A Healthy Eating trend in the worlds top coal producing nations. And it is all one lets do business the future is laced with uncertainty thats the warning from the o. E. C. D. In its latest outlook the organization for Economic Cooperation and development says the economic damage isnt quite as bad as it predicted a few months ago but highlights the recovery has lost momentum paris based group urges governments to keep up policy support to boost confidence and reduce uncertainty projects the Global Economy will contract by 4 and a half percent this year before picking up by 5 percent next year thats based on governments addressing coronavirus outbreaks with targeted measures and not a return to the widescale downs that have rocked business and labor markets. Is what the o. E. C. D. S chief economist. Told me about the Economic Impact. We are going in for the deepest recession since the 2nd world war and the outlook is really surrounded by the uncertainty and thats been creating by the virus so yes this is a very tough barrier but i think there is still a lot that can a police make air can do go in mens need to both protect the people and help the reallocation of jobs from those activities not where king any longer to those that are 3 thriving slight digital our health care the e. U. Chief of on a lion has announced a new green a deal to cut emissions the plan is more aggressive and then business at the heart of it is our mission to become the 1st climate neutral continent in 2050 but we will not get there with the status quo we need to go faster and we need to do things better the European Commission is proposing to increase the 2030 targets for Emission Reduction to at least 55 percent. Of the. Well a long list of c. E. O. s and investors back the plan they say europe must avoid the worst effects of Climate Change i asked green lobbyist and over if the e. U. Will become the 1st climate neutral continent and if it will be a success. Well we certainly hope so the chance of that today is their largest car i mean contribute in europe and actually emissions them you car group or yes can make us less than a heavy and who is an s. U. V. So its really time to invest in cuticle to comment you future proof acknowledge he is the one that will bring jobs and make sure that our mcguinty is their emissions post it isnt for us it is what everyone else when will it get to the point that their electric mobility is 0 emissions i mean so so much of that electricity that is generated for those batteries and for those cars still comes from coal fired power plants in fact and already more than half of europes electricity today is low and 0 carbon and today the Commission President also announced plans to drive even more renewable into our system even on today and the electric car is already 3 times better than an equivalent of actual so that meet must be put to rest so were on the road to to a green a future about whats going to happen to germanys more than 800000 car jobs. Look how climate a mission is not synonymous with job losses you know back ultimately what matters the car industry is that there is help out the month for their products and this year has show that they resist throwing the month will actually cost more than 10 percent of also in germany 3 and were actually in actually so ultimately its actually the future group the commodity and it is these the market the kindest she has to me so we must have high estimate targets so that the car industry invest in the future acknowledge it while else then having back really at European Land and support with the automotive transition will be workers so that theyre ready for the future kids investment. It is this the right time i was going to ask for for an even greener plan from from the commission the pandemic has already hit the labor market hard in fact what we saw is that the electric process the doing better because its your rate the damage and especially us people so or will it be my actually now since they dont want to go back to what you cast theyre actually great lives for electric motors here in europe chaneys more than a coming to the market that means that european coming up failing to meet that demand and that the markets. The man youre talking about electra mobility so much and there are so many other options out there shouldnt the commission be looking at more than just that. Absolutely and the commission is looking at moving just that in fact and actually cost efficient vehicles that only 1. 00 part of the solution laid at the end will be working on the white just a moment bill its a strategy to make sure that there are less cars and i was going to use that. That means go electric that straight as bill goes to clean the mess to the right so theres a bus come up with Solutions Welcome and when he comes to the car and he acknowledges the youngest it is there. And those costs have to go emissions free to date the best you can all that you do that these electric well after labor day will be upon us going over thank you very much the World Trade Organization has ruled the Trump Administration is trade war illegal it says american juries imposed on over 200000000000. 00 in chinese goods broke trading rules as they applied only to china and were above maximum rates agreed to by the u. S. Washington says they were justified as beijing steals intellectual property and forces foreign firms to transfer technology for access to its markets u. S. Trade representative Robert Knight hi this is the w t o is completely inadequate to stop chinas harmful practices this is just the start of a Legal Process that could take years to hunt saw joins us from taipei so what is chinas response to all of this. Or a lot of Chinese People are asking if the u. S. Would again withdrawal from another Important International organization but officially Chinas Commerce Ministry said beijing supported that deputy all and to respect its rules and rulings and hope washington would do the same again criticize the u. S. Unilateralist and trade protectionism and cold the u. S. Tariff wrong practices against the deputy ols dispute settlement mckennas them it also emphasized that deputy ole is the cornerstone of International Trade and urged the u. S. To up hold this multilateral trading system like other members think were going to hear a lot more about the modernizing of the w t o in the days ahead can the ruling go help china in its trade war with the u. With. What chinas victory this time is more symbolic one because the enforceability is a real challenge of course the u. S. Can launch in the peel and Supreme Court but this body is now pretty much paralyzed because normally they have 7 judges at the moment they only have one so they cannot really deal with any cases and thats because washington has a veto the appointment of the judges and thats also why the deputy all in its name and also said that the 2 parties have to resolve the trade war themselves exactly this whole case could end up in legal limbo well see if the u. S. Does decide to appeal so had so thank you very much for joining us today. The chinese owner of take talk by looks set to relinquish some control of its Global Business to appease the Trump Administration according to reports the Draft Agreement would see the video Chinese Business operations headquartered in the us oracle would become a minor shareholder President Donald Trump has been demanding the sale of take talks American Business citing security concerns he says the deal is close. After gaining in popularity in parts of the world plant based meat is gaining traction in china the chinese eat more poll than anywhere else on the planet swine fever outbreaks and the coronavirus have consumers rethinking their eating habits. Its lunchtime at hope tree a busy beijing hotpot restaurant where customers pick ingredients for their hot pot letters vegetables and meat balls although these meat balls are not the typical before pork for rai they are plant based and new to chinese eaters. And i used to always eat beef meatballs with this one actually you can tell that it isnt meat but the feel of it in your mouth is very similar to beef meat balls and i guess that plant based protein is a little healthier than beef. And. Healthy eating is a new but strong trend in china and it is at least partially old to the coronavirus pandemic and the experience of the past months. Yes it did affect my eating habits we couldnt really eat out during the outbreak so we cooked at home that means we ate healthier because we thought more about what we were putting on our plates we thought about our vegetable and protein intake and tried to eat less spicy food we definitely ate healthier. Plant based meat has long been a growing trend in the u. S. And europe but chinese and super nervous see the potential for their own market of almost one and a half 1000000000 consumers western Companies Like beyond meat have set standards and theyre investing heavily in the Chinese Market but theyre not seen as the main competitors here. One. Hour true competitors are not those global giants who have already achieved Great Success such as beyond need more impossible foods our true competitor is the whole life stock sector which is the Animal Protein industry. Of course not everyone is sold on a vegetarian diet for some its not much more than a fad. Its a new product so we all want to try it but i feel that i prefer meat in the future i would like to eat real meat. And then again it doesnt have to be one way or the other chinese to attrition ists and some companies hope that their customers will replace at least a part of their meat based staples with healthier alternatives.

And welcome to door to those codes in 1900. 11 its good to have you with us 3000000 people in south africa have lost their work because of the pandemic and as a result many have lost their homes correspondent. Takes us to one of the many shanty towns now popping up across the country khayelitsha the largest township in cape town more than 1000000. 00 people live here including zoli carville in a month ago she could no longer afford the rent and simply built her own hearts on a vacant lot next door.

I dont have anything to solve at the moment. But im still. The family pays no rentier but the land doesnt belong to them. People are setting up their shacks all over the place here lot of construction happening and many here are saying they dont have a choice because they cant afford to pay rent any longer but the city on the other hand says these illegal and invasions are causing huge problems city officials tell us there have been more than 30 new locations with massive land occupations in just the last 6 weeks law and order in danger cape town lost 300. 00 hectares of land in the last year what ever the land was meant for is lost whether it is all spittle screw clinic if a piece of land is standing open its because there is an intended Community Use for that and there is in the case of these big invasions where i will tell you that Community Leadership in cali just stood up this is not a fight to be invaders against the state or land invaders against the city of quetta this is a fight of land invaders against a city of character and local residents since june the city says it has torn down some 60000 hearts in some cases resulting in violence this man was pulled out of his hat snake at a court has now ruled that the city needs a court order for every action and must of i turn a difficult day she into squatters. Structures for the city cant afford that 400000 people are already on the waiting lists for social housing that housing waiting list doesnt get shorter and the reason it doesnt get shorter is because theres constantly people pushing in the front if you were standing in a queue in a bank or at a cinema with theatre or something and you never got to the front because people were constantly pushing in the front you would become very angry and enraged. When everything annie and her family have also been hoping for an apartment from the state for a long time so far in vain.

People who are building the. Lake i was convinced that she will continue to live fear in the future a court order for eviction takes up to one and a half years the police are not intervening for the time being and around her the settlement continues to grow. Its not just shelter thats been thrown into question because of the pandemic food is also becoming scarcer in parts of africa the central hell region is among the continents hunger hotspots more than half of the populations of mali burkina faso and share suffers from Food Insecurity defined as the lack of regular access to the food they need in mali the trend is even getting worse and for more on this im joined by David Beasley the executive director of the World Food Program he joins me from berlin dave its good to see you as always when we talk about Food Insecurity this term help us understand what that looks like on the ground for someone in mali or saber faso. Well its not good at all i mean did it was already bad before code we had economic deterioration a lot of serious issues with the sri mr druce terrorist groups trying to exploit the situation not to mention then Climate Change moving down and millions of people being displaced and all of sudden becomes right on top of that and so globally were seeing from and im not talking about people that are going to bit hungry im talking about people that are on the brink of starvation that number was 135000000 before code now we see that number spiking to 270000000 by the end of this year and you break that down into places like mali and burkina faso here in other regions of africa it really is a bad situation there were facing in and we are facing it literally as we speak it is unfolding as we speak david in what ways is the pen dimmock itself affecting Food Supplies it doesnt really involve sickness necessarily does it. Well its a combination of factors i mean you know what were seeing to give it a good example is in nigeria when they had a 5 week lockdown they had about a 1000 people die from code but we had a 1000000 people go into Food Insecurity because of the lot down is still where she had economic deterioration were seeing a spike in food prices throughout africa lack of access economic theory ation loss of jobs you know if you do a lot down in the say in berlin people get food in their pantry for a week or 2 but a lot of these places they live hand to mouth they did day so if you do a lot dan youve got to make certain that we have a Safety Net Program in place if you dont and we dont address this right you leave the headmaster our patient masti stabilization or mass migration in a salon cheaper to go in and help the people who need help during this extremely difficult what exactly is needed to improve the situation talk about going in what kind of resources do you need and how close are you to getting it. Well youre not talking about a few 100000000. 00 come of billions of dollars around the world but particularly in africa if we get the right money right now we can come in because were actually the supply chain for covert at this point in time you know with the airline interest shutting down so were moving cope with supplies moving in food doing what we can do to make certain that we dont have export bans shut down additional points because if you do you might not get seeds in or fertilizer or food or whatever the case may be now what is critical is economic recovery and i know countries like germany which has done an amazing partner with us an economic stimulus package is also helping us direct monies only ground in the strategic locations because if we dont come in with the Strategic Support you can have the stabilization in migration people dont want to leave their home area but if they dont have food and they dont have any degree of peace they dont do it as take it takes to do to protect their family their children the little girl the little boys enough they had more mothers tell me said my husband didnt want to join isis or outside of but we had that our little girl in 2 weeks is to be easily please help us is so thankfully the people of germany the people around the world are stepping up but we still have a lot more money we need over the next many months and this is not going to play out just in the next couple of months i am really concerned about 2020 but i think shrink the concern about 2021 because the Economic Impact that code is head is going to play out i think in a devastating way with Economic Opportunity in africa so its not a short ball game were talking about its a long run weve got to be really prepared for all right an urgent appeal there from David Beasley executive director of the World Food Program thank you very much for joining us thank you. And now its time for your questions to our science correspondent there williams. Smoking and the spread of coded 19. Smokers have had it pretty tough during this pandemic as far as i can tell there is still not absolute watertight evidence of a direct link between smoking regularly and worse outcomes if you catch covered 19 but i wouldnt wait for that proof i mean come on this is a potentially severe respiratory disease and we know that smokers are hit harder when they catch a range of other pathogens that cause similar symptoms but if they have covert 19 does the act of smoking also make them more contagious to others because they are could their 2nd hand smoke pose a danger of infection to those around them well we dont really know and its extremely hard to prove one way or the other but theres enough evidence it might that some regions in spain banned smoking in public last month and and other public spaces like some casinos in the us have done the same the smoke that comes in a cloud out of the smokers mouth when they when they exhale forcefully is basically a mix of particulates and aerosols thats exit being from deep within that persons logs and the evidence is going pretty convincing that aerosols can carry the virus so while theres no conclusive evidence on whether Secondhand Smoke is is more or less infectious that aerosols exhaled by by nonsmokers a lot of experts think it makes sense to err on the side of caution after all many are now saying that if you can smell what someone had for lunch you can also potentially catch covert 19 from them so it seems to me that the same would hold true for inhaling someone Secondhand Smoke. Derrick williams there and finally to mexico where a tattoo artist in the city of monterrey has come up with a novel way to deal with pandemic only to do is giving away free tattoos to those who have beaten the disease edging coded 1000 survivors on their arms he says the survivors of a 2nd chance at life.
