Well the world cut its daily Carbon Dioxide emissions by about 17 percent at the peak of the pandemic shutdown last month a new study shows a huge reduction in global Greenhouse Gases lockdowns give people at home a core of course in cities around the globe as roads were virtually empty the skies much clearer than theyve been in many years for one week in april the United States cut its Carbon Dioxide levels by a full 33 percent the study was published in the journal nature Climate Change the worlds biggest emitter china of its Carbon Pollution by about a quarter. One of the studys coauthors rob jackson of Stanford University told us that greenhouse emissions will return at some point to prepare endemic levels and he said that the crisis has also led to a change in thinking in a number of areas its a hoax i think one thing that the virus is allowing us to do is rethink mobility in transportation. Your cities are keeping streets closed to cars that they allow pedestrians and bicyclists to use were all getting used to telecommuting and may want to continue that at least a few days a week and nobody misses spending time in rush hour and finally i guess 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 home Rob Jackson Stanford University there stick a look now at some of the other stories making news today 11 people have been killed in 2 separate gun attacks in afghanistan in one gunman stormed a mosque in our want province the other attack in the easter eastern Coast Province targeted a family returning from a mosque the talibans denying any involvement socalled Islamic State has carried out similar attacks in the past months.

Oh voters in burundi are going to the polls in a crucial president ial election there that could see the 1st ever try to transfer of power in decades this comes after 5 years of Political Violence following the last election over accusations the result was unconstitutional the coronavirus could also pose a threat to voter turnout. Since 2005 but surprised by not seeking a 4th term has anointed successor ever reese and is an army general considered too close to the governments alleged crimes nor as someone who tried to stop them in other words a compromise candidate. I would like to tell you. Found no president has supported his successor because i too have never benefited from the support of my predecessors im aware. That sentiment reflects. His history in the transfer of political power. To the top in 2005 as the result of a peace deal that ended over a decade of civil war critics say his decision to run for another 5 year term in 2015 violated that deal the resulting violence cost at least 1200. 00 lives thats on top of hundreds of thousands of deaths from ethnic strife in the decades since he gained from belgium in 1062. 00 landlocked as one of africas smallest and poorest countries the World Bank Estimates that 75 percent of its 11000000 people live in poverty.

This is deja vu news live from berlin still to come on our show tonight. They made tomato soup as famous as well Jackie Kennedy and you find out how pop artist turned the ordinary into Cultural Icons that they knew for linux at. But 1st singapore prides itself as a high tech Global Business hub but the city state has little to boast when it comes to the Coronavirus Crisis as currently it currently has one of asias highest coping 1000. 00 infection rates still authorities are making plans to exit a partial lockdown anduin the 1st and theyre turning to technology to contain possible further outbreaks but some critics say their controversial approach has technical flaws and raises human rights issues and more. Painful spot ones to keep you healthy the robot enforcer dog is being trialled in a singapore park given the citys states tech friendly ways its no wonder singapore was also among the 1st to introduce a tracing app. Users of the app exchanged out of via bluetooth when their phones approach one another thats supposed to make tracing contact easier when someone is infected but so far only 27 percent of residents have downloaded the app some experts say the project is too ambitious. You need 60 percent or 80 percent of your population to download these apps even if they do work and so unfortunately this employee doesnt come close to that a need to have anywhere else and so so far they havent come close to delivering what was hoped for them surveillance is part of daily life in singapore data privacy is of less concern than elsewhere still fear of state snooping is one reason some residents have rejected the even if theyre reluctant to admit it and the technology is not perfect you know. And no no dont play. They dont know how to use the. Line. Why do you need to do that. So for me personally i being a. Poor system. So you dont. 2 months after rolling out the apps singapore is trying a simpler technology called safe entry whether at the supermarket the barber shop or the work place people can come in only after scanning a q. R. Code or their id card no exceptions. You could even use it in a public park if you wanted to get into the superbowl Botanical Gardens for instance you would have to log in and log out again just to prove who being there its not as ingenious as the app in as much as it its not going to tell you who has been close to one another safe entry therefore cannot replace the app experts disagree whether the app should become mandatory if you dont. But i think its about not wanting to. Exclude the citizen that the person they think in singapore. Exercise some feel will so despite appeals for unity there is little consensus in singapore over the tracing out. A lot of questions about free will and freedom there to unpack all of this were joined now by professor long the end of Singapore University of social Sciences Professor thanks so much for coming in today id like to focus 1st on on the safe entry app do you see people accepting a mandatory government to have on their phones in order to get into their workplace to shop for food to Access Basic Services well so eventually its not actually its a system that and the price that the business have them and and this is by law now that all these businesses that specially Small Business have to implement at the entry points and points at all they use it the mobile phone and scanning the court and that allows them to the basic data which is the name their telephone number and the National Registration number and the. Register persons point of entry and a kind of entry and exit exit so its no different from lets say someone entering a business and signed the release of the registration but this those means the government knows where i am all the time where im checking in where im checking out them i understand correctly. Yes the inform
