And as equal pay day comes around again we look at how stony a is trying to end the gender pay gap by training. Young girls in i. T. This is your Business Report im stephen beards in berlin its good to have you with us the Airline Industry could collapse without significant help from the worlds governments and thats the dire message from the International Air transport association its a body that represents the vast majority of global air traffic and it says that companies will need between 150. 00 and 200000000000. 00 to weather the pandemic and the carriers are short of cash to provide even refunds especially hard hit airlines relying on the lucrative transatlantic route last week u. S. President donald trump banned most incoming flights from europe for 30 days and german chancellor Angela Merkel now says nani you residents will not be allowed to enter the block for the same period and its not just weakening demand its hurting the industry play makers are cutting production as a result of supply Chain Disruption and employee absences in the u. S. Boeing has already asked the white house for assistance and here in europe air bus has halted production in france and spain. Now helping airlines as part of an 850000000000. 00 stimulus proposal from the Trump Administration it would also send a 1000. 00 check to every american among other measures the package would include 50000000000 dollars for the american Airline Industry a cut in payroll taxes and further loans and guarantees for Small Businesses and the plans come as governments around the world scramble to send direct aid to citizens affected by the pen demick would still need to be passed by congress. And for more on this lets go to our financial correspondent in new york jose luis de haro jose a check to every american whats the idea here. I would say that it could be a necessary step to steven if we keep in mind that here in the u. S. There are more than 50000000 people 15000000 people that are freelancers part time workers or contract over most of these people dont get paid if they dont go to work on top of that in some cases like here in new york a lot of people leave by check i mean if they dont get some income by the end of this month they will not be able to pay the rent or the telephone bill or even buy food. Not only these situation already it also creates a feeling that when the Real Recovery happens the consumer want to spend immediately after work for an economy where 2 thirds of the g. D. P. Depends on consumption is the key to keep that confidence alive to avoid a lengthy teammate recovery. Jose when we look at this proposed plan which we should acknowledge has to go to congress and has to be passed its still not a law yet when we look at it and compare it to the stimulus measures passed during the recession 2806 impair. Well for starters stephen if older numbers come to fruition it will be bigger down there one triggered by the financial crisis that we are talking now about around a trillion dollars according to the latest numbers also these time that there is a much more emphasis it seems on both Small Businesses and people and not just bailing out companies and specifically banks and for now there will be loans and tax payment deferrals for companies and individuals loans for business paid leave or clearly if we crucial to the situation there will be also bail and so for specific industries such as as you pointed out but also hotels so we could say that the stimulus will try to keep comprehensive focus humors on a Small Business is alive as much as it can so so when the recovery happens it will be Strong Enough those it looks like wall street is reading this proposal what are you seeing there. Basically we saw optimistically react if we have learned something over the past days and weeks stephen is that here a confidence can change any minute so well see what happens tomorrow all right will they lose the heart of keeping an eye on the numbers on wall street for us thank you for sadies benz Parent Company dime laura says its suspending the majority of its european production in response to the coronavirus pandemic and the shutdown affecting car van and commercial vehicle plants will be for an initial 2 week period which could then be extended the dollar says it wants to interrupt its effect infection chains to contain the spread of the virus in its ranks.
