A rude awakening for Many Americans in europe departure halls were packed as travelers scramble to get home after hearing that the u. S. Is restricting travel from the European Union starting at midnight Eastern Standard Time on friday is pretty crazy because it sounded like 2 am we were on a with. Trying to the airport 3 flights were on a flight by at 9 am a little bit more heads up would have been nice because we freaked out and we found out so i guess communication wasnt great trump has restricted travel for foreigners to the u. S. From e. U. Countries in an attempt to get a handle on the 1900 outbreak but some say his decision will do little to stop the virus from spreading. He is facing a lot of criticism because of this trouble then not only in iraq but europe but also here in the u. S. With many experts saying that its too late that the virus is already here across the atlantic in italy more than 12000 people have been infected and around 1000 have died this picture of an exhausted nurse taken earlier this week has become a symbol of the strain medical staff are under the doctors are having to make tough decisions there arent enough mechanical ventilators in hospitals to treat seriously ill patients the e. U. Has expressed solidarity and promised the crisis stricken country billions of euros in aid. For the pandemic is having a big impact of the on the World Economy sending us stock markets into a tailspin on thursday the New York Stock Exchange had its worst day of trading since 1987 the dow jones struck 9 percent after the opening bell and trading had to be stopped for 15 minutes for the 2nd time this week around the world fears over the pentatonic are hammering markets the selloff in the u. S. Came after President Trumps travel ban announcement sparked fresh market panic in asia and also in europe it follows days of market drops as investors fear that government simply cannot contain the 1910 demick. All right lets talk about all of this we have got hard business with us in our Political Correspondent nina as well good to have you both guard lets start with you and i was just talking about markets theyre not theyre not the only things being having its a real economy as well as in it yeah its not just of high finance well its you know about trillions and billions and all that but its actually Real Companies that are being hit and is real people that are actually already losing their jobs this morning i spoke to the c. E. O. Of a large fashion retailer here in a mail order retailer here and germany he told me 2 interesting things. 1st their supplies in china are coming really coming back home live were hearing from the Chinese Government that the worst is over and all that and actually in terms of the economy that seems to be the case workers are returning to factories and 2nd he told me well we are a Large Company supplies in china stopped delivering the goods to us by we could switch we have other supplies we can switch to bangladesh we can switch to turkey and now in these cut countries get hit by the virus we will be able to switch back to china but small and Medium Sized Companies do not have this kind of network they wont be able to react like this so Large Companies are slightly safer than small and Medium Sized Companies and people will be losing their jobs you know thats really important to keep in mind lets talk about the political aspect and we saw the german chancellor Angela Merkel meeting with the leaders of germany states yesterday to coordinate measures and she said shes talking to Public Health officials that the Public Health of the germany is the most important priority but also that she needs to safeguard the economy lets take a look at that that what she said. In light of the turmoil in the markets germany will do whatever is necessary to help its economy and secure a jobs. Thats we have agreed that tomorrow the bundestag and the boom does not begin drawing up a plan to compensate workers and companies for reduced working hours programs to provide more security to them. To be shifted into an even. More security we heard the words there from the chancer what does this mean in concrete terms well theres saw time worker a deal asians are becoming law at the moment thats an instrument that was used by the German Government in the financial crisis and 10 years ago and that worked very well for the German Economy it made it easier for smaller sized companies especially to send people home when they were ill and they knew that they would be compensated for that and then the German Government has announced a large economic aid package and well hear the details off that later today that will be announced by the german economics minister and the finance minister and it will probably be worth billions. Evening until america is going to meet key players from the German Economy so theyre also going to the announcement measures ok go ahead what impact will all these measures have on the German Economy whether it will hit the economy of course but you know the Companies Know that its like if you contract the virus its not the virus that kills you it is your immune systems response that kills you and the same goes for for societies are responding to it but they will take a hit the economies inevitably will take a hit but in effect everybody understands that we are at war against this virus you have to throw everything acids the key is though to time everything right and to find the right balance the right timing when to reduce measures how to help how to support the 2 front finding this. Whole balance is very important otherwise you might win the battle and lose the war but we know germany does not you know its economy doesnt exist in a vacuum its also an export nation depends very much on trade with other European Countries and you know weve seen a real crises in countries like italy is germany doing anything to support its partners well devaney depends on other European Countries to import the goods from germany so of course its in germanys interests to keep the european economy growing and i found very interesting that uncle americal said you know the rigid budget discipline that weve had in germany for a long time now that is no longer our top priority she explicitly mentioned the words debt break and black 0 and that is a big thing for political balin and she also says that the e. U. Needs to coordinate its efforts a lot better and well also hear from you top officials later today about more measures that need to be taken to help countries like italy all right. With us here in the studio thank you both very much. Well there had well have more of the impact of the corona virus coming up in Business News news right after this show now a growing number of states in germany have ordered schools and other public facilities to close in bavaria and starland authorities have ordered schools kindergartens and Daycare Centers to close berlin will start gradually closing schools next week and its going to reduce public transport capacity 3 other german states including the most populous state north rhinewestphalia are expected to announce further steps later today. All right lets talk about all the measures here in germany we have did have you science reporter Derek Williams with us he is a self isolating right now at home here in berlin derrick its good to see you weve heard there the 3 german states including berlin are now closing schools and kindergartens and were expecting other states to follow suit does this step make sense. Well interestingly the experts there kind of really go back and forth on this question a lot the truth of the matter is is that we dont really know we are in pretty much uncharted territory here in this kind of fast moving epidemic every everyone is to some extent sort of making it up as they go along the general opinion amongst most of the experts here in germany up until very recently was that closing schools and preschools would actually be counterproductive because that would also force units of School Age Children to stay home with them now that would also have a serious knock on effect in the Health Care Sector because the frontline staff that are actually treating people because you can have nurses and caregivers and doctors staying at home with their kids when they need to be in the hospitals helping people who are infected so more and more actually but more and more of the experts seem to be moving away from this sort of conviction and theyre starting to say that that after all maybe it is a good point at this point in germany to shut schools for a while to slow down the spread of the virus this flattening of a curve that weve weve been hearing over and over so some german states have done that already and i actually fully expect the rest of the german states to follow close order probably by next week what about the issues weve seen from the u. S. Derek President Trump shutting born to europeans is that a scientifically sound decision. From a logical viewpoint it really doesnt make actually much sense at all i mean while its true that in europe and in italy in particular there have been theyre struggling with numbers of and were starting with numbers and factions it doesnt really mean that people are better off in the us i mean most experts say that this lower infection rate is actually down to the fact that very few tests have been conducted in the us at all and thats down to the fact that actually less than 10000 up and just for comparison insult korea a major hotspot theyve been conducting 20000 tests a day and 10000 tests in the entire American Population is not really enough to say whether or not theres a large number of large great number of people who simply havent been tested and but have contract infection so shutting off europe doesnt really make any kind of sense logically were scientifically a kind of only makes sense if you think about it as a as a political move does seem like theres a lot we still dont know and a lot of people are wondering about infection and mortality rates do we have any reliable numbers on that yet. Well calculating mortality rates actually during a disease epidemic its a its a really a very tricky business because its just its not enough to take the number of reported deaths and there i did by the number of confirmed infections because as as we all know there are going to be a large number of people who are about mild symptoms or who are possibly asymptomatic and those people like might never be tested or we might only be of the test of in the coming months and years for antibodies to see if they might actually have the disease at one point so its a very very squishy number to talk about the mortality rate what we really need what we do know about it at this point is that it appears to be around one percent to maybe 2 percent depending also very much on changing from nation to nation an older nation like like like italy its going to be higher because the population is higher the population is older one in 4 italians is over 65. 00 places like south korea where theyre testing testing testing its actually proving to be lower. Its going to be what we know at this point is its more deadly than the flu and its less deadly than sars and coming to really firm conclusion about mortality rates other than that its going to be baked in the for the coming months and years. Williams from did have you science with us thank you very much.

He is a terrorist hes a criminal hes an extremist but he will when i speak be nameless. She also quickly showed solidarity with the Muslim Community and donned a headscarf to lead a nation and defiant morning. Many of those who will bring to recreate afflicted by the shooting may be migrants to new zealand they may even be very few genes here they have chosen to make new ceiling their home and it is the harm that i r s. New zealand also stood out by following warm words with concrete action. Within weeks the government launched a gun buyback scheme a month later it banned semi automatic rifles now its been a year since a cyclonic die struck Southern Africa the storm killed more than a 1000 people in mozambique zimbabwe but ask are and malawi part of the damage was the trauma of the people who witnessed the disaster had to face didnt you correspondent privilege was fun he visited she money money in zimbabwe the epicenter of the march 2900 cycle and he spoke to one survivor who lost his wife and his home in the disaster.

We dont know whats in next so its very difficult when someone lost a confidence in life its a difficult situation so. For the last months. It was a very difficult. You know when you dont know whats next and difficult situation is punishment or. A punishment that peter and many others here will feel was undeserved theyre awfully to hope. Not because. Im a really nice thing because i was this thing this was where my house was better rons passed through town is a better i know that these are rocks. On these big rubber bands i could quote remind them of what happened when the famed for my so i now have to deal with the past try my to be a rock how to experience a. Mental Health Experts warn that ignoring these he didnt warns will not make them disappear treatment should be agent but in the long term untreated posttraumatic stress disorder we see a low quality of life in people you can just imagine if someone constantly has to avoid certain triggers city areas certain reminders feel bad about themselves you know this can this can lead to other conditions like the depression and anxiety where people are just so withdraw from life. Cycle was one of the west storms to zimbabwe in recent history so it would be hard to forget these memories for those we experienced the disaster. The missing will only be declared dead after an inquiry which may take some time and that one of the prolong the misery of those still seeking closure while that report is from zimbabwe as we mentioned mozambique was also very hard hit by the cyclon and were joined now from the capital my put o. By marc hes the National Director of mozambique for the Aid Organization care mark thank you for joining us on what is being done to provide survivors of the cycling with the kind of closure that they need. It as you heard before on the situation remains critical on the ground because the recovery phase is still ongoing and people who have suffered direct impact of the die still living this day to day a lot of them into carrying plans that were put in place remain on the front it. Was because in the region over 100000 people are still living in makeshift shelters dying the incredibly die is this presence of them on a daily basis so for us to hoping people to establish civilian lives on bringing children back into school for example establishing what you know its all over means one of the Top Priorities markets had a lot of people are still living in shelters i mean a year later how many people are still dependent upon aid and how many people are still unaccounted for. That is as mentioned about. People remain missing or unaccounted for and that will require closure from from officials. On on the dependency we have been working especially during the past year with multiple seasoning to provide my few assistance in terms of seats so the 3 people can rebuild but unfortunately always seeing with the current Climate Crisis is that we see repeated shocks within the region zimbabwe was indeed are involved in a massive drought in the scene flooding in some of the areas and they are out in the in the last few weeks that have destroyed some of the Recovery Efforts so that the situation remains really much present and he has been a nice. Mark looking at the situation today a year later would you say that the country is any better prepared now for this kind of catastrophic event in the future i honestly and i said just a year ago i think its difficult for any country to be geared for this type of scaling back of a disaster. I think we have learned a lot of lessons in terms of the just sticks and how to bring and support people but if there would be another sign today they would be really much struggling especially since infrastructures still remain damaged and some of the areas that were hit by site when he died all right mark from the Aid Organization care joining us from.
