We have been struck on the curve. Is actually increasing. Also coming up it is one of the biggest disruptions from the coronavirus pandemic so far the summer Olympic Games in tokyo have been postponed into 2021 but it did good on its disappointing fishel but when you think about the health of the athlete as well as that of the spectator as i understand. It to our viewers on p. B. S. In the United States and all around the world welcome we begin the day with the 2 dramatically different phases of a pandemic in the u. S. New disturbing figures coming from the state of new york the governor today said that the number of new cases is skyrocketing new infections doubling in just the last 3 days now that means the peak of the pandemic could come sooner. And hospitals could face even more people who are in need of medical treatment now contrast the u. S. To charting a 2 months ago all the world watched in astonishment have the Chinese Government announced unprecedented walk downs in who province around the city of where the corona Virus Outbreak began overnight 60000000 people were told to stay home or the government said today it will now begin lifting those restrictions. Preparing to get people on the move again. Starting at midnight on wednesday the largest lockdown in Human History will end. To travel in and out of who bay youll need an electronic tracking code linked to your Health Status green means good to go. But people in the city of hun or the outbreak began will have to wait 2 weeks longer to leave the province still for some restrictions are already lifting. My company got back to work a few days ago everybodys been issued a health code after having their physical condition checked and their temperature taken but i got this pass and im on my way home after a night shift. Once at the center of chinas coded 1000 epidemic who bay has seen a dramatic plunge in new cases officials have reported just one locally transmitted infection in the past 5 days a tremendous u. Turn. This was on at the height of the outbreak crowded hospitals exhausted medical workers who has since counted over 67000 confirmed infections and 3000 deaths. The w. H. O. Says the 2 month lockdown may have averted hundreds of thousands of cases. But it may also have caused a higher mortality rate in the province as other critical illnesses went untreated. Theres hope and you bay that the worst is over but with the corona virus on the loose in china and around the world risk from imported into action still looms large. Where despite the decision to ease travel restrictions in china there are fears that the corona virus continues to spread unnoticed and the Chinese Government has made it clear if new infections reappear so will the walk down but beijing also wants to restart its economy as soon as possible and that is perhaps the one point where china and the trumpet ministrations see eye to eye in this pandemic u. S. President wants an economic resurrection as well but does not want to wait 2 months despite the warnings from doctors even on his own Coronavirus Task force trump is pushing for a return to normal for the economy in a matter of weeks id love to have it open by easter ok i would allow i have it up and i will i will tell you that right now i would love to have that at such an important day for other reasons but ill make it an important day for this too i would love to have the country opened up and just raring to go by easter all right for more im joined now by correspondent james royal in new york city good evening to you james you are in the viral hot spot in the u. S. At the moment the governor of new york warning that hospitals will be hit even harder and sooner than expected what youve got the u. S. President who says he wants the country to go back in business i mean do you feel like you were in a big blind spot of the u. S. President being in new york. Well the governor of new york state. And he thinks that the city and the state has been left in the president s lines here we are the wealthiest country in the world in many ways one of the most economists on the planet and yet in the city with wall street financial. Were not ready for the pandemic thats approaching there on and off possible all spittle but there arent enough then to later and he described astronomical numbers numbers that have increasing doubling every 3 days and it appears james that the virus arrived in new york city earlier than 1st thought to me when you consider that with news that china is now easing restrictions where the outbreak began he what kind of grade are new yorkers giving the federal government in its handling of this pandemic. And i think on that one i think you could probably say that its too early to cool i mean every few minutes youre going to hear an ambulance going down that cannot stop and you either side of me but the death toll in that date so far has been 21026000 can. And so you know the real impact of coronavirus its yet to calm as weve seen out the country. And quietly and then bam hits you like a sledgehammer well i mean he has a sledgehammer not hit and i guess its not going to be until weve seen the hospital ward from the doctors and seen the actual death toll from the crisis the new yorkers are actually going to make a final judgment that would be terrible to have those images the images that what weve seen in italy and spain Governor Andrew Cuomo he has emerged in just the past few weeks as a National Leader not just as a leader for new york state with his Daily Press Conferences i mean the whole world has been watching those do new yorkers do you think they trust him more now than they trust the u. S. President. Thats a good question andrew cuomo hasnt necessarily always been the most loved of political figures hes not exactly a retail politician. But its quite its in many ways its playing to his strengths hes been decisive its one of those characteristics he takes charge of situations he listens to the act and he sticks to the facts and in many ways thats what you want you want this kind of fact in the evidence led approach to it when it comes to a compound in the federal government pew research that they recently basically across america people trust their local officials and they trust their state officials in the sentence that the Disease Control more than they trust the white house the more than they trust the federal government on the other hand hes a new yorker he comes in the 3rd he never been wholly loud highly respected and he isnt widely seen as a safe pair of hands but its quite interesting just have to ask you there in new york what are you seeing outside of we weve heard from the governor that people have not been respecting social distancing or you know staying at home people have been out in central park for example what are you seeing have people begun you know falling into line and staying staying at home. Well i mean its a democracy and the approach thats been taken by most democracies is that youre not people you tell them how to behave with fact full of them i would say the flying knowledge that has been followed quite extensively most people have been cooped up and there are times when ive had to go out on jobs ive been taking the subway and its been largely empty im sure you can go to central park and youll see some people say you can go to times square youll be from people that there are people down in the street below me right now Walking Around some people just to conduct that business i would say the plan large people are abided by although it isnt being rigidly enforced enough to do what is called bending the curve of this why didnt the right direction correspondent james rhyno joining us from new york city tonight james thank you very much stay safe and stay healthy. Well it was only a matter of time 4 weeks or 48 hours in the end it took japan of the International Olympic committee 2 days not a month to agree to postpone the summer games in tokyo today the japanese Prime Minister announced that the games will be pushed back into 2021 the decision came after weeks of pressure from athletes to postpone colliding with weeks of resistance by the games organizers in japan. The Tokyo Olympics are off the decision came suddenly but was not unexpected after weeks of debate and speculation in order to safeguard the health of the athletes and everybody involved in the Olympic Games that we have to postpone the olympic and Paralympic Games or talk you were 2022 the year or 2021 with the aim to have feet there are the latest in summer time 21. 00 its a decision that was not taken lightly or willingly but pressure had been mounting from athletes and sports federations its its a power that i will give the be the limits this year but yet to understand the situation understand that things are a little bigger than warden and we have a next year. So many athletes are now. Im not been able to. Prepare you know they havent been able to do their qualification. On the station. And a lot of its also dont have access to training venues. And its not fair if everyone. Compared the best way this is the 1st time the Olympic Games have been postponed and its a mammoth logistical task contracts need to be renegotiated tickets for a sold out venue is transferred overturned and post game sales of apartments in the Olympic Village will have to be put on hold no new date has been set for the Tokyo Olympics. Yeah it is a big disruption for more on todays announcement im joined now by carla borger she is one of germanys Award Winning Beach Volleyball players she competed for team germany at the 2016 summer olympics in Rio De Janeiro call her welcome to the day youve been training youve been preparing to anything good evening youve been preparing to compete in the olympics this summer in tokyo and now we know today those games are not going to happen what did you think when you heard the news today. Yeah i was surprised anymore because a lot of days you figured out already more and more of the pressure by us getting higher and higher away at the end i wanted to get that in the morning still its a bummer but i think i guess like i thought actually it hurts a lot but still theyre on it right now more in one thing and the well going on court you say its a bummer it hurts a lot do you agree with the decision do you think it was the right thing to do. Its totally the right decision its really taking responsibility i think and in general it was a. Its to do it over to you like it has been already they should have made this decision already earlier definitely and this will give you an extra year maybe to practice for the olympics i mean in your sport Beach Volleyball is that an automatic advantage. I have no idea right now we cannot practice at home the facilities are close and its probably more than a year now to the Olympic Games so its didnt use came out this morning so fast its like we have to plan everything new and. We have no idea how it works because until now there are no tournaments or at least like maybe in july or august so probably the season is already over before it began so we have to make a new plan what are all practices like and whats going to happen in the next 2 weeks months or years so its a really long period to go on have you have you talked to your teammates and heard what they think about this decision and they told you he added totally on the same page with us athletes i mean thats the only right decision to to to make to postpone the olympics. We know that the games are expected to take place in tokyo at some point in the year 2021 the games will certainly be one of the most special Olympic Games in all of history because of what has happened are you looking forward to participating in 2021. Definitely we played last year already pretournament of the Olympic Games in tokyo so it was great to be the japan thats a really beautiful country and the people are really nice so that we both like my partner julia and me we are really looking forward even if its still within the year but we are happy if we can compete there and anyway its a little thick so its always the dream of everybody and before we let you go karl let me just ask you were you were you surprised that at 1st there was this reluctance in japan to postpone the games i mean it took it took a lot of while being in pressure to get this decision today. Yeah i mean on one hand i dont want to play playing them so much i mean its a situation all of us which is like really difficult and you know one had this before so i think this complex decision needs a lot of time but still to release now the pressure off us athletes who kind of how does the type who cannot practice right now in the home cities i think its just a matter like the right totally right decision they made the same they could open it opened actually dorce what teachers like they would in no way of any a lympics going to happen in 2020 ok well yeah you know when one door closes another one opens i guess carla borg a member of team germanys beach ball team carla thank you for your time tonight good luck with the extra time to practice and you as well in tokyo thank you.
