Of the pops the 99 year old war veteran who captured british hearts now has a number one hit. So then china is marking a significant milestone in its fight against covert 19 its reported no new deaths for a 10th straight day and while that might offer some encouragement for other nations still in the grip of the pandemic doubts do persist over the accuracy of beijings figures now the 1st reported cases of the virus were in chinas will have problems i was back in december and since then the Chinese Government reported nearly 84000 cases and afternoon you deaths in recent days the official death toll still stands at a little over 4600 now well have province says its cleared all. Critically ill patients at a study in hong kong says the number of people infected in the 1st wave of covert 90 could have been 4 times higher than official figures and research to say the true number could be even higher than those estimates well in Hong Kong Sarah clarke reports theres growing skepticism about the data coming out of mainland china. Well certainly its a milestone as far as to the Chinese Governments concern with regards to no new deaths for the 10th day in a row the National Health commission has just confirmed from its Delhi Press Conference there are 12 new cases of 11 of those cases are actually imported cases so those are the chinese nationals returned to china from various areas and in particular the focus is now looking at the north of china and the province knows how long jiang this is a province that borders russia and these are the chinese nationals returning from returning from china from russia as a result theyre put in place and security checkpoints a number of cities in that particular area are also in lockdown and all those new arrivals have been tested theyve got mandatory coronavirus testing for those for people returning to china or a number of countries have long been questioning the transparency of the figures because one of the modeling of the numbers that are coming out of china we had a university pipe it was published in the lancet journal that was early this week it was written by a Hong Kong Universitys school of Public Health and they questioned chinas numbers they reported in their particular document that more than 232000 people may have been infected with a crowd of us in the 1st wave of the infections in china and thats 4 times more than what china said by the the National Health commission back in back in 55th and says they reported 55000 so its a very big difference between those particular figures the latest numbers weve got coming out of china 83000 cases of crying a virus and thats also low when you compare them to the likes of europe and parts of europe and north america and now a number of countries are also questioning or looking for an investigation into the outbreak of the origin of this particular outbreak in china and weve got the likes of the United Kingdom is even dropped chinas numbers in the international compare comparisons simply because they say they say they cant trust the figures being released by the National Health commission out of china on a daily basis or vietnam as a nation neighboring china and it too is getting back to business shops and cafes and restaurants theyre all reopening the country eases restrictions on Movement Vietnam has been praised for success. Compellingly outbreak its reported 300 cases with no deaths and no new cases for a week vietnam did act quickly by putting tens of thousands of people in quarantine using contacts tracing and testing. Vietnam strategy in the fight against covert 19 was remote and it focused on early prevention before the pandemic vietnam quickly contained a virus and stopped it from spreading to other communities on top of that the government and the ministry of health employed measures including isolation and medical treatment. Of the World Health Organization says that there is no Scientific Evidence yet that those who recover from covert 90 develop immunity to the virus and that means that its not known yet whether people can get reinfected. Is also a warning against issuing immunity certificates for those who recover from the illness comes off to chile said it would be handling out handing out socalled Health Passports to those who have had the virus so that they can get back to work. While india is easy restrictions for its 1300000000. 00 people in lockdown shops selling nonessential goods can now open but only at 50 percent capacity areas considered infection hotspots such as Larger Stores and miles will stay shut Health Officials have reported nearly 25000 cases in 775 deaths on friday they recorded the highest one day increase in infections. Well elizabeth joins us now live from new delhi elizabeth tell us more about whats up. Hi nick so in the areas that are considered non hotspots we are seeing shops reopening and people heading out of this comes after the Home Ministry released a statement very late on friday night to come or something as of a surprise saying that all the shops which arent in morals all marketplaces are allowed to open but with certain conditions like everyone has to wear face masks and gloves and still observe social distancing the gloves aspects aspect as you they also said that all shops and markets in rural areas our allowed to open nearly 70 percent of indians actually live in rural areas weve had a clarification from the Health Ministry just in the last hour or so they have said that now barber shops and salons arent allowed to open because they dont sell items they Sell Services so non essential items are being allowed to be sold but not known essential services were not seeing any easing of restrictions in places like delhi most of delhi is considered is filled rather with hotspots and were actually seeing more restrictions and other places like the Southern State of tamil nadu for instance indias most populous state of water per day she has extended the bad on public gatherings until the end of june so the situation really depends on where you are in the country but certainly shops being allowed to open is a huge relief to the millions of indians again in no hotspot zones who owned small standalone shops. Were the restrictions are being. Widely being accepted as prudent policy. This is too early. So most people and certainly most governments. Ok with going with the government line on this which is that theyre trying to balance saving lives and livelihoods thats why we saw a really big easing the frustrations and Many Industries which started on monday the 20th so the entire Agricultural Sector and all of the businesses which supported are supposed to be fully functioning and so to banking Construction Public works the social sector now there was a really big focus of agriculture because it employs more than 50 percent of indians but unfortunately weve seen reports that the easing of the structure ins hasnt exactly led to the sector fully functioning again because many farmers didnt know that they were allowed to go back to work and weve also seen pictures of vegetables you know washing and going to waste because supply chains fully functioning still so the government is trying to get washing can back up and running and again like i said a lot of people around the country agree with it but there are certainly others who say that its happening too early that india still hasnt tested enough to know the real rate of infection that many businesses arent equipped to deal with you know the new guidelines so we did hear from the Health Ministry on friday they said that indias cases the rise in the number of cases in india have been linea and not exponential and so then that supports you know the government taking these steps to ease restrictions or listings for emergencies thats which is in new delhi this. Well a countrywide curfew has been reimposed in sri lanka until monday at the earliest because of another surge in cases restrictions had been relaxed in what were considered low risk areas outside the capital of colombo the government now says that travelling between districts is prohibited unless a citizen is deemed part of an essential service or for agricultural activities there are 420. 00 cases in sri lanka and 7 people have died british retail sales have plummeted with the sharpest drop since records began in 1906 Monthly Sales for march fell by more than 5 percent but economists expects this must be even worse for causing a possible for if up to 30 percent spike that Ratings Agency standard and poors as left britains Credit Rating unchanged at doubleday praising its swift and coordinates response to the pandemic. Across Europe Countries are at odds over lifting lockdown some sending children back to school and reopening Small Businesses but most Industries Including the hospitality sector remain shut with no end in sight were actually as this. There is one corner of europe where you can see a reminder of what life used to be like a few short weeks ago in the spring sunshine people in the swedish capital stockholm were carrying on as if the pandemic had never happened sweden has gone against the grain in not closing down restaurants or limiting peoples movements much but with over 2000 dead as a worse outcome so far d that scandinavian neighbors the government is starting to sound a bit worried about its own guidance you talk to me out of washington in a coma from as the spring sun appears we seem to be seeing worrying reports about full outdoor terraces in restaurants people in crowded places and we have to take this seriously let me be extremely clear i dont want to see any crowded outdoor restaurant terraces in stockholm or anywhere else and everyone has to take this on his or her responsibility. Germany has the opposite problem under the iconic Brandenburg Gate in berlin restaurants staged a protest by lining up hundreds of empty chairs because the authorities across the country have refused yet to countenance them reopening despite a far lower death rates than countries like sweden. And unlike sweden germany is continuing this testing opening drive through facilities to trace more and more people ministers insist life can get back to anything like normal until the infection rates drop to the hundreds every day in terms of health care it makes perfect sense but the tension with the demands of business is growing d Restaurant Owners have run out of patients who are most at least one who would understand its no exaggeration to say the sheer panic imagine your business which is doing very well is she. Down from one day to the next it means we dont have less revenue it means we have no revenue but leases and costs continue a lot to be a consolation but in most countries going out to socialize remains a faraway dream like enjoying the cuisine of the french bistro that too is almost certainly many months away insulate the. Nothing would be worse than conducting a rushed reopening of restaurants and bars which could then force us to close again i think it would be an immense disappointment not only for the Restaurant Owners but also for the french people. Its also worth remembering that many of the most vulnerable like the elderly of the spanish city of. Couldnt afford to go out so even if the option was open to them here the spanish red cross is delivering food instead of the sharp end of the virus keeping people alive remains the priority.

Within weeks of 911 the patriot act was passed in the u. S. With no congressional debate it allowed unprecedented surveillance with minimal oversight over american citizens the alternative the government suggested was responsibility for another terrorist attack the laundry list. Challenges community had wanted for many years at the time they were sure and says the measures would be temporary but theyve been routinely reauthorized by congress yet mass surveillance proved ineffective counterproductive and the data was being used for purposes unrelated to terrorism it was only 12 years after the patriot act passed with the whistleblowing of Edward Snowden that we discovered the extent of the mass surveillance and only then was the governments bulk collection of information about americans limited now with the spread of covert 19 snowden and others so theres an opportunity to learn from the past systems to monitor everyones location at all times of being formalized in secret at the point these policies are being sought these benefits are theoretical often there is no evidence for them and they may never materialize that keep ability will exist in 3 months in 3 years and in 30 years if we allow it to be implemented today clusters of disease do need to be located swiftly and closed off and smart phone data is being used to locate those not adhering to social distancing requirements but we have few specific details on Data Collection facebook and google have been in talks with the government on sharing information they collect about us Online Advertising companies that track our movements are discussing new covert 1000 Revenue Streams the firm pal into.
