Signs of discontent emerge from iran as demonstrators in the city of homs protest the governments handling of the economy. And sex workers in germany say the coronavirus ban on prostitution is putting their livelihoods and safety at risk by driving the business underground. Welcome to the program the United States has broken yet another coronavirus record 75000. 00 you infections in one day thats almost as many as chinas official 6 month tally florida is the new epicenter now on friday the Sunshine State we call it more than 11000 new cases. The state also recorded a 4th consecutive day with more than 100 deaths floridas republican governor governor Rhonda Saunders who is facing criticism for his handling of the pandemic has blamed the high number on increased testing in the state. Correspondent is in miami outside the Jackson Memorial hospital staff and we are seeing grim new figures whats the situation like on the ground there in miami. Described the situation absolutely accurate it is horrible situation florida is a socalled red state red states there are 18 in the United States and this terminology stems from a report which was prepared for the Coronavirus Task force in washington d. C. In the white house which the white house has not made public yet but it is true florida has tremendous new infection cases numbers here yesterday 13000 today 11000 in the days not over here in Miami Dade County and in miami so doctors we talked to from the Jackson Memorial hospital they do not expect any good news for the next following days or today in terms of infection rates and death rates remember it takes and rates is one thing death rates is another important number and hospital hospitalization rates the problem in miami is that the hospitals do not have enough i. C. U. Beds anymore theyre actually over capacity that means they have to create more beds as i. C. U. Beds that they actually have planned for originally so were the people taking the situation seriously here reckon. I have to tell you no they dont in a lot of slops large amounts people here seem to be oblivious or just dont care or are in an uninformed about what really is necessary and again we talked to medical professionals here and they said its very very simple and comes to really really something really really simple where a mess where missed do not engage with large crowds and keep social distancing a life do it to stay 6 feet apart. In public in enclosed rooms and wear a mask but this message does not seem to come through not here in miami not in florida not in arizona and over in california. Not in many many other states i could go on and on and on numbers Coronavirus Infections are rising why because the states have pulled back on their measures no more men dates and people do apparently not want to wear masks. States have. Sort of retreated on that that measures that they put up against the coronavirus what is governor dissent is proposing to get the infection rates under control then. Good question hes not really proposing anything to get the actively proposing something new to get the effects of rate under under control dissenters as well as a few other governors for example the governor in georgia seemed to think paul just for the for the noise here thats how they cut the medical they call it up there from the hospital you take it off. Governors in those states like here in florida and georgia seem to think that theres no way that they want to roll back into a shutdown and. Therefore they trust that their medical systems are able to handle an increasing infection rates their reluctance to mandatory to issue a mandatory mask wearing order to the public stephanie months reporting from miami thank you. Back here in europe the e. U. Leaders are holding a summit in brussels to try and reach an agreement on how to divide a 750000000000 euro fund to help Member States with cover from the pandemic there are deep divisions over whether grants or loans should be given to help the hardest hit nations germanys chancellor Angela Merkel is presiding over the summit and she has admitted that finding a compromise wont be easy masks on gloves off european leaders are back in brussels for the 1st time since the beginning of the Current Crisis with the blocs finances at the top of the Agenda Council president ial michelle expects negotiations to be exceptionally tough a lot is at stake for Security Systems if you see i know it will be very difficult because its not only about money its a question of the future of europe if you want a stronger more stable your whole proofs or did you hold bush to michelle has put a financial package on the table to help the e. U. Economy get back on its feet in addition to the 7 year e. U. Budget of more than a trillion euros michelle has proposed a Recovery Fund of 750000000000 euros in loans and grants. Money for this fund will be bored by the e. U. On Financial Markets and directed toward countries hit hardest by the crisis such as spain italy and greece whats driving a wedge between leaders is whether the money should be handed out as grants the socalled frugal for austria the netherlands finland and sweden insist it should be mostly loans and paid back he is considered one of the biggest obstacles to a deal austrian chancellor is a bust includes good things and agreement can be reached but that necessarily this weekend. Is used. There is still a lot of questions to be answered 1st of all to where should the funds flow who will be the main recipients what is the suitable criteria for this new kitty out in darfur. Theyll clearly delighted to be meeting up again in person the jovial atmosphere is not expected to last long and german chancellor Angela Merkels cautious optimism in the days leading up to the summit seems to have subsided. This put off we will take a lot of willingness to compromise from all in order to agree on something that is good for europe that will be good for the people of europe with regard to the pandemic that would be a suitable response to the economic difficulties were experiencing so therefore i expect a very tough negotiation about if the as if we have a 100. 00 for now leaders positions like their seats are still far apart. As both the copresident of the european greens and brussels i asked him how optimistic he is that made us will be able to reach an agreement on the recovery of this summit. Terry honest i dont know i would say shish teach some speech about the fact that he said he could be inconclusive and no one would be going to be included in this months but frankly speaking i do not know what new element would sort of face. The landscape i mean all the elements are on the table all her interest. Economy consequence is needed responses are on the table and now is for european leaders to show that they are leaders able to rice really occasion and show political courage like chancellor merkel did. Dismounts when she decided to make you turn and so appalled. Borrowing by the european sound seemed to success in German Government center if you will still far you said no no no new elements on the table but it appears there are the czech Prime Minister for example said he wants to be able to use the Coronavirus Money for the car industry bulgaria wants to spend the money on agriculture on the poles and hungary and dont want any ethical conditions of tach so there are new elements if you will and do you think all those new demands are legitimate. I might see this maybe use some of the money need need to be interested in the car industry some of it may be interested in india or actually questionis to do what i mean this is to basically sure. You know this is if this is to help every juncture be going green or to have the car industry be going green or that why not why not indeed what we need is this funny to invest we are not going to give this money to. Companies who is no Strings Attached we want this money to be invested in making the european economy moral bus and more resilient and if that is the case or maybe indeed all the industries can become greener and if they want to be going green and fine whether green can theres no you mentioned there will be wont be well received in hungary or for example or republic. Does this crisis show that the cohesion and solidarity in the e. U. Is waning. Well when he shows his. Profound lack of trust among european Leaders Division some of the people indeed. Google crises what you see centrist is being destroyed in massive quantities and we need no in an emergency situation to rebuild trust and of course its better to enter a crisis. Of trust its made him a little bit again its in everyones interest to call response and im sure that he can he talk about understand because he has been on the receiving end of my seat here and friends over the last few decades and i mean im sure that if he has a choice between getting these money flowing to the country Strings Attached. And getting no money i have no idea where his heart will be for the. President of the european greenstock you very much for joining us tonight my pleasure and i see. Time now for a quick roundup of some of the other stories making headlines around the world today after a 5 day manhunt German Police have arrested a heavily armed fugitive in the countrys black forest authorities launched a search for the 31 year old after he does armed 4 officers at gunpoint and fled into the woods near the town of open now last sunday.

Beirut citizens have taken matters into their own hands putting up cables and massive electricity generators and Energy Shortage is the latest consequence of lebanons economic crisis during the pandemic its a huge challenge for hospitals in particular at flood kori hospital generators run 20 hours a day. When. We are constantly trying to get the so we are already rationing it. In pains me to say but we beg for diesel. In the hardest thing is that we have to pay for it in cash. Cash here no more diesel means no more electricity and no electricity means no operations. But the rising demand for diesel is pushing up its price with the Energy Crisis causing an increase in prices across the board many people in lebanon are falling into poverty. We only take the cheapest thing in small amounts. Everything has become so expensive and its beyond our means.

Youre watching the news still to come a symbol of racism or a sign of respect the german town of course grapples with its cultural legacy as protest builds against its coat of arms. But 1st we have to cuba the country wants to allow why the use of the u. S. Dollar as it also tackle a Major Economic crisis has less to shortages the communist countries heavily controlled economy was already struggling with u. S. Sanctions and the economic collapse of its socialist ally venezuela before the covert 19 pandemic made things much worse. Currency is complicated in cuba the communist state has to pesos and convertible pesos but its u. S. Dollars that people really want. They are needed to pay for foreign goods vital in a country beset by shortages to that end the government has widened the category of products dollars can buy. It has also removed a 10 percent tax on their use. Seething it will despite the hostility that persists in the United States government with the implementation of measures that intensify the economic blockade. It has been decided to end the 10 percent tax on incoming cash dollars to the Banking System and if they were going to stand with them up bank got it. But not everyone here has access to dollars tourism is at a standstill due to the pandemic while many u. S. Firms are banned from doing business in cuba. Yet it not the issue now was where are we going to get u. S. Dollars were a country that is under a blockade where will the dollars come from foreigners arent coming in there is no way of getting u. S. Dollars when i said this. For those who can get them though this is good news and not just because of the tax code for now only goods such as Home Appliances and cars could be bought with them now it will include food. Prostitution is one of several trades that have been shut down in germany since the start of the coronavirus although brothels and massage followers have officially been shuttered since mid march many sex workers carry on illegally and thats putting them and their clients at risk brothel owners point out and say they can offer a safe environment. No sex just information lower us girls in the southwestern german town of its using an open house to raise awareness that it has been shut for 4 months during the pandemic with many prostitutes working illegally to make ends meet. Well. You know legality always means im protected spaces no matter the situation if she sees a client in a dark corner and something happens she can protect yourself she cant go to the police because shes working illegally. Around 33000 prostitutes are registered in germany most work in clubs but there are far more working illegally and that number is growing due to pandemic restrictions. Laura says brothels can stick to strict hygiene rules social distancing compulsory mask wearing during erotic massage just even customer registration. We have regular customers to call up and want to make an appointment and its no problem to note down their number of. Brothels are dangerous sources of infection according to a group of 16 members of parliament they are against the reopening and in the long term want to ban prostitution with help given to women forced to leave the profession monk undeposited you cant ban prostitution without offering prostitutes something that allows them to earn a livelihood retraining makes sense there are other jobs small inns and doesnt belong. In this barrel and brothel they see that as unrealistic instead they are calling for better working conditions for board to get those type of bands generally and coronavirus shows this dont stop prostitution it finds its way to all countries at all times there are enough people who practice it and enough to make use of the service mentioned does and im sure many. Brian land platen it is the 1st german state to discuss reopening brothels in order to help those affected on condition of nationwide approval and low infection rates. Inspires them tommy i think results as a society in general we have a problem that we have an ambivalent and divided relationship to prostitution and there i see the danger that some people even want to use the pandemic as leverage to question prostitution as a whole and that really as long. So will brussels reopen soon at lower us girls theyre well prepared. To bring in some more headlines because alone is Regional Government has urging barcelona residents to stay home and avoid meeting in large groups to help stem a new surge in corona virus infections Authorities Say the measures are meant to avoid having to pose a mandatory lockdown.

For some reason world wide antiracism protests have fueled a heated discussion over a number of public objects monuments and street names here in germany once perceived as honorable today some of them are considered offensive so who decides what stays and what goes and hows that decision made one german town is grappling with that very question right now. Picturesque in bavaria. The towns striking coat of arms depicts the socalled more of coburg the emblem is now at the center of a heated controversy opponents call it a symbol of racism but many residents are mystified. Nix is there really nothing else to worry about weve got bigger problems than the coburg more this is what hes the patron saint of coburg and i find this whole discussion out of order. That the i mean hes never said anyone can stay as it is the crest date back to the middle ages when black people were often described as morse today the term is viewed as derogatory but its not intended to be demeaning according to coburg historian who battles harbor the emblem features st marie a black christian night he was martyred and is now come emirate hid. In. My answer to that extent i think the word more is ok. And the representation of a black man as the symbol of coburg is absolutely fine. Its an expression of esteem and veneration for the saint. Thats not a view shared by 2 young billionaires who started an online petition against coburg coat of arms elysia archie is a originally from the area for her calling a black man a more is no longer acceptable in the light of the black lives Matter Movement and especially not a figure with thick lips and a caribbean style earring. That you and i dont mind that suggests to some that all black people and all africans look the same a complete nonsense for a continent where people look totally different from one another. Others find something exotic in it a ferocity that has to do with savage peoples. Its a racist portrayal that should not be allowed to continue cant quite say im that this man steps in. The town council is irritated by the debate and hes not giving any interviews on this objectively. The answer could be just to change the description says this resident. Hes got a name after all murray why shouldnt it be the coburg nourishes pharmacy nourishes streatch that sounds better how do you measure culture what is racist its not easy to find the right balance especially not in coburg.
