welcome to the program. the corona virus pandemic has hit the world hard with 40000000 infections to date one and a half 1000000 dead and economies shredded but every crisis has winners to some of the world's richest people have become even richer 1st amazon's jeff bezos with lockdowns in many countries and stores closed customers have moved online business has grown 40 percent its share price has also doubled and the times it has has at times double but is currently up 63 percent for the year netting bezos an extra $90000000000.00 of the covered 19 winners you could call them include tesla's elon musk as well as tech leaders mark zuckerberg larry ellison and google founders larry page and sergey brin open because working from home and other lock

down restrictions have been a boon to online services meanwhile a record number of people are literally starving with hunger a deadly risk for 270000000 people worldwide according to the u.n. the world food program recipient of this is nobel peace prize wants to directly ask billionaires to pitch in and share their gains from recent months i am joined by tim hunter a director at the world food program thank you very much going on t.w. business i suppose we should start as a congratulations on the nobel prize not an insignificant achievement and also it comes a time when the world food program really needs this publicity. well absolutely adam thank you very much we're incredibly proud. to be awarded in 2000 the trans trans you know a peace prize but also extremely humble. and really the recognition

prize lawyers do they need $20000.00 to have people around the world operate from some of the most difficult circumstances and it also is a really important call to action as you say in terms of the really appalling situation that is happening in the inland to cope with it on top of the crises. being caused by climate change. and conflict that have driven now 270000000 people into really a kind of crisis situation so as to run a virus driving people into poverty who would otherwise have not been in poverty absolutely the. number of people hungry around the world i think unfortunately been increasing over the last few years as i said climate change conflict have been driving that kind of it has really accelerated so from an

estimated 130000000 people who are in a kind of crisis situation that is now going out to over 270000000 and that's really she's a people who are being driven into poverty i don't know whether that means coming from because of the economic unit of code yeah you're asking billionaires people who may have benefited financially from the coronavirus pandemic to pitch in to try and help with that do you actually expect any of them to take you up on that. well we very much notice that we're asking we're asking everybody around the world to do whatever they can really and you know we have supporters we have enormous support from governments around the world and they are the traditional. backbone of dudly f.p.m. that have really stepped up in this crisis as well as over incredibly grateful to the governments around the world but it seems only right that in this time of

extreme me and suffering from people that we ask everybody to teaching and those who can pitch in the most. people who have benefited as a result of. lockdown the way our economies are shifted. those who benefit the most we really hope that they will kind of step and make a difference because you know looking at it how do you how do you actually go about persuading those people to do that to part with the cash that they have they would save hard and have a state well everybody who can of you know mr nations to causes that. they support you know that that money and you know they've made a decision to make a contribution and you know we're hoping we're calling on as i said everybody around the world but particularly those who made the biggest contribution to really

kind of you know. you know dig deep this time as we go into 21202021 because the needs next year probably going to be even greater and the gap between the funds we can expect from those traditional government donors and the needs that exist is going to be very very you know the u.n. wants the world to be hunger free by 2030 is is there any chance of that happening given that actually then the amount of people hungry is increasing. well you're right we're not on track at the moment and the world was was already going in the wrong direction before. but also i think you know one of. the words of code shows to us is when the world comes together and really kind of focuses on a massive challenge. response so the hope of the news that we've all seen

recently around kind of advancing at least demonstrates actually what the world can do if it's really determined. to go. sorry to interrupt you where we are out of time but we can see that things are with a vaccine arriving starting to at least look up director of the world food program tim hunter x. joining us. now christmas lockdown was a one point considered the worst case scenario by many in germany but now it's all but inevitable on friday the country posted a record number of daily cases almost 30000 and the number of deaths continues to reach all time highs. it's a shock for many germans the record new cases suggesting tougher lock downs around their way stores could face much stricter measures including closing entirely nationwide this christmas season the time when retailers had expected over 100000000000 years in revenues experts fear devastating economic consequences.

we expect significant increase of bankruptcies in 2021 obviously the longer and the stricter any luck lasts and will become the higher the likelihood of even more bankruptcies next year and also we heard of an increase of unemployment opinion is split as has become so common during this pandemic between the joule priorities the health of the public and the health of the economy. who would i think it's good but i don't think is good is that shops are supposed to close because it'll affect all the small retailers while the large supermarkets and drug stores where the situation is much more dangerous are allowed to stay open. he has a slim even though it's bad for the economy and everyone else i think a lockdown would be better it would definitely be better off either. but it

wouldn't be better for business data agency credit reform predicts up to $24000.00 insolvency proceedings next year that would be the biggest jump since the end of the 2nd world war with tourism catering and the cultural events industries being hit the hardest germany had expected christmas to be tough on everyone this year but for retailers across the country it could be an exceptionally dreary holiday season. now civil liberties activists have raised concerns about why always involvement in a new surveillance system for police in uganda the chinese company is facing a security camera network that uses facial recognition technology campaigners fear it could be used to violate fundamental rights. this is one of the street commas. more than 2000 have been in storage in and around the capito compiler. the police say that it took knowledge doesn't prove to be
