The bell rang out across berlin to mark the moment. Germanys president. And chancellor Angela Merkel maintained a suitable distance from each other at the countrys central memorial to the victims of war. Steinmeier said germanys neighbors had needed time to trust the country again and accepting german its required an emotional understanding of the past. Germanys past is a fractured past responsibility for the murder of millions and the suffering of millions. That breaks our hearts and thats why i say that this country can only be loved with a broken heart in them how to leave. In britain the Royal Air Force famous display team the red arrows flew over londons landmarks. 2 minutes of silence was observed across the country.

To mark this anniversary Britains Queen elizabeth spoke to the british people on television at the exact time her father king george the 6th gave a radio address in 1905 lets have a listen to some of what she had to say at the start the outlook seemed pretty good the end just didnt. Come uncertain but we kept faith that the cause was right and this belief as my father noted in his broadcast carried us through. Never give up never just bad that was the message of the day. Emotional words there from the queen 75 years after britain was told that the war was over earlier we spoke to William I Hitchcock hes a professor at a professor of history at the university of virginia we asked him whether there were any new lessons to be learned today from this anniversary i think that the generation of the 1930 s. And the 1947 due to the 1950 s. Americans and europeans when the Atlantic Alliance was strongest perhaps in the 1950 s. And early 1960 s. They understood democracy was fragile it was not automatic it was not inevitable it could collapse it could go away they had seen it threatened and challenge they had seen fascism gobble up democrat demonic democratic states in europe and they had seen the terrible devastation of the 2nd world war and the postwar europe was an enormous success the gradual growth of democracy prosperity across the continent all that could go away thats the crucial lesson we should think about on ve day we have to continue the struggle for democracy its not over now heres a round up of the latest pandemic news more than 3900000 people have been infected with the coronavirus globally and more than 270000 have died brazil records its highest one day death toll yet as 750 people die from cope with 19 the country is the hardest hit in latin america 3 nurses have been murdered in mexico the triple murder follows an increase in Violence TowardHealth Workers and yemen has reported a 2nd case of coronavirus and its capital saana it brings the total of number no a total number of cases in the war torn country to 36. The epicenter of the u. S. Outbreak has been in new york state where more than 26000 have died of covert 19 most of the cases have occurred in new york city where the virus overwhelmed the medical facilities from the start as a result large numbers of Health Care Specialists have been brought in from the outside jacobs getting ready 1st not shift he grabs a quick coffee then the ventilation specialist from connecticut heads back to his hotel to be picked up for work hes here to help because new york couldnt cope on its own out of the entire health care population we comprise a very small percentage so i had the ability to help in a very meaningful way and i wanted to take full advantage of that to try to alleviate the situation. Over 3400. 00 doctors nurses and carers from all over the u. S. Have come to new york while pay to process manages to work 12 hour shifts without a break in almost military fashion transported to facilities across the city jacob was in fact previously a soldier he believes its his duty to serve his country. I think theyre scary in different ways this enemy can see this is a historic event. And i think everybody has to be able to look themselves in the face after theyre done and be ok with how they made their way through it jake given a few others head through new york to the borough of queens tonight theyre working in one of the citys hardest hit facilities hospital. This kind of player had to go through a job to be stressful but this is even worse and theres that element of you know we need to raise this and that you know theres still some theres no current. Conditions of the beginning of april here were catastrophic patients lying in cargos doctors and nurses without protection gear and out the back there was a refrigerated container for bodies. Since then things have improved but its still tough going to hot not for the high number of patients going on to ventilators who are already unconscious. We always treat them as gently and then kindly and humanely as we can we try to spend that extra time with them talk to them reassure them. But who is caring for the doctors and nurses experts believe as many as a quarter of them could have been traumatized themselves after seeing so much death and suffering then jakobs hotel there is now a crisis team to help. Its one thing to test sign up and say i want to come help and its another thing to say im like im a great at my job i know how to save people and then terror right here. And people are dying and they that they made that mean that they werent doing their job effectively i was a soldier numerous times in iraq he says he can cope with the pressures but understands that outers might not. Go a lot of times people are ok for a start you know the signs of it afterwards so i would know just heard anybody thinks thats happening to try and read their way through it or do that i would suggest that they see i a bit of support and comfort comes nonetheless at the end of every shift.
