Because most of. What i do use today has the future. Dot com to go see if. You. Could turn. The covert 19 pandemic has put the spotlight on virologists well right now but their star status has also made them the target of public anger even death threats. And people because of their lack of trust in authority would not want to take. Want to shut the country down anthony found she has gained a huge following but not everyone. Wants to listen dr saltz much of this in. Germany too has spawned its science superstars like. His podcast is one of the most popular in the country. Xander kick ali is a regular guest on german talk shows. With politicians over their bias response at the beginning of the crisis. But as social media memes feed the echo chamber are these new celebrities serving to further polarize scientific debate. Well different views are vital in the world of science asking questions is key at the end of the day people believe what they want to believe but should we trust science or the scientist theyre only human and this crisis has been full of uncertainties still science is not about certainties its about constraining what we dont know some of the best known for religious pts in germany work here at the University Hospital in bonn some refer to it as the straight institute after its Leader Research a hendrick strake hes 43 years old and well known in medical circles thanks to his work in the fight against hiv but now researches across europe know his name due to the corona virus. Pandemic. Here we had a concentration of the plasma from a person who was infected been sars to them and we can show that plasma can inhibit the virus but the patient has developed antibodies which can neutralize the virus. Since drugs hardly work against the virus he is relying on the development of a vaccine when that will happen is unknown. To the optimists there is cause for optimism because were currently doing so many vaccine trials and so Much Research is being put into it said that if things go very well we can have a vaccine in january or later next year. But history has taught us that it sometimes takes years or even decades until a vaccine is found. If or once ones found the mad rush will be on but will it be a case of rich countries getting their hands on it 1st leaving poorer nations to struggle with the virus. When a vaccine is available im sure that it will be available worldwide especially in less developed countries maybe even for free there were at least at a very low cost. In the meantime testing is the danke lab has been using molecular p. C. R. Tests that detect the genetic material from the virus and have results within hours and tests detect specific proteins on the surface of the virus they arent as reliable but theyre faster. You harm are having them chime in and you can get the result within 15 minutes which can be given directly to the patient and a highly infectious person can be isolated and therefore unable to infect others. And Others Movement could see. How people get infected do something researches agree on via microscopic particles spread by breathing socalled aerosol particles at 1st it was unclear whether people could get infected from contaminated surfaces thats coming up on our post youngers to mostly human car example someone could have just sneezed into their hand and then touch the door knob and then other people touch it and bring it straight up to the mucous membranes. Its rare that it could happen. Whether people can have multiple infections has long been debated can those who have recovered from corona virus become really infected or are they protected against getting sick again. So far theyve been over 40000000 infections worldwide but only 5 cases of people whove been infected again with the virus this actually proves theres an immunity does that i mean we need to get artworks from africa are on display in streaks office for decades hes travelled the continent hes worked in hospitals in uganda and south africa. And africa the time i spent in africa showed me the importance of vaccines and how much more there is to research in this area of course and above all in his speciality a china and now though in kovac 192 with a view to the fight against the corona virus in africa. Theres Less Movement is a professor of science communication in linguistics at the Council Institute for technology in germany and its a Community Mosques and services the the opinions are wide ranging the advice has changed dramatically does science have a communication problem i wouldnt say that theres a communication problem its a communication challenge why because science and Society Science and politics are very very distinct social systems science is highly specialized experts communicate in very very specialized ways and their methods and ways of working are highly highly specialized so its intrinsically a challenge to communicate about this and this is what we know every day that you need to connect with the public and there are many ways of being that understood or are making oneself not understand the bar in this communication why is it such a challenge just explain to us what scientific assessment actually is. Well scientific assessment means what sometimes in the public seems like changing opinion all the time which is actually in fact. Highly and especially in corona times where there is fed up. Involvement of ideas so we wouldnt want krone experts uncovered in 1000. 00 experts to tell us the same thing as half a year ago this would be very very old knowledge so its changing. Very high speed and people collect data and assess data and can have different assessments of these data this is the normal thing that and scientists can have disputes and discussions on findings but believe if its strange ing all the time and how can we trust scientists its a good question we need to inform trust blind trust would be Something Like believing everything what people say this is not such a good idea but inform trustworthy that we look at what kind of experts do i have in front of me that i have an expert on lets look at myself science communication so maybe i can trust this person more then someone from another area who is talking about communication and thats the same with bar owners do you for example that you might want to listen to someone whos actually studying this topic and not for example and engineer another criterion for informed trust. Benevolence soul you look at is this person really interested in the well being in the wealthy or off society you are not but youre presuming that people are listening and there are a lot of people who dont seem to be listening to science or the scientists. You know this is a big problem of course because science communication is not that about conveying information its about reaching out to people and people are very much driven by their identities for example and their values so if youre for example very much trusting. Of freedom and the if youre there and thats a free press and and just saying im not wanting anyone to tell me anything about what i should do or if i should put on a mask and its difficult to read up to these people then you have to talk about value why is this all important for you so scientists sometimes also have to talk about freedom and identity and not about the research lets us for them and as a lets move on from the cultural institutes of technology thank you very much. Time to let you ask the questions all you have to do is send them to you on you tube channel a science correspondent Derrick Williams will do the rest. Can you tell us more about mine and how long the fire us remains infectious on surfaces. Oh my its our objects that are contaminated by a sick person that can pass an infectious pathogen along to others are thinking about them in the current pandemic has evolved a lot since the beginning of the year and experts say the w. H. O. And and other Health Authorities now say that phone lines play at most a secondary role in that in the spread of covert 19 and the general consensus is that that surface transmission might be possible but is likely pretty uncommon however a few weeks ago when a new study came out of australia thats drawn attention back to the question of how much danger phone mites might potentially pose so lets take a look at it this study so to show what effects the different temperatures have on viral viability on various surfaces over time and the result that raised eyebrows was that at 20 degrees celsius the researchers detected potentially infectious virus on some materials for up to 28 days wow thats a long time for a surface to remain potentially infectious right but the thing is those experiments were carried out under very virus friendly conditions for example the viral latent test droplets that the researchers used were a standardized solution they were mucous which is thought to be a much more hostile environment for pathogens and and samples were also kept in the dark the whole time because u. V. Light quickly deactivate source code to in other words the interesting result. Dont reflect what happens in the real world which is why experts havent changed recommendations and most for main convinced that the role that surfaces play in covert 19 transmission is small. Thanks for joining us for another covert special ill see you tomorrow. Biden says trying to. Be the next u. S. President. The German Economy is issue closely. Theres a strange. One exactly. Made in germany. Next d. W. To the point strong opinions clear positions International Perspectives. Cortinas priority along seem to be restoring russia as a Global Player but despite mounting tensions in the neighborhood hes showing surprising inertia as he lost his touch russias explosive frontiers are topic on to the point. To the point of. Being 60 minutes on t w. Why did this person sees her. There are many answers. There on. The bed there is a lot that can be. To. Make up your mind. To me. Trump or biden whoever wins the us president ial election the rest of the world will be watching its safe to say that 4 years of donald trump has us president has left their mark on the worlds biggest economy and its relationship with its trading partners around the globe including europe. Welcome to made the us election a vote for free trade well thats our topic today do you remember what the world felt like 4 years ago in autumn 2016 europe had just started to come to terms with britains brics referendum yes thats 4 years ago and the bookmark makers they got it all wrong back then and they also got it wrong with predicting the outcome of the us election Hillary Clinton did not become the president of the United States well i dont know if the polls are right this year but i do know that for the Global Economy right now a lot is at stake. The u. S. Election is just days away the outcome will Impact Global trade. The question is how a quarter of all jobs in germany depend on export industries. Cannot. Overstate the importance of the transatlantic relationship its really without alternative. Zana balkan install being the varia makes Material Handlers and cranes annual sales were 420000000 euro news in 2018. Doesnt it all this is a telescopic crawl a crane we sell cranes like this to the United States north america is now our 2nd largest market off to Germany Europe and eastern europe. The Company Relies on its sales to the u. S. But says c. E. O. At a center the u. S. Also relies on his companys products. For example cranes to load exports and unload imports. Oh weve been and continue to be an essential business in america products once operational entire factories could grind to a halt. Gemini in the us have long been important trading partners but tensions have been rising in recent years rivals airbus and boeing accuse each other receiving a legal state subsidy that has been mounting criticism of german car exposed to the u. S. E. U. Countries one Big Tech Companies to pay more tax and most digital giants are american. Principles to laurie heads the German Division of u. P. S. He also heads the American Chamber of commerce in germany in that role he seeks to stick to their political fights and smee that he ruffled feathers. You know if you get outside of washington d. C. And you go out where you know most people live and work. Business in the u. S. In business in germany in europe or very interested in each others markets our job is to ignore politics as much as we can when our political. Our job is to find ways for our members to successfully pursue their Business Activities and hopefully expand grow them create jobs and encourage trade here in the union is also true trade but the competition commissioner says there is a plain meaning to regulate the u. S. Digital giants a proper european approach would be to say youre more than welcome to be successful but the saying is with success comes responsibility and this is the face that were announced say well you have to recognize that you have powers beyond anyone else and with that comes the responsibility tariffs the one way to exert pressure by making him pull is more expensive the us that tariffs on steel wine and jam. The e. U. On corn cranes and jeans. Tariffs and our view are just not helpful and they dont really achieve what you want them to achieve there is one thing that they always achieve and that is higher prices for the consumer so the damage is done to ones own country in that sense what disposal are you think of the positions on trade of the 2 candidates for the u. S. Presidency. Between President Trump and candidate biden. Its a little hard to tell i mean both of them have made statements that we find very. Wrong quite frankly. Neither has come out with a Firm Commitment to. The importance of the transatlantic relationship and the value of trade and so i think we need to get away a little bit from the emotions that are packed into the word globalization and really recognize how many jobs are created how many families are supported how much tax revenues generated and then i think anyone really looking at this calmly would say ok lets get out and do everything we can for this relationship the trade war between the u. S. And china is also having an impact on europe its caused shifts in Currency Exchange rates and made european exports more expensive in asia so charmed pub itan does the german entrepreneur actually sent a bulletin have a preference. Prompted by. Whether its trump or biden own government we have to deal with politicians of all stripes. Home and all the economy creates its own laws. Its the economy that makes the world. Of the us that is. Despite all the tariffs and arguments the United States and europe still do billions in bilateral trade every year. After 4 years in Office Everyone in the world has his or her own view off donald trump some think hes doing great they like to style of us war hes dangerous and point to several cases of misconduct perhaps even criminal misconduct or miss much debate ties to the kremlin to substantial funding from germanys biggest bank did all the us caught up with u. S. Journalist david who believes that vast loans from Deutsche Bank and able to trump to appeal rich and successful which ultimately helped him win the presidency. Donald trump and daughter bank. Relationship. And one that financial journalist david enrich has described in detail in his recent book dark tower. The bank has lent him over 2000000000. 00 over the past 20 years money and rich says not allowed donald trump to maintain his image as a successful real estate tycoon an image that paved his way to the white house. The 5 right into it how much money does Donald Trump Bank as far as we know he currently has Deutsche Bank about 300000000. 00 and then on top of that 300000000. 00 you have the cushion or family which is obviously the extended family of the trumps now thanks to the marriage of gerrard and ivanka and theyve borrowed hundreds of millions of dollars more from Deutsche Bank so all told there are certainly more than half a 1000000000. 00 in outstanding debt from the questioners and the trumps to do it back you write in your book that without. Bank donald trump would never have become president how important was the money that Deutsche Bank lent him for him becoming president i think it was indispensable from his entire basis for running for president and then being elected president in 2016 was a he was a very successful businessman and the more evidence that becomes public and the journalists gather the more we see that that really was a mirage he was not a successful businessman he was a money was an businessman and he had a very well established track record of defaulting on loans having his business is declared bankruptcy and violating contract what would it mean if the president of the United States defaulted on half a 1000000000. 00 of loans he personally guaranteed the overwhelming majority of those loans and so that means that the bank has a right to go for what money is in his bank account he has millions of dollars in various Bank Accounts in cash and in stocks and bonds the bank can go after that they could go after trump tower they could go after mara lago this is go after his plane and would they do that to the president of the United States take away basically all his belonging i dont know what they might do what i can tell you definitively is that since the morning of november 9th 2016 when donald trump had been elected the next president of the United States do it your Bank Executives in frankfurt in london and new york have been freaking out about this this scenario in trying to figure out whether theres a way to amend it the wording of the contract so that trump is no longer personally guaranteeing them and its been very clear to them for almost 4 years now that they have a very serious problem on their hands there are those who say that maybe lending money to dont try wasnt such a big risk for the chip bank after all because those loans might have been guaranteed by russian individuals or entities is there any evidence that you found that would prove that i have not found any evidence. That russia or russian banks or russian individuals in any way provided a guarantee or any financial backing to trump through Deutsche Bank my hunch is that this is a Conspiracy Theory what is too though and you write that in your book is that darts a bank has helped the cushion a family with funneling their money through russia or to russia so what exactly happened there there was money moving out of cushion or accounts being wired to russian individuals why would the cushion company send money to russian individuals do you think that had anything to do with the russian meddling in the 2016 election is that a pay off i dont know i doubt it but i dont know its a mystery if we were ever to really get a clear on varnished view of what had actually been going on inside or to banks and going on inside Donald Trumps account at Deutsche Bank and there would be still quite a few surprises in there. Now it would also come as a surprise ill be a welcome one if u. S. Policymakers could finally agree on a much needed fiscal stimulus plan to help the battered u. S. Economy deal with the fallout from the coronavirus pandemic unemployment reached record highs over the summer now for many this is not of the fust economic challenge some i 10 around for example have long swapped a permanent address to live in mobile homes and travel from job to job our reporter out of us went to kentucky to find out more. The recreational vehicle the r. V. The symbol of freedom. Homeless wherever you take it and were overwork may take you. I mean or think and talk you know which is not exactly known as a Tourist Destination but home to were home is a long line retailer amazon and that attracts an increasing number of employees who come to find work but choose to live in their camper vans all year round. A campground near the amazon warehouses home to around a dozen were campers. Its 2 pm time to get up for Robert Barker he works the night shift good morning. Good morning good morning robert how you do and good how was your shift it was great ok yeah easy money man you know basically robert you have your whole life inside that yeah ive been living in my van for 6 years now. Working Seasonal Work for amazon and ive done some also ive worked a job in alaska salmon cannery work to be hard. But i am as on has been really good to me and its really easy money and allows me the freedom to do what i want to. Like many were campers Robert Barker lives a modest life with few frills his kitchen an outdoor microwave and a picnic table. Time to go in time here i mean its. Not even clear iraq. Robards lifestyle saves him 2000. 00 a month he says money he uses later to travel robert is 46. 00 he has no partner no children and there are a few expenses. Amazon paces campsite his Health Insurance and 15. 00 an hour when he works managing customer returns its a temporary contract for a couple of months. The key to doing it right is you cant have a 400. 00 car payment or or and you know. Debt. And debt free. And. I have like 30. 00 in bills im on and thats how are they able to do it. 5 30 in the evening for robert its time to go to work. Amazon refuses to give me permission to film but the online trader is actively seeking work campers in 26 campgrounds across the u. S. More Financial Security but you have to hit the road to get it perhaps not everyones dream but it seems to work for some. In a lot of criticism about amazon and concern about the growing online trade industry with meaningful work environments in the United States but one thing seems to be clear that all the work campers in kentucky apply and helping with the lifestyle they chose. From happy campus in the u. S. To aid. Political power game between the u. S. Russia and germany over a gas pipeline relations between the sas and support in north east germany were excellent until 3 republican senators threatened it with crushing legal and economic sanctions if it continues to provide services to north stream 2 now the contentious pipeline which is to transport gas from russia to germany has long angered to donald trump who druther sell us gas to europe. This is a small harbor town on the Baltic Island of ruben. A lot of tourists pass through but otherwise theres not much going on here. What have we done to make u. S. Senators think that they have to threaten us in this way. On. It was quite a surprise when sasnett suddenly became the focus of an International Political fight the latest iteration of a longstanding conflict the mash owes us a letter to the company that manages the potence us net which is majority owned by the municipality it was written by 3 republican u. S. Senators in august threatening crushing legal and economic sanctions. Bust the letter is a threat. With a state that they dont want nord stream to to be completed by food thats the main point or. The thread is directed at our port because we have a plant there that used to case the pipes for nordstrom chip and because ships dock and a provision there. And they say we should stop doing that. For all schools to watch and i find this utterly shameless because for the on for 4 on the right the fight is about the north stream to pipeline to deliver natural gas from russia to germany the segments of piping piled up at the port were meant for the final stretch to the german baltic coast work stopped last year after the contractor for the high plane ships suspended operations under threat of u. S. Sanctions. In 2005 the then chancellor Gerhard Schroeder and russian president Vladimir Putin signed the deal to build a system of the. Natural Gas Pipelines across the baltic the original north stream went into operation in 2011. It starts in the russian port city of and ends in look mean a crisis found in germany. Strain to has also been laid except for the last 160 kilometers to germany. Washington is dead set against it claiming it will make europe too dependent on russian gas and exposed to leverage 5 lot of matthew 10. Of Europe Germany should not put up with this having 3rd parties tell us what we may do and what we may not to what our Energy Policy should look like and what projects we may work on here in sas in the outside. Its nothing new that germany is getting its gas from russia the 1st shipments of natural gas from the then soviet union reached west germany in 1973 during the oil crisis that also angered the us but west germany continued to buy more and more counts from the communist soviet union and unify germany went on to do the same with russia also i wonder putins leadership even when the 2 countries had serious disagreements at the political level. Sanctions are a means to apply economic pain in order for a government to get its way. By providing Goods Services and support for north stream to the port of sasnett has created jobs and peace to the economy of the region. Local firms are now very nervous so. The tide lifts and for all the Companies Involved in the project will be under threat from these extra territorial sanctions side of. Going to face major problems of Economic Policy and economic measures are deployed to pursue geopolitical interests and Small Companies are exposed to threats. Here on the coast we deal with a lot of ships from all over the world we want to pursue International Trade among us. And do business with each and every country of. Free trade policies of huge importance for coastal economies like. This. 350. 00 companies could be hit by the u. S. Sanctions from small engineering outfits to large ship chandlers. Thats why you need trade deals all over the world whats going on here is astounding were suddenly might is right and that scares us here in this corner of germany the people we talked to him just want to be left in peace. We want to not comment there were 10 here before you i dont feel like. Even beyond the north stream to project officials herons are concerned that the Ports International reputation could be in jeopardy. And in another example for us trade relations goods made it hong kong for export to the United States will need to be labeled as made in china after november the 9th a financial hoppers again at the forefront of the escalating conflict between 2 superpowers what does that mean to local manufacturers will struggle to preserve their own identities. Kong reports from hong kong. It takes a 1000 steps to assemble hundreds of tiny components thats how a filigree. Is made william shome founded his own brand a decade ago hong kong is the birthplace of these high end time pieces this is where theyre designed and assembled because we want to show our all. The label had a bad inside the back of the watch but the clock is ticking in november the made in hong kong label will be replaced by made in china the u. S. Has revoked Hong Kong Special trading status. Because soon for this for us just because of the work and all that we try whereas for the Raw Materials inside the show the specific where you have bread and also for the back of the for policy changes that i do to double or triple the whole cost i also always offer a lot higher hung kone as a w t o member as a separate customs territory then you labeling policy came in with the intensifying u. S. China conflict its one of a series of american countermeasures against the political upheaval in the Financial Hub as the citys 2nd largest trading partner the us is ending the decades long preferential treatment for hong kong because of its eroding autonomy following chinas imposition of the sweeping National Security law veteran manufacturer simon wang sells instant milk to the u. S. His products a popular among the nostalgic communities who missed the taste of hong kong signature beverage. You know. Famous for 4 years of branding for the quarter and the confidence to. Give those. Competitive nerves. Over aga countries but much like hong kong. Its now a bittersweet business the latest policy is another reason for simon and many others to decouple from the u. S. Markets. Being caught in the hurricane would be getting worse and worse what i say is. Exploring our markets to other countries we are also souls in products from europe from other countries from the states. And we dont want to. Have to redesign. We may have to. Work on our own. Strategy so as to strain for our brand as a whole product. Nonstudent hong kong shipment to the us total 39000000000. 00 u. S. Dollars but almost 80 percent was really exports from Mainland China thats why the new labeling rule will also hit China Hong Kong also richies have vowed to refer the issue to the w t o. Business people fear this could be the 1st step for the us or even its allies to abolish hong kongs benefits that the rest of china hasnt enjoyed and so undermine its distinctive competitiveness william shome sells his tobie on watches to 15 countries the us market used to be a main target of his lucrative business but now he plans to relocate his investment and shut down his new york office by the end of this year as a whole cabret we have very specific characters that hong kong has to merge where the asset is of the cultural ah the historic well you have loved to recall the love it because theres a thing theres also an opportunity so we should seek for fertility rather than scale the danger. Changing the tag of origin could mean losing a quality trained monkey. And possibly bring a higher tariff. But for the manufacturers on the ground its not only about money but also about hong kongs unique but fading identity the fact it matters who sits in the white house for the United States and the rest of the world and thats why we will all watch next weeks president ial election with bated breath while hoping for the best thats all for this edition of made for me in the team thanks for watching.
