Is a milestone in china on the grounds that the schools have been locked down its been a nationwide lockdown for about 3 months or so the schools in some provinces and some of the major cities are turning some schools have already opened and that was in march in the beginning of april but some of those cities that are reopening on monday shanghai beijing and one joe in the focus is really on the senior and the middle School Students particular the final year classes that are preparing for the end of school exams and this role thats been happening and will happen over the next month will so with the primary schools to return in mind all schools are required to have various contingency plans in place the teachers have been trained to deal with emergency procedures to try and prevent any outbreak of transmissions the students of course have also been provided with protection our social distancing measures are in place during the lunch breaks and the canteens have also been set up almost like exam rooms to try and separate to divide the students and the reason why these schools are slowly reopening is weve seen a gradual for declining numbers in the number of cases in china and thats why the schools are reopening the National Health commission on monday has reported just 3 cases in china and none of which were in the who by province of course this is the epicenter of the province where we saw the initial corona Virus Outbreak and on sunday the National Health commission reported no new coronavirus cases in that particular city and this of course of the city there where 11000000 people a went into lockdown back in january and its gradually reopening but i should state there are questions still about the calculations being used by china and by the National Health commission and some countries are also calling for an investigation into the modeling in the calculation of chinas official figures. In the u. S. The white house official coordinating the response to the corona Virus Outbreak says social distancing may be necessary through the summer dr deborah brick says the u. S. Needs a Huge Technology breakthrough to expand testing before the country can reopen but state governors remain divided high the costs are reports.

Satirise professor at Columbia University is a paid him ology and Medicine Department she says easing restrictions need to me based on the day to day statistics of the infection spread and i think theres a great need for a coordinated approach and theres a great need for one voice so that guides what happens and in every part of this country and it really should be guided by uniform approach but can be adapted to local circumstances but. Its not very constructive at all if not dangerous to meet the citizens individually at one locality and one state level when we know that people move across states all the time you need to look at the numbers of newly diagnosed cases every day and only the side to ease restrictions if there is a sustained decrease in the numbers of new cases every day in other metric is also numbers of hospitalizations go with 1000 hospitalizations that can only can also be measured day in day out and other measures of that nature so that if there is evidence of sustained decreased meaning that not just one day a decrease or 2 days or 3 days but at least 2 to 3 weeks thats consistent decrease that snowden then is the right time to consider easing of some of these restrictions but certainly one cannot depend at this point on antibodies because we dont even know if having n. T. Mary is going to be protective against getting the corona virus infection at some point if these matters are all moving in the right direction its the way in which communities and states and so on are reopened is also very important to what gets reopened 1st what happens next and so on and its really important to keep measuring these metrics as you move ahead because you may have to pull back from some of the easing thats already been put in place.

Lets turn to other news now and with the backdrop of increasing diplomatic tensions 2019 saw the nar just take in military spending in a decade nation spent a combined 1. 00 trillion dollars on their armed forces the Stockholm InternationalPeace Research institute found that leading the way was the United States it spent 732000000000. 00 a 5 percent increase from the year before china increase its spending to just over 200 60000000000. 00 while india shelled out 71000000000. 00 this is the 1st time 2 Asian Countries are among the top 3 spending overall more than 60 percent of the worlds military spending came from just 5 countries the other 2 being russia and saudi arabia. So lets speak about gram on web about this is a Research Fellow at the institute for Defense Center teach excite is at the as Rajaratnam School of International Studies at nih and Technological University in singapore is via skype from singapore thank you so much for being with us on aljazeera so what factors have contributed to this increase especially in asia well i think a number of factors that you factor of course is the Threat Landscape far the asia pacific several hots spots as we speak particularly to solve china sea and that impacts chinas perceptions of whats going on in the South China Sea which is. A single very severe contestation arctic particularly between the u. S. Navy in the chinese we saw chinese modernization efforts are poised to wards countering the u. S. Navy in this part of the war in terms of india i think india is also facing a rather than situation because of the whats going on with its relationship with pakistan and also of course its relationship with china so these are 2 countries. In the neighborhood of india which india is seeking to sort of stave off or form are making any kinds of military or butchers down the road so the large expenditures really are about hedging against a deteriorating security situation here but for china its also about its also been about competing with the u. S. Military as a superpower hasnt it and that build up by imagine has motivated other countries in the region to bolster their armed forces to buy some of these smaller countries are spending more than they can and should are there. Certainly certainly what china is doing is not its setting a very negative tone for the rest of the asia pacific because as chinas military expense everyone gets a bit more are not to get very anxious about chinas strategic intentions not just with respect to the u. S. And the u. S. Presence in the asia pacific but also about chinas role in the region and so everyones hedging and so youll find that the military budgets have been on a general increase as well even you know in southeast asia. But yes for india its definitely not something right towards monitoring the reports coming out of meat not a growing public criticisms against these. Priorities hes increasing a military spending people are saying that he should be improving health care and infrastructure in particular to deal with the 900. 00 situation hes parties are skewed towards arming india to the teeth and thats not so sure in for just the indian citizens but also for the rest of the region and speaking of covert 19 what impact sisi the Coronavirus Crisis and its economic fallout having on future military spending because these figures of course were from 2019 but now were dealing with a crisis what impact is that likely to have going forward. Thats a great question and i think whats going to happen is that you will stop at military missions of that article even in china and india you will have to or you know india submit to the Larger Forces that are here because were going to a situation its asking for a rethink in how national our economy is how governments spend our money and clearly the public demands are increasing their. Moneys spent right and so even in india over the next couple of years were going to see some shifts india cannot spend without or within one token budget on the military it has to ship some of those resources towards. Guarding the population form not just this endemic but future ones as well. As always very good to talk to you thank you so much for joining us on are just there.

Theyve put a lot of effort into marketing and promotion and certainly theyve tried to make it feel like a National Obligation to do this and look it may be when we get to the bottom of it that it may be useful and safe to to use our concern really is that theyve left out a lot of the information if youre looking for informed consent the you need to know not only what wed like it to do and promises that will do the right thing but also one of the limitations what are the risks that sort of things and unfortunately that sort of information which would include design specifications the Software Source code the technical protocols and.

Do protect it and that ensure that its mandatory. The fact that so many of the entities involved with this were paid a week ago to float the prospect that if if we didnt do the right thing if we didnt get the right answer that it would be made mandatory that really you know the cat among the pigeons.

I am afraid of getting sick because if i dont recover i will die so i would leave for children in the all finance i am obviously afraid but i have to whack maria who is undocumented and asked that her surname not be used is one of an estimated 3000000. 00 farm workers in the us all are considered essential workers like doctors nurses and Law Enforcement but unlike them they are paid low wages have fewer Legal Protections and many lack protective gear on to seem to me the bottom line the last line think about them they dont think about. Any form workers as a group are already among the least healthy in Society Poverty lack of access to basic medical care high rates of diabetes hypertension and lung problems from exposure to pesticides means that farm workers are at high risk of becoming extremely ill or dying if they get corona virus a corona virus flare up among farm workers could spread like wild fire extremely difficult to prevent the spread if theres a theres a major outbreak in the agriculture industry even a good one outbreak among say one careless finally the contractor can cause an outbreak among the whole industry many farm operators do allow workers to practice social distancing for example by working alternate rows of crops but the pay structure discourages stringent hygiene and many workers are being paid piece 3. 00 per box to plaster 20 seconds washing your hands can feel any less secure waiting in line during a break and want to get back out there in the fields to pick up more california and a handful of other states have laws. Was providing Unemployment Insurance and compensation for injuries on the job to form workers although this United States of america do not know this is. Not the only instance for workers like maria working from home obviously is an option even stain wall sick is an impossible luxury. Im the only person in my family that is ending in income so for me its either you work or you during.

It was very smooth a lot of people like it because it concentrated more on the misses and we got to see a few of the people in that business. Of doing the draft a lot of the kind of hollywood glitz and red carpet stuff like the last few years most of missed by a lot of people of course because there is no one passport to speak of america or most of the world right now this was the big sporting event weekend and the big wins were i think more than double. This high than when the ball was a war ravens just kill this draft and they did it pretty much by sitting there and letting the draft come to them and then make a great mix with each pick they had so many teams trade up trade down try to get in the right place for a while we just got to have and the ravens just look at the board bigger out who was the best player at that time the other team i think that was really outstanding were the Minnesota Vikings who addressed their biggest needs wide receiver or who back in the 1st round were solid. After that and then posted where the. Worst teams were pretty easy to to both in the n. F. C. North Chicago Bears didnt watch while there your 1st pick in the 2nd round.
