guessing push back even from the families. i can be this weekend on how to use it a lot more now i will ask you on the, on the, on the slicing social moons seeking your self determined life and let's go from treasury and abuse stuff. august 5th on dw, the wells powers, russell 11 h as result asses, the west african nation has less towards russia following a military coup, raising concerns in europe over uranium supplies. and working one day less with pilot schemes being rolled out several country as we'll discuss the merits of the 4
8:17 am
days, which is the state of the business. i'm of lots and but then welcome to the program . and we begin with the economic implications of the ministry who in new york and nations office having to evacuate the citizens from the west african nation after military leaders. you've worked closely with russia's voc in a mess and recruit seized power is just new to could shift its allegiances away from its former colonial power of france. as towards moscow is a case supply of the uranium needed by your new to the house. mostly discuss what's at stake in these uh, let's speak to alex vines, who is director of the advocate program at chatham house. thanks a lot for joining us just to understand this a little bit better. so how interested is russia in each? as natural resources? the russian federation is a mining country and sort of wherever there is mining assets that they will go go
8:18 am
to and looking at them. they offer example a, the company resolved as a major producer of both sides a mine and wanting books. i didn't get any. and so a country like these. yeah, that represents the 7th largest producer uranium in the well, is some way that russia would pick the rest of the clean be interested in unhealthy fish rushes involvement already that given the wagner groups presence india, or actually i'm not sure the group is present in these yeah, it's very present in the to the north in libya and it's very active in money. it's trying to get market entrance to get into booking of fafsa, and the military jumped to leader. and booking on fossa was very visible at the russia africa summit. and since petersburg last week, including also being at the annual navy dining celebration in st. petersburg on sunday. so the russians are wearing him. we're seeing some russian flags being
8:19 am
floating around amongst demonstrators in uh, in uh, in these. yeah. but, but russia itself is robustly condemned. the the cool news. yeah. they supported the un security council resolution and from administer and lever off has condemned the crew twice, saying that the constitutional role should be re tubs. having said that, the, the, the head of the private military group, mr. pre shogun, has said that the crew in new jersey is, or is, is a great step forward and he's been offering his services to the jump to in the time . how much can we separate those 2 groups, the russian government and wagner? cuz if they're saying different things, it's a little confusing, isn't it? because we know that one of them does kind of rely on the other. so i'm confused on this. i was less confused on to the events of wagner
8:20 am
moving on to moscow. and since then, so what happened in, in, in, in june has, has been very confusing. um, it could be the actually, the kremlin dozen welcomed military crews because they may have felt pressing by wagner potentially strikes of stage one. i mean, we just don't know. so it's all very confusing, including the mr. pre shogun was on the fringes of the russia, africa, somebody else and petersburg. we've seen folks as of a meeting people and he's still active, although he's meant to be in belarus. he's clearly in the russian federation of the moment. so it's confusing. it's not clear. and day, but let's say we can get some clarity as time goes on. alex volumes from chatham house. thank you so much for being is your insights nevertheless. thank you very much. i or no, it could be the next major revolution in the work place in the wake of the korean
8:21 am
of ours pandemic work is, are increasingly saying that they want a 4 day working week with trials taking place in europe and countries like portugal . the idea is gaining momentum among employers to so launch corvair of only where is this protective all the rules 4 times a week. that's because our employer is participating in a 4 day work week pilot projects. so lounge works less than the lab, but earns as much as she would working 5 days. because it sounds easy. on the one hand, the pressure increases as we work with fewer people because someone is always absent at school. but we also know that we have an extra day off, and the rest is eating and combust to respond to the pressure. it's easy to ask, so the prospect of more leisure time appears to be motivating. that is the assumption of some 40 companies participating in the pilot project. and they're basing this on experiences from other european countries. the project is being
8:22 am
monitored by researchers. as improvements for employees have to do with any improvements in mental health and also work life balance. and there are many indicators at those levels. what we also see is that for companies there tends to be savings and the savings overcome the costs. the savings have to do with the reduction in intermediaries costs, specifically associated with the risk decrease in absence is right before day work . week trial mainly involves firms from the industrial instead of this sectors. it allows fortune goes socialist government to fulfill an election promise that has also prompted a public debate about the country's competitiveness, a new temporary split. it is important that we create attractive working conditions at a time when we are trying to attract the skilled workers company to do that on the road this up and also about the change isn't just about getting rid of one day. it's also radically reorganizing procedures because the daily number of working
8:23 am
hours is still the same. is it also slices for noise? we will have fewer meetings because people should be able to concentrate better on the work and not be constantly interrupted. that's how we want to save time when we've done that. all the firms now have until the end of the year to test whether the 4 day week is effective by the president of germany's effort instituted for economic affairs has spoken out against the 4 day week. simon's 1st joins me now. thanks a lot for being with us. so this idea appears to be gaining support as why on you among them. i think that we already have a situation where people can work 2 days, 3 days, 4 days, 5 days a week. i think there is no need for a general or regulation on top of that. we are living in times we're increasing the companies and public administrations have difficulty finding people. so if we
8:24 am
encourage people to walk even the less we will have problems. for instance, if we think about hospitals, they already have problems, finding enough nurses and employees generally, and this would be made worse by a full day week. this isn't the idea that this would actually make jobs more attractive if people can work just 4 days instead of 5 for the same amount of pay. a yes, i mean, today people can work for days. it's just not the same amount of pay. if we get paid less, we a yes, i mean if we leave the give a give a pay of a 5 day week for a holiday week. that's an increase in all the wages of 25 percent. the question is, who will pay for that? the productivity may increase a little, but certainly not by 25 percent. so the question is, who would come out? the cost? it's that that's not easy. and still, even if people do find a full day week attractive, i don't think uh, the,
8:25 am
the amount of those people are willing to walk will increase by it enough to compensate for the loss of the one day. so i think there's no way to transfer suggested the transfer the that happened into this. and that happens sometimes we've just been hearing about the trying to push go to control it in the you k, but in the us as well. and they found the name of the company's taking potter, but really found this to be a positive thing. and i've been 90 percent of them in the case of the the case that he said that we had to keep up the 4 day week and that they didn't say this drop in productivity. i think it's perfectly fine with individual companies do that. but it's certainly not something to be done with lies. if we think of, you know, services like the health service, the police had sent the necessary. let people i'm around for some time and increasing the walk falls by enough to maintain those services. a 247 with just not be possible. so. ready i don't think this can be generalized. the mean watching
8:26 am
life is flexible on riley. so companies will think, yes, it's better to have people watching full days a week. that's fine, but it should be something that is regulated. generally, you have to realize that it to you moving against the fashion of the night and this is something that is picking up, but many times why. why do you feel you need to speak out on this because we do, we don't always hear from you on the, on every issue i, i think it's important to explain really what the consequences of this are. i think for wage compensation is unrealistic. and it's people, what last one implication is also because we financed the pension system, perhaps system on the basis of labor and come mostly we, a lot of people walk less than unless they, well, it would also pay less tax. and this will undermine the finances of the welfare state entirely. so why king less at times where the fewer and fewer people in the
8:27 am
workforce anyway simply doesn't work for a number of reasons. i think we need to encourage people to walk more in the end. it's an individual decision about so what we need is rather encouragement for working more. we don't need to encourage people to walk less. i think that that's something that people will find quite a bleak idea that people should be pushed to welcome all people who are already exhausted. and how do you go about deciding people? that's a good question. you know, i'm not saying pushing people, i think a encouraging people and giving incentives also. yes. i mean where there was gas it to you of was we need to pay them more about encouraging them to walk. last will simply make shortages and public services less, and that's not the way to go. okay. clements 1st president of the 2nd stage, and i'm really interesting hearing your point to view on this. thank you right now . in the u. k. m l is race. it has rising even to new heights,
