outside. the world cut its daily carbon dioxide emissions by 17 percent at the peak of the pandemic shut down last month a new study shows a huge reduction in global greenhouse gases lockdowns kept people at home in cities around the globe so roads were virtually empty and the skies clearer than they've been in many years are we can a probe united states cut its carbon dioxide levels by a full 3rd and the study was published in the journal nature climate change the world's biggest emitter china cut its carbon pollution by about a quarter. now one of these studies coal authors rob jackson of stanford university told us earlier about his hopes about how the crisis will change how we work and travel it's a hope i think one thing that the virus is allowing us to do is rethink mobility and transportation. you know cities are keeping streets closed to cars that they
12:08 pm
allow pedestrians and bicyclists to use we're all getting used to telecommuting and may want to continue that at least a few days a week and nobody misses spending time in rush hour and finally i guess that the biggest change we've seen is the beautiful blue skies that have come from from putting our cars on the street and garages and and and if we can have that every day by coupling electric vehicles with clean energy what's not to like we don't even have to shelter a home. well objects in the stanford university singapore prides itself as a high tech global business hub but the city state is currently one of his highest covert 19 infection rates still making plans to exit apostle lock down on june the 1st and they've turned to technology to contain possible for the outbreaks but some critics say the controversial approach has technical flaws and raises human rights issues. more. spot wants to keep you healthy

the robot enforcer dog is being trialled in a singapore park given the city state's tech friendly ways it's no wonder singapore was also among the 1st to introduce a tracing app. users of the app exchange data via bluetooth when their phones approach one another that's supposed to make tracing contact easier when someone is infected but so far only 27 percent of residents have downloaded the app some experts say the project is too ambitious. you need 60 percent or 80 percent of your population to download these apps even if they do work and so unfortunately this employee now hasn't come close to that a need to have anywhere else and so far they haven't come close to delivering what was hoped for them surveillance is part of daily life in singapore data privacy is of less concern than elsewhere still fear of state snooping is one reason some residents have rejected the even if they're reluctant to admit it and the
12:10 pm
technology is not perfect you know. and not know what i. did but they don't know how it is that. i'm like. i didn't need to do that. so for me personally i thing a. system. needed so you don't. 2 months after rolling out the singapore is trying a simpler technology called safe entry whether at the supermarket the barber shop or the work place people can come in only after scanning a q.r. code or their id card no exceptions. you could even use it in a public park if you wanted to get into this in a ball botanical gardens for instance you would have to log in and log out again just a group being that it's not as ingenious as the app in as much as it's not going to
12:11 pm
tell you who has been close to one another safe entry therefore cannot replace the app experts disagree whether the app should become mandatory. but i think it's about not wanting to. exclude the citizen. that the person living in singapore funded beauty to exfiltrate suffice some free will so despite appeals for unity there is little consensus in singapore over the tracing up. we are joined by professor longhair of singapore university of social sciences professor there are 2 different systems in place one being the safe entry system the other the tracing up do you think the q.r. code based app called safe entry will be more successful than the tracing up well the 7 tree scanning system if not every placement for trace the context i think

cassette entry is only useful in when you're entering the so small mobile area less than in a barber shop or restaurant but if you use a bench you to enter the palm and that thousands of people in the palm and the single point in time then the end of the contract facing become a humongous task because you have no idea who you are come close contact with so in that place sit and treat use not a useful tool both systems for president data to the government which one is safer with regard to citizens privacy and the type of data transmitted to governments well the get out do not send information to government face the gather all need gather information anonymous information about identity of foreigners do it in approximate the awful awful one and not from c.n.n. and me it's not someone who just bought you one second but someone who is close to
12:13 pm
you lesley or. 30 seconds and that 4 number off of the other phone we called on your phone and only when the person who holds the phone is identified and possibly test that as a patient that for your phone will be asked to be done with and the date that will be then the critic will find out who are the people who are in contact with you. it's not like the information is there and. the safe entry. is less accurate when it comes to knowing who got really close to one another how is that going to help keep the reproduction numbers below one well save entries as you may use force in a situation less in a restaurant or in a barbershop on you know in the service of our headdress though come place where you enter the place you know when you enter and know when you need and during that period of time there be no more than 5 or 6 plus the most in the shop so that it is
12:14 pm
the recent entry knocking system so that would be achieved very effective. professor we have a c.n.n. we've all seen the video on so on social media and we've been in our report as well all of the robot dog issuing commands to humans in public parks so robots and drone supervising citizens barking orders will have to get used to the last. no that you that's the only thing the dog crowd out and it is not exactly clear what they're going to do with doc but the situation would be like just in case people wonder all the wrong places and so on so i'm not clear that i'm a judge and a way of testing up that knowledge. effectiveness. and not whether you use what all at all and how many going to be right now and this one doc. ok. game from singapore thank you very much for joining us today

parents turn around plans. it's certainly a blow to the turnaround plan your bank had come into this year thinking quite optimistically they thought they were going to post their 1st annual profit after 5 years of really steep losses as they worked through this restructuring plan but now they are facing difficulties the biggest problem for georgia bank and all banks is really going to be bad loans so they've set aside about 500000000 euros to account for people not paying back mortgages people not paying back debt that they owe but they likely are to see more trouble ahead on that on that front as more businesses do go bankrupt. those are the european banking sector was already on shaky ground head of the pandemic how is it holding up. the european banking sector as you mentioned it had come into this year quite weak after the financial crisis a lot of european banks just got weaker and had
12:18 pm
a lot more problems with profitability so pretty much every major european bank was already in the midst of a major restructuring but now they are facing just like deutsche bank a lot of issues on the bad loan side of the economy so this is really going to vary based on which country you're looking at but a country like italy is likely to see a much more severe problem with with things like loans going bad so there is definitely going to be a bit of a shakeout in that sector. just what about the the banks in the u.s. is the outlook any better for them. it was definitely it was a bit of a different story for us banks they've only gotten stronger and seen a lot more consolidation over the past several years but now they are facing similar problems to the european banking sector and in the u.s. the economic contraction is likely to be even more severe so we've seen about $40000000.00 people lose jobs in the united states and really credit fuel economy
12:19 pm
like the united states that's going to mean a lot of people aren't paying back their credit card loans they're not paying back their mortgages and that's going to really hit banks hard a lot of banks in the u.s. have also given a lot of money to the oil sector so they're likely to see a lot of a lot of stress in that sector as well as the u.s. banks are also really steeling for for trouble ahead show me in frankfurt thank you . i watching d.w. news still to come a time capsule pops up in berlin and it's like groovy the sixty's are back and a new pop art exhibition. today marks one year since we're on the air selenski comedian actor became president of ukraine during a news conference held for the occasion zelinsky spoke about the situation in the region in eastern ukraine now controlled by russia he called for direct talks with president putin on the issue and said he plans to meet the partners in the so-called normandy for about russia germany and france as soon as the coronavirus
