incontinent cases in algeria and egypt are on the decline but they're ticking up in morocco and tunisia. what would another wave of covert 19 mean for region already so hard hit. and welcome to georgia goes cold in 1000 special billon it's good to have you with us 3000000 people in south africa have lost their work because of the pandemic and as a result many have lost their homes correspondent adrian krishna takes us to one of the many shanty towns now popping up across the country khayelitsha the largest township in cape town more than $1000000.00 people live here including zilly carville in a month ago she could no longer afford the rent and simply built her own hearts on a vacant lot next door. of others to passaic and christened the new neighborhood of it 19.

because everything just have been because of this coverage there were lost jobs there with nothing for us to my me anything and that's why we have to take that one to me. so laker shows us the makeshift heart where she lives with her boyfriend and 3 children. this place is too small of one bed so we have the children are going to sleep you see my house is also leaking. i don't have anything to solve at the moment i don't have money but. the family pays no rentier but the land doesn't belong to them. people are setting up their shacks all over the place here a lot of construction happening and many here are saying they don't have a choice because they can't afford to pay rent any longer but the city on the other hand says these illegal and invasions are causing huge problems city officials tell us there have been more than 30 new locations with massive land occupations in just

the last 6 weeks law and order are in danger cape town lost $300.00 hectares of land in the last year what ever the land was meant for is lost whether it is all spittle screw clinic if a piece of land is standing open it's because there is an intended community use for that land there is in the case of these big invasions where i will tell you that community leadership just stood up this is not a fight to be invaders against the state or land invaders against the city of quetta this is a fight of land invaders against a city of character and local residents since june the city says it has torn down some 60000 hearts in some cases resulting in violence this man was pulled out of his hat naked at a court has now ruled that the city needs a court order for eviction and must offer alternative accommodation to squatters. structures at the city can't afford that 400000 people are already on the waiting

lists for social housing that housing waiting list doesn't get shorter and the reason it doesn't get shorter is because there's constantly people pushing in the front if you were standing in a queue in a bank or at a cinema with theatre or something and you never got to the front because people were constantly pushing in the front you would become very angry and enraged. everything annie and her family have also been hoping for an apartment from the state for a long time so far in vain. the governess will provide our needs because we need something like toilets or what. we have to get the we have to get them from the government it's our right if we have to. place we have to. you know because when we need to go to the loo oh you want to do the number 2 you have to take the bucket and then you dig so the place is going to be full of all those things. you can go to the. people who are building they are.

convinced that she will continue to live here in the future a court order for eviction takes up to one and a half years the police are not intervening for the time being and around her the settlement continues to grow. so it's not just shelter that's been thrown into question because of the pandemic food is also becoming scarce or in parts of africa the central hell region is among the continent's hunger hotspots more than half of the populations of mali burkina faso and the share suffers from food insecurity defined as the lack of regular access to the food they need in mali the trend is even getting worse and for more on this i'm joined by david beasley the executive director of the world food program he joins me from berlin dave it's good to see you as always when we talk about food insecurity this term help us understand what that looks like on the ground for someone in mali or say burkina faso. well it's

not good at all i mean did it was already bad before code we had economic deterioration a lot of serious issues with the sri newsgroups terrorist groups trying to exploit the situation and not to mention the climate change moving down and millions of people being displaced and all the sudden coby comes right on top of that and so globally we're seeing from and i'm not talking about people that are going to bit hungry i'm talking about people that are on the brink of starvation that number was 135000000 before would now we see that number spiking to 270000000 body into this year and you break that down into places like mali and burkina faso nishi or in other regions of africa it really is a bad situation there we're facing and and we're facing it literally as we speak in this unfolding as we speak david in what ways is the pen to make itself affecting food supplies it doesn't really involve sickness necessarily does it. well it's a combination of factors i mean you know what we're seeing to give it a good example is nigeria when they had a 5 week lockdown they had about

a 1000 people die from code but we had a 1000000 people go into food insecurity because of the lot down is still where she an economic deterioration we're seeing a spike in food prices throughout africa lack of access economic theory ation loss of jobs you know if you do a lot down in the city in berlin people get food in their pantry for a week or 2 but a lot of these places they live hand to mouth day to day so if you do a lot then you've got to make certain that we have a safety net program in place if you don't if we don't address this right you will either have masterbation mass destabilization or mass migration in a salon cheaper to go in and help the people who need help during this extremely difficult what exactly is needed to improve the situation talk about going in what kind of resources do you need and how close are you to getting it. well you're not talking about a few $100000000.00 come of billions of dollars around the world but particularly

in africa if we get the right money right now we can come in because we're actually the supply chain for cove at this point in time you know with the airline interest shutting down so we're moving in copa supplies moving in food doing what we can do to make certain that we don't have export bans shut down of distribution points because if you do you might not be in its seeds in or or fertilizers or food or whatever the case may be now what is critical is economic recovery and i know countries like germany which has done an amazing partner with us an economic stimulus package is also helping us direct monies on the ground in the strategic locations because if we don't come in with a strategic support you can have destabilization in migration people don't want to leave their home area but if they don't have food and they don't have the degree of peace they going to do it is take it takes to do to protect their family their children the little girl the little boys enough they had more mothers tell me said

my husband didn't want to join isis or outside of the we had that our little girl in 2 weeks is to be easily please help us in so thankfully the people of germany the people around the world are stepping up but we still have a lot more money we need over the next many months and this is not going to play out just in the next couple of months i am really concerned about 2020 but i'm going strangely concerned about 2021 because the economic impact that code is head is going to play out i think in a devastating way with economic opportunity in africa so it's not a short ball game we're talking about it's a long run we've got to be really prepared for all right an urgent appeal there from david beasley executive director of the world food program thank you very much for joining us thank you. and now it's time for your questions to our science correspondent there williams. does smoking and the spread of corroded 19. well we don't really know and it's extremely

hard to prove one way or the other but there's enough evidence it might that some of the smoke that comes in a cloud out of the smokers and holes when they when they exhale forcefully is basically a mix of particulates and aerosols that's exit in from deep within that person's logs and the evidence is going pretty convincing that aerosols can carry the virus so while there's no conclusive evidence on whether secondhand smoke is is more or less infectious that aerosols exhaled by by nonsmokers a lot of experts think it makes sense to err on the side of caution after all many are now saying that if you can smell what someone had for lunch you can also potentially catch covert 19 from them so it seems to me that the same would hold true for inhaling someone secondhand smoke smokers have had it pretty tough during

this pandemic and as far as i can tell there is still not absolute watertight evidence of a direct link between smoking regularly and worse outcomes if you catch covered 19 but i wouldn't wait for that proof i mean come on this is a potentially severe respiratory disease and we know that smokers are hit harder when they catch a range of other pathogens that cause similar symptoms but if they have covert 19 does the act of smoking also make them more contagious to others could there could there secondhand smoke pose a danger of infection to those around them. around eric williams there and finally to mexico where a tattoo artist in the city of monterrey has come up with a novel way to deal with pens. emic only to go is giving away free tattoos to those who have beaten the disease edging covert 1000 survivors on their arms he says the

survivors of a 2nd chance at life. and that's it for us here at the covert 19 special thanks for joining us.
