Britain is on the countrys hardest hit. With the deaths of 17000. 00 the government has faced criticism for being too slow to prepare for the outbreak and imposing. It says it is quote throwing everything at a vaccine but the 1st human trials due to start today. A country scrambling to deal with a coronavirus pandemic this Convention Center in Northern England has been turned into a makeshift hospital the transformation took less than 3 weeks the u. K. Is racing to increase Hospital Capacity to cope with an ever increasing caseload the British Government has been heavily criticized for failing to prepare for the outbreak its now hoping to beat the virus by investing heavily in vaccines being developed at universities in oxford and london trials on humans are set to begin on thursday in the long run the best way to defeat corona virus is through a vaccine after all this is a new disease. This is uncertain science but im certain that we will throw everything weve got at developing a vaccine the potential vaccine is based on research into previous viruses when this new virus emerged that was already working on here in oxford the most coronavirus sort of vaccine was being trialled humans and so what happened was the genetic code from the new corona virus was discovered in january of this year and it was possible to go back to that genetic code make these new vaccines very rapidly but even if the human trials prove successful they offer no quick fix similar tests are already being conducted in the United States researchers there say its likely to take more than a year before a vaccine is widely available. Because its a story that will be constantly following 16 more 1000000 people signed up to netflix during the 1st 3 months of this yeah its the streaming platforms fastest ever rates of user growth and its largely because of coronavirus lockdowns netflix now has more than 180000000 subscribers worldwide one of its biggest hits of the past few months tiger king has been watched in more than 60000000 households globally. A Business Reporter robots joins me now in the studio for more on these numbers rob welcome obviously surprised at these a huge numbers i dont think anyone is going to be surprised to see that streaming services are doing particularly well at the moment theyve got literally a captive audience in the whos got the lockdowns all over the world and you know when youre stuck inside your house the Entertainment Options are limited folks what is significant is the figures that were seeing here and how they show is an enormous impact the coronavirus pandemic is having. On the Entertainment Industry back in january netflix said its expected to add around 7000000. 00 new subscribers over the 3 months that weve just seen them gain 16000000. 00 its a huge difference theyve made revenues of almost 6000000000 the share price is at an all time high now but it cant go on forever and theyre trying to warn that shareholders that that is the case because they are expecting to get anywhere near as many of the next 3 months they think that perhaps lock downs are going to loosen and people are going to go back out into the Great Outdoors and perhaps take a break from television and also some of these people that weve seen joining them over the past 3 months may join them later in the year anyway so basically taking numbers away from that lake to ficus but still its stunning growth there for in front of the kept or do those original into demand companies in general adapting to these lockdowns around the world what were seeing a really big impact on the movie industry is literally you know going out to see a movie is something that vast numbers of people cannot do now and what weve seen is major blockbusters potential major blockbuster surely will be the new bond film for example later this year is going to be coming out much later than it was originally planned to be disneys moulin as well as also been put right back to what will hopefully be the other side of the pandemic but on the other hand weve also seen films becoming available soon as in they would have been otherwise for example we know many expect to wait 2 or 3 months between a film coming out in the cinema and then it being made available for streaming but actually the process has been rushed through this films like the adaptation of Jane Austens Emma that was in cinemas when the lockdown came in now or you can stream it already other films parents wouldve been pleased to see childrens films being made available a bit quicker the trolls sequel a modern classic im sure trolls will tour was made Available Online the day that should have been made available in cinemas bird. What does that mean for the actual production of films what with social distancing rules and lockdowns of bliss well the big difference is made is that films really being made you know even in hollywood theres no no one productions that you just cant have fast numbers of people working together like that but there are some productions that you can make for example animated productions you can still work at your computer and do those animations and that is still going on also there are productions like the new series off the crown where they have finished filming it wasnt ready as postproduction to be done but they can still do that. Programs and films are being produced but streaming Companies Like netflix and now have to start to wonder whether all these new subscribers are going to have new things to watch in a few months that interesting robot thanks so much for coming in and break down for us at.

Now with the current of out as a pandemic of rattling economies around europe the question of how the bluff where the on hangs in the air so. A form of debt among the nations have been mortared as a solution but thats exposed a rift between countries like italy and spain calling for the bonds and others like germany and the netherlands or against it is one of the elements testing European Solidarity in a time of crisis hospitals in italy have faced a massive challenge to treat all their patients critically ill with kovan 1000 disease spains Prime Minister has called the pandemic europes biggest crisis since the 2nd world war. But help has come for some in the form of the German Air Force specially equipped planes have flown covert patients from italy and france to hospitals in germany you know more than 200 sick people have been transferred from European Countries even in the time of corona germany sees itself as a good european. If. We want to and we will show solidarity weve proved that in the past but this is a crisis that affects us all in terms of health and economically and financially thats why we must take care in these times that the e. U. Stays together. But when it comes to financial help germany is less ready to offer everything that is asked for the e. U. Has agreed big support package its worth more than 3 trillion euros to counter the economic effects of the crisis such as the huge hit. But italy france and spain would like brussels to go further and issue corona bonds a new form of shared debt many german politicians worry that would put new burdens on the german taxpayer. If the key the. Crises is no reason to bring in through the back door Financial Instruments that involve public debt which were wrong in the past and will be wrong in the future carona bonds would lead to more debt and also mean that all of europe ultimately lose it. But others say if european unity means anything it should be about flexing germanys economic muscles during this crisis. Temple. We need temporary corona bonds to help the worst affected countries we need them for selfish reasons too the german car industry is reliant on production happening in northern italy so its not just about solidarity its in our own interest to do the smart thing. And. The pandemic has brought neighbors together but its also put strains on relationships for individuals and nations for now while europe works out how to organize a for the long term direct help for the sick will continue. But what about the financial certain us thats gripping your political correspondent. Join me for more help us understand why bonds are such a sensitive topic. Well you do have to remember that its not the 1st time that the euro zone that europe as a whole is debating the issue of mutual lies debt that was already a contentious issue in the financial crisis some 10 years ago and its back on the table to some extent now in the form of corona bonds are basically euro bonds or corona bonds will be a financial instrument that would work with guarantees by all European Countries that are involved in this project you have to remember the euro zone works with countries that share a currency but they dont have the same fiscal policy making they dont have a joint finance minister dont have the same budget etc so the fear is by the fiscally conservative countries like germany and the netherlands is that theres no guarantee what other countries would do without money and that ultimately their own taxpayers would have to shoulder the liabilities for this debts but you know the knowledge of peers has this position on. How do we interpret. Italys Prime Minister content up until yesterday was adamant that he would battle until the end for corona bombs and then on tuesday he spoke ahead of the e. U. Summit that is taking place on thursday where the 27 leaders are coming together to figure out how to get a European Recovery Fund underway and of course the big question there is how do you finance it and so content on tuesday then said that he is looking for a solution that can be implemented quickly whether theres no treaty changes in place and he said that italy was ready to support proposals that have been put on the table by france and spain what spain has done is it has suggested creating a fund worth 1. 00 trillion euros within the next long term budget to issue bonds and so that would be a compromise to get out of the discussion around corona bonds and to get money flowing very quickly but then the e. U. Commission is also working on other proposals are going to be expected then tomorrow when you leaders meet that theres going to be a positive outcome. The 27. 00 leaders will meet in a Video Conference and of course the big topic will be how to finance the European Recovery Fund but theyre also expected to sign off 1840547 1000000000 euro emergency package to help the countries swiftly in this crisis now but of course if any solution is tied to the long term you budget the discussion will continue long after thursday. Thank you very much for that lockdowns to fight the coronavirus mean many people the world over are finding it difficult to make ends meet in the capital of the german state of brandenburg children are entitled to Free School Meals but its closed they arent getting them this report now on how a normal solution has seen the concerned parents be deciphered. No school means no school meals its usually very busy here at this time of day is more than 300 pupils have lunch in this canteen and potsdam. Half of them get free meals but when they cant come to school then the food has to be taken to those in need. For it i mean its its an extra cost and worry for parents when their children cant have lunch at school they have to cook as well as do the home schooling and working at home themselves home office so we thought if the schools are closed well just have to take the food to the children in the house talk of who holds is one of the red cross drivers who make the deliveries he normally takes children to school but now he brings them food instead and hes busier than ever. Food things have to close during the crisis so these drivers fill in. The city of parts thomas also supporting petering companies which deliver lunches to the children. Theres plenty of business. Today talk is visiting 27 families. And im so grateful i just want to thank him for bringing it and the city for organizing everything so quickly its a big relief for us and we really appreciate it. To have has a friendly relationship with his customers for me just a short distance its good to know that im helping if youre poor and were welcomed with open arms. I do the same circuit all week so people know when im coming and they look forward to that if. They sometimes give me a little presents or chocolate. Great. As much as a 1st class. A lot of people would be lost without deliveries next stop a family with 4 children. And. We get welfare payments that normally pays for all our food but when the kids started being at home nearly a month before the holidays which seemed to start that had an impact on my finances. To have is hoping that in the future people will continue to look out for each other just like they are now during the pandemic. Flu epidemiologists a place in great hope and socalled tracking apps for smart phones to help get the coronavirus pandemic under control singapore and south korea already have tracking apps but Data Protection regulations that are not as strict as a German Company is now working with 130 specialists from europe wide in compliance with european Data Protection standards the programs anonymously recalled to users location details by a bluetooth to detect and interrupt change of infection if any user is growing up positive or uses receive it. For more im joined by chris cohen the shooter of this European Initiative called. Preserving for exhibiting tracing or p e p p p t mr bill is welcome. But there this initiative that youre the cofounder of is advocating and you wide but youre also advising the German Government on it how will this work. I totally amazed that you could speak the name this is what happens when scientists name. But youre doing better than us most of the time. Let me 1st Say Something very important were not creating an app because a an app itself has to fit in with the local Health System of a country because every Health System is a little bit different every the legislation around is a little bit different the services are organized differently so the apps will have to integrate with that to offer the best type of integration with all the measures and restrictions that a country takes what we are offering at that p. T. Is is at a layer under the apps that does 3 things basically it gives good measurement so that you know that how far are you away from somebody that is x. Exact no point in measuring like 2 meters distance when your accuracy is only 10 meters the 2nd is privacy preservation with different models right the idea is that there are different privacy models but there is a common denominator which for europe at least as g. D. P. Are meaning that the simply the only thing that could reveal a persons identity is the person itself and the 3rd one is interoperability because its important if we loosen restrictions in one country we still have closed borders so the infection the ability to trace infections has to go beyond other countries and for this no data is used that actually would allow anyone to track back a person location data is not use wife i data is not used your sim card i. D. s are meke i. D. s and all these things are not used its always stays on the private level right i love talking about technical data days and i really do get them but that the similar absa been used in. So what you are saying how is that different to whats happening in asia. Well in asia where societies need or want less Data Protection what the. Basically what was the implemented was external surveillance or face recognition that was used for publishing the location of sick people so other people around that could be one. I dont think that just this type of surveillance would be acceptable in any european democracy so our question was and it was obvious that this way this could be a keep Building Block in quelling an outbreak and the example is will hunt in china or china in general but then now in order to leave your house you have to put your app down and that and the house will hold of the door but only open if she if the ass is your youre not in danger of spreading infection so that i think its completely out of the order for europe so our question was can we do something that would allow people to still have privacy preservation i mean the whole point is until there is a vaccine we will have to manage this pandemic and managing it while we still have a life not all stay at home managing it means that we have to go and find an infection and get the the people that possibly could have been infected a very quickly so the infection can spread and thats the whole idea of having a nap instead of doing interviews who did you meet last week with someone whos been fesa positive eps the way appears to be the where chris boos thank you very much for joining us thank you and joan then a ship s n express started to join in from your top 3 show back in january before the coronavirus had spread around the wild the crew thought to becoming aware of the sea dismissed the outbreak as it traveled closer to its epicenter now several months on this jim dont know when they would be able to set foot on land. 366 meters long with the Load Capacity of 13000 containers the essen express runs between europe and asia are regularly kept and to be as common and his crew took off in general from the italian city of genoa back then the corona virus was not yet a pandemic few people had even heard of it. What the crew experienced in the following weeks and months was like a chronicle of the pandemic. Series. They passed through swiss canal in early february the days on bought the ship changed little it was impossible to impose social distancing restrictions the company asked them to take body temperatures daily and sent the crew protective gear the captain stashed away some extra food. Well enough for 2 weeks more than usual. Leaving because someone got infected. By this. To minimize the risk of infection contacts with staff at the ports were reduced to the essential and just as dependent make reached its peak the s. An express arrived in china pilots were working with food protective gear the crew was not allowed to go ashore and a change of crew was impossible. Because many ports. d and there arent any flights. To get them on board. The pandemic spread quickly across europe and the s. An express crew was trapped on board captain come on ordered extra sim cards so the crew members could stay in touch with their families their next stops were in barcelona. And genoa where the crew had to stay on board only the cargo of medicine and medical equipment unloaded it. Does make you feel a little proud because you are helping people. By bringing groceries or maybe even. Life. Now theyre on the way back to asia perhaps the crew will finally be able to disembark in singapore or hong kong. But the sport now and the story of 2 young tennis players in italy what challenged by the courts to find a way to stay in shape during the lockdown they hit the roof tops and their efforts have now gone viral.
