more painfully evident that in italy more than 13000 deaths the most in the world tonight italian lawmakers are asking their neighbors for help and if the european union doesn't get this right they warn that the e.u. itself could also become a victim of the. berlin this is the day. europe has to show whether or not it's a common european house we will soon need something close to normal economic activity that we have to face and overcome in the puckle challenge and emergency that's having a destructive impact on our health systems our economies and our social systems not only will we have thousands of coronaviruses deaths but we will also have millions of unemployed and. we are not writing pages of a business have a book here we are writing the pages of

a history book. also coming up the coronavirus has already appended daily life around the globe when the pandemic is over what kind of world will we live in will europe keep its promise to protect your data privacy these are plucked from this platform is the european city should it conforms to data protection regulations and respect society our values and can contribute to health protection. or to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and all around the world welcome we begin the day with the health crisis that has become a human crisis today the head of the united nations declared the coronavirus pandemic the greatest test that the world has faced since the 2nd world war and so far the solutions appear bigger than any one country this is not news to the people in italy the death toll from the virus is the. in the world their hospitals are at

their limits along with the country's entire economy unemployment is rising and more people are facing hunger the government is now distributing food but no one is kidding themselves tonight the gap between desperation and social unrest is getting smaller by the day italy's streets empty like they have been for the past 3 weeks. police are in patrol to ensure citizens only leave their homes when strictly necessary. the lockdown has altered daily life in italy and brought the country's economy to a halt all non-essential businesses have had to shut down many people have lost their jobs or have seen their salaries cut some are now unable to afford even the basics. authorities and individual citizens have stepped in handing out

meals to those in need but these initiatives are hardly enough and the risk of social unrest in italy is growing the mayor of naples has warned that the lockdown can't continue indefinitely. but he still we will soon need something close to normal economic activity. otherwise not only will we have thousands of coronaviruses deaths but we will also have millions of unemployed people need you'll need each local body like you know organized crime will stop and it can spend money and it can spend it faster than the government does it will stop in sicily police are patrolling supermarkets after reports of shoppers refusing to pay italy isn't the only nation with a lockdown is hitting the poor hardest it might again prove to be an example of what's to come in other countries paralyzed by the coronavirus crisis. over more now we want to bring in thomas own on the cine he's

a member of the italian senate for the center left democratic party which is one of the parties in the italian government he's also a political economist mr nunn and cine welcome to the day our condolences to your country and all those who have lost loved ones due to the virus your country is now in its 4th week of this lockdown the economy is shut down does everyone in italy tonight have enough to eat how do you think you are thanks for having me. actually the situation is still dramatic as you are saying and yes to let him be of the imagine city and he has to care imagines it and the government just extend the last hour or an essential services. to day until easter until a very interesting. we are confident that then storm there are

lauerman they peak. this one over although we are aware that it and seizure out of the lock down will be very difficult in that will have to be. gradual you know the transition after the lockdown the you tweeted earlier today that after the coronavirus pandemic there will be a new world whether we like it or not and it will depend on the choices being made today what are those choices. where we should be or be aware that of the huge responsibility that italian then i would say european leadership is facing this morning because the effect of the choices that they were. made in those difficult times will last.

they're proving how. at the moment the. transition out of the long out of the healthy medicines is out of them and then mr. this doesn't mean that we can afford the eminent lock down or. a lot of moments of magic means that we have to plan in advance the cause of the. lemmings. my surprise this issue leaders the transition that we have to plan cannot take us by surprise we have to see this engine. with. their work force receptor proves this that eventually. we. end up with a right social distancing mr nonagenarian want you to take

a listen to what your prime minister said about italy and the european union in this crisis take a listen. now prove it. but i would like to take the opportunity to tell the people of germany that we are not writing pages of a business handbook here. we are writing the pages of a history book. when i see that we have to face and overcome and they pop all challenge in order to master an emergency that's having a destructive impact on our health systems our economies and our social systems europe has to show whether or not it's a common european house a house capable of offering a response to this apocalypse challenge whether europe is up to its tasks as envisaged by schumann adenauer to gas buddy now in the death. i want to ask you that your prime minister there he is implying that something like euro

bonds or corona bonds are needed moving forward are you getting any indications from the netherlands or from germany that they would be willing to to change their rules and the tat taboos and say yes to some type of shared debt burden. i think that was a change in the discussion and it's not an immense chairman's guidance or that again spend there's. issues and it is difficult times we should lead this discussion as a europeans and we should discuss with different views of course because you may have on these men there more conservative or more progressive views about a kind of europe that you have vision but we shouldn't really have the discussion has europeans or carrying around our common policy we need to

face this crisis to address common problems with common to us. i mean to the least. you know your leaderships of the past i would that you just mentioned they were dead. in france from tara when those leadership decided to have a common currency. to have the euro they didn't listen just because of this thought came. over. here yes gave you. your piece going to post actually we should do the same in this point and really ask ourselves as europeans where we needed if he's got a union that complimented him on the union which would that would manage. that would be a big that would be a big change mr nonis seanie you wrote yesterday in the online newspaper link

yesterday you wrote that the fact that we have talian said often been masters of bad debt does not matter now although we should own up to it how do you convince though the german government the dutch government that your past behavior is not an indicator of italy's future behavior when it comes to debt. well intercepts the best while of the one you mention we should the knowledge that even go to the aid as utopians we need to do that that too for sort of investment is that as is alan seen the bus we have done a lot of bets that resolution them all of that the 2nd thing is that they knew that should be decided by european institutions i'm not

asking for a knock out or just to pay for it and that's. asking all of your young respect to the. your boss i do european level one too so all together. to face together the kratos which will decide to get their work out of the regular this illusion the senate will get there what are the areas and it tools that we use to face and employment and the reality products of our firms as are the europeans or every other. word while i am certain that this discussion where continue mr not to say need to muzzle on a senior member of the italian senate with the center left democratic party mr nonis jenny we appreciate you talking with us tonight thank you. and you there here

. is your smartphone helping the government trace your every step the german government is about to launch a smartphone app that would alert people if they come in contact with someone who has tested positive for the corona virus no studies show that this contact tracing method is highly effective against epidemics it was used in south korea successfully but will it force people to decide between public health and data privacy so far of the signs are all for public health. using mobile phones to tackle the coronavirus without a massive increase in states of eylandt for weeks over 100 experts from 8 countries have been working to achieve this goal now they've come up with an app that uses bluetooth technology to anonymously monitor whether other users on nearby for a certain period of time. if

a user has tested positive for the corona virus other pieces who were in contact received a warning. up as a free app works on a voluntary basis privacy will be strictly respected because we will on no account to use personal data or location data neither will day to be saved over a long period but rather just for 21 days. germany's business friendly free democratic party is among those to back the idea. the the plot from the of this platform is li european city sion it conforms to data protection regulations and respects society our values and can contribute to health protection from the finnish tap isn't ready yet and the german government says the newly announced project is just one of many options he's considering you know shouldn't have to spend as cunts i can tell you now that the head of the chancellor's office thinks the app is promising and welcomes the fact that a cross border solution is being worked on at the n.c.

bush buttons from simulate the project's developer say an app may be ready after easter. well my next guest tonight is olof groats he is the c.e.o. of cambridge in futures and a professor at the business school at the university of california in berkeley he's also the author of solomon's code humanity in a world of thinking machines it's a look into the future of a society changed by artificial intelligence mr growth welcome back to the day when you and i 1st spoke here back in may 2018 you told me that the european union passing its new data protection wall would go down in history as a game changing event is the coronavirus pandemic also a game changing event. it's nice to be with you brant and yes coronavirus will push the e.u. to come to terms with a key tension in many ways decisions on corona's seem to mirror those on additional

economy in europe they seem to mostly get made locally but the cost is borne regionally as infection spread but this shows that we can't truly act as one so what we really need is one regional smart meaning you know digitally integrated health net across europe that helps track and mitigate these types of endemic brussels proposers regulation toward a idea and a common to all market but then decisions on execution procedures for implementation get make make locally right and those local realities are very different as we all know right so the region is too fragmented it really needs to start to look to to act as one homogenizing local rules and procedures and creating one common infrastructure you have said that data big data is the new all and it's also a matter of life and death when we're trying to plot a course to contain this virus governments in the united states and europe they

acted on the data late and now we're talking about hundreds of thousands possibly die isn't this a clear case of ignore the data at your own peril. well i think that's correct the e.u. is very advanced in regulating and protecting and debating and perfecting for a long time before acting but the time for acting has come regulation isn't the problem creating privacy enabled data pools and then building in scaling solutions really is right in terms of quickly building and scaling those solutions meanwhile thousands will be dying because europe lacks an up to date well governed and well protected in of course privacy assured digital infrastructure so europe just can't seem to make decisions fast enough to really implement these things as quickly as change happens in the world we pass legislation and then very little else happens so we we have to stop talking and we have to start acting yeah i mean it's it's a good point i just spoke with

a member of the italian senate and he's pushing for euro bonds and getting the northern europeans to get on board but that is proving to be impossible for him at least at this stage one of the biggest changes in this pandemic is that many people have been sent home to work the home office concept it's really flourishing and after this pandemic many people may never go back to the office outside of their home how is our notion of work being impacted by this pandemic. well you know on one hand working from home can create more reflection time if you have the luxury of space you know you you then have possibly a greater yield of ideas and potentially even innovation maybe even higher productivity you know that's that's a positive however there's also downsides right for one work from home is it is really a highly privileged thing to do many people don't have a home of their own what you think about them hundreds of millions of people in

developing countries around the world who don't or if they do they don't really have a lot of space in that space to share and then also if you work at home then there is no more room for relaxation for switching off and that too is not good for productivity and for creativity and innovation so my hope is that we're going to see new innovations come out of this around communication around collaboration and i will speak to that tension by enabling us and also safeguarding you know us to be human sent to to relax and to refuel when we need to in order to be more productive and that's one of my great hopes for change coming out is so you're probably you're probably not the type to does home office in his pajamas but that would be a different show here let me ask you about. about surveillance and the state once this pandemic is behind us you know south korea used cell phone data to successfully contain the virus we know that china is using artificial intelligence

and draconian surveillance and it's being praised for breaking the speed of the spread now there's a push on europe and the united states to tap this data for public health i mean does the push like we've never seen before what do you see happening. well look as you know i am very concerned but also hopeful right. so so i'm very concerned about potentially fostering pushing what we call the surveillance economy or surveillance capitalism where we can literally get observed and measured and sensed every minute of our days and clearly we can't let that happen on the other side or on the other hand i should say surveilling when very well defined very narrow ways when it comes to public health house very tangible very material tradeoffs and benefits i should say so we need to design solutions that give us those benefits and also

respect our privacy so that for instance our movement patterns war the nature of our social relationships cannot be tracked and then handed through networks to the wrong people that requires delivered safeguards and regulations and again that's where the e.u. excels but it also requires that we give entrepreneurs and business people some guidance on how to design these use cases and how they get the benefit but also respect the human being in that germany and incidentally singapore with these new apps are taking 1st steps and i commend them but again we need to see what actually remains after we've talked about it can we actually execute and scale this. you know throughout germany and really the european union with the appropriate safeguards quickly it's not safe to safeguards us the word right i mean you're assuming that the public is going to trust the government some public institutions and that's been that's a problem right now. that's a problem and i think we do need you know some kind of certification by governance

by governments that they are putting on top of these applications governance mechanisms meaning privacy safeguard audit right where experts you know under n.d.a. nondisclosure agreements can actually monitor what kind of data gets collected what kind of identifiers are in the data and whether these privacy of course is actually being respected all of that can be done we've done it elsewhere and it needs to be done here if we want the public to accept it because it's no good to have these apps if we can't scale them throughout the public through the population that's very true what good is anything if you don't have trust to go with it olof groat c.e.o. of cambridge in futures mr brown is going to see you again we appreciate your insights thank you thanks for having me. or should we all be wearing face masks to protect ourselves and others from the spread of the corona virus for months public health officials have said that for

healthy people there's no need but that stance may be changing public health authorities here in europe and in the u.s. may soon encourage more people to wear masks and it comes when protective equipment for doctors and nurses is in short supply w.'s young philip schultz reports tonight from spain. it takes just minutes to produce the plastic brake it's needed for protective masts and genea fences could put out as a 3 d. printer at home when an initiative in his hometown of civility was set up to produce masks for medical personnel he joined and right away for safety reasons we met francisco outside his apartment his family for the insight the hope he proudly showed us the model that the members of the initiative designs together the emphasis is on simplicity so that the masks can be produced quickly. i know that people need. much. social security.

because my wife. she will. be tough enough to take. the box i'm the oldest. francisco about 100 other participants princeps more than 5000 masks in the last few dates local police officers then distribute them the lack of basic protective gear and spanish medical facilities is getting worse about one in 10 people newly infected with the coronavirus work in health care according to official statistics. inside described the senator every situation in many hospitals and clinics as shocking and why the creativity of private initiatives is impressive some. questions about the responsibility of the government why does the state seem to be so prepared for a crisis like this and the government not to stockpile protective.

well the pandemic is limiting our social lives with lockdowns forcing the temporary closure of bars restaurants and cinema as well almost all sediments the german city of s. and has a notable exception but you'll need a car to see it with a few blankets for the cold evening nicole and her daughter get ready to watch a film at the drive in cinema they're also taking some ice cream and candy along tonight the german comedy is playing. you can understand you can go to a normal cinema and there's nothing else city in the car we don't have to worry about jen's life so to go said let's go to the cinema ok to get kino like nicole many people are making their 1st trip to the drive in. it's been beneath we've never been here we would have gone to a normal cinema but this was suitable sense stead of sitting at home on the couch we decided to come here i want to mind here again well most of germany's drive in

my country through its finest our lives until the day i mean. not tied down didn't. dance a fool and. it is the year 2019 we're sending money around the world so our phones are talking about autonomy as flying taxis were taking pictures of black holes in space and still a woman makes less money working in the same job as a man we need to talk about that.
