an important warning from washington to america's high tech sector u.s. vice president mike pence sir just google to abandoned its controversial dragon-fly app being developed for china we'll tell you why. also on the show it's a great year for germany's vineyards the hot summer gave the biggest harvest in nearly two decades but will the wine tastes good. and something almost magic happened when a city in spain solved its traffic congestion problem by banning cars a success story out of companies don't want you to know about it. it's time for business on the w o u to get us it's good to have you with us today a tough day for america's tech companies u.s. vice president mike pence has urged google to immediately and development of its

dragon fly app google is reportedly building the app especially to comply with censorship requirements in china pen said that dragon fly would strengthen china censorship regime and compromised the privacy of customers would make it easier to track private internet searches he said business leaders should think twice before entering the chinese market if it means turning over their intellectual property or contributing to beijing's oppression he also criticized what he says was china's theft of u.s. technology. for more let's bring in our financial correspondent on wall street. and even to you well looking at this story you do have to wonder if it's worth to get in trouble with the white house how relevant is the chinese market for google. well i mean it's not the first time that google tried to enter the chinese market was their church their search engine. the last effort eight years to go after that

has been some issues well i mean china is the second biggest economy on the planet and they have the biggest population so certainly it is a very interesting market but the dust has a price and if google would try to implement a superfly in china that would certainly come with some concessions from the chinese government and just recently there have been some reports that it's also quite controversial within google they have been reports that some employees actually quit because of the of the controversial project so well it is really difficult to say if it's if it's worth the price of trying to implement a superfly the stock of google by the way it was down almost three percent here in a very shaky tech environment interesting and here is not only for google but there are also reports suggesting china introduced many spying chips and servers of

amazon and apple today how did that happen. that is a pretty serious accusation in this report we got from bloomberg today saying that china implemented spy chips in some service of some big u.s. corporations like amazon and apple by the way the companies themselves are saying they're not rare of any of those militias chips in their systems but we did see some reaction here on the market the company that is supposed to build those chips called super my grill at some point that stock got hammered by more than fifty percent but it's difficult to say at this point if those i.q. is asians of this report is actually really true but it's certainly cause quite some turmoil here especially in the tech industry on wall street called to new york thank you very much. it's been a hard year for germany's farmers so

a lack of rainfall combined with extremely dry sunny weather has scorched grain and feed crops even farmers desperate for a government date but there is always a silver lining to this year's grape harvest has been the best that germany has seen since one thousand nine hundred ninety the weather extremes in germany have led to excellent wants. the grapes have roots that reach down ten metres into the earth while the summer in germany was dry the winter before that was extremely wet the grapes were able to access those deep moisture reserves which provided a harvest of exceptional yield and quality. color was golden yellow and if you press here on the radio that just comes out immediately in the grape seeds or brown well that means that they're ripe and you know it when you taste it. on the surface the dry weather means that the grapes will be disease free. the sun drenched grapes

take on a richer roma the red lines had the most benefit from the dry weather which gave the grapes a very deep color but the white grapes had very low a city which attracts customers. we have exceptionally good qualities as well as large quantities this year and such a constellation is very rare this provides good preconditions for being able to serve all markets internationally as well that wasn't the case in twenty seventeen . and twenty seventeen german wine exports were only worth three hundred eight million euros experts project twenty eighteen will exceed that number by far. this week has seen concepts for quieter cleaner cars at the paris motor show we've shown them to you right here on the w. but how about getting rid of cars altogether in spain the northern city of they where there are has implemented a comprehensive plan to bad driving in

a large part of its historic center the radical change was controversial but welcomed by most of its citizens. no noise from motors no beeps just the sound of shoes on pavement and no cars to be seen it's just another normal day in the little spanish city of punter of adra with its eighty thousand inhabitants. foot but i never drive my car and i walk everywhere because part of a there is also an easy city to walk it's pretty flat the truth is it's really good for me and at the end when you get to see did it means more safety for children for old people and therefore i believe it's a wonderful initiative and they need to be you know. this city began the initiative twenty years ago. we changed the paradigm we said we aren't going to improve traffic we're going to recover public space therefore we took the spaces from private vehicles and increase space for people seventy something percent for

people twenty seven to thirty percent for cars so the city changed radically. and everyone seems to profit from it no traffic deaths there's seventy percent less c o two being produced it makes the city attractive and people are moving there in recent years twelve thousand people have settled down in point to be people here walk everywhere and breathe clean air while doing it. and example to fall as their money is struggling to find qualified workers the government and companies alike here are making it easier for foreigners to find a job that includes germany's renowned dual programs where you can go to class but apply the knowledge in an actual job at the same time if you're planning to come here to germany to work though a word of advice learn german first. these high school graduates come from hungary bulgaria it's only portugal croatia and spain on

a spending four weeks of their vacation and most. they're here to boost job opportunities whether here in germany or back home. the college combines academic studies with workplace training a unique concept. of why you study a subject you also learn how to apply that knowledge and practice on the job. this is think it's a big advantage because you already know the working environment when you've graduated that is. gary you can only learn the theory. but you have no option for doing an internship. either practical it's on my head. today the budding students can look forward to a meet and greet session with personal managers and training supervisors from local companies. those who make a good impression might be able to secure a work placement for their dual educational studies. as well then wonder in the

four companies it's an opportunity to recruit young people from other countries and ours were a company with international operations that's very important and we're happy when we're able to get personnel from abroad. the next day the students visit a furniture factory. they're here to get an inside look at one of the various part of firms of the bargain working co-operative state university and the tasks awaiting them. nina ferrari takes the group on a tour of the plant the twenty year old italian began her dual education degree in international business a year ago and she's already done a work placement with the furniture manufacturing. is with me doesn't matter why do it again the practical side was vital for me. i'm already familiar with a number of departments and enjoyed full access. from production to marketing moment on a mabel to get a better idea of what i'd like to do later stare. back at the college it's time to

give their german a polish the university began inviting high school pupils from foreign schools years ago on condition that they spoke good german. economy you know all of these are false it's all without prerequisite it just wouldn't work. if we were to invite young people with a basic german they'd have other challenges to deal with before being able to absorb what we're doing here. of the eight applicants for the program funds of non-secure to contract with one of the pollen of firms on the other three have also been offered training. and before we go the world's most expensive bottle of whisky described by experts as the holy grail has been sold for almost a million euros at an auction the macallan by lady you are the army went under the hammer in edinburgh the buyer was a private collector from asia the whisky was bottled in one thousand nine hundred six having been stored in a vat for sixty years before that only twelve bottles of vintage whisky were

produced it's not known how many of them are still around. so i'm going to go check my grandma's menu bar until then i will leave you with the business when everyone comes the next time.

a new house. belongs to. the polls. changes not to lose time seemed to side by. the little people who put big dreams on the big screen. team in the magazine monday to me. saying. what's coming up on book loosely you'll have plenty to talk about here until. the members league of the weekend here g.w. . are

we alone it's a fundamental question of humanity trying to figure out whether or not. life existed on mars pretty clear water was there and quite abundance while that would be and so on mars the atmosphere is one hundred of what we have here on earth it's very very cold and at the fast it's like antarctica you could imagine bringing some supplies and you know if you do controlled a little self-contained pressure vehicle or vessel which would be on the surface there are things like oxygen that you can harvest from the atmosphere to help make living possible. if you want to think of humanity if we really want to survive forever we're going to have through off the earth eventual am i know that seems a little crazy but you've got to start somewhere.
