american population the confidence to go out again. and on the other side, we have those multi $1000000000.08 programs and that it gives the american population the meeting to actually also spend money. so the economy overall seems to be kicking on most if not on all cylinders. triple is clearly picking up, restaurants are doing much better. so we also got numbers on cross domestic product . so the us economy. so those where we vice data for the 1st quarter, the u. s. economy grew by a very decent or solid 6.4 percent in the for the 1st quarter. so overall things definitely keep picking up as the home front. but the us lawmakers are also trying to tackle the economic challenge paid by china with new legislation. what can you tell us about that? yeah, there was actually a party dural vote and this vote ended. so what was it?

$68.00 to $30.00 a. yes, vote. so obviously there's some bipartisan support for the china competition bill or? well, it's officially called the us innovation and competition, as i mentioned, it's a profit, douro vote, so it's not finalized, but at least there is, there are some promising signs to get this $200000000000.00 package on the way. the biggest chunk of those $200000000000.00, by the way, being a good $50000000000.00 going to the semiconductor industry. so to bring a semi conductor, a production back to the united states. so all those supplies change. we talked about that quite a bit in the past couple of weeks and months. general motors, for example, just recently because there was a chart if it's a computer chip set to close down some factories on thursday by the way. and you know that they're going to reopen fives and factory. it's in the u. s. in canada and mexico and, and south korea. and that, by the way,

brought the stock of general motors, not by a good em 3 percent, but yeah, that's what this bill is basically meant for. so to bring production back to the united states to get a better position when it comes to the arch, rival china and filter new york. thanks. germany's governing coalition has agreed on a new law and is stopping human rights abuses across the global supply chains. companies that have to ensure that as flies, we're fighting by both labor and environmental rules. some industry groups to criticize the legislation, arguing it's impractical firms that can have thousands of suppliers scattered around the world. if passed by parliament, companies violating laws could face fines all be excluded from public contrast. starting from 2023 of his tell us more is our water chelsea delaney just explain just what this will actually mean for businesses or the goal of this is to stop the situation that we've seen over the past the past decades where companies something

able to say, you know, that's not our problem, we don't know what's going on in these supply chains. and these suppliers really far away. what this would basically require these companies to do is look at their supply change, which can really stretch the entire world and figure out who their suppliers are. and whether they're abiding by environmental rules by human rights rules. whether you're using child labor, whether they're paying workers fairly as or for a lot of companies, this will require really drastic changes. they'll have to put up and perform these new systems where they are checking the compliance with all of these new with all of these new procedures. other companies, especially the big multinational like time lar, adidas, sort of already have started to build up departments like this. fighting environmental ha and pieces of work, right. seem like a good thing. but nevertheless, this law has been controversial minds. it has been very controversial in part

because of how. busy difficult a task, this really is if you think of a large company, diamond, for example, they have $60000.00 suppliers and that would, and the idea of this law, they would have to check every one of those and make sure that they're not violating any of these rules as that there is an idea among some businesses that this is just impractical, but it's going to make german businesses less competitive internationally if they have all of a sudden these new bureaucratic cost. all of these new things they have to do that it will make them have to raise prices and things like this. the german government is saying that they're, they're trying to reduce some of the rock received. this will only apply firstly to companies with more than 3000 employees later will imply to apply to people with companies with 1000 employees or more. but it also says that this is going to be proportional, so companies will be responsible for their direct business for their 1st line suppliers. but after that they'll, they will have to respond to complaints. they've received further down in their

supply chain businesses is that this is linda, be feasible if it's applied globally. so we expecting other countries to get on board, particularly in europe. i think that is something we will see soon. france and another one's already have laws like this. and the e. u is coming forward with a proposal for a similar legislation. probably by the summer. it could go into effect maybe 2020 to 2023 as well. so there definitely is a lot of a lot more discussion over laws like this that we could see playing over on the world. chelsea delaney reporter. thanks to bring it. now let's take a look at some of the other business stories making headlines. airbus has laid out plans to ramp up jet production as the ation effective against the recovery from the panoramic company says the commercial airline and market could return to previous levels by 2023. as jazz jumped nearly 10 percent on brazil is an employment rate rose to

iran will provide china with cheap oil, but some iranians are skeptical. what they thought was, you know, we haven't been told the details of the deal. i don't think it will be good for the way everyone's talking about it. it sounds like the government has told us that the chinese that i'm out of them in, but i'm going to, i hope that we, the people get something out of the deals. otherwise, deals like this or no use to us. iranians are facing a number of challenges, unemployment and inflation. arising. the currency is down. more and more people are falling into poverty. and the new flagship stores are filled with chinese products that are too expensive for many iranians. the benefits of chinese investment have been of little help to cyrus, resolved his company. but that may change. he also hopes european firms will return to iran was a lot of our top business leaders and ingenious,

an artist, and social activist whose floors, gender fluidity and queer communities across africa. all the secrets with his ability to tap into his inner child is allowed eric karl to expand on faults and observations he had as a small boy and his colorful collages of spiders. butterflies or a certain very hungry caterpillar found their way onto the pages of some of the best selling children's books of old time. while eric karl died on sunday at 91. but he'll be remembered by generations of children and parents alike. ah, a child once called him a picture writer, a term the american author eric call thought was very fitting. in 1969, he created the very hungry caterpillar over all he wrote and illustrated more than 70 children's books. but none of his work touched as many hearts as the tale of

a caterpillar with an insatiable appetite horton part 2 books or children or anyone really is the idea were in a state id come from. the book was originally conceived as a week with really one, and one wonders if this book would have done quite as well without its catchy title . it has been translated into 66 languages. it's german titles roughly translates as the little caterpillar never full. eric call had his own theory of why the book was so successful. i think it is a children need home. you little caterpillar can grow up into a beautiful butterfly and fly into the world which are his signature style was to always use many bright colors and different textures. his

illustrations will continue to be an inspiration for generations to come me. a great memories of reading that book to both of my own children and joining me is adrian kennedy. thanks for joining me, adrian. it's amazing that eric karl actually published as we heard around 70 books . and yet this is really the one that has eclipse, all the other. the very hungry caterpillar this has sold 50000000 copies, been read billions of times the amazing story of the transformation into the future . for butterfly, as we heard initially, the idea was for a very family bookworm. the idea to substitute a caterpillar came from an editor called, instantly recognized that would be just perfect. it's a beautiful book. and perhaps the books that many parents, myself included, have read more than any of us on, on believable good memories of it. a day for eric, karl fans, obviously all over the world. and many people of course,

probably don't realize that he has driven room. that's why he was born in syracuse, new york in 1929, but when he was just 6, his german immigrant parents took him back to germany, a faithful move. eric went to school in nazi germany when world war 2 broke out. eric's father was drafted and captured by the russians. eric's father, who had inspired the office, love of nature on childhood, walks returned from the war, a broken man. this was war time experience that left the scars for the office. you know, obviously very formative years there, and he also studied in germany, which was also formative why he graduated from the academy of art and design. we can see him celebrating here with fellow student sheet initially been turned on to our by high school teacher who introduced him to the kind of not that was actually banned under the nazi co return to the us in 1950 to $823.00 with a nice work book and $40.00 in his pocket,

as he would like to say. also initially working in advertising, he turned to illustrating and then writing children stories was almost instantly a success with his trademark college style. amazing. such a fascinating story. i know his passing historic record for me, so i'm assuming the attributes have been pouring in obviously from people morning. his fellow illustrates is fans and celebrities like flee from the red hot chili peppers. he had this to say. he said, i love eric. co cannot count the time as my children and i would curled up completely enraptured by the glory of his books, a gift to humanity you love forever broken fruits of the other side. well, i can certainly say i can echoed those sentiments. i hardly can hardly say it's better. eric carl, obviously may he rest in peace and thanks very much for bringing us that incredibly interesting. back story on a world famous author, adrian kennedy. thank you. well,

in other news fans on the us hit television sitcom. friends have waited years for the long delayed and much hyped. friends reunion special. the one where they get back together sees jennifer aniston and co re unite that the original friend sat with a string of special guests unto the theories is still wildly popular. even among viewers, much too young to remember its original run, which ended of course wait back in 2004. tony pitts is a photographer, tv presenter, and a musician. but it's as an author that he's currently racking up the prizes. his 1st book entitled to f o, p, and one, germany's prestigious life facebook award for european understanding. and that book aims to normalize blackness here in europe and calls for europe to actually confront its colonial passed head on in the german city of life. take johnny pitts

photos now. phil this square, by the central train station the british photographer and author took them on a winter journey through europe in berlin, paris, stock home, lisbon, brussels, and moscow pits went searching for black europeans and how their identities shape the continent. that was one of the virtues of brian in this way. i didn't have any kind of theories. i wasn't, you know, searching for some kind of confirmation bias. i was just so open to explore. you know, what the stay of black life was in europe today. pitts titled his autobiographical report, taj, afro p n, a term he used to describe himself the child of a white english mother and an african american father. he lives in south london, or black and white residence, interact with more east than most places in europe, including germany. you don't hear much about even also from bismark called in the

burling conference for all the of the european powers to decide how they can call africa up and not to mention the, the colonies that germany had. and i think that's something to do probably with, with world war 2, you know, that is the dominant story narrative in germany. the big differences in issues at the black community a face and is in that kind of national myth making about about who the country is. the germans have largely forgotten their country's brutal colonial past. and africa . belgians are proud of their traditional chocolates, but don't speak much about how they were able to source so much cheap cow. in britain, children learn about the glories of the former empire, but not about its wealth from this slave trade. the man, there's how europe's white majorities see afro peons today. the view is often only 2 dimensional. blackness is always spoken of in the super let's if you know,

it's like either on the 100 people from the get. so who are thugs. on the other hand, you know, even within the black community, we talk about kings a lot of your kings, i'm not into royalty. oh, any kinds of royalty, you know. and so for me it was about looking at the human element that you could find within. blackness, not this notion of blackness is something positive subject to come from different social and economic backgrounds, some at the center of society, others on the margins. his book and his photos reveal. there are many ways to be black and european identities are always a patchwork. and it's also with a camera that the loving forgot tells their stories as stories of queer and non binary africans who faced not only ramp discrimination, hatred and violence,

but in many countries also anti gay loss. it's a small private photo shoot. let me quote gallery, home and compiler. today's work is part of the lobby's gender identity project acquainted photos, theories, documenting clear people across africa, smoke as a queer person, you know, in the country away. you know, like illegal to be yourself. they have to say the boys can do make up like flowers for boys, for gowers and like, you know, boys country addresses for me. my, well that doesn't apply because they feel like it should be a free while of like free expression. the 26 year old identifies as non binary clear. this means that love it doesn't identify as a man or a woman. and consequently wants to be referred to as the day of them rather than he or she yet. and you got the telling l g b t q stories and being part of the minority,

clear community as anything but easy. i had my 1st come conscious gated because you know, i was in someone's backyard to, you know, like shooting, you know, like mike, we are friends for the queen. don't predict some things like i'm afraid to get out of the house because on the streets i've been called the p g because i simply have a symptom and they can be, was the arrest, intimidation and mistreatment. and those changes and you got the community or the threats and insult have not pushed in lovey off their course the photographer, believe that every community where the queer, young old rich or poor to be able to tell it story in some. yeah. one of components to the slums. the love, the inspired next generation of photographers. they teach photography for the heart of dance african rhythm project. a local n g o which helps children hear no new skills and everything. the kids are bursting

with potential rate is 106 with about 12 with like, you know, 17 or whatever, like, everyone has the story because we all go through different, you know, circumstances back home to love. his daughter favors also try her hands of photography. the 7 year old documents the world around her taking queues and tips from her parents. the as a child neighborhood, surrounded by people of varying gemini. it's a world where it doesn't matter what us, whether she wants to play with gold, football, or cameras. they will often joins in during photo sessions and her lobby sees and empowered, upcoming generations of storytellers more accept them, more open mindedness and freedom to love. who wants an express oneself. that's what

they love you want and they hope the photography can inspire this one shot at a time to check out our website for more arts and culture. and with that all the best from us here in berlin and see you soon. i'll be dozing. ah ah, the news, it's been ongoing quest for the arab 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 hopes for 10 years after the arab spring. rebellion starts june 7th on d, w. i guess the the the the the scotland backed me since night in belgrade david marshall's penalty shoot. i really qualified scotlands men for their 1st major tournament in 23 years or some

of us was the best we felt since kevin galico scored against austria in $1997.00. the that schema was one of the goals that took scotland to front 98th. but why as a nation that used to expect to be a major tournament not being on the big stage for 23 long years. the from the seventy's, the ninety's, scotland qualified for 67 world cups. me from she was sick against the netherlands in 1978. the scots watched the heroes score unbelievable goals against brazil. plains new and unusual ways to snatch failure from the jaws of respectability

against brazil again at the opening game of 98 in france. it was wrought against rinaldo as scotland renewed his fears and in no way one sided rivalry after john cohen's equalize to make it 11. the holders couldn't find a winner so naturally gave them a helping hand with gold trick burley. school against norway on the 60, the 1998, was the last by scotland man. and a major tournament. since then, generation has gone by i must been living in berlin and old enough to remember at least some last. but not all my compadres in the city are held were you in scotland qualified law school like a major term and i was 5. i don't know if i can remember. if i convince myself i

can remember that, but i can remember john colin's school independently against brazil. i think the 1st ones i can came to remember is at play off then for the next 2 years. so i was calling with scott and things were going away with packing up a result and then they will not be in enough. shouldn't one man what was what was to come? failure to qualify for you know, 2000 and the 2002 world cup cost manager, craig, greg his job so begun scotland years of wandering in the football desert. ah, scotland decided to shake things up by bringing in their 1st ever foreign coach, german world cup winner, bertie forbes. there was like that and it was there was a law, it was more like maybe an experimental period for the national seem you know, sort experimentation look to paid off when mixed and scored the only goal of the

game against the dutch in the 1st leg of the year, 2004 play off with his fix. know the feet and amsterdam met the man, the cold, the carrier didn't get a snip of a major championship. i think that's when the confidence got really not sex, no game because it was 6. now after that could have been turned off that i really like just this little slowed the claim. books departure, rotating cost of hardy souls was charged with taking scotland by walter smith, decrease george barley creek, levin gordon, strike. and then the cliche, again, whole tries and fails, but was not going to them or a lack of quality players. great social changes with taking place, of course boys were not playing football as much as the gifted continuously naturally. secondly,

the introduction of foreign talent into scott from which was initiated by sin and was taken on by the other club. walter smith said the boys going into the academies wouldn't get enough. ex celtic in scotland, player jamie smith disagrees. i think it was a lack of good players. i think scott, on the can always produce close, like the problem was almost systematic. but what's called the right track, compete the treadmill clubs which accomplish scott and they were spending a lot of money cited back play. i was given them back salaries and quite honestly the, the good stick site and your players and everything got a chance in 2019 come on manager, steve clark became the latest man charged with bringing back that long for success the lead back air sherman had the rocky start, but he galvanized notoriously brittle group of players to take them to glory in

belgrade to i really rates the clock as a manager. i think what i'd recommend them was like on believable that they were all john smith. they were getting close to her watch and confessed, and then he takes over and ends up taking this commandment team with no stars at all and get some in europe. steve clark is basically from all i can see about a defense of madison structured manager. he was the same with komatt scott and i think a better differentially and then the not the final answer, but he's been able to organize a humiliating phone ill defeat in russia and late 2019 prints. the turning point for clark. he asked his players to carry their heart with them and a 1000000 much on beaten run, so they qualify for euro 2020. what has been the differences led us to qualify some

really talented group of talent not seen in scotland for a generation. there's the robertson, a champions league, winner with liverpool, manchester united power house, scott mc, terminate, arsenals, marauding left back here in tyranny and aston villa. go scoring that field or join me again. and if you've got clears, you can bring in a claim for liverpool and acid villa manchester, lately, withdrawal, meaning so on you know, you have good quality sample. i said, i think it's just that we do actually have the best group of players that we've had some name problems. i mean, if you looked at the manager's heart center law school, if i played with people, james bare and gotten stuck in as a monitor like probably not till 6. right. christy showed that the players cared about giving the country something to celebrate amid the corona virus. pandemic

audible year review. i hope everyone, that part of the socially distance partying begun wherever scots were in the world. and gloves go to berlin, where i've spent the past 9 years here. the chill of the cold war is never far away. in the mid communist statues, there's plenty of scottish to be found even if it's not always flattering. scotlands reputation for parsimony is reflected in the names of its this kind of the races. and it's in the street signs in the cities, english quarter, white glasgow street in english port. and it's also to be in the city scottish

exiles during the ton demik has been painting for the place they called caledonia with the think i don't know me. 100 park law school to scotlands. 3 great games are to be played at the national stadium. it means the talk to armies invasion of europe will have to wait at least a little while he always thought would make that really nice summer and france or nate or spade. it's just going to be quite weird. i think the separate, the fact overplayed a major national for he was game, but we're still in classical waiting. scotland that hadn't been taught or the check for public featuring labor crews and strike or patrick chicks and croatia

with real madrid play maker. look, i'm not rich, there's also a trip down the road to wembley to me hurry, england, scotland, the england. it's the world's oldest international fixture. this a little, the fact that we told the english to play the game. it might be hard to believe for people who have actually watch scotland, but we invented classic football. but can't scotland teach england another lesson in the euros? after all, you haven't beaten the so called old enemy sandstone. hutchison scored at wembley and 1999 english can be very good but they can be brought with this go to split it and being the underdogs were you into that game might be a benefit to us as we go into euros was again to check the public was against croatia, but be england's and get not the 1st thing i would probably take as quite successful

turn in the anglo gym. we can beat them to drink and we can beat them intimately. scotland have never gone beyond the group stage. the major tournaments defeats the costa rica in 1090 is just one entry in a catalog and disaster me the number 123. like i said, you can this increasingly confident, young squad, but the trend by reaching the last 16 so many thought placed in ideally, so for us to completely blog to be one to be one of those sub place teams. not going to look at what we should be. we should be good enough to think we've got the squad to surprise some people. what we've done now. we've got the potential for the 2 of those great games to be played at honda park. scotland will be backed by home

funds aking for a chance to see life football. after the pandemic. whether scotland do a scotland or do the unthinkable and qualify for the last 16, it's sure to be some atmosphere. whatever they do, these young players have shown that scotland can play the game and written their own chapter in the countries in shooting football, romance, living with the you know, in this it with me. in the news, the news news
