written with a lot of holocaust survivors, but also with political survivors from the not the concentration camps and all these survivors. i spoke with our shop really short for the whole life. they had been fighting for peace and for memory. and now we have a new war in the middle of europe watching dw, use life from berlin, businesses next. ah, ah, ah. people in trucks injured one, trying to flee the city center and more refugees are being turned away at the board . families flane's on the tanks in syria. these credit going from this with trade to people fleeing, screened around a raft,

getting 200 people has sunk in the gmc around the world. more than 300000000 people are seeking refuge. we asked why, because no one should have to flee. to make up your own mind, d. w. for mines were o. a russian course accuses matter of extremism. a judge in moscow has banned the web giant's hugely popular platforms. facebook and instagram, as russia amazed to silence dissenting voices, ending its reliance on russian fossil fuel is germany, is striking, deals to source its own and gas from elsewhere, got some analysis and deadly knock on effects of war. surging weight prices are

making food staples unaffordable in africa. the state of the business armor of watts in berlin. welcome to the program. and we began in russia where a court has banned facebook and instagram, prosecuted in moscow. acute parent company matter of extremist activities, thing it was allowing russo phobia on its platforms, facebook and instagram. we're already blocked in russia after the countries media regulator said they were being used to call for violence against russian soldiers. the new court ruling also prevents matter from opening offices and doing business in russia. however, the judge said that whatsapp, which is also in by matter can still be accessed because it isn't used to post public thinking. and it's got more on this from financial correspondent in new york. yes quarter. yes. thanks for joining us. just tell us young why russian prosecutors particularly targeting matters peers well, i mean,

the whole thing has been boiling for quite some time. i mean, they had, for example, been some claims that made up platform. so the mother company of the facebook had blocked access to russian media outlets. and then as you're already mentioned, so that facebook or meta actually allowed some posts to call for violence against the russian soldiers, some facebook or mega actually had an answer to that, to him saying that it actually relaxed some rules so that let me see here against violence speech only for people inside you were crane and only directed at russian and military in that country. so now this ruling that we've seen here on monday. so it's been all sorts of western companies reacting to the russian invasion of ukraine. but how am sticker

a us tech firms approaching what's been happening that well, i mean, it's a pretty mix. i mean, some us tech companies want to avoid to that. in russia, you might to create information evacuation. so some services like what then for example, you tube are and also some apple apps and still on. but we have mother tech companies, for example, some of the big chip makers. so qualcomm or intel, for instance, they definitely stopped export them to russia and that could hurt the tech industries in the country. so overall, the tech companies, so a lot of the tech companies are doing what hundreds of other companies are also doing that they're pretty much pulling away from russia. there is one little concern, so that russia to get there was sign up, for example, it could tried to replace the us technology,

but that's actually going to take quite some time. if we talk about conductors, for instance, it's going to take years to really build your own effect with, let's say, in russia. and so that's probably pretty hurtful to the russian economy. ok, i'm caught her new york, thanks to santa casa for us. now germany hunt for alternatives to russian fossil fuels is begun in earnest. economic minister robert hardback is on the 2nd leg of a trip to the persian gulf having already ink the gas supplied with cutter. but the german government is attempting a balancing act between securing enough oil and gas and keeping its climate promise . germany is doing all it can to wean itself of russian energy supplies. the country's economy minister, robert ha, back a green party. politicians said operate countries should increase oil production on a trip to the u. 8 e. m mr at lucas. now i did not talk about oil except for opec and disrespect we

called for the production volume to be increased in such a way that people in the world can pay for this oil. as long as we needed to rebrand is at the time kern, a german green minister, calling for more oil at a decent price. that's because russia accounts for more than half of germany's energy imports and berlin needs new partners on sunday habit was in kata where berlin sealed a long term gas supply partnership with the country. and now he is keen to emphasize the german government is also investing in cleaner energy. berlin signed 5 corporation deals with a u. h. yeah, low 100 off on their own, about producing green hydrogen, intensifying research, developing the technology, and then bring it to germany. it's not available yet, but transport technology development use in vic that can start already knows we have no time to lugs. the 2 countries want to create

a hydrogen value chain between the u. e and germany. the hope is that hydrogen could help germany accelerate efforts to the carbon ice meliss get more in this strong chip on the chin belly brought us our 4th. thanks for joining us in the studio from that just a little bit more about these. these deals that germany struck with the u. a x as a handful of them as, as, as 5 deals as specifically. and of course on those deals are really about research development like the em, germany, economy minister. oh, but havoc said there. and one of the more interesting ones is the one of which includes lufthansa and siemens are energy and an hour. and a moretti company called mazda. and they're supposed to work on an aviation fuel would be a synthetic fuel using hydrogen, which is what all those deals are about. so it's really about getting hydrogen which is you know, carbon, you troll, depending on how it's produced right now. it is produced in a way that it still releases emissions, but it, they weigh less than what we have in fossil fuels and we'll be looking to get in

one of those deals, of course, for the aviation fuel that is synthetic and would help you know, create pretty much carbon free flying. i'll make it possible, but none of that is happening right now. and of course we're looking at a pipeline of, you know, projects that would take 10 to 15 years. the delivery of the hydrogen. whoa, take at least the 1st one will arrive this year in germany. so we have to build up the technology for it. and it's going to get here maybe at the end of the year or something like that. and of course then the other stuff will come in the years to come, including a project with a found whole fine institute as well. scientific research institute and germany striking deals with the are you able to reason? well, it's not without its controversy, right? so how's this going down? came in germany. well, i mean about how the economy minutes that was asked about the other deals and asked about countries specifically because of course, cut there has received a lot of criticism for treatment of migrant workers. and, you know,

he points to the fact that we're talking about, you know, working with russia, which of course is very tearing regime, but it's also more with a european country. and of course, we're also looking at those countries which are not democratic, but beyond that war with the european countries obviously is a choice between he probably didn't put it that way, but the lesser of 2 evils. and that's what he's pretty much looking into. and yeah, i choice, but the one that had to be made. ok on the invalid. thanks a lot 1st and across. that 4th brings that report. so now ukraine and russia have been coded, europe's bread basket, because they are major supplies of grain. but war has cut off those supplies and sent wheat prices. searching. we report now from nairobi where the cost of bread is doubled to a price. if you can afford. chapin t john mu ciocca makes this we pita bread every morning in the nairobi. slum of con,

gamey. it's a typical breakfast here, but the bakery was recently forced to double its prizes. value i'm, it will go out. that's why our customers are disappearing. gamble, fail isn't us as bad as amended. we're not earning enough money. when his boss runs the bakery with 4 employees, prices for flower and sunflower oil, we're already going up. but now he says it's much worse due to russia's war against ukraine. international prices for wheat flour have jumped dramatically enough. what did you learn? what did you were paying attention to the war? because we need to know what's going on. that would be that some of the products we use come from both countries and, and everyone, the whole world is concerned. now you hope and it's likely the poorest that would be hardest hit kenny's poor already have to spend half of their already low income on food. here around

a 3rd of imported wheat comes from russia or ukraine. and people are award that has global supply, shrink prices will continue to rise. and that will make putting food on the table much harder in many developing countries. if food price goes up, then that kind of going to be string flesh on. and then of course, ultimately you expect that there's gonna be some effect on they generally ignore economic activities. ah, because people are trying to cut back ora, you don't have enough, but guessing power complicating matters here is a drought that is causing many to go hungry. millions already depend on assistance . if food starts to get scares, it becomes too expensive. it could lead to a catastrophe throughout the region. 276000000 people in the world who are in hunger crisis as we speak. and this is before the current crisis before

the war, a new current. yes. anything to help making sure their food commodities. central basic food commodities, reach millions of people around the world and it can't be too expensive. in nairobi, the price of wheaton oil has eaten into the baker is profit margin. if prices keep rising, it could soon put them out of business. or it looks like britain's royal mint is getting into the alchemy business is building the world's 1st recycling factory. it's an useless old electronics into gold by recovering the precious metal discounted circuit boards. the aim is to process up to 90 tons of electronic waste every week. and the high quality goals will be used to make up by the use by the ment, even to make vase and coins. before we go, remind our top story this, our russian court has band facebook and instagram accusing parent company meta extremist activities. prosecutors that the u. s. internet giant allowed research

phobia on its platforms, some things that a has previously denied. and so for me, in the business team here in berlin from all from us, do head over to our website t to we dot com slash business. you can also see is out on the d to we use youtube channel and we are both in place because well passed d to we don't miss nice until next time to get a war shaking your out to its core over 3 weeks ago. lesson taste rumbled over ukrainian soil. we've been there from the start witnessing the invasion, needing the risky that he's reporting on a war unfolding. the struggle for ukraine close up

next on d. w. a pulse ah, the beginning of a story that moves us and takes us along for the ride. it's all about to perspective culture information. this is neither. were you new and more d w. made for mines. oh. and what does more do to people are hatred and violence inherited from generation to generation and award winning documentary searches for answers for 2 years. the author
