used to control the coronavirus pandemic france and england are amongst those that to make announcements today u.k. prime minister barak's johnson has been criticised for sending out confusing messages in his national address on sunday so has today's clarification in parliament removed the confusion i'm phil gayle in berlin and this is the day. our challenge now is to find a way to pull with the preserve our hard won gains easing the burden of a lot of the public are very hesitant not outrage and i also recommend you not only results we shall introduce new restrictions that u.k. pulled a record 14 days of so high station prince national arrives the country needs but this time it's clarity of reassurance and at the moment both are in pretty short

supply but our journey has reached the most perilous would very well be removed could be disastrous. also on the day i have a german horses and jockeys are the 1st past the post in europe horse racing has resumed here after a 2 month hiatus because of a pandemic it's and we're happy to be back on our horses and riding again and that the horses can race server their usual distances it's important that every business gets the chance to reopen and every athlete and every team want to return to action . the british prime minister paris johnson has published his government's plan for easing the lockdown in england i don't see other things mr johnson's plan calls for the wearing of face masks in public and sets out the conditions necessary for a gradual be opening of schools and businesses and these details follow sunday's national address by the prime minister which prompted confusion and crew. he says. should

they stay or should they go british prime minister boris johnson has replaced the nation stay at home slogan with the stay alert message the rebranding comes as johnson tries to sell britons on his plans to ease the lockdown but trying to balance restrictions while pushing people to return to work has proven confusing. i just floating his cars judson had a great opportunity to get a really clear sense of direction to even just say look we're not entirely sure of next step we're on them but it's at a very very bad thank you. right it's more easy to answer. people continues right now it's just a few people. believe it last night. johnson 2nd shot at outlining his latest plans to the nation came before the house of commons on monday our challenge now is to find

a way for with the preserves our hard won gains easing the burden of the lock down i'll be counted to the house this is a supremely difficult balance to strike his roadmap for the country set out a 3 stage approach to end britain's lockdown it begins wednesday with a relaxation of limits on outdoor exercise and he's encouraging the healthy to go back to work if they can non-essential shops and schools for some students will reopen in june if there are no new spikes in the numbers the gradual reopening of restaurants bars and other businesses is planned for july if the data supports it the u.k. has the world's 2nd highest cope at 900 death toll johnson fears if he doesn't get this right a 2nd deadly wave of the infection would have a heavy human cost. straight to london where we join parts are welcome so tell us some more about what people in england will be able to do from

wednesday that they couldn't before. well not much is going to change for the majority of people here in the united kingdom boris johnson had to strike a very fine balance between those that have been pushing him to ease the lock down to open up the economy as soon as possible and as far as possible and his own experiences near death experience having been in intensive care with covert 19 and he chose a careful rather conditional approach so from wednesday onwards people will be able to go to the parks and not only exercise once a day but do that as much as they please throughout the day they allowed to sit on pensions picnic are based on that even allowed to drive to other parks if they want to throughout town other region where they live and and. encourage to go back to work there was some confusion on that but for example construction and manufacturing workers those that can't work at home encouraged to now return to

work from wednesday on or it so talk us through some of the reactions to mr jones i'm spent yesterday on the codifications that he made today parliament. well there frankly was a lot of confusion after his announcement yesterday lots of people have ahead have put lots of high hopes in that announcement how that road map out of the lock down what looked like we didn't hear much about that last night now impala mend still not many clarifications on some open questions for example how that quarantine will look like for anybody coming into the united kingdom and when that would for example be put in place so again lots of criticism today the time of national unity there being clearly over for example the labor opposition leader keir starmer asking. a series of questions on how boris johnson was

trying to give the public reassurance that it was safe to actually use the way out of the lockdown and the cole criticism behind it is that the government here has changed its message from a stay at home which was in place for the last couple of months to stay alert and really the has not been a lot of clarification on what that means stay alert and who that counts for and this was actually the reaction also in other regions across the united kingdom such as wales scotland and northern ireland with the scottish leaders saying that she believes boris johnson's message of staying alert was not safe enough for scotland so she decided that stay at home would still be in place there and that she would not ease out of the lockdown. now so very different approaches across the united kingdom there are very distinct nights of kingdom and lots of criticism now piling up against the prime minister boris johnson. germany on the united states.

protests over recent days how have people there in the u.k. been reacting. it really is the complete opposite here i would say people wanted to stay in the lockdown because they thought that was just safer to do so the reality has just been very grim and the united kingdom with the death toll being the 2nd highest in the world and people were afraid for a long time to leave their houses and they have been very very much social distancing as far as i observed it on the streets so people did not want the lockdown to be quickly i think boris johnson is not doing that he has a somewhat cautious approach but even that a lot of people that i talked today to today even boris johnson supporters saying they were disappointed by his announcement that it was clear that it was that he

was opening the economy too quickly and that they felt it was safer to stay in the lockdown for a longer while. has taken a different approach to many others in its response to this crisis being for the british people. well the government clearly has taken a different approach boris johnson there when from bragging about shaking covert 900 patients hands to being in intensive care himself and then changing the government's approach now becoming more serious of course about this pandemic but in the meantime a crisis of epic proportions unfolded here the death toll having risen very very quickly absolute lack of testing a lack of protective equipment for doctors and nurses and therefore doctors nurses and care take us across the united kingdom dying from the disease absolutely

disastrous circumstances in care homes across the country and the government having completely neglected that for weeks so really a lot of criticism now piling up against the government and i think more and more british people are now starting to realize that some of those mistakes could have been prevented by the government shot approach in london thank you france is also easing pandemic restrictions and people are now allowed to leave home without a permit many shops and businesses reopened currently standing at more than 26000 the country's coffee 19 death toll is the world's 5th highest. the streets of paris is starting to look more like the usual crowded selves after 8 weeks in lockdown french citizens are venturing out again it's been a cautious reopening with most shops welcoming customers and many people returning

to work. i think it's still very risky for the population but costs are rising for companies so we need to go back to work but it all you. know some people know i'm not afraid everything should be fine if people respect the distancing roles i took the metro this morning and people were really cautious you . could give a young. traffic on the paris metro is lighter than normal mosques and now mandatory on all public transport and signs advise commuters on how to maintain social distancing. people can now travel up to 100 kilometers without filling out a form to explain why. primary schools will also begin to reopen this week although the path forward for children in touch is remains

tentative. will see if it works the recess hours how will take in the children and the parents and to the school will they wear masks what will we do if children are sick or run a high temperature so there are lots of questions in terms of organization. that you need. to loosen restrictions are based on encouraging numbers including a decline in daily coronavirus deaths or thora he's warned that restrictions could be reimposed if necessary. the hope is that prudence will be enough to further reduce the spread of the virus allowing friends to continue on its road to recovery . well world health organization says it hopes that germany can bring a recent flare up of coverage 19 infections in the control the country's been scrambling to contain fresh outbreaks in some states meanwhile health officials say they are closely monitoring a recent uptake in the country's virus infection rate as it continues as germany

continues to reopen the economy. while using has become the name of the game in germany and not only at supermarkets now agel america like much of the nation is waiting to see the effects of gradually easing restrictions in recent weeks. but other things it's important to me to once again draw attention to the fact that we are now in a new phase of the pandemic it will now be necessary in easing restrictions that we ensure safety so following the basic requirements that means keeping our distance wearing a mouth and nose covering and having consideration for others. that's very important . because the. closed doors of new infections some linked to meat processing plants have emerged in several german districts that pushed new cases in

those areas above the maximum agreed by medical and state government leaders and locally put the brakes on easing restrictions elsewhere in germany there are some signs of returning to normality as many businesses reopen but on the streets the vocal minority is getting louder thousands of people demonstrated on saturday accusing politicians of infringing their rights concerns are growing the protests are being used as a platform for conspiracy theorists and far right extremists. was about her picks in claims hateful stereotypes theories that either result in a scapegoat or in the kind of world villain is supposed to be pulling all the strings people spreading this want to stir up conspiracy theories that haven't gain much traction before. anyone who spreads something like this want to divide our country and turn people against each other. dimension of monday so the opening of berlin's coronavirus treatment center weeks later than originally

planned the hope is that beds here will stay empty when the effects of easing restrictions become clear. let's talk more about those conspiracy theories there's a video claimed to expose what it says is the hidden agenda behind covered 19 which has been making the rounds on social media despite facebook and you tube agreeing to ban it from their platforms the documentary style film called plan demi has been viewed tens of millions of times and features a controversial scientist who makes numerous unfounded claims many of which have been defunct by fact checkers the man who is heading the pandemic pass or the marshall is a health care reporter for the investigative journalism website pro publica and the video had him scratching his head so he's been speaking to the man behind the film mickey willis they say if he could find any answers he joins us from new jersey welcome to d.w. so let's let's talk about the the the biggest claim that this but there is

a hidden agenda behind the 19 pandemic does the film or did mr willis say what this hidden agenda is well i think that is the biggest question about it and the title of the video itself or the film is called plant demick which would imply you just think there's a sort of conspiracy behind coronavirus hand demick and so i asked a filmmaker. what is the point of your film i mean i watch the film it's 26 minutes long it has all kinds of very wild conspiracy theory stacked on top of each other and there are so many wild statements in the film that you have a hard time sorting out what the allegations are so i asked the filmmaker if he could just try and explain the point to me just help me understand his thesis and i said i said my understanding of your thesis are you saying that. this was

a planned. in 1000 pandemic so that wealthy people could make money from vaccines because that's one of the themes of the film and he actually told me that he wasn't sure what his point is either i mean he told me that he's a they're still exploring what their point is this this film is just a preview of future film that's going to be coming later this summer so this is sort of a 26 minute preview and it was just surprising to me that he didn't really know whether he's exploring right now what what the film is going to be about this was just one interview he said with researcher a very controversial researcher. and so that was sort of what was surprising to me because i have i had this video i had this video shared with me so many times by people i trust and forwarded on facebook and my brother who's a pastor called me and said people were talking to him about it and so that's what

i want so i started to look into it because people are believing this film and i think some people just really as you say one of the. yeah i'm one of the office sent things about the article that you wrote to is that you said ok lots of other people have fact checked and the claims that he's made in that so that's not what you did so what will you write doing when you spoke to him. well what i realized is a lot of people don't have the media literacy and sophistication when they watch videos or when they look at means online or when they read stories online or on social media they don't seem to have the sophistication to be able to tell what's a credible piece of reporting and what's i asked piece of propaganda and so what my column is intended to do is help people sort the difference between credible reporting and propaganda. ok now most of us that we don't have the time or indeed

expertise to check every assertion in every documentary or news item that we see so so basically comes down to trust so how should we decide who to trust. well so i put together this checklist and my goal with the checklist was obviously i had to look up this guy's phone number i had to call him no one's going to be able to have the time to do that so there are some principles though that any viewer or any listener or any reader can follow to assess the overall credibility of the information that's being provided to them so for example i think one of the key criteria is whether or not the presentation of the facts or the allegations is one sided or not in most journalism you know i'm an investigative reporter with most fair reporting they try and at least acknowledge that the other side exists they don't necessarily have to give each will share to both sides of an argument but you should at least acknowledge that there's

a credible argument on the other side of the argument that's being advanced in your story. in this in this film i asked mickey willis the filmmaker i said well were you trying at all to be sharing any alternate side of the story for example the alternate side of the story here would be the story that's been widely reported that this is a pandemic it's global proportions but it's not a conspiracy by wealthy people so that they can get rich on vaccines and i guess and what he told me is that it really wasn't his goal to have anything more than a one sided presentation he just really wanted to have a very biased report good talking to thank you so much for joining us marshall allen from pro publica thank you. horse racing has resumed across germany after a 2 month hiatus because of the pandemic is the 1st major horse racing country in

europe to restart racing restrictions were eased the races were tightly controlled with riders requests required to wear face masks and spectators barred from the venues. race day at berlin's hopper gotten racecourse the stands empty access to the stables is restricted and the jockeys socially distancing wearing face masks and trash dark areas riding the hot favorite today here in knows what it's like to race on an empty course having won twice in cologne on friday. and we happy to be back on our horses and riding again and that the horses can race server their usual distances it's important that every business gets the chance to reopen every athlete and every team want to return to action. but despite the coronavirus measures some things remain the same the horses mask free still struck their stuff in the preyed ring even if there's nobody that watch them and of course

bats is still taken with a lack of other life support providing a boon to the horseracing industry for his moods and those with whom yes we want to make the most of this restart evidently the football blunders legal resumes this coming weekend so that will push us to one side that we're speaking to many t.v. stations and feel we've earned the chance to get back to where we were. an opportunity and that nothing is a given on the racecourse stocker and his mount rubaiyat 2nd from the left were pushed hard all the way down the final furlong but they lived up to their billing as favorites german horseracing was 1st past the post in europe it's return a template for other race courses to follow. well ed became rich from v.w. sport can talk us through the way that sport is looking to return to some semblance of normality welcome germany does seem to be leading the way with the horse racing

and indeed elsewhere well that's right but it's not only the horses that are being given a run out this week as footballers will also be taking to the field this weekend now it's not just germany's top flight the button is legal which we back in action but also the 2nd division fighter bonus league now of course they will be. as they're known here in germany it goes to game so games with no fans so that will keep a lot of people away and of course reduce the risk of the coronavirus spreading but germany is actually the 1st of europe's top 5 big football leagues to return selection and i think that's going to surprise a lot of people around the world because i think for a long time germany has fostered this reputation is very calm and sensible nation deals you know with the numbers you know really relies on the numbers and a lot of critics of come out and actually said this is seems very impetuous for such a you know such a respected countries germany to come out and put everybody at risk and actually the only numbers they seem to be caring about right now is the bottom line of the bank balances and i think this is really the vial of people inside and outside of

germany putting people at risk no no found so so presumably talking about putting the players' officials at risk absolutely yes so we haven't actually seen any problems with the horseracing yet of course because that might take a few days the surface but we've already seen issues with the return to the bonus league are ok there's not been games yet but to the normal dresden players from the 2nd division actually reported with positive diagnoses of the coronavirus this week now you have to ask yourself would they have got that had they not been back in training preparing for seems like quite an early restart to the action and i think you know that's that's happened in an isolated training complex so what's going to happen when these players start moving around the country and i think it does create a bit of a problem when you know german people on the street are asked to. carry on respecting these very strict social distancing measures yet the same time the urge to choose in and watch the bonus league there's also the case you made for the for the players actually been treated as guinea pigs to some degree you know you know 2

players wasn't enough to stop the league restarting so how many will be is there a number we don't actually know that and i think it's very unusual time and it could be a p.r. disaster do you think other countries are likely to follow suit well spain have already said they will be keeping an eye on what happens in germany this weekend and i'm sure many other countries will the head of league of spain's top division actually came out at the weekend and said they are hoping to restart by june 12th and they'll be implementing a lot of the measures that germany have for instance weekly testing or even more if necessary. but you know if it doesn't work for the pioneers league this weekend and if a lot of players come out next week and have been diagnosed then what exactly will they have to do you know we'll have to do then clearly the measures one works and everyone of you back to the to back to the drawing board of my favorite. sport thank you. i'm not was the day as ever they come session continues up online you find us on twitter i've outstayed open usual
