he can also watch this program. i'm, i'm sorry. is this news if i call chris kolber is after a very short break to stay with us if he can to that, i'm sorry, kelly and berlin and for watching. ah. people in trucks injured when trying to flee the city center more and more refugees are being turned away at the border. families play on the tags in syria to these critical illness with people lean extreme drought

ross getting 200 people around the world. more than 300000000 people are seeking refuge. ask why? because no one should have to flee. make up your own mind. d. w, made for mines. ah, ah, a new 1st for india as a title. the conglomerate which makes everything from salt a seal, was to start producing semiconductors and india within the next 5 years. our daily correspondence has more on the multi $1000000000.00 plants. also coming up, we'll show you how india massive institute infrastructure investment plants are

likely to impact the countries marine ecosystems. and germany is lagging behind when it comes to digitalization. we'll get an expert view on the government's most recent plans to change them. i'm chris global. welcome to the program. india starts to flex its muscles in the global semiconductor markets in the us, tata group will begin producing semiconductors in the country within a few years. a move that the chairman of the groups main company said will make the south asian country a key part of global chip supply chains, top a son's chairman, mother raj on shandra, a car, and revealed that the conglomerate plans to launch new businesses and emerging feels such as electric vehicles, let's get more this sir. from the w correspondent, charo car to k and deli charo, taught to producing semiconductors in a couple of years is not going to solve the shortage now. so what is their

motivation to get into chip making? well, chris, at the top, there have been rumors about this for over a year. so the toddlers of essentially only confirmed rumors that that answers the now part. the motivation is primarily to get into this race to develop india as a semiconductor hub of the future. now the federal government came up with a mission on this according to which a company that would be setting up businesses will be receiving some subsidies and benefits from the government. so at least a half a dozen companies across the country, they've already expressed interest in setting up the units into this business. but the totals are definitely the biggest off of them all. so they're going to most likely have an advantage. so you say rumors have been there for quite a while. how far along is this plan? well, chris, 1st of all, the data set up a brand new electronics company for the day 2020. this pointed a, c,

e o in 2021. and it's only now that they've gone public with their plans. so initially as of now, they are planning only to get into the assembly and the packaging part, which is the downstream part of the business. really, the upstream part is actually manufacturing of semiconductors which, which is quite a gigantic uphill task and that will require brand new technology as well as partners to get into this, which is why it will take some time. and which is why the plan to begin from the downstream part of the business they've decided to put in $90000000000.00, and they're gonna do it over the next 5 years. and you mentioned it, i mean, this can turn out to be quite a difficult operation. what are the pitfalls that you're seeing? well chris, i think the only pitfall that i can imagine is that this is of an absolutely greenfield project. in fact, the industry itself is, is greenfield data. we'll have to begin from scratch. so that's, that's a bit fall,

but that's a pitfall that is most likely to be faced by smaller companies that taught us, as we know, they are in the us largest conglomerate, the popularly known as the salt, to steal co run late because everything that you can imagine under the sun that does make it from salt to retail, to aviation, to hospitality, to steal, to a software, anything you name it under the sun and the daughters are doing it. so if, if there's anyone who is well placed do take on this challenge and or us do it successfully. it is the daughters chris did abuse charo carter gay and deli. toro, thank you and staying with investments in india over the next 25 years, the country wants to put 1.4 trillion dollars into infrastructure projects. that means no shortage of work for the santa divers mom bye. and have more damage to merge in the us marine ecosystems. it's just before midday, when

a small fishing boat approaches the shore near mom by but the men on board, on making a living from fishing as their fathers and grandfathers did. they mustard, they have been pulling fun out of the sea bucket full of the bucketful among them as jerome channel, you can dive up to depth of 12 meters. when he started 20 years ago, he was just the person who hold the bucket on board. but then he started diving the spending of the firewall was in the water doing dive after done mil protective equipment and no oxygen tank. it's dangerous work solid and on the day i go into the water with the pipe in one hand and the bucket in the other. we hold the pipe with our legs and used a bucket to dig outside. i thought of ivy. i tell you this coastal region has a decades long tradition, not pulling sand out of the sea,

but using construction. the problem now is the scale. several 1000 people are living in by mining the sea for san. meanwhile, the demand for sand is growing as a raw material for the construction industry. since 1990 mumbling population has more than double to almost 21000000 people in 10 years. that number is expected to grow by another 5. and an my growth needs to send in the waters all at on mambo sand. mining is prohibited but illegal. st. money is a craving business. what billions rivers does, doesn't cost lines are being destroyed in the search of sun and good them, the habitats of plants and animals, as well as natural flag barriers at the indian institute of technology. bumper researches are looking for alternatives materials for the construction, industrial, sham or so lick has been looking for

a sand substitute for years. he and had the students had finally found one in decades old garbage just like so. the solid waste can be used in a multitude of different ways on building sites so they can be very quickly anywhere between 90 and 95 percent. my bill can be put in dollars several recycle and then can were dead. and if i wished into various other construction, my deal and substitute, which can go again back into the construction industry. it will take time on the rest, can replace sanders of all my tv and pursuing on vice sand divers to give up their jobs will be no easy task. a diarist made a 1000 groupies around 12 euros a day, a bucket bull again and 400 rupees, much needed income for several 1000 families. and that to some of the other global business stories making news. microsoft plans to purchase video game company

activision blizzard for $69000000000.00 may be on indefinite hold. as the u. s. federal trade commission says to block you as of your can regulators have voice fears of competition, including games being exclusive to microsoft's expert, munich based startup. so no motors says it's solar powered car. cy, on may soon drive into the sunset. the company missed its latest fundraising targets and said it will and efforts to reduce the science if by the end of january, there's no new cash. so motors lost 104000000 euros this year. francis economy is set to end the year on a positive note growing 110th of a percent of the 4th quarter. according to the country central bank. it's monthly survey reported, and improving business outlook with supply chain tensions and labor supply problems both easy. now germany is europe's economic powerhouse known for engineering and auto industry. but in digitalization,

germany lacks behind comparable e economies. the european commission ranks, finland, denmark, and then a lens, top 3 in digital competence. germany is far behind in 13th place, only slightly above the e u. average europe, largest economy scores badly due in large part to its public agencies which rely heavily to this day on paperwork. a big chunk of the country's bureaucracy is not digitalized and germany also lex skilled tech workers, and estimated 140000 i. t job vacancies. still need to be filled. that's according to german i t association midcom. now those are among the issues that will come up today when the german government is holding another digitalization summit. that's get the view of carla hosted on this. she, the director of the center for digital society at the mercator foundation. what come to w, carla?

it feels like these events have been happening on an annual basis and still germany is lagging behind when it comes to digitalization. so what has come of these meetings? so far, to be honest, i was there yesterday and again we heard a lot of great, great ideas, great commitments that was made in the car. listen to me. but when you look at germany's digitization politics over the last couple of years, you're just seeing that digitalization, the digital transformation just hasn't been a priority. and that we somehow haven't been able to move from these promises to actual implementation. and i think one reason is because in germany, when we think about the digital transformation, it's often still thought off as making analog process is digital. and we don't think of it enough as a true administrative transformation and something that requires entirely new processes and new ways of thinking, for example, of how public sector,

how governance works. so what then needs to be done to accelerate this whole process. i mean, a change of mindset i would assume yeah, definitely. i mean, you mentioned before did, there's a couple of countries in the u that away ahead when their digital journey ahead of germany. and i think there's a lot to learn from them. countries like denmark, finland, estonia, actually or even looking more international lead taiwan to take is tony as an example, which has been a real digital success story. something they did was they chosen approach. they called digital 1st where they didn't just take and a lot processes and made them digital. but we really saw through administrative reform rather than just adding it to layer. and this is yet the opposite of how we do it in germany right now. taiwan is another digital champion, 2 things over there, go hand in hand. one for sure is pass and easy internet access. and the other one

that is really interesting is that they really saw the digital transformation as an opportunity for democracy. so including citizens using this as an opportunity for participation and accountability. carla, a lot of for a beetle in germany are concerned, and when it comes to data protection, is that an obstacle here? briefly if you could it would be so easy if we could just claim data protection. i think for sure, we need to think about a new governance model for using data. we think that this became very apparent in the koran pandemic, but many times that protection was also used as a simply because we're lacking the true culture. we're lacking investments, we're lacking research that the process oriented. and i believe that there are cases where we need to balance the values, such as the protection of health care and protection of privacy and individual sovereignty over the use of data. in many ways and other countries have shown that

this possible, right? we can actually combine the 2 and there's very little academic evidence that data protection is actually a burden. for example. there's actually show how it can boost innovation and can create new opportunities, color of the market or foundation. thank you for your thoughts. and he's a quick reminder of our top says the story at the sour india's topic ro will begin producing semiconductors in the country within a few years. it's a move that the chairman of the groups main company said will make the south asian country a key part of global supply chains. that's our show. thanks so much. they breathe with body and soul. the houses that daniel rebus can construct are more than just building

you have to be radical. that's a radical mean. go back to the roof. use the son of jewish holocaust survivors. how lucky that i was able to build to just present berlin is architecture, is a celebration of democracy and i won't building. the biggest thing in the world is the spirit of an architect of emotions. this kid starts december 25th on d w but ha ha, well, come to r d w. and have you unplugged thought ambassador of the state of israel and germany for bella. thank you, miss the ambassador. your father ordered his pasco, i was born here in berlin where we're sitting right now in the city. he and his.
