she's pleasure.

welcome to the program britain's prime minister has been moved to london hospital after his symptoms. and. rob will be deputizing for him when necessary.

developments in london to get what is the latest on the condition of. well we've had this morning from michael gove who's one of his close allies and the cabinet to see is a senior cabinet minister and he has also said that johnson is not on a ventilator of course this would have been very very worrying indeed but he's still on oxygen support so still a very serious situation i think a lot of british people are really waiting anxiously to get further news from from how the prime minister is doing because of course it's taken a turn for the worse quite quickly when he was admitted to hospital after downing street maintain for over a week that he was in charge of a fast and he was still leading the government then being admitted to hospital and then shortly after into intensive care so very worrying time here in britain at this time of crisis and of course the prime minister's admission to intensive care

leaves foreign secretary dominic robb in charge tell us a bit more about mr rob and the tasks before him. well dominic robb was one of 4 as johnson's colleague and a vote leave campaign so that really is what brought him prominence here in the u.k. and then after boris johnson became prime minister he was made foreign secretary but of course he hasn't been on this role for a very long time and the same goes for a lot of the other cabinet colleagues a lot of them have been allies of course johnson and the vote live campaign but not all of them very experienced as far as government affairs are concerned so we've had michael gove's this morning the cabinet office minister and he said that dominic robb is making decisions collectively so it's still the cabinet and not just on the new grad who is in charge but we've also had from one conservative m.p.

that there needs to be more clarity he said there needs to be more clarity when it comes to national security so clearly this difficult moment some questions are being raised as to how these decisions really important decisions about for example how it's going on with the looked at how the government is tackling continues to tackle the crisis of the coronavirus how these decisions are being made inside the government and how is the tackling the core of our to spend to make there's been criticism for instance on the slow to a lot of testing for frontline medical staff. still a lot of criticism and we're still also hearing from doctors and nurses that they don't have enough protective equipment in the hospitals so no testing for medical staff not enough testing and it's the ambitions that the government has to to roll out the testing quickly that just hasn't come to fruition just yet so i criticism as to why this is also slow in the u.k.

that criticism still remains a good muslim london thank you very much for that. now let's get you the latest developments related to the global coronavirus pandemic japan has declared a state of emergency in tokyo and 6 other regions to combat the outbreak japan has nearly 4000 confirmed cases of a covert 1092 deaths so far john has reported no new deaths from the corona virus over the past 24 hours and 32 new cases the country reported were people who have done from overseas israel has announced a complete lockdown over the upcoming boss of a holiday here in germany the number of confirmed gov virus infections has passed 100000 the 4th highest case load in the world and germany's infectious disease institute says it's too early to tell if there's been an easing off in new cases of corona virus the number of new infections rose again after 4

straight days of drops chancellor angela merkel has said it's also too early to think about lifting locked under sections as european union faces of the biggest test in its history. back in the chancellery after 2 weeks in quarantine and 3 negative current virus tests german chancellor angela merkel made her 10. students aren't out of my nose in my opinion europe the european union is facing its biggest test since its foundation populations are also facing a huge health challenge with all the e.u. member states are being affected on varying levels we're all affected and opened up and so it must be in everyone's interest and it is in germany's interest that europe should emerge strongly from this test. as merkel voiced her concerns for europe on monday her governments crisis group agreed to

institute a 2 week orange for people returning to germany from a full 10th all german nationals e.u. citizens and other longtime residents who return after several days abroad will have to quarantine themselves for 14 days there are however exceptions. including seasonal workers in agriculture commuters travelling to work truck drivers delivering goods and of course medical professionals. germany also announced on monday the latest extension to its $1.00 trillion euros coronavirus crisis package a guarantee of 100 percent loans to small and medium sized businesses up 280-0000 euros. these middle companies a widely seen as the heart of the german economy i was with the inside of noted anyone who was economically active last year those who registered turnover those

who recorded normal economic activity and made a profit they can get 3 months turnover as a loan from the bank which in this case will be 100 percent financially underwritten by us. that means the banks will not have to do normal financial risk assessments this 100 percent guarantee means the process will be completed very quickly as this gun show. now germany's european neighbors to a looking to berlin to see whether americans concerns but also turn into financial support for their. economic rescue. talks in how to stave off. desperate to go. but this fierce debate over. the scale of the looming economic

crisis is hard to fathom in europe like in much of the rest of the world empty streets and shuttered shops show just how dramatically business has ground still. national governments in the 19 member eurozone have been introducing stimulus packages aimed at keeping businesses their employees afloat. now another question has arisen how to pay for it all at present each country in the eurozone is responsible for its own debt this means that a country with a poor credit rating like you has to pay a higher interest rate than a lesson destination like germany the idea behind the so-called corona bonds is to cool debt instead this would ease borrowing costs for a country like italy to increase the burden for more credit worthy nations like germany the idea has predicted 2 internal wrangling in the euro zone with france and spain in favor of the plan germany and the netherlands against even if

there were a consensus experts say implementing such a scheme could take months or even years. studios what. if it cannot. this is the biggest test the u.s. ever faced so how much pressure. to. his the pressure on germany is huge also within the german political spectrum there are many political parties and politicians here in germany that are pushing the jug of government urging the government to agree to these corona bonds as they are called but we have to caution that it's not a matter of germany giving money we are talking here about loans that are to be issued and about germany and other countries all countries in the european union guaranteeing those loans so it's not actually money that's being kind of pushed

across the table it's a guarantee for loans but because the german economy is by far the strongest in europe if these loans should end up not being repaid or in some sense getting difficult it will be germany that ends up in some sense guaranteeing these loans together with other countries so it's that guarantee that the germans are concerned about the german foreign minister and to the economics minister have recently published opinion pieces in the series of european newspapers offering their alternative they're saying that a common european stability mechanism which is already in place should be used and that the rules for the for giving that money to various countries should be relaxed so germany is hoping in some sense to get out of this bind and still be able to help other countries that was a political correspondent hunt's brand speaking to us from a bottom of the studios in berlin here are some of the other headlines making news

that could be a nightmare but the problem is not nobody knows when the 1st race is going to be held of course it helps that we can help hold races without spectators is that will allow some races to happen sooner because that will allow us to like the limitations of not having more than 100 people in one place or some like that races can still be held so that's a little advantage apart from that the biggest issue at the moment is the financial situation for some of the smaller teams because the f one circus needs all teams to participate if 2 or 3 smaller teams drop out then 'd it's not really a great sport anymore is a strong not enough teams competing another not even the grid so that is the main focus at the moment to help the smaller teams financially and you can watch that entire interview with nico rosberg on our your true page you're watching news from member you could call to get the latest headlines on the beat up look up or on our web site if you don't have
