and i have paid almost every price of being mutual in the country like turkey taking all the powers that be the risk. everything john dunbar needs active as journalists and politicians living in exile the way to which they live for their mission. what drives them? people need to know what is happening to our ceilings, guardians, as truth watch now, on youtube dw documentary, the global challenges are forcing economies to vote quickly while increasingly leaving

businesses and ordinary people with little time to adapt. but i made the frustration, the new developments are also caused for whole as countries face the energy crisis and climate change. we'll be looking at that on this week's edition of made the w's business magazine. here's some of what we have lined up. energy crisis is germany becoming less attractive for doing business. economic transformation, although was appeal journey to join, the easier climate change we've gannons and their struggle to protect their homes against the flights. which opponents in belgium. welcome to the show. energy is still very much a hot button issue in germany and getting people experts and businesses to agree on the solutions seems nearly impossible. such as when it comes to liquefied natural gas terminals. the volume at the protest against ellen g terminals has been rising as quickly as they are being built. a reporter margin. kuta breaks it down for us. a hi tech ends made of steel. germany is building liquid natural gas terminals that

experts say are absolutely vital. you best on one day, any sites that's ready to be developed should be developed quickly. and that has been there are mixed opinions and they use most populous countries. on building b, l, n, g infrastructure. the task protests will continue false events. how many terminals does the country need to summer in germany? no one wants to think about the window right now, but some people do it for a living. in a single thing, nice. looking at next winter. we haven't done enough planning yet to ensure the supply that we're accustomed to was in energy security is an important concept in germany these days because houses meet heating in the winter, an industry needs affordable energy to. it's been a big problem since the end of the russian gas deliveries. germany didn't have

a single terminal to import liquid natural gas, but that all changed rapidly. loading terminals were chartered and connected to the pipeline network. in record time. politicians were praised for their quick response in securing the energy supply and the rapid pace continues. 10 new terminals are being planned. the permits are being processed at top speed. one terminal is being developed on the baltic island route in large pipeline runs very close to the island. environmental activists fear that increase chipping traffic will upset the regions delicate marine ecosystem. residents are protesting. among other things, they fewer terminal will have a negative effect on tourism. in the region, you go, mr. and we don't think that the demand is high enough for the island of are going to be sacrificed for it will just jump over. and honestly,

i don't think that an energy emergency is coming from a company. there are so many ways that we can cut back on our consumption. i'm spot and we need to implement them how it looks most. so should germany continue building with an eye on the coming winter, or pause for the moment to examine the cost in demand. after all, energy from natural gas is not a permanent solution. it's a sawdust, it's true that not true gas produces less c, o 2 emissions been cold, which is why we sat for a long time that it some more climate friendly fossil fuels. and i get to the guy as quote them is of able to is still a fossil fuel because the greenhouse gases or released during the extraction and during the site is it. so it's home for, for the climate to machine. germany wants to be climate neutral by 2045. by that time the terminals will be converted to hold hydrogen, but it won't be easy. if this is a nice looking all of us on the it's never been done before. we don't even able to

transition from allergy to hydrogen. looks like the for the ty, lots of parts will have to be replaced. but just how much that will cost is anybody's guess is offended. so the promise wasn't really an honest one. the still going to add is, but it sounds it is if it won't cost anything, that's like you can just switch from one to the alpha something with it wouldn't be nice to use a flu. is this hot light on this? germany is facing an energy dilemma. in the short term, the country needs expensive. ellen determine those which will quickly become obsolete. what should be done? continue to build for weight to many german companies are increasingly under pressure due to high energy costs. and the lack of skilled work is that is making production less sorts and, and is making germany a less attractive place to do business. and it has been slipping and international rankings and many of small and medium sized german companies. it's hidden. tompkins are considering moving production abroad, but that's not an option for every business. as dw reporter,

cloudy electric found out, they may not be household names, but germany's medium sized businesses keep germany working. in an society like in business, those in the middle of suffer, the most medium sized firms of feeling, the pressure, the industrialization of germany is a creeping process is high energy cost smoked enough skills loc. as an too much bureaucracy, type companies have germany as a production location. is it risk? come the receive instigated it? so how does seem to come foundry is a typical mid sized company in western germany. they cost muscle parts, use the machine construction, wind turbines, rolling mills, and the mining industry see induction melting. sinuses required lots of electricity around $55.00 gigawatts per yes. as much as a town of 20000 people. so rising energy costs pays

a major problem. we'll see mostly from home. so we as industrial users had annual cost of around $4.00 to $4500000.00 euro saving bill after the green crisis began and the energy price riley of 2022 of us. we paid 15 to 16000000 euro. so for the same amount of energy, so $10.00 to $11000000.00 euro is more per year on the boat seems very familiar one or will for y'all to dates the foundry has received no government assistance. and less of course, really programs don't reach us. mid sized companies, because of the sensors bureaucracy. for the past one and a half years. we've had to deal with the crisis situation with our clients and the competitive pressure from abroad on our owns pool posting mostly and zabel money of the only $1.00 possible solution would be to move their entire production to pools . but for foundry bostic, who by about single cent option. so it's increasingly hard to find qualified work cuz many of his employees come from this region. give us an incomplete inductive.

we need to ensure that as world champions and productivity, the structural components we make here. also stay here, it makes no sense of these parts that we need for the energy transition and economic transformation in the next 10 to 12 years. all are produced in india or china, you know. yeah, i understood that the competition is gaining ground as a country's kind of a cheap a power younger what forces and lower taxes than in germany making mid sized companies had less and less competitive in a recent index on the attractiveness of the 21 countries as a business location, the usa, canada, and sweden top the list, germany run 18. well, he came in last and that's the germany. it has to be extremely attractive as a production location because there weren't many other alternatives. countries couldn't compete with germany because they weren't at our level,

the bottom. maybe we rested on our laurels to long and, and what's happened in the meantime is that in other countries have become extremely competitive. as a lender, 16 bit of stock will go chest and the production location index germany performed was due to high texas atlanta fall down the list for its labor costs, bureaucracy, and energy prices. less and infrastructure and financing. been initially awful. if we don't play catch up because others are progressing faster, now we'll fall far behind and we need to prevent that does, is it? so finding that this wind turbine may cut plums to keep home producing and germany, somebody business office, a comprehensive service from the original concepts, 3 to maintenance this year. turnover is expected to double to around a 150000000 new arrives to meet its future energy needs. germany needs to most of

the invest in renewables like wind power, yet getting permission to erect a single wind turbine can take up to 7 years. the wheels are throughout chrissy also ton salty slowly for the simple comp foundry which produces parts the wind turbines which might have when i look at the working hours, i spend on energy bureaucracy alone. it's about 3 and a half weeks out of it. every 21 says yet my to the use as a managing director are actually completely different tools and i have to move innovative processes forward, understand customer demands, and hit a business information like can be wasting my time in the garage per seat. that's how big problems please, and probably companies are demanding that politicians take action talk to us because we know how to handle crises and solving problems pragmatically. now's the time to act. if germany doesn't want to be left behind. the

a mold over is a candidate for you membership, but it will be yours before the small eastern european country as part of the block . that's why moldova needs help transforming its economy. a german bank is giving support to farmers by teaching them to adapt and modernize businesses so that they can become more profitable and attracts younger workers, most of whom have left the country, a reporter cohort, and broke brought back this report from moldova without 4 wheel drive and a good set of tires you can forget it. here. wet weather turn small, drove as dirt, roads into mud slides. but bush meta of germany, spar costs a foundation doesn't let that stop him. the financial expert is on his way to the village of zora to meet loc, the advises small farmers, and matters of money, finance, and accounting. new height. the majority of the small farmers here are at an

age where they can only continue farming for about 10 more years up to you. i don't know if by the time couldn't. one of his clients is maria leah, who, together with her husband and a friend, the 60 year old works around 14 heck, tears producing sweet cherries, apricots, and apples. her children have moved abroad. she hopes that one of her sons will come back to take over the farm. she needs new, more modern machinery to make sure her business keeps up with the competition. because one thing is clear, the children will only come back to the village when the business is making enough money. why should be that knows that the banking sector still doesn't work for small farmers? maria le, who is worried about bank loans, leases and rent to buy offers. mm hm. with the experience and we don't have the experience, it's been sort of on a small farm, is we're afraid to take outline lessons and just did that. but what happens if i do

the, to the harvest as bought. com? so what would i do that i'm lucky on the cut them a little the rest of my us the shelf with, with me, the full of the funds, interest rate. so very high might be flushing box for my model of the cmc with g h function. wish me to promises her that he will lobby government agencies to ensure that there are a special state grants for small farmers. so they can access financing the journey continues, self word along the nice to river me care vera. you have a g manages a large farm of 2000 tech chairs. she has around $100.00 employees. many of them are seasonal workers. the older ones still remember the era of collective farms. the time of the collective funds was better. everyone

earn some bread and cause the pay was low, but enough for everyone who does that now? it's just not enough. that's all me. just nicholas entrepreneur rivera. yeah. bungee doesn't care about the social is past. she's looking forward for around $500000.00 bureaus. she's building a new logistics hall with cold storage. this year's entire harvest has already been sold in the netherlands, a competitive, large scale enterprise like this receives, in contrast to small farmers, western financial aid and small state support. you have on g, c, small dover in the you. so let's go say it was a so when you step by step will produce the same quality as they do in your visit, the running average. i'm seeing that you, we must compete with european goods. we're then will be back to reflect a moment before us and the inquiry of those who refuse come to the bottom is that the worst of emotional belief applied to it to wish me to see the future of farming

. and these kinds of large scale enterprises that can compete at the level but sometimes confidence is lacking. the split the inside the potential won't be fully seem a sudden it is the case that moved over compared to its neighbors yield substantially less per hector effect. and that's obviously publicized if this does that, of course, doesn't help to bolster the confidence of the farmers. that's what was said for love just to get some status and confidence is what he wants to build. like at this trade school, he and his team are playing and economic game tailored to model the specifications . the game teaches the young people how a farm and works. they learn to negotiate with banks, take out loans, and do proper accounting. they're given the know how needed to properly run

a farm such as possible. and these 2 students want to put the siri into practice with their own business idea. what is such as the if i want to plan to field of lab and they're going to do to, to just do off, which is a good it looks pretty good and lots of tourists come to take photos and duties. fuck pause. also, lavender is used in medicine used for us to go leave and taught in many cosmetic products to them and adjusting that to which made us still has a lot to do. his next project is a special smartphone app for the farming community. that means even digitalization will find its way into the villages of modeling. 2 2 cache or digital payments? well that sometimes depends on where you are and what you're buying. but well, i prefer digital payments. i don't always get to choose here in berlin,

where cash is king. in most businesses, that's because germany is lagging behind as most of the world embraces digital payments. let's take a look at how and why that is. it will catch soon via thing of the past. for economists, banks and many consumers. tasha simply in annoyance. they say it will soon be history. you served by digital payments. a simple click from cellphone to cell phone. instead of rummaging through your wallet, it's quick, easy, genic, and popular with young people. many banks don't buy cash because of the costs involved. notes and coins have to be stored. transported, transferred into a teams account at over and over again, registered on accounts and strictly guarded. some banks of already gone cash list and some countries to sweden was the 1st to introduce the digital currency. and to now in the rest of scandinavia,

almost all payments are made in digital form nigeria with the digital e. my era is leading the field in africa, access to cash is limited across the continent anyway, due to a lack of bank branches. the germans, meanwhile, are hanging onto their cash. 54 percent of the highest figure in europe prefer to pay with it. but in the euro is set to bring many advantages. no more, a team's being blown up, money laundering, financing, terrorism and tax fraud would be made much harder according to cash critics. but cash advocates say that money laundering didn't decrease despite the use 2016 decision to fight it by doing away with the 500 euro notes. they won that if we can only pay digitally, everyone becomes visible to the state. every transaction can be tracked and information gleaned about where we live, what we eat,

and what we consume. they say the huge data industry would also be able to interfere in your affairs. in canada, the digital accounts of people supporting stretching truckers were frozen and china is social chris, it system centers critics by blocking their transactions the the end of cash. critics say it's a threat to democracy despite that cash flows, payment is on the rise. more and more people use it because it's practical and easy . the us to introduce a digital hero by 2026. but cash won't be going anywhere. so the climate change is causing more destructive storms and floods, making it harder to insure property in many coastal cities across the united states, insurance firms, upgrades rates and change their terms to help them cover losses. a reporter,

much as freshman went to the coast in louisiana with home insurance rates have risen at the quickest pace and the country. it was more hurricane city u. s. coast and states. climate change is putting insurance in the eye of the store . armageddon in terms of insurance, where the price is concerned. why the top of what we call home in the past 2 years, 23 property insurance companies went bankrupt for stop doing business in louisiana . driving up the cost of home insurance, we travel to the south of louisiana to find out more your liens, musicians, village was built for those who lost their homes to hurricane katrina. here we meet george admire. dan audio engineer was shocked to get use of have to increase in his homeowners insurance. like out an email recently informing me

that i needed to look at the new documentation because the insurance rates were going up. and i didn't realize that they were going to actually double admire lives with the memories of the devastation, katrina wrecked. but the pelican state has been forever its best 7 more hurricane since. globally, economic loss of costs by spring weather events have increased a time since the $0.19. the climate change has increased the expense of wildfires and intensities hurricanes worldwide around the world. natural disasters are increasing but especially outside of europe in the us. many people have no insurance back in louisiana, we travel further south from new orleans passing the refineries straddled by hughes and wetlands,

where houses are nestled between the gulf of mexico and the mississippi river. becomes clear why people in louisiana are more likely to have insurance. and residents of any other states, flood insurance is provided by fema, a federal agency that recently changed it's methodology. now houses that are raised above ground are cheaper to ensure that everyone can afford to elevate their house . we meet kenny barnes telling me and his brothers to so little help after recent store and they making a price raised just by forcing people to go up in air. you know, so everything is, and they told you at the moment, but what the prediction is down a lot. so i don't want to feel as fair and i'll feel as you know is right on the, on the stuff. and that's the thing. that's why the families have lived here for generations working as fishermen or in the local

energy industry. no. where does this seem like they're just the roof? people? yeah. the is are, and why the knolls each one of those we call the area of the call, right? so you might get to because the houses here are on ground level insurance rates are set to increase significantly in accordance with themes, new criteria. new policy holders in this community would have to pay 1000 percent more to get their homes insured against flooding. that's the highest increase across the nation for homeowners, that's the relief insights. as construction costs of sword with inflation and interest rates have risen. the insurance industry faces an additional problem. re insurance for the insurance for insurance companies are raising prices, but up to 100 percent. cost increase that eventually will trickle down to consumers

. and louisiana. the government is trying to learn insurance companies back to the states we're competing with did after katrina. the insurance commissioner wants to lower insurance rates by increasing competition between assure us to attract them. the states, canada of $42000000.00 to $8.00 insurance companies and then incentive program to attract companies to a market to replace the coverage we will losing to the next of the major national periods the but it may just be changing the way how to start to build that would bring really market striker and bradley holland are part of an n t o adults affordable housing. these homes are all to $45.00 against hurricane this place to this stood, which is tied together with

a sheet that goes all the way down to our foundation. and this is now every 4 inches on center. so we have a complete full system wherever things lock them together. additionally, the windows can be fitted with shutters to protect against debris that could come crashing through the n g o. it's $20.00 to $30.00 homes each year to them. it is a question of if the next hurricane hits for gwen if you can maintain the roof, the house will more than likely make it through a big storm. and that's, that's crucial. so far, there isn't any government support to $45.00 homes and louisiana. the plans for subsidies to strengthen roots are on the table. some insurance companies now only take new policy holders. higher standards are met here. they're building in new orleans learned 9 for which son meant step of station during hurricane katrina. because the city they loved is also their home.

and that brings us to the end of today's edition of made. thank you so much for watching and do join us again next time until then for me and the entire team here in berlin is good by and take care of the
