for electric cars missing amid the measures long hoped for purchase premiums for cars with petrol and diesel engines here even the mighty auto industry could not prevail joining us now for more is our political correspondent kate brady good morning to you kate germany tends to be highly allergic when it comes to big spending programs taking on debt are we witnessing a general shift in how berlin handles the economy. we certainly are seeing a shift in of course these are unprecedented circumstances that germany and the rest the rest of the world finds itself in right now and of course it took some 21 hours of marathon talks but in the end we know now that the german the governing german parties are going to be plowing some 130000000000 euros into rebooting the german economy and this certainly is a shift in the behavior here in germany and the days of penny pinching over the

cent pinching seem to be over at least for now in the initial response to the economic fallout of the coronavirus pandemic and let's not forget that this is also on top of the 750000000000 euro financial aid package that was also announced by the german government back in the end of at the end of march so we certainly are seeing a shift here in berlin and so massive levels of spending as well what are some of your big takeaways from this deal. so lots of wide ranging measures but i think some of the most prominent takeaways things like families that are going to be provided with an extra $300.00 euros per child on top of that v.a. t. here in germany is temporarily going to be cut from 19 percent to 16 percent and we're also seeing a government supported rebates on purchases of electric cars and also interestingly included in this package is some $50000000000.00 euros and then that's

a fund set to address things like digitalisation even innovation and also climate change within the german economy and these are issues that germany has really been fall in behind on in recent years so i think this package is certainly being used to take on some new opportunities as well. are germans comfortable with with this new approach or how's the deal being received. it has been received quite well of course a. second sense is that we find ourselves in right now require a huge response like this but goes outside of germany that our concerns especially among weak economies specially within the european union and also especially the the your is there in the size of this german splurged spend in splurge could indeed actually worsen the financial imbalances within the european within the european single market and also within the euro zone there are certainly some

concerns outside of germany but this is within the country seen very much as the boost the german economy needs kate thanks so much for that. well as germany gradually leaves a lot down let's get you up to date as a mother coronavirus developments today global confirmed cases have now risen to more than 6500000 war than 384000 people have died austria's lifting all virus related border restrictions for all neighboring countries that is except italy as of today this comes after germany said it would be lifting a travel ban for $29.00 european countries that's coming up on june the 15th british doctors are testing a type of antiinflammatory provan to see if it reduces respiratory failure in patients with severe kovan symptoms and amazon has been sued for allegedly false during the spread of the corona virus by mandating unsafe working conditions the complaint filed by 3 employees and their family members in new york. well in the us

minnesota and for the entire country and maybe he is right about that but i have to also say that even if the charges on significantly harsher and now all 4 charged police officers can potentially go to prison for 40 years that's up from 25 years just for one of them now all 4 of them for a maximum of 40 yes if they get convicted. i have to say this if they get convicted is key for the crowd behind me for the protests to see in minneapolis because they are only cautiously optimistic that there will actually be a conviction they are happy about the charges they happy about the arrests today of the remaining 3 officers who were also involved in the demise of george floyd in. my back here just as ok like about 10 days ago. something if i could joe has been

a can you tell us about the charges that the other 3 officers are now are now facing what are they looking at. its aiding and abetting. second their green murder that is what they're looking at and that is. significant again 40 years in prison. that's what they're looking at and again i have to stress that the optimism that they will stick in court. protesters here demands that the attorney general actually gets rid of the county attorney county attorney general attorney who is still working with the attorney general on this case nobody trusts apparently this man he has he's too close to the police department protesters tell us. siemens there talked to me earlier today as if you briefed on other stories making the news around the world troops fighting for libya's internationally recognized government say they now have control over
