oh says that dang the disk and constructs for more than just buildings. he is the son of jewish holocaust survivors. working that i was able to build in his architecture is a celebration of democracy and an architect of emotional. daniel starts december 25th on d, w. ah ah, ah, almost 10 months ago, russian president vladimir putin launched a full scale invasion of ukraine since then the russian army has committed war

crimes and attacked civilian infrastructure. the invasion also wrecked ukraine's economy, but ukrainians are not backing down. instead, they're finding new ways to persevere. and today's episode, we will explore how ukraine's tech seen as managing to thrive despite the war. and these are the other topics in today's episode of made d w's business magazine. making the switch can france become a leader in wind energy making a monopoly? are farmers dependent on feed companies and making a statement, why won't guitar appear in any world cup commercials? the warn ukraine has entered a new phase during the past few months. the ukrainian army has re conquered several 1000 square miles of territory after a string of military defeats. russia has now trying to pull the plug on ukraine's electricity supply strikes on the countries. energy grid are meant to leave

millions of people without electricity and heating and freezing winter temperatures . attacks on ukraine's power also pose a big challenge to the country's tech sector. the city of car keith close to the russian border is a hot spot for the growing industry. montague, which in scott went to find out how high tech businesses are succeeding. regardless of natalia said, omaha would normally be in class. he's in east in ukraine. that's where some members of her team of program has, and software developers is still working. but because of the war she's now working in krakow and neighboring poland. before getting down to what she starts every day by checking in on her colleagues, single crane with the all keep doing our best we understand that we have to outperform, to make sure that the are are successful and we are able to support

our country. yeah. yeah. just wanted to show you a one or best friends of these days like, oh my god, i have the same. i don't have electricity right now, but so the generator is working. the star link is working full. so heads chance for all of the guys to go to the office to recharge the mobile devices. so there was almost no log lawson, but there is some problems in key with tracy t and other for example, at my home. but there is no problem in office. so out by the game, stew, or his to keep on today and yesterday also here in the light. here's the coffee. so we keep going and with steel resilience stronger like over ukrainians. who this is ha,

he's shortly after the 1st rush and ass strikes back in march. much of the city is still without power. will phone service, telecom employees now working from a broader doing that best to help people still that are not our main problem at the moment has to do with power outages and a loss of connectivity. we can't always reach our staff. most of our people are working in her keith and we just don't know if they're safe or not to. oh joseph, yes. oh, alice tripped javert, has been back to the city 3 times to help on her 1st visit, she saw what the russian forces had done to her own home. these images were taken in may of this year. at her house, in a suburb of high heave several months later she

returned after the final battles and the withdrawal of the russian forces. all that was left of her home was a burnt out shell. her colleagues now have the tough job of repairing, destroyed internet cables, because there's no power they often have to use battery operated flashlights to do their work. the internet is a link with the outside world. and that's crucial both for hi here. residents and companies still operating from their protective helmets and bullet proof vests are now part of the technician's basic equipment. before the war, ukraine was home to

a thriving i. t sector employing some 250000 people. the sector is still strong, even manage and growth of 23 percent this year despite the war. ukraine's hospitals are among the beneficiaries of the tech sector. we in west and the need a lot in defense of congress, so we beneath harkey, we id be within it more than one young brave enough and will continue to do it. back in krakow, poland software developer, natalia said omaha has found an apartment. her children own school and they're learning polish. and yet they're keenly aware of being refugees. son did not express to lot. oh i so he grew up over night and uh for daughter, it was a big stress. how much of question was, why,

why? what me did wrong, like what i did wrong, why i lost everything. why? i don't how my friends the all come a snail straight. a smell, always having a home with him. when the buck we all are having a small piece or you claim hard queue, like i have been kind of on my back. even though i'm here. i'm still in hercules. phone still in ukraine. winter has arrived in germany. cold temperatures mean that most homes have turned on their heating by now, but the more we heat, the lower germany's gas reserve levels become in the past that was in front of mind for most people. well, that drastically changed when russia stop delivering gas to germany. i visited the

country's deepest gas reserve to understand where our heating will come from this winter. them. germany's gas storage facilities never attracted much attention before. now they're at the center of public debate and for good reason, the countries energy security depends on them this winter. for german businesses like this break factory in bavaria production is dictated by the levels of germany, gas reserves that the major thing are we, we check that almost every day and we're it's, it's how we run our business. you know, we need it without gas. the ovens here stay cold, the gas go through the yellow line right through here, into the oven. and then a it here. inside the brick. you can see the fire it fires the brick. so

the brick burn full reserves, ensure steady brake production, even during the winter months when germany imports less gas than it uses just a few kilometers from the brake factory. and voy, fuss back lies. germany's deepest gas storage facility. it's a porous rock gas storage. and what's above ground is just the tip, the most important part, life 3000 meters below their the gas, the stored and porous rock. that's millions of years old. it soaks up the gas like a sponge impermeable rocks and water around it. act like a natural barrier and prevent leaks. the gas levels are closely monitored at all times. some way to can talk to them today. we're at 99.2 percent. it takes about a $150.00 days to fill or empty the storage facility buffoon. between with leon,

it's not just a long process, it's also a complicated one. and all begins with a big pipe. your comp, this guys, this is where the gas come in during the summer and where it goes out during the winter. swift van dyke in the past is gas. the gas mainly came from russia when, but now i'm in our readings, tell us that the gas isn't coming from russia any more on. it's either coming from norway or from l. n. g in 2000. what we can go to from a lynch, in order to squeeze as much as possible into the storage facility. the gas is compressed. meaning these giant machines crank up the pressure before the gas can be injected into the ground. pressurizing the gas causes a to heat up, so it's cooled before continuing on into the underground reservoir. yuki did or it goes 2900 meters below ground, yet it then after long travel through the pipes,

the gas arrives at its destination. thus, if the gas, this is the gas storage, we find this is the rock that forms the actual roar. it has a lot of internal surface area because it's so porous as a sea of the gas is stored in these pores at high pressure and get his gospel wouldn't. okay. when demand outstrips daily supply gas is withdrawn from the throng, reheated, and d, pressurized them and leaves the facility this way. the voice aspect gas storage could supply up to $300000.00 households with gas for one year. most of the time doing the uneasy question in the back of my mind is what if we have a really cold winter? because if it's really cold, it will have problems and when the reservoir is full, that could see flames go out and factories close. despite germany, state of the art storage facilities,

gas is still an essential source of energy in many european countries. but if the you wants to become climate neutral by 2050, we have to reduce or dependency on fossil fuels. france is one of the countries facing that challenge until now it has relied on nuclear energy, but many of the countries, outdated reactors had to be shut down. now president, my call wants to boost renewables. francis meant to profit from the winds, blowing along at 5000 kilometer coastline. they own energy company. f, normally runs france, nuclear plants, now of supporting offshore wind projects. we had to look at how france shifting gears. mila was having been perspective basket. a recent press trip to this construction site displayed what could be one solution to future energy crises, floating offshore wind energy. the company's developing this pilot project are investing 300000000 euros in 2023. the wind farm will be towed to the site

70 kilometers off the coast. lemme its powers limited equal to just a 40th of a nuclear reactors capacity called but floating offshore wind energy is a bearer of hope. unlike existing renewables, it could produce electricity, 247 them failure on there was no traditional offshore wind farms can only be constructed in washes the up to 50 meters deep. the floating platforms can be installed further away from the coast where the wind is stronger. these wind farms could be th reaching carbon neutrality back up. but frances, taking bids to construct 3 commercial floating offshore wind farms and their 10 times the size of the pilot project. this economist agrees floating offshore wind energy is promising. yet questions and challenges abound. lonia is

up in the of france should try to take the lead in this market. it's lagging behind in terms of bottom fixed offshore wind farms also due to legal challenges if it's a question of not losing face all that's good and evil one, but it's not clear yet which technology will when the day there are several technical solutions in the market and a lot of steel is needed to construct the platforms. we're finding that steel might prove a bottleneck when they viewed in mother. france will have to compete with other countries such as portugal and scotland, which are also eyeing floating offshore wind energy. in any case, the project developers are determined to become an important player in the market. here or broad. apple, they prefer yellow france as well positioned de la la la bidding for commercial projects is underway. we're hoping to be awarded these industrial projects in the mediterranean sea and off brittany hill near seattle. but we're also looking at market, such as the us, china, and tie one that you why?

the global potential for this technology is estimated at $3500.00 gigawatts, which represents as many nuclear reactors. but that won't be any time soon. frances, 1st commercial floating offshore wind farms won't produce electricity until at least 2030. how can we feed the 8000000 people living on this planet for the world's largest agri, business, monsanto? the answer is genetically modified seeds. according to the company lab design crops, and herbicides will protect the world from famine. one of their most controversial products is the weed killer round up for years round up has been the focus of losses because of its potential health risks. but that's not the only issue sowing seeds of doubt about monsanto. for thousands of years,

farmers free bread reserved and sheer seats. but then i could culture radically changed in the 20th century, farmers get new machines, chemicals, and lots me seats. and big companies stepped in. these major players dominate the market to day. one of them had a special role in shaping more than an ugly culture, especially in the us now owned by german was national buyer. monsanto was one of the giants of the business to turn seeds into property and farmers into submissive customers. to understand how they did it, it's important to know the history during the vietnam war, one santa was one of the largest suppliers of the new edge and orange for the u. s . military. 50000000 leaders of this definitely herbicide was prior to fuel trees and tropical foliage that provided cover for the gift fighters. not only do this areas remain contaminated, millions have been poisoned by the chemical. next month hunter turned the attention

to piece time with killing developing the blog buster hammer site roundup. it. hit shells in the 970 s and became the company's key. profit driver ah, run down kills the root kills we'd round up, kills thanks to the main component cliff a said, but it ended up killing so well that it also killed farmers crops. so they could only sprayed before planting seats after the harvest. but what if the receipts that couldn't tolerate round up that home and found who stepped into the sea business? in 1996, they rolled up round up ready div receipts that were genetically modified to be immune to gleeful sate. who wouldn't buy into that? it was like magic, talked to farmers at that number. marco elmore is an environmental historian at the higher state university to spend a decade working on this book about monsanto. weeds almost immediately began

developing resistance around and you kind of have this cycle in this genetically engineered scene system now over using a chemical, which by the way, is very profitable for the company that's selling. and 100 did something else that changed agriculture forever. they patented technology behind the seats. this meant they could dictate the way farmers use them. monsanto created a system that they controlled by 2008 months hunter had bought 50 international seed firms. the market power of mon fonda and similar companies was growing more and more. today. 90 percent of corn, upland cotton employed in from the u. s. a. produce with patent, and seat one find out what the buyer is, the big supplier. the big promise behind genetically engineered crops like those from santo higher yield for farmers. but in 2016, the national academy of sciences published a 600 page dozier on the effects of g cross from the us. find is found little

evidence that such crops actually lead to higher yields. what has been going on is the use of monsanto supposed to child cliff a site to move youth harbor 5 globally. this to maps of the us showed the amount of round up being sprayed on the dark of the colors, the more is being used. meanwhile, what's been going down is the variety of foods on our plates. there are over 50000 edible plans in the world, but we mostly rely on just 15 corn wheat and the rise of the major hits the modern agriculture system created. this is aisha for awful companies owning this. you get to choose what pharma girl and how and that determines what we eat, planting the same varieties also makes crops mobile normal to drop in disease. the climate crisis is only making it worse. it's a different story with traditional see if you want to look for something that rate

hash mighty conditions, especially now that we emphasize the climate change, you can always go back to that i've not been elected. this is the medical den. she's a plan geneticist at the international crops research institute of the sammy area, tropics. the one thing they also do because they, they just absorb all sorts of trade in from anywhere. and so the, every day they're very durable. the more different seats we want, the higher the chances of finding the ones that canada to extreme weather. for example, in just one region and south east india, find his discovered almost 400 varieties of neglected crops species. and one of them were 6 traditional local right, right. has the deal better with drought, salty soil and flooding strength compared to commercial alternatives? luckily, even when traditional seats are gone from the field, they're not always gone. gone. we have them in places like beef,

more than $1700.00 seed banks around the world for the untapped potential of traditional feats. probably the most famous you bank point is the coolest looking one is this one in norway. it stores over a 1000000 cit samples from across the world and the chill permafrost conditions make sure this little fellows are preserved for centuries. the system works like a bank, the deposit their own, assembled the bank. in this case, the government of norway owns the facility. for example, of brazil have thousands of sitting here. some of the seats were rescued only because indigenous communities and traditional farmers kept them. they were, we grow all for has drastically changed. if the large corporations will have benefited at the expense of everyone else, farmers have got hooped on chemicals and last ownership of the seats and consumers, me salt and so many flavors and new trends. so it's time to ask herself how come to grow with better this time to everyone?

this photo garnered a lot of attention during the world cup. germany, soccer players covered their mouths ahead of their 1st game. the pose was a reaction to 1st ban of the one love arm band, a symbol of tolerance and diversity. germany players have faced a lot of criticism since then. some say they're focused on political statements prevented a good performance. and assault to soccer players were struggling. the world cup and guitar has been a difficult balancing act for sponsors as well. ah, legendary play is powerful emotions and good vibes, advertises for the fee for world cup of pulled out all the stops. but in the added ass and nike adds, this is host country might as well be invisible. even the added as team bus isn't headed to cutter, but to a generic destination called world cup. western media have been critical of cutter,

unfair football's world governing body, so advertises a carefully skirting the control overseas. in added us is ad campaign. there's little to suggest where the megger event is actually taking place or is there? i did, i says that it's official world cup match ball is designed to evoke a cutter. the colors and graphic design on a pearly white bass are inspired by cutters, culture and history for pop. so, but the connection is anything but obvious, added us isn't alone. and it's reluctant to reference cutter, the campaigns of other major sponsors, such as nike and coca cola. also avoid mentioning the host country. so why is that? certainly the caught our brand, the country brand is not one that seen is progressive. it's attitude towards human rights. it's attitude towards l g, b t, q, p, all is not seen as in line with most of the west. so as a result,

these global brands are playing at safe, not wanting to necessarily say that they endorse the category value system. but instead that they support the world, ah, but doesn't really have to be this a political, couldn't companies and brands sees this opportunity to stake out their own beliefs and values for diplomacy? which is what these brands are. is that such a thing as not necessarily wanting to get into a deep conflict and to us are cross cultural wars if you'd like, but instead to be more silent. and in doing so, you attract a wider group of customers. in contrast, germans supermarket chain reva chose to take a stand of the fee for threatened to impose sanctions on teams. he was the one love

armand promoting l t. b t q writes rather decided to forego it's advertising, right. so want to germans. think about companies and brands that take a political stand position, who does it look like a stand, but i don't want them to withdraw because of something as trivial as an arm band. so i'm excited with up in addition is of course her. i do think that major brands like added as a nike should take a stand. they have a huge market and should take advantage of that. young people who buy a lot of brand name products or who are influenced by the big brands, will notice where the guitar is depicted with a positive or a negative connotation must be a positive and negative connotative issue them original. they should take a clear stand for human rights to additional companies, all just want to sell their product. so i think it should be up to them by name. you want us, when it comes to diversity and human rights companies don't always practice what

they preach, but avoiding the question altogether is no longer an option hon guide. that's all from this episode of may d, w as business magazine. i. malvina, thanks for watching and take care. ah, ah ah ah ah, ah ah, with
