u.s. break. also this hour no longer fair just lovely a popular skin lightning cream is renamed after a backlash in the wake of the black lives matter protests. and in sports the house of the 2023 women's world cup will be announced later on thursday and joint australia new zealand bed goes up against colombia as they all drive to stage the competition for the 1st time. we begin with new developments in the global aviation industry's efforts to survive during the coronavirus pandemic more than 40 major airlines have been forced to ground their entire fleets many have suspended over 90 percent of their flights australia's largest airline quantas today announced $6000.00 jobs are to be cut in

the pit to lower costs as it fights to stay in operation across in the u.s. air travel is still down more than 92 percent as compared to last year even though some flights have resumed since april in germany tons of the 2nd largest airline in europe has signed a deal to secure a $10000000000.00 government rescue package. let's turn now to dominic cain joining us from berlin so this is on the face of it don the good news for the. on the face of it good news for the tons of pizza but remember this deal needs still to be approved by the shareholders of loved ones and the devil's in the detail that because in order for the shareholders to approve this deal they have in effect to accept the dilution of the power of the shares that they own and that has proved to be a sticking point for some quarters amongst the shall hold as from the german government perspective yet they'll be acquiring 20 percent of the stock of tons of

the shares that is and the economy minister a key ally of angela merkel to the pits of fire from the christian democratic union and said this is the best deal because it will safeguard 100000 jobs clearly has been very badly affected during the pandemic but as i say this is got to get the approval of the shareholders they've been in a digital a virtual meeting there for several hours we're expecting the federal finance minister the social democrat or shots to make some sort of statement after we know the outcome of the result of the shareholders vote the other hurdle of this deal has happened to get over today has been approval by the european commission by the e.u. institutions because in the government acquiring such a large stake of lufthansa the state aid rules which apply across the european union have to be here to the european commission said will this deal does that here to those but of course as i say that the cafe at here is will the shareholders indorse this deal dominic thank you very much. well as we mentioned australia's

biggest carrier quantas is laying off thousands of staff as it tries to survive the global pandemic the airline says it doesn't expect the nation's borders to open at least tourists for the coming year yes nicolas cage. right now qantas is meant to be celebrating its 100th anniversary instead it's dealing with the biggest crisis in its history the israeli international airline has fired 6000 staff and another 15000 workers will stay on leave for moments this crisis is still here it 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 had 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 international services and that will on against the 50 percent union groups have strongly criticized the cuts quantas officials hope to save $10000000000.00 over 3 years is a lot for medi restructuring and change the culture because it's a sea alliance or a 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 in d.h. and is happening while unemployment levels are rising because of the pandemic qantas's decision is

a signal that the pain from this global health crisis won't be over any time soon gauge al-jazeera camera david is a consulting editor flight and formerly of pilot he says airline bosses have to make tough decisions we are in a situation that the industry has never faced before it's a medical emergency and airlines 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 australia doesn't think it's going to open its borders 'd

nonessential travel is for a year and that cuts now the whole point is is international division and incidentally it looks as if they're opening up or very very soon will open up australia new zealand services so that you know that's something. lines like wants us to do but no the main factor here is the artificial closure of the borders for you know medical reasons to stop the spread of co bit the measure under which is being assisted is a temporary measure which is purely cove age related it's not a measure which would the e.u. would normally have allowed to stay with aviation pakistan international airlines has grounded a 3rd of its pilots $150.00 of them after an investigation found the cheated to get their licenses the inquiry found that out of

a total of $860.00 pilots in the country $262.00 had someone else sit their exams and another $82.00 were either under qualified or they forged to fit people who cheated were discovered after an investigation into a plane crash in may which killed $97.00 people the crash was caused by human error come on has more now from islamabad. in speech while you. are reading day of the national airline record one of the pride of the country did gain many our day. when we rode with the. one you're going to be in the region he has plagued the organization i just radiate he will drop me a job for coming in for an landing in game or over toward the runway out there we did when discovered dead to find you've had a few weird regain the same thing happening recently in dire straits did you mention and so do will be going to give in preventive measures don't really need to

be going on and you need your p.c. to ensure their safety and all the regulation for your and of god this is why even though it would be important to be ready the government does something or not because even in the box they've been several inquiry the no action and been taken your life now under government to see where did they will face this each. well the exact steps the stages it takes to become a commercial pilot vary from country to country but all pilot should meet criteria as agreed by the international civil aviation organization a private pilot's license is needed 1st that requires completing a course with around 40 hours of flight time they then need to pass a number of theoretical and medical exams before they can start a commercial pilot's license course that course typically means logging 100 small flying hours pilots also needs an instrument rating and multi engine rating and

sometimes a bachelor's degree to be eligible to fly for the top airlines all of this takes a significant amount of time and money as much as $80000.00 u.s. dollars let's bring in david kelly from edinburgh he's an accident investigator with aviation safety consultants david good to talk to you again would you fly with p.-i a today. it would certainly cause me to have distinct worries as to whether i should fly with them or not however in my industry then when i'm getting the call to go to an accident site then i go because the risk is relatively low in comparison with all the other risks so on balance the answer would be yes as we know that corrective actions are being taken at the moment i'm i going too far if i say given the numbers that we're talking about here $260.00 plus p.-i a pilot's somebody high up must have had an idea that something like this was going on. it would certainly be reasonable to assume. in many cases

a corrupt pilot's license is that i've seen that as being institutional corruption as well as just an individual official taking bribes or not doing their job properly and checking the background of these pilots and also you know when it comes to adjudicating exam results if somebody say gets a b. plus but jury in the teaching process they're clearly a c. minus or a d. plus why was there not a connection between what their instructors were presumably fitting back to the company and what the company was how the company was reacting when it was looking at oh we've got all these guys who are getting good grades and that they are now officially pilots. it's a question of a disconnect in the system that when you turn up with your $8200000.00 a flight school that may not really be related to the airline you go to train with . a flight schools to get a result than the very much expectation that if you handed over under

a $1000.00 then you will get a license at the end of it and there may be no questioning and no feedback between the training schools and the regulator issues the license and then you go on from there with your commercial license to train for something like your airports rating or going rate ching somewhere else and there's just several disconnections within the system that usually takes the investigators go back through everything with a fine tooth comb later on to find out under the strictures of aviation law or national domestic law should there now be a criminal case leveled at these individuals in as much as we're calling them pilots they weren't pilots there was much of a pilot as i am and i'm not a pilot so occurs to me that there's something that they could be charged with perhaps under international aviation law when it comes to in danger in life by default almost because if you're the guy saying oh i can fly that airbus a 351 hello no you're not because you haven't got the right qualifications. indeed

the way that international civil aviation organization works is it produces a series of rules which are then implemented nationally by the individual countries known as contracting states so it would be up to the contracting state in this case are starting to use its own internal domestic legislation to find these pilots for having fake off occasions academic or practical flying off actions is it possible david to estimate for us the reputational damage to this particular carrier given that coronaviruses kind of filleted the aviation industry anyway. i think to some extent it will actually benefit from that but the news media are looking elsewhere much of the time and many airlines are contracting by 30 to 50 percent at least for the next 2 to 3 years we have an estimated 30 percent of pilots in pakistan across the 3 major commercial airlines. i'm sure it's

a flaw in terms that basic licenses at the moment so the potential is that the airline could carry on almost unaffected with its coded recovery plans without actually taking great notice of every alternate flight between pakistan and the rest of the world being counseled so there will be some reputational damage but i'm sure the system once people have confidence that it will be fought not if it's just see if they pardon me for interrupting you there david thank you so much for coming on david leave there in edinburgh plenty more ahead here on the news hour including. back on the streets of lebanon protesters are fed up and demanding government tackle the economic crisis. financial pressure caused by the pandemic pushes tens of thousands of migrants out of the bangladeshi capital. and in the sports with far of the resumption of top level golf in the united states hits big problems has that story in about 30 minutes.

sudan has written to the united nations security council about its concerns surrounding ethiopia filling a reservoir on the blue nile before an agreement has been made let's go straight to heaven morgan our correspondent in khartoum hippa hi there welcome back to the news our what's in the letter. well sudan has sent a letter to the un security council over a mind saying that it does not accept if you'd be unilaterally filling the ground if you can run as their own stammers of war without reaching a deal now this is not the 1st letter of the 1st letter was sent this month due to the same issue because there was no deal between sudan and egypt but a lot has happened since that 1st letter was sent and this letter we've seen ministers from the 3 countries meeting virtually to try to iron out their

differences we've seen them trying to make a deal so that if european starts filling in stem with a deal in which all 3 sides say is necessary but we've also seen things go back to where they were when when the talks started that is no deal between the 3 sides and if you're saying it will fail it's them and early july so sudan has repeatedly stated that it's going to try to bring the 3 sides it's taken the file from the from the hands of the ministers of the 3 countries to the prime ministers of the 3 countries to try to resolve the outstanding issues now they say all the technical issues have been resolved issues such as how long it should take to fill the dam how much water should be released but what is left is the legal issues and that is the crucial part because if the legal issues are not sorted there is no binding agreements or anything that they have agreed including the technical issues is not binding if it doesn't have to commit to it and that is a concern that is coming from sudan and egypt and sudan has also stated that it's concerned about the safety of their series them that's

a dam in blue nile state the 1st them that is in the sudanese territory from on the blue nile and it's about 100 kilometers away from the ground if you pronounce them so lots of concerns about what will happen to that dam and sudan is trying to make sure that a deal is reached and that talks resume but at the moment it looks like the 3 sides are all adamant egypt has moved it to the un security council as well and if it has said it's unfortunate it's feels unfortunate that things have moved to the to this level but it's adamant that it will fail it's damn starting early july. do you get the feeling that the goodwill on both sides to get this sorted. while all sides have said that for for a deal to be reached there has to be political will and it doesn't seem to be it doesn't seem that all sides have equal will if he if he has been saying that it does want to continue negotiations it wants to reach a deal but it's also saying that egypt wants to take over wants to bring back and all the agreement over the nile share that goes back to the $960.00 s.

and that is unacceptable that it doesn't get if you're here and the fuse of its share of the nile waters so it looks like there are concerns there is historic tensions that are involved in this issue and it looks like the political will is not equally shared between the 3 sides now the prime minister of sudan of the lamb doc has initiated the latest round of talks and now people are hoping that they will be able to come back together based on the draft proposal that was presented by the prime minister but at the moment it looks like the political will between 3 sides are not equally shared and that is why they cannot come back together to the negotiating table to resume talks ahead of the filling of the dam ok thanks very much morgan our correspondent there reporting live from khartoum lebanon's president is warning there is an atmosphere of civil war in the country michel aoun was addressing a national dialogue conference on the long winding economic crisis but the opposition boycotted the meeting people in lebanon have been protesting since wednesday nights they say they're fed up with rising unemployment widespread

poverty and sectarian tensions lebanon's economy has lost more than 70 percent of its value since october the coronavirus could $1000.00 measures are worsening the situation so in order has more now from beirut. president called for the so-called national gathering he invited former prime ministers former presidents the heads of the different political parties and he wanted really to reduce the sectarian and political tensions as well as and the political impasse but the opposition 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 do not want the ruling alliance and they don't want the opposition either because both these

groups governed 11 on for decades and they run the economy into the ground they're blaming them for corruption or waste in the public sector and that is why the economy is so dire and this protest that particular is about the detention of activists there accusing the authorities of silencing dissent because since friday they've taken in the authorities have taken in at least $25.00 activists for questioning simply for posting on social media a criticism against an official. russians are heading to the polls in a week long vote that is expected to pave the way for the president vladimir putin to remain in charge until 2036 the referendum will be the nation's biggest constitutional overhaul since the end of the soviet union and there are reports of pressure being put on employees of the states. during the day in a dish to work for a russian state funded institution to have free time is now spent protesting

against the state's latest attempt to preserve putin's power for another 2 terms with opposition demonstrations band stickers the only way to voice their anger at being told by her employers exactly where and when to vote. that the i think it wasn't our management's initiative they received the orders from above and it must have been done to make sure people don't participate in exit polls and there are no election observers to make sure no one could observe the voting and to make it more difficult on cover regularities she is up against a vost machine the kremlin launched a widespread advertising campaign appealing to pensioners parents and patriots the $200.00 amendments to the constitution include promises on pensions health care and the minimum wage as well as allowing the current president to seek reelection after his final term ends in 2024 and guaranteeing immunity to former presidents but a yes or no vote on the entire package is the only option available. andre keesha

was part of the working group brought together by president putin to draft the proposed reforms review east moves to the lawyers and meet that the current president has already been elected to the higher state post several times there is no reset the wrist just a special provision in the text of the constitution that allows the current president to run for the next presidential election this provision largely guarantees that the state's policy will not be radically changed after 2024 but the vote is largely symbolic the changes have already been passed by russia's parliament still critics say putin wants the people to give his plan the veneer of a ditch in the sea put in wants to be supported by people as addictive through this is typical situation for any kind of different dictatorships such a direct direct line direct connection between the autocrat and the people simply personal source social logical paul there are fears the nationwide vote

could increase the spread of coronavirus in a country that is still recording over $7000.00 new infections a day a ban on public events led to the arrest of hundreds of protesters even one person with a placard is considered a contravention but the ban does not apply to any event organized by the kremlin that the need for urgency on this vote is unclear charly angela there an advisor to the european union's top court says hungary is breaking the law by it sending back illegal migrants and denying them asylum procedures the european commission had sued hungry last year accusing it of unlawful detention of migrants the non-binding opinion follows a separate ruling last month of forced hungary to close its transit zone where migrants were held hungary's prime minister viktor orban has been odds with most e.u. leaders over his anti refugee and anti immigrant policies. new coronavirus cases in

the u.s. have risen to the highest level in 2 months there are nearly 2 and a half 1000000 infections and 121000 deaths researches at the university of washington are predicting that nearly 180000 people could die by october but half of the 50 states are still seeing a surge of cases arising in the states seen here in dark orange going down in the great the states shaded light orange stable experts say large parts of the country are on the verge of becoming overwhelmed. well as the u.s. state of florida emerges from its vajra shutdown is experiencing an alarming surge of covert 19 case you see is and a gallon. some call this a reckless reopening others a much needed reboot of the economy florida's now shouted it own record with over 5000 new code 1000 cases reported in a single day state officials say increased testing is partly responsible for the

alarming surge in a state where over 3000 people have lost their lives since reopening florida's seen younger people infected increased hospital admissions and less social distancing all of which doctors say shows a dangerous trend it's truly an increase in the percent of people who are becoming. fires and that serious and it will infect anybody any age any belief system any political. viewpoint whatever the virus doesn't care about any of that they simply want to get a one. republican governor on dissenters has issued orders on social distancing and reducing occupancy at newly opened businesses but has refused to mandate the use of masks i think we just got to trust people that you know given the opportunity to do to do the good things i take it make good decisions i think that that tends to work better then to mandate this mandate that here in miami dade county officials are

taking a different approach now requiring masks to be worn in public at all times they say those rules are 0 tolerance the message here then is one of enforcement and not guidance although there's no talk of a 2nd shutdown other critics accuse the governor of manipulating data to make the case for reopening florida's economy one former employees now built her own coronavirus website after being fired by the florida department of health she says she was no longer willing to massage the data the state says she didn't listen to his superiors i don't need to be the person who manually. on an unchanged day to just say hey this is the most trusted resource for information in this state and it says that it's because it did. so now i do it again officials say younger people getting the virus means shorter hospital stays but in a state with a large elderly population florida is facing

events to remember those killed 70 years ago and the veterans who have died since have a particular poignancy this anniversary. the war began on the 25th of june 1950 with a surprise attack by troops across the border that separated north and south korea . around noon people started flooding into town carrying kids on their backs telling us the north had invaded in artillery shells began falling down town in order to get. some of these veterans were still at high school at the time but were quickly recruited into the army as the south real from the attack. they showed us how to shoot a rifle a few times and then send a separate hill to go into battle we spend the next 3 months in the trenches. the war lasted 3 years with millions of chinese troops supporting the north and a multinational un force led by the us supporting the south. to this day there's

been no formal end to the war only an armistice in spite of attempts to secure one most recently during improved into korean relations. peace is a right that we korean citizens deserve to relish making a peaceful korean peninsula with no chance of yet another war is a duty bestowed by the people upon the state estimates vary but as many as 3000000 people are thought to have died in the korean war around half of them civilians that's a disproportionately heavy toll that means the war's legacy is still felt just as keenly 7 decades on in both careers north and south surviving veterans in the south complained of insufficient pensions and many feel abandoned by the country they helped save. it was our sweat and sacrifice that led to victory

and to the remarkable development of our country. is more time has passed it's become a forgotten war the appreciation for those who fought and more injured has faded a lot and with each year there are fewer to remember 1st hand what happened as their generation fades robert bride al-jazeera soul. of course in jerusalem has denied a request by a greek orthodox church to block the transfer of its property the court ruled that israeli jewish settler group corning had a valid contract to buy the property it brings to an end a 16 year long legal battle that challenge the sale of property. in the old city area of occupied east jerusalem. amnesty international is condemning trip advisor featuring listings in illegal israeli settlements built on occupied palestinian lands the rights group calls the practice shameful and says promoting attractions on occupied lands means profiting from war crimes and searching trip advisor to

a drug suspect had used this address but by that time they'd already located him. inside they found no drugs just briana's body. now across the street from city hall where liberals leaders can only see them is a permanent protest in brianna's name just to know ari knew she would do something great in. other this isn't the way i would have wanted it to be still way away and it. in the in will definitely still be helping people so definitely sustained in a war change can come at an unimaginable cost a cost briana taylor's mother says no one else should ever have to pay john hendren al-jazeera louisville kentucky union leader is renaming its line of skin whitening

creams because of a growing backlash the fair unlovely product line well they've been criticized for promoting negative connotations of darker skin the consumer giants branch in india says is dropping the word fair but it's not abandoning the line completely cosmetic companies have been increasingly criticized in the wake of the black lives matter movement. the fair and lovely line is heavily marketed in south asia and that's where most of its business comes from last year the brand made around $500000000.00 in sales in india alone which makes up nearly half of its global business some skin whitening creams have been flagged containing dangerous levels of chemicals prompting countries to pull the products off the shelves in january norway banned to fair and lovely products after discovering toxic methyl mercury and hydro when in into stand unilever disputes the findings suggesting those products were actually faked let's bring in me here a suit out of new delhi she's a lawyer and a women's rights advocate sued welcome to the news hour here on al-jazeera is the

real central problem here the packaging or the product because the product also speaks to something that i guess women are being told they should desire. to be honest i think both of them are a problem independent of each other yes in many ways the product is is a problem and the fact that these but that cyst on the back to it certain guidelines of discrimination in society but the marketing and the branding of the product. can perhaps even be said to have a larger impact on how the anisim darkness of skin up a seat in society and that's a large source of the discrimination do oh so it's not as if it's not as if the packaging or bill promotion of the product is irrelevant but i think a lot of it depends not just on even we even if you are addressing just the promotion alone. just drop changing the name isn't going to help it doesn't for

instance make a difference that you change the name oh if you are still going to know your advertisement are still going to gust on a light skin models or you know the narrative is still going to be that like those skills people are considerable due to put you know so even in terms of changing just the promotion in branding it has to do much more than changing the name ok now this is yes just for interrupting i mean this is not just like. uncle ben's this isn't just racism that would be bad enough this is also sexism and it's making a judgment on women i guess and is telling women to judge themselves in a particular way but that kind of racism or sexism it has existed this product with its racist and sexist overtones has existed and survived in plain sight so just by rebranding it does that get rid of the problem or would it be

better if the holding company the big company that runs this this line actually got rid of the product completely. of course they should get rid of the product completely but my point is that they should go one step further in terms of their brain branding and change their entire advertising strategy need to cost for instance duck the skin warnings to advertise their products and they should really take one productive stance in promoting the idea that. a variety of skin tones are all equally you know attractive and. most skin whitening creams don't actually change the color of your skin so why are people so where deeds to using this stuff so they do i mean from from from my research and what i understand with my limited

scientific knowledge of this they look to about maybe up to 20 percent in terms of reversing timing and things like that but they're not nearly going to drastically alter your skin tone out less think and didn't lead charlot extremely dangerous mediums which is a ward of the topic and of course those products have been bundled together. so that's why i said that's part of why i said that more than the product in many ways the way the narrative is constructed around the product. is that what has a greater impact on society ok we'll leave it there may hear sued in new delhi thank you very much the world meteorological organization is investigating rising temperatures in the arctic and the siberian ton of screw court is a high of 38 degrees celsius the heat wave in the region has now been linked to wildfires an oil spill and a surge in the number of insects in charlotte but us. this is for koreans
