this is. easy. and that plenty of restrictions must stay. on its. people.

and while the. u.s. believes it's been created in a research lab. welcome to the program it's been described as a cautious 1st step germany has begun to ease its lockdown restrictions some shops and schools are being allowed to reopen although the rules where the from state to state it comes off the public health expert said the virus was under control. by 1775 to nearly 142000 according to the rubble. for infectious diseases it's the 2nd consecutive day the number of new infections

has fallen. you know how there has been following developments and joins me from our parliament to studios mean that germany is allowing a few businesses to new york one from today which ones exactly and what is a rationale behind the rule is that shops that are no bigger than 800 square meters can reopen they have to have some hygiene and social distancing measures in place bookshops and car dealerships and bike shops can also reopen regardless of their size as far as the rationale is concerned last week the government said here in germany that the virus was now manageable and of course there had been a lot of pressure on the government to return to some form of normality because experts are expecting the german g.d.p. to shrink considerably and to throw and that the virus is throwing germany into recession that is the big fear of course and so the government did say that

restaurants and shops other shops etc like gyms and can't open and this is already taking a big toll on for example the hospitality sector like reso in this report that comes from what is normally a popular tourist destination. one amende is beaches are usually only this empty in winter but this spring the coronavirus lockdown has prevented germans from other states from vacationing here on the baltic coast cafe owners francisco and materials charles sure are longing to reopen. it's trying as if we had nothing but we don't know when to stop us we can only earn money when we're open. it's the same story across the country the pandemic has crippled the hospitality industry a 3rd of businesses face bankruptcy according to the hotels and restaurants association it's calling for government support that's

a good tip it would seem to me if it's true that would include reducing sales tax for restaurants and providing direct financial help to hotel and it's with turnover down by 10000000000 euros with the worst off sector and unlike other sectors there's no chance of catching up on that night ahead in the horrific to the various state premier marco surtur is pushing for the reduction of the sales tax and the german economy ministry says it will consider the idea the finance ministry is considering help for the restaurant sector on the baltic sea they're keeping their fingers crossed 300 beach chairs are waiting for tourists. the beach chair is protected zone like a little cornered center you sit in a chair and you have absolutely no contact with your neighbors it's green duff for now all the baltic businesses can do is wait there's still no word on when the beach bars cafes and restaurants can reopen but as of now normally for the

restaurants and bars on the ball to cost at least about you know what about schools across germany what is the decision on that. most peoples were returned to school in 2 weeks' time so in early may but you have to remember that education is an issue that is decided at regional level at the lender level and the 16 federal states that we have here in germany did decide on this broad timeline but some states decided to vary and so here in berlin for example some students are taking that of the 2 exams which is the degree that they need to qualify for university but you know across germany what is the general mood about the with authorities have handled the pandemic. there was a big nationwide poll a few weeks ago that suggested that the vast majority of germans are overwhelmingly in favor of the measures that the government has taken in fact this is the most

popular government since they spall actually fest dieted so in a couple of decades the the biggest popularity for german government and of course also uncle americal has received massive support from voters across the board by the way also from opposition parties and from supporters of opposition parties she's a scientist by trade and germans do seem to appreciate the fact that she does listen to experts and that she can actually explain the reasoning behind her decision making also in press conference is she can really get down to the nitty gritty details of what's going on and where we would be if we didn't take these current measures then of course there's also a certain degree of flexibility because germany is a federal state and so some decisions can be taken at regional level like the state of saxony for example as make the wearing the face masks mandatory because they believe it's the right thing to do and last but not least some germans have already received cash in hand so to say self-employed people and smaller companies with up

to 10 employees received a lump sum of 5000 euros when the fest restrictions came into force. let's just pick up on the point about for us mosques there's been there's a considerable amount of debate in germany as to whether this should be made by the tree to be worn in public or whether we're on that. there is only an official recommendation by the federal government so there is no mandatory face mask. issue that is not mandatory nationwide but like i say in some states you do have to wear face masks when you want to go shopping or use public transport the government reasons that masks us still in short supply they are encouraging companies to produce face masks here in germany but for as long as it's not widely available they say they need to focus on people who really need those must've protect themselves when they're at work and that's above all health care now you know how

to thank you very much for those updates another country moving to ease its restrictions is india after imposing the world's biggest lockdown governing body point 3000000000 people the government has now given the go ahead for states with no new cases to relax their restrictions agriculture and some industries are able to meet social distancing and hygiene norms will be allowed to reopen but for much of the country to lock down we continue for weeks to come prime minister narendra modi has urged indians to be patient warning that the virus does not see cult race religion or color cost creed language hope or does. that statement on the prime minister comes as a criticism grows that the government isn't doing enough to stop the vilification and stigmatize version of muslims over the coronavirus the targeting of muslims as i does of course at 19 began mainly after a number of cases were linked to

a meeting of an islamic organization in the capital delhi in early march on friday we also noted author and rights activist the roy how the situation was for muslims in india. well i see the security in the purity jet is so good you know because the drugs again not to do this i mean since this go here muslims are who lynched was i'm sorry been hunted down but now the statement until he can we this is you know this has led to you know government policies on st mary's been hear it everywhere and there are the it comes with the threat of extreme violence not including. national spokesman for the winning bidder if you don't know from a deli mr going to welcome to the roy saying that the situation for muslims is approaching genocidal would you agree is false is

baseless it's even i don't use that. so let's look at the speech on. the leaky job and. already know that. that resulted in them not solving problems and they are today and this is all reporting. on. when the i checked it would be nice commuting i mean literally just a kid in the quad in time that misses orders to school they've been i'm dressing i'm getting your boots off. and sometimes exhort results forgive me if you're living out in the courts have reviewed by going to. not at all in fact that's not. all that by the way that i really. happened in which is the capital city it happened and it can all go on in many

other cities so every state thing which is the problem does not mean that the. second is let's look at the comments they come from the least in private as. we as . everyone irrespective of whether they able to for us or oz to do you should look towards equality i understand that but in so many the prime minister apologies for cutting in right now but then by mr modi also issued a statement along the same lines if you mention he said the government does not see race religion cost creed language or border before striking these are his words i mean if that if there is no problem with muslims and if all these reports of the harassment of faults and baseless why did the prime minister of india have to make these statements so let me 1st miss roy has all the. channels i don't. generally speak against the situation in india so let's look at

the real situation also as we have spoken as we speak 320000000 indian citizens otus of the oil have received money into their bank accounts enabled. i understand i understand that so if you're no good for his internet mr dorner but you have been going on to my question one question i asked her is if everything is hunky dory with muslims in india why did the prime minister of india have to make a statement saying that covert 90 does not see various religion before striking. and he and i did each ustream. that he only need to cooperate with the law we need to do so in the interests it is not as if this. was christian. so if you break down. we have our court and then i'll give you another. of

a look on one of the social media from the muslim community eat this is god it. is not protected by court he himself is not effected by. this irrespective whether you are muslim christian but this. really needs to observe these things because providers is not. used to speak about social media i mean you yourself have a big following on social media lots of your colleagues in the views are being a big followings on social media for example. there is also all the different he has called the members of the group 10 lists but with a focus who is a famous wrestler who is also very popular in social media and a member of the abuser p. has linked the spread of corona virus to the big huge amount this muslim organisers and company mishra again he basically said that members of this group infecting people and i attempted to kill indians by spreading coronavirus i mean is this

really what the b.g.p. intends to do is that the game plan what would you say to this thing. you may need to hit me out because that sweet questions lead in one. article 90 odd constitution i also respect your dream and it incorporates everyone who has a point and that includes destroy as they do in one of the other needs. number 2 which we got to the members of the public each telling me on what's going on what civilizational stats on what standards of the local infected people spitting on to help him book is to be taken as somebody ought. to gays receive it's all female nurses and be obscene about it i mean we need to abandon my debit attacks look at the video also or. do go on hope locos and doctors including almost all of looking in respectable foss community we don't religion so what you're seeing is that point

so what you're saying is that india is a prime minister responsible for the people of 19. once and then i get an expression these points which if point a bit of it or robotic might he be. as a fox in more importantly as the government not an action act policy distinguishes all make 2nd part of it between any good citizen. race religion creed open that will deny he does say but the fact of the members of the beezer be on saying what they are saying what would you say to that i was my christian assholes as also the constitution says that. if you can fix generalizing it to the whole area and also be executing it to the gods so these exactly you have to take it with a pinch of salt i speak. i speak yeah tell you what is the goal and i lost you to

show me a real example or maybe my house was too much what i see through my house would you really examples of. those are fair parties saying what they are saying you. know it's a viewpoint of her own exhaust and offer that there have been attacks against muslims muslims distributing food have been stopped a lot of other muslims have been attacked in karnataka for instance these examples are there but i'd just like to ask you one overall question just to sort of reassure the viewers who are watching this broadcast are you saying that muslims under muslims in india can feel safe in india under the current burdens or more the government and i was just an example. in the states which is. killing all priests saw those well at least 5. ogham and of course the state has taken action and the government in that it has

always. essentially the victim has to get the protection. in respects it will be hindu muslim or any other action has to be against that right also in place in just government school every year and every indian. interests all their religion their region they cross they cheated and that's why it is not seen all of a policy or a. company that has ever been similar. and that's my challenge surely. there's other there's a number of comebacks to that but then we have to leave it there for the time being now to go to making it clear he's a lawyer making the case for the view to be thinking about for joining us. now here's a quick roundup of current of what is developments around the world the global death toll has now exceeded $165000.00 according to johns hopkins university in the united states new zealand says it's extending its strict lockdown conditions for

another week and china says it has had 0 deaths for the 3rd day in a row. most countries accept that the corona virus originated in china but how was it transferred to 2 people some news organizations in the u.s. are suggesting it could have started in a research lab in the city or and fox news goes there was president donald trump is 1st among them china however says the virus spread in a food market and scientists agree. chinese authorities say this is the source of a new coronavirus the food markets in wu han been unable to track down the 1st person to half a virus meaning is always insisted and clear. some american media outlets and even the u.s. president himself have come up with their own theories they claim the virus escaped from a laboratory and by mistake. is it a mistake they got out of control or was greatly it's

a big difference between those 2 in either event they should have let us go and we asked to go in very early and they didn't want to and i think there were embarrassed as as yet no evidence to support such claims but to lead cables show u.s. officials had to raise concerns about safety issues in the last 2 years ago is director ses his stuff take every precaution to be looking there's no way that the virus came from us we have strict safety regulations in place concerning our research our lab is safe. china has been accused of downplaying of the operate and of underreporting deaths 2 days ago had raised the official death toll in the city by 50 percent beijing has hit the back of fear is coming out of washington. they are enjoying to focus attention on the possible source of the virus every attentive server knows that they are trying to cause confusion to distract and to

shift responsibility. thank you very much that is a clear dig at u.s. president john would trump who is being criticized at home for his handling of the crisis relations between the u.s. and china was strained before he operate now vo very even worse. now to some of the other stories making news around the world in the u.s. state of washington some 2 and a half 1000 protesters against the. democratic governor jay inslee the rally in the state capital of libya defied a ban on gatherings of 50 people. in canada a man wearing a police uniform has killed at least 16 people including a police officer in the eastern province of nova scotia the gunman went on a. shooting people. he's now dead after the trees on busy highways. heating economists are warning the effect of the global economy could be was than
