The form of censorship cause were happy that the season is starting up again now but were also worried about a 2nd wave on this that is really difficult not just this year with the many years to come. Also coming up tonight the anger and frustration of the pandemic being taken out on our children a special report about the dangers lurking in the lockdown. This crisis is like nothing for. All. Of us. To our viewers on p. B. S. In the United States and all around the world welcome we begin the day dreaming of a european Summer Vacation 3 months ago as the coronavirus pandemic took hold the world watched stunned as one european country after another closed its borders and shut down its economy. There was no joint European Union plan in those 1st weeks you may remember the criticism as northern italy appeared alone even abandoned as the death toll there skyrocketed well you wont find many loud voices calling for another go it alone approach as june and the Summer Holiday season approach europes Tourism Industry is 110th of the e. U. Used total g. D. P. To survive European Tourism needs european tourists thanks to the pandemic that has never been as true as it is now no european country provides as many tourists and as much tourism revenue to the continent than germany that explains why the entire in you especially greece italy and spain are watching closely the decisions taken here in berlin the German Government is expected to lift its travel restrictions on 31. 00 European Countries effective june 15th now the timing here is crucial towards hotspots around europe and the world are slowly story from there and dimmock slumbers those lines are preparing to welcome back beachgoers barcelonas famous speeches opened on monday as part of spains 4 part plan to phase out its lockdown only today we saw the church of the nativity in bethlehem reopened to visitors after shutting its doors 3 months ago entry is limited to 50 people at a time and masks are mandatory there are also strict controls for anyone visiting the ancient city of pompei in italy including Temperature Check its a small inconvenience for a rare chance to tour those breathtaking ruins without the grounds. Now to say that italy has the most at stake this summer would not be an exaggeration rome is betting on all the european borders to be open again by june 15th and it is depending on germany to make that a reality take a listen to what the italian president of the European Parliament said today. Ill be joining with you she had a nickel now a new note we need to build a stronger European Union with an ambitious plan but with a vision for europe and thats why it is the German Government a founding country of the union that can make a decisive contribution. That it will no comparable to shes even more helpless bill in holders meeting hes chief economist with baron baird bank here in berlin mr smiting its good to have you on the day italys foreign minister today predicted that e. U. Borders opening on june 15th will be like a d. Day for european tourists what do you say will it well d. Day is probably too big a bit for that its great to have the restart but i guess the start will be fairly slow as people would be hesitant to take advantage of the new opportunities it would likely take until next year to get back to Something Like normal its good to be able to travel again quite a few people do so but dont expect anything like the usual Summer Season the economic shutdowns that weve all experienced they took place just as winter was ending back in march was that do you think a blessing in disguise for the Tourism Industry i mean could European Tourism survive if the shutdowns in the walk downs were extended into august and september. Well quite a few businesses would still survive that if the shutdowns were to be extended simply because there would be significantly more Government Support but yes it is very good from the tourist end point that we at this stage before the start of the rio Summer Season making great progress in containing the pandemic the demi will be there this will be a slower tourist season than utah but it will not be a complete loss i remember during the euro crisis when we spoke many times that the problems were depicted or framed within this north south divide in europe the poorer south the richer north how does European Tourism fit into that Southern Europe needs Northern Europe doesnt yes unfortunately this excess abates to some extent the north south divide that we have in europe that we had that we had during the euro crisis because well for prius reasons a lot of Northern European tourists flock to the beaches of the south over the summer so the losses in spain in greece in italy and portugal will be significant much more than the losses in tourism that Northern Europe will suffer as a result the south should get some support from the north with the European Recovery Program where mostly the north will be paying in and mostly the thout will be getting money out of it you know we saw the german chancellor last week she gave a nod for the 1st time ever to allowing europe to borrow money for their fund by using germanys excellent Credit Rating let me were very close there to corona bonds territory will in your opinion will the summer and tourism will they move that europe closer to mutual wising its debt. Well we both mutual i used the debt not in the sense that existing debt will be shared between countries but what we are fortunately doing is that we will be shouldering jointly the burden of covering the expenses of this pandemic and covering what it takes to recover from it so for this specific purpose indeed debt will be underwritten jointly debt issued by european institutions and that makes sense as this is a common challenge rather than something that is the result of National Economic policies. Misters meaning the latest polls i dont know if youve seen them but they show that about half of germans are still not convinced that it is safe to vacation abroad this summer let me ask you what happens if the borders are all open but the germans decide to stay home this summer. Well they wont quite decide to stay home this summer if that were to happen that it would be a significant loss for other parts of europe my impression is that germans at the moment where its allowed to travel within the country already are taking good advantage of that traveling within the country and indeed once the borders to neighboring countries are open again they will also take advantage of that just not as much advantage of it as was usual in past times all right are you taking a Summer Vacation outside of the country mr meeting well were still thinking about it if we may end up doing so but its a bit early lets see exactly how the pandemic evolves in various places and indeed possibly greece might be a place but as the situation is not yet settled were probably waiting for a week or 2 or 3 to make our own mind or i have a feeling youre not the only one doing the meetings and with their bank here in berlin we appreciate your time and i thank you youre welcome thank you. Germany is now planning to extend the social distancing rules until june 29th the deal follows a realm between the federal government here in Berlin Germany 16 states over how quickly to ease what down measures now one state in the east of the country the range it wants to lift restrictions entirely but some are warning that would send a fatal signal. Its quiet at the daily Farmers Market in potsdam a small city near berlin social distancing is no problem on days like these you report on tuesdays and wednesdays its pretty empty but fridays and saturdays are very very busy the queue goes back from my stand right back to where the cars are parked everyone 1. 5 metres apart people that we do people stick to that hard yes yes they do the big debate is over easing the corona restrictions gradually and steadily as the Central Government once or allowing regional states like to enjoy the freedom to loosen up more rapidly if they want. And in my view to reinjure is moving too quickly all the states should get together and agree on a strategy on a united way forward in a minute because quite often and i had his. Company at 1st i thought it was good that there was a joint approach but now there are regions where there are hardly any new infections and i think there should be regional differences. Aside. The Eastern States have to reengineer is loosening the restrictions social distancing will not be enforced next month because the premier says theres no longer any justification for infringing peoples rights. No one and 239 known cases of infection are not a legal basis on which to say to more than 2000000 residents we will be knocking on your door and asking whether there are too many people Drinking Coffee together in your house if you mentioned some coffee because in. But the premier of to various is warning against making dangerous assumptions declawed could almost anyone who thinks corona resign over is being naive since we dont know exactly how the science is going to develop the sensible course of action remains the same staying calm and prudent and acting on a step by step basis. That caution gets a mixed response in parts time but polls show 3 quarters of germans agree with the measured approach being taken by bavaria and in berlin food still to come night life on lifes a poor or take a look at efforts to put the party into post pandemic clubs and bars. But it is one of the biggest in perhaps most tragic ironies of this pandemic the walk downs and restrictions taken to protect people from the virus have made it easier for adults to hurt our kids the childrens Aid Organization world vision says the pandemic has led to a surge in violence against children as well as forced labor and under age. Schools out in ivory coast this was march since then hundreds of millions of boys and girls along the world have been lost. No classrooms no playgrounds and nowhere to run. Charities are warning that the very measures meant to protect them could see them fall victim to violence. Like 12 year old could be to in bangladesh whose father is out of work. That hits us if we ask for more food he is frustrated and angry. Its hard to concentrate because im hungry. I have headaches and sometimes feel dizzy. Everything around me seems prairie. Across bangladesh world vision has been helping children whose family lives have been turned upside down by this virus but these are unprecedented times. This crisis is like. Its like. Were already. Certain its all. Of us or. Out world vision estimates that 85000000. 00 more children may be exposed to violence during quarantine in bangladesh beatings by parents increased by 40 percent an additional 4000000. 00 girls a risk of being forced into marriages in the next 2 years. The u. N. Says that spike is the result of families looking to recover financial losses. Frontline workers are concerned that failure to act know will lead to more trauma in the future. Oh. Well. All of a sudden. Fame we are. Asked. For months the Coronavirus Crisis has been one of a meal and says and intensive care ward now experts say without extra funding and protection it may give way to a crisis that is longer lasting and harder to heal. Or my next guest sounded the alarm 3 months ago connecting children abusing code 19 Cornelius Williams is associate director of Child Protection at unicef he joins me tonight from new york continues its good to have you on the day it was march 20th when you sent out the press release warning the world about the dangers of the pandemic for for children in these lockdowns were your warnings he did once and go made state hit that one in office of cherry it respond. By and large we havent seen actually the response i think has not been i didnt create interest we it provided the kind of protection and support that millions of children need actually to 77 percent of children who are living in countries where there is a spiritual or a serial lockdown we dont think the response has been not equipped and why do you think that is so. Virtually actually and you have to the wall has to parry times actually the wall has to protest have protection one of the force thing actually behind us will is that the social workers and this chap protection work should be made it since it work they tweet should try in all means to make sure that this Child Protection workers have contact with children who are afflicted right by the syrian. And already suffering from falling in the homes of it even e who are already actually who are disabled right who need services so when the knock down happened ok those who were in contact with children who are providing services to their i know be cutoff and we scramble even trying to use or kinds of fights what needs to get to this but the most important thing is to make sure that i actually do work as a party times for these cases you know you talk about priorities from china to the u. S. To right here in europe you know theres this constant drumbeat about restarting the economy theres not a drumbeat about protecting the children what has this pandemic revealed to you about the value that we all plays on our children you know and truly here is there somebody who said the children are going to pay the price right now the children going to pay the price actually for restarting the economy are the children going to pay the price for strategies that have been put in place if we brought you children who are the next generation. Who are the ones who are going to be able to do the rebuilding who are the ones who are going to take the world forward after cooking experiences right then we should make sure that or 46 that it developed to respond to the needs of this children the policies have to ensure that their children are protected doing the containment phase and after the containment trades that we peeled back big to Protection System so its still the parties have to make sure that that loss gains in education that the children have suffered from its built into the fortys we should have that is part of the drumbeat right we should have also ringback the last engage in health care the vaccination set needs to be down there child care that needs to be dont so no matter what kind of Economic Policy you put in place economic policies are made up of human being sexually and you would need this children as your citizens even your country to take forward this Economic Policy i mean weve got about 30 seconds corneas let me ask you is there anything though in this crisis with children that has pleasantly surprised you. 1st of all weve been listening to the surprise that resilience of children remember what has happened to the well billions of children we one day take it from where 3 Security Police not and not to a factual well and this today should in critical recedes in it baseball be naturally to this shift it in life and so we should wake up my 3 children and their resilience we should recognize that ingenuity actually and how they have responded to this current experience. Ok continuous way and associate director of Child Protection at unicef 20 years we appreciate your time your insights tonight thank you. Thank you very much for having me. More chances are you have not been clubbing or out to a bar in a long time unless you live in iceland that small Island Country in the north atlantic has been a world leader in testing for cope with 19 of the government says it now has the pandemic under control so after a 9 week hiatus bars and nightclubs are open again. Monday night in reykjavik for the 1st time in more than 2 months people could meet their friends out for a drink and some were even ready to show off their moves on the dance floor again. We went out to get them that it was. A real life like. That it was. Mass testing and early tracing of being cited as the main reasons for icelands relatively low rates of infection and only 10 people have died from covert 19 in the country. But as icelands bars are allowed to reopen authorities will be keeping an eye on the situation earlier this month south korea had a spike in infections after night clubs were reopened there for bar owners the restrictions is a blessing part of the stuff that its just like being born again its been a hard period but i think well come out of this strong at least i hope so. While the bar is finally open those who were hoping to avoid icelands bright nights and dance until the early hours under discussion lights might be disappointed 11 pm is closing time for now and im already fresh from the clubs as my colleague has been reporting on this story so joe how safe is it safe to go out to the clubs in iceland now well Health Experts are saying that we shouldnt be Opening Night clubs until theres a vaccine or until theres a sufficient level of immunity in any given population and nightclubs are of course ideal places for transmission for an airborne virus theyre close quarters people speaking in very close proximity so its a bit of a risk but every day were hearing of more countries easing their lock down measures and allowing people to return to drinking establishments the Czech Republic has reopened its famous breweries kong said. Its not clubs and its karaoke lounges were reopened within a few days theyre taking a risk we know that in south korea there was an outbreak in a nightclub district just a few weeks ago more than 200 people were infected that led to more than 60000. 00 people having to be traced and tested so countries that are doing this theyre taking a gamble that they now have the resources and knowledge to be able to deal with the consequences that they didnt have before i can imagine that a lot of people here in berlin or watching what happens in iceland berlin is known for being a city of close being are the clubs here in berlin are they likely to reopen anytime soon well the short answer is no bill in City Government is being very cautious more so even than other german states it has allowed restaurants and cafes to reopen but there is no theres nothing on the horizon for clubs and not clubs and only has good reason to be cautious one of the 1st clusters of coronavirus outbreaks in this city was in a nightclub of course that has left the operators of nightclubs in a very difficult position many of them a worried about how theyre going to survive right now they are owning donations from live streamed d. J. Sets that that isnt enough to cover the rent in the long term and theyre kind of currently proposing Creative Solutions to allow them to open for Example HoldingOutdoor Events in public parks having all their guests wearing mosques and using apps to trace people now one by one industries are pleading their case for their right to be able to reopen and proposing solutions for example today the german sex workers industry proposed that legal brothels be allowed to reopen as long as the clients a wary other sorry the sex workers are wearing mosques now just as with nightclubs theres no indication that these proposals are being taken seriously we have to remind our viewers jew that prostitution is legal in germany we understand that there is an American Company that has come up with a vision of safe clothing what is that im not going to like this very much anyone is going to like it to be honest but the company has come up with an idea called them. Shell and they say it is a socially responsible solution to allow people to interact in close proximity lets have a look at what theyre talking about it is basically a body search looking like some kind of spacesuit it comes with a nozzles inside the mosques there that you can drink out of and faith out of at the same time they say its only covering the top of your body so the bottom half is free for all the bodily functions basically the only practically interesting thing about this that i think i would actually want is that theres a volume control inside the helmet so that you can turn down the music of it gets through out and you know to me that sounds like a pretty good idea ive been in some noisy nightclub before its like techno from the ninetys doesnt it a little bit a little bit out of style and you know thats another one of the problems so far the Company Seems to only propose one color and the last thing you want is to show up at a nightclub and realize that someone else is wearing the exact same protective suit as you that would be very uncool that is for sure joe as always we appreciate your reporting thank you. Its almost the conversation continues online join us on twitter a. Member whatever happens between. Will see that it was. Going. To find accommodation. Number of applicants for. The answer to 100 euros 1st let me live the last month of a senseless war the 100 years of live security and Water Bottles is becoming a scarce commodity eliminate education liberty w. Islam democracy and religious tolerance thats what indonesia stands for. We understand that theres a diversity that forms the backbone of this country but islamist radicals are gaining influence. We only fight against anybody on insults our religion how long can the country hold its ground against the fundamentalists indonesia diversity under threat. In 45 minutes on the. Bike vote. My gorgeous was. For the russians so. Steep. For so many different walks of life. Sung by me and oddly twice but come straight from the heart of. The Russian Internet journey to death starts to maintain g. W. As. In the next and yet its obvious that the private Housing Market isnt helping berlin that thats why we see expropriation as the solution and i will tell you that socialist housing policy and has nothing to do with Market Forces out of any support classes alleged they dont have a right to an unlimited return at the expense of the city social fabric
