On chris colfer. Welcome to the program with more than 9000000 corona virus infections and in particular, a worrying surge in the capital. New delhi, india has the worlds 2nd highest number of covert 900 cases after the united states. In march, the government had imposed strict lockdowns after lifting them in most areas. But the economic damage has been immense after a 3 percent growth in the 1st quarter of the g. D. P. In the 2nd quarter of 2020 shrank by nearly 24 percent compared with the same period last year. The dollar trend slowed in the 3rd quarter to 8 point 6 percent contraction according to initial estimates by the reserve bank of india. Official figures are expected later today. Now lets get more on this from the w. Correspondents robbie tendon. She joins me via skype from oira, in the indian state of go, well come serai. Overall, the Indian Economy continues to shrink. After an unprecedented contraction of almost 24 percent, we just saw there in the 2nd quarter. What does that mean for peoples everyday lives . So in everyday life on the street, i would say that the fence is very obvious now for instance where i havent gone to the do list of the time sheets are many restaurants and hotels continue to be shut even though of tourism season is on and the government has been encouraging the industry to very often now another stimulus to settle differences that it might include realize that the song before and during the beginning of the traces at that time read reported that almost 6700000. 00 Migrant Workers have lost their jobs and recent reports. Now suggest that at least 50 percent of them have only back into cities and jobs, which means that the will of course, is much smaller, which therefore affects things like businesses, reopening, construction sites, being back on and so on, still fall. And finally, i dont see that the economic problems have also not been gender neutral. It has affected women disproportionately. So a lot of women have not been able to find jobs. A lot of businesses led by ramin have not been able to restart and especially women working in the informal sector. Im not even owning the wages that they were at treacle. Good luck. So there is no recovery yet. We see a slowdown of the downturn. What are the risks of economic improvement . Saw the human economy is now in a technical recession, which means that it has to do consecutive quarters. In fact, no other media economy has been affected as badly by corporate 19 as india javelins that there has been some economic recovery in this quarter. But thats only because the lock down was used out. And also it is the best of seasons and basking in a bit of economic activity. Its given sunbed astutely comic activity, but those are temporary measures. Now what is happening is that we have the rise in inspection. Certain steves are going back to lock downs and distinctions which could affect the supply chains, which means that once again, domestic activity will be affected and song will indias ability to achieve in the world. So for me, the question really is, even if we are talking about economic rebound and there has been some, how long will god really instilled a picture as you leave . The i. M. F. Actually predicts that it will get india at least 3 years to gun battle creek over 19. So to come that people 19 levels of economic growth. And thats not even accounting for inflation, thats going to be the lead. They said is really quite bleak, doubly correspondent, time in reporting as robert. Thank you. Astra zeneca is planning an additional global trial of its covert 916. 00. Thats after scientists have raised doubts about initial results, showing the shot to be 90 percent effective in a test for participants by air or received a half dose followed by a full dose. And the explicit problems with the 1st trial could hinder us as an, interest. Chances of getting speedy, u. S. And e. U. Regulatory approval for the covert. 19 drug company says a new trial would focus on evaluating a lower dosage. Our financial correspondent, Ashutosh Pandey in frankfurt, has more on the story asked us, what is the company trying to achieve here . Well, the idea is to shore and dont phone that. The 90 percent, if you can see it, it was no fluke. The members just 3000 people were administered, the mistaken do thing that they have to the thing and this 90 percent effective it. Whereas 9000, people were given the double and they were, they picked, ignace was far less than it was around 60 percent a. Clearly the idea is to prove that that was not a fluke. The ultimate thing is, its about the gaining trust and its a fad amount. Importance, when it comes to of vaccines. Just see how via actually passive to words. All the success is being claimed about sputnik 5 from russia. So its all about trust and the c. E. O. Is asked, isnt it . I see us call it said in the pit, even something good comes by mistake. He would be actually eager to show that it was no fluke as the shah will, all of that affect the approval process of the vaccine. I dont, think so. It would have a much building on that, considering that the us f. D. A. , the drug regulator that had said that minimum effectiveness rate was required to effectively fight it, called in 1000. 00 was around 50 percent. Now even the lure, the doodoo are doing achieve the least effective vaccine by asses in a car, the doozie they achieve 61 percent. So i dont think so. Theres going to be much of a difference there. And youre already seeing that the u. K. Regulators are actually taking steps to approve the vaccine or look into the effectiveness of this vaccine. And that theyre doing this much before they even actually responded in frankfurt. Thank you. And now to some of the other business stories making news, a 5 g. Convention has gone on the way in the city of joe, in southern china. The focus of the event event will be on demonstrating the applications of the technology in areas like family, life, health care, education, transport, and logistics. The gathering, attended by both scientists and industry insiders wraps up on saturday. The European Union will drop its 8 percent tariff on u. S. Lobsters for the next 5 years, and possibly even for good. The Business World war was worth 111000000. 00, a year before slumping by half as a result of u. S. , huge trade tensions in return, and u. S. Tariffs on 160000000. 00 worth of employees. Italian authorities are planning covert tested flights with alitalia and Delta Airlines from the u. S. Airports to eliminate the required 14 day quarantine for passengers arriving in italy. Similar corridors are also expected to be approved for flights between rome, airport and the german cities of munich. And frankfurt almost one and a half 1000000000 trips abroad. Thats the amount of traveling tourists around the world did it last year. Needless to say, that figure is looking much differently and 2020, a whole sectors fighting for survival. In this winter ski season, ski resorts are especially missing their snow. Swiss ski resorts are normally truong with visitors at this time of year. Right now things are pretty low key. The pandemic has kept Foreign Tourists away. So switzerland is promoting skiing for domestic visitors as long as they observe social distancing. Both dimmable could remove this pic as long as everyone respects mask wearing respects the rules that are in place. It seems to work pretty well the way it is now. So i hope it stays that way though, worldwide the pandemic is how to disastrous impact on the tourism industry. The sector could see income fall by 1. 00 trillion dollars less this year, according to the world tourism organization. Unless things turn around, the decline in tourism could knock 2. 8 percent off. Global g. D. P. 100 20000000. 00 jobs would be in jeopardy. Its clearly in every countrys interests to have holiday makers come back. Soon. Tourists have been coming back to cuba since november for 6 months. Cuba kept its borders closed, it is since reopened to tourism, as there are only a few cases of covert, 19 and visitors can expect empty beaches. I think and thats because they dont have so much that jamaica is also keen to lure the tourists back. 9 percent of its economy is dependent on tourism. It has introduced strict protocols and innovative resilient corridor, a system allowing visitors access to 80 percent of jamaicas tourism attractions.

I took her a very happy that we can reopen, will have our whole team back again and some of whom are currently unemployed and will return to our old role of customer advisors. See in magazines on december 15th, cinemas, theaters and museums can also reopen, but restaurants, cafes and bars will have to stay shut until at least mid january before then theyll be restricted to Takeaway Service only if it didnt for christmas. The good news is that the other shops will be able to reopen, that will bring a bit more foot fall out and the streets were partly a food shop and were offering duck for retailers.
