to be high risk including the united states brazil russia and turkey. the wus thomas sparrow is following this for us this morning good morning to you thomas and how is this set to work in practice and does this affect all border crossings land sea and air this test and mandatory element of it has been extremely controversial in germany in the last few days in particular because it was seen as an encroachment on the rights of people returning home and that's where the government here in germany had been very careful in trying to decide how exactly they could carry that out they came to the conclusion that they could only guarantee that proportionality if they did it with these countries and regions deemed high risk those are countries and regions deemed high risk by germany's public health is secured over coffee institute and that affects most countries outside of the european union this measure this compulsory measure will start in the next few days and it will mostly be in when people come back to germany for
9:03 am
example in airports but for example above area in the southern part of germany has also announced that he will carry out certain tests in. borders for example as well all train stations ok thomas you mentioned this is been a very controversial very heated discussion here in germany over the last few days now one reason spain is not considered a high risk under yet new infections many of them have been traced back to holly holiday makers returning from spain now that doesn't give the appearance this mandatory rule will be evenly applied. and this has to do with this proportionality element that i mentioned however germany's health minister did mention yesterday that he was particularly concerned about the situation in spain if you look at the guidelines of the travel guides of the german government it still says that spain as a whole does not go beyond that limit for the german government to announce restrictions but the german government has nevertheless stated that it's particularly concerned
9:04 am
about the outbreaks in certain regions in spain ok there is a background of course to this in germany is today marking 6 months since its 1st registered coronavirus case politicians are warning germany is facing a 2nd wave let's take a look at the. 6 months after defers carona case was diagnosed in germany many people are beginning to relax why dear many you seen as having coped well so far the government continues to warn that divorce may be yet to come. and yet if now in the summer through our leisure and travel behavior we cause a rise in the rate of infections overall infections then it will become all the harder to keep the situation under control this autumn. so far germany's health system has not been a very straight bite of whiteness. over the last 6 months more than 200000 people
9:05 am
in germany where confirmed to have coronavirus and more than $9000.00 plus the apes . figures a slightly back on the rise lately called show germans continue to support the cautious approach of uncle american government. extended us i believe that the government has controlled the crisis well. spent that compared to other countries germany has managed. some india position i think the policy should be more focused on the economy to be honest i never liked the word social distancing i appreciate the word physical distancing it's important that we stay in contact with we are human beings we're social beings that we need to contact i think that is the 1st step that we have to look at and of course secondly to make sure that our economy still is running because without economy we would have no health and without no health we have no economy to concern now is
9:06 am
that the holiday season mia sparked a 2nd wave of depend. ok with these concerns out there thomas how would you have any respond to a 2nd wave would we see broad lock downs again or would they be more localized. the idea is that they would be more localized the overall goal 'd is to avoid general lockdowns now the decision as to when to impose facilitate local lock down the specific routes restriction this mostly in the hands of regional leaders here in germany and that's why the specific cases or outbreaks in regions for example now in bavaria are being looked at very carefully by regional leaders to see how german leaders have to deal with it in particular what they are doing for example is increasing the number of tests or also increasing precautions but this is mostly up to regional late as the idea the goal as i mentioned is to avoid overall lock downs
9:07 am

9:09 am
committed his life to advancing justice and understood that to build a better future we had to acknowledge the pest. house speaker nancy pelosi spoke of louis' a man revered and beloved by both sides of the political aisle. his body is lying in state at the capitol rotunda where lawmakers are members of the public a lock can pay their respects. to be a great man or is the joy for our civil rights and personally most of whom are so many of our generation nowadays needs to look back and learn. how he helped to realize the ideals that this country was founded on that all men are created equal hopefully we as younger people will come together and continue to walk in his
9:10 am
footsteps and carry on that mantle. arriving in washington on monday representative lewis took a final 2 of the capital. his motorcade made a symbolic drive down black lives motto boulevard but a time of heightened racial tension in the u.s. mourners lined the street to honor the late congressman. our recording of the late civil rights icon was played one last time for his fellow his. never hate. live in peace. we are 1. 1 people and want to thank you very much. the words he wanted the world to read by. i'm joined now for more by did abuse stacey bivins did morning to stacey varney you've been following the commemorations inside the
9:11 am
retard 1st for us began his his career as a baptist pastor he was a stalwart of the civil rights movement that's right who started out in the early sixty's risking his life bodily harm to try to bring equality to all americans and this is one of the reasons why he was so beloved because he was genuine and his love for human for other humans and he was determined i mean arrested 40 times as an activist 5 times as a congressman never gave up because he felt like america needed to live up to its promise and to have a more perfect union and so this is why be so beloved that even though he faced racism state sanctioned brutality various forms of white supremacy he never saw the years away from his message of love and he never veered away from this message of nonviolent civil disobedience which he referred to as good trouble is such an important message for america right now when we see the country so divided so on
9:12 am
able to speak with a common voice on so many key issues right now do you think that lewis was a person who would have been able to bridge this difficult divide america scene where well i think he's proven that he could do i mean he has he's been in congress for over 30 years as i said he was an activist and he was essential and bringing about his rights act on the civil rights act. and opening up a world to african-americans like me who wouldn't have the life that we have if it was not for him and when you look at how he was honored in the rotunda nancy pelosi the speaker saying that he was beloved and reviewers across. party lines and cinema surety leader mitch mcconnell also talking about his great character you see how he was able to touch people from different parties and it wasn't just a political thing i think that what's really powerful about who this man is is the
9:13 am
fact that people on the street still follow his example decades after he was beaten and arrested violence of standing up exactly what you know characters important you mention that as part of his legacy what else using will be part of that legacy i think part of his legacy is the black left matter movement there is no surprise that his his casket was stopped on black last matter boulevard that's a strong signal that he supports this movement and that he was really hardened by the diversity of people black white latino asian native american all coming together with one voice across the country i think that this is his legacy i think that people like me are his legacy i mean i come my family comes from the deep south mississippi and my mom's brothers and sisters would tell me stories about walking and seeing black people hanging from trees about being chased a verbal e assaulted and being afraid to look
9:14 am
a white person in the eye like i'm doing with you right now he has a fear of what could happen to them from a far away yeah so i realized after century no exactly and we have him to thank for this and this is part of his legacy and it's an ongoing journey to be used as a bevan's business nice a very much stacy for coming in on the story you're welcome. it's ukraine now where russia separatists are being accused of breaching a ceasefire the country's east the separatists deny the accusations the truce agreed with the help of international mediators was supposed to end the 6 years of fighting that have killed more than 13000 people. the marks of war everywhere internet people here long for peace but the most recent cease fire was reportedly broken barely after it began ukraine's army blames pro russia separatists although the only go between 20 past midnight and quarter to one they fired small arms short range missiles and large caliber weapons nobody was injured. and.
9:15 am
the separatists rejects the accusations russian television has been reporting extensively on the cease fire and on a phone call on sunday between presidents putin and selenski moscow expressed concern that ukraine's announcement that it wanted to renegotiate the peace plan for good legal rights ukrainian troops have been fighting russian backed separatists in eastern ukraine since 2014 the united nations estimates that some 13000 people have been killed in the conflict. the pro russian separatists in what they call the done yet the people's republic support the latest ceasefire but it's not clear that the agreement will hold. if we face anime aggression the people's militia is prepared to take appropriate action the ceasefire is seen as an important precondition for a new peace summit german chancellor angela merkel and french president and the new
9:16 am
on my car broke out in meeting between putin and selenski in paris in december now they want to do the same in berlin. we have some businesses now and the french carmaker p.s.a. has posted an after tax profit of $600000000.00 euros in the 1st half of the year as remained in the black that despite the coronavirus crisis but that figure is down by 2 thirds compared to the same period last year the company which owns brands like for show in sitra one expects the european car market to shrink by a full quarter this year p.s.a. is nonetheless hoping to merge with of chrysler group that is pending approval by the european commission. on paper it could be a dream merger if the e.u. commission gives it the green light. on chrysler as access to the large american market and opals parent company pujo situ and is a leader in electric car development under the new brand name style and as they
9:17 am
would be a force to be reckoned with in europe's competitive car industry at least that's the plan. p.s.a. in fia and chrysler had a combined turnover of around $170000000000.00 euros last year together they employ more than 400000 people and sell nearly $9000000.00 cars annually. the merger would make p.s.a. and fia and chrysler the 4th largest car manufacturer worldwide but the commission has voiced concerns recently and now wants to re-evaluate the planned merger after all the merger could severely reduce market competition especially for delivery vehicles and the coronavirus crisis isn't helping the situation either p.s.a. sold around 45 percent fewer cars in the 1st half of the year and their future partner fi at chrysler is also coping with a slump in sales both companies are no hoping that the e.u. commission won't put the brakes on the deal. let's talk more about this now with
9:18 am
the w.'s financial correspondent in frankfurt chelsea delaney good morning to you chelsea how are investors responding to the news from p.s.a. today. the takeaway seems to be that this wasn't as bad as as a lot had been fearing they are still profitable and that's really in comparison to a lot of other automakers that are reporting pretty big losses for this quarter for example timelier recently reported a loss of almost 2000000000 euros for the quarter so they are still making making money at the same time of course they they are seeing really significant sales declines because of because of the coronavirus they base all revenue down by 30 percent this quarter and they still do expect the market to contract by about 25 percent for the full year so even as we are seeing sales start to pick up again
9:19 am
from from the low point it's going to be 0 a while until things recover in the way they did before but they are also are quite optimistic about the status of this merger which is also helping the stock a bit today david through the bars of course wayne hughes well on the european central bank you've had some pandemic advice for the euro zone's big banks which the e.c.b. been saying they're basically telling banks to to save as much money as they can so they're telling banks to not pay dividends to not pay big bonuses to executives and to not be buying back shares and till we see how how deep the financial problems are going to be for these things so they've put this in place through january of next year but we are still it's very unclear how much money banks are going to lose through the crown virus pandemic there have been estimates of between 400000000000 and 800000000000 euros worth of bad loans over the next several years so there clearly is is going to be
9:20 am
a lot of financial stress going forward and they do need to have a pretty significant liquidity buffer ok frugality on a lot of people's minds right now chills delay need for us in frankfurt thanks very much. well in cameroon a long history of mistrust between hospitals in the public has been made worse by the chronic virus the west african countries recorded some 12000 cases had about 300 deaths but some families allege that deaths attributed to are often not really caused by blaise young. harry are you is this isn't the greek for the 1st time. 2 months ago. doctors at a government hospital in western cameron said a 42 year old. but harry and the rest of the family the hospital is using to. something else. and i go off.

a front line doctor at the private hospital in the capital being cheered as claims made by families. this accusation come so most of the time because of denial denial of the 1000 diagnosis most people don't want to believe that they would defy many members could have called 1000 this in iowa could be links to a number of fact else 1st deny all to force trisha over to death of a loved one who receives his family has not seen it test results sure his brother was in fact there with a cord of virus you want and says but it's all like you don't get any. let's have a look now at some of the other developments in the pandemic global does from the virus have now top 650000 with nearly a 3rd of those thought to have been in europe now that as fears of a renewed surge in infections push a number of countries to reimpose restrictions china has reported its 1st case of domestic transmission in more than 2 weeks with

9:25 am
obviously the season is very much delayed and very truncated but this is a big problem very early on this is america's national sport is there a threat to the entire season well the commissioner rob manfred who's in charge of the sport has said he doesn't see this as a night mare but obviously it is a big issue he says the positive tests prove that the m o b protocols are working because they've managed to catch these positive tests and put the players into quarantine now it is true that this season because of coronavirus all teams are allowed to have bigger rosters and you have to cope with this so at the moment as things stand the yankees are going to play philadelphia tonight and the mullins are going to play baltimore tomorrow even though some of the players may have come into contact with these positive tests. about all of us are the fans aren't allowed in the stadiums at the moment but they're still worried by a few awards and they'll be kind of rushed this a little bit given the why did situation in the u.s.
