goes to a voltage is reminded by top story uh this uh, data is conducting the largest air force exercise in the line since history drills are being led by germany more than 10000 soldiers and 25 countries protecting prophets. well, well here's the top of the hour. okay, so this one has your own dw visitation, news updates in just have a good day. the guardians of truth, my name is junk and and i have paid almost every price of being enjoying this in a country like to tease taking on the powers that be they risk every thing john,

don't r, s, activists, journalist and politicians living and anxiety. too much on my shoulders, but i have to hold this way because i'm responsible for the future. follow culture for the people who are behind the bus, people need to know what is happening there in our series guardians of truth watch . now on youtube dw documentary, the robs of their childhood around the world. one intended children are being pushed to work often in dangerous conditions. the fruits of their labor often ends up entangled in global supply chains. we ask, who's responsible also coming off the economic aftermath of santa gold,

the most violent protests in decades and keeping track of gym and these labor shortages statewide allow for extra doors to bond states to, nor workers from abroad business dw business on kate ferguson. thanks for joining me. delegates from all over the world are in geneva today to discuss the ways to end child labor. according to the international labor organization about one intend of o youngsters globally or working with us a ride, a 160000000 children. in most cases, they are deprived of a formal education, making it all the more difficult to access a better future. to have labor is most prevalent in central african countries, such as news, day or shot, and kind of ruined the asia pacific region. wrong. second, with a problem, especially acute in the poll. so children over work in dangerous conditions, mining role materials that end up and product sold around the world,

or in factories making garments sold in the high threes. earlier this month, the european parliament approve new legislation that will require large companies to perform due diligence on their supply chains, including keeping track of whether their partners are infringing on child labor or not to talk more about this last spring and benjamin smith, he's a tar labor specialist at the international labor organization on is joining us from geneva. high benjamin gets the you, i want to ask you about your assessment of the use supply chain low. will it make a tangible difference? well, considering that between 9 and 26 percent of the $160000000.00 children that you mentioned that are in child labor, 9.6 percent are in global supply chains. it is critically important that business step up and meet the responsibility to operate ethically without recourse to child labor in the supply chains. now there is no evidence that the supply chain

legislation, mandatory due diligence, noon of itself, has an impact. they're not so they have to measure it. so it's difficult to to say, however, we have come out and very clearly said that a mix of regulation, policy, coherence, and market based incentives are critical for responsible business conduct. and mandatory due diligence can play an important role in that so and you wide approach makes sense in that it promotes coherent so it's rather than having numerous national initiatives, you have one kind of level playing field for, for europe. and it can increase transparent. so we know that transparency allows supply chains is critical to eliminating child labor, so that due diligence that is, is promoted, should cover the entire supply chain. many times legislation doesn't require that,

but that really risk is ignoring exactly where child labor is most acute at will far up stream and of supply chains in the production of, of, of primary materials. so coherence with international standards help if those a piece of legislation have iowa standards uh, wellness selected in them, then absolutely they can be helpful and certainly to be encouraged in terms of business due diligence. sure. now we feel that the problem is especially prevalent in africa. what are governments they're doing to tackle child labor? it's yes, well, today's, well they, i guess tod labor and we heard from the d. r. c. in fact about new efforts to set up a child. they were monitoring system in the mining sector in the r c, as you and your viewers may know much of the, the minerals that go into our cell phones and electric vehicles to the batteries.

and so i come from the r c. so this is really important measure, recruiting new labor inspectors to be able to enforce the legislation overall the, the central africa as of their and africa in general space is huge challenges in terms of enforcement in terms of providing that free good quality education is so critical so eliminates out there and on top of that, it's a region that's marked by conflict. conflict in and crises. so adding to that to the difficulties of the implementation is the question that the southern africa has ratified iowa conventions. they've got policies and national action plans in place, but they also need support that they have to have the resources required to get after the root causes of child labor, primarily, household poverty. all right, benjamin smith, specialists of the international labor organization. thank you very much. thank you

. now to some of the other global business stories making news. the us building i enjoyed sorrow is, has handled over control of his $25000000000.00 empire to his son alex, for decades. the hon. gary and born financier has been using his wealth to support democracy building around the world. his phone says that he's hoping to broaden his father's level aims to causes, including focusing on abortion rights. thousands of communities on the social media site red as our shopping dining for 48 hours starting today. the action is in protest against planned changes to the websites fees the developers fear would kill of popular 3rd party applications. that is among the most popular websites in the world, is reportedly aiming for a public listing lecture. this year. jp morgan chase has agreed to settle a class action lawsuit filed by victims of jeffrey at seems to sex trafficking

slowly getting back to work violent protests a week ago. i've left a devastating impact. the company lost more than 70 buses. it's an economic disaster, and yet it's just the tip of the iceberg full. so what the impact is huge that got them decreased mobility. it's very important for the senegalese than any disruption in service. it's very difficult for the economy and the international labor organization estimates that 95 percent of the population of work in the informal sector. they're self employed. often, traders like this young woman relies on public transport i hadn't even the difficulty coming to the call to pick up my luggage that i have to sell in st. louis. although, aside from the damage, the government estimates that a day of protests can slow economic output by the equivalent of up to $33000000.00 a day. the days of unrest last week were the worst. the country had seen in decades

a challenging labor market, we have to think about how we can so attract skilled workers to us. when it's given . one hopeful is alfonso, say daniel, the industrial machinery programmer resides in madrid. he quit his permanent job, a decision he thought about for a long time. the thing that i'm able to do, but at the end, i decided to leave. otherwise, you stay in one place in your comfort zone, but this is now the opportunity to get to know a new country in an industry that suits me. look to you, and we got so low you. for 7 months, alfonso has spend 5 hours a day studying german. he sold his car to pay for lessons. i'm with the whole band of sympathetic ear many colleagues who started the course with me, but they stopped because they couldn't afford it. so many months, this is a project that you have to be able to afford. that would be that the people that i said with, i mean workers like alfonso have tried to find jobs at home like a spanish rail subsidiary transfer. so,

but it's not as easy as it was 10 years ago. i think that your so you buy this by, you feel less pain 10 years ago. did so because they had to, there were no jobs here. the people who are leaving now are looking for an experience that have to start off at about because skilled workers in the real sector also in short supply insane transfer. so i was looking for candidates elsewhere like door to bon were all fonts. so hope to soon join the ranks. so there's, there's like there's just like them where they need to, you're in each sector at the same company sites. so the good people are finding that ensures that we just go up there to few candidates today focused on the others at georgia. bon, the hope is that young spanish professionals will be motivated to come to germany. statistically, there are good reasons they might finding use of i'd love all the youth unemployment rate is just under 30 percent. and here of course, we can still make a difference by offering training opportunities and qualifications non

b to put towards you bon has long since stop relying solely on spain. it now recruits new staff in 10 different countries. and finally, the global push towards electric mobility has reached a new dimension with the loan of the world. the 1st effort electric, a flying false. there. researchers in china spent 3 years developing the futuristic vehicle which was showcased as an event emissions on the sy fi like false, or can reach an altitude of 200 meters, the cheapest speed of up to 50 kilometers an hour. for now, it's useful, be limited to fight the promotions offering riders panoramic views, and perhaps in some cases, a realization of a child hard to see and that off the 5 show for me. or you can always check out the w dot com slash business. we're on the date of the news youtube channel as well for me and it doesn't seem here in berlin. it's by the
