Amount of easily accessible to us humans is relatively tiny. Its in rivers and lakes and under our feet groundwater theyre usually hidden from view is vitally important. Hello and welcome to tomorrow today the science show on d w. The vast amounts of water on our planet and sitting still but in motion in a perpetual cycle heat from the sun makes water evaporates and rise into the air as it condenses it forms clouds and eventually precipitation ensues in the form of rain snow or hail. Some of that water evaporates again directly some is taken up by plants and flows into rivers lakes and seas seeps into the earth and read. Plana since the ground wars have some of that in 10 makes its way to the surface. This is the upper rhine valley in southwest germany. There are places here where something valuable and increasingly rare public is up to the surface. Clear pure groundwater. Pike feel right at home in it as do many other species of fish. Some are facing extinction the european is a critically endangered species. Oh fish need clean water and groundwater is a crucial source of that. The places in this region where the water rising from the depths is so pure is not the rhine river itself but naturally occurring ponds that by springs. Here the water temperature is 11 degrees celsius all year. These springs and ponds are important and need to be protected. It looks like they can be found anywhere unexpected holes in the ground even in the middle of flat terrain. But the groundwater that feeds the springs some of which ends up in the rhine river itself is the result of a complex process. Of rain that falls in the fosters mountains to the west and the black forest up plans to the east feed streams. Or seeps directly into the ground through soil and wherever the rock is porous permeable or cracked. Travelling downwards through sand. And gravel or other formations its filtered and purified while also picking up minerals along the way some of them of great value. When the water reaches impermeable rock it flows along the top of that layer and into the valley. If it feeds into the river it mingles with what was once groundwater in the alps to the south. Theres a huge aquifer beneath the upper run valley. In the valley groundwater bubbles up to the surface in spots where the rock and ground are permeable. Thats how such ponds are formed. In the clean ground water many life forms flourish. Kike like the temperature and the oxygen and nutrients levels in the water not too much and not too little. Here some male pike are chasing after a female after a bit of a song and dance one couple meet. These pristine cons are under threat. Intensive farming means insecticides pesticides chemical fertilizers and slurry can all pollute groundwater. And thus the springs that feed the ponds. Nitrate from nitrogen fertilizer causes al jewel blooms which use up all the oxygen in bodies of water. Various chemicals are bad for aquatic animals and plants. They also threaten the supply of water we humans strange. The level of nitrate in groundwater exceeds the permissible level in more than a quarter of germany. Groundwater carries nitrate and other chemicals down into the valley. Contaminated groundwater endangers bio topes its meant to sustain. Where the ground water is clean it feeds bio topes rich in biodiversity. Lakes. Region beds. Woodlands and also manmade lakes. Such as old gravel pits as they fill up with water life returns. A young great crested grievous looking for food. It finds a fish hiding in vain among the plants. Dragonflies and damselflies thrive here too. They all need clean water to reproduce like these common blue gems of fives. A female heads down into the water. Or male concert accompanies or. She climbs down the stock of a plant to make a whole minute and deposit her age. At this depth the age should remain safely moist even if the water level drops. Then she lets go and rises to the surface. 2 a male helps her out of the water. To mate with her. None of this would be happening word not for clean water from underground sources its a Precious Resource we need to do our utmost to protect. We also need to protect that voice when its still in the ground. Ground will say it is in a way like the ocean depth mysterious little that duck its cultish it may not be cozy but all kinds of weird and wonderful creatures. Has lived down there. Theyve adapted to the harsh conditions. They merit close attention they are fascinating and we actually need them as well. Since time immemorial tiny creatures have lurked in the depths of our groundwater most are translucent and blind and theyre perfectly adapted to their desolate habitats where theres no light almost no food and little oxygen can see again han is a ground water ecologist hes fascinated by the subterranean animal species which unknown a stick a foreigner. Around waters the deep sea beneath our feet its never been properly researched but its teeming with exciting form of the play a key role in purifying the water. 2 and therefore the quality of the water we drink for millions of years their habitat has barely changed but now groundwater temperatures are rising and that poses a potentially deadly risk to stick a foreigner as hans fielding han has demonstrated in a comprehensive scientific study. In 50 sports and simulators when they chew is still intact the ground water is well protected and its temperature remained stable between 8 and 12 degrees celsius. Temperatures dropped 10. 8 degrees. There were searches find snails and worms unfelt of shrimp like the fungus. Creatures that live in the groundwater have evolved over millions of years to suit their environment they perfected the art of surviving with very little food thanks mainly to low metabolic and reproductive rates and eggs with an extremely high low content to ensure the young survive. There are some 250 types of stick a foreigner in germany including then if August Schellenberg it hasnt changed in 30000000 years and nor has its habitat creatures that can survive being groundwater have adapted to a severely limited food supply the water allows a selous aquatic us for example can go for months without food it copes by barely moving and expending Little Energy if august or belair eons and muscles feed on bacteria plant and animal residue in the process purifying groundwater of organic matter and germs preventing tiny pores in rock surfaces from clogging up and allowing the ground water to keep flowing. Stick a foreigner can only continue to perform these valuable tasks if their habitat remains unchanged but now ground water temperatures are rising especially in urban environments do you part need to climb. Change and partly to the fact that subways underground car parks and pipe systems heat the ground and therefore the groundwater. In the long run the tiny creatures of the deep wont be able to survive higher temperatures temperatures such as here in cars. Point one degrees thats high. About 3 degrees too high but in many cities no longer unusual. For. The groundwater habitat is clearly at risk but unfortunately Green Technology poses an additional threat to stick a foreigner. And then its not in recent years as Climate Change progresses ground water has increasingly been used for Geothermal Energy either to heat or cool for air conditioning for example and that of course heats up the ground water this is happening primarily on the outskirts of cities and where Industrial Zones are being built a new developments are going out its suddenly getting warmer in exactly the places where the former is still relatively intact. But perhaps not for much longer then this figure for no would no longer perform their vital role in purifying the water we drink it isnt always that interest you know that microorganisms bacteria will change that there will be greater diversity more species effects the rate of growth will increase and therefore there will be greater challenges to the supply of clean water it will be harder to keep the microbes in check in our sources of water versus interest of a lot. More to purification in Treatment Plants will become harder and more expensive theres little awareness of this problem gemini has never set a limit on groundwater temperatures there were no regulations on protecting subterranean fauna. A lot of attention is paid nowadays to protecting bodies of surface water but not to the infallible water beneath our feet. And enough according to e. U. Law and also the german Water Resources law the groundwater is a body of water just like a broker let it go on its a college you must be protected this is not happening its seen as a resource and nothing else but. The ground moves it is almost important source of Drinking Water and thats partly thanks to these tiny creatures subterranean for now that time forgot. They deserve our thanks and our protection. Less than one percent of all the water on earth is in the ground so we should be careful what we do with it. In many areas the groundwater level is dropping because we pump up so much of it about 70 percent goes to farming and a lot of the rest to industry. So how much water does it actually take to grow out crops and make health goods. What is virtual water. Lets take genes as an example it takes around 8000 liters of water to make one path thats 53. 00 bathtubs full how come growing the cotton uses most of the water its a very thirsty plant if the rains failed cotton fields have to be irrigated. And if the cotton is to be spun into jeans it also needs coloring rinsing and bleaching that pollutes a lot of water. Virtual water is the unseen water that goes into the manufacturing of our product. Nearly 900000 liters for one kilo of coffee 184 liters for a kilo of tomatoes and about 15000 liters for one kilo of beef. In a country with adequate natural Water ResourcesHigh Consumption isnt a problem unless of course a lot of it gets polluted but in many regions water is scarce or supplies have been depleted by producing certain goods the water level in the r. L. Sea has dropped 18 meters because of irrigation in cotton fields its turned parts of was back you start into a salty toxic waste land. Tomatoes a cultivated in the parched reaches of Southern Spain using water piped into enormous greenhouses. And in brazil where theres a shortage of Drinking Water the countrys huge coffee plantations are never short of a drop coffee is a major export for brazil. Europeans import beans water guzzling goods and by extension all the virtual water needed to produce them seen from this perspective someone living in germany uses free 1900 liters of water a day slightly over the global average but cooking showering and laundry make up only a small part of that most water used here is virtual water hidden in the products around us. Water is a finite resource. Especially that if it exists and if the petrol cycles like the rest of nature did in carbon and nitrogen for example the atoms and molecules that make up everything on earth had their origins billions of years. The cycle of emergence. And decay is eternal and nothing goes to waste at least in nature but when we humans get involved its another mess entirely. Millions of tons of building waste and global are produced around the world each year. Much of it and up in landfill. But what if it were possible to transform trash into new Building Materials to waltz in insulation and this house i made from plastic bottles tetra pots. And potato peel. And i was just one of its many features. This is a Test Facility the temporary residence of students who are spending several months to find out what shapes up as a 100. And feels good to know that you are living in a place that is meant to be the future because now cities are turning to to mind and they are living in this environment with these materials and you know that you dont miss anything and it also provides you with fixed i mean it is. One mans trash is another mans Building Materials experts and reclaim our case he calls it in mining practically everything in this apartment is recycled over recyclable or is he not they all are sort of our Material Resources on earth are limited. And. So theres only so much copper building sounds and so on thats a fact were slowly reaching a point where theres not that much left we need a solution and the only one that works is a circular economy on the other. Hand they so for example the rooms are fitted with carpets that a manufacturer can later take back and refurbish into new carpets they cost small was then called these to completion. You dont buy the car big you just rent it because the manufacturer will want it back at some point so seem to be all you have it 6 most of the materials here can be fed back into the system so that the same product or Something Different can be created from the go over to the piano is toast. But to maintain this kind of cycle the buildings need to be designed in the right way. That all of you have to be able to disassemble the building into its individual components that means everything can be just connected its all they were screwed or slotted in as true with old i like to exaggerate a bit and say it has to be possible for 2 peoples or taking a tire building a partner with just an electric screwdriver fallen on. This bronze door handle once belonged to a punk that was demolished these kinds of high quality components often go to waste. A swiss Online Platform now sells Building Elements from demolish buildings for very low prices. It was founded by architects olivier to peddle. In the shrine said ike we have around 3. 00 to 4000. 00 demolition permits a year in switzerland so more than 10 buildings are torn down every workday in their lives. And its really surprising what gets demolished and then ill stick. Buildings that were completely renovated just 10 years ago marked for demolition. And you ask yourself is that normal is that really the way we should be proceeding to mom next. The Online Platform has a diverse clientele some of the items listed on the site and brewery in switzerland. It was a stroke of luck for architects bustin told around. This official so i just searched the platform for window you can refer to and i found these ones these are photos of the original building the windows i wouldnt frames. I bought 25 of them for hardly anything because they would only have been thrown away otherwise. A. Book thats good because in a way that i use them for this partition wall between people who have a rather. Still very few components like these that recycle storage is a problem also not everyone in the Construction Industry is convinced. Although there are already countless extraordinary examples of up cycling around the world. Why is recycling not yet come of fakes and construction. These Building Materials are available and affordable so why dont more people make use of them. As its about taking the plunge into place we notice that people are just unsure if because there are a lot of unknown factors like legal and planning aspects in the way its been on the blog and as is often the case if something is new then theres uncertainty. Uncertainty holds you back and we see that as the biggest reason we dont wish. Other countries have made more progress like the nothing and these bricks are made of waste products theyre manufactured in this old brick yard south of on sit down by just as the conventional brake seems to be. The main product of the start up. To you already do is a beautiful call also doesnt necessarily look like waste any more. The bricks are mainly made from shredded building rubble and industrial waste. Another funny one. That also tells like a nice story is. So what im holding here on my hands used to be toilet vaults saying its tiles like a kitchen. From tiles. The market for them has grown by life for the past year although these particular products are expensive sales are improving. So this is the shoulder pepper this just as the middle one is you know gosh this is the salami. But its always a combination of just this idea of sustainability combined with the side i think people really like to buy beautiful things and its its a way to win a bit sustainable and beautiful and india and nobody wants a building even if its sustainable the colorful bricks cannot be seen in many new and renovated buildings across. The netherlands as a pioneer in such you know economies the country wants to recycle all of its waste by 25th state and its aiming for 50 percent by 2039 patients plan. I think only one solution to speed up the transition to a to a circle our economy and that is just. Make it policy and policy in terms of tax incentives so thats a nice 1st step but actually start handing out penalties as people dont use reuse materials for instance seed to meet the time for change is now it makes sense and people know it is and it wont cost a great deal itll just take time and our Construction Industry has grown to what it is over the last 150 years its the worlds biggest economic sector i mean its not something we can change overnight to be a tough sweet Sensitive Data but it does need to change so you know. All resources are running out. If outlet is red white i mean i dont even think you. Do you have a science question youd like us to answer. Send it in. You know if we feature it on the show you get a little surprise as a thank you. Have on just ask. Youll find us on the web at d. F. W. Dot com slash science oh and check us out on twitter. Thats all for now thank you for joining us. For morning grossing stories about science and technology visit our website. Well be back next week with a fresh edition of tomorrow today. Until then by. All. Means. 20 or so much on t w p were floor yet to find out why the latino gold leans more we probably come. Up with. What youre reporting on. The fight against the corona virus pandemic. Has the rate of infection been developing. What measures are being taken. What does the latest research say. Information and context. The coronavirus of data to cope with special monday to friday on w. L and. As our favorite. Angus ok adding i think that the effect of. The effect i have on our own 1st what i have i have done the work of. I am. Now i am a parent who has family and manner. And i have a cold when. I was told. That the my but i for. Them i was.

This is the the years life for a new germanys chancellor defends a countrys new coronavirus lockdown as restrictions come into force. People to follow the rules to protect the Health System the number of patients in intensive care has doubled over the last 10 days also on the. Support of a key swing States Donald trump appeals to floridas cuban americans the latino vote to decide this years us. Welcome to the program the german chancellor has warned of tough months ahead as she defended a new partial lockdown that came into force today im going to machall said the measures were essential to ensure the Health System doesnt reach breaking point she urged people to reduce social contact to a minimum over the next 4 weeks saying the government was relying on the public to follow the new rules which include the closure of restaurants and most Leisure Facilities the chancellor also warned it was too early to make promises about december but did say that christmas and new Year Celebrations would have to be scaled back theres more chance of a magical speech. This isnt hard these measures are tough we know that but if this point in time we cannot do this or that small variation or simply rely on the basic social distancing. V. O. B. In the hope that would be half hearted and the virus punishes have heartedness not relief of course this means that for the next 4 weeks we will have to go without a lot of the things that make life worthwhile and we all know that the state leaders as well as we in the government we spent a long time considering whether there was a better or milder way but we did not see one thats why with heavy hearts we decided on these measures as they are the right ones to achieve our goal more Political CorrespondentThomas Sparrow welcome thomas this press conference was held at short notice what does this tell us about the Current Situation in germany. That it is essentially very urgent that the situation is not good and that that explains why the german chancellor but also the regional leaders had to announce this new partial lockdown im going to stress saying based on statistics how fast the virus is actually spreading here in germany how that is actually affecting the public Health System and how if nothing is done then the Health System would be overwhelmed in a matter of weeks and thats why im going to go felt the need to come to the federal press center and explain those policies once again it is very unusual for the chancellor to do that you know when it comes to fill once a year to the federal press center here in in berlin for a year early some a press conference and the fact that he decided on very short notice he was previously scheduled to simply come here today on the 1st day of this possible lockdown just gives you the sense of how the government is feeling about these cases and why the government in particular the german chancellor feel that urgency to explain these new policies here in germany are going to mco also stress that she understands that there is frustration that this kept his them by that that just makes the need even greater for her to explain why these decisions were actually made and urgent luck to you say but it could have been a lot harsher. It could have been a lot harsher but dots the reason why its also being described as a sort of lock down light or a partial lockdown schools will room it will remain open daycare will remain open churches will remain open shop will remain open but basically Everything Else will have to close for the month of november so bars restaurants james museums theaters and so on and there has been criticism as to why exactly these areas were targeted and not other areas but thats also why the german chancellor explained that since germany at this point cannot track and trace most infections in fact 75 percent of infections then there is a need to come up with these measures then why for example schools were left open Angela Merkel has had that as a clear goal right from the start schools have to remain open as much as possible thats important socially also economically and at the same time the German Government wants to make sure that the businesses under the economy in general are affected as little as possible they dont need Political Correspondent tom aspirant thank you well there are now less than 24 hours until election day in the United States with the clock ticking of both President Trump and his democratic rival joe biden campaigning in several swing states lots of eyes will be on florida which has seen razor thin margins between winners and losers over the last 2 elections President Trump and support from a key demographic boost him to victory in the state w. s kind of the much more has been to florida to find out how the president Republican Party has been appealing to cuban americans. What they want to see donald trump state in the white house and theyre determined to deliver florida for him its a must win state for the presidency even at this scale back democrat rally in orlando the triumph waters are higher louder. Trump has strong support from a large part of the Latino Community here in florida this despite things which would seem almost designed to put latinos off like the hair schwartz he has used to describe immigrants im here to find out why the hispanic vote leans more republican here in florida nearly a 3rd of the latino voters in florida have cuban roots including better got covered on maurice had of latinos for trump in orlando she was 15 when her family fled cuba after losing everything to the government of gust they just not won there the door and they said this is ours now we had lost everything you know we had lost our beautiful hall. The ranch the chauffeur but we had a different life and you adopt. Thats why voting is so important to me because its the gift that this country has given me that i didnt have they took away. One of her biggest fears like many other cuban americans is the idea that the system they fled could be adopted in the United States no i dont think joe biden is a socialist or a communist but i do believe the people around him are and they have the same socialist ideas that i lived through in cuba and ive seen in venezuela so yes i do believe that hes surrounded with that and a leader is as good as the people around them being pro trump is slowly becoming something to president s supporters keep to themselves because there can be consequences mike or plumber is also a devoted trump support i have received you would say i have 000 right broke. For your press yet unless you have a list of what i was this is youre not appropriate person wrong word because you dont want to do the job you are trying choice already provided for just to do the job because thats a really good word. Its not just a fear of socialism driving support for trump. Many latino voters are catholic and support the republican position against abortion and it may seem counter intuitive but many also supports trumps hard line on immigration even from latin american countries. Trump has the truth i dont want other hispanics to come into the u. S. Even if they are from my country peru if they dont pay taxes that is not fair so if more hispanics come and dump a taxes they seal and live off the money they get from the government then im a racist too and i also say get out its not fair that those that come through the board border illegally painted for you already 10 1000. 00 to come here and we dont know. They are they could be right here in florida support for President Trump and the republicans steeply emotional if that support is reflected at the ballot box it could decide the election. Lets take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world now are huge plaintiffs underway in the philippines after it was hit by a typhoon over the weekend at least 20 people were killed and tens of thousands of homes damaged or destroyed the worst hit areas have been left without communications and elektras city and the army has appealed for more troops to assist the belief operation. At least 19 people have been killed after gunmen stormed Kabul University during the rainy and book fair officials from iran and afghanistan have been expected to attend witnesses say the target the attackers targeted students a taliban have denied responsibility but similar attacks have been carried out by views law mixtape group now to mexico where the day of the dead festival is normally cause for National Celebration and remembrance but the country is reeling from more than 90000 coronavirus deaths so this year the usually vibrant parades have been canceled or gone virtual and ceremonies have been told several trees have been told to close this means that for many mexicans a usual calming or festive event has become a lonely experience. For maria del Rosario Martinez this day of the dead is especially poignant her husband a doctor who cared for some of mexicos poorest died at the height of the countrys pandemic falling victim himself. In keeping with tradition maria decorates an altar with some of his favorite things. In your cup and secular 3 2nd born i never thought that i would have to place an orator from my husband. 30 or less but according to traditions and beliefs hes going to come hes going to be here with us. Hes going to be happy. It was better. When president Lopez Obrador dedicated the festival to the victims of corporate 19 there was none of the lavish parades and pot Public Events normally a short sheeted with a holiday. It set the tone for a nation grieving in isolation and acute among them her family has been devastated by the virus. And you know this here in one look at me all this year i decided to get involved in making the altar for 3 very special people. Yeah we think of when my grandmother who was the one who taught us this tradition. My brother and lastly from my father. There where some call me to celebration in the capitals worst hit district performers danced under a fool moon. Well families paid tribute to their dad. And let 2300. 00 candles one for each of covert nineteens victims. Pandemic has forced many sporting events to be held behind closed doors or even postponed by the 2020 Tokyo Olympics department is now carrying out high tech studies to see how they can make it safer crops to a large scale sporting events a baseball stadium in yokohama was turned into a testing ground for 3 days with 28000 people in attendance the Yokohama Base stars have 2 goals to win games and to try to get the upper hand on coronavirus the fact that their stadium was on one day almost 90 percent full is the result of a technological homerun and also thanks to almost 28000. 00 test subjects. Took. You feel a bit on easy about it however having a lot of fans certainly helps the players on this one and. Those who take part in the testing get a 35 Percent Discount on their tickets as well as having 2 apps kick in the National Corona app is mandatory as is a 2nd one from a private provider which inquires about your health 10 days prior to the game and 14 days after. We stay in contact with the olympic organizers they are very interested in the data we send it to them without names were doing everything to ensure that the games will take place next year when because it will make up the. Monitoring devices are placed in the stands to measure a lot of people a lot of cheering and a lot of Carbon Dioxide add to that wind intensity and velocity and experts can already figure out where fan density is too high making the dangerous spread of the virus possible and at the stadium crowding is also an issue for washrooms but a Digital Guide post will show you the way sending you a chat function via in from. Red waves radio and t. V. All in real time. But you dont and i mean weve installed the guideposts at 39 locations at toilets kiosks and shops so if you have to do something then just look at the map to see where theres a line up and then maybe go to another location the japanese are very conscientious about wearing face masks however those who may be potential visitors to the Olympic Games and think they dont have to take part in such measures may still be reminded thanks to a High Performance facial recognition system. But it goes on using all our software doesnt just count visitors it also sees how long you stay somewhere and whether youre wearing a face mask and if youre not security personnel could be alerted all the status serves to lower the risk of the spread of coronavirus or thought youd see that. They say the technology is reliable that just might make the olympics doable despite the pandemic at this stadium medals will also be up for grabs in baseball and softball and just thinking of that really inspires the fans. Oh hi this is that v. W. Newsvine from then coming up next to. Your business updates. As always the website d. F. W. Dot com ill be back at the top of the of the day. 20 to do a selection on. Him floor yet to find out why the latino dreams more republican. But sorry for today. Stay up to date dont miss our highlight d. W. Program on line d. W. Dot com highlights. A fresh round of lockdowns threatens economy chinese not a factory hit a 10 year record for people in rwanda by the outbreak started the Coronavirus Crisis seems all but forgotten. Also coming up 4 years of donald trump in office have left their mark on the Global Economy and days before the election we take stock of u. S. German business ties. And we take you to somalia where sesame producers are planting seeds of opportunity. This is the w. Business im joined now that while out in berlin thank you for joining us we begin in china where manufacturing has bounced back sharply reaching the highest level in nearly 10 years its the latest sign of recovery for the worlds top 2 economy heres another what the return of business in groupon the central chinese city where the outbreak began take a look. At social distancing rules are out clubbing back in. The mood on the streets also optimistic well it did not. And there are no more problems and everythings under control. A message beijing is eager to spread especially as europe locks down in cases rise again in the u. S. New figures increasingly support that message the chinese economy is growing again exports are rising and domestic consumption is trying to pick up the slack in overseas demand. Businesses say theyre seeing the revival firsthand to hong owns one of the citys most popular restaurants. We started to ease the lockdown on april 8th but the customers werent there. It was only in may when everyone was tested the people and families started going out because everyone was reassured. That there will be sort of nobody but chinas approach is hardly duplicable beijings one party rule and its massive mobilization make it an anomaly amongst large economies even if its rebound is enviable. Our financial correspondent conrad who sent us this analysis. Capital expenditures are being postponed purchasing managers are very reluctant to make a large and longer term spending decisions this of course makes the outlook in china difficult but china in recent years has done a lot to become more independent from the rest of the world the domestic demand is playing more of a role and this has helped china so far to recover so quickly now this is the week that will determine the shape of global trade for the coming years will it be donald trump or joe biden millions around the world are waiting with bated breath including german business leaders. Machines cars and parts from suppliers those are germanys top sellers in the u. S. And apparently thriving business even during Donald Trumps presidency. German Companies Sold 107000000000 euros worth of goods in the u. S. In the year Trump Took Office an amount that continued to climb this makes the u. S. The single biggest buyer of german exports. On the u. S. Sold more goods to germany each year since Trump Took Office so does this mean the trade relations are running smoothly between the u. S. And germany not at all according to stormy on a commision are from the federation of german industries. And if we really reached a low point during the Trump Administration we have several new trade conflicts steel and aluminum tariffs for one thing but also the conflict over subsidies in the aviation sector for example airbus boeing and the threat of Motor Vehicle tariffs is unfortunately still on the table and yes it is not flicks have increased dramatically like the one in iran for 1 am. Even so u. S. Companies continue to invest heavily in germany about 13000000000 euros last year in return German Companies invested about 34000000000 euros in projects in the u. S. And 29000 alone. Frank supporter laurie of the American Chamber of commerce in berlin reports positive experiences despite disagreements between berlin and washington most recently during his visits to georgia kentucky and indiana these are states that when a german he says hey i want to come and no it is ever so german go all we dont want your jobs on the country and you know full well whether he says i want to invest in germany theres a 1000000 programs here theres all kinds of investment banks in every state the interest. Is big. But much needs to be done to lead trade relations back to calmer waters once again. Thats one of the f. Of mocking 1st of all trust needs to be rebuilt at all levels not just on the executive or leadership level but also all the way down to the workers level. But im done with that means the dialogue that we always used to have but that was suspended under the Trump Administration would have to be reactivated they havent had a ton of thought through life and health care that didnt cut Social Security but just how willing both parties will be to engage in dialogue depends on the election results. Now to some of the other Global Business stories making news. Oil prices have fallen to a 5 month low as coronavirus lockdowns go into effect across europe the fear is that more lock downs will slow Economic Growth and that demand for oil will plummet Oil Companies like b. P. And shell have laid off thousands in the wake of the pandemic. Irish Budget Airline ryanair a nosedive into the red from april to september thats usually Summer Travel season the peak ryanair suffered a loss of almost 200000000 euros the coronavirus is the most challenging time in bryan air as 35 year history the company said. Many british banks and foreign firms that that previously used london as their gateway to the e. U. Are now setting up shop in germany Germanys Bundesbank says so far 64 firms have applied to expand operations are called into the country bringing billions of euros with them. Less than 9 weeks to go before the u. K. And the e. U. Run out of time to seal a trade deal if they dont succeed now british firms face tons of red tape at the border if they want to keep selling into the worlds biggest trading block after january 1st talks are continuing this week. Port operations at dover run like clockwork up to 10000. 00 trucks pass through the busiest british seaport every day the vast majority of freight almost 99 percent is trade within the e. U. Meaning its not subject to customs checks thats all about to change outside the Block Companies will have to complete a lot of paperwork for the drivers his eclipse. A Movement Reference Numbers generated by a transit a company in document and exit summary declaration and should be lodged with the Goods Vehicle Movement service this then generates a Goods Movement reference which is given to the driver before i can access a permit is secured to enter the county of kentwood over the holidays.
