19 infections at the total infections worldwide now stands at more than $5000000.00 despite lockdowns being eased in europe and the us today's news reminds us that the end of this pandemic is a long way off i'm from galle in berlin and this is the day. we need to track its transmission dynamics to ensure that we understand how the storms were where it starts with we need to track the genetic sequences of the worst we're sure that the worst is not a volcanic you know way that's negative we need to track. the effects of the virus itself as it spreads around the world there are no shortcuts there are things we can do faster and better there are things we can do in parallel but there are no shortcuts on safety. on the day 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. and 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 the 5000000 people are now known to be 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 22 years old and doctors say she had several symptoms that covered 19. her father is grief stricken thank you very much what are your specific many births. millions don't wear masks they need to be aware that the virus is real

my daughter is buried over there. presidential i am also narrow has played down the pandemic even though the number of cases in brazil is increasing is allowing unrestricted use of the anti-malaria drug chloral queen but experts say it could have serious side effects that's why the governor of south paulo wants to ban it. will not allow unrestricted use importantly because scientists do not recommend it . so paul knows the governor has also threatened to impose a lockdown because not everyone is practicing physical distancing meanwhile the city cemeteries are prepared for more burials hundreds of graves have been done some pollo has registered by far the most corona virus infections and deaths in 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'

lives and cheering on those who recover as they leave the hospital. christine 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 that just under 300000 much worse do you think it's going to get there. and started a crystal ball and it 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 took the all society approach so you heard those stories working with the economy. with the schools with the employers and 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 know walk question then the people suffer at the end so it will depend

a lot on the strategies deployed soon now not only into 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 of ahead of us whether strategies will be employed to test and treat and find the cases and isolate those who need treatment is interesting you talk about the this is not a situation that that will be held 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 you need to trust of the people and you need the engagement of the people if you want to employ any and the lock down measures are they any any restrictions on a people only the trust of the people will help any government to carry those forward without any big disruptions so this this solidarity on a personal level on the one on one meet west as you as as much as on the government

level and globally is that is a key to this whole fight against and then make. this looking at a head for the next year or so where we have a disease around the world where we have no cure and no vaccine does our experience of dealing with hiv have anything to teach us about societies are used to this situation. that's a very good point actually although the disease itself is very different and transmitted very differently but if we remember that how does societies are all societies where where lamed nearly by the upcoming age of the aids crisis then and disease and now we learn to live with it there's a there's a treatment. people know how to protect themselves from the databases science is 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 this can be learned the disease is different 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 kristin that linda 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 a bowl and a thai view breaks 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 government

somehow 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 but 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 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 has supply chain 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. and we want we want 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 for 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 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 air in front of you by you my actually a jack ear in different direction for example backwards there is a person behind you the person behind you my she received much of your exhale here and the person in front of you 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 but if it actually did. you got to be careful so you never know what's going to happen so i just i just well when i was with the from our field that prof place while results differed from one type to another only masks that fall 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 yet damper on their celebrations of easter ramadan and passover the battle religious services has now been lifted with tough conditions lina goodman reports. at cologne school thoroughly 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 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 up

every lundy attends mass as often as she can she says faith gives her strength in these trying times the money. 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 and i'm getting women to leave by just it's not about my feelings it's about prayer and go to cities. midday prayers at cologne central mosque for critters that can't baccy this is the 1st time he has come here and many weeks here to social distancing is 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 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. numb the less 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. this is. the home here does 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. has an aversion to free and when it's not possible pray aleck's 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 with people but this was a part of the problem people understand that you cannot. and we don't do it anymore . it's like you say hi somewhere that you will follow people that will you know. the people of the course of it with. so religious communities 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 traveled with loved compared with a pretty pandemic average of around $350000.00. there have been weeks of wrangling up to this point between chancellor angela merkel c.d.u. conservatives and the center left junior partners the s.p.d. . the rescue deal is worth 9000000000 euros full of tons of 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 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 bailout 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 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 tons 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 do so if it would pull that lever they would have a 25 percent stake in left. and that number is really important because it's the threshold 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 percent stake the government has said that they don't plan to utilize these voting rights they plan to be a silent participant but they have said that they could use that that 25 percent 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 it live tons investors right now. it's time now on the day to say happy birthday to a rebel and the role model of the book kind of took to be longstocking 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. the lot to prove is even a. deadly and it was daughter long story. short she was a monkey in a horse in the colorful house to live in the cooler with no parents she does

whatever she wants and is never heard of in this incredibly strong. brainchild of the swedish red or astrid lindgren pippi was created as a gift for her daughter and her 10th birthday. zick invited off was 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 brainy 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 in the sweden and germany knew pippi longstocking is the force of nature became more popular in germany than almost any other country. pippi is definitely the

girl in children's literature he has a girl growing up without k.p. 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. 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 they were 2 to pieces. in germany many bookstores are celebrating the peace 1st but kiran crowds broken really. difficult we sell a lot of pippy longstocking books but i think a lot more people read them by the 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 to today was another crew that is chair of the aid organization save the children are 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 70000000 refugees who are white house of them children many of them golds 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 complaint together with supporters from all over the world and p.b. is a real inspiration for us she's strong she says feelings and 75 years ago this strong girl came along to newtown and millions of girls today 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. and 967 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 these disparate parts of the world why it is a that 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 i see the connection is see it's not about wide or not wide it's about the spirit of a girl who's proud and strong and fearless good talking to thank you for joining us on a kruger from save the children. absolutely have gotten. the
