Instead of going to school many kids work long hours to help their families pay the bills. And good to have you with us fears over a 2nd wave of Coronavirus Infections have sent Global Markets tumbling again in new york on thursday. Plunged 7 percent the worst days since the march. Had surged over the last month as easing. Hopes that the Global Economic recovery was on the horizon but now markets are losing. European shares. For closer look at those markets im joined now by our financial correspondent coned bose in frankfurt corette share prices around the world collapsed when the pandemic hit then they surprised us all by bouncing back again but it seems they got a bit ahead of themselves. Oh yes terry of course this morning here in frankfurt it looks like the slump has momentarily at least come to a halt but obviously the optimism expressed by the rising stock prices in recent weeks was over down you know the german share index stacks from the middle of march to the beginning of this month and. Gained around about 50 percent but you know the streak of negative news which have to do with corona has not ended and im not only talking about new infections also in the Economy Today it was reported from the United Kingdom that g. D. P. There contracted 20 percent in april this week liftons our airline. Excuse me our airline announced many more job cuts than anticipated up until now so. Obviously the optimism expressed in the rising. Share prices. Excuse me my voice is leaving me there was over time. Ok well i hope youre healthy there conrad what about that resurgence we saw over the past few weeks on stock markets was that a rational response to trillions in stimulus or was it just a bubble. Well it was of course both trillions were reason for investors to be optimistic but that sure also had bubble like characteristics and one point for this argument is that a lot of those share price. Purchases were fueled by borrowed money by cheap borrowed money and this is fast money you know that is money that makes bubbles on the markets and it makes them burst quickly to color thank you so much w. s color of blues and in. All European Countries aimed to prevent a 2nd wave many parts of the globe havent seen the worst of the pandemic yet correspondence 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 decided 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 case this year and south africa and there are 40 you see on the western cape are considering adding another 800 beds in the Conference Center behind me. In dr overall coming out of the long run but the corona water situation is worsening the paci levy had been feeding i believe reported spike over 9000 cases the Public Health care system is over with crest already the death valley of also increasing and while the government says that theyre prepared enough have been multiple reports of people not being able to get death did on time or find a hospital bed on time with the cases climbing everything the day 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 silence never stopped as hundreds and hundreds of patients were brought in ambulances 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 there might be another spike and that the sirens may once more be the dominating sound in my neighborhood. Rounding up that International LookCoronavirus Crisis while staying in britain the country faces its deepest recession in 300 years due to the pandemic the economy shrank by a record 20. 4 percent in april the sharp drop reflects the impact of the countrys covered 900 look to bad news as the country heads for braggs 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 leave the e. U. Britain has registered more than 2000000 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 the e. U. 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. More on this lets talk to only hope 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 viable 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 law which forbids 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 surge of the pandemic probably the u. K. G. D. P. Will fall by give or take 12 to 15 percent this year and doubtful then well 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 covert 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 more destruction 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 in 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 hub that will not go why but its about lost opportunities huge 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 wealth for its people what about German Companies that are invested in the u. K. How are they preparing for whats ahead. I think most of them are preparing for nokias and now you know because thats what its 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 the comment of fact b. M. W. Producer that have the supply chain issues you have the Chemical Industry they have to reregister the chemicals so these are huge costs coming on top of that they are preparing for that but it will be costly and 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 montanus. Brief look at some of the stories making headlines today activists in the philippine capital manila have staged protests against the proposed anti terror law all they fear could be used to quash to send hundreds turned out to spite mornings by police not to violate coronavirus restrictions the anti terror act would allow authorities to detain suspects for up to 24. 00 days without charge. Protesters have set fire to Lebanons Central Bank as the 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 by the corona virus pandemic. And the top u. S. Military officer has apologized for accompanying President Trump to a Washington Church where he posed with a bible general mark milley said his presence created perception that the military was involved in domestic politics and called it a mistake. Dont trump his meanwhile authorize sanctions against International Criminal court staff 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 an Anti Corruption investigation into the i. C. C. Is also in the works secretary of state might bump aoe 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 fight terrorism in afghanistan right alongside a correspondent. Is following European Reaction for this and joins us now from brussels so my pump a. O. Says the i. C. C. Afghan investigations threaten washington and nato while a. Threats 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 so united the United States dont have to cooperate and they dont have to turn over american soldiers or who will be accused as some at some point maybe by the hague ok so the u. S. Really doesnt like the i. C. C. And same do 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 the w. s bently get in brussels. Youre watching news still to come the pandemic pushes demand for. Shelters were you just hire for companions could prove shortlived. To syrian president Bashar Al Assad has fired his Prime Minister sacking comes amid a deepening currency crisis in the country that has seen demonstrations against the Syrian Government protesters are calling for us not to go blaming him for their economic pain. 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. Like the drop in the syrian pound is killing us we dont have any dollars we earn syrian pounds the syrian pound has fallen in 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 each month thomas 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. Its 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 serious battered population to suffer further. As the pandemic pounds the Global Economy the u. N. Warns that millions of children are being are at risk of being pushed into under age labor in iraq years of war have already forced many families to make hard choices to make ends meet has meant putting their kids to work as we report from iraqs kurdistan region. A big load for a little person mohammad how me that has to cart heavy fruits and vegetables around air bills 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. You know how many come our 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 since 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 i government doesnt give us any help. 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 while the authorities turn a blind eye and parents simply feel they have no other way to make ends meet. But. 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 weve been has been doing a report and asking 24000 people in 6 Asian Countries about them lives now during the demick and 83 percent of these people told us that the most top problem they have is their livelihoods 70 percent said that they have this is the end also total loss of life and this is not of my view what makes them take really. Yeah desperate decisions that affect and shoot and 80 percent of these people said they should sending their children to work now and focus and set that they are sending their children to the bank now so they are desperate and are taking desperate to citizens and charlie has rising as a consequence. I understand that child labor before the corona crisis the Coronavirus 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 act of sorts of the pen demick are having severe consequences for the life of children and their health then 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 with families right now with Food DistributionCash 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 destruction 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 900 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. Dont do it from then geo worldvision thank you very much for talking with us. Here in germany the desire for a 4 Legged Friend has grown during the credit. People working at a company the surge in demand has boosted the business of illegal poppy breeders border restrictions hamper the black Market Transport from Eastern Europe but some manage to slip through and Animal Welfare workers worry theyll end up 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 puppies and 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 poppy says outstrip 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. There are 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. Just how long this newfound love of pets will last might not be known until after the pandemic.
