a bid to lower costs as it fights to stay in operation germany's lufthansa the 2nd largest in europe has signed a deal to secure a $10000000000.00 government rescue package but in the u.s. where air travel demand has picked up a little since april the number of people passing through airports is still down by more than 92 percent compared to this time last year let's turn to dominic kane joining us from berlin what does this mean full of tons of. 2 massive approvals are needed for this to go through piece of the 1st one well they've got across the finishing line already the european commission saying yes it's approves this deal which will see the german government taking a 20 percent stake in the tons of shareholdings but the 2nd approval is still outstanding that will come or not from the shareholders of last night lufthansa who will be meeting in the course of the next few hours to decide whether they accept
1:03 pm
the terms of the deal there has been some suggestion in the media over the past week or so that this is not the easiest of approvals to get because it will entail individual shareholders losing some value in their shares their shares will be diminished as it were diluted by what this bailout would represent however the single largest shareholder a german billionaire businessman and tita has said that he is the likely to vote for this bailout and if 2 thirds of shareholders vote for it then it will happen what's interesting here is the german government clearly thinks that this is the best way of doing things the economy minister is the key ally of anger the national service of christian democratic union government says that this bailout this deal will safeguard 100000 jobs because as you were saying the pandemic has really struck lufthansa very hard and indeed many others at all other airlines in europe
1:04 pm
over the course of the past few months but there are some airlines who want keen on this deal ryanair for example mr o'leary the chief executive officer of ryan has already said that he's not happy with what's being proposed and he's going to seek to try to stop this if he can was his problem with it because if everyone's flying that means people are going online and buying tickets and giving money to the carriers so what's the issue for him. well one of the issues for not just mr larry but for other airlines is the potential for love turns or as it were to get more of a controlling interest in so far as slots landing slots at key german airports are concerned one of the cafe at sin this deal one of the the safeguarding missions as it were has been that look tends to promise that it will liberate that it will loosen up some of the slots that it has the key hub airports in germany that's frankfurt and that's munich so. that it will liberate those slots and they will
1:05 pm
become available for competitors the question will be whether that's enough for mr larry and indeed for other airlines who might feel that the plans or is is acquiring slots which actually are holding on to slots which are. at the point here is a ses the european commission is approved this is said this can go ahead so it will be likely that mr leary will have to persuade people in brussels and the other e.u. institutions and so far at least the european commission is said no that look turns this deal can go ahead ok don we'll leave it there thanks very much dominic kane our correspondent in berlin. well as we've been mentioning australia's biggest carrier quantas is laying off thousands of staff as it tries to survive a global pandemic the airline says it does not expect the nation's borders to open at least for tourists for the coming year is nicolas cage. right now qantas is meant to be celebrating its 100th anniversary instead it's dealing with
1:06 pm
the biggest crisis in its history the israeli national airline has fired 6000 staff and another 15000 workers will stay on leave the moment this crisis is still hit was very very hard and the impact will be felt for a long time particularly i'm sorry to say the impact on our people. with borders closed and flights grounded quantas says the ongoing collapsing global air travel left it no choice but to cut 20 percent of its workforce it's a huge setback for the aviation industry $100.00 planes will be grounded for at least a year with a stroller as international borders predicted to remain closed for tourists potentially into next year to be not english this next financial year july next year we may start seeing some national services and that will on against the 50
1:07 pm
percent union groups have strongly criticized the cuts quantas officials hope to save $10000000000.00 over 3 years they are to make dramatic restructuring and change the culture because it so see a lot better at job enough to see the opportunities that this will bring that will survive and flourish into the future the losses come after his trial his 2nd largest airline virgin was placed into what's called voluntary administration in april after it failed to repay billions into it and is happening while unemployment levels are rising because of the pandemic quantas is decision is a signal that the pain from this global health crisis won't be over any time soon gauge al-jazeera camera. let's bring in david lee amount who joins us on skype from london david is a consultant at a flight global and formerly pilot with the u.k. royal air force david good to talk to you again was this the best decision on the
1:08 pm
part of qantas i don't i don't know whether it's the best decision and qantas doesn't know whether it's the best decision because we are in a situation that the industry has never faced before it's a medical emergency and there are lines don't expect to have to deal with things like this. they do know that they have. a domestic market and australian domestic flying market which probably will recover and is already beginning to recover now of course australia's population is only about $25000000.00 so it's not as big as the usa where the domestic market is already recovering quite well international flying though as you heard in your own report australia doesn't think it's going to open its borders 'd to nonessential travel as for
1:09 pm
a year and that cuts out the whole quantas is international division was quantas facing a uniquely difficult problem because for most of us it's at the end of the line apart from if you go on another plane and went to new zealand you know and it's a long investment in a flight clearly the borders are closed that's a whole different factor but also the business the people who sit on the planes have to decide yes i want to spend 24 hours or even 48 hours or 2 or 3 days to get there and that's just too much of a big ask. yes i i think that may be a factor in it but the thing is people have been doing this for years they have been choosing to go those great distances to australia or new zealand and incidentally it looks as if they're opening up old very very soon will open up australia new zealand services so that you know that's something for airlines like
1:10 pm
wants us to do but no the main factor here is the artificial closure of the borders for for you know medical reasons to to stop the spread of cove it what's your reading of o'leary's reaction the ryanair boss to look it looks like getting this massive bailout is he right in as much as it tilts or it makes the whole european aviation industry asymmetric in the favor of love tonsil well i think his his reaction was completely predictable in terms of his personality and his management style and yes i understand what he's complaining about however. i wouldn't i wouldn't sort of support what europe is doing the measure under which is being assisted is a temporary measure which is surely related it's not a measure which would the e.u.
1:11 pm
would normally have allowed how it's going to be interesting to see if only every challenge is legally challenges this decision and what the result will be because he has not slowed to make legal challenges david good to talk to you we appreciate your insight thanks for coming on david liam on the aviation analysts with flight global in london. stay with the aviation industry pakistan international airlines has grounded one 3rd of their pilots $150.00 of them after an investigation found they cheated to get their licenses inquiry found that out of the $860.00 pilots in the country 262 had someone else sit their exams and the other 82 were either unqualified or they forged their paperwork the people who cheat were discovered after an investigation into a plane crash in may it killed 97 people the crash caused by human error let's get more now from kemal in islam about kemal everyone around the world who's ever go on
1:12 pm
a plane i'll be asking the same question how can this possibly have happened. when you really need to be sure you are good good good you're reading gate of the national airline we're going one step right up the country to get jane many out there. we're over the. one you're going to endeavor in the region she played the organ night vision i just did ricky a he. dropped it got for coming in for that 98 game or 10 high over short run out there we did were discovered dead the pilot had you regain shoot this thing out for a reason to be in dire straits did you mention and so do rebekah take given preventive measure in desperate need to be beat didn't want to be here to ensure their flight safety and all the regulations for your and of course this in white even though it
1:13 pm
so be it reported to the rate that the government does something or not because even in the park they've been several and why didn't no action it been taken your life now and the government to see where did they really did each we're referring to these $262.00 individuals as pilots come out. they weren't pilots because they cheated on their exams or presumably they got to a stage where they would have cheated other questions now about whether there should be a criminal investigation because people died in that plane crash and also the airline surely has to address issues of how systemic this was because for every one of those 262 people there must have been one or 2 or 3 all the people surely who knew exactly what was going on. had he didn't think right now is that the new management of the airline has
1:14 pm
brought me to do away with don't know or don't think i'm decency that we're taking place in labor unions that don't mean you're doing the airline there ought to mediate you don't stall for egg drop and so all it is has to be improved by based on what's duty. it's the aviation safety standard it going to be important to see what kind of criminal proceeding really take place and when to head railroad or not be got rid out doubt this particular problem is likely to continue on thursday needs to be strict one drink doing short it violates have been if it's a good dangerous and unnecessary expedient because we have. to go and do extensive training but the problem behaved a bit did g. day and all that that god sent me down what create out of the high standard that the state it maintains tomorrow thank you very much come on hard our correspondent
1:15 pm
there in islamabad. lots more still to come for you here on the news hour including we have an update from lebanon just around the corner where protesters are back on the streets still fed up with the economic crisis there. fisherman rescue nearly 100 grain the refugees now indonesia says it plans to push them back out to sea. and in the sport liverpool are within touching distance of winning their 1st english premier league title in 13 years details coming up with santa in about 30 minutes. people in lebanon have been protesting since wednesday night they say they're fed up with the worst economic crisis in decades and sectarian tensions to lebanon's economy has lost more than 70 percent of its value since october and the 19 measures are making the situation worse in
1:16 pm
a holder joins us from beirut so there is a big meeting that taking place today what are they trying to achieve. the president called for this so-called national gathering he invited former prime ministers former presidents the heads of different political parties he wanted really to reduce the sectarian and political tensions as well as and the political impasse but the opposition that boycotted the session you talk to anybody in the opposition and they'll say we do not want to give legitimacy or credibility to the ruling alliance we do not want to be responsible for any decisions they take so really there is the political impasse but at the same time there is this on the streets people on the streets are do not want the ruling alliance and they don't want the opposition either because both these groups governed leopard on for decades and they ran the economy into the ground they're blaming them for
1:17 pm
corruption that for waste in the pot. sector and that is why the economy is so dire and you mentioned the local currency the lira losing 70 percent of its value since october which means people salaries are really worth nothing and this protest that particular is about the detention of activists there accusing the authorities of silencing dissent of because since friday they've taken in the authorities have taken at least $25.00 activists for questioning simply for posting on social media criticism against an official as far as the protestors are concerned so you know if they do want the existing government and they don't want what is now called the opposition they coalescing against any people from their own ranks who have political aspirations because the either work with what they've got when it comes to politics or presumably they've got to try to come up with something else.
1:18 pm
this has been their weakness from the beginning back in october the very fact that they haven't been able to speak and one voice because the minute they talk about divisive issues in this country and then you see a split or one of those divisive issues what elec torah law to use in a parliamentary election because the current electoral law for example will ensure that the traditional parties will return to office and that's why you have for example the mainly christian opposition insisting on an election because they will benefit from the electoral law people here will tell you we want an independent government we want people not linked to the political elite at all but like i said it has been their weakness from day one we went to a press conference earlier this morning a number of civil society groups coming together trying to speak in one force but it is going to be a very difficult fight especially when you are up against a militarized state you can see the heavy security presence here they have been
1:19 pm
arresting and clamping down on critics silencing them so this is an uphill struggle to change those in power but the opposition undoubtedly is being accused of writing on the wave of popular anger thank you very much a reporter there in beirut. people in russia on constitutional changes that could allow the president vladimir putin to stay in power for longer if the proposals are approved mr putin would be able to run for another 2 terms as president his current term is shuttle to end in 2024 but the changes could see him remaining in office until 2036 referendums gone ahead despite fears it can cause a rise in covert $1000.00 cases in total around 200 amendments are being proposed in the referendum other changes would increase the power of the government's legislative branch the 2 term extension would not apply to future presidents and the candidates must have lived in russia for the past 25 years that essentially
1:20 pm
rules to significant opposition politicians people have until wednesday to vote but the reforms have already been adopted by both houses of parliament joining us now on skype from moscow a senior associate at the institute for european russian and eurasian studies at george washington maria lipman maria welcome back to the news if it's already been adopted by both houses of parliament what's the point 7. if they would get into the question this vote is not even a referendum because a referendum is regulated by law this is called in russia or popular vote and legally it is a really they go you regulate the procedure we have it because what's in said he wanted it he admitted that legally it was not necessary apparently he wants to look he wants the mitten still look as an expression popular will apparently hoping that this would help him in consolidate his legitimacy do you think it's his desire for
1:21 pm
him to stay in office in power or is it really about him neutralizing any viable opposition. there is no viable opposition to speak of certainly not at this moment what it has been seen in russia or as a leader of the alternative almost ever since he became president the kremlin has worked very hard on this image and successfully sell right now put in is not threatened by any challenger public opinion in russia is not as positive about him as it used to be but he is still regarded as by far the most popular and the most broadly supported political figure whether he is he has been dissipates sions whether he is going certain about the future when his popularity will continue to decline is anybody's guess but yet i hear what you're saying about you know his
1:22 pm
popularity declining at the last election i think people were a little bit surprised when they worked out that the economy or when they learned that the russian economy was and is not in as good a place as it might be and yet people still voted for him so he's trying to ride the wave of russia is putin putin is russia. well actually what you just said is a quote i would throw money a high ranking papa little figure in russia or the speaker of. the. and actually. this is the way it the kremlin is wanted to be for the time being. after put in there will be put in this is a quote from another high ranking official in russia. indeed since popularity's approval rating has gone down but it still remains at a high enough level in the what is more important nobody else's rating has gone up
1:23 pm
significantly and there is no anti put in consolidation in the country so if he has fears about his stature about his doubters it leader of the alternative it has to do with something that goes on in his mind his approach and probably his expectations about the future maria lipman in moscow thank you very much my pleasure an advisor to the e.u. use top court says hungary is breaking the european union law by sending back illegal migrants and denying them asylum procedures the european commission had sued hungary in 20 teen accusing it of unlawful detention of migrants the non-binding opinion follows a separate ruling last month that said hungary can't detain asylum seekers indefinitely dungaree and prime minister obama has been told as with most e.u. leaders over his anti refugee and anti immigrant policies. the world meteorological organization is investigating rising temperatures in the arctic after the siberian
