a big bailout for germany's small businesses owners begin applying for state aid as europe's largest economy is forecast to shrink by at least 5 percent this year. i'm calling 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 the ones that 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 may now also be most at risk of catching the virus. social distancing is a privilege that these people cannot afford all across india day laborers rushed to

transportation hubs carrying whatever they could. to nationwide lockdown has put millions out of work and started a mass exodus from the cities. for these people who are leaving new delhi for their home towns the fear of starving is 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 are forced to leave we're taking precautions and keeping as much distance as we can have no other words i 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 block 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. i especially want to 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. i especially ask for their forgiveness. so far roughly 1000 people in 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 long 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 the slowdown at an early stage but there are critics on that opposition which are criticizing the government saying that these measures should have been taken much earlier like in the middle of february and i guess the fact that the law down was announced with just 4 out of notice is being criticized and the critics are seeing this 21 day long as the government trying to ramp up its capitulation in terms of. making a web of the ventilator the best think if the critics are seeing this 21 day long down as the government buying time to ramp up its reputation what are the chances about what the public health officials been saying about that about the 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 where you know it's important to also remember that the population density in india is price as high as that of china so the danger is probably good here because as we saw the images that are proud of the workers who are walking and queuing up in bus stations to go back to their homes to go back to their villages and as i said the dude has to get a truck just so it is not that well developed and finally that is the call that 19000 for which i saw tonight we think that india is going into the safety of community transmission but as i said when it comes to your numbers in the festing case and then to meet does the us still falling behind in that number ok when you're a child reporting for us from delhi on the situation there thank you very much. ok let's take a look now at some other corona virus developments the number of infections worldwide has now topped 700000 people that's according to

a new tally and spain is now the 3rd country to overtake china in reported cases of covert 19 total infections there of now reach more than $85000.00 austria will require citizens to wear face masks in supermarkets starting on wednesday authorities there say they will distribute masks to the public and the price of oil now down to $23.00 per barrel that's the lowest since 2002 that's due to plummeting demand after the during the global economic slowdown hungary's prime minister viktor orban will seek an open ended extension to a state of emergency today in his country's fight against the coronavirus pandemic hungary has just begun a 2 week lockdown and extending the law would give orbán the power to pass any decrees deemed necessary to manage the outbreak indefinitely but opposition parties and e.u. institutions fear the move could effectively give obama a blank check to clamp down on civil rights and democracy.

let's bring india views are pods so if he's in budapest for us 1st of all that can you just explain for us exactly what kinds of powers this bill would give the prime minister. well it would give him ultimate powers another would she could shoot pretty well any decrease he thinks necessary that would be useful in battling the corona virus outbreak here in hungary also which hasn't been as badly adversely affected as a lot of other european countries so far at least something like 15 have died and less than $450.00 have tested positive but still they're saying that it's going to get a lot worse before it gets a lot better as pretty well everyone else is saying and they're either in in the other countries so he could cash anything that he wants but they say it's all going to be the logical and safe etc but of course there's a lot of criticism you touched on that in your intro for example the the secretary general of the council of europe and the office of the high commissioner for human

rights at the united nations have criticized this saying it's too much power it's unlimited power for an undetermined amount of time and they said that is too much it's got to be more checks and balances that's what opposition parties say here too and some concern journalists mainly who are. also concerned about other things in the country but the government seems to have a pretty good feel for things because for example the country's biggest opposition use paper in a 7 commissioned. a study last week that was carried out by the public research institute and surprisingly for a lot of opposition people here 76 percent of the hungaroring population supports it for what the government has been doing and interestingly enough that about that up support for opposition parties has actually nosedive 10 percent last 2 weeks while support for finesse the ruling party here in hungary led by that door bond has increased. our he's got about 30 seconds now if this vote passes later today

what happens next. that's right well he will viktor orban and should ash and their partner party the christian democrats will have pretty well ultimate power here and that will remain they say until the krona virus broad has been beaten and the minister of justice who did fargo said that's going to be up to science and up to life when that happens and so we should be able to pass this because they have a 2 thirds majority that's exactly what they need they couldn't get that last week they read that they could get the 80 percent we need rush week with this week they don't need 80 percent they need 2 thirds and that's pretty well what they're going to get and i believe that they will go into power and. the reporting for us in budapest thank you very much here in germany government economists now say it recession is inevitable because of the kona virus shutdown they're predicting the economy will shrink by anywhere from 2 to more than 5

percent this year last week lawmakers passed a 750000000000 euro relief package to help ease the pain small business owners are already starting to apply cocktail as one of the many small softs in the heart of poland joe deliver to open it almost 10 years ago with a corona crisis he doesn't know if he can keep it up he's trying to apply online for government a half an hour ago he was totally proud. to get through but there are 35800 people in front of. first small businesses and self-employed people like joe the government has promised immediate aid depending on the size of the business up to 15000 heroes not as a credit but a cash grant. still these for me quite unclear who is funding what and i think especially for self employed people it's going to be particularly tricky because we are sort of out of the system. and that's one thing that's

causing a lot of panic i think amongst the self-employed state aid would at least help cover the rent joe diliberto will keep trying to register for the subsidy. the same applies for. she manages one of the lens famous clubs. still isn't working the clubs in berlin where the 1st just sat down at the beginning of the spread of coronavirus and has no idea when they can reopen it we won't get far with this money and what should we do next where do we get the money to pay for all our costs we aren't earning anything. hopes that there will be an additional state program for cultural venues. we don't compensate for the crash that we're now experiencing some people in production

could earn money by working extra night shifts but we can't do that. everything that we're losing can never be regained. joe diliberto is trying to bolster sales within the online shop and it's working better than expected but it's not nearly enough his hopes rest on the state the way the funding is working is the opposite of the way it has always worked and that they are basically hopefully providing a flat amount of money to small business and then doing with the bureaucracy behind it and it's always been the other way. that. i do fear for the self-employed without the state aid he doesn't know if he'll make it to the 10th anniversary office shop in december. are to look now at some of the other stories making headlines at this hour the spanish coast guard has rescued over 70 migrants and see the canary islands the migrants were brought to or tim duncan orient in a reef where they underwent medical checks since the outbreak of the corona virus

the influx of migrants into europe and slowed. in medical evacuation flight bound for japan erst into flames upon takeoff from the philippine capital manila killing all 8 people on board manila's international airport authorities said the victims were a filipino american woman a canadian man and 6 filipino crew members and met us. all for many of us keeping fitz during the virus outbreak is an easy. use on my gym classes maybe to exercise at home but what if you had your own personal trainer right there in your own neighborhood well take a look.
