recycling for disposable. oberstein. is truly unique and. this is one. global 3000. this is africa. featuring stories. coming out on the program. of kenya. to see the impact of. reinvention. the story. in south africa.

and i. welcome to this special edition of the program it's good to have you with us . for you is the rise in water between homes and businesses. especially high in 2022 months. and to make matters worse. you see them behind me the lake. and make a bowl gloria they have grown so much in recent times that their marriage to get. big. league is a fresh what i need the provide drinking water on people it will be an ecological disaster if the 2 leagues meet correspondent went out to reports.

lake bulgaria so swollen from rising water levels of the shoreline changes every day. we see this early on in our trip when the access road unexpectedly becomes part of the leak. nearby we find. who's just arrived to open her bar and restaurant but there's been a dramatic change. there's water this water just came in with an one day i cloud came slowly and slowly until it got to this level so without any notice you know you have to demolish within just a few seconds. china got has already been forced to move a business once it's inevitable that she will have to move again and she's not the only one the structure we're looking at is an entry point that was erected by the kenya wildlife service after their original gates was submerged by water 800 took 3 months before the lake eventually caught up with this one and we can clearly see that this water is unrelenting what we can't see but we can certainly smell is the

similar rage that's also being brought to be this because obviously people here use trains and all their contents are now under water and the water is clearly unrelenting because all around us the ground a soggy and these little are all over the place. the extent of the flooding can be seen clearly from neighboring lake or in go the freshwater lake has expanded by 60 percent in the last 7 years this year has been by far the worst. folks our tour guide grew up on the shores of the sleek work has been scarce as most of the hotels are now underwater. he leads us to one of many flooded schools in the area so even a year you've seen all decaying buildings. but our last story is the most significant for folks i grew up here my foster until years of life i spent a year this was my playground it's quite sad to see it drop going through and i

don't know what i'm going to tell markets. scientists are warning that freshwater lake baringo and salt water leak bulgaria could merge the cross contamination would destroy the balance in the ecosystem. to understand what is happening to the lakes we head to the forest home to the rivers that feed the lakes in the rift valley most forest is recovering from years of deforestation. david weston has been a conservationist for more than 50 years he says the destruction of the catchment areas is just one in a series of linked problems the pastoral people are settling down and staying in one place so what that means is every single day you have heavy grazing and that is really prominent around the bring the basin up in the hills on the side so all of that erosion is being washed off routinely so in 2018 we had rainfall which was the equivalent of el nino in 1908 then followed last year by these extraordinary rains

which have continued for a whole year so that means there creation huge amount of runoff and siltation and it's the combination of those 2 that have made the rift valley lakes and even other areas like amber sally just lift 10 sometimes 15 metres thank you bill gloria a storm brewing. that's sure thanks for the ocean us. china is visibly worried and soon how worst fears are realized the water level has gone up again this could be her last day on this land. there's one cafe that i would like to visit one day it's in uganda and it's the 1st of its kind because all. this. a company says it wants to see the deaf and also create jobs for this marginalized group

a sign language coffee was launched in august and as you're about to see its clientele is growing. roy has a customer. rose that is dave so he uses sign language to communicate he's worked as a barista at this coffee shop in compiler for 2 months now. when i make good coffee and i serve the customers order perfectly and i get a positive feedback that makes me really happy especially if it comes from different customers. russo graduated from university 3 years ago but since then he's had real difficulty finding a job uganda has one of the world's highest youth unemployment rates resources that being dave makes it even worse. i would apply for jobs write letters send evils and all that but whenever i mention that i was

deaf they became afraid of working with me either and they wouldn't give a chance they wouldn't hire me. workmates had beef too but that doesn't stop them from offering great service to their customers and by employing them the owner of the coffee wants to help break down stereotypes i guess they did if. we wanted to inspire the ever companies and employers out there to employ give people because we are capable and want to use these people here as role model as. according to official figures uganda has 1800000 different people that is about 3 percent of the total population of the activists see that this number could be higher. sees that different people are

often not taken into account by the government he cites the recent distribution of free fish musts which he sees the do not put into their special needs into direct consideration. with the deaf we use a lot of lip reading you see what i say without a face mask but when i cover my lips your formation is missing fisher expressions are hidden by the mask. mr seeds that people often misinterpret is just as he says he has learned to live with the 8 but i think makes these really home of terry veazey did he still hopes that some good that might change for the better. now what you see here is unmistakable it's a little rusty a little very rustic movie but it's a classic and i love discuss a mistake of all for sure. but isn't convincing plans because

a hobby full mostly rich old men out to get rich yeah but maybe to christine to some extent all men in south africa has found a way to create a nice business with now the 38 year old with some help from her husband will say some restores vintage cars in the eastern cape province and i'll corresponded address and creech paid her a visit. this 947 pontiac is no simple as bright and joy she bought the vehicle for less than 200 euros so far she spent about 2 years and around 2000 euros renovating it. for. the 38 year old renovates vintage cars which she later than either runs out all sells for

a nice price of property in the middle of nowhere on south africa's eastern cape looks like a cross between a scrap yard and take our museum. i don't have so much equipment i need is inclined to remove it and i asked him. to 7 years ago when most people saw a documentary on classic cars that sparked your interest and told her husband who works for them it is a policy but it's also a gifted car mechanic together they founded a company now they have 3 employees. i used to pray god to give me. a lady like that like that now of course it from court. very very proud when i'm sitting here i don't mock is that i don't cross the at the combine. i'm getting hit pretty well they used to call me the mother of the broken it sometimes they don't they tell me with

a negative when you just listing time with these cows and. clays when i finish the point that they do so i go on to say no no no no let's continue. today they're off to look at another potential project and i was dry from the village they travel as you might expect and the classic car. appeared. they're looking at a $963.00 japanese pick up truck that. everything it's. not ok because. they think it was around 300 euros this guy he has more than 50 years old and you can see it's a lot of work needs to be done but most people in the hope that if they do a good job they'd be able to resell it for up to 7500 euros. but 1st they have to get the vehicle ready to be transported. i believe.

this inside my heart i'm going to try with. i'm not going to change my mind. but that is precisely the issue now. taking the old pickup to heart which means it won't be easy to say goodbye to it when they come. there just absolutely well that's all for this special edition. and today we'll leave you with the song that had everybody being. vague about exactly. hundreds of millions of you. i want to go on but. by. you know. if.

you. just. eat. meat. can you hear me now yes yes we could hear you and how i love songs that we bring you i'm going to man and you never have been full of surprises so what is supposed to is magical really what moves. people who follows her along the way at myron's and critics alike how is the world's most powerful woman shaping public that joining us from eco flats the.

secrets of life behind the walls. discover new adventures in the 360 degree. and explore fascinating world heritage sites. d.w. world heritage 360 get the maps know. the age of the artificial intelligence is upon us even in the arts machines that make abstract drawings computer programs that compose music with what sounds like emotion but is it really are. does that matter. welcome to arts and culture with a look at artificial intelligence now one fear a lot of people have when it comes to ai is that robots might put people out of

a job but could that include artists well it might depend on how you define art and creativity already ai computers and robots are producing what some people would consider art like these pictures made by a robot in england. behind the old walls of this 16th century manage just outside london their lives a robot that draws. this machine with a human face is named ada. she's a robot with the mannerisms of a real artist. i was. curious to work like. because. there. a.j. has been drawing and painting since 2019 last year her work sold out as an exhibition at oxford university has estimated that collectors have paid more than

1000000 pounds for where x. . gallery owner aiden miller came up with the idea to create a. believe that was you try. to write every poetry oh the earth is. the coal. together with a team of computer scientists robotics experts and design as miller developed in his own words the world's 1st robot artist programmed for creativity. major draws with chalk and paints for the critic. but is this real art or is it just a grand technical achievement. we've heard. from different artists thinking oh my goodness what does that mean for my own ability of the natural for we very much believe the whys of ai and where boaters and. within the art world is very much

similar to the rise of the camera in the 18 fifty's and sixty's. people were very threatened by this camera that it was the end of painting stage of raises the question whether human artists will be competing against robots in the future. the idea that artificial intelligence could replace humans isn't new for a long time filmmakers have been stoking fears about the potential threat of ai will be chatting with the film expert in a moment 1st here's a look back at ai in films starting with how the murderous computer and the classic 2001 a space odyssey. open the doors oh. i'm sorry. i'm afraid i can't do that computer how is an intelligent beast but with an emphasis on beast think you know what the problem is just as well as right this

mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize an. intractable how doesn't think much of people logically speaking there's no reason to since they're so liable to breaking down. in films intelligent machines usually run amok though a few strive to be human sometimes even more humane than never all models say that the robot in steven spielberg's ai even wants to build real relationships they are way out there. but is david as harmless as he looks. at singer's going to murder me in my sleep. in one of the red comedies about ai the robot may not look human body is a real body. is none. of you ever had a dream you know that you were so sure it was real. in the matrix trilogy i am i

controlled an entire parallel universe one in which people are clearly not welcome . in the new series. chances is this planet leave. a message to. the terminator is sent back from the future to correct the course of history he's a killing machine died just by ai because humans could in danger robots in the future they're deemed expendable. but later it's machines against machines and everything ends in chaos yet in most cinematic confrontations with. humans come out on top. now that's probably because the now people are still writing scripts. trust me. so are the

robots coming to take away our culture reporter scott rock star is here to talk to me about it scott are movies safe as they are going to take over the film studios or can or you can rest assured that that's going to be a human pursuit for now i think we're safe i mean there have been a few attempts to get. to work in the in the movie industry there are a few years ago there was a film that was entirely scripted by ai the producers took dozens of science fiction screenplays and they fed it into this program called the benjamin and then asked benjamin to spit out a script which they then shot as a real movie. thomas middleditch we might know from muscle com valley started this film it's called sun spring and i think we have a clip take a listen and not write like. well i have to. go to the skull and. try to get the dialogues completely dodd said cicle it's kind of hilarious actually and the plot jumps all over the place i mean it makes absolutely

no sense interesting about this film is the only thing that holds it together are the human actors who actually try to convey some real emotion as they're speaking at this globally good so at least for now i think we're safe benjamin's no danger of winning an oscar any time soon ok but let's assume let's assume that the ai does get better and make something that you know looks like art sounds like art smells like art will it be art if it's ok by humans yeah i think that's almost a philosophical question i mean. is are about intention i mean do you have to want to make art in order to be an artist and if that's the case then ai which is programs can never be artists if they can only be the tool used by artists i mean i think of like button artists like i know jeff koons or any warhol who sometimes use these are factories where they got other people to. actually do the physical production you know the painting or printing or whatever it was we still considered them the artist because it was their idea was their intention to do to make the art and so far at least a i can't have intention ok but can't computers produce something good for it seems

at least original yeah i guess i mean spring that's pretty original kind of entertaining i think it's interesting if you look at some forms of art like like music is an interesting example because you can program a i to copy certain styles of music and maybe make compositions that have never been heard girls who are original i mean there's example the symphony of beethoven's tensity was unfinished they programmed computer to finish it by giving it you know teaching him how to play beethoven style music and the music is actually quite good and it sounds coherent a lot more coherent than the script that we just heard but is it actually art i don't know music is a lot about math and computers definitely can do math. better than i can it's got rocks for a 3rd so much and some of his most impressive artistic achievements if you can call them artistic i have in the realm of sound media artists composer and coder noise uses computers to analyze nature and then ai transforms the data and dimensions of

the landscapes into music. music composed by river scape over to put it more precisely the rivers many bands are analyzing transposed into notes the rhythm is set by the forces of nature. when the river has lots of bends or has a more complex visual structure than the musical structure is also more complex and when the course of the river changes then you also hear that as acoustic feedback as a kind of live ranter potations based on the data acquired by the. algorithms a fit with countless examples which teach the turn sounds into music it can then suggest what seem the melody could embark on next. music made mathematically is it creative is it art. it's

another approach him and that's the way you need to imagine it and i'm going to have to i belong to a whole generation of new composers and also artists who have grown up with technology and with algorithmic methods that mission metod and what ai has now opened up or machine learning to put it more precisely is a kind of sparring partner this bearings. partner that helps in the composition process and reacts to suggestions. for 9 years musician ali nick ryan has been developing a program to write sophisticated compositions was this written by a man or a machine it's impossible to tell. big breakthrough came with a program which can compose pieces in the style of everything from outside to show

. listen to a piece of music that is accomplished by an ai since it is able to examine responses because the exact day isis and does not understand our emotions. classical pianist glenn gould performances were emotional and unconventional though he died in 1902 his style is still alive and well. thanks to ai. so what we're doing is we're analyzing going god's audio recordings to see how he interprets a given piece of music and try to teach to an ai system so that i could play an expressive style of. bringing going back to life. it's as if game goals ghost is sitting at the piano those who knew him a star. christian

moser doesn't just want to imitate human creations he wants to explore unknown to mentions through his art with the help from ai he's collected some other will be signals. or. this one become very rich as we take this great unknown outer space and we try to capture radio signals from space and then we have our man made a scan it to look for patterns which we wouldn't be able to find on our own 2 feet in transcriptions from space interpreted by using familiar harmonies it's a bit by bit bizarre yet somehow sublime.

and it's been so blind when talking to you through this robot controlled studio camera thanks for watching arts and culture remember to follow us on facebook and twitter at d.f.w. culture all the best for me i'm a career here and when see you next time. the

tax cuts. this is g.w. news live from the outgoing u.s. president backs down and signs a huge coronavirus relief bill donald trump's course reversal means millions of cash strapped americans will get government payments so why did donald trump change his mind. when fascinations for coronavirus underway in the european union there are now questions about why production of the drug came he sped up.

welcome to the program. u.s. president donald trump has signed into law a $900000000000.00 coronavirus relief package that would deliver money directly to businesses and individual taxpayers the president retreated from his threat to veto the bill and from his demand that congress increase stimulus checks from $600.00 per adult to 2000 which is something democrats pushed for and his own republican party opposed the delay of almost a week meant that unemployment benefits lapsed for millions of people and threatened a government shutdown now for more let's go to our core stuff correspondent stephanie simons who is in washington for us tell us more about the details of this package what's in it for americans who have been waiting for it. well

there's 3 major things one it increases the amount of unemployment money people become gets because it's federal monies $300.00 and it extends unemployment checks for 11 weeks plus most americans that depends on what their income is in come was last year will get $600.00 a one time payments that is the compromise you had mentioned republicans and democrats struck and which the democrats are now trying to make again $2000.00 after donald trump said it should be $2000.00 republicans are not doing this however what happened through the because of the delay of the president and that we're talking about one day here that means that about 12000000 americans will not have any income any unemployment money for about a week why is that because the president signed the bill too late to the states we're processing this payment or processing those payments they can't fix their and

change their computers their software is fast enough in the for 1x2ww americans so that they get their payment in time that means 12000000 people will literally have if not supported by relatives or friends no money another week for a week starting about in a week from now stuff and this latest coronavirus relief package has been going back and forth for months now since the summer why did trump who 1st one of the money then go against it finally step back and say ok i'm going to sign this. well if if you trust. what you hear on the force behind the big doors and some experts and overt servers see a political plug into the house and around donald trump and the people who he's surrounding himself with if you believe those people then it was that the

president just succumbed to kind of pressure because there was no way that refusing to sign this bill any way in any way or form good on the president anymore so i think he just pulled the emergency brake here and said ok i have to sign otherwise i go down in history as somebody who causes even more have all despair here in this country so the political pressure was probably really really really intense there however we're talking about donald trump who knows in the end what the motivation of president trump was to then sign 1st send his negotiator into the negotiating he comes back with this deal then chris republicans agree on it then he says ok great then he says no i'm not signing it and then roll back again flip flop now i'm signing it unfortunately a day too late for many many millions they will have a week of no income what's the. right stuff and sam will leave it there with you in washington thank you very much thousands of people have now received to be on tech

pfizer vaccine across the european union which began a coordinated vaccine rollout on sunday but supplies are limited in member states are there for prioritizing medical staff nursing home workers and the elderly that has pressure growing on the german government to ensure quicker production of the vaccine now the country will it will receive $1300000.00 doses the vaccine by the year's end that's according to the german health ministry but it's minister says mass production can't happen over night. he would let me know by now i mean they just that some people have the impression that vaccine production one of the most complicated and challenging fields in the pharmaceutical industry could just simply be wrapped up and will in the coming weeks just stop producing extra vaccine doses elsewhere in germany or europe to do this preparations need to be made those preparations are underway and our goal was to soon be producing additional vaccine

in coordination with my own site so that. williams us for our science desk and he's with me now he's been covering the pandemic. daily cove in 1900. 2021 derek good to have you with us what do you make of the political response to the pandemic. well that's that's kind of a pretty broad question isn't it i mean i think it depends on the country they live in different countries have reacted in different ways in the u.s. for example i think there's a pretty broad consensus that things have been pretty catastrophic in terms of communication from the government here in germany i think the government gets a much better report card and other countries that have done especially well take new zealand for example geographical factors that have certainly played a role of being an island but really that would have made much less of a difference if the communication from on high from the government had not been as

clear as it was in general i would say that clear communications from the government and from politicians has really played a key role and in in saying whether or not they've dealt with this virus well or not if the public feels sort of honestly informed and they know what the plan is then they're more likely to stick to the rules that will help prevent the spread of the virus so stay with us for a 2nd there because today is exactly one year since china 1st informed the world health organization that cases of what they were saying pneumonia with an unknown cause had been reported in the city of han so let's have a look at just how far the world has come since that moment the epicenter of a global disaster the woo hand went to market in january 2020 have met equally sealed off but it was too late. the novel coronavirus had already spread to humans

from animals sold here setting off a deadly pandemic the 1st coded 1000 death was recorded in wu han on january 11th a month later the disease had killed more people in china than the sars outbreak in 2003. with hospitals overflowing a city of 11000000 went into fool lockdown drastic social distancing measures allowed china to contain the virus but by know the pandemic had long spread beyond its borders with europe becoming the next hot spot by the end of march italy had overtaken china as the washed hit country in the city of bear the army was called in to cart off the coffins of those who perished in the hospitals when emergency wards ran out of ventilators doctors had to choose who wish to live or to die. on me from 9th a grim milestone 100000 corporate 1000 deaths worldwide 2 days later the us

registered the most coronavirus deaths in any country a status that maintained for the rest of the year in new york bodies piled up in a marriage and storage outside hospitals here too they were no longer able to cope with the case law and as a long time sought to bring down spiraling infection rates the city that never sleeps ground to a halt. the spread slowed over the summer but that did not stop the global corporate 19 death toll from reaching 1000000 in september sense then colder weather has driven a result of the virus as the numbers keep rising the world is pinning its hopes on newly developed vaccines to wrest control back from the virus. but with doses limited it will be months yet before the global immunization drive really takes off . airplanes back with us now there when was it clear to

you just how dangerous and dramatic a situation the world was facing. well the pen to make or this disease hit my radar last january 6th but it did really become a kind of for me personally a full on obsession really in south and south everywhere but there were a couple of key warning signs i think for me really of an absolute fundamental one was was when they said that human to human transmission was possible that was that was a really scary moment and mid january and that was followed by these high as the minutes of the reproduction number are are not which meant that it was some some experts were guessing that was pretty highly infectious so. at the latest i would say that by the time it had italy and march i knew that this was going to be something that was here to stay for a while so in your in your special there's a popular segment where viewers get to ask their questions how of those questions

changed as the pandemic has changed. well at the beginning the questions were all really pretty basic and they were and they were kind of driven by fear they were they were hiding questions so so how do how do i protect myself or maybe you can kind of get it from from from the water from the water supply they were short they were limited and i was able to answer 2 or 3 per day but but over time as people as we've learned more and more about this virus and about this endemic they've the questions have become more complex so so now there are there there are things like how do messenger r.n.a. vaccines work which obviously just take more time to answer so so i'm only answering one a day now and because the interesting questions are simply too short too too complex to answer really and half a minute can you give us a quick snapshot of what you see for the year to come. what i see for the year to

come on i'm feeling at this point pretty optimistic i haven't always felt that way i've made a bet with a colleague that i'm probably going to lose that i'm that i'm going to be my 1st vaccination by the end of march here and in germany of course it depends on where you lives how. i have great hopes that i might be able to take a vacation at least here in europe by the summer i think we'll all be. crossing our fingers for that eric williams been covering a covert 19 for d. w. for us thanks very much thank you let's take a look at some of the other stories making headlines right now bangladesh is relocating a 2nd group of orange or muslims from an overcrowded refugee camp to an isolated island in the bay of bengal about 1500 people who fled persecution in me and maher are expected on the island unto use day the facility can hold up to 100000 people.

a chinese court has begun hearing the case against 12 hong kong activists charged with illegally fleeing the territory china intercepted their speedboat last august allegedly en route to taiwan the defendant's families accuse beijing of carrying out a secret trial. chinese citizen john has been sentenced to 4 years in prison for reporting on 1000 outbreak during the early months of the pandemic john was detained in may after posting videos criticizing the government's response lawyers for the 37 year old say she's been on a hunger strike and is in poor health. police pushing journalists back outside the court building where yet another journalist was being sentenced. 4 years behind bars for citizen journalists. the charges picking quarrels and provoking trouble john has been in prison since may she went on a hunger strike and her lawyers claim she was force fed through

a nasal tube. after i explained to her what kind of punishment she could expect she was determined to follow through with her hunger strike come what may. i reminded her of the risks but she said she knew in her heart what she was doing was right. during the lockdown and john john put up critical posts on twitter and you tube both blocked by the chinese government her reports dealt with everyday problems in hospitals and official corruption jon jon is one of several citizen journalists who ran afoul of the authorities in. the way there are many similar cases of human rights abuses in china you never hear from these people again some are allowed to go home others disappear john john is the only one to actually end up in court. the government has reacted harshly to any criticism of its handling of the coronavirus outbreak it appears determined to stop journalists like john john from muddying the

official message that its response was both swift and effective. this is g.w. news up next business news with then presume we're back with more news at the top of the hour and always you can get the latest get up your dot com and on twitter and instagram a t w news from one blue cruft thanks for watching. the story of producer propaganda. they were called the ryan month bastards born after the 1st world war. their mothers were germans living in the occupied drying land their fathers were soldiers from the french colonies the families half of the german children had a hard time because they were reminded of the german defeat. exclusion and

contempt committed against forced sterilization under the nazis. who spoke human examines the few traces that remained of their existence. the children if she. starts january 11th on d.w. . south africa is the 1st african nation to log a 1000000 cases of the coronavirus says a new strain could explain the rapid spread of a 2nd wave that's especially affected younger people we look at the economic fallout as. an attempt to clear the yeah the fellas electric a profit from slovenia take self its emissions free. said it could. to be the standard to point the future and was it so for britain's financial sector it's unclear under the break the trade deal we talked to a fin take c.e.o.

who stitched london for amsterdam. that's the business south africa has become the 1st country on the african continent to suppose a 1000000 coronavirus cases and you variant of the virus thought to be more rapidly transmissible is spreading leading to travel bans to and from south africa the pandemic has already hit africa's 2nd largest economy hard in late summer the economy had recovered slightly mainly due to the easing of lockdown restrictions front for the holiday season restrictions but tightened somewhat analysts expected to take around 5 years for the south african economy to fully recover from the crisis. but that's a long white how a south african is going to fare during that time as far as the joins us from cape town ellis which sectors are hurting hardest right now i mentioned tourism of course. yes definitely juror ism is one of them and usually mainly here in cape

town where i have this is top season for for tourism for international tourism you'll hear french german and people from all around the world coming to you senator genera february because these are well months and actually a lot of the tourism people i spoke to are actually hoping that some tourists were still wanted to come to south africa but then this new mutation of a virus also in south africa and bumped up that might be spreading faster some airlines stopped flying altogether are starting again but i think the fear now is just too big and i don't think we'll see many international and visitors back so yeah that their hope to make up a little bit of the loss i think is gone now as well for this year to be whatever south africa does the pandemic has hit hard already and it's only set to hit harder why not take the bad medicine and look down properly. yet has all to do with with

this pine balance in south africa between lives and livelihoods i mean to defer just wave we saw there over 2000000 jobs got lost and and indeed now actually mainly today and the hospitals are actually saying to the government something needs to happen because we don't have capacity anymore for all these stations so soon come up also the president will address the nation tonight so i do think we can expect more measures i don't think i will go back to that heart lockdown basically because a lot of people here won't survive as you said something's got to happen is that going to be the vaccine. you know we don't have that hope yet here i know it and lot of western countries you know we see the 1st injections orders at least roll out plans and here we don't know much yet about what the government is planning and they bought some. scenes i have called vaccination tive from the world health organization

a modest but that might only come in the 1st half of next year and that really cover probably 10 percent of the population but what for the rest of the population and that might take years in the problem is that south africa you know they don't have the financial means to preorder like all these western countries do firstly to see which vaccines are going to work and which ones were best as well in a south african context so and there again as well because we don't know yet what's going to happen you're going to vaccines and because it can't take long it also means that the economy won't be able to already go into into a new mode like in the western countries and that will only mean that inequality of countries that don't have the vaccine yes will get bigger and bigger with the rest of the world that's where it's really going to hurt for a lot of people a lot of families to elephant go to forests in cape town thank you. a brief look at some of the other business stories making news the european

commission says officials will distribute an initial 200000000 doses of byan takes coronavirus vaccine by september it will need vaccines from other suppliers to inoculate the a use entire population of 450000000. greek police have hit scores of residents with locked down fines of 300 euros for being outside their homes without good reason or failing to wear modest one man who turned his storage room into a small restaurant has been reportedly fined 3000 euros. and reuters says the u.s. environmental protection agency is set to finalize its 1st proposed rules regulating greenhouse gas emissions from airplanes that had a line in the united states with international standards critics say the rules and tough enough. for flying is noisy expensive and pollutes the planet but that could soon change scientists and companies from around the world are researching emissions free technologies much hope is being placed in solutions like solar power

or electric engines this new aircraft from slovenia has been turning heads since its recent certification. it's not an audio glitch this airplane really is this quiet is that it's called the valis and its battery powered develops is the 1st certified aircraft of its kind instead of a gas tank indicator the instruments indicate battery levels. it was still in the same month that kicked off the company 30 years ago it was to make flying cheaper and electricity is cheaper than fuel it's also quieter it was again another step into this direction where we wanted to approach flying to more people since summer pip distro has sold 50 of its villas planes the aircraft is a sticker price of $160000.00 euros the company was able to do but automakers couldn't they were offering their electric aircraft at the same price as a combustion engine aircraft the slovenian company has pioneered

a new way of thinking among pilots. so the market is interesting you know it turns relatively quickly from naysayers for people from people who might in the majority say this is not practical not useful it doesn't make sense to oh it's cool it works i saw it somewhere so maybe it's time for me to consider it as well but what helps the most is the noise aspect to pilots in switzerland have opened up the world's 1st electric flight school they were only allowed to open the school at this location because the aircraft is so much quieter than a standard plane the only hitch its 140 kilo battery is out of juice after only 50 minutes not a problem though. we have to realize that electric flying already makes sense in basic training because the plane's duration is pretty much exactly the amount of time we need for a flight lesson one lesson last 40 minutes and that's what we can fly without any

problems using today's technology. that we're going to make these electric aircraft are undoubtedly just the beginning of the slovenian manufacturer has been working on clean propulsion aircraft for 13 years including this electric motor glider the head of development as to mates that in 5 years the villa's will be able to fly 100 minutes using improved batteries when it comes to the future of electric aircraft the sky's the limit. you could call it a small miracle with a deadline looming london and brussels came together to seal a deal on trade relations on christmas eve a lot was made about how fisheries could sink the deal but that wasn't the only sector in need of clarity. it's a rough life out there at sea cold white windy but the hard work pays off when the fishermen reel in their nets herring mackerel sole place and pollock for the whole

market and for export competition between british and other e.u. fisherman has been strong for decades disagreement over who can fish weier and how much so as not to deplete fishing grounds was one of the main points holding up rex and talks after intense haggling both sides seem satisfied. all the time that we were in the e.u. we were in the common fisheries policy. that act as a constraint on our coastal communities it meant but fishing industry to call and now we have a chance to turn the corner. certainly good news for the fishing sector but what about the british economy in general. phishing represents only 0.2 percent of britain's g.d.p. it pales in comparison to other sectors like the financial sector with banks and exchanges and the city of london which represents roughly a 10th of the british economy. no longer part of the e.u.

london doesn't have to play by brussels rulebook and some hold that the country can establish itself as a european version of singapore using business friendly regulation to learn new partners. the financial sector is of course a gaping hole in the break of brussels correspondent alexander phenomenon spoke with the chief executive of a fin tech startup who left london for amsterdam because of break that uncertainty . where a currency refence a company we had offices in new york and london but because of bricks that we had to expand to mainland europe and open office in another you member states so we decided to come to the netherlands and particularly. in a fit for us the benefits of being here and i said this gives us access to a lot of top talent i think the netherlands is a really safe going through environment. of particularly strong and growing fin

tech sector and now the european union and the u.k. agreed on a trade agreements of that so has to be reza sayah but it's it's going to be in place as we expect by the end of determination pay it but it sets very little about financial services so what does it mean for companies like yours who don't have an office in the opinion you know if you don't have an office you need to find partners to work with who do so for us it meant that we came out here about 2 years ago to set up an office and to be ready for any outcome of brecht's it's because we anticipated that this could be an option all along that there will be no arrangement for financial services how do you see brics it is more of of a challenge or maybe it's also now puts you need to for financial institutions to operate both in the u.k. and in the e.u. it's always a challenge because you have to find a contingency plan put that in action. so it's a challenge at 1st but it also gave us opportunities not it we're out here to to be

announced and to forge a new relationships with other companies who are out here as well. finally we all know the golden arches how about a golden hamburger to a restaurant in the colombian capital bogota is offering a juicy 24 karat gold topped burger for a whopping 211000 pesos 50 euros each sandwich contains the beef patties bacon and cheese and 5 cases of edible gold leaves imported from the us you know hopes to bring you calorie experiences through colombians on able to travel due to the coronavirus. i just take the exchange most of business with.

the going gets tough the bricks in agreement is here. for most it's more than sweet. our report is be a good man us and we must travel through the u.k. the e.u. and beyond. winners and losers close on. 60 minutes on d. w.
