France and germany are jointly proposing a relief fund worth over 540000000000. 00 to help europe recover from the pandemic their leaders held a Video Conference to discuss the initiative on monday the repos all suggest the block bar the funds together there have been differences in europe over how to push forward with an Economic Relief plan. Across find out how to live for us in paris and to just tell us more about this proposal. Or the german chancellor and french president said that this Recovery Plan this Recovery Fund would be used to try and help economic sectors in the European Union that have been badly hit by the coronavirus a pandemic you would also be used to help some Member States countries and regions of the opinion that have really been struggling economically of the last few weeks and will do for weeks and months to come now the german chancellor and french president said that this plan would be the money would be taken from the Financial Markets it would be paid back after the next budget either from the budget off a Member States budget thats yet to be confirmed but either way this was a question they said of showing solidarity to all e. U. Member states and what for president micro had said a few weeks back was if the European Union failed to come to the assistance of all the u. Member states to share unity as a time of such crisis than the e. U. Is very survival could be at stake because it could be so anti e. U. Sentiment is fueled in some countries that feel that they are being let down by the European Union it could also put the future of the euro zone at stake so we have the chancellor and the french president both at least agreeing that what is needed is a plan on paper but whats important to know is that even though these 2 leaders can suggest such a plan to the European Union to brussels if you like it is not for them to actually put this into action that will be something that brussels will have to do and it has there been any reaction to this proposal so far. Well the Global Stock Markets have surged on the news of this proposal so obviously its being seen very positively or in the financial world weve also heard from several even leaders including the head of the e. U. Council and the commission who both welcomed this plan and say that is very much in line with the way that they use already thinking when they when it comes to Recovery Plans the thing is over the past few weeks there were so many differences between Member States as to exactly how they are going to Fund Recovery of the European Union after such a pandemic it does seem though that perhaps some progress has been made again the chancellor of germany and the french president both saying look you know france and germany are really the drivers the motors of europe theyre seeing perhaps themselves as the drivers of this policy thank you for that the thought about living a life from paris in big is a professor ial Research Fellow at the London School of economics European Institute he joins us on skype from london i guess 1st off what do you make of this plan well its certainly significant theres been vacillation going on for several weeks now european level about trying to agree of a Recovery Fund of some description and so far all its been done by the european level is to create new loan instruments where this new fund differs if it goes ahead as france and germany propose is that it will give direct grants to regions and sectors which are in difficulty and now its Game Changing because it means that theres the possibility of a region of italy or a regional spain or an industry receiving actual cash and not having to repay it to a neighbor to recover from a covert 19 locked up. Its not yet a done deal and it will face several obstacles because broadly speaking Northern Europe has been against such a fund and Southern Europe has been horrid friend sits on the borderline between north and south germany tradition has been very reluctant to engage in this kind of spending it seems knows who agreed that it will be up to the germans and the french to persuade their partners in particular the dutch the finns and the scandinavians that this is something thats worth doing. How is this different i guess is is my question how is this different from the corona balls which were floated and obviously spain and if they were very came for that to go ahead but how is this what were hearing from the french or the germans how is this different well its in some ways its similar because the idea is that the european level as a whole will borrow to enable more spending to take place so be public spending funded but borrowing what is not though is a creation of a new program in your opponents a temporary fund which will only take place for however long its needed maybe 5 or 6 years is not very clear in that particular set of details and what we expect more from the European Commission next week but it is not boring like t. Bone is boring which has been in place since the late 18th century this is a temporary fund its quite a difficult one to onset but is this enough of a kick start for europe post pandemic. Well anything helps and this is on a big enough scale to be significant whats not clear from the proposal so far hes how many years it will be spread over it could be that expensive or 4 or 5 years in which case it goes down to roughly 100000000. 00 euro 100000000000. 00 euros a year and in economic terms thats helpful but not enormous 500000000000. 00 euros 540000000000. 00 is quite a lot relative to you g. D. P. Its about 3 percent so that is on par with whats being done in many other countries and its in addition to whats being done to country level in the e. U. So yes it would be quite Game Changing if it were spent quickly it was father of 5 years clearly much less thank you for your time your analysis and big there from the London School of economics european history the response to covered 19 is becoming increasingly political with calls for an inquiry into how its been handled well twilight chinese president xi jinping has defended his countrys response is open and transparent during an annual Health Conference run by the World Health Organization a beijing has been facing growing criticism and diplomatic editor james bay says will. Its a time when countries have been concentrating on their National Responses to the virus and with tensions between china and the u. S. Growing the un secretary general sounded frustrated his video link from new york to geneva wasnt working well but delegates heard him condemn the lack of Global Cooperation result one of you does express your the severity may have some talk of solidarity but very little unity in our response to cope with 19 countries have followed different sometimes contradictory strategies and we are all paying a high price for this many countries have ignored the recommendations of the World Health Organization as a result the virus has spread throughout the world and is now heading towards southern countries where it could have even more devastating effect and we risk new peaks and waves many nations want a full inquiry into the response to the virus including its origins in the city of. The issue has become increasingly politicized with President Trump suggesting it may have been manmade in his address chinas president xi supported the idea of an inquiry but with very clear limits. That china supports the idea of a comprehensive review of the Global Response to cover 19 so that its brought under control to collect experiences and address deficiencies but he wants the World Health Organization up in charge of any inquiry and its the w. H. O. Under its leader dr ted ross thats been condemned by the trumpet ministration for its poor response and in particular being too close to china in an apparent attempt to conceal this outbreak at least one member state made a mockery of their transparency obligations with tremendous cost for the entire world we saw that w. H. O. Failed at its core mission of information sharing and transparency when Member States do not act in good faith. This cannot ever happen again the status quo is intolerable w. H. O. Must change and it must become far more transparent and far more accountable what were seeing play out in geneva is likely to have reverberations around the world the growing antagonism between the u. S. And china is compounded by the fact that other major nations dont want to take sides because the 2 countries have so much economic clout and thats a recipe for global diplomatic deadlock james bowies aljazeera at the united nations.

The f. B. I. Says it has found evidence that a saudi kid it wasnt contact with the armed group al qaeda before he shot and killed 3 people on a u. S. Military base last year federal investigators found cell phone evidence which they say reveals mohammed saeed. Communicated with an al qaeda operative who encouraged the shooting u. S. Attorney general would be abbass technicians managed to unlock the phone to retrieve evidence off the apple declined to help the fans contained information previously unknown to us that definitively establishes ronnies significant ties to al qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula<\/a> not only before the attack but before he even the arrived in the United States<\/a> we now have a clear understanding of al show moranis associations and activities in the years months and days leading up to his attack protocol and is following developments from washington d. C. They really were trying to turn this into a press conference about the Technology Industry<\/a> they got a search warrant to search these 2 phones apple simply said no were not going to comply with that so this is been an ongoing fight between the Justice Department<\/a> and big tech in the United States<\/a> but i think some of the bigger things that they announced perhaps were in the finer details things like they launched an attack against an associate in yemen thats the 1st time weve heard of that wasnt successful exactly what kind of attack in later questioning they wouldnt say but they also went on to detail a very long relationship between al qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula<\/a> and mohamed ronnie saying that it went back to his far back as 2015 before he even tried to enter the saudi military this brings up a broader question about exactly what kind of vetting the u. S. Was doing after all thousands of people from across the country come to train with the u. S. Military to a pretty big program they said that there was vetting going on well now theyre saying that even while he was in the country for years from texas to florida and he was communicating by phone by Electronic Device<\/a> with people in gammon and nobody in the vast surveillance state seemed to have caught on to that. Major development in libya now its un recognized government says it has retaken control of the air base it was being used as one of our holy father tells headquarters in western libya lord but unmanly has more power but it. Was a moment of victory for Libyan Government<\/a> forces and another setback and if i have to fight has officials in tripoli say their forces have taken back other what base nittany is he is border it has been under have to us control since 2014 the bases within 50 kilometers of 3 towns the intense awana and its location has made it difficult the Government Forces<\/a> to find a secure area where they launch ground ines trikes to retake the base in early may the fighting resulted in heavy losses on both sides the military says the turning point came when it destroyed at least 2 at halftime russian aid and Defense Systems<\/a> to game changer in terms of the last year of teleprompters offensive. From now on tripoli and i think in that sense we have to understand how its changed the military calculus now have to have importance to russian Defense Systems<\/a> that are in recent days in order to safeguard or not frozen of value assets of the top down a little bitterly over this as a 2015 and back to the person civil war that was sparked by philip after in 2014 now its a Major Development<\/a> because it really alters the way in which water can continue his offensive on tripoli. To control of our base in 2014. Thats when he called on libyans to rise up against the u. N. Recognized government in tripoli since then hes used it for his headquarters for his forces in western libya. Have tars been launching strikes since april 2019 to support his offensive to seize control of the capital. An offensive thats killed more than a 1000 people have to continues to launch strikes in tripoli and its mitiga airport and 8 kilometers east of the city but he no longer has any air bases in the west while he still controls launch swathes of land and oil fields across eastern and southern libya the. Analysts say the recapture he. May tip the balance of power. Since it no longer has to defend the west and focus on the captain of the man the aljazeera.

Assembly lines are restarting for the 1st time since march when the Global Pandemic<\/a> shut down detroit and auto plants across the u. S. Except for a handful been made ventilators for the sickest virus patients we see a little bit in the last year or so. But we didnt expect the literal crisis all. That the exactly what happened just. Operating. For one potential worry a Global Supply<\/a> chain thats been slowed by the coronavirus mexico is still locked down but last week the government unveiled a plan that could see some auto parts makers open to supply detroit now that automakers are building again the question is in the worst market since the Great Depression<\/a> does anyone want to buy the cars theyre making across the u. S. Unsold cars by the thousands sit idle delaying the introduction of new models and in these belt tightening times competing with cheaper used cars got to my desk by comparable self any week weve got a Great Recession<\/a> i think up in terms of. Our case to get out the supply and demand why dealers are offering once in a lifetime. Incentives like 7 years of no interest loans with little progress so far whether you are laid off from. Cars very purchase from other people sometimes the start of something so comfortable and so you cannot buy our meeting. Until buyers return in force the production lines will reopen more slowly than they shut down and new cars will keep aging on american car lines. Lauren fix is an automotive analyst and c. E. O. Of automotive specs and that is an Automotive Consulting<\/a> business she joins us live from buffalo new york thanks for your time what immediate challenges are popping up now that the manufacturer is a starting to reopen im not just talking about how to keep work is safe but im thinking more about you know other issues. Sure the Biggest Issue<\/a> is going to be the supply chain because a lot of components come out of mexico or out of canada and even subassemblies if those subassemblies are not in place when theyre ready to start running production of course they have some in the plants went before they shut down this is going to be the biggest dilemma and we saw that not just in china and europe but were seeing that in mercedes who opened their plant a couple weeks ago and they now have to shut it down for a week in order to catch up with the supply chain no parts they cant build cars as weve been saying john has been reporting there in his piece you know on the one hand the economy is tanking people dont necessarily want to buy cars will feel like they can buy a car were also driving alone this how much can the industry absorb. Well the industry cant absorb that much there is some profit margin from past sales because we did have really good sales last year in the year before at 17000000 units now were looking at potentially maybe 10 or 11000000. 00 of course we cant predict with the rest of the year will hold we can only guess at this point but it looks like theres going to be some pent up demand some people do need vehicles and they are selling through Touchless Services<\/a> or with dealers that are working through email and curbside deliveries were also seeing that the used car market is a place that a lot of people are looking at and theres going to be about a 1000000 vehicles coming in to dealers in the next in this next this month than last month and those vehicles need to be sold and so theres going to be even more used cars on the market and so this could actually lower the price of used car values which might be a good value for consumers how is the industry having to adapt to these new times i saw toyotas here is presenting its products on a live stream of mine how is the industry changing. Well the industry is going to hybrid even though the gas prices are low were not sure if thats going to build up demand at all right now electric vehicles plug in vehicles are very low 2 percent and they just havent picked up especially if that manufacturer loses their incentive such as General Motors<\/a> or tesla but we are noticing that some manufacturers are holding off ford announced just before we went on air that theyre going to delay the mach which is their electric version of their s. U. V. Mustang and the bronco for 2 months in other words moving them to 2021 models so theyre going to see a lot of pushing forward and just sort of shortening the total amount of units built for 2020 thanks so much your time lauren fix there an automotive analyst time i am always has announced it will file for bankruptcy it had been seeking a 1800000000. 00 loan from the government which owns 51 percent of the company the airline is expected to conduct a sweeping restructure off its knees.

Elsewhere in the country barbershops and salons have also opened and the government announced that people will be allowed to travel in private vehicles and buses between states that agree to the move the latest easing of restrictions has led to traffic on the roads for the 1st time in months but while many people are now able to move around outside the situation remains the same for indias millions of Migrant Workers<\/a> whove been stranded and a still waiting at transport hubs trying to get home elizabeth pratham al jazeera new delhi. That is an indian author and journalist shes been on the road for the last 63 days covering the plight of Migrant Workers<\/a> she says the lockdown has had unintended consequences. What has happened here is that in the beginning when this lockdown was in polls despite the fact that make we talked we were going to be in a medical emergency instead what ended up happening is that were in the grip of a humanitarian crisis and in fargo its because when the country was not covered begin with policymakers did not think about an estimated 45000000 Migrant Workers<\/a> in india those are men and women and their children who have homes in the village that actually come to the city so what we saw was a panic mass exodus some are calling it the biggest mass exodus of human beings since the partition of india and initially there were attempts to keep the small cars where they were to say youre not allowed to move so they were not provided trains they were not provided buses because the talk was that they could not the social distancing of big crowds needs to get out but in that chaos what ended up happening was a factory shutdown these workers lost their lives a source of income many of them were on the brink of starvation and shola any of them and ive literally lost count ive now of all highly off the highway into an Indian States<\/a> and they have walked hundreds of kilometers on short troll rain without heat sometimes only with a packet of biscuits so as i said we started off battling what we thought would be a medical emergency and instead because of the plight of citizens of Migrant Workers<\/a> we are now in the grip of very very real humanitarian crisis.
