ahead there are from the london school of economics and political science thank you so much for your time. and it's time now to answer your questions about 90 in the over to our science correspondent derrick williams. a vaccine for common cold coronaviruses has never been developed why are scientists cautiously optimistic that a vaccine for covert 19 will be found. it's true that we've never developed vaccines against the various corona viruses that cause cold like symptoms but there's but there's a big difference between them and sars cove 2 and that's that it doesn't just make you miserable for a day or 2 it can kill you in other words we've never really had this kind of motivation both medical and economic to develop a vaccine for common colds developing a vaccine is a long wearisome and very very expensive process but but so many researchers and companies are throwing so much time and so many resources into the covert 19 problem that i for one i'm pretty confident they'll come up with was some kind of vaccine quickly that will that will prove effective to some extent at least in

joining us now is peter trubowitz, a professor of international relations at the london school of economicsl change in social america once these protests are finished? i think a lotz: of it depends on the kind of messaging that occurs between now and the end of those protests, what brings those protests to an end. -- know, the message that certain messages need to come both at the local level on how the police will perform in the future and so forth, but i think also at the federal level, there needs to be a set of guidelines. really, there are no national guidelines for policing. i think we are not hearing anything from the white house on that really. that's what we need to see. house,ay, at the white it really was all about optics and threats. and i think probably what really needs to be seen is -- what needs to be coming from the white house is more positive messaging about what it will take to kind of bind and heal the nation's wounds over this. an unbelievable an unprecedented situation where you have three crises going on at the same time, a health, economic, and social crisis. franci

in let me just bring in jason nichols waiting very patiently the anthropologist of the london school of economics author of the divide a brief guide to global inequality and solutions i'm interested in the climate because some people are very forcefully rejected the idea that there is a clash there you can focus on green growth what do you think about that it's interesting because the only reports that were published by international situations on green growth were done in 2012. sustainability with interesting is that they did not cite any substantial models to justify this idea that richard can manage to grow while at the same time massively reduced in material consumption of emissions down to the carbon budget or to be celsius since then fortunately there have been a number of key studies which i write a lot about and literally every single one of the models that has been developed shows that green growth is not a thing it's literally physically impossible to have exponential growth of the same time as reducing material consumptions and reducing emissions fast enough to stay with them to the ca

economic crisis which has seen the country's currency plunge. took money is the director of the syria conflict research program at the london school of economics and political science she says changing the prime minister will make no difference to syria's economic crisis. the main reason there was a popular pressure to. change the prime minister really is the economic deterioration and the reason why the syrian public were criticizing the prime minister and the minister is only because they know this is the level they can criticize without getting in trouble they know that any syrian prime minister has no power at his disposal to change the situation they know that the power lies somewhere else but this is that where this is about where they can create you know point their criticism so it may relieve a little bit of criticism but it's not going to change anything the constitution doesn't give the prime minister any power even if he has a right now the economy isn't complete completely overrun and there's very little he can do to rescue the situation the household income which was almost $230.00 the average salary in 2010 right now it's $40.00 when

from london robert courtly jr here is a visiting fellow at the helena observatory at the london school of economics nice to have you with us so we've got the split berlin slash angela merkel wants to keep those ties with china and then you've got the other sort of part of your you could say the brussels slash micron's side which is more wary of that can can they exist side by side. to mark good morning thanks for having me i think it's an interesting time of see chancellor merkel takes over the council presidency for the last time next week and she has said she will use the time to have constructive dialogue with china which really sadly really doesn't mean and. i think it's important to look at it from an economic level which is that. china also has a much stronger trading relationship with germany than it does with france's picture and since germany is the 5th largest trading partner it's china where is france is the $7380.00 largest trading. i think when it comes to human rights and even some actions of investments in emerging markets the e position that china is is unsustainable going forward i

tom: if you look at the span of the london school of economics, --fessor, if you go from there are changedks. the giant landmark of the moment is a debt buildup. particularly in america where debt is the solution to all. how are we going to pay down all this debt? plan forhe degrauwe paying down worldwide trillions of dollars of promises for tomorrow? again, optimistic and pessimistic scenarios. the optimistic scenario is after this pandemic, there will be a huge burst of growth and economic activity. pretty much as we have seen roaringe spanish -- the 1920's. we saw several years of very high growth rate. it is difficult to know whether this was out of the end of the spanish flu or the end of the first world war, but truly there was a huge expansion. so it is not impossible that these things happen. then we get into a benign scenario, which would mean that as the growth rate picks up again, interest rates remain low, then we get into dynamics were the debt to gdp ratios declined automatically. the interest rate and the growth economy. with that is negative, of a positive dynamic. the grow

romaine: you have a lot of great voices in here like nicholas stern at the london school of economicsthe folks who either wrote for this piece or were quoted in this issue, is there general consensus that the will is there and still there in the midst of this covid-19 crisis, in the midst of this recession, to continue down this path that seemed to be going well prior to the crisis we ended up in? theian: that is really political question. europe has been at the forefront of this. climatethe eu pushing measures. this was done after we went to press. but germany pushed forward a major slate of clement priorities for its economic -- of climate priorities for its economic recovery. china has said they want to work toward their china goals -- the claimant goals. but we have seen a push toward coal power as an easy means of providing electricity to people. the u.s. has lagged behind that. even in the stimulus bill passed by the house, no climate priorities. that was a bill that was written by democrats with the understanding that the republican-controlled senate was never going to pass it.

differentials, that is something shahab jalinoos knows at credit suisse come out of the london school of economics grind or it morning to you. what is the credit call on the u.s. dollar? shahab: good morning. we are looking for a weaker dollar. i think to some of the points you have already made, firstly, we have a situation where the fed is still buying around $80 billion a month in treasuries, and the balance sheet expansion is continuing may be slightly slower than the peak levels we historical any standard, at a fast pace. you also have yield curve control. the market is still pricing in about 40% of yield curve troll and the u.s. within the next three months you some feel the fed have already decided to do that, and it is a question of working out implementation. these factors, together with very low nominal rate, are also very low, and so you'll yieldentials -- so differentials do not preclude being short all are these days. -- short dollar these days. tom: this is really important to how we fold in our conversation yesterday with james bullard. do yould curve controls, assume that means low

he writes wonderfully direct research reports out of the acuity of the london school of economics.t to start with what was in the literature this weekend, which is the what if. what if we do fill school -- what if we do fiscal policy? what if we do fiscal salvation? and what if we run out of it before we get a legitimate recovery? is that feasible? is that possible? james: with the politics they way they are right now, i think anything is possible. i could imagine a strong stimulus. i could imagine a temporary strong stimulus that runs out. that creates a lot of uncertainty for the outlook in both directions. to: so it really comes down not the v-shaped idea. down we go and up would go in q3. how big a mystery is the fourth quarter of this year? james: it is a very big mystery. we've got three uncertainties. first, are we going to have another fiscal stimulus? we have the extended unemployment help running out on july 31. you're going to have a big drop in household cash flows after that. it, and itt renew looks like they probably won't. they might extend it, but not renew it. on t

this month well reenter crimea is the rector of syria conflict research program at the london school of economics and political science she joins us now via skype from london madame thank you as always for being with us here on al-jazeera so do you think that sacking the prime minister is going to make any difference. it's will not make any difference whatsoever and the main reason there was a popular pressure to change the prime minister really is the economic deterioration and the reason why the syrian public were criticising the prime minister and the minister is only because they know this is the level they can criticize without getting in trouble they know that any you see them prime minister has no power at his disposal to change the situation they know that the power lies somewhere else this is that where this is about where they can create the. point that criticism so it may or a little bit of criticism but is not going to change anything the constitution doesn't give the prime minister any power even if he has it right now the economy is in complete completely overrun and there is very l

london school of economics and political science she told me earlier all countries are facing the same challenges but they're dealing with it differently. i think we're seeing governments in latin america take very different approaches to how to manage this crisis so in brazil for example we have a complete denial by the federal government and we have a very mixed response from state local governors minutes polities where help helps made at the local level too to really understand you know some of them are taking it seriously and trying to put lockdowns and others are paternal for the imports are easily i don't think it's not a big deal and that's very different to somewhere like el salvador where there's been a complete clamp down on all activity and a complete lockdown but that's also important to contention questions or civil liberties if they are the tainting people in detention centers are symptoms then we would be seeing very different responses as government administrations have to weigh out their their economic responsibilities their public health to the population where all we

that figure is from the london school of economics, and it's the highest in europe, except for spain.igures. by the end of that period, almost 1,000 homes had reported infections. the care home industry puts it like this. our focus at the start of this pandemic was clearly the nhs, and there was not a recognition in either the planning process that happened in 2016, or indeed in this current pandemic, at the very start of it, that the most vulnerable people were in care homes. some of our problems around transmission, no doubt, are related to ppe, and very sadly, some of the deaths too. this has been a health pandemic, and what we haven't felt in the care sector is that we've had a health response. the government has been swift to deny those accusations. —— the government has quickly said they prioritise the sector. here's one minister in may. we don't accept the caricature that we took an approach that was wrong. very early on in this epidemic, we had protocols in place for care homes. there was guidance as to how they should approach things. as the situation developed, then more str

nick laws is an associate professor of anthropology at the london school of anthropology at the london school of economicsi think maybe in terms of things that didn't work so well, i think sometimes there was this idea it was the opportunity to reconnect with friends and family and there was just this assumption that you would be going back to normal, but actually, you have not been in a bubble with people before, and so there needs to be a bit of conversation about that kind of, that kind of arrangement. what other groundrules for the bubble? everyone needs to feel safe. tempting though it is, priti will not be forming a support bubble with her parents. she is in london. they are in shropshire. i have decided to stay put in london, rather than go back home to my vulnerable parents. and i think it is very important to have a precautionary approach, because there is so much uncertainty as to whether the virus will come back or not. there is no vaccine. that must have been a very difficult decision to make? yeah, i miss my parents so much. the last time i was there was in march, and it is the longest time i

dr clare wenham is assistant professor of global health policy at london school of economics and shejoins directly caused from covid—19 are still substantial relatively and that would refer to all conditions for which people are not seeking ca re for which people are not seeking care because they are concerned about going to hospital or a doctor forfear about going to hospital or a doctor for fear of about going to hospital or a doctor forfear of transmission about going to hospital or a doctor for fear of transmission or that those services are not provided at the same level as before. it is important to remember that we do not just focus on coronavirus deaths but the wider impact in the health care system. i know you are concerned about the impact on black and minority ethnic people as a disproportionate number of the victims of covid—19? disproportionate number of the victims of covid-19? the public health report that came out last week told us what we had assumed and what the data had been showing anecdotally which was that there was anecdotally which was that there was a greater risk

we were hearing in that report joining us now from london is clare when an assistant professor of global. health policy at the l.s.e. school of economics and political science professor when i welcome to the news hour there is so much anxiety and confusion as well around the world about lockdowns and about easing lockdowns why is it our politicians aren't doing more to convince us that it's the best thing to do so i think of lots of things happening i think for example some governments are feeling under pressure to open up their economy perhaps sooner than that maybe are epidemiologically ready as in the case numbers are not low enough but i think because if you have global media access if you are someone that you can see in the world opening up that you also want to open up when you want to get back to work and get back to i mean there's also tensions in different places about who you know who's being provided with financial support during this knock down here is not and how that being a valid how that's affecting government decision making and you know can they have who keep the lockdown going and you know the same time ensure that a

difficulties of being in lockdown and the economic difficulties he had some options that it's even harder for us right now so often when there's a place in london they would go off on school because they would find that she transmission wasn't as bad outside london of course the global economy means that transmission has been the same everywhere so we haven't got some of the options he had but we do have his plays the play that i was rehearsing just before we had to close the tail. almost certainly rison in a time of lockdown because of plague and it really speaks ill of healing that can happen after long periods of not being able to do what you want to do plagues have come and gone and shakespeare's plays survived above all today he might have urged patience come want to come may says macbeth time and the hour runs through the roughest day jonah stratford upon avon cleanup efforts are under way in siberia more than a week after a fuel reservoir at a power plant collapsed around $20000.00 tons of diesel spilled into a river near earl askin the arctic circle it's fair the accident could damage. the region's delicate environment compared at risk russian president vladimir p

let's speak now to dr nick long from the london school of economics —— who led a recent study on the new zealand. how close the people stick to the rules in new zealand and did work? people stuck to the rules very closely, particularly when we are looking at the low household support bubbles which new zealand caught the buddy system. everyone recognised that the numbers needed to come down and that the pandemic was very serious and so they stuck to it very seriously and there's always the possibility to see people as a social distance outside it he found is that there are people who really needed the support that you can only get inside, somebody who recently lost a spouse or have been bereaved 01’ lost a spouse or have been bereaved orjust waking lost a spouse or have been bereaved or just waking up lost a spouse or have been bereaved orjust waking up knowing that there someone orjust waking up knowing that there someone else in the house with them and it makes a huge difference. people who need support with childcare who have a soul is to juggle childcare who have a soul is to jugg
