this is. from berlin crunch talks to help germany's struggling car industry german car dealerships have been reopening from the lock down for 2 weeks but customers aren't exactly flocking to the showrooms industry bosses have been asking chancellor merkel for help also coming off a cart and a blow dry a little sliver of normality returns to germany as the lockdown has gradually lifted and those d.i.y. head disasters are put right by the professionals. and india ramps up its

coronavirus testing with the result that it's reporting the biggest jump in confirmed cases so far but india's states are loosening their law. as welcome to the program talks on the way between chancellor angela merkel and to representative of the german car industry the conference call will discuss the impact the coronavirus pandemic has had on production and sales as well as ways of reviving the hard hit industry comic has such as folks have urged the government to help boost demand for cars data released yesterday shows the sector is facing its biggest slump in search. of a more on this let's bring in the political correspondent kate brady kate what are the chances that german car makers will receive state aid. well we're not actually

expecting to see any great big announcements coming out of that telephone conference today instead it seems that today will be a chance to put proposals on the table and to discuss what might be possible in the coming months as hopefully at least in terms of the car industry their hope is that more people will return to their 2 car dealerships in the coming weeks now that many stores of reopened on monday but they are expecting at least a boost from the german government that's what they're demanding and one of their main demands is incentives for bae is one of the proposals being that we could see some incentives of anywhere between $3.40 euros for customers depending on what kind of car vehicle they would be purchasing and so on top of that we could also even see a scrappage scheme that something not quite entirely new to germany that mechanism was used almost a decade ago now in the aftermath of the financial crisis as well as the stimulus

to get people to buy more cars again and so today really does seem that it will be more about discussions rather than decisions. for these they get discussions the car industry gets an audience at the chancellor's office that other industries do nor does germany's business community think that's fair. well this has been a contentious issue for years now this currency relationship between the car industry here in germany and of course the german government and there were actually process the day as well as this contentious issue has become a bigger debate in recent years particularly because of climate change and we saw several climate change at change activists out in front of the chancellery today demanding that the government invests more in sustainable mobility rather than boosting the old mechanisms of old car industry so this is a radio at the center of this debate actually moving on as we look ahead to how the

german economy might recover after the coronavirus pandemic as well and the question is where will financial aid be invested but also used and so be a big question as to whether the german government will decide to prop up the old system from the from before the pandemic or whether they'll finally demand some more investment and innovation from the car industry ok other industries are also the model for financial how how much does the government actually asked its disposal to revive the economy well german government has said that it will do whatever it takes to keep businesses and jobs afloat here in germany and so far we've seen a financial aid package of some 750000000000 euros but there are already signs that we could see another economic stimulus package being agreed in the coming weeks but as if they say the german government has said it will do whatever it takes but of

course that pot of money isn't completely bottomless brady thank you very much. the german flag carrier tuns us also desperately seeking help from the government in the form of a bailout but it is pleading with berlin not to involve itself into the allens management and business we got into this crisis through no fault of our own said c.e.o. board lufthansa's annual shareholder meeting which was conducted online news that the company's management and strategy are solid pointing to 2019 as a year with record passenger numbers and record revenues government rescue package for the airline could be worth 10000000000 euros according to most recent discussions. there's better news for anyone in germany whose has been getting rather unruly during the law down that means most of us thankfully have dresses and barbers have been allowed to reopen this week for many here in berlin

it's been a welcome relief after some d.i.y. disasters. after so long few here will ever take a wash cut and blow dry for granted again hair salons in berlin have reopened after 6 weeks of enforced closure for some customers it was really high time. never did i was cutting my own hair and it started looking awful yourself i messed it up now the challenge is for both stylist and customer to wear face masks so this will help please remove the elastic bands that hold the mask to your face. now you've taken it off. i didn't brief are you crazy. but it seems to be working. as you can see i'm desperate my last haircut was in november yes we are here for years.

for. all the and his coworkers are fully booked through the end of the month walk ins are out of the question. now that people know we're open again the phone has been ringing off the hook from morning till night but that's fine with me i'm glad . plastic curtains provide some protection between customers during shampooing the new regulations are being strictly obeyed what matters is that the salons are at last open for business again many in the sector depended on state assistance is that financially speaking it's not the best situation but i think many are in the same boat and so many people have lost their jobs so i really can't complain. i made good use of my free time to those i've never had 6 weeks off before.

furious 5 in service from our. behind and then use it for. finally there's hair to be swept up again even wearing face masks at least people can hold their heads up high again. yes my personal lockdown is over at least as far as my hairdo goes thank goodness. now to some of the other stories making the news around the world federal prosecutors have issued an arrest warrant in connection with a cyber attack on the german parliament in 2015 well it has accused russia's gerry g.r.u. intelligence service of hacking the bonus tax computer systems suspect is also wanted by u.s. authorities for interference in the 2016 presidential elections a vice president at amazon has resigned after the company fired whistleblowers who have raised concerns about covert 19 in its warehouses to embrace the dismissals

were quote evidence of a vein of toxicity running through the company culture in april hundreds of amazon employees in the u.s. went on strike over work conditions. a global fundraiser led by the european union secured nearly 7 and a half 1000000000 euros to fight the covert 19 pandemic the funds to help develop vaccines treatments and testing the u.s. china and russia did not contribute. germany's highest court has warned the country's central bank may have to pull out of the key euro zone bond buying scheme the german constitutional court has upheld several complaints against the european central bank's project begun in 2015 to boost the euro zone's economy the court says the e.c.b. must clarify the assets buying program is not disproportionate if it doesn't germany's bundesbank would be barred from participating in this.

so what does that mean let's ask our financial correspondent conor bosun joins us from frankfurt comma will the european central bank now have to stop their huge amounts of monthly acid. the asset purchases by the e.c.b. can continue at least for now that is of course the most important signal for the financial markets today and the reason why there has not been a shock reaction on the markets after the decision has come out what the german constitute constitutional court has said today though was that the bundesbank our reserve bank the national reserve bank you in germany which executes the e.c.b. s. asset purchases here in germany must act according to the german constitution and that this in the past has not enough been the case so is this court decision also throwing a spanner in the works of the easybeats effort to fight the massive recession

caused by the coronavirus. in a way yes the european central bank in the future has to explain better why what it does is not illegal monetary financing of state budgets and why it thinks that it is an adequate all proportionate tool to follow its mandate it's the task of the german government then and maybe of parliament to check whether it can sign off this monetary policy in terms of german constitutional law from a bosom friend for thank you. and here's a round up of some of the latest pandemic news german state prime is expected to approve a plan to allow all shops to reopen and get bundesliga suck up going again with new zealand reporting no new cases for a 2nd straight day prime minister just phoned in to an australian cabinet meeting to discuss reopening borders between the neighboring countries malaysia and india

have begun to ease possible lockdown measures sponsor both governments have urged caution as cases continue to rise and britain's death toll has become the world's 2nd highest according to data released by the office of national statistics the total has now surpassed $32000.00. india has reported its biggest daily jump so far and confirm coronavirus cases a rise of almost 4000 to more than 46000 health officials said the spike was due to increased testing regional governments have started to ease the 6 week lock down that includes allowing our coal shops to reopen the central government has imposed a special tax of 70 percent on liquor purchases to prevent large gatherings of shops. going for a liquor run people in indian cities couldn't wait when they heard that certain

shops were reopening police had to implement social distancing. oh god i'll call shops of a shop for 40 days people are very anxious to know who you are of course we've encountered a lot of losses because alcohol is not considered essential goods but after more than 40 days without alcohol it's become more essential. that the country's lockdown has caused economic misery for millions of workers in the informal sector for many of them a reopening can't come too soon but easing the restrictions makes some people nervous i still feel the need to be very cautious about how good timing that would be in implementing the don't i mean go to that. because a lot of people would thinking you know what they're getting ready and happy about that i think and we're going full speed ahead nakia lazing that not only can they be gaddy years but they can put out the people i think there's also the risk that the official count is lower than the actual rate of infection new mobile testing

laboratories are supposed to get a better picture of the true number of infected people officials say indians should not expect everything to return to how things were before. we're now transitioning into a new normal in simpletons would remain careful conscious and vigilant to continue our battle against covert 19 with the same speed and momentum. but on the streets it's clear that there's a hunger or a thirst for relief. over here in europe many countries have closed their borders to try to curb the spread of the corona virus and the effects of having an impact on some communities more than all those locked on measures in france have hit migrants particularly high many on the northern port city of cali where from where they hope to cross over to brits do conditions and my been shelters were bad before but many say the lockdown has made things worse is correspondent lisa lewis visited

my. and shelters in northern france and spoke to people there about how the country's response to the crown of virus is affecting that. there's no let up in police procedure even in these times of covert 19 or whatever we're asked to move on because we want to film what's been an almost daily routine since 2018. migrants are told to move their tens a few meters once the police have left. the migrants put the tents back no one here wants to film their face but the migrants told us they feel harassed. they don't see it as human beings they don't respect my they could buy food if you don't wake up when they come they take away your temptation and we have to ask aid workers for a new one and wait for up to a week trying to preserve social distancing here is difficult senator conditions

are bad you know imposed by the we're not allowed to go into town this is the beginning of a pandemic we've been stuck in these camps some of us were taken to shelters but we have to stay up to 4 people in a room that's illegal. the migrants try to support each other as best they can but that's also more difficult these days this is where the college jungle was until 2016 readed was demolished at its peak some 8000 migrants lived in this camp conditions were bad but migrants managed to set up an infrastructure of sorts and they were able to help each other out now the authorities are trying to prevent the migrants from constructing another jungle by building fences like this one. aid workers have had to reduce their staff at the camp by half they say the government's response isn't helping the situation. this is a real step backwards for migrants human rights there's no legal aid for them

anymore evacuations continue and migrants keep getting harassed by the police you know saw people stand together in this crisis but these vulnerable people are being left behind us from where do you but authorities say that medical teams regularly check up on the migrants in the comes and that the evacuations unnecessary news of all. we're offering shelter for up to 750 migrants so you can get medical care. 353 people have already taken out about options hugh you. the migrants are being evacuated every 2 days if they are camping illegally we need to prevent them from settling. in aid workers say there aren't enough shelters and many of the migrants would rather stay here and try to cross and i never give up i'll never give up one day i will get to england my dream is to become a doctor have real freedom either a nice house and

a nice life nice life mangus wants to join to have his brothers who have already settled in england but the corona pandemic has now made reaching the other side of the channel more difficult than ever. of war this we're now joined from paris by a bit of your correspondent lisa lewis of that with other camps prepared for a corona virus outbreak. well not really if you look at the pictures you can see that the migrants are camping outside yes but they really stick together especially when they're cooking when they're preparing food when they eating and when they're sleeping as well so it would be very difficult to put them under isolation there have been 3 confirmed corbett 19 cases weeks back and 8 workers have told me that several micah's have migrants have shown symptoms that could mean they have caught the disease but that hasn't really been confirmed given that wide ranging testing is also not available for them. it seems people in the

camps under pressure from authorities who say they have no legal right to be there but even if they were to leave where would they go well that's a very good question really many of these migrants have been on the road for ages for years for up to 1011 years they've been to other countries in the european union applying for asylum there but were rejected and their last port of call is really car left from where they they hope to go to the u.k. where they think they can go more unnoticed so even if they don't get legal status and get accepted officially by the country they might be able to find a job and and settle down there have a family have somehow a nice life but that's really the big question in everybody's mind then color. of france is planning a slow exit from a lockdown on may 11th what impact will this have on the migrants and refugees.

theoretically that will mean that all of us we will be able to go out without that formal piece of paper we need at the moment to say this is why we are side for example to go shopping or to visit someone who's ill and he needs our help that we won't need any more there's no time limit on going out there's no there is somehow a limit as we can only move around within a radius of 100 kilometers of where we live but all this you know the lifting of these restrictions means actually that migrants should be able to move around in the city in cali and have a little bit more freedom however many of the aid workers might still stay at home because you know 8 associations have sent part of their stuff because of because they were vulnerable and the government has said that those who are buying are measured maybe stay it had home for longer so migrants will still maybe need to lack the necessary need they say that the help they need to have

a half more or less decent life in color is louis in paris thank you. the sight of armed men protesting against a pandemic the lockdown of the u.s. state of michigan last week we ignited the debate about gun control michigan and in other states where some of us have taken place it is legal to openly carry a firearm even in government buildings while some americans are using the opportunity to argue for modifications to the constitutional rights to bear arms others are turning to guns in a time of fear. magazine loaded release and fire. mason fon has been shooting firearms since he was a child but since the covert 19 pandemic the son of vietnamese immigrants has been beefing up his skills. he says there's

a general feeling of insecurity among americans. with the uncertainty of what's going on the pandemic there could be anything that could happen such as riots such as people going crazy you know. there's also also always racism in involved so having a gun will help protect self and also my family. shooting ranges and gun shops in the state of virginia are considered essential business and were allowed to remain open during the shutdown the clark brothers range has twice as many customers as usual owner sean clark says gun sales at the decades old family business have never been so high. there's just some people who said i'm not sure how to deal with this if i have a firearm i can deal with this if somebody tries to take something of mine i can

defend myself. hardly anyone here wears a face mask social distancing doesn't seem to be important but some have come to reflect on what drives americans to guns these days. my explanation is. we americans in the country have gone berserk we think this coronaviruses the next apocalypse and. in people are scared for some. unknown reason and i think that's the ship was that. was fear for some is business for others there's a one hour wait time and extra paperwork to get into this gun shop in the city of arlington the store was completely sold out in the early stages of the shutdown shop owner sean poole and says he is still struggling to keep up with the clients appetite for firearms. we can't meet the demand. of all the customers we

don't have. the variety that we used to have also access to variety meaning of pistol shock and rifles in the name emission ammunition is also being treated just as similar as toilet paper people are by in excess and without any real utilization of it. mason fun has not bought any new weapons since the virus hits for him training at the shooting range is a great excuse to leave the house while he's working from home. in america no more than ever guns are an essential business. i was staying in the us was not just the corona virus that's causing alarm but also giant hornets hundreds of the asian insect stuff the mud hornets have turned up in washington state they give you a nasty sting and they're also a threat to honey bees for. it's only 2 inches long and has a sting that can kill the asian giant hornet has made its 1st appearance in the

u.s. and it has officials worried. so what makes it dangerous is that people don't want to look for them and it is a ground nesting species so if you were to encounter a nasty unbeknown studio you could be stung several times in a big hurry and several stings is enough to kill a human it's responsible for up to 50 deaths a year in japan giving it the menacing nickname made a hole in it. the venom itself is fairly talks or. creates localized necrosis around the one so you'll see multiple flash. has been full verified sightings of the world to lodges horniest in northwestern us and now they'll be emerging from hobbit nation it's not humans who are most at risk but rather the honey bees researches call it the slaughter phase when the hornets

destroy entire colonies of honeybees whose bodies they feed today young well the real danger besides human health is to be a peary industry so pollination is a huge part culture on the agricultural systems we have here in the united states and so if this were to become well established and then start spreading it could be pretty catastrophic beekeepers in the region have reported gruesome hive deaths in recent months scientists will begin trapping queen middle hole in its in the hope of eradicating the species. i'm reminded of the top story we're following for you leaders of germany's struggling car industry has been talking to chancellor merkel about getting state incentives to encourage people to buy more cars and homes comest data show the sectors of spirit saying it's well slump in almost 30 years. watching the news starts to get sick and the human touch when it was all
