Help could come in the form of a new trillion dollar recovery package proposed by republican politicians its already controversial across the aisle it appears the republican legislative response to cold it is on unifying and serious and satisfactory. It could take days of debate for both sides to move closer to a deal but the clock is ticking the current assistance for millions of americans is set to expire at the end of this month and as long as infection rates remain high the damage being wrought by the pandemic will continue to sprint. Alright the clock is ticking and with that lets go to our financial correspondent yens quarter in new york yes unemployment claims ticking back up where is this rise coming from exactly well those numbers are not broken down by industries but by region and we saw the biggest spike in regions or in states like california where we had the biggest increase of your corner cases in the past couple of days and weeks but then its also not hard to imagine where we see most job losses that falls patella t. Its the Service Industry its restaurants its bars im standing here on a parking lot of a big care furniture only curbside pick up so far so business is definitely not back to normal we also heard on thursday that the owner of their fashion chain. And taylor actually had to file for bankruptcy protection. In should we expect these new jobless numbers will add to the urgency in washington surpass a new relief bill. It clearly shows that washington still needs to do more and most economists and also the Federal Reserve are actually asking for more federal spending the big question is where and how to spend as weve talked about a couple of times next week the program is coming to an end that people who are unemployed receive weekly extra of 600. 00 that the program will probably not be prolonged republicans might not 600. 00 extra per week but maybe just 100. 00 maybe a one time check of 1200. 00 for american taxpayers so thats whats in the air but if you look at the overall picture about 30000000. 00 americans receive unemployment aid the one way or the other and its pretty likely that we will see more we do not know especially when Congress Actually might find some Common Ground and then the overall question also remains how strong the u. S. Economy really is or how strong the comic cuz been so what will happen of all those federal money and all those extra aid will vanish that will really tell the story hold strong the u. S. Economy is to corona or in the midst of the corona crisis already growing urgency there in the u. S. Yes court in new york thank you and lets take a look now some of the other business stories making headlines. Space x.

Thousands of air bus employees gathered outside a factory near madrid on thursday to protest against a Restructuring Plan that would cut around 900 jobs in spain in 1000 pandemic has led to a sharp drop in demand for the planes and systems that air bus produces. Well to top airlines in the u. S. American airlines and southwest say theyll likely scale back their plans to roll out more flight routes in august and september as the number of coping 1000 cases in the country grows the news is yet another blow to an Airline Industry in desperate need of increasing its flight numbers. July is usually high season and Londons Gatwick airport to be crowded with vacationers eager to fly to spanish and italian beaches but in the midst of the pandemic there are just a few tourists here. Yeah it does you actually we wait to see this i could be anyone here but if i can and lead them on the way i want to look to toss anything it is just a bit confusing and scary. In june only 11000 passengers pass through britain 2nd Busiest Airport after heathrow a year earlier there were over 2000000 passengers here many are afraid of flying during the pandemic e. U. Transport ministers want to minimize the risk of infection and have agreed to require passengers age 6 and above to wear a mask another key measure is social distancing at airports during security checks and check ins and the ministers want more fresh air to be introduced continuously during flights but the middle seat does not have to remain empty cast wrapped Airlines Want to be able to sell all of their seats 2020 will go down in history as the worst year for global Aviation Airlines are expected to lose more than 74000000000. 00 euros this year according to the International Air transport association probably it will have less operate sure what number there it is so if the industry would have shrunk. By that day which is not good news for everyones thats going to slow lots of to sleep its not good news for us and just because it means you know a Restricted Office less this nation less competition and the sector is likely to see more hygiene measures from touchless luggage tag printing to temperature measuring devices the pandemic is certain to change the way we fly for many years to come. And earlier i spoke with gal visible an aviation expert with consulting i began by asking him about a new report that emirates would pay for the medical bills of passengers infected with kovan 19 presumably during their flight i want to know if that was a practical model for the entire industry. Honestly i think its a good its a good marketing activity what theyre in should use in europe and if we look at our country so they have a long tradition of on the health care for employees so i think its a consequence of this but at the end i dont really think that its practical or look so should be questions need to proof ok whether you get the infection on the flight after the flight 10 days after the flight in the hotel before whatsoever so i think at the end its very difficult to really execute this and we know the airlines are burning cash right now when can we expect the industry to return to a sustainable level of travel. Very good question at the moment nobody really knows so if we look at the figures ok so for example your control says this year so no we are true 2 percent compared to 2019 end of the year are they they race they they take will be at 80 percent but the winter is the load dumont anyway so you think it will still keep a low level from my side i expect and thats a significant recovery but not the total recover earliest beeston next year. Right and in the meantime what structural changes do we see airlines making to adjust to this new reality. And so the demand is slow the demon still will let say continue below so all airlines have to restructure and it starts with a fleet of course the capacity says they have to lower the capacities but at the end they have to really restructure the network and have to eliminate all mostly unprofitable routes so when we look into last years and profitable routes were certain they could afford it because of the old will prompt ability of the network but today they need the cash than at the liquidity so they have to look very carefully on all the routes where where they might it burning more cash and they will eliminate it still at the end i think we will see a much lighter network in europe but at the end also what white.
