bialik asked. city managed by from. this is news law from berlin tonight in the united states there are now more than 1000000 people with the corona virus a grim marker for the u.s. in the pandemic as the number of confirmed cases rises some states are continuing with their reopening president trump insists that enough testing is being done to protect americans wherever they live also coming up president putin of russia

extends his country's walked into the 11th of may and he tells russians the pandemics likely to get worse for the firm he says so we're almost 6 and a half 1000 just on monday. and governments are plenty of huge stimulus packages to get their economies working again but politicians are debating which climate friendly streams to attach could the pandemic actually help us find climate change . is good to have you with us we begin with a tragic milestone reached this tuesday in the united states more than 1000000 americans have now contracted the corona virus that's according to the tally kept by johns hopkins university more than 57000 americans. have died from coded 19 the

disease caused by the virus in proof of how quickly the virus has spread on april 10th the number of cases in the us stood at 500008 took just 18 days for that figure to double all the while u.s. president drawn things in questions and criticism for what he did and did not do to stop the by. like many other countries in the alley days of the pen demick the united states was in denial about the tree danger of the coronavirus it's going to disappear one day it's like a miracle it will disappear in the name of jesus and friends. but the miracle didn't happen and the pray it didn't help certainly not in states like needle. 1000 hit the big apple hot hospitals were soon fill to capacity and molds were of a well known to state governor andrew and to crisis mode and issued a warning to the rest of the country. new york is in crisis helping new york.

and then pick up the camp and then go to the next place as this roads across the country. a prediction that turned out to be train the virus spread rapidly from coast to coast by early april it was impossible to deny the seriousness of the situation. during a very critical phase of our war against the coronavirus the sacrifices we make over the next 4 weeks will have countless. american lives saved we're going to save a lot of american lives and we're in control of our own fate very much. despite the sacrifices within a week the united states let the world in 1000 deaths it still tops the grim list. confirmed infections have now topped the 1000000 mark

a milestone that nobody wanted to reach at a time when calls to reopen the country are growing louder. beaches and california already packed at the weekend and several cities and states are preparing to lease and stay a time restrictions. on the storm force in washington good evening to you and so we've got the u.s. now topping the 1000000 mark it makes up one 3rd of all confirmed coronavirus cases in the world people around the world when they see that number why has the u.s. been hit so hard. yeah and i wish i could give a easy and very comprehensive and non-complex solid answer on this this is not easy and it's not not complex to the contrary it's but basically it is because the u.s. government has in the beginning the trump organization has slept through this or

has actually denied it to be a crisis or potential crisis you heard the sound bites from president trump saying this will all go away by itself and in the beginning he was actually criticized for downplaying under playing the potential threats of this crisis and now we're in the middle of it as you said $1000000.00 cases in the u.s. and growing this is not the end we're still in the middle of this and the problem is now that the hospitals are not overwhelmed anymore have enough ventilators but what about testing we need testing testing testing otherwise there's no way of the united states this government anybody the local governments telling on how much the virus has infiltrated the society here in america. this 1000000 mark president trump says the he has everything under control it does make you wonder though how good this crisis management really is and we want to pull up a picture showing the u.s.

vice president now he was visiting coronavirus cases at the mayo clinic in minnesota and we're going to pull that picture up i'm sure in just a 2nd aren't we and we point that picture up there we go and as you see tents is the only person in the room with a mask on it's been shocking to a lot of people i'm wondering what does it say about the crisis management of this administration. good question brian i'm asking myself the same question i think there's a hundreds of thousands of people out there were ask themselves this question what does this actually tell you about this administration and in this case the vice president taking his actually serious what's going on here he's an in the room with with experts and doctors and everybody is wearing the mask it is the my own clinics policy to wear a mask he wasn't in contact there there when this picture was taken with somebody

or with people who were identified as covert 1000 positive but nevertheless he was in the hospital and on the hospital grounds i myself was in hospitals and of course you wear gloves and a mask and take all the precautions the hospital tells you to do i don't know if maybe the. vice president thinks he walks above water or it doesn't impact him but that sense absolutely the wrong message no doubt about this and he's heavily criticized for this instability twitter sphere exploding and commentators here in washington across the political spectrum shaking their heads and it is kind of symptomatic of walks impression to trumpet in his tray shouldn't left in the last few weeks to many many many people in the public into many many many. observers and critics off the and you just ration of course dude as i say not as i do that could be the policy perhaps chiffons humans in washington stuff and thank you. in russia

president vladimir putin has warned that the country's corona virus pandemic has not yet peaked the current lockdown will be extended until the 11th of may all the restrictions could be eased after that russia has reported a significant increase in the number of cases with an additional $6400.00 infections in one day bringing the nationwide total to almost $94000.00 the health care system in russia is reaching its limits. this ambulance is rushing to sing peaches but the crow ski hospital many health care workers and russia are doing that most to cope with the coronavirus epidemic but they are reaching their limits more and more medical workers and now testing positive themselves. which we do there are 32 coronavirus patients in our unit and 10 of them are medical workers yes you didn't mishear me you know all of our employees are now

infected you just russian president vladimir putin now acknowledged the problem hearing a televised meeting with his minutes does just that when the situation is still difficult and we're in constant contact with our specialists to coordinate our plans and actions we have yet to pass the peak. russia has been on a strict lockdown since late march now russians are being asked to stay home until at least may 11th. in his speech the president thanked the people for biting by the restrictions until now did you know when i was visiting my we managed to slow down the spread of the epidemic this is the result of our joint work is the responsibility of millions of citizens who listen to the recommendations of doctors and specialists it's used the kremlin underlined that it will come up with measures to support russia's fragile economy and ordinary russians many are struggling to

make ends meet due to the country's strict regulation. which force residents to stay at home unless absolutely necessary in the capital people are counting down the days until may 11th but even then a quick return to normality is unlikely. or correspondent in leisure when she is in moscow and she told me help people who are sure or coping with the walk down restrictions well even state t.v. here in russia has been reporting that people are kind of tired of the lockdown and here in moscow i think there are a lot of a lot more people on the streets in the past few days than there had been previously people had been i think hoping for kind of measures to be loosened for those holidays that didn't happen but i think one of the main worries for people here in russia at the moment is the economy we heard putin talk about that a bit today about further measures though he didn't go into detail people have been even taking to social media to express their concerns because this non-working

period that is the lockdown essentially means that employers are supposed to keep their employees on and can keep paying them but government support has been rather limited so a lot of people just don't have any money and people are really worried and putin's ratings actually have taken a hit as well. porting from moscow here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world the search for a covert 1000 bank scene is getting a new boost scientists at oxford university say they've successfully kept monkeys infection free for 4 weeks the team has now enrolled the 6000 people for human trials they hope to have millions of doses available in early as september a fire has destroyed much of a camp for displaced people in mali's capital by marco in over 100 or over a 1000 people rather fleeing violence in central mali found refuge there there's

been no report of casualties yet witnesses say strong winds caused several small fires to burn out of control. could the coronavirus pandemic be a chance to save the planet from climate change that was the question for debate on tuesday as germany and britain hosted this year's online version of the petersburg climate dialogue german chancellor angela merkel says the climate protection has to be considered as part of the economic stimulus programs that governments are launching to help their economies recover from the pandemic. while bolin zoo is back in business from today climate activists fear that because of the corona crisis politicians may play increasingly hard to get on that climate goals addressing the 1st virtual pieces by a climate dialogue. machall came out in favor of the use ambitious climate goals despite the crisis. is

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 with. germany will be in charge of driving forward to 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 to read in short 3 the opportunity to rebuild our world for the better. it says use the pandemic recovery to provide the foundation for a safe l.c. includes even more resilient worms for all people the u.n. secretary general says the fear of the fridays 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. or earlier we asked the w.c. for the corresponding belinda crane whether policymakers have broader support for linking climate protection to these economic stimulus package. they do i think amongst the general public there's greater openness perhaps for ambitious policies than there might have been in the past because people have just experienced in their own lives what a crisis looks like and are going to be eager to not see a repeat another crisis namely caused by global warming that's one part the 2nd part is business business feels the same way and for one very practical reason business needs clear and reliable signals about how to invest as it emerges from

this crisis and that's why $68.00 big german companies and i'm not only out service companies like of service i'm talking about steel chemicals companies that normally would say we need really cheap energy they have called for ambitious climate policy to be at the center of the recovery programs because they want those reliable signals for how to invest their money emerging from this crisis. reporting there bob what's up next with business stick around to be right back. what secrets lie behind the. discover new adventures in the 360 degree. and explore fascinating world heritage site. w world heritage 360 get the app now.
