american company wal-mart revenues this year are expected to amount to around $470000000000.00 euros heavyweights among discount stores include germany's group which owns the legal and chains with estimated revenues this year of 120000000000 euros followed by algae with 100000000000. in order to sell their goods cheaply retailers often put producers under pressure if you don't give it to me for such and such a price you're around. it's not just discount stores that push down the prices they pay so do more upmarket chains like $80.00 and i think. if their suppliers won't sell to them for less they'll even kick out huge corporations such as nestle coca-cola and unilever. small farmers sometimes find their deliveries of fresh produce turned down agreed price is reduced retroactively for payments delayed by the retail chains tricks like these have brought farmers out onto the streets in protest. but the retailers hit back they say there's no escaping fears

international competition and in any case many shoppers can't afford to pay more for their purchases. if you ask consumers most say they would be willing to pay more for meat and milk but when it comes down to it the majority still choose the cheapest items. scandals over factory farming and exploitative working conditions on farms and in slaughterhouses have made cheap food a political issue. what's the answer break up the big retail chains have governments dictate prices. but that sounds like socialism. an act stricter laws to protect workers animals and the environment that could raise prices. and equitable system of production and distribution is impossible given the pricing power of major retailers it's a power struggle and the outcome is anybody's guess. if you are like

me use all of oil in basically everything it's affordable it's meant to be healthy plus it's a key staple in the so-called mediterranean diet which apparently helps you live longer consumers love it but many of those who make the oil can't seem to make a living from it the world's biggest all of oil producer is but the all of all farmers say being at the top doesn't mean much in the face of shrinking profits one farmer and the new c.e.o. whose family has made all of oil for a century took it upon himself to take his production into the future. khan is passionate about growing olives his trees grow on 100 hectares of land some of them are over 100 years old. they don't start in with this olive grove. feel these trees were planted by my grandfather in the 1920 s. . and i mean that since then he's restructured the olive groves so that he can live

from selling all of the oil he planted the trees closer together and started watering them which used to be unusual now me again when alice harvests a 1000000 kilos of all of the year between october and february but their value is going down he said there but if you know the price of olive oil has fallen a lot that our profit margin is so small that many olive groves are no longer profitable. at today's market prices a kilo of the finest spanish olive oil only fetches 2 euros in the country 4 years ago it would sell for twice that like almost all the all of growers in the area began used to send all of his all of us to one of the many cooperatives in the town of plentiful but with so many other farmers doing the same his own oil was getting lost in the mix which he found disheartening. i decided to return to my roots

my grandfather pressed the oil himself and sold it directly that's what my family and i wanted to. set. 2 years ago they decided to market the oil themselves in nearby. vega and miguel's brother take care of the business side polio posts ads on facebook and google at 1st they were only for the spanish market . and i had no idea about e-commerce i had no idea how to sell a product online. it was an adventure and a challenge but as a to. aim we managed to put this beautiful project together we wanted the. business is getting better and better they've employed 2 people to stay in direct contact with the customers at the beginning of the year they started discussing which new avenues they could take and decided they would expand into all of europe while

spain was in coronavirus lock down the warehouse in plant to fania was receiving more and more orders it was funny we just wondered what would happen if we started taking orders from abroad. and it was an even better outcome than any of them had expected. it was unbelievable and i think i mean within 3 months 30 percent of our orders were coming from elsewhere in europe. have been especially from germany so you sort it all the early money. the direct marketing worked out well but they're still not in control of all aspects miguel still stores his oil in the cooperatives tanks and he needs help extracting the oil from his all lives. more still not completely independent from the cooperative we need help from them to press the olives we can't do that without them and we need help filling the

bottles. but he hopes to soon be fully independent again is already making more money than before the customers can buy quality all of oil directly from farmers in under luciana at a price that can compete with supermarket brands the new business model has already begun to bear fruit. and before we let you go it's confession time for me i. am terrible with plants so i won't likely ever to own any kind of weekend garden house or allotment but for many people these gardens are a source of pure pride and joy this week we handed our all off krieger a pair of hedge trimmers and told him to go wild he may have taken it literally took one sec one sec and this all has to be trimmed the allotment lot on

this is g.w. news live from the lead history is made in the u.s. congress lawmakers voted to impeach president donald trump for a 2nd time 10 republicans break rank and join democrats voting to impeach trump is accused of inciting an insurrection at the capitol last week the president denies any responsibility also coming out. italy has plunged into a political crisis former president former prime minister rather met a red state polls his party out of the ruling coalition setting the stage for new

elections at the worst possible time. and no letup in the logs out germany's health minister says the country won't be able to lift its coronavirus restrictions at the end of the month. welcome to the program the united states house of representatives has voted to impeach president donald trump for a 2nd time trump was charged with incitement of insurrection following the storming of the capitol by his supporters last week the president will now face a trial in the senate but that's unlikely to happen before he leaves office in a week from now. this was the moment that made history donald trump became the 1st president in u.s. history to be impeached twice on this throw the i 32

the nays are 197 there is that resolution is adopted without objection the motion to reconsider is laid upon the total. and this time it wasn't just democrats who were in favor 10 members of trump's own republican party also voted to impeach the president the president bears responsibility for wednesday's attack on congress by mob rioters he should have immediately denounced the mob when he saw what was unfolding these facts require immediate action the president trying except to share responsibility the impeachment proceedings moved at breakneck speed the result coming just a week after the violence at the capitol democrats were hoping to remove trump from office just days before his term ends but that would 1st require a trial in the u.s. senate and there senate majority leader mitch mcconnell has rejected a quick process saying there is no chance of

a fair or serious trial before the president leaves office donald trump to nine's his fiery speech last week inside his supporters to storm the u.s. capitol building shortly after his impeachment was announced he released a video online in which he distanced himself from the violence mob 8 violence goes against everything i believe in and everything our movement stands for no true supporter of mine could ever endorse political violence no true supporter of mine could ever disrespect law enforcement or our great american flag. it's unclear if you will my kids will get the 2 thirds majority needed in the senate to officially convict trump of incitement of insurrection but now it does seem clear that any trial would take place once he's already left office. d.w. correspondent all of

a solid joins me now from washington from has denounced the violence last week at the capitol but made no mention of his impeachment what do you make of that. that was the condemnation in his speech here today or in his video message what it was expected on the day or a day after at the latest it came a week after the riots took place and 1st he sent all those kind of mixed messages that we're used to from donald trump he said we lost you your very special addressing his followers and those who went into the capital he later. after inciting to take on the capital in his speech there at the national mall he later called on his followers to remain peaceful and now this formal condemnation but still no. for joe biden as the winner of the presidential election no acceptance of his defeat and as you mentioned all in no mention of the impeachment itself that is

a result of him inside to a violent mob so what he's doing is certainly to try to rewrite history and democrats on capitol hill have been calling this too little too late. revising history you say time has of course made history by becoming the only u.s. president to be impeached twice and this time with bipartisan support what is the significance of. well it's very significant because you have some 10 republicans in the house of representatives who voted in support of impeachment that's not a large number but if you consider how close the ranks were of the republican party and if you think back of the 1st impeachment proceeding in particular then you can really tell that the party is crumbling the support for donald trump is crumbling and also that the party at this point really does not have a direction and no vision for the future so very big challenges for the republicans in the last days of the all chums presidency now we heard republicans in congress

today say that donald trump didn't inside the violence we saw a week ago remind us now what led to the storming of the capitol. well that all that happened on the day when the electoral college vote was supposed to be certified by a senate that is actually a formality nothing that is usually a big story or a big deal congress then approves the victory of the incoming president but donald trump called on vice president mike pence to not certify those votes and that would essentially mean to overturn a democratic election at the same time there were rallies taking place demonstrations trump supporters and at this rally spoke to his followers and asked them to go to the capital and to show strength that's what he asked them to do and what we know what happened after that a violent entered the capital 5 people were killed and many call this now a failed coup attempt. now we have 7 days left of trumps presidency

and his fate is now up to the senate's. that is correct although senate majority leader mitch mcconnell has already said that there will not be a trial before inauguration and therefore then also there will not be a republican dominated senate anymore the democrats will be able to shape the rules they don't have the necessary 2 thirds that they would need to. to win against donald trump and to remove him from office but they will certainly make a statement one for the history books right correspondent all of the sellers in washington many thanks let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world health care workers in peru have gone on strike there demanding higher pay and better protection from the coronavirus for frontline workers more than $200.00 doxes have

a guinea to a government or he will try to find other ministers and create some kind of majority but he doesn't have that he may have to resign and then the president will call on consultations and who knows we might see a technocrat government or we might see fresh elections which is something that nobody really wants right now. reporting from there now the german government has signed off on a plan to require travelers from covert 19 hotspots to get tested before entering the country germany's health minister young spahn said the measures were needed to guard against the new mutation of the virus which is believed to be more transmissible he also said germany's current lockdown will be extended into february inspections and deaths are still high levels the government's is also facing criticism over what many say is a sluggish rollout of vaccinations after more than 2 months of increasingly tougher

restrictions in germany the number of new infections and deaths from the corona virus remains alarmingly high speaking in parliament on wednesday german health minister young defended the government's vaccination plan the target of criticism in recent weeks. the fact that vaccines are in short supply worldwide is a fact that we cannot change. this is the same for us as it is for almost all other countries in the e.u. and around the world the reason for this shortage at the beginning of the vaccination rollout is a lack of production capacity and not a lack of purchasing contracts for. opposition parties weren't convinced or because from the business friendly f.t.p. to the left party the vaccine rollout was criticised for being slow and chaotic for the greens germany's federal political system is partly to blame our federal system has wonderful advantages but it also sometimes slows down the process and i think

that the roll out was rather a question of internal german matter then of e.u. policy and that's where we should improve and fix it where needed. germany has so far administered the job to more than 750000 people but has vaccinated a lower share of the population than several other you countries with vaccines from more manufacturer has been approved the hope is that enough those will be available for the rollout to soon pick up pace. some football news now and reigning german cup champions byron munich have been knocked out of the 2nd round of the competition by 2nd division side holsteiner kiel with byan leading to one kiel equalized at the last 2nd to send the match into extra time then at the with the score still to all 8 when should penalties were killed converted every kick but by and missed one this is the 1st time in 20 years that by and have exits at the german cup this early. you're watching u.w.
