The auto sector is in crisis a study by the Consultancy Group shows the pandemic has cost the industry billions of dollars worldwide the german order giants like fox fox timeline and b. M. W. Have seen revenues collapse 5 to 40 percent thats never happened before the Global Market was waiting before the coronavirus hit and the comic is here scrambling to catch up in the huge shift towards cleena and smart a take its all come up once bosses say they need more help but a virtual cost summit with german chancellor Angela Merkel has left the mentee handed 1. 00 of the topics was how to financially help supply is on the one hand the whole industry is suffering from low demand on the other hand the conversion to alternative fuels is a top priority concrete measures a set to be decided at another meeting in november. Is head of Automotive Research at sanford c. Bernstein what happened to the cox chancellor merkels always being such a staunch supporter of the sector. Well i think most answers in germany have always been sort of. Shes indeed been very supportive or kind of 3 she answered the support for the car industry was a hole in you know the better electric movie in germany a Company Concepts that taxation is super favorable i think i wonder if doing a local the Auto Industry but just not scrapping for you know i dont think it would be healthy if the street little rock well where does it leave the industry. Well the Industry Needs to change it needs to change to new power trains electric vehicles it needs to change it to dish legislation as any industry if you want industry in germany has been slow and part of the reason its been slow was its only protected by the government once really pointed out that theyve been slow is his tesla tesla has left them in the Rearview Mirror the chinese are leading in the mobility have how many more signs do they need to realize that you bet on the old tank for too long well and just to add to the list the valuation of these companies has completely collapsed and you know what industry as you were rated by over 50 percent relative to our industries on the stock market so i think. Thats a ringing the Industry Needs to change there is a lot of change happening right now but its not just enough to launch new f. N. C. Like quickly because the Auto Industry also really needs to restructure its traditional legacy business how are they going to do that how are they going to afford to wing that if theyre losing so much in value and can they catch up i mean the next generation will aspire to buy a tesla not in the savings well it seems thats true if people are still pretty loyal to their Premium Brands in the long run but youre right the Industry Needs help to restructure too many people especially in germany where its just too expensive to make cars so i think thats where the help is needed they need to they need help for people to move into early retirement and we also need how Battery Capacity in your.

Weve got exactly the same importance we still have to cover the same floor area with sound. Basically a concert like any other just with far fewer fans and lower sales sized us for what it means is that everything on stage and all the technology personal we need would normally be enough to cater to find terms for the city told were only allowed 1000 you can easily see that what were doing is not very sensible from a business point of view.

Im suffering from cope at 19 i was just diagnosed in the parts hospital and they refused to treat me in. Birth control and Family Planning services have fallen down the list of Health Care Priorities during the pandemic thats meant to search an unplanned pregnancies and life altering decisions for many young women. Because of it 19 pandemic is creating unexpected side effects around the world in malawi a huge spike in teen pregnancies is being blamed on virus related School Closures human rights organizations say the government isnt doing enough to protect the girls welfare. Reports. A group of mothers of been making regular home visits providing guidance to young girls like 17 year old in.

When i was in school i used to have a lot of problems because my family is poor and i could not have so body lotion clothing or food which my mother failed to 10 for us children and so i was having sex and eventually got pregnant. Hes a saint she did not know but the man his money and his 2 children unfortunately she never used birth control. And came in i was aware of Family Planning methods but my schoolmates deceived me they said using contraceptives would make me unable to have children so when the man proposed to me we had sex and he got me pregnant. Outraged parents sent our wayne hamas age she. And her baby them to begin again this was a big blow to my family my poor entire pregnancy is an added burden that i couldnt handle when coming here when i do im in the district husted up its efforts to reduce teenage pregnancies it fears more teenage girls who get pregnant without proper messaging about Family Planning and the schools are not open source.

Ezine doesnt want to be one of the many young girls in malawi who get married before the age of 20 and she has learnt rb to listen and hopes to bring her dreams but to life. Well lets speak to the need to make in this from the International Federation of obstetricians and gynecologists thanks for joining us what do we know about the impact of 19 is having on unwanted pregnancies. So then i mean this is a very serious situation the prediction is that about Something Like 48000000 women wont have access to contraceptive methods. This could lead to something between 7 and 15000000 unintended pregnancies low why that so you can imagine this will create huge. Health systems. Across the world and an increasing number of unsafe oceans to show this isnt unprecedented there is it to mean youve been researching the effect of the better outbreak in parts of africa or on Family Planning one of you learned from looking at that outbreak that we can apply now this is when we look at what happened in west africa during the every african during the every academic. People start accessing health so this isnt what they considered to be nonessential and so and hundreds of clinic appointments went down for example in guinea by about 0. 02 take a Family Planning methods also went down by about 2 thirds during the epidemic and then similarly and in liberia by how off by 50 percent and i mean sierra leone by about a quarter and so the impact of that in the long run was then very very serious and what about in the case of coronavirus looking beyond africa where there are already problems but what about in higher Income Countries of the lower Income Countries around the world. Yes similarly our expectations over what has been happening what weve been hearing on the great fire really is that women are trying not to access to Health Services that they can i consider not essential and so the uptake of contraceptive methods has gone down the other thing that happened in high Income Countries is that there was for example in the u. K. A shift staffan closing down services and active service as well so this is that we consider nonessential like Sexual Health so Sexual Health clinic placed as a vest off to go work on the kind of it was and g. P. s not seeing people face to face doing 10 minutes in consultations even into really and womens access to contraception and so we will be seeing the fallout of that no doubt 9 months from now and were talking about millions potentially of extra births as a result of this a you know a noticeable increase in the global population. Yes so say yes to i should its between 7 to 15000000 and 10 extra unintended pregnancies both wind and obviously. Different countries different proportions but in in countries with Fragile Health Systems that struggle to cope with the work that they have at the moment that is very serious and it will set his back in terms of the progress that has been made and we look at Sustainable Development goals and the improvements in Health Benefit that have been seen in Womens Health and enjoying the millennial Development Goals whove gone back in time with that so its really really worrying is there anything being done to avoid that or at least to mitigate. Yeah so so can i wish and i work full weve been working very hard weve put together a conception committee put together a statement looking at specific things that could be done to try to mitigate this. One of the ideas for example this is that women will continue to use for example women coming to give birth generally will continue to come to hospital to get beth although thats not true all over the globe asemi in many countries that would continue to happen said that these women should then be able to Access Services that they wouldnt be able to wouldnt want to use names as a contraception day many things that actually we should be printing contraception contraception says this into Maternal Health can save a lady comes to have a baby people told her hair about what contraceptive method she she would want and she gets that method before she leaves hospital and if you use a lot lacking math like the post in trade trying to vice if you call yellow or in plan then youre looking at having contraception for 3 to 5 to even 10 years and so there isnt any to keep coming back to Hospital Clinics so in that sense you know really safe and a golden opportunity to offer this health said is that otherwise theyre finding how to access i suppose its to some extent about making the most of those encounters with these women when they do encounter Health Care Workers need to make ins from the International Federation of obstetricians and gynecologists thanks a lot for joining us thank you. And now its time for one of your questions to ask science correspondent Derek Williams this one comes from a you tube user calling themselves. Presumably watching us from afar. When will not ask to no longer be needed. This largely theoretical question i think is worth thinking about even though theres no end in sight to the pandemic the issue of Wearing Masks has polarized people in some countries at least partly due to the fact that despite a huge amount of study in the field nobody has been able to pin down a concrete number on just how much they actually help and and how could studies reflect the real world anyway i mean were all wearing different kinds of masks off and haphazardly either up biting by or not abiding by a lot of Different National rules there does however now seem to be a general acceptance by the majority in most places that masks help at least some if theyre worn properly and in societies like here in germany where wide scale mask wearing was was unthinkable just 6 months ago theyre now just a part of daily life when you go to the store or when you get on public transport the thing is after working so hard to get people to accept them i think that governments will be slow to say that masks are no longer needed at some point in other words theres no way to tell how long well need to wear them theres theres just predicting what has to happen before governments are willing to relax guidelines and my hunch is that at this point most governments wont be willing to do that until safe and effective vaccine start keeping infection rates under control i personally predict that well still be Wearing Masks in. At least in some settings until that least the middle of 2021 of course thats one of these cases where id be really happy if my prediction proved wrong.
