Screams of jurors or dealing with any of that i killed many civilians. Coming including my father while. I was a student i wanted to build a life for myself. But suddenly life became our. Providing insights global news that matters d. W. Made for mines. Protecting children in a pandemic is a must education is vital but so is preventing violence and sexual abuse their mental state is also at risk in isolation. This point in time could map out the rest of their lives. Unicef warns the crisis could push up to 86000000. 00 more children into poverty by the end of the year it also expects a spike in child labor. What sort of future would you want for your kid. This crisis has been an inconvenience for many of us for others or if it could set some children back for the rest of their lives ill talk to an expert about that in a moment 1st this report. Its a tense evening in nairobis keep it a district and ambulance has brought a weak man back to the village who are supposedly tested negative for the corona virus. But many here suspect that hes still sick its not entirely clear what his status is but people are worried enough to force the ambulance to take him back to the hospital. Officially there have been around 11000. 00 cases in kenya so far which is relatively low but there is widespread fear of a major outbreak schools have been closed because of the coronavirus a potentially devastating blow to the future of the Younger Generation here mothers like sophia she 12 can homeschool their children the family has no laptop tablet or computer and the power is often out anyway. But i cant check their answers i didnt go to school so instead they go to the neighbors who do that for me. Sophie is 14 year old daughter sheila gets up at 6 in the morning to do her homework. She waits eagerly for School Lessons to begin on the screen at her neighbors house. So i didnt say just news group. Because. We dont have the n. E. P. Is. Going to be. No longer these tournaments. I need to see. The new development so. Theres still a clinton to fill really. It was a negro it went to be. Murder she was frightened of missing too many lessons so she goes round to study at her neighbors whenever theyre at home. Since the beginning of the crisis the government has been working with the United NationsChildrens Fund unicef to expand Remote Learning programs. Its an attempt to avert the worst says unicef jean and give you. Even before probably demanding crisis to know it was very high. The children are not able to achieve their learning or because of the need to achieve at a particular age and you can imagine plastic corbet then this learning outcomes even becomes. Their children of the same becomes a problem. If the power fails and the signal cuts out then she will simply has to miss out on the class which is frustrating but remote schooling at least offer some sense of stability during the crisis. I believe margaret only 3 this is also the reason why sophia her son invites round as many as 10 kids a day to use her t. V. In the kibera district. She wants to protect them from another kind of threat during the crisis. It is important in that you know here in key bread so many cases of. The mystical raylene siri so im trying my best to put them together so that they dont and then since. There are many like sophia house on trying to help others theyre the backbone of nairobis keep it a quarter people who wont give up no matter how long the crisis lasts. And lets bring in the chairwoman of save the children germany. So that the children were labeled super spreaders when this crisis hit ways that put kids now. When it comes to children the symptoms of cold are usually mild right and in the beginning everybody thought well this is not something that will affect children very much but although she and her and im not particularly affected by the virus they are heavily impacted by the secondary and social effects School Closings for example lockdowns put families under pressure and these changes are quite dramatic and life changing for children everywhere right now even the u. S. In germany and bangladesh south africa and europe and but we also see it everywhere its the most poor and the most vulnerable that are particularly hit and hit the most and we will see an increased inequality and an increase poverty in months and years to come what about the extreme. Examples is there evidence to show an increase in violence against children and forced child labor. Yeah there there are many examples let me start with protection issues and the un has described violence as a shadow pandemic coinciding with call that right now and we have 243000000 girls and women that have been subjected to sexual and physical violence and the u. N. Says for every 3 months this last time continues globally an extra 15000000 cases will have every 3 months and thats quite a number and the last 2 decades have actually seen in terms of child labor 94000000. 00 fewer children in china labor but now that is a Remarkable Development right but now this development is under threat because families are under pressure and theres a lockdown they cannot go to work that means children and also that and parents go hungry so children are subjected to work and evidence about child labor rising as schools are closing is actually gradually mounting just right now we have terms of numbers that can seize that 152000000 children at the moment that are working as child laborers 70 to 73000000 approximately in Hazardous Conditions and now according to us its on the rise for the 1st time since 2000 so then what about where the kids are meant to be school what are doing to their educations. We have an education crisis and what that actually means maybe ill tell you a story from from a boy that is were our programs in africa and hes living in one of the townships and save the children works there with with the families and you know the school is closed and the parents the parents dont have internet at home so this this boy cannot open his email in the morning and learn and then the parents have only one more i phone and so if the father is leaving the house for example by phone cannot be used by this boy for learning so this is the reality on the ground for many many kids and they are losing out on education tell me that what whats stopping these kids just catching up once the crisis is over. Well you see we can learn from example from sierra leone where save the children and other organisations have long term experience what it means for guls to be out of school in sierra leone and during the crisis there were 9 months that was told School Closure and by the end of these 9 months over 10 percent of all the girls in the country never ever entered school again because they were married off or it was culturally acceptable by them to stay at home and not to resume their education so that they were going to have to leave it there thank you very much for being on our show chairwoman of save the children joining me here Susanna Corrigan thank you so much. Over to our science correspondent Eric Williams hes been looking into some of the questions youve been sending us on the court of ours. Is there evidence that coven 19 can be transmitted via feces this has been a background worry all along sends coded 19 transmission via whats known as the fecal oral route would have major implications for caregivers all over the world as well as for Wastewater Management although its clear that the majority of infections occur via respiratory droplets and aerosols it appears that transmission of the virus might at least also be theoretically possible through excrement a couple of studies have managed to culture live virus from patient fecal samples like with most questions though when you start to look into them things get more complicated than they appear i read an interesting new article that helped bring home to me the complex infection pads that pathogens can take in the fecal oral route as they circulate to a population but when it came to covert 19 the authors didnt really make any new claims they remain very much in the realm of hypothesis and and most experts continue to say that in general the live virus doesnt really survive passage through the god. Some researchers have reported finding the virus and sewage from samples taken as long ago as early 2019 can you please elaborate on. The generally it seems to no longer be viable after passage through the god im sorry. Genetic material can remain intact enough to be detectable in feces the only report that ive seen claiming the virus had been found in wastewater collected in early 29000. Thing was a spanish study thats still in peer review in it scientists from barcelona said their tests had detected coronavirus r. N. A. In a single sample from march of last year but theres a lot of skepticism that that result is correct many experts think the sample was likely contaminated in the lab and theres no way to repeat the test since the available sample from march that supposedly tested positive was apparently used up in the initial test studies that use or spoke to use rate of mutation to predict when it 1st emerged generally trace it back to an ancestor from late 2019 not 8 or 9 months or a year. The. Assads correspondent Derrick Williams there ive been fizzling thanks for joining us at all see you again very soon there on the delta about.
