band to struggle with post breaks. that paperwork will hear from a top promoter. i'm seeing fiercely in berlin. welcome to our show. germany is pulling back on plans for a broad commercialization of cannabis following some political opposition, as well as concerns from the you want to know government ministers presented the new plan this week, calling for a model project to proceed any further commercial sales. new legislation would otherwise legalize possession of up to 25 grams of cannabis and allow private growth of up to 3 plants. it would also permit so called cannabis clubs for adult consumption. now under the new concept, a nationwide commercialization of cannabis would only come after a 5 year model project with a more limited scale. and the exact outlines of that model, including the area involved involved have yet to be clarified. but the plans call for scientific and policy evaluations along the way with results to be offered to the you. jimmy con is the name of the only german company permitted to cultivate

medicinal, medicinal, cannabis in germany. the companies managing director was at that press conference announcing the new outline for ledgers legalization. we asked him if the new water down plans for commercial sales were bloated company. no, absolutely not. actually be expected this the so called legalization light. and we think it's better to do something light and actually be in a position to realize it than to promise something that you, you know, cannot just implement later on because of you regulations are right now think it's positive because we have a timeline. now we know that there will be a draft law end of april for the 1st pillar and a draft law after the summer break for the 2nd pillow, the so called muddle project. and once we have that, we have that clarity. we know we'll be producing more and we'll deliver cannabis to the german market. what is open still is, what size will this model project have? are we talking about 10 cities? are we talking about 50 cities? are we talking about 80 percent of the country or less?

so that's really something we are very curious about to learn more. over the course of the next month. all right, there was managing director for the medicinal, medicinal cannabis company, dominican. let's go now to some of the other global business stories making headlines. chinese exports rose in march for the 1st time in 6 months as the world's 2nd largest economy continues. its post, coven recovery, exports rose nearly 15 percent, while trade with neighboring russia. search almost 26 percent. that's despite western sanctions over the invasion of ukraine exports the u. s. and the european union fell during march. apple is in talks with suppliers to make mac book computers in thailand. that's according to the japanese newspaper kneecap mc hi. separately, bloomberg reported that apple has tripled its production of mobile phones and india . it's all part of the company's ongoing efforts to reduce its reliance on china. german imports from russia plummeted. 91 percent in february. that's

a year on year figure. russia invaded ukraine in february last year, prompting many german firms to ditch their business in the country. new data shows the importance of russian crude and natural gas fell for more than 2000000000 euros to just 4000000 euro. inflation in germany came in at 7.4 percent in march, easing from almost 9 percent in the 1st 2 months year. that's thanks to drop in energy cost, fuel and gas that's according to the federal statistics office. despite the decrease inflation remains high, london might be the birthplace of punk, but getting there is getting harder when punk band from germany now says bureaucracy stopped its u. k tour before even started trigger cut, a punk trio from foot guard and from germany headed back home. earlier this month after british war agents turn them back at the french port of calais. the band had 7 gig plan to cross you k. the thought that it's papers were in order order forces

decided otherwise. experts say the band is the only ack struggling to figure out post bags that paperwork. in smith is a music asian who also works with european bands, touring the continent and the u. k. in welcome to the show. this ban trigger has had invitations from various venues. so what exactly did it do wrong? i'll do really quickly, and also i'm the founder of a free to use website u. k. elsewhere, info. i'm from germany. police check out, sorry to start info. it's a german great site explaining all of this anyway, what happened with the guys? they tried to enter on something called permitted, paid engagement concession letters or invitation only names, addresses, etc. and you can enter on that route, but there are the routes. one called a certificate sponsorship, the border guard said, no,

you can't enter unless you have certificates for sponsorship, which wasn't entirely correct. then in talking to the band over the 90 minutes, they were held in the holding band and other passports taken away from them the band. so i will try to make this better and started talking to the board guards and told them they had other jobs. and on this particular route into the u. k, you have to have been invited on the basis of your doing what you do in your main job. now that's different. you know. so let me put it this way. this is not the 1st time. this is happened not exactly this way, but it's a risky route to go in the certificate sponsorship. there's usually a lot safer. well, that's exactly my question. they had the wrong paperwork here. but how common is this becoming that bands where other artists are coming up with the wrong paperwork and being turned back at the border? i need to say wasn't the wrong paperwork. it was the interpretation that god had that they were not allowed to come in on that,

that route. so they had the right paperwork, but then you have to be able to argue your case in terms of all the bands. it happens and not just bump bands. these are classical artist and not just musicians, dances, photographers, filmmakers. it covers the whole gamut. we are getting and have been getting for many years. this happened with other 3rd country nationals, americans, japanese colombians, et cetera. who can go into the k without a visa, and they sometimes use this route. it's a little bit risky, because if they go more to god says no, there's no right of appeal at the board. is this something we're seeing more often after breaks it or are these guards becoming less lenient? or is this always been the case? i wouldn't say that becoming less lenient. it depends, of course, on who you haven't hit the border at the time. and of course, before breaks it, there was none of this. all you have to do is show your passport to show you how to valid or even identity. god to show you how to validate you citizenship. and you

can come and work through whatever you want to do. and of course we have the $9180.00 day rule which is causing problems as well. but it's got, obviously a lot worse for both of you citizens coming into the u. k and u. k. citizens going into the u for work in the created ours are briefly in just touch on this, but is this also something we're seeing with british bands going into the are they also having problems with us briefly if you could really briefly. yes, they are because they don't totally understand the rules on 9180. and when it comes in at the end of this year is going to make things even tighter because it's going to be automated. all right, music asian. ian smith talking about bands from the u. k. in europe trying to tour . thank you very much. pleasure. what ship makers in eastern germany are reacting to soaring demand for semiconductors by expanding their production facilities and what some are calling silicon saxony. now with the u. s. south korea, taiwan, japan and china all competing for leadership in the global high tech semiconductor

performance with its well trained international specialists from placed in university of technology. many graduates join lapse companies, but also start up like re 6, a design company for the semiconductor industry. like laura hernandez from one dual house. they are confident in the regents prospects. other test cases, the opportunities you can find with silicon saxon are very broad. and they go according to anything, a, to all of the topics that are being taught in detail desson. and if you get a call and let's say to we're what will to say i would still stay here. i really like dressing. it's a nice city. and as i stated for cult well, the work culture here is very healthy. the region hopes that even more young international professionals will come to appreciate the city and choose to stay.
