well only 59 percent say they would call out death of company property but what about the rest meghan rates is a business school instructor specializing in leadership she provides 5 tips on how to create a culture of openness in companies whether we speak up or stay silent affects compliance effects safety issues of malpractise but also can create environments of innovation in gelati and of course inclusive or to helping people to speak up work matters. so here's my advice on how to create to speak up culture in your workplace. think about the last line legal challenge. now if you're struggling to think of examples then paths of those find you a little bit scary. so
4:46 am
a classic phrase that leaders and managers often make is my door is always open. yes but you're still in your office there's something about getting outside of that environment because that can be quite intimidating for people coming into your place. to start focusing on getting people to build brains and speak up i'm focusing more of your time and energy on listening and learning how to help people to feel safe. i've met leaders who tell me they need to speak up more they need to be more assertive and courageous rather focus on creating an environment where they don't have to be so brave in the 1st place for example there's a great deal of difference in trying to have a conversation with someone in a group meeting versus taking somebody for
4:47 am
a walk outside in the park you'll get very different quality of conversation depending on what you do. assume that you need to do more work to help people speak up then you think. so our research shows that the more senior you are the more likely you are to think that people are speaking up when they're not and we call this the optimism bubble if you find yourself thinking you have people are speaking up while round here then challenge your assumptions. to. a chief executive we interviewed really wanted to help his team to speak up but he confided to us that he had a little list in his mind of the people that he listened to and the people that he didn't but you and i we all have these little lists who's on your
4:48 am
walls very often the voices we hear are a lot like our own and they're from people that look like us it means that you're not aware of others' experiences within your organization and potentially outside of it as well sac see need to be reaching out and connecting with those groups. to send signals to others all the time through our body and verbal language and some of those signals help partners to speak up and some keep them silent the moment after someone has spoken up. your response will determine whether that person and probably that colleagues will speak up next time i'm afraid that 9 times out of 10 you might respond really well unfortunately it's that
4:49 am
tendency. that everybody will remember and talk about that time when you were really tired or you were really stressed so if you do kind of make a mistake and you do realize in hindsight that you've reacted in a way that might be detrimental then reach out to that person. helping people to speak up at work matters it matters for us it matters that one of the most important things i've talked about is arab been a t. to create a safe environment where people can speak out. and i hope my 5 points tips will enable you to do that at the end of the day doing the right thing is everyone's responsibility but the responsibility and liability grows the higher up the institutional ladder you go how do leaders ensure that ethical standards are
4:50 am
adhere to some scandal hit companies now invest a lot of money in compliance our reporter holzman spoke to the chief executive of one such company building are a construction firm with business around the world who say they have managed to clean up their act. clannad in germany they think a little gift is a good way to maintain friendships and make new ones so i brought along a bottle of red wine and a small envelope. removes the show that you brought you a little something like things but obviously i can't accept this on blow by have to give it back if you don't think maybe the reason unless i like to think that really but i'd hoped our interview would be especially nice. compliance is full compliance is very important to us so we're always very careful i have to pass everything on to our head of compliance put it to good use.
4:51 am
compliance means sticking to rules against corruption tom plates wants to show that that's now the norm at his company building or in recent years corruption has been an issue with no finger which produces and install spec to equipment worldwide. the biggest corruption case emerged in nigeria and 2003 where a subsidiary paid bribes to the government to lend contracts bill figure was fined $32000000.00. the us department of justice is also watching bill finger closely because the scandal involved an american joint venture partner. blades and his predecessors have had to provide regular updates on their compliance since the case against the company was proven seemed out of nothing for 510 years after the event we had to pay a fine as an assigned deferred prosecution agreement and deferred prosecution
4:52 am
agreement as i d.p.a. on page lays down what we have to do to make sure we show that we're compliant listen and that we remain compliant in the future as well compliance leaving. compliance not. in the. blaine's was born in hamburg to a british father and a german mother he has worked in germany since the late 1990 s. and came to build in europe and made 2016 so it's ok if you've got somebody sees it all so you took over just at the time of the nigeria case so it's right in the. weight so we'll take a step back. when and please mind that sign is that part of compliance no it's health and safety was the one you were telling me to grab the railing come on mr blades you don't do that all the time surely it is mine each and every time because rule number 2 be a good example. and says this is all right setting
4:53 am
a good example ok this place isn't where we arrived at building or as it was dealing with the fallout from nigeria. you know that's right it was under way. you could have gone to work for a company with fewer challenges one perhaps with more positive prospects right if you know anything so i didn't come here because of the corruption. i came here because this company is undergoing a transformational thing. because i've been working for almost 40 years on the industrial services business that he reasoned and that's why i said yes i'll go for that on the sings out here so as of. when building our says it's set up a compliant system what does that mean. compliances i include guns i'm thought a smile on clients is quite straightforward it's keeping a promise of integrity that you've got a very simple example is what's appropriate when the say you're in talks with a client and decide ok let's go for something to eat you know what's appropriate
4:54 am
there if it's a president someone from the very top then what's appropriate is very different from what's appropriate when you're out with the guys from the construction sites and squinting up devolved into. it wasn't only nigeria at the world cup in brazil on $24.00 team a subsidiary was accused of trying to get contracts. the company. has just half what kind of penalties did employees face briefing a few mean regarding malfeasance or corruption that basically. this is absolutely a radical case but we have to be prepared for such cases initially we'd hand the contract back because we cheated to get it. when we'd start an investigation to find out who was behind it all. and employees would have to reckon with us filing a criminal complaint with prosecutors. mustn't other it also be internal
4:55 am
consequences including sacking people. and they'd have to expect we'd also want compensation. yes we lost the contract. give us a shade. for me it's about hygiene for me just like with a hospital. a hospital isn't clean then it's a bad hospital in congo it's not about good or bad doctors want to hospitals no longer clean size and you simply wouldn't go there and live in the do you. read and understand if of the need for the other to find a suitable figure to decide just for. your divine so i left the wine here it's up stairs in the compliance department it will be catalogued and maybe turn up in a raffle to raise money for a good cause obviously tom blades didn't keep the cash and the same ethical rules apply to me as a journalist 0 tolerance for bribery. remember

this is to use live from birth to the global potty under the shadow of a pen to 5 words walk up european capitals from birth into law as the world says hello to 2021 but instead of big crowds things in the streets people being urged to stay home. coming up. we have all freedom in all. and these up to us to make the most of the pretty pens it's half century partnership with prospects what changes are in store now the u.k. has finalized the full split between you. and all between forget the policy that
5:01 am
leaves office german chancellor angela merkel calls the coded crisis a once in a century child. i'm at the house thanks for joining us the world is saying goodbye to 2020 and welcoming in 2021 but they said they knew you. russians like now what's taking place in the shadow of the coronavirus and demick and on the tight restrictions on gatherings traditions die out many cities are going ahead with fireworks and a lot shows but urging people to stay at home watch the spectacle on t.v. . paris again lived up to its nickname the city of light welcoming the new year with a spectacular fireworks display and the sounds easy but this year's show took place
5:02 am
without new year's revelers with police in force in the country street at 8 pm covert curfew. in berlin the annual fireworks were more subdued than in years past germans had been urged to forgo fireworks altogether the government had even considered an outright ban to ease the burden on 1st responders and hospitals during the pandemic. an hour later britain heralded in the new year its 1st post threats that year's eve was less than celebratory with police out in force to discourage crowds. earlier in bangkok the number of viewers was limited tile and tightened restrictions for the new year's eve holiday because of a surge of infections and many of the nz were called off across the country. in the chinese city of ruhani where the 1st cases of mysterious pneumonia emerged just over a year ago the darkest days of the outbreak have been consigned to the past.
5:03 am
but new zealanders were partying like there's no pandemic the country successfully eliminated the current virus in 2020 combining strict measures with effective leadership and that meant large crowds could gather to ring in the new year a rare oasis in a world of scaled back celebrations. well after half a century partnership britain has finalized its divorce with the european union at 11 pm greenwich mean time midnight in brussels the transition period for the u.k. to the european. operates that supporters are hoping the freedoms won by the agreement critics fear the deal could leave the you tell you i selected facing trade hurdles over it. joined now by my colleague kind of claim to have a welcome as we're seeing not only the start of 2021 but also a new era in the u.k.
5:04 am
and the european union yes speaking as a british citizen but also as a german citizen this is a huge change it's odd because it's been going on for so long that in 4 years of negotiations sometimes very bad tempered to go she is it went right down to the luck to the wire in the end in order to for them to be there to be a trade deal which was secured so it all kind of felt like it was taking ages it did take ages and so the consequences of this really a going to take a little while to filter through but this is a massive change it's a massive moment really for the for the brits for the for the u.k. setting themselves apart from the european union as you said decades of cooperation now slowly being untangled and the european union has lou losing a really crucial member one of the 1st members and an important one that kind of built in many ways a bridge to the u.s.
5:05 am
which is a huge hugely important relationship for the european union and the brits kind of in between were were very important part of that and now there is this trade deal there is this agreement for the divorce which seems to please nobody particularly on either in the u.k. or in the e.u. although the e.u. argued they got the better deal in the end we have a piece now which we can look how it shows us some of the details there. from generally 1st british drivers on french or italian roads maybe needing some additional pieces of paper a green insurance card and an international driver's license and the future of their health coverage in europe is also still up in the air. not so happy holidays for sun loving brits in spain they'll be soon and was everyone else and must apply and pay for a long stay visa if they want to enjoy their holiday homes for more than 90 days because from now on free movement be free anymore. meanwhile e.u.
5:06 am
citizens hoping to make a life in britain will be faced with a points based immigration system and prove their worst to the british state bad news for british farmers desperately looking for help during harvest time. traffic jams at the borders will simply become effect of life because goods entering and leaving the e.u. will undergo new checks and require lots of new paperwork so get ready truckers for those half an hour waits for these fishermen in the north of france breaks it is bad news they lose unfettered access to british waters known to 80 percent of their catch that means their livelihood is at risk but british fisherman should not start rejoicing yet most of their catch is sold on the european market. it's all change for bankers and brokers how much when and where they'll be allowed to work in the
5:07 am
european union will be totally in brussels hands to avoid nessie surprises many banks and insurance companies have already established illegal presence somewhere new european country. there is genuinely a lot to unpack there's a lot of changes coming to the u.k. of with as we're seeing what about the european union well the european union did get the better deal as you would expect if you compare the economies of the e.u. in the u.k. the e.u. is massively bigger than the u.k. so there is never going to be any balance there but the e.u. has a lot of hassle now if you think of what's happening in this this year is going to be the last year of angola machall as chancellor of germany and a huge european figure she's going to be gone so the e.u. is going to have to kind of find its way with the how now one of its crucial members and as i said a bridge to the u.s. in many ways but also an important ally within the e.u. for western more liberal more democratic countries like germany like france and
5:08 am
italy and balancing out countries like hungary in poland which have been moving away from kind of social liberal liberal lety and and democracy and so that's going to be a big change within the e.u. within the kind of balance of power within the e.u. and also don't forget the u.k. is a nuclear power so militarily also a big loss for the e.u. this much to look at so how do we know what comes next it's really difficult because everything that you look at every political every social every economic factor within the e.u. within the u.k. is going to change in some ways very dramatically. some of these trade agreements that have been you know launched this this week and a great number one that a lot have to unpack see what really is in the detail there but some of them have also been decided that they'll be on a sliding scale like the fishy fishy was nearly on block when they got the whole thing they've decided that they're going to push some of those the decisions on for
5:09 am
several years so this negotiations that are going to be going on for ever credible times and a clever thanks so much you're welcome. and a quick note that if you want to dive deeper into break that check out the w.'s you choose channel correspondents in the u.k. and the e.u. lay out their winners and losers from the deal ok let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news this hour. german chancellor angela merkel has handed over the use presidency to portugal germany's presidency ended on december 31st in a video message knuckles wished portugal every success is germany would support portugal based of its of his of n.c. rotates among e.u. member nations every 6 months. days after buses were meant to drive them to get to a shelter a 1000 migrants are still stranded in a burnt out camp in bosnia vehicles never left after protests from the residents in the village where they were going migrants are struggling to survive in freezing
5:10 am
temperatures without heating or adequate water. listen pakistan have arrested 24 people after a hindu temple was set light and destroyed several muslim clerics were among those taken into custody temple in the town of kut a target of muslim purchase the monarchy. was given permission to renovate. the german chancellor angela merkel has called on germans to help beat the pandemic by sticking to the rules in the wakes and months ahead in what is likely to be her final new year's address the chancellor said the country is facing hard times now that vaccinations have begun hope is inside. after a year dominated by one issue it came as no surprise that the main theme of chancellor angela merkel's traditional new year's address was the pandemic. dicko now the us panda me the coronavirus pandemic was and is a once in
5:11 am
a century political social and economic challenge this either has to it's a historic crisis that has demanded a great deal of all of us and too much of some of us it's biased us i know that mustering this is story effort has required tremendous trust in patients on your part and continues to do so. though the pandemic and its effect on german society dominated the speech it was also a message of hope with machall pain tribute to the german scientists who developed the bio on tech pfizer vaccine already in use in several countries and after 15 years this chancellor by the end of her political career beckoning ended on a personal note in the end we're not going as there will be federal general elections in one month and i will not be running for reelection what falls is not a slow day i'm likely speaking to you on new years as federal chancellor for the last time in the half a stink i don't think i'm exaggerating when i say that never in the past 15 years
5:12 am
have we all experienced such a difficult year for in or near and never have we greeted the new year is so much hope that's despite all of our concerns and some skepticism once of injury and so you and your families have my very best wishes for good health confidence and blessings on the new year 2021 months. and you can watch angela merkel's new year's address in full at noname berlin time that's in 5 hours that's here on t.w. and on all of our platforms ok to some of the other coronavirus developments now and the world health organization has granted emergency validation to the german developed by pfizer vaccine this should lead to more countries starting an occupation programs vaccinations in the u.s. of fallen far short of the government's target for 2020 so far only 2800000 americans have had injections instead of the planned 20000000 and 3 quarters of
5:13 am
england's population has been placed under the strictest level of pandemic restrictions the u.k. has seen nearly a 1000 coated 19 deaths for 2 days in a row but as we say goodbye to 2025 w. correspondents around the world have been asking people what they're hoping for next year well there's a common thread they all wanted to be very different to this one. for me. i let my wish good health for every person for everybody in germany in 2021. might do a whole city and even anyone is actually putting their best good to see me who is and actually just lake being a bit more free and i like. out but this just so much feel and it would be so nice to be massed feed to be able to meet family friends to be actually hug them you know just just be able to do the normal things again yeah that's my hopes.
5:14 am
for myself i'm hoping that i can live a better life. i want a good family and for life to just be ok. i don't want a life of struggle although in life there is struggle no matter what nothing is easy. i hope we can go back to work again. i'm a dancer and would like theaters to open again so that humanity can find its smile that i may get the 2020 through. thousands of people every day die so i just want to make it a 2022. well some people are bringing in 2021 in particularly frosty fashion in the russian province of siberia where temperatures can plunge as low as minus 35 celsius this group of friends said goodbye to 2020 with
5:15 am
a run towards locally as the border seems to follow that up with a plunge into an ice sheet like. how the russians like to wash or in the new year invigorated and refresh us the phrasing to that would be that's all for now business is up next i should. be there until you get it and this is climate change. happiness in 3 books. for you. to get smarter for free to go where you go on you tube. and you hear me now yes yes we can hear you in how the last 2 years german chancellor will bring you i'm going to magical and you've never thought i'd have to surprise yourself with what is possible who is magical really
5:16 am

5:17 am
i will take you through what it is like to play in a large book as a section of a symphony orchestra and what are the challenges and also the lots of joy and fun that they can have there. that you've been a drug that. the that the didn't they do that because. you had a good time not to get. the ticket to get a ticket to think that tactic to get it to get to that. so
5:18 am
i have to come with a plan that whatever happens it will work but then it's great when we can take it much much further and you came and said you know that that's very good how how we were going i said but do you think you should be a bit more flexible i really love that contribution because that's exactly what i wanted the to. her. i heard. the story of this film is sort of. on juliet story but between them i am princess and a spanish conquistador so it's an impossible love story from my country and the
5:19 am
music is just incredible. when you play in a big symphony orchestra even as a percussionist we used to just have the pulse and but in the peak of his like this always some small adjustments we have to do small adjustments all the time so that's quite difficult because we are 13 players that used to do that just once it's all of the same time so that it needs a lot of a lot of eyes a lot of ears is set of like a football team you know we have someone to run fast and someone just just you know their experience and know how to keep calm when when it's you know it's growing on your then you have to have. people experience people just this is this is where i have to research this don't go wild.
5:20 am
to sort of this is sort of a master class week like this because in classical music normally the reason place to the melody has not this time the military has to play to the reason. that. i move like the black sheep of the sun south of. because i'm not a classical trained physician i am a self-taught jazz guy. i love it when we get the sense from all those types of music it's so enriching and many times i think that if we we need to be classical musicians need more of your
5:21 am
where else to do what we do because it's all intertwined it's not separate. you're. here. this is a big pleasure playing with someone like you who are rhythm because we feel immediately that you are with me you have this. you're grounded for me as a conductor it's always good to go to the source and talk to that the ones who are experts on each think and i've learnt so much most of what i've learned i've learned from the players i'm happy to meet you that's where while you were in the band i mean. the manner is that you're thinking maybe that's. i was so happy to be part of the band and it's always an honor to be considered part of the band.
5:22 am
and this concert it was a very special opportunity for me to work for the 1st time with my partner you can play god and in a 2nd 2 sets of songs one by mother and one by have a will but the entire program that we've put together. is about love stories especially the impossible ones and to get to this the union and it's such a joy and pleasure and we've had a lot of fun together. the poor. poor . little.
5:23 am
the you're. the. one who are. moving here in copenhagen after the rehearsal with danish me or. the group. yes because there are the giving a concert with. with your partner in life is something special. everybody imagines big conflict during the preparation and fights about who is in charge well i better don't question that the conductor is in charge and she better doesn't question that i'm a tenor so this we can avoid
5:24 am
a lot of fights i think well you know. i think you didn't lie will always be able to work together well because we met working so for us the relationship through music and through may conducting and him singing was the way we actually met because we met while doing the magic flute at the state opera and berlin and so our 1st relationship west of colleagues and so i think for us is no problem and we both know and respect each other. in a way that it's really pleasant it's really nice. was.
5:25 am
what you're hearing about the mahler songs. this is the 1st year that you sing them it's the 1st time that i sing them out of songs with orchestra so if some of the piano version and the chamber version today was the 1st time with after her son that i heard this orchestra like that i was within the orchestra with this whole world of imagination. this. was. when i looked again at the at the. date of composition like 8485 this is and i know other music from the time other song. like you has promise who voted for. us. it's so different in terms of simplicity but also in terms of the
5:26 am
tests in the simplicity so many layers of truth. of life his approach to music is is really like describing the world and not only describing it and thinking and but making you live it as if you're in the moment living all this . elements was easy. it's really cinematic because we are in the center of the orchestra and we're hearing berths on the horn calls and and. the trees and leaves and nature coming out from every direction like like like it's really as if you were saying it's moving man he actually enjoy.
5:27 am
being. in receipt of the sheet was released. and then you suggested 70. 5 weeks on so was what i think is a beautiful contrast of no suffering of no problems. and so it's 5 songs that talk about the beautiful day of waiting it starts with waking up the bride and seeing the church and how the families get together then the posing of the groom like look how great i am of pistols and a saber and i'm so handsome but you're the one of.
