switching to a cheaper alternative isn't always an option because even the roof of overhead is getting more expensive. rent prices are on the rise around the glove causing extra central fears for many. that's one of our topics on this week's edition of made data of use business magazine. and these are our other reports tech and tradition. and machines save our cultural heritage. revenue only as robots as the hospitality industry, finding workers, and speeding and sustainability. why don't we take our foot off the guess? i'm of the xena. welcome. a living in a big city is exciting, invigorating, and extremely expensive. and it's often the most popular cities that have the biggest price. that's nothing new. but recently a cost of living crisis has made a bad situation. worse. new york now tops the list as the most expensive city in

the world. a 2 bedroom apartment and the inner city costs $3500.00 zeros, on average in germany, new and make us the costliest metropolis charging an average rent of 1300 to year us austria's capital vienna on the other hand as booking the trends. thanks to it's affordable housing system, average rent is only 850 years for renters and lisbon. such affordable housing is a pipe dream. as more and more people have emigrated to the portuguese capital rents have exploded. now prices are pushing local to the periphery. how's that affecting the community? our reporter and luckless bonus went to find out what the cfo of is all angry is. now what you go to is going through a housing crisis for taurus the country might be a dream, but so many locals. it's more of a nightmare. ludmilla ramos is worried about losing her height. the mother of 5 has

received an ultimatum from the authorities who was threatening demolition 1st. they say this smooth extension has to go. actually, the whole house was built without permission to proceed with the animal because i would have paying 600 you raise to my apartment and they wanted to raise it to 800 . i couldn't afford that, so i have to come here. and foremost, settlement saw springing up old around lisbon, a rising rent, so placing a huge bed and on people in cities. as we learn from georgina the 68 year old suspense that he is living between 2 train lines. now her rent has to rise from 300 years a month to 500, touching a question mark or the future here are just the, the new and austin has been the stone cold, but the rent, so just too high for people on the minimum wage of $760.00 you raise you show faster honors, it's really tough. they don't have a 2nd job so that i can afford a car park, which i need to get to work. and i have to work 13 hours

a day to run out through z honors. so what's behind this? portugal was once the pool house of europe, now it's the place to be off to the financial crisis. the government began offering immediate residents permits to anyone willing to invest 500000. you raise that vote in for an invest, as especially from china and brazil. then there was an influx of retirees from france, and in recent is tech companies have been flocking to portugal as universities specialize increasingly and engineering and technology development hobbs to vote. so sprung up around lisbon and pool. so the conditions are perfect and not just the big corporations and left him on the other firms and realized that to the bushes here in the portugal telecom has 900 engineers and it's innovation center and hold on does, can you just don't hear about that in germany to me, unless you come here and see it 1st hand because this too late. so he's my skills walk is and yet low wages. that's what makes portugal attractive for businesses

based portuguese and foreign professionals of buying for jobs. a little housing is being built as we see here in less than a whole new housing estates designed by the ends of piano is going up in a prime location versus a luxury accommodation. similar to mess. ok. there's all the particulars. prices here started $6000.00 euros per square meter, and all of this housing is all new to that person was the negative about them. and let's get you to the see if you would ask people a few years ago to show you this area on the map automotive view and them up to date of struggle. nobody's with this. the difficulty for sale. what snacking is housing for the white population? georgina shows us some apartments in her neighborhood that used to be so people are moving comes you know, they want 300004 that 300004 an apartment and natal. i thought it was due monday. the government is now taking action, issuing

a ban on new licenses to abby and be apartments. some publicly use buildings to be converted into housing. and if necessary, privately owned buildings that are empty will be forcibly rented out that those findings are more affordable. housing say it's not enough. i know exactly. it's just window dressing again because the typical of this government do you speak of the additional available to me or if i way it us near lisbon isn't impressed either . i think so it'd be this one, but we need state on housing on our own land the most if necessary. we even need to expropriate that land. that is there, but i agree with and more importantly, we need to take land out of the national agricultural reserve and build on it if we don't create public the own housing, we're not solving the problem comfortable, but i know some of the month that's the pa his city is taking at the national level . it's not yet clear what impact the government's plans will have. but even the real estate agent knows things needs to change. the capacity out emotional harmony

and cohesion is so important make a point of if we lose that and will lose part of our investment fund for the students. portugal is of use of a country that so many, it's no longer offering a beautiful life. average incomes of 1400 year rates, but social housing makes up just 3 percent of housing stock, 3 times less than the you average friend or foe. that's the question that's being asked around the world when it comes to advanced robots and they, i many worry about losing their jobs. others are betting on a positive revolution. that includes a business on the engine needed an island of java. it's investing in high performing robots to save the future of a piece of cultural heritage. the. ready the melted wax is reading, using a spouting tool called a counting. the hot wax are among them is applied to fabric before it's died. but take as an exacting technique. you can take 2 or 3 months to complete

a piece about to creations produced by under sweetie. our source family business are made on the indonesian island of java. he's worried about the future of this traditional handicraft family have at the funds on there are many challenges to making boutique by hand up. i mean, i think, i think so firstly, but to curtis are becoming scarce, young to try to remember it's hard to find people from the younger generation who like to do it to something a little more than a long came boutique printing day, which does not follow the standard process of making boutique and be that money will be back on. i think unesco has added indonesian by taking to its list of intangible cultural heritage of humanity to help keep this unique handicraft alive and a sooty are so invented the team. the world's 1st about teak machine. he's also a university lecturer for mechanical engineering who sought an efficient means to

ensure the survival of but take making in his homeland salmon don't. but i conducted research to design technology for the boutique process. from what i'm thinking on appealing to process on that day. my hope i wasn't using technology would make the process faster and more productive. if it's about the solid people now, it can be reduced to a matter of days. so that's what we're trying to do. and we hope that in the future, particularly more competitive in the marketplace will become about the 55 companies are employing modern technology, not just during production, but to create the designs to before the buy take motif. so we're drawn on paper and then transferred to the cloth. now the computer takes care of that and sends the finished design to the machine. busy with about the give me, i'm the take machine is connected to this computer. here. it runs a program that translates the image is produced by the previous design or the battery account. but these images are then converted into machine language and the

results are executed using the software on this computer and come with them. that's basically it. it's not so tough the i think, i mean if they did tell them when i got home without any the basic business has great potential exports are running at more than $500000000.00 us dollars. providing work for some 200000 people. at 47000 companies and formed demand is growing so the team could help the customer be to kind of watch. busy who's been in the bi, take business for years, has purchased the machine. she believes it makes protect production significantly more efficient. it's lowered her production costs by around 30 percent. i mean you got to be someone here. yeah. we cannot get rid of traditional badges make is big because even though we have these machines, we still need them as

a special complicated jobs. yeah. up and running through media. so usually when making lines less than half a minimum, it's a long community. and for example, the granite to make sure everybody is videos the big mess, this much e for clients don't. so it looks like a line, but actually it's made up of don't do the machines. can we do that? but it takes a long time. the law must scully between mos inventor and the city are so stresses that his machine wasn't designed to put people out of work. tell us how to do. yes, i need to look at what is the criteria for the introduce your national standard? is that particular handicrafts whom i'm going to take? i'm therefore technology cannot replace the whole process and it must remain predominantly manual work. so we started looking at which boutique processes could be effectively and efficiently replaced by technology because the company that know about chemo costs, around $10000.00 euro, a large song, for small indonesian firms,

were given high global demand. the machine could give the batik industry a big boost and the world isn't only short of fatigue. artist, hotels, and restaurants are also struggling to find employees at the moment. germany's labor market is short, $50000.00 people. for example, in france, it's $200000.00 and the us is missing a total of $2000000.00 workers. accounting in berlin is now trying out the same solution as the batik producer from java. their newest employee is a robots of this past. the dish with beacon meats and parmesan was prepared not by a human foot by this cooking rainbow. and it's been working in the cafeteria of the bed and also has complex for 2 weeks. what is a place to buy a cell phone out for touchpad? each new to bone costs 8 year is 50. once you've paid the result starts cooking it makes is the pre costs and pre cooks ingredients together and heats them out. 5

minutes later tennis of i think it's fantastic. i'm very surprised about how tasting it is that they can come to quite good. the noodles got a quick longer, but that's a matter of fine tuning the machine. that of of fine tuning is good. it is okay. it's okay. it's not like a restaurant law, but it's way better than your class. a campaign continuous. this can be really compared with the continues who it's and it's freshly made. so i think it's even better because it's not, you know, boiling and this preparation of pants. the result was developed by berlin based style shop aids makes founder manual. how do i was involved with food delivery service for dora and got the idea from the big shortage of workers in the restaurant industry using it again. so we see it more as a supplement into the normal campaign at line just to take some of the load all against is on us all. but we have lots of demand in the area of nighttime catering or weekend catering where a normal cafeteria doesn't work. you know, wonderful,

that's because the number of employees you need and the number of ingredients you must keep in stock and keep warm. makes it too expensive for me to i that's why can teams are often closed, tempting of for the result one a, the ons told us, the boss of aramark gemini immediately ordered 5 hoping to use a shortage of walk. is the fast way about cook gone. it interest from colleagues across europe as its purpose is your best. these are the situation we have with a shortage of skilled workers. it's the same worldwide as we see it everywhere. and we're having more and more problems getting well trained people and getting people into trainings on the north, down to house. but you can see this in spain and the check for public. and just as much as here you can also see about wins. the classic country in kitchen stuff will stay they've you, they've heard about connie gives an assistance. no, it's, it's competition. so the aramark had shifts, and belin remains fixed on easy as mine. my husbands have once me my personal wish would be for these robots to stay in a supporting role and not take the cooking away from us. we should continue to cook

the way our grandmothers date and keep expanding on that. that's what's important to me. that's the new the very bought. com cook and tiny by itself is dishes, were developed by 8 me shift safari, which was on a former shift at the ad on hotel. he sells the 36 kindest as the robot uses with ingredients such as vegetables and sources. he doesn't think they're ready, but will be replacing him any time soon. i'm quoting, but not monday i. when you cook, you use all 5 senses. it's a fun. you see what you're cooking once you taste and smell it. yep. okay, cool. when you feel the product is really hard or soft, this move is says hodges. and those are capabilities. no robot currently possesses opportunity. what kind of what type of test? something else? the robot lacks social skills and machine to make a quick bite to eat. that contains also more success. if it comes to the class, the canteen, as we know it in germany will stay. there will always be this meeting place. here.

it's about much more than just the food. yeah, so people want to meet and see each other again, that technology is still in its infancy. and if you use, however, it may be quite normal. the machines to cook for us. staying with the topic of high performance machines, the car you see behind me is one of the fastest vehicles in the world. it reaches more than 400 kilometers an hour. so it's way too fast to drive on the highway. except if you're in germany, more than half of all german highways actually have no speed limit at all. and most people in the country are in no rush to change that despite its dangerous consequences. the is this is thought of the german autobahn. maybe if you're visiting because for

many locals, hurling down the highway at top speed is just another day of driving. germany could save millions of tons of few to a year if it implemented a speed limit. so why doesn't the self proclaimed cream power tickets put off the gas in germany, the debate around the speed limit is polarizing a slight majority of the population wants one, but the opposition is loud. it's weakness off. it doesn't make sense to drive 200 kilometers per hour just to have some fun or feel superior to other people. that's the thing we should keep it as it is. we are restricted everywhere. what do you, what i am awesome about apparently gas prices stood on high enough to make people drive to the west bogo. why do we build cars with more than 50 horse power? if we can only drive a 100 kilometers per hour and assign them? and spoiler alert, this discussion often doesn't prove all around. fact gets a kind of a now. so to say, in motion of the phase, this is katya dear. she wrote a book about mobility in germany, costs people one to stuck, to be free,

to have that free will of drive with it really fast. but let's take a look at the facts 1st. germany has more than 13000 kilometers of autobahn, famously well maintained and toll free for cars. most countries in the world got speed limits to improve road safety or to consider fuel get in germany. you can drive as fast as you want and about 70 percent of highways. opponents of the speed limit argue that there are fewer road that's per kilometer on the altima. and then in some nation, such as france or italy. but experts like the german road safety council will say it will become even safer with a limit in recent years. but discussion has shifted to another aspect. the climate, the one thing also these agree on that of speak limit on these highways with lower emissions. the question is to what extent will according to the latest study, by jeremy's environment agencies, the country could save up to $6700000.00 tons of c o 2 per year. if it implemented a speed limit of a 120 kilometers per hour,

that's about as much as low emission in countries like rolanda in eritrea polluting the year. another study commissioned by the car friendly ftp party puts the savings much lower at $1100000.00 tons per year. so realistically speaking, how substantial really is a cut of one to 6000000 tons of c o. 2 for a top looter like germany. the opponents of the month to a speed lead me to argue that the emission reductions wouldn't be 3 via julia much really research of the transport and climate policy. they just choose that denominator that would make it appear ridiculous, the ridiculously small. but i think if you, if you choose the, the right, the nominator, the reduction would be substantial. the denominator he's referring to is the gap between how much the german transportation sector should be emitting, according to the federal climate protection act, and how much it actually is a meeting in 2022. the sector went over to to mission is target point 9000000 times a speed limit to reduce that different significantly if they go with

a german environment. agencies estimates if it go with the liberal party, it's estimates the limit could reduce a portion of the success of missions. it's such a low line hanging fluid in terms of no age weight will have other benefits in terms of safety and reducing road death. and he's already exists in, in pretty much any other country in the woods. but for some germans, that's a big they see driving fast as an expression of their freedom and cars as a part of their culture. and some of john and see it as a kind of d n a. i think it's that it's sorry to say with, i don't know if you block the nazi dictator promise to motorized germany. in the 1930s, a venture that he said would create jobs and dr of technological development. he wanted to lay the groundwork for one of the earliest highway networks in the world . for a while, the nazis implemented no speed restrictions. that is until resources started running low during world war 2 and auto bond drivers had to stick to a limit of 80 kilometers per hour to consider of gas. after the war,

having autonomy became crucial to many german. germany was only destroyed where there was no hope. the weather was per wow. yeah, coming back from the front and the car was a kind of freedom side. owning a car was d aspiration that turns more and more feasible. as the car industry started booming, producing cars became the answer to rebuilding the country's economy and driving them fast became the answer to rebuilding its freedom. so west germany got rid of them now to speed limit law in 1952. so literally when the communist judy yard is off during german reunification in 1990 it's out of on steve restrictions went with it shortly after for decades, many germans fought tooth and nail for this liberty. any time anyone messed with the right to drive fast, they were met with outrage. perhaps because of the country with tens of millions of cars and christine roads, driving fast might just be one of the easiest ways to find the place of freedom.

this lives of freedom has become a bit of a selling point abroad torres even come to germany to drive as fast as possible for several 100 year olds. you too can rent a premium car to enjoy the excitement of the notorious sermon, autobahn drive full throttle, and which tops speeds of 300 kilometers per hour or more. but if other people also find driving fast so fun, why is germany one of the only countries that still allows that? after all this time the speed limit can hardly be sold as a relic of nazi germany. well, the tuning car industry that provided many germans with a taste of freedom back then a still around of course. and it's very influential. the line between politicians and the car lobby has long been blurry. so you'll see this kind of what in germany the card did to effect the step out of politics and they've got to go to the industry or to the lobby organizations. these close ties became apparent when

jeremy's, previous transport minister met with industry representatives 80 times during his tenure of nearly 4 years. this was 1st reported by the german newspapers to touch a title. he only met with environmental associations once. and the new government continues to give privilege access. it's less the ability summit was almost exclusively stocked with car representatives. it's no surprise that the government has awesome push for the car industry's interest when it comes to limiting caps on vehicle emissions, for example, or expanding highways around the country. that's where the speed limit we can save up the car lobby has actively petition against it in government. but we know the conservative and the liberal party currently stand in the way of this restriction. and so does most of the industry we not me, in general, we'd just beat limits on the lawn shirts as a spokes person for the vda, an interest group for germany's automotive industry. the situations adapted speech recognition. the video suggests digital boards could show

a speed limit when bad weather or traffic conditions require it. according to the group or richard limit would have minimal effects on the climate or road safety. it's factual references a study that says the limit could cost german society more than a $1000000000.00 euros. the study calculated how much time germans would lose if they drove slower, and how much of an average wage they would miss out on as a result. but this 2023 paper published in the journal for ecological economics disputes, assertions, like these it's cost benefit analysis of germany could save hundreds of millions every year because yes, there is a cost of a speed limit. the benefits, like paying less for fuel damages from accidents and even the future effects of climate change wave. these costs re, from that tends to implement a speed limit, have been denied in parliament because one of the parties in power the car from the ftp block, the issue from being part of the coalition agreement. instead, some opponents like to point to alternatives to save emissions. like going electric . many car producers are becoming more open to the shift. after all that you has

banned the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2035. in germany, it's very slowly incentivizing people to use electric vehicles. but there's still tens of millions of cars with combustion engines on german roads. and not everyone can afford to get rid of stairs or wants to. beyond that, the country has the potential to improve public transport and rural areas and revamp a train system that currently is often late and unreliable. but the solutions take time for many environmental researchers stress is that a speed limit is one of the fastest mechanisms we have to lower emissions in the meantime. in my opinion, if the german government funds even bring the tubs to do that, then i, i wonder what one it can do to, to reduce parts permissions. i think we need to have like that uh sent to us some but it's a bed of dreams as driving fast and owning a car for some people. this would feel like an attack on their culture, their personal freedom. but it would put jeremy on par with most countries in the

world. that's it for this next edition of made in germany from all of us in the berlin store. you. good bye. thanks for watching it. take care. the

don't be afraid. for some that's easier said than done. ready drive our thoughts and behaviors. so to the question is,

what are the effects of fear? and how do we overcome in good shape in 30 minutes on d, w. when the house see becomes the house in the sea, when rising ocean levels trenton coastline, building a lot of building b also waterfront is a fair electricals. the climate change requires new thinking is living on water and the future. floating cities close up even 90 minutes on dw, really profiteering instead of response of the global business of asbestos. this is not legitimate because the people that are in don't deserve to be treated
