the food producers their protests represent one of the biggest challenges so far should the authority of india's prime minister render modi. coming up next america 1st is out by americans is it rob ross will tell us more about president joe biden's new plan to jumpstart manufacturing in the u.s. say to. the. people for g.w. off each book and twitter up to date and in touch.

by calling me and i'm game in those of the 17 trillion land on the east coast killed worldwide sure so that we can encourage them but it's not just the animal still suffering it's the environment meanwhile on in germany to find ways out of the meat machine if you want to know how one cliff to the priest i'm conscious changed as a meeting he says listen to our podcast on the green comes. after america 1st day as buy american president joe biden's bids to boost domestic manufacturing strikes a similar tone to the us if his previous when asked what it means for engineers outside the us. meanwhile biden's pick for treasury secretary janet yellen has been confirmed by the u.s. . and it she's the 1st woman to take the role of. times dodes look at the down

we'll meet another woman who has broken through the glass ceiling and clawing to the top of her profession this time in texas. this is due to be business on robots in berlin welcome to the program u.s. president joe biden has signed an executive order forcing government agencies to buy american he hopes to increase government but kill him and give us made goods to boost manufacturing and construction american allies had hoped biden entering office would signal a return to economic liberalization especially with the $600000000000.00 that federal agencies spend every year for grabs well here's what president biden had to say and today we're getting to work to rebuild the backbone of america and the fracturing unions of the middle class is based on a simple promise that will reward work not wealth in this country and they keep

plank of ensuring the future will be made in america. that means we're going to use taxpayers' money to rebuild america we'll buy american products and support american jobs our competitors aren't waiting to assure the future is made in america we need to win not just the jobs today but the jobs and industries of tomorrow. biden's pick to lead the treasury department has now been confirmed by the u.s. senate and it's a familiar face to a strong vote of confidence. if not the a's are $84.00 the nays are 15 and the senate confirmed janet yellen as new treasury secretary with an overwhelming majority of $84.00 to $15.00 yellen no stranger to the world of finance lead the world's biggest central bank from 2014 to 2018.

of course janet yellen is best known for her chair chair for her tenure as chair of the federal reserve overseeing a period of falling unemployment and steady economic recovery from the global financial crisis few people possess the experience and expertise that miss yellen would bring to the treasury particularly during this moment of economic crisis. the 74 year old says she hopes to revive the economy with a massive covert 19 relief package she urged lawmakers to act big given historically low interest rates in spite of soaring federal debt the administration's 1.9 trillion dollars economic relief bill includes another round of direct stimulus payments to individuals and small business is also planned our long term investments in infrastructure. well let's talk a bit more about this with our financial correspondent ashutosh condé he joins us

joins us even from frankfurt so a familiar face in janet yellen just some a bit more about. well yes absolutely she's a familiar face and the markets were really excited when her name 1st cropped up and that's the reason why because she is a known doll and she's made her intentions pretty clear in the congressional hearing when she said that they need to act big on the stimulation stimulus measures to bring out america from the current crisis and without getting much about the debt levels he said because of the historically low levels of interest rates it's all manageable and then she also a very credible face because of 4 decades long experience in washington technical expertise so yes that's again a major positive for fall for the markets somebody who's known to create jobs. actually known to be a very broad jobs kind of

a person and that's going to come in handy in the current crisis which has actually led to millions of americans losing jobs you mention markets seem happy about it but what about the united states international partners the world what's the reaction been in places like europe. well to begin with when the name came up everybody was excited because he is a familiar face and nobody wants to act to deal with somebody who is not a known entity and in this case she is definitely a known entity people know that she's known to work well she would be expected to work well with the federal reserve which wasn't the case in the previous regime so somebody actually have come from germany a german finance minister a lot of shows congratulated her calling her an impressive person he's hopeful that perhaps she could play an instrumental role in the world reaching an agreement on digital taxation then the e.c.b.

president christina god she's also quite hopeful of yellen studio and she says that she would actually lead america out of the current crisis and i quote she said inclusively and smartly we've been hearing a bit about biden's plans to invest in infrastructure and in green energy how the market's been reacting to what we're hearing about his policies going forward. the markets have been from the very beginning from the very beginning it's not nothing new it's been a campaign promise he's promised to. industry by spending a lot and encouraging people to buy american products so the markets have been pretty upbeat about his spending plans the only thing that they are a little concerned is about his taxation plans so whether the taxes are going to increase or not i mean that is something that he's indicated that perhaps they have

to go up. for now the law or clarity as to when that that is going to happen is going to derail the recovery that is taking place which is still fragile and so it perhaps it would be pushed back a little later. in his tenure but for now is his spending plans have definitely got a major thumbs up from the markets we've also been hearing about this buy american we're hearing similar rhetoric we might have expected from trim by american and made in america big buzz phrases for biden is not being received well in the united states. well yes in the united states but globally there is some sort of skepticism and skepticism of all of that because there are doubts that whether he's going to be the free trade that the world is looking at and clearly does not come across as if you just go by his campaign promises of buying american products of bill in america and things like that. globally there are some apprehension but then

he has indicated that he's ready to work with his internet with his international partners and he's not going to work unilaterally in this globalized world but those supporters of globalization is really what i see what this mean. village just remain to him promoting certain industries in america is it going to be more broader. us staying or looking inwards rather more protective protectionist kind of a measure that donald trump has a spouse doing it's to you know. is it going to be made that only going to move broadly into a more broad based kind of in economic growth so that is something that the markets are still trying to decipher but for now they are excited about his plans and he's spending plans in particular. i should toss from the in front of forrest thanks for

joining us now speaking of work we turn to one group that's historically faced challenges in securing jobs in this in australia unemployment among people on the autistic spectrum is 3 times the general unemployment rate of people with a disability and $96.00 times the rate of people without is the story of 2 or to stick men and their work. these 2 men in canberra have new jobs as a data analyst and a software developer a government agency it has been a struggle in the past for them to find meaningful employment they have autism and they found standard interview prestigious can be overwhelming you get a room with somebody and you kind of go and pick this this this guy doesn't make eye contact so we couldn't possibly trusting to do to do any work for us they're hiring as part of a shift in australia where fans are beginning to embrace who are creatures

acquiring the autism advantage. and from our perspective what we've got by simply keeping an open mind is people that have the skills that we require they're highly specialised and they're highly desirable from our perspective. i had tonto specializes in finding jobs for people on the autism spectrum but gordon and nick forward there was only one job that i wanted and i was the 1st pick for so. great and it seems to be working out well whatever the opposite of bullying is that that's what i've experienced here but there's still a long way to go but more than 2 thirds of working age people on the spectrum are unemployed. janet yellen that now let's meet another woman who's breaking ground this time in istanbul where nazli young mash has reached dizzying heights. with bucket and cleaning products in hand the crew has to balance along the edge of the

roof top attached to a thin wire they slowly move forwards. this red rope is where nazli gets to work now every move is a matter of life and death are met is laid under the safety rope so that the sharp elaman human edge of the roof doesn't cut into it her life hangs on this thread. now the real work can begin. with. we are 130 meters up it's a wonderful feeling i really feel free i'm not dependent on anything apart from my rope. and as lee uses mountaineering techniques she learnt during her training it was hard both physically and mentally but she believed in herself against all odds. going through the training pointless you'll never be
