And as professional sports around the world. Without fans in the stands. Welcome to the Program Health experts and diplomats are taking part in the annual wild Health Assembly the governing body of the World Health Organization the focus is on the corner by the spend make an unprecedented challenge for the job in a virtual address. So the waldorf being a heavy price for its lack of cohesion in this farming to the pandemic he also criticised countries that ignored the recommendations and so helped facilitate the spread of the coronavirus hes. Also speaking to the. Whole renewed hasa port for the she called for more Cooperation Among nations to tackle the pandemic yes what she said. Great i would say cocoon of you was punin you know i am a design not going to virus pandemic has shown us that we need to do more globally in Prevention Research and the strengthening of Health Systems because thats the theme you would give them that the w. H. O. Is the legitimate Global Organization for health so we must continue working to improve my seizures within the w. H. O. And to ensure that it has sustainable financing not hide because you know. Im joined now by a Political Correspondent hans brant whos following the double murder assembly for us hans what is the message and get american is sending well i think you have to say that here is again a complete support for the w. H. O. In this situation its backing im going to knock on the German Government backing that was the World Health Organization as they legitime it organization in International Affairs as far as health is concerned of course there was an element of criticism there as well a sense that some things did go wrong during the handling of the Coronavirus Crisis but in the end im glad knock on the German Government i want to say the European Union are standing firmly behind the euro. Especially in the situation of germany and the e. U. Some of the bodies germany is one of the countries that is running around the double a troll in the midst of us criticism of its leadership with germany and the e. U. Be able to prevent the talks from being detained by washingtons political agenda. I think so yes i think one has to say that at the moment the United States and their criticism are standing pretty much alone and to the fact that the United States are not paying their contributions to the b. H. At the moment does not make such a big difference after all this specially as far as the corona crisis is concerned the European Union and a number of other organizations held a funding conference just about 10 days ago and there are more than 7000000000 dollars pledged to the fight against the coronavirus so the certainly is Strong Enough at the moment to manage this crisis and supported by very very important actors the question really in the end is where the United States by standing aside might actually be hurting its own interests but donald trump the u. S. President certainly wouldnt say so. From thank you very much for that a circle look now at some other stories making news around the world for the 2nd time in 10 days scuffles broke out in hong kong to that stage of counsel between for democracy and progovernment politicians it was sparked by the removal of a prodemocracy lawmaker who would have presided over lections to a Key Committee charged with setting portioned fields security guards carried several legislators out of the chamber. Japan has plunged into recession the government reported a 3. 4 percent drop in cross domestic product in the 1st 3 months and exports had their worst month since the 27. 00 earthquake and tsunami has come up with the rescue package well nearly one trillion dollars but Analysts Expect a deeper slump and a slow recovery. Your tops biggest budget cardia rhianna has announced that it expects an even bigger loss in the Current Quarter that it had previously reckoned with from april to june brian expects to lose more than 200000000 euros thats nearly twice as commits from the dublin based airline this year ryanair expects to carry 1000000000 passengers only about half its usual numbers. Of items of correspondent just a delay me is following this for us tough times for ryanair but yet its talk is surging today whats behind the optimism thats right the stock is up about 13 percent right now as investors are clearly quite optimistic about this report today ryanair is obviously not untouched by this crisis they are seeing at that decline and their business and they expect that to persist but they are seen as relatively well positioned and the European Airline market theyre one of the few big carriers that havent had to seek state aid and they do have a pretty strong Balance Sheet they have a big stockpile of cash and they also have been working through restructuring plans so theyre seen as as pretty well positioned to weather the storm and once airline air travel does get back up and running they likely will be able to price out some competitors and regain some market share now German Foreign minister heiko moss says the country hopes to lift its travel warning on the 15th of june what does this mean for the struggling european. Its certainly a step towards normality but just really a staff of a i havent really decided what measures need to be put in place to reopen this for the Summer Travel season this is a really crucial season about 80 percent of travel industry revenues are earned in july and august so if they if they are able to get the the season back up and running and that will be sleeping really important but it doesnt necessarily mean that they will be at full capacity any time san so its a delay me thank you very much for that some sports news no in germany the bundesliga resumed over the weekend off a 2 month suspension because of the quote on about us there were no fans in the stands and the players have to contend with strict new hygiene rules but one thing demand the same he does a buy in munich one they beat when you on beilein 2 min away. Happy to be back at work. And grateful to be healthy with bard munich gunning for an 8th straight title theyve needed maximum points against you know in berlin and they got them from the corner thomas moore thought he put the defending champions ahead early in the 1st half but moolah had to settle for an of cycle instead just before the break you know its never been so but its helped by aaron take the leave after a foul lowly run gorecki who sold it will. Biron penalty taker robert live in those key back from a knee injury got the goalkeeper to guess wrong for his 40th goals in all competitions this season after the break byron were successful from the quarter thanks to been provided scatter the defenders 3rd goal this season wrapped up the 2 nil victory. And what about someone of above teams are highly motivated and i think preparing for these games these last weeks there was so much anticipation for this moment to finally start again you could see that in the players cup because then the muslims in america despite their slow start byard munich re stored their 4 point cushion at the top of the table. So by and one but what was the hold buddhist leader weekend like in court on of us dimes mark meadows of the double sports is here to tell us more from our welcome this experiment was a Pitch Perfect id say it was a success yeah there are a few problems i mean as we saw there the players didnt really know what to do when they scored a goal i mean they meant to elbows or touch with feet never see they touch their elbows and it sort of became a whole going to slap on the back which theyd been told not to do but its very hard to tell a football or ignore social distancing during the match you can put in whatever tackles you want get as close as you want to be of a player but then when youve got to go youre not allowed to touch each other its human nature is going to have and there was one unfortunate scene right at the start of the live broadcasts on saturday actually where one player immediately spat on the ground as soon as the camera panned to him and thats obviously not allowed either but you know its professional sport its stuff the coaches would generally well behaved some of them kind of ripped off their mass as soon as they got out there which again they were supposed to do but what happened is most of the coaches then stood on the sidelines blocking out their orders without their mass but that then meant there was natural social distance back to the bench where everyone else was Wearing Masks so that sort of worked out quite well so i think all in all the winners they will be happy with how it went so that was the action on the pitch but what about in the stands north fans what must have been tough north fans in the stands yet it was tough for the players it was very eerie wasnt it without a crowd noise you know to hear what the actual players are saying to each other that was no but youre tough on the fans there will worries from police that fans will congregate outside the stadiums in large numbers sort of defeating the whole point of not having fans that didnt happen there was a few people here and there but nothing serious so the fans were left to watch it i would homer and in a pub obviously pubs have just started opening in germany again but it is not quite the same when you go to social distance so it was tough for people at home it was also difficult because although it was. Free to air on one particular channel not everyone had that channel so yeah we followed a few fans watching the dortmund shouted game which is the big darby on saturday terrible fish out there they were wiped out for nil but even dortmund fans would so happy with it lets have a little listen. 2 buses per team driving them to the stadium in dought and not because the players have double the number but the practice social distancing fans are also keeping a distance most importantly from the stadium they are searching for new ways to watch football matches for example at a drive in. Theater i never would have thought that id be back at a drive in especially today when you can watch games live from home or at the stadium which we miss now but honestly football is the drive it is a 1st for me its a beautiful. Others stick with tradition and go to a bar theyve been allowed to reopen under certain conditions of course. Everyone is usually greeted with a hug but thats all gone now you can even shake hands yet. Cheering almost without contact well apart and with a subdued mood a step towards normality but it doesnt really feel liberating for many. Im happy to be back at the bar with my friends again watching football enjoying football and a beer but its still quite surreal. Others prefer to stay home with a barbecue and to be here its almost like being at the stadium but its clear that without the fans there cheering their side on even the match on t. V. Is lacking something. Its all those people why yes i must say that now that the game is over it was even more lifeless and one emotional than i expected. For many fans the excitement of the season has been lost. Now and you know its actually a season with 3 different rounds no i dont know i. I hope by the theres a 1st round a 2nd round in a corona round we play in the game as usual. The ball is bouncing again but the excitement has largely evaporated whether football played like this will serve as a model for other sports and leagues is open to question. About excitement but the bundesliga becomes the 1st Major European League to resume during the Coronavirus Crisis when other european leagues follow suit i think they will now yeah i mean there was another game yesterday which was cologne against minds and the big worry was that the games wouldnt be exciting we can actually watched a little bit of that game now it actually was exciting even without the fans it was a 22. 00 draw and it was a good comeback for minds a bit of drama and i think some of the other leagues aboard that it would be too sterile but that game proves that you can still have a good marketable products the English Premier League to date to decide if theyre going to come back and i think they will have watched the banners they go incredibly closely and said its not brilliant its not perfect but its still football so i expect that the English Premier League will come back in june we also have the Spanish League they started training for the 1st time today so i think theyll come back as well the french and dutch leagues at their divisions because they decided they couldnt finish it they probably think maybe were a bit too quick rash with that decision so germany leading the way live there for the time being mark meadows thank you very much for that this is do remember you can keep up to date with all the latest news on our web site thats the dot com and you can follow us on twitter and
