Says the u. S. Could see quote needless suffering and deeper economic damage as lockdowns park ended too soon. And the afghan president orders the military to restart operations against militants this after extremists attacked civilian targets including a Maternity Hospital killing mothers and infants. Im brian thomas great to have you with us today as lock downs is across europe and people slowly return to work later today the European Commission is expected to announce new guidelines for Summer Vacation travel the new framework will lay out the conditions for reopening border. For schengen countries under normal circumstances these countries allow passport free travel among Member States expected are new guidelines on hygiene for hotels and other tourist accommodations it is anticipated that the commission will also recommend that masks be worn on trains and in restaurants. That have used back sanders following the story for us in brussels good morning to you max its sounding like good news what can you what do you tell us about the measures the commission is looking at today well brian we have to wait and see what the commission are with the college of commissioners which concrete steps theyre going to unveil later today theyre going to be discussing the whole package this morning and presenting it to the public later this afternoon. As you said already these its important to note that these are guidelines so not all of this is necessarily the binding so the responsibility of implementing these the suggestions to bring back safe and coordinated travel across the Schengen Area the responsibility lies within the Member States but the talking points are going to be the lifting of border checks bringing back transport making transport more easy again and with the Holiday Season coming up obviously tourism and one of the concrete measures that is likely going to be addressed and going to be mentioned today is at the implementation of green zones and this would mean defining regions in the Member States that are relatively safe in terms of corona virus infection rate and allowing travel from and to these does the nations 1st so meaning opening up gradually step by step not too fast not to risk a spike but also not too slow not to hurt the economy more than necessary ok so safe and coordinated those are 2 important operative words youre now would these measures apply to all the schengen countries you mentioned the green zones hows this going to be working with the Member States in toto. In the long run yes all the shiny countries but right now were just looking at the regions parts of individual Member States not at all the entire showing in showing a region some the situation the Health Situation regarding coping 19 in the showing in countries varies or greatly so we still have regions in italy for example where theres a very high infection rate greece on the other hand another very popular Tourist Destination has relatively low infection rates also has to do with that many factors come into play here but also they are going into lockdown pretty fast at the beginning of march but were likely to see travel to those regions 1st tests at the border or prior to travel might be an option to get around this this this green zone suggestion regulation but well have to wait and see how the situation evolves and if we can ultimately see and how fast we can see if all of sudden gummi going back to the traveler a briefly if you could max any idea when this could take Effect People are very anxious to to book their holidays right now well booking will be the problem i guess it just depends on if your flights going to take place if the countrys going to let you in if the hotel is going to be able to accommodate you but austria for example already announced that they were going to not have. Regular border checks starting this friday greece said by mid june they were going to welcome people back to their beaches france on the other hand said were going to be closed until mid june so there are different plans and policies in place and i think will will find out a lot more it with the in the upcoming days max thanks so much for that from brussels today and the United States governments top Infectious Disease expert as one lawmakers and cities and states could see a spike in 1000 deaths if they left their lockdowns too quickly after the fallacy expressed his concerns wall testifying before the u.

S. President s bush in his role on the White House Coronavirus task force hes had to walk a tightrope between Public Health and the un scientific theories promoted by donald trump but this version is going to disappear. Its a question of what that when you talk about will this virus just disappear and as i accept publicly many times that is just not going to happen because its such a highly transmissible virus and with the virus not going away felt she had another message for the senators safeguards like testing and Contact Tracing you need to be in place before states open up. So if a community or a region doesnt go by those guidelines and reopened the consequences could be pretty dire who are the consequences could be really serious. Public Health Officials believe many kovac 19 deaths in the u. S. Could have been avoided if or strictures were put in place 2 weeks earlier.

Russia has started using its lockdown president putin is going ahead with plans to roll back restrictions across that country which has reported more than 230000 people infected moscow has been hard hit and is requiring gloves and masks and supermarkets as well as long public transportation. No entry without gloves and a mask employees here tell people. The mini market in the center of moscow is sticking to the citys new rules and despite a huge drop in profits due to lock down measures the store can now only let people wearing protective gear shop.

And that not saying anything the restrictions should be in place for 3 years why not make it 5 that just messing people around. Could look around people got out on the streets anywhere no matter what restrictions or. Political analysts argue that the kremlins decision to ease restrictions is politically motivated as surveys show trust and blood in their putin has fallen to new lows. The main reason for these changes is that russia doesnt want to fall behind the west much and many European Countries have already started coming out of corn team theyve been successful in their battle against the pandemic.

Here in germany the economic costs of the pandemic are continuing to now putting the countrys Banking Sector is in trouble once again announcing today that the crisis has cost some 479000000. 00 euros now much of that is being put down to customers failing to pay back their loans on time but whos on the hook in this all the taxpayer. Back in 2008 at the high point of the financial crisis already troubled come out spunk with tottering and the German Government bailed out in a rescue action that ultimately totaled 18000000000 euros in return the state received a quarter of the banks shares critics called the rescue action wildly expensive especially for taxpayers combats banks fortunes revived but germanys 2nd largest lender never really recovered nor did share values in may 2008 the share price was around 140. 00 euros now its just 3 euros. And the state still has a stake more than a decade later its the largest shareholder with more than 15 percent and no selloff in sight many economists see the billions spent to bailout commands bank as a big fat loss. So should the state continue propping up this troubled bank lets dig into that with Andreas Parshall hes an advisor to the German Finance Ministry good morning to you andreas whats your advice to the government on comair spog income at spike its tricky because its not just an ordinary company that is failing but its also one of the largest banks in germany and we know how crucial banks are afford that for the Economic System and also to force the supply of liquidity of credits to firms and so this is this makes this decision very difficult but from another pure business point of view obviously this wasnt a good investment for the German Government. German taxpayers have already song 18000000000 in. Isnt one of the golden rules for investors not to throw good money after bad. Thats true. If you see it purely from and from a business from an Investment Decision this is not to not it wouldnt be a good idea but theres more to this india specially in the Current Crisis i dont think it makes sense to let the bank go bankrupt because we dont know what the consequences are and also the chopped losses but in general we should be careful with the state investing in firms because usually firms that are asking for money from the state they are not in a good shape to begin with so its usually not a good investment project to start it when youre talking to the German Government do you advise them now that theyre partially owners of commands banca how to manage this bank or at how does that work also and in my role as an advisor to the German Ministry of finance we are not involved in such a lets say day to day business its more about the conceptual strategic things that we are stupid good advice on and i dont also i dont think it makes sense for the government to directly intervene in the management decisions so of course they are now the largest shareholder of spunk and they should be involved in selecting management but then the management should do their job and they should be evaluated on their performance ok youre involved in these decisions how concerned is the German Government about the political fallout of Bank Bailouts and thinking here about 2008. Now yeah obviously this is a big issue. Rescuing banks is not very popular especially if you remember up like 10 years ago or. Still how much money they earned before the crisis and then it bonus payments to manage just this leads to a very bad press so this whole place are old but the crucial thing is we need to think about which firms relevant for the system which banks are relevant for the system and to keep to keep the economy running and we dont have too many banks so that its a tricky decision which is cannot be made purely on the investment or returns to Investment Decisions andras partials i so much for coming in on this today thank you bye its to turkey now where children aged under 14 are being allowed finally to leave their homes for a few hours today for the 1st time in more than a month turkey has gradually been easing some of its coronavirus lockdown distractions shopping malls and hair salons have been allowed to reopen under strict hygiene requirements but some cities including istanbul and ankara will be put back under lockdown again during the upcoming Holiday Weekend and the countrys Elderly Population and children are still subject to curfews. On this lets bring in correspondent dorian jones and his son mir who are joining us from a park in istanbul good day to both of you really special morning for the entire family today near 1st to you whats it like getting out after being cooped up inside for so long it is very exciting because i really miss my friends and when you speak when you do online classes its not the same when i was meeting face to face. Those online classes certainly arent the same are they mary will you be getting to see your friends soon are they going to come down to the park today yes they are im going to meet my friend and his cousins ok what are you guys going to be doing a little bit of tag some soccer some football whats going to be happening when when you see them finally after so long mostly probably hiding. I didnt see probably be playing hide and seek in some other games ok well me or enjoy the games with your friends with your cousins a dory and a turkey has been easing some of its restrictions happily for you and your family house the governments approach going down with the public. Well i think theres a mixture of feeling certainly there is relief for people over 65. 00 who managed to get out for a few hours after nearly 2 months locked down and the children and youth of the country as well Small Businesses many of been shut since march to there is now hope that they can get their businesses back on track but those feelings are really tempered for many by fears of concern that this could lead to complacency in fact images on friday of a packed high street in istanbul alarm from turkeys health minister. Who warned against complacency over the easing of restrictions and also the turkish president reject tapered one warned of the catastrophe of complacency so there is a mixture of feelings and speaking to many Business PeopleSmall Businesses who have opened who have suffered great financial losses they 2 of those in the fear that yes they have welcome the opportunity to get their business on track but they fear the return of of the virus a fear an upswing an upsurge in infections by the easing is really of these relate of these regulations and also the fear of those shopping malls opening that too has caused a great deal of concern given it is a compain space and leaving the potential increase in infections and the great fear is that they could be a further lock down if these regulations are east carefully so there was a mixture of both optimism relief and also fear.
