enormous 1000000000 plus population. poverty is pushing millions of desperate people to defy india's lockdown orders it's a basic matter of survival this landfill just outside of new delhi has become a lifeline. for the past few days i've been eating whatever i can find here look here there's some bread. there are biscuits i'm going to eat them yet. he and other scour heaps of waste looking for whatever they can survive on now and live on later. i don't know if i can resell anything at the moment but after lock down when the market reopens i'll try to sell it. to contain the coronavirus the indian government has chosen to confine all of its 1300000000 residents success varies city to city state to state some areas are nearly empty with few people venturing out but for the millions living below the poverty line confinement isn't

an option. yet i had a good life and all of a sudden my kids and i lost our jobs everything closed down this is no way to live what are we going to eat the condemning has dried up work and costs a mass exodus yeah people will die anyway either from hunger or coronavirus under these conditions it's best to return to the village at least there are roads says will be able to bury us with dignity. but while the poor free they could potentially spread a virus throughout the country making the fight against covert 19 even tougher to win. well earlier today correspondent. in delhi she told us more about the expected extension. but actually bit of what's coming out a still unconfirmed by accident was or are they don't want to answer the prime minister head would lead us. to make

a decision about if it's knocked down should be extended i'm not one of those. to beat out the prime minister's decision to extend lockdown so i will be doing the protection while from the prime minister's office himself and also to d.d.'s office knocked down because i don't know what's going to get done and why not i'm going to continue some of the don'ts and conditions out there meanwhile i don't fight because there's also been a significant economic impact of this knock down in india i was already in the midst of an economic slowdown the flow back i make it so it could be decisions going out to facilities activity and economy again but it is basically at this point that the release and it least are the end of this month. we're seeing particularly challenging images from some places like garbage dumps what is the government doing to help those people who are most vulnerable at this time. well actually the government has announced measures to have. the up and work migrants to

be habitable occasions across cities like new day they have made baghdad johns was construction lookers and believe that it was good and well measures. many decisions announcement about the extension guns that have been sent critics of the government have spoken about how this announcement on does not let mismanagement of a big name that has these national answers had sight of the down instead on security and in we might not have seen or might do just that he saw at the beginning of the lockdown and the feeling is that these migrants mean you have to at the widest from all in center as back to their homes and this is what could have a crippling effect on india as have the stones so there is an expectation that the announcement of the lockdowns extension be a green moderately for a while. the government's been criticized to this point of the pandemic but what is indian strategy going forward now most think of what's happening globally the

extension of the law another key strategy that has developed all of the boss communities is there is that establishment often seen massage it's not what's what's have been recognised now and then and and you want and many more in states with high it was difficult. and it really isn't easy what's what's the scene in this you know must fix the lockdown as other parts of the country why don't you know in other parts of the country i'll step out there to get essential services these people in the stilton demon's aunts cannot step out of problems all essential services will be. got consistent disinfection happening and look like is it. the jobs that quite stringent north was diffuse this should come after it is full weeks the water going to humans or is no longer. in delhi in the mission just well thank you. well the world health organization is warning that lifting restrictions

imposed the crown of virus crosses too early could bring a deadly virus surgeons the united states is close to of a taking infinitely as the country with the world's highest death toll president donald trump says he wants to reopen america as soon as possible but now one 3rd of all global cases on now in the u.s. . passengers have thinned out on new york subways but that snow is sure and to many people who need the ride it's a very frightening experience i mean if i got it. right now yeah like you know there's a lot of hope this morning trying to pull this thing so you've got to wait for the next train getting higher so that's not. you know new york is we don't miss it that's. keeping your distance from others experts agree that social distancing combined with aggressive testing of suspected cases is the fastest way to tackle

coded 19 but there aren't enough tests for the job in new york and elsewhere in the u.s. new york's governor says companies now cannot provide the numbers needed we need. an un precedented mobilization where government can produce these tests in the millions president trump pointed to progress in the numbers of new cases on the other side you have the numbers of beds being used we're just saying are substantially reduced that's usually the sign that it's heading in the downward curve but the death toll continues to mount hundreds in new york die every day hospitals or repurpose in refrigerator trucks as makeshift morgues and in the cities reserved for on mark graves burials have spiked the weekly average is now being reached every day the rise is being attributed to coded 19.

global health officials are warning that nicaragua's president daniel ortega is risking an epidemic in central america by refusing to impose measures to slow the spread of the virus and that brings states have already closed they have borders but ortega's government wants nicaraguans to celebrate easter as normal the administration is encouraging people to attend sporting and cultural events and even keep going to the bitch. and easter procession like every year in defiance of the global pandemic. that. even the pope has warned catholics not to celebrate the holidays and groups but nicaragua is one of the few countries in the world without lockdown measures to slow the spread of the virus. and i like catholic church cancel the possessions and all religious activities but we pilgrims decided to carry on the tradition like we do the year

after year so that it's not lost. a few residents of the capital managua wear face masks otherwise public life here continues largely unchanged schools and shops are open the streets thronged with people. critics of the leftist president daniel ortega want to know what his plan is if the outbreak does hit but ortega is nowhere to be seen some speculate as absence is due to medical problems leaving the government unable to focus on the pandemic is unable because. you know so. they're. here 1st with me. and perhaps the house here really. ortega's wife says he sends nicaraguans his love but some feel left alone will mean more than him ok.

we have to look after each other because honestly the captain has let. the ship as they say. see it can't be done about it. we need a captain. while the number of confirmed cases in nicaragua remains low many here worry it won't stay that way for a long. time to take a look now at some more coronavirus related news from around the world and the united kingdom has seen a record daily death tolls of passing $980.00 people lost their lives in 24 hours made concerns that britain's national health service like stuff into light is and protective clothing. and run the pubs conducted the good friday service without any worship is present the faithful were able to watch a live stream of the easter persuasion francis will also strain his easter message from the seclusion of his product library. well here in germany as many

other countries traditional and spring holidays have a very different feel this year a partial lockdown means no trips to the coast or travelling to made up with family and friends always been out and about in the capital asking berlin is how i plan to spend the holiday weekend. springtime is here usually a time to enjoy the fresh air and generally let some steam off. but the coronavirus has cast its shadow and the holidays are not. supposed to fly to krakow this morning but of course the flight was cancelled the return flight was cancelled certain i believe that we would have had a family get together now we can't. so we'll stay home and 2 or 3 of us will have a small celebration that's. going to a party here in berlin on a saturday that would last probably until monday so that was the plan 'd for is there a holiday. happening anymore so yeah. the corona pandemic

has changed everything the streets and squares around town are almost deserted tourists can't come here and berliners can't get away. children can't even visit their grandparents. how are people coping. we have to improvise now we're going to bake cookies at home that's always fun we'll have to adapt to the situation. you know exploring other parts of the city would be a thing to do by yourself not to many people because you have to sort through this and seen before. and i've been reading to. help a lot in coffee i have to keep focus and not panic and enjoy every day life. is the best time to get out and jiggle that fat get out and do something that makes you happy feel each day with love. usually at this time

of year berlin's tourist attractions are teeming with people. from around the world come here to see the sights and enjoy the night life without them berlin feels like a ghost town. but not all locals think this is a bad thing. cool that i can skate here now the square is completely empty i have so much room if it weren't for the coronavirus i couldn't skate all over the place because it would be crowded with people it's nice to see the city not in a rush and you get to hear other sounds and see other stuff. as a berliner i have to say i like not having. so many tourists around it's like being in a hollywood movie where everyone's had to leave the city. a live shot for loved ones . many berliners are trying to take time out to do nice things during easter and leave their cares behind luckily here in germany in contrast to many other

countries people are still allowed to spend time outdoors they still have to keep their distance but most are trying not to let it get to them. still i wish everyone a happy easter make the best of it happy new. year watching datable the news from berlin more news coming at the top of the album maybe you can always get the latest headlines on the d.w.i. at or on our website at d w dot com you can also follow us on twitter and instagram to f.t.w. news for now matthew how did the ice water. way discover the bow homeschooler co-host world towards men on the w.
