a return to the coast of the state. ah, the success stories of biodiversity stores me 20 d w ah, ah, ah, ah! the solution to europe's energy problems may well come across the seas. huge ships filled with liquefied natural gas could sail to the continent. rescue ending is dependence on fuel piped from russia on this week's mate will look at how

governments, like germany's hoping to circumnavigate that energy supply problems. also coming up on the program, a wall of silence, how oligarchs employees conceal the true impact of sanctions. in critical condition, we'll look at the crisis in german social care. and the market for marijuana is it high time the drug was fully legalized. this is made d to be his business magazine. welcome to the program, and we begin with the biggest issue facing the european economy right now. the war in ukraine, the nation's needs to end their reliance on russian gas and l. n. g. could be the answer. this map shows the terminals where you can receive liquefied natural gas. they're dotted around the coastline of continental europe, but there is a yawning gap where germany meets see however,

that may be about to change. ah, germany's 1st floating liquefied natural gas terminal is under construction on the north sea coast will help the country when itself, off rush and gas is ellen. g, the solution to the gas crisis? oh, a lot of unique and onyx minister who about ha back hope so. he's the last to embark on the boat from bill. hm. softened to what's currently germany's number one energy project, the ellen g terminal. it's a momentous day. over 100 reporters have gathered to hear harvey announced the government's ambitious. ellen g plans intended to reduce germany's dependence on russian gas than ever did being a good image of if our work on this scale continues of this pace. and if all goes well, then by the end of the year, we'll be operating to ellen, g terminals via floating storage and re gas vacation unit 5. we can replace about

a quarter of the gas that we get from russia home as it's in other countries. we're better prepared to reduce dependency on russian gas and already operate ellen g terminals. germany is one of the few european countries without any and a scrambling to get up to speed. on purpose to use at the start of the war, i thought of russia turns off for gas then will be in trouble right now at the beginning of may i see us getting through summer and fall without a problem. have a boat arrives at the construction site. the 1st steel pillar is being bored into the c bed. the project is being fast tracked. normally, it would take years to complete the field. look again the logs that we've defied expectations. germany's working at an unprecedented ties and i believe that i shared determination to succeed and to cooperate with mind caused even our

bureaucracy to work with incredible efficiency globin otherwise an hour to deliver . the liquid gas is pumped from the ellen g freighter to the terminal via a pipeline across the water to facilities on the mainland. the new 28 kilometer pipeline is expected to be ready by december 2022. it will feed into germany's existing natural gas system, supplying german households and industry. berlin is spending big billions have gone into the for new ellen, g terminals. the government needs investors and to sign contracts with several partners, including open grid europe, o g, e, the countries biggest pipeline network operator, which has just weeks to complete the new pipeline. it will be a little bit more g is put its best team on the project which will take priority over other projects. otago, we've got 70 seventies in construction and we'll have more than 700 workers and

that's much more than usual, but hold on. option hom, rhoda a carrier can supply ellen g every 3 days. one of the major suppliers claims it can easily replace russian gas supplies to germany. the carriers dock at the floating storage ree gas if occasion units the f s are use i la f as i used to yet st with that type of hard to contract was signed today for a face i use. well, it will provide a quarter of germany's gas meets at dodge, got at a significant amount doctors not to the for the german government and will be a step closer to having independence from russian gas in. so we're not paying as god follows as we have goes, but here and val himself and on the north sea environmental concerns are dampening the mood the coast is home to the harbor porpoise, a protected species, conservation of say, the ellen, geez,

endanger the sea animals. so they are going to take legal action lavender from lead me with of course, the boring of you that we hear right now have you causes vibrations under water that can disturb, porpoise habitat, zebra, fine. but the main threat to that is actually the fisheries and nuts. now, there might be driven away from the area, but this can be adequately compensated with marine conservation elsewhere for them . i'm also liber time. the politicians are keen to avoid delays to their ellen g plans. their priority is ensuring the country can meet its gasoline and reduce its dependence on russian gas. long as you'll know, oil and gas has made some russians extraordinarily rich. we've all seen pictures of the ali galks, super yachts sailing clear blue waters, but the business arrangements of many wealthy russians can be far from transparent

. their operations can be protected under a veil of secrecy and defended through the use of intimidation. good liberals over by the dominated questions are not welcome here at the gates of the russian company, m as a in the czech republic. oh, the off day. we're back. oh, like emma say are certainly afraid of losing their jobs. all of a dollar people are talking, especially in the evenings at the pub about how things have been getting worse for a long time. but got a g activist petition, but no one from the outside can really say what's going on in the factory. at a company meeting, the russian managers muzzled all their employees. the economic situation is tense with products banned from export to russia. but the employees say that everything's okay. m s a is owned by

a russian parent company, the steel producer, t m k via subsidiaries based in cyprus, the largest shareholder to date is the oligarchy. dimitri pompeian sky. after the start of russia's war in ukraine, the putin confidant was the target of e u sanctions. shortly thereafter, will be on ski, gave up his shares, and t m. k fell under new management. the don't need denisha of plant is important for russia. it produces pipes and pumps for the oil and nuclear industries. with around 400 employees, m. s a is one of the largest employers in the town. the factory came into russian hands as part of the privatization of state owned check enterprises. wow, it hopes it helps if there are jobs and obtain all the sponsored out soccer club,

even now after its been relegated for both of those. 2 people still have deep connections to the company. the business was founded by a local family more than 100 years ago. the family gravesite is still maintained to this day. whole generations in this town have worked in the m as a factory, including this former employee. no needed. no, no. we don't know, the real owner is good. he doesn't, you know, to day let us go. there were always senior employees from russia. for example, in the finance department. i bought an article res, i'm responsible for that, but the official owner was never on site earning. never, never that in you could do need to know this man doesn't want to be recognized for years. he worked in management for the company. today he

works for german and american firms. he found the russian companies, corporate culture, oppressive and resigned. we have to fulfill, they are there and they commands how and that it was no discussion at all. i also, this will say like something's like age bees, the iowa in a self the way of course, the russian k g b's style is not rare in the czech republic. proc is where this oligarch hunter works. the database specialist has compiled a list of over 50 russian companies in the country at the top of the list, m. s a oligarch. dimitri pompeian sky is no longer the official owner of the check company, but who the true owner is, is anybody's guess. russian oligarchy, our masters of concealing their economic assets in the west. one tactic is using

dummy companies and straw men. the ownership structure of the company goes through cyprus, netherlands brought us back 3 times. so you had ownership change of like 568 companies. and it's extremely hard to track down, especially when some older company registries in some countries are not really opened and available what's missing? is it global wealth registry? that would be one way to clarify true ownership structures. russian oligarchy, currently have plenty of wiggle room to hide their properties. meanwhile, millions of ukrainians have fled their country to escape the terror of war. they've left their homes and their jobs behind one place where they may be able to find new

work is in germany's care sector, which is suffering a severe shortage of staff. one of the reasons it's struggling to recruit is the pay the are we c. d looked at the average annual salary offered to nurses in various countries. in 2017, the u. s. lead the way offering nearly 70000 euros. next came the netherlands and israel, germany, somewhere in the middle, paying $51000.00 euros per year on average of friends that falls to around $40000.00 euros. and in hungary is less than half of that. in germany, staff shortages are severely hitting society's ability to care for its elderly phillip falcon shine reports on a sector that's often underpaid and also undervalued. life expectancy is rising, while birth rates are falling. germany is getting older means there's a lot of work to be done and caring for the elderly. no chance for a lie in here. elderly careworks starts at 6 30 am. even for early birds,

the morning shift can be challenging. a quick handover from those finishing the night shift, then things get going. residence 1st, contact the care workers on the phone temperature checks and i'll stand at corona virus precaution, hearing aids to just medication to distribute were some i happy to help follow and rinse. oh, more temperature checks happening to get up and making the bad chest another morning in the life of a calico. if i say for michael, my name is eva micah. i've been working here for 20 years. if i enjoy my job here, go. nonetheless, the work can sometimes be quite challenging because in feeling out of what we for the work is never done good, we want to do things to the best of our ability. but it's not always possible. it's

like you're constantly thinking, i want that person to be ok, but i'm not coping myself on the floor. and i have to go to work constantly and it's always the same people who are sick again and we're short staffed today. it's a fast track to burn out or color shuffle, burns off conan. ladies as a care home, simply let stature, especially in the elderly care sector. the shortage isn't new, but for a long time there have been no exact figures. heinz, lot gun collected the data from the german government. now he's sounding the alarm result us that we need a buffer one thought additional nursing stuff which is quite huge. number 9. and it's more than $100.00. 15000 people if they're working full time, if they're working part part time, it even more at the ham and use their phone for the elderly. it's breakfast time.

if a micah is doing everything for everyone, instead of thanks to day it's complaints. lukewarm again. if you are the population, what to think about nurses? the deblanco would be, oh, they're doing a great job. i admired him, but i couldn't do that. payment is not sufficient. in long term care. it's below average. it's below that what you need to keep a family, a problem. last dba, familiar with, he himself has been working in a sector for 36 years. and as a member of the german elderly cara's association, he fights for better working conditions of legal. another care work is one of the most rewarding and versatile jobs in the aged care sector. they clear at least anyone who wants to be creative and combined professionalism with humanity and dignity, is

a great fit for it. we have to focus on the future workforce. those on the threshold you, we have to offer working conditions that they can feel good about. and won't damage their health yoga zone tight. that's not the case right now. buy it as is toys in this. therefore, we're back with a formica, who's giving miss dol nick a helping hand. it's almost lunchtime and she would like to get her head on the corner. come look in the mirror. yeah. yeah. oh man. oh man. well, she or call. when you see the residents with smiles on their faces, you can see that they're grateful with many, you know, they appreciate you. oh, everything else. i feel it's happy moments like these that remind her where she does this job. but it's undeniable. the care sector is close to breaking point

and the numbers requiring care will increase by up to 80 percent by the 20 fifty's . if for the year them you mentioned, i would advise every young person to consider a career in the care sector as well. but with this advice, only do it if you're also willing to get socially and politically involved in your profession is what's your for little so on gazillion. but showing that kind of initiative is an easy with such a demanding job. oh, but i guess sometimes i think or should i call on sick to morrow instead of going in. but the following day i always get up and go to work right in the end fixing the system is a question of money. how much are we willing to pay for elderly care because it doesn't come cheap? for me, it's become clear, change is inevitable, and it has to happen quickly because caring for the elderly is more important than

ever in our aging society. proponents of often lot of the restorative powers of marijuana and now the drug is turning into a legitimate money maker. germany is set to become the biggest legal weed market in the world. in the next 2 years, it could spark a europe wide rush for marijuana revenues, providing a whole new source of state taxes and thousands of jobs and has been for sale and reports. it's promising high returns for cannabis businesses. ah, smoking quote in germany is about to get easier, cheaper, cleaner, and more responsible. you can already be in possession of a small amount of marijuana here. and police are fairly relaxed about you smoking it, but you're not allowed to grow or sell it. i'll get to the business case in a moment. first, why germany's new green leading coalition wants to legalize it is how stay

alongside the they for a long time them could belief, was that banning cannabis with which stop consumption coming from your through people consume canvas. but at the moment, people are consuming canvas where they don't have a clue what next to the plant material is. and i can be mixed with all sorts of nasties and contain heavy metals from the soil. it's grown in and if you can fuel candidates today, you're directly supporting criminal organizations, that you're directly supporting other drugs. and this will be changed by the consumption in a re regulated market. emilio certainly, i'd prefer that these people obeyed the law, paid taxes, and stuck to the quality requirements instead of continuing to act illegally. if they fully legalize weight government stand to make millions of euros in taxes, other countries ah,

lookin and termini very closely on how this regulation is going to happens, this would spark a world wide rush and bring come to the planet for very short. this plant creates a better world kind of, since i'm a z, a few dollars. cannabis is a multi faceted plant and it's been used in almost all cultures for thousands of years. of course, it's a drug, but it also has healing qualities that can be eaten as it was used as a i've or in textiles older. just think about all the hem broke in sales. it's monday and one against. and they would never have discovered america without those ropes, in sales on ships zeiler. and he's either of the shipping is, is it's also good for soil. decontamination is it's, it's a fast growing raw material which could help against climate change current. it's a multi purpose and powerful plant. oh phone gosh lindsay, i pretend to flung since resumed to dine. vans and euphoria is extremely

high, especially among the many people who want to start a business in the sector shying. so how easy is it to set up a cannabis company like tammy con, near taste, and these 3 mates from uni, quit that jobs and fed everything they had on growing the perfect strain of mary jane for medical use. you can smell it a mile away, but i'm about to get a sneak peak of the most beautiful kind of his flowers in germany. when we fill in the plants, we take one cutting off the mother plants and the, the rerouted. and so basically we can keep this plan to life for an indefinite amount of time. so you see the red light that the room where the pants are currently sleeping from taking a new cutting to harvest is about $100.00 days. but within the 1st 20 days, the,

the plan basically doubles in size every $3.00 to $4.00 days. so that will be like this size and like the size, ah, ah, my goodness is like christmas. ah, because we have an hbo system that can control humanity and temperature so well we can grow the plants to this is without mold. if she were to have this kind of a flower that is so huge and they will grow even grow even larger than that. they would mold and the greenhouse that it allows you to grow all year round around 25 hours this for you. and it also allows us to grow completely free of pesticides and we also grow completely free of heavy metals. and we also test for them. and we can show certificates that there's really nothing in the powers. as you can see,

these guys have a massive head start on the recreational market. once those change, patrick wants to use these pharmaceutical platform to sell to regular consumers to absolutely. if we say the overall market is around $400.00 tons a year at and the average sales price will be as make a random figure and euros gram. it's $4000000000.00 euros of direct revenue and the relevant tax plus then as a consequence, the whole echo system that is going to grow. but what about all the bureaucratic hurdles and safety standards? i think it best if i would tell you it was super difficult, which it was a time frame of 12 to 18 month and a cost factor between half a 1000000 euros and 9000000 euros to continuous certification. process for

cultivate is, is like a recurring nightmare. high costs and less painful work and prerequisites. we invested probably around 20000000 euros. investing insecurity was one element and investing and high tech and deseeno pharmaceutical environment. that was just quite costly. so why not just grow your own? some governmental, our 3 or full plants. we always, he, it's a relatively small and very passionate group of cannabis consumers cultivating their own plans. most of recreational consumers want to have a standardized product that they can purchase from a professional cultivator because only in a professional environment to really come to standardized protocol. 7 competition and quality will search and price is full as more countries the criminalize, the use them possession of cannabis. i lot already have abandoning prison sentences for consumers or legalizing marijuana for medical use. 7 canada has made it fully

legal along with the auto why and the number of us state, the biggest legal market in the world will be germany if it follows suit. and the black market to evoke, it'll dry up in the medium term. is that what we're hoping? but hope know, people are also willing to pay a bit more than the black market because they know they're consuming legally and they're consuming a proper product. the whole logic will change and the at security for children will also get reduced because it's not that say to perform fit in the proof that you're grabbing. ah, it is vicky. i'm confident that germany will see a flourishing cannabis sector. 7 ah, well, if you must take, please do so responsibly and come back down to earth in time to enjoy the next

edition of may d to ease business magazine. thanks a lot for joining us. this time round until we meet again with ah, with
