going to be a father very soon so. you know everything is great in my life. so the people who are trying to keep trying but you know i'm still smiling on the small screen there you can see how sad it is next tournament is the season ending a.t.p. finals in london next week but off the court controversies will continue to be a challenge. rob is up next with the w. business for the record. why are people forced to hide in trucks. there are many reasons. there are many answers. and there are many stories.

make up your. job made for mines. balance and virus breakthrough lead to a record day for markets well look at the reaction to news of taxing developed by germany's buy on tech is effective 90 percent of the time. transatlantic relations may also be in line for a fight in boost that hasn't come soon enough to stop the e.u. imposing new tower some billions of dollars of american goods. and we'll look at the possibility that ultraviolet light could be and know the handy tool in the

battle against the company 19 content. this is the doing business on robots in berlin welcome to the program. it could be the big breakthrough in the search for a coronavirus vaccine the u.s. pharmaceutical company 5 is that and it's german patna biotech say they have soon be seeking emergency approval for their candidate to be rolled out in the u.s. as after trials showed just how effective it can be. vials full of hope an initial clinical trial data shows this vaccine made by germany's bio on tech and its u.s. partner pfizer is over 90 percent effective infectious disease specialists from the university hospital in the german city of cologne say the data is promising but they warn it was announced in a press release and not a scientific publication. if. it's true that this type of medication hasn't been approved yet which is why we're carrying out this compatibility study with more than 40000 test persons. to find out if there are any intolerances

even rare ones. in the study can prove that the vaccine is well tolerated and the for side effects are mild and moderate. biotech and pfizer plan on supplying up to 50000000 doses of vaccine worldwide this year and up to 1300000000 next year germany's health minister says the progress is very encouraging and that he's proud of the development this footnote to he said as i do watch i am of course very pleased that it's a german company which is a german research and development team and a german biotech company that are the 1st ones we are negotiating with to present the 1st study results. masel fault lies in con. in frankfurt biotech shares left by over 13 percent on the news also boosting stocks of companies hit by the pandemic such as lufthansa which gained 20 percent. less gets the market

reaction to this vaccine breakthrough from yen's quarter afghan national correspondent in new york yeah it's made for something of a bumper day on wall street doesn't it. well and the markets closed and i saw a lot of happy faces so leaving the new york stock exchange behind me there was the vis seen and there was so that might have given the market the biggest boost of but then on top of it there was also some relieve. the all the uncertainty was the elections seem to be over so more normalcy and even if most traders at least on the floor of the new york stock exchange tend to be republicans they are also just hoping for some calm but the bigger news so clearly that was the scene there is not every as things hold here but i talked to a lot of people in the past couple of days and people are just seen as i've heard from so many people saying they will take their bit see in no matter what once it's

out and approved so that clearly was the big boost and there is hope that that is seen might be the key to unlock the economy not just the u.s. but also the global economy that's also why we saw a big boost in oil prices at some point up by 10 percent and the stock market on fire blue chips at one point up by 1500 points a good 5 percent we reached a new record high at least during rating trading was that all jones industrial average of the end of the trading not that tie 800 plus points but still an increase of about 3 percent and then on the losing side we had some of the big tech names some of the companies that actually profit from the pandemic netflix peloton and some other tech companies just to name a few so that's why not start composite was down by a wild one and a half percent but overall the mood on wall street fighter stock by the way up by a good 7 percent and beyond tech that's rates on the nasdaq up by around 13 percent so overall

a cheery day here on wall street. yes culture in new york thanks for joining us. now european leaders have hinted that expecting a biden bounce for transatlantic relations however that hasn't stopped the e.u. announcing that it's imposing tariffs on $4000000000.00 of u.s. goods the european union trade commission of valdis dombrovskis confirms the retaliator measure is over illegal subsidies paid by the american government to play make of boeing a long running dispute has also seen the trump administration impose tariffs on european goods because of subsidies given to europe's and us. but i speak to christopher thought from consultancy firm beacon economics he joins us from l.a. trade ties between the e.u. on the u.s. have cooled somewhat under president trump haven't they all we expecting that to change underbite almost assuredly look when when trump came in it kept

with him of course this idea of america 1st and buy america 1st he basically ran around trying to bully everybody into some sort of deals that he thought would be good for the united states some of those tariffs obviously based on european products were were part of that process almost assure them and biden comes in you're going to find a shift towards far more conciliatory efforts to improve trade relations between the united states in the e.u. another major if in fact perhaps the major characteristic of president trumps trade policy has been the trade all with china will the biden approach be completely different to that of president trump. i can tell you the answer that is i hope not and i don't think so but look for the last 15 years most of the globe has had a problem with how china has been handling its trade relationships with other countries they have broken many of the rules of the w t o and they get away with it largely because it is such a large market what trump showed is that you can in fact put tariffs on chinese

products without creating massive problems within your economy that's what we saw with those drop tariffs what it taught us is actually when it comes to trade relations the united states truly does have the upper hand by and hopefully recognizes that and will continue to keep pressure on the chinese so that they shall we say play more fair in that global trade sandbox yes it has won't be as different as some people might have been expecting back to president elect biden how far up his list of priorities are these trade relationships with the likes of yours in china. probably not that high when you think about it i mean after all we have to keep in mind we're obviously dealing with a virus which is 1st and foremost in everybody's minds we need to have some coherent national conversation about how to deal with this as opposed to being on a state by state basis but i think the broader idea is here is this look when it comes to trade the united states american citizens we're just not as focused on

these issues because imports our exports are a much smaller share of our economy and remember that when it comes to trade our 2 biggest trading partners does not include china it's canada and mexico and of course those trade relations were sort of reaffirmed a couple years ago when we updated the nafta treaty so really overall this is probably not the 1st thing that by and going to be thinking about right the home front perhaps more important christopher thong back from beacon economics thank you very much for joining us on they don't have this pleasure to be here. now all hope of a vaccine maybe for guiding light at the end of the tunnel light itself could also help with the coronavirus crisis types can be deadly to humans it can also be deadly viruses. protection against ultraviolet light and the even more dangerous u.v. c. radiation is a must when welding u.b.c. can damage the skin and cause cancer but u.v.

see light also has a good side it kills viruses and intends to use it to fight corona virus to do this he installs u.b.c. lamps in a closed box and uses a fan to draw in contaminated air this device could put u.v. c into everyday use. of. the u.b.c. rays are contained in a limited space within the chamber. the air is fed pass there. the amount of u.v. c. light there is enough to kill a virus but no u.v. c. lines at all escapes from the chamber to threaten people in the same room with. the boxes containing the u.v. c. lamps can be installed in the same spaces as conventional lighting fixtures and can be used indoors so far hugh v.c. technology has only been used in large air conditioning systems or for disinfecting operating theatres this handy version is new. d.v.c.

lamps are already being used in this family doctor's practice near munich in the entrance area where there's a lot of public traffic the system sucks in 100 cubic meters of air every hour scientific studies suggest the technology works but nobody here can measure it exactly if it in such. we feel safer because we've read about the lamp and because we know how it works it converts contaminated air into clean air. and we don't just worry about the corona virus there's also the flu and when i ask you to influenza out this company points to numerous scientific studies it says back up its claims in the past 2 weeks the company has sold 50 u.v. sea based air cleaning systems for $600.00 euros each and gradually more and more orders are coming in. and finally one sec to bring well out of the pandemic is icelandic wool that exports up by 70 percent pot a field by

a finnish lockdown craze for knitting traditional icelandic jump as one of the country's biggest won't produces is taking on new staff or extra evening shifts and says it hopes to fulfill $100.00 tonnes of additional orders next year most of the extra demand is coming from private individuals who are picking up the needles join all those extra hours stuck at home. and it's always nice to end with a good yawn that's over me in the business to hear about an exit interviews.
