right. world. documentary storage area. for you. to get out of the. world. this is a very nice life from poland saving europe's economies from the coronavirus e.u. needed has approved a gigantic emergency rescue package to protect jobs and businesses but they deferred discussions on a long term recovery that is also coming up. the coronavirus wreaks havoc on the u.s. economy will meet some of the 26000000 americans who've lost their work in income

over the past 5 pleats. and germany plans to restructure the industry to stock a main but not everyone wants a kickoff in the middle of a pandemic. class we spoke to the british fund raising phenomenon captain tom moore he's raised a staggering sum so he's country's health care system and the world war 2 veteran ses we should stay strong during this crisis. and we will get it 1st so there's no doubt look wrong there will be ruled out on to the drug charges the sun will be sure they were gone. hello i'm christine want to welcome to the program europe is trying to soften the economic blow dealt by the coronavirus e.u. leaders have signed off on an emergency rescue package to help countries deal with

the immediate 4 knowledge of the crisis they also agreed to set up a fund to secure the broths long term recovery but they are still divided on how this will be fine at wealthy in northern countries all refusing to pull debt as requested by some southern countries but germany has agreed to increase the amount it pays into the budget more on that after this report. the video conference was the 4th such meeting since the virus hit a u. countries and expectations were low e.u. member states of 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 bend them which is put into our societies and circe through there will be of each e.u. member states depends on the 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 found a line called for unity unless we acted decisively and collectively the recovery will not be symmetric and divergence between member states will increase speaking to the press and berlin after the meeting german chancellor angela merkel also stressed what this meant for europe's biggest economy. that's what i had to figure out 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 fund 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 mees 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 gent and necessary instrument has been confirmed italy lived the coals for our initiative and the list 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 is toughest negotiations are yet to come. and i'm now joined by the chief political correspondent melinda crane headed melinda's so germany will pay

the biggest share of the emergency fund that e.u. leaders have agreed to set up is that bound to be some opposition to that in the country there will certainly be opposition from the far right alternative for germany party they said very clearly yesterday that they were not willing to see any kind of increased aid from germany to help other e.u. members particularly the hard hit southern european countries but otherwise the my old so far criticism or somewhat mild criticism that we've been hearing is coming from different. members of the political spectrum including the junior coalition partner the social democrats saying the agreement yesterday didn't go far enough and germany's commitment didn't go far enough that bolder action is needed to really get an effective recovery fund up and working. so all of the so-called corona bonds that countries like germany and other northern countries are opposed

to other they now off the table. no so far basically nothing is off the table the chancellor said very clearly yesterday both in her report marie marx to the german going to starve and also in her press conference after that video summit that germany was ruling such mutualization of debt out but the fact is that what the summiteers yesterday decided in their video conference essentially was to hand the whole subject back to the e.u. commission the commission is supposed to come up with an exact assessment of how bad the damage is in different sectors in different countries across the e.u. and then make recommendations about how this fund could be set up and how its payout would look and so with the moment there's bound to be debt the commission will have to borrow money in order to fund any kind of fund of this proportion but the question is what that might look like germany has made its position clear so of other northern european countries right melinda just just briefly and other thing

that did say yesterday was that germany's well being dependent on europe being well what does she mean by that well germany is an export world class exporter as we know and 2 thirds of its exports go to other e.u. member countries and 2 thirds come from other e.u. member countries in other words even if the german economy emerges from this crisis quickly and it has in fact put into place some of the biggest rescue packages anywhere in the world without recovery in the rest of the e.u. germany's economy cannot flourish that was her message and that message it's absolutely accurate and even a 2 track where some countries are languishing while others flourish that will not work out well for this very very open german economy in future all right that's melinda crane thank you. now stay here in germany the munich

based institute for economic research has just released its latest business climate survey results it shows german business confidence plummeted to a record low in april as firms french of the corona virus for us now we've invited the president off the institute's to talk more on that caymans forest joins me from new nick welcome to the devaney mystifies so german business has never been this pessimistic about the future what does that mean materiality it means that they will reconsider their plan they will certainly invest less of a may dismiss people make up the labor force the survey also tells us that their current business situation is very bad so that means the money that is coming in the sales they still have very low and that means they are accumulating losses and that of course reinforces the trend to cut back spending to cut back cap

ex so the crisis is getting deeper here ok has they've been a support for business and what do you make of the rescue package that e.u. leaders have now agreed. well there has been a lot of support mobilized mainly by the german government and in other e.u. countries by the respective national governments what the e.u. rescue package is doing now is basically 2 things 1st of all the e.u. is trying to prevent a return of the debt crisis investors are nervous about some countries in the eurozone italy for instance and they need a signal from the e.u. that there will be no liquidity problems for the italian government the 2nd issue is that we need to organize a reconstruction recovery after this crisis is over and there is now a fun being set up for that these are good signs but they cannot prevent the fact that we are now in this crisis that we now have this shutdown and we need to deal

with that right so the $1000000.00 question how will the doable economic recovery from the pentagon make me be quick and strong or would it be sort of what do you think. it's very unlikely that it will be quick we know that there will be. hardly a vaccine this year probably not even in 2021 so that means we will live with the restrictions we now have a world economy or will stay on at a lower level for some time so the recovery will be slow. and will disappoint those who hope for a v. shaped recovery it's i don't think it's going to happen ok that's cannon's 1st from the institute for economic research talking to us from munich thank you. thank you for sleeping for. now his look at some of the latest developments in the corona virus pandemic the global death toll from 1000 has so paused 190000 according to

johns hopkins university the number of confirmed cases is approaching 3000000 china has reported no new coronavirus stats for the 9th straight day and just 6 new cases 2 of those were brought from overseas with 4 to mystic cases indonesia will temporarily banned domestic and international and sea travel starting this week it's already bad movement from cities to the provinces during the ramadan holiday period and hungry plans to replace its lock down which included a blanket could feel on the entire population with more targeted mischa's from the may the new rules ought to focus on those at high risk. feel as president donald trump has raised eyebrows off to saying people infected with the coronavirus should be treated with ultraviolet light and disinfectant made the remarks during a white house press briefing following a presentation by

a government official suggesting heat and sunlight could weaken the virus. now let's hear it from mr trump himself suppose it really hits the body with a tremendous whether it's true violent or just very powerful late. 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 inside the body you can which you can do either through the skin or. in some other way and i think you said you can attest to so i was interesting to write in that i see the disinfectant but not. in a minute one minute it is there a way we can do something like that. by injection. or almost a cleaning mr trump's ideas were dismissed immediately by docs as present at that briefing the pandemic meanwhile is pushing us jobless numbers to highs not seen

that you're helping have my wife. will work for your restaurant and we are now working it's very hard these are great people and i appreciate it when they do it like it's helped me through some type of tours that could have been a lot so for. the bar's owner and of the liril had to furlough 70 off or $85.00 employees she collected some 300000 u.s. dollars in donations and is now trying to keep the community afloat. here in d.c. one in 7 workers is actually in the hospitality industry so you're talking about a huge number of people who are suddenly hitting the the public safety net programs and so there have just been a lot of delays in them receiving the aid that they're applying for. how much is a model in a l u 2 is still waiting for her unemployment 8 as a skilled worker she hopes to find

a new job once the crisis is over but she knows that many americans will not be that lucky a month for months now here's a look at the stories making headlines around the bald a portuguese migrant santa has been evacuated off to the vast majority often $175.00 residents tested positive for the new coronavirus authorities ordered mass testing of all residents of the facility in has been off to one of them was found to be carried. a virus. several 1000 people have attended prayer services at the biggest mosque in indonesia the crowds ignored advice from the national government and health officials who've urged worshippers to pray at home to prevent the spread of the corona virus. and south africa's president has announced steps to gradually lift the country's rock down starting may 1st restrictions on travel and some industries will be eased south africans have been and stay at home orders for

only on the epidemic but also on what he called media and political viruses new legislation has been introduced on reporting on the epidemic which is even saw a local newspaper editor from a nearby city dragged from his home in the middle of the night despite such pressures critical journalism is continuing even though it runs a risk of a knock on the door from the police to go through. queues of human rights. against citizens while enforcing the law down according to nigeria's national human rights commission. people have been killed by security agencies that's almost the same this. self here in beijing life feels quite normal and at the same time it feels like you're stuck in a big fortress nama because you can go on about your daily life you can go to a barber shop and cut your hair you go to a restaurant you can go shopping this all comes with restrictions and for example when i enter a supermarket there's always

a camera that scans my body temperature and also i have to show is q.r. code for my smartphone to prove that i'm healthy the big prescription however counts when you leave beijing because once you return you have to parenting for 14 days no matter what however the chinese are really disciplined when it comes to complying with the restrictions and i really respect them for that. now some sports germany's professional soccer league say they are ready to restart the bundesliga season on may the night in empty stadiums pending government approval it would mark the 1st return of the 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 new tougher than 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. i just wanted to give yourself to. it was important news 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. lies about if this season doesn't resume or is stopped again searching mechanisms which 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. ok and at the table to talk more about this

with me is make cambridge for. it good to see you so is this just about the money well i think there are 2 competing positions in this debate on the 1st one is what i actually initially fell and what so many people around the world with a felt while great oh my goodness what was coming back right this is going to be great we haven't had it for such a long time we actually saw the brasier dortmund c.e.o. hans you can come out this week and say the returns of the bonus league will bring joy to millions of people around the world then of course there are people on the other side of the argument saying ok pull the other one because we know that this is money motivated we've just seen the report there the broadcasters and offered clubs 300000000 euros essentially to finish the season. and we've just seen as well cologne for instance in the report a lot of clubs using words like survival when they're talking about the need to bring the football back you know they really are facing financial hardship and i think even the story found when he took his take these capitol hill see that this is a money motivate the base ok so it's just imagine that they get the go ahead to do

this right how does this actually work are we literally going to see players on the field wearing last week please see the masks won't be making an on field appearance but subject to government approval of course that the a.f.l. has set out the following logistics for dealing with the match by match games the 1st is what is known as guys in german games which sounds a lot cooler than it is nice to be alive but it's actually just empty stadiums and they'll be few a star in and around to get the ground on match days all the sort of rituals we normally see it football players together in the tunnel before the game handshakes before kickoff won't take place and the a.f.l. . also promised to test every play out once a week of tests a lot of tests and i think they're going to cause a little bit of a role but that is how the d.f.l. say that could be done ok so what are the fans think about all of this well i think there could be huge backlash actually because i think when people use the term football fans it's very easy to forget often that these also restaurant tours and

bar owners and teachers and health workers have been stretched to breaking point and financial ruin during this pandemic and i don't deny going to have much empathy for these clubs that are saying ok well. she was having a lot of financial hardship when they actually received millions and millions of euros every year in broad cost money so it's very hard for them to have empathy and also as we've just said the tests how can there not be enough tests 2 weeks ago and suddenly there's enough to test every bone is legal and 2nd division player for games it doesn't seem again and doesn't seem fair either right now ok edward mccambridge from. fagging q thank you. now at the age of 1009 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 her like a virus patients so far the viral campaign has attracted donations from around the

world attention of over 32000000 euros and rising now had a chance to speak with captain was one week before he turns 100. $100.00 laps of the garden 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 targets by millions of pounds speaking to d.w. alongside his daughter the world war 2 veteran expressed his delight at the achievement. of yours absolutely an amazing amount of money as we rode to shore john almost like the clauses there is only good one. source i think those are. using. the coronavirus pandemic has

strained britain's public health service the n.h.s. and expose shortages in equipment for frontline staff that's why tom moore took up his challenge we said initially that the money would be far and the n.h.s. charities and that money could be used to support it all sorts of things then this crisis so things like knocks start and i've seen what i can find the towards and the crying i have and i'm looking up to mental health so that money is there anything you can use. having fought in world war 2 the army veteran turned celebrity had words of hope for today's generation. throughout the world. quote was all new people. there's no normal you son. but i would say to everyone things will get better there's no doubt that wrongdoers will roll onto the ground.
