And the d w exclusive indian author are inducted drawing accuses Prime Minister director modi of using the growing the virus crisis to spread hatred of muslims. Im sorry kelly welcome to the Program China is reeling as the full impact of the coronavirus lockdowns becomes clear 1st the economy was taking a hit with figures for the 1st 3 months of this year showing the 1st drop in output in almost 30 years now the 2nd blow is new figures revealing that the death toll in the city of well han where the virus was 1st detected is half as much more than previously reported our report starts with the slump in the economy. The lockdown may be lifting but the virus has left its mark for the 1st time in decades chinas economy has plummeted people can return to work but with virtually no demand many businesses remain closed. Car sales that 1st dropped then plummeted down 21. 6 percent in january then down 92 percent in february according to the China Association of automobile manufacturers. China home to the worlds 2nd largest economy has released its 1st quarter g. D. P. A drop of 6. 8 percent millions of workers do not qualify for Unemployment Benefits and many businesses are on their knees what should be peak season for many is now the worst in recent memory. Because the situation is dire. Its as us was for me. Ive got no idea how to get through this year. Theres no hiding from reality my business might not survive this year and i might be unemployed. Next year i dont know. Chinese officials released another startling figure the number of coronavirus deaths in has been raised to almost 4000 thats a 50 percent increase from earlier numbers the news has fuelled concerns that china has covered up the true extent of the outbreak an accusation the country denies so lets get more now we are joined by a member of the German Parliament good heartiness the Foreign Affairs spokesperson for chancellor Angela Merkels conservatives welcome to the program and thanks for joining us. Id like to begin by asking you are you concerned that china has covered up the true extent of the outbreak there. You know we have some concerns going certainly to china 1st i would like to mention that in case that international has done us like the euro and us would be also respected in china and certainly live stock markets and wild animal markets potentially the jump from the virus for an animal to human being could be hindered and i think we know about the risks that. Will be around us might be transferred from animals to people since decades and there are china government also w h o what can we do to make higher standards. That Something Like protection we have to do and not technical talk to us a little bit more about how this happened because u. S. President donald trump says that his administration is looking into reports that the virus could have been accidentally leaks from a lab and will han where they were researching sars virus as do you think that that theory is credible and is it something that the German Government is also looking into. I have no information that this line or that u. S. President mentioned it i think it is a eights and. We know about the risk that potentially and highly interactive virus might jump from any laws to human beings this is the result of all that science in the last decades comes out of it development and it was obvious that once a day Something Like that might happen in case that interest. Because all of it was case its not. Just the problem anymore to you would be i think this is the made most biggest risk also for the future and their hope we should concentrate on that and not sure that be part of her potentially might find out the whole truth about what happens maybe a lot of the china government is not every that were to hold the chair of the starting point of that or now tell me how much of the whole picture are we not getting from the chinese government. 1st we saw that the chinese government. Was not aware enough of that case because potentially there is no risk of virus infection from any move to being but. They had the opinion that do not jump from the we would be this was our own assessment but it was the 1st government we have had was that hadnt we as those who had this was later knew lot more about it i think that one of the tasks was the next month is to establish an International System to make sure that the standards of the parking the standards of it misty asian the standards of testing of the standards of signs her own. Potential risks for the whole world should be handled in the same way in china in the us in europe in every pot plants or on the road and theyre all potentially as the place to automatic that a time when its funding is being cut from one of your allies youre going to hart joining us on as we mentioned Foreign Affairs spokesperson for Angela Merkels conservatives thank you so much for sharing your. Thinking about. Well u. S. President donald trump says that healthy americans will be able to get back to work as soon as local conditions allow trump has set out a plan for a phased return to normal daily life in the United States he says that the reopening will be done one careful step at a time the plan is a set of recommendations for state governors not orders trying to back down from his insistence on monday that he had total of 42 direct states on what to do. These are just some of the 22000000 americans signing up for Unemployment Benefits only a few weeks ago the u. S. Could boast record employment numbers the booming economy was president trumps signature achievement but the coronavirus wiped out 3 years of gains in a matter of weeks now trump says its time to start gradually opening up the economy again our approach outlines 3 phases in restoring Economic Life we are not opening all at once but one careful step at a time and some states will be able to open up sooner than others to lock down would remain in places like new york the epicenter of the pandemic theyre all stories of ordered shops businesses and schools to remain closed for another month but other areas with declining infections and strong testing could ease restrictions the end goal a return to the way things were this is not going to be a new normal where somebody has been having for 25 years 150 seats at a restaurant and now hes got 30 or hes got 60 because that wouldnt work thats not normal normal will be have he has the 158 or 68 seats and thats going to happen and its going to happen relatively quickly we hope but with food banks reporting skyrocketing demand its increasingly ordinary americans who are struggling to put food on the table as the coronavirus lockdown takes its toll. And heres a quick roundup of coronavirus developments around the world German Health minister again spahn says that the outbreak in germany is under control and quote manageable again new data shows that the infection rate has fallen significantly denmark will allow Small Businesses to reopen on monday the country was one of europes 1st to shut down but its now gradually easing its lockdown and indonesia has become the country with the one most cases in Southeast AsiaHealth Officials say that nearly 6000 people have been infected with the virus. Well indias 1300000000 people are halfway through a 6 Week National lockdown the government insists that the restrictions are the key to breaking the chain of transmission but the battle against the virus also has a religious dimension and correspondent mr giles wall has traveled to the Northern City of maywood to find out why muslims are being targeted for supposedly staging what some locals are calling corona jihad. 3 more weeks of lockdown of businesses closed of restricted movement. But these men are fuming about Something Else abdul rashid a shop people in the Northern City of may that says islamophobia in india is at an all time high. He squarely blames the indian media oh yeah corona has arrived this is what they say when they see muslims. Moderate their beating us are shouting at us saying here comes corona is this the way to behave so there is a limit to our patience the discrimination started after an event by the tbilisi jamaat and islamic sect was recognized as occurred on our wireless hotspot many who attended the gathering in delhi became called 19 patios across India SeveralMedia Channels were quick to claim that this was a deliberate attempt to undermine india some even alleging good or not jihad. These allegations have also had a severe Economic Impact moment if the us would normally travel to different neighborhoods hawking has with some of these were predominantly hindu. Now people refused to let him in so when everyone is turning so away the residents say dont sell food here go back to your own neighborhood. Police are stopping us to beating us. These muslim vendors can now only sell goods in their own majority muslim neighborhood business has dried up elsewhere and made out rumors are circulating about malicious intent. Locals here at us fighting the ports of multiple incidences of muslims entering neighborhoods and spitting in them to spend the code on our wireless residency or a standing guard in batak eating gates to prevent this from happening even leaders from the ruling b. G. P. Have claimed that members of the jamaat sect have deliberately spread the why if youre going to india should have been free of coronavirus by now but in denmark with these german members this collective like suicide bombers or these suicide bombers them should face the strictest possible legal action against god are you should be punished in a way that generations to follow starting up will be too afraid to commit such crimes. If the allegations the sect has spread the virus on purpose are still unfounded bought fewer and anger across communities. For these men their religion has become an added burden during the long lockdown. And lets get more now we are joined by these claims novelist and political activist. From delhi thank you so much for joining us here on d w news id like to begin by asking you because lockdowns around the world have been having disastrous consequences the viruses implications as well what would you like people to know about what is taking place in your country in india where inequality really exacerbates the situation. Well i think what has happened is there a crisis in fact its not a crisis yet in india if you look at the numbers which of course but. Almost seems about the are so that all of us knew you know its its too late on full display the just as you were reporting were seeing were suffering not just from but from a crisis of hatred primark races. And of course the lockdown in india is lot a lot darker as there is no physical distance just physical compression. But really this crisis of against. Its coming of course on the back of a massacre in the league which was the result of of you know since december people protesting against the muslim citizenship a lot more and now after nearly united we speak. Under the cover of core with the government is moving to arrest Young Students to cases against lawyers being Senior Editor against activists and true. To their recently thought into giving. So given that i mean you describe the crisis of hatred and what is your message then to the hindu nationalist government which is apparently inflaming these tensions further. Its to see this intervening in the status quo of the day and spoke to know the whole of the organization of the r. S. S. To which more the lot of which is the mothership of the biggest has long said. Should be in the lead in. Gods hands have likelihood of the muslim the be near to the jews of germany and if you look at the religion you know using call who it was very much like. Diceless was used against the jews today if you were going to stigmatize them so theres nothing i can see to to the government all the. People i can speak to people in india and to the world outside not to do this lightly because obviously the security is approved. You know because the government agenda has this and it says this guy muslims have been lynched muslims have been hunted down but now the stigmatize it even with this illness how is the left you know Government Policies on street now you can hear it everywhere and the of the it comes with the threat of extreme violence and of really i mean already if started building the Detention Center of the cities for that new law with now you know this for the duckie with this illness to do to create something with the word should really keep its i thought i cannot exaggerate. More so you say you say that the crisis here is approaching genocidal i mean that is really shocking if it has if it has gotten to the point you wrote recently in a piece sort of related to best you said that the tragedy is immediate it is real it is epic but it is not new it is the wreckage of a train that has been careening down the track for years whose eyes have been closed and who is eyes need to be open right now in order to prevent what you see as the threat of us of a genocide. Well that i wrote actually that was i was talking with the u. S. Health system but it is clear that it will apply to what i have seen in our whose articles it was i supposed you know every International Leader who is being and love well i mean the Prime Minister who is really. You know part of this all the gender even looking tries to kid the students is why act when the violence spreads out in fact the last according that it happened well you know in terms of no one says anything and you know the indian media the. Mainstream media disagrees generous i do have media enough for the passions it is with not all of that but a lot of it to live t. V. Anchors and single of the member of the lynch mobs you know sitting in their studios so you see what happens in places like rwanda that the media really they have it and you just see the start to what youre getting its very very saddening and here i am not even willing to talk about the crisis or how number that is the millions of people in the millions if. The country where people actually a 1000000 people were shut down before i always looked at it be every allows did the Lockdown Team and millions were stranded on the streets with no food with nowhere to go and walked hundreds of the long with this film to their villages where it will not allow. The crisis is deepening of the crisis of. Its a really Important Message and we thank you so much for joining us to share at our entirety boy as we mentioned youre an acclaimed novelist political activists youre also one of indias most acclaimed intellectuals so we thank you very much for joining us to share. Well its have a look now at some other stories which have been making news around the world to me and maher has released almost 25000. 00 prisoners and a president ial amnesty to mark the countrys new year mass amnesties during holiday celebrations are common though the number of freed this year was higher than normal human Rights Groups had called on myanmar to reduce overcrowding and its prisons due to the corona virus outbreak. 3 astronauts who spent months on board the International Space station have arrived back on earth the 2 nasa astronauts and one russian landed safely in kazakstan after more than 200. 00 days in space due to the coronavirus special Safety Measures have been put in place for their arrival. Millions of jobs in the Global Tourism industry could be lost to the cove in 1000. 00 pandemic according to a new report by the uns World Tourism Organization it says that 96 percent of all worldwide destinations have a close travel restrictions and it has called upon governments to lift them as soon as it is safe to do so. One tourist attraction that would welcome a lifting overstretch ans is the 600 year old inca settlement of much of picchu in southern peru its normally a huge draw for visitors from all over the world but its been quiet for the last month because of the coronavirus for a country whose economy relies on Foreign Exchange times are tough for peru. The ancient inca town macho picchu is one of the 7 modern wonders of the world last year 1500000 tourists came to visit it now except for some lamas its deserted not only there but also proves capital lima is oddly empty due to the lack of tourists many restaurants are suffering since the government imposed a partial lockdown a month ago. 5700 hotels in lima are completely empty right now the Tourism Industry and all of the workers depending on visitors do not expect relief any time soon. What is more i think its going to take much longer than a year for the Tourism Industry to recover much more than a year because things that want to be in the same i said let me small. Tourism experts estimate in 2020 only a quarter of the normal amount of tourists will visit per room and that the sector will lose around 4000000000. 00. Well european car sales fell dramatically by 55 percent last month as various coronavirus lockdown measures across the continent had a sharp impact the drop is more than double the worst monthly slump the sector faced during the 20082009 financial crisis the European Automobile Manufacturers Association said that all 27 e. U. Markets experienced severe contractions but nowhere worse than in italy where new car registrations collapsed by a massive 85 percent. Lets bring in correspondent conrad burns and his joining us from frankfurt so 100 i mean in germany Car Dealerships will be allowed to open again those starting next week so will this be enough. Well lobby groups for the car sector are saying no they predict that the total car sales here in germany this year will be at least 20 percent below the numbers of 2019 and this only if the coming weeks the month of may comes along with a lot more you demand so a lot lot of customers really will have to go to those showrooms to those Car Dealerships and check out those models and they of course have to buy them and this is only the sales the production side of course is totally unclear those supply chain which particularly the german car makers have been spanning you know all over europe to asia to the United States brazil mexico its totally unclear right now when they will become operative again and how smoothly they will eventually work. Meantime conrad we have chinas economy shrinking for the 1st time in decades in the United States we have 22000000. 00 americans losing their jobs in only a month. How is the market digesting this. You know sara the German Market is ending this week on the upside the german index taxes again one and a half percent of course within all this doom and gloom there is also hope a little bit oss at least growing it has to do with governments of course saying that the economy might soon restart it also has to do with the outlook that soon a medication against. Might be found the American Company to lay out has made tests on corona patients with a drug which is usually used against hiv a bola all those viral virus induced diseases now theres hope. That this medication could help against corona covered my team as well conrad burns and in frankfurt thank you. Its all with much of the world in lockdown Grocery Shopping is one of the few reasons people have to leave the house because of social distancing rules though this is often joining a long line outside of the supermarket in italy it has led to a surprise renaissance for some smaller food shops where customers dont face such a long wait. So these days even chances are you going to go already or has a lot to do since the coronavirus outbreak force the targets to respect social distancing more and more customers are visiting his fruit and vegetable store. Look at everything 1st i lived near here 2nd at the supermarket they are huge lines 3rd anyway i used to come even before i know him i trust him he has good things and thats it. The reverse is off the trend of current humans flocking to giant supermarkets has prompted the renaissance for small shopkeepers and Neighborhood Grocery stores that these gods i know this misfortune is good for us but i dont like the situation anyway because health is at stake. In i go back to leave tess and his staff are quite busy too. Despite many people staying at home due to the partial lockdown. Well most of the in this period were working more weve lost the customers of the nearby workplaces but theres an increase of residents who have returned to buying food in small shops we offer quality products Friendly Service maybe a joke to make this period less dramatic and people appreciate that too something was going on about the hope of all those shops that many customers to remain loyal to small stores after the Coronavirus Crisis is over. All scientists have discovered what they believe is the worlds longest animal off of the coast of Western Australia socalled zoids have merged into a floating colony and that is at least 46. 00 metres long it was found by an underwater robot that allowed researchers to explore deep sea canyons and coral reefs around australia that had never been seen before.
