A grim milestone suppressing chinas death toll from the coronavirus despite a near total lockdown cases keep mounting. Also coming up for men executed in india punishment for a gang rape on a delhi past that put the international spotlight on violence against women in the country. Im monica jones in berlin good to have you with us. The worldwide death toll from the corona virus has surged past 10000 and as infection spread the United States biggest states california has advised its citizens to stay at home california governor Gavin Newsome says residents have to severely curtail their movements to prevent the Health System from being overwhelmed by kovac 9000 patients theres a mutuality and theres a recognition of our interdependence that requires of this moment that we direct a state wide order for people to stay at home that directive goes into force in effect this is evening and we were confident we are confident that the people the state of California Well abide by miss is a moment we need to make tough decisions this is a moment where we need some Straight Talk and we need to tell people the truth we need to bend the curve in the state of california the announcements in california follows an extraordinary alert from the u. S. State Department Americans have been told not to travel out of the country under any circumstances citizens abroad should return to the u. S. Immediately unless they plan to remain overseas. U. S. Airports are grinding to a halt this empty airport in seattle reflects a nationwide attempt to carve further spreading of the coronavirus instructions to isolate are also becoming more urgent stay home social distancing just stay away from people stay away from these people even in new york city pork sure all clustered together i dont know what to think stay away from people a person can infect you and they wont even know that they have the virus spring breakers like here in miami have been ignoring warnings to avoid large gatherings. We do care about our holidays like a big concern but my thing is is that one day were going to die and so. Gradually Virus Testing is being rolled out to provide a clearer picture of the scale of the outbreak 6 drive through centers in new york are hoping to test hundreds of people a day but officials have said there could be problems sourcing enough testing kits. In Houston Texas drivers and passengers queued up for over 2 kilometers to get their swabs taken the mayor of the city says Testing Capacity isnt sufficient theres not enough Testing Available right now to meet demand we hope to start tomorrow that will be a limited basis and primarily the focus will be on 1st responders and Health Care Providers it is believed that because of the lack of an effective testing system the corona virus has been spreading undetected in the u. S. For weeks. Now for more lets cross over to correspondent all of us in washington all of us and now the u. S. Is tightening controls to spread the curb and the state of california is even going a step further why has the governor all for california decided to take such measures. Well this is all about flattening the curfew really about. Containing the outbreak of this virus monica and dont forget that the test in the United States just started this week and since then the numbers of corona cases have skyrocketed in fact a double just within 2 days were now counting almost 14000 cases in the numbers will go up significantly higher as the tests continue here across the u. S. And california is one of the hot spots here with almost 1000 cases counted so far and get you havent used them wrote a letter to President Trump in saying that he expects that the numbers will go up even further that almost 60 percent of all californians will be infected within just 8 weeks if there are no drastic measures put in place and is also forget were talking about the most populous states in the u. S. With 40000000 citizens now weve seen in other parts of the world also here in europe that people dont always its here to such advice or enforcement so how will the order in california be enforced. Now thats of course the crucial question because there was a shelter in place order already in place for San Francisco for l. A. And a lot of people ignored that and went on about their everyday lives and that was the case also across the United States a very controversial issue here was the one of the spring breakers celebrating at the beaches of florida in spite of the ongoing pandemic but despite of all of that govern use some said he believes its not necessary to enforce this order he believes californians will simply comply because of social pressure and because of the mere existence of this order now going by those latest developments in the u. S. Do you think said a move could force u. S. President s to trump to change his stance on the crisis. Well hes already changed right so just remember a couple days ago he was talking about the corona epidemic and comparing it like a flu it to a flu and then just a few days later calling a nationwide state of emergency there are now plans of the white house to spend one trillion u. S. Dollars for aids. Families are supposed to receive 1200. 00 u. S. Dollars so theres a lot of effort being made to help the people of the u. S. Government is preparing for 18 months on going pandemic and the big question is certainly will the testing that is underway help contain the pandemic contain the pandemic or are we going to see curfews like in california nationwide and all of us only there reporting from washington thank you so much. Well here in europe to the is reporting more deaths from the corona virus than any other nation in the world at least 3405 people have now died from the virus in italy the country has recorded over 41000 infections the region of number d. In the north of the country is the west hates so many people have died there in recent days that symmetries on no longer able to cope. Theyve had to cool in the oh me to help move the dead. This is the worst hit area of what is now the country with the most 19 dead. And italys lombardy region. Those trying to help the living struggling to cope. You know we are moved to d. C. Where working in a state of very high stress and tension psychological stress has gone through the roof unfortunately we cant contain the situation in mumbai theres a high level of contagion and were not even counting the dead anymore. Look at the news thats coming out of italy and take note of what the situation really is like its unimaginable. My best to you all lets keep smiling and stay strong you know he said. I will simply die. And those who are looking after the dying are desperate. Greatest problem which is emerging these days i would say is that the patients cant be visited by their relatives and often die on their own. Weve started a service in which we contact relatives on the phone to explain to them what is happening so there is at least some contact patients who are able to can call themselves but the older patients arent able to because they just arent used to it. So we try and keep in contact with the family. As a sleaze corona crisis exploded chinese officials who seem to have their side of the pandemic under control sent medical teams and equipment to help. Yet the chinese red cross says their hard won advice is not being heated in italy. Right know im discovering many of the problems of locking down the city. Here in the city of milan which is in the hardest hit region you dont have a very Strict Lockdown policy the public transport is still working and people are still moving around and youre still having dinners and parties and hotels and youre not wearing masks. Italian streets are empty but for many there haunted by the prospect of more trucks and more bodies. The number of cases here in germany is also climbing rapidly Johns Hopkins University Says more than 15000 people have tested positive for the disease here 44 people have died earlier this week chancellor Angela Merkel appealed to germans to stay indoors to help slow the spread of the disease since then more and more senior figures say appeals are not enough and that the authorities need to start imposing lockdowns one german city has already taken that step. And the streets a sight freiburg will have to get used to after the authorities announced a 2 week lockdown is the 1st german city to all the residents to stay at home many are now asking themselves if the whole country could be stuck indoors soon including sarah and her friends who are out enjoying the sun together despite the appeals not to. Is this push them best adamant that is mentally better so people dont get infected and the hospitals are already overstretched but its hard to imagine in a country with so many people like germany. So youre not thrilled thats absolutely no and most of those gathering in the park know this shouldnt a fact they find hard to accept in this residential area nearby many are staying at home but its hard. To get im not doing well im going to cry. And it might be because i come see my children. So you saying something you know theres this and its a real shame that we cant see our children and especially our grandchildren i dont believe that we need but we accept it we do what were supposed to. Keeping our distance you know. Keeping distance but in spangenberg gate is pretty empty and those who spoke to expect a lock down its come to 9 parts or be here in a few days thats why right now. The town of hindsight is a coronavirus hotspot in germany the mayor is appealing for a reason. I love music high risk groups ourselves isolating they only go out to the doctor the authors restrict their movement to a minimum wage they drive to work for and buy centrals. The threats of a lockdown is weighing on peoples minds. If i had experience in the biggest loss of personal freedom since the 2nd world war 2 weeks ago there were soccer matches with 50000 fans its not easy to change so radically from one day to the next the government is trying appeals if they dont work bans on going out will follow. 3 communities in bavaria are under lockdown the state premier says that soon could be expanded to the entire state this is the site for in china was the time to make decisions we have put some measures in place and hope that they work no one should be under any illusions were determined to do what it takes and that could mean a lockdown is contrary to every freiburg has taken that decision the lockdown goes into force on saturday over to our Political Correspondent Thomas Sparrow tell us how close are we to seeing a nationwide lockdown here in germany. I think were moving in that direction and weve already seen as we saw in that report 1st communities and cities that have taken that decision but that essentially depends monica or where the numbers of infected people go down so far what weve heard from officials here in berlin from federal officials is that the very reluctant to order lockdown and thus probably one of the reasons why Angela Merkel in a very unusual move decided to have that televised address a few days ago in which she appealed to people to participate to take part in old days to keep their distance to stay at home so so far officials here in berlin a hoping that people will heed of that advice and will stay at home but if numbers continue to raise if the problem continues to increase then it is very likely that indeed there will be a lockdown in germany with some of the usual action is already being taken the army is usually not part of germanys every day life not germany has around 115000 Army Reservists how far is the government going in making use of them. And some of those reservists monica have already decided to present themselves and offer their help their office it depends on whether they get support from their own employers but as you said its very controversial in germany anything that has to do with the German Military there has to do with germanys history obviously and there are ways that the German Military east preparing to participate in tackling this crisis in particular what weve heard from defense officials is that the poor could participate for example in protecting Critical Infrastructure or distributing medical equipment are another issue if the situation continues to worsen isnt setting up makeshift hospitals but again this is a very controversial issue and one that will be discussed a lot in germany before it actually comes to happen and i dont know about you but whenever i leave the building after work going home i still see a lot of people assembling gathered in groups especially in parks here in berlin and your assessment how worried germans about coronavirus germans are worried and thats not my assessment those are actually polls and surveys that have come out in fact a new poll revealed that 48 percent of germans worried about being infected thats more than 2 weeks ago but at the same time 65 percent of germans say theyre happy or satisfied with the way their government is handling this so you have these 2 different opinions on how germans view the current Coronavirus Crisis thomas there our Political Correspondent thank you so much for that. Lets have a look at some of the other corona related to developments around the world the olympic flame has arrived in japan amid mounting doubts that the tokyo 2020 games can proceed but officials insist its too early to call off the worlds biggest sporting event which is due to kick off on july the 24th iran has appealed for International Pressure for an immediate end to u.

For men have been executed in india for a brutal gang rape and murder that sparked a nationwide protests the men were hand at dawn in a deli prison after the Indian Supreme Court upheld their destiny and says its been more than 7 years since they attacked a 23 year old student on a city bus the victim died of her injuries days later the case triggered outrage around the world and led to new anti rape laws in india. And for more lets cross over to correspondent. In delhi the executions went ahead after last minute appeals were turned down what role did public pressure play in this case. My mom got the question of. Me and has then perception and on the last 7 you know and not just on the family but on them and see that i have been violent ones for the hangings all of these small men an audit of the us and the president why did it with john judicially by the president that was actually on the public theres no bush should be forgiven must have been you know even using you should be even and are leading up to the execution of these funds its trying to find Different Reasons but this was this is not. And this is not finally there was also a response in india this was just a long time i mean this is one of the. Salute to his mother had to say this is also what the prime minister. And so everybody called for justice and now that the execution happened what are the reactions across the country. But mark i mentioned that has the main weisss. Which are not i mean the fact that the same has finally been carried out but this is not representative of all the west is on the ground will be here several people are coming out of the science the fact that after punishment cannot be simply seen and the only lead in shock the women in doubt are new to see you see i me to feel it the occupier obviously since feet because even in the last 7 years we have seen instances on my hands of cancer and many rights activists are actually stepped out of this execution should not have been counted on the similarity or shouldnt stand in not only down to use one of their nests in long. Beach and not just of the men but of minutes left in ensuring that women can see and bind the important aspects to this would be trying to to shift in interest additional riccio one such act were to believe this was something to eat more or less you argue there was an attempt by on only she actually conduct masculinity what insolence to meet young what is think of our what really is the animal in the house whats really are there their own struggles that models and others and what kind of men believe one man the. This is not a usual school day for 7th grader saying. The questions he is being asked are more open ended than usual a man should have the final say in every decision made in the house the trainer says he has to choose do you agree do you disagree or are you on the side of. The 12 year old boys run to their corners. One group says both parents should have equal say. A few others say the older wiser one showed hesitantly indicating the man. There are no wrong answers. The goal of the session is to provide an open platform to talk about the notions of sex and gender that these boys have grown up but topics that are rarely brought to the trainer follows up the simple question. Is bearing children the only role of a woman. Is it physically possible for women to do the work that men do. Ajeet has been attending these sessions for 3 months now he says he has learned a lot about the importance of equality at home at work and in school. I want to tell my father that he should never revolve with my mother and i can do my share of the chores at home just like my sister. Got theirs what is up though. This is what the center for equal to going to include the n. G. Or the drones these sessions is hoping for. That engaging boys and this age will encourage empathy and respect in the long run. Id like to model that like today the boys are talking about the unpaid work of their mothers the need for women to participate in Decision Making and for men to help out at home and this is an important 1st step. Change will be an uphill task while many men and women rallied to strengthen indias laws on rape. There has been a backlash by those why would that the new rules now discriminate against men these. Men are being wrongfully accused under these a little bit is it wrong but i thought it would its like theres a Womens Commission here we need a mens commission to that the. Rules are good but theyre very often misused in most cases the women taken jew advantage. Theyre not in my life either the. Even those who are innocent and sometimes hold out for their needs to be stronger investigations and protections for men but until the government is here. The us worse is them starts only. As the boys and girls keep to themselves their notions of the other can be heavily biased. In another school the workshops are just beginning the boys are calling out the differences between men and women men can wear what they like women must come home on time men can endure more pain them and dont enter politics. Between artists but is a woman physically unable to do any of these things. Slowly but surely the perceived differences are starting to disappear you know. So in emissions thank you very much for this report interesting so some things have changed but how much has really changed for women in india since that shocking killing 7 years ago. Well monochrome why its smart to ask what all of that all of this incident actually did change laws against rape and. This has been normally you mentioned that in the last 7 years the law continued to see human strength again so that when the limits rights activists wanted Foreign Investors went in and shot in that young people that men and boys and girls change that perceptions of gender and i think will be judicially. Are actually addressing these cases so that the back. Is not as you know i think he said yes well in dates thank you so much for bringing this story to us. This is d. W.
