Europe has now become the epicenter of the pundit make the isnt given the German Government is ready to do everything that is required whats been said to put in this epidemic which affects all continents and does his all European Countries is the most Serious Health crisis that france has known for a century and uniforms the people i think. Is the most were only in the 1st phase of the battle against the virus being fought by all countries of the world he says that. I am from venus that the European Union can withstand this shock. Also coming over football to hold it all while the world of sports takes a time out says the coronavirus pandemic takes its toll. Combined some doesnt sound for you have to face up to our social responsibility together shown as beauties and as the chancellor says we have to face up to this extraordinary situation of things after this and or to step. Out of the program after a week so europe was a spectator as the breaker took hold in asia and now it finds itself at the heart of the crisis today the World Health Organization gave an update on the Global Pandemic ever rising toll and its geographic shift from the east to the west more than 132000 cases of corbett 19 have no been reported to w. H. O. From 123 countries and territories 5000 people have lost their lives a tragic milestone europe has now become the epicenter of the pandemic with more reported cases and is than the rest of the world combined apart from china more cases out of now being reported every day than were reported in china at the highest of its appeal to make. Well before that announcement from the World Health Organization if you commission the president on the line detail steps to keep the box economy afloat as the virus spreads and shutdowns take effect the pandemic would be tough she said but europe was up to the challenge. So the coronavirus and i make its testing as all institutions Governments Health systems economies but the coronavirus pandemic is most of all testing people. This is not only an unprecedented challenges for our Health Care Systems but also a major shock to our economies the shock is temporary that we must Work Together to ensure that it is as short and as limited as well to help us assess the situation in europe and in its biggest economy germany we have Political Correspondent hans brunt here with me and europe correspondent band really get 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 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 through 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 no the commission is promising we do everything. It is necessary to stem this corona of ours and to do ease the impact on the of the economy which is really 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 World Health Organization so bad really get us out on the line and can say what she likes to a 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 theyve issued and they do exactly what they want to do for example some countries are closing the borders some countries are locking down the 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 as a suit for example the Czech Republic today issued a Border Closure as of monday which is very unusual and also against european law ok so a lot of money being bandied about today. Including an announcement from from Angela Merkel which flies in the face of germanys famous famously tight fiscal controls yes indeed German Authorities finance minister the iconic snow economics minister and a chance to not call herself today reiterated that germany will do what ever it tag strip protect its companies to protect its sea colony apart from this 500000000000 euros that are 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 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 the 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 bad 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 oh its 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 one 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 are 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 manage 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 do 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. Bend in brussels a thank you so much a hunt round in the studio with me thank you across the atlantic u. S. President donald trump has now declared a National Emergency opening up more federal funding to combat the outbreak and he defended his decision this week to impose travel restrictions against flights from europe. As the World Health Organization confirms that a many of the things that what we said were 100 percent correct including our designation. Before them of europe like our earlier very aggressive actions with china this measure will save countless lives lead you leaders of widely condemned the u. S. Travel ban which takes effect on saturday the decision cause confusion and anger for many travelers here in europe but the w. Has been watching events unfold at berlins Main International airport. At berlins take aleppos on friday there was only one topic taking off coronavirus these passengers a waiting in line for the last direct flight to the u. S. From berlin for now u. S. President trump 1st though play the current virus but in a sudden escalation on wednesday announced new drastic measures to keep new cases from entering our shores we will be suspending all travel from europe to the United States for the next 30 days the new rules will go into effect friday at midnight u. S. Citizens are exempt from the ban but amid confusion and concern Many Americans have packed up their suitcases earlier than planned i just booked my flight at 2 pm yesterday and it was a really im a flooring stain student here and it was just a really quick process but we made it and yeah its it was very stressful at the time but its fine now i dont feel any greater risk here you know what i love about living in berlin is meeting all the people and being on the move on and being on the buses and seeing new faces every single day and when you think about it thats more of a risk and the way we live it in the states typically where we drive in cars and were much more isolated so i think itll be good to get home but i couldve stayed the longer we stay the more risk of being stranded in europe these are College Students you know theyre going to have some knock on effects for coursework and things like that so far so for us the decision was a good one to come home early. The days following trumps decision have seen stocks tank and tempers rice in the e. U. And china trying to stop the decision in the us is not one that was made with us the suggestion in the announcement of this decision that they have been failures in europe also suggests that the reason that played a role in this decision may not have been grounded in. Affects our bodies and child all but in berlin travel operators are trying to keep a cool head is an over reaction of the American Administration but we as a drum into operator was selling the markham product we need to find a solution for our client for the moment of the part of the airlines where we. Customer focused and have give the possibility to rebook to a later time of the year as the world grapples with coronavirus american passengers leaving berlin on friday opted for the emergency exit but when they landed back home Turbulent Times still lie ahead on both sides of the atlantic. Meanwhile a team of chinese doctors has arrived in italy to help the fight against corona virus theyve been at the forefront of the efforts in china and italys Health Authorities want to draw on their experience doctors brought tons of medical supplies with them including thousands of face masks corona virus was 1st detected in china which sold more than 80000 infections. Of the worst may well lie ahead for other Asian Countries a member of the philippines a u. N. Delegation in new york has tested positive sending the entire delegation into quarantine or thor it is in manila will begin implementing a travel ban and the quarantine of the capitals 12000000 people despite having fewer than 40 cases into nisha is ramping up its response beginning with a massive disinfection campaign. This is in the nieces biggest mosque it can accommodate more than 10000. 00 worshippers and its an icon for the nations believers but in times of the Novel Coronavirus its a threat to Public Health which is why a drive is under way to disinfect this and thousands of other mosques under the watchful eye of the indonesian president we have rolled up and removed all the carpets because they are a potential source of disease and we are spraying disinfectant that. Singapore is going a step further closing all mosques in the city state for at least 5 days. Disinfection crews are becoming a common sight from seoul to tokyo to money. The philippine capital is now facing a month long lockdown after president. Issued an order to suspend all Domestic Travel to and from the city itself shoppers worried about food supplies. They said there be a look down the whiskey a woman appeared to buy food to go hungry along with. The Philippine Government has thought to reassure citizens and cautioned against panic buying we would like to stress that the sport of goods. From the provinces and vice versa will remain subject to guidelines. Dont panic and dont stockpile. Travel and large gatherings thats the message being peddled across asia as the continent tries to slow the spread of the virus. Official numbers from the epicenter of the outbreak suggest its possible on friday china reported just 5 new cases of the coronavirus in were han the lowest daily tally in the city since january. These days the virus is spreading faster in other countries than asia and the world. So with your of the new covered 19 at the center how does the growth in the number of cases here compare with what we saw in asia the w asked dr stephan flashover who specializes in the Mathematical Modeling of infectious diseases. Well i think its quite comparable to what happened in china was that until relatively late stage of the early response. They were quite aware off the gravity of the situation. Once they realized the gravity they activists and successfully acted had actually managed to kind of. Deal with whole groups of often number of cases and cases where the last couple of weeks have been going down both china and south korea if you compare this to say today or even germany or the u. K. Well so we see in a number of cases and in italy the situation is actually quite a bit worse. Early on didnt think they had problem until the 1st couple test came up and only then they reacted 1st in germany and its in the u. K. Well we see a number of cases you know where its all over germany all over the u. K. We have cases but we probably underestimating very very likely underestimating the number of cases by 10 or even 100 fault. Hong kong was one of the 1st regions outside the chinese mainland to report coronavirus deaths back in february residents have been told to stay at home to avoid contact with others thats having an effect on the Large Community of Domestic Workers who are losing the little freedom that they had to leave their employers homes. Shaking off another loan. To many of the women to him this is there any opportunity to escape and dont want to come home as Domestic Workers are entitled to one day a week in groups of friends unknown together here every sunday in parks and green spaces but that its now changing early this year is home home got to grips with the corona Virus Outbreak the Labor Department recommended that Domestic Workers. Stay at home and many and now finding that time off is no longer there oh i mean i live there they see im really worried about the virus i dont want to get to hide my employer is worried too for what they think theyre lets stipulate that hes afraid i could become infected while hanging out with other helpers and then spread the virus to his family at home we all see it all go right up and down the aisle. Who really didnt want to appear on camera and said she could put her job at risk for speaking out but she like all Domestic Workers lives in her employers apartment and sleeps in the utility room number she says shes facing pressure to stay at home that i am going to have no use when i have to leave the house today that i hope they hold to what they are not my employees harm is so phone that if you found by me ill go through about you know a grandfather or grandmother kids everyone has their own way out into and i dont have my own room and the fight is so small i have the. Balls to many employees fears over the virus hitting extremely close to home some and chances he and his family is staying inside as much as possible and expect his domestic life to do the same he says the situation has left him feeling powerless. But in this situation he needs to call proof of everyone there because off the roll there are some its not compulsory for her to stay home we can do nothing we can just discuss but if she cant understand the situation but she still wants to go and we have no choice other employer is a taking a more hard line approach cindy adams has once a charity to support Domestic Workers she says shes dealing with the speeds between employers and staff almost a. Bring she says is left an already Vulnerable Community even more wrist somewhat is they staying at home is tantamount to working 7 days a week several she says have even been fined that theyre put in a situation where yes this is quite difficult how would you agree i dont want to lose my job i cannot agree but im depressed im getting depressed and the question i ask is do other members of the part of the household go out oh yes they do the husband goes to work the grandmother comes here every day of course the children are here but if you are the only ones not allowed to go out then something is wrong. In a statement to d. W. Home cause Labor Department stressed its a neagle to deny Domestic Work is one day off but to women like the son back in indonesia is reliant on her income contradicting employees can often feel like a risk not worth taking. These are images of the lighting of the olympic flame at the beginning of the torch relay on thursday the ceremony in greece went ahead as planned to demonstrate that all is well with you know coming summer games in tokyo even as the coronavirus pandemic shuts down International Sports for the everyone has been cancelled because of greeces containment measures despite this limbic organizers are insisting the games will go on is i received president thomas back. Very many measures are being taken by you as so many governments in the authorities around the world to contain the virus are no 19 there we were before the games. Are also making good use for these new time over these 19 weeks so are we are in support there we are fully committed to hiram are really encouraging the athletes are to go ahead there with their preparations well he said sure enough will you know take a closer look at how this pandemic in saving the world spoke to them they dont do sport is going to is here to talk assert that welcome and lets start with thomas about that organize is kidding themselves you know its 5050 i guess because theres so so many unknowns there are 19 weeks as you mention the out so before the games commence you know july 24 4th and i think experts are trying to be optimistic and hoping that the defection numbers decrease as the temperatures increase you know obviously we dont know you know theres but i can see this amount of terribly 3000000000 dollars from the spencers of our sponsors have already been invested in the games so i think theyre going to wait until the last possible moment to pull the plug you know as many others in the athletes at least hope they can compete well lets talk about the money in sport because they have been lympics the bay have got their fingers crossed but lots of sports around the world lots of lucrative leagues and games theyve been hitting the dust yeah you know the Sports Industry generates billions you know worldwide and you know just to put it in perspective you know its has not fair had not pretty much not affected as effect excuse me all of the professional leagues around the world you can look at cricket the worlds most lucrative league is in india that generates 11000000000. 00 for the indian. Government or the state of basically and. That is being postponed until mid april because its obviously on locked you cant really have the players come into the country in Spain Football League they projected if football were to be cancelled now theyd lose a projected 650000000 euros so you have across the ocean in the atlantic across the atlantic of the United States the n. B. A. Other major sports leagues youre talking about hundreds upon hundreds of millions of lost revenue and a lot of restructuring could be involved as well because you know the teams in organizations that are allowed ticket sales will be affected in hit you know the hardest because they dont have you know the money and the recognition to generate revenue other ways other than because theyre very dependent on gate receipts if you dont you know if you come a lot of people into your stadium youve got nothing so well lets talk about football then because all of these consolations or all of these the stoppages. Footballs going to have some major issues when it comes to shuttling these games because when they dont theyre not dropping them completely right well right now the top you know european all the leagues basically in europe are postponed until early april but you way for the governing body for football theyre going to meet next week and determine what the future of the Europa League and champions they will be and more importantly the big european championships starting this summer you know theyre going to be to determine will they push that to next year and thats where you have the problems in terms of scheduling because that would be a lot of back to back football fifa has their own tournaments thats scheduled to start next summer the Nations League the list goes on and on and the players do need their rest as well and it could actually overlap into when the other domestic leagues are scheduled to start as well so you know i think a lot of organizers are hoping that things can take place if people follow the guidelines and contain themselves you know i think the numbers at least. Im pretty sure thats what theyre theyre waiting to see if the numbers are reasonable to where they can justify the tournaments continuing chris. Thank you ok.
