they want their record as the bundesliga worst ever teen to stand was that's it for now i'll be back with more news if you need before then there's always that web site to be found at www dot com and you can follow some social channels as well the handle is at the news for now though i'm acting out from in the tank here in berlin thanks for. literature invites us to see people in particular. i like to see some stupid stein. might try to. work a friend. to do the books on youtube. the fight against the corona virus pandemic. has the rate of infection been developing. good measures are being taken. what

does the latest research say. information and context. the coronavirus up to the code of structural monday to friday w. . u.s. and european stocks. territory a pandemic recovery package has american investors excited britons breaks a deal with the e.u. has sponsored liberation is on trading floors on this side of the atlantic. a 2nd wave hit south africa the government announces a coronal curfew the whole band and streets mosques rules vendors could be jailed for up a year. and an attempt to clear the air the 1st of its kind of electric aircraft

from slovenia take off these emissions free flying in the future. and pay for school and that's their business it's up and away equities went crazy in the united states and europe on monday we're in the middle of what could be the worst crisis in our lifetimes and stock markets the trumpeting what looks like a soon to come recovery we're far from it but there is finally hope for those struggling financially with us president told trump suddenly backing down on sunday to sign a 2.3 trillion dollar pandemic a bill that restores unemployment benefits to millions of americans and avert a government shutdown. that was a record high on the new york stock exchange but is the optimism about an economic recovery hopeful its quota is on wall street for us what did change trump's mind. well i mean we don't know for certain if the us president ever really wanted to veto the bill or if he would just was pushing hard for the $2000.00 per american

citizen and not just 600 what is now in the bill so maybe he just wanted to shine bright in the eyes of the u.s. population but well eventually we got the bill on its way and what donald trump did is he delayed the whole process and that they actually in the end might have cost the unemployed americans a couple of billions of dollars. it's cost. struggles that's for sure but another day of juicy profits for investors definitely we saw new records all over the board all the big new sees the nasdaq composite the dow jones of the s. and p. 500 all hitting new highs at the beginning of the week the nasdaq composite by now by the way is up more than 40 percent so the tech heavy index is up more than 40 percent since the beginning of the year. germany's dax also finished

a record high of monday put all this into perspective what's it mean for people around the world is it good to make their lives better. well i mean if you look at the stock market it depends if you're invested or not and clearly americans are more invested than the counterparts in germany i've seen recently a number that retail investors so small investors now make up about 20 to 25 percent of the u.s. stock market here a goal that was maybe about 10 percent so yes people who are invested in the stock market clearly profited from that and now that the 8 pickett's is underway that might also strengthen the u.s. economy and germany is not really well known so that retail investors are on a broad base invested in the stock market so. accordingly they do not really participated that much from what's going on but maybe one final word we definitely shouldn't forget all year long what's happening on the stock market and what's

happening on main street is a definitely not the same. point to finish. thank you. south africa has imposed tighter coronavirus rules it says a new strain could explain the rapid spread of a 2nd wave that's affected many young people it's led to travel bans to and from south africa tourism industry president cyril ramaphosa this monday reimposing a bad on alcohol sales and ordering the closure of all boz has also announced the closure of beaches and public swimming pools in hotspots like cape town johannesburg and turban wearing masks in public is mandatory otherwise expect fines or prison not curfews being extended from 9 pm to 6 am as our correspondent points out the rules a strict so years from now on you can end up in jail if you don't wear a free small scale in south africa coffee year prison and on fine so that's one of

the drastic measures how trying to basically push people here in compliance with rules that were already here we already had a few small sproule and not a regulation that people might not be too happy about is that we're going into a 3rd barren on alcohol sales and that will impact of course restaurants and cafes liquor stores and the wine industry in the western cape near cape town but the president saying it is needed it's we need hospital beds freedom now taken up by people that have been trying to march and driving or got into fights and also our whole place is a big row in so-called super spreader events and now we're mainly young people have been partying and drinking and where we've seen a lot of transmission of the virus so he wants to stop all of those. time now for a quick look at some of the other business stories making news and and identified group of american philanthropists plans to spend 150000 doses of send them from

relations on christmas eve a lot was made about how fisheries could sink it that wasn't the only problem carrying weight. 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 way air and how much so as not to deplete fishing grounds was one of the main points holding up the 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 is a constraint on our coastal communities it meant that our fishing industry declined now we have a chance to turn the corner. certainly good news for the fishing sector but what

about the british economy in general fishing 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 hope that the country can establish itself as a european version of singapore using business friendly regulation or new partners . and you aircraft from slovenia is turning heads it's a lot quieter as a smaller carbon footprint and is actually quite affordable it's all thanks to electric propulsion and decades of research the question is could it change the way we fly. it's not an audio clip this airplane really is this quiet is that

it's called the valis and it's 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 pippa stroll has sold 50 of its villas planes the aircraft is a sticker price of $160000.00 euros the company was able to do what automakers couldn't they're 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 and all 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 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 it's $140.00 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 less in the 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 the slovenian manufacturer has been

working on clean propulsion aircraft for 13 years including this electric motor glider. the head of development estimates 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. business with it.

textile company in central java was on the brink of collapse the company belong to michelle chalk such a boutros father after his death she took over the reins she was still only in her mid twenty's and inexperienced that nearest was in that debt situation because of the 98 crisis so i had it by my local fire it was still in there. like a bat that's the place and so it was that we couldn't pay. install windows fans. we call it category 5 in smoke liquid it was challenging and then but it also set the course of my journey. the young business woman took decisive action . took home loans and invested in modern technology significantly increasing the factories efficiency i'm reducing its impact on the environment. i think.

a pandemic sustainability remains an important issue. now we turn to pile and when like in india farmers often blow in the lift from their harvest billows of smoke since. the chemicals into the atmosphere contributing to the greenhouse gases wasn't climate change but one young woman has had an enterprising idea about how to make that practice go up in smoke. after every harvest thailand's rice farmers burn off the remaining rice straw and stubble to clear the land. the acrid smoke carries far and wide on the wind. in the northern province of lampung the harvest is underway since early in the morning women have been out in the fields cutting the sheaves with their sickles. feet.

there's a lot of straw left on the field typically a kilogram a kilogram of rice if it's left to rot it'll release me fame a potent greenhouse gas but burning the straw emits a c o 2 and creates fine particulate matter that's harmful to people and the environment. one common one wants to change things after completing her studies in bangkok she decided to return to her home village and develop an alternative meaning. i mean if we're going to. get patients very hard to. grow rice and. it tasted a long time and after the. saw it. but it's very nice that when i come to my hometown i don't share in that lie if you will rise much i find solutions far off learning forests for the entrepreneur rice troy's not waste to be disposed of

but a valuable resource. on she pays the farmers the equivalent of $0.03 a kilo. the golden stalks abroad by the truckload to honey or buy factory. here the straw is chopped up because the air is full of fine straw particles everyone has to wear a face mask. them a small pieces of straw a mixed with hot water no chemicals are added but the mixture has to boil for 4 hours. that produces a pulpy mess which is then cleaned and dried. on the factory floor we meet up again with the farmers from the rice field.

you can you know this is a very good thing that i salute it used to be that we had no work after the rice harvest. but with this factory job i can improve my income whether you want to even go to. the pump is used to make biodegradable paper packaging but machines to process the pulp are expensive so the entrepreneur exports the raw material to india we have the customer because india bassam watch off. and table. and they last off the raw material and they contact us and they add they are really interesting you know our product because. of our product and see the special feature of the table where it is a fit. coating of rice starch which helps the product resist greased heat and liquids in a 2 hour test with a popeye a salad the dish stayed leakproof. the

next day she pays a visit to the city of chiang mai the economic and cultural heart of northern thailand. at chiang mai university they also conduct research into rice the auditorium is designed to resemble a grain of rice. here scientists support thai start ups with their expertise. you are one come one would like to manufacture takeaway food packaging made of rice straw in her own factory she hopes it will become financially feasible. she's especially interested in the research as work on improving the rice starch film say that it takes longer to dissolve. what do people here actually need tableware made of rice straw. as in most cities in thailand life here is largely outdoors the hundreds of street vendors and food stamps all

use disposable containers. if you want to start up your own production one vendor says and pay attention to the sizes of the world shouldn't be too large or the customers will think the portions are too small and the price is important one box but piece would be ok. i am not. one but is the equivalent of $0.03. that has a lot of coffee shop concepts about being anti. high speed light at 40 feet up this mosque in the past to us last week encourage. the rest. of the small restaurants. in the back in her home village of one common one is visiting her grandparents. and that yet. this is where she started her business

a few years ago. she carried out of 1st experiments with white straw pulp in her grandmother's cooking pots. at 1st her grandparents were far from thrilled is this why they had sent my grandchild to study at great expense in the capital. oh no i did your doc but meanwhile they have ample reason to be proud of her. and as the saying goes the rice farmers of lump of learned how to turn straw into gold. because burning it would be a terrible waste. now millions of children are employed. in the textile sector in india this is just one of the many sectors where they meet to work in meeting the hope sustain their families from one of the mixed among profit organization in mumbai is making sure some of

the city's poorest children have the right and the chance to please and not to get what are you about the realities of life. the pilot of that is not is not just didn't let it stimulating the mind but it's also very powerful in a way that it's breaking sony vaio is that a comedian and kids are allowed to be kids again just being simple enjoy their childhood. i just believe that working with these kids in the you know what they. it truly needed it's not about dissolve the true need is again shouldn. through play at very young ages you're likely you can more of them we keep reading about why the

world is such a bad these and it's filled with such bad elements and you know why is somebody a criminal and all of that in this world but if you trace it back it always goes back to their childhood. with kindness and love and empathy i think you can really change the way this whole world functions. and. i became more challenging for us still people about. the power to believe what is right to believe what's meant invade being a child levels all of these things of any. 2 people you know and because there are so many other problems all soldiers still have all the keys either huge heaven and i mean who would talk about believe in a child is going on we saw it became it becomes even now really challenging for us to articulate this but having said that i mean hunger of the mind is even worse if

you ask me because in the good of a doctor he says. this like language and you say you can't see it but it's happening all around us mental health and mental they've been used to think very similar people can see it so if you don't see it you don't think it's a problem suddenly when in a bad mood you fight with your husband mother or father whatever women or you pretty much in a bad mood arrested the d. just imagine that day is your life many of these kids have had a back stop to life and it just goes on for the rest of their lives. and then you bellow my life and. i don't believe in conventional beings there are people believe it is pushing it i'm just full of belief systems soul it wasn't that how lucky for me the allowed me to be you i am as long as i was financially independent. judging came on you when you realize

that we don't have any money because you are a liberal nobody finds organisations like god's. ways are very easy. that's the one word god step is one even gone. so it becomes a game and it becomes very challenging for us. we walk with almost 55000 kids every week and unless and until these kids are mentally not. able to understand what's right from wrong by themselves. and nothing is going to change you. know. that's inspiring isn't it i hope today's episode has encouraged you to examine your choices when it comes to your belongings of all the clothes you would have on the floor in a chair you buy i'll leave you with that part and see you next week until then stay safe and good care of yourself and your loved ones go by.
