sentiments in spain because in spain the e.u. ees regarded as part of the democrats he's ation of spain that's part of the story of spent getting out of franco's the deck to ship so e.u. we still have a positively supported across the political spectrum with few exceptions but the reality and that's what their previous speaker say i think we're facing here a double crisis one above the lack of competencies of the european union the itself it doesn't have competence for x. on the border and it doesn't have competence for probably counts which still remains very meant to competence of the individual member states and decision crises which is i think the reality we're in part is that crises of europe and so that sort of diabetes among european member states and like again the previous speaker was saying you had different groups 1000 economy including france asking for basically a brain you approach to how you can survey data and strengths and the euro zone something that already was pushed after 2008 never succeeded because of germa

yes so if you compare their response in spain and the u.k. what we can see is that the lock down when it was introduced in the u.k. it was late that in state in terms of the number of deaths and the lock them down was introduced but also the measures were not as strict as in spain now we're going to get the has a sense we also understand that the health system in the u.k. disquiets trade we've also had reports that the health care profession has and are being tested and also they don't have the right to that equipment so i am quite a bit worried about that about the effect that this is going to have had a system where they're going to be able to prevent having said that i think something very positive that also spain and the u.k. has that is building x. that we need to agree with it stadiums we need to learn from that they get them out manship hospitals and also hospitals in big stadiums like the one that was that he met ephemera and the one of the betting in london but very important i predict that they're going to need to build many more ho

now did these new restrictions also affect forests who are still in spain. so there's a lot of uncertainty around the tourists still what we know is that most tourists have left the city and most of us cities and spain on the right and a lot of other tourists have canceled it so there are not so many tourists left in the country those ones that are left from my from my point of view and from what i can see on the streets they are still quite relaxed but of course there's a lot of uncertainty and because a lot of airlines have also started to choke and so they have connections already in the morning this has become obvious well we are still waiting for spain's prime minister to actually and nouns these lockdown measures officially he was supposed to speak several hours ago do you know what's behind the delay. yes indeed she was supposed to address the public much earlier from what i have been gearing is that she is still meeting with the ministers behind closed doors because. he is also trying to sort out the very concept of economic program. together with th
