And borders china gets increasingly worried about a new wave of infections from outside. And will take years to greece where aid agencies say unsanitary conditions at a refugee camp are risking life. But we begin this hour in the United States where corona virus infection and fatality rates are rising fast and the countrys foremost Infectious Diseases expert is reminding americans of just how bad things will get dr anthony found she says there could be between 10200000 deaths in the United States and millions of cases his warning comes as the federal government considers rolling back some containment measures while in europe spain recorded another 838 deaths on saturday thats a new high its infection. However was low and in the u. K. Theres been 209. 00 deaths just in the past 24 hours raising the total to 2118. 00 and not long ago a cabinet minister said the u. K. Hasnt experienced such emergency measures since world war 2. Our Live Reporting Team spans 4 continents this news hour francesca minute she is standing by in rome where italian officials have announced another 756 deaths so negate ago will bring us more from the u. K. She is in london mahmoud double what it is in libya where fighting goes on as if it step up to try to deliver medical supplies manual paolo will bring Us Developments from across latin america hes in mexico city but fast alan fisher is just outside washington d. C. Allan weve heard what seems to be a startling prediction from anthony found it is that really just the reality of what the u. S. Is facing at the moment. Well any time you hear an experiment like anthony folks here to kill a the sort of numbers that is quite a shock and take of breath it still remains quite shocking but sadly it remains within the predictions that he needs from the very start that the infection rate will be high hes talking about millions of cases and all of those millions then theyre expecting the possibility of somewhere in the region of a one percent fatality rate with the population in the United States being 352000000. 00 you are going to be talking about 10200000 deaths now he says itll fall somewhere in the region between 100200000 theres a big gap there theres a lot of leeway there and he says thats because its a moving target the are taking steps to try and take the edge of the car of all of this but there is a problem with that 50 percent 56 percent of the cases that are reports in the United States break in new york state and theres a growing number of cases in louisiana all tied to people at tending the event in the run up to easter they went to mardi gras 1500000 people so there is a problem but im 25 she says remember this is a moving target looking at what were seeing now you know i would say between 10200000 cases but i dont want to be held to that because its deaths i mean were going to have millions of cases but i just dont think that we really need to make a projection when its such a moving target and all of that does that weve been hearing mixed messages coming out from the board ministration about a possible quarantine whether well stand with all of that now. Well that is not going away thats become a travel advisory to people in new york connecticut and new jersey known as the tri state here in the United States and remember its 24 hours ago that donald trump on his way to a helicopter to a trip down to the Norfolk Naval base suddenly announced that he was considering a fill quarantine in these areas andrew cuomo who is the governor of new york was asked about it said it hadnt been discussed with him and then at a News Conference just in the last couple of hours he said actually the president coming out and saying that left a great deal of panic in new york there were people wondering whether they should leave the city whether they should pack up and get out at that point and he said so we ended up dealing with this panic as well as the epidemic itself so youre suggesting saying directly that that wasnt helpful the difficulty of course is that when donald trump started talking about some sort of cordon teen he had neither the power to announce one nor the power to enforce it so it would be left to the states. Meet and the states believe they are doing a very good job of what theyre doing at the moment and that is taking the edge of the car just one other point rhode island had actually put in place through executive order by the governor i moved to try and stop people from new york going into rhode island the police were stopping cars with new york license plates they were going to be told and that perhaps if people from new york staying there and were essentially saying youre nice of quarantined for the next 14 days well the governor of new york and the governor of rhode island about a conversation in the last few hours and that executive order has no been rescinded so all the states involved contacting this at the moment are trying desperately hard to get ahead of the car by providing enough hospital beds and enough ventilators but its important to mention that under cuomo said that new york is still 2 to 3 weeks away from the apex of this disease that peak all of this disease and that runs right up to easter when donald trump of course said he would like to see the cut in country reopening alan 1st of all with all the offers from the United States just outside washington before thank you allan. Well moving on to italy which has reported and another 756 deaths from the coronavirus now thats slightly lower than the day before but it still has the highest death toll in the wild at 10000 779. 00 more than 5000. 00 new infections were also reported the government says its likely a nationwide lockdown will be extended beyond april 3rd to try to stop the spread well its now speak to Francesca Minot she shes in rome for us francesca yet another day of really shocking numbers. That. And that really neat that the arm that were not right now found. In the not i live more than 700 new or they. Found it but there arent that a but that. One i want to go there and that they run. Me even if we have read that. The yet that they and the date before that grand in there if you can are. They more than 5 and they say yes they are there they have friday one never really. Got there. Were any 4 hour that are not a lot of hours in a lot of day not an hour the number out there you know very high. Number the with. The cries to anybody the number of new in fact its low but its not that we got the gun and a lot of people. Need the lockdown. Order not all that and and your. Problem and the crime you know. It come up still or that that that. What not a lie and right now on average 3 with the pope well and then that band it. Who we are or who have been and now than i am. At a growing number of those that are warning that either you are bad you are being mocked because of the great high run the not report that needs the obvious 19 and the not. What. You need at all oh i know im at the moment that you want another number. You want and not that were going to hide and you need money and big crowds and that mom and i are in fact. Francesca minot she there for us in rome thank you for that rather grim update francesca well lets now cross to sonya agar whos joining us live via skype from london so nia we have also been hearing this regular update the b. S. Daily from the British Government and then now i believe saying that they optimistic for some kind of a low a peak. Well this does of course that old hinges on whether the public is really a daring to the measures that the government is really ordering into which is to stay at home to not mix with the people but its really i mean this is a responsibility that really rests on the general population at large that the numbers have policy they they are reluctant to make sort of strict full costs about this because of course it is a totally moodle situation is a very fluid situation here however in that press conference deputy chief medal medical officer did say that this kind of situation could be in place in the u. K. For for about 6 months 3 to 6 months you said up to mystically 3 months but most realistically 6 months and she said the reason for that because in 3 weeks time they will have to review whether the current measures that are in place are effective or not and if they are and are proving to be effective then the government has states that it will be thinking about introducing even stricter measures if it feels that the population on listening to to those measures directly now in 2 to 3 months they will be able to see how successful they have been in trying to push down the rate of infections of course were not going to get an idea that nowhere near reached the peak in the u. K. Yet but 3 to 6 months or so then to assess whether we can adjust those measurements and whether they can be a kind of partial loosening of them again all of this is is completely fluid and all of it dependent on exactly how the British Population are reacting to this to these measurements and of course were moving into spring some other days of getting longer there is sort of concerns about how people will be behaving how patient they will be. With those measures in place and whether they will actually be getting more frustrated or are they willing to listen to what the government says that it has to do in order to keep those numbers down sonic a are there for us in london thanks very much sagna well during that latest Coronavirus Briefing thats when i was talking about the u. K. Housing minister said all medical staff will get the gear they need as soon as possible to n. H. S. And social care workers all those who rely on this equipment and to their families and loved ones watching this afternoon we understand and we will not stop until we have got you the equipment that you need but when i spoke to a doctor on sunday he told me he is worried there is nowhere near enough protection for he and his colleagues. I think the speed at which they hold all the social isolation could have been done better but more importantly the protective gear that there is available for the n. H. S. Staff if it were fully lacking and i really really disappointed with the on going to work tomorrow and im going to be seeing potential patients with this condition and all ive been offered to wear is a plastic pity which will protect me from anything really a pair of rubber gloves and a mask which which were protect me to this new i wear that nothings upset the rest of my face that kind of theory is that theyve all got people working in it and quite rightly but it should be made available to all Health Care Professionals and social care professionals who are seeing people impatient with these conditions so. I am really really disappointed a lot of worries but my sister actually than a week consultant in brussels and she sees patients on a daily basis and again just wearing a tough it could be a mask and rubber gloves which isnt going to protect the 3 of her colleagues already or with the body. All moving on to libya now which has announced 5 new corona virus infections bringing its number of 9 cases that 8 medical equipment that was recently rushed into the water on country is being distributed by libyas military forces in tripoli and the ministry of Health Dozens of fighters have also been killed in libya and fight side to scan a says in southern tripoli and thats despise officials announcing new cases of kind of 19 u. N. Recognized government has now imposed a cashier to stop people from leaving their homes between 2 pm and 7 am local time but our correspondent mark without the law has now joins me from tripoli must go and talk us through the situation with this uptick in violence there. Well. There was a panic among people but nevertheless as you know libya still remains one of the least affected countries that by covert 19 thats partly because the country is isolated to some extent from the outside world because of the fighting in the case and in his timidity in the country as you know not not many foreigners are tempted to come to libya because of the case in the country thats one of the consequences of the war but it has been for the benefit of libya but yet people are still affected by the global panic of 1000 pandemic infections but the government of National Accord here and the worst of the country has been implementing the measures as if the country its been if infected it despite the fact that it remains that one of the least countries affected by the virus that curfew hours have been extended as you just mentioned from 2 pm until 7 pm working hours have been downsized from 9 am until 12 noon and also the government has banned movement between cities now as you know that the Health Sector is very weak so many people are worried that if the if any possible break happens then they grew worried that the Health Sector might not be able to come from their wave of infection the mother did you say and though the Health System there is indeed very weak but there are these new medical supplies that are arriving talk us through how thats going in terms of the distribution. Well the government of National Accord has received. Some medical equipment and medications that are required to confront any possible outbreak of the virus and authorities in im a to get airport say that they have received. Several. Amounts of these medications and theyre going to be supposedly distributed to all medical centers and hospitals in the worst of the contrie but as you know. That the country especially here in the capital tripoli has to now deal with 2 plagues cemented the city as you know that the ongoing war and indiscriminate shelling so that lands in density Populated Areas with the threat of possible Virus Outbreak so the government is. Likely dealing with 2 plagues at the same time and challenging times ahead but whatever why have there for us on the ground in tripoli thank you mark went well in latin america countries there have been ramping up their containment measures somewhat drastically than others has just extended its nationwide calf here until at least the middle of next month while our correspondent manual repeller is in mexico city for us manual the numbers keep climbing and the restrictions keep tightening talk us through how the region there is coping with all this all the case of Central America really the case of like america as a whole you see several very different containment efforts and a lot of that has to do with the different attitudes of World Leaders in each country in the case of honduras which you just mentioned the government there announce an extension to an already existing nationwide curfew a strict curfew that if broken could land you in jail could lead you a fine financial penalty and. Hundreds has already. Reported some 110 cases 110 confirmed cases of virus at least 3 deaths thats of sunday is the big concern for countries in latin america specifically in Central America specifically in honduras as you mentioned is that the country is one of the poorest prepared when the most ill prepared if not the most ill prepared country when it comes to Public Public health and Public Health spending and again there are certainly a lot of different policies that were seeing come out of Central America right now some of the more extreme than others as you mentioned the case of honduras theres the theres the nationwide curfew if you look at all solved or this is almost a model for how to be manage one of the 1st countries in the region to to announce in a should wine quarantine and then you look at another extreme countries that are not taking it as seriously countries like honduras which countries like mexico which only recently asked people to stay indoors countries like nicaragua where there are still soccer games being played outside it for lack of a better term the polls there is the government simply burying their heads in the simplest as it man you are that live press and mexico city thank you very much for that update. Well how to deal with the heaving Economic Cost of fighting the pandemic and recovering from that has already divided european leaders as its me and spain according for a response on the same scale as the plan now this was the enormous us Foreign Aid Program in the late 1940 s. An early fiftys that helped to rebuild european nations that were left in ruins after wild war 2 well in spain also want the e. U. To stop issuing corona bonds now thats a form of common debt that government fell to raise money for the individual economic means but gemini of the netherlands and others are rejecting that idea of joint debt and its also been talked down by European Commission president asad of and len. Is economic minister had this to say in response. Now the remain the words of the president of the commission are wrong im sorry she said that in the European Council we asked the euro group to make several proposals we are committed to supporting your proposal to issue bonds that will help cover the extraordinary expenses we are facing for the some urgency is the most adequate response of the shock on the economy and we expect that everyone will recognize the fact that the European Union has to rise up to this challenge including the president of the e. U. Commission. And spains Prime Minister says the e. U. Has never faced a bigger crisis than this pandemic and i think that sort of space is not be there for them it affects all countries it does not obey borders and does not distinguish between past economic policies made by one country or another was that the response count only the national it must be European Response it has to be responsible we all role as one whether we are dutch spanish or portuguese italian or german it has to be a European Response well lets not speak to phillipa ground in london hes an economist and a former Economic Advisor to the president of the European Commission felipe thanks for joining us on aljazeera were seeing this division seeming deepen between the countries worst affected by this pandemic and in the rest of europe what does this mean then for the European Union Going Forward how united can it be. On i think there is a very strong case for issuing current of arms borrowing collectively and this is a European Crisis which for now. Italy and spain and most but germany is just close behind and france behind that and the way this pandemic is progressing so fast who knows where. Most affected i think you know the. Ottoman point is that if you dont show solidarity in a crisis what is europe for and if this is not a common crisis what is and the objection to that which is made by germany and the netherlands and others that somehow this encourages bad behavior it is Utter Nonsense in this case i mean you know no no bad behavior has led to this pandemic and he said he is not behaved worse than germany or indeed the netherlands and that the great advantage of collective farming is that it wouldnt add to the National Debt load and therefore it would be wouldnt add to the likely pressures that would be for crippling austerity after this crisis from the euro zone fiscal rules which would worsen the hole that italy spain other countries are going to be en route and philip you mentioned the s. Socalled corona bonds do you think that they will actually be enough to support the economies of these countries i mean were talking about sharing the bad or right but then everyone is taking on the battle Going Forward. Well i think that a common euro zone debt instrument which could be purchased in indefinite quantities by the European Central bank would be a very effective way of spreading the load not just across europe but across time and that the e. C. B. With then resell them at some point in future but that would be a long way down at the line so it would spread the cost very effectively geographically and over time and i think that you know it its very dangerous politically the that the game that germany and others are playing basically they reckon that italy and spain ultimately will back down that there wont be any cost out of this and i think that given the desk that are occurring given the strains that is pursued on society and if youre a comes to be seen and not as an ally and in a time of need but rather as a problem and thats going to have a long standing consequences in the short term i think that they should just borrow more they should borrow and spend more as the United States is doing as the u. K. Is doing the e. C. B. Has announced and may come out and see this program its interesting 705750 1000000000 plus. Of government and Corporate Bonds and italy and spain should throw caution to the wind and do whatever is necessary to support their economies and this tara need really were talking about all this lack of solidarity and i say wonderland has self when she even said countries that especially when it came to initially sending medical equipment and supplies and we had seen this very different set of approaches and across europe when it comes to not only combating the pandemic but also dealing with the economic fallout of that denmark for instance taking a very different approach to some of the southern European Countries that were talking about how do you try to reconcile all these different approaches Going Forward. Well i think that clearly there are different approaches being taken to the medical emergency though over time more and more parts from sweden are converging on the lock down model in terms of the economic response i think that. Mostly its about supporting people in jobs supporting the incomes of people who are working less who are out of work and supporting a businesses so that they can get through a cash flow crisis without it becoming a silence you crisis i without. Going bankrupt but there are very real constraints. That exists more in other countries some countries than others and certainly up until now the physical response is made much bigger outside the euro zone in the u. S. And the u. K. Than it has been in italy or spain and i think that that that that needs to change i mean i automatically were looking at the possibility of a depression more severe than that of the 1930 s. And everything the possible needs to be done to prevent that happening philip background there a former economic adviser to the president of the European Commission thank you for joining us out of there thank you well as we reported at the start of this news out spains death toll from the quran a virus pandemic has risen once again with more than 800 people dead just in the past 24 hours that brings its total to more than 6500 not iran has all the latest from the draft. Today the death toll has reached 605 or so and 6500 people die it 100 more fatalities in 138 more fatalities in 24 hours so we have seen how the number of infected people 79000 has gone down a little bit but even these figures are really back during the Daily Briefing have authorities have recognize or at media that 6 managed regions are at the limits of their intensive Care Capacity they dont tell us which regions but. We we have to wait until they tell us which regions but it could happen the same thing as in madrid that has become the epicenter of the of the grown up Virus Outbreak hearing spain with all these hospitals overwhelmed and set up on these ice rink or some more because the funeral then the municipal funerals couldnt call any more and maybe in a few days time work see how the court room this building becoming another funeral home to so we have to wait a little bit to see what happens next. Now in the news ahead from designing fashion to face masks a small businessman in lebanon on says the call to help his country with much needed medical supply. Violence and abductions have impacted mali long delayed elections. But. We have still got some unsettled weather coming in across a good possible the middle east iraq has seen some lively showers longer spells of right now the town of iran this area here thats got to continue pushing for the race would some heavy downpours for some 5060. 00 millimeters the price any possibility is that he sees its way over towards afghanistan towards pakistan want to coming back in behind northern parts of iraq still in the mix as the saying somewhat the weather spilling out there live in the prices a broadening out well see temperatures getting up to see 20 celsius in a beirut route to 29 here in doha quite a keen wind over the next couple of days but it will tend to ease off as we go on to was the middle parts of the week says unpleasant sunshine coming through plenty of sunshine on the other side of the red sea is fine enjoy their for egypt had also into sudan but we have got to show us just around somalia. Always a possibility of some possibility of some flash flooding as a result of those showers the showers they run down across ethiopian highlands will see some wet weather just pushing their way across parts of towns and their very heavy rain into the gulf of guinea some big downpours coming in here over the next day and showers to the south africa. But. When diplomacy fails and fierce we then our borders are wide open. What open to drugs terrorists weve proven the barriers are built to impose division external to sixtys instead of being an obstacle or tool a dole wastes into became another obstacle to peace in a 4 part series aljazeera revisits the reasons for divisions in different parts of the world and the impact they have on both sides walls of shame on aljazeera. Reporting in the field means i often get to witness not just the news as a breaking but also history as its unfolding crossing from serbia into hungary the refuge one day i might be covering politics of angel and the next like protests. Whats most important to me is talking to people understanding what they are going through so that i can convey the headlines in the most human way possible. Here at aljazeera we believe everyone has a story worth hearing. Hello again im astonished and a reminder of our top stories this hour the Top Health Official in the u. S.

So much businesses has already told it has already went bankrupt closed down due to coronado iris thailand has closed its doors to all foreigners thats left many without jobs this restaurant in part time has reinvented itself it is now a Community Kitchen feeding hundreds of residents struggling to cope without an income i think about hand baggage on our part regearing out free food to people who bore the brunt of the situation at least they can save up to around 40. 00 to 50. 00 baht for a meal per day adding a lifeline for them on sunday or announced a temporary suspension of all visas for foreigners cambodia too will stop issuing visas on arrival for at least a month as the government tightens restrictions on travel as in a bid to combat the surge of the coronavirus cases but as countries across asia close their borders the city at the heart of the corona Virus Outbreak continues to welcome new arrivals well than 60000 people returned to woo hands on saturday as train stations and roads reopened after a 2 month lock down flights will resume on the 8th of april when residents are finally allowed to leave the city if they can hold or its of course much better now there wasnt any people on the street before now.

Now people with autism her depend on support from carers are particularly vulnerable in this pandemic children adults with learning behavioral and communication difficulties are finding locked down and isolation rules challenging as priyanka reports. For bartik work here in poland its not just about Financial Security but also his relationships with friends he has a sport a syndrome one of the conditions of whats known as the Autism Spectrum Disorder the new coronavirus pandemic and government Restrictions Mean hes not stuck at home away from friends and people he depends on hes struggling to cope with the fundamental changes to his life and actually about losing his job. Says its a late night. Currently and it affects my life in many places. Most about my job. But. Which happened to me i know in the many questions which are not high everyone how we all doing a tap from the u. K. Is autistic and 2 for 3 children are on the autism spectrum shes using video blogs and Live Streaming to help herself and other families cope with self isolation. My usual life has been changed and obviously as a parent autistic children im expected to be in a position where im staying calm and structuring their lives that but im still autistic so i have found that my anxiety levels been high and i think that the best ways to fight with that moment ought to try and find some kind of routine or schedule within the life that were now living so that you know what we expect from day. For those who depend on support from doctors therapists and specialists teachers the closure of school its a lot of cities and towns its particularly destructive. Paddick buying supermarkets has also affected those with specific food needs a distress around can affect some of them deeply a lot of autistic people work on certainties one interesting things are families that theres a rumor that people think of the people own empathetic but we have quite a lot i think we read we thought it was all the room so a lot of panic that we found within the community is caused by the people around us panicking expert see why most of the world is hunkering down the key for families with a to stick children is to find ways to cope with c. N. N. And some families telling us that childrens react responses have been quite emotional and old higher levels of sensory seeking behavior that theyre seeing as well and all all response to that has been to try to create a level of routine as governments around the world take unprecedented measures to protect Peoples Health and safety many are concerned about how a longer lock down will affect the lives of some of the most vulnerable. To 0 well lets now bring in aaron croyle she is an ethical new york and she is a disability rights advocate and also the mother of a child with down syndrome erin thanks so much for taking the time to speak to us today i know youve had your hands full with caring for your son talk us through how thats been going at home so far as my oldest is 9 and many as a 7 year old brother and 5 year old sister and its interesting hearing that happens because it is very trying theres no routine theres assignments from the school but its were not really able to do it when you take a child who has a team of 8 people teaching him at School Including a one on one aide and then trying to implement strategies at home its just its really not possible my husband and i are both in and. Its just really not. Its not really in our hand with its just not possible. And its challenging for everyone and i imagine also fear of the children who were there your sitting in new york and weve been hearing so much about how the Health System is so overwhelmed with coronavirus cases how would your son or other children access care if any of them needed it. So bad its this weird thing right is this paradox where everything feels so normal its just kind of like a long distant of the cation we have all the food we need to have a comfortable home and yet around us everyones getting sick. And if my son were to get sick or if one of us got sick and my son got sick arlo what has Downs Syndrome meaning that makes him high risk there are actually parts of his immune system that dont function properly yes respiratory issues that dont work if arlo got sick he would likely end up in the hospital so it is this underlying terror that we sort of deal with every day everyone smiling and kind of having a good time but if you take a moment to think about what could happen its absolutely terrifying. Another component of this for families with disabilities. Dealing with disabilities is that. The Health Care System does not keep up with disability 1st so if my some were to end up in the hospital he would end up at the end of the line he would not get the care he needed if it were him and a 40 year old man the 40 year old man would get yes you bet my son would not and that is terrifying and aaron youre sitting there on the lockdown and youre also a disability rights advocate did to people there with disabilities or special needs have access to the equipment or medication they need as you continue to sit on lockdown. So right now many of us do but i have been reading articles where for instance my son needs a mural for his just Everyday Needs the common cold can give my son pneumonia so he needs albuterol in he needs a immune system treatment that requires human antibodies that requires blood donations so as this progresses theres a good chance of shortages a friend of mine has a son who is on life support whos on a ventilator and has already received warnings that they are not going to get some of the equipment that they need because its going to go to hospitals and so as this continues to unfold with the cracks in the u. S. Health care system you know a so called developed nation with sort of a 3rd world if i if i may i know that term is not ok anymore but a 3rd world Health Care System in many ways people with disabilities are going to be denied that every day hearing that they need even at home and its just we really dont know what to do and i know that as we advocate we are advocating with the legislators and National Legislators but because this is a crisis when you think about whats going on in the hospitals those laws are not going to trickle to the hospitals doctors arent going to be staying up on that because doctors are just doing what they can to get by every day and did everyone really just trying to survive erin quel their disability rights advocate but also the mother of a child with down syndrome we wish you erin and your family all the best thanks for joining us thank you now 3 israelis have died from the corona virus bringing the death toll there to 15 now earlier israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his main rival benny gantz say theyve made significant progress towards forming a unity government that dale is being made to address the corona Virus Outbreak harry force it has more from west to east and where that decision by benny gantz is dividing his supporters. They say that they will meet again during the course of the day and they intend to announce a unity government the various leaks that are numbing out into the israeli media suggest. Last arguments precisely which ministry. So yes we can expect so its a couple of things that happened yes this this crisis this National Emergency is benny gantz leader of the opposition former leader i dont want to speak. Because it was decisions gives me. And he says it is because of the situation that is previous opposition to Benjamin Netanyahu Holding Office as an indicted Prime Minister someone placing 3 corruption trials hes had to set that aside and people may talk about broken Campaign Promises but his call promised support the state of israel about everything remains the one that hes abiding by in all of this he has taken quite a lot of flack over this not only from his former partners in the opposition but also from some voters and commentators its center you know allowed. The Prime Minister to stay in office a woman in feria has died from the 1000 in the capital damascus and the fast death in the country which now has 5 confound that call says president Bashar Al Assads government has taken measures to try to prevent the spread but in rebel controlled areas like in the province aid workers say millions of displaced people are to risk an overcrowded camps. Well Doctors Without Borders is warning that refugees on the greek island of lesbos also is a great risk of coronavirus and need to be moved immediately in a statement the charity said the overcrowded and horrific Living Conditions in the camps so hot spots on the greek islands provide the perfect storm for a covert 1000 outbreak given the lack of adequate Sanitation Services and the severely limited medical care the risk of the virus spreading amongst the inhabitants of the camps in greece is extremely high once theyve been exposed to reports. Like thousands of other Asylum Seekers this resident of moriah camp is lighting a fire to warm himself and cook lunch and like thousands of others hes using a piece of plastic to start it fires are the only source of heat in winter 8 groups say they cause serious respiratory problems and the burning of plastic makes them even more dangerous one of the asthmatic patients the father explained to me that one night he came back home they were heating the tent with the hard cold inside and when he arrived back none of his family members. Were it was unable to wake them. And had to drop them outside they slowly recovered so most probably this was like a Carbon Monoxide poisoning its easy to burn rubbish because it isnt being collected a local contractor is paid to pick it up inside the official camp and to a radius of 10 meters outside the camp fence but within that space we found this ravine filled with it greases Reception Service is responsible for awarding sanitation contracts a former director says governments dont properly oversee contractors. A great public worker whos moved from the mainland works for 475 euros and sleeps in the same conditions as a refugee stands in stark contrast to an ingenious sanitation worker in athens who earns 1500 euros a month this inequality explains why the final result and sanitation isnt what would light. Raw sewage also seeps into this ravine where Children Play because at 20000 people this camp is filled to 7 times capacity and its sewage pipe overflows a pipe designed years before it was built thanks clearly the delay in building the sewage pipe was to extend the use of the sewage trucks which cost huge amounts in my view over 4000000 euros and maria and the other islands that money could have been spent on Sewage Treatment plants they didnt happen why not because they were interests against it ive seen this to the list for us prosecutor. The government says it will take 10000 Asylum Seekers off the island and ship them to the mainland in the coming weeks another 5000 will be offered a generous financial incentive to go home and the European Union says it will take at least 1600 unaccompanied minors off greeces hands reducing the numbers might be a short Term Solution but it does not address the deeper problem of mismanagement relieve greek taxpayers of the bills the European Union may refuse to pay as a result jobs are open loss aljazeera less force. Turning now to some other news happening around the wild and polls have just closed after a parliamentary election and modeling now gunmen abducted observers in a bid to try to stop the voters turnout was low due to security concerns and fears about the coronavirus the elections already been postponed twice because of violence by armed groups it went ahead this time despite the abduction of opposition leaders to my list the same correspondent joins me live from dhaka and neighboring senegal nic given the turnout today just how credible is this fires. Well as you mentioned i mean this election was supposed to take place 3 times before the last time there was a parliamentary election was in 2013 almost 8 years ago now the reason why. The president was so adamant to go ahead with this election is that its part of a 2015 Peace Agreement with armed groups and contingent in holding this election is the millions of dollars in aid that mali needs to keep going for almost a year now schools have been closed hospitals are in disarray and obviously critics of the president will say that this go this vote went ahead at a time of an epidemic the corona Virus Outbreak some critics pointing out the polling stations that were equipped with hand sanitizers water and soap are better equipped than the hospitals themselves and throughout the day weve seen numerous attacks kidnappings in absence of a mom kidnapping of a election observers the theft of ballot box and the threats from armed groups of violence and so this has been an election with a very low turnout people were afraid to go out not just because of the armed groups but also because of the fear and threat of the virus remember mali is in the state of emergency a Health Emergency because of the outbreak and on top of that the security situation add to that the fact that days before the vote the leading opposition figure some say kidnapped was sending a real strong signal to those that wanted to vote that this isnt something that the armed groups are willing to see.
