66 meters rising sea levels starts to troops on g.w. . this is g.w. news live from berlin and german soccer prepares to kick off again after coronavirus shut down the sport in march the bundesliga forges ahead this weekend as the 1st major european league back on the pitch in front of and deep down also coming up a typhoon of von fong slams into the philippines as authority struggle to evacuate tens of thousands of people the storm is expected to barrel across the densely

populated areas as it moves to the north and a global mental health crisis the united nations warns that millions of people surrounded by death and disease are forced into isolation and poverty their suffering severe mental stress. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program this weekend sees the return of professional soccer to germany the bun displayed it will become the 1st major league in europe to restart following the coronavirus lockdown now soccer bosses say it's more than just a store but an economic driver as well the big leagues across europe will be watching to see how this might change conditions for germany spawned a sicko. since mid march germany's football stadiums have fallen silent now the bundesliga aims to emerge from its coronavirus brick with so-called closed

door matches with their fans and under strict hygiene roods the idea to get back out on the pitch as soon as possible. anyone who rejects close door matches needn't wreck their brains about whether the league will have 18 or 20 professional clubs playing in the future because in that case there won't be 20 professional clubs left sneaky. it's not only a make or break issue for the german league the other big european leagues are also deliberating how to emerge from a lockdown. the english premier league is the biggest money maker in european football followed by the bundesliga and by spans a league for the premier league and lega t.v. revenue accounts for more than half of all income. it's slightly less than that for the bundesliga but they're determined to get the ball rolling again even without spectators if that's what it takes to keep revenues flowing. when matches are aired

the advertising boards around the pitch will provide another financial boost in the current crisis the upcoming weeks will show how well the new concept works but there's no doubt that the game will be a different war as seen in south korea where the caley season kicked off last week gold celebrated with social distancing. a sign of the times. so the but it's a kicks off this friday as the 1st major league in europe to get back in action mark meadows from sports is here to tell us more about that i mean we have you know many other close contact activities which have essentially been canceled you know by and large in europe tell us how were the soccer bosses able to persuade the authorities to allow the league to restart here well the authorities are pushing forward as well i think is a question of morale they felt that if they brought the bundesliga back it gave people a little bit of hope that this very strange situation generally was coming to an

end i mean millions of people watch the bundesliga in germany and around the world and now they've got something to watch when maybe they're over leisure activities still to tailed the other issue is finance a lot of these clubs would have gone book stiff the league couldn't restart and the other thing is it's a real favor in the cap for germany you know people be looking around the world where the bone is leader is back germans as efficient as ever they've got off the ground yes with empty stadiums and stricter. rules the english premier league will be looking at the bundesliga very closely they're hoping to come back in june they're basically going to copy the bundesliga concept normally as you go around but this time jim you really is the trailblazer so the matches are going to be behind closed doors right so you know how how about if fans start to gather outside of the stadium i mean what sort of measures and precautions are going to be in place here yeah i mean some people call them games behind closed doors in german it's ghost games whatever you call it though we know fans at the same games this weekend and for the rest of the season now personally i don't think fans are going

to congregate in mass numbers outside the grounds people in germany generally over these last 2 months have been sticking to the rules one person who didn't is the coach heiko headache he left his hotel quarantine to go by 2 faced and therefore he's now banned from being at the game on saturday but as for the fans if they go and stand outside the stadium then they risk the league stopping again they risk their club going bust and they risk that if they're ever allowed back into the stadium they'll be banned if you turn up at the ground all this going to happen is you going to be arrested so i really don't think is going to happen but it is true that police forces are worried they can actually listen now to the chair of the police union. when we as the police are strongly against the playing of these ghost games from our point of view there is a large potential for trouble and we assume that all fans will stay at home and we assume that there will be places where there is a possibility that there will be violence and then my colleagues will have to

intervene and there is a significant health risk in these corroded times and these are situations that we don't want any woman. so some very real concerns that we did have one game behind closed doors in march which is not black and its cologne this is the 1st time we've had the whole league program without fans we'll just have to wait and see trotted center territory will see on saturday and sign on target territory indeed mark meadows soccer is back thank you. thank you so as we heard the bunt is the kicks off without any fans in the stadium this weekend one of those scheduled matches is it me roar derby between dortmund and it's one of the fiercest rivalries in german soccer but what will this be like for the team's loyal fans when they can engage in their regular shows of sport. this time everything is different the dormant stadium an empty cell section no fans

in the emotions the prestigious darby between top and self has turned into a ghost is to know who not to i know hundreds of people there in the cell section and you miss them you look forward to the game for weeks go there meet him or her drink a beer and now nothing 0 without an audience it's like sex alone in his life time brutal records has only missed 4 home games of his beloved dog he experienced his 1st dog minshull to darby 51 years ago so missy that now especially hurts. comes on from you just can't change it i'm sad and i don't know what i'll do on saturday but if the weather is good probably go for a walk. with domains opponent so everything is also different the shelf a fan club distiller has only a few guests and to prevent fans from cheering too closely to one another at

a shelter a goal the pubs owner might not show the darby on t.v. but there is still a bit of anticipation. darby is always highly emotional i don't sleep leading up to it and then what happens on saturday at 330 i don't know will all freak out thing anyway but we have to keep our distance. of these thoughts from the fans are looking forward to the 1st ghost darby in football history with mixed feelings but they all agree on one thing a darby without fans has no real value. and let's have a look at the latest developments now in the corona virus pandemic the johns hopkins university says that the global death toll has topped 300000 there are more than 4400000 confirmed cases worldwide south sudan has registered its 1st death toll from the corona virus so the media has called an official end to its pandemic

home to avoid infection the authorities have evacuated around 200000 people who now face contracting the virus at overcrowded emergency shelters due to social distancing measures the shelters can only accept hof the capacity and people have to wear face masks but not everyone has one and many are trying their best to keep safe. with our money now we have a lack of supplies to face mosques that's why we have started to make our own once the spread of the virus typhoons are common occurrences in the philippines but this time the corona virus outbreak has made the threat even worse the national weather agency wants of potential flooding and landslides in the coming days. well people in central bolivia in south america have defied shutdown orders to protest against coronavirus restrictions the country has been under lockdown since
