pieces of code 19 the virus is ravaging huge sections of the country hospitals are full of doctors over well it is unclear when or how this crisis will end but it will not be anytime soon despite the dangers she was president donald trump is pushing for schools to reopen next month today he pointed to germany saying schools here are open with no problems there's one correction their school is al twite now for the summer and there's one important difference here the coronavirus curve has been flattened in the united states it is still headed in one direction the wrong direction i'm going to go off in berlin this is the day. at this point we have to do more than 39000000 americans who want to reopen the schools. everybody wanted the moms who wanted to dance wanted the kids wanted

this time to do it everything could go wrong. of course the u.s. remains the world leader in the pandemic because goes without saying so we're very much going to put pressure on governors and everybody else to open the schools the only person a person playing politics with this is downturn and we don't. hear any should be seen. also coming up tonight can the world fight 2 viruses at once a disturbing prediction from the united nations the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on in china the. reports of facilities being closed supply chains being disrupted clones seeing knocked down michel's their most vulnerable and so will radio truck but. he's put it in. to blow us even

more off track. and to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and all around the world welcome we begin the day with the push to go back to school on time even if the coronavirus is in the classroom next month is when schools in america normally begin a new year but nothing is normal this year in a country where face masks are partisan accessories plans for reopening schools have become the stuff of political arm wrestling and u.s. president donald trump he is flexing his executive muscle pressuring state governors not to delay the start of the school year trump is offering no concrete plans on how to make schools safe in the middle of a raging pandemic today he publicly rejected recommendations from the centers for disease control on opening schools on the day that corona virus infections surpassed 3000000 in the u.s.

president trump is telling parents and school principals not to follow the advice of public health experts this is not sitting well with teachers in fact many say kids in the classroom will accelerate a 2nd wave of the pandemic they say lives could be put at risk including their own and that schools will most likely be forced to close their doors again. we don't want people to make political statements or do it for political reasons i think it's going to be good for them politically so they keep the schools closed no way so we're very much going to put pressure on governors and everybody else to open the schools to get him open and it's very important very important for our country it's very important for the well being of the student in the parents i want donald trump to sit in the back of my class of 39 and breathe their air i want him to sit there for 7 hours. 5 days a week and help those kids cough and sneeze on hand if you don't get this right if

there isn't hoops here it probably means somebody died. but when that starts to happen they'll close schools down again that will impact the economy that will impact the funding for public school it will be a vicious mischievous cycle strong words there the debate over reopening schools in the u.s. is not just about kindergarten through 12th grade and it's not only about americans returning to a story that we told you about last night foreign students at u.s. colleges universities maybe may not be allowed to stay in the country they could face deportation if their universities offer only online classes many including harvard are planning no in class instructions this fall in order to slow the spread of the coronavirus tonight harvard university and mit are suing the trumpet ministration to block in force mit of this new visa route the schools say

that the order came without notice and they say it is simply cruel and reckless the students who may have to pick up and leave they agree. the 1st thing you got up in a synopsis was announce i was just trying i can't go back to minnesota there are no flights there and it's a very very unsafe situation when you can get like yours when you get in so that is where you can set up on your plan and your arms are taken and something you know you know you want to put in our students have to make a choice between their health or leaving the country is ridiculous and i think it kind of feeds into. kind of their idea about just trying to push schools open without really coming up with a good plan well we are joined tonight by one of those foreign students facing an uncertain future. is from germany and she is a ph d. student in religion at harvard university on kids good to have you on the day

what have you been told by the university or what have u.s. immigration officials what do they told you about your visa yeah thank you so much for having me and i haven't really gotten much information besides the ice order that you've all read and harvard has definitely affirmed that they are fighting for us that they're filing this lawsuit but i haven't really gotten any information about or not this is actually going to affect me and how it would affect me how long i would have to pack up my things and go home so at this point that nobody has actually beached out to me in person let me you would have a lot of time with would you go on to the semester begins next month i mean this is incredibly short notice yes absolutely and so i at this point i'm very anxious about what that would mean for me how do just the clay i would have to figure out how to get back home and set up have a workspace there for myself and pay for flights back home and what that means for

my health insurance my financial situation all of those things well well and good what would you do i mean do you do you have a plan if you have to reject out of the united states. at this point i'm assuming i would go back to my parents house. prices set up camp there i would have to leave my car my partner my pets my space behind and figure out what to do with that so i did i do have a plan but at this point it's still kind of up in the air and then i would have to take classes in the middle of the night at my parents' basement most likely so you don't you would be in your parents' basement doing online classes and in the middle of the night because of that is the time change right by right so my seminar for my start feel for example meets at 6 pm. and so therefore i like until 8 am so i would have to sit at home and in germany between like midnight and 2 am

in the morning after also i wouldn't have access to my library i would have access to my books i don't even know how would be able to do coursework and my research. yeah you know there are some who support this this visa rule and they say that you do not need to be in the united states if all the courses or online you can take the courses anywhere in the world what do you say to those people. yes so we only had a few colleagues who had to take courses on line last semester because they were unable to go back in to get back into the country and they have all told us how incredibly. bad the situation was for them and how they weren't really able to follow up with courts work they somewhat and i didn't have the libel internet connection some of them didn't really have a space to get back to over in a very you know in an environment that in them to prosper probably to those who

really think that that is an option i think they have never really taken a course at harvard and what that entails and what you need in order to successfully do that yeah exactly i mean and what it takes to get cept good at harvard i mean we certainly have to take your hat off to you for that many years have you been in the united states yeah i've been united states for 4 years now so i came as an exchange student and then an after one year i started my masters at yale for 2 years and after that my ph d. program for one year so it's been 4 years it's been 4 years and what's your relationship and a german international student to the united states now. yeah it definitely has to change right i came here in the summer of 2016 i felt very welcomed and i felt like i could prosper here people wanted me to come here and open because if the last few years the situation has changed i feel threatened as this constant you

know thread in the back of my thinking that there could be bands like this one coming to effect at any moment and if you list posable i feel like i'm here as long as i'm good for something and as soon as the situation gets complicated i'm just being sent home and at this point i think after after this you know after all of this is hopefully over one day. professionals and international professionals are going to have to be valuated better not they think taking that risk is worth it taking that risk to go to the united states and invest the talent there is worth it yeah what you're seeing here is what we've we've been hearing from a lot of people before this visa rule was announced is it is it safe to say that your experience in the united states had made you more pro-american i mean it's been a positive experience for you. i don't i don't like i'm i'm i'm i'm pro at it like

a pro i don't think i'm kind of going to say i'm pro-american it definitely has offered me up at here and used that i wouldn't have had in germany especially in my specific set fields and i think the american atom and higher education system for what i want to do is a wonderful place to prosper. i i don't know if i could say i'm probably more pro-american yeah well or maybe it's given you a better understanding of what's going on in the united states if you could speak to the people in power in the united states tonight and give them a message what would you say to them. yeah i would say in one hand i am i'm incredibly talented i've given this country a lot i wrote before undergraduate students here who i had a bias and i think i've made a positive impact on this university but also i'm human and i have a life here it is just incredibly unkind to uproot me from that i'm an adult woman

i know it is a temporary home but it is for now it is a home because that my program here is for 5 to 7 years so i'm just appealing to them to be doing a human thing but also to think it is a mountain better for that country economically and. for the state of higher education in this country yeah yeah you are you're a human being and should be treated that way it's the thing we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with this tonight we will be following you and we wish you all the best the end of this story has not been written yet thank you thank you so much for having me. yet another book about you as president donald trump yet another scathing assessment of the man in the oval office next week the much anticipated book by donald trump's niece goes on selves in too much and never enough help my family created the world's most dangerous man mary truong

a clinical psychologist accuses her uncle of being a sociopath with no regard for human life this blistering book comes just weeks after the publication of a tell all book about the trump white house written by john bolton the former u.s. national security advisor is tim sebastian's guest this week on conflict zone bolton makes it clear he does not want trump to serve a 2nd term. we're 4 months away from the next of those elections what if trump loses by a small margin do you expect him to go quietly or organize some gun of bizarre national emergency to try and stay way is well maybe you would tell me what evidence you have that he's planning to to create a bizarre national emergency you know it's reported is in arizona didn't tell you that the vote will be the most corrupt election in the history of our country and we cannot let this happen so you're making the same mistake as many trump critics

you're exaggerating without adequate evidence and i'm not a good question and i know from your questions you obviously despise truck that's fine and i understand that but but the way you're approaching it makes it difficult for those of us who are opposed to him getting another term to make the case to americans who want to know what the facts are that that's something that you know the people will decide here in 4 months and we'll see what the outcome is before you get hyperthyroid about it let's see what happens. here in europe german chancellor angela merkel is calling on the european union to unite if it wants to emerge from the coronavirus pandemic stronger merkel was in brussels today to mark the beginning of germany's 6 month presidency of the european council and the european union it is in crisis mode.

the masks hand gestures and rather awkward head nodding have taken the place of handshakes german chancellor angela merkel's 1st trip abroad since the corona virus outbreak was marked by new pandemic etiquette as europe confronts an unprecedented threat already over 100000 european lives have been lost to the virus and alongside growing debt and unemployment the continent to seeing a marked rise in populism. this in for the pandemic can't be fought with lies and dissent from ation any human nor with hatred and agitation in fact denying populism is being shown its limits. of the top priority of the german presidency is to ensure that europe emerges from the crisis united by just short term stabilisation of europe will not be enough we also want to europe that offers hope in a while but us has no. merkel supports the e.u.

commission's proposed joint recovery fund of 750000000000 euros to provide financial help especially to the southern european countries that have been hardest hit the commission president formally the longest serving member of merkel's cabinet feels that such radical steps are necessary we have entered the worst recession since almost 100 years but she faces opposition from the frugal for austria denmark the netherlands and sweden they are reluctant to give away money without strings attached merkel insisted that a compromise was necessary and sooner rather than later the mines are mysterious is our common goal is to find an agreement as soon as possible because the depths of the konami slump urges us to hurry there is no time to lose otherwise the weakest will suffer i very much hope that we can reach an agreement this summer by a long and negotiate. beginning in the coming weeks will determine the economic

future oh you're joining me now from brussels is our correspondent barbara very good evening to you barbara european leaders they have been calling for greater unity among member states as long as you know i can remember can the german chancellor can she conjure up that marigold magic that we have seen in action before at least she's given her about something we know. her style when she talks and when i'm going to america does passion and i believe in europe afterwards what we move to say is nice try however i mean this on this at this point in time what's on her side is necessity it is the absolute urgent necessity to do something everybody realizes that in the depths of the recession that the european union is sliding into at the moment they just have to come up with contemn measures so the question is not if how money is going to distribute it

and this is what the big fight is going to be about america is going to experience of all the heads of state and government in the european union. a lot of the people there personally and she knows how to deal with them and so it is europe's best chance that she just packs and is now heading the presidency and she will give a very best to sort of get to that compromise that we heard her asking for sometimes you do need luck to have success what about this recovery for and for europe what do you see is the biggest impediments to that becoming a reality. the biggest obstacle is that this is some sort of cultural war because northern countries the so-called frugal forward in brussels. also called this stingy for. the south because the northern people say why are we supposed to give

away our good money to those southerners who haven't really gotten their house in order when the time was good when the sun was shining they should have done reforms years ago they should a saved money they shouldn't have those huge mountains of debt that italy is sitting on for instance and so they because the they fear for their electoral bases they say basically ok we're ready to give the loans but we're not ready to give money away as grants that is more or less what the big $5.00 turns around but it's much more complicated than that of course as usual because the next european budget is also sort of thrown into the mix and then this this battle about who gets what and how much of of which sort of pot of money and will there be grants and at all will there only be loans and so on and so forth that is such a mix of difficult difficult conditions that i'm going to merkel will really have

to do her best to sort of sort this out how does she do this she sort of gives a good reason sweeties to some she threatens other she black mates the sword and she uses just the whole instrument area i'm off it political leader with a lot of experiences in long nights in brussels in order to get to the point where everybody will say yes exhausted and sort of going help what is on her side is that she can do this for longer than anybody else 3 o'clock in the morning 5 o'clock in the morning she's still up there everybody dead tired and then that's the point where they might finally give in that's part of the miracle magic i suppose. brosnan's barbour's always that you. the coronavirus crisis could become deadly for millions of patients nearly 40000000 people across the world are living with each i.v. anti-retroviral medications help to manage and control the condition but the 1000

pandemic is interrupting supply chains which deliver life saving each i.v. medications now that is just one of the dangers you wus adrian krege report. to be would have preferred not to come to the critics today because of the corona virus and to avoid questions from neighbors temby is not her real name she prefers to remain anonymous i know she has h i v positive and wants to make sure her one year old daughter does not become infected. my family knows and you. know. because they like to go for a little bit build they judge you it's our own it's not practice closed you don't know your future lives would have been too often. so you don't need to charge for. one in 5 mothers in khayelitsha township is age i be positive for

transportation chains this is a very serious problem that the issue is that they said that you have to take the medication every day and if you do not have medication for example poor months or even that week you might develop resistance against the medication and then it won't work anymore that w h o n u n aids estimates that about half a 1000000 additional aids that old face this year because of the call that 9000 prices. well finally if there is one place in the us that is intimately acquainted with history making tragedy it is new york city in our lifetime alone the big apple has been home to the dot com bubble bursting the financial crisis and ground 0 on 911 most of us remember that fateful day in 2001 you probably recognize this photo was well one of the most famous
