Well doctor working at the epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic in italy is warning governments in other countries to act now italy is the hardest hit country in europe with 2158 deaths related to the virus makeshift hospitals are being set up to deal with the spread of the disease and doctors said youre going to know says the virus has put the Health Care System under unprecedented stress were given to me but as you know what is really shocking something weve not been able to forecast and which brought us to our knees is how quickly the epidemic spreads within 2 weeks now 3 weeks since the beginning of the epidemic we put a total of 1200 patients in intensive care in the majority by a secret has been and this should be a strong message for the Foreign Countries to act early on this in order to avoid like in our case having to chase after it day after day if the spread of this epidemic is not put under control it will bring all hospitals to their knees. And need barker joins me live in the studio sony of europe its tackling the issue at the borders took us through the measures there and whats happening you know the Big Initiative of the day is whats happening to basically protect the European Union the schengen zone from the virus spreading rapidly any further so the process of rubber stamping is basically happening to be able to close off the schengen associated members that are not members of the e. U. Like the u. K. And norway also part of that equation as well so a total of 31. 00 countries will now be closed off the 3rd Party Nations basically mirroring a bit like what happened in the United States with donald trump introducing that travel ban on all people coming from europe so unprecedented steps given that well the cornerstone of the European Union is always been of the movement of Goods Services and people but these are of course extremely unusual times and before we move on to some specific countries there is an effort to pool resources understand as well yeah thats absolutely right so one of the biggest concerns is being. Possible shortage of ventilators obviously people developing respiratory disorders would definitely need those but our Health Systems across the continent have been overwhelmed what we do know is that one of the biggest producers of ventilators in the world is actually the republic of ireland an e. U. Member and talk is now of being able to pull those resources and to send them to places where theyre needed most what about the differences in approach still it still kind of question marks over the way the u. K. Is handling it yeah thats right well last week the u. K. Was championing something called herd immunity basically the scientists were saying that the majority of people in the u. K. Would need to get it for there to be immunity should the virus come back year on year but under that model one percent of people who got it would potentially lose their lives without any kind of mitigation the scientists were basically saying that things desperately desperately need to be done to reduce that death toll but what theyre now saying is that something called suppression needs to be introduced were talking about a multifaceted response the kind of response that weve seen in spain and italy france and germany finally happening here so were talking about a combination of self isolation home quarantine social distancing and all of these things need to be enforced the problem is so far that the government have only made a series of recommendations not to go to bars restaurants theatres so on and so forth what many scientists are now saying is that the population really needs to take seriously what it what theyre basically being told by the scientists if theres any real hope of bringing the death toll down to a significant manageable level the Scientists Say that a figure around 20000. 00 would be a good outcome for them but of course it relies upon people following the orders of the scientists thank you very much thats more now knocked out in france now Natasha Butler joins us from skype over skype or should say from lemon western france so tell us what people being a bedient now. Well i think you can really tell the difference today to the situation a few days ago few days ago people were still out of out walking enjoying some sunshine or even voting of course in the 1st round of the local elections which are held on sunday you know a few days later here we are in lockdown announced on monday nights by the french president tomorrow which means everybody has been told by the french government stay in your homes you can only go outside if its the something necessary Grocery Shopping if you work in an essential need to straighten your car work from home such as a Health Worker all for a little bit of exercise but otherwise youre not allowed to cross anyone in the street to talk to them you have to stay away from everybody you cant visit friends and family so much more restricted living on top of that weve heard from france the transport minister that the few trains and buses that were running are becoming restrictive caution services have stopped and i have to say i was able to move around a little bit where i am because were still allowed to report a little bit in our areas and its eerily quiet out there i mean all the homes are closed you dont see a car you can really tell the difference this is a country where people i think of really realize we have to obey what the government is saying in order for this coronavirus to stop spreading i think theres a real sort of wake up will consent to consciousness about the situation people are staying at home they are standing in the sewer apart in supermarket queues and they certainly werent doing us a few days ago but i think the message is getting home and the government will probably be a quite pleased about it but i thank you very much indeed. Iran has issued its most dire warning about the corona Virus Outbreak yet suggesting millions could die if the public keeps ignoring Health Guidance a stark warning came from a journalist on state television who urged the public to adhere to travel restrictions iran has also temporarily freed some 85000 prisoners in response to the pandemic on monday crowds of conservative iranians stormed 2 major shrines but have been closed due to the virus was in misrata he joins us live from irans capital tehran so what do you think is going to make a difference for people to listen to the message now. Well this is really something that the government has been struggling with since the beginning iranians are so frustrated with their economic circumstances so frustrated with experiencing one crisis after another that when it comes to following the governments guidance regarding the coronavirus the government simply hasnt been able to get everybody on board and it has to be said slowly but surely you can tell the difference there are fewer iranians that are out on the streets there are more people that are following the government guidelines but this idea that millions of people could be impacted as we saw the news reader on state t. V. Say earlier today this is part of the kind of fear that Government Officials have been trying to instill in people of the consequences of not following through is this fact or fiction well we dont really have any Health Official or Government Official quoted here are standing behind this but medically speaking if you follow the epidemiology if the government is not able to get a hold of the spread of the virus throughout the country it could become a hot zone it could become a long term area of risk in which case there there is a chance it could affect millions of people in the long term but really youd still see that there are iranians who feel that the rules dont apply to them that the guidance doesnt apply to them we saw hundreds of people rally outside of shrines that were shut down last night in. Iran ignoring government guidelines ignored you know basically rallying against the government the decision to close these very important religious sites 11 were arrested and the rally was cleared up fairly quickly but it really shows that there are audience who feel that this is all exaggerated and really the test will be coming in the next few weeks we are at the beginning of persian new year we can already hear fireworks outside people are getting ready for the celebration part of the year and really that will be the real test of whether or not people are on board with the Government Health care guidance on how to avoid the spread of the crown of ours they must have a thank you very much.

In a moment well hear from a rose on there in new jersey 1st to our White House Correspondent kimberly health kit and kimberly understand the President Trump is. We were just hearing from white house and theyre asking for some stimulus on this. Yeah the size and scope of the amount of money this white house is asking for from the u. S. Congress seems to grow by the day the latest requests sounding more immediate sort of neighborhood of 1. 00 trillion dollars to help Major IndustriesSmall Businesses and ordinary americans who found themselves really floundering as a result of coronavirus what were hearing from the u. S. President as he briefed reporters in just last few moments in that briefing is still ongoing is that theres an effort to fast track this package right now republicans control the senate so there is an ability of this republican controlled white house to to try and do something of that nature in the president s word he said that the white house is going big if we do this rate in a country and the world frankly but our country can be rolling again pretty quickly pretty quickly we have to fight that invisible enemy. I guess unknown but were getting to know it a lot better today the senate is taking up coronavirus legislation that includes retesting for those who need it as well as paid sick leave and family medical leave for work is affected by the virus. In the words of the u. S. President or rather was the Vice President who said this the impact particularly for the Airline Industry has been severe worse than 911 is what many in this administration are saying so they are justifying and making the argument that all tools are necessary in order to address the Economic Impacts of course the Public Health impacts are another thing that this is ministration is combating and one of their latest requests to try and help hospital workers who of course the 1st responders and on the front line of dealing with those who are increasingly becoming sick and showing up at hospitals is theyre asking those who own construction sites and construction workers who have a large supply of these industrial type mass to donate them to the hospitals because the United States continues dot just near masts but also in so many other areas to see severe supply shortages can be ok thank you very much. Joins us live from jazzy city in new jersey whats happening where you are because the impact on peoples lives. Yeah its really a huge impact here in this entire state of new jersey and new york ill get to new york in a 2nd but were here in jersey city a city of about 250000 people and were alone this promenade here that on a normal lunchtime would be packed with people workers that are coming out to eat their lunch outside on this promenade that you see behind me there as you can see less than 10 people there right now why because all of those Office Buildings you see there are pretty much empty right now as everyone has been asked to leave and go work from home that has been the unit from the governor of the state of new jersey c. D. C. Is very very quiet here as it is in much of cities such as this but its really the epicenter here in the state of new york and new jersey new jersey has 178 cases of corona virus one of a 5 year old that just came in today but just give you an idea how fast that it is happened here in new jersey 11 days ago the state of new jersey only had one case today 178 so its growing so fast lets get to new york behind me there you see midtown manhattan that you see behind me there thats new york city new york city 463 cases of corona virus in the state of new york 950 so what youre seeing here is what we saw as the governors of both states both new jersey and new york got together on monday they both are upset with what they say is a slow response from the federal government in washington and so they got together and they said to unilateral action to say both new jersey and new york are going to be going on to what they say all restaurants closed here in both states bars.

S. States are Holding Democratic primaries on tuesday despite Health Officials encouraging people to stay home high opa spend its vote but polling stations have opened in florida in annoy and arizona and actual Officials Say theyve done enough to safeguard the health of voters Bernie Sanders and joe biden are fighting for the partys nomination to take on donald trump in november in florida biden appears to have a commanding lead with latino voters over his rival Bernie Sanders and again i reports from miami. Bernie sanders is built a Strong Coalition with support its been the envy of rival campaigns in nevada california and texas decisively won over hispanic voters keen to embrace his socalled revolution. In florida though things a different latino voters here tend to be older more moderate and wary of a candidate who proclaims himself a socialist when you see venezuelans to have escaped oppressive pretty democratic strategist evil and perez vidia says talk of progressive politics may backfire on the sundays campaign but this he said has the same tent as the scenes that can come when he says just a letter to the people so we have to be careful with messaging we have to be careful with words according to some polls sam does messaging appears to be driving hispanic voters to former Vice President joe biden and in a state with 219. 00 delegates that could mean a knockout blow. Bernie sanders recently praised Cubas Fidel Castro saying his Literacy Program was a good thing thats a hard pill to swallow for a 1000000 cuban americans who escaped the castro regime it also resonates with nicaraguans and venezuelans who escaped socialist leaders in their homeland its a kind of deep seated fear of a self over out socialist that could spell trouble for the sanders campaign. Through myself and my has been for vote by mail Democratic Party activists its important candidates realize how left wing politics viewed by a vital voting bloc in a must win state they are a little bit hesitant when one of our candidates start praising left wing governments and not understanding how raw emotions are in the community to syria to very webmin says fears about socialism to make it hard to convince like to nose to vote for the Democratic Party i am a very blunt person and i usually tell them. Would you like their government to help you a little bit more you know would do you believe in everybody should have the same rights about healthcare and the answer yes. And i said and why are you voting republican hispanic voters here arent a monolithic voting bloc they look for a leadership varies and while many are united over issues Like Health Care education and Climate Change fear of socialism runs deep potentially boosting joe bidens bid in a state that seen as a road to the white house and gallacher aljazeera miami florida.

All the 55 National Associations european leagues European Club association and 5th. Our Sports Correspondent leave wellings says the decision may allow the domestic football leagues which are also suspended to be completed in the summer.
