this is the news from delhi and wednesday is the right time to start easing a coronavirus lockdown as an easter weekend in germany gets politicians debating the issues but close german states the up sound should be extended and even tied to the program. helping those least able to help themselves in argentina the country has been hit twice over satisfy a recession and now by the coronavirus. hello
12:01 pm
i'm christine would welcome to the program politicians in germany have been debating when it will be safe to stross easing the coronavirus walk down here the current restrictions are due to enter next sunday and a macro will this week stall consultations about what to do next at the same time an opinion poll by you gov has found that most germans think the lockdown should be extended beyond next sunday and perhaps even tightened. easter in berlin most people tried to respect the distancing rule and get out and enjoy the perfect spring weather pollsters say there's still broad support for the restrictions but some politicians are warning that there are limits you but i'm soft some footsie. people are willing to make sacrifices as long as they see the prospect of a return to normal we need a timetable that shows a responsible path towards normalcy site experts propose
12:02 pm
a gradual end to the restrictions daycare centers schools and universities could reopen as soon as possible as could shops and stores nightclubs would follow some time later restaurants could reopen with increased space between tables while sporting events trade fairs and conventions would be the last to open. a hole in something we're better prepared step by step we can now restart social life not an immediate return to the way things were in february but we can't keep doing what we're doing now either there have to be some changes after easter. a study by the viola just henrik should take over for some cause for optimism he found relatively high levels of immunity to the virus in heinsberg the town that saw the 1st big break in germany but others warn against moving too fast you're missing the truly go in we have to live with the situation see how infection rates develop above all we have to make sure that we don't endanger what we've achieved by promising too much and loosening the restrictions too quickly was of course but when you mention
12:03 pm
. how much self isolation can a society endure how long can germany's highly complex economy survive the shutdown political leaders making life and death decisions face a terrible dilemma. grownup society i think it will reduce the pressure on policymakers when people see a conscious effort to discuss how the returns normality should be organized organised you know it's clear that it'll take some time before germany can return to its accustomed way of life but knowing that the end is in so it would help. more on this i'm joined by the lebanese political correspondent brady hi kate so the german government has called this easter holiday a fork in the road that decides whether the restrictions can be relaxed what do you think's likely to happen well certainly there were some murmurs of cautious optimism here in germany last week by from the german
12:04 pm
chancellor angela merkel herself as well as the health minister that the curve here in germany does indeed appear at least to be flattening in flattening and about half of the of the confirmed cases of coronavirus here in germany now which is around $126000.00 in total about half of those have people have now recovered so say that is some sense of cautious optimism here but those restrictions that have been in place now here in germany since march 22nd particularly when it comes to school closures closures of nonessential shops also in place until this coming sunday but we are now expected to see some progress made this week when angela merkel herself discusses a possible relaxation of those restrictions with the state premiers of germany 16 states here on wednesday. let's talk about the relaxation of these measures what would that it's a plan look like. well it's certainly according to what
12:05 pm
experts have been suggesting so far it seems that we can certainly if there is any relaxation of those restrictions a toll in the coming week or so that it will be very slow and very gradual and that we've heard from several experts groups around germany and one group of experts has already reported they presented a paper to the german chancellor and they are based in one of the most hard hit regions of germany in north rhine-westphalia and then suggesting as well a very slow very gradual return to some sense of normalcy here in germany so we could perhaps see at least some students slowly returning to school we could see some restaurants perhaps reopening albeit most likely with some restrictions in place as to how many a few might be allowed to sit next to each other but of course these are the customs that we've become really used to in the last few weeks it comes to rigorous
12:06 pm
hand washing and making sure that we are keeping our social distance from each other those are going to certainly be in place for a long long time to come before you came on air i was quoting the you gov poll that talks about people in germany being very keen on keeping the restrictive measures in place is that really the case people are keen on the isolation and social distancing here kristie. well there is this that's really all quite interesting given that over the weekend as well there were. several studies into mobile data it certainly seems that people are getting itchy feet here in germany that itching to get out and about again and it certainly seems that people have become more active over the bank holiday weekend that said at the same time all for she said people did seem at least over the long easter weekend to be complying with the restrictions but of course i think people do also bear in mind here in germany that there are still these warnings particular they from the world health organization for example against
12:07 pm
a relaxation of these restrictions too soon because of course that could potentially result in a spike in the number of coronavirus cases here in germany and could even send us back to square one with even stricter measures being reimplemented here kate brady i give. you the latest developments on the coronavirus spain is a knollenberg his in the industry and construction to return to work off a 2 week shutdown south korea is to send 600000 coronavirus testing kits to the united states following a request from u.s. president donald trump the locked down in liberia capital monrovia got off to a hectic start at the weekend as some police offices used bastions against residents and japan's prime minister shinzo abi is stay at home message has drawn angry reactions on social networks. now the coronavirus has driven much of the world's population into lockdown it's created a lot of strays but even in the worst situations there's often something to smile
12:08 pm

12:13 pm
national bankruptcy the homeless are fending for themselves as they did before corona. during the lockdown they have no place to which they can retreat and donations are scarce. look we've always lived in fear and hunger corona is secondary to us. argentina's retirees are also part of the corona high risk group but many of them have to line up together to collect their pension money. haven't received money in a month i don't know how far in debt i am and i have to pick up my pension in person. argentina and its people are facing even more difficult times the coronavirus state of emergency is far from over. and you're upstate i'll be back at the top of the hour with more news before we go we want to show you this and tell you that andrea bocelli sang in
