the police do not to dumb to police. april 8th. this is deja vu news live from berlin and adjusting to life with the corona virus as your it becomes the new epicenter of the disease people face a new reality of shutdowns travel bans and calls to limit social contact to slow the spread. germany wraps up its responses coronavirus cases jump to more than 2000 chancellor angela merkel warns against large gatherings schools and cannot parts in

several regions have been ordered to close. also coming up 12 months after the massacres at 2 mosques new zealand's prime minister says the country has become a different place. i believe you don't it's people have fundamentally changed i can't see how you could have been has been like this or not. and another traumatic anniversary it's been one year since cycling to die it must be we need a man who is home now lives under a pile of boulders swept into his town by the flood waters. i'm sumi so muskaan it's good to have you with us governments across the world are stepping up efforts to contain the coronavirus many countries are closing borders and shutting down all public life. saying that is the only way to slow the spread

of the disease stock markets have sustained their biggest losses in decades let's take a look now at how many americans in europe are scrambling to return home before a ban on travel to the u.s. and likely flight cancellations come into force in a few hours time. a rude awakening for many americans in europe departure halls were packed as travelers scramble to get home after hearing that the u.s. is restricting travel from the european union starting at midnight eastern standard time on friday is pretty crazy because it sounded like 2 am we were on a with. trying to the airport 3 flights were on a flight by at 9 am a little bit more heads up would have been nice because we freaked out and we found out so i guess communication wasn't great trump has restricted travel for foreigners to the u.s. from e.u. countries in an attempt to get a handle on the 1900 outbreak but some say his decision will do little to stop the

virus from spreading. he is facing a lot of criticism because of this trouble then not only in iraq but europe but also here in the u.s. with many experts saying that it's too late that the virus is already here across the atlantic in italy more than 12000 people have been infected and around 1000 have died this picture of an exhausted nurse taken earlier this week has become a symbol of the strain medical staff are under the doctors are having to make tough decisions there aren't enough mechanical ventilators in hospitals to treat seriously ill patients the e.u. has expressed solidarity and promised the crisis stricken country billions of euros in aid. for the pandemic is having a big impact of the on the world economy sending us stock markets into a tailspin on thursday the new york stock exchange had its worst day of trading

since 1987 the dow jones struck 9 percent after the opening bell and trading had to be stopped for 15 minutes for the 2nd time this week around the world fears over the pentatonic are hammering markets the selloff in the u.s. came after president trump's travel ban announcement sparked fresh market panic in asia and also in europe it follows days of market drops as investors fear that government simply cannot contain the 1910 demick. all right let's talk about all of this we have got hard business with us in our political correspondent nina as well good to have you both guard let's start with you and i was just talking about markets they're not they're not the only things being having it's a real economy as well as in it yeah it's not just of high finance well it's you know about trillions and billions and all that but it's actually real companies that are being hit and is real people that are actually already losing their jobs this morning i spoke to the c.e.o. of a large fashion retailer here in

a mail order retailer here and germany he told me 2 interesting things. 1st their supplies in china are coming really coming back home live we're hearing from the chinese government that the worst is over and all that and actually in terms of the economy that seems to be the case workers are returning to factories and 2nd he told me well we are a large company supplies in china stopped delivering the goods to us by we could switch we have other supplies we can switch to bangladesh we can switch to turkey and now in these cut countries get hit by the virus we will be able to switch back to china but small and medium sized companies do not have this kind of network they won't be able to react like this so large companies are slightly safer than small and medium sized companies and people will be losing their jobs you know that's really important to keep in mind let's talk about the political aspect and we saw the german chancellor angela merkel meeting with the leaders of germany states yesterday to coordinate measures and she said she's talking to public health

officials that the public health of the germany is the most important priority but also that she needs to safeguard the economy let's take a look at that that what she said. in light of the turmoil in the markets germany will do whatever is necessary to help its economy and secure a jobs. that's we have agreed that tomorrow the bundestag and the boom does not begin drawing up a plan to compensate workers and companies for reduced working hours programs to provide more security to them. to be shifted into an even. more security we heard the words there from the chancer what does this mean in concrete terms well there's saw time worker a deal asians are becoming law at the moment that's an instrument that was used by the german government in the financial crisis and 10 years ago and that worked very well for the german economy it made it easier for smaller sized companies especially to send people home when they were ill and they knew that they would be

compensated for that and then the german government has announced a large economic aid package and we'll hear the details off that later today that will be announced by the german economics minister and the finance minister and it will probably be worth billions. evening until america is going to meet key players from the german economy so they're also going to the announcement measures ok go ahead what impact will all these measures have on the german economy whether it will hit the economy of course but you know the companies know that it's like if you contract the virus it's not the virus that kills you it is your immune systems response that kills you and the same goes for for societies are responding to it but they will take a hit the economies inevitably will take a hit but in effect everybody understands that we are at war against this virus you have to throw everything acids the key is though to time everything right and to

find the right balance the right timing when to reduce measures how to help how to support the 2 front finding this. whole balance is very important otherwise you might win the battle and lose the war but we know germany does not you know its economy doesn't exist in a vacuum it's also an export nation depends very much on trade with other european countries and you know we've seen a real crises in countries like italy is germany doing anything to support its partners well devaney depends on other european countries to import the goods from germany so of course it's in germany's interests to keep the european economy growing and i found very interesting that uncle americal said you know the rigid budget discipline that we've had in germany for a long time now that is no longer our top priority she explicitly mentioned the words debt break and black 0 and that is a big thing for political balin and she also says that the e.u.

needs to coordinate its efforts a lot better and we'll also hear from you top officials later today about more measures that need to be taken to help countries like italy all right. with us here in the studio thank you both very much. well there had we'll have more of the impact of the corona virus coming up in business news news right after this show now a growing number of states in germany have ordered schools and other public facilities to close in bavaria and starland authorities have ordered schools kindergartens and daycare centers to close berlin will start gradually closing schools next week and it's going to reduce public transport capacity 3 other german states including the most populous state north rhine-westphalia are expected to announce further steps later today. all right let's talk about all the measures here in germany we have did have you science reporter derek williams with us he is

a self isolating right now at home here in berlin derrick it's good to see you we've heard there the 3 german states including berlin are now closing schools and kindergartens and we're expecting other states to follow suit does this step make sense. well interestingly the experts there kind of really go back and forth on this question a lot the truth of the matter is is that we don't really know we are in pretty much uncharted territory here in this kind of fast moving epidemic every everyone is to some extent sort of making it up as they go along the general opinion amongst most of the experts here in germany up until very recently was that closing schools and pre-schools would actually be counterproductive because that would also force units of school age children to stay home with them now that would also have a serious knock on effect in the health care sector because the frontline staff that are actually treating people because you can have nurses and caregivers and doctors staying at home with their kids when they need to be in the hospitals

helping people who are infected so more and more actually but more and more of the experts seem to be moving away from this sort of conviction and they're starting to say that that after all maybe it is a good point at this point in germany to shut schools for a while to slow down the spread of the virus this flattening of a curve that we've we've been hearing over and over so some german states have done that already and i actually fully expect the rest of the german states to follow close order probably by next week what about the issues we've seen from the u.s. derek president trump shutting born to europeans is that a scientifically sound decision. from a logical viewpoint it really doesn't make actually much sense at all i mean while it's true that in europe and in italy in particular there have been they're struggling with numbers of and we're starting with numbers and factions it doesn't really mean that people are better off in the us i mean most experts say that this lower infection rate is actually down to the fact that very few tests have been

conducted in the us at all and that's down to the fact that actually less than 10000 up and just for comparison insult korea a major hotspot they've been conducting 20000 tests a day and 10000 tests in the entire american population is not really enough to say whether or not there's a large number of large great number of people who simply haven't been tested and but have contract infection so shutting off europe doesn't really make any kind of sense logically were scientifically a kind of only makes sense if you think about it as a as a political move does seem like there's a lot we still don't know and a lot of people are wondering about infection and mortality rates do we have any reliable numbers on that yet. well calculating mortality rates actually during a disease epidemic it's a it's a really a very tricky business because it's just it's not enough to take the number of reported deaths and there i did by the number of confirmed infections because as as

we all know there are going to be a large number of people who are about mild symptoms or who are possibly asymptomatic and those people like might never be tested or we might only be of the test of in the coming months and years for antibodies to see if they might actually have the disease at one point so it's a very very squishy number to talk about the mortality rate what we really need what we do know about it at this point is that it appears to be around one percent to maybe 2 percent depending also very much on changing from nation to nation an older nation like like like italy it's going to be higher because the population is higher the population is older one in 4 italians is over $65.00 places like south korea where they're testing testing testing it's actually proving to be lower. it's going to be what we know at this point is it's more deadly than the flu and it's less deadly than sars and coming to really firm conclusion about mortality rates

other than that it's going to be baked in the for the coming months and years. williams from did have you science with us thank you very much. now the wife of canadian prime minister justin trudeau has tested positive for the corona virus so feet great dr trudeau had just returned home from a trip to london when she experienced mild symptoms according to an official statement prime minister trudeau him self is in good health with no symptoms of the virus but he will be self isolating and working from home for 2 weeks as a precaution canada has reported almost 150 corona virus cases and one death. are at let's look now at more of the latest coronavirus developments the cruise company princess cruises has suspended operations for 2 months 2 of its ships have been quarantined after outbreaks of the virus singapore has banned a cruise ship visits and mass gatherings effective immediately france has joined a growing list of european countries closing schools and universities japan's

killed and dozens injured in the white supremacist attack on the city's muslim community survivors of the shooting and other residents attended community prayers at an indoor stadium to pay tribute to the victims leaders of the $2.00 mosques led the joint service and worshippers heard testimony from survivors prime minister just in the artery attended the event before the service she said new zealand needs to continue in challenging places. a year on i believe new zealand and its people have fundamentally changed i can't see how you could have an event like this and not but the challenge for us will be ensuring that in now every day actions in the every opportunity we see bullying harassment rices i'm discrimination calling it out as a nation there is one will show that we each individually have a role to play and making sure new zealand has fundamentally changed for the beef. while the suspected mosque attacker an australian is due to go on trial on june

15th facing terrorism charges plus $51.00 counts of murder and 40 of attempted murder there's a look back at the tragic events that took place in christ church one year ago. the mass shooting was something new for new zealand the country had been proud that it hadn't had such massacres and its response was novel in many ways the gunman had life streamed his massacre of worship as of the christ church mosque online he wanted to become a global figure the prime minister just in the odd took an unusual step and refused to give him the notoriety he was looking for. he is a terrorist he's a criminal he's an extremist but he will when i speak be nameless. she also quickly showed solidarity with the muslim community and donned a headscarf to lead

a nation and defiant morning. many of those who will bring to recreate afflicted by the shooting may be migrants to new zealand they may even be very few genes here they have chosen to make new ceiling their home and it is the harm that i r s. new zealand also stood out by following warm words with concrete action. within weeks the government launched a gun buyback scheme a month later it banned semi automatic rifles now it's been a year since a cyclonic die struck southern africa the storm killed more than a 1000 people in mozambique zimbabwe but ask are and malawi part of the damage was the trauma of the people who witnessed the disaster had to face didn't you correspondent privilege was fun he visited she money money in zimbabwe the epicenter of the march 2900 cycle and he spoke to one survivor who lost his wife

and his home in the disaster. the events of that night last year constantly haunt you time with t.c. the cycle and smile through his home he was left with nothing he's broken into and struggling to deal with the trauma since the cyclon pieterse wife has been missing he has no idea if she's too alive still is trying to pick up the pieces running in a grocery shop to make ends meet. we don't know what's in next so it's very difficult when someone lost a confidence in life it's a difficult situation so. for the last months. it was a very difficult. you know when you don't know what's next and

difficult situation is punishment or. a punishment that peter and many others here will feel was undeserved they're awfully to hope. not because. i'm a really nice thing because i was this thing this was where my house was better rons passed through town is a better i know that these are rocks. on these big rubber bands i could quote remind them of what happened when the famed for my so i now have to deal with the past try my to be a rock how to experience a. mental health experts warn that ignoring these he didn't warns will not make them disappear treatment should be agent but in the long term untreated post-traumatic stress disorder we see

a low quality of life in people you can just imagine if someone constantly has to avoid certain triggers city areas certain reminders feel bad about themselves you know this can this can lead to other conditions like the depression and anxiety where people are just so withdraw from life. cycle was one of the west storms to zimbabwe in recent history so it would be hard to forget these memories for those we experienced the disaster. the missing will only be declared dead after an inquiry which may take some time and that one of the prolong the misery of those still seeking closure while that report is from zimbabwe as we mentioned mozambique was also very hard hit by the cyclon and we're joined now from the capital my put o. by marc he's the national director of mozambique for the aid organization care mark

thank you for joining us on what is being done to provide survivors of the cycling with the kind of closure that they need. it as you heard before on the situation remains critical on the ground because the recovery phase is still ongoing and people who have suffered direct impact of the die still living this day to day a lot of them into carrying plans that were put in place remain on the front it. was because in the region over 100000 people are still living in makeshift shelters dying the incredibly die is this presence of them on a daily basis so for us to hoping people to establish civilian lives on bringing children back into school for example establishing what you know it's all over means one of the top priorities markets had a lot of people are still living in shelters i mean a year later how many people are still dependent upon aid and how many people are

still unaccounted for. that is as mentioned about. people remain missing or unaccounted for and that will require closure from from officials. on on the dependency we have been working especially during the past year with multiple seasoning to provide my few assistance in terms of seats so the 3 people can rebuild but unfortunately always seeing with the current climate crisis is that we see repeated shocks within the region zimbabwe was indeed are involved in a massive drought in the scene flooding in some of the areas and they are out in the in the last few weeks that have destroyed some of the recovery efforts so that the situation remains really much present and he has been a nice. mark looking at the situation today a year later would you say that the country is any better prepared now for this

kind of catastrophic event in the future i honestly and i said just a year ago i think it's difficult for any country to be geared for this type of scaling back of a disaster. i think we have learned a lot of lessons in terms of the just sticks and how to bring and support people but if there would be another sign today they would be really much struggling especially since infrastructures still remain damaged and some of the areas that were hit by site when he died all right mark from the aid organization care joining us from. thank you so much for sharing your insights with us today. they had pretty tough. this is news and these are our top stories governments across the world are stepping up efforts to contain the coronavirus many countries are closing borders and shutting down all public life saying that's the only way to slow the spread of the disease. the pentatonic is having
