What german chancellor Angela Merkel had to say surveys. You dont have standing exactly each of us spoke about the positive aspects and also brought up criticism when appropriate given the there are still big bridges that need to be built thats clear but it was a very constructive discussion and that is a constructive not most constructive talks on north the big bridges need to be built and they have to be paved with gold or other tech spam money im joined by golly a fella my hes the president of the Kiel Institute for the World Economy a leading german think tank mr whos going to pay the most for this well its very clear its going to be germany whos going to bring both the largest economy in europe and good the really high entropy youre going to have it. Will go to germany also participate can germany will German Companies be able to but is the base from this money yes so that this behavior problem it will go to charity and to other richer northern countries but the program is going to be structured such there helps those countries most who suffer most part of the herd prices and this is a rather exultant refried to lead but also greece france probably orderable spain countries ha very strongly by the core of crisis and also by their decision. And many are now demanding a piece of the pie how should the money be spent where should the money go which sectors of the economy. So they get is very important that we do not get into a discourse discussion about transfers you know every year polygyny just look at their next contribution towards the your budget and its rise to a very acrimonious debate thats not good for her thats why i think really need to think very hard about the project and heritage and visible and obvious that so this would be good for her to project for chappell this could be best turned into research why not just say our common european universities full to all citizens of those could then be placed somewhere in the periphery where. Most of from those initiatives to strongest we need to make sure that there is some measure needed for it but many are saying that most of the money should go into projects that are sustainable like Climate Change projects or a comparable sustainable project whats your opinion on that. So the and to make a couple of days ago there was a proposal of further investing heavily into the high speed rail system connecting paris to berlin new for our. Connection that would be very good point prior to it would also. Be very good for the future predictability development in europe solinger would be both heavy invest heavy investment heavy pinholes effect and also part of the new review. Where youre calling claimants foods from the evil institute told the w. Today that the money should be allocated as grants and not as we payable loans whats your position. And the crucial devoid of this discussion if we really spend the money on. Projects on things that the economists would whole European Public goods then we cant escape this notion of them giving. Or giving loans because they do with the sense of common european interest and it should never matter. Of those things who exactly pays for it and what exactly goes to those things are done the best example for this would be to invest. In a common Border Protection this is good for that refinery because thats where the borders of the european. Union are and it will help those regions to get some you know help they get some help from europe and on the same time it would make the whole of europe secure in the area in that events of people who benefit from this a truth because i dont have the president of the q institute for the World Economy thank you very much youre welcome. China has reported 25 new cases of the coronavirus in the Capital Beijing saying that it now has the latest outbreak under control authorities activated Strict Lockdown measures after the virus was spread at a food market earlier this week but critics are increasingly questioning how beijing is dealing with the crisis and how its still suppressing any dissent about its policies for. Few in china have felt the Economic Impact of the coronavirus as much as migrant workers. Who young she is a day laborer who usually works on construction sites but the building sector took a hit from the corona Virus Outbreak and then was. Finding a job is harder now than it was you that there are more protective regulations like social distancing rules. But we have survived the worst months of the pandemic threat even quite sure that she was. At private job centers postings on the windows show how much the job market has taken a hit wages are declining the equivalent of around 20 u. S. Dollars per day instead of 30. But who you know she says he doesnt want to criticize china in front of the international media. She you need is one of the few people in china willing to speak out hes a human rights lawyer and authorities have been watching him more closely since the pandemic began. When many chinese took to social media to call for freedom of speech he participated by signing a petition. Which the police told me that if i didnt cooperate with them and delete what i had written if i continued to speak my mind there would be consequences for my family and me. And she she worries that the government will use the pandemic to tighten its control over chinese citizens and number of journalists have already felt the pressure. Now leads a war was a news anchor for state controlled media when the pandemic kid he quit his job to report independently from. A classified ad called for night shift workers at a funeral home lead took the job hoping to find out the true number of people who had succumbed to the virus. He was broadcasting live when Plainclothes Police entered his apartment and arrested him he disappeared for 2 months. In april he appeared in a single video explaining that he was simply in quarantine that many of his viewers say he had been forced to lie. Chinas critics say state propaganda has been ramped up since the pandemic began state t. V. Portrays china as a global savior sending Health Care Supplies by the ton to countries in need National Pride is on the rise chinas handling of the crisis has been a model for the world thats the opinion of many here at the great wall. This is how china works 1st our leaders come up with a plan and the people should follow without raising too many objections and benefits everyone. In the way that hallmark. So here you see the difference between socialism and capitalism you should probably take a lesson from china. China believed it had the corona virus a pandemic under control the economy was once again up and running but the new outbreak threatens to draw the country back into a crisis. China presents itself as using best practices for containing the virus but how much of this messaging is tied to the International Pressure to open up for an independent investigation into the initial outbreak we put that question to our correspondent in beijing this very beginning this initial cover up that led to let the virus spread that far that brought so many so much suffering and death to one was something that got people here really really angry in the beginning of february probably the communist party was facing its worst legitimacy crisis in many many years and the fact that they were able to bring the numbers down somehow recounts siloed some people or part of the population with what the government did and the government of course pushed everything propaganda wise to bring over this message to bring it also to other countries china does not want to be questioned by other countries it does not want anybody to bring up the idea of an independent investigation and it punishes countries that do so so this is really important is a major its a message to the International Community but its also a message to the people in china and china wants people to believe that its more powerful its responses more powerful than that in western countries and it works sometimes i hear it sometimes myself people are telling me well its good that you are now in china not in europe here you are safe and this is why its critical for the Chinese Government to bring this outbreak now in beijing that as far as we know is much smaller than what weve seen before and one hand quickly under control to maintain this narrative that china is powerful in detecting and suppressing outbreaks. And he has 1000000000 of a time now for a quick round up of some other developments in the coronavirus fun to make the World Health Organization is warning that the pandemic is accelerating and entering a new and dangerous phase thursday so 150000 new cases the highest ever reported in a single day almost half of those in the americas a result of a study of sewage in italy suggests the virus was present in milan and turin in december this could mean the virus arrived in northern italy before china officially reported its 1st case india has recorded its highest one day spike in infections confirming more than 13000 new cases the country now has the 4th highest number of cases after the u. S. President and russia and officials in germany say a Contact Tracing up has now been downloaded by just over 11 percent of the population was launched this week on a voluntary basis officials in the South African city of cape town are bracing for infections to peak there at the end of june or beginning of july the city has been hit especially hard by the virus with more than half of the countrys 83000 confirmed cases located in the western cape region w. S South Africa correspondent ugly and krishna reports now from cape town. The Cape Town International Convention Center is now a Field Hospital with around 1000. 00 beds cape town the center of the coronavirus pandemic in south africa is preparing for the worst and additional 5000. 00 jobs for nurses and doctors have been advertised for cape town and the surrounding area fire or just was done plies and his team have massive li increased testing one 3rd of those tested here have been infected with the virus and there arent enough testing kits available. Probably even see. One problem is clearly the International Supply situation thats something we really notice in the laboratory were ultimately at the back of the line when it comes to supply it its all produced internationally im not despondent but i must admit there are some very bad 2 weeks ahead of us triple what it was before st the Health Sector could be overloaded as early as next month city councillors 8 or dean is normally responsible for health care now hes also overseeing preparation work in local graveyards this huge area has been cleared for victims of culvert 92000 people will be buried in this cemetery alone in the coming weeks. Without credit its the motion and projections that we have modeled at the moment we will see about 7000 deaths all the way up to pin 1000 deaths being projected in the city we are likely to use in the next few weeks the same amount of graves that have been sit this side for use in one year only a few mourners are allowed to attend funerals the ceremony itself is limited to 30 minutes maximum for deaths due to corona virus is actually a very scary thought that in a few weeks hundreds of people will be buried here but with the way the pandemic unfolds this is going to be the reality. Earlier we spoke to salina abdul kareem hes the epidemiologist leading south africas covert 19 Advisory Team he told us about the problems the countrys having securing covert 19 testing. This was really most frustrating for all of us the country is now doing somewhere between 25. 30 tests per day so its not like we doing you know only a handful were doing a lot of tests but our need as much much greater we really would like to be able to do you know twice or thrice that and we have the capacity that pasty to do you know 70000 has made 100000 has a day we have that capability because that capability was built in order to do testing for hiv and also for tb so because we have the capacity at the machines and everything we just cant get hold of the kids and the fact that the suppliers are just not able to supply the numbers we need is a real problem because its not a money issue its just an International Supply issue. Now to some of the other stories making headlines this hour british Prime Minister Burroughs Johnson has said he hopes the time of National Coronavirus lockdowns is now over it comes after the u. K. Chief medical officer great that the coronavirus threat level should be lowered one notch to epidemic in general circulation has been a steady decrease in cases across the u. K.

Escaping the war in syria the war in yemen persecution in myanmar starvation in venezuela around one percent of the worlds population is seeking refuge. But the outbreak of coven 1000 has closed borders in europe and in africa making it harder to flee. And the supply chain for aid has been crippled by the economic downturn. Refugee camps around the world are bracing for the possibility of a corona Virus Outbreak like in the kakuma camp in kenya. Who are going to put on poor and little to coronavirus it gets in the kakuma refugee camp and all of us will perish there is no space to isolate we live in one enclosure we cannot do social distancing here at all if the disease comes to kakuma we will all die. In europe the destination of many Syrian Refugees attention has turned toward saving the economy from the effects of the pandemic the search for a solution to the refugee crisis has once again been sidelined. Well earlier we spoke to the Un High Commissioner for refugees for the focus on the about hiv dish no hardship refugees are facing because of the coronavirus pandemic the pandemic has hopefully finally brought home to everybody this fundamental message that we live in a world in which many things that global whether we like it or not including challenges im not just talking about the endemic was everybody understands that but what about Climate Change what about migration and refugees what about in security terrorism and if we dont Work Together we wont be able to overcome them the pandemic is teaching us this lesson every day not that were learning very much but it is teaching us this lesson and i do hope that this starts in training and across to the leadership sendek we move away from this dangerous discourse me 1st we 1st my country 1st and we truly operate. Philippic. Refugees trying to reach just a small fraction of those homes worldwide well that 80 percent of migrants crossing National Borders are taken in by developing countries that are themselves poor the next report takes us to. A small impoverished country that is still a destination for many refugees simply for its geographical location. This is the good refugee camp in northern kenya. Thousands of people from mali sought refuge here when islamists took over the north of their country a few years ago the camp was safe at 1st but in march the refugees had to leave after attacks and threats by armed groups terrifying people who are already traumatized by violence. These are the same problems that drove us out of mali the children were sleeping people were killed the same problems have come here. This man and his family fled mali 8 years ago. He says that since 2017 every year the security situation and burkina faso gets worse with deadly and heartbreaking results. They took my cattle they even took my son to this day i have not heard from him. Here in northern. Refugees are caught in the chaos and violence of the region and its getting worse islamist terrorist groups selfdefense militias bandits ethnic conflicts weak state structures and army violence all add to the problems of ordinary people. In burkina faso hundreds of thousands of locals have been refugees for some time now the United Nations Refugee Agency says the koven pandemic has made everything even more difficult. Question in those of you in the villages. Before. I did coming. Back to regularity for their own its like we didnt trust them. And experts say that the terror and violence could spread from brick enough to other countries if things continue to get worse. And secure. The possibility of chaos during the forthcoming elections because we can clearly see that the situation is deteriorating that the state is losing control. That means little prospect that life will improve for refugees here its a desperate situation for this 62 year old man and his family. If there is peace ill go back to mali. But if there is no peace. He does not want much just Safety Security and enough for his family to get by. China has denied detaining any indian soldiers following mondays border clash in the himalayas that left at least 20 indian troops dead both sides have been working to reduce tensions off of the violence which was the deadliest class in the disputed himalayan border region in 45 years.

Firearms have been banned in the region since a 996. 00 Bilateral Agreement that aimed to deter escalation india blames beijing for the flare up accusing chinese soldiers of an incursion response. We expect. China disagrees it says blame for the collapse rests with india china has acknowledged his forces suffered casualties but its released no figures. The 2 sides are currently engaged in dialogue to resolve the issues on the ground through diplomatic and military channels nothing else to offer. The fight erupted in a region of the himalayas where an exact border has never been defined Infrastructure Projects on both sides of the disputed line of control have increased tension in recent months. That tension has now spread across india sparking protests calling for a boycott of chinese goods. As im not calling for the chinese president to be hanging out at the chinese army brutally killed our troops our movement will continue to protest and demand that consumers shun all chinese products sold in our country.
