before dark it allows individuals to discover their heritage we have to work moving for life from new things to do that's a social revolution hope we can move forward. in the midst of a pandemic we might witness the world's biggest i.p.o. shares in chinese e e commerce giant alibaba jumps to a new record this morning that a day after the group's financial arm filed for a joint listing in shanghai and hong kong also coming up new laws aimed at improving the lives of europe's truck drivers could backfire we tell you why. wants to support a trucking economy with china investing in the country's pork but environmental
12:31 pm
groups say no. hello and welcome to your business i want to get johnson berlin good to have you with us ever heard of and group if not now is the time to find out more and group is the financial technology of chinese commerce giant ali baba and it's just filed for a do you a listing in shanghai and hong kong the i.p.o. is being billed as one of the world's largest stock market listings which could well raise a record $30000000000.00 and group operates ali pay $1.00 of china's 2 dominant online payment services now for more on this story let's bring in our financial correspondent in frankfurt that's chelsea delaney good morning to you and a man in taipei it's so hans soo good morning to you too and i'd like to start with you. because why is it you will have listing and both of those basically taking place in china. well actually the end
12:32 pm
financial is not the 1st chinese company to list both and china and hong kong we know companies like net. and financial sister company they all went to hong kong for a listing and there are several reasons the 1st reason is because hong kong has a very special financial status so for these chinese companies hong kong like the united states is considered offshore investment with the stock market turnover comparable to other major exchanges and secondly hong kong as international foreign exchange trading santer can always meet the demand for foreign currency fundraising especially in u.s. dollars and compared with the madeleine hong kong alyson hong kong always attracted more coverage and more reports from multinational investment bank and research institute that's not here to get tracked overseas investors are probably not
12:33 pm
usually more companies. when they hold on to that that that is exactly the point where i want to bring in chelsea because when you talk about hong kong and its traction especially to foreign investors chelsey hong kong is no longer the gateway to china it is technically speaking china now and will that affected states is in the financial world you think. well after china introduced the national security law for hong kong over the summer there was obviously a huge political blowback in many people thought that hong kong would lose their special status as really the gateway to china a lot of investment companies a lot of hedge funds were threatening to pull out but and now that the dust has settled it doesn't really look like much has changed and if anything hong kong status has actually been strengthened because normally a company like and would have done a listing in new york in a listing and china as well now because of these tensions between the u.s. and china and these these really big attractive chinese firms are listing in hong
12:34 pm
kong instead of in new york so that's really bringing a lot of money and to hong kong and making it an even more attractive financial place for investors right and of course we're saying this is could very well be the biggest i.p.o. this year but we don't know yet when or do we is there a date yet over china's relevant authorities that bad calls to leave work it's fine and shows i.p.o. and songhai. have been done and all did and financials are here in hong kong was it was up to it so we can expect the earliest date to be in october. ok well that's definitely when we will see you again chelsea a woman question for you because i mean all of this is happening as we know now in shanghai and in hong kong what's the relevance of this i.p.o. from the european perspective than. well and should really get a lot of cash from this from this i.p.o.
12:35 pm
and one theory is that they could perhaps use it to expand more in europe especially now that the u.s. market is increasingly unattractive for investment for chinese companies and already has been expanding a little bit and europe they've done some small acquisitions really focused on chinese travelers so far chinese tourists but potentially they could be doing more expansion going for it and after this i.p.o. . delay the reporting for us from frankfurt and some months to in taipei thank you so much to both of you have a nice day. now and groups listing has boosted asian tech sentiment and to asset managers are looking to china for growth the world's largest mutual fund manager vanguard says it is winding down its hong kong and japan operations and moving to shanghai the u.s. headquartered vanguard manages funds with 6 trillion dollars and is currently working on a joint project with china us and group trade tensions with the u.s. and security issues in hong kong mean chinese tech firms are increasingly choosing
12:36 pm
to list in china. sometimes meaning well can cause more harm than good the e.u. commission aims to improve the working conditions of close to 3000000 truck drivers moving freight across the block the law is coming into effect now require them to return home every 4 weeks now wholly is fear this will hurt their business and it could be the truck drivers who bear the brunt. of. this her wills don't get any easier with time. but different domains family came to send him off from the rumanian town potentially the truck driver is heading out on a journey through western europe long distance driving has been found amin's life now for nearly 6 years he enjoys it even though it wasn't easy at 1st. but for me i can say that it's the right job for me. i don't enjoy doing it even though there are moments when i would like to be home. and sometimes have 2nd thoughts about
12:37 pm
going forward with trucking market marvelous up to a lot of thoughts about what every job requires sacrifices or. truck drivers like him now worry that the new trucking laws could mean even more sacrifices starting now drivers have to return home after 3 to 4 weeks on the road with their weekend rest will have to be spent in the hotel people by the company no longer in the cabins of their trucks these measures are intended to improve working conditions in an industry where try. often spent months on the road but many of the roughly 60000 remaining truck drivers working in western europe feel discriminated against not only does distance separate them from the western markets tonight the hungarian border crossing illustrates another disadvantage. romania is part of the e.u. but still not a member of the schengen zone which allows freedom of movement without border controls across most of the block each time romanian truck drivers leave their home
12:38 pm
country they find themselves here waiting in line for hours and hours on end with mandatory return to their home country now being imposed this line is likely to become a lot longer in the future or perhaps no more lines at all at the transport ministry in bucharest reserve great that these laws could change not only the face of the industry but of the entire remaining economy. of him would he says we're facing a major risk that these companies will relocate their trucks and families and taxes from romania to the west with all that we impose this is what we're facing the in romania we don't want that to happen it is back to the border stefan is not going to make the crossing in time and prepares for the night asked about what his future might look like he becomes thoughtful. if i work shorter time
12:39 pm
then obviously the money i earn be much less if not have to move. so i'm really thinking if this whole effort still makes any sense or going. home no money no family. can see the purpose of it anymore his boss is already looking into packing up and branching out into spain the stuff i might have to follow. but for now it's lights out he's got a long journey in the morning. crisis settled argentina could soon become one of china's main pok supply us and move. to double the south american countries pull production bring in several $1000000000.00 worth of investment and provide thousands of new jobs but many argentinians are furious at the idea. this is about packing plants intensive farming and industrial production for the chinese market several environmental organizations are behind the demos which have
12:40 pm
brought hundreds of protesters onto the streets of when us artists. were going to get it here in buenos aires one demand is to reject the agreement with china for the transfer of vast pork production farms over here and the other is to reject the destruction of wetlands of land clearance. argentina is famous for its beefsteaks if china gets its way it could soon be the land of pork chops china's own pork industry has been devastated by african swine fever and beijing wants argentina to fill the gap the deal is worth around $3800000000.00 argentina is in dire financial straits making such an offer hard to turn down protesters fear it will come at huge cost to its natural resources. staying with pork there is no substitute for

even begin to imagine a world class horn player cyril willis on a musical journey of discovery. 2 without a. start september 16th on to w. . they call themselves long holos or long tellez some of being sick almost as. long as the new coronaviruses been around. covert 19 is causing more long term damage than thought. was a. problem diagnosed with some blood clots smaller blood clots in or if my lungs then i got a lot of respect to treat problems and the doctors just do not understand why i've still got blood clots but i want them to find out what's going on as well as some
12:46 pm
opportunity. after curve 19 i lost almost half my hair. the hospital some call we hope the majority of the lesser seem terms will disappear after a time as with the 1st sars pandemic will almost certainly witness permanent health issues but to what extent he's unknown thousands of people of all ages staying sick for weeks even months a study by denmark our host university found a 3rd of corona patients suffered long term side effects for some the virus just comes and goes or just doesn't go rather it stays the disease can damage the lungs heart and brain increasing the risk of long term health problems suzanne ahead of her husband peter cuneo were among the 1st people in germany to contract the coronavirus back in march as they emerged from quarantine 2 weeks later they
12:47 pm
thought everything would be fine but we were wrong because even now 5 months later suzanne to head for this is still suffering from the effects of the virus before she was very active and highly sporty that's all changed. as you can see mood come i'm very tired i can easily go to bed and fall asleep at 8 o'clock that wasn't the case before and that's the main problem the tiredness it's really debilitating. she's not alone many doctors say they see patients who are struggling to fully recover after an acute corona virus infection years the person's posts here we're seeing patients who had dogged by health problems for weeks even months afterwards even though the virus is no longer present and they should actually be healthy again. and nicole has also suffers from exhaustion during her illness with coronavirus she
12:48 pm
lost her sense of taste and smell 3 months later she can still barely smell anything not even her morning coffee does for me it's very limiting because i can't really explain it it's something that really affects my quality of life. the cause could be an impairment in the all factory bold during the sars outbreak in 2002 experiments on animals showed the virus could work its way through the nerve endings in the linings of the nose and the olfactory nerve to the brains of factory system before heading on over the sign that says. it's likely that this can also occur with covert 19. could be that some of these patients have actually suffered some brain damage because with patients who present only with impairments to their senses of taste and smell which is a common neurological symptom when we investigate them with imaging we can see
12:49 pm
damage to the factory bulb as we sure as. the psychological stress caused by the pandemic could play a role to recall haskett hope she'll one day return to her old self but she says her brother's experience has scared her as a man but you know what i'm pleased time isn't my brother didn't have any proper symptoms and he's only started to feel really bad since he recovered he has pains in his joints his knees really hurt he constantly has the feeling that he's out of breath. as yet no one knows what is actually causing such symptoms or how long they could go on for researches across the globe are working to come up with answers but it'll be some time before they have them all of course joins us from the university of going and where he's a senior physician great to have you on the show you found covered $1000.00 can affect the kidneys early on and that can be detected detected in
12:50 pm
a urine sample what's that mean for the course of the disease. yes indeed well we know that sucker patient a quick 90 get sicker than others so days after onset of symptoms we know that some need i.c.u. care and much allergy so our idea actually was to use the urine to it identify the suck rupa earlier in terms of well once that the urine gets i was the chief in terms of the organ infection tells us that this patient is at risk . so i actually use this urine sample to do what i can to fight you as i'm with the organ failure patient at rest so this is a good warning sign of a list serious infection are there other warning signs to yes i think there are
12:51 pm
however if you're imagining yourself being affected as a coke 19 patient in a home cantin it is hard for your family doctor to check you every day for all different signs of. organ failure so if you use this you want dipstick it's easy to use like a pregnancy test it makes it a lot easier for your family doctor to to identify your year that you are at risk. so once you are identified the family doctor will take a closer look at what you can transfer you to the hospital what about knowing yourself whether whether or not you're at risk before it even gets that far mean some people had mild symptoms some had been and others get really sick that does it all come down to how healthy we are. it's a very good question that is very hard to answer because we are still in the one
12:52 pm
face in code 19 and the data are confusing. everywhere in the world so let me put it to affect us that i think are quite important here the 1st factor is so if you are a male in your fifty's or sixty's. and if your immune system simply over x. and we don't know why some it was it's a systems over ect and you become seriously ill some other factors of course are being overweight being a smoker and that that also play a role here. and the 2nd i think even more important factor is exposed for and so the higher the virus loads you are exposed to the higher your risk is. think of this. people being in operation potties
12:53 pm
they really had a high exposure and by the way that the highest exposure extreme i have for the health care workers at the emergency departments and i see you as being as opposed to going to you little patients so please be aware that the health care workers are at the highest risk and definitely. when it comes back to the patient if they take all the boxes in a show to get seriously ill what measures can you take. well just to make sure that this is not an official recommendation by myself or you were just curiosity i was there were as of my personal opinion here is. if our a rhythm including that you were in dipstick tells you that this haitian is at risk i would consider it 2 points the 1st point is to anticoagulation yourself
12:54 pm
more aggressively in 2 to korea instrumentality iran's because they know that trump in public events are a major employer in the setting and the 2nd point is that once you are at risk to deteriorate it was very tempting to start the antiviral medication you actually have earlier before you would get sicker briefly as far as the length of time that a patient can suffer as a possible to predict the extent of damage. we. do not know it would not be fair to give you a clear answer here. just don't know enough about the in the long term consequences of quick 19. for sure we know. at present that this is a mood to disciplinary just
12:55 pm
a clean we need to take care off and so we course sure need all the internists a specialty is after this infection too to make sure that for example. the chronic renal failure might suffer after this infection is detected and treat each. decision on a horse at the university of getting and thank you very much for joining us today. you'll turn to ask the questions if you haven't already getting contact on how you should channel we'll get our science correspondent derek williams to look into a topics you bring up. to people living with hiv have an increased chance of dying from kovac 19 a number of different studies have looked at this issue and although the data is still pretty limited mostly they agree that people who are living with hiv and that are on an effective treatment program where the antiviral medication are not any
12:56 pm
more likely to contract or die from covert 19 and then people who don't have a child in the u.s. centers for disease control currently lists having the immunodeficiency diseases as only maybe affecting outcomes a key aspect of that though is certainly going to be whether or not h. i.v. patients continue to get the antiviral therapies that are are keeping their disease in check the united nations program that's responsible for global action on hiv has warns that in 2020 there could be up to half a 1000000 additional aids deaths in sub-saharan africa alone caused not by patients catching covert 19 but because it's disrupting supply lines for and access to the medications that those patients need to survive that would basically wipe out all of the progress that's been made in the fight against aids over the
