you do get the impression the people here are much more relaxed now, and that is, for manning, a matter of concern. berliners are clearly enjoying their regained freedoms, but they are also skeptical. >> i think it is going too fast. i think there might be a second wave. >> i have mixed feelings. >> all in all, i have to say it is a bit too early with all that has happened. >> despite these concerns, germany seems to have the outbreak mostly under control, and a vast majority of those who have tested positive for the coronavirus have since recovered. nevertheless, chancellor merkel has said people should remain vigilant. >> it would be depressing if we had to go back to restrictions that we all want to leave behind because we wanted too much, too

children to their entire families. the need has been growing steadily. >> at the beginning of creating this response, we called parents to ask what the situation was, ask about their previous income, their current income. we found 80%-90% had lost their income. we thought we had to do something. some have received cash transfers. around 500. we are anticipating to spend -- send to 500 more. >> but handing out food parcels to hundreds of people during a pandemic has not been easy. a solution? technology. these wristbands, originally used as electronic meal tickets for small children -- for schoolchildren, are now being used by their parents to collect food parcels. >> once they register, they come to school with the parents mobile number and they get a

wristband. this helps us know exactly who we are distributing to, plan ahead in terms of quantities, and be able to gauge who is coming into receive meals, and also make sure they do not come more than once so we are able to limit this and practice social distancing. >> she is depending on donations to feed her six children. she lost her laundry business during the pandemic. with her kids now home, the regular packet guarantees that her family will get hot meals even when everything else remains uncertain. >> two kilograms of flower is one dollar $.30. if i were $1.50 -- if i earn one dollar and $.50, i can still not afford vegetables. if i have these dry foods, i can use the money to buy other ingredients, so these parcels go

arrivals during the lockdown, but there are reports of pushback. the latest report that you are mentioning, we have not gotten confirmation yet. we have e received the reports. we have no confirmation. but this is not our respononsibility. our responsibility is to flag this, see what is wrong, and find out the right thing to do -- and apply the right t thing o do. we have been working hard d for the past five years with greek authorities to ensure the best is done for refugees. the european states finally, after years of negotiation, have agreed to take a number of minors. greece is still very much alone on the front line of this crisis, just like malta, italy, another frontline. countries have t to create a

system to share this in europe. we have been working on this for how long? fofour o or five years. still, it is subject to negotiation almost case-by-case. these problems will continue to occur if we don't have these systems. >> you can find the full report about alleged abuse and illegal deportation of migrants on our website, dw.com. covid-19 has forced teams to play games in empty stadiums without fans. so, can a mental coach help them get used to this new normal? >> they hired a sports psychologist to head up the bundesliga's return behind closed doors last weekend. he touched on the importance of being mentally ready without the

fans. >> what is special l is the fact there are no fans. it's extremely weird. for that, we need to be prepared. itit's a question of mentality. it'very imporortant. yomamake a pass oror shoot and o one cheers.. we must deal with that and be well prepared. that is key. they went on to dominate their arrival in their return to action. he is a sports psychologist who has worked with footballers. >> we try to get the mind out of the body's way. that is how we put it. sometimes, it is just dealing with some of the anxieties that keep the level of performance down. it's a motivation you need to push a little harder. we have different techniques.

>> he concurs with that forward thinking. >> the new psychologist should get some credit. he was very aware of the situation. you cannot deny that the fans and crowd create an atmosphere that has an impact on your emotions. you feel the difference. the atmosphere they create makes the game more valuable. i think it was very important for them to have a sport psychologist. >> even in berlin, the only german city with two bundesliga clubs, neither have a sports psychologist on staff. >> in some clubs, it is more of a cultural issue, that sport psychology did not play a role in the past. they don't think it necessary to be a big part of the future as well. but times are changing. other teams are already applying sport psychology.

they are a step ahead. >> the german football league through its union offers the services of a sport psychologist, but having one on the club payroll doesn't compare. are some bundesliga teams neglecting the mental side of the game? >> they are missing out on the team part of sport psychology. you need to build a team, build a relationship. teams that already have a sport psychologist, they are prepared. >> games without fans are planned for the rest of the season, and maybe beyond. the time could be right for the bundesliga to embrace a new way of thinking. phil: today is the united nations international day for biological diversity. i would like to introduce you to flamingo bob. bob survived getting trapped in plastic in the caribbean. he teaches children about the
