should being evacuated says to emergency shelters as one of the fiercest storms of decades makes landfall cycle and i'm from his packing dangerous hurricane force winds and authorities say it could trigger a potentially devastating storm surge along the low lying coast authorities are also worried about the spread of the coronavirus outside lone shelters where they say social distancing is impossible assent to our correspondent in iraq chantry in the daily mirror we've heard the storm is making landfall as we speak what are you hearing from the bay of bengal where the storm has now apparently made landfall well yet the landfall of this cycling has begun the already fading regime lose all heavy rainfall and really strong winds lashing in balsall west they want to know he saw according to all of you a cloud over 500000 people have been already evacuated they have been taken to the sea the show does involve these many more people have been evacuated over to meet
2:03 pm
in the quoting from the reports so at the moment according to the only to be logical officials this cycle and may go on for a few more and even though it has just made landfall in the coming few was there's a possibility of seeing reports also casualties as well. put this into perspective for us how big is this storm. it's quite serious actually the authorities are saying that for many hours the power and the communication lines will be affected in these 2 states for east and west bengal and the last cycle of such intensity to hit either of the 2 countries in the end bangladesh was actually happened in 1909 when a large huge cycle struck the stage where between somewhere between 10215000 people lost their lives at the authorities are still saying that this cycle can actually take up the speed of somewhere between 185 to 190 kilometers per hour this kind of speed can actually have devastating effects and they're also predicting that it can take a surge of about 5 need to which means many know lying areas can be inundated with
2:04 pm
this storm hits very difficult times as the coronavirus pandemic and this recent shutdowns complicated evacuation plans it is going to be a big challenge because as you know in any evacuation mission it's almost impossible to maintain these physical distance and norms that the countries have been trying to follow to contain the spread of corn and iris according to the visuals we have seen it's very difficult to maintain such norms especially when you know hundreds and thousands of people will be put together in these shelters and it's not only about today and about the past 48 hours when the evacuation will happen and even in the coming few weeks when we'll see the aftereffects of the cycle when people really need medical need we'll see these challenges coming up again and even the hospitals we don't know whether the hospitals will find it up to their capacity to deal with the victims or known as well as the possible patients of coral numbers. thank you very much. the world has
2:05 pm
cut its daily carbon dioxide emissions by 17 percent at the peak of the pandemic shutdown last month that's according to a new study lockdowns kept people at home and in cities around the globe roads were virtually empty the skies clearer than they've been in many years for a week in april the united states cut its carbon dioxide levels by a full 3rd the study was published in the journal nature climate change the world's biggest emitter china cut its carbon pollution by about a quarter. well that's very unclear in the literary she's a co-author of the study and professor of climate change science at the university of east and she joins us now from norwich in the u.k. current what is the biggest single factor in this massive drop in c o 2 emissions but if you find it thanks thanks it's no road transport essentially people are not using their cars because people are confined at home so that's the
2:06 pm
single malts driver of that drop what about an traffic air traffic was very very impacted by the country and meant that overall in a normal year it only accounts for 3 percent of the global emissions so even a big change in air traffic just led to a 10 percent. decrease if i counted only 10 percent of the total so it's really mostly our road transport a little bit industry and then air traffic at the end so is this what it takes what we have to get used to serious climate lockdowns prolonged much longer than we're seeing right now corona start to combat global warming. now now i mean this is not the way to combat global warming i mean it does show that when policies are put in place the emissions can drop but does drop is not going to last because it's not desirable because it's forced what we need in fact is investment in
2:07 pm
infrastructure so that we change the way that we move around to go all electric and rich change also the industry and that way we heat our homes so we need much more structural change is that a company behavior change so not behavior change at all and that won't work but you you mentioned behavioral saves that means some behavioral change is necessary and i'm not necessarily talking about lock downs but people voluntarily. dropping their cars not going on holidays and all of them. yeah that's right so but that behavioral change has to be positive has to increase the wellbeing of people it has to be accompanied so for example the way we go back to work now is very important so those who can go back by cycling and walking that governments have to put in place that will save psyching have to make it possible for people to do that and where it's not possible then also governments need
2:08 pm
a plan to change from petrol and diesel cars to electric cars everywhere so it's about accompanying behavior change to be positive for the people rather than starting with negative behavior change. it's all about behavior change if you look at the winning acceptance of coronavirus measures that has been of been in place for only 2 months you think people will be willing to accept that in the change their behavior. only if it's a company then it's positive for them then yes if there is a real benefit there is a long term benefit of course in tackling climate change but there has to also be immediate benefits for the people and they are in tackling air pollution for example that immediately is felt positive and cycling and walking has pulled that if for the people and actually calls our nest noisy and petrol and diesel cars so there is a lot of positive changes that can accompany behavior change of course at the end
2:09 pm
of the day the people also have to go along with the changes that are offered to make it more impact on on package on a change kareena grade she's the co-author of the study and a professor of climate change science at the university of used anglia thank you thank you oh environmentalist here in germany a warning of another looming disaster if no action is taken bees are heading toward extinction the insects are crucial pollinators and that when the number is putting pressure on the world's food systems but the bees backers in germany up against grinding government bureaucracy and resistance from farms. this is where i'm not lean and captain rule 2 of 10 queen bees here at the german parliament named after the 2 most important women in gemini's green party. daniel host stan started here 5 years ago with one colony now half a 1000000 bees
2:10 pm
a buzzing in the parliament garden. but he says of us to. have become the symbol for all the insects that we've been losing over the last few years is beings have it tough in agricultural environments because the number of trees is declining so there's less blossoms in fact bees in the city a much better off than those in the countryside. better argued this may look pretty but monoculture is kill bees and insects say these demonstrators outside the parliament building in berlin half the while the species in germany are threatened with extinction. make the feels buzz again say the protestors. a moment in the act offered along under the current rules the e.u. subsidizes large scale farming for quantity not quality and we want farmers to get money when they actually deliver service to nature and the environment and for chuffed at getting. the use green new deal plan sets and wishes goals for
2:11 pm
agriculture to become greener and more insect friendly but politicians sympathetic to farmers warn against simply reducing the use of pesticides. i believe we can invest a lot in research to develop alternative pesticides that have a smaller ecological footprint than those we have now. so where does that leave the bees the german government has a so-called action plan for the protection of insects but even the environment minister concedes that it's not enough. the state of nature here in germany is not satisfactory there are many areas where more needs to be done the situation is slightly improved with beach forests bird cities and forests but it's still dire when you look at the german. agricultural landscape. the consensus is
2:12 pm
that that more needs to be done to protect bees and other insects but consensus alone will not save them. time of a quick update on some of the coronavirus developments global confirmed cases are approaching 5000000 and the death toll is more than 223000 brazil has confirmed the record rise in daily deaths from the disease 1179 people died from the virus on tuesday alone south korea's high schools have reopened opened after being shut down for 2 months hundreds of thousands of older students have returned to the classroom under strict hygiene controls and britain's aerospace manufacturer rolls royce says it's cutting at least $9000.00 jobs 6 of its overall workforce because of the full in global trouble. german prosecutors have dropped charges of market manipulation against 2 top folks foreign executives embroiled in the diesel gate scandal that's

2:15 pm
it's certainly a blow to these turnaround plans 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 work through this restructuring plan but now they are facing difficulties the biggest problem for your bank in 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 front as more businesses do go bankrupt. just the european banking sector was already on shaky ground head of the pandemic how is it holding up right now. 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 a lot more problems with profitability so pretty much every major european bank was
2:16 pm
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 banks in the us is the outlook any better for them 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 people lose jobs in the united states and really credit fuel economy 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
2:17 pm
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 so u.s. banks are also really steeling for for trouble ahead just a delay me in frankfurt thank you. the voters are going to the polls in a crucial presidential election that could see the 1st across a transfer of power in decades the vote is taking place is fired fears of political violence and this. social distancing of hygiene being. stations government. organization next week criticism of its handling of the pandemic. since 2005 but surprised many by not seeking a 4th term is annoyed its successor ever recent is an army general considered as
