A grim milestone disappointing chinas death toll from the corona virus despite a near total lockdown the cases keep mounting. Also coming up for men not executed in india a punishment for a gang rape on a delhi bus that puts the international spotlight on violence against women in the country. I want to go johnson good to have you with us. The worldwide death toll from the corona virus has passed 10000 and as infections spread the United States most populous state california has advised its 40000000 citizens to stay at home the announcement 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 very flecks a nationwide attempt to curb further spreading of the coronavirus instructions to isolate are also becoming more urgent the most populous u. S. States california issued a stay at home orders starting thursday night. Theres a mutuality 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 evening and we were confident we are confident that the people the state of california well. According to officials over 50 percent of californians could be infected with the coronavirus within 2 months spring breakers around the country have been ignoring warnings to avoid large gatherings. We do care about our concern. My thing is is that one day were going to die or so. In other u. S. States fires testing is being rolled out to provide a clearer picture of the scale of the outbreak in new york 6 drive through centers aim to test hundreds of people a day but officials have said there could be a problem sourcing enough testing kits in Houston Texas drivers and passengers queued up for over 2 kilometers to get taken the mayor of the city says Testing Capacity is insufficient. Theres not enough testing. And we hope to start tomorrow. Some experts believe that the lack of fun the fact of testing system has allowed the current of ours to spread im detected in the u. S. For weeks now. 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 of 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 are you havent 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 a device or enforcement so how will the order in california be enforced. Yeah 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 of all 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 in spite 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 the 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 tells 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 pun demick contain the pandemic or are we going to see curfews like in california nationwide why dont leave us on the theyre reporting from washington thank you so much now here in europe italy is reporting more deaths from the coronavirus than any other nation in the weald at least 3405 people have now died from the virus in italy the country has recorded over 41000 infections the region of number in the north of the country is the west hit so many people have died today in recent days that cemeteries are no longer able to cope. Theyve had to call in the army to help move the dead. This is the worst hit area of what is now the country with the most covert 19 dead. And its least lombardy region. Those trying to help the living are struggling to cope. 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. That i will simply. And those who are looking after the dying are desperate. Greatest problem which is emerging these days i would say is that the patients can 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 you can sit on the right no im just covering many of the problems of locking down the city here in the city of milan which is in the hardest a 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 HopkinsUniversity 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 water 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 outcome of this is medically 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 with absolutely not most of those gathering in the park no they 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. Because i cant see my children. For usin something you know is this and its a real shame that we cant see our children and especially our grandchildren i dont believe that we need what we accepted we do what were supposed to. Be doing our distance you know. Keeping distance but in spangenberg gate is pretty empty and those we 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 heights is a coronavirus hotspot in germany the mayor is appealing for reason i love using higher risk groups are self isolating they only go to the doctor the others restrict their movement to a minimum which they drive to work for and bios and chills. And so call from the threats of a lockdown is weighing on peoples minds. 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 or under lockdown the state premier says that soon could be expanded to the entire state. This is the site for shadows the time to make decisions we have put some measures in place and hope that they work no one should be under any illusions we are determined to do what it takes and that could mean a lockdown every. Friday has taken that decision the lockdown goes into force on saturday. Lets have a look at some of the other corona related developments around the world hard hit iran has appealed for International Pressure to bring an immediate end to u. S. Sanctions so it can import medicine and equipment desperately needed to fight the pandemic argentina has become the 1st latin American Country to introduce a mandatory quarantine it will remain in place until march 31st Health Officials in australia say nearly 3000 passengers who disembarked from a cruise ship in sydney on thursday were ordered to self isolate after 3 of them tested positive and in an encouraging sign that china is getting a handle on the crisis no new cases were reported for the 2nd consecutive day in the city of one the original epicenter of the outbreak. Asian shares rally it on friday after wall street closed in the black south korean chest surged more than 5 percent in hong kong stocks gained 2. 8 percent investors seem optimistic after governments and Central Banks wheeled out measures to cushion the economic fallout from the pandemic and theres more to come china is reportedly set to unleash trillions of one of fiscal stimulus and in the u. S. The senate is mulling a one trillion dollar package that would include support checks for most americans and relief for small businesses. For more lets bring in our market correspondent andrea hang in singapore under asian stocks are looking better today are those stimulus measures from the u. S. To the European Central bank finally kicking in. My case certainly looks that way you can tell from the smile on my face that were all breathing a brief relief the injections from the major Central Banks around the world including here in singapore have certainly given the stock market some room to breathe and not just marginally as well the home saying is up at 2. 8 percent here in singapore the benchmark s. T. I. Is gaining a healthy a 1. 7 percent as of a few minutes ago now this is mostly the results all of you know the Central Banks and the governments putting together the resources and Financial Support to prop up the economy prop up any credit markets that are out there just to bring some relief to the aging economies that i just really from the coronavirus right and of course we keep hearing good news from china saying there werent any locally transmitted cases for the last few days didnt they stress trust those they get. Well i think Investors Trust them enough to be encouraged by them but i think it is still too early to say because even if that was the case i think investors are still very wary of cautious of the virus situation that is outside of china now in fact if you take a look at italy theyve already set up costs to chinas death toll well cost of 3000. 00 mark that theyre still having problems in the u. K. Trying to contain the virus and the u. S. Is fast catching up as well and not in a very good way so but what the numbers do help with is to push and nudge the Chinese Government to pump in the extra stimulus to help. To help the provinces that are hardest hit by the risk making sure that you know theyre ready to get back to business all right andrea hang there reporting from singapore thank you. In other news 4 men have been executed in india for a brutal gang rape and murder that sparked nationwide protests the men were hanged to adorne in a delhi prison after the Indian Supreme Court upheld to the death sentences 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 lead to new anti rape laws in india and for more lets cross over to london and jess wall in delhi the executions went ahead after last minute appeals were turned down what role did public pressure play in this case more chaotic russia. Called me and then perception and on the last 7 years and not just on behalf of young women that have been white ones for the all these 4 men an audit of the us and wants a precedent why didnt we john down by judicially but the passage that was actually on the bottom that theres no solution given must. Be using you should get it out even on the Law Enforcement response jack shining to find Different Reasons but this was this this does not happen and this is now finally there is also in india this was justice long coming this is what we. Have to see 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. Well marco 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 represent all the west is on the ground will be here several people are coming out of this place the fact that captain punishment cannot be simply seen at the only lead to ensure the women in there are need to see you see i need to feel like the occupier obviously since feet because even in the last 7 s. When have seen instances on my answer answer and many rights activists are actually stepped out of this excuse and should not have been counted on the similarity that should instead be put in not only down to usual of badness in long dont want to submission not just of the men but of manslaughter and ensuring that women can see and one of the important aspects to this will be found tutorship in india asked additional beachy are you one such backward to believe this was something to eat more or less you are there was an attempt by. Actually conduct masculinity what shops in schools to meet young wise think about what really is there and will in the house well clearly are there their own struggles that bottles and others and what kind of men believe one man that. 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 chose do you agree do you disagree or are you under 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 should 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. 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 i wasnt though. This is what the center for equal to going to include the ngo that runs the sessions is hoping for. That engaging boys and this each will encourage empathy and respect in the long run. Id like to mark 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 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 the doors while it that the new rules now discriminate against men these. Men are being wrongfully accused under these a little that is the wrong but authority totus like there is 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 take on jew advantage. Theyre not in my life i though the. Even those who are innocent are sometimes hold out for their needs to be stronger investigations and protections for men but in. The us worse is them starts early. As the boys and girls keep to themselves then 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 oth 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 widespread thought to ask for i want this incident actually did she thought. This have you normally meant that in the last 7 years if you do not continue to see unifying. Limits rights activists wanted for and went in and shot and young people men boys and girls change that perception about gender rights and people judicially. Are actually addressing these so that the back. Is not as you had nimish i just well in daily thank you so much for bringing this story to us as people everywhere try to protect themselves from the coronavirus Hand Sanitizers have become a prized commodity in some cases selling for outrageous prices on line if you can find them at all the main ingredient is alcohol which means the new heroes of the day include din makers yes gin makers are trying to fill the hands on the ties the gap and stop the profiteering gin and Hand Sanitizer supplies for the pandemic now available at the same spot. Its all about alcohol and these people especially us but well gin is about 40 percent alcohol virus killing Hand Sanitizer needs to be at least 60 percent. Will be complicity were actually using the same ingredients so for all intent and purposes you could say its a very very strong gin we would absolutely not recommend it to get this irish distillery has stopped making new batches of gin all together its now all about Hand Sanitizer what weve sold is a fraction of whats needed as an absolute fraction of whats needed so we you know again there are loads of other distilleries the can do this and that are doing this not just in ireland across the atlantic this gin distillery in pennsylvania is doing the same thing. We have shifted focus from making beverage alcohol products and put a 100 percent of our resources towards making Hand Sanitizer for the community. The labels for the new project line dont even have prices after seeing people selling sanitizer online for hundreds of dollars the boss here decided to give it away. I was googling how much is Hand Sanitizer and we came up with the very 1st result longer was 320. 00 for a one out i think thats ridiculous it shameful and we want to be the antidote to that we want to provide Hand Sanitizer to anybody that needs it we want to push it out to our Charity Partners or local partners that we work with every single day. The attitude here is a tonic in these days of pandemic price gouging for basic products to keep people safe. This is d. W. News and this is a reminder of our top stories.
