Celebrate the move as a long overdue justice against Sexual Violence in the country. Im serious i was going to its good to have you with us the worldwide death toll continues to mount as the corona virus keeps up its rapid spread now according to the Johns Hopkins university in the u. S. The coronavirus pandemic has now claimed more than 10000. 00 lives around the world the majority of those deaths are no longer in china where the virus was 1st detected but now in italy there are almost 3 and a half 1000 people have died from the virus and infections have searched past 41000 or 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 lombardi isnt the only flashpoint hospital. 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 dies situation in italys north could soon start heading south on thursday italys search pos 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 mumbai. Theres a high level of contagion and were not even counting the dead anymore. 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 mobile 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 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 that shes standing by in rome hi sima we heard that criticism from this 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 in rome is that people do keep that social distance meter or more space right from the supermarket the lines along simply because of that space of people go a still a go 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 angle so 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 infection spreads 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 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 in long body particularly the president of the region is calling on the authorities to bring in the army and enforce the law 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 people is telling the people in milan its better to isolate than to be in so britt clearly bringing out a very Important Message as well as me as in the smaller towns please stay at home while italy is really struggling to cope cmon we had the Prime Minister today calling on the European Union to unleash what he called the full firepower of its rescue fund for countries that are struggling just briefly is italy getting enough support from brussels and its european partners. Well what theyre saying is that you had the e. C. V. Coming in and buying up those bonds which clearly in a way does help the markets 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 50500000000000. 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 sima got there reporting for us there from rome thank you very much. Now with nearly 2000 new cases in a single day the corona virus is spreading rapidly throughout spain it is the worst affected country in europe after italy and concerns are growing that the countrys Health Care System cant cope with the crisis correspondent young Philip Schultz reports from a country that is struggling to curb the pandemic doctors and other Health Care Workers spains new heroes that work has never been as crucial as it is now over time emergency measures and preparations for worst Case Scenarios of the order of the day staff are too overwhelmed to speak to the media eventually we managed to reach a spanish doctor by telephone who was working across the board in from. Marietta oh i know you and your colleagues feeling at the moment. Well let us. Just say peoples eyes. To the leg that was better quality of life. Im not. Sure 3 weeks to live oh i think they should all oh really but yes i think just. To walk my dog for something gives what can each of us do know either she is shot. But generally she.

The association of spanish Emergency Physicians warns that thousands of lives of threatens the current lockdown measures arent abates spain only has 5000 beds and intensive care units Many Health Care institutions have been privatized in recent years but due to the current emergency they are now partially back under state control. Critics say the continuous cost cutting in the Health Sector has contributed to the Current Crisis but most spenders agree this is not the time for political debate this is the time for fast action more and more people join a social Media Campaign and try to support Health Workers in their very own way. Every even a good age oclock sharp people dont spray tape to get by police to applaud their view its a ritual they hope to get medical workers to do to help them get through these difficult days. Here in germany the head of the state of a varia has announced further restrictions on people aim 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 marcus so just stop short of using the term lockdown and his speech up for dark speech its for writers from friday this friday beginning tonight at midnight initial period of 2 weeks there will be general restrictions on movement in the very special. Were not closing but very year off but we shutting down public life in bavaria almost completely by a nod to fullest and lets bring in our Political CorrespondentThomas Sparrow with more on the story hi thomas what do these Restrictions Mean for the people of the varia. For those who have been 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 mark was that i was actually worried about those who he described as being unreasonable who still go out and havent taken those precautions of other people at 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 depend a century 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 whole but Call Institute thats a 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 possible restrictions or in particular of lockdowns and this is what he had to say. If we all stick to the measures that have been outlined said 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 this is up to the discretion of the Decision Makers on the ground. And try to go forward 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 are meeting 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 another 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 instruction the one who are courting by the people that risked our Political Correspondent thomas spare reporting for us thank you meanwhile germanys Disease Control center says the number of coronavirus cases here has jumped again there are now 13957 people infected 31 people have died as the country debates whether to impose a nationwide lockdown one city near the French Border has gone ahead with stay at home mortars empty streets a sign feinberg will have to get used to after all florida keys 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 mission best outcome of this is mentally better so people dont get infected and the hospitals are already overstretched but its hard to imagine a country with so many people like germany. So youre not thrilled with absolutely no and 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 that its hard. To get im not doing well im going to cry. Because i cant see my children. For use in something you know is this and its a real shame that we cant see our children and especially our grandchildren i dont believe in him but we accept it we do what were supposed to. Do to bring our distance you know keeping distance the Brandenburg Gate is pretty empty and those we spoke to expect a lockdown its come to 9 parts or be here in a few days thats why right now. The town of heinz berg is a coronavirus hotspot in germany now thora hes 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 which they drive to work for and by centrals. The threat of a lockdown is weighing on peoples minds. Before you 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 board has taken that decision the lockdown goes into force on saturday. Lets look now at how the global Coronavirus Crisis is affecting business after Netflix Online giant you tube will also reduce its streaming quality in the European Union thats to avoid straining the internet as a high number of people switch to working at home and also watching videos there some European Telecom providers have reported a spike in data traffic in recent days. The restaurant chain vacchiano can no longer pay its bills the company had to close virtually all of its eateries due to coronavirus bankruptcy courts proceedings are expected within the next 3. 00 weeks the german one chain of italian restaurants is hoping to get out of the situation with the help of government and programs. German economy minister pay to admire wants to loosen antitrust laws to allow greater cooperation between Retail Businesses in the fight against the corona virus the magazine dash spiegel hopes all buyers saying that the government is willing to allow closer cooperation between the Food Industry and the Retail Sector to secure supplies in germany. And south korea like in many other countries the pandemic has caused massive disruptions to daily life after china south korea the hardest hit country in asia many people there are staying indoors others and Quarantine Church services and large get togethers have been suspended concerts Public Events have been banned but the consensus there is that social distancing is the price that must be paid to beat the virus. So 3 is one of the most densely populated countries on the planet people are used to being around others so how do people here feel now that social distancing is keeping them apart some say phone calls and online chats will suffice for now. When its not on the coronavirus hasnt weakened our communication with each other we use smart phones to keep in touch a lot so although we cant meet our relationships havent really suffered. For Many South Koreans membership in a club or a Church Provides a Strong Social fabric and sense of identity although many people are out about their business its not quite the same as getting together with a large group of friends which is frowned upon because of the risk of spreading the virus. How does it feel to be one of those in isolation mother of 2 and daycare manager kim you saw had close contact with an infected person at a clinic and spent more than a week in state monitored quarantine. And then found your. People might look at you strangely when they 1st hear about your situation ive heard that some people get depressed but when i was in my room i read the bible and sang hymns so i want to tell people not to worry too much. Many South Koreans especially Young Mothers are strictly following the governments advice base on me has rarely ventured out or met friends over the past month still shes optimistic we all know this corona 19 crisis will definitely end at some point and i hope that even if its prolonged if we dont get too depressed we can overcome it we just need to stay positive. In times of uncertainty people can let their routines fall to the wayside but psychologists say its precisely those rituals that help keep stress levels down but i think. This is a time when big adjustments are necessary we have to cope with social distance in isolation on a day to day basis so its important to do the Little Things such as keeping our routines so we maintain a sense of control that. Our worries can also manifest as irrational and obsessive behaviors like hoarding food or supplies psychologists say this will pass once the situation gets under control. Moving away from the koran a virus to another story one thats strong a spotlight on violence against women in india for men have been executed there for a gang rape and murder that triggered nationwide protests 7 years ago the man attacked a student on a city bus the victim died of her injuries days later the case sparked outrage against the world and led to new anti weight loss in india. A 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 in deferrals courts rejected a last minute plea from the convicts lawyers bringing closure for the victims family. By live by to take 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. Today march 20th is that it can do to all our daughters and women because today in their cry of the justice and all the daughters of the country got justice you know. Theyd be. All feel as one was the name given to the 23 year old student who was attacked and raped in a delhi boss and left bleeding on the side of the road she later died of her injuries. The attack spocks mass protests and shown a spotlight on the widespread Sexual Violence in india. The government was swift to convict and responded with stricter laws including the Death Penalty but its done little to keep women safe. What a system going the boats ready coming our boats and if there are a lot of flaws in our system. These flaws encourage criminals and they feel that they can get away with anything you want to because justice will just keep delaying hes a fitting into that however today is a day when we all must resolve to ensure that the next nearby never happens those who need to be on the only thing. Friday close the chapter on the right case that shocked india. But away from the headlines there are tens of thousands more still awaiting trial. But can speak not to do. Well in delhi hina mischa these actually executions come 7 years after the crime what took so long to get to this point most of you never far from last minute to be your friend on base but only im doing well the last month or so will be 7 years actually indicate how futile gesture to shut this down as the judiciary in the must be shot stop there are many job just like the sions last week in which one should be used to the backyard and the fact that such a piece of headlines in this magnitude 7 point us is going to be indicative of how wrong other pieces may be kicking and festering into whats going to hear. Them 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. So you dont want what you think you should have actually made by many accounts will very strongly theyre going to get you should have said that this was shown to deliver justice to the victims family colleague yes that happened western operators is a 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 most in educating people in dispelling the notions of the g. O. P. Because a lot of the gender based violence and of course gender in the gender shooting. Actually come up with a great going. To just doctor that is available right now there have been many calls for those changes in the mission but how much really has changed for women in india in the last 7 years where the outreach after this particular. District a lot and yes treatment specialists lacking in doubt which have been a lot of development how are you describing do continue to happen. Actually similarly good to you that have happened over the last few years as were speaking back to the point that activists are meeting their needs to be a systemic change and what and investment and dont you into knots and. Decided to put the question of Sexual Assault weapons all right our correspondent nic as well reporting for us there in delhi thank you so much. Now the olympic flame has arrived in japan ahead of the game schedule for the summer despite fears that they may not take place at all a flame began its tour in northern japan in areas hit hardest by the 2011 tsunami a Nuclear Disaster hundreds of people turned up to catch a glimpse despite warnings not to do so because of the coronavirus there are growing calls to postpone the games to be held in july because of the pandemic. Well as people everywhere try to protect themselves from the coronavirus Hand Sanitizer has become a prized a commodity in some cases its selling for outrageous prices on line if you can find it at all the made ingredient is alcohol so some people are turning to gin makers to fill the Hand Sanitizer 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 of specialists but well gin is about 40 percent alcohol virus killing Hand Sanitizer needs to be at least 60 percent. But recently were actually using gradients so for all of them purposes you could say its a very very strong we would absolutely recommend it to drink its this irish distillery has stopped making new bunches of gin all together its now all about Hand Sanitizer what weve sold is a fraction of whats needed as an absolute fraction of what it is so we you know again there are loads of other distilleries the can do this that are doing this not just in ireland. Across the atlantic distin distillery in pennsylvania is doing the same thing. We have shipped shifted focus from making beverage alcohol products and put a 100 percent of our resources towards making hands that size or for a 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 on the wars 328. 00 for a one else bottle 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 our local partners that we work with every single day take the attitude here is a tonic in these days of pandemic price gouging for basic products to keep people safe.
