They dont because one im in the house or has been following developments and joins me from our parliamentary studio you know germany is allowing a few businesses to reopen from today or just a russian behind it germany is allowing for sops that are no bigger than 800 square meters to reopen also Car Dealerships book shops and bike shops regardless of their size can reopen from today on roads and restaurants gyms etc must stay shut for now of course the shops that are reopening have to have some hygiene and social distancing measures in place the rationale behind easing these restrictions is of course that germany is the europes economic powerhouse and pressure has been growing on the government to at least a return to some form of new. And experts are expecting the german g. D. P. To shrink considerably that the virus will throw germany into a painful recession and so this is why the government has now announced these press depth not just Angela Merkel has shop to try to solve is the debate taking place in germany about easing the destruction zz intended to slow the spread of the Novel Coronavirus what did you see. According to reports this was a meeting telephone conference with her and some members leading members of her own party and according to reports she criticized the opening discussion all g. s that were happening in some federal state she says apparently that the focus has shifted too much on easing the restrictions and she expressed grave concerns that this debate will make the world create a situation where not enough people adhere to social distancing rules and that that could then ultimately reverse the progress that has been made here in germany in terms of how the virus is spreading and indeed it is a mixed picture when you look at germanys 16 federal states how theyre dealing with those restrictions how theyre dealing with the easing of it some states are talking about opening zoos again for visitors and others like a very a this morning it became the 1st state that actually made it mandatory to use face masks or at least some sort of protection to cover your mouth and nose when you go shopping and when you use public transport the very became the 1st west german state to make it mandatory you know what is the general mood in germany about how all of these 500. It was a poll a few weeks ago that suggested that the vast majority of germans are very happy with the way the German Government under special machall is dealing with a crisis she is a scientist by trade and people appreciate the fact that she can actually explain the reasoning behind the Decision Making because of course she can go into the nitty gritty details and that the germans feel like they have all the information they need and that they are doing their own conclusions you know thank you very much for that. Spain has the 2nd highest number of coronavirus fatalities in europe whats more than 21000 deaths but there are some encouraging signs the numbers of new infections and deaths have been declining a lot in the country to ease restrictions last week some construction on factory workers were allowed to return to their jobs with conditions correspondent. Slowly but surely construction is starting again in spades these were renovating the stadium used by soccer club c. V. The industry has been at a standstill since the end of march now its being fired up again but i just tricked conditions. Dont go to work if you have any symptoms always use a face mask infect your hands wash your clothes in a temperature of at least 60 degrees. Guidelines for employees returning to work this long still many critics say its not sufficient for the most part the measures are only recommendations and many spaniards house themselves with a really be implemented in their daily routine at work. We tried to contact a number of companies in seville but made little progress off the wreckage that explains why many said they were unable to comply with a protective measures required by the government and therefore did not want anyone filming in their company. Eventually we managed to speak to a Small Business owner another 8. Days he sent us this video he said the situation was tricky employees were trying to keep their distance only 2 people were allowed in the firms cars meaning that they had to make more journeys he said the health of his work was paramount but he said there were also serious challenges. Even though we had tried to buy protective gear there never have items in stock not at pharmacies orange wholesale dealers know where its especially difficult when it comes to simple face masks and protective shields weve been waiting 12 months for a shipment of those. Fortunately 40 cargo and hes already getting his 1st orders implementing protective measures is expensive some of the products cost 9. 00 times as much as they did before. And now we have the virus but as an enterprise you on your own even though the authorities want us to implement all the measures we just dont have the means to do it. We asked the government for comment on the difficulties Companies Face about the Health Ministry said it wasnt responsible and the Labor Ministry failed to respond to our request businesses with direct contacts to customers remain closed in spain a decision on their future is expected in the coming days thats when its thought there would be a broader discussion on the question of protective measures. And here is a quick around up of corn of on as developments around the world of the global death toll has dark side of 165000 according to Johns Hopkins university in the u. S. News agency is extending its Strict Lockdown conditions for another week and china says it has had 0 deaths for the 3rd day you know. And most countries accept that the corona virus originated in china but how was it transmitted to people some news organizations in the u. S. Are suggesting it could have started in a research lab in the city of and fox news closely watched by President Donald Trump is 1st among them china however says the virus spread in a food market and scientists agree. Chinese Authorities Say this is the source of a new coronavirus the food markets in wu han been unable to track down the 1st person to half a virus meaning its all regions are still unclear. Some American Media outlets and even v u. S. President himself have come up with their own theories they claim the virus a skate from a laboratory and by mistake. What is it a mistake they got out of control or was it. Its a big difference between those 2 in either event they should have let us go and we asked to go in very early and they didnt want to send i think there were embarrassed yes no evidence to support such claims but to lead cable show us officials had to raise concerns about safety issues in 2 years ago is director says his stuff take every precaution to be look at theres no way that the virus came from was that we have strict safety regulations in place concerning our research our lab is safe china has been accused of downplaying of the operate and of underreporting deaths 2 days ago. And raised the official death toll in the city by 50 percent beijing has hit the back of a theory is coming out of washington. They dont try to focus attention on the possible source of the virus every attentively knows that they are trying to cause confusion to distract and to shift responsibility. Thank you very much thats a clear dig at us president s dont know trump who is being criticized at home for his handling of the crisis relations between the u. S. And china was strained before break now even worse. Now to some of the other stories making news around the world in the u. S. West coast state of washington some 2 and a half 1000 protested against us to put in place by democratic governor jay inslee the rally in the state capital in libya defied the gatherings of 50 or more people. In canada a man wearing a Police Uniform has killed at least 16 people including a Police Officer in the Eastern Province of nova scotia the gunman went on a rampage shooting people in several locations hes now dead after pictures on busy highways. There is also spreading in south america colombia is one of a number of countries that have imposed restrictions to try to reduce rates of infection but as. Reports some people and businesses are failing to stick to the new rules with potentially lethal consequences. It looks like a scene from a different era a bustling market in the heart of bogota the capital like the rest of colombia is under strict quarantine. But here it almost seems like business as usual. Keeping the market running throughout the lockdown is a big job says manager freddie rojas. Some of the most important though. Weve installed 40 sinks and 55. 00 jail dispensers these are strategically located throughout the market and were also enforcing a minimum distance of one meter between people in order to avoid gatherings from our every day we sanitize the entire perimeter of the market we also disinfect the parking lot and all the vehicles that on his own but doesnt figure on in our part of the group each of the 1500. 00 people who enter biggest grocery retailer every day have their temperature taken and must wear a face mask at all times all of these measures may seem like more than enough but even during the pandemic old habits die hard something that could render all the hand washing and sanitizing useless. In reality not many people seem to care about the social distancing guidelines they wear their masks incorrectly or take them off to chat or have a snack. And while colombians are told to leave their homes only when absolutely necessary some shopkeepers are actually seeing more people now than before the restrictions came in. As a real see only the flow of people has definitely increased everybodys stuck at home trying to combine. Im seeing 12 and sometimes even 3 people from the same household. I asked my customers whether theyd like me to deliver their groceries to them at home know most of them tell me no this is the only way i can get out for a while. Not a moment that.
