Dont dish out a kick to the stone we still see 15 percent of people moving a rush. And this is very frightening because it means 2000000 people are out on the streets every day. Thats as much as the entire population of some big cities in europe particularly its a real threat and thats why we say we need stricter measures. Of a tidbit just to doomsday gets you so call for stricter measures there will be a how is the government responding.

S. Navy says that he exercised poor judgment. Well as fear infections and lockdowns move around the world we asked some of the network of correspondents to give us an insight into how the pandemic is changing daily life. Deserted streets empty restaurants closed shops in the u. S. Capitol to stop the spread of the virus more and more states are ordering their residents to stay at home but not everyone complies if you days ago police in neighboring mary lent interrupted a Church Service where 50 people gather it and none of them were social distancing the oh so it is can only help that such attitudes will change soon as people understand whats at stake staying at home is challenging for everybody these days but now imagine staying at home if you live in a shack no one room shack with a lot of people and a very crowded space this is the reality for millions of South Africans and although the lockdown rules off the 3 week locked on extremely strict many people simply not able to comply when you talk to current you dont get the sense that people are really panicking the certainly hasnt been the kind of runs were told the paper pasta weve seen in many countries you can even still find mosques like these in certain pharmacies even though they are now selling for about 3 times the prices one place that is on this have described as the top climate now home to about 100. 00 ukrainians in fact which is pretty secure about 50 of them are now reported to have left illegally and now face fines of up to 400 euros if the emergency law has been extended here in the parliament behind me for an indefinite time so Prime Minister viktor orban can no rule by decree some hunger ins are concerned that these Emergency Powers could be abused but high gear is im more concerned about whether the Health Care System will be able to cope and maybe also about the quality of the advice given by authorities these are approaching their no told. To clean this with bleach before cooking and eating extraordinary times indeed. The view from our correspondents around the world there was one country with a relatively low infection rate so far as india which has 2500. 00 confirmed cases in a population of 1300000000. 00 last week the country introduced a nation wide lockdown to stem the spread of the virus in a video Message Broadcast on friday Prime MinisterNarendra Modi try to bolster more route by urging people to light candles for 9 minutes on sunday night.

To oranges none of these men are originally from delhi. They migrated to the capital from villages in neighboring states looking to own a livelihood. Some work in small restaurants are those at construction sites every meeting depends on the days. But with businesses closed for indias lockdown these awnings and the meals have dried off now didnt trying to go home but all the bus stations were closed the police told us to stay here. But there are no medical Services Available here and were not allowed to leave we would have to call an ambulance the police to let us go. Yet with food attack and these men are the lucky ones. The government is so why even paul would have hundreds of shelters like this one yet the demand far outstrips the supply in addition many are physically unable to reach these centers because of the lockdown. This is where Civil Society is stepping in goon an ngo that has worked on Disaster Relief during floods and earthquakes. Is now adapting to a different challenge to a disaster that cannot be seen but that is everywhere. This time fall fewer aid workers are being called in to maintain social distancing and theyre taking up tasks they have never had before relief work especially in the midst of a law down is the governments responsibility. But workers here believe there is no time to assign blame lives are at stake and not just because of the good or no iris because good men Big Government was not for the pay im making an effort but theres a capital we need to Work Together this is not an issue of survival of this sort of i will go through her. But even as these groups work to our industry to provide protection and food to the citys poorest. The fight for survival promises to be a long one. Crowding together for shelter social distancing is a luxury these men cannot afford but for now at least there is food to eat. And that report was from g. W. Correspondent a musician just wall in delhi heres her assessment of whats next for india and its battle with the virus. Indias 3 week lockdown officially ends on april 15th the government has formally denied any rumors about its extension however just yesterday the Prime Minister spoke to local leaders to draw up an action plan that enables the staggered reemergence off the population this however is far from the only challenge india faces there is a need for increased death sting as well as the increased manufacture of protective equipment along with more treatment Isolation Centers activists also point out that there is a crisis of hunger emerging alongside this Health Crisis and that this isnt just about how he hits ruler migrants and the urban poor during the lockdown but is going to be a concern extending far beyond it for the coming months as well the Prime Minister in his friday morning speech however did not address any of this these concerns and this is something that has drawn criticism and that was new mission fall in delhi just over 2 months after kovan 1000. 00 arrived in germany opinion polls indicate that a sharp increase in chancellor merkels Approval Ratings is coming to fruition Angela Merkels management of this crisis has boosted backing for her conservative c.
