A lift or so because to protect ourselves locally in germany or in the america we have to. The former british Prime Minister gordon brown warns of the west and hoping to blame if they dont make charges efforts to help contain the pandemic in developing countries beating back. On its exactly a year since 5 badly damaged paris is not just down cathedral restoration work has been slow so couple of filmmakers are using Virtual Reality to a time thats how it looks how it looked in the future. Im still got a welcome to the Program German chancellor im going to macro has been holding talks with the countries regional leaders on finding a road map for accepting the countrys coronavirus locked up. Contract restrictions have been largely extended schools will remain closed until the 4th of may and the facemask will be recommended in shops and on public transport religious gatherings will also remain abandoned restaurants and cafes will stay shut major events including germanys the beloved football because off until the end of august some retailers have the shops up to 800. 00 square metres as well as head dresses and zoos and Public Libraries will be open and will be able to open as of monday. From d. W. Political correspondent simon young can tell us more welcome simon so what are you hearing that coming out of this racing. Here phil i mean youve listed measures those are the rumors the things that have been trickling out the softer name but in fact we dont know really what plan the German Government is going to recommend for easing the lockdown it seems clear that theyll want to do something or at least to announce a timetable but theres clearly argument about that really between the different states in germany and this meeting with the chance there this Video Conference with the chancellor in the leaders of the various states was originally set to go on for an hour and a half its now been more than 4 hours so its clear theres something to talk about but there are different views i think from the different states of exactly what the speed of easing of the restrictions should be masks has been a vexed question across the world where hearing thats the suggestion is that Wearing Masks on public transport. Public transport and shops why only a suggestion if its can if these mass are considered important. Well indeed thats very interesting isnt it just a recommendation to people of how they should behave i think there are a couple of reasons i mean we look to neighboring austria where there is a a rule. An injunction a requirement for people to wear mosques in shops in public transport in germany if its only going to be a recommendation maybe the reason for that is because people are aware that there may not be enough mosques available economics minister peter out said just the other day that germanys need for mosques of all kinds is in the billions and clearly its very difficult to get hold of these things just at this time so it may be of course also people have made the point that if you tell people wearing mosques will keep everybody safe that may arouse a full sense of security and some so there are still concerns about the measure if indeed that is part of the package and enforcement is an interesting one as well germany having a federal system will these measures be imposed across the country or will regions continue to impose their own rules. Well of course that is an objective and chancellor merkel has said that that is an objective to have a nationwide policy and a plan but for instance when you think things like control and have been stretching of the School System is in the control of the states and thats one of the big hot potatoes thats being discussed you know exactly how quickly shoot the schools be opened up some states would like to go quicker than others so there will i think be differences in different parts of the country the very a which is closer to italy which of course has been very hard hit in this crisis wants to be much more cautious in its approach and elsewhere people are saying no this is too painful for the economy and for all sectors of life and we need to ease the restrictions more quickly but were looking at live pictures we were looking at live pictures of a chance of us speaking that simon young so it looks like the press conference has become so well come back to that later in the program when either thank you. Has been International CondemnationDonald Trumps decision to freeze u. S. Funding of the World Health Organization president from accuses the u. N. Body of failing in its early response to the coronavirus pandemic u. N. Secretary general antonio terrace responded by saying that now is not the time to and support for the organization as its work is absolutely critical to the global effort to defeat confident 19 President Trump who has itself faced criticism for his handling of the pandemic at the w. H. O. Should have done a better job of investigating initial reports from china. The w. H. O. Failed in its basic duty to save lives those were the words of President Trumps United States freeze on funding for the u. N. Agency today im instructing my administration to halt. Funding of the World Health Organization while a review is conducted as the organizations leading sponsor the United States has a duty to insist on full accountability as well trump has repeatedly criticized the w. H. O. Throughout the pandemic this time claiming its biased towards china is responsible for the viruses rapid spread to other parts of the world you had the w. H. O. Done its job to get medical experts into china to objectively assess the situation on the ground and to call out chinas lack of transparency the outbreak could have been contained at its source with very little death trump says the roughly 400000000. 00 in annual donations will now be paused and decision drew a sharp rebuke from the German Foreign minister. Said in a tweet blaming does not help the virus knows no borders we should Work Together closely against kuwait 191 of the best investment is to strengthen the un especially the underfunded w. H. O. For example in the development and distribution of tests and vaccines bill gates too cold to move dangerous the us is the washed affected country in the world with more recorded cases and deaths than anywhere else. Trumps handling of the pandemic has also been widely criticized and his opponents say this latest ones meant amount to nothing more than a deflection tactic. Well former u. K. Prime minister gordon brown has been calling for a stronger Global Response to the pandemic and speaking today w. From 5 in scotland he gave this assessment of President Trumps decision the whole to us funding of the w. H. O. March the 26 dont want signed or communicate that he was present at the meeting of the g. 20 when he said he would strengthen the w. Richards mandate they would increase the funding for Disaster Response they would give more money so it could develop a new virus and it would help it deal with the problems facing the developing countries this is not only a logical step by the president its an act of self wrong because to protect ourselves locally in germany or in america we have to act globally and if this disease has a 2nd or 3rd round in africa or in the developing world and then comes back to the west then will be to blame for not helping those african countries or the w sure as in total supporting protect themselves when they have underdeveloped Health Systems and to solve social safety nets you cant adopt the social distancing in other measures that were adopting in the west. And heres a quick roundup of some other coronavirus developments around the world the number of confirmed infections as tops 2000000 with more than 128000 reported deaths the double agent is warning the world has not yet seen the peak of the outbreak Nursing Homes are increasingly becoming coronavirus hotspots in belgium more than half of all deaths have occurred in elderly homes and Italian Police are investigating scores of such fatalities retail giant amazon say it may hold of services in france after a Court Ordered it to only deliver essential products and improve work of protection and then denmark some students have marked the 1st day back at School Classes up to the 5th grade after it opened undergraduate lockdown rollback. Now africa has more than 16000 confirmed covered 19 cases in almost 900 deaths and those numbers are rising in all but 2 countries on the continent many states have taken steps to prevent the virus spreading such as closing borders of banning Mass Gatherings and imposing lockdowns these measures are often difficult to enforce especially when people live close together and next report looks at the situation in one community in kenya. Life goes on in africas biggest slum kibera in the kenyan capital nairobi for now at least. Like most of their compatriots people here have so far been spared the full force of the virus. On april the 15th just over 200 infections and 9 deaths were recorded in the entire country. But given developments elsewhere many are afraid of what is to come and more worryingly what measures they can take to prevent the worst. Some residents say locking down the population in a place like this is not an option as it could lead to starvation or worse. And they cant take the best especially with a belt with the top of a step and get rid of a bed outside to cut out the content of the people of the cottage in the south to take it and eat i can read and write and doing and that and that writing neighborhood that. You get to have that was bought by the director of the 508 you know take a quick break and then see. That risk is already real. This was the scene in canberra just a few days ago is thousands scramble to get food and after restrictions imposed because of the virus but it more difficult for poor people to go out to make a living. This points to the size of the challenge facing the government not just in kenya but in other less developed countries where people have turned to mouse densely Populated Areas if you dont comprehend that this isnt the city council trying to dictate which no measure even if you get to impose a road and they dont get stuck in a certain age it is not in the front so to me the most important thing is which in india to be. In kenya local charities are taking the initiative by providing sanitizer and encouraging citizens to wash their hands. The hope is that they can prevent the virus from spreading in the 1st place as the impact of an outbreak here would be devastating not just for this community but for the rest of the country. So if you do get infected with that corona virus how long might your expect to be sick well lets take a look if you get infected all day long youll probably be contagious from day 2 or 3 best last for about 2 weeks symptoms might start. Of later and might even be present after your no not contagious on average 14 percent of patients with symptoms after be admitted to hospital for up to 20 days and on average half of them and up in intensive care so one of the long term consequences for your health if you do survive covered 99. 00 you come out of intensive care and we asked a german lung specialist across the raba. This is wrong or the symptoms or the disease its called a. R. V. s people probably have seen this in earths acute respiratory distress syndrome it means there is chaos if you wanted the law is legion is of their vessels and all the members of the law theres a lot of inflammation going on we know from the literature of the era guess that a lot of people who have follow up problems with an ounce a scar they really dont want some sort of what we call for gross these things may last for quite a long time once you survive so the research is now addressing this already the long term consequences of the lone disease but a lot of other diseases the heart is one of the its just there but a lot of the effect so you would expect then once people survive and its intensive care and education theres a high chance for a lot of follow ups aquaria a lot of 4 obligations unfortunately and you can hear more of that in here in a covered special coming up and less than. 98 and 99 year old brazilian world war 2 veteran has beat the odds to become the countrys oldest person to recover from the disease he tested positive and went into hospital after developing pneumonia and received a rousing ovation when he was discharged 2 weeks later. At 99 years old armando arma leno. May have thought hed seen his last garden on. The world war 2 veteran has waged many grueling battles but none a satisfying as this thank him winning this battle was for me bigger than winning the war and. Entering hospital at the end of march veterans chances of survival were slim but dr c. It was his life in the military that helped and defeat the coronavirus in the end. We were very apprehensive waiting for a favorable sign and he surprisingly recovered. Ok i want to congratulate the medical team who helped me so much for looking out for my health theyre all great thanks there to shares this victory with the team of medics who treated him there triumph a moment of hope in a dark chapter. Now lets take a look at some other stories making news around the world a new zealands Prime Minister says she and other top officials will take a 20 percent pay cut for the next 6 months just into our does that it was a symbolic knowledge much of the struggles New Zealanders are facing a frontline staff will not be affected by. Police in germany have arrested for suspected members of the Islamic State militant Group Officials say the 4 hour believed to have been planning deadly attacks in the country including against the u. S. Installations are all off from the g. Stan. Well as the South Koreans are taking part in National Parliamentary elections the president took measures in place to deal with coronavirus concerns the vote is seen by some as a mid term referendum president j. M. Exit polls suggest that his party will win a majority. Or so that has been marking a year since the overthrow of dictator Omar Al Bashir that there were high hopes that the north east african nation would overcome 30 years of corruption. An economic decline but a year on those hopes are a long way from being fulfilled on top of economic stagnation the countrys also dealing with swarms of locusts eating crops on the coronavirus pandemic e. W. Abraham has been catching up with the french he made a jury in those heady days of revolution. It was a moment of relief and euphoria. 112019. Protesters in sudans capital celebrate the removal of dictator im going to share. The months they dress their lives on the streets had not been in vain it was there and then that i met mohammad who made a photographer in the middle of the revolution. My pictures are for the coming generations the experience of the people in my photos should not be forgotten. It was a time of violence authorities often attacked the protestors. The government has to bring justice to the people that we are alive because of them on the everything that has happened is because they sacrificed their lives and those now considered murders by many are not forgotten but their families have not yet seen prosecutions. I asked Prime Minister hun duc about this issue back in february. That was the Constitutional Committee which is guiding this transition. Thats a very clear. On the taking that was star bush Investigation Committee so let us not jump to conclusions. Come duck heads a new government that was sworn in in august. After a transitional deal was struck between civilians in the military. Here is in prison for corruption while his former ruling party has been dissolved. Sudanese officials have suggested they might even turn him over to the International Criminal court for trial over alleged war crimes committed in darfur yet sudans economy is still dire and attempts to improve things are hindered by the countrys continued presence on the usas list of state sponsors of terrorism. Many young people who protested and celebrated a year ago have moved abroad in search of a job mohammad now lives and works in the united arab emirates. And the rise of art but i wanted to stay in my country with my family that there were very little opportunity as this is a time when sudan especially in needs us. She might not be able to be at home to mark the anniversary but like millions of sudanese come to heady days of hope in april 21000. 00 will be etched in their memory for a lifetime. Abraham joins us now welcome so a year since obama was toppled whats the mood in sudan i think there is quite a bit of frustration for a number of reasons 1st the sudanese people cant go out and celebrate the 1st Year Anniversary of this you know very emotional day for them because of the coronavirus restrictions but there are also a lot of frustrations because of the Economic Situation you know as we mentioned in sudan the economy was already doing very badly and you know crisis after crisis has exacerbated these problems but there are. Also frustration with a number of issues related to the transition themselves that itself and i think chief among those is the issue of investigation into violence used by. Authorities alleged violence used by authorities against protesters during the period of the uprising thats contentious doodoo protesters expect to get justice and i mean this is really a government has signaled time and time again that it is working on it as the Prime Minister in the piece indicated there is a committee that has been established to look into this violence but this committee has really taken a lot of time theyve delayed their report by 3 months with no results and whats frustrating about this is that for a lot of protesters theres no doubt about it theyve seen you know Security Forces attacked attacked protesters specially on june 3rd when they broke up the protest camp but also its not just the authorities that are looking to these protests there have been multiple journalistic investigative works in the past year that have shown evidence that you know clear as day who was involved and also a lot of n. G. O. S have presented a lot of evidence so a lot of protesters are saying well these people have the evidence what are you doing why dont we have results what is the suspicion that is the suspicion the civilian side is sort of being outgunned as it were by the military or is it on the thames just to suppress the i mean this i mean we can speculate we can guess we have some pretty good clues as to why so one you know armed group called the Rapid Support forces which a lot of protesters really believe was you know involved in the violence against this is this is this was a regime falls yes yes yes yes the leader of the right that support forces is someone who is sitting on the Sovereign Council is someone who is still very much involved in the running of sudan makes public appearances so you know it begs the question of well if they really do take this seriously isnt there a conflict of interest in the people that are now you know. Of the regime but i will say that there is a theres also recognition among protesters that you know they look around and they see sadam kind of still at a relatively peaceful stage because civilians and military forces were able to find a compromise when you look at other parts of the middle east where this couldnt happen this couldnt happen in the military has gotten way too involved and then you know a lot of the accomplishments of these are president s were totally taken back just just on the idea of Holding People to account to weve weve heard this year that sudanese officials have said that they want to hand their former leader over to the i. C. C. The International Criminal court in the hague for alleged war crimes in darfur so where is that so well this announcement actually came in the context of the internal peace talks in dark for the Transitional Government is now holding with rebel rebels and are for and this was very very important to the dark for me is that this become this happens that im going to bashir does answer to his crimes in front of the i. C. C. What they didnt do is that they didnt specify if he was going to appear in the hague he was going to be extradited so to speak or if it would be an i. C. C. Complicite sorry Complaint Court in the region in sudan and. They basically just made that announcement they said he would appear and there was really a lot of follow up but a lot of people that ive spoken to say its very unlikely that hes going to be extradited because that would definitely raise a lot of eyebrows from his henchmen who are complicit in his crimes of course alleged crimes due to be reporter thank you. Let me talk about to our top story german chancellor Angela Merkels been holding the talks with the countrys regional leaders on finding a roadmap exiting the countrys coronavirus lockdowns the Political Correspondent simon young is with us what are you hearing from this meeting simon. So phil the the chancellor has sort of introduced a package of measures im pretty much there the the measures that we were talking about at the top of the program there be a recommendation for people to wear mosques these these cloth mosques a now public where they can and proper medical mosques of course will be can continue to be reserved for medical personnel there are also going to be some recommendations for opening up some businesses smaller Retail Businesses initially and then larger ones in jew course and also some kind of timetable the chancellor didnt state the details herself on reopening schools so well have to look at the detail of all of that but the chancellor said was looking at the development of the coronavirus and the response in germany she said weve got a partial success but a fragile state success she said theres not much room for maneuver and were going to have to live with this virus until a vaccine is found and we all want to get the economy back up and running and running again as soon as we can but its important that we dont push forward with those measures too far and too soon so in other words i think out of this discussion today those he say we should still be a bit cautious we should wait a little bit before we really really ease these restrictions they have won out against those who who would like to move ahead more quickly thank you for that science Political Correspondent simon young. If youre one of our top story here on the i day dubliners just been hearing the german chancellor im going to macro has announced the countries that social distancing restrictions will be extended until the 3rd of night she outlined the gradual easing of restrictions on Small Businesses from next week and the slow reopening of schools from the focus of night she also said the government will be recommending that wearing of masks in public about i get a makeover underlined of the countrys fight against the pandemic was not over and anything the easing of restrictions would be dependent on 100 new infections developed i covered that 19 special is next ill see you at the top of the.
