before we go here's a quick reminder of the top story we're following for you democrats have formally introduced an article of impeachment for u.s. president donald trump they're charging the president with inciting insurrection this comes in the wake of the deadly riot at the u.s. capitol last week. that's it from me for now up next is due to the of business with monica jones and i'll be back with more headlines at the top of the out come see that. young emigrants. you know the police will stop them. they know that the route is not a solution. they know their flight could be fatal. going

back to using not an option. i'm on and profiting or stuck in the spanish border area. along side other young people there waiting for a chance that will probably never come. shattered dreams starts january 18th on t.w. . tech companies get political too it's a risk of spending thousands of pounds primarily dedicated to sharing q i'm on conspiracy content my pay pal blocks sites that helped raise funds for those who took part in the violence at the capital we talk about occurs wanted to find out more about the intentions behind such moves. also coming up the consumer

electronics show in las vegas kicks off this year it's online only and digital health takes center stage. and while the condemning forces us to stay at home airports are struggling to stay afloat. welcome to the business i want to get jobs and well and good to have you with us and 1st it was the u.s. president now twitter has to spend it more than 70000 accounts used to spread the far right conspiracy theory q.r. known as the latest company to crack down on extremists content following the deadly insurrection in washington last week twitter said it was committed to quote taking strong action on behavior that has the potential to lead to the offline harm the backlash comes as pay pal blocked accounts and crowdfunding efforts linked to the violence air b.n. b. is said to a council bookings and the u.s. capitol connected to hate groups that's ahead of joe biden's in on curation i mean

why right wing twitter alternative pala is suing amazon the after it was delisted for failing to moderate its post so a lot going on there on social platforms and for more let's bring in our financial correspondent now in frankfurt conrad good morning good to see you come on the tech industry is middling with the u.s. politics right now it seems what are investors saying. good morning monica well you know classical investors are focused on the profits that their investments return and the impact of all this on the companies and on the profits is really difficult to evaluate if you're a company like twitter you have the legal risks there you have the risk of bad press you're are risking to lose parts of your clients and of course all this is on investors' minds but they tend not to want to talk to talk about it in the open too much of course for fear of getting in the focus of controversial discussions

themselves of course i mean business and politics is usually very very separate but in this case i mean is this perhaps a case of tech giants now taking social responsibility something that politics has been asking them today. i think money because there's a risk of motivations here let's not forget what happened last week in washington where criminal acts also at least parts of what donald trump twittered can be considered to come close to treason or other criminal behavior so as a company if you don't want to get in the focus of criminal investigations yourselves you have to be careful and look at this and think about what you do are german chancellor angela merkel says that she's critical of twitter's throwing out donald trump she wants things like this to be ruled by law of course she doesn't offer a remedy to twitter or a way out of political or. criminal risk and that the legal risk that

companies like twitter are facing what to do if your users use your product for criminal activity that's really a problem right of course but at the same time and i have to insist on that i mean we've been hearing it and reporting on it for such a long time that regulators certainly keep calling on tech company to take responsibility for the content on their site now that they do they go too far it sounds like a difficult balancing act. yes for companies it's really a bit like a catch $22.00 situation and it's also a problem that companies tend to be reactive in suffer like this and not proactive enough and of course lawmakers are in as well they don't want to obstruct free speech but on the other have they are the ones to be responsible to you know create a framework that permits that we all live in the criminal of

a crime free world i think the law makers the politicians are more to blame here all right and there's certainly a topic that deserves to be looked at again and again in more detail but thank you so much for now on admission in france that. time now for a look at some of the other business stories making news. u.s. comical ford is closing its 3 factories and brazil after more than a century of operation the pandemic excess of 8 already slow sales in south america the move will affect some $5000.00 workers and cost the company over $4000000000.00 . chinese electric car make a x paying security a credit line of $2000000000.00 from 5 chinese banks the maker of the piece 7 sit down and the g.'s 3 sports utility vehicle plans to build

fact that we'll have to stay put until the coronavirus is under control and while that saves us money it costs the aviation sector dearly not just big airlines are affected but also at ports. a plane landing in dortmund it's a pleasant surprise the local airport has lost an enormous amount of business since the coronavirus struck a hard time for its new director to take charge. of the snow and we all know what is dangerous at the pandemic and it's having serious effects there's been a 90 percent decline in german air traffic and about 75 percent in dortmund to succeed in dortmund. mid-day rush hour and nothing but emptiness darkman processed almost 3000000 passengers in 21000 but at least a few flights are lined up for the next day all with one airline all connecting with eastern europe. is basically dortmund is the gateway to eastern

europe they are often trips which have to be made on their business trips and that's why that kind of traffic is pretty stable for carol a current of ira's test center has moved into the arrivals area making camp where car rentals are normally found every passenger landing and dart board is tested about a 1000 every day that gives an idea of what still is operating despite the gaping emptiness of the departure halls for the airport chief a sign of hope. it progress would also want is in an excellent position because we're home to a very stable and very professional airlines and that office growth potential after the crisis as well as works and support and so on are. the nearest airport to dortmund is part of born lipstadt 70 kilometers east of what is hibernating the last scheduled jet landed here in late november the next 1 isn't expected until the end of march. the art business jet passes through but even before the pandemic

there wasn't enough passengers coming through to keep the airport going. like other airports we are being hit very hard we're using the time to reposition ourselves we're going to convert to self administration as part of an insolvency process. repositioning also means a 2 thirds cut in personnel and part of board has no growth plans either for the post coronavirus era it evolved to even attempt to reach pre-crisis levels your status or find us what we're getting used to the idea that we'll be handling far fewer passengers about half the number we used to handle and we're adjusting our cost accordingly. part of born is shrinking to survive and expects a return to normal different approaches to the crisis and the outcome uncertain it's not an easy time for the aviation industry. the consumer electronics
