U. States in supporting the suspension of legally required travel refunds during the pandemic theyve called the airlines to temporarily off of vouches instead of refunds when trips are canceled and lines across europe and. Scare them have thought state bailouts as lock downs have forced them to ground their fleets well lets speak to Geoffrey Thomas hes the editor in chief of Airline Ratings dot com he joins us now from perth jeff could these just be a pretty print for others i know a number of other Major Airlines are already implementing them. Look indeed the problem with refunds is that dick it savages the cash reserves of these airlines and some airlines are getting state i need some airlines are getting loans from their state or guarantees others are not and so theres no common policy across the globe and so were finding that this passengers are getting quite distraught over the over the wide variation. And so the vasher system the suggested. Backed up by the government is to be welcomed but thats not thats not common across the globe and if there is a sort of trade off if it continues because i guess consumers will want to f. A. s to remain competitive off to these travel restrictions areas then thats only possible if as actually competition right so should they rather be opting for that says rather than refunds. All look absolutely i think i think across the globe weve all got to make concessions this is all costing us money but at the same time you know whether we whether were supporting our local a alan or a 5 day a lot or a local restaurant with tyco ice. Everybody needs help and the airlines are no different because the airlines are losing half of their revenue for 2020 and some of the by a lot sort of being required across the globe are absolutely massive the in the United States its about 50000000000. 00 for the usa alliance and they say that sort of number is replicated in certain jurisdictions and others it is not so theres a lot of given type and certainly we want to preserve as many of these airlines as we possibly can for that very highly competitive market we want post covered 9 to think so and jeff as you say weve already seen several of these government bailouts in the aviation fact that how critical has that government funding being and in keeping alan the fed has it been enough look in certain jurisdictions it has been enough for instance in the middle east some of the countries they have stepped up significantly like at the top in other jurisdictions they havent been astray you know for instance the the federal government there really has not stepped up to support its too. And so coming out of postcode like saying youre going to get some airlines that are very well look just other ones that are not so here it will be a very unbalanced playing field. But 19 a lot more needs to be done because i vi sion is the is the fabric of the economy of the world and we need a robust Airline System to help with this recovery. And jeff i do want to just come back briefly to the to the consumer situation here not everyone books directly with their lines and i see some travel agencies have also been charging some fairly stiff cancellation fees so what is the Consumer Rights situation there just briefly very briefly look at very soon jurisdiction to jurisdiction across the globe again nothing is common unfortunately theres not one system and so yes some of these travel agencies are themselves in dire straits and theyre everybody is trying to hold d on to whatever cash. And and apply the usual cancellations again thats probably because the government of that particular country is not sticking its you know jeff thomas there the editor in chief of Airline Ratings dot com thank you for joining us on out of there its a pleasure.

Lets take you to some other news now and iraqs army says 3 policemen have been killed and 2 others injured after eisel feiss attacked a Police Station in the city of baquba its the latest in a round of violence thats taken place over the last week and the vehicle of a Top Commander was targeted in a separate city where one soldier died and at least 10 members of an Iraqi Paramilitary group were killed in separate attacks. Is the senior director of the counter extremism project and he says this latest attack shows the fight against i saw is far from over. This is the latest episode of a slow resurgence of eisel in iraq which started fairly soon after the final defeat off the territorial control of eisel and 2019 its clear that i still had long prepared for the period after its military defeat which the organizing i mean efficient bombs organizing cells that act independently now what weve seen in this attack is a very classic eisel tactic that they used before they gained territory in 2014 to weaken the Security Forces and cow tribes within the sunni area into following them we are pretty much again at a situation that we were once before in 2011 where International Forces also due to the current corona situation slow to withdrawing from the country the international i think coalition numerous nations have already withdrawn their troops because of corbett 1000 more will follow the had the same situation that the Central Government in iraq promised the sunni parts of its country a certain amount of autonomy including their own Security Forces promises that again it has not been fulfilled and all of this vacuum is overlaid by a rivalry between the United States and iran on iraqi territory so the country faces multiple internal challenges i still is simply taking advantage of this kind very very difficult situation. Now the global for oil and oil prices has left many governments railing but irans president says his countrys economy is able to cope better than most thanks to being forced to diversify because of us.

S. Sanctions had helped his country become less susceptible to the tumbling market iran he said is now less reliant on oil how many. Lemar how many. Rich countries including us with it by the situation some more some less so we will be hit list in other countries iran has spent years trying to move away from an Oil Based Economy but still sells oil through back channels i guess. If we want to say that irans economy was not affected by the Oil Price Drop i think thats wrong it has definitely been impacted but if other countries fell from the 10th floor then iran fell from the 2nd floor because iran has already fallen in the past due to sanctions. Iran is trying to make up for lost oil revenue by manufacturing more goods it can sell abroad as well as building up other industries such as plastics mining and agriculture the government says non oil exports to china and neighboring countries have increased but oil and gas are still vital to its economy iran has expanded Refining Capacity in recent years and unveiled a new oil field in the southwest of the country. It also has a large domestic market because of u. S. Sanctions iran has been unable to freely so its oil the government has for years been trying to diversify the economy to get away from depending on oil as its main source of revenue but one of the things that leaders said they had to do was remove state subsidies on things like gas to ease the governments financial burden. In november last year the price of petrol at the pumps doubled in some cases tripled overnight it sparked the worst protests since the 1979 Islamic Revolution the death toll from the violence security crackdown that followed is still unclear when Global Oil Prices fell earlier this month some on social media began asking for the savings to be passed on to them now that the oil price is equal to the price of dirt shouldnt the price of gasoline and other crude products go down to said 1. 00 gasoline in the u.

The more established in higher profile zoos have a stronger chance of staying afloat but the pressure is still immense there is like malala franticly fund raising securing bank loans and furloughing staff to try and see them through the crisis and while the governments support package is welcome it is limited in scope.
