3:04 pm
field and nowhere b i've got approximately 6 projects and every year that the cycle on as cross. and there was a huge. like reading over there and the speed was. 135265 let me just up and there's a lot of damage because this stuff will not venture out but. you know it seems the damage is fake. it's bad enough to contend with a massive cyclon as it is but this one comes in the middle of a coronavirus pandemic and how far that's not how relief efforts. yes definitely this has this has put us into a. bigger challenge and lead to disaster at the same time and with this section in place and already on we are going to sponsor in the locations the challenge for us
3:05 pm
as as of now is the people who moved into all the us and as the social distancing is already a big challenge our priority over there would be how we can make sure that the risk of infection of. getting caught or not can be used in those shelters and that's where we have land to provide the perfect is as soon as it's possible for them and we did the ins for the community before the evacuation as we in up with and we have already prepared our communities from monday's entries of the position where we have prepared them for the disaster preparedness and frankly i think i'm going to just briefly interrupt you what do people need most right now beyond the immediate issue of shelter ok
3:06 pm
the immediate need would be definitely the food as of now as they are staying in the shelters and that's all as. they can they come back to the location the issue is definitely going to be dare it also consider both the might leave or heading back to their their belief in. god and they will definitely have the challenges of . them as of now. friends and jones with world vision in sand i thank you very much for talking to us thank you. the world 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 out home and cities around the globe so roads were virtually empty and this guy's clear of and they'd been gives a week in a probe states cut its carbon dioxide levels by
3:07 pm
a full 3rd the study was published in the journal nature climate change as the world's biggest emitter china cut its carbon pollution by obama by about a quarter. well that's very encouraging the look her age she's a co-author of the study and professor of climate change science at the university of east anglia 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 single most driver of that drop what about an traffic air traffic was very very impacted by the confinement but 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 it accounted only 10 percent of the total so it's
3:08 pm
really mostly road transport a little bit of 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 infrastructure so that we change the way that we move around to go all electric and we change also the industry and that way we heat our homes so we need much more structural changes that a company behavior change so not behavior change at all and that won't work but you you mentioned behavioral change that means some behavioral change is necessary and
3:09 pm
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 those safe psyching have to make it possible for people to do that and where it's not possible then also governments need 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. behavior change if you look at the winning acceptance of coronavirus measures that's been of been in place for only 2 months you think people will be willing to accept that in the james their behavior.
3:10 pm
i only if it's accompanied and 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 all in tackling air pollution for example that immediately is felt positive and cycling and walking has pull that if for the people and extra cars are less noisy than batu and these are all calls so there are not of positive changes that can accompany behavior change of course id end of the day the people also have to go alone with the changes that are offered to make him more impact on on packing time and change career literary she's the co-author of the study and a professor of climate change science at the university of east anglia thank you. thank you time now for

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 technology is not perfect you know. and not know what i. did with it do not. find something with nothing to do with the brains of your mobile phone. so for me personally i think. system. so you. 2 months after rolling out the singapore's trying a simpler technology called safe entry whether at the supermarket the barber shop or the workplace people can come in only after scanning a q.r. code or their id card no exceptions. you could even use it in
3:14 pm
a public park if you wanted to get into the. gardens for instance you would have to log in and log out again just to prove being that it's not as ingenious as the app in as much as it's not going to tell you who has been close to one another safe entry therefore cannot replace the up experts disagree whether the app should become mandatory. but i think it's not want to. exclude the citizen. that the person living in singapore funded ability to exhale exercise some free will so despite appeals for unity there is little consensus in singapore over the tracing up. time now for a quick look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world at least 11 people have been killed in 2 separate gun attacks in afghanistan in one

3:21 pm
optimistically if 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 deutsche 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 on that front as more businesses go bankrupt. joseph the european banking sector was already on shaky 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 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
3:22 pm
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 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 that they are facing similar problems to the european banking sector and in the u.s. that 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 their mortgages and that's going to really have 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
