making military law more efficient, the deadly decisions those algorithms survive. interest anerio. absolutely not. future wars starts to tense. all w me in times past people was gathered around aspire to tell each other story. in recent decades, that home entertainment has been replaced by a tv set. but now we're on the brink of a whole new media universe. ah, welcome to tomorrow. today you'll find show d w. the traditional or

linear television has a fixed schedule of film series and document trace. but in the new media world, you can watch what you like when you like at any time of the day. world right. the number of subscribers to video on demand services is steadily increasing from 170000000 in 2015 to projected 1000000 plants by 2025 and the number of paid subscription to the big streaming services is also rising. another sign that spells the end of traditional tv. we want you to know how you watch movies, tv series, and shows like tomorrow today, maybe online or in traditional star in front of the tv, or maybe in some different way. tyronica put 3 rice. i prefer to watch tomorrow today on tv, because then other members of my family can,

along with be watching shows together is quality time with the whole family like it. even though it's not posted. i live in new mexico and like to watch both free to view and pay tv, just my streaming subscription. the sorry, how you doing ts, right? i watch magazines like tomorrow to day on tv, but the films on tv are usually outdated. have lots of commercials and are often repeat now that the internet is available. i prefer to download phones and worse than when i have time. and now, so in colorado, it doesn't was free all pay tv at all. he only watches online streaming. so what your media research has had to say once upon a time, there wasn't much to watch on tv. you really had to put your mind to it. if you wanted to indulge in mindless channel surfing today,

things couldn't be more different. the age of video on demand and binge watching and what is it doing to us? media researcher marco's kalina, is extremely critical of the trend toward digital binge watching. he's written a book about it called stream land alter the, the on demand video. i believe that netflix, amazon prime, disney, apple tv and the like threaten our democracy when mooney caught this permanent shopping us about maturity and self determination. yet we went in the smart trap in filter bubbles. keep us from experiencing anything alien to us. but it's all about me, my taste, what i like supposedly mind, not long ago, what we chose to have glaring from the one screen in the middle of our living rooms

was a matter for negotiation among family members. these days, linear tv is getting less and less viewing time. the 85 percent of young people in germany have access to a streaming service, endless series countless seasons, and after the cliff hanger, straight to the next episode. not a 2nd to wonder what may happen next. bill is in that may need as a call when we watch and we are watched by anonymous algorithms on the basis of our viewing behavior were categorized as a particular type of netflix persona. recommendations are then made to us on the homepage. we're only shown what's currently popular or the stuff that they want to become popular. it's all about sex, it'll danger and fear on. it's about the end of a world about crime. i mean, i'm familiar topics that go down well with the majority of netflix viewers. and so netflix is changed. populism is creating

a new digital popular culture. roy doing digital plus good would have been netflix has taken the monitoring a viewing habits to a new level. it's their recipe for success. but will it really replace our former viewing habits gown? helen bagger, media researcher from my book says the trend isn't as worrying as my thank and i sounds in there's a title of television where it doesn't matter at all and you wanted to site one on task. another streaming services have built their business model around. on the other hand, i think there was always and still is a certain type of television that simply calls out to you. i want to see now not next week, not at any other time. those include formats like live sports, broadcast classes and form. and we live watching a football game from last week. nobody does that last kind. this

saturday night movie is also likely to stick around for a while. there's just something cosy and old school about it. and t v series that aim to solve real life crimes will only draw viewers when there's still a chance of catching the suspects. in germany watching the tv detective series ta taught on a sunday night is still a ritual. the show still attract millions of viewers. i guess have aud can my interest in the board is still hard to know. you know, this is perience through clever cross media coupling. in this case, twitter or twitter makes it possible to make this. we show, we could actually be watch it anytime. as anyone demand job to television event through twitter, it's an event tied to reviewing time. in the past, prime time viewing was planned ahead. netflix users no longer have to think about

when a show was on. but this automated personalization of programming could have negative side effects. fiddle have to meet with friend types of education has to do with the familiar with material i wouldn't usually see. and even with topics i wouldn't deal with that, i'm an education begins and when i step away from myself and open myself up to something like, doesn't just reinforce my worldview, that netflix does just with every 2nd commit. dreaming wants to affirm my sense of self. my taste, world view references locks me into my very own viewing. present me skipping this the things i pleasure driven consumers who wither away and their feel become less able to comprehend the world's complexity. the one frowned upon indiscriminate. t. v. junkies suddenly appear almost like last

heroes. out on an audio visual stroll, they let themselves be captivated and make discoveries outside their usual areas of interest. helen, daggers, conclusion. this type of home entertainment is far from over. this and other sounding feet, as we all know that television is the classic sit back and zone out medium. the medium where sometimes you don't even want to think about what i like to watch tonight. netflix has begun to take this on board and the streaming provider has begun offering linear programming and friends on a trial basis. for those who find it tedious to flip through the whole net which catalogs in the network can look into coping. ah. so announcing the death of television, maybe premature streaming is likely to replace linear tv or even cinema. it's just

a different way of consuming media. a new facet of an existing landscape who's from the media jungles to the labyrinth of life beneath the 3. busy different forests found mainly in northern europe, siberia and north america. se makeup around one 3rd of the woodlands. then there are rain, sorry. these are the forests and tropical and sub tropical areas on either side of the place in which both the world's greatest diversity of plant and animal species, deciduous or broadly mixed forest are found primarily in europe, eastern asia and north america. and it's in one such forest, but scientists have been stopping on the secrets of the wood wide web.

the since ancient times, the forest has been a place of magic and story. i often feared by many of our ancestors. today we no longer see our shrinking woodlands as enchanted, but still we only understand a fraction of what goes on there. one thing assure their home to a vast array of helpers that are working hard to ensure the tree survived. in the fencing nature, park and switzerland, mckenna, painter and her team are on the trailer fund guy which thrive in force. soil in play, a very special roles win on here and also on vision. if you remove a little layer forest floor, you can see these tiny white threads everywhere. i say they're fungal threads, hold hi fi. so going on, and the ones that are visible to the human eye or the white one,

the vice the thing. but there are much minor threads to piece together they form an entire cluster in the forest floors full of fun guy, high feet full, full from 4 pills in their reach is truly incredible. filaments of a single fungus can spread over 100 square meters. one species alone can proliferate across the forest floor, and there are 1000 different species and total the phone guy network under one heck, terre forest soil weighed about 6 tons, with a total length of a mind blowing 100000000 kilometers. 1000 meters, a fungal hi fi light below just one square centimeter of forest flor ah, with a fungal filaments meet the delicate tree roots. this is where the magic happens. the fungal filaments enveloped the roots. some even penetrate them. fungus

entree connect in the field from the clamps again, i'm home to fungus, and the plant trade with one another. hashed off the fungus gets nutrients like nitrogen and phosphate from the soil, which it gives to the plant t. and in return, the fungus gets sugars from the plant, which the plant can produce with photo synthesis. this is called a mike, arises symbiosis. they mutually benefit from one another and couldn't survive without each other on the me sleep. and the fun guy and tree roots together form a vast network in the forest, which some have dubbed the wood wide web. there have long been indications that phone guy and trees can exchange nutrients through this network in the tree. you can also show new trends among themselves. it's a romantic notion, a kind of harmonious woodland, co existence. a tree in the say for example,

might benefit from the sugars of a fellow tree in funnier spots for hungry young saplings, but doesn't really work like that. it's such a neighborliness essential for the forest survival that's what martina paid to and her team want to find out in an experiment that's unusual and rather ingenious, they're planting seedlings in the shade of the forest. around some of the seedlings they place a membrane and the soil that's permeable to fungi around the others and impermeable membranes. ah, they then administer traceable carbon dioxide to a nearby adult tree. to do this, the researchers wrap the trees crown with the plastic tarp and pump that c o 2 inside the 3 uses photo synthesis to make sugar from it, which is also marked and can be tracked by the researchers. ah,

ah, sure enough, the lab results show that sugars from the adult re travel to the seedlings and the fungus permeable membranes. but the roots of the seedlings didn't transport the sugars further, womanhood and these are to come up. we found is that the sugar stay in the room in the micro rise will fund guy and a tiny amount in the very fine roots of the sampling. in a few cases, we also found the shivers, a deeper in the root of the plant spare. during the plant sale, we've got kind of, we found none at all in the needles of a. so if there is a sugar transfer here, it's only in tiny amounts, most of the sugars stay in the fungus and pete's. and what about the adult trees near the one that was pumped with c o 2? the researchers also found sugars with the specially marked carbon on those trees

routes. but here again, the trees didn't absorb it. ah. so it seems that the transport of sugars from tree to tree by a fungal networks does not play a significant ecological role. nevertheless, a tree releases about a 1000 different substances into the soil. they could all play a role in the forest ecosystem and the coexistence of micro organisms. some guy in plants, ah, it's thought that trees probably communicate with each other with some of those substances. but little is known about how and when they might do this and what role the process might play in the forest ecosystem. mickery saw people to me, we already know quite a lot about the interaction between micro rise or phone guy and plant that off. we understand quite a lot about this exchanging but the interactions that take place from one tree to

another, via fund guy. the research on this topic has only just begun stating on them on from the for sure. perhaps the forest can best be understood as a kind of super organism in which many factors are play. what really goes on in the wood wide web is still largely a mystery. a mystery that martina peter and her team hope to unravel. but for now, it's safe to say to the forest continues to keep many of the secrets to itself. ah, by the way, not fear fun guy fossils discovered in the democratic republic of congo was found to be 250000000 years older than the previous record hold on. scientists keep making sensational discoveries of other fossil status, such as woody mamma's and of course, sign the fools that did all the animals from that primeval era,

actually die out. doc burgers from columbia had a question about that. are animal species present today that survived the age of the dinosaurs? some 66000000 years ago, a 14 kilometer wide asteroid slammed into the earth, triggering a mass extinction. within seconds, the space rank vaporized across the earth. fires raged, and volcanoes erupt. it within a few days, the earth was blanketed in darkness. the deadly ice age that followed lasted for years. acid rain transformed the ocean's vegetation died. 3 quarters of all species were wiped out. today's reptiles may resemble many dinosaurs, but in most cases they have little in common with their forebears. unlike

crocodiles, a prehistoric relative of the crocodile emerged 250000000 years ago. and crocodiles are ultimate survivors. they eat almost anything and can go for long periods without food. turtles are also one of the oldest living reptile group. the earliest known turtles swam the world's oceans 225000000 years ago and looked remarkably similar to those solitary ancient creatures that exist today. sting rays have roamed the oceans for even longer. these primordial creatures belong to the cartilage and fish family. as do sharks, they were already among the top creditors of the oceans in the age of the dinosaurs, the catastrophic consequences of the asteroid had little impact on shark biodiversity. horseshoe cramps haven't changed much in 150000000 years. that's because these living fossils can survive and water of

varying salt in this and warmth. birds evolved from a group of dinosaurs, survived thanks to their feathers, chickens and ostriches, are the closest living relatives of to run us. honors racks, sounds improbable. just compare how they walk if that is read why you had a question you'd like us to send it in as a video, touch voice. if we feature it on the show, you'll get a little surprise from us as a thank you. come on to the the you can find more fascinating stories from the world of science on our website and on twitter the i but now it's time to take the plans. in the mid 900

century research, i still believe that the deep sea was the rest of life. today, we know that the watery deaths of teeming with an amazing diversity of species. and so off we've only explored 5 percent of the deep sea. but it's not just the oceans settle home to fascinating. a classic creatures like constant forms of border between germany, austria, and switzerland. and this underwater world is populated with some very interesting residence. the temperature is around freezing, but that isn't going to stop all. but thompson and tino detroit from taking a dip in the water. isn't it too cold? good. now you know it's grade. it's warmer in the water than out of it. what are you wearing to stop the freezing old site? on the, on the screen is she on the rochelle? i'm wearing thermal underwear and fleece the under suit over at the theater. then.

then i've got on events jacket to keep my upper body and kidneys warm, play tight tom open car put on to the new dentist and then a dry suit to which is waterproof oss at the feet pocketing. so only our faces are going to get wet for over a year, the 2 divers have been monitoring aquatic life in the depths of lake constance. there are not scientists, but photographers fascinated by what goes on in this murky underwater world movement. i could be, we want to show that the lake isn't as dark and dormant as people think this minute teeming with light. and you just have to take a closer look. the most of our aim is to capture these images and bring them to the light of day yona soap, replacing the name. the aim of today's expedition is to track down some tiny crustaceans known as mice is shrimp, also known as a possum, shrimp boil or stay low.

in winter, the water is clear enough to see the aquatic life still active at this time of year . the 2 divers have gone on over a 1000 expeditions to the depths of lake constance together in all seasons. today they come across a catfish, one of the lakes, largest native predators. they also encounter an eel, also need of to these waters. but they also come across a number of invasive species like this north american spiny chee crayfish, which is devouring local aquatic life. and zebra mussels, which have only existed in lake constance since the $900.00 sixty's since then,

their population has exploded. finally, the divers find what they're looking for. mice is shrimp, native species now feed on these crustaceans, which arrived in lake constance some 20 years ago. the invasive species also fascinate biologists. unit s o shred, seen on the left, has been researching the bio diversity of fresh water rivers and lakes in switzerland for 25 years. today, he and his colleagues are collecting samples from the royce river. this, here is another intruder. the scientist as identifying more and more invasive species here in switzerland and in more lakes and rivers. does this, they go, this is a killer shrimp. it wasn't here 10 years ago. but now it's an almost every sample it in and also in like conduct on board. and it's been there a bit longer and it spread extensive laces. just like the quag muscle,

it was 1st discovered in lake constance 5 years ago since then it spread along the shores of the lake and also on its bed with significant consequences for the lakes ecosystem. to ask that, you know, at 1st we thought it wouldn't make much of an impact. just one species of muscle would replace and others be but it wouldn't change the ecological balance. but it's turned out that this species can live in far deeper water. it has completely alter the lake bed. the board on campus is keep no native muscle lives in that exact minish. it's not replacing anything to sort of thing, but it's completely transforming the habitat. turning a sandy bed into a hard substrate when might be endangered. as a result, we don't know yet apply them for nissan. but this development clearly poses a threat, a growing threat, because once new species settled, they generally start to spread up and eventually as many of the species

now in lakes and switzerland were 1st found in like constantly the killer shrimp and muscle land. if they traveled here along the line and then spread across the country, what happened in like constance is a blueprint for what could happen and certainly, and elsewhere, and seen off as the encounter. the entire ecosystem of late constance is changing. the 2 photographers have also seen it with their own eyes. auto body, all had carl, if lay a few years ago, the floor of the lake was bare. the box now was covered with a dense layer of muscle. in paula a seas. visually, it's very attractive us. we found my the shrimp and tiny creatures between the muscles. still a visa through shifted but what's going to happen next? vehicle today aquatic life in lake constance includes many invasive

species or that hans and has published a book recording these encounters in waters close to home. and i think that's all for today. thanks for watching. we'll be back next week with another edition of tomorrow. until then, by, by the the news

from the the the ah, the power of the i come from i never saw the where have enough in brazil the sun was always the man just the word for sun met. when i moved today, when he has a 10 year old, i watch the curriculum on tv that would stay how i see the world because i fit in now, but the side of a i was a tiny instead of the boys,

extra guy seemed absolutely incredible. i realized how language shape, thinking, how business, and i'm not only mental images are whole percent of the world insights my life and was one of the reasons i became a journalist. i mystery keller, and i use my words to help with impact cultural understandings. my name is l'aquila and i work and i need a favor. mm mm mm i

why i so i i just have this hi. oh my i, i just need to know what i did. what i need my me in

the me. ah use this is details you use lie from berlin, a chance for some answers as judges here the evidence against for man, accused of shooting down malaysia, airlines flight and age 177 years after the tragedies, families are waiting to hear harrowing testimony. i was trying to enter a new face also coming up with the far right alternative for germany failed to win a key state election victory for angle american conservatives in the last big test

before national elections in september. ah, i'm paula fully as welcome to the program. churches in the netherlands have begun to hear evidence against forman suspected of being behind the downing of malaysia airlines flight and age 17 over eastern ukraine. the trial is being held near amsterdam, steeple airport, from where m h. 17 took off on its final flight. the suspects 3 russians on the ukrainian are still at large, meaning they're being tried in censure all 298 people on board and age. 17 died when the plane was shot down nearly 7 years ago. families of the victims are bracing themselves to hear painful details in court. a tree for each of the people who never returned the

memorial site. next his repo airport has 298 trees. in total, 3 of them are dedicated to pete flukes, family. he lost his brother, his sister in law, and their son on board flight mh 17. they left 2 daughters who did go with him and only those 2 young daughters at the time. and so yeah, i had to tell the daughters that their father and mother and brother died. and i had to tell my parents who were in the hospital at the time that it was very shocking. yeah. pete ploot chairs a foundation bringing together thousands of next of kin. he says the image, 17 disaster header, real impact on all of dirt, society where the, the bodies were repetitive. the whole dutch nation was, was,

was what she did on television, just terrible. but this was also very, very beautiful. that there was so much compression among the dutch people, slight mh 17 took off here at people airport and never reached the spinal destination in malaysia. no after years of investigations, a court here in the middle and is determined to find out what exactly happened on that fateful day in 2014 and also who is responsible at the center of this inquiry or the remnants of the bowing. triple 7 here being viewed by the court. a massive jigsaw puzzle that was piece back together in a dutch military base. the crash site 7 years ago, or 298 on board, the plane were killed when it was blown out of the sky over a war zone and eastern ukraine. evidence points to a book, anti aircraft system,

which was moved from russia into rebel territory controlled by pro russian separatists. these 4 men will stand trial. they remain at large, allegedly protected by russia. those were presenting the victims family, say this doesn't make the case any less important. war has alarm also in time, can take 5 can take 10 years, maybe 50 years. and mr. put in and his regime will not always be in power. so maybe if there's a shift in government and if there will be a shift policy. also there will be a shifting policy in this file so they will have no rest. the suspects, i'm sure of that. peter took, on the other hand, says he doesn't care that much whether the suspects go to jail. he just wants the truth to be spoken. i think it's important that we know what the role of the russia if they had the role,

what role of the russia federation was not only will push the button, but also who was in the end, responsible for all for all. what happened? so this can take years and even 7 years after mh 17 crashed, he's determined to see this through until the aunt were joined by by cristo grocer, if he's a russia investigator with the investigative journalism collective belling, cat. he was part of a team that discovered and collected key information about the downing of flight and 17, and he joins me from the austrian capital vienna, welcome to the w. and from all the evidence you've seen, is there any doubt that russia was behind the shooting down of an age 70? now there is no doubt and we've seen even more evidence than the one that's been present in court because we've been stake, looked at every shred of telecommunications data, every satellite photo, every social media posting of russian soldiers who move from course where the 53rd

brigade which is the gate that the investigative justification team believes was the source of the missile to the border of russia. we've seen so much mutually corroborating evidence of that holistic lead. there is no alternative explanation than the fact that russia provide the weapon that shut down and killed 298 people. right, well, talk to us now about russia's role in the aftermath you said in an online piece that russian state actors not only am a co op, didn't cooperate in the investigation, but actively tried to falsify evidence and spread ms information. so tell us a little bit more about this. well, the russian position after the, in the aftermath of the downing was to spread as many mutually conflicting and contradictory theories about what might have happened. that the average viewer, a consumer of news would get just tired. i mean somebody recently like this to

a very good metaphor that like to borrow, which is d d also in the wind, the videos in the media essentially bombarding the media with trying to theories with count that more than 75 different theories that have been proper promulgated by different russian agencies, both state and, and private, but working as process if there was a state including the, the, the airplane to airplane scenario. where they claim that people living down in east ukraine were able with their simple, with a naked eye to see a ukrainian airplane that was flying above the clouds. this is something that is even scientifically and technical and possible. but that's just one example of a theory that has being used to dilute the the, the evidence. what i'd rather consider is that if russia wanted to find the truth, it would just be cooperating with the investigation to the degree that is being requested to. and it's still decline still, for example, the investigative team, the judges have requested russia to provide access for questioning to members of

the 53rd brigade, 2 officers from the fifty's order gate, in order for them to exonerate themselves or to exonerate russia. russia is just silent on this and they do not provide. so texas, russia continues claiming that it's excluded from the investigation is not given a chance to provide an input, but at the same time it doesn't comply with such requests for data. all right, we'll leave it there. christophe grows. have russia investigated with the investigative collective spelling cast? thank you. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making use around the world. us health officials have approved the 1st new drug for alzheimer's disease in nearly 20 years . despite warnings from independent invite advisors that the treatment made by biogen hasn't been shown to slow the brain destroying illness. regulators say the only drug that concrete, the disease rather than manager symptoms. russian opposition figure alexei, nevada. he has been discharged from a prison hospital and returned to jail,

nevada. the scene here in court with hospitalized in april after going on hunger strike, he serving 2 and a half years for embezzlement. a case supporters co politically motivated. molly's kernel as see me going to the scene here in file footage has been sworn in as molly's president after needing his 2nd qu in a year. he's promising to be a transitional leader and hold fair and transparent elections. international community has condemned his seizure of power v. the far right has failed to redraw germany's political map angle. american conservatives have comfortably seen off a challenge from the alternative for germany in the eastern state of saxony. and how'd the chancellor's party to c t you one more than a 3rd of the vote. the a f. d received fewer votes than in the previous election in 2016, but remains the 2nd biggest party in the state parliament. it followed by the left party, the social democrats, the free democrats,

and the greens. this ballot was closely watched as it was the last test of public opinion before september is national elections. for months in the pose, 2 parties were breathing down each other's next. here in the east, in german date of saxon the on house in the endo, a resounding unexpectedly strong wind for the conservative t to you and nothing close to an upset from the far right alternative to germany a f d. i was just ordering, lots of the voters have taken a clear stand logo and a large majority of our citizens had said, we don't want to be associated in any way with the 3 latest date. and i'm very grateful for the samsung phone. many here in saxony, on how to relatively poorest days, full t a f. t food when and would, when it had pulled strongly for months, capitalizing on voted dissatisfaction with the pandemic while keeping to its core

and team aggression message. instead, sundays result indicate the f d may be weakening and it's stronghold areas, but it's putting a positive spin on the result from as it is not that bad, we're very happy with the results. it's pretty much what we got last time and i have to say it's important to me that we got the working class back to the left part. he has lost voters and the work is in the state came to us. and i'm actually very happy with this result. even though it sucks to me on how it is a small size see to use when here is a much needed boost to federal leader and lash at it. he's got a lot on his place. like finishing off the challenge nationally from the greens he were riding high in the palm. if he succeeds lash, it's done the greatest chance of winning the biggest prize. replacing uncle michael as chancellor call me, the indian capital tele has been reopening as a devastating 2nd crone of virus. wave receipts on monday,

daddy's markets and shopping malls opened their doors to the public. again. offices and the cities metro are also back in action. running at 50 percent capacity to maintain social distancing. just weeks ago, deli experienced one of the worst covert 19 crises seen so far make shift crematorium sprang up as hundreds died of the virus industry to every day. well here's the look now. are other developments in the corona virus pandemic? the u. s. based drug manufacturer, madonna, has submitted applications to european union health regulators, habits faxing and approved for other adolescents age 12 and over the vaccine is currently approved only for over $800.00. the philippines is to begin vaccinating around 35000000 people working outside of their homes. such as public transport stuff in a bit to open up the economy. it's the next phase of a rolling that began in march. and spain has opened its borders to tourists from a number of non e u countries, including the united states,

as long as they can provide proof of vaccination. non vaccinated tourists from the you can now enter spain with proof of a recent negative androgen test. the corona virus pandemic has caused suffering across the world and even having an impact under water. divers in the philippines are finding a growing number of face masks and personal protective equipment on the sea bed. adding to the plastic waste pudding, marine life a risk, it's becoming a tiresome routine. people go diving and bring back plastic trash when they surface . and now the pandemic is adding a new element to see pollution. like here in the philippines the marine life has been able to take a break from us personally. however, they're getting inundated with a new source of trash, which is face to face shield. and you know, the money suits that people are wearing the mask only add to the plastic bags,

diapers, and packaging materials that already like local waters and residents say that means something needs to be done. i think we'll be seeing more of them. more of the faith my i think we will be wearing faith mass for awhile requite some time. so even the efforts of the local governments for establishment to actually segregate the sash for that. meaning we need to provide a separate trash bin for the b p. b, a new report once about the growing problem of ocean plastic pollution. for 5th of it comes from asia. the u. n. is singling out the philippine saying it's responsible for a whopping one 3rd of all ocean plastic. right? you're up to date for now. up next, stephen beardsley is going to be here with business. you're watching the news life

from berlin and don't forget you can find it on social media. we're at the w news on instagram, twitter, and of course there's our website dw, dot com. i'm part of lilian from the rest of him here in berlin. take care and see at the top of the next hour with the ah, ah, we don't want to see them putting our, their street, our water up here. you're right to the now we're new global 3000 series. about the threats you're facing. the

heroes achiness stands. it's important to make up and the mobile 3000 series starts june 21st on d, w a l salvador is poised to make bitcoin a legal currency. the 1st country in the world to do so. what could it mean for a country heavily dependent on remittances? it's eager to draw alpha investments. also want to show south africa, deployed a new tax. the curb should re soft drinks. it works a little too well for beverage makers. they're not pointing to job losses. and german cars supplier bosh opens the state of the art semi conductor factory near dresden, could be a small step small step forward toward helping ease

a global chip shortage. put the brakes. the car industry. welcome to the show. i'm seeing beardley in berlin. el salvador could become the 1st country in the world to make bitcoin legal tender. president ny bouquet le announcing he will propose a bill to the countries congress this week of salvatore has a high poverty rate and very low public spending on health and welfare. for example, many salvadorans are dependent instead on remittances from family living abroad. money transfers that make crypto currency look attractive. el salvadoran president pick the perfect place to unveil his country's crypto plans, the bitcoin trade show in miami. lots of visitors were hoping to hear good news about big coin encrypt currency. president naive killers. pre recorded video message was created, especially for the trade fair and was well received. i will send to congress a bill that will make bill going, legal, tender and inside of our in the short term, this will generate jobs and help provide financial inclusion. 2000 and i said the

formal economy, 70 percent of el salvador inhabitants. don't have a bank account, low income groups in particular, rely on family members working abroad to send money home. this often involves significant fees and time. bitcoin transfers can be done inside a few minutes and inexpensively according to president kayla. but there are risks like volatility. the value of one big coin skyrocketed this year to over $64500.00 before plummeting. by more than 40 percent, el salvador doesn't actually have its own currency. it uses the us dollar, and it will continue to do so along with bitcoin. or christie plus with the w business joins me for more on this. christy the c l salvador is a poor nation. what does this idea to bring in bitcoin is legal to tender. what does it mean for normal salvador? how do we know?

yeah, hi steven. so, i mean, as we heard in the video, what l salvador is dealing with or the economic situation there is that about a quarter of salvadorans live actually outside of the country. and a lot of these people send money back home money that they've earned abroad. now this money accounts for around 20 percent of el salvatore's g d p. i'm so very significant amount and what the president hopes to accomplish by adopting bitcoin as legal tender is to cut down on the time it takes on the cost. the sakes currently is the case that some, that money, a lot of people have to go to money transfer services. they might have to pick the money up physically, often there's fees as much as 10 percent or even higher. so by using bitcoin and cutting all this out of the country stamps to regain a lot of a lot of that loss value. now on the other hand, is the infrastructure there for regular people out of it or to buy food to pay rent with bitcoin. i mean, it's certainly not there right now,

so the question will be whether this, this will develop quickly enough for to be of use for them. chris, you've been looking at this and sort of measuring the pros and cons here. do we know which side outweighs which we can sort of tell us here? yeah, right. well either you mentioned, you know, there is the, the economic gains that the country stands stands to when, on the other, on the other hand, bitcoin is towards the volatile. this is, this is really not a quality that, that you want in, in a money that you are going to use on, on a widespread basis. i mean, people need to know that when they go to pay their mortgage or to pay a tuition fee, that their money is going to be worth. what they expected to be worth in. you know, we saw the coin rising as high as $65000.00 or this year. now dropping $25000.00 and below that in just a few months. so that's really big con and that's something that is going to have be watch going forward. we know the crypt currency exchange took off

a lot of countries this past year, especially african countries where there may be weaker currencies. to what extent are they watching? what's going on in el salvador? will that be tempting for them to policy? i would say a lot of people are going to be very interested in what's going on there. i mean, countries like nigeria, for example, that's a top 3 country in terms of people using bitcoin, they're up there with the u. s. in russia. so of course, a lot of people are going to be keen to see an adoption like that. that's, that's fair for any, any person living in a country where the financial system is, is unstable. now that being said, a lot of the african governments, the last thing they want is a more decentralized financial system. that's exactly what a docking bitcoin would be giving them. so i think we're going to be expecting pushback on a, on a government level still there for awhile. all right, we'll keep our eyes on it. chrissy plus when he does the business. thank you. thanks. staying in africa,

the south african sugar industry claims to have shared up 210000 jobs and lost almost $100000000.00 euros and profits after $2800.00 introduction of a sugar tax on soft drinks. now it's the 1st such tax and sub saharan africa. the aim being to reduce the sugar intake of consumers on that measure, it's been a success, but it's left businesses with a sour taste in their mouths. the liter of most of the research drink contains upwards of 90 grams of sugar and with the average south african consuming 2 cans of the stuff a day. the government introduced subsaharan africa, the 1st sugar tax. since its inception, in 2018 studies show that sugar intake from these beverages has been cut in half with the introduction of sugar. last about 30 percent of our revenue, which has led us to expand our lawns and look at other avenues to make money. when we have to groceries and the packaging to survive, to just keep up with good calm as it's really destroyed the business,

the health promotion levies. it was cold, was crafted as a means to halt, excessive sugar intake in a country where over a quarter of the population is a beast. results have been promising, as consumers take it upon themselves to stop guzzling sugary drinks. a good thing on monday, i'm trying not to drink soft drinks that much anymore and there's a lot of sugar in it. instead i'm drinking water these days. and soft drinks are very expensive as well. for every liter of sugary self drink sold, 11 percent of the value is now paid in tax to the government. that put strain on the sugar sector, which employs over 350000 people. for the industry there's been lots of losses. sells volumes have declined. job losses have come through, invest this li, an upgrade for the economy. but if you look at the current site is positive because coming to achieve this goal of reducing the amount of sugar consumed by individual

. the health sector can look forward to a real dividend in lower costs, as the health is use related to excess sugar intake like diabetes, to and heart disease fall for the guy if necessary in south africa at the center of these is that over consumption of the implementation of the genes text in 2018. we as being positive result of more people drinking less and less of sugar, which is a positive b in the long term prevention of b. c t and digital hearts, disease, stroke, hypertension and diabetes. but it's a bitter pill to swallow for those whose livelihoods are now under threat. we understand the all think the cation of sugar consumption and a lot of the father's comes are obese, at the moment. but at the same farm, it says it's

a government's dictating what we should consume and what we should not, which leaves no room for the person's personal freedom and choice. so the south african sugar industry has successfully lobbied neighboring governments to prevent similar taxes from being implemented there. let's take a look now. some of the other business stores making headlines. chinese state shipping company costco wants to acquire a stake in germany's largest port in hamburg. companies and talks with the port operators take a steak of up to 40 percent, and one of the large container terminals there. if the 2 parties come to an agreement, costco ships would get preferential treatment at the port. trying to imports group their fast paced in 10 years and may mostly because of surgeon commodity prices such as cole and steel exports, on the other hand, rose by less than expected because of delays at ports and southern china. primary shipping hub frances competition regulator has fine google 220000000 euros for abusing its dominant market position for placing online at 3 media groups. how

to chips, it's all about the tiny details. a single chips no larger than a finger, now contains several 1000000000 transistors. the science behind it is amazing. you can, we can check individual transistors if we suspect there's a defect. we can find a specific transistor among 5000000000 them, cut it, analyze it closely, and find the cause of the defect. tens of thousands of silicon wafers packed in boxes are moving through the production sights of global foundries. europe's largest ship, producer, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. once ordered, it can take up to 3 months to produce a chip. some of the factory machinery costs as much as an aircraft and we see sustained high customer demand. the plant is already fully book this year and to a large extent, next year, we need to invest so we can offer our customers more products and technology
