Because the uncertainty continues its time to cross over now to our Financial Market correspondent rhonda bruson who keeps an eye on the Trading Floor in frankfurt for us chrono hows the day unfolding in europe. Well i can show you the uncertainty it looks like this its a very jittery sideways german share index dax today of course everyone here continues to discuss what to expect from the United States very slowly also a few european factors are shifting back into focus for example german factory orders which have increased since september which gives a little bit of hope to our german manufacturer is because you know more new orders more jobs to do in the german factories that means that the manufacturers might be getting through this 4th quarter which is seeing or coming along with a lockdown light here in germany better than during the 1st lockdown in the spring thats the good news from europe but i think theres also not good news from the aviation sector exactly the. Services are hardly hit by the corona pandemic and as a consequence has reported larger than expected loss for the 3rd quarter its a loss of around about 2000000000 euros and lists on average had 4 costs a loss of one and a half 1000000000 tonnes is also warning its burning cash at a higher rate than anticipated which is of course due to the fact that in this 4th quarter.

From dia grey my cat that they were ruling that the stock could pop anything from 30 to 50 percent so that would be a pretty good payday for a lucky investor as to who will be a lot of shares now is that. They would not get any a lot months the i. P. O. Is not going to come behind beijings decision appears to be answered changing Business Model known across china for its Payment System alli pay in recent years and has transformed into a fully fledged financial platform among other services it connects individuals and businesses to lenders in other words it makes money is the middleman banks hold the risk but chinese regulators have grown increasingly sensitive to Bank Exposure to debt as a result in september the central Bank Required fin techs like at to increase their cash buffers that in turn appeared to irritate founder jack ma at a conference last month he said regulators were off base. We cannot manage an airport in the same way as we manage a Railway Station we cannot manage the future with the same old approach of yesterday. But its regulators that appear to have the last say in its filings and had already warned that further regulation could be a challenge its entire valuation is now in flux regulators have far more say over bank finances and lenders are typically valued much lower than tech companies. Meanwhile chinas president xi jinping says plans to become a selfreliant technology paua will not stop the country from opening up to the welt australia would beg to differ that that is its trade disputes with china wessons the Australian Government is looking for answers amid reports that china is preparing to suspend certain exports from the country to the tune of 6000000000. 00 and starting on friday barley wine will come lobsters just 3 australian exports now believed to be facing the threat of a chinese purchase ban.

We go for pure gold roll and uncut shells launched the total keep my gold at home in a safe box under the mattress savings so it was a good in all of the i experience estimate the gold turk so hoarding at home is worth up to 280000000000. 00 euros equal to almost 40 percent of the countrys gross domestic product.

But dining on endangered species can cost you a health. Zoonotic diseases aids ebola and then you corona virus they all jumped from wild animals to us. And ill do it again. Of a 19 broke out at a wild animal market in china there were International Calls for the closure of such markets but experts warn a band could drive the trade underground on its changing its hygiene ill talk to an expert about that in a moment 1st some background. On what ours zoonotic diseases their diseases caused by pathogens carried by nonhuman animals that spread to people 6 out of every 10 Infectious Diseases are believed to be zoo are not. The pathogens can be iriss bacteria parasites or funky. Many of the diseases they cause in people are mild but some are serious and even deadly. The bubonic plague tuberculosis malaria and ebola are sewer not of diseases that have killed countless millions of people. Mosquitoes and bats but also cats and dogs and many other species carry pathogens that can make people sick. But often they dont make the animals that host them sick. Transmission can occur via bite or through eating the flesh of a carrier or contact with its blood or feces. Zoonotic diseases can spread fast and far if the pathogens adapt to be transmitted from person to person then its the case with the Novel Coronavirus. One hypothesis is that penguins were the intermediaries that transported the Novel Coronavirus from its natural host bats to humans when markets were alive wild animals are sold are considered a potential site of transmission of zoonotic disease pathogens some have been closed for that reason. Infectious diseases from animals are a growing problem that probably has to do with humans encroaching on animal habitats forests are cleared for timber or to make space for farms or towns humans and animal species are no longer far apart this offers opportunities for pathogens to make the leap. There are more than 200. 00 known zoonotic diseases but there are countless germs out there to which humans have no immunity are new devastating diseases lurking to prevent them making the jump to humans we need to protect wild animals and their habitats. Colas how to louis is deputy head of the institute of epidemiology at germanys played place enough the institute is also a veterinary epidemiologist just how dangerous odds do an audit diseases. Well stuart if these are sort of. In our human nature already for many many years for many centuries because were going to diseases as i. Have heard the church and humans anything animals and interesting part is that about 60 percent of all human Infectious Diseases they originate from animals they come from minimal and over the last few years with newly emerging diseases its actually 75 things are all there you look at consented thats quite a lot of quite a lot so another has a chance to challenge the at champ between animals and humans and that is not surprising because the early humans get out of the Animal Kingdom so therefore although there has a chance to challenge the virus there cheering and so on they dont distinguish between animals and humans and theres no special barrier between animals and humans so as your noses are we never actually to most of the diseases that she have and a lot of this will noses like we be now think arcs and scott to talk to the homeowner and then dad out of other places where is this which we have already complex and men have to take measures against like a great piece of chicken or was is too soon there was this all i was telling when i was is all those diseases were around there all this that was at the once which which were into matthew years and teach us through it through was fine and she will begin to see him be able they are all originated from animals so what are you saying where are we now sharing a lot more of those diseases with the Animal Kingdom. Yes you although she had a lot of interrupt. And now our reasoning is that we have more to be believed. He says because 1st of all the other war you were the take to the animals its much more you also go into the penetrate to habitats. Before they can detect the animals while they look for whatever so so our work can take possibilities between animals and humans they have match has. Hannity has carol in addition to also have the trade and our travels through all of that of like you can travel if you like will not we dont like to leave the way that it was in one day and all different weaknesses so theyre going to kind of take was well it is much higher and it was an era before so what do we need to do what do we need to do to prevent zoonosis i think the year when you believe there is even more says im going to have to and as you say have to try to prevent them and i think she mesh its really did she know that i messed up so working the whole interval. Biosecurity part its a applies to you really have to. Know that they dont have such direct equipment or close to take i specially is he said if there was had she missed it build them both so why the order to see her problems chile theres a lot more we need to do to be proactive before these diseases jump from animal to human though i mean whats the solution on that front does that mean less factory farming does it mean chopping down list jungles and forests. Well i could mean that all of this is. Just. Less and less for us but it also could mean being whoa what the arabs. Can bring in this instance then become. You know europe city they need help from other ecosystems be other than theyve been migrating in viruses. That might escape or at present just the of manliness and sort of like treating ourselves afterwards like being in training just sort of like what can we do you can keep a 1000 fascistic in a farm town and we can try. It possible to be more sustainable want to go see areas. Where its exciting and so on but surely there are more proactive measures that we can take i mean what do you tell someone who who needs to venture out who needs to eat bushmeat. Basically to survive someone in the democratic republic of congo say in a small village who doesnt see the danger in catching as there were no seats. They might not see the danger of that its still a metaphor for the animals is one possibility death you cant make that nobody else is the one and if they are high cheek missions which they can take just to prevent those we know this is. Animals to humans so in terms of if you can try to raise a baby on this but you can also and then thats what science and politics are trying to look is trying to find out what why or is this. Life in the bush meat and sound and why or is this content vs right to ask like water and so this is also one Health Principle we have the hells animals humans and the environment is sort of looked at politico and i think thats the way to go in your future to see what what is the hells and how do they interact with each other and i see desolate and holes with. Some solutions their phone call as though to louis deputy head of the institute of it give me all a g. And germanys people know things that you thank you. Now its your turn to ask the questions is there. Will other countries do their own challenge trials now that the u. K. Has announced its doing so. Challenge trials involve intentionally infecting organisms with a pathogen to find out how well vaccines or medications work at stopping that application there are thousands track method for determining safety and efficacy and we conduct them all the time usually on animals especially primates but in ethical terms human challenge studies like the one proposed in britain can be pretty charged if the plans are approved starting this january researchers there will be going to liberally infecting Young Healthy volunteers with sars cove to initially to find out how much of the pathogen it takes to make them sick once the scientists have determined that they can begin giving other volunteers vaccines then subsequently challenging their immune system with that preset dose of corona virus to see how effective the vaccines are doing things this way can provide precise data quickly so it can really speed up the Development Process thats because instead of just giving a late stage vaccine candidate to thousands of volunteers and the placebo to thousands of others and then basically waiting to see what happens researchers have a lot more control over the entire process but they dont have control in one key area because we still dont have sure fire therapies to treat someone if an induced covert 19 infection turns severe the possibility that a human challenge trial could cause a volunteer long term damage or even kill them that cant be ruled out despite those risks britain is apparently not the only country. Great to consider conducting human challenge trials im according to the science journal nature at least some exploratory planning has commenced in belgium and the us as well.
