Well as we mentioned one of the Worlds Largest airlines u. A. E. Based carrier emirates has decided to temporarily suspend most Passenger Services from one stage because hoffman is an aviation journalist an air transport world and aviation week he says the flight suspensions at emirates are part of a global trend were likely to see more of while that shows us and its demonstrates again that no big airline is immune about the Current Crisis it is the biggest crisis for aviation in its history and even emirates have to follow this painful trends to cancel flights throughout the world im sure they would see they also assume it had it with canceling more flights in your region in the middle east so its just the latest big trend beach whats to expect that actually that emirates will also it can slow the flights or even off out s. We all know the middle east and especially dubai that change the traffic flows over the world globally over the last few years so in dubai it became one of the most important ups worldwide and every interruption of an hub like this frankfurt dubai paris whatever but dubai specially grades a big impact for the Global Travel system so this is quite a big news in this challenge in days for their vision business you have to expect this crisis vibration takes quite long that will be done a lot of travel ban still of the flight restrictions and i dont expect in the next few weeks or even months that something will go back something its the normal to Many Airlines grounded them up by fleets and emirates is the latest prominent victim on this the many Smaller Airlines which getting deep troubles but you almost see we also see now more airlines request and for requesting for aid from the governments Even Stronger of towns or one of the richest islands in the world is looking for state aid from their government. Riots in prisons in colombia have left at least 23 people dead there have been violent protests at a number of prisons as panic spreads over coronavirus inmates feared an outbreak of the virus behind bars on a sound of m. P. s hes in bogota and says the situation is now under control. It seems to have been a coordinated efforts on the part of an manned inmates to set up these protests demanding more Health Services and these very crowded prisons with very bad sanitary conditions we had seen signs of. Inmates protesting in the past days with some of them burning their mattresses for example calling for deltora these to do more for them and this all went worse than last and i think these riots weve seen videos of people that were injured both in mates and guards there are reports that one guard died during the riots. However there are no official figures yet on the number of deaths. Ok i want to take you live to london for britains Prime MinisterAbbas Johnson is holding a press conference about coronavirus pandemic lets listen to what hes going to say collectively making i want to thank the amazing workers in the n. H. S. The everybody working in social care in every city Food Distribution transport you name it absolutely everybody who is keeping this country going today and i want to thank everyone who is being forced of course to do something differently today everyone who didnt visit their mum for mothers day but face time scott and rang them instead thank you for your restraint from what you did everybody who was forced to close a pub or a restaurant. Or any other business but the could have done fantastic business on a great day like this thank you for your sacrifice i know how tough it must be and i can tell you once again that this government will be standing behind you behind British Business behind british workers employees so for employees throughout this crisis and. The reason were taking these unprecedented steps both to profit businesses support business and sport our economy and these preventive measures is of course that we have to slow the spread of the disease and to save thousands of lives and today weve come to the stage of a plan that i advertised at the outset when we 1st set out the plan of the u. K. Government when we now have to take special steps to protect the particularly vulnerable new remember that i said we wanted that the moment would come when we needed to shield those with serious conditions there are probably about one and a half 1000000 in all and in a minute to rebut general will set out the plan in detail but this shielding will do more than any other single measure that we are setting out to save life and that is what we want to do also to reduce infection and to and to slow the spread of the disease and i want to say just a couple of other things we we have to do more to make sure that the existing measures that we are taking are having the effect that we want so its crucial that people understand tomorrow that the schools are closed and tomorrow you shouldnt send your child to school in less youve been identified as a key worker and more generally in view of the way people have responded over the last few days to the measures that we have set out i want to say a bit more about how we interact out doors and of course i want. Of course they do people to be able to go to the parks and open spaces and to enjoy themselves its crucial for Health Mental and physical wellbeing but please follow the advice and dont think that fresh air in itself automatically provides some immunity you have to stay 2 metres apart you have to follow the social distancing advice and even if you think that you are personally invulnerable there are plenty of people that you can infect in twos lives will then be put at risk and i say this now on on on sunday afternoon sunday evening i take this advice seriously following it because its absolutely crucial and as ive said throughout this process we will keep the implementation of these measures under constant review and yes of course we will bring forward further measures if we think that is that is necessary so always remember in following this advice i know how difficult it is but always remember that each and every one of us you are doing your bit. In following this advice you are doing your bit to slow the spread of the disease and the more we collectively slow the spread the more time we give the n. H. S. To prepare the more lives we will save faster we will get through this and always remember we will get through this and we will beat it and we will beat it together so. Next Robert Jarrett to outline the shielding measures that were going to be bringing forward in the next few days robert but thank you Prime Minister and good afternoon as a nation were confronted with the need to make big changes and enormous sacrifices to our daily lives and this is especially true today on mothers day when many of us would want nothing more than to be at home with our loved ones in person but in recent weeks heroic workers in the n. H. S. In social care our Public Services in local government and many others have been shouldering the countrys burden and i think we owe it to them and to the most vulnerable in society to stay at home to protect the n. H. S. And by doing this to save them its 1715 in the julian if youre watching our visitor this is a press conference being held or being led by a new k. Prime minister ballers johnson who has been thanking everyone who has been responding to the governments call to stop businesses and stay at home this comes also as we have some breaking news out of italy the italian death toll from the corona Virus Outbreak has risen 565125004 176 these are official figures being reported on the Wire Services i want to bring in our correspondent john holl whos been monitoring situation farce in london john lets just talk about those numbers in italy very briefly this is of course yet another significant step up for italy. It is i mean its defending a touch lower than it was yesterday that 7 of the 63 that was a wreck or 2 i mean does this indicate a trend who knows as we were saying yesterday and said again its only now 2 weeks into. Very restrictive measures of movement of people people confined to their homes maintaining social distancing those measures to be. In hearts by the government or those at the weekend who said become the Prime Minister who will greet all nonessential businesses to close that after a lot of work has complained saying why are we having to go out and go to our jobs when the situation is too excessive perilous italy doing everything it can to get to grips with the situation but there is a lag lag time between. Imposing these measures and seeing some sort of change in the infection rate and it is the death rate the medical Health Care Services you need to be in a little bit the are absolutely well thats a massive part of the problem because people are getting sick and theyre not able to be tended to these awful decisions having to be may by that expired doctors nurses who took careful who it in some instances to allow to die as long as that situation remains at that crisis level these numbers will continue to tick up is this a turning point im going to walk out and 1520. 00 fewer fatalities today than yesterday would have to wait and see if that means well be hoping so but i would say not with a great deal of optimism at this point so john i just before we came to you obviously were listening to our bars townson the u. K. Prime minister sending out a rallying cry if you like thanking everybody has been responding as i say to the governments call to stay at home to businesses who have closed as a result as a part of the process of containing the spread of the virus but also suggesting. That now was the time to strengthen the measures in the u. K. That were already in place. But look at the beginning of the growth of the process of instituting these sorts of measures the government did set out johnson did set out a sort of program of possible measures to come if you like a menu of possible measures that come up one of which was that at a certain point in time when the government did it necessary was to tell those most vulnerable individuals in society that they simply have to shelter in place they cannot go anywhere they cannot take any of this it is they probably go to the shops now and this is deemed to be that most of the british infection rate climbing rapidly along with others this is the moment so this is a message that goes out to people who are one and a half 1000000 in the u. S. To make Boris Johnson says who have Underlying Health difficulties. Blood cancer bone cancer sufferers. All. Transplanted Cystic Fibrosis sufferers those ships at the the earth now goes out to them dont move from your homes and we are told are going to be looking to help deliver food to make measures available for these people to stay in their homes to be able to help them to go and other special measures are also to be introduced. Jonah thanks very much and in cuba is sending medical staff to lombardi to help italian doctors fight to the outbreak cuban doctors who are on the front lines in the fight against cholera in haiti and i guess a ball and west africa 10 years ago at augustine as more from havana. Over the last 15 years even doctors have saved millions of us in Latin America Asia and africa now for the 1st time a cuban medical brigade is on the way to europe. There are 36 doctors behind me and 15 nurses i spoke to some of them over the last couple of hours and i can tell you theyre very proud they insist theyre going to italy of their own free will but many of them are very nervous. But when we went to fight a bowler in west africa in 2014 we were scared too but we fulfilled our mission there and we all came back with what we going to do is cure and bring relief not only to the italian people but the worlds population that this is a global battle and we have to fight it together its not even looking for some reason why are you going on this mission if you know that cuban doctors have died on past missions. Because we are the cuban people this is cuba and were always going to keep fighting some of the moment. Has so far registered 25. 00 cases of coronavirus substantially less than most latin american nations the country prides itself on its Preventative Health care system and boasts one of the highest stock to patient ratios in the world but the countrys fragile economy is highly dependent on tourism and authorities only announced they would restrict entry into the island on friday. Were not closing the border meaning what were doing is regulating entry into the country people except those that are residents of our National Territory were not only our countrymen there are other foreigners that reside in cuba criminally were some who because of their work are here for several years. Cuba is lending italy these medics at no cost but for over a decade the leasing of doctors and nurses has been the islands top hard currency generator. With cubas Tourism Sector hit hard by the corona virus pandemic the communist party will be hoping that unprecedented Global Demand for doctors will help pay for the power food and Running Water cubans will need to get through this crisis a Silver Lining perhaps at a dark moment. Well lets turn our attention to the middle east now when the palestinian Prime Minister has announced a curfew in the occupied west bank all nonessential travel between cities towns and camps is banned by mr muhammad tires says the restrictions will apply to everyone except for Health Workers bakeries and Grocery Stores.

They defied the threat of penalties roadblocks and even ignored advice from iraqs highest she author already to avoid public gatherings despite a curfew to stem the spread of the coronavirus thousands of pilgrims from across iraq flocked to the shrine in baghdad over the weekend driven by their faith reassured by the belief that it could protect them. I am not afraid my faith is strong i love the carter Means Nothing can hurt us no disease or anything else god willing this will protect me and my family from corona charge this disease needs our prayers i didnt see any sick people collapse in front of me i have a mask and gloves in my pocket when i see an incident i can wear them local officials are worried the pilgrims could transmit the virus to people in this area joiner programs kind of brought a big burden on us because the residents of the city were very committed to all the instructions of the authorities will sterilize and purify all the location is touched and walked on by the pilgrims and maybe god will have mercy on us. This is the main entrance leading up to the shrine here in baghdad and despite instructions to penalize those who violate the curfew people here are being allowed to enter without any obstructions Security Forces say that its difficult to enforce the curfew given the religious nature of the pilgrimage. But elsewhere in baghdad Security Forces appeared less willing to compromise as of saturday they had arrested more than 300 people and find another 4100. For not respecting the curfew in the capital. In baghdad out to square the epicenter of months of antigovernment demonstrations student protesters who usually gather on sunday stayed away commercial streets remained deserted as patrols and shirt all nonessential businesses remain shut down some pharmacies and Grocery Stores are allowed to stay open for now but weve supply routes blocked and customers few and far between shopkeepers are worried about how much longer they could keep going. So we should be getting help from the government they should for example give us tax cuts or pay the rent for the shop they should find a way to supply us with goods.
