And beaten up and illegally deported to human Rights Groups accuse police in greece of physically assaulting migrants and forcing them back into. The Office Welcome to the program more than 5000000 people are now known to be infected with the coronavirus new infections are easing any europe and the u. S. But experts say a 2nd wave is inevitable in latin america new cases are surgeon brazil which reports of the continents 1st case back in february is seeing the most new cases on. Wednesday alone the country recorded almost 20000 new infections if the trend continues its likely that brazil could soon have the 2nd highest number of cases in the world. Im not joined by a Christian Lynn my from the World Health Organization in Geneva Christian the w. H. O. Says 106000 new cases have been reported in the last 24 hours the most in a single day since the outbreak began as lock down restrictions i eased in many places was still far from out of the wood zoe. Didnt realize good day to you. If we look at the Global Trends we do not see a decrease we actually see a small incline still and that shows us that 6 seche as you just mention the going down of segas in Central Europe and also in some other parts of the world is not the complete picture its not that if we chart also like turning off the faucet and then suddenly just drops cases and while the cases continue in action we will see more cases and many other countries who have been only starting to be hit by the virus now and who may have a weak the Health System d especially the case because this way you need to include instead of polarizing you need to include everything from the Health System people to the economy only then can you win this fight just mentioned brazil the situation there seems to be worsening significantly where else do you expect such as collations. Once fortunately out 1st of all to see that countries little middle and come country is also enough acuff may certainly be problematic. And so also the rest of left america. Because these countries only start to see cases now and remember were talking about a window d of opportunity for about 2 months that we can prepare these countries and these countries can prepare themselves to help them to equip so get the tests ready to get the hospitals ready to get everything ready what they need. A lot has been done more than 132. 00 countries have received the receives assistance from the world of the sanctions but it will still seem to be receiving face it will of course another reason for increasing cases will need that countries as they start using the Lockdown People will start mixing again moved on holidays one starts up being in contact again and so on so we should expect a rising cases again. The european the European Unions virus response chief says europe pass a prepared for a 2nd wave when does the w. H. O. Expect that in europe. I think dont think we can call it on one of them wave will be should not look from one way what this wave means that uptake on the us another rise on the relapse in cases that we have been seeing rocks and taysachs off the baby increases half on balance. With all the easing off of measures now and. Communicating and says it will increase in physical context of people again we will see a rise in cases and you know this is the 2nd wave everybody is talking about they may not all be at the same time its maybe their sons from country to country or from region to region but a rise a secondary or 3rd 3rd rising cases is very likely.

German ally loved ones us confirmed its close to sealing the deal with the German Government to secure a 9000000000 euro carona rescue package the airline and its subsidiaries have been hit hard by the coronavirus in april the group was carrying fewer than 3000 passengers a day compared with a preplanned demick average of around 350000. The deal is the culmination of weeks of wrangling between chancellor Angela Merkels c. D. U. Conservatives and theyre saying to lift junior partners in the s. P. D. Over the details of any live tons of bailout probusiness politicians in miracles conservative c. D. U. Party had fought against increased state involvement in lieu of towns up but the social Democratic Party wanted a bigger stake that would allow berlin to influence live tons of buses over potential job cuts or environmental targets. Goal of tons a life raft is a 9000000000 euro package 3000000000 would be a loan from state Investment Bank a f w the German Government would take a 20 percent stake in the company as well as a convertible bond worth 5 percent that would make it possible for the state to block a hostile takeover it would be the 1st time the government has held a stake in the form of flag carrier since 997 economy minister peter my as said earlier in my i was part of germanys family silver and thats really in wanted to avoid a fire sale of valuable firms some of the social democrats goals will be met with 2 state appointed seats on the towns a Supervisory Board as well as conditions for future Dividend Payments and restrictions on manager bonuses look comes on must hold an Extraordinary Shareholder Meeting to decide on whether to accept the deal as competition watchdog the European Commission must also give its blessing to the rescue before it can go ahead. Join in the studio by seeking visit from Business Department stephen is this a good day or bad day for the. Its also a good day in your business is rescued imagine how much theyve suffered because of the crowd of ours because of the travel restrictions and its obviously a great day for the employees 135000 who know that they can hopefully hold on a little bit longer the big. Question is really its a bad day when you look the fact that now you have the state as your biggest stakeholder and thats not what in the business wants or specially one of the sides and especially at this moment in germany when you have the state as a stakeholder the of the public as a stakeholder in what is the german public interested in these days environmentalism more and more and more and well before the coronavirus there was a focus on Airline Travel as the major emitter of c o 2 and so what happens when for example the green party for example when they go into the Coalition Government maybe 23 years from now what will be the pressure on them to make changes within the times of thats why you see that the government has a big stake or it doesnt have Voting Rights with tons of fell more comfort without it also puts the state a very particular position or very sort of awkward position as well people demand that they do something if the tuns are really does things happen there that they dont like but that they also was a position to this was and you know there is opposition obviously from climate activists or at least those climate activists demanding that if the state is going to do it and they really use it to to make more changes ryan theres of from the competition for example ryanair pointing out that hey you know sure would be nice if everyone had the weight of German Government behind them because when you look at you nations of course germany has deep pockets and good books that we cant afford to push its companies more and for the same reason the e. U. Has also said weve got to watch out about how much germany is going Sports Companies germany has. Boss why not just loan them 9000000000 euros why why why by the state i mean essentially thats what this is this is the collateral for a loan but if you look at the us for example theyve theyve theyve done grants theyve given their Airlines Money and. Thats something that they say look were going to come back to us in payroll in this case i think the pressure was there for them to actually take a stake from the other political factors here saying if you going to do this then we need to have some sort of steerage ability we need to have some weight there and also i think. Look at the history of german business state relations business Labor Relations there is more of a call for social responsibility when this is going to play any role so its not really so much of a surprise here but still not very good news for the. Other germans the only one true to rescuing the fact her is for sure not i mean as i mention in the us this is something that they have believed there 3 or 4 Biggest Airlines southwest Delta United Airlines among them theyve all received major bailouts most of that in grants as i said but the u. S. Government is actually taking parts steak as well just very minor though so its not going to be the same steak youre seeing here in germany. Thank you very much. Greek police have been accused of beating up the migrants and illegally deporting them back to turkey reports that Security Forces physically assaulted migrants emerged earlier this year when thousands gathered in border areas after turkey encouraged them to travel to europe but not in w. And other investigative reporters have been able to confirm some stories of abuse and illegal the potations after tracking down victims in turkey they allege Police Arrested them without a warrant and forced them on 2 boats back to turkey. Now schmidt says one of the coauthors of that report and joins us now from the greek city of saloniki florian what have you been hearing from the migrants who say theyve been beaten by police. Or local gather with our partners like me or yelling and theyve got she was how we were able to locate migrants in turkey who basically told us they were arrested by creek police under false pretenses saying they would be issued no papers and they were taken in almost all of them say that the police confiscated their phones and other personal belongings some told us it was violence involved and then they say that they were brought in and then to the everest river between turkey and greece where they were put on dinghies and pushed back to the turkish side where at the end of march our turkey correspondent you interviewed refugees at the Turkish Border dawn of it during air and found people with some similar stories thats just briefly listening. In the store through the recruiters were from afghanistan and weve been working here in turkey for 3 to 4 years or situation is very bad here through we crossed into greece in order to go to europe we waited for 3 to 4 days at the border and then we had to thessaloniki there the greek police beat us and sent us back here you know just on nobody to the greek police took off all our clothes last night we only had boxer shorts not a. Nothing left on a lot to hit us again and again with the still to view and go to your come on telling you they told us to lay down like that when we did they beat it is it decided to get out and then they hit us again in the gulf. For and those are pretty strong accusations has there been any official response from the greek government we did get a response the government of course denies everything they call the allegations regarding Human Rights Violations by greek Law Enforcement personnel fabricated and false interesting though they also say that the measures taken so far have been proportionate to the gravity off the situation great medias eagleton you gentle aggressive surveillance the conservative government here is under a lot of pressure to manage the migrant situation in greece many greeks feel like the country is doing their dirty work for europe maintaining the infamous hot spots on the island and the us support the government even with such drastic measures like pushbacks would also be wrong to scapegoat greece in this situation since brussels has not managed to come up with a sustainable solution for the migrant situation for and the ball a situation was difficult enough before the coronavirus what impact has the pandemic had on the situation that. The question is much rather how does corona affect the situation within the country the border between between greece and turkey is officially closed all official dipper taishan procedures are on hold at the same time the coronal look down and the strict measures imposed by the state of greece made it a lot easier for the police to extend into the mainland interest migrants in refugee camps and in the cities so according to the people we talked to the coronal looked on initiated a new strategy of push back from greece to turkey for instance one of the authors of this research thank you and you can find the full report on our website thats of course w dot com.
