As china continues to face accusations of human rights violations, we reports from western Companies Including folks foreign are coming and the pressure of their operations in the region. Also coming up germanys Constitutional Court rules against the government, Nuclear PhaseoutCompensation Program breaches the fundamental rights of companies and company which as those surface a few should not exist. Thats very real outgoing. Siemens fossil joe kayser tells us he has few regrets over his controversial 7 years of to help business in berlin. Welcome to the program hour. We begin with a report from one of the most secretive places on the planet. The Chinese Government continues to ignore criticism of the vast network of detention camps in the Northwestern Region of jack. More than a 1000000 people, mainly weaker muslims, are thought to have been detained. There. Folks foreign is among the western companies being criticized by human Rights Groups for continuing to invest in the region. For the german carmaker has defended its decision to remain in shin chang correspondent matthew sperling. A report were empty, the capital of chinas western seems young region to weakest and other minorities. This is one of the most heavily policed regions in the world. Chinas repressive policies against ethnic minorities have been called a genocide zone room. She is also home to german carmaker folks of arms most controversial investment. W. Is the only International Car maker to have a plant in the region that would be and shut off. We made the decision to build this factory more than 10 years ago. It was a decision made solely for economic reasons. There was no political motivation factor. There is no in a politically and socially centered them environment worries, as china has covered the region with a massive system of prisons, Internment Centers and reeducation camps. Australias asp institute has documented 380. 00 facilities across the region. Hundreds of thousands, possibly millions have disappeared in these facilities on a recent visit and constantly followed around and stopped from filming some of the facilities of official prisons, some are unmarked, and some cynically designated as bookish trains. There are several levels of security from high Security Prisons to just fenced compound. Kyra, some iconic cars are born in china has spent several months in one of these socalled vocational schools in 2018. What they had to learn there had little to do with professional skills. He says, we make it in this camp, we had to sing the chinese anthem and other communist songs. They taught us that china was the strongest country in the world, and we had to study materialism of the 19th communist party congress. Thats in there. What china is portraying the mass detentions as a means to provide opportunities on the job market. But there is growing evidence of forced labor inside the camps or after release when former detainees have been forced to sign up with employment agencies. V. W. Says theres no indication of forced labor and its operations have, a shift in the law to direct c. , but we hire all our employees directly. They send their resume and we have a job interview. And then the hate charge department and the operating department make a decision based on the resume and the impression they gave me was happened to them before is something that is hard for us to know this stuff or as yet this is through an extreme shriya enough to footy, chinese authorities are aware of the controversy my mind to stay in their car this time, but they call a factory. God will get round. Filming is not allowed here. Its a good day. Just tell, you know, i saw you from my window coming out. What did they tell you then . However, they just supervise our work. V. W. Says it will stick to its investment, but the controversy is likely to remain economic levy. W. s investment never paid off. It was planned to build 50000. 00 cars a year here, but its output is less than half that sticking with china and thursday was supposed to be the deadline for a Chinese Tech Company by stands to sell its u. S. At tick tock. So as that happen, lets cross to our financial correspondent in new york yen score to yen. So whats the latest on this yet, according to one news source or to talk is so wondering if the u. S. Administration has forgotten about the band. Well, that would be understandable if it was this political situation that weve seen after the election to be on the safe side to talk, went in front of an Appeals Court to file for an extension 30 day. And they are also questioning the executive order of u. S. President donald trump. I believe it was back in august. So yes, we still dont know whats going to happen with a tick tock so far at the service is some continuing and i have the impression ticktock will try to get some time and maybe make it up to generally 20 years when probably a u. S. President. Then joe biden will be sworn in, so all of that might be the tactic of a tick tock, but so far, no word from washington. Whats going to happen was the service he ends, weve had the latest u. S. Jobless think is new applications for Unemployment Benefits down 48000 last week that said bigger drop than alison expected. So whats behind this improving picture . Yeah, well i mean thats what weve seen for the past couple of weeks and months. The job market is improving step by step, but still we are ahead of the print of pandemic records that dated back to 982 when we had a little less than 700000 of those some applications. And thats where we are still standing. And overall we still have more than 20000000 americans who are receiving aid one way or the other. So the picture is getting a bit brighter, but well, it is still not great and to now was winter approaching. The big question is, if this situation in the u. S. Labor market actually might get a bit worse. So all the good news is yes, the numbers came in better than expected, but the picture is definitely still not bright. Thanks for bringing us up to date a German GovernmentCompensation Scheme for Energy Companies hit by the planned Nuclear Phase out will have to be completely reworked this after the Constitutional Court here found in favor of energy firm fattened fowl saying the scheme violated its fundamental rights germany began its phase out after the Fukushima Nuclear disaster in 2011. The Swedish Company can hope therell be more financial compensation on the way for decommissioning. Its Nuclear Power plant compensation for investments that became redundant. Soon after the reactor meltdown in fukushima in japan. The German Government in 2011 said it was reducing the certified life spans of the countrys 17 Nuclear Plants for safety reasons, but also had 2 plants in clement bones, brittle in northern germany. At the moment, only 6 Nuclear Generators are active in germany. Theyre all slated for compulsory shutdown by 2022. Button for has not restricted its legal activities to germany. Its also taking its case to the International Center for settlement of investment disputes at the world bank where its also demanding billions of euros compensation for the loss of its power stations. Staying in germany and industrial giant, siemens has posted billions of euros in profits for the last financial year. Despite the coronavirus pandemic battering parts of its business, its bottom line showed net profits of 4200000000 euros. Thats a quarter less than the Previous Year or less half the profit came from the recent spin off of siemens energy, the biggest cases final year in charge. Hes exiting siemens to be replaced by roland, by the outgoing chief executive has been speaking today to be a business. We asked joe kayser how he sought to find a balance between satisfying shareholders and being a socially responsible company. But the old way of, of thinking, you know, the presence of business is business, meaning dont care about anybody, just about cello value. Thats outdated and it should have never been that way. A company which does not Serve Society should not exist. Thats my view. So we have to have a societal value. And if you look at the stakeholders, employees cost them a shareholders, the 3rd edition, theyre the ones that he said, new constituency, and thats the society. So they have to say they want to, you know, have companies, performances, they inability, they want their companies to be responsible. They do not Want Companies to just fire people, because theres a pandemic issue, which is of the nature which can be, which can be defeated. Ok so that south korea has carried out successful tests of flying taxi jones in the capital seoul, the unmanned to see, to act craft flew for 7 minutes at an altitude of 50 meters. Once fully operational, the drones were cut 40 minutes off the journey time from the International Airport to the city. The demonstration is part of the countrys road map or perhaps much of the flight plan to commercial urban travel. By 2025, m. Plans for a new highway in kenyas capital have hit a snag all because of a century old fig tree. It was due to be routed to make way for a support pillar for the chinese funded roads.

Well, there are thousands of ethiopia going to the Sudanese Border because the conflict is just looking forward to people who the United Nations is saying up to 200000 may be affected if the conflict goes forward. You may know there is an air strike up being all over this. To break out will be huge. Something weve never seen in such a long time and a country that has known conflict for a many, many generations. Ok, right. As you live right there with food into some of the people that are feeling dandified officials in sudan say that theyre not coping with the overwhelming numbers. There is also a big ever trained community. These are refugees who are in, i aint how they been. It being a fix it we all know exactly how they will be affected because you dont tell me that foreign connection has been suspended, but we can guess there are, there will be affected in a much worse case because there always a new deal being in need of shelter, and unless there is a movement of food and all kinds of aid coming back and forth, which has been again suspended, there will be the ones i thought would be the most invisible victims in this conflict. Samuel, how could neighboring states in ethiopia be drawn into this conflict . Well, you know, thats, you know, ethiopia is a huge country. Its a country with the 1000000. People live in it. Its also the host of refuse from south sudan and sudan and somalia and so on. So that whatever happens in ethiopia, a country that is important to the region is most likely to neighboring countries. And this conflict if it moves forward into its likely countries, which does not who are there for a long, long time in conflicts or a newer, more peace kind of story. Before i became to borrow and put to use untold number of other gravies. And abby asked me, it critic said that this was a, a pointless and avoidable civil war to his words. And he said that that could lead to the disintegration of the ethiopian state. Is that a commonly held view . Depends if one is referring to the Prime Minister won the nobel peace prize. Peace prize is much higher and youre no longer leader leader much, much higher. And there was a conflict there. Maybe if you will be so much peaceful trying to bring it with leadership. You are so obviously disappointed that with which is the debate i mean when it comes to whats happening again, all right. You know, you want to know just a year ago. All right, thank you so much.

Riot police in london, a crackdown on protesters on wednesday, people gathered on the streets in defiance of a protest ban ordered by the city authorities. The demonstrators say they are unhappy with the countrys massive unemployment and rising cost of living Security Forces hit back hard at the gatherings with mass arrests, tear gas, and beatings, making police brutality. One more grievance for the protesters, we are miserable, we are hungry. Just everything we lack Running Water light buses and today is another example of this. People are doing badly. Theyre complaining, theyre the worst fever. The angolan government are thieves and bandits. Everyone knows this. Even babies. When Joya Lawrenceville became president in 2017, angolans hoped it would mark a new era lawrence or took over from jos eduardo dos santos, who had ruled for nearly 4 decades.
