nation for all involved. and graduating from fishing to eco tourism guides me to this self-help group in maharashtra aiming to make a living and save the environment. welcome to do business asia want to get jones and berlin starting right away with a look at this latest example of the game changing use of new five g. networks just look at this. remote brain surgery in trying out the patient was in a beijing hospital the new resurgence three thousand kilometers away in the southern island province of heinen the live images and medical data were transmitted by a super fast five g. wireless network with video conferencing and other technology from who are way absolutely amazing well now europe also wants to use this technology but first it needs a suitable provider and today bidding for the radio frequencies necessary to roll out five g. started here in germany. but it's

a standing by for us in the city off mines where the auction takes place so hello to you paul is germany about to join this super fast five g. club. well we have to say it's finally about to join the club because others are already there south korea has been testing five g. at the olympics last year china and the u.s. are also far ahead and now this is the kick off for germany that doesn't mean we're going to get there fast though until twenty twenty two the upper operators who will get the frequencies have to cover about ninety eight percent of households here and a lot of still unclear for example our operators going to be able to use who are away technology who are away cell towers for example in order to build this infrastructure and there's

a lot of infrastructure that will have to be built all right to publish and that's reporting for us from minds with the bidding for five g. infrastructure is currently under play underway thank you so much. for one thousand six hundred years trade between china and europe traveled along the ancient silk route well now beijing has revived the ancient route president xi jinping has made the new silk road his pet project to boost to china's global influence by some estimates china has invested up to eight trillion dollars in the make a project that attract investors from all over the world including germany. this offshore wind farm is located in the north sea putting it on the fringes of the new silk road and mission of. frankfurt airport is largely owned by china's h.n. a group and nearby enthused plans are in place to build a so-called smart city authorities there are cooperating with chinese networking

giant wild way currently under fire from the united states as part of the project. is the fumin the new silk road is giving rise to new companies in the last few years more and more students from china are studying and working at universities here and they bring business opportunities they become freelancers or work in german or chinese companies do spoke in the region can really profit from that. china is promoting its large scale projects with leaders all over the world like at this new silk road event in beijing two years ago the country's message is that the initiative will benefit everyone but the berlin based more cato institute of china studies paints a different picture it says that in over two thousand projects worldwide around ninety percent of all contracts went to chinese companies. the internet's your own by them for years it's very important to understand the project's intention it's

about globalisation chinese style so making globalization work for the chinese government that means that chinese companies need to get contracts when market share and to help the country's economy grow along the way sort of oxen. large german firms are profiting at the moment as suppliers or service providers among them as deutsche of bonn which is involved in logistics and the belton road and mission of the country small and mid-sized companies on the other hand are worried they'll be cut out of lucrative markets huntsman head off has set up an association because he says the german government just hasn't provided enough support. indeed on the gulf if we don't watch out and make some positive progress if we continue to simply encounter these blockading policies especially from our economics ministry and foreign ministry than at some point we won't be asked any more we'll basically end up as little more than onlookers on the whole process. so

is the new silk road initiative a one way street infrastructure projects that long term will only benefit the chinese in europe and those questions are currently dividing opinion in the business community. they are challenging gender roles in india fisher women have become tourist guides and among growth experts earning their own money while also saving the bio diversity of their environment. if the morning the coastal town of otherwise quiet springs to life a tussle bustle of the fishing community trying to sell the latest scratch. but for two years now with small group of women is trying to hand at something you. believe that a better me but listen i had never even dreamt of growing abort the men in my family went to catch fish in the boats and really used to sell the catch in the

local market. i would never really considered the possibility of rowing a boat while everyone at. the homemaker and fisherman site psychotic is part of her ten member so for the group in very. a friendly boatwright's through the dance rush backwaters. this is significant because it is for the first time women from the town's fishing community who have very little formal education have come together to scientifically understand the language to having hated and create around us about preserving their. pit what's right to who lives idea to walk towards turning into an eco tourist a sedation very different from india spotty how sits just a hundred kilometer assault. with the help of the united nations development program and the local man who only brought together nine women to be part of the

first batch of tour guides under the stormy self elko. them. two boats and twenty life jackets the guides can accommodate twenty tourists the want to right costs about two u.s. dollars per person and office a wealth of information about the local biodiversity. in the book those however depend entirely on tourists and feel especially with mangrove fire diversity being such a niche interest that it could be that exactly there are some days when there are no rides for fifteen days at a stretch so to supplement this income our woman's self-help group makes spice mixes because sweets and savory's we deposit the money we receive from all our rights in the bank and we draw it at the end of the year and distribute it equally among ourselves they say already wear couldn't get. this woman even and have fed it

over two thousand five hundred tory since they started out in two thousand and seventeen and they don't intend to stop anytime soon. well for more i'm joined now by is that they're doing on deputy secretary general at the u.n. conference and trade and development in short you in the. event that that wonderful report about ten women changing their life's the lives of the families of the region but is it just a drop in the ocean no it is a drop of course in this case it's a drought but a lot of projects like that are existing ass reports and i think that it's so important because when women are involved in small communities the impact of the jobs created it's not going to jump create a torso and the effect of all of the community discord or the community problems the situation so i think that we are doing a lot we are not in the twenty foot down to twenty centry where we where support

things move very very dedicated project no we are supporting holistic of systemic project and you can do both all those the approach and vironment job they couldn't me and the families of the communities that i think that the women are probably the best to do that they are the best and it's ridiculous that in a society or an economy could neglect fifty percent of the population it's ridiculous for environment for jobs for i couldn't so we have to support that and it's not a drop even if this case of course it's ten women but yeah to ten women a matter of course you just mentioned a woman could how more how it would be ten men portman to just to support women and that is exactly what your organization is doing but in doing so obviously you also somewhat alter the culture. and that is a lot of the aid organizations are western based how big is the risk that the development work also basically alters the u.s.p. of the region i think that we can and we have to respect the spirit of course the

tradition the current cetera even if sometimes on some rules on somehow it's we have to try to hide the woman to change the things themselves for instance inheritance ownership of the land or something of heading a banking account or so. which are not possible everywhere in the world have to be changed that's not the current will aspect that's really a question of emancipation so we have to find a balance between the current of our habits and the capacity for woman to emancipate them self and to be really a player in the economy and not only in the. very perfect pair of free domain and how our outside impacts like trade disputes that we see right now between the u.s. and china between the u.s. and india certainly is brewing how does that impact your work it impact or not because of cause where when you increase the tariff between china and the u.s. or china or a part of the world you would have affected on the international trade that's probably the most the biggest problem is for the poorest countries because they are

the smaller players in the in the big game and they could be we need to control which reach which we pay the tribute of this dispute so i think that it's bad for mr theory but it's also bad for paul's countries we have thirty seconds left here in berlin for a number of engagements also speaking to the german bundestag development committee in one sentence your message try it could help for development absolutely and germany have to understand that when she understand very well support that but we have to do more to get the right is that they don't want their thank you so much for your time. and that's business asia here in the w for me in the team thanks for watching.
