Most populous state orders its residents to stay at home a drastic measure aimed to slow the spread of the current. Class india executes for man convicted of gaining weight many celebrate them with this long overdue justice against Sexual Violence in the country. Im serious so much going to thank you for joining us the worldwide death toll mounts as the corona virus continues to spread according to the Johns Hopkins university in the u. S. The coronavirus pandemic has now claimed more than 10000 lives a worldwide now the majority of those deaths are no longer in china where the virus was 1st detected but now they are in italy almost 3 and a half 1000 people have now died from the virus there and infections in the country have now searched. Past 41000 now the region of lombardy in northern italy is the hardest hit so many people have died there in recent days that cemeteries are no longer able to cope but one party isnt the only flashpoint hospitals across the country are running out of space and doctors and nurses say they cant manage for much longer. Racing against time to provide more intensive care beds here in rome the newly built columbus covert to unit is already taking patients and more dedicated hospitals are on the way officials fear the dire situation in italys north could soon start heading south on thursday italys search past china as the country with the most coronavirus did a milestone month with grim images of army trucks transporting hundreds of coffins from the worst hit region of lombardy. As the death toll mounts 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 lombardy theres a high level of contagion and were not even counting the dead anymore the more and the lockdown means patients are having to fight for their lives without emotional support. Greatest problem which is emerging these days i would say is that the patients cant be visited by their relatives and often die on the wrong. With italys corona crisis exploding china has sent medical teams and equipment to help but the chinese red cross says the hard won advice is not being hated 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 in hotels and youre not wearing masks. Italian streets empty but theres fear theyll soon be filled with more trucks carrying bodies. Right for more of the story we can speak now to correspondent seema good the shes standing by in rome we heard that criticism from the chinese red cross worker there that people are not heeding this lockdown theyre still out and about on the streets is that true. Well what were seeing here robi said people do keep that social distance that one meter or more space right from the supermarket the lines along simply because of that space of people go a still going about in terms of taking a walk a going for a jog i think part of it is because they feel ok im taking the precaution in terms of space and also theres a frustration of being indoors all the time but because were seeing these massive numbers in terms of the number of people that have succumbed to cope at 19 and the fact that this disease this infections threads with such speed theyre now calling on everyone to change even that doctors and officials are saying do your sport at home dont go out the calling for staggering of supermarket timings so that theres a limit of people moving out is about to get a sentient supplies the authorities are saying if everyone is responsible we can actually do our part now even long buddy particularly the president of the region is calling on the authorities to bring in the army and in force the lock down they want to closure of public offices as well as Building Sites and to give you an idea a Hospital Administrator in the hardest hit town a bit will is telling the people in milan its better to isolate than to be in so clearly bringing out a very Important Message as well as mias in the smaller towns please stay at home well italy is really struggling to cope scene and we had the Prime Minister day calling on the European Union to unleash what he called the full firepower of its rescue fund for countries that are struggling just briefly as italy getting enough support from brussels and its european partners. Well what youre seeing is that you had the e. C. V. Coming in and buying up those bones which clearly in a way does help the block its but as Prime Minister conti has said this is a shock to the system without any precedent and so he wants the European Union to use that 5500000000000. Fund in order to help the economy here in italy and other european leaders are calling for the same united we are dealing with this all right correspondent seema got there reporting for us there from rome thank you very much. Now just a short while ago here in germany the bavarian state premier announced further restrictions on people aimed to curb the spread of the corona virus which has hit the state hard unlike other European Countries germany has refrained from imposing a total lockdown on its citizens and again today america so to stop short of using the term locked down in a speech of friday dark disputants upright are from friday this friday beginning tonight at midnight from for an initial period of 2 weeks there will be general restrictions on movement into varia house comes be showing through and were not closing the very year off but we shutting down public life in bavaria for almost completely by 2 for the 7th or lets bring in our Political Correspondent thomas farah with more on the story hi thomas what do these Restrictions Mean for the people of bavaria. For those who have being reasonable to me and this is in the words of the regional leader in bavaria not much will change because people who have been reasonable have stayed at home and have taken precautions but the regional leader in bavaria marcos i was actually worried about those who he described as being unreasonable who still go out and havent taken those precautions of other people that risks and thats why he announced these widespread restrictions but its important what you mentioned also in your introduction that he stopped short of calling this a general lockdown this is a very important debate thats going on here in germany right now and not only in bavaria but in other parts of the country as well amid this debate thomas i mean how close do you think we are to seeing these types of measures implemented across all of germany states and regions that depends us ensure the on what happens with the numbers of people infected if they go up or if they manage to go down a bit and 2nd what also happens with those people who again are described as being unreasonable i went today to the hobart Call Institute thats the Public Health institute here tasked with Disease Control and prevention and i put that question to the head of the whole but Call Institute what he thinks of a possible restriction there in particular of lockdowns and this is what he have to say. If we all stick to the measures that have been outlined then we can very much slow down this arc break and it might be the case that further action would need to be taken in certain regions that are facing specific conditions that its up to the discretion of the Decision Makers on the ground. And try to go for it. Very thomas he was pretty clear that if we all stick to these measures that will work but why are so many germans not following these recommendations on social distancing. Thats a big question so in particular in a country that is characterized by its structure by its discipline nothing many people still dont understand why germans are not taking enough care at least many germans and if you look for example at a survey that was actually mentioned today i dont hold a call institut only 40 percent of germans im eating less with friends and relatives 54 percent have avoided going out unnecessarily and 25 percent of those who responded that survey believe its all scaremongering again that was a survey that was mentioned on the whole but instituted by i know the foundation called big com so you can clearly understand that although many have understood the risks and whats at stake there are still many who are defying those orders and those instructions the one who are courting by the people that risk our Political Correspondent thomas spare reporting for us thank you well germanys Disease Control center says the number of coronavirus cases has jumped again they say there are now 13957 people infected and 31 people have died and as the country debates whether to impose a nationwide lockdown one city the French Quarter is going to head with stay at home orders empty streets a sign feinberg will have to get used to after all thora t. s announced a 2 week lockdown it was the 1st german city to order residents to stay at home but many are now asking themselves if the whole country could soon be stuck indoors including sarah and her friends who were out enjoying the sun together despite appeals not to is this push them best out of this 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 absolutely not most of those gathering in the park know they shouldnt be but they find it 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 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 in 100000000 but we accept it we do what were supposed to. Keeping our distance you know keeping distance Brandenburg Gate is pretty empty and those we spoke to expect a lock down its come to 9 parts of the here in a few days thats why right now. The town of heinz burg is a coronavirus hotspot in germany with already is there are appealing for a reason i love using high risk groups ourselves isolating they only go out to the doctor the orders restrict their movement to a minimum of drug to work for and by centrals. The threat 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 the mood when you find bog has taken that decision the lockdown goes into force on saturday. Now to some other corona related developments from around the world austria is extending stringent restrictions on movement until april 13th the country has reported more than 2200. 00 cases and 6 deaths ukraine expects to receive 10000000 coronavirus tests from china in the next 2 days the shipment will also include masks disinfectant and ventilators hard hit iran has appealed for International Pressure to bring an immediate end to u.

In other us states Virus 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 for the city says Testing Capacity is insufficient. Some experts believe that the lack of from the fact of testing system has allowed to corona virus to spread undetected in the u. S. For weeks. Well as cover 1000. 00 continues to impact the world we want to explore the Science Behind it spread what makes a virus contagious and what exactly happens during infection our science team took a look at how the process works. Several 1000 species of viruses have been classified so far but researchers believe millions more are left to be discovered only a tiny fraction just a few 100 cause disease in humans many of these infectious pathogens including the one that causes coded 19 are transmitted via droplets when someone whos in fact it coughs or sneezes a virus is a little more than a collection of Genetic Information protected by a protein coat its not viewed as a full fledged form of life because unlike lifeforms it doesnt make its own energy it has to steal energy to make more of itself to replicate a coronavirus has to invade living cells like those in the long of a human being 1st viruses like sars cove to duncan specific receptors on the cells or membrane once attached they can either be absorbed entirely by the cell or inject their genetic sequence into its interior the cellular machinery is then hijacked to churn out more viral envelopes and sequences when assembled the new viruses then burst out of the infected cell to infect others usually killing the who sell in the process. Our science correspondent Derek Williams put together that report for us he joins us now for more hi derek youve been following all of the latest developments on the coronavirus pandemic what are researchers talking about at the moment. Well on the prevention and treatment side of things theres been a lot of chatter about it. To develop a vaccine in the u. K. Which they found a strat the research is a set of all goes well they could have a viable candidate by this year there for much of a expert out there continues to say that we wont be seeing a vaccine before mid 2021 at the earliest theres also been a spike in excitement of a possibly treating the disease with and larry your medication but with treatment still somewhere down the line a lot of the focus is on the measures that Different Countries are implementing to try to contain the spread of disease and to what extent they can influence or accelerate whats called her immunity yeah herd immunity has been mentioned a lot there to stress in the context of the u. K. Anyway exactly does it mean. Well herb and unity is the gold in an outbreak if this was a situation where were so many people in a population are and humans are an infection that it can effectively stop the disease from spreading so people can grow immune in one of 2 different ways either they can catch the disease and build up an immune response that will prevent them from being in fact there by the same bug in the future or they can be given a vaccine that provokes the same response even though they didnt catch the disease so for the purposes of human herd immunity it doesnt doesnt really matter which of those 2 ways they develop an immune response whats important is that is the number of people who are immune to the crows in a population the slower the bug begins to spread so imagine a situation where youre at the beginning of this outbreak and no one is immune and an infected person gives it to 2 other people or once so if you percent of the population has acquired immunity then in effect an infected person can only statistically get to one other person rather than 2 because the other one would have been given that they were given to is already protected so rising immunity in the herd in societies all acts on an as as a break on the spread of the disease but theres been a lot of discussion in britain in the netherlands in particular about trying to reach herd immunity in a controlled way in their operations but that means that where we are right now with no vaccine the authorities will basically have to accept that large numbers of people are getting sick quickly so their immunity with dont protect the routes into what is a science am in can her community really work as an approach here. Well some meola just say its an interesting ivy you know or at least it would be an experimental setting but pretty much all of them seem to agree that trying to implement some kind of controlled herd immunity in a rapidly evolving scenario like the one that were in right now would be insane for a couple of Different Reasons 1st and foremost is of course the big question of immunity to the virus we soon theres going to be an immunity that after someones continent 1000 but we still dont know much about that or how long it will potentially last and allowing a virus discredit when you dont know whether people could become susceptible the 2nd time is a huge risk theres also the question of how controlled measures would remain the whole point behind social distancing measures is to slow disease spread latin occur and so youve got medicines and vaccines in place so its far too easy to imagine a scenario where intentionally allowing people to catch the disease could spiral out of control and at least for now the people that have the researchers that ive talked to and read are saying dont do it all right our science correspondent Derrick Williams reporting for us there doc as always good to talk to you. Lets have a look now at how the global Coronavirus Crisis is affecting business after Netflix Online giant you tube bill also reduce its streaming quality in the e. U.

Countdown to an execution crowds gathered outside this delhi jail to celebrate the death of 4 men hanged for a brutal rape and murder in 2012. After months of legal maneuvering and deferrals courts rejected a last minute plea from the convicts lawyer is bringing closure for the victims family. By you by taking it that way the culprits have been hanged this is the 1st time that a girl in this country who was raped has received justice i thought today march 20th is that we can do to all our daughters and women because today in their quiet justice and all the daughters of the country got justice you know.

The government was swift to convict and responded with stricter laws including the Death Penalty but its done little to keep women safe what the system going to. Be there are a lot of flaws in our system. These flaws encourage criminals and they feel that they can get away with anything because justice will just keep delaying hes appearing its a bit however today is a day when we all must resolve to ensure that the next nearby never happens.

In delhi hina misha these actually executions come 7 years after the crime what took so long to get to this point. Lets leave that bar from last minute to be your strong base but that was only im going for the last month or so will be threatened you dont actually indicate how futile as judicial system as the judiciary in the us the shots stopped there are many judges solutions last week in which they want to be used to the backlog and the fact that such accusers headlines of this magnitude 7 point us is going to be indicative of how the other cases meet and have been festering in the courts politically and now let me say i want to ask you about the influence of Public Opinion here i mean was there a criticism also of the use of Capital Punishment in this case. You didnt want what do you think you should have actually made by many accounts will very strongly theyre going to you should have said that this was true should have done that which i was just with. Ali yes that happened western hostages and many then strike activists and lawyers have a hard to say that simply executing doors hit them a treatment is not going to be enough to instill even the best in educating people in dispelling the notions of the g. O. P. But ill slip instead of behind and and of posturing the junior shooting so people who are actually people come up with a great going. To just doctor that is available right now there have been many calls for those changes the mission but how much really has changed for women in india in the last 7 years. Well the outrage after this particular. District a lot and again street and Sexual Assault in india which have meant a lot of development however you know strengths do continue to happen. Actually similarly who do you want to have happened over the last few years as well which brings me back to the point that activists are meeting their needs to be a systemic change and what and investment in the long dont seem to martin.
