they had hoped for more security more freedom more dignity. out of their hopes for a full. 10 years after the arab spring. rebellion starts june 7th d.w. . the sell off continues taiwan's stock exchange plunged more than 8 percent before closing at around minus 4 percent amid virus restrictions and a wider selloff in global tech stocks we go to our correspondent in taipei for also coming up it looks like fish but has never spent a day in the sea a california startup hopes its lab grown salmon well will revolutionize the seafood industry. welcome to the business i want to get jobs and to have you with us

well the market volatility continues taiwan's stocks slum to the most since march last year as concern over further tightening of coronavirus link restrictions and a global tech selloff spooked investors the taiwan stock exchange weighted index finished of the session 4 point one percent and noah after slumping as much as 8.6 percent in morning trading the worst intra day loss in 50 years local investors have turned increasingly wary as health authorities continue to battle the widening coronavirus outbreak that's threatens taiwan status as one of the safest places in the world to ride out the pandemic. and for more let's cross over now to g.w. has some hans so in taipei good to see you. well some analysts say that basically everybody is just overreacting and that we will see a rebound soon what is your. all kinds of shares filmed

today regardless of their strength or weakness including semiconductor indicators like ts and c. and media tech this really worried investors so they criticized the government for not doing them asked needs reliant only on a 14 day quarantine period or for an entrance but now many analysts ask people not to panic because they believe that this doesn't price is easily affected by the news and the fundamentals of taiwan stocks are good so they believe that it will be a rebound if the government can control this wave of coffee 19 by the way that astra zeneca was seen well left to expire and now people are waiting in line to get this need to have well at least that is good news and it is quite amazing to see that taiwan which really was a big sort of a beacon also lights in the pandemic now seems to have more trouble again but we also hear reports about the national financial stabilization fund to hold an

extraordinary meeting in order to decide whether they have to intervene how big a deal is the stock market plunge through a masters it's a huge deal taiwan stocks once rose 217000 points the highest in history so many best years old and putting their savings in the stock market and now they are all tied up so the government officials now are trying to calm the investors by saying that taiwan's stocks fell today mainly by the crack of the drop in u.s. docks other countries such as south korea's stock market was also a fact that they believe that a moderate correction is the normal situation but reminded investors to pay attention to the risk and if there is a major disorder situation. will come to the rescue. plan so their reporting from taipei sink is so much.

well back here in europe there's some big news on which is why we go straight to our correspondent chelsea delaney in front of the jail so you've got the latest i do so just about an hour ago the news broke that amazon has actually won its appeal against an e.u. back taxes case they were essentially being told to pay about 250000000 euros to the e.u. in this was money that they the e.u. says they were owed because because amazon had been avoiding taxes in luxembourg where they set up their european headquarters. amazon had appealed this case and today the general court the 2nd highest court and the e.u. says that they agree with amazon and that they that amazon doesn't have to pay this 250000000 euros amazon who has of course emerged as really the poster child of. clever tax arrangements to avoid taxation and last year here in europe amazon

earned a record amount of money and paid no corporate taxes big internationals not paying taxes in europe of course has been an issue for quite some time so what implications are there for other big national international companies and their obligations to the e.u. . why thing for the e.u. specifically for antitrust regulators and here in the e.u. this is a major setback it's not just the amazon tax case that they've lost they also lost recently a $13000000000.00 euro tax case against apple for similar tax avoidance implications so i think what this does is that it's going to put more pressure on global leaders to come up with this idea of a global minimum tax we heard this proposal from the biden ministration and european leaders have gotten on board because there is a growing acknowledgment that these companies need to play fair and they need to

pay more taxes. in france and thank you so much for bring us up to date. staying in germany and the country has to cut down c o 2 emissions and it's also seeking to gain an edge in low carbon technologies and that includes speeding up the shift to basri politics costs but that's reproduction is currently still dominated by asian companies time for some common factors to take much us into their own homes the car manufacturer to slow will soon be building hundreds of thousands of electric cars here in new berlin and will also create a production facility for batteries according to company basilan musk it will be the largest in the world but it will face stiff competition in the battery production market german manufacturer of e.w. plans to build 6 petry so factories in europe in the next few years and is working on introducing a uniform battery technology. so far come in a factor is of being dependent on

a handful of still produce is based in asia led by the chinese group c a 2 yo which according to the forecast will hold 17 percent market share in 223 in 2nd place is kim from south korea with 13 percent followed by another chinese company. it was only on tuesday the japanese comic a nissen announced that it would pull the production of batteries for their electric cars together with its french partner renner the common factor is one to reduce their costs by using a standardized battery technology and everybody hopes to gain competitive advantage . and for more i'm joined by st hill directed technology and innovation at cap and gemini engineering in munich the tabulator us comic to start investing in battery technology does this mean that electron mobility is now finally starting to be taken seriously good morning monika absolutely it's fair to say that i think we

have seen newish to sales figures out for electrically calls in the past year and also in the quarter one of that year their electron billet is finally taking off both in europe and in other markets in the uk so having the better as did your hardest to be a call it is a very wise choice for our o.e.m.'s for many affect us to take them at their in their own hands now the pandemic has of course shown how vulnerable supply chains can be do you think that this is the only reason why i want to become independent from their base and plotinus well one hand the chip depend then make to chip prices they have shown us how fresh child global supply chains can be but it's much more than that being a bettery you know it's the single most expensive component of what we are called today and it will stay that for the next 2 years so it's a met the restrict teach you comport importance to mosque that part of the bell your chain and also to use it as a source of competitive advantage and as we have seen in the no dissent deal to buy

in on the scaling effects and economies of scale ok that sounds a larry well but you still need the necessary raw materials what about dependence on lithium or cobalt where will that come from. i think that's a very good questions if you just look at the prices for raw material made believe sim kobold manganese or nickel they all have to have skyrocketed so not only having good necessary contracts in place to secure a steady flow of stills from materials is just sensual but also another aspect is to ensure and this is vital for the o.e.m.'s to ensure it does materials come from ethically correct choices so much better grip on the whole supply chain from the raw materials to the china through duct is required sure delia not made the risk to run their own self the wrist or if they shorts them ok so there's still work to be done peter thynne to there from cape gemini engineering in munich thank you so much

. let's take a look at some of the other business stories making news shares in the chinese smartphone company a shower only have risen by as much as 6.7 percent as after reports it were to be removed from a u.s. blacklists show me was blacklisted at the end of last year by the u.s. department of defense. australia's flagship want us delays restarting its global flights by a further 2 months to enter the end of the simba the move comes as australia expects international travel to be low until mid 2022. and the white house is aging americans on the country's east coast not to hoard gas that as gas stations are running dry 5 days as a hacker attack shuts down the country's critical colonial pipeline. the food industry has been facing a major dilemma for years as the world's population is growing so is their hunger

for meat for vegetables for fish now the latter comes with its own problem taking too many fish out of the water is not sustainable alternatives are needed and one start of in san francisco is growing salmon in the lab it's efficient and tasty they say. over $2000000.00 tonnes of selman are harvested every year taken out of the ocean by fishing trawlers like this one here. is shipped in boxes to restaurants around the globe. as a favorite on the menu. but sushi chef. works with this looks like selman tastes like selman but it's way more sustainable. all the men leaving i would love to have a restaurant that's open in the future and for that to happen we believe like we have to look outside our normal fishing practices now. that's just selman

from wild type a california based company that grows it in the lab there's a lot of science and technology here but for wild type c.e.o. a lot of grown product simply fish the number one source of protein for our species it's also one of the most nutritious things that we can eat yet there are all these downsides right so it's like you see food but maybe not so much because might have a lot of mercury and you're going to buy at a micro plastics. lab grown selman has no subsequent timing ends and it has attracted a following among some francisco's chefs. the texture is so. big you know the firmness of the fish the color of the fish the strange share. the oil. and how it's just it's really great. and you can taste that and the product. while type that's that lab grown selman might one day

overtake ocean grown fish in restaurants everywhere. and the real salmon can live happily ever after well that's a business update here on d w for me in the team in berlin as always thanks for watching. the fight against the corona virus pandemic. has the rate of infection been developing what does the latest research say. information and context the coronavirus. today. how does a virus spread. through the town. any

information. any science topic you should check out our podcast. you can also find most. populated and known for. some places only accessible by. story. every 3rd alaskan is fully vaccinated nearly half of the population has received. good planning and working with indigenous leaders. came the 1st. in march to be able to receive.

kids from the age of 12 can now get their shots in alaska and right across the u.s. but it's alaska in particular one of the remote places on earth which is showing the rest of the world how to fight off a pandemic. final preparations for a flight near the arctic circle in alaska. has with her 50 shots of the vaccine she hopes they'll bring an end to the pandemic which is hit. hard. one person gets in here that's you know that's 5 percent of the population almost so that one household pretty much can cause for the whole village to shut down that means nobody hauling water nobody hauling fuel nobody you know you're not leaving your house to go get stuff that you need ok it's going to be strong tonight despite its remoteness

a lot scott has rolled out called in 1000 vaccines faster than any other state in the u.s. today the team of health care professionals will be visiting several indigenous communities in the arctic wilderness. village of in a thai has no mobile phone coverage no supermarket and no permanent doctor all goods have to be flown in. today's air freight is the call of in 1000 vaccine. the village of around $200.00 inhabitants has only 2 cards one of them is the ambulance. snowmobiles are the most important means of transport here a quick ride takes the team to the local health care center. inside around 20 villagers a waiting for the shot. if you. like most of the villagers lawrence roberts belongs to the beach and tribe for many years has relied on his

strong constitution but in times of a pandemic he wants to play it safe. this is pretty important i mean. if you were a little the. you would have to get sick or you know if it would prevent hospitalization just get. on his quad lawrence takes us to his home at the edge of a forest. for a year he wasn't allowed to leave the village. the tribal government imposed strict rules to protect the community from the virus. lauren says it's the modern way of life that makes people so vulnerable to cope in 1000. also contact all we're doing is just basically travelling with ballparks and that they're there and. move or something that's where we settle down for

a month. you know and try that this is what it is. it was much healthier lifestyle you know that i knew that experience never gets 2nd year on with you know it's it will. take going to the next village it may be one of the world's remotest places but when it comes to the banks in program alaska is leading the way. they have it is executive director of the association of immunization managers and joins us from the us what's behind alaska's success considering the huge geographical hindrances it's had to overcome. well alaska has a lot of experience getting vaccines out to their remote areas one thing they have done with coded 19 vaccine is they have really drawn their communities together and you know informed and educated about the vaccine they have gotten the vaccine out

to their remote villages they've actually gone toward a door in some of these villages getting people vaccinated and they've just done a really coordinated job of getting the vaccine to everyone that wants to get it how did the u.s. manage to go from $3000000.00 vaccinations administered in the whole month of december 2020 to over $3000000.00 per day just back in april. right well i mean a couple of important things one is that the production and the supply and you know this is not the sort of seduction the supply of production or kind of up and down in december we didn't have a real steady out of you know doxie doses coming off the manufacturing plant we have that now supply increased and really we're getting 2030000000 doses of the vaccine out per week to the states so that's made a huge difference and in addition to that the states have done

a large scale that's a nice insights as well as getting it to smaller sites community health centers and retail pharmacies so really getting more supply more steady supply and getting the vaccine out some more availability sites that's been the key at the same time though since the middle of april the number of daily vaccinations has been going down to more or less 2000000 per day why is that. so we have kind of picked up point where a lot of people who want to be vaccinated have then vaccinated you know 50 percent of people have gotten at least one dose just about and so you know we're really getting to the point now where we need to work harder to get people to assure people to get information to people and we're still there actually eating about 2000000 people per day so that's really good we have about 10 states that have vaccinated over 50 percent of their population but about 10 states for only about

35 percent of been vaccinated and that's really the difference by region of you know people with regard to their skepticism or you know they're cautious about getting the vaccine so what if they get it as of michael's possible what working hard i mean because you've mentioned in alaska going door to door which of course is risky in itself i thought about other states giving out free cannabis free beer . there they were giving out free beer in new jersey you know alaska's sleeves up 1st some are having block parties for vaccination getting ready for tourist season giving vaccine at the airport. you know i think states are just doing anything they can we see businesses giving incentives mostly to their employees krispy kreme is giving free donuts to people who get vaccinated you know

really just trying to get everyone involved everyone to feel good about getting the vaccine about getting us back to a place where you know we can have fun and be safe and protected from the disease what would you say this is something the rest of the world could could learn from. i mean i do think the rest of the world can learn from from what we've learned here in the united states 1st of all the large vaccine sites getting the vaccine out as as quickly as possible was really successful for us and the more people were seeing other people getting vaccinated the more they felt safe getting vaccinated themselves on and also information information is really the key the population right now that says they're hesitant or doesn't want to get vaccinated we see that many of them have not received any facts any information about the vaccine or have only seen negative information about the back seat so getting information out you

know getting all the information you can about how the vaccine works its value it c d its effectiveness doing that ahead of time makes a difference and then high volume logistically. out of there from the association of immunization managers thank you so much thanks thanks very much for having me. let me put you in the capable hands of my colleagues eric williams now to look at your questions on the corona virus. have been vaccinated and feel some side effects and i contagious to others. pretty much all of the vaccines approved so far and various parts of the world are fairly reactive genet which means they often cause mild side effects like pain and swelling at the injection side as well as things like like fatigue or headache or fever or chills or aching joints by and by some estimates about 2 thirds

of all recipients report those sorts of effects soon after having a shot they generally disappear within a day or 2 side effects appear to be more common in women than in men and also seem to happen more often in younger recipients then in the elderly but but side effects aren't caused by live virus replicating in your body because the vaccines in use don't actually contain any live virus instead they employ a number of different tricks to pull your immune system into believing you've caught the virus many vaccine platforms work by delivering genetic instructions into your cells that cause them to build sars kovi to proteins these harmless components teach your defenses to recognize the virus without really exposure to it

the available chinese vaccines accomplish the same goal by using chemically inactivated or or disabled virus to put the immune system on red alert but but because vaccines don't expose you to live virus they can't give you the disease her . you can't be contagious assuming of course that you didn't catch 1000 for real from someone in the days between vaccination and the ramp up of your immune response the sometimes unpleasant vaccine side effects experts say are actually a kind of confirmation that your immune system is reacting as it should. and we leave you with pictures from romania where dracula is taking a bite out of garbage 19 at his mythic home brand castle medics have set up
