and hungary's prime minister wants an open ended extensions whom urgency measures in the battle against the pandemic but critics are calling it the power grab. i'm called aspen thanks for joining us as more and more countries imposed lockdowns over the coronavirus india faces a larger challenge than most it's 1300000000 people have been ordered to stay at home since last week but for the informal workers who form the backbone of the economy this means losing their income practically overnight leaving many without enough money for food and those hardest hit by the lockdown right now also be most at risk of catching the virus. social distancing is a privilege that these people cannot afford all across india daily bruce rushed to

transportation hubs carrying whatever they could. to nationwide lockdown has put millions out of work and started a mass exodus from the city's. for these people who are leaving new delhi for their hometowns the fear of starving this currently greater than the fear of infection with the coronavirus. if we had food why would we have left we're not enjoying this we know that a pandemic is spreading but we're forced to leave we're taking precautions and keeping as much distance as we can i don't know what you mean if the government did nothing otherwise we wouldn't have left. india's efforts to contain the corona virus has plunged the country into chaos. after transportation was shut down some state governments arranged buses to bring migrant workers back to their home villages. but in other states people were left stranded and forced to walk hundreds

of kilometers home. deliveries street vendors and other informal workers form the backbone of the indian economy. with police chasing them off the streets and no savings to fall back on the luck zone puts many of them at risk prime minister narendra modi who had ordered india's 1300000000 people to stay home has apologized for the hardships they are now facing. especially when i look at my poor brothers and sisters i think they must be wondering what kind of prime minister i am put people in such a difficult situation. especially ask for their forgiveness. so far roughly 1000 people of india have tested positive for corona virus but experts worry numbers could be much higher. fears are that an outbreak in one of the world's most densely populated countries could result in a catastrophe. let's bring in correspondent. in delhi for us

just looking at those images all these people on the move only 4 hours notice given for this law down does it seem that modi and his government were unprepared for this pandemic. you know well the government is being appreciated from certain sectors of bringing about this long down at an early stage but there are critics and that is all position which are criticizing the government yes saying that these measures should have been taken much earlier like in the middle of february and guess the fact that the log on with announcement just 4 out of notice is being criticized and the critics are saying this 21 they logged on as gomen trying to ramp up its population in times of. making a whether the went to sleep in the best think it's the critics are saying this 21 day log down as the government buying trying to ramp up its preparation let's talk about those day laborers that we're seeing those images of i mean it seems like an impossible situation for them right there trying to make it home but of course they

risk spreading the virus if they do if they stay there's no guarantee of a job or even a food right yes as i said the. decisive for announcing this lockdown without giving reassurances to people that they will be looked after india in an economy consists of a lot sector of info economy and the housing thousands of my gun workers who. cross borders everything the 2 biggest cities and learn so it's well livelihood they suddenly found themselves out of miami wood overnight they have been heard saying that they don't want to take on a false and dial salvation they have a family to call still and they're going back to their villages and that sounds indian sounding to be in a local good condition so yes a bit alive you would have been affected but vive it is also a danger all for diseases all vitus's that they may be getting back to this song

towns and villages and getting back to their families and a dozen in the health care system is not good the number of course for those are those number of doctors are less so it looks like this is the kind of community chaunce mission that we all have been what about and it's me actually need to be good i'll break this exodus like this come to me with this what are the chances about what the public health officials been saying about that about the current situation there with so many people potentially moving into the countryside something similar that we saw happening in china earlier in this outbreak when you know it's important to also remember that people pollution density in india is crisis as high as that of china so the danger is probably good here because as we saw the images that are causing the workers who are walking and queuing up in bus stations to go back to the homes to go back to their villages and as i said the student has can't shut up so it is not that well developed and finally that is the

quote with 19004 switch test out in admitting that india is going into the community transmission but as i said when it comes to your numbers if the festing case and then to meet has the us to falling behind the mac number ok man you're a child are you warning for us from delhi on the situation there thank you very much. ok a look now at some other coronavirus developments around the world the u.s. government's top infectious disease expert is warning the covert 1000 operate could kill up 220-0000 americans according to dr anthony found he also said that millions could become infected the south korean government will provide emergency cash payments to 70 percent of households to help cope with the economic impact after a spike of infections in japan the asahi newspaper reports authorities will start banning foreign travelers from the u.s. china south korea and most of europe and the price of oil now down to $23.00 per barrel that's the lowest price since 2002 it's due to plummeting demands due to the

global economic slowdown well around the world the mantra is now social distancing but in greece's overcrowded refugee camps like moria on the island of lesbos that's not so easy they were already facing dire sanitary conditions even before the corona virus outbreak began many migrants stuck there also have preexisting health problems aid organizations are now calling for the most vulnerable residents to be evacuated in order to prevent a humanitarian catastrophe. in the maria refugee camp very few have been able to get a mask to protect against coronavirus there are more than 20000 people living here in dire conditions lack of food washing areas and medicine are the norm i present you think there is a lot of disease here people are sick they have fevers and skin conditions like scabious and life they cough and have breathing problems like asthma officially

there are no covert 19 cases here but also no government plan to prevent them says doctors without borders such a scenario would be a disaster for everyone unless both refugees and residents alike. everybody is going. to. pull. the one. before the pandemic germany had agreed to accept unaccompanied minors that's off the table now an effort to avoid bringing in outsiders from at risk groups opposition parties have criticised a lack of political will to end the humanitarian crisis. many politicians say we don't want a repeat of 2000 to 15 but we're not talking about millions of people here just a few tens of thousands if you're really serious and want to do everything possible

to prevent a further outbreak but then we have to evacuate these camps you can't even if you. camp intended for 3000 people housing 20000 that makes social distancing here close to impossible. here's a look now at some other stories making news at this hour the spanish coast guard has rescued over 70 migrants and sr the canary islands the migrants were brought to the port in rank an area and a reef for the underwent medical checks since the outbreak of the coronavirus an influx influx of migrants into europe as someone slow. a medical evacuation flight bound for japan 1st into flames upon takeoff from the philippine capital manila killing all 8 people on board bill is international airport authorities said the victims were a filipino american woman a canadian man and 6 filipino crew members and minutes. vote counting has begun in mali following a long delayed parliamentary election observers just turnout was low amid fears

over the coronavirus the 1st parliamentary poll in the country since incumbent president ybor heem boubacar kiters party won a majority in 2013. hungary's prime minister. will seek an open ended extension to a state of emergency today in his country's fight against a virus pandemic hungry has just begun a 2 week long down and extending the law would give the government the power to pass any decrees it says are necessary to manage the outbreak but opposition parties and e.u. institutions fear the move could effectively give a blank check to clamp down on civil rights and democracy. well joining me now outside the parliament in budapest is correspondent funny funny we've seen several world leaders introducing these sorts of emergency powers but this one this has critics worried to some referring to this even as

a power grab. exactly call this because there's no clear cut off date when it comes to once it's being passed here behind me in the parliament most likely today it will be basically no effect for an indefinite time and this is exactly what gets opposition parties here in hungary but also from within the european institutions lawmakers human rights organizations worried that the law may be misused now there is one element that's part of this emergency package that also makes especially home very worried because to do with the fact that he says if you disseminate if you spread false information you can be liable and go to prison for up to 5 years now this is especially. because they say already the media landscape is structured such that it is in the hands of people who are loyal to the government so yes these concerned that this law will be misused even though of course at this point nobody knows how the measure is once in

place how these measures will. sort of be disproportionate to the actual threat the threat of coffee 19 about the hungarian people themselves what do they think about these potential measures. well actually if you talk to people here on the streets as i've done during the press previous days you will hear other concerns about the health care system that they're worried that the health care system cannot stand its ground to actually cope with the. 19 the majority of people here say that so far there are 5 of the measures in place they feel that this is very important that there's a partial lockdown here and hungry people can still leave their homes but only to do very very necessary things they are so far satisfied but we're skepticism their frustration is rather increasing when he comes to the actual culpability but also the state kept ability to help people in need because of

a health care system was being chronically underfunded not only during the current government but also during previous previous governments in hungary for the vote expected in parliament later today funny fish are on the case for us in budapest thank you very much. well for many people trying to keep fit during the chrono virus outbreak they know it isn't easy some are using online gym classes to exercise at home but what if you had your own personal trainer right there in your own neighborhood well some people in homburg are in luck october 7th is is a mexican fitness coach he lives there and he's been leading for 3 workouts for his neighbors you can see them there on their balconies taking part it all comes with music and even improvised weights as you can see the best part of the whole thing no gym membership.
