A new round of primaries can he beat trump and for a left wing candidate Bernie Sanders is at the beginning of the at. Last art imitating life a new exhibition at londons tate modern explores the im delusional genius of and your home and how i are feeling shaped this art. Was. The arab. Im sunni so misconducts good to have you with us german chancellor Angela Merkel has warned that up to 70 percent of the german population is likely to contract the corona virus as germany reported its 3rd death from the disease merkel said the country must do everything it can to slow the viruses spread and to prevent the Health Care System from being over while shes calling on people to show solidarity with the elderly and those with underlying illness as ones who are most likely to be severely affected if they become infected americal said after its were also being made at the European Union level to contain the disease and the economic fallout it was the 1st time the chancellor had tackled the issue in public heres more of what she said. Whether or not a Football Game takes place whether without an audience without spectators if we can contribution to ensuring that people who are old people who are sick maybe are protected from this disease by ensuring that no spectators go to a Football Game as hard as it is for friends thats what we need to do and this is where the recommendations that the German Health minister has pronounced namely that events with over 1000 people should be cancelled but even below the 1000 mark there are things that we can do to contribute to slowing down the spread all right lets talk now about the outbreak here in germany is response we have Derek Williams from d. W. Science with us here in our studio and we have our chief Political Editor michelle or cooper also with us good to have you both michelle and lets start with you what were the main takeaways from chancellor merkels conference or 1st of all that she herself mapped out really the extent of this crisis and how serious the situation is calling on saw the dera t. Here and many also stressing that there should be a European Response she reported from a Conference Call that there had been between the e. U. Member states on how to respond some 25000000000 euros potentially on the table there and most striking b c was pretty much word by word echoing the expert advice shes receiving with the scientist sitting there in the press conference as well warning everyone that this crisis is only just beginning but also calling on the responsibility of local authorities and every individual there and michelle just to make clear she didnt announce any new measures. Well this is what she did say is that there would be a meeting with business leaders. This friday to put new measures in place but there was no new state of affairs both in terms of the recommendation by the Health Minister who get nickered scientists by recommending that not more than 1000 people should be in the room at any given event and calling on the responsibility of results or teams to decide whether a football match for instance should go ahead that pretty much i think is off the table nation wide here and many right now and also she stressed that this was a test for society and she hopes that it will pass that all right of those are the measures in place derek is this the right way to tackle the corona Virus Outbreak here in germany well i think the right way its probably the only way at this particular point i mean when youre looking at 60 to 70 percent of the population of benchley contracting this infection the only thing that you can do in this is this was repeated over and over in the press conference is to slow it down and you slow the main reason that you want to slow it down is because you want to give the Health System time to to absorb that number of people and. That was the 1st message that came across the 2nd message that actually that was repeated over and over again is germany is really going to try has to try to protect its most vulnerable that thats includes the elderly we know that the corona virus infects when it infects the elderly has a much higher mortality rate than it does with younger people and also people who are chronically ill slowing it down also gives researchers an opportunity to work on that vaccine that was also mentioned derrick as this outbreak spreads and people are increasingly worried what is the most important thing to keep in mind here on the south break well there are a couple of things that you cant really say too often and ive said them over and over again go to the w. H. O. Website and look at the 4 or 5 things that you can do personally yourself to help prevent the spread of the corona virus a very very sick. Well things that include washing your hands and and practicing proper coughing etiquette or sneezing etiquette some very very simple things and the other thing that is very important to you that you cant say too often is that 44 out of 5 peoples around 80 percent of the people that contract this virus are not going to end up hospitalized theyre going to have mild symptoms or theyre going to have maybe even be asymptomatic and so its important not to panic at this point its important to remember that if you get the virus its not the end of the world the chances are youre going to feel it as you would possibly like a flu or even just a bad cold and youre going to come through it and afterwards the good news is that youll then have immunity from it all right those are the important things to keep in mind there michel i just quickly coming back to you weve been talking about the outbreak in approach here in germany can you tell us what the chancellor said about whats being done on the european level well she said that so europe would want to act together then she got a specific question from an italian this was rather interesting asking what that solidarity could mean in concrete terms whether you would send doctors would send supplies and there spawns from going to america was that this indeed was a stress test for all Health Systems that and that germany would look into what it can responsibly do so its a very interesting moment in time here with so many european states not knowing it how big the force will be with which this virus will hit the own Health Systems but what is clear is that money will be on the table that there will be a lot of compensation for businesses across the European Union but there was still at the beginning of what is clearly a political learning curve for politicians and for all of us society our chief Political Editor michelle or kitchener and Eric Williams with us here in studio thank you both very much. Well as weve mentioned italy is the worst hit country in europe of the leader of the Northern Region iran milan has called for stricter measures to be imposed to halt the virus and that comes as the number of dead increases 631 and infections exceeded 10000 officials are calling for public transport in the north to be completely suspended italy is in the 2nd day of a nationwide lockdown.

Meanwhile theres trouble with the neighbors slovenia has closed its border to italy well austria has banned incoming journeys by train and plane moves criticized by french president the manual mccomb. Says we dont want things to get out of proportion thats why because it needs to work and because its only the beginning of this epidemic and if we take disproportionate measures theyll be unsustainable in the long run and thats counterproductive i sincerely believe that these are bad decision european coordination is much more efficient.
