of the electric motor bike that's helping indonesians to navigate flood zone and how the rising price of sugar is making this year's eve festival a whole lot less please. this is d to leave business. i'm kate ferguson. thanks for joining me. germany is sort of 1300000 workers with the health care i. t and hospitality sectors. especially struggling to fill vacancies according to a recent study by the co fire research group. the country skills shortage rose 30 percent in 2022 compared to the year before. for future oriented industries like renewable energy, staff, shortages are particular blow the head of wind energy developer, s l not to anarchy 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 his 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 big. 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, and 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. barton jim glotsover from insular, he has found one new employee and jakob casper readers. although he comes from a completely different industry, he was willing to learn something new and trained directly on the job allotted some lawyer committee. and his wife was actually super interesting and exciting every day. i've actually been re training for 2 and a how he is 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 the step here. 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 with nike mavita,

the boss would be happy to see more applicants with yak, ubs, 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 our portion matters placement 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 stuff everybody we talked to here on know for methods saying how difficult it is to find sco to workers. industry is saying how the sco 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. sectors such as health, social services and education are facing this problem. but here it hung over master it is the i t professionals and engineers that are missing in those fields. it is 9 out of 10 vacancies that were unfilled. last year. that's bringing enfield v by.

he's a labor market expert at the institute for employment research. mr. v, but one thing that really strikes me is just how wide spread this problem is across very effectors, whether it's 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 will 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. just so. so we have it in albany care due to aging. we have also in child care, we have to you to digitalization, we have it in the texas, which stuff it. so much in corona, the restaurant industry, all the slides industry, so business really very watson on the not that our that the

demographic change will lead to smaller and smaller, so hard in the future. so until 2035, we'll have a loss of 7000000 people in germany in the labor market. if we cannot attract migration than others, for example, ok. 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, you qualification, due to age, your connection to germany and so on. if you have enough price,

then you can come to germany and for looking for a job. and there's also another chance that is, if yes or if you 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 friendly hours? would that help? yes, i would definitely have enough to corona, 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're, what employers really have to react. and i would say more flexible working

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

you're 30 pumping 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 wind am guide and we don't have to worry about pushing it when it breaks down. 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. barry model, it 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, a unique dennis medley ang, back a. the type of battery being used is lithium, nickel, manganese, cobalt oxide. oh, mo, i'm on any. those are the main ingredients he used in these lithium batteries on mine, a balcony. the old leather elegant in anesha, 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 to process the energy celebration of electric vehicle production, but also encourages the granting of large nicole concessions in indonesia. and that's because nickel is the main mineral used in electric vehicle batteries in this country. not until now nicole, mining confessions have been granted for approximately 9000 square kilometers of

land in indonesia. 2 thirds of that is in forest areas. number 3, sorry i didn't get caught on climate friendly e bikes on the one hand, tempered by environmentally harmful. and nicole mining on the other, their real dilemma. still the no news and 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. and we come up with a family of 7 used to buy a kilogram of suites. but now they just buy how for kilo,

you can't avoid buying suites, but they become a luxury. oh, come on. yup. 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 lead 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. his food. in europe, things don't look any better. there's reco drought here. sugar beets grew to half their usual size and the shortage is driving up prices. in some cases, european consumers have had to pay 70 percent more for sugar in march than just a year earlier. and staying with all things suite, a group of

e u countries is hoping to crack down on what they describe of honey laundering. they accuse china and other countries of flooding the u market with sub par products made of sugar syrup, coloring and water. the honey, like substances, are sold at lower prices than their local alternatives. humpty complaints from beekeepers to say their livelihood art, with the group is holding for tougher rules on labeling and more frequent checks. and a reminder of our top story, germany is sort of 1300000 workers with a health care i t and hospitality factors, especially struggling to fill vacancies according to a recent study by the co 5 research group, the country skills sorted ro, 30 percent in 2022 compared to the year before. and that ratliff i show for more you can always check i t w dot com, flashed business for on the deed of the news youtube channel as well. for me on the team is the by and sticking
