according to a government study with britain's business secretary said, the figures show that the u. k. is voluntary approach to equality is working without the need for mandatory quotas as deployed in countries like germany and a reminder of the top business story we are following for you this hour. you s president joe biden has announced sanctions on russia that will go far beyond those used when moscow, annex crimea, in 2014. the move is in response to russia's military escalation against ukraine. the sanctions will target 2 large russian and financial institutions and moscow access to western financing, as well as rational guards and their family. that's all for me in the business team here in berlin for more check us out on our website, d, w dot com backslash business. we're also on the dw news youtube channel, and you can find us on facebook as d w business. come next time i care with oh, in good shape for this episode focuses on tropical diseases. their pathogens, their spreaders, and how researchers are trying to vaccine against malaria has been approved by the world health org

u. k. financial markets. if we until the facade of russian ownership of companies or property, it will start to hurt. and there are press reports here in the u. k. of russian business interests actually contacting the foreign office already to try to make sure that they're not unfairly targeted. as they might see it, some critics of boris johnson say he is exposed because his party has taken in large amounts of donations from russians residing in the country. the government always say that that is perfectly legal if they are british citizens, naturalized citizens and so on. so unclear exactly how far these neck these 1st sanctions are going to go. but it's clear the british government wants to send a strong signal earlier on the health secretary, sadie javin likened the situation to the 1962 cuban missile crisis army. there are a signals from the government here that there could be further military support. they've already sent anti tank weaponry and some training personnel to ukraine. and there are hints now that there could be more supports along the same lines we expect in the year days and weeks to come across. have nadine barber in london? i'm sure we'll talk

u. k. power to target russian businesses and individuals. britain justifies the booth as confronting russian aggression towards ukraine. moscow says it's the actions of the west and their military activities. the brought the situation to this point with nato members continuing their build up in the region. this is probably the most dangerous moment. i would say them in the course of the next few days in what is the biggest security crisis that europe has facebook for decades. and today i agree with the secretary general, a package of support sending troops, planes, and ships to defend nato from north to south. i mean time western media is jumping on the anti rush bandwagon. speculating on moscow's motives at every opportunity. ortiz, danny armstrong takes a look at the most garish examples. the old saying goes, see no evil, hear no evil speak, no evil. but that's definitely not the case with west in mainstream media who strain the eyes and is to detect malice and militancy in everything that russia says or does almost without exception. and that goes doubly. so for when one flat may, a perso

business. i'll see you then. me ah ah ah ah, ah ah hello again. the u. k, the energy prices is deepening. as demand threatens to i pay supply providers are planning to hike rates during peak periods. and the national grid is thinking of tapping electric cars during times of shortfall. it comes as some 22000000 households face steeper utility bills after the regulator raise the energy price comp, or correspondent in london brakes doll down also not topic in the u. k. is energy bills that's at your eyes. 54 percent. come april, but it's absolutely not to get your blood boiling. families could praise pay more at peak times, like when cooking breakfast, for instance, watching tv off to dinner, and all those cups of tea, tea time, despite these premium rates. so the end of the regular to says consumers can save money, it will enable a more efficient, flexible, and greener energy system, which will say billions of pounds per year on all consumers energy bills. currently, most households charge the flat rate for their electricity and gas usage, but now millions of households could see bill. so w

u. k. traffic common to place. so it's our welcome news for now, but it's definitely not plain sailing with the a u. k. economy in the larger context. now to some of the other mobile business stories making news. the white house is warning the chip in history to diversify its supply chain and kate, in case russia retaliate against, threaten us export curve by blocking access to a central materials in many companies. and the semiconductor industry purchase metals and earth from russia and ukraine. california regulators are suing tesla, alleging the e car maker has been discriminating and black employees at the san francisco bay area factory where most of its vehicles are made. the suit alleges the plant is a racially segregated workplace where black workers are subjected to racial slurs and discriminated against and job assignments. and yeah, and it's really are close to signing a trade pact covering manufacturing education and other key sectors. trade talks received to push after the united states, australia, japan, and india plan to set up a so called quad group and response to china's economic and military expansions. mexican president, andras manuel lopez open the door,

say, a making the, of course, the announcement to, to launch his special military operation business said the u. k. rather, boys, johnson has said that they will act decisively. joe biden has said he will have a strong and united response, of course. last but not least on that list of people who have had sanctions. i mean it against him, is marguerite simonian. of course the editor in chief of all he now the lawyers for marguerite sonya and he said that any sanction leveled against her should by no means have any effect on the up the broadcasting of r t. that has been a big debate in parliament and u. k. parliament, about whether to review the broadcasting license on the shores. or johnson said he would leave it up to off. com, where his keys kissed farmer the leader of the opposition was banging the room to have the license taken away from archie. okay, well thanks for coming in. more sanctions are expected later today and to so wondering who else is on that hitler standing? armstrong, thanks for coming in and bringing up speed. well, we cannot cross live to us haymarket. oh scotty. no, he says g

u. k. troops for now. so why do you think boris johnson is deciding to get. busy involved in ukraine right now, and why do you think that he feels like the u. k. should be involved in this situation? is this about loyalty to his ally? well, i think it has loyalty to do with europe. the great britain is one of the leaders of the year dad, but europe is said, stay out of it. you've got french president crone, you've got germany. every country has said a stay out of this for now. let us kind of handle this diplomatically, why, why send in all those additional military support unless you want war or you want to stop war, i believe in peace through strength as well. and i think that this is specifically europe's issue to deal with. but i honestly don't trust germany to be a good arbiter or a good ally and defending europe right now. they are the ones that are allowing the russian oil and gas pipeline to be brought into germany against most people's wishes. and when this happened under ronald reagan, he blew up the oil pipeline. he said, we're not going to be funding na

busy memorial, right? the u. k. government says it will not say sorry after a report reveals it squandered almost 9000000000 pounds on useless and overpriced p . for here, at oddity, we get the streets of london who had the higher ups that take responsibility. and i know because i understand, i think it's a waste of money. why that actually thinking about us? and i do with them. also in the program, the audio sharing site spotify removes another $113.00 episodes of jo robins podcast. it's off of the white house, others the platform to do more about so called covey misinformation. this time the content have nothing to do with life. the city that never sleeps, it's all the international in moscow with a big mix of your top stories and all things in between the book into the program. so the criminal is having a bit of a laugh saying it may change the term, fake news to blue book news, soft or the outlet. and alice to russia had invaded ukraine. a headline was taken down off the he minutes are being up. bloomberg has s

the same time, wealthy russians who either live here in london, or have extensive businesses much negative about the u. k. as in nancy, the largest and most of your package of economic sanctions, the russia has ever seen with new financial measures. we're taking new powers to target russian finance. in addition to the banks, we've already sanctioned these powers. when will they will not totally to exclude russian banks from the u. k. financial them, which is of course by far the largest in you're stopping them from accessing sterling and clearing payments through the u. k. now we're looking here at a 10 point sanctions package that includes acid freezes on some major russian banks, including the 2nd largest state own bank which is known as the t b. major russian companies are also no longer be able to access or raise finance in britian. at the same time, the russian airline era thought will no longer be able to operate and land in the u . k. the sanctions also include the suspension of dual export licenses to russia, and at the same time the export of some high take goods. also yesterday in front of down

targeted at the same time, pushes kosa circle and wealthy russians who either live or have business here in the u. k. take a lesson which will design the u. k. as in nancy, the largest to most of your package of economic sanctions, the russia has oversee with new financial measures. we're taking new powers to target russian finance. in addition to the banks, we've already sanctioned these powers when they will not totally to exclude russian banks from the u. k. financial system, which is a cool swipe all the largest in europe, stopping them from accessing sterling and clearing payments through the u. k. now these unprecedented sanctions will aim according to the british prime minister to hubble the russian economy. you heard there about the banks. they, we have major russian banks that are going to be as had they, they assets frozen amongst them. the 2nd largest state owned bank, which is v t b major russian companies also will no longer be able to finance their, their money here through person, the russian airline error floors will no longer operate and no longer be allowed to land in the u. k. dua

u. k. usually in the form of. busy a foreign currencies in the shape of bombs, especially stock russia from bank rolling this ongoing conflict. oh, so it's been described as being one of the biggest i sold. so suppose on so the only galks live present here, the u. k. that will obviously have billions of dollars worth of their assets here in the british capital. it's believe that as many as a 100 russian only galks my might well find themselves. and the receiving end of this new raft of sanctions from the british government understood that need thanks very much. buckets, welcome to the shop in london now to washington because the us president joe biden is speaking to g 7. allies to come up with a coordinated responds to the russian invasion. earlier, he released this statement. he said, president putin has chosen a premeditated war that will bring a catastrophic loss of life and human suffering. russia alone is responsible for the death and the destruction. this attack will bring and the united states and its allies and

u. k. government are willing to impose sanctions on russian companies and on russian business men. so all eyes will be on bars. johnson's a trip to the ukraine fan of course, that key phone call with vladimir putin to see whether actually the prime minister's more concerned dialogue, or with ratcheting up tensions. former london, mayor ken livingstone told us that this has nothing to do with russia supposed invasion of ukraine and everything with the scandals piling up around. johnson used to being lied to politics all my life. and i don't believe a word that the british government, or the american government is saying about the intentions of putin. if you know that the lead of ukraine is telling the west to sort of wind all this down. i don't feel under threats at all. if we get into sanctions with russia, we will be in a position where it damages many of our businesses, many, perhaps tens of thousands of people lose their job here in this country. and the simple fact is, this is all i think being ran tough by our prime minister bar johnson to distract attention from the scandal h

u. k. foreign secretary is in moscow lives trust is due to whole talk. busy with russian foreign minister. so guy lab rose in the next hour while british prime minister barak johnson is at the nicer headquarters in brussels before leaving for poland. truck is in canada who are protesting against vaccine requirements in pandemic restrictions. a blocking the ambassador bridge. it's a vital border crossing with the u. s. and crucial. so both economies, there are reports. a similar protest convoy is planned in the us. investor fridge is canada busiest link to the united states and accounts for about 25 percent of trade between the 2 countries. and so the blockade poses arrest to supply chains for the auto industry because the bridge of the key conduit for motor vehicles, components, and parts, and delays risk disrupting auto production. we are in close contact. we've been doing a great deal of work on this. alicia wood randall, our homeland security advisor convened a meeting just today. still in the u. s. and several democratic lead states, a easing pandemic res

shot he had, was dashti in london now because while the top diplomats were busy here in moscow parish don't send it. but the u. k. prime minister met with nato secretary genuine in brussels. so one message has come out of that meeting sharia. whoa, even though british officials are wanting russia to stop the cold war rhetoric, it seems the more of was, is really happening in the west between nato and indeed, boris johnson in that joint press conference earlier today. words including the most dangerous moment, the biggest security crisis. indeed, the stakes are high and that nato must prepare for the worst. that the words in that joint conference in the h q in brussels, while there warning of fear of an eminent russian attack. the number of russian forces is going up. the warning time for a possible attack is going down. this is probably the most dangerous moment. i would say them in the course of the next few days in what is the biggest security crisis that europe has facebook for decades. and today i agreed with the secretary general, a package of support sending troops claims and ships to defend nato from nort

u. k. when particularly their citizens in terms of paying for energy . yes of course are. busy already your re, your energy prices are rising up. the are already demonstration in brussels for example, of, for citizens against beast and inaji. pricey. so too high and or any restriction in the sector will make your things worse. but i think there is no real eternity for a for importing or. busy russian garza into you are, we are somber diversification a proposition. so. so of course, from united states which we risk crises who like to explore to shave gas and to replace her russian gas. but he's not going to be enough under germany also, as a economic power, only been a european union. the main economic power cannot avoid the importation of russian gas. also, it will do be a very bad jeopardy car sign, because so far or germany always. so try to maintain communication line with russia and especially we've entered she cooperation because already in the us body chic during your or the quarter war. busy germany imported russian, an oil from u. s. is saw and it was a way to ease the

whereas the business sagos of russia and the u. k. continue mutually beneficial, practical corporation, trying to find additional ways to invest resources and money and a mutually beneficial manner. of course, these positive trends could be facilitated if we resumed as soon as possible the activities of the inter governmental committee on trade and investment, as well as the high level energy dialogue and russia is ready for the resumption of such activities. there is another positive example, namely the dynamics of our cultural and humanitarian ties, which are based upon long standing resilient traditions. in 20192020, we successfully held the events of the russia, u. k. cross year of music. whereas we have scheduled the cross here of knowledge for 2020 to 2023. we most certainly support such contacts between the civil society of our 2 countries. but so far we have not discussed these matters. i do hope that we will have a chance to talk about the bilateral agenda at lunch. we have not yet discussed that because madam secretary from
