Part of the scene while they are not allowed inside the stadium. Im sorry kelly welcome to the Program Countries across europe are beginning to relax lockdown measures amid warnings from experts and Health Authorities that it will be a slow and gradual process in germany schools are preparing to reopen next monday they closed in mid march leaving many families struggling to adjust to the challenge of home schooling while now teachers are facing a different challenge bringing lessons back to the classroom keeping students safe. This is the ass to linger in Elementary School not far from minds stuff here are getting ready for the childrens return to school. New physical distancing rules means a maximum of 12 pupils will be allowed in the classroom 2 2. Distancing begins before the children even enter the narrow hallways. Im going with the markings out in front of the school where the children will line up each child warmly then be allowed to enter the classroom individually. The new measures mean tabletops and door handles must be thoroughly disinfected daily something the school also has to organize along with making sure theres always enough soap and disinfection liquid available at the 1st start of a right but the schools principal is hoping for more help from the government. And the school needs an adequate supply of face masks we cant assume each child will always bring his or her own. One major challenge for the school staff is how the children will spend their breaks once theyre back. Why we. Thank you im happy that we can go back to school i cant wait to see my teacher and my friends again and some parents would prefer to continue homeschooling their children. Their business and. We all know that at least until the Summer Holidays classes will not be the same as before the coronavirus price says. Even so i dont know if its worth taking the risk for the small amount of learning that is possible under these circumstances. The principal has already been getting calls from worried parents showing understanding in consideration is crucial she reveals a killer moment i wouldnt require these children to return to school the alternative would be homeschooling but i would like the Education Ministry to supply clear guidelines on how we as teachers should deal with parents who feel this way 5 minutes president of. The school will also have to continue offering childcare services. The principal is concerned that more parents will be needing this service so they can go back to work newbies worried with an increase in the number of children needing care physical distancing will become all the more difficult. In lets get more on that now we are joined by the Political Correspondent Thomas Barrows the times tell us the closing schools it was a key measure for containing the outbreak here in germany so why are the schools now reopening. This was part of the German Government on regional governments that process that started to slowly and gradually ease some of those restrictions one of the 1st measures sorrow was for example to reopen certain shops shops for example of under 800 square meters the next step was for schools to prepare for the gradual reopening which you mentioned already will Begin Next Week and this is obviously a very big challenge that only for german schools we saw part of that in our report but also for authorities have to understand how to try and decide how to make sure their kids can go back to the classrooms were at the same time maintaining hygiene measures and social distancing measures throughout the countries where very difficult process but also one that or thought is believed will help parents and kids on society in general to have a stoat sense of things getting back to normal slowly but again a very difficult challenge overall but a lot of people they dont have that sense right now thomas in fact many parents are worrying about the risks of sending their children back to school during the pandemic is attendance mandatory. Attendance is mandatory in germany obviously under normal circumstances in this particular case there is a big debate as to whether a compulsory element should still be in force when on the other hand or thora to use both as a region or as what a federal they will have the duty to maintain as i mentioned all these hygiene measures all the social does the same measures as well to make sure that the rights of these children are protected at all times so it is a big debate and a big challenge and we also saw in our report that schools are actually asking both ortiz to issue clear guidelines or watch should be the process in this particular case. We know that in the meantime thomas here in germany millions of peoples they have actually been learning from home in the past weeks we actually went out we asked some of the parents in their children how that was working lets have a look now. Its challenging definitely. But. Given the situation i think its the best solution as a dismal month with what we can do to mrs and i its easier to work at school because the teacher explains everything and then we have to teach the Actual School curriculums. So i often feel totally overwhelmed through tons and tons of before were not trained to teach these things through but i will be good because its. Were enjoying our family time we have lots of time to play to read and see cattle given some follies and some courses was unlucky and when i do homework i often find it boring then i ask if i can take a break and i take a long break and then somehow i dont do any homework. That homework its boring you want to take a break in all seriousness though thomas i mean physical distancing in school is going to be a challenge you know aside from the challenge that has come across in the past months with with doing everything and virtually our schools now prepared for this new phase in education in coronavirus are schools schools already. Even before the corona crisis started challenges here in germany in particular there were many reports that there was a lack of infrastructure for example the schools were having trouble when it came to digitalize ation so you have to watch these challenges to the ones that are coming now that we also saw in our report that idea that they have to guarantee all those hygiene and social distancing measures and thats why when the measures were announced by the federal on regional governments they also gave schools time to prepare and they are now instructing reopening would be gradual keyword a gradual is particularly important in this context because it gives schools the necessary time to restock and reopen accordingly its important to stress that there is already a conceptual framework here how this should happen how this should take place or for example giving priority to students who face important exams or who are about to leave schools but there are still doubts among many schools as to watch and how this process should go on in the next few weeks and in the next few months Thomas Sparrow in berlin thank you thomas and heres a round up of some of the latest developments regarding the pandemic germany has extended a travel warning for all nonessential trips abroad until at least june 14th beijings municipal government says that it will lower its koeppen 1000 Emergency Response level from thursday allowing some people to enter the capital from low risk parts of the country without quarantine President Trump has signed an executive order to keep Meat Processing plants open amid a growing concern over the food supply union say that that puts workers lives at risk and bosnia has reported that sharpest daily rise in covert 1000. 00 cases it comes a few days after parts of the country eased lock down measures.

New york is in crisis helping new york. And then pick up the camp and then go to the next place as this rose across the country. A prediction that turned out to be true the virus spread rapidly from coast to coast by early april it was impossible to deny the seriousness of the situation. Were in a very critical phase of our war against the coronavirus the sacrifices we make over the next 4 weeks will have countless. American lives saved were going to save a lot of american lives in were in control of our own fate very much. Despite the sacrifices within a week the United States let the world in clay the 1000 deaths it still tops the grim list.
