i mean there's something wrong with. the cleaners social media shadow industry. this is. the coronavirus does not discriminate but patients they tell a different story in the u.k. with europe's highest death toll ethnic minorities have a greater chance of catching the ball. we'll have a look at an. inequality also coming up the italian government to help

harvest fruits and vegetables some voters do not like it but farmers warn their crops are in danger of rotting in the fields with. and lights camera action but no clips. a look behind the scenes film and t.v. industry copes with the corona. it's good to have you with us the corona virus is no equal opportunity pathogen in the u.k. more than 30000 people have died from coated 19 since the pandemic began and a disproportionate number of them are from ethnic minorities for example analysis from the u.k. office of national statistics reveals that black people in the u.k. or 4 times as likely to die from the disease as white people he. reports now from

one. has had enough which is why she came here to downing street to protest even though she's 6 months pregnant she had to fight for protective hospital because it just wasn't enough. i'm here today for the doctors nurses and health care workers who lost their lives tragically and senselessly to pull over more than 200 health care workers have died in britain so far 2 thirds of them were ethnic minorities. here in the united kingdom data has shown that the virus does indeed discriminate even though everybody has access to free health care experts are unsure about the reasons but say they vary from overcrowded housing to preexisting medical conditions what is clear though is that covert 19 revealed longstanding existing inequalities in british society which rings true in this multi-ethnic neighborhood of brixton one of the colbert hot spots in the capital

patients and hospitals across the country a 4 times more likely to die from corona virus and white ones most people here where and have changed their behavior. more march. i mean those are just a good. thing to me is something that is killing everybody and i just need to keep myself or my family safe that's the main thing so i don't know i'm not focused on the fact that black. are. nothing more than grow. so far medics and experts haven't figured out why minorities and the u.k.'s so disproportionately affected by cope with 19 the government launched an inquiry last month there's also been discussion of shielding minorities from frontline jobs and unrealistic approach some say isn't economic priorities. there are limited social

actions. these crimes and. it's all very well. anyway. but if it's a choice. some people will be presented with. back at downing street this helps to encourage others to also speak up to prevent more death of ethnic minority patients and her colleagues. we have only has announced that it will grant a 6 month residency permits to thousands of irregular groups the government in rome is trying to help farms and farmers deal with the coded $1000.00 epidemic that has cut the flow of cheap labor from abroad the politically sensitive move has prompted or was prompted by the country's agricultural lobby which is warning that italy might otherwise have to dispose of huge amounts of produce food that will rot in

the fields probably in the us really is here with more on them so. does this change affect i guess it is the farmers right well many people in fact because at the moment there are around 200 seasonal workers mainly from eastern europe who aren't able to travel to italy because of course of the restrictions on travel because of cope at 19 and what this measure will do will will essentially make around of 2 rand half a 1000000. regular migrants in italy. illegal and so we're talking about people who would be able to work mainly in the agricultural and in the you know the domestic services will say i'm also because they're legal that we have to access basic health services it also in proves their quality of life and also let's not forget because there is such a crisis recovered 19 if they're in but if they're actually illegal it will also mean that testing will be able to take place and also. they get ill you know they

can actually get the proper treatment so it's really a human rights issue here as well because in these initial permits we understand will be valid for 6 months what happens after the 6 months once you have the 1st 6 months then you can get another 6 month extension after 12 months then if you have a work contract then essentially you can get a longer permit and the idea is for this not to be a temporary measure but really a sort of more medium to long term solution we know migration it is i mean it's a politically sensitive topic here in europe especially in italy how was this decision how is it being received with voters well you said it i mean it's a very sensitive topic and also it's been a very sensitive topic even within this government in italy in fact you know a multi-party government but before we really get on to about i mean what was very interesting was actually the cultural minister of today isabella nova who herself was actually a farm worker and elaine a labor union representative was really adamant to get this pushed through and she

said that she would have actually resigned if they had me push through so let's hear from her because it was pretty passionate and watch out say. well because when i started government this group that done are those that have been brutally exploited in the fields and also in a cooperative where people were sent to her with families as caregivers or cleaning ladies not be invisible anymore. they will have access to a work permit and we will help to reclaim their identity and their dignity. well their identity and dignity very passionate words there and it's also it's caused a lot of division in italy but i'm sure it's going to change the lives of hundreds of thousands of people now in india and that's what the knock on effects are you can imagine harbors rotting in the fields that would be crazy public thank you very much. here's a brief look now at some of the other stories that are making headlines around the

world has ordered the expulsion of a team of world health organization experts coordinating the country's response to the pandemic the w.h.o. has voiced concerns about crowded political rallies ahead of the country's presidential election the u.n. says it deeply regrets the expulsion the chinese city of the original source of the corona virus pandemic is conducting mass testing of all of its 11000000 residents over the next 10 days a cluster of fresh cases has raised fears of a 2nd wave of infection. these swearing in of israel's new unity government has been delayed until sunday prime minister benjamin netanyahu asked his former rival and new coalition partner but he guns for the 3 day delay netanyahu says that he needs more time to finalize cabinet appointments from within his own likud party. containing the pandemic has required a global effort but longstanding allies they still face chronic divisions over

issues such as collective defense in a commentary for a german newspaper the u.s. ambassador to germany and acting director of u.s. national intelligence richard grinnell says berlin is undermining native's mission of nuclear containment this comes after plans to buy u.s. f. 18 fighter jets met resistance from within german chancellor angela merkel's own government the planes are capable of launching nuclear warheads germany has repeatedly said it intends to play a larger role in nato but decisions on how the country should approach its own defense capabilities they are often hampered by political infighting w.'s chief political editor mcculloch has more. this is what many wants to avoid america's drone who went from being considered a violation of international law to washington's compact method of choice the us example has sparked concerns among the opposition and the public that german drones

could see berlin on the wrong side of history as a driving force towards also mated machine warfare. is going to other countries have it isn't a good argument to say we need it to the tendency towards automated warfare which means killing off as a depressing outlook. german defense minister and i can't come come by once the road just one item on the long list of unresolved to teaching such instances in c. inherited from her pre to sesa. despite corona the defense ministry launched a web cost public debate on the matter when opposition m.p. summed up the last 10 years of argument over time and defense will put it let me say it bluntly at some point everyone here has to just barrel and say what they want and what they don't want. germany's military also wants to make another contentious purchase u.s. built f.

18 fighter jets those would ensure germany would remain able to deliver its part to nato has u.s. led nuclear deterrent. currently the united states has stationed nuclear weapons in 5 year paean countries in small town crucial and germany along with the netherlands belgium it's early on turkey while the u.k. and france have their own nuclear warheads. in a war scenario germany would have to use its aging fleet of tornado fighter jets to deliver them but those are running out of spare parts fast. the governing coalition partner the social democrats have announced resistance to that replacement it's once a more passive role in nato and that this goes on so i don't think there's anything wrong with having that debate i think it's an important question of democracy.

military experts see this latest in a coalition rao as a defense as an attack on german credibility from within i think that position is increasingly untenable and and frankly the rest of the world does not do us that favor while germany currently looks set to expand its military engagement in crisis regions like mali even within its own government any issue to do with defense remains a political minefield. for all the governments of started loosening pandemic water allan's the film and t.v. industries they aren't having much luck here in germany most filming has been put on hold rolling actors writers directors and technicians out of work some however are managing to soldier all. in the german t.v. series red roses life goes on as if the coronavirus pandemic had never existed but

only when the cameras rolling. everything it's of a behind the scenes new rules apply actors have to keep a distance of at least one and a half meters from one another put on their own makeup and wear face masks when the cameras are turned off. this is the it's a real problem during rehearsals you can't really see the facial expressions of the other person properly it feels like you're driving with the handbrake on them. it's as if somebody slammed on the brakes the coronavirus has taken a heavy toll on the german film industry cinemas are closed and premieres of blockbusters are cancelled. more than 400 film project have been put on hold. lots of actors and producers have seen the production and shooting of their films postponed no one knows if they'll ever resume huge sums of upfront costs have already been paid and there's no way to get the money back. given the pandemic that

can film festival was at 1st postponed and later canceled industry representatives estimate a total sales loss of $2000000000.00 euros large production companies such as in germany are hoping to be up and running again soon. the filmmakers finished shooting this series just in time when actors could still be close to each other. the company's head says that's essential for their productions. and believe in what . our young actress told me in the studio that for actors the lack of physical contact is like being a footballer without touching the ball that just doesn't work i can't from a t.v. series about a 60 stance school without any physical contact. scenes like this are clearly not corona compliant that's why the shooting of the latest season of could has been interrupted to for wants to resume production under similar conditions to the

german football league the bundesliga. this was quite an show for actors there's no way to get around a virus test we're still discussing the core team issue which is very problematic for actors because a lot of money and is extremely time consuming filing and nominate side but anything is better than a standstill that's why actors of red roses have agreed to keep a safe distance from one another on set no matter how challenging it is stephen is up next with business. i'm secure that volume or that's hard and in the end it's a me you're not allowed to stay here anymore who was into that. are you familiar with this. when the smugglers would lie and say. what's your story.
