a monkey business, but the vast amounts of animal waste being reduced in denmark could be key to meeting its future energy needs. and of course, humans produce waste to will be in paris to see how our excess water can be used to keep our homes war. this is data we business on robots in berlin. welcome to the program of a 3 years. the chinese economy has been constrained by beijing's uncompromising approach to the pandemic. but now that approach is easing with local governments being told to soften on many of the measures. dire trade figures published on wednesday only served to confirm the feeling that something had to change. the damage done to china's foreign trade by global and domestic turmoils is coming into view. china's exports and imports were doubt a painful blow last month. chinese exports typically rise ahead of christmas and holiday periods, but surging inflation has pushed consumers and businesses across the globe to slash

their spending instead of reaching deeper into their pockets. in november, china's exports followed by almost 9 percent compared to the same period last year . standing at almost $300000000000.00 is the worst performance since february 2020 . the beginning of coroner wireless pandemic, a pandemic that continues to recover domestically. beijing thrift core with policies which have included city wide locked down to have led to shattered factories. they also severely throttled domestic spending imports in november full of whopping 10.6 percent year on year. beijing now says it's changing course. loosening many of those restrictions. i wasn't i, you have to be honest. i'm quite satisfied with the new policy because it's impossible to kill as far as completely, maybe just live with it and hope it will evolve into the common flu shot. well, i'd have been to hold your product the politburo in beijing want an economic

turnaround. next year, saying they'll use all fiscal and monetary policy tools at their disposal. their decisions will have consequences far beyond the country as borders. a global economy built in large part on chinese export is waiting to see what happens next. what fine are, what impact the shift in policy we'll have for businesses in china? let's hear from beijing based janice fabian freshman, we asked him how much economic considerations played a part beijing's decision to loosen restrictions? officially the m, the propaganda era apparatus saying ok now we discovered that other omicron variant is not as dangerous anymore. that's why we're changing our policy. but i think the timing suggests very clearly that it's the reaction of the public anger that you know, has culminated over those protests. and, and i also actually the economic pressure that is also not a to under estimate because the trait numbers from today,

they're really em disastrous. and i think there was a lot of pressure to change the policy. otherwise it wouldn't have changed it now because we are in the beginning of the winter. and also the chinese new year season is coming soon. that's where millions were hundreds of millions of chinese will travel to their home, towns to areas where the medical system is really very rudimentary. so it is really not an optimal timing to open up cubby and crouch mother now to some of the other global business stories making the news. the us proposed a 9th round of sanctions tied to the war in ukraine targeting almost $200.00 russian individuals and entities connected to the conflict. 3 russian banks are on the list. the sanctions would also add the names of further government ministers, lawmakers and regional governors. for asset freezes and travel back to europe in union has asked the world trade organization to set up panels to here to trade disputes between the block and china. brussels says chinese restrictions on lithuania and legal recourse is for you. patent holders are highly damaging to

european businesses. and major u. s. retailers are wanting that shoplifting is becoming a growing problem. wal mart, target and best buyer. among those who say thefts are soaring, a recent study in the states claims that stolen stock had become a $100000000000.00 problem. let's discuss that one further with our financial correspondent at the new york stock exchange. he ends quarter these shoplifters, yann's, what are we talking about? we talk about individual opportunity opportunists, even or is this is an organized crime thing. well, at the end of the both. but if you look at the target, for example, the management is talking about organized gangs and talking about the target they're saying are claiming that they will lose about 400000000 dollars this year. because of the fact that if you look at the overall number,

that is an increase from last year, i have not seen so many reports this year around about flash mob like last year before the christmas, where dozens of people, what a storm some retail store as doors that ones, but i mean, a 100000000000 dollars. what we're talking here at part of it is definitely organized and a huge problem of all those retailers. meanwhile, have the americans who are intending to pay for their products. we've been hearing the typing that belt this year in the run up to christmas. what have people been saying are up and the majority still does pay for their gifts and what they can't think from the retail stores. but the latest survey that i saw is that about 40 percent off, the people asked them that way, at least planned to spend less if planning and actually doing so will match, remains to be seen. also that service shows that the american in general,

likely will spend about 10 percent less than a last year. so that's at least at least the planning to me. those figures are a little bit of a surprise because when we saw the 1st the figure from, from the thanksgiving weekend, we actually saw an increase of people going out to shop. but also the amount of spending was higher than last year. but now getting a closer into the holiday season, obviously people are feeling the inflation pain and at least plan to spend less what would be a bit of a burden for the us economy overall. okay. and go to new york for us. thank you very much. to europe now, where denmark's farmers are finding a new way to generate income and energy. the waste products created by their farms almost specifically by the animals can be used to create fuel and could

eventually help to free that country of its dependence on energy impulse. it was easy to convince pharma be to hoyt that this business idea made sense. 5 years ago, a bio gas operator asked him if he could imagine selling menu or thanks to the 160 calls in his care, now earns an extra 6000 euros from the menu or a business person go ahead of us. we used to drive them in your far out to the fields to day, the trucks just go to the bio gas plant. so we didn't have to rebuild the system to join in for to say to here. many farmers also signed up to this business idea on the danish island of hunan. they're now supplying bio mass to the plants. the company nature energy is the top dog among denmark, fire gas producers. instead of a bunch of smaller plans, they are going for scale. in germany, we have been based on 9000 local bio gas plants at the

individual farming and in denmark. we've been doing it using the green gus in a huge scale. large scale where the firm like this will support around $20000.00 households, only liquid manure, dung and foot scraps go into the huge tanks. and from this they produce bio me thing, which is then fed directly into danish grid on site. it already accounts for 40 percent of the market. scientists say bio gas is imperative for energy transition. will be based a lot on wind, pearl and solar power renew in for under merc. but what do we do for the electricity system? wind, the wind is not blowing and the sun is shining. the answer is gas turbines. on the green, gus, the bio gas business has another selling point. once the gas is extracted, the brown mass of menu or goes back to the farms to be used as fertilizer, the process makes them in your more nutritious and it's free of carbon dioxide.

lithia only from 2 in the future, our products we measured by their impact on the climate. so it's important we do something good and not just to soothe our conscience towards nature. and the true on maneuver has so much potential as the farmer. in a few years, denmark aims to be completely independent of gas imports, thanks to its bio gas method and from animal waste to, to human waste. specifically, waste water in the french capital paris engineers have found a novel way to harness the warmth of what leaves are bathrooms and use it to heat homes. take a look. can waste water from showers, sinks even toilets heat, a major city in paris? that concept is already reality. a short tour in the city's deepest recesses demonstrates how this is where waste water flows from the above lying apartment

buildings it has a temperature of around 10 degrees celsius. electric generated heat pumps used that warmth, compressing it and transferring it to water that can be used for heating. here you have the whole system over 100 meters. it works because there's a large linear feeding to heat pumps. it's water at 10 degrees with heat that will be recovered to heat 5 public buildings. paris has plenty of waste water. the canals are also large, that provides ample room to work. their close proximity to the buildings above is critical. here. it means that little heat gets wasted in either direction. the city has big plants and said whose him was in albany. this is the 2nd project in paris. it will be an operation from this year. and we currently have 14 others under review. and we may be looking for others we've, if we can imagine 50 or a 100 more implemented in paris in the years to come at

a time of staggering energy costs the opportunity here to good to let go to waste. just hi, for a reminder, the top business story that we're following for you. the south. china is loosening . it's strict covered restrictions and make growing public frustrations. am souring economic numbers. beijing, so exports full by almost 9 percent in november compared to a year earlier in ports dropped. why more than 10 percent as citywide locked downs have helped gut domestic demand? that's over mean the business team hand, but n for more just had the d t o e dot com slash business. so we see you next time the entire digital world depends on then semiconductor the nano technology behind all electronic can't easily don't dominate the market.

now the u. s. wants to reclaim its position as a global competitor. can europe keep made in germany next to the lot d, w. o, one, continent, 700000000 people with their own personal stories, a europe. mm hm. everyday life with what europeans fear and what they hope for focus on 60 minutes on d w ah, a is increasing every year in many im gonna working on lunch with holiday destinations and drowning in plastic white wine
