the hot tub solutions my name is on the top she's not and i will continue. the place to. place. blame oh. oh. the c.w. news live from berlin for millions in india the fear of starvation is greater than the fear of infection day laborers ramble to return home after a nationwide lockdown puts them out of work and out on the streets prime minister narendra modi apologizes for their suffering but the worst may be yet to come as the exit is threatens to spread the coronavirus across the country also coming up.

was. new yorkers join the chorus of fog health workers as the city at the heart of america's corona virus outbreak grapples with the crisis but people in other parts of the country appear to be going about their lives undeterred by the threat of the pandemic plus the aid groups are calling for the evacuation of vulnerable people from greece's overcrowded refugee camps they fear an outbreak and the more the accountant's lesbos would be catastrophic and 000-000-0000 extension 000. oh oh oh oh a man with the moves in hamburg with so many of his neighbors stuck couchsurfing because of the pandemic he's pushing everyone to get those muscles going. to. play the boat.

i'm sara kelly welcome to the program as more and more countries impose lockdowns over the coronavirus india faces a larger challenge than most it's 1300000000 people have been ordered to say at home since last week but the informal workers who form the backbone of the economy this means losing their income overnight leaving many without enough money for food and those hardest hit by the lockdown may also be the most at risk of catching the virus. the social distancing is a privilege that these people cannot afford all the cross in the day laborers rushed to transportation hubs carrying whatever they could. the 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 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 it had democrat spreading but we were 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. 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 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. and let's get more now with correspondent money or at. least so we just heard it their money or a prime minister modi an ounce into lockdown with just a few hours notice was he and his government unprepared for the pandemic. well prime minister the government is being criticized by the opposition especially for announcing this lockdown and they call it they're saying that this lockdown was announced without much talk without much strategy and that is why we're seeing the

crisis the kind of x. oldest crisis that we're seeing in india right now and besides the critics are saying this 21 day log don't be good as the government buying time to build up the health care infrastructure because i spotted the numbers look on sun for the number of people conducting our testing kits which were available the ventilator that sort of in the blue the protective gear we were still falling behind so the speed of being seen as an effort also by the governmental ramp up last operation and for day laborers who many of whom are trying to get home how will they survive without any jobs and almost no 8 when the last anywise address and wish to slow down was announced the prime minister will be missed out on giving reassurance to the most one little section of people that they will be looked after in this time of crisis and that is why we see the way they've sort of started in the kind of just distressing images which have come forward because these people let's remember

that the people most huge pot or part informal economy you have millions of migrant workers who cross the border in. overnight they found themselves out of livelihood out of food and out of a place to state so many were courted by the media saying that if the disease doesn't kill them hunger might and even though the government has announced a financial relief package and they're saying they can on the task force is working on other packages this section of people is dead it's been helpless little have no idea whether they will get that even when they will actually get it so they're facing. they're facing hunger we also have seen some disturbing video on social media illustrating mistreatment of migrant workers this is coming from the state of pradesh tell us more about that. yes. a group. including men women and children can be seen sitting on the ground the

policeman on which is one of the most populous states in the country and the state from which a large number of my can migrate to other areas of the country. holding down the group of the migrant workers with the disinfectant which they have a mixture of clothing and water and it has a massive outreach and. it basically shows the mistreatment. of the booklet and how the local authorities are not properly. and prepared for the situation and you know i like that this is one of the most. of the nation and it looks like the problem then. looking by going by the kind of behavior that we can begin to doubt to them and we see it there outlined clearly on video many are choudhry joining us from delhi thank you. and in the united states president donald trump has done another about face and his response to the coronavirus crisis he now

says that social distancing guidelines will remain in place until the end of april abandoning hopes that the u.s. could return to business as usual by easter the government's top infectious disease expert is now warning that up to 200000 americans could die from the virus responses to the pandemic vary across the divided country often along party lines. a sign that all is not well on the streets of new york. volunteers hand out free food to residents in need. many are facing destitution since most businesses were forced to close 2 weeks ago and unemployment is growing charity workers say the coronavirus crisis is a game changer. i've met plenty of people that have told me i never came to the market because i didn't eat the food i prefer for people that actually need to get it but now i'm on employed parents are unemployed are employed or there's only one

person working at work and everything and it's it's it's heartbreaking. new yorkers show their appreciation for medical workers by cheering from their apartments. the city so far the worst hit area in the u.s. many hospitals are straining to cope with the number of patients president trump expressed a lawnmower the situation there especially in one hospital and his home bara queens body bags all over in the hallways i've been watching them bring in trailer trucks move freezer trucks the freezer trucks because they can't handle the bodies there's so many of them this is in my essentially in my community in queens queens new york i've seen things are never seen before i mean i've seen them but i've seen on television in faraway lands i've never seen them in our country. elsewhere there's also a growing sense of emergency in los angeles the military has been drafted in to set

up a makeshift hospital and convention center as the city prepares for what it fears could be a steep rise in cases. yet in other places especially in rural america some are failing to understand the gravity of what is about to hit them. in louisiana also one of the worst affected states in the country hundreds flashed a ban on large gatherings to attend a church service on sunday. and let's take a closer look now at some of the other corona virus developments the number of infections worldwide has now topped 730000 people according to a new tally spain is now the 3rd country to overtake china in reported cases of cope with 19 total infections there have reached more than $85000.00 and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has gone into quarantine after one of his staff members tested positive for the corona virus and the price of oil has just fallen to over $22.00

a barrel the lowest since 2002 that's because of plummeting demand due to the global economic slowdown. germany is a wise men panel of economic advisers or experts excuse me believes that measures to deal with the coronavirus will slash growth this year by over 5 percent a recessions starting in the current 2nd quarter is unavoidable according to these experts in the best case scenario similar to china where the situation appears to have stabilized germany's economy would rebound strongly in 2021 the economists say that the government's priority must be funding the health system to provide adequate care to patients and to limit the spread of the virus. and for more on the group's research i'm joined now by professor lars fels the chairman of the german council of economic experts thank you so much for joining us this afternoon we just heard about your research which says that

a recession cannot be avoided how bad could it be. well actually decrease 0 g.d.p. over the whole year. of high or in 4 percent. is one of florists and areas already so we are in the basic scenario you know bit more optimistic and contain the defects to a minus a 2.8 percent course this year so we are not as pessimistic. are we don't think. the economy will. be good it's g.d.p. is reduced to digit figures. let's talk a little more about your level of pessimism. i mean it's pretty clear that that in the short term we're going to experience a slowdown but how health quickly do you see the economy found think back after

this crisis for example your research says that we're looking at a v. shaped curve which is the best case scenario walk us through that. well actually in a. v. shape scenario we think of 5 weeks shut down and 3 weeks. until the economy is coming again normal areas and this means. that we don't of a reduction in the production capacities production us abilities so. it will be easier to return to normal growth past afterwards just because the capacities are still there. are not destroyed like we have left or a sense of. other people use this kind of metaphor to. describe it as

a strong difference that we. can use to test the words so that's the best case walk us through now the worst case which is the scenario of the so-called l. shaped recovery where the economy won't come back for a longer period of time. how high is the risk that that could happen and what would it look like. well we think that their shifts in the. realist for several reasons 1st of all. the. grown up and make will be coped with. some weeks to some extent think about the future of the hammer of hands we are going to enter. the. health policy measures. you can usually return to normal in an earl shape scenario that we have. effect our production possibilities on

the capacity of. low productivity growth because there's so much innovation i don't think that the structural preconditions that the chairman economy. has actually looking like that this would mean that we are entering in. the european monetary union this is not the case. with that optimistic assessment chairman of the german council of economic experts thank you so much for joining us to share and say thank you very much let's head to will han now the city in china at the epicenter of the corona virus outbreak life came a little closer to returning to normal today more than 2 months after the city's 10000000 people were put on strict a lockdown on monday shopping malls open their doors again but it'll likely be some time before it's entirely back to business as usual. after months of

coronavirus lockdown china is keen to get the economy going again reviving the devastated retail sector is a big part of this. all too long i think everyone has been stuck at home for a long time who hand hasn't lifted all the bands yet all bands are supposed to be lifted on april 8th we still need things to do to pick ourselves up yeah yeah. going out for retail therapy is not straightforward there are strictures of how many people can enter to any one time customers masala ties their hands submit to fever checks and display a code on a smartphone up the tracks a user's health say just where they've been as china's worst affected city who has been hoping for a break the corona virus outbreak began at a wet market here in december the virus has killed 2547 people here and will authorities need to prevent

a spike in infections as people return to work. so simple whittington when customers 1st come in the hangars need to be disinfected because they are frequently touched by customers this way they won't worry and then for a board like this it must be disinfected customers will worry less when they pick up bras and i think time will return if i seem to. for the time being customers here in new hands malls are scarce consumers will only return in numbers once they're convinced the virus has been swept away. let's get a quick check of some other stories making news around the world one hospital in the german city of wolfsburg has stopped taking in new patients after several staff there tested positive for the corona virus new patients will be sent to facilities nearby the number of registered coronavirus cases in germany has risen to more than 57000 according to official figures. the 2020 tokyo olympics will now

officially kick off on july 23rd 2021 japanese organizers and the international olympic committee settled on that date today a week after the games were postponed because of the global pandemic. hunger is parliament has just voted to grant prime minister viktor orbán broad new powers that he says are needed to fight the coronavirus there the new law allows orbán to rule by decree for an unlimited amount of time the prime minister declared a state of emergency and hungry 3 weeks ago critics say the anti coronavirus defense act as it's known gives orbán unnecessary and unlimited power allowing him to cement his leadership under the pretext of fighting the outbreak. well around the world social distancing has become the mantra of the day greece's overcrowded refugee camps like moria on the island of lesbos were already facing

dire sen he conditions even before the corona virus outbreak 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 corona virus. there are more than 20000 people living here in dire conditions lack of food washing areas and medicine are the norm. there is a lot of disease here people are sick they have fevers and skin conditions likes k.b.'s and life they cough and have breathing problems like asthma officially there are no coded 1000 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.

in. the 1st full. day we do want to. 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 criticized a lack of political will to end the humanitarian crisis that 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 then we have to evacuate these camps you can't even. camp intended for 3000 people housing 20000 that makes social distancing here close to impossible. and for more let's bring in

a possible says he is director of medical programs for doctors without borders and athens thank you so much for joining us and welcome to the program and we've just seen there the conditions at the morea camp and now we have this extra threat of the corona virus what is the situation that your colleagues are encountering in the camp right now. rationing the. situation. 41000 runs and women and men are living in a place for 6095 people these people are in overcrowding situation on the question of stay home there is no home these people are they have lack of access to water wines there is one water running for 1300 people there is one toilet for 200 people and there is one shop or 200 people so there is no access to water and sanitation and thirdly these people who are having an additional problem of us are

seeing here seems united those 1000 the government stops along the routes discovered you know this isn't their last days there is a knock down of the grass that leaves it from 7 o'clock in the evening every sort of going to only these people cannot move out because that means more difficult conditions and more exposure to these people to live these. fortunately can be nothing has been done in brucie's not going to use 1st of all the overcrowding nothing is being done to move out of the ones and nothing is being done to prepare for something that would be a disaster from the ground so now you see nothing has been done to prepare if there is an outbreak of close at 19 so i mean what could this now look like i mean how are doctors without borders preparing to deal with that type of scenario. well fortunately in the that of europe we have to prepare for a scenario that has not existed so from our side we're being told to get out on

both the resolution and some of you know order to go and work together with we go to these setting up something in the county normally to be able to provide and services were being put in case of exposure by those who support or look at those who have agreed to go by should be i think the greek government and european union have been forgiving these people for years these people over there are sounding virus go even turkey statement i think it's better late than never that something is being done today. and have the kind of the little girl who wants 2nd degree just an over the 3rd offering more workers ideation activities and possibly these poor people and of course ensuring that medical care is invasion is comes so some concrete recommendations there and we do indeed hope that they are heeded apostle. from doctors without borders joining us from athens greece thank you so much smyth . well south korea was one of the 1st countries to be hit hard by the

coronavirus but in recent weeks the daily numbers of new infections has been fairly steady suggesting that seoul is having some success in flattening the curve of the government response has been swift vulnerable groups can still fall through the cracks leaving many relying on volunteers for support. judge. has been cooking free meals for those less fortunate since 1992 becoming the charity kitchens manager 3 years ago these days rather than offering soup and side dishes inside buddhist temple serves large rice bowls for takeout to prevent the spread of the coronavirus despite the change in menu they say diners are grateful. they give us thanks for providing them these rice balls is not only arise bolter them everyone says thank you i tell them that they can get the right schools without cooperating waiting in line for a short time where in mosques and sterilizing

a bit before they can pick up their food and they have to avoid eating in the same place so. many of the temples diners are especially vulnerable and most are not registered as citizens and therefore ineligible for state aid the large rice balls here are often their only meal of the day. to get. a good efforts to increase participation in containing the virus have spread across saul's 25 districts to no one. where an estimated 500 volunteers answered the call to produce really usable cotton mess. my neighbor told me that she was volunteering to make the mosques and suggested we do it together i also want to use my sewing skills to help others these days everybody stays at home so i thought it would be better to help someone instead of just staying at home doing nothing. although the cotton fields to offer complete protection from the coronavirus high quality

disposable masks are rationed no one's leader believes providing to cotton masks to each of the districts half a 1000000 citizens can offer other intangible benefits. what's meaningful is that neighbors help each other when the nation the people and the community are in great difficulty it's not important to make 100 or 1000 mosques but to show the power of the people in korea to help each other when times are tough. after completing the production process the masks are delivered recipients then often donate their own higher quality medical masks to those more vulnerable pregnant women the elderly and the disabled. and for many people keep. fit during the corona virus outbreak also isn't easy some use online gym classes to exercise at home but what if you had your own personal trainer right in your own neighborhood check this out this is introducing how to survive on tests he's a mexican fitness coach living in the german city of hamburg he has been leading
