this is d w news live from berlin brazil becomes the 2nd country to officially past 400002 cope with 19 deaths experts warn the daily death toll could remain high of months as the country has towards winter hospitals are operating at or near capacity but some areas have loosened restrictions also coming up. after $100.00 days in office joe biden's 1st speech to congress as president offers his vision for the u.s. including its borders why he calls for an end to what he says is america's exalting
1:01 am
war on immigration we have a special report on the mexican border. i'm here in homage welcome to the program brazil has become the 2nd highest country ought to the united states to pass 400000 coronavirus deaths the country has secured has struggled to secure enough vaccines for its population many hospitals operating at the brink of capacity but in the last 2 weeks the denny death toll has declined somewhat prompting some areas to loosen restrictions. the street so once again filling up in sao paulo and other cities after 4 weeks of local restrictions that have seen the number of new infections for slightly but the statistics are devastating. april has been the. deadliest month in brazil to date
1:02 am
many experts say insufficient lock down restrictions make the country a breeding ground for virus mutations that then spread to other countries the p one variant that 1st emerged in january in a city of menow says has triggered an explosion of infections and deaths with hospitals often running out of beds and oxygen the poor are being disproportionately affected around $12000000.00 brazilians live in favelas in extremely crowded conditions malnutrition is also a problem especially as government aid has been cut and unemployment has risen during the pandemic noel dole. all the data shows that the poorer you are the higher the rate of infection. the death rate from corona virus is much higher amongst people who are on the margins of society.
1:03 am
presidential year or so narrow argues that lock downs increase economic hardship but critics say brazil is paying a high price for his radical stance this week the senate opened an inquiry into ball scenarios handling of the pandemic so the president has resolutely ignored all scientific advice he long played down the virus and encourage the use of medications that doctors say are worthless with his poll ratings taking a hit balls an arrow is now making more of an effort to procure vaccines from abroad but in a country of well over $200000000.00 it would take many months to vaccinate even the most vulnerable of the current rate. in the meantime without any nationwide restrictions thousands are continuing to die in brazil every day. well for more on this joining me from sao paolo is journalist sam cowley
1:04 am
that's a joining us sam what's the reaction to the restrictions being loosened as we see another bleak figure in brazil but i mean it's hard to say you really quite frankly because they were never really any restrictions in the 1st place so. yeah like the local commerce associations are happy now that they can overcome their shops again for example. you know but and you know church use. evangelical making sure she is there that they will sadly had to close for a while woodstock but i mean this is the sea you go to the. periphery of you know sao paolo and all of the sentences and there are no knockdown measures in place and you know many people don't even wear masks so i was in the you know a lower income neighborhood on the outskirts of sao paolo just last friday with one street where 5 people had died in the same week and on the same street many people
1:05 am
were wearing mosque access to information it's difficult notes of people of all and victim to fake news and also is that when you have a president says you know it's 'd just a little flu. you know you know i used to be an athlete it wouldn't affect me but i took was that resonates with lots of people who work in the a pool economy and have to put food on the table each day so all round really is a perfect storm of this officer and you know some people. some you know there was an ex health ministry employee just this tuesday saying the worst is still yet to come because of wind so it's a very bleak picture here in the. and what impact will the parliamentary inquiry into boston are as the response have on his leadership. that's difficult to say. it's thought that the health minister will probably you know take the brunt of most all the blame mr bowles and all
1:06 am
road still has significant it's been doing but he still has significant support on the streets and the home where it's so i mean i few heads are expected to roll. what it will probably come down to will be horse trading. with the senate suits with the you know i had all the lections next year who are going to want you know from the federal government to need to you know finance infrastructure projects and except in there are constituencies before the elections next year yeah it probably will be a kind of slow bleed kind of situation for the president but it's very tough to say at this stage whether it will lead to any or any you know highly unlikely any any criminal proceedings but yet probably his popularity will take. a hit all right that is john the sound cowley speaking toughs from sao paolo thank
1:07 am
you so much sam thank you. now the southern border of the united states is one of the most contentious issues facing president joe biden as he mocks 100 days in office and his 1st speech to congress on wednesday barge and called for an end to america's war on immigration but to solve the border problem he'll have to succeed where his predecessors have failed correspondent carry the chinmoy sent us this report from texas. says the u.s. border next to mexico and texas lately they have seen more and more immigrants arriving on the u.s. side many of them across their front yard and even knock on their door they come in . water food anything in any way that they can get help. it's scary because of the fact that one could get into problems. another one who we say we don't know who they are. once
1:08 am
a week they get to the other side off the wall to the river fishing. the natural border between texas and mexico has been a tradition in their family for generations there they enjoy a beautiful landscape and a peaceful activity at a river that for many on the other side looks dangerous and life changing. simmie. with trump we saw less people crossing the border since biden they are more. my parents and they are from mexico so i do understand them but we just can't help we can't do anything for the down there he is still very much for. helping undocumented immigrants is against the law in the us helpers can even get arrested many of the people who cross the river are from central america they skate from life threatening situations at home or criminal activities are part of everyday
1:09 am
life for many to get to the u.s. is their only option close on the ground to where they crossed the river and wristbands mark their path from here it's only a 5 to 10 minutes right to cross of the rio grande there ever gets really narrow here this is why around 700 amy grant cross the river from mexico to the united states seeking asylum every day specially during the night according to the u.s. customs and border protection this number is going to increase during the next months a huge challenge for president biden who has promised a more humane immigration policy. instead the streets in rome are packed with national guard state troopers and police officers thousands of immigrants have been arriving every month in a city of roughly 12000 residents the mayor is concerned he knows the number is most likely going to increase were on their. side as far as we understand why but
1:10 am
at the same time we wish that there was a better way a better way for them to come across a more legal way and i think that's going to entail immigration reform for a better policy because right now. open border type situation is not the safest for anybody and every day concern for people like the bat made our family who know there is not an easy solution they just want to freedom and to live without fear just like the ones who cross the border. and. she moisture joins us now from a texas in the era of mission scary and tell us what is biden's mission now to deal with this crisis on the us mexico border. well so far president biden has not really address the crisis here in the south or in border of the united states to mexico and this is probably big mistake because republicans
1:11 am
are using this as a political tool against him against democrats and actually this crisis has been overshadowing also his efforts 100 days in office we have been seeing an increase a lawyer for cement agents like the border patrol's you can see behind me there are also state troopers and the national guard is also here at the border but there is no long term solution and that is exactly what people here in texas are expecting from their president wilson or the bar that has long campaign to change u.s. policy on immigration what will he need to do to get more support in congress. that is exactly the problem and the big challenge for president biden because democrats have a razor thin majority in the house of representatives they don't have a majority in the senate but the tie breaking vote of fice president come out to harris and they do need needs to come vince or republicans to support them and this
1:12 am
immigration reform and only the immigration reform that includes a path to citizenship for roughly $11000000.00 undocumented immigrants including dreamers that means the kids who arrived here in the united states and grew up here including farm workers and immigrants with a temporary protected status but they also have to tackle the the south and border crisis and therefore they do need their republican support the the issue of immigration has never been a popular a popular issue it divides people and republicans know that this is why they're using that and it's not certain if president biden is going to convince the republicans he needs to have on the boat to change this immigration policy in the states are to have to see how that goes that's correspondent cody that she moyen mission texas thank you. well germany's highest court has ruled that climate protection laws are too weak and don't go far enough to protect future
1:13 am
generations current legislation sets goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions until 2030 now a new plan will have to be made for the 21 so feedbacks in lives on the island of penn vom in the north sea her family runs a farm they experience the effects of climate change firsthand. it's very striking that we go from a very wet fall and winter to an extremely dry and warm spring and summer. we go from one extreme to the next. backs in once politicians to do more to protect the environment so she decided to challenge germany's climate protection law this sets a long term goal that germany should be climate neutral by 2050 to reach the goal by 2030 it should significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions but the law doesn't lay out a plan for the years after 2030 the constitutional court has ruled that this places
1:14 am
serious burdens on future generations violating their fundamental right to freedom the court says the government now has until the end of next year to reform the law economy minister says work on the changes will begin soon. so you must ensure that the path to the climate neutrality is made irreversible. though with the green party reading strongly in the polls and the elections nearing in september it could be more directly involved in rewriting the law. in the next legislative period we will do everything in our power to ensure that we follow the paris accord that we strengthen the climate protection law and that we launch a program that will have an immediate impact in the next few years. environmental groups including greenpeace and fridays for future back the legal challenge for them and 1st of feedbacks in this ruling is
1:15 am
a 1st important step in the right direction. well that's it you are up to date up next is chris cuomo with all the latest business developments more while these at the top of the hour and you can also find much more news analysis and video on our website that is the you dot com and we have. important news. smoking healthy posters signs are good for the b.b.c. global warming doesn't exist. well not yet comes from you have to read my mind. the industry is controlling your thoughts here. it's not
1:16 am
easy to spot. the great books of the 20th century. present day hoaxes. and who's behind the. manufacturing ignorance starts may 3rd on d. w. . u.s. president joe biden marks 100 days in office with an ambitious new spending plan for families and children. 3rd big legislative proposal taxing businesses and the wealthy to expand the role of government in the united states also coming up post another big quarterly loss on the german flag carrier and also to mystic about some right here in colombia tens of thousands of protesting government plans to start taxing smaller incomes to offset the pandemics down. on press.
1:17 am
welcome to the program joe biden started his time as u.s. president with lofty ambitions he pledged to bring the country out of the pandemic to fight racial justice injustice and to make a quote once in a generation investment creating what he calls the strongest most resilient and innovative economy in the world $100.00 days and he's poised to wreck up quite a bill 6 trillion dollars that's the whole the cost of biden's spending proposal so far this year the 1st $1.00 trillion dollars has already begun flowing into the economy including $1400.00 stimulus checks for many americans he's also proposed a $2.00 trillion dollars infrastructure bill it aims to update it in roads and bridges while also improving internet and electric vehicle networks and then that $1.00 trillion dollars bill and to improve child care and access to education mr
1:18 am
biden plans to pay for this by raising taxes increasing the corporate rate to 28 percent and the top rate for america's wealthiest to almost 40 percent own want impose any tax increase on people making less than $400000.00. but it's time for corporate america and the wealthiest one percent of americans to just began to pay their fair share. for more let's bring in our man on wall street yes in the run up with donald trump joe biden was corporate america's preferred presidential candidate is he still popular with them now that they'll have to cough up the money for his plans. well i mean overall the approval rating for joe biden is still historically high especially after the 1st 100 days serve but let me put it this way you can't have it both ways right or you can't have it all clearly corporate america did well come those huge tax cuts that we saw with donald
1:19 am
trump of the on the other side all the money that gets spent now by the washington is definitely helping consumer spending we just saw that in thursday's the numbers for it g.d.p. growth of 6.4 percent if you look at consumer spending that was up in the 1st quarter of almost 11 percent the 2nd highest growth rate when it comes to consumer spending since the sixty's and that is clearly good for the overall economy at least for now so 6 trillion dollars in $100.00 days that's what the proposal is and it is a gigantic shift in the economy of the united states it definitely is and i'm not sure if we have seen anything comparable since franklin d. roosevelt and specially it's not just the infrastructure spending that you mentioned and yes you did mention also that the family plan and i think that what really makes it exceptional so that joe biden tries to. fight all the inequality that we
1:20 am
have seeing we saw it during the pandemic that women for example really suffered in a very fast the fashion when the crisis hit them also some minority groups in the united states are still not really participating from the overall growth and that's what to joe biden tries to change was this tremendous package and trillions of dollars so one of the chances of all these plans becoming a reality. you know well i mean that at this point it's really the 4 trillion dollar question i mean we already had players for the roughly $1.00 trillion dollars in aid getting sent out in march so now the question is what happens to the 2300000000 trillion infrastructure plan what happens to the family plan what i'm hearing and my guess is that there is even some opposition when it comes to the size of the packages even within the democratic party the same is true by the way
1:21 am
for as a tax increase this text increases for corporation tax increases for the wealthy americans to tex increases on the capital gains tax and so what i'm hearing is that it's more likely that joe biden might have to scale back the amount of taxes that he might get and if that gets scaled back then maybe also the overall package is will have to be reduced so it's not going to be an easy task to get those plans put into reality as joe biden proposed legislation speech. germany's because there are 9 times i was posting a 1000000000 euro loss for the most recent quarter continuing its difficult path through the bent pandemic but better times could be ahead losses in the 1st quarter or less than before and an easing of travel restrictions is being planned. a stalled airline most of lufthansa's fleet has been grounded for months but the
1:22 am
planes still cost money parked aircraft need to be maintained and don't earn anything. and he will say a standing at plane is the world's most expensive billboard that means an aircraft on the ground not only doesn't pay for itself it also incurs costs if it's least for example they're also leasing costs. germany's biggest airline reacted quickly to the collapse in passenger numbers as the pandemic hit pilots flight attendants ground and backroom staff were put on part time. planes for parks and fuel guzzlers like the giant ad bus a $380.00 but completely jettisoned on top of that instead of relying on business travelers who buy business class tickets left hansis now targeting tourists. as the situation is not bad because it's out of the market. this week at the moment
1:23 am
so so there are not so many. operators on the other side ok we'll have to see if there's still a high complexity high costs. to look trans aside so that we're not really able to manage across space which is really competitive and below perspective. with more people gradually getting vaccinated look 10 2nd look forward to the end of the pandemic. passenger traffic should soon be increasing it specially from the u.s. as the e.u. starts planning to ease chance at mantic travel restrictions. now let's take a look at some of the other business stories making headlines airbus has reported a profit of 362000000 euros in bust water that came after a year on year losses airlines cut or delayed orders independent you know in plane maker says cost cutting measures and military sales put it back in profit amazon's pandemic boom isn't showing any signs of slowing down the company says its 1st

to keep its investment grade debt rating but they would lower the threshold at which people become liable for income tax the protesters say that could spell poverty for millions just as a new spike in coronavirus cases once again pushes the country into lockdown. this march is the biggest display of outrage against this government against the tax reform. and against the labor and pension reform. the government has gone against the country and the country is responding in more than $500.00 communities. many qualities in colombia is among the highest in latin america about half the working population depends on informal work the world bank warns that 4000000 people more than one in 10 is threatened with poverty in the next few years undoing the successes of the last decade and that was before the
1:26 am
proposed tax reform anger has long been growing against the government of president even duca which saw the 1st protests get underway last year but now is due because administration fails to get the pandemic under control that anger has boiled over. in turkey. as approaching 40000. by putting the country. times have been tough for turks for a while the economy in tatters prices up and stores empty on top of it all the news this week as of thursday everyone stuck at home except to buy food at the stores are closed and store owners obviously concerned. ticket it will be difficult for all of us because we have texas rent payments to pay we have children and they have to study we have to bring food home and we live in
1:27 am
a period where everything is very expensive we will go through a trumpet in difficult period may god help us. about the current pandemic situation in turkey demands strict measures if the country can't get its current numbers down the economic pain will only get worse as summer comes and with it tourist season. i'm a good little beast with a lockdown if necessary to bring the cases down because tourism is our everything for the tourism season to open the cases need to come down to a certain number i think this is necessary. for almost 3 weeks now turks will be staying at home hoping to do their part to save the summer and manage an economic recovery. and eventually museums and art galleries have been closed for more than a year now because of lockdown restrictions it's a real problem for the art sector but also for people who appreciate cultural nurse so some gallery owners in naples decided to bring art to one of the few places
1:28 am
where people can still go its message being feeding souls is as important as feeding bodies especially during a pandemic. thanks for watching ever solve a successful. enter the conflict. zone with sarah kelly last year germany was seen as a role model in fighting the coronavirus pandemic now a 3rd wave is hitting the country hard and merkel's party is slipping ahead of september elections as germany for paris to move on from merkel in what face just to leave the party and her country my guest this week is your going hard spokes person for the conservatives parliamentary for conflict. to come.
1:29 am
to the point the strong opinion is a clear position i'm supposed international perspective such. it's the ultimate covert catastrophes soaring infections are the most at breaking point a death rate that kicks shattering records are missteps by the government to blame coronavirus in india out of control that's our top they come to the point to point the to. the 60 minutes on t w. what secrets lie behind small. discover new adventures in the 360 degree. and explore fascinating world heritage sites. d.w. world heritage 316 get enough now.
1:30 am
i see you chance for a message to become much more popular. but the bottom line is that the base does not support laughs at. don't believe the fake information are you concerned that germany is falling also into a trap when it comes to china we have to take a more tough way the contrast couldn't be more stark last year germany was seen as a role model in fighting the coronavirus pandemic now it's there and wave is hitting the country hard america's party is slipping ahead of september elections which will decide her successor after 16 years in power my guess this week is your going to hart c.d.u.
1:31 am
member of the german bundestag and spokesperson for the conservatives parliamentary group as germany prepares to move on from merkel in what state does she leave her party and her country. you're going hard to welcome to conflicts kanno 16 years of angela merkel and these days the c.d.u. has lost ground in the polls there's been a bitter fight for her succession in the party and corona virus is hitting the country hard issue leaving behind a mass i think we had seen or had a tough debate on the question who might successor might be success not from the union as you see is a union from for chance a ship in germany. through 2 weeks ago we are good formed about that both chairman of the 2 parties to seize will mark a suitor from season and i mean i said from city both want to run as katie did for
1:32 am
chancellor chip and it took 9 days of discussion in different formats as a party and then the decision came out that i mean i said to chair i was to see the prime minister for most of us fadia would be candidate i think 9 days is not too much to take such a important decision and look it was a coded message to ation we have learned yesterday from the meeting from the prime ministers was the chancellor that we make huge steps forward concerning that situation. we are now about 25 percent of corporations and i want to talk about in particular about that battle for succession but 1st let me ask you about a the state of unity at the at the very top though because in the past month merkel very publicly criticized her successor and the party arm in washington you've just mentioned over lock down policies does merkel not want the c.d.u. to be in the chancellor a 4th term. we don't have the feeling that the chance of
1:33 am
a boston voice in that fight between the 2 party chairmen i think she was standing in neutral in that position there's some debate i think we in what i just heard about it meant you know what i'm talking about forgive me mr hart is is that she publicly on a highly viewed television program singled out shit for failing to activate an emergency brake in the face of rising cases he also criticized her lockdown measures as treating citizens like under age children so with rhetoric like that flying back and forth between top politicians tell us this public display of disagreement when the cd is future claim for the chancellorship is shaky does she not want the c.d.u. to retain power and i don't i don't see that and that way and we have this to do ration germany that we have 616 state governments it's a federal witness stand it was different kind of combinations of government really
1:34 am
all are led by coalitions and i mean lawsuit is heading a coalition including the liberal party which is opposite to the federal government it's a federal level and it's a huge challenge to bend the different minds and routes into different parties in the questions and the states and the chance to knows about the difficulty especially i mean let's it has was the liberals which are much more in favor of the opening of business and restaurants for example instead of stating a lot. knockdown and this debate was ended by i mean last it and i think a proper way and look at to that point he reached a. state having a one person to charity of the parliament and running a successful government for a over 4 years now this is a impressive result but could there not be in our more unity that is the question you mentioned earlier that the cracks that have been openly displayed in your conservative party young in the process to pick the candidate for a chance of described as chaotic public very messy 5 months before you go to
1:35 am
a national election don't conservatives be need to be more united to win him i think we are on the night of no behind i mean less that i suspect that those who oppose his are christians also union in bavaria and its leader marcus it has stayed close behind the candidate on the left that we have had this debate in germany also and of the seventy's as you remember 3 years later the chairman o.c.d. with him of course tensed up by getting 48.8 percent of the elections and $3083.00 to $4.00 but now it's. just amazing of the people concerned in the result of selection and what will be the real result in 5 months there will be huge huge gap between and i hope that you didn't see that and see as who will increase they are. there they have a pulse and also the result at the end and this also too to the fact that.
1:36 am
most of the people expect that city who could do it better than those have your pens the right hope though on the right candidate because 72 percent of your conservatives disagreeing that you didn't pick the right candidate they say that the c.s.u. candidate marcus it or not the c. to use on lash it was better suited to become chancellor so why didn't you take the most favored candidate. i can tell you in my experience it was that in the spring 17. 1000 troops from the social democrats far off was falling head off i'm going to mark it as a chance that candidate of the city would seize with the time put to a 2017 elections and nobody believed that it was easy you can do it again and looking to results as a social democrats with multi choice came out very poor after the last elections
1:37 am
because momentum few on the popularity of politicians it's nothing we have we can trust on concerning the outcome of elections and i mean let's it by himself he was to fall behind the acting prime minister of nelson disfigure in may 2017 and he won the election but the bottom line is that the base did not support lash at the base of your party your grass roots in your party are said to be frustrated and fact if you're not even listening to them how should people think that you listen to the country don't don't don't believe what you can read in flux from. others and my estimation especially from the debate and of proof 2 weeks ago where we discussed it was up to 70 and. questions to the candidates in the group meeting and there was. a propaganda around that mark a pseudo boss was spinning that and i am sure that if we would have voted in that
1:38 am
time that would be of a charity for me like shit don't believe the fake information that is sponsored by those who wants to have got that can stop it as a fight it happened i think it is important i suppose i started on the right decision by by by the 59 percent that said that it would would not be a good candidate according to the dutch law and trend for example i mean there's many polls that that go in that direction but i just like so mr how many of those people can't judge on it how many people know about i mean that's it michael said as much more. my midnight shift is a term to lead and in germany as prime minister of bulgaria and i see you chance for i mean i said to become much more popular and on the campaign trail and he will at the end of the day it with the elections but just briefly i mean the c.d.u. has already lost the bellwether of a national elections in the past months and you worried the same might happen on the national level i don't i don't think so i would like not like to have it i think we have to have the how to do hard work but you could do that what does the
1:39 am
results in the last elections were i mean last it reached a 6.7 percent cost in the last elections it was not $17.00 and michael save the pseudo last 10.4.5 per cent of area forces it is christian social union therefore i cannot i cannot see that the suit up beyond a better track concerning success than was i mean i should bottom line there is a sentiment among many in the country that they're tired they're tired of the coronavirus pandemic in fact 79 percent also they say that they are not satisfied with the way that the government has managed the pandemic doctors are warning that i.c.u. beds are filling up it's quite a contrast because last year germany was being held up as a role model for fighting the pandemic did merkel get too comfortable i think we have some point spread germany it's not a leading euro if you look for example to the rate of people that died with corona germany is in the top group. with. significantly
1:40 am
lower numbers and several different other states especially sweden are also u.k. also but we have a problem concerning the vaccine the challenge for the opinion is that we are able to develop excellent vaccine like buying tech works even from from germany but that we are not able to put to use it in high quantities not able to produce it in i quantities because we have kept as far from. you know how much my ticket protests not as not as for example in china or even on us and we have to to face the challenge in europe that we have to come closer to a point where we also were able to produce such things in our borders we'll get to the vaccine that's certainly something that we're going to talk about but let's talk about the other tools say you've had your disposal because there's been a lot of confusion about the government's measures the delay of the rapid test rollout for example ahead of the easter holiday merkel she tried to institute
1:41 am
a hard lockdown then rolled it back after harsh criticism then took the extraordinary step of issuing a formal apology has merkel lost her way. i think some of us and including me we would appreciate to have something like a half block down for the 2 easter weeks the week before and off they used to because we think that schools were closed in that time to see all the days that also business stone around is done and there would be a good chance to refuse the fiction rate in germany by doing a hard to lock down for 2 weeks but this was not possible to agree on between say 16 different and had so for the goodness and in germany and 2 to the effect that the health policy is mainly driven by the states the federal government cannot push through is actually a measure looking back to what we have tapped into last week's i think of the number of people that expect that it's actually. down over the stone would be
1:42 am
better than that but we did it's increasing but that's have us now saying now we have this regulation that about hundreds. we have to to shut down from 10 in the evening up to 5 in the morning i hope that will help to reduce the number of convictions the majority of people say though that the federal government has simply repeatedly promised more than it could deliver on the measures that it has had at its disposal and you know you're talking about these these these locks. sounds now isn't it interesting seeing countries for example like the u.k. and the u.s. slowly opening back up on germany is still talking about harsher lockdowns highly controversial night curfews dramatic changes to the law for a so-called emergency brake. i think looking to all those other countries and you mentioned you mentioned to u.k. the people in those countries have to face much harder and much much harsher transcription than we have effected germany germany was under relatively smooth
1:43 am
