a lot of fear we can't sleep and this restricted there's not much work we pray to god that there will be no criminal cases here because if the virus reaches us i don't think a lot of people will survive. a concern it could buy you and it's the un refugee agency which has called for emergency funding to help displaced people though they've been no confirmed cases of the virus here yet the existing conditions would fuel it spread half of you are do we all live very close to each other to certain people live in one camp section this includes children of the lead people with diabetes and high blood pressure that could become a big problem a tragedy. that. many of the refugees seem more concerned above their livelihoods than the virus itself. but what have. you just had to be glad there are so many businesses are closed i run

a small shop but i'm also been affected it's really hard for us to make ends meet and. we're not making any money. and i got out but on the whole. problem what i have heard and i'm like most people here i follow the news and social media very closely what corona can be prevented by washing your hands covering your face with a mask and if you're feeling unwell you're seeing a doctor was someone who can take care of you out of that cup. for now you see this very much a believer that the virus can be stopped everyone plays their part. for more on the situation and one of the biggest refugee camps in the world we spoke to philip crossland taylor country director at care international in kenya we asked what she thinks will happen if the coronavirus reaches the camp. if the grown

a virus reaches that camp as in many parts of kenya. i mean we have the units here as it were in the government but still we have the services for 2000 in quarantine with a 110 beds in an isolation in fact this 270 the people up there. of which you know $24230.00 germans where it says you don't go to a refugee it's really really wearing an aria. all right let's get a roundup now of some of the latest developments in the pandemic worldwide of the world health organization has warned that the outbreak is still spit picking up speed across africa despite efforts to contain it russia has recorded its biggest daily rise in confirmed cases with almost 8000 new cases registered malaysia will allow the majority of businesses to reopen next week as the pace of new cases has slowed there in recent days and a 1000000 people are now known to have recovered from corona virus infections

banned here in germany there robert costa institute for infectious diseases says that the number of confirmed coronavirus cases is now over 160001 thursday german chancellor angela merkel announced a further easing of lockdown restrictions but warned that they could be reimposed if the rate of infection starts to increase again. chancellor angela merkel defended a step by step approach as she outlined details of the latest easing of restrictions in germany following a virtual meeting with the 16 state premiers it's been the 1st new words for i am firmly convinced that the interests of the economy and also the interests of social contacts are best pursued if we consider that we can take steps forward in allowing more contacts but only if we don't have to take steps back and that's why we have to stay careful and india to hygiene measures. under the new rules religious

gatherings are allowed again provided hygiene and distancing requirements are met in churches synagogues and mosques visits to zoos museums and memorials will also be possible again under the same requirements intensive care units and hospitals will start receiving non-code at 19 patients again and playgrounds can reopen as early as this week. but 2 decisions were postponed for now one should germany's bunder sleekest soccer league resume its season with games behind closed doors and to just which requirements need to be met before schools and child care facilities can reopen gradually. said it was important to get a clear idea of the impact of the 1st steps to ease the lockdown 2 weeks ago before deciding on the next steps and that will happen next wednesday. now a survey commissioned by the don't use for its has revealed that public support for

resuming the bundesliga season is fading dramatically the majority of people surveyed say they do not support football resuming in may with so-called ghost games. when disney games behind closed doors are necessary for survival or sport sending the wrong message to g.w. commission survey shows the majority are now against so-called ghost games 49 percent of people don't support a resumption in may without fans that's almost 20 percent more than an identical survey conducted 3 weeks ago when this league or clubs and officials are desperate to play again to guarantee some 300000000 euros in missing t.v. revenue the league's plans for a restart would involve things like testing players and restricting stadium access the head of the league says some clubs will go out of business if the season can't restart. from a lie i'm asking all of those who are interested in the bundesliga really all of

the go for leniency and support it's playing without spectators is not what we want to avoid but it's the only thing that seems possible at the moment and put in the end any return to action depends on political sign off with the public mood shifting that sign off may now be harder to get. well on friday here in berlin the german government delayed its the station on when to allow the bundesliga football season to resume and we have anthony howard from the sports to talk to us about this hi anthony is the german government just kicking the can down the road here on waiting to decide on whether to reopen the season if you live in belgium holland or france you might say yes because the season's there have already been mothballed and winners declared but germany this still hopeful spine begin testing playas on monday england. is the great unknown it's impossible to find consensus. but this very possible the football were turned in my in germany pub may but it's

the most right ghost games might be played at that point and those kinds is the key is that we know. spectators has as we heard in the piece the general football is confident of 2 things 1st it can reach a critical mass of testing to make it run feel safe including the players and it will be done at the at its own expense which is important in terms of perception and then the next magical number that i got to yesterday. was 400 that thing the number of people involved in a broadcast what constitutes a public gathering broadcast is of being told quietly it's not an official figure at 400 that they have to make a broadcast possible with less than 400 people including match officials bowl boys referees announcement and then you go through the technical stuff if they can hit that number and have less than 400 people there they can like a t.v. show and the broadcasters can cut a check and iran gets the money you mentioned perception and how much does the public play here the public perception or how much of a role does that play. place

a lot of a role i think that the survey is that i was really interesting that people are losing support for the for the game coming back but football is really very aware of that and all the interested parties are interested to they're motivated by different factors but varying degrees you think of the players one in cristiana rinaldo sitting on he's made in these mega mansion gets the offer to come back and play and he's going to leave the comfort to go back to italy to go into quarantine to be alone to train in oscillation and then run the risk of getting infected end or something worse he's probably going to think twice about his safety and not want to do it then think of the guy who is a $1000.00 awake playing on the outskirts of dortmund and he needs that for bread and butter so there's just the haves and the have nots exist in football like they do in society and german football in the bundesliga are very aware of that dortmund and by munich have already started sharing money with clubs around them so they were king on that perception that football deserves its place in the community and

deserves the chance to get going football employs 50000 people in germany alone so it's a really big industry and the whole community will benefit if they get going and i think they will all right anthony hard from 4 thank you very much. now in the u.s. state of michigan hundreds of demonstrators crowded inside the capitol building on thursday to protest the governor's coronavirus lockdown order some demonstrators carried rifles and attempted to enter the legislative chamber but they were held back by police. for the 2nd time in 2 weeks protesters gathered outside the state capitol in michigan to demand an end to stay at home orders and business restrictions but this time they didn't stop there. hundreds of demonstrators stormed the capitol building to condemn a plan by the democratic state governor to extend emergency powers for another
