a financial crime or financial issue is, is not necessarily unusual in china because the, the justice a system with him, off the public security or the local police bureau and be have a financial crime you investigation also here is in this particular case with regard to our ground. there are the so far we do not know exactly to what extent are there is a financial crime or, or, or anything related to that has actually happened. however, it has evolved into a public, a security concern in china because um, starting from august, the 2021. there have been, uh, several waives of prod has related to our grand is a wealth management unit or the wealth or other word is the shuttle banking.

the idea that our grand, you're getting involved into the shuttle banking system. it is triggered the masters of products. so it became a public security problem. now there's been a statement issued by the patients and a police saying that an investigation into the financial management unit is ongoing at the police call on investigators and the public to report any cases of suspected fraud to the authorities. is it a finger point towards what is being investigated here? are very, very, very likely, because our grande's either had didn't have a wealth management unit. and the wealth management unit is notorious knowledge of support and we're brandy. but across the financial, across the banking system in china is notoriously not transparent. and there have been multiple cases of fraud. the print in previous years of being reported. what

are these are risk then mean for ever grand as this and battled company as it is? i am, are grounded as a company is that already fall from the throwing in terms of the proper, a privately owned property developers in china's market. and right now, the company itself is a stove in the midst of government, the guided data restructuring. and it has been locked in for quite some time. so this additional, you mastication probably came into on the one hand. so they're looking into where the money could. it could have gone how to trace money back. and then more importantly, how to stabilize china is the housing market. so, as again, as the council on foreign relations speaking there and not to some of the other global business stories making news. germany is set to draw more than half of its power from renewable sources. this that's according to economy is sort of a hobby because it more is needed to meet ambitious renewable energy goals until 20

in some sense, india of course, be a lot of this market. you know, it's not just been turned in the market from the products, but also if they want to, then that would suffice to be compliments, etc. or what they initially going to manufacture then at the school for such a expansion in india is much larger. i mean, i'm comparing here with countries like we have, i guess all these different countries. i think the only other country which has the sizes indonesia. but the probably the ecosystem and big growth stuff. india is a significantly larger let's talk about how india is taking up against these are all the countries here in the 2nd. first, i would like to know the fact that this announcement was made on prime minister and their under modi's birthday tells us what may be going through that. so it may very, very be orchestrated as well because the, you know,

the prime minister mode be uh, add, add the best pay attention to these, the pains. so it's entirely possible and then the ad, you know, before fall is going on. so to get the attention of the prime minister and then they chose to announce that on this thing. that was orvin to punch a gallery of professor of indian political economy at columbia university in new york. and you can watch the entire interview on the d. w. youtube channel. one of the world's most important shipping routes is seeing significant disruption only around 80 kilometers long. the panama canal saves vessels having to circumnavigate the whole of north or south america or embark on time consuming land to journeys up to 14000 ships. use the canal and central america each year, transporting grains crude oil, ellen gee, and all the products the past year, the canal generated around 4 and a half $1000000000.00,

but this could change and ongoing drought has left water levels of the canal depleted, causing as operators to cut down on the number of passenger passages, the w's latin america correspondent, nicole ris reports. precision is key when huge vessels pass through the panama canal. it's a passage through the ivr needle. just over 33 meters wide. the middle of floor is loc allows for barely any wiggle room, but in the, in this ball, carrier from single poor can pass. but there's other problems affected by a severe drought. the canal administration has been tightening restrictions over the past months, reducing passages and the amount of cargo ships can carry. and it's difficult to say a full when the situation will change. a pseudo m o one sampled c and i am 80 percent worried right around now we should have cumulate enough water to get to the next dry season that begins in mid december and ends in mid may. if we do not manage to

recover to normal levels until mid december, we'll, we'll be in a more serious situation. next year i see that i'm going to take the ceiling and i had already brought some money. it is rainy season, but rain full of scarce a drizzle. at best. the all new phenomenon is hitting panama hard at its worst river, so close to drawing up. and despite some precipitation, reservoirs feeding the canals still carry less water than usually. although the canals secures passage for all the ships that have the book to slot in advance back lock, so now possible. those with don't book except longer waiting times. meanwhile, the day the number of ships allowed in the canal currently $32.00 could also drop, causing a loss of up to $200000000.00 in revenues next year and threatening trade, especially in the u. s. and asia. also some bare necessities are stakes. us economist color, so that's garcia after all, drain among other items. the ship to the canal. you know,

i bigger concern has to do with greens with food and, and that could really just spike, especially with the worried crane and the conflicts there. decrease a lot of attention when it comes down to the actual supply of grains and you have in perfect world, the one we're leaving, of course, of course, and that be, i mean, prices may take arise until the next 69 months due to the situation in our basement right now in panama. meanwhile canal administrator, so studying different options including to get water from elsewhere of the one on the left, on the ceilings. one possible solution is the development of new water projects with some kind of investment that allows us to accumulate more water import water from neighboring basins in such a way that we promptly meet the need for growth of the surrounding population. because there is also a growing demand of drinking water and there's the increase of vessels and goods that pass through the canals. boy, but i think okay,

you've been kind of got to getting approval for such plans could take years until then more restrictions are likely scenario to safe water and reduce losses. and here's a look at our top. sorry, chinese, please have detained staff at china's battles. property developer ever signaling a new phase in the investigation of the company. at the heart of the countries property crisis shares never been plunged. 25 percent when trading opened in on call. later. we call it social for an hour or more check out our website at dw dot com slash business, and of course the details each is colburn. berlin, thanks for watching or be successful. the
