world. i'm not joined by a christian lynn my from the world health organization in geneva christian the w.h.o. says 106000 new cases have been reported in the last 24 hours the most in a single day since the outbreak began as lock down restrictions are eased in many places but still far from out of the world zoe. indeed a really good day to you. if we look at the global trends we do not see a decrease we actually see a small incline still and that shows us that 6 seche as you just mentioned the going down of figures in central europe and also in some other parts of the world is not the complete picture it's not that if we chart also like turning off the faucet and then somebody does no more drops of cases and one of the cases continue and actually we will see more cases and many other countries who have been only starting to be hit by the virus now and who may have

a need to health system especially the cases in brazil also show us that it is important to have also cya the approach to fighting the corona virus through to fighting to cope with a break because this way you need to include instead of polarizing you need to include everything from the health system to the people to the economy only dennis when you win this fight just mentioned brazil the situation there seems to be worsening significantly where else do you expect such a escalations. wants fortunately out 1st of all to see that countries little middle and come country is also not for may certainly be problematic case and so also the rest of latin america. because these countries only started 6 of sea cases now and remember we're talking about a window of opportunity for about 2 months that we complete paddies time threes and these countries can prepare themselves to help them to equip so get the tests ready

to get the hospitals ready to get everything ready what they need. a lot has been done $130.00 times these have been seized receives assistance from the world that's in the section but they will still seem to be receiving chasing a lot of course another reason for increasing cases will be that countries as they start using the lockdown people will start mixing again will go on holidays will starts up in contact again and so and so we should expect a rise in cases again. the european european union's virus response chief says europe pass to prepare for a 2nd wave when does the expect that in europe. i think don't think we can call it on one of the wave will be should not look for one way it's what this wave means it's going to us another rise on the relapse and tases off that we have been seeing drops in tases off the baby increases on balance. with all the easing off of

measures now and. communicating and says it could increase and says it will call text of people again we will see a rise in cases and you know this is the 2nd wave everybody is talking about they need all the at the same time it's making their sons own conscience of consequence in region to region but a rise a secondary outside their advisor cases is very likely because the w.h.o. in geneva thank you if you're. india and bangladesh assessing the damage left by one of the most violent storms and years socks on i'm found the house left a trail of destruction in coastal communities and west bengal's main city kolkata millions of people that are without electricity and the coronavirus is hampering relief efforts. to get a last ditch fs these bangladeshis are preparing for the worst. feeling sandbags with their bare hands they braved conditions brought on by one of the most powerful

a pretty pandemic average of around $350000.00. the deal is the culmination of weeks of wrangling between chancellor angela merkel's c.d.u. conservatives and this in her left junior partners in the s.p.d. over the details of any lufthansa bailout pro-business politicians in miracles conservative c.d.u. party had fought against increased state involvement in lieu of towns up but the social democratic party wanted a biggest stake that would allow berlin to influence live kinds of buses over potential job cuts or environmental targets. bill of tons a life raft is a 9000000000 euro package 3000000000 would be a loan from state investment bank k f w the german government would take a 20 percent stake in the company as well as a convertible bond worth 5 percent that would make it possible for the state to block a hostile takeover it would be the 1st time the government has held

a stake in the form of flag carrier since 900 $97.00 economy minister peter altmire said earlier in my that it was part of germany's family silver and that's still in wanted to avoid a fire sale of valuable firms some of the social democrats goals will be met with 2 state appointed seats on the town's a supervisory board as well as conditions for future dividend payments and restrictions on manager bonuses look comes on must hold an extraordinary shareholder meeting to decide on whether to accept the deal as competition watchdog the european commission must also give its blessing to the rescue before it can go ahead. john in the studio by sea from business department stephen is this a good day or a bad day for. a good day in your business is rescued imagine how much they've suffered because of the crowd of ours because of the travel restrictions and it's obviously a great day for the employees 135000 who know that they can hopefully hold on

a little bit longer. the big question is really it's a bad day when you look the fact that now you have the state as your biggest stakeholder and that's not what any business wants or specially one of the sides and especially at this moment in germany when you have a state a stakeholder think of the public as a stakeholder in what is the german public interested in these days environmentalism more and more and more and well before the coronavirus there was a focus on airline travel as the major emitter of c o 2 and so what happens when for example the green party for example when they go into the coalition government maybe 2 or 3 years from now what will be the pressure on them to make changes within the times of that's why you see that the government has a big stake or it doesn't have voting rights tons of fell more comfort with it also put the state a very particular position or very sort of awkward position as well people demand that they do something if the times are really does things happen there that they don't like but they also was

a position to this was and you know there is opposition obviously from climate activists or at least those climate activists demanding that if the state is going to do it and they really use it to to make more changes ryan there's of from the competition for example ryanair pointing out that hey you know sure would be nice if everyone had the weight of german government behind them because when you look at it you nations of course germany has deep pockets and good books that we can't afford to push its companies more and for the same reason the e.u. has also we've got to watch out about how much germany's one sports companies germany has deep pockets. why not just loan them 9000000000 euros why why why by mistake i mean essentially that's what this is this is the collateral for a loan but if you look at the us for example they've they've they've done grants they've given their airlines money and. that's something that they say look we're going to come back to us in payroll in this case i think the pressure was there for them to actually take a stake from the other political factors here saying if you going to do this then

we need to have some sort of steerage ability we need to have some weight there and also. i think if you look at the history of german business state relations business labor relations there is more of a call for social responsibility when this is going to play any role so it's not really so much of a surprise here but still not very good news for. the germans the only one true to rescuing that fact for sure or not i mean as i mentioned the u.s. this is something that they have believed there are 3 or 4 biggest airlines southwest delta united airlines among them they've all received major bailouts most of that in grants as i said but the u.s. government is actually taking parts stake as well just very minor though so it's not going to be the same stake you're seeing here in germany. thank you very much. turkey's economy was facing hard times well before the pandemic now is in crisis mode business has plummeted and the value of the national national currency the lira has fallen much of turkey's debt is in foreign currency and that means it's getting a lot more expensive to pay down. to tell owner definition to much now has to drink

u.s. dollar at the moment so that's one channel through which the lira has lost value against the dollar the 2nd one however is turkey's on its own. economic wallner abilities and turkey got caught up in this crisis it's a very fragile state already gave it a recurrence just since august 2018. meanwhile turkey's president ratchet type at all one has blamed the leader as plunge on foreign banks and he's calling on citizens to nato to those in need during the pandemic a little comfort for those who've lost their jobs the cost of living is rising. kissing nicholas getting my weekly shopping was less than 150. now i need 300 lire and still not enough everything is so expensive. i suffered a lot my company didn't support us the state isn't protecting us no one is helping . her to own

a dead fish and doesn't know what will happen next and he has bills and debts to pay and no incoming revenue it's a bleak focused ahead of what would have been a profitable summer season. police in greece have been accused of beating migrants and illegally deporting them back to turkey reports that greek security forces physically assault of migrants emerged earlier this year when thousands gathered in border areas of the turkey encourage them to travel to europe but now the w. and other investigative reporters have been able to confirm some stories of abuse and illegal the potations after tracking down victims in turkey they allege greek police arrested them without warrants and forced them to board boats bond for turkey. now and schmitz is one of the co-authors of that report and joins us now from the great city of saloniki floria what have you been hearing from the migrants who say they've been beaten by police. hello getter with our partners like

no or yelling cat and the dutch that was how we were able to locate migrants in turkey who basically told us that they were arrested by creek police under false pretenses saying they would be issued no papers and they were taken and almost all of them say that the police confiscated their phones and other personal belongings some told us it was violence involved and then they say that they were brought in and then to the everest river between turkey and greece where they were put on dinghies and pushed back to the turkish site where at the end of march all turkey correspondents you interviewed refugees at the turkish border dawn of it during air and found people with some similar stories that's just briefly listening. often from the steward of the rule to others were from afghanistan and we've been working here in turkey for 3 to 4 years or situation is very bad here we crossed into

greece in order to go to europe we waited for 3 to 4 days at the border and then we had to thessaloniki there the greek police beat us and sent us back here you know just on nobody the greek police took off all our clothes last night we only had boxer shorts left us we had nothing left on a lot he hit us again and again with a stick to. telling you they told us to lay down like that when we did they'd be have to sit it out and then they hit us again and. for those are pretty strong accusations has there been any official response from the greek government. we did get a response the government of course denies everything they call the allegations regarding human rights violations by greek law enforcement personnel fabricated and false interestingly though they also say that the measures taken so far have been proportionate to the gravity off the situation great media's eagleton you gentle

aggressive surveillance the conservative government here is under a lot of pressure to manage the migrant situation in greece many greeks feel like the country is doing their dirty work for europe maintaining the infamous hot spots on the island and the us support the government even with such drastic measures like pushbacks would also be wrong to scapegoat greece in this situation since brussels has not managed to come up with a sustainable solution for the migrant situation of or on the ball a situation was difficult enough before the coronavirus what impact has the pandemic had on the situation that. the question is much rather how does corona affect the situation within the country the border between between greece and turkey is officially closed all official deprecation procedures are on hold at the same time the corona looked into strict measures imposed by the state of greece made it a lot easier for the police to extend into the mainland interest migrants in refugee camps and in the cities so according to the people we talked to the corona looked
