7:18 am
endlessly harmful to the environment or not. this is a 21st century. we have to fight this time and sense. no, not again come from this. since last year, nobody lives in the village which used to house around a 100 residents. 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 blackout 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 cold? i mean, what would happen if they just left it in the ground or germany does not need, is this, say, co, what would happen if they leave it on the ground? there would be enough eternity for coal mining roots and options in that region all for ha and god's viola, where the coldest mind or a dredged and m. yeah,
7:19 am
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? i mean, of course we have coal and we will use coal also for energy security right now, or in the next years because of the gas crisis, we will last a use gas for electricity production than 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 renewable social . now you're saying germany doesn't need this coal. why is the government so
7:20 am
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, or the mining is and we could have used a tentative of cause our w e has an economic interest to do so because it's easier as economically more efficient. but anyhow, it's now here 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 my opinion,
7:21 am
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 a debate and that's bad for germany. we should find another alternative 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 have to 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 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, the 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, frances data protection authority find google $57000000.00 in december. ryan air is

7:24 am
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 travel expect 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,

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. wholesalers 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 is up modesto. so on the corner, 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 presently loiter. it's ahmad dot hensley. 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
