Is very successful it is tremendous business of the United States people were riveted by it and when you look at. The top to many of the toxins important. To remain single thing whatever it may be i just wish that they understood that they talk really does like to have an impact on our world today the United States has to be compensated well compensated because we are the ones that are make it possible. Coming up israel goes back into full lockdown following the surging coronavirus case since the new restrictions will be in force for 3 weeks. And everybodys and rates and theres a sense of confusion i feel it is a mistake it wasnt my pad it was no exit strategy from the last look down and now we enter another cycle of id say. Well the us is announced plans to ban the use of the chinese own to mobile apps and we chat citing National Security concerns a download in the apps in the u. S. Will be blocked that will be blocked from sunday with a full ban due in mid november imposed on the van service. The bans through executive orders that President Trump says to talks chinese owners could pass information about the absolute u. S. Uses to beijing however the ban might be called off if the white house allows a deal between tick tocks chinese owners and u. S. Investors. Goetia directs the platform accountability project at the Harvard Kennedy school as a Computer Scientist he served as a technology and Economic Policy advisor in the of barmah white house and a Public Policy advisor at facebook welcome to t w lets start with the basics trick talk a threat to u. S. National security. Its a difficult question but i think that it can be very well can be and. The implication is very clear that you have you have an application here in this case owned in part by by china. By a chinese entity which essentially collects a lot of information on users on a mass of users and many of those users are american and tens of millions dozens of millions of users are american and when you have one application that is collecting all that information on so many people are voting population. You can certainly have an impact on our National Security considerations because theres a thing. That. Actually you know i mean this is a social Media Company and many people asked this question you know this is this is kids dancing and singing along to their to their favorite songs and sharing that with their network over to town and thats what youve done hes come to be we have to remember what happened behind behind to. The application will collect a lot of information identifying information on a typical user not just your name but maybe other other forms of personally identifying information. Maybe youre dressed these kinds of things so they know where you are. Not only that they can collect certain other forms of information like youre engaged in on the platform your location and your your Friend Network these kinds of things through which the application can start the company by dance can start to develop influences behavior. Get all the information. Well information is power and knowledge is power and. Lets lets assume for a 2nd that the United States and china are political geopolitical adversaries. Not saying that they are or that they wont be in the future but lets just assume for a 2nd that they are and china now has all this information about exactly who the lets say a 100000000 american ticktock users are what their name is where they live and what kind of person they are that kind of information can really be used to target democratic process and more broadly kind of Economic Future of the United States in very much the way that we saw we signed the case of brush in 26 i think that i mean any evidence that this actually happened. Well i dont i dont think that theres any evidence that that in fact to talk sent is quite categorically. That we the company protect. Users information were not you know working in tandem with the Chinese Government in the ways that our american Current Administration is thinking and and there there is there is essentially no publicly available information public evidence. These kinds of implications that. Because the just working from the more dangerous if i think in quotes apps would be the but they take a web but people are sending all sorts of messages and. Pictures of their body parts to each other thats the sort of thing that obviously dangerous. Well you know i think i think theres a different kind of danger with that with dating apps for sure that there are you know when youre sharing such Sensitive Information over a dating application as you know who youre reaching out to and and. Perhaps sensitive images and messages over dating apps and lets say a Chinese Company or a chinese firm has access to that information that can be very sensitive to the individual in a very targeted way you know lets say for instance i was using these kinds of apps and sharing sensitive messages messages over dating apps. In that case i could be targeted individually but the kind of harm that were talking about in the case of ticktock is quite different certainly this targeted individual harm can arise but there is a there is also a broader. Democratic harm when one company kind of controls lots of information and it may well be associated with a government that is on its face adversarial with the Current Us Administration ok most of our focus and most of the media focuses is around a tick tock but when chatter is also pots of this spot always have told to talk us through why that is significant. Well you know i think i think many many experts have been suggesting that we chat is. Even more critical component to the to the Global Economy than tic toc is and i think there is theres a lot of. Theres a lot of reasons why you could try to suggest that which is in particular that you know china has this ban on many of the services that we that we can use a lot around the globe including facebook and google we chat is one of one of the few that that is originating from china and which enables communication from china to to other people around to people or you know other countries around the world thus enabling a lot of Economic Activity you know payments connected certainly social connections and Media Consumption and so on and so forth and i think thats in part the reason why people are suggesting many people are suggesting that we chat we chat and its more significant more substantial than the tick tock and because to talk is quote unquote just social media we chat is really very much in a lot of ways the more holistic internet experience including commerce. In china and connects china with the rest of the world in many ways ok thats thats very clear. Going back to take it doesnt look as though. The u. S. Patent. That it will go with this is oracle. However ticked off will still be owned by by dallas and the source code will still be owned by by downs that the Chinese Company so i dont understand why thats going to be more acceptable to the u. S. Government because that data pipeline if i put it that way its still going to be there is that. Absolutely and thats exactly why i think the Trump Administration has come forward with this preliminary judgment that the deal as it stands cannot go through i think it is worried that its worried about this 20 percent number. Percent of ownership by oracle and exactly the implications that youre drawing now that well if if the source code and if the Data Infrastructure behind. And by dent still has full purview pull ownership over that full rights to not intellectual property then nothing nothing technically will have changed from a National Security perspective for the United States and the Trump Administration at least on its face is on floor with this judgment. On that pretty ok so what weve got from you is that this the argument about it being a threat to the u. S. National security has some merit but people are looking at this and presuming the base is really about continuing to put pressure on china in this continuing spot does does that have merit that argument. Absolutely i think i think we would we would be leaving a lot on the table if we ignored the potential that. Some of the most powerful leaders in Silicon Valley could well be pushing the trumpet ministration to enforce this ban or at least talk about this ban in a way that it damages the potential to or Companies Like we chat in tictac to have an impact in the u. S. Economy and u. S. Digital economy more specifically you know. I think i think it its worth mentioning that facebook and google have attempted to enter china and have been banned from china and and have certainly tried to claim the Chinese Market in social media and search and other Consumer Internet markets have failed because of because of the Chinese Governments right ascension and i just i was want to pick up on that point about that facebook and google way it would have with had to talk to general manager in the u. S. Of a thats a pop asked tweeting today and she said this type of bad would be bad for the industry and she invited facebook and so they have to join and take talks challenged this is a moment she says to put aside the competition and focus on Core Principles like freedom of expression so can you see them getting involved in this fight with the u. S. Government. Then being. Lets save facebook can tick tock you know i i think in fact the message was replying to a facebook its. So you know this ban is bad we you know we should be we facebook believe that or at least i as an executive at facebook believe that this is this is something that should not happen and the u. S. Government children. And vanessa said well why dont you join our trade association why dont you want to push the u. S. Government. In this more more directly than just making a statement on twitter and i think that really highlights the competitive aspect here that a lot this is about about show or for facebook where on one side perhaps you know its ok the companies are ok with suggesting that you know we need free speech we cant have these kind of blocks. While on the other hand you know it its very much in favor of this ban to the extent that china continues to to block it. From some shit thats very clear thank you so much for talking us through that they pad from the Harvard Kennedy school. Pressure israel which is really imposing a full nationwide lockdown for 3 weeks. The jewish new year say its the only way to slow soaring Coronavirus Infections but its fear the new restrictions will devastate an economy that went into recession because of the 1st. Day in jerusalem shortly before festivities get underway its. The jewish new year but the streets are empty. The countrys 2nd lockdown has just begun and despite the Festive Season visits to relatives in other neighborhoods are banned israel has been registering around 6000 new covered cases a day in a country of 9000000 people thats a lot and it gives it one of the highest rates of infection in the world according to the Prime Minister Health Care Officials have to clear code red. In the last 2 days weve witnessed another alarming increase in morbidity and continued increase in the number of critically ill patients. Yes the made in light of the mortality rate as many of the experts have recommended we may have no choice but to tighten the guidelines. Many accuse netanyahu of ending the 1st lockdown to worley and in doing so setting up a 2nd wave of infections the crisis has hit the economy including Small Businesses across the country hard. It will hurt us because businesses continue to pay full rent no 1. 00 helps us with the extra expenses and the workers are home to 3 weeks of closure will be very significant for us whats up with that and you know they must i dont know if this closure will help or not we will know the results only after its over but if there is no change in the behavior of people then it isnt worth it this knock down is currently expected to last for 3 weeks meaning it will affect a number of major holidays thousands of Police Officers are being deployed to enforce the measures and the Prime Minister netanyahu has already said that if the situation worsens even tougher restrictions could be imposed. Correspondent joins us from jerusalem welcome how does the atmosphere at the start of this jewish new year compared with what you normally experience. Well i think it was a very quiet evening the lockdown started at 2 pm local time here in the afternoon and then you could see some people sort of coming back from shopping people are allowed to venture out about a kilometer from home and of course to go out to buy you know basic supplies its usually an evening for jewish israelis you know to come together families and friends to celebrate this evening together over dinner with various special plessy things as some people are reminded really of the 1st lockdown because then there was also a holiday the holiday of passover. When people also couldnt really come together more than you know in a smaller group. Of friends and some people told me no im not going to see my grandmother or my grandfather because you want to protect them as is have said defiantly you know i want to see friends and of course also for more religious people conservative people prayers will be more restricted gatherings are restricted in the open to 20 people and of course also in synagogue stare special restrictions in place so that people. Can practice social distancing but despite israel having one of the highest convert 19 infection rates in the world new lockdown is proving to be unpopular. Well absolutely i mean i think people do have mixed feelings about this because on the one hand theres a lot of anger and frustration that it had come to this you know mainly at the Decision Making process as well all along the way and people are saying maybe theres something should have been done earlier so to avoid a nationwide locked on but at the same time people are aware of course of the serious situation caseload of. Covert 19 patients is rising especially also in serious cases you know infection rates have been going up sharply in the past couple of weeks and people do know that measures have to be taken but they might not be happy about how they were taken. By situation all the more remarkable is that israel has gone from being one of the 1st and most successful countries to control the pandemic so this being the current high levels of infection what went wrong. Yeah absolutely im that has been discussed here also very much and i mean its not just one factor you have to look at i mean experts can mainly agree on that basically on one thing that there was no proper exit strategy the country went into lockdown in march and april and then you know cases went down the infection rate went down and then the economy it was quickly opened up there was a lot of focus on that because it was very very difficult for many people in Unemployment Rate went up very sharply and at the time the israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said to people now go out and support the local economy also schools were open very quickly and this is where the 1st classes the 1st cases then reappeared also missing was a really functioning track and tracing. A program that didnt work too well as well as also then the new government a lot of people as perceived as government as not functioning very well that there are a lot of political interests as well when decisions are being taken for example their crew on a task force suggested like a traffic light system that cities and neighborhoods which where with high infections would be classified as ragin would have to be put under local lockdown this didnt work out there was a lot of pushback from mainly the religious communities so at the end you know they could only agree on a night 10 curfew and that was basically not enough. Jerusalem sank you. It was the Opening Night for the bundesliga season here in germany with the reigning champions by a munich hosting shall come but it was an unusually low key affair found situated 2 sides on a last minute decision to keep the stadium empty because of rising Coronavirus Infections in munich despite the lack of an audience the bavarians put on i mean pressing show if he shot at 8 will be on the Upcoming Games this weekend expected to welcome some fans into the step. In the talk through the bun this may go recent with Kyle Mckinnon from date of the sport welcomed kyle whose decision was it to exclude fans from tonights game it was not the teams it was not the leagues it was not the federal government in berlin it was in fact local governments it was the burgermeister there of mayor the mayor of munich who came out and along with Health Officials came out and said we are going to halt this concept of bringing 7500 fans into 875000 fan seat stadium and he cited certain magic numbers that had been surpassed as far as the coronavirus was concerned and that prevented as far as he was concerned bringing those fans into the stands ok so but fans will be allowed for other games they will so far tomorrow saturday and sunday they will be allowed into 8 of the remaining 8 stadio that will be used only by air and so far has said no. As far as munich is concerned the other fans the other stadia have not the regions have not surpassed this magic number which was sort of brought together by the 16 regional governments and the federal government they decided that per 100000 regional inhabitants once you cross 35. 00 infections once you cross that number then you probably shouldnt. People in the stadium but byron for example in munich they had crossed into 47 from the city if you will so far is the intriguing thing here isnt it because you can you can make these arrangements and where were all going to turn up we buy our tickets and everything but then if the magic number is passed on its a lot well thats the theory thats the thats the red line allegedly but well see what sort of pressure is applied if they had 36 rather than 35 i mean it was easy you know community for 47 for example the bonus think it was the 1st major league to restart during the pandemic and now they will be the 1st to have fans back so im guessing the rest of the world who will be watching this quite play were watching very closely back in may when into restarted there will continue to be watching as we restart the season as they start the new season the n. F. L. The National Football league in the us has welcomed some fans into some stadia so thats already started and the bonus league is watching bear as to what they do just like the n. F. L. Is watching over at the punters league it will be a more significant number of stadia all the stadia are due to open basically to fans and how damaging has. The loss of gate receipts been a pretty big deal millions to some big big clubs they say theyre losing millions every every time around but i would say t. V. Revenues are more important thats why the his league i think especially was and was inclined to get going as soon as they could without fans in the stadium its just kind of amazing to see this said canaveral by the way had to have 3 goals tonight so it was a it was a it was an interesting game to watch from their side of point of view but so what is it with you that all know right now that how often is reacting to this well they are thrilled to have the chance side of munich to get back into the stadia and its interesting the temperament there were some friendly games that were played in berlin for example is there one is like a team that had a friendly match but in 5000 socially distance it was pretty interesting to watch how. Careful everyone was but at another game in dresden they you know they were people ripping off the masks and social distancing went to the window and you know what will happen here i think the Robert Koch Institute which you well know is the Johns Hopkins of of germany and keeping close track of these things they must have thought this was all crazy to put state put fans back in the system in 15 seconds having won i know theyd like to win the league again and they are a dominant team they are likely to win the league and they have a very good chance of creating a dynasty in fact and and take in the Champions League again if they if they if things go right comicon i think theyll do still thank you so much. I know that if i was ever the conversation continues online youll find us on twitter at a w. News of the day. Boy. Oh boy. Im going. To the point during the painting a clear position in the International Perspective such. Things are getting increasingly strange between the e. U. But in china of the 2 sides have been open to sign a landmark investment deal in reality though theyre hardly on speaking to them so why do you find out on to the point shortly. To the point of. The 90 minutes on d w. And you know yes yes were going to you and i last years german starts now remembering what im going to mount on and you never hard have. Surprised himself with what is possible to his medical training what a new sat and what. We talked to people who follows her along the way admirers and critics alike how is the worlds most powerful woman shaping public and joining us from eccles law stops. Sometimes since no. One connects people the stronger them in some respects the. Newly sunstroke village beach when. We celebrate the 30th anniversary of germanys regurgitation october 3rd on d w. I want to see whats going on the knowledge of the birds and then you know what got to go to fight it. The shark microscope that had been bent the fall it would come back to better and better over the years we were in the bad ol for example a 3rd of the viral infection about molecular detail and therefore it will also be possible to fight it much more easily by word to speculate about whats going on in 2050 i cant imagine that you will understand the cause of god much better and then reduce the number of cancer cases there is the opportunity to live a much more fulfilling life because many defeat in sort of being called the faith thing can be counteracted to a large degree yet because they are for a long a period of their life.

The countrys 2nd lockdown has just begun and despite the Festive Season visits to relatives in other neighborhoods are banned. Its really has been registering around 6000 you covered cases a day in a country of not 1000000 people thats a lot and it gives it one of the highest rates of infection. In the world according to the Prime Minister Health Care Officials have declared code red. In the last 2 days weve witnessed another alarming increase in morbidity and a continued increase in the number of critically ill patients. Well tonight in light of the mortality rate as many of the experts have recommended we may have no choice but to tighten the guidelines. Many accuse netanyahu of ending the 1st lockdown to worley and in doing so setting up a 2nd wave of infections the crisis hit the economy including Small Businesses across the country hard.

Lets take a look at some of the other developments in the Global Health emergency in the u. K. The Prime Minister Boris Johnson says a 2nd wave of the corona virus is now inevitable restrictions in parts of england have been tightened mr johnson says he wants to avoid a 2nd full scale lockdown spains introduced fresh curbs on travel in areas badly affected by a new surge in infections that currently has the highest number of cases in western europe and france is registered a record increase in coffee 1000 cases more than 13000 over the last day. Margaret harrison speaks for the World Health Organization i asked her why europe is seeing such a surge in cases yes we particularly concerned about the european situation about the Northern Hemisphere because as we know it with a note in hemisphere is about to end the colder months where its much harder to socially distance because people tend to crowd into smaller spaces to keep warm and we know that thats the worst thing you can do you need to keep your distance you need to avoid contact and you need to avoid being in crowded closed spaces with put into lation. Of course the hospitals tend to get overcrowded with other illnesses in the colder months so we are really saying no is the time to suppress the transmission people did tremendous went through a tremendous hardship going through the lockdowns unfortunately the message that seemed to be received was everythings over to normal now they say its no back to normal lending the new safe way to live with coronavirus and that opportunity was missed and the transmission began to rise in the middle of the european summer and it is now accelerating. From the World Health Organization not to bella ruse where activists say there have been at least 500 incidences of states torture United Nations Human Rights Council calling for free access for journalists the government of president Alexander Lukashenko has rejected the demand is interference in internal affairs hes now threatening to close the countrys borders with poland and the few ania.

Up with the piers if you will see if we were forced to strengthen our borders when those students were suited to go full datsun moved on youthful. Poland is considering sanctions against the rules the Lithuanian Foreign minister sees lucas and goes moves as pure desperation going i mean this is truly unnerving in the sense that this is an inadequate reaction to the situation by an inadequate personal but thats the only thing one can say all assessments and comments lead to this rational observation unfortunately this is the reality and one hopes very much that this will not lead to something unforeseen as well all of the models are seen.

N. Experts for an immediate end to the violence against demonstrators as in the last few weeks tens of thousands of people in belarus are again preparing to take to the streets against him. Brazils president jab also naro has been playing down the wildfires turnley raging through vast stretches of rain forest and wetlands and critics say his probusiness stance is in bold and people who destroyed the forest for mining and land clearance federal Police Suspect a farm has ignited a major fire which is now burning through the pond the planets largest wetland. For weeks now catastrophic forest fires have ravaged the pantano nature reserve destroying a unique ecosystem in the process. The director of the reserve has watched helplessly as more of the protected area burns each day. Last year alone 10000. 00 hectares of forest burnt to the ground this year its been 3 times that much its a huge loss. This area is one of the most bio diverse places in the world tourists flock here to see endangered animals in the wild like the terrible stork. And the jaguars. These are the worst fires the area has seen in over a decade further north fires are also raging in the amazon rain forest many of them started illegally to clear forest for farming the smoke from those fires has spread to cities with devastating effects for the health of locals but farmers know there are a few consequences for illegally starting fires brazils president jabil so narrow undermines protections. N. G. O. S get money from abroad but they dont have a chance fighting me ill continue to fight and kill this cancerous tumor that is the Environmental Protection agency. Bus a narrow dispatch the military to the amazon to help battle the fires the same military that carved roads through it and erected settlements during the military dictatorship from 1964 to 1985 critics fear brazils military could create a permanent presence in the rain forest. Therell be no militarization of the rain forest were just here in a logistical capacity for example our helicopters are used to battle the fires. Its likely that after the fires agriculture here will expand including more fields for products like soybeans and meat balance for the European Market thats why environmentalists are calling for even laws that would protect brazil against further deforestation every day the flames reach further and the area is in dire need of rain but none is expected for at least several weeks. Lets cross to brazil where we join a journalist a matinee parastatal welcome material based files and the patent and alan b. I was in rainforest have been boating for weeks despite the best efforts of the army and firefighters why. At 1st its really dry here we have an extreme dry season this year we are in the end of the dry season actually in most of the brazilian rain forest areas and yeah the 2nd there are the the fires didnt stop because they were set in september new fires were set to farmers did it in many places we saw and the firefighters just try to avoid the fires reach houses and villages in the Amazon Region so its really difficult for them to fight them and as you can see behind me this sort of smoke around us everywhere in this region on the nearby street if you go 120300 kilometers you can see a lot of smoke everywhere here in this Amazon Region of. Why are farmers setting fires then run out of control. They tried to gain land they tried to expand their cattle farm areas and everywhere in brazil because its a business which can be really good for them they exported they bring into the Big Companies which trade the meat everywhere in the world also to europe so theres a lot of benefit on this business so he tried to expand and in the plant not a region for example the drop is really really tough and its the worst in 40 years and the water level was much lower than it was in the last years so this drought is really a tragedy and it might be we already climate factor Scientists Say that the differentiation the amazonas might accelerate this process even more so because i dont quite understand youre saying that this is no practice for farmers to set base fires but they would normally expect them to be controlled but this time things are just got out of hand. There are a lot of fires from farmers to clean their land which are do not get out of control but yes thats the suppressors which has been seen in many years recently its common here as they say but its now as huge as never before him people say in the last 5 years these fires intensified in the smoke as you can see here is intense for many weeks so it affects the health of the People Living here so its really stronger than before lets see what i meant to say i bet and brazils power states thank you. On to sports and they are going the eyes of the blunders later and which by munich the time defending champions have already put themselves on top of the season in top of the league in the new season massive stadium was again without fans but it didnt seem to matter again shell just 4 minutes in the head thanks to russert cannot break he took the long pass from barry youre sure kimmage.

Only the farmer and one worker have access to the livestock the double entry system is designed to protect them from pathogens in particular the african swine fever virus until now illinois has made good money raising pigs but ever since a dead wild boar was discovered with the disease far away in the state of brandenburg the price of pork has dropped by 0. 20 per kilo gram the company you know you can calculate what it means for an average pig farmer here in the region with around 700. 00 to 800. 00 animals it can easily be a loss in value of 15220000 euros from one day to the next for the few months 400 kilometers to the east the older river had been considered a natural boundary that would prevent african swine fever from spreading additionally an electrified fence was set up to keep infected wild boar out of germany back in lower saxony more and more corn is being planted on a large scale which provides food and cover for the wild boar hunters are trying to keep the population down but its a time consuming process after 3 hours of stalking this hunter hasnt shot a single one of the there should be plenty around. As would somebody whos been on some of the op ak in 1980 for example with bags of 50 wild boar a year in forgotten last year was shot 541 more than 10 times as many others i havent seen from the outbreak of african swine fever has already had a drastic effect on pork exports Asian Countries have closed their markets to german poor up to now 10 percent of german exports have gone to china alone. For farmer year its unfair for all of germany to be included in the export ban the dead wild boar were found in the forest far away from his stall. He doesnt want to see all germanys pick farmers being lumped together. Youre going to divorce me we should be looking at farms close to the center of this epidemic it would make sense to restrict exports there but it doesnt make sense to apply these restrictions to all the farmers who are 400 to 500 kilometers away. All restraint. In those cant imagine the virus spreading from wild boar to the pigs on his farm for that he says the Safety Measures in his stalls are far too good. To argentina now where the pandemic has made economic recovery all but impossible amid fading trust in the argentine pezzo the government earlier this week further tightened currency controls but its making life for businesses especially hard. Tinas central bank has extended restrictions on foreign currency transactions and then effort to shore up dollar reserves individual dollar purchases are limited to 200. 00 per month. This is the logic of the economy we have built up we want an economy that no longer promotes speculation. But that wants the dollar to stop being a mechanism of speculation for some to hold this is a country where dollars a needed for production and then of the not excessive right that part of you know you see that. Exceptions are being made for companies but economists warn that they need to will suffer from the new rules many loan agreements a made in dollars how will businesses be able to repay them. The low point is that the central bank has no right to block businesses from honoring their financial obligations the central bank could say are not handing out dollars but let businesses turn to markets to find those dollars here the central bank is not only preventing them from honoring obligations they have abroad but restricting access to parallel of free markets which in my opinion is a legal go.
