Instead of. Pushing. Thanks for joining us fears over a 2nd wave of. Global stock markets tumbling again in new york. The worst since the. Hopes that. The horizon. Markets in asia are down to losing around one percent. For more on those dramatic losses on the Global Stock Markets im joined by our plans will correspondent its called red boots and in frankfurt called red share prices around the world collapsed when the pandemic hit then they bounced back surprising us all but it seems they got a bit ahead of themselves oh yes terry you know when the 1st lock downs happened in march and april many people on the markets quickly became pretty optimistic that a quick recovery of the economy would be possible turns out now with the lock downs lifted we are seeing this is not the case you know here in germany the retailers have been open for a couple of weeks now. And business is very slow people with those social distancing rules are very careful shopping is no fun and of course many people in the country are concerned whether they will keep their jobs or not so they are holding on to their money adding to all this of course the concerns about a potential 2nd wave of infections potentially new lock downs those concerns were fueled by a number of reports this week among them the report that in the United States the number of cases of corona infections that is has increased about 2000000. Just briefly tony looking at the stock market rebound we saw over the past few weeks was it just a bubble. It sure had you know a bubble correct or it sticks and the increase of the dax was 50 percent from the middle of march to the beginning of june thats enormous and a lot of this was fueled by cheap borrowed money you know fast money that makes bubbles quickly that makes the burst to color thank you very much as conrad bosun in frankfurt. Back in march europe replaced china as the epicenter of the pandemic today the number of new infections recorded daily has dropped significantly in most countries across this continent despite a gradual easing of restrictions in recent weeks which. Has its Street Scenes in brussels almost like normal. Belgium has joined the list of countries reopening cafes and restaurants even though it had one of europes highest per capita infection rates. Although the situation in europe is improving globally its worsening. The Johns HopkinsUniversity Website tracking the total number of cases shows how the virus has spread to all corners of the world. Mexico is one of the many latin american countries where new infections are still on the rise many are skeptical about the governments decision to ease the lockdown. Very confused about lifting the lockdown because we dont know if were getting Accurate Information and what i dont understand he meant. India has also looked at restrictions despite warnings that the number of new cases could multiply by 20 in places like the capital delhi. While many fear a 2nd wave of infection others are eager to resume their favorite activities. In vienna that includes live concerts for audiences limited to 100. 00 people even where places have reopened its a new normal with restrictions and governments warn lockdowns could be reimposed if theres a wave of new infections. All European Countries aim to prevent a 2nd wave many parts of the globe havent seen the worst of the break yet. Correspondent sent us these coronavirus updates from around the world the peak of the pandemic in south africa is yet to come the country had a strict. Lockdown in the early stage of the pandemic to prepare the Health Sector but although the lockdown has been relaxed theres still a lot to do let me give you one example if youre going to corona virus test in south africa at the moment you will need up to 2 weeks until you get your results this is why the authorities in the western cape you have to cite it youre only allowed to take a coronavirus test in Public Health facilities if you buffs the age of 55. 00 for have another disease and you have symptoms by the end of the year experts believe they could be up to 1000000. 00 corona virus cases here in south africa and their authority you see on the western cape are considering adding another 800 beds in the Conference Center behind me. In dr over all coming out of the lock down but the corona water situation is worsening for the parts you leave he had been feeding i believe reported by over 9000 cases the Public Health care system is over threshed already the death valley also increasing and while the government says that they are prepared enough to have been multiple reports of people not being able to get tested on time or find a hospital bed on time with the kids with climbing everything will be it looks like the earth is not over yet for india i live around the corner from one of the largest hospitals in london in the u. K. The big Green Building at the end of this right at the height of the crisis it seemed like the sirens never stopped as hundreds and hundreds of patients were brought to an ambulance is now its much quieter and yet the u. K. Has the highest death rate of coronavirus in europe and many people mistrust the governments handling of the crisis so im not the only one who fears that the might be another spike and that the sirens may once more be the dominating sound in my neighborhood. Well staying in britain. Due to the pandemic britain faces its deepest recession in 300 years the economy there shrank by a record 20. 4 percent in april the sharp drop reflects the impact the countrys covered 1000 law bad news as the country heads for breaks it with important deadlines looming. Once again the European Union is waiting for Boris Johnson once again he missed an important deadline and once again the british Prime Minister is taking his time johnsons government has until the end of june to decide when and under what circumstances his country will be the e. U. Britain has registered more than 2000000. 00 unemployed since march the bank of england calls this the worst recession in 3 centuries is Boris Johnson teetering on the brink of a briggs it disaster Stephen Norman c. E. O. Of british car manufacturer vauxhall recently commented. You know. Michel barnier your representative in free trade talks with britain is losing his patience to the agreement should have been reached by the end of the year but now the talks have become so bogged down that a further postponement seems likely Boris Johnson could ask for an extension but time is set to run out on june 30th if he doesnt apply for an extension it will result in a no deal brigs it with customs duties supply bottlenecks and another round of long debates in the british parliament. But for more on this lets talk to early hes executive director of the German British Chamber of industry and commerce and joins me from london thanks for being with us mr hopewell are you confident that there will be a buyable trade deal between the e. U. And britain. Im not overly confident that that will be a viable trade deal thing theres more than 50 percent chance that well end up with a no deals in our view and it will not be in an extension of the implementation period the government has made it quite clear theres a lot of attributes that and every noise as we hear from the the political establishment actually sticking to this 31st of december deadline and the e. U. And the u. K. Will come to an agreement on a free trade deal it doesnt look likely at the moment if there is no trade deal between even the u. K. What could that mean for the british economy especially given the impact of the pandemic its another hit to the economy so due to the pandemic probably the u. K. G. D. P. Will fall by give or take 12 to 15 percent this year and out for them will have to exit on top of that and not signal by the politicians but sometimes they argue we have to reset the economy anyhow so we dont want to reset it tries because of threats at end of code 19 just do it all together but i think it will be an extra hit to the economy unemployment will be even higher that will be a problem or disruption than we already have so i think its an honest unnecessary step to combine these 2 things ok but its still possible that a deal could be struck even if there is a deal whats the long term picture for britain do you think it will still be as attractive for investors and trading partners or will they focus on other countries. It will be less attractive as and investment location i mean its still attractive as the world language its a global that will not go why but its about lost opportunities lost opportunities with the kona crisis etc on top of all that i think will be less attractive place and people will feel it and the u. K. Needs in which investment it needs innovation coming from import and thats mischance for the u. K. Actually to create well so its people what about German Companies that are invested in the u. K. How are they preparing for whats ahead. Yeah i think most of them are preparing for nokias and now you know because thats what is most likely going to happen in their opinion and thats why he shouted monks all explodes and they have to stop with stockpiling again and so on and of course many German Companies just sell to the u. K. So for them its a logistical problem but you also have to comment if actress here b. M. W. Producer and i have the supply chain issues you have the Chemical Industry they have to be registered that the chemicals so these are huge costs coming on top of that they are preparing for that but it will be costly and a bull have an influence on that Investment Decisions mr harper thank you very much for your insights that was only harper from the German British Chamber of industry and commerce my pleasure. Now a brief look at some other stories making headlines a supporter of far right president joy of balsa has tried to destroy a memorial to the 10s of thousands of People Killed by the coronavirus in brazil and erected the crosses on the beach in rio to protest against both handling of the pandemic. Protesters have set fire to Lebanon Central Bank as the as that countrys currency plunged to a new record low demonstrators took to the streets in several cities to voice their anger lebanon is experiencing its worst economic turmoil in decades a crisis made worse sponsor krenov virus found. The top u. S. Military commander has apologized for accompanying President Trump to a Washington Church where he posed with a bible general mark milley said his presence created the perception that the military was involved in domestic politics and he called that a mistake. Donald trump has meanwhile authorized sanctions against International Criminal court stuff investigating possible u. S. War crimes in afghanistan in retaliation for the probe the administration will block assets of Court Employees and put visa restrictions on them and their families and he corruption investigation into the i. C. C. Is also in the works secretary of state might pump a 0 has lashed out at the court we cannot we will not stand by as our people are threatened by a Kangaroo Court and indeed i have a message to many close allies around the world your people could be next especially those from nato countries who fought terrorism in afghanistan right alongside of us correspondent. Is following European Reaction for this and joins us now from brussels so mike pump a. O. Says the i. C. C. Is afghan investigations threaten washington and nato. Threat in this regard is a strong. Because the court is still in its very early stages in the examination into alleged of all crimes in afghanistan and the court is not only probing the American Army but also the taliban the afghan army and other wallets involved in the conflict. In the unlikely case that somebody actually gets accused in a couple of years then the called could find that americans did wrong and then maybe nato would not be able to wage wars in afghanistan and other places around the world like they used to do but this is still very far away and you have to keep in mind that the United States and also russia china and others are not members of the called the United States the United States dont have to cooperate and they dont have to turn over american soldiers or who will be accused at some point maybe by the hague ok so the u. S. Really doesnt like the i. C. C. And seems other nato members share the u. S. Position on this. But the reactions from other Member States a little bit muted because all nato Member States but the usa are actually supporting the call that they signed the convention for this International Criminal court only the u. S. Is abstaining and the Dutch Foreign minister said hes polled by the actions of the United States because this move is unprecedented its blackmailing the called into some action and this is not something you normally do in International Relations but there is no official statement from nato yet and nato might also be concerned because its also about some secret. Detention camps the United States allegedly had in poland romania and other countries in europe ben thank you so much that was deemed obvious bentley get in brussels. To syria now where president Bashar Al Assad has fired his Prime Minister comes amid a deepening currency crisis in the country that has seen demonstrations against the Syrian Government protesters are calling for assad to go blaming him for their economic pain. Of the. Syrians back on the streets calling for the end of Bashar Al Assads regime a rare sight in recent years after a violent crackdown on protests in 2011 triggered civil war so they are a government controlled city in southern syria hadnt seen unrest or in the conflict but this week dozens of people have been demonstrating they blamed the regime for the countrys deteriorating economy and the collapse of its currency. The syrian pound has plunged dramatically since the start of the conflict reaching new lows this week. People across the country are reeling from the crisis. The drop in the syrian pound is killing us we dont have any dollars we earn syrian pounds the syrian pound has fallen and the dollar is getting more expensive its killing us oil is getting expensive what used to be 500 syrian pounds is now 3500 no one can afford to live. On thursday assad removed Prime Minister emerge khamis who had held the post since 2016 see media didnt give a reason for his departure but he has been the focus of criticism over the countrys economic crisis a crisis that could be exacerbated by new u. S. Sanctions set to come into effect later this month they target any country or company that does business with the syrian regime. The aim is to erode assads power but critics fear the sanctions could cause siri. Is battered population to suffer further. As the pandemic the Global Economy the u. N. Warns that millions of children are at risk of being pushed into underage labor in iraq years of war have already forced many families to make hard choices to make ends meet. Putting their kids to work as we report from iraqs kurdistan region. A big load for a little person mohamed how me that has to cart heavy fruits and vegetables around aerials market he earns a few euros a day working from 7 in the morning till 7 in the evening 6 days a week hes 12 years old. Its hard work but im used to it i want to help my family so we can live. Child labor is a part of daily life in kurdistan the latest figures say about 2000 miners work in the capital and be alone and that number is going up schools are closed because of the Coronavirus Crisis many families are desperate so they send their children to work. Mohammad kamaal works full time in the garage also 6 days a week. Hes 13 he stopped going to school 2 years ago his father has a heart condition and he sees it as his duty to help his family through hard times. I dont like working in this area its exhausting. And i do. I have to help my father because hes old and. My brothers and i come here to help support him i didnt want to leave school id like to go back and eventually go to university. But our government doesnt give us any how. Our. Childrens aid organizations say thats no reason to take a child out of school. Child labor is widespread in iraq and all over the middle east its considered necessary for children to work. But thats wrong its illegal to exploit children for profit or other purposes. That may be but the reality here is that children are working the air fortys turn a blind eye and parents simply feel they have no other way to make ends meet. Shes focuses on childrens rights and Child Protection with the ngo world vision thanks for joining us do you have a rough idea how many more children are being forced into work because of the. Yes we do have an idea because what was in has been doing a report and asking 24000 people in 6 Asian Countries about them lives now during the condemning and 83 percent of these people told us that the most talk problem to have is their livelihoods 70 percent said that they have a severe loss or total loss of life he hopes and this is not of my view what makes them take really. Yeah desperate decisions that affect that shoot and 8 percent of these people said they should sending their children to work now and focus and said that theyre sending their children to the bank now so they are desperate and theyre taking desperate to citizens and charlie has rising as a consequence. I understand that child labor before the corona crisis the current virus crisis was decreasing around the world do you think the pandemic is going to reverse that positive trend long term. Yes well vision and others fear that this is the case and that it will rise dramatically if we are not taking action right now we have to. See that the lock downs and the apple circus of the pen demick are having severe consequences for the life of children and their health their nutrition that advocation and security and all this because they are poor so governments need to take into the account the diversity of problems that children face and they have to react accordingly and we have to see that there is no one measure to chant labor but there is one direction and thats to fight poverty will be and how can we reach that governments need to make children give children a leading role in the Pandemic Response and not just a supporting role and we need to step up funding to help the families right now with Food Distribution and Cash Distribution with education measures and with Child Protection measures this crisis is also preventing many children from going to school what can be done to ensure that children including those working are given access to education. Yeah the problem is that the disruption of education is just this appropriately disproportionately. A problem for most Vulnerable Children so we need to our governments need to. Work together to. Reach those most Vulnerable Children and best would be to have a coordinated code 902 creation response coordinated so that all actors governments un n. G. O. S are working together to reach those most Vulnerable Children and concerning education and donors need to step up their funding as well. And. Dont do it from then geo worldvision thank you very much for talking with us. Well here in germany the desire for a 4 Legged Friend has grown during the credit virus pandemic people working at home want company a surge in demand has boosted the business of illegal puppy breeders border restrictions have hampered the black Market Transport from Eastern Europe but so managed to slip through an Animal Welfare workers worried theyll end up back in shelters. Customs officials stopped a romanian event headed for berlin they found 6 puppies inside just 4. 00 to 6. 00 weeks old. And we found these dirty poppies in the transport cages some of whom were very dehydrated. And worms were found in the vomit inside their cages and one was partly covered in excrement its. Got some time but court for. So far the huge demand for poppies has outstripped what the illegal trade can handle thats why dogs like this one have been abused as breeding machines once they can no longer go on or if they get sick they end up in a shelter but during the pandemic german breeders have been completely overwhelmed by the growing demand many people have developed a desire to have a pet hoping the 4 legged creatures will help them get over their isolation and lack of exercise dog owners seem happier lately. Its been good ive had more to do than everyone else ive been taking him out a lot and hes been happy because ive been home more often thank you so much. Never before have there been so few residents and berlins Animal Shelter caregivers can now spend more time with them in peace the shelter is closed and is only reachable by phone. If. We found more new homes this year than we did by this time last year. Lots more people realized they could work from home or their bosses allowed them to know that it may stay that way so people with office jobs have had a rethink and now have more time for a dog. For. But shelter staff concern over the sudden love of animals. Theyre also more internet searches on classified ad portals thats true we urgently hope that they dont end up back in the shelter afterwards and that the huge flood of puppies doesnt end up back there.
