they might facilitate of your business on what's in berlin. welcome to the program . over a 1000 lives lost in an instant the collapse of the ron plaza, textile factory, and bangladesh shaw light on the appalling conditions faced by many of the worlds factory workers. now exactly 10 years on the lessons been learned memories of the night, man. okay. cartoon still has these images stuck in her head. she was working in the ronna plaza textile factory near bangladesh, his capital darker. when the building collapsed, more than 1100 people were killed, ro care was seriously injured. what did i look local of will love with this in new up that i will never be able to forget that day. look at the memories of it. make me incredibly sad. my daughter still got them. i feel like i'm still buried under the rubble. that means that i go with them when i think back on it. i mean the

world is collapsing on me. i wish so much that i could just forget all this and go back to normal life. hope of the sewing machine in her sister's room is a reminder of her old life. she could no longer use it. the injuries were care cartoon, suffered or too severe, a monument to remember the victims has been built at the side of the collapse. the once bustling area is now overgrown with nature. many lessons have been learned from the accident, says abdulla allah, keep he own several textile factories inspections. officials have awarded his buildings for being sustainable and safe. after that, they got con, fee actually went down and they resilient we walked out of the, the fac fuel nor read the government the. 2 even the brand partners, they all worked together and we actually invested in all those. so the state of the

art of facilities, there are now legally mandated controls regulations on how many fire extinguishers must be present. a minimum size for emergency exits, members of the workforce who must be trained in rescue procedures. but the standard isn't this high across bangladesh. working conditions in the textile sector are still dangerous, even though the textile industry accounts for 80 percent of the countries exports. another issue is the low minimum wage. it's barely enough for millions of people to survive wages. this is poor it pals and taka. and it's a huge and sasha now for workers is to toss in order to maintain that baby, maybe. and they're cutting the mental normally from the and else from the children's to this is something okay. a cartoon can relate to before the collapse,

she sometimes worked more than 12 hours a day, earning roughly 50 euros per month. now that she's unable to work, she relies on her brother in law for financial support. still, she's grateful for a 2nd chance at life. and she doesn't want to let it go to waste under any circumstances. let's discuss what has or hasn't changed in the decades since the tragedy at ron plaza with outbursts ago deputy general secretary of uni global union rich represent service workers around the world of christmas. the place to start here, 10 years later is to ask, could ron plaza happen again? thank you for talking to me today. unfortunately, i would say we are not in a situation yet in the world where around a plan, i could not happen somewhere else and any other country i believe, and by the dash we have meet a lot of progress. certainly the fact that have been covered by the court are much,

much safer than they were 10 years ago. but only at the beginning of our program, which we're planning to expand into other countries. and i would say the risk off and industrial disaster off the dimensions of run a plot happening in another country is not unlikely record you mention this has been signed up to by many brands. but what does it require of them? and how has that brought about change in the past decade? the following around a plaza come up in 2013, be signed an agreement with the leading global retailer brown's. they have signed a series of additional agreement following that $1.20 companies worldwide signed on to this agreement and then made a commitment to 1st of all require the facts reset. they worked with to make the building face behalf and agreed a standard that is agreed with the government of bangladesh and through engineer

conducted audits by the program that we have to have established. the factories have been required to make changes so that workers are safe for they go into the factory. but in addition to that, and that's a very important part of our program, we have trade both workers and managers in the factories to set up health and safety committee and to be alert to understand what requirements there are for a factory to be safe. and a very important element to be included into this agreement is also the work of can actually make a complaint about issues that they're finding in the factories. we have an independent complaint mechanism which is recognized as the most critical credible complaints mechanism out there in the world. the factories can be reported when workers find that there are safety issues. and those reports will be investigated by the, the team that we have on the ground in front. and then we'll be taken off that

doesn't cover bangladesh, right? seems like that has been progress over the past decade. be sort of hinted earlier that beyond the dash there are concerns in other countries. where should we be looking to now to spot the sort of potential for something like ron plaza? what they have done this. the international court is to look at a number of countries. they are the brands that have signed this agreement or sourcing from and we have identified practice time if the next country that break spun india or to, or in discussions with the government of pakistan. very discussed that the brands with the industry in pakistan about setting up the program there, which will take the lessons learned from bundle dish and include the same elements which are inspections and remediation and safety training programs. for managers and workers and complaints mechanism. and people. i developed those into

a specific program for pakistan, and that's the 1st country we're going to be have of course, the ambition to expand our program into other countries as well as the next one are going to start operations. now i remember back 10 years ago after the tragedy that there was a lot of soul searching among many of us as consumers, thinking about what have we, in any way contributed to what's happened here by the choices we made. in terms of how much we're willing to pay for certain products or who we buy those products from. is there anything that consumes can be doing to play their own parsons and preventing the sorts of conditions forming that were the conditions that allowed ron plaza to happen? one thing, it unfortunately has not improved as much as the safety in the, in the factories is the, the be doesn't salaries that are being paid to the factory workers. and a lot of that has to do with the price is that a brands are prepared to pay for the product that are being made in those factories

. that's a problem that we're seeing. it's not part of the program that we have, but it's certainly an element that needs to be developed. and consumers can make their contributions by 1st of all, checking there been, they did, the process of buying are being made to lead. first of all, make sure that they come from a c factor that is covered by the court, but also by requiring, asking off the brand. so they bind to products, asking them to pay a fair wages to the records that are making the products ok. capacity from unique local union. thanks a lot for joining us on top of your business. to pleasure, thank you. now let's take a look at some of the other global business stories making the news and was expected to be credit suisse is final, quarterly report records show that the bank. so over 62000000000 yours with withdrawals. the 1st 3 months of this year. and that it was able to increase profits because it's higher risk debt wiped out, credit suisse was swallowed by

u. b. s. and emergency. take a one day strike at 2 major german. apple is grounded, hundreds of flights. the war counted berlin and humbug. apple was, i pay for security work as ground crew. your logic economy has seen increasingly destructive strikes and recent months, as unions representing work is in many travel sectors. demand better pay and german business confidence edged up in april, according to a recent index reading by the german e phone institute of economic search. optimism was boasted by falling energy prices and china's reopening, but was offset by concerns about higher interest. i asked if i was president clements 1st, what german businesses are saying as their main challenge right now? i think business is still face a lot of uncertainty regarding the energy supply and the energy price situation.

maybe not in the summer about in the next autumn. we may be back in a critical situation because we are not able to split up all stalls with gas from russia. so that has to come from somewhere else at the same time. but of course, uncertainty about the ukraine war and about relations to china. china is very important markets for german companies. so there are worries here, and they're also worried about the impact of higher interest rates and more restrictive monetary policy only economies. so it's not quite clear how inflation, the pressure, how far it will go down and how quickly. and the companies are worried about that also because the real incomes of consumers are depressed and it's not, not, not clear how wage settlements with you with that. interesting, you talk about jeff little issues that being a factor and you talked about interest rates,

essentially the pandemic of the impacts of the time to make on sentiment and, and how businesses are assessing that, that their situation are they gone now? is that in the past, i think the pandemic is behind us, apart from the fact that the supply chain disruptions are and effects are a consequence of the pandemic, mostly about that is also easing at the moment. so i, i think the pandemic here is more or less behind us. so of course, this is left scores in people in their education. they'd has left scars on balance sheet soft some companies. but so i would say the current concerns are more about energy supply and about geopolitical tensions. ok for president clemons phase. thanks so much for your time. thank you. that's all from me. visits him here in berlin until next time with
