shifting powers the topic in focus at the global media forum twenty nineteen the laboratory for the digital age. who are we following who do we trust to debate and shape the future at the georgia global media forum twenty nine t. the place may be for minds. who wins sunday's election in spain socialists lead the polls but the majority of voters uncertain especially the rural regions have lost trust in politicians we talked to an economic spokesman and candidate for the people's party. also on the show the port off of rotterdam struggles to prepare for any kind of brics it is an audio. and i welcome to do business i want to get jones in berlin good to have you

with us so spain is getting ready to vote in a new government on sunday recent polls show that the ruling socialist party could win reelection but a left wing government is far from certain with neither left nor right wing blocs on track to easily reach a majority now whoever emerges as the window will have to deal with a raft of problems including high youth unemployment and much needed investment in infrastructure especially in rural areas. it's rare to meet a politician on the lagunas ranch some one hundred miles outside of madrid but now they're fanning out across the countryside posing with tractors and pickup trucks their message to rural voters we're just like you locals however want something more concrete. you seem able to. like to see politicians who adopt measures so that the local population that lives here would feel more stable with unisys for example in internet communication that type of thing and i would really

like it if they reduce the bureaucratic red tape to this i mean it's a few voters here also want more schools and doctors as well as better links to the cities that last one is at the top of antonio veloce list he makes sheep's cheese and sells it across the region. she can i think if we can count on communication infrastructures motorways and high speed roads because i think in the countryside we could do many things. to do activities wherever they are could spring up and we could maintain the ones that are already here for example our business has been here for twenty five years we created seven jobs and are planning to keep going there. she did a whole. spaniards want more investment from the federal government but in recent years madrid has hardly been in a position to provide it the finance crisis ten years ago hit the e.u.'s fourth largest economy especially hard construction and housing were spain's dominant

industries back then their demise brought the country's banking sector to its knees and then the economy itself. spain's recovery has been difficult and incomplete the unemployment rate is the second highest in the e.u. every third person under twenty five is without a job. now should the people's party win sunday's election then he would be the government's new economy minister danielle chief economist at asset management firm tess. sees guest and economic spokesman and candidate for the p.p. and he joins us now via skype good to have you with us on the show your party who was in power until june twenty eighth even why should spanish notice now trust you against this. well first because as he very well said in the report of the spanish recovery still very fragile we have an economy that needs to continue to grow and continue to generate employment. we cannot go back to the

mistakes of two thousand and eight that the report was also mentioning quite well well the mistakes that the socialist government made in the previous eight years until two thousand and eleven that led spain to the biggest crisis of the economy which it compares if you look at the level of unemployment to the level of the races that spain underwent much worse than many of the economies that we compare ourselves with so i think that it is absolutely critical that ok stall a government coalition that tries to re return to those wrong policies ok but of course a lot of people would say that especially the p.p.p. p.p. is associated with all stary t. how does that fit together with growth. well first of all because the party that part of your book has done is to help the economy recover we can't

talk about austerity without looking at the excesses of the past and one of the mistakes that the socialist made in the eight years in which they were in power before all the crisis precisely to enter into massive imbalances in the economy and massive increases and spending and incoherent infrastructure and. him vestments that ended up creating larger piles of debt so what we need to do is to go back to the rational process which was actually what we were doing and what was in the budget and that funnily enough the socialist party voted against and then when after the motion of no confidence the socialist party b it came into power they actually included and using that same budget so funnily enough what they're doing in terms of infrastructure in terms of investment is what the popular party was doing and more importantly as the report was saying

what they have stopped is the investment in five g. in four g. i think what's that. got amended by the jet just just briefly let me get to that point of high unemployment because spain does have grabbed this predicted grades for this year of two point two percent that's not too bad why does it not work in order to create jobs. well it is i mean spain has been creating five hundred thousand jobs a year. on employment has been slashed since two thousand and twelve and we need to do more but we need to do more correctly work the socialist government has done at the beginning of this year is to massively increase taxes to job creators and massively put burdens to job creation. they have slashed. to employment they have slashed the age to create jobs for women and

for. to take people out of temporary ok so all of the. existed they have taken out an office i just preaching has done it like how their economic spokesman and candidate for the pete p. the people's party there we have to leave it at this point thank you so much for your time thank you very much it was a pleasure. now the white house has announced the end of waivers for countries to import iranian oil the us had three imposed sanctions against iran last year threatening to punish any country that buys iranian oil but he granted iran's aid to main bias of oil waved us to the sanctions allowed them limited purchases for six months there are fears that removing the sanctions waivers would reduce all supply to a market that is already tight but u.s. officials say any shortfall can be picked up by other countries as the u.s. itself and persian gulf ally saudi arabia recently increased production to trumpet

ministration has issued a blunt warning to nations buying oil from iran after may second there will be no exceptions to sanctions norway various nations that continue to buy iranian oil will be made to suffer more you are going to zero going to see or across the board . we will continue to monitor compliance any nation or entity interacting with iran should do its diligence on the side of caution the risks are simply not going to be worth the benefits pump aoe said the u.s. had granted enough time for the affected countries to wean themselves off a rainy and oil and find alternative supplier it's before washington reimposed sanctions against iran last year to run produced around two point three million barrels of oil per day that surround five percent of global i pushed until now washington had granted some importing nations waivers on the oil sanctions china

and india are the biggest buyers of rainy and crude recently they've stepped up their purchases along with south korea italy and greece on the other hand have managed to cut their demand turkey had been fighting until the last moment for sanctions waiver extension. pump it went on to say that there would be no grace period for those economies to comply despite sanctions iran's oil exports are said to have increased around twelve percent by the end of march but it's hard to say how accurate that figure is iran conceals the exact in mind by making good use of its armada of oil tankers the second largest fleece in the world. this is the break is over and that means bricks it is back on the agenda today the british government will resume cross party talks to find a consensus on britain's exit strategy the agreed to an extension of breaks it until the end of october but the u.k. can leave the bloc sooner if parliament can agree on

a way forward meanwhile britain's trading partners in the e.u. are grappling to prepare for any possible breaks at scenario. the port of rostered down is a major hub for trade between the u.k. and the rest of europe. the authorities here have already spent some one point five million euros preparing for breakfast. in dutch customs boston a net funds shelvin has been inundated with interview requests well we estimated it when there's a deal when there's a trade agreement we need at least seven hundred to fifty new people that's because there will be a border here if there's a no deal granted we will need over nine hundred new staff employees at the dutch customs at the store she's want to get a better idea of what goods are coming in to do so they're employing new technology

including scams that can monitor the contents of trucks and trains. as europe's largest ports rotterdam cannot afford to turn a blind eye to britain's upcoming to parch or from the e.u. for some documents embracing digital innovations to digital chain watch solution the digital border solution you can see so the idea is to players in the logistics chain for you know to fighter data towards the porch so that in the porch we can easily your full fuel sources for validation and when you arrive to the port that the barrier will be open instead of closed. goods destined for non even countries a group that will soon include the u.k. need to be registered online in advance companies that fail to do so aren't permitted to get their cargo anywhere near the ships. no matter what kind of threats it is on the cards here at the ports of russia down the priority is to make

the transition as smooth as possible. for now then something is postponing the launch of his hotly anticipated two thousand dollar folding phone after reports of break some earlier of us called the galaxy fold and usable just forty eight hours after receiving the device and the delay is a setback for some sun as it seeks to battle stiff competition from rivals like sure way and apple a new release dates is due to be announced in the coming weeks. and that is your business our day here on d w from me and the team in berlin thanks for keeping us company.

if he ever really set foot on the moon believe it or not there are still many conspiracy theorists who say the whole thing was a huge hoax and that the moon landing was actually acted out on a secret film set well far fetched as those theories might seen the film industry has taken them seriously enough we were in on the we are currently broke or far. well that's embarrassing to what this means next to the can't land man and come back. to cia agents were actually meant to uncover a russian spy of nasa but thanks to a wiretap they discover something much bigger you can make people do it but as they say if you can't make it fake it so the agent suggest faking the moon landing on.
