The streets of argentinas capital when a site is are empty these days after the government imposed a look down in the country but soup kitchens like this one cannot afford to shut down. Constanza says the amount of people coming year has doubled in the past few days and the local guy called mia people used to come here and sit down they could take a shower and spend some time things have changed but the amount of people coming has doubled many cant work and cant survive with the lock down and others live on the streets.

Venezuelans were already facing widespread shortages and now measures to contain the virus are making life even more difficult feel has become so scarce that people are queuing for hours at petrol stations and the military has been brought in to contain them the countrys Health Care System has already been hit hard by years of economic crisis. North korea has fired what appears to be 2 short range Ballistic Missiles into the sea off its east coast the south Korean Military says the missiles were launched from the ones on the air and travel around 230 kilometers its called a test inappropriate during the corona Virus Outbreak where rob mcbride joins us live now from the south korean capital seoul so rob another Missile Launch by north korea what more details have you been hearing there. Thats right north korea does seem to be stepping up its weapons testing this is the 4th weapons test this month that was after several months when all testing was halted since the end of last year but this is now the 4th test we have seen this month long range artillery being tested multiple rocket launchers and once again as in this case short range Ballistic Missiles being fired it seems that north korea is doing this because it can obviously the world has more important things on its mind at the moment the United States doesnt seem to be bothered by these shorter range missile tests donald trump certainly doesnt seem to be angered by it and whether or not talks genie talks will restart it doesnt seem to be impacted by that south koreans obviously are concerned they have been very quick to condemn this calling for a halt of all this kind of missile testing saying that its very inappropriate as the world is trying to tackle this Global Pandemic and i think that from the north korean perspective there are practical reasons why it is stepping up this testing it has spent an awful lot of time over the past couple of years while it has shuttered its Nuclear Tests and also the testing of longer range intercontinental Ballistic Missiles which would be very provocative it is directed a lot of attention to developing shorter range Missile Technology in particular guided missiles so it is becoming increasingly sophisticated with the Guidance System that it is developing and thats of concern here in south korea and also in japan where the anti Missile Systems would be severely tested in trying to intercept these i think at the moment though there is also something in the timing of this that north korea wants to send a message to its own people that it is precedented time of Global Pandemic north Korea Remains this haven because of course we have yet to have a single case of coronavirus reported in north. Korea it makes very much of the fact on it said daily news bulletins that it remains virus free under the leadership of kim jong un and i think this wants to send a message to its people that he is very much in control that although north korea is suffering economically and closing its borders especially to visitors from china north korea is very much continues to be remain remain stable under kim jong un and in fact even to the point of calling a meeting of the supremes Peoples Assembly here in pyongyang on the 10th of april just as other people are getting away from social distancing etc north korea is calling together a meeting of its rubberstamp parliament.
