for its 1st 0 emission at craft. announces more cuts due to the pandemic. advice. can suppliers keep up with demands we go to taiwan. but time to do business i want to johnsonville in with us now there's nothing wrong with money wherever it comes from and whatever it's used for well that seems to have been the most some of the world's biggest lenders including germany starchy bank and network of journalists has uncovered trillions of dollars of suspicious cash making its way through the financial system that despite strict anti money laundering regulations but apparently those stones work across national borders. 2 trillion dollars but so much the international consortium of investigative journalists say tortured burned j.p. morgan h.s.b.c. and several of the large global banks laundered on their clients' behalf. their

report comes after gaining access to thousands of suspicious activity reports which banks have to file with u.s. regulators when red flags are raised for journalists a parent's often delayed the report effectively giving a blank check to money launderers. obviously it is good that there were suspicious transaction reports but it's a disaster these were filed far too late far too late or than foreseen in the law and equally the business didn't stop soon but often it was held on for years in order to make money with the criminals beyond the journalists report shows that anti money laundering systems are badly designed that international money launderers operate better networks the national regulator real authority is. banking on a list in europe of calling for an e.u. wide anti money laundering or 34 suspicious activity report will be used to monitor

and prevent illegal cross border transfers. of a more i'm joined by graham barrow he is the director of the dark money files a block that aims to explain financial misconduct such as corruption bribery and tax evasion to a non technical audience that's brilliant graham good to have you with us sir tell me one thing and able to all those dig banks to circumvent existing financial regulation that's an able in money laundering. well that's a big question about her it's important to distinguish between correspondent banking the bank you mean you and i do the banking you and i are doing doesn't come to those sort of people against correspondent banking does not the banks that to banking on the other banks so just to give you some context here in the u.k. 90 trillion dollars every year goes through course on the banking accounts it's massive so this is although it's an eye watering amount against the flows it's not so big and therefore the challenge of identifying the suspicious activity against

the the genuine stuff is a big golf so let's not say can't be done the banks are still playing catch up so they find this a difficult problem and they're not as good at it as they should be so the banks basically what do something about it if they could catch up as you put it or is that a business model that they just don't want to let go. not to look if the banks have deliberately processing criminal follows but sometimes it really does look a bit haha i think critically if you think about most of the banks the risk from the banks post like. if somebody if you hands on the money and they run away with it you've lost the money the big difference with this is of course the banks do make a profit from all of these loans and the cost of identifying it is very high so what we're asking them to spend a lot of money to that are going to buy a business that they're going to chuck out and not only value and so there's quite

a challenging question for viruses or do you want to spend their money to not only as much as we would have done otherwise cancel right after that it's an important issue is involved right i can i can understand that that's not really a very good intentions for the bank but that brings us to the authorities and 1st of all i mean yes again it's journalists that had to uncover these actions not supervisory authorities how come. because we're not prepared to spend the money without sleep of israel for it is to do the job that they need to do if you think about what's happened this this week 2000 saw is have been investigated by 400 journalists in the last year here in the u.k. we get 2000 cells every single does we have a 100 people to look at so we do know have the results is a valuable to do this this investigation at the state level. because it's the

journalists are able to throw more resources out there because of the newsworthiness. financial intervention is these are the people that who look at these things that we have a mismatch and part of that is because we are 5 and national solution to an international problem and it's not working right and graham you've stressed several times the u.k. i'm fully aware that i'm asking an englishman now but what are the chances for an e.q. white and team money laundering off r.h.e. well this englishman would drive the come back and join you because he he respects the thought i think it's really important we're seeing the events of them have been happening for example a boat where. following the assassination of dr nick carr all the glitz here is that when he decides to do something it's pretty effective and they you know need money will be no authority would help to transform the landscape of society we currently have national solutions for its national problems we have back out all of

this crude as though do we need to start working out the truth graeme barrett there from the dot money files thank you so much for your time thank you thank you. the tick tocks american future remains on 7 days off to the white house gave its blessings to a deal that would keep the popular video sharing app a life in the u.s. seems to be conflicting views on washington and beijing as to who exactly will control the app. a deal to keep going in the u.s. looks to be done at the weekend when it emerged that a group of investors including oracle and wal-mart would control the apps american operations however chinese firm bite downs which owns tick-tock claims it would still own a majority share of the new company that would be created to control tech talk in the u.s. called tech talk global. oracle says bite downs will have no ownership role but according to chinese state media beijing would not approve such a deal. u.s.

president donald trump says the situation remains unclear. that's working its way through i give it a preliminary ok. so we can save it will save it and if we can't cut it off but they have preliminary we'll see what they could do we have to have total security that's the only thing very aboard we have to go to if the deal breaks down whether in washington beijing or both 2 it could mean the massively popular up can no longer be accessed in the usa by order of the white house. and out of some of the other global business stories making news. intel says it has received licenses from u.s. authorities to continue supplying certain products to while away it enables one way to continue its production of notebooks the us tightened its export controls last week dictating that firms cannot supply the chinese tech giant with electronic components using american technology. airbus has unveiled 30 emission

passenger plane designs using hydrogen powered technology the european manufacturer said they could enter service by 2035 this comes as airlines are under growing pressure from governments to tackle carbon emissions of facing an unprecedented slump of demand amid the coronavirus pandemic. and of tons has announced further cut backs on flights and personnel due to the coronavirus pandemic currently at least $150.00 planes are due to be junked and the company warded would likely be forced to eliminate would then the previously announced 22000 jobs over the next 5 years. all the pandemic has made public transport unappealing for many people bikes are an obvious eco friendly alternative and lucky those who already have a bike because demand is growing so fast that supplies are struggling to keep up with it even at the world's biggest bicycle make a giant it's all hands on deck is a report from taiwan site cio owns

a bike shop in taiwan increased demand has eaten into the supply of bicycles in this stuff room. so we used to purchase children's bikes 3 times a month but now we only receive those folks once a month and we don't have enough to sell. many in the industry know what the time when these retailers are experiencing. the world's biggest bicycle maker giant is based here it's sales out taiwan are booming too. in the 1st 7 months of this year giant's bike sales increased by nearly 30 percent in europe and 20 percent in the u.s. and china compared with the same period last year importers report that their inventory has dwindled from a 3 month supply to just one month. while the man outpaces production all time can do is to push cash here them for now. i want china and the nano and are

all producing close to their maximum capacity and experts don't see the demand slowing anytime soon. so things users realize that riding bicycles is a good way to be eco friendly. but it's also more recently the pandemic also changed people's habits and boosted the demand for bicycles. so i'm optimistic. i would suggest the bike in the street expand its capacity steadily based on their perception of their own capability wouldn't you with your clue. for now giant is sticking with its current production scale bike retailers like size cio will have to keep waiting to restock and hope customers will keep coming anyway. at the moment it looks like they will. and finally india's famed monument to

love the 17th century white marble touch my heart as we open to visitors after being close to 6 months due to the pandemic it's a different experience though only $5000.00 visitors are allowed in daily and that's a quarter of the usual number mosques are compulsory as is having your temperature checked india has recorded more than 5000000 cases of the coronavirus that's the 2nd highest tally in the world after the united states. that's all for business for now for me in the team in berlin thanks for watching.

combating the corona pandemic. where does research stand and. what are scientists learning. background information and. our corona update. covert 19 special next on d w. sometimes.

what connects people is stronger than the civil rights law. is so strong that it be torn down. we celebrated the 30th anniversary is ridiculous occasion october 3rd on d w. waste piling up disposable protective equipment plastic packaging. initially there been a hope that the slowdown in the world economy would be good for the planet bad traffic almost stopped completely. cruise ships were stranded in port and it just you pollution was reaching out. but the pandemic has had negative consequences for the environment to the world was already drowning under a sea of plastic waste with

a pandemic has made the situation worse. in one face mask and stay in the environment for up to 450 years it takes that long before they turn into invisible micro plastic so this issue is quite serious and. has the human toll of the corona virus mounts and the world economy struggles to adjust to the new normal the wider impact on the environment is only now starting to become apparent. the global medical emergency has presented an opportunity to check on the health of the planet as controversial new lockdown measures kick in in the capital madrid as our report from spec. leon i'll be getting is pulling plastic waste from the river segura near the spanish city of alicante there's heaps of garbage everywhere.

never let us know the problem is that plastic is very light so it's easily swept up by the wind and flows down rivers where it ends up in the sea the one i'm up. early on a says spain's plastic waste problem has gotten worse since march when the corona virus outbreak began. in the middle of everything's got way since the pandemic started using less disposable plastic packaging but now spanish people are buying even more plastic wrapped items because they're scared of getting infected disposable plastic perhaps a common in supermarkets of their lights an easily swept away. the pandemic has led to a waste crisis now even environmentally conscious consumers feel safer buying plastic wrapped products. here 200 kilometers further south near the city of i'm at the spanish farmers are growing

bell peppers and melons under vast plastic sheets. some of them disposable old sheets illegally but catching the culprits is tricky. we managed to find a former farmer who was willing to talk about the problems. he was in growing crops is their livelihood but images like these tarnish their image a few farmers are ruining everyone's image. and his colleagues from the marine conservation organization study what happens to plastic waste in the sea. they take samples to have them checked for tiny plastic particles. it i mean these substances are toxic. they are poisonous chemical products that break down in the sea should not only be concerned about plastic bags floating around. the tiny plastic particles you can only see under

a microscope or even more dangerous. team have their latest sample examined at all. and they find yet more plastic particles. this plastic passes through the food chain through fish and ends of your bodies to him you also absorb it through our skin when we swim. we're basically contaminating yourself. plastic waste in the sea poses a serious health risk to humans and animals alike. that's why leon i began to spend so much time cleaning up. she says the pandemic shouldn't serve as an excuse for us to produce even more garbage she says protecting the environment also keeps us healthy. that's got us one of the 2 are connected in some way and then that if we destroy the environment we also endanger our own health we are seeing this now join coronavirus a pandemic that a lot when not thinking ahead and not protecting the environment and not treating

animals like we should not the european union wants to cut back on single use plastics but these days due to the pandemic the very opposite is happening. it takes some 500 years for these materials to decompose so they'll be with us for generations. let's speak to young pay to share more. of the institute for applied ecology then thanks a lot for joining us so we saw in our report people are choosing plastic packaging for their food because they think it's safer given the pandemic i mean is there a danger that this pandemic is making our day to day lives less ecologically sustainable. well 1st of all thanks for having me on the show it of course you're right that people restrooms small businesses with a lot of custom interfaces use more disposables now than they used to directly

before condemning but there's of course also another part of the story in that is that we saw a lot in steel a lot of changes of patterns of behavior and consumption that actually moved towards new sustainability starting with food in germany for example the consumption of regionally and you can logically produced food has increased during the pun denecke of beneficial for the environment we saw lots of changes him ability patterns less business trips less commuting to work more home office some of those probably will be maintained after the pandemic and of course you 2 lockdowns which is not a positive thing for the economy and for the humans but nevertheless consumption production went down and therefore also energy use raw material use and therefore it was something with stress on the environment went down so overall i would say it's more the opposite that we didn't see batons change the way that our

environmentally more destructive although we're disposable to probably one point where it did yes last in terms of individual behavior but by the way can we say that this pandemic has been good or bad for the environment. i think that rest still to be seen in the immediate effect as i said consumption production went down there was no at travel for some time many factories went on on leave pretty much put their people on leave didn't work and so it was like a pause for the environment for the stress on the environment in most areas and what is it that it is with a pause button if you push play again and then the question is whether the situation will be different so that depends a lot on whether companies and governments will rethink their business models or their investment support and change things for example in fashion and we've

heard from some companies saying they do too resilience questions of the value chain will move away from fast fashion in faster than is nothing else than disposable fashion and therefore and to tremendous to be environment to look at how much water cotton for example needs and a t. shirt so the question will be how many actors in the economy and from the government's side will change their way of doing business here in terms of governance as they say to get economies going again what sort of things should they be bearing in mind. well 1st of all it's totally understandable that they have to look at easing the burden for particularly the social disadvantage socially disadvantaged and that the pandemic and the lock downs bring about the same time now taking money for recovery packages they should look into where they invest and there of course they should invest in more sustainable

technologies we have a lot of transitions in the energy sector and the transport sector and the agricultural sector in the building sector we need to move to a circular economy in all of these areas it would be helpful and oriented towards the future if governments use their money to support business models of the future that means electric fields for example in the transport sector that means thinking about how to encourage me for bushing of homes and developing more sustainable construction materials that means to move in the average altschul set that way from quantity to quality and all these are things that they should incorporate into and we cover a package is many do more so than in financial crisis about 10 years ago but still not enough if you compare how much money goes into clearly environmentally beneficial investments compared to the classical. business models then it is not enough given the urgency that we have in all those sectors. shammal from the

institute for applied to college thanks a lot for joining us and now one of your questions to our science correspondent eric williams. how hopeful asked the drug interferon be to when it comes to fighting covered 19. interferons are proteins produced by the immune system at play a key role in communication in the body during a viral infection they they warn cells that an invader is on the loose giving them time to to ramp up additional defenses and there's evidence that one reason covert 19 can turn so serious is that sars cove 2 seems to suppress interferon production in some way early in the infection process the immune system is correct to slay complicated i'm the best description of it i've heard compares

the many complex interactions between different molecules and cells to a ball of spaghetti so it's hard to nail down exactly what's going on but this is fission that interferon production is being turned off that's led researchers to look at whether giving interferons to patients there a pew to clean might lessen co but 1980 back in july a british company testing inhaled doses of an interferon called interferon beta reported in a small scale study that giving it to early stage patients cut their chances of developing severe breathing difficulties dramatically and it significantly reduced their hospital stays the company is now in further testing with the compound other research indicates that the timing when exactly these signalling protein is

administered that that could play a very key role in how the body reacts to treatment with it so so to answer the question researchers are quite hopeful that interferon bedo will prove as a. active as as early testing indicates but but we're still waiting for more detailed results. that's all from us but. close.
