it's more than 100 years old and has been successful in treating diabetes. now they have struck on to this, it has suddenly taken a whole other dimension to it and it is now by far the most valuable

they can and they are investing and building factories, not only in denmark but around other places as well. the government is very supportive of the whole industry and trying to make sure that there is research going on and people are educated in the right way and they are not actually building factories, that's up to the company itself. that'sjust factories, that's up to the company itself.

numbers for danish gdp, current accounts, tax income and so on. it is very visible that all this money is really flowing in very rapidly. but it should be said also that a lot of it is flowing back out because a lot of the owners, the shareholders, are living across the world and also us danish people who are not working there, we are not feeling it so much in that sense that we are not getting paid for that but of course it is nice to see and there are some benefits. there is tax money coming in and it is helping to keep interest rates down in denmark because it strengthens the currency. alanjoyce is a name that has dominated the airline industry down—under. now, he's set to retire early, amid controversy over how he ran the airline. the chief executive of the australian flag—carrier qantas has quit two months ahead of planned, after a difficult few weeks for the company. joyce, who has held the post for 15 years, says his departure will help the firm "move ahead". vanessa hudson will take over as qantas' first female boss. 0ur international business correspondent theo leggett explains why mrjoyce has left early. his departure has been coming and it's been brought forward for very good reasons. if you look solely at the financial performance of qantas, then you would be justified in saying, "why on earth is mrjoyce leaving 7 " because as you say, they have just recorded a record annual profit. they steered themselves through the financial crisis. in financial terms, this is a robust company and throughout his tenure, mrjoyce focused on cutting costs. he focused on facing down unions, he focused on increasing profits, and he's done all of that. the problem is that a lot of this has come at the expense of qantas' reputation with its staff and with consumers. and over the past couple of years, these pressures have been starting to mount up. so in the wake of the covid pandemic, when qantas was returning to service, customer service was seen as being very poor. there were problems with baggage handling, there were problems with cancellations. all of that has added up. on top of that, there's been a scandal over qantas selling tickets for services that — allegedly at least — it knew had already been cancelled. thousands of services which had been cancelled up to a month or more even before they were booked, they'd already been cancelled. so that is being pursued by australia's competition regulator and the airline potentially faces quite steep fines. the company's been fighting a losing legal battle for a couple of years over its decision to sack 1,700 ground handling workers back in 2020. it outsourced theirjobs — that was supposedly done illegally. courts in australia have agreed with that, but it's gone to the high court — that's still being fought. so there's all of these pressures coming together and, as i say, if it were just the financial performance of the company, you can look at that and say qantas has succeeded in upping shareholder returns, but that's come at a cost of high prices and poor customer service and that is what's letting the company down. and mrjoyce has become a focal point for this. so his successor, vanessa hudson, she's going to have to keep the finances in good condition as qantas faces more competition, but also rebuild bridges with staff and with passengers. today marks the end of an era for airbnb hosts in new york city. after years of relaxed rental agreements, from today, the city council will enforce what they call local law 18. it requires short—term rentals — like airbnbs — to be registered with the city. listings can only be made by those who actually live in the place they're renting out and they must be present. the new rules also stipulate that people can only have two guests at a time. in practice, this means thousands of listings not adhering to the new rules would be taken off airbnb's site, and failure to comply could result in up to $5,000 in fines, per stay. the change of law has angered hosts. but advocates for new york's tenants and communities are hopeful this could ease the city's housing shortages. dr david wachsmuth is associate professor of urban planning at mcgill university in montreal. he has researched the impact of airbnb on new york extensively, and talked to me about the impact of the decision, on the city, and on the company. right now, new york is one of the top tourist destinations in the world. and at least, looking back over the last decade, airbnb has been a pretty significant part of the tourist accommodation landscape. but the fact is that — unlike a lot of let's say smaller towns, resort destinations that really rely on home sharing to ensure an adequate supply of tourist accommodations — new york is not exactly hurting for hotels. so, if the change in rules results in many thousands of airbnbs being deactivated as i think most people expect it will, it is still going to amount to much more than a drop in the bucket it is still going to amount to not much more than a drop in the bucket in terms of the overall flow of visitors who come to the city every year. so that's the impact on new york, talk to me about the impact on airbnb itself. because we know new york city, a huge generator of revenue for that firm? that's right. if you go back about a decade ago, new york was the second or third largest market for airbnb alongside london and paris. but that hasn't been true for some time now and part of the reason for that is that, frankly, the city government's been at war with airbnb for the last decade, trying to find a way to enforce what they see under a long—standing rules prohibiting commercial short—term rentals in the city. so, i think airbnb is definitely going to be hurting from the loss of business. but the days where new york was one of their most lucrative markets are actually somewhat in the past at this point. the view there on airbnb and the clampdown in new york city. other countries and cities perhaps looking at that very closely. in other news: the price of oil has revised. this is after russia and saudi arabia limited output. russia's deputy prime minister said

reasonable cost and technological support. the renewables will boost economy to all new industries, create jobs and drive development including by reaching over 600 million africans living without access to power. renewable energy could be the african miracle that we must make it happen. we must all work togetherfor must make it happen. we must all work together for africa to become a renewable energy superpower. anne soy had this update from nairobi the message coming out of the inaugural africa climate summit is that africa can lead the world in transitioning to green energy and the kenyan president has called it green growth. the un secretary—general antonio gutierrez said that africa has the opportunity to do that. they have the minerals, needed to make that transition. they have the resources on the continent to do that. however, the debt burden stands on the way and he called for change of course in the way the international financial systems work. he urged for the creation of a mechanism that will allow for debt relief, that will allow countries to have longer pay terms to repay their debt and pay suspension. the president did talk about interest rates that african countries have to be up to five times more than the rest of the world because of the perceived risk and said that this needs to be changed to enable african countries to make that transition. they are calling

wake up and go to work it doesn't give you a chance to stop and think, why this is happening to us? and i'm very much supported by inspiring stories of every day because in every tragedy, there is a story of saving, help, heroism and it inspires me a lot. i am holding on due to that and so are, i think, most of my colleagues and friends. how do you deal with other strains on yourfamily? for your

respond to that? translation: well, it depends. on the way you would like to look at winston churchill. of course, he is the historical figure. i did not dream about my husband becoming an historic person. maybe it's selfish, but i need my husband, not a historicalfigure beside me. but, on the other hand, if it is about a leader who led his country through the difficulties of war, if that kind of comparison would be accurate, i'd love it. he really does has the energy, the willpower, the inspiration and stubbornness to go through this war so we finally see our long—awaited victory. i believe in him. and i support him. i know that he has enough strength. for any other person i know, i think it would be much harder to handle this situation. he really is a very strong and resilient person and this resilience is what we all need right now. the great wall of china was built, so it is said, to protect china's borders — and keep invaders out. but it seems it's no match for modern machinery. take a look at this — a road has been carved out through the ancient barrier, allegedly by two construction workers using an excavator. their reason — they wanted to create a short cut. with the story — here's our beijing correspondent stephen mcdonell. the machinary tracks were the giveaway and you can imagine the scene, the police have arrived, there's the great wall of china and there's a huge hole in it, and they simply followed this trial down, down, down, down, to where there are a couple trail down, down, down, down, to where there are a couple of people sitting next to an excavator. apparently, we are told according to state media, they questioned a man and a woman who admitted they had punched a hole through china's most famous historical structure in order to create a short cut for them in the future to get from point a to point b, presumably they live nearby the great wall. this will seem shocking to people across the world but to explain a little bit what it's like — the great wall of china is really a series of structures that goes over vast areas right across northern china. all these different types of battlements in different states of disrepair, they were built at different times, and actually, a lot of the destruction to the ming dynasty great wall — and that's what we're talking about here, a part that was built between the 14th and 17th centuries — a lot of the destruction to that great wall has been because farmers have stolen bricks from the great wall and use them to build farmhouses or pig pens and the like. in recent years, the government has gone to a lot more trouble to protect the wall because it is so important historically and culturally for chinese people, and while those localfarmers might be blase about smashing up a section of it, i can tell you a lot of people in china will not be happy about this. and these two people who have been caught by the police, they are in a lot of trouble. fascinating story. one sorry we are keeping an eye on out of washington because former national chairman of the proud boys, that group behind the january six attack on the us capitol, we are expecting a

story, we will return to washington and bring you up to date. you may remember, last week we had a whole series ofjail sentences handed out by other members of the proud boys. so, we are waiting for that. as soon as there is div elements, we will return to it. footage has emerged on social media which appears to show a british made tank in action in ukraine for the first time. bbc verified have been looking at it in more detail. this video has caught the attention of many of those following the progress of ukraine's counteroffensive against russia. in the occupied southern regions. while bbc verified team has so far been unable to precisely locate the footage, it's consistent with other material that shows ukrainian forces deployed in the area around the village which they recently retook. why has it caught the attention? because it shows for the first time one of the 1a british made challenger tanks are donated to the ukrainian armed forces in combat on the front line. along with the leopard two, this is the most modern, capable tank at their disposal. it is understood to be deployed and used by one of the best trained and equipped units. how do we know this is a challenger to mike? ourteam has been we know this is a challenger to mike? our team has been speaking to experts and comparing the video is a reliable reference images. while the shape of the turret is similar, it is the gun sights which are a distinctive feature which help us identify this as a challenger too. there is also the external fuel containers at the rear. the challenger is the only one of the western tanks with this feature. a western defence source confirmed to our defence correspondentjonathan our defence correspondent jonathan beale that our defence correspondentjonathan beale that this is indeed a challenger two, telling the bbc the four person crew had survived. the defence specialist points out the value of western battle tanks is even were knocked out or destroyed, the
