3:03 pm
a string of attacks in recent years demanding independence from pakistan for the resource rich baluchistan province the stock exchange is pakistan's largest located in a high security zone bomb disposal teams were called to clear the building of any remaining explosives. let's just bring you some more background on this for more i'm joined by my colleague shows of janani from. the attack has been claimed by benoit separatists what do you know about this so-called not just on liberation army. well this is the militant group which has been active in the province of baluchistan for many years now and they have targeted security forces they've also behind the chinese attack on the chinese consulate you mentioned 2 years ago in karachi they've also attacked a 5 star hotel in port of god or. china is building a huge infrastructure project and in the seaport so they are at all it is but the
3:04 pm
pakistani army the chinese development in baluchistan but the pakistani officials believe that they are backed by hostile foreign intelligence agencies and they've basically point a finger at india and the intelligence and agency role which has in the past been linked to extremist violence what is behind that well for many years going to achieve political violence it was also subjected to violence by al qaeda and taliban groups but in the last 3 to 4 years the situation has really improved. on the army and police have really gone after many of these islamist groups and separatist groups so this comes after you know after a long time and that is why there's a lot of worry that countries facing coronavirus it is economically sinking and so
3:05 pm
this attack is a source of worry but officials are saying they've managed to respond quickly and able to save lives and that is why it was wrapped up within like 4 hours because if you spoke of economic problems that pakistan is facing is this attack on the stock exchange likely to shake confidence in pakistan's financial help. well the investor confidence was already low in pakistan this is even before. endemic came along and made matters worse clearly this will have a psychological impact because pakistani stock exchange is seen as one of those a high risk high return exchanges in emerging markets so there's a psychological impact but i think you know in a country like pakistan just seems so much violence the government even says you know if you would actually we did well we've prepared and we've been able to stop
3:06 pm
you know more blood bought. and devoted to carry on august and economic problems. are already quite severe and this only make it a bit worse shape jelani from asia thank you very much an investigation by the associated press news agency has found that the chinese government is forcing ethnic minority women to undergo but control in a bid to reduce the muslim population if he says it has evidence that women in the far west region. have been subjected to sterilise or and even abortion to slush birthrates. 2 months in a detention camp yan have left gaza on the same rate. but even once she was released this month though wasn't free along with other we go women in her area she was forcibly sterilized. from the well known for part of our body

3:09 pm
reports is purely for all tyria motives and baseless i also want to emphasize that both ethnic minorities and han people need to act in accordance with the law. eva. many though see this investigation as yet more evidence that china is trying to cut its muslim and minority populations by any means necessary. dr user is president of the world congress and activist who had to flee persecution in china in the early ninety's is to use up welcome the chinese government calls these latest revelations beasts list. yes. these allegations of instance yet it is no it is actually a chinese daum it and it trundle and they even today also trying to lie because today so many evidence was happening so many evidence and the board will

3:13 pm
a time not business as usual so many german company continue has a business with china particularly in the region it's turkistan so this still stands germany has a long and also very bad experience from the history from the 2nd world war from the nazi regime china a german government promised old of ward promise never again but never again is happening again for that leader today so a german go in it should be broken to silence and to take concrete action and that china should be accountability talking to president of the world we can congress thank you very much i think you. are some of the other stories making the news at this former french prime minister francois ffion and his wife and then have been found guilty over a fake job scandal he was accused of paying his wife hundreds of thousands of euros for work she allegedly never did the scandal talk peter feels 2017 bid to become

3:15 pm
in the spend demick the total number of global cases of the virus has now surpassed $10000000.00 while the number of global deaths now exceeds 500000 the us brazil and britain ranked the highest in terms of fatalities and in the us the state of florida has reported a record daily increase of nearly 10000 new cases and 4 other states have also seen record spikes infections of particularly surging in regions that lifted lockdowns than other areas. they've been battling the coronavirus around the clock but us medical professionals are at their limits in the state of texas alone nearly 6000 new cases were confirmed in just one day despite the rising infections vice president my parents went to this baptist church and us to speak to hundreds in the congregation even though the total number of covert 1000 cases has surged about 2
3:16 pm
and a half 1000000 remains optimistic what the american people should know is that because of the leadership that president has provided because of the extraordinary innovation that we have brought to this task we are we're in a much better place to respond to these outbreaks than we were 4 months ago but criticism of the government's crisis management is growing louder in part due to images like these before donald trump's rally and his campaign ordered the removal of thousands of social distancing stickers from arena seats his rival joe biden said his response to the pandemic would have been very different i would go back to making sure that everybody had that you had people lined up we have been making sure we stockpile all the things that we need that we don't have now the one thing we do know these make a gigantic difference as usual president trump didn't wear
3:17 pm
a mask won't coughing over the weekend. you know or some other developments in the pandemic india has reported a new daily record of almost 20000 new 1000 infections some states are imposing a full of. china has dreamed both districts locked down near beijing effecting 400000 people after an increase in cases there and australia state of victoria is considering reinstating physical distance of destructions it comes off the country reported in speaking one day a rise in new code on obama's infections in over 2 months. germany's 1st base go to. open today in frankfurt germany but tech company center gene is from the center. and not from port of entry and have to be paid for by the travelers themselves the company behind the center has called it a blueprint for air travel returning to a new normal. a correspondent job to frankfurt airport.
3:18 pm
this is the 1st airport testing centers in germany i would secondly it function. will be a pretty simple you walk and you find out that and you get a test and depending on how much you're willing to pay you should get that their results with 2 to 8 hours so that's obviously a very different amount of time and it requires a very different level of planning so if you if you want to get the 2 to 3 hour tasks which will cost you something like $140.00 euros then you would obviously need to get to the airport early 2 to 3 hours early i know a lot of people already don't like getting to the airport early so that could certainly be tender and so that to be adoption if you also would like to take it to cheaper times $59.00. then you would potentially come to an earlier or. or much earlier to the airport so. there's
3:19 pm
a couple different ways that you can get the test done but you basically get that result and it is sort of attached to europe here take it and that allows the official but here at the airport here at the airport where your flying. if you have tested positive or negative for the virus is this a lucky to be of blueprint for the new normal travel those can expect in the coming months. that's the hope for that's that's what these companies are hoping. which is that one of the partners that's behind this effort has said that they would like to see this being opened up in more airports and obviously as borders are open as people start to travel more there's a lot of anxiety about you know giving credit are serial loved ones or spreading it around getting it yourself so to have a higher level of travel there obviously does need to be some sort of security and safety measures in place but i think we're all have to see how the adoption levels
3:20 pm
really are with this they have a capacity here at this airport about 5000 a day already so we've seen some people walking away when they when they hear how much it's going to cost and we also don't know what point this could become mandatory as you said at this point it's voluntary but some countries might start requiring credit iris has to be allowed and so we could see this at some point because a mandatory effort from from maryland judge to delineate at frankfurt airport thank you very much. in just 2 days germany will take over the presidency of the 27 member european union and get a muckle in france's president a mental block on duty needs later to discuss the transition changes in the dating presidency on the move to tina but this time it's the last opportunity back and will have to define who go to been there to see before she did ties next year she's expected to take firm control of the multi 1000000000 euro coronavirus rescue plan
3:21 pm
. some call that the driving force of euro and now that a pandemic he's taking the e.u. to the core dimension said i'm going to america then french president amended seem to be closer than ever and that attend them didn't see eye to eye at the beginning of the pandemic now they asked and even more united he says i'm about to call. aeration and the friendship between france and germany calls on the us to send a signal even if we know that they are $27.00 even member states i believe that if germany and france give an impulse it is something that will promote the formation of opinion in europe. they must act we must act and so that we come out of this crisis well and stronger. back in may france and germany propose an unprecedented a u. recovery founder 500000000000 euros now they must clarify details and gain support
3:22 pm
from the e.u.'s 27 member states the e.u. commission back to franco german plan for both leaders this is also a chance to build their european leg a-c. become one goal was a notable difference and the america's approval ratings at home are skyrocketing while a man my colleagues faced with criticism over his management of the car enough i was quite says. political correspondent belinda crane on what to expect from today's meeting. we can expect to hear both chancellor merkel and french president emmanuel maclin declare their very strong support for the e.u. commission's economic recovery plan that is based on the proposal the 2 of them made 6 weeks ago there are 3 really noteworthy aspects of that and you can expect to hear the leaders emphasize all 3 1st of all the size of this recovery plan 750000000000 euros 500000000000 of that in grants that's
3:23 pm
especially important for the southern european countries that have been very very hard hit by the economic fallout from the corona crisis secondly the way this recovery plan would be financed it would be financed by allowing the euro can pm commission to borrow on the financial markets against the backing of an expanded euro zone budget now what that means and this is historic is that we are seeing a 1st step toward common euro zone debt and the 1st step toward establishing the eurozone as a fiscal identity and the 3rd crucial aspect is speed expect to hear both leaders saying it is imperative to get this recovery plan approved fast and get that money out to those who need it and that europe's fate could hinge on that. stompbox is it pulls its social media advertising over concerns about hate speech on the platform
3:24 pm
the announcement comes as an advertise a boycott of facebook picks up steam with civil rights organizations pressuring the platform to racist and misleading posts shares of facebook and twitter offend last week up to consumer products giant unity of announced it would stop advertising on both forms until next year. i'm joined now by stephen bisley reduced to business stephen welcome you have starbucks and your new live now adding the names to this growing list what does this mean for facebook's bottom line well it definitely adds a bit more have to this boycott i was talking about before they really came on board you have brands like eddie bauer patagonia north face these aren't lightweights but they don't have the same kind of spending that these 2 companies had in 2019 your lover about $42000000.00 advertising revenue spending on facebook it's estimated starbucks $95000000.00 so together almost $140000000.00 worth of
3:25 pm
advertising spending on that platform that really ups the ante here we should point out starbucks $21000.00 advertising revenue $70000000000.00 that's about 99 percent of its total revenue it comes from advertising so it makes more of a debt but in the grand scheme of things it's not huge it's more about what the brand can be tarnished if the brand can be tarnished and facebook sees that that's the case they're responding a bit more and in terms of the response facebook did institute some new rules in addition to hate speech on the platform is that not proving sufficient for these brands no not at all in fact starbucks decided to join this boycott after facebook made this announcement on friday so that shows that it's clearly not enough for a lot of these brands and they're going to continue to face pressure you know what facebook did and they should be given some credit they have taken actually a number of positive steps we look at hate speech and things like that over the past year or 2 years since this issue has been raised and they said they're going to broaden these categories and one of the things that really is interesting here is they're going. trying to label statements that would otherwise be prohibited
3:26 pm
under their rules but are made by political figures of course trump is probably really in the crosshairs here and that's really the most controversial aspect of this whole thing that's really what consumer what these advertisers want to see is is what's going to happen about these political statements made by someone who can be so incendiary and the groups affiliated with him will those be dealt with what happens next in this grand boycott saga i think what's interesting is we look at you know leverage said that it's not going to make any more social media buys for the next for the rest of the year well the election is happening in 4 months it probably want to be out of this arena totally and i think you're going to see for the next 4 to 5 months the end of the year is going to be really hot topic so i think i think it's going to be at loggerheads until a while symbolically rigid of the business thanks so much for coming in. and finally a dramatic rescue off the coast of sicily and italian wine left conservation groups spotted this creature in trouble and exhausted young. in fishing nets trying desperately to free. a team of coast guard divers been stickney cup the net to
3:27 pm
