it's about time as the clock struck midnight and will hand one of the major last day measures was removed by in travel an impressive light show marked the occasion featuring health workers and the words heroic city others werent pausing to celebrate instead thousands of travelers flock to catch trains or take advantage of remove from roadblocks. so. i feel great the epidemic has maybe stabilized to some extent so we're able to travel now. the way it has lost a lot in this epidemic and its people have paid a big price. for the lockdown has been lifted i think we're all pretty happy here. it's the city where the coronavirus a break began many people have been trapped for more than 2 months they will leave
11:03 am
for hand to rejoin friends family and return to work. i came back before a lunar new year and plan to stay for a few days it wasn't even 2 days and it was announced to houghton would be locked down and i couldn't leave so i've been stuck here the whole time. the easing of the lockdown comes as china reported no new coronavirus deaths for the 1st time since it started publishing figures. but authorities still urge caution. since 0 new covered 19 cases does not mean 0 risk with the lifting of the knock down does not mean the lifting of epidemic prevention and control. we have been breathing a tentative signs of relief more shops are open and there are more people on the street so a return to normality and we hand appears far off the various restrictions on
11:04 am
movement within the sprawling metropolis will remain in place to guard against a 2nd wave of infection. so let's bring in correspondent family and crutch for who is joining us from beijing fabienne so it's not a complete return to normal is that you know it's far from normal and what we see here is that of course the streets are filling up but mostly are still empty restaurants some of them are open now but also empty we see for example now there are fissures again at the young sort of river that flows through the city that's normal and for many residents it feels normal but of course appropriate virus compared with that and it's not normal it on the big change today is that some people are allowed to leave the city and that means if they are have a green q.r. code every resident was given a cold depending on their health status and if you are green that means you don't belong to any health risk group then you are allowed to leave the city but within
11:05 am
the city of course many of the restrictions of movement are still in place and that's also because the responsibility for new infections in china delegated to the lower level to me and the neighborhood committee stood the property management of residential compounds and also the companies can be held accountable if you infections break out so they actually taken very seriously us to report to your neighbor committee before you eat your compound and then really tell them where you're going and it strongly encourage that you're only doing necessary settings so given all of that how are people reacting to the relaxation of the curfew. they're very euphoric very happy i mean one resident that i interviewed he told me that the moment that he that he left his compound his residential compound for the 1st time in over 2 months he took selfies and sent them to all of his friends because he really just wanted to share his joy and then he headed to the supermarket and
11:06 am
straight to the section of sweets and chocolate bars and all that because in the last 2 months of course the necessities were all taken care of he was supplied rice vegetables and even meat but you know all those sweets for his children were the 1st in over 2 months so yeah definitely it's a very emotional but actually many residents also that i spoke to they're still afraid of a 2nd wave of thanks so they are really young not really easy going out but want to stay home how high is that fair fabiana because i mean the coronavirus as is by no means to feed it as you highlight it. yeah actually it's only a matter of time until the infections will rise again we know that actually with. the testing virus testing has been increased now they're up to $12000.00 virus tests debate again so that means also there will be much more as and to much carious of the virus persons who are infected but. don't show any symptoms i think that number will increase and it's basically trial every decision that is not made
11:07 am
and can be also turned back so i think they really want to. experiment they want to try to open it will the numbers go up or not and then they can take it from one step at a time correspondent. thank you. for let's get you the latest developments on the coronavirus pandemic the global health toll from colon 1000 is now more than 82000 with more than 1400000 infections since the outbreak began british prime minister boris johnson has spent his 2nd night in intensive care he is said to be in a stable condition and not on a ventilator and us president donald trump has threatened to freeze funding to the world health organization trump accused the w.h.o. of pro china bias and a global condom shortage is looming too to the virus lockdown measures and major production hubs like malaysia the un warns of devastating public health consequences. well european finance ministers have failed to agree on
11:08 am
a rescue plan for countries hit by the coronavirus despite all night talks they are due to meet again on thursday eurozone countries are split over so-called corona bonds which with the member states guaranteeing each others' debt italy is pushing for the bonds the virus has had a devastating impact on its economy. these fisherman from fumin cino near rome the still free to go to see. unlike other italians who would like to work but on too loud too but with no restaurants open no one wants the fish they catch. everything is ball and by half sales demand and what we earn we used to go out by days a week now with the coronavirus in the lack of demand it's only 3 times. the whole of italy has been in lockdown for 5 weeks the nice sectors providing essential
11:09 am
services such as food and health care couldn't continue operating its lee was already grappling with financial problems now the virus is hitting europe's 3rd biggest economy especially hard businesses are in trouble and many people are finding it difficult to cover their living costs the government has come up with a series of rescue packages. this decree provides businesses with 400000000000 euros in liquidity 200000000000 for the domestic market and 200000000 to reinforce the export market. that weren't be enough heavily indebted its leaders calling on the e.u. for help and specifically for corona bones but rome's appeal for debt to be shared across europe is not getting through worried about the future italians also are angry. no mood is crazy and always has that if there was even.
11:10 am
if there's going to be one europe then people shouldn't just think of themselves. corona bombs have become a symbol of european solidarity it's really wants unconditional support from brussels the country is battling a crisis on 2 fronts well for more let's go to brussels where our correspondent bound to regard to standing by him back i mean we have these e.u. countries saying that they're trying to find unity in the fight against the virus but failing why it is the sheer enormity of this crisis this she amount of money that is needed to get your butt out of the economic and social coma right now 500000000000 euros on the table in 3 different financial instruments but that might not be enough the european central bank is claiming that 1.5 trillion to the 3 times of that amount is really needed
11:11 am
and not only italy but also spain and france demanding though the issuance of common that of corona bonds to finance all of this to have a limitless amount of money available. why are these countries germany the netherlands for example so opposed to these neutralized debt solutions like corona bonds for example because i mean this is a fault line which is not new. yes germany and the other more richer countries all used to be richer countries are against it because they don't know actually how they will get out of this crisis villa germany have the potential the money to guarantee all those credits with that are needed in future the german finance minister shows doesn't know it he said recently in berlin it's really a lot of money and he doesn't know so he does not want to do this commitment right now for europe because he has to save germany 1st but some are are looking at this
11:12 am
moment really as a test of the european union how much of a threat could this be this this failure to address the financial situation in the block to the e.u.'s all. if all the 1st time it's a real threat that the e.u. might fail and that the eurozone actually might fail and this the german chancellor angela merkel 2 days ago said this is the biggest test the european union has ever faced and today the spanish government not only tell you but also the spenders government says that you could fail over this if not stand together right now is not find a common finance instrument for all of us then the e.u. is not necessary anymore than to regard with the view from brussels thank you so much. it's. well they have got sand sun and also the risk of corona virus that's the rationale behind
11:13 am
a recent closure of rio de janeiro's famous beaches but it stirred up debate on how far law should actually go limiting outdoor sports some surfers are finding it hard to resist the pull of the waves. rios copacabana beach is almost empty giving him a funny concept to surf despite the state stay at home or to us but his defiance of recently got him in trouble with the police. beat me to it unfortunately i was caught surfing surfing is a crime no you don't end up with a criminal record or something as silly as that this is a patio wasn't fined but he now has to go to court to fight the charge that didn't stop the 22 year old from going back into the water just hours tomato rio's president 2nd most infected state the governor recently closed all beaches in order to stop the spread of the coronavirus. to move right now is the time to think about the collective. suppress my desire and i catch that wave metaphorically
11:14 am
speaking to serve in the near future with food to process but the surface to find the band don't see surfing causing any more harm than not the soulless sports. miser to watch i think that in the same way that people run for a hike ride bikes somebody can grab a board leave the house good to regulate to the water puddle and go home you want to walk so you put up or because it's a strong argument but surfing does run the risk of overcrowding if everyone were to come to the beaches to survive. on a lighter and brighter note now the largest brightest supermoon of 2020 rows over cities around the world hushed by the coronavirus. on tuesday sky watchers in germany's capital berlin witnessed the super bowl rising over the city's landmarks a super moon is when a full moon occurs at the point in its 28 day orbit that is closest to the earth in
