across europe, some job markets have more to offer than others, will visit croatia and ferdinand marco's junior takes office as president of the philippines. can he keep the country on its recovery track? and what about some of his more populous promises? oh, well, come to the show, i'm so busy in berlin, it's good to have you with us. the german government says it will fast track the arrival of foreign workers to plug in staffing gaps at airports of airports across the country. the workers mostly from turkey will arrive on temporary contracts and be assigned to areas like baggage and check in. that's according to german ministers. on wednesday, the workers will not be used for security however, which has a lengthy vetting process. staff shortages have led to long lines and frustrated passengers at airports across europe. during the busy summer travel season. andrea paid as a journalist and a long time reporter on the ation industry under es, thanks for coming on the show. first, give us an overview of the situation facing european airports. how bad are things

for those who haven't seen it 1st hand things are pretty bent and things won't get much better anytime soon. this but everybody keeps saying, i talked to last tons of c o cost before only last week before he actually sent out this kind of letter of apology to his customers and he painted it pretty bleak picture. they said, okay, in a way we messed up and everybody messed up and it won't happen that that will be big changes before the end of the summer. so basically you have to get through this somehow that isn't his method that this actually the situation we're facing. all right, so somehow get through with the german government. seems to believe that foreign workers, many of them turkish might be part of the solution. to what extent are they correct? how helpful will that be? i think the space is the pure political action isn't it has no meaning in the immediate term. i mean, think of it, there's not a bunch of felons of curve is work is standing by in turkey,

eager to go to germany tomorrow, if they would be waiting to do that. still, there will be a very complicated security screening process here in germany, which could take weeks and months. and there's also actually called by the airlines to kind of simplify this, the security and check the has to be done back on the have to be done before, if any workers could join engaged and the idea of the island and right the so i think to have a unified approach for this security hearing for all of europe. so if a target comes to germany and gets this clearance, you can watch and then go to the front of the spain to work, which will be very helpful in order to prevent those cleaning things. if they would kind of make ways within you to fill in for voids there you've touched on a couple of times already, but to what extent are the airlines in airport themselves responsible for the staffing issues they're facing right now and to what extent things are out of their control such as corona. yeah, it's

a bit hard to say because i think it's everybody's fault in some way. i mean, hostage was enough to the see you him admitted to us that basically they on. so didn't expect this maybe misjudged it because it has to bear in mind the 1st quarter. 2022. there was just 30 percent of the pre coven traffic. and right now we're seeing about 80 percent of the traffic being bad peak days, even 100 or above 100 percent, versus 2019, and in germany alone. right now the number of work is missing is about 7200. and you just can't put these people back into work overnight. so it was a missed judgment. of course, the airlines not knowing what would be happening and be very scarce of cash at the time. the government's had to build them out, actually sent these people away in with severe ins, fees led to kind of get rid of them easily. and now that's really kind of hitting them from the back side. all right, that's journalist underestimate is

a long time reporter on the aviation industry. andreas, thank you. thanks very much. on employment in the euro zone remains study in may at 6.6 percent in germany. meanwhile, there was a visible optic in its latest jobless figures due to ukrainian refugees. many of them are registering as job seekers pushing germany's unemployment rate up by less than half a percentage point to 5.3 percent and june. the countries federal labor office said the number of unemployed increase in the month by 133000. the job market is across the you look quite different in croatia. there's an especially strong need for workers at the moment. that's why the arrival of ukrainians has been welcomed. summer the sun and the scene here on the coast of history in croatia. the hospitality industry expect so record season this year. oh, lena collier cova fled the war in ukraine. now she already has

work as a waitress here. i guess bob rush people they ought to climb. they understand the situation binnacle nice on that to me, out from ukraine, even they help us even they see that i some seen her from god. arlena has been working here for a month, and she's already learned some correlation to very important for all of us who are from ukraine because to week, if have an opportunity to walk into the money. and we are in, in a pace who plays the hotel as welcome to ukrainian workers for years. it's been struggling to find staff situation has dramatically changed. so i mean is changing rapidly, especially now industry. the few reasons for that. for some people from croatia, no doubt to germany, to ireland. ah,

some people are definitely changed their compassion. santa was forced to leave ukraine because of the war. she was the 1st to be housed here and carnita and helps other ukrainians look for work with a lot of people agreed do ever seem because don't want stay in their whole douglas and in general hospital and of course need to do something. meanwhile, sonia has been fired as a refugee coordinator by the local authorities. senior doesn't plan on staying here . she wants to return to her family and ukraine. so croatia might have to find other solutions to fill. it's skilled worker shortage. over to southeast asia now ferdinand marcus junior has taken office as president of the philippines, marking a return of the country's most infamous family. to its highest office. marco said

in his inaugural dress that he wanted to talk about the future. not the past for the country's economy, that means recovery from the pandemic. in the battle against inflation, his father turned the philippines into a dictatorship, where thousands were killed and tortured for opposing the government. billions disappeared from the state coffers. now federal and marco's junior, who's known as bung bung, has brought the controversial dynasty back into the highest office. max out the 64 year old who was elected president in may, will now be inaugurated when it was a clear victory with 58 percent of the vote. even though some accuse him of electoral fraud. thanks to a massive social media campaign, he succeeded in casting his father's era in a positive light. among many voters, especially very young ones. he's promised growth and prosperity. marco says inheriting a growing economy, the government expected to expand to 79 percent this year. but why the country may

be emerging from the downturn caused by the covered 19 pandemic, filipinos are struggling amid rampant inflation. much like elsewhere, rising prices and energy shortages are wreaking havoc by cali, janelle milan was in manila for the those elections. she now joins me in studio. janelle welcome, michael's push them populace issues during this campaign including talking about slashing the price of rice at the same time, we've seen that with some of his appoint. she's, they've been talking more about paying down dead a continuing the grows, that doesn't sound very populous, which we make it us. 7 well, his appointees have largely been technocrats that have experience in previous administration, so not just the therapist, but aquinos are before that they're there and they've been credited with economic growth, strengthening policies. as for the 3rd themself, the gains and reforms that we saw during his administration or thought having a product of him hiring experts and then largely keeping his hands off the details

. and then we got to marcus himself. now you mentioned that thing he said about lowering the price of rice, he has since walked back those comments. he said that's an aspiration. so that's not something that you and i can understand as it all over there was problematic from the beginning, especially for, for never going to work. but you know what, he's now made himself the secretary of agriculture. he has to put his money where his mouth is. he says he wants to set the philippines on a path to self sufficiency. how he's going to do that. we don't know exactly. he hasn't laid out concrete policy proposals. and that's going to be really important because of the stakes are high. as you said, inflation is high, the pesa was down for a country that is a net importer. a low currency means that so many more things are unaffordable for ordinary filipinos. he talked about paying down debt. well, that leaves are less wiggle room and it comes to providing financial assistance to the neediest of filipinos. so we don't know whether marcos is the right man or to shop or the philippines throughout its economic recovery. but the needs remain urgent regardless of whether or not he's up to the job. you mentioned his

predecessor deterred to how much does his legacy hang over over marco's, when talking about his policies or about his rights abuses? well that are the signature policy may be, let's start with that is called build, build build. so he wanted to usher in the golden age of infrastructure. we did not quite get that as we know, infrastructure is very hard to build. so among the $119.00 projects he had planned only about 18 are considered a done or near done. but marcus is, are, is looking to continue these, this policy, it's very popular. he partly ran on a continued e candidate platform in terms of china. his thought to what he's probably going to continue trying to woo chinese investment, but probably with more of an eye towards balancing what have become very unpopular protein of policies with the desire for more chinese money. but you've already started the therapist, legacy is complicated. you know, human rights rule of law, these are the kinds of things that make investors nervous, make it look like the philippines is unstable and run by an erotic leader. so

marcus has the opportunity to prove that he's not just an extension of the death there or in his extension of his upto craddick and corrupt father. but he's not given a sign that that's what he wants to achieve. what are the business community? how do they look at this marco's is going to empower the next 6 years where the expect, well, in the run up to the election, a lot of is a theaters and economists actually supported lenny robledo. so marcus junior's nearest rival at the time. but if you look at how marcus got elected here, he got the countries richest and most powerful families to rally behind them. it's under covered. but marcus junior is beloved of billionaires. when he, when he won the election, he threw a victory party with ty coons around him in a luxury hotel. and it's uncomfortable when you think of his father's time in the era of cronyism that, that harold did. so, you know, our business leader is looking forward to marcus. i guess it depends on how close they are to him. but i am prepared to concede that is a distressful reading of these affairs maroon my college. no. do alone on the

integration of ferdinand marco's junior, that's ever our show. you can find out more about these and other business stories online. you to be dot com slash business check out. are you to channels? well, under the d w news channel, i'm seeing news, a hint here in berlin, janelle, do alone. my colleague, thanks for watching. ah ah ah, with
