creeping governmental control, why should the state know like every time how often you go to union meeting, how often you go to sport clubs and different patterns of your life? but most days welcome the system as their passport back to liberty. at least one entropy genario bar has set up its own testing center to make the wait for that precious green light. more bearable with a beer beneath continues. are right here. business is up next. ah, the news? it's been ongoing quest for the spring began in 2011 people stood up against corrupt, rulers and dictatorship. all these moments have left the box

in my memory. they had hoped for more security, more freedom, more dignity, have their hosting for 10 years after the arabs spring. rebellion starts june 7th on d. w. the v o. p gets ready to turn on its massive renaissance damp. the 10 year old project on the blue nile could bring much needed electricity, the east african nation. what is that? the center of a dispute with egypt and then also on the show the pandemic and pushed government into justice spending all while boosting the profits of the big tech like amazon. so is it finally time for the digital tax? we'll talk to support and every minute count startups or racing to deliver fresh

food and cracked dominance. supermarket changed the globe. welcome to the show. in berlin, if you says it will generate electricity at the controversial renaissance dam on the blue nile, beginning in june, near the started the countries rainy season of the country urgently needs the energy to grow its economy. but there's still an ongoing dispute with neighboring countries on how the reservoir will be filled and how the power plant will be operated. the project is close to the border with dan, together with egypt. so then fears to make them could reduce downstream downstream water levels. the construction of the project began in 2011. it's 1.8 kilometers long, and 145 meters high. the view up in government says the project is now 80 percent complete. right, so dilemma editor in chief of artist standard magazine joins me for more on this sort of welcome to the show, this announcement that electricity generation is going to start taking place this

rainy season. is that a surprise? no, it's not. a surprise has always meant in this position that it will start generating energy to be faced by phase. so as the 2nd feeling, the reservoir is about to begin during the rainy season, the next races in which is july august. i was expecting that there was going to taste of rent, run a test on generating, and if you could be there, we are expected to retain about 13500000000 cubic meter. and the next rainy season. so together was the last one, the feeling that would be 18440000000 cubic meters. so you would like to begin to try out during this randy season. it's not a surprise that has always maintained that it will do so. how countries, how the neighboring countries have been a dispute with,

if you will be over this egypt and how they responded to these ongoing plans to continue to build out. well initially there was, of course, a lot of resistance from done and it just because they maintain that argument of 2029 and 15. 52 is should be respected by if it has always maintained its position. that, that colonial argument. none the boy because that was not a part of that. and so the share of the water sharing process has always been in that hurts authentic location. so they were resisting that and then go stations were stolen for the last 2 weeks, i would say. but in a surprise announcement yesterday that you should for me to say that the feeling of the 2nd round of the will not be significantly harmful for egypt. but this was

a very, very welcome news. and it shows that they are returning back to the basis. and that's going to open up the avenue for the negotiations to take live under the auspices of the african union. so maybe some good news there. briefly. it's that if you can, how important is this project to? ethiopia? it's very important for you to visit country where almost 65 percent of its population do not have access to electricity. and this project has been the hurt of its i'm vision in reaching out to its own population. don't forget that the 9 was 80 percent of the 9 emanates from him. so he kept it within its own natural right to definite this project. this is very important for number one for it's the interest, 50 generation. number 2, it's a project by if you're going for it and there has not been if you have made a lot of the 7 are that there will be

a significant car into the down down country. and if you wanted to remain within the agreement that was signed by the court, the declaring principal in 2015. so if you would always want to remain within this principal declaration of principal, so i'm afraid we're going to leave it. there's a dilemma editor in chief of august standard magazine. thank you very much. and we go over to the us where the recovery appears to be on. so where are the workers? well, that's the question being asked by businesses around the country. the finally some normalcy boardwalks of the jersey shore. people are dreaming of summer sun and wait. ah, the peers amusement park has opened the wildwood new jersey and it seems like the

rosy side of life is coming back again. but for the business owners, there still is one big problem that keeps them from going back to normal operations . the biggest obstacle we have right now is hiring. we are struggling like we have never struggled in our 50 year history. we cannot get enough people to fill our rosters and hiring has become the new pandemic. mores piers has 1500 job openings to fill. the amusement park is even offering $15.00 an hour more than the minimum wage with little success. i think that it's not so much a wage issue as just the supply and demand issue, and there's less people in the workforce. so even paying more, we're not seeing the numbers that we need to see. 8000000 job openings are available in the u. s, but they largely remain unfilled where there are many reasons for that. it seems

that the large cold relief payments are one reason why many low income workers believe they're better off with unemployment age than working a paid job. i don't if student workers from overseas are filling in here, but the amusement park owners say slow visa, processing and close borders are another obstacle. there's little delta v again with children and kids enjoying their right question is, will there be enough personnel to operate it? right over to so much bigger businesses, the world's 5 largest tech firms have benefited greatly from the pandemic, which has boosted demand for their digital services. google parent company, alphabet amazon, apple, facebook, microsoft among those raking in billions. but most countries are benefiting from those profits in the form of taxes. now the g 20, that is the countries that account for most of the world's wealth are losing an

estimated $32000000000.00 a year on unpaid taxes from those 5 largest tech firms. that's according to in geo action, 8. that money could, of course, help governments foot the bill for the debt they've taken on to deal with the pandemic economic economic fall out of more or less, i'm joined by under dall back. he's a program manager for global tax policy, action aid, unders good to have you on the show. this issue did not begin with the pandemic, but it seems to have thrown it into really sharp relief. is that true? yeah, definitely. i mean, there has been a long standing problem with how to tax companies operating in that it's that economy. we have an international tax system that just wasn't designed for the kind of companies that we have these days. but the fact that we now have countries needing tax revenue more than ever, of course, in g 20 countries, but primarily so i would say in developing countries as really yeah, underlined the need to properly find a solution out to tax companies operating the did sort of call them and make sure

that they pay their fair share of taxes to help fund the health care response, but also the recovery from the covert crisis. what kind of constructive proposals have we seen so far? i mean, one of the things that has been discussed very much this here is the idea of a global minimum corporate tax rate, which is a very welcome debate. and that i know that the u. s. administration has stood behind, for example. the question of course is at what rate that is going to be set and we would very much welcome a rate above 25 percent. but we also have to acknowledge that a global minimum corporate tax rate can increase the amount of revenue that is collected. but it doesn't really change which countries collect that revenue. as we're looking for international tax reforms that actually change how and where profits are taxed so that they are taxed more in the countries where economic activity actually takes place rather than just in the jurisdictions where companies are headquartered. briefly, if you can,

what happens when individual countries like france enact their own legislation without working with other countries? for example, is that help or is that harmful? i mean, in the long term, we are going to need a multilateral solution that works for everyone. multilateralism is always better and tax issues to improve certainty both for companies and tax authorities, but in the absence of a satisfactory global deal, which we're not expecting in the short term. it is understandable if countries one to take unilateral measures to tax the did so economy better. and in fact, it might be a good way of racing extra tax revenue in the short run to meet the needs of the covered crisis in the absence of a satisfactory global deal. all right, let's leave it there under dall back with action a. thank you very much. thank you. all right, let's take a look at some of the other business stories making headlines. you go to reports, the coffee exports in april jumped 49 percent from the same period last year.

that's attributed mainly to productive shrubs and a spell of good weather reports that ex borders released more of their stock to take advantage of rising global coffee prices only as i'm evaluation about $10000000000.00 and it's upcoming wall street listing the sweetest company which is backed by chinese, investors produces old phased alternatives to dairy products like milk yogurt ice cream. it's taken off recently, boosted by the rise of beacon and vegetarian diets. and staying with the food industry. as the pandemic sped up a transformation of its retail side, where new army of grocery delivery businesses have benefited from the past year to disrupt the traditional supermarket, backed by billions of dollars a venture capital, their rival could crack the domination of big chains. it's a race against time from this south london depot pickers, packages and delivery stuff have 15 minutes to get fresh food to the door of a nearby customer who's ordered via the we the app wheezy like it's london,

rivals get here. deja and gorillas. stocks, goods from major suppliers and local producers in so called dark stores in town to supply customers at similar prices to convenient stores. at least for new rapid services operate in central london alone. and the trend has taken root in cities across europe. the big challenge that facing is around profitability. and i think in order for this model to be viable, they need to scale. and there are a lot of horses in this race at the moment. so i think when we look to the future, we're certainly going to see some consolidation. and these rapid delivery providers might even be a good acquisition target for some of the big markets. of course, the pandemic has helped enormously the arrival of the services market demand for convenience. and we'll drive for the next transformation in food retail. but they are likely to replace the weekly food shop because speed comes with

a trade off. in order to be so quick, these rapid delivery companies have to offer a vastly reduced product selection, one or 2000 items, compared to around 50000 on the shelves of a traditional supermarket. but for shoppers with a need for speed, anything longer than 15 minutes may seem to slow. alright, that's for me and the dw business team here, berlin to check us out online. g, w dot com slash business. i'm seeing basically ah, how many pushes out in the world climate change the stores. this is more or less the way from just one week. how much less can we get? we still have time to go. i'm doing all this thing. can you hear me now?

yes, we can hear you and germans bring you on going to mac or never. right, just so what is what it was to his medical really what move back to people who follows along the way, myers and critic to join us for mattel. last on the i visited up the news aisha coming up today in the us digital divide. it's, it's gilbert 19 the vaccination drive. lot numbers of indians conferences for jobs because they like internet access and can't speak english. india vaccine registration system exclusionary officers, plus germany offer to recycle of god interpreters works, but it's been a treat. many of price talks about taliban after western coast withdraw.

yes.
