S. Consumer spending grew by almost 5 per cent between the beginning of april and the end of june it is the fastest pace in almost 5 years now lets put these figures into perspective and who better to do that than our financial correspondent yes quarter on wall street yet amid recession fears and a nasty trade war that has been going on for over a year where is this massive sharp increase in Consumer Spending coming from. All the chatter on wall street on a possible cooling of the u. S. Economy and all those tweets from u. S. President donald trump obviously have not reached the vast majority of u. S. Consumers even if you look into details its mostly discount chains doing good and there is an interesting trend just recently here in the United States that the top earners on wall street that the super rich they actually start to spend a little less so maybe that is a sign that at least part of the country are where or are a bit skeptical skeptical if the Economic Growth that we see can still be continued and what we also shouldnt forget as those figures published for the 2nd quarter meaning ending june 30th sold the latest round of terrorists that the u.

Governments bureau of economic and Business Affairs has been explaining its very important that we have trust in those vendors for 500. 00 technologies when indicator of trust that were very concerned about is that a vendor not be under the control of a Foreign Government without appropriate judicial controls and its not difficult to know which Foreign Government hes specifically referring to you know with regard to china we know that their National Intelligence law has that feature of them being able to mandate that vendors like our way in c. T. E. Comply with mandates of their intelligence or Security Services without an independent judicial review which does us does cause us serious cause of concern. The u. S.

They have an acting as my guest in just a minute also coming up. Thoughts on a grand scale cities made out of cardboard of a speciality of french artist bolivia growth. And a visit to burdens on the world in our alternative tourist guide planet. But we begin with the film and then we danced written and directed by swedish filmmaker 11. Lets have a quick look at a scene from the movie. You know. Im a doctor or its a sudden often. Through home runs on their rights and its up. Film is a story that takes place in the world of traditional georgian dance which is a big. Culture. And im joined by the writer director of the film lemon 1st of all welcome a new must be very excited about the oscar. Thank you for having me and. I believe if we can go back to the oscars a next february we might get there but lets go back a few years because i believe this particular incident that inspired you to make this film tell us about. 201315 young kids in georgia decided to hold georgias 1st pride parade. In tbilisi the capital and they were there was a counterattack organize a counter demonstration organized and they were attacked and the images you know are cable out on all the news channels and i saw it in sweden and i thought. I didnt like what i saw and i thought you know i should do something about that about that topic so that was sort of like the inspiration for the film and then sort of give us a brief synopsis of what the films about well basically i would say its a coming of age story about a young downstair at the Georgia National ensemble which is a very strict conservative. Place. And the he you know falls in love with another guy and its sort of becomes like a catalyst for him to i think in the end discover his own artistry i think you know its a film about breaking the norm sort of you know ok i mean this seems to be george seems real still to the gay rights is this why you made the film in the georgian language yeah i mean i think the setting of the story certainly you know if it had been set in sweden it would have been the same story so you know there was something there that i wanted to. Discover and sort of delve into. Georgia you know its sort of complicated i think its a very polarized country at the moment and its very divided on one and you know you have the Younger Generation whos very you know. Liberal and they really you know one Something Else and then on the other hand you have sort of a you know this is the lips or whatever you call them lets see another clip and this is where the head of the daunce academy appears to many sort of question the main actor the man. God to. Be the one instance or. The dental shift. Verity courtneys one. You know. Its our history and. You can feel the tension. I believe you when you went to film in georgia you had sort of the authorities there another script will give them another impression of what the film was about well i mean we didnt you know actually give them a script but we you know we had to film in some place you know were a little take it to get into had they known exactly what the film was about so you know we had another official plot for the film that we were some sort of you know. In some places and in some places you know we could be totally open again its about the division i was talking about it did you actually have problems if you have problems when you are that we did that we did fortunately we know. Some locations where were supposed to film would you know just suddenly disappear and you know we kind of feel like as they were renovating and things like that so you know we never nobody officially told us you cant be here as youre making an algae bt film but. Also just quickly want to mention Benny Andersson of abba was one of the producers but is he interested in georgia traditional. I think he probably is his you know hes a patron of the arts. I know that he actually 20 years ago did a george cd with polyphonic choir singing so he has a little is there but actually its son who is the producer from from. Well hes a good producer are a lot its a little bit of a loss for the film you cross your fingers for the. Thank you very much about so great film youve got. The main role material used by french artist olivier. Is cardboard boxes he makes what can only be described as. Just cardboard bits of tape and he needs a lot of help so invested the people of la in france to construct buildings they know from their own city to create a temporary town down at the citys hall. On cardboard boxes tape and lots of helping hands are all that only means for his monumental art this is urban art kind of 14 cardboard buildings up to 27 meters tall and weighing one and a half tons each hes having a city built within a city on the waterfront and yeah friends his largest cardboard creation to date does that make him nervous. We could build a lot more here without. The conditions actually make me more nervous than the construction itself. That was almost completely destroyed in the 2nd world war later french architect. Designed housing for around 60000 people a masterpiece of urban planning. Drew inspiration from the heritage site for his cardboard installation. Fascinating work and a bit like being an architect. I have kids and as a boy i myself used to play with this. You can be anything you want to. A little kid a shit an airplane or whatever he said you know truth. These monumental cardboard concepts would hardly be feasible without plenty of help from the people of new. Buildings are made of some 3000 rolls of tape and 23000 boxes far fewer than bricks in the originals they take just one week of construction
