When i think theyre going to be coming out with the regulations on and if people want to abide by it frankly i dont think it will be mandatory because some people dont want to do that with little direction from the white house states like new york left with no choice but to continue taking matters into their own hands journalist abbie and has been covering the story for us in new york following the states deadliest day so far we asked her what the mood is like there.

And d. Streets for the most part most people are not going outside of its for essential needs like growing to the Grocery Store for their essential workers but of course as the weather sometimes warms up people do get to get outside but again Public Health officials are urging people to stay home and theyre asking now the c. D. C. That is if you do have to go outside to use a face mask and they dont necessarily want you to go out and buy a medical 1951 they want you to use one from home or cloth or other fabric to cover your face because the end 95 masks of course are in desperate short supply in hospitals where. Now lets look at some more ways than 1000 is impacting of the worlds a new coronavirus testing facility has opened on the border of germany and the Czech Republic to test check workers who have to cross the border previously workers needed to quarantine for 14 days at home when returning from germany. Or the head of russias influential Orthodox Church has taken the holy icon of the virgin mary a around the streets of moscow in an effort to ward off the coronavirus. Convoy travels over 100 kilometers in the capital before bringing the icon into a cathedral for a service more than 4000 covert 1000 cases have been confirmed in russia. And france have been stopping cars leaving paris to check that people are not going on holiday authorities have warned residents to cancel any travel plans for the School Holidays which begin this weekend one man has been jailed for repeatedly violating a lockdown rules. Well as with many other countries in the world colombias lockdown has hit people without homes especially hard our next report is from nicole throw this on the streets of bogota she met a man whose work during the crisis has made him a hero for those in need. Nobody knows the invisible like this man for 15 years Orlando Beltran has been looking after the citys homeless he knows where they meet where they sleep and where they get their drugs with his n. G. O. S get that it owns the bronx banquet he provides the destitute with food clothes and a shoulder to lean on but the most important part of todays delivery are these face masks. A face mask can save many lives the drugs they smoke damage the muscles in their mouth. With little or muscle its hard for them to control their saliva. And they may accidentally spit on each other without realizing what is happening and they would lose your job. Orlandos help is needed now more than ever ever since columbia went into lockdown it has become hard for the homeless to get money begging or collecting metal and rubbish makes little sense when the only people left on the street are those with nowhere to go with police in charge of enforcing the quarantine this young man tells us hes often violently chased off the streets. Tell us to leave but if we dont tase us and beat us i do what i can to avoid that i try to collect some money and find a place to sleep. Those who can afford it escape Police Brutality in these temporary housing facilities. But sharing a windowless room with dozens of people who roam the streets of bogota during the day may well increase their risk of contracting the virus. Under these conditions orlandos masks may seem like a bandaid on a bullet wound but its all these people have and even the skeptics where their masks like shields protecting them from an invisible menace the end of the day is bittersweet for lando. Sad to leave but im happy. Because we gave them hope the hope of us coming back and bringing along the humanitarian aid for the homeless. He knows its a stretch but its this hope that its kept him going for the past 15 years. And the smiles on the faces of those he has helped smiles he may not be able to see under the new masks but he still knows theyre there. For them. Well you Foreign Ministers have held a Video Conference to discuss their a patry ation of e. U. Citizens stranded overseas 600000 citizens got stuck around the world when the pandemic hit of those at least 350000 have already been flown back home on private and e. U. Facilitated flights the rest are still waiting the e. U. Has been helping to coordinate and pay for the fights. Well as teri schultz has been following this story for us in brussels she said there is still much work to be done to ensure you citizens make it back home. What we heard after the Foreign MinistersVideo Conference today is that there really hasnt been a lot of progress in bringing home the 250000 or so e. U. Citizens who remain stranded all over the globe Foreign Policy chief Joseph Breaux pointed out to that commercial flights are canceled that transfer hubs are shut down and so people cant even take off because they might get stuck on the way so there have been about 10000 citizens brought back by special military flights but he emphasized that no one should be thinking this is the way theyre going to get home this is only a means of last resort when there is really no other way to get people out of what could potentially be a dangerous situation so German Foreign minister heikal moss at the meeting today pointed out that yes little by Little People will find ways to get home but it cant be excluded that those who are right now sitting in the colombian jungle or on some island in the philippines may have to be very patient and sit it out a while longer and more than a 1000000 people around the world now have confirmed Coronavirus Infections and over 55000 have died as we look now at the very latest developments in egypt on friday the number of corona virus cases jumped by more than 100 for the 1st time there are some 985. 00 confirmed infections there and 66. 00 deaths so far south korea has denied entry to 8 foreigners who refused to submit to quarantine measures all overseas arrivals including south korean nationals are required to self isolate for 14 days and germany now has more than 80000 confirmed cases and over a 1000 in 1000 deaths but the leader of the countrys Disease Control institute says new data is indicating a slowdown in new infections. Well as hundreds of millions of people around the world are cut off from their friends families and coworkers many are using video chats to get cabin fever and maintain some semblance of normalcy. In the popular apps zuma says its number of daily users has exploded from around 10000000 it to more than 200000000 in the last 3 months but now the f. B. I. Is warning that cyber attackers are hacking into calls shouting profanity and posting offensive images. For more im joined by our reporter jared rated tell me what exactly is going on here it was the muse now one of the biggest most downloaded Video Conferencing apps and people using it because at the moment as we know around the world countries are telling us to keep our distance from each other and so people working from home more that means they need to conference with their colleagues more teachers using it i even used it the other day i took part in a virtual pub quiz which we lost sadly but it seems that unfortunately people with some all tyria motives are getting their hands on it too and theyre hacking into peoples video chats it sounds like a bit like a prank call but its not just sort of light hearted pranking some people have said that they have been bombarded with racial slurs. In the teleconferencing and here in berlin there was a company that had to cut its meeting short to its conferencing was bombarded with swastikas and pornography so really not what you want to experience during a tele conference on how exactly are they doing this well zoom is a company that hes growing very quickly very big very quickly and its come under fire in recent weeks for privacy issues but the things ive been talking about a list to do with zoos problems and more to do with users not understanding that they need to really make the. Teleconferencing chats private now i found out that if a meeting on zoom is set to public it means that can be accessed by anyone thats given the link to the meeting so say you want to teleconference with your friends around the world if you send them a link because youve organized the meeting that link might end up somewhere outside your group and it could end up on social media like on facebook or on reddit with being posted. I think lots of people are really preoccupied with how all of our lives have changed very quickly because of the coronavirus people working from home teachers are using music theyve had to come up with lesson plans very quickly and things like internet safety an internet privacy a sort of taking a back step when really thats something we shouldnt really forget about it how can i make sure that im not zoom bombed ok so its quite simple you need to look for a function thats called waiting room its like a virtual bouncer lets you decide who can join the cole who cant its in the settings of zoom so you go to the meeting tab you scroll down to advanced sitting and youll find this waiting room spacing and apparently its a simple as that deserving is exaggerated thank you so much for that.
