only believe it once it opened what i heave my suitcase off the carousel. he's an expert on risky investments obviously the americans here take a risk because the law foods like also backfire. they can appear to be of the ocean this tour through central berlin was organized by the internet portal get your guide it's a platform for holiday activities it doesn't sound like high finance but the investors of pouring funding into the portal digitalize ation in the tourism industry promises billions in profits at get your guides ranking new offices we meet founder yohannes cake this year he's received half a 1000000000 euros from international venture capitalists that's an impressive sum for a german startup get your guides yearly sales still come to only around 100000000 euros. i think that in germany we think too much about expectations and pressure.

i'm thinking about building up a global market leader. and that is much more exciting than driving yourself crazy thinking about what might happen if it doesn't work out the way we expect. and that's for sure rex biggest investor is must say oshie son the head of japanese holding company soft bank raises money worldwide for his vision fund investments the biggest foreign sources of the u.s. and saudi arabia vision funds investment capital of 187000000000 euro news is distributed to startups in america and asia companies that promise good growth and need money to expand but doesn't have to come from saudi arabia which is under fire internationally for human rights abuses i know it's you i don't have a relationship with saudi arabia but with softbank and we agree on where the market is headed. our product helps people get to know the world and soft banks money is well invested here. another investment project that seems to be neverending

ballons new airport. actually it was originally scheduled to open in 2011 but the date has been pushed back repeatedly since then and 2014 past the airport was supposed to go into operation the current slated date is october 2020. 1. i can tell you that the construction site is finished since april or may the technical inspectors have been looking at the individual facility and testing the ones that are responsible for fire safety for over 2 years we've been on schedule it's working. mistakes shoddy work and corruption pushed the price of building the airport way above the original projection of 2000000000 euros the costs of amounted to 7300000000 euros i'm counting. the airport foreseen by the

original plan was too small so an extension had to be built it's germany's most embarrassing construction project recently from we have to deliver we're trying of course given the history of the airport so far it's no wonder that no one will believe us until we prove it. a momentous handshake by its acquisition of nonsense who was the biggest foreign takeover in german history the stakes were high for bio which paid 54000000000 neurons and also acquired responsibility for the more than 18000 lawsuits and monsanto did by underestimate the risk buying one time to know probably it's much much cheaper than buying monsanto say like 2 or 3 years when all the lawsuits finally are solved so obviously the matters here take a risk because the law foods might also backfire and incur significant costs for them basically ignore them to the reputation except true but at the moment it's

a very interesting and attractive investment some courts have said monsanto's life is state based herbicide roundup causes cancer it's still unclear how much liability by a faces that will determine if the costly takeover was worth it so will it prove a bold investment or just a reckless one. and what some call crazy others of us clever or a stroke of genius and indeed looking back some of the biggest business successes in history come down to a quickie entrepreneur who took the right risk at just the right time perhaps misfits are the most creative and successful people in business out of the box thinkers sometimes have ideas that change the world. crazy maybe but certainly successful. many of the world's most gifted minds were called crazy at some point. despite that maybe because of that these ones made it right to the top

. at the start of the 20th century there was american engineer henry ford the revolutionize the automotive industry with the moving assembly line production was cheaper than ever everyone could afford his cars what's more he only made his staff work 5 days a week and paint them generously but he was no dream boss ford wanted total surveillance he was known as the benevolent dictator the head of a department at ford was required to know everything about his workers including what they ate and how they lived for its behavior was extremely controlling and manipulative. in post-war germany and tell you how blessed co-founded a discount supermarket called. people to take vitamins off the shelves themselves allowing for fewer staff and cheaper products the concept was

a huge success and tell you i'll press wealth grew and grew but i'll bet it was still fanatically frugal stingy event whoa betide the employee who ordered too many pens for didn't use the paper on both sides he had no empathy whatsoever for his stuff. one time it was kidnapped and he even claimed the ransom money he paid as tax deductible. his obsession with saving drove stores into disrepair managers and he dared to renovate after he died. today many think it's a draw to silicon valley space x. founder long musk has proposed the hyperlink passenger transport a super high speed pneumatic tube train he also wants to colonize mars for musk and his workers there's just one rule business 1st family time only if the company goes bust the tycoon can be a real live wire is bad tempered tweets have given his company's shares

a bumpy ride over the years so what's the one thing that unites all these crazy minds they're all men maybe the great women out there are just better at keeping it together or should we conclude that madness is male. interesting question too risky to answer on there well not taking risks can also be risky take the german economy europe's powerhouse it's managed to weather one crisis after another thanks to its strong export sector the country is taking in what tax revenue than its spending leaving room to maneuver but at the same time investments in schools and infrastructure affording behind why because germans don't like going into debt despite negative interest rates on sovereign bonds the government is sticking to its mantra of a balanced budget but critics warn that too much for galatea could cost germany

dearly in the end. the black 0 here in germany that's what we call a balanced budget it's a good thing it means stability at least according to the government so when the steering wheel. but today i'm meeting someone who wants to bury the blight 0 in this we need to move on from this crazy idea that saving is always good and that is always bad there's a what he means is germany urgently needs to invest and if it needs to borrow to do so that's fine if it helps boost the economy. the president of the german institute for economic research one of the most influential economists in germany for a long something to show him. the transistor pocho we've brought along a black 0 you're not a fan right and it's unfair because you know i'm not per se it depends on

a balanced budget shouldn't be an end in itself it's fine when the economy is thriving but we're in the 3rd quarter of 2019 and technically we're in a recession that's why the 2nd quarter with negative growth so the politicians need to act they need to do something to stabilize the you can't. we need to secure jobs that's the real issue the black 0 is all very well but it's basically a fetish. every year since 2014 the german state's revenues have been higher than its expenses even though public services like schools and hospitals are underfunded railways too. we need to move on from this crazy idea that saving is always good is always bad the opposite is true when times are tough we need to invest so that people can keep their jobs and we can guarantee stability.

so keeping the future in mind the future and also future generations that's what we need to do that's my point think of me i'm 30 and i keep hearing about the mounting debt that it will be up to me to pay off. why is that. state depends on substance in other words that might have been reduced but assets of the value of streets and bridges public institutions knowledge of capital social housing all of that has been squandered devalued in the past 15 years the state has invested too little to maintain that value so as a 30 year old in the future you have less value. doesn't even factor in the environment the climate. that. the german state is investing more in environmental protection than it has in recent years it's working towards long term climate goals but it's already clear it

won't hit its 2020 targets. that's an embarrassment for a country that's made such a lot of its environmental credentials and it could have been different the technology exists there's been rapid progress in the past few years so right now we urgently need more investment energetic. renovation of buildings electricity grids we also need a new transport policy we need to do away with combustion engines and carbon intensive technology and embrace carbon neutral and emo billeted this needs to become a top priority and that requires funding. the failure to invest can't even end up costing money take us entrepreneur so recently he had to store important data on a u.s.b. stick because he had such a slow internet connection. when it comes to digital infrastructure german investment is lagging seriously behind you. in terms of future

technologies we're missing opportunities. that doesn't change soon then the future will belong to china and the u.s. . especially in the areas of digitalisation and artificial intelligence. is it you're a keen bungee jump or so you're obviously not risk averse but there's always an element of risk with investing can go wrong. investment is always a risk but life is high risk or germany wouldn't be as successful as it is it wouldn't be as wealthy as it is and it's comparatively robust if germans hadn't taken risks taking risks doesn't mean acting blindly you need to take calculated risks in order to make economic and social progress. is a shop fronts. so germany is successful but it's squandering its success by not investing enough in its future

well that's a shame because there are great ideas around a startup in berlin has developed a kite that generates electricity as its source but the fed needs investors technological prowess and it has to keep a keen eye on the competition. this truck could help solve the energy problems of the future. it generates electricity from wind power on a level that no wind turbine can achieve. its vision is to develop the technology and scale it to a size that can keep up with today's when turbines. we're starting small and have a long way to go and we're always starting over. a telescopic arm connected to the truck holds in guides the kite soon it should be

able to climb hundreds of metres and fly. that's what the developers in berlin are currently working on. the big challenges programming the computer so that it can steer the kite with these cables and. the generator that produces the electricity is in the truck under the cable drums they hope it will one day replace inefficient diesel generators. turbines are fixed to the ground. the kites will be connected to a base station and fly up to 300 meters in the air the wind is stronger and more steady at that height. their development laboratory is on the campus of the technical university of berlin. the engineers started experimenting with fabric kites in 2012. when the kite goes up

the rope turns the generator drum and generates electricity. then the kite is pulled in again which consumes very little power it's like a yo yo going up and down. over all that creates a surplus of electric. most of their time is spent doing calculations or in the workshop. they built the kite and all the technology themselves and they're always having to redesign and optimize. as a. motto is to make as many mistakes as possible in a short a time as possible but i was only once. and we have to learn and the mistakes make us smarter and they make the product safe has it here. they've been working on the carbon tight since 2017 or so we're going have already invested over a 1000000 euros in the prototypes but it's still not finished. the wind energy

summited hamburg is the team's chance to find new investors. yeah that's not just we're asking investors to acquire a stake of up to a 1000000 euros this year so we can turn the technology into a product that can be successfully brought to market that. there's plenty of competition working hard on rival products borman will have to win people over. to deliver something nothing else. other developers are working on gliders instead of kites. several companies are in a race to produce the best technology and to secure global investors. they've done it they've found the venture capitalists who are willing to continue investing yet still the courts we're close to seeing whether what's been developed

over the past couple of years really works and if we get the feeling that it does work then we'll provide the next round of funding i'll be in for sure we don't anything. will this make you richer. because i have added a i don't know about rich or. i don't have a lot of capital but i invest a little money in renewable energies part of that. once a week the developers drive to the airfield they haven't made much progress with flying yet. they often started midnight when there's more of a steady wind the team is feeling the pressure. they need to make the kite fully automated but the technology is not cooperating. the investor is getting impatient he's come over to see for himself.

sometimes competitors making progress start to get nervous. but then you come back and see how it's working out. confidence again. after months of tests the self steered by the cables and stabilized by the computer now they have to program the computer to carry out all the flight maneuvers alone. the next step is the most critical. to be very precise little mistakes get punished in a big way but we've been practicing for so long it's become routine by the end of the month we'll be able to get the kite flying really high. to still flying just

a few meters away from the arm but once the computer learns to guide the properly it should start flying higher and generating electricity. the people of britain took a risk with bricks it businesses certainly spooked by the uncertainty some companies are moving jobs to the continent but there are also those who are betting that investment in britain now can pay off big time with breaks it only slightly worsening the odds are they out of their minds reporters went to find out. london in the summer of 2019 a tumultuous time for the city nobody knows yet just how much more tumultuous it will get what we're all getting closer to finding out. we're looking at less than 3 months to go before a potential window fuel prices but maybe we're not the prime minister could lose a vote of confidence plus purring fresh election or there could even be

a 2nd right the referendum that returns the question of it to the people or the u.k. could choose to unilaterally revoke article 50 about counseling right that tries to say there's a lot of uncertainty and you know a business hurts you've got it certainty. that's why assets worth 800000000000 pounds are being shifted from the u.k. to that you that's about 861000000000 euros. a growing number of companies has said that they're moving headquarters parts of the operations jobs are asked that out of the u.k. after brags that several companies have done some or all of those things. but not everyone else already is the u.k. general manager and 26 additional bank these companies charging towards london at a time when others are backing away i want to know why but i had a burning question to get out of the way 1st are your friends afraid you look into their account. more than one of them so

i mean. yes i have the question obviously is there's a lot of there's a lot of security restrictions we have in place and it would be highly inappropriate of me to be there and not say it is not something that i do you rolled out the service in the u.k. in november of last year for example uncertainty was already a thing so why are you coming when so many others are going we launched to write the. in november of 2018 but already there have been over a year of planning that went into so launching researchers who big and competitive all now throughout that whole period of kools we knew what the results of the referendum was. i'm out was we want to come here regardless of whatever happens with the outcome of this will still be a place which has 60000000 people living in new cage really one of the most structured markets force in the world what made and 26 decide to go for it at this particular moment and not until after everything was clarified what we did not want

to do as a business is just on the side and wait 1234 years let's. our plans be dictated by politics playsuit is totally out of our control so rather than trying to wait whenever that deadline is a mess and then having some certainty that's be flexible. operate how we kind of i mean saw. and masses are what we do. businesses are in a unique bind the lack of clarity makes it a strange time to invest in the u.k. but opting out of what is still one of the world's most important markets seems ill advised to michael hewson chief market analyst at c.m.c. markets has been following brags that impact on business closely business is need to take a pragmatic approach and i think they need to plan for the most probable outcome and not the actual outcome businesses can stop growing and can't stop innovating they still need to be able to move their business model forward now obviously the

current impasse doesn't help with respect to that but what the what business is can't do is stop innovating stop creating new products stop planning the new markets what do you think is the best government make up possible in the u k. not the current set up that's for sure we want some form of government that can actually govern the key decisions in opening night you know there is no room for anything else policy wise apart from bricks so i think at some point between now and the end of the year we'll get a general election the hope is that general election will bring about a pro-business new government how the government looks i don't know. london in the summer of 2019 from what i can see it's business as usual but i can't tell for how long firms that are betting on britain have to hope for the best and brace for the worst possibly the only sane way to be in

a crazy era. or to quote another slightly tweaked saying much times call for. all that's all the risk i'm willing to take on this edition of made for me and the team in berlin thanks for keeping us company a bank. good

battle over breaks it about to begin members of parliament are vowing to use next week to pass legislation to stop the country from crashing out of the european union on october 31st next week may be the only time they have yesterday prime minister boris johnson announce that he will suspend parliament for 5 weeks ending just before breaks it is scheduled to begin opposition in some conservative lawmakers call the move an abuse of power designed to prevent parliament from preventing a new deal breaks it next week m.p.'s could try to pass legislation requiring another break that extension there is also talk of a no confidence vote to bring down the prime minister and his government to allow a general election now none of this has a guaranteed outcome what is certain tonight is that online an online petition demanding that parliament debate its own suspension it now has more than 1500000 signatures anough requiring westminster to act protests against the suspension of

parliament they are planned for the weekend they are expected to be bigger than the spontaneous protests we saw yesterday. these are critical we don't get boris johnson any option to any more bizarre wild interventions to prevent home exercisers democratic wrongs it is really time that's why bush also drove him home and so that we tried to deny us the time to have thought there was just enough if peace to take that responsibility seriously and i was not supposed to as well but he's going to talk and for more on the legal aspects of this i'm joined tonight by dr joe well grover a senior lecturer in law at middlesex university or to bergen is going to have you on the show let's let's talk about time is the clock working against parliament now does parliament have only next week to stop its own suspension. very

simply yes so let's start with the legal facts on the 31st of october 29th unless something else happens and that something else has to be legislation from the british parliament the u.k. will withdraw without a deal to see no deal breaks it on the 31st of october the parliament in order to avoid the situation has to legislate to do so but with this use of what is otherwise an ordinary power there's a correctness in saying it's an ordinary power but for using it to give 5 weeks of suspension 5 weeks with activate 5 weeks without any means of creating that legislation and avoiding any kind of no deal breaks that we're facing to a very simple question of there is little or no time so there's some very important points to think about that for days it was just mentioned that the parliament will resume it'll come back from its summer holidays summer recess and the start of a temper and it will probably program on the 10th of september if those few days

are the very end of this parliamentary session any legislation which has not reached through both house of commons and house of lords and become law by that date is dead it will not continue into next session but now the important and you would use if i could interrupt there were saying next week then parliament that's the only time it has to stop the suspension but we're talking about a full week and correct me if i'm wrong but i mean the mother of all parliaments certainly could come up with legislation in a week to prevent its own suspension right. so we're going to be looking at is what's called standing order $24.00 it's bringing emergency debate spring emergency legislation now the problem and this is a problem that we face in the u.k. for essentially almost 3 years is consensus you can absolutely bring in legislation but only if you have a majority in both the house comments and that has

a lloyds now what opposition are going to be facing with for those few days is potentially filibustering and that's the house of commons and house of lords just done down that clock so that legislation will die in the house of commons or the house of lords at the point that parliament is suspended there's such little time we might see one of my favorite times parliamentary ping-pong where piece of legislation is going to bat very quickly between the 2 houses but again that is very little parliamentary time to get such important legislation through well. sir if that is the case then. in your esteemed opinion is anything going to happen next we can stop this is major they can stop in new york city. so right now we're discussing the 3 difference legal ways in which program the suspension is stopping a part of this stopping of debate can happen the 1st is the courts the courts

actually we have 3 challenges going on right now one of which is being spearheaded by gina miller but this is going to be a big constitutional question in and of itself because this power to prorogue is actually of royal power it's something that's exercised by the queen upon advice of the government upon advice of the prime minister we could have actually seen a constitutional crisis yesterday in the u.k. had the queen refused the advice of governments now what gina miller and all the other litigants in these cases are going to try and do is challenge that advice say that that given by government to the queen was illegal that it was an unlawful use it was an abuse of a power of government we're also potentially and this is why the opposition are going we're going to try and see legislation legislation try to focus on of voiding and no deal breaks that now in order to avoid a no deal break that it's not to say we vote against it no deal breaks it you have

to vote for an alternative you need legislation for an alternative and more than that and this is what time comes and again if you want either an agreement with the e.u. the e.u. with joint agreements you'll need a qualified majority of the european council to meet and agree with you you need legislation saying we want it what's all agreement and the european council and the last european council meeting before brags that it's on the 17th and 18th of october now part comes back on the 14th but it's going to spend the 1st 5 days talking about the queen's each year not necessarily about it was just and this is i mean is that what it also sounds very bleak dr grogan let me ask you about this suggestion that was made today there is what's known as a humble address to the queen where parliament compounce a motion asking the queen to stop this program this poor gaijin why not do that she gives the solver. this this comes back to the crew are

essential this is why we're talking about such fundamental questions of the u.k. constitution the queen is not political in fact the queen is an institution monarchies and his situation in the u.k. has not been political in hundreds of years the last time the queen a queen it was queen victoria stepped in and changed the prime minister it caused a crisis now your rights correct in saying that the prime minister the government are appointed by the queen do not vote and by people they're pointed by the queen and a humble address in my humble opinion will bring the queen into such an extreme political and almost a crisis situation forcing an apolitical body to make one of the most important political decisions certainly in a century dr 0 gergen senior lecturer in law at middlesex university laying out tonight tell the clock is definitely working against westminster tonight dr we

appreciate your insights thank you. for you know they really want to kick you out when they are willing to get into bed politically with people they have despised for years well that could be going through the mind of italy's far right interior minister salvini tonight 2 former political rivals the anti-establishment 5 star movement and the center left democratic party well they're now attempting to join forces to create a new coalition government and to avoid a new election but what is really forcing these photos to become friends is their desire to leave my bales of being the elder of politics and out in the cold he exudes calm but just as he conti has been on a wild ride 3 weeks ago he lost his job as prime minister when italy's governing coalition fell apart now he's been tasked with putting together a new government in a thimbleful of the country.
