S. Could be the next hot spot infections in new york have now surge to more than 25000 and that number its rising rapidly in the past few hours u. S. Senate leaders have agreed on a stimulus package to help Health Workers and to prop up the economy well lets start in spain we can cross tomato hereto whos life for us in madrid and we look to the death toll and we hope for a drop but no 700 more in just 24 hours only italy has seen a greater loss of life. Yes you are right according to spanish officials 738 new deaths have been reported today overtaking china and spain becoming the 2nd highest country in the war with the highest death toll of spain the total number of people infected by coronavirus has also been increased by a 20 percent to nearly 8000 people so the situation is quite dramatic right now Health Ministers sources said today that we might be reaching the peak of the curve and. Health minister in a press confidence of other set this morning that this is a very hard week for us because we are in the fest stages of coronavirus and we need to overcome it absolutely a very hard week indeed i dont know how is it going on around the country our People Fairly how are they coping how they deal with it well people are quite. Quite concerned and people have assumed the whole situation we knew that the extension of these stadia off along that the Parliament Spanish parliament will be approving today it was something that was on the border of the region we know that its going to be until april 12th the the shortest period because it might be extended again so people are quite concerned without resigned and people keep staying at home to police the Police Sources say the people coming out and breaking out the lockdown have to has had to grease a lot so at least copulation publication is bringing together and we are respecting a little bit more at least the lockdown right goes a little bit more about the government measures and the fact that theyve now called in nato to help. Well like many other countries. All over the world of spain has been struggling with a lack of medical supplies for testing treatments and protection in the front line of the workers you know the situation in spain is this 14 percent of Health Care Workers being infected by corona virus and one of those measures a day teach taking here is that this is a new measure many of them are going to be staying in hotels theyre opening the doors of these hotels that have been close for tourists so all these Health Care Workers could stay there and that these prevent their own families are not being infected so Spanish Government has asked nato through through the Defense Ministry to provide testing kits ventilators undertakes to protecting here to help older men attack military and civilian population thats the story from spain from madrid tomorrow thanks very much well as i mentioned earlier russias president Vladimir Putin has postponed a constitutional referendum that would have extended his time in office in his televised speech putin called on russians to stay at home and pledged economic assistance to those in need the number of cases that has reached 658 lets cross to step back in his life for us in moscow and that we had been hearing how well russia was doing it seems to be very different story now. Exactly seems quite reluctantly put in there had to admit that russia will be more seriously hit by the corona crisis than they were promising everyone before they said they were fully in control and they were doing a much better job done other nations well now we have seen this spike in cases and now the president has ordered everyone to stay at home next week he hasnt a lab or a on how this will be enforced and it also hasnt sat how long this will continue to last and he also says that there will be some economic measures in place to make sure that people are not going to suffer in their incomes and also he has also fact that there might be more measures coming soon but this is also coming after weeks that people are starting to become more distrustful of the figures that the government has been telling them and interesting lee the government until now maintains that there hasnt been any Single Person who died of the corona virus as you can see in our report. Churchgoers kiss religious icons one after the other as if there is no covert 19 pandemic. While the Russian Orthodox church has put some measures in place to improve hygiene these religious rituals continue to be performed because many here are convinced they wont get in fact it was. In ancient times when pandemics more severe than the coronavirus happened people would carry a cross and the pandemics would stop we live according to our belief and we believe that god will protect us this is why we are not scared we look at it only in spain the services restart and churches that help them know the situation got worse than anywhere else thats my answer to you russia so far stricter measures like closing churches restaurants and shops are not necessary after quickly closing the border with china in january and imposing strict quarantine measures for people who came from affected countries the government says infections have been limited russia is praising itself for doing a better job at containing the virus compared to other countries the government says that everything is under control but people are increasingly getting worried because theres a lack of information and people this trust the official figures and the fact that hospitals like this one are quickly being built to cope with an influx of patients tells them a different story thousands of workers have been brought to this construction site outside moscow the large Infectious Diseases hospital should be up and running by mid april and aims to treat up to 500 patients other hospitals have been conferred to it into pneumonia hospitals a sign that the government might be planning to treat a coronavirus as pneumonia. In our hospital to congress and for tibets funny warning of patients without employing the related medical personnel doctors of other specialties. With these patients but dont have enough expertise this could lead to a higher death rate. A local Organization Called Doctors Alliance accuses the government of trying to cover up the corona Virus Outbreak here after a 79 year old woman died after being tested for covert 19 do you official reason given for her death was trumbo says the premise is that the girls words are to sticks collected from many different cities show us that the number of pneumonia cases have increased and that there are certain bands and orders for example doctors are not allowed to make postmortem diagnosis of pneumonia i heard from many doctors of course normally speak openly about it theyre all scared im not scared i tell it without giving names of course i get bashed for lying but i dont hide anything and have no reason to lie increasingly empty streets in moscow the largest european city show that concerns are growing the government has closed its borders for foreigners and ordered people older than 65 to stay home some are worried that if russia is faced with a large outbreak the country wont be able to cope hospitals have been closed and many doctors were laid off in recent years even large hospitals like this one would then be too little too late so it seems the biggest priority of the government right now is to make sure that there wont be any panic people who have already in the past few weeks done some panic buying and the people here have been suffering of economically their incomes have been getting lower in recent years so the main concern it seems from president clinton and the government here is to keep everything calm and all eyes are now at the president who has of course been promising stability to the russian population for the past 20 years and they want him. To continue to offer this kind of stability but its a big question if you can. Thanks very much that was a monster. To the United States where the senate will vote in the coming hours after striking a deal with the white house on a 2 trillion dollars package the funds are aimed at keeping the worlds biggest economy afloat and helping front line medical workers the agreement follows days of arguments with democrats accusing republicans of prioritizing profits because health. The senate has reached a bipartisan agreement on a historic relief package for this pandemic it will rush new resources onto the front lines of our Nations Health care fight and it will inject trillions of dollars of cash into the economy as fast as possible to help American Workers families Small Businesses and industries make it through this destruction and emerge on the other side ready to soar and speak to our White House Correspondent can be how come shes live for us in washington d. C. In kimberley it is the largest bailout in American History they got there lay out the details and just what its hope that this will do. Yeah theres no question that this is being touted as Bipartisan Legislation for American Workers that will also put Public Health 1st but make no mistake about of the corporations in this country are going to benefit enormously in fact thats a big part of the focus of this legislation is to it assets put 500000000000 in terms of emergency liquidity into the u. S. Economy so american corporations if they do get a bit of a bailout theyre going to be subject to federal oversight the u. S. Airlines getting direct grants are going to payroll tax cuts for employers now interestingly Donald Trumps own personal businesses will not be allowed to benefit from this legislation but 46000000 americans out of a population of roughly 3c3xw4x6w americans are facing almost immediate short term job loss as a result of this so tucked inside this is some pretty significant benefits for those workers even some of the gig economy who essentially may not have a sort of a stablished full time job that they will now be not only allowed to apply for Unemployment Insurance but also that it will be extended much longer and for 100 percent of their salary something that didnt exist before also in this legislation checks for ordinary American Families but only under 70000. 00 of Household Income that means that they could see checks of up to 3000. 00 for a family of 4 and also in their 130000000000. 00 for the Health Care System 150000000000. 00 for state and local government so theres a little bit in there for everyone supposedly but it still has to pass the senate and were not exactly sure of the timing of this vote but we do know it will convene in the next hour to begin that process and can we come back to donald trump talking about the United States a shake you know the whole impacts of coronavirus by the people getting back to work and so forth and he will be saying that this deal will help the process. Yeah he believes that one important point i forgot to mention about that process is just because it passes in the senate doesnt mean its a done deal is still has to pass the house of representatives which isnt even in session right now before it can then go to the white house to be signed by donald trump into law now in terms of the present hes pretty eager to get things up and running even as Public Health officials are saying things are only getting worse the numbers show that but what his argument is that there are some sectors of the u. S. Economy where there are no cases of fraud a virus so he sees this as an opportunity to perhaps allow those americans to go back to work thats a pretty controversial proposal hes still pushing it at the white house hes meeting with nonprofits today and of course hell also be holding his Daily Briefing on the krona virus with his task force were no doubt hes going to be pressed on some of those questions thats happening at 21 g. M. Team today right or a Committee Thanks very much can be how could there in washington d. C. Or new yorks governor has painted a dire prediction for the states with the number of cases soaring beyond 25000 and the rate of infection in new york state is doubling every 3 days at least 200 people have died from coronavirus related causes the Governor Andrew Cuomo says the city will need 140000 beds to care for the sick at the moment it has 53000 we have to be smarter about the way we do so is being done. The federal government has to prioritize the resources look at where the problems are reports this nation california has 2800 cases Washington State 2200 cases florida 1200 cases massachusetts about 800 cases new york has 25000 cases. New york has 25000 cases it has and times the problem that california has 10 times the problem that Washington State has you prioritize resources and your activity and your actions to where they are needed when our correspondent a real is on those life in new york the governor there really spelling it out as likely to get the help he needs. Well who knows but hes certainly calling for it because this city is shut down and this city needs help urgently you might see behind me thats the floor of the New York Stock Exchange as you see there are no traders there because theyve all been moved out of there and its all digital or tronic trading sense monday that scene you see behind me is with thousands of businesses and Office Buildings throughout this city hall that are closed under the governors orders what he governor is basically saying there is we are new york the epicenter of this in the United States as you heard him say there and hes calling for the federal government for more help for example they need 30000 ventilators in hospitals urgently the governor saying theres a shortage of these on the Global Market he says i can only buy 7000 i need thousands more of these ventilators and to give an example the u. S. Government has about 20000 that they keep in storage essentially for emergencies that the government is not releasing yet the federal government he says we need these ventilators and we need them now what the governor is basically saying is that the epicenter of this is new york and that the wave of people tens of thousands perhaps that will be sick in new York Hospitals are already lining up at hospitals there are already hospitals in new york that are 100 percent capacity hes saying give us the help now when we get out of this then we will help other states that will be hit by coronavirus wave of people that are being sick after new york so thats what the governors calling for and hes having a press conference right now where the numbers that are now about 25000 most certainly will go up and with that gave as a backdrop give us a picture of what its like on the streets of new york and how how Small Business is like coffee shops for example a ferry. Small businesses in a word decimated not only here in new york but all over the country but particularly here everything is closed gyms restaurants bookstores one of the most famous bookstores in new york city called the strand thats very popular here 250 employees all of them laid off. This city shut down the state is shut down and its an example of whats going on throughout the whole country but here particularly new york city the streets for the most part in new york city are empty let 9000000 people live in this city but for the most part they are empty see people out walking their dogs maybe going for a run but its empty that the holland tunnel the main tunnel that goes from new jersey under the hudson river and pops out in the World Trade Center area in the financial district at 830. 00 this morning on a wednesday normally would have hundreds of cars backed up to funnel into that tunnel normally would take half an hour at least 45 minutes maybe an hour to go through the holland tunnel this morning when i drove through it there were 2 cars going through the holland tunnel there was no line at all it just gives you an idea of how the city shut down the millions of people that normally would come into the city every day just arent anymore and this is going to go on according to the governor and the mayor for weeks to come the other something about empty streets on a weekday in new york there really brings the Global Crisis into sharp focus to carol thanks very much for the thank you. The United Nations is appealing for 2000000000. 00 to support humanitarian efforts will dwight to fight the coronavirus pandemic secretary general until he could tara says it was in everybodys best interest to help the worlds poorest nations. We must come to the aid of the author of prague millions upon millions of people one least able to protect themselves this is a matter of basic human soul. And it is also crucial for combating the violence the world is obvious truong so we can help system if we do not act decisively now i feel the violence will establish a foothold in the most fragile countries leaving the world most vulnerable as it continues to circle the planets spaniards know miles of borders this is the moment to step up for the problem well lets hear now from james pace our diplomatic editor. The case theyre making here is that yes every country is suffering every country right now is looking to its own problems and trying to deal with them but if you look at it that way then clearly whats not happening is what normally happens in the u. N. System which is the wealthiest countries help the poorest countries and particularly conflict zones refugee camps places with very Poor Health Systems and thats why theyre saying to all the countries in the world we know that you are suffering but we want you to dig deep to come up with money to fund a plan what would the u. N. Do with this money well before this appeal event this Virtual Event started one of those who is addressing the appeal which is the emergency relief coordinator of the u. N. Mark local i spoke to him a mist a local spoke to me from his home thats not far away from the u. N. And told me what the u. N. Is going to do with this money firstly were going to scale up testing the provision of equipment other medical support secondly were going to scale up water and sanitation and hygiene programs as we know that one of the ways people can protect themselves a bit from this is by having good personal hygiene way going to scale up information particularly ardent social distancing and all the things other things people can do to protect themselves getting the virus rather paper and then another really crucial thing they were going to do is try to compensate for the declining availability of commercial airlines by scaling up the operation of the un own humanitarian as there are thousands and thousands of aid workers who we can put to work on this problem in these Vulnerable Countries but we need to be able to get them and supplies and equipment in and now the u. N. Is all about a multilateral response to things getting the rich countries to help the poor ones but right now every country seems to be just focusing alone. On their own problems because they are so severe and its right that every country focuses 1st on its own problems its entirely right they do that but its also raw and actually the most intelligent not a strategy to do a little bit for those countries which are going to find it hardest to cope because the truth about this virus this disease is that nobody is going to be safe until everybody is safe so a smart strategy even for the richest countries has to do a little bit for these nice vulnerable ones and that is something we all saying that weve had a lot of encouragement from the donors to launch this pail where launching this 1st 2000000000. 00 to deal with the problem were seeing that politicians around the world including here in the u. S. Are providing a little bit of money for the International Dimensions of the crisis alongside the bulk of resources for the National Effort so a small thing to do is focus 1st on the National Situation but there a little bit internationally as well the emergency relief coordinator of the United Nations marlo cook speaking to me there a little earlier the u. N. Has Just Launched its global humanitarian appeal for 2000000000 dollars for the coronavirus to help the poorest people the most Vulnerable People on earth worth noting that he said the 1st 2000000000 dollars because i think they know theyre going to need more money but its already a very big aust to us the sort of money over nations will nations right now some of the wealthiest nations on earth even while we are here u. N. Headquarters in new york a struggling to deal with their own problems at this stage. To india now where people are being punished for going out to they were ordered to stay at home for nearly 3 weeks to fight the spread of the virus across the Country Police have been stopping people out on the streets some look down violators theyre being physically punished public transport has been suspended but Grocery Stores and pharmacies they remain open people are also allowed to go out for essential work during the lockdown. And of britain the government is in desperate need of volunteers lets go straight to join ali joins us live from london and preparations are very much underway in the u. K. For whats expected to come. Yes the National Health Service Across the United Kingdom in desperate need of a knock up scaling of capacity and of help nick as you mentioned there thats all going on now in all sorts of different ways in all sorts of different places one of them is here the xcel center behind me in london its an enormous conference and event venue it once held the g 20 at the height of the financial crisis is now preparing of course for a very different kind of crisis that turning it into a massive Emergency Hospital its said to be ready next week with 500 beds scaling up to 4000 in the weeks ahead and as i say there are other venues preparing to do the same sort of thing across the country as well 250000 volunteers have been called for by the n. H. S. To help in a vaccine kept behind the scenes capacity. Acts and n. H. S. Staff retired staff are being reregistered and brought back on board theres a lot of upscaling going on and some good news in that context came out of a Parliamentary Committee hearing earlier today where professor Neil Ferguson now hes got form hes a scientist with Imperial College london whos report was very persuasive in getting the government to change its stance on in hans its position on social distancing and isolation at home he has said the combination of this upscaling that will deliver a doubling in Critical Care beds and the stay at home guidelines and social dissident guidelines mean that in his view the n. H. S. Broadly will now be able to cope albeit with severely stressed portions of it in parts of the country he predicts the onset of the peak of the virus here in the u. K. Will be in 2. 00 to 3. 00 weeks time nic and to give you an idea of the scale that this country faces in terms of numbers in london alone he said a city of 9000000 people he expects up to 10 percent of the people to contract the virus thats near the numbers thats 900000 people extraordinary numbers now theres news of a new test kit being made available in the United Kingdom. Thats correct and thats come up this afternoon when it came up earlier in the week the Health Secretary matt hancock said that hed ordered 3 and a half 1000000 of these tests newly devised tests a little prick of the finger its rather like a pregnancy test you take a little sample of blood at home you get a little line which appears next to something that indicates that youve got the corona virus it takes just 15 minutes to do this test now in the same parliamentary hearing a senior official at Public Health said that there were millions more of these tests on offer and that as soon as next week they would be available not just a frontline National Health Service Staff who so badly need urgent testing to adopt them to avoid the sort of mandatory 14 day isolation period for the mere suspicion of symptoms of coronavirus but also to people self isolating at home it will be revolutionary if this is the case if it is widely available as a say it will strengthen the n. H. S. Further and allow so many people to get back to what passes for normality these days very much more quickly or identity thanks very much for that jane hall there in london.

Israels parliament is set to vote for a new speaker in a push to break the political deadlock there Yulia Edelstein resigned after the High Court Ordered him to allow a vote on his replacement critics accuse him of paralyzing parliament to help his close ally the caretaker Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier this month the Opposition Leader benny gantz was tasked to form a new government after 3 elections in the space of a year no party has been able to form of working majority through force it is the latest now from west jerusalem its Opposition Party since the march 2nd election have in alliance a majority in the knesset the parliament 61 seats out of one 120. 00 so they have under law the right to vote in a new speaker and thereby put themselves in the driving seat in terms of the agenda of the parliament start passing legislation that the likud party of Benjamin Netanyahu may well not like and so edelstein had been pausing the knesset had suspended the knesset last week then on monday he was told by the high court that he had to have a vote to see a replacement voted in by today by wednesday rather than exceed to that ruling he has instead resigned and said his resignation would only take place or be effective from 48 hours from now that means that any vote to replace him would be further delayed into next week and so now blue and white the main Opposition Party led by benny gantz it is called on him to have the vote anyway that the council to the knesset says the Legal Council says he would be in breach in contempt of the law if he failed to have this vote today nonetheless he is still refusing so it may well be that there will be another action another petition to the High Court One has already been lodged by an ngo to try and force this through today and get this new speaker installed so this crisis hasnt been resolved just yet.

This is a very difficult task because there are so many issues to be conceived that you know theres sports or callender offer 33 International Federations faked it directly the sports callender overall use of. Directly we have to take into consideration also the. Means when and how can the organizing committee provide their vain use of the olympics really change many other issues more we are in close contact with the International Federation already yesterday or they have been contacted we will have another call tomorrow. Because they infect will have to look into their callender and they will make us a recommendation. There also considering the competition and training period and. So we had a very early stage im really sorry that i can not give you a final and say that this is why we have established these task force which are by the way gave a very nice name here we go and what are we are doing to prepare the best possible games under these extremely difficult circumstances and in a case which are there is no blueprint it so the 1st time you know olympic history that we have to address such a postponement so give us a little bit of time please the postpone it is of course a huge blow d for japan who has spent billions of dollars on a limb preparations but turkey has governor admits there are more at ease following the decision. There is a part of me that is relieved but i think it is going to be tough different Staff Members have to work on each and every part it also depends on the local government in the event there are lots of problems such as what to do with volunteers but even so it was still better than the olympics being canceled.

From my friends but its a christian if youre going to risk it were going to be there with you and that actually scared me you know and so. I really had a sigh of relief knowing that they were going to be safe beyond that you know when i looked at big picture this was the right call to make but the small bit of on the selfish side you know as a 2 time olympic champ you know this is this is a lifetime dream this is a goal and i thought maybe i can you know this was 2020 was the year of tokyo 2020 with the year out of defending that title or gaining that however you want to look at it but you know now i have tokyo 2021 funny shots from japan with visitors have been getting one last look at the olympic flame at a special display in the prefecture organizers are still considering what to do with the flame while the games are postponed.
