And with Germanys Bundesliga targeting a return to plague in may we look at just how realistic and safe plans are to fold matches without spectators. Welcome a stark warning for africa from the United Nations the organization predicts that the corona virus pandemic will likely kill more than 300000 people on the continent and that is the best Case Scenario the u. N. Estimates the virus could push 30000000 africans into extreme poverty africas 54 countries have so far reported a little more than 1000 deaths from covert 19 but the crisis there has only just begun heres a report from egypt. This. Is home to him and his family. But also provides his income for euros a day from sorting trash stopping work because of the coronavirus is out of the question. But we hope that god will protect us we need every cent and we pray nothing happens to us we dont want to beg. 80000 people live and work in this garbage city on cairos skirts 16 tons of rubbish arrive every day to be sorted and recycled by hand no gloves no masks in extremely close conditions where hygiene is nonexistent officially theres no here but theres also no testing the World Health Organization estimates a high number of unreported cases residents complain of fever and diarrhea the head of the garbage collector syndicate has demanded that the government supply protective equipment so far without result he hopes garbage workers exposure to the virus will make them immune the work must go on. The trash bacteria and. If we dont collect it the results would be catastrophic for egypt its feared that a wave of infections could start here and quickly spread within cairo and throughout the country an expert see egypt is poorly prepared for a major outbreak now is the executive director at the n. G. O. S african monitor in johannesburg we asked her whether african countries might become the epicenter of the coronavirus endemic. I think that we are significantly concerned as the african continent that we dont have the capacity yet to manage the spread of the disease but surely there are countries that are going to experience that tices much haida than other countries and i think that also its good to kind of lead conceptualize that prompted to say ok right now just over 20000 people have been infected thats compared to you know 2200000 across the globe i believe that african countries have been sweet and very very specific in addressing some of the crisis is that were facing but yes africa is fragile we are at risk and the assets and said he said a number of things that we should be concerned about contamination at a laboratory in the United States to lead the rollout of corona virus test kits according to the Washington Post says the kids produced by the center for Disease Control and prevention gave incorrect results of faulty kits then had to be recalls and that slowed the 1st efforts to contain the spread of the virus in the u. S. Earlier we were joined on the line by the author of that before David Willman from the Washington Post we asked him who was to blame for the contamination and the delayed rollout of the kits. Well of course this work was done within the c. D. C. But as part of our report in the Washington Post that out. You know there are several problems here that i think demand more answers and that is 1st of all exactly how did these contaminated kits here in. This case the quality of the efforts at the c. D. C. Laboratory we now know based on what we brought to light today that the c. D. C. Violated its own protocol of manufacturing practices in assembling those carrots so breakdown in Quality Control there. Can confidently was that the c. D. C. Used a more complicated design for these kits then for instance the World Health Organization sponsored design was the c. D. C. Kids had 3 separate components 2 of which were focused entirely on detecting the code in 1000. 00 strain which is what the pandemic is right now but the 3rd component that c. D. C. Put in was seeking to detect a broader family of of corona viruses and it was within that 3rd component that these falls emerge which gets to a 2nd question here on the 1st question has. Caught the whole gap with the contamination but once the false positive started emerging out there theres a question a huge question as to why the c. D. C. Didnt. With greater speed in shifting away from that problem 3 component tests and do what the c. D. C. Took more well over a month to do which was to tell the laboratories you know what you can it can test reliably without that 3rd component so those are both of those are are huge question. Police in hong kong have arrested 15 high profile democracy campaigners involved in the massive protests there last year and 29000 shoed rallies show called kong and rattled chinas communist leaders.

Its Early Morning in berlin Major General broyard is on his way to his morning briefing there are many topics on the table from stuffing levels to the security situation from Media Coverage to the weather and of course the many requests for help they receive from across the country according to the Major General the Coronavirus Crisis is also the kind of assistance his command provides in the past the german army has mainly offered support in the event of floods and forest fires now the entire country has to deal with a different kind of calamity. In in the last few days we had to turn down a number of requests and whenever its a matter of medical supplies which are very very scarce for us to do what we can do and what has been happening over the last week and a half is offer a helping hand. Like in bamberg town in southern germany here 35 soldiers are now providing support in retirement and nursing homes. You could have to get into of course our nursing staff is currently reaching the limit if there is an emergency situation especially in the nursing home thats why i approached the german army and asked for official help he did it fortunately we got it immediately. A muscle thought it would become a.

Our normal job is the defense against nuclear biological and Chemical Warfare agents. So now we carry out the same range of functions but for something positive the production of disinfectant. Back of the Operation Center and. Excluding medical services only about 500 soldiers provide assistance 15000 are on standby in future the army could support Health Authorities in following up on coronavirus cases. And this will probably always be the case where the civilian infrastructure is not able to cope with the situation gets off to the. Weather to be a lack of pass now anywhere in germany the army is prepared to step in to help. And we turn now to the battles on the soccer pitch as germany enjoys relative success in fighting the coronavirus both sports fans and Club Administrator asking when will football return to the German Football League like almost every other league is currently suspended but football officials hope to resume the bundesliga season in may even with empty stands. This league games being played without spectators was almost unimaginable just several weeks ago. Fritsch a board member with the German Football League and a politician and Health Experts have starkly different takes whether the league should even pick up where it left off. Seps. I personally dont think games through good idea but i know the German Football League clubs are putting a lot of pressure on politicians. To put the difference but does something this is you know why shouldnt football be allowed to do that if it happens within the rules like when not preparing for the fact that we can at least play with spectators is just like every company thats preparing for a return to normal working conditions i dont know whats wrong with that is that it will start in the by the definition is with teams back on the training pitches many questions remain unanswered how would social distancing rules be possible when any return would still involve 2 teams substitutes coaches medical staff and security and what about making sure everyone is virus free ive. The word is if we use a lot of tasks that we urgently need in the medical system for example in care facilities and also for those who are suspected of being infected. However things pan out celebrations like last season seem any long way off. And the chairman the bundesliga side shall curtailments 10 years has offered to help the German Football League the efforts against the coronavirus by testing footballers for covert 1910 years owns a meat manufacturer worth billions and says hell make available his Company Laboratory to test for this league of players if medical labs are at full capacity an estimated 20000 tests will be needed for players to near said he was not looking to make money and would test others if the league doesnt need his help.
