build it after the war is finally over. you're watching the news still to come a new cold war in cyberspace that's what some experts are calling russian solder attacks they say were aimed at the government and private computer. that's right coming right up with business interests. i just. you accidentally shed some taken again in the trows. time in the field. can you get out. with him code oh a serious. shift this week on d.w. . freedom of expression. of value there talking ways has to be defended and new. all over the world. of freedom freedom

of art. a multimedia project about artists and their right to express their views freely. d.w. dot com the freedom. it's the cold war but not as we know it it happens in cyberspace and i read joint statement the us britain and australia accuse russia of espionage and planning to sabotage western infrastructure. and trade war on not sign of the economy is back to full. as new official figures out today. this is the business live from berlin belfast in a joint declaration the us britain and australia accused russia of preparing cyber

attacks on computer networks could. used to sabotage critical infrastructure in the west's statement says moscow is also using the internet for political and economic espionage russia denies the allegations but western security security experts are warning the new cold war in cyberspace isn't full swing. the hacking accusations against russia came in a rare joint statement the british and u.s. cyber agency said russia could be laying the foundation for future offensive cyber attacks they warned that hackers backed by the russian government were targeting government and private computer networks the hackers aim to compromise key hardware like routers and fire walls that would give them virtual control of data flows allowing them to steal critical data and plant the ability to carry out cyber warfare the attacks weren't limited to the two countries australia also accused

kremlin backed hackers of targeting hundreds of companies. the the points which forces for us as a government and should reinforce for all the struggle is that vigilance is absolutely imperative in terms of security the announcements come at a time of growing concern about russia's cyber activities last year the us ordered civilian government agencies to remove casper's key antivirus software from their networks amid concerns the company was sharing data with the kremlin casper's key denied the accusations and in february germany said russian hackers had breached key government networks the ongoing cyber assault raises new questions about russia's intentions a country the agency is described as their most capable hostile adversary in cyber space. looks like the chinese economy is back to full speed ahead fears of

a trade war with the us haven't dented china's growth official first quarter figures out today show gross domestic product beat expectations the world's second largest economy expanded by six point eight percent compared to the first three months of last year the government says china's economy can withstand the looming u.s. tariffs on of up to one hundred fifty billion dollars on its goods but if ec economists say efforts to rein in china's infamous smaug could take that toll on growth later this year as beijing i will spectra factories and steel plants to cut pollution. china faces us tariffs on his exports it will lift a key restriction that has strained relations with washington and other trading partners vegies says it will be opening its car industry to full foreign ownership over the next five years market restrictions for makers of electric cars are to be eliminated this year followed by the combined commercial vehicles in twenty twenty

and passenger cars two years later the current rules require foreign carmakers operating in china to work through joint ventures with state owned companies but many automakers are reluctant to do that because it forces them to share technology with potential rivals. european union has filed documents for the world trade organization to protest u.s. tariffs on steel europe wants compensation saying the import duties aren't really based on national security as claimed against w t o rules in march the u.s. imposed duties of twenty five percent on steel and ten percent on a limb enya all day although it quickly granted a temporary exemptions to the e.u. and some other trading on those exemptions will run out soon and talks on a more permanent solution. half a trillion euros that's how much journalism business plans to switch to renewable energy will cost the german economy in the next seven years alone it's about acts

balin wants to phase out nuclear and at the same time reduce carbon emissions so far the shift in policy has brought no significant reduction in c o two emissions. teemu set its sights on reducing c o two emissions as fast as possible and plans to lower the use of fossil fuels like coal was at the same time pivoting towards more renewable energy sources. has declared a minister become the first major economic bloc to reduce c o two emissions by thirty five percent by twenty thirty at the same time the proportion of renewable energies will be pushed to thirty five percent of energy needs the plans are expensive they are expected to cost germany alone five hundred twenty billion euros by twenty twenty five. that averages out to twenty years a month per capita for germany whereby most of the bills from four hundred billion euros repaid to renewable energy producers are through from other costs of the

transition from the right way to benefits but just sort of institute for competition economics says germany is still pumping out as much c o two as it was ten years ago meaning that the shift towards renewables here hasn't prevented one single turn of c o two from being released into the atmosphere. let's bring in kelly mccann said she's an energy expert at the german institute for economic research one just does not need the switch to renewables is expensive and ineffective what needs to change to make this political agenda economically viable well i would say there are of course costs as you mentioned it already but we also see that there's a lot a lot of investments ongoing into future markets on the one hand the renewables the cost for new of us have got this is also because of the german energy transition and on the other hand we see that the investment credits also saw. and this is this

is a valuable thing we have to close but of course many things have to improve especially the policy direction because right now as you said the emissions are too high and we have to phase out coal missions also the transportation sector have to go. if it's not really working out here in germany how can we be an example for the rest of europe. we can be an example for the rest of europe if we can show that the cost for renewables will god down further because the huge costs we have already paid well not calm in the future anymore because the costs are so low at the moment so i cannot legally speaking renewables are already competitive to combination of energy and that's a goal on the one hand on the other hand the other sectors like the transportation sector the heating says sector have to follow and here we have to do a lot of dollar prize is on the rise again i'll say dinos of around sixty two dollars a barrel back in february brant crude is currently standing at about seventy one

dollars a barrel will that help the push towards renewables it will have to push towards more energy saving the cost or less use especially in the transportation and heating sector and here we need special in the building sector we need more energy saving energy efficiency improvement and a high oil price could help here as well as we have to switch from fossil fuel for transportation towards small electric mobility all climate friendly fuels and he also high oil price could help do you think the this german transition to renewables is on a good way is on a good way regarding the every new beau's because we have already reached the shelf of thirty percent up to now the electricity production but it's not on a good way if we see the rest of the energy system like coal the shelf coal is so high and also not a good example in the transportation sector where we use it too much cars and

cars and here we have to switch to wasn't sustainable transportation system. from the german is just going to research thank you very much for this analysis thank you. as current human president raul castro prepares to step down this week entrepreneurs in cuba optimistic about the country's future in the last decade he's transformed transformed the country he inherited from his brother fidel is revolts happened on the eastern economic boom but some surprising successes of the first few but design a clothing store. it's never really empty on the streets of old havana crowds of tourists do their shopping there every day also visiting the smaller shops of many cubans who have become self-employed that's only been allowed for a few years in a small side street designer it down here del rio runs her business kenda stina the brand has enjoyed success thanks to its high profile customers even appearing on
