this is deja vu news live from berlin germany starts to lock down its borders as it fights to control the spread of the coronavirus this was the situation of one french german border crossing this morning. if you look behind me you can see there are already long lines coming from prawns this is a traffic jam is going to kill over those in 2 fronts road no. will go to our

reporter for an update. meanwhile the shutdown continues to tighten across europe the spain imposes almost total lockdown telling residents to remain inside their homes it is the 2nd to force head country in europe after italy. markets remain troubled by the time to make risk germany's dax opens out of 5 percent asian markets also continued their fall despite monetary intervention. plus anger in berlin as the trumpet ministration tries to take over a german biotech company and secure exclusive rights to a future corona virus vaccine. i'm serious i was gonna go to have you with us europe's open borders are beginning to close germany has joined a growing list of e.u. countries to at least partially shut out its. person

a bit to halt the spread of the coronavirus now berlin has announced controls on its borders with switzerland austria denmark and luxembourg you can see here these borders to the south and to the north are being closed and now we're stretches are also being imposed along the french german frontier. gridlock on the french german border these cars have been waiting for at least 30 minutes to end to germany. we are sending back any vehicle which is not being granted special status the end to germany has a valid reason to cross. it's just one of many makeshift border controls set up on monday in a bid to stem the corona virus outbreak german citizens and residents may continue through as can delivery drivers and those commuting to work anyone displaying coronavirus symptoms will be handed over to health authorities. and in normal actually they need to protect or somehow from everything that's been happening it's really bad at the moment there is no set time frame for these travel restrictions

and the government says it might extend them to borders with other neighboring countries. when the recent open i was we must assume that we have not yet reached the peak of this development. the situation is very serious and we must and will react this is happened in many areas and be very very squishy one of the most important measures protecting our population from infection is breaking the chain of infection. to. german chancellor angela merkel is expected to meet with the french president and leading e.u. officials later on monday to discuss the border control measures. all right let's go to band regular she is standing by right on the french german border between the french town of fox and the german city of southwark and and apparently you are on the german side of the border how are things looking where you are is traffic still running. he had the border crossing off the autobahn

number 6 traffic is running quite smoothly that no more traffic jams into france most of the 6 to 8000 commuters a pos this border control every day already in germany and you can see behind me the brits are the german federal police is checking some french cars. french people trying to get into germany they have not many chances because you have to have a workplace in germany on another good reason to enter germany and these cars would be sent back to france this is part of the lockdown but these already the few this is the minority it seems that people in france already know that they cannot check and they don't even try to get here to the border and police told me it's a very quiet and calm situation right now ban for people who are on the roads today how are they dealing with these tracks. let me talk to some people who back in control of his border crossing they're quite understanding that this is

necessary to to fight the coronavirus and they say well they have a workplace in germany they try to go there some people say they could probably go back to france and stay there for the time being so very understandably and you know you know and. and then what exactly are authorities looking to achieve here do they really think that these checks will help slow the spread of the virus. or the german administration says this is one mean to 2 to interrupt the the chain of infection of corona some critics say well is that really the case because truck drivers can go with their trucks over the border are they immune to corona but there has one trucks to go to deliver goods. but other countries like for example the austria have a very strict policy they have a kind of curfew in place and it seems that also some parts of germany will now

follow this lead the variant time is democracy that also restaurants bars shops playgrounds and sport venues in bavaria of the be closed soon so that people cannot get out there and spread the virus all right our correspondent dan rivers reporting there at the french border thank you very much all right let's take a look at the political situation here in germany now we have our chief political editor michelle and chris now with us hi michelle we heard there that the various taking these measures closing sports venues playgrounds restaurants bars at what does this mean for germany as a whole. it means that certainly bavaria switching from federal mode into a more centralist mode until the very are declared the stage of emergency is to could only recommend to local authorities what to do now the order of the state premier is basically the law at this moment in time and we're also hearing from

north rhine-westphalia at this moment in time there's a press briefing going on via twitter that the most effective german state here that may well follow suit so that is actually a major chains and how politics deals with this crisis that we saw the situation on the land borders that they're largely closing what about people who are arriving by air are going are going to see changes made there. absolutely we've already seen the state of back announce that it will close its territory to traffic at the same time here in berlin we've learned that billions to go airport will remain open through the night which is unusual to allow special flights coming in bringing german travelers back the german foreign minister heikal mass has recommended not to travel unless absolutely necessary because it can no

longer be guarantee that people particularly if they travel by air can make it back and we heard from the stricken company look tons of course germany's air carrier which is so in economic trouble right now that it is now being asked by the german the foreign ministry to help bring back german passengers stranded pretty much across the world so moment by moment we see actually real steps being taken to get people back but no longer real guarantees that if people choose to travel now they will in fact make it back in time for what exactly that's the big question well when we know that we're reaching the key moment the highest moment of this crisis we don't seem to be there right yet. you know just quickly we've seen these images of police out in the streets of madrid trying to make sure the people stay at home do you think we could see something like that here in germany as well at the moment right now that is pure speculation i have learned that

a discussion is going on with all states and the german chancellor whether to impose a nationwide state of emergency but i think we're still quite a way off from such a kind of curfew situation but he won't find anybody at this moment in time who will rule anything like that out our chief political editor michel because now for us thank you. now to the front line of the crown a virus outbreak here in europe italy daily life there has all but ground to a halt as the whole country is on lockdown all but essential shops have been closed public gatherings and travel been banned people have been told to stay at home on sunday 368 a new coronavirus related deaths were reported the worst single day toll for any country since the crisis began. and earlier we spoke to seemed in rome to find out why we are seeing such high mortality rates in italy especially in the north of the

country well what you're seeing now in a way it's it's immense and it is very tragic but it was expected because what you see now with the inspections that happened before the slow down measures put into place when the prime minister knocked down the entire country he said she says the impact of those measures are not going to be seen for a couple of weeks so that's what you're seeing right now not the 11 towns that were originally put on those restrictive measures there we're already seeing a slowdown infections but you're not going to be able to see any impact for a little while that's what the prime minister said that currently the situation is very critical if everybody needs to do the a pot in order to slow down the fiction on top of that figure of deaths that we're seeing $368.00 just in the last 24 hours it's really has an elderly population a quarter of the population is over the age of 65 it's one of the oldest populations in the world and we do know that covert 900 particularly impacts the

most vulnerable of society elderly and those with underlying health conditions so that's why you see these numbers. meanwhile spain is lockdown much of the country for 2 weeks to stop the spread of the corona virus and now the government says it is considering extending that time period and possibly closing its borders spain is suffering from the 2nd tours outbreak in europe after italy more than 47000000 people are being asked to stay at home and it's unclear for how long. spending an entire day at home together is something we're keith or family haven't done for a long time before trying to make the best of a difficult situation amid madrid's coronavirus lockdown indigo is employed as a bank and can therefore work from home while his daughter is able to access her schoolwork via the internet but it's his parents in bilbao that worry him. you've not been going outside i hope here in madrid police drones with loudspeakers are telling us to stay home and. when they tell you to stay inside

that's what you have to do you can't go around spreading the virus your 14 year old paula is working studiously through her school exercises but it isn't always easy without a teacher. domino demo send you all the exercises but sometimes you don't understand them you can ask your parents but they might not remember so they're not much help either and. madrid a city known for its bustling streets and vibrant atmosphere has fallen eerily quiet never in the history of spanish democracy have such drastic measures been taken according to the government. only those shopping for essential heading to work or visiting a doctor or pharmacy are allowed out on the streets some rule breakers are treated leniently by police others are threatened with fines. for the orchy thoughts family

the curfew brings its own difficulties but they're determined to comply as much as possible jaco is their biggest worry for any leopard or puppies aren't exactly ideal companions during a global health crisis there he's always seeking attention from strangers in the street and at home too i'm beginning to see every person we come across as a potential source of infection. you begin to go a little crazy in isolation laura tells us but then nothing here is as it should be at the moment those in madrid simply need to hold out in the hope that things will turn to normal soon. let's take a look now at more of the latest coronavirus developments peru has declared a state of emergency and closed its borders security forces are helping to impose quarantine of the population venezuela has ordered residents to stay home under quarantine and 7 of its states including the capital caracas china is putting all international arrivals to beijing in quarantine it reported 16 new cases on monday including 12 arriving from abroad and iran is reporting another 100 $29.00 deaths

from the corona virus taking the death toll there to $853.00 for more on this we can speak now to dale fisheries a professor of infectious diseases at the university of singapore also the chair of the world health organization's global outbreak and response network thank you for joining us here on d w you have said that there are a lot of lessons that we can learn from the response that we've seen in asian countries that have been hard hit so what do you mean by that i mean what's not being done in europe that has worked successfully in some of those asian countries . thanks so so what you're saying at the moment is. is really what was expected we knew what happened in. the rest of china and the lockdown in china really allowed her to look for a lead time for the world to prepare so much of the world hasn't prepared and now

there's a lockdown in those countries and i really hope that they prepare because when they do who are this could come back if they don't practice what's being practiced in large parts of asia. and these are the things that was floating about many times before this is the early detection of prices it's lots of testing it's it's quantity in your contacts but it's most importantly it's isolating the cases asia will not let a positive case back into the community until the test is clear and this is a large practice that this is a practice is by and large is ignored in the rest of the world where people are put on home farm saying and there's a trust that even when they're better we don't know if they're still shedding virus but there's a chance that they go back in the community and i think there's a fundamental difference between what happens in taiwan hong kong singapore korea

and china still why do you think that is why do you think european countries are ignoring what you say is an important measure to be taken. i think it was started by one of 2 countries and in a way it's become the norm and and all of course there's other differences but all those countries their numbers are going up asia's numbers are coming down or or at least proving up at a very controllable level if you say that lock downs can be a factor for how long i mean or how fast are these measures have an effect and slowing down the spread of the virus. so let me just say korea didn't lock down they just implemented these measures they didn't plus roads they they just there was a social responsibility of the people to not spread or to not go out if i was sick but i have had an experience for most obviously but you know lock downs are really

a time way you can. reassess your approach you can say have we got all our all our policies right are we going to apartments or civil is in place that we've got our contact tracy in place and are we communicating our message well enough to the community so they can actually be part of the solution because i can tell you there are major part of the solution by they have to if practice the social distancing you know not go out when they're sick all these types of things that we're all very familiar with so dale if lockdowns give us a time when us time to look at some of these measures and ways to prevent the spread how long should they be in place for i think until the country is is ready because i can tell you korea didn't lock down they just they just put all these measures in place in in other countries that are already in place and you know we're very vigorous with with making sure that context are found on their

found early tests done on old people that are suspects and if you vas if then you're isolated and you're not allowed out until until your throats homes. are able to leave it there gail fisher professor of infectious diseases at the university of singapore also from the w.h.o. thank you so much for joining us on. markets around the globe are starting the week with heavy losses germany's benchmark dax index fell more than 7 percent shares in the german blue chip index fell to a low not seen in over 4 years earlier asian markets also continued to drop tokyo tokyo's nikkei was down in spite of emergency monetary action by the bank of japan hong kong and shanghai were also trading lower that after chinese authorities released data showing retail sales down more than 20 percent and industrial output down by 13.5 percent. and the news on the trading

floor in frankfurt for us hardshell see 1st of all we've seen a huge drop again on the dax today what is the mood like there today what's the atmosphere like. well i think it just considering how volatile these past few weeks are investors are obviously exhausted and it's been a very harrowing couple of days for the markets the dax here in frankfurt down another 7 percent today it's fallen about 40 percent over the past month so investors are also just increasingly having to face restrictions in their own life and continue to sort of try to understand what the economic impact of this is and if there's anything that policymakers can really do to offset the economic impact of the outbreak and the restrictions governments are having to put in place yes you'll see i mean tokyo's nikkei is down today as we said despite monetary action by the bank of japan and we've seen measures taken here in germany of the european union to boost economies it seems like investors are not convinced by those

measures. clearly they're not if you look at these extreme declines we're seeing and stocks today this isn't really calling anybody at this point investors over the past several weeks have just been really repeatedly calling for policymakers central banks governments to step then with liquidity and support for business and . consumers and we've probably gotten we're seeing really unprecedented action from central banks trillions of dollars and liquidity being pumped into markets by the by the bank of japan and by all sorts of central banks and also really extreme and massive stimulus efforts by governments as well and including here in germany on friday they announced an unlimited policy of giving loans to businesses to help stabilize them but. investors are sort of grappling with the idea that the only way that markets are going to stabilize at this point is if if we see the virus being

contained and the only way to contain the virus is to really bring a con a means to a halt to stop travel to stop people from going outside of their homes so i think investors are really having to think about how this is going to impact the economy in the short term even if he is that policy measures that governments are putting in place will help businesses stay afloat in the long term and the short term the economic damage could be quite severe you mentioned travel show see it seems like the tourism sector is especially hard hit what can you tell us about that. it's just been i mean absolutely bird of brutal unbelievable. impact we're seeing on the global airline industry for example one of the airline industry groups today came out and said that this could be we could see a majority of airlines go bankrupt so this is obviously just a brutal unprecedented situation for airlines our correspondent chelsea delaney

reporting there from the frankfurt stock exchange thank you. well south korea has been among the countries worst affected by the new coronavirus but south korean businesses are working together to share the economic burden caused by the pathogen . so greenlit and lords and tenants are sharing the burden of weathering the decline in business caused by the corona virus outbreak with reductions in ruins large traditional markets especially needed the hilde. so there was some. we used to get an average 300000 visitors a day. but since the corona virus outbreak began we've been seeing less than 110th of our usual number of customers. business owners here have been suffering immensely so. not only domestic sales are affected as international

trade has also dwindled especially for small export. as. korea has a competitive global legend the fashion industry and its products are high in demand overseas but now that foreign buyers kaante even enter korea coupled with slowing fabric shipments and fewer visitors to the market overall it's having quite a large ripple effect. in addition to the rent reductions market managers have also coordinated strict public health responses some landlords have provided up to 50 percent off in rent although smaller reductions are more common but even those providing the discounts argue for more state led measures. meant to be. plummeting revenues of the merchants biggest concern so tax remedies are needed although the government has announced new tax breaks a lower income tax means little if merchants aren't making much to begin with so

many want to see a decrease in value added. on in. the large traditional markets rely on both tourism and elder shoppers both of which have dried up although more assistance may be coming merchants here in saul's an empty moon market and around south korea are soon likely to get some more help from the federal government the national assembly is set to pass a multi-billion dollar supplementary budget to support small businesses and to help contain and mitigate the qubit $900.00 break the so-called nice landlord trend has also brought banks into the movement with low interest loans as south korea copes with a deepening kovac 19 crisis. did u.s. president donald trump try to buy up a german company leading the race for a coronavirus vaccine berlin has reacted angrily to reports that trump offered by

a pharma company cure back $1000000000.00 to develop a vaccine exclusively for the u.s. foreign minister said berlin could not allow others exclusive rights to german research. searching for a breakthrough his cure vaca lab south west germany hopes to be the 1st in the race to develop a vaccine against the corona virus that is being noticed with reports surfacing donald trump is trying to rule the company to the u.s. fairly and is encouraging the buyer pharmaceutical firms to stay. in the political and we are seeing a lot of political support and the issue is taken very seriously from various sites specifically we have received support from an international vaccine initiative of any so that these clinical trials can also quickly begin to hear. clinician for the pins of. the company says research into several possible vaccines has begun with the 2 most promising to be chosen for clinical tests it expects to have an
