Is the most vulnerable in the world so every nation every company in the world need to step up on Climate Adaptation in your own interests and i think we need to do 4 things especially 1st of all create more transparency on how Climate Risks are influencing you as a country and every country is exposed for you as a basis in terms of your supply chain in terms of your locations or whatever it turns parents and also investors that is very important secondly you need to protect your own operations taking care of your own supply chain if you talk about food and Agricultural Products or flooding of your sites or drought state your workers cannot come to your sites certainly you need to focus on innovation trying to be new products new solutions and as a company you can make money and as a society you are served by those innovations we for example make the oceans more resilient for fishing we make culture and africa more resilient to doubts and to force an amount is that for the sea to advocate for Climate Mitigation as well as adaptation and i think there is no country in the world who can escape from that you mentioned investors in your examples that you just gave there for too long businesses have been run for shareholders and to make bosses rich. So how are you going to make this transformation now to say you know the environment is very important as well. Well there is no company who can be successful in a world that fails at the end of the day that will hurt you as as a company and the economy was never invented to make money money is a tool to all to all live happily here it all together and the world to strattons inequality hunger or Climate Change ravages at cetera so therefore its in the interests of this is itself therefore its an interest of the in Economic System the resilience of our Economic System to go for more Value Creation than only shareholder Value Creation but also for society. And i think more and more companies see that you see the this is round table in the United States 10800 companies on the day the c. E. O. s few weeks ago said hey there are more stakeholders than only do shareholders and of course as companies we are not free on topic organizations we need to make money but there are more interest than only making money and theres more interest than only do short term and addressing Climate Change fire mitigation and addressing adaptation is in the interest of all countries is in the interest of all Companies Just to future proof your business and invest investors should be interested in how companies are exposed and what companies are doing to keep the business of also in the long run just looking at the world around you right this very moment in time the kind of the Global Economy is slowing. And theres a trade war going on between the United States and china which is how many impacts on a lot of other countries how is it affecting you how is it affecting the world whats your opinion as to whats going on. Well lets have a look to whats happening in the worlds of ways all the trade issues Political Tension i think if we look back a little bit globalization is an essential part of our Economic System it basically our Economic System is based on specialization you are better in this im better in saying and lets exchange said the end of the day that is the essence of our Economic System traits specialisation and globalization brought for asperity for many countries in the world for billions of people but not for all countries and not for all people in all countries and we need to do now is not put a fence around the countries or businesses but making globalization more inclusive for all that this to way to go because globalization is i think the absence of our economy because it is based on the specialization model and you see a little bit at this moment that people try to build fences around saying i see that as a temporally movement we as a company because we especially in food are not so much hurt by that at this very moment but is not a good saying and it is not the right for reaction from a correct observation that globalization did not bring prosperity for all make it more inclusive.

M. W. Appears to be going that way why at the b. M. W. Group be very much believe in what we call the power of choice so we actually deliver various drive trains to our customers depending on their needs because.

Besides the physical damage the hoodies also seem to have time the attacks just a saudi aramco announced it is moving forward to sending a part of the state oil company the stock listing has been on again off again but attacks like these will not help Investor Confidence<\/a> to bring in billions of dollars to diversify in the south the economy the primary mistake is that its not really. Someone. Yes saudi aramco is no ordinary company if the engine of saudi arabias economy and a source of power for its rulers its also the crown jewel of the Saudi Crown Prince<\/a>s and bishops plan to diversify the economy but with seemingly expanding strike capability as from the war in yemen this would give investors a moment to pause some of it job it out is there more now from washington there that correspondent gabriel elizondo. The reaction from washington to this attack really took on 2 forms we never heard publicly from President Donald Trump<\/a> on this on saturday but the white house confirming that he did speak to the crown prince of saudi arabia and really just trump was offering his full support to saudi arabia and the crown prince of saudi arabia self defense trump saying that the u. S. Would support saudi arabia and also saying that this is attack was a threat to the Global Economy<\/a> but then you saw a very strong statement again from mike pompei oh the secretary of state later on saturday if there be a twitter in this statement just really pointing the finger at iran directly so a different tack from the president who just so support for saudi arabia stopped pompei o basically coming out and saying this was an attack by iran and iran will be held accountable for it just shows the 2 different messages that are really coming out of washington on saturday on this support for saudi arabia but also pointing the finger directly at iran important to point out the pump a 0 did not give any or provide any evidence at all on. Where he comes up with the idea that iran was behind this well be watching that closely in the coming hours and days to see if the state department or Defense Department<\/a> anyone else can give any is any evidence on this but clearly 2 big strong messages coming out of washington on saturday support for saudi arabia and also baled threats to iran threats that they are behind this according to the u. S. Well yemen sees the rebels have been using drones increasingly in combat they all small that cheap to produce and theyre capable of evading radar who says of use drones to avoid saudi arabias Patriot Missile<\/a> Defense Systems<\/a> allowing the rebels to file a Ballistic Missiles<\/a> into the kingdom and challenge the saudis vaso oil fields and Pipeline Network<\/a> of being a prime target saturdays strike on the i. Cake facility being the biggest and most daring to date and the rebels technology is becoming more sophisticated that their brains now able to reach target say much of saudi arabia and the you may well weve been speaking to bret velika of it choose a drone it had a former member of u. S. Army special operations. Drone strikes in this case hit deeper into saudi turk territory than previous strikes and that takes incredible sophistication its very interesting that you know this attack happened with that level of sophistication that we havent seen before what we dont know the exact type of drone in the attack we can look at previous whos the strikes to point to drones of iranian origin and specifically a drone known as the cost of 1. 00 the cost of 1. 00 was created by the iranians and provided to do these back in 2015 but what is interesting about it is publicly the range of that drone is only known to be up to 150 kilometers were talking about a location that was over 500 kilometers which means that theyre getting additional help in some way from the iranians to be able to push the range of this particular drone that is basically used meant to be a Suicide Attack<\/a> type of drone the problem is that they assumed that they were vulnerable i mean thats theyre looking at intelligence indicating that potentially the drones cant reach that location there and theyre not implementing what is known as Counter Drone Technology<\/a> which is technology thats available today to be able to detect and identify even automatically destroy these drones before theyre able to hit these pieces of critical infrastructures more of these critical facilities like this one need to start implementing an attack especially if were talking about a situation now where half of the saudis Oil Production<\/a> is being stopped because of it i mean that is has wide ranging economic consequences that far surpassed just the physical damage. 3 hours from now the polls will open in tunis is 2nd president ial elections since the arab spring despite the success of the 2011 revolution many voters seem disenchanted with the countrys new democracy Stephanie Decker<\/a> reports from the capital tunis. For 20 years feisal has been sitting in this exact same spot in tunis is ancient medina creating souvenirs engraved with tunisias past but the future is far harder to hammer out militant ideas with been going downhill since 2011 and everything politicians are arguing and we pay the price what used to cost 1. 00 dinar is now 10 or more used to cost team day now now its 30. 00 we ask him if he will vote in sundays election. Maybe know. He voted many times before he tells us and thats been more than enough for him he doesnt trust the politicians. 36 year old abdul harder feels the same disappointment he will go to the polling booth on sunday but in protest the commission for this is i will cast a blank vote so no one else can use it many of us are not satisfied the president ial elections were good for by 2 months after the death of the late president 92 year old. Its the 2nd major elections to be held here 8 years after mass protests force the ouster of strongman Zain Aberdeen Ben Ali<\/a> there are 26. 00 candidates among the Prime Minister<\/a> and defense minister a former president a couple of lawyers and even a media tycoon who is currently in prison they represent a crosssection of political social and religious ideals and asians have a lot of toys and thats a real difference and before the protests broke out here in 2011 which is in decades of Single Party Rule<\/a> tunisia is often cited as the only Success Story<\/a> of the uprisings which swept across north africa in the middle east from 2011 but its not that simple for 1st of all i mean having. The democratization process succeeding and this is happening. In the middle of the middle east and north africa this is unique this is an exception we cannot deny that at the same time what can democracy provide in terms of economic demands thats the major challenge so its a mixed story we meet a group of ladies in the medina they too arent happy with whats been achieved in the last 8 years economy security corruption the main issues everyone highlights this after the revolution everything had to change but nothing has changed everything is actually worse infrastructure for instance we just had terrible floods here the economy before everything was covered up but after the revolution its now out there to see tunisians go to the polls on sunday if no candidate gets over 50 percent of the vote there will be a runoff in november many will tell you that is an almost certain scenario. Parliamentary elections will take place in october the next 2 months could reshape the entire Political Landscape<\/a> and determine what to look like moving forward Stephanie Decker<\/a> tunis.
