Germany. Where exactly. Are no laws are still sure history. Travel extremely worth a visit. Citi group names james frey sure its next c. E. O. The Top Executive becomes the 1st woman to head a wall street bank swishy have company anytime soon both war correspondent and your. Also want to show the evil builds race heats up g. M. Announcing another major electric Vehicle Partnership this time with startups. And European Companies complain about bullying from beijing this efficiency refusing to let many of their. Qtips and staff back into china for work after being expelled from the pandemic broke out. Blue and welcome to the show im susan beers in berlin its good to have you with Us Citi Group has named jane frazier as its next chief executive making her the 1st woman to lead a top wall street bank frazier takes the reins of the 4th biggest u. S. Bank by assets joining a group of wall street c. E. O. s that has been exclusively male and white she was head of Global Consumer banking at citi since the 2 rather 29. 00 team and was long considered a top candidate for the top job will start a c. E. O. In february but join city groups board of directors immediately. And lets go to court our financial correspondent in new york for more on this. Yen so frazier is the 1st but how long will she be the exception can we expect any other women to assume a top position in the coming months years what or whats what we see we look ahead. Well i would say its going to be a long stretch to even see much more women coming up at the top of the helm of the big u. S. Financial institutions covering wall street now for more than 20 years and besides that there are hardly any women on the 4th and York Stock Exchange but even in the boardrooms and specially when it comes to the c. E. O. Position so this is a new one its not that difficult as a woman to become a job on wall street or at one of the big banks but at one point and of talked to many women all over the years in the financial industry at some point its really getting tricky to serve the male colleagues theres such a Strong Network so who knows maybe at some point we see we will see another woman at the top of the big u. S. Financial institution but i wouldnt say that this is the big new trend on wall street are you and so we talked about frazier but what about the industry itself what kind of challenges is she going to face at citi group briefly if you could well clearly i mean one of the big challenges that were going to see not just for the city but for a lot of the big Financial Institutions its huge debts debt was the government that was called peroration but also Consumer Debt is on record highs so we will have to see if there will be some delinquencies and we also might see that some people might not be able to pay their mortgage any longer so thats clearly going to be one of the big challenges the near term everything related to the pond demick and then on top of it we are in the mall is 0 percent Interest Rate environment so thats also challenging for Financial Institutions but overall wall street seems to be optimistic that jane fraser might be up to the task right corner with the latest from new york thank you. Well its the 2nd electric deal for General Motors in less than a week this time a 2000000000. 00 agreement with a start up nickel to produce electric pick up and supplied batteries the shares of both Companies Put the pedal to the metal after the announcement what is nicola is look at the other Company Named after a certain mr tesla. This is it headquarters this so proclaim disruptor of the Transportation Industry greets visitors with a variety of slick and shiny vehicles in the entry. So called big trucks away from their off road week its all there its show and tell what could be all rather what will be in the near future this man. Energy Technology Company that happens to make really cool big vehicles this is travel milton the founder of nikola 38 years old and worth an estimated 4500000000. 00. Company considers himself a gifted man with plenty of ego and smarts of course primarily he just got lucky he says. Started this it was it was very risky you know the odds of starting a company and succeeding are always against you and the odds of starting a company and turning it into a multibillion Dollar Organization worldwide is like winning the lottery 2 times in a row perhaps not only militants relentless determination but also his ability to make others buy into his idea or. To get to where it is now you start to realize that your least important person in the room it takes a long time takes a lot of you have to be able to go. At this point in time with just around 400 employees still a Small Company has great ambitions milton and his team do not just want to disrupt but transform the trucking and Transportation Industry into an environmentally friendly business and not only in america but also in europe and around the world. Destroyed diesel. Diesel is dead. Milton is creating operating and betting on a unique Business Model that he wants to apply to the trucking and Transportation Industry hes now multibillion dollar startup doesnt simply plan on selling cool vehicles powered by hydrogen and batteries nicola wants to be a 0 emissions one stop shop for truckers and Transportation Companies how when you buy a truck all your fuel is covered all your service your main its all provided by us so thats the advantage that he has were going to be building 50 hydrogen stations throughout europe and not just netted a big quarter for his company well build and deliver up to 2500 electric garbage trucks for america 2nd largest Waste Management company when nicolae needed analysts and perhaps some investors complaint the reason so far only really sold t. Shirts and pence but no trucks other vehicles or hydrogen stations and maintenance packages. Will be one of the top 5 companies in the world but remember need is a start up maybe its past is not long enough to say definitively more about its future than perhaps promising. Lets go over to china now where a new survey suggests officials theyre using the pandemic to up the pressure on european Firms Companies with workers in the country told the European Union chamber of commerce in china the beijing is frequently refusing to grant managers and workers entry the findings come just days after president xi jinping promised the Business Community to continue to open the economy to the world. In late may several 100 german executives and their families who had been forced to leave china due to the pandemic were granted special permission to return to their workplaces their. But it was anything but a sign of getting back to normal. Many European Companies in china are still waiting for their employees to return but chinese authorities are refusing to let them in again in a survey by the European Chamber of commerce in china at the end of july 13rd of the company said that none of their foreign employees had been allowed to return around one in 5 companies stated that only some of their expats had been able to come back and only 17 percent said all employees had been permitted to return to china. The European Chamber sees this as a further sign of tightening restrictions against European Companies. Almost half of those questions said the pressure came mainly from the Chinese Government 44 percent said the tone of Chinese Media had become more strident and more than a quarter also it had negative experiences with the communist party. While europes borders are largely open to chinese investors the hurdles for entering the Chinese Market are getting higher and higher those who manage to do so are often hindered by unfair Business Conditions in the country one big exception is the Auto Industry this is where cooperation has been improving for the benefit of both sides the European Chamber says this should serve as a model for other sectors. Earlier we spoke to your vote hes head of the European Union chamber of commerce in china and we asked him whether the continent was any closer to an investment deal with china. Well i mean we had many promises of we had baby steps and opening up what we really need is that deal is something that science it delivered something that is committing china i mean im talking about the Investment Agreement which will be discussed on monday between now im going to madeleine xi jinping in this china summit so the way yes we heard many words of opening up we call it sometimes problems for peak because they didnt really translate into actions right now to solve the other business stories making news.

To me as africa coming up on the program fears of a looming ecological disaster in east africa water levels are rising in kenyas Great Rift Valley now there are fears too small and lakes could merge threatening hundreds of wildlife species. And getting into a safe in its face every day for people commit suicide in kenya ill be talking to the senator working on a bill she hopes will save lives in the country. And im christine want to welcome to day to really nice africa its good to have your Company Rising water levels in lakes along kenyas Great Rift Valley have forced thousands of people from their homes now one of the lakes filled with unhealthy salty and Alkaline Water is swelling so much it threatens to contaminate a fresh water lake nearby lake by ringle and lake bell gloria used to be 20 kilometers apart but now theyre so close they could merge posing a further risk to wildlife for residents local businesses and farming communities the rising water levels have been devastating once a thriving holiday destination this hotel is now submerged under water. Memories over to left for her telly and james whose business has been all but destroyed event of the big this is all gone. We dont have to love men so much but actually i have to say it is painful to see the properties go. Its not just the buildings suffering from the rising water levels. Thousands of people have been displaced families are being forced off their land and losing their livelihoods. Well im not im going to go away when the rain started we did not expect the water to rise this much and get to our phones ive lost my grass farm which was my main source of income and ive lost my homestead too i now have to start all over again at new grounds for now i live with my son close by but even that we think the water will get to us conservationists a heavy rains have caused the lakes in the area to swell but theyre also filling up with soil washing into the water from the nearby hills where deforestation has closed to roshan lake the ring go provides Drinking Water and irrigates land for tens of thousands of people its expanded by 60 percent in the last 7 years and now it could be contaminated by the Alkaline Waters of nearby lake but korea its a particular threat for the wide variety of wildlife with birds fish and crocodiles living here. But local Charity Workers believe they could have an answer we do have a solution because to the north of us there is a low point in the. Geographic structure which could easily. Be that good can now come through and relieve some of this excess water which would in fact be a very good thing for the people down. Downstream as it were because they have no water. Its not clear if thats the time money or will to make that work in the meantime the water continues to rise. Its will Suicide Prevention day today and were putting a spotlight on kenya where on average 4 people take their lives every day now as is the case in many countries a large number of Mental Health problems remain and diagnosed and consequently unmanaged in kenya ill be talking to my guest about if its being undertaken by the government in this regard but 1st a suicide survive in kenya now on who has set up a studio and a safe space for young people going through a mental illness. Nearly 3 years ago jason brook not appear to be holding the perfect life but in reality he was battling some in a dim ones i fell into a pretty serious addiction alcohol addiction posttraumatic stress disorder so the depression the anxiety that followed from that was real. And i felt like you know my ideal life and the life that i was living with were 2 completely different different things. I knew who i wanted to be i knew the life that i wanted to made but i felt that i had no way of getting. And the feeling that almost led him to do the unthinkable was so i attempted to take my own life you know there was a feeling of hopelessness of feeling alone if i did reach out to anybody that would be a burden. So i really saw no way out. Like you jason changed his mind in the end but it has made his life mission to help others he has created his very own organization in kenya that not only supports artists and creatives but Mental Health users but also provides this is the space for them. When you find your way out of a burning building. Its human nature to want to help other people out of that building as well so thats why i set up that space to fight for as a way to show other people that its not hopeless. To double your choice to make more than 800000. 00 people die from sioux city every year in kenya its roughly 4 people taking the legs each day. Dr corinne deo dean who is a clinical psychologist and a psychotherapist says there can be more factors behind sue said than traditional depression so these issues of genetics issues that are cultural fact that weve got. So shell fact that youve got other risk sort of situation. Particularly now in the pandemic because you know what the thing to me does is its really been very detrimental to our mental. Still Mental Health remains a sensitive issue enough we can Society People dont come forward. The families will not come and tell it to whom to talk about it it is something thats held within our religious spaces within our cultural spaces and now that within the law and the policy its a sentiment just some she has when having lived in kenya for 2 decades. Theres nothing to be ashamed of nothing to feel guilty all thats normal and the more we put out through the movie normalize the narrative of mental illness. And talk more about Mental Health. The sooner that stigma will break down. Something jason and many others hope will help save lives not only. Im now joined by sylvia guy she is a sinister in kenya overseeing a proposed bill on Mental Health welcome to news africa say it is a tell us about what you are doing to tackle the Mental Health challenge in kenya. Thank you so much and thank you for having me is really really i want to end in a pleasure to be able to share with the world what kenya is doing and what we are doing championing the Mental Health campaign here in kenya and Mental Health reforms we are walking on a bill as vitamin rich islands and the Mental HealthAmendment Bill that is supposed to see an awful into the Mental Health. Space here in kenya right what does the bill do in terms of actual action what is it what will it translate to if it is pasta. First is a lightning all Mental Health interventions into the primary health care that is the biggest intervention possible because it all built in vision as stagnant on the kindness in of tackling Mental Health which really creases the stigma so you find only a Mental Health institutions tendons where people dont even have fear going to seek for medical help there so what we want in the 1st instance is to integrate mental in all all levels of all hospitals or primary health care so that we can have practitioners are in you know level one level 2 or 3 and how theyre fire a system not actually working for Mental Health the way it works for 4 primary health care it also envisions as attrition where access access to health care for Mental Health is possible so integrated into it into insurance systems so that you know you can actually get treatment treatment for Mental Health especially this if you want is very expensive and access to drugs is almost impossible one of the canyons so the 1000000000 visions where you know its part of all insurance schemes especially the universal Health Care System that the government case and it is currently ripping out. So it is a youve said before that that Mental Health issues have never been given a priority in the country and partly due to the lack of legislation do you think that things are going to change Going Forward now. Yes im happy that a lot of vocus in what i was shouting about Mental Health has been you know go to that you know the president to the point where the you know e he does it at a task force on Mental Health that where around the country now receiving you know comments and details from canyons and you know unfortunately because of course were seeing escalated cases going up now him in shock from where i sit and the ministry of health actually has you know they have a committee that is dealing specifically looking into knishes of Mental Health and how to help in as especially now with the corbett and all the other stresses that are related to yes it is thats a date the emphasis is on suicide and as i understand it attempting suicide is considered a crime in tenure. You could be jailed for 2 years or find do you think that can or needs to be reviewed. Absolutely i mean fact in the Mental HealthAmendment Bill we try to do it but were told that is not the place to do it and were happy that the task force that was doing the Mental Health report actually gave a very strong recommendation that that section needs to be repealed and removed because the criminalizing suicide is not to tackling the problem if anything now you have you have been more cases because you know the if youre going to prison pushes you know pushes the victims not to actually do it so we have agreed as a society that that is one of the key things that must be done in the short term in the shortest time possible is to repeal that section remove it altogether such that exists in such cases what they do is seek help as opposed to being taken to jail ok that sent us a selfie joining us from nairobi thank you say this and all the best to you on that bill.

Greetings from berlin and a warm welcome to arts and culture the Venice Film Festival at the top of the show again today and also coming up. We get a glimpse into the world of him gary an american war photographer robert kept at a new exhibition here in berlin. And the painstaking restoration of not dumb to party is progressing with crucial work on the roof to reestablish the buildings delicate architectural balance. Well so far so good as the 77th Venice Film Festival keeps on moving the 1st major festival to do so in the corona era competition films are generating lots of discussion as the viewings are drawing to a close on friday theres certainly no shortage of noteworthy titles. Almost good ties into cultural drama in haifa the film follows 18 diverse characters as their paths cross one night into trendy bar in the port city. For. You to see what i hope you get to the ministers of this to you the earth is. Rushing to fill my car under a concha of skis furious india comrades is a gripping recreate the 962 workers strike and the massacre that followed it you would you need to think in. Order. To keep. Your 3 in. One night in miami by regina king the film set at a box a celebration riata party and 964. 00 imagines what can happen when for us icons put their Heads Together on margaret yes. Thats. My song pretty far. And joining me one more time from the lido in venice is my colleague scott roxboro scotty so many interesting films out there in the suspense is mounting were there any surprises or new discoveries for you in this years lineup. Yes quite a few surprise i mean this is a very different year in venice because of the court of owls cut crisis and not so many big hollywood films here but a lot of interesting smaller films to discover and for me one of the great pleasures of coming to festivals like this is finding new talent and particularly new interesting actors this year is a bit different it was finding actors that i thought i knew doing completely different things. For example. A british actor who you might know from the Netflix SeriesStranger Things where he plays sort of a russian scientist he was here at the festival with his 1st ever film where he plays a leading role and its in polish drama called never going to snow again in it. Plays a ukrainian masroor who tends to the needs of the rich and shallow in a polish gated community its a very sort of strange and beautiful but also really really funny movie and alec is just hypnotic in the role i mean this is a really mainstream actor but he shows here that he has real our house chops and it was a real revelation for me yeah it looked fantastic but i thought the clips who would be your tip to win if i can dare to ask that question. Yeah well i mean the jury never listens to be sort of putting money on it but the absolute favorite film of my at this festival was was a mexican movie its called new order from the director Michael Franco and it is a violent revolution against mexicos privileged elite now this isnt history this is set in a modern day fictional but very realistic mexico and this is the sort of slow burn of a movie 1st we see sort of the the the privileged pampered one percent and the completely oblivious to whats going on outside and whats coming for them but when the revolution happens its brutal and its bloody and the film really hits you like a punch to the god i mean the combination of this credibly relevant topic and just the visceral style of Michael Francos film makes it my pick for the golden lion i have another question i want to squeeze in here scott before we get to our last one to film with picked as the festival darling its still coming up you havent seen it weve been waiting all week tell us about. Yes no matter. How directed you know its a film that everybodys been talking about ive been talking about nobodys seen yet it stars Frances Mcdormand as a woman who loses everything in the 2008 recession and becomes a modern day nomad traveling across america in a camper van at the same credibly a look huge amount of buzz around this film people are already talking about it as a potential oscar candidate i just cant wait to see that i know ok well well hear from you soon enough i guess so venice has pulled this off a Film Festival in times of a pandemic what impact do you think that this will have in terms of restarting the Film Industry. The are huge huge impact i mean you have to remember what amazing risk venice talk and even having this festival but they have pulled it off i mean theyve shown the world really that you can hold a Film Festival safely that it is safe to go back into cinemas and sit next to strangers and watch movies together and thats thats thats thats thats huge basically the Film Industry will be leaving venice with the hope and i think also the expectation that the cinema business can can and will a bounce back from this Coronavirus Crisis its a huge sense of optimism that we come out after that on a stone festival well thats very encouraging and exciting stuff as we wait to see who takes hold the golden lions this year enjoy the rest of the festival and that last key films got and thanks so much for joining us from the lido invent it. Well the name robert kapper was a fiction created to rid himself of a jewish surname and under its guys hand garion born Andre Freedman and his 1st love and soulmate. Forged their paths as war photographers until her early death in 1937 well today robert capa singular is widely considered to be the greatest combat photographer in history having covered countless conflicts from the spanish civil war to world war 2 the end of which gives its name to this new exhibition. 0 hour in the summer of 945. 00 more photographer robert kapper roamed the streets documenting destruction and new beginnings. These creatures can now be seen for the 1st time at the new synagogue in. This city was of course in ruins and how over 2000000 people had to start a new life you really get an impression of that when you look at these photos. The mind is a fortress eat. Kapur fled the german capital to escape the nazis in 1933 he became a us citizen and the most famous war photographer if hes time life magazine sent back to berlin to get the photographers impression of the end of the war. This is about him and its still a distance to view because kapil was jewish and the people he observed were not necessarily resistance fighters or anti fascists. Is it but his gaze is not one of malice nor is it one of a victor. Deceived us people who have lost everything searching for the missing. For work and for food on the black market. Some are also looking for a script in a bar allied soldiers celebrate with german frauleins here can also be sane. In you can see him here hes very dark and his cheeks are filled with cognac or whiskey hes standing at the bar. As i asked it and here and there these are the types of discoveries we made when going through the 600 photos 6 and a bigger guns and. Here a few survivors of the Jewish Community celebrating thing you. Are maggie here we see that catherine has a different relationship with these people than with those he has seen on the street that theres actually no more distance there thank you and that makes these pictures all the sadder that it was actually the end of the berlin Jewish Community of berlins jewish history and of German Jewish history in general you hope that you. Become gaze of war photographer robert capa imperfect fleeting and haunting. Well these images equally unforgettable as not keyed roll in paris was in gulf in flames in april of last year fire had broken out under the roof of the 850 year old monument and by the time it was extinguished its fire had collapsed and most of the roof with completely destroyed or restoration work is underway and its archaeological crypt has just reopened but the work has been tricky as the mangled scaffolding put in place for renovations prior to the fire is painstakingly removed. Restoration work on the roof of the dart at dizzying heights climbers saw through the 200. 00 tons of melted scaffolding piece by piece for months they feared the walls of the cathedral would collapse under its weight with a huge crane the parts a carefully lifted out and lowered to the ground its precision work. When we have a wind speed of 20 to 30 Kilometers Per Hour then you can see that the containers sways 5 meters in both directions so we have to be careful not to hit the scaffolding. The fire broke out almost a year and a half ago when i pull 152019. Not only discomforting but also toxic lead dust has posed a constant threat to the cleanup crew with the entire structure in danger of collapsing and precious artifacts needing to be salvaged countless sculptures and stones were removed. And taken outside of paris to geologist john d. M. s because the stones are still contaminated with lead he needs to wear protective clothing these angel heads fell 33 meters to the ground when the vault dome collapsed only their wings are broken the stones are in Critical Condition badly damaged by the into. Since heat of the fire sun are as fragile as glass and ultrasound scan determines how porous they are and whether or not they can be used again in the restoration at the same time researchers want to know more about the cathedrals construction the research is making the best of the situation. Similar to yours we would never have been able to take these kinds of samples had the fire never happened or we never could have isolated such big pieces it would have been impossible to see back at the building site the workers are forging ahead the scaffolding needs to be removed by the end of september because it will be reconstructed exactly as it was before the fire and that hopefully before 2024. A big job there indeed in paris visit our website for more from arts and culture and in the meantime to stay safe all the best by going to. Enter the conflict zone with tim sebastian.
