to fight israeli. athletes. from hell welcome to the program the european central bank has unveiled a new stimulus plan and boosting the eurozone economy along the among the measures outlined by the e.c.b. president mario draghi wants another cut in interest rates pushing borrowing costs further into negative territory this is part of efforts to bring inflation down to just under the target of 10 percent interest mantra of his rather downbeat assessment of the euro zone's economic prospects the outlook for real g.d.p. growth has been revised down 420-010-2020. the wrist surrounding the euro area growth outlook remains to the downside

these risks mainly pertain to the pro long presence of uncertainties related to geo political factors the rising threat to protection is and vulnerabilities in emerging markets. because i'm very happy does he has married drug rob what's from d.w. business can explain what mr drug was talking about well rob what's the e.c.v. trying to do well this is the c b m r e a drug yes but it's sort of trying to go out with a bang with one of his final acts as the president of the european central bank and just get the european economy going because you had that assessment we just got in there it looks like the european economy is headed for a slowdown and we've had some figures today from jimmy that's just might already have entered recession so what we've got here are just a few measures that he describes as quite powerful just aimed at stimulating the

yours and economy so for example they've lowered the the key rate known as the deposit facility rate that's an interest rate from minus no point 4 to minus no point 5 so what that rate essentially means is that banks are going to have to pay to hold on to their money at the c.b. so the aim is that for to encourage them to start giving that ari to businesses and to individuals the other thing is that reintroduction of quantity of easing that phrase that trips up reporters all over the world also is often described as the printing of money and what's going to happen is that the e.c.b. is going to stop borrowing 20000000000 euros every month just put more money in circulation in the hope that starts to fall into the hands of businesses and people through investment and they want us therefore to spend i mean if we spend this will boost the economy will it work well i think if i say there's

a great deal of skepticism about whether or not this will work i mean we've already been in negative interest rates in the euro zone for a while now and it doesn't appear to have had the great effect of increasing investment. that mr jockey. did make what we can describe is. a veiled call a very thinly veiled call to the governments of the euro zone when he said fiscal policy needs to be the main tool there were last there was laughter in the room even there isn't i like particularly amusing phrasing the u.c.b. isn't normally about a blast when he said that because it was just a thinly veiled appeal to the likes of germany countries that have got the reserves of money to get spending the e.c.v. feels like it's done enough and it's time for governments to start stimulating the economy themselves or just for and european institutions that go to the member

countries should be doing more. ordinary people who have money in a bank likely. how is this going to impact us well. the intentional this stimulus is for banks to start giving money out to people like you who got money in the bank and maybe he's got money that i'm going to us tomorrow who are obviously living within the euro zone whether or not these changes will actually trickle down. it remains to be seen but we can be skeptical about that because as i mentioned mario draghi himself seems skeptical that these are going to have the impact he hopes they are going to have if people within the euro zone i hoping that they're certainly going to see a change in the amount of interest that they're getting on that money that they have in their accounts or they can be disappointed i'm afraid because the main interest rate for the euro zone is going to remain at 0 so they're unlikely to start giving you a little boost the banks themselves ok i was hoping for better news from you're

going to have to thank you robots from doing their business. now take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world of beijing and some of the german ambassador to germany's foreign minister met with hong kong democracy activist joshua was in beijing accuses germany of meddling in its affairs in this war but a high profile meeting will damage bilateral relations mr wong world leaders to back the ongoing protests in the territory. dozens of people have been killed in a train derailment in the democratic republic of congo the dead are reported to be stowaways who were riding the freight train when it went off the tracks in the province of tanganyika the aussie has seen several deadly rail incidents in recent years blamed on old equipment. southeastern spain's been battered by severe of rain in flash floods and they valencia region trencher right course the cloudy on a visit to burst its banks flooding homes and forcing the evacuation of surrounding areas more extreme storms are expected in the coming hours. the new u.s.

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 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 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
