join me for me at the german sunday w. . post. this is deja vu news live from berlin and the u.s. bans nearly all travel from europe to fight the spread of the coronavirus president donald trump explains new infections in the u.s. on a lack of action in europe the restrictions will remain in force for 30 days. as italy struggles to contain its mass outbreak of the groan of virus a doctor there has this advice for the rest of the world. but most importantly prepare to glisten to go there and once you have spread that they

needed to change their behavior their need to reduce their social life. and hollywood giant behind bars former movie producer harvey weinstein is sentenced to 23 years in prison this is what justice looks like 20 plus 3 years sentenced weinstein had been convicted of rape and sexual assault in a case that gave momentum to the root me to movement. i'm sumitomo scott to thank you for joining us the european union is criticizing a decision by u.s. president donald trump to ban nearly all travel from europe to the united states that you commission says that decision was taken unilaterally and without consultation the ban will last for 30 days but excludes the u.k.

and ireland and a few other countries outside the shang and a passport free travel area or trunks of the european union not fail to act quickly enough to prevent the spread of the disease. until now the u.s. president had made light of the corona crisis but in a surprise statement donald trump announced new drastic measures fellow americans to keep new cases from entering our shores we will be suspending all travel from europe to the united states for the next 30 days the new rules will go into effect friday at midnight. the travel ban will affect $26.00 european countries but will exclude britain and ireland exemptions will be made for u.s. citizens. these spanish travelers at madrid airport are some of the last europeans to be allowed into the u.s. . but if the u.s.

have to take those measures let them take them we need to be prudent to careful but there's no need to get desperate for i mean not a thought but it affects me because i work in the u.s. i had to change my ticket and bring the trip forward because if not i would have found a border closed the new u.s. rules mark a sudden escalation and trump's response to the virus and they seem to catch u.s. allies and the markets off guard as well as making political waves there will be a huge blow to travelers and to airlines operating routes across the atlantic the tourism industry has already been hit hard by the virus as governments tighten restrictions and travelers think twice about whether to go on vacation in these uncertain times are trying to travel ban cut a lot of people by surprise here in europe let's go over to correspondent baron de rigueur she's standing by for us in brussels hi behrendt e.u. leaders have been holding an emergency meeting to discuss this decision from the

white house what's emerged from that meeting. the you commission and also the the 7 member states issued a statement saying that they disapprove of the server especially because there was no consultation no warning that this would come. the u.s. says the doesn't make sense because if this is a global virus and you cannot contain it by just for good people to travel and to comment on the allegations the president trying to make in his speech the spokes person of the commission only said we have more serious things to do than to deal with that. what does this u.s. travel ban mean for europeans but means that. travelers from 26 so-called schengen countries cannot travel to the u.s. these are not all e.u. member states for example roumania bulgaria island i'm not part of the schengen

zone so these citizens can travel but also switzerland and norway included in this ban and great britain is also not included but the commission says it's not quite clear how this will work in practice because they have no information how this travel been will be implemented does it concern only european carriers or does it concern american carriers also and you know there are many mixed carriers like united and loved ones ok of him and friends and the commission does not know how this was actually booked for starting on saturday morning were guard less it could be very difficult for the european economy bad so what is the e.u. doing to address that. yeah there will certainly be an impact. on the economy ok you can already see that this morning all the stock exchanges in europe down the track holders expect things to get worse obviously and the european central bank is

meeting today to come up with them countermeasures but the limitations because interest rates in europe already at 0.0 so the e.c.b. might decide to buy more government bonds or more company bones. but this is all very limited and the commission also established a fund to to ease the impact of coronavirus verse 25000000000 euros yesterday bear and you know there is frustration even anger over this travel ban but the w.h.o. is calling for drastic measures so is it time for the european union to consider similar travel restrictions there the european union as a whole is not convinced that travel bans are the right thing to do right now because already everybody has so what sense does a travel ban make right now but on the other hand you have to say that the us is

not the only continent doing that also israel india and just recently guatemala banning people from europe to travel to that territory and also within europe that travel bans in place for example austria and hungry to stop all travel from italy to their countries so this is a very mixed picture here all right t.j. he's banned record reporting there from brussels thank you. while italy has tightened restrictions to try to stop the spread of the virus after limiting freedom of movement nationwide the government is now ordering the closure of all shops except food stores and pharmacies they are hoping that these measures will eventually contain the disease and alleviate the pressure on hospitals the health system in the north of italy is struggling to come up. hospital beds and intensive care units at full capacity medical staff working around the clock especially in lumbered like at milan's psycho hospital at the moment and luckily none of our

nurses or doctors are in quarantine right now they're all working 12 hours a day to take care of our patients. with the flood of patients pushing italy's health care system to its limits prominent physicians have issued an urgent warning to the government. in only known i don't think we have the structures medical equipment doctors and nurses to cope with such a large number of sick people yet he sophie chain the bit of. the toll on the economy is also growing all shops have been ordered to close with the exception of supermarkets food stores and pharmacies. the economic level this is dramatic for us but we will make the necessary sacrifices. see the government has responded with an emergency aid package to support health care and businesses been a deliberate. we decided to allocate and intuitional 25000000000 euros to help

the country cope with the difficulties of this ongoing emergency. basis. it's money heavily into government can hardly afford. and we can speak now to dr jack kamaka sandy he's an anesthesiologist from the university of melanie's corden aiding the network of intensive care units in one party wrestling we know you're very busy at the moment thank you for joining us here on d w can you give us an idea of what the situation is in hospitals right back right now in. yes to give you an idea i can give you just some very simple numbers but before this crisis we had the longer the around massimo 800 i.c.u. bat level for people. since the start of the epidemics you saw in the last 20 days we have admitted to our i.c.u. were a total of more than 100 people of these let's say 120 have been discharged about

90 have died and the remaining around 700 are still there so from these numbers again you can understand how how big is the stress of the system so we've been able to increase our i.c.u. beds capacity by about 50 percent something that was a huge effort everyone we have reorganized our hospital network in order to centralize the time dependent diseases like for example trauma stroke in on the if you have ups and to to free space to to to have new units dedicated we have created a network of socialized called the 19 a units in several hospitals so until now we've been able to cope with these incredible amount of patients in a very short limited period of time but you know about ready to reach and modern regions already one of the richest richest region in europe and still really

struggling to to to to deal with this incredible as it tsunami of patients was investing us here we've heard reports of nurses of doctors working around the clock working past capacity to be able to treat enough people. we've also heard reports of nurses health care officials having to reach almost impossible decisions of deciding because there are so many sick people at the moment to treat who to treat and who they cannot is that true and who is reaching that choice well. that's a very important that's a very important point and there are a lot of politics now i need to leave but i have i want to make this very clear well in every day's life mr geologist when he's called to to see a critical patient has the day to take a decision whether i see a mission is proportional me for that patient condition i mean that we are meeting

for the i.c.u. on a patient who can benefit from i.c.u. admission and in the eyes of treatments and that if a patient cannot benefit because of a number of factors which is not only age of course but it's age is more with growing conditions and quality of life and so on if a patient does not benefit from i.c.u. admission he will not be admitted to the i.c.u. no matter how many free beds you have now we understand it's a really difficult situation they are facing right now a lot of people are looking to italy and saying with more than 10000 cases what is happened there i mean why has the virus spread so quickly there. it's very difficult to say. apparently here in rome but it happened something similar to what happened in one hand and probably the virus was was was around for at least has been around for at least one month a recognized and then something happened like

a super spread and that like started this fire which is very difficult to turn off and. clearly we are having a huge number of patients an increasing number of patients and what's different from what was reported from china is that the number of patients in the i.c.u. because you know work a serious police to 10 to 12 percent of the patients of the positive patients. me i see what mission although it's a less than 5 percent in the either trainees book relation so what they want to make very clear and they what they want to say to tell everyone in the world is that the solution for these is not. opening new beds and us feel bad or keep buying ventilators this is a solution for people who are already sick so the only way to avoid that this becomes a disaster and when i see disaster i mean hundreds of thousands of deaths the only

way to avoid these of the spread of this disease and this can be that we've seen all behavioral measures yeah so. you can increase your in your eyes here where as much as you can but again if you are invested by this tsunami your ideal date certain point will never be enough no matter how efficient modern said and particularly just just a cutting quickly there what you're saying there is your message to other countries that are facing what your region is facing right now is please slow the spread. 1st get ready so prepare your health care who are going to the proper use of personal preventative even for example. reorganize or try to think how to organize your i.c.u. network but most importantly prepare the population tell them that once you have the initial spread that they needed to change their behavior their need to reduce their social life i mean easier if everyone stays at home for 3 weeks this is going

to have to because no one should be no new patients should be infected ok so i understand it's illegal immigration and personal freedom but the other one this is going to be a disaster all right we'll have to leave it there dr jack come aggressively and see it these religious joining us from the university of milan in lombardy thank you very much. all right let's take a look at more of the latest coronavirus developments now a spain is considering a lockdown of its capital madrid a saudi arabia has suspended travel by its citizens and residents and halted flights to and from several states chance i'm going arkell's c.d.u. party has postponed the special conference it was planning to elect a new leader many schools across europe have been closed. and for all the latest on the ground of virus including information about what to do if you think you might be infected please visit our website dot com. or let's get

welcoming more refugees to their city. we were once refugees too and we survived german reunification without any trouble so why shouldn't we be able to deal with this situation. when it's not the harm so we are approaching the limit in terms of capacity but this is an extreme case especially considering the children so we have to do something with us too. portis there will be protests parties such as the a.f. the right wing extremist and right wing populist groups in our society will once again protest or. to steal but there's no reason to have right wing extremists determine whether or not we rescue people in need. of the mention in north that. it's not known how many people might eventually come to berlin the conflict between cities offering shelter the german government and other european union countries on
