until now leila the european union has been somewhat limited in its sanctions toolbox when it comes to human rights abuses there are sanctions available for all kinds of things but when it comes to cases like the case of election of only like the case of undue abuse against demonstrators the e.u. hasn't had a lot to a lot of tools to work with now it has this global human rights mechanism colloquially referred to as the european magnitsky act and that will allow it to to punish individuals seem to be responsible for human rights abuses and that's why this is a really important move in experts i spoke with leading up to this decision said it's very symbolic that the 1st time this mechanism is used is against russia sergei magnitsky was a victim of russian abuses and this mechanism colloquially carries his name does indeed but what impact will it have what are they hoping to achieve specifically
6:04 pm
when they're targeting these 4 individuals that you reported on at the start of this conversation. well these high ranking officials are not by any means in president putin's inner circle and that's what really is believed to be what would have the most impact on the kremlin and that is something the alexina vollies chief of staff leonid. volkoff was here in brussels advocating for he spoke with foreign ministers leading up to this meeting and he and his supporters had a list of 35 names so they're certain to be disappointed about 4 names but he said this is still a step in the right direction let's listen to what mr volkoff had to say ahead of the meeting here that from the sure that this not going to be the last step so even if it's a little even if the rules will be like a little bit disappointing for us it's well the 1st time personal some sanctions are applied as regards to human rights violations it opens
6:05 pm
a very poor 1st. own this was your sense a very clear message to. people who walk part of this regime and maybe this will contribute at least a small crack to a small split prisms the regime and people start to feel that being close to putin is not as safe and pretty anymore as it used to be right terry of course not so long ago we heard from the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov he said if the e.u. makes good on his threat to impose sanctions which it which it is doing right now we will break off ties with the block. yeah that's a that's a threat that sergey lavrov made a few days ago and he has walked that back a little bit it's highly unlikely that russia would break all ties with the european union it can't afford to do so financially to be honest it may make some more steps in that direction politically i mean remember when joseph bruno was
6:06 pm
there in moscow they kicked out 3 diplomats simply for being president prone of all the demonstrations so there may be more moves like that in an effort to show the european union moscow's displeasure with these moves but it's highly unlikely that we'll see a full cut off of top in ties that said you never know with the kremlin you never know with president putin and i'm certain that there will be some some strong arm tactics to try to convince the e.u. not to make more moves in this direction however again the supporters have 35 names on this list and only 4 are likely to be on this so you know you have to balance who really won here involve the supporters will be happy that any names are being sanctioned for human rights abuses but the kremlin can also say you know it wasn't as bad as it could have been terry in the 10 seconds i've got left with you how much of this is damage control by the you have to that catastrophic a visit to brussels to russia or rather to be to be fairly plenty of countries have
6:07 pm
lists of people they wanted to have sanctions on before the trip to moscow there were government saying don't go at all and some of these sanctions were being drawn up before that trip however the way he was treated and the comments by the kremlin certainly coalesced member states around moving forward with this step today due to abuse process correspondent teri schultz reporting thank you. the u.n. secretary general on to new protests is calling on me and mars military to immediately halts what he called its brutal force and repression and also demand that the release of hundreds of prisoners to taint says the february 1st coup for thousands of pro-democracy protesters against flooded the streets of major cities today as a general strike shut down businesses across the nation the marches continue despite threats of lethal force from the military rulers. rallies across the country despite threats of violence ahead of monday's general
6:08 pm
strike me on mars military rulers raise the stakes warning demonstrators they were risking their lives if they continued their quote riot and anarchy undeterred tens of thousands again flock to the streets in the biggest act of defiance yet seen in this standoff. was. scenes like this have been nonstop since a coup ousted democratically elected leader aung sun suu kyi 3 weeks ago the killing of 3 people by police has only served to make many protesters move defiant many have quit their jobs on hold to keep up the fight and they say it's worth the cost. today is a day for countrywide protest we don't want to stay under the control of a military dictatorship so we came here to join the protest regardless of last salaries nothing will happen to me if my salary is cut but if we stay under the
6:09 pm
control of a military dictatorship it will become this slaves. it's a sentiment felt in all corners of the country in the capital naypyidaw all the same defiance. i'm joining the nationwide. protest as a citizen of the country we must join the protest in this time without fail. so i post down my factory and join the demonstration. of baseball power you know i know i'm joining the protests to fight against the gentile we don't want to be governed by the regime it's not worth working for the sake of a group of people will fight against them until we win i'll join the protest every day i think. of how. a generation unwilling to give up their freedom and return to a military dictatorship like the one they were born and. as brilliant as they now

6:16 pm
how does a virus spread. through the town. if you would like any information on the. science topic you should check out our podcast. podcast you can also find us at. science. and estimated 152000000 children are being put to work around the world. manual labor in mines in fields on family farms. in africa one in 5 kids are involved in child labor. girls are especially
6:17 pm
vulnerable. the number of children of work is set to dramatically because of the pandemic. as it wreaks havoc on family incomes many parents could put their kids to work. more than a 1000000000 children in 130 countries have been affected by school closures and child labor has risen in line as school gates bank shot. the organization for economic cooperation and development has told the children of paying the largest price in this pandemic director for education and skills. praises the countries that have managed to keep schools open we need to be aware of the high social costs that school closures have for us for children and that's why you know countries you know like france and italy and to some extent it was pain that you know despite very difficult pandemic contexts have given education absolute priority india
6:18 pm
allowed schools to reopen in october but some children will only head back now due to a staggered resumption of classes many children in india's villages may not return whole we travel to talk. to us and them on started apprenticing 6 weeks ago at this one official in a village in it that for this. the shy 12 year old has been half heartedly listening to instructions. he's clearly not enjoying it. i want to go back to school. meet my friends i don't want to work here. but he doesn't really have an option nor does his younger brother who joined him here a few days ago but both are following their father's instructions up to him on is out of work himself. with schools closed for nearly a year now and due to the court on awareness he has given up hope that education
6:19 pm
will secure them books him on says he's only looking out for their future is will the way schools are being closed they were starting but they aren't doing anything now we've asked them to work out of desperation so that they can learn something of hopefully a livelihood if schools reopened and they leave work to lose out if they stay and help to survive there's no advantage in going to school now. the state government has just announced the junior classes are set to resume but a sudden i just need to stay at work to support their family. high school classes resume back in october but children younger than 15 years have hardly studied for the better part of the year. at best the vital way that i'm playing with their friends at worst they are forced into labor or a bad adult. to be ensured that he has weathered endlessly about this especially
6:20 pm
about the $400.00 children who attended his school his class is much smaller now he just helps his own daughters with their studies private school slightly odd that he is educated close to hostel for india's children often feel very little money. now his own school survival is at stake. i saw that he waved his hundreds of being approximately bundle monthly fee jawed in the lockdown he still feels that many gone before to continue sending their children out of that about your will mob of most of the children our company their parents to work. i fear 70 percent of them will drop out. we try to appeal to the parents to keep educating their kids but they just say if we don't have money how are we supposed to send our children to school. or we're going on with the lack of resources also the without online education toddy says. if parents already kaunda for the nominal fee how
6:21 pm
can that be for multiple smart schools for all the children at home education has not been a priority in his village he says and the tag been an uphill battle even before the lockdown hit. chaudhry is excited to see the children again soon but he's also realistic he knows that even if just a quarter of them show up he can count it as a victory. if at each this is an expert on child labor in south asia and joins us from the university of birmingham in the u.k. what's causing this huge jump in child labor during the pandemic. well thank you for having me i think it's all the effects of the pandemic are also drivers of child labor so the pandemic is causing an economic shock across the world but it's particularly felt in developing countries it's causing a rise in poverty is closing schools which traditionally protect children from
6:22 pm
child labor but it's causing even less enforcement and child labor laws and regulation and it's meant that c.s.a. civil society organisations can't protect children monitor them so for all those reasons a pandemic is needing to ryse in child labor what about the checks and balances you mentioned schools there are regulations but have other checks and balances simply gone out the window in this pandemic well checks and balances in developing countries tend to be weak anyway because they're limited government capacity so as i said employers now have more of a free rein to use children in to explode because governments my attention is focused on dealing with a pandemic in its own society organizations are not able to carry out their protective role that they normally would but schools i think schools are the real significant sort of protect our children and that has been removed when you take kids out to schools in developing countries you greatly increase every school
6:23 pm
exposure of being forced into into work just briefly of course sending these kids into work rather than to school limits their prospects what does it do what's the impact on the world on the global economy. well it's it's kind of like i think bond is if you sort of throw a stone in water and you see ripple effects so in this child labor has the same kind of ripple effect which which is which you know spreads outward so the child themselves they're affected because they can't study a bit exposed to physical labor often physical abuse their ability to use even sexual abuse but in the long term that child then grows up to be in low paid to be unemployed to be doing hazardous work and critically child labor has grown into adults who then send their own children out to work and so you get this intergenerational cycle of poverty child labor party child labor and that impacts collectively as a society as
6:24 pm
a country that greatly hampers economic growth and development and that then poverty under-development those are both major contributing factors to all kinds of other problems like violence conflict radicalization extremism. illegal traffic illegal migration and human trafficking and those are consequences for everyone but i think you know that the point i really want to stress is that you know we need to address people in developed world need to address this problem not just because down the road it will come back to hit us here because we have a moral responsibility to do so these are children children have the right to you know a future to be secure and safe and have opportunities and we all need to support them in doing that and as you pointed out there the longer term effects are even longer than one would expect if it was thank you very much for joining us today thank you for having me now is that part of the show with eric williams fields your

questions on the coronavirus. so what do we currently know about when the pandemic actually started. more than we did at this time last year but not a whole lot more a recent w.h.o. mission that spent weeks in china investigating the origins of the pandemic came to a few unsurprising conclusions the 1st was that its members agreed that sars kovi 2 had originated in back it's which other experts have more or less been saying the whole time the 2nd was that it believed the virus had jumped to humans in the unidentified 2nd species which is more information that's pretty old hat although they did say that they suspected it might be a small mammal which was a specification that was sort of new i guess the mission also said it considered it
6:26 pm
extremely unlikely that sars could be to go had somehow escaped from. that specializes in bat viruses although that assessment remains pretty controversial really for me the most interesting takeaway was this weekend. agreed that we have. a fungus evidence of food why this you condition of the virus in in december it was not just only a cluster heartbreaking in the one market but the virus was also see created. outside of the markets that's new up until now the working hypothesis was that coded 19 1st struck at a wet market in around the beginning of december of 2019 but if it was already in wider circulation in the city at that point that means
6:27 pm
a couple of things 1st that the. what mark it wasn't ground 0 and then of course that we have to push back the timeline of the original zoonotic jump a while although a few studies looking at how the virus has evolved say the earliest pay their models predict for a possible job is october of 2019 so we learned something from the w.h.o. experts maybe not all that earth shaking but interesting and and to be fair no one expected the mission to figure out everything about the pandemics origins in a couple of weeks the wheels of this kind of scientific detective work turn very slowly. and as we heard earlier the pandemic has put the welfare of children around the world in peril. the smiles behind the mask speak
