let's bring in our correspondent sean potts in london seanad thanks for joining me it's incredibly rare for the queen to address the nation like this how significant is it. well it is very significant she's only addressed the nation on a handful of occasions in her 70 year reign and this was a much needed speech to boost the spirits of the british people and throughout the commonwealth and it might be just the biggest crisis that the queen has faced so far tell us what else she had to say we saw a little bit but what were the kid takeaways from her address she was evoking the wartime spirit and in comparison to other european leaders who have done that she has gone through the 2nd world war herself she is a veteran she was calling on british people to be disciplined to stay at home and

to see this crisis through together and another thing that struck me was that she offered comfort she said at some point you will be able to see your families and loved ones again she closed with the words we will meet again so quite emotional from the queen tonight and the royal family have had a personal experience with the crown of ours how they dealing with it well the queen and her husband she is 93 year as been his 98. isolating at their home in windsor. and you are referring to the personal experience of prince charles the heir to the throne her eldest son he contracted the virus a couple of weeks ago he has since recovered and is now back doing his duties but the queen has to remain in isolation per government's advice at least for 12 weeks shallop holds for us in london thanks very much for the update.

well the chinese city of will hand their original epi center of the corona virus pandemic has begun to re-open after months on lockdown of our teens are easing the restrictions that kept the city's 11000000 people at home now residents of slowly returning to the streets with some leaving their homes for the 1st time since late january. life inside were han it's still a place of fear and fascination as the city begins to move on from the crisis. and goes on within the they say there are many infected people without symptoms so i'll wait until none of those people are out there before i feel safe but i'm worried even if there's only one case a day. i think people will have a psychological fear of the epidemic. it all depends on how individuals think.

you know my heart come out here every day i'm not i'm not so scared but i have to take all the precautions in the right way. it's only the barricades that hinted anything other than business as usual at this market directed at the beginning of the outbreak they're slowly being taken down as their purpose becomes moot. who hands 11000000 residents are slowly emerging from their harms aging and sleeping sleeping in a sing i think it's really relaxing i've worked for more than 20 years and have never experienced something like this before. this couple takes advantage of the sunshine after 2 months inside. so when i had been confined for a long time somehow i sometimes felt depressed once how but when i thought about it

and calmed down on myself i felt sorry for which an app that i hadn't caught the coronavirus. being healthy is better than everything is somewhat. the fear of being infected has not gone away as restrictions on residents. as residents return to their lives will it be the woo hon they remember. let's take a look now at some of the other covert 19 stories making news this hour millions of indians have switched off their lights and lit candles in a show of solidarity in the fight against the coronavirus families confined to their homes by a nationwide lockdown gathered at their doors and windows india has seen its coded 19 cases rise in recent days to more than 3 and a half 1000. in saudi arabia local authorities have deployed drones in the fight against the virus the machines are fitted with thermal cameras to measure the body temperature of shoppers in the outkast same region

a higher than normal body temperature is one of the symptoms of covert 19. in uganda thora to use it donating food to vulnerable people living in the capital kampala a lockdown has hit the poor especially hard in the city where many earn a living selling goods in the street activists have accused ugandan security forces of using beatings and shootings to enforce the restrictions. of. german chancellor angela merkel has said it's still too early to say when coronavirus lockdown measures across the country can be relaxed but policymakers are already ready exploring ways to prevent new infections once restrictions are lifted one option is a smartphone app to track people's movements and warn them if they've had contact with someone who's tested positive but in germany data protection is a big concern. our mobile phones could become an important weapon in the fight

against the corona virus and germany could see the benefits very soon so for developers are working on tracking ups which would enable a loosening of restrictions on movement without compromising data privacy the op registers of their smartphones with the op installed on contract people who are in the vicinity of the user for a particular amount of time if the up user tests positive for corona all the people they had contact with can be notified and warned the hope is that possible cases of infection can be isolated more quickly according to calculations however it only works if 60 percent of the population uses the up. leg of it as long as it's free and it doesn't come from above i think it's completely ok but low everyone has a smartphone by now which they use to look up everything with an app that bed registers your location around the clock that's why it makes sense it's what they did in china. the data protection laws are far stricter in europe than they are in china however which is why using the us to be voluntary and anonymous it's not

programmed to log the users location only the distance between them journalist is monitoring the ops development. guns and shine what's on its own crew sure this that the information is only saved on my telephone at 1st it's not uploaded anywhere not stored at a central location somewhere this way if i were to test positive i could then decide to share the information voluntarily. the corona could be launched in germany this month just under half of all germans have signaled a willingness to install it one of them being angola merkel herself. for more on this let's bring in dennis kenji kippa from the european academy for freedom of information and data protection thanks for joining me just how effective can this at bay given the fact that its use is voluntary. you know well definitely some

dots risk regard to us because if not people enough if not enough people saw install such an app the resulting program that will be incomplete and can only provide a false sense of security in my opinion and i believe that we must remain realistic on this issue that means as a scenario of that you assume we currently can only have for a successful app if it's a density like facebook or google and we need to create a very high distribution in a very short time of this app and i find this very difficult but i also believe that a mandatory was that app is also not reasonable or controllable at all people all he concerned about their personal their privacy and data protection in what ways could this be used maliciously. well i think it's not a real problem of direct malicious use it's more the problem of assignment of data

1 to a particular mobile phone because we have to certain stand up model which is currently discussed and this model sesay that data. is send or as a coach are being sent to a central server and the server what was a sense of coats that have been sent over the past 2 or 3 weeks to smartphones that have been received from from militias or infected smartphone onerous together was a warning message and to do this however the. mail address this is and they are needed or the mobile phone numbers and are needed and this means an identification of individual person said we have another important point is that we also must ensure that the location data is being used for example that the data on which is cute are created by this app is not put together with state are coming from social networks or any other decent are stored on the smartphone. i want

to ask you a question too about the the efficacy of it being just in germany wouldn't it make more sense to develop an app for the a you as a whole. yeah i mentioned in the beginning it's very hard to create an effective app in such a strong time span and in my opinion the idea generally would be good to ask you why. the cord nation procedure would be too difficult at the moment because also the marshall said that we need a response a set iris fost possibles and there are also some data protection problems with regard to that because there's only a deeper sense behind an e.u. wide map when there is. an end of individual identification by location data again and here again we are so that our protection problems and also possibly stigmatizing individual people by this individual identification given by location

data not a perfect solution yet antennas candy kippa thank you very much for the update you're welcome you're watching the news more news at the top of the hour until then stay up to date on our website that state of any dot com i'm rebecca rate is in that and thanks very much for watching. what's the secret behind this classic. music percent. suze you hear great tollbooth lose your mind. the story behind the news.
