i mean there's something wrong with. the cleaners shoshone a shadow industry starts joining us on g.w. . this is the news live from berlin a battle over easing coronavirus restrictions here in germany as cases steadily declining one federal state wants to push ahead with lifting rules on social distancing but some of call the plans irresponsible saying they could risk another spike in infection. bust the 9000000000 euro take it to keep tons of flying

germany approves a bailout for the airline that has nosedived in the coronavirus travel shutdown it will be germany's largest corporate rescue since the pandemic began aimed at protecting thousands of jobs. and a cultural dialogue in the face of a pandemic. you can't put a protective mask on an opera singer nor on a wind instrument clear with the legendary bolshoi theater and many other venues closed until further notice finds out how performers are coping without a stage. i'm told me a lot it will welcome to the program. germany has been widely lauded for its handling of the covert $1000.00 pandemic but as the focus turns towards easing restrictions its federal and local. mensah tussling over the best way forward

a state of to range 01 of the least affected in germany wants to lead the way in lifting corona measures however many other harder hit states like neighboring varia are concerned about infection rates rising again 6 employees of this clinic in his book cows and in southern india have tested positive for the corona virus an outbreak that's bucking the trend in the rest of the eastern german state where infection rates are down while many regional politicians support easing restrictions they'd still like clear governmental guidelines. they're going to. get something if we do this without any central god lines from the state or the federal government. and that will lead to many districts doing their own thing. that will create a patchwork which won't necessarily meet with understanding from the general public the state 3 inches approach is being criticized by other german federal states

especially neighboring bavaria the beach this i don't want to see very infected again through careless policies made and they're sending a fatal sign alaska to reconsider it has to be corrected me. germany's federal government also wants to move more carefully continuing social distancing measures through the end of june 3 just state premier thinks his policies are misunderstood after all he doesn't want to abolish all restrictions under his plan wearing masks remains compulsory as this keeping one meter 50 personal distance and mass events remain banned however as of june 6th he wants to end police and force mint and fines. a move away from policing in towards health safety measures that means telling the public we're moving away from banning things rather saying be careful because just look after yourselves and don't wait for the authorities to order police actions you know i know put it in oughtn't

a stance that's getting mixed reactions from 3 engines. these restrictions have been in place for a long time so i can understand that people want things to return to normal and you're not going to you know. i think it's very risky it's silly to change things that seem to be working. the mess that we're seniors the older generation and we have to be careful. you know if people don't take any precaution and measures anymore where will that leave us we won't be protected you know. the restrictions let people in the risk groups take part in everyday life says scientists cornelia bates she's been studying the measures since the pandemic started testing this is these days that it's important to accept these rules until they've reached societal consensus that really a societal solidarity we've already shown a lot and that

a great cost but we need even more and it will take a while until it's become 2nd nature and that's why the rules still make sense to me it's not. but for the new easing measures to go into effect they must 1st have a majority in the religious state cabinet let's not take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. argentina has florentine a shanty town on the outskirts of the capsule born as areas after more than 50 people there tested positive for covert 19 police have set up fences around via us will and health workers are controlling the entrances and are responsible for distributing food and hygiene items. the subway system in ukraine's capital kiev has reopened after more than 2 months of lockdown the metro normally transports $1500000.00 people a day but now remained relatively empty after with less than 20 people carriage during rush hour authorities say via disinfecting trains daily.

but german government is throwing a 9000000000 euro lifeline to the airline giant live tons of the carrier has been locked in talks for weeks with burley and resulting in a bailout to survive the coronavirus travel slump i have all goes through the deal will be the largest german corporate rescue since the crisis struck. lufthansa's airplanes sit motionless on the airfield in frankfurt their engines covered in plastic it's an image that symbolizes the weeks of standstill the company experienced during the corona crisis with hardly any flights or passengers or revenue but now the german government will be helping with an emergency relief package worth 9000000000 euros after a long fight over the deal's fine print an agreement has finally been reached we want to make sure that germany maintains its leading position in the field of civil aviation it's about helping

a company that's rich in tradition get through the difficulties they were confronted with during the corona pandemic and steered towards a more healthy future. over the last few weeks there a few airplanes took off or landed the majority of those that did were cargo planes thousands of live tons of employees have been worrying about their jobs the german government is set to receive a 20 percent share and lufthansa in exchange for giving the airline billions of euros in aid to government representatives will also get seats on the airline supervisory board both parties are waiting for the european union's approval before the deal is finalized. a top german court. must pay compensation to customers who bought diesel cars fitted with software that manipulated emissions test results the landmark ruling in the diesel gate scandal paves the way for tens of thousands of all those to receive damages. the federal

court of justice said anyone who bought a v.w. car equipped with software that manipulated emissions tests is entitled to compensation they can return the vehicle and receive partial financial reimbursement from the comic. it legal for the plaintiffs can request compensation from the defendant on the purchase price of his vehicle but they must take into account that the car has been used and they must make the vehicle available to v.w. . the plaintiff was this retiree he had sought a full refund from folks falcon of around 31500 euros for a v.w. sharan he bought in 2014. arc it's a great day and a great ruling it's the ruling that i had expected it won't just help me but also the thousands of plaintiffs who are stuck waiting to bring their lawsuits to a speedy conclusion if you have fallen through. around

60000 individual lawsuits are still pending before the courts b.w. is now pledging to act quickly to resolve those outstanding cases. that india holds barred and will approach plaintiffs in these cases and offer a one off payment the ruling sets a decisive precedent is the 1st judgment on the deal gate scandal from the highest court in germany. europeans eager to get some exercise again now have a few more options gyms and pulls have begun to reopen in several countries coronavirus lockdown measures and here in berlin hotels are about to welcome guests again strict social distancing and disinfection measures are still required and authorities are warned of the continuing risk of infection rates rising once more. the wait is over at last it's time for a splash again for these swimmers here at the olympic pool in berlin and despite

outside temperatures not quite reaching 10 degrees celsius they couldn't be happier no this is yet another 2 and a half months of not swimming this is just great we spent the whole time waiting and hoping that the pools would reopen the situation was far from clear for a long time i never doubted to see as if this means a lot to me and i thank the berlin authorities for opening the post today i missed swimming and for swim that's like me there's no turn out of. time. the pools open with restrictions to ensure safety and hygiene visitors have to keep $1.00 metres distance and swim in circles and there's a maximum of 18 swimmers per lane. if we work with a strict contingency system we're only admitting customers who bought strictly limited times for tickets in advance yet berlin is germany's biggest metropolis and has fared ok in the corona crisis so far but even though the infection rate is fairly low the berlin senate is in no rush to roll back restrictions hotels in the

german capital opened their doors to tourists again on monday but there are still no visitors in sight at the eastside gallery and other famous landmarks. chancellor angela merkel says some restrictions need to stay in place but acknowledges the germans need to know why. not to listen to the of course we need to justify the easing of restrictions regularly we need to explain why some restrictions are maintained and others can be dropped and the swimmers are berlin's olympic pool so they have no problems or tenure hygiene and safety measures in place they hope the infection rate in berlin stays low so that their pools stay open. arts venues around the world have been particularly hard hit by the coronavirus pandemic many of them will only be able to safely reopen once covered $900.00 subsides but how are performers coping without being able to go on stage. who has been talking with

dancers at moscow's legendary bolshoi theatre who are suddenly facing new challenges. the least are the roots smallest stage this is how the day starts for the fun of us leave us and our year vinogradov out in the arctic or the alsa just outside of moscow and not in a blue studio like before and that's also how both my laden serous have kept to themselves in shape of the past 2 months by doing classical moves on just 6 could be meters. this is the most unusual but they show the scene but unusual times demand unusual solutions. before the groaner virus pandemic yvonne was the principal dancer at the renowned mikulski in centimeters broke. his wife maria had been in chanting audiences as a leading soloist at moscow's the bolshoi ballet. however since mid march to they

can't perform anymore at least not in the usual way it works if you're the more you can take the theatre from us artists but you can't take our creativity as a new. i'm cynical as we train every day to try and stay in shape but of course we still end up getting out of the shape we were in with nice staging area rehearsal rooms and none of the real physical strain that we usually had like when we trained more than 6 hours a day. cultural life in russia has been on hold for more than 2 months now. the seats at the bolshoi theatre have remained empty and an end of that emptiness is still not in sight. you can't put a protective mask on an opera singer nor on a wind instrument player. and in a music theater with its numerous participants you cannot carry measures that protect against the coronavirus

a music theater can only open up again once those protective measures have been completely removed. and no one knows when that will be along with the us in brazil russia has one of the highest number of 1000 infections of any country old white and of that number continues to rise there is also controversy about how many russians have actually died from the disease because of the different ways statistics accounted critics accused of the authorities of covering up with the true number of deaths russian doctors are massively of a burden and to many of them have been infected with the virus of themselves. despite a few of the restrictions being slightly loosened of it 19 still has the country in the its grip. and it's keeping both valid answers these are serious and to my reading of around iraq stuck at their home in moscow was.
