there are no shortcuts on safety. it's 75 years since astrid lynn grant's character pippi longstocking made her 1st appearance and she still has strong as ever. she can go to bed anytime she wants. she has a horse in the middle of the city. and she can lift it up. in the world health organization has reported 106000 new coronavirus cases have been confirmed worldwide that's the largest single day increase since the start of the outbreak well than 5000000 people are now known to have been infected the cases are surging through south america where brazil is the hardest hit country. only a small group of mourners is allowed to gather at the cemetery in rio de janeiro the deceased woman was 20. 2 years old and doctors say she had several symptoms of

brazil since the start of the pandemic the health care system in the amazon region has already collapsed doctors work around the clock fighting to save patients' lines and cheering on those who recover as they leave the hospital. the christian lived speaks for the world health organization and joins us from geneva welcome to day i will start with a brazil is called the harvey 3rd highest a number of covered 19 cases at just under 300000 which worse you think it's going to get. and started a crystal ball and will also depend on the actions the government and the health authorities able to take now what we know from other countries around the globe those countries who displayed or busy took up all society approach so you had the authorities working with the economy. with the schools with the employers and
2:06 am
of course with the health system that works if everything works together then it works if you polarize and try to make it and you don't want question of people suffering at the end so it will depend a lot on the strategies deployed soon now not only and of the cities but also in the in the amazon forest where you didn't as people so a lot depends on the next days and weeks and ahead of us whether strategies will be employed to test and treat and find the cases and isolate those who need treatment it's interesting you talk about that this is not a situation that the will be helped by polarize ation do you think the president's pronouncements on this crisis have bay and helped or hindered the situation that. it's always helpful when when a government works with the people and you need the trust of the people and you need the engagement of the people if you want to go anyway and he locked down measures away any any restrictions on the people only the trust of the people will help any government to carry those forward without any big disruptions so this is
2:07 am
just solidarity on a personal level on the one on one meet west as you as much as on the government level and globally is that there's a piece of those old fights against it and then make. is looking at ahead for the next year or so where we have a disease around the world where we have no cure and no vaccine and does our experience of dealing with hiv have anything to teach us about society is a use of a situation. that's a very good point actually although the disease itself is very different and transmitted very differently but if we remember back how the societies are all societies where where lanes nearly by the upcoming hiv aids crisis then and disease and now we learn to live of that there's a there's a treatment. people know how to protect themselves from the daily basis science is
2:08 am
still evolving they're still trying to do just so look working on better choose every every year basically it's the recommendations get easier and whatever has the disease doesn't need to die anymore which was very different 3040 years ago so yes there's a huge difference and this is this can be learned that the disease is there for and so that's why it's critical but again i also believe we need to learn to live with this disease even if they have a vaccine we still need so get around it on a daily basis and certainly until we have an accident things will be different than we know them from before good talking to thank you for joining us sir kristin that meant my from the world health organization thanks for having me well covered 19 has torn through europe on the united states latest figures suggest africa has so far been spared the worst with fewer than one 100000 reported cases across the continent and 3000 confirmed deaths experts say lock downs and lessons learned from
2:09 am
bono and h.i.v. heartbreaks have helped but even if the virus is spreading more slowly across the continent there is a risk that it will linger in some hotspots for years and that's keeping governments on the toes and encouraging innovation. immobile courts for lock down offenders in nigeria. drowned spraying disinfectant in senegal. virtual safaris in south africa innovation at work as african countries try to stem the tide of corona virus infections despite these efforts the outbreak has already hit hard in some places like here in nigeria. we have never experienced such an upsurge in deaths over a long period this time the high number of deaths has persisted for more than a month. south africa leads the continent in infections followed by egypt and morocco the relatively slow spread of the virus continent wide has been credited to
2:10 am
early and thorough lockdowns the world health organization is reporting signs of progress the regional director for africa said via video link working with countries to leverage the us says that they already have in place in terms of what was done to prepare for the bala some of the equipment for testing has been used for tuberculosis and polio and to mobilize people and. globally many are happy to see partial lifting of the lockdowns like here in south africa which had one of the harshest lockdowns in the world. with. the man wants. to go knock down the must explain that. still relaxing the rules means more risk in a continent where many hospitals are severely under equipped where testing is not

yet widely available and where pre-conditions like hiv. are widespread. will face masks have become a symbol of the global fight against. public policy around them differs from country to country spain's government has just made it mandatory to wear them in public places the u.k. government advises that face covering should be worn but that surgical masks or respirators should be for health care staff now research is investigating the effectiveness of face masks have released some surprising results. these high speed camera recordings showed just how far droplets from a single cough can travel. add a face mask to the picture and the distance is reduced significantly. as that of the travelling meters will only travel and the vicinity meters not even one meter research is tested 7 types of face coverings at the university of edinburgh all
2:12 am
except for those with a valve were found to reduce the forward distance traveled by a breath by at least 90 percent but some coverings like full face shield generated leakage jets. decreased the distance traveled by the year in front of you by you my actually a jack ear in different direction for example backwards there is a person behind it presently hindmarsh he received much of your exhaled ear and round if you are wearing a mask the study was carried out with the aim of dispelling some of the confusion around the effectiveness of face masks as different countries introduce differing measures against covert 19. i don't know how much put it up to the kids but. you gotta be careful you never know what's going to happen so i just always were i just well when i was with the from our field that prof place while results differed from
2:13 am
one type to another only masks that for a tight seal around the face were found to prevent these scape of any virus laden particles researches agree that wearing a mask protects others and not necessarily the person wearing it. and germany's coronavirus lockdown has meant a ban on gatherings in churches mosques and synagogues for a damper on their celebrations of easter ramadan and passover the battle religious services has now been lifted with tough conditions lina goodman reports. head colognes cathartic cathedral where shippers have to give their name and keep their distance from others and only receive communion from behind a plexiglass screen. process of worship are only allowed to reopen if they develop a set of protocols to keep people safe over gaston as the cathedral security officer . yes you do notice the changes there is no singing and that makes
2:14 am
a huge difference to our services on the other hand the community can come together and celebrate again and that's the most important thing that's most ambitious is a bevy lundy attends mass as often as she can she says faith gives her strength in these trying times. once you get over an initial sense of unease it is a challenge to lead a christian life whatever the circumstances even under such difficult ones as we have now i'm getting woman to lead by to say it's not about my feelings it's about prayer i got to seize. midday prayers at cologne central mosque for critters that can't baccy this is the 1st time he has come here in many weeks he had to social distancing us obligato he also has to bring his own prayer mat for hygienic reasons . why he understands the importance of the safety measures he says something
2:15 am
important is now missing this is it's nice this is not the way we usually pray together as a community shoulder to shoulder people touch each other we are very close together before god gives you a feeling of being looked after and a sense of confidence you just feel much much better it's a very warm atmosphere of course it's nice to see the sun shining in if it's warm now too but i do miss the emotional aspects i felt like praying alone again as well as could. nonetheless sparky who is an emotion at another mosque is pleased that communal religious life is starting up again morning prayers at the cologne synagogue here too many members of the congregation are staying at home fearful of catching covert 19 despite the precautions being taken. it.
2:16 am
is you know it is sad to see this great shambles so empty in judaism it is fundamental that we pray together as a community that takes it to a higher level. as an aversion to for and when it's not possible prayer a certain strength. this could be it is. essential used to come regularly before the pandemic and now he's back he too says the virus has changed things. always shake hands of people but this was a part of the problem people understand. we don't do it anymore. it's like you say hi somewhere that you will follow people that we you know. the people. of course made it with. yeah it's so religious communities
2:17 am
can come together again but the intensity of the experience has for now certainly been dampened. german airline says it's close to sealing a deal with the german government to secure a 9000000000 euro rescue package that its subsidiaries been hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic in april fewer than 3000 passengers a day travelled with compared with a pretty pandemic average of around $350000.00. there have been weeks of wrangling leading up to this point between chancellor angela merkel's c.d.u. conservatives and the center left junior partners p s p d. the rescue deal is worth 9000000000 euros full of tons are giving the german government a sizable stake in the company and here's what the government wants in return no dividend payments for shareholders limits and salaries for managers and 2 seats on
2:18 am
the supervisory board. of terms of shareholders will still need to approve the deal and then comes brussels the e.u.'s competition authority has to give its blessing for the rescue to go ahead. finance correspondent who's been following this story from frankfurt. it's taken weeks for the german government to work out the details of that they'll out and it hasn't been confirmed yet but what we do know is this would be a 3 part package the 1st would be a $3000000000.00 euro loan from the german development bank but where the controversy really lies in the other 2 parts so that the german government would buy about 20 percent of tonnes of shares and in addition to that they would buy what's called a convertible bond and what that means is that it's debt that the government would be able to turn into stock if it wanted to if it would pull that lever they would have a 25 percent stake and. and that number is really important because it's the threshold
2:19 am
at which the government would be able to over roll all other investors if they wanted to block any sort of corporate strategy change they would have the power to do that with this 25 per cent stake the government has said that they don't plan to utilise these voting rights they plan to be a silent participant but they have said that they could use that that 25 per cent stake if for example the company is facing some sort of hostile takeover situation and that's what if situation is really what's worrying look tons investors right now. it's time now on the day to say happy birthday to a rebel and the old bottle of the bull kind of took to be long stock and has been providing inspiration for children especially girls since she 1st appeared 75 years ago today so here's a closer look at some of the adventures. would be lost to approve a 0 gabardine
2:20 am
a deadly owner was daughter long story short she was a monkey in a horse in a colorful house to live in the quarter with no parents she does whatever she wants it is never heard of in this incredibly strong mind. the brainchild of the swedish red or astrid lindgren pippi was created as a gift for her daughter and her 10th birthday. zick invited off as the 1st child in germany to read the stories of pepe her parents published the 1st german translation of pease adventures. they were so different to what i had read before she was a very special person strong brain and a girl so completely unusual to get to know the girl like this or to read about her . when astrid lindgren 1st so the manuscript to a publisher she wrote do not inform the youth welfare authorities soon every child
2:21 am
in the sweden and germany knew pippi longstocking is the force of nature became more popular in germany been almost any other country. he is definitely the girl in children's literature he has a girl growing up without hippy would be unthinkable because it gives children the courage to be strong and deal with any situation face anything that comes up without being afraid. of home. and kids just love her. she can go to bed anytime she wants. she has a horse in the middle of the city. and she can lift it up. she has 2 braids i want to do that too but it would be best if there were 2 to pieces. in germany many bookstores are celebrating his birthday but you're in crowds broken berlin. difficulty we sell
2:22 am
a lot of pippi longstocking books but i think a lot more people read them by them because some of their old books and they read them to their children that's what we did and certainly a lot of other families do that too. strong girl characters are just as important today as they were 75 years ago. so how relevant is pippi longstocking the today also is not a kruger is chair of the aid organization save the children they're part of the campaign of today but welcome to day w what is pip if today. good evening nice to be with you p.b. of today is a very unique cooperation between save the children and the astrodome to become company and to save actually works for the most marginalised children in the world since 100 years and also we do this work for children who had to flee their homes and at the moment we have 17000000 refugees worldwide have of them children many of
2:23 am
them girls and we want to show their strength and their agency and not only keep them as a victim's and that's why we're running this campaign together with supporters from all over the world and people is a real inspiration for us she's strong she's feelings and 75 years ago this strong girl came along to newtown and millions of girls today in the same and we want to hear their stories and you think a 75 year old white girl with red hair is should be a role model for girls from afghanistan and syria. i think it's the idea of the character of p.p. and she was ahead of her time and i'm absolutely sure that she is absolutely timeless look at her in the library and librarians in germany they're actually warrant against this book in the 1950 s.
2:24 am
and 960 said this was too strong a girl and i think we should stop seeing refugee girls for example only as nic timson only as weak and this is the combination this is the connection i see they have a story to tell and they can contribute and they dream just as people did yeah it's just it's just i get i just wonder get over this these girls as children from various disparate that parts of the world why it is a bit you feel that a white girl should be their savior. it's not that you know it's not about being a savior it's about the spirit that he has and the spirit that it's in the books and you see i i think it's not correct to depict refugee girls and girls in the world as something that is not strong and is a victim and we went with that we want to do something against that with this campaign and that's why is he the connection is see it's not about wide or not wide
2:25 am
