suffering from the 1st lockdown. tony crema joins us from jerusalem welcome tania i imagine the situation has to be fairly severe to warrant a 2nd lockdown. well as you can see i'm here now in the main street in the western part of jerusalem. and. i'm actually the lockdown has started as of 2 pm this afternoon no people there lot of restrictions what people can do and also a lot of exceptions for people who can do so it's basically people that cannot go further than one kilometer from their home but of course they can go out to cover their basic needs they can also go to work but schools are closed restaurants can only deliver for example all the non-essential shops are closed today we've seen
4:03 pm
a. rather large presence of police on the streets to implement also these lockdown measures it's the eve of the jewish holiday rush so it's going gradually now into the holiday as well as into the lockdown. tony as you mentioned this lockdown comes at the start of jewish new year how are people responding to the measures. well on the one hand people do understand that you know with infection rates skyrocket rocketing and in the last wreaks or month or so that something needs to be done but this lockdown this nationwide. deeply unpopular people are seeing more the failure in the government and a lot of people are unhappy about the handling of this crisis by the government not of zigzagging and decision making that have different interests coming into play the coalition not working well but let's listen to some people retort to earlier in
4:04 pm
the day i think it's going to be hard after one knock down i think most people are just kind of tired of it they see it as mainly political more than public health issue. and especially now with the whole days it seems that you know just a lot more people are not going to. going to follow the rules. should be and everybody's and right and there's a sense of confusion i feel it is a mistake it wasn't prepared it was no exit strategy from the last look down and now we enter another cycle of home and i just came back and i think it's unnecessary mostly because the a lot of loopholes not to keep. and i don't know if my daughter will be allowed to work or my husband i don't know what's open and what is not but. so so clearly there's there's confusion there anger at the government and
4:05 pm
a rejection at least from the people we saw there of all the measures what's your sense about how likely people will be to by and large comply. well i think this is still to be seen but there are concerns by different groups it's basically the religious communities are very concerned about restriction when it comes to pray is not over the jewish high holidays or you know in gatherings of people are together at the same time business owners you know they're hard to recovered from the last lockdown they're very worried but also ordinary people i mean parents you know schools are closed they have to take care of their children they can't then go to work i mean people can relate to this i think all over the world at the same time people are very much reminded also that this is almost like the 1st looked on it was also over a jewish holiday of passover at the time and the main question here would people have is that what kind of exit strategy will there be this time because people know

4:07 pm
unpredictable. my problem is the staff were exhausted i don't know if we have enough to get through a 2nd wave of this in fact according to recent surveys a growing number of people in france question the country's strategy to fight the virus the lines for testing are getting longer but the government is concerned new restrictions could cause further damage to the economy the health minister is instead appealing to the public to be vigilant and is letting local authorities decide on restrictions. consecutive predicts the virus is spreading ever faster which is bringing more people to hospitals and intensive care stations. that there are the number of seriously ill patients is rising at an alarming rate. you know there are significant differences between the regions i think that if it holds since it's even traditional health care workers in leon are overstretched and
4:08 pm
frustrated they collected 1000000 swabs in a week but it can take up to 10 days to get the result they say the system is already overwhelmed. just like here we do what we can we don't take breaks and just keep testing and testing and testing the current infection rate in france has now surpassed 10000 new cases per day this weekend leon will join 3 other cities in limiting social contact france's president is trying to boost morale as numbers climb he attended the tour de france which carried on despite a resurgence in cases. of us to go superglued probably one of the virus will be here for months it will continue to spread throughout europe and france we need a well organized health system to fight it co-existing with the virus means living with the reasonable restrictions to help keep things moving into navy. in france
