business on want to get jones of berlin good to have you with us. germany's top public health official has policymakers to take tough action urgently to try and contain a 3rd wave of the corona virus almost 30000 new infections were reported in the last 24 hours now it would help of course if more people could get vaccinated faster many companies say they could help speed up the process after all they have 12000 doctors and access to some 45000000 employees now among them 27 listed companies some of them have already started pilot projects such as the chemical john b a s f the health company for seniors and of course comic of folks dime though is currently getting a 5 facts a nation centers ready in its largest factory hundreds of workers could receive a shot to their every day other tax companies such as. adidas allianz insurance

b.m.w. buyer daughter bank and move tons are also want to get shots into arms so let's talk a little bit about this with our financial correspondent chelsea delaney who's standing by in frankfurt because chelsea i remember this week german companies complained bitterly about the fact that the government forces them to offer tests to their employee used as a simply too expensive now they want to vaccinate how does that fit together. well i think this discussion is reflective of the way coronavirus has hit different companies here in europe for the vaccine proposals we're talking about the 30 biggest companies here in germany so they have a lot of resources they have company doctors they have facilities where they could . give these shots and a lot of these companies like volkswagen have actually been doing pretty well throughout the time at the docks here has been our record highs recently so for them this wouldn't be too difficult to do and it could really help them. remove

some of these concerns about the virus but what we've heard pushback from it was a lot of the smaller companies here and in germany the small and mid-sized companies say that it's just too expensive and many of these have been hit much much harder by the pen demick. i mean why all the companies wanting to do it is it and move and what's at stake economically here. well there's obviously a lot of state for every company every economist every business says that we won't be able to. reopen the economy fully intil and still more of the population is vaccinated and of course here in germany the vaccination campaign has had a lot of issues and this is weighing on the economy today we heard from the top research institutes here in germany they've actually cut their forecast for the job in german economy by a full percentage point this year so there is a lot at stake for these companies in terms of vaccination much as a delay in from food thank you so much. meanwhile thousands of

restaurant owners calling for a new approach to germany's pandemic policies they are banking on a new encrypted app called new cut which they hope will soon end to the need for lock downs. for months most of them not one has only been allowed to sell food and drink to go on the alcohol free beverages are allowed to be consumed you're immediately. and he's longing to at least open up his terrace to customers again. greatest which of course is to open up completely again with distancing with all the hygiene measures he's hoping a simplified track and trace system will make that possible until now his guests had to fill out a form in which they often gave false names and telephone numbers. that won't be possible with the new look at which is being deployed in berlin to keep track of covert 19 infections a user registers with the app which gives them an encrypted q.r.

code user scan their q.r. code when they enter a business which the business owner can't decode. and it's absolutely brilliant that's exactly what we have to have. in the clear my guess they're in the clear we're all taken care of if something comes up the health office knows about it immediately. or it can be followed up more easily it's great that. in the event a restaurant guest or shop customer test positive the person concerned transmits their checking data to the responsible public health office. staff can decipher the data and call up the encoded data from affected locations. the app was devised by bell in startups news in yo and culture for life. we could see the some catching up to do because so far it involved comparing whole excel tables and phoning around manually so lots and lots of time was being lost and those affected could have been

informed much earlier that the process we've digitalized. cultural institutions were among the 1st to demand the up including some renowned german bands but competing at developers think the hype surrounding luker is unfounded and say its data security is substandard. i think the central plank of the criticism which upsets many people the most is centralised data storage. and we want to avoid. without a solution the data storage is decentralized via the different up providers. data protection activists a decentralized data storage is less vulnerable to hack attacks and abuse and they also point to security loopholes it'll take some time before all doubts are dispelled and all public health departments are connected with luka but anyway with few exceptions lockdowns means there's not much prospect of it being any use for

some time so most of i will also have to bide his time until he can once again serve his mediterranean speciality is. even though the state of berlin has just signed a 1200000 euro contract with de luca makers. and now to some of the other global business stories making news. germany's highest court has ruled that a controversial rent control law introduced in berlin is unlawful judges said the measures which froze and capped rents were not the responsibility of the states the ruling effectively killed the capital cities efforts to combat soaring rents. out he will cut its production in china by 30 percent in april due to the blow the chip shortage that reduces output by more than $20000.00 vehicles since last year the chip crisis has played carmakers forcing some of them to temporarily shut down factories when some pubs and restaurants in england opened this past monday they sold twice as many drinks as before the coronavirus pandemic struck that's

according to the british beer and pop association while the majority of their news from a close to those that did welcome guests prospered from pent up thirst. to turkey where the pandemic weighs on an already ailing economy in addition the turkish lira plunged to almost record levels off the president as one fired his 3rd central bank chief in 2 years to install a like minded critic of high interest rates a rate decision is due today. restaurant manager touches at his wit's end the lockdown forced him to shut his business with its 15 employees for months and now into ramadan as well because of rising coronavirus infection numbers to make matters worse inflation is running at a rate of 16 percent per month and. we wanted to invest but we weren't able to we were too afraid we don't trust the economy because we don't know what will happen tomorrow because there is despair and insecurity. here

a lot of turks have lost faith in their economy many are unemployed and can barely afford anything as a lier as value plummets shopkeepers and bakers are forced to constantly raise their prices flour and other ingredients are becoming more expensive by the day the pandemic has also kept tourists away which for many was their main source of income . my pockets are empty of course as the crisis affects me because we have no money there's no economy there's no plan for improving the situation they say they have a plan but i don't see it. as the economic situation has affected me i lost my job during the pandemic like so many people here i've been unemployed for about 4 to 5 months now there's i earn about $300.00 a month that's about the minimum wage and we're seeing 30 to 40 percent inflation i've been working the minimum wage for years. this president rigid type of air to

want has long promised to boost the economy and get inflation back under control but with that ambition looking rather hollow in march he replaced his 3rd central. chief in just 2 years we are determined to bring the rising inflation back to single digits we will succeed. but that wasn't the 1st time heir to one proclaims that and the situation still hasn't improved will his new central bank chief really be the game changer everyone hopes for. that's exactly the question i would like to ask correspondent in istanbul yulia han so president at one seems to believe. late decision will fix the problems with the economy so will the new central bank chief cut rates today well that's what he is up to many say but probably not today money managers expect her keys a new central bank mr cobb gilo to hold the key interest rate steady this month in

order to maintain what's left of investor confidence he faces a tough balancing act he must fix the ailing economy and win back foreign investors while keeping president happy as you mentioned everyone has the unorthodox view that high interest rates cause inflation instead of slowing it down and if you recall what happened to the last central bank governor well respected market friendly man he had hiked the interest rates and was fired a day later by ed one after just 4 months on the job this has really left the credibility of the bank in tatters it had shocked foreign investors they pulled out a large amounts of money from tokyo stocks and local currency bonds but let me also at the current new central bank is a former lawmaker of edwin's ruling a.k.p. he seems to share add ones an orthodox views of the economy and that's why many expect him to go for a rate cut eventually but sometime later this year so you mentioned the also docs

view of decisions there would lower rates be good for the turkish economy. well foreign investors say it would be a disastrous move because it would make many problems of the turkish economy worse 1st and foremost inflation as you mentioned the inflation right claimed climbed to more than 16 percent in march many turks think the actual rate is much higher they feel it at every trip to the market because basic food items got more and more expensive rice vegetables sunflower oil eggs many people also tell me they don't know how to pay their next rent or their electricity bill more than 25 percent of young people here in the country have no job and what i really notice is that people are not only frustrated or desperate but they have lost hope they have completely lost trust in the economic and fiscal management of the country and that

certainly also weighs on the president popularity is something that we will explore another time you were there reporting for us from istanbul thank you so much. and that's your business update at this hour from either team in the lead thanks for watching. the fight against the corona virus pandemic. has the rate of infection been developing what does the latest research say. information and context the coronavirus update nineteen's. on t w. in the art of climate change. because this is.

what the years do they have their future. g.w. dot com for the mega cities the i think you. could culture. in one part of the world a race to vaccinate. in another the long white. richer countries have plenty of funding and plentiful vaccine doses poor countries have neither. could be years before some are fully vaccinated friesen setbacks with the most accessible vaccines astra zeneca and johnson and johnson on to helping global vaccination at 2 speeds what does it mean for lives and livelihoods that can

anything be done to prevent it. well india is now the world's 2nd worst affected country it's a past brazil but it only behind the united states the increase in inventions could affect the world's vaccine supply india as the. because producer many parts are running short of supplies as in occupations expand due to the surge in cases this comes as hundreds of thousands of hindu pilgrims gathered at the ganges for a ritual bath as part of the comella festival a low thirty's made efforts to offer coronavirus testing most participants have been wearing masks or distancing themselves festivals around lisa being blamed for the spread of the virus in india. denmark is completely drops using the astra zeneca vaccine and more countries delaying the introduction of the johnson and johnson single shot after the us so far has recommended a suspension the european union in south africa has said they won't be administering the job for now they've been reports of ram blood clots similar

concerns with the astra zeneca vaccine prompted countries including germany to restrict its use the delay comes as a blow for developing countries they've been counting on the 2 vaccines. and that's raising questions about when widespread vaccination coverage will be achieved by the end of the year in high income countries middle income nations will have to wait another year and poor places not before 2023 if at all a key factor holding back the vaccination drive is peyton's nick didn't is director of global justice part of an international movement to challenge the powerful nick how different would things be if these farm firms didn't have patients on their vaccines. well we would be able to ramp up production much more easily lead than we currently can i mean at the moment we have an artificially constrained supply

precisely because all the manufacturers in the world who want to produce this vaccine conte in less that he specifically licensed by the company to the patients and when you bear in mind that an awful lot of these products were made with public money. huge amounts of money coming from governments like the u.s. government european governments and international institutions is just really scandalous so we've handed over we privatized this knowledge through titan's to a handful of big corporations who are now deciding who in the world gets this vaccine and who does us and time me you know across africa where we're seeing the most awful wave of corona virus spreading even frontline health workers haven't been vaccinated meanwhile in rich countries like my own people who are far less at risk of this disease are getting vaccinated ahead of those who need it more i thought i was living in a great place germany but i'm still waiting for my shot we have a vaccine which is fantastic but i keep hearing there are production problems but

then as you say we're not even using all the production capacity out there because the peyton's prevent that is that right. that's exactly right so some of the biggest vaccine produces in the world are not producing coronavirus vaccines simply because when they tried to create their own back seen it didn't work and they don't have one and they can't and they have to. give up their production facilities their factories and their manufacturing capacity to produce the vaccines that we've got so it's absolutely great that we've got these vaccines like you say an awful lot of public capacity and public money has gone into creating these vaccines but it's you know we have factories across the world who could produce hundreds of millions more vaccines including in europe who were saying we want to produce this vaccine give us the technical know how and big pharma companies a saying no we're going to keep this to ourselves and unfortunately rich countries like our own standing behind them a lap and allowing them to do that exactly i'd like to point that out and give our viewers a couple of examples in addition as vaccine is being nearly entirely funded by u.s.

taxpayers but it's being sold at basically a fully commercial price on the other hand we have others like astra zeneca who are saying ok we're going to sell it for much less but they still have the pain rights over supply which means people like me still haven't been vaccinated i mean don't politicians get are they allowing these companies basically to run amok on the. they are they absolutely are. and you're absolutely right about astra zeneca i mean look these companies aren't all the same of course we think it's great that astra zeneca rosette they won't be profiting joining the un demick although i should point out that they can decide when the pandemic is over and at that point they will begin profiting i look with a company like us does any good there was some research done a just a couple of weeks ago which found that the amount of public money that had gone into research and development public charitable money of the oxford astra zeneca baxi was about 97 to 99 percent in other words the company has put virtually no

money into research and development they've then been given at least $2000000000.00 to ramp up their manufacturing to do trials and so on this company hasn't created this vaccine had a university created the vaccine and they then been helped to scale up manufacturing sure pay them for the work they've done but don't for goodness sake allow them to keep up for 20 years and decide who gets it and who doesn't get it and when you do that you've seen yourself i mean even here in the rich world the argument now between the british government and the european union over the contract signed with astra zeneca this is just nonsense it's a public health emergency we need international cooperation not a very very small group of people deciding who gets this in what order only politicians in south africa and india have proposed a temporary suspension of coronavirus peyton's the w t o like the idea there are signs the u.s. does too why isn't that gaining more traction. well this is really interesting and

it's exciting that we didn't expect this to happen quickly so you know it's going to take a while to put this pressure on but the pressure is building we've now got holly wood stars and celebrity you've got former world leaders calling for this to happen and i mean absolutely amazing that apparently the biting administration is considering this proposal from south africa and india to waive titan's that would be an absolute game change it if it happened to date almost all rich countries have sought i did with the pharmaceutical industry because you do not believe believing it helps that country's economy in some way if a pharmaceutical industry makes a lot of a lot of money in in the country it's based in we completely dispute that and we hope as a result of the problems we're seeing around the world that politicians are going to begin changing their minds on this after all it's really not acceptable that governments like my own can tell south africa or india where there are a huge problems getting vaccines into their own populations there's no problem don't worry about it the market will salt will solve everything in the long run

it's not acceptable and we hope that that case is now being allowed and save around the world most countries of the global south demanding a different way of doing this and by the way that different way of doing it isn't just going to help us get out of coronavirus which is really important and of course at the foremost of our minds now but it's going to get out to the situation we've got of the moment when most countries in the world are dependent on their medicine supplies coming from a small handful of countries that's no way to run a global research and development medicine there's no way to reduce medicines in a fair way internationally and we need to start. a different means of collaborating on medical research of factories being based all around the world so that people can have a lot more security on whether vaccines are coming from and that's going to be a big issue for coronavirus because this is unlikely to go away any time soon we've seen that now but for all manner of other diseases we need to have

a far more distributed. manufacturers' system around the world and i hope that this could be the moment this could be the wakeup call where we begin to develop that need it in director of global justice thanks for being on the show again that's a pleasure. the what about people who don't want the vaccine hysterical you. how does the refusal to be vaccinated correlate with an increase in mutated virus. this question is one that anyone refusing a vaccine needs to think about how on and hard to try to answer it but 1st go over some basics and that everyone should be able to agree on number one like all viruses sars kovi to regularly mutates producing new versions of itself that we call variance that's not up for debate number 2

more of those variants will of course appear when more people are infected. 3 the chance that random mutations could alter the coronavirus for the worse like making it for instance more contagious or a more deadly the chance rises along with the number of people the virus infects so so for logically to limit the chances of even more possibly dangerous mutations arising we have to limit viral spread to new hosts effectively limiting how often the virus replicates the vaccines that we have appear to do that very well by making recipients a lot less likely to catch the disease which is why the choice to be vaccinated is not just a personal one but a social one as well even if you say yes to vaccines you could potentially become

infected but the chances are much greater if you say no which you might consider to be your choice and you're right but it unfortunately doesn't stop there that she. always not only poses a potential danger to other unvaccinated people around you which is bad enough it also potentially offers the virus more opportunities to mutate into something possibly even worse for all of us like a variant that's resistant to current versions of our most powerful defense against it back seems. there are billions there and before we go sri lankans have been mocking the start of the sinhalese in tamil new year after coronavirus restrictions or east people visited hindu and buddhist temples in the evening before their biggest annual

holiday last year's best in the school band due to the crisis this year they've been allowed to go ahead small scale celebrations and social distancing case numbers have been falling since february. let's hope it stays that way thanks for watching stay safe we'll see you again soon. commitment.
