5:30 pm
to remind myself, because i grew up in a completely different way. broad pluralistic jewish in europe. the 2 part documentary starts july 5th on dw i, i, me, me what the batteries, smartphones, and even cosmetics have in common. right? a all contain silicon rare earth mattress lithium and other such elements. yes, they do even cosmetics. but the bigger issue is in most places, these elements are not readily available and mining them often harms the environment. so today we look at the re 4 critical raw materials or come to made.
5:31 pm
so here's something to note down june. the 12 is the united nations world today against child labor. today almost $1.10 of all children worldwide are engaged in child labor. and often they work in hazardous environments like mining the kinds of raw materials we need to keep up our way of life. micra is a group of minerals, houston, electronics, pains, and cosmetics. not only does it add an attractive shimmer to cosmetics, it's also a good conductor of heat and an electrical insulator. but very often, children are involved in mining it. the me, gama, debbie and 5 year old son bronze. you turn the fin, such a micah mclane, ring mineral plays a vital role in this regions economy. so many people signing the raw material is
5:32 pm
the only way to survive. children working for hours in the blistering, some in the indian state of junk. and it's nothing out of the ordinary. so that's how i left jello her glitter. my children are so young but there's no other way of making a living here. there's no farming and nothing. i can't afford to send them to school . they have to help me. but they manage 2 to 2 and a half kilos a day that we work until 5 in the evening. with it. they used to be more than 700 official micah mines in northern india. but in 1980, a new law came in to force banning deforestation that made it almost impossible to access new sources that the mineral companies left. but the mines remained today, some 50000 adults and children working illegally. almost all the workers are darlene, to occupy the lowest rung in the indian cast system. many members of indigenous tribes who are socially marginalized because there is little in the way of industry
5:33 pm
in the area. people are reliant on the minds. a kilogram of micro can bring up to the equivalent of 20 euro cents, but often they receive just half of that. middleman clean the mineral enlarge filter drums, the platelets then count into varying sizes. this is how it enters the market. the word mike describes a group of naturally occurring silicate materials that are rigid, yet at the same time, elastic many industries use the mineral and huge quantities among them, the cosmic sector. a few years ago, anna maria vega and her husband kind founded the company lethal calls metix the acres trans that all the ingredients the firm uses are weaken and ethically sourced
5:34 pm
can other words, they guarantee no animal testing was involved in production and no child labor one of the key raw materials, lethal cosmetics uses is micah, some of it comes from india. here we have 3 different types of mica. but this is, for example, a very sparkly version, which also has a chromatic effect to it. and what's great about that, it's face barkley, but it's completely natural. so it's free from any plastics. yankers can't imagine making bad cosmetics without micah. that's why they decided to hand pick dan supplier in india. they chose the distributor who was able to provide assurances that his micah only comes from minds that don't use child labor . although in the sector, it's often difficult to determine where the material originated with our suppliers
5:35 pm
with one supplier. that's also the manufacturer that also works directly with the mines, but also does the audits of the mines and have some independently audit as well. and that is where we gain the concept of mike. it is used in a wide range of applications. the biggest buyer in 2015, in terms of market value was the electronics industry, followed by companies that added the minerals paints and lactose. michael also finds widespread use in the construction industry. and of course, that plays an important role in the cause metric stacks. the everyday come on daily interest until in a way to help satisfy the global hunger. for micah, they never have any problem selling what they're connected to. one of many traders . if they receive 150 rupees a little under 2 euros, then it's a good day. she says, that's enough to buy some vegetables and rice. but for that everyone has to pitch
5:36 pm
in, including both her daughter's aged $7.00 and $9.00. we're going to get to know, i'm always afraid when i'm working that i'll be bitten by insects or snakes or then i'll fall into a pit. i was called by nick online. i'd really like to go to school. but we need money. we don't even have our own house. so i have to collect micah and i'm big. u . s. law has been in place in india since 2016. no child under the age of 14 is allowed to work. but the government itself concedes that around $12000000.00 children and young people are doing johnson fast aid organizations estimate. there are around 44000000 child labor's in india. it thought that around 22000 children are working in illegal mines in the states of john kind and b ha. many of them have never known a life without work because of their size,
5:37 pm
they are often made to crawl into freshly dog, unsecured, pince and shaft. oh, i knew i'm always afraid when i'm looking for micah, not long ago over there, 2 or 3 children of my age were buried in one of the shops and they died. yeah, i want to go to school. i don't want this for companies that work with micah projects, it's a perpetual balancing act between marketing and morals, business and conscience at lethal cosmetics in berlin. the yag is a trying to tackle the issue, head on wherever possible. they want to know exactly where the role materials are coming from. they also don't try to conceal from their customers that they use miter entire regions of india that are financially dependent on micah. and so if
5:38 pm
you replace it with something, for example, if something has synthetic, you're basically taking away their livelihood. so i think it's absolutely within our responsibility. of course, it's also within the responsibility of everybody in the chain to make sure that it's producing ethically as well. because metrics industry is very secretive when it comes to micah 2017. so the launch of the responsible mike, an initiative and a lines of companies obtaining micah from india. they all say they have a clear goal to end child labor in the minds by 2022. but an interview on the subject, a camera. well, on our request, including those sent to big industry names like mac, the current group and cooper shay were turned out. the if you ask them mine as a job and how to solve the problem,
5:39 pm
they say genuine change can only come if mining is once again officially allowed. because that's the only way to offer workers clear safety standards in a fair wage. then that children wouldn't have to work. some politicians have been demanding the reintroduction of official mining for a long time. we get to know the most good us. you can see that all the labors here are giving this sweat and blood. they're breaking their bones. i did, but what kind of life is this you not to, to get government congress look the other way. it's about him and we deserve better than this. when and all this toil so that the rest of the world can use not only because metrics but also devices like smartphones, they couldn't exist without rare earth. they used to create the vibration, for example, and to display vivid colors. so restless elements are in shoots demand worldwide. but reserves all finite. did you know there is gold in your
5:40 pm
smartphone? but don't go smashing it with a hammer. it's just a tiny amount of fraction of a ground, but still your device also contains $1617.00 rare earth element. they are what makes the smartphone smart. for example, neo damien dispos, e. m and praise your damien, make it vibrate and turbine produces a vivid colors in the display. around half of the world's population now has a smart phone and with a number growing rapidly demand for rare earth is set to rise. the good news is that rare earths orange. in fact, all that where the bad news is that mining them is difficult and bad for the environment. and reserves are finite. the supply of some rail herbs to be exhausted in just a few decades. so what can we do about it?
5:41 pm
well, you could keep your smartphone for longer. and when you do get a new one, have the old one recycled. oh, wow, my smartphone is hold on. yes. i think i think it is 8 or 9 years old. wow. guess in terms of the environment i'm doing pretty good. if using a device that runs on lithium ion battery really is environmentally friendly. i know that those batteries are crucial for the car industry to move away from fossil fuels. electron mobility is the bus word. but how green are these batteries really and what happens to them after they've been used? let's find out. the invention 19 john. good enough, stanley whitting him and the key, right? you know, jointly won the nobel prize and chemistry. the discovery that you have on that to
5:42 pm
turn the magic change and they invented and develop the technology that most of us use every day, often without even noticing it's your buds, smartphones, laptop, computers, courtland, vacuum cleaners and electric filters. it's this, the lithium ion battery technology is key to us driving around without burning fossil fuels. what does it take to make all these batteries? what do we do with them once this spins me? why are we playing with lego in this video? let's find out. the, the automobile has brought comfort and independence to the lives of billions of people, but guzzling, ever growing amounts of fossil fuels has also taken its toll on the climate. we have an energy, thanks to lithium ion battery. we might now be entering
5:43 pm
a new era mobility because of their high energy density, perfect and electric vehicles for a relatively tiny package. they pack of big punch realty in my about they as really enable many parts of the the problem is ation. this is hans eric melon. he founded a research and consulting firm focusing on lithium ion batteries. favorite thing in mobility looking my, i'm about to me as i would say. they have been a key technology. really attention is so big in the tech that we get to scale in the, in the production. and that brings the cost down of the battery. and the global sleep of electric vehicles is predicted to grow immensely over the next decade, from around 8000000 to 116000000. this means the demand for lithium ion battery
5:44 pm
will also shoot up. and this is where we might run into some problems. of course, it has a cost. we need materials to produce about the re sending any extract of industry has an impact on the environment. lithium is, as you probably guessed, pretty central to making a lithium ion battery. about 50 percent of the world's reserve of this alkali metal can be found here. and the so called lithium triangle across argentina, bolivia, and chilly mining. it involves pumping salt water from underground legs into pools and letting it evaporate. a process that could harm to the surrounding soil drain water supplies, and contaminate the air. so lithium, a finite study found we could run into serious trouble by mid century of demand. keep growing like this and then this quote that also goes into lithium batteries. it's a metal mainly found in the democratic republic of congo. it's mining has often been linked to inhumane working conditions and child labor people exposed to it have
5:45 pm
suffered from lung disease or heart problems. then you have also the energy that is required to make the batteries. especially production of saddles, require a lot of energy. this means c o 2 emissions. how much exactly really depends on the electricity mix of the reducing country. according to recent figures, making just a small battery for a car like this could cause more than 4 tons of c o 2. to give you an idea that's like driving a new diesel cardboard in the u for about 33000 kilometers. the good news is that emissions are thinking, battery production becomes more efficient and we shift towards cleaner energy sources. the bad news is that the batteries are losing capacity over time. so as there are more and more movies that will also be more and more spent batteries. how do we deal with them? reconnected and still active,
5:46 pm
recombined. and we used in different coverage. i think this is a dot kang, she's worked on a report about this for greenpeace east asia. the battery could be the vehicle if it's actually per day or like 5 years is that good in reading that com? you have enough performance? that's right. we can give spend compet, theresa 2nd life, for example, that can be turned into energy storage for windows solar. they could also pass you next camping trip and they still have enough juice left to drive a forklift or of boats and discard it. if the batteries are already used for all these things today, bandy and she really by reusing, using the original function of production, they could be recycling as role of yours and to produce more products. let's get up
5:47 pm
the lego to understand how lithium ion battery is get recycled. it often involves melting, so essentially heating them until they melt. that this uses lots and lots of energy, creates toxic emissions and lose us some of the materials. and that's why companies are coming up with new ways to recycle. you want to have as much as we can with high value materials that are taking a lot of effort to get over the ground. we want to use those carefully and as many times as we can, this is who now fell side chief commercial officer lifecycle lithium, ion battery recycling company from canada. we basically come up with process designed specifically for this to have high recovery rates of the material. and the 1st stage, what we call a spoke is a mechanical process that breaks down the batteries and separate some of the fundamental materials. very, very simply speaking, this is what happens. the batteries are shredded while being submerged in
5:48 pm
a non toxic solution. this is important because it prevents them from catching fire and in the worst case, blowing up then materials like plastic, copper and aluminum separated from what the industry called the black mass. this contains the valuable materials, like cobalt, nicole and lithium. the 2nd part of the process is up and this is really a hydro, metallurgy or wet chemistry process to process black mass into battery. great materials. what this means is that different chemicals get added to the black mass, which leads out different elements. these chemicals either make their way into the final product or reuse them the process. so this actually doesn't produce any waste water. you end up with a black mass separated into a single components like lithium, cobalt and nickel. so the end goal is that as we pull them out of the batteries, we're putting them back into new batteries and that hasn't been in achieved yet.
5:49 pm
high scale there's, there's elements of it around the world. but we want to help to continue to drive that forward. it just has to keep track exactly how many lithium ion batteries already get recycled mainly because they're often exported. but it is already happening more and more especially in asia, where most of them also produce and as volumes of spend batteries grow, it will make even more financial sense to recycle them. in the i do that way. we hope that there's no burden auto renew materials that could be used indefinitely. lithium, ion battery, already one of the most products. it's already used today and told them that able to recycle. we can optimize is better and better. and the more we have on the market as
5:50 pm
a more of those now the karone of ours pandemic has shown how dependent europe is on raw materials from other parts of the world locked downs in asia. and border closures caused massive disruptions in the global supply chain. forcing manufacturers to slower even hold production. a team of geologist is now working to find raw materials like lithium, rare earth and graphite in northern europe. to allow the you to be less dependent on of us. in particular, china. the, in the fuel, it is in no way get to work. they've been commissioned by a company called nodes mining to search for critical material. right here in northern europe says they need to take samples. lines is really nice me to actually hear because you can see like the thickness of them is it's pretty good for your religion. back at the research camp,
5:51 pm
the team examines hundreds of drew's samples every month. we can face some of them in our lives. ation here be specific. we may think fans that we're looking at which is where the higher grade mineralization is. obviously, standing in the medium and phosphorus that we're looking at because there's extra phosphorus is an essential role material used in fertilizer. the large deposits of the medium, on the other hand, can be used in batteries that store energy with an electrical power grid. both elements are considered critical materials, along with a range of others, such as lithium s o graphite. but where does the term critical val material come from? the question we put to the founder of the mining company critical role, the carol determine ology, which is basically comes from europe,
5:52 pm
has been invented by the u. because the europeans are dependent on today as far as the globe, particularly from supply from china. and which is about 6662 percent. china is the number one producer of critical val materials. in the case of rare, china provides more than 80 percent of global supply and processes the largest online. then there's cobalt, lithium, copper, and nichol. here, china has secured strategic supply commitments from other countries to gain the monopoly. these materials are important for the new energy which i needed to stop global warming. so right now, exceeding global climate goals depends on chinese roll materials. take lithium mining, like here in california, lithium is used in batteries for electric cars,
5:53 pm
tier to china, dominates the market. electric cars, wind and solar energy, all require a huge amount of critical materials. by 2040 lithium consumption is expected to be $42.00 times what it is now. the use of graphite cobalt a nickel will increase massively. busy well, rate it will be consumed and 7 times the current range. huffman is another critical material that's in high demand owing to its use and electric vehicles and generators. china recognize the signs of the times early on. now, europe is playing catch up. green a digital technologies currently depend on a number of scarce raw materials. we import, lithium for electric cars, platinum, to produce clean hydrogen, silicon metal, for solar panels,
5:54 pm
98 percent of the earth elements we need come from single supplier china. this is why we have proposed to create a european raw materials alliance. the u has committed to reducing its carbon emissions by 60 percent over the next 2 decades. so a year applied to thought him as companies with headquarters in berlin has been charged with the the issue of raw materials. so you can rama to alliance has one mandate tests the mandate to protect your. ready own from any kind of supply interaction of raw materials, in particular critical raw materials. and in this context, of course, our role is 1st and foremost, understanding the pattern and the mix of the moment here. and here the road is identifying respective companies that have the willingness and capability to invest
5:55 pm
into raw material topics that can help closing the gap that we were just talking about. it would likely take 10 to 35000000000 euros of investment to mind the necessary raw materials. so companies like nor to mining that are funding themselves are especially welcome to me. if you will find a good project, you have the index to attend. am. it's, you know, it is very intriguing and will be doing it's very exciting because it's not only a minute project such, it has become a geopolitical and geo strategic thing. but it often takes up to 20 years to build in mind, starting from the initial phase of exploration. north mining says it already has enough funding from investors and hope to start mining much sooner to the european union. it can't come soon enough. that's all for this edition of
5:56 pm
mate. thanks for watching. stay safe. the news. mm. ah, the news
5:57 pm
the the the the ah young immigrant. they know the police will stop them. that the route is another solution. they know their flights. it could be a whole lot going back. it's not an option. shattered dreams starts june 18th, on d. w. oh, against the corona virus pandemic. now has the right of infection in developing
5:58 pm
what measures are being taken? what does the latest research say? information and context ah, caribbean, i recently dated central monday to friday on dw 2016 as like a bunch of the clean cars. i want to see if germany was for me the last few years have been quite right fully in touch with the already done my homework when it comes to journal this. and of course i would look in the eyes birches, but perhaps the biggest on a new hobby of $900.00 on approved. i got to be in the news. there. person never comes when you're feeling forgiving your realize it's coach. it's another way of living. are you ready to meet the german then join me, right? just do it on b, w or some people don't care about me because
5:59 pm
they don't see my beauty. some people don't care about me because they think i have nothing to give me a 2000000000 people due to i am everything at home. the food life viewed by day i and so does everything to 1000000000 people care about me. means me. and now i
6:00 pm
the the news. this is due to the news lived from berlin, some of the richest people in the united states pay almost no income tax. an investigative report on the finances of the wealthy, suggest that jeff bass, ilan must, and others spent 2 years avoiding taxes legally. also coming up the criminal and attempts to outlaw russia has main opposition with alex in the valley to anti corruption group goes on trial and moscow accused of being an extremist organization and rolling out the red carpet for a summer time, barely now. and the film festival usually takes place in february, due to the pandemic. it's been turned into an open air celebration.
6:01 pm
ah, i'm the spicer welcome to the program. and we begin with the revelations that several of the richest americans have paid a little to no income tax. and recent years, the investigative journalism unit pro public says it's seen the tax returns, showing that billionaires were legally able to avoid taxation, a potentially explosive explosive issue. in a time of rising inequality. they're the world's richest man, just phasers what ellen musk and they pay less taxes than most people. while living mind blowing, lifestyles pro public reveal that pays those paid no taxes in 20072011, while must paid on in 2018. the billionaires don't seem to have done anything illegal. they just use tax avoidance strategies beyond the reach of ordinary
6:02 pm
americans. super billionaires get their well from the growing value of their assets . they're only taxed if they sell those holdings. president joe biden has said he wants to raise taxes on the wealthy. good afternoon. no one likes to pay taxes. i know with my dad, you say it's a small price to live in this country. i firmly believe we firmly believe the need to make our tax system work for the middle class. that's why i think we should ask corporations in the top one percent to start paying their fair share and why we should crack down a millionaires and billionaires were escape taxes by cheating. meanwhile, the internal revenue service has been hit by years of budget cuts and low morale, leaving it less able to enforce the laws that are already on the books. after proposals, his report came out, the white house focused more on condemning the leak than on the issue of tax and equality itself with us against any unauthorized disclosure of confidential
6:03 pm
government information by a person with access is illegal. and we take this very seriously, the biden administration has said that many of its priorities will be paid for by higher taxes on the wealthy. what collecting that money, it seems, or you will be quite a challenge. we've been working on this. and for more on this we go to washington, d. c, and d w, of course on it carolina. you more carolina. what more can you tell us about the data that pro public has obtained? well, i probably got the information is based on a vast drove of never before seen internal revenue service information to the documents reveal the patterns in federal income taxes. the old for wealthy, like you mentioned, is also the richest man in the world. and we're in a backhand pay compared with their massive welfare can relation and in the legal
6:04 pm
form. the documents also reveal new information on how little the 25 wealthiest americans pay in taxes by the most conventional measure income. not all of them are able to minimize their income and avoid taxes, but even then the data shows that they still pay extremely low rates. on average, they paid 15.8 percent in personal, federal income taxes between the years 2014 and 2018. and that is lower than the rate a single worker making $45000.00 a year. my pay and the american president, joe barton, is currently on his way to europe per talks, and he said he wants to raise taxes on the rich. so the tax code need a, a complete overhaul. well, by then has been delivering that clear message already during his political campaign as we signed the report for the election of last year. and his message to the highest earner here in the, in the united states is that
6:05 pm
t and has always been that he's going to raise their taxes. and this is something he adopted from the progressive in his party. and they are called for the one percent to pay their fair share on income taxes, which keep in mind and make that to buy that has been spending a lot of save money for the corporate stimulus packets. now he's planning a big infrastructure reform in the united states, and that will cause again at least a trillion off dollars. so he has to get money into the pay treasury and the tax code might have to be changed the yes, but raising the tax rate on billionaires might be a quick way to get money into the state treasury for now. and i guess there needs to be some political momentum for that. so my next question is, what has the reaction been in the united states? these revelations are members of congress are calling now for internal revenue service to investigate how this information was leaked,
6:06 pm
but her progress has given me more prove to why they have been calling for a long time already for the revamp of the taxes. some democrats have also said that they want to recall the trump tax cuts from the year 2017. that lowered tax rate for the old, her wealthy badge with a type majority in congress. it doesn't really seem like this is going to happen anytime soon. ok d w carol? yes, you know in washington d. c. thanks so much. a russian court is considering a request to declare organisations linked to jailed opposition meter alex in the valley. as extremists, the court cases reaching is the most far reaching attempts, yet to dismantle the valleys nation. what network of support prosecutors accuses anti corruption foundation of trying, in their words, to destabilize russia. if the organization is classified as extremist members could
6:07 pm
face prison sentences be prevented from running in september as part of entry elections. let's take a look at how difficult supporting the valley in russia can be. and how the opposition politician has inspired a new wave of activist february in moscow. were filming at the memorial to the murdered opposition leader boris nym salt. just before the 6th anniversary of his death, a young man who looks like a tourist tells us he's just turned his own life up. somebody down. yeah. i was in the police. i resigned when alexi navarro, and he was sentenced to prison. was to go or anything, and i know it takes courage to resign for political reasons and especially to speak out in public. but sergey is determined school or somebody, you can't be scared the whole time by the name servers,
6:08 pm
not afraid. and neither is it like, you know how me, it depends on all of us. every one of us as a stake in the future of our country. at the 328 year old sir. he was a police officer for 5 years now. he lives on his savings, logging on youtube and instagram. he posted his resignation online on the dean of only was convicted, sergey was still wearing the police uniform, the verdict against navarro, and he was the last straw. he was also dismayed by the brutal police crackdown on demonstrations why the inspect that's in st. petersburg, close to a police officer to women to the ground. there were no charges against him and he wasn't even fired. i don't want to be part of the system anymore. because i'm ashamed of the violence even though it wasn't, that was just the family. so if you bring your mom in march shaggy traveled to
6:09 pm
moscow attending a seminar for local politicians organized by civil rights activists. among the speakers prominent opposition, figures are needed within minutes. police storm the room, the arrest everyone present, including one speaker, we were in the middle of interviewing the here with dangerous opposing the government. but this is about russia. future survey himself was arrested for the 1st time in his life. he was released and later find his former colleagues, he says, would not understand his actions, like most in russia. they are not interested in politics. just 3 cases have been reported of police officers resigning over the latest violent unrest. time now to take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world. the former volkswagen
6:10 pm
ceo martin since corn and 3 other former executives have agreed to pay the company a total of $288000000.00 euros. the money as compensation for their failure to promptly deal with a scandal over diesel engines rigged to cheat on emissions test, so called diesel gate as cost volkswagen. more than 30000000000 euros. at least 17 people have died after a bus collided with van carrying migrant workers on the highway in northern india, the workers were heading to the city of amid the bod to resume their factory. jobs after lockdown restrictions were lifted. cleanup efforts to remove a thick layer of slime or underway on turkeys more mar coastline bloom of the so called he's not is comp caused by compounds released by marine organisms. scientists say it's caused by untreated waste combined with warmer water
6:11 pm
temperatures. and the burly nelly is back, but with a twist, this year's film festival in berlin will be an open air celebration. everything is set for a summer special that will feature outdoor public screenings have more than $100.00 films. from the burly natalie selection, the films will be shown in 16 open air sentiments throughout the city. early now, a central location will be especially created open air cinema, on berlins museum island, where the festival red carpet has been rolled out. and let's go live now to get the scott rocks for a vendor and burly. now the reporter at scott burley. now al fresco, so to speak, i guess. what does it look like? yeah, well you can see behind me there just setting things up for the opening ceremony tonight for the 1st open air version of the belly. and i'm have to say i quite enjoyed. i mean, i'm used to really freezing my butt off in the red carpet in the winter. here in
6:12 pm
berlin. stab a in our right in the middle of summer is fantastic. we'll see how it goes. this is supposed to be really a bell in our, for the audience. this is the 1st sort of really public film festival that we've had since the start of corona. and i'm really excited to be how parents are and how many films are being shown and how are they selected? well, you mentioned quite a few films. they're going to be shown here. we're going to see all 15 of the competition films, they all had its official competition online only in march this year. so those films are going to be shown for an audience for the 1st time, a live audience for the 1st time. and then we have the sort of the winners of all the other sections of the balance. so to sort of a best ob, that have been picked to be shown for the berlin audience because that's really what this summer specials about. it's about the actual audience, the actual ordinary movie fans here in berlin that have been starved of the real movie experience for so long for over a year. now. ok,
6:13 pm
this is if memory surface 71st barely, not only has ever been anything like this, it history. well, no, not really. i mean it would berlin initially did start as a summer festival. well, even before my time in the fifty's and sixty's before it was then moved to the winter months. so since then in the last decades, we've never had anything like this any 3rd of summer celebration of cinema here in berlin. and of course we've never had an open air festival, which is this, this one is going to be because of cobit restrictions. so it would be really interesting to see how the berlin audience embraces dispensable and all the interest berlin can really pull it off, because this is a 1st time event. and there are, of course, a lot of security and safety issues concerns around cope. it's still, so we'll have to see if berlin can manage to, to pull it off. well, if berlin does pull it off and the public embraces, could we see something similar in the future?
6:14 pm
we'll see the festival said this is a one off event and they're not planning to do this again. but i really actually hope that we do see something like this in the future. because one thing i've always missed during the valley nala is the great summer weather, the great experience of summer in berlin, that you miss of course, in february when you have a film festival here. so let's hope that this really works and that the public really embraces and then maybe we'll see some version of this in the coming years. all right, dw scott ross pro from the open air and much warmer, 71st, burly. now in time for sports news now and doubts are growing over the hosting of this year's copa america football tournament. as after brazil supreme court that it would consider blocking the event. brazil stepped in as a late replacement for the event which starts on sunday. it was originally due to be hosted by colombia and argentina before those 2 countries were dropped. with corona virus cases searching many have question, the wisdom of brazil staging natural,
6:15 pm
marsh. i'm nick spicer and berlin. stay tuned for the business use with steven variously watch. the news, the news ah we don't want to see them putting our, their street, our water.
