a record high with an aggressive coronavirus denial meant adding fuel to the fire. i'm jared ray thank you very much for your company authorities in mexico city are promising a full investigation into a deadly metro accident accident at least 24 people died and dozens were injured when an elevated section of track collapsed on monday night local residents have been expressing concerns about cracks in the structure for many years. the gene up operation is under way to train carriages hang above the road creating a daunting rescue operation for emergency workers lined 12 is the newest of mexico city's metro system the train was traveling between stops when the overpass. gave
1:02 am
way sending rubble and carriages tumbling down onto a busy road well it says of those trapped to face a nervous wait for any news. my daughter in law told us she was with my son and she told us the structure fell down over them. again of the mother. but. we don't have any news about my sister we don't have her name in the list we called her cell phone and there was no answer. so some of us are looking for her in different hospitals. god willing we'll find her a little more. rescue workers initially use ladders to gain access to the survivors the 4th artie's halted the rescue operation due to concerns the train could fall at any moment a crane later arrived to secure the carriages. course he can then there was peace here they were you've got a car as always the attorney general's office must carry out an investigation that
1:03 am
began just last night but we are also looking today for an international company that is certified in both subway and structural matters to carry out an external technical investigation so that we can get to the bottom of this unfortunate incident. 912 construction was plagued by complaints and there are reports that damage was noticed on the overpass many years ago. so let's go straight to mexico city now and speak to journalist i told he joins us from the scene of the accident good to see you there i talk bring us up to speed please on what's been happening today where you are today. yeah you just so minutes ago. did. they spend 17 hours. to take this going because. there's.
1:04 am
no they are starting their investigation that their governor of the city girl or shimon has said that it will be run by a foreign company and meanwhile the entrance of the nearest hospital is there many people trying to know something they are relatives there is still. the accident not died in the fire so i told authorities are promising transparency when it comes to the investigation is still very early days though but what's being said about why this overpass collapsed. you know we don't know so much for sure it was an up or double tragedy many of the neighbors here reported many many times the structure of this bridge that you can see. even 12 was closed one year after the
1:05 am
opening due to these defects and labor you need of the workers has said that there may be there possibility that much or worse goes was provoked by some failure in the construction in the materials of this bridge. i thought mexico city's metro system is one of the busiest in the world are there safety concerns about other sections of the system. yes for sure anyway governor of a house order to open all the rest of their lines but. labor unit of met through a system has asked. gov to close all the lines because it could be all their ranks affected an address. we have to remember that mexico city has that crowd this subway iraq. more than 5000000 people are
1:06 am
using it. every day i talk we know that at least 24 people were killed many dozens more were injured what's known about the victims. will know so much about it because they are still in the hospital. very said before . of this injured people are not identify we can imagine which state there are. bodies and all. of the corpses were inside. the rubbish of this iron rubbish was difficult to determine mine and also that. i complain of the neighbors the neighbors here now there are asking for some answers about this tragedy and i was journalist i taught is joining us from the scene of the metro actually the accident in mexico city thank you very
1:07 am
much i talk. to you to the coronavirus situation in south asia now for weeks infections and this have been rising with alarming speed in india but it's very different picture in its neighbor bungler dish a lockdown there appears to be working and infection numbers have started to drop the government is extending the restrictions until mid may but the country's poorest residents are struggling to find work and in some cases even food. there are many new mails to feed in the bangladeshi capital dhaka. the coronavirus pandemic and the lockdown are hitting people hard. especially those already straining to make ends meet. so many the food provided by this charity is all they have to eat at the end of their daily ramadan fast or if.
1:08 am
i mean if i've lost my job in this coronavirus pandemic i have no earnings so i come here if talk. to go buy all these are staying well i pull my rickshaw under the sun but i make very little money and i'm too poor to buy if they are so i come here for free food. the government imposed districts nationwide lockdown and a poll to try to contain a massive surge in infections. they're optimistic that the measures are working as cases appear to be falling. but the restrictions are taking a heavy toll. more than 2 thirds of people in bangladesh have been forced to stop work or close their businesses at least for a time because of the pandemic. downs are hitting our bread and butter i stopped dates for ramadan because the lock down i had to keep my shop closed the dates are
1:09 am
rotting as i was unable to sell them look this is difficult for us these lockdowns on the wood we're going to eat my purview is in skullcaps are still inside my closed shop i was expecting to sell them all during the month of ramadan before he'd but i doubt that's going to happen it is very problematic for us. but the government is resisting pressure to open up more quickly saying this would lead to more casualties especially with the end of ramadan approaching in the middle of may. they're also concerned that what's happening in india could come to bangladesh . they say if the indian variant is allowed to circulate on the streets of bangladesh the consequences would be devastating. to urging bangladeshis not to let their guard down despite their desire to get back to normal for many though the situation is already dire and will only get worse if the pandemic is not brought
1:10 am
under control. ok let's take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has failed to form a government the fallacy of prolongs israel's political deadlock and could jeopardize netanyahu has run as the country's longest serving prime minister president ruben rivlin is now likely to give one of netanyahu is rivals a chance to form a government. foreign ministers from the g. 7 group of industrialized countries wrapped up a 2nd day of talks ahead of the latest summit in june relations with russia and china took up much of their agenda u.s. secretary of state antony blinken also reaffirmed washington's loyalty to its allies turning the page on the previous administration's america 1st policy. tanzania's new president. who has arrived in nairobi for talks with her kenyan counterpart to promote tried and relations off the use of trade and to force
1:11 am
relations between the 2 countries deteriorated during the tenure of president hassan previous sister who died suddenly in march. well the situation in ethiopia and continues to deteriorate as the conflict and to is it 6 a month millions of people have been displaced and even more dependent on to survive children are among the most affected almost 5000 have been separated from their parents while fleeing for their lives and others have lost lost relatives to the violence alone frightened and uncertain of the future. thousands of children have become separated from their parents during the war and. today cared for by aid workers but what will tomorrow bring. oh. this fighting is the
1:12 am
hardest thing i've been 3. many people have been killed many homes have been destroyed. we left home early in the morning after we heard explosions it was right after we'd gone to visit around go for a few days when. we had to run for our lives. some of the children were separated from their parents while fleeing the fighting others have been orphaned all require medical care food and shelter aide workers don't have the necessary equipment to help them at the moment the the needs on the ground a huge and what we're seeing is not enough funding to support the services that are required to reach trojan and their families so a lot of the health care facilities and to grow and not functioning at the moment they've been damaged due to the conflicts and i have heard
1:13 am
a lot of stores and equipment looted aid organizations warn that without immediate intervention the situation could spiral completely out of control. while the children and she cry cry out. the international response has been mostly silent. here in germany the number of crimes committed by right wing extremists has jumped to its highest level in 20 years according to a government report released today interior minister horsy hoffa described the right wing extremism as the biggest threat to national security the report says most of these attacks are motivated by racism it also highlights a new risk from the increasingly aggressive coronavirus denial movement which is being linked to anti-semitism and democratic speech and right wing violence. earlier we asked a kilo from the neo nazi watchdog ennis you watch whether this attitude will change
1:14 am
in the way the country is policed yet you always hear me say it now but we don't see the right minute measurements taken are meant for example the qualities they have to take weapons away from the new nazis they are used to this in germany khomeini you know when you're not got weapons and know what makes them where and also that we have to stop talking about lone wolves have to see you not see and cry 3 networks. yeah they have to be thought. form being as netbios and structures and i think that maybe the problem will be smaller only segment is not enough we have to see a measurement that champions league league football and manchester city have reached the final for the 1st time ever after beating

1:16 am
tried to have a surprise yourself with what is possible who is magical really what you. want. to talk to people. the way maurice and critics want join us for michael's last stop . fires or sales rocket on the back of the covert 19 vaccine the pharma firm expects to sell $26000000000.00 worth of its jobs this year but it's mostly rich countries that are getting it. also on the show a ship one stop is still sunday waves through the maritime industry weeks after it was freed. and the promise of sun and see the portuguese island of madeira tries to lure in the world growing population of digital nomads. this is
1:17 am
d.w. business i'm joined now in berlin so happy you can join us we begin with the u.s. pharmaceutical heavyweight far as earth today it announced a big boost in its sales forecast for a covert 19 vaccine. $226000000000.00 for 2021 and that's just based on the contracts it's signed so far pfizer and by on tech have significant apply agreements with the united states and the european union despite announcing a big profit in the 1st quarter finals there is supplying just $40000000.00 doses this year to the un's kovacs initiative which aims to distribute vaccines to poorer countries. now it's worth noting that pfizer did say from the outset that it planned to make a profit from the cove and 19 job unlike a few of the vaccine producing rivals who are selling at cost now our financial correspondent joins us now to discuss this further as i understand more pathways
1:18 am
are opening up to fires or in terms of making money from this vaccine what more can you tell us you're well pfizer is hoping to get the clearance by the u.s. regulators there's probably early by next week so that the vaccine will be good for all teenagers trial few years older than they were hoping to not just getting the clearance as an experimental drug but get the all fishel clearance for the covert to fix even maybe by the end of the month of that would happen then pfizer could sell the vaccine directly to consumers and probably also could play around with the price of probably to the upside here in the united states and then there's also a lot of talk about that that might be a booster shot to necessarily necessary maybe 6 months after the 2nd dose some has been given so well there lies the potential for in this vaccine what just by the way at the moment the best selling product at pfizer incisor has mostly sold the
1:19 am
vaccine to rich countries was there a profit motive behind that or is there more to it. well i mean from the beginning pfizer said that yes they're in it for the profit they did not get some money from the u.s. government through the walk speeds program so therefore they were actually allowed to play around with the prices already even if not every country place the same of seed media reports that here in the u.s. one bills for example costs about $19.50 in israel $30.00 in developing countries less so there is a little bit of variation but if you look what happened so far at least when it comes to the world health organization about 87 percent of the vaccines from pfizer have gone to rich countries and only point 2 percent of the vaccine so out far have been delivered to poorer nations pfizer itself is saying well if you're
1:20 am
a poor country you pay less if you're a bit rich country your people can pay more but we don't get precise numbers how much profit pfizer makes from the vaccine but there are estimates that in the pos quarter just the profit was about 900000000 dollars pandemic windfall for 5 thank you very much there for us. now at this stage a reminder of pfizer once pledge that poorer countries would have the same access as the rest of the world to its vaccine earlier i spoke to our correspondent joy about how much pfizer has done to help ease the pandemic in africa if anything at all pfizer vaccine or in this case pfizer has done little to help with the pandemic and there are reasons for that one is that most african countries being in the law income countries category of going for the call box
1:21 am
facility which in this case they had to rely on the rigs in the should it to receive the vaccine and also as a vaccine would only be best distributed to countries we've a temperature or temperature of about 8 degree celsius and most african countries are way above the temperature level and so the storage infrastructure is not viable for most african countries. there now it's time for a look at some other business stories making headlines the biden administrate administration excuse me is working to send $20000000.00 worth of covert 19 medical supplies to brazil the package would include drugs to aid into beating patients brazil recently topped 400000 coronavirus deaths. the u.s. trade deficit hit a record high for the 2nd month in a row the deficit rose 5.6 percent to $74000000000.00 in march analysts point to
1:22 am
increased imports from china and growth in demand for foreign made consumer items. the world's largest oil company saudi aramco said its 1st quarter profit john by more than 30 percent to almost $22000000000.00 thanks to strong oil prices the state run company says global demand for petroleum products are recovering but still remains below pretty pandemic levels. the march of crypto currencies continues in the bay says it's open to cryptocurrency payment options c.e.o. jamie i know knee said in an interview with c.n.n. b.b.c. that the company has expanded its range of payments to include apple or google pay and would continue to seek out alternatives such as crypto currency. now this has become a symbol of how fragile global trade can be a massive container ships stuck in the spice canal the ever given haul to billions
1:23 am
of dollars in maritime trade the shipping company wants the owners of the cargo to share the cost of the damages i took a look at what the fiasco has meant for shipping and global trade. the ever given may no longer be stuck in this was but it's hardly home free it's still detained as the egyptian government demands $916000000.00 in compensation from the ship owners it's another number on top of an already have the price tag from the grounding. so we estimated the cost of $1.00 strips of shoe between $30.00 and $60000000000.00 so you can really reach beyond that we are very tiny little big see the world the global trade in that one you know ship across you know could actually walk something that looks like a very well or. the incident shown a spotlight on how big ships have gotten in the last decades as they link manufacturing from asia to growing consumption in the west today's largest ships
1:24 am
are able to hold around 24000 containers. so as consumption grows in trade volumes increase design mean ships are going to get bigger and definitely it seems as if container ships right now have filed somewhat of a maximum at least if we go also by. that record amount of. 45. ships were ordered and most. those were basically in the size of $15000.00 and not 232-4000 that was there was the preferred size 4 for investors and almost placing orders by the end of last year but the pull ups are one part of the story the goods they carry are another the grounding delayed deliveries at a time where the pandemic already caused a shortage in some parts and products even companies grappling with their supply chain it's a complex affair and resorting to something very complicated because you can't move
1:25 am
to solo it but you get on it for free i want to go to. rebuilding the north even for a structure that if you cost all of that takes time. but other industry observers say there is a larger discussion to be had beyond the paths that bring products to consumers it's less about singing about resiliency or look lessons of late teens than about reducing consumption about building supply chain models that are not as reliant on constant constant growth big ships that a lot of ways and supply chains that span the world the effects from the every given incident are still creating ripples because shipping is the strain holding modern capitalism together governments businesses consumers and regulators need to decide what lessons to derive from it and how best to act as a result. from moving goods to people moving if you are

a digital nomad the portuguese island of bear out might be the place for you the government is working hard to attract remote workers with warm weather and spectacular views. this is the view aleck's on to the pub from his office since february the self employed what developer has been living in the era has set up as part of a scheme or thora does have established to draw remote workers to the island. if you like a pro and also don't after a year for lockdown it's good to be outside better living being in the sun and eating outside. he's one of 100 digital nomads in the town of those sort. the idea for the project came from this man gonzalo hall who lobbied local authorities to invest 26000 euros to make my dear an attractive place for remote work. high speed internet this free for new arrivals as is the work space.
1:27 am
is we have $6400.00 applications pending it's a really big success will have to expand faster than we thought it was only the pilot project now too many people want to come it was just a little over the guards for the most of these to come with the system it is in. the arrivals integrate with locals by taking part in yoga seminars and walks. in return they bring money to the area by dining out or by simply doing their grocery shopping. and segment mood over it is a very important mark you'll see because they've become ambassadors from our dear office by sharing their experience but they don't know it's a small investment with a huge impact and. the hope is that the scheme will help cement madera as an attractive destination both for work and play.

1:31 am
is so important for both people and. the earth produces a rich variety of plants adapted to a wide range of habitats around the globe. there are 400000 species known to science less than 10 percent. rice and wheat accounts for more than half the global food supply. ever since humans began. collected scenes to plant. the 1st. over 10000 years ago by farmers in mesopotamia now modern day iraq and turkey some 200000 varieties of wheat alone have developed from that. having a wide range of crops and genetic diversity within each variety helps to secure our
1:32 am
food supply. the smaller the risk of wheat or some other state. by a single pest. that's why seed banks are so important the oldest is in st petersburg and dates back to 894 today the seed bank and germany boasts one of the world's most diverse collections. many of the seed stored here are found nowhere else a large seed archives have now been established all over the world. they each collect various scenes and plants from different regions. many are then stored at the global seed vault on the norwegian island of spitsbergen. but out in the fields the turned as towards less diversity during the 20th century alone an estimated 75
1:33 am
percent of crop diversity was lost according to the un's food and agriculture organization the reasons are many and varied. the industrialization of agriculture meant crops suddenly had to fulfil different requirements they have to produce a high yield all right then at the same time and not suffer damage being harvested by heavy machinery. our modern globalised trade network means fruit and vegetables no need to stay fresh while being transported over long distances very few varieties can live up to those demands that range of produce in our supermarkets is deceiving the tomatoes and cucumbers may look different but genetically they're very similar. this genetic poverty is not without risk in the 1970 s. for example a virus destroyed one quarter of the rice harvest across the whole of asia it was
1:34 am
only through cross breeding the rice with the wild variety that the crop became resistant to the virus thus rescuing the world single most important food staple. for thousands of years farmers have collected their own seeds and swapped them amongst themselves to improve their harvest and develop new varieties. but in recent decades a steadily declining number of seed companies has. in selling an increasingly limited range of sorts. 95 percent of cabbage varieties for example have already disappeared the companies designed their own crops and secure them with a patent they supply 2 thirds of the global market often farmers are unable to collect seeds and are required to buy certain fertilizers and pesticides but a growing number of people worldwide are seeking to reverse this trend by increasing crop diversity and distributing seeds without patents
1:35 am
a nonprofit organization in austria called nora or noah's ark collects seeds of old endangered varieties. it propagates the scenes and then passes them on to a supermarket chain which sells both the scenes and their produce. here the genetic diversity is genuine. now from the gardens of noah's ark in austria to the seeds of south america in ecuador protecting traditional sea varieties also indigenous traditions. is a farmer entered her and her village. corn seeds are staple here and fight for life in their community she conducts
1:36 am
a ceremony to thank. her for her bounty. for indigenous communities here in rural ecuador understanding seeds and different varieties is essential for survival but the old varieties are fast disappearing pushed aside by modern industrial alternatives 75 percent of traditional seed varieties and native plant species have already been lost. in the ecuadorian capital quito a collective is working to preserve native plants and crops they've already saved 3000 seed varieties which they now make available to farmers all over the country. have a year career a set up the network 18 years ago when he realised that industrial sea varieties were taking over. the
1:37 am
problem with industrial seeds is that they've been bred intensively to ensure they can withstand the use of agro chemicals. they're not designed for natural farming methods and have no genetic diversity in themselves. so the seeds can't adapt to different places and conditions yet up. all the seed varieties here in the store are free of disease and plant debris they're stored without use of chemicals with every seed they pass on javier corella and his team are also helping to preserve a traditional way of life ensuring valuable expertise is not lost. just. part of our culture if someone gives me a cd but i don't know what it is or what i can do with it it's worthless to me. so passing on information about the scenes is equally important. one of the
1:38 am
goals of the network is to put these old varieties back on the menu. for one sebastiaan pedders is preparing a chocolate drink made of cocoa beans in a local fruit known as stock so for 4 years now his restaurant he too has served dishes made exclusively with natural ingredients including traditional fruits and for righties. working with c. varieties also means that you're promoting fair trade which proves people's lives and you're helping the environment too. and above all it gives you lots of freedom to conjure up a different menu every day based on what is currently available and what's in season. the seed guardians network wants to persuade farmers to adopt ecological methods and work with old seed varieties. they also
1:39 am
give workshops this one here is all about perma culture how the a career explains how best to maintain the soil so that it remains fertile and retains its natural balance of nutrients. the tomato is native to ecuador. potatoes come from the n.d.s. lintels come from asia right over here somewhere. every sort of seed has its own story which is very important to the seed guardians of the hundreds solano began growing kickout 12 years ago 1st he visited the farmers in the local area he discovered more than 30 different varieties of cocoa. every cocoa bean can be planted to grow a new tree but this one will be turned into a trunk that. you know. what i love most is the risk for rioting that we
1:40 am
have here. but i thought you can harvest throughout the entire year. if you have a monoculture you only have one harvest. but here there's a cow that you harvest when it's in plower one ripens only in summer the other is better in the wet season. many of the script how varieties were on the edge of extinction until his team began growing them again. by preserving old varieties they've also helped to preserve and renew the rain forest. a female a mile from the indigenous keech war community this type of farming is nothing new 22 different sea varieties have been sown in this field alone.

she loves the many different types of course. she lives at the question we have all the colors here white black red yellow purple all these corn varieties are there for us to nourish us.

ninety's when the new wild west of wind. we had so many people wanting to talk to us about their whim leases that they lined up all the way down the block trying to get into the door that's always good for orders but it transformed everything so the property tax base here was only $435000000.00 after the advent of all this wind it is now 3 b. . texas is now also a leader in renewable energies more than a quarter of us wind energy comes from the republican run state is plenty of wind and sunshine here and they took of transmission lines and little to no regulation. wind farms are popping up all over. but they're not an option for buddy nate here. he too has a ransom is sweet but it's more fun he makes his money with the small business he's

1:47 am
his estimation unreliable i think there is definitely. i think it's not good for us to be reasonable about the way that you go about it and condemning $11.00 energy industry in order to supplement another energy industry that is intermittent energy. i think is shortsighted. but others see the future in wind texas state technical college and sweet water trains turbine technicians there's no shortage of students the industry off is good pay travel and opportunities for advancement and jobs not far from home. a lot of the students that come through here are from oil families so they know what it's like to the way of having money and everybody working and then when oil drops you know people are laid off and they you know they lose the money whereas in when it's
