now with our man on wall street jens quarter joins us all financial correspondent from new york yes we've seen incredible swings on the markets what's the latest. well investors on wall street are not ready to throw in the towel at this point after blue chips gained a good three hundred points on friday we saw an even bigger upswing a recovery here on monday when blue chips gained a good four hundred points still those big swings no matter if to the up or to the down side show that there is some nervousness in the market and wednesday actually could become a crucial day that's where we'll get the related reading on consumer prices an important gorge for inflation and if that should take a bit higher than expected then maybe we might see the yields of u.s. treasuries on the move again and that could increase the pressure here on wall street but that is wednesday so at least at the beginning of the week we did see the recovery going on for a second consecutive day and hands beginning of the week trump or so unveiling his long awaited infrastructure blueprint how's it looking and how's it going down. a lot of traders who are saying well that's good news in general if we might see a huge infrastructure program of about one point five trillion dollars in the course of the next ten years but there was also some head scratching of how likely it is that this idea will pass because the white house idea is that the federal side will chip in about two hundred billion dollars and the remaining one point three trillion dollars is supposed to come from cities from states and from the private sector and of that's very likely well there is a doubt here the u.s. president will meet with key members leaders of the democratic and republican party old saw on wednesday and discuss further details whence there seems to be the day of this week so far yes go to following it for us from new york thank you. well monday's more cheerful market mood also helped lift oil as a relief for a country so dependent on the black sticky stuff we're talking a rock and after war with the so-called islamic state the nation is trying to rebuild itself with help from abroad aid groups pledging three hundred thirty million dollars on the first day of an international reconstruction conference in kuwait but iraq needs a lot more especially considering what some officials are saying they reckon that the u.s. is refusing to give anymore one observer saying that maybe don't if the teeth but no one can say that isn't the money when there's money to continue fighting. rebuilding iraq will cost eighty eight point two billion dollars after years of civil war and decades of under investment that's according to the planning ministry complicating matters is the fact that the country is effectively under two governments there's the autonomous kurdistan region in the north with around forty five billion barrels of oil reserves the rest of iraq has at least one hundred fifty billion barrels. but it's difficult to get reliable data from a country like iraq which is plagued by political instability but what's clear is just how dependent the country is on oil. it's estimated to account for around ninety two percent of overall state revenues. that some fifty seven billion out of sixty eight billion u.s. dollars. the iraqi government is currently looking for investors for refineries pipelines and production facilities at its manned you can all field one of the country's largest the government hopes to double output and the chinese led consortium could be the favorite to take over the field. state owned petro china is already the largest foreign investor in iraq and it could work with us chevron and francis to tout to exploit the field other big players include exxon streets the story for those to lazy to find a bin for their trash and jenin city is taking on the disposable coffee cup culture and it's burned up quite a nice idea. street sweepers in hanover have had enough of disposable cups with all too many pedestrians simply dumping them on the street as soon as they finish their coffee the explosion of coffee takeaway outlets in recent years has unleashed a steadily growing flood of extra trash and pick ups take up a huge amount of space in trash cans it only takes four or five large ones to fill up an entire sack. but. the number of cups we get nowadays is just huge every kiosk every cafe sells them and it's causing enormous problems here in hanover. on average hanover's half a million plus residents jettisoned over twenty million used paper cups annually the city authorities decided that was far too many and began fighting the deluge a year ago. the cardboard on the surface but inside they're lined with plastic. and as they can lie around for hundreds of years we have to collect every single one for incineration so it's not a good product not in the least ecological. it's time to get rid of them. the city's answer was to market its own reuse of all cops with a deposit the hanno cino it costs two euros which is refunded when customers drop it off at one of the participating cafes over one hundred fifty outlets are already taking part in the plan and the network is growing by the week. easy solution for coffee drinkers they normally don't have to go far to find somewhere to drop their cups off pick up pop off drink up drop off the city doesn't make a cent from the scheme for cafe operators the service is free and they save on the cost of paper cups. it's good for their image to. the only condition is that participants have a dishwasher to keep the cups clean and hygenic that was no problem for the staff of this popular cafe they're happy about every customer who switches to that had. the street cleaning squads now have far fewer paper cups to deal with and the trash cans don't fill up as fast either that all saves money. could step economic and digging through dirt and in your well kenya
