micron on a blacklist for major projects in the country. also on our show is a new wind blowing in a fight between communities and wind turbine developers. we look at some new initiatives to give residents a call to the prophets. hello, and welcome to the show. obviously, beardsley in berlin and we'd begin an ireland where regulators have hit meta with a 1200000000 euro fine, largest such penalties since the strict data privacy rules inter entered effect 5 years ago on the data regulator. so the parent company of facebook, what's up and instagram continues to run a file of rules governing data transfers to the us. they said meta has 5 months to bring its policies into line. the company says that it expects the u. s. and e regulators to work out a broader data privacy agreement in the coming months of the fine is the latest chapter and a decade long dispute. going back to revelations, the us intelligence agencies were accessing personal data from facebook as well as other social media companies. for more on this,

i'm joined by rosie birch are in our brussels bureau, rosie, i'm going to have you on the show, help us understand what's going on here. what exactly are irish data regulator saying with this funding with this penalty as well? not to a stands accused of violating, reaching that you were opinions, privacy rules, and it's really all here about questions of protecting european union users of the day. so when that data is transferred to the us and particularly questions around us surveillance activities, but to understand how we go here, we need to rewind because this is part of a latest twist. in years of legal wrangling under which we've seen privacy activists challenge big tech in courts now back in 2020. the years taught, court struck don't a previous data sharing framework of data flow framework between the european union and the united states, which has been known as the privacy shield since then. metal has been rely on

another mechanism known as stumbled to standard contractual closes in order to keep the data flowing across the atlantic. now we face latest decision from data protection authorities in dublin. and the reason it's happening in our own, just because meta, you headquarters is in ireland, that latest decision says the, the backup method, the standard contractual close, is used to keep the data flowing well. those to that method to is in breach of the real book and is breaching you was it was a both of you and you say that they're working on a common, a data access regulation for the summer. does that mean essentially this matter is out of met his hands and really it's, it's on a much higher political level right now. as well. messer has said this latest decision is flawed and on justify. but indeed, it really has to wait and see no fault of brussels on washington. come up with because since that decision of the east top court in 2020, the, the us has been trying to work out a nother and mechanism. another framework,

which will stand up to legal tests to, in order to keep trans atlantic faces at it, to a trusted loving data. fully known meta says that so far there is no disruption to its services in europe. so for example, facebook and instagram on. but there are several months in which it can implement this decision. now the european union has said in the last couple of hours and it said that it will be looking to try to secure a new deal or even us state to transfers with the us before the summer. so within the next few months, but it does mean that this kind of hangs in the balance here. and what we're seeing overall is a tension here, and you're between protecting users data on, of course. and of course, creating a stable environment for tech businesses. rosie bershard in our process bureau helping us understand that new fine against matter. thank you. which one is regulators bound to band? some domestic purchases of chips made by us for a micron technology is big gene continued to register its displeasure over the

outcome of the latest use of a meeting regulator saying us company failed a security re review, excuse me, beginning earlier this year and it badging would now prohibit domestic operators of key industries from doing business with microns. china recently accounted for 11 percent of microns revenue. so much of it in the area of consumer tech at the move allows last week's g 7, excuse me, it follows last week's g 7 meeting in japan where countries bound to the risk their economies from china. more than 4 decades. earlier i asked george madness of the oxford university of oxford university is china center why beijing was so upset by the communicate or statement released by g 7 countries at the end of that meeting take listen. so the communicate refers to a number of things which were clearly pointed at china. so for example, among the many paragraphs that were included with those that involved and an approach just like well known market policies, which is basically how they describe china. and that was

a non market economy about co version of other countries in terms of trade and commercial policy. they object to or don't like the harmful effects that are quote, some countries adopt with regards to certain sectors like coverage, engine, digital sector. and there's plenty in there about the requirements for international standards in governance and peace and stability. so they're almost, you know, you can pick any of those. and i think paging probably would have looked at the whole not as a, as a sort of collective. and then sir, do you know that? so linked with us and we didn't like it. we think back to this is not something that to, you know, we, we know that we're in the process and we're done. what about it? it's moved by badging against us to make her my con, is this largely symbolic or does it really carry any have for the company and ultimately for washington? so i think it's probably quite important some micro and i think a, you know, certainly a kind of a, at least

a low double digit proportion of the revenues of sales. as far as i'm aware comes from a business in china. and the fact that they've been picked on by we're trying to use government um, as a kind of a quick quote, because obviously the chinese government doesn't like the companies being picked on by the us congress or by the, by the, by the white house. so this is, this is part of the tit for tat of the, this engagement, you know, which is taking place. and so in microns being, uh, i think the chinese infrastructure companies and projects have been banned from so, so a single by micro on a chip. so michael on products, so that projects this is um, i mean in a way this is kind of possible because this is, this is just the way that the united states and chinese governments are kind of behaving to one another. not withstanding the fact that they're trying to establish, i think they're trying to establish more of a dialogue, and then they had all to see before the sign was balloon incident. earlier this

year, right, we're hearing more and more reports that there could be more dialogue between the 2 sides. i'm after a lot of those tensions you just mentioned the pollutants, and of course i'm going back to micron real quick. it could, we imagine a rift, there is other companies to try and rush in potentially including from american allies such as samsung and south korea. they would actually fit that profile pretty well of what micron is doing there. i don't know if that's intentional from china or if that's just something that the dollars will have to deal with. is it realistic as well? it, it certainly creates 2 kinds of incentives that grades and incentives, the chinese semi conductor companies to try to fill the gap. and in fact, the shares of some of that, a semi conducted companies that rises in the way to be my current announcement. it also creates an incentive for microns from cartridges to kind of steel bit of a market as well. um, but um i was same time. i mean, there are lots of new ones if you have uh, at the same time because the united states government, the south korean government,

the japanese government. uh, um, are you know, all in negotiations and talks to try to reinforce americas regulations that were introduced last year to prohibits by sell of a sensitive materials, particularly advanced micro chips to, to chinese companies. so yeah, it's a bit of a tussle going on here as to, you know, no doubt, some companies will try to get around the regulations, but ultimately those regulations are not going to be abandoned. right, that's george magnus at the china center at oxford university. thank you. so much george. thank you. say that interview was recorded earlier. you can find the full version on youtube or the dw news channel. well, germany has big plans for renewable energy this decade, with wind turbines, in particular set to play a major role. if they can find social acceptance, especially more world parts of the country, we're not all are happy about the joining structures. now,

some developers are finding clever ways of winning over residents, including giving them a copy of the prophets. the town under wind turbines, there are 37 of them in dodge as time and those who live here see them all the time . like i go to going to his grandson doesn't know any different for his grandfather to. they have long been part of everyday life. we strolled those up 2000 and bother me at all. we sit outside a lot in the summer and it's no problem. i put it in the mood is completely different. 120 kilometers further north, near luda. that's 44 wind turbines are an operation here, but no one likes them, like tanya schultz who misses her unobstructed view and something else upsets her. the increased electricity prices. she has to order electricity elsewhere, and her provider is now raised the price per kilowatt hour from $22.00 to $0.46 a month with letters. yes, one becomes naturally angry. they basically double the price per kilowatt hour and

that's we've got everything on our doorstep and we don't get anything out of it to go. everything becomes more expensive and we get nothing. now, once these types too bad doesn't focus us auto. back in dodge of time, things are obviously very different here. the wind farm has made sure of that. it gives local residents a share of its profit by can you so residents can benefit from cheap electricity, $0.30 per kilowatt hour. peter sholtes has opted for this. his previous provider raised the electricity price to almost $0.60 if it's the investment, but their relief is because actually many things that increases that my money that has an increase much the wind farm does even more. the operator voluntarily transfers one percent of the profits to the child's associations. the mayor is also pleased with the income from the business taxed and can offer residents even more. the bill was one of our citizens and we've limited this to our

own village here and can make a direct capital investment in the wind farm unless they receive an annual interest of at least 4 percent off. yeah. and when the wind blows, it's even more fuel puts in when the vent each bit of mail word has spread. the secretary general of the world wind energy association from bon is visiting dot as time. he knows how important it is to get local residents on board. if the energy turn around is to succeed and you know, some people can identify with it. they become part of it. then they are to some extent and also lobbyist on the ground for wind energy. they want to have it that themselves. um there is a good chance that there will soon be more supporters of wind power in germany. companies are now legally required to involve local residents for tonya schultz. it's a little too late a so far so you can find out more on lines
