w. . this is deep this is d.w. news live from a global mental health crisis looms as the result of coronavirus the united nations warns that millions of people surrounded by death and disease and forced into isolation and poverty pandemic are suffering mental stress also on the program. the u.k. has the highest covered 19 death toll in europe but why do business people from ethnic minorities face a much higher risk from the disease that others. i'm glad to know on a pandemic rollercoaster 1st it opens up and closes down because of

a surge in infections a many other countries will have to do the same. i'm still going to welcome to the program the united nations has warned of a global mental health crisis brought on by the coronavirus pandemic u.n. secretary general on turn your good terrorist says governments and health officials need to act quickly to manage the psychological suffering of millions and lock down unemployed or working on the front lines of the medical emergency. her name is neville many. and she's been fighting coronavirus on the front lines in albania for more than 2 months. but enormous passion or sacrifice. colonel embarrassed for this midwest to have a 15 month old daughter. on

the internet i also have a 10 year old son and i have parents who could be at risk because they also have other health issues and that scared me. to the things that we did. at this washington d.c. food bank the hardship is economic with millions laid off and school meals gone with the lessons families are also struggling to cope with the mental stress brought on by hunger because right now i'm struggling with sal i have meaningful steps that it's really in that much every little bit helps keep the house on steady now the united nations is argin governments to be proactive. the covered $1000.00 pandemic is not we think families and communities with additional mental stress those most at risk are front line else workers older people

a dollar sense and young people those with preexisting mental conditions and those caught up in conflict and crisis we must help them and stand by them. psychologists in the u.k. who are trying to help don't all creating a number of cartoons to help families manage the additional sure enough locked up to do with their us all the early. and that's not a surprise really when you think. members of the support group for people suffering from depression are by paul are normally me tom bone dry beach but social distancing rules have forced them on life sharing there are stories i see not feel alive you know that it actually put some perspective on your own life and i think perspective is really important. certainly of these times now and it's a fresh outlook that international body see is now vital to ensure its horrific 19

doesn't leave millions more struggling with mental health problems. dr deborah casto is director of the world health organization is mental health and substance abuse division welcome to day w. dr before this pandemic hit mental health services were often underfunded compared to physical health services so what more does the w.h.o. want countries to do on top of spending billions on bailing out their economies. well some of those billions should be used to. develop mental health services where they were not when when you were making your comments i would think it would actually you know if globally 2 percent of the health but it goes to mental health which is very low percentage if we can see then that 30 percent of the disability is a straight it went ahead on the show and so what we need is to use this as an

opportunity in this crazy same in as any opportunity to build. a system where mental health issues are going to be considered. physical conditions so without action on the mental health front what sort of long term effects do you anticipate. well there there they didn't number of of for cincinnati is but 1st of all i would say is this effort in cell phone of people affected by these conditions we have mortar dramatic examples coming from for example the economy grace is in 2008 where in some countries they were talking about death of despair when our people were a dying by suicide or order of drug abuse due to the economic. situation and the impact that that was having in their midst and helped said we don't want to get there we want to do what needs to be done enough that to provide

this report that is needed like in some of the examples that you have and mentioned in the service you see it. rationally what you say makes sense but we were these were these a strange times and we're dealing with government some quite often. principally concerned with what is in front of them what can be seen in this v. emergency that you are talking about is often unseen quite often until it's too late so do you anticipate having much success with your call. well we hope that this is going to make our countries realize how serious the situation is if we do not take action then we will have a huge percentage of people that will be and seriously affected that we have an impact in the economy of the country if we're to move the country is. that well being and in front of these phrases they want to find

a way to overcome it and to to go. move forward with a with their economy and their situation then taking care of the of their mental health of the book religion is also a key component because you we're talking you know american situations one in 5 persons are having a mental health condition in and in studies done in humanitarian crisis countries in conflict one in in 5 if we do some estimation of that number 2 compared to the number of current prices the number this is really big you can't afford any no country cannot can't afford to have all those people out of the workforce receiving . attention can it's way more expensive but as i said i don't mean in kind of the i'm talking about phenomenal numbers that w.i. turns emergency directs emergency start to mike ryan says

a covered 19 may never go away what does he mean by that. well you should ask that gradually end but meaning that it could take some time in that the 2 if. divide is over and so what i am concerned about is what are the implications then for this is a you'd see if we need to change the way we do things if we need to change the way we interact with each other if we need to. change the way we used to water we used to go to school we used to have fun all that would have implications for me a fast for most of the hopefully we were no doubt and we will overcome and we will be resilient but many others will not and we have impact in the admin to help us in thank you for your time thank you for joining us dr deborah castor oil from the world health organization regulation thank you so more of the latest

developments in the corona virus pandemic and now the e.u. medicines agency says a vaccine for the virus could be ready in a year's time in an optimistic scenario this comes as a global death toll from the virus approaches 300000 russia now has more than 250000 confirmed cases of caseload has risen dramatically in the last month the good russia also has the 2nd highest number of cases in the world behind the u.s. japan's left in the coronavirus state of emergency ahead of shut julie most of the country and it says a decision to open the rest of the country will be made next week the u.k. has europe's highest death toll from coverage 19 more than 30000 people that have died of the disease since a pandemic began and a disproportionate number of them are from ethnic minorities for example a black people in the u.k. are 4 times as likely to die from coffin 1000 as white people that's according to analysis by the office for national statistics short of pots reports from london.

dr business has had enough which is why she came here to downing street to protest even though she's 6 months pregnant she had to fight for protective hospital because it just wasn't enough. i'm here today for the doctors nurses and health care workers who lost their lives tragically and senselessly to pull over more than 200 health care workers have died in britain so far 2 thirds of them were ethnic minorities. here in the united kingdom data has shown that the virus does indeed discriminate even though everybody has access to free health care experts are unsure about the reasons but say they vary from overcrowded housing to preexisting medical conditions what is clear though is that covert 19 reveals long standing existing inequalities in british society which rings true in this multiethnic

neighborhood of brixton one of the colbert hot spots in the capital patients and hospitals across the country a 4 times more likely to die from coronavirus and white ones most people here where and have changed their behavior. much more carefully than bork march. i mean those are just a good search. engine is something that is killing everybody and i just need to keep myself or my family safe that's the main thing so i don't i don't know i'm not focused on the fact that it's black a dying i don't even harbor nothing more nothing grow gratis. so far medics and experts haven't figured out why minorities in the u.k. a so disproportionately affected by covert 19 the government launched an inquiry last month there's also been discussion of shielding minorities from front line jobs and an realistic approach some say isn't it can all make priorities but we're

all limited social actions all these crimes and. it's all very well. you need a way from other people's forests but if it's a choice between that and earning a living. some people will be presented with with with the right. back at downing street dr mina this hopes to encourage others to also speak up to prevent more deaths of ethnic minority patients and her colleagues. are german nonprofit organization has developed an app inviting former health professionals to return to help in the fight against the pandemic so far the health care system in germany has coped well but the aim is to keep it running smoothly in case things take a turn for the worst. a step back into her past.

it's almost 10 years since she quit nursing for a job in i.t. . but when the coronavirus pandemic hit germany she decided that she wanted to help . she now works one day a month out of eventers hospital in berlin. i wanted to make myself useful and i wanted to help even just a little bit. i can still do a lot of course i'm not up to date with the very latest but with many things it is just a matter of learning the new procedures the doctor out and yeah she found her way back to nursing via a platform called revolt and health or in english we want to help it was developed by the berlin based health care nonprofit meddling 10000 people have so far registered mostly nurses and doctors germany's hospital system is not overwhelmed by the pandemic but the platforms founders say it provides an emergency resource should the situation worsened. get out we have built

a pool of people with serve on health and that can be ready to start working in case the situation changes and more staff is needed in the hospitals if that happens we are ready and we can send stuff to the hospitals and nursing homes. on the ship. germany's writ of new cases has been consistently falling for weeks now. but there are still fears of a 2nd wave. either way peter rick and an army of others are there ready to help. take a quick look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world will start in burundi which is old of the expulsive a team of world health organization experts coordinating the country's response to the pandemic the w.h.o. has previously voiced concerns about crowded political rallies ahead of their own this presidential election he even says it deeply regrets the expulsions. the chinese city of the original source of this pandemic is conducting mass testing of

all of its 11000000 residents over the next 10 days a cluster of fresh cases has raised fears of a 2nd wave of infection. but as countries around the world loosen their lockdowns and reopen their economies the chief in the balance between a return to normal life and the containment of the virus could prove difficult in lebanon all sources have had to reimpose a temporary lockdown after the number of new corona virus infections surged so what will become the new reality. after weeks of closures people in lebanon had finally begun to savor a gradual return to normal restaurants and cafes has started operating at reduced capacity shops and hairdressers have reopened their doors to customers but a jump in new cases $100.00 over 4 days brought the reopening to a sudden halt. the government announced a 4 day long total lockdown exempt only 2 essential sectors like health and

agriculture once again people are being told to stay at home the hope is that a short lockdown will be enough to stop the virus from spreading further but not everyone agrees. with. what a 4 days of lockdown going to do against the coronavirus virus is here the real aim should be to guarantee people's basic needs this is a miserable country. weeks of coronavirus restrictions have taken a toll on lebanon's already fragile economy food prices have soared triggering protests calling for the government to intervene but the need to contain the virus has trumped the looming financial crisis at least for the duration of the lock down lebanon's backward slide could be in store for other countries as they navigate their way through the pandemic temporary lock downs followed by reopening to avoid a 2nd wave of corona virus cases. so should we expect

around the world william schaffner is professor of preventative medicine at vanderbilt university he joins us from nashville in the united states and welcome to do you expect more countries to be like having to deal with 2nd wave of infections. oh i'm afraid so this will be up and down up and down around the world including here in the united states however on rather skeptical that once we start to open up here in the us that there will be a reversion to lock down i think there will be a lot of resistance to locking us down once again it's difficult isn't it because. there is a political calculation isn't that the very is that the lives lost on the one hand against the money and lives disrupted on the other is it is it is not

a purely political decision or does that is that some sort of actuarial chart where somebody says well a life is worth this much so we can afford to lose this money well i've seen a few of those estimates but i think principally it's a political and social and cultural issue each of these countries is different different governments different cultures but the balancing of the medical issues with the social and economic issues is a very difficult one and as we say we have to move forward as we are opening up but do so carefully and slowly expecting that there will be some increase and that will have to manage on the medical side so that lebanon's knock down is 4 days long is a short lockdown like not likely to be effective. i'm kind of dubious we would have anticipated that a a longer lockdown would be more effective lebanon is doing an experiment we're all

doing things newly we'll have to see how well it works there. so how then do we stay ahead of the virus the w.h.o. says it's going to be with us we're going to have just have to learn to live with it certainly for the next couple of years a government around the world to say ok we have to proceed a carefully but you actually worried me when you when you talked about the united states because in a country that big if the if there is a surge you say well you know once it's open it's not going to close again. well i do think it's in the american character shall we say or the culture that there will be a great deal of resistance to going back to sheltering at all to the severe extent that we have done it in the past and talk about staying ahead of the virus we're still trying to catch up with this virus and we'll have to live with it for some time to come on till such time as we have an effective vaccine and it can be

distributed largely in the population good talking to thank you for joining us professor william schaffner in nashville in the united states my pleasure. as more of the stories making headlines around the world now also out in afghanistan where at least 5 people have died in a truck bomb attack the vehicle blew up near a military court in the eastern city of god dess wounding at least 20 others including civilians and military personnel taliban insurgents have claimed responsibility. the news top court has ruled that hungary did circumvent e.u. law by holding asylum seekers in prison like conditions at a border camp the case was brought by 4 asylum seekers from iran and afghanistan were being held in the camp after arriving via serbia. a powerful storm has hit the eastern philippines a typhoon valvano made landfall just past noon local time both artists have

during the coronavirus pandemic. prick and mortar stores have been seriously impacted by the pandemic our shops in beijing have been basically closed only our online services have been in operation so we hope by doing live streaming we can attract more customers to the online business. they have already made about 20 line shows selling shoes for the equivalent of $13000.00 euros it's better than nothing but is it enough customers have mixed feelings. i think it's reasonable as long as the quality and the prices look good to me yes it's a new way to shop. if you want him a ward of the lime stream is boring usually i watch videos but not streaming. constable still life in the 0 is booming analysts say turnover in china could double to 125000000000 euros this year. for the world there are many new
