after years of talks, germany says it's now ready to apologize and offer financial support to they're just sitting there watching the news from berlin coming up next, we've got business with chris kolber. of course, you can always get all the latest news information on our website. that's w dot com. i'm terry mars. thanks for watching the news . 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 less deep box in my memory. they had

hoped for more security, more freedom, more dignity, have their hopes for 10 years after the arabs spring. rebellion starts june 7th on d. w. the holding corporation is accountable for abuse. learners by their suppliers, germany governing coalition agreed on the new supply chain. law companies will have to make sure that product goes the source without harming the environment for workers, right? other coming up, protected your van before the would be retiree. keep working as there are not enough young people to do the dobs and restaurants and bars and germany welcome guests. again, at least out of doors, it was a cautious sign. the worth maybe over the course kobuck

program. germany is governing coalition has agreed on a new law aimed at stopping human rights abuses across global supply chains. companies what happens sure that their suppliers were abiding by both labor and environmental rules industry. some industry groups have criticize the legislation, arguing it's impractical firms that can have thousands of suppliers scattered around the world is passed by parliament companies violating news for face fines will be excluded from public contracts starting in 2023. that's good. the view of miriam is aga mos on this is with the european center for constitutional and human rights. a group that has been lobbying for this legislation. welcome to d. w. companies are obliged to address grievances in their supply chain should they be detected, but there is limited or no liability on their part for these problems. looks like

leverage last year, don't you think? yeah, well i mean, and 1st of all, this step that the law has been formulated by the german government and is now being discussed in person is long overdue. and it's very important that governments do take the responsibility to legislate human rights due diligence obligations off companies in germany. so that's good. at the moment, yes, the law is too limited in its scope is too limited, as, especially as the suppliers of the 1st t and you need to be overseen. and yes, it does leg civil liability, which is a big problem which can directly be detected towards the lobbying efforts of industry associations, which unfortunately the conservative party, the city has picked up, may say it's long overdue that companies are being held accountable here. and there

are those that are saying germany is taking the easy way out, putting the obligation to monitor and address these processes on the companies, rather than confronting the countries that lead, allow child labor and other views to happen on their territory. well, i think that is a very cheap excuse because of no one is saying that the government, which allow abuse is happening within the territory have no responsibility. at the same time, we cannot close to the fact that european and especially germany just companies have been contributing and profiting from exactly those exploited situations over the last decades. and they have never done anything to improve this. and i would even say in some instant, or quite regularly, i think they would, they have contributed to exacerbate situations there's and they are, they, you,

albert. so there's one other defining factor and that is the consumer and just do consumers decision. and there are plenty of other companies out there offering shirts and jeans that get produced under questionable circumstances which end up costing less. what do you make of that issue? well, the pricing issue is it's not true that clothes is produced and the good current circumstances are much more expensive than those come to produce in the bad circumstances or was saying if you pay a higher price, you can be sure that circumstances of production have been good, that is simply not true. it doesn't work, pricing doesn't work this way unfortunately. and then there are the most recent opinion pauls with in the german society and their people say they do want a law because you cannot, could burn it only on consumers making individuals choices every time you go to shop. and maybe there's some, you know, there's some labels that you can trust,

but there's so many consumer goods on which you cannot at all relax, you know, you cannot even make an ethical decision on. so this is why we need legislation that obliges companies to ensure that their production process has its child labor, fried free is abuse free because i'm out of the european center for constitutional and human rights. thank you for your thoughts. thank you. now a majority of japanese appear willing to work beyond their retirement age where their recent survey showing 64 percent of respondents wanting to do so. the main reason is financial concerns, but there's also plenty of opportunity to remain in the workforce or re enter it because japan's rapidly aging population and declining birthright mean that there are enough young people to do the jobs. japan's population is aging, so the country is putting its retirees back to work. so yaki jamita used to be

mr. jamita, the former sushi chef also graduated from the silver generation human resources center. so that was 10 years ago. now, another work day is drawing to a close mister m at a could have borrowed 2 from the job agency, but insisted on having his own. just as he did as a sushi chef, no one's immune to nostalgia. a yearning for the old days more he plans to keep pruning for another 10 years when he'll be a t. it's certainly a job with a future. japan may be aging, but the trees continue to grow o deviation sector air bus has laid out plans to ramp up a passenger jump production therapy. playmaker says the commercial airline market could return to previous levels as early as 2023. it's another sign, the heart of the asian sector has begun to recover from the pandemic.

bus as well, who also of course, experienced a huge slow down in production. they need guidance from their central customer. now, more than ever, become not ever stop making the reader maybe a preview, super jumbo. what is the company focusing on now? well, it's very much focusing on smaller and medium hall at planes. you know, the other large airplane, it's building the a 350 is also not doing too well at the moment of this long haul model. ab bus is producing only around about 5 planes per month. this compares with around about 40 planes per month of the a $320.00 airplane, which is you know, plan that you use for short and medium hall flights. when our business, franco, thank you. people and germany are i into
