partnership or c p t p p for shores now they signatories are meeting in chile to take stock of the decision. here so secretive b.p. has a strategic significance not just because of the tangible benefits is brings to their respective countries to create the road it's a pretty p.-p. place is that part is an important part of the global jigsaw puzzle for us to promote a more open and ruby's trading system and to resist that type of isolationism and protectionism those sentiments were echoed by other ministers who looked at the deal for enabling member states to increase exports and raise growth forecasts in the 1st quarter of its validity all together it was a powerful display of multilateralism from the countries forced to wave goodbye to a free trade deal with the world's most powerful economy. by here's a surprise germany is among the top destinations for i.t.

specialists despite the country's poor reputation when it comes to digital networks and that's according to a new study by the boston consulting group which polled 27000 people in $180.00 countries the u.s. is the top country destination for digital exports worldwide while about a 3rd of those polled chills germany focusing on cities the study found that london is the most popular place for digital exports followed by new york and berlin. and for more let's cross over to pun day our financial market correspondent in france that ushered us what makes germany's so attractive. money got to begin with there's a huge demand for these professionals in germany as its manufacturing sector goes digital remember germany's late to the party so many of these medium sized companies are now going digital so there is a huge demand there but i also spoke to many of these take on entrepreneurs in berlin and they have very practical explanations for why they are in bali firstly

it's cheap which we both can actually watch for do the prices of accommodation is going up in the past few years but they also feel that it's a very international city and they can they can find like minded people to network with and it's a very vibrant city that's what they say but they still feel that there is a lot of bureaucracy involved the language is still a concern and most of the forms that they have to sign unfortunately in german yes all that red tape just very briefly as to where are they actually coming from. it's not very difficult to guess they're coming from india and china these people are immigrants from highly skilled immigrants from india and china are the highest recipients of permanent residency in germany and most of these. higher education also the students for these are also coming from china and india so there are going to be many professionals who are going to hit the market which we'll hear india and

china ok i should respond a day from frankfurt stock exchange thank you so much. australia has been one of the world's west carbon polluters the capital it's the biggest exporter of coal and climate change cost the last prime minister his job no doubt energy policy is a potent issue going into tomorrow's federal election. greenpeace activists took their protests to sydney's harbor bridge to demand the country's prime minister declare a climate emergency. australia is on the front lines in the struggle with climate change. a strike is already experiencing climate emergency and severe climate damage. and the number one cause of peace climate damage is already harming so many struggling families is call. coal is one of us trillions most important exports with much of it leaving from

abbot point the world's largest coal harbor. many of the ships bound for china are speeding up the great barrier reef destruction. climate change is also far enough australia's elections climate change effects or hard to ignore here the adani coal mine is one of the conflicts epicenters. i have friends and family working in the mines up in north queensland and i 100 percent understand their concerns and bad stopping call like it's a huge industry up there i understand that but i think this issue is more important than just single electorates i think it involves all of us trail yeah but it's really is really in conservative party isn't willing to give up on coal just yet it's still produces 75 percent of the country's power and brings in billions in export capital. and stronger storms force fires and droughts and doesn't respect a little to sway them. for more i'm joined in

a chair of the german australian business council good to have you with us so germany is of course pushing for renewables while australia is holding on to coal power how do you deal with that. well from a business perspective what we shouldn't forget has actually been quite a lot of push at the state level in australia for renewable energy is this well we've seen a lot of german and a european business in the broadest sense and move into a strike here invest into a strike it's just not at the federal level so from a what we would like to see as this in this is from the from the government is more stability and also a bit more of a concept at the federal level a bit more of a. concerted approach rather than a haphazard approach you know you talk about stability there's no political stability there is yet again and election what does all of that mean for investors . well you know generally there is always

a bit and sort of bit of uncertainty involved in the elections for investors and i know that the number of investors have been waiting have been awaiting the outcome of the election but generally look i think in terms of environmental issues and also energy issues. there is a we do find there is a direction in towards renewables and i do think that whatever the outcome of the election will be. once there passed there will be more stability and more and more of an environment for for stable investment and do you think that the free trade deal that australia's currency to go she ageing with europe going to make any difference. well it is part of the negotiations so there is obviously various chapters in this free trade agreement but one of them is trade and sustainability and also energy and materials so whatever the outcome of course

of the the negotiations will be we do not yet know and that's remains to be seen but it is on the agenda and also in the broader since we very much in favor of this free trade agreement because we are expecting a fair bit of a push even more so than has been in the past full of relations ok their share of the german australian business council thank you so much for your time. thank you. can you turn a turban into me a fashion accessory 6 men who traditionally wear turbans as part of their identity have a clear answer they say no you can't well but that's exactly what fashion label gucci has done and has come under fire for what critics call the appropriation of a religious symbol for profit at milan fashion week the label put a 6th turbans on models and they appeared later on an american retailer site selling for nearly $800.00 provoking an outcry on social media

and that is where my colleague peter dials coming in to social media is your expect used what exactly other say. well as you said this is really not going down well with the sikh community the policy director of colorado of the colorado seeks tweet it this anyone one explain to me why gucci thought selling a turban for 7 $190.00 was a good idea this is not some fashion accessory this is just very off another see grating this is beyond activating that someone at gucci even bother to figure out what it does start with the actual name of the head where means to see it across from once you consider the history behind are dead any white people are discriminated against even killed for wearing a turban and what she's referring to there is you know especially since $911.00 sikhs have been the target of numerous hate crimes because they're often mistaken for muslims so there's been incidents of threats they've been beaten in history

stays in some cases even killed so it's a very sensitive issue for that very sensitive issue i mean it's not the 1st time that gucci is getting itself into trouble is it no certainly not and you could almost be excused for thinking maybe this is just duties new thing just back in february gucci came under fire for selling this it was supposed to be a balaclava what most people saw was a you know a black face you know like i'm serious i think it's back in the 19th twenties used to mock and imitate black people. gucci was forced to pull that sweater issue an apology. so yeah it's just there is there a strategy i mean is it like you know better talk about aspect of the outrage but that sells products could that be it you know yeah i mean it's it's certainly beginning to look like that almost right i mean not long ago age and then was heavily criticized after running an ad showing a black boy wearing
