of organic and fair trade suits. and american air travel gets moving again after coming to a halt. what does this mean for airlines? our wall street correspondence has more. welcome back to berlin for another dw business. i'm christy. plants in german police have begun forcibly clearing the west. german village of lute scott, where protesters are resisting attempts to expand a neighboring leg night coal mine. the government and energy company are to be re, says germany needs the coal to hold off an energy crisis caused by russia's war and ukraine. but a critic say that that would mean kissing germany's climate goals. good bye. ah, for the protesters, the little village of loots of art has become a symbol of the fight against fossil fuels. as they are dispersed around the site, it's hard to verify how many there are perhaps a 1000 to delay the eviction process. they chain themselves to objects, or dangle from ropes between buildings. cool, as i know all is one of the harmful and most expensive energy sources. there is.

it's endlessly harmful to the environment or not. this is a 21st century. we have to fight this silence. yahoo! not again come from islam since last year. nobody lives in the village which used to house around a 100 residence. it's owned by the energy company or w e, which wants to access the coal as soon as possible. berlin says the coal is urgently needed to avoid a black hours after russia cut gas deliveries to europe. germany plans to face out atomic power completely in coming months. well, for more insight on this conflict, i'm joined by energy expert professor claudia comfort of the german institute for economic research. claudia, tell me, does germany really need this coal? i mean, what would happen if they just left it in the ground? or germany does not need, is this a co and what would happen if they leave it on the ground? there would be enough eternity for coal mining roots and options in that region. alpha and gods, viola, where the coldest mind or a dredged and yeah,

it would be enough food to, to secure energy supply. but is it not true that coal would mean greater energy independence for germany? i mean, since they can get it right here in germany in a different way than they could with natural gas, even in a different way than they can with solar since china dominates production there, what do you think? well, i mean, of course we have cold and we will use coal also for energy security right now. also in the next years because of the gas crisis, we will last use gas for electricity production cole. i need more coal during the next years, but of course we will need to increase the share of renewables drastically quite faster, even if we now also look for production of solar in germany. and i should do that as well, but we can make it better. it's important to increase the share of renewables, social. now you're saying germany doesn't need this coal. why is the government so

insistent on going through with this deal, which seems quite unpopular? yeah, i don't understand actually, and we could not really understand either the numbers they have provided in their studies because we did so several studies and others as well and showing that we don't need this call at that a part of a look at where the dredging is of the mining is and we could have usa tentative of cause r w e has an economic interest to do so because it's easier as economically more efficient. but anyhow, it's now here uh for security of the whole society and to find a free a piece also for the whole society. it would have been better to make another deal just the last follow up question. very briefly, police are trying to clear the protesters out right now, would you say this is a done deal, or is there any chance this call will stay in the ground? while there might be a little bit of a chance to take it, it depends on how severe the protests will continue. but ma'am, to bye opinion,

it would be better just to sit down and look for a new compromise because the cold protests, us will continue the next weeks. and this builder, this, this will continue also the whole debate and that's bad for germany. we should find another tentative compromise. that was claudia comfort from the german institute for economic research. thanks so much. thank you. now to some of the other global business stories making news today. investments in german startups almost half in 2022 according to a study by e y venture capital companies invested 9900000000 euros. the consultancy firm says that due to the global economic slowdown and the war and ukraine, investors are shying away from large investments. german regulators are warning google parent company, alphabet to better protect its users. the countries competition watchdogs, se users have insufficient choice and how their data is being used. this is not the 1st time the tech giant has allegedly violated you. data policy,

well chris, i mean that was definitely a pretty rude awakening this morning for a lot of investors into the airline industry, especially in the pre market trading. we did see a lot of pressure on the airline as stocks, but then when the things got a bit clearer, they moved, also calm down and most of the stocks off the big airlines and ended the day in a positive territory. but the whole incident definitely shows how vulnerable the system overall is, and everything is so tight in the airline industry and so tied to get to crews and airplane together that not much can go wrong to a guarantee as the most operating. and here in the us airline industry. ok, yann's tightness, vulnerability, we were just talking about airports, cutting costs to get pandemic traffic back. how is the industry sharing overall right now? well, i mean, pretty clearly. i mean,

there is some pressure in that sense that costs have been increasing quite a bit when it comes to fuel when it also comes to cruise or 2 pilots. but having that set in general, at least here in the united states, the airline industry, it's an excellent safe. i mean, to begin with, during the pandemic, the industry got more than $50000000000.00 and governmental aid, the debt that, that definitely help. and now business is coming back that some airlines even have to reduce some capacity because they are still in some instances are electing a crew members at this point. but overall demand is there in the upcoming earning season. we might even see some records earnings for some of the big airlines and we've talked about it a couple of times at this point in general at travelers spec, people are looking for experiences and part of this going on a vacation and going on a longer trip so in general,

the industry is in pretty good shape. yes, court in new york. thanks so much. well, we all want to do our bit of course, but doing the right thing can sometimes be quite expensive. while our shopping will often pay a premium if we want a product that is organically produced or ethically source, for example. so in economically hard times are people's usual standards taking a back seat. let's take a look soon. and 6 nora whistler is doing well today. trade has been steady at her packaging free store in finda off, but that hasn't always been the case. and last year was particularly tough for her sustainable retail concept. for many sustainability takes a backseat, when times had tough. the fact that is all it fluctuates, of course, but i've had around 20 percent fewer customers and a 20 percent drop and sales in the course of the year. the alice that's a big hit for a store like this one. i noro st. louis struggling. she opened

his door just before the corona virus pandemic broke out. and then a year ago, russia invited ukraine. she worries constantly that she'll be forced to shut down. wholesale is like this company in bremen are also feeling the pinch here. everything is organic, almost everything is local. sales are significantly lower here to the managing director. would like to push organic products to the front of people's minds. again, a self modesto cylinder couldn't move, i would say we should tell our customers, okay, it's tough right now. the situation is difficult for all of us, but let's see it as an opportunity and move forward and also tell the customers about what we're doing on how prices are developing and try to bring people to where the product to being produced wouldn't looking to loiter. a sophomore dime sampling, would you put up doc august at the transport cost of regional product is lower.

that's why organic prices have hardly risen the cost gap to conventional products is less than ever before. but consumers in these hard times are paying more attention to their wallets than their ideal. if an ally, i'm alone, so i can afford it. if i had a big family, i probably could die with inflation odayes with 3 kids. i can't do it, no smallest. it was like nora. osler's, ecological grocery market have been hit especially hard by the inflation and energy crisis. she's already paid for all the products in her stock, and every little purchase helps jensen. what do you fly? even if it's just a bottle of dishwashing liquid, it does make a difference. i understand. i don't think many people are aware of that. none. but then they feel guilty and worry about it. i try to stay calm and just wait and see what happens in the height of up savannah calmed. she can influence what happens in the big world outside finned off, but she hopes to make a small difference in her community. and here's

a reminder of the top is the story or falling for year. this, our german police have begun forcibly clearing the west german village of lute scott, where protesters are resisting attempts to expand a neighboring league night coal mine. the government and utility company are w e, says germany needs the coal to hold off an energy crisis caused by russia's warn ukraine. but critics say it threatens germany's climate goals that are sharp shell for more check us out a d, w dot com slash business, and the dw news you tube channels. thanks for watching. ah, with don't set how uncommon dream. the young man who india to join the band relations are jeopardized by cultural barrier. nevertheless, twi, down for
