Guys i know i was going to kinds of us dont know much about going to. A good threats to my wife Children Family. Is not true when people say theres no racism in the league and i think its not true its everywhere at least. To some of course youre always worried that it can happen again that scares you out of the box for. Since the nazis always stink but you have to recognize them even before you can smell them. We all have a responsibility and lots of people on the way you have to take a stand on things like this. No crabs disciplinary cards fans whistle i got it all. Its saturday morning in time for china to take off for the day. For the next few hours this referee will devote his time to for. We see each other before and after but during that time im pursuing a hobby and following my passion for my life. Its not like hes only gone for one and a half hours 1st he has to get there and then the game eventually start and then theyll be a fan he like to talk to and they take a shower have a snack and so by the time he finally gets home at least half a day is gone by. Does not always enough family time because he regularly referees even despite some bad experiences hes had on the sidelines being right up close to her wrestling fans. The higher the score was the worse it got for example id hear whats that blackguard doing there on the sidelines he should be cleaning in the kitchen meanwhile my young son is running around and i hear people calling him offensive racial slurs saying whats that limbo boy doing there hes getting on my nerves so i keep hearing stuff like that which gets me very very wound up and disappoint out so get us guys i think that is totally unacceptable he was called bill and offensive and racist term that he was totally upset and asked me mom whats a bimbo thats for cavalry he hadnt heard before and hed also never been exposed to racist comments. That upset me more than jermaine because since jermaine is dark skinned hes had to confront racism not more but i hadnt. Heard just as has a few left as the mother of a dark skinned child i was confronted with it for the very 1st time will heighten can this be at a guess estimate confronted. Lunatics book possible practice with constantine congo former captain of the Bundesliga Team during a match last season he suffered quite a shocking experience. The same as all of us its important in the 3rd quarter i wanted to take a throw in at the baseline my back was turned to the fans of n. B. C. And when i went to throw the ball i heard a bunch of monkey sounds in my direction. It was clearly meant for me. That i 1st i was furious and disappointed so i really cant put it into words i think i was more angry than anything else in afghanistan while the as a white person you just cant imagine what that slice as i spelled it was just and that was partly just because of my son name not even my skin color or some other reason which medicine is this mans version of us thing and ill follow having done so much until recently Constantine Khan is named as constantine trying to since 2019 when he married his german girlfriend elisa he uses her african surname if you do not know many african surnames went last year in colonial times and her name was very important and i dont think that makes me any less manly by taking her name in english finished in the minute on the. September 2900 and way game at n. B. C. Whistling and constant monkey sounds directed at congress. Anything that is mosquito is scope i would have preferred to respond physically but i think i took the wisest step and i was i then made the referee aware about what was happening and he said to me that at the moment he couldnt do anything he said he would take a note of it after the game. Looking back i would have preferred for the game to be suspended for 5 minutes and that the guy who did that was sent home and it is now the sick. The culprit later received a fine and was suspended from attending games for 3 months but missed out on knocking back what was also really disappointing was the reaction of the other fans and that no one tried to do anything. Against it i think that theyre all to blame and not just that one person even though he was the one who made the monkey noises when they. Come there publicize the incident on his instagram page. We all have a huge responsibility lots of people arent aware that they have to take a stand. Frank for. Annual general meeting of sports club untucked frankfurt january 2020 the club celebrated reaching a new membership record 88000 members. Peter fisher has been the clubs president for the past 20 years longer than anyone else and. The explosive growth in membership makes him proud. Does it bug you can tell that were a cool club because were compassionate if we play good football and we have a cool Sports Department but weve made our values clear and we defend them and stand by them thats attracted a lot of people who say id like to be part of that. Hes a speech artist isnt. Enough studs it makes me proud in fact im proud every single minute and anyone who would like to drive this club into the gosho act fishy well im someone whos going to take them all i just should at least keep. Fisher also refers to the far right party 2 years ago he announced that he didnt want their vote has in his cop. Sorry i mean to do good me my said in an interview that no one can be a member of frankfort. Boats for this party meaning a f. D. A. 50 be it the sort of how would that work but on the one hand you willingly professed to the values of our statutes. And that the same time you profess to the beliefs that the leaders of the a. S. D. Propagate. It isnt i can tell you loud and clear they are incompatible. This is. Im. Sure 199 percent of the vote but was then sued by the f. D. A. And received constant threats. Threats show their own. All files on it and then court cases people wanted to pin on me and on site and of course threats to my wife and Children Family who suffered like lets rebuild the ovens of auschwitz just for me guns in connivance to well and everything you can think of us and then the stupid rhetoric besides all the threats to life and limb leave all because of unbelievable stupidity is now pollution dont buy it. Thank you. Thank you. President if hes different he himself was not deterred by that he was more mad than anything else and never once said i dont feel like doing us any more since he never said that and wouldnt do that on a stool. And from that spicy this hour when it 1st happened i didnt want to take him with me anymore what it already was about enough and i didnt want him to always associate that with being on a football field as a car but i basically said that he should come along and also see the good sides of football. Are we there yet and will be there in 2 or 3 minutes youll be able to play around. Ok. Enough for you like that right. Now to have all the rules youre always concerned that if things dont work out the way the fans and the players want them to that it might happen over and over again. So youre always worried that i give it my best so that they dont have any reason to be mad to get upset like miles i was i was awfully. Expensive starts off im very proud of him that hes got this grandness about him and such a positive person. He can laugh it off and think its a shame that people have to be that way he thinks im not that way and ill show you that things can be different. And then im just a referee and she looked up and. Back in the drinks book luisa congar has traveled from s. And she and constantine have a Long Distance relationship and i know when im alone i dont really have a problem with it a commitment when im with her i noticed the daily rice is a go get this time her husband was directly affected the son of course is its what still. It was a strange situation because i never expected it i dont really expect such things that Something Like that could happen and i also found it strange because it was the 1st time for me that a white person could somehow end up on the receiving end of a racist situation as an advice of president. Envy and i guess this is. Both quickly agreed on how they would react. Still sky think it came from both of us lisa said i should publicize it i also wanted to find it really important to discuss satisfied and it shouldnt be treated as if the problem doesnt exist here in germany if we dont speak out nothing will change and thats the 4th incident made it clear that i absolutely have to do something but if i want a professional basketball player you wouldnt be talking to me now in this interview would never be made public so its all the more important if you have this chance to publicly talk about the issue so that other people can see and think about it to the fullest how could they ever get on thats a monk and. The congress had their message has a large outreach even to those who want to wreck the effective. Pete officious daily routine is always packed with disappointment was especially important to him he was patron of the project week at lessing high school the school in gauges its peoples in the battle against racism and discrimination. While the other. Said coolly so i. Feel good was what you did though. Frankfurts president and mediately accepted the invitation to. Let us know when im ready to present our guest of honor a piece of fish a president of im tough on foot i. Wish he embodies acceptance courage and Solidarity Community is happy to join him in the fight against discrimination its you. Its been before im extremely happy to be here not just because i have a certain reputation but rather because whats important to me is also what you stand for school against ray. Says a school with courage the size this is shows a clear commitment from the older view youre saying yes im committed its im part of this to belong to this actually yeah. Well that certainly stands for something means that you are actively concerned. Thats whats important to me when i say. They should all go off to federal election i was openly furious and defended myself because at the end of the day about 13 to 14 percent of the people voted for none other than not since. Today they all camouflaged a bit wearing ties im not uniforms but they were wholly fitted and smelly suits the nazis always staying with but you have to recognise them even before you can smell them. Such statements often make peter fisher a target of the right wing and especially the f. T. But that doesnt stop him. Facing some. Says every day racism when people make common so give you a strange look and there are people who arent hired because of their last name or their looks these are all prejudices and they shouldnt exist as i often hear why cant you say that any more than we always used to say that i think whats your problem just because something was ok to say before things change and then theres. The basketball pros convinced that the average threshold of peoples inhibitions to get into sign one sport continues to sink. Out of its into going to especially now in connection with germany and the f. T. They simply say things that a plain and clearly racist or sexist or what have. If you add to that suppose on people who think wow thats pretty crazy what that policy said but since a politician said it that means i can too and the antidote for this Alarming Development is to listen and like me and discuss. Business i think you have to teach these topics in school initially for example that germany also committed crimes in colonial times which is something i never learned about. A lot starts with education and you have to explain what racism is what institutional racism is whos affected and what you can do against it i try to educate myself and advise others to do the same its really important stuff into sin is all to do an instinct. To say to fish at once to woman admonish and shake people up. I know nowadays we have a responsibility to be on a goddess to defend ourselves just to keep our eyes open so that your generation pays attention and says not on our watch we dont snitched now just be regardless of whatever happened to your grandparents not on our watch your phone calls when we talk about courage that also means sometimes telling someone to shut up im courage is also saying im not ok with that i still trust and courage is also when you show that you mean business and push back scott always try when i can to also be with him be courageous be bold and protect yourselves against racism and stand up for integration. This was special so i enjoyed it thanks for letting me be here. Other stuff to since we have so many untouched fun for the fans at our school i simply hope that we would get a boost again in this direction and i think thats what happened im sure its hard to understand it but thats only. My. Site has a good eye and i bought him a now because i think an asshole can. Be today the 3 refereeing a youth game this month. All your 1st time being an assistant ok everything will work out with another. Innocent he was and a team year olds theyre still respectful and. On the other hand im sure that everything will work out well today. Hey guys that was quite unnecessary ok this is your last warning i dont want to see that again. Thank you and if you come on im here right in front of you and i do see that is that i thought. What youre doing is kicking kicking from behind got it im giving you another warning and now pull yourself together. Its. You did that very very very well really for your 1st game super alibi guns it was peaceful i tried to avoid carving people because when you do it creates tension i always say that tension creates counter tension but this way it went well but even if it often does my successful in most cases when it comes to uncouth remarks it usually comes from the spectators you get that in the mens local district leagues but when it becomes discriminatory thats when you really have to take a firm stand and. Thats what you may need it but it came to his racist incident the sports quote of the hamburg Football Federation find the host team however the league court overruled the fine because the club pointed out that the guilty person was not a member and that the club stands for tolerance openness and integration as it had so i was supposed to have turned to a steward so that the steward would have had a chance to calm down the fans but they didnt get that chance and so correspondingly they were exonerated. Us that was particularly painful for me the simple fact was that they insulted me but i was left out of the proceedings and that was then the decision. The spot i did check. This was not an isolated case it happened again last december and checking there was a ruckus when a player was red carded site just called i think. He had the sack but yes it was a complete physical so. As long as you know how i do you got for you however as it was this was i thought ok im going to sponsor play i. Thought it was racist that he got a red cannot refuse complaints were considered unfounded but the referee and the steel that was to come. On for you already heard it starting in the 1st toph when they said his mother was being insulted and then at the end you could hear something racist being said and of course thats when things definitely stopped being fun i dont really want to repeat what he said but it was an animal from the jungle to. The player he felt he had been racially insulted threw a ball in the direction of some of the fans. Kind mentioning but nobody did anything to him people told him to stop fouling but no racist terms were used or things like that kind of it didnt happen one was no one here did that all those people who were standing here over the years from now on it would say was it much ado about nothing maybe just another day on a german football pitch. Activist i think spectators making rude remarks is part of the game you know i rarely can hear the exact remarks made during a match it doesnt matter whether its at this game or at other games thats why i think its all within healthy parameters i think healthy paramus his plays it on christmas a bit differently and i looked up the pitch that i can hear as a team we cant continue playing when 2 of our people are insulted but you cant just gloss over it and we will is he rude remarks were made but i didnt hear them and i was standing fairly close by but you cant just have a team stop a game independently. Then well see what this person altman do if something is yelled out in front of 80000 fans they dont just go home. Run. But perhaps under this moment were trying to set an example. They wont be any investigation into the incident future lack of evidence. For a confession is sending the wrong signal if someone is racially abused like that right under the nose of a referee whos in charge of things and then he decides to act saying no you wont do that with us then thats ok this is it leaks and courts have to come up with a totally different kind of solution so that guns i dont form for lose to come. When bandstand held up banners insulting hoffenheim busted my hump and february 2020 it seemed as if the world of football friends for a moment. As a sign of solidarity for hope the t. T. Has just passed the ball around for the last 13 minutes of the match so far no professional team has ever walked off the pitch because of a racist incident much more needs to be done to combat racism in sport its all seen a fall for so many incidents whether it be in the Italian League the German League and now also in basketball there are enough incidents but i think they wont really publicized all taken seriously until now you had you realize that something is wrong and that something has to change or has to be done a solution for whats going on in most of the muslim was not is that theres no such thing as being a little bit pregnant and in the same vein you cant just be a little bit against intolerance if youre not just a little bit against nazis and not just a little bit against racism that its kind of instead youre absolutely against it and what do you stand for and what are you doing about it just to stuff your boss but its gotten basketball there is no process and told them what to do if a racist comment happens in a game with me going to go i think there are no clear rules maybe there has to be a referees meeting clarifying the difference made between insults and racial insults. Its not the same when you swear at someone or make a racist comment. Thats where you have to draw the line and say if Something Like that happens and its heard by the referee or by players then you have to use a new rule that a game has to be stopped momentarily. Cops and leagues are getting involved workshops post is nvidias thats supposed to make people more aware of the problem but could more be done. Does he sell for but i do see leagues getting involved with the German Football Association needs to be there as does the league but just getting a fair play badge or having Jerome Boateng and a white player do a campaign together. Those are very nice ads which are also fairly entertaining and also some house purpose. As a gun spacek but of course thats still not enough its Just Marketing in the end theres a to submit this is for the group thats organised this and make up this time you have to get more experienced people involved to tackle this problem. And to give them the opportunity to put together an anti Racism Programme it will have it done by the German Football Association or whoever but people who know what theyre talking about because what often happens is that someone is hired and writes thats thats racist thats right and were all equal. Like a lot of clubs are also looking for a new generation of referees thats why the clubs tikrit has produced its video clip and to may know him as the face of that. He certainly not throwing in the town despite his experiences with racism. Active against racism and discrimination with hundreds for a better future. Respect shouldnt be normal for referees on the football pitch to get insulted by parents and fans old just human beings. Because i didnt mention. Shuffle dust but i hope that people will be able to shake things up a bit i also hope that my impact will also prompt others to do something to do more and to make things Crystal Clear soon to be out some classes on. The sofa to show that its important everyone tries on their own level within their own circle to strive for change and to step in whenever racism because if and then i think thats just one person would show a bit of courage and speak up and that would already be a big help. Im not laughing at the germans because sometimes i am but most end up in with that. They think into german culture. You dont see ridiculous gram a day on the east coast its all about who they know i might show join me to meet the devil monkeys up. Is for me. Just for. You sir. Beethoven is for. To be told it is for everyone. Beethoven 2020 vision the 50th anniversary here on d w. Like. All of. My gorgeous love was. For the russians so. There. Are so many different walks of life. Some are. Honestly trying but almost come straight from the heart to see it even when there is no more delusion. From. The longing to their final resting place the rush of our country. This is either you news live from berlin trying to flee or told to leave a drama played out at a border post between belo groups and ukraine belorussian protest leader mario kolesnikov up was either trying to leave all resisting deportation will try to find out the truth also coming up. With a coalition solution to only have been carried out what will be approval of law to be approved was that absent from scene a russian dissident tells d. W. The order to poison alexina came straight from the top and other activists say poison is just one tactic the kremlin uses against its enemies. Plus we need the children are they were at risk of developing long term trauma after the huge explosion there last month. Im sumi so much going to its good to have you with us we start with a mystery about what has happened to a leading opposition figure in ballo groups officials there say maria was trying to detain just trying to cross the border into ukraine but a Ukrainian News Agency says she resisted attempts to deport her fellow were seen authorities released these pictures of a car at the border supposedly carrying a snake of a Ukrainian News Agency says she ripped up her passport so that she could not be expelled and ukraines interior minister said on facebook that shed successfully prevented colas nicko by. Forcible expulsion from bellaver. Lets get more on the story now we can go to moscow and speak with political analyst constantine acard had constant saying so as we have we are getting of conflicting narratives so what do we actually know about where she is and what has happened to her i think that its a fair assumption that this is kalashnikov is no in belarus and mr lucas shango Alexander Lukashenko said in an interview with the Russian Media today that basically he approves of her detention. I think that its very possible that shes inside and i think shes also in trouble because the scene youre saying shes likely in trouble shes a major figure in the protest movement and also within the opposition how significant is this. It is because a few days ago mrs clinton ago said that she is ready to see you over rocor the nation leadership of opposition inside while the the they contend in the president ial expect elections sit lot of seats on the east now in lithuania and sensually having been expelled by you can call from their own country so kolesnik of was a potential magnet that with the potential coordinator an organ the size of a bill reeses Opposition Forces and that of course may turning could choose a well known figure she is very active on social media she is one of the faces of this be able russian angelika schenkel peaceful uprising so that definitely she is in the focus of attention of be able to actually read as you said shes a leading figure what reaction do you think that we might see from this protest movement could we see more so huge demonstrations for example this weekend. Well it seems that this movement thats been going on now for nearly and months. Is not subsiding people are angry people do want change people do want Alexander Lukashenko to leave and i think that the bill russian regime sees it as a potential danger because probably they thought things are going to peter out in a couple weeks is so to speak of is definitely very important and i think that she was that the dead there that minsk that the regime in ruins to try to keep her out to ukraine is very very probably become crude but this very problem if you look at what happened to sudan thats the kind of get the idea behind it as far as i understand be to make the protests completely leaderless and to make it face this in terms of public figures and do that without leaders without more than 8 years and this will end i suppose that this is a strategy that mr looks like well see stick to in the forseeable future political analyst constantine accurate with tracking the latest for us there thank you so much. Now the latest protests and the belle of ricin capital minsk over the weekend around 600 people were arrested Police Brutality has been a feature of the crackdown 2 victims have been speaking about their experiences. Yet. Peaceful protesters call on the police to join the riot officers react with the torrent of violence. Scenes that have played out almost nightly embellishes fiery summer of revolt. Is because its coming coup has seen and experienced the washed of it too graphic for us to show. For. It being a collection of what they know is if they saw the bellerose quarter bombs im not blows rained on me from all of them they started to beat me right here. The coat of arms has become a potent symbol of the uprising that has seen thousands summarily our breast and. Hundreds kicked punched and tortured. And. Even threats of rape. Only at the go the policeman turned my head so i could see them and he began with theatrically putting a condom on a bottle. And while doing it he told me that i have about 5 seconds to see my password for my phone. Records go that far but all of whats in the former human Rights Groups say there are at least 500 active complaints of Police Torture among them not of Computer Program of law dimia retained. The optical of the car on the floor i asked to call my lawyer and another policeman suddenly kicked me in the belly with this me i was standing in half bent position so i felt in my belly very well but then i got another 5 kicks you know of which you could have for personal or. Justice for the victims is unlikely throughout these protests belorussians president Alexander Lukashenko has praised state security forces. Moscow has summoned the german ambassador over statements that the German Government has made about the poisoning of russian Opposition Leader alexina vali berliners warrant that it could end its support of the 10000000000 euro nord stream 2 pipeline which is set to double russian gas deliveries to europe if russia fails to investigate and evolve the case on monday in the valley or work from a medically induced coma in a berlin hospital german doctors say there is unequivocal evidence he was poisoned with a soviet era nerve agent the case draws parallels to another russian opposition figure who was poisoned 2 years ago he says the use of nova chuck indicate that involve these poisoning goes all the way to the top. Moscow correspondent yury were shut down for ports. Is fighting fit but 2 years ago the activist was left fighting for his life struck down by a poison the situation was similar to that of alexina volley but unlike me there were no signs of the nerve agent navi chalk. Boards and my poisoning wasnt as bad as his i was able to recover more quickly i was already able to speak in the 2nd week of recovery but navi chalk is an extremely strong point and we were there doesnt make a difference he want to hurt someone or kill them. Chocolates perfectly for committing murder or. For the way its. Like. Was treated the balance Charity Hospital no one could confidently identify the substance that had been given to him his symptoms prompted doctors to suspect poisoning but which novell me says he says there is no doubt supports. The fact that north beach boys use clearly points to the russian president of them. Or one thing. Only secret agents have access to this. Pacific poison. Your Coalition Operation could only have been carried out. But. Other opposition figures have been targeted with less deadly means among them as the independent politician dimitri good called one year ago he was barred from standing in the more school City Council Elections and jailed for 36 days. When he was. Another. An independent local politician and a prominent figure in the mass protests in moscow one year ago she still faces charges for participating in demonstrations. But you live in an authoritarian country in a dictatorship began when he was voted into office with thousands. Of human rights arent part of the equation here freedom and justice dont exist here you can be jailed every time you call for people to join a protest. In the face of intimidation. Refuses to stay silent since his recovery has become politically active again and that despite the fact he has a young daughter. With me. I want my friends my family and my daughter to live in a wonderful country without him and his disgusting system there im sure we can achieve this goal. P. R. Wouldnt let his daughter go out alone at night and every morning hes by her side on the walk to school. Now at some other stories making headlines around the world 2 journalists working for australian media in Mainland China have left the country and returned to sydney Chinese Police to interrogate Michael Smith of the Australian Financial review and build circles from public broadcaster a. B. C. In connection with a case unrelated to their. The journalist took shelter in australian diplomatic compounds while officials negotiated there were turned home. Sudan has called a 3 month state of emergency after record floods left more than 100 people dead and destroyed thousands of homes Authorities Say rising water levels in the nile are also putting the country sister all sites at risk and firefighters are tackling a 2nd blaze on an oil tanker off the sri lankan coast days after the 1st was extinguished the vessel is carrying nearly 2000000. 00 barrels of crude Oil Officials have warned of potentially massive environmental damage if there was a leak with the ship explodes. One month ago a massive explosion rocked the lebanese capital beirut killing more than 100 people and injuring many more the city still reeling from the destruction the effects are particularly hard on children who can develop long term problems if their trauma is not treated soon enough. Met the family of one girl who still suffering from the aftershocks. Yet it is just 4 years old but shes suffering from posttraumatic stress despite her apparent good mood shes easily triggered. Today for example we wanted to go to hospital for her treatment but we couldnt because she was too scared when we drive she sees broken glass everywhere back memories and she gets scared when she sleeps she sometimes wakes up with a start when she hears a noise or something when she sleeps alone she screams we try to calm her down. The trauma of the port explosion is on view across the city an unrelenting reminder of how fast lives can be ripped apart. Child psychologist Kristen Madani is part of a Red Cross Team that tends to the youngest and most fragile to help repair their emotional damage before its too late shes trained in methods to help survivors of wars and torture rebuild their lives. So theyre often worth of this who choke on children has an impact on their daily functioning but. In their life this is one with the intervention that the i. C. R. C. Does at this level is to help contain the whole family so that the parents feel safe and the assured in order for them to be assured the children in bitter. But yet outside lives in a country that already had many problems before the explosion that makes getting back to normal even more complicated. Head. We cant continue to live like this in this country i am very concerned about my daughter because there is neither stability nor security and i would like to take my son or daughter and wife with me and leave the country. But its too early to tell with jada buckley said my downy says theres reason for hope. But we also know that children are better and so with prophet kids and with prophet intervention most of the children hopefully will overcome this this trauma and will not develop. Further symptoms and further Mental Health difficulties. Recovery and overcoming trauma a complex task both for jada and the city she calls home.

A punch in the gut thats what south africa is calling new g. D. P. Figures the economy shrinking 16 percent between the 1st and 2nd quarters as the coronavirus lockdowns dramatically worse than an already difficult Business Environment well talk to our correspondent in capetown. Also on the show the german car industry appeals to berlin for help during a demand slump where with the money go well have the latest. And berlins new International Airports such opened next month following years of delays millions of euros an unplanned spending bill check out the latest house run. Well welcome to the show im stephen because in berlin its good to have you with Us South Africa is calling it the pandemic quarter a 16 percent contraction in the economy in the 2nd in the 2nd quarter of the year thats a whopping minus 51 percent annual rate of growth to be sure every economy has suffered a shocking quarter this year but south africas problems run deeper than just run a virus lockdowns take a look. So that perkins are happy they can finally go back to work do some shopping or have a coffee in a restaurant again since the end of march south africa has undergone one of the strictest lockdowns in the world which calls most Economic Activity to cease now the government has lifted some of the toughest restrictions but business is finding it hard to pick up again almost all sectors suffered during the pandemic but mining and construction declined in the most. The South African economy had already been suffering for some time the decline in g. D. P. From april to june this year is its 4th quarterly contraction in a row on its largest on record. Im melissa say the Global Impact of the pandemic coupled with the recent return of power cuts by ailing state utility eskom would hamper an economic recovery before costs are that it will take south africa a very long time to get back to preplan demick levels. Are right and for more on this im joined by correspondent ellis fun gelder from cape town good to see you minus 51 percent is a pretty big number youre there tell me what does this actually look like what is the economic reality of life there. Well what i see me here in a cape town is a lot of restaurants closing and v. M. These closing Hotels Closing because one of the other sectors that has been hits a lot is strong and the western cape may be where i am the province is relying a lot and tourists and out of me people making a living out of that and although a lot of restrictions have been eased and we are not seeing International Travel is back theyre not allowed to theres not International Flights possible so so thats another sector that is bad hits and while now we see that of course in the Mining Sector its its going back a little bit to business as usual and production is up again i think that is another sector that will be hit for a very long time that which is in major issue for south africa or the lack of air travel there huge of course for tourism like you said what kind of response has the government had so far to the economy and how the lock downs have taken place. There is a massive rescue package from the government 26000000000. 00 u. S. Dollars and that rescue package is meant for business is its also meant for food parcels it was also meant for buying protective equipment for the hospitals and also for emergency Monthly Payments for people that got employed at the big issue there though is that theres been a lot of corruption with that package and youre investigating 100 cases of corruption now and not just employers that were pocketing the money that was meant for the employees but also a lot of the mint corruption and so a lot of people which times due to government governments and Family Friends that got 10. 00 that were increasing prices as so yeah the people are very fed up with that because although it seems like government might be trying on paper and i had to rescue some of the businesses and the people in here from the dire situation is going into our pockets so people are very upset about that all right so a sour mood there in south africa at the moment elephant gelder for us in cape town thank you or lets go to some of the other business stories making global headlines the japanese economy shrank by an annualized rate of 28 percent in the 2nd quarter pushing the country further into its worst recession since the 2nd world war coronavirus restrictions have since been largely lifted but the economic recovery has remained sluggish that according to early data for july and august.

Back to berlin where german carmakers are scheduled to meet the chancellor today to discuss government help and demand has plummeted in recent months to the pandemic and sales are only likely to return slowly berlin is more interested in the future that is the Newest Technology because its investment heavy and disruptive to the labor force and german auto makers are already behind for this auto buyer wants to go electric the demand for us has grown rapidly in germany so its time for a test drive. To states bonus was just the kick that made me want to say im going to do this. But it will take months before he can sit in his own electric car the boom has led to long waiting times german industry switched to late and other countries are ahead. International competitiveness especially from asia and the us. For example im not sleeping and its will be a challenge to keep strong position we have especially if he sees that the german Automotive Industry thrives through the premium sector critics accuse german makers of not having built up skills early enough in areas such as Automotive Software and Sensor Technology the car industry has traditionally been an engine of german Economic Growth but with the boom in electric traction germany risks becoming a blur in the Rearview Mirror thats the dire warning from the German Economic Institute and it says even if german makers put their foot down jobs will be lost because electric motors are far less complex but the trend is clear while new registrations for diesel and gasoline vehicles in august fell by a 5th compared to last year the numbers for electric cars rose by 6 percent. All right staying in germany berlins new airport is not so new it was actually supposed to open 8 years ago before managers revealed significant problems its sense turned into a money pit and a National Embarrassment now theres hope it could actually open weve got to take a look inside. Its 103400 volunteers are happy to finally get inside the new terminal even if the coronavirus demands a bit of separation but the miserable micro cant stop this lot enjoying a day trying out. Port been cooped up because im hooked on aircraft im hooked on traveling so im not going to miss a chance like this. I flown a lot and know the original plans made in 1965 lets see whats left of them and how its all supposed to work. Since july a total of 9000 volunteers have been testing the airports facilities twice a week the bags all have different weights to make the test as realistic as possible and thats where the problems start for some. Dont take that bag where you just put it back if you take one piece of baggage that is a piece of baggage. Thats true. Even the tiniest floors are being looked at now when todays trials are over the extras can volunteer their verdict on it all the opening is planned for the end of october even if the coronavirus could easily scupper it. I was using an extreme slump in passenger numbers down to about 25 percent obviously from an economic point of view thats extremely bad. In terms of going operational having fewer passengers makes some things easier of course but that could all be brought to nothing inside a day or 2. The test include a Traffic Accident and Emergency Services response and the Airport Authority is happy with todays performance even if its still work in progress things are improving all the time and the extras. So far so good except with the bulky baggage the check in lady said go right to both your baggage caroms and there wasnt accepting anything so off to the left through the whole terminal and all in real time check in and Security Control is all rather slow. An airport with extremely long ways to wark will be warning our passengers they will be better off in sneakers than in high heels. Its been a long way and taken many years to get to this point but in only 8 weeks time the 1st to craft should be departing from berlins brand new airport. All right we hope this time it works out over to ireland out country that might be famous for its pubs but is currently the only nation in europe where the majority of bars remain closed thousands of jobs have been lost during the almost 6 month long shutdown gastropods have been allowed to reopen but socalled wet pubs dont serve food or shut. This 19th century pub is famed for its live music it has attracted celebrity visitors from near and far including bono sundra bullock and Clint Eastwood but everything is quiet now no one can visit its a wet pub that doesnt serve food and has to remain shut the owner says the pubs already lost 70 percent of turnover its been extremely tall financially with cash for rainy days that well its going to run dry nokomis the popular circes pub in dublin has been allowed to reopen its kitchen is busy and its implementing safety restrictions so does the owner of this pub understand the governments logic no no no no i dont think. People come in and have a dinner. And a drink is different people going into a weapon and having a drink over the same period of time with a safe social distancing dont it should be able to work for those guys as well irelands government has unveiled a range of grants but pub owners have dismissed them as inadequate a road map for reopening pubs is expected later this month but for some Small Businesses it could be too late.
