well for more let's cross straight over to our political correspondent kate brady kate i'm going to call is now at home in quarantine what does this mean for her and her ability to govern. well so far we know that she will be continuing to at least as much as possible from work now the cabinet meeting the usual monday cabinet meeting will be taking place today and she will be participating most likely via video by a telephone conference call but the idea is that it will very much be business as usual here of course as still constant changes here in germany to be dealt with possible new measures later this week but particularly when it comes to financial aid as well here in germany we're expecting to see a supplementary budget come out this week of up to $156000000000.00 euros that would be around 43 percent of germany's normal budget so there's still a lot to be done here in germany and of course and america will be trying to participate in as much of that as possible while she remains at home in south korea and. when will we find out kate whether the chance actually has been 19. well al

ordered bars cinemas museums and sports facilities to close are going to get the latest now from kate's brady she's reporting in berlin for us kate's i was out on the streets here yesterday and really did seem like business as usual now though we're seeing these strict measures in berlin is it still the case are people taking this seriously now. certainly there's been a huge shift in the last 2448 hours here particularly in the german capital of course yesterday we saw the latest measures brought in the closure of bars and clubs here in berlin of course something that the german capital is very famous for if not infamous for many tourists flocking here every year to get a slice of birdland nightlife those have now been closed until mid april and of course by choose day all day and all schools and universities will be closed here as well with many of the german states taking similar measures so we'll see a little more people as well a lot more parents working from home which of course has its own knock on effects some people are being excluded from that and being offered emergency childcare fo

we get more from political correspondent kate brady who's at the bundestag in bath and welcome kate to talk us through what's being decided today. well the focus of a phil is very much on the infamous german reich now usually i would this is actually in shrine to into the german constitution and this prevents the german government from taking on new debt up to a limit of no point 35 percent of economic output so most of change of course here today in germany and the parliament is expected to vote places today on an exception rule and emergency rule which will allow the government to take on debt and we're expecting to see figures of some 156000000000 euros of new debt being taken on by the german government now this is of course is in response to the coronavirus and on top of that there is an actually a separate financial aid package already prepared of 500000000000 euros to help bail out big business is another 50000000000 euros to small businesses and also on top of that to the labor ministry for example as well is also easing access to welfare payments and so people who are perhaps

curve to minimize the spread of 90 kate thank you so much that was our political correspondent kate brady . and some hopeful news just coming in from germany's public health institute says that there are signs that the rise in new coronavirus infections in germany is leveling all the all but call institute says it's often mistake that measures taken including school closures and strict warnings against public gatherings are already having an effect but it will be some days yet before the trend can be confirmed. now the u.s. government is redoubling its efforts to halt the spread of the corona virus the country has more than 33000 confirmed cases now the 3rd highest number after china and italy new york city is a hot spot and it's mayor has warned that hospitals there are just 10 days away from running out of basic supplies several states including new york have already ordered citizens to stay at home. even the buzzing heart of manhattan has now gone quiet all nonessential businesses must stay closed and their workers must remain at home it's part of a stringent a set of rules coming into

and let's bring in our political correspondent kate brady with the latest on the story hi kate what does this mean that the chancers going into quarantine how will this affect her ability to govern. well so for us i mean we know that machall has moved most of her meetings and conferences to video calls over the next couple of weeks in what should be required to stay in quarantine harlem of course as you said as we heard there in the report sorry she is leading by example but a lot of business it's a case rating of business as usual she is trying to continue and take part in as many meetings as possible and of course there are a lot of issues to be dealt with at the moment possible increases and measures in the coming weeks even and of course today we also saw the usual cabinet meeting as well which she took part in via a video call so she is trying to continue her work as chancellor as much as possible while still remaining at home of course we haven't yet got the test results either the german government spokesperson stefan ziba said that the chancellor will be tested regularly in the c

and for more on this let's bring in our political correspondent kate brady who has been following the situation in germany kate the measures imposed are they sufficient are they effective. well so new there was the murmurs at least of some cautious optimism earlier this week from the robot cooking for public health here that indeed that curve may be flattening but right now it is indeed too early to say exactly what effect these measures are having now of course they have being officially in place these closures of nonessential shops for example is in the ban on logic gatherings for for almost a week now and we had just there they're going to be in place now until april 20th and there is still the concern as well that there are many cases here in germany that still a no no we also heard just at the end of this week from the health minister on announcing that germany plans to increase its testing as well in the coming weeks at the moment or rather in the last week there was somewhere around half a 1000000 tests carried out in a week and the plan is to hope that to somewhere to around a

kate brady reporting for us there kate good to talk to you. all the latest victim of the coronavirus is volkswagen the car a german car giant is halting production of most of its german and european plants this after the pandemic has interrupted supply chains and made it necessary to protect workers and we'll have more on the company's announcement in just a few minutes. france is going into a nationwide lockdown today president a man on my car says the country is facing a public health war and that it will take on all out mobilization to slow the spread of the corona virus so far 148 people in france have died and there are more than 6600 infections and the burden on the country's health system is increasing on the frontline the caregivers university hospital when patients arrive was lung problems they're taken to a special unit but it's also important to keep the medical stuff healthy. priority is really to protect ourselves we use protective closing where we are with a patients. the emergency response center in the city has seen 5 times as

the political correspondent kate brady is on the story for us has more kate what kind of impact could this ban have on seasonal workers on harvests and on the agriculture industry in general in the country. well of course or this could have a huge impact and as we heard in the report many farmers are already voicing their concerns some 300000 seasonal workers come to germany every year so now the big question is who is going to replace those people out in the fields now one alternative that we've heard already from the agriculture minister is perhaps that some students for example or people that are that are currently out of work as a result of coronavirus and businesses and workplaces being closed that they could fill some of those roles now there has already been a portal created where people can share that interest and some 16000 people have already said that they would be interested in full fill in filling some of these roles that are usually taken by seasonal workers but of course $16000.00 people is very very small when that's only about 5 percent of the 300000 that usually nece

joining me now is dead i believe political correspondent kate brady kate which measures have been taken exactly. well as you say the measures that are being recommended around germany right now come from the top but actually germany is of course a federal system so what we're seeing actually is a very slow but steady trickle of the various measures across the country right now different states moving at different speeds but one of the biggest changes that we've seen in the last 24 hours or so is the number of schools that are expected to close as of next week many states saying that schools and universities will be closed until the end of the easter holidays and also if you just look a bit closer to home here in berlin as well now we have museums close here theaters have been closed all most for most of last week actually and that's expected to continue for the forseeable future so of course over the coming week we are expecting every part of daily life here in germany really to be affected and of course all of this comes off the back of those comments really that we've heard from the r

prudent government which last took on new debt back in 2030. 4 now with our political correspondent kate brady who is standing by at the german bundestag in berlin so kate walk us through why this vote is so important. well this is so important because effectively it allows germany to suspend its rather infamous debt brite policy and in doing so allows the government then to take on new debts in this case to the tune of some one $156000000000.00 euros now and usually under this debt break policy the government each year is allowed to take on new debt amounting to no more the no point 35 percent of economic output so this is a massive economic financial to be that's being broken here in germany today and they knew debt comes on top of another financial aid package of some $750000000000.00 euro writers and so that is basically to act as a cushion against the economic impact of coronavirus here in germany so that will go towards bailing out big businesses making sure that small business is to a supported the self employed as well and we'll also see other measures being implemented as well so the

she's on the turkish side of the border crossing to greece and we have our political correspondent kate brady with us here in our studio yulia i want to start with you because i was the last on the line we heard her say there that turkey is not the enemy but she also said that those who seek to test our unity will be disappointed i do think that will come across in turkey. well that remains to be seen i so far have not heard any official political reaction to tucky has created facts on the ground here and as you can see i'm in a small takesh a village along the banks all of the river everest that's the river that runs along the tukey greece border and you can see there are still people here behind me many of them families with small children they've set up a makeshift camp they tell me they have very tired because many of them have been here for the past 3 or 4 days they say they don't have enough food and water even though there is local aid they have no access to proper sanitation or toilets for for them it's been very tough on the people here although there are not too many here today say

political correspondent kate brady welcome kate so walk us through what these gigantic sums of a mean for germany. well phil basically it was a very significant move yesterday for germany the government rather the bundestag the parliament should i say voted effectively to suspend germany's debt break policy or block because a row has come to be known here in germany and effectively that means that the german government can now take on new debt and as we heard their own report that's to the tune of some 156000000000 euros now of course to put that into perspective that's about a 3rd almost a 3rd of the entire german budget for this year but this $156000000000.00 euros is actually part of a much bigger financial aid package which is also being agreed by the governments and that's amounts to some so 750000000000 euros in that as we heard there again in the report this is to support all kinds of large businesses small businesses self employed will see the welfare payments also relaxed and people for example who are struggling to pay rent right now and their bills will also be supported so

let's bring in our political correspondent kate brady who has been following the situation here in germany kate so restrictions are to remain in place at least until april 20th the 1st almost glorious days of spring have arrived so i suppose the question is are people listening to politicians and following the rules. well it certainly seemed in berlin at least today that the rays of sunshine descended on the city certainly got the better of some people i mean previous days that throughout this week we have had cooler weather a lot of people following those rules working from home wherever possible and trying to keep that distance that magic distances that were of 1.5 to 2 meters from other people but today they did seem to be many more people out on the streets and even here in an eastern neighborhood just around the corner from me police actually had to clear a group of 150 people who had gathered on an area of graphics now that of course is problematic people the police also trying to encourage people to stay home wherever possible still allowed to go out and exercise families are to all

i am joint in the studio by my colleague and political respondent kate brady. ard the president talking about responsibility. what did you make of what he had to say? kate: there were interesting elements in the speech. one thing that stood out was when he said this crime didn't happen by chance, that there was a back story to this of hate speech and exclusion and discrimimination against minoriy groups in germany. that was clearly criticism of this normalization of far-right rhetoric in germany in recent years, a swipe at the far-right afd party. it was interesting he stepped back from the comments he made after this attack as well saying rather symbolically this was an attack that hit us all. there was a lot of criticism particularly from the community in this town over the comments. although they understood what he meant, it was bad enough they also said while i was in the town it doesn't affect everyone. you don't know what it is like to be ostracized and to be proving your worth as a german. this was much at the center of his speech, the idea, issue in germ
