India is on its way to becoming the Worlds Largest covered 19 hot spot with 4300000 cases india has surpassed brazil as the country with the 2nd tightest number of infections Public Health experts warn its inevitable india will soon claim the record its not surprising that the numbers that are coming in and. Reading in. India would be. d there by end of september. India has ramped up coronavirus testing and is now conducting more than a 1000000 a day for the virus shows no sign of slowing. That hasnt stopped the gradual reopening of the economy and schools. We have to open up the economy we have to lift restrictions otherwise work isnt possible. To protect peoples livelihoods while also protecting their lives which the high stakes decision being faced around the world. Indias battle with corona virus is unparalleled around the world and subject to one of the world strictest lockdowns introducing tough measures back in march when they were just 500 cases in the country but that didnt stop the spread interest posting record numbers of new cases on an almost daily basis with nothing to suggest the curve is nearing its peak over the past couple of months indias average number of cases per day as risen from below 30000 to over 80000 even the u. S. At its worst wasnt posting figures that high. Meanwhile hundreds of thousands of Young Indians desperate to get into top level universities have been taking part in highly Competitive ExamsSafety Measures are in place but many students are worries that a few days after the college tests theyll need covered 19 tests to.

Playing hard. Ball big because as all the Safety Measures are taken so that is going to get better than before the bend and make up or they could have conducted this exam and. They pushed it to july and now has become to put any more delays yet not everyone has been listened to about that many of the competitive advance held every year in india have default position this time students have protested online against the risk they failed they are being forced to take and have even approached the Supreme Court all of the students took to social media to trend the harsh times dries against exams and quit while the Supreme Court has rejected their demands students say forcing them to appeal for the exams is cruel its probably a good while an aspiring doctors is expected to travel one just economic does next to me to the test center she hasnt stepped out in 5 months and a steady fight to do so she her dream was over social media that another exam led to dozens of school with 19 deaths and one i know many students whose parents are asking them to skip exams this year it is far too risky to go for them nothing is decided for me either my family is scared they dont know whether i should go for the 6 im not.

These students however intend to get on with their parents this yr their career will have to be formed within this new normal. We can all speak to do we used delhi bureau chief cheema thanks for joining us so interesting this seemingly constant very steep rise in cases whats behind it you know people are describing indias the new epicenter of this girl in a virus in the past 24 hours almost 90000 new infections were reported as for reasons 7 if you asked the government theyd say be a testing more that testing the carrying out kind of 1000000 tests a day and that said to increase so they say the more we test them all cases were likely to find but of course we also have to keep in mind that india is easing restrictions throughout the country they Just Announced this week the phase number for life is coming close to normal theyve also allowed metro rail stations to operate with some districts inns and then once must also admit that people are becoming a bit casual about these restrictions and about their lifestyle theyre not taking the kind of bitter because shiens that theyve been advised to take the simply they are fed up you mention about the large number of tests that are being done and the death rate would seem to bear that out india does have quite a low death rate about 1. 7 percent compared with 3 percent in the us is that a fair defense that for where the government is taking consolation from these figures they say a fatality rate is low in india and they also see a recovery rate is very high but when you took some of the economists they say these numbers are misleading it is true that indias fatality rates much lower than in europe and in north america but theyre not that low compared to other Asian Countries especially in south asia as the governments of the experts but how are our regular indians feeling today feel is out of control i think there was a sense of panic when this. Pandemic 1st started in march a pretty good wake stream divided but i do think that people. Up though so feeling less panic stricken simply because they believe that these numbers do reflect to some extent that india is doing well and its all anecdotal evidence there is no science to prove that is the death rate low but people also then again anecdotally talk about a lot of missing death cases that these numbers are not as reliable as the government would have us believe people are always talking but i know so and so do and i know so and so who died and they feel maybe these numbers are not quite so reliable as the government would have have them believe and you broke it brought in a strict lock down pretty early on whats being done to try and get on top of this rising number of cases they have implemented a lot of myth measures but it must be said as the lockdown it was 1st implemented on the 25th of march was 1 of the strictest in the blood and india came up with this locked on fairly in the early stages of the pandemic but what critics are saying they didnt make the most of the time it was not managed very well it was ineffective the implemented the locked on with 4 hours notice there was panic among people and big did not use this time to build resilience within the Health System so they lost crucial time there and now theyve implemented several measures of course which are testing cams they have. A Corporate App that theyve asked everybody to download and you know theyve strengthened kind of capacity in hospitals and things that they are taking measures now but a bit late many people mention the Health Care System in the hospitals and how is the Health Care System coping the Health Care System in big cities was under great strain in the initial stages and you could really kind of die of stories about people dying in cars waiting to get into hospitals but now they have improved the situation in hospitals a lot but theres a big difference between who can afford health care and who got the private Healthcare System in india is very good but its expensive so not everyone has access to that and now the big worry rob is that this virus is spreading into. Yes and then the Health System is very weak to some extent in just pinning his hopes on a vaccine that is trying to develop itself it is then india is not the leading countries forking on a vaccine this and a promising trials going on Clinical Trials but theres no side of a breakthrough at the moment even if they want to be a breakthrough and then the distribution how do you distribute a vaccine to 1300000000 people the vast numbers is as always with india the issue thank you so much for he was up to date delhi bureau tree chief im researching. Now its time for one of your questions to our science correspondent dark williams. What are your thoughts on rapid kovan 1000 tests for daily use in the population. For this in syria you need some some quick background right now the Gold Standard in testing for coke at 19 is a method told p. C. R. Or the polymerase Chain Reaction method now now its very accurate but its also kind of slow and it has to be carried out in a lab by by professionals which is why in some countries like india theyve turned to what are called rapid anti gentiles switch dont test for the viral genetic code but that just for one of the proteins that that it expresses there are a lot cheaper and theyre faster and they could be potentially self administered but then theyre also a lot less accurate still proponents of widespread testing with them say the upsides of the technology outweigh the accuracy issues because they could play a key role as a frontline surveillance tool which which p. C. R. At the moment cant really do because of its complexity now on the surface everyone testing themselves all the time but it sounds like a good idea but a lot of researchers remain pretty skeptical that it will actually work out i mean youd have to produce a huge number of tests for europe alone were talking about about billions of them every week so so a major production challenge when the sale of these are already stretched and and with most commercial antigen test significant accuracy problems could really erode how much trust people eventually place in the results that they get discouraging their uptake so id say that yeah the idea of more testing through rapid antigen tests is a great one in principle. Most of the experts i read say we shouldnt expect to turn the tide on covert 19. Science correspondent Derek Williams that now pope francis has made a play to the catholic faithful to look out for each Others Health during the pandemic speaking to a mostly socially distanced crowd of worshippers at the vatican the pontiff encouraged nations to work towards the common good during the pandemic rather than seeking economic or political advantage he said a virus that does not recognize borders must be faced with a love without borders during the speech the pope did caution the audience themselves to keep distance between each other and not to crowd together. That sash out thanks a lot for joining us. Into the conflict zone in between sebastian. China is roiling the west and europe along with the u. S. And many countries is pushing back hard cash issue a growing list of Human Rights Concerns through hong kongs new security law like this is me through very journey is one cool yeah well why is this country freaking so many fights these days aware of a new media conflict of. G. W. Political dissent in russia can be life threatening poisoning alexina is just one example we need Organization Leaders who refused to be intimidated. Human rights are disregarded in iran free freedom and justice not dont exist here you can spin were 30 days behind bars just for calling for a protest. Really. Focused on europe. 60 minutes on d w. Oh. Every day counts for us for our plan. Is to bring concert. How do we see. How can we protect how to. Budget with all our waste. We can. By choosing Smart Solutions for staying set in our lives. To see research in. Double. Wide open that are trying to pick a fight so its one country one system now isnt it and it was a cover up that no the right in the old well thought out goes right through my system doesnt that china is roiling the west and europe along with the us in many countries is pushing back hard at issue a growing list of Human Rights Concerns including hong kongs new security law my guest this week from beijing is one who yeah out of government advisor who heads the think tank the center for china and globalization weinsteins country thinking so many fights these days and where are they on leaving. Dr wang who go welcome to conflict zone thank you europes getting fed up with beijings threatening behavior and telling politicians here where they can go and who they can talk to telling the Nobel Prize Committee who are going toward and who had come and what made your government. I think it could push europe around like this what 1st time for you to hear that but i dont think that that it was the government position of there could be misunderstanding of. You know theres a maybe theres a lack of education or whatever i. Heard from you i dont hear anything from that. Here in china i dont think so well perhaps you dont hear about it in china but just days ago the german in foreign minister hike a mass told beijing bluntly to stop threatening europe after senior czech politician has gone to taiwan and adjusted parliament your government had warned hed pay a heavy price for his visit there thats bullying isnt it no i dont think that it was really probably understood in a rug i think that you know one china policy has been. Hold and has been really maintained for the last. 4050 years and also its a basis of china establish diplomatic ties with all the d countries that have east of america relation with china so so i think country publish should. Really safeguard this one china policy and not having those official high level visit so i think its a i can stand china is not happy and. Maybe the speaker maybe reflect that. Satisfaction so so i hope that. This is not it will be interpreted. As a china threat or anything so so that is poverty a different operations what dont you want you may not like western politicians visiting taiwan or chinese nationals being awarded a nobel prizes but thats your problem isnt it i mean these repeated attempts to impose your own prejudices and insecurities onto the International Community and clearly doing you any good. The tall are you its counterproductive well i think that probably in all your country has set up diplomatic ties with china im sure that goes through the theyve gone through the diplomatic establish in relation talks and they have actually already. A bit by certain principles and the guidance so if they recognize one china policy and then that one china policy does not. You know also reflect the or fissure contact between the other country and taiwan and that should really be respected i think so if certain countries doing that china certainly has a right to. You know express their opinions as well i think that china just express its satisfaction and its all opinion i think that should not be interpreted any more than that well if you intended a strong reaction if you intended a strong reaction from the European Union you got it because its Foreign Policy chief you dont have burrell code china your government expansionist or authoritarian and the new empire that undermines International Law did you really want to pick a fight with your largest export market well i dont think that china is the picking a fight always with china largest market and no i mean its probably both market for both those regions as well and as i said you know there are certain. Guidelines and principles 11. 00 country is that is a diplomatic ties and the recognize one china policy and national. Wire lated or bridged and if that is happen china certainly have a right to protest and the given. On the dissatisfaction and those so his comments i think thats fair fair you know thats not expansionist perhaps youre just too sensitive about free speech and free contacts because you dont exactly have a lot of it in china yourself do you know as well nongovernment think how we do and start out of. Probably the government policy so we speak from nongovernment private think time point of view but you are a government advisor here you are listed in your own Facebook Page as a government advisor you advise the government then we have would do it the right way i think that does does otherwise is to of course but the we are not the government we have not got the officials we advise in think time does advise people of course but when the government so so im not a Government Spokesperson so so so if i knew if i think time understanding i can explain but some i dont know i so i i cannot satisfy you of course so you are you telling me you are surprised that the kind of language that china uses these days when its dealing with the west and dealing with other countries i mean we have big examples like your embassy in venezuela told those who talked about the china virus they told them to put on a face mask and shut up is that the kind of diplomatic language you think is a good idea for china to use these days well the situation youve been describing the some of the i havent heard before but. I think that maybe there is a contest or there is there is china is also under a lot of attacks and. So i think we should really have a dialogue we should have come to the occasion in visiting i certainly think that this pandemic has stopped. People to people exchanges and stop the many visit and also many exchanges. Between china and our cyber war so thats very unfortunate and i hope that these. You know. We should overcome that one pandemic is under control i think the governor is doing its past and also we see that our visions of visiting some countries to conduct exchang
