Well good news in italy that country is reopening its borders to travelers from europe today and allowing residents to travel between regions and get the countries hoping that this move will help revive its tourist industry after months of lockdown but hotel owners fear the gas will stay away anyway that despite the measures designed to make them feel safe report now from a resort as very worried south of rome. The battle for the best spot on the beach has begun. Bit out of the wants to be in the front row of his home beach but everything looks quite different this year with the coronavirus of course always cover things looking with the umbrellas and see if this interesting for both 3 meters tall square meters each so i can only fit half as many out there. Conditions into it as she not reflect those across italy like on this dream beach south of rome the same social distancing rules apply just as they do in off 5000 kilometers of beaches throughout the country piers that tourists just wont show up this summer are running high. With people who are only allowed to swim in the ocean no chairing no gathering you have to get right back to your son chairs. But many in the Hospitality Industry are worried will Foreign Tourists really come to italy large numbers come from germany or sweden but many europeans are fearful after italy was struck so fiercely by the pandemic. What kind of europe is this when neighboring countries say dont travel to italy its not safe maybe we are the safest country in the world now because we were the 1st nation after china to be hit hard by the virus and we have now almost completely defeated. Interior china there are signs that life is slowly returning to normal. The fisherman have only recently started to more in the harbor again most of the catch goes to Restaurant Owners like that out of the but as long as they were close scampi and giant crabs couldnt find the market. Some tourists are back into it a cina at least italian ones for them the desire for sun sand in sea is now spreading more powerful even the fear of the infection engine of it out of these restaurants cooking is finally on their way again but only under strict hygiene rules in the restaurant the safety distance is measured exactly to the centimeter all guests must also register with name and address so that the entire chain of infection could be traced if necessary. When this is all over the 1st thing well do is open a few bottles of champagne or politico and celebrate and hopefully have a laugh about this strange adventure weve been through together. Gino it out of the says the spite everything hes sure the beauty of the Mediterranean Sea here into china will always draw to respect again. Well here in germany the government is expected to announce the details of the biggest economic stimulus package in the countrys history later today leaders of the main governing Coalition Parties are locked in negotiations they went late into last night and theyre meeting again this morning oh heres more on the 80 to 100000000000 euro plan to recover from the corona crisis. When it comes to children it seems finance minister all of a big heart he wants to grab families 300. 00 euros per child a total of 6000000000. 00 euros to improve their buying power. Alongside families the government wants to help companies particularly affected by the pandemic its planning to cut electricity costs on taxes there are billions for Infrastructure Development and some controversial incentives for car buyers. Right now barely anyone is buying a new car in germany and on top of the fact that core industry is already going through a difficult transition to electra mobility both car makers and unions hope the purchase premiums will give the sector a much needed boost government representatives say theyve allocated 5000000000 euros for the bonuses anyone buying the electric car will get a 1500 euro state subsidy. The french government meanwhile is being rather more generous for a monday new car buyers can expect up to 7000 euros in incentives for new ecar as both germany and france say Green Recovery will be a key principle in addressing the economic damage done by the coronavirus pandemic on the 2 countries see the European Green deal assessing the framework for a sustainable stimulus package. Ok everyones talking about this package and how is it going down with Business Leaders were happy to be joined now by the c. E. O. Of the Industrial Technology giant Siemens Joe Kayser thanks so much for coming in today for joining press lets get our viewers up to date now 1st of all on siemens on the company its the largest industrial manufacturer in europe it has 385000 employees and about every country on the planet is actually getting smaller that out though thats because of this man in here today with a stroke acers been spinning off parts of operations listing them on the German Stock Exchange the last one was Siemens Health the new years the next one seems energy but its key businesses have been dealt a blow by the coronavirus were going to talk about that right now. Where you see europe and the world headed in the spirit right now were facing which is the biggest threat to to Economic Life and to societies in decades look at my people ask me what its going on and you know how do we go. Oh i said look folks dont jury about it because therell be a time after corona and i always say you know the next the night a stroke is before dawn so you know to worry about it just stay focused make sure that we do what we said. Everything which we have found our control we need to focus on and execute and Everything Else we just need to manage so i do hope i mean it was a detour result on this world is going to go post 19 but i do hope that the world has learned something from that koran up in that nick in terms of how they Work Together in terms of how they may realign the value chain and learned that you cannot just go on as we used to weve been taking too much from our planet taking too much from society i think weve always theres that in many ways and this is something that really tour and reset and do a better job for the next generation to come but when you talk about resetting what is siemens been doing in the crisis to start that process of the reset theres a whole its all about leadership i mean we need to tie the loose ends together make sure that everything we can do in the supply chain on the demand side showing people the way they are. And but these to beat on now is really important to give them direction is what leadership is all about. And then we said look at what is it going to be after. The way we are setting up our companies its 3 Siemens Companies one is health care the other one is industrial siemens and then the 3rd one is energy and all 3 you know are undergoing one of the biggest transformations ever happened on this planet and thats exactly what youre going to do actively for in the energy field from conventional energy to immediately energy in the industrial fields the physical to the Virtual World designing products and solutions from home remotely so that people dont need to go to work all the time. And that opens the health care i mean at the world of us the showed us that pandemic if you dont do it well is really. A massive token so health care is in the limelight in the focus of of changes to the crisis has presented a lot of opportunities as you mentioned home office you touched on that thats one of them Energy Changes thats another one is a siemens has come in and produce a criticism for coal mining in australia. Do you see the transition to Clean Energy Still happening in spite of all the pressures that the chrono virus crisis has brought. I mean you know if people come now and we can sustainably energy because of the coronavirus. Go back you know and think about it this is the opportunity now to rethink the energy transition. The only one thing i want to caution the world is you know we have a world as weve built it today and i would be to describe the way from today to 2 more effective this come back and say you need to keep everything that you have this is not to the alley so thats why this is important to show the way going from today to were going to talk about the stimulus package now 80 to 100000000000 euros the biggest in german history coming on the tail of the big e. U. Package 750000000000 this is a huge debt when you talk about the future and future generations that we are putting our children and our grandchildren is a justified well i think. The difference is that we need to design it in a way that this is not a huge hit but that this is going to be a huge opportunity for the future because you know that is investment if you do it right ok if you do it our own debt is that because then you go the way some countries have called in europe of elsewhere so we need to take those 80000000000 over a number is and make it an investment into the future thats really irrelevant and not go backwards and say well they have. This would not have been sold anyway with over that kona and this is something we do very mindful about that we dont go backwards and just try to help somebody whos already lost. But invested to the future and then that that is investment and this is a good thing. Has provisions its looking like it would allow for subsidies for consumers to buy Combustion Engine and beer goals. And we want to move to the future we want to change the way we use energy. Should that be part of the package well why dont we 1st see what the governments come out with. This is a very complicated question its not that easy to say yes. This is one thing is about Consumer Confidence so how do we make sure that Consumer Confidence that the start spending going out eating drinking and things like that investing buy new cars and then have the neighbors also buy a new car because you know this is how germany works the neighbors got the good car and these are good car so this would be a positive to get it started again on the other hand you know the investing things in technology which is not the technology of to morrow would be a bit too easy if you do it because reasons for doing that they need to combine it with some innovation. Innovation. Church or something is it ok fine if you get this one thats your test for the future thats got the electrical or hydrogen or any Sustainable Way of designing the products and solutions today which are the expert. The expert. Catches for 2 more importantly germany when we look about moving in tomorrow into tomorrow siemens you go to every country in the world virtually forcings up until the chronic crisis was revealed basically to turn the condors in the on a comparative level how do you see germany emerging from the Current Crisis is it getting it right its response but i believe the jurys still out on that one because they are not finalists who i believe personally. Dont have a medicine to cure and the vests in to protect people we may see waifs coming after us in the next but every month to go to have that medicine and that pass and so i would not be too optimistic about very just opened up and then we go back as we used to so i believe we need to have health 1st and then i look i mean if i compare germany and the way the government has handled. 19 crisis has been a lot of countries which have done much worse they put it this way and you know in absence of data its very hard to find the right ways or we need to listen you know to to the scientists and. Recalibrate and be open for learning and then also be open to say ok well you know i did it this way i have realized sarong be thought of this way this. In dealing with uncertainty has been that is relevant and i think that chancellor merkel and the whole team has been really really strong in that i mean i like the most was that people are working to get it you know the ones from the states and the federal government coming together say this is something now which is. Given to us so leave away the personal and the very untaught exposes pillion just you know we are in for this together and that was a very strong signal for the city is that pretty United States is dominating the news for days now days when you look at the us it seems has been an important partner for the United States its been a great mutual relationship for decades. How do you see the protests were seeing on top of the front of virus affecting the Nomic Development coming out of the corona crisis. I mean the you know the pictures photos that the clips youre seeing are very concerning very concerning in both the covert 19 as well as. You know the demonstration. Or very concerned about this one really because 1st of all i mean this is one of the biggest democracies in the world and weve been looking to hong kong and have been very concerned about the fact that people are not able to go on the streets and peacefully opinion now it seems we see it seems we see similar methods in one of the most prominent and to create this countrys hopeful times i believe it was a lift after 6 years that i left the country so im really concerned and i do hope that the government and everybody in the leadership you know basically get those matters under control and allow peaceful demonstration yet the look at the violence on the control ok were you mentioned hong kong we have time to talk about china the stuff the head of developed important experiments that germany has to choose between china and the United States do you share that that view it seems has been in china for 172 years its a Technology Leader there what should europe and germany do john. I mean i did i did see the article. And i mean hes been referring to what the world calls to coupling means that you know the trade war is continuing and so i think what you need to do is you need to go look what is it is a balance of trade with people you know complain about each other on unfair conditions maybe. Here is the forum and that is the battle on who is going to be the number one economic power in the world in the next decade thats what theyre seeing so the United States is number one china is number 2 everybody sort of knows well china will be number one at some point Everybody Knows that if im number one in the in the business segment and i was should become number 2 i dont like it. So i fight and thats the underlying topic and that means it takes a lot of time and americans are in about just a couple because that would mean that the other nations need to decide between friend and foe and that the only way to do it is localization. And you need to go both ways thanks very much for coming up salie thank you. Thats all we have time for thanks so much for being with us you know.
