knock them out because resignations are a sign of escalating tensions between hong kong's ruling executives and the pro-democracy movement, which is determined to show the fight is not have a yet. i've got one, i got both of you watching the news coming up next. g.w. business news with watch as to why are people sourced to hide in trucks? there are many presents, such as, there are many cancers. the

1st 6. and there are many stories make up your oh, job you made for mines. as china continues to face accusations of human rights violations, we reports from western companies including folks foreign are coming and the pressure of their operations in the region. also coming up germany's constitutional court rules against the government, nuclear phaseout compensation program breaches the fundamental rights of companies

and company which as those surface a few should not exist. that's very real outgoing. siemens fossil joe kayser tells us he has few regrets over his controversial 7 years of to help business in berlin. welcome to the program hour. we begin with a report from one of the most secretive places on the planet. the chinese government continues to ignore criticism of the vast network of detention camps in the northwestern region of jack. more than a 1000000 people, mainly weaker muslims, are thought to have been detained. there. folks foreign is among the western companies being criticized by human rights groups for continuing to invest in the region. for the german carmaker has defended its decision to remain in shin chang correspondent matthew sperling. a report were empty,

the capital of china's western seems young region to weakest and other minorities. this is one of the most heavily policed regions in the world. china's repressive policies against ethnic minorities have been called a genocide zone room. she is also home to german carmaker folks of arms most controversial investment. w. is the only international car maker to have a plant in the region that would be and shut off. we made the decision to build this factory more than 10 years ago. it was a decision made solely for economic reasons. there was no political motivation factor. there is no in a politically and socially centered them environment worries, as china has covered the region with a massive system of prisons, internment centers and reeducation camps. australia's asp institute has documented $380.00 facilities across the region. hundreds of thousands, possibly millions have disappeared in these facilities on

a recent visit and constantly followed around and stopped from filming some of the facilities of official prisons, some are unmarked, and some cynically designated as bookish trains. there are several levels of security from high security prisons to just fenced compound. kyra, some iconic cars are born in china has spent several months in one of these so-called vocational schools in 2018. what they had to learn there had little to do with professional skills. he says, we make it in this camp, we had to sing the chinese anthem and other communist songs. they taught us that china was the strongest country in the world, and we had to study materialism of the 19th communist party congress. that's in there. what china is portraying the mass detentions as

a means to provide opportunities on the job market. but there is growing evidence of forced labor inside the camps or after release when former detainees have been forced to sign up with employment agencies. v.w. says there's no indication of forced labor and its operations have, a shift in the law to direct c., but we hire all our employees directly. they send their resume and we have a job interview. and then the hate charge department and the operating department make a decision based on the resume and the impression they gave me was happened to them before is something that is hard for us to know this stuff or as yet this is through an extreme shriya enough to footy, chinese authorities are aware of the controversy my mind to stay in their car this time, but they call a factory. god will get round. filming is not allowed here. it's a good day. just tell, you know, i saw you from my window coming out. what did they tell you then?

however, they just supervise our work. v.w. says it will stick to its investment, but the controversy is likely to remain economic levy. w.'s investment never paid off. it was planned to build $50000.00 cars a year here, but its output is less than half that sticking with china and thursday was supposed to be the deadline for a chinese tech company by stands to sell its u.s. at tick tock. so as that happen, let's cross to our financial correspondent in new york yen score to yen. so what's the latest on this yet, according to one news source or to talk is so wondering if the u.s. administration has forgotten about the band. well, that would be understandable if it was this political situation that we've seen after the election to be on the safe side to talk,

went in front of an appeals court to file for an extension 30 day. and they are also questioning the executive order of u.s. president donald trump. i believe it was back in august. so yes, we still don't know what's going to happen with a tick tock so far at the service is some continuing and i have the impression tick-tock will try to get some time and maybe make it up to generally 20 years when probably a u.s. president. then joe biden will be sworn in, so all of that might be the tactic of a tick tock, but so far, no word from washington. what's going to happen was the service he ends, we've had the latest u.s. jobless think is new applications for unemployment benefits down 48000 last week that said bigger drop than alison expected. so what's behind this improving picture? yeah, well i mean that's what we've seen for the past couple of weeks and months. the job market is improving step by step,

but still we are ahead of the print of pandemic records that dated back to 982 when we had a little less than 700000 of those some applications. and that's where we are still standing. and overall we still have more than 20000000 americans who are receiving aid one way or the other. so the picture is getting a bit brighter, but well, it is still not great and to now was winter approaching. the big question is, if this situation in the u.s. labor market actually might get a bit worse. so all the good news is yes, the numbers came in better than expected, but the picture is definitely still not bright. thanks for bringing us up to date a german government compensation scheme for energy companies hit by the planned nuclear phase out will have to be completely reworked this after the constitutional

court here found in favor of energy firm fattened fowl saying the scheme violated its fundamental rights germany began its phase out after the fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011. the swedish company can hope there'll be more financial compensation on the way for decommissioning. its nuclear power plant compensation for investments that became redundant. soon after the reactor meltdown in fukushima in japan. the german government in 2011 said it was reducing the certified life spans of the country's 17 nuclear plants for safety reasons, but also had 2 plants in clement bones, brittle in northern germany. at the moment, only 6 nuclear generators are active in germany. they're all slated for compulsory shutdown by 2022. button for has not restricted its legal activities to germany. it's also taking its case to the international center for settlement of

investment disputes at the world bank where it's also demanding billions of euros compensation for the loss of its power stations. staying in germany and industrial giant, siemens has posted billions of euros in profits for the last financial year. despite the coronavirus pandemic battering parts of its business, its bottom line showed net profits of 4200000000 euros. that's a quarter less than the previous year or less half the profit came from the recent spin off of siemens energy, the biggest cases final year in charge. he's exiting siemens to be replaced by roland, by the outgoing chief executive has been speaking today to be a business. we asked joe kayser how he sought to find a balance between satisfying shareholders and being a socially responsible company. but the old way of, of thinking, you know, the presence of business is business, meaning don't care about anybody,

just about cello value. that's outdated and it should have never been that way. a company which does not serve society should not exist. that's my view. so we have to have a societal value. and if you look at the stakeholders, employees cost them a shareholders, the 3rd edition, they're the ones that he said, new constituency, and that's the society. so they have to say they want to, you know, have companies, performances, they inability, they want their companies to be responsible. they do not want companies to just fire people, because there's a pandemic issue, which is of the nature which can be, which can be defeated. ok so that south korea has carried out successful tests of flying taxi jones in the capital seoul, the unmanned to see, to act craft flew for 7 minutes at an altitude of 50 meters. once fully operational, the drones were cut 40 minutes off the journey time from the international airport to the city. the demonstration is part of the country's road map or perhaps much of

the flight plan to commercial urban travel. by 2025, m. plans for a new highway in kenya's capital have hit a snag all because of a century old fig tree. it was due to be routed to make way for a support pillar for the chinese funded roads. but a government spokesman announced that following an outcry, a presidential decree had been issued protecting the tree, which is the height of a 4 story building. now the china road and bridge corporation and kenya's highways both already have agreed to rewrite the route the road around it is the only did that with the route. so for me, in the business team, thanks a lot for tourists

into the conflict zone to sebastian. good news, prime minister boris johnson is on the file. once again, no beliefs from members of his own conservative party. my guest this week here in london is one of his junior m.p.'s big mouth follow me elected to parliament 3 years ago. come mr. jones, on the whole, to use carbon slides in the opinion,

polls, and what will the party do if you come to conflicts of 60 minutes on t.w. every day campus for us and for our planet. and the idea is on its way to bring you more conservation plays. how do we make seduced? greener? how can we protect animals and their habitats? what to do with the worst? we can make a difference by choosing reforestation over deforestation recycling over disposable smart new solutions for overstaying said in our lives to her is truly unique. and we know that their uniqueness is what allows us to live and survive. global ideas be a monumental susumu, global 3000 on t.w. . and on coronavirus crisis

cinema, the new normal is making life good for the film industry. going to war the lights going out for the lines going on for the cinema and our topic this week. arts and culture on d. w this again state of the news africa on the program today. ethiopians fleeing the government military operation in the northern region up to grab it off, pouring into sudan by the thousands. the un is warning of a humanitarian crisis. and despair and raised in that goal with protesters violently catching with police people at agri about mass unemployment and the

rising cost of living plants. slinging bowls of seeds with a capital health kenya solve the country's deforestation crisis. hello, i'm christine wonder. it's good to have your company. the united nations is warning of a growing humanitarian crisis, as in ethiopia, as fighting continues between federal troops and regional forces in the northern region off to cry. about same 1000 peons have fled to neighboring sudan fia's off a civil war. all growing. both sides have seen casualties. it's to made it hundreds, have died. communications remain, cut off imagist, about thousands of people donated blood to adolph federal soldiers battling to grey and forces. and then on tuesday, ethiopian television broadcast,

these images off national forces in the region. prime minister made ses, they have now liberated parts off to cry. for more on the developments in ethiopia, i'm joined by samuel, get a chill. he is a journalist based in that have a so i deserve a welcome to news africa's samuel. what is going on into griet the moment? well, there are thousands of ethiopia going to the sudanese border because the conflict is just looking forward to people who the united nations is saying up to 200000 may be affected if the conflict goes forward. you may know there is an air strike up being all over this. to break out will be huge. something we've never seen in such a long time and

a country that has known conflict for a many, many generations. ok, right. as you live right there with food into some of the people that are feeling dandified officials in sudan say that they're not coping with the overwhelming numbers. there is also a big ever trained community. these are refugees who are in, i ain't how they been. it being a fix it we all know exactly how they will be affected because you don't tell me that foreign connection has been suspended, but we can guess there are, there will be affected in a much worse case because there always a new deal being in need of shelter, and unless there is a movement of food and all kinds of aid coming back and forth, which has been again suspended, there will be the ones i thought would be the most invisible victims in this

conflict. samuel, how could neighboring states in ethiopia be drawn into this conflict? well, you know, that's, you know, ethiopia is a huge country. it's a country with the 1000000. people live in it. it's also the host of refuse from south sudan and sudan and somalia and so on. so that whatever happens in ethiopia, a country that is important to the region is most likely to neighboring countries. and this conflict if it moves forward into its likely countries, which does not who are there for a long, long time in conflicts or a newer, more peace kind of story. before i became to borrow and put to use untold number of other gravies. and abby asked me, it critic said that this was a,

a pointless and avoidable civil war to his words. and he said that that could lead to the disintegration of the ethiopian state. is that a commonly held view? depends if one is referring to the prime minister won the nobel peace prize. peace prize is much higher and you're no longer leader leader much, much higher. and there was a conflict there. maybe if you will be so much peaceful trying to bring it with leadership. you are so obviously disappointed

that with which is the debate i mean when it comes to what's happening again, all right. you know, you want to know just a year ago. all right, thank you so much. that is actually talking to us from that is of a thank you. samuel rights groups have condemned the police crackdown on protesters in angola. human rights watch called the police shooting at peaceful protests as outrageous as well as criminal. heavily armed offices dispersed the anti-government protests in the capital. when state live leaving several people critically injured, they also detained demonstrators engine discovering the incident. last month, dozens of people were arrested during a similar protest against the high cost of living or oil rich and is africa's 3rd

largest economy. but oil prices have plummeted. cheering the call of a $1000.00 pandemic adding to the nation's economic woes and feeling people's frustrations. riot police in london, a crackdown on protesters on wednesday, people gathered on the streets in defiance of a protest ban ordered by the city authorities. the demonstrators say they are unhappy with the country's massive unemployment and rising cost of living security forces hit back hard at the gatherings with mass arrests, tear gas, and beatings, making police brutality. one more grievance for the protesters, we are miserable, we are hungry. just everything we lack running water light buses and today is another example of this. people are doing badly. they're complaining, they're the worst fever. the angolan government are thieves and bandits. everyone

knows this. even babies. when joya lawrenceville became president in 2017, angolans hoped it would mark a new era lawrence or took over from jos eduardo dos santos, who had ruled for nearly 4 decades. creating one of africa's most corrupt countries . now many angolans feel let down by lawrence. so protesters say he's failed to improve their lives now to kenya, which has lost nearly half of its forest since the 1960 s. . this is devastating for the environment to wildlife and people are trying to reforest the land by growing trees and then digging holes and planting them is as you can imagine, labor intensive and expensive. so very, very produce very, very excellent quality charcoal. so lots of areas, these are the 1st ones to be removed, causes such great firewood. this is how the experimental field used to look and how

it looks today. the seeds come from kenya's national forestry institute, which is in turn supplied by farmers. this brings income to the farmers while at the same time tapping survive the forests. when teddy and alison decide on a particular type of tree, the seeds are given a protective coating. big thing that's the boss telling us how do you stop those seeds being eaten prematurely by mice, by birds, by insights, not really our concepts. how do you got the right type of seeds, the right and don't have them being eaten by the things you know and just how the seeds are put into the seed balls remains a trade secret. but there is no mystery about how they are so on. they can be buried in the soil, the usual way, or hold forth from a slingshot. and there is even on mine planting. thanks to see 2 games

a start up. and i wrote the kenyan capital as one of africa's technology and software hotspots. the continent's 1st video conferencing platform was developed here. founder jay shapiro says the games are extremely popular. all we are is the power, this installment of sort of our roots. in the early in the power. it's the old, it was all new york who were visited. this is how it works. gamers fly virtually over an empty landscape. distributing seed bowls points are awarded for each tree planted. and for every point a donation is made. the money then pays for actual seed balls. oh, this is really got a lot of observation organizations of the loss of the

suit and rather the or, or floor or whatever. there's no real time that's trickled down to see it's going to be distributed through our mouths, open to all, or it's not yet clear how much will be raised. the digital flights have only been running for a few weeks early to calculate any proceeds. some believe the future of africa's forest stink $11000000.00 have been spread over the last 4 years, and everyone is hoping the program will flourish. in fact, 11000000 his just the start interesting stuff they have that is it for now. be sure to check the stories on dot com forward slash africa were also on facebook and on twitter. today we leave you with attributes of god. as former president jerry rawlings, who has died aged 73 of rowling's 1st, came to power in a military coup in 1979. he's credited full steering, gonna to become a peaceful democracy. he also served 2 terms as an index of president,

and we couldn't read your show is called spectrum if you would like any information on the coronavirus or any other science topic, you should really check out our podcast. you were however you get your pod cast can also find us and welcome to the show. europe is currently dealing with the aftermath of terrorist attacks and an increasingly dramatic 2nd wave of the coronavirus pandemic. where does culture stand in this big picture and how can it survive? i'll speak with a french philosopher about this shortly. also coming up. as more and more people say sheet their entertainment lives online, we look at how streaming services are mining our data. and more.

friday, november 13th marks 5 years since a group of islamic terrorists attacked several locations in paris, including the concert hall, where 90 people were killed and hundreds more injured. on the anniversary comes as france is still reeling from a series of attacks in recent weeks, including the beheading of teachers. just days after, he showed controversial cartoons of the prophet muhammad, to some of his students images from the funeral of summer party last month. his murder was one of several brutal attacks in france, prompting president a man away mccall's vow to protect the country's values and freedom of expression and crackdown on what he called islamist separatism. that led to anti french protests in many muslim countries and communities. and it reignited a debate in france about reconciling secularism with religious sensitivities while still fighting terrorism. the game of terrorism is to try to present french

secularism as an attack on religions and as something that would aim to condemn believers and make them inferior in relation to all french citizens. and also in the way, of course, that there is already a conflict of loyalties because there's a reluctance to attack what is cultural, religious, the religion of the parents, the problem in france, and even in countries where there is high immigration, is that children are torn between the culture of the host country and that of their country of origin. this highlights just how difficult it is for france to defend its unique brand of secularism. and joining me from paris is author philosopher and political theorist. pascal book, now author of the controversial and imaginary racism, have new mr. quirke. now welcome to arts and i'm older now, your book, an imaginary racism, islamophobia and guilt has finally been published here in germany. just recently,

can you explain briefly your premise in this book and why you feel the word islamophobia should not be part of the discourse. ok, causa was awarded has been caught by french colony and administrators at the beginning of the 20th century. and it has been reinvented by british muslims in the aftermath of the rush, the affair. and as a goal, rossi's award east to me, a detour and avery criticism of some into an act of phrases. so you should be allowed to criticize judaism christianity. buddhism is as old as you touch him. you're a criminal and you should be termed as a racist. and my question is, why is there a double standard? why is everything permitted to islam and not of christianity, judaism and or quite the senses. i'm criticizing a region is

a right persecuting the believe us is a crime she serves as a main difference that we have to do in a democracy. exactly. very, very difficult debate, obviously. now, after the recent series of attacks in france and also vienna, what is your take on the situation now? how badly threatened is freedom of expression for our hissing creatives in europe? well, i'm an adult and i'm more concerned about the freedom of teaching for the for the teachers. in middle colleges have received many sweatshops, jupiters and that from her and from the families of those pupils. but of course, it would have, it would have a consequences on the freedom of against oppression. freedom of creation. no one with try to turn into its turn, for instance, a religion into the motive of desecration,

because the risk is not to go in court to, to have a try. oh, that's a risk is to be killed. so you know in front of this kind of risk, not too many artists would want to do it, take it to and so they would try to turn their faces somewhere else. this idea of french life 50 or secularism which your secularism which is unique in the world. it's very poorly understood outside of france and yet fundamental to self perception in france. can you just briefly tell me, is there still consensus in french society that it's the right way to go despite all of this? yes, google yes, but of course we have media openness 1st. we have the cowards with things that we should let loose go rules to avoid, to have troubles and or so i have strong opponents which were which of course at least imo leftist want to side uns,

a radical must seem side too because the things that he's a religion of the richer than the poor, so we should have some but we're not sort o. needs a word that we have to remember. that was stuff like your mother. so fond of modern turkey adult. so fresh tyler is in for exactly adopted secularism. obviously not wanting to equate radical political islam with religious islam. finally, i'd just like to ask you, my hope michael has said that france will not back down on the issue on the caricature as those controversial cartoons. where do you stand on this and what role might culture play in healing these divisions? does he michael, approve of the cage or do you? i think you just say they should be allowed to do to exist and to be published in the newspaper. i think that much more than the cartoons themselves, which offends of the radical muslims, is a french way of life. and that is

a possibility given to every friendship, just a messy, modern up a scheme to believe or not to believe and to choose indifference in matter religion and ses this is a real danger for the fundamentalists. ok, thank you. and covert lockdowns, obviously aggravating things even more as so much of culture and public life is silenced by these pandemic restrictions. matthew, thank you for your insights. and for joining us today. i think i just well, there have of course been the big winners of the pandemic, even in the cultural realm and as cinemas die, a slow death streaming services have taken off as a favorite lockdown activity. but as critics are pointing out, it's not just about entertainment. there's nothing groundbreaking about disney's live action remake moulin. and yet it's written film history as the 1st big hollywood production to open not in cinemas,

but on streaming service disney plus disney, amazon prime. and netflix did a booming business during the corona lockdowns, instead of going to the movies, audiences streamed films on their sofas. but marcus as kleiner asks exactly what it is we're inviting into our home. he's a man on a mission. his books dreamland takes a critical look at our new constant companions, the streaming services. spoiler alert, he's not a fan of. he believes they use their great power for manipulation to their advantage and 1st spying on losers. screaming. that's because no medium comes closer to his fans streaming, you know, with all humans capable of capturing every single step we take and analyzing it. and exactly what does that do to our culture, to our media landscape, to how we deal with films. what does this data piracy do to our democracy and what content is being transmitted?

this is done when covert 19 struck. netflix reacted promptly with a series of documentaries on pandemics that spread fear rather than knowledge from a series on pandemics. i expect a lot of knowledge of those different viruses, different pandemics. but if you look at these documentaries, they're just dramas. there's as good as no insight on offer. just good versus bad. in terms of content. it's another series success story is to actually end it. set around the fall of the berlin wall. it's distributed by amazon prime. covert $1000.00 has changed people's viewing habits dramatically through some project that streaming services could be raking in more than $100000000000.00 worldwide by 2025. yet at present it's hard for them to produce new contacts and get it wrong. we were experiencing an incredible t.v.

series boom in germany before the corona outbreak. in the stores, in my estimation, things will ease up next spring. the dust will continue and will experience a golden age of storytelling in films and serious speech. a few years ago, they were a nice market. but increasingly, streaming services are dominating the media landscape. turning german history into a global ethic and as a critic of capitalism. until recently, netflix and co flew under the radar. no one paid much attention to their lack of transparency or what they did with users data. but that's changing. the streaming streaming services have been forgotten in criticism of the digital

transformation. you know, it's through entertainment that's harmless and provides a diversion that we're berlant even closer to the digital economy. and the exploitation that comes with it. no one thought of. but before the current, a virus crisis has increased the speed of change in the media landscape. exponential is only slowly becoming as well. some food for thought there for sure. netflix and other streaming services have also had great success as producers of original content. the oscar winning film, romar or oscar nominated the irishman, come to mind a new netflix movie called the life ahead is poised to start on friday and it's nothing short of an event. as it features the return of screen legend, sophia loren, now 86. she plays an ex prostitute and holocaust survivor who offers day care for the children of other local prostitutes and develops a deep bond with a young immigrant called momo. and from

film to music and with live concerts, of course, on hold new studio albums to take on a new significance with a couple of pop and rock icons. heading back to the charts. australian pop queen kylie minogue, new album is called disco. the perfect album to dance around your kitchen too. so let's take a listen to this track called magic and hard rock fans have friday marks into their calendars and the day the iconic australian band aids c.d.c. released his power, their 1st album in 60 years. i'm going to take a listen to shots in the dark

and to quote, guitarist angus young. every song is a little rebellion, a fitting message to all of those starving culture. vultures out there, you can find more on arts and culture on our website, w dot com slash culture. and without it, it's all from us. so until next time rock on, stay safe and i listen to after

entering the conflict zone with tim sebastian, britain's prime minister boris johnson is on the fire once again, not least for members of his own conservative party. my guest this week here in london as one of his junior m.p.'s, been a mouthful, lami elected to parliament 3 years ago. can mr. jones and the whole team's currents live in the opinion, polls, and what will the party do if he comes conflicts of 30 minutes on w from the get go to parliament. effort to come to know whose body was the pop star's rails against come up, shot down by links determined to shock despite coming from a poor family wants to become president gonzaga and
