go high ranking officers of the nazi regime or you're going to put in our forces. with the 1st criminals to be held accountable for their crimes for. comparison by that army now come on. rude our parents. pressure of. our 2 part series the 3rd reich the dog starts nov 12th on g.w. . and that talking again britain says it's ready to resume talks with the e.u. this as the u.k. reports the highest debt to g.d.p. ratio in 60 years as a struggles to get the coronavirus infections under control also coming up the i.m.f. warns often rising poverty and social on breasting asia urging governments to tackle

growing inequality. welcome to d.w. business i want to get jones in berlin good to have you with us. and the british pound rose 1.7 percent against the u.s. dollar its biggest jump since march that of course as britain and the european union move back to the negotiating table now that move comes after the chief negotiator offered asked london put it all if branch it's a last ditch attempt to strike a deal to avoid a messy breakup at the end of the year only a few days ago british prime minister boris johnson threatened to quit talks on unless the bloc offered a quote fundamental change in policy. and all of this comes as u.k. government borrowing is source amid the coronavirus pandemic taking public debt to its highest level since 1960 and the increase borrowing to total public debt above the 2 trillion pound. or 103.5 percent of g.d.p.

though in comparison germany's finance minister expected to make up just 75 percent of by the end of the year the european union as a whole is still fairing better than britain if only just was dead predicted to reach 96 percent of g.d.p. by the end of the year that's according to e.u. statistics however the dual challenges of the pandemic and breaks it certainly weighing heavily on the island nation and for more on that let's bring in hoggish meeting chief economist ed to bear him back bank good day to you let's start with brakes and 1st of all we know that talks were stalled and i just mentioned that the british prime minister had threatened to walk away from talks unless the e.u. would sort of change fundamentally fundamentally change its policy that talking again so what's changed fundamentally then. i don't think that anything has really changed fundamentally but both sides seem to have realized that the message of

course is not what they should be going for so both sides seem to have reassured each arthel that they are ready to make some compromises but the compromises probably still have to be made to go through the very fact that both sides are talking again is a positive it means that the chance of actually getting at the and hence an orderly instead of a message because that chance is no probably 50 percent at least of course nobody wants and needs a messy divorce now especially when we look at the coronavirus pandemic everybody is going into debts that we also saw but while even member states can hopefully rely on brussels for some support britain can't a bigger problem is that for the economy there. that is actually not a problem for britain britain remains one of the stronger economies in europe despite brics it if they don't get the brics it completely wrong then the british economy should be able to grow enough in coming years to start we kucing 1st the

fiscal deficit and then hopefully the debt again the key is that britain in the future opposed to school policies which are good for economic growth and hence good for tax revenues higher brix it that is losing access privileged access to the e.u. market would of course make that more complicated all right in the meantime however we still have the pandemic and there are more lock downs to come in britain being hardest hit by the or sudden one of the hardest hit countries by the pandemic where is the silver lining right now. in the pandemic there is no clear silver lining at the moment but we do have the experience from the us and also from europe that for me the rise in infection is followed only by a much more modest lies in serious medical complications than in march and april also we have had medical progress we have the experience from april may that the

1st wave of the pandemic was brought under control so we know what needs to be done and probably the measures that are being implemented now will make a difference after obeid you write a fairly optimistic call this meeting there from their big bank thank you so much you're welcome thank you. now staying in britain and the north of england there is particularly hard hit by the pandemic there one lock down seems to blend into another hurting the local economy and now greater manchester shut down yet again. manchester is going back into lockdown on the orders of prime minister barak johnson and against the will of the city's mayor andy burnham from friday there will be strict limits on going out and pubs restaurants and moshav will close in the goshi ations with the government we were prepared to reduce our request to $75000000.00 and we even were prepared to go even lower $65000000.00 is the

minimum to prevent. when real hardship here is what we believe we needed 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. another problem is

rising inequality across asia that could finance social unrest and push tens of millions into extreme poverty the international monetary fund has warned the i.m.s. asia pacific region economic outlook predicts this is regional growth at minus 2.2 percent the organization want to that asian governments must take urgent action to put in place a social safety net it's ific region as inequality in asia had been rising even before the crisis and the pandemic is hitting those at the bottom even harder than the rest robot ization which is already well advanced in asia may displace even more lower skilled workers going forward the resulting higher levels of inequality could even lead to social unrest. well for more on that i'm joined by executive director of the asia pacific chief economist at i.h.s. market in singapore good to have you with us we've already seen farmers and what

has protesting in india in indonesia people protesting against the royal system in thailand and beijing's actions in hong kong the whole region seems to be in aprile you as an economist how worried are you about that i think clearly this year has been the worst year for decades for the region because of the impact of the pandemic and particularly because of severe lock downs in many countries around the region so we'll be here of negative growth but we do expect quite a reasonable rebound next year 1st of all china is already growing quite well in the 3rd quarter we saw just a few days ago that chinese g.d.p. is growing by just around 5 percent year on year in the 3rd quarter and we see also in the economic data that many other countries are rebounding so next year should be a year of positive growth as long as vaccines are available right and are beginning

to be rolled out but the problem is that the issues of inequality remain very severe this year it's been there before as we were told by the m.f. inequality is a problem that seems to be ongoing and growing and the i.m.f. study says the governments must take action but what exactly can they do. well what we've seen this year is that in many of the lower income countries in a shop. millions of people have lost their jobs in the informal sector and also in formal charges as well and many of these low income countries don't have the social welfare and that set don't have the fiscal ability to fund such welfare systems as say in europe so there's been extreme economic shocks for the lowest income people and i think this year we've seen going to see a huge increase in poverty so hundreds of millions of people will probably be who

wish to enter poverty by the pandemic and the lock down ok that's a business their executive director and i mock taking in singapore thank you so much. thanks. the coronavirus pandemic as we just heard has hit several sectors including the gunman sect in asia many enterprises there have had to lay off workers because of plummeting retail sales in key export markets like europe and the americas a 2nd lockdown was closed retail shops is the biggest here in asia these workers just outside the jordanian capital amman are lucky they still have a job most of the 76000 workers in the garment sector here are migrants from bangladesh pakistan and syria they know if they lose their jobs they'll have nothing there's hardly any assistance from the government. we're seeing are temporary in some cases permanent factory closures so many workers for actually

left without work and in many cases without income and those factory that reopened they did not we were going to full capacity some some were actually not called back to the factory you have also seen reductions regis and. comments will. many workers have accepted pay cuts of 20 percent and more to keep their jobs they all know friends who were fired and who are still waiting for up to 6 months of pay not knowing if they'll ever get their salary experts are calling for international assistance. and what needs to be done to support workers and enterprises during this crisis and the international coordination on stimulus packages and that relief measures we need to be very central to this in ensuring that the recovery is nobody affected but sustainable especially for lower income countries that have humans and fiscal space in jordan the garvan industry is the largest export sector it accounts

for almost a 3rd of all exports sluggish demand abroad hurts the country and most of all these workers. and quickly a look at some of the global business stories making news. tesla has reported its fits quarterly profit in a row along with a record revenue of $8800000000.00 the stronger formants was driven by an increase in vehicle deliveries and sales of environmental regulatory credits to other comics . and the home a truck a symbol of the gas guzzling excess that predated the 2008 recession has been reserved acted as an electric super truck the new green version is set to go into production late next year. that's your business update on g.w. from me and the g m a villain thanks for watching. combating

the corona pandemic. where does research stand. what are scientists learning. background information and. our corona. coded 19 special on d w. in the. climate change.

good summer service 6. years today how far the future of. the dot com for the mega city. guests click the shutter. island. we've been told what to watch out for fever. a loss of taste or smell a dry cough just some of the symptoms. but the effects of covert 19 on the body can go well beyond those and run much deeper a disease that begins in the lungs can have a profound impact on many parts of the body for some the effects can be long

lasting. and the wrong many people since it was what we called a lot of people are having health consequences after they are all of us wish to recover from the infection most covert patients recover within weeks but some have been living with the effects for months exactly how long it can last we have yet to find out could covert 1000 be a disease from which some of us never fully recover. and this is the w.'s covert 19 special hello and welcome to the show i'm stephen beardsley in berlin 26 weeks that's the typical recovery time for a covert 1000 patient at least according to the world health organization but after all researchers are trying to figure out why some patients experience the disease more seriously and suffer more long term consequences is the story of one such case . eric alderman is struggling to return to normal life the 51 year old was infected with couvade 19 in march it started with a cold and a bad cough and then

a trip to the emergency room he was in an artificial coma for 2 and a half months now he's being treated at a neurological rehab clinic in the southern german town if. he has to relearn everything walking talking even how to set up or if they can have their father had no preexisting conditions. nothing. i came straight out of the blue. i hadn't been abroad i hadn't been on a ski trip. my friends were fine. well i just don't know how i got it. hall. alderman is a sports reporter for a newspaper helping him get through all this is positive attitude and the support from his family his wife and his 4 children. 3 pastoral it was

touch and go oh. there were times when i i almost didn't make it. they are hard. then you all are just treating aardman doctor friedly from rosen diagnosis or rebuild their dysfunction which can be directly attributed to the 1000 virus he also has car tissue on his lungs and no one knows if he'll ever recover from. it we see patients who developed weak hearts which they never previously suffered from we see patients with liver impairment which only slowly returns to normal function we see patients with distinct muscle paralysis due to nerve damage which only gradually heals us to see others whose muscle paralysis quickly subsides so we see quite a wide variety of symptoms affecting different organs. or gone. research on the illness is going on everywhere including at the clinic in nuremberg in the

meantime it's become clear that the virus does attack the brain it can even cause strokes and make a person's immune system overreact. it's an illness that in many respects is unique and we learn new things every week and every month about it and will only be able to look back in a few years in order to say what we've done right and what we've done wrong. 10 percent of patients have a hard time with this disease just like eric alderman has 90 percent to recover even if it does take some time. eric all those wife told us recently that her husband continues to make progress since the story was filmed and can now feed himself again speaking and walking remain difficult however the good news is that he has been relocated to a clinic much closer to the family's home or let's talk about more about recovery times with yon higgs he's a special for pulmonary medicine co-leader the post covert $1000.00 clinic at the

university of hamburg medical center thank you for joining us is there such a thing as postcode syndrome. well apparently there is right so we have reports of. thousands of patients reporting long term effects after the disease ranging. from t. mental problems but also restlessness so yes we have to say there seems to be something like that. are we talking about the damage from a serious case of covert for example of lung damage your heart damage or are we talking about an ongoing pathology for example some people saying that they're smell and taste go again months later. that's the that's the basic paradigm so that the virus is causing cellular damage and these this damage then translate into long term effects and long term problems but there seems to be an additional

component to that that is not just explained by the direct cellular damage that we have to figure out and we know from many viral diseases that there are long term effects there convalescence coming along. might be neural problems so what we really have to figure out now is what specific to the virus what's the visual but nevertheless i mean we we have probably thousands i mean given the. 40000000 infected people we probably have hundreds of thousands of people with. patients of lung covered so that's going to be a real burden to our health care systems and we have to figure out a way to see these patients are clearly going to have them what are the common symptoms or conditions that we're seeing that might be loved under long covert. well basically we're seeing a whole variety of symptoms so you might even call it a syndrome because basically the most commonly reported symptom seems to be for

teak but short of breath headache joint pain. i read so muscle pain so there's a lot of things but also we have anxiety we have a cognitive impairment so that is really a whole variety of plethora of symptoms that we're dealing with and that makes it so difficult to basically. treat the patients well because it is i mean we need a lot of specialists to really take care of the patients at the beginning of the study a 2 year study i have to ask you even though you're at the beginning do you have any sort of results or any sort of trends that you're seeing right now that are applicable to how we look at long coven. obviously since we just started a couple of weeks ago we don't have any solid data and that is basically the main problem we're dealing with all around the world in. long covert so what

we're seeing is which is interesting so the disease in our core is not associated naturally with the severity of the acute infection so we have patients who are totally fine now after as you showed in your in your and movie in had a severe disease with acute london damage and still they recovered completely so now the lung function are totally normal the patients are feeling better than ever but on the other hand we have they have seen pinned patients with mild disease who are doing terrible right now they can't recover and are really they're unable to work so that is a big problem and we don't know how that belongs together but others have shown that basically women seem to be at higher risk to have more severe long it if you're older you seem to be at risk to have long coated but really we have to find out what's going on and that's why we're trying to investigate for 2 years how

these symptoms evolve and how. how we can help patients best at the beginning of this pandemic 1000 was really described as a respiratory illness based on what we know now how would you describe it. well it certainly starts in the lungs and we know that in fact the blood vessels and the kidney as a main target of the acute disease but from the long term symptoms the long term effects it seems to be a syndrome so it seems to really affect every part of the body so far the muster system the cognitive system even the psyche is part of it so. it is it is something that we really have to be really have to look into how this is. how we can help these patients and really how we actually are able to see all these patients because this might delay them these patients might be in the hundreds of thousands or a on her legs at university homburg medical center thank you so much thank you

thanks very. and now it's time for your questions it's the part of the show where our science correspondent derrick williams as the questions you've posted for you tube channel over to derek. if you're diagnosed with coverage 19 and a recovering at tire what measures should you take to prevent your family from catching it as well the last thing you want to do if you catch cove at 19 is give it to your friends or family unfortunately that can prove challenging if you live in the same household on the positive side the evidence we have so far indicates that after your symptoms appear with every day that passes you're likely grows less infectious though it's still grinding its way through studies at least currently we think that maximum infectiousness hits around the 1st day that you show symptoms if not before so if you tested positive after you developed symptoms and are now

convalescing at home and the people around you have tested negative then the likelihood you'll infect them should as a rule drop by the day here's what authorities recommend you do 1st no visitors of course and both you and caregivers should wear masks and any interactions even if it's hard stay as isolated as you possibly can preferably in your own room with a window that can remain open if temperatures permitted door closed try to only eat there as well a dedicated set of silverware and plates is a good idea if you have the option in your home of multiple bathrooms and toilets then dedicate one to your use limit contact with caregivers if at all possible they really should belong to a high risk group they'll need to disinfect regularly leave any dirty laundry or bed linens unwashed for as long as possible and finally don't forget that

caregivers will. also need to quarantine for as long as health authorities require even if that means long after your own symptoms have improved. science correspondent their claims there don't forget that you can post your questions to derek on our you tube channel and if you'd like to keep up the latest developments in the crowd of virus to subscribe to our newsletter just log on to be dot com slash kuroda dash newsletter. that's all for us thanks for watching.
