11:12 am
medical supplies sent down to them by rescue workers while they were trapped. we're joined now by journalist in beijing has been following this story for us fabienne 9 miners are now confirmed dead state media says that plays bring us up to date with how that rescue operation went. the 9 miners who were thought to be dead today but we already know from before that one other mind is also deaths on total 10 minus have died and their only chance is that one could be still alive so out of the 221 the still trapped alive or not alive since we don't know because his whereabouts are still unknown but the 11 rescued miners from yesterday they are in relatively stable conditions except for one who is in a very weak condition yeah and that is some very good news that there's 11 miners were rescued it with that one miner that's been unaccounted for what hope the rescuers have that he will be found alive. well there is no communication with him
11:13 am
there was also no additional food deliveries we know that the 10 minus been rescued among the 11 they were sent food and that they could survive without any problem but until yesterday there was also one miner who was secure rescued by chance and he also by for 14 days without food so it's possible that even 15 days now after the miners were trapped the last remaining could be safe but i mean time is running out and we don't really know exactly where he's the cape that so i would say it's a chance of survival razzo lol at this point. mine safety is a problem in china according to official numbers the country recorded almost 600 mine related deaths in 2020 why is safety so bad. i mean it's really a combination of reasons but i would say the main reason is that safety standards which are actually. in law they are really not enforced especially in the

provincial areas and that companies put profits over human safety and also what happened here in this case there was an explosion and the company didn't reported for over 13 hours to the authorities because they were fearing a negative consequences for their own korea they tried to solve it by their own but in the end those is really precious time for the for the rescue mission which in the end was lost so it's really a very systematic problem front having pressure beijing thanks very much for the update. egypt is marking 10 years since mass protests erupted across the country and led to the ousting of longtime president hosni mubarak the uprising was part of the so-called arab spring revolution and was seen as the dawn of a new era for egypt out a decade later many of those who took to the streets say little has changed.
11:15 am
they call it the day of broth. a day that saw thousands descend on cairo's tahrir square to demand president hosni mubarak who ruled egypt for almost 30 years believe police and security forces cracking down hard in just a few bloody days hundreds dead and thousands more injured. but 2 and a half weeks after the start of the january 20th levon protests the jubilation. mubarak is out. 6 months later the muslim brotherhood takes power with islamists mohamed morsi elected president. a year later he too has gone in a military coup. in the weeks that followed hundreds of his supporters are
11:16 am
arrested. and many killed it grow into herbert seeable but the coup was led by army chief general abdel fattah el-sisi by 2014 he is president el-sisi has done all he can to silence any opposition. and of the changes to the constitution he could stay in power until at least 2030. for many the hopes of january the 25th 2011 are buried somewhere here in town here square. one ounce to a subject that is heavily stigmatized in many parts of the world including pakistan reports of rape this last year but until recently only a tiny fraction of right cases ever come to trial last month the country's president signed off on a little i'm that speeding up convictions and increasing sentencing while the new
11:17 am
measures help protect the identity of victims and also allow for a controversial punishment so-called chemical castration. as son all heart has been living and sleeping with his family for weeks on the grounds of the hospital in lahore pakistan his son's own has been here for months he was gang raped and then shot this sadly is not uncommon the perpetrators now face chemical castration by order of the courts. we would be satisfied with such a punishment we don't want such brutal men to be able to rape ever again what if words could change the situation there would already be a change in the society without real punishment such people will not change and that is why they must be punished. in pakistan following a presidential decree rape can now be punished with chemical castration. in this
11:18 am
process the convicted person is given drugs that take away potency and libido. these return when the drug is discontinued at the end of the sentence but many medical professionals are wary of the possible side effects. one of the most important. it's. also cause depressions. in muslim pakistan rape stigmatizes the victim as well as the perpetrator and his family suffer adarsh of it is also feeling this her son is in prison charged with rape he's threatened with chemical castration the widow firmly believes in his innocence he should be earning money for the family besides a few relatives no one talks to the mother anymore. chemical castration is
11:19 am
a brutal punishment my son is already a goner and now possibly this is inhumane punishment i wanted to marry him off soon but how can he have a family now i had so wished that he would have children but now none of that will come true. in pakistan a person is raped every 2 hours it's often a demonstration of power through sex last year there are more than 3 times as many cases as the year before the government is under pressure and wants to look like it's doing something. strongly believe that there is a need for such a long if we punish some perpetrators like this it will send a clear signal to everyone else. it will have a positive impact on the whole of society. as the. lawyer robbie a bunch of aa is a volunteer representing zein the boy who was raped and shot for years she has
11:20 am
found to ensure rapists were properly convicted. i don't think so and i don't think man who has strange an is a solution because there is also the death penalty for rapists in pakistan so deterrent laws are already in place but they're not applied. more effectively. in the last 5 years no one has been sentenced to death for rape in pakistan saeed impoverished family waits outside the hospital for the boy to recover from his injuries and for the perpetrators to finally be punished. and we spoke to several agencies the senior counsel in human rights watch in lahore pakistan and i asked him why the chemical castration actually works as a deterrent against sexual violence it does not serve as if it is the government's approach is flawed it to live as it is a lot of the level of principle at the level of human rights and it is flawed at
11:21 am
the level of efficiency or deterrence so the short answer is like any tool in the human body has been improving and that's been odds of it you have this by this moment does not serve the. criminal justice system which has the capacity and the willingness to apply. to all people to convict people found guilty of innocence or serious crimes and do that in the right suspecting that it is the deterrence so this is a populist move which while it's all human rights principles this knocks me of victims of sexual abuse in the box i only see if what you've got and what starting point should be. if you do have a force which is more sensitized to sexual crimes it's more sensitized like all of women all whites of all those devices that provide i think of better seemed at

registrations in your fell by 23.7 percent in 2020 compared to 2019 of the worst years since records began back in 1990 but as look specifically at germany now because the institute for economic research has just published its latest index of german business sentiment it shows a drop at the start of this year but speak to clement's fears the president of a phony thanks for joining us on t.w. business always great to have you on so how big is this drop in sentiment. it's a significant drop and it's particularly hard it's particularly strong in retail and even in wholesale and that's no surprise because a large parts of retail are closed have been closed since mid december but we now see the impact and we see the impact not just at retailers but also in wholesale wholesale we even see it in the service sector in transport and there just takes for instance companies tell us the situation has worsened significantly so there is
11:33 am
a clear impact are there specific policies that are getting in the way of businesses feeling optimistic it's not so much the policies it's a lot of uncertainty about the new virus variants found in great britain that will spread to europe or has already spread to europe it is certainly also uncertainty of our lockdown and lockdown policies indeed how long with the lock down last but that in turn will obviously depend on the on the trend in factions. and that makes life difficult for businesses what is it the business is worried about are they facing the prospect of bankruptcies. they certainly bankruptcy that will increase but businesses are worried about the uncertainty around their perspective for the common common month and but to clear
11:34 am
the businesses that have been shut down they are also worried about the fact that hope from the government. is there a but it doesn't always arrive so administering all of this is difficulty and many companies now have problems with liquidity so it takes time until the money is coming and that is a problem for some firms manufacturing the whole manufacturing sector is more resilient but even their companies have become more pessimistic they say the current situation is still a good capacity use it is increasing even but they've also become more pessimistic as regards the coming months and a lot of them are certainly. pessimistic because they say ok for some time we can live with retail clothes but if goods don't get sold at some point this will arrive in the pack tori's the german government was already predicting some growth
11:35 am
in the german economy 4.4 percent thereabouts for this year would you now expect them to be lowering that estimate briefly if you can. so we will have 0 growth in the past quarter we think at the moment we don't expect negative growth and there could be a stronger recovery and then in the 2nd quarter so i wouldn't say 4.4 for the whole year cannot be reached a lot will depend on the vaccine strategy if we achieve. an impact of the vaccination in the summer so that the lockdowns can and i think 4.4 is still possible but the outlook has certainly worsened so it's become a little less likely that we can achieve this recovery than 2 or 3 months ago clemens foose from the institute for economic recession thanks for joining us thank you. time now for a quick look at some of the other business stories making the news british reach 0 chain is to close all of its department stores with

china's credentials on fighting with climate change is concerned where he's pledged 0 emission by 2050 ratatouille 60 and then he's also going to talk about globalization openness like he did in 2017 was meeting but many are actually skeptical and they would like to take whatever he says with a pinch of salt because the last time we spoke about blow he defended trade wars he actually did one against australia a few years down the line and also he spoke about openness but event on unfairly propping up state owned enterprises and clearly there was no openness as far as investments are concerned so yes these are the few talking points that people are going to look out for to be very different this time around. thanks for joining us . now 2 years ago today a downburst in southeastern brazil killing hundreds in an avalanche of mud down was
