it came out of. this it is indeed abuse live from berlin u.s. president donald trump lays out a road map for recovery from the economic pain of the coronavirus trump says state governors should set the pace in a phased approach to getting things back to normal also coming out. a garbage collector here in berlin gets a surprise call from a top national politician out of the country is thinking stop on the front line in the fight against the voters. and our gets a corn make over a russian facebook group is recruiting text partners and household props to

reimagine some classics on campus. next by sir welcome to the program. u.s. president donald trump says healthy americans will be able to get back to work as soon as local conditions allow trying to set up plans for a phased return to normal daily life in the united states the reopening would be done one careful step at a time but he said states that are free of the virus can open in his words literally tomorrow but my administration is issuing new federal guidelines that will allow governors to take a phased and deliberate approach to reopening their individual states i've dealt with them now a long time and we've had a great relationship democrat and republican the relationship has been good this

strategy is based on hard verifiable 'd data. and corresponds to find simmons joins us now from washington for more now stephen can you break down the president's plan for us. sure so most of fort lee those guidelines are not mandatory those are guidelines that's really really important but it is a 3 phase plane and the most important phase is the 1st place the face why because phase 2 and 3 just expands what's happening in according and as wished by the trumpeters ration in phase one and that is that every state every mayor every local government needs to make sure that there is for 14 days no increase in infection so the infections rate has to be stable or or go down if possible number 2 of course in this face teleworking still not mandatory but recommended who can work from home

should work from home the biggest thing here is reopening the economy on a micro or a local level and that means large menus can reopen according to the president larger venues large enough to be absolutely strict on social distancing lots restaurants even lots gyms and that is i guess the the biggest takeaway from this again phase 2 and 3 will increase will loosen those regulations a little bit more those not mandatory but suggested regulations a little bit more it is all in the hands of the governors and the and the local authorities now and the big question is how do you do this without large testing that's the key now testing testing testing otherwise you have no idea where this virus is and how far it infiltrated and got into society and all your big challenges ahead that let's just push pause here every one of the beginning of the week to understand things if you don't mind on monday trump claimed total authority

to open state economies now he says it's up to the governors so what happens. you know there was a little bit of a king donald moment there i don't know what happened well of course experts and political observers here they have a good guess what happened is somebody or a lot of people must have told the president that that's absolutely unconstitutional he has not absolute authority on telling anybody what to do this states the governors are this is a federalist country here it's a union united states of america that means the governors are in charge of actually taking those recommendations that's why again recommendation not a mandatory. rule or a law or something the feds could or could install there they are in charge of the local governments and even down to the mayors they're in charge and. made a 360 or 180 degrees change to what he just was portraying himself on

a monday still being in absolute power and with absolute authority that's not the case still though i think we sense a keenness on trump's part too to bring things back to normal are people in washington saying this is partly because of elections in november. i mean you're going to hear this in the next few hours to come all that a lot of people will suggest that saying look the push to the pedal here the speeding up of possible loosening of what worked so far even if numbers are on the rise still works so far because the curse go down the social distancing and those restrictions pushing those away really quickly is of course beneficial for donald trump because he has of course in mind to come out of this stronger and stronger as possible than he was before right before november when it's time for presidential elections of course going fast brings

a lot of risks as we've learned another country stephens hymens in washington thank you for that. and here's a quick look now at the developments concerning corona virus around the world the global number of infections has topped 2100000 most are in europe nearly 150000 people have died new york has extended stay at home instructions for another month the city is preparing to use empty hotel rooms for quarantine brazil's president has fired his health minister after clashes over containing the virus louise and he came and favored social isolation while both scenario has played down the threat and the german state of bavaria says munich's annual october beer festival is unlikely to go ahead this year and staying here in germany talk is also turning to how the law down can be gradually eased the crisis has turned the spotlight on society's unsung heroes health workers supermarket cashier and delivery drivers

among others as germany starts to move back to normality leaders are highlighting one message that solidarity is more important than ever. an unusual gesture of appreciation i don't know how the hello mr bush greetings mr president. how this video shows german president to steinmeyer making phone calls to citizens who are working tirelessly during the coronavirus crisis the heroes of everyday life these are the people who keep germany going despite the lockdown the calls them by the president's office i meant to show solidarity with those on the front line trench collectors nurses caretakers doctors emergency workers. i don't know if i can do a little bit to ensure that recognition is given to you and your colleagues once normality has returned. that is why i'm calling.

such a dorm bush a trash collector from berlin says he's enjoying a level of appreciation he's never experienced before. i think in this time solidarity is the most important thing there is the importance of solidarity expression during the qur'an a pandemic is also underlined by the german foreign minister and a video conference with dozens of his colleagues heikal must have a clear message of cohesion. you know this kind of battling the virus as an international task and that no country alone will be able to defeat this virus was too busy. ma said germany is backing the world health organization and the fight against coronavirus and criticize donald trump's decision to stop u.s. payments to the w.h.o. the. only way it should work is and remains the backbone of our fight against the pandemic if you will hope so it makes no sense at this time to call into question the competence or the importance of the w.h.o.

this is the worst possible moment to do that to undermine it would be similar to throwing the pilot out of a plane while it's in the year would be completely irresponsible. even if germany is slowly preparing to ease corona restrictions the global pandemic is far from over. and let's have a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world. bangladesh says it has rescued nearly 400 starving revenger refugees who had been drifting for weeks at sea in an overcrowded fishing boat officials say they were trying to reach malaysia at least 2 dozen people have died during the voyage. ukrainian forces forces and russian backed separatists in eastern ukraine have exchanged more than 30 prisoners captured during the 6 year war in the region. is part of a deal struck last year that aims to end the conflict which has claimed more than
