Crude oil prices below 15. 00 a barrel. And in other news canadas worst mass shooting a gunman disguised as a policeman killed 16 people before being shot dead himself. Starting in germany which is reopening some shops and allowing limited School Classes of europe ease the lockdowns that have brought their economies to a halt the number of new infections and delhi coronavirus deaths in germany continues to fall. What the Central Government is doing though is leaving it up to the leaders in each of the 16 states as to how much they want to reopen and when dominic came covering events for us from berlin this monday morning dominick what can we expect the 16 states to Different Levels i guess that they could go to. The lots of Different Levels they could go to come all but all of them in different ways trying to get their economies back running again if at all possible so as of today federally then all states can choose to allow certain shops certain stalls which have a certain surface area 800 square meters to be precise they can reopen that was a federal decision but each state is different so for example in the city state from which im reporting right now well is no wednesday will be the day that those sorts of stalls can reopen. To shop briefly and see here where i am right now alexanderplatz an iconic central area of galilee a large building there with a tram going in front of it right now that should reopen the company concerned is in financial difficulty but they cant open here elsewhere in germany that stores can open and the other thing to make to make clear here is another area of competence for the states is education and so in this states you have some schools reopening for the final year of the 2nd preschool for the people for the children who are taking important exams in other states they arent opening and then the other really pressing issue is what about mosques being worn in public certainly the government federal level has said well we strongly recommend people when asked and what theyve said is that in the shops which will reopen the hygiene standards must be very high people should be Wearing Masks that it isnt a federal level something mandatory and yet many. States are now choosing to impose something mandatory so for example the Prime Minister of the feria an ally of Angela Merkel from the Christian Social Union this morning said as of next week when everyone is going to shops and that sort of thing it must be mandatory to wear masks and what this shows you the difference between states is also in some ways emblematic of the disagreement about when to reopen how to reopen and Angela Merkel this morning said it doesnt help people for this this this dissension to be there about what sort of measures should be imposed on us because that might lead to a flare up a 2nd wave of corona in this country. With an update from berlin this one thank you dominic lets stay in europe the 2 worst affected countries that is spain and italy have recorded their lowest daily death tolls in about a month spains Top Health Official says its latest tally of 133. 00 is obviously tragic but it does show spain on the right path spains been subjected to some of europes toughest lockdown measures which will largely be extended until the month of may but the Prime Minister says children will be allowed outside in a week from now turkey to reporting more coronavirus cases than any country outside the European Union and the United States more than 86000. 00 infections are confirmed with just over 2000 deaths and so restrictions are being stepped up including travel.

Thats right and its the last thing that china wants they dont want these attacks and certainly they dont want an International Investigation Chinas Foreign Ministry spokesperson gunk shuang responded to those criticisms from strelley are saying that they are groundless that they disrespectful that china has been open and transparent this entire time and that its also been cooperating with International Agencies and trying to help other countries do with its outbreak of course its respond to comments from the Australian Foreign minister marie spain on sunday she said that questions about chinas transparency had reached a high point and then needs to be some sort of independent inquiry and that australia needs to be very focused on this but its not the 1st country to raise these kinds of questions and to call for an International Investigation the u. S. With some time now has been pointing fingers at beijing accusing beijing of a cover up in the outbreak of trying to silence people who are trying to blow the whistle in terms of when this outbreak 1st came out in early january even as early as late december and they were also repeatedly accused china of lying when it comes to its krone virus case numbers beijing hit back at the u. S. Saying that theyre gauging that washington is engaging into a child and he chinas Smear Campaign that washington is being a bully but other countries are increasingly charming in so strangely or recently also french president emanuel not quarrel or 3 days ago also said that it was naive to think that china had handled this well and that there are some questions about the information china has provided to the International Community and leaders also in the United Kingdom are also raising questions about this and indeed chinese tech giant hallway may be frozen out of the u. K. As the u. K. s 5 g. A development of the u. K. s 5 g. Networks because of these questions now china has been on the back foot about these accusations for some weeks now they have been desperately trying to boost that in. National image around covert 19 sending plane loads of aid and medical supplies even medical teams to other countries saying that theyre trying to lead the world in this in fighting this Global Pandemic but of course so far all these efforts indeed seem to be in vain. Catrina you with an update from beijing thank you russia is reporting a drop in new infections just over 4200 confirmed in the last 24 hours which is still a lot but thats compared to 6000 the previous day 405 people have died and president Vladimir Putin has told citizens the outbreak is quote under complete control in the us though the death toll is now well beyond the 40000 and the pressure is mounting about the reopening of the economy protesters in a number of states have heeded a call from President Donald Trump to demand a return to work others they just say its too soon of america because the u. S. Accounts for a 3rd of the worlds confirmed coronavirus cases and president dont trump held up swabs claiming no nation has tested more people he says more than 4000000 people have already been screened and thats now expanding to millions more is it. Does it remind you of something remind you of this. Once a swab once a qtip its actually different. Its very sophisticated actually but its a little bit like so this is the storm. And.

In other parts of the nation though small groups of protesters egged on by the president continue to call for an easing of restrictions the desire to kick start the economy is growing but problems persist republican governors who really have critical words for their president said this still facing major hurdles and i could probably double maybe even triple testing in a while burchill overnight if the f. D. A. Would prioritize. Companies that are putting a slightly different formula together for the extraction region kit and thats if the f. D. A. Would do that we have a shortage worldwide shortage of some of the materials that go into that so we really need help money from the Payment Protection Program designed to keep businesses afloat has now run out even as more than 20000000 people around have work is now for u. S. Lawmakers could meet as soon as wednesday to consider expanding the program but thats already running into political arguments despite the president s optimism that the u. S. Will be back in greater than ever the just tickle issues political infighting and a shortage of essential equipment persist at this point the daily briefings given by president dont trumpet become somewhat repetitive and increasingly political hes blame states governors for a shortage in testing talked about the thousands of ventilators being made and weighed in urging certain states to be liberated that death toll here is now by far the highest in the world and for many this crisis is far from over and gallacher aljazeera miami florida.
