Im preschool rambling welcome to the Program Amazon has been one of the main economic beneficiaries of the pandemic locked out on the 3rd quarter of a nearly 40 percent increase in sales growth over the same period last year the companys results showed it sold more in more in the 1st 9 months of this year than in the whole of the previous people buying habits have shifted to online and trend is expected to continue for the Holiday Shopping season. Lets get more on this from our financial correspondent conrad booze and in frankfurt conor at amazon is now valued over one trillion dollars how long can this trend of gaining value continue well chris as you just pointed out itself predicts at least one more quarter of records as the corona restrictions continue to make life for classical retailers difficult of chorus more mall Christmas Shopping is expected to shift online but i also have to say the dominating position that amazon has is causing many new discussions again the stronger the market position off amazon the more antitrust regulators dymov themselves isnt this dominating position something we should do about only this week the antitrust regulator here in germany has started another investigation into the Business Practices of amazon dot com not other tech giants also reporting Quarterly Earnings alphabet Facebook Twitter whos sticking out there.

Now to a stinging topic for many people here in germany berlins new International Airport or originally poised to open i knew years ago it has been dogged by one failure after another becoming a financial black hole and certainly not an example of german efficiency to morrow the new airport will finally open and here is what weve learned from the grueling process before it. Finished at last and officially opening on saturday which is also quite appropriately halloween the new berlin Airports Development has been an engineering and administrative nightmare. Stories from to get it made us a left wing stock throughout germany in the new german engineers were ashamed. And the mounting cost overshoots were totally unacceptable need to talk to. Locate it southeast of perlin brandenburg airport was originally budgeted for 2000000000 euros and supposed to open on years ago and as the drug dont cost tripled. Time and again hopes were raised the torment might finally be over then came in of the delay one problem among many the Fire Protection system failed certification and had to be completely redesigned how could things possibly come to that the airport owners were Civil Servants belonging to the federal german brandenburg state and berlin and ministrations rather than commissioning one Major Company with tried and tested contacts they commissioned a plethora of Smaller Companies for different Jobs Construction coordination became a monstrous problem adding to the horror the airport owners change their plans several times the entire story was one of incompetence money fold negligence and a whole array of companies that made a fortune in all the chaos inspectors found 200000 construction deficiencies the airport became an expensive scandal which ended many a political and management career. But now berlins new airport is finally settled and for more lets bring in education journalist yes flatow he joins me from his office near hamburg via skype yes good to have you on the program live years late did you expect. For the airport told them that late do you expect for it to take that long to fix all the problems. No of course not i mean in fairness you have to say that many many airports and many of the Consortium Projects are late but not that good a year or 2 thats fine i mean the look at the door our port of qatar there was a year or 2 later the new airport and i would obviously. Victim of there the berlin one years. Is just outrageous and as indicated in the program just earlier i think the main reason is that the airport operated believed it could handle construction and so rather than commissioning it to experts and to skate of of massive failures and of course is opening takes place against the backdrop of this huge bend demick novice and nobody is enjoying their ramifications of this could it nevertheless be a chance as there will only be 20 percent of the passenger numbers the expected for november then the usual amount could that be a chance for an opening with less mishaps for example. Yeah but thats. It could be but on the other hand i mean thats the thats a nice problem to have right of the a few of the few mishaps here and there probably was not operations in this program in this airport the problem was that there was no airport ready to be opened. But of course i mean the pandemic is a huge issue for berlin there of 36000000. 00 passengers last year a fraction of those with room rule expect this year liked tended and who knows about next year. Before the spend this airport looked to be too small because it consolidated all all the traffic from all the other berlin airports now its of course too big and if you look back its built to an extent at least as a park where people connect that it will never happen its a direct Service Airport for low Cost Carriers or should be one but its partially you know built to go to the wrong targets. Briefly berlin is a city known around the world as the new airport mean itll be easier coming to berlin as well. But from the airport well its its a long its a longer drive or a trip by train from the new airport then from the old airport which is why the old airport was extremely popular for business travelers coming in and going out the same day so itll take a while but thats life i mean thats what usually happens when you have friends or when there was the case in munich in 1092 when their new airport replaced an old one which was close to the city i dont think thats the main problem to be honest. Journalist and thank you.
