On the frontline of europes coronavirus special italys Health System is under pressure with more than 15000 current cases patients are having to rely on makeshift medical services. And.

Prime minister Pedro Sanchez declared a 2 week state of emergency a decision that will allow him to mobilize all resources to fight the outbreak including the military. Old restaurants and shops in the capital are being forced to close with only supermarkets and pharmacies to remain open.

Of this movie wherever possible social contact should be avoided of course the country must still be able to function properly and the core areas of the economy must continue to function. Misson but of union. The head of the robert carr institute of Public Health pointed out that the speed at which the virus spreads would vary a lot throughout germany he said individual states should make decisions based on regional data i think it has reached 6 of us rushed on i think the most important thing to understand about this epidemic spreading through the country is that it doesnt just start in one place and advance evenly in one direction but as we know very well from flew over the decades particular regions are more highly affected. By. A computer simulation created by the robert cock institute shows what to expect comparisons reveal how the rate of infection varies from region to region. The Central Council of muslims in germany called for friday prayers to be canceled though its not clear how many mosques complies german rail has issued a statement saying theyll be no alterations to travel schedules for the time being. Well to help us assess the situation in europe and in its biggest economy germany we have Political Correspondent hans brandt here with me and europe correspondent banned in brussels lets start with you bad lots of money being talked about today the problem with the european body has always been how people actually get their hands on it so how will governments and companies and people eventually get their hands on all these trillions that the line promised. By the Commission President promised that this really go very very slippery in within 24 hours the loans that should be given out to companies and also to single persons theres a huge fund know of 37000000000 euros available and the 1st money is already dispersed to a company in denmark the companies have to apply with the National Authorities and then the promise is this time it will be very fast we have seen these problems also during the financial crisis in 20082900 took a while but now the commission is promising we do everything that is necessary to stem this coronavirus and to to ease the impact on the of the economy which is really huge right now ok stay with us about were going to hear more from the line who had a warning today for Member States she thought in danger of overreacting weve seen travel bans and controls being put in place in a number of Member States. Certain controls may be justified but general travel bans im not seen as being the most effective by the bolt Health Organisation so bent on the line and can say what she likes to say you governments have to listen. But thats the problem the commission has no competence is when it comes to health care governments can do as they do exactly what they want to do for example some countries are closing the borders some countries are locking down people other countries do Something Else so theres a lack of cooperation and communication and the commission is not trying to avoid it and to keep the countries in line but in the end everybody everybody can do is a suit for example the Czech Republic today issued a Border Closure of monday which is very unusual and also against european law ok so. Lots of money being bandied about today. Including an announcement from from uncle a medical which flies in the face of germanys famous famously tight fiscal controls yes indeed German Authorities finance minister conex economics minister and chancellor nakul herself today reiterated that germany will do what ever it tag strip protect its its companies to protect its economy apart from the 500000000000 euro to be made available in support for your German Companies there is also the implication that you know this balanced budget that used to be a kind of article of faith for germany may well not be stuck to anymore in other words germany may well go into debt in order to raise more money in order to protect its economy in other words whatever is necessary even a debt is conceivable in the next weeks and months its interestingly this phrase is being used by both leaders in germany and in london when the protege of the other lets talk about leadership in this crisis well ill ask you this question in a 2nd bet well start with you the. Under medical safe pair of hands in europe if she is. Is she being viewed as a good leader in this crisis indeed is even being viewed as a crisis by germans certainly seen as a crisis yes of course we have reached 3000 infected people confirmed today that number has increased by more than 500 since yesterday so germany is well into crisis mode with all the places being closed down with all the schools being closed down and so on and what has to say im going to marco waited quite a while as is her want to before she actually appeared before she actually took this into her hands before she took on this leadership position and shes very rational about it shes not very emotional about it so shes not somebody that gives people a lot of comfort simply by say by by being warmed by a by her personal warmth but theres a certainty a scientific certainty one might almost say in the way she handles this and so she has taken the reins now and i think people do feel that they are in good hands with im going to now call and said to the same question to you bedri get on the lion is Angela Merkels a process this is her 1st big test as Commission President. Yes thats true thats a huge challenge for her big test shes only 100 days in office and has to menage this crisis as a trained doctor she understands how severe this corona crisis can get she says its only at the beginning the worst is still to come but shes also trying to to to show some confidence that this is manageable and she says its not a test only for her its a test for all of us all europeans.
