The number of confirmed cases in france has passed 25000 with more than 1300 people having died french president Manuel Marquardt has called on the army to help even withdrawing troops from iraq well doctors in spain say theyre struggling to cope with the rising number of infections many say theyre overworked under protected with the country facing a severe shortage of medical supplies deaths in spain have now exceeded the total in china paul brennan has more on the situation from across europe. Its a very a chore hospital in madrid coronavirus patients now occupy almost every available space. There are beds for 80 patients at this unit as many as 280 people at a time of being treated here and that means chairs trolleys and even floors will have to do its putting unsustainable pressure on spains medical staff 14 percent of whom have themselves become infected. You are afraid for yourself and you are afraid of bringing the virus home because of your family to hear the most of us we are emotionally overwhelmed because we are spending more time at work and working doubly hard because the patients are scattered throughout the hospital. Spain has now joined its early and surpassing chinas death toll from corona virus and the upward curve of the infection shows no sign of slowing in the sense italian Prime Minister is hopeful that stringent restrictions are helping to flatten the upward trajectory of the death toll but in the face of stubborn pockets of noncompliance anyone called leaving their home without good reason now faces an increased financial penalty as much as 3200. 00. Care homes for the elderly have become the latest battlefront in the war with the virus all of spains 5500 homes are in quarantine some residents are left to die in their own beds in france at a single care home near vote 21. 00 elderly residents became fatalities but he too would it be. Something people at 1st we thought it was just a simple flu in looked like everything with the thing before but after just 3 days of confinement we realized it wasnt at all the same as usual usually in 3 days we can find and the number of cases decreases reputably that was not the case here it was the opposite after a week it was still rising. According to an internal e. U. Document seen by the Reuters News AgencyMember States are struggling with limited stockpiles of medical and protective equipment and limited capacity to scale up or production the document warns the traditional supply chains can only provide 10 percent of whats needed European Union leaders meet in a video summit on thursday to consider that issue and more than one proposal for a special a huge Crisis Center to be established paul brennan aljazeera if you trillion dollar coronavirus rescue package has passed its 1st hurdle after getting the approval of the u. S. Senators now the money is for helping frontline medical workers and keeping the Worlds Largest economy afloat like our explains. After days of wrangling the senate votes of the bill the political divide for once bridged as democrats and republicans support the package the senate has got to stand together act together and pass the start relief package. Like all compromises this bill is far from perfect but we believe the legislation has improved sufficiently to warrant its quick consideration and passage the treasury secretary was at the center of negotiations that led to the bills passing just how do we make sure that American Workers who needed to keep getting paid this is no fault of their own that businesses have been shut down the president and Vice President want to make sure those hardworking americans got money and this was the most efficient way of doing it the President Trump says hell sign the bill as soon as possible expressing the hope that it will speed up the return to normality and an easing of the shutdown and really claiming that some of his opponents are using the crisis to harm his election chances later this year. I think there are certain people that would like it matter open so quickly i think there are certain people who would like it to do financially poorly because they think that would be very good as far as defeating me at the polls the democratic mayor of the city at the epicenter of the pandemic says new york needs a far greater slice of funds from the stimulus package blaming the Republican Senate leader for the shortfall so it should have been one of the easiest no brainers in the world for the u. S. Senate to include real money for new york city and new york state in the stimulus bill and yet it didnt happen new york city only gets 1300000000. 00 from this package that is a drop in the bucket and both mayor and governor are seeking the support of fellow democrats in Congress Greater funds for new york state and city is likely to be just one of the amendments that will be demanded when the bill goes to the house of representatives for a vote and while the senates job is now done another standoff is looming that could further delay the stimulus bill going to the white house for signature mike hanna aljazeera washington. Month long state of emergency has come into effect in thailand the country has reported 100 under the level you provide us cases bringing the total number to 1045 on thursday people are vehicle 17 are being urged to stay at home and public gatherings abound well for the very latest we can cross over to bangkok our correspondent scott hyla joins me now i mean scott the state of emergency now in acted i mean what does this really mean for the public at large across thailand. So hill right now its very little difference and what weve seen over the last say 10 days there have been restrictions and closures steadily over id say you know most of it came on sunday thats when all shops all businesses retailers had to close other than supermarkets and pharmacies and then when sent selling there in this it necessity for daily life all those were closed schools have been closed for at least about 2 weeks so what were looking at right now with this state of emergency that just came into effect it really gives the government much more power than they had previously and again it goes until the end of april so that means that at any time when they want to impose a curfew they will they have not done so yet they can restrict travel within the country they havent done that yet there are checkpoints set up but they havent restricted travel just yet and Something Else they announced just over the last 24 hour or so here and that is that any foreigners trying to come into the country cannot come in unless the residents there are Foreign Residents of the nation and also even thais coming back to thailand they have to prove that they have a clean bill of health and have been checked for the coronavirus of course called preparations and procedures in place that you know thailand does not oblivious to whats going on around it so that there is increasing infection numbers and death tolls globally certainly impacting on the worries of those in charge of trying to keep it down in thailand. Absolutely no you know thailand at the very early stages of this pandemic thailand and the most cases outside of china obviously a lot of countries past them surpassed them in those numbers but whats been concerning here in thailand really prompted this state of emergency announcement and the closure not essential business as it is because weve seen a spike over the weekend there was a spike one day saturday about 20 percent from the day before then it went up to 45 percent more the next day so weve seen this kind of plateau a little bit but those numbers are very concerning and we get now are about 8008045 cases here in thailand a benchmark that was just reached a so obviously theres a great deal of concern its a nation of 69000000 when you look at the numbers its still not that big of a percentage but obviously because its been increasing that has prompted the government to act and this is what theyve done imposed a state of emergency in bangkok thank you. Leaders of the g. 20 group of nations will hold an emergency Video Conference later today to discuss the pandemic the 27 leaders of the e. U. Which is also the breaks new hotspot would also join in saudi arabia is the host nation Top International organizations including the u. N. The world bank will also take part theyre having to develop a coordinated Global Response to the virus well one of the countries will be there will be south korea robert broad our correspondent in seoul joins me now and rob the g. 20 expected to have that Video Conference south korea obviously expecting to be able to impart some very Important Information have a largest say in whats going on and perhaps offer some some lucians. Thats right its a president mungy of south korea in fact has been suggesting and pushing for this call by the g. 20 and it does trying to get a global coordinated response to what is a Global Crisis of course south korea and also china probably having more experience than most in not only dealing with this Public Health emergency but more important especially to many of the g 20 members is how to bring it under control taking very different approaches as we know china favoring more strict stringent measures complete lock downs of provinces and cities south korea taking a more open approach at all costs trying to keep things like airports still operating and trying to use the cooperation and support of the public which largely it gets but working alongside massive wholesale testing throughout the country and also complete transparency of saying yes we have a crisis but these are the numbers and by doing so keeping the trust of the public and we are still seeing quite significant numbers here but you do get a sense that the public supports the government believes it has this under control 104 new cases of been reported but more than half of those have been the cases imported people have come into the country or have been found at points of entry and thats really where the focus is at the moment for south korea is increased testing and also the downloading of apps on your device that monitors your health for 2 weeks period in some cases self isolation especially on flights coming from europe thats been in place for a while and from this weekend with growing concerns about the u. S. Those small stringent measures will be applied to visitors from the United States their decision to that south korea is also set up a task force to handle the creasing number of countries wanting testing kits from here more than 50 countries so far also wanting other bits of quick meant. Could also share with fellow World Leaders the fact that by taking stringent measures by being proactive it doesnt harm you politically because hes actually found that hes had a surge in supporters Approval Rating has gone up over 50 percent which is the highest for a year which possibly other World Leaders may be facing elections of their own might well take note of for the update robert reich thanks for joining us from seoul Canadas Parliament has passed a 57000000000. 00 package to stimulate the economy a 1000000 canadians and filed jobless claims in a week Prime MinisterJustin Trudeau spoke about Financial Aid outside his home where he too is in self isolation this is an unprecedented situation with an overwhelming amount of demand by canadians to get money as quickly as possible we need to make sure were getting that money out quickly but also reliably to canadians and that means doing things that government hasnt done before and scaling up our processes extremely quickly.

Well this is exactly an appeal for that it is a humanitarian appeal for those countries in conflict for those fragile states for refugee camps its always placement camps. That emetic humanitarian needs that need to go on being met but on top of that the surete of coffee at 19 and you need to do everything to prevent the disease to come to those areas to the extent possible and at the same time in those areas you have people sometimes in slums of big cities or in camps in which its very difficult to have isolation there is no water in the households and sometimes no soap facilities are extremely rugged mountain and so we need to boost to the response capacity in those areas thats why we have asked and we mobilize all u. N. Agencies that have trust with president movement large number of n. G. O. S we mobilized all to Work Together and with those funds with those 2000000000. 00 to make sure that we are able to. Ever strong push for prevention in those vulnerable areas and at the same time to bring the equipment to that is required the ventilator staffs suits are for the the stuff to allow for contact with people impacted youve called for a global ceasefire are in conflict zones but let me give you a couple of examples in recent weeks things have been going in the opposite direction in some of those conflicts let me ask you how worried you are about the increase in hostilities in yemen well i am even if one of the most important movements in yemen has declared that they would accept this ceasefire or that the appeal of ceasefire and we have other arms movements in other parts of the world saying that they would be ready to abide by it all especially believes and invoiced everyone in the world are pushing to make sure that these it believes that as lady in the poem at the action bringing together the parties to the conflict for the ceasefire to become of you know it it we have he should lives in syria and yemen in libya in very in many other parts of the world and i hope that these appeal will be heard then that people will understand that there is only one was that is necessary today its a war against the vibes you mention libya that there was already supposed to be a humanitarian poor in libya but one side has not been respecting it general half the in recent weeks seems to have intensified his campaign whats your message to him its necessary to stop and i believe that in the last few days there was a clear the cookies and i was the early days even if even the day before yesterday there was a very meaningful attack but this is the moment to stop all military action this is the moment to concentrate on fighting cause 1000 were already seeing covert 1000 cases in gulzar youve been there you know its one of the most crowded places on earth how are you supposed to self isolate if youre someone living in a place like gaza. Well it is extremely difficult but the same applies to the slums of big cities in different parts of the lobbying world to refugee camps it is much more difficult and that is the reason why we massively need support for those areas and we massive need to increase the capacity to respond and they all services that are so weak in those areas need to be very quickly boasted midnight on thursday marks the start of a 3 week lockdown in south africa where theres been a dramatic increase in infections the country recorded a 6 fold rise in 8 days taking the confirmed number of cases to more than 700 its the highest rate in South Africa Police and the military have been deployed to enforce the law down which includes bans on dog walking and alcohol sales.
