a symbol of resilience in the fight against the coronavirus but also strong advocates for further action from governments. in places like pakistan nurses have taken to the streets to call for better safety measures to protect them while working inside hospitals. in south africa they protested outside a cape town hospital also calling for better washing conditions and more protection from the virus. the struggle faced by nurses is now in focus around the world among those praising their heroism is the pope who said they deserve to be fully valued but also bush's street artist banksy his latest work game changer is on display at a hospital in southampton. joining me now is how it kassin he heads the international council of nurses in geneva switzerland hello to you how is your

organization estimates that over 90000 health care workers worldwide have been infected with co the 19 and that hundreds of millions have died why is this happening. good evening and happy international nurses day to you we have been very alarmed at the lack of protective personal equipment that's been reported to us by nurses right the way around the world and we have also seen high levels of health care workers and nurses infections infection rights of 151617 percent which is why too hard and then in addition we have heard tragically of the deaths of nurses we now where around the world of the deaths of more than 260 nurses we believe the are related to the lack of personal protective equipment but governments are not collecting this information in

a standardized and systematic way we think that seem porton because of course we need to recognize and honor those people who have died but if we collected this information it could add to our the science and our understanding about how the disease is treated smith said where people are working when they have contracts it it their symptoms it could help us improve infection prevention and control measures so that's why we want governments to collect this information it seems poignant on international nurses day 200th anniversary of the birth of florence nightingale if she was here with us i believe she would be calling for this as well . how would any way i will be about the fact that the work of nurses has been put on this in the spotlight so to say with this kind of eyes pandemic and we know that many nurses around the world often work long hours for very little pay is it you hear that nurses generally are undervalued by society. yes it is yes it is

we are seeing the huge physical pressure and strain that nurses are under where working credibly long hours wearing personal protective equipment there's also the real mental health and psychological strain caring for people who are very anxious higher death rates people separated for their family and friends often it's now the nurse who may be the last hand that the dying patient touches or vices that they see and we've great that we've seen people around the world come to their windows come to their balconies to applaud and congratulate nurses but what i hennessey saying to me is that's great but it needs the applause needs to translate into actions we want personal protective equipment we don't want to be subject to in some countries where nurses have been abused we went into this shortage 6000000 nurses short world wide these are things that require investment money

political commitments to strengthen health systems and the health workforce and that's the legacy that nurses who would want to see from coronavirus i'm sure ok that's how it cason of the international council of nurses and here. it's. doxes all blinking to understand illness in children with possible links to the corona virus the condition she has symptoms with the rare potentially life threatening kawasaki disease which causes toxic shock cases were 1st reported in britain is city and spain and now in the united states there seem quest is of kids with the disorder. i mean the fear and uncertainty of the pandemic it was one of the few comforts for families to coronavirus really affected children now warnings they could be more vulnerable than 1st thought. this is every parent's

nightmare right that your child me or surely be affected by this riders but it's something we have to consider seriously. the u.s. hotspot of new york is investigating dozens of children taken to hospital all showing symptoms similar to cows awkward disease a rare inflammatory condition. and it's associated with high fevers a rash oftentimes a mcdonald discomforts implementing things like. doctors increasingly see a link to coated 19. the reason i believe that we're seeing we're right now is just because of the sheer number of children who have been exposed the concern is also growing in europe as children head back to school after weeks of lockdown now parents are asking if it's really safe. when i am in the news from the last 10 days is that this disease is similar to callous sucky for young

children missed don't have a lot of questions but for now healthful fortunes around the world have few answers other than to be vigilant and gather more data we've asked for is for the global network of clinicians to be on alert for this and to ensure that they capture information on children systematically the statistics still paint a positive picture for children showing them unlikely to fall ill to the coronavirus and doctors stressed the link to cause ocular like symptoms still isn't 100 percent. like other european nations spain has started easing some of its current virus restrictions restaurants hotels and museums in some cities on now allowed to open but many regions are still locked down the government say is almost off the country has yet to meet the criteria for lock downs to be lifted and even in cities that have received the green lights business owners remain cautious from city this is the 1st time in 2 months there. has opened his doors he stands

at his coffee machine at 7 in the morning just like he has in the last 28 years ever since this problem opened a cafe in the center of civil but things are very different now new regulations state he can only serve customers outside with half as many tables as he would nonetheless until your hopes for a few patrons book or his cafe might not survive. their government but i would like the last few months have been really tough we had operating cost but absolutely no income state assistance held but it's still just learned that we have to title back and somehow keep our business afloat and. we have to try at least to be honest it's all very depressing right. there a lot of i can but we don't we are i civill fulfils all the criteria to qualify for an easing of social restrictions a low rate of infections and

a good supply of hospital beds that puts it at a better footing than the capital madrid but many civil businesses will still stay closed this time of year is peak season for antonio damasio specialty snails but currently at his restaurant he hasn't even set out the shuttles he's running a small delivery service but had to lay off his whole staff is frustrated by a lack of clear information from the government. it come out on the record we were just told ok from today on you can open again here but up until the day before they told us they didn't publicly announce anything about what that meant and exactly what regulations would have to be for you. besides restaurants small businesses and hotels are being allowed to open this week at least on paper many shopkeepers also keep their businesses closed due to the strict regulations some have already given up and to shop windows and forensics are becoming more and more common in spanish

cities franchise spain is one of the country's most affected by the crisis at all levels where the pictures of overcrowded hospitals only a few weeks old the latest economic figures are causing new experts are warning of unemployment rates of more than 30 percent. say the terrace is slowly beginning to fill up he's been able to reemploy 3 office format stuff he's hoping the next easing off restrictions might mean he can soon invited customers inside to . let's turn now to a dispute between 1000000000 and brussels over the monetary policy it began last week when germany's highest court ruled that the european central bank's bond buying was possibly illegal the e.c.b. responded saying it took orders only from the e.u.'s highest court not germany's on monday chancellor angela merkel stressed that the dispute was solvable but the route has traded and legal minefield. the european central bank has spent

billions in recent years buying bonds from member countries being was to prop up economic growth in the flagging euro area. but last week germany's constitutional court said some of the seabees actions were illegal under german law it ruled the bank should have thought more about the possible negative impact of its policy it's the 1st time the top german court has pitted itself against the use institutions in this way so does it mean a big clash at the heart of europe not according to the german government. as ever though the european court of justice is the guardian of the european treaties in our view the constitutional court has not questioned that it has merely called for a careful balance and justification of the policy. but the european central bank said it does not follow the rulings of national courts and commission

president on the line is considering legal action against germany opposition politicians in berlin sense this battle could last for some time quotes because the in the short term we do not expect any fallout from the court's decision but in the medium to long term we face long postponed questions about the future architecture of economic and monetary union the open question is will we have more joint liability or will be strengthen the principle of fiscal responsibility in the e.u. . does this for i am and sadly this is above all a political failure the european central bank's hands are tied by politicians it's not allowed to bankroll or financially support the member states but on the other hand there's no common financial policy this conflict will require a political solution it's not helpful that other countries which are at odds with brussels such as poland have applauded the decision of the german court. chancellor

merkel has so far only said she wants a clever response to the questions raised by the case that response could have a big impact on the future of the euro and her government has been given just 3 months to react and i'm now joined by francisco brandt now she's a member of the german parliament for the green party hello to you francisco what is your party's position on this matter do you agree with germany's constitutional court that the e.c.b. its bond buying scheme is partially illegal. it we have taken of course into account and have learned about the costs were judgement and i think it's up to the bundestag now to assess this ruling and take an appropriate decisions it's not as easy to be frank because we have to affirm every hour for the independence of 2 european central bank which is very important and dear to us and the 2nd is we have to reassert to european court to

european court of justice supremes rule in interpreting european law and that is the role of to bring the stack now to reaffirm just to make this clear so that there is no misunderstandings and secondly we have screens we are pushing for a stronger fiscal european policy because we believe that european currency union needs a fiscal policy and your court ruling has just shown again that there are limits to monetary policy and that we need a strong fiscal policy now that berlin cannot block any longer ok france is about look at my question back see what is your party's position do you agree with the german court in this. no seriously for me as a politician it's not as if i agree or disagree i take the consequences and i have to assess them politically and we have to make sure that night and the legal framework of the european union are put in danger so we have to reaffirm the role

of the european court of justice as being to seoul and high as interpreter a few people all the highest sorry interpreter of european law and we have to reaffirm the independence of to be in central bank because we as a european as a german bundesliga open a pandora's box every single of course parliament can do that and we don't have to talk about independence of the central bank anymore so these are the consequences you have to take from that. ok so france is the german government spokesperson said that this is not a clash at the heart of europe but we now have the e.u. commission to essentially threatening legal action against germany how can it not be. so far there is no european law that has been really broken but it might be to potentially and of course it's a role of the european commission to go and look into that only the european commission is responsible for the treaties for the e.u.

treaties and making sure every vendor state is responding to that so i you know it is of course the role of the european commission to go and look at that as it into that into very much detail so we're looking to have results of the european commission and ever and in the meantime we have to make this a coup you know to come to a good and and i think that is what i said earlier is too real for. the positioning of the buddhist tact where it's essential to in re or from independence of a central bank we're not going to demand anything after your consent for bank european central bank is only reliable towards the european parliament not national parliaments ok that is francisca broadness she's a member of the german parliament for the green party thank you. thank you. now for a brief look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world russia has the world's 2nd highest number of corona virus infections off to reporting just

and 11000 new cases on tuesday the country's total is now more than 230000 officials say the high numbers on the result of a huge tasting campaign the death rate there still remains relatively low. afghanistan's interior ministry says more than a dozen people have been killed in a gun attack on a maternity hospital in kabul newborn babies their mothers and nurses are reported to be amongst the dead the taliban has denied involvement in the incident. frankfurt airport is introducing new health measures for passengers in the event of a rise in the number of flights it comes as germany's biggest airline announced it will expand its operations in june travelers and stoff nest which faces lost at all times as social distancing may prove a challenge the electric car make a tesla has restarted production at its factory in california in defiance of local restriction or does the chief executive in on mass has been in this standoff with

authorities for weeks over the mission's put in place to prevent the spread of the current eyes baker it is is yet with more of that story let's get us up to speed chris day a long mosque is a bit of a fan of twitter as we know uses the platform a lot and on monday he announced that tesla which has been shot since model of the sort of the californian factory has been shot since march 23rd he announced on twitter that they were going to resume production he wrote tesla is restarting production today against alameda county rules i will be on the line with everyone else if anyone is arrested i ask that it only be made so the factory employs about 10000 people in the county and some employees told local reporters on the ground that they'd already been working since friday actually so the state loring california allows a fine of up to $1000.00 us dollars per day flouting the restrictions ok or 90 days

jail it doesn't really look like they are going to be any arrests because the police have said they're not going to arrest him right or far as he's there's a bit of back and forth about donald trump has chimed in now just shortly before i came into the studio actually he said i'm on twitter in support of tesla and you know mosque he said that california should start restart today now so it's a bit of ok to look to talk to us about the lawsuits that tesla has also filed against the county right so over the weekend test. have filed a lawsuit against alameda county now alameda county have basically said that test is factories non-essential business so they can't reopen like some of it is mrs. moscow has threatened to move its his crib quarters on twitter to other texas or nevada maybe at the end suggested that the company might stop working in california altogether which would be a huge financial loss to the state but it's important to point out that where the factory is situated is in

a pot of california that has stricter laws than the rest of the state so the governor gavin newsome announced rules to allow some manufacturers to open but where you know me to where it is situated they cop so that's what he's particularly annoyed about he sang why basically why can't we stop production as well we've hodgins down it's ok for a bakery says with that thank you the current virus has transformed our everyday lives but it's also transforming our cities and how we get around the pandemic is inspiring a push for climate friendly mobility with more space for people and bikes and less for cars to belgium's capital. it's early morning brussels is still asleep as its traffic revolution begins 170 signs are put up explaining that pedestrians and cyclists now have priority across the central part

of the city. but we've noticed that the measures we're introducing to reduce traffic are making the city more resilient at a time when we're fighting a pandemic. vs the we want to give pedestrians and cyclists more space. and that makes our city more livable healthier safer. yes all of all of their traffic lights in central brussels have been virtually switched off because pedestrians and cyclists now have right of way and they're allowed to use the entire road cars and buses have to respect a 20 kilometer per hour speed limit the new traffic rules are intended to help people comply with social distancing going to produce it here in the city center the speed limit was 30 kilometers per hour anyway driving a bit slower doesn't make a huge difference to me. at the cyclists feel that there's not always place for you especially in the big 3. spots there's no.

hiking no protection for the cyclists. there is a lot of aggression focused could be it's a good thing for the quality of life in the city of bicycles get more space. life is starting to pick up again in belgium after the pandemic lockdown shops are allowed to open people are meeting up again so everything is at a distance and under strict hygiene rules. face masks are mandatory in busses trams and subways are being sold in vending machines as well 5 masks for 7 europe's covered $900.00 forced life in brussels to come to a halt for 2 months time the city spent overhauling its traffic policy to make it more friendly to cyclists and now that the city is beginning to wake up again it's likely that these changes will survive the pandemic some sport now in formula
