And weve used it for thousands of years to ward off disease find out how copper is being made into an even more powerful tool against coronavirus. And sport the worlds biggest cycling race has been postponed organizers say the Tour De France cant start. Hurting happen later in the year. International Monetary Fund says the coronavirus pandemic will cost the worlds economies 9. 00 trillion dollars over the next 2 years the warning comes as countries around the world face prolonged lock downs as they try to contain the outbreak the i. M. F. Chief Economist Says it is the worst economic shock since the Great Depression of the 1930 s. Flattening the spread of coal with 19 using lock downs allows Health Systems to cope with this crises which then prove permits a resumption of Economic Activity in the sense there is no tradeoff between saving lives and saving livelihoods countries should continue to continue to generously support their Health Systems perform widespread testing and refrain from trade restrictions on medical supplies a global effort must ensure that when therapies and vaccines are developed both rich and poor nations alike have immediate access our correspondent alan fischer tracking this story for us this hour on the news are so alan this will be focusing minds when it comes to finance ministers around the world. It is a pretty stark assessment from the International Monetary fund that the Global Economy well essentially contrived by 3 percent in the 1st quarter and theyre hoping that in the 2nd half of the year things will improve but the met that that might not be the case if the situation gets worse if the lot bones continue then this just might be the brighter side of the Economic Forecast of course that is always the opportunity that things could actually get back to 70 people leave that may well happen if there is to be a recovery in 2021 saying that in that time we could see the go the whole Global Economy rebounding by about 5. 8 percent but it will be slow and it will be patchy because Different Countries will come out of this at different points talking about how it impacts various parts of the world in the United States youre talking about a loss of 5 point one percent in the economy in europe where the use the euro so excluding the u. K. 5. 7 percent in japan dont buy a 5. 2 percent and china growth of just one percent now looks as if china is getting out of this quite well but when you consider that last year the reported growth of 6 percent you can see just host of v italy that has hit their economy what the i. M. F. Says is that when all this is done you have to get away from the idea of d. Globalization because that would help the Global Economy and also the has to be a fiscal stimulus a close several countries has to be coordinated it cant just be piecemeal and you see in that way that could rebuild the Global Economy by 2021 but as i say a stark assessment from the International Monetary fund and as far as the u. S. Economy is concerned specifically alan where you are donald trump is saying look i am the guy who can or will choose not to restart the economy when the time is right other people saying no it has to happen in stages and on top of that what you had what claims for 1617000000 people putting in claims for Social Security in the states in the space of 3 weeks and thats never happened before ever in the u. S. No i dont want to be clear donald trump doesnt have the power to order states to reopen what he can do is put a great deal of pressure on a number of states a number of governors and say look you have to do this but he doesnt have the power to reopen the economy and many states are very much in line with public thinking in this which is we will reopen when the scientists see safe though there are a number of organizations who are tied to donald trump election effort who will be regarded in this country as right wing who are saying that they are going to start organizing protests demanding that the economy be reopened and it may well be there is a gradual reopening but you remember that donald trump was talking about having the economy up and running again by easter well that was last sunday hes now talking about me the 1st that seems unlikely when a number of states are saying that their peak is still 2 weeks away so that would take his towards that date this is going to be a long slow process and you have to see it through donald trump size he sees that through the prism of if theres a Strong Economy that he will be reelected thats what he believes that is what his campaign has been building on and that is what been building up to the point when the virus hit and he thinks if this continues then the economy will be wrecked he will get the blame and therefore he wont be reelected that is why he is very keen to reopen the economy as soon as possible but looking at the figures from the i. M. F. And what donald trump is saying it seems unlikely that in the 2nd quarter which would take us through to june for those who dont speak Financial Talk which would take as to the end of june they are saying that this is going to impact the Global Economy and its going to impact the United States and it could well who are in for a period after that as well allan thanks very much lets bring in karratha lever hes a senior economist to Capital Economics a consultancy in london garth welcome back to these numbers are staggering what do they mean. They are unprecedented and i think that is because the economic shock that were facing now is unprecedented that large parts of the Global Economy are effectively shut down to contain the spread of the corona virus and until Health Officials and governments are confident that the virus in contained these measures will remain in place an economic shock will continue. Were seeing some economies begin just to loosen the strictures inside which theyve been operating lockdowns or partial lockdowns or near lock downs will the easing of those economic stays if you will go any way to mitigate the staggering figures that were discussing from the i. M. F. I think they will do so what you probably see is the Global Economy probably shoot maybe 10 percent this quarter but as the shutdowns are unlucky you will initiate least get a very strong rebound as shocks and factories are reopened but i think then the Global Economy will start to face a number of headwinds in the form of very weak demand that lots of companies have gone bust through this unemployment is higher and all of that will drag on Global Growth as well some sectors for example recently or is that going to take a very long time in detroit and when you talk about that kind of knock on effect a domino effect almost say 6 or 12 months down the line you know weve seen say in the past 24 hours people returning to Industries Like the building trade thats good theyre making money again people are building houses but no ones going to build a house that is a buy the house is rather because they cant get a mortgage because theyve lost their jobs. Now exactly so you will get this initial back in Economic Activity it shocks and so on opened up but straight after that i think hes going to run into a lot of headwinds in terms of the kind of the draft thats going to come from all of the big shot thats happened over the past quarter in terms of bankruptcies in terms of lost jobs and that is going away quite heavily on demand and that is why governments and central parents in stepping up stimulus to try and give the economy this extra boost when it comes out of this shock this induced by these shutdowns what formal that stimulus take only is multiform so Central Banks have cut Interest Rates in places where Interest Rates near 0 theyve introduced constant easing governments have also been loosening fiscal policy so in some countries its in the form of cash giveaways to people this in the form of very cheap loans to companies to make sure that they can they can get through the crisis but all this is really a Disaster Relief that the moon is to make sure that these companies can get through the crises i think in the 3rd quarter you need another boost from governments as well to provide that extra supports the demand thats going to be lacking from the private sector because of unemployment and higher debt levels its own kind of leather thank you very much and keep. Well as if that Economic News wasnt bad enough the Worlds Airlines now stand to lose more than 300000000000. 00 in revenue this is the latest forecast from the overall industrys representative body carriers have grounded aircraft and crew of course amid a growing number of travel restrictions and border closures lets go straight to our economics editor about ali who joins us on skype from london abbott great tabby here on the news hour this is kind of the blow that the Airline Industry was waiting on landing on top of it wasnt him. Rita youre absolutely right you know the the Airline Industry employs some in the region are 65000000 people directly and indirectly and so you know theyre expecting 25000000 jobs could be lost over the next 3 months and less government. Help now we had in the United States that the truck administration has said theyll give 60000000000. 00 to the Airline Industry but the end im industry hasnt has been reluctant to take those on because part of that money comes in the form of loans and quite rightly so many people would think and some of that money cannot be used to buy back shares or dividends or any or all right hey executives huge bonuses as has been the case in the previous previous financial crisis in 2008 so theyre reluctant to take the money and when you look at for instance in the u. K. The British Government has said listen you know were not going to hand out huge bailouts to help put the airlines and where it will take each airline case by case and see see what support we cannot offer but the 1st port of call you need to go to your shareholders to get your money and youve got British Airways now theyre in the process of for logging 30000 employees so this is a very real economy kind of stuff this is peoples lives being affects and we put this into the why the context because the Global Tourism industry is such a Huge Industry its a battle has 9 trillion dollars. Is the actual value of it and it employs more than 300. 00 people around the world and its not Just Airlines its hotels its cruise ships and its your every m. B. A. s you know little the little guys are suffering as much as the big guys ok when we talk about the little guys and the big big guys in the context. Of the Airline Industry i noticed on twitter British Airways is scrapping 1747 per day every day this week so my question is this will this directly impact the low Cost Carriers for whom the Profit Margins are very small or the big legacy carriers the British Airways the American Airlines the the quantas type airline setup you know those big legacy carriers whove been around for 506070 years so i think this is a very good very interesting question now that his i think. British airways has taken and quantas theyve taken lessons from the low Cost Airlines and so theyve been reducing their costs you know when you go and turn to our internet or a plane you know theyll be giving you. A sandwich rather than the whole of full meal and the be reducing other costs as well along the way so you know you can put you back each just like you do for the low Cost Airlines this is going to hit all airlines i dont think that you know is this that and then it will pandemic will discriminate as to you know who gets the most so all airlines what will need some kind of funding or well need some kind of bahrain to get them through this particular process in the us for instance that if for if Small Airlines of bahrain got under 100000000. 00 they dont have to abide by the rules which say you know you cant use this money for anything or anything else like dividends or whatever but this is this is money for you to keep people in jobs and so i think youre going to see the same kind of support around the world from from. Now from government to sue airlines which will be specific to say this money that we keep you is entirely for keeping people in work and anything else you need to go to your shareholders to find the money thanks very much. Ok lets wrap up the other top developments to do with coded 19 as of this hour russia announcing more than 2700. 00 new infections another record daily rise total of 21000. 00 cases the government says 170. 00 russians have died as spain loosens its lockdown measures its death toll there supposed 18000. 00 more signs the infection rate there is actually slowing down china has approved human trials for 2 experimental virus vaccines as it fights to prevent a 2nd wave of infections lets go to london and our correspondent neave barker covering the european angle on this so another day another bad day for the russian authorities knave. Thats right peter theres absolutely no doubt that the situation in russia is getting worse and worse by the day and rapidly accelerating according to the kremlin the number of new infections is going up between 16 and 18 percent but given the size of russia all the way from vladivostok in the far east to moscow in the west its very difficult to have any clear cut data very difficult also to be able to roll out the kind of support necessary to all parts of this bus pass country but im in moscow we know the president Vladimir Putin has warned that the situation will only get worse before it gets better the capital is believed to be days if not weeks ahead of other parts of the country there the lockdown is very truly enforced people are being told to stay at home not to go to work until the end of the month and theres been a real ramping up of restrictions in the past few days some new legislation has been rushed through the russian duma threatening people with a 7 Year Prison Sentence if they flout restrictions we know that some digital permits are being rolled out in parts of the country to allow certain people access to their vehicles if they need to but only under strict rules and regulations when it comes to dealing with the virus itself well a number of hospitals have been commissioned across the country 18 we believe in total some of them being built from scratch the hope is to have as many as 95000. 00 beds ready and in place for the peak of the virus to come in saying 40000 currently are ready to receive a patients but nevertheless we have seen pictures of queues of ambulances forming outside hospitals in the capital it begs the question of whats kind of situation is likely to unfold in areas of the country that are less well provided for and weve got the least. Figures as well for the u. K. Specifically for england and wales but also on top of that weve had this information from the office for national to statistics basically making us saying to us look youve got to focus in on work as well and in the care homes the outsiders homes those places that are semi privatized the they exist on the edge of the n. H. S. Where the people who run them took all the right decisions maybe earlier than the government they sealed literally seal people into these care homes. What were looking at in the same figures from the office of National Statistics is a huge disparity between between what the government is saying and what the reality on the ground is or the government is basing its figures on the number of deaths within the Health Service within the national Health Service or in hospitals what they are not taking into consideration of these figures that are now being shared so up until april the 3rd the office of National Statistics is the actual death toll was 15 percent higher than the official figures so if you look at the figures around now its around 11 and a half 1000 deaths in the u. K. Should we then just assume that we should add 15 percent on the top of that bringing it closer to more than more than 13000. 00 bringing the u. K. A little bit closer to from when it comes to its death toll you would have thought that this kind of data or would be pored over would be at the forefront of specialist minds looking at trying to bring the situation under control oversee all of this data will be need to be need to be closely looked at when it comes to determining whether or not to. To ease off the risk current restrictions obviously the british economy would like to see that happen sooner or later but also Big Questions are being raised as to where the resources have gone as well we know a lot has been plowed into the national Health Service but what were hearing over and over again are old people homes Retirement Homes also Community Centers that are helping people out and about in their own homes deal with the crisis saying that they are lacking important items to keep their star safe. And what really is being demanded now is much more transparency when it comes to understanding where the real toll are where the real. Critical parts of the British Society are where those worst affected by the coronavirus are really being seen thanks very much. Ok to madrid where we have. Standing by for us here on the news our welcome back to the program so theyre loosening restrictions there were seeing people going back to work the building industry that kind of occupation but how are the figures looking today. Well todays one month since the onset of. A state of emergency lockdown in spain and in the past 24 hours we have reduced to 560 new fatalities and more than 3000 new infections some call it 19 these thorough we can see that this figures are a slowing down gradually keeping it in the same stage is the degree of his flattening but the figures are very have very worrying anyway as you mention 1000 of us panniers between yesterday and today have gone back into work back to work were talking mainly about sectors of mat manufacturing and construction 1700000 spaniards of penna construction sector and we see how well these people in fact in all the regions of spain yesterday 9 regions sent and the rest of them to date and all these people taking the public transport all these people going back to work and complaining because the guidelines given by the government owners of the all these Companies Providing person are protected and trying to maintain the safety distance social distancing of 2 meters between employees are not very reliable and people are complaining that they dont have the protective equipment older Police Officers were distributing or handing out to the masks in the subway in the metro but this is not enough all these people Food Insecurity fairly the bit confused but we have to say yes but you were talking before with other guests the International Monetary found already predicted for spain a drop of an 8 percent in the g. D. P. And at 21 percent of unemployment a plan implement we have to remember that only in 2 weeks last month in spain 3500000 people lost their jobs so these decision of gold returning back to work after this 2 weeks of economy hibernation this decision made by the Spanish Government that many people have criticized because its too early. The. Pandemic is not under control although guidelines given by the what her organization what not following them so Many Political parties even spaniards are criticizing beasts this isnt easy is it not there are a stick since very early taking very soon there was a picture today we sell former Prime Minister marty and all that oil exists out exercise and out in the street is not the 1st time these happens and many of the neighbors have reported it so people are not taking seriously 100 percent all these restrictions and hes used to look down and maybe yesterdays message out of some sectors returning back to work are a little bit confusing for spaniards martyr thanks very much china has approved human trials for 2 experimental virus vaccines state media announcing one banksy and is being developed by a biotech firm of the other by the China National pharmaceutical group the countries now trying to contain imported cases especially from russia across the border globally there are at least 70 potential vaccines being developed 3 of them are at a clinical stage which is when human trials begin china the u. S. Is the only other country doing human testing experts are warning against rushing the process they say doing so could result in a vaccine that weakens our bodys ability to fight off the virus on its own the others who are either crucial steps in the trial process of being skipped earlier i spoke about that with john mickel a clinical professor of pathology at the university of hong kong. Normally with the vaccine to start off with small animals and then move to the prime its an end to the humans but it seems of this one that theyve gone straight to the humans which is a very Bold Decision i think the other issue is that you notice that theyre all using young volunteers and this is actually going to be a big problem with this vaccine is that because the most of the mortality in this disease is in the elderly and in the elderly they dont mount a very strong immune response thats called immune senescence so the best thing should actually be to see what the antibody response is in the elderly rather than the young because thats that the target population which has the highest mortality because. Remember you know weve got an aging population in hong kong during saddams an 11 percent the population was over 65 now its 18 percent so if they have the best use of this vaccine. Should be really how much is going to prevent a serious disease in the elderly vaccines cant be rushed in because as was mentioned earlier is that if you rush a vaccine too much and you get side effects and thats going to have a really deleterious effect and we also rate i know what percent of the population needs to have the nearest seal vaccinations effective things like measles you need about 95 percent so beat because we really dont know at this stage what the proper herd immunity is challenging to know at what amount of the population will have to have the they antibodies either through natural infection or i mean or vaccination to beat for it to be really effective. Putting more of the pandemic later here on the news often an update on another top story for you libyas u. N. Recognized government says its made gains in its fight against the warlord holy fuck off to officials in tripoli say their forces have taken control of 7 coastal towns the prime.

Chinas approved human trials to 2 new experimental vaccines against the coronavirus suffice to prevent a 2nd wave of infections. U. S. President onil trump using his latest virus briefing to play a Campaign Style Video Montage he declared he alone was the total of thought its at the site when the economy reopens the u. S. Death toll is approaching 24000 and is the worlds highest john hendren reports from chicago. President donald trump is determined to open American Homes and businesses even over the objections of some states when somebody is the president of the United States the authority is total and thats so its got to be hold your 36. 00 total its talk of the states closed the governors of new york and illinois dispute that saying they want to end shelter at home orders based on science and they say the science isnt clear on that yet we want to get things back to more normal as soon as we can but one thing that we have to Pay Attention to is what direction are these curves going and what are the what is the advice that were getting from again the scientists and the doctors who know more about immunology and about you know all the issues of covert 19 then you know than an elected official is not a doctor in a fiery 2 and a half hour News Conference President Trump excoriated journalists you know youre a fake so whatever theyre doing it smirked as he showed a montage of news reports that he said underplayed the threat of the virus and denied he had any problem with his point man on the pandemic even after retreating a twitter post saying fire found not everybodys happy with anthony not everybodys happy with everybody. It happened one day after the man at the center of the controversy anthony said fewer people would have died if the u. S. Administration had acted sooner it was found she said that was it but who are choice of word this i did on earlier you know im doing. Everything i do is voluntarily please dont even imply that the president was especially irate over a New York Times report saying he ignored warnings of the pandemic in bungled the early response for 80000000 americans there was good news in the White House Briefing with more of them out of work than in any time since the Great Depression treasury secretary Steve Menuhin said they could expect long awaited stimulus checks of up to 1200. 00 apiece direct deposited in their Bank Accounts on wednesday. The spectacle eclipse the results of the wisconsin election announced one week after the state forced voters to gather at polling places despite the pandemic. The man the president assailed throughout his News Conference his chief rival joe biden won handily john hendren aljazeera chicago. White house correspondent kimberly hi they could often and good morning mr trump saying as usual he calls the shots but he doesnt. Yeah thats absolutely right the u. S. President insists hes done everything right even as deaths are nearing 24000 in the United States and he says he has the ultimate authority when it comes to restarting the economy something that many public Health Officials say would be premature now just in the last hour or so the governor of new york andrew cuomo has been discussing giving his reaction to the president saying he has total authority over restarting the economy and heres what he had to say if he ordered me to reopen it in a way that would danger Public Health i wouldnt do it it already sets up a conflict that were seeing between the president that says he has total authority and the governors who have the constitution of the United States on their side now heres the reason the u. S. President believes he has total authority is because of that Emergency Declaration which gives the federal government an awful lot of power but historically that is not the case and theres this is where constitutional scholars are weighing in saying that the u. S. President is overstating his powers but we have a very firm conflict now set up because what weve got here are 2 sort of sets of groups of governors one on the east coast one of the west coast who say that theyre going to Work Together in conjunction with each other to decide when to reopen this economy in the midst of all of this the u. S. President says hes forming a 2nd Coronavirus Task force exclusively to look at this issue one that he says will be the biggest decision of his presidency thus far but already were seeing problems here because just for example the social distancing guidelines the federal guidelines end on april 30th but we have states like the state of virginia just outside of washington d. C. That has social distancing under that governor in place until june 10th you see the problem here the bottom line is that in the United States because its such a big country the geography is so vast youve got not one pandemic moving at the same speed but different hotspots all around the. Country where some are peaking some of not yet peaked as anthony found she says this is not in terms of turning on the economy going to be like flicking on a light switch and when it comes to thinking on the light switch kimberly so what weve got 910 states between both coasts doing it stage by stage i guess but there any of those individual state governors making themselves a hostage to fortune of a saying is anyone saying ok well do it in a week well do it in 2 weeks so they giving us a time scale here theyre not and he the reason its politics as it often is in the United States no one governor wants to be on the hook for saying i turn this on too early or i turn this on too late and as a result this happens so thats why you see these groups forming no one single governor is going to shoulder all the blame for making the mistake because lets be honest this is tricky even the scientists dont know how this is going to play out weve even seen the evidence that those of that have had coronavirus then theres some sort of reactivation that were noticing is taking place in other countries that makes it very difficult to calculate whats going to happen here in the United States so the u. S. President the midst of all this does have the biggest decision of his presidency and hes bristling at the criticism that he may not have done everything right hes criticized the media hes criticized the states for not being prepared and we shouldnt forget hes also criticized the World Health Organization because also looming ahead of us this week is a decision on whether or not the United States will withdraw the funding to that body because the u. S. President says that it has not delivered the outcomes that its been to china centric and also that it was too too slow to declare a global Public Health emergency as you can see the u. S. President eager to point the fingers as the spotlight remains on him understood kimberly good to talk to as a thank you so much. Well the pandemic threatens to leave millions more americans going hungry as companies lay off workers but food is going to waste at the same time particle hain explains why. Its happening across the Country Rivers of milk dumped down drains and ponds millions of leaders wasted by farmers who say they cant sell it the reason about half of their customers are closed restaurants bars School Cafeterias all shuttered but at the same time store shelves are mostly empty theres very little milk to be found and those that can find some are being limited to how much they can buy Wisconsin Dairy farmer Marty Hallock says the problem is that milk packets for restaurants is not the same as the kind they can sell in stores. Plants were sent out to our bottle now in certain containers so i. E. The schools where its marketeers you know a lot of people will buy them small containers and store a minute and then to be honest with the. Issue from storage and trucking and now there is a new concern about the countrys meat supply meat packing plants are tight quarters and his workers get sick but the coronavirus plants are closing across the country analyst steve meyer says he expects more plants to close especially as it peaks in certain states at the end of may but he says the country will not run out of meat remember that a plan to get out does it mean that the hogs disappear i suppose hogs are still out there they will have to be slaughtered and processed at some point and. So as long as the plants are permanently down were not running out and all of this is happening while tens of millions of americans go hungry with so many out of work this is what Food Bank Distribution now looks like all across the country from california to pennsylvania florida to texas miles of cars lined up for a box of free food were looking at an increase of 17100000. 00 people over the course of the next 6 months when they see that accepts food coming into the hearts some of them smile and some of them cry its been an increasing trend up until now americans have spent more money at restaurants and bars their Grocery Stores that is what the supply chain was built for bringing the country to this point so much fresh food wasted when its desperately needed the most political gain and jazeera washington. Joining us now is paul obrien hes Vice President of policy and advocacy for Oxfam America he joins us from washington paula brian good to talk to you again here on the news this feels counterintuitive how can america be in a state where people are being limited on how many liters of milk they can buy and yet producers are literally pouring the stuff down the drain. Weve been working with vulnerable communities around the United States including with Food Producers all of this is happening against that that the backdrop of a fundamentally broken economy and thats why its showing up in these ways these heroic efforts by banks are are manifesting a terrible fact about how unequal the economy is in the United States before the crisis started 40 percent of americans didnt have or 100. 00 that they could use for an emergency so when this week 6000000 people hit the jobless lines now weve got 17000000 youre exposing an economy where people were already on the edge of under ability and whats happening here is really a microcosm of whats happening globally our our Global Economy is fundamentally broken poor americans are paying the price now and its going to land for people all around the world in the coming months and were deeply concerned about how leaders are addressing the crisis can the Delivery Systems or the Production System be repurposed so well and if it can would that have to come from federal government or State Government so that those products that people want to buy because theyve got to feed the kids literally can actually get to some point of delivery to them. Well were looking at the global food system right now and we see examples they are of the kinds of prices that are going to play out here youve got the car use that are looking at their own food supply theyre shutting down borders and food systems so that they can feed their own thats making it harder for netsuite importers to get their hands on the food that will keep their people healthy in the United States we are going to be seeing we dont think there is the same kind of hunger crisis here obviously those food banks are very just distressing but were hoping that people will be able to access good supplies if they can get money into their hands and that the bailouts that are coming through the stimulus packages actually accrue to the most Vulnerable People on around the world its worse in terms of accessing those that supply and speak cuz you literally have 6 whole systems under quarantine people not allowed to access that supplies and we we are now concerned by 100000000 people may fall into poverty and deep Food Insecurity around the world so yes its a problem in the United States but its a problem globally does that mean for oxfam globally not just Oxfam America but the Broader Organization that you work with does that mean that you would support loosening restrictions if only as a source of offering a temporary respite to these people because if people can go back to work they get paid money they get paid money they can buy food in a supermarket. Exactly and yes we do we got to get new solutions from leaders but on economic and health terms we have we started this whole crisis with a fundamentally broken Global Economy the 2 richest people in the United States had more well then the help budgets of the 85. 00 poorest countries 160000000000. 00 they were preparing for the onslaught of the pandemic and they have nothing like the resources that they need to to grapple with the crisis so yes were going to need new solutions were going to need to open up Food Supply Chains so that course communities can access that were going to need much more thought about how you balanced the economic and Health Security of the most vulnerable as the crisis starts to hit these countries paul obrian there in washington in the states thanks for coming on mr brymer appreciate your time thanks for having me on indias extended is locked on for another 2 and a half weeks up until may the 3rd but the Prime Minister Narendra Modis sense restrictions could be partially eastern areas with no infections indias recorded more than 10000. 00 cases and at least 350 deaths elizabeth puranas in new delhi she reports theres growing concern in india over the implications of the lock down. The Prime Minister tried to address some of the main issues around those concerns most people in india do agree that the lockdown is necessary as he himself said there were 550 cases when india imposed a lockdown 3 weeks ago there are 10000 cases now and 350 deaths in the lockdown must continue but how do you miss a case the hardships for so many in a country with so many already poor and hundreds of millions of daily wage it is well the Prime Minister said that he acknowledges the difficulties that they have gone through disproportionately that the daily wage as his top priority but he didnt expand about how hes going to get the how that both central and State Governments have promised them but aid still isnt reaching so many people and were seeing that the Unemployment Rate has gone up from 6 to 23 percent he also spoke about the agricultural situation in the country Something Like a hof of indias workforce actually books and farming and follows havent been able to have the say when to crops they also havent been able to apply this summer crops because of a lack of labor because of the disruption to the supply chain and india is facing a possible agricultural and food crisis.
