9:06 am
america is looking for leadership at this hour as it faces its worst civil unrest in generations is there any word as to when president trump might be addressing the nation. i'm aware that there is a rumor that he might consider the possibility of addressing the nation in a speech and i can repeat this have heard the rumor that he might be considering addressing the nation. and that is for the people behind me saying everything and not that he is actually very popular with the protesters and the population behind me they don't believe anything coming out of the mouth of the president of the united states. and they don't expect anything either no leadership no calming words no leadership vision for the future how to heal this country this country is
9:07 am
say many that's not me they. this is a smarter people than me saying this this country needs actually leadership to heal . but. at least people here at least people here definitely think that the president is not the person who is going to deliver that stefan thanks so much for that from minneapolis. let's get you a brief now on some of the other stories making the news today tropical storm amanda has battered el salvador killing at least 14 people the government's declared a state of emergency after heavy rainfall powerful winds triggered flash flooding and landslides cut off power left hundreds homeless the 1st storm of the pacific season also drenched neighboring guatemala. a gunman has killed at least 25 people at a market in eastern burkina faso a similar attack friday claimed 15 lives a country has been battling to harvest terrorists.
9:08 am
demonstrations for and against president higher balls than our own have rocked brazil. police kept the 2 sides apart and rio de janeiro the far right leader has angered his critics by keeping brazil open that despite an increase in corona virus and deaths. while india is getting back to business with the easing of more coronavirus restrictions today while high risk areas remain in lockdown economic activities are being allowed to restart in a phased approach outside places where the virus is concentrated relaxation comes despite a spike in new infections india has reported some 5000 covert 1000 deaths the country saw its biggest single day rise in infections on sunday with 8000 new cases . let's get more on the story now do you have used the wall in delhi a good day do you know what areas of public life will now see fewer restrictions in
9:09 am
india. my brand was significant lifting up restriction it seems seems to be that movement is allowed absolutely i'm restricted now not only within states but across state borders as well of course each state it deserves the right of denying n.c. but this move by the government lifts almost over 2 months of such destruction in addition on doing it we're also going to see end of your cleaning up restaurants more lines and leases the worship and there's also consideration that's going to be going about do you mean james does as well as international shabbat now explains we need to get this i'm not $1.00 fees as in gas falling it isn't a damn tracking have to go for herd immunity but on the other hand there are also concerns that if the season right now skyrockets truly if india and to import another serious knock down indians who have used the harshest lockdown in the world
9:10 am
against i don't know i just mean i have the patience to go into one of the. major there are a lot of concerns as you mention dead and a number of questions too why is the government easing pandemic restrictions at a time when major urban areas especially mumbai are being overwhelmed by the violence. and that's why brand of government is coming out strong with game that look we have this this lockdown does and has been in touch just in the must not because we must not be defeated by the people who have what is the economy cannot suffer an extended lockdown and that we must learn to live the know what our artists but teams about increasing in our way of a question of a given that yes you had in one sense pressure points from cities like mumbai to one of the highest order in india up there that a body is lying in the hallway of the hospital and now that i've beds under the beds i'm not a wee little in the sense of people on the floor in delhi as well you heard reports
9:11 am
that patients don't know we have a long cord hospital. and to want to find good hospitals and then who are not as well as daily has that and the building up assistance of this does not happen again because the people who since the disciplines does need firefighting and does not equal to kind of one didn't you would expect from a country that is going public with such massive easing the measure thanks so much for the laughs from delhi forrester. to china now where the crow virus was of course the 1st detected where the outbreak began new infections are reported to have fallen to virtually 0 and much of that country has reopened for business but authorities are still on the alert for cases of the virus arriving from abroad our beijing correspondent that is building up as just traveled back there from germany and they found out that china's rigorous new program for foreign travelers begins in their home country. i am here in frankfurt airport usually one of europe's
9:12 am
busiest airports it's eerie m.t.b.f. day a few people however are queuing up in front of a lounge in the basement. we still have 12 hours until the parsha but we've all been samone here for a test the virus test and of course if anybody turns out positive they cannot afford the flight. we are passengers on the 1st flight to china in months next to me in the queue is the enter family christian works for a major german company in beijing. this is quite a hassle but it makes me feel safe so i catch it on the flight. the virus test is just one of many security measures to prevent the infection from being imported back into china again this is not a scheduled flight but a charter flight organized by the german chambre of commerce and it's seen as
9:13 am
a test for many countries who are eager to get their business executives back into the country temperatures screened at the gate and we get a test result. it's good to have it on paper on arrival the family as everybody else will have to quarantine for 2 weeks in a hotel room companies are to obtain multiple commissions from the chinese authorities for their employees and all of us had to pick up a special visa had one of the consulates flight was even postponed a few days because not everybody was able to get the paperwork done in time finally we are on our way our temperatures checked several times throughout the night. upon arrival health authority offices board the flight to check the temperature again we have to fill in a questionnaire our data is registered with the health authority and we have to go for another round of testing. nose and mouth
9:14 am
swaps for another virus test plus blood for an antibody. test directly from the f you to the hotel. after our luggage and sprayed with disinfectant we get assigned to our rooms which we will no longer be allowed to leave. so this is my home for the next 2 weeks we have to report temperature twice a day food will be placed in front of our do several planes windows separating us from the country we were finally allowed back into. as it turned out in spite of the initial testing one passenger on that flight later actually tested positive for the corona virus one of the world's strictest lock downs as being
9:15 am
partially lifted today as south africa moves to revive its battered economy beginning today people are allowed outside for work worship exercise and shopping the country's mines and factories are also set to resume operating at full capacity a plan to reopen schools today though has been delayed after opposition from teachers unions governing bodies and parents they're all saying that schools are not equipped to keep staff and students safe. adrian creations standing by for us in front of the berg vale primary school in cape town today to adrian up people are protesting at the school where you are today why is that. that's mainly because of the confusion caused by the ministry of education here is the 2nd time that they have announced a date for the schools to resume and the 2nd time on a very short notice they decided to push it back once again for
9:16 am
a further week until schools will resume here in south africa i would say south africans are quite divided about it you have one part of the population that says well good we really have to get back to business our kids have to go back to school and on the other hand you have people like the ones behind me who are protesting we're saying it's waste too early to send our kids back to school our schools are not yet ready and they don't have enough protective equipment you have people here with posters saying keep our kids safe keep our teachers safe and they insist that it must wait longer until schools can restart because one of the points they're raising is also winter is starting in south africa and that is likely one of the factors that might bring the number of cases cases up schools are closed can you give us a picture of what parts of the economy are opening up today. to south africa introduce a lockdown and 5 stages number 5 was the strictest one we've seen for 5 weeks where it was basically
9:17 am
a total lockdown now we're going to stage 3 that means most businesses are allowed to open again millions of south africans will return to work again a big surprise here was that the president also that religious gatherings are also allowed again of up to 50 people it was a shock to many here because it was religious gatherings in the 1st place that helped to spread the virus in the initial face and but some restrictions obviously still remain facemask us till monday to re i just took it off for this interview he also has sail off of cigarettes for example remains prohibited on the other hand they allowed the sale of alcohol so a lot of people who haven't been able to purchase a drink for 2 months will be quite happy from today. experts e.g. energy spec'ing about 1000000 coated 1000 infections in south africa before the end of the year is the country prepared for ease restrictions under these conditions. so i mean the lock down here was introduced to get the health sector ready and a lot has been happening since then and more than 13000000 people were screened
9:18 am
south africa it's more than 700000 coronavirus tests and there's a lot of field hospitals popping up throughout the country because the number is certainly going up the president says we will see an exponential growth of coronavirus cases right now we see about 33000 cases here but this is likely to go up very fast in the next month and as you said the worst case scenario we will see 1000000 infected people here and i.c.u. capacities are still not there yet there are 3500 beds at the moment and up to 335000 beds will be needed agents i so much for that from cape town. has registered its 1st official covered 19 deaths the east african country has some 350 confirmed cases to minimize contact between patients and health care workers hospitals are using medical robots. these
9:19 am
robots don't just stand around and look cute they're ready for action. followed by ready to use our immature surveys. hello good morning i am here to take your temperature and off he goes. we move closer to me. here at one of one discovered 19 treatment facilities only a short distance from the capital kigali the robots will be used for mass temperature screening to monitor patients status and to update their medical records but that's not all they can do if you program them they can take a trade to their patients and we knew that you want to go into the missions they can bring them out but for now we are using them for those those tasks. this leak robots can screen people for symptoms much faster than human doctors and they minimize contact between doctors and patients for example both according video
9:20 am
messages. that say before we had them ready would visit. between 2 to 3 or 4 times a day. per patient but not least. we are now up to 2 times a day so that tells you how helpful they have. the 5 robots were donated by the united nations development program for the increasingly tech savvy you wonder and government they are a welcome addition to the drones it already uses in its fight against the virus. the worldwide lockdowns of course very trying but children often suffer so much many of them are not old enough to understand why their lives have so suddenly to be so restricted we have children around the world what they missed most. of her it what have you missed that will. i am going to school
