i'm a decorator as welcome to the program although coronavirus cases around the world are now close to the 3000000 mark more and more nations are beginning to aids lock down restrictions including germany but the gradual moves to reopen the economy and not enough for around a 1000 people who took part in a demonstration in berlin on saturday the protesters have been gathering in the city center every week they believe the restrictions limit their freedom and infringe on constitutional rights and police said they arrested more than $100.00 people at the animal thrives protest. germany has allowed small a non-essential shops to reopen we take a look at how people are reacting. here in berlin more people are wearing masks but there are also a lot more. people on the streets and not everyone is abiding by the social

distancing requirements. it was right what the politicians did and what is being done now is enough everyone's rushing outside because they're allowed out again. people are very insecure and afraid and they don't know how to deal with the situation. streets across germany are no longer deserted now the some restrictions have been eased that means there is not as much space retail businesses hope that with more shops allowed open sales would return to normal but revenues are only 40 percent of what they were before the pandemic struck. the urge to consume and the feelgood factor are plummeting the consumer mood has never been this bad in germany that's why people are slow to purchase goods people are only buying the necessities . the green party wants to boost consumption by providing vouchers they want to give every adult in germany 250 euros that could be spent on businesses that were forced to shut down and more businesses hope they'll be allowed to reopen soon

germany's health minister has given them a boost yet sponsors if people keep to social distancing then more retail businesses can open and people can work out again in gyms. but firearm urging caution they say that society needs to take a longer view. if the amount of people who become seriously ill from the virus and end up in intensive care can only really be evaluated a month later on. at the moment there is a discussion in society in politics about just 2 weeks and that timeframe may simply be too short so. the world health organization is also warning that there is no proof the contract in covert 19 guarantees immunity they say it's too early to say if people can catch the virus a 2nd time that also speaks against further easing of restrictions but with new

cases on the decline many don't want to heed that advice. and in germany around 2000 coronavirus patients are on respirators in intensive care units on spittles and clinics appear to have the situation under control for now at the moment there are around 13000 free beds in i.c.u. and although the number of people in hospital with cove at 19 is going down doctors a warn that people should not get complacent. ringback protective gowns 2 pairs of gloves and a special mask it takes had physician gary know marks a long time to get ready before he can enter the intensive care unit at arkansas university hospital. you know in spain and italy as minister 50 percent of medical personnel got infected and many died. patients with coated 19 are currently being treated here that means they're on artificial respiration sometimes for weeks

and as doctors here stress they're not exclusively people from high risk groups. we have patients here who are not 18 years old some are only in their sixty's. and they didn't all have preexisting health conditions some were apparently healthy before. is one such patient the 52 year old things he was infected in austria he's being treated for kobe 1000 at a hospital in bavaria for nearly 3 weeks he was on a respirator fighting for his life. it was like a bad dream and one point i remember hearing someone say to me you have to fight you have to survive that. this hospital has become a center for cope with 19 patients until recently the situation here was extreme with more than half of the 280 beds taken by corona patients now the numbers have

started to go down. we lost 2 houses in compared to the peak period we now have her own tough the number of cases so that's giving us some time to catch our breath. just. catching their breath and hoping the number of infections doesn't start to go up again at the university clinic and often doctors say the situation is still far from normal their head physician says now's not the time to relax. before we go away hoping we won't see many new cases and that things can maybe go back to normal with a smaller number of patients the worst case scenario for us would be a 2nd way for infections movie to get started in that if a 2nd wave does come the team here is prepared even though treating qubit 1000 patients takes everything they have mostly it takes time because after weeks of

artificial respiration those who recover have to learn to breathe again on their own. just take a look now at the latest developments in the pandemic a global death toll now stands at more than 200000 according to figures from johns hopkins university the united states has the highest number of cases than any other country and over 50000 people have died from the disease the governor of the state of new york america's a.p. center of the outbreak says pharmacies will be allowed to carry out tests for the virus a 3rd of the total u.s. coronavirus deaths have happened in new york city alone and officials in the chinese city of woo han whether corona virus originated say all patients who were hospitalized for covert 19 have now been released. now quick look at some of the other stories making headlines speculation continues over the health of north korean leader kim jung un reports say doctors have been sent from china to advise

migrants in china have become the target of discrimination and harassment as the country strives to contain the coronavirus videos posted on social media showed just how vicious some of the attacks of pain many now find themselves stuck in a nightmare and unable to return home debut spoke with a kenyan teacher living in beijing. evicted written and forgotten these are social media videos of scenes in china sent to us high fuel many africans are facing the. bitterest a kenyan teacher moved to china 4 years ago seeking a better future instead she broke a locked up in an apartment in shandong province and received the call in march we have not been working so my jury teel of us who are teachers here are really facing each other because right in all these no money to pay for rain there is no money

for food and a recent rise uncovered $900.00 factions have led to the reform because attacks against foreigners in china where african seem to have been hit the hardest are the chinese government worries about a 2nd wave of the deadly virus there are many undocumented african immigrants living in china who are blamed for the rise in infections mostly with very little evidence these violent incidents of now sparked a diplomatic row between africa and china. i completely drained my mind my poor case to a mexican that what i was just hours calling my mom back home to send me some. that i may be able to buy in myself food and right now it has gone to an extent that i cannot be able to ask her anymore back in kenya beatrice family war is about. all i ask myself on these people human

enough we have the chinese people here and they treated well why are they doing this to watch children and when she told me when she slept out on the floor. i just off the government to help them. doesn't ask you i just heard they going to send a plane but how are they going to pay for it so then they do so with the g.d.p. and a need. but it's a cry for help that may go unnoticed the tin you some buster that can you dismiss is this is like be too since we do exaggerations but 200 african migrants in china the tensions between them and the locals is still a reality they're facing my mom is very worried to both me and all why she wants me is. in kenyan soil we always know nothing so

long as they're safe over you. could buy many africans in china who's lives have been tanned upside down and out of this but to be reunited with deformities and for more let's bring in journalist fabien crash mine beijing has been following this story for us i mean he's spoken to many africans were they in the community there how common is this kind of treatment. yet quite common actually the 1st accusation secured in one show that's in the south of china that's the place where the biggest africans but i usually you spoke to people here in beijing and they all talk you basically similar stories at least 2 of them they basically got evicted they're homeless now they got kicked out of their flats and they feel that yeah the racial attacks really really went high and they don't feel treated feel treated as animals and i mean i cannot independently verify every of their

accusations but they show us to back up their claims and in one video for example i could see. a case of police violence so i think the situation for many africans is quite precarious and sylvia and what about those africans that have overstayed their visa is that they're in a particularly precarious position now. yes that's right i mean many of them who overstay their visas who are basically illegal in the country they've been kind of tolerated by the authorities but right now the africans are becoming a victim of what is called racial profiling and i mean they're singled out at least in one go in the southern city they have to undergo carotene just because the african basically and so now of course many people fear that because they are undocumented they might be difficult to track and actually the chinese side doesn't see anything wrong with it because they've also singled out before like citizens

from and from risk groups and that's what they're doing now to the african community as a whole that's their reasoning right now. reporting from for us from beijing thanks very much. and in the motor racing germany's maximillian good to has won the 1st round of the formula a race at home challenge on a virtual hong kong circuit driving for b m w e n t the 22 year old not stop his 2nd straight virtual victory after he won a test race around the monaco straight layout a week earlier all electric formula is following formula one and others in using virtual racing to fill the void left by the coronavirus and demick. to reminder of the top story we're following for you around a 1000 people have protested against coronavirus restrictions he in the german capital beilin the demonstrators say the measures in place limit their freedom
