arter all our. documentary stores brain drain w. i am. this is the demi news line from pilin at die a warning from the un's world food programme as the current a virus for its. millions of civilians living in conflict started with including many women and children they still push the break the story breaking with the specter of salman very real dangers possibility so what

if anything can be done also coming up. to go brace for a vaccine a german company has won approval to stop the country's 1st clinical test on an experimental vaccine. and with a virus in china and largely under control given all starting to go back to work we look at some of the unusual techniques they're using to make sure the disease doesn't flare up again. at the video that's won the hearts of tennis fans it shows the dedication up to me tell you the girls who are managing to keep playing while maintaining their social distancing they get help from below when they shot it's special. hello i'm christine wonderwall come to the show the u.n. world food program is sounding the alarm of a food shortage is caused by could have it 19 they hit off the peak david beasley

ses more than 800000000 people already don't have enough to eat and the pandemic could push an additional $130000000.00 to the brink of starvation by the end of the year he says the crisis could take on but equal proportions if the world fails to act. tom is in south sudan trying to ward off the latest invasion chris saw threatening to destroy what crops they have left in a country where hunger response of davey life after years of civil war the majority of south sudanese are already in a state of food crisis now things look set to get even worse last year we had to feed 5000000 people due to fighting and flooding already in 2020 we've had locust invasions and now there is the covert 19 plan demick which we predict could almost double the people in the queue hunger by the end of 2020 across the world.

and those numbers are shocking we're also told the great oh hunger pandemic in addition rule of 130000000 people. could be cush to the break in storage by the end of 2020 that's a total of $265000000.00 people. government lockdowns are taking their toll in brazil it's estimated that up to 40000000 informal work peers have been dragged into extreme poverty handouts here in rio de janeiro are keeping people fed. others are doing whatever they can to survive. that month to do these honestly it's very difficult we're selling food in order to survive my daughter annoying me we're out of work and we're doing this selling food and then i can see. organizations like the un's world food

program are pleading for more funds but with so many countries now battling for economic survival plus a lack of global leadership the fear is that a humanitarian catastrophe could be closer than ever. and now joined by the world food program's the tina lucia she is the organizations chief spokeswoman here in germany hello see you. countries across africa and the middle east are of particular concern which communities in these regions are you worried about most. i think for us we have to think about the men women and children who are really the most wrong able in the world who are in refugee camps who have fled war who's for who have lost children on the way to the refugee camps who are sitting in refugee camps very crowded together how can you do social distancing in a war zone in

a refugee camp where people are so close together so those are the ones that we are most concerned about those are 13000000 people and what the number one thing what we have to do is we have to make sure that we can reach those people you know what we're having is we having the regular hunger problem which is already bigger than ever before and now on top of that we've got the corona virus crisis so it's really brewing to become a perfect storm. with that many humanitarian issues are being the day today as the world deals with this pandemic what would your message be to 2 governments one of the world and to donors to. oh we can't neglect it we have to push forward we need to have support now our people our $18000.00 staff are ready to go we need some $350000000.00 now to fight to start this whole or just to go operation we will help of some 120 countries help them to get nurses doctors

medical supplies and last ventilators few field hospitals this has to happen this week it has to happen now we cannot wait but on top of that we of course need to do our regular work we cannot leave some 137000000 people alone we have to help them there is no way that we can leave them behind because it would be a humanitarian and a hunger pandemic. but neither is it at all possible that some governments really are just cash strapped and cannot afford to to look after hungry people because of the current situation. well i think you know we have big donors germany's are numbered to do all of the united states they are all standing by as i think you know their countries are realizing it's not something that is far away

corona has changed all of us that we had in this trigger and that virus it's been visible it is going around the world you can no longer say like in some other humanitarian crisis all those folks over there we don't have to worry about them and we see the solidarity and we request to slowly. if we leave people in africa or in the middle east alone to deal with this virus and do not help them to survive it could be sustained the virus is going to come back to hit as again in a 2nd wave so to avoid multiple fans the world food program needs still money so that we can continue to feed people who really are totally lost without hurting the team from their will well world food program he's chief spokesperson here in berlin thank you thank you now as worldwide covered 1000 cases search past 2 and a half 1000000 the global race to develop a vaccine is gaining fresh urgency today the german drug firm beyond take one

approval to begin the country's 1st human typical trials of a possible vaccine there are currently dozens of potential candidates in development in europe china and the u.s. but health officials say it will be months before treatment is available. governments across the world have different strategies to battle a pandemic. but they all agree on one thing. elections when the global public health crisis caused by covert 19 will not be completely over on till science finds a vaccine in the long run the best way to defeat corona virus is through a vaccine. the regulations will remain until we have a vaccine and medicine that mainly until we find a vaccine. and. finding a vaccine is crucial to ending the crisis around the world scientists are making progress the pharmaceutical firm in the german city of mines has become the 1st

company in germany to receive a permit to conduct human trials it's me this is only the 5th clinical trial in the world in the quest to find a vaccine good and. it is a milestone. in britain scientists are also racing ahead researchers at oxford university plan to start human trials on thursday the scientists here had a head start they'd already been working on other coronaviruses long before this latest outbreak began when this new virus emerged there was already working on it here in oxford. coronavirus it actually was being trialled humans and so what happened was the genetic code for a new coronavirus was discovered in january of this year and it was possible to go back to that genetic code make these new vaccines very rapidly global investment is

high in the race to find a vaccine the u.k. government has invested 20000000 pounds in this study alone at the same time they want to invest in production capacity so the once a vaccine is available it can be distributed quickly researches in switzerland say they are confident they will soon have a vaccine they hope to start inoculating the entire population by october a very ambitious plan most researchers believe a viable vaccine won't be available until next year at the earliest. now only i spoke to virally just 101 year off lancaster university in the united kingdom i asked him about the upcoming human trials and what they mean for the vaccine timeline. yes the whole manufacturing of vaccine. development. taking it to the human. defense staffs the last 3 steps are really the human trials these are the trials that the vaccine has

developed into the board 3 is the one that is administered into the human to see if it is a fact it is having any side effect or is that any other complication at work bringing aim so most of the word. here at this stage that the clinical trials are being conducted or about to start that is the point. from here on board that is a minimum time of 8 to 12 months so in the best case scenario the vaccine that would become available it would be at the end of this year and this time duration is needed to ensure that the vaccine that is deployed is safe and efficacious and it were known to any harm into the public before it is were put into the market. and just so many let us in on what challenges our research teams facing as they try to create a vaccine for crown a virus. generally speaking for other viruses and it

is that matter all the years for example for ebola it took more than 89 years before a new vaccine became available to the coronavirus the last thing has been that it was since we have seen murders and a saucepan of ice as before we have gathered so much information that has really expedited the whole process of developing a vaccine for kobe 19 so as it stands now there is no any challenge in terms of vaccine development but there are a few things that are coming up we interesting in despair called the 19 the hasn't been observed in previous call of viruses was the extent of the immunity in the people who are recovered as fully as we are seeing now people who are recovering have recovered they are being reinfected and if that is the case that we're pose a challenge on to the efficacy of the vaccine in the data required all that we need to administer the vaccines into the human to see if that can protect against so overall progress is pretty good moving on to be fast on a on president

a level we haven't seen such a loss meant in the vaccine development having history that we have seen now which you say that there is more competition and then there is cooperation in the global race to develop a vaccine. well certainly there is a completion ongoing between different countries to take the lead into the development of the vaccine and to deploy in the field but i've since iowa to work on that the vaccine over emphasis should not be on to the competition because i would competition is now a bit the disease bit the virus so and that's what a global effort consolidated effort is certainly required to collate all those expertise from different corners of the world so that we can make the best candidates that soon become available in the shortest possible diets and also to ensure that those vaccines are affective and can be deployed in the order they don't need discrimination right that stops them hammad when farrelly just talking to us from lancaster in the united kingdom thank you. let's have

a look now at other coronavirus news the number of coronavirus states in europe has an l. pos 110000 the west hit continent currently has more than 1200000 confirmed cases spain which has europe's 2nd tie a standstill off to italy has reported and absent in for tennessee's for a 2nd day to africa way south africa plans to deploy more than $70000.00 additional troops to enforce its strict lock down that's in place until at least the end of the month and the u.s. state of missouri has filed a lawsuit against china saying beijing tried to cover up the danger posed by the virus. now china is battling a new outbreak off the corona virus in its north east local infections in the city of hobbit close to the border with russia went up to $52.00 yesterday with most new cases coming from abroad but elsewhere the virus appears to be under control from

beijing to the former epicenter that will haunt people going back to work but as we report life looks different to how it was before and fears of a 2nd wave remain. high up in a beijing office tower work at robotics firm cloud mines is resuming but employees 1st have to pass a series of checks their clothes and shoes are disinfected and their temperatures are measured facial recognition ensures that only current employees can enter these controls are the firm's own in addition it's abiding by regulations issued by beijing city government so that its 300 employees can return to work as long as we can keep. your distance and 2.5 square metres space for every stock base office is open for everyone so no contact less. first choice this is number one priority in the face to face this 2nd so this exchange are way off live for

staff there are fewer meetings but for the robots there's plenty to do. this dancing robot has been sent to a clinic in lieu han to get patients moving again. other types are used to transport food and medicine to wards treating active cases. still others clean and disinfect. in the epicenter of the corona outbreak production is also starting again workers at this honda factory are adjusting to a new normal after 11 weeks of closure. out. both supplier foxconn is putting its 800000 employees back to work across china. its corporate t.v. channel explains the new safety measures twice daily temperature readings everyone in masks in the cafeteria people behind dividers they scan a q.r.

code so the company knows who ate here and at what time total surveillance is the new normal but some of servers are skeptical about the long term prospects. see pretty close to normal economic activity i started happening but we do anticipate a 2nd wave of virus attack in the 4th quarter and if that happens then it's pretty much the 1st quarter all over again the economic activity will be halted back in beijing cloud mines is hoping for an end to the core and he rules so there are sites in china and the u.s. can resume normal cooperation will help every day there would be progress on the free flow of people in the free flow of products or lodges sticks and this will definitely help the business to be back to normal we do hope the government will

look into this issue and i hope order business to be able to flow of course under safe environment but the business has to grow. china's recovery may have begun but it still has a long way to go. now here's a look at other stories making headlines around the world international oil prices have fallen to their lowest level since 1990 pinning fears of a global economic downturn brain crude dropped 12 percent to below $17.00 a barrel the slump follows 2 of the wildest days of oil trading history as supply continues to outpace demand $60000000.00 more people signed up to netflix during the 1st 3 months of this year it's the streaming platforms fastest ever rate off user growth and it's largely because of coronavirus lockdowns netflix now has more than $180000000.00 subscribers worldwide. firefighters in northeastern poland are struggling to contain a wildfire in its biggest national park fish the park is home to raise species such

as elk some 6000 hits his have been destroyed so far in the blaze that broke out on sunday the country has been suffering from extremely dry weather for months through the british government say 700. 59 more people have died from 19 in the u.k. hospitals taking the official figure to more than 18000 but the country's financial times newspaper puts that figure. at 40000 images that the official numbers are far below the actual. the government has been consistently criticized for its handling of the crisis. and the protective equipment for its health workers. and for more on this i'm joined by potts from the british capital hello shot to so the financial times is reporting a death toll that's double what the government is what sources are they quoting

well the department of health officially gives the death toll every day and that only includes people who have died in the hospital so that doesn't include deaths in care homes across the country or in communities and private homes now the financial times was looking at numbers from the office of statistics quoting numbers from the 1st week of april so a couple of weeks ago already and the statistics office reported excess deaths so more deaths than in any of the previous years compared and the financial times calculated that the number of people that have now died. in the u.k. stands at double the official amount over 40000 people. what's the feeling among people in the british public do they have confidence in the way that their government has been had the pandemic. well at the moment here in london you do hear more ambulances than they used to be played

and i think many people perceptions of their governments have changed i think many people have lost trust in their government one of the big problems here is still remains testing only. cases at the hospitals are being tested so that means there is a an enormous number of thing that they just can't protect themselves when they have 1000 patients same counts for care homes and we now know that over $100.00 doctors nurses and caretakers have died of 19 the youngest a 28 year old pregnant. all right that's in london thank you to another european country that's been hard hit by the pandemic it's coming up to 6 weeks since the start of spain's lockdown which has been described as europe's strictest they're all glimmers of hope finding a better return to some normality is on the horizon this week and children will be allowed out of their homes to play for the 1st time since the start off 5 minutes

off to public pressure on the government. to tell us more about this joins me from his home in berlin so how exactly did the public in spain manage to pressure the government to loosen those really strict mischa's. well 1st and foremost christine there was an announcement by the government day don't choose day that children would be allowed i basically to accompany their parents to the bank to the supermarket to the pharmacy which was immediately you know took many people in spain by surprised because they asked themselves but why would that make any sense surely children what they want to do is quite play and what they don't want to be doing is you know they want to be don't want to go into a supermarket so immediately people took to social media expressing their anger and then at 7 o'clock in the evening there was this plan to basically find parts in crow test and also you know the gorgon ization in the association of pediatric

doctors in spain and said that it wasn't a good idea and also other organizations that represents every present family said that it wasn't a good idea i'm basing what happened was on choose day evening then the health minister came out to say that actually children would be allowed out but he would explain that i give further details in the coming day and days over exactly what exactly that would entail. and how have parents spent been managing just having their children at home since mid monch well it's very difficult of course for parents you know that's a 1st step we need to split it up into 2 parts kids up to 14 years of age are essentially what the minister was referring to kids between 14 and 18 now when i was there and i go out with their parents to do you know a bit of shopping or go and do those things that i was saying before like go to the buy go to the pharmacy but i think the best thing to do is let's hear from actually a parent in the trade who sent this slight report of how life has been for them

about the government is rectified the measures so we're not going to go out with our children we can go for walks for one hour a day of children complaining it's still unclear if they will be able to jump run or play with the bowl of another. i think this could have been done sooner by appealing to the parents' sense of responsibility. by that we a spanish people are quite tired of the situation we're struggling to understand why we have to continue living in such a radical form of confinement and children are certainly those who are suffering the most basic them and. belonging as a a bubble is there a hostile to return to some normality for life in spain when of course the lockdown has now been extended essentially till the 9th of may it's more or less a given and then i after that it's very unclear what exactly is going to happen but spaniards are more and more demanding they want answers they want to know when the

confinement is going to be the government are saying to be patient that's the hardest part you know it's essentially we're in that we're still in it and thought that after the 9th of may spaniards are hoping that the confinement will ease ever so slightly all right that's public yes reporting for us they thank you it's now to the story of 2 young tennis players and it's the who what challenge by they could find a way to stay in shape during the lockdown they hit the roof tops and there if it's have now gone viral. all on one side of the street 11 year old carola is itching to go. on the other side 13 year old victoria is getting there working her way to the rooftop of her apartment building. once there a pause it's raining carroll has been hitting the ball on her indoor court she is ready. and now so is victoria serious social distancing but stay clear of
