against corrupt truth and dictatorship. all these moments. have left deep box in my memory. they have hoped for more security more freedom more dignity. have their hopes fulfilled. in years after the arab spring now rebellion starts june 7th on g.w. . is there james one child policy coming home to roost fresh days are shows china's population is getting older and the birthrate is declining and that's could top huge implications for the country's economy also coming up a cyber attack on a critical u.s. pipeline is sending the ripple effects across the economy as repair work on the

colonial pipeline continues experts warn of potential gas shortages on the u.s. east coast. and time to spread your wings time says getting part of its fleet ready for takeoff after the pandemics are. welcome to do business i want to get johnson delenn good to have you with us china's population is have growing at the slowest pace in decades that's according to the latest census data out this morning there are currently 1400000000 people living in china that's just over 5 percent more than a decade ago but what has many in beijing worried the birth rate remains weak and the population is getting older the number of chinese citizens between 15 and 59 house dropped by 7 percent of the number of people over 60 continues to rise a demographic shift like this is likely to have significant economic. implications

for the world's 2nd biggest economy let's talk a little bit about those implications with did at least some hans who joins me now from taipei good to see you now china population the society is aging in that respect it's somewhat resembles not japan or germany for that matter but what are the economic and political implications for china well the challenge for its economy is the shrinking working age population china's labor force has been declining it's that by 2023 the working population with the client by more than $10000000.00 per year and it's likely to lead to a defiant china high national saving rate which is the main factor that drives economic growth and socially that each population will increase the burden on families elder care and the pressure on the supply of basic public services so ultimately the ageing population will become the biggest single us coal to china's

dream of a rich and powerful state but will demography perhaps even end china's rise to power and if that threat is real what can beijing do about it well yes earlier a study by the chinese academy of social sciences showed that the country's population will start to contract by 2027 and that is the year when many predict the chinese economy could overtake the united states in size so this is a matter for that goes like chinese economy is like an airplane still in the air or suddenly there's not enough labor force just like an airplane suddenly running out of feel which will be a disaster for the chinese economy and even the world economy so china will have to make overall plans and takes the measures to address that but it be interesting to see what kind of measures that can be done so in taipei thank you so much.

that's 3 days after a ransomware attack against a crucial oil pipeline in the united states its owner is struggling to bring its delivery system back with the help from the f.b.i. and the biden of ministration in the white house meanwhile gas shortages are becoming a real threat to the economy on the united states east coast drivers in florida lining up for gas worried they can't fill up their tanks for a while after last week's ransomware attack the colonial pipeline is almost 1000 kilometers long it carries 3000000 barrels of gasoline diesel and jet fuel between texas and the u.s. east coast after hackers crashed the company's computer systems the pipeline is still down. federal investigators are on the case and the white house is watching the situation closely the department of energy is working directly with colonial to get the plate ones back on line operated full capacity as quickly as safely as

possible. meanwhile storage tanks in texas are full to the brim trucks have been ordered to make emergency deliveries but they can only carry a fraction of what the pipeline delivers energy analysts are concerned. will run out of storage if the if the pipeline stays closer the price of oil here in texas could drop because of this oversupply right at the same time storage tanks in the northeast at the other end of the pipeline are being drawn down and if if that imbalance continues if we have a supply rise in texas in this drop in your new jersey in new york it cetera prices there are going to go way up we're going to show fuel shortages prices here are going to go down and we're going to have a supply glut. among the businesses affected american airlines the carrier has directed its honolulu bound flights to take off in north carolina with tanks half empty and fuel up in texas before continuing their flights to hawaii.

european markets are heading south this tuesday with germany's dax and britain's footsie $100.00 both down more than 2 percent now they follow a trend setter earlier in the day when asia dropped after a tech selloff on wall street japan's nikkei fell by 3 point one percent and hong kong lost 1.6 percent the hang seng tech index sank by up to 4 and a half percent. on lots of that was driven by inflation fears let's find out more about that chelsea delaney standing by for us in frankfurt chelsea why is the idea of inflation so scary for markets. well the idea of a longer period of high inflation would be really a huge psychological shift for markets inflation the has not been a threat to markets for over a decade now and this is been very confusing for

a lot of economists as a clue as economies recovered inflation has remained really stubbornly low and economists were worried that maybe there was something wrong with the economy that they weren't being able to see but now we do seem to be shifting to a period where prices are going to be higher in part because of pandemic affects economies reopening all of this demand for things like oil corn soy beans really a broad range of commodities are coming under pressure right now there's also been things like supply chain issues that have driven prices so the problem for investors now is that we might see central banks start to pare back their stimulus efforts and this has been what's really been under underpinning markets for the past several years very cheap money coming from the federal reserve from the european central bank and now investors are worried they're going to start sort of turning off the top for that and that would be quite negative especially for big

tech stocks that have benefited tremendously from those policies issues like supply chains of very very strong. to the pandemic which hopefully is going to come to an end any time soon but do you think those will we see now could be the beginning of a launch a correction. i think that's the question that everyone is asking themselves on trading floors around the world today we have seen these and flu fears flare up in february and march for example there was another and scare where we saw stocks especially tech stocks getting hit really hard but then stocks were able to recover quite quickly from that and find themselves back out record highs quite soon but economists are saying that this time might be different in part because of all of the stimulus that's being unleashed into. colonies particularly the trillions coming from the u.s. administration and they're warning that this could be the time where we do start to see inflation really take off chelsea to lanie in frankfurt thank you.

and now let's take a look at some of the other business stories making news. councils in china continue to improve with a 12.4 percent rise in april the country's the most important market for german car companies spock's latin dima and b.m.w. apra's upswing is welcome news after an over 5 percent drop at the same time last year. crisis hit japanese carmaker nissan posted an annual net loss of $4100000000.00 the firm has faced a series of trials recently including weak demand during the pandemic and the arrest of former boss carlos golden who is now an international fugitive after jumping bail and to flee in japan. frankfurt airport operator fraport lost just under 65000000 euros in the 1st quarter this compares to a 29000000 euro loss at the same time in early on many analysts expected it to be

significantly lower as the airline industry continues to grapple with the coronavirus pandemic proper c.e.o. chef and chill to said he saw 2 company had passed its low point. while staying with the travel industry its hopes for a post pandemic recovery have been hit but many false starts beset by new restrictions virus variant outbreaks and a sluggish european vaccine rollout german flag carrier only expects to fly at about 40 percent of its preplanned demick capacity in 2021 but it has raised its number of holiday destinations to over 100 banking on surging demand as vaccination campaigns reach a large number of people. nath. look here it's stamp there's moisture under there there's already water under there that means that everything has to be cleaned federally and dried this is all because we've shut the planes down for too long. an airline grounded says parked more than $100.00 aircraft

around the world and even here the machines cost money and have to be checked serviced and moved regularly now that more and more people are being vaccinated and can gradually travel again and says getting the 1st planes out of the coronavirus sleep like this in a bus which will soon take passengers again. but i guess i'll tell you we'll need between 3 and 4 days to get this back into the air and with a few more planes that's a lot of money that's a lot of effort and. nevertheless for the technicians every machine that they can bring back to life is a ray of hope germany's largest airline has had the most difficult year in its history of the mess of slump in passenger numbers caused by the corona pandemic the company has only been able to survive thanks to $9000000000.00 euros of government aid several 1000 jobs were cut and almost all of the $100000.00 or more remaining employees had their hours cut. this affected technicians like band peace as well as

his colleagues in passenger service as at the airport. on board flight attendants were hit hard as well as cockpit crew many say it could hardly be worse. every plane that comes back into service gives hope a little lift and a little thrust. these are the india this year will see that further progress in the development of vaccines and then the lifting of travel restrictions that there will be a bit of a silver lining hopefully in and that soon it might be possible to unpack many more planes in order to stay in the picture. in bits of dr who. nevertheless the look tons of fleet after the coronavirus pandemic will be significantly smaller than before and germany's largest airline is reorienting itself moving away from business travelers and more towards tourists as the new

target group. and another sign that at least here in germany infection numbers are forming various be a gardens can officially reopen this one here in a messy outside of munich is already attracting visitors with a warm weather only those be a gardens of regions with a 7 day incidence rate of under 100 are allowed to open here of course is big business in bavaria so. that's the business of day for me 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 19 special. on t w. drink kids

a lot of flushing wigs extravagant outfits and. glitter glitter political. fighting against prejudice. cable life. for recognition. of the stars the big stage. dream kids starts may 17th on w. . india's outbreak is spreading neighboring nepal is now recording $57.00 times more daily cases than last month. both infection and death rates are at record highs. the coronavirus is overwhelming nepal hospitals don't have enough beds staff have

to treat patients outside own realities. racing. last few years true as a nation. still to the brink of collapse. the red cross warns of a human catastrophe in nepal. welcome to the show one bed for zola millions of polys work in india but many are returning home due to the lock downs and lack of work a lot are also bringing in our want to present for families and friends with them covert 19 cases have exploded in border towns in the capital gap and 200 kilometers from the border crimmin tory i'm running out of space bodies are being burnt up pies in public places we checked in with b.j. acharya from the johns hopkins university school of medicine and i asked him who's to blame all the pollies returning home from india or india itself.

i think of having me i don't think it's a blame game to be honest because the code was circulating in the command a valley way beyond the good never actually was under control the same way it was in india i think it was easier to sort of blame it on the porous border and sort of differ on the responsibility of the government and the authority. that is what i think was frankly going on because political rallies were going on religious festivals are allowed marriages big marriages with hundreds of people were allowed for since numbers like started to playing last year and even up to like the last 3 weeks or so people are still gathering for engagement parties like weddings 2 big rallies were happening the political parties were like going out in full force so i think it's fair to like blame on some of the people just going back and forth from

in the end up are you talking about the situation in nepal where rallies were going on and political rallies and gatherings and events yes and in kind of alley where the numbers actually never went down there were all these like people having covered they were going to the hospitals just not the scale of. rate of patients down but you know went down and the political leaders including her prime minister never actually address the core issues as you know just a couple of weeks ago he was saying if you could. leave and gargle it covered go away the national t.v. wow so we can turn back time but what's the government doing now has it changed its tune is a taking a different tack is it clamping down. they have initiated a law. and try to like stem the flow of people but. like last year the made a rash decision saying our everyone. should lock down and that lead is people

from villages and far away places they had to like leave government to because they wouldn't have a place to burn like to make a living and they are left early 500000 people left in a day and i wonder how many of them were like us in dramatic carrier straight so they're like taking cover from all of all across the country now and within 2 weeks we have seen more than $100000.00 cases going up the death rate has climbed more than like 250 percent 2 3rd of the country is like high or higher risk of called it right now so it is actually like i think that is a bigger super spreader event in my opinion this situation sounds a lot is that how you describe it it is it is very dire i've been talking to my friends and colleagues physicians doctors like other activists and people are burned they're frustrated. just and it is to me the prime minister had it interview

with c.n.n. where he blame people for being negligent which is kind of giving up a responsibility as a leader saying like this is how we're going to come out of this and he basically institutions under control and it is telling not under control so what are people doing to cope and how are people coping how can they cope. so a lot of young volunteers have risen up to this moment gives me ideas i have a feeling of what happened after the earthquake in 2015 where india was also a crisis and we had to come up with like solutions right away there are different faces groups which are active connecting people there's a group of people who are running a website called liquid connect. where you can request housing food because you need a caretaker for your family member to be in the hospital but then they don't have a place for the caretaker to stay because of covert lockdown so people are cooking

meals at home they're like supplying meals to the local hospitals we're all across the world diaspora is like raising money trying to get oxygen concentrator in the foundation that i work with american upon medical foundation we just raise $100000.00 to staff a mass isolation center and a clinic clinical care center along with the government and the army so you know all of us are like trying to pitch in but we need to have like a central authority who's like directing all of these like fragmented some word services and i think that is what is lacking. in my opinion let's see if they can get their act together i hope so b.j. i tell you joining us from the johns hopkins university school of medicine thank you very much thank you for and thank you for having me and the news just in complicating the political situation in nepal or maybe even improving it the prime minister has lost a vote of confidence in polland fighting to show he has enough support to stay in

office well the coronavirus meantime matches on managing to invade every corner of a globe even the world's highest mountain everest as tourists gear up to make the world's most famous climb is and you danger at that awaits them. last year the pandemic devastated nepal's tourism industry so this year authorities have eased quarantine rules and issued more than $400.00 climbing permits a new record that maybe allowing the virus to spread uncontained on everest to try to stop this climbers are not allowed to socialize before they start their absent and customary religious ceremonies to pray for a safe expedition are now smaller more the private affair. but the local sherpas guides and cooks who depend on tourism and climbing for their livelihoods are worried. you can see. we're working here cities and we're making sure we follow all

protocols so that we can save ourselves from coded 19 and it is only you know. although you try not to mingle we used to have a lot of fun at base camp so we would sing and dance. but we don't have any of that now just we keep to ourselves and speak only within our teams to some of the simple system to some of the other but i don't know but i just. health professionals at everest base camp say they do not have the capacity to test for the disease dozens of people have been flown off base camp in recent weeks and at least 2 tested positive afterwards yet the government has yet to confirm a single official coated case on everest. or besides making it to the top of the world there is something else climbers could do in a poll has asked trick is to bring back their empty oxygen tanks which they usually abandon on the slopes let's see if they'll take on the extra load meantime

a team of mountaineering guides is setting up a separation line at the peak before climbers attempt to reach the summit from the chinese side or come in contact with anyone or anything from the nepalese side. you know the news germany is making the johnson and johnson one shot vaccine available to all adults it had only been recommended for people over 60 because of blood clots in younger recipients the government is now adopting the same approach as with the astra zeneca shot in a move to get more people inoculated germany has managed to get the 3rd wave under control in recent days and is trying to wrap up its vaccination rollout. time to answer more of your questions now over to our science correspondent there williams. what proposals are there to finance production and distribution of vaccines to countries not able to afford them. the central proposal

to do this is what's called the kovacs initiative it was set up around a year ago by a coalition of different agencies among them the world health organization to help ensure access even for the world's poorest countries to the tools that they need to fight covert 19 including vaccines that have been authorized by the w.h.o. kovacs is being funded by a number of wealthy countries. as well as private institutions like the bill and melinda gates foundation back in february gun was the 1st country to receive vaccines sponsored by the initiative a couple of months on the kovacs is still far from living up to its promise for a number of reasons the primary one is that in a market where vaccines remain in short supply money talks and the countries that pledged to help provide access to poorer nations have snapped up almost all

the vaccine being made straight off of production lines so far around half of the available doses have gone into arms in those wealthier countries for instance in germany over $30000000.00 doses have been distributed until now that's around 2 and a half percent of all vaccinations given so far worldwide in the democratic republic of congo on the other hand which has a larger population fewer than $5000.00 doses have been getting so kovacs is still falling far short of the initiatives stated goals even though practically every expert healthcare says that in a globalized world leaving less wealthy nations out now could end up costing us some or even all of the progress that we've made so far.

eric williams that i'm been fizzling thanks for watching stay safe and see you again soon.
