motorbike that's helping indonesians to navigate flood zone and how the rising face of sugar is making this year's eat festival. whole lot less sweet. this is deadly venice. i'm kate ferguson. thanks for joining me. germany and sort of 1300000 worker as with the health care i t and hospitality factors, especially struggling to fill vacancies according to a recent study by the co fire research group. the country skills sorted rose 30 percent in 2022 compared to figure before for future oriented industries like renewable energy, star shortages are particular below the head of wind energy developer. s l not who are energy has been looking for a senior project developer for 2 years. not only that, he's got room for 10 more employees right away, but is unable to find them. not to the summer people, of course were having problems, finding people because everybody else is looking to. that's clear. so if people

don't set out themselves and say this is a new professional field for me, i am going to be brave and leave my old job and move away from what i studied and try something new. if they don't do this, then this won't work. lawyers, so we need people who are willing to change their field, will say they will go into renewable energies and do something for the future, bottom, or demon bahama from itself. he has found one new employee in jakob cast burritos, although he comes from a completely different industry. he was willing to learn something new and trained directly on the job luggage some laws that i'm good. thank you so much. this actually super interesting and exciting every day. i've actually been re training for 2 and a half years now, and i still see myself as in training because it's so extensive the job me that nevertheless, i would recommend it to anyone to take this step. it's a great industry to be in one renewable energy's. it's a very young industry and i noticed that again and again also let's make him a reader. the boss would be happy to see more applicants with yak hobbs,

kind of enthusiasm because the lack of skilled workers in the industry means the expansion of wind and photovoltaic projects is taking longer than planned. and that jeopardizes the goal of generating 80 percent of electricity from renewables by 2030 or a portion matters blakeman has been delving into this issue. he sent us this analysis from the hanover trade show, where he spoke to german business leaders about their difficulty finding staff. everybody we talked to here. i know from ether thing, how difficult it is to find skilled workers. industry is saying how the skilled labor shortage is the biggest problem for conducting business in germany right now . last years, companies were not able to find people for 600000 positions. sector such as health, social services and education are facing this problem. but here at hon, or from mazda it is the i t professionals, and engineers that are missing in those fields. it is 9 out of 10 vacancies that weren't filled last year. that's bring in and full v by. he's

a labor market expert at the institute for employment research. mr. v, about one thing that really strikes me is just how wide spread this problem is across very effect is whether if i t healthcare engineering hospitality. fundamentally is this about demographics, either just not enough young people to fill these jobs while until now it's indeed not due to democratic change because the strong demographic change would come in the future. when the baby boom, us go into pensions. but until now, it's really an upswing and the labor market in many, many sectors as to just so we avid l care due to aging. we have also in child care, we have to in digital adaptation. we have it in the texas, which stuff it so much in corona like restaurants, industry, all the slides industry. so this is really a very for watson on the know that our,

for that the democratic change will lead to smaller, smaller cohorts in the future. so until 2035, we all have a loss of 7000000 people in germany in the labor market. if we cannot attract migration than others, for example. okay, and i wanted to touch exactly on that point and the german government has a nice plans to make it easier to attract workers from abroad. if someone i, 5, germany is watching this now and think maybe they'd like to work here. what criteria do they need to fulfill? well, there are different possibilities and it will become really quite easy to come to germany. for example, we all have a system like canada, with, with a special card where you, where you have the system, the way to collect points qualification due to age, your connection to germany and so on. if you have enough prize,

then you can come to germany and for looking for a job, there's also another chance that is, if yes or you've found a job in germany and your labor contract, that you can come even if you have no qualification, which is officially accepted in the policy cation from your domestic country will be enough. what about rethinking working conditions themselves? i'm thinking of things like afford a week or offering more family friend the hours would that help? yes, i would definitely have enough to grow now. i mean, we really had to connect of shock so everybody could see that working differently as possible, that mobile work is possible and so on. and this is what people we try and now. so we have shortages and the labor market. people really have the chance to get what they want, and employers really have to react. and i would say more flexible working conditions,

more individual working times that, that the check workers and also to increase motivation. all right, and over from the institute for employment research. thank you very much. thank you . in indonesia some 76000000 people live in areas prone to flooding. it's an especially big problem in densely population. cities where poor drainage makes it hard to get a right. now, a group of entrepreneurs is seeking to solve that problem, at least by creating a flood resistance and notably, and that trick motorbike take a look test striving and no neesha as 1st flat resistant electric motorbike in a country that experiences regular flooding. it could be a game changer on this pioneering model, the actuators placed in the center of the motorbike. this prevents damage from water and vibrations on rough roads. when your 3rd hip and thing here, oh,

i think it's important to have a bike to sound that can cope with various conditions on the sea, even if it's way or flooded. a lot of windham garden, we don't have to worry about pushing it when it breaks. down the like me not, i'm not all the manufacturing the capital jakarta worked with several institutions to develop the technology. one of them as the r w t h r hm. university. in germany it's helped develop the actuators and the batteries. dylan de remodeling. the challenge in producing all electric motor bikes is definitely the battery that it's only the battery that can allow us to speed up charging or extend the range. so far, the batteries limited capacity, has also limited the range. it can currently drive 50 kilometers per charge with a single battery and 100 kilometers with a jewel battery system. battery charging facilities or battery swapping stations

are now available at various locations in an anesha. but the hoped for boom and electric motor bikes also has a dockside. yeah. and you need dennis medley, ang, back a. the type of battery being used is lithium, nickel, manganese, cobalt oxide, homo. how much any, those are the main ingredients he used in these lithium batteries on mine, back anything. but the lithium in aneesha is one of the world's largest nickel producers and has lots of reserves. but the mess of scale of mining is damaging the environment up to button brooklyn, sienna, the acceleration of electric vehicle production, but also encourages the granting of large nickel concessions in indonesia. and that's because nickel is the main mineral used in electric vehicle batteries in this country. not up until now. nichol mining concessions have been granted for approximately 9000 square kilometers of land in indonesia. 2 thirds of that is in

forest areas. num, rattlesnake who had by how did you get them gotten climate friendly. e bikes on the one hand, tempered by environmentally harmful in the coal mining on the other, their real dilemma. still, the indonesian government is aiming to have 2000000 electric motor bikes on the road. by 2025 muslims around the world are celebrating the end of ramadan to day and event that's usually marked by a huge it freight felt a feast. preparing the fat for this year is eat, might be a bit more expensive and huge villa in syria. many confectioners fear a drop in sales this year. the ramadan is the busiest time of the year. customers are buying half as much as they usually do. i'm gonna hook it family of 7 used to buy a kilogram of sweets, but now they just buy. how for kilo,

you can't avoid buying sweets, but they've become a luxury comedy up to severe economic crisis. and syria is the main reason purchasing power has dwindled, but the price of sugar has also risen sharply. it's gone up by more than 20 percent this year alone. sugar hasn't been this expensive for 10 years. last year, persistent drought led to a slump in the sugar cane harvest. in brazil, the world's most important growing country. and the war in ukraine is also having an impact. energy prices have risen sharply. it became more profitable to convert sugar into ethanol and use it as fuel than to sell it as food in europe, things don't look any better. there's reco drought here. sugar beets grew to half their usual size, and a shortage is driving up prices. in some cases, european consumers had to pay 70 percent more for sugar in march than just a year earlier. and staying with all things suite, a group of
