Also coming up what happens if you cant even give something away for oil prices turned negative for the 1st time as the coronavirus causes demand for crude to collapse and it didnt take a virus to end israels political corral issus after 3 elections in less than a year israel is of bound to get a unity government. Im burnt off to our viewers on p. B. S. In the United States and all around the world welcome we begin tonight with a germany back in business but still at risk today stores and shops in germany reopened after what has been a 5 week coronavirus induced shutdown it is a 1st step in what will be a gradual return to economic normality and it comes in a world still dominated by the new normal the coronavirus the german chancellor issued a warning and a reminder today. Its shopping but its not as we knew it at this store in cologne customers are required to keep a safe distance from one another but will that happen when more people head out. Just in the metro the nights the easing of germanys Strict Lockdown just days ago thats now she says shes worried people may think that pandemic is no longer a problem. Miss india so we must proceed slowly step by step and with caution it would be a real shame if we were to suffer a relapse despite being able to avoid that and put our initial successes at risk your actions. So we must not be careless or be responsible not even for a moment the. Retailer patrick ins up oconee of the French Border is only allowing 15 people at a time into his shop hes had to improvise a plan to keep everyone safe. We have put a bill of the door each customer rings the bell and then we let them in if possible otherwise theyll have to wait for perhaps 10 to 15 minutes we put a table in a chair outside the customer can sit in the sauna and read a magazine while they wait. By the time i took that as a problem unlike in other states in star land shops with over 800 square meters of sale space can open if theyre divided into separate areas meaning Big Department stores can return to business to insects in the clock face masks are required in shops and on public transport the area and 3 india have followed suit will soon be mandatory there too the lack of a single set of rules for all of germany has a rotating. But i would like to see standard rules for retailers across the whole country and i would prefer the rules to be implemented immediately in the different states that. Germanys retailers are optimistic as they emerge from the lockdown as they wait for customers they hope a new business when. Tourists and infection. Were germanys stresses that Digital Solutions will be needed to prevent the spread of new infections in the coming months but germany its often lagged behind other European Countries when it comes to Digital Technology our chief Political Editor asked the German Health minister yen spahn will this be germanys a killies heel when it comes to responding to the pandemic. Well in this federal state of germany we have Different Levels the Community Level the federal state level and the National Level actually and what we see is yes we should have invested more in previous years in the digitization of. Actually makes these Different Levels better into acting in a situation like this that new cases that fall into a Community Within seconds actually known with with our National City you see that its not yet the case it takes one to 2 days till we have the information here in berlin and that is just the example but in the very important one to have a real picture of these outbreak that we want to change through digitization and to to actually support and to fund this investments that need to be taken to communities and we really want to speed up that chance in this crisis actually to speed up the digitization and Public Health system now theres a lot of debate about European Solidarity and also germany solidarity in this crisis germanys taking in patients from abroad how far will german solidarity go will that also include potentially sending personnel or equipment or even as far as corona bonds. Well in general for example able to do nates a couple of 100 self until agers spain italy france the u. K. Countries that we wanted to support that have us in the past and so we could. Have been helpful for them we have taken patients as you just mentioned from abroad from other countries we have an exchange i mean there were times when all of us help us and now we can give for example mosques some at least. Medical mosques. Or polish neighbor so we want to be of help as much as we can in this difficult case im very convinced you know at the very beginning once again in a crisis the European Union seem to be somehow disorganized and it took some time. Pull everything together but now what we see is all together we are stronger and im very confident actually that we are getting out of this stronger than before regarding the economy for example if we have picked a 500000000000 economic stimulus that is to help to send incentives for investment where it is needed and to help those countries that actually need to invest in the Health System as well and its helpful for us too by the way since we have obviously some economic trouble as well and in this we are together and that show the Health System as well as the Economic Situation many it could also tell europe apart that you say it will bring europe together. As i said at the very beginning there was a stressful time for europe and there is of course as soon as you do you cast concrete measures concrete packages theres always discussion which is quite normal because theyre different interests between the 27 Member States but as always when it is needed we come to a result and what is important for us this as an approach of germany and of many other countries we are in a European Solidarity and at the same time we dont want to have any incentives for the future that might lead to the wrong way so as to find the right balance between financial sound and European Solidarity and that is actually what we have reached so far so yes there are debates and some of them are stressful but and that is important in the end we are stronger together. And that was the German Health minister huge pond speaking with us earlier heres a brief roundup now of other coronavirus developments around the world of the global death toll has now exceeded 167000 thats according to Johns Hopkins university in the u. S. The number of viral related deaths in france has now surpassed 20000 spain well after the European Union to set up a massive 1. 5 trillion euro fund to help countries recover from the economic fallout and italy today reported its 1st drop in the number of active cases as well as the lowest daily death toll that the country have seen in the last week. In early march a number of European Union countries promised to take it at least 1600 Migrant Children from camps on greek islands including the. Books because they make it delayed implementation of the program well germany and luxembourg have flown out the 1st group of 70 unaccompanied minors childrens rights organizations say thats nowhere near enough because thousands of other youngsters many of whom desperately need help are being left behind. For many children in the marianna camp les bus this is their bathroom and their playground the camp currently houses 7000. 00 children because of coronavirus restrictions none of them are going to school desperately overcrowded morry has no law. And Many International aid workers have left their posts then they wonder whats a miracle were even alive but if the virus takes hold they will need to think about treating the ill all theyll have to think about is how they can bury the dead because thats all theyll be able to do. Plus a note saying hes from afghanistan hes been living here for 7 months together with his wife and 2 children they share 4 square metre in a container winter was bad he says but corona has made things much worse husain and his wife especially worried about 5 year old mama the boy who was born prematurely and suffers from epilepsy and fainting fits. What happens if the virus comes here even healthy humans cant find it and thousands have died around the world. So how can a frail little boy like muhammad possibly survive. They dont let more much out of their sight even for a moment the lack of space the noise the dirt its a terrible combination what the boy really needs a medicine and specialist treatments and a good hospital. But nothing like that exists in the camp. That was why 2 months ago the family got a special permit to leafless bus but then the authorities cancer the permit because of the color on a crisis both namely we want them to process things fast so that we can get out of here a soon as possible to go somewhere where our son can get proper treatment and is looked after really in all our thoughts and our only concern is with muhammad. The International MedicalOrganization Doctors Without Borders runs a provisional clinic next to the camp but are unable to treat chronic illnesses like moments. Its good they say that some children are being flown out by the ad its far from being good enough but we 1st used it its a positive development finally. The from thing is moving and filled in are being taken out but these numbers are so small that the question for me is not a question of capacity but its all an issue of political will. As the pandemic spreads relief organizations are now calling for the full evacuation of the camp but greece government took a different approach to it has tightened asylum law and later suspended the law governing the right to asylum for a month. They say the laws changed and why is it changed can anybody see this child needs treatment they see that this is not a good place to keep him so they can stay isnt this law not considering all these things that all of them as i d. Would say saying husseini says he now regrets ever taking his family on the dangerous journey to europe and many a year now believe that what the greek authorities said im doing is to use the shocking conditions in the morea camp as a deterrent the message stay away from hero. But how do they come to this to talk about that im joined now by gerald kelseys of migration specialist to help construct the e. U. Turkey deal meant to manage the influx of migrants into europe just cannot its good to have you back on the show in that report we saw overcrowded camps squalid conditions this was not supposed to happen according to the plan that you coauthored what has happened. When we have a very simple answer to this we have far too many people on these islands a can accommodate a few 1000 humanely now we have 39000 people 13000 of them and children 8000 children below the age of 12 and this is no place for keeping children especially since it is clear they will not be returned to turkey downhole returns at the moment no returns to the countries of origin and they are now a sign of procedures not like you and them well there are no return to right now where ever partly because of the pandemic has the pandemic made the plan that you coauthored no longer feasible but its its less than that you take the statement that read in march 2016 was told off by turkey in end of february this year it was based on the e. U. Getting support to refugees in turkey substantial 6000000000 before a year is now this money hasnt been spent yet but no new projects are being planned and why do we see the crisis on the islands of greece wanted 3000000 refugees in turkey where the Health System is also suffering tremendously these refugees are now also losing their jobs until now they received funding from the European Union 1700000 social support and that number is increasing as well so we have that regional problem that will it all goes wrong and if we dont act meet more people trying to cross winds knowing humane conditions for them were putting more pressure on our borders and all suffering misc us whats going on there with the money here has the European Union has paid the money that its promised turkey inst is turkey basically trying to extort more money out of the e. U. By using migrants as blackmail material. When techies the country of most refugees in the world and has been for many many years and the money that you gave turkey and promised is a very good investment it helps syrians go to school 680000 children it provides money for clinics in turkey all these one in 3000000 syrians have access to healthcare not but it was enough for us its all running out the question is can they agree on a new deal when the e. U. Continues to fund the integration of syrians greece cant move those around the islands to the mainland and reckon just like germany can help greece i think some of them. Mr sharon now sweeping your time in your insights tonight thank you i thank you. Well heres a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world that germanys Education Minister has told the w. News that the government plans to give interest free loans to students in need the loan program would be extended to International Students who are not from the European Union brazils president. Has joined crowds at a public rally in brasilia he criticized coronavirus walk down measures imposed by state governors brazil has the highest number of infections in latin america but continues to downplay the severity of the pandemic in australia 3 beaches in sydney are open again in a tentative step to ease coronavirus restrictions locals are allowed to exercise there but must respect physical distance to the citys most famous stretch of sand bondi beach remains closed. Finally israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu has agreed to form an emergency unity government with his political rival benny gantz this ins a year long political deadlock following 3 inconclusive elections the coronavirus emergency in israel has forced the 2 arch rivals to reach a deal over the weekend protests were held against netanyahu he faces trial on 3 charges of corruption he has denied any wrong doing. Are lets bring in our correspondent on ukraine which is almost word for us tonight in jerusalem good evening to you tanya its amazing isnt it after 3 elections now israel is about to get a new government did it take the coronavirus to get this movement. Well its quite unusual times as everywhere as you said 3 elections multiple attempts to form a government and almost a year and a hof it took them to get to this point its also unusual because this is and the each of us who are the whole across Member States but 1st and foremost this Governments National emergency government as its called should now a focus on dealing with the corona crisis at the same time of course they also wanted to avoid a force election and i think it took a rather stunning turnabout by benny guns to follow my bible you have to say off Benyamin Netanyahu dida of blue and white and he actually gave up on his election promise to never sit with a Prime Minister who faces corruption charges and at the same time benyon netanyahu got more and more support in polls again because he is the one dealing with the corona crisis he on the daily basis and the past couple of weeks. Beyond dealing with this pandemic what do we know about the contents of the agreement to build this unity government. Well basically this is a power sharing agreement which means that Prime Minister netanyahu has been acting Prime Minister will stay as Prime Minister for the next 18 months. Many guns will become his deputy he will also be defense minister. His centrist alliance to divide actually broke apart so you could be there only with a smaller faction but he will also get to hear ministries like the Justice Ministry the Foreign Ministry and other points of disagreement and that was one of the sticking points and it seems that Benyamin Netanyahu will get beat to how over to additional appointments and also in this agreement it says that from 1st of july there could be a potential for an extension of parts of the occupied west bank right to be used when you kramer on the story for us tonight in jerusalem tanya thank you. U. S. Oil prices have dropped below 0 for the 1st time in history thats right producers are now paying buyers to take it off their hands demand has collapsed thanks to the coronavirus but producers cant just turn off the pumps and thats left them with overflowing Storage Facilities and a product that is essentially worthless. The coronavirus pandemic has brought economies around the world to a halt along with a demand for oil after weeks of tumbling prices dropped below 0 for the 1st time produces literally cant give it away an agreement last week between leading Oil Producing nations to slash output clearly failed to address worries about a huge glut of oil. And this is quite a lot so if we consume it on. An economic. Its not coming out ahead of us that right now all were doing is even with the lack of travelling from down measures people are going to what its. Going to be flying anywhere and thats really causing a demand problem and since Storage Facilities have filled up oil is now practically worth nothing. Idealist cannot our financial correspondent in new york he ends quarter good afternoon to you yet so help us get our heads around this i mean were used to worrying about 100 dollars a barrel now were talking about negative oil prices how did we get here. Yet some believable whats going on in the industry but compare it for example whats happening in the dairy industry if you are a farmer and you produce too much milk you can basically just dump it on your field maybe to accentuate it a bit in the oil industry obviously that is not possible and all the mont fell so much more than you can count production short term and as i mentioned earlier also the Storage Facilities have reached their capacity levels and this us lets to this are really Unprecedented Development so at some point oil prices were minus 40 bucks here trading in new york while the United States saudi arabia in russia agreed to major production cuts just last week why wasnt that enough. Well thats the problem i mean yes they decided to cut production by roughly 9 and a half 1000000 barrels a day but the amount is dropping so much further so im standing here in front of a local i guess station in brooklyn oil prices on everetts year in the country at the moment are at a 1. 80 per gallon hardly anybody can take advantage out of it because nobody is moving what is working it kept drivers and so on and so forth they just dont need the amount of gas as they usually do and what about the fracking industry in the u. S. And these these negative prices are they an existential threat to us shale producers. Yes actually that is a big threat for this part of the u. S. Economy and overall we shouldnt forget and if i saw that correctly the gas and natural gas. Oil and Natural Gas Industry here in the United States roughly stand for about 8 percent off across the medics that mystic product and then a lot of those companies are in deep debt they already have been in deep that even before the coronavirus hit just so its not likely that we will see some bankruptcy cases maybe even quite a lot of those and then what happens was the banks because they gave some of the money what the banks are doing is they are already putting reserves at the site to be prepared if those credits actually go to 0 basically so its a its a big big Big Development that is also threatening even further of the Overall Economic growth here in the United States you know if you do the math to your gas a 1. 80 per gallon translates to about 40 euros since per leader i mean you can only dream of those prices here in europe what about in the u. S. Where are these low prices are they good news for consumers and businesses in general yes but as i mentioned 1st we have to reopen the economy before people can really take advantage of those. Prices but thats maybe the the little bright things all for people driving their car for heating oil and so on and so forth so that that becomes cheaper or quite a bit cheaper and secure future yes reminds me of when i was a University Student and its been that long since gas was that she. In new york yes thank you. Its a huge.
