the, you know, this channel we went to the top young people clearly have the solution, the future. 77 percent. now every weekend on the w the for electric vehicles in your, at the swedish battery develop a north pole says it's significantly increasing the capacity factory used to come on line later this year will speak to be also coming up. the us dennis is approved a quarter of a trillion dollars in tech spending investment bill and to help the american steel vaccine dominance from china and a journalism nonprofit and claim several of the richest americans, including amazon's chief just phase all sounds tested in

a long month page 0 income tax and some recent, yes. i'm robots in berlin. welcome to the program. so the battery developer no fault says it's rate $2750000000.00 to boost production capacity. at its new factory in northern sweden, it's planning to increase the clamps, annual output from 40 gigawatts out to 60, to meet the growing demand for electric cars. investors include germany's folks fog, which announced an order for batteries topping $14000000000.00 earlier this year. the no fault factory will start production later in 2021. now we can now welcome the ceo of no false piece of cost and onto the program. thanks for joining us on the to be you business until now. european companies have been happy to accept batteries from outside of the continent. what's changed?

i think one thing that it, that it has really changed is, is post code with. there's just been an increasingly duration of, of the electrification in the, in the car industry and thereby increasing demands of batteries specifically in the 232425 type of timeframe. and thereby need to, to build region all reliable the supply chains. but also to be really sustainable supply chains has been a lot in focus and i think this is what have been enabled us to to continue accelerate. you talk about the reliability of supply chains. is that something that's become more of an issue because of the current of ours pandemic? i think, and i think it be absolutely that the pan down there, we can put the focus on on the need of this regionalization. and it's not just the

battery factory, but it's also the supply chains below, such as raw materials and different types of components. so this is also a big focus off of the european union. now how to, how to stimulate the build up of this regional supply chain. have customers been telling you that they also want to be cutting china out of their supply chains because that is where the majority of electric vehicle batteries are coming from the no, i don't think they want to cut a cut out, but they want to to build it dear, you know, enable more partnerships and they will enable more partners then. and there is also, you know, it's like preference to, to work with, or in be and development in, in the european locations where you're in the same time zone,

you can speak the same or similar languages. so so i think there is, there is, everybody is, is asking for their partners to come closer to them in the code development as batteries become more and more strategic to add their vehicles on the vehicle to development. where your batteries be more expensive than your asian capacitors? i mean we, we, or already in the, in the strong competition with them, with the asians, and we would not win contracts if we were, it wouldn't be competitive and what we've at proven and what we working on on proving is, is that with scale and, and with the vertical integration that we're doing in, in norful f, utilizing also renewable energy at low cost. we can actually be very,

very competitive that producing new batteries, europe. one of the ways clearly clients trying to separate yourselves from competitive. this is with this promise of the, the world greenest battery. how can one battery be greener than the other? well, you know, it's an incredibly energy intensive process to build a battery if you to, and the value chain from raw materials and components and active material in into manufacturing is roughly about 80 times the amount of energy to produce one battery . and this means if a pyar corey industry at bills, factories, battery factories, to, to drive this transition and they build it in cold based economies, we will create the new car, but footprints the size of, of that spain or, or half germany is carbon footprint. to support industry, but if we do it with renewable energy and in, at, in, in

a smart way, we can avoid that than does that really key strategy. and where the mission that we really would like to push both towards the automakers, but also for the entire industry says about how you power this new plant of your basic carlson thea of north both. thanks for joining us on day to be a business. thank you. now the united states might still be the world's biggest economic power, but china has long been closing in the us. senate has now approved a multi $1000000000.00 investment package to counter that trend and defend its place at the top. on this vote, the a's are 68, the names are 30 to the 60 vote threshold having been achieved. the bill is past bipartisan agreement. this re are these days in the halls. but on this bill, republicans and democrats came together to boost the u. s. ability to compete with

chinese technology, which as a percentage of g d. p, we spend less than half of march at the chinese communist party. on basic research . we rely on foreign nations to surprise credit supply critical technologies that we invented, like semiconductors. indeed, the u. s. global market share of semiconductor manufacturing has steadily routed from 37 percent in 1990 to about 12 percent to day and recently at ship shortage has exposed walner abilities in the u. s. supply chain. the center piece of the new bill is a $50000000000.00 investment in semiconductor development and manufacturing. that's also $29000000000.00 to establish new directorate, focused on artificial intelligence and quantum science, with a national science foundation and $52000000000.00 for research programs. they are over all the bill calls for investments of about $250000000000.00 with most of the

spending occurring the 1st 5 years and a major effort to decrease the u. s. dependency on chinese products. so it will all of that spending in by the americans have in terms of an impact on china and taiwan while his correspondent in type pay. so it's on han, well, both china and i want to do accessing the impact experts in beijing that it's better not to over into predict the bill of purely confrontational or productive is that the government should continue it on science and technology. the development goals as taiwan, to be on my drive to my conductor giants like p s, and the to invest in the us more like their chip factory plant in arizona. we see whatever they do. we are sure to see the turning point of the industry with

supply chan reshuffled. now let's take a look at some of the other business stories making headlines. el salvador has become the 1st country to adopt bitcoin as legal, tender lawmakers in the central american countries congress passed. the bitcoin law prices can now be shown in bit going taxes can be paid with the digital currency, and bit coin will not be subject to capital gains tax. and the u. k is finance. mr richie sooner is seeking to exempt london financial institutions. post global minimum corporation tax that news comes less than a week after g. 7 nations agreed to back the tax. i'm see not 1st it in favor, but he says he fears a competitive disadvantage for the fact that if the proposed 15 percent minimum would drop were adopted. next to a journalism nonprofit is claiming several of the richest americans paid 0 income

tax. in some recent years, pro public claims to have seen tax returns showing amazon chairman jeff, based off the world's richest person. remember, made 0 payments in 272011. meanwhile was 2nd richest tycoon test lived a long musk also paid precisely 0 dollars in federal income taxes in 2018, according to pro public financial giant, george soros, also known as the man who broke the bank of england, paid no income tax over 3 consecutive years. pro public reported that the $25.00 richest americans pay the tax rates of just 3.4 percent between 20142018. that's a lot less than the 14 percent paid by the average american household for public a has not said how it obtained the confidential tax data. the us tax authority is investigating the league. let's talk about it a bit more though without financial correspondence in frankfort,

chelsea delaney the likes of musk and bays i was paying 0 tax in a year. how is that even possible? well, it's possible and it's legal because of the way that views ultra billionaires are making their money and they're not like normal employees like me and you and others who get a paycheck from their employer and have taxes taken out of that they are mostly building wealth through the accumulation of assets. so getting stock from the companies that they're running from, yards from penthouses from these massive vacation homes. and because of the tax could in the us, those assets are not taxed until you decide to sell them. so many of these ceo as many of these ultra 1000000000 years are basically able to pay very little tasks. jeff bases is really become the poster child for this. since the wealth went out by a $100000000000.00 from 2014 to 2018, he paid a one percent tax rate. so this is something that's certainly going to galvanized

debate over the us tax code. there have been proposals to sort of change it so that wealth is also being tax. but for now there hasn't been a lot of cohesion among politicians in the us about how, how they would go forward with something like that. okay, chelsea, delaney and frank, thanks for the update. and just finally a u. s. gold coin meant it in 1900. $33.00 has sold over $18800000.00 as an auction in new york, making it the most expensive coin in the world. does the double ego it shows lady liberty on one side and an american eagle on the other. the 1933 double eagles were the last american gold coins made for circulation. but when never legally issued that year, president roosevelt took the us off the gold standard, allowing the dollar to slide to boost exports during the great depression.

reminder, our top story, this, our swedish battery development north both says it's significantly increasing the capacity of a factory to, to come online later this year. that's all for me in the data we business team here in berlin from or to head over to d t v. dot com slash business the the fight against the corona virus pandemic. how has the rate of infection in developing? what does the latest research information and contact the corona virus tell the 19th special next on d, w. future wars c, w richard walker explores the evolution of digital warfare to make humility

more efficient. generally, just to share those with the best algorithms survive interest scenario. absolutely not. future wars starts june 10th, w. the bringing new life into the world during a global pandemic. or some countries like mexico vaccinate pregnant women against covet 19 a relief for anxious mothers to be cuz i was desperate to get a job. i was very nervous and excited yesterday i hardly slept, but now i'm calm and peaceful and i feel very happy. even though in other countries like brazil will reach about side effect. at least one expect into mother

has died to getting vaccinated, leaving many to wonder how best to protect the next generation. why come to the $900.00 special i want to jones ville in good to have you with us and to those expecting a baby. congratulations. now i'm sure you could do without the extra worry about the pandemic. some clear guidance would help, but authorities including here in germany, a still undecided so he hung up the info mit earth. i don't think it's evelyn kern is one of the exceptions, and not the norm among pregnant women in germany. she's about to be vaccinated against coven 19 i heard that it's now possible for pregnant women to be vaccinated. and i want to have as much protection as possible so that i don't catch the virus after role and then put

myself or my child in danger. michigan. germany has yet to issue a nationwide recommendation on inoculating pregnant women. but last month, the vaccination commission and the eastern stay affects me did with emma renee vaccine such as madonna and biotech pfizer from the 20th week of pregnancy. in this we can see that pregnant women don't experience more side effects and the unborn children don't have a higher risk without the vaccination. but we can also see that pregnant women with co 1920 times more likely to die from it. the commission use data from israel, the u. k. and the us decision. gynecologist cornelia herman has been inundated with requests in principle in principle, where doing the vaccinations in our free time. we just can't manage it during our consultation hours. and patients are coming not only from lights going around saxony, but from other states to like today, for example,

from north run west failure. many people are no longer prepared to wait for a recommendation from japanese national vaccine commission, nadine gazer has travelled from sex and his neighboring state of totally india. and for me, it's just very important that i protect myself as much as possible. and for me, that's the vaccination. some doctors in saxony holding off on vaccinating pregnant women until the recommendation is approved nationwide. but the only thing hindering gynecologist cornelia husband at the moment is the location arrival of doses. for moran joined by us, my colleague, professor at the federal mason unit in saint george's university. hospitals in london. good to have you with us. this is a very, very uncertain time for everyone, especially for pregnant women. is there a reason why pregnant women should not get vaccinated? when short answer is and no,

and there is no reason for them not to be vaccinated. and it is true that the initial quote with vaccine trials does not include pregnant women. having said that, now we have data from the cdc on more than 100 miles and lake norman received the vaccine and there were no safety signals or concerns either to themselves or their babies. well, that is an important point, because what do we know about the vaccines efficacy in pregnant women? basically because the job is given, not just to one, but to 2 people at well, just by midnight, we don't have the same quality of evidence as what we have on coven faxing and non pregnant individuals. but the data that we have suggests that are likely to react to the vaccine similar to non pregnant women. it seems that be developed similar and he bought this and it seemed that this antibodies cross the blood and that the

baby gets this anti bodies and the protection. and also this antibodies go in breast milk. so you know, but then she use for, for the pregnant woman and, and the baby it's, it'll be interesting to see how that develops. if the baby is basically already innoculated in the mother's womb, whether it will develop some sort of immunity even at a later stage, once it's been born, any speculation on that already? well, we did that. we have our on that, what we call the m r n a vaccines. there's our pfizer and my burner. and they have this morning. it is unlikely actually that the baby gets exposed to the, to the virus or to that even the mom a. but what we know that it seems that antibodies and the mother produces seems to cross the blur center within shitty and my protect the bait. you mentioned the m r

n a vaccine, because the latest recommendation from the joint committee and vaccination and immunization is that coby 19 vaccine should be offered to women and ideally are in a vaccines. why is that? why not vector vaccines or other kinds? i will, it is true that the current advice or guidance is i am, is to offer the m, r on a vaccines to bring a woman that's fine. and the dana and the reason behind that is the fact that they beta that we have before the cdc. where on them are on a vaccine, the pfizer and the madana job there to rec, seeing that where you are offered in the united states. and therefore, because we have safety data on this vaccines, the current guidance commendations is that for bring norman to receive one of these 2 actions. you mentioned already that pregnant women were not part of any vax and

trials. and i mean, i'm not surprised to hear that. nevertheless, we know that those trials unnecessary because it does take time in order to find out if a vaccine has any side effects or if there is any long term damage to be expected. so what's the j c v i recommendation for pregnant women right now based on i will, the current recommendation is that when can i get there? the callback's in so far we don't have any safety concerns and there is no reason not to offer it to bring the woman. and you have to be right that we need to get evidence. and then the last half started. so there are a number of trials including pfizer vaccine and pregnant women and a number of centers in the all over the world are participating in picking barton is trials, but will take time. it will take will be

a year or 2 before we actually get any data on the development of this ad babies or the children at the age of 2, for example. so, but meanwhile, we need to make sure that we protect pregnant women and offer them vaccines. and if they wanted and just briefly, what is the ideal week when should a pregnant woman get vaccinated? is there a specific window of opportunity there? was according to the, the current guidelines, it is no specific. when do we tell women to get seen or not to get the vaccine? having said that, the common advisors will be wait until that 12 week scan, just to make sure that there are no problems with the pregnancy, and then you can get the vaccine. and it's really important that we will make sure that this woman is protected before the letter said as a pregnancy, we call it the search on my stuff because this is a time, but we know that it's more risky for pregnant woman if she gets

a cobit she's more likely to needs an admissions intensive care unit or become critical. and therefore we want to make sure that she's protected before the life of the pregnancy. absolutely. professor kelly from the fatal medicine unit of saint george's university hospital in london. thank you so much for your time. thank you for having me and time for more of your questions now over a derrick. oh, what are the recommendations from breast feeding? mothers who contract coded 19 o. studies have shown that the baby is born to mothers infected with source code. the to very rarely become severely l themselves according to the world health organization. even if infants do contract over at 19, it generally takes a quite mild or, or a symptomatic course. but in the pan demik,

babies have often been separated from their infected mothers in an attempt to prevent the child from getting it as well. for newborns, however, both breast milk and skin to skin contact are crucial components of healthy early development. and the evidence indicates pretty convincingly that the virus can't spread through breast milk directly. the recommendation is therefore clear that whenever possible mothers should continue to breast feed their babies. but even though the risks to the infant, if it does catch cove in 1900 from its mother, are quite low, they weren't 0, which is why both the w h o and the cdc. also recommend taking some well known simple measures that can help to minimize them. the 1st is to practice good respiratory hygiene. so where a medical mass when within 2 meters,

if your child or while breastfeeding. the 2nd is to wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds before picking up your baby. you can also use disinfectant, clean, frequently touched surfaces as well. if you have a severe case of the disease or have more serious complications, then you can consider pumping. so your baby can be fed by a caregiver. if you do that though, both of you should continue to take the same precautions during that procedure that you take when breast feeding directly in. before we leave some good news for school kids in the czech republic, starting today, they don't have to wear face masks during lessons anymore. they are taking it off when do with the new insects and the numbers going down there,

the government decided to end the requirement to wear masks in classrooms during breaks between classes must do remain compulsory. however, very slowly step by step back towards analogy. now that brings us to the end of this edition of koby, $900.00 special. thanks for watching the news. the news news . the
