麻豆约拍

Five million residents of Australia's Melbourne have to stay home as coronavirus surges. Jason Murphy is an economist and freelance journalist based in Melbourne, and tells us about the impact of the move. Meanwhile in Kenya, President Uhuru Kenyatta has announced a phased reopening of the country from Covid-19 lockdown. The 麻豆约拍's Maggie Mutesi discusses the gradual easing of restrictions. Also in the programme, whilst official statistics suggest China's economy is rebounding from the country's coronavirus crisis earlier this year, our reporter visits a factory near China's eastern coast where the firm's American clients have disappeared, and the staff are barely hanging on. Plus, over the last 30 years, more than half the world's coral reefs have died. We have a report from the Great Barrier Reef off Queensland, Australia. Lauretta Burke from the World Resources Institute explains the economic effects of the decline in the world's coral reefs. And Sam Teicher, co-founder of Coral Vita describes his firm's process that involves heat and acidity in land based tanks, to grow coral with a high tolerance to climate change, at a rate 50 times faster than it grows in the wild.
