a child reach is standing by for us he is a hard spawn and in daily high c. and many are so listening to prime minister modi the he is convinced that he has managed the crisis in the right way to people feel the same well the larger understanding of the country is in support of the log and also of the extension of love down which was announced today in his address but there are a section of people that are critics of the opposition leaders who are saying that you went into the address the prime minister missed out on so in some important moment question you missed out on giving some specific details about the financial aid packages to be given to the walls were a little bit the action of the society especially to the migrant workers who we saw after the last long downs as announcement saw a monster thoughtless of them moving back to their religious and 1000 because they ran out of money and they ran out of their livelihood options so in that way why the country is in support of the announcement of long down in the country so things

that do control the spread of the wires as long down as important there are still questions which remain to be answered tell us some more about the about the locks on extension and then the easing of the rules that promise to modi announced for some people in the coming week. well as it was announced the lockdown had been extended to me it could but as you said the coming one we will be really important in this coming one week as was announced much ticked a measured will be implemented every single area in the country will be scrutinized properly and carefully and in the meeting us which are which are able to control the spread in which no new cases emerge on the new fox sports image there is a chance that the restrictions will be relaxed in those areas and at least some economic activity will be allowed to even though we do not nor does activities levy this he announced in his address he was taking the spoil to help the one little section specially the daily rejoin those who can step out and get some money and go

out and get some money for food for their families which as we have heard in the past support many families many of these people are saying that they are getting out of food as well so in that this window that the prime minister has opened does hold a lot of relevance but more details about the guidelines and night lines of the logged on will be announced later. just talk to us about the impact of the virus not me how many cases does india have how many does have been reported and how is the health sector coping well india has been seeing a rapid drives in the number of cases and the hotspots which are emerging across the country even though the law of dung was announced when there were less than $600.00 confirmed reported cases we still are seeing the rise in the number of cases in the address today prime minister did announce that we have ramped up our health insurance and our ability to get up the petition when the peak does a medical experts say that india has not seen its peak yet the we are the

government is saying that they're trying to wrap up to deal with the situation when that arises but still there are reports coming all are in the us but doctors are saying that did not have enough to do not have enough equipment available right that's. daily thank you. the u.s. president donald trump has defended his administration's handling of the crisis saying the spread of the virus is slowing but at his daily news for a faint donald trump branded 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 new york has been the state hardest hit by covered 19 and it was also battered 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. but. then he went on the offensive. and remember this everything we did i was criticized because i was too early. if i waited longer it would have been included 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 honest press. said is an 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 or does 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 lockdown a getting louder but the road back to normalcy will be a long one. so we've compiled some of the latest developments on the coronavirus for you singapore has recorded its biggest daily jump in new infections most of the

cases on which to foreign work has living in crowded dormitories southeast asian leaders have met via video link to discuss a strategy for dealing with the economic fallout of the outbreak all straight ahead it's rocked on misha's allowing small shops to reopen strict social distancing rules remain in force and france has extended its work done until may 11th president emmanuel cron sais some restrictions may be lifted then as long as there's no increase in new infections. here in germany the question of the hour is how soon the authorities might begin lifting the lockdown the influential national academy of sciences has recommended that some of the restrictions imposed to contain the corona virus could begin to be eased their report came as the number of new confirmed cases in germany fell for the day running. blame it on the sunshine germans flocked to nearby lakes and

pocks 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 from your life your last flight losing would definitely be good at some point you need to start earning money again and get freddy in the syrian maybe 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 i think mouth nose protection must become

a social standard for months. politicians say yet to agree on how quickly the lockdown should be lifted. we must continue to look at what effect it has on the number of infections in some places we may have to re impose certain restrictions in the coming months and the reason. 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 elaine a good to see you do you think germany should be talking about easing the current restrictions. i do. because actions. 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 of 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 who do you mean exactly. 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 and palliative 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 restrictions which is why it is important to think about what kinds of careful 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 lived the german government's response to the coronavirus crisis where she said listens to science i think that's been quite obvious over the last weeks and mom's 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. in a books from the german ethics council thank you for that insight. thank you it's it's time now to look at the news around the world south korea's military ses north korea has launched several missiles into the sea of japan the south claims and fired both cruise missiles and to ground rockets as excuse me the launch comes just days off the north korean state media showed me to kim jong un a visiting an airbase. china's foreign trade fell last month even as businesses gradually got back to work exports fell by 87 percent and added this fear there is worse to come china's trading partners are still being devastated by the corona crisis. libya's u.n. back up and ses its forces have captured 2 coastal cities from rival militias

backing the opposition warlord and if i have to the conflict has intensified in recent weeks despite growing international pressure to halt the fighting. meanwhile spain is partially loosening its walk down allowing some construction and factory workers to return to the job the move comes as the number of new cases appears to be slowing the government hopes the easing will boost an economy betted by the slow down. sanctions 1st steps toward life after lockdown in madrid these workers are back on the job for the 1st time in weeks they've been allowed to return to work in hopes of getting the country's economy back on its feet even with coated 19 still claiming hundreds of lives every day it's a tight rope backed the prime minister said was necessary. i mean nothing the virus threatens to take lives and at the same time crushed the economic and social fabric of our country which is why this decision requires

a combination of measures to prevent contagion to allow the recovery of the health system and to avoid the paralysis and collapse of our economy in a short and bloomers the pace. of nearly a 1000000 jobs have been wiped out since spain went into lockdown in mid march employers say nothing now to reopen businesses while observing strict safety measures could prevent more job losses. for more than you and so far the company has not had to consider laying off workers we are going to try to get all the activity going again and keep the jobs that way before the over. all workers are wearing masks and gloves we have stocked up on sanitizer and we are actively looking for more mosques because we don't know how many times they can be really used but at the moment we all have enough that a moment to remember the most part of us but. yet even as pain moves cautiously

toward reopening the economy sobering reminder is of covert nineteen's terrible toll persist in madrid these doctors and nurses paid tribute to a colleague who contract the virus he was one of the many health workers around the world who have died trying to save others during the pandemic. now china has approved the stage for 2 experimental vaccines to combat the new virus the project type vaccines are being developed by a chinese american joint venture scientists all over the world in a race to develop a vaccine although they always make that an effective one is likely to be a long way off the his a report on the work of a team at the university of bad in switzerland. this liquid could hold the solution to ending the current pandemic it contains bacteria that may produce a corona virus vaccine the 1st tests carried out on my skiff promising results

swiss immunologist martin at the university of barron is leading an international team of investigators they've been producing harmless particle copies from the corona virus these copies cause the body to produce antibodies which can then fight the virus. of these circles is a copy and they all look the same and this is important for producing a vaccine. researchers at a biotech start up near syria are taking a different approach they want to develop a drug with blood taken from people who've recovered from the corona virus because they carry antibodies that neutralize it but they're not easy to find every little white dot is an antibody there are millions in the body but not all of them are effective. looking for a needle in a haystack we got 2000000 of these antibody producing cells from the patient today

we estimate that one in every 10000 can be used against the corona virus. there are currently more than 50 research teams around the world working on a vaccine they're hoping for a shortened approval process to bring the vaccines to the market as soon as possible. full fraud status fear is an easy resource to exploit criminals trafficking in fake products take advantage of people who are afraid especially appearing at pandemic they advertise what they call miracle drugs against the virus all cell put the produced protective masts for enormous profit so phony gucci handbags have been replaced by fake medical gear. 2000000 facemasks protective clothing and disinfectant confiscated by the spanish police all these goods were stolen their market value around 5000000 euros the fraudsters intended to repackage everything and the storage space in santiago de compostela to

use the opportunity because new used. and used the fact that. there are 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. who is vulnerable to the deadly coronavirus i hope i survive the coronavirus that's up to . my control how i defend myself if things go from bad to worse you might be wondering why i'm holding. 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 criminals who don't break into homes because people are sheltering in place turn to crime online or traffic and not approved facemasks. i'm not joined by. senior analyst at the global initiative against transnational organized crime is based in london hello how all coronavirus struck downs impacts organized crime. well just some criminal groups created presents an opportunity for all that is 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 and for example we've seen a number of dark net accounts originating in china the traditional lease owned

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 find 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 kavan restrictions non-essential businesses have shot and gang members can't go to collect to be extortion payments so your force men have track to shift into other activities to plant as revenue gap. drugs trafficking or that predicting move into cyber crime a and speaking of cyber crime you see 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. but kind of it is unprecedented global much of cyber crime requires relatively limited tech skills you can buy phishing card online for the next list $50.00 so it is feasible for some criminal actions who see their usual activities become more difficult to move into cybercrime. is a very quickly alcohol to what's going on in terms of human trafficking. so we have human trafficking the vulnerability of many is set to increase and therefore exploitation by criminal groups with human smuggling which is slightly different and is more to do with regular migration we seen a temporary decrease in activity to you to move in restrictions but also

a fear of contagion smugglers and migrants we've seen some changes in routes so for example in morocco land routes have almost completely stopped but 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 over there we may see this temporary lull to drive us from movement have not disappeared in fact. and the many livelihoods dissipated they may well have increased so we're expecting surge in movement much of it irregular given that legal pathways are shrinking much of it smugglers facilitate it and this means a swelling of smuggling profits let's say a bit in london thank you. this week marks the 100 and 58th birthday
