Yes does this mean the podcast are turning into a media force in the us. Well it already is to a certain degree all around the globe purport costs are in general rather simple to produce technically at least its not that expensive and its also rather easy to distribute them through the internet but the field of thought because its very crowded and its not that easy to really make a lot of money out of the old punch cards so in that sense joe rogan is at least for now pretty unique but if you look at the overall industry ad revenue from parked cars in the u.

Lets go to germany now where dorothy bond has told shareholders that theyll have to wait another 2 years before seeing any dividends at the annual general meeting c. E. O. Christian savings said germanys biggest lender is in good financial shape but has to push ahead with restructuring to bolster profitability our financial correspondent Chelsea Delaney sent us this from frankfurt. This year was supposed to be different for each bank after 5 consecutive losses the german lender hope to finally got a profit this year after announcing a massive restructuring last year but the Current Crisis that all into question. Its biggest wary a wave of customer defaults the biggest problem for Deutsche Bank in all banks is really going to be bad loans so theyve set aside about 500000000 euros to account for people not paying back mortgages people not paying back debt that they owe but they likely already see more trouble ahead on that front as more businesses do go bankrupt at the Bank Shareholders meeting today c. E. O. Christiane saving admitted that corona virus would have a disruptive and past which a bank has restarted the process of cutting 18000 jobs and shareholders will lose out for the time being the size of a life unfortunately that means this year and next we will not be recommending the payment of dividends. To georgia banks make it off easy compared to other banks at least you know credit has set aside 1300000000 to cover bad debt in the u. S. For nearly 40000000 people have lost their jobs j. P. Morgan has more than 8300000000. 00 stockpiled to cover losses but even that may not be enough as the Global Economy has for recession. Or lets take a look at some of the other business stories making headlines around the world an expresso forces soldier and his son have been arrested in the u. S. For assisting former nissan boss carlos ghosn and his escape from japanese custody go on was stuck out of house arrest last year flown out of japan and into beirut where he remains he faces charges related to underreporting his income and denies all accusations. Consumer products maker johnson and johnson will stop selling its how based on baby powder in the United States and canada it said the man had fallen amid questions about the powder safety and a barrage of legal challenges the plaintiffs have claimed for decades the traces of us best those in the talk causes cancer. Aerospace engine maker rolls royce plans to cut some 9000 jobs globally as it grapples with the collapse of air travel due to the pandemic a Company Spokesman said the British Government is ready to support the sector as well as help those affected by the layoffs. Greeces thats restart its tourism season on june 15th and gradually restore International Flights beginning in july rather beginning july 1st to bolster its economy the countrys tourism minister said a list of nations resuming flights would be announced by the end of this month last year greece welcomed over 34000. 00 visitors. And germany is moving to tighten regulation of its Meat Industry after a flare up in corona virus infections in several slaughterhouses sparked a storm of criticism and the government today agreed on a draft law that would force meat plants to stop hiring foreigners on short Term Contracts the move is in response accusations that Eastern European workers were being exploited to keep the price of meat low. In germany meat has always been a Serious Business the average german consumes more than 50 kilos of it per year over half the population eats meat every day to keep their product cheap firms rely on cheap labor in particular workers from Eastern Europe they often live in cramped accommodation and in the factories they work in close proximity that has led to breaks more than 600 Meat Processing workers have tested positive for the disease now the government says its time to take action. And Meat Industry is an important sector country. In germany for a Business Model which relies on exploitation and risk spreading this pandemic. Slaughtering and butchering will now have to be done by employees not sub contractors that should make it easier to enforce hygiene rules and checks on meat plants will be more frequent the measures could help improve things during the pandemic but some say what is needed is a more profound change in the industry. Im. Focused on producing ever more ever more cheaply the conditions animals are camped in and the continual postponement of improvements for animals and all that now needs to be addressed. Higher standards could mean higher prices but would consumers be willing to pay. To pay more actually yes i mean i dont want to have low standards i dont want people working in dangerous conditions if enough germans think the same one result of the corona pandemic could be a healthier and safer Meat Industry in the future. And saying in the Food Industry barton is one of the few german asparagus farmers who invested in an automatic harvesting machine years ago other growers used to tease him but this year his decision is paying off because travel restrictions have curbed the number of Migrant Workers available for harvest and a berlin plan to fly them in hasnt quite panned out for everyone. Montane vonda is lucky compared to many other german asparagus farmers hes invested in a machine that allows him to harvest asparagus with far fewer field hands many of whom have stayed away this year during the 1st 2 weeks we couldnt have started harvesting without the machine the crew that said they were coming this year never showed up and. Without our machine we would have had to delay the asparagus harvest for 2 weeks but the asparagus doesnt stop growing and that would have been a disaster for us for survival so the farmer deployed his asparagus harvester the construction lifts the entire mound where the asparagus is growing onto a Conveyor Belt a crew of harvest workers collects the white shoots up top. The sifted earth is then formed into a mound again behind the machine so that new asparagus can grow. The occasional special flights with farm hands from romania do arrive in germany. But the paperwork alone costs the farmers both time and money for the organ is it still one of on the farms are responsible for the bureaucracy and for making sure that everything runs smoothly theyre responsible for Health Checks and transport and farmers are the ones who book the Seasonal Workers he says on the alberts cuffed. But there arent enough of the much needed laborers about half of the existing demand on workers according to the Farmers Association makes it to farms in germany and students working part time dont help much either the perils of farming asparagus this year have been too difficult to calculate he called one up on me i think its the corona pandemic has shown us what happens when workers dont show up. And the situation is going to get worse in the near future so. The machine said wagner back 80000. 00 euros hes had it now for 10 years and its paid for itself many times over. Its quite likely that harvesters like these will be a more common sight in germanys fields in the near future.
