Im burnt off welcome to our viewers on p. B. S. In our viewers all around the world we begin tonight with the future of europe after the pandemic that was the subject today is german chancellor Angela Merkel and french president emmanuel. Medhat maser berg palace near berlin it was their 1st face to face since the pandemic hit back in march the 2 were eager to show that they stand shoulder to shoulder on their multibillion euro plan that they say is crucial to guaranteeing that you use future the greeting was distanced because of coronavirus but warm nonetheless it is not by chance that the man who is the 1st foreign leader to meet with chancellor merkel since the virus crisis began the pair spearheading a 500000000000. 00 euro proposal for rebuilding europes economy off to the pandemic these are 2 leaders who want to Work Together and be the driving force for europe. If this gets going on that we understand that year and pays not united merely because germany and france agree but when germany and france disagree it does not look so good for unity in europe so perhaps we can find agreement on many questions and make a contribution and give a positive impulse to move things in the right direction for europes future. Even as germany prepares to take over the presidency of the e. U. On the 1st of july america is more central than ever to the future of the block the french president for his part wants to be seen to be injecting his own energy and ideas into the tandem he brought with him from paris a proposal for a new environmental levy and he spoke of how European Values have prevailed during the pandemic. Across europe there has been an open and transparent debate from the stuff i think as citizens should be aware of what that means in many other parts of the world some more severely affected by the virus than us is systems of both individuals and companies has not been as massive far from it and in many places the epidemic has been synonymous with the suspension of democratic life but not here in europe mccarthy. On the. Whole has been weakened by his partys poor results in local elections on sunday macros handling of kobe has support even though the plan to transfer funds to struggling countries in Southern Europe is a huge new turn which not a party back but as they try to convince some reluctant e. U. Members that they have the right recipe for recovery france and germany want to make sure theyre pointing in the same direction and for now we want to get our Political Correspondent hons brought he is at the maze of palace just north of berlin where that meeting took place today good evening to you we know that the german chancellor she is asking for solidarity and support for this rescue fund but not every European Union member is on board seeing a possibility of finding a compromise here. Well we have to see that this was a proposal that machall and cole put into the world about 6 weeks ago and their proposal was that there would be 500000000000 euros that would be given to a needy countries as budgetary assistance as grants in other words money thats pushed across the table towards them that was the reaction from the European Commission that just like the government of the European Union was to add a further 250000000000 euros to that in loans and the question is whether the systems in fact should be grants or should be loans there are some countries in the European Union who feel that giving other countries money is not the way or the right way to do it all of this money should be in the form of learns it will be repaid over the years cohen says to today that budgetary direct assistance was the only way in fact to risk who countries that are in need at the moment and he said that he thought that within the next month or so some agreement could be phoned but in the end with likely to end up being some kind of compromise in the European Union. Probably some sort of mixture between learn funds and direct grants. And what about Climate Change and creating a greener economy hans we know that was on the agenda today what are we expecting from germany as it is set to begin to head the e. U. Presidency on the 1st of july. But in fact that was a subject that came up very came up very often in the press conference of the 2 leaders today its something that seems to be very central to their thinking both of them both of them obviously faced green policies at the in their countries of the amount of just the sunday but im going to now go to is 5 facing a lot of pressure from the German Green Party so these issues are important to them at the same time we have to remember that the new commissioner of the new head of the European Union commission on it is the former German Defense minister and a very close associate of im going to marco whos also been pushing a green agenda for the European Union so there is a lot of interest a lot of political pressure on these issues not only in terms of finding a solution for the environment but also i think with some sort of political maneuvering in the background because of the domestic situation in the various countries you know we look at the calendar we know that france is also preparing to take over the e. U. Presidency a year and a half from now so how important will the german franco relationship be for europe in the coming to yours. We have to say that cohen has only been president for 3 years hes a young man hes been pushing hans to make things go move to show that he is somebody who could put things into action but im obviously a very seasoned politician and hes very very reticent about moving too quickly on things so this kind of cooperation has not been that successful in the past few years but now under the pressure from the corona crisis but sides have realized that movement is necessary and it is picking up momentum this french german cooperation. Brought at the maze a big palace just north of berlin and thank you we are some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world germany is investigating 30000 suspects as part of a probe into an Online Pedophile Network the latest in a series of child sex abuse scandals in the west of the country cyber crime investigators began the probe last october with the arrest of a suspect near the city of cologne.

Vladimir putin russian president for life well that is what russians could make possible as they go to the pope theyre voting on constitutional amendments that could allow president Vladimir Putin to remain in power until 2036 voting has been staggered over a week to respect physical distancing critics say the Public Information campaign to mobilize voters has been anything but neutral a distance. Sure one takes a look at the messaging ahead of the poll. For Accessible Health care for a strong stable russia for family values the flyers read the socalled volunteers for the constitution in the Moscow Region are working with russias Electoral Commission theyve been tasked by the author words to inform citizens about whats at stake in the vote including about an amendment that could keep president Vladimir Putin in power the volunteers insist their messaging is completely neutral and thats. Our job is to get people to the ballot box so that they can make whatever choice they want we want people to come and vote for them to know that their opinion makes a difference rather than thinking this vote has been a daughter decided in advance so why bother i personally think our country is on the right path and that path depends on our garrincha our leader so i think its important that one of the amendments could give an opportunity to the man who put our country back on its feet. The clinton himself is absent from the information banners around moscow which simply present this as a vote on russias future. Across moscow theres official information about how and where to vote on many apartment buildings and some of the posters even seem to be encouraging people to vote for the constitutional amendments this poster for example reads the russian word for yes. The author already to putin himself have emphasized that the amended. Will improve peoples lives by enshrining social guarantees in the constitution means no distance only if the constitutional amendments are passed or they will set the bar much higher for the government demanding a more meaningful and effective social and Economic Policy and decisions to improve peoples following of life and prosperity that was recently. But activists from the no campaign argue the vote is all about keeping putin in power for life the campaign has united several opposition groups who say the system is skewed against them its a good news but it leaves the procedure isnt fair in the 1st place because putin who holds all the reins of power and his hands has essentially arranged a vote for himself we have no way of presenting our position on a federal level both in newspapers and on state television were not allowed to be present there thats a barrier we cant pass so we can only Campaign Online and on the streets. Even though they say the vote is just for show volunteers from the no Campaign Want to keep fighting against constitutional changes and for a future without putin.

Kristie is just 3. Seeing her measles vaccination shes not happy about the shots but her mother now feels reassured that her child is safe from the disease and i think we know about the importance of prevention if there is an outbreak my child is protected. A little christie v is safe measles has killed more than 6800 people since the beginning of the outbreak and only 29000 but the world and many donor organizations have been focused on the covert 1000 threat and 2 separate ebola outbreaks here.
