this is news life from birth india's population of 1300000000 begins a 3 week lockdown to combat the coronavirus the streets of the capital delhi are deserted as people stay behind closed doors prime minister narendra modi warns that without the lockdown the country could be set back 20 years also on the program i blew me outlook from german industry your report says the fall in expectations for much manufacturing prompted by the corona virus is the single worst drop in 70 years of industry so.

i'm feel girl welcome to the program india has become the latest and largest country to introduce a nationwide lockdown in the fight against the corona virus the country has so far seen about 560 confirmed cases and 11 deaths but there are fears that infections could spread quickly crowds for but pharmacies and shops shortly before midnight deadline on essential businesses have been closed or most flights and rail services have been stopped and the busy bollywood film industry has ground to a halt indian prime minister narendra modi said that without this 21 day lockdown the country could be set back by 21 years. so let's join correspondent nimish it jives well in delhi welcome the nation are people biting by these new restrictions . well to a large extent yes people have not been coming out on the streets as much as they

would have the sunday one people if you will is hugely successful with reports of millions it's not quite as same done streets right now because people are not allowed to step out to get essential services political the checkpoints across the city even up to bending people to one not going to changing not accessing essential services from stepping out however it is also important to think about the fact that there are many amongst the open people it was actually trying to get back home not consulate so this is the last you shut down boston has changed as well as a place called imo many are still trying to meet their ways back to them because their daily lives on earth and it cannot sustain themselves they're going to florida life in the city anymore and we went to find out how exactly these people are managing walking lost uncertain distances in that enclosed to get even the water is actually through the roof what.

these people are while eating a lockdown deady has closed its borders nor buses trains all flights can leave yet these migrant workers are determined to get home. any on just a day village. and with businesses shut big 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 little die 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 although the . delhi government has announced some relief measures for the poor but these workers don't feel reassured or in tempers like that 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. ovi 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 says city as a sign that ties in your hands before entering. india has been bad in the eyes by these measures but health experts are throwing their weight behind the locked down if india can fight this together for 2 weeks we definitely would have prevented the go to prom going up and made it all that we need to do is to prevent that 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 the slow down. image of the poor always suffer worst in these crises tell us more about how the government is trying to help these migrant workers. well the government has claimed an economic cost for the finance minister that it had to find out exactly what would be did best move forward to address the economic crisis that a short of the satisfactory answers aren't off the stock down just yet to be something he actually and this being measured for an ounce in addition the government has asked on t.v. then fine then add my bank account instruction book that's one of them me in particular ends of the d.d.

regional class but they're not the one device and what happens we can see how exactly because i'm disappointed in showing that in the midst of conduct i'll be sure it's going to make me out in a shock if these d.d. woke us and poorest of the what in the country are continuing to get me as i thought he was joining us not them thanks for that new message as well in delhi. to the united states where lawmakers have now agreed a 2 trillion dollar stimulus package for democrats and republicans at arms that they will shortly after midnight in washington among the items agreed adults could receive direct deposits of up to 1200 dollars 500 dollars for children the government will support small businesses with loans to the tune of $367000000000.00 and hospitals would receive around $150000000000.00 in aid and also likely be half a trillion dollars in guaranteed subsidize learns to larger businesses. a new report by german easy for the institute for economic research shows that sentiment

among german companies has worsened dramatically the institute says the outlook for manufacturing services construction and trade has collapsed describing the form expectations for manufacturing in particular as the single worst drop in 17 years of industry surveys. business climate index is based on 7000 monthly reports from across german industries. well the evo institute's president is clement's of welcome to d w one of the biggest problems facing companies in these troubled times the key difficulty is that we are shutting down the economy or at least parts of the economy and that means companies don't get intermediate products they need they have to shut down part of their production because they are worried about the spread of the epidemic so this is a difference to other crisis like the financial crisis where the problem was just

the lack of money and now here we are shutting down the real economy that is something without precedent at least in the last decades and that's very difficult to address and this is across the board or are there certain sectors that have been particularly hard hit. this is not entirely across the board for instance in construction things are still better although construction companies also tell us that the prospects for the coming weeks are bad but a lot of work in construction is going on outside and they are the action risk seems to be smaller but otherwise it's really it's across the board the big manufacturing companies the big companies in the car industry for instance have a stop their production and that means are all smaller companies working with them supplying them have difficulties. in common with other governments germany has announced plans to support businesses and the economy from what you've seen will

this be enough. it will certainly be very helpful and necessary will it be enough we don't know the trouble is all these packages can do including including the us package is with the side effects of the shutdown it cannot avoid the shutdown and that means after the shutdown even if it comes relatively quickly a companies will have a lot of debt people will have a lot of so this is difficult to address still it is good that governments it's very important to help people affected by the downturn but these this stimulus pre-print these stimulus programs cannot stop the crisis if everybody has that i'm looking down to the far side of this once we once we get out of it if everyone has debt then every if everyone's in the same boat still businesses then they are likely to bounce back quicker. i mean so every creditor every debtor has

a credit. so it's not the case and everybody can have that now that the difficulty is that companies will have a lot of the government will be very indebted and the credit creditors will probably be relatively small group of people or institutions overall or we are poor or the economy is poorer after this downturn and that will make the recovery difficult and so how does this compare with the 2008 crash well it looks like this is going to be a lot worse simply because in the 2008 crash which was bad enough it was sufficient to come up with a lot of money to pump money in the economy and. help the financial sector at this time we have a problem in the real economy we are stopping the economy and the only thing that can help is reconcile the ending of the shutdown and the fight

against the epidemic this is this is that what we have to do and this is very difficult for a number of reasons so i that's why i think this crisis is a lot worse than the financial crisis will thank you for joining us sir clements foose from the ether institute thank you take a look now at some more of the latest developments in the corona virus pandemic it's just been announced that prince charles after the british throne has tested positive for human palace says he has mild symptoms and that the queen elizabeth remains in good health spain has seen another surge in its death toll with more than 3400 deaths it's now passed to china in the number of coronavirus fatalities and the 2nd only to italy and the russian president vladimir putin is due to give his 1st address on the crisis in the next few. football during the coronavirus pandemic is hitting fans hard but clubs are also counter the cost lack of match day

revenue has left many in the lower leagues in fear of going bust even the big teams in germany factories and players there are volunteering to give up some of their salaries to help clubs out until games get going again. empty stadiums across germany's bonders league are the coronavirus is having an unprecedented impact on football and football finances. now as some of the game's top players have decided to give up a portion of their multi-million salaries to help their clubs brucia dortmund of announced players management and coaches waving a double digit 1000000 amount in wages chief executive hans joachim vazquez said it is a valuable sign of solidarity both to the outside world and to our $850.00 employees media reports say players an overabundance league of clubs such as by and munich and by leverkusen making similar gestures.

it's all about helping people. making donations where appropriate. it's about helping people who are struggling financially because of this situation . for example the security guy who works at the stadium and works on match days maybe now doesn't have a job. it's not just in the bunkers league or with spain badly hit by the coronavirus pandemic barcelona forward linnell messi has donated a combined 1000000 euros to a clinic in the city and to a hospital back in his native argentina. manchester city coach pet wadi all or has donated the same amount to supply medical equipment in his home city of barcelona. leagues have no idea when they might resume the boners league or expects no football action before april 30 and officials know it may take

a lot longer but the players are at least doing their bit off the pitch. don't forget you can always get the w. news on the go just download out from google play off of the ups store i'll give you access to all the latest news from around the world as well as push notifications for any breaking news who's who part of a news story you can also use it to send us photos and videos of lot. as ever their self full coverage of the coronavirus on our website d w dot com we'll have more at the top of it have a good. 4th . or.

corona crisis you can find more information online at d w dot com don t w social media titles. this is due to covert 1900 special from berlin the coronavirus has forced millions of people into quarantine and isolation that means millions of people are working from home some for the 1st time we take a look at how people cope with working from home and we ask an expert how the crisis might change how we work for good. i'm seeing you so much going to thank you for joining us people all over the world are working from home that includes many of my colleagues here at the w.

our reporter chiodos us sent us a report from her apartment in berlin where she set up her temporary office and she has some tips on how to make it work. now. whatever the task should be doing this right now here are. on how to actually go from her. no was easy to pick up shall i put some actual quotes of. all of this to your great time. this may sound super off here but i haven't gotten my microsoft teams to work entire. right from my mistakes missed sure everything works before you have to think. i know it's super tempting but

it's a separate clean quiet what space away from its tracks. are now it's easy for me to say because i don't have kids my only distraction is my favorite t.v. isn't even good on the fridge and the laundry and the dishes and the books. to get my point. yes that means you might have to look presentable. looking for truth to face is the best way to feel this alive. and happy hour campaign gradual shoot. sleep while using the commuting their self and yummy luck to. finally blackout if they feel you think well we. just hope that your top of those of us who are

privileged enough to go on money and do so on the thinking of our. we should make them. so. let's speak now to norbert to crow now he's a researcher from the university of potsdam studying how people work from home number thank you for joining us 1st of all what do you think of those tips you know don't work from bad stay in touch on video conference you have anything to add there. yeah this is not only an advantage but it might also be acquired to use does a box just because all travel times are no go on and immediately be replaced by another you know conference not to talk of rest and to not call this all the work and density it is that's why science on it is much higher and you get all this work where you have to walk from one meeting room to a not knowing where you can warp to the contrary are or have

a brick. wall to cool all the coffee machine that's all no longer possible all right so you also have oil so you might have more time a clock then you're saying i mean looking at the fact that millions of people are now in their home offices essentially what if you found i mean how does this change the way we work how we more productive are we less productive at home. well in some cases in 2 paths in some cases we don't walk productive because now we can't exactly see what the other colleague was talking about because we have power point slides crystal clear all because you know it's crystal clear on the screen not 8 meters away and got going to room and that's an advantage but on the other hand what we are focusing on in our research is that creative and knowledge intensive process is in it is a business they need the new ness of people that can work in the same manner are

online and in digital the meeting rooms and therefore we are missing something so we do it to the day we had with my research us virtual lunch break where everybody said in front of his camera and eat something and trying something and that's not the same you cannot achieve the knowledge transfer between video screens you need the near miss off persons and write in some on the notion test processes we have 75 percent of knowledge transfer out i socialise ation i personally between between persons and not you know what all of this is all for how do you think this will fundamentally change the way that we work will more people stay with working from home permanently. i don't think so i think some tasks can be done remotely and some other tasks will need

a personal meeting and it will be resumed in full when we are able to travel again i think that won't change a lot right now about all your point in this interface ok we'll have to leave it there in our break right now from the university of potsdam thank you so much for joining us. and we will be following this story closely at g.w. our social media editors will be reporting weekly and we want to know how you are coping with working from home we're all new to this crazy mind boggling situation spiders these are not influenza we are uncharted territory all life as we know it is changing. but we're all in this together in this new series we want to find out how to handle

on new lives in times of the corona pandemic thankfully with the help of a leading expert it seems like there's been a very popular study how do we stay mentally and physically healthy how do we have no family at all popular without driving into a completely insane. bust up how to deal with cabin fever. how are you dealing with being cooped up let me know leave a comment and i would love to profit from your experiences for our upcoming episode . well we asked you to send us some of your questions on the kobe 1000 pandemic and many of you did get in touch our science correspondent dirk williams has some answers take a look. why did you come from. to the best of our knowledge the 1st cases of covert 19 appeared in the chinese city of

rouhani back in december of 2019 they were closely associated with a wildlife market they are now coronaviruses can jump from animals to humans and we think that that's what happened here the sars virus did the same back in 2000 here in 2003 it was traced back to bats the civets sold in wildlife markets we don't yet know what animals might have acted as intermediaries here but we have seen very similar coronaviruses and bats and we think that they are the ultimate reservoir in the wild. how does it spread. that 19 is a pretty infectious respiratory disease that spread by droplets of saliva or discharge from the nurse someone when they cough or sneeze that's why it's important to stay at least a metre away and preferably farther from anyone who's coughing or sneezing it

doesn't stay airborne for very long we don't think but it can remain infectious after landing on surfaces which is why you also need to pay attention to how often you wash your hands and you should try not to touch your face as much as possible. how do i know if i'm if i get it. we only way to know for sure if you have copd at 19 is to take a test because many of the symptoms are similar to those people experience when they have other respiratory ailments like the flu in covert 19 the primary symptoms that people have reported are fever dry cough and fatigue and then to a lesser extent things like congestion a sore throat or diarrhea some people who catch the disease don't have any symptoms at all their ace. symptomatic around 4 in 5 people who get it will recover from the disease without any special treatment or having to go to the hospital. what can i

do if i'm in fact it. because this virus isn't novel one in humans no one has any immunity the 1st time they catch it even if someone doesn't show any symptoms they still go in fact it can in fact others we don't yet have any specific vaccines to prevent covert 19 and we don't have any medications to treat it so at this point if you are infected there's no way to interrupt the course of the disease the best thing to do if you're infected is a talk with your local medical authorities and follow their advice if you aren't in a high risk group for the disease the chances are very good you'll return to full health within a couple of weeks. if i thought it was going i catch it again in the future. because this is a new virus we still don't know much about how the immune system well reacts to subsequent infections with copd at 19. doctors assume that catching it will give

you some kind of immunity but a big question is exactly how long that immunity well last hour immunity levels to related coronaviruses like some that cause common colds are not permanent and we don't really know why the question of immunity is a question that really only time will answer. a news team that the austrian public broadcaster o. r. f. will go into voluntary isolation to prevent any of them from becoming infected now they'll be isolated on site in vienna they've all tested negative for the virus and no one will be allowed in the door will be guarded and food will be delivered these 180 employees will guarantee that new services continue to run on the interrupted oh r.f. is not the only austrian company to seal off key chains of staff last week around 50 healthy employees from the main energy company were isolated within certain

power stations to make sure that the electricity supply would not be affected. thank you for joining our covert 900. s. always you can get the latest on our website you give me dot com for all of us here in berlin thank you for watching. the markets. were. made in germany.
