let's get you the latest developments related to the global coronavirus demick china has reported no new deaths from the corona virus over the past 24 hours and 32 new cases the contrary ported were people who returned from overseas israel announced a complete lockdown over the coming possible holiday here in germany the number of confirmed corona virus infections has passed 100000 it's the 4th highest caseload highest caseload in the world the global death toll from covert 19 has now passed 75000 with over 1300000 infections since the pandemic began. as the number of new coronavirus infections in japan continues to grow japanese prime minister shinzo abbott declared a state of emergency to stop the spread of the virus state of emergency was enacted for tokyo and 6 other provinces which account for about 44 percent of japan's port operations a measure of gives authorities more power to order citizens to stay at home and close businesses and will last for one months which opens government also adopted the country's largest ever economic stimulus package worth more than 900000000000 eu

i think the entire demick the question of a taser to the entire world that we need to prepare better for these events you have. now it but it's quite clear that. i think the politicians are listening now to science trying to understand what is going on but the truth of the matter is we don't have all the answers yet we simply don't know fully how the virus behave we don't know what kind of measures we will have to place in the future whether at some point we'll be able to what testing we can be doing whether we have some vaccination in the future of this everything is not quite clear yet that well let me let me end our talk then maybe of maybe on a positive that maybe there's a silver lining here keeping the social distancing in place for now will save lives and it will hasten the pandemics in can we say that with certainty tonight we can suddenly say had not keeping these intentional place will reduce the number off infections for the time being until eva the epidemic dies on its own when we have other things in place for example a vaccine coming on stream exactly well professor ale

demick does not have a life of its own we people can change it and this is the critical moment this is why russia has been searching to see spared for many weeks because the measures taken were early on very good obviously at some point we had a group of unrecognized contacts which always can happen but this is now being dealt with russia has increased its testing to 61000 of the asper day so this will enable really identified not only people who are sick or dare immediate contact also to identify potential carriers of people who are completely healthy but have been in contact and also there is a possibility opened up to do testing request so people who may think that there have been in contact somewhere but cannot really put their finger on it also be able to test that is by large going to enhance our knowledge about their virus is finding its hidden ways. the coronavirus is taking its greatest toll on the elderly with a picture of devastation emerging from care homes throughout europe deaths of the facilities have surged but exact numbers to law because of a lack of testing and delay

been hit twice over 1st by a recession and now by coronavirus clubs how much of an impact will the pen demick have on society in the waning work we take a look at what happened after the spanish flu outbreak more than 100 years ago. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program germany could be on the way out of its coronavirus lock down the country's influential national academy of sciences has recommended that a starkey made on easing the restrictions imposed to contain the virus now the economy is 14 as the number of new confirmed cases in germany fell for the 3rd day running it also set the scene for consultations this week by chancellor angela merkel on what should happen after the current restrictions expire next sunday one of the main recommendations of the report is. that the primary and the secondary schools be allowed to gradually reopen they could soon be followed by shops stores and nightclubs restaurants would reopen next as long as their tables are placed further apart mouth nose protection should be used as an additional protective measure and g.p.s. data offered voluntarily by mobile

is executive director of the asian pacific american advocates she swore it about the impact the pen demick is already having an asian americans and as a result we've seen a huge increase in discrimination and harassment in american within this country everything from verbal assaults dating brains lashing chemical substances to outright physical violence even on young children. 3 tappin errants is concerned that the political confrontation over china could lead to more harassment it is also likely to further deteriorate you ask china relationship whoever wins the election. or relations between the u.s. and china have deteriorated this pandemic with washington accusing beijing of misleading the world in the early days of the coronavirus. break a bill is now before the u.s. senate that would allow a lawsuit against a foreign state that deliberately conceals information that's connected to a public health emergency and this week the u.s. state of mississippi joined missouri in its lawsuit against china which alleges that china misled the world health organization about the corona virus and eve

that playbook is mostly focused on being ready for 2 the pen demick when it arrived . it didn't focus as much on exit ing from a scenario like this it was it was really focused on avoiding a scenario like this boy in this kind of large scale does need to have a large scale sustained shutdown of the economy and of human mobility because it it kind of laid out advice and guidance on how to how to avert this scale of cases that we've now seen in this country i want to just pick up on one other point that the last commenter made which is the importance of all noble populations i think that has been a huge lesson frankly a predictable lesson here in the united states that much of the much of the mortality many of the worst outcomes we've seen have been in long term care facilities and elder homes we've seen that in a number of different countries now but not just here i think even in singapore a different kind of marginalized population there migrant population which has been left out. and more peripheral to the mainstream thrust of their public health effort that's now whe

thank you for joining us ivan overall how would you say colombia is handling the pen demick and perhaps also in comparison to other latin american countries. well colombia has responded to the pandemic very early on with a very tough lock down and if you look to the level of social distancing the implementation of social distancing it's actually been pretty effective according to the reported statistics we still only have $3500.00 infections in the country that's a country of close to $50000000.00 people it's probably an underestimate but compared to what's happening that would rule what we're seeing in brazil colombia has done until now relatively well. let's talk about neighboring venezuela for a bit ivan because that's a country that's had a health system that's been batted because of the economic crisis well before the kind of eyes and they make what is the situation in venezuela. well venezuela is a source of extreme lawry in the region and in the world because as you rightly say the health system is in total disarray it's stuff a grave lack of investment due to the nomic collapse

you already see here in the city of munich wants to be associated with is another wave in this kind demick would be the cause for another wave of this endemic so that the only responsible decision to really make here is to cancel the it's almost as hard as it is but a lot of people on twitter for example are already saying ok we're looking forward to the next october 1st in 2021 all right correspondent boston heartache speaking to us from munich good to talk to you now let's take a look at some other coronavirus news austria says it will allow restaurants bars and cafes as well as some schools and churches to reopen starting on the 15th of may all will be subject to safety restrictions before the end of this week italy will announce plans for the gradual loosening of its lockdown measures starting on the 4th of may but the world health organization is one that rushing to ease restrictions will increase the risk of a resurgence of the disease currently the global death toll stands at more than 171000 that's according to johns hopkins university in the u.s. now the benchmark price of crude o

we have a rare and short read of opportunity to rebuild our world for the better it is use that both demick recovery to provide the foundation for a safe it also includes even more resilient words for all people the u.n. secretary general says the fear of the 5 days for future movement protesting here in berlin last friday that the political reflex could now be to bail out carbon intensive industries at the cost of climate friendly investment. they don't lose chief political correspondent melinda crane welcome belinda what has prompted this renewed push for climate protection. well you know we're often hearing churchill cited these days never waste a good crisis which basically tells us that this is the moment for a restart government and multilateral organizations such as the european union the world bank i.m.f. and others are getting ready to commit some problem was but in the train let's move on to russia russian president vladimir putin has said that his country's coronavirus pandemic hasn't yet peaked during a televised video conference with cabinet members and other officials mr putin

this 17 models and we got when we got to the hardest part of managing the pen demick we took an extra step of ensuring that the government would have control central control central command but with the centralized action for example most communities were free to purchase materials were free to implement their protocols in their best way to organize their hospitals in the way they thought was the best but with the central control and command which was the ministry of health it's again it's it's a test in a way it's the 1st time we test such a model and i think what we have found is the importance of having this one place where the decisions are taken in a dialogue with the communities but with that these interlaced implementation of these measures to bring them closer to our citizens again this is probably another element that we will have to look into when that pandemic is over the prime minister made very clear and promised at the beginning of this crisis a commission in the parliament to evaluate the impact of the measures taken what went right when we're wrong so this probably wou

has been hardest hit by the pen demick with almost 1000000 cases and 55000 deaths job losses in the wake of the outbreak have sparked widespread protests more than 4000000 have filed for unemployment benefits in the last week alone with small businesses suffering particularly hard as are reports. with the united states as the global epicenter of the pandemic protests have broken out against the lockdown measures the national guard has been deployed to keep order our 7. am to go back to her tent the fire but. the economic collapse actually are our enemy at this point one in 3 americans cannot pay their bills half of all low income americans have lost jobs or wages these are the worst numbers since the great depression my employer lets have of us go and those have a struggle that are working we're struggle because we don't have the other half of what i'm looking to help me with friends and family members that i know that have been impacted by this and they are in. their businesses on the verge of cancer stay in this very long hours and i have friends and neighbors nobody's businesses their

like many other countries in the early days of the pen demick the united states was in denial about the treat danger of the corona virus it's going to disappear one day it's like a miracle it will disappear in the name of jesus and friends. but the miracle didn't happen and the prayer didn't help certainly not in states like new york 1000 hit the big apple heart hospital swiss soon filled to capacity and molds were overwhelmed state governor andrew cuomo and took crisis mode and issued a warning to the rest of the country. new yorkers in crisis help new york. and then pick up the air and then go to the next place as this roof across the country. a prediction that turned out to be true the virus spread rapidly from coast to coast by early april it was impossible to deny the seriousness of the situation. during a very critical phase of our war against the coronavirus the sacrifices we make over the next 4 weeks will have countless. american lives saved we're going to save a lot of american lives in. in control of our own fate very much. despite the sacrifices within a week the united stat

kept me when i had a pretty fair election me thout you know and their fellow man had him think and demick. yeah. you know that's a that's a great question because pandemics can come in all different shapes and forms i get asked a lot if i had predicted this adventure and that almost every futurist out there has a whole list of wild card scenarios of things that can go wrong and one of the things on the list is always a pandemic we always look at that but the thing that was missing the thing we couldn't predict was the particular rule set that came along with this one because the next has them a 10 being sexually transmitted disease that could be passed from mother to child it could paster our hair follicles it could. come off the sweat on our body if there's any number of roles 2nd change it could affect the children more than the adults. and so. understanding these particular role sets and what a. virus looks like or a pandemic of any sort in the future i think they're they're going to charge us a lot of fronts so. yeah i guess there's there's an opportunity there for somebody there to c

isolation the very future of how the european union sees itself may be at risk from this corona pun demick will it look back and see a union that stick together through tough times or one that fell apart a group of the talian officials took out a full page police in a major german newspaper that told at the heartstrings it is solidarity that you germans were showing by many european countries after the war and often to reunification did german friends memory helps in making the right decisions the crux of the letter is hope hope that the financial burden for dealing with corona virus will be shared out amongst member states it echoes what had previously been said by the italian prime minister just said he can't take talking about mutual izing current and future debt not harping back to world war 2. again i wanted so old german citizens were not right in the beach overdosed on economics by the beach of a history book because germany's hardly greeted those pleas with open arms maintaining that the 2012 european state billeted mechanism is the only option. so it is no to corona bombs yes to t

obfuscating a clue and missing the entire bag but let me say this carefully a world wide pen demick i just think that when chris cuomo puts his filter his president is world view. his take is how does it affect me chris cuomo i mean this is on heard of you know i got to tell you we're here especially in new york i'm right over to my right you can see this is the comfort down the street is the javits center we've got hospitals with trucks refreshed you waited trucks that were outside allegedly designed to take away dead bodies look at this there are people. there are somewhat and to think there would have just been here about how he has he was he was had such chills that he chipped to 2 i mean it's it's it's it's not it's a system to an extent that is unseemly if you walk me say again injured as you know and demick right there are people actually really really ill and dying from this and like you said he's talking about a chipped tooth and not getting to work out at the gym. what do you make though of some of the other people calling out these holes in his heroic basement confinement s
