question. is moscow playing politics with gas deliveries? we take a look and we take you to the canary islands where hotel operators are once again facing a wave of cancelled bookings due to travel and restriction. welcome to dw business, i'm chelsea delaney. thanks for joining us. joe biden. has signed a law banning imports from the chinese region of jong and already one major company is facing retaliation in china. that is in tell the u. s. semiconductor manufacturer that has apologized for angry. the chinese government offered coal that it suppliers to avoid goods and services and vision. john region, the company set, its intent was to comply with the new u. s. law. the united states, the european union and other countries, have accused china of a brutal crack down on the muslim, weaker minority, and the use of force labor camps. and john, now for more, unless i'm joined by our correspondent young corridor in new york,

no yen until has apologize. they said, and i quote that it isn't their own intention or position to ban products from john . but are those just empty words given that intel does have to abide by this law or? well, i mean, it clearly is said diplomatic tip toeing at this point. and i mean, the u. s. senate has just passed a bill in the last week. so we really have to see how the companies will deal with that in practice. so it's really a bit to, to, to tell if it's just empty words from him. tell how difficult is it for american businesses to cut this entire region from their supply chain? well, i mean, sir radically, the bill says that when you can prove that no forest labor is use, you can still produce in the region. you can still work with suppliers from the

region. and clearly, i mean with the supply chain, everything being so collected in our, today's the global. well, it's definitely not easy to make changes from one day to another. and we've seen a lot of companies get hit by back lashes on social media and china over their statements regarding ash. and john has not had an impact on their businesses. well, i mean, it's really always tricky to tell what precisely is hurting a sale. so because we did see a couple of companies, them having some trouble in china, but also because the inventory is low in general, have all those supply chain issues. so it is a bit tricky to really pinpoint it to it for if social media and china, for example, does cause some chinese to confuse consumers to stay away from us corporations and abroad. i mean,

one thing is for sure it just take intel as an example, they make about a 4th of their revenue in china and hong kong. so that also definitely tell to how important the chinese market overall is for intel. and for a lot of american companies as well, absolutely. about the quarter and new york. thank you so much. now to some of the other global business stories making news, a key measure of us inflation has risen at the fastest pace and for decades. personal consumption expenditures climbed 5.7 percent and over november, year on year hitting the critical holiday shopping period. inflation continues to run well above the federal reserve 2 percent inflation target. the us health regulator, the f. d. a has approved berks covert treatment, molded, molded peer of your merck and drug inserts, tiny errors into the viruses, genetic code to stop it from breeding. producing a similar treatment from pfizer was approved a day earlier. european natural gas prices have sort to do all time highs. and

recent days, that is due in part to questions over the reliability of the european union's biggest supplier, russia. some you politicians accused moscow of using a gas supply as a political weapon that the charge that russian president vladimir putin has emphatically denied. jess from the jamara pipeline usually flows from here in siberia to germany, but volumes had been falling since saturday. on tuesday, the guests stopped and began to flow back in the other direction, the more than 2000 kilometer long jamar pipeline links natural gas fields in russia with poland and germany via billers. it's one of the major routes for russian gas to europe. some western politicians and industry experts have accused russian president vladimir putin, of withholding deliveries to europe amid political tensions over ukraine and nod stream to something that he denied during his annual press conference and after the

world to him with by them they lie all the time that they mix everything up gas prom supplies, all the requested gas volumes, under current contracts. and not only that, but it's also increasing the volume or, or when the issue of the contract spokespeople for our w. e and univer which are among gas problems. biggest gas buyers in germany said the russian company was still meeting delivery obligations. but measurements show that gas volumes flowing through the jamara pipeline have indeed been reversed. some western politicians believe put in wants to put pressure on nod stream to. it's another pipeline which is set to deliver gas from russia through the baltic sea, directly to germany. the e u has not approved the pipeline yet. some experts believe the kremlin is deliberately reducing flows to drive up gas prices in europe, and speed up the approval process. experts warn that consumers in western europe

need to brace for even higher prices. more cold weather over the coming months is going to drive up demand. now hotel owners and the canary islands had high hopes for this winter season. just a few weeks ago, some were operating with occupancy rates of around 80 percent. now that's all changing due to the omar con variance. the mag, i already hear 10 a reef tries to make this time of year beautiful, but not even christmas as suitable for exuberant celebrations this year. the island is reporting record numbers of new cove infections for hotel owners. the outlook is spitter. letter said i send an infancy in the booking sa, getting shorter and shorter a week or 2 with the most. in january, i won't even be at 60 percent capacity at nanina yoseph and beth hotel owner.

paloma molina took out loans to get through the pandemic. she was hopeful that things would finally get back to normal, but instead of travellers insecurity as back, if they get a hold on it, you have to ask yourself again, do i invest, do i buy things to lay, improve things that blocks you, it blocks me wrong, ha ha. the problem is not only the 10th coroner virus situation on the island, but also where the tourists come from. great britain in particular, is struggling with high incidences. and the british tourists have to take 2 p. c. r tests on their return journey is particularly affects manage a heavier capero. british tourists make up 90 percent of guests at his hotel, several $100000.00 euros, and revenue are gone. as tom or sin and christine, looking, sat down at this point, looking at the next 3 months, his cancellations and cancellation soon gone to the field comfort of him. the outlook is not only dramatic for tell spot for the entire economy on the islands, but even canada tourism is a major factor in g, d, p,

and jobs in dublin. oil. employee of the new situation affects the jobs of monica, ernest 2 and one manuel. and not only them 80 farmers supply this cheese theory with gold and cow milk every day. but sales are faltering because restaurants and hotels are buying less product. boss candelabra go to vegas wonders, what will happen next? in a certain level, hamilton, when we pick up milk from the farmers, process it and then half no sales. that's very stressful for the entire sector. if we now go back to where we were last year, that would be very bad for us. and then you bustle every mile up at, in the, for the. currently there are about a 100 tons of cheese in the warehouse. 10 times the normal amount. the high season on the cannery islands goes until easter vacation, so there is still time to catch up, but no one knows how long this current wave of infection will paralyze here up.

and race. hundreds of millions of people are being forced into poverty, while the richest, both individuals and corporations are getting even richer things to soaring stock prices. the crisis has exposed the inability of our deeply unequal economy to work for all. at the same time, it's revealed the vital importance of government action to protect our health and livelihoods. this is your coven 19 update. i'm chelsea delaney, in berlin. no part and the world has been untouched by covert 19, but the effects had not been evenly shared. the world's poorest had been hit, especially hard by lockdown school closures and disruptions to health care. this next report take this to the suburbs of calcutta, india, where internet poverty has worse than throughout the pandemic. for 20 years to by his focus has been working with the 8 organization german doctors in the suburbs of

calcutta. he saved countless lives during that time, but now covered 19 has made life here even tougher than it already was. masks and disinfectant, too costly for most. and it's virtually impossible to stick to corona virus health regulations. jamini and he lost it. he should get those india in the inner city areas where we work at typical and the family of 710 square meters of living space, etc. and what that means, the already have to sleep on bunks and then shift the 1000. if on top of that we say now please keep your distance from each other. it would almost be cynical to demand something like that. phosphor sunni, so at us is on to bias. fogged knows how tough life can be for people. here in 2020 india's economic growth dropped by 23 percent. the corona virus lockdown had disastrous effects and overwhelming majority of the population a day laborers. according to a study by action, aid,

80 percent lost their employment. as a result of the pandemic. here lockdown means starvation. the situation is not that different in many, latin american and african countries. in early 2021, the international aid organization oxfam published a study called the in the quality virus. it showed that since march 2020, the number of people living in 30 has risen from 200000000 to 500000000. on top of this 621-2000 people die each day from starvation. english isn't field and, and i'd say at the end of the day, how many governments in the global south have been forced to make some very difficult decisions unlocked downs. that because of the knock on effects of locked downs are far more serious for people. there's more than we in the global north can really imagine in go buying on foster. additionally,

any improvements made to providing access to education for children have been negated by efforts to curb the pandemic. according to unesco, more than 880000000 children worldwide have suffered educational disruptions as a result of partial or full school closures. built on the dance and education is the key factor when it comes to helping people escape poverty on view. and we now see that as a result of the pandemic lee as many as 33000000 school age children are not returning to education. researches like debt left molar man from the university of bon have been collecting data on corona virus regulations in africa. fact is, africa is young, people over 65 who are the most at risk age group, make up just 4 percent of the population there. that's in contrast to 20 to 25 percent in the global north for didn't want to send a visit,

raises the question as to whether the tough corona virus regulations may end up having far more serious consequences than the pandemic itself. as the pending museum during the pandemic, agriculture and trade have suffered prices for staple foods have more than tripled . farmers were not allowed to sell their goods at markets. rural medical staff were recalled to the cities, nicole astro os. i'm one of the, of ation from a project i'm involved in, in ethiopia. he says that the government's actions have resulted in a disruption of relationships on 2 levels and in length. first of all, between rural communities and neighboring small towns and large cities and the capital of this size, and secondly, due to a certain extent, between the rural population and state institutions. soon, former german development minister, gout mila, has said, quote, far more people will die from the consequences of the lock downs. then from the

virus itself, we talked to murphy, a flat spot, former parliamentary state secretary to the federal minister of economic cooperation and development. we asked her, what long term damage could come about from the pandemic restrictions, equality i shot and i found in the worst consequence of the pandemic has clearly been hunger asked as tailor those and i formal jobs. you don't qualify for government relief spending. so by nor do they have health insurance, i don't have this one yet. the 2nd direct impact is not only the effects on health from the current of virus dissolved, joined, but rather the interruption to wider vaccination distribution of all kind in 9th and pos, for example, to vaccination programs against missiles, yellow fever and whooping car, maza get feedback inquiry was on the african continent alone, experts are predicting an additional 400000 deaths due to malaria and h r i v. along with another half

a 1000000 deaths from tuberculosis. although these numbers are very high, few people were paying attention to the problem of tuberculosis. the same thing is happening in india where all the focus is on covered 19 as the and finally you, when i started 20 years ago around 500000 people here died frontier berkey los in india. and that has be slightly improved. it's about 350000 or 400000 people die from it. annual yacht indian to book with all these figures. they're on the rise again, and yet they are really reported on one side effect of the global fight against covered 19 has been that the overall global help situation is deteriorating. tourism has also largely collapsed world wide. 25 african countries are on the verge of national bankruptcy. germany's foreign development minister called for

a 50000000000 euro sterilization program made up of european loans and emergency aid aid organizations like oxford, i'm calling for an internationally financed global social security fund. time is of the essence, it all to me again, we need more money, me, and the more people to commit to fighting both the immediate and long term consequences of the pandemic of ignorance. otherwise, they will come back to haunt us fed us up once we'd have to look. that's because the worst the situation gets, the more people will try to flee poverty and disease, leading to more migration without much needed aid. the global south may be sit back decades in its development, but right now, industrialized nations of busy with their own crises, that inequality virus will likely cause long term damage around the world. now it's time for you to ask us to answer shares of your question for our science

correspondent derek williams. oh, my, are vaccines still not universally available? many of the experts i've read tend to talk about 2 different aspects of this issue of the 1st is vaccine shortages, which are caused by factors rooted, mostly in logistics. for instance, um the fact that production of any medical product is going to be limited by bottlenecks. and upstream feed stocks of the ingredients that go into it. it simply takes time to ramp up the entire production chain. of these highly specialized vaccines to the kinds of scales that we need to fight a global pandemic on the challenges surrounding vaccine transport and distribution . also contribute to shortages, but at least the vaccine shortage problem is theoretically solvable, right?

i mean, we just have to get production up to speed and we're doing that. but the same can't be said for other factors that have gotten in the way of universal availability. they're what the experts mean when they talk about vaccine inequities on the program that was supposed to prevent them. the kovacs initiative has struggled from the beginning to meet distribution targets for poorer countries. not only because the logistics are hard, but because wealthier countries quickly snapped up nearly all of the available stocks for their own populations. according to the w h o. vaccine manufacturers are currently churning out around one and a half 1000000000 doses of vaccine every month. so the issue has now become

a lot less about shortages and a lot more about ongoing lopsided allocation. and that's continuing, even though we know that the fastest way to end the pandemic is to make vaccines universally available. how scientists are still learning about the i'm a con variant of the corona virus, but already there is evidence that it may be evading as existing vaccines. also worrying, research indicating that important therapeutics called monoclonal antibodies might work poorly or not at all against the new variance. monoclonal antibodies which are produced in bio react us mimic the naturally occurring antibodies made in the body . often infection with sas cove to if given to patients whether they are still in the early days of the disease, they can help mitigate the cause of cov 19,

and prevented from progressing to a more severe stage. at least with early a variance they did. but the latest resides, conclude that in the case of omi chron. 2 of the 3 monoclonal antibody treatments regularly used in the us. those manufactured by pharma giant eli lilly biotech summary generally would not help prevent serious illness and leapt tests on cells. only the monoclonal antibody therapy made by black. so smith klein continue to have a significant impact on, on a crunch. replication. thanks for watching. ah, [000:00:00;00]
