this is deja vu news live from berlin and tensions run high ahead of crucial global talks on the coronavirus pandemic the world health organization is hosting those talks for the 1st time ever as a virtual assembly but will longtime political rivalries prevent best practices like taiwan's antivirus approach be considered also coming up back to business in italy restaurants bars and hairdressers get ready to welcome back millions who have been under months of lockdown but the government warns italians to proceed with

caution and as professional sports leagues around the world take note the german bundesliga restarts of the season without fans in the stands will tell you how the weekend went. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program health experts and diplomats are preparing for days of tense talks with the world health assembly which start in a few hours time the annual meeting is the governing body of the world health organization and should be focused on combat in the coronavirus but disputes between global rivals are threatening to overshadow the assembly it's being hosted at the w.h.o. in geneva but will largely take place online the united states is again expected to attack the organization and its leadership which it accuses of being too lenient of china. while china is blocking taiwan's push to attend the assembly as

a full member taipei has rejected china's demand that it drop its claim of independents. no lock down of any kind despite its proximity to china taiwan is one of the few spots on earth where life has continued close to normal throughout the pandemic with only a few 100 coronavirus infections and less than 10 deaths taiwan's handling of the crisis is a unique success story all the more surprising that the w.h.o. doesn't seem to be interested in taiwan's approach the organization blocked taiwan from taking part in its annual meeting several years ago under pressure from beijing that has deprived the island of access to crucial information about the virus. we were successful at yes. without that platform it was very hard like we don't have many serious cases so treatment what bobby t.'s protocols

for serious cases of lifting in taiwan we will stop this kind of political rights and we would talk hold on to the more important issues like health of everyone involved dr lu used to be a delegate to the w.h.o. when taiwan was still allowed to attend the assembly as an observer but that ended on beijing's behest when taiwan's president from the pro independence party took office 4 years ago china claims that island as its own territory and therefore deems taiwan has no right to w.h.o. membership. in that politics should be set aside when it comes to health issues it's good for taiwan to share its experience with the world but you know again i have to pay one or made a contribution to public health so it's unfair to be excluded how i think it will fall. taiwan has maintained its infection rate lower than almost anywhere else with

0 domestic infections for over a month even so the taiwanese haven't let their guard down. perhaps this is one of the things the world and the w.h.o. could learn from this island. and meantime vigilance is the key message in italy as the country moves to relax its coronavirus lockdown after more than 2 months businesses are opening their doors again but it will be far from a return from normal to normal excuse me authorities warn that the virus has not gone away and if new infections start to grow rapidly again restrictions may come back. normally the tourist town of santas of error would be packed in the middle of may but due to coronavirus restrictions residents haven't been allowed to somebody on the beaches for months. the money would pay well tomorrow if the weather permits

i would like to come to the seaside with my bathing suits and go swimming if it's possible i'm puzzled the umbrella. are my cafes and restaurants a slowly being allowed to open up under strict hygiene regulations so is the cinema a new d.n.a. meanwhile in the fashion capital of milan the famous are in a sense a department store is opening its doors. as well as the use of person protective equipment we take the temperature of everybody at the entrance and monitor the flow of people entering the exit in the building i believe that this is a 1st step towards a normal life but out on the 1000000 the streets most people are looking forward to looking beautiful again. it seems obvious to me the hairdresser. yes i have to go to the barber that's how much it's grown. out of money q. is what i've missed the most it may not be the dog yet but for most italians life is about to get a little bit sweeter. and let's take

other diseases like malaria they hope to do the same for the corona virus this could completely revolutionize the way that we are tackling this disease as part of this controlled experiment the dog sniffs out fabric samples worn by coronavirus patients and from people who are not carrying it. what we have to do 1st of all is collect samples of those from people with them without even knowing team so the way we're going to do it clicked in using very smart people where you face most for a few rounds and the other thing we're going to do is get people to know so strange but we know from previous experience this is a really good clip is from people. in the us a group in philadelphia is carrying out similar trials the researches say they need to see strong scientific evidence that this method does work before the virus

sniffing dogs can be unleashed in airports and stations. now the bundles they got returned from its coronavirus suspension this week and mark meadows from sports is here to tell us how it went i mean this was really a brave new day for football isn't it wasn't d.-day and i think generally across the weekend it was a success i mean in the very 1st minute of one of the games on saturday live on television we saw a player spit on the ground which he's not meant to do and some of the coaches assume as they got out there they rip their masks off but generally went pretty well i mean the coaches tended to kind of stay standing on the sidelines barking their instructions because of his you can't chat with them with a mask on but that meant there was then social distance of the people on the bench and the players generally get the 1st 20 minutes of each game like to bit of intensity was always a very weird without hearing the crowd noise hearing that the shouts of the players instead but most teams kind of got into the rhythm as did by munich who played on

sunday against you know but then they started slow because they like everyone but in the end it was vintage by munich as we can say now happy to be back at work and grateful to be healthy. with bard munich gunning for an 8th straight title they'd be the maximum points against you in berlin and they got them. from the corner thomas thought he put the defending champions ahead early in the 1st half but merely had to settle for an offside call instead just before the break you know it's nevin some budgets helped by aaron take the leave after a foul lowly run gorecki who sold it well. byron penalty taker robert levin dusky back from a knee injury got the goalkeeper to guess wrong for his 40th goal in all competitions this season after the break byron were successful from

a quarter thanks to been told us that are the defenders 3rd goal this season wrapped up the 2 nil victory. and what about say one of the buttons are highly motivated and i think preparing for these games these last weeks there was so much anticipation for this moment to finally start again you could see that in the players because in their speedo and muslims in america despite their slow start bar in munich re stuart their 4 point cushion at the top of the table. so yet as i said things went pretty well you saw in some of the celebrations play is trying to kind of do it with the elbow and then sort of forgetting and touching each other with their hands but it's slightly ridiculous to say there's no sort of social distancing in a match you can throw in the tackles you can touch you want but when you're celebrating you're not allowed to actually touch it will bed down people get used

to accept the passionate game of football there will be some things that they didn't want and it's clear the players i mean they wanted to get back on the pitch you could really see that actually from the comments that they made but what did they make of the return itself yet most were reasonably happy they just wanted to get back to playing football after 2 months not being there there were some reservations some players ahead of the resumption worried about their health all those a bit worried about the fact that they maybe weren't consulted quite so much one of those was never answered but it's you of union berlin who gave away that penalty and actually after the game his views hadn't really changed very much less of a listen but. what i criticize is was that in all the decision making the players were not as strongly involved as they should have been or as it's been another low ground is not a real issue of use in here the ending you know we're the ones on the field today and of course i love doing what we do. but we shouldn't just let other people

decide how much you work with her to have your players need a strong voice for that and we're working on it doesn't go unnoticed on and there is another game on sunday had if there was cologne played against it was quite entertaining game really even without fans that it ended. and what was also important was that fans weren't going to congregate outside the stadiums that was a big well read that the police had in the run up to the game especially the place actually in cologne there were pockets of fans here and there across the weekend of course there were but there were mass gatherings like we saw in france a wimpy a steep. laid back in march and there was like 10000 people outside which is exactly what you don't want when you're mentoring stopping fans from from congregating but generally the fans behaved the players behaved and the coaches behaved within reason so i would say the whole weekend as a whole football as they go was a success and in many ways i mean it's also a grand experiment there's a lot of teams around the world a lot of leagues looking at the ones they get to see how this goes is it leading

the way definitely i think you just look at twitter and social media over the weekend so many people around the world were concentrating on the bundesliga who normally don't even look at the bunkers they go all the betting companies obviously from around the world from the oh yeah we've got live match action so all the leagues will be desperate to follow suit the premier league in england have a big meeting today all about it and they will have looked at what the bundesliga have done and think hang on that work is not ideal but it's football i think the premier league will see back in june pretty much copying what the bombers they could have done ok you know you sports it's a much. and with that now you're up to date on t.w. news but don't forget you can always get out of your news on the go just download our app for global player from the app store which will give you access to all of the latest news from around the world as well as push notifications for breaking news and if you're part of a news story you can also use the t w after as have those photos and videos of what is happening near you.
