from today climate activists fear that because of the corona crisis politicians may play increasingly hard to get on their climate goals addressing the 1st virtual pieces the climate dialogue germantown machall came out in favor of the e.u. sound business climate goals despite the crisis. was a vision to go over and it will be all the more important to firmly consider climate protection when we agree stimulus packages. we must ensure that we're not saving money on climate change now but invest in in future oriented technologies and we must not think nationally but continue to put our international commitments 1st because that's essential for achieving global success in climate protection. for you much of. germany will be in charge of driving forward europe's green deal when it takes over the e.u. presidency in july the un sees this as

a moment of truth for the world we have a rare and short read of opportunity to rebuild our world for the better it is use that both demick recovery to provide the foundation for a safe it also includes even more resilient words for all people the u.n. secretary general says the fear of the 5 days for future movement protesting here in berlin last friday that the political reflex could now be to bail out carbon intensive industries at the cost of climate friendly investment. they don't lose chief political correspondent melinda crane welcome belinda what has prompted this renewed push for climate protection. well you know we're often hearing churchill cited these days never waste a good crisis which basically tells us that this is the moment for a restart government and multilateral organizations such as the european union the

world bank i.m.f. and others are getting ready to commit some problem was but in the train let's move on to russia russian president vladimir putin has said that his country's coronavirus pandemic hasn't yet peaked during a televised video conference with cabinet members and other officials mr putin also announced of the lockdown would be extended until the 11th of may and the restrictions might be loosened from the 12 russia has reported a significant increase in the number of cases with an additional $6400.00 confirmed infections in one day bringing the nationwide total to move the $93000.00. get more from g.w. correspondent i'm going to show in moscow welcome this lockdown extension come as a surprise well not really phil health officials here in moscow

and in russia rather have been recommending such an extension through the may holidays here in russia i think the worry was that people would kind of gather for parties people here usually go on holiday during this time so i think that is part of the reason why we're seeing an extension today we saw a record number of cases when it comes to infections and also deaths though it was just a slight increase from the past few days it almost looked like the curve was kind of flattening in russia in the past few days but putin today warned that it would be wrong to think that the threat had passed and that it would be actually a difficult road lies ahead for russia which has not yet as he said passed its peak in this part that nic understood health service company. well not really or at least it's very strange and actually today vladimir putin

said as much he was very open about the fact that yes russia has opted for production of protective gear of ventilators and that it was upping that it had upped testing as well but he said that it was simply not enough and officials here in moscow which has been the hardest hit by the corona virus pandemic with more than half of the cases here in the capital they have also been very open about the fact that medical workers are already strained they're already working at their limits here in the capital authours have been trying to expand the number of beds for potential new cases and they're looking into kind of putting beds in commercial buildings big commercial buildings like kind of trade trade buildings and so on the situation in moscow is already tough the regions around or the rest of the country has been less affected but it's also much much poorer than the capital so that

could potentially be a problem as this pandemic spreads so given that the lockdown measures are to be extended how people are actually taking the book to. well it seems like people are kind of getting tired of them of the lockdown state t.v. in the past few days have even as even been reporting that people are kind of going out on the streets more for walks and it does seem like that here in moscow as well and i think many people were hoping that for those may holidays they could kind of go on holiday or have their traditional kind of celebrations their traditional days off and i think one thing that is a real worry for people here that putin mentioned just at the end of his address is the economy people have been in this kind of nonworking period as putin called it for over a month now what that means is that employers are supposed to keep paying their workers but many simply can't because they don't have the funds the government has

been phasing in support measures but people say it's simply not enough people have been taking to social media across the country to say we don't have any money how are we supposed to buy food so i think the situation for many people across the country is getting more and more desperate and actually that's reflected in surveys . people's trust in bloody mirror putin has fallen ill surely in moscow thank you. well take a look now at some of the stories making headlines around the world the search for a covered 19 vaccine has received another boost scientists at oxford university say they've successfully kept monkeys infection free for 4 weeks the team is now in rolled 6000 people for human trials and hope to have millions of doses available by september. protesters in the northern lebanese city of tripoli have set fire to banks after demonstrators killed by police the country's in the grip of

the coronavirus pandemic has brought the congress right to the front door of people's homes and we can get more on this from d.w. so all soka welcome all what's being reported. well this is a way for chinese authorities to keep an eye on people who should be at home now most people already in china are being tracked by so-called tracing apps which will let you know if you've been if you've been exposed to the corona virus and will then they will then let you know that you should stay at home but in the in recent weeks people have started posting photos and on chinese social media platforms like wave both. off the cameras being installed outside their apartment doors or even in extreme cases inside their apartments now it's important to remember i mean this this this is an extreme can can seem like an extremely invasive for us here in the

west especially but it's important to remember that china has more cameras more surveillance cameras cameras per capita than any other country in the world but the area in front of your of your apartment door is a bit of a gray stone when it comes to private or public so even for china this is extreme and who is monitoring the cameras well 1st of all these cameras are not installed by the central chinese government but rather by local authorities but they're being monitored by so-called neighborhood committees now these groups have a long history in communist china they're basically private citizens working as the ice and is of authorities making sure that their neighbors behave now it is important to say that these cameras in most of these reported cases they were taken down after the 14 day quarantine period but it does raise questions about the use of surveillance equipment in the times of the corona virus and what happened to that technology and especially the data that has been recorded off of the pandemic

process and we're seeing a similar privacy issues in other countries. well we have a few example in hong kong now for example if you arrive from overseas you are issued a an electronic bracelet the idea is the same the authorities want to make sure that you stay in your apartment or in your hotel room for those 14 days in quarantine in poland you have now an option of frequent police visits or uploading a selfie of yourself via an app to show that you are actually in your home during quarantine and in israel the government there has come under criticism recently for using so surveillance technology developed by the country's internal intelligence agency now that's issue went to the high court in israel on sunday they decided it's up to the knesset the parliament and that they by thursday have to decide if this will be allowed to continue on. by here.

now britain has held a minute's silence to pay tribute to fallen by workers who died after contracting company $19.00. the government has announced that it will compensated founders of health workers and social caste staff who died fighting the outbreak with timers of almost $70000.00 euros critics of the government's pandemic response say the disease is highlighted a crisis in the u. case national health system. and norms he found that protects him from coronavirus dr assays munaf almost feels guilty every time on. he's an emergency doctor so he doesn't have access to past not protective equipment or people. that supplies across the u.k. are very limited there simply aren't enough gowns for every doctor want to go to get treated to. a conscious user to use the cardboard box of supplies

getting less and less and so that's every type of course they are enough to merit you know we are in a high risk are 3 quarters of all u.k. doctors say they don't have access to protective clothing mises and masks are also in short supply some doctors are having to buy their own f.p. 3 masks from d.i.y. stores and from building that fence. and also having to do things like make their own aprons out of rubbish bin bags to track protect their closing whilst they're doing these high risk procedures over 100 medical staff doctors as well as nurses have already died from the virus on social media videos like this that being said hospital workers paying their last respects to a continent even before the crisis the u.k. was short of over 40000 nurses staff are now on the enormous pressure even very

experienced nurses and pushed to the edge and we have a lot of newly qualified staff who only been in the job 6 months or one year and they've really been pushed pushed to 2 to breaking point we are and already underfunded we need more doctors and nurses to work in the n.h.s. even in normal times so at the moment we are above and beyond what we ever thought that we could be intensive and working and we're trying our best that we do need more starker we need more quick meant and that is a result of underfunding over the last decade and patients are suffering too. hospitals are having to ration supplies make oxygen on dialysis food for patients with kidney failure. dimona describe situations where older patients that might offend if they did some intensive can't has been denied treatment whereas a few months ago people over 65 we would get it you base your mentality but now

it's scratchy you're so stringent so to trust other people looked up to you but people look at 55 i think i should say which i deemed. a test of care you did but the i.c.u. people rejected it a lot. it white fog rushed me britain's national health service is facing its biggest emergency since its founding. plus brain data because spondon shot a pulse in london welcome shotor let's start with today's national science tell us more about that. well it was really quite an emotional moment i was at the grocery store and everybody stopped what they were doing for a minute to show respect to those health care workers that have died at the front line already we've heard nearly $100.00 but it was really the whole country standing still buses and tubes even not only thinking of those health care workers

that are sacrificing their lives at the front lines every day but all of these other workers as well the bus drivers that have died here in london several dozens of drivers and so with the death toll standing over 20000 only at the hospitals at the moment in the u.k. nearly everybody knows somebody who is somehow affected by it and it was really a moment for the country to come together. as talk about death toll. free health care of the point of contact yet it still has one of the worst infection and in death writes from kofi 19 in europe why's that. well you mentioned free health care that is the great thing about britishness national health system free health care fall but the negative side to that is that the health care service has been underfunded for decades really underfunded by conservative austerity politics and so the n.h.s.

was at a very bad starting point to have has less beds doctors and nurses compared to many of its european neighbors and it was not quickly and not ramped up and that is also the fold of the government that has reacted very slow to this crisis boris johnson and the beginning of this pandemic shaking hands and bragging about it with their covert patients not attending crisis meetings as we know now on this pandemic and imposing the lockdown rather late when the infections had already spread and so it was somehow like of the perfect storm sometimes covering this year in the united kingdom health care system that was already at its limits before the penn demick a government that reacted too slow and then the prime minister who fell victim to the virus himself and was incapacitated for several weeks of course now recovered back at downing street and now the boris yeltsin is back waterfront houses return

hot. well it's extremely important that he's back and that you showing some leadership there was the government was in some kind of void of paralysis during his absence you can say in the several weeks that he was gone and now that he's back the hope is that he will ramp up testing mass testing and tracking and that that might be a way for the united kingdom to calm down in the next weeks or so. in love. story of the other stories making headlines around the world the pentagon released a video taken by u.s. navy pilots that showed encounters with what appeared to be. filmed in 2002015 versions were. said they believed the official photos to confirm the pictures are gender. organizers of
