for months, the trend of increasing migration numbers has been visible here on the canary islands. nevertheless, everyone involved seems overwhelmed by the current situation. valuable preparation time has been lost. instead, the island's government, the central government and the european union, starting to shift responsibility for the situation to one another. you're watching t w news, stephen beardsley is up next with business stick around here. why are people forced to hide in trucks? there are many reasons there are many

answers and there are many stories make up your double made for mines., infection rates are rising and so are jobless claims. u.s., economy, braces for another blow as chase numbers reach, new heights. more states impose business locked outs with the latest from new york . also on the show deal or no deal. time is running out for brussels and london to agree to a trade agreement. before the new year,

a coven is complicating the negotiations. and will drop in on the french film industry. actors and production numbers are bouncing, worked with safety, made a 2nd wave of growth of hers infections. welcome to the show. i'm stephen beardsley in berlin. it's good to have you with us. the new figures show u.s. jobless claims have risen for the 1st time in more than a month. the country's labor department reporting that 740000 americans applied for unemployment benefits last week. that's up about 30000 in the previous week. the rise suggests that climbing infection rates and tightening business restrictions in the u.s. are pushing more companies to cut jobs. the number of cases reported there is racing towards the 7000000 mark. and for more on this i'm joined by our financial correspondent in new york ins korda. yes. good to see you. is it fair to say that some of these new shutdowns that we're starting to see across the u.s. are those factored into these numbers already?

well that's probably what partly caused the increase in the unemployment claims, but we also had some big corporations, like walt disney exxon for example, who also announced a mass layoffs. and i'm standing again in front of a school here in new york's and said today is schools will be closed at least until thanksgiving. so that's a big problem for working parents, the mayor of new york and was also talking about today that maybe we might see some shut downs off of restaurants and to fitness centers center, we hear stories like that, them all over the country. and there was also a report all jim that maybe by the end of the year of college at 12000000 americans might lose their unemployment assistance. so clearly this situation has a, worsened a bit in the pos couple of days. they insist is the spite, all these job losses we've been hearing about throughout the months. the consumer

spending has always seemed to be relatively ok in the u.s. . why is that? now that is a fascinating and it is surprising. and even if the job market has recovered a bit in the past the couple of months we shouldn't forget, as usually before the pundits make, we had maybe about 200000 unemployment claims. now we're at around 740000. i guess there are couple of reasons why consumer spending is so pretty decent. so for 6 consecutive months actually spending rose even if in october at a slower pace. so one reason might be that a lot of american families got those extra checks during the summer. so they could pay down their credit card debt than now have the credit card spic working, i guess also people transferring to working from home schooling and told cetera that also caused a spike when it comes to sales of electronics. and i could imagine that now for the holidays that americans are still in a spending mood,

but i'm not sure how sustainable that is to special e. if you look at all the challenges that you're seeing there was the labor market was away just saw. i can't imagine that it will be sustainable, but it might last a bit longer, at least. i'm sorry, the holiday season. yeah. that holiday period always so important in the u.s. for their force in new york. thank you very much. and from the u.s. we go to europe, where leaders are still trying to resolve the dispute with poland and hungary to unlock the blocks 1.8 trillion, euro budget and recovery package. and the virtual summit was originally meant to focus on the coronavirus pandemic that's gripping europe. but the budget was derailed earlier this week when the 2 member states vetoed it. poland and hungary object to a provision that would withhold money from countries that violate democratic norms . something that both governments have been accused of doing in recent years. another agenda item for thursday's summit was brags that time is running out for

a trade deal between london and brussels, which would keep business flowing smoothly between both sides of the pandemic isn't helping talks. both sides called off negotiations thursday after an e.u. negotiator tested positive for cocaine, 19, a deal needs to be done before year's ins. and if not, many companies are already bracing for the chaos. these goods have to arrive on time, otherwise this transport company will lose customers. that's why 20, fully loaded trucks leave from this depo in southeast england. every day they deliver to france, italy and spain, among others. but starting in january, the chaos begins for our company was going to be it's going to be pretty bad, obviously, because most of our tip it is going to be either europe obviously is going to and he's going to cost is a vast amount of money. a trade deal or

a heartbreaks it with high customs duties. no $1.00 knows what will happen after the transition period. and renzo is doing all he can to prepare his drivers, but he feels ignored by politicians. to make custom clearance these permits and everything else. they should have had one or 2 companies on a trial period of 6 months and see, the company can see where all its trucks are from the control room. the green they see now will soon turn red after bricks it expects on the 1st of january. there's going to be even lots of chaos around this part of europe. right here next to the highway. the government is building a customs clearance facility, measuring more than 100000 square meters. hundreds of trucks will be processed at this site every day, but britain's preparations still have

a long way to go. with just 7 weeks before the transition period ends. it's still not clear how things will proceed from january. the 1st keeping trade flowing smoothly will prove a task. now to some of the other global business stories making headlines, european union has unveiled plans to increase its offshore wind energy capacity by 5 fold in the next decade. renewable sources like wind and solar, provide around a 3rd of the blocks power of the e.u. is aiming to double that by 2030 become climate neutral by 2050. u.s. secretary of state mike pump, a.o. says he has issued guidelines for his country to label israeli products made in the west bank rather in west bank settlements as made in israel. made the comments during a visit to the area, palestinians, and much of the world regard. israel's settlements as illegal under international

law b.m.w. has announced it will in production of gasoline and diesel powered cars at its main facility in munich. german carmaker plans to invest some 400000000 euros there to shift production to electric vehicles and power trains. beginning in 2026, b.m.w. would still continue producing combustion engines in austria and britain. drabble german industrial giant tousen croup will slash 5000 more jobs after reporting dismal figures for the past is year. the company did record a 9500000000 euro profit, but only due to the sale this week of the elevator division, which it would have seen a 5500000000 euro loss or european concert player and ticket seller event. i'm slumped to a loss in the 3rd quarter, which is the latest sign of the crisis facing europe's entertainment industries, as the condit battles to get a 2nd wave of corona,

virus infections under control. a creative industries are doing what they can to keep going. like france's film industry, take a look. arriving on the set, there are none of the usual kisses on the cheek. just a tap on the elbow at the start of a day's filming famed actress. valerie abreu need to desk is here to shoot one of the final scenes of her latest film despite the ongoing outbreak in france. because the book is very important. it's a way of keeping working of resisting the gloom and the depression. that's why we're happy to work. it's like we have bees in a beehive striving to continue making honey me. but it's hard all the same. we see could you come in? it's perhaps appropriate that this particular scene of life is being shot in a genuine medical clinic. francis recorded more coronavirus cases than any other european country. over 2000000 districts nationwide,

lockdown means you can only leave your home for medical appointments, shopping exercise, and to work. you could get covered is so anti cinematic graphic. it's anti everything i like to hug each other to talk to each other or to have the act to see your face. see your expressions. i've been shooting with a mask. nevertheless, filming continues. as you know was the aim is to have a laugh, track, ready for release next year. but with cinemas currently shut in case numbers still high, you know, who knows where we'll be able to watch it. all right, and finally enforcing pandemic rules can be a little tricky, especially when it means telling customers what to do. but one japanese sports shop believes its found a technological solution. it's enlisted the help of a cute but firm robots are mine,

customers to wear their masks. robo v's usual job is to show shoppers around the store, how she's taken on extra responsibilities. she also make sure customers are keeping their distance at check out. she's programs, if you plight, she does right . that's it from me and the business scene here in berlin. as always you can find out more about these and other business stories online. dot com slash business to join us on facebook, twitter as well. i'm stephen beardsley. as always, thanks for joining us

a new sales force to respond to calls hello, i'm christine one day. it's good to have your company. ugandan police have a race to 350 people and a crackdown to call process triggered by the arrest of presidential hopeful, bobby why? those protests entered a 2nd day following their arrest in the capital kampala on wednesday. now police accuse all the while filing coronavirus knishes by holding mass rallies, dozens were injured and at least 16 people died in violent protests that erupted in kampala. after the pop, star turned politician was taken away by police tear gas in the streets of kampala alongside the rocks and other debris that protesters had used to set up barricades . riot police made their presence felt as civilians who are also caught up in the

chaos maintained their innocence. this is what sparked the protests. police seizing bobby wine, the musician turned presidential hopeful. on monday. they are not god, it's the most recent of many times he's been arrested since he became a politician in 2017. the authorities accused him of flouting anti coronavirus regulations. his supporters say this is simply a political witch hunt. that was that the police are attacking us, but the one is supposed to be campaigning, but now he's in jail again, they're just trying to waste his time. as more forces deployed, the unrest is affecting business in kampala and in other towns where they have also been protests. these events are to opposition, worries about political freedom. as the elections approach. at least 2 presidential

candidates have called off their campaigns, over alleged police brutality against the opposition. and for more on the situation and uganda, i'm joined by correspondent janice mcconnell, he is in the capital kampala and that's a see it julius. what is the feeling in the capital today? it is still a tense situation, but harps not have been magnets is or what have been used to us because, you know, if i meant here, must have given to security teams that chose to deploy strategically and united and wind resistance of combat. i woke up there for deployment, a little bit unusual for in the places where there was racing in your previous state, but just a kid you do ends up with is 2 very frustrated. she still wants the police to release them one at all cost. all right, and tell us about his a ransom as we had ascended and opposition candidates have also been arrested. yes, i could. what i can tell you is that there's a lot of frustration mainly on the opposition side,

but it is us airport and that tell you that income didn't prison germans have any. we understand from nickel media reports that he's got been a growing awareness month. you will see now the politico. the candidates will suspend it. they are campaigns in saudi diary, seeing your book the way they once the police to release will do a new presenting to the course of my size, who can speak, who has come. danes are suspended and even some of the presidential candidates are suspended. there has but presidential him sitting committee is continuing with these complaints and interrogated and genius. looking at that footage which we literally watched the kennedy office offices fire live rounds of protest, as is their response to dissent by you amos seventies government. intensifying. i could say that what you saw happening, what happened to book the one couple of other cases that's happened in the past just like that. and the opposition hylas strongly come out, strongly come out to condemn this, including human rights activist groups. they want state governments,

they wanted police to be seen, but he's and, but the police say that's the same force in the low everytime that make these hours this and forcing that no end of a we've actually just received a statement from that minister of information that many states calling one to us not to join ghostwriting, but to gent protests and keep us a short distance. and there it is. we hear a lot about zimbabwe. why? and you weigh in with 70. but what about at that candidates in the opposition? do any of them have significant support i would say that the how significant some poet i don't want to make a judgment, but book be going when you look at crowds presence, you're missing out. but the way for some reason they seem to stand out as their leader kind of it's who and seems to be the leading candidate and opposition side. because we need to see when he goes place political rally, ghana's thousands of people following him. others a quickly getting people who are following them,

but for now you could clearly tell that's many of them looking at that. it's just judging from that. it's just but like i sayed in a previous interview, crowds following your main and this a lead to a pause button. you want to make adjustments using that extends the opportunities in that they be praised that you're in a city comes to bringing crowds together and, and what is at stake in this election tunis? i think what is at stake to settle it is they are us and fought the young foot is every candidate towards the young bus. and so it's because these are the jury, see if you how the m. people who play the chances i have, you go through. so all the money, fish, those old people, all kind of disappearing to confuse the end people to have been there. but the opposition is sitting there, young people, that's you know what you've had enough of visit europe since many of the empty people of new must see not now that we get a nice seeing their time is not a good place in terms of a doubt. but prison with 70 has told young people that has the money,

the right decision and the experience to secure the a future. but both you and i didn't know. let's get, let's get in line out. quickly janet do these young people and that is an electric, have faith in the democratic process being free and failed. talking about face death and very big question. and really a great day best people who support praise, ensuring the 70 peoples' supports that ruling. got them into a tell you that they trust a democratic process. but people with a political position, especially supporters of will be going to follow what he said, scrapes to what the weight has already told these people that he has no cause to disobey democratic process. but he has told them, regardless of the fact they should wake up in the morning in genoa to cross the about it yet. that's what much as they tell a.z. democratic process issues go on for. so the question of faithful is on the way as someone steps crepes, those subscribe to the opposition? think right. they did macwrite to presidents, reality up on those supporting government say it is the right thing to do and it's the upright. ok, genius. macumba. ason compiler for us. thank you. onix stories in cape town,

south africa way. crime is so rampant in some part of the city that paramedics will only respond to calls if they are accompanied by the police. this year alone, there have been more than 50 attacks on and units responded. as our correspondent accompanied one team of paramedics as they oncet holes waiting at the police station is a regular occurrence for paramedic. be shocked me without police. he can't do his job. months ago, there were border guards or did stop at the robot is another vehicle. one young guy brought the gun on you want to rob us? but 3 years ago i was told that everybody but his partner lives here at the cape flats. he says, not at day goes by,

that you don't hear shots fired. rival gangs. totally different in they really armed with, with no place they said when they shoot, they want to sue they want to get in. you are in their way, issued its way. we got this particular from the police, but someone who's been vomiting or not since the morning has called for an ambulance. the paramedics have been waiting at the police station for an hour or so the police are here now, and they advised us to get on with this because i don't know what's going to happen . violence has been escalating for years at the cape flats, which are located at the edge of the city gangs here, fight over control of drugs. it's also about power. the police are overwhelmed, gangs can easily recruit young people because of high unemployment and few drop opportunities. once the paramedics arrive, they quickly bundled the patient into the ambulance. for security reasons, the patient will only be treated once in hospital. the next emergency call,

the shortly after the area where we're going now, so it's also red. no doubt the red zone means only with police accompany meant more and more patients find they're having to wait in vain now for ambulances, because there's not enough police to always a squad. paramedics, this time the police are already at the scene. right in the middle of a heavily congested slum a man has been shot to death. paramedics can't help, but you can see the body right here and literally one or 2 meters away is the shot where family of 5 lives with 3 kids. i'm scared, i'm scared to even tonight you know, want to sleep. you know, i'm going to go to hospital. that's in the sun. i'm going to sleep. that's not what i want to see. but this place is like this from a paramedic on a bender fills out the victim's declaration of death and all to

a regular occurrence for him. this is a time where you start getting used to it because you see it on a regular basis. so this is the point, we don't start feeling anything anymore for these types. it is not that you will get because your supposed to such i don't throw my stuff and it's on a daily basis. but when it comes to kids, again, that is about to board because they get really see that it's, he has to say they don't really choose to be that type of provided with benefits out 3 more declarations of death in the next 2 hours, all as a result of a legit murders. and so again, a community is from the tightest with children growing up among violence and death killing has become a part of daily life at the cape flats. staying with crime in south africa, jacob zuma walked out of a commission investigating government graph showing his tenure. the former president was set to answer questions about his role in alleged corruption between

292018 the commission dubbed the state's caption quire. after losing an application to have the judge presiding over the inquiry, recused, he accuses the judge of being biased against him. but his legal steps are widely seen as delaying tactics. now, it's not yet known. what steps judge will take that is elected asking for permission to judge and obey seemingly unimpressed of jacob zuma. well, that is it for now be sure to check out the stories on dot com forward slash africa . we're also on facebook and on twitter. and finally, the n.b.a.'s draft day was an impressive affair for boston. born us from nigeria, all with nigerian roots also makes it on graduations from last year. due to the news, africa will see a mixed bag of

a u.c. who has now reached the guinea heights of couture in paris. kay farley di was a successful artist and writer in syria when the arab spring protests began. 10 years ago. she joined the demonstrations, but after mistreatment by the syrian authorities, took the difficult step of fleeing the country and came to germany. now she writes children's books and also help syrian refugees here in an interesting way. she brings the culture of a home country closer to fellow exiles, with the age of one of museums. syria is a few 1000 kilometers away, but there is a piece of key faculty deeps homeland. here in berlin, at the pergamon museum, she takes refugees on guided taus, telling them the stories behind the objects. it's an emotional journey to look to

close your eyes. try to smell and you will feel home. and there are always like very nice traipse. we go through clothing and thinking about our memories. our heritage studied dance in damascus and is a successful children's book or far venture stories are filled with the love of her life. and freedom, but she did not feel free under the totalitarian asaad regime and joined protests in 2011 when the arab spring a hope that kind to change the way we live with very long time. we fought for democratic change,

but the protests were brutally put down. she was arrested several times and finally fled the country. it was the how this life because they didn't want the hoped for a new syria was dashed. she had to leave friends and fellow regime opponents behind . many she has not heard from since where they arrested, kidnapped? are they still alive? her artwork depicts a lot which may be because they are. she arrived in germany in 2015 as one of over 1000000, people seeking refuge. she tries to help other refugees find a place. i always find myself somewhere in between.

trying to bring them together. she is writing texts for a handbook for refugees providing practical tips on what to do on a rival and about integration and counters. the fears of immigrants with a column in the german daily newspaper. she writes about the differences and similarities between germany and syria. there's still a lot of work to be done to break down prejudices and bring together cultures, which she says are not so far apart. old and new homes, damascus and berlin have much in common it's very similar from a different perspective because it's very life with everyone from everywhere. where are you from? what you're doing?

how you do, what you will find has found a place as a mediator between people and cultures. and you can see more from the other exiles who are now here in berlin on a very special 21 program on this weekend. good news now from brazil, with the reopening after a lockdown there of one of the largest collections of contemporary art in south america. the museum started life as a botanical garden, founded in 2004 by who started buying up land adjoining his farmhouse. as developers began to destroy the landscape around him, it has called the best outdoor museum in the world, and it is an artistic away says in the middle of the rain forest.

feeding the sun and listening to a close encounter with nature in a space designed by an artist to show off that goes down to a depth of 200 meters. the sound of the rocks shifting below amplified through loudspeakers. nature as the object of art and as an all encompassing power which we cannot escape . relationship is central to the experience of the museum. the biggest of its kind, anywhere in the world stretched over $300000.00 square meters, modern art parkland scrapes and rain forests merge into a unique hole. the nature here functions like drops that drain the

membrane as you go from artwork to artwork. we don't have these massacres that you sometimes encounter in calories or traditional museums where you see one artwork after another and you just can't digest it all. it says garden infinite reflected images of the viewer, driven through the landscape by the wind. after months of lockdown, the museum has finally reopened and offers a sense of freedom. and is this an ambience here has relaxed us a bit and lifted the weight that's been upon us. it's like an escape from the chaos of the pandemic out here. you have the feeling that everything is ok that the baby, the destruction of nature is here, confined to a glass dome. this wax mold of an up rooted truly past weapons penetrating it. progress and destruction go hand in hand in the personally and rain forest. you catch,

i think that is an opportunity to reflect and mediate in this conflict cultural institutions and museums work very hard on this. they sensitized people they have also built a kind of temple for the guardians of the forest. within there is a photo exhibition with pictures of the indigenous people, the yanomami numbers, instead of names, photos from an immunization campaign to protect the locals from deadly disease, brought by intruders who built a highway through the land, images of vulnerability, which serve as a warning. the yanomami fight for survival is not over. that place just looks fabulous. that's going on my to do list. another exhibition that is opening in spite of the pandemic is insane bases bug in russia. and it features the designs of want vogue magazine has called the world's greatest living

1000000. and that's british hat make a philip treacy also make it to the royals intricate designs like this ship actually a console here actually looks like a harry potter consul. doesn't, these really are works of art and trees. he himself said at the press pre preview. we all need a bit of entertainment at the moment in these trying times. now only about 2 dozen people are allowed to call themselves designers. the absolute high end of fashion is awarded by the french federation, a vote on fashion, which also decides who may participate as a gas designer at the paris old couture shows. this year, the self-taught, cameroonian designer, i.e.c. was invited. we visited him, after he had had his 2nd, could to show which he could only present digitally. this is

the man he sees a new collection. he's the 1st designer from cameroon, to showcase his creations at paris. couture show, even if there's time to coronato, it's only on me. paris is like a museum. there's always something new to discover. the fashion is everywhere. culture is also very present. so many people from all over the world come together . here is a very international city and a very important fashion for you see george inspiration from both africa and europe . he sees himself as a kind of ambassador for africa in the lux fashion world. i don't try to make clothes like do your laundry. and i don't have the means to do that from

a different world. and that's what i'd like to bring across using my designs to tell my story of africa. you see the train by himself, an exception in paris, fashion scene, the son of a professional boxer and a model. he grew up in cameroon, and was interested in his mother's exclusive dresses from an early age that my mom was pretty car kaddish. she was very beautiful and liked to wear nice dresses as a child, and i was allowed to close the door, made an impression on me, and i started to sketch from an early age. i wasn't talking, it just sort of developed. i drew figures in the sand with a stick, then i designed clothes for them. that's how it all began. but

he became a dog. performed in a traditional group with his siblings. he started modeling 1st in cameroon, and later for well known brands in france. eventually he founded his own fashion label his 1st couture show in january 2020 caused the international fashion scene was delighted by his mix of traditional craftsmanship and modern design. black designers are still an exception at the big shows, even if there has been some progress. fashion houses like louis freeh, for example, whose head designer is virtual, afro supermodel, naomi campbell says it's not enough recently called for more black models and designers. she is there to forward. she's had a great career. she is our voice. but sometimes you don't think of raising that voice when you're at the top and in the spotlight credit while it's a shame, she did not do it earlier. now if you see hopes that she is,

fashion is not only a mind, but also chose all stories from the world of arts and culture on our website at v.w. dot com slash culture and do check out books on our you tube channel. and also d.w. classical music. that's all for now though. thanks for watching conflicts
