a peaceful transition of power the organization tweeting that the chaos and unfolding in the nation's capital is the result of unlawful efforts to overturn the legitimate results of a democratic election you see behind me the country deserves better. now they were alone in expressing their dismay the national association of manufacturers putting out a press release calling on quote the armed thugs to cease violence at the capitol and they continue and i quote that vice president pence was evacuating the capitol should seriously consider working with the cabinet to invoke the 25th amendment to preserve democracy now the 25th amendment allows members of the president's cabinet to remove the president from power so some very strong words there for more on this let's go to our financial correspondent in new york yes it's good to see you. there in washington how is the business world including in new york reacting to this.

yeah clearly i mean there have been dozens of calls from big corporations from apple google some of the big banks like j.p. morgan or goldman sachs and the like but also from the business of home from trade groups and from unions to facebook to exit he actually decided that they will not allowed donald trump to post anything on facebook for the reminder of his terms of what is a little less than 2 weeks so what we're hearing quite a bit is that it's important to protect democracy you already mentioned that it's also important to make sure that there is this moves transition of power and then some of the business leaders also are calling for americans to come together having that said it's also interesting to see on the other side i mean big business has not always been on sync with the style of the current administration but on the other side they clearly took a profit from some of the policies like less regulation or also

a lord texas but now as they fear that democracy is on the line and so finally they obviously decided to speak out. by facebook there now what's been easy to miss in the tumble of the last 24 hours is the democrats actually received confirmation that they do have the senate majority that's big news for the biden administration coming in because it changes his economic policies what he can achieve what does that mean for the business world. definitely and that's also fascinating and really quite a turn off events how the market specially is reacting to that my 1st so often before yesterday's so that if democrats would take control of full control of congress then it would be better for business it would be bad for the stock market potentially higher at texas more regulation and what we're seeing today is that even technology as sheriff's informal to not start composite for the ferry 1st time

serve process $13000.00 points the dollar just leverage showed up today by more than $300.00 points playing around there was a new record high so now the ratio is that so with joe biden and congress in this big it might mean that it's going to be easier to get more money out to americans that could mean more consumption that might mean less credit fallouts now all of a sudden the argument goes what happened what was the senate election in georgia is good for the markets no matter what wall street seems to play it either way just to find another reason to drive the stock market higher it's really fascinating to see how one day the market argues this way the other the other way no matter what the animal spirits are out and there seems to be stuffing for this bull market. with latest from new york thank you.

and we take a look now at europe where german biotech firm cure vaca is in the advanced stages of producing a vaccine against coburn 19 it's now league up with fellow german pharma company buyer to help develop and distribute it on the corporate giant will also assist in getting the him or in a base vaccine approved. specs 1st results from its phase 3 clinical study by the end of march it hopes to supply hundreds of millions of jobs once it's ready there are financial correspondent charles e. delaney says the move looks to be to buyers advantage. this partnership will give care of ak a very experienced partner and the pharmaceutical space is a very young and small german biotech firm they only have about 500 employees and byers one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world they have a lot of experience developing drugs getting them approved by regulators and producing and distributing them as well so cure of developing the technology and

hopefully a buyer will help them really up the supply once this is approved by regulators we've seen these partnerships really popping up all across the pharmacy including the partnership between biotech and pfizer here and germany and the u.s. which is produce that the 1st approved back seen here in europe but it also. a big supply crunch for vaccines in europe so the u.s. really counting on this vaccine to be available in the next coming months so this will hopefully help us beat the production and distribution of care. or financial correspondent chelsea delaney there in frankfurt over after we're gone as president . was sworn in for a 2nd term on thursday his biggest challenge is the same one facing pretty much the entire continent economic recovery from the pandemic one thing we're going to size side rather is the size and more developed status of its economy is starting to weigh on it. god it was hit hard last year by the coded $1000.00

pandemic it had a great future ahead with 6.8 percent economic growth projected before the virus struck now it's expected to be less than half of that. president nona otto ran for reelection on reviving the economy he's promised to implement a 14000000000 euro program to this business. but the government is already under pressure to rein in government spending got his national debt left last year with projections putting it well over 70 percent of g.d.p. for 2020 and 2021 prompting a warning from the i.m.f. gun bans are also calling for more jobs while the official unemployment rate in 21000 was just 4 and a half percent it's expected to climb higher in 2020 nearly 90 percent of gun man's work in the informal sector with jobs like domestic workers traders and street

vendors their jobs are more precarious especially while measures to slow down the virus are also slowing down the economy. and correspondent joins me now live from across. if i'm a canadian what do i want to hear from president. for many things it's weensy the man's that in-laws the odd jobs the widow able to provide for the families so what we're really expecting from the president is that he's going to make sure that the economy bounces back and able to have the odd jobs bach and become be able to have money to take care of their families and be able to live a comfortable life that is the key thing he expects this year as he takes over for a 2nd tenure. as of what sectors of the economy have been hardest hit by this pandemic. so the hospitality

industry or sector has been hardly heat we've also seen the tourism sector hardly heat for the scene the manufacturing sector also suffering a deep heat and also their retail sector. guy not really a service economy and because many businesses are not able to remain. it means that people are unable to have jobs to do and these who are sick as i've spoken about how suffered a very deep. need to recover quickly to get people back on their feet an issue that we talked about normal going to feel that in their lives. your debt is an issue and they've got a country that continues to borrow. it is really a warrior for the coming years and on a list of actually response a is that if we don't shake how we borrowed in august it is going to impact on the economy and that is something that a government has to take a look at you have to find alternative ways and that's why the africa continent off

deal may help in no way to open up the economy and also our africa. correspondent there for us across thank you very much. thank you stephen. over cuba where consumers have had a rough start to the new year the government doing away with the country's dual currency system but cubans are struggling to work out whether it will leave them off better or worse. their long queues at the banks in havana as cubans scramble to stock up on national pesos since currency reform in january 1 it's the only way to pay in the shops market oriented reforms have led to tensions. i think stores should continue to take the convertible pesos so as to make it easier for people to change their money and so people don't have to stand in lines at banks in the end that's a lot of people and with the situation with the virus i think it's unnecessary.

for more than 3 decades to currencies have circulated in cuba state run economy the peso on the convertible peso pegged to the dollar now they're stuck with the strongly devalued pay so many subsidies have been abolished and as expected prices are already rising because of a scarcity of dollars widely used on the cash strapped island. no pressure oh my god it was about. prices increased even for some items that were not subsidized they increased in the same way and let's not even talk about the basics we're talking about other items that should not have been increased. with. the economy was already in trouble before the pandemic there were long food lines since the pandemic tourism which generates precious foreign currency has plunged energy prices have soared and the trumpet ministration sanctions are taking a toll monetary reform is the government's most radical measure to transform the

communist country and crucially cubans are hoping for a reset in relations under the new u.s. government under joe biden. and a reminder of our top story today business leaders have condemned the storming of the u.s. capitol which interrupted congress's attempt just. certify joe biden as president elect by the chaos u.s. markets open stable. and that's it for me in the business in her blood it's watching. a very i'm david and this is climate change. happiness increase book. this is the book for you. to get smarter for free we wrote on you to.
