In some towns in indonesia he is about the coronavirus can quickly turn into rage this ambulance was on its way to the local symmetry in brand new mouse carrying the body of a covert 19 patients. Turned back the men say they dont want the body buried in their town this is the fate for many victims of covert 19 alone and isolated in their final hours and i wanted in death was. The local mayor tries to get the protesters to disperse behind. It to the risk of getting the virus from a dead body is low the living can talk a sneeze the can not to have explained this over and over again.

Traditional burial practices have to be put aside for now bodies a disinfected and wrapped in layers of sanitized plastic before burial.

More than half the global population could be living in poverty and the often loss of the pandemic the Charity Oxfam is warning that half a 1000000000 more people will be pushed below the poverty line and that could set back the fight against poverty for up to 30 years in africa and the middle east the report recommends the g 20 finance ministers the International Monetary fund and the World Bank Must help to bail out developing countries. Apolo brian is the Vice President for policy and advocacy at Oxfam America is joining us now from washington d. C. Were pretty sure its your time sir thank you very much indeed within the group that is most likely to be hit who is likely to be the hardest hit we think the concentrations of harm are going to be in north africa Subsaharan Africa and in the middle east if you think of it in terms of the economic crisis is coming were already worried that 40000000 lives will be lost but in terms of the economic crisis and you think of some communities like mumbai or in asia or in cheap down or in nairobi in africa or mexico city just slums in those 5 cities more than the population of the country that i come from and these are people who cant do social distancing who are overwhelmingly working in the informal economy who have no social protection there are more than 2000000000 people on the planet earth who work in the informal economy they dont get sick days. What do you think is the best solution for this i know that youve been talking about relieving some debts but in practical terms what are you suggesting. Well in leadership terms were going to need new solutions because weve never faced this kind of crisis that is coming out us in so many ways and theres a real opportunity for leadership next week as the ministers of finance from around the world gather for a Virtual Meeting of the g 20 in particular has a real role to play there we think the solution next week can come in 3 forms they can agree to cancel the debts of developing countries this year the payments on those debts that would give them a trillion dollars so if youre sitting in ghana right now and those debts were forgiven they would have the ability to give 20 dollars a month to the 16000000. 00 kids who are in ghana and when you think that 10 percent of the going and population that is on about 60. 00 a month that may be the difference between name getting one meal a day or not eating at all so thats the 1st thing lets get debt payments cancelled but this year 2nd we need to create some kind of International Reserve what the i. M. F. Call special drawing rights giving countries the right to draw down resources from the i. M. F. The pending on their contributions in the past for the g. O. P. That would mean if we get a trillion dollars in special drawing rights it would mean for 630 1000000. 00 that would be a 45. 00. 45 percent bump for their. Health care expenditures and then finally we need more 8 we need to scale up our thinking and our imagination and the numbers of our a we think its going to be at least half a trillion dollars in a 500000000000. 00 in aid we think just 160000000. 00 of that which by the way is less than the wealth of the 2 richest americans 160000000000. 00 and they could double the expenditures on health of the 85 poorest countries so its doable if we have the political will and thats what well be looking for next week paula bryan is from Oxfam America we appreciate your time thank you very much indeed. Thanks for having me aid groups are concerned about the prospect of the pandemic of reaching the besieged syrian city of people there are already living with extreme shortages of meds and while hospital supplies have been depleted by nearly a decade of war but some residents are taking precautions into their own hands and of course the other reports 5 years ago the war in syria because Mohamed Al Assad family members and his leg now the latest advents by the Syrian Government forces has forced him from his home in sarah cape with other relatives and they are living in it they face and in threat the coronavirus pandemic yet for him and his father it is also an opportunity they found much needed were making masks.

So far no infections have been reported in and put up the right man checks his employees temperatures and ensures they sen as their hands before they start searing every day. I think the 1st 3 were corner because the virus is getting closer to the liberated areas there is high demand in masks right now all crossings to the regime areas are closed so we produce here we import the fabric and medical vaseline we so sterilize and sell in the markets. We produce between 5. 10 pieces a day and sometime work is done by small hands before being boxed and sold in the local market the less money there is in the we cant import mass from china right now demand is high prices went up this local production is a bit different in concept the 3 layers of sterilized mask helps us during this crisis it is unclear if the Health System in a blip could handle an outbreak but for these people being able to work is a relief and gives hope to many that includes mohamed who soon might be able to afford more help and treatment see namco solo aljazeera u.

I know that there may be some in our movement who disagree with this decision who would like us to fight on for the last ballot cast at the Democratic Convention i understand the opposition but as i see the crisis gripping the nation exacerbated by a president unwilling or unable to provide any kind of credible leadership and the work that needs to be done to protect people in this most desperate hour i cannot in good conscience continue to about the campaign they cannot win and which would interfere with the important work required of all of us in this difficult hour Michael Fauntroy is an associate professor of Political Science at Howard University he says sanders decision may hurt the republicans. As i was hearing the clip of him giving his remarks today the 1st thing i thought of was 4 years ago where he continued to hammer on Hillary Clinton and continue the primary contest even though it was pretty clear that he had no real chance to win the nomination that activity that posed to reality activity weakened Hillary Clinton going into the general election and made it more difficult for her to compete with donald trump who already marshaled the Republican Forces going into the general election so i think this is an example of a Lesson Learned Bernie Sanders does not want to go to and in history as the person responsible for weakening to one of whom president ial races and so i think and never going to great example of how he has accepted the reality of the situation and he knows that perhaps if he done this earlier 4 years ago donald trump may have never won the presidency the republican strategy going into november senator going to a fractured Democratic Party because they expected Bernie Sanders to continue in the race deep into the spring and perhaps even into the early summer and that his forces would be so angry with by with really Vice President biden that they would not want to be enthusiastic supporters so by jumping out now he complicates the the republican plan but its a lot of dr who has pleaded guilty to the man slaughter of 39 people who were found dead in the back of his truck last year the bodies of 31 man and 8 women were found in southeast england and of toba the result of an alleged people a smuggling operation 4 other suspects have been charged over the deaths.
