south african officials aren't taking part in the press conferences and some participants want to talk about the attacks i think it should yes i think it should especially as really iconic now that we're having this meeting there are demonstrations about xenophobic attacks right outside the building i think it should be a focus point on the agenda to some participants the causes for south africa's problems are clear. it's inequality so i think it's inequality which is just in tune few the anger which is led to the protests but the inequality also rising from the unemployment so there's a real challenge of unemployment and inequality too many people feel that the alive it's and they feel that it's an issue of justice and fairness and. other people who could do so are the people that he can reach. the time may come when he can reach beyond those vulnerable people and they could be at the very struck just of the

global economy and people in this room what it does he make his truck so there will have to reopen ice that that means politicians of the world economic forum may not be able to turn a blind eye to the attacks in south africa. business consultant jeremy gaines joins us from our studios in frankfurt generally is just really one thing i'd like to know right now and that is is that a good time to do business in south africa and south africa i think it's always a good time to do business the opportunity is immense the country benefits from extremely good infrastructure easily to be breached from europe and little buyouts of unrest on going to change the structure of them they aren't going to change the fact that south africa's will sort of traditionally be the entry point into sub-saharan africa for german businesses are these just little bouts of violence

when when we see reprisal attacks in nigeria south african businesses they're having to close and investors quite concerned the ones i've spoken to at least as far as continuing to do business in places like cape town. the real question we need to be asking ourselves is what has caused these incidents of violence against nigerian retailers in particular there's been little light shed on that to date therefore until we know what is actually driving this violence we should wait in judgment and i don't think it's time to hastily abandon ship what about other even more serious topics like corruption something that does put off many companies from doing business not just in south africa but a cross the continent. i think on the topic of corruption we have to differentiate very carefully what we're talking about corruption is something that traditionally comes into play in my humble opinion as regards government contracts

where officials leverage now those contracts tend to be infrastructure come contracts large bulk orders and we've recently seen the world bank blacklist various chinese construction companies active in africa and in particular nigeria for corrupt practices if you turn to the private sector however to that traditional the main of assamese in germany and in africa where they are fast growing them we're looking at say manufacturing assembly plants the value added chain consumer goods that private sector is fairly impervious to corruption and therefore is not affected by it and those are the areas where german businesses are good and where german business is kind of course find partners in africa matchmaking needs to be done more i think that you very much for joining us some interesting insights there from jeremy gaines. thank you well germany has committed itself to

climate protection by 2030 it plans to sow 65 percent of its electricity from sustainable energy but it's a long and winding road to get there in the 1st half of these here almost 50 percent of german power came from sustainable sources wind energy is the key factor behind that it generates a quarter of all german electricity fumbled in solar power all hydroelectric plants wind power is now almost as important as coal a picture book success story you might think but all is not well in the sector hardly any new wind parks are being built in 26 think construction continue to pace as it did in 2017 but in 2018 newly installed capacity collapsed to need 2400 megawatts the 1st half of this year's sort almost grind to a halt the government is sounding the alarm and has called for a crisis summit to tackle the why array of problems the sec the county faces.

things aren't running as smoothly as they used to for when. there's another company has shut down send one of germany's oldest wind turbine makers and it probably won't be the last sector in germany is facing a perfect storm once upon a time it was the world's biggest market with guaranteed prices for the power generated but the 8 programs which got the turbines turning are over the business no longer profitable and getting worse. increasing regulation restrictions and long and complex planning approval of making new wind parks have a harder to construct. they're also dragging on business many here want green energy but not wind turbines or power lines in their own backyards. but power lines are essential to distribute wind power throughout the country the wind here is blowing up the road as a still as new power lines are constantly delayed so now the one time poster child

of germany's energy transition has become a poor orphan even though it's jobs know how and green energy are urgently needed now it's hoped a crisis summit of politicians companies and citizens will get the wind power flowing smoothly again. facing business or. it.
