Japanese university and government venture funds play a much larger role in Japan than in the West. I've always considered this difference to be, on balance, neutral, today's guest makes a convincing case that these funds are actually hurting the startup ecosystem here. Today we sit down and talk with Hiroaki Suga, co-founder of PeptiDream.  PeptiDream is now a $7 billion biotech company, but it started out as a couple of university faculty members funding operations out of their own pockets. PeptiDream succeeded by using a very different model than that used by either the current generation of university spin-outs or biotech startups in the West. It's an interesting blueprint that other biotech firms might want to copy, but only if they are really sure that their technology will actually work. It's a great conversation, and I think you will really enjoy it.

I'm Tim Romero and thanks for joining me. Today, I'd like to share some amazing insights about the startups being spun out of Japan's universities, because what's going on here is very different than what's happening in e US or the EU.  This is a special selects show, and I first spoke with Hiroaki Suga co-founder of PeptiDream a few years ago. The points he made in that conversation, however, have only  become more important since then,  and I'll be back with an update after we talk. So here we go! --- We've talked a lot before about how there are not many life sciences startups in Japan and what can be done to change that. But there are, of course, some and some incredibly successful ones. PeptiDream is one of those startups. Founded by a small team at a university lab, PeptiDream has grown from nothing to a $6 billion company. Today, we sit down with the founder of PeptiDream and fellow guitarist, Hiroaki Suga, and he'll explain how they're working with pharmaceutical companies all over the world to discover new drugs and new treatments. We also talk about the rather unusual business strategy that allow them to scale up with relatively little financing and to land deals with global drug companies a lot sooner than most biotech startups can. And I've got to say, my conversation with Dr. Suga really changed my mind about the role the Japanese universities and the government should play in fostering startups and innovation here. It's a fascinating and unique perspective from inside the system, and I guarantee you, it's not what you think it is. But you know, Hiroaki tells that story much better than I can, so let's get right to the interview. Interview Tim: I'm sitting here with Hiroaki Suga, the cofounder of PeptiDream. So, thanks for sitting down with me today. Hiroaki Suga: Sure. Very welcome. Tim: PeptiDream is a peptide discovery platform but what is that exactly? Hiroaki: So, the technology started from over 25 years ago. I had idea. Is that okay? I want to develop RNA catalyst. The so-called ribozymes. I did a post doc with Professor Jack Szostak in Harvard Medical School. I run the techniques for the in vitro selections but I didn't really get major success, but I was fortunate enough that I get an academic position in State Univer...

EU energy policy puts politics ahead of people (Part 2) The Duran: Episode 1121 Yatsenyuk said that Ukraine lost $ 5 billion due to untimely purchase of gas – Gazeta.Ru https://thegoaspotlight.com/2021/10/16/yatsenyuk-said-that-ukraine-lost-5-billion-due-to-untimely-purchase-of-gas-gazeta-ru/

Mike and Melanie of AVASK talk about what sellers need to know before expanding their ecommerce businesses to Europe and other markets abroad.   Many sellers think that selling or expanding into the EU is a nightmare, what with the language barriers and different compliance requirements. I myself have done it in the past and found it quite difficult.   That being said, my guest today, Melanie Shabangu, will help me debunk common myths all of us might believe about selling in the EU, and she'll explain exactly how to keep an ecommerce business profitable when expanding abroad.    Melanie is a tax expert and ecommerce accountant for AVASK, an accounting firm that specializes in helping ecommerce sellers expand their businesses into Europe, the UAE, and even Australia.    In this episode, I have the pleasure of picking her brain about what selling in the EU is like, especially for those who have little to no experience with it. We'll be talking about myths that might be putting off a lot of US sellers from selling in the EU, VAT and other compliance requirements, and the overall economics of selling in markets abroad.   Timestamps:    Introduction - 0:00 Introduction to Melanie and AVASK Accounting - 1:35 Myths you might believe about selling in the EU - 2:35 The basic economics of selling in the EU - 4:46 How much it costs to translate an Amazon listing - 13:54 What is Value Added Tax? - 26:53 What your costs could look like with VAT - 27:56 Standard compliance requirements when expanding into European markets - 32:45   I want to thank Melanie for all the valuable stuff she shared today. I definitely wish I knew all of these before trying to sell abroad—I hope it motivated you to give it a shot as much as it did me.   If you want to learn more about what we discussed in this episode, shoot Melanie an email at melanie@avaskgroup.com or contact their expansion team at expansion@avaskgroup.com.   On the topic of selling across borders, we're running an exclusive giveaway for our friends in Canada.

The hospitality sector has a problem: it just can't get the staff. Businesses from bars to hotels are facing a massive worker shortage, as job vacancies in the sector hit their highest levels since records began. Last month, in an open letter to the government, various hospitality professionals warned that the sector was “close to imploding” because of acute labour shortages. And the cracks are showing, as outlets still struggling post-lockdown are forced to resort to a skeleton staff: reducing opening hours or even closing altogether. While some blame the pandemic and others point to a drop in EU workers after Brexit, figures from the Office for National Statistics suggest the industry was struggling to find and retain staff even before these events. So what's at the heart of this crisis – and more importantly, how can we fix it? Sheila Dillon assembles a panel of hospitality insiders to find out: talking to Kate Nicholls, chief executive of the national trade organisation UKHospitality; Sarah John, the founder and director of Boss Brewing, a craft brewery based in Swansea; and Niall McKenna, chef and owner of James Street & Co restaurant group in Belfast, comprising two restaurants and a cookery school. We also hear from chef and restaurateur Angela Hartnett on how kitchen culture is changing for the better; and Samantha Evans and Shauna Guinn - co-founders of the Hang Fire Southern Kitchen in Barry, Wales - tell us about their decision to close permanently because of staff shortages.

Anudit Vikram, former board member of the IAB Data Center of Excellence and Chief Product Officer, MediaMath joins me in a discussion about consumer privacy (amid Amazon fines), Google's FLoC (which recently wrapped up the first phase of testing), and addressable/scalable identity solutions to replace third-party cookies. Anudit explains, “While there has been a flurry of activity preparing for the demise of the third-party cookie, the pushback around it and signals from the EU hinted that it would not be smooth sailing for Google, so, ultimately, it's not a complete shock that the timing changed. There is no question that first-party data performs better, and that the quality of third-party data is questionable, but that is not the only factor driving transparency. Transparency to the actual user – what we call addressability – is directly affected too. To continue the momentum of creating a more transparent supply chain, industry leaders must continue work around the activation of first party identity options and creating cohort-based solutions. As far as next steps for the industry, marketers, advertisers, publishers and the like should use this time to start working with first party identity solutions and perfect the stack they will use, while still being able to leverage the scale provided by third-party cookies.”

Trainiere dein Hörverstehen mit den Nachrichten der Deutschen Welle von Samstag – als Text und als verständlich gesprochene Audio-Datei.US-Militär: Al-Kaida-Chef in Syrien getötet Die USA haben nach eigenen Angaben einen der Anführer des Terrornetzwerks Al-Kaida in Syrien getötet. Abdul Hamid al-Matar sei bei einem Drohnenangriff im Nordwesten Syriens ums Leben gekommen, erklärte ein Sprecher des US-Zentralkommandos. Die Extremistenorganisation stelle weiterhin "eine Bedrohung für die Vereinigten Staaten und unsere Verbündeten dar". Al-Kaida nutze Syrien als Rückzugsort, um sich neu zu formieren und Einsätze im Ausland zu planen. Fast 200.000 Migranten an US-Südgrenze aufgegriffen An der US-Südgrenze zu Mexiko sind im September rund 192.000 Migranten beim Versuch eines illegalen Grenzübertrittes gefasst worden. Im September des Vorjahres waren es nur knapp 58.000 Migranten gewesen. Die Zahl der aufgegriffenen Menschen ist seit Monaten sehr hoch. Im Juli etwa war sie mit rund 213.000 Menschen auf den höchsten Stand seit 20 Jahren angestiegen. Die meisten Migranten werden von den US-Behörden sofort wieder abgeschoben. Viele versuchen ihr Glück dann aber erneut. Umstrittenes Abtreibungsgesetz aus Texas bleibt juristisch vorerst in der Schwebe Der Oberste Gerichtshof der USA hat das weitgehende Abtreibungsverbot in Texas zunächst in Kraft gelassen. Der Supreme Court in Washington setzte aber für den 1. November eine Anhörung zu dem umstrittenen sogenannten Herzschlag-Gesetz an. Die Regierung von US-Präsident Joe Biden hatte beantragt, das texanische Gesetz, das Abtreibungen etwa ab der sechsten Schwangerschaftswoche verbietet, umgehend außer Kraft zu setzen. Merkel: Ein Flüchtling ist keine Krise, sondern ein Mensch Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel hat große Abneigung gegen den Begriff "Flüchtlingskrise" bekundet. Sie vermeide das Wort grundsätzlich, weil ein Flüchtling keine Krise sei, sondern ein Mensch, sagte sie der "Süddeutschen Zeitung" mit Blick auf den Herbst 2015. "Wir hatten es mit Fluchtbewegungen zu tun, die von Schleppern organisiert wurden, und wir mussten politische Antworten geben", so Merkel. Sie hatte 2015 die deutschen Grenzen demonstrativ offen gelassen und dafür innenpolitisch und in der EU viel Kritik kassiert. Österreich droht Ungeimpften mit Lockdown Die österreichische Regierung hat neue Verschärfungen der Corona-Maßnahmen für Ungeimpfte beschlossen. Sollten mehr als 600 Intensivbetten mit Corona-Patienten belegt sein, werden künftig Ausgangsbeschränkungen für Menschen ohne Impfschutz eingeführt, wie die Regierung mitteilte. Sie dürften dann ihre Wohnungen nur noch in Ausnahmefällen verlassen. Ausgenommen davon sind den Angaben zufolge alle, die nicht geimpft werden können, etwa Kinder unter zwölf Jahren. Derzeit sind in Österreich mehr als 220 Intensiv-Betten mit Corona-Patienten belegt. Sieben-Tage-Inzidenz erreicht wieder 100 in Deutschland Die Sieben-Tage-Inzidenz in Deutschland hat erstmals seit Mitte Mai den Wert von 100 erreicht. Das Robert Koch-Institut gab die Zahl der Neuinfektionen pro 100.000 Einwohner und Woche mit exakt 100,0 an. Die Gesundheitsämter meldeten dem RKI 15.145 Corona-Neuinfektionen. Das sind 4196 Fälle mehr als am vergangenen Samstag. Die Zahl der innerhalb von sieben Tagen in Kliniken neu aufgenommenen Corona-Patienten je 100.000 Einwohner gab das RKI zuletzt mit 2,68 an. Der bisherige Höchstwert dieser sogenannten Hospitalisierungs-Inzidenz hatte im vergangenen Winter bei 15,5 gelegen. Augsburg kassiert deutliche Niederlage in Mainz Im Freitagsspiel der 1.

APPLE CAR BATTERY TALKS BREAKING DOWN UNDER WEIGHT OF APPLE'S DEMANDS "Two of three potential Apple Car vendors are reportedly having difficulty meeting Apple's production requirements. Specifically, a new report claims that the main stumbling block is manufacturing advanced lithium ion phosphate (LFP) batteries in the United States for Apple, and the effort it would take for exclusivity. Suppliers cited in the report are BYD and CATL. CATL is the world's main battery manufacturer for electric vehicles." reports Apple Insider: "CATL is a Chinese firm, which is said to be complicating matters. It reportedly had difficulty sourcing appropriate staff in the US suitable to assembling a product development team just for Apple. BYD has a plant in the US already, seemingly making it a better choice. However, the company allegedly said to Apple that it would not build a plant just for the Apple Car. The report on Friday morning from Reuters claims that the companies told Apple at some point in the last two months that they were not able to meet Apple's requirements. Since both manufacturers told Apple that they would not be able to meet demands, talks have stalled. Both companies, however, are said to remain open to overtures from Apple."

The money — which is coming from Tennessee's current $2.1 billion budget surplus — is the single largest investment in the history of the state. It comes at a time when many major automakers are looking to build new facilities in the US dedicated to EVs, batteries, or other supply chain components necessary for electric vehicles." writes The Verge: "South Korean battery company SK Innovation, which it calls “Blue Oval City.” Ford is also simultaneously spinning up battery factories in Kentucky. Ford will get $500 million in the form of a grant. The rest is being allocated in a few different ways — the result of a special session held this week where state legislators haggled for three days. The state will commit $200 million for road construction around the site and $138.2 million for other infrastructure and demolition work. Another $40 million will go to building a Tennessee College of Applied Technology site near the campus, and $5 million is being offered up for legal services."

According to Chinese media, Tesla has secured an initial order of 10 GWh worth of LFP battery cells from BYD, to power the Model 3 and Y in their standard range versions. 10 GWh is enough to assemble more than 181,000 battery packs for the Tesla Model 3 with 55 kWh each, or more than 166,000 for the Model Y with 60 kWh each." writes Pedro for PushEVs: "Currently, the LFP battery packs of Tesla made with CATL's battery cells only reach an energy density of 126 Wh/kg, but BYD's Blade battery packs are more energy dense and have already reached 150 Wh/kg. Not only the cobalt-free BYD Blade battery packs have good energy density, performance, safety and longevity, they currently also have the lowest kWh price, estimated at 55 euros (64 USD)."

The Level 2 driver-assist system, as defined by the SAE Scale of Autonomy, is not actually self-driving and requires a human driver to pay attention at all times -- and Tesla's trying to allow only the most responsible folks into its beta program. Except it's pretty simple for anyone who ponies up $10,000 to earn a perfect Safety Score, the metric Tesla is using to grant access." reports CNET.com: "deleted Reddit post that guide drivers through the steps to earn the coveted perfect Safety Score (which is also used for Tesla Insurance, by the way). One way is to simply not send the driving behavior data to Tesla; another is to restart the process entirely. Tesla drivers have the option to hold down both scroll-wheel buttons on the steering wheel to wipe the car's Media Control Unit. This also wipes the data used for the Safety Score. If the driver does something inappropriate, or even if they make a minor boo-boo while driving, they can erase it before Tesla even calculates the potential ding to a Safety Score."

This promise has helped Tesla sell vehicles, but it turned out to be inaccurate." says Fred @ Electrek: "Last night, CEO Elon Musk was asked whether or not these owners will get access to FSD Beta, and he confirmed that they will but they will need a “camera upgrade”: “Yeah, although early production cars will need camera upgrades, as well as FSD computer (all included in the price).”" Read more: https://electrek.co/2021/10/22/tesla-autopilot-2-owners-need-camera-upgrade-before-full-self-driving-beta/ *AD BREAK* REPORT: RIVIAN VAN NAMES LEAKED "A VIN decoder appears to have revealed the names of Rivian's planned vans.

So 500 equals 500 cubic feet, and so on and so forth. The filing also seems to indicate that Rivian will be offering the vans for fleet duty.

EU leaders were in Brussels on Thursday and Friday for a European Council summit, with soaring energy prices and a rule-of-law dispute with Poland at the top of the agenda. Other topics on the agenda included discussions over migration, with the EU condemning the use of migration as a pressure tool, resurgent EU coronavirus hot spots, and vaccine donations. The summit also saw German Chancellor Angela Merkel attend her 107th — and almost certainly final — meeting of the European Council, with EU leaders giving Merkel a standing ovation at the end of the two-day summit. Yannis Palaiologos, Kathimerini's Brussels correspondent, joins us on The Greek Current to analyze the main takeaways from this summit.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here: In EU leaders' toolbox: Many wrenches, few quick fixesEU condemns use of migration as pressure tool‘You are a monument': EU leaders hail Angela Merkel at ‘final' summitBiden urged to meet with Ecumenical PatriarchPatriarch to meet Biden, Blinken and Pelosi

A ginecologista fala a sexualidade dos adolescentes, pobreza menstrual e o atendimento médico durante a ditadura Com mais de vinte mil partos realizados e passados quarenta anos de formada, a Dra. Albertina Duarte Takiuti há muito tempo deixou uma infância pobre para se tornar uma das ginecologistas mais reconhecidas do país. Quando criança, essa portuguesa filha de um pai pedreiro e uma mãe analfabeta veio com a família ao Brasil com a esperança de abandonar o governo autoritário de António Salazar. A verdade é que aqui ela enfrentou uma nova ditadura, e em seu consultório passou a atender mulheres torturadas pelo regime militar: costurou mamilos arrancados e fez cirurgias sem poder contar sequer com o banco de sangue. A morte e a vida fizeram parte de sua história desde muito cedo: ainda em Portugal, ajudava a tia parteira e corria para atender qualquer pessoa que precisasse de um curativo. Com sete anos prometeu ao irmão mais novo que acabara de levar um coice que iria cuidar dele quando se tornasse médica. Ele não resistiu aos ferimentos e morreu, mas ela seguiu com o combinado. Estudou, ganhou uma bolsa em uma escola particular de São Paulo e provou que a mãe, que pregava "pobre não faz medicina”, estava errada. Mais tarde, como coordenadora do Programa de Saúde da Adolescente da Secretaria da Saúde de São Paulo, foi responsável por reduzir em 55% a gravidez de meninas com idade entre 10 e 19 anos. Além disso, passou a chefiar o Ambulatório de Ginecologia da Adolescência do Hospital das Clínicas, e também atende em consultório particular – seus dias geralmente terminam às duas da madrugada, isso quando não há alguma paciente em trabalho de parto. Nada, no entanto, a faz perder o bom humor, nem mesmo o recente veto do presidente Jair Bolsonaro à distribuição de absorventes a mulheres em situação de vulnerabilidade, projeto que ela sempre defendeu. Em entrevista para o Trip FM, sempre sorridente, Albertina ainda fala sobre pornografia e a sexualidade dos jovens.

Eu queria que você contasse das dificuldades e também das belezas de vir de uma família humilde e de um país como Portugal. Como a senhora fez no início? Dra. Albertina Duarte. Eu sou uma imigrante e tenho muito orgulho de ter sido pobre. Minha mãe não sabia ler e hoje ela tem quatro filhos que escreveram livros. Em Portugal eu já sabia que seria médica. Acompanhava a minha tia que era parteira, não participava, porque era criança, mas carregava a água quente. E gostava muito de fazer curativos. Ela ia junto e eu fazia os curativos. Quando chego ao Brasil, o meu irmão tem um acidente com um cavalo, é operado muito tarde e morre. Enquanto ele esperava socorro eu dizia que seria médica e trataria ele. A minha relação com a vida e a morte sempre foi muito forte. Minha mãe dizia que pobre não fazia medicina, mas eu respondia que era inteligente. Ganhei uma bolsa e fui estudar em um dos colégios mais ricos da minha época. Conforme o ângulo que nós olhamos, o universo feminino melhorou muito: o movimento feminista ganhou espaço. Mas, por outro lado, uma mulher ser forçada a pegar jornal velho para usar como absorvente deixa a impressão que andamos para trás. Você, que todos os dias sente o pulso das mulheres, acha que estamos andando para trás ou para frente? Eu tenho medo de que estejamos andando para trás. Eu tive muito orgulho de ajudar a desenhar a saúde da mulher dentro do SUS, entendendo que a mulher deve ter saúde em todas as fases da vida. Eu venho lutando a muito tempo pela dignidade íntima. Uma mulher não pode sofrer bullying porque está escorrendo sangue pela perna ou porque molhou as suas roupas. Eu vejo dois mundos sempre, pois atendo no consultório e na rede pública. Já tirei pão, papelão e pedaço de cobertor da vagina das mulheres. Um absorvente não custa nada comparado ao que você pode dar de autoestima. Isso além de saber que uma a cada quatro meninas falta na escola porque está menstruada. É um problema de saúde pública. A gente sabe que mesmo as camadas menos favorecidas têm acesso a algum tipo de informação: são mais smartphones do que pessoas hoje no Brasil. Dá para falar ainda que gravidez entre jovens é falta de conhecimento? Eu adoro responder essa pergunta. Nós temos o nascimento de 52 crianças filhas de mães adolescentes por hora.  A cada 21 minutos uma criança de 14 anos é mãe. Nos anos de 1990 nós fizemos uma pesquisa que revelou que 90% dos adolescentes conheciam métodos anticoncepcionais, mas 70% não usavam na primeira relação. Qual foi a discussão: a menina tinha medo de não agradar e o menino medo de falhar. O problema não é informação, é negociação. Uma menina pode ter todas as informações, mas na hora de dizer que ela não terá relação sem preservativo, ela precisa ter autoestima e autoconfiança para gerar o autocuidado. Para o menino, de que adiante saber usar o preservativo se ele tem medo de falhar, de usar o preservativo e não ter o melhor desempenho? Isso em todas as classes sociais. A mulher tem uma questão comum ao gênero que é péssima: o medo de não agradar o parceiro. Olha que dor. Uma menina de 14 anos que se julga feia não vai dizer que não transa sem camisinha. A gente precisa sair desse lugar, não é informação. É habilidade de negociar com o parceiro e colocar limite. As mulheres foram tão reprimidas durante tanto tempo que isso pode ter gerado um movimento pendular. Está acontecendo mesmo isso, esse exagero de liberdade? Começamos a receber muitas meninas perguntando sobre teste de DNA. Isso assustou um pouco. Os adolescentes me contam muita coisa. Uma das situações é a tábua do sexo, no baile funk: as meninas ficam de costas, sem calcinha, e os meninos vão passando. É algo que extrapola para a classe média também – jovens experimentando com vários parceiros em uma noite. Já não é mais só beijar. Eles me contam e ficam me olhando, esperando aprovação. Eu pergunto assim: “Como você se sentiu, foi bom?". A resposta geralmente é negativa. Se os pais e as mães soubessem das coisas que eu escuto... Há dias em que preciso fazer terapia. Com toda a minha idade, tem coisas que eu não acredito que estou ouvindo. A minha fala é: "Todo o afeto, toda a relação sexual precisa colocar para cima, deixar mais forte. Se você precisa pagar pedágio, aceitar migalhas de afeto, aí não vale a pena". Quando eu falo migalha, tem gente que começa a chorar.

The EU and Germany have recently plotted to divide Jerusalem between the Jews and Palestinians. However, the Bible says it will remain under the control of Israel up until the Battle of Armageddon. We'll talk about this and more as we dedicate today's entire show to answering your questions pertaining to Bible prophecy. Do you have a question or comment? Join us by calling 1.877.363.8463. We are going to discuss the two things you're not supposed to talk about: Politics and Religion!

Over the past decade, the Israeli government has been cozying up to Moscow. On Friday, new Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett traveled to Russia for the first time and met with President Vladimir Putin at a resort in Sochi, Russia, to discuss Israel and Russia's “special relationship.” Also, the Netflix series “Squid Game” is a dark comedy about a competition that emerges from Korean culture, but has widespread appeal. We speak to a psychiatrist who explains why the new show resonates so far and wide beyond South Korea. And, since the summer, Belarus strongman Alexander Lukashenko has been sending Syrian and Iraqi migrants across its borders into EU countries such as Lithuania, Latvia and Poland. The Lukashenko regime has also continued to clamp down on political dissent, this week raiding one of the few independent news outlets, Novy Chas.

Descobri o que acontece com aquela gente enfática, que sabe de tudo e sobre tudo, que tem certezas definitivas. É uma doença provocada por uma bactéria chamada Tenhus Certezae Dittudus, que atualmente é disseminada principalmente pelas redes sociais. A doença chama-se egosidade, e caracteriza-se por um ego gordo, que se manifesta em quatro fases: a inicial, a progressiva, a última fase e a mórbida. Na inicial, o indivíduo se acha, mas não tem certeza. Na progressiva, ele se acha e tem quase certeza. Na última fase ele se acha, e tem certeza. E na mórbida, ele nem se acha, só tem certezas. A cura para a egosidade está na compreensão de que ninguém precisa estar certo todo o tempo. Que a sua verdade pessoal não é universal. E ela, a cura, chega através de exercícios, o principal deles o da humildade de dizer: “Eu não sei” e “Eu me enganei”. Egosos mórbidos simplesmente não conseguem dizer essas expressões. Acham que assim estarão admitindo que falharam, que não são tão bons quanto parecem. Quem já se livrou da egosidade sabe que essas duas afirmações são libertadoras. Para o egoso mórbido, “mudar de ideia” passa a impressão de incerteza, falta de liderança, insegurança, falta de confiança e até mesmo fraqueza de caráter. Afinal, gostamos mesmo é de gente segura! Como se o mundo fosse linear, como se houvesse claramente o preto e o branco, o certo e o errado, um ou outro, sem ambiguidade, todo o tempo! Mas não é assim. “Não sei” e “Me enganei” induzem a uma certa vulnerabilidade de pensamento que faz o egoso compreender que não precisa estar sempre certo e não deve se envergonhar por estar errado. Quando isso acontece, o egoso ganha poder, deixa de se preocupar com o que os outros vão pensar dele, experimenta, explora, aprende e cresce. E desegosa. O nome disso é liberdade.

Last week, French president Emmanuel Marcon presented a massive investment plan – “France 2030”. The roadmap sketches out France's digital and green transformation and is meant to set up the country – as well as Europe – for growth and success ahead of the French EU Council presidency. But is this strategy only part of electoral campaigning, as critics say? Or does “France 2030” echo bigger plans which the EU has already set out for the bloc? Host Mark Leonard is in our Paris office talking to office head and ECFR policy fellow Tara Varma: What are Macron's plans for the EU Council presidency in 2022 and beyond? Can France fill the void that Germany leaves post-Merkel while forming a new government, and how? This podcast was recorded on 19 October 2021.

Tony Connelly, Europe Editor, discusses day two of the EU leaders summit in Brussels.

Jahrelang sorgten sich Fachleute wegen zu tiefen Teuerungsraten. Doch nun meldet sich die Teuerung - vor allem weil die Energiepreise explodieren. Wieso und mit welchen Folgen? Wir sprechen mit Konjunkturforscher Jan-Egbert Sturm über berechtigte und unberechtigte Teuerungsängste. Die Immobilienpreise und Aktienkurse steigen seit langem. Neuerdings steigen nun auch Energie- und Rohstoffpreise, es gibt Engpässe bei den Lieferketten und die Transportkosten ziehen an. Die Folgen: In den USA, in der EU steigt das Preisniveau und auch bei uns zeigt der Trend nach oben – und es stellt sich die Frage, ob es sich um ein vorübergehendes Phänomen handelt oder ob nach jahrelanger Null- oder gar Negativ-Teuerung das Schreckgespenst Inflation wieder aufersteht. Darüber sprechen wir im «Tagesgespräch» mit Jan-Egbert Sturm, Wirtschaftsprofessor und Direktor der Konjunkturforschungsstelle der ETH-Zürich.

Artikel zum Podcast: https://bit.ly/3vxWDog Unter anderem wegen der ambitionierten Klimapläne könnten die Energiepreise bald unbezahlbar werden. Ungarn klagt, die Lage drohe „die europäische Mittelschicht umzubringen“.

In Glasgow beginnt Ende Oktober der nächste Klimagipfel. China eskaliert in Taiwan. Polen provoziert die EU. Und die Flüchtlingszahlen steigen wieder. Aber Außenpolitik? Bislang Fehlanzeige bei den Koalitionsgesprächen. Da dreht sich alles nur um Deutschland. Was erwartet die Welt von der Ampel? Wie schaut man in Washington, Moskau oder Peking auf die Koalitionsverhandlungen? Darüber diskutieren wir in "Das Politikteil", dem politischen Podcast von ZEIT und ZEIT ONLINE, diese Woche mit Constanze Stelzenmüller. Sie ist eine der besten Kennerinnen der deutschen Außenpolitik und der transatlantischen Beziehungen und Inhaberin des Fritz-Stern-Chair bei dem renommierten US-Thinktank Brookings in Washington. Stelzenmüller sagt: "Das Interesse daran, was in Deutschland, der Anker-Nation Europas, gerade politisch passiert, ist überall gewaltig." In "Das Politikteil" spricht Constanze Stelzenmüller über die Fehler der Biden-Regierung, erklärt, warum alle Verbündeten von Deutschland mehr strategische Klarheit im Umgang mit China und Moskau erwarten, und sagt: "Das Sondierungspapier spricht eindeutig für künftige Auslandseinsätze." Und sie verrät, wer aus ihrer Sicht als Ministerin oder Minister der Ampel-Koalition für das Auswärtige Amt und das Verteidigungsministerium in Frage kommt. In "Das Politikteil" sprechen wir jede Woche mit einem Gast eine Stunde lang über ein Thema. Abwechselnd moderieren Marc Brost und Ileana Grabitz und Heinrich Wefing und Tina Hildebrandt.

Shares of the office-leasing company WeWork closed up more than 13.49 per cent on Thursday, after the company went public through a special purpose acquisition. We hear from Peter Eavis of The New York Times, who has been following the ups and downs of the company. A dispute between Brussels and Warsaw threatens to overshadow a summit for EU leaders. A Polish court recently found parts of EU law were incompatible with the country's constitution, and there have been calls from some quarters to withhold EU funds from Poland in response. Anna Wojcik is a researcher at the Polish Academy of Sciences and editor of the Rule of Law publication, and discusses the background to the dispute. The company behind a new cryptocurrency called Worldcoin wants to give away its tokens for free. But in exchange, users have to agree to have their eyes' iris scanned. This is, the website says, to "prove that they are indeed human... and that they have not received their free share of Worldcoin already". But there are already privacy concerns, as we hear from Sam Biddle of The Intercept. Shares in the Chinese property conglomerate Evergrande fell by 11.5% when they resumed trading in Hong Kong today. Sherry Fei Ju is a freelance journalist in Beijing, and brings us the latest developments. The Austrian city of Vienna is known for its collection of art galleries and museums.

Sustainably generated hydrogen has great promise as a fuel where electricity alone won't suffice, but the road to its broad adoption remains complicated for investors to navigate. ----- Transcript -----Jessica Alsford Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Jessica Alsford, Global Head of Sustainability Research at Morgan Stanley. Ed Stanley And I'm Ed Stanley, Head of Thematic Research at Morgan Stanley. Jessica Alsford And today on the podcast, we're going to be talking about the investment implications of hydrogen. It's Thursday, October the 21st at 3:00 p.m. in London. Jessica Alsford So Ed, hydrogen has been something we've been looking at for some time, given its potential role in a low carbon economy. So why is it that the debates around green hydrogen seem to have intensified over the last 6 to 12 months? Ed Stanley Great question. Massive, centralized support and road mapping in the form of the European Hydrogen Strategy and the US Infrastructure Bill simultaneously thrust hydrogen to center stage around the world. Ed Stanley But the froth has come and gone to some extent from most of these hydrogen names. And so now it's a really interesting time to be relooking at the space from a stock picking perspective. The number of dedicated hydrogen thematic funds is really beginning to accelerate as well. We've reached 10 hydrogen funds in Europe from only 1 two years ago, and many of the pure play equities that these funds are or will be buying are pretty illiquid, which we expect will lead to further volatility in due course for single name equities. The electrolyzer stocks are up to two thirds of their highs, so the reason why now is that as the market froth subsides, we're beginning to see these thematic alpha opportunities all the way along the supply chain in hydrogen. Jessica Alsford Now, projections by the Hydrogen Council suggest that green hydrogen could enable a global emissions reduction of around 6 gigatons by 2050 - so almost 10% of current global emissions. It also has the potential for unlocking something like 30 million jobs and $2.5T of associated revenues. And yet, despite this huge potential, it does feel that we're still at a very early stage. So why is that? What are some of the challenges around the wider adoption of green hydrogen? Ed Stanley That's right, and I don't think you can fault the ambition. The Hydrogen Council, as you mentioned, is over 200 member companies and they have a clearly defined goal and they're pulling in the same direction. And increasingly, governments are also walking the talk. I guess, though, when you ask our analysts what the greatest hindrances are, if I had to boil them down to two factors, it would be these: first, the lack of standards, and that really means we have dual investment and thus potentially wasted investment going on as each stakeholder has their own vested interests on whether to use PEM or alkaline electrolysis, for example; or whether to retrofit existing pipe networks or to rebuild from scratch. So, a lack of agreement on these dichotomies is a risk of diluting the early stage growth and investment. Ed Stanley And the second is much simpler, actually, it's economics. Costs for renewable energy, predominantly wind and solar, that feed these very power hungry upstream electrolyzers have fallen substantially in cost - over 90% decline in 10 years. But it still requires cost per unit breakthroughs across the rest of the supply chain; from ammonia, for example, or redesigning jet engines to make it viable, particularly for publicly listed companies to make the necessary investments. Ultimately, we should probably expect very generous subsidies for some time if we are to hit that 6 gigatons value, you mentioned. Jessica Alsford So there are challenges, but also clearly opportunities as well. Where do you think the most value can be created and how should investors participate in this market? Ed Stanley Again, our analysts obviously have their own single stock preferences, of course. But if I were to take a step back and look at the supply chain holistically, it's a question of relative risk reward. For example, upstream, some electrolyzer names have over 100% upside in our view, but that has to be taken in the context of an ongoing debate, as I mentioned, into which electrolyzer technology will become the industry standard, and so at risk potentially putting all your eggs in one basket. At the other end of the spectrum, downstream, rail and aviation has potential, but with extremely long time horizons, which risk compounding forecasting errors several decades away. Ed Stanley So in my mind, some of the best plays are midstream - the chemical names, for example, with best-in-class green ammonia platforms. And you can see that in their excellent intellectual property positioning relative to the rest of the supply chain. Other subsectors include the inspection companies, which will benefit to the tune of 0.5% to 1% of all global hydrogen capex being spent on safety testing. And that's irrespective of which technology or country is the first to roll out. And we don't believe some of those fundamentals are being priced in. So given there's a still very high degree of uncertainty as this technology rolls out, our preference is for midstream and particularly technology and country agnostic companies. Ed Stanley On that note, hydrogen is obviously only one of a handful of decarbonization tools. So, what else do you think has promise in the decarbonization outlook? Jessica Alsford Yes, you're right, Ed. And if we are to achieve a net zero scenario by 2050 and achieve the Paris Agreement, then we need to deploy a range of different strategies. Now one of them may be renewables from a power generation perspective. Solar wind is already economically viable, and we expect to see a huge amount of roll out of renewable power capacity over the coming decades. Elsewhere, we need to see electrification of certain types of energy. The great example being on the auto side as you see movement from the combustion engine to electric vehicles. And though again, although adoption rates are still very low, the stimulus has been set. The policy is outlined to really incentivize this drive from the combustion engine to an EV. So, we're very confident it is only a matter of time before you see that greater adoption of EVs globally. Jessica Alsford Then we come on to some of the more innovative technologies. I think CCS - carbon capture and storage - is a great example of this. Just a few years ago, it was really viewed quite negatively as essentially CCS allows you to still use fossil fuels, whether that be in power generation or in industrial processes like steel and cement manufacturing. But I think now there is a greater acceptance that in some situations we're not going to be completely able to remove all fossil fuels, and so by using CCS technology, you can allow coal/gas to be used, but without emissions as a result of that. And so, I do think that CCS is a really interesting technology to also watch alongside hydrogen as an enabler of a low carbon economy. Ed Stanley That's very clear. And I guess the timing is very opportune to speak to you today because COP26 is approaching. And so, I'm keen to find out from you, what do you think we will see from the world leaders or even corporates in terms of decarbonization pledges? And what impact could that have ultimately on the market for hydrogen longer term? Jessica Alsford Absolutely. So COP26 starts on the 31st of October in Glasgow. It has been delayed since last year because of the pandemic. Two things that I'd particularly point to is, first of all, we would expect many world leaders to step up and announce more ambitious carbon reduction targets. Not everyone currently has a 2050 net zero ambition. And we also now need to see that shorter term trajectory about how are we're going to get there at the right pace of decarbonization as well. So, 2030 reduction targets is also something that we'll be looking for at COP. Jessica Alsford The second area I'd point to is then in terms of global carbon markets. So, the EU has been leading the way for a long time in terms of establishing a very broad and effective carbon market through the Emission Trading Scheme. However, in order to really, again accelerate the transition to a low carbon economy, we need to see a broader adoption of higher carbon taxes, higher carbon prices globally. And why is this important for hydrogen? Well, one of the ways I think that you can really incentivize adoption of hydrogen is to make the higher carbon incumbent alternatives more expensive, and you can do that by pricing carbon at a much higher level. Jessica Alsford So I think the combination of more ambitious carbon reduction targets and more acceptance of the need for higher carbon taxes could be two positive catalysts for hydrogen at COP26.
