For more on this im joined by she im so. Hes professor of economics at accepting the school of management and shed poor good to have you with us please tell me the Indian Government is in reform mode overhauling the labor market and im Greek Culture which of those bills is in your view the most significant. Those 5 bills that are being processed right. Not exactly maybe. Even the next set of legislations who of them concerned the farmers and you know them and they just you know hookers and all of that although i have to straighten the market forces. I mean it really was just in series including soon and this is. In the state on my. Liberalization of here economy has been greatly and all sat. In this rather. Months and section of the ottomans this is. I mean a lot of. You know a lot of the source youre very far might be in the list of sections of the army. And industrial but. Im not going to be up so i mean you say that all those bills they were passed very hurriedly and if i understand you correctly they are very controversial very contentious when the Prime MinisterNarendra Modi called the reform bills a a watershed moment for Indian Agriculture opposition parties of course like them to Something Like a death warrant for farmers what would you call those reforms. I wouldnt. Eat at it it seems but i were all of them. I mean not as definitely. A course a mature or should millions of workers. Almost do in family eat on the brakes are all equal to that extent i mean the balance between the what there is that.

I mean now that aging on these bottles even. Better maybe. They just up so so so more or less of the wrong measures at the wrong time because the other issues are much more important and its quite amazing because given the influence especially of farmers on indian politics can the government actually afford to lose their support. Yeah i mean that is that isnt. That i mean i am im not im not exactly i mean instead of that what if you go got relations of the ruling party i mean they did that he said such shows.

Places like 10 swallow large almost entirely dependent on american and european tourists now operators have to survive on local travellers alone with the countrys economy in serious trouble many lodges have to cook their rates by half. Now fantastic specials around at the moment its wonderful to be able to afford you know a line to be which is used to be not be able to afford before lockdown and there are really amazing specials that i think its gives an opportunity for people to see the country to experience the nature to experience the logline with 10 percent of the workforce made redundant consuello could keep most of its employees but conditions changed wages have to be cut down some by 70 percent and there is the risk of infection as most visitors come from coronavirus hotspots like your highness burg nevertheless workers are relieved to have clients back.

Case loads have been lower than forecast but the pandemic is hitting africas economy hard disrupting tourism and other crucial sectors. With work at a standstill for many theres less money for food and shelter d here in the Lavender Hill section of cape town volunteers are ever present to feed the homeless and children. Fictions are on the rise and lives are becoming more precarious. The pandemic meanwhile rages across the african continent cases in algeria and egypt are on the decline but theyre ticking up in morocco and tunisia. What would another wave of covert 1000. 00 mean for region already so hard hit. Floor and welcome to door to those cold 1000 special blend its good to have you with us 3000000 people in south africa have lost their work because of the pandemic and as a result many have lost their homes correspondent. Takes us to one of the many shanty towns now popping up across the country khayelitsha the largest township in cape town more than 1000000 people live here including. A month ago she could no longer afford to rent and simply butoh knots on a vacant lot next door. Of others to passaic and christened the new neighborhood covered 19. Because everything just have been because of this coverage there were lost jobs there with nothing for us to mommy anything and thats why we have to take that coffin man to me. Shows us the makeshift hart where she lives with her boyfriend and 3 children. Oh yes this place is too small to one bed so where the children are going to sleep you see my house is also leaking. I dont have anything to solve at the moment. But im still. The family pays no rentier but the land doesnt belong to them. People are setting up their shacks all over the place here a lot of construction happening and many here saying they dont have a choice because they cant afford to pay rent any longer but the city on the other hand says these illegal and invasions are causing huge problems city officials tell us there have been more than 30 new locations with massive land occupations in just the last 6 weeks law and order in danger cape town lost 300. 00 hectares of land in the last year what ever the land was meant for is lost whether it is all spittle screw clinic if a piece of land is standing open its because there is an intended Community Use for that there is in the case of these big invasions where i will tell you that Community Leadership in cali just stood up this is not a fight to be on land invaders against the state or land invaders against the city of quetta this is a fight of land invaders against a city of character and local residents since june the city says it has torn down some 60000 hearts in some cases resulting in violence this man was pulled out of his hat snake at a court has now ruled that the city needs a court order for eviction and must offer alternative accommodation to squatters. Structures for the city cant afford that 400000 people are already on waiting lists for social housing that housing waiting list doesnt get shorter and the reason it doesnt get shorter is because theres constantly people pushing in the front if you were standing in a queue in a bank or a cinema with theatre or something and you never got to the front because people were constantly pushing in the front you would become very angry and enraged. Plan for everything annie and her family have also been hoping for an apartment from the state for a long time so far in vain. The government will provide our needs because we need Something Like toilets or what. We have to get the we have to get them from the government its our right if we have to. We have to. Because when we need to go to the loo oh you want to do number 2 you have to take the bucket and then you slow the place is going to be full of all those things. You can go to the. People who are building the. Leaker is convinced that she will continue to fear in the future a court order for eviction takes up to one and a half years the police are not intervening for the time being and around her the settlement continues to grow. So its not just shelter thats been thrown into question because of the pandemic food is also becoming scarce in parts of africa the central hell region is among the continents hunger hotspots more than half of the populations of mali burkina faso and share suffers from Food Insecurity defined as the lack of regular access to the food they need in mali the trend is even getting worse and for more on this im joined by David Beasley the executive director of the World Food Program he joins me from berlin dave its good to see you as always when we talk about Food Insecurity this term help us understand what that looks like on the ground for someone in mali or say burkina faso. Well its not good at all i mean did it was already bad before code we had economic deterioration a lot of serious issues with the shrimpers groups terrorist groups trying to exploit the situation and not to mention the Climate Change moving down and millions of people being displaced and also comes right on top of that and so globally were seeing from and im not talking about people that are going to bit hungry im talking about people that are on the brink of starvation that number was 135000000 before would now we see that number spiking to 270000000 by the end of this year and you break that down into places like mali burkina faso here in other regions of africa it really is a bad situation there were facing and and we are facing it literally as we speak it is unfolding as we speak david in what ways is the pen dimmock itself affecting Food Supplies it doesnt really involve sickness necessarily does it. Well its a combination of factors i mean you know what were seeing to give it a good example in nigeria when they had a 5 week lockdown they had about a 1000 people die from code but we had a 1000000 people go into Food Insecurity because of the lockdown is still where she had economic deterioration were seeing a spike in food prices throughout africa lack of access economic theory ation loss of jobs you know if you do a lot down in the say in berlin people get food in their pantry for a week or 2 but a lot of these places they live hand to mouth day to day so if you do a lot down youve got to make certain that we have a Safety Net Program in place if you dont and we dont address this right you will need to have masterbation mass destabilization or mass migration in a salon cheaper to go in and help the people who need help during this extremely difficult time what exactly is needed to improve the situation talk about going in what kind of resources do you need and how close are you to getting it. Well youre not talking about a few 100000000. 00 come of billions of dollars around the world but particularly in africa if we get the right money right now we can come in because were actually the supply chain for covert at this point in time you know with the airline interest shutting down so were moving cope with supplies moving in food doing what we can do to make certain that we dont have export bans shut down of distribution points because if you do you might not get seeds in or or fertilizers or food or whatever the case may be now what is critical is economic recovery and i know countries like germany which has done an amazing partner with us an economic stimulus package is also helping us direct monies on the ground in the strategic locations because if we dont come in with a Strategic Support you can have destabilization in migration people dont want to leave their home area but if they dont have food and they dont have any degree of peace they dont do it as take it takes to do to protect their family their children the little girl the little boys enough they had more mothers tell me said my husband didnt want to join isis or our products but we had thought our little girl in 2 weeks is to be easily please help us is so thankfully the people of germany the people around the world are stepping up but we still have a lot more money we need over the next many months and this is not going to play out just in the next couple of months i am really concerned about 2020 but i think shrink the concern about 2021 because the Economic Impact that code is head is going to play out i think in a devastating way with Economic Opportunity in africa so its not a short old game were talking about its a long run weve got to be really prepared for all right an urgent appeal there from David Beasley executive director of the World Food Program thank you very much for joining us thank you. And now its time for your questions to our science correspondent there williams. Does smoking and the spread of coded 19. Smokers have had it pretty tough during this pandemic as far as i can tell there is still not absolute watertight evidence of a direct link between smoking regularly and worse outcomes if you catch covered 19 but i wouldnt wait for that proof i mean come on this is a potentially severe respiratory disease and we know that smokers are hit harder when they catch a range of other pathogens that cause similar symptoms but if they have covert 19 does the act of smoking also make them more contagious to others could there could there Secondhand Smoke pose a danger of infection to those around them well we dont really know and its extremely hard to prove one way or the other but theres enough evidence it might that some regions in spain banned smoking in public last month and and other public spaces like some casinos in the u. S. Have done the same the smoke that comes in a cloud out of the smokers knowledge when they when they exhale forcefully is basically a mix of particulates and aerosols thats exciting from deep within that persons logs and the evidence has grown pretty convincing that aerosols can carry the virus so while theres no conclusive evidence on whether Secondhand Smoke is is more or less infectious that aerosols exhaled by by nonsmokers a lot of experts think it makes sense to err on the side of caution after all many are now saying that if you can smell what someone had for lunch you can also potentially catch covert 19 from them so it seems to me that the same would hold true for inhaling someone Secondhand Smoke. Around Derrick Williams there and finally to mexico where a tattoo artist in the city of monterrey has come up with a novel way to deal with pandemic only to go is giving away free tattoos to those who have beaten the disease edging coded 1000 survivor on their arms he says the survivors of a 2nd chance at life.
