8:02 am
it is it's a retaliation if people don't if people don't give us what we need for our people we're going to be very tough and we've been very tough usually we don't have to use it but we've used to plenty it's turning out more and more unfortunately and it works very well. for us as the world's largest number of confirmed covert 900 cases it now stands at 336009600 americans died germany is also in the midst of a significant outbreak as more than 100000 cases. has more on the bottle to secure lifesaving supplies. there's a number of rallies brewing between the united states and its allies over the tactics used to procure protective equipment such as masks the re direction into the united states while in bangkok airport of some 200000 masks that were supposed to be going from china to the berlin police or resulted in

8:04 am
we had 3 him hard to date after seeing what they were doing with their masks big surprise to many in government as to what they were doing will have a big price to be as well as these german claims that the u.s. may have intercepted equipment canada has made similar allegations in fact prime minister justin trudeau said that he'll be speaking with the u.s. president donald trump this coming week saying that such actions could harm both nations in the long run we are continuing to engage in constructive discussions with a different levels within the administration to highlight that the u.s. will be hurting itself as. much as candidate will be hurting if we see an interruption of essential goods and services flow back and forth across the border the british government is being stressing the importance of working together with other nations when it comes to protective equipment for front line workers it's the
8:05 am
team or for that and the national mission to defeat an international pandemic but french officials say to us by is they're flexing their financial muscles when it comes to snapping up the much sought after protective gear i found a stock of masks that was available and americans i'm not talking about the american government but americans are they offered 3 times the price and they proposed been upfront i can't do that i'm spending taxpayers' money while donald trump was particularly slow when it came to accepting the severity of the coronavirus it seems that sharp elbows fight wallets and presidential to crease the companies over who they should sell their goods to how we hopes to make up for lost time future all over our berlin. well the white house has denied seizing any masks over seas intended for other countries and the manufacturer 3 m. is said that it has no evidence that any shipment was confiscated. to italy

were $15800.00 people have died since the start of the outbreak that's the highest figure in the world the mortality rate has been slowing in recent days but funeral services in several provinces are still overwhelmed. we have received approximately 150 coffins and used for time that the army is going to collect them and take its operations out all over and with an iterator in.
8:07 am
any moment talk to our you. face an absolutely extraordinary situation as the qana virus mortality rate here is very very high demand for confidence has multiplied by 5 to 8 times compared to what used to be normal yes. it is the. safety fears of seeing a hospital in paris employed bodyguards to school stuff to their cars or public transport this is after a spike in attacks on medical workers since the start of the cove in 19 and make this is working at a hospital in the capital were filmed on saturday being accompanied by guards to take trains the garden or station is just a 10 minute walk from the hospital it's still employees didn't feel safe making the short journey alone. would you call so i can now say that we get to go home in
8:08 am
peace i'm afraid not to wondering whether we are going to be assaulted we saw the police dean aggressive people some colleagues have been assaulted it is happening more often because fewer people are allowed out on. the streets softer several incidents the hospital organized a security presence for us. sit up on your phone it's the 1st time the protection like this has been put in place we have several colleagues who have been assaulted there are rumors that there is a drug addict near here who's to be dangerous last fall because in order to seem clear which medics are given to people in their work we hope to give to them by helping them by working for them and by helping them to get home safely. or most european countries are in some form of lockdown sweden has so far taken a more relaxed approach the authorities of advise the public to practice social distancing but progress schools bars and restaurants all still remain open and only
