Business the German Government says its looking at the highest set of instruments they could use in taking action against moscow of the poisoning of russian opposition leader. Chancellor Angela Merkel spokesman has underlines that she would not rule out consequences on the multibillion euro dont stream to pipeline project if moscow fails to thoroughly investigate the case he also says the german leader is open to all sanctions. The north stream to pipeline through the baltic sea means a lot to both parties for russia its a source of solid foreign currency for germany and other e. U. Countries its a major Energy Conduit but following the poisoning of russian opposition figurehead alexei no vaal me a crime blamed on my scout the German Government has for the 1st time considered halting construction of north stream to it wouldnt be the 1st time the e. U. Has levied sanctions against russia the number of cases in which countries impose sanctions on others is climbing accelerating rapidly from 2004 on besides russia the countrys most often targeted are iran and north korea the main pretext for such sanctions are violations of human rights and democratic procedures theyre also often aimed at preventing terrorism and war but how effective are sanctions added cheating their ams opinions are widely divided. We have fed is president of the killings the chief of the World Economy how certain are you that theyll be sanctions. Well. Because you know you threaten you fear is lose on the school so all these friends and if you can use right to be so the best sanctions of those. On with you would be foreclosing then there is already a change. d that really makes me question their effectiveness because russia is embarrassed is a shrugging this off moskos finances of youth is just too strong to be cracked it said that they have one of the strongest public Balance Sheets in the world so what are threats going to. So the question is what is can be done i mean you know if you look at the historical record the sanctions have one has to be really seriously going to further this sanctions imposed in the pas achieve what the intended to do so it is this is this is the russians are right if we want sanctions to be successful they need to be complete we need to have our coalition of countries impose sanctions not just in one sector or across the board effecting many sectors of thinking maybe the meters in russia but the polish department for do small things in. The pipeline project for example would only be a small element in the. Russian economy that would probably not do much to that sense of the interest as our right to use each talk about past experiences what about the experiences of the 2014 ukraine crisis 20 eighteens miller report and this cripple spy poisonings. We know all their actions have to be opposed and measured that those emissions have been costly in the sense that the after destroyed economic transactions the air cost growth of all starts in russia and in europe. So far as we will no longer be effect the in bringing about. Change the course of action of the creditor and you also talk about sanction options and sanctions what about that one sanction that could really make a huge difference making it illegal to own russian sovereign debts. Now this is to good that is the enlarged action but we would need to pull a coalition theres a lot of excess sitting around in the road so theres a lot of savings that seeking basements and we would need to brought. You know all ways of russia selling their bonds if its just europe that wouldnt be enough we would need the United States on board on this and probably also Asian Countries so i think theres no real alternative. To fueling your pollution and if we go to you sanctions and these need to be almost universal actions what sort of coalition whats the have realistic would it be getting the u. S. On board considering mr trumps relations with russia yeah youre absolutely right i dont know how realistic this is but i do know that without the u. S. On boards very difficult to impose sanctions and to make them effective in particular because of course the growth rate is the dollar without the u. S. Sanctions would be very difficult and we do see a large pollutions effect against characteristic that dual use it results of of the past experience large provisions you something but even if a country like germany were really be my refrigerator in this National Financial markets like the e. U. Go alone then the chances of success. Are sorry to see that not. A lie a president of the killings the chief of the World Economy thanks for being on the show. Youre welcome. Rio tinto c. E. O. Is resigning over the mining giants destruction of sacred aboriginal sites in Western Australia triggered a public outcry of the blowing up to an ancient caves to expand an iron ore mine they were described as priceless pieces of a strait in history and highly significant to the areas traditional loads shareholders in the company expressed concerns about executive accountability following the global mynahs limited initial response now the c. E. O. And 2 other top officials are quitting. My brother just as olin is also a journalist and joins us from sydney good to see there just at a time of tense Race Relations how on earth did rio tinto think blowing up sacred indigenous sites was a good idea well it certainly wasnt one of 3 of those finest moments the end you know the human habitation illustration that some 46000 years now to these headaches lining up my. Question to strategies to reach this is what it was all for my wife for a new Mining Operation which would benefit. You know 132000000. 00 you know not sit it out high right on the on out this has decided to traditional i miss the land cool widespread backlash sheryls and public in a strategy of rio de conduct an internal review in the way all of this is not that the company decided to cut the bonuses 3 its executives but of course the company then and say its money big bucks now today new developments.

Well. It was nice that they admitted that much josh thank you very much for joining us there with the latest on that developing story from sydney to the corner viruses gripping nigerias multibillion dollar Film Industry nollywood lockdowns and strict new Health Measures have been extending productions of blowing budgets theyre also changing the type of stories that can be told and how a correspondent funny for chart reports from lagos. Usually this place is buzzing the students dreaming of a career in the Film Industry its been closed for the past 6 months the huge nonsupport and the missoni a big name in nollywood who founded the school. A lot of sense of my income for what this. Problem i put a project for the t. V. Series the film in the cinema and the acting school. She still considers herself one of the lucky ones able to make money via streaming platforms but nollywood is changing making films now means preparing them with 19. 00 in mind we happily have kissing scenes anymore as a writes when im working i try to avoid a lot of the things im very little touch if there will be any at all so we try to write our scripts not to depict that but it could be boring but now we just dont have any other choice that almost sounds like nollywood is becoming a bit like bollywood back in the day so its no kissing policy so many streets here in lagos have served as a backdrop for films and t. V. Series made in nigeria. But fulfilling the dream of making it in this industry during a pandemic means you have to adapt smaller crews protective gear longer production times due to curfew was an ultimate lee more costs keep. Coming back no im actually. A rehearsal for a family series in lagos the setting the private home of the director. The cast his relatives on the set only people who are absolutely necessary. To use we can use real scenes in church we can feel we have scenes in some restaurants we can bring people together so thus this is really affected us so many things in this series had to be taken off the story and then retreat the story just feet in the situation subject like so many others has to rethink productions and costs now with the coral and iris in mind but with cinemas being closed there is also an opportunity for filmmakers he says this is actually signing for online streaming. Poor. Means that he might be bored if you dont have Quality Content to see so for me i through feel this is the right time to feed that the. Right time may say goodbye nice doing business with. Combating the corona pandemic. Where does research stand. What are scientists learning. Background information and news. Our corona. Covert 19 special on d w. How does a virus spread. Why do we. And when will. Trigger through the tax and weekly radio show is called spectrum if you like and information on the crown of virus or any other science topic you should really cool as close their doors in march has covered 19 swept around the globe. 6 months since have. Post unprecedented challenges students suddenly cut off from classmates and thrown into Remote Learning teachers navigating new technology and parents burdened with extra responsibilities. Some schools have chosen to keep holding their Classes Online other students and teachers are making a joyous return to their classrooms as a new school year begins. With a sailing im happy that the school is started and because i havent seen my friend and my teacher for a long time. Weve been locked in our houses and i forgot how the normal schooling looks thats quite an issue in the schools as a fundamental importance that theres nothing that can substitute schools so from our point of view this is a huge joy to reopen our gates to our 1200 pupils. But the reopening is also a major safety concern how to bring millions of children and teachers back into schools or keeping them safe from the virus. As some schools struggle to reopen to make up for lost time others remain completely empty the picture varies greatly between countries as our correspondents around the world can explain here in uganda as copy to come Public Schools remain closed what you see here is a reflection of whats happening across the country right from elementary level to University Level classes remain close the government is not sure what we need to reopen schools now especially with the rise in cases of course that may know many teachers of already lost their jobs while youre on the government tried to introduce lessons of radio and television but sustaining that became a challenge so many families however it did describe 2020 as the lost ark. Students are back in school throughout the whole of china including one where the epidemic has started. Students need to wear masks there are social distancing measures staggered schedules but otherwise schools are supposed to go back to their normal curriculum here in bay toward the capital of lebanon the covert 1000 pandemic is not the only crisis that faces the educational system right behind me as an exhibit of a school out of 160. 00 that were totally destroyed or damaged due to the. Explosion why the school year is only a few days away the destruction that was caused by the shock waves are the explosion aggravated the calamity on residents already suffering from an unprecedented economic crisis the German Government is ruling out a 2nd lockdown confident that the current testing tracing and tracking capacities will be enough to contain the current levels of corona outbreaks in the absence of a tangible Health Crisis and with the economy recovering faster than expected there is now an all out debate here in germany over whether the government wasnt too cautious in the 1st place a loud minority has been taking to the streets over this nationwide schools remain open but when it comes to the question which conditions like must apply that still regional patchwork. In march the kenyan government closed schools and colleges nationwide a certain measure that affected 17000000 learners across the country including among tribal communities as data when used interest reports. 2020 was the beginning of an exacting new chapter for vincent too Little High School but in mid march in response to call beginning to end the kenyan government closed all schools including Higher Education the measure disrupted the lives of nearly 17000000 students across the country for 16 year old to little its meant hiding his family cuttle out in the wild rather than post seeing an indication. Of what. Was really exerted to do in his school because i have never been to boarding school. But i was frustrated when i was told schools would be closed now i miss the interaction with students and sharing ideas with the school. Long Distance Learning cops and other challenges too little simply doesnt have enough time for studying. And i dont know its just wake up look after cut into something you know you can do cant concentrate when you try to study so much you fall asleep like that if you live on a day like the classroom would be your boss and students for children even more until the kenyan Government Council of the 2020 academy here due to the coronavirus but for these must Say Community one qualified teacher is all that they have. 22 year old danny my side he usually teaches near the tanzanian border but now he has taken to for the viewer in home. While you are living in a Community Like bees they no saw in saw is a teacher and we have to have the kids otherwise the kids will miss our old form crossed them all so. But experts believe theres a lot of walk to be done before schools can sift through the reopening kenya. I think the 1st point to really be training teachers once weve done the training then we need to look at our infrastructure for example if all building was able to accommodate a group of 20 goes how can we use its now to accommodate to less goes to a number of us do social distancing. For now schools remain closed for the foreseeable future. But its yet another day of hiding cuttle for too little counting down the days until hes able to resume his dream of an indication that perhaps over time could change his life so lets speak to david evans whos an economist with the center for Global Development david at these closures likely to have lasting effects for countries like kenya these are likely to have enormous implications for the students lives and for the country as a whole these kids arent learning a lot of them have parents whove lost work so the students are working and the longer theyre out of school the less likely they are to come back to school once they reopen i dont lessons especially will be working in the ask why do i have to go back to school and whats worse during the a bola crisis in sierra leone another example of a long Term School ClosureSchool Closures led to a sharp increase in adolescent pregnancy so these can really be devastating to students you have something we talked about earlier this week on the program that i limiting the amount of encounters that children and young people have with the authorities can cause all sorts of problems we talk about africa that globally children are missing out on education all over the worlds. Its absolutely true at the height of the epidemic more than 1500000000 students around the world are out of school its an unimaginable number and even though some are coming back now there are many that still remain out a lot of kids dont have access to Good Information Technology in low and middle Income Countries fewer than a quarter of homes have access to the internet and so imagining delivering effective Online Learning effective Distance Learning is just impossible and the kids who lack access the most of course are the most vulnerable kids in the 1st place so should countries be rushing to reopen schools even though there is always that risk that children are going to go home and theyre going to get coronavirus to an older more vulnerable person. Countries need to keep children and teachers safe but Primary School children are the least able to learn remotely and so getting them back to School Safely needs to be the highest priority and furthermore what countries like kenya and others need to do is when these students come back invest in special efforts to make sure the most vulnerable kids make it back to the classroom and are able to have a catch up so they can get back on track so that there are starting a whole year behind have you seen any approaches around the world well as to the reassuring of schools they have thought yes theyre getting that right so relatively few countries e
