no chemicals. and. step. 3. students are. training successful. ok to me. starts october 1st 2 w. . disaster or a tremendous success the 2 men hoping to be the next president of the united states took part in a rather bad tempered debate but did we learn anything about the economic recovery in the us also coming up. facing the music and iconic

nightclub in south korea is forced to close its doors. because of the coronavirus plant. this is deja vu business in berlin welcome to the program the 2 men battling to be the world's largest leader of the world's largest economy had plenty to say about it although at times over the squabbling between president donald trump and his rival joe biden it could be a little tricky to hear what they had to say unemployment trade with china and taxation all came under the right. people out there need help but why do you do it over again in the last 25 years i think the economy was supposed to be trump's calling card for this reelection on tuesday it was a liability to be shifted to his opponent limits or the pandemic has taken a toll on the u.s. economy business activity is picking back up but unemployment remains stubbornly high over 8 percent uncertainty is taking

a toll business planning has been halting as new infections loom. for months trump has wavered between ignoring the virus wishing it away and calling for states to reopen he showed a similar impatience during the debate people want their schools open they don't want to be shut down they don't want this state they want there is no gentleman biden has argued that economic recovery hinges on bringing the virus under control . you can't fix the economy until you fix the covert crisis and he has no intention of doing anything about making it better for you all at home in terms of your health and your safety a debate that like the pen demick won't disappear any time soon anyway. of that report was by the way business as stephen bisley who joins me in the studio to talk with more about this so whoever wins this election in november was 1 of what could be the big economic challenges for the well biggest economic challenges one we've mentioned in the report and that is managing the virus managing the pen demick

because that has become a precondition to economic recovery but beyond that some of the big ones are trading relations for example with china that's something that affects both big and small american american businesses as well as consumers but also the role of regulating tech that's something that is reaching bipartisan support majority of americans according to recent surveys now are interested in the regulation of tech even to the point of potentially breaking up big tech companies that's something that's going to be a big deal in the coming 4 years and then i would say on top of that the role of climate change on the economy that's something that we're seeing industries and states already moving forward with plans what support if any are they going to get from the federal government. i don't think it's a great deal from the device of the school building but what do we know about trump from biden's approaches to those issues i think over the last 3 years we've learned a lot about trump's approaches in the fact that it doesn't really seem to have much strategy it seems to be very impulsive and based on whatever works for him

politically at the moment it be entering the interesting to see if in the future he has a much more settled approach since he's not facing reelection i would assume not to given his personality but obviously a lot of what he's done has been meant to stir emotions whether spend china trade policy. tax cuts will probably win most fundamental restructuring things he's done i would say that one thing that they do have in common is that not afraid to spend money neither of them dead is not a watch we're lucky used to be and both of them are they believe that government power has a role but in different ways one through executive. trump and the other through the traditional levers of power the big question will they have a congress to work with just if you did briefly mentioned that we should talk about u.s. trade policy going forward because that did ignite something of a debate during last night's discussions have a look. he's doing very little trade deals are the same way he talks about these great trade deals you know he talks about the art of the deal chinese made perfected the art of the steal we have a higher deficit with china now than we did before we have the highest differ trade

deficit find it within 60. 8 you know. if in some people suggesting that the person that did the best out of last night's debate was president xi of china how important is that relationship between the united states and china going to be too high the potential president it's going to be incredibly important you know the u.s. the rise in the u.s. economic power has been so much coming from in terms of consumption as it has really been based on china's rise as well as a manufacturer you do see you do see something more of an interest in decoupling i think with what's been going on politically and change on hong kong there's no going back to the way things used to be especially after the trade war that trump is prosecuted you do see bipartisan support actually for taking a harder line against china i think that will continue the question is whether biden will be as bold as trump has been or if trump can be a bit more consistent than he's been instead of just looking for the superficial sort of showy when if you can actually prosecute a real strategy with china and the other thing that they commit joining the debates

was president drums tax affairs biden perhaps not being i would make as much of it as he might have liked but is that still going to be a big part of this presidential campaign i think you i personally think it will be i don't think the issue of paying taxes is such an important one for trump or his supporters or even independents he's been clear for a long time that he sees voiding the payment of taxes as an advantage for him i think will be interesting is that these new revelations have really cast him as a failed businessman and i think that that's something that that actually does change the public understanding of donald trump the long run even if maybe it's not so obvious in the short term i think that that sort of adds to the public understanding of him and that could be swaying for a number of people are going to learn a lot about both of them i think over the next couple of months thank you very much stephen busy for indeed to be business for bringing us up to date. we can now speak to our financial correspondent in frankfurt the stock exchange to talk a little bit more about this pun day what have markets made of the biden trump

debate. i think they're confused if you look at the dax behind me it does not really have a tragically there it's been going up and down but mostly in the red. the stock markets across the world did start in the red today in asia in europe as well and that's predominantly to do with the outcome of the acrimonious debate people feel that it has but had to be ignited the fears of for a disputed vote what have the president term would not accept a loss there if he if he were to do so that is so that's one of the concerns but if you look at china and hong kong the stock market did really well to begin with that's because there were strong factory activity data coming out from china and that did really well among the traders but also there's a major concern about covert 19 cases rising and that should be the case because as

it is from the david this there wasn't much of substance that came out really. something else i wanted to pick your brain about is we've been hearing a lot about so-called trump stocks and buying stocks can you explain a little bit more what people mean when they talk about. well basically it means that which stocks are going to perform better each administrations so of course i'm not very difficult to gauge why if you look at these financial stocks or traditional energy stored or smaller companies they're supposed to do well when. the real elected because he's been so supportive towards the industry and his lower corporate tax then look at biden what stocks are going to do the greener technology stocks then. infrastructure stocks the health health care services star these are going to perform better when biden is if biden is elected that's because of his stand on climate change and his. promise to actually spend big on infrastructure

i should toss in frank thanks a lot for joining us now for a brief look at some of the other business stories making the news. the number of unemployed germans fell for the 1st time since the arrival of the covered 19 pandemic by more than 100-0022 point 5000000 in september unemployment is now at 6.2 percent that is lower than most industrialized nations future the government's short work programme which is keeping millions employed. former audi c. has appeared in a munich court remaking in the 1st person to face criminal charges in germany over the diesel gate scandal and 3 other defendants including a former porsche board member are accused of fraud falsifying documents and false advertising. the u.k.

house of commons has passed the controversial internal markets bill which overrides part of the deal with the u. westminster says the bill guarantees trade between northern ireland on the rest of the u.k. he you however says undoing part of the brics it deal would damage britain's international reputation. to bring in our next story the world's 2nd largest economy china is recovering steadily and september manufacturers receive more export orders after several months of shrinking sales that's according to the purchasing managers and index experts also say the week long golden week holidays which starts on thursday have led to a boom in consumption causing factories to speed up production head of the break a closely watched p.m.i. is seen by some as a more accurate reflection of economic activity in china than government data.

now for night clubs around the world when coronavirus came the party stopped long term closures brought on by lock downs have seen off some bad news that was struggling already among the casualties is one of souls most iconic music clubs. one last dance party to say goodbye to an institution of south korea's nightlife theme for more than 25 years the country's oldest undergrad news that cloud closed its doors last weekend coronavirus is to blame. there were a lot more on the when i read the news i became worried whether this was the start of a decline for the underground music scene club has the famous long history of the news that the club closing down made me emotional and heartbroken or. the north. south korea's economy has been spared the double digit contractions facing many

developed countries but industries are still suffering here not least of all entertainment venues like m w g night clubs have been forced to close their doors due to government restrictions some for good you don't matter. if your heels as if my limbs are being torn from my body right now there are no words to describe how i feel. south korea has seen chrono virus infections jump in recent days ahead of a holiday break where many are expected to travel the government again tighten restrictions this week on restaurants bars and nightclubs that means it likely won't be the last of south korea's fame clubs to go dark. and also for me in the business teamhair in berlin thanks a lot for joining us if you do check out our website.

half of the world's schoolchildren. the lucky ones were able to pursue their studies online. but for many even in developed countries that is not an option. the world was already struggling to come to grips with educational inequality now the united nations warns the covert crisis is making it worse disproportionately affecting the most vulnerable and threatening to wipe out decades of progress for this generation and possibly beyond. this is the w.'s covert 90. special i'm kate ferguson thanks for joining me at the height of the pandemic schools in some 190 countries close their doors many have since reopened but the experience of lockdown heightens major inequalities in education and even richer countries like germany have struggled with the challenges

of going to shit hole. pencils a shop than books are out and students are back in the classrooms but it seems not much of the digital learning put in place during lockdown has survived here at the smiths causeless school in berlin. teacher says many of the challenges involved in digital learning remain. the foundational problems are still there a lot of parents don't understand technology a lot of families don't have internet or digital technology at home but the schools are much better prepared so we are able to have clouds and messenger services and email that is all. in accordance with data protection laws which was not the case before the corona crisis has made schools realise how much still needs to be done in most classrooms teaches and students still use analog tools and learning materials to change that the german government has put aside 5000000000 curios to

digitalize the classroom money desperately needed says co-principal sure nuff said when looking at his equipment this is. it is definitely the case that teachers and parents are investing their own private resources to digitalize this of course staff and initiatives by the state but that always comes with a lot of. which we see now as well with the current funding so in the end you have to make sure you take all that you can get. until now only one of over 1200 students at this school has received a tablet financed by the state students our way of how slowly things are moving and want to see change. if you tell us you go there's room for improvement in the digitalisation of our school to say the least there's not enough equipment for all students it was not enough to make proper home schooling possible. but some

students think that they are now better prepared in case of another look down. and learn from us which are not at the beginning it was new for all of us the system the computers working at home now i think that it will while better than the 1st time. but the ideal classroom that can switch effortlessly from the school to each student's very unfair means that distant goal. let's talk professor fernando reamers he's the director of the global education innovation initiative harvard university professor eamon thanks for joining us if that the current disruption to learning could cause the biggest educational setback in history could you expound on that for us. i was so looking i'm delighted to be with you the currency has to be set in the complex of the fact that over the last 7 decades the world experience the most remarkable silent revolution in the history of humanity

as a result of the expansion of boxes through school which went from including about one of 2 children in school 70 years ago doing clearing just about everyone now this pandemic through 3 mechanisms is going to create a major said by the 1st mechanism is that because schools have to create of turn ways of delivering education in a limited time with limited professional preparation to teachers those mechanisms have not reached students all students equally well in addition the kind of support that is available to students are home varies depending on the level of education of their parents and their source economic level and as a result for the students who have not been reached effectively who do not have adequate support at home they are not learning and they are not engaging in school what that means is that some of them are going to have a very hard i'm continuing their studies window and then he is over and some of them are going to drop out altogether in some cases caused by the memory

consumption of these as cause of children to begin to work to help their families survive and finally the 3rd mechanism is a piece pandemic is creating enormous financial burdens in some states and as a result of their being available for education so those. 3 mechanisms are the ones that are going to cause major setbacks in how many children are able to return to school we're going to see many of them drop out and we're going to see that for many children even those who continue there will be significant gaps in their knowledge the schools may or may not be able to help them recover so some huge challenges that now you've spoken to educators all over the world what's the most surprising thing you've heard from them. correct over the last 6 months i have been doing extensive research with colleagues of you always see the end of the world via what has really surprised me the most are 3 things number one the tremendous concern for education the fact that asian e.c.

in time of a pandemic when life is is what is a stake as a very very serious concern and that speaks to a major cultural shift in humanity if you think about the last pandemic of 1918 education was not one of the top 3 was no going 100 then comes ours and the fact that he is this speaks very well of how we. as a global community have internalized how important the development of the talent and skills of the next generation are the 2nd thing that has surprised me is the professionalism of many teachers who have demonstrated to them and you creation is not just a job it's a life mission and they have worked extremely hard to create alternative ways to continue to reach their students sometimes with the support of their local governments state governments sometimes in the absence of support 13 that has surprised me is the remarkable create the media in the nation that has resulted

from operation collaboration among teachers with theme schools among schools collaborations of organizations of civil so. i think that some of those innovations have been facilitated by the teachers who are connected to networks of people outside their jurisdictions that communication extensive communication who's a teacher in touch with others in places are on a weight has created the equivalent of a many chief ect and marriage effect is a term used to refer to what happened in florence several decades after the and then when lawrence for the many. cd ever write the of archy's and intellectuals on science. they are being. helped like machiavelli and out of dot com versions of great minds in a small place. the rostock and i think there is a i for some schools these communication these collaborations going to really bring

about some our songs in some schools but aside let it run into on a hopeful note that professor fernando reamers thank you so much for speaking with us because i prefer thank you very much heartening time now to answer one of your questions about the koran if i rest over to our science correspondent eric williams . how do you decide which parts of the population get vaccinated 1st. there's a lot of worry that both the national and international levels that when a vaccine does become available it won't be distributed to the people who need it most on an equitable basis but who does need it the most and while lawmakers are already coming up with lists of of who should be at the front of the line and with some variations that's what health authorities around the world will hopefully carry through on in assuming that politicians are able to grasp the idea that this

is a global issue that won't be solved by that scene nationalism which is a big if but supplies will also be limited initially at least so there needs to be a framework in place to maximize benefits. the vaccine alliance or gobby which is the international organization that plays a vital role in vaccine development and distribution all over the world it's come up with guidelines aimed at providing the most benefit for the most people worldwide even with limited resources over $150.00 countries have now signed up to its kovacs initiative it recommends that the 1st people to get a vaccine should be those most exposed to the disease which are the health care and and social care workers on the pandemic front lines thousands of them all over the planet have died from covert 19 already next in line would be older people

over 60 five's alone with those at high risk if they catch the disease like like people with with underlying health conditions most countries will probably also prioritise professions that are deemed to be essential for people like caregivers and rest homes or police officers or those who work and in key industries like food production which already clear is that children will be far down on the list and not only because of that 19 is less deadly in general for them but also because it'll take more time to produce and test vaccines that are specifically tailored to kids. and finally for many adjusting to the new normal means avoiding social gatherings not fessing flush in restaurants but that's not good enough for one company in japan

they've unveiled a new robotic way sir and they hope will help people enjoy while keeping their distance softbank from posix says the ai to one robot is designed to keep customers on restaurant staff safe. delivering food and drinks with a little risk of infection the ai driven robot will be alone dash to select restaurants in japan this winter. and that's all from me thanks so much for writing take our. limited cutter's the spirit 13 years ago when germany was really unified in october 1900 at the time the economic disparity between east and west was huge. today how have things changed for the people in the 2 farms of the country how have
