A pandemic rollercoaster 1st it comes out of lockdown and it shuts down again because of a surge of infections will this patent become the new normal. Time to meet the japanese fans of the olympics but a pandemic is keeping fit and earning money as a food delivery guy. Im still gal welcome to the program United Nations has warned of a Global Mental Health crisis brought on by the corona virus pandemic u. N. Secretary general antonio terrace says the governments unhelpful thors is need to act quickly to manage the psychological suffering of millions in lockdown unemployment all working on the front lines of medical emergencies. Her name is neville irshad manny. And shes been fighting coronavirus on the front lines in albania for more than 2 months. But enormous passion will sacrifice. Colonel embarrassed for this midwest have a 15 month old daughter. Sandy i also have a 10 year old son and i have parents who could be at risk because they also have other Health Insurance and that scared me. To the printed. At this washington d. C. Food bank the hardship is economic with millions laid off and school meals gone with the lessons families are also struggling to cope with the mental stress brought on by hunger because right now im struggling with. Meaningful steps that it isnt that much every little bit helps keep the house on it now the United Nations is arguing governments to be proactive. The covered 1000. 00 pandemic is now we think families and communities with additional mental stress those most at risk are front line else workers older people a dollar sense and young people those with preexisting mental conditions and those caught up in conflict and crisis we must help them and stand by them. Psychologists in the u. K. Who are trying to help dont always creating a number of cartoons to help families manage the additional strain of loctite to do with their us all the early. Strug. Thats not a surprise really when you think. Members of the support group for people suffering from depression are by paul are normally me tom bone dry beach but social distancing rules have forced them online. Sharing there are stories nice you not feel alive you know that it actually puts a perspective on your own life and i think perspective is really important. Certainly these times now and its a fresh outlook that International Body see is now vital to ensure its horrific 19 doesnt leave millions more struggling with Mental Health problems. Dr Deborah Castro is director of the World Health Organizations Mental Health and Substance Abuse Division Welcome to day w. Dr before this pandemic hit Mental Health services were often underfunded compared to physical Health Services so what more does the w. H. O. Want countries to do on top of spending billions on bailing out their economies well some of those billions should be used to. Develop Mental Health services where they were not when when you were making your comments i would think it would actually you know globally 2 percent of the Health Budget goes to Mental Health which is very low percentage if we can see then that 30 percent of the disability in east related to Mental Health conditions so what we need to use this as an opportunity in this crazy is a mean as any opportunity to build. A system where Mental Health issues are going to be considered. Physical conditions so without action on the Mental Health front what sort of long term effects do you anticipate. Well there they didnt numbered of 4 cincinnati is but 1st of all i would say is this effort in so far of people affected by these conditions we have mortar dramatic examples coming from for example the economy grace is in 2008 where in some countries they were talking about death of despair when our people where a dying by suicide or order of drug abuse due to their economic. Situation and the impact that that was having in their midst and helped said we dont want to get there we want to do what needs to be done enough that to provide this support that is needed like in some of the examples that you and mentioned earlier in the service you see it. Rationally watch you say make sense but we are this would be a strange time somebody even with government some quite often. A principle concerned with what is in front of them what can be seen in this v. Emergency that you are talking about is often unseen quite often until its too late so do you anticipate having much success with your call. Well we hope that this is going to make our countries realize how serious the situation is if we do not take action then we will not a huge percentage of people that will be and seriously affected that we have any impact in the economy of the country if were to moves the countries. Their well being and in front of these phrases they want to find a way to overcome it and to to go. Move forward with a with their economy and their situation then taking care of the of their Mental Health of the book religion is also a key component because you were talking you know emergency situations one in 5 persons not having a Mental Health condition in and in studies done in humanitarian crisis countries in conflict one in in 5 if we do some estimation of that number 2 compared to the you know at current prices the number this is really big you cant afford any and no country cannot count afterward to help all those people out of the workforce receiving. Attention care its way more expensive thats about remaining kind of the im talking about phenomenal numbers that the double actors emergency directs emergency start to mike ryan says a covered 19 may never go away what does he mean by that well and you should ask that rather than read sound meaning that it could take a long time in are the 2 if the divide is over and so what im concerned about is what are the implications then for this is a it if we need to change the way we do things if we need to change the way we interact with each other if we need to. Change the way we used to of water cooler used to go to school we used to have fun all that we have implications for many of us for most of the people hopefully we will get out and we will overcome and we will be resilient but many others will not and will have impact in their mind to help us and thank you for your time thank you for joining us dr Deborah Castor oil from the World Health Organization. The u. K. Has europes highest. Death toll 1000 people that have died of the disease since a pandemic began and the disproportionate number of them are ethnic minorities for example black people in the u. K. Times as likely to die from the disease as white people thats according to analysis by the u. K. s office for National Statistics show a lot of parts reports from the. Doctor has had enough which is why she came here to downing street to protest even though shes 6 months pregnant she had to fight for protective gear and hospital because it just wasnt enough. Im here today for the doctors nurses and Health Care Workers. Tragically and senselessly to pull more than 200 Health Care Workers have died in britain so far 2 thirds of them were ethnic minorities. Here in the United Kingdom data has shown that the virus does indeed discriminate even though everybody has access to Free Health Care experts are unsure about the reasons but say they vary from overcrowded housing to preexisting medical conditions what is clear though is that covert 19 revealed longstanding existing inequalities in British Society which rings true in this multiethnic neighborhood of brixton one of the covert hotspots in the capital patients and hospitals across the country a 4 times more likely to die from coronavirus and white ones most people here are where and have changed their behavior. Much more careful reading board march. I mean those who are going to just go this. Is something thats killing everybody and i just need to keep myself or my family safe thats the main thing so i dont focus on the fact that its black. I dont believe in her nothing. Nothing grow. So far medics and experts havent figured out why minorities in the u. K. A so disproportionately affected by cope with 19 the government launched an inquiry last month theres also been discussion of shielding minorities from frontline jobs and unrealistic approach some say isnt economic priorities but there are limited social protections for workers of these crimes and. Its all very well. Away from other peoples forrestals but if its a choice between living off. Some people who will be presented with with with the right. Back at downing street dr mina this helps to encourage others to also speak up to prevent more deaths of ethnic minority patients and her colleagues. When i look at the latest developments in the corona virus pandemic as the global death toll approaches 300000 the European Unions that Medicines Agency says a vaccine could be ready in a year in an optimistic scenario russia now has more than 250000 confirmed cases and to seen a dramatic spike in infections over the last month russia now has the 2nd highest number of cases behind the us japan is lifting its coronavirus state of emergency ahead of shared jewel in most of the country i decision about the other areas is due next week. You know its really has an arms that it will grant a 6 month residency its the thousands of irregular migrants the government in rome is trying to help deal with the coffin 19 epidemic that has cut the flow of cheap labor from abroad the politically sensitive move was prompted by the countrys agricultural lobby which is warning that the country might otherwise have to dispose of huge amounts of produce wealth public. Housing public. Who does this change the effect well 1st and foremost around 200000 Seasonal Workers mainly from Eastern Europe actually cant get to because of the covert 19 travel restrictions in place at the moment and that what this this change affects is it could be up to half a 1000000 workers mainly in agriculture but also Domestic Workers are affected and it would mean that they are status would be irregular migrants would their status would change to legal so that they could apply for jobs they would have access to health care and of course thats important at the moment considering the fight against covert 19 in italy and also on human rights you know level it would just improve the lives of these people who have been leaving living essentially under the radar image so these initial purpose would be for 6 months and then what happens after that well then after 6 months they can apply for another 6 months and then at the end of that one year period then they can apply for if they have a job contract a contract of some sort they can sort of then apply for a more long Term Solution and stay in italy legal workers ok migration long politically sensitive subject how is this decision being received well as you can imagine phil its obviously you know crawl is a lot of division a political system is certainly divided in many respects but in fact this this change was championed by a Government Official within only her own personal history of actually having worked as a. Farm worker and as a Labor Union Representative and she gave a very very passionate speech to the agricultural minister at nova and i think its best if we actually listen to what she had to say when its on us that the government this group that. Those that have been brutally exploited in the fields and also in a cooperative where people were sent to work with families as caregivers or cleaning ladies not be invisible anymore. They will have access to a work permit and we will help to reclaim their identity and their dignity. Very passionate indeed there and it did actually split the government for Party Government 3 of the port parties supported it one of the parties didnt the 5 Star Movement the anti Establishment Party but in the end it passed but whats most notable there was a lot of criticism particularly from a tail salvini now hes the leader of italys far right Northern League party and he tweeted this here which we can see you know its the tears of mr ballen over for the poor immigrants with best regards to the millions of unemployed italians do not move anyone this century saying that you know that shes forgetting about the millions of italian people who have lost their jobs because of the covert 19 crisis at the moment in italy and that is something that you can find quite frequently will say on social media at the moment. Yes thank you thanks will. Now take a brief look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world at least 5 people have died in a truck bomb attack in afghanistan vehicle blew up near a military court in the eastern city of god dess winning at least 20 others including civilians and military personnel taliban insurgents have claimed responsibility. They used to of course israel that hungry did circumvent a huge goal by holding Asylum Seekers in prison like conditions at a border count the cases brought by for Asylum Seekers from iran and afghanistan were being held in the camp after arriving through serbia. Powerful storm has hit the eastern philippines typhoon made landfall just past noon local time with orses have evacuated about 200000 people from coastal and mountainous areas fearing flooding and landslides is a physical distancing will be nearly impossible. For countries around the world around trying a new phase of responses to the pandemic loosening lockdowns and reopening their economies but achieve you a balance between the return to normality in the containment of the virus could prove difficult is in lebanon have reimposed on lockdown after a spike in infections so is this the new reality facing all of us. After weeks of closures people in lebanon had finally begun to savor a gradual return to normal restaurants and cafes has started operating at reduced capacity shops and hairdressers had reopened their doors to customers but a jump in new cases 100. 00 over 4 days brought the reopening to a sudden halt. The government announced a 4 day long total lockdown exempt only 2 essential sectors like health and agriculture once again people are being told to stay at home the hope is that a short lockdown will be enough to stop the virus from spreading further but not everyone agrees. With. What a 4 days of lock down going to do against the coronavirus virus is here the real aim should be to guarantee peoples basic needs this is a miserable country. Weeks of coronavirus restrictions have taken a toll on lebanons already fragile economy food prices have soared triggering protests calling for the government to intervene but the need to contain the virus has trumped the looming financial crisis at least for the duration of the lock down lebanons backward slide could be in store for other countries as they navigate their way through the pandemic temporary lock downs followed by reopening to avoid a 2nd wave of corona virus cases. So should we expect around the world William Schaffner is professor of preventative medicine at Vanderbilt University he joins us from nashville in the United States and welcome to do you expect more countries to be. Having to deal with 2nd wave of infections. Oh im afraid so this will be up and down up and down around the world including here in the United States however im rather skeptical that once we start to open up here in the us that there will be a reversion to lock down i think there will be a lot of resistance to locking us down once again its difficult isnt it because. There is a political calculation isnt that the better is there the lives lost on the one hand against the money and lives disrupted on the other is it is it is not a purely political decision or does that is that some sort of actuarial chart where somebody says well a life is worth this much so we can afford to lose this money. Well ive seen a few of those estimates but i think principally its a political and social and cultural issue each of these countries is different different governments different cultures but the balancing of the medical issues with the social and Economic Issues is a very difficult one and as we say we have to move forward as we are opening up but do so carefully and slowly expecting that there will be some increase and that well have to manage on the medical side which will then lebanons knock out is 4 days long is a short lockdown like not likely to be effective. Well im kind of dubious we would have anticipated that a a longer lockdown would be more effective lebanon is doing an experiment were all doing things legally well have to see how well it works there. So how then do we stay ahead of the virus the w. H. O. Says its going to be with us were going to have just have to learn to live with a certainly for the next couple of years a government around the world to say ok we have to precede a catholic but you actually worried me when you when you talked about the United States because in a country that big if if there is a surge you say well you know once its open its not going to close again. Well i do think its in the american character shall we say or the culture that there will be a great deal of resistance to going back to sheltering at all to the severe extent that we have done it in the past and talk about staying ahead of the virus were still trying to catch up with this virus and well have to live with it for some time to come oh to such times we have an effective vaccine and it can be distributed largely in the population good talking to you thank you for joining us professor William Schaffner in nashville in the United States my pleasure the price of fresh vegetables in germany has gone up again by nearly 5 percent in april alone thats according to a government report out today its a picture being repeated around the world because of locked on restrictions food becomes more difficult to farm driving up the price of everyday goods. A half a kilogram of broccoli costs 3. 00 euros a cali flour sells for 4 euros in recent weeks some produce prices have gone up noticeably in germany like here at a Farmers Market in berlin of course prices for fresh fruit and vegetables normally vary with the season but this year is different says vendor casting klink miller who sells Regional Produce here. I wish id been something out of ive been here for 10 years even longer i think and the customers buy from me because they know theyre getting quality so theyll pay a little more and buy a little less but customers are viewing the price hikes of up to 50 percent with some concern. That if i want cheap ill go to the supermarket but id rather have good quality and the farmers have to make a living. One person whos keeping a close watch on the prices here is hunts kristoff bear the market analyst keeps track of 40 different kinds of vegetables he says European Market gardeners do a lot of their farming by hand in reserve indoors lot of vegetables in germany and much of europe are harvested by Seasonal Workers in this year there arent as many of them available as in other years and because of the Coronavirus Crisis there are also more restrictions that have been imposed such as distancing not so many people can be accommodated warts and all that is slowing productivity which leads to less being harvested to deport the beauty of it as many are counted and the less there is the higher the prices but not all vegetables are equally labor intensive and some prices havent budged like those for carrots and tomatoes. Brief look now at some of the other stories making news around the world the chinese say here on the original source of this pond downlink is conducting mass testing of all of its 11000000 residents over the next 10 days a cluster of fresh cases has raised fears of a 2nd wife. Infection. Burundi has ordered the expulsion of a team of World Health Organization experts coordinating the countrys response to the pandemic the w. H. O. Has previously voice to concerns about crowded political rallies ahead of the countrys president ial election the u. N. Says it deeply regrets the expulsion. German tax revenues are likely to take a big hit this year because of coronavirus restrictions than official estimates as taxes will be almost 100000000000. 00 euros no it they should have been previously projected report says the budget shortfall could grow to more than 300000000000 in the medium term. And the postponement of this years Tokyo Olympics has had negative consequences for lots of athletes and theyve had to cut back on their training and look for other sources of income most of that is based around the games one japanese then penas found a way of addressing both issues at the same time. Rio miyake feels most at home with a fencing sword in his hand he want to silver medal for japan in the team for all events at the london 2012 olympics but now the coronavirus has forced him to get on his bike working as a courier for the Food Delivery Company eats the job serves 2 purposes for me archy its a source of income and a source of fitness. All this it got to do now and digging into my savings for a living so i have to earn money for myself but with and i also thought by delivering food i can start my physical strength from weakening thats why i started this to get into that i got the what does this. New york e situation reflects the reality for many olympians who struggle to make ends meet tokyo games in particular were meant to be a shop window for japanese athletes but with the olympics and other competitions on hold so to a sponsorship deals. They shoot its us at our Training Center has been closed and we dont have any matches because its still unclear how i will qualify for the olympics. And i didnt feel i could accept sponsorship in such a situation. So i told my sponsors to hold off for the time being arrested that i could not stay to see that. Once his deliveries are completed me archy can get back to doing what he does best in the hope that sooner rather than later he wont just be jabbing into thin air.
