Nepal is still rocked by that massive earthquake. Survivors are getting much needed relief, but aid is difficult. There are huge problems coordinating the state delivery of the aid and keeping it out of the wrong hands. Today on the set, my guess has developed new software that he hopes will help you in the future. Your software was first used in france and tested in afghanistan. Tell us what it is and what kind of impact it has had. Guests it is used to connect citizens and the state. You can download it for free on smartphones and then you detect problems relative to the public space. It can be managed by french authorities or the municipality. And the state is actually responding to the people. We thought it was important, and interesting, to see if the app was very solid. We tested it in an extreme environment, which was kabul. Two weeks ago, we were there. In 15 days we managed to get about 3500 problems identified. They go from lack of electricity to dangerous issues, floods, and other things. Once i came back from france i realize the application could be very well used in an emergency situation. Genie is it being used now in nepal . Lorenzo we are testing it in nepal. We received the first signals in nepal a few days ago and we are launching it in nepal in the coming days. Genie how concretely does it work someone sees an issue and they report it . Lorenzo yes, for instance, if you are in kabul, or a different parts of france, there are problems that you can report. You choose the category of problems in the context of where he is, and then it is sent. And the sending elements are then centralized. Once that is centralized the software is accessible to the coordinating body. In the case of nepal, they can observe what is happening. Genie how does it work in poor countries in nepal or afghanistan where not everyone has a smartphone . Lorenzo that is the limitation. We were doing something simple similar in the past with an ngo doing audits. In the case of france where he have 3g, everyone can be a monitor and participant of public life. That is the limitation. Genie do you have other examples of this kind of Technology Changing the way ngos work in these hot button kind of situations . Lorenzo these types of situations are the first we are in the presence of 3g coverage and can allow this type of software to actually work. It started to emerge in kenya and haiti about two or three years ago. But now they are much more sophisticated. Theres much more reach with what they can provide for the users, for the citizens who will signal things and for those who will manage all of it. An ngo can take a lead on a certain issue in a certain area and the coordinating body will see which ngo is doing which work. And they can orient the ngo work and say it is important to work in this area or this other area. And they will actually have an efficient response. Genie thank you for telling us about that. We will head to the United States where the Islamic State group is claiming responsibility for the attack against an antimuslim event in texas sunday.

We got our suspect and we will continue to monitor social media and other intel. To make sure that we are not getting any more or any threats. Reporter it is notoriously difficult for Law Enforcement agencies to spot the threats, as there is usually little warning before they strike. Genie lets take a look at the headlines. Jeanmarie le pen is kicked out of the party founded, by his daughter. Rudys concert burundis Constitutional Court has approved a controversial bid for a third term for the president. It has profited violent protests it prompted violent protests there. And two men are shot dead in texas in an attack on an antimuslim event. One of them had been investigated already by the fbi.

Reporter the past three months have not been kind to the european economy. A deal still has not been reached between International Creditors and athens. Obviously in our forecast the uncertainty in greece and the fact that we have not concluded negotiations after 3. 5 months of talks has had a name act has had an impact on our outlook for the countrys growth and finances. Reporter that impact is significant. The commission cut it 2015 growth forecast from 2. 5 in february to just 0. 5 . And that figure is still dependent on the greek government doing a deal with the eu and the imf on economic reforms. Such a deal bill looks far off. Still looks far off. The clock is ticking and they still need to pay the imf 750 million euros. Strapped for cash, negotiations are picking up, mainly about pensions and labor reforms. The Commission Said there is hope for growth of nearly 3 next year if it deal is finally done. We believe theres still a genuine basis for Economic Growth in 2016. Figure is 2. 9 , provided we can get back on discussions back on the rails with discussions with greece. Reporter greece is rapidly running out of cash. Genie stephen, we go next to germany where a massive train strike is underway. Stephen countless drivers for deutsche ban continue to strike. They are staging their eighth walkout in 10 months in their dispute with management over pay and working hours. The cost to the German Economy is expected to be huge. Alexander this mega strike not only strained nerves, but cost the economy a lot of money will stop trains are an important part of transportation a lot of money. Trains are important part of transportation. This will cost a lot of money. Stephen we have worries over greece, as you might imagine. But its not causing panic on the market. Just like falls in paris and frankfurt. Corporate earnings helping things elsewhere. The london ftse 100 is back from his holiday and trading it 0. 4 . It has seen a 4 increase in pretax profits thanks to a rebound in banking investment. The chief executive said they have recovered well in the first part of 2015.

There are several discussions over allegations of currency market manipulation. And the German Airline left onsite saul robin lufthansa saw revenues rise 8 . The airline expects fuel costs to increase this year from 6 billion euros to 6. 2 billion euros. Genie the Live Streaming out there scott has actually gotten into some hot water over the big boxing match over the weekend. Stephen that is right, you can stream video live using a mobile app owned by twitter. But it has come under criticism after the big fight over the weekend, Floyd Mayweather and manny pacquiao. It cost quite a bit of money for viewers to see it, but paris got was able to get it for free. But periscope was able to get it for free. There was a very tongueincheek tweet that came from the ceo of twitter that said and the winner is periscope. It will be interesting to see if they get any formal complaints. Genie im not sure about the quality. Stephen the quality is not great, but if it is the difference between paying 90 or pay nothing, it makes a difference. Genie time now for the business review. We have flowed on the set to take a look at todays papers. A lot of it are focusing on the texas shooting. Flo that is right commands you can imagine, a very controversial event that is getting a lot of attention. You can read about it in the movies. A very controversial woman as well, Pamela Geller. That was the artist. 10,000 was being offered for the best caricature of the profit. Pamela geller says this was freedom of speech, but she has been criticized for blatantly provoking a picture of the profit, which is considered sacrilegious in islam. The daily beast is saying that this woman is an embarrassment and this whole event is ridiculous, but it doesnt diminish her right to freedom of speech. That is the date the debate we have been seeing in the wake of Charlie Hebdo here in paris in january. Who Pamela Geller is, that is really the debate. Genie lets look at the state of the nation as a whole. Flo it is always interesting to see how papers abroad depict the situation. This is the washington post, and points out that politics in britain has not been as fractured as it is today. The two parties that have dominated in the 20th centrica completely collapse collapsed and no one knows what will replace it. It is really up to fringe parties now, these smaller parties to the green party and the smp. They are central actors that could play an instrumental role in the countrys future in britain. According to a survey in the independent, a lot of british voters want the system to change. 60 want reform and want to do away with the current the current system. And there are fears of postelectoral chaos that have fueled a real surge for proportional representation. Genie many papers are focusing on the french president and his trip to the middle east. Yesterday he was in qatar and today saudi arabia. He will be at the gulf summit among the First Western leader to do so, but it is not to the liking of everyone. Flo that is right, there are lots of criticism. The french christian paper says it is unscrupulous diplomacy. They can bury them to Nicholas Sarkozy and jacque chirac. The editorial talks about an alliance between opposites, but the values between saudi arabia and france are so different from our democratic and secular values. Five people were executed yesterday for stealing in saudi arabia. It is completely different from our system and the editorial warns that any push for alliance is risky. Genie and another accuses him of only putting frances business interests first. Flo that is right, this would be the probusiness paper. It is interesting to keep that in mind. They call him Francois Hollande of arabia. Saudi arabia is not only a country that is committed against women, christians minorities etc. , is also a regime that is spreading a radical and oldfashioned form of islam. This is a similar feeling i pulled out of another article that is critical of Francois Hollande the says he is becoming the best friend of the godfathers of jihadism and there is a fundamental contradiction here. On the one hand, france one Francois Hollande is fighting against jihadism, but on the other hand, scratching the back of regimes that are backing jihadist groups. Genie lets wrap up with the french paper liberation. 40 women journalists have written an open letter condemning sexism from male politicians. Flo the beginning of that manifesto is on the front page. Its a very passionate and exasperated front page. You can see it is translated as hands off these 40 women journalists have pulled together a list of recent incidents they have experienced. One politician, for instance said that is a very girly question and another woman received a text message saying i will give you the scoop if you have a drink with me. And they point out that the sexism goes the other way. Women in power often described in articles in a very sexist way. They point out the exact same tropes and language usually used to describe women in power. That is translated as macron the hunk in power and it focuses on his appearance. Genie you can seecccccccccccccccccccccccccccc making buckets to taking on bullies, basketball greats are making an impact off the court. In addition to confronting bullying, theyre raising awareness about one of the worlds most pressing Wildlife Conservation issues. This week on full frame, im sitting down with iconic athletes who use the global popularity of basketball to do good in the world. Im mike walter in new york city. Lets take it full frame.
