1:18 am
focused on energy cooperation. here some of what he had to say be hum, woodson a truly over the course. we also talked about the consequences of the russian actions for energy security in europe, but also in the world it. and that's why it's important that we do now what is necessary for the future. for the 1st of all, we have to ensure that we can do business in a climate neutral manner dealer. we developed our economy in such a way that by the middle of the century, our industry will be c o. 2 neutral you them met on the industry. earlier i spoke to energy analyst, thomas o'donnell, about how much green energy cooperation with canada can help europe out with its current crisis. canada cannot supply any renewable energy that will make any difference in the current confrontation with russia. and they're spending some time going to a small city near the northern coast of canada. i believe in new brunswick to look
1:19 am
at where canada says they will in the future produce hydrogen, green hydrogen. now this is sort of one of those things. it's very important to do when you meet a german of chancellor and especially mister, held back the green, super minister of environment and energy. but really, what thereafter, i think in the media is minerals and we can talk about that we're earths and so forth. and copper, but also l n g. but even then canada can't provide it for some years l n g. i wanted to take that up. so today it was asked when will canada deliver alan ged germany and how much he said he was looking for the business case to do so. what does he mean by that? exactly. ah, that means he's not convinced he should do it. there's something i'll admit, as the expert here, i wrote some articles on germany's real now in g policy about 4 or 5 years ago in
1:20 am
2018. when the previous coalition decided in its initial treaty under merkel, that they would fund and support elegy import terminals in northern germany, which were purely for liquid for transportation, but it never happened. and during that time, one thing they did is they said they were gonna contribute to half a $1000000.00 in canada on the coast for building a facility that would export it l n g. nothing ever happened afterwards. it was, it died in here, there again, bringing it up in canada according to trudeau. seemingly isn't yet committed. so it doesn't sound like you think germany said count on canadian, ellen g, but we're seeing european energy prices spike again this week after this announcement of a 3 day shot down of nord stream, one at the end of the month. how do you rate germany's chances of successfully replacing, shrinking gas supplies quickly it's, it's simply not possible and don't take it on my authority. i listened to mister
1:21 am
mueller, whose head of the network agency for the natural gas infrastructure in germany. he says this will be a crisis of 2 years. if potent cuts off the big pipelines, he said this publicly, he's absolutely right. if he cuts off the big pipelines, stuart a will be filled if he cut it off. now b, if any cut off later storage isn't enough, you can't replace those huge pipeline import. simply was doors after 23 months. there's a debate now, it would run out and this would be a quite a crisis. and there's no reason to believe this won't repeat for 2 years. it will take that long to find other supplies from other countries. thank you very much. energy analysts, thomas o'donnell there. thank you. now we spoke earlier there about the shift towards greener technologies, a transition affecting many sectors, including the auto industry. howdy, austro joins us now with some market news. teddy,
1:22 am
so ford says it's cutting 3000 jobs and it's citing the transition to electric vehicles as a free then, what is the story there? well, janelle, these layoffs are actually in a couple of different countries in india, in canada, and here in the united states, it's most concentrated in the michigan era area where many of these car manufacturers are based. that's 2000 salary positions of 1000 contractor position. so it's quite significant for the company. why is it? well, it's just as you said, it is the shifting of investment, the re prioritization of the electric vehicle manufacturing side of a company. they are trying to compete with tesla with rivers and other e v manufacturers. but this is also part of a, a broader trend in the sector to try to cut down on labor costs. of course, we're seeing billions being invested in the american south shifting facilities, shifting operations down there. because there are lack labor laws and they are able
1:23 am
to hire non union labor and cut down on those costs. now you've mentioned it's industry wide. you've also mentioned tesla. so few weeks ago it had tests also announced its own job cuts that was not particularly well received by investors. what's the reaction been to fort worth this time around? well, investors aren't particularly happy with the board. we are seeing that the stock prices down about 5 percent, but this could be a confluence of factors we saw on wall street today, a decline worse in 2 months. but also it appears that the decline and the stock price was more related to another announcement to the jury. verdict in a lawsuit against the company related to a car crash or to kill to people relating to potentially faulty parts in the vehicle. and now the company has to pay $1700000000.00, so that's certainly scooped investors and other fears across the market plot
1:24 am
thickens. teddy auster there in new york for us. thank you very much. now to some of the other global business stories making news, the euro has dropped below parity with a us dollar to a 20 year low. the decline comes and made rising inflation and fears of a potential energy crisis. as russia cuts supplies of natural gas to the u, that could also lead to a recession in the euro zone. british airways is canceling around 10000 flights this winter. most of the cuts affect short hall routes, but some long haul destinations will also be affect it. it comes after britons largest airport heath bro, imposed a limit of a $100000.00 passengers per day. now there's less than 3 months to go until the football world cup kicks off in katara. it's a tournament that has been dogged by international scrutiny, especially given katara, a record of poor treatment of its workers. labor activist. say the gulf nation has
1:25 am
not done enough to improve conditions for them. now reports have emerged of the government attaining a dozens of workers who are protesting over late pay. a football world cup requires world class facilities. back in 2010 katara was awarded the 2022 men's world cup and said it was ready to put on one of the biggest sporting shows on earth. that's meant a lot of labor to get these new playing facilities up and running. many of these workers are foreign born and have fewer rights than to tories. these workers in doha say they haven't been paid by the privately owned albano, sorry, international group. some for weeks around 60, were arrested for protesting, and advocates say some have already been deported. critics are concerned firstly that we have a system to spot all the talk of reform and cutoff that still punishes workers when they complain about the situation that despite that work is on getting paid and
1:26 am
it's very efficient at punishing them, kicking them out of the country and yet, and when it comes to simply getting these workers tied is very, very slow. the guitar, a government says it's already investigating outstanding payments. some changes have been made in co tory labor laws over the last decade, including a higher minimum wage and an end to a system which said some employees needed their bosses permission to quit. but critics say it may be a ruse. have these reforms really just been a cover for what is the reality that's not meant to be changing? activists are calling on the government to do more, to protect the workers who have built so many of these stadiums. from the pitch up . it's been a year since the communist slide government reversed a ban on private enterprise in cuba. the one strict regime has even started allowing for modest for an investment in small businesses. but entrepreneurs are

1:28 am
private sector a different fighting. they have to be more flexible and they must allow direct foreign trade and any investment amount in any area and what get ideally, that dehydrated advantage company is just one of more than $4500.00 small and medium sized companies. now, legally operating in cuba, they're hoping more reforms will continue to fuel their entrepreneurial spirit. and that's her show for more checkout d, w dot com slash business, and the d. w. news. youtube channel are also on facebook from the end of his team here in berlin. thanks for watching. ah, images that have been etched into memory. an unleashed moment gives free reign to its hatred of everything for the 30th anniversary of the rostock riots and their legacy. how could it come to this the biggest racist attack and
