Count against the club from istanbul. Hello im terry martin good to have you with as the number of confirmed coronavirus cases worldwide has passed 48000000 with well over a 1000000 deaths the u. S. Brazil and india are reporting the highest numbers europe is also facing a surge in coded 19 infections with record daily highs in many countries let me give you a quick overview of how the situation has developed on march 1st of this year Health Departments across europe registered 401 new cases keep in mind testing was not as widespread as now so actual numbers could have been much higher but you can see a clear trend of rising daily infections peaking at the end of april. Getting it may at by by then most of europe was in lockdown and you can see the effect of that here with the new infections dropping to a low point in mid july but since then the numbers have been creeping up again with new cases rising steadily since august on friday more than 137000 daily cases were registered across europe well one of the European Countries struggling to cope with the pandemic is belgium hospitals emissions of credible patients there have doubled in the past week and the government is warning the situation is worse than at the beginning of the pandemic in march. There were long queues in brussels on monday people lined up socially distanced to get tested for corona virus belgium has recorded more than 700 factions per 100000 people over the past 14 days the 2nd highest rate in europe many have had their 1st brush with the virus and now they want to be sure that theyre not infected. Someone close to me tested positive so i want to get tested to be sure i dont have any symptoms but better to be safe than sorry with such a high rate of infection belgium authorities implemented a raft of new measures on monday people have been ordered to work from home were of a possible and social contacts outside of the home should be limited to one. Alcohol sales the band after 8 pm and a curfew is being enforced from midnight until 5 am cafes bars and restaurants will be closed for a month and. Many hospitality workers are frustrated with the return to some of the harsh measures experienced earlier in the year. We can do it for you but its like the 1st time its catastrophic we just have to try and survive weve had some stage and that something its a bit of a nothing but well see. But belgian Officials Say the measures are absolutely necessary the countrys Health Minister says the Health System could soon be overwhelmed by infections and warned of a coming through nami of cases many doctors share his concerns. The sky is more or less blue but we can see a huge wave is about to arrive its inevitable authorities hope the drastic set of measures will have a quick and packed they say theyll review the results in 2 weeks time. Friends has reported a massive increase in the number of people hospitalized with covert 900 or 2000 are currently in intensive care thats the highest number since may and its putting Health Services under considerable strain authorities have imposed a partial curfew in paris and 8 other cities as one of multiple measures aimed at stemming the virus the curfew affects some 28000000 people and is set to last at least 4 weeks authorities also made face masks compulsory outside the home. For more lets cross over to paris correspondent lisa lewis is there any indication that these new measures to curb infections are actually working. Well i think its a bit early for that the curfew in these cities came into force on saturday and you know when you look back at you know the past 24 hours there have indeed only been 3313000 new infections compared to about 32000 just a few days back but thats basically down to labs being closed on sunday and if you look at intensive care units as you just said thats a new high since may and also cope with 19 related deaths have climbed to 146 compared to just 80 or 9090 a few days ago within 24 hours here so its getting more dire indeed how are people in france coping with these new restrictions. When it is difficult and there is quite a backlash specially by those that will be economically impacted by the new measures for example restaurant and bar owners those who manage theaetetus and cinemas theyre saying the bulk of our business is taking place at night and we were reading news out governments putting another 1000000000 euros on the table to help those people but you know when it comes to Restaurants Hotels and buys for example ive been told that 30 per cent of all those established mens will actually enter bankruptcy proceedings already so tis very difficult for them they obviously saying you know we should the government should create exceptions for us letters for example people have eat have dinner at 8 oclock so that they can go back had 10 and that will make any difference actually will only you know to the infection rate it will only make a difference to our business because it will mean that we will be able to survive this crisis. And acting on the measures is one thing and forcing them quite another how tough are authorities being when it comes to enforcement. Well the police has already done about 20000 controls of a pos few day since saturday when the curfew came into force 3000 fines have been handed down about i think that is still a not that high a figure that the police has been told to be but lenient with people in the 1st few days and you know it will take some time to get used to these measures when i took the metro last night at half past 8 it was packed and it normally isnt packed at that time i think many people were struggling to get had my got home at 2053 but lots of them got some of those with me on the metro well so it certainly didnt get home by 9 oclock and i understand the police isnt the 1st few days has been rather lenient if you get home at 10 past 15 past 9 so that people can still get used to that new measures and actually adapt thats get the you know to to it actually and be home by 9. Into that pretty tough. Lisa louis in paris thanks. Well heres a look at some other developments in the coronavirus pandemic the World Health Organization has linked rising case numbers in the Northern Hemisphere to a failure to quarantine people exposed to the virus its called for more consistency in enforcing self isolation measures india has posted its lowest number of daily cases in nearly 3 months infections have been decreasing since a peak in september and hundreds of fisherman who flew into new zealand to crew local vessels are isolating in the city of Christ Church after 11 and tested positive for the virus new zealand had gone 3 weeks with no Community Transmission of the illness.

No matter where they are in the. Its somehow the truth thats censorship is not only the problem of the countries in where it lies but its a global problem that democracies have to tackle globally because it is a fact that if johnnys had been able to provide the allergy in china the virus probably would. Have been addressed to europe would have left the chinese borders. What impact are these attacks on press freedom having on Public Awareness about the pandemic but in the case of china the government has been every very active at orange on that its there have been not less than 18 journalists. Room correspondents exposed of course to leave china since the beginning of the year there has also been a wave of arrests in china after a quick burst of Free Expression because the chinese public was so upset when they realised the authorities has had been lying and had been covering up the phenomenon that for a moment then. There was a lot of these preach like the free and Free Expression it was released online but there had been a lot of arrests and we counted at least 7 or 8 of this team detained in china today. So missed out beyond what do you think can be done about this how can it press freedom be defended in countries where its being attacked so severely in this pandemic well. The. Example of that had an exemplary management of the 1000. 00 crazies without going against any principle of the rule of law. Shows that.
