Famous speeches. Of the waves. Welcome to the program months long lockdown has started to ease today on the chinese city where the outbreak was 1st reported the citys drastic measures have served as a model for countries battling the pandemic around the world. Chinese authorities are now allowing residents of one more freedom of movement there is relief but also fear. As the sealed off city reopens once again. Its about time as the clock struck midnight and will hand one of the major lockdown measures was removed in travel an impressive light show marked the occasion featuring Health Workers and the words heroic city others werent pausing to celebrate instead thousands of travelers flock to catch trains or take advantage of remove from roadblocks. So. I feel great the epidemic has maybe stabilized to some extent so were able to travel now. The heart has lost a lot in this epidemic and its people have paid a big price. For the lockdown has been lifted i think were all pretty happy. Its the city where the coronavirus a break began many people have been trapped for more than 2 months they will leave for hand to rejoin Friends Family and return to work. I came back before the Lunar New Year and planned to stay for a few days it wasnt even 2 days and it was announced it would be locked down and i couldnt leave so ive been stuck in the whole time. The easing of the lockdown comes as china reported no new coronavirus deaths for the 1st time since it started publishing figures. But authorities still urged caution. Since 0 new covered 900. 00 cases does not mean 0 risk of the lifting of the knock down does not mean the lifting of Epidemic Prevention and control. Harness been breathing a tentative sight of relief more shops are open and there are more people on the street so a return to normality appears far off various restrictions on movement within the sprawling metropolis will remain in place to guard against a 2nd wave of infection. Lets bring in kind of 1500 crunch for joining me from beijing fabiani is it back to business as usual in rwanda ben. No no no thats were already far way from normal i mean its kind of a soft opening i would say the authorities are trying to control an era of principle they go with one step at a time for example now some citizens are able to leave the city and those citizens who are assigned to greek you are caught that signal Health Status as some of the residents told me that actually many of the restrictions are still in place for example they can only leave their residential compound every 2nd day and others have to report actually to their Neighborhood Committee the guys who are standing in front of the houses where theyre going before they go out so its a really toned down freedom i would say and it can be reversed any time because as was mentioned before on the video pick it there is the fia off actually a 2nd wave of infections so the authorities are cautious on the other and one resident told me that he was given actually coupons to go shopping because the authorities are also encouraging to you get the economy started so its basically yes. Its a new new opening of the city but not compared to what was normal before the virus essentially a soft easing of the london rundown but of the lockdown im sorry but theres a british Human Element to this far beyond written about a city of 11000000 forced to stay indoors for more than 2 months give us a sense of what people are feeling today. Very euphoric one resident for example told me that the 1st thing that he did when he left his compound his flat for more than 2 months he took selfies it was really really far he couldnt believe that he said and freedom so to speak up he went to the supermarket and bought from that boss voice kids because i mean they had enough to eat they had rice and even meat and vegetables but there was no sweets for the kids so he went that for the 1st time but they also lost saddest stories i mean another resident resident for example was planning to visit her 78 f. From a different province she wanted to drive home essentially but her mother and courage had because she was afraid that she might carry the virus within herself and thats a big stick make sure that people from here in china yeah theyre not really welcome in some other parts of the country because this really again theres a fear that the virus might not be defeated yet 5 in one in many ways is a postcard from the future for the rest of the world what can the world learn from rwanda. I mean in the early weeks there were also mistakes done by the authorities cetera and some of the Success Stories cannot be called beat by other countries but i said i would mention one specific thing. I mean in the beginning the all sort hes half not. And mild infections people with only mild symptoms into currency but then they realized that up to 80 percent of all the infection cast us were running through families not in the park space but in homes so they took literally everyone also with mild symptoms. To karen seen hospitals and also Hotels School buildings that were temporarily basically charon 1000 stations 500 thank you very much for that. Now lets get to the latest developments on the corner of a spend make the global death toll from covert 1000 is down more than 83000 with more than 1400000 infections since the outbreak began british Prime Minister but his johnson has spent his 2nd night in intensive care Officials Say hes in a stable condition and not on a ventilator us President Donald Trump has threatened to freeze funding to the World Health Organization accused of pro china bias and finance ministers have failed to agree on a joint plan to ease the Economic Impact of the pandemic Southern States including italy and spain on debt sharing tools old corona bones which Northern European states are rejecting a group of 165 Global Leaders have written an open letter to g. 20 governments calling for an immediate and coordinated response to this Coronavirus Crisis the g. 20 is a group of the leading developed and developing nations in the world the letter the Global Leaders warns of the virus cannot be beaten without for Health Systems especially important nations theyre asking for 8000000000. 00 in Emergency Health funding worldwide and also for emergency measures to protect the Global Economy now one of the signatories to that letter is a former swedish Prime Minister and culture of the European Council on Foreign Relations built and he joins me now from stockholm mr bill good to have you on the program is it the case that foreign nations are essentially being left to fend for themselves in a crisis that affects everyone. Theres a risk of that if we dont do enough to help and we have we have strong reason to demand the International Efforts to have all the poorer nations because if they want to do that and the crisis hits them as hard as is hitting us no then its bound to bounce back on the other countries further on. This is sort of virus this sort of the pandemic that you must fight everywhere is not that one country can do it the 2 countries can do it it has to be done all over the world in order to be successful and that the fight in helping to fight in the poor nations is absolutely essential another one how to organize others and has been heeding the Global Health response so far to this pandemic and in the letter that you have signed you also for 1000000000. 00 in emergency funding for the the word 01 how does that square with the president of the United States threatening to withdraw all spending for the image of you because its china centric. Well it doesnt gradually will be set in and it should be dealt with the president president drop i think at the last of all of that but at the press conference understood that that was a wise thing to say and to do so he backtracked and now be understands that that is unwise state to say that as being criticism because the w. H. O. That is not being perfect it would be ill fitted that it was perhaps relying too much on chinese figures thats in the nature of any intergovernmental body that you have depended upon what the Member States senate. That would be the bait about that in due time now we have to fight the crisis that we are in and w. H. O. Is deeble do that we have in the world in order to help us and it doesnt the money it has appealed for money it hasnt got the money and our appeal is rated appeal to the present World Leaders understand the severity of the crisis and do the founding always of the will the w. H. O. That is necessary what youre asking for mr proved in the center for global its all about it to you where im here in europe this appears to be missing i mean countries must him to decide on the best form of Financial Support within the bloc why conflict you come together. Why do they need will could come together but is is not entirely see that has to be said in 1st we dont know we are not at the end of the entire day we dont know how Different Countries they will be if we are still struggling with the National Programs of different sorts and they are the difference between the National Progress that we see in the different European Countries and then as a person are using the different instruments available to do the European Union and then theres quite a lot we got the of being in support make to disfigure of the European Investment bank we got the bonuses of the e. C. B. But the mix of that main has to be if they get delays as you pointed out an element of attention but they the north and south you know one of the governments in the south is the time government and its other than for demanding you Financial Support but you tweeted that thats because of course the heavy pressure from the right radical opposition and that it is playing a highly dangerous and do your game so what youre saying is its all politics then and not financial need what is financially oppressive and theres no question in europe that so there is a need for huge stumps while the only way to live at all spain and fall this is where everyone is going to be affected so its more the question of what del it is and the opposition this of the you know position if you look at itself into particular negatives that they want. Which is sort of strange because the monies that the solar day is that is now a battlefield sort of walked out of mecca does that then to set up an entirely new mechanism its essentially what they did monica. I think it might be a time consuming element that is not really have very much. Now the letter you and others wrote sais i quote our Global Economic problem requires a Global Economic response given the history of these appeals and how the world responds to it are you really hopeful that they will be a Global Economic response where if you go back to the Global Financial crisis in 2080000 night where we had sort of the World Economy in the near death experience of the Global Economy. Or the role of schillings beans might be speaking there were also. The g. 20 was the body that came together and mobilize financial. And other resources. And mobilized those chinese and the americans and the scenes together so what was done in 20082009 as a difference in the crisis is the what was then should be made to do now and hopefully what happens from a minister and quarter of the European Council on Foreign Relations called brant thank you so much for joining us on. This rising concern that the coronavirus pandemic could set off a humanitarian disaster in italy the last battlefield in the city of war a shifty ceasefire has been holding there but aid organizations warn that the province with more than 3000000 people is unprepared for an outbreak a day double team has been keeping in touch with people and this is their story. Whats it like to live in it live in constant fear of assads approaching forces in constant fear the Aerial Bombardments will resume. For weeks now 26 year old students are hazaar to our has been sending us her impressions images from the last rebel held city in syria where the coronavirus is on everyones lips about and after him taking it seriously but its difficult when i go outside i try to wear a mask and gloves i worry that my family or i will get infected im not any the ceasefire has been holding an ad lib for 4 weeks now the city is coming back to life and the streets and markets a bustling but just as people savor the sweet taste of freedom the threat of the coronavirus is looming. In other countries but the coronavirus people are cocooning the town. Nobody is taking the danger seriously everyones going shopping nobody is taking any precautions. In the refugee camps around the corona virus seems a distant threat to hundreds of thousands of people live here and die a conditions essential Health Measures such as keeping a safe distance or washing hands are impossible in many of the camps Health Workers are trying to raise the alarm however they can. Quote you will have to understand help dangerous the situation is we as doctors have extremely limited means at our disposal to tackle this pandemic. Dr catto is an anesthesiologist and general manager at one of the few hospitals still operating in edge of province hes trying to prepare the clinic even though it only has 2 intensive care beds and a single ventilator there are only 95 ventilators for the whole region with a population of more than 3000000 dr says it could get worse than an italy. Or the euro soon will have to make some really terrible decisions here the who should get a chance to live and who should be let die. Because we have no people no gloves and above all no ventilators or no clinic staff posted this photo on facebook will stay here for you you stay at home for us but the appeal has fallen on deaf ears to has stopped wearing a mask when she leaves the house she says she cant stand being stared at and laughed at any more and more tough times are ahead. The author of that report. From home here in berlin and she joins me now on the line begetter youve been in touch with your home we saw in that report while people are not taking the threat from the. Its perhaps comparable was the situation in europe because before the 1st cases were confirmed many here didnt take it seriously either and we have to understand what the people of egypt have gone through 3 months of heavy aerial bombardment which left tens hundreds of thousands homeless and now that there is a ceasefire in place they have to go out and they have to work to feed their families theres not such a thing like a welfare system in the ether province and not too much as aid organizations so if the people stay inside they have to leave their families hungry but the statistics are humbling as well i mean 95 ventilators for a region of 3000000 people how can you possibly combat coronavirus emergency if it turns out to be useful the sad truth is that they care we we talked about this with dr drew yesterday as he said he thinks that they would need at least 75000. 00 intensive care beds and they only have 200. 00 in the whole province so the doctors not really have to offer anything to future cover patients but still they try whatever they can they are desperate factoring the hospitals twice a day they are checking on pay incoming patients if they have fever but the sad truth is that the doctors are really very very concerned that there will be very many death that having been said what needs to happen to prevent some sort of a catastrophe from happening. In the face of this pandemic. I would say tests tests and more tests because the neighboring country as we know like lebanon like turkey they have a growing number of cases and its quite likely you that the virus has already arrived in but nobody knows for a long time there hasnt been any testing at all and only 10 days ago the World Health Organisation has send over some tests like 6000 tests for about more than 3000000 people and even worse theres only one lab who can proceed these tests and one person who can perform them so they dont not only need to test but they need equipment and they people who can perform this test they get social thank you so much for the. Now lets get you up to speed with the other stories making headlines around the world economists in germany are expecting the country to see its biggest quarterly decline in g. D. P. On record as a result of the pandemic leading researchers say the economy set to shrink by almost 10 percent between april and june that would be the biggest drop since the figures were 1st connected in the seventys. Its fair that if ive presented. Could be temporarily laid off during april the epidemic has had a major impact on the countrys tourism dependent economy. Is the majority of its members of a blood to suspend stuff contracts. Have imposed limits on outdoor exercise most notably jogging the measure to reduce the number of people on the streets during busy daytime. For more than 3 weeks. Forced changes to rituals and customs that used to bring people together but many are finding ways to preserve their traditions even while keeping that distance as phoebe kong found in taiwan. Temperature chats and hell hygiene come 1st even when people are meeting their ancestors spirits. And his relatives gather in the Early Morning up to him sweeping day one of the most important that stumbles in her own Chinese Culture it is the day of memorial when families face certain says strong terms together. For big families like the yes this is how it looked like before the coronavirus the largest reunion on the island where tens of thousands returned from overseas but this year it was downsized to only 30 members. On forgettable this is unprecedented in our familys history and more than a century all attendees cant have traveled overseas recently and the list of attendees is given to the government we want to avoid infections and make sure any traceable. Though the crowds are not here this year the ceremony must go on. I think. And ill carry it out in my work the official i 5 on social distancing. Offerings are even covered by plastic wrap this is only one of many traditions that are disrupted by corona virus in places like taiwan and other chinese communities where rituals can be easily compromised finding alternatives is also something that governments have to do during epidemic. Online too sweeping platforms happen set up by the authorities so that people can post ancestors who fall and pay their respect to them from home. Offerings including flowers and instance thanks just a click away you can even shared it all want to on social media. So some other men morial gatherings do took place in person but given how many didnt find the change just disrespectful. To the 3 i dont feel alone here but a greater sense of solidarity as were doing this for the public good. After thorough in tiffany they prayed for blessings and asked for their fortunes also we told our answers few of descendants of present journey to the coronavirus but we will resume next year they gave us the green light. Though to make much of that. We hope starts with their ancestors blessings the worst was soon be over. Now for more brazilian football have been produced from. Under house arrest. The best footballers of all time along with his brother whos accused of using feet all sports to enter the month to go. Until the trial after being 800000. 00 each to deny any wrong. Theyve got sun and sand and also the risk of coronavirus thats the russian oil they have the recent closure of rio de janeiros famous beechers but it stirred up debate over how far lol should go in limiting Outdoor Sports some surfers are finding it hard to resist the board of the waves. Rios copacabana beach is almost empty giving him a funny concept to surf despite the states stay at home to us but his defiance of recently got him in trouble with the police. Unfortunately i was caught surfing surfing is a crime now. If i dont end up with a criminal record or something as silly as that is the patio wasnt fined but he now has to go to court to fight the charge that didnt stop the 22 year old from going back into the water just. Rios president 2nd most infected state the governor recently closed our beaches in order to stop the spread of the coronavirus. Right now is the time to think about the collective of those who. Are suppress my desire and i catch that wave metaphorically speaking to say in the near future who flew to process but the surface to find the band dont see surfing causing any more harm than not the soul of sports. My zuki a wash i think that in the same way that people run a hike ride bikes somebody can grab a board leave the house could directly to the water puddle and go home to mama want so you guys its a strong argument that surfing does run the risk of overcrowding if everyone were to come to the beaches to surf.
