a plan to keep everyone safe. we have put a bill at the door each customer rings the bell and then we let them in if possible otherwise they'll have to wait for perhaps 10 to 15 minutes we put a table in a chair outside the customer considering the sun and read a magazine while they wait. by the time i took it as a hobby i unlike in other states insult land shops with over 800 square meters of sale space can open if they're divided into separate areas meaning big department stores can return to business to insects and the cloth face masks are required in shops and on public transport to the area and i have followed suit masks will soon be mandatory there too the lack of a single set of rules for all of germany has a rotating. ruby ridge most i would like to see standard rules for retailers across the whole country and i would prefer the rules to be implemented immediately in the different states that. germany's retailers are optimistic as they emerge from the

lockdown as they wait for customers they hope a new business will not lead to a surge in infections. and earlier we spoke with germany's health minister and i asked him about the european response to the pandemic yes fan insists europe will come out the other side stronger than before of course as soon as you do discuss concrete measures concrete packages there's always discussion which is quite normal because they're different interests between the 27 member states but does always when it is needed we come to a result and what is important for us as an approach of germany and of many other countries we are in the european solidarity and at the same time we don't want to have any incentives for the future that might lead to the wrong way so as to find the right balance between financial sound and to european solidarity and that is actually what we have reached so far so yes there are debates and some of them are

stressful but that is important in the end we are stronger together what if you have a product no one needs and there's nowhere to put it it becomes worthless that's what happened to oil things to their coronavirus endemic demand is low and storage facilities are full but producers are forced to keep pumping the u.s. benchmark w.t.r. has fallen into negative territory for the 1st time ever be 0 dollars a barrel and it was that this month's decision to slash output by $10000000.00 barrels per day was not enough to stave off a demand shock all triggered by a microscopic pathogen. earlier our financial correspondent in new york yes quarter walked us through this historic event of negative oil prices. that's really quite incredible but it was the great looked on that we're seeing all over the globe daily. drop by $20000000.00 barrels of plus and even if the opec plus countries

decided to cut production by roughly $9000000.00 barrels per day that still means that the amount is dropping much 1st that then supply but then you also have a little bit of a technical issue going on because the oil price that dropped so much you're on a monday that was the contract for may so now this contract will expire on. tuesday and you have a super content go that's all they called it on the oil markets meaning that the contract for june traits for so much higher than the contract for may that people and investors were just dumping the old contracts that as i mentioned will expire now on tuesday. now here's a brief run up of other coronavirus developments around the world the global death toll has now exceeded $168.00 sols and according to johns hopkins university in the u.s. the number of coronavirus related deaths and francaise surpassed $20000.00 almost

as many as in spain the u.n. refugee agency says lock downs are having a serious impact on the lives of distaste women and girls because they are now at rate a risk of gender bias based violence spain will ask the european union to set up a massive 1.5 trillion euro fund to help countries recover from the economic fallout and italy reports its 1st drop in the number of active cases and the lowest death toll in a week. and that's to get us in canada trying to determine the motive behind the worst mass shooting the country has ever experienced the gunmen had disguised himself as a police officer before going on a rampage and will come yond communities across nova scotia shooting residents and setting houses ablaze in an attack that lasted hours the shooting rampage ended at this gas station when the suspect was killed the police chased the gunmen

for 12 hours during that time he shot at least 18 people dead the hunt for the shooter spanned 100 kilometers from rural port a peak and the canadian province of nova scotia authorities warned residents to stay indoors several people including a police officer were slain at various locations. countless families are in mourning today each person who lost their family and friend and they too will need their support. the impact of this incident will extend from one end of the province to the other canadian prime minister justin trudeau paid tribute to the slain officer and the other shooting victims he also praised those providing emergency service no one man's action can build a wall between us and a better day no matter how evil. or how destructive the gunman's motive is still unknown investigators suspect that he planned the shooting spree the 51 year old denture fitter had disguised himself as

a policeman. as canadians mourn prime minister to doe pledge to continue with the planned introduction of further gun control legislation and i'm not joined by michael burgess secure journalist and global affairs analyst and fitna canada michael we heard in the report is now that canada is fanning to introduce further gun control of legislation how easy is it currently for people to buy or own firearms in the country. good to be with you well 1st of all it could inside like the united states did not happen constitutional right to bear arms and secondly it is actually very very difficult to buy to qualify for arms here having said that there is an urgent need i think all the political parties are great to tighten up the laws and also the enforcement because a lot of the guns used in previous killings mass killings here in canada have been smuggled in from the united states or perhaps brought in legally and that result so

parliament is an element to capacity right now to pass legislation because of of at 19 but the public safety minister said today that that is a priority for them now so do you think anything is actually going to change after his rampage. i think so despite the huge destruction of course by cop at 19 i think this is really really felt in canada even i mean i love on the opposite side of the country and british columbia but the village i live in for example is very similar to where a lot of the killing happened in nova scotia whereby people feel very safe a lot of people don't even lock their doors at night so in a way we feel there's a kind of innocence lost by this type of mass killing and the questions also will probably be asked is whether there is a link between. the suspect and convict 19 in the sense that there was

a lockdown in place isolation and whether that contributed whatsoever to to his motivation or to his condition yeah you mentioned that the attack happened during the coronavirus time to make which means no public gathering tomorrow morning the victims will be allowed. the laugh once off the victims going to pay tribute to them. well it's already happening across canada i just saw a video from nova scotia. people there are honoring the r.c.m.p. . r.c.m.p. officer was tragically killed so they're waving flags flags are at half mast people are posting a lot of obviously on social media but that is going to be very very very difficult at the moment to be able to gather and to more aid in fact it won't be possible and i my heart goes out to the relatives and the friends of the victims because i think their ability to to be able to mourn their loss their loved ones will will be difficult michael will sit here thank you so much my pleasure
