A broadcaster in pakistan thats playing a Critical Role in getting information out about. The right workers desperate for money in one of the worlds biggest Garment Industries are defying coronavirus lockdown orders theyre returning to work in bangladesh saying they havent been paid for months the country is expected to lose at least 6000000000 dollars worth of exports to make up for some of it textile workers are saying masks medical grounds and other in demand a personal protective equipment has recorded more than 5400 coronavirus cases and one 145. 00 deaths and lets go straightaway to time to charge rejoins us from the capital dhaka and time to tell us more about whats happening there. Again just to give you an idea im actually a cut of the capital dhaka its called it is the center of the governments and textile industry its an industrial just 5 kilometer north. And now that industrial bell on. Another india has to be so its a hot spot right on the road behind me there was a protest because the governments were government workers rather were demanding for the late wages many of them didnt get paid columns of workers were laid off somewhere fired at least 10000. 00 workers were fired from different factories across the country many of the workers havent been paid for 2 months despite the fact the government had a bailout package of 688000000. 00 which is supposed to help the industry as well as the garment workers not the association said thats not enough to mitigate the problem there but literally 4100000. 00 government walkers mostly woman now we know that at least a 1000 factories are scheduled to reopen by today between dhaka and other places including the city of the 2nd largest city in chittagong many of the governments work are in a precarious situation that one day that both the koran of violence that worried about their safety yet at the same time then only if they dont join theyll be fired on laid off they need the salary many went back to the district town where the families leave they have to come back walking because the no transportation the logged on is still on to the 5th of may so theyre in a very complex deila main thing theyre concerned about i spoke to one of the government activists that went on Award Winning activist her name is called when i say the main concern is safety i mean did 30400 even 1000 workers could work in a big factory unless they have a real good safety measure what we know so far they have a hand washing. Gloves thats about 8 not a lot of them if one person got infected in. It could actually go into a densely populated or the areas that live in this could be a ticking time bomb so safety is a major concern theres also pressure from International Buyers to fulfill their demands and fulfilling the orders thats been already place right has many problems being faced by textile workers in bangladesh a time a child who thinks a lot to me which is preparing to emerge from the longest coronavirus looked on in the west of the daily death toll in the hardest hit European Countries has fallen to its lowest level in more than a month and its only which has seen the 2nd highest number of deaths in the world after the United States will loosen its lockdown for money may people will be allowed to visit relatives and some businesses will reopen. We have got to imagine but there are comments willing or so from me for the wholesale sector will restart but it is obvious that well need a market and therefore from 18 if we expect to reopen the Retail Sector from then were also planning to reopen museums exhibitions and libraries and sport teams can resume training we also hope that june 1st will be the date for the reopening of bars restaurants beauty salons and hairdressers basically our personal care activities. Franco is a journalist based in rome joins us from there now and sabina its been a long painful time in isolation isnt that whats the mood there now as you can see only now is beginning a very very long and painful time and i think that many italians werent exactly happy with what the Prime Minister had to say to them yesterday they felt many of them that more restrictions could be lifted and in fact they just see it as a very very long process the. Prime minister made it very clear that this was going to be a gradual reopening and this is extremely gradual because even the hairdressers will not be open before june 1st and schools will not be opened or reopened until september many parents wondering what theyre going to do with all their children at home while they have to start going back to work its a very very complex situation in this country or so there is a sense. That not enough is being done although given everything that italy has gone through youd think that some people would be where wherry of open restrictions. Yes but i think people here are suffering financially they are suffering and they really do need to get back to work and it seems that every time it becomes a lengthy a process they were expecting that this lockdown that was meant to end completely by made fools was going to be sell and in fact. It appears that now a lot of retailers will be opening until may 18th and certain other businesses cant open until as i said june 1st so although that the government is allowing italians to meet with family members but of course always at a distance and it isnt allowing people to move between regions and unless they have a valid motivation and in any case everybody still needs to carry with. A piece of paper to declare what they are doing the number of fatalities has been so high and its really must touch so many lives give us a sense of how people are feeling about the whole process of whats been happening. Well i think its been absolutely dreadful i mean we have had more than 26000 deaths and that thats a very very high number in this country of course the highest in europe and 2nd highest just to the United States for many days and we saw even the army carry away a body from the towns like bad government which were was one of the hardest hit up in the north. Obviously weve lost an entire generation of elderly people in the north of the country and this has been very very hard on many families particularly in the north. Because of the lockdown relatively early on in the north of the country. The situation has been reined in if you like in the south which was certainly positive because the Health System in the south of the country is not as good as the one in the north so there are some positive elements to this lockdown but of course its been a very long tap time its really has been under lockdown since the that the purse with in march complete knocked down that is with people having to stay indoors all this time only being allowed out to go to the shops to buy their groceries so its been very very long and people here are really very tired of this situation or thats a picture from rome and its lisa because the franken thanks a lot. Well germany is combating the spread of corona virus by making the wary of mosque compulsory while shopping or on public transport free mosques have be bait available in cities nationwide for the past week and germany has the 4th highest number of confirmed cases in europe fewer than 6000 have died which is far lower than neighboring countries. All right lets cross over to belin where dominic cain is live for us now and dominic germany has been pretty definitive in the way its approached this whole crisis and now making mouth wearing compulsory. Yes nic but the point about the compulsory nature of mosque wearing is that it is not compulsory for everybody in shops right across the country yes some of the needs to be corrected the situation is that each state has some form of mosque requirement for public transport in place everywhere so for example where i am now in berlin the buses going by past behind me people inside them after where mosques as of today as in the rest of the country but crucially here in berlin and in several other states those people can then take those mosques off if they want to go shopping in the shops that have been reopened as it were since last week since the decision was made to allow people to go back into certain shops and for shop owners to open up those shops which would shop for under a certain area surface area of shops so so it is definitely the case that although there is a mosque order in place everywhere in germany its not being enforced in the draconian manner everywhere and in so far as the numbers of cases and that sort of thing are concerned almost 6000 dead in germany right now perhaps 2 and a half 5000 of the people who are ill with corona virus in germany are in intensive care and some estimates suggest that around 3 quarters of those people are being ventilated right now that gives you an idea of the infection rate right now but it must also be said that the vast majority of the official confirmed cases in germany those people have now recovered what about the way forward or what are the next steps being anticipated. Well everyone is waiting to see how the government is going to react because anger the machall has set a date in early may where she wants she and her government want to revisit the the root relaxation off restrictions the fact that shops will reopen the fact that the mosque orders were put in place the fact that they were basically saying to shop owners yes you can reopen that sort of thing but saying to everybody be cautious in public everyones waiting to see what the governments will do on the 4th of may but its also worth making the point that theyre also analyzing the science out there the robert Coffee Institute which is the institute which tabulates all the data regarding testing regarding infection rates and people who are dying of coronavirus the science is being followed by the ministers and that will tell us a great deal more about how the government will go remember many politicians in germany was worried about the Economic Impact of corona they want to reopen as soon as possible but Angela Merkel and several of her cabinet colleagues are really on shore they say well no were on very thin ice right now lets wait and see what the science tells us or a dummy thanks very much and thats the picture in berlin and across germany Dominic Casey thanks a lot. Still ahead here on aljazeera back to school but not back to normal for some students in china. And we report from california where the spring planting is underway but is it safe.
