Years. Loads of hopes of kicking off germanys blunders League Matches against 3 people test positive for corona virus a cologne and the place into a 14 day quarantine. South africans get some exercise and celebrate being allowed to leave their homes as the government accuses one of the worlds strictest lockdowns. Im still get welcome to the Program German chancellor Angela Merkel and french president Emmanuel Mccraw throw nasser port behind a huge efforts to raise billions of euros to Fund Research into a Coronavirus Vaccine they use convening a donors conference next week in an effort to raise 7 and a half 1000000000 Euros European Commission president should have found Alliance Says the goal of the fund is to develop a vaccine treat and tests and treatments and tests available to all at an affordable price. As scientists around the world race to develop a vaccine the e. U. East. Trying to rally Global Support in the fight against corona virus in an interview with the table you Commission President ursula von the lion called for a cool ordinated approach have to build up capacities to manufacture it zillions of those and then we have to make sure that we can deploy to every corner in the world in a fair and affordable price and thats what exactly were working on for that we need money and we need to go global corporation. The pandemic is also putting a strain on state finances countries like italy and spain want support in the shape of socalled corona bones effectively shared debt between eurozone countries but illustrating the blocks north south divide the plan for solidarity has met opposition from germany and the netherlands. In the whole instrument we will have certainly the right balance of loans and grants this is the process where we have to negotiate with all 27 Member States of course and i think this is democracy we have to speak about the detailing out the tailor made programs but all of our do agree that it is important to support the countries that are hardest hit by the virus and the economic consequences. The majority of e. U. Countries have declared states of emergency in a bid to contain the virus but the lion had a warning for any government seeking to abuse those powers. Were looking very closely to how these measures are implemented when it comes to the European Values indeed the freedom of speech the freedom of media for example so we stand ready to intervene immediately if this is not appropriate and time limited. For now the priority remains saving lives and stopping the spread of vaccine the key to some kind of return to normality. And you can see the full interview with her sort of on the line on our website thats the w. Dot com hundreds of people in berlin have defied a ban on public gatherings to celebrate may the 1st which is traditionally a day of left wing protest in the german capital a crowd of mostly young people has gathered in the district of crowds to protest against conditions increases over crowded refugee camps as well as the german governments response to the coronavirus crisis. D. W. Political correspondent simon young is there hundreds of people appear to be in flouting social distancing rules welcome simon whats going. Well is right field and its a pretty aggressive atmosphere i should say on the streets of quite spare give the seating but thats nothing unusual on the 1st of may the revolutionary 1st of may as they call it when there are often clashes between demonstrators and police but the whole context of the coronavirus i think makes the situation that much less controllable and the police have been making announcements to the crowds that have been gathered here saying you know you cant possibly be observing social distancing when people are just Milling Around waiting for something to happen here and thats whats been going on for the last few hours weve got helicopters circling above us the police trying to appeal to people to separate not to gather in groups of more than. A few up to 20 is whats allowed under the current rules here in berlin but people arent doing that some people are waiting for their opportunity i think to face off against the police so so far weve seen just a few arrests but there are certainly some people who are expecting violence later ok this is as you say a long held to do tradition how was the day played out. Well as i mentioned there hasnt been real violence. A lot of shouting out and if you can hear in the background behind me there are some demonstrators gathered there the police in large groups really blocking the streets trying to get people to go home and a lot of people are just really ignoring that advice theyre enjoying the opportunity i think some of them to square off against the police and to the Police Response has been really very robust if you look over here youll see a huge group of police in riot gear then moving into position and thats typical of the scenes weve been seeing over the last few hours really an expectation of violence despite the coronavirus and i think that will be surprising and shocking even to some viewers and people around the world. But. Small scale because of restrictions and sometimes a move to social media this report from how. 3 union reps carry 3 flags and maintain social distance the 1st demo in hamburg looks a little different this year. The fish market doesnt look great but. Whats happening and i think right now its especially important that we let people know that the unions and we as Union Members are active and approachable. Finally a bus with 25 demonstrators arrives thats the legal limit according to the police the German Trade Union confederation originally counted on 6000 people showing up. Its a little bit spooky nevertheless its an important sign for everyone out there. The official made declaration will be given online 3 hours of information and talks employees from all over germany will speak their mind demands are being made that the nurses and salespeople who are now considered corona heroes be better paid. We need a European Investment program for this european Marshall Plan weve been demanding this for some time now also in hamburg peace protesters demonstrated while strictly following all hygiene answer still rules and in leipsic a group of more than 200 anticapitalist marched through the city after being approved by the city office all in all a quiet may 1st. 3 members of the german football side cologne have tested positive for corona virus symptom free and have been put into quarantine to preserve the previously the clubs not disclosing the names positions and the clips are actually continuing to train groups the german football the hopes to resume the season in may. So lets talk this through with Chris Huntington from d. W. Welcome cross the story is developing yes what do we know at the moment about these positive tests what heres what we know that as you mentioned you know we dont know if there are players or the staff but some reports suggested 2 players and possibly the physical therapist or the positive results as this rumor at this point but heres the most important thing the German Football League just started testing they just started testing on thursday that was a mandate handed down from the state they expected a decision to be made you know on the 30th of april that was a mate thats basically being pushed back to next week the team started testing the 1st batch of testing and then we already have 3 results but according to the hygiene and control measures in place that have been in place since the beginning of april when they started training in small groups. Are the reasons that many continue ok well that the bundesliga was confident of restocking and may so how will this affect hot i think it will definitely raise a red flag you know especially when you factor in that the state will revisit the conversation next week and with the series of tests taking place who knows how many positive results you know will come out of that we know that there are 3 so far and that might be 3 too many you know and besides that you have this other conversation going on with byron c. E. O. Has really been pushing for german football to resume they really want the bonus they get to serve as some beacon of hope for German Society and as an example to the rest of europe of how things can get back on track you know but obviously you know some argue thats profit over the players something risk bankruptcy if their product isnt you know in front of t. V. Cameras so you have a lot of conversations but i think that theyll really have to revisit the conversation i wouldnt be shocked if the state pulled the plug on german football like weve seen in other European Countries weve seen it in france weve seen it in the nether. And you know we have to wait and see what the numbers are but i think its just a negative sign ok so we have 3 positive coronavirus tests training is continuing the players must have concerns about safety of course they have concerns you know just here in germany part of born was the 1st club to report a positive test their captain has paid seriously you know been opposed to the idea of resuming you know action so soon because he simplified it is saying hey i just play a game but i understand if im called back i have to toe the line and be a company man and Start Playing but weve also heard a byron players express speculation a concern about returning so soon even outside of germany sergey oh where oh star player for man chester city he basically said im afraid you know because at the end of the day were all human beings and theres one a bill is any one of contract in this deadly disease and worst of all the possibility of bringing it back to their families im sure you know is increasing their level of fear chris heinz or did you support thank you ok. And one group particularly affected by the covered 1000 pound him his Health Workers as well as physical exhaustion doctors nurses and cabinets also have to deal with the emotional strain of seeing so many people die some will service their own lives because of a lack of personal protective equipment or they w.

Some of them have refused to work as a consequence the Indian Government has promised Insurance Coverage for each Health Worker on the front lines of code 19 but that is only if they die in the line of duty. The actual workers are not insured if they fall ill with corona biters the Delhi Government however tells us that they are ensuring a regular supply of protective equipment to all the frontline Health Workers but workers like rajan are not the only ones struggling to reach people without sufficient protective gear this is one of hundreds of Community Clinics in. These primary Health Centers run by the State Government have been especially important in providing health care in underserved areas. Now they play an Important Role in the capital in the struggle against the spread of the riders while the doctors at these clinics are equipped with basic protective gear they do run the risk of contracting corporate 19 from east and dramatic areas this doctor wanted his mean good health because you feel it professionals at the question its 100 percent risk were at a 100 percent risk because there may be asymptomatic patients coming to us who have not been tested we too can be asymptomatic carriers we should get tested this. With a number of cases in india still on the right community Health Workers like knowledge and have a tough task ahead of everybody who might also be infected something we do want to work on but not by putting our lives at stake. And dragon passes by this red zone every day to conduct her duties she and many Health Workers like her are braving a life and death threat.

Well scientists and the World Health Organization agree that testing is a key measure for containing the pandemic but some countries by a lack of facilities. Israel has developed a novel way of making test more widely available and easier to access. It might look like a new standard but in fact this is a new Israeli Development designed to meet the high demand for corona Virus Testing a few weeks ago the trial run started. Here but i work in a nursing home and we all have to get tested i think im healthy and im excited about this New Invention so. The crew on a virus test booth is a one man operation the patient shows their insurance and Identity Cards then their data is printed on a label and a mouth smear for the corona test is inserted into the prelabor tube this is put in a cool box and later taken to the lab the patient and test personnel do not come into personal contact at all and the whole process only takes 5 minutes including disinfection. He doesnt need to wear anything to protect himself. So we are. Protective equipment. Medical staff so its easy to use safe.

They do do something it feels good to be there we dont you dont actually we actually take for granted i mean if you look at. The dish. 5 weeks ago the countrys president ordered most citizens to remain indoors and shuttered all but essential businesses as part of the response to the pandemic its been one of the strictest lockdowns in the world and doesnt result many people have been struggling to make ends meet. Or now when i get this good life in bed up because im not working. Now was all of this. Today when i. Wanted table although the looked and seems to have been effective there have been dozens of complaints about Police Brutality when implementing it the United Nations is expressed in the heavy handedness as the country slowly americas from lock down south africa now faces the challenge of boosting its economy which was already in recession before the coronavirus struck. Lets get the latest from cape town that enjoying. Creech welcome the government has this delicate balance to strike between restarting the economy and containing the pandemic just walk us through its approach so basically they introduce a lockdown in 5 stages that will be constantly adjusted depending on the growth of corona virus infections that we started 45 weeks was stage 5 for the strictest level and the best case in the next weeks we might go back to stage one which would mean most people could get back to work but at the moment its stage 4 and that means still no sales of cigarettes no sales of alcohol only a few industries allowed to get back to work and also only a limited capacity so its still quite a long way to go youve also seen the exercising pictures there before and you saw some shortcomings there as well 6 to 9 oclock is a very limited time obviously in cape town the sun is rising at 7 30 in the morning so you basically had one of the half hours where almost everybody tried to get out which obviously lets do some pictures as you have seen of congestion which shouldnt be the case at this point of time but generally i would say the society here in south africa is quite divided about the strict measures you have half of the population roughly saying well it is very important government must protect us and must do everything they can to stop this outbreak and on the other hand you have more and more people also arguing that well yes coronavirus is a problem but we also hungry and this is a modern problem for us and around the world what weve seen is that inequality plays a big part in how hard this coronaviruses strikes whats the situation there in south africa. Absolutely its mainly the poor that suffer under this lockdown here and the treasury has announced that probably 3 to 6 or 7000000 even people might lose their jobs because of this outbreak depending how long this whole crisis will last or this is going to of course have a lot of negative impact on the Economic Situation on the situation of a lot of people here but overall i think theres also a little bit of optimism that people would get a bit closer together because ive observed here many times neighborhood initiatives all over the place people trying to help each other trying to help the less privileged and i hope that actually this crisis might bring people closer together and not further apart. And one of the challenges facing the country as it tries to open up again well i mean the major challenge is that basically the numbers will keep on growing Health Experts here expect the 1st peak to reach between july and september so in the beginning south africa was praised globally for their strict and approach to to really have the street blocked and to bring the numbers down but we will only see then if that was really successful if they could use this time to fix the Health System which was basically collapsing over the past 2 years under increased in capetown thank you.
