Eggs from the web chinese farmers are increasingly turning to online streaming to sell the product. And. The European Unions technology rules are stuck in the stone age thats the verdict of the woman behind the blocks latest effort to tame big tech you Competition Commission or mockery divest has long been a thorn in the side of the likes of apple and facebook now she says her proposals will lay down the law for those Companies Finally creating a Single Market for Digital Services. She said down with a reporter to no tomorrow. Thank you so much for joining us today commissioner its the pressure now digitalisation is of course a very important topic in europe and with your Digital Services act do you would like to see a range of rules imposed on Big Tech Companies like facebook and google and apple rules like making them share their data with smaller rivals what is it that you think that theyre doing that is so wrong. Well the last time when our democracies sort of say things you can do things you cannot do that was back in the digital stone age that was the year 2000 and no one back then imagines whats what what would be the case of our reality today so when you then grow up and you become stronger then of course comes responsibility. And we need to say to some of these Service Providers you have a responsibility for the way you do business to make sure that people feel as comfortable when they are online as well as when they are off line and that i think is very important and also for these businesses the internment of is that Member States they make their own legislation i think i would still prefer to have one set of rules to live by but can it keep up with the breakneck speed of tech well not so known the difference of services that will not do it alone i also think that we need to say to some of the gatekeepers there is there are a number of things that you simply cannot do so that basically regulate from the outset to say this a b c dont do it and last but not least to be able to say well we dont want new gatekeepers to to rice we want to make sure that also other Digital Markets that they stay competitive some would argue that it makes more sense to create the conditions that would give birth to the european equivalent of a Facebook Google or apple why dont we have the equivalent of those companies and could regulation be getting in the way. I think we we failed 201020 years ago in providing a real digital Single Market because one of the reasons why the giants are giants today and that also goes to the chinese giants was that they had a Single Market they had a giant home market while they could grow the strengths to become Global Companies and this is why one side of things is of course for society to catch up with the Digital Development but the 2nd thing is to provide a real digital Single Market also for european businesses to grow and to provide a Capital Market with sort of more risk taking for instance Venture Capital that comes with capital but also with knowledge about how to how to scale up this company but we need to provide businesses with the market and with the capital needed weve learned to also recognise as the public how difficult it actually is to regulate very Big Companies to try and prevent monopolies how would you rate your success as a commissioner. Well as they say it aint over til the fat lady sings and i have 4 more years to go so i love to pick it up when we get there thank you very much. But was due to. Speaking to you Competition Commission or market investor. Now a brief look at some of the other business stories making the news bars in paris open for a final time on monday night ahead of a forced 15 day closure because the coronavirus been damaged its after the french capital posted its highest daily number of new cases on saturday 17000 restaurants can stay open as long as they put in measures like Hand Sanitizer on tables the International Monetary fund has agreed to give emergency aid to 28. 00 of the worlds poorest countries the money is intended to help the countries cover debt repayments and free up resources to fight the coronavirus pandemic. If the success of amazon is telling us anything it is that selling stuff online works nowadays you can get almost anything on the web and now farmers in china are also increasingly turning to online streaming as a way to sell their produce influencers or even running courses to teach the tricks of the trade and for those who crack it theres a lot of money to be made. Leaving his old life behind 2 months salary were enough to see this once poor farmers son rolling up into work in a brand new tesla. With the help of this army of feathered friends produces duck eggs but the key to his extraordinary success is online streaming. Through the chinese up tick tock he gives a behind the scenes glimpse of the everyday workings of the factory at the same time potential customers can ask questions or even place an order. How much you dont without how selling through the channel is great. Much better than the traditional way with all the middle male fans who want to share of the money so young that they get.

Its to the United States now where lawmakers are wrangling over the latest stimulus package needed to boost the stricken economy the pen damage has seen governments all around the world step in with massive support packages of public money at the end of july many coronavirus Unemployment Benefits in the United States were shot off the wave of new cases and effects on business means a massive new 2. 00 trillion dollars stimulus package is on the table right now the democrats are in favor but republicans think it is too high now germanys financial response back in march also slipped into the trillion range the governments unprecedented response included a 500000000000 euro bailout fund to recapitalize Big Companies as well as a hugely expensive short time work scheme subsidizing temporarily laid off workers germanys socalled bazooka of measures toward its european neighbors back in july the e. U. As a whole finally unveiled its own collective response a 750000000000. 00 euro package which included a historic 390000000000. 00 euros worth of grants which e. U. Countries do not have to pay back lets get more from our financial correspondent Chelsea Delaney in frankfurt chelsea a lot of talk about stimulus is there enough action. There certainly was a lot of action on the behalf of governments around the world over the summer to really introduce these really big stimulus measures but over the past couple of months weve definitely seen governments increasingly paralyzed by the politics of this so thats true not only in the United States which has been negotiating this 2nd stimulus package basically since july but also here in the e. U. Were you leaders did agree on a 750000000000 euro stimulus package and this is a very difficult to day summit which is one of the longest ever but since then weve seen that become increasingly uncertain the e. U. Leaders are still split over how to condition the pay outs for this for the stimulus effort they are discussing it right now finance ministers are they are expected to vote on it this week as well but its still very uncertain whether that money will be getting to the country soon josy in french numbers are rising in many places across the world how are we supposed to factor in big big lead to more severe restrictions of public life but could they also serve as an accelerator for more financial help. It absolutely has we heard this from really politicians all around the world that right now these governments need to break the deadlock on negotiations here in the e. U. Many countries are starting to experience 2nd waves of infection spain for example which already had an 18 percent contraction in the 2nd quarter as had to reinstitute lock down measures they really need the money from the stimulus effort so thats definitely putting more pressure on countries to sort of come forward with the proposals already underway. Whether that will lead whether there will be need a need for more Going Forward it will depend on how strict coronavirus for just legislation will be Going Forward josie things from now but do stay with us. Because german producers enjoyed a busy august as Industrial Orders jumped by more than 4 percent well about the forecast the increase in demand raised holds of a robust 3rd quarter and europes largest economy which had contracted by almost 10 percent in the 2nd quarter. Just a delay back to you in frankfurt this is a catching a process obviously which sectors are the most helpful here weve seen it particularly a lot of strength from the auto sector so the auto sector is actually back to where it was in february so its basically erased all of those virus bad months this isnt really caring there to the entire German Economy for example the Services Sector is still getting hit really hard here and of course still the question of how the rising number of chronic iris cases is going to impact the economy shows the dylan in frankfurt thank you. And thats our show if you want more you can always go to our website at v. W. Dot com slash business for me and the entire team here in berlin thanks for watching every cell phones so thats what ive. Come about in the corona pandemic. Where does research stand. What are scientists learning. Background information and news. Hour corona. 19 special next on d w komi pushed. Us right now from the right now Climate Change different top story. This is why close the way just one week. How much oil can really get. We still have time to act im going. To subscribe. Russia calls it relief for the world the shipments contain the back seeing candidate sputnik. 2000 venezuelans will try it out including a member of the president ial family. Emitter farcically nikolay brewer in this Clinical Trial phase my son nicholas and estimate duro guerra told me of his decision to be vaccinated with the russian vaccine to join the trial i think its very good by the same way im. Better ruths was the 1st foreign country to receive batches of the back seen last week india is also interested in testing it. For russia it could be a spark nick moment like the one in 157 when the communists launched the 1st satellite. In august russia declared itself the 1st country to approve a Coronavirus Vaccine high risk groups been receiving sputnik 5 Health Workers journalists teachers china russia has been deploying the shots before full efficacy trials are complete the results are promising the vaccine has been met with some skepticism washing his hands multiple times a day just one of a series of hygiene measures gulper in undertakes the doctor doesnt want to take any chances with coronavirus but he knows of vaccine would offer the best protection against covered 19 thats why his volunteer to take part in testing a new russian one. Of those with someone has to do it without Clinical Trials they are no medicines the effectiveness of a vaccine can only be evaluated in the 3rd phase of Clinical Trials in a new 3. 00 to 4. 00. Stage 3 of the trials began a month ago but the vaccine which has been named footnote 5. Still ready in august before they began mass inoculation in russia is planned for later this year something numerous experts have sharply criticized the russian government rejects the criticism it says the vaccine has been developed from already known substances and doesnt pose any health risks were were russia urgently needs an effective vaccine the country currently has the 4th highest number of corona virus cases worldwide and the numbers continue to rise with around 6000 new infections each day. Galperin and other doctors working say they are not worried about the vaccine safety. After older vaccine has already been tested on several well known Public People and theyre doing quite well. These public figures include Russian Defense minister sergei surely google moscow mayor say gay so beyond in and one of president Vladimir Putins daughters ports and p. R. Material. Its part of russias Strategic Interests to always want to be 1st irrespective of whether its revolution or the 1st flight into space now its about saying that were the 1st to develop a vaccine internally were showing that this situation is under control x. Journal and its a signal that russia is still mastering its role as the savior of the world. And. Some young galperin isnt thinking about his countrys p. R. Plans just now the doctor is here because his hoping to help win the fight against the corona virus pandemic. We are tired they wanted to be over the new vaccine would help calm people and offer a way out of the situation. It will most likely be at least several months until the results of the phase 3 trials known only then can the actual effectiveness and safety of russians put nick 5 vaccine be assessed. Know about safe works at the International VaccineAccess Center of the Johns HopkinsBloomberg School of Public Health so will the russians be the 1st. And look there are lots more lots of people to achieve a vaccine its not about whos going to be 1st its event as many people as can cross the finish line really to have a safe and effective vaccines we want multiple winners here and there are vaccine is certainly you know doing moving into phase large scale phase 3 is as are many others and we want lawson shit to occur after the completion of these things 3 is when we have good safety data and good if you can see that out of the vaccines actually work. Lots of people we want to succeed here not just on one group or another on the point of safety have the russians being fudging the numbers of some of q. s then skipping parts of the trials. Theres no good solid evidence that theres been any concern about the numbers the detail that was given in the russian papers and it was excellent you know the quality of the evidence was as solid as any of the other published papers the there have been some lay reports on blogs and so on those really dont hold water when examined fairly and statistically so no i dont have any of more concerns about this group than any other group of tickling. The modified common cold viruses behind such vaccines have been studied for decades but still not widely used why why is that. There are a number of other vaccine platforms that have we have a lot more experience with the advantage of any of our very good vaccines ease that they are potentially capable of privilege bring almost a antigen to the immune system and so there and they vector itself is designed to be known up look at ing sort of caught causing friction the capacity to do that the capacity to develop these vaccines has been in development for quite a long time but i recently has a really rich lawson shot and of the pressure really you know developing a vaccine against of all of ours and thats been a success so thats good and we would like to see more of these vaccines Going Forward claiming a lot more experience with them particularly around safety and around if you can see but theres no reason to suspect that theyll be problematic accidents in fact theyre likely to be very good vaccines where you have a range of potential at and of our civic theres some more frequently encountered by human populations than others then at differences tension that could arise among the different products and that some of the that detail its coming out from some of the scientific literature but as a platform have you know its a really exciting platform and we hope that theyll be lots of opportunities to develop this platform next analogy beyond this pandemic into the future also whats the certainty though the vaccine is the past phase 3 will be successful for the wider population. Theres never a certain take you know hes built on uncertainty and falsifiability so its really important and methods as rigorous as they can be and its important that we continue to evaluate the vaccine even after that its rolled out and even after to choose licensure in phase 3 phase 3 trials of the trials that demonstrate large scale you know in terms of tens of thousands and collectively close to hundreds of thousands of People Safety and disappearance and important efficacy against disease sort of actually protects human beings against disease thats the time that we require philosophia. For a vaccine is very rarely hopeful because as you know a series sound very rarely their society has that i have the pros and cons as we go back since they were potentially harmful but very rarely so but they are very very beneficial and frequently so so its always a question of balancing the risks and benefits and that correct balance requires good science once or violence and good evidence Going Forward beyond phase 3 and beyond licensure wellington any use of hopefully in future use youve said its problematic if a vaccine is designed to target the disease and not the infection why. Well its not exactly right about your clothes i mean or vaccines really designed to target disease but clearly were facing a complex situation currently recording of ours because we have widespread infection and transmission occurring globally i think a public expectation is that once a vaccine is available we go back to the way things work and we stop mosques and we stop social distancing and thats just a moment of whatever that saying at least in the initial phase can do the end of the vaccines to reduce disease and to reduce it in volatile groups at least initially in the 1st round of vaccination if a vaccine is given to those at high risk and not to everybody clearly transmission will continue to occur you know if you didnt receive the vaccine but a year from now or year and a half from now or 2 years from now when the vaccine is more widely available it will be critical to demonstrate that it actually reduces transmission and not just reduces disease because if it doesnt do that then the only other ways to reduce transmission to continue with face masks and so on and one could imagine a paradox whereby if the vaccine continues to allow transmission and works less well to protect against disease in the other lead that you know paradoxically. Address that comes could get worse not better so we need to be very careful about how we deploy vaccines on the basis of the best available science and evidence around what they do what their if it is these against you know about say thank you very much for joining us thank you for having. And its that part of the show when we look at your questions of a crow virus is the new science correspondent there. Are any countries Testing School aged kids on a wide scale to if so what are the results. Because covert 19 in general at least doesnt affect children as severely as older people kids in general have not been tested as much throughout the pandemic its simply been a question of resource allocation but the lack of really solid data has also led to a lot of speculation that kids might not be much of a factor in spreading the disease throughout Wider Society which has in some countries influenced things like decisions to reopen schools but now a big study from india could cause authorities to rethink that idea it focused among other things on Contact Tracing data from 85000 confirmed cases in 2 states there in total it looked at test results from over 500000 contacts that occurred between people who were infected and the people they gave it to or didnt get to and one of the most interesting takeaways was that it showed kids actually do pass the disease on to other kids especially those in their age group which would include for example kids in the same class at school what the study wasnt able to clarify was was how often those kids subsequently might have passed the virus along to adults but but even so the evidence now looks pretty compelling it indicates that the idea that kids dont really spread covert 19 doesnt really hold water which a lot of researchers have said shouldnt actually come as a surprise.
