in jerusalem now when it came to science like this i asked you not to prostin in my district i'm dressed modestly but you can already hear people shouting and booing and yelling they don't chat they don't have to please and we're here because we want to monitor the whole coronavirus situation and the fact that most of the cases are coming from ultra-orthodox neighborhoods like this one information is placed on billboards because there's no television or radio in these communities many of the posters on the yiddish and language that was spoken in the 19th century in central europe most israelis don't speak yiddish it's only the ultra-orthodox communities who do not some of these posters warn against the virus and also encourage social distancing but it's too little too late the latest ata shows at the highest rates of infection among the ultra-orthodox and they still not taking heed superintendent mickey rosenfeld is the national police spokesperson and he's here to assess things how exactly have the speed. flouting the regulations well here where we are located

in the area of mashonda i'm in the religious neighborhood we've seen an extremely high number of people that have been in the streets our units are now patrolling all of the different areas because we want to prevent the corona virus from spreading that is something that's absolutely vital here in israel as we see the numbers going up and the main problem being inside the area is the fact that the neighborhoods are very closed very confined and we seeing that the message is not getting out to the public there are large numbers of people inside the families we're talking about couples plus 567 even 10 children and we have to make sure that people stay at home and they stay away from each other as much as possible at this stage in some cases police to be meeting people from synagogues and closing down places of worship it's really tough going trying to convince people in this ultra orthodox neighborhood to abide by the end to come on a virus or does. buses are allowed to travel with $25.00 people on board the synagogue is an open place to be allowed only 10 people to pray there with 2 nieces

to choose each other can still closing innocent why but. the only thing that we need is the souls to be open the only thing for nothing else was she was you know i don't know who are lucky to have even. was he was like hi thanks for having her for us. through the. was. was i do not think that right does not exist across her car as some people screaming on the balcony i was trying to just wonder infinitives considering what is going on in the season scenery significance not designers you know people in this neighborhood are not shy that they don't disapprove of the scene just that simple reason why the police appear to be psychotic break the news. i actually think one of the shots has to get

to the moment was. was. was. was was so many religious jews here prayer is the answer to the coronavirus but with big hospitals reporting that 40 to 60 percent of cases come from ultra ultra docs neighborhoods the police will continue to crackdown. masha jerusalem well let's move from the middle east to europe where the french prime minister is indicated that the lockdown in the country is likely to be extended beyond the current april 15th threshold the governments can not to further stretch the overwhelmed health service even so one medical emergencies chief sees government efforts to supply protective equipment to medics is not moving fast enough dr erik shoals a has been describing the situation. but sure as you're going to fall in the eld of

france region we're sort of playing a game of tetris meaning that whenever we take patients out of intensive care places immediately taken by another patient there is a period during which we will continue to work and lack equipment. or france is currently dealing with around 90000 confirmed infections and over 7 and a half 1000 deaths the enforced stay at home regime is mentally taxing for everyone but for some the dangers are far worse than school reports from partners. president mark owen has described domestic violence against women as says shame or average one woman is killed by her partner every 3 days it's one of the highest femicide rates in europe times of crisis always conducive to a rise in violence for those suffering home it can quickly go from psychological abuse to physical and sexual violence and can even lead to families side as france

enters its 3rd week of lockdown it's becoming clear how dangerous it's been for those in abusive relationships reports of domestic violence sought in paris they were up 36 percent across the rest of the country it was 32 percent to the victims were murdered this is what infuriates us representatives of feminist associations is that now it is believed that domestic violence is a national problem in addition we are in crisis this means that the total number of pieces of violence committed against human relationships increased and instead of increasing the working time of the hotline which used to work until 10 pm now due to lack of funds the service stops working at 7 pm given the surge over ports of domestic abuse france's gender equality minister has announced the government will

pay for hotel rooms for victims it says pop up counseling centers will be opened while an extra $1000000.00 euros is being funneled into empty domestic abuse organizations my biggest concern is to multiply the points of contact with women as is difficult for women to get out we want to make sure the support systems can reach them for many domestic abuse charities confinement under royce in domestic abuse was already a foregone conclusion there was already anecdotal evidence from. i know that this happened there with incidents reportedly trebling mashed tag translating is empty domestic violence during epidemic also went viral if this was in january some are questioning why european countries like france didn't put a safety net in place at the start the answer is that our politicians are simply

ignoring women's rights that are human rights so basically they're very scared now about the barriers but what about the safety of these women whose children are living in this houses you know trapped in with men who clearly have a raging hunger problem so who cannot control themselves until we don't raise the public opinion that domestic violence is essential until that day our quality shows will keep thinking and treating this problem as a minor problem it's not just women who are too risk children's charities sounded the alarm to over the heightened risk of compiling. millions of children around the world will likely face increasing threats to the safety and well being including mistreatment gender based violence exploitation social exclusion and separation from caregivers because actions taken to contain the spread of the 19 pandemic with

children no longer in school and social distancing in place it's hold up the younger victims of abuse to be recognised the problem is compounded by cellphone isolation measures given that social workers aren't able to make regular calls in person. is supposed to be the safest place that any of us can be right now for victims of abuse that small case it can mean being trapped inside within a limb. help while the government in france has now recognized this it's already too late that those who suffered abuse and death in the 1st week of the lockdown show that do you can ski ot see paris and of course it must be said the problem is not restricted to front self isolation her seem to miss the violence increase in countries around the world there's also

a spike in divorce up locations of couples struggle to get along in close proximity for so long domestic abuse survivor income painter rachel williams sees it is important to take preventative measures before it's too late. but the the rise that we've seen across the current the ever countries that are currently unlocked and we are we've seen a 304050 percent increase reilly's and we know this is going to be coming to the u.k. and we need to be paid going forward. you know is literally a pandemic upon a pandemic and this lots of things that can be done before we have this massive influx i mean in the u.k. we've seen 9 deaths in the last 3 days. and 2 of those will be the traitors so to families again by james and 3 separate killings of women

i think we've seen a rise in new cases of domestic abuse being reported and also ben the the ones who have been living with this for a while. for many years may be that name they feel that it's really had to be unlocked with the traits of the 247. and i think it's people reaching i am because they cannot take it anymore. with so many issues in there surrounding coronavirus another one mike lowell movement in fact is gathering pace calling on lawyers to stop charging rent for housing but one multibillion euro firm has latched onto the idea to be das is refusing to pay rent on its stores in germany because of the current lockdown on politicians are furious peter oliver reports a stay at home to save lives is being the all encompassing mantra of this pandemic

but for those that can't work from home well it has meant losing their jobs for some than having to rely on state benefits for one of the world's largest sports money factor is it's made them well refusing to pay rent for some of the stores they've been forced to close off what adi da says done and it's drawing fire from the german government it's indecent and then acceptable it financially strong firms now just stop paying their rents the brand pay for their $3.00 strike design made over $3000000000.00 in profits last year and they're being accused of trying to save a quick buck in times of crisis with so many european leaders saying they're not going to buy the dust products ever again. responded by saying they weren't the only ones but that appropriate arrangements had been made and that smaller landlords would get their money they're not the only ones to be sure clothing giant

h. and m. as well as german giant stores like soft and medium are of also announced that they would be either suspending all delaying the page and read in the future by the way these are the last pair vida to swivel by such a shame that a global corporation with 3200000000 in profits in 2019 is exploiting and or protecting tenants existence. but what about the private renter and landlord slightly more than half of the people in germany own a home last week the german government promised well over 800000000000 euro in emergency funds to tackle the financial fallout from corona virus one of the big pieces of legislation is that all the victims will be suspended from april until september of this year with the option of actually extended not until july of 2021 something which is please do unions politicians must send

a clear signal the home must be safe but where this leaves landlord sees well a little up in the air renters must pay if they can but what happens when or if they can't that's uncharted territory one would presume that it falls to loans of some kind from the hundreds of billions that have been put forward by anglo merkel's government but just how one goes about getting one of these loans how much will be made available nobody really knows just yet what we're seeing is that governments are trying to stop the actual spread of the coronavirus they're also trying to insulate business and financial systems from infection of their own kind peter all of a party. including. all of the week after the break fired for a flagging up health risks a u.s. navy captain has been sacked after calling for his crew to be evacuated from their

warship following up 19 i'd break on board. more of my guide to financial survival this is. a. professional. you need to protect yourself and get informed. micrograph slights against you know why. for example there's there's fights against

women or nonwhites so it's always the idea is that statements that directed toward a privileged group are interpreted differently than a statement directed toward an oppressed group and so that's kind of the whole framework and it's a political framework that's used the result is of course focusing at least on certain kinds of minor slights and say rather than the north or them we need to call attention to them but it's not so it's a very political in this country. let's start with an unusual sight these days and one of europe's hardest hit countries for coronavirus it's an open market in the italian capital which is open for business despite weeks of intense national locked own customers can browse the

stalls so long as they stick to strict social distancing rules for a considerable period being the world's worst affected nation but infection and death rates are beginning to slow. the. other side of the atlantic the us it's the worst affected country to neighboring. mexico ramping up virus testing at checkpoints near the border medics are taking travelers temperatures on any of them showing symptoms are immediately sent to hospital mexico has logged nearly 2000 faction 79. the virus hit cruise ship docked in miami florida after being turned away from ports in other countries 2 guests all make oral princess from cope at 19 their bodies are still on board it comes as president trumps warning that the u.s. faces what could be its toughest week yet and that the states of pennsylvania and

colorado and also washington d.c. are emerging as new hot spots the number of deaths nationwide almost reached $8.00 . the captain of the 1st u.s. warship on deployment to report a not break was fired on thursday after he sent a scolding memo pleading for help hundreds of c. it was gathered on the deck of the theodore roosevelt aircraft carrier cheering the captain as he walked off the ship since then he himself has tested positive for corona virus. i. suppose but 19 spread on board cruiser circulated a memo where he outlined the dire situation on board one pleaded for his crew to be evacuated for isolation it's eventually find its way into the media navy crews here

ahead calls the necessary alarm disregarded the chain of command down so relieved the captain from duty. but to allow those emotions to color our judgment when communicating the current operational picture can at best create unnecessary confusion and at worst provide an incomplete picture of american combat readiness to our adversaries 1st the captains actions majors sailors their families and many in the public believe that his letter was the only reason. help from our larger navy family was forthcoming which was hardly the case president trump also described the captain's letter as inappropriate by saw today 155 out of a 4800 personnel on board had tested positive for the virus more than half of the crew have not been tested on friday began to disembark all on the tiny pacific island where their ship docked but only 1500 have come ashore on remain isolated in

tells their former pentagon michael maloof told us about the unique dangers posed when there's an eye prick on a military vessel. it's very very difficult on a warship like that unlike a cruise a cruise ship which also was infected on an aircraft carrier a destroyer or submarine you don't have the luxury of individual compartments except maybe for the tap them because they do what they because they're on 247 duty they do what they call hot other words that someone who's on duty gives up his bed and someone else sleeps senate i mean is that closely and as a consequence the ability to spread the disease such as this particularly if the open ocean is very very very high and people are going up and down the ladders holding the same areas constantly and to keep those areas germ free is

it's going to be a much would be a monumental task. to another story we're closely following today the murder of new york's ordered an investigation into why almost all the workers who would lead a walkout on monday over concerns stuff weren't getting enough protection against coronavirus later a leaked memo seem to show amazon executives tried to smear the former warehouse supervisor. he's not small what's a complete and to the extent the press wants to focus on auspices he will be in a much stronger position than simply explaining for the umpteenth time how we're trying to protect workers. well my own staff have reportedly tested positive in dozens of the firm's warehouses across the u.s. we spoke to the fired supervisor told us just how worried workers there are. organized this strike you know it's

a cry for help to close down the buildings of amazon because they're on sea. we've got people as home i haven't been paid but entire month of march. news people were underlining health conditions lucas they got bronchitis the guy asthma we have an unknown amount of people that tested positive for the corona virus and then not being transparent with employees and not caring about their employees health all we was asking for was to be protected they're not providing us with enough mask the proper type of gloves just not enough cleaning supplies within the building the very scarce right now and him it's always depleted. the cleaning crew that they hired to clean the buildings they're scared to come to work themselves so. a lot of them haven't been showing up to work you know the people who are afraid to work in that building those types of buildings so the only thing amazon can do is listen to their people it we're asking the close the building down a sanitized destiny stay can do and if they're now within to do that then we should

be happy we should be forced to work you know we're not as a sense to our help is not as essential as they want us to be and just not fair and it's not right well most all insist said fired chris smalls after he did nor instructions to stay home for 14 days following his coming into contact with a colleague who tested positive but mr small claims it's more about amazon's bottom line. then notice that i was causing an uproar. staten island building that's one of the largest buildings in the tri state area army holds about 5000 people that's a lot of money that they make in that building a lot of money i'm expecting that i'm effect in the business by speaking out so they got rid of me probably the soundless me to terminate me to stop the movement but i see empowered me motivated me even more and i'm going to concede a fight like i said we're going to if they won't do it then we'll go go go above

their head and we'll go to city hall. and now we'll fight with the government so the government steps in they set the bill. on a big push right now for pharmaceutical firms around the world is to get that call the 19 vaccine get the valentine artie's. has been finding out how efforts here in russia are going but more about the disease. before you start coming up with a vaccine you need to find something similar in all strains of the virus and only based on birds a vaccine can be created to identify one or several similarities hundreds of strains of the virus should be analyzed. why is it hard to develop a vaccine. because even if you create a vaccine strain of the virus it's still come into change it's part of wild strains of the virus so the solution you have now won't be effective in half a year or is it the same as with seasonal flu similar but not really the flu does

mutate this fast when trying to present a 30 to 60 strains of the virus identified during 2 months of the epidemic these strains already contained 149 mutations we can see but so far we don't have a medication with convincing positive effects against kogut 19 all we have now is some fragmentary data which are collected from specific clinics that just aggregate information and see. no their progress well solution may be effective the problem with this congress data is that clinics have to few patients. in those days is impossible so the point of the quarantine prevent infection is to prevent a situation whereby everyone gets infected simultaneously in the most everyone will be infected sooner or later and it was one. of the stories that shipped the week if you're isolating at home no doubt there's a lot of people in the same boat we will get through it our social media channels also will endeavor to keep you where if the big news to catch me get in 30 here

with all your latest updates. i'm going to fulfill the promise is possible for the people. you know we all pots to. be. pretty good. if you want to. know.
