and can take a socialist government is seeking the support of capital and set purchase policies to remain in power. and that's it from me and the new steam fund, all that will be a world news update. of course, at the top of the out. don't go away. robots is up next with your business news. looking at germany's economic doldrums. don't miss that. i've got office in berlin from in the team. the . every jenny surprises me. it's gone all out to give you some of the right people in your northern most count the police the free time,

but still very much alive. your guy to the special recognizes where exactly it was fun. i have learned a lot of our culture history. all their travel extremely worth a visit. the act now to avoid falling fall behind the german government to this to introduce new policies to attract workers and boost starts of investments. but is it already too late? australia, it goes offline, an outage of the country, 2nd largest mobile provider. he was millions of australians without the internet getting women engine is a head starts. we visits and full female workshop in south africa that's helping

tackle and equality in the field is the state of your business, hon. it's invalid. welcome to the program. it will get worse before it gets better . that's the assessment of germany's the economy by the panel of economic experts about advises the government invalid. and the light is forecast by the groups sometimes referred to as the wise man and women of german economics. they are predicting the german economy will shrink by notes point 4 percent this year as it struggle with to recover its strength before posting moderate growth of note point 7 percent in 2024 for the experts are also urging the german government to act. now to avoid long term problems to modernize the economy, because it's just linking retirement age to life expectancy, meaning that germans would wait longer to keep the pension system sustainable. among other suggestions of the expos saying that they want to make it easier for

migrants to entity them, these job market that likes the more investment in education. and then also, recommending changes in capital market policies to make it easier. startups to get investment thought and speaking to one of the members of the gym and council of economic x best bull, rickamono g. i as to why jim and he's economy was struggling to recover in a way that its neighbors were not. so in some of the other european economies, how big are crashed in productivity in a g d p? because some of the industries are more effective, think about tourism or other service oriented industries which may be less heavily represented and in germany. now these economies now benefit from the catching up from getting back to prior levels by germany. you don't see so much this spring, but at the same time, these medium to long term factors are really want to talk about. they are kicking in right now. we are seeing the constraints in the labor market companies off

feeling the need to get to market move uh uh to increase the workforce and are not able to do it. at the same time. we do have to acknowledge that we did think consumers what you know, pick up 1st of the consumption spending would go up costs, or we haven't seen that. that's one of the things that was not directly predicted. and that's a feeding into the sum of drawer numbers. let's talk about these medium to long term effects that you've been mentioning about in german workforce because we talk about as a medium and long term effect. but it's already have this shortage of skilled workers here in germany, for example. so what all the solutions that you and your colleagues the putting forward to yeah, so yeah, exactly right. it's already here but um with the baby boomer generation entering retirement it will get worse. so we want to say really strongly, even if that's not happening today. that's what all the politicians should be thinking about, the people who have influence on policy. and so you can start by trying to address

it with people who are already in germany. you can try to further increase labor market participation, or even our us work in particular by females. females do have a not higher participation quarter now, but it's also still part time. so getting women to, to go to full time would be one aspect um, but it will suffice. we do need to drastically increase the immigration, offer a label for workforce. and um, putting a lot of effort into simplifying by making it a little less, bureaucratic, less complicated, they can less difficult to get the general acceptance of your degree abroad. that it's kind of equivalent to what we have in germany is the number one goal. if i may add one thing, which is kind of outside of my expertise, this has to be coupled with the co shelf being well coming to people of trying to help them of trying to invite them. the country and germany does not have the

greatest tradition here. when we say that we need a gross 1500000 people to immigrate into germany to keep pot 400 k net to stay here. well, we could also work on few people leaving that would certainly also help and i think that's, imagine we can work on this one. yeah, these are all things that have been talked about for a while here and tell me that there's no welcoming enough to, to, to farm works and isn't doing enough to attract them. is another thing that i want to, to, to pick on this mentioned in the reports as well as related to all of this and as a potential reforms to the pension age here in germany. basically, trying to get people to, to work a bit longer when you throw in things like integration and making people work along these a controversial issues as a german government got some, some tough decisions to make this indeed, and it doesn't help to postpone them any for that often their concerns, what's about the political consequences about political radicalization that make came come out of such a decision. the issue is if we raise now,

it will be even more problematic in the future. so thinking about pension reform, we are to stage now we're just working on one margin. so for example of working for longer, if you're healthy, you won't suffice. we have to work on different. i mentioned, we have to get to fund the capital market based component. if to think about indexation, to keep your pensions constant, that different factors with which pensions adjusted to account for change the population. it turns out we have to work with all of them while you know, even was in the cold. so we have some of different views on what should be done exactly how the big message to you is. it's really urgent now. and if you need to work along all of the use all of these channels. otherwise, there's really little hope overcome a long ga that. remember that you do have an economic jim and council of economic experts. and if you want to see entire, as you've us interviewed, you can ask either way you can use as you tube channels. now, with

a world without the internet is getting increasingly hard to imagine. but millions of australians just got an idea of what it might be like. the countries, the 2nd largest mobile network provider expands an unexplained outage nationwide on wednesday and left many of the companies customers feeling completely cut off. despite its bright yellow slogan, it was a big know for optis customers on wednesday. as a nationwide system outage kept you with us locked out of payment systems and even their offices. well, i ton works is that i come into the office because my office a specific gap, which i need to download and these blue too full. and because i can't open the, i'm unable to get actually into the office today. i'm looking for a fax. when you call on crime, with many australians apparently unable to navigate the street. so other parts of that life without this smartphone,

the country's communications minister took on the issue. so what we do know is that this is a deep fault. it has occurred, i think within the network it has wide ramifications across mobile, fixed and broadband services full of just customers. it wasn't the 1st time either one and the list pointing out that outages have occurred too often over the past decades. and it is time that the government steps in to force the telecommunications industry to build redundancy into the networks and systems. meanwhile, up to says, all systems are running again and the respect to yes for their customers. so let's take a look at some of the other global business stories that are making the news. telling technical company by a last 4600000000, yours in the 3rd quarter. last as a partially down to the following price. so controversial, we'd collect life insight biased by seeing an avalanche of low suits relating to

for the welding a frame full test pages that we, we busy making as being all women owned as part of what makes this business special . a few years ago, snobs and his sister's shenika and anita took it over from their parents. all 3 of them used to work in the financial sector. their company services and repairs ships for major clients. when they started out, the sisters lacked self confidence. that meeting with the business coach changed everything a really telling a, you know, we ought to be females and we inhibited otto and probably for 50 minutes of this whining she said that she looked at that and she said, you don't understand what you actually have. you don't know the posting show that you're sitting with and the company that you've what you, what is your name in here?

this is an old who actually born into that home and like within an instant, i'll hold mine say change things to the encouragement of this woman deicide you. for 17 years, she's been coaching women and teaching them how to network their biggest hurdle. it is definitely the patriarchal implement, go into corporate, you know, thing usually paid less if the medical costs, when they become on the company is they raise less money. in fact, in 2022, only 2 percent of all the venture capital that came into the continent with into the hands of c, my fondest. so we think paperless, we raise less, but we're still building businesses. i think we doing more than everybody else. the organization girl hype also wants to encourage more women to enter technical fields . sandra barton, mia has been teaching girls to code for 20 years. she also lends a helping hand in other areas. her daughter, toko,

now runs the coding classes. they've already reached more than a 1000000 girls through their programs. every guy that has gone through gal hype now, should be able to decide, i want to be in tech. yes. and way in how. but at the same time, this patrick, extreme level of them because we have support, grow high recruits their students through workshops and schools with their interest in their programs steadily growing. so from the end of business team here in berlin . but if you do want some more from us, you can always go to your d, w dot com slash business. boy, you can find this on the data and use youtube channel where you can also watch the extended version of that interview with ortho, from the gym and council on economic expensive respects here. the list that you have on. and you can also find us on facebook as data we don't business until next time. the
