i. tobin's 9th. for the world starts on t.w. . for so long down the people are finding it hard to stay in especially those who are most at risk. also coming up the growing virus crisis deepens in the united states president donald trump passed away from

a controversial idea to 14 in new york and its neighboring states where the infection rate has so. bust thank you for your cooperation that's the message from chancellor angela merkel as she asks the german public to stay patient saying restrictions on public life will continue for at least 3 more weeks. i'm calling aspen thanks for joining us the coronavirus is reaching across the globe and just starting to spread more rapidly now across africa with more than 1000 and factions south africa is the worst hit nation on the continent the country has just begun the us 3 week national lockdown and local authorities are taking a hard line in forcing it or i don't know modern the army is out on the streets here in one of johannesburg's poor neighborhoods it's trying to enforce what seems

difficult for many staying at home for the lead while about family lockdown means 6 people sharing 12 square meters. normally only happens at night when they sleep and they have no running water they have to collect it themselves from a tap a kilometer away. social distancing doesn't really work here but it's badly needed millions suffer from tuberculosis and aids and at particular risk as that. we have no choice we have to come to this place to get water and to go to the toilet. the main roads are almost empty this is one of the strictest lockdowns in the world only those in essential services such as hospitals are allowed to go to work food shopping is allowed but the queues are often long and few here keep their distance. i know that i can't go to work and that worries me i don't

know if my employer will still need me after the lockdown is over. the standstill will likely ruin many businesses in south africa but fear of the uncontrolled spread of the virus is even greater because it could spell the collapse of the country's already stretched health service let's bring in d.w. correspondent adrian creations in cape town adrian this is day 3 of a 21 day long down already we are seeing soldiers in the streets i mean just just walk us through the challenges that south africa will be facing to get people to follow these sorts of public health measures. of course it's a very challenging time for south africans the measures extremely strict you're not allowed to walk in other allowed to go out for jogging you can't even walk your dog so this is of course something people 1st have to get used to this people who are still allowed to go out those ones who work in essential services supermarket

workers for example people working in hospitals and you can see a little bit of movement behind me on the street at the moment this is because this time windows during the day where these people are allowed to go to work and they often however rely on public transport and i talked to some yesterday and they told me well it is really difficult for them because not many many buses operate anymore and those that operate are totally overcrowded which is of course a problem if you're actually trying to make distance between people and try to stop the spread of the virus as we saw in that report i mean it's most difficult in the poorest areas i mean some people don't have running water just talk about the risks that people face. cape town and also in south africa this is of course the major challenge in the township where millions of south africans are living under very difficult conditions often in crowded spaces in checks and the big question is how long can they release day how long are they going to be patient right now the lockdown is scheduled to last 3 weeks but the hope of experts here is that after 2

weeks we will see a decrease in the new infections but this is not guaranteed we have no idea if this will really work out and there is some speculation already if the curfew and the lockdown might be even extended and then people of course fearing how will people there react how patient can they be in this very trying times remember many of them don't have a fixed salary they have to go out and money to survive so this is the big question here how is that going to continue how is that going to unfold all right adrian create reporting for us in cape town thank you very much. now let's take a look now at the latest developments in the corona virus pandemic more than 30000 people worldwide have now died from the virus with the global number of infections exceeding 660000 italy's death toll from coven 19 climbing past 10000 with 889 new reported deaths the 2nd highest daily tally there pakistan

infections and deaths in the u.s. which is now more than 2000 and climbing the region saw another jumping coronavirus fatalities on saturday infections are also surging giving other u.s. states a glimpse of the health care struggles that could be coming their way desperately needed help about to head from virginia to virus struck new york president domo trump was set to see off to 1200 medical personnel today i am here to express right profound gratitude to the dedicated service members who are soon to be on the front lines of this fight. but for those on the front line and one of the hardest hit areas in the u.s. that help can't come soon enough. respecting the rules on keeping their distance health because at this hospital protested overwhelming working conditions they say

a shortage of protective equipment is putting lives at risk they warn other hospitals across the u.s. could face similar conditions soon a fear echoed by new york state governor. we have been behind this virus from day one we have been in a reactive posture from day one the virus makes another move and then we respond no you don't win on dot difference you win on our friends you have to get ahead of this it dissipate what's going to happen since new york residents were told to stay home almost a week ago the city's resembled a ghost town but new infections and deaths keep surging the hope now that monday's arrival of the u.s. navy ship will give new york's struggling health system a fighting chance in the battle against kovac 19. well young people they may face

contact allowing those most vulnerable to stay at home and themselves to feel a little less helpless in these times i mean. to contain the spread of coronavirus it is these young men and women who are leading from the front line. stations very young men and women who are also fighting i do classes to the young and the old and also encouraging them to socially however that is one of the biggest challenges here in what has been called the world's largest lock down about 1300000000 indians have been after they inside the home for 21 since movement is restricted during a lockdown at some local community level young people are using force to coordinate efforts to ensure that the elderly people of their communities continue getting their essentials of life the party is seriously over. the pubs and clubs are sought and when young people still kept gathering in parks for so-called corona parties

rules on saturday and most people complied with the regulations. that being said we're already noticing the topic is becoming an emotional one for many with beginning to see the 1st acts of civil disobedience and resistance offices where yesterday. members of the public who claim to be infected. these remain isolated incidents. continue to show understanding and act responsibly. issued more than 40. 130 infringement notices on friday evening mostly due to members of the public floating the new laws that have been put in place to control the outbreak experts are warning against relaxing these regulations. this is definitely not the time to be discussing something of that nature. right now where we can experience the 1st wave of infection it would be ludicrous to
