goods mostly. there's no loose no love blood for them when it. comes under world gives me a. hug can't sleep. closely. and smile. no deal in sight the european union is telling the u.k. government to move on their red lines for you post breaks its trade deal by minister boris johnson i'll call off the thoughts also coming up germany's industrial has a richardson court has long been struggling to stay above water now the sale of its former core business could prove to be

a lifesaver. i'm chris colfer i'm bill and welcome to the program even leaders have called on britain to quote to make the necessary moves to make a post breaks its deal possible now this demand didn't go down well with the u.k. government which is still wrangling with brussels over political and economic ties future relations without a trade deal could pose a risk to bridge business but not just to them but to companies in the e.u. as well and the brags that effect is already visible a study by the did lloyd consultancy shows that german companies u.k. revenues have dropped by almost $24000000000.00 euros since 2015 that is a fall of 6 percent not a study suggests this is largely due to the fall of the pound which is lost 15 percent against the euro zone's 2015 though it also cites indicators which point to german companies looking elsewhere for opportunities yet links to the u.k. remain strong for every 14 euro's earned by

a german company one of those is made in the u.k. and german companies have 370000 employees in britain most of them in the car industry as there is a lot riding on the rest of negotiations for both sides the topic was naturally high on the agenda of the e.u. leaders meeting last night here's what the german chancellor angela merkel had to say before heading into the summit. with onion that's great britain to continue to be willing to compromise in the sense of an agreement. that of course means that we too have to make compromises. each side has its red lines. it's important to us that ireland can continue to live in peace that we secure the internal market. in been unlocked. for more let's bring in correspondent big muslim london and gary marcus in brussels garrick let me start with you when e.u. leaders say britain needs to move on their red lines what specifically are they

referring to i would say a level playing field and in particular a state aid is one of the main sticking points here the e.u. is offering the u.k. a unique deal that hasn't been offered to any other state in the world and that is free access to u.k. goods tax free. quota free access to u.k. goods to the e.u. the internal market now in return for that they expect common standards when it comes to state aid so that there won't be unfair competition with some company in the u.k. receiving tons of money off of cash in subsidies or. cheaper tax and and then dumping their product on the market now that has been clear for a while with negotiators but it is still something the u.k. does not want to expend except pointing to the fact that they are now a sovereign country and they don't have to talk about standards with anyone bring

it over to you in london prime minister boris johnson's ultimatum on finding a deal ran out yesterday he said he would respond to the ears demands today is he going to end the talks. it seems unlikely at this point there is a joke going on in the political london when there's a deadline no deadline when it was imposed by boris johnson because it wouldn't be the fast time that he self-imposed deadline and then didn't adhere to it but of course we don't know he might just walk away we're expecting a statement in the course of the day however there's so much at stake already the u.k. economy has suffered the worst economic shock in its history by couvade and experts saying that bracks it could be even more damage and particularly in no doubt breaks it could be long term more damaging for the u.k. economy so there is definitely a lot at stake here however we know that brags it is a political project so we don't know whether boris johnson is in the end going to

listen to these economists and to these businesses and speaking of the potential damage $900000000000.00 of annual trade volume are at stake here between the u.k. and europe what companies in britain be prepared for a deal future with the e.u. . well any form of brakes it is a long term economic damage this is what experts are expecting and are sure of however. breaks it would definitely be the worst case scenario even with a deal that would be more friction at the borders that would be more paperwork so it wouldn't be the same but no deal would be particularly bad very very bad for the manufacturing industry if for example we look at the car industry a lot of high paying jobs here in the u.k. about 800000 people even more they are employing and the car industry is very very nervous already they have seen investment levels decline over the last 2 years over

concerns over breaks it but if there was no deal and if the car parts couldn't be shifted across europe as they're doing now then the mass industry the mass qantas 3 in the u.k. could effectively be wiped out and this is why business leaders here in the u.k. are really importing the prime minister to get a deal with the european union and there are better you're a compromise in brussels are also reached at the very last minute we know that could this be one of these cases. i'd say burkett is absolutely right when she says this is political if these were economic negotiations we'd be done 2 years ago but this is a lot more complicated than look i've seen a lot of haggling in brussels i've seen the last minute compromises and your member states getting their act together but i haven't seen anything like this if you take for instance the internal market bill something that really undermined the bedrock the withdrawal agreement so undermined the whole of the negotiations that have been

it reached so far that really destroyed trust trust and it made a lot of sticking other sticking points like governments like control mechanisms that need to be agreed to a lot more difficult because the e.u. now has the feeling they contrast the part that they need to make really sure that there is a supervising mechanism in place so it's a really difficult situation at this point you know your correspondents government is in brussels and big moslem london thanks to both of you. while future u.k. a german ties hang in the balance in many sectors there could be a big tie up in the steel industry u.k. metals group liberty house has made a preliminary bid for the steel operations of germany's twist in corp such a deal would see a merger of 2 of the top 4 steel producers in europe the industrial lawnmower to send crude has long been looking to exit the business due to exposure to the struggling car industry and of course the impact of the corona virus pandemic.

w. financial correspondent chelsea delaney is in frankfurt for us chelsea the steel business has long been quite tough prices are low it's difficult to make a profit what does liberty see interest in comp. well the bernie really seized his and present as a way to build scale so that they could potentially take on all of these challenges that the industry is facing and it's not just the coronavirus which has severely impacted demand for steel but it's also longer term problems they are dealing with the immense cost to transition away from. non-sustainable energy sources they are dealing with a lot of cheap imports from asia they're dealing with trade tensions on really many fronts so what these steel producers need is a lot more a lot more sales so that they can find other efficiencies and potentially be stronger competitors and that's mark at chelsea living in frankfurt thank you

it is to friends now where the government is fearing that the covert 19 crisis could create a lost generation among the young with the country's g.d.p. shrinking expected to shrink by roughly a 5th this year about $750000.00 young people are set to out of the job market this fall w.'s lisa lewis reports from the city of little where u.s. unemployment is generally 5 percentage points higher than the national average. life has been an uphill struggle for linda eunice she's from one of the poorest neighborhoods dropped out of school early and has been struggling to find a good job when the 23 year old finally signed up for training to become a can not post then suspended due to cohabit 19 and yet to date she feels blessed only got lucky i found

a joint thanks to the virus as the crisis pushed this nonprofit organization to set up a face mask i accepted their offer right away that means i can make ends meet. that's signed up for 6 months she's paid the minimum wage 80 percent of that are funded by the government the rest is covered through the state of the masks the scheme also includes regular career counseling up with. i don't like on the national. team i have says deal with problems related to how single family issues legal issues and so on it's a real advantage i think people with a proper job must be envious of what we have access to during this program and i mean a lot of these bridges. since the start of the cave 19 crisis demand for such subsidized jobs at the organization has skyrocketed especially by younger people. that even people who hand in this c.v. in person to increase their chances although that's not really unusual in the times

of the internet is also a wider spectrum of young people who apply i've got applications from graduates who have studied for up to 4 years and wouldn't normally look for that kind of job but they're scattered. apart from financing more subsidised jobs the government is also setting up new training schemes in the id and sustainable development sectors but this economist says all this doesn't tackle francis on the line problem. our young people are learning too many theoretical and not enough practical skills which leads to structural unemployment we need to really reform the articulation system from our elementary schools all the way through to university the young need to learn to think practically. linda is nevertheless convinced the scheme has allowed her to better understand what she wants in life. when series of it is unclear but i'm truly going to get both of them i don't want to do this job forever

but the counseling has helped me better define my long term project i now know what i was made for i want to work as a care worker this is. just a long she's waiting for a training course to be rescheduled so that she can one day indeed get a job as a cab and afford a flat in a nice area of need. and that's our show for now for more there's always a website or a social media feeds. thanks for watching. combating

the corona pandemic. where does research stand. what are scientists learning. background information and news. hour carona updates. covert 19 special next on d w. how does

a virus spread. why do we panic and when we'll. just 3 of the topics covered and the weekly radio show is called spectrum if you would like. information on the crown of virus or any other science topic you should really check out our podcast you can get it wherever you get your podcast you can also find us at d.f.w. dot com slash science. the race continues for a coronavirus vaccine still the highest hopes of treating infections i'm. medicines that already exist approved for other diseases or in development. it's called repurpose ing. to know that.

drugs like that. it's important to know stage a treatment is most effective medicines helpful early on when the infection is mild when there are no breathing problems could be ineffective or harmful to a patient. continue to scour their portfolios for possible solutions the world has never faced a pandemic of these proportions in a moment i'll talk to an expert from the european medicines agency 1st a look at some of the drugs that are being repurposed. anti-viral medicines were originally developed for hiv hepatitis c. influenza and 2 other coronaviruses sars and mares they're designed to stop the disease from reproducing or entering long cells anti-inflammatories are used to treat rheumatoid arthritis or inflammatory diseases they're supposed to limit the

body's defenses and severe long infestations to avoid further information which would cause more damage than the disease medicines for long complications are designed to treat idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis they help supply the patient's lungs with sufficient oxygen and help the long repair themselves cardiovascular medicines were developed to treat blood clots or heart disease they're now being used to prevent complications from covert 19. he is head of biological health threats and strategy at the european medicines agency he's a pharmacologist who spent several years in antibacterials and antifungals in preclinical and clinical development so where are we at in treating corona with repurposed medication. yeah we're seeing some important advancements in particular i think they use autism at the saw not for a treatment of a let's patients we call the 19 and with important results from the recovery study

showing the benefits to the mortality using this a medicine has an important enfants meant and will be used and also the antivirus does appear one of the 1st one to be tested in clinical trials for the treatment of corby 19 it showed that the ability of review seems at the time to recall very so the time to start from the off the gulf a chance we'd all allies to call the 19 and therefore d's are so far more significant that fast meant that we are reaching tons of dis ease i went through the various treatments before what were the most effective of these treatments. yet there's a matches on indeed as the met giving us the most impressive results so far and we really hope to see other interventions that will be as effective as this one and really the combination of different more dolly ts of treatment will be but important to be investigating the future we are proposing hoping the new 1 o'clock

on 2 bodies with that and neutralizing the activity so really acting as unto biros and probably that combination all done to bar as we say knew no more do leaders might might be the most interesting were to follow in the future it took a long time to find the right mix to treat hiv are we going to have to wait that long suppose it. we ought not to of course t.r. everything gets much more compressed in time and fortunately there are still a lot of patients out with severe copy 19 and be hospitalized and we have seen all the correctly in europe new wave all cases including similar cases so we're really all that clinical trials that are running out the moment and there are several efforts will be able to deliver you know much faster way what we need to know about what could be the best intervention here now to combine the different agents of course is very important and one of the lessons learned that we need

a lot from the mosque in the court trials and the small mentee clinical research that we've seen in the beginning part all seen europe is not really elsewhere because we need a lot of studies to tell us exactly what is 14 and which patients but instead of 3 purposing all these different drugs developed to treat different diseases what what about new therapies yet in terms of one to virus indeed the new wave of products are brand new and they cover over small molecules seem not to read that severe or indeed the zante bodies that have the potential to naturalize the virus and being badly affected by any need to be seeing this with other emerging viruses like it how they can be a really bach fooling tons of reducing the burden of disease so we are really hoping that all these new maxine's will provide really new opportunities and really be helpful in fact food in treating patients as you said the new drugs could reduce

the burden the need to hospitalizations i guess what we do need is a drug that works at all stages. absolutely in fact so we're really supporting the effort by many developers to study different drugs that different stages of the culture in 1000 p.c.'s starting really from their profile oxys impulse the sport of lux is going to treatment of mind p.c.'s in the out patient and then of course the treatment of severe copy 19 patients that i was brutalized and maybe we will need a combination of different drugs depending on the difference and point of all the seasons of all of your encouraging new therapies but why isn't more being spent on that potential vaccines have received about 6 times more funding than the therapies and we don't even know if we'll get a vaccine. i guess for what i can say is that he's believed that the vaccine could ever be the end of the day a bigger impact are on the course of the fund than mick and also in trying to contain the spread of the virus and this is what we have you learned for

a number all of our old diseases over years and decades but of course you're absolutely right that probably we need not to forget that also terp your dicks are streaming important and the efforts to be put also in that are to make sure that we have a good for all your or treatment options that cover different pharmacological activities in order to me to make sure that we can treat this one as possible in a non christian way patients with different stages of the disease from the he used top strategist michael kind of a thank you very much for your time thank you billing and hi ms germany 2nd because pharmaceuticals company was close to 6 and a half 1000 staff they're busy working on various drugs including a special covert 19 therapy. these antibodies may be invisible to the human eye but they could play a vital role in neutralizing the corona virus scientists in the laboratories and

bieber half say they are developing new treatments as fast as they can. we are generating antibodies to bind with the virus and prevent it from infecting other cells and the human body in fact. so these antibodies are designed to catch the virus after it has entered the body yet before it can do any damage. this science in a persuade b. a is brewing in in the himes largest research and development center the head of the german division says the prospects for b. are good. by we are in the middle of the process of building up our team and our workforce and we expect a slight increase in personnel over the next few years and always does i mean by taking in. another approach to fighting the coronavirus is the in-house molecular library the so-called treasure troves these shelves contain over

a 1000000 different chemical substances the accumulated knowledge of the pharmaceutical giant researchers are investigating whether these substances are suitable for treating some of the effects of covert 19 the scientist said person or have joined 36 other pharmaceutical companies and research institutes around the world to form a consortium to fight the corona virus. if we can work together and we can pull the best information from each contributor and that is precisely the goal of the consortium to bring together all the experts and move forward quickly. but it could take years before an anti coronavirus drug is approved the scientists at berlinger in the heim say it's too early to speculate about a possible release date. time to look at the viewer questions that have been coming in oh now you to channel is there williams. it's covered

19 now endemic. when i read this question i thought ok it's time to talk about the elephant in the room the fact that despite all of our fondest hopes this virus is not going to fizzle out and go away 1st let's define the way we're using the word here is and it's epidemiological sense which. describes when an infection is more or less constantly present in the background within a specific population and geographic region but it also implies that it's in a kind of steady state which hope in $1000.00 is not at the moment it's still spreading fast and furiously in many places all over the planet one of 2 things could happen next when enough people build up immunity to it through infection or vaccination covert 19 could become an endemic disease or it could just

apparently burn itself out and disappear like sars dead but not that's not going to happen in other words at this point if we could say that the disease wasn't dead that we'd actually be farther along the road towards returning to life as usual that we are it would mean covert 900 was no longer out of control but was a disease we had tools to cope with we'll develop those tools eventually just like we did with aids and influenza in fact probably a lot faster but but wiping the virus out entirely at this point would take a massive planet wide strategy like the one that wiped out smallpox and has nearly vanished polio but projects like that take high levels of cooperation between nations and they take time so covert 19 is going to be with us for the forseeable future but to some extent at least for how long will depend on us. humans on the other ones going through difficult times during the pandemic some
