Almost 500 people have died of cope with 19 in the last 2 weeks in the Czech Republic more than in the 1st months of the pandemic another 400 are in critical condition. Close. I think people are not taking the virus seriously human. Medical staff at this hospital in prague are doing all they can to protect themselves nearly 3000 doctors and nurses have been infected with the virus meaning many are unable to work. In small hospitals where there are not so many staff it can be problematic if one infection turns into a cluster. No other country in europe currently has a higher rate of infection per capita as the Czech Republic many let their guard down in the summer and became lots about protective measures like the wearing of mosques. If they say please wear a mask then very few people will do that it was recommended in the holidays but no one wore a mask the ability to put a chimney effect then you could do and you couldnt and. The government has decided to take action theatres cinemas museums and gyms have already closed and even tighter restrictions go into force from midnight. Bars now have to show us and restaurants can only offer takeaway its another heavy blow for an already struggling hospitality sector. Obviously still with us barbara we see severe restrictions in the Czech Republic but theyre not the only country taking more action. No the netherlands will within an hour in nouns dress to matters themselves because the Czech Republic is the worse it country at the moment but closely followed by the netherlands and belgium and then of course as we know for some time its spain and france so these are really most affected at the moment the netherlands will also close restaurants and bars starting tomorrow night they will prohibit the sale of alcohol after 6 oclock in the evening they will sort of restrict public transport they will try to do everything to get their people to follow the rules because that is a problem that we see across europe at the moment and that has really given started to make the figures right all of the european Member States is that people got tired of the rules that they dont believe them anymore and that was a particular problem in the netherlands so it is going to be very harsh in very hard there from tomorrow at this in the same way very similar to the Czech Republic barbara thank you for that bob reversal in brussels. Chris you have been older has tested positive for corona virus the youve had support you will strike will not be able to play country in the nations the game against sweden a wednesday in the last 7 days to other International Matches or with the other players from portugal to the negative. You take a close look at this with the water problem for the. Public what more do we know about this coronavirus positive result or were getting a lot of information of the from portuguese local media and obviously this is being covered by every news outlet worldwide and what we do know with. Kris jenner another was tested 6 times in the last 7 days along with the rest of team mates and it was actually on monday that he came back positive now we know that hes being tested again and actually imports we dont have the result of that at the moment whats been quite a concern is that it just yesterday on monday he posted a photograph of himself with his teammate it appeared they were having a lunch because of course theyre all together at the moment because theyre preparing for this Nations League match against sweden and also interesting me you mentioned before that hes a new ventris player actually there are members of the event this team who are at the moment come back positive for corona virus now at the moment rinaldo is going to be staying in portugal and we dont know exactly what his movements are going to be but he is well he is asymptomatic and he said that hes feeling absolutely fine and its also important to note that this is actually the 3rd positive case in the past 2 weeks in the Portuguese National team so its definitely a big concern for all involved hes not the 1st player to test positive what impact is the virus having on the game well not just on football well start with football because you know we heard over the past few months. Football teams have players in particular some quite well known players such as you know not be kate or neymar or ac milan strikers a lot on the brim of h. And theyve also come back positive for a coronavirus on and the thing is like with this photograph that i was mentioning before you know a Football Team spends a lot of time together there are a pretty large number of people and even if they are in isolation there are many of their members of staff who they come into contact with so its a big concern weve seen how soccer clubs across the world have been trying to control you know the spread of the virus by not having fans in the stadium or at least sort of limiting the number of people into the different stadiums around the world but its sort of inevitable that were seeing these positive cases of coronavirus on a brief word about all the sports well weve seen at the moment as well this week that the g. T. O. Ditalia the cycling Championship Taking Place in italy is on the brink of consolation because 5 teams were hit by covert 1000 cases weve also seen across the atlantic with the National Football league in the United States theyve had to reschedule 8 games as well because of several well quite a large number coronavirus outbreaks there.

Science. Keeping your distance is almost impossible in an overcrowded slum. The World Bank Says over a 1000000000 people face a heightened risk of the coronavirus due to substandard Living Conditions in slums and other informal settlements like in brazil. This is sets the population here most in years very high and its believed according to our weekly experience that the contamination index on the positive index are high. The United Nations says urban slums a highly susceptible to covert 19 due to a shortage an availability of clean water sanitation housing and other basic necessities. Welcome to the show im been physical and in berlin for the 1st time in history more people now live in urban areas than Rural Communities and population growth is expected to take place almost exclusively in the world cities and towns. It is leading to a growing number of slums. Conditions and overcrowding make them much more vulnerable to the spread of the disease. Is home to the Worlds Largest slum town in pakistan some 2400000 residents have to contend with the scarcity of water and Gang Violence its followed by. East of mexico city and to robbie in mumbai both with around a 1000000 residents. 2 of the 5 largest slums are on the african continent in Nairobi Kenya and cape town south africa. People were expecting the bars would wipe out entire slums but it hasnt happened like that the indian slum of dharavi is being hailed as a model for containing the spread of covert 19 it was widely reported to have flattened the curve despite the lack of physical distancing and Contact Tracing officials admit not all deaths are probably registered but Health Experts argue it could be greater immunity in india due to the high incidence of Infectious Diseases like tuberculosis still if its not a virus or viruses that are making life even harder for the poorest of the poor lockdown made things even worse. About a 1000000 people who live in this chronic tyro be known what its multicultural and entrepreneurial spirit. With its knowledge of migrant working class. He was expected to see is a massive 1000 outbreak earlier this year. Instead it effectively contained the spread of the whiners drawing global attention. To control of the forward situation here the authority of the arctic to measure like a breath of death thing in cleaning all the nice thing the regular of and that and quarantine and then defining thinking and a heart will get. The shutdown of all back in march future the nation wide lockdown hits the heart of the heart the thousands of Small Businesses and look shops that had been trading their cue to a standstill. Moment up good has lived in the heart of the for 30 years working as an art isnt doing thread book on fabric. After months of sitting idle their heads just assumed in his workshop. I live our earlier i used to get orders from clients but now i have to go out and look for them. And i still dont get much work. Theres been a lot of loss i have to pay the room rent and the electricity bill. He says he has never seen a slowdown like this. 6 months on with Economic Activity limping back to life most people like up there are still struggling to a living. The board of one of only work has been severely affected your county was already in bad shape now because of coronavirus people have lost whatever savings they had moving. Towards even more may mean by bracing themselves as harvey has begun to see infections rising again as restrictions are eased and Migrant Workers are dont like you we have endorsed a bill you were going to. Know. Where their member. And guess what we wanted and see we want this thing then. Their regular house and is returning to the street to the changing situation didnt require a Major Overhaul in part of the School Nothing to misjudging. After is if you think he was we fixed up a bit once his craftsman back to their villages. But he is still expecting it to be hard to make a good living for quite some time to come john friesen is a trained engineer and is doing his ph d. On the scale of slums within cities he says determining their exact size is vital in working out their infrastructure and Health Care Needs especially in a pandemic so john what do we know about covert nineteens effect on slops. I bent. Reason crosssectional studies different slums than Kenya Nigeria and india showed that with covered 9000. 00 we see a reduction in access to Health Care Services on all sides including preventive so this and we also see that the cost of health care increased by the Household Income of the slum dwellers reduced which was also confirmed by the latest report of the published yesterday so basically it sounds like things are going from bad to worse youve studied slums what are your key findings that make this fight against corona even more challenging. I think the greatest challenge is the lack of information and specs so 1st of all we when we think about covered 9000 we know. That people are worth cardiovascular diseases have. Our entire risk for severe courses of covered 9000 but we dont know how many people in slums have diseases and the findings we have sometimes contradictory and 2nd we have to say what we know about the health of a slum dwellers often limited to very specific areas for example. To keep their eye in the hall be or to be in mumbai and a study of ours like you mentioned showed that the majority of. Us does not live in this huge settlements but lives and very small settlements most of them have us have the size of nearly a soccer field and. A 3rd we have to say that. We dont know exactly how many people live in these kind of settlements when we look at the population figures vary between 200001 1000000000 persons. Or 5 so we simply dont know how many talking persons were talking about. Certainly we could find out these things i mean what do we need to find out about these slums to come up with the right solutions i know youre talking about a huge amount of people in very small areas but what do we need to. Know about i think i have to repeat i think. The most important formation is to know how many persons are living there because if you want to provide infrastructure for basic needs such as sanitation or health care we have to know how many persons are living there and another fake i would mentioned i would mention would be that. We have to be aware of the regional differences to take adequate Counter Measure as a mensa like so we have to know what the similarities are the differences between a slum in bangladesh and a slum in kenya for example will the pandemic bring the situation of people in slums into the Greater Public focus i mean an outbreak in a slum can threaten the rest of a city and very quickly. I hope so i mean this interview shows that that we are concerned about these people about these underprivileged people but what i think is important to mention is that we often call invisible or the poor and in my opinion it is especially important to perceive them not as as the others but to perceive them as part of our Global Community which we are jointly responsible for so its awareness that so important but slums here to stay as a part of a reality that just wont change. That think thats a very very tricky question. Since the enormous number of people currently moving into cities worldwide cannot be observed by which we caught planned or famine settlements and i think these slums are an informant type of settlements are necessary part of ive been ization. But after all people do not live there without reason and i think the goal of. Us as a Global Community should be to provide them with the basic infrastructure on the one hand and on the other and give them the opportunity to move on and leave the settlements if they want to. Praise and thank you very much for being on the show today thank you. And time to look into your questions about the coronavirus is the w. Science correspondent derrick williams. What about long term competitions where we seek over 1000 disabilities in the future. Doctors are especially worried about the impact of heart damage in patients and tissue death and storing there is permanence and poses Lifelong Health issues well obviously only know the long term effects of covert 900 s. Or vibrators when much more time has passed but there are already indicators that those effects will be significant the doctor who treated british Prime MinisterBoris Johnson last spring paul the disease this generations polio its a sobering prediction that implies that he at least expects Long Term Disability related to covert 19 to grow common and lots of other experts agree with them. Youll know how badly the corona virus has affected and impacted the Tourism Industry that many travelers did and still find themselves stranded far from home when the pandemic hit earlier this year including a japanese tourist in peru back in march Jesse Takayama order ticket to see the world renowned ruins of much picchu ive wanted to go there for ages but have to put off those plans myself well he got there he hadnt got to see the site yet but while strand he made a special request to the government to visit the inquisitive bell and now the government has actually granted his which after a 7 month wait jesse has become the very 1st visitor getting a special tour by the head of the World Heritage site i think i had to wait a long time because i have you along today for another of our special so see it tomorrow.
