it's not a big deal you might think, but if you did think about, then you probably live outside europe because passport free travel has been pretty much the norm here for decades. the big issue is migration in regular migration and what to do about that and how to stop the file right? and the migrant alternative for gemini ponti from becoming even more popular. i'm feel go and building. this is the day the event we will extend of temporarily into a new border control or joe mcglenn border. douglas of these kind of actions unacceptable components point of view. this controls must be a necessary ends proportion. so as such, this type of measures should remain tricky. exception. we must reduce the number of

new arrivals here because we're already stretched to capacity ottoman pocket. this is the end of the call when you're open to sign them for the 3. it is the end of the shingles. the in the opening bought us for the economy also on the day massive financial penalties for massive us tech companies in europe . the european union has a landmark court ruling as part of its f as to writing johns like apple and google . the prevailing believe was that digital companies should be left to operate freely. they were seen as, as innovative as the case was symbolic because it demonstrated that even the most powerful tech companies could be held accountable. welcome to the day, germany's coalition government suffered a set back today. it was trying to secure opposition support for its efforts to

clamp down on a regular migration of 3 potters, and child specialties. governments have been scrambling to address this issue in the wake of a deadly stabbing last month after 2 months that the suspect was rejected. asylum seekers with links to is live mistakes, treatments and, and who was supposed to have been reported. migration was already a hot button, political issue here in germany and has fueled the rise of the fall. right. and the immigration. i asked the party it strong showing in recent states elections as per pound main street pauses, including the conservative opposition to coal for tougher loss. today the conservative quick across policy talks saying the government's ideas don't go far enough. meanwhile, balance plans to expand controls to all of its land board as a spock and a backlash from germany's neighbors. i'm from the u. of the german police carrying out random checks on the border with austria. sites like this will

become more common from next monday. as tighter controls come into force on all of germany's land borders, but the new measures are already under scrutiny from the european union. the commission position is, is very clear. so this needs to be done in line with the saying and board dis code . so this can be a possibility, but of course this controls must be necessary and proportion. and so as such, this type of measures should remain strictly exception. neighboring poland found harsher words for berlin's new restrictions. they're going to put you on your so these kind of actions are unacceptable from pulled into point of view. the gift of, i have no doubt that it is german domestics policies of people that just liked it as hard in english and not our own policy against illegal migration at our own borders. and you know, somebody to go, but it's really going even get up to you unless you're going to. the german

government is under pressure domestically. after a series of islam is linked terror attacks including a knife rampage, and the western city is only which killed 3 people. the suspected attacker was a syrian asylum seeker slated for deportation to bog area, or had already registered for asylum. germany's interior minister, nancy fraser defended the new measures some slices on the we also need the ability to be put back at the extended borders, which is why we believe we must continue to take action. that this is absolutely necessary in order to further reduce executive migration, something for the government to political opponents. the temporary restrictions don't go far enough. the conservatives the far right and the far left, the harsher crack down. and what is shaping up to be one of the hardest testing for berlin, shaky governing coalition. let's pick up

a couple of those points with political correspondent lee on a fund. how much time the welcome many um, so we have the conservative opposition, c, d, u c. s. you will hear a lot of tools for the governments over these proposals today. what did they feel was missing as well? so essentially what was missing for the cd. you see is you was a proposal by the german government that would turn people who wanted to apply for asylum in germany. wait right at germany borders now it's important to note that it's very questionable of whether such a proposal would be in compliance with you. law am, but the cdsi is you lawmaker said that the proposals that the government did show them just weren't going far enough and wouldn't actually lead to an effective reduction off the number of irregular migrants coming into germany. that's. that's what they said. now in order to get some context to the proposals that the government did make one, there were the border checks, the expansion of border checks,

border controls at all of to all of jeremy's land borders. and then secondly, you know, the german government proposed a way for um, for asylum seekers to make sure that when a person tries to enter germany who says he or she wants to apply for side of majority germany that there will be checks and that will happen pretty quickly, so sort of in the area of the board are still in the course of a couple of weeks. where are these people will be held in detention centers or other fields? facilities with very strict control. and where basically you, jeremy does a check whether that person has already applied for asylum in another you state. because that is sort of the e u low of the dublin regulation that a person needs to apply for side of in the country off that you were 1st sort of a rice on. so if, if i'm a new regular migraines and i go through all these checks that the german border, i may decide that i should have applied elsewhere. what happens to me,

what do i do? exactly, and then you know that germany, germany basically wants to send you back to the country where you 1st are right now this under these dublin, you regulations only goes, you know, it requires sort of a formal procedure. you as the regular to buyer and a half the rights also, you know, to, to, to, to have a say is it's like a former legal procedure and then it needs to require sort of a consent. also member states where you 1st arrived. so in many cases, this is leo agrees, the sort of the border states of the european union. and now this is sort of a form procedure. and what the cd you see is you wanted was for that to happen very quickly and not go through that formal procedure. okay, so what are the refrain? unions, articles of faith is there's notion of passport free travel, free movements of people within the bar. well, brussels allow them to put up the barricades like this. well,

i mean uh state to a part of michigan area which is basically this, this area of free travel across borders. do have the right to introduce border checks, but they have to be temporary. they have to be sort of a measure of last resort and only in exceptional circumstances, candles and mercedes introduced these board checks. and now we for is that the european commission has already cautioned germany that this is the should be temporary measure. and the measure of last resort, i'm, but i mean, we do have to state that germany already have these border controls in place on for if it's land borders and it's now expanding them. okay, talk us through the figure of literally because it's hard to see how building can convincing the argue that these measures unnecessary now because a few 1000 people arriving in on a regular matter when 2015. so the country accepts move in amelia. exactly. i mean, we've seen that's the number off asylum applications has been down since 2015,

2016. you mentioned that but, but that is exactly. so it's a bigger context for what is being discussed as this backlash that has been building in germany that has fueled the growth of fi ride parties, especially the alternative for germany party, the bigger political context as also to regional elections that talk. so that if the winning one of them and coming in 2nd and the other, you know, migration has been sort of at the top of them, of voters concern. also because of these debates that really have been driven by the sd in the last couple of weeks. but, but now you know, the governing coalition is sort of under, under a pressure to deliver, wants to show that it's taking a harder stands on a regular migration. ok, thanks for walk us through that. i may have the dw political correspondence that any fund homestar to

separate judgments, any was highest clauses ordered us 10, johns apple and google to pay out billions. they are repeating court of justice rule that appleton despite 13000000000 euros impact taxes over to i think the decision of a lower court. separately, the court confirmed a 2400000000 your find for google over the search engines, a breach of a you anti trust rules. the, the, you repeat in court of justice delivers a bombshell decision. and so the judges ruled in favor of the european commission in 2 cases against protect giants, apple and google. the cases, consent fed competition, abusive market power, and massive tax avoidance. apple had negotiated an extremely low tax rate of 0.005 percent in e u. member states ireland, where the company has a 0 pay and headquarters on 1000000 in profits. it only had to pay 50 years in

texas. european commission classified the agreement as illegal state aid and demanded 13000000000 euros in back taxes from apple. with this rolling, apple now has to pay today is a big win for european citizens and for tax justice. and it's encouraging. it's encouraging for us to do more the commission will continue to work on home full tax competition and aggressive tax planning both in terms of legislative proposals, but also enforcement. google was also put in its place by the top european court. the company must pay a fine of 2400000000 euros. the judges concluded google had abused its market dominance by favoring its own products over those of competitors. the fine may be pocket change to the company, but the ruling also opens the door to civil law suits against the search engine.

and the dispute between the commission and google is not over yet. so the rulings are still pending in other cases of the. all right, let's look at this was in a free does she's chief technology correspondence that to us news website to access and the joins us from san francisco, a welcome to the w. let's start with the money. i make it to just under 40. uh huh . $1000000000.00 and backpacks is an apple has to pay the google finds about $2700000000.00. and the report that they're talking about just this is just some change that to beat to me may sound like you've noticed the mountains all the way to these tech be a month. they, they really aren't. i mean, obviously, you know, apple would rather not pay those taxes. uh, they certainly structured this deal with ireland in hopes of not paying these kinds of taxes. so i think they're disappointed, i'm sure. but, you know,

with most of these cases, the question is, is it a deterrent? will it change the way they do business in both this apple and google case? i think probably not. i think apple will, like most companies look to if it can get favorable packs positioning, do so. and similarly the question with google and that's much more related to conduct and how it behaves in its core products. i think the goal isn't just to recruit money. it's to change the way that they do business to open the door for greater competition. and that's where i think that you have struggled to have the impact it wants to have. the weird thing about the apple ruling is an island and now gets billions in back taxes that he doesn't want. why? well, i don't think it doesn't want the money. i'm sure it'd be plenty happy to have the money. but what it would like to do the whole reason it structured the deal with apple is it like to use tax policy to attract the tech townlin i wanted to the country and i think this is a blow to that. so it's not that ireland doesn't want the money. every government

wants the money, but ireland did say, and by this deal was saying, we're willing to take less than taxes if we can have companies bring their tax and other businesses to the country. and the us saying, no, you can't use tax policy in that way. okay. so the use as these cases are about holding a big tax, accountable. took us through some of the reaction that and so they can valley i think this is one of those things that really illustrates the difference between the way that silicon valley perceives the universe. and the way that the you does, because this may be a landmark huge ruling in europe. and it certainly is in some barely on the radar screen here in the us. again, these aren't big dollar figures for the companies involved and they're not changing their conduct. and i think when it comes to regulatory action,

i think the kinds of regulatory action that tends to make the tech giants really wake up and take notice, or when they have to change their conduct versus when they have to pay their fines . after years of finding them, right. sorry, do you really think but, but regardless of the fine, so one side, do you think that these the fact that they have been found in preacher of these laws plus the massive funds you think they will google and apple, they won't just carry on the way they've been going, so for the most part, i mean in the apple case, you know, they'll have to pay whatever taxes they have to pay. and maybe they will pay higher taxes in the u. then they did before. it doesn't really influence the way they do business as a tax write as a tech company. in the google case, i think far more consequential are if they have to change the way that they prioritize things. i don't think they're going to change it just to avoid future fines. i think they're going to have to be rulings that make them do business differently. not just find them in court rulings. i've taken a bit of

a shine off the news. an apple wanted us to be talking about this week. the launch of it shiny new apples, 16 iphone. i've seen it. what did you think of it? i did. i was in cupertino yesterday for the launch. in many ways it's similar to other products they've had. it's not that different from last year as i phone, but there are a few things that make it different. but the narrower basil is narrower. borders means you get more screen on the phone, there's a bigger battery. those are things that people do notice over time. the one that i find most noticeable is the camera button, and it's not just a button that launches the camera and takes a picture, although it does it. but it's very touch sensitive so you can use it to control things like aperture, depth of field focus. zoom and i think those features will be appreciate it. i think the hope was that the more of the a i features would be available at launch. and as i wrote today for actually is, i think the,

the big news is it's going to take longer for those features to roll out. and then of course apple inside iphone in the ipad, they aren't even bringing those a features to europe because of concerns over regulatory issues, all kinds. so it sounds like you, you, you really don't think that it's, even though it's, it's shiny and you, it's not that big a deal. i mean, it's always the case that you're trying to will people who phone is a couple years old. so we often in the tech world like to compare it to what came out last year, but really you're trying to go for that market of people whose phone is a couple years old. is it enough to upgrade? i think for some it will be it's not a massive change. i think if people were looking for massive new hardware shift, they probably are going to wait a year. but if your battery is getting, you know, a little bit less performing than it was and the phones a little slower, i think there may well be enough things to get at least some of the people they hope to upgrade. i don't think they will get the big draw of people that just want

the new a i features because most of that is a promise of things that are still did come. whether in some cases in a month or 2, and in some cases into next year, i think people wait until the features are available to decide to upgrade for those reasons. okay, fast, nice thing titles for the well, we'll go through that in a free from excess dot com. thank you so much. thank you. now let's go into space for civilian as to notes. have been popped on a daring mission. only today, even most companies space ex most. it's a large door and mission from nasa's kennedy space center in florida. the full strong crew is traveling further in devices space and humans have ventured since the apollo moon landings office century ago. the crew includes ability, they attacked entrepreneur who's part funding the mission. i'm a jew to perform the 1st of us baseball conducted by private citizens. we can see

the crew and joining us have a look at this. we have a space expert, keith cowan, who's edison of nasa, watch dot com, a welcome back to the w k. so is this where we are now? can anyone launch a space mission if they've got enough money? welcome to the 21st century. i mean, it was a, it used to be, you have the be a govern government employee for a giant country to go into space. and now you've got a lot of entrepreneurs who become multi 1000000 years of 1000000000 years may be truly nurses. and they grew up that i'm, i'm based on the decisions but they grew up watching a lot of science fiction and they don't know any better than to try and make it real. and they've got the resources to do it. in most cases are more money to play with in many countries. space programs. so factor that in. and if you could write a check for a $100000000.00 or $200000000.00, and it's got the skills, youtube got outer space. all right, i'll check my bank,

my bank balance. i'm just focus through who is the bill? that's true. so who's on board? i will we got you. you mentioned before. you've got jared, who's the billionaire. you've got scott, who's the former air force guys. and he said, sharon indiana both of whom are space, ex employees. jared is going to go to a space, walk in their brand new space to that space, execute help space x to develop. but also sarah, who works for space x, well, actually trains people to fly in the space, ex spacecraft. she's going to do a tube. so now you've got not only the person who trains asked or not, but is going to go to space walk, say she's been in the space to. so what better teacher can you have and she's young, she's got like, decades ahead of her. so, you know, we're getting just new class of people who get to go to space as part of their job early in their career and they come back and their evangelist. so they want more people to go up. so it's self propagating what's, what's involved in

a space. we'll just talk through what they actually do. this is day 3 of the mission i understand or yeah, and what they're doing is they're going in a special orbit and they'll actually go even higher and they'll be further from her than any human has been since i was in high school, 1972. and that's important unit of itself. they're going to radiation belt so they will get 3 months worth of space there should radiation dosage in weeks. so you got a factor that and there's a little wrist. but what they're going to do, and i'm literally holding something up that i got as a 7 year old and 1962, it's a capsule and it's a shape. it's got a hatch and people inside and the way they used to go outside the space walks wasn't within their last, they would open the hatch. everybody had a space suit on and one of them would go outside. do their thing and come back if that's exactly what they're going to be doing now, except where is this of switches? we know a spacecraft reside pads and touch panels. it can fly itself,

and the spaces we have are far more, you know, able to do things. and the things you do when you're outside are much more complex . so it's, you know, it's, something's old, something's new, something's tried and something, something's true, okay? but the work itself, i may go out and do what us. all right, look, you know i, i can wait was draining. so for a few seconds. so i have big idea what that's like, and i've done the center 2 inches, but the diving underwater in a very heavy suit was probably the closest thing. that's all the train. yes or not . but you open the hatch and you go outside and now any motion on your part to push away your entire body. go off so you have to be each other because you otherwise you float away. but it's very freedom that when you are weightless, it's very freeing gives you can do just about anything. i'm moving around on purpose. and if you looked out the are some people say,

oh wow. and some people get disoriented. so there's a very big exposure thing that happens to you when you're out there and i've had friends, you've done this and they say that they realize, oh yeah, i have things to do when he turn towards the spacecraft and the things that we just want to keep wanting to have a little time to just look at the earth and you know that's built it. i mean everybody goes, does a space, walk your human, you will have to look down at the earth and appreciate it. so that's always sort of factored into the timeline that they fall. oh, that's going to be a heck of a selfie as nice. listen, this is the 2nd time to get the plumber is still emission off the ground. today's launch was postponed from august. what happened back then as well it had to do with the there was a bit of a, an issue with one of the pumps. but you've been in the rock and they had to bring it down and work on it. but that was fixed easily. it's very busy in florida right now, spring and space. x is launching rockets, one sometimes to a day. and there's sort of a lineup of people who are going to go somewhere. and when they have to go and you

know, that delay caused them to pop out of one and look at that kid. if they didn't take off in the next few days, they might have had to wait a longer time because i don't watch pads that they're going from. has to be re fixed to watch a bigger rocket. so it's got a set of problems the jupiter. so it's scheduling, that's what it really boils down to. but even though you have a schedule, it's whether it's always was quick. what came about the plan for getting them down safely? as space x as long as drag and spacecraft many dozens of times. now it's pretty much everybody's my old capsule. it just seems towards the earth fires, incentives to slow down and then it just comes in pair shoes, come out, it lands, they pull it out of the water, they put it in the ship and everybody gets out and photos sent for those that are great talking to you as of a case case challenge, nasa watch dot com. thank you so much. my pleasure. and

that's is that you can follow out to him on social media at the w and use lasers headlines around the clock as ever on the w a dot com on the d w. and i'm from the entire team. i'm today, i'm suspending part of your day with us. a good the

. what's the holdings, the hydrogen? the use guessing involved by packing the sustainable gas about the cost out way to benefit the energy sold is mostly on this thing. and only a few level player 3 the amendment process, the aid in germany next, double the,

the conflict. try see around every single connection mapped out shows the geopolitical reality. beyond the board is what makes things the way they are. all the solutions mapped out, navigating a changing world. now on youtube, think the forward is twice think ahead or would find out the box on your but always remember to think for yourself. we all had to sign. it

was incredibly like providing you with free information. dw made for mind for a certain own, for making a slush, but from beatrice to towns and cities. popular destinations are being increasingly inundated. presidents are fed up and taking to the streets to protest the solutions over tourism. on the italian island of philadelphia to government and the tourism industry happened busy looking for new ideas also and the citizen fast tracking the baltic nations integration into the you.
