john lewis who marched alongside martin luther king and went on to serve his 17 terms in congress as died at the age of 80. i'm rebecca ritter's welcome to the program a year later is trying to reach agreement on a 750000000000 euro coronavirus recovery plan have extended their summit into a 3rd day despite meeting until late on saturday night in brussels they did failed to finalize a deal member countries are divided on how much of the money should be distributed as grants and how much as loans hard hit southern states including italy and spain a seeking substantial aid payments bought a group of fiscally frugal northern country. favor loans and more control over how

the money is spent. bridging the gap between the 2 opposite camps is a proving to be a major challenge but there is hope that a compromise will eventually be reached to summon you 1st in summary one can say it is going quite well things are going in the right direction of course as you'd expect it's a tough struggle a tough negotiation with the movement in the right direction and that's the most important thing is 5067 of us is we're going through a phase of stalemate there are many issues we are discussing. i'm inviting all leaders to converge towards a common issue 'd to approve the next generation he you which is a plan for european recovery not just for the country's most affected by coronavirus but for all of europe. to rob a different view points there yes let's bring in all f.

byrne a political analyst here and berlin all of thanks for joining me so austria and italy divided on how this summit is likely to pan out as you just heard what do you think is an agreement in raich today. yeah good morning rebecca. i think an agreement isn't reached but not today and so not at this weekend my gut feeling is that we will find some middle ground by the end of the day and then the bureaucrats and the delegation of it's a. hard mission to fulfill to reach a closer deal by the end of the month and then i expect leaders of the e.u. countries to meet again by the end of july to conclude the entire package but it's too complicated it's too big this is maybe the most pivotal summit since the last the euro crisis we had 10 years ago because this is the biggest pile of money

the e.u. ever dealt with right so we could be likely to be doing this dance again soon now if they don't agree with dave you're right with your opinion there how how bad does that look for germany so soon into the e.u. presidency. i think all analysts and all the political professionals behind the scenes and no one expected this will be an easy mission and. the lucky story maybe a message from berlin is with uncle america we have the longest serving head our state and maybe the most experienced and most talented crisis manager in the league so i think it will be a hard part of work for her to achieve. i could imagine that she can this is kind of her masterpiece maybe so at the end of her legacy this could be the biggest challenge she ever dealt with she managed the euro crisis she managed the

refugee crisis and everyone expected and prob forecast of that this will be her political and this is now really the biggest has to it to deal with i guess yes certainly very high stakes and we i mean we keep hearing that this summit is potentially the most important in the history how do you see it is is that is that true. in a way it is true so of course it's part of the e.u. d.n.a. too to always call it the most important and the most difficult or whatever but as i said it's this is we are talking about the biggest pile of money it's this is almost 2 trillion euros we're talking about so there's a lot of people who can gain a lot and people can lose a lot and this is the reason why i had of states are fighting so hard on the one hand we have the vision so we have the treasure the traditional division between north and east of the richard north actually is always

a little bit. cautious towards the so this was the frontline doing the euro crisis but here we have a new front line now all of a sudden we also have a dispute between east and west. ne actual game plan for just the multi annual budgets or the 7 year a budget for for the e.u. was $22.00 reintegrated to get those in the east specially hungary and poland but also the czech republic backs to play to the rules of the club so meaning fulfill the rule of law freedom of justice freedom of press we've seen various legal measures introduced in those countries who are in the groove. and the idea was to buy by telling them ok if you want to have more money from the 7 year budget then you have to get back and play to the roots all of a sudden now these countries have

a veto power because they know the salt is needing the money for for post corona crisis management urgently and now on and others are threatening with a veto and this is this is a really really tough moment and makes it even much more complicated than it has been already a tough moment indeed. a political analyst here in berlin thanks very much for the analysis you know a. well pandemic has had a devastating impact on economies around the world and the downturn is proving especially severe in israel a wide range of new restrictions has come into force there in response to a sharp spike in coronavirus cases. anger and despair on the faces of protesters taking to the streets in the capital tel aviv. this is my country i have given it everything and now that i need help my government is doing nothing. thousands of

israelis are taking part in daily nationwide protests against the government's handling of the crisis frustration is growing. like the last maybe days i fired all my workers and we are all thinking about it's all without any money. one in 5 israelis is unemployed because of the virus prime minister binyamin netanyahu promised a stimulus package weeks ago now he's offering emergency aid a 200 euro payment to every citizen whether the crisis affected them or not. really behold it. people will start consuming again once they have money and as soon as people start spending businesses will thrive i hope your. cash money is what shlomi eisenberg calls it his restaurant did not survive the pandemic he says that like many others he did not get any help he's on hunger strike hoping to put pressure on the government. good most and i will continue until we get what we were

promised there has to be a roadmap to make it through the crisis rather than this dithering. in may it looked as if israel had the virus and the control the government was quick to ease restrictions now every day says a record number of new infections the economy could not survive another full lockdown netanyahu is trying a lock down light instead as of next week restaurants will have to close shops swimming pools museums and beaches will shut it weekends but scientists say it won't be enough. there is no strategic. the system that was promised for the merger going this division was nor established there was some kind of no i would i would say panic critics say measures aimed at curbing the virus are inadequate and social policy is inconsistent when seen as a model for dealing with the pandemic israel is now
