saying that they think it's outrageous to understand that lives on european citizens might have been at risk. so that's why they are calling on the international civil of the ation organization to investigate this incident. and this organization has already signaled that bill or ruth might have violated the core treaty governing global obligation. the chicago convention leaders also agreed on widening the list of bell arisen individuals. they are already sanctioning. what is the block trying to achieve by that? while they agreed to impose targeted sanctions against individuals, but also against companies and business people that are accused of financing, alexander lucas shane cost regime. so you leaders are hoping that those sanctions are going to buy eventually,

partly as age. it was the commission last june, after 43 years. it pains my heart to know the power station isn't generating anymore, but it's all gone quiet avenue. yet other nuclear power stations will remain on line much longer than planned. in february, the french nuclear safety authority as an extended plant life spends from 40 to 50 years in the facetime region. a lot of jobs have been lost on the says nuclear power is the future of energy. the mayor is part of a cross policy initiative, lobbying for an expansion of nuclear power in france. he says, it's not just a matter of economics. new gala nuclear power, carbon footprint is one of the best a similar to wind power. but unlike when all was available, coming power helps the fight against global warming. committee. france remains

economy during the 1st quarter compared with the last quarter of last year. that's even a bit worse than the preliminary figures that the statistics office had come out with before in terms of the narrative behind these numbers. i think the most striking aspect is how much our g, d, p and germany. all the comic performance at the beginning of this year has depended on the slow start of the vaccination program here in germany. at how much germany's problems to get the vaccination program have really had a put a break on our economy. if we didn't have the manufacturers, the strong performance of our exporters, the situation, you know, the contraction the recession of our economy would have been even worse. come at so the economy in germany is struggling to kick into gear here. yet. if we look at the stock market, the dax is not far away from fresh record highs. why is that? it's pretty simple. investors believe that with this slow start of economy,

i think at beginning of this year, the recovery will be even stronger. as soon as the vaccination program is on the way, which is actually happening right now, germany, that's not forget, the german manufacturers are working at full capacity. they even have problems delivering to the high demand because of supply problems. it's the services sector, it's restaurants, it's retailers, it's wholesale businesses which are lagging behind. but for them of course, it's only a matter of time that they can fully reopen. now that more and more people in germany finally getting there 1st and also 2nd jab against called it briefly, a widely regard as sentiment index in germany. the for business climate is to be published later today. what's expectations among investors? most economists predict that an increase of the e, f o business climate index. and of course,
