we of course have to see siemens has. we also have to take a look at the out of german companies if he pulls out. just as turnover was 87000000000 euros last year the deal that he could pull out of represents your 0.02 percent that you've given him huge publicity right now is that a sort of cheap ticket for greenwashing i do think that it's a lot of pressure actually because he said that he he has looked into this matter personally didn't know about it until but now he has the pressure and she said to make the steel. it was a mistake in july to sign this deal and now we told him that he can't make the 2nd mistake and stick it into. if you know the. couple of figures 450 new coal paul plants across africa south africa produces 250000000 tons of coal every year. botswana is just discovered what the largest cold is deposits. billions of tons mozambique has sought the increased production they have the stuff they want to get it out of the ground to increase due to better their economies do you think they'll listen to you. fre

siemens was awarded a contract country. siemens was awarded a co ntra ct to country.nology for a railway line connecting the outback to the australian seaboard. in india, massive changes are taking place in the telecommunications market. in a 3—way battle for the population of1 billion, it is the customers who are 110w billion, it is the customers who are now slapped with higher prices. monica miller explains. india is well‘s second largest telecom market and has some of the cheapest mobile plans on the planet. 1 gigabyte costs 26 cents, that is compared to $12 and the united states, $16 in south korea and $75 in zimbabwe. but two of the market leaders, vodafone and et al. are facing a mountain of debt. —— airtel. allah during 2013 and 2017, they had to pay a lot. they haven't actually made a sufficient return of investment on those large investments. these companies also owe the government a whopping $13 billion in licensing fees and taxes. the indian head of vodafone says this situation is crucial and they may have to shut down if the indian government doesn't help.

siemens has given itself an enormous keek in the guts today it has made a disastrous decision for its own reputation and its hollow commitment to the paris agreement goes to the heart of that the development of the adani coal mine is completely inconsistent in spirit with the paris agreement so big is belief that siemens can actually think it is committed to paris while it is supporting the construction of these coal mine the vast majority of australians are against the adani mine going ahead and particularly at the moment in the context where as you say a stranger is being ravaged by terrible unprecedented fires which are themselves being made worse and generated by global warming which the scientists are being very very clear. about and that is driven in turn by coal above all else so for siemens to be supporting the construction of these adani mine at the same time as a strategy is literally on fire is simply appalling corporate practice. now people in haiti have paid to the more than 300000 people who were killed in the devastating earthquake 10 years ago. force in the capital por

awareness and profit margins and you actually caught up with a representative of a big company of siemens. that's right as c.e.o. in nigeria. was talking to me earlier on and i specifically asked her about that demand by gate to tune back to stop investment in this case in fossil fuels immediately we know that siemens has a big and bold investments in fossil fuel still and i asked her what she makes a very quest like that. i think it's it's a fair request coming from gets a term because that is what she's she's driving for its consciousness are on climate change up on the carbon footprint creating a sustainable future for the for future generations how we see that in siemens we take that very seriously as well and we are at the moment as the energy company very active in the education value chain seeing how we can optimize that value chain to make it more green and climate change friendly we are very involved in various groups that are assessing the impact of new technologies that could transform that space we're looking at hydrogen based fuel solutions for the pa generation space however

there were no words once siemens made clear that it would participate in the controversial adani coal project the firm was met with a germany wide 24 hour silent vigil by youth activists movement fridays for future . the same activists made siemens boss joe kayser waver over the project in the 1st place then came his answer contractual obligations. kayser says his hands were forced by obligations to a legally binding contract and to customers fridays for.

way too much as far as fossil fuels go the black rock is still waist deep in fossil fuels and that siemensis really not helping the planet all in supporting a stray the biggest coal mine to date one of the biggest in the world a project that will see huge amounts of c o 2 polluting the planet. or i've been physical in davos will come back to him in just a moment. now corruption is a daily part of life in many countries around the world but doesn't have to be that's according to transparency international which has released its new annual corruption perceptions index reports it hopes that by doing so it can draw more attention to the issue. people around the world are showing their rage at corrupt officials and political systems they're protesting on the streets in haiti in lebanon in israel and romania corruption is a problem worldwide say experts no nation is completely free of it the berlin based ngo transparency international ranks countries in its corruption perceptions index on a scale of 0 to 100. the less corrupt a country is seen to be the higher it score the new index published to
