say or think that nothing will perish and that what happened will go away without a trace is our workers saw a dead donkey today i myself saw a dead muskrat if a bird lands on fuel or if a muskrat swims in fuel it is definitively condemned to death. the spill took place after a power plant fuel tank collapsed near the city of nor it's a number of plants employees have already been detained now the local mayor has been accused of criminal negligence for failing to react to the impending disaster and to coordinate a response. who did us need when you'll see an investigation found that the mayor being aware of the amount of fuel that is spilled from the tank did not take proper measures to respond to the emergency and to eliminate its consequences. that may or may have to go to prison if found guilty investigators think the incident happened

because the company failed to carry out repairs some reports suggest equipment became unstable because permafrost in the area is melting. officials say the situation on the ground is beginning to stabilize but that a full cleanup will take years. joining us now from. me. at greenpeace russia welcome to how serious is the situation do we know the true scale of the damage. just how will this is the biggest ever orals eels are in the polar arctic both in russia and globally and it's damaged here doesn't she warm it does and lakes of russian arctic so it is that big damage comparable 'd with the. acts of all this accident aged 9 and in the scene school region in comedy public in $93.00 so it's one of the biggest and for the fuller

argued this is the biggest and. harmful for the vulnerable octopuses you have sent you over as ation greenpeace has sent a letter to russian authorities today talking about what they could do to prevent something like this from happening again. yes at the moment the core reason the main problem why this accident from time to tank happens in russia is that because the companies are not more to break it to invest properly i'm not one to break it to invest enough into the infrastructure especially if i share risky zones live there more frozen zone which is there where they didn't are due to the climate change or the kompany save huge money or for profit for 'd shareholders and this is their cost of of of what the eco system and greenpeace suggest that we require amendments for existing federal mushing russian legislation how to force

their own police to who to play full compensation in such an extent multiway can take a moment coming. ok i am only think told that it's going to take he is 16 up the mess that we're currently seeing and what can you tell us about the last thing impacts on the environment that this particular disaster will have. but you know this case we can as you christine us have it about years of impact in the in the future not so 1st of all this is the impact or river ecosystem for the fish living there are many good pounds car along with the beast them's the old eels went down towards the arctic ocean and was the concentration of this book seclusion for the fish so this is the question for same t.v. morning too or be very full of the company and the government will keep this morning touring and for sure greenpeace their morning tour of how moment morning to

all of this is. that is federally insured prof greenpeace fresh air talking to us from us they thank you very much. love tense essays in employees $22000.00 more people than on need it hinting at possible job cuts the german carrier has been badly affected by global travel bans and has just received a multi-billion dollar package from the german government to stay afloat and its have offered to take a 45 percent pay cut to protect jobs. just of cova business is with me now from on the story so chris more than 22000 jobs on the line you just put that number into perspective for us it would be one in 6 jobs at least tons of that would disappear and that in itself is a pretty grim picture on top of that these this figure as twice more than twice the number that looked on that initially said ok would would would need to need to x.

tons or wants to operate 100 planes less in post pandemic flight for that matter and their education experts that say it might take years for the whole sector to bounce back to prepare endemic levels if at all now there are some who say this $26000.00 jobs that could go that is sort of worst case scenario that looked on as a once to go into the negotiations with the unions which need to be finished in rather quickly in 2 weeks' time before moving on the shareholders right vote to accept the a package that we just thought ok so so we know that the pilots have to have a fit to take pay cuts 45 percent could we see crew members do the same thing it would add up to about $350000000.00 euros whatever the pilots agree to and contributing to this scenario now the salaries of cabin crew are much lower so the part that the cut that they could take would only be smaller debye contravening less to the whole to the whole deal nevertheless cabin crew are willing to do their

part as an equal as volleys the head of the cabin crew union you full said in an interview with g w earlier today. there are things like productivity lie. arch i'm working like a temporary leave willingly so these are things we could do become a range but of course people need a job government she off towards the kind of. on the one side and dismissals next year on the other side that's not possible and this will be hard negotiations. kristie the german government just recently through and 9000000000 euro lifeline cap housing is of these potential that's going to go down but lawmakers didn't go down didn't go down well with opposition parties for that matter they said you know this is what they have been fearing it was a mistake not to tie the money the 9000000000 euros to job guarantees so there's a chance last nevertheless the government says well even though times are real take

a stake even though the government will take a stake in the times i thought as a package it never wanted to interfere in management decisions even if they admittedly look as ugly as this one ok and useful long term prospects yes for fall of tense or other fear is that the company won't survive this crisis i think it also why the it won't go under 1st of all because the german government has a vested interest in keeping it afloat and keeping it alive. but it could be a rather long recovery process for lufthansa the main sticking point here is when will a long haul flights trance continental travel be possible and accepted by passengers again because these flights these connections those are the ones that move tons of strong in and those are the ones that bring in the revenue ok while he waits to see christoph thanks for the ass christof of our business desk that's after us. and now a brief look at some of the stories making headlines the death toll from the
