simon: it will buy time.eam -- the furlough schema, if it gets extended in october, the illusion that the furlough scheme will for many just be delaying the inevitable redundancy. the job centers will be desperately hoping that jobs are created. interestrest rates or rates down near zero bound. pump the economy back to life over the latter half of this year and the early part of next year. manus: that does not paint a very optimistic picture. recession when we come off furlough, what is the risk? even using the word depression? simon: that is the risk. given zerotic view, interest rates, that there will be a global uplift in the second half of the year. if you look at the expectations for global gdp this year, there is a consensus building, 2021 for be back into territory different degrees. imf looking for a significant rebound up to positive growth next year. , i think youterm have to suggest that there is greater downside risk than upside risk. market seems to be reflecting that. investors have piled into g

the chief executive of the nhs in england — sir simon stevens — has called for adult social care to be and for all. he said the pandemic had shone a harsh spotlight on the care system in england, which needed urgent reform. our political correspondent chris mason reports. the pride and gratitude for our carers has once again been there for all to see, but providing and paying for social care remains a colossal challenge. the carers that work for ourselves and the nhs have gone above and beyond and i think there's now this recognition that they deserve better pay, they deserve better conditions, and we're hoping that really sticks. now the head of the nhs in england says change must come quickly. i would hope that by the time we are sitting down this time next year, on the 73rd birthday of the nhs, we have actually as a country been able to decisively answer the question, how are we going to fund and provide high—quality social care for my parents' generation? in his first speech as prime minister, borisjohnson made a big promise. we will fix the crisis in social care once and for all.

simon the reports the u.s. is offering money to other countries like brazil which want to build a 5 g. technology network as long as they shun the y. obviously how watery do you think the chinese should be and that sort of policy. well i i think you know the chinese you know have massive massively deep pockets to sort of fund. the expansion of their companies than and you know i mean that there has there have been reports of export financing previous decades which is one of the things that allowed. allowed chinese companies to get market share although although weston weston bender's also benefited from from those sort of arrangements from their home government and governments but i think you know if you're if you're asking who can now be. the chinese treasury can the u.s. do it i guess i mean the u.s. can print can print money right but you know that sort of thing is very damaging ultimately because it really distorts markets and and it distorts incentives and and these sort of things i mean in latin america p

here's what simon says police told him. >> they were like, wow. we can actually almost see the other house that was broken into two hours prior to yours. >> reporter: at least three others in the community have come forward, telling me they were targeted as well by suspects matching the same description as in simon's father's case. including one in nearby visitation valley and another from a victim in oakland. oakland police have since recovered the vehicle and simon's father showed me the items recovered from it. mostly trash including this empty box. it is though sentimental item that's hurt the family the most. >> my parents wedding set that my grandma has given to them. and that just broke my heart. >> reporter: simon has the parting words for the men that did this and hurt so many other families. >> the way you broke into their home, the way you planned for everything, you guys aren't dumb. like, you guys definitely put in a lot of hard work to do this. you make it so that, you know, we have to be scared. asians have to be scared. and that's

simon question from this isjohnson. have been fairly confused from time to time. liz says "why haven't they just said wear time to time. liz says "why haven't theyjust said wear a mask in public at all times apart from when you are eating and drinking?" at all times apart from when you are eating and drinking? "ij at all times apart from when you are eating and drinking?" i am not a politician but i think we can discuss how the advice has been over the course of the pandemic. but i think in regard to this question, the two related factors the first is as long as people are able to physically distance, we can be in public and quite easily maintain ideally a two metre plus distance between other people, also we may be in public in a fairly open space. the risk of transmission here is relatively low so in these kind of insta nces relatively low so in these kind of instances mass where he may not be necessary. i think the related point to this is that we have known from behavioural sciences that the introduction of the new

let's get to simon french for real-time reaction.ors are beginning to write off the dollar. i am looking at this and of -- it's, a sign still a useful hedge. simon: i'm afraid i am more bullish on the u.s. dollar. i look at the alternative reserve currencies, despite as we talked about before the break, improvements in the european situation. i do not think the european economy recovery will be particularly supported by a stronger euro. they are not keen to take on that role. the yuan is certainly not in a position to do that in terms of liquidity. so what options are there? dani's analysis was excellent around the nature of the short position. that has historically been a very contrarian signal. if we get a stimulus package passed in the coming days, and if we start to see geographic spikes, you mentioned the one in hong kong, the focus will move off the u.s. the fact is this is a global problem. annabelle: where do you see the euro strengthening to, and at what point does it make investors worried and uncomfortable in terms of how

simon stevens is also hopeful that we may soon have a vaccine. there are more than 20 projects in place and one hopefully could be delivered between september and december. it is important to remember that the nhs asa important to remember that the nhs as a workforce on its knees after months of fighting coronavirus. the strain on their mental health is a real concern among the industry. they have a backlog of cases also to deal with andy during lockdown people have put off seeking medical help for things like cancer because of the fear of getting the virus. so it is not a waiting list could reach 10 million by the end of the year. sir simon stevens has said he is defensive of the performance of the nhs. he has said if you go back to march you can see footage from hospitals in northern italy with corridors full of patients and doctors effectively playing god choosing who lives and who dies. he said that that led to the building of things like the cat cat nightingale hospital and while in reality fewer patients required hospital care in england, t

simon stevens says, u nfortu nately more now. unfortunately the elderly are the most at risk of this virus and there has been a similar pattern in care homes across europe. speaking to andrew marr, he said the coronavirus has shone a very harsh spotlight on the care system and that he hopes that this will lead to the reform that this will lead to the reform thatis that this will lead to the reform that is the industry desperately needs. the department of health says it will bring forward a plan for reform. they were talking specifically about covid—19 this morning, butjust looking at the wider issue of reform, scotland does it differently, northern ireland does it differently, the funding of ca re does it differently, the funding of care homes in england is done differently depending on which counsel you fall into. yes, there is a lot of difficulties facing the government, a big concern with things to do with care homes when it comes to the amount of people who work zero—hour contracts, the number of people coming into care homes

rosenberg's comments why why why the disagreement i respect simon greatly and some of the points he's making are valid the one it is in is the united states does a service it's been a mess for a long time and i talked to talked to a lot of election supervisors around the country because i'm very interested and how prepared are are not prepared they are for this election i can tell you almost universally they're worried that they're not going to get it right when i say get it right they're not going to be able to handle something they've never had to face before and already in the primary season this campaign season we've seen examples of tens of thousands of uncounted ballots or ballots that came and supposedly too late to be counted in primaries so what is there to lead us to believe that's going to be any different when they value most of those coming in by mail are going to be at 8 you know 2 or 3 times greater than what we see in the primaries and i can just come out as one of the guys i just. 95 percent of the elections that have been conducted this year have been conducted witho

simon is a dad of three from shropshire.y theories on youtube. so, i invited professorjovan byford to meet simon and talk about how to tackle conspiracies. they spoke about the definition of a conspiracy theory, simon's concerns in what he had come across online and why conspiracies like this one can easily suck people in. conspiracy theories, what makes them so appealing and popular is that they are very often based on small kernels of truth. simon reflected on the conspiracies he had entertained, although he admitted he still wouldn't necessarily want to have an approved vaccine against coronavirus in the future. i think that it might make me think twice. but, to me, i will always be open to the idea that there is more than just what you're being told. how do you think the conversation you just had with simon went it went well, better than i thought it would. he presented himself as somebody who is inherently sceptical. now, at first sight, that might seem as a different kettle of fish compared to somebody who a firm belie

and for more on this let's bring in our political correspondent simon young hello simon so the defense minister's words he arrived at toxic leadership culture within germany's elite commando how serious is the. christine i think it's pretty serious because there have been repeated incidents perhaps not a general culture but isolated incidents repeatedly in germany's armed forces the bullets fair in recent years of soldiers with sympathies with you know right wing ideology and examples of extremism and it seems that in this special k s k special forces unit there's a really really serious problem with this a number of worrying incidents of come up in recent years in 27 saying there were reports of and offices leaving party which right wing rock music was played and some people were giving the the hitler salute with an outstretched right arm and then in january of this year as you mentioned 20 k. s. k. soldiers were said to be suspected of right wing far right activities and just in may a cache of weapons was found on the property of a k s k a soldier police recovered ammunition and expl

young reporting thank you very much and as simon referenced there spain the spanish government says that the country is safe to visit despite a surge in corona virus cases this statement comes after the u.k. reimposed a 2 we quarantine on travelers returning from the country well spain fears the move could deal a big blow to its struggling tourism industry has asked britain to exclude erik and cannery islands air from the quarantine measures citing the low number of cases there. aren't and next to vietnam which is back on high alert after an outbreak of the current virus was confirmed in the coastal resort city of denying all this after weeks of no new cases being reported the gulf . and has reacted quickly and started evacuating thousands of people. this crowded airport lobby is a far cry from the beaches of done but for many people summer holidays have now come to an appropriate and overall $80000.00 tourists are being evacuated from the coastal city after at least 3 new coronavirus cases were reported there on the weekend. i was supposed to go back tomorrow afternoon but i'd rath

porter simon bowen is here to help give us some more perspective on the potsdam conference simon the past some conference marked the end of one conflict and the beginning of another didn't it that's right aaron it showed what what a difference just a few months could make this was the 3rd major conference between the big 3 powers and it was the 1st after the war and thus the 1st without a common enemy and that's where things started to go wrong in terms of working together. the the result ready eastern europe practically in the hands of the soviet union stalin was under in control of much of the continent and there was very little the western powers to do about that. all they could really talk about was the future of germany and much of watch transpired there actually took place and could be seen as the foundation of the modern german state they had a list of several things all of which began with d.d. not sophistication democratisation decentralisation but there is another word division that hadn't been planned the soviets and the western powers simply couldn't work together and end

well for more i'm joined now by didn't use a simon simon what is at stake with this summit well for the e.u. leaders it's a chance to show that solidarity for the members that were hardest hit by the corona virus and that's all well and good but this package is also very very expensive and so there is some member states most notably the netherlands that are a bit concerned about the price of it now the plan on being offered at the moment sees 500000000000 euros as. basically a grant to the 2 to the countries like italy and greece and 250000000000 in loans the netherlands netherlands and 4 other countries the frugal for frugal 5 depending if you include finland or don't. are not very happy about this they prefer to see loans now on the other hand the countries like greece are so indebted already that they would have a hard time taking on more debt to increase to improve their economies and they obviously would prefer the handouts so i think we're going to be seeing a lot of negotiation on this it may go into the weekend when germany is of course often seen as frugal and in the past has i

isabel, stephanie and simon, thank you so much and that is it for dateline london for this week. despite the chilly start of sunday morning, temperatures got up to 25 celsius in the south—east. it was a warmer day for most with an abundance of sunshine. but for the next few days we are introducing more cloud and it will therefore feel cooler and there will be some rain. that's been moving in through sunday evening and overnight on these set of weather fronts, a fair breeze as well blowing particularly in the north. so those weather fronts introduce more clouds, so it won't be as chilly first thing this morning. a little bit of mistiness in the south, but here we hold onto sunshine, certainly through the morning, and then the cloud thickens in the afternoon. as that weather front slips south, we will see some clearance further north in terms of brighter, drier weather, but still with some heavy showers around particularly in the north—west of scotland, lengthier sunny spells further south and east and still quite warm. some brightness for northern ireland but you can see that clou

young who is tracking this story for you simon what more have you learned. well lately you mentioned the statement by foreign minister heiko moss saying that the decision to perspire own the election and also to disqualify a number of opposition karen candidates who are a further encroachment on the basic rights of people in hong kong including the right to free and fair elections and he said those events as well as the arrests of democracy activists were very concerning to the german government that's why this action has been taken and of course extradition is at the heart of concerns about hong kong it was the protests last year about an extradition bill that has since been withdrawn but it would have allowed suspects to be extradited from hong hong kong to mainland china that ultimately led i think to the in position all of the hong kong security law which of course western governments including germany have been extremely concerned about and that's i mean i outlined some of the reasons that prompted to today's decision by the german government why was th

liquidated damages mt falls on on mary trump most of the time you'll see a publishing company like simon and schuster say look we will handle liquidated damages we think we can make enough money on this book that we're going to go forward anyway and any damages that ensued from there will will go ahead and handle that daniel ellsberg is a great example the daniel ellsberg case with the pentagon papers understand those papers they were they were published and daniel ellsberg was you know he was indicted in the end he was not prosecuted so the point is this mary trump is a risk simon and schuster is not at risk just like in the in daniel ellsberg case ellsberg was at risk but the publisher was not at risk because they argued 1st amendment and they also argued that this notion of prior restraint on publishing or pre-publication injunction should not be considered by the court and they were successful so i think the book comes out and i think what mary trump is going to have to understand is that has ramifications that are going to flow after that. it's rare that a book is stopped from publi

washington correspondent stephanie simons has been following the story for us a chef at what exactly are the accusations against this group associated with russian intelligence. because asians as they stand from the british authorities u.s. authorities and canadian authorities a p t 29 as you said or cozy bear or also called the duke. conducted cyber attacks that is spare fishing and malware it takes against organizations state organizations or private organizations any organization they probably thought has a good leg up in covert 19 research for a vaccine and this group absolutely is simulated at least that's what western intelligence services say simulated to the russian intelligence and military they are accused of trying to get information on how far western authorities or private companies is that draw in their covert 19 research well what exactly would be the potential harm of an africa and still vaccine information is it likely to have an effect on efforts to fight a chronic virus. good question difficult to answer it is all about the money of course unfortunately nothing is

isabel, stephanie and simon, thank you so much and that is it for dateline london for this week.there. well, after the disappointment of recent weekends when low pressure was in charge — we had wet, windy, and cloudy weather — actually, we have got off to a decent start this weekend. a sunny morning, a bit of cloud built up during saturday afternoon, but saturday evening time, that cloud began to fragment and we had clear spells that started to develop, and they are continuing to develop actually, right now, with those skies continuing to clear underneath this area of high pressure, but the eagle—eyed amongst you might notice this approaching weather front. yes, that will bring some rain to the far north—west as we head through sunday. still, over the next few hours, it is clear skies that we've got. northern ireland, scotland, england and wales and underneath those clear skies in the countryside, it is quite chilly, temperatures getting down to about six or seven as we start off sunday morning. a bit more cloud, though, for the far north of scotland. a few showers in shetland. f

so at this point it's impossible to say who's going to win on this well i think so i think simon andschuster is going to win i think the book is going to be a bestseller i think it's going to generate a lot of money and the only question is who wins between the trump family and mary trump as i said mary trump is saying look the reason this thing is null and void the reason the n.d.a. is nolan void is because there was fraud in the disclosure of assets that the trunk family came forward with and so that's going to be an element they're going to argue the the trump family are is going to obviously argue you can go forward with this but your damages are going to be substantial she simply has to take the risk maybe simon and schuster will step in to handle the damages that might result here does it make the president look good to beef by having it. i think it's a big mistake i think every time i think every time trump steps up and fight something like he did with bolton or that the publications are going to continue to look his base is his base his base at 40 percent isn't going to chang

isabel, stephanie and simon, thank you so much and that is it for dateline london for this week.hello there. there's more sunshine to come through the rest of the day, and it's probably going to be a warmer day than it was yesterday. for much of the country, we've got high pressure still in charge, keeping it fine and dry. the fly in the ointment, this weather system coming in from the atlantic to bring some rain towards more north—western parts of the uk. but most of the cloud that we'll see today may well be high cloud, a bit like this. there may be some patchy fair—weather cloud here and there developing as temperatures continue to rise. we've also got more cloud across the northern isles of scotland. sunshine turning a bit hazy for northern and western areas with that high cloud coming in and the cloud thickening from the west to bring some rain in from the atlantic into northern ireland during this afternoon. temperatures here probably making 19 celsius, though, towards the east coast and 20 around aberdeenshire and the murray firth. temperatures 23, possibly 2a towards the

young and our land thank you simon. well to german football where bundesliga side vander bremen were held to a draw i 2nd division hyde now i'm in the 1st leg of their playoff the 2nd leg is on monday with the winners getting a spot in the german top flight and losers having to settle for the 2nd tier. florian coalfields further blame and produced a stunning 61 win over cologne last weekend to keep alive the hopes of staying in the league or confidence was there for high for the home 1st leg of their play off against 2nd tier hiden time. but it was the visitors who had much the better chances in the 1st half maurice multiroom screwing this shot wide for haydn time who have never been in the windows league. lackluster braman were mainly reduced to long shots as the rain poured in the 2nd half and they had nicolas moyes sunda sent off late on. hiding behind continued their strong showing and almost dropped the lead at the death. nil nil it's ended hard time has a population of less than $50000.00 and will be one of the sm

right now simon says studying the wreck of the merchant vessel coast traitor. the ship was torpedoed and sunk by a japanese submarine off the coast of washington state in june of 1902. the records indicate that there still could be $1000.00 tons of fuel on board. and as the edge of the hatch with the combing. look at the decking there you see how that's failed such information is often reliable but sometimes the researchers can find out more by using underwater robots. the team wants to determine where the torpedo actually struck the ship. so we are. going to be their investigation reveals that the vessel was heavily damaged and probably lost a lot of oil as it sank. so this wreck now seems less of a danger than was 1st feared but other wrecks could contain more oil than the records indicate. no was simply doesn't have the resources to use robots to study all the sunken ships. the researchers so far have examined $573.00 majors. bricks and have written detailed reports on $87.00 of them. 36 were believed to pose a serious threat to all their oil leaked out. and

simon jack, for business to bite. 0k, simon, many thanks.rspective. what about the political context? 0ur political editor laura kuenssberg is at westminster. when we look at the political rationale behind this statement, laura, what is your reading of that? this is a really big moment. at any other time this would be seen as an absolutely enormous, gigantic, whopping price tag for any government to put into the economy and a pretty strange thing for a conservative chancellor to have announced. but you know, we are not in normal times. 0ne cabinet minister said to me tonight we have to sow the seeds to bear the fruit and today confirmed, for the time being, coronavirus has brought in an era of big government spending and big government intervention in the economy. but there are two really important things to bear in mind. right now with interest rates at rock bottom for the foreseeable future there is no immediate political clamour to decide to say how and when all this money is going to be paid back. that's a complete transformation of the

political correspondent simon young reporting thank you very much. and in the meantime the german government says it will require mandatory coronavirus testing for travelers were turning to the country from high risk areas while a german has health minister said the measures are necessary to prevent incoming travelers from unknowingly infecting others in triggering a 2nd wave of covert 19 countries deemed to be high risk currently include the united states brazil russia and turkey. and in austria 53 people have tested positive for the corona virus and a lakeside resort while the outbreak in the town of sun to evolved on that bears some hallmarks of last winter's rash of cases in the austrian ski resorts once again tourism seems to be a factor. that coronaviruses mainly spread among locals working in sanct for gangs tourist industry they appear to have infected one another side of work as of sunday evening only one hotel guest had tested positive but it's possible that other holidaymakers may have been infected before leaving austrian or thirty's and

young here in berlin to both of you good evening simon let me start with you the troop withdrawal it's even bigger than expected so what has been the reaction here in germany. yeah brant the so far the german government i think biting their lives the foreign and defense minister has released a joint statement the seed name saying just that they had taken notes of this decision and that they would be consulting with the affected regions in germany but also with the u.s. government and with nato partners but there has been some sort of disappointed reaction from some politicians for instance the varian state premium or because. he said that this is the wrong decision that it weakens the u.s. and nato in their military interests of bavaria of course in. he's an interested party here because the u.s. base at graf and in bavaria is the lawyer just over sees us only base in the world and others within the political scene here really quite disappointed pointing out that you know the us presence in germany is known about defending germany primarily it's about the us all operational capability

which as simon pointed out is not in the u.s. is best interest at all and anyone who knows about how the resources are allocated there in germany much of what station there is is for u.s. interests and not to protect europe at all the african headquarters in stuttgart for example so i think that because it was secretary esper he was quite calm he was flanked by the supreme allied commander europe. the announcement of it today is sort of anti-climactic and and nato is getting used to just sort of saying well we could have been worse it's a very good point there are so many variables in this decision so i mean we've gone into what you coming up in november in the united states and i'm wondering how will this decision impact u.s. german relations moving forward. well i think this decision strikes at the heart of the relationship between germany and the u.s. you've got to remember there have been tens of thousands of u.s. servicemen and women as stationed here since the 2nd world war and for many people they felt safe because of it t
