russian invasion of ukraine remains very high, uses moscow of running a false flag operation. i claiming to be withdrawing forces from the border region . well, actually sending more troops in that's all for now. up next is business with the rob watts. and remember, there's plenty more world news analysis and debate on our website. that's d, w dot com, or until they're berlin. thanks for watching. ah, they've had no peace for for decades. people of iraq countries devastated. and there's no end to the plan. how did it come to this group? this is revealed and unprecedented story. he

behaved exactly like the government and the poison spread and bear with me 3 new life the great documentary series, iraq destruction of the nation starts march, 4th on d. w. a . go to conflict and ukraine de rail the global recovery. well, that's exactly the concern of representatives. the g 20 meeting in denisia will look at the possible economic impact of conflict with russia. apple under fresh air investors have been advised to vote against seo. tim cook's $99000000.00 pay packet and how resilient taxi drivers driven rounds of bend by ride hailing

firms have set up their own rival. is is date of your business on robots in berlin . welcome to the program. amazing of the g. 20 has begun with a warning that the crisis in ukraine could threaten the global economic recovery. finance ministers on central bankers from the world's biggest economies meeting in indonesia are assessing the possible impact of a major conflict in europe. the pandemic has been a lesson than the interconnectedness of the global economy. and that's why the world is now watching the russia ukraine crisis very closely as the president of hoth nation, indonesia noted at the g 20 summit. book guns. yeah, old one. what got become, but it is not time to create new tensions that could affect global recovery, let alone jeopardize world peace. as we're currently seeing in ukraine young, it is necessary that every party puts an end to rivalry and frictions,

and because of a body that done good. but banging, despite the ongoing global economic recovery escalations in the russia, ukraine crisis could only add to carbon 19 pandemic biggest challenges. inflation and supply chain bottlenecks and experts are still warning. new cove in 19 variants may appear, especially vaccine axis remains a challenge for the vast majority of the world's population, especially those living in poor countries. these nations alongside emerging economies, already dealing with another problem, unsustainable debt levels, which have been exacerbated by the pandemic. both the i m f and the world bank of sounded alarm. the global economic recovery is on shaky ground at risk of being thwarted by debt inflation. the pandemic or the russia ukraine crisis divest as in apple, a being urged to vote against it. c,

a is $99000000.00 pay package for last year. tim cook received the sum and shares salary and for other costs including use of a private jet. but the advisory firm, institutional shareholder services, says it has significant concerns over the payout. the $99000000.00 represents a huge chunk from the $15000000.00 cook received in 2020 let us discuss this further with our financial correspondent in new york. he ends quarter yann's. what exactly is it that the i assess is worried about when it comes to this payment, where this payment to a, tim cook up at the i didn't get too specific besides saying that they are expressing concern. but as you already mentioned, for example, to, to cook, for example, could use the private jets and t obvious the did that in the total amount of about

$700000.00 or a private security, an additional 6 $100000.00 for last year. so those are some areas where the pointing at that this is obviously excessive. so now actually shareholders can bring up their concerns at the next shareholder meeting next month to the board of apple. but to that, they don't have to follow the recommendations from shareholders, even if they don't an act or react at all. i mean, that might be a bet p r, but clearly, i mean, tim cook actually last made about 1400 times what the average apple employee takes home. and that's also in general. not that bad. yeah, actually that that's a good point because one of the issues here is how much more he's earning than the average apple employee. oh we think generally greater opposition to the amounts with ceo's a getting and we do see greater opposition and we definitely

also see that salary of the compensation get getting wider and wider. i looked it up here since the 1978. actually, the compensations of the chief executive officers have grown more than 1300 percent . the compensation for your typical worker has increased 18 percent in 1987. and we do see a revolt at more and more shareholder meetings. but as i said, the board, they do not necessarily have to follow, but those weights gaps, compensation gaps are so white that yes, we do see a certain results from shareholders and activists. ok, yeah. quarter new york for us. thank you. now let's take a look at some of the other global business stories making news. wal mart is reported. profits of nearly $3600000000.00 for the 4th quarter topping estimates. america's largest retail of muscle, in its way through rising inflation, snarled global supply chain. and coven 19 work shortages,

or during the busy holiday season. swiss food giant leslie saw net profit and sale saw last year during 2021. it sold off shares in cosmetic, of ne l'oreal and height prices as it battled soaring inflation. the maker of everything from coffee to pet food to chocolate, says its net profit, increased nearly 40 percent, just over 16000000000 euros. air france, kale m, says it hard its losses in 3.3 to 3300000000 your is last year. but the franco touch airline group is taking a cautious approach. 2022. it expects passenger demand to hover around 75 percent of free pandemic levels during the 1st quarter incited uncertainty over whether japan and china will reopen to european travelers are right. sharing apps like goober were once touted as a way for ordinary drivers to earn extra money on the side. but the app and many like it faced widespread criticism for creating more competition for taxi drivers

and not paying their work as well in brazil's largest city sao paolo drivers are launching a rival app. ride hailing fears rolls around 60 percent last year in sao paolo. but our drivers didn't get to see much of those gains trickle down. i linda, that he scoopers fair, not just uber, but all apps is really low. the fear is really low for drivers. and then you have the fuel on top, you got christ, the fuel. it's destroyed everyone's business, give rosecrans cocoanut gasoline prices where up 50 per cent last year. when brazil's inflation hit a 6 year high, a 10 percent up drivers aren't burning enough to cover rising costs. and they say ride hailing firms like ober have been taking advantage of the countries. high

unemployment rate e order will be sitting all day should of to day drivers have no security, outdated wages, a very complicated working environment. and with all of this in mind, we felt obligated to create our own app to compete in the ride hailing market, in order to take better care of the driver's ha, up all day, we don't believe. 150000 up drivers have teamed up to create an app called nebraska portuguese for pick me up with it. they want to retain a bigger chunk of the fair estimate. say the ride hailing ups. keep anything from between 14 to 60 percent of the fair, the drivers hope nebraska will change that statement technology in these days, robots are part of our every day lives. they make a cause. they can diffuse bombs, and they can even pick fruit. but the ongoing debate is well robots,

replace the majority of human workers, while many experts a hopeful that that weren't to be the case. some have a remarkably delicate touch, while others can master, challenging and unfamiliar terrain. interesting robots are making great progress in many fields. and as we'll, of course, they're getting smarter all the time for well, the couldn't robots are faster, more precise and stronger. so will robots be making us redundant in the near future? just how good are they in the meantime? was attempt is one growing trend is having robots work with materials that are on the softer side probation that stephan fishman, supervises government programs to promote robotics. and he's very up to date on developments for the family. even though you still have the problem in robotics,

especially when it came to handling or grasping objects that you had to quite accurately define what the object looked like was what the new technology means, greater flexibility and no more squashed raspberries. that's because robots could a human growing role in fruit and vegetable harvesting the need is particularly great in industrialized countries. because harvest workers, there are becoming harder to find the japanese paper folding technique. origami is also being used to develop robotic applications. it could make the vehicles ultra flexible helping to reach people after earthquakes. for example. then, we're going to see a lot more robot use in unstructured environments. if you will soon have robots that can recognize their environment and adapt accordingly. again, you can can among the other areas where robots are taking on more tasks is construction. it's one of the last sectors that had manage without them. but

the all purpose, humanoid robots, a domestic dream come true. doing all of our chores is not something we'll have in the foreseeable future. he's a man, we do a humanoid robot just doesn't make any sense. think of the immense amount of energy alone that a 2 legged robot would consume fossil fuel in mrs. young people know you'd have to dish out a couple 100000 euros for a robot like that. it wouldn't be affordable and kind of went the time and get specialized robots will be an increasingly common site as they become a growing part of our daily routine. and just before we leave here, we'd like to introduce you to one more robot. this is clover, and his event is in the u. k. believe that he could help prevent vast amounts of food waste each year. craver specializes in borrowing down into grain silos, which you can see here and there he checks if the grain is still in good condition,

he can then send back a report on whether it's too damn or suspect susceptible to bug infestation year and estimates that over $600000000.00 tons of grant gets wasted each year while it's in storage. that's all for me visiting amberlynn until next time. we'll take it with with the battle against cove it the only variant is putting healthcare systems around the world to the test. vaccination campaigns are accelerating while restrictions are intensifying once again. but are these measures enough to stop the spread of omicron? fax data and reports?
