among the big stories of the week struggle in israel to get everyone to stick to the law especially. not. the. hotel. there which started in mid march. that officials are. supposed to prove.

refusing to pay rent. the crew of. a warship captain. publicly calling for the. chain of command. coming to you with the top stories from the past 7 days and right up to the moment developments as well this is the weekly international alone welcome. let's take you to the broader picture of where the world is right now with the code. 19

pandemic billions of people are currently under some sort of locked on and the number of coronavirus cases still rises there's not more than 1200000 registered infections more than 67000 people have died glimmer of hope though a quarter of a 1000000 people are recovered. let's take you through some of the stories from the week that was regarding corona virus starting in israel which this week made sure all communities abided by a strict locked iron rule but it proved difficult there are more than 8000 known infections there the spite intense movement restrictions one hot spot is an ultra-orthodox town where locals are ignoring social distancing advice polis lear discovered bob. welcome to mastering one of the oldest jewish neighborhoods in

jerusalem now we know and to science fact this ask you not to prostitution in my district i am dressed modestly but you can already hear people shouting and booing and yelling they don't like journalists here they don't like the police and we are 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 is no television or radio in these communities many of the posters all the yiddish language that was spoken in the 9th 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 ultraorthodox been flouting the

regulations well here we are located in the area 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've seen 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 have been removing 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 n.t. on a virus or does. buses are allowed to travel with 25 people on synagogues and i can place you. they allowed only 10 people to crazy with 2 dances to choose

each other. still closing in i said why but. the only thing that we need is the souls to be open the only thing nothing else was sure was you know not sure. that everybody was was like that when somebody offers. was. was. was not there for. you to step up to rise from people screaming on the balcony i was trying to just wonder even interesting to see what is going on in the face and see the way significance not designers not people in this neighborhood i'm not shy just a dinosaur in the stage just like that's how families are my piece appears to be said have to break down as you need things like money money the focus is to get to

your moment. was was. why. 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 orthodox neighborhoods the police will continue to crackdown. masha rim jerusalem. well let's move from the middle east to europe where the french prime minister has indicated that the lockdown in the country is likely to be extended beyond the current april 15th threshold the government's came not to further stretch the overwhelmed health service even so one medical emergencies chief says government efforts to supply protective equipment to medics is not moving fast enough dr eric shawn is

a has been describing the situation. in the ill to france region results of playing a game of tetris meaning that whenever we take a patient out of intensive care police is 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 90 fellows and confirmed infections and over 7 and a half 1000 deaths in 4 stay at home regime is mentally taxing for everyone but for some the dangers are far worse reports from parlous. president marc cohen 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 plans 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 china. this happened there with incidents reportedly troubling ashed tag translating is empty domestic violence during epidemic also went viral even though 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 with children 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 we'll 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 wellbeing 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 recognized 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 with an abuser with limited. access to help while the governments in france has now recognize 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 and 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 the right we've seen across the current the advent countries that are currently unlocked and we are we've seen a 304050 percent increase rise and we know this is going to be coming to the u.k. and we need to be prepared going forward. you know is it 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 would be the traitors so to families again by james and 3 separate killings of women

i think we've seen a rise in new and cases of domestic abuse being reported and also then the the ones who have been living with this for a while. for many years may be that know 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 stay at home to save lives as 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 and 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 if 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 or medium are have also announced that they would be either suspending or delaying the page and read in the future. by the way these are the last spare vida disapproval 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 pleased the unions politicians must send

a clear signal the home must be safe but where this leaves landlord says well a little up in the air rent is 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 as 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 drop out of the week after the break fired for a flagging up health risks a u.s.

navy captain's been sacked for calling for his crew to be evacuated from their warship following at night did i break on board. do you believe in miracles would seem democrats do you. after the joe biden surged on super tuesday for them the fear of the bernie sanders candidate see may now be contained however this is far from over taking on trump will be no easy task.

hello again let's start back with an unusual sight these days in one of europe's hardest hit countries for coronavirus it's an open air market in the italian capital which is open for business despite weeks of intense national lockdown customers can browse the stalls so long as they stick to strict social distancing

rules that lead howard for a considerable period being the world's worst affected nation but infection and death rates are beginning to slow. over the other side of the atlantic the u.s. it's the world's worst affected country and it's led to neighboring mexico ramping up virus testing at a checkpoint near the border medics are taking travelers temperatures on any of them showing symptoms are immediately sent to hospital mexico has logged nearly 2000 of factions 79. the virus hit cruise ship docked in miami florida after being turned away from ports in other countries to guests on the coral princess. 19 their bodies are still on board it comes as president warning 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. as . 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 sealers 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. as pope at 19 spread on the board cruiser circulated a memo where he outlined the dire situation on board them pleaded for his crew to be evacuated for isolation it's eventually find its way into the media navy top brass said crews your head calls on 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 mages 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 such a day 155 out of the 4800 personnel on board had tested positive for the virus more than half of the crew have not been tested on friday he began to disembark all in the tiny pacific island of guam where their ship docked but only $1500.00 have come ashore on remain isolated in tells their former

pentagon michael maloof told us about the unique dangers posed when there's an ice break 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 in it i mean is that closely complied and as a consequence the ability to spread the disease such as this particularly if you're in 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 day workers who had led a walkout on monday over concerns stuff weren't getting enough protection against coronavirus later 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 while most on staff have reportedly tested positive in dozens of the firms warehouses across the u.s. we spoke to the fired supervisor told us just how worried workers there are. i organize a strike you know it's a cry for help to close down the buildings of amazon because they're on say. we got

people does home i haven't been paid but entire month of march. news people were underlining help conditions they got lucas they got bronchitis they guy asthma we have an unknown amount of people that tested positive for the corona virus and then not being transparent with employees in ny caring about 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 they're 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 is sanitize it best in the state and do it if they're now within to do that then we should be happy we should

be forced to work in oh 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 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 all muslims bottom line. in those that i was called in the uproar. building one of the largest buildings in the tri state area holds about 5000 people. a lot of money that they make in that building a lot of money i'm effect in that i'm affecting the business by speaking out so they got rid of me probably to silence me to terminate me to stop the movement but i see empowered me so they motivated me even more and i'm going to continue to fight like i said we're going to if they won't do it we are global go above the head and we'll go to city hall. and we'll fight with the government and so the

government steps in and shut the bill down. big. for pharmaceutical firms around the world is to get couvade 19 vaccine get it the valentine artie's. has been finding out how efforts here in russia are more about the disease to. 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 still can in to change its parts wild strains of that 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 doesn't mean you take this. 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 say that so far we don't have a medication with convincing positive effects against coded 19 all we have now is some fragmentary data which are collected from specific clinics that just aggregate information and signal their progress what solution may be effective the problem with this kind of data is that clinics have to few patients that's just a typical analysis is impossible so the point of the quarantine prevent infection itself but to prevent a situation whereby everyone gets infected simultaneously right in the almost everyone will be infected sooner or later and it was just a lot of the stories that shaped 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 your where of the big news and to catch me again and 30 here with all your latest updates as well.
