this is deja news live from berlin pasha locked down for the most populous state in the us as california tells 14000000 residents to remain indoors the order came just hours after the u.s. issued an unprecedented travel warning telling citizens not to leave the country and those abroad to return home now or stay put also coming up a grim milestone italy has overtaken china with the highest number of deaths from

the coronavirus in one city the army is taking the dead elsewhere for burial because cemeteries are overwhelmed. just 4 men are executed in india punishments while gang rape on the delhi bus and put the international spotlight on violence against women in the country. i'm told me a logical welcome to the program california is are being advised to stay at home to slow the spread of the corona virus as infections in the us gov gavin newsome says residents have to severely curtail their movements to prevent the health system from being overwhelmed by 19 patients it falls on unprecedented alert from the u.s. state department americans have been not to travel out of the country under any

circumstances citizens abroad should return to the country immediately or they will all unless they plan to remain overseas. u.s. airports are grinding to a halt this empty airport in seattle reflects a nationwide attempt to curb further spreading of the coronavirus instructions to isolate are also becoming more urgent stay home social distancing just stay away from people stay away from these people even in new york city pork sure all clustered together i don't know what to think stay away from people a person can infect you and they won't even know that they have the virus spring breakers like here in miami have been ignoring warnings to avoid large gatherings. we do care about our holidays like a big concern but my thing is is that one day we're going to die or so. gradually virus testing is being rolled out to provide

a clearer picture of the scale of the outbreak this drive through center in new york is hoping to test hundreds of people a day at least 5 more sites have been set up in the city but officials have said there could be problems getting enough testing materials in houston texas drivers and passengers queued up for over 2 kilometers to get their swabs taken as the number of infections in the city surpasses 200 the mayor says testing capacity is insufficient there's not enough testing available right now to meet demand we hope to start tomorrow that will be a limited basis and primarily the focus will be on 1st responders and health care providers it is believed that because of the lack of an effective testing system the corona virus has been spreading undetected in the u.s. for weeks. before authorities in california announced the stay at home order i spoke to a correspondent in washington all of a salad and i asked him for more details about the level for travel warning the u.s. has issued. well the way that certainly

a lot of president to move at least on that scale and in modern american history we're talking about a so-called level 4 advisory that's the highest possible level at the state department can issue and that's normally issued for countries like syria yemen north korea or so countries of war or countries that don't hold any diplomatic relations to the united states so very rare move essentially the state department is putting the whole world now on the same level as war torn countries saying that he thought safe to travel anywhere that american citizens might end up stranded anywhere in a region that is exposed to the corona pandemic of course and that embassies might not be able to help them bail them out you know young holidaymakers have been flocking to florida for the spring break holiday ignoring advice to limit their social contacts let's take a listen and we do care about our holidays they give me concern in. my opinion is

easy to find a very honored 99 is not going to. have you thought he's done anything to enforce social distancing among these spring breakers. well you know that costs a lot of concern here especially those sound like the one you just played or also many more that is circulating on social media showing a lot of young spring breakers partying at the beaches of florida they really seemed uninformed not really caring too much about what is going on and therefore governor of florida governor dissent is banned gatherings of more than 10 people also 2 the administration there are closed beaches and in fort. lauderdale as well as in miami others remain open though you need to keep a 2 meters distance if you want to go to those beaches so that's difficult certainly for those spring breakers and there's also more bad news for them out of bars and nightclubs have to remain closed as of next week how bad does the outbreak

in the u.s. look right now. you know for a long time it was unclear how the actual numbers are because there was no testing at least not on a large scale and that testing has just started this week and since then the numbers are skyrocketing in the united states from just a very few 1000 to it almost 14000 and with 100 deaths and 180 casualties and counting and that just within 2 days that the numbers went up that big and particularly concerned are the states of new york washington california the big problem here is probably get we enhance really just like the spring breakers we've talked about some you know some people are able to work from home but you still see a lot of people on the streets and the big question right now is certainly if some states are going to start to issue curfews like the ones who are seeing in italy and in spain all right and if a senate and washington thank you. it's only has reported more deaths from corona

virus than any other nation in the world including china the original epicenter of the pandemic at least $3405.00 people have now died from the virus in italy the country has recorded over 41000 infections the region of lombardy is the worst has so many people have died there in recent days that cemeteries are no longer able to cope. they've had to call in the army to help move the dead. this is the worst hit area of what is now the country with the most covert 19 dead. and italy's lombardy region. those trying to help the living are struggling to cope. where working in a state of very high stress and tension psychological stress has gone through the roof unfortunately we can't contain the situation in lombardy there's

a high level of contagion and we're not even counting the dead anymore. look at the news that's coming out of italy and take note of what the situation really is like it's unimaginable. my best to you all let's keep smiling and stay strong you know he said. that i will simply die. and those who are looking after the dying are desperate. greatest problem which is emerging these days i would say is that the patients can't be visited by their relatives and often die on the wrong. we've started a service in which we contact relatives on the phone to explain to them what is happening so there is at least some contact. patients who are able to can call

themselves but the older patients aren't able to because they just aren't used to it. so we try and keep in contact with the family. as corona crisis exploded chinese officials who seem to have their side of the pandemic under control sent medical teams and equipment to help. yet the chinese red cross says their hard won advice is not being heated in italy. right know i'm discovering many of the problems of locking down the city here in the city of milan which is in the hardest a region you don't have a very strict lockdown policy. the public transport is still working and people are still moving around and you're still having dinners and parties in hotels and you're not wearing masks. italian streets are empty but for many there haunted by the prospect of more army trucks and more bodies.

cannot be repeated too many times on top of the self isolation and social distancing that people around the world are being advised to practice there are some simple hygiene guidelines to follow that can help stop the corona virus from spreading take a look wash your hands with soap and water and do it often keep going for at least 20 seconds especially after you've been in a public place alcohol based hand sanitizers are a good alternative if you cough or sneeze cover your mouth and nose with a tissue where you see inside of your elbow throw away used to shoes and don't use them twice after blowing your nose coughing or sneezing wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces every day this includes tables door handles light switches countertops desks phones

keyboards toilets taps and sinks. for man have been executed for bruce whole gang rape that made international headlines and sparked massive protests in india the men were hanged at dawn in a delhi prison after the indian supreme court upheld their death sentences for rape and it's been more than 7 years since they attacked a 23 year old student on a bus in the city setting off a nationwide outcry about violence against women the victim died of injuries after being tortured during the attack. responded by near a charger he joins us now from delhi and there are the executions went ahead after last minute appeals were turned down was the public pressure simply too great for any clemency. well tommy of the 2012 gang rape case in which is ready theodore woman was gang raped and who died of injuries did lead

to a massive outrage across the country it generated a lot of international and national coverage thousands of people across the country took to the seats so yes the public pressure was pretty strong and today this morning at 530 the fork on the exit you did they will hand out the as you mentioned the last minute any they had exhausted all the legal remedy which are available to them the parents of the week to him later came to be known as neighbors which means welcomed the exit usually they say that they have finally gotten justice up to 7 long years but then that is another section of people who question whether the capital punishment can actually add of that to the end or even be considered as justice how much has changed for women in india since this this killing the shocking killing unleashed the wave of protests. well since the incident happened a lot of things have been introduced by the government to ensure women's safety and

security including introducing amendments to the laws which deal with sexual assaults and leave pieces but later last year the supreme court which is the gap that stalled in india said that these changes in the laws have been created much as also the government data has shown that the nearby health fund which were which are funds which were introduced to support campaigns and initiated for women sit in and save 90 percent of these funds nearly 90 percent of these funds have not been used yet by the time that the national crime record bureau the tell the show that the conviction rate and reap cases is still quite low which is 27.2 per cent so there are initiatives and there are schemes to raise awareness about the how women should be considered equal to men and about their security and safety but a lot more needs to be done for women to actually start feeling safe outside their home. ok. in delhi we'll leave it there for now thank you
