johnson at the moment is still leading the government however we have seen especially in the last week and even with those newspapers who have so far been very loyal with the conservative party government we have seen a lot of criticism of the british government's response to the virus that they have started too late a day have for example put breck said before breathing that was one criticism that the government hasn't participated in the e.u. scheme to purchase more ventilators and we've heard from doctors on the frontline that they feel that they are not really protected enough there's not enough protective equipment there's not enough tests to test patients and also to test frontline staff in the hospital so yes has been not an easy week for the government when it came to their response to the crisis you know because one of the biggest mass reporting from london there's been a surge in coronavirus cases in japan with over 1000 infections in the capital took your no one

coronavirus the government's crisis committee is meeting today to discuss the supply of medical protective and possible stricter border controls the number of available intensive care beds has also been brought into question by the country's central we just. did a correspondent hounds run to joins me now from up bottom entry studios good to see you hans what can we expect will come out of the job one cabinets crisis committee meeting today. we expect their mangy 3 decisions 1st will involve further financial add for ailing german companies although germany has put made available hundreds of billions of euro's appears not to be enough yet the 2nd decision concerns border controls at the german border there are already several bordering countries with whom the board german border has been more or less closed and there are proposals of these so called trolls on german borders should not be extended to all other countries bordering germany that concerns mainly countries in the east such as potent and the czech republic and then there is a question of the supply the very limited supply of protective equipment for people in medical and other care professions in germany germany has been struggling as have many other countries to supply enough mosques to gowns and gloves for people working in specially serious situations and the cabinet is going to try and increase the supplies in some way or another supplies for frontline medical workers we need to speak about that and still on the line because the health care workers in germany like in other countries are struggling to keep up with the physical and emotional toll of fighting the virus the city of i inspect in the west was one of the 1st in germany to be hit by the pandemic announced at a hospital in the city described the deed battles being fought in the wards. a protective mask is absolutely vital here intensive care nurse alexandra webb and her team are also required to wear gloves and a protective

our flows better into his lungs a corona virus infection can lead to fight for survival i intend this but with intensive care patients you're supposed to be ready for an emergency 247 on the alert around the clock i believe that the disease is simply unpredictable. i guess his profession that. she hears the constant beeping sound throughout her working day right now there are 6 coronavirus patients in the intensive care unit the nurses here are working up to 20 hours of overtime every week but despite all efforts they sometimes lose patients and this can be tough. to model the scottish demand him when we feel powerless we stand there and don't know how to treat them. divison it should be come up there haven't been any proper studies this is something totally new and we do our best sometimes it's not enough. best own. mantra mission. as the motto of the squad i'm. alexandra webb is not allowed to let relatives visit the coronavirus patients and this makes us sad. that. with time we learn how to cope with it but honestly this is overwhelming it's hard and. alexander webb and her colleagues have put together an emergency plan in case there are more patients she knows her team must persevere people need them like never before hans what is the feeling among medical workers in germany do they feel they are getting adequate support from the government. well it's a little bit of a contradictory situation at the moment the kind of high intensity situation that we've just seen in that report is still the exception in germany there are still many bits that are available that are empty at the moment and as a result there's not so much work in hospitals at the moment other elective operations have been. put off at the at the moment so there is not this kind of exhaustion yet in german hospitals at the same time all hospitals are struggling to get protective equipment to get monsta get guns to get gloves for people that are working with infected cases that is a something that is of great concern to hospital workers and to care workers all over germany it's something that they have been putting a lot of pressure on the on the german government that something needs to be done and it's likely that the german crisis cut committee cabinet that is in fact making decisions on this today is likely to somehow improve the situation i'm glad merkel the chancellor is set to announce what the cabinet has decided later this afternoon and the finance minister and the economics minister are also going to be speaking to the public about this so i think we can expect that the situation may well improve within the next week or 2 on front of political correspondent thank you very much for that. apple has been by revealed it's been making protective equipment for
