spree. a measure found them on. going. pear new year's eve frasier. our 2 part series the 3rd right the dog starts nov 12th on g.w. . it's been a roller coaster i have to downturn and a sharp rebound economy in germany france spain and other european countries regain ground in the 3rd quarter but out ground me get it way. also on the show last making that in and struggling to deliver south african state power utility as condo members 3rd quarter results let's just say they're less than electrified. berlin's new international airport is finally opening tomorrow

but with the pandemic suffocating air travel tons of it is now telling its pilot trainees to find other jobs. this is v.w. business. and thanks for joining us fresh figures out today show that many countries in europe have bounced back sharply from a pandemic induced downturn good news yes but there is more than meets the eye germany has seen a healthy in g.d.p. growth of 8.2 percent in the 3rd quarter. while neighboring france says its economy grew over 18 percent between july and september look at those numbers because the thing with them is that they come both after massive drops earlier in the year meaning the economies are not yet back to their preplanned demick levels germany for one forecasts its economy will shrink by 5 and a half percent for the whole year france expects its growth for the year to be

negative 2 down 11 percent for all of 2020 now earlier we spoke to maria de merits is from bruegel that's a think tank in brussels she offers this analysis. well there is an interconnection between managing the disease and managing the economy so i think the priority right now is certainly to support the hospital so they can they can help at this situation they can monitor the situation in some countries belgium where i live at the situations are really saturated in the hospital so i think that that would be the number one priority now beyond not is there is the add there is other other things that we need to manage on the whole that is the schools i think that's crucial that schools remain open as they possibly can because this can be a surgeon inequality at the end of this month then again the schools may remaining open is absolutely crucial then after that is is indeed they kaname and the sectors that have been hits at the most if we can sustain people in employment that would

be at a very important thing to try and protect and then of course after that there is issues of protecting you know mental health we're seeing that mental health issues are becoming a lot more extreme in the in the hours of the shutdown so we need a package of things that will sustain both the health situation as well as the economy at the same time and brutally health of our citizens. south africa's state energy firm eskom has finally presented its results for the last financial year but 3 months later the beleaguered south african power company lost over $1200000000.00 for the year ending march 31st the delay in the numbers was due to payment irregularities surrounding the construction of its new power station the new plant has contributed significantly to eskom mounting debt which it is struggling to repay public allegations of mismanagement and corruption have prompted him to say

it is on a mission to restore trust. ellis van gelder is our south correspond a south africa correspondent excuse me and joins us now ellis to say this is a poor showing from eskom is an understatement if there a way forward. no definitely there is an understatement in new mexico americans say they're very disappointed i mean the cost for a. plant you mentioned. 3 times than initially pads and it was also the case for another power so is that really means that escrow has a tough time now to start servicing is that ready skyrocketing. now eskom said today it will have to either increase electricity prices or get more bailouts from the government which of course would come at the expense of south african taxpayers it seems that either way the citizens are on the hook. yes they are they are because i mean did they have to find

a way to get more money because they are they are the main provider of electricity in south africa i don't think it is raising prices of course the people here are not going to be happy about it so the economy is already struggling and point is up spending power is down as well because of the growing up and then make as i think that will meet a lot of resistance and also bill outs will probably have to happen again not just feeling that it's taxpayers' money that's going into a black hole and that's also because there's been so much mismanagement and corruption in the nasscom you also saw the government build out south african airways is basically that for an airline 461840 1000000 u.s. dollars so so def records are definitely wondering where is the money going and should it be better spent now perhaps because it has been such a black hole as he said south africa's biggest cities are preparing to source their own power so away from ascot what would that mean for ascot. well of course it

will mean it will lose revenue and very is what they need on the other hand there's a lot of municipalities that they're actually defaulting into painter and they're getting tricity bills that's a massive problem here and so many big cities like to has been came to town are now digging up repairing their own energy. for example in solar energy so it's a good move into renewable energy while most of the energy that comes from the state utility ass come is coal and so yeah they are basically saying look at mainly in the west and paper i am in cape town like eskom constantly lights on we've seen a lot of power outages so we are just going to do it ourself and create also a better business environments for investors for example that want to have. mainly if it looks if you look at our so i did i maybe maybe it's good for exco because moment might be a wake up call you know to be competition and so maybe don't start managing the

company better a wake up call for eskom after it has had so many thank you very much alison gallagher there in south africa for us thousands of businesses across the world have been for forced to close as the crow in a virus crisis into profits however there have been some winners the rice processing women of color contango are in the niger state of nigeria business is thriving. that's a be done june and is 1 of the few beneficiaries of the coronavirus she's a rice producer in the nigerian federal state of niger nigeria's border closure due to the pandemic has prevented rice imports and that sent the price of rice here soaring by 40 percent as a cooperative member sabi has access to specialized rice processing equipment a stone separator steamer and parboiling facilities my plan is too good that is what india are women i went through what do we are going through now so i had dared

feeling. to know how did i help then to come up with that their problem that is the main reason until 4 years ago the local women had to produce the rice in their own kitchens but they couldn't earn any money with those methods moca to know. at that time we were selling our milled rice at the old market. then it was impossible to make sales of 20009 in a week no matter how hard we labored. by the time we deducted our expenses. we were left with nothing to know who we are. now the women can turn out 10 times their previous volumes they take turns at processing to minimize the risk of coronavirus infection the co-operative is supported by the nigerian state and the un's international fund for agricultural development. it's a whopping 9 years late berlin's new international airport is finally scheduled to

open on saturday the project was initially estimated to cost 1700000000 euros but the final bill is over 3 times that amount for airport was designed for $27000000.00 annual visitors but with a grand opening in the middle of the global pandemic it's estimated the new airport will operate at only 20 percent capacity next month. for years tons of in-house flight academy has been a steady supplier of recruits for the flight deck but with a pandemic wreaking havoc in the aviation industry the future of the flag carrier is training center hangs in the balance. soaring frees a bird over a picturesque scenery lucas' time is often looked at these images of the last ounce of pilot training program a new u.s. . technology the 22 year old should be sitting in the cockpit himself right now

a year ago he began following his dream of becoming a pilot and looked on says european flight academy braman. but instead of flying a plane he's packing moving boxes with his girlfriend in march looked on suspended the training program around 700 young people are now in limbo. ok in my 1st they said the program would continue in may then in september then in january next year is the end of this because the outlook is so uncertain i've run out of time we have to give up this apartment as we can't pay the rent anymore. for us this means that this chapter for us in braman where i was in flight training and my girlfriend was studying that chapter is closed for now. germany's largest airline is on life support because of the coronavirus pandemic and have to be rescued by 9000000000 euro bailout package. at least half of the jets are still grounded. head of the of tons of flight school is stefan cannon shy

he says the airline already has a surplus of 1000 pilots. under board is that if we haven't got our offer and we're quite open with the students about this is that the outlook for future pilots is very very bad right there of 2 to the pandemic the economic situation of love tonsil is very bad every month we're losing $500000000.00 euros and it's our responsibility to tell the students this very openly and honestly with. the flight students were advised to hold their training otherwise they would owe 80000 euros after graduation without the usual job guarantee. lucas's father is speechless at how things have gone he's been a lot on suppliers himself for 32 years. not a card it's almost like coercion so you're saying if i stop sign this germination agreement then everything is fine. but if i really want to fulfill my dreams then this company wants a pile of money from me i don't like it it's unfair. regardless

lucas is determined to realize his dream job even if right now he's not sure how to do it. i wish they'd say something to us like if you start training again you'll be the ones we take or at least our test scores will be recognized and. but this guarantee has not materialized the coronavirus pandemic has dashed another set of dreams the dream of flying for the student pilots. and that's all for me and the d w the 15 here in berlin for a warrant to check out. this our follow us. thank you for watching.
