To our viewers on p. B. S. In the United States and all around the world welcome to 9 to as World Leaders send messages of support to britains Prime MinisterBoris Johnson remains in stable condition in intensive care at a London Hospital johnson spent 12 days in isolation after testing positive for the corona virus and he was admitted on sunday evening to the hospital because his symptoms were simply not going away. On monday after a night in hospital paris johnson insisted there was no cause for concern. But just hours later his condition had deteriorated. As we speak bronzer is in intensive care being looked after his medical Team Receiving the very very best care from a team of sentences the hopes and prayers are with him and with his family downing street says johnson is conscious and includes spirits hes getting oxygen support but hes not on a ventilator. My thoughts are with him and his family because of the see its a very worrying time theyre. Going to suffer what incentive because its very seriously going to take care im obviously never a great breakfast. He might have been taking it seriously i can fake people who are normally healthy but including myself i think its probably a wake up call to well i think if youre in the best of attention i only hope that the rest of the British Population get the same attention but unfortunately it will be the case will live. In the meantime foreign secretary dominic robb has taken over the Prime Ministers jews. World leaders have been sending messages of support. Sending my best wishes to Prime MinisterBarak Johnson for a full and speedy recovery my thoughts are with you and your family right now i hope to see you back at number 10 soon hang in there Prime Minister hope to see you out of hospital and in Perfect Health very crn. Get well soon Boris Johnson thinking of you your family and all our u. K. Friends at the stuffed time. Queen elizabeth has also sent a message to johnsons family and his pregnant fiance Kerry Simmons wishing the Prime Minister a full recovery ministers have faced calls to be more transparent i made concerns they under played how serious johnsons condition was. For many its another reminder that the corona virus does not discriminate well tonight the death toll in the u. K. From this pandemic now stands at more than 6000. 00 the number of confirmed coronavirus cases is much higher and that figure includes Prime MinisterBoris Johnson as cross now to our correspondent show at the parts shes on the story for us tonight in london good evening to you show us what is the latest on the condition of the Prime Minister. Well the Prime Minister remains an intensive care at st thomass hospital its one of the best hospitals in the United Kingdom just across the river from downing street and he is receiving oxygen treatment as weve just heard and he does not have pneumonia downing street said and hes not on a mechanical ventilator at this point so this is all we know from downing street from the officials at this point but of course. This government has not been very transparent with its information and the past so this leaves many british people worried about their Prime Minister at this point youre worried about their Prime Minister and worried about who was actually running the country the admission of the president to the hospital on sunday left the foreign secretary Dominique Robb in charge what do we know about him and talk to me a little bit about the role he is now having to play. Well in the beginning of the crisis he was asked to deputize for Boris Johnson should he become incapacitated and that has now happened he is a newcomer to government he doesnt have much experience hes a foreign secretary and hes been on johnsons cabinet because he was a breakfast that so porta now he will have to unite the government at this very critical time really and when asked what kind of authority he has to run the country at this point today in the press conference that he did not give a clear answer he said its a collective responsibility and it really left the impression that there is a lack of leadership at this very very critical time for the United Kingdom theres been criticism for instance. Of testing for medical staff in the u. K. What is the state of the countrys response to this pandemic tonight. Well its been very slow to begin with the Prime Minister took this crisis lightly that is for sure and the restrictions on public life here came a little too late to stop the spread of the virus so the death toll is rising the cases rising at this point and the number of people admitted to the hospital is this rising so london really is a hot spot at the moment and hospital beds are filling up quickly we are hearing from doctors and nurses that theyve never seen scenes like this before that they have becoming overwhelmed and that it is very hard on them and fracking as well the problem of testing you mentioned testing is only done for severe cases in the hospital so the unrecorded number of cases is incredibly high and there as well not tracked and then theres the issue of ventilators there just not enough ventilators at this point british industry is producing them but the question is will they be ready in time for really the peak of the Virus Outbreak here. Right chill out of whats on the story for us in london with the latest on the Prime Ministers condition sheila thank you well it was another grim day for new york as the citys death toll from the coronavirus soared close to 3500. 00 now despite that the governor of new york andrew cuomo says that the number of deaths in the city and the city of new york appear to be leveling off and that it shows that social distancing is working but quote those upbeat assessment it did not stop the pain of those in the overstretched hospitals whether as patients or as medical professionals. New york fishies doctors work around the clock to save lives that makeshift hospitals like this one the governors daily messages are sounding increasingly bleak more people in the city have now died from kovac 19 of them perished in the september 11th terrorist attacks in 2001 tuesdays number of was especially grim 731 people dead the largest daily number of record it so far. Behind every one of those numbers is an individual is a fairly mothers and fathers are sisters or brothers so a lot of pain. Again today for many new yorkers this speed of destruction has been staggering new york city back to start its 1st infection only 6 weeks ago since then it has become the national at the center of a tragedy that is playing out around the world. Attention to have been drawn to the leadership of u. S. President donald trump with many criticizing him for ignoring Scientific Evidence and failing to present a coordinated response. Mean while the economic consequences are already painfully apparent for a leader who has been keen to judge his performance against the cost of the stock market as the Economic Outlook can be described as nothing less than disastrous. The staggering numbers there are financial. New York Stock Exchange good afternoon to you. The governor of new york declaring this the deadliest day for the state of the city since this pandemic began but you would know that if you were looking at the performance of the markets today why news there. Well clearly grim news some out of new york on one side but what investors saw on wall street were betting on where weve ports that the rate of new cases seems to be slowing and then wall street is not necessarily doing was has happened or what is happening but what investors believe will happen but overall the market was up at some point by more than 900. 00 points of the Dow Jones Industrial average but we lost all of those gains in the last minutes of trading because wall street might be too optimistic at this point in regards to the Economic Impact of this crisis and so therefore all the gains that we saw earlier on vanished in the final minutes of trading and yes the u. S. Treasury secretary says he needs another 250000000000. 00 for these Small Business loan program and were just getting a report j. P. Morgan says there have been 375000 applications in that i mean those numbers are astronomical. They are extra nomic ill and in the 1st faces so to speak about 2 weeks ago we got this relief pitcher the pickets for Small Business owners in the amount of 350000000000. 00 and obviously there is a high demand for that and i thought maybe by the end of the week we might get those additional 250000000000. 00 if approved by the senate well overall Small Business owners and Small Businesses are the backbone of the u. S. Economy when it comes to employment but also to Economic Growth therefore its crucial to safe those Small Companies those small firms either way even with those loans it is pretty likely that the Unemployment Rate meanwhile will be. Reaching at double digits and that we will see millions of jobs getting lost in the next couple of days and weeks but this program could be crucial to help those Small Business owners 375000 applications i mean thats there that the economy is definitely in need of major help in the new York Stock Exchange in new york thank you yes well finance ministers in the European Union have been holding Coronavirus Crisis talks by Video Conference today theyre trying to stave off a looming recession and theyve agreed to finalize a rescue plan for Member States worst hit by this pandemic on the table is a safety net worth half a trillion euros but there are deep divisions about the best way to spend this money. Think outside of the box that is what Council President michelle told euro zone finance ministers this appears to be the result 3 potential measures to breathe life into europes virus hit economy. First the e. U. Adapts its bailout fund with the firepower of 410000000000. 00 europes that pot safe to greece during the financial crisis secondly an extra 200000000000. 00 euros in loans for small and Medium Sized Companies from the European Investment bank. And finally a short time work scheme suggested by the e. U. Commission worth 100000000000 euros it would encourage companies to cut workers hours not their jobs hard hit nations such as spain and italy welcome the idea but they say they need more socalled corona bonds a new type of public debt instrument backed by the euro zone so far germany austria finland and the netherlands strongly oppose the idea but Financial Experts going to involve tells me the positions on mutual i stepped have been softening so this should not be seen as a backdoor entrance for a fiscal union because if it is that i think it would be not acceptable to the north of europe i mean the north of europe does not want a Permanent Transfer union to be created so it needs to be in a sense temporary and targeted to the coronavirus cost but if that is achieved i think dead joint debt issuance should be feasible french finance minister lemaire already floated the idea for a common fund and dutch Prime Minister hueter also has a plan one offering grants to those in need rather than a low. Plenty of material for an outside the box solution whatever is agreed by the finance ministers goes to e. U. Leaders for another Video Conference later in the month arliss full in our even responded to file that report here want to see joins me now from brussels meeting to you again org these finance ministers they really dont have a choice here they have to find Common Ground on this is an unprecedented crisis where are they in that pursuit right now brenda meeting started an hour late and ministers during the meeting took an hour break from the meeting and the reason is they had a lot of bilateral meetings a lot of talk on the sidelines of video extra Video Conferences taking place between Member States so a real effort here to find a solution find an answer an economic on search or the through the problems that europe faces theres good news and bad news the bad news is there are a divisive issue of corona bombs weve heard in the report and the good news is ministers will only have to file a list to state leaders and they do not have to have full backing on all the bullet points on that list and it makes you wonder i mean hell firm are the rules that govern the e. U. In the eurozone you know this to 3 percent of g. D. P. Budget deficit rules thats been thrown out the window and whos to say that the same thinking is not going to apply to euro bonds for example i mean is there anything keeping these rules intact. Brand limits on public borrowing have been scrapped. More than 3 weeks ago and now that theres no more rules on state aid for a company said i remember the 2 of us talking in a number of lifes during that era summit over the key issue of how important the european stability pact is how important how many rouse were there over sticking to those rules and now all of this is history what the e. U. Tries to do here is not only provide actual help that is needed on the ground but also provide reassurance to the world to show that europe is prepared to take all the measures that are needed its in order to support the european economy yes hes like a different world we were talking during those e. U. Summit and it wasnt that long ago either in brussels go thank you. Think well here are some of the other headlines that are making news this hour thousands flocked to leave the chinese city of rouhani as authorities lifted a more than 2 month long travel ban in the city where the coronavirus pandemic began the skyline was lit up to celebrate the end of the walk down. By japanese Prime Minister shinzo abi he declared a state of emergency today to stop the spread of the corona virus in his country the measure is in place across tokyo and 6 other perfect years authorities will now have more power to order citizens to stay at home and to close businesses. Germany is planning to accept 50 unaccompanied minors from migrant camps on the greek islands the children are to be brought to germany as early as next week after their arrival theyll be quarantined for 2 weeks 7 other European Union countries have also agreed to accept minors from the overcrowded migrant camps germanys Largest Airlines of tonsil is shrinking its fleet and closing down its Budget Airline subsidiary german weeds its part of a major restructuring as the travel industry grapples with the coronavirus. Says it hopes to find jobs elsewhere in the company for german wings stale. What with the coronavirus still claiming lives and paralyzing societies all around the world it might not seem to be the right moment to talk about lifting any lockdowns but denmark is about to begin doing just that today the Danish Government announced that it will begin lifting restrictions after easter albeit very slowly. For about 4 weeks its been quiet on the streets of denmark now the restrictions on public life are to be dial down people in copenhagen have mixed feelings. If i think its too early such. As this to put in my opinion its the right thing to do and im not worried that its too soon for what it was of course there is discussion of whether infections will rise but i think its a good move yes what about the biggest step is the reopening of kindergartens and schools off the east but only certain classes an age groups will be allowed back Strict Home Office rules for private Sector Workers are also being relaxed the governments reasoning for the move the number of coated 19 patients in hospitals is beginning to fall or so newsman to them is the message from our Health Ministry is that it is reasonable and appropriate to begin a controlled reopening of the country. But it comes with conditions that we all continue to keep our distance. Wash our hands him and avoid groups of people from. Denmarks borders will remain closed until at least the 10th of may and the ban on lodge of vents and festivals will stay in place until the end of august. I want to pull my colleague reporter page every dollar we have to let our viewers know peter help us from the great country of denmark its good to see you peter so tell me how in the world was denmark able to get this outbreak under control so quickly. Well brian i think denmark had a couple of things right when it was very quick to react so we saw the 1st case reported back on february 27th less than 2 weeks after it went ahead and the government went ahead and shut everything down schools food restaurants Daycare Centers it closed its borders put very tight travel restrictions in place. Then ordered everyone to stay home and work from home except for the these you know. Emergency workers that obviously have you know helped the country and the Health Care System and gatherings of 10 people more in post heavy fines so there was also a big stick. Another thing it did right was carried out its carried out a high level of testing so last week we saw about over 2000 tests per day now were looking at about 10000. 00 test because its also including these tests you know to include people with mild symptoms. Experts say that they could be looking at about 15000. 00 tests next week. So that has resulted in a very low level of infections were looking at less than 5000. 00 just over 200. 00 deaths mortality rate of 4 percent that is a 3rd of what were looking at it in italy thats half of what were seeing in france in the u. K. But my friend i have to say you know used to working with a big stick did mark if theres a lot of love for did mark denmark is a small country is remodeled that didnt mark has created here do you think that its something that can be copied by other countries now that are trying to escape the nightmare of this pandemic. Its a great question is a very important one because i mean obviously would be great to be able to say you know just you know shut down everything and do a lot of testing its not quite quite as easy as that denmark is in a very privileged position a lot of ways its a very wealthy countries it has one of the worlds best functioning Health Care System and it has health care universal health care which means that everyone is getting the care that they need politically its a social democracy so theres a high level of trust in the Government People actually believe that the Government Works for them you know the government has arent that trust by being very transparent communi katyn clearly from day one nearly 80 percent of the public approves of the governments handling compared that to the us were a majority disapprove of trying tamping and many people dont trust him there that is fatal in crises like this so it is hard to replicate everything that denmark has it specially under you know during a crisis but i think there are important lessons for government to learn to be transparent earn the Publics Trust that really helps save lives in a crisis like these i mean it is a good time to be a danish citizen. In this week i would have to say peter rollerball bringing us the latest from his here in berlin but from his home country of denmark peter thank you. It was sports news now of motor racing formula one bosses have taken a pay cut and laid off nearly half of their staff because of the coronavirus pandemic Senior Management including chairman chase carey have taken a 20 percent pay cut similar move has been made in the last few days by 3. 00 formula one teams including Williams Mclaren and recent point formula one has had to cancel several reeses this seems and is struggling to deal with the Financial Impact of the pandemic. Or earlier we spoke to former formula one World Champion nico rosberg he says rescuing the season will require creativity including quite literally a change of direction i hope that they can still stage a couple of races maybe they can become a love it creates a double header on weekends where maybe on a saturday it goes one way and sunny goes the other way around the racetrack. Here but the problem is now nobody knows when the 1st race is going to be held of course it helps that we can help hold races without spectators that will allow some races to happen sooner because that will allow us to that with the limitations of not having more than 100 people in one place or something that races can still be held so thats the advantage apart from that the Biggest Issue at the moment is the financial situation for some of the smaller teams because the f one circus needs all teams to participate if 2 or 3 smaller teams drop out then its not really a great sport anymore is not enough teams getting another not even on the grid so that is the main focus at the moment to help the smaller teams financially. And that was nico rosberg speaking with us earlier over many christians around the world this coming sunday will be an easter unlike any in living memory in countries with walk downs and stay at home orders people are left to celebrate with no Church Services no family gatherings and no easter egg hunts for the children but wait who said that the easter bunny is also under lockdown who said that the easter bunny isnt essential in these trying times or tonight our sources are telling us that peter cottontail may just be hopping down the bunny trail this weekend. Youll be placed in our that we do consider both the tooth fairy and the easter bunny to be essential with his New Zealanders obviously take their easter seriously so did the swiss where many of this years batch of chocolate bunnies are dressed in protective masks that way they stay safe on their way to their customers mouths. This may look like a medical laboratory but its an italian chocolate egg factory the owner has rolled with the new challenges of distributing eggs during the Coronavirus Crisis. Within just a few can be in a go since we couldnt sell them in stores we ship them out there were more orders than ever before with just a figure and a possible and i guess. Going on shit on my startup and. In greece dr bunnies can even bring in candy medical equipment their diagnoses are not considered reliable though. In case people eat too much of the sweet stuff just remember ardern has allowed the tooth fairy to continue its rounds as well.
