though we have the playstation and we can talk to our friends on what's up and video calls but it's good to be able to go out and have some fresh air because we're feeling a bit overwhelmed at all of them with having to be out with a lot of joy a lot of nerves the children were looking forward to going out after $45.00 days at home they're very happy and it's a relief. that children over 14 still aren't allowed outside and the lockdowns other conditions remain in place for now he's the prime minister says a further easing of restrictions may be on the horizon. a movie i would like to announce that if the evolution of the pandemic continues in a positive direction as it is doing so far from a 2nd people will be allowed to go out for individual physical activity and walks with those they live with the always under the conditions set by the health authorities and in the american psyche that yes. later this week the government will unveil its broader lockdown exit plan raising hopes that

a sense of relief on both sides there tell me though children older than 14 aren't being allowed to go outside yet why not well they could be if they were to go shopping alone but again restricted movement i think it was felt that children with the most vulnerable are the ones to. be entertained and again there was a lot of pressure a lot of pressure because i think it was precisely those children who you know were giving. this 1st step towards a loosening of the lockdown we have any and details about the government's next steps. well. david the full details. not.

yet. because this is a very controversial move was a lot of pressure. because we. can expect a very sharp reaction so i think what's happened. next is. how. you know whether we'll be. ok martin roberts in madrid thank you for that and. let's take a look now at the latest developments in the pandemic. daily deaths from covered 19 are trending downward in many of the hardest hit countries france and italy reported their lowest numbers in weeks italy's prime minister says some lockdown

social media videos of scenes in china's into us i feel that many africans are facing the. bitterest newtok i 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 marched we have not been working so my journey teel was teachers. really facing each other because right now is no money to pay for rain is no money for. a recent rise uncovered in 1000 vacations have led to the fore because attacks against foreigners in china where african seem to have been the hardest are the chinese government or it is 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

might my poor case to an extent that what i was doing i was putting my money back home to see. that i may be able to buy myself food and right now it has gone to an extent that i come not to be able to ask any more back in kenya beatrice family worries about. from the duties of one moment i offer myself on these people human enough we have the chinese people here and they're treated well why are they doing this to our children and when she told me when she slipped out on the floor. i mean you know i just off the government to help them. was and that's why i just had they going to send

health care systems as well as in war zones and refugee camps he said international solidarity was needed to end the pandemic germany is responding to a call by the united nations to provide an additional 2000000000 dollars of relief to contain the outbreak in less developed countries. earlier we spoke to our political correspondent thomas sparrow and i asked him what was behind germany's decision. essentially nic what's behind that decision by germany is that pledge that you mention and also that announcement by the united nations that are warning that the pandemic is affecting obviously all countries around the world but not all countries in a very equal way so the most vulnerable countries around the world are suffering more from this pandemic and that's why united nations actually needs that extra money the money that you mentioned and that explains why germany as well announced so 300000000 and this goes to something very important in germany's foreign policy and that's that idea of multilateralism something that high cost the foreign minister has stressed on various occasions in fact he has been looking for

a so-called alliance for multilateralism and this explains why germany is giving this money to the united nations to united nations organizations because they believe germany that united nations can actually distribute that money accordingly and also help the countries that are most affected by this pandemic the countries that are most vulnerable be it because of unarmed conflict or a war or because of the number of refugees or different reasons why germany has decided to give this money and what the united nations could actually do with it and the number of coronavirus tests here in germany remains relatively low and around 13000 intensive care beds are still available but although the number of covered 900 patients in hospitals is going down doctors are warning that people must not get complacent. 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 15 percent of medical personnel got infected and many died. patients with covais 1000 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. by one cent 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 one. is one such patient the 52 year old thinks he was infected in austria he's being treated for covert 1000 at a hospital in bavaria for nearly 3 weeks he was on a respirator fighting for his life this was it was like

a bad dream and one point i remember hearing someone say to me you have to fight you have to survive. this hospital has become a center for kobe 1000 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 taff the number of cases so that's giving us some time to catch our breath. just do a system of catching their breath and hoping the number of infections doesn't start to go up again at the university clinic in aachen doctors say the situation is still far from normal their head physician says now's not the time to relax. before the noise 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 wave of infections and if you get ride of it if a 2nd wave does come the team here is prepared even though treating covert 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. this is to give you news and that's it from me the news to him for now express are extra watched. they were abducted by the nazis until into germany to be raised as citizens of the . during world war 2 thousands of polish children suffer.
