tragic challenger, joe biden is inching closer to the white house fighting leads president trump, and most of the key u.s. states that remain undeclared, the most recent development in georgia, where biden is narrowly ahead. they say they are expecting, a recount according to associated press figures being used by d.w., a win in either state, put spinal in the oval office. you're watching news in berlin. i'll be back at the top of the hour. was the 1st international tribunal in history. the nuremberg trials, 75 years ago, high regime officers of the nazi regime. or you judge it by the allied forces, were the 1st criminals to be held accountable for their crimes. but

now i am, i'm going rudolf hess right here. our 2 part series, the 3rd reich, the dog starts nov 12th on d w. what a week for market stops around the world decides they need a breather from the rally of the last few days as they count continues in the us election. also coming up 2020 has been a turbulent year for the aviation industry around the world. airlines and even airports are on the brink of collapse. and to that all, there are all important races, the one to find a back seat against the coronavirus. we look at where determined by attacks are

looking to test their candidate city w. business. i'm joined now on in berlin. thanks very much for joining us. the u.s. presidential election continues to be front of mind for investors around the world . wall street opened lower on friday after democrat joe biden picked up leaves in key states and traders held their breath. stocks in hong kong edged up slightly while shanghai slipped and european stock markets, france. the cac and germany's dax both ended the week lower. looking beyond today, however, some investors at least say they relish the possibility of improved international trade relations. in the next 4 years, we ask the band, laga is the chairman of the european parliament's committee on international trade . how a byte and presidency would influence transatlantic business ties. i'm sure that

mr. change the attitude of trepidations. he mentioned quite clearly that he would stick to the much better system. busy that he could give a more emphasis to the w t o. but in conflicts through the road based system of cause possibilities to place in our partnership. but it's also clear because of our, you know, that's it, different situation, some areas of competition and regarding different interests, that would be no possibility to have a comprehensive trade agreement likely to fight in the teeth in the decisions. let's take a brief look at what else is going on in the business world away from the u.s. elections. jobs numbers show that u.s. employers added 638000 jobs in october, keeping a job growth on pace,

but not enough so far to regain most of the jobs that went during the pandemic. when 22000000 people lost their jobs, this brings the unemployment rate to 6.9 percent for october. the u.s. federal reserve has pledged to use its full range of tools to shore up the economy . fed chair jerome powell described the outlook of the u.s. economy as extraordinarily uncertain. he said more stimulus might be needed in the months ahead to counter a rise in coronavirus cases. general motors is recovering from the pandemic hit with a rebound in demand for it, chevrolet and cadillac vehicles. the detroit auto maker reported a 72 percent jump in earnings for the 3rd quarter, fueling a strong rise in g.m. stock price. turning now to $1.00 of the sectors that most affected by the

pandemic aviation, as you'd expect. it's not just the airlines that have been suffering airports 2 are facing a crisis. let's take a frankfurt airport. one of europe's major hops, 154000000 passengers move through its terminals and the 1st 9 months of last year. this year it was just a 3rd of that number. air cargo is another source of revenue for airports. it hasn't actually fallen very dramatically in frankfurt. that could be because it has dedicated cargo handling facilities. munich though, has seen a much deeper drop in cargo. one likely reason, the bulk of cargo shipments to the airport and $29000.00 came on passenger planes. and of course, it's not just europe that's suffering airports around the world, we're expecting to see revenue losses of between 55 and 64 percent in 2028. that's according to airport council international with trucks, which tracks airport economics. now we asked sebastian me cos he's the senior vice

president at the international air transport association, what governments need to do to support the sector. there are those 2 elements. one is to focus on reopening markets, the business model of airlines and of the whole airline eco system is not to spend time asking governments or shareholders for money. that's not the business we are in. we are in the business of carrying people and goods from point a to point to be. so the 1st focus should be on what we are advocating for, i say yet that is on introducing testing measures to stop quarantines that will allow the industry to start their recovery. but the 2nd is, of course, provided the current situation and provided that airlines have just no possibility of running a business. by the way, there are other businesses which are in a very similar situation to ours. then we will continue asking governments for financial support and to be very for this financial support was provided already at

the large scale because it's more than $160000000000.00 throughout 2020, dead were already provided in different forms in for that. so, you know, we are not here to to have a business of asking for money. so will our top priority is really, really to start flying in a predictable way. the coronavirus cast that shadow over every aspect of life everywhere. for 7 long months, venezuelans have been banned from the beach. the government closed them as a protective measure as part of its national lockdown. but the ban was lifted recently and sun hungry venezuelans have been returning to soak up some sun, sand and salty air. douglas, in reality, has been waiting for this moment since march. he's back in business with his beach chairs during the lockdown. he managed to squeak by with some side jobs, but only just barely feel happy.

i thank god, mainly because those were 7 hard months. 7 months that well, you really have to hustle and thank god i have a little garden where i've been known as an plantings nor work around some odd jobs in bricklaying. and that was it. it was 7 hard months. for carhart, a car here, the beach is certainly a welcome change for most visitors. it distracts them from the problems plaguing their country. and as well as economy was already crippled. and then the pandemic it, this year it's predicted to fall by another 26 percent. thanks to the lock down, unemployment continues to rise with no stop in sight. that's why is that pinto is happy about the rollback of corona restrictions. she can finally get out again and

sell her in pain yachters type of fried pastry from a stand again. where the owner of the beach was not just a breath of fresh air. that means the whole world in the sky and the stars because you know, this is where you can make a living not to get rich. but you can find a way to make up for what you don't have to cation is on the beach. i mean that local vendors can, once again put good food on their own tables and maybe even a treat besides the world is racing to find a vaccine against the corona virus. germany's biotech is leading the way while another german firm cura back is also developing a promising vaccine candidate. both have turned to south america to carry out their tests. peru was one of the 1st testing grounds for german vaccine manufacturing, cure back. but residents of limits, the livest, a slum, pay

a little heed. they're more concerned with just getting through the pandemic. get a law, you don't even get the corona emergency support from our government. it's the same for everyone here. they've forgotten us. but peru is not alone as a focus for covert 1000 vaccine testing. most major producers have set up shop in south america, and many are testing in brazil. in sao paolo hundreds of people and rolled in a study by germany's minds based beyond tech and us giant pfizer. the volunteer test subjects were given the candidate vaccine or a placebo. they aren't allowed to speak to us, nor are they paid, but many hope the vaccine will protect them. also be able to suppress aren't only hospital workers. there are also ordinary brazilians who have to get up early and spend hours on the bus or subway to get to work, but are by their. brazil has the 2nd highest number of coronavirus deaths worldwide,

but to the people in the study see themselves as guinea pigs. they need of course, there's a risk. it's unavoidable if you want to test the vaccine. results on the vaccines efficacy could be available soon by antec study in brazil is further along than most other vaccine trials. also, activity there was give us if we think this vaccine will be effective, it will probably be one of the most important plaques ins worldwide. by on text vaccine candidate could receive approval before the end of the year. but cure or vaccine candidate will likely need more time to begin based companies. also conducting a field study in panama. the country's high local infection rates are helping to generate results quickly. and the cooperation will likely help panama produce its own vaccine panama's collaboration with the german vaccine manufacturer will certainly give the country

a competitive economic edge over other countries. sharing technology is also an important part of the deal for countries that host vaccine trials that includes peru. but back in bella vista, many residents are worried that when a vaccine is distributed, they'll once again be left empty handed but i doubt that peru's government would give us the vaccine. it's almost impossible. we feel like we were forgotten. thanks to trials in south america, covered 19 vaccine could be approved this year. but whether south americans themselves will get widespread access is uncertain. and a reminder of the top story this hour the world is watching closely for the outcome of the u.s. presidential election. and while the votes are being counted,

markets are taking something of a breather after the recent rallies that fall for months. thanks for watching.
