Im burned off its good to have you with us we begin with the coronavirus and more borders being closed the European Union has started a 30 day ban on non the e. U. Citizens entering europe german chancellor Angela Merkel made the announcement after a series of video conferences with other e. U. Leaders today she says that europe will do whats necessary to protect the Publics Health and the publics. Thats if the law does feel and the 1st thing we agreed on was the commissions proposal regarding travel and lark restrictions will be placed on travel into the European Union from states not a not members of the European Free trade area or are not in the u. K. Nor him if the high north travel will be forbidden in all but the most exceptional circumstances this restriction will be valid for 30 days of guns. Germany will be implementing these changes with immediate effect went. Through fault that was the german chancellor there earlier today germanys Disease Control agency raised its coronavirus Risk Assessment to high and called for stricter measures to contain the virus germany now has almost 9300 confirmed cases the country is not yet under a general walk down but appeals for people to stay home and avoid unnecessary contact theyre having an effect theres a curious calm in the normally pulsating hearts of berlin on Tuesday Morning far fewer people than usual were out in about in the german capital foreign minister heiko must announce to another unprecedented measure a travel warning for the entire planet he said no unnecessary trips should be made in addition the government will provide 50000000 euros so german citizens currently abroad can come home. Also i think im the ministry of Foreign Affairs has agreed on a unique program with commercial airlines which will bring back german travelers from particularly affected areas within the next few days. On monday drastic steps were announced to beat the virus shutting many shops apart from essential businesses such as food stores and pharmacies. Civic life is shutting down schools the answers in museums are being closed nationwide as even childrens playgrounds a deserted many parents are having to stay at home to look after their families the government is offering them extra support thats just here for endings in what were seeing is that many families are wondering about money issues they want to know how to deal with a drop in income this is a huge concern its not a private matter it needs to be resolved and the state has to help itself that if youre interested. Politicians continue to search for the right responses to this rapidly evolving crisis so who exactly is eligible for these homecoming take a. Political correspondent with a crane she posed that question and more to germanys foreign minister who was on the gets on our shire to vince especially affects package tourists who are now in Foreign Countries and have been caught off guard and whose hotels are closing people who are having problems getting a plane back home we believe its tens of thousands of travelers the numbers are increasing by the hour as more and more get in touch with us thats why were making this major offer available weve provided 50000000 euros for it and will organize a large number of flights in the coming days to bring these people back to germany at the expense of the federal government is the mention of it or not the expense or to bring this in c. V. So do you know how long this will take. I think at target this will certainly take several days we started yesterday if all goes to plan and landing permits and flyover rights are granted i estimate that just for today 30. 00 to 40. 00 planes will set off for destinations around the world to bring back to wrists so it will very likely continue this way for several days we want to be able to offer everyone a solution within 24 hours we are asking for understanding and patience in the coming days will do Everything Possible to bring as many people who are abroad and have problems back to germany. To India Movement will be a mom to look to. Trance or to bring guns practice have actually speaking because there may be stranded tourists actually watching how can they get information on this. Im fascinated by it as these would be easiest through the Foreign Ministrys Crisis Center but the consulates in Foreign Countries are also ready and available with help and information. From informants who want well arrange this in the next few days will announce what planes are landing where and from where theyre taking off the information is available here at the Foreign Ministry on line at the Crisis Reaction center and people can also ask of the consulates wherever they happen to be before come on now for i know thats one last question at the same time you have announced a travel warning more or less for the entire world what are the consequences why. Reminded lloyd and thoughtless my guess is a moment we want to make it clear to people that its not responsible to fly abroad at the moment at all and of course we must start a major operation to get people back since many are stranded even now and things wont be Getting Better i dont know if we will still be able to perform such operations in 2 or 3 weeks and if more border is the sealed off if airports are shut downs thats why its not responsible to fly abroad at the moment because no one can say for sure how things would develop with in the days and weeks ahead when no one can say whether travelers can return as planned. Plant over that feeling has thank you very much foreign minister that was germanys foreign minister for their high costs france has joined neighboring italy and spain in ordering a complete lockdown to halt the spread of the coronavirus president.

In the capital paris an unusual quiet has taken hold reactions to the lockdown are mixed but i think its a bit through it. Should be able to walk on the streets if you want people should be through a cruise with their one. Badge was he she said i think its necessary its an epidemic thats spreading exponentially so is the contamination there are many asymptomatic carriers i could be one of them i dont know.

While the World Health Organization has praised china for its efforts to contain covert 19 but are countries here in europe or are they doing enough heres w w h o spokesman Christiane Linde my yeah this is a an Interesting Development now is just a few weeks to go. People were criticizing all over europe but there are strong measures and then china indeed. As joe was. Kind of praising but not on the strong measures mainly the strong. Working on testing and treating and tracing every patients as a combination of assets which are importantly its the. Pretense of approach of trying to limit any further options for source human spread and of course large gatherings and cafes and bars and restaurants are definitely at risk. Yes. And on the other hand dont forget to test feet and face every single patient thats important so in europe ultras have now as ve seen many cases rising up and in europe have seen the examples of china and they have shown good results in china hence many countries across europe and maybe across the world are looking at some options the world of sports has also been hit hard by this pandemic the french open tennis tournament has been shifted from may to september and european soccers governing body you asia has confirmed that the euro 2020 will be postponed until 2021 you wait for has been Holding Meetings with clubs and Member Associations today it hopes that postponing euro 2020 means domestic leagues will be able to play into may and june and complete their seasons minimizing the Financial Impact on clubs.

V. Deal the t. V. Money the sponsorship ticket sales as well you know there was one estimate they estimate between 680 and 750000000 euros if everything were to stop today so its important to give these teams an opportunity and then you know the Lower Division teams that are dependent on ticket sales could actually fold or collapse you know so its a pressing matter for all the football even the Europa League and Champions League and the u. A. E. For their look at it different formats possibly a final 4 format and you know to close out this but just to give an opportunity and rest for these future football tournaments to take place what about some of the other competitions that are due to take place i mean is everything being pushed back you know they were thinking of pushing back the european under 21 championship was scheduled next summer as well as the womens European Championships well the president said theyre thinking of pushing those back because they dont want the mens European Championship to cannibalize these tournaments they want the tournaments to maintain you know their integrity you know thats one thing and then feeds us president johnny if in tino came out and said one big tournament that starting that was scheduled to start next summer is the Club World Cup sponsored by fifa well the president came out to say that theyre going to push that back as well you know to give him the opportunity for the European Championship to take place that decision will be confirmed tomorrow during another series of calls between feeds and they also did one thing very positive they donated 10000000. 00 to the World Health Organization because you know i think its a collective front right now to combat this deadly virus Chris Aronson wise words there thank you very much ok.
