young people clearly have the solutions, the future 77 percent. now, every region on the w, the, the, it's a massive market, but a potential problem child for east africa butting trading block. the democratic republic of congo wants in on the east african community. and some there are calling for an expedited entry. but could the country's political instability and or infrastructure in placing the group also on the show, a gradual recovery may be underway. but the pandemic risk leaving scars across labor markets, especially for younger workers. and plants. ling is big business in parts of the

world, but devastating to some species. authorities in chile are now making headway against cactus. hello, welcome to the show i'm seen in berlin. with 87000000 people, the democratic republic of congo would become the largest member of the east african community. shouldn't be admitted for current members that would in theory bring new opportunities for more frictionless trade. but congo could also bring serious challenges, its political instability for one violence in the east, its poor infrastructure. the choice is not an easy one. at the important border between uganda and the democratic republic of congress, alfonso, that's the symbol with ord stork. most of our customers come from across the border into dia, congo, but often fis immigration challenges like having to pay these fees. alfonse siena once that simplified? you know that much, you know, it's

a good thing to give the congo leaves free movement in and out of uganda, like we enter freely into kenya and tanzania without paying these fees. same with rwanda and south sudan, forcing us wish woodson be realize your record has applied to join the stuff we can regenerate your blog. you got days already upbeat about the prospect. and compiler has commissioned a motor medium dollar complex. at this point, the border to facilitate the trade between the 2 countries. we already enjoying the volumes of $580.00. yes. still as far. so that is an adjustment for us and it is a virgin area. so it is interest that in all the products that we produce. yeah. the east african community have been waiting this much from the original 3 member,

uganda, kenya and tanzania. bringing d r a c on board explained to the crit, blocks for to g d p, which is currently estimated at above $190000000000.00. chris bought that traders are also optimistic. it broadens the catchment area, the market catchment area for the region. but then also it gives the block with a separate kind of community block or the common market block. you know that clouds in, in the global geo political equation. but when you're negotiating with other blocks like the u. b, as in the national assembly, the us, china, on the other. the congo is known for its region natural resources, minerals and picture deposits. but the countries eastern region has been political and table for dated. something to that,

the stuff we can community complete by 2 rows in congress ability. the hope promoting regional trade will allow businesses like telephone females to thrive well the pandemic recovery is broadly underway in many countries. and in general, global growth appears to be returning. but growth isn't the best measure for labor markets. think about the service industry, which is a big employer, but doesn't contribute that much to economic output. or think about young workers trying to break into the workforce. now in most industrial nations, the number of young workers, not unemployment, education, or training, is pretty manageable between 5 and 10 percent in germany. as in most european nations, use unemployment in the us comes in at about 13 percent in china, about 18 percent. and in emerging and developing economies is much higher. however, almost a quarter of brazil's young people are out of the labor market. india, nigeria, south africa,

all have youth joblessness of over 30 percent. now keep in mind, these are all much younger countries, demographically, which makes that unemployment even more palpable. for many young people, finding a job during the pandemic requires a bit of pluck and perhaps some luck. here's a look at one job seeker, out of france. life has been an uphill struggle for linda. you naz she's from one of the poorest neighborhoods dropped out of school early and has been struggling to find a stable job. when the 23 year old finally signed up for training scheme to become a care worker. that was then suspended due to cope 19 and yet today she feels blessed. but i got lucky, i found a job thanks to the virus. crisis, pushed this nonprofit organization to set up a mosque workshop. i accepted the offer right away means i couldn't make then need linda signed up for 6 months. she's paid the minimum wage. 80 percent of that is

funded by the government. the rest is covered through sale of masks. use unemployment in france is currently around 20 percent and it's much higher in spain, greece and italy, employment as, as fallen sharply between 20202019 march of this is as lead to young people leaving the market. so stopping and looking for work. and this has to do with the lack of employment opportunities and to the difficulties faced by young people. linda doesn't want to do this new job forever, but it has helped her better define her long term project. she wants to work as a care worker and is now waiting for her training course to be rescheduled. or from job seekers there to employment on a broader level. spain has committed to spinning around 10000000000 euros from the

use pandemic recovery fun to arrest the decline of its economically deprived rural regions. a lack of jobs has seen the country lose a 3rd of its rural population in the last half century, leaving many towns dying or pretty much dead. for those still there, the economic gap with their counterparts in the city is vast. we're exploring the chair, the wealth engine in spain, the region headquarters by rural flight the village of abil wheeler used to be home to 500 residents, now only 24 of them remaining. a lot of the families that left use their houses here as a vacation residence and keep them wilmington but there's not a single stored left in the village. no school either, no village life, according to the local mayor. she's been battling for years for more steep 8th for

better transportation legs faster and i was just a little simple model of when we were always at the back of the key ones though we had the same right. is anyone else? you need a car for everything here. if you only want to haircut in there, because there are no services in the village because there aren't enough customers that almost if we had more people, we'd also have a shop, a hair dresser, and a medical stand. at least they're still a bar. almost everyone still living here is retired, unintentional. what does a little farming on the side? there are no opportunities for young people inadequate. but without them, the village has no future. value would be great if a family could move here and find some kind of work anything but without income that's not going to happen in the village just keeps empty. in parallel for looking,

i went over 3000 villages in spain, suffers from rural flight. another one joined the list every week. the economic gap between rural and urban areas is dramatic. in the provincial capital, where the regions politicians have been complaining bitterly about central government lethargy. now madrid says it's going down 10000000000 euros from the use corona virus rescue fund is be earmarked for disadvantage regions because i know that his transportation links are important and telecommunications connections for more by high speed internet should be available in all localities because the future is shaping up to be a place where the work is in the cloud. and the worker is where they want to live in the hospital. and we'll be able to have a whole lot of staff that have, you know, but that's like use ahead of our work here is in the fields. and so far,

no one has spotted anything resembling a digital no mad. let's take a look now some of the other business stories making headlines. european commission chief ursula underline stress the need to create more jobs for young europeans in a meeting with the danish prime minister. on friday from the lions visit to denmark comes after stops in greece, spain and portugal where she greenlit post pandemic recovery programs. e bay is set to sell and south korean business to a local consortium for over $3000000000.00. south korea, largest brick and mortar retailer in march and internet conglomerate navy will buy in 80 percent steak and e bay rather e bay, south korea. the u. s. parent company will retain the remainder britton's food and drink exports, so that you almost have in the 1st 3 months of the year shaken both by brags it and the pandemic partisan was cheese with exports down 72 percent. other drastic

declines were seen in fish and chocolate sales, but his trade with ireland is especially bad. it's plunged by 2 thirds. the bank of japan is launching a scheme to encourage financial institutions to boost lending and investment for fighting climate change. the central bank will release and outline of the new policy edits, meeting next month to be adjacent climate change could impact economic activity, prices and financial stability in the long term and must be address. well, plant smuggling can be a prickly business, especially when your spoils are cacti. but in all seriousness, the depth of some species from she lays out a comma desert represents an existential threat to the plants. now, authorities in italy entryway, i've cracked down a hoard of poached cactus plants stolen from the auto. com, a desert in chalet. some of these prickly plants are centuries old. the total hall discovered by the police a year ago since returned home is valued at over $1200000.00 on the black market.

to make this happen, police from july, an italy have worked together with the association for biodiversity and conservation for more than a year. poaching plants is becoming a problem, and it's a crime that threatens biodiversity in linked to extinction rates. like when you think about a threatened species, you should don't think about a plan. and i think part of it is because plans are everywhere. so we take for granted, even though many more plans are threatened with extinction, the phenomenon is known as plant blindness. hundreds of cacti species are more threatened with extinction than birds or mammals, and most people are not aware of it. often smugglers ease their way through customs without hassle because even some customs officers are not aware of the illegal plant trade. but this time it's different. the confiscation and subsequent

repatriation of the plans have made headlines around the world. it's raised awareness something that may help prevent future cat napping. all right, that's it for me and the d. w. business team here in berlin. we'll be back in a few hours in the meantime, you can find out more about these and other stories online, w dot com slash business watch. ah, o. people in trucks injure and was trying to see the city center. more and more refugees are being turned away. families, taxes. for the great trade. people getting 200 people around the world. more than 300000000 people are speaking with huge.
