russia allowing a gradual easing of the lockdown across the country the load if you will of based on an analysis of the situation and on the opinion of chief medical officer as the heads of each individual region decide what restrictive and preventative measures should be in place and on how i didn't want order they can be gradually eased or maintained in the snitching isa couldn't. moscow has been the hardest hit by the coronavirus over half of russia's cases are in the capital but the lockdown is also a huge blow to russia's economy and that is the main worry for many people now. for the most and i don't think it's too early to come out of lockdown most people don't have any savings and people need something to live on a way to feed their family and pay their rent. and that not so easy i think the restrictions should be in place for 3 years why not make it 5 that just messing people around. there could look around people are out on the streets anywhere no

matter what restrictions or. political analysts argue that the kremlin's decision to ease restrictions is politically motivated and surveys show trust and blood in their putin has fallen to new lows. the main reason for these changes is that russia doesn't want to fall behind the west much and many european countries have already started coming out of corn chain they've been successful in their battle against the pandemic. things are going back to normal there knows that if he falls behind he will lose out when it comes to public opinion in russia. meanwhile off shore it is in the capital have been frantically working. to expand the number of beds for covert 1000 patients turning buildings like this exhibition center into temporary hospitals after all thousands of new cases are still being reported in russia every day. well that report was produced by our moscow

correspondent emily sure when we asked emily how much of a threat russian frustration with the lockdown is to president putin trust and letting your putin is lower than it has been for over 10 years usually the trend that we see is that the russian government kind of takes a hit in approval ratings when people are upset or dissatisfied but not putin himself but that seems to be changing now the economic dissatisfaction is a huge factor and a sociologist i spoke to recently was saying that if economic kind of measures from the government aren't stepped up and that support isn't there then the kremlin could have protests on its hands when case lock down really is left it . i want to show it in moscow now the u.s. government's top expert on infectious diseases dr anthony found she has proved that reopening the country too soon could cause a new spike in coronavirus cases testifying from home he expressed concerns to

a senate hearing about the risk of a fresh outbreak if the easing of lockdown measures is rushed they also told the panel covered $900.00 votes who wouldn't be available in time for the autumn school . is good but i says from d.w. corresponds to all of a silence in washington welcome oliver what else did dr fox you have to say. only issued a stark warning phil as you just mentioned and one that is very unpleasant to hear for president trump well he does say that the u.s. is moving in the right direction but at the same time he says the outbreak in the country is not under control and that opening the economy too quickly would result in new spikes and that the states therefore have to be ready to close their economies again so nothing the president trump really likes to hear but let's listen in to what anthony found she had today when he gave his testimony today on capitol hill. expressed then and again it's my concern that if some areas cities

states or what have you jump over those various checkpoints and prematurely open up without having the capability of being able to respond effectively and efficiently my concern is that we will start to see little spikes might turn into outbreaks. so all of us some a doctor the president have clashed repeatedly over how to deal with the pandemic so how is the white house likely to respond to his testimony. this dr phil and at the same time and as well as deborah virtue of the task force repeatedly had to correct president trump's claim sometimes really bizarre claims like the one about injecting a desk in fact and and his aides then told him that he would damage himself and then stopped virus briefings of course today anthony felt she testifying he was able to give his own take and that's not a very flattering one for president but he is in

a very tough spot president trump because anthony as well as deborah burke's are 2 very popular figure so attacking them could simply backfire and result in a loss of popularity for the president himself and how would the our american seeing this tension between getting back to work and going and dealing with the condit 90. well yes so he has trumpet his administration facing facing a lot 1 of criticism there is a recent poll suggesting that a majority of the americans think it's not worth risking the public health for opening the economy too quickly i think that the major allegation here is that trump and his administration acted too late as we know trump didn't take the threat posed by the corona virus very seriously we're now counting 80000 casualties in the united states with 1300000 infections and counting and president obama at the same time is still bragging with his work with the work of his administration in

countering the outbreak we could see that very well at a press conference on monday when he said the united states and germany are leading the fight against corruption of course delivering a very distorted image so he's facing criticism but at the same time it's also fair to say that his supporters still continue to back him all of a sudden to washington thank you. yeah let's take a brief look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world a suicide bomber killed at least 2 dozen people at a funeral in afghanistan's eastern province attacker detonated explosives during the burial of a local police commander thousands of people had gathered for the ceremony the islamic state militant group says it carried out the attack. frankfurt airport is introducing new health measures for passengers in the event of an increase in the number of flights you know when it comes as germany's biggest ally ally announced that it will expand its operations in june travelers and staff will face massive
