Australias Largest Airline quantas is cutting 6000. 00 staff to reduce costs as it fights to survive the crown of virus pandemic the airline is grounding 100. 00 planes for at least a year and will keep 15000. 00 workers on leave for months its boss alan joyce says hes hoping to save 10000000000. 00 over 3 years in response to what he says is the biggest crisis the industry has ever faced. This crisis is still hit those very very hard and the impact will be felt for a long time particularly im sorry to say the impact on our people it is very clear that International Travel is likely to be stalled for some considerable time i outed the peak body for the Airline Industry says it will take more than train years for Global Travel to return to 2019 levels and make a leg aids joins us now live from kamber and so nick a call this is a big employer over there how much of a dent is this going to put in the national economy. Well this is a huge blow not just for the Aviation Industry i mean losing 6000 jobs at any time is significant but this is happening when a stray is bleeding jobs it was only last week that it was announced that another 220000 jobs were lost in may and that comes up on on top of the previous month where more than 600000. 00 jobs were lost because of restrictions and closures 2 to the Global Pandemic so it is really is significant for a strain in general of course its happening to airlines all over the world at the moment i want to see you know alan joyce as we just heard has said that he had no other choice but to do this to make sure that the airline did as survive but this announcement has been met with a lot of criticism by union groups here in australia it saying that qantas should have made this decision to sack in 6000. 00 people and stand down many ringback more for at least another year until it had discussions with the government there are jobs that dependence in place right now to try and keep the strains in work during this crisis of course that wasnt going to be going on forever but people are wondering well what is happening at the moment with the strelley as ideation industry and what will happen with those jobs people must also be wondering whats going to happen with the wider industry and whats going to happen with why the Global Economy when you have a company like compost which was already implementing a lot of cost cutting measures before covert 19. 00 making this size of a cart. Oh absolutely this is a crisis that we are seeing across the globe because planes are grounded people havent been able to move around the globe so weve seen similar cuts in in canada or in the United States and of course want to see as he is one of 2 Main Airlines in a stroke here and 3rd in the 2nd largest that was placed into voluntary ministration in carolled and so this really is a concerning time for the Aviation Industry in general and strangely it to work out what is happening next there have been discussions about flights being opened up to new zealand but at the moment it does doesnt seem like International Travel will happen for some time but alan joyce has said that the decisions that are being made now in cutting these jobs will lead to this future stability of the company and that for it to go forward ringback so im guessing the shareholders will be hoping that as well well just have to see what happens in the months and weeks ahead. Thanks so much the kind of gauge there. From bob choose the former head of safety for Quantas Airlines now chairman of our from or an International Aviation consultancy he says all airlines will have to find a way to deal with the new normal. The australian economy has come out of this quiet fight well compared with other countries a strange but very large mistake market and 3rd now in in the hands of the administrators want to sit for a unique position so wall street student bloom at this stage i believe so see a lawyer make the choice for the road a dilemma theyve got to choose whether or not theyre going to go into the next normal why they left the old normal or theyre going to do some fundamentally Different Things and i think thats what policies doing in the uk in australia is for ellen to do that properly the next normal is going to be in carly different from the airline alan joyce c. E. O. Porters of already said the point as youll see in 2021 will not be the point its in 2019 put him on to a court of make dramatic restructuring and change the culture because it so see alliance or edge of enough to see the opportunities that this will bring that will survive and flourish into the future germanys of tansen has clinched a deal to secure a 10000000000 dollars government rescue package the airlines top shareholder agreed to it at the last minute it will mean the government takes a 20 percent stake both hands also secured a deal with the Cabin Crew Union to cut hundreds of millions of dollars in spending within 3 years while avoiding layoffs in bangladesh nearly 13 percent of the population of lost their jobs because of the pandemic tens of thousands have been forced to leave the capital many have simply run out of money and have no other choice but to return to their home villages country a child the reports from dhaka.

The other important decision is to make the wearing off masks meant a tory measure now being implemented in a number of other states including california to mandate in the state of california because it not only protects you it protects others and it sends a message to people that we are not out of this pandemic President Trump continues to appear in public without a mask as do most of his supporters and theres an emerging political aspect to the spread of the virus based on population republican controlled states are recording new cases at twice the rate of those governed by democrats once the epicenter of the pandemic new york state along with its neighbors new jersey and connecticut is clamping down on movement from affected states so we are announcing today a joint travel advisory people coming in from states that have a hard infection rate most quarantine for 14 days louis is a smart thing to do we have taken our people the 3 of us these 3 states through hell and back in the last thing we need to do right now is to subject our folks to 2 another round.

Secretary general made his position to the Security Council extremely clear if implemented and accession constituted of serious violation of International Law or grievously harmed the prospect of a 2 state solution and the gulf the possibilities of a new will of negotiations i call on the israeli government. Its an exception class Palestinian Foreign minister maliki says the israel of Benjamin Netanyahu doesnt believe its bound by International Norms all laws israel thinks as has been experienced so far that it will not be fined or arrested in its millions that Unity Council resolutions are binding for others. International courts have jurisdiction over others sanctions are well others israels ambassador danny de non went back in history to justify an exception everything more that led the people of israel out of egypt with planted over into the land of israel we dont mean the land that yeah that one of. The jews had believed an exodus out sovereignty in their land but the vast majority 14 out of 15 members of the Security Council following more recent history the councils own resolutions when israel took East Jerusalem the west bank and gaza in the 1967 war the Security Council declared in numerous subsequent resolutions that these were occupied territories since then large parts of this Palestinian Land has been taken over by Israeli Settlers but this is the 1st time in 52 years that israel has come close to declaring sovereignty and taking permanent political control it its never been our internet to impose a solution the only country that could stop it is close ally the Us Ambassador kelly craft said little on the issue of annexation but speaking at the same time as her in washington d. C. Her boss the u. S.

The korean war broke out 70 years ago it has never officially ended. The the ceremony took place in georgia one in south korea the region changed hands several times and is the site of several battles after the armistice it was split with the Demilitarized Zone dividing it between 2 countries between the neighbors the event is just one of several marking the occasion on the peninsula. Or given whats going on there speak to Robert Bright hes in seoul the recent tensions rob underscore that ceremonies are not a distant memory and history right now right. Absolutely this is still very much living history if you like this is a long anticipated anniversary of a conflict which as come to define the way the peninsula looks today has been marked in different ways in across the peninsula the main event here in south korea takes place at a air base just outside of seoul this thursday evening when the remains of south korean and also u. S. Soldiers which have recently been exe you returned will be honored and also passed over for formal read burial that their Respective National cemeteries it will be an event that because of the coronavirus numbers will be severely limited also theyll be social distancing in place because of course amongst the audience will be a lot of very vulnerable veterans men who are now well into their eightys and ninetys weve been speaking to some of those south korean veterans in the run up to this day who hold the view with some justification that the modern south korea really owes them a debt of gratitude for the sacrifices they made 70 years ago for allowing the country to become the economically vibrant democracy that it is today and that as years go by maybe some younger people are tending to forget that its also an anniversary thats marked in the north d lots of coverage in the official media there but obviously north korea takes a very different Historical Perspective of what took place 70 years ago and as weve seen from the recent uptick in tensions it is a conflict that continues to cast a very long shadow. Events to remember those killed 70 years ago and the veterans who have died since have a particular poignancy this anniversary. The the war began on the 25th of june 1950 with a surprise attack by troops across the border that separated north and south korea. Around noon people started flooding into town carrying kids on their backs telling us the north had invaded in artillery shells began falling down town in order to you know some of these veterans were still at high school at the time but were quickly recruited into the army as the south real from the attack. They showed us how to shoot a rifle a few times and then send a step or hill to go into battle we spend the next 3 months in the trenches. The war lasted 3 years with millions of chinese troops supporting the north and a multinational un force led by the us supporting the south. To this day theres been no formal end to the war only an armistice in spite of attempts to secure one most recently during improved into korean relations. Peace is a right that we korean citizens deserve to relish making a peaceful Korean Peninsula with no chance of yet another war is a duty bestowed by the people upon the state estimates vary but as many as 3000000 people are thought to have died in the korean war around half of them civilians thats a disproportionately heavy toll that means the wars legacy is still felt just as keenly 7 decades on in both koreas north and south. Surviving veterans in the south complained of insufficient pensions and many feel abandoned by the country they helped save. It was our sweat and sacrifice that led to victory and to the Remarkable Development of our country and do it what. Is more time this past its become a forgotten war the appreciation for those who fought and were injured has faded a lot and with each year there are fewer to remember 1st hand what happened as their generation fades just as this was the 1st conflict of the cold war period that began way back in 1950 and came to dominate in various parts of the globe the whole of the 2nd part of the 20th century so in 2020 whats happening on the peninsula in the divisions and the continued tension continues to be just about the last vestige of that historical period and thats from what pride there from seoul people voting in russia are voting on constitutional changes that could allow president Vladimir Putin sustain power for longer if the proposals are approved between would be able to run for another 2 terms as president his current term ends in 2024 but the changes could see him remain in office until 2036 the referendum has gone ahead despite fears it could cause a rise in 19 cases. Syrians living in the opposition held northwest all switching currencies because the value of their pound is plummeting many of our using the turkish lira as their economy continues to be hit by a number of setbacks so of course all has more from istanbul. Open for business in the last stronghold of Syrian Rebels but its a struggle for bank staff in the Northwestern Province suffered let they are war now through to the 9 year long civil war and the value of the syrian pound has hit rock bottom and adding to their problems if the financial crisis in neighboring lebanon there were an important source of foreign currency but lebanon has its own financial crisis as the government appeal so the International Monetary fund for a bailout in another blow to syrias although they hammered economy new u.

Sanctions have been imposed the scissor act targets anyone willing to president Bashar Al Assad who had losses in opposition held the socalled salvation government which is linked to the high at talk were all sham Fighter Group started paying salaries in turkish lira last month low denomination turkish iraq is in place for commercial trades and money exchange. Some of us out of the collapse of the syrian pound the stabilizes the prices in opposition held areas civilians are suffering inflation is high the turkish lira is more stable and the Exchange Rate is not that hard. Areas under control of the Syrian National army which is backed by the Turkish Military started trading in iraq earlier this year but it is still not a full switch to the turkish currency a place in a let. The steep decline of the syrian pound paralyze trade and commerce in the liberated areas most of the markets shops bakeries stop working we want to limit dealing in the syrian pound in case the regime economy collapses were on the safe side money exchangers say there is huge demand for the. Farmers and if they are among those who suffer the instability of the karen feet and i would be 200. 00 or 300. 00 kilos of grain in the syrian currency and immediately if you keep the syrian pound its hard to value the next day. Here in Democratic Forces backed by the us have already pledged to stick to the National Currency given the tension between turkeys government and the kurdish latter group its not expected to play for fear in pound but turkish lira pouring their own into syrias opposition held areas is being seen by some as no more than seeking a turkish lira zone there but it is another sign of turkeys influence after turkish troops were sent into Northern Syria last year causing International Concern and other concern is the fragility of the turkish lira which has suffered a major loss in value against the u. S. Dollar but for long suffering syrians and under attacks from syrian and russian airstrikes spending the means they are able to maintain some purchasing power. Also a stumble.
