8:19 pm
a high of 32.6 percent in the 1st quarter of this year. despite the support efforts from countries, the crisis has clearly hid vulnerable groups such as young people, many women, the low skilled and frontline workers puddle without targeted measures. some of these short term effects risk becoming long term scars. young workers, for example, saw large reductions into hours of work nearly twice as much as for prime and order because of the peak of the crisis back in 2020. the most recent report shows an average 6.6 percent unemployment rate across the member countries. with 22000000 more people out of work than before. the pandemic. the organization is calling on countries to tailor employment and training services to reach out to those most at risk of long term unemployment. his a david and goliath battle where
8:20 pm
a whole host of ill, david's, in this case, african startups a trying to take on whatsapp. the world's most popular messaging app as over 2000000000 uses last year. it's also the market leader in africa where it's synonymous with the internet. in the area, 93 percent of internet uses around what's app? kenya has the world's highest proportion of what that month uses population. 97 percent of the country's internet uses in the bible. whatsapp accounts with only half of internet traffic. the app is unrivalled in most african countries where it's about much more than just sending, such as africans also use it for banking news, local council services, and have more to ponder. tim bailey is here with me to talk more about this to ponder. how did whatsapp become so entrenched in africa and so much more than just a messaging as well. it's pretty much because a lot of people are spending
8:21 pm
a lot of their internet lives on what's up, what's up is used for personal messaging. it's used for businesses, the people use it to pay their bills. people are also using it to consume use. this is not how you are or i use what you're in europe. we use it for personal messaging, but there is pretty much, you know, where people are living their lives. and of course that makes it very dominant for that reason. and then of course, add to that. there is no feature is in what's up which make it attractive for the market. the fact that you know, you can easily download messages. if you have sketchy internet access to g, internet access, you can easily still download messages. you can also use it on feature phones and feature phones, sort of like pre smartphone error and for people in africa for them. that's the most affordable phone fill. of course, it's attractive for people who are on those phones as well. so that makes it, of course dominant for all those reasons, technical and also in terms of where it is today in the market. so tell me,
8:22 pm
what are the alternatives, the alternatives. let's start with perhaps the one that has maybe better chances, which is developed by the mobile operator m t m. it's the largest mobile operator on the continent. and with that one to develop a messaging app called our yorba, and it's got 5500000 monthly users, they say, and they can easily send messages between themselves for free. so free data, they can also play music on some applications or some services. and of course, going to pay bills, so that helps the foot of a little bit like what's up. that's one of them. another one is called moria also from it's from south africa developed in south africa for on 5000000. monthly use is also attractive because it also offers free messaging. so that's good for people, you know, on a budget essentially. and there's also become a union one with only 200000 users. but that's also attractive because it has data protection in place. you don't have, you don't see the full numbers of the people in a group which you do on, you know,
8:23 pm
on what's up. and if you're not friends or a context with someone, you can see their full number. so it could be attractive for that purpose. this is the few out there. they have regional options. they also have these other solutions . but what sort of chance do they stand against? what's app? well, let's look at m p n a. yoga. we've had 5500000 monthly user is that compared to 90000000 users in nigeria, a low monthly user, that is, that's just you can compete. and of course, a lot of people are already on what up doing all these things on the platform. why would they be incentivized to leave? and that's, of course, a huge question. if you want to leave the app, it would mean you want to take your friends with you. you might want to take your bank with you or whoever you're paying your bills to. and it's super difficult to do so i think for a lot of people, it's highly unattractive for now to one to leave what's up. and it also sounds addictive. i mean, what, what are the concerns about what's apps?
8:24 pm
not someone else in africa in terms of concerns. data protection is not as much concerned. we've seen people outside, you know, especially in europe, point out data protection and as a problem. but, and some experts in africa as well. i must ad, but the people in africa, the ordinary user, is more concerned about being able to do all these things. and they're more concerned about the misinformation, and that's happening on the app and just the mis inflammation of the cam. those are the things that, you know, affect the user is obviously at times like this is exactly just wanted to be able to thank you very much for coming in today. interesting, cuba is said to prove a vaccine against covert 19 called a dollar. regulatory approval would help speed up fascinations across latin america . the case numbers remain high. but public health officials the calling for caution thing the chart should be scrutinized by global drug regulators before being used around the world. a moment of celebration and havana last month,
8:25 pm
the cuban scientist announced the results of their covert 19 vaccine trial. the shots, 92 percent reported efficacy rate puts it in the same week as those developed by pharma giants like the biotech pfizer alliance. a remarkable achievement for a tiny island of 11000000 people. havana has 5 cove in 1900 vaccine, can bits and development. it's been vaccinating its own citizens since may. and last month started shipping shots to venezuela, a point of national pride. and also there are no corano. we cubans help others, things that other countries in the world don't do. countries that have more possibilities than we do. and we help those in need without any problem. cuba says 30 countries have expressed interest in its vaccines. but public health officials and even politicians are urging caution cuba state biotech firm hasn't publish trial data yet or applied for approval from the world health organization.
8:26 pm
or the csr faxing is approved by the international scientific community. we will welcome it, but it must be approved. we venezuela and should not be guinea pigs going to he doesn't. yes. but with no end in sight for latin america's vaccine shortage. summer being forced to choose between an unrecognized shot or none at all. we had a hot dry start the summer here in germany, but a heap of rain over the past few weeks as far as expecting a boost in weekend rates. the harvests still, that's pretty much where the optimism dries up. in more extreme weather linked to climate change could continue to take its toll flooding in bavaria. within minutes, the fields near pascal were covered of 250 kilometers, long weather, front, broad, heavy rain and hail storms, and left a trail of devastation. many corn fields are brown. the valuable human soil has been washed away. michelle called
8:27 pm
painters, entire crop, is destroyed. 40 heck, there's a total loss founder for his $120.00 cattle will be scarce and expensive in the winter. go to thank god i have insurance, but of course that doesn't cover everything. i have to buy feed from my cat on which i have been on the farm for 16 months. i can't just say, i'm not going to feed them. they need to eat every day. so i have to buy feed. i have no other choice to call them as far as the exact amount of damage in the fields is determined by the reconnaissance teams from the storm insurance company. the assessors count the plants per square meter that remain and estimates the total damage. here it's a complete loss. this court wasn't hit by the full force of the storm, but the clients were hammered by hailstones and they won't you of the harvest. the
8:28 pm
wheat here is have the stock snapped off. the grain can no longer develop the damage and the storm region is enormous. we are yes, i'd say our company will have to pay 18 to 19000000 euros this week. the actual damage is a lot more your side with. i think it's may have a car. i estimate that around. 50000000 euros in damages were caused in bavaria and sons into this 500 kilometers further north near magda burg here. farmer cod was a balsam is contending with extreme drought instead of 10 milliliters of rainfall. there's only been 2. there is drought insurance, but the premiums are too high to be worthwhile. unlike hale storms, for example, drought doesn't occur locally, but over an extended region hose. a bottom insists that without government subsidies, drought insurance can work for you. on the insurance companies would have to receive
8:29 pm
a cross subsidy from the state or the federal government so that they can offer the insurance without operating at a loss in the fall. and that would guarantee that we will be able to maintain our operations in these extremely dry years. and can many affected farmers say climate change is already year, and that extreme weather will become even more severe in the coming years, making it impossible to pay for the damage to their fields. nice. doing business with me the the fight against the corona virus pandemic. how has the rate of infection in developing? what does the latest research say information and contact the corona virus. the 19th special next on dw,
