to be something to say cheers about. let's have a look now at the latest developments in the coronavirus endemic. spain's government says it will seek a fresh extension of its state of emergency that will last about a month until the transition out of lockdown is completed british researchers are launching a trial to see whether dogs can smell coated 19 in humans before they show symptoms russian health authorities say they have registered an additional $9200.00 corona virus infections in the past 24 hours and nepal has reported its 1st deaths from corona virus the country has been on lockdown since march 24th and has 281 confirmed cases let's take another look at some of the other stories making news around the world. kenya's president hu hu kenyatta has announced that the country will close its borders with tens of media and somalia in a statement on saturday he also extended an existing dusk to dawn curfew and

a ban on movement in and out of the areas worst hit by the outbreak. the number of confirmed cases in india has surpassed those in china climbing to more than 85000 infections prime minister narendra modi's government is expected to announce a decision this weekend on whether to extend the country's nearly 7. german finance minister olaf schultz is proposing an aid package to help minister polities in the country he wants to invest 57000000000 euros to help cities and towns cope with declining tax revenues and stew stabilize their finances germany is facing its deepest recession since world war 2. and one of the biggest casualties in the krona virus crisis has been a culture of in particular live music and theater although some performances are being streamed online some theater and production companies are warning that they may well go bankrupt unless they receive financial help. alex forrest whiting joins

me now to give us the measure of the problem just how big is it alex well it's a global problem and let's just take one element life it and it's likely to be one of the last sectors to reopen off to this crisis now we know that some theaters are already taking the decision to close as one in the south of england that has already gone into administration there are other british that it is that say they are very close to bankruptcy and that's despite the fact that the government is helping those star financially they're saying it's not enough but it's not just regional fit they're also these global production companies now earlier this week disney announced that it hit musical frozen which is being on board way since 2018 will not return and now that was taking in around about a $1000000.00 a week but they've decided that it is time to properly shut the doors on that which

was a pretty significant announcement now many of those stations on broadway show turn the lights off if you like at the beginning of march they're unlikely to reopen until probably mid september and that may well be the earliest it probably may not be until next year now ok so hopefully one day they will reopen but i assume there will have to be a period of distancing so how do you meet the bottom of the well it's a quick. ask him because there will be social distancing issues not only for for those people on stage but also for audiences now russia's boesch i fit is hoping to reopen by mid september but the thing is director has already warned that social distancing and all the issues could make that a big issue for them. but he might is. a musical theater with mosques and gloves and just says 1.5 meters is impossible it was more.

and you have to remember of course if you're talking about social distancing you're talking about fewer numbers of tickets being sold to people fewer numbers of fewer tickets being sold means less money less money means will financial difficulties for these organizations and just briefly to bring it back to germany has the sector fairing yeah well there have been protests that have been held in germany today outside the finance ministry in berlin a few days ago with activists and musicians they're saying that despite the emergency money that they've been getting from the government they need more and it looks like the government is listening you just said about finance minister show he is saying that he will include arts and culture in whatever money he can next and that is good news ok here's how it's for sweating thank you for that people have demonstrated again in several german cities against the government's current excuse me coronavirus restrictions despite some of those measures being lifted on friday

thousands of demonstrators in cities such as stuttgart munich early on and dusseldorf called for a complete end to the. protests have been held since the end of march. and our chief political editor because a cure for standing by for us in the birth then what are the demonstrators trying to achieve in your opinion. well there seems to be one common theme here at the very least and that's the distrust of the states also in this crisis but also beyond because as we heard that there's a very broad spectrum of people meeting up there that ranges from people who are against vaccinations in general to conspiracy theorists who simply don't believe that there actually is a real epidemic or if there is that that was invented or actually used by any particular person or sarti so at the same time there are clear links to the far right movement which has been spotted at these demonstrations and that leads to

growing concern amongst policymakers in berlin that this could lead to some kind of destabilization of society here in germany. it's a bit strange as germany is slowly coming out of lockdown and yet these demonstrators are still hitting the streets or perhaps gathering momentum why's that. yes that doesn't really seem to make sense i mean there are different of course is that before they simply want a legally allowed to go out there and as we saw in munich today more people turned up than were allowed to for instance and that it is in visa that's the location where you see the october fest is when 1000 demonstrators had gathered the police started dispersing the crowds some see that as evidence that the state is against freedom of speech and freedom of demonstrations and of gathering at the same time we hear policymakers time and time again say that they want to keep those restrictions as short as possible and now those are being taken back out back from

the state and at that moment in time we see more demonstrators there's a clear concern here that this is yet another expression of movements many to the far right and in fact one for my a.f.d. politician has been spotted at such a demonstration in the brand of bugs today simply to question the very orthorexic of the state's predictions amongst experts though point to the fact that these might go away as all restrictions are lifted we're still quite a bit away from that but wissam do down that road 81 percent of germans according to the latest polls reject these demonstrations so we can say this is a minority but it's a very loud one and the next couple of weeks will tell whether this could lead to a great a movement beyond this moment in time did have used chief political correspondent can i can say thanks for that. and a reminder now the top story we're following for you. the bundesliga is back german
