certain infections with their existing capacities let's get the latest political correspondent simon young. welcome simon what else did the chancellor have to say today. well the chancellor i think was making an appeal for solidarity and common sense she was saying that germany was well placed to deal with this with this corona virus and she said the economy is in good shape that's good because it means i can give assistance to businesses but they can also take the emergency measures that are needed for instance making sure that hospitals have all the protective equipment that the medical personnel need and that kind of thing she was also giving practical tips a ng you know when she's dealing with photography she takes a step back make sure she's observing that meter to a meter and a half distance that has been recommended by the expert she was also saying sometimes a friendly smile is a good replacement for a handshake in these times so she was sending out that message that germany is going to get through this and is ready to deal with the problem there has been talk of a europe wide resp

and for more on the story we can bring in our political correspondent simon young hi simon so germany wants a coordinated european solution here but what that look like. well that's right as you say germany said it will take up to 1500 children from these great camps in particular 6 children or unaccompanied ones under 14 years of age but the problem ase to find other european nations who are willing to join in that the german government says that france it believes will join in and we hear today the european commission in brussels saying luxembourg finland and portugal are also on board so there is some momentum behind this plan now but germany is talking about getting a coalition of the willing behind this humanitarian effort really to take the most needy and take them out of the appalling conditions that many of them face in these camps but they're not doing it by means of a sort of coordinated european action is more or less going round persuading each individual government to take a share of the responsibility and that shows how hard it is to get a unified response on the refugee

meeting between the chancellor and the state premiers let's talk now with our political correspondent simon young good evening to you saw events we just heard merkel promising to do whatever it takes to save guard german companies we know that the german state has a budget surplus so how far is the government going to go to keep its word. yeah bring that to really isn't clear yet the chancellor said in that press conference that she believes that this crisis will leave a deep market she put it on the german economy but in recent days and weeks she has stressed the fact that germany's economy of rule is in pretty good shape so it should be able to respond we've already heard from the german parliament which has said that it will back you know packages and bailouts amounting to billions of euros but what was announced a saving was really just another commitment to help businesses fritz's with those measures to help companies that need to reduce operations and have short working hours for their workers and so on so that could be important but they say the finance minister the economy minister are go

german chancellor angela merkel speaking earlier today i want to pull in our political correspondent simon young he's on the story for us tonight here in berlin good evening to you so i mean so the sobering statistic came today from the chancellor 70 percent of germans will probably contract this virus run us through some of the chancellor's other points today. you know but as you heard there the chancellor really recognizing that the coronavirus is here to stay the government is directing its efforts to responding to medical need and to delaying the spread and the chancellor said that germany is well placed to do that that they'll do whatever it takes whatever is necessary and you know measures are are in hand she was offered some practical tips saying sometimes it's better just to small and look people in the eye for a bit longer rather than shake their hands and she was also saying that she understands if people feel they need to buy a few extra provisions but she wasn't encouraging panic buying that we've seen in some places so it's all about response and an appropriate response a measure of

political correspondent simon young a welcome simon germany has been calling for a european solution to various migrants crises and problems since the 25th day and not much hope of happening just now. we'll know them but the efforts to find that common solution go on and germany's announced this plan is humanitarian effort to take in up to 1500 especially needy kids under 14 and the sick and also those who are on the company aid and the challenge now is to find other european countries willing to do the same the government is saying that it expects fronts to join in the effort and there is some expectation other countries will come into luxembourg has already been mentioned but he's talking about a coalition of the willing i think the point is at the moment it's very difficult to get people to join that and certainly the german proposal doesn't amount to a sort of binding arrangement within europe so within europe it's still very difficult to get a unified response to the refugee question so when will these children arrive in germany. well that's hard to say at the moment that this p
