but here to.

the. crisis. welcome to the program europe is facing a severe economic shock because of the. last night signed off on an emergency rescue package to help deal with the economic fallout of the crisis there also principal to set up a fund to secure the blocks long term recovery but divided on how this should be financed. the video conference was the 4th such meeting since the virus hit e.u.

countries and expectations were low e.u. member states have so far failed to agree on how to help those economies hit hardest by the pandemic but after just a few hours the council president emerged emphasizing the country's common interests this won't do much this put into our societies and serious through there will be of each e.u. member states depends on there will be of the whole of the e.u. we are all in this together michel said leaders have agreed to task the e.u. commission with linking a recovery plan to the use next long term budget a u commission president on the line called for unity unless we acted decisively and collectively the recovery will not be symmetric and divergences between member states will increase. speaking to press in berlin after the meeting german

chancellor angela merkel also stressed what this meant for europe's biggest economy . that's the difficulty for germany it means we have to expect higher contributions for the e.u. next budget. it's clear we need some kind of financial instrument or recovery plan. or recovery fund recovery fun and i want to be very clear here a collective response is also in germany's interest in. berlin has expressed a willingness and recent days to offer more aid to other struggling a euro khana means and eurozone finance ministers had already agreed on the principle of an e.u. recovery fund the big problem the size and nature of this new debt instrument has yet to be decided but after thursday's meeting italian prime minister just sepic on to hailed the progress being made. the most

important thing is that this urgent and necessary instrument has been confirmed it led to calls for our initiative and the letter signed by the countries was very important an instrument like this was absolutely unthinkable until now. despite the price details on the planet spots and many suspect the e.u. commission's toughest negotiations yet to come and the dakotas on the band joins me from brussels now for more band what exactly have european leaders agreed to. by their leaders decided to have this emergency fund 500000000000 euros which consists of loans the member states can get from the european institutions they also agreed on 3 trillion euros that are pledged by the national member states for

their own national economies and on top of that they want to establish a recovery fund worth around one trillion to $1.00 trillion but it is not decided how this recovery fund will be financed and who will at the end get the money lots of detail have to be worked out but leaders stressed that they want to show solidarity but everybody of cause things for his old coffers no more running in the run up to do some meeting called on the bones well being touted as a possible way to fund this long term recovery fund so is this idea effectively dead. yes and no there is still the concept of common debt that somehow has to be taken to to finance this endeavor but this will not be named corona bonds anymore because many countries like germany say this concept is that in the vault but the commission now has the

top that you commission now has to come up with some model of finding sing and comment that certainly the player owes you commission may take some loans get some loans on the financial markets and hand them to the member states but this is not decided the member states and the states like italy vaunt gran's loans about other member states like say only loans in the making you can't get grants just money for free but even those loans or grants or whatever the case may be need to be secured against something and even when you're talking about that are you looking at increases in you budgets i mean that is something that was being discussed. most of the member states and you commission no faith. through to leverage this loans through the common e.u.

budget which is that which is trusted and the budget is but the budget is too small for that right now so they have to increase this common budget and that means that number of states also have to pay more into this coming budget you commission wants to double this budget in the next 2 or 3 years that means 300000000000 euros have to come from the mess aids 25 percent of that from germany but also 13 percent italy so far so it's the question how will this be financed and with a member state in the south actually do that and also the member states in the east have to pay more than they do now and they are not willing to do that as of now so lots of work that excited to be in may and this new recovery fund shall kick in next year you know a correspondent band do you get in brussels thank you very much all that let's go to frankfurt now to see how the markets are looking at this of finance and correspondent just to delaney joins me on the line now. brussels wants to extend

economic help in the long term but there is no clarity yet on what form that can take how will markets seeing this. well expectations going into this meeting were already pretty low but investors i've talked to are pretty disappointed by how far apart e.u. leaders still seem to be on this issue you know the didn't and at the meeting with complete loggerheads they agreed in principle to this recovery they also agreed on the 500000000000 euro package that will help plug some gaps in the economy particularly for countries like italy that don't have as much room in their national budget to respond to the coronavirus impacts but it's still very unclear how they're really going to proceed with this bigger one trillion dollar stimulus package and at the same time all of this economic damage is continuing to pile up

in the euro zone that you commission is saying they could contract by 15 percent this year so there's really a lot of urgency to make some sort of decision on a broader longer term recovery package and investors are just not very optimistic right now they're separate the job of the post to do is a stall still below used from the drive to close as well to your thing. i think it's too early to call this the long term recovery of the dax opened up here in frankfurt down about 2 percent so there's still a lot of volatility we've had fleeting moments of optimism about central bank stimulus and recovery efforts but every week we just seem to see an unprecedented decline and business activity or oil and negative territory things like unemployment. unemployment it claims in the u.s. of 202030 1000000 so there's still a lot of volatility ahead for global markets so it's

a dilemma thank you very much for the. and here's a look at some of the latest developments in the coronavirus pandemic the global death toll from code 19 has a past 190000 according to johns hopkins university the number of confirmed cases is approaching 3000000 china has reported nor new coronavirus deaths for the 9th straight day and just 6 new cases 2 of those were brought from all seasons with full of domestic cases indonesia will temporarily ban domestic and international air and sea travel starting this week it's already banned movement from cities to the provinces during the ramadan holiday period and hungary plans to replace its lockdown which included a blanket curfew on the entire population with more targeted measures from may the new rules are to focus on those at high risk u.s. president donald trump has raised eyebrows off to say people infected with the coronavirus should be treated with ultraviolet light and disinfectant trump made

the remarks during a white house press briefing following a presentation by a government official suggesting heat and sunlight could weaken the virus here's what donald trump had to say supposing we hit the body with a tremendous whether it's valid or just very powerful light and i think you said that has him a check that you're going to test it and then i said supposing you brought the lady you can which you can do it through the scanner. in some other way and i think you said you got a test so i was interested in writing that i see the disinfectant but not. in a minute one minute and is there a way we can do something. by injection. or almost a cleaning. trump's ideas were dismissed immediately by doctors present at the briefing but nonetheless the pandemic is pushing u.s.

measures calling them job killers among other things and that is a rhetoric that doesn't only resonate with his hard line supporters it also appeals to those brazilians who are more worried about an economic crisis than about a health crisis freedom although fear that's the core message from florida serves here in the u.s. they are popping up across the country to rally against stay at home orders they are a small part of the population but they're getting a lot of attention and they seem to have the backing of president trump he's defended and encouraged them even though they're flouting the social distancing policy of his own government due to several measures currently in place here in germany to try and curb the covert 19 virus several basic rights have been restricted including the freedom to movement the freedom to demonstrate and the freedom to worship german chancellor angela merkel herself said it was one of the hardest decisions of her career to limit people's freedoms but at the same time

germany's constitutional court has made it clear that such restrictions on basic rights can only be accepted for a limited strict period of time at the same time judges have also reiterated that there can be no blanket ban on the right to demonstrate. kate brady there in berlin we're going to some sports news now the president of world athletics sebastian coe has told you that athletes who would have missed the talk of the big this year because of doping bans shouldn't be allowed to compete next year the postponement of the games means athletes who have served bans for doping offenses this year will be cleared to take part in 2021 that's because under current truths doping bans of based on time periods and not events cole said what's fair and what's legally acceptable sometimes differ i've always believed that athletes that hurt being caught don't. damage the school it damaged the ready. and that's why

the work of the athlete integrity unit is so important why not try taxing clean athletes this is important only getting rid. of the cheats and yes i would rather not be in a position where those athletes are able to compete again having not really so. competition lately that is extremely difficult and the invites we have taken on that is that i'm afraid it would be in a very litigious world the open to challenge germany's professional soccer league say they're ready to restart the bundesliga season on me the 9th in empty stadiums pending government approval it would mark the 1st return of a major european football league during the coronavirus pandemic. the german football league wants to restart the bundesliga season with games behind closed doors and they have

a powerful motive broadcasters have agreed to pay out around 300000000 euros in t.v. money if the season resumes. duty knew it often for thanks to the agreement the $36.00 1st and 2nd division clubs will be assured the money they need until june the 30th. it would be a lifeline for cash strapped clubs like cologne. it was important used today a lot of clubs have money problems and making partial payments now and payments in full when play resumes would send an important message. games without spectators may be the only way to stem the financial damage during the coronavirus pandemic. season doesn't resume or it stops again searching mechanisms would ensure the money is repaid. that would threaten the survival of

a number of clubs and it would jeopardize the livelihood of around 56000 people who work in german professional football. a change of pace now. at the age of 99 captain tom war has become a global social media phenomenon the british world war 2 veteran has made headlines for raising funds for health workers treating coronavirus patients so far the band has attracted donations from around the world a total of over $32000000.00 euros and rising. to speak it's kept more one week before he turns 100. $100.00 laps of the guardian for $1000.00 pounds that was captain tom moore's plan to raise money to support workers in britain's national health service but in the process he won the hearts of many around the world and far surpassed his fundraising target by millions of pounds speaking to
