Jenin to congo because of this knock down why has the Prime Minister and garnished indians to stay strong in their results to isolate theres also having to criticism of his message while the countrys 3 week lockdown has been hard for millions of Migrant Workers whats their situation. Well initially thousands fled. To get. Each in the city anymore because they do not have what to do my name will depend heavily on de religious but most of the week in fact in the last there was no we hind needy people have stopped up would only be standing on 10 days but now the liturgy march on to the streets now that im out of so despite the fact that these east it measures to ensure that these people stay in and sometimes these are measured that is physical violence theres this attack. So we went talk to find out what exactly people are doing how exactly migrants how have been the high end of the city now that the exodus i still dont know how exactly are these managing to survive. Waiting. Sometimes for hours at end. This is what every day looks like now for these daily wage workers. Social distancing boxes seen meaningless in the face of hunger. At the end of this particular way it to oranges none of these men are originally from delhi. They migrated to the capital from villages in neighboring states looking to own a livelihood. Some work in small restaurants are those at construction sites everyone meaning depends on the days awnings but with businesses closed for indias 3 week lockdown these awnings and the meals have dried up now how do you try to go home but the bus stations were closed the police told us to stay here. But there are no medical Services Available here and were not allowed to leave we would have to call an ambulance who are supposed to let us go. Yet with food at hand these men are the lucky ones. The government is so why even people would have hundreds of shelters like this one yet the demand far outstrips the supply in addition many are physically unable to be sent those because of the lockdown. This is where Civil Society is stepping in goon an ngo that has worked on Disaster Relief jordan floods and earthquakes. Is now adapting to a different challenge to a disaster that cannot be seen but that is everywhere. This time fall fewer aid workers are being called in to maintain social distancing and theyre taking up tasks they have never had before relief work especially in the midst of a lockdown is the governments responsibility. But workers here believe there is no time to assign blame lives are at stake and not just because of the good or no iris because good men Big Government was not for the pay im making an effort but theres a captive we all need to Work Together this is not an issue of survival of this sort of i will go to her.

What are indias next steps then in fighting the coronavirus. Well not all the she and. The government even thought that it was not. The Prime Minister just yesterday. Off the rajiv. Gandhi emotions off developing nation. Also need to know more about wrapping up testing isolation and treatment and i thought the fact that india is not just dealing with a Health Crisis but a crisis of hunger its. Good talking to you thank you for that certain image of just well. Can we take a look now at some more of the latest coronavirus developments more than a 1000000 infections have been confirmed globally according to Johns Hopkins university of the United States and currently has the most active cases a cruise ship that was stranded at sea with covered 19 patients on boats been allowed to dock in florida. Had been turned away by south american countries and here in germany more than a 1000 people have died from covered 19 and a nearly 80000 confirmed cases. Where the latest polls here in germany indicate support for the governments handling of this crisis german pollsters in for test data also asked people about the effects of the pandemic results indicate the most germans are concerned about a downturn in the economy a 75 percent of those questioned worry that the countrys Economic Situation will deteriorate well 24 percent have little or no concern on that point. Well the Political Correspondent nina can tell us well welcome and nina what do you make of these figures. Well of course it does show a certain level of uncertainty here in germany and that is explained by the fact that germans do take note of warning such as the one issued by economics minister my own thursday who said germany will probably see a severe recession this year east that the German Economy could shrink more than it did in the financial crisis in 2009 and at the time trying by 5. 7 percent at the same time having said that in the same poll we also learned that 4 out of 5 germans currently are not worried about losing their jobs and that of course has to do with the fact that some of the measures taken in that rescue package by the government are ready being implemented and are literally getting money into their accounts. Well the poll also asked how much it people trust germanys doctors and its Health Care System they got a big thumbs up with 77 percent saying they largely trust the Health Care System and only 22 percent saying they have little or no trust in it so neither harder is that satisfaction likely to change as infection numbers grow well this is a crisis that is unprecedented nobody knows how its going to evolve and germans have been warned that were still at the beginning of this. Epidemic here in this country but of course the country has stepped up the number of intensive care unit beds that it has available they used to be 28000 and now that number has been has increased 240000 then roughly 300000 tests are being carried out people are being tested they are getting the treatment that they need but of course the Health Minister has also said that he cant promise people that we can avert a situation like in the most affected regions it is sleep. The polls also found a strong surge in support for chance them ackles potty if federal elections were held next sunday the chancellors conservative c. D. U. C. S. U. Bloc would benefit significantly its current 34 percent Approval Rating is an increase of a 7 Percentage PointsCoalition Partners the social democrats remain on 16 percent meaning the miracles coalition would keep its governing majority in parliament. Day comes it 10 percent the business friendly f d p reaches 5 on the left party has a 7 percent Approval Rating and the greens have a strong 22 percent showing nader how much is this the improved showing for the conservatives down to the chancellor. Americal does come across to most germans as somebody who can handle such crises really well she does seem transparent in her Decision Making as she listens to experts she draws her own conclusions so that is something that germans do appreciate also her Health Minister from the conservative party ends and has risen in popularity and i find that interesting that he before this crisis was known as one of ungrammatical strongest critics and he he was always portrayed as one of her main challenges and so the poll seems to suggest that germans do appreciate that those in the Party Political feuds cross party feud that cetera they are just being put to one side they dont seem to matter and the government is really. Speaking with one voice here and its interesting to see that this poll showed the most dramatic change in germans attitude towards their current government in the whole time that this agency has actually done these polls since 997 this current government is getting the highest Approval Ratings thats ever been polled in one such poll this is the 1st since june 28th to indicate a majority for the conservatives on the social democrats is that juju vis crisis well the short answer is yes ok well thats a loose. Thank you so much. We do like to be concise now where those of us opposed to stay indoors and stay away from found friends and family a social media is helping to fill the void videos and names have become sources of smiles during the crisis so lets take a look at how some people have been showing their creative sides.

Much of asia seems just as. Over the hill in most of europe as a myth battle against covert 19 africa is bracing for impact and fake news is not helping societies that prepare for the onslaught thats brand vincent and as hes deputy kenya africa check and joins us from nairobi vincent how much of a problem is corona fake news in african countries right now. Thanks for having me coronavirus misinformation is a big big problem and the reason is that the more people believe misinformation then they will not follow their instructions are not going to wash their hands only practice social distancing and they will not stay at home so the strings mean that if they dont Pay Attention wires threats more and on top of that you have people throwing certification to yours or medicines that have been proven not to work weve seen in nigeria for example that people have been poisoned by chloroquine because they heard it could work. And whats the weirdest piece of fake news youve come across so far or the weirdest i have come across is that if you take some orange peels and you boil and you inhale the steam youre going to cure coronavirus and we know thats not sure because your body temperature internal body temperature never really d changes or you end up doing is burning. Why on earth are people actually believing this kind of stuff well people believe misinformation particularly about health because its tied into the people are read diseases that are difficult to cure and so this gives them hope when you give little hope they will try and secure as to who i am medicines fake medicines if they have to. You should know just that really we dont see a lot of fake news about its a disease like malaria because we all know its curable in medicine is clearly accessible. To people across africa generally trust that governments to take the right measures of force that misinformation are on fertile ground. People are are more or less trustful of their governments and the reason they are is because they know that government really can do them most to protect what we have seen is a bitter dissatisfaction with the measures that are being taken so for example in kenya we knew that for example the number of tests have been rising but these are concerned that theyre not you know and also the fact that a lot of people live in an informal economy in kenya so they have to go out every day and money and its very difficult to tell people like that to stay at home and so why so late unless youre providing them with money so that they can stay inside. Who benefits from these fake news. A lot of people benefit there are people who wants to grew their insurance online and those credit anything but his fate whether its about coronavirus or politics it doesnt matter then there are people who want to actually make a business selling fake cures so that you can actually spend your money to buy a fake a cure or to do things that are not true for example or in cio water and then finally youve got people who want. To drive a political agenda so theyre going to capitalize on peoples fears to spread the stories and that way they spread the agenda thats probably the system is wrong and therefore you should for me because i have a solution so there are people doing its digitally online to have. To convert. Others have commercial reasons and some have all the 2 koreas. Bensons and gave me the deputy kenya at the time and africa chick thank you very much for joining us from our bokes talking.
