against the rulers dictatorship, the hope for more security, more freedom and more dignity have their hopes than fulfilled 10 years after the era spring, rebellion starts june 7th on d. w. the way tree last to missions and voluntary redundant australia slash carrier quanto says even more customer needed, but a rebound in domestic travel could be the long awaited beginning of better time. also in the shop, much of the world is for us. person divide says for that, even amazon jeff pays off claims, he's for it. so what does it take for large companies, especially tech giants to start paying more taxes. and every minute count startups

all rating to deliver fresh food and to crack domination of big market cobra bucks and the program australian carrier quantize is announced a fresh round of cost cuts, hoping it will help the firm whether the corona virus crisis. i quantify, expect loss of $2000000000.00 australian dollars or $1300000000.00 euros for the year, but remains optimistic. you to a relatively strong freight business and the reason reopening of domestic trouble. so you can fly with an a bubble that includes zealand domestically quantize expect capacity to reach 95 percent of prepare them a level by the end of next month. my here is quanto c o l. joyce giving some of the reasons for optimum and the combination of new zealand line posted continued strong performance aquanda sprayed has lowered the net cost of carrying the strand acids from international flying operations. they've now dropped from

$5000000.00 a week to $3000000.00 a week. that's important because the assets will be stranded for a bit longer. what does c o l di speaking there? now let's get more analysis from our financial correspondent conrad booth and we just heard there about the travel bubble between australia and new zealand. many parts of asia, airlines had hoped for travel bubbles to be established, but plans have often been pushed back. why is that? while chris coffee 19 has returned to a number of countries in asia, if we take, for example, singapore and taiwan, both countries since the beginning of this year had seen virtually no, or only one digit carpet cases. up until this month where both countries, singapore and taiwan, experienced a strong and aggressive surge and new covet cases. take thailand, for example,

a record number of call cases has been reported from there. so, as you know, travel bubbles, lead safe places to travel to at least these countries have to be counted out. china, yes, the covered situation there seems to be under control. but this allows only for, you know, travelling within china. now how does all of this translate interning figures? how bad is the situation for carriers like think of airlines like kathy? well, singapore airlines just posted a record last for the last fiscal year of 3 point. $2000000000.00 us dollars in the period between march last year to march this year. the number of passengers with singapore airlines decline by around about 98 percent cafe pacific posted a 909 percent decline in passengers for the month of april. so even within

relatively safe traveling within china. of course, international airline like cathay pacific suffers when worldwide board is a close. on our business frankfurt. thank to the earth in skies. not a british airline. easy jet says it's 1st have not losses. deepened as the pandemic pandemic ravaged demand, but it is also expressed optimism for the near future. for the 1st half of the year is a job loss comes out at $637000000.00 euros almost twice as much as in the previous year. and then we can adjust passenger numbers tumble, but almost 90 percent to just over 4000000. but the carrier hopes recover within the room with the reopening of travel across much of europe. now when it comes to the winners of the pandemic, the world's 5 largest tech firms are certainly among them. the pandemic has boosted

demand for digital services. and so google parent company, alphabet amazon, apple. facebook and microsoft have been raking in billions, but most countries are benefiting from these profits. the g 20. the countries that account for most of the world's wealth are losing $32000000000.00 a year, and unpaid taxes by the 5 largest tech firms. according to n g o action a. now that money could help governments foot the bill for death taken on to deal with the pandemic economic fall out. earlier i spoke to one of the people behind this report under the dollar back is the global tax program and policy manager of action 8. and i started by asking him why he thought it was now. so imperative for multinational to start paying more texts was our research shows today. there is a potential tax loss of up to $32000000000.00 us dollars from just g 20 countries. and i think especially now with the cova crisis and the results from that i think

given d economic downturn, it's more obvious than ever that we need fast and efficient reform of the texas. and to make sure that these companies actually do pay their fair share of taxes, but it's not only about how much tax that paid, so it's about where they pay. and so what be really urging for, as well, is that these companies are made to pay more tax and countries where they actually have to make active duty and where they have users and not just in the companies where they're headquartered. now the european general court just overruled a decision by the you commission that amazon needs to pay back tax luxembourg. the general court said no, they don't. so the legal status seems to be quite strong here. yeah, this is like the separate issue though that's about the state a large this was quite a, an individual case there. it has less to do with the kind of global tax rules that actually govern how much tax companies paying different countries. and i think that's what the problem is that we have a global tax system which was designed for very different kind of economy. and now

obviously with the growth in the digital economy reforms needed. and in fact, the city has tried and are trying to come up with proposals for how to better tax the digital economy. unfortunately, looks as if these outcomes, which are to, to be announced shortly are going to be quite underwhelming. there are some post movements on a potential minimum corporate tax rates for corporate income tax that needs to be above 25 percent according to us and not the lower figures that have been discussed previously. and that reform doesn't really solve the problems of how you text the did so economy, especially for developing countries in constant global southward tax revenues desperately needed right now to deal with a covered crisis under briefly. now that you as president biden seems to be throwing his weight on the idea of a global corporate tax rate. how realistic do you think is it that this will happen? it looks posted that there will be some form of global minimum corporate tax rate.

the question is where it's going to be sets at what's rate and also if they're going to be any kind of loopholes, that means the companies actually will end up not paying. that's much more tax anyway. so from our cyber definitely decoding for higher rates and has been discussed previously, we're coating for 25 percent or above to make sure that actually some countries don't universally end up lowering the tax rate just to meet this new no trust hold . but also to look at not only how much taxes pay, but where it's paid, it doesn't really change the fact that the tax would be paid mainly in the countries where companies are headquartered, which for many of the tech joins means either the u. s. or in europe under thought back global tax program and policy manager action aid. thank you for talking to us . thank you. thank you. here's an interesting statistic more than 80 percent of coven 19 vaccine don't. so, so far, given have been in wealthier countries of the global vaccine supply, poor nations have got less than one percent. now, how to deal with this balance is

a huge question. and the world's trade organization and the commission have been discussing possible answers. e, you chief ursula from july and welcome to the appeal director general and goes the local. enjoy you ala on wednesday as the debate rages between brussels and washington. although weather lifting coffee in 1900 bucks in patrons with booth supplies to poor countries. the idea which was pitched by india and south africa to the w t o. in august gained momentum this month after the united states backed it, but most european countries are against it. they are convinced the issue is one of production facilities. we need to continue to ramp up production as a commission call some countries which are already capable of producing vaccines and how watson did a large part of a population follows you example and immediately start to shares that production place, other countries in the money you have been under pressure to present an alternative

to waving i p rights on vaccines. and now it says it has a comprehensive plan which it will present to the world trade organization at the beginning of june. now let's take a look at some of the other business stories making headlines. japanese exports are almost 40 percent in april from the earlier, with demand boosted by surging global demand for cars. electronics is the country shop is wise and export figures in more than a decade. giving hope that the still locked down economy is edging towards recovery only is a variation of about $10000000000.00 and is upcoming was free listing, which company, which is backed by chinese investors, produces old base alternatives to dairy products such as milk yogurt, and ice cream taken off recently, boosted by the rise of v g and, and vegetarian diets. the ceo of bi dance parent company of tick tock says he will leave the roll because he lacks management skills and the 1st quote,

reading and daydreaming. chinese take home john gimme will transition to a new role focusing on long term strategy. the ruble with whom we set up the firm will take a demand for convenience is proving to be the driving force behind the next transformation in food retail. a new army of rapid growth re delivery firms are riding the waves of the pandemic to disrupt the retail sector, backed by millions of dollars of venture capital, their arrival could correct that combination of big supermarket chains. it's a race against time from this south london depot pickers, packages and delivery stuff have 15 minutes to get fresh food to the door of a nearby customer who's ordered via the we the app we z like it's london rivals get here. deja and gorillas stocks, goods from major suppliers and local producers in so called dock stores in town to

supply customers at similar prices to convenient stores. at least for new rapid services operate in central london alone. and the trend has taken root in cities across europe. the big challenge facing is around profitability. and i think in order for this model to be viable, they need to scale. and there are a lot of horses in this race at the moment. so i think when we look to the future, we're certainly going to see some consolidation. and these rapid delivery providers might even be a good acquisition target for some of the big markets. of course, the pandemic has helped enormously the arrival of the services market demand for convenience. and we'll drive for the next transformation in food retail. but they are likely to replace the weekly food shop because speed comes with a trade off. in order to be so quick, these rapid delivery companies have to offer a vastly reduced product election one or 2000 items compared to around 50000 on the

shelves of a traditional supermarket. but for shoppers with a need for speed, anything longer than 15 minutes may seem to slow. and that's our show. thanks for watching either self. i think the news the fight against the corona virus pandemic. how has the rate of infection been developing? what does the latest research information and contact the corona virus? because it 9 teens. next on dw. oh, can you hear me now? yes. yes, we can hear you and her last is german thompson. i will bring you on going to mac or as you've never had before, right?

just so what, what is it going to is medical really well me and walk. also we talk to people who follow along the way, admirers and critics alike. and how is the world's most powerful woman shaping her legacy? join us macros last me . i where all dreaming of taking all over again. but what really a wait says experts say when travel restrictions, these customs cues will be longer than ever published. this won't just be flipping through passports, they'll be test results and vaccination certificates to check. the cruise ships and hotels will take a tough line to the industry. you will have to adapt to new hiking measures like

touchless toilets, etiquette, all mean higher ticket prices. before the pandemic, venice was overrun with tourists. residents wanted restrictions, careful what you wish for now the streets and waterways are empty. the city depends on tourism. the w. mcsaunder reports on how ben is is looking to strike a balance as if re opens for business. a gondola ride is probably the most romantic experience you can have here in venice. even for a veteran candle, ye married your car a little nor you one the port, the number. so when we take someone with us or we try to make them live the dream. sonya she is one of the cities, roughly $600.00 gone. the leaves us lot would do 3 tours a day. but the pandemic has practically run him out of business and outdoor burday from october to no. i've only done one writing zito. this city just came out of

a locked out. but said mark square is still you really quiet. the world famous kathy louis on remains closed during the week before the pandemic streets were packed with tourists from all over the $20000000.00 visitors each year brought money, but also changed the face of the city. over the years, venice became almost entirely dependent on tourism and the pandemic with his travel restrictions and locked down further. laid bare the issue. these cr phase here, once popular tourist destinations are not closed due to a lack of customers. but now there seems to be some light at the end of the tunnel, though nobody really knows how exactly and when tourism will restart. some have hopes that a new start will bring changes. the v was auto is an activist with vanessia dot com . the group installed this counter in the window of a pharmacy to help publicize the declining number of residents. 50900. 65 is

the actual number of people citizens living today. here in venice, that's 30 people less than a week before. over tourism has been driving people out of the city, but the problem is more complicated than that. then it's itself suffered from the fact that a lack of tourism was also the lack of evidence, lack for many, many people and, and therefore this is what we are experiencing now. it's a very strange situation. we don't want to much tories him because it would suffocate the place, but at the same time we can't leave without tourism in a place where everyone lives off tourism one way or another. it is difficult to balance. the cities tourism counsellor says that the situation is not unique to venice, but rather venice is in need of a unique solution. right? yeah, no, no, i stopped having both on it and then it has not been sold out in

a derogatory send. it all to are cities have experienced the last few years in the absence of was to protect certain segments of the city. i, however, it would be essential, 13 special laws, presidio, such as venison, lawrence to be able to balance out the relationship between tourists and venetians quota you equity, but often report to the stiffness. jani has a 1st step. the city has begun to closely monitor visitor numbers starting next year towards will have to pay a fee to enter the city. but more it took a lot of mrs. what some people consider the bad old days. give out the man i'm old who i would also go back to what it was like 2 years ago. you list people maybe, but it wasn't a massacre like they were saying it was sustainable. i don't of us out of the debate over the future of tourism in venice is far from over. but for now,

most people here cannot wait for visitors to return and pay for stephen joins as from our science test. we'll get to the science at the moment. but 1st, when these board is going to reopen, not just the tourists, of course, but people who haven't seen their families in such a long time. i haven't seen my parents in australia for 2 and a half years. so officials that i are sorry, spacing well, board us to not, not have a 2021. unfortunately, this isn't going out in australia. it's expected not to be in till mid 2022. that's a big weight. yeah, i know it's a bit better in europe. so some countries like poland already open with exceptions like you need vaccinations. some countries like denmark is coming to open fully on the 25th of june variance hating this a little bit. so israel was planning to open up at the end of may not looking like that would be pushed back to the end of june. but still, you know, quite think so there's hope, but i mean, even if we can,

should we be going in thing i love once it's a bit of a moral question. it's really complicated. one isn't, and i haven't seen my family for a long time either. and i've been thinking about it a lot in terms of the pandemic. the things we have to think about the vaccination rates, we have to think about new variance. we have to think about the new infection rates in that country. and then also support a question and it depends on the restrictions of the country or coming from both of the country going to i find that quite interesting reading about what flights are doing. so flights have an i filter system that's used and operate in operating theatres and it cleans the $30.00 to $40.00 times an hour. some of them on letting you letting people go and economy seats in the middle of the aisle. and they did in fact the plane between, between flights. so it's, yeah, it's kind of complicated, but that's why we have government and public health sources to give us indication. at the end of the day it sounds like we're not going to return to normalcy when it

comes to travel it's, it's going to be a different experience. yeah, i think it's going to be so different. you know, experts, again, i expect the saying that much like 911 completely changed the travel industry in terms of security. this is what it's going to be like. now for health, you know, your health is going to be as important as a ticket or if possible. so we're going to see an explosion in technology and apps that shower health data. but there's going to be questions that come along with that. many public health experts, according from all to be mandatory in flight. this doesn't have to be a completely bad thing. you know, lots of lots have been on holiday and then got there and you've caught something of the flight and it's your holiday. and then so, you know, maybe there's hope, what about what the science says does that should have lied on it on any of this or, or how it's gonna work out. so there was a study in the lawn says journal published at the beginning of this year, and it looked at the impact of travel restrictions on the import rights of cove it

. and what it found was that blanket complete travel restrictions only really benefit the spread of virus and limited scenarios. so number one is if you've got a very, very low case load in that country, so you feel and with a good example. last, last to number 2 is if, if cases in your country growing and it's about the tip and experimental, they also also noted that new variance was something to consider if you want to keep new varying out. and that's when they can be useful that they really caught on government to, to make kind of tailored approaches to different countries and use most up to date data. and it's helpful to us as well to know the april of epidemiological tone. and it's not just the case of the country anywhere at any point during the pandemic. sometimes you can in the right in the right circumstances. so different people, stevens, thanks for coming. so the world slowly opening up again. i've managed to book a little trip to the greek islands, fingers crossed the country, looking up again tourism accounts for about

a 5th of grace's national output. travelers will need a negative test or proof of vaccination and they'll have to fill out a passenger located form. so no quarantine on arrival, which is a good thing. and tourists are also back in washington d. c. it had some of the toughest anti cove regulations. it's reopening highlights the nation's steady transition back to normality. the tourism sector does continue to struggle. a great question today on the travel industry from one of our huge abuses, saints and scholars. i'll let derek williams take care of that. oh, if you go to insist that the vaccine mandatory for travel. oh, no expert on ethics, but i'd like to explore this anyway. it's rapidly turning into a very big issue. decisions are already being made by governance and businesses and universities. you name it about whether or not to grant privileges

or impose restrictions on things like travel based on vaccination status. the 1st point to make, i think, is that all major health authorities are advising people who can be vaccinated to get vaccinated as a way to protect yourself, but also as a way to protect others. and, and that 2nd part is the real ethical crux. by choosing not to get banks and needed, you could potentially catch and pass on a deadly disease to other people so, so seriously simplified and boil down. this question becomes kind of a classic face off between an individual's right to choose what's best for them. and what expert authority say is best for all of us. currently complicating the picture is that both individual nations and the global community are still divided

into haves and have nots. is it fair to grant those lucky enough to have gotten a shot privileges like the ability to travel when, when they're denied to those who, who are still waiting for one? it's a tough question. it's certainly not fair, but for me, at least it seems justifiable. things should get more clear cut in a year or 2. i thank once everyone has had an opportunity to get back to me because they are, we have precedence. many places already have vaccine requirements for, for other diseases. if you want to travel from germany to a tropical country, for example, where certain pathogens are endemic, you have to get max and aided against them in advance period. and nobody complains one way or the other, regardless of the ethical aspects. i think most countries will at least impose

cove at 19 vaccine related restrictions on people who are crossing their borders. many have already done so me get my 2nd shot before that it will trip to grace. thanks for watching state agency again say ah, the news. the news. the news, the
