8:13 am
this let's cross live now to tanveer chaldron a in dhaka so how did people manage to assemble in such large numbers despite the restrictions. well i think part of it he was a immensely popular figure is the founder. and also a particular platform called caliph a muslim religious platform but the local administration and the police said they were overwhelmed because not only where local people gathering there were people coming from all that district by trucks and busses police are spread all across the country because the entire country is under lockdown and enforced by police by the military so this this came under intense criticism not only from the government but from general walks of people you know from criticizing the event in social media and in general not because of the religious gathering and the funeral but because of the fact that this could spread the koran out by as this kind of literally
8:14 am
100000 people took place according to administration in that gathering and that particular district brahman by area was under lockdown since april 11th of the 1st case of that there and 7 coronavirus people were infected so the government has formed a committee there suspended 3 police officers including the assistance of burnt enough police officers and charge in that particular police station and the committees formed to investigate how that could have happened despite all the enforcement and i got to remind you on march middle of march and now the religious gathering took place in like some 4 distinct at least tens of 1000 people took place in that despite that event on the experience that should have been known better to someone manage this event because the country is now going through really widespread infection of this particular virus or a town of a county that inducted thank you. to india now the country with the biggest coronavirus lockdown in the world which is easing restrictions on some commercial
8:15 am
activities india has reported more than $17000.00 cases and $550.00 deaths so far stay at home orders remain in areas worst affected by the outbreak elizabeth raanan joins us live now from new delhi elizabeth so just talk us through what's allowed then from today. so from today down there will be an easing of restrictions and what a cool non hot spot zones green zones are areas where they hasn't been a rise in the number of cases state governments say that that will be about 10 to 25 percent of the country so the government has really restrictions on farming and all the sectors and businesses that support it that includes the transportation of goods even things like roadside restaurants will be open for truck drivers the focus on agriculture because it employs something like 50 percent more than 50 percent actually of india's workforce and it is really important with the wind to cross just harvested to make sure that supplies get from the villages to the cities
8:16 am

8:17 am
like 50000 people maybe 50000 people in the next week in containment silence and then decide whether they're going to ease restrictions the southern state of having got to has extended the full lockdown until the 7th of may they've even added some restrictions like stopping all takeout food delivery services where we. seeing an easing of restrictions is real the biggest is in the destruction says the state of carolina which has been the most successful at reducing the number of all cases and they're planning to open up restaurants baaba shops book shops but the central government has said that states cannot make up their own homes now the reason why the central government is easing restrictions is they're trying to balance they save lives and livelihoods but there is concern about it i've spoken to economists who said that this is happening too early they repeat what the delhi chief minister has said the government is not testing enough to know the real rate of infection that business is
8:18 am
a quick to follow the guidelines who will monitor them and again as down these chief ministers said raising restrictions to the early could actually just prolong the bashing against the virus elizabeth thank you. ok stans government is facing a backlash after doctors are forced to retract claims that don't have enough personal protective equipment medical staff make up a quarter of the country's new infections robin forrester walker reports. a young doctor back door makes a forced the policy on facebook after he was interviewed by kyrgyzstan's national security agency i wrote about the lack of quality face masks at my clinic he says actually this was false information and i apologize although his twitter feed was deleted this tweet that the mosque he was given wouldn't stop mosque ito's let alone 19 went viral like this so have other social media posts
