there is ready is approaching us. What looks simple is an. We think about it because safety is paramount. The technology that is needed in order to solve the problem of autonomys driving is like landing on the moon its even more complicated than that so the challenge is big the level of safety that you need to bring is a very high this New Territory requires a lot of trust in Artificial Intelligence and belief that both data on technology and controllable. It was known as the sa express for decades the colonial era railway line between the car and bomber cole was a source of National Pride to the people of both senegal and mali increasing use of roads so revenues ebb away until the route was closed just 18 months ago leaving more a sense of shame and of pride. Brightly colored trains like this one but once the life blood of mali but now the carriages sit derelict at bamako station home only to spiders and the occasional peca. But moosa cakes and mother monte enter between them clocked up more than 70 years working on the route to tackle remember better times. Were really on a monday like today train number 12 would depart there was always euphoria there was crying there were unions and thats what we really miss. There among more than 400 people technically still employed by the dakar bamako fair of the company they still turn up for work despite not being paid for 10 months new trains have operated since may 28th teen when money to maintain the line ran out. I learned a lot about it that before retiring all i wish for is to relive the same atmosphere that we used to have here the life of a railwayman as all of a. Big part of that atmosphere moose are enjoyed was provided by the bamako station orchestra the cafeteria was the home of the famous rail band founded by Mamadou Packer Yoko he still remembers where each of the players sat. But if it was right here where the name band was given. Now the music has long been silenced the most and now waiting for something anything to happen. The governments of mali and senegal have both promised millions of dollars to get the trains moving again that would come as an immense relief to the workers of bamako station in the next service is longer fiji.
