to be a concrete solution for money miss i'm actually not. this instinctively news live from berlin protecting the population from the coronavirus facemasks part of the opinion is divided about whether they use by medics can stop the spread of the in fiction look at differing attitude to europe and asia also on the program. afghanistan steps up its efforts to contain coded 19 but now faces an

additional challenge from the thousands of people but sending hundreds from iran. plus european 2020 police are deployed outside supermarkets in southern italy as people run out of food and money and fears von briest continued to grow. a math and how to welcome to the program governments around the world a scrambling to find ways to limit the spread of the coronavirus many of imposed restrictions on people's movements we've also been told to wash our hands and keep out distance from of it's in some places especially people if they are ordered to wait months some european governments are now also telling people to cover their faces but opinion is divided we'll hear from an expert in a moment but 1st this report. face mosques for years they've been part of

daily life for many in asia and now for parts of europe they're about to become say to austria's decision to make it compulsory to wear the mosques and supermarkets sparked a debate in neighboring germany. the town of vienna has now become germany's 1st to announce similar measures though given the shortage of facemasks the city has encouraged people to sow their own it's a move large the welcome to buy their residence. here and i think inside it the more that stunned the better and the more everyone does it the center will be free of the virus i have 6 simple masks at home and then push comes to shove also my wrists and. i think it's a good idea in principle the problem is that there simply aren't any masks and it's . the world health organization is among those saying there's little scientific evidence showing that basic masks once not intended for medical use affect if we

prevent healthy people from catching the corona virus but some experts advice that they could be useful as a barrier to stop those infected from contaminating others. non-truths masks for nose and mouth are relevant for the protection of others if someone is infected and masks keep the virus droplets from flying out when someone sneezes or coughs. to avoid. up to now the insistence by many western countries that the widespread use of mosques is not necessary has surprised many in asia that people have worn face masks the years because of air pollution but in this pandemic they're practically a civic duty in europe that attitude is now increasingly gaining ground. she is the epidemiologist with the european center for disease control and

prevention he's currently the technical group leader of its coronavirus response team and with a burning question here and all over the world to people here in europe will be wearing face masks in public. well the answer is not straightforward so as you had in your previous presentation the mosques main. is in clinical care or when someone is symptomatic because we know when they have symptoms like coughing or sneezing they will spread the virus so we use them mainly for that situation what we are looking at now is a different. solution for using of months and that is we know that some people can spread the virus when they don't have symptoms and that is usually just before the symptoms thought so one or 2 days before we have seen cases where people have managed to spread the virus so if these people are out and about they don't even know themselves that they have the pirates and wearing

a mask might reduce. it's not your 1st choice of prevention so there are more important things like social distancing and washing of hands and so on but it might help a little bit of that for those kind of people. and we're hearing of critical shortages of personal protective equipment what's the response. well they've been working on this will some time of course because this was one of the 1st things that concerned governments and you know the the commission has been having many meetings of the ministers of health with they have a system called joint procurement which means the countries have been asked which are the things you want you what you think you're going to have. and of course most surgical for example is one of them and this joint procurement mechanism is where the commission can buy huge amounts and have a single store that they can then distribute the equipment to the countries that

need it most the 1st thing to have arrived i think even to this week the mosques the other materials there are still the contracts are still to be signed for the deliveries. you referred to the symptomatic ties to china and the u.s. now talking about lots numbers of corona virus infections with no symptoms at all what do we know about so-called silent carrying in europe and what are those implications you know 1st of all about 80 percent of people who get infected will have no symptoms at all should the problem of not just the symptoms we know for from studies even if you are about to get symptoms or get very sick 2 days before anything comes out for you to see that you have the infection you could also spread the virus so that's where the real worry is on this are simpler to carry its carrier state is not a long one so it's not like for example

a tribe which is lifelong unless you take treatment. the virus will only be transmitted from you for about $7.00 to $10.00 days and more there are cases and 2 weeks and more severe cases of course those that have pneumonia very severe complications will continue shouting the virus will long. the pandemic has already claimed more than $30000.00 lives in europe anywhere close to turning the corner. i wish i could answer that the moment work we have more blacks who are working on trying to find. people turning to peak will happen unfortunately we haven't got enough evidence here to be able to keep you around with any degree of. security at the moment it's still increasing there are signs of some countries that the increase has been beginning to get managed by the social distancing physical distancing. but it's too early for me to give you have protection i'm afraid. and

gace thank you so much pleasure. italy is in its 4th week of a strict nationwide lockdown while this might be helping in the fight against the coronavirus it's bringing the country's economy to its knees with people losing their jobs and there is a mounting that in italy dissatisfaction brother could quickly turn to one wrist. italy's streets empty like they have been for the past 3 weeks. police are on patrol to ensure citizens only leave their homes when strictly necessary. the lockdown has altered daily life in italy and brought the country's economy to a halt all non-essential businesses have had to shut down many people have lost

their jobs or have seen their salaries cut some are now unable to afford even the basics. authorities and individual citizens have stepped in handing out meals to those in need but these initiatives are hardly enough and the risk of social unrest in italy is growing the mayor of naples has warned that the lockdown can't continue indefinitely. but he still we will soon need something close to normal economic activity. otherwise not only will we have thousands of coronavirus the duchesse but we will also have millions of unemployed people need you will need to be like you know organized crime will stop and it can spend money and it can spend it faster than the government because it will stop in sicily police are patrolling supermarkets after reports of shoppers refusing to pay italy isn't the only nation with a lockdown is hitting the poor hardest it might again prove to be an example of

what's to come in other countries paralyzed by the coronavirus crisis. for more we're joined from brown by correspondent zuma gupta how serious i feel is that the longer the lockdown goes on the more this time could foster crime and go on wrist. yes i mean the concern really is as that package pointed out when you look at the entire country the concern is more in the south and that's because the south is traditionally the poorer part of the country it has high incidence of unemployment and it's also where who have the presence of those organized crime gangs or groups that are ready to take advantage of very desperate people so we understand that she's a close these this is a feeling in suffering even those who are involved in 10 steve legal work that's dried up and they don't actually have access to any of those benefits is not as easy for them and so you have these reports of supermarkets where people are just

going in and taking the food and so the police have to stand out there to make sure that doesn't happen you've gotten points of people begging at banks for loans because they need money to sit by so this can be to other issues of social tension in unrest and it's precisely in such a situation that you have these organized crime gangs definitely in the mafia where the experts who study these groups say that you know they've got the liquidity they've got the money now to offer very unreasonable loans off of these loans in exchange for recruitment into the criminal activity on top of that they could be tapping into that that people have full protective gear in selling that he quit then for more money. similarly as a shop north south divide how is the crisis playing out differently across these different areas of the country. well when you look at the health response we up north that's where the biggest cost is where we're seeing the biggest emergency but

that sure dish nearly is where you have a well cost health system down south it's not as well equipped and there is concern that needs to be classed as well to exclude that it could potentially be dangerous now we're already seeing increasing cases in the regions like campania with needles located as well as in cornea and in sin city and the hospitals there are not as well equipped and the forty's they are seeing big need more protective gear they need those mosques they need the goggles and all the putting that come to protect those who aka are working to help those that have been infected the key concern is also the presence of the virus in care homes for the aged whether vulnerable and those working their old sort of heat that protected the authorities are asking the central government for that synagogue in iraq thank you so much here's some of the other stories now making news around the world britain has

turned a london exhibition center into a temporary coronavirus field hospital it will trade up to 4000 patients struck down by coverage 19 who were previously fit and healthy sicker patients and those who with underlying health conditions will be treated in regular hospitals. lawmakers in ukraine passed a historic land reform bill clearing. and $8000000000.00 i.m.f. loan package wearing masks and gloves against the coronavirus 3 i lifted a longstanding ban on the sale of family unit. well the german government is fine funding start ups with a rescue package with 2000000000 euros it's one of the several rescue packages put together by the federal as well as state governments in germany finance minister olaf schultz said that many innovative young companies already struggle with liquidity and find it difficult to secure loans he says they need support so as not

to endanger their existence not to mention years of research and development well for more on how the government is trying to stabilize the economy in this time of process let's cross over to our financial correspondent conrad bisan in frankfurt conrad another 2000000000 euros to start ups do these rescue packages address the problems being raised by companies in germany. well this new program to start our program is a very important idea this is what financial people have been telling me when i talk to them about it here today because well start up companies don't make money they don't make profits and they have no assets they can use as collateral in order to get a typical bank loan. also of course those. start ups find

it very difficult to apply for the previous programs to help programs that the government has introduced because in order to get into those programs you still need to get through a classical bank loan procedure at the same time of course venture capitalists financial people who put money into start ups they are you know very volatile right now very risk averse so the state says let's take money and match those investments by venture capital is to tell the venture capitalists that investments are safe at least for the moment. germany has made an aggressive start helping not only corporations of all sizes but also people who are out of been come tell us how governments in other countries reacting to the crisis. well generally speaking the more you know the richer a country the more it has to spend the boys it's doing the u.s.

for example with its 2 trillion us dollars stimulus package but i can tell you all industrial nations are really doing a lot germany france spain the u.k. are granting tax deferrals the fros of payment of security social security contributions it's a leave the u.k. and spain even granting debt repayment holidays all of the nations are guaranteeing bank. with an amount of up to 90 percent even but this also in some cases is. causing problems because in order to get those guarantees you still have to go to a traditional bank of the bank has to evaluate your business chances opportunities after corona and that's not something really one can do easily right now can read bisan in frankfurt thank you very much. like a rough virus lockdown is under way in india the country is urging those who can to

dine to help the poor employees have been asked to keep paying by just for their household stuff and people who work in shops but for the country's day laborers the lockdown is a crisis equal to the coronavirus epidemic itself. here in new delhi mohan law washes and polishes his auto rickshaw every day the rickshaw is his pride and joy it's how he earns his living and he has 4 children to support but now he's been grounded and are india's nationwide lockdown nearly all transport services have been shut down. i'm going to have to borrow money from someone i need food for my children borrowing money is my only choice. mohan and his family live in southwest new delhi in a poor district he dreamed of helping his children rise to the middle class to get secure and well paid jobs. his income wasn't enough to cover the cost of both food

and school uniforms so the family had already taken out a loan now food costs are rising and the lockdown is slated to last 3 weeks. down is extended things will get very hard i don't know how we'll manage it god alone knows if we'll survive. this laundry work or also doesn't know how who get by his middle class customers aren't venturing outdoors they're staying at home during the lockdown hoping to avoid infection. because of the koran a virus we're not allowed into the neighborhood that means i have no work we're not allowed in the district and can't go to our customers my wife and i used to go there all the time now we can't. you can. be. back in his own neighborhood it's day 7 of the lock down he and his wife still have

food some wheat and rice from the state they have the equivalent of 4 years left which they'll spend on vegetables and milk if they get sick they won't be able to pay for medicine. india's day laborers are the backbone of the country's economy with millions out of work and costs soaring they can't make ends meet many are leaving the cities in defiance of the lockdown in delhi the police are trying to push them back. mean this is. economy where employment desmond everything is fully. i would you go where. they can cut not this is an incomplete it was moving down. the exodus from new delhi shows no signs of abating day laborers help supply the city with food and other necessities so their absence is already being felt. afghanistan has recorded nearly 200 cases and 4 deaths or thirty's there are taking steps to halt the spread

of the infection but after years of war the health system is weak and would be overwhelmed if the number of cases grows as it has in other countries the country's problems are exacerbated by the return of thousands of people from iran one of the country's worst hit by car. spraying down the streets of kabul in a desperate attempt to stave off a deadly disease afghanistan is one of the world's poorest countries its health care system is no match for a pandemic that's spreading across the globe like wildfire. as the number of coronavirus cases here rises the government is taking measures to contain the outbreak the western city of herat is eerily calm shops and mosques have been ordered to shut down maddow more as a coronavirus keeps spreading they'll be in a minute tarion catastrophe the government must take serious measures to help like most afghans the residents of herat

a poor the government has ordered the release of hundreds of inmates to prevent crowded jails from becoming infection hotspots but afghanistan has bigger worries than its prison population millions of afghans have been displaced during years of conflict many have fled to neighboring iran one of the country's worst hit by the corona virus pandemic those people are now streaming back in their thousands all are potential carriers of the disease. only if. the number of afghan refugees returning has increased massively. afraid of the coronavirus in iraq and the not finding work because a lot. to clear for them government is concerned about the huge number of people returning among the most vulnerable to the virus is afghanistan's internally displaced population many of them live in sprawling camps on the outskirts of hereat which is close to the iranian border here survival is already

a daily struggle camp residents depend on critical help from overstretched international aid agencies whose work is now made even more difficult by the global pandemic well earlier we spoke to egeland the general secretary of the no wage and refuge the refugee council and i asked him how dangerous the coronavirus pandemic is for those living in camps for displaced people. well it is horribly dangerous because remember that this place that refugees have fled from their homes from their communities from their space from the hospitals that maybe bombed too small a confined space is very often where they thought they were safe now these places camps settlements may be traps where the virus will fright and humans

will be very very vulnerable so we are in which a refugee council working very hard in afghanistan in iran and in 30 other countries we're trying to provide more hand washing facilities more water and sanitation we're trying to also provide most base for the refugees so they can have some disagreement distance and proper haps we will also be able to put up poor and tie in tents and the like but it's a race against the clock well over one who over stretch. is john abell and they're from the no wage and refugee council where the west african country of ghana has recorded nearly 200 cases of coded 19 and 5 deaths the government has imposed a lockdown to contain the spread of the disease this is led pastas in particular to look for creative ways of reaching their congregations but as deadly as eyes that can lead see reports some shots late as a finding it hard to adjust to the new reality show you are good right. now to

mali. is a young community leader in my dena as. he also runs a christian fellowship organization for young people. to pandemic has taint normality on its hate given the ban on so shut that trains chicken is on able to meet his friends for weekly meetings but he has suggested to. crises by using social media to reach his community through life broadcasts he talks about who his office had washington and encourages men best to stay at home and hope safe social distancing has young people i'm glued to technology so we reach out to our people through facebook through what our food you tube. to disseminate information through the power of technology to look down is now in place in cities

such as accra and the southern city of massey to prevent the spread of the corona virus. for the next 2 weeks streets like these remain empty. because of a lockdown they can only come out for food items and other essentials for some of these it's a new experience but one they have to cope with in the meantime schools have public gatherings are prohibited. weddings are now limited to 25 people. not. just in easily to this new way of life just shake. leitz prius at this mosque he understands the importance of the new restrictions but he shows on comfortable about them joy in this large congregation and talking to them and many of them coming to me to shake my hand. a few of them

will have certain personal problems want to me to talk to them now because we have closed no more seen and something has gone. wrong. in my weekly religious life that means look forward to an end to this pandemic so they can resume normal life but at this point there is no way to know when that might be. football's governing body faith is working on what it calls a football marshall plan to limit the financial damage done by the coronavirus pandemic to the world's favorite sport the sales have not yet been decided that faith is likely to dip into its reserves of $2700000000.00 u.s. dollars in order to help associations legs and clubs that account they stopped of revenue by the interruption to play almost all domestic and international competitions account suspended jade of the pandemic and magic 20 months like you
