this is the deputy news line from berlin the e.u. and china open then markets brussels and beijing seal an investment deal after 17 years of talks but is the e.u. putting business before human rights also coming up deadly explosions ripped through the game and i think airport to lock the target a plane carrying the country's newly formed unity government and the signed and sealed you can prime minister bars johnson and e.u. leaders put their signatures to the post brings a trade. i'm

anthony held welcome to the program the european union has struck a controversy 0 investment deal with china they use has high yield the accord saying it will give european companies better access to chinese markets but critics say those economic benefits come at the expense of human rights. for 7 years european union representatives have been haggling with china at the negotiating table the results were presented at a joint 1st show press conference. market access for both sides will be improved a level playing field means that chinese state owned enterprises will no longer be given preferential treatment through subsidies and for the 1st time china commits to following environmental climate social as well as occupational health and safety
12:02 am
standards but when it comes to those standards chinese president xi jinping made only veg promises in the agreement china has imprisoned up to $1000000.00 readers in labor and reeducation camps and changing province she has promised to sign a convention against forced labor but no date has been set and sanctions haven't been discussed even take promises around market access haven't been convincing what the the premier the stories concerning to the chinese companies that they hammer says the european market which they always have the problem is the other way around it's about that yes it's a european companies to the chinese market which has always been more close in terms of investment because of the way that china entered into the world trade organization as a developing economy was special rights. even though there have been some breakthroughs concerning competition both sides are not yet on equal footing so
12:03 am
they were most likely meet more often around the negotiating table in the coming years. or up let's bring in sufi richardson the china director of human rights watch so i think welcome from the opposition i wonder what did you see what do you read between the lines of this tried to you. well i think there are 2 variables here that should make everyone quite skeptical and the 1st is that the chinese government is just devoid of credibility when it comes to commitments not just her and human rights but around issues of trade or even security and this is a government that regularly signs binding international agreements and then ignores them but i think the other variable is that there is very strong evidence the use of force labor in. europe that has been acknowledged by the e.u. and member state governments and there's almost no ability to do the kind of due diligence that's necessary to check on that problem and so one looks at this it. really has to wonder why anybody believes that beijing will pursue any sorts of
12:04 am
reforms i'm forced labor other issues in good faith and so does that then speak to the reason why it wasn't the e.u. firm no with china in terms of a solid commitment to a deadline to improve both human and worker rights but i think there are a lot of variables at stake there and let's recall that one of the european parliament which is which is taking a very strong stand on a number of human rights and she is in china still has to ratify the deal but you know even if you look back at the last 10 years of reports by the e.u. chamber of commerce in china you know what you would see is report after report after report complaining about all of the ways in which the chinese government violates the rules that have already been agreed upon and so again it's very hard to see how this new deal will somehow be magically different. so if you've raised the point that the deal still needs to be ratified in the european parliament does that mean there is still the chance of meaningful improvements to be made to the
12:05 am
deal. well either one hopes that either meaningful improvements or ringback a much more honest conversation that what the e.u. really does value we've heard a lot of discussion the last couple of days about the use values and how they're reflected in this deal and i just struggle to see how the e.u. can both condemn the existence of forced labor in china and then sign a deal with the chinese government that doesn't solve those problems 1st that should be foundational if the e.u. and europeans really care that the clothes they're wearing weren't made by forced labor so if you bridget's in china director of human rights watch thanks so much and you. at least 22 people have been killed and dozens wounded in an attack on the international airport in yemen the blast went off just as members of the new

guinea government returned from saudi arabia so far no group has claimed responsibility the original blast was then followed by another explosion near the presidential palace several hours later. it was meant to be a moment to celebrate. a newly formed government disembarking their unity a symbol of their promise to end yemen's long civil war. instead chaos. through explosions shortly after the plane's arrival broke to the airport a local security source says more time shells landed on the border. witnesses described hearing sporadic gunfire soon off so. how is later another explosion was reported be the presidential palace. this was a cowardly terrorist attack. the government is an odd into spy and to exercise its
12:07 am
duties and operations with the strong will of our people. the acts of terror will not stop us from doing our work because. you know you have to hear the good will of the ministers have all been reported safe after the attack they were returning from the saudi capital where they had been sworn in as part of a cabinet reshuffle that reshuffle so yemen's internationally recognized government and themselves and separatists from a power sharing cabinet their aim is to forge a joint front against iran backed the rebels who seized the country's capital and much of the north in 2014 plunging the country into an ongoing civil war. while no one has claimed responsibility for the explosions that pullout blame has fallen on the v.c. whose power in yemen is threatened by the new government alliance. ok let's take a look now at some of the other international stories syria's state news agency says

a new record high of almost $29000.00 the value of the critter currency has quadrupled this year as investors hedge against u.s. dollar weakness and the risk of inflation. all in another landmark deal british prime minister bars johnson has signed off on the brakes a trade agreement between the european union and the united kingdom they used top officials earlier put their signatures to the accord which goes into force on new year's day. you could get the impression the british prime minister just wanted to sign it as quickly as possible. after putting his name to the more than $1000.00 pages of complicated legal language parse johnson seemed upbeat. good thank you very much everybody that i wanted was one star. the treaty that i just saw yeah and. i think the beginning of what will be a wonderful relationship between the u.k.
12:10 am
and britain bought this in the. book with us today you know the 10 days here it is but. i mean the question you ask yourself is if i was really. yes is this a deal for the country. to get their heads around the document like this members of parliament would usually require months but the british know our house pushed it through and just half a day $52173.00 voted against the deal which officially puts an end to years of break that negotiations were going to become a friendly neighbor the best friend and ally the e.u. good how are working hand in glove when ever our values and interests coincide while fulfilling the so really wish of the british people to live under their own laws but it comes at a price and pains from northern ireland and scotland voiced their concerns that the
12:11 am
unity of the united kingdom was now under threat the opposition labor party agreed to the deal largely because it didn't have a choice a thin deal is better than no deal adopted preventing this deal made immediate tariffs and quotas with the e.u. which will push up prices and drive businesses to the wall it will mean huge gaps in security for usually does put been named to the deal earlier on wednesday fit within flown by the royal air force to britain to be signed. but with many aspects of a deal not yet final the saga is not over yet. a correspondent in london mass has more on what exactly the post breaks the deal means for the u.k. both johnson has signed the bread's a deal that he has reached with the e.u. and parliament had its roots in the however many critics of this process in
12:12 am
parliament are saying that practically it's not enough so the m.p.'s only had a few hours to debate this really complex agreement with the european union and given the fact that the great city isn't always promised that brags it was all about taking back control and giving control to the u.k. parliament many parliamentarians were very frustrated that they only had a few hours to look into this agreement however the deal is done and boris johnson obviously is celebrating the fact that he accomplished taking the u.k. out of the european union that there is more 70 free or for example the european court of justice critics are saying that he is not clear about the trade offs that he's not explaining to the country that yes there is more serving tea but economically there are trade offs and even though there is a deal a trade deal with the e.u. that there will be extra trade barriers for example for manufacturers there'll be much more paperwork when they want to deal with the european customers or clients
12:13 am
and that boris johnson and his brick city years have never made it clear and obviously on a day like this they are not talking about it either. the mass in london there will meanwhile britain has become the 1st country to authorize the coronavirus vaccine developed by astra zeneca and oxford university it comes as the u.k. battles a surge in new coded 19 cases this latest vaccine is cheaper and easier to transport than the by pfizer and modern versions but trial data suggests it's not as effective there is also uncertainty about the best dosage dr john campbell is an independent health analyst based in the u.k. earlier we asked him how important this new vaccine it's this new vaccine is the best news we've had in the pandemic it is going to change the situation entirely now in the united kingdom we're going to start a mass rollout of this vaccine from the 4th of january we're going to be
12:14 am
vaccinating a 1000000 people a week from that point and that certainly go to build up as the logistics and infrastructure develops and as well as that what we're going to do is we're going to give one dose of this vaccine and then wait a full 3 months before we give the 2nd dose so that means an awful lot of people are going to start to get a fairly good level of immunity straightaway without waiting for the 2nd dose and of course it also means we can vaccinate many more people so it really is going to change the situation in the united kingdom and in time in europe. that was dr john campbell in the u.k. well meanwhile germany has registered more than a 1000 coronavirus deaths in a single 24 hour period it's the highest toll since the pandemic begun and public health officials say that's partly because of the delay in reporting of the christmas holidays but new cases have been hard to out december specially among the elderly it's feared the number of deadly deaths could climb even higher in coming weeks. that's it from

100 people were killed in 2 weeks as a result of protest a probe is ongoing to establish who is behind the violence the keatings shoe and she was just coming to terms with assault by south i'm just hopeful that nigeria will concede a point where. we can walk on the streets and not be afraid of getting killed by blowing force. this you need to fall and taking in nigeria's capital used to be a symbol of democracy and free speech but when protesters try to come in here they're west talked and where are the brutalized from in an idea and it's a symbol that democracy is eroding and it's a tonic to a dictatorship the ongoing probe looking into the police brutality comb prints were now so its findings are in next year but it doesn't lead to faith into the

out how they had been affected by the 1st infestation. they were only there for one day a mid january but of my congress was invaded by desert locusts that ate everything from grains to beans and even an entire field of watermelons but that's not all. that is like i do know. normally by this time they're ready for harvest. but the locusts have destroyed them all. the flowers even the leaves. of the will to seed. the locusts eat everything in their way in a day and one square kilometer swarm of locusts could eat as much food as 35000 people. at this time of year my congress granary za usually filled to the brim but now they're practically empty. memory now you could

12:31 am
to business the european union and china have struck a deal on a comprehensive investment agreement it comes after 7 years of talks the e.u. hails the accord as a major win for automakers and other european companies seeking to do business with beijing but critics accuse brussels of ignoring human rights concerns and risking a rift with washington the deal still has to be finalized and ratified a process that could take several months i asked for more for his take on the deal he's director of the asia and china program at the european council on foreign relations a padded european think tank. i think it's business rather than critics it's a product of the trade and it's a product of the german presidency by chancellor merkel who prioritize really. the industry issues and maybe that should be right for me this new deal the only problem is that in china everything is political nothing is purely economy so my
12:32 am
main worry when i look at the supposed draft of the deed nobody has the final text by the way and even today is not the final text but if they're still have to be written in more run a look at i worry about what's the section mechanism what's the very thick ation mechanism there are lots of restrictions put on by the chinese side and you know depending on the depending on the capacity. a lot of accent of the mystic euro and we know what that is in china very little on arbitration mechanism in fact what passes as rb tradition is often top level reviewed by both parties meaning the e.u. and china an eventual difficulties which means a process that should be legal and straightforward runs the risk of being very political one way or another well tell me more about that because only. because an
12:33 am
illegal mechanism is something that is it is extremely important in this sort of investment deal when we look at examples like tech talk t.j. i while away setting all of these chinese companies that have caused a lot of controversy and tense relations between the u.s. and the e.u. what's going to happen. on the one hand there's nothing to prevent either the e.u. or china from performing a so-called investment screening according to their rules and therefore forbidding an investment on national security grounds or something that passes national security or because there runs that's the positive side is that the hand of the e.u. is not hampered by the deed but what i worry about is how do you sauls quire a loss in the implementation in the implementation of actual investments you don't see a court of arbitration an international court of arbitration you see
12:34 am
a lot of recourse again to the dumbest close of both parties into eventual negotiation on top there is going to be a review mechanism twice a year for example about this but to me it's not a legal process and as such it's a dangerous process to manage the safety the security of the basement and that should concern investors whatever the opening looks like it is. at the beginning of the crisis economists told us to look forward to a v. shaped recovery on the bounce back as quick as a fell well it's turned out to be a little trickier than that analysts are now calling it a case shaped recovery the divergence of 2 legs of that k. one moving up one down. the crisis has become a day the struggle for hosting a pumice from bolivia she relies on handouts to feed her family. what is that money
12:35 am
had since up and then met my children and i have had to go back to living on the streets. just like millions of others around the world. covering 1000 that tended our lives and plunged the world into suffering and grief. poverty inequality and hunger are rising jobs are disappearing and depths are mounting. but the coronavirus isn't stopping the rich from getting richer record stock exchange highs this week highlight the widening wealth gap tesla shares rose 700 percent this year big tech got even bigger while countless small businesses went bust. and have not economy so who are among those that are of the habs those are people who are benefiting from the strong housing market record low mortgage interest rates a booming stock market which really disproportionately benefits the wealthy and those who are the have nots or those that have already been sidelined or lost

income those who would be working in leisure and hospitality ours in restaurants retail the list goes on economists say a great reset is needed that will require a total rethink of how we do business the united nations secretary general has urged the world to make next year a year of healing healing from the impact of a deadly vitals healing broken economies and societies healing the visions and starting to heal the planet that must be our new year's resolution for 2021 well over to our longtime wall street correspond against the he's a new york for us yes can you explain this rapidly widening wealth gap because i thought governments al governments were doing something about it. well i mean this problem has so many layers but let's look at a few points here i mean 1st of all the widening of their wealth gap already started in the mid eighty's and it has not changed the tests increased and no
12:37 am
matter if the president was clinton bush or obama and the frustration with washington grew and that's probably also one of many reasons why donald trump has so kind of an anti-establishment guy got voted for president 4 years ago and one problem that we for instance also have that unions hardly exist anymore so there's no pressure on big companies for instance to increase wages and then as you did mention the stock market to play the stock market when thier need money is so it's clearly the wealthy profiting and what we've seen in the past couple of months so many parts of the economy are still in meanwhile wall street is reaching one time high after another so making the rich even richer so yes is there any sign that once this crisis passes things could change. well i mean there's always hope but specially in the past couple of not just months but also 8 years
12:38 am
but let's just look at the pandemic washington through billions or trillions of dollars at the problem so the debts that we're seeing here in the united states be it on a government led of level let it be on a on a personal on a household level is just huge and to make systemic changes you do need money and so i just wonder where this money is supposed to come from and then also i mean the administration that just got elected the new administration coming in generally is not necessarily the most a progressive one so let's wait and see how bold those actions will be for me by the way that will be the last report of 2020 and i would just would say see you on the other side they put this sign up here at the movie theater early in the spring and i couldn't imagine how long it would take to actually get to the other sites or happy new year oh my goodness i thought that was just a new year's eve that tragic story in itself yet it's called for
