future so they seek refuge abroad but what will become of us christine behind it's a. little my husband went to peru because of the crisis that we're going to that if you hadn't gone there we would have died of hunger and i wanted them. to split the stories are told are 16. $4516.00 that's how many new coronavirus cases are reported in germany within the last 24 hours the virus is spreading fast and with the fear of what it will do to the economy i'll speak to the president of germany's evil institute also coming up. space economy keeps my doing while case numbers are rising the states tries to ease the pain with stimulus but the help doesn't reach

everyone. plant no it's not a cure for hope it 19 but cannabis has a lot of other medicinal benefits as thailand wants to come on it. but how to do business i want to johnsonville and good to have you with us and we're starting with a big financial market mirja euro next is set to buy the milan stock exchange for 4300000000 euros your text says the acquisition will create the largest palm european market maker the deal will be put to a shareholders' vote in november euro next owns exchanges in capitals across the continent including amsterdam lisbon and paris. a we're going to frankfurt now where our correspondent chelsea delayed is joining me chelsea why is london stock exchange selling the bar some milan 0 to euro next. so there's

a couple different reasons the 1st is that the london stock exchange is in the midst of a really big acquisition and they're buying the u.s. data firm for about $27000000000.00 and as a condition of that deal they had to get rid of and. milan stock exchange so this will clear the way for the london stock exchange to go ahead with this other deal but this is also strategically quite an important for your own necks and for europe as a whole this will allow euro next to be really the biggest player and european stocks trading they'll have about 25 percent of the stock trading market here which will allow them to do things like cut down costs and improve efficiency of for the platform and it also fulfills that italy's wish to get this. exchange back into the european hands so normally certainly the announcement moves the markets one of those would do investors there in front for the make of the deal. for frankfurt

it's actually a bit of a disappointment the board which runs the frankfurt stock exchange had also been in the bidding for the milan stock exchange so a bit of a blow to not have come out on top for frankfurt in particular but this does just comment that met a general trend towards consolidation of stock exchanges in europe we've seen many many companies merging or doing acquisitions and this comes as europe is really trying to build up its capital markets it wants to be a bigger competitor especially now that we're heading towards. a chance to do a new front so it's into so much. the coronavirus pandemic is dax not that it ever left but things are certainly getting worse all across europe including germany bilin has turned into a hotspot which prompted authorities here to enjoy introduce stricter closing times for restaurants and boss things that even worse in neighboring france which reported a new all time high with almost 19000 new infections in

a single day in paris all basel cafes have to remain closed for 2 weeks other cities in france could follow suit and in belgian the capital brussels to all bars and cafes have to close for a month scotland has ordered to the closure of pops in larger cities such as edinburgh and the whole of britain could soon join and meanwhile in italy it is now mandatory to wear face masks in public even outdoors and poland might even introduce a state of emergency this weekend to keep soaring case numbers under control so dramatic scenes here what's this escalating health situation mean for the economy well for that let's bring in claimants fusees the president of the institute like nets institute for economic research at the university of munich and he joins us now good morning to you. so i mean here in germany the situation is getting worse we can see that every day but politicians across all parties insist there won't be

another lock down do you believe them. oh good morning monica i do believe they would like to order a lockdown but the truth is it's already coming it is not the general lockdown it's more targets to i think that's a good idea because the harm on the economy will be less the lockdown measures will be increasing so another type of lockdown is coming that's unavoidable. in some ways it's also welcome because we need to rein in the m.m.x. there's no other way exactly of course i mean health comes 1st but the pandemic with or without lockdown in whatever shape or form is already hurting business hospitality suggests. tree lances are left high and dry when do you see the so far not yet this it will insolvency tsunami which a lot of experts have predicted. i'm not sure it will be a tsunami but certainly

a growing number of model insolvencies will be felt while a larger company is what we see is a lot of freelancers and smaller companies in difficulties hotels restaurants and so on and here the insolvencies are less visible what's going on it is that these people will be looking for other jobs and help probably worth a state we will see that increasing and of course. also weighs down on the economy as a whole because these people stop consuming these people stop investing and of course looking for other jobs those jobs 1st of all have to be available and we learned yesterday from the world economic forum report that unemployment will be the big topic in the next decade so looking ahead hopefully at some point we will be able to control the pandemic what will be left of europe's economy the way we know it. i think the economy will be changed there will be more digitized but he will also be

poor or it will be more equal it will be a mall loaded with that it will be more unequal because we are making it difficult for young people and the labor market we are shutting down schools and people are probably less educated background so there will be a lot of work for governments to 'd to compensate for it we are facing difficult times right says clements fu state of germany's think tank the evil institute in munich thank you so much for your time thank you. spain is among europe's hardest hit countries the economy slumped by around 18 percent of the 2nd quarter and the downward trend continues as tourism tanks and events accounts and the spanish government has launched extensive social support programs including a short term work allowance which guarantees workers 70 percent of their wages but the virus has already left scars on many lives that. volunteers prepare over 800

meals a day here at this emergency food bank in palmatum yorka. to melo is working in the kitchen he's a top chef but he lost everything because of the coronavirus pandemic. that's when all the problems began i had everything and then came months during which i lost everything that was no help or a lot of promises but nothing came of it. thanks to the food bank of the melos surviving he invested all his savings in a restaurant thanking the pandemic and the lock down the restaurant how to close today he lives in a tiny room beside the kitchen. sometimes i don't know what you're getting yourself into but it all happened so quickly that i didn't have time to react you always think i won't teach you want all the time comes. that i think that. there are hundreds of thousands like tiago in majorca alone this grim social drama

could get worse. and 85 percent of all families who ask us for help have not been able to pay their rent for 2 to 4 months almost none received the basic social income and many have not yet received the short term work allowance if they were entitled at all. live in madrid is painfully aware of this problem she's a dancer but she can't perform she's been trying to get support for months she also hopes to get a basic income that would give her 460 euros a month. will more it's my last attempt to get any help with the aid for arts isn't coming and i don't get on employment benefits either. no one of the ministries involved can say why the aid is flowing so slowly the spokes person is not available for comment so we asked the trade union to explain.

came as a complete surprise like the pandemic itself but on the other hand the idea of basic income is something completely new that has never been seen before and these are new applications new permits. back in majorca tiago only sees his wife every few days she now lives in a neighboring town and also only has a small room to grow out of our separated them the mood is getting worse. or lawyers are dominated by fear and worry you don't know what decision to make this uncertainty in the news. this year an estimated 1500000 people are reliant on food aid from the government and charitable organizations. sadly it's not a cure for cold 19 but it can help ease chronic pain and conditions such as multiple sclerosis and epilepsy cannabis there's plenty of it in thailand and now the government there hopes it could also be a lucrative export it. elsewhere it's inconceivable the health minister the man in

the middle ages in the cultivation of cannabis and it in china veronica will join the hundreds of employees of the thai government pharmaceutical organization g.p.o. in this ceremonial planting the shrubs will be used to produce medicinal products completely legally and on behalf of the state. had one lakh than. that matthew but the greenhouse can control various factors about the growth of the cannabis i had and that my son can bet enables us to extract large amounts of cannabinoids from the plants you know that i'm basing that and they reduce the cost of producing it as a product in the future and so by. for almost 2 years it's been legal to cultivate cannabis in thailand under controlled conditions it's going well with some of the crop even being exported. for now only massive state run

facilities like this one can grow it but the thai government is already planning to put medicinal marijuana plants in the greenhouses of private growers to have and he is a reminder of the top story this hour. growing up ours infections are on the rise in many european countries and so our restrictions bars and restaurants are closing in some regions travelers grinding to a halt the economy is facing job losses and cuts. and that's all from me our business team here in berlin as always thanks for watching for stay safe stay healthy. the book.

specially at a time when getting the support they need isn't always possible. i'm ben for zola nice to have you along dealing with grief is hard enough but in the middle of a lockdown during the panic of a pandemic or surrounded by bulldozers filling mass graves that's not easy but it's important to deal with there are major health problems to think about and consequences for life is teri schultz reports on one belgian family's loss. the world has lost a 1000000 lives. one of them meant the world to 10 year old lorenzo my grandpa was the best his grampa luke picked him up from school each day and when. we made it all merch and after dat. me just played and couching just didn't really want to deal. mostly i got snacks easy

but their hometown st trued and was hit early and hard by the coronavirus we had 53 people. who had to enter the hospital and we only had bets for 20 people but luke was already hospitalized failing fast he said if i don't make it police to good. health he didn't make it on march 23rd luke became seen truants 1st corona death janine and their daughters nell and elaine and lorenzo didn't even get to see goodbye now that really hot. but struck was really all. mayor very hit and felt it personally her husband became critically ill but survived it was a terrible time for the families but also for us as a mayor but also all the people of my policemen and you know the people in the town

working for 24 hours a day 6 months later same treatment has the infection rate under control with strict measures father room in and says now inhabitants need to heal it's important that we share. with each other what we feel what we want or are and she thinks are the 2 but also or the. mayor here and decided to create a space for that a corner of a city park is now a memorial the theme forget me not plenty of those flower. as have been planted by city landscaper d.d.'s summers along with a tree of life and a plaque bearing a poem in the heart of. the flowers will come so yeah even when it's. it will be a little bit. beautiful. for the memorials dedication september 13th

lorenzo was asked to commemorate his beloved grandfather he told his mom nellie he was too afraid to look at life there or the were again to laugh at me. but lorenzo changed his mind and wrote a letter leave. your grandpa i miss you very much i am mad about corona mad about what happened you were dead best and always are going to be the best if you think the saying. that i was brave and that i was happy did i did it that i. throw it all out. please happy. everyone was. a grandpa. no one here will forget some.

really powerful stuff there and a great message about dealing with grief well martin i suppose and assistant professor for the department of psychology at the university of corning in the netherlands how do you deal with not being able to say goodbye. so this is this is obviously a very very difficult situation. because you thought about. able to be physically present sure when the person dies and also the funerals can be quite limited in how they are arranged not so many people can be there the example we just saw and where there's a collective ritual to deal with these losses i think that's great i think you can also creates a more private rituals with friends were people close to the deceased. to to say goodbye to cease again when it wasn't what you were able to do that well before

what is it about the pandemic what else is there that's making it so hard for people to cope with losses like they. yes well there's a there's a couple of things to consider of course not being able to say goodbye or not being able to say goodbye the way you want to just definitely while these factors but there are also. many additional stressors that people are now experiencing for instance that might. feels more difficult to get social support socially isolated only fuels would be that they're. that they're afraid to become ill themselves restricted to a house or order that they have a certain i don't last is that you have to deal with such a financial moss' with loss of jobs and likely to just you know to look sorry mum won't what are you going to say i will say i was going to say that if you look at court 19 that's the civic lee it's a different story still because people are also dealing with the sudden loss. and

loss that occurs yassar some time in intensive care during which it's really uncertain what happened and i and we know from the from side to literature these are risk factors for more security for your actions but what will happen because 10 percent of bereaved individuals sits historically typically develop problems grief disorder has cova going to change that. yeah that is indeed the case socks are for not lost due to natural causes we recently conducted the 1st quantity of study into this topic were a white with a loaded lots and what we found in a very large surveyed 1500 people is that people who experience loss to cope at 19 actually have stronger suit creaks those then people who experience natural losses such as losses due to long term illness. and their acute reveals are more or less

similar. to that experienced by people who ready ready have experienced a natural loss then we're talking about accidents murder or suicide. so so these are very strong responses and b. can expect that in the long run the problems of a long brief if he's within this specific group will open will go up and i believe you also have new findings on people grieving those who've died from other causes than corona during this pandemic yes thanks for asking yes we are we just had a paper except that on. this topic and what was really striking is that we found that people who experience loss not due to too corona and to grown apart is actually also have elevated the grief levels if the loss occurs during the pandemic but of the torah so so that really shows us that also within this group. there is

a people are experiencing more difficulties initiate dealing with the loss just in general is the internet making it any easier for people to grieve. well what you do see is that more people are meeting online and this is not really a substitute but i think i think that can be a way to stay in touch if you kind of meet face to face but i think you're you might be referred to you 'd if you have these treatments. and in that case i can say that internet based treatments are. available and in the netherlands there's also groups working on that. so there's there's people from the university of corning and people focus at university developing all i carted to behavioral treatment for long pieces were specifically for people who experienced a lot to cope with 19 cases

a very promising. modernised i thank you very much for coming on the show today. let's check in now with eric williams our science correspondent he's been looking into your questions on the coronavirus. will the developments in the creation of a vaccine for this corona virus help towards a vaccine against the corona viruses that cause the common cold. wouldn't it be great if something positive came out of this endemic like other vaccines for other coronaviruses for example or or even a universal coronavirus vaccine of some kind well that isn't possible but it's pretty unlikely any time soon with all the resources that we're throwing at a covert 19 vaccine we're learning more every day about sars cove 2 but we still have a long way to go in understanding the way that karuna viruses in general evolve and

the ways that they're transmitted and we still don't know nearly enough about what's called cross reactivity which is when the weapons your immune system produces to fight one infectious pathogen also work for others that have similar characteristics there's some evidence that cross reactivity in some people might be playing a role in how badly they get coded 19 or how easily they fight it off but it's all still very speculative one promising avenue of research for example that could help in the development of future coronavirus vaccines involves what's called the 2 domain on corona virus spikes those proteins that stick out that the virus is used to latch on to cells that they're trying to infect researchers have discovered that these s 2 domains seem to be pretty well preserved across the range of corroded viruses that in fact humans there are quite similar regardless of which one you

look at that's a great potential starting point for working on a broader coronavirus vaccine but but it's only that who knows though. maybe one day the work that we're doing to stop covert 19 might also finally help us stop it's much less deadly cousins. i for now see if it's not. true the point is strong opinions clear positions international perspectives. after days of uncertainty don't just say donald trump no longer has any coded 19 symptoms so what's behind the president's mysterious recovery and will the corona monday make decide the u.s. ally should point out on to the point shortly. to get the point. is we've got
