please do not to dumb to police. april and. d.-w. . this is d w news live from berlin the world wide death toll from corona virus surges past 10000 medical staff around the world are struggling to cope working long hours with not enough equipment and fears of getting sick themselves in spain a concern is growing that the health care system won't be able to cope. and we'll hear from our science correspondent about the idea of herd immunity which some governments suggest might help give us a rundown on this approach plus contact containing the corona virus in germany to

target to varia leaves the seeds and closing down public life almost completely a big debate over whether the entire country should go into lockdown. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program the worldwide death toll mounts as the corona virus keeps up its rapid spread according to john hopkins university in the united states the coronavirus pandemic has now killed more than 10000 people worldwide fears are growing in spain that the health care system won't be able to cope it is the worst affected european country outside of italy and medical staff are already struggling correspondent john philip schultz has this report. doctors and other health care workers sprains new heroes that work has never been as

crucial as it is now overtime emergency measures and preparations for worst case scenarios the art of the dead staff are too overwhelmed to speak to the media eventually we managed to reach a spanish doctor by telephone who was working across the body from. marietta ohio i you and your colleagues feeling at the moment i think what 20 years. to say people's lives to the make that. better quality of life. george he makes. all i think they should all really wish i was just right to walk my dog 4 times yes what can each of us to know he thought she was shot. the jelly she. said the things that are said so. i think. i got to take the

measures. oh god. the association of spanish emergency physicians warns that thousands of lives are threatened the courage locked on measures are obeyed spain only has 5000 beds and intensive care units many health care institutions have been privatized in recent years but due to the current emergency they are now partially back under state control. every even a good age o'clock sharp people like straight take to get the police to applaud them. it's a ritual they will get medical workers to do to help them get through these difficult days. but the european country worst hit by cope with 19 is italy that's where we have now because almost 3 and a half 1000 people have now died from the virus there and infections in the country

have surged past 41000 the region of lombardy in the northern part of the country has been the hardest hit so many people have died here in recent days that cemeteries are no longer able to cope hospitals across italy are running out of space and doctors and nurses they say that they can't manage for much longer. pricing against time to provide more intensive care beds and growing the newly built columbus cova to unit is already taking patients and more dedicated hospitals on the way officials fear that die a situation in italy's north could soon start heading south. on says de italy's search pos china as the country with the most coronavirus did a milestone month with grim images of army trucks transporting coffins from the west hid region of lombardy as the death toll mounts those trying to help the

living a struggling to cope. were 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 one body there's a high level of contagion and we're not even counting the dead anymore. and the lockdown means patients are having to fight for their lives without emotional support his. greatest problem which is emerging these days i would say is that the patients can be visited by their relatives and often die on their own. with italy's corona crisis exploding china has sent medical teams and equipment to help but the chinese red cross says the hard won advice is not being hated here in the city of milan which is in the hardest hit 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 and hotels and you're not wearing masks. italian street empty but there's fear they'll soon be filled with more trucks carrying bodies. and let's get more now we're joined by sema gupta who joins us from rome and see what we just heard there criticism that people are not heeding the lockdown still people who are out and about does that appear to be true from where you're standing. well what we do understand is that there is a feeling as far as the officials are concerned that there are too many people out and about without a valid reason and you know you planning to abandon all outdoor activity there seem to many people taking the jogging and coming out into the street perhaps frustrated about being stuck indoors but they say you really need to take extra measures now because we're still nowhere near the peak of inspections

here it's only the heads of the civil protection services say that could be another week or perhaps even 2 weeks from now and so everybody needs to buckle down and stay at home now just on thursday alone there were $9600.00 violations of the lockdown they just missed precisely because of this that they're looking at putting in more stringent measures a school closure expected to be extended roll they've announced that they're going to crease the number of controls and they're also going to be roadblocks set up in the law we understand that a 114 soldiers have been put out to the streets there but the governor of the long but the region where everyone is located he says that's not enough it's nothing of what we need we definitely need a bowl in then until they're saying that if you're going to walk your dog you should be going more than 200 meters from your home so really they are trying to crack down people are frustrated but it's necessary to limit the spread of covert

19 and one thing as you know limiting the spread of the virus another is you know how are people getting by in this situation the italian prime minister today called on the european union tung leash the full firepower of its rescue fund for countries that are struggling such as italy is italy getting enough support from brussels and its european partners right now. well i think you know the italian economy which was a stagnant economy to begin with is going to suffer greatly as a result of this economic shutdown you know we are still much of night and while the priority is on the health of its citizens i think the prime minister has also of course got his eye on the economy and what's happened to people's livelihoods and that is why he say look at that 500000000000 rescue fund that you has now is the time to put it into action to help countries like italy that are suffering a but we need solidarity with the european union interesting to note that the

french economy minister himself said if you don't help it to be now if you abandon now the entire european project may not be revived and so it's essential to have one voice on this issue and to work together and shared submission as well on how to deal with coronavirus here in the european continent correspondent thema gupta in rome thank you. and in germany bavaria is leading federal states in tightening restrictions on people aimed to curb the spread of the coronavirus unlike other european countries germany has refrained from imposing a total locked out on its citizens the varian state premier markets that are stopped short of using the term lockdown in his speech today. up for a dark speech it's up for writers from friday this friday beginning tonight at midnight and for an initial period of 2 weeks there will be general restrictions on movement in the very house going special including. we're not closing the very year

off but we shutting down public life in bavaria for almost completely by 2 for the certainty. and meanwhile germany's disease control center says that the number of coronavirus cases has jumped again there are now 13957 people infected and 31 people have died as the country debates whether to impose a nationwide lockdown one city or the french quarter has gone ahead with stay at home orders empty streets aside feinberg will have to get used to after all florida keys announced a 2 week lockdown it was the 1st german city to order residents to stay at home but many are now asking themselves if the whole country could soon be stuck indoors including sarah and her friends who were out enjoying the sun together despite appeals not to as this was done best outcome of this is medically better so people don't get infected and the hospitals are already overstretched but it's hard to

imagine in a country with so many people like germany. for which they not thrilled absolutely not most of those gathering in the park know they shouldn't be but they find it hard to accept in this residential area nearby many are staying at home that it's hard. to get i'm not doing well i'm going to cry. on the money because i come see my children. for you since something you know is this and it's a real shame that we can't see our children and especially our grandchildren i don't believe in 100 union but we accept it we do what we're supposed to. do to bring our distance you know keeping distance brandenburg gate is pretty empty and those we spoke to expect a lock down it's come to 9 parts or be here in

a few days that's why right now. the town of heinz burg is a coronavirus hotspot in germany with already is there are appealing for a reason i love using high risk groups ourselves isolating they only go out to the doctor the others restrict their movement to a minimum efficiently drive to work for unbiased centrals. the threat of a lockdown is weighing on people's minds young who used to fly you had experience in the biggest loss of personal freedom since the 2nd world war 2 weeks ago there were soccer matches with 50000 fans it's not easy to change so radically from one day to the next the government is trying appeals if they don't work bans on going out will follow the mood when you find bog has taken that decision the lockdown goes into force on saturday. and let's have

a look now at some other khurana related developments around the world the governor of new york state has ordered all workers and non-essential businesses to stay at home and band gathering state wide new york state has 7000 confirmed covert 1000 cases by far the most of any state in the united states ukraine expects to receive 10000000 coronavirus tests from china in the next few days the shipment will also include masks disinfectants and ventilators and hard hit iran has appealed for international pressure to bring an immediate end to u.s. sanctions so that it can import medicine and equipment desperately needed to fight the pandemic. as covert 19 continues to impact the world we wanted to explore the science behind the spread what makes it so contagious and what exactly happens during an infection our science team took a look at how the process works. several 1000 species of viruses have been classified so far but researchers believe millions more are left

to be discovered only a tiny fraction just a few 100 cause disease in humans and many of these infectious pathogens including the one that causes coded 19 are transmitted via droplets when someone who's in fact it coughs or sneezes a virus is a little more than a collection of genetic information protected by a protein coat it's not viewed as a full fledged form of life because unlike lifeforms it doesn't make its own energy it has to steal energy to make more of itself to replicate a coronavirus has to invade living cells like those in the long of a human being 1st viruses like sars cove to dunk on specific receptors on the cells outer membrane once attached they can either be absorbed entirely by the cell or inject their genetic sequence into its interior the cellular machinery is then hijacked to churn out more viral envelopes and sequences when assembled the new

viruses then burst out of the infected cell to infect others usually killing the host cell in the process pretty nasty virus there let's bring in data via science correspondent eric williams he put that explanation together for us he joins us now derek what are researchers talking about at the mall at. well on the prevention and treatment side of things there's been some talk about an attempt to develop a vaccine that oxford in the u.k. the researchers there are 7 if all goes well they could have a viable candidate in production by the end of this year that's a very optimistic forecast pretty much every other expert continues to say we won't be saying about same for at least another 18 months there's also been it's a spike in excitement about possibly treating the diseased with an approved n.t. model a really on medication a large studio large scale study of that going on in the us this week but with

treatment still somewhere down the line a lot of the focus at the moment is on measures that various company comes countries are implementing to try to contain coronavirus spread and to what extent those measures could impact on what's called herd immunity tell us a little bit more about herd immunity to erika's those that word and also controlled herd immunity has been coming up a lot lately what does it mean. well herd immunity describes a situation where sir many people in a population are immune to an infection that it can effectively stop it as years from spreading so in an outbreak there are 2 different ways that people can gain immunity i know they can catch the disease and build up an immune response that will prevent them from being infected by the same bug in the future or they can receive a vaccine that fools the body into responding as though it caught the disease even though it didn't so for the purposes of herd immunity it doesn't really matter which of those 2 ways they develop an immune response what's important is that as

the number of people who are immune to the rises in the population it begins to spread more slowly so imagine a situation where at the beginning of an outbreak no one is immune and an infected person gives it to other people but once 50 percent of the population has acquired immunity an infected person can only give it to one other person rather than 2 that's because the other one that they would have given it to is protected they already have immunity so rising immunity in the herd society as a whole act as a brake on the spread of the disease there's there's been a lot of discussion and and britain and the netherlands in particular about trying to reach herd immunity quickly in a controlled way right now we know that seem there's only one way to do it and that's to accept that that large numbers of people will get set quickly and that they'll get over it so their immunity would then help protect the rest of the population but in general controlled herd immunity that approach can it work i mean

what are the experts saying in the context specific lee of coronavirus right now. well most of you have been to me i was just been talking to and following say that it's an interesting idea for an experimental setting but more or less all agree that trying to implement some kind of controlled herd immunity in this really rapidly evolving scenario is it creates for a couple of different reasons 1st because we know little about immunity to that iris or really or how long it lasts i mean we assume that there is going to be an immune effect of some kind after someone gets over a covert $1000.00 but we still don't know much about that or or how long it will potentially last a while and if i was to spread when you don't know whether a people could quickly get it a 2nd time is a huge risk there's also the question of how actually controlled it would all remain near the whole point behind social distancing measures is to slow the spread of the disease to flatten the current so you have medicines and vaccines and a certain unity can also be reached that seems and they don't kill people you know

if you allow people to catch them iris even in a controlled setting and some of them are going to die so for the moment lockdowns and social distancing until we have medications and about seeing are the better choice and eric williams is science correspondent thank you derek. and germany the far right party says that it is expecting a faction to dissolve itself after authorities classified it as extremist and put it under formal surveillance let's hear what the head of germany's domestic intelligence service has to say about that decision so i'm for it for a complete and comprehensive picture of the extremist right wing seen in germany we have to include the racist education hate and smear campaigns being used by political parties represented in parliament. and chief political editor mahela is on the story for us mchale of the leadership of the f.t. is calling for the desa lucian of this we group how important is that

well it's could be a key moment in the history of this party it's already lost to previous leaders among them the found look over that very issue of how far right into the bright winning stream is field it wants to go and what seems to be happening here is that there is once again high noon that the party leadership has decided that the wing the right wing extremist wing has to decide to dissolve itself or else it should be put under pressure to essentially leave the party so this is a very high risk approached because after all the far right extremist wing of this informal group has particularly a lot of traction in the eastern states here in germany so it's also a struggle east against the west to

a certain degree and it must be said i mean this is the largest opposition party in the german parliament all of this infighting that we're seeing what does it mean for the broader the overall political picture in the country. it means that the far right if the party this largest opposition past me is afraid that it could be inflamed by what is not seen as a separate group the wing being observed by all thora t's being seen as against the liberal democratic order here in germany and it doesn't want to be brought down by those concerns and particularly by voters and members fleeing from the prospect of being seen as supporting not just something extreme missed but something that would prevent for instance civil service servants from continuing within their jobs for the government that would no longer be mainstream conservatism and that's exactly

what the far right if he says it stands for. political editor may have the corner thank you. 4 men have been executed for a brutal gang rape and murder that made international headlines and sparked a massive protest in india the men were hanged at dawn in a delhi prison after the indian supreme court upheld their death sentences it's been more than 7 years since they attacked a 23 year old student on the bus in the city setting off a nationwide outcry about violence against women the victims died is the victim died excuse me of her injuries after being tortured during this attack and corresponded to me should reports. while the calls for the exit you should off the man convicted of the 2012 deadly gang rape have been rife spread that happen weiss says of criticism as about women's rights activists and lawyers have pointed out that capital punishment cannot be seen as a one stop solution to address sexual violence in india the fact that such

a highly publicized case took 7 years to come to its conclusion points out the problems with india's judicial system which is not taught us the shortstop that has a backlog of decades in addition activists we give that the government must now invest in long term solutions that lead to behavior change and address the patriarchy that is inherent in the country and leaves to such incidences off sexual violence the laws around sexual assault while made more strict in the aftermath all of this due to the incident bot he and his crimes similar to this one continue to be reported in the 7 years since and this indicates that the approach for addressing sexual violence in india must be why it didn't actually address the problem. and that was our correspondents in the wall there in delhi well with concerts around the world scrapped for many months to come many artists are taking to the internet to host free concerts for their fans a special series has been initiated by global citizen and the world health
