weekend germans to break the lock down rule small the country's most prestigious science academies saying it's time to stop or should seek the few restrictions. they might add lock anniversary marked by isolation instead of. new york's metropolitan museum council celebrations for its 150. hello i'm christine welcome to the program india's nationwide coronavirus walked on the biggest in the world as being extended until at least may 3rd the current restrictions have been in place for 3 weeks and wish to end at midnight on tuesday but in the nationwide t.v. address prime minister narendra modi said that although the cost to the economy had been high the lives of the people of india will fall more valuable he did make one consolation saying maybe some easing in

a week's time to help daily wage and as and farm work is money are sure is seat of the house fun and in daily good morning to human error so what else did mr modi say . well as you all just heard the lockdown the national lockdown had been extended to me taught today in fact with the last day of the new show the clock down to the prime minister or the in the tele ways address have announced that it has been extended for a few more days and he has also made it very very clear that the measures will be strict a much stricter much of the guidelines will be implemented in the extension of what was required right now as he saw a number of you know rise in the number of cases a more calibrated awful it was a flight and i think i missed him when he has left a window open for that what he has announced and that is that the next one week is really important in this one week much stricter guidelines will be implemented every single area of the country will be very very carefully scrutinized and in the

area of which are able to control the spread in which no new cases emerge the areas that you do not lead hotspots of the cases of the white has been formed some relaxation will be allowed in those areas some economic activity will be allowed to zoom in those areas although what those activities are is not clear yet so the coming one week is really really important and then secondly the detail guidelines of what we can expect from this extension will be reviewed by the government and what's been the reaction. well i still sort of gauge their reactions but overall people are in support of this decision local leaders of with tools that missed him while he was holding discussions over the past one week they were already coming out in the open and saying that we supported the extension even before it was announced today so one that had extended had ordered extension and that all countries in the past few days only medical it person also saying they are in favor of the lockdown being extended but that is the sectional for opposition

and the critics who are saying that. is a big problem is also who's problem in the country and we need more proactive steps to ensure that what of the poor and the most one little section of the people do not support a double whammy off the widest angle starvation so some opposition leaders have also criticize they tweeted out immediately after the address was over that no specifics on the financial aid for these poor people were announced again by the by i missed him or the so in the coming few days beneath the might we can expect some more guidelines to be reviewed by the government and in that aspect as well. what is the situation in india at the moment around the crown of ash just how severe is the outbreak there. as far as the number of cases are concerned we have been seeing a rise in the number of cases even when down a nationwide law was announced when the clinical some of the number of reported going from number of cases were less than 600 in that many people many experts are

saying the long done with unknowns well ahead in time but still we are single outdrives in the number of case of the rise in the number of ports forts and what we're up to remember is that in the other countries of the very very high population density we have thousands of people living found in small areas and slummy the other social distancing is not at all possible limited of course not done was announced many critics criticize it for saying that it was not that evo plan and so a lot masak soldiers of migrant workers going back to their villages also be getting the way this with them so in terms of that many exports are also saying that india has not seek not seen its peak in the number of soviet yet is still preparing for that and the coming one began to be very important to see things done there aren't many shoulder in delhi for us thank you in the us president donald trump has defended he has said ministrations heading off the crisis saying the spread of the virus is slowing but at his daily news briefing rounded on

journalists who questioned his actions he once again accused the media of spreading fake news meanwhile the governor of new york andrew cuomo believes the worst could be over for his state. has been the state hardest hit by cars at 19 and it was also data on monday by bad weather. health care workers had to contend with heavy rain and high winds at this emergency tent facility in central park and they were not the only ones weathering a storm in washington u.s. president donald trump faced criticism over his handling of the crisis at his daily press briefing the president surprised journalists with what some are calling a propaganda video defending his response. then he went on the offensive. and remember this everything we did i was criticized because it was too early. if i waited longer it would have been. if i

went way early if i went 3 months earlier i would have been criticized you know criticize for being way too early. i think. i've educated a lot of people as to the press and i would love to be able to say that we have a very 'd honest press. said as administration with finalizing a plan to reopen the u.s. economy when questioned on who would decide on relaxing lockdown rules trump said he would be calling the shots it's a decision for the president the united states with that being said we're going to work with the states because it's very important several state governors on the east and west coasts are discussing the best way to open their economies and ease stay at home orders new york governor andrew cuomo seem to suggest he thought it should be largely up to individual states not the president. he left it to the states to close down and that was state by state this issue without any

guidance really he took the position that it was a state's decision and then the states were responsible for purchasing supplies etc with infection numbers in new york beginning to play the colts to loosen the lock down or getting louder but the road back to normalcy will be a long one. here in germany the question is how soon could begin lifting the lockdown the country's influential national academy of sciences has recommended that some of the restrictions imposed to contain the current virus could begin to mess up their report came as the number of new confident cases in germany fell for the 5th day running. blame it on the sunshine germans flocked to nearby lakes in parks to soak it all in over the east a long weekend police patrolled popular areas but found most were bang the restrictions. as long as it's necessary i think the rules of fine health has to

come 1st and life. would definitely be good at some point we need to start earning money again. this soon may be coming germany's most influential science academy has recommended the lockdown slowly be lifted. primary and secondary schools would gradually reopen with the extra precautions in place and if so should distancing rules are enforced stores and restaurants could follow the academy says the government should also make it mandatory to wear face masks in public. we can learn from our neighbors in asia and i think mouth knows protection must become a social standard for months. politicians say yet to agree on how quickly the lockdown should be lifted does we're moving there surely must continue to look at what effect it has on the number of infections in some places we may have to

reimpose certain restrictions in the coming months. chancellor angela merkel is due to hold a video conference call with the state's leaders on wednesday. with the restrictions set to expire on sunday she says the academy's position move play a role in deciding germany's path forward. so we've invited a lot of books on to the program she's a member of the german ethics council and joins me from berlin hello any good to see do you think germany should be talking about easing the current restrictions. i do. because directions. but they do have very heavy costs not just economic but also social psychological and so on and i think it's an ethical imperative to start thinking about how we can transition back to some form off normality as soon as possible how we can do that responsibly

your organization as we say the gym if it's council has one that some vulnerable people have been neglected because of the restrictions in place do you mean except . there are very many in this we think of our patients who don't get treated currently if they don't have life threatening illnesses. we have had reports of people dying alone without support visits a lot of care because it cannot be given obviously some of the very vulnerable groups such as homeless people are affected it would hear about violence rising in families but i'm also concerned about for example young children who have now not been having social contacts for a long time which is important for their development and we have to think about care homes people who live already in a quite isolated situation so there are very many groups. impacted on

by these distractions which is why it is important to think about what kinds of cathal steps we can take to ease restrictions to make it better for these groups. germany's chancellor and get a medical is a scientist herself have you have you seen that show through in the way that she's led the german government's response to the coronavirus crisis where she sat listens to science i think that's been quite obvious over the last weeks and moms and she said in advance to this paper being published that it was a very important study for her decision making so she will surely take it into account in her decisions. elena books from the german if it's council thank you for that insight thank you it's. all right and

it's time now to take a look at the news around the world south korea's military says north korea has launched several missiles into the sea of japan the south claims pyongyang fired both cruise missiles and it to ground rockets the launch comes just days off the north korean state media showed me to kim jong un visiting an airbase. in fact government says its forces have captured 2 coastal cities from rival militia backing the opposition warlord to the conflict has intensified in recent weeks despite growing international pressure to halt the fighting. israel's president has granted prime minister binyamin netanyahu and his rival any guns more time to form a new governments they now have 2 more days in which to overcome their differences in coalition totals and guns have campaigned against each other in 3 inconclusive elections in the past year. and amazon is hiring an extra

and the storage space in santiago de compostela to hide the items origin europol the european police author already has had its hands full for weeks 3 big developments the 1st one is going to feeding groups that is really that woman stick there secondly we see a real shift in cyber crime and there are the use of the rebel groups that go to 3 big areas. until now. special interests are organized crime groups. counterfeit face masks like these confiscated by italian police are being sold online at exaggerated prices but they were not produced to medical standards in a sterile environment europol has already taken down more than 2500 websites and online shops detaining more than 120 people behind them criminal enterprises have become highly creative in the pandemic of what we see. organized crime to the

u.s. the opportunity because new used the fear of the people and used effect that will need answers to their questions and they want to protect themselves. but it's not just criminals taking advantage of people's fear the n.r.a. the american gun lobby has launched an online campaign encouraging people to arm themselves. i am one of the millions of americans. to the deadly coronavirus i hope i survive the coronavirus that's up to go. with them my control is how i defend myself if things go from bad to worse you might be wondering why i'm holding. out in march americans pont 2 and a half 1000000 weapons that's 85 percent more than

a year ago but the fear of increased criminal activity during this crisis is not matched by actual figures according to police in most major cities worldwide even new york or los angeles there's been a dramatic drop in the number of crimes including murder and break ins. but on the italian island of sicily and in other countries criminals are taking advantage of people's financial strain and other difficulties they set out to plunder supermarkets which is why police have been stationed to protect them the mayor of naples has warned that wherever citizens are unable to pay their bills because of the lockdown the mafia is mercilessly stepping in to take advantage of the situation i'm not joined by you see a bit she's senior analyst at the global initiative against transnational organized crime she's based in london hello how all coronavirus struck downs impacts

organized crime. well for some criminal groups cave it presents an opportunity for all those an operational challenge criminal groups are extremely flexible and they move towards where the greatest profits are and as we've heard medical mosques are one of these areas then for example we've seen a number of dark net accounts originating in china that traditionally stoned synthetic drugs now advertising mosques as the chemicals required to manufacture the least in jugs have become more expensive and due to cave in supply chain restrictions mosques have become nearly profitable to some groups they've seen their traditional revenues dry up for example for many gangs in central america extortion is a key source of revenue when they take a percentage of the profits of the businesses in exchange for protection however with cave it was directions non-essential businesses have shot and gang members

can't go to collect the extortion payments so your force men have track to shift into other activities to plant as revenue caps light drugs trafficking all that predicting moved into cyber crime. and speaking off the primacy of the law enforcement agency europol say is that there's been a spike in cyber crime why would that be happening there are a number of reasons and the public fear that it has created off as an opportunity for cyber criminals including in the fullness phishing scams which we've seen a huge surge of now we've seen this happen with other public health emergencies like a boat. but kind of it is an unprecedented global much of cyber crime requires relatively limited tech skills you can buy phishing card online for the next hill is $50.00 so it is feasible for some criminal act is he see the usual activities become more difficult to move into cyber crime this is very quickly how volatile

what's going on in terms of human trafficking. so with human trafficking the vulnerability of many is set to increase and natural exploitation by criminal groups with human smuggling which is slightly different and is more to do with regular migration we've seen a temporary decrease in activity due to me restrictions but also a fear of contagion i'm on smugglers and migrants we've seen some changes in routes sorry for example morocco land routes have almost completely stopped maritime routes almost certain the smuggling facilitated continue and we may see some that moving by land shift to see that we'll see lots of migrants stuck in transit and then they run out of funds because this wasn't planned for and budgets and become highly vulnerable to exploitation by criminal groups finally although every may see this temporary lull the drive is for movement has not disappeared in fact. and the

many lives that have dissipated they may well have increased so we're expecting some in movement much of it irregular given that legal pathway is shrinking much of it smuggler facilitated and this means a swelling of smuggling profits let's say of it in london thank you. now monday was the 100 and 58th birthday of new york's prestigious metropolitan museum of art in the precursor on a calendar the day was supposed to be filled with fanfare and style but the lockdown has put an end to the celebrations as well as not having a party that matches white about having enough cash to pay its staff. new york's metropolitan museum of art usually teeming with visitors while by its exhibits and the venue of the glamorous met ball today its famous steps are empty its anniversary celebrations canceled the interior abandoned

a short walk away in central park doctors treat patients suffering from cope with 19 members in seeing that there's a field hospital in central park it's not appropriate for us to be celebrating ourselves what's important now is what can we do what can we give back to society. numerous video conferences have resulted in this a digital museum accessible from home. to us through 5000 years of art history instead of reading hours picture books videos for children social media challenges daring fans to reenact works of art the crisis hits branch staying relevant seen private foundations privately financed. it is certainly a wealthy institution with many sponsors who are supporting us now but if we have to remain close for many more months possible for us to keep all of our stuff on. the salaries of the mets 2000 employees are safe until the start of may the museum
