band to struggle with post break. that paperwork will hear from a tor promoter. i've seen 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 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 clocks 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. 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 u. dominican as 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 ledges legalization. we asked him if the new water down plans for commercial sales were bloated company. no, absolutely not. actually be expected this. it's a 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. i 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. demi khan was 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. it's 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. meek hi . separately, bloomberg reported that apple has tripled its production of mobile phones in 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 that imports of rush and crude and natural gas fell for more than 2000000000 euros to just 4000000 euros. inflation and germany came in at 7.4 percent, and march easing from almost 9 percent in the 1st 2 months year. that's thanks to a drop in energy cost of 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, it's u k tour. before it even started. trigger caught a punch trio from foot guard and from germany headed back home. earlier this month, after british war agents turned them back at the french port of calais. the band had 7 gifts planned across you k. the thought that his papers were in order order forces decided otherwise. experts say the band is the only act struggling to figure

out post exit paperwork he and smith as a music agent who also works with european bands, touring the continent and the u. k. in welcome to the show. this ban trigger does 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 for germany. please 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 a permitted paid engagement concession letters or invitation only names, addresses, et cetera. and you can enter on that route, but there are the routes. one called a certificate to 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 pan, another v passports taken away from them the ban. so we'll 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 the funds, you know. so let me put it this way. this is not the 1st time this has 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 or 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. the guy 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 gambles. 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 it without a visa. and they sometimes use this route, it's a little bit risky because i think the 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 ident got 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 you for work in the created ours are briefly and you 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 $9180.80 s 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 engine. ian smith talking about bands from the u. k. and europe trying to tour. thank you very much. pleasure. will chip 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 and the global high tech semiconductor

supply chain. the german region is still confident it to can carve out a share that market microchips are going to play a key role anthony. since future, many of the tips are being developed at the u. s. company global foundries. it's been producing high tech microchips here in the eastern german region known as silicon saxony since 2009 around 40000 employees from 45 countries are working to make you are a bless, dependent on chinese and taiwanese semi conductors. and it's not the only company bedding on this location in silica here and silicon sexton a. we don't just have global foundries, but also bush and finance. at m d, we have build a mature environment off semiconductor experts. it's a complete supply chain. the suppliers are here to drive him off to supply chains, 3 for us, and he interested unheeded. these charms have turn silicon saxony to germany's most important location for chip production. the european ships actually mobilized

43000000000 euros to jumpstart semiconductor production is set to attract even more companies. this isn't in the super little, it's a policy that strengthens the semiconductor industry. it's a european response to a subsidy race. we are competing with other regions around the world uncle, bordered in another. you're on the vote and us feed on yet the muffled g and optic and anthony and our bidding additional factor is here, taiwanese markedly that he has m c, however, has put its plants. rodriguez and unhurried for the time being almost that is long before this semi conductor in this tree is very much in the political spotlight right now and focuses. lots of countries are competing for control of the chip sector and other resume had plenty of countries. some of whose economies depend on a semi conductor industry are giving massive subsidies to you. i'm. europe cannot match these incentives right now. it looks like this. and the other type of silicon saxony is hoping to improve its performance with its well trained international

specialists from placed in university of technology. many graduates join large companies, but also start ups like re 6, a design company for the semiconductor industry. like laura hernandez from one do us. they are confident in the regents prospects. other just gives us the opportunity. as you can find with silicon saxony are very broad, and they go according to anything or to all of the topics that i'll be talking to tell dessie. and if you get a call, let's say to her what or to say, i would still stay here. i really like dressing, it's a nice city and as i stated for co 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. and finally,

a new type of battery could revolutionize the technology behind medical devices. we're talking about an edible battery. researchers at the italian institute of technology in milan have created the prototype to power ingested will. medical devices, the 1st battery that's both edible, edible, and rechargeable research. team hopes that edible electronics will help diagnose and treat gastrointestinal conditions. can also be used to monitor food quality of a few questions about the recharging of those batteries. or here's a reminder of our top business story. germany is pulling back on plans for a broad commercialization of cannabis following criticism and concern from the youth. the government ministers present the new plan this week, calling for a model project to proceed any further for commercial sales. that's our show. you can find out more about these and other stories online dot com slash business. we're also on youtube. under the d. w channel, i've seen beers,
