this is news live from. for euro zone's flocking economy of the european central bank on sales of freshness packaged interest rates because even further in the bond buying program gets back to what it has the desired effect also on the program. is 53 germany and china over a hong kong democracy activists visit to palin s complaints facial summons think that german ambassador after a meeting between joshua wong on germany's foreign ministry in. china accuses
5:01 pm
germany of meddling and it's a fact. that the killer diseases that offer offense both the world health organization sounds like a lot of what you climbing fascination. i'm phil gayle welcome to the program. the european central bank has a veiled a new stimulus plan i am to boosting the eurozone economy the measures. drug is another cut in interest rates are pushing borrowing costs further into negative territory and this is part of efforts to bring inflation down to just under the e.c.b. stung to 2 percent here is money or drugs rather downbeat assessments of the euro zone's economic prospects the outlook for real g.d.p. growth has been revised down for 200102020
5:02 pm
the risks of rounding the year oyur growth outlook remain to the downside. these recent mainly pertain to the prolonged presence of uncertainties related to geopolitical factors the rising threat of protection is an vulnerabilities in emerging markets so the banks get a hit why should we care well let's ask stefan schneider chief international economist and head of macro trends that the dacha bank research welcome to day doubly so how will cutting bank deposit rates to minus 0.5 percent affect may affect consumers in the euro zone. that's very hard to say it will affect banks in the northern countries actually negatively but there for the e.c.b. has also started a kind of tearing which bit except part of the excesses for serves from the
5:03 pm
negative deposit rate so overall the impact should not be that large and i think that could be said about the whole package that for the consumer ultimately and for the economy as a whole the impact will be rather limited especially because as mr draghi just pointed out the uncertainty is coming from geopolitical issues from trade uncertainties from protectionism and there actually a marginal adjustment in monetary policy stance cannot do that much ok so you don't see this as a major shift this is this is just tinkering around the edges it's a major shift if you look at all the kind of elements which are included but we have seen in the in the monetary policy the discussion about the reversal rate how low can actually negative to positive trade fall before they effect become negative and in the q. and a today there was quite some talk about. the impact of the negative rates on the banks by now bigger than any positive impact coming from
5:04 pm
a capital gains they might have and so we are really seeing that the e.c.b. is at least in the current framework reaching the limits of what it can do despite the fact that mr draghi said ok there's lot of headroom and of course i mean they could buy all sorts of assets but i mean in the current environment i think they have pushed it pretty much of the limit yeah let's pick up on that because i said in the introduction that this was a fresh stimulus package but cutting interest rates even further and reintroducing quantity of easing that sounds like the old package but more so all these economic tools actually up to the job. so the question is what is the job and i think here is the key question mr druggists concern and the e.c.v. about inflation expectations about the pick up the hope for a pick up in core inflation which is not taking place and so they are basically fighting and fighting against that one but there might be other issues behind their
5:05 pm
kind of pretty much stagnant core inflation and one could even as a devil's advocate ask the e.c.b. hey what's the problem core inflation has been at around one percent for the last 5 years and markets have basically now go down to that so why do you have to fight it with all means to get it up to close to want us to 2 percent good talking to thanks for joining us there stefan schneider from the torture bank at d. b. research you want to take a look at out some of the other stories making news around the world's russian investigators have raided the homes and offices of opposition supporters linked to kremlin critic and that's in the valley the race took place in nearly 40 cities across the country with computers and other equipment confiscated it comes just days after allies of president vladimir putin suffered major losses in moscow city elections. southeastern spain has been battered by severe brain and flash flooding in the financial region drenching rain caused the cloudy on

university just one packed tight 3 here to his message was one have to finance and a strong belief in the power of the protest movement in his home city no matter youngster or elderly all we stand as one with our determination to fight for a better future. joshua won't find many supporters in the german capital. i think he'd be that good if you like he didn't like to hear all is that he just here is fair on this about it that he is the facilitator. he's very impressive very brave and he's still very young. and find him particularly admirable because he's risking his life and freedom with his activism activism will still skillz josh i'm person. i think it's a huge motivation for people who are brought to come closer to. so be motivated and follow closely to what is happening in our home city. many here tell
5:09 pm
us they're concerned about joshua and what will happen to him when he returns to hong kong but 1st he's heading for the united states where he hopes to gain more support for hong kong's pro-democracy movement. well it's a day for mr commented on the situation in the chinese territory. our fundamental position on china's one country 2 systems policy remains unchanged and we support the rights that hong kong enjoys within the scope of this chinese policy we have always spoken in favor of those who are demonstrating in hong kong to be able to express their opinions on the streets. when the chancellor is in beijing she meets human rights lawyers and doctors have asked when i'm in do i do the same and when i'm in berlin this is not going to change. and it's only to this mission. has been one of the biggest successes of public health so
5:10 pm
i think an estimated 2 and a half 1000000 lives every year but vaccination rates declining leading to outbreaks of preventable diseases around the world it's a problem that will be addressed today by the global vaccination summit in brussels . not too long ago laughter filled this fisherman's family home in madagascar. but now the family is trying to cope with their grief they lost 3 children in january due to a measles infection they couldn't afford to vaccinate them. they had corn and it was all goes we'll but we didn't expect that they might die if they didn't get vaccinated that the fact that they were not vaccinated would kill them. madagascar is struggling to contain its worst outbreak of measles in decades amid a desperate shortage of vaccines. the highly contagious illness increases
5:11 pm
susceptibility to other diseases and can cause blindness brain swelling and death so far over 1200 people have died in the epidemic most of them children. and madagascar is not alone worldwide many countries are reporting an unprecedented rise of measles many of these cases could have been easily prevented with vaccination but like madagascar are some countries simply don't have access to the vaccines they need. and in high income countries where they are available some people opt to not vaccinate themselves and their children. they wrongly believe that vaccines are harmful there are absolutely families communities people who are subject to misinformation they have the wrong information about not only the disease severity and the risks of disease
5:12 pm
they don't understand the truth of the matter but they also have misinformation about the effectiveness of vaccines and the safety effect since and we do see misinformation as an increasing threat. the so-called anti vax movement fears that vaccines are unsafe ineffective and produce serious side effects saying that they can even cause autism scientists say there is no evidence for any of that. yet the misinformation is gaining momentum on social media now health professionals and governments are looking for solutions including making vaccinations mandatory and imposing fines on parents who refuse in madagascar are over 7000000 children have been vaccinated in an emergency response parents here are happy that vaccinations are available again. many know what losing
5:13 pm
a child to measles feels like and hope they never have to endure such grief ever again. joining us from brussels is the chief of health for the united nations the children's fund dr stephan shaw think patterson while come to day w. what do you stand on the idea of mandatory vaccination. unicef as a whole has actually considered taking. a measured stance that mandatory vaccination might actually be to the detriment of the individual child who made later be refused to enter school etc and may under certain conditions actually be ineffective so overall we think that countries need to think very carefully before they make a immunization mandatory ok and where is this decline in vaccination rates most pronounced. i think overall in the world we had 86 percent coverage and been stuck around there around 86 percent for a number of years then we have individual countries and you draw attention to
5:14 pm
measles here even a country like britain has now lost its measles free state there's and then we have 20000000 globally in the world who are unvaccinated all together and those are 423 big groups it's actually the rural poor it's the urban poor and it's the people who are displaced and the laughter number of course is a growing number unfortunately in the world and many fragile things account for about half of the 20000000 of unvaccinated children. i can see how if you were being displaced that's going to be a problem because as to 2 vaccinations. i think ready it's also about having access to health services that you feel are very accessible both socially financially and you know graphically and that you have a health worker with whom you can discuss whatever has the patient or other you may feel so i think 1st and foremost the onus falls back on us as providers to make
5:15 pm
sure that the health services we provide whether they are importer rich countries are accessible in all their forms and you have access to health workers who can actually discuss with you so that's our homework and we can then through that actually vaccinate parents if you will we trust in the health system to make sure that they don't fall for false rumors to stephanie patterson from unicef thank you so much for joining us thank you. now ever since the peak of europe's migration crisis in 2015 d.w. has reported on the dangers facing migrants as they attempt to escape their home countries and on the treacherous sea crossing to europe so that we bring you the story of one woman who boarded the boat near tripoli in her home country libya after nearly drowning off the libyan coast she and her young son made it to mulder's mate puerto vallarta now they're in germany adapting to the challenges of

5:20 pm
. it's always useful to have a human face to a news stories so. miss renie is one of the people who have been so many of the boats that we report on here a d w stuck out in the sea finally gets to gets to try and build a home. specific situation that of domestic abuse bad enough but the general situation in libya is also precarious tell us about. the situation in libya is literally hell on earth people of not been there find it hard to imagine what's even even happening there i mean german foreign ministry has described libya as the camps in libya where migrants live as concentration camp alike and that means quite something the people are in slave people face torture people face rape women have lost their babies because they're being punched in their stomach the families they're being called to extort money from people so for instance you get
5:21 pm
a call and you say we'll cut off a limb but your son if you don't give us $1000.00 by the end of the week and this is what we're seeing in libya and this is inside commerce but the guards recognize that are set up by the libyan government short i mean there are different kinds of camps and some even by humanitarian organizations but there are very unsanitary conditions in all of them there's no access to food their official and official camps but the conditions are just a par and all of them so they will be looking listening to you talking so i guess this is terrible but the e.u. has given libya hundreds of millions of euros to try and reduce irregular by gratian to set up camps are going to like this but presumably the theory was that the camps would be a lot better than this. the number of migrants making across the european or even attempting the journey is decreasing. as far as you're concerned it is not millions
5:22 pm
of euros therefore well spent and not at all. i mean this is your this is actually spending the money mostly on militarizing it's borders and we've always had migration humans have always migrated and will always migrate yeah but in terms of libya the money that was that was given to libya was to establish these camps and so on for them to act as a sort of redistribution point for byron's leaving of immigrants trying to leave but that is actually not working because the conditions as i've just described them they're just terrible and people are getting stuck in these camps and the only way they have is to trust the ocean as she has attempted several times and that is the deathly journey as we know about every 21st and actually does not make it across that across the mediterranean that still that athletes border border in the world silence are restored thank you for joining us on new hope stead of from the saybrook association thank you. now to the story of iranian judo
5:23 pm
