Another day with fewer than 700 new infections the president of the German Public Health agencies seem pleased ahead of the next round of easing restrictions. To protect the population from covert 19 and the best ways and that has worked really well in germany so far as you can tell from the latest figures. Its 100. 00 days since the coronavirus hit germany here in the varia on the 27th of january a man fell ill after contracting the virus from his chinese coworker. In early march during carnival celebrations the region of hind speck became a virus hotspot in this league a soccer game in nearby mention glad went ahead with some 50000 spectators this is when the severity of the crisis really hit germany in early march t.

Political correspondent kate brady is covering the story for us many in germany are hoping the government today will announce a further easing of the lockdown what are we expect. Certainly is the hope of many people and those hopes might be fulfilled especially if this draft document thats been doing the rounds here in germany today approved to be true as the many relaxed restrictions listed in this draft document including the opening of all shops across germany of course so far theyve been limited to smaller shops up to the size of 800. 00 metres square so we could see all shops are reopening of course as long as people were still a daring to social distancing measures in place in germany and its also expected that well see measures to ensure that all School Children actually return to school by the sum of break but it seems that theres a there are some National Efforts that are going to be made but also at state level it seems individual states will be responsible for ensuring or deciding rather whether the restaurants universities and bases will be indeed be reopened to what extent but it seems that any of these relaxation of measures will be dependent on whether or not the case number of coronavirus cases here in germany continues to decrease and its expected that if that does actually rise again or hit a certain threshold that we could indeed see restrictions re implemented here in germany if the some states like lower saxony of a very are pushing ahead to lift lockdowns decisions before there are announced on a National Level is this a case of german states asserting their independence not being actually. I dont think id go so far as to say that bests no being of the German Government or the market but there certainly has been growing frustration among the different states around germany of course not all states have been as badly hit by the coronavirus as of the states and so theyve been keen to relax and measures in place quicker than other states but at the end of the day this is germanys federal system in action and on the one hand there is the advantage that each jemma state can react accordingly depending on how badly or how likely they have been affected by the pandemic but of course people are also across the country looking for some consistency and unity from germanys leaders. Brady thank you over the Summer Holiday right around the corner here in germany those in the Tourism Sector hope travel bans will be a moment restrictions lifted or at least eased day already and the Coronavirus Crisis is expected to cost the industry around 24000000000 euros your business has been to see how the lockdown is making itself felt in the rural Tourism Sector.

Other 1st to return to classrooms amid enhanced Safety Measures its unclear when junior and middle School Pupils will follow. As for in your correspondent. Covering the story for us in beijing fabienne schools are reopening in big cities across china today or can you tell us 6. Already predict that there will be 3 big milestones for china to get back to normal and the milestone of those we see right now thats the opening of the school actually the 1st milestone lost a. Visit of president xi jinping to the epicenter of the virus and the 2nd was announcing off the National Congress the biggest political event this year and now the schools opened it means that actually the government is confident that the reopening of the schools will not bring a 2nd wave of infection and yet now when you go to beijing you can see every often the one in front of the school gates mothers grandparents. Waiting for their children to return and yet its basically one more step off getting back to normal but it wont be a back to school normal so to speak for you goes with what sort of measures are being kept in place. Actually quite strict measures for example social distancing strictly required i mean literally physical distance when the children are sitting in the classroom also they have to get their temperature checked and also they have to scan a q. R. Code and in china when you have a smartphone you are assigned a q. R. Code and then there are 3 colors. Green means youre healthy and normal but then theres also yellow and red and only those students who have a green q. R. Code are actually allowed in the classroom and to the school. China also says it has largely the spread of the disease how big is the fear of a possible 2nd wave of infections. When you talk to people there is some fear to. Greece but actually if you look at the number yes then since friday there were only 26 texas or so thats really really low especially if you consider that the country has 1400000000 people and yet their recent weeks there were some local infection classes for example and how being that theyre not close to the border to russia they want to look at a very some but at least it seems that the authorities staff has brought the infections under control and for now it seems actually the virus was defeated but of course only so long until you have for example the. Waters off the country i listed it cetera so of course it can be a 2nd way from fiction any time of interest in their reporting live from beijing thank you very much for. India has seen its biggest single day spike in the corona virus infections links to an outbreak at a fruit market in the Southern City of chennai overall the country has more than 49000. 00 cases and more than 1500 people have died still in the move to ease lock on restrictions across the country in delhi people are slowly returning returning to work but things are still far from normal.

More easing and its going to take a long time but cities like mumbai mamak outlook crash. And then the National Capital with more than. 2 shooter john do not so why do you think is in the interest on the uptick its also one to get a very long time but to actually pick up in india. It was a when the lockdown was imposed i remember there was much attention to that front of unsent just like. Just trying to block that its just how i was dismissed quickly shut down because there were concerns within the villages as well as by government that these migrants going to get the wireless back will not be little of this recent easing was announced the government also said that session but those in chains ability to know it can these might even be quarantined clues that it was far too nice however this all ties back to the economic question i asked oh you know because a lot of centers you lie heavily on my good and evil lashley operate so now its a looking back but they dont have the migrants whats going around so again one of the additional challenges for these listeners to go up and ill of course also migrants are still using you she was going through difficult register processes to get.

Gnostics as i like up by 70 percent in de lay has actually shut down the store was going to be all of the problem and its likely going to come to the north again because of. Our reporting from delhi for us thank you. Harassment eviction even physical attacks a growing number of Health Workers carried for covert 900 patients are reporting such treatment they say people off fearful that they could spread the corona virus its a phenomenon thats been reported worldwide from europe to asia to north and south america heres a look at what some hospital workers in columbia have enjoyed. Is a nurse and. Wearing her uniform fills her with pride especially in these trying times but in recent weeks she has repeatedly suffered discriminatory behavior after being identified as hospital staff. I recently had to transfer some money. And the place i went to didnt want to let me in. The lady at the front desk told me she couldnt serve me because i was clearly a health care worker. And could be infected. Humiliated. And hurt with the situation were not out to harm anybody. Since the pandemic reached colombia numerous doctors and nurses have reported social stigmatization. That wont stop for them supermarkets that wont let them do their shopping. Nurse was reportedly beaten on the street and accused of spreading the virus. Christiane but touchy is a doctor in the city of cali he was evicted after residents in his building demanded he leave fearing he would bring cobe it into their homes because in general maybe the landlady told me that people were very scared the tenants threatened to leave if i didnt in that case they would refuse to pay the cancellation fee saying me moving in hasnt been their choice and that it had put their lives in danger. So the landlady told me that she was sorry but i had to leave because she had to protect other tenants with. Cases like those of christiane and liz are fortunately quite rare but even isolated incidents put added pressure on those already carrying societys biggest burden most times it seems to be a common misconception that motivates abuse but. People think that the clothes Health Care Workers wear on their way to the hospital are the same garments they were at work. But actually they get a new one stay under the promises. But seeing the uniform is what leads to a 1st level of rejection they reach as well as hurtful as this rejection might be the good outweighs the bad unexpected expressions of solidarity and gratitude are what keeps liz going. I took a taxi the other day and when i was about to get out the driver didnt want to take my money i was wearing my uniform he told me you dont owe me anything thanks for what youre doing for our society. And to those who are still fearful of her and her colleagues she has a clear message. Please dont discriminate against his please dont abuses dont attack because if we are gone who will come out and help you when you need to move. The pandemic has also forced us artist christo to postpone the projects to wrap the activity of in paris in fabric until next year in the meantime people here in berlin can enjoy a retrospective of installations he completed with his late wife john claude in the german capital the exhibition is time to coincide with the 25th anniversary of the duos wrapped rice stock. 1905 it looked like a u.

Has an elegance and an opulence it radiated with magnetic power that simply drew you in. To 95 was the 1st time we met with crystal. It was astonishing to see that every fold and wrinkle he had painted was exactly what you could see in real life later. It was as though he could envision the whole thing. Your home saw the rapt. They also followed christos other installations for decades forging a friendship with him in the process a new exhibit at the populaire shows their collection in honor of the 25th anniversary of christos project. It did so much good for germany and germany granted them permission with such tolerance and generosity parliamentary building isnt just any structure. It also shows the beginning of crystals career when all that was available for him to wrap up with old newspapers or performers of the 1960 s. It also shows his mammoth projects that the couple struggled for decades to realize such as the gates in new yorks central park or the famous bridge in paris their undertakings were always wildly eccentric. Christos last spectacular project was floating peers at lake italy in 2016. This was an installation that allowed people to literally walk on water. The artist sent this video message for the exhibitions opening. Im very happy that all that is now and for the 25 in the rest of that i thank you very much i hope the vision.
