a living facebook more than $50000000.00 u.s. dollars to its stressed continent moderate us. off it's good to have you with us after weeks of walked. starting to reopen across europe the german government today announced that it will begin relaxing border controls with other e.u. member states this coming weekend and at the same time the european commission has and build a plan to revive the battered tourism industry and make it possible for people to take a summer vacation. border checks were supposed to be a thing of the past in europe change in zone germans were used to freedom of movement but the coronavirus put a stop to that cross border travel to neighboring austria switzerland and france

was limited to those with an urgent reason to move now the interior minister has announced a road map to get the roads open again. that is simply that if people continue to show discipline observe the hygiene rules and wear face coverings then in spite of the easing of restrictions during may not only here but across europe we can foresee that the borders will be open on the 15th of june. 5th and 6th. race if a. border points which were closed completely will be reopened and there will only be random checks by police all 4 countries have agreed to review their policies in mid june and there are hopes of freeing up travel to germany's other neighbors as well but the minister warned if the virus spreads the rules could change again that is in line with the cautious exit strategy set out by angela merkel on wednesday the chancellor was facing questions in the bundestag the unknown is that now it's

a lift if not accepted all these previously unimaginable limitations in our lives in our walk and our businesses including temporary curbs on our rights only to risk sliding backwards now by dropping our god it would be depressing if we had to return to limitations which we hoped where in the past because we want too much too quickly it's less important. given that infections in eastern france of been well above those in germany some spread of the disease may be hard to avoid but now it will be up to germany's border police to oversee what is sure to be a surgeon cross border journeys. summer is coming for more on this i'm joined now by our political correspondent in mind what chance of migrants good to see you so we know that germany wants to ease some of its border controls are germany's plans are the in sync with those of the european union. well it is indeed interest of the european union when it comes to its economy to lead goods and people move freely

within the shank and so on and and get america confirmed that of may to 15 as i've made a fifties there will be less controls on the borders with neighboring friends switzerland and austria with all the border crossings a really open and not just a few selected ones as has been the case for some weeks now and botha controls will be lifted altogether was a tax on both now to plan if all goes well is to eliminate border controls in all this tank and zone so $26.00 states by me do it and we do the german chancellor angela merkel's you dress that difficult balancing act today between controlling the virus and easing restrictions the german government does it enjoyed broad support across parliament and the population for its plans. well the easing of our necks ations easy dividing a sure enough course and economy quicker questions of the pandemic of our diet here

as is the case in not a country not of countries as well but despite germany's good results in tackling the pandemic so far for some in the party amend the easing of frustrations isn't going fast enough so some of the opposition parties the far right dave diogu they've beryl's us accuse the government to infringe fundamental rights by having limited freedom of movement and closed shops for example but if we look at the population 2 thirds of germans are happy about the current state of things and supports the measures in place that's a bit less than at the beginning of the pandemic but overall general public has been duty following to so show this in singles wearing masks in public transport and shops for example or keeping their distance is from one another in public spaces now we see patience is wearing thin here so there is a come send out process we grow but oh so beyond the worry of the minority about their fundamental rights of being infringed there is a worry of a majority of people here that for example the far right extremists or n.c. faxes for example might use process as a platform for they are these you know we have certainly seen those protests taking

place here in berlin and maybe we're just on the story for us tonight here in berlin thank you or no to brazil where the response to the coronavirus has been complicated by conflicts between president diables inaugurals federal government and the states in brazil regional leaders are enforcing walk downs against the wishes of the president now the death toll from the virus is the highest in latin america hospitals are struggling to cope with the large numbers of patients and undertakers are struggling to bury the victims. undertakers from the public burial service and now start their day they're on their way to pick up the body of a 41 year old man who was believed to have died of covert 19 right now they're working around the clock to provide burials for brazil's many disadvantaged people the family of the deceased man silva panicked when they found his body in the bathroom his brother is still in shock. buggier was diabetic he died after

a short severe illness with symptoms of cope at 19. with the condition worsened within 3 days passed away at 7 o'clock this morning commute the morning what did he die of. it was suddenly he couldn't breathe anymore because of. bugs years family is convinced that he died of this new virus as they call it covert 19 their own race because they think he should have survived. if you keep still be alive if there had been a bed in the intensive care unit for him we would have brought him to the hospital but it's best that he died at home and there was. a constant stream of mourners arrived at the coronavirus section of the cemetery and when alice there's little time to bid farewell victims of covert 19 are transported to the final resting place shortly after they pass away 5 coffins at once the bodies must be buried

quickly there's no time for ceremonies more than 4 times as many people are being buried in manassas usual up to 120 a day. among them are while sorice is a grandmother the hospital was unable to treat her. with a speed that up at a day i don't blame the doctors it's the governess fault the hospital where my grandmother was had only one ventilator walk but it didn't tell us so the health care system in manassas has been overwhelmed for weeks now there are not enough ventilators dead bodies are being stored in refrigerated containers at the same time many brazilians stand close to each other as they line up to claim their coronavirus aid a one time grant of the equivalent of 300 euros many are angry at the government as the payments have been delayed. the more we need the aid so we can pay our bills

and for baby food. buy get busy get bank president says it's just a little blue these words are deadly president wasn't elected to spread this idiocy he's tearing the brazilian people apart. the brazilian president was slow to respond to the pandemic and has continued to play down the virus to this day. and once he is a bird who filed that report he joins me now from rio de janeiro he is it's good to see you let's pick up where your story left off with joy of also noddle how is the brazilian president how is he still denying that could 19 is a major problem as the death toll in the country continues decline have a secular problem because when on sunday last sunday the death toll passed the number of $10000.00 boats nora was in the in the same day going out for a ride on a jet ski so he shows a little compassion in this crisis and his crisis management is really poor his

federal administration and acted too late and in order to provide long when dangers to the owner of the regions for example the man knows the region and the president he's also gotten a lot of pushback from state governors i mean some of them they've been openly defying his orders haven't. they are former alleys and now they're struggling and the struggle is going on until today for example yesterday was an hour wanted to reopen barber shops and fitness center he ordered this and the governor's immediately blocked and stopped this order so the stops us still closed but this struggle all in all reduces brazil's power in order to fight the virus crisis and what's the sense that you've got in the amazon region where you were the people there do they feel like basically they've been just left to fend

for themselves and to fight against this virus alone. most people are criticizing bolton are for his attitude but there are also many who want to go back to work because they feel the social crisis coming and all in all i can say that most of the people there they were really angry about local and regional politicians because they blame them of corruption and corrupt methods so the people are really not in a good mood and it's becoming worse with every day the rights movie is a virgin fording tonight from rio de janeiro but he is thank you facebook has agreed to pay up $52000000.00 in a settlement brought by workers who developed post-traumatic stress disorder while moderating disturbing content of the social media company has not admitted calls in harm but it has agreed to provide counseling for content moderators more than 11000

workers are eligible to receive the compensation which could open the door to lawsuits against similar social media companies. this is a huge story you do that we use the public is here with more on that you know we've had those kinds of moderators here on the program before talking about how stressful the job was or brings up the speed on what today's story is basically what it is this dates back to 2017 itself facebook hired several large consulting firms to bring in thousands of contractors and this is referring to the united states 1st and foremost i'm what you were saying you've kind of you've already kind of dealt a little bit they had to look at hate speech for example graphic violence animal abuse images of sexual exploitation very difficult still for anybody to take a look at back in 2018 asked former content moderator. the class action lawsuit in the class action lawsuit she said that she had developed p.t.s.d.

and facebook had essentially failed to protect you have made the claim they were looking at these disturbing images you know one after the other like several per minute does this case does it only apply to those content moderators in the united states or is there going to be some presidents for beyond well that's the big question like you said and you mentioned that before $11000.00 people are are basically involved in this ruling but there's also a similar lawsuit actually taking place in art and that would be for the european content moderators but of course that's still pending at the moment as we you know if we look at it $52000000.00 it's not actually a great deal of money and that's what a lot of people are being commenting on and on twitter and particular because it comes down to basically a $1000.00 for a diagnosis then you would get more compensation if we look at this tweet they're saying that 32 percent has been earmarked for the lawyers fees and then there's this street where they should hire full time staff to moderate provide compensation

and stock options and full benefits of basically what a lot of people have been saying is it just simply does not go far enough for you know many of those people and besides the money here is this book. promising to make changes well they've said that they're going to roll back some changes that with regards to you know content moderation tools that are going to reduce the impact of harmful images but at the end of day how do you deal with something like this as far as you're going to have to place things there help people who have to do these jobs you know many jobs have to deal with very tough images from time to time so you know it's something that may have been you mentioned before it's probably going to have a big impact on many industries yeah i mean it's just hard to imagine having that job in the images that these people have to see and how many they have to see every hour that is going to change for those always thank you. the german business league is starting again this weekend but with no fans allowed in the stadiums because of corona virus regulations now that includes colognes
