was greeted with funders cheers it's the 1st report of kim carrying out an engagement since he missed national anniversary celebrations last month there has been speculation he was seriously ill or even dead joining me now is correspondent frank smith in seoul frank we've just seen new video from the state news agency there that appears to show kim jong un alive and well this is pretty much settle any speculation over the leader's health i think really it does this came out from korea's central news agency it shows footage of him walking and talking and incidentally smoking which i find remarkable if he did undergo heart surgery just less than 2 weeks ago and i think it does whether he succumb to some type of operation or not and it also i think settles the timing we saw people in the video wearing masks and so obviously this this is taking place quite recently

yeah the mass might be the most convincing trait there why was there or why was all there why was all the speculation there in the 1st place about his health just remind us on even about his death over the past week or so. well you know one way that when we think about north korea we got it we got to think about a few things one is it's a very opaque sort of media atmosphere the information that we get out of north korea is all very speculative especially concerning the leader back in 2011 when kim jong il died their leader then kim jong un's father we didn't find out for 2 days until the case c.n.a. announced that also we need to be reminded that north korea has a nuclear weapons program so that is a big concern for the international community which has placed pyongyang under united nations security council sanctions and then also there's this issue of

succession who will come next and over the past week we've heard people talk and write about kim your junk conjunctions younger sister who at 32 appears poised at some point to be the heir to the north korean regime that's frank smith in seoul thank you frank austria has become one of the 1st countries in europe to lift many of its lock down restrictions put in place to stop the spread of the krona virus after 7 weeks where social contact was strictly regulated the country is relaxing its measures and trying to slowly return to a new normal austrians are now allowed to meet people from outside their own household but still at one meter distance. we're joined now by correspondent carrie sky ringing in the austrian capital vienna kerry it's good to see you. as of today all shops or allowed to open of course are you expecting lots

of people to head out. yes there will be a lot more people on the streets and on the roads today this is the 1st time in 6 weeks that us troops have been able to visit or hairdresser place or to go to the major shopping centers that they open for the 1st time to have a lot of small businesses open but now major shopping centers department stores are going to be open and yes there could be some queuing at some of those establishment when the 1st set of easing of restrictions took place 2 weeks ago that's what happened so perhaps people will be a little sensible and stay at home until next week but yes when you look at the traffic on the road on the ring strasser the major route around the city of you know yesterday afternoon it was almost like a normal traffic so when it's through how exactly austria has dealt with the coronavirus so far well like many countries there were a few missteps at 1st if you remember in the tourist resorts to roland for alberg

there was a rapid spread of infections and many tourists returned home to many places in europe and spread those infections to other people now the authorities reacted a little late. after that austria in the middle of march imposed a fairly strict lockdown and since then we've seen the numbers improve right now there are less than 500 people in hospitals being treated for corona virus the number of new infections each day is down to somewhere between $50.80 each day and that gives the government some confidence to do this and that at no point has the health system here being overstretched so the numbers are very manageable there but i'm curious do people in austria support the lockdown easing or people also afraid of a 2nd wave of infections just as people across the world are. yes you get both reactions i think we can say there is

a pro and consensus for the government's moves they seem to move up the case for it fairly clearly using the statistics and so most people are quite happy to see restrictions lifted there are concerns though and debates flare up about the wisdom of sending the children back to school which starts a phased return of school from next week and people are worried that children simply cannot be your convinced to practice social distancing then it's not practical and a spate. people who feel that it is too early and many of some of those that i've spoken to say they will continue to impose isolation upon themselves the big step the next step will be in 2 weeks' time and that will be when. he tells well not hotels hotels towards the end of the month but cafes and restaurants will be able to open from the middle of the month and i think that's what most australians are really looking forward to. kerry skier in keeping an eye

on developments there in vienna thank you so much for that thank you let's give you a round up of some of the latest pandemic developments the u.n. is warning that millions of children risk missing out on vital medicines because travel disruptions has delayed shipments u.s. regulators have given fast track approval to rendez if you're a drug which appears to help some covert 1000 patients to recover faster the world health organization says the rate of infection across africa is increasing and singapore is easing restrictions as cases there begin to subside again. now germany and france are spearheading european efforts to fund research into a krone virus vaccine a virtual pledging conference next week is aiming to raise 7500000000 euro this european commission president ursula fundal line says the goal is to develop vaccines treatments and tests to be available worldwide at an affordable price.

a scientists around the world race to develop a vaccine the e.u. is trying to rally global support in the fight against coronavirus in an interview with the table you commission president ursula von the lion calls for a cool ordinated approach have to build up capacities to manufacture and zillions of those and then we have to make sure that we can deploy to every corner in the world in a fair and affordable price and that's what exactly we're working on for that we need money and we need to go global corporation. the pandemic is also putting a strain on state finances countries like italy and spain want support in the shape of so-called corona bones effectively shared debt between eurozone countries but illustrating the blocks north south divide the plan for each use solidarity has met

opposition from germany and the netherlands. in the whole instrument we will have certainly the right balance of loans and grants this is the process where we have to negotiate with all 27 member states of course and i think this is democracy we have to speak about the detailing out the tailor made programs but all i do agree that it is important to support the countries that are hardest hit by the virus and the economic consequences. the majority of e.u. countries have declared states of emergency in a bid to contain the virus but the lion had a warning for any government seeking to abuse those powers. we're looking very closely to how these measures are implemented when it comes to the european values indeed the freedom of speech the freedom of media for example so we stand ready to intervene immediately if this is not appropriate and time limited. for now the

priority remains saving lives and stopping the spread of vaccine the key to some kind of return to normality. by the way you can see our full interview with ursula funder line on our website. dot com some sports news now hopes of restarting the german football season have suffered what could be a setback after 3 people at cologne tested positive for the virus all are symptom free and in quarantine the club is not disclosing the names or positions of those who tested positive group training for the team is continuing the league hopes to restart matches without spectators later this month. anthony howard from de sport is here to talk us through this developing story anthony it's always great to see you. tell us more about these positive tests. and coaching stuff from cohen if they were tested on thursday as is protocol for the virus 3 people have tested positive
