of inequality ah 75 years ago mahatma gandhi peacefully led the country to independence. what has remained of his vision? where does the world so called the largest democracy stand? where is india headed in? this is the moment to unleash on violet bias. gandhi's legacy starts august 6th on b, w. ah, ah, finally a glimmer of hope. ukraine and russia have managed to meet and agree on something. moscow, evasion of one of the globe's biggest grain exporters,

has block supplies to the rest of the world. a hunger crisis is looming in many parts, but now the 1st ships are set to sail. welcome to d w. 's weekly business show made. i'm ben, and these are the other stories we'll be looking at today. how a gas stoppage could slow down the renewable sector. a german firm suddenly pulling out of china and breathing air back into an aircraft cemetery. the war in ukraine isn't over yet, but this one breakthrough is a major relief for the rest of the world. at least, officials from the united nations, ukraine, russia and turkey agreeing. there'd be no attacks on merchant ships carrying long awaited grain supplies, moving through the black sea to turkeys both for straight and onto market. it's also good news for all the different players in the sector revenues having all but dried up because of moscow c blockade of ukraine, and not forgetting the waters along the coastline, which keith has heavily mind farmers,

warehouse operators and shipping companies. until now, the only way to get all that wheat, corn, and sunflower oil to the regions that needed most parts of africa and asia has been over long and arduous lad routes. oh, tons of grain or stuck here at the polish ukrainian border. but at least the transport company was able to build this temporary loading station in just 6 days. with this machine, they can transfer grain from rail cars to trucks. still, this is little comfort for europe, africa, and asia, whether ukrainian wheat is desperately needed and slow to arrive close to a war zone line. this polish logistics contractor has an uneasy feeling. he's wary of the russian military. them of them said i, i know the russian missiles can reach us here very quickly, but i believe that nato will protect us what ukrainian farmer, grigori, pena's,

the grain is moving much too slowly. his warehouse should have been emptied long ago before the war. he shipped everything through the country's black c port, but they have been blocked for weeks and rail transport to poland is stagnant. he constantly measures the moisture in the grain because if it sits for too long, it can quickly mould little slow to show. so little with little have 6000 tons of grain stored here. if sort of waterfall loves, what should we do with the wheat when the new harvest begins? with no auto, we are worried that a lot of grain could be left in the field with a thought leticia mosley should certainly kick his alarm poignant. ah, in order to make room in his warehouse for the next harvest, the farmer used the trucking company to take his grain to poland, but the driver was on the road for 14 days, and the transport was extremely expensive. this is what it

looks like at the pool as ukrainian border. long traffic jams in both directions hinder the fast transport of goods by truck. it takes a long time and is expensive. pick, wait times of 7 days are not uncommon. say truck drivers come little, don't let it. so it's just chaos. where does it take so long? because of all the papers that have to be presented when crossing the board and ira salvo veterinarian certificate. so proof that products are organic, lost on yo yo assembly to few checkpoint lines because so we always have this problem. we've been waiting here for 2 days and that's nothing clinic i at the buck for larger quantities of grain, the only realistic option seems to be rail transportation. still one problem has

yet to be solved. ukrainian trains run on wide gauge, rails, poland, and the rest of the e. u. used narrow gauge rails, so the grain has to be unloaded from ukrainian rail cars and reloaded on to polish trains at the border. it's a complicated and time consuming process. the systems are outdated and not designed for such quantities. in the meantime, freight space is being auctioned off to the highest bidder, which just adds to the prices. besides the valuable weed needed to make bread in africa, large amounts of corn rate seed and soybean meal for the production of animal feed in the e u r. being sent by train. the manager of this terminal would like things to move faster than rapidly eminence. stop. oh, we work here. 24 hours nonstop yesterday. however,

there aren't enough rail cars and there isn't enough manpower to reload more goods from ukraine and olden us. if she has dallas' crane, but in order to get even more grain out of ukraine polish state, railways are trying out containers which are not actually intended for green transport. if this works, another problem still remains. the long distance is 2 other european ports are extremely expensive. one to dust the door and that means that in the end, i craning farmers hardly benefit from the high prices paid on the world market at comp of it yet to earn money. farmers need access to the ukranian black see ports and the world needs access to ukrainian. we'd being in the middle of a heap wife here in europe. it's hard to think that it won't be long before

temperatures plunge again and will be sitting around in our apartments, hoping the guess is flowing again at full capacity to keep our homes warm and toasty. because not only has europe been worried about the grain blockade, gas cuts from russia also have the continent on edge. germany is heavily relied on supplies, despite the gradual switch to renewables, which it's trying to speed up. the thing is that the transition to green a power is only possible with a whole lot of gas. ah, this furnace is heated to 1200 degrees celsius. steal ne, curtis and croup runs 50 of these ovens at its pound endorsement. so the company needs gas and lots of it. if you see each is equivalent to that of $6000.00 households until now that was no problem. but the ukraine war in its repercussions could change all that plant manager thomas high. it's worried that

the gas might soon stop flowing. we all know that he's got a full that would be a disaster. the product that we make might be unique, but we depend on being able to produce it in sufficient quantities. if we can't do that, we have a problem and that in turn would be a problem for to some clips. customers. few companies worldwide are able to purchase steel rings with a diameter of more than 8 meters. the ex ex l rings urgently needed. one area of application is wind turbines, where they serve as slewing bearings. the plant endorsement turns out about $15000.00 of these rings each month. all over germany, efforts are underway to cut gas usage, but to some crop says it has no more room to maneuver. by him and i get those on i

because i energy is a huge cost factor for us. we've always thought to reduce our usage to the minimum and why don't minimum so that would be on the right. so the options for making major savings just don't exist in the next us then on our own, nothing. the only way for us to cut our usage would be to cease production. young. the companies feature is at stake. the entire plant is intersected by yellow gas pipes. could it soon be reduced to an industrial rubin? right now, the steel giant is still receiving gas at the old lower prices guaranteed under long term contracts. but that could change ben to sing crook could no longer afford to buy gas insufficient quantities. the momento got up. why? if there's a gas shortage,

we assume that our current contract will become invalid. galvan griffin. if i remember that means we would then have to suddenly start buying gas on the spot market. what mark regard and if we could even get it turned out and then the question would be, what would the price be making by the spot market is where commodities are traded. friend media delivery at current prices. those prices are already high. now. i could reach 7 times what toussant crypt normally pays under its contract, a deal breaker for the company, which will be forced to shut down many of its ovens. the pressure is increasing. tis and croppers played out a number of different crises scenarios. if the entire conglomerate is forced to work with half its current gas levels, it could continue in emergency operation. but less than half would mean tustin krupp would have to shut off its furnaces and cease production.

now, what about this combo cheap energy for russia? and huge new, lucrative markets in china. that's been a real winner of a business model for export champion germany. now europe's largest economy is winning itself off russia. but what about china? it's put the blame for this war, not just on russia, but on the west as well. and there are a few other developments that have observed white, beijing's massive surveillance state. it's poor, human rights record and threats to invade taiwan. german companies still want to do business with these guys. the world's most populous nation is germany's most important trading part of last year, driven firms export of goods, both over a 100000000000 euros to china. chinese in ports to germany, were worth even more a 142000000000. as one german business executive ones told me, they saw the one china for i brought something with me. mr.

gunter. it's a brand new. a survey over european chem of commerce in beijing. did you already read it? yes, yes i i, i gave it to read earlier this week, but in the past i used to write these when i was working for the european schafer. so when more of it, um, so from last year and then all the way back to, to thousands. 18 was the 1st year that i wrote one this year survey revealed a dramatic change and business confidence. when asked if they were considering shifting current or planned investments in china to other market, just 11 percent of european companies said yes in 2021. but in april 2022 over twice as many said, the same my own interpretation of that i'm considering my experience on the ground and china in the past, including during the pandemic. i'm is,

it's less about taking current assets and investment that they have in china and moving it out. it's more about not putting more into china. and instead taking that what they would have put in china, you know, maybe 6 months ago they were planning to do it and said putting it in somewhere like, se, asia or, or parts of africa, parts of um, south america. i heard that there is the increasing difficulty to bring your routine talent to china. why? i mean it's, it's entirely because of coven. um, but maybe not entirely because of what i'd say. it's about 80 percent because of coke. i'm in a, china's maintained the 0 coven policy. um and it's effectively have closed borders . i'm. it's been very, very difficult to get back. i myself got back just in time before they closed the border in march 2020. so they take this very seriously and they continue to do so. in the spring of 2022 china 0. cobit strategy was put to the chest in shanghai. for

over 2 months, poll neighborhoods were completely court and doth. millions of people weren't allowed to leave their homes and had to be supplied with food but time and again, there were reports of people not having enough to eat such harsh locked downs continue to take place in other chinese cities. but at the same time they, i refused to use the am hour ne, back themes and that sound for me like an endless loop. yes, it could. last years. i don't think anyone in china except maybe shooting thing, has a clear idea about when the pandemic wills the pandemic will ends. what is certain is that the mood of european firms in china is bad. 60 percent of those surveyed said, doing business there is getting harder when asked for the reasons. the biggest problem named by far was beijing 0. coven strategy. fear of military conflicts was barely mentioned. yet beijing is flexing its military muscles in the south

pacific and continues to threaten to invade taiwan. could a situation like the current russia, ukraine war beyond the horizon here? russia is not china and china is not russia. and ukraine and taiwan are not the same either. russia exports commodities and weapons, that's about it. china exports everything, and it imports everything. so the, the, the mutually assured destruction of the global economy if china goes for taiwan is almost guaranteed. the question is, at some point, will beijing decide it's worth pulling that trigger or not? i put the odds quite low myself. do you think there's still a chance for you going back to china? well, there's certainly no chance at the moment, not only because of the coven restrictions, but merricks is sanctioned by our friends of the embassy. so officially, now there's, there's no chance, but i mean, hopefully that's scary. i mean,

they can do what they want. yeah, yeah, it's scary and it would be a lot scary. firestone, china oh, fragile geo politics. energy insecurity, inflation and the current buyers crisis, which is still with us. it sounds like the perfect storm and it sounds like all the ingredients for a serious economic crisis. germany's economy minister hope at heart beck has warned of a world wide web session. what would that mean? and our reflections really such a bad thing can recession be a cleansing storm economist the warning of a big crash? they say the world could be facing a deep recession. a recession occurs when for 2 consecutive quarters, the economy shrinks or fails to grow compared to the previous year. the immediate

consequences can be dramatic. firms go bankrupt, people lose their jobs, and many can be pushed into poverty. triggers for recession are plentiful right now . wall and energy crisis, supply chain issues, inflation on the pandemic. i've thrown a wrench in the works of the world economy. so what can be done about it? people are calling on governments to save companies, secure jobs, and provide subsidies. but it's not really a good idea. not in all cases, firms that were verging on bankruptcy before the crisis would be kept alive, artificially like the living dead. these don't be companies usually have no future and keeping them alive just hinders the recovery process. lance, because they hold on to creative workers who would otherwise find new jobs at

innovative firms and contribute to their growth and success. so painful as it may being. in some cases it's better for the economy to let zombie companies simply go bust. economists, joseph eloise, from peter caught this creative destruction he believed products and processes are constantly being destroyed and replaced through innovation. and that it's the only way out of a crisis. so according to him, recession is not a problem, but a storm, the clean, the air. it's a normal part of the business cycle and shows that the market economy is working because recession is followed by an economic up turn. so just because economists warn that a recession is coming, that's not necessarily caused for panic. ok, now have you ever asked yourself where passenger jets and aircraft carriers go when they've reached that used by date? the spanish town of town?

where is the last stop for many ad has become the resting place for endless rows of multiple day plants. now, germany's largest dateline is gradually waking them from their slumber. oh, they appear like a mirage between meadows and farmland, aeroplanes in abundance. since the start of the pandemic, ted well in the spanish region of aragon has morphed into europe's largest aircraft storage home. air france, british airways and airlines from around the world have more than a 100 aircrafts stored here. one 3rd or from lufthansa. when kofi grounded plains across europe, many were brought here to be stored. stefan chris and mathias host have come from germany to collect an air bus and take it back to frankfort. passenger bookings have sort in recent weeks and the plane is needed again. does it's utilize in

coming here? it really feels like museums them through every thing. that breeze life into an airport is no longer here. swanson lies incredibly quiet. this is because no movement, no vehicles figured out, it's quite an airy atmosphere. i got your small hop, thomas county. i wasn't among the pilots that brought planes here and i just heard about it from colleagues and saw picture one or 2. it seemed like a graveyard bring the food, so i thought the plains would probably be left here that much. but now here we are taking them back yet, and that's a great feeling little food towards the work on does as i've often gone schools articles for food, the to live tons of pilots arrived at valencia airport the day before. from here it's almost a 2 hour drive to to well, after 2 years of bad news, captain stefan vis says many in the aviation industry are once again looking to the future with a sense of optimism. the, as i've said, i got

a little plug her. we just flew here is passengers from frankfurt to valencia that our school the flight was fully booked out of it? i think everyone's sense is that people are keen to travel again, and many of us thought business class would never be full again, none of them. but i think we've all seen that teams zoom or skype meetings can only replace business trips to a point of that. you can feel that everywhere. buses who was good for the town of terra well with its population of 36000. the airplane storage hub has been good news. 130 people are employed by the operating company, tarmac, aero save, which is partly owned by airbus their jobs are considered safe, and more people are needed. most of the aircraft park here require weekly maintenance to ensure that the engines and wheels remain in working order.

even once the pandemic is over, plenty of work is likely to remain over the next 20 years. $15000.00 planes will be taken out of service either because they're too old or no longer profitable. the complex is more than 3 square kilometers in size, but it's not big enough anymore. new hangers are now being built right next door. plant director pedro sires says the solution here is much better than in the u. s. we are outdated aircraft are often just dumped in the desert and left to right. you have to take into account that even in the recycling process, we recover in more than 94 percent of the weight of the aircraft is starting with what we call in the beginning. the harvest least that the say what is remove the high value components that the are very interesting for the owner just to be use as, as per or for what out. but there are recycling coming back to the i don't know

because i activity showed these harvest least eastern, in average, around 150002000 parts that i've removed the airbus a 340 that pilot stefan this and mathias host are to collect from terror. well, is already waiting for them inside the aircraft, jorge, valero, and his team are conducting final checks 10 mechanics step spend several days getting the engines, landing gear, and electronics ready for take off. after 18 months on the ground. they too are optimistic about the future companies that will help us and get the ball out on the wall and start to fly again on its lot of your bud, steve friends, 2 years ago because fully there early, the lead smell a smiling day in the face of the people. finally, it's time for the pilots to go on board. the preparations for their flight are much more intensive then for a normal takeoff. ted,

a well is not an active airport. there are no air traffic controllers, no electronic control system. the pilots will need to use maps to navigate and are largely left to their own devices in handling the airliner. your home kind of focuses on what there's no control tower that we can talk to. we have a so called uni come frequency, which allows all aircraft in the area to communicate with each other and again. so we'll let them know what we're doing when we take off flying by side and dawn loftus to your house. we have no slightly path prescribed by air traffic controllers. google just had north and follow the freeway toward saragossa, auto body, and route what contact the next control tower that guide us into the upper airspace and. and from there it will be like any other flight and would have looked i'm gonna also invite you to get us fungus can. but just before take off, they get some bad news. and airport vehicle ram the right wing. one of its landing flaps now has

a gaping hole in the cladding. so will the long plans fly back to frankfurt have to be cancelled the pilots and photos to lufthansa engineering team in frankfort. and then wait for their assessment and a decision on whether the flight can go ahead. but we've lost moves. we asked if we can fly with this kind of damage and they said, yes, it's fine, it's the mechanics haven't been damaged. it's just the aerodynamic, cladding, light on that will now be removed, but fruits would us, it would not make us the earth dynamics will suffer a bit less and will have more wind resistance or will need 3 per cent more fuel coming in. but otherwise, we can bring the plane back to frankfurt, no problem for middle school. so it gets a little blaming off on football, fuel 2 and a half hours later, the damage cladding has been removed. the airbus a $340.00 is cleared for take off once in frankfurt,

the aircraft will spend 2 weeks undergoing a thorough service and overhaul before once again flying passengers to the americas africa, asia, and beyond. thanks for joining us for another addition of made, i'm benefits all in. see you again, sue with ah, with
