of congo have tremendous experience working. with it in a bowl of virus epidemics and have excellent training and have a very good track record of getting this under control so i'm confident that they'll be able to do so but of course it will be without hurdles and and it just might take a bit more time than initially anticipated and check on the world weather in just a moment and then with government coronavirus allowance of foaling shorts in iraq we will make the volunteer is trying to fill the gap. such floods in 10 years leave a trail of destruction with several people dead and many more display. how will the weather actually in europe for the next few days will be sent to in this massive cloud over the western meant. stock particularly frontal the cold front is keeping eastern europe code in the other ones sitting out in the atlantic

$17000.00 cases and $550.00 deaths so far the stay at home orders remain in areas worst affected by the outbreak the latest on this with a list of parana now in new delhi what actually is allowed to happen from today. so as of monday there's an easing all some restrictions only in places that are considered known hot spot all green zones places where they hasn't been a rise in the number of cases and state governments think that that would be around 10 to 25 percent of the country so what is allowed a really big easing of restrictions in the farming sector and all the businesses that support it so even things like transportation roadside restaurants will be allowed to open for truck drivers to focus on farming because more than half of india's workforce is employed in the agriculture sector and with the winter crop

just harvested it's important to get food from the villages to the cities to avoid shortages there's also going to be an easing of restrictions in and banking and public works in the social sector and construction and all that specific restrictions and self employed professionals like plumbers electricians carpenters i to repair our allowed to work and again would. as well as the specific restrictions everyone has to wear a face mask when they step out of their homes and observe social distancing norms we have heard from the government in the last few hours and they have said that there's already been violations of lockdown measures that they have been more incidents of violence on health care workers complete violation of social distancing norms and too much movement of vehicles in urban areas. with india obviously a massive country many states there with their own leadership. using these exemptions which you know available. they're not come

also here in the capital delhi we've had chief minister arvind kejriwal said that there will be no easing of restrictions and that's because he believes that the government has a tested enough to know the real spread to all of the virus that they're going to. test nearly $50000.00 people in the next week in containment zones and then decide whether they're going to ease any restriction states like the southern states of telling ghana has extended the complete lockdown until 7th of may that even added more restrictions like stopping all the takeout food delivery services where we have seen the greatest easing of restrictions is the southern state of carolina that's because they have been the most successful in flattening the curve in reducing the number of cases and they're planning to they were planning to open up restaurants book shops barbershops even have short bus routes but the central government has been in touch with them and say states cannot apply their own rules

that the central government's guidelines have to apply that they're doing this because they're trying to balance saving lives and livelihoods but there has already been a lot of concern not just from defense chief ministers but from economists who say that this is actually happening too early they agree with those who say that the government hasn't tested enough to know that when they say that an area is a green zone it's not a hot spot they haven't tested it enough to know that that is really the case that businesses don't have that they're not equipped to follow the guidelines and how will any of this be monitored and that by easing restrictions to that we could just be prolonging the battle against the coronavirus is with her and with the latest from new delhi thank you. dozens of refugees and migrants rescued from the mediterranean have been transferred onto a corn tin ship near the italian city of palermo they were picked up by a charity vessel in the a multi easter talian ports have been closed to rescue boats because of the risk of

offer some respects to iraq's most needy families struggling to get fired during the coronavirus pandemic this group of university students and recent graduates has raised private contributions through social media to fill the gaps in iraq social safety net. we don't rely on the government we depend on ourselves and the generous people who donate to us a few days ago we went to the houses of those in need we checked how many they are and what they need sometimes they don't need food they need medicine so based on the needs we register we will provide what they need. the volunteers head to our area in the shaab neighborhood one of the poorest and most neglected in baghdad many here depend on daily wages but because of the month long lockdown they've been stuck at home with no income father of 4 mohammad siobhan used to earn $25.00 a day working at a restaurant before it was shut down. the impact is very big we live from day to

day as you know the daily labor cannot save money even if he has money it may be enough for one week or 10 days. many here are desperate for help but the volunteers only have 50 foot baskets some criticize the group for unfair distribution but most of their anger is directed at the government which dick use of corruption and systematic neglect when i want you to come see him i was born in 1950 and i'm a waterbed trend where the even my branch isn't in the level or does the because the government distracted with other things that are of no benefit to us 20 percent of iraqis or $8000000.00 people live below the officially designated poverty line but only half qualify for social security payments of up to $180.00 per month the government also hands out food rations to all iraqi families though many complain about delays in poor quality now a new program has been launched to help reduce the impact of the coronavirus pandemic the government has called on families suffering from economic hardship to

register for a special monthly allowance of $25.00 but even for the poorest segments of iraqi society that would only cover a fraction of their living costs. the government says it is doing enough to help iraq's poor. the government allocated $250000000.00 for one month for $10000000.00 people who don't have any income and who are really hurt by the curfew because of the corona virus crisis so the funds are expected to be paid out by the end of the month but for many iraqis living in poverty it'll be too little and too late what they need is for a curfew to be lifted so they can again return to work and fend for themselves simona 14 al-jazeera baghdad so some other news heavy floods in kenya have killed at least 4 people and left 28 missing that includes police officers who were on
