Messi are back in Team Training top european football leagues want to follow the lead of germanys going to sleep by kicking off their own action after 2 months on the sidelines. Im Claire Richardson welcome to the show the world to cut its daily Carbon Dioxide emissions by 17 percent at the peak of the pandemic shutdown last month a new study shows a huge reduction in global Greenhouse Gases for the moment lockdowns kept people home in places like california in the u. S. Where for a time of the roads were almost empty and the skies clearer than theyve been in years for a week in april the United States cut its Carbon Dioxide levels by about one 3rd the study says the worlds biggest emitter china sliced its Carbon Pollution by about a quarter. Well im joined by Robert Jackson he is a professor of earth system science at Stanford University in california and he is one of the authors of this study professor jackson we have now seen how it drastically and missions can be lowered but how long will this lasts mean honestly it probably wont last too long unless the recession lingers for for multiple years in the past when when an economic crisis happens emissions are typically jumped back up within a year or 2 and in this case is different this is really unprecedented decline both in sort of human mobility and in Greenhouse Gas emissions so were in a were in a new new spot. And in this unprecedented decline and do you think theres some opportunity here to change long term thinking or is that just a dream. Now its not a dream its a hope i think one thing that the virus is allowing us to do is rethink mobility and transportation. You know cities are keeping streets closed to cars that they have allowed pedestrians and bicyclists to use were all getting used to telecommuting and maybe want to continue that at least a few days a week and nobody misses spending time in rush hour and finally i guess that the biggest change weve seen is the beautiful blue skies that have come from from putting our cars on the street and garages and and and if we can have that every day by coupling electric vehicles with clean energy whats not to like we dont even have to shelter a home where some scientists are saying that c o 2 emissions a might be even higher when countries do go back to full time production can you explain to us why that is. Well sometimes weve seen that in the past in the financial crisis of 2008 for instance emissions went down in 2009 about a percent and a half but then in 2010 they jumped back up almost 5 percent and once the economy started to crank along again and really go go back to work if we do nothing except go back to the way we were doing business and then emissions rise again so we really we need to change our our Energy System rather than relying on forcing people to stay home to reduce emissions thats not sustainable what is the best way to tackle Climate Change while at the same time protecting the economy and industries from potential loss as. We have to put people back to work obviously a in in 2010 ish when stimulus funding was was being used to to promote wind and solar that had lasting benefits for this decade were still reaping those benefits now with record low prices and wind and solar and i hope that we apply the same logic to mobility in transportation by electrifying our vehicles investing in clean energy there are millions of people around the world millions of new jobs being created every year in Energy Efficiency clean energy so these industries can both help the environment and climate and put people back to work thats where to invest professor Robert Jackson at Stanford University thank you so much.

Germanys highest court has ruled that mass overseas surveillance by the German Intelligence Agency violates the constitution the basic law guarantees that germany will uphold privacy and Media Freedom a legal challenge was brought by 6 foreign journalists german prosecutors have dropped charges of market manipulation against 2 top volkswagen executives the carmaker agreed to pay 9000000. 00 euros to close the case against her but deuce and hines to show punch they were charged with withholding information about cheating emissions tests.

The more covert 19 cases the fewer new cars sold thats according to the latest figures from europes Car Manufacturers association a cea. Italy and spain lead the way with declines of over 97 percent and 96 percent respectively and france new vehicle registrations were down 90 percent. Germany fared slightly better minus 60 percent now that economies are loosening coronavirus restrictions we are expecting to see a rebound in auto sales throughout the rest of the year but these lingering concerns about a 2nd wave of infections and Consumer Anxiety about mass layoffs is likely to mean we wont see a full recovery for that sector for at least a year. The Auto Industry is a major employer in several European Countries especially germany where car makers say every 7 jobs be lead to the industry thats why auto giants like volkswagen are calling for state support to help boost car sales. In football the return of Germanys Bundesliga has prompted other european leagues to step up their preparations the English Premier League has been testing players and staff for the virus as teams began to train in small groups 6 people from 3 different clubs tested positive and will now self isolates italian and spanish sides are also getting up again.

But leagues including france have already scrapped this seasons and disadvantaged clubs of threatened litigation in the wake of the blunders leagues resumption the french government has defended the decision. It was important for me to give priority to the health and the psychological well being of the players rather than economic considerations which in other countries have indeed taken precedence. A deep clean is needed if europes biggest leagues are to salvage money spinning t. V. Deals they are making a step in the right direction.
