europe. over coming up from the crap. keep to the guys as air travel demand surgery . post pandemic, the a 3 ac passenger. jess is staging a nature to come back. this is d w business. i'm kate ferguson. thanks for joining me here in europe to allegations of bribery and corruption within the highest at chill on of low making have sent shock waves across the continent. the rest of eva kailey as senior vice president of the european parliament on suspicion of accepting money and exchange for giving cat tar good publicity has raised questions by just how much influence the gulf states may wields on the continent. it has also shauna lies on the countries business tides with europe. so let's take a look then at that relationship last year, had tars exports to the e. u amended to almost 7000000000 euros. the vast majority of that, on surprisingly, was gas going the other way, the e,

you sold goods worth around 8500000000 euros to katara the main exports. there were machines, turbines and electronic equipment. guitar has also been investing heavily in a range of european businesses. the country holds a quarter of british carrier. i a g. it has a 17 percent stake in derminger volkswagen. and it's also a major shareholder in swith mining dined, glen core, and spanish energy conglomerate. ebert, rolla, those investments suggesting the country is setting at 5 on a future with less of alliance on the gas. for more on this, we can speak now to andre evolve. he's a researcher at the center for european policy, a think tank. hi andre. lovely to see, you know, you have conducted extensive research on could tara's business ties with europe based on what you have find. how big an influence do you think could tar wields on the continent?

what you can certainly say stud katasha economic engage even europe is very comprehensive and wide spread among countries and sectors. they're not just investing in finance or certain high tech sectors. and they also invest in soft sectors like fashion and spools. and in many cases, they can their investments reach a critical level that allows them to exert a strategic influence on certain key players and sectors. and at the same time, of course, there's also their role as the 2nd largest supply of alan gee, which will remain the bridge technology for europe in it's a quest for achieving its energy transformation. so relation to their sites, they influence is quite remarkable. even though it does not reach the level of criticality we see, for instance, in case of china, exactly, just of these, like a tar is a really small country. it's very which of course. but why think it, if so, interest in booth thing. if it's image in europe, what exactly doesn't want?

i see 2 main interests of cotton europe. first, i think they see investment in europe's economy as a means to hatch against the price risks facing in the energy business. so they use europe as an opportunity to diversified, a foreign resources and foreign revenues, which is essential for the contrary government to maintain the generous support to the local population. while at the same time, they are obviously also the desire to increase their reputation and recognition international arena. suit, engagement, and popular activities like sports for instance, possibly with a long term though, to conclude something like a comprehensive free trade agreement with you. ok, so based on all that, i'd love to end with a personal question. when you hired news of this corruption scandal, what was your got response? were you surprised as the rest of us? why, honestly, i was very surprised because i wouldn't expect them to choose waste that are less risky and less obvious to illegal in increasing the political influence in europe.

especially given the allegation they are re faced in the past surrounding warding of the world cup. i can only imagine gender sort of unrest imperative, the role of from showing mechanisms at a critical populate in the european political system. but of course we need to wait while the through the investigations will tell hoffen icing and stuff. and i bought from the center for european policy. thank you so much. you're welcome. now to some of the other global business stories making news. the founder of collapsed crypt, a currency platform, f t x has been arrested in the bahamas after us. prosecutors filed a criminal charges against him. sam bagman free to faces multiple kinds of fraud conspiracy and money laundering. f t. x is accused of misusing customer friends on faulty accounting. last month it froze, customer accounts and filed for bankruptcy. i don't know of that yet. china has

a number of carriers that have decided to reinstate us after a big rise in demand for travel are reported damaged, well documented one, a 3 eighty's return to the skies. the 1st flight in more than 2 years. the airbus a 380 with call sign mike hilo has from the city of terror. well, and eastern spain toward its new home in frankfort like other airlines. lufthansa originally pulled the a 380 from its fleet just before the pandemic. some of those aircraft, and that are parked in terror. well, essentially moth bawled at the time, there didn't seem to be much of a future for the world's largest airplane. the a 380 consumes vast amounts of kerosene, making it uneconomical when not fully booked. now capacity is exactly what airlines want. with the a 380 holding anywhere from 502850 passengers. it's back off the bench. going for the actually the reason we're reactivating the a 380 is for one

thing. the demand for tickets has suddenly and surprisingly taken off. the other reason is that manufacturers can't just deliver new airplanes on short notice. it's not as simple as boarding and taking off 1st the plains have to be unwrapped and prepared for flight operations. but the exterior as was the interior jose millennia from engineering specialist tarmac, aero save says that 2 years of deep sleep is a challenge for the delicate flight systems. they are removing all the seals when the color of the age is removing the colors on the flag of the height of the landing gears. removing all the seals on the doors. so this takes around 2500 hours for 4 weeks of war and are all 40 people working toward the 4. these are graphs. it falls to these 2 men. rashid lens on mateusz buddha to bring the my kilo home. it's the 1st of an expected for, of the giant aircraft to be brought back into service. an emotional moment for the

pair, both helped retire the legendary aircraft and header well years ago. like you don't feel like a lot of industry the hey mike. hello, it's me again. we need to make them the 2 men say that passengers love this model that the a 38 is receiving. another chance at life is also something special for pilots and cabin cruiser. like they say they are, he had a coach who are bringing it here was an absolutely sad story. i actually had a lump in my throat as we pulled the final airplane into his body. it was almost depressing. really a kind of graveyard field to the whole place today there so much more going on here with the planes are being worked on. we're definitely not the only airline bringing the e 380 back. so there's really a great feeling here. but before the a 380 can began at summer schedule, cockpit crews will have to receive new training. 2 and a half years after the plane saw its wings clipped,

only 12 tons of pilots are still certified to fly it now it's to ice and t. now wherever lance as driver is threatening the livelihoods of farmers and raising concerns that mosse crop failure could add to existing food insecurity, which has emerged as a result of both climate change and supply chain is she, is she to rush for in ukraine? all right, and we seem to be having a little bit of a problem getting that report for you in the meantime. lets see what else we can talk to you about
