all of its troops in the longest war in u.s. history bunch of. other nato countries including germany will also withdraw from the country. you're watching the news live from berlin my colleague rob watch will have business news right after this. my 1st boss was a sewing machine. icon for all women are bound by this ocean for. something as simple as learning how to write them by psychos isn't. since i was a little good i want to have a bicycle off my home and it took me as the months. finally they gave up and mentioned by me on my side and 3 times because sewing machine sewing i suppose was more apt procreates for goods than writing

a. novel i want to reach out to those woman back home football into my bedroom and social rules and inform them of old dead basic rights my name is the matter of the home and i wore even the. americans are spending again u.s. retail sales let's 10 percent last month combined that with improving jobs figures and another record order for the dow and you get a picture of a recovering economy. turmoil at the top of turkey's central bank is the nothing to help the economic woes that look at the problems took sufficing. were also check out the new hope for german businesses desperate to escape the right of a. restrictions and encrypted tracking tracings month and. this is due to be

business on robots in berlin welcome to the program. the u.s. economic recovery is picking up pace with optimism driving the dow jones index past 34000 points for the 1st time data shows that americans want to get spending again retail sales rose nearly 10 percent in march and fewer workers are losing their jobs 576000 people applied for unemployment benefits last week as well below forecasts and the lowest number since the pandemic hit so let's cross to financial correspondent in new york quarter and discuss yet more positive signs for the u.s. economy what's driving it well i mean partly just a modest checks since early march about $400000000000.00 in both similar checks from the last pickets have been sent to americans so that clearly made quite

a difference and then also spring is there even if it doesn't appear that work it's a good day so you have more outdoor dining and then clearly also all those are mass vixen nations that's also helping and if we look at the labor market that's also improved quite a bit if we compare it to last year those almost $600000.00 claims the best numbers since the spring of last year and historically that's still incredibly high but jim steadily the labor market is also improving. another milestone for the dow jones on thursday 34000 points for the 1st time how is american big business doing. you know well i mean the sky is the limit and just in late november the dow jones industrial average for the 1st time ever surprise the 30000 point mark so now we're at 34 is the tipping point so you really wonder where that whole thing will end up

obviously investors do not see any big risk at least at the moment to business in general seems to be pretty good we are at the beginning of earning season and so far almost about 90 percent of the companies that have reported their earnings picture have exceeded expectations so there are some exceptions delta airlines for example on thursday announced a quarterly loss of almost 3000000000 dollars but overall the economy is improving companies are doing better and that reflects in those stock prices but at some point you really have to wonder if not all the gold you said all the good developments that we were hoping for already priced in to those tell us stock prices yes pleasant outlook even if it's not pleasant weather here in new york ends go into things a lot of bearing with the rain and bring us up to date. central bank has kept interest rates on hold and its 1st decision since president one

sacked his 3rd bank chief in 2 years and 2nd there is walling at all time lows as the country's already ailing economy struggles with curfews and lock downs. restaurant manager touch is at his wits end the lockdown forced him to shut his business with its 15 employees for months and now into ramadan as well because of rising coronavirus infection numbers to make matters worse inflation is running at a rate of 16 percent per month. we wanted to invest but we weren't able to we were too afraid we don't trust the economy because we don't know what will happen tomorrow because there is despair and insecurity. a lot of turks have lost faith in their economy many are unemployed and can barely afford anything as a lier as value plummets shopkeepers and bakers are forced to constantly raise

their prices flour and other ingredients are becoming more expensive by the day the pandemic has also kept tourists away which for many was their main source of income . my pockets are empty of course the crisis affects me because we have no money there's no economy there's no plan for improving the situation they say they have a plan but i don't see it. the economic situation has affected me i lost my job during the pandemic like so many people here i've been unemployed for about 4 to 5 months now there's president rigid tell you have ed i want has long promised to boost the economy and get inflation back under control but with that ambition looking rather hollow in march he replaced his 3rd central bank chief in just 2 years we are determined to bring the rising inflation back to single digits we will succeed. but that wasn't the 1st time ever to one proclaims that

and the situation still hasn't improved will his new central bank chief really be the game changer everyone hopes for. now germany's highest court has ruled that the linz controversial rent controls lawful federal judges say the city's government tod's no legal power to introduce the legislation last year rents were frozen for many tenants the constitutional court ruling those changes nolan void the government called it a day for the city's rent is well here's more from our financial correspondent in front of it chelsea delaney. today's court decision is seen 1st and foremost as a way for germany's largest landlords many of them have been extremely critical of this law they said it made them not want to rent their apartments and made them not want to invest in new ones and so we've seen the shares really rallying on today's decision which avant to be one of the largest property managers here and germany's

thought shares rise about 7 percent the novia was up about 5 percent but those stocks have really quickly given back most of those games and now focus is really shifting to what comes next and already many politicians and activists are pushing the federal government to step in and introduce a national cap on rents from within the federal government already there's been a push back from peter outlier who's the economy minister here in germany he says he doesn't want to do that instead he wants to incentivize people to build more real estate so the fight over how to solve this housing shortage is still far from over. so if you delay me in front forests now for some of the other global business stories making the news. you could losses of $1200000000.00 in the 1st quarter of the pandemic as that in the quarter as the pandemic story continued to weigh on demand but the carrier says ticket sales have been stronger in the past 2 weeks

than any time since the pandemic hit is hoping to be profitable again by late summer. how do says it's cutting its output in china. by 30 percent this month because of the global chip shortage that means producing $20000.00 fewer vehicles a semiconductor crisis has been plaguing carmakers since last year forcing the temporary closure of some factories. and leading researches have warned that the worsening coronavirus crisis in germany is threatening the economic recovery with the country facing a prolonged lockdown the greek downgraded its forecast for growth from 4.7 percent to 3.7 percent over last year. sticking with germany thousands of shot and restaurant owners are calling for a new approach to the country's pandemic policies many of spent months either closed or under tight restrictions some hope comes though in the form of

a new encrypted app which simplifies the tracking and tracing of customs. for months most of an order one has only been allowed to sell food and drink to go only alcohol free beverages are allowed to be consumed here immediately. and he's longing to at least open up his terrors to customers again. greatest which of course is to open up completely again with distancing with all the hygiene measures he's hoping a simplified track and trace system will make that possible until now his guests had to fill out a form in which they often gave false names and telephone numbers. that won't be possible with the new look at which is being deployed in berlin to keep track of covert 19 infections a user registers with the out which gives them an encrypted q.r. code uses scan their q.r. code when they enter a business which the business owner can't decode. and it's absolutely brilliant

that's exactly what we have to have. in the clear my guests are in the clear we're all taken care of something comes up the health office knows about it immediately. or it can be followed up more easily it's great that. in the event a restaurant guest or shop customer test positive the person concerned transmits their checking data to the responsible public health office. staff can decipher the data and call up the encoded data from affected locations. the app was devised by bell in startups news in you know and culture for life. we could see the some catching up to do because so far it involved comparing whole excel tables and phoning around manually lots and lots of time was being lost and those affected could have been informed much earlier that the process we've digitalized. cultural institutions were among the 1st to demand the up including some renowned german

bands but competing at developers think the hype surrounding luca is unfounded and say its data security is substandard. i think the central plank of the criticism which upsets many people the most is centralised data storage. and we want to avoid that. without a solution the data storage is decentralized via the different up providers. data protection activists a decentralized data storage is less vulnerable to hack attacks and abuse and they also point to security loopholes it will take some time before all down to dispelled and all public health departments are connected with luka but anyway with few exceptions lockdowns means there's not much prospect of it being any use for some time. so mystify will also have to bide his time until he can once again serve his mediterranean speciality he's in house even though the state of berlin has just

signed a 1200000 euro contract with deluca makers. and also from the in the business team here in berlin for more as our website team to beat up com slash business you can also find us on facebook and twitter of course thanks for joining us let's go next next time. people in trucks injured when trying to flee the city center more and more refugees are being turned away. for. demonstrators. extreme. to be. told more than

this season the stories focus on hate speech prevention and sustainable production . all of this ode are available online and of course you can share and discuss on africa's facebook page and other social media platforms. crime fighters now. on this show a film that's making a splash under style of its lead actor we'll take a closer look at one of the contenders for this year's best film also coming up. it was a ship that. takes on old traditions turned a postman living in a backwater town into an internet sensation. and how a photographer is capturing everyday life in germany during the coronavirus

pandemic. welcome to arts and culture it's award season and in 10 days time it's the biggest of them all the sound of metal is nominated in 6 categories including best actor and film it's inventive use of sound design gives hearing audiences an insight into what it might be like to go deaf the film's main character is a musician who like beethoven loses his hearing in the prime of his korea. heavy metal drummer reuben stone is in the middle of a tour when it happens suddenly he can't hear anything anymore. frustrated then he takes. and then comes the diagnosis. your hearing used to

curating rapidly. the film by darrius model lets the audience hear exactly what that means. and disregards his doctor's advice. to come back to learn the we just keep going to. the. and see what it's like ok i'm going to be like a contract you complain to me. it was quite an intensive process you know just on an emotional level was very war script very small and. broke something really really heart rending and just going to that place on an emotional level was was quite involving but then of course there were these technical elements to the role as well. riz ahmed says he 1st had

to learn to play drums for the role but this isn't really the story of a musician it's a very sensitive film about people with hearing loss. trying to save one life. through those people who are no can be damned crude place. or smooth still some of the biggest lessons for me on a personal level i guess learning about. community understanding that deafness isn't a disability for people it's a culture so a way of being in the world. that we can learn a lot from you know i always say deaf people have best listeners other than listening isn't just about you you is about your attention focus your energy. the title sound of metal takes on a new and surprising meaning in the film's final act this is a remarkable movie in every way riz ahmed has won several acting awards he could

add an oscar as best actor in a leading role that would make this actor with pakistani parents the 1st muslim to win in that category. and good luck to him and life in lockdown has been a challenge for all of us but as they say every cloud has a silver lining some people have discovered new talent all know change existing ones the subject of our next report was a postman living far from the bright lights before his tiny take on traditional music made him a star. see there. was a simple rhythm and a centuries old melody has changed nathan evans live forever.

well a man is a sea shanty evans rendition of this maritime work song has earned the scotsman a spot at the top of europe's pop charts. i'm just we hope. that's because until recently nathan evans was a postman in the town of airdrie glasgow in his free time he'd uploaded videos of himself performing pop or folk songs to tick talk at his followers request he started covering sea shanties like we've heard johnny will we do. see late last year evans landed a surprise hit when his version of the new zealand wailing song soon made the wellman come went viral. that i expect it would go away to hear. a song that would bend the charts and all all into. this song made

a big splash and soon the internet was flooded with people singing well a man during the corona pandemic the sea shanty clearly touched a nerve as it tells of the loneliness said see one of the talking is don't. call it all in the digital age the internet community has taken the place of abode could using tick tocks duet function virtual sailors courses have sprung up all across the globe. even prominent musicians like us violinist lindsey sterling and british guitarist brian may have gotten. dark in the shanty crazy. i was speechless when i phoned that brain made joined and. enjoyed way about joined. by a lot like seeing all these people to see shanice enjoy and it's just incredible and

it's. i would never imagine that this was going on. with a recording contract in his pocket nathan evans quit delivering mail to concentrate on his musical career he's currently working on his 1st album and eventually hopes to go into a. much. and in the studio with me is my colleague adrian kennedy quite remarkable success story they adrian arctics talk an instagram wheels creating a new generation of music stars yes indeed perhaps the most famous example of the power of these shorts form video platforms came about a few months back you possibly remember fleet max in 1000 seventy's hit dreams really entered the pop charts after after nathan dark was

a video of himself riding his long cord while lip sync into the song went viral. think word of the band joined in the fun he said with 6600000 followers on tick tock i say he's an internet celebrity but how 7 often does an online singing star break out and transfer that success to the music charts not so often the short form video platforms are more something that can give a song old or new a boost uses lip sync to it they share the videos they invite other people to make videos using that same. saul for launching a career perhaps the best option is you choop still making a cover version is a very good way of getting attention on terrio based sisters callahan and cassandra starr armstrong uploaded a version of hallelujah just a month ago. and

hallelujah they've got $5000000.00 hits they've got the attention of the industry you can now buy a song on i tunes and spotify the rest is up to them i suppose and i think that might be the hardest part but it's not just people who can become stars right no talented animals can apply to meet chico the powered from the you tube channel frank mario chico and the man that zeros version of a cd sees a whole lot of love has not stopped 2000000 viewers for speculation. whole lot so score and exactly what the internet was possibly made for magri with the idea where it does look as if the parent has found their vocation great chatting to you as ever a.j. thank you. now we've all had our own responses to how the world has changed over

the past year german photographer in the mob you're noting saw it as a call to action he just finished his studies when the 1st knockdown hit undaunted he took up his camera and journeyed 9000 kilometers across germany capturing the transform ation of daily life as it happened. a man dressed up for carnival alone injured. musicians playing in a few. a church service in a drive in cinema. i was interested in seeing what way society would find to cope with the situation. since march 2020 talk refer. has travelled some 1000 kilometers to document life in a country under state of emergency trying to cope with the coronavirus through a measured approach knowlton has titled his project measure and middle.

daughter this museum of art and cultural history has now bought some of his photos for its permanent collection. and said she would be in favor of proceeding in a measured moderate way and that's a good description of the german political style in recent years and maybe also the feeling dugout to successfully through the 1st wave 25 year old somewhat reserved photographic style is perfectly suited to capturing the atmosphere in a country keeping its distance. he set out right after completing his photography degree capturing moments start encapsulate the crisis. empty makeshift hospitals during the 1st lockdown and german. beaches during the euphoric summer of east restriction. intensive care units at full capacity photographing with low contrast. and in high definition high tends to documentary style scenes making farm

workers and right wing protesters seem like figures than oil paintings nolting also photographed artists such as we're going to cameron carpenter seen here at one of his 1st streamed audience less concerts and berlin's concept house. in them of us think it was a pretty tense situation for him because it was a very different way of performing about this i really enjoyed it because i noticed how much i missed going to concerts and being able to enjoy life music. i had thought of. his musical life who. no matter how long depended on it continues. to keep taking photos until the coronavirus no longer a place a mole in society that's likely to be a long term project. it's so important to document the times we're living through let's hope one day those

photos will serve as a reminder of what we collectively overcame don't forget to check out our website called culture of thanks for watching arts and culture. more than a 1000 years ago europe witnesses a huge construction boom. christianity for millions stablished itself. both religious and secular leaders to display their power. drain speaking. and create the tallest biggest and most beautiful structures. stone masons builders and architects compete with each

other. this is how massive churches are created. a. contest of liquor. stores. on t.w. . and imagine a national team starring all blocks from slovenia mother beach from croatia jayco from bosnia herzegovina and the trauma serbia. well 30 years ago that would have been possible because they'd all have come from the. same country yugoslavia estate

which no longer exists but its footballers still impress. the countries that used to make up your islamiya produced talent after talent after talent wise that. croatia even reached the world cup final a country of only 4000000 people beating argentina england and russia. in 1900 gracious finished 3rd at their world cup debut. debut why debut. because until the early nineties corrodes were part of yugoslavia along with slovenes bosnian serbs montenegrins and message only ends. yugoslavia always had good footballers. but more toward the country apart in 1901 i this mean the end of football there boy if i'm not sure none of the success or states national

teams are as successful as croatia. are still serving as the 4th largest export nation of footballers worldwide now compare serbia's population to those of other important export countries. another former yugoslav republic bosnia-herzegovina made it to the world cup in 2014. and ignore the macedonia to euro 2021 how many x. yugoslavs are on the team you support probably plenty if it's in syria which posed a record $47.00 of them. why are people from this region so good well 1st of all former yugoslavia always was a true footballing nation. the sport was already popular there before world war 2 yugoslavia played at the 1st 2 world cup in europe why 930 they even reached the semifinal. after world war 2 the cause. she became communist and soon fell out with

the soviet union it shows a 3rd way between communism and capitalism so you were sloppy also look to west toward in many ways. also when it came to football you live as long as you need cold war experience. is really one of the key reasons why football is social another factor in that succession that you used the extension we. invest in school by the fifty's and sixty's yugoslavia really has caught teenage forcing him to structure this paid off yugoslavia reached the world cup quarter finals in 19541958. they won the olympics in 1960 and came in 4th at the 1962 world cup they make the finals of euro 196068. remarkable success of their country over $20000000.00 inhabitants only to. that club level yugoslavia's big 4 had established themselves as powerhouses the numbers

are going to be hard to explain and belgrade sides red star and parties on their youth academies produced outstanding talent like a title can the creation coastal tell not simply. trench for us start to happen on a fairly regular basis. such as hard for example coming in. company this is so successful when so many players are going abroad the use of the word satiation brings in this rule players are allowed to leave the country until the alleged ones are not a very popular policy but it did ensure the domestic yugoslav league was of a high standard. from the combat level from the age of 14 basically these players played together on the very regular basis and got to know each other and as most football fans know 'd chemistry is a very. aspect of successful scene resulting in

a strong league with well supported domestic players big club succeeding in europe and a formidable yugoslav national team. in the 80s a new generation of footballers turned this to gold they won the 1987 youth world championship in chile players like bubba should get a yard of me up to each and came to light they left their mark on ninety's football at today out of. milan and others. but they didn't have time to make their mark as a national team hatred was being stirred up among yugoslavia's different ethnicities violence in a game between the star belgrade herald at the war that would follow. thank you paul goldberger they get on but to be able to build a community for them if you join. the service but you visit going to get a bunch of awarded p 3 back up. a source which.

is the scene you know the history of rights and the more it moves. in 1901 the war started yugoslavia fell apart. how did this affect this very talented generation and football as a whole in the region. most incredibly just weeks before the war began red star belgrade still won the equivalent of the champions league in may 991 but shortly after just like thousands of civilians footballers were leaving the region musts. red star belgrade lost nearly their entire team overnight after the 1991 triumph. their players left for a way out of me. and others it wasn't just red star other top clubs also struggled and have yet to fully recover. what we see. all use an exodus of challenge anywhere where they can get

a contract where they don't have to stay in that in the context xing plays do that . and we see the creation of multiple week despite all this one of the new national teams managed to rise from the ashes of yugoslavia quite quickly. after its independence gray should join fifa initially there were into 125th in the world only 2 years later and i had moved up to 62nd. and another 2 years later they played at euro $996.00 that made it to the quarterfinals. why did they develop so fast. sure their players that had won the $87.00 youth world championship their players like to go to steve months and darva sugar over now in their prime. but there was another critical factor triggered by the war identity. they were not just considered ambassadors of identity or sort of this newly formed

question of entity but they also saw themselves as ambassadors of identity they felt. particular and the extra special motivation for the role that they were in football played a very specific role as as a sacred center of. the 998 world cup creation even came in 3rd. although they had to wait 20 years for similar success 2nd place at the 2018 world cup patriotic impetus is still considered a reason for gracious outsized performance. will see i mean actually done a good source on the guy early not gonzales was never this at all smith not your disability etc england though is so national francis quite well at the local market a child will call along with him as much does it said the child she is an odd mix

at the welsh only sort i genuinely i met arthur. and i will guess what only bitchy . bigots of us a lot of. things are quite different in serbia and montenegro the un saw them as the aggressor in the yugoslav words sanctions prevented the national teams and clubs from playing abroad. brought up well you don't get it but let's not lose you people believe it was you get a little richer we must have got a lot of. economists the. c.m. what's wrong and so if you get to the next it will be me not just all. serbs and montenegrins came back now as federal republic of yugoslavia admitted to world cup 1908 and euro 2000 they too had their share of the golden generation like me out of reach and players from european cup winning red star. senior. corps

down 70 to reach. plus the excellent youth work survived the war one outstanding example is quite a tease until a great academy. but these are no mothers. who did this if he did not wish to be your she actually. your name is. always said to me the service production of youth talent is so massive that the country is listed as the world's 4th largest export nation of footballers which is often a recipe for club survival was an option not to be got. a lot of the. leaders created this really are never going to see me at least the reason is what you really got a lot of young kossovo to build its football on these pillars relying on patriotic impetus and recruiting from a large diaspora before corona in late 2019 i went to your

wife as youngest member. was once an autonomous province of serbia and declared independence in 2008 it was admitted to you a friend 2016 and almost qualified for euro 2021. war torn and still not recognized by some major countries such as russia or china in kosovo football is clearly much more than just football. the way there are certain. things like that are very exciting you know which i like. and you work with if you want made me want to want to watch. it so this pride the diaspora factor ok was actually born in kosovo but goalkeeper morici in switzerland or defender in germany. possibles football team is also about

nation building and with all the enthusiasm this seems to work so far. finally in northern macedonia qualify. for euro 2021. this former yugoslav republic did not come out of nowhere either. but. was a continuation of the yugoslav school with an emphasis on good youth work. on side those in seats on monday and only in the hundreds you are almost. all i know in all and quite similar. as these again are. yes in all of them arms from yugoslavia has left more than just the traces and today's football that laid the foundation for an unstoppable production of talent and some great success against the odds.
