not clean it up. this is the degree of business i'm take ferguson thanks for joining me. one company's loss is another's gain shares in snapshots parent company are up 33 percent after the company attracted the highest ever number of advertisers to its platform in the 3rd quarter the surge came after more than a 1000 companies boycotted facebook for its stance on political speech and content moderation during the summer other platforms like pinterest twitter and guess even facebook itself also rallied people spend more time on their devices during the pandemic. so was the advertising boycott all for show lets business correspondent caught it in new york hi yes companies were very quick to distance themselves from facebook back in july but

a lot of them seem to have quietly returned to the company what are we to make about. i mean that's clearly the message from snap and you already mentioned the huge stock increase was that actually the co-founders the 2 co-founders of purse of snap got about $3000000000.00 richer just within one day but also other social media companies are hoping that ties in is returning at least on wall street if you look at the stock prices of facebook of twitter also pinterest i'm all of those had a mess of against them in the wednesday session so yes it looks like it's are back for those companies and social media companies in general have come under a lot of scrutiny in recent times what do they have to do to keep advertisers on board. well in general probably spend more to

make sure that everything is sound and proof was content on those sites but i personally wouldn't interpret too much in those numbers when it comes to the scrutiny of social media companies are one big reason why ads got pulled in spring was actually that was the pen demick a lot of companies were struggling they had to cut cost and so they also cut spending so that was an extra reason and i've followed social media companies for so long and there has been so much scrutiny and so much criticism but overall the subscriber numbers keep growing and also all overall companies besides what happened this spring have been pretty patient was those companies and even in spring when some companies pulled their ads because of criticism they already announced that this is probably only

a temporary measure and that seems to be the case it was a temporary so overall the site's all what's going on with the criticism all the discussions about social media companies and the content on their sites. subscribers and also the company's soul the business world seems to be rather patient they just keep getting back against collective thanks a lot. american drug maker pera do pharma has agreed to plead guilty to criminal charges related to its role in the us opioid epidemic the company which makes the addictive prescription painkiller oxycontin has admitted to charges of defaulting the united states and violating the food drug and cosmetic act prosecutors have fined produce over $8000000000.00 but most of it will go unpaid because the company is bankrupt.

e.u. countries have reached an agreement on agricultural reforms under the proposed changes farmers must adopt environmental practices in exchange for direct payments from the e.u. the e.u. agricultural policy covers the next 7 years and is worth almost 400000000000 euros environmentalist say it doesn't go far enough. the 27 you member states worked late into the night to reach an agreement the main point of contention was linking the payment of agricultural subsidies to environmental practices. that's highest in the does. it ultimately means that environmental and climate protection are also being taken into account even though those services for the common good don't automatically increase yield or company

income test us that agriculture forms the largest part of the e.u.'s budget. it represents around $58000000000.00 euros annually so far those funds have been distributed into 2 separate programs more than $40000000000.00 euros are direct payments linked to the size of each farm the other $17000000000.00 euros are earmarked for rural development environmental protection and animal welfare and the new provision which includes more than $8000000000.00 euro is in direct payments starting in 2023 will be linked to climate friendly measures. critics say the new measures don't go far enough. this decision doesn't help the agricultural sector at all it doesn't help the environment we have to start making payments based on the size of the land and start basing it on what's being done for the environment according to the e.u. agricultural minister's proposal more than half of all subsidies would continue to be distributed based on land ownership alone and not on climate protection measures

. greater manchester one of the u.k.'s biggest urban areas is to enter a new lockdown on friday the order was opposed by the local mayor who successfully fought for a 60000000 and relief package for businesses affected by the restrictions britain has been especially hard hit by the pandemic with 44000 people having lost their lives. manchester is going back into lockdown on the orders of prime minister barak johnson and against the will of the city's mayor burnham from friday there will be strict limits on going out and pubs restaurants and most shops will close in the goshi ations with the government we were prepared to reduce our request to 75000000 . even with the path to go even lower. $65000000.00 is the bare minimum to prevent. real hardship here is what we believe we need

it to prevent poverty to prevent hardship to prevent homelessness. the lockdown will hit the working class city of manchester particularly hard as many monk unions live in poverty and unemployment was high even before the pandemic other cities in the north are also affected. earlier we have the restrictions the in those areas where there is only instance the better for the economy of those areas because we stop the infection spreading in a way which will do further damage to the economy. infections are rising dramatically in wales scotland and northern ireland as well lockdowns are also planned in these regions local authorities are angry but the government insists it's necessary to stop the virus affecting the whole country. now how do you keep schools and restaurants open during a pandemic without increasing the risk of getting infected it airing at rooms

regularly is supposed to help keep aerosols in check but what to do when it gets really cold some companies are already working on another high end filtration systems to combat the coronavirus are selling fast germany's talks company produces air filters in their factory near the dutch border these covert 1900 filtration systems help reduce the coronavirus an indoor spaces by filtering out the aerosols site is enough demand for these machines is very high these days with us we're not just producing them here in our main headquarters last week we also finished training new colleagues in the zaragoza spain in england switzerland and the city of bod has felt the slides and i was but he also talks his main business is ventilation in air conditioning systems and it has 4000 employees worldwide like its competitors talk seize the opportunity to meet the fast growing new demand for air for. systems it now plans to ramp up production to $500.00 units per week we

need 2 months to develop a system normally our development times are much longer but it's made of components we already have on hand from other products we make. the air purifiers are being used in schools and public buildings there's even one in the north kitchen palace in months and the use that to purify the air in the palace restaurant. even during the summer season with all the beautiful days on the terrace and the beautiful weather we were thinking about what has to happen next no one really knew what was going to happen we still don't know so we started looking at all the technical possibilities. the restaurant owners counting on the heap of shelters working as promised he has to because he can't open the windows and invests you're making investments so that our guests feel comfortable and feel feel confident about our hygiene concept. still the air purifier is just the 1st step in getting the virus

out of the air. as. it's a quick fix for using the risk of infection inside buildings in the long term we need an air exchange system which introduces fresh air into the room while removing some of the inside air and all. that would be even more sustainable i couldn't find enough to go to get done the long term solution is more complex and more expensive so people are scrambling for air filtration systems that can cost anywhere between 3020000 euros. and that's all from me thanks so much for watching.

please pass to silence in the. ranks it is threatening friends and languages family business like many english sheep farmers their business depends on european explorers without a free trade agreement with the e.u. that could soon be over just like the future of farmers in their seat only time will tell. on europe. in 60 minutes w. . william had
