jack in scotland prince charles laid a wreath at the war memorial at balmoral castle. meanwhile in france presents a man with a chronic pain his respects at the tomb of the unknown soldier in paris. and here in berlin the german chancellor angela merkel took part in a ceremony at the main memorial to the victims of war and to ship. the bell rang out across an empty city to mark the moment. germany's president in my and chancellor angela merkel maintained a suitable distance from each other at the country's central memorial to the victims self-will steinmeier said germany had accepted its own guilt over time and

taken part in its own internal liberation. before i am not so firm and feel liberation of 945 was imposed from outside it had to come from outside this country had descended too far into the evil the guilds it brought upon itself. but we true played a part in the liberation in our internal liberation this did not take place on a single day rather it was a long and painful process. so none the. smarts after vick. germany's neighbors had need at that time to trust the country again he said and accepting german ness required an emotional understanding off the process. to do it in the johnnies past is a fractured past with responsibility for the murder of millions on the suffering of millions. that breaks our hearts. and that is why i say this country can

only be loved with a broken heart no matter how to leave. ambivalence about making the day a public holiday this year it was but only in the capital and only this time around . it's good to talk i think it should be a memorial day in all of germany and. i hope that everyone understands that this day this date should remain unique. and then not misled by scaremongers more almost like a marks all often fashion fought but. the message from the. germans need to keep liberating themselves actively every day and. at the table with me now call this one a political correspondent melinda crane i'm interested to see

a very moving speech by the president today what struck you just well in terms of pure poignance and even poetry exactly that statement that we just heard about loving germany with a broken heart the fact is that this country has such a painful and fractured past that if you truly want to embrace a form of patriotism it comes with pain and i think that's important but it's also a message to all of those. on the right wing in this country who would like to wipe the slate clean and say let's forget the past and let's simply glorify this country and he's telling them no it can only come with them devil and secondly 2 other things this idea that confronting the past is an ongoing active process of liberation he mentioned also liberating ourselves from the temptations of nationalism populism hatred zina phobia all of those also very relevant messages

for this time and then finally his words and we didn't hear them there but he said in 1945 germany stood entirely alone now when we say never again it also means never again alone and then he very much reaffirmed germany's commitment to europe which is also so crucial exactly at this time where much of europe is suffering great economic distress to take over we are talking 75 years since nazi germany was defeated is the significance of world war 2 starting to fade from public consciousness here in the country i think there's a different kind of consciousness i've actually been here 3 decades now and i've seen this shift over time and the crewmember ations precisely of this event and this day have always been a measure of how germany is currently looking at and dealing with its past and in fact the germans have coined a word for that for granted in heights but they had to go confrontation with the past so i think it's become a quieter process for younger germans they don't have the same sense of deep

responsibility even guilt and maybe pain in the same way as the older generation and yet those who are educated and thoughtful for them it is acutely part of who they are as germans melinda we can't have this conversation without mentioning the fact that germany now has a far right party in parliament how concerned all people here about the rise of populism very very concerned and that is why there were several direct messages by the president in his. speech exactly to that point saying we must work at this remember this doesn't stop that message by the way is a message also to right wing supporters because one of the leaders of the alternative for germany party the f.d.a. has said that the 12 years of nazi dictatorship were little more than a speck of i quote bird poop in the overall picture of germany's glorious history now that of course is a very very problematic form of populism that can lead to the errors and

crimes of the past being repeated so his words today were very much words addressed to a nation that has been struggling with the rise of a far right party ok melinda crane chief political correspondent thank you for that . the race to find a vaccine is gaining pace in south africa hundreds of health workers are being given a century old tuberculosis vaccine to test whether it can protect against corona virus trials also and the way elsewhere including the netherlands and australia if effective the vaccine could be a vital weapon against the virus. it's just a small puncture but it could make a huge impact on tackling the covert 19 pandemic that at least is the hope of researches who this week began a vaccination trial in cape town. the team around dot to carry an opto on wants to

investigate whether the tuberculosis vaccine b.c.g. can reduce the severity of corona virus related symptoms the reason behind it researches have experienced positive so-called nonspecific effects of b c g in the past babies adolescents the elderly there have been a reduction in the number of respiratory tract infections in individuals who received a b. c. d. vaccine versus the ones who do not receive it so that's a very interesting nonspecific effect. in order to investigate this further a minimum of $500.00 health care workers will receive a shot in the coming weeks hof will be given the actual vaccine and the other half a placebo through follow up phone calls the researches will determine the health condition of the participants and so the effect of the vaccine the trial is

conducted and funded by task a clinical research center based in cape town c.e.o. andrus daya khan says the speed of the results depends on several factors. and on this. program more cases where you have to fall through. the protection and if you also depend on the number of cases returning for more people we can improve. trunks through. the next big challenge for the researches is to secure additional funding but chandra's diet is optimistic. basically because i expect the 13 results. positive. and also through a lot of positive energy for health care. right through to the fact that we're

trying to do something that might actually work if it was a lot of people could profit from b c g a dose for tempi people only costs a little mole than 2 u.s. dollars so if more on this it's trying to. stop tb tossed force which awaits us from geneva. so as we all because he. is being trial for the possibility that it could be used to protect people from covert 19 does that mean that they'll be less of the drug to do what it's currently useful and that is of course to treat or other to prevent tb. so the b.c.g. vaccination would be happy if you could be proven that the pieces you've actually nation can have one can read. the b.c.g. vaccine in relation to lead. it protects in terms of tuberculosis only the newborn babies. born in any countries to develop very

aggressive forms of tuberculosis so for us the community at large the b.c.g. vaccine is good but only now and then we countries and for newborn babies the it's not good for us as i both or 40 young adolescents it doesn't protect against t.v. so that's what you used right now is a colleague said it's cheap and if you chose that it is efficiency in front of the it could be good i don't think we are worried about shortages or for obesity vaccine and this is proven to work of you don't think it would be possible to produce it at scale what i think we are worried is we need the vaccine for tuberculosis to work for people who are adults and do a show that it's possible to avoid the infection and the disease it can be and that's where we are worried because we have stock in our perspectives i'm not too

close unless we secured some sustained attention and investment even if forced to birth right i'm hearing you say that there wouldn't be shortages for full for babies who need access to b. c t as as people trial. for the fight against them but just to pick up on some of that you are talking about i mean we're talking about tuberculosis being the world's deadliest diseases sanctioning yet we still don't have a vaccine for adults can you explain that why is that the case. yes this is a very good question how do we end up with a disease that basically we have seen is 869 a diagnosis and since the beginning of the 20th century a treatment but we never did manage to have a vaccine that protects adults and and young people are protected actually everyone to develop to be got effect and then seek we never secure enough attention for t.v.

and we never have an enthusiasm that we see right now enthusiasm or in fear that we see it right now for example because $170.00 days of existence more than $100.00 maxine candidates you're going to propose is a 150 years of existence to vaccine candidates so the fear factor and attention is not there yet but also it is very likely that for the world that is now so mobilized for coheed and i'm speaking here a lot of this isn't europe north america and north not the north part of the world global north keep us perceive this not our problem it's the problem of somebody else but not ours and that is the problem of the coming south and political groups ok we'll have to leave it there that's because it's to head off to stop tb task force thank you for that insight. now for

a brief look at other stories from around the world more than 260 people have been killed tearing heavy rains in east africa kenya somalia want to and you can't always do it and is to raise an 11000 people have been affected by this year's floods. process. began demolishing homes and shops in the kenyan capital nairobi officials claim the buildings were cited on government land in one of the city's poorest neighborhoods at least one person has been injured. 150 workers at a nice processing plant in northwestern germany have test positive for corona virus and a new rules issued this week that means the municipality of close falls is an infection hotspot and will see strict blocked on misha's remain for it least a week longer than the epa toll has been temporarily shut down. spanish authorities have recovered almost 20000 historic facts in a major crackdown on ot traffickers officers

a risk of 100 people the pieces included some very rare objects from pretty columbia in south america. unemployment in the us has surged to almost 15 percent that's the highest level since the great depression more than $20000000.00 americans lost their jobs last month as coronavirus walked down slated to a massive. economic freeze employment fell in all sectors hospitality and leisure who are among the hardest hit. a monthly drop in april is the largest on record before the crisis and employment in the u.s. was at a 50 year. one of the churns from days of the business joins me now at the table hi monica. so how big a blow is this to the u.s. of a market where it's huge the scale of the job losses is president of the total number

of jobs lost during the month of april alone is double the amount of jobs lost during the great depression just to put it in perspective and when we look at it i mean we come from a pretty good sort of situation a few months ago new jobless claims were less than $200000.00 new 50 year low as you mentioned only about $1700000.00 americans were collecting benefits now we're talking about more than $33000000.00 americans collecting benefits with more than $3000000.00 applying for it only last week unemployment rate back then was just a few months ago was 3.5 percent and now we're talking of 15 percent so this is the biggest crisis for american workers in the u.s. labor market in a century the government responded to this well that they're trying very hard because obviously it's in their interest to get to the economy going again eventually when the pandemic sort of subsides whenever that will be so the federal

government has sharply increased the unemployment benefits they've stepped in with massive subsidies in order to support and encourage companies so that they keep workers on their payrolls when the economy reopens again but of course there's the fear that millions of jobs will nevertheless be permanently lost because not every company will survive despite those massive subsidy programs big names like abby and being. sounds this week that they were led to go 25 percent of their staff only yesterday announced they'll sort of slash 50 or 40 percent of their staff united airlines saying alright by fall when we don't get any war support from the government we will have to let go 30 percent of our people so badly and investors how they are reacting there this is one of those puzzles that we have to deal with in business all the time that the financial world and the really khana me seem to be worlds apart suddenly wall street in the last couple of days was actually going

up today the dow seems to be going up and on nonstop we have to wait and see how all of that plays out but it seems that investors are more focusing trying very hard to focus on the positive that maybe the economy will reopen again that the lockdown could be eased very optimistic but maybe it's all just wishful thinking we'll have to wait and see and raise the seas all we can really do if you want to just from a business thank you for that. there is a national amenity fund is worried about an economic collapse in brazil the country went through a major recession in 2016 and has just begun to stabilize the current 1900 pandemic is threatening a full recovery. from up here it all looks peaceful the statue of christ the redeemer overlooking the copacabana. but just downstairs
