as a my dear only me as buddy in cash offer quantity, even if they sign a deal that you nothing much will happen normal your, i don't think anything in the next year or 2 will have a positive impact on my life. it should resemble your manner or your father or because it was thinking when i'm to us. okay. little. i think our president does not even interested in reaching an agreement as when i drew honey wanted one, but didn't manager. as i'm as adam, i mean the new government does not even pursuing this hobby. it won't work out successfully. a fan, i am off at the, at yamaha that lives the foreign ministry leading the nuclear negotiations is just across the street. no representative wanted to speak to us priorities have shifted since iran's new hard line government took over sanctions relieve remains oppressing objective, but official willingness to cooperate where the west is at an all time low. this political analyst at t iran university tells us, oh, we're the realizes that of the, of are dealing with a country that's not

a reliable. it's called the united states at the left, the agreement. once it is this american saying that you hold me once, shame on you, if you fooled me twice, shame on me. so the racy admit assertion, monsieur. you see other people around him or don't, no more to be full twice. many ordinary iranians also feel duped. not only by the international community, but also by their own leaders. as almost martin tallahassee was a nuclear deal should be made when the basis of these law, mac republic is corrected. but from the very foundation, which is only the listen shows when the people in charge them have gone where they belong to them. he, his article has as long as that doesn't happen and agreement will not be reached only to do right through official has the people in charge. think only about the

benefits to themselves. lamb on, not about the 85000000 people living in this country. has the huge most retina heart care and so iranians are bracing for the worst. they know that no agreement is likely to mean more sanctions and even the possibility of a military confrontation. and that they'll be the ones paying the price at non about the bias and iran expert and co founder of the center for applied research. in partnership with the orient, he joined us. he joined us now from diesel doff at non welcome to de w. bray thing for the worst. we heard it there just how crucial are these talks for iran? what's at stake for the iranian people? i guess clearly the prospects for better economic livelihoods is what's at stake fully run in people and the prospects get, of course, a better if sanctions relief was on the horizon. and i think this is what matters to to be wrong in population most. and one of the aim of today's talks is getting

the united states back into the agreement. why is the biden administration reluctant to do that? yeah, unfortunately there was some, some head advice i would have to say in that with respect to not urging back into the deal if we all recall the by thousands duration came into power. and that was still the previous iranian government that was, that was much more positive on the talks. it could have been an easy return. but there was this idea to use the trump sanctions as leverage, so to speak, to gain more from the wrong. and i think this is where the problem is right now. we have a new government in iran, which is obviously on its part, also playing a bit harder than the previous one. iran analyst at non samantha by speaking to me a little earlier from south africa has begun a week of morning to ana, archbishop desmond tutu, he'll be laid to rest on new year's day. the anti anti apartheid icon is being

a race against time. china is hoping to eradicate rising corona virus numbers as it prepares the host the winter olympics will get the latest and the rest of the world goes nuts. the california walnuts will hear how supply chain problems mean. there aren't enough to go round the state of your business on robots in berlin. welcome to the program, roll on 2022. german companies are expecting big things from next year, despite all the concerns about a new corona, virus variance, and supply chain shortages. as according to the latest annual survey by the cologne institute for economic research, they asked 48 business associations representing almost 3000 companies about their prospects for 2022. and you'll see that 39 of them say they expect high reduction or greater business activity next year. the other 9 say things are supposed to say

are as they expect things to stay around the same level, not a single association expected their sector to be worse off in 2022 than 2021. now a wide variety of industries are optimistic on was across the board, really among them are machine and plant manufacturers. we've also got retailers, the i t sector is banking on more security contracts next year. and last but not least, we've also got construction. and the pharmaceuticals sector, however, when it comes to creating new jobs, the survey is not quite as bullish. only 21 out of the 48 associations. so they're sectors will be hiring more people among the manufacturers, electronic equipment and craft workers. at 19 of them said that the number of employees will remain the same while 8 of the business associations are actually planning to cut staff next year. well, let's discuss the findings of the survey further with the director of the cologne institute for economic research. michelle,

thank you very much for joining us on top of your business just to explain to us why there's so much optimism among jim and businesses than i mean. i think 3 arguments make clear why the german business sector is optimistic 1st. we're still out of the way of crisis. and the 2021 wasn't disappointed. your mom girls are we traced all the supply side problems you mentioned already. and this year and the next year 2020 will be a year catching up again. and we hope to come to the pre process level again. so it's still year of catching up. second on we have a lot of more in the auto statistics of the german or nearly on the historical level on the highest level. so there is no demand side problem. the only problem we have the only, maybe michael, but it's the supply settler rooms you mention. so we expected the joint business as in the general expect that there was

a problem next year. so all this is base is the basis for optimism button more. most important. we have no demand side problems in germany. when you have the on the con very, and now in case numbers are rising, how businesses feeling about that. they factoring that in when they think about how, how good 2022 is going to be for them. you'll be asked to answer for the company's end of november and the 1st time of december. so that was still in the situation that they were faced of the fact that there is a new, very variant of virus called micron a. but what can you do? you can only ask for a month flexibility edgelog production scheme. you can try to be flexible in the, in the uses of your workforce and all is already done and the companies are working on the vaccination campaign. so this is not very simple task to, to make an forecast on the only front is a base may be strong, but without a smaller impact on the hospitality situation. nobody knows. and the right is

between standstill of production that will be the worst case and an ongoing production. and maybe the best case that we have not really an effect on that. so in this case, you can only ask for flexibility. and he went about supply chain problems as far as having a knock on effect, we're seeing inflation as a result of that was in higher energy bills is on. is that expected to resolve itself during 2022? yeah, it takes more time as we expected during the year 21, but for next year the company's us indicating that they will see an ongoing, a lower problems on the supply side. the logistics systems which are really in trouble due to the closing of ports in east asia, for example, have we, we expect to, to solve these problems ever. come back on the, on in you quality on to just sticks. and the companies react as already mentioned, was high us dos. so right. this is still uncertain,

but there are more hope that will solve the problem next year. and this will the most important for coming up with all the demand, which is still in the auto statistics. ok. michelle hotel, director of the colleen's chief economic research. thank you for joining us. welcome. that china is seeing its highest numbers of corona virus cases since february of 2022 over 200 reported on sunday. most of the cases are in the northern city of she and where almost all businesses have been ordered to close. residents must say confined to their homes, as the authorities carry out what they call a full disk infection of the city. the usually bustling city of $13000000.00 is more like a ghost town. only one person from each household is allowed out every 2 days to buy household necessities. all non essential businesses have been ordered to close by may not like it. but 2 years into the pandemic,

people are getting used to it. stocking their fridges and preparing to sit it out. that's a schanzer. ya well, me. but now with experience, we know that locked down a large scale contact tracing and investigations of infected cases as well as quarantine, are very effective. that's our china has been able to curb the spread of a pandemic. what might be in such a shorter time, or you go my in the trees. so now i'm not scared. i said, all we have to do is follow quarantine instructions home and the pandemic will go away soon. if you might have a good, china has implemented a strict 0 covert strategy since mid last year, using tight border restrictions. targeted, locked down st. lengthy quarantines and population tracing technology. managing to slow new cases to a trickle. the country is implemented even stricter measures as it prices for thousands of international athletes. for the winter olympics, in february, foreign spectators are mostly banned. all participants must be fully vaccinated.

and once they enter, the olympic bubble will undergo daily virus tests. but with the virus expected to become a part of normal, everyday life. elsewhere in the world, china's total locked down strategy is coming increasingly under question i t. i show you shifting younger. now some the other global business stories making news. airlines across the world cancelled almost 8000 flights over the christmas weekend . according to the flight trucking website. flight aware dot com cruise code in thick after getting infected with cove in 19 bad weather. also kept many plains on the ground in north america. i could relate a flight cancellations, continued on monday to is russia energy giant gas from has rejected accusations that moscow is deliberately limiting natural gas supplies to europe. polish government says russia has stopped gas deliveries along the yamaha, europe pipeline, which supplies western european countries. public data shows the gas link has been put into reverse this week,

allowing poland to receive deliveries from germany instead and trouble. chinese property developer ever graham says it's accelerating the delivery of new homes to customers. it wants to deliver $39000.00 by the end of december. that's almost 4 times as many as it did in each of the previous 3 months. at 2021 has been blighted by all manner of supply shortages and the end of the year is proving no difference over the festive period. backlogs at ports have held up deliveries of all kinds of seasonal favorites in the u. s. supply bottlenecks. i'll providing a particular frustration farmers. walnuts do particularly well at gold river farm in california at the end of the year. from here, they're shipped around the world. 30 percent of the global supply comes from the west coast state. um, this load is going to germany. these in shall walnuts are going to lebanon. ah,

these loads are going to japan. but this year the boxes are piling up in the warehouses. not how it should be exports or grinding to a halt. gould rivers president is worried. are we are shipping right now? less than half of what we should be shipping and could be shipping this time of the year, simply because there's not equipment available. the port of oakland, a key export hub, see routes in major ports like this one are heavily congested due to high demand. ships often go only as far as los angeles rather than up to oakland to save time and money. they're making these decisions to try to get their vessels back on schedule as quickly as possible. and also because of the incredible import demand, they're trying to hurry back to asia, pick up in ports and bring him over to the united states. the woman farmers here in

northern california are losing out the competition on world markets is fears. china and chile are also important not suppliers. so is europe, or customers retailers, for example, no longer necessarily look for quality in times or uncertain supply. they're more concerned about availability, which is why the californians have already lost customers. now the global semiconductor chip shortage has been one of the biggest effects of international supply chain troubles. but as you've just seen, food is also struggling to get to where it's meant to be eaten. well, a potato shortage in japan means that mcdonald's restaurants are experiencing a chip shortage of their own. they are particularly popular in japan,

mcdonald's french fries, but for now, they're only available in size small. japan imports as potatoes from canada, among other places. but due to corona virus related logistics problems, as well as flooding near vancouver, future deliveries are arriving from canada. many japanese or disappointed. t i go to get out ever since i was a little girl. i loved mcdonalds fries. if i could, i would eat nothing but fries until i was full. so i'm a little bit disappointed to the end of it. i don't think it's that big a deal, especially if you can still buy multiple servings. it's not like all the fries are sold out, you know, if they were then, yes, i would find it a bit sad for the people who like mcdonald's fries, but they can still get the small pilot. they just have to settle for smaller portion, like around 2900 fast food restaurants in japan are affected by the delivery

problems. now, mcdonalds is hoping to fly their fries in until then fast food lovers will have to dial down their expectations. and now a reminder of the top business story we're following for you this, our japanese businesses are overwhelmingly optimistic about 2022. a survey of thousands of firms found 3 quarters of them expect the next 12 months to be better than the last from so from, and the business team here in berlin, from all from us to head over to our website, d dot com slash business. you can also find us on a d 2 d to be use youtube channel on facebook to next time. ah, the animals are clever. and some of the smartest pigeons, their visual memory is outstanding. can you memorize 700 images and
