The ryan is a major route for goods to reach the north sea of correspond, it matters. Freshman was on a coal barge on the rhine to day. And since this we have to understand the rhine is the most important german waterway for shipping. And they are still carrying coal. But they are carrying one 3rd of the possible cargo that the ship could actually carry this coal. This amounts to about 16 cargo trucks. We have Oil Pipelines that go alongside the rain, ryan, and theres also trains carrying cargo. But both of them are at full capacity at the moment, and that means it will be very difficult to keep up the supplies further south. Now we had a severe economic down shift after a drought in 2018 and with a coming droughts in, you know, with the Climate Crisis to go. We are looking at a downturn of economy. Seat of your porter matters freshman there. Another consequence of europes high temperatures and lack of rain is rising electricity costs and france. Thats because Nuclear Operators in the country have been forced to stop production. At some reactors, a nuclear accounts for 70 percent of Frances Energy production. During the long time, Energy Exporter into an importer to dub his lease lewis reports, france has been baking and temperatures of up to 40 degrees for months. Now. That is putting french Nuclear Plants under strain authorities or having to bend the rules for about a 5th of them just to keep them running. Usually in Nuclear Power plant operators are only allowed to discharge their cooling water into rivers like that. Go on. If the rivers temperature is under a certain limit, that is to protect the local flora and fauna county, though, authorities have suspended that rule at certain reactors like the goldfish plant. Here behind me, they say its the only way to guarantee francis power supply or for leader on april a one photo. But these environmental activists are outraged that rules are being suspended for Nuclear Power plants. When River Systems are already under stress in the heat and drought, he norman, warmness on ball. They say warming them up even more is disastrous thing that the for vicar, for so its a catastrophe for plants and fish it. Some of them die, which has ripple effects throughout the whole food chain with fuel win. For example, there are no micro algae, certain small fish die. That anomaly food for bigger fish or plus warmer water contains more bacteria in order to make it potable. We have to add a lot of chemicals, which people have been drinking volleyball under the ring. But with half of all reactors close for maintenance, france desperately needs the ones that are running to keep going. Power company f, which declined our request for an interview, has called the situation extraordinary. And yet the Current Issues then seemed to be an existential problem for a French Nuclear power. The government is about to nationalize eddie f and plans to build new reactors. Lets go now to some of the other Global Business stories.

Or tuesday, march the 45th anniversary of the death of rocknroll lodge and Elvis Presley. He was only 42 and he died. But his music and his legacy remain immensely popular and lucrative, especially this year. A new movie about Elvis Presley has racked up more than 250000000. 00 in the box office worldwide. Even before heading video on demand. Earlier this year, streaming companies sent a dime rolled out a 24 hour elvis channel. Theres even a netflix, animated show in the works in which elvis is a secret agent. Well, was earned 30000000. 00 in 2021. Thats according to an annual list of the revenues of deceased celebrities published by forbes. Those earnings come through the licensing of song catalogs, libraries, performance rights. And of course the image itself of the celebrity. And elvis is far from the only star whos had a lucrative post mortem. At number 3 on forbes list is michael jackson, who earned 75000000. 00 in 2021. Thats on the back of revenue from over a 1000000000 streams of his back catalogue. Number 2 is prince. His air sold their stakes in his estate, bringing the company over a 100000000. 00. As not just musicians. Number one on the list of top earning, celebrities might surprise you. Its british childrens author ra dall, author of charlie and the chocolate factory, and james and the giant peach among other children stories. He died in 1990, but still managed to make half a 1000000000 dollars last year. Thats after netflix bought the Family Company that owns the rights to those and other stories. I spoke with you to be culture correspondence, Scott Roxborough earlier and asked if elvis was likely to climb higher, enlist this year . Definitely, definitely. I think so. I mean, all of us for having died a 45 years ago as having a great year of proof, the old adage that death can be a great career move for some artists. Were seeing, of course, this boost an interest in elvis, around of the release of, of as lumens a film elvis biotech of the king. Im. Thats been hugely successful launched at the Cannes Film Festival and has been a real block buster, a surprising a many, but really re igniting interest in elvis. The person elvis serve the icon. And of course, the music of elvis, which has been sort of shooting up the, the streaming charts as a result of scott who typically controls the rights of a major movie star, major star whos to see such as elvis. Is that the Family Estates or is it larger Media Companies or brand managers . Yeah, its different according to each celebrity, each musician im in alices case, its incredibly complicated. And most of the music of his music belongs to the label. Our ca, because elvis and his a notorious a manager colonel, tom parker sold most of those rights away before. Um elvis died. But im a group called authentic brand group, owns the image writer, most of the image rights and merchandising rights to elvis. And they are one of the groups that really stands to profit as, as we see this elvis revival because those rights, the merchandising rights, the image rights are some of the most valuable rights of the new marketplace. It seems like these days, theyre more avenue than ever to monetize the properties of these dead stars. And thinking of course of the swedish pop group, abba who actually released recently, holographic avatars for themselves. Some have speculated they could be even be using commercials, should we expect to see more of this in the future . Yeah, definitely. I mean a little behind a lot of this, a desire to revive of these music celebrities. Its not really not the music itself. Thats of interest, but these other revenues that you can generate around them. I mentioned merchandising and, and various other ways. The, this new avenue of holographic tours is, is a whole, a new sphere of money making. Weve seen avenue quite successfully. There was just a whitney houston, a holographic tour in of vegas. Im a roy orbisons, son has is planning to send his dads hologram on tour and hope you will be crying all the way to the bank with that. So theres are seeing a whole section of, of a new revenues come out that allows people to really exploit the, the celebrity. Um and uh, the artistry of, of musicians who have, who have long since left us. All right, sitting a hologram on tor brave new world there. Scott roxborough with adobe culture. Thank you very much. As well, just to be clear, abba is not dead, but this the compact disc is much closer to it is now officially 40 years since the 1st music cd came out. And since the shiny discs quickly became popular all over the world, on the 1st issue was in fact, abas is called the visitors, bruce and hanover, germany. What made the cd so hot sound quality was way better than cassette tapes and vinyl could provide. And it was easy to skip to a song that you liked, but the big idea behind the city was also its downfall. Music was digitized and that concept later led straight to streaming lets it for me and the dw business team, find out more about these and other stories on logic is out d, w dot com slash business are also on youtube or the dw news channel.
