drinking you're gonna stream black coal. oil starts december 3rd, largest economy staying on a doll in the words slow. will announce fresh economic data later today with analysts expecting the contraction to have slowed, but the economy still have shrunk significant, also coming up a dispute over shiraz and chardonnay. china imposes anti-dumping duties on australian wine. and after weeks of tendai blocked all nonessential shops in france will be allowed to reopen again on saturday just in time for the holiday season.

i'm chris coble. welcome to the program with more than 9000000 corona virus infections and in particular, a worrying surge in the capital. new delhi, india has the world's 2nd highest number of covert 1000 cases after the united states. in march, the government had imposed strict lockdowns after lifting them most areas, but the economic damage has been severe after a 3 percent growth in the 1st quarter of 2020. the g.d.p. in the 2nd quarter shrank by nearly 24 per cent compared to the same period last year. the downward trend slowed in the 3rd quarter to minus 8.6 percent, according to initial estimates by the reserve bank of india. official figures are expected later today. now a short while ago, i spoke to journalists irby tandon and asked her how this economic downturn, albeit a, the celebrated one, was affecting people's everyday lives. so in everyday life on the street,

i would say that defense is very obvious, novel instance where i am in goa, which is the coolest part of the time. sheets on many distillers and hotels continue to be shot even though it tourism season is on. and the government has been invited in the industry to be open. now not like streaming a logistical differences that is likely to realize that at least on the whole, the jury in the beginning of the traces at that time reported that almost $6700000.00 migrant workers have lost their jobs. and he sent a bill. it's now suggests that at least 50 percent of them has found a way back into cities and in jobs, which means that the well cost is much smaller, which therefore affects things like businesses, opening construction sites, being back on and so on still. and finally, i don't see that the economic problems have also not been gender neutral. it has affected women disproportionately, so a lot of women inch of not being able to find jobs. a lot of businesses led by room

and have not been able to see starch and especially women working in the informal sector. i'm not even willing to leave just that. they will at treacle good luck to the list, serve time time reporting them now staying in india 1000. the farmers mostly from the agricultural state of punjab, are protesting against new laws, liberalizing procurement, the farmer saying that role leave them vulnerable to become, but it's the law as the prime minister. narendra modi called a watershed moment for india as our vulture allows farmers to sell their produce to corporate buyers. instead of the usual government regulated wholesale markets, where farmers are assured of a minimum price. many farmer organizations fear the government will eventually withdraw the price of war for wheat and rice, leaving them in a weaker position than before. relations between china and australia have been deteriorating recently. now tensions are about to rescind next

level starting tomorrow. beijing will impose tariffs of up to 200 percent australian wine imports, claiming sharod, chardonnay, and others have been illegally subsidized by the government. australian producers are appalled. nowhere do they sell nearly as much as in china. australian wine. it's a hit in china. every 3rd bottle, the chinese import comes from an australian vineyard last year that added up to 800000000 euros worth of quine. but this year, the numbers are set to dry up as china is putting stiff tariffs on aussie a wine. the official reason china accuses the australian government of subsidizing deven yorks, thus allowing their products to be sold cheaper, undermining the chinese market. that, according to beijing, made it impossible for chinese venters to establish and grow their own business. the australian government disagrees. it is of great concern to china. it has taken

this action and it's an action that comes on top of an accumulation of other actions during the course of this year. in particular. in fact, beijing has previously levit import taxes on australian barley and has hindered or stop imports of australian coal and beef. to many, it seems that beijing is retaliating after australia criticised the country for the coronavirus outbreak and demand that an investigation. chinese officials have previously stated to anger. we have said on many occasions that australia has repeatedly taken wrong words and deeds on issues involving china's core interests and major concerns. taking provocative and confrontational actions. this is the root cause of the current difficult situation in china, australia relations, where you can and you may end beijing has authored

a 14 point memo explaining to australia how to behave in order to have more successful trade relations and includes no more criticism of china with regards to colbert's, as well as support for china's embattled telecom equipment maker, what way? australia finds itself between a rock and a hard place. after all, 40 percent of the country's exports are to china. let's dig a little deeper into the story with clifford coonan from business cover. good to have you. china says it's introducing these tariffs to protect their domestic market. and because, you know, australian wine has been illegally subsidized. that's what beijing says, but that's not the whole story. is no i think in recent years we've become used to socialism with chinese characteristics and capitalism. a chinese characteristics. and now i think we're getting a taste of globalization and free trade with chinese characteristics. i think what they're doing is they're putting pressure on almost straight. it's political,

the political always outweighs the financial when it comes to china. i think protecting the chinese wine industry, which is very small, is, is not something that you would, you know, is it doesn't really help when you consider how much australian wine goes in. and i think it's definitely a political thing rather than economic thing. the e.u. and china are currently working on a trade agreement. does this have any impact the spat between china and australia on these negotiations with europe? well, it's interesting. the e.u. parliament has just given has given its permission for these to continue now and to actually go ahead and sign this. this pact. one thing the australian said today though, is that doing the trading with china is risky. and i think what this is, is a warning that the e.u. congo's sort of hell for leather into, into a free trade deal. when clearly it's not as free trade as it appears to, to advertise itself on that. they need to, to reconsider about what terms they're going to be required to provide goods to

china. australia, china, china have a free trade agreement, strong trade ties, as we've seen, reported both are part of the freshly signed r.-c. e. trade deal for asia. what do the terrorist mean for these existing agreements? well, it was interesting. i was talking to a trade lawyer and they were saying that when, when trade deals don't work, they stay in place. it's more about how they actually try and build more trade. so drunk directly affect these things, but it's certainly going to make people think about how they're doing, letting china have such a big role in these free trade deals. on the one hand, it's calling for globalization and for more openness. but at the same time, it's doing what's clearly very protectionist measures against australia over its comments on john and other aspects. so i think, i think it won't directly affect them, but it will certainly make them look a lot less attractive. i'm going forward. i think it will make the whole notion of

signing up for big trade deals a lot less appealing than today's over conan from v.w. business, giving us the lowdown on chinese australian relations before. thank you for 3, and i'll do some of the other business stories making headlines. the european union will drop its 8 percent tariff on us lobsters for the next 5 years. and possibly even for good. the business was worth under near loving $1000000.00 a year before slumping by half. as a result of us, you trade tensions and returned the us to slashing tariffs on $160000000.00 worth of imports. italian authorities are planning, covert test of flights with alitalia and delta airlines from 3 u.s. airports to eliminate the required 14 day quarantine for passengers arriving late. some of the corridors are also expected to be approved for flights between roll airport and the german cities of munich. and frankfurt. astra zeneca is

planning an additional global trial of its covert 19 vaccine. that's after scientists raise doubts about initial results showing the shot to be 90 percent effective in a test where participants mistakenly received a half those followed by a full those experts said problems with the 1st trial could slow down u.s. and e.u. regulatory approval. it's to france now and for weeks the country has been on lockdown as the government struggles to get the coronavirus under control with infection numbers. now stabilizing plans to gradually ease restrictions are on the way on saturday. soft shops will be allowed to reopen just in time. for the holiday season, as france begins, a phased unwinding of its lockdown for the holiday season, nonessential shops will reopen this weekend. they hope customers will return to buy books per fumin toys in person. over the past few weeks,

this toy store had to stay afloat with online sales. i take very, very happy that we can reopen. i have our whole team back again and some of whom are currently unemployed and will return to our old role of customer advisors. and that can see in magazines on december 15th, cinemas, theaters and museums can also reopen. but restaurants, cafes and bars will have to stay shut until at least mid january before and then they'll be restricted to take away service. only people if it didn't for christmas. the good news is that the other shops will be able to reopen, that will bring a bit more foot fall out and the streets were partly a food shop and we're offering duck for retailers. this will have been a year with huge losses and many bankruptcies. the government's claim that france's

2nd lockdown will not damage the economy as badly as the 1st offers little holiday cheer. and the rest of this edition of your business for more news and background stories, check out our website at www. dot com slash business. and of course, it was a good idea to check out our social media feeds from me and the entire team. thanks for watching. ever. self successful

in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic has the rate of infection been developing. what does the latest research say? information and contacts on t.w. . what's the secret of this classic use of the sound or the story

behind the music. i mean for the engines, reducing the tobin's not simply for the world starts to simmer down on t.w. . while parts of the medical community are on the hunt for a vaccine against the corona virus, others are on the hunt for its origin. well, the 1st confirmed case was in china. the exact steps of the virus is very progression still unknown. the current working theory is that the virus originated in rouhani, but there's still more to learn sequencing the viruses genome is key for the ongoing medical forensic investigation. and scientists hope by pinpointing where

the virus came from and how it jumped to humans. they'll be able to develop the tools to fight the future evolution of coffee 19 it's a bit like a medical detective story following the clues should eventually lead to the origin of the corona virus that has brought us a year. the world will never forget the to get the beginning and have to work backwards. autumn has brought 2 things with it this year in europe, falling temperatures and skyrocketing rates of corona, virus infections, cold weather, forced people inside after socializing outdoors during the summer, with many tired of adhering to strict kovan 1000 precautions. infection rates are rising dramatically in germany. spain has been in a state of emergency sense the end of october on september 28th,

33000000 people had been infected with kovan 1000 all around the world. on that same date, we passed the milestone of 1000000 deaths. meanwhile, life in china, where coven, 1000 was 1st detected, is mostly back to normal, with some health restrictions in place. but after strict lockdowns across the country, people here are once again able to go to concerts. new zealand declared itself coronavirus free on june 8th, and has only seen a handful of cases sense even allowing travel and hosting large events again. at this time, there had been nearly 7200000 cases worldwide. europe's 1st taste of the pandemic came in february. italy bore the brunt of cove in 1000 then, and was quickly forced into lock downs, deaths and cases piled up in hospitals in the northern part of the country, prompting border closures around the e.u. . on february 21st,

there were only $78205.00 cases around the world. researchers believe the spark that 1st ignited, the corona virus, 10 demick took hold in china. medical forensics is a big part of the equation. now. dozens of people connected to a wet market reported flu like symptoms in the early part of last december. the leading theory is that a man originally constructed the virus from a bat. the w.h.o. is currently working to trace the viruses path to better understand how the pandemic could continue to spread. now many scientific minds have been putting their efforts into retracing the steps of this corona virus. one of them is dr. peter forster from the university of cambridge. he joins us on the show. thank you very much for coming along. your research traced the net excess of the corona virus, backwards writer, and the like. you might be able to do with a person or a species,

i suppose. but we are able to conclude by doing that. we get the data from the beginning of the 1st samples in december 2019 up to the end of february 2020. and then we constructed well, it's like a complex tree. so a combination of trees to find out how the virus had developed. and we identified 3 types, which we called a b. and c. . and comparing these types with the back coronavirus, we saw that the a type was the most ancient and b. was a bit younger. and c. was the most recent. ricer have these 3 phases of the corona virus. where do we find those around the world? are they or are they everywhere? well, the a.b.c. types are all represented in china and in east asia. but we see a type even 2 to europe, astray here. and north america,

and then later, the b. type takes over. so that happens in march and april. so it has developed by mutation, a more infectious type which has then taken over the world in the course of march and april. so we saw that coming up in march, not data. so if we have all 3 of these types in china, as you say, does that mean we can pinpoint china as the origin of this correct virus? i have no reason to doubt that on the basis of our analysis, but the origin question really breaks down into 3 questions. so the earliest origin would be the jump from between species. so for example, from bat to human. and we did some calculations to find out when that might have happened. and interestingly,

the common ancestor between the bat that we have and the human coronavirus is on the order of 5 decades. so that might mean that the corona virus has been circulating in some part of mankind. undiscovered for decades,, just like the aids virus was not discovered until the 980 s., even though there were sawmills in the fifty's. now that we know about all the other solution to this conundrum is that we simply don't have the right back yet. and there is some other bat out there which is 99.99 percent similar to us. and we just haven't found it yet. so anyway, the 1st infection from birth to humans could have happened, you know, last year and 50 years ago, we just don't know that yet. the next origin number 2 is when the corona virus started successfully spreading amongst humans. and that we have dated with some

certainty, so we think that was between mid september and early december 2100. and the 3rd origin, sorry if i didn't interrupt you on that one. so, so that's quite a bit before we have the 1st case towards the end of december, which was in with how does the fact that it was spreading between plea for the, for the impact of the sort of working theory that it originated in with let me correct, you slightly there. you said end of december is the 1st case. many scientists make that mistake as well. in fact, the 1st genome was submitted on christmas eve 24th of december. that is correct. but the 1st patients described with the corona virus symptoms in a medical journal in the lancet, in fact, fell ill on the 1st of december. so inevitably, that patient must have caught it in november. and as for the origins of

all the theory that the origins of the infection started in the rue ham fish market, i think is problematic for 2 reasons. first of all, as i said, the most ancient viral subtype is the a type. but what we found is that the dominant type and will have, even in the early phase in the 1st 3 weeks, was the b. type 20 out of 23 patients who have until mid january have them be type only 3 of the 8. and elsewhere in china, you find more of these 8 types. for example, in you now and or in guangdong, in southern china, where indeed you have populations where those who don't. so i think there are better candidates then we will hand for the beginning of the epidemic. an awful lot of unknowns. and yes, well the other point which is known is that if you look at the loss of paper from

january, it actually says that the very 1st patient who fell ill on the 1st december no contact with the fish market. so this looks to me as if the fish market may have been an accelerator, a catalyst, but not necessarily the origin. there are something to foster from the university of cambridge. thanks for bringing us your theory and your reset. my pleasure now is the part of the program where you get to ask the questions you've been submitting them through our you tube channel surf. let's put one of them to ask science correspondent what the different vaccines cost and how does that compare to other health related costs in the pandemic? with reports a couple of days ago that a trial involving a vaccine developed by a team at oxford university and pharma company, astra zeneca had returned safe and effective results. it was the 3rd candidate to

do that in the last few weeks. it's time i think, to start talking about the next big step in overcoming the pan down there, which is the logistics of vaccinating the world. and that's going to be not only a gargantuan feat, it's going to be staggeringly expensive as well. but even so, a lot less expensive than what we're facing now on the health related monetary costs of this pandemic so far have been just immense. one recent study that i read said they could hit 16 trillion dollars in the u.s. alone. and that's assuming, by the way, that source code too is contained by next fall back scenes will be keyed to that containment and compared to the cost of treatment in an i.c.u. unit or, or expensive high tech therapies like monoclonal antibodies, they'll be

a bargain. the oxford vaccine, which astra zeneca has promised to offer at cost for the duration of the pandemic. and beyond that, for low income countries. and the company says it will be charging only around $3.00 a dose or less for it. since you need 2 of them, that works out to about $6.00 per vaccinate. the other 2 vaccines for a ramping up are or more expensive, but still come in at under $25.00 a dose. distribution costs will of course, add a lot to the overall total, but effective vaccines are still orders of magnitude cheaper. that hospitalizing possibly millions more people and, and continued lockdowns as a science correspondent derek williams. actually got a question for him at avis, a,

you tube. and you can submit, submit one through the t w news you cheap channel. and that's all from us as a day for the latest developments on the corona virus pandemic, you go to our website data, we dot com slash culverts 90. so next time, take at times to stay healthy

to the point of strong opinions, clear positions from international perspectives. donald trump stays in the white house, now appears to be number one, as joe biden begins to present a scale from a team. we ask if and when america can again be a global leader to join us on to the point shortly. to the point, good news by news limited smartly w. has lived play

a crucial role throughout our lives. the most important to him, a cool messengers in our party's role, hormones plane, and how they influence our emotions. just someone who runs in a bad mood, this can be a good chick 90 minutes on t w. what's going on, the knowledge that emerges that you know what you have to do provided the sharp microscope that had been but the knowledge they will come back at better and better over the years. we were in the bad ol, for example, of

a viral infection about molecular ditto. and therefore a lot of it was a modified much more easily work. speculate about what's going on in the 50. i can't imagine that it will add to that the cause of much better and then reduce the number of cancer cases. there is the opportunity to live a much more fulfilling life because many diseases, shortcomings causes of aging. i'll correct that or logically ethical, but they held for longer periods of their life.

this is the their view news live from a grim new milestone in germany. the number of corona virus infections surpasses 1000000 with the number of new cases also remaining high. we ask how about the situation is now in the country that used to be a poster child for containing and also coming up using chemical weapons to attack civilians in syria. it was among the worst crimes to take place in that conflicts. now human rights organizations are hoping that a court in germany will deliver justice for the victims.
