we've also not received any budget from the government. i'm not luck on a jack home yet, but improvising in the face of adversity is what these men do. and the team has given them the camaraderie that al nasha says has helped. many of them recover from longstanding mental health issues. and that is all the news for this. how after short break prescribe will take you through the business news of the day, asking a burning question if nuclear power could and should continue to pop of the gym and energy mixed. i chin for that, that's coming up after a short break. so reset. feet of the world over d, w on facebook and twitter, up to date and in touch. follow us several dead in right wing extremists this right regression again world might be in couple raped and burned in south africa. people with disabilities more likely to lose their jobs. in the pandemic black

and new technologies and the future of flying have long been the focal points of the berlin air show. but in the ukraine war priorities have shift on chris kolber brought him to the program. certain industries in germany have to shut down. the economy minister says, should there not be enough russian gas come winter? russia has already cut supplies delivered through the baltic sea north stream pipeline, and could decide to keep the taps completely closed after scheduled maintenance work in july is over. meanwhile, a discussion is gathering momentum. brother, germany should extend the lifetime of its remaining nuclear power plants hook, ashima 2011, an earthquake trigger it tsunami. it destroys a nuclear power plant. the accident shakes the world leading to fears the same could have been elsewhere. the accident also prompts germany to exit from nuclear

power earlier than plant if you hear guns often as a proponent of the peaceful uses of nuclear energy, i want to be very frank. the events in japan of changed my opinion on nuclear energy in that in 201117 nuclear power plants west still on the grit. now only 3 remain active. they're supposed to close down by the end of the year, but the warn you crane and surging energy prices could affect the timeline. since russia's invasion of ukraine, the price of natural gas has jumped around 80 percent. many politicians and business lead us a calling for the nuclear plants, tory maine and operation. so energy supplies are secure in a north that was in an emergency situation. we have to physically secure our energy supply at any time and anywhere. but the german chancellor made it clear that there

won't be any changes to the nuclear shot down. currently at nuclear plants account for 6 percent of electricity in germany. the chancellor says keeping these nuclear plants would have little effect. this survey, however, shows more than 60 percent of the population on favor of continuing the operation of nuclear plants due to the looming threat of an energy crisis. let's get more of this from clemons. first, he is the president of the 4 institute, one of germany's most renowned economic research institutions. welcome back to the program. clemens. why would it be wise to keep germany's 3 remaining nuclear power plants in operation? we are facing an energy crisis, rising energy prices and the that means we should use all options to stabilize supply or to increase supply. nuclear plants don't produce guess or they may help to keep her energy prices at

a christy price is lower in the situation of high uncertainty. it's unwise not to use all options now of changing the schedule for the nuclear plants is costly and complicated. yes, but it's feasible and i think we in the situation we should use all options rather than giving away one without very good reasons. and let's address some of these, some of these issues here. i mean, we heard the chancellor saying everything is geared towards phasing out nuclear power this year when it comes to a maintenance intervals when it comes to these fuel rods. so how can this be overhauled before the crisis? a lot of things were good in directions that have to change. now, the question is really, is it feasible to change the schedule for shutting down the no kill the nuclear plants? love experts say yes, it is feasible, it is complicated, but of course,

the longer we wait, the more complicated these things become. i think we should do what's necessary to make it possible to keep these plans open. i think that would be the wiser move rather than saying just because we were on some calls, we don't change it. we are changing a lot of things at the moment. we need the flexibility and that we should apply that to look lance as everything else. i given the fact that amid does ukraine war long standing political positions in germany are practically changing overnight, i see that argument. nevertheless, experts say that getting the necessary fuel elements could take between 12 to 18 months possible to procure a new ones as well. so it's technically possible to continue running these plans. there are papers about that. the 2 has to live at one, maybe not all 3 plans, but maybe it's just 2 of them, but it's possible to do this. the question is,

do we have the political? well, we should remind ourselves, this is not about mentally changing the long term strategy. i personally think it would also be good to rethink the long term strategy about getting out of nuclear about here we are only talking about maybe a year or 2 or 3. so just changing the schedule, a little kind of source to president of the for institute. thank you for your time . thank you. germany, i love tons of says its canceling over 2000 additional flights at its frankfort and munich hobbs because of staff shortages. this comes on top of 900 connections already cancelled for july. the cancellations will chiefly affect german and european route and same with the asian sector. the berlin air show is underway here in the german capital. in recent years, the bi annual events put a strong emphasis on new technologies and the future of flying. but as the war and

ukraine rate is on, the priorities have shifted. ah, the handover of a long range air bus $321.00 to the bond is fair. the german military. lufthansa technic equipped the brand new air bus in 6 months. no doubt it can fly 100 soldiers to a deployment location. even none stop across the atlantic and the plane can also carry up to half a dozen intensive care patients. the military has ordered 2 of these, a 321 ellers and of tons of technic is convinced they won't be the only ones begin to list of analyses as let's look so naturally, we're not expecting this plane to be our last one. given the current global political situation and changes here in germany and europe, we're expecting additional orders not only from the german air force,

but also from our natal partners in germany and elsewhere in europe. not the bottom, in dodge lands onto all sides in law over unselect this aircraft is also on the bund us vast shopping list, the f 35 from you. as the fans firm lockheed martin, it costs a reported $100000000.00. the german military is the biggest exhibitor at the iowa berlin. international air show it's troop carrier. the a 400 m is featured here. air bus these good prospects for its wide body front loading beluga transporter, german weapons maker. ryan metal is showcasing luna. the next generation airborne recognizance system, it can identify and classify objects in real time. the bundeswehr is already on board with a system as part of his digitalization. dr. european guided missile maker m b d. a is also seeing an upswing is intelligent guided missiles are being developed for the german military. the missiles,

i networked both with each other and other weapons systems. the american of the films, us, oh, we feel that revenue will rise. we are noticing an increase in demand, and of course we have products that are already market standards. we have missiles that are already being used by the bundeswehr, and it's partner forces by partner slide cliff. it's a lucrative time for the defense industry. just recently, the german government opted to simplify and speed up the process with which the bundeswehr can award contract. more than 340000000 people around the world are facing food shortages. germany's foreign minister on elena boxes ahead of a g 7 meeting on food security. she also stressed that setting up transport routes for grain from ukraine as a top priority to prevent a global food crisis. millions of tons of wheat are currently locked in the countries port stewart, a russian blockade where russia tries to leverage its own position on the world

market. these are the pictures moscow hopes for when speaking of a record harvest this year. experts expect 12000000 tons more wheat this summer than last year. largely thanks to good weather. it's the kind of news that they like to bring up during high level talks. russian president vladimir putin himself announced the expected reco harvest touch you at the puzzle if you took this not only allows us to build up our own stocks, but also to better supply our global partners. that is very important for the well to food markets. yeah, there was, but there was nothing but putins. russia is at war with the west, and wheat is a weapon. prices have shot up between 50 and 60 per cent since february. that means higher profits for russia to says agricultural, expert andres, ease of that, i see your risk as well as long as part of russia is the world's leading. we'd

exploiter, if our no, for the wheat export bands, rushes we'd will account for 20 percent of global exports. that simply can't be replaced, yet was initially falling in which knew more than the address must go. as aware of this dependence state tv reports about the national grain forum, while the message sanctions have made russian lead exports more difficult, russia is demanding concessions from the west. virginia, also by remind. yep, it should go. so i would like to point out that russia is ready to provide its foreign partners with high quality produced to increase food security around the world when they paddled, say he's busy. now, what about on russians? they t, v. there's not a word about russia having created this crisis. odessa, large amounts of ukrainian grain are stoled here. odessa and michael life are the biggest ukrainian ports for grain exports, like russia. the country is also one of the world's leading exporters. but the

russian military has blocked ports along the ukrainian coast that's increased pressure on wheat prices, which were already high due to reduce russian exports earlier in the year as a result of its own export bad. and on top of this, russia now hoarding its own food exports as a form of blackmail holding back supplies to increased global prices or trading wheat in exchange for political support. moscow finds itself having more leverage, thanks to the welds demand for wheat, demanding concessions from the west. experts expect russian grain exports to sore the summer. raking in big profits due to high food prices. and the reps up are shown. as usual. you can find more news and background
