this is news life from berlin new cases of covert 19 in new york skyrocket the world health organization expects the u.s. to become the new at the center of the 10 demick as every citizen leaving new york city has asked himself quarantine. in indiana unprecedented 3 week lockdown goes into effect 1300000000 people have to know order to stay home to slow the spread of covert 90.

i'm merely phenomenon thanks for joining the coven 900 break in new york is so severe that white house officials have called on anyone who has left the city to south quarantined for 2 weeks highways and streets are largely empty in one of the most densely populated cities in the u.s. the entire state of new york has been on lockdown since sunday public health officials say the number of cases there is doubling every 3 days state officials have been pleading for more federal help as confirmed cases top 25000 deaths surpass 200 is just one sign of the worsening situation in the united states. and for more on that we can all talk to our washington correspondent all of us salads. w h o on tuesday one that the u.s. could be the next at the center of the corona virus and new york has been hit especially hard what can you tell us about the situation there. that's

a very alarming situation leonean that reflects very much the assessment of the w.h.o. and that is that the u.s. has not been able to flatten the curve that the number of new infections has been going up dramatically in recent days we've been reporting extensively about that and with regard to new york city 60 percent of all new cases in the u.s. are counted in new york city the city is under lockdown as of sunday but in spite of that there is no improvement inside really governor andrew cuomo who's becoming famous for his press conference that he's holding every day believes that within the next 2 weeks he's expecting 40000 patients needing intensive care and he's desperately looking for $40000.00 ventilators for that matter also the clinics the hospitals the health care system running out of supplies as soon as next week so dramatic situation in new york city of course and therefore the w.h.o.

statement is not a big surprise here in spite of that president trump continues to don't play the risk that the virus poses for the american public yeah you might just mention it donald trump expressed his hope to reopen the country by easter that's in less than 3 weeks how serious is he about that. well look at trump has always been a gambler and he still is and what he's really trying to do here is to save the u.s. economy and that's crucial for him to be reelected because you know very well that if you keep that locked down in place and there's currently a stay at home order in 16 u.s. states in place then that would mean that the unemployment will continue to go up the stock markets will go down further and he might eventually lose his reelection in november soulforce with all those gambles comes risk and that is that the health system in the united states might crash eventually if the numbers of new infections

continue to go up as quickly as they've been doing but again for trump the economy is crucial therefore today at a press conference in the white tells one of the a white house economic advisers on veiled plans that the government would provide a total of 6 trillion u.s. dollars in financial aid which of course is an on president and some showing the trump is trying to save the economy at all cost but he's also willing to take an enormous risk for that. that was all about solid reporting from washington thank you so much the 2020 took you some of them picks has been postponed on tuesday japanese prime minister shinzo abby announced that the games will be 1st back in 22021 the decision photos months of discussion and pressure from mass needs across the globe. the turkey and then picks our own. the decision came suddenly but was not unexpected after weeks of debate and speculation in order to safeguard

qualification. on the station olympic trials and so on and a lot of our folks also don't have access to the training venue. and it's not fair if everyone. prepared the best way this is the 1st time the olympic games have been perspire and and it's a mammoth logistical task contracts need to be renegotiated tickets for sold out venues transferred all returned and post-game sales of apartments in the olympic village will have to be put on hold. no new date has been set for the tokyo olympics. in india 3 week lockdown to combat the spread of coronaviruses just begun the country's 1300000000 people are now barred from leaving their homes across the nation people have been scrambling to get home ahead of the measures taking effect the travel restrictions hit some of the country's poorest workers the w's. reports from the capital delhi.

these people are while eating a lockdown delhi has closed its borders nor buses trains off lights can leave yet these migrant workers are determined to get home. many on just a daily wage and with businesses shut they cannot afford life in the city anymore. with public transport reduced the vote has walked many kilometers with his family putting them at risk of exposure. he's scared but he says he has no option on those they aren't letting me work that's the problem i have young children they're hungry who do i ask for help we've been struggling for 4 days though the. delhi government has announced some relief measures for the poor but these workers don't feel reassured. i cannot wait to find out if the government will give me money but how

am i supposed to eat until then and what if they don't. away from the bus stop the city lies deserted those who can't afford to are staying home checkpoints like this one have been established across the city the police is ensuring that only those who are entering essential services are allowed to be out the government has also said that violators off the log down can face legal action. grocery stores remain open some are only allowing a limited number of shoppers in this one says mosques on the subsidy as a sign that ties in your hands before entering. india has been by these measures but health experts are throwing their weight behind the lock down if india can fight this too good for 2 weeks we definitely would have prevented the good from going up and made it all that we need to do is to prevent that god from going it

leaving because if that happens in india the results will be much worse than what happened in. the indian prime minister has appealed to migrant workers to stay put and avoid infecting their families back home. but for many that risk is far more distant than being trapped of the from home during this lockdown. and for more on this we're joined by the also of that report new research as well from our daily office the mission of the nation why lockdown has just begun is there any hope these migrant workers you talk to are not going to be victims of it. well larry king's realistically do look a bit bleak great now the prime minister did announce an economic dost thou dost add a national level led by the finance minister which is supposed to announce to you all measures just yesterday that they did announced this in measures but ask a lot of that but when it comes to reaching out to the people hardest hit by this

shutdown it's we don't really have to add to yet this did you hear what exactly the national government will do steve governments have announced measures but as mentioned in the report many well there's a concern that if they really do find out how these measures can reach them if they would reach them or not it would be dually they cannot afford to react to find out exactly how they can benefit from these measures so we really have to read and see how exactly the government lasted each out to the wouldst what in these of in space is what also continuing a lot on which is why is everybody to stay indoors so how other people dealing with a lockdown. lockdown was already in place in some cities and states across the country starting sunday night it was actually acme. dismounting basically that they locked arms and forced across the country so while people are largely it's responding to the lockdown they have stayed in battle

because of cause of the prime minister but many estimate on how to get a real essential services that also concerns that the police is being too harsh he went on essential services and it's this knocked down so people are taking this into their stride somewhat but it's still early days of evil again after we have to see how well they continue inviting but this in the b.s. to come that is definitely months headaches whatsoever that this is the right step for any entity and we mean just to have some success in flattening the code and it has as well from a delhi office thank you. in spain the government is expected to extend the state of emergency by 2 weeks the number of new corona virus cases jumped by some 6600 overnight was more than 500 reported to have died pictures taken at a hospital in madrid show patients lying attended in a corridor or the spanish capital has been particularly affected with nearly 10000 cases in ice rink inside a shopping mall in madrid has been turned into
