well downing street is saying that boris 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 to late a day have for example put breck's it 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 to democrats on a big bastard reporting from london japan's prime minister shinzo our bases his government plans to declare a state of emergency as early as tuesday the announcement comes after a surge in coronavirus cases in japan with over $1000.00 infections in tokyo alone the proposed measure includes a one trillion dollar stimulus package it falls short of a strict lockdown though many local authorities are already urging people to stay at home. talk use normally bustling streets are deserted starting this past weekend people are supposed to stay at home they got them in the spiriting citizens only to head out when absolutely necessary. what is necessary mean what is important there's a lot of room for interpretation. if we can't go right we can't get food supplies people a panic buying already. japan's 1st concern coronavirus case was a myth generator at 1st it was only a few cases but the number of new infections has risen exponentially in the last 2 weeks. there's been heated discussions about how tough the government action should be. in a bank i know a lot of it came through we haven't reached the point where we need to declare a state of emergency we can still avoid that about the situation remains critical if you want to go through to going through it in a fun like germany which has tested half a 1000000 people a week for the virus japan has only tested around half a 1000000 in total many doctors say that's not enough. as they should last in the. mire. there is. no bridge. another big concern is the impact on business activity japan the world's 3rd biggest economy is already on the brink of a recession. and there are some other headlines making news this our bread the

millions of indians have switched off the lights and lit candles in a show of solidarity in the fight against the coronavirus families confined to their homes by a nationwide locked out gathered at their doors and windows india has seen a rise in covert 1000 cases in recent days to more than 3500. a tiger at the bronx zoo in new york city has a confirmed coronavirus infection it's the 1st stone case of covert 19 in an animal in the united states or in a tiger and us the 4 year old female tiger had developed a dry cough but is expected to make a full recovery yet in germany the number of confirmed cases has crossed the 100000 mark with the caseload rising the government's crisis team has been meeting to decide the way forward officials are now recommending a 2 week bottom chain for people returning to the country office of days abroad the suggested measure will apply to germans e.u. citizens and people who have lived in germany for many years checks are already in place at several of germany's borders more financial aid for middle sized companies as well as the procurement of protective gear a set to be announced need to. political correspondent hans brahms has been following developments he joins me now from a palm tree studios could you see. how do the quarantine measures agreed by the german cabin to differ with what is currently in place. frankly that's at the moment pretty difficult to say because these measures are recommendations by the central government to the federal states and the federal states themselves in fact have to implement them and decide how exactly they're going to implement them in their area of competence at the moment what's happening is that at several borders between germany and neighboring states that already more or less closed people who enter through those border posts and also through airports for instance to return to germany have to agree to stay at home isolate themselves quarantine themselves for 2 weeks or in some other way prove that they are going to be able to control the spread of an infection if they should themselves be unfit infected so we're not sure whether these new rules mean a strict implementation of this quarantine or whether they're simply extending these rules to countries and borders fate federal states and borders to which that did not apply so far and there's also a point of financial aid for middle sized companies not the german government had announced financial support for businesses earlier as well as that proved insufficient is i think many of middle of the many of the middle sized companies have said that even though the aid is well come the strings attached to it are still too onerous too difficult in those cases it concerns loans for companies and repaying those lands is becoming a lot more difficult as this try a crisis drags on so now the german government is taking over a lot of the responsibility rather than leaving the risk with the banks as a result the loans will become more easy to get from middle sized companies on stay with us because that is of course another aspect to the corner of us of big of you do need to talk about the plight of health workers working on the front line the city of heinsberg invest your money with one of the 1st in the country to be hit by the virus a nurse at a hospital in the city described the dea battles being fought in its wards. it's. a protective mask is absolutely vital here intensive care nurse alexandra webb and her team are also required to wear gloves and a protective overcoat when they treat covert 19 patients one of the patients in the isolation unit is severely ill he's been given artificial respiration to health care workers turned him onto his belly so that our flows better into his lungs a corona virus infection can lead to a fight for survival thank you is this moment in this button 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. and that his profession. 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 there's something totally new and we do our best and sometimes it's not enough my father's best own. my mission. as the model of the squad i'm. alexandra webb is not allowed to let relatives visit the coronavirus patients and this makes a sad. moment at the time and with time we learn how to cope with it but honestly this is overwhelming it's hard. alexander webb and her colleagues have put together an emergency plan in case there are more patients she knows how t. must pass to via people who need them like never before. another cabinet has also decided to procure more protective gear for frontline medical workers such as the kind you just saw there the report where even the supplies come from that is very very much open there have been proposals by some of the leaders here in germany that germany should increase drastically its own capacity to manufacture such protective gear mosque's over all the gloves that kind of thing that's something that certainly can be done by the company don a very short notice and that is a crisis situation really in many hospitals many many hospitals as well as other care units are critically short of such equipment and as we all know there is a world wide attempt to get at these kinds of supplies and there is a competition around the world that at times has been getting pretty ugly i think with the bids kind of reportedly on the apron of an airport next to a container containing such equipment so it's a very difficult situation presumably germany will try to increase its own capacity to manufacture these things and we'll try to control a lot more carefully who gets such equipment why there is still the shortage and i think then the frontline staff will be the 1st to get such equipment. thank you very much for that. you're watching the news for member you can also get the
