Well the stimulus negotiations are all too little support would lead to we are covering creating unnecessary hardship for households and businesses. That are not. Forward since it appears that many will undergo extended periods of unemployment there is likely to be a need for further support if you. Are still hurting. That. Day we look at the hot button issue that over guarantees donald trump the backing of christian evangelicals in the case swing state of ohio portion is such an important issue in our time and i cannot trust a president who believes that abortion is ok without the right to life we have nothing. To the day u. S. President donald trump has abruptly halted negotiations on a major coronavirus stimulus package for the u. S. Economy after congress failed to agree a price tag a day after returning to the. Right house to recover from his coverage 19 infection the president fired off a series of tweets accusing Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of failing to negotiate in good faith hes ordered talks to cease until after the election saying that he would pass a major stimulus bill immediately after he wins democrats immediately attacked the president for abandoning the American People amid the pandemic House Speaker nancy pelosi accused the white house of being in complete disarray and then all the sudden he found infected by the current ira think president in the hospital our president prayed for him and then today comes that yesterday comes down to hospital roots and turn. So you never know whats going to be coming next but i think that we say when thinking you may be using that term thinking loosely relates a President Trump appear to backtrack by trying to salvage some individual items of assistance including money and lines and another round of stimulus checks is white house chief of staff mark meadows obviously were looking at the potential for standalone bills theres about 10. 00 things that we agree on and if the speaker is willing to look at those things. On a piece by piece basis then were all willing to look at it so how does this latest on past leave the economy and us voters Kimberly Clausing is thole monday mela walter mitty professor of economics at reed college she joins us from Portland Oregon a welcome to d. W. Pretty covais the u. S. Economy looked like it was going gangbusters then coronavirus hit how bad is the damage. Yes its quite severe then one thing that weve seen across countries is the countries that have handled the virus better have had swifter recoveries and less of the downturn the us did not end of the virus well at all and as a result has disproportionate number of das but also a disproportionate number of people who are scared to go out and shop or to partake in the economy because the virus is still very active here so i think the Poor Public Health situation really made this downturn a lot worse and it would have been so should we expect jobs lost to the pandemic to return in time you know with time it will return and we have seen some improvement over the depth of this recession so far the Unemployment Rate is bounced back somewhat its still a lot higher than wed like it to be and weve got also seen that the trend of improvement has weakened the so while there was some strong improvement 2 months ago that more recent improvements have been much flatter so i think in order for the economy to really improve we need to get control over the virus and once that Public Health situation is solved that will help but in the meantime i think the congress and the central bank should continue to pursue stimulus and the Central Banks doing all that they can that Congress Really really needs to do more together force with the president to pass some stimulus legislation whether thats the stimulus is a really interesting way you talk history in broad terms the best way to recoat flow to the economy as diverse as the u. S. Pumping money into banks and businesses so putting stimulus checks into peoples bank accounts. Yes so in a way you need to do both you need to take care of the Financial System because that really is the lifeblood of the economy and central bank has done a nice job with learning disabilities and with making sure there is adequate at the quiddity i think what Congress Really ringback needs to focus on most in the us had it is focusing on consumers and workers who lost their jobs and also state local governments that dont have the ability to borrow the way the federal government does so what happens when the state local governments you know hit a recession is they have to lay off teachers and firefighters and all sorts of important Public Servants and that also contracts the economy and state local governments because then those people have less money to spend and so normally the federal government would step in and help out states and localities theres a little bit of that in the spring but we could use a lot more there are more assistance to the unemployed and now 28000000 americans either unemployed or waiting to enroll in Unemployment Insurance so thats thats a lot of people. And i was reading an estimate today that as much as hof americans age 55 and over to retire in poverty only of poverty. Yes so that one of the sad things about this pandemic is it sort of looked like the u. S. Economy was doing really well going into it but there still are some fundamental weaknesses that were really not address despite the Strong Economy so we started this recession with a big budget deficit not with but balanced we started this recession with a great deal of income inequality and with those at the bottom still being quite vulnerable with tens of millions of americans who dont even have Health Insurance right so what we need to do is really strengthen that social safety net to make sure to expand Health Insurer and rather than undermine the expansions weve seen so far and to make sure that those at the bottom are protected and have adequate you know health and nutrition and income to. To lead a successful working life and a successful retirement the parts that youre talking about i just finally ill not an issue of expanding the site and thats do you see any sign of either a push from congress so all the white house or indeed from from all of the votes of this for that to actually happen. Yes i think this is this coming election is going to be really crucial on all of these matters 1st in terms of getting coronavirus under control i think weve seen that the Current Administration is incapable of doing that so hopefully the new ministration should biden be elected hopefully that new a new administration will be much better at that also i think theres a lot of interest in strengthening the social safety net with democrats in congress i think the republicans are a little more reluctant there particularly with with Health Insurance that actually challenge the expansion of Health Insurance through the Affordable Care act to kind of when i go in the opposite direction but if the election turns out such that democrats have the senate and the house as well as the presidency they can move forward to make a stronger safety net and hopefully a stronger economy to ok thats clear thank you so much professor professor i came back. From college thank you my pleasure. Well with the present terms cover diagnosis to the Vice President ial debates has suddenly acquired a greater urgency Vice President mike pence and democratic challenger kamla harris will square off in the only debate at the university of utah in Salt Lake City the televised clash comes at a precarious moment for the trump Parents Campaign with questions still being asked about the state of the president s health and a covered outbreak of the white house cutting through the president s inner circle so far mike pence is tested negative but his potential exposure to the virus as many calling for him to quarantine which hes refusing to do come to harris who also tested negative this week has insisted on extra precautions for tonights debate plexiglas barriers have been installed on state between the candidates and the Debate Commission has limited the size of the audience they also say that anyone who doesnt wear a mask will be escorted out. Well tough line on hygiene and social distancing news in response to the 1st president ial debate Donald Trumps entire entourage removed that masks and refused to put them back on the president s coverage infection and the lack of information about his Current Health status have now thrown hes too many debates with joe biden into doubt. Their. Regular run of out now i dont know what is. Looking forward to being able to grade him but i get the protocol. I think you can go over your average day. Lets get more of this from d. W. Washington bureau chief in a spall whos in the key swing state of ohio welcome back in this set up tonights debate for us what do we expect from these 2 candidates. Well phil i think these 2 candidates couldnt be more different from each other theres mike pence on the one side these white men very conservative very traditional on the other hand there is camelot harris the 1st female Vice President ial candidate the daughter of immigrants the mother from india the father from my car this is what theyre really different and but they share the one goal they have 2 modes promote their candidate and convince their voters to go out and vote for donald trump or joe biden. Well the post of u. S. Vice president has famously been described as not being worth a bucket of spit but with the president just out of hospital still receiving treatment people are looking at mike pence much more closely. Absolutely absolutely i think not only because donald trump is ill he has caught the virus its also the pure age i think its fair to say that there have been never president ial or wise president s who were so close to become the next President Donald Trump is 74 years old and joe biden would be 78 years old if he would be elected and therefore he would be the oldest president ever to start his job. So this kind of puts some extra kind of attention to this president Vice President ial debate tonight and of course the best to the president sickness how much is that the president s allison the swirl of infection cutting through the white house affecting attitudes on both sides. So we are here in this battleground state ohio and ohio and had the chance to talk to all those democrats obviously our shaken by that in that regard that they would change the way they vote and it would have been to expect that some republicans might reconsider if they would still go with President Trump as far as we talked to them every single one said yes i will and why is that because many many republicans just are just a single issue voters some of them are evan jelly cols so watch our report who they are and why they matter so much christine mannering meets fellow activists they are all devoted to the cause kristin found inspiration in the bible which she takes this really. They are on their way to an Abortion Clinic to try to persuade women to keep their pregnancies. Ive been telling her make up 25 percent a few s. Voters most of them share a central goal to ban abortion. We are kind of the the last stop before that abortion we want to reach them one more time and so thats why were here its my duty to do what i can do here to persuade as many people to not have abortions as possible but ultimately thats in gods hands and one day they will have to give an answer to god. She and her fellow activists believe donald trump is as committed as they are to banning abortion abortion is such an important issue in our time and i cannot trust a president who believes that abortion is ok without the right to life we have nothing so if were taking away and its a wifes no one has right the right to life is so important and im seeing that from him and thats why i will be voting for him. Politics professor laura vinson from the university of indianapolis has been analyzing trumps supporters the evangelical vote was critical to Donald Trumps reelection theyve been essential part of his base since he began running in 2016 and even though sometimes the president is wavered on policy issues the evangelicals have never wavered on their support for him there is no generation gap in terms of the evangelical bloc you see this with Younger Voters obviously with older voters in their support as well and you dont see a difference in terms of age. Christina studying to be a nurse in her spare time shes already trying to save lives one way talking with people about abortion another way she says is by voting for trump theres a lot about donald trump that i dont like that i dont agree with but in the areas that he does promote truth and justice i pray that god would bless his administration heavenly father we thank you that you are of author of life and Prayer Office crucial support for her and her friends they are also praying for donald trump but he recovers and is relex it to fight with them against abortion. In this poll in ohio. The United States is seeing record job losses in a deadly pandemic right a. J. Its a potion still going to be such a huge issue. First summit is this is the only thing they care about for others its the Supreme Court as we know it donald trump tries to put in a successor. Late rb jeev before he might have to leave office and then sure for many it is the economy because more and more people like really feeling kind of the outcome of that they are losing their jobs furloughs turn into like permanent job losses they hardly know how to bring food on their tables they are they have to leave their houses so i think the this issue will become more and more important over the course of the next weeks. In this poll in ohio thank you. Many in france say they will push for a new sanctions against russia over the poisoning of prominent kremlin critic alexina valley in a joint Statement Today the german and French Foreign ministers said they had received no credible answers out of the attack on this in a family with a band agent and make use moscow of involvement and responsibility russia denies any connection to the case thanks in a valley spent just over a month after he was medically evacuated to germany. Political correspondent simon young has more on the sanctions and whom they might target. Germany and france have said that they are jointly seeking sanctions against russian nationals because they believe that russia has not done enough to help clear up and explain what happened in the poisoning of a lets say nevada on a and theyre going to take this forward now in the next few days they say putting suggestions of what names should be on that list only a handful we believe of individuals but they will be individuals. Who are identified as having a function which makes them responsible for involvement in the crime thats how its been formulated also probably sanctions will be placed on an institution involved in the production of the novacek poison and these suggestions will be put to the of the e. U. Member states and it will then be for them to decide whether the e. U. Imposes these sanctions on moscow. So i mean you are now to another case straining relations between moscow the 1st day of the trial of an alleged russian hitman adjourned in the german capital the 55 year old is accused of shooting a former chechen commander in a park in may last year on the orders of the kremlin the case the grip popular imagination here in germany. Welcome to the capital of spice the German Spy Museum in berlin recently edited the socal 2 got murdered to its exits the man in the advertisement is still at a contract killer but in classical. This case has all the ingredients of a political thriller in august of last year the russian citizen to fight in crises of travelled from moscow via paris and torso to berlin under false identity. Of this alleged to have a porsche victim on a bicycle in a small park in berlin the victim was a cheech and exile seeking asylum in germany he was killed with 3 gunshots from close range. Chris sick of then allegedly threw his gun and bicycle into the kneebone river and tried to escape but was caught shortly afterwards he was arrested and has been silent ever since. But thats a special situation that in this case we have the suspect we have the person who is accused of murder so we have evidence we have the fingerprints we have pictures if you compare it was a screen or was a not only case we didnt have any person that we can question so i think this is sort of quite you need to do a show right now according to investigators state on creswick of smallville fun indicates that the crime was carefully planned they say they have found links to the russian that runs association of the Domestic Intelligence service if they speak which several investigative journalists believe is just a cover. We can see that that in classical for killer started visiting f. S. B. Training centers because earlier spring 2019 security. Employees are prepared for special operations there. As the day of the murder approached he communicated more and more often with the f. S. B. Employees. Towards the end it was almost every day. The victim iselin 100 had fought on the side of the rebels in the 2nd set or moscow had designated him a terrorist. This man was on our wanted list hes a fighter a cruel and bloodthirsty person. The kremlin denies any responsibility for the attack non of germanys 17 inquiries received a response it must to request full Legal Assistance were answered in the adequately say the German Authorities there in stone towards moscow is sharpening. De botton. The federal government reserves the right to take further measures in this case before. The German Federal prosecutor may have brought charges against that in christ but politically just says that in reality the russian state is in the dark. Or france has reported more than 18000. 00 new cover 19 infections the highest one day increase since the pandemic reached the country at the start of the year with origins of also reporting 18 more deaths from the disease france impose one of the one of europes strictest lockdowns in spring and the sense ramped up testing all bars and restaurants in the capital now have to close at 10 pm but that hasnt stopped the onset of a 2nd wave. And here in germany the daily number of new corona virus infections has risen to its highest since the end of april was 2800 in the past 24 hours a surge in the capital berlin has forced the city to impose new curfews on bars and cafes as well as stricter rules for gathering in groups the w. s are until to has been out on the streets of berlin to gauge reaction. Welcome to germanys new flashpoint. After months of staving off the worst of the pandemic the german capital has become the front line in the countrys fight against the. Half of all of germanys high risk areas are located here in this city including the district of. Gatherings with little sign of social distancing are a common sight here most of the new infections are among young people under the age of 30 theyre more likely to be infection but the disease is spread is also picking up pace among the old forcing berlin City Government to take action there introducing new restrictions from saturday compelling bars and stores to close at 11 and limiting alcohol sales as well as the size of private gatherings not everyone supports the changes. Yes you can just say much its a hard question i think its actually. A long but you have to maintain social distancing and i think as long as people do that it shouldnt be a problem to sit in the bar until late at night. I think the same i think everyone can keep themselves in check regardless of how much alcohol they drink at least i can keep a grip on myself so i dont understand why others cant do that. And. Many support the new measures. You need to balance your own sensibilities against a virus that puts others lives at risk you can feel the. Case i think the measures are justified the. System is flashing red and thats forced the government to take action people weve spoken to say they support the restrictions but still the spread of the here in the german capital.

President has been free of covered 900 symptoms for at least 24 hours mr trump is back at work in the oval office after being hospitalized with the virus last week since his return to the white house on monday hes been making his presence felt on social media with a barrel of tweets criticizing his democratic rivals floating false figures about the pandemic meanwhile Vice President ial candidates are preparing to battle it out in a debate tonight well mr trumps challenger joe bidens come pain has that taken him to the he started town of gettysburg. The site of one of the bloodiest battles in the us civil will thank you all for being here used as the backdrop for joe bidens cool thing unity thank you thank today once again we are a house divided that my friends can no longer be we are facing too many crises we have too much work to do. We have to Brighter Future to have a bit shipwrecked on the shoals of anger and hate and division. It is president ial opponent appears to delight in division donald trump may still be recovering from covert 19 but hes refused to let that stop play in a series of tweets about talks with democrats over Coronavirus Relief legislation the president declared i have instructed my representatives to stop negotiating until after the election. It all adds to a sense of chaos in the white house trance team trying to keep his Reelection Campaign on track while the corona virus continues to spread. Here with the president s Senior Adviser in chief speechwriter Stephen Miller just the latest to test positive. Trump continues to play down the virus even after his 3 days in hospital. Joe biden says he wont debate the president if hes still infected well. I think if we do our job or we have a very. Good trump insist there face to face next week well go ahead Division Even here and yet this show goes on straight to washington led where were joined. By to welcome so where are we on the state of the president s health what do we know what dont we. Well thats an excellent question so we know that he is back in the white house and according to his doctors he is working perfectly fine he has no symptoms you know this whole ordeal not just the past day or so when hes been back in the white house but throughout the weekend when he was in the hospital really has been to show strength to show that hes working through it hes continuing his work that its not a big deal that hes got it under control and everythings going to be just fine even the show that we saw when you returned to the white house with the lights and the cameras and him taking off his mask on the balcony was really to show that yes hes back and everythings going to be fine but of course there are big question marks as to the reliability of the information thats coming out of the white house lets remember that this is an administration that has not been forthcoming and sometimes extremely inaccurate with the type of information that they put out about the president s health and about the risks of kovac throughout this pandemic so now of course we have to sit back and think well what really can we surmise we know that his doctor when he was released from the hospital said he might not be out of the woods yet he refused to say when the president s last negative test was and weve heard from the New York Times that the president is not being tested every day so lets move on to tonights debate given the state of the president so much Vice President ial debate is likely to be watched particularly closely what do Vice President mike pence and democratic nominee komla obvious have to achieve tonight. Whether their goals are seemingly simple they have to make themselves look good they have to make their parties look good and they have to make their candidates look good most importantly now pence is a career politician he is very smooth and hes often seen as the antidote to trump in many ways he is there to smooth over the president s more rough edges especially after the show was a rough debate that happened last week harris has a trickier task she has to try to pin a lot of the failings of the Trump Administration on pants and that is going to be all about covert particularly because pence is the head of the task force in the Trump Administration now i should also add that both of these folks are going to be watched particularly closely because their candidates are elderly donald trump the 74. 00 joe biden is 77. 00 and if biden harris were to win the election in november a lot of people are looking at harris as a president in waiting of sorts so there is going to be particularly a lot of pressure on her to deliver her signature a prosecutorial style that weve seen a lot in the senate could talk or do you think if thats a much wider washington.

Then a different section of d. N. A. Can be inserted. What i think is is what is the most interesting and fascinating about this discovery is that you you dig into the nature and you try to understand that trying to make his arms over life and you and decipher and make an ism that you can really use and harness for the copper so.

Another tweet another Market Reaction wall street encouraged after u. S. President Donald Trump Backed off the way for new coronavirus aid and demand standalone deals for the airlines and Small Business. Also on the show South Africans hit the streets theyre angry about jobs and corruption times are already tough before the pandemic now many say the situation is becoming unbearable. And will take you to south korea which has turned itself into a global hub for a lecture mobility. Welcome to the show im Stephen Beers in berlin its good to have you with us we begin in the u. S. Where wall street has bounced back from tuesdays late session slump following president Donald Trumps renewed interest in corona virus 8 the dow closing almost 2 percent up wednesday after trump later demanded immediate approval for 25000000000. 00 to support airlines and a further 135000000000. 00 for Small Business both items were already part of a comprehensive package being negotiated with democrats until the president abruptly ended those talks which we dont tuesday that in turn led markets to tumble. And for more on this we go to our financial correspondent in new york yes. Good to see you mark it seems reassured today but can the president can democrats republicans really deliver on these measures that hes demanding. Well that is pretty tough to imagine because look what happened in the past couple of weeks and then see pelosi of the leader of the democrats and the house of representatives and the finance minister or the head of the treasury Stephen Knutson were negotiating for weeks and then all of a sudden the president comes out of the hospital and says we either do it this way all we dont do it at all so maybe they can agree on an aid package for allans in the amount of 25000000000. 00 even if that is not certain we clearly saw. Gaining quite a bit in the wednesday session the Dow Jones Industrial average was up by more than 500 points almost 2 percent the best day since mid july but im really not that certain that its realistic to get it definitely not a biggish deal but maybe also not a couple of small teams of deals done before november 3rd aryans when asked yesterday about a Congressional Panel releasing a report on big tech that includes Companies Like facebook amazon and pointing out what it called unfair competition and today those companies didnt really seem fazed in terms of their stock value does this mean that investors dont really see a danger to them. Definitely it might take some time before you really would make changes to trust the loss of this cease to be seems to be a bipartisan agreement that something has to be done if you look at the history of antitrust lawsuit in the United States they havent really changed in the part of a couple in the past decade the 2 main is that you would say actually were pos in 80 and 90 and in 1914 so thats quite some time the goal there is talk that there should be something as weve seen in the financial industry the class the like from 19 to 33 is what theyre calling it the glass steagall at 4 x. For the internet so something might happen but probably not anytime soon and then it also depends on how the elections will actually play out not just who will be the president but also how the majority might change in congress so at least for now the Big Tech Companies and the investors do not seem to be too varied yet. With the latest from new york thank you. And we go over to south africa now an emerging economy that in recent years has struggled to find its footing rising state slow growth and failing infrastructure have frustrated South Africans corruption too and that was before the pandemic now the pictures even bleaker and the mood among workers souring. This is how it looks like when south africas largest trade Union Federation organized this as a protest during the times of pandemic almost 2000000 members were to either just stay at home or go out and join pickets and motorcades like this one here in cape town the happening throughout the country yes.
