Health organization where cases are surging and when the 2nd wave is likely to come. Out of us welcome to the Program India and bangladesh are assessing the damage left by one of the most violent storms in years cycle on im fun has left a trail of destruction in coastal communities and west bank goals main city kolkata millions of people that without electricity and the coronavirus is hampering relief efforts. In a last ditch effort these bangladeshis are preparing for the worst. Filling sandbags with their bare hands they braved conditions brought on by one of the most powerful cyclings in decades. Meteorologists have dubbed it a super cycling and as it headed inland it lived up to that name. It sent water surging inland some 25 kilometers the damage compounded by winds of up to 195 kilometers per hour. In comic conditions inside kid of bangladesh volunteers help to bring locals to safety more than 2 and a half 1000000 people who were evacuated to shelters like this one which brought new concerns amid the corona pandemic the book that you can put it there is a shortage of Drinking Water there are sanitation facilities for them but nurse are short distance is maintained for that reason the fear of the corona virus spread is persistent that. Already scrambled to evacuate residents in the cyclons projected path of destruction but that may leave them vulnerable to an increased risk of the fires 50 kilometers west into copay attempts at social distancing futile. I mean there are too many people here its impossible to maintain social distancing i am very concerned we couldnt stay home due to the storm and here is the tension of corona and just trying to dodge both. And unprecedented challenge for millions in pan couldnt have come at a worse time. More than 5000000 people are now known to african track to corona virus new infections are easing in europe in the u. S. But experts say a 2nd wave is inevitable new cases are surging in latin America Brazil which reported the continents 1st case back in february is seeing the most new cases on wednesday alone the country recorded almost 20000 new infections if the trend continues its likely that brazil could soon have the 2nd highest number of cases in the world. Im not joined by a Christian Lindt Meyer from the World Health Organization in Geneva Christian the w. H. O. Says 106000 new cases have been reported in the last 24 hours the most in a single day since the outbreak began as lock down restrictions are eased in many places were still far from out of the woods are we. Indeed we are going to take to you. If we look at the Global Trends we do not see a decrease we actually see a small incline so and that shows us that 6 seche as you just mentioned the going down of figures in Central Europe and also in some other parts of the world is not the complete picture its not that if we chart also like turning off the faucet and then suddenly does no more drops of cases and in one of the cases continue and actually we will see more cases and many other countries who have been only starting to be hit by the virus now and who may have a weak the Health System d especially the cases and brazil also show us that its important to have also cited the approach to fighting the coronavirus to to fight and we call it a break because this way you need to include instead of polarizing you need to include everything from the Health System to the people to the economy only then can you win this fight because you just mentioned brazil the situation there seems to be worsening significantly where else do you expect such a escalations. Once fortunately we have 1st of all to see that countrys little middle and come country is also enough rica may certainly be a problematic case and so also the rest of latin america. Because these countries only start to see cases now and remember we are talking about a window of opportunity for about 2 months that we can prepare these countries and these countries can prepare themselves to help them to equip so get the tests ready to get the hospitals ready to get everything ready what they need. A lot has been done 132. 00 countries have received this receives assistance from the world thats in the section but they will still seem to be receiving face it will of course another reason for increasing cases will be that countries as they start using the Lockdown People will start mixing again moved on holidays one starts up being in contact again and so on so we should expect a rise in cases again. The european you European Unions virus response chief says europe pass to prepare for a 2nd wave when does the w o g o expected in europe. I think dont think we can call it on one of the wave will be should not look for one way what this wave means its going to us another rise and we lapse in cases that we havent seen looks and tastes off the baby increases on balance. With all the easing off of measures now and. Communicating and says it could increase it says it will call that the people again we will see a rise in cases and you know this is the 2nd wave everybody is talking about they may not all be at the same time its maybe from country to country or from region to region but rise secondary also her 3rd rise in cases is very likely because the w. H. O. In geneva thank you if you. We have some breaking news coming in chinas annual parliamentary meeting has been officially opened in beijing and its expected that National Security legislation for hong kong will be discussed during the 7 day session thats according to the Chinese State news agency in wa the full proceedings officially starts on friday. Now lets go to phebe kong she has been following this story for us and joins us from taiwans capital taipei feeling do you have more details about this new law. Yes yes mission the Chinese State media just and now staff the National Peoples congress which is chinas honan is going to discuss the new set off National Security legislation for hong kong so a high into the formation we have and the reports from the local media theyve released us some details often at a station that the new law may prohibit secession for interfere and full foreign interference and possibly terrorism so these are some socalled loopholes in beijings ice which they consider to be. This close during the antigovernment protests last year happening in hong kong and so they need to push for the new law to put up such a loopholes you mentioned the antigovernment protests what exactly would this new law mean for hong kong and especially the Democracy Movement that. To be frank if this is indeed bombshell fall not for hong kong but im sure for the interNational Security the International Community because this is highly controversial even more controversial than the extradition bill likes the protests last year so its not only about the law itself but also the procedure itself is very controversial because according to the information we have that beijing is planning to and that such legislation by its own hadnt meant that and they will probably probably at least. The new cause this under the hong kongs mini constitution which is the basic law so in short the new legislation can be accommodated automatically in home home without any search and they often local that just ages so it will simply by pass this through to me often also legislation so in our view that this is going to spark a huge controversy in hong kong again. Briefly if you can have there been any reactions to this in hong kong.
