A virtual audience this year and a lot. Of as welcome corona virus infections confirmed worldwide have now passed 1500000 with the death toll approaching 90000 some countries hope the worst may soon be over after seeing sustained drops in new cases but others are seeing fresh outbreaks hungary has discovered more than 100 infections at a senior cas center in the capital city budapest russia has seen a record daily spike in confirmed virus cases nearly 1500 new infections spains Prime Minister says the country may be nearing the peak of its epidemic lawmakers there are set to vote on extending lockdown measures by another 2 weeks and in germany the death toll climb past 2100 today while the number of confirmed infections as risen to more than 108000. Those figures roughly equal to a death rate of 1. 9 percent which is remarkably low in comparison to other western nations the german anomaly has puzzled scientists among the answers the high number of tests carried out and the country is abundance of intensive care beds but the medical system and its workers are still under enormous stress we take a look now at the worst hit state in the country and thats been varia the hospital serving the city of doth granted access to the daily war its fighting against covert 90. They fight for every life doctors and nurses in this clinic in the small bavarian city of new dar where makeshift space has become an intensive care unit for some coronavirus patients. Weve now been handling a state of emergency this massive way for 3 weeks we were prepared but its really pushed us to our Maximum Capacity weve managed to send some patients home 5 so far luckily. Its fortunate too that this clinic has 18 ventilators its only had to use 12 so far all of the patients here are in a critical condition. 2 of our 12 patients have now improved but the other 10 are still in ventilators and theyre doing quite badly or and. The clinic has been hit so hard by the virus that theyd have to decide who receives ventilator treatment and who doesnt but there is concern that this is merely the calendar for the storm. Moses or theo its so stressful and difficult to leave it behind when we go but we do our best in the struggle. Its a struggle that can escalate with shortages of the required equipment at this facility nearly everything is in short supply some reserves only last 10 days you can talk. Every day we can see shortages of any given night or if we started running low on personal protective equipment it would mean that infection rates among our staff would rise but also for other medical devices like syringes if we dont get enough we run the risk of needing to use syringes more than once and we wouldnt meet hygiene standards. This clinic is treating more than 140 patients 95 of them suffering from kovac 19 doctors and nurses are still sometimes kyra less before the disease. The worst moment was when one young patient died and another one there was personally stressful for me was when a number of our own Health Workers became infected and. The clinic in fact saw 20 doctors and nurses infected with kovac 19 all have been quarantined. One order to today all gutted it is same time but their colleagues carried on with great composure we check how they are doing constantly. The intensive care unit is quickly closed off with new patients are moved in a locked away to prevent the spread of the virus patients dying is any clinics Worst Nightmare at this facility 18 people have died of corona virus to date and they would be the last. Political correspondent hans brand from our parliamentary studio here in berlin hands staff in the clinics are barely coping as weve seen yet the death rate is relatively low compared to other countries why is that. Theres 2 factors involved here on the one hand germany per capita has the largest number of intensive care flays this and the largest number of respiratory assistance viruses ventilators. Probably that one of the lot i mean the best equipped countries in the world so while there is a strain in the Health System it hasnt been overwhelmed yet there is still Spare Capacity so everyone who really needs this intensive care can get it thats not been the case in other countries such as italy spain or now in the state of new york where some people are dying because simply there is no facility actually to look after them the other effect is a statistical effect germany does a very extensive testing for instance the United Kingdom has tested between 20300000 cases in the last 2 months germany performs well over 300000 tests every week so the more cases you discover that are positive the smaller is the proportion of the people who have died. Germany appears to have been quite successful in containing the spread of the corona virus but voices demanding a speedy end to the lock down are growing louder right now is it time. Well the German Government has been under a lot of pressure from business especially about also from sectors of the society from certain politicians its been very very cagey very careful about giving in to this pressure certain ministers have been saying today for instance that they can conceive of small steps being taken within the next say 2 weeks or so to relax the lock on and uncle america all the chancellor will be speaking to the public again this afternoon shes been appearing in public much more often than is usual for her so there may well be some relaxation as i say within about 10 days time but at the moment here in germany it is still saying that in these holiday times Easter Holiday times people really have to maintain discipline that they need to stay out need to not go out so that the rate of infection stays low speaking of discipline huns if were looking at the whole crisis so far german politicians across the spectrum really showed a great deal of unity over corona its the political jostling now increasing the fight for good starting position for the time after carone well one has to say that isnt in fact thats true you know were being ruled here in germany by a coalition of course servitors and social democrats as theyve been really cooperating very well there has been some jostling amongst the premiers of the various federal states but all in all one has to say that all Political Parties have been on one side in this crisis and the opposition parties such as the greens and the right wing populists are really nowhere to be seen and in fact that is a silver state at the moment the normal jostling the political jostling has not yet commenced again on spawn thank you very much. France has been under partial lockdown for over 3 weeks spot with the number of infections still on the rise social distancing measures are likely to be extended president im unaware mark owns you to address the nation next week to explain the path forward in paris the rules have become even stricter enforced with fines and even prison time our paris correspondent lisa lewis shows us just how small d her life as because i think confined to these 30 square meters for weeks now but i do have the right to go out once a day for one hour to do that i need to fill in this form with the day the exact about time and the specific reason for example im a lot out for an Urgent Medical appointment or if im summoned by a judge back today i have to buy food. Bakeries like this one have been allowed to stay open despite the law they are considered essential services but even here business has suffered. Our turnover has gone down by 40 percent and we have to put half of our 12 employees on temporary unemployment and we dont know for how long this will go on put markers on the ground right away it has taken some people but it is time that now most of the french understood the rules of social distancing thats quite an achievement for people renowned for their lack of discipline more and more people. Paris is normally bustling city but not these days the lockdown in france is stricter than in some other European Countries and yet not all the french are following the rules. In some prison suburbs or certain regions people are just not observing the lockdown that negates all the effort by everyone else thats why were cracking down on such behavior weve already given out hundreds of thousands of fines and breaching the rules costs a 135 euros or 200 euros the foreign legion census one person was caught infringing the lock down to 10 times in a row 4 and condemned to 3 months and prison more cuticle than a. Doctors degree people should comply with the locks and they say its the only way to slow down the spread of the virus. Plus we have run out of a veil of beds in intensive care units and have to make tough choices people over 75 years are generally no longer taken in at those units at least thats the case at hospitals here in paris and in eastern france theyre not equipped to do massive testing and hand out masks to everybody so for now the locked and well off just plain places. The government has already announced the lockdown is likely to be extended further. Right i better get myself home but before i go back into isolation is one thing i can do with my fellow parisians even if we have to keep our distance and dine in the evening applause for all the heroes in this crisis the Health Care Personnel supermarket patches and of course my local. Now lets take a look at some other coronavirus related news from around the world in america new york states reported its highest death toll in a single day from the corona virus and really 800 people died with in 24 hour period region is the worst hit in america but the states governor says there are signs the spread of the virus is slowing.

V. Lockdown but these are the inside different they have been completely sealed off while dress events in other parts of the country can step out to access essential services this is not permitted within these Containment Zones all essential services will be provided to them at their doorstep on this stretch that allege to believe and those who are backing regiments and handing them over to the Security Guard so that they could then provide these alleged abuse all these essential to the vested and inside another key difference is that while the media as a part of the central slope says is allowed Free Movement as spread it is not allowed into these Containment Zones to again break the chain of transmission now this strategy is going to be an important part of indias way forward in fighting the spread all of the code on our wireless the lockdown is supposed to end in the middle of next week but it may well be extended a decision on this is expected in the later part of this week by saturday perhaps the Prime Minister in consultation with all the local leaders is likely to come out with a decision about if this t. V. Dog down is going to be extended. Saudi arabia unilateral ceasefire in yemen fears that the new coronavirus might spread in the country it is the 1st nationwide truce in the 5 year war so the official say the 2 week ceasefire could be extended to the way for peace talks. A common sound and sight in yemens battered cities. The countrys civil war has killed over 100000 people and that millions to hunger and despair. Fears that the new coronavirus could exacerbate the situation prompted calls for a ceasefire by the un. I call on all those that can make a difference to make their difference to urgent pressure combatants around the world to put down their arms there is a chance for peace but we are far from there and they need these urgent. The conflict erupted when iran backed who the rebels took control of parts of the country and overthrew the president saudi arabia and several allies intervened with airstrikes to try to restore the government leading to 5 years of fighting and several stalled attempts to broker peace. On wednesday saudi arabia declared a unilateral ceasefire in an attempt to stop the spread of the coronavirus a local journalist says the amenities hope it will also bring peace. If there is. A serious willingness for him so how do you really have this war will end immediately and. This is why. He has. To happen because there have been you know a lot of developments a lot of. Things that are happening so the hope now is a little bit higher than anytime before in the capital sanaa defense teams disinfect the streets hoping to prevent the virus from spreading the countrys crippled Health System would struggle in an outbreak. Whether the cease fire will be successful in stopping the coronavirus or in finally ending the war will depend on the willingness of both sides to honor it. Joined by brant hes from Care International joins us from yemens capital sama what hope is that this could really pave the way for a lasting and to this war. Yes thank you and good afternoon we have course really pleased to hear about this announcement of a possible cease fire care along with most humanitarian organizations and the u. N. Has been calling for a cease fire and a comprehensive solution so we can see it is to be a great 1st step and we really urge all the parties of the conflict to take this seriously and use this opportunity to find a permanent solution for the conflict in yemen or in this ceasefire has been triggered in part at least by the coronavirus we know Vulnerable Countries are especially at risk is yemen ready to respond to an outbreak. No i think that yemen would not be ready you have to remember that there has been a war in yemen for the last 5 years the population is already extremely vulnerable you know some parts of the population are almost on the brink of starvation cholera epidemics fever and a coded outbreak here would come on top of all of those factors so it would be exceptionally hard for yemen to deal with such a situation. Comes for displaced persons for example where care is active are of particular concern what i fits have been made to stop the spread inside these camps. So i think that care along with other humanitarian actors throughout yemen we are working closely with the authorities with the u. N. To path common covert prevention measures so one of the things about yemen is interesting is that cholera has been a problem in yemen for the last 3 years but many of the prevention measures that are now global in worldwide washing your hands so full distancing good hygiene and sanitation practice are also applicable for covered so we are simply adapting our messages and alerting people what type of behavior they may need to conduct to limit the possibility of contract think of it aaron brown from Cancer National thank you very much for joining us thank you good afternoon. They Video Conference zoom is coming under increasing pressure over Security Council software has become popular with people isolating at home but house had problems with socalled zoom bombing thats where a stranger gains access to your calls now the u. S. Senate has reportedly band members from using it google also told it stuff to avoid soon although google has its own competitor video calls zoom says it has hired facebooks former security chief alex stomachs to help improve its previously protection. Well from all that im now joined by our until to. What kind of security concerns are we talking about regards as well you mentioned some of them just there i mean 1st and foremost i think on the User Experience side is this phenomenon of zoom bombing and as you said its basically where a person who should have access to a group call gains access to it in gauges in some good old fashion internet trolling i mean often what were seeing there is people just hurling abuse at some of the people that they dont know in there or and i think this is actually most disturbing for some of the users posting videos that link back to disturbing pornographic content or violent content and you might be able to be inclined to say is just kind of annoying as internet trolling were used to it all the time you have to remember there are over 90000 schools in 200 countries currently using this service to replace physical classes because the corona pandemic and of course this bombing can have a huge effect and it tends in those classes now then there are also some issues about mail where virus is being distributed through through the Service Using back hair back doors rather in the security protocol and when it comes to security protocols you know governments just as you said as well as trying to say the encryption is nowhere near as good as zoom is actually claiming thats why many of them including germany have also said that their employees their ministers shouldnt use it for services as well the military on top of that there is some Data Protection concerns you know its always a problem when it comes to these big Online Services but you know there are people saying that zoom is actually routing some their data through china and you know once it gets that far well who knows what happens to that then on top of that suppose theres a need to facebook as well so you know taken all together it really is kind of the picture of a company that may have grown a little bit too quickly and wasnt necessarily ready for the limelight lots of issues that they have 200000000 monthly uses this mob. That is so what users do to protect themselves well there are a couple of Different Things that they can do but when it comes to any tech device people hate to hear it but what i always say is read the manual and what that actually meant it really basically a pretty basic stuff but at the. The day what that means when it comes a program like zoom is check your settings because that determines what type of privileges your users have so one of the 1st things you can do is able screen sharing that prevents a lot of the zimbabwean i was talking about where people are linking back to these violent content these videos of pornography on top of that theres an option called prevent kick participants from rejoining chat and what that actually makes you able to do is once you found one of those trolls you can kick them out of the group chat and they cant use the same link to link back into the service its really useful while youre in the settings you can also disable file transfer as which prevents some of the mail issues i was also talking about earlier and thats on the User Experience side when it comes to Something Like the weekend christian or the Data Protection and data privacy problems you know were really just going to have to wait presumed to take action theres not a lot that users can do to work on that but you know were going to taking action are they doing anything well they certainly are i mean weve heard about them bringing on some people from facebook which is certainly a company thats gotten some of these teething issues out of the way you know theyve grown so large so quickly because theyve been able to address partially successful some of these Data Security issues thats certainly a good step also weve heard a statement from the c. E. O. Saying that theyre going to. Kind of slow down their production timelines are not rolling out new features instead theyre going to focus on addressing some of these Security Issues certainly its steps in the right direction but i hate to say it will just have to wait and see to see if they really manage to address the issues in a way thats satisfactory. To your business thank you very much thank you. To israel now where a nationwide curfew has come into force us part of efforts to contain the coronavirus with a possible holiday on the way normally the roads will be packed as people make their way to large family gatherings not this year so liberations will be confined to individual households as the government has banned into city travel on till friday morning to stop covert 19 spread they. Are. And this is the weekend will be one unlike any other not least interest with a nationwide curfew in effect large gatherings cannot take place one Christian Group though is helping worshipers make a digital pilgrimage to the holy city diseased. A new sunday tradition an improvised altar is assembled on this rooftop overlooking jerusalems old city since visitors are no longer able to come to the church is here the austrian hospice a catholic guesthouse is bringing the service to then virtually do you do you through. Yet still many other people cant combine you more to jerusalem we bring jerusalem to the people into their farms on their screens and t. V. And want to keep doing that during the holy week and easter. Sunday mass on a rooftop but without a congregation because the pandemic gatherings are no longer allow the Services Live streamed using a mobile phone 2 floors down in the now closed coffee shop a Young Volunteer follows the broadcast coffin for us and i think it provides a kind of support you know that even though you cant be here every sunday you can still be a part of it lets get to a list. East day in jerusalem is very different this year the normally busy via dolorosa the way of the cross is empty the church of the holy sepulcher has closed its doors most Easter Services will be live streamed instead its a highly unusual situation also for the local Palestinian Christians residents are under tight restrictions. Probably talk to family. Or. Smart we. Got used to receiving so many pilgrims in the last 2 millenia at least but this year. We want to see.
