Euros missing from the Balance Sheets so have regulators been asleep on the job its a shame that Something Like that happened and that starts with looking at the complete failure of the Senior Management private and public and cities including my own who have not been affected. To prevent Something Like that happening. The Health Officials in germanys Western State of north rhinewestphalia are conducting mass coronavirus testing after reimposing lockdown measures on hundreds of thousands of people the decision follows a major spike and factions at a processing the plant of germany also faces fresh outbreaks in other cities just as the Summer Holiday season gets underway. This is what it looks like when the coronavirus restrictions are back long lines that formed outside the Testing Facilities in the district of. The new restrictions here and in neighboring vive and off took effect at Midnight Mass testing follows a massive coronavirus outbreak at 10 years slaughterhouse where more than 1500 workers have contracted covert 19. Now some 600000 people are affected by the restrictions that are in place until next week at least. To me personally i want to get testy and do my part to find out about the situation and whether we are all infected or not. We want to travel to the very on saturday and the condition is to present a negative coronavirus test and that is our goal. Summer holidays are about to begin but officials in popular destinations like the various say that gluten slow residents are not welcome unless they show proof of testing negative for the virus neighboring country austria has gone even further targeting germanys most populous state as a whole. Our neighbor germany with its state of north and this failure has shown how quickly the situation can turn dramatically so we were there for forced to issue a level 5 travel warning for the state of what we hope of course that the situation there will quickly improve and that there wont be a further spread across germany. To secure. Overall numbers are still low in germany but the latest local outbreaks are causing concern the Meat Processing industry in particular is under pressure dial Living Conditions of the workers are blamed for the spread of the virus. 23 workers have tested positive at the visa home plant geminis biggest poultry plant testing of over 1000 workers got underway today. A reporter see faces in one of the towns under lockdown we asked him what hes hearing from authorities responding to this crisis so the good news from the district administrator today he said that out of 230 tests that they have the results back for 229. 00 were negative and one has to be redone he said that this shows that they have the situation under control that the 19 virus has only spread among the slaughterhouse workers who have been in quarantine for so several days and that the general public here has not been infected that only represents a small number of the tests that theyve done so far we were at the Testing Center this morning with really long lines and the medical workers there the Health Workers there said theyre testing at a very rapid rate of 100. 00 People Per Hour we actually talked to the doctor whos in charge of that program and heres what he told us. Dimensions and discipline yet people are very very disciplined and theyre standing in line everyone wears a mask and observes social distances and this month theyve accepted longer waiting times more the long lines show that theres a great need as well as a lot of fear and insecurity were trying to help and to provide answers whether someone is sick or not if you look at the numbers 229 negative tests out of 230 sounds like really good news but of course everybodys expecting the worst here because of what happened at the turn a slaughterhouse where every day that more tests were done more positive results that is infections were found in the population of slaughterhouse workers so when were dealing with a virus everybody seems to be insecure especially other states in germany who want to prevent that virus from coming to their state so they dont have to go through. North rhinewestphalia went through theres been some travel restrictions put on people from this area but thats also why there was so many hundreds of people in line today because they want to get their papers in order to show that they dont have the virus so they can go on their Summer Holidays. Or how effective have the media been covering the coronavirus pandemic w. s global media for begins today focusing on exactly that issue so heres a closer look at how some of the worlds most popular powerful leaders have tried to leverage Media Coverage for their own advantage a country overwhelmed by the coronavirus brazil struggles to cope with what has become the 2nd highest number of covert deaths in the world but even the more than 50000 deceased havent stopped populus president joe youre both from slamming lockdown measures flouting social distancing and refusing to wear a mask he has repeatedly attacked the media ridiculed with the press listening here i cant be comfortable you understand what im doing and what im not doing if the press were honest i would have no problem speaking to reporters but they are dishonest. Several prominent brazilian news organizations have seized reporting from outside of the president ial palace after facing insults and threats from both sonora supporters. The coronavirus has also fueled populism in the us the country currently leading the covert death count President Trump accuses the opposition and the press of misrepresenting his handling of the crisis and chinas role in the outbreak. You dont hear them talking about. Them to be specific covert 19. That then gets further and further away from china as opposed to calling it the chinese virus in india muslims are a frequent target of president modise divisive brand of politics the latest attack came when a mosque became a covert 1900 spot members of modis nationalist b j p party accused local muslims of deliberately spreading the virus youre going to india would have been free of coronavirus by now but these people have acted like suicide bombers these bombers should face the strictest possible legal actions they should be punished in a way that generations to follow will be too afraid to commit such crimes this year. Courses. Through the uncertainty of the pandemic many citizens are looking to their governments for guidance but in some hotspots where the virus has surged so have polarising views discrimination and attacks on the free press. Karim is an investigative journalist whos moderating some of the panels out there she has a virtual Global Media Forum which is looking at the role of forces during the Global Health emergency welcome hows the weather lising of the pandemic by populace leaders affected journalists ability to do their job. When i when i saw the report now it it makes you somehow angry because we as journalists already have hard conditions the way we work and when we try to investigate and to travel the word now with people and president s attacking us in this way its just worsening the conditions we are working in and you know our security and our credibility and this all means we have to work more we have to have much more energy we have to convince the people to talk to them because even here in germany when you when you want to report you hear the phrase you could put it which is like the liars or you are not telling the truth and when im in the middle east youre here its also so this all the whole atmosphere against journalists is just worsening the conditions for us to work and its simply about security on both credibility but we have to mention that being a journalist is a right to freedom of speech is a human right and debts why we have to continue working and doing our job so another effect of the pond to me because i hate advertising revenue hog and assures obvious housing revenue most Media Outlets depend on that do you think media can recover from this depending come. Thats a very hard question and its i think its too early to answer where. With the dependent make and i think i think we have to look for new ways of doing journalism i think that digital journalism would get more and more importance we have to reinvent some structures in journalism but to answer this question now i would say its too early there are challenges when you talk to journalists you know that there are challenges when you especially when you talk to freelance journalists you know that they are not being able to work as they used to before theres not a lot of work but its too early to to answer the whole question give us give us some time write a bill can in fact you so much. The philippines says it is investigating the links to a growing scandal involving german payments provide why a card the company suspected of accounting fraud and market manipulation its alleged that wild card inflated its accounts by claiming to hold nearly 2000000000 euros in the philippines money which it now seems may not exist or get more of the background to this scandal or why it matters in just a moment but 1st this report. Prosecutors in munich suspect former wild card boss marcus brown of inflating the companys Balance Sheet and revenues to make it appear stronger a more attractive for investors and customers british gas mask it isnt is a severity of the sentence will be dependent on how many cases there are for example we dont know how often these falsified accounts we used to obtain loans from other banks to the.

Wild card released a statement saying its management more police on the basis of further examination that there is a prevailing likelihood that 1900000000 euro supposedly on Bank Trust Accounts in the philippines did not exist. Its unclear though whos responsible. Were they defaulted by 3rd parties outside the company. Often people in Different Levels of management even and analysts say its shaping up to be germanys biggest accounting scandal in decades regulators admit mistakes have been made its a shame that Something Like that happened and that starts with looking at a complete failure of a Senior Management private and public and is including my own. Who have not been effective enough to prevent Something Like that happening. Brown has been released from custody after posting a 5000000 euro. Well lets go through this with stephen because they from the deadly business welcome stephenss lets start with the basics what does wakhan actually do. Really does has 2 basic businesses one is that issues prepaid cards a sort of has a banking side and so prepaid current card or debit card that you might use at a store every time that is used in transaction to get a fee from that really the bigger more business comes from Payment Transactions that is it serves as sort of the middleman between the merchants and a customer buying something without cash and this is a little hard to explain but basically its the handshake that between those 2 sides that guarantees both sides that it is a secure transaction to help these are pictures better wired hard began before the 1st dot com boom really in the porn and Gambling Industries had a lot of business there were merchants needed to be sure that the people on the other end of their Online Purchases which were still relatively new at that time were indeed who they said they were because for whatever reasons for clear reasons they may not want to to be very forthcoming with their identity and so it developed a knack for this kind of technology its portfolio grew and it grew into other things like smartphone payments biometric payments the kitchen outside of our studio here it has one of those smart refrigerators and what you pay with your thumbprint thats a wire card mechanism that does that so its branching out as you can see and its grown far from what it started out doing and these fraud allegations they center im 92000000000 euros that probably dont exist so how is this discovered and how can people be unsure about the existence of so much money its a head scratcher that doesnt really make sense to pretty much anyone right how do you miss 2000000000 euros its complicated but basically a lot of the business was coming from asia thats how wired card grew so fast and it had 3rd Party Companies that it was working with in certain countries they didnt have licenses itself to operate in this country. But it work through them and they would in turn take the revenues that they got from these payments transactions all the transaction fees that go to our card it would dump them into a separate accounts that was managed by a 3rd Party Manager that manager was a 1st in singapore and then later that manager referred the account to a new manager in the philippines why are cards that ok that sounds good there was some paperwork behind it they said sure that looks good and then it comes to did it turns out that basically there was no money in the philippines that the 2 Bank Accounts were supposed to open in that that paperwork pointed to werent there and that that paperwork now appears to be forged now there were a series of newspaper articles that have suggested strongly that the company knew about this that there were long warning 6 signals coming from these offices and that executives were a part of this so whether this is a case of rogue offices or something goes all the way to the top that is whats going to be sort of figured out in the in the days and weeks ok so ill go with this and i can decide whether this is this is this is a good news story obeid news good news in the alleged ford fraud was actually detected or bad news that it could have happened in the 1st place im still reading from 2000000000 euros i dont think theres any way this is good news philip mean this is this is a major fraud that financial regulators did not catch rights this is something that had to be exposed by journalists and short sellers that as people who looked at the stock from our cards it is overvalued because something fishy is going on and so the way financial regulars in germany actually responded to this when the Financial Times started 1st reporting there were irregularities financial regulators in germany said youre actually negatively affecting the stock price of wire cart and you might be working with short sellers who are trying to make money from a decreasing one of our stock so they went after the journalists right instead of actually taking a broader look at why or card and so thats why they have egg on their face and thats why you saw their chief in the piece just a moment ago saying we have to look at ourselves so theres going to be some reckoning also on the german regulation side so its not a good day for. Look at it from that aspect ries a essentially they were asleep at the wheel but this passed them by right there in charge of efforts to manipulate the market and they said those Financial Times articles which start to expose a lot of what now has come out to be true they said that was potentially an effort to manipulate the market by these journals in my boots with short sellers or we dont know and so they really sided with wire card so heres the thing you you outlined this list of ways in which this company that many people had never heard of until this scandal actually affects our daily lives as we make transactions were going to make more of those sorts of transactions as the internet just becomes how we do business so how worried should we be about what they are doing this missing money yeah i dont know i mean i would be careful about necessarily saying that because theres an end in imagery behind the Payment Systems around the Digital World that somehow that means that theres always something nefarious going on i think this may really speak to this company actually. Though wolf im not going to say thats one off but i mean i think this i think if you look at some of the articles that were written about some of the work that went into it it looks like this really is a company that has a lot of problems and so there are other Payment Processing companies out there there are some who would like to step in the gap in there are you know Companies Like visa master card pay pal things that you know that have been doing this for a long time and dont have the same issues their books have largely checked out audits have been checked off on Accounting Firms have said yes this looks good here the fact that this was a. A quarter of their Balance Sheet cant be accounted for thats massive this is not something happens every day ok so i probably shouldnt take my money im still here under the mattress not yet i will hold it for the filth going ok thank you we can talk about that so you can visit d. W. Business. A bed and jerrys ice cream is the latest in a growing list of Big Companies to withdraw their advertising from facebook but the company say theyll stay. Part of the ties of the social media platform in july the move follows calls by high ranking politicians and Rights Groups for advertisers to use their body as leverage to force facebook to take tough action against misinformation and hate speech that appears on. The reporter rebekka resumes can tell us more Rebecca Spiegel a week since we last heard of criticism from Mark Zuckerberg. Thats quite true its generally kind of regarding this issue is continuing on a theme here and as you mentioned theres a growing list of companies who are now boycotting. The popular fake facebook Popular Platform for advertising may include the popular outdoor brand north face patagonia is also among them and as you mentioned of course ben and jerrys ice cream have now joined the growing list essentially telling Mark Zuckerberg enough is enough theyre rising up against facebook for continuing to allow inflammatory rhetoric and misinformation thats fueling division and heights in the u. S. At a time at the moment when the u. S. Is going through such a time up he evil so its comments like one made by President Donald Trump posted late in may that many took to being an incitement to violence that is of course that when the looting starts the shooting starts which people there was an incitement of violence against black lives matter of protest is now just a bit of context twitter did take steps to make the same post on its website how to read and put a warning on it facebook didnt do the same thing and that led civil Rights Groups to launch the Campaign Stop hate to suppress that in a strongly worded statement they accused facebook of amplifying White Nationalist allowing incitement to violence and turning a blind eye to Voter Suppression now the campaign aims to hit facebook where it really hurts the most of course advertising which accounts for 99 percent of the platforms revenue so good. Very effective approach and with big names like north face and ben and jerrys joining could be very soon that we see a lot of other Companies Joining suit curser words face will say. Well essentially theyve responded the way Many Companies respond in situations such as this theyre trying money at the problem and hoping it goes away essentially among a few things theyve listed in a new blog post is that theyve said that they will invest more than a 1000000000. 00 to support black and suppliers and communities in the u. S. But to be fair theyve also announced a couple of other things new features on its platforms aimed at amplifying black voices and its committed to increasing the representation of people of color in leadership positions by 30 percent over the next 5 years these are of course all positive things but what they havent committed to is making sure that misinformation and divisive content such as that one by President Trump will not be tolerated on the platform and thats essentially what critics are calling for ok so theyve addressed everything except the problem is people identify why or why not why havent they addressed that. Well i mean theres of course that freedom of speech argument and thats something that has philosophized about publicly for years now hes always said that facebook should be an arbiter of truth but probably more telling about why theyre not willing to do anything would be to look at the facebooks average user they tend to be more conservative they tend to be older than say twitters for instance. According to facebooks own daughter analysis conservative outlets make up 6 of the top 10 political media pages in the u. S. And conservatives particularly those in washington have long said that social media is biased against them so while months may not personally agree with trumps comments and he has come out to say that he doesnt personally agree he may have realized that as long as trump is president facebook would be wise to keep the president happy rebecca was a secular.
