time for the summer tourism season and too dangerous to test further the world health organisation suspending testing of donald trump's couvade 9 teams drug of choice i drug seek lorikeet and high tech horticulture in a high rise in kenya tech firms competing to find ways to help people through the pandemic and into a post corona future. to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and our viewers all around the world welcome to millions of children around the world are facing a surge in violence forced labor and early marriage during the coronavirus crisis that is the warning of the leading children's aid organization world vision in a new reports it estimates that lockdown measures put in place to protect people

are actually putting vulnerable children at greater risk. schools out in ivory coast this was march since then hundreds of millions of boys and girls along the world have been lost. no classrooms no playgrounds and nowhere to run. charities are warning that the very measures meant to protect them could see them fall victim to violence. like 12 year old could be in bangladesh whose father is out of work. that hits us if we ask for more food he is frustrated and angry. it's hard to concentrate because i'm hungry. i have headaches and sometimes feel dizzy. everything around me seems clary.

across bangladesh world vision has been helping children whose family lives have been turned upside down by this virus but these are unprecedented times. this crisis. is like. or. were already. so all. of us or. out world vision estimates that $85000000.00 more children may be exposed to violence during quarantine in bangladesh beatings by parents increased by 40 percent an additional $4000000.00 girls a risk of being forced into marriages in the next 2 years. the u.n. says that spike is the result of families looking to recover financial losses.

front line workers are concerned that failure to act know will lead to more trauma in the future. what. other. suffering are. for months the coronavirus crisis has been one of the lenses and intensive care warts expect see without extra funding and protection and may give way to a crisis that is longer lasting and harder to heal. or earlier we spoke to james elder of the u.n. children's fund unicef in eastern in southern africa we asked him what is being done to protect children in dispended one of the big things that you need as

a response you know you of course you have the help lines and you have people that can can detect it but as we've seen in rich countries getting money to the poorest people getting money in the hand has proven over the last decade or more to be hugely successful people will take that money and latifah they will you know keep they will ensure that there is more food on the table they'll find more resources to employ someone else to keep their business elegant so getting money to the poorest people that countries like south africa and kenya have been able to do it their little bit wealthier relative to others other countries can't and that's why when you've got things like the g. 20 summit you know 5 trillion dollars package for its countries as little as 5 percent of that would be probably one of the most impactful positive things that could be done in the african continent well certainly in my life top. of the there with unicef. well here in germany we've got another month of keeping our distance

the german government and germany's 16 states have agreed to extend social distancing restrictions until june 29th it comes amid debate over how quickly to ease the measures that help the country maintain a relatively low death rate in the coronavirus pandemic germany has already reduced some restrictions just in time for summer tourist. it's quiet at the daily farmer's market in potsdam a small city near berlin social distancing is no problem on days like these. on tuesdays and wednesdays it's pretty empty but fridays and saturdays are very very busy the queue goes back from my stand right back to where the cars are parked everyone 1.5 metres apart people do people stick to that yes yes they do the big debate is over easing the corona restrictions gradually and steadily as the central government once or allowing regional states like to enjoy the freedom to

loosen up more rapidly if they want i think the only needed in my view to reinjure is moving too quickly all the states should get together and agree on a strategy on a united way forward in a minute because quite often and i had his. money at 1st i thought it was good that there was a joint approach but now there are regions where there are hardly any new infections and i think there should be regional differences. aside. the eastern states have to reengineer is loosening the restrictions social distancing will not be enforced next month because the premier says there's no longer any justification for infringing people's rights. no one and 239 known cases of infection are not a legal basis on which to say to more than 2000000 residents we will be knocking on your door and asking whether there are too many people drinking coffee together in

your house mentioned some coffee. but the premier of varia is warning against making dangerous assumptions to cloud corona for anyone who thinks corona is over is being naive since we don't know exactly how the science is going to develop the sensible course of action. manes the same staying calm and prudent and acting on a step by step basis should that. that caution gets a mixed response in parts time but polls show 3 quarters of germans agree with the measured approach being taken by bavaria and in berlin are for more now let's pull in our political correspondent simon young good evening to you simon so we've got germany debating health fast these lockdown measures should be reduced some of the state leaders they want to move faster than what we're hearing from the national government so who's in charge here. yes right you know germany's states

are insisting that they should control the details of what easing is done and how quickly it's done and because of that possibility that they have on the germany's federal system you know you we are seeing different states moving at different speeds so we've got the state premier in the range saying that he wants to return his state to what he called normal mode 'd which effectively means no longer telling people what they can't do just requiring them to sort of and here to the guidelines and on the other hand you've got a state like bavaria where the where the leader there is very aware of that kind of course and he wants to proceed much more cautiously so the states are required as they have done to sort of agree a general line with the central government in berlin or as you say the social

distancing and requirement to wear a mask that's in many settings that's going to be extended until towards the end of june but different states slightly different idea of what the risk is to the people there and how quickly they can move forward to relax the restrictions and so i'm in june and the summer tourism season just around the corner we know that germany and its neighbors they are considering lifting border checks across much of the european union does that mean that people will be able to go on vacation the some. well i think that certainly the i and germany and its neighbors are talking about reopening board is within europe by the middle of jean and it's hoped that people will be able to go on holiday of course it'll be a very different kind of experience with the social distancing and local destructions in force and master ism will look very different but i think also for the e.u. it symbolically important borders of have been you know restricted again and that

seen as a real defeat for the e.u. or of a political correspondent so i'm young on the story for us tonight here in berlin simon thank you. who is in the mood to go shopping not many and we have the coronavirus pandemic to think for that that is according to the german retail trade association it says fewer shoppers will have many consequences nearly one in 3 retailers in the country is currently struggling to survive on. saturday used to be shopping day but that doesn't seem to be the case any more. expensive it's here here everything's changed to a few passes by people too few potential customers. mark blind they is touring the 65 or so shoe stores belonging to his family they've come

back after the 4 shut down but the customers haven't. since we reopened on april the 20th we've done 40 to 90 percent less business in the same time last year depending on the location that's a very dramatic drop. not having enough customers is just one problem but the whole atmosphere is poor social distancing measures blocked off areas and queuing in front of stores all discouraging visitors from shopping even if money isn't the problem. romeo get when we have the money but we're not spending it we don't go out to dinner to a bar we're not going out to do any shopping either. it's just not any fun right now this doesn't feel normal yet to me as we have we're mega cool i used to buy more than i do these days but wearing a mask and sweating in the store i don't feel like doing that retailers are in a state of emergency where houses are full of stock unsold during lockdown winter

boots and summer are a hard sell. no chance no one's going to buy them until probably october. instead they're selling what's in high demand disinfectant facemasks that's the shoe stores hottest new trend. the manager says she fears for her job but she understands why she's not getting customers yaman. yes you do become more restrained in your shopping habits no one knows how long it will last how long the short time working measures will last it makes you shop more attentively. if business doesn't pick up by the summer there might be a wave of retail bankruptcies the more people lose their jobs the less they can by a vicious circle recovery might still be on the cards if a 2nd wave of the virus can be prevented. let's take

a look now at some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world of french president emanuel mcallen has announced an 8000000000 euro plan to save the country's although industry from losses calls by virus walked down ourselves in france have fallen by about 90 percent in april compared with the previous year spain is to hold a 10 days of mourning for its coded 19 big beginning tomorrow flags on the country's public buildings and naval ships will fly at half mast nearly 27000 people have died in spain's pandemic making it one of the world's worst hit countries. south africa's president is 0 ramaphosa has announced that churches and other places of worship will be allowed to reopen from june when the country further eases walk down restrictions attendance will be limited to 50 people.

as well if you are looking for ways to deal with the effects of this pandemic look to kenya the kenyan government and tech firms in the country have joined forces to launch a nationwide contest the goal is to find the best ways to help people get through the pandemic and take them into the future we have more now from nairobi. from urban gardening to tech solutions the corona crisis has made people inventive for brian in the army working from home is nothing new with a small i.t. startup brain verse it developed absent software for clients and when corona came their experience came in handy our company has about 15 people walking together from different parts of the country we have been working remotely for the past 4 years so really we developed experience however we had a problem where we could not effectively manage our projects saw this was actually our internal solution before of but then when covering 1900 realized this is again

not going to be just a problem it's going to be a problem of so many people. their solution start up sweet and all in one platform for small firms to manage the employees run customer relations and monitor ongoing projects and they also added local features like making payments through the my money system and pessah and offering the service in swahili. to expand the new product brain of us together with 300 startups took part in a country wide contest everything took place online from pitching to getting one on one mentoring from industry professionals. david obey who themselves runs the innovation about organize the hackathon together with the government run tech hub concert technically yes. this is the 1st time we had i mean virtually sort of like an owl and i got them but we could see that the teams are highly motivated and they're working right from the morning hours to late at 2

o'clock in him in the night so it's day and night no rest no sleep strong coffee. at the end of it all the best projects are selected for 4 months accelerated program where they receive technical support and access to services from both the government and private partners like microsoft and oracle is up to the brain this is one of the winning teams but solutions around the corona crisis come in all shapes and forms clima another can in startup wants to make residents more self-reliant they build vertical gardens for balconies and backyards spinach. and this is good that kills the world and here we had some indian has made it to both actually also harvested i think 3 or 4 times then every planted. who could be months told the pipes provides the cocoa people

based growing mixture and once everything is planted they also have an app so that customers can contact them for gardening advise. the fact that we have acquired this number of customers around 20 then 50 customers that believe in us initially tuesday to be kind they really grew predicted was in my balcony but now we are seeing that there is a growing need of people people becoming health quiz shows they want to have their own video to boys with their women the competition to clean my hope to step up the gardening project and create an entire vertical from to supply city dwellers with fresh and vegetables but i'm sure many innovative would want to tackle the corona crisis head on and perhaps make the next best new ventilators it is small projects like beans that can actually go a long way and how people need daily lives if that puppy rolled out. where u.s. president donald trump and brazil's president also naro have telling it as the drug that prevents covert 19 but evidence is mounting that the anti-malaria drug hydroxy

clora queen is not effective and that it may even kill you the world health organization has now suspended its trial of the drug w.h.o. decided a major study published last week which found that hydroxycut lordly in calls abnormal heart beats and marson patients chances of surviving for the 19 w.h.s. decision is no surprise earlier this year it expressed skepticism about using the drug to treat the coronavirus were just acting of caution based on the recent results will to still these 2 to ensure that we can continue safely with that armstrong was michael ryan there speaking with the w.h.o. so where does this world health organization decision leave the search for a treatment for coke at 19 we put that question to dr mohammad near

a biologist at the university of lancaster in the. i think if we going to be the hydroxy clerking that are not the end of people we have their drug bills are being tested and one of them is ram density and we just i mean. from the beginning like 31 percent people will recover need to go and that they're staying at the hospital can be deduced by 4 days because significant so they are for and my suggestion in the beginning has been that we have to focus all of our attention and resources to test drugs like reading that city which has some votes or here's a look now at some of today's other coronavirus developments there are now more than 5 and a half 1000000 reported 1000 cases that's according to johns hopkins university more than 2 thirds of them are in europe and in the united states indonesia will deploy 340000 security personnel to enforce social distancing measures as it prepares to reopen its economy philippines president run 3 go to terence
