Returned to their job post and if we compare the Traffic Volume its about 20 percent of the volume year earlier so now the Chinese Government is trying to get people to do home offices but many in fact train and Service Sectors they just dont have the luxury of working from home so thats why are now more and more local authorities to come up with like Free Transportation or subsidised transport for them in order to get these workers to come back to their work post as possible. Gold prices have climbed to their highest level since 2013 as continued worries over code 19 spur demand an ounce of gold currently costs over 1600. 00 nearly 10 percent on prices back at the beginning of december for news of the operate broke the rises being fueled by and based the fears that the epidemic could have a long term impact on supply chains in a range of Industries Many people turn to safe haven investments like Precious Metals in times of uncertainty. First of all they didnt seem to explain to a lawn mosque that his european gigafactory wouldnt be cool live in its fat an hour away unless youre driving a tesla maybe and im not sure if he realized how bureaucratic germany is tesla has come up against protests and a court order after clearing land before getting final approval for the project even though its pretty much a done deal this is germany and youve got to follow the rules. When the lawn musk came to germany last november to pick up the Golden Steering Wheel Award for the tesla model 3 he came armed with a bombshell for his audience weve decided to put it as the Gigafactory Europe in the berlin area the presenter wasnt the only one gasping with shock. Tell us this was big news not least for the citizens of gruen haida the sleepy brandenburg village where tesla plans to build its huge factory that could make up to 500000 electric cars a year. Many locals were delighted by the prospect of such a Large Company and potentially big jobs coming to their doorstep holders much less so initial enthusiasm turned to discord as protests about teslas arrival grew louder locals complained that wildlife would be affected and that the plant would affect Water Conservation and supply in the area. But what has stopped tesla literally in its tracks is the trees tesla is tearing a forest to build its factory but at the weekend the state court ruled it stop all work at the site until further notice acting on a complaint by the Brandenburg Green League a local environmental group. Earlier today d w spoke to a local resident who urged officials to make sure everything is done correctly before more trees are cut down. My newborn child and d. D. Ending give you my message to officials would be please wait for the permits and the finalize plans before you allow more treats to be felled for because we cant just put them back up by avoiding a come on feed on many german politicians business groups and most can self are heavily critical of this decision to say that this commercial Pinewood Plantation should not be a battleground the protesters disagree. Reporter Kate Ferguson is at the front lines of this battle. Kate tesla managed to get a gigafactory up and running within a year in china but this is germany did someone forget to tell us that. Well dan if someone forgot to tell you that he certainly find as you mentioned im on the front lines of this protest between those who want to get this gigafactory up and running as soon as possible and those who want to do everything in their power to stop but as you mentioned we are here in germany and there is a process for everything so while tessa has got the green light for this project it hasnt yet got the Construction Permit for it and thats because before that happens theres a chance for citizens to voice their objections to this project and the period by which they must voice has objections isnt until march the 5th night despite the us as you can probably see behind me tesla has already started filing the trees and this is what the blue league and veyron mentally group says is against the law now its up to a court to decide whether or not like to continue work ok lets talk about those trees and im over. Lets talk about electric cars because its something thats meant to be good for the planet for the greens and for this project could this damage germanys reputation as a place to do business. Well in the short answer yes it could and thats why the frustration and fury has been so unanimous on the green party itself has come out and called it absurd that a commercial pilot forest plantation is being used as a battleground for a project thats going to see 500000. 00 electric vehicles run off the Assembly Line each year potentially leading to a huge reduction in the diesel guzzling vehicles that are so pervasive on german roads and if you look at the background to this you can see just why people are so upset germanys economy is slowing down and its facing increasing competition from the likes of china and for years theres been criticism about the country having too much red tape for investors now finally an Innovative Company comes along and its progress is through or says at the very unfriendly i understand all the Environmental Concerns i mean tesla said its going to relocate colonies of ants reptiles birds and bats but while the fuss over a pine plantation that would have been. Well but environmental groups would say that this is about more than de forest station there are other concerns too especially to do with water consumption the new test like a factory is going to consume a staggering 372000 liters of water every hour and this coupled with the usual concerns of justin campaigners say is more than the timing of gloom haida can bear. A focus for us thank you very much. The Oil Trading Hub of singapore is going electric it aims to phase out petrol and diesel vehicles by 2040 the low lying island nation which faces rising sea levels says its committed to working against Climate Change the wealthy city state joins no way in britain in setting a target to take combustion engines off the streets singapore is one of the most expensive places in the world to buy a car and there are a few electric vehicles on the roads and you can adopt a budget includes measures to encourage green mobility including registration rebates for fully go trick cars and taxis. Lets go to andrea hang out correspondent in singapore and read tesla c. E. O. We have a masters criticize singapore for not supporting electric vehicles i guess hes got another new bucket. He sure does especially now that hes got that production plant running in shanghai but back to singapore been obviously this move is in line with the ruling governments Climate Change narrative as well as its pledged to the Paris Agreement now what took so long you may ask you know singapore stands to lose quite a big chunk from its fuel excise duties which is currently valued at about 1000000000. 00 a year and so you can imagine how much importance to do was and how how much is actually contribution to the countrys revenues but the good news or the bad news depending on which side you are on is that the government is going to relook at the tax structure in order to include e. V. A. s but will putting electric cars on the road save singapore from sinking. Absolutely not but there is Something Else that possibly will in the budget yesterday that was announced yesterday it will have a new coastal and Flood Protection Fund with an initial injection of 5000000000. 00 and this is obviously taking the cue from a Prime Minister who in last august projected the cost of Climate Change adaptation in singapore to be added about 100000000000. 00 over the course of 100 years and just tell me with so much of the budget being pumped into these initiatives were talking about huge amounts of money whats actually left at the end of the day well whats left is a whopping 6000000000. 00 package to help both lower and middle income families and this is a very expansionary budget and that already has put singapore in a budget deficit thats in the highest in the decade so youre probably thinking you know whats next how does it all work out well this is all things to an 18700000000 dollars surplus thats been accumulated over the current term and because the numbers even out the government wont have to dip into past reserves and raising thank you very much for your analysis.
