good why do i just be a modern man to suit global 3000 w. . this is deja vu news live from berlin is china facing a 2nd wave of corona virus infections concern is growing after a rise in new cases many involving travelers from abroad will bring you the latest from beijing. will be probably the toughest week between this week and next week then they'll be a lot of death unfortunately. a somber warning from u.s. president donald trump best the number of confirmed coronavirus cases in the u.s.

tops 300000. also on the program life is under a lockdown is hitting low income households the hardest here in germany some charities have closer to children can no longer rely on free school meals you need a family of 6 who are feeling the pinch. michael oku welcome to the program in china the epicenter of the corona virus outbreak both already have been cautiously lifting some restrictions on public life that's after the daily number of new infections dropped dramatically but now new worries about a 2nd wave of cases authorities found 30 new infections in mainland china on saturday as compared to just. 19

a day earlier travelers from abroad are involved in those cases the so-called imported cases of the virus present a worrying trend for beijing as you cases where patients displayed no symptoms they can transmit covert 9000 to others the central government is now pushing local health authorities to find and isolate asymptomatic patients let's bring in correspondent. in beijing subunits nice to see you again people around the world look at china to potentially give them clues about what might happen where they live so naturally people might be curious to know easy this 2nd wave coming from students returning a broader others coming from outside or is it coming from some other internal domestic source well i mean in china we cannot yet speak about a 2nd wave because the number of new infections every day are relatively low i mean you have to consider that this is a country of 1400000000 people and yes sooner or later scientists predict there

will be a 2nd wave coming and mostly because of the. relaxation of trouble restrictions because of those some to metric carry us silent carry less of the virus because if you want to detect all of them that basically means you have to test the whole population and not only once but several you know over the course of a certain period of time and that's impossible and of course yet there are many important cases so basically students from overseas who return to china but they have to go to a karen team for 14 days so in theory this is a system to secure but of course nothing is 100 percent secure but as of now i mean the official data suggests that there's no 2nd wave yet well with restrictions on movement being used what are authorities doing to stop a 2nd way is. yes a general trend not only in china but you can see that in the whole east of asia

and that's a little bit yeah i mean basically the the countries are isolating themselves they're shutting down the borders in china you can see that in the most radical way i mean no foreign us allowed to enter even the foreignness with a long time have visa and residence here they are not allowed to enter not even for transit flights and within beijing also we have strict karen rules people from other provinces who travel to the capital they have to go to karen teen at the rest of the country became relatively free back to normal and also quite safe but this system only works if you isolate the country from the outside in f.l. example south korea which was known to having to let the curse of the virus but without actually you know locking the country down even though even for them right now every foreigner travels from abroad has to current team for 14 days in japan it's similar and in hong kong also no foreign allowed to enter anymore that's

basically the general trend and maybe that's also a glimpse into the future for the development in europe and also the u.s. and so sudden crash there in beijing thanks much for that view. meanwhile china has started supporting virus stricken countries around the world with equipment even sending medical teams is it international solidarity or is china seeking to extend its global influence here's a quick look at a d w special. it's late march in serbia and a plane has just landed at belgrade airport. this is no ordinary flight on board a medical teams and tons of equipment to help fight the coronavirus they flown in from china and they get a hero's welcome the president himself is here. with
