Italy has lost more people to corona virus than any other country in the world their individual names risk being overlooked lost in the ever changing statistics of this pandemic but at noon in cities and towns across italy every single one of them was remembered local mass stood on the steps of their town halls in a minutes silence it was an emotional gesture of solidarity an expression of tribute and then indication of hope and. These emotions all the mayors have gathered together in a kind of hug most importantly near the places that are suffering the most but the virus has been strongly is it grief for people who died it is a sign of respect to their families and their small o. P. Communities giving a message of hope in the bleak madrid rain spains grave diggers are going about their task with grim purpose the virus claimed another 849 lives here in the previous 24 hours lockdown means the burials are lonely and heartbreakingly brief efforts to combat the virus and save as many lives as possible increased by the day this Conference Center in madrid one of several such venues across europe being converted to ease the pressure on overcrowded hospitals the french president has visited a facemask factory in western france shortages of masks and protective gowns have left medical staff exposed to the virus with the Global Market struggling to meet demand the president wants selfsufficiency. I dont like these new flood usual or fast before the crisis we are producing 3300000. 00 masks per week by the end of april it will be more than 10000000. 00 meaning we have tripled our production in just a few weeks and we will continue these efforts to increase our Production Capacity so that by the end of the year we will have full independence in producing the masks and not need to rely on other countries the virus is also proving a challenge for the European Unions democratic principles on monday the hungary and parliament granted Prime Minister viktor orban sweeping Emergency Powers to rule by decree without any time limits in brussels on tuesday the European Commission president underlaying expressed grave concern in a Statement Read out by his spokesman any emergency measures must be limited to what is necessary and strictly proportionate the most not last indefinitely moreover governments must make sure that such measures are subject to regular scrutiny coronaviruses change what might be considered normal there is nothing normal about europe streets being deserted about shops being closed about millions staying at home but one day tourists will return to the tourist a fresh array and enjoy the panorama across paris of the eiffel tower for now though the disinfecting squads barely glance at the view in the effort to combat the virus there is no such time to waste paul brennan aljazeera well we have reporters following the story across europe in a moment well speak to francesco again paternity who is in milan but 1st lets talk to monitor in madrid in spain and amar to the figures of im afraid bleak to fill us in on the latest. Yes it was see the pollution of the number of infections in spain in the past 3 days we went from a 13. 7 percent down to a 9. 3 percent it was just yesterday but today figures have changed and we have 9200 new cases of corona virus out of 94000 cases of people that have tested tested positive positive of copy 19 the death toll today has reached 8100 with again more over 800 people 849 more dead and this is the worst. So far Health Ministry out or it is saying that the out turn in the todays figures might be due to the we can to feck but people are not very are not relying on that the cause so everything is very very uncertain right resources of course because of getting stretched and stretched more and more by the day but there is news understand of new equipment arriving from overseas. Yes yesterday and today we have had been receiving planes with a lot of equipment from china with received masks ventilators and these might help a little bit to the Health Care Workers that in spain right now groups send around 1314 percent of our the total of people infected but from probably 1000. 00 in spain so these people are in our very vulnerable situation theyre battling against coronavirus in the hospitals and they havent got the proper equipment they dont have any kind of safety conditions you know the 2 to attend all these patients the even have nurses and doctors even have seen terms and there are no test kits available for them to know if there are positive or not theyre still go to the hospitals they still go back home and. Spreading the coronavirus so the situation for them is really vulnerable they have been struggling that they have been calling on claiming the government to supply immediately all the all the material or the quitman they need and hopefully start we start getting a little bit of it but but still they have to deliver it to the rest of the country they have to deliver it nationwide so there were better but we dont not steal how good we are so these people the doctors and nurses we always take she would to them i did not log 800. 00 g. M. T. With their 2 with regard to the balconies to the windows we started clapping everyone goes out to the windows even the police that are in the city trying to to. To to control the lockdown they put the sirens on so we pay a tribute but they are saying they dont want to be heroes they dont want to be martyrs anymore they just want to develop their work in proper conditions and the conditions theyre doing their work right now its terrible hospitals are overwhelmed emergency units cannot cope anymore theyre starting to think about the possibility of transporting patients from from one region of spain to the other it might be because become the epicenter of the pandemic so india. Since the outbreak of our iris and become a cult anymore weve seen how the army eastern star sporting corpses yesterday took just 4124 courses to the east ice rink they set up as a funeral home so the situation in spain is really really. Thanks very much anyway for that update talking to us from madrid. Lets move on to italy we can get more on whats happening there we can speak to Francisco Young but tony whos in milan and different just go to leave cause the hardest hit country in the world. We have yet another huge death toll. Anyway are stabilized trend in the county at least 837. 00 people died today a little bit more than yesterday the total death toll is now over 12400. 00 confirmed positive cases are more than 105000 but the growth is much slower than last week thats the good news and the record have never been so many so. They are now almost 16000 there is a glimmer of hope according to the latest forecasts based on different researches italy could reach to pick in 7 to 10 days and see the new cases hit in the 0 in the 1st half of may but as you can imagine were not even in april yet so its a very long way to go. Away from the intense pressures on the hospitals and Health Workers and so forth theres an intense pressure on individuals around the country it is struggling to deal with this the the worry and the fear of contagion. Yeah. Not just here a longer deeper specially here because d here the lockdown started 3 days before the national law down so a new law they create expected in a couple a way of days will probably extend the measures in the whole kountry up to the 18th of april for 2 weeks more the Public Opinion is wondering now whats next its been 21. 00 days since the beginning of the National Lockdown and its not clear if the government is working on any other plan than the restrictions of movement and the supports of the Health System there of course is much needed now but. The authorities know that social isolation is challenging demands a resistance of italians thats why the regions are Offering Free Services of Psychological Health support now and the interior ministry d has also allowed parents to take children for short walks close to home because this situation is starting to be really unsustainable the national t. V. And radio channels will broadcast tonight a big concert sort of live aid with musicians playing and singing from their homes of course not not all together with the aim of raising funds for the Health System and to relieve the troubles of the people stuck at home right running into the cause and its. Really we do appreciate that thanks very much lets break down to mark the whos president of the polyclinic a hospital he says theyve been building israelis largest intensive care facility dedicated to treaty about 200 kroner virus patients. Not to broker a Field Hospital its a real. That will hold that up to 208. 00 persons. In it way it has been built in the city of blen with a great offer to offer our region lumber the and its in the provision of a 1000000000 elsewhere and we will take care of this new hospital in town and it would be the most the biggest intensive care. You need to leave and we have been there really really High Pressure until 10 days ago when this hospital was soaked and the so we began to build getting 10 days we have. D. D. Or this 53 1st basis in reality hospital as i said before and you can imagine that the longer the we have. More that 6. 1500 deaths and 41000 people infected. A 12 year old child who tested positive for corona virus has died in belgium to say the girl had a fever for 3 days because her death a very rare occurrence more than 700 people have died from a virus in belgium we go has not been named as the 1st child victim in the country but the u. N. Chief says the code 19 pandemic is the worst Global Crisis since the 2nd world war and tony could tears once 10 percent of global g. D. P. To be allocated to fighting the pandemic on diplomatic editor james bays as more from the u. S. Of course very regularly we hear from the u. N. Secretary general talking about the problems of the world but i think its worth putting into some sense of proportion how seriously the u. N. Is treating the coronavirus situation the u. N. This year celebrates its 75th birthday and the u. N. Secretary general says this is the most difficult challenge the organization has faced in all that time since the 2nd world war it is a combination on my hands of a disease that represents a success to everybody in the world and seconds because it does have yes an Economic Impact yet you bring a reception at reception that probably is not parallel in the recent past the combination of the effects and there is on peoples top. In that this is that it is a no sin breast and it has conflict are scenes that make as believe that this is indeed the most challenging crisis we have faced since the 2nd world war the secretary general says that funding is urgently needed particularly for some of the poorest countries on earth he remarked that in the United States congress raise some 2 trillion dollars in the bill thats about 10 percent of the American Economy he said the world needed something on a similar scale about 10 percent of global g. D. P. To fight the virus and the economic and social effects of the virus.

Strugglers. Pleasure to play. Us about i mean. An intimate look at life in cuba. On our. One of the really special things about working proud is here is that even as a camera woman i get to have so much input in contribution to a story i feel we cover this region better than anyone else working for it as you know very. Liberally particularly because you have a lot of people that are divided on political issues. With the people we live to tell the real stories are just mended is to deliver indepth journalism we dont feel inferior to the audience across the globe. But again you want to know it is there among the top stories this and coronavirus deaths in the u. S. Have exceeded those in china United States now has the 3rd highest death toll off its own in spain with 3393 People Killed by the virus with more cases in many other countries scrambling to build hundreds of temporary hospitals. Eventually flags are flying at half mast in a minute silence has been observed to remember those whove died from corona virus is reported 837 deaths in the past 24 hours its really is the hardest hit country in the world with more than 12000 fatalities and over 105000 infection.

The u. K. Is preparing to open a new makeshift hospital in london its being set up inside a Convention Center little house 4000 beds Health Officials are expecting a surge in hospital admissions in 2 to 3 weeks you see the minister there says there are signs that social distancing is slowing the spread but now is not the time to relax those measures there are some signs as a result people observing social distancing that we may be able to flatten the spread of infection but now is absolutely not the time for people to imagine that there can be any read excitation or slackening this is a hopeful sign but we must be as stephen pointed out wary of overinterpretation any individual days data we must ensure that we maintain this United National effort in order to keep people safe so of course once again get a standing by live via skype from london and saw in your hopeful signs yet the numbers just keep on rising. Absolutely nick and this is the anticipation of this peak that were expecting here in the u. K. Over the next 2 to 3 weeks and while i think there is this seems intention for the government to try and sort of provide some green shoots as theyre pushing it to try and sort of hammer home to people how important it is that the actions that theyre undertaking now is in the sort of limiting contact with other people is so important so they can try and get the message across that this is what needs to happen if they want to see the number of infections of transmissions of hospitalized patients try to keep to not necessarily to a minimum but at least to sort of trying sort of limits some of the worst scenes that weve seen in a chile and in spain as well so while this. Is the message that has continued to be relayed by the government as well there are still ongoing questions about. P. P. About the safety Protection Equipment for the front line Health Service workers as well as also the testing now there has just been announcement from the government that they are now getting the 1st batch of these new one lone ventilates models which is manufactured by consortium in that includes full mcclaren and us the u. K. Is going to be receiving the 1st batch of them this coming weekend with about 6 units being delivered to hospitals already so that is at least answering one part of the question about sort of how to fill the. Ventilators that so desperately needed in order to try and. Get people through this pandemic in this country as well. As far as the testing is going as while still the u. K. Is lacking behind other developed countries in terms of how many people there are testing its really lacking behind germany for example by the 10s of thousands its crucial many in the front line Health Services saying for them to be able to house access to those tests because they need to be able decide what their status is youve got one in 4 Health Workers already at home either ill or exhibiting symptoms of coronavirus all of our family members are now without us putting extra strain on the house side of us as well now the hot side of the fighting drive through Testing Services for those hope with stuff but it still lagging behind and it still needs to get to that 25000 a day mark which the government has said that its going to introduce but that is still not going to be done until the end of next month. All right sunny thanks very much this sunday gang in london france germany and the United Kingdom have sent a to iran under a trade mechanism designed to avoid u. S. Sanctions it is the 1st transaction under a new system set up for the exchange of humanitarian supplies food after the United States withdrew from the 2015 nuclear deal there on has just reported 141. 00 new deaths its total to nearly 2900 thats enough from zane beds beds ravi in terror on and he explains how the trade mechanism between europe and iran works. We know that this is the 1st shipment and its medical supplies are being traded through this. Through this. Trading system now what this is. Called the instrument in support of trade exchanges it was set up as a bypass to u. S. Sanctions and to the u. S. Dominated Global Banking system after the United States pulled out of the nuclear deal and implemented sanctions on irans oil and banking sectors and the idea is its a barter system to help European Countries signatories to the 2050 nuclear deal carry on some kind of trade in food and medical supplies and other humanitarian goods with iran despite u. S. Sanctions that the initial signatories to this instax were britain france and germany as you said late last year 5 more European Countries from the e. U. Joined up certainly something that angered u. S. Officials at the time but the problem all along has been that the governments that are supporting instax to try to trade with iran have never been able to convince. A businesses to do trade because those businesses and other governments have been afraid of secondary u. S. Sanctions placed on them for doing business with iran but begs the question what is the volume going to be is this going to be good enough for future trade with iran is the wrong continue to come back to crowing about risk something that the president a few days ago said could be around for years. Now to in the city temporaries he is a Research Fellow at the roll United Services institute a think tank on defense and security she joins us by skype from london welcome to the program and he said 1st of all whats your thoughts on this how significant is. Well it is significant because the u. K. France and germany have been working on setting up these mechanisms for nearly one year and a half it represents a still a commitment and a political commitment to these 3 European Countries bottles off other European Countries who became sure all there is a long way to monday in some sort of trade and engagement with iran despite all the challenges faced with u. S. Sanctions and despite all other challenges faced with a nuclear file that regional situation and that i think that political commitment is something that its going to. Improve for some holiday british between iraq and the European Countries particularly to you kate france and germany because of immediate success however i think we cannot really talk about it being changed or when it comes to the level i think that trade and that is mechanism will ensure between the 2 sat and as far as the coronavirus is situation is concerned how important is it that iran receives this kind of equipment. I think these kind of mechanism was already discussed and in place before the current virus price is a merger and its not designed specifically to talk to the department of isis coronavirus priciest however i think with the medical devices that have been shipped and are current it will be shipped moving forward the reason a potential for some of the shortage is that iran is manifesting 2 are the at least the some of the concern not iran is facing with. The nuclear and a virus we must look forward to life off the coronavirus of course and. To what degree do you think this will encourage or maybe not encourage further Economic Business dealings of engagement with her own. I think there are has been already significant amount of interest by Small Business business. Particularly by 6 European Countries together with france germany and u. K. They have been interested in this mechanism however i think we have to remind everyone that this mechanism is for now at least maybe dedicated to humanitarian goods meaning medical devices the food and medicines and out for the time the disease is going to remain so and disease thats written that is another way to circumvent u. S. Sanctions but rather to tackle the difficulties that iran has been facing and is going to be facing moving forward despite the u. S. Sanctions good to get perspective a new super city type of music from receive thanks very much my pleasure thank you. A 14 day nationwide lockdown has come into effect in uganda in an effort to slow the spread of virus the president has already banned public transport close the borders and urged people to stay at home uganda has 33 confirmed cases in nigeria the government has imposed a 2 week lockdown for nearly 30000000 people on monday lagos and to be jeff ace major gridlock and residents hurried to stockpile supplies before the order came into effect the president has declared sation of all movement with the exception of visiting hospitals and supermarkets although to me show yellow is a Program Manager for Emergency Response the World Health Organization in africa and he says the management of corona virus in the region has to be adapted to local circumstances when confinement missiles not taken in the african contests he said that we take into account how they a Vulnerable People will continue to live in many settings we also have people suffering. From a humanitarian crisis including security we have displaced people people dot com not to fall to live without any support and the way that the confinement may have even side effects including having assessed to normal services so confinement measure really think design in a way thats some enabling intervention so that go along with it confinement and also the confinement we really contribute to reduce cases by strengthening the detest by also scaling up the treatment a capacity so one sucked into vessel like confinement is not enough to deal with you may have many side effects thats weak on event was sent they have on this on off many people not to look far to 2 men for malaria as well as that they are in many of the also so that all of them should be redesigning we fed 3 yards and then one tunnel going to out they could have it might not cement of a tunnel keeping of us services running. To germany where the city of jenner is the 1st in the country to make a face mask compulsory anyone using public transport or bent during a public building will have to cover their nose and mouth it follows austrias decision to require supermarket shoppers to wear masks Public Health experts say face mask do not prevent the wearer from picking up the virus we can help to stop an infected person passing his own i havent been near theyve really just at Lancaster University and he says its hard to dictate who should wear a mask especially since many of those infected dont show clear symptoms. Then you have to n. C. D. C. The old guard wires that are meant we are lost if someone is not in activity in action but to be honest at this echoing 19 some have it in there that really requires some remedial to be considered the 1st thing is that you have to say that if someone is not infected they should not be arraigned and if someone is infected they should mean it but the problem is that 20 percent of the people who are infected with the queer 900 they dont show you need them sawing so reckon they are in fact it but they are not showing any sign symptom so therefore they dont need to know whether they should merely dont know and if they dont merely that they are the one who will be supporting the infection and there is a strong contempt in the Scientific Community that the silence of predators are really the major break in the whole but all. Over 92. 00 given this situation i think based on what or what a logical experience i think of you after which would merely think about this one and maybe form a Coalition Level scaredy demonstrated that pace mobs or acting against infection like will live as we did highly in x. Years because most of the information that had been gathered before that all based on otherwise it and this quit 19 has some surprises and i think it should be considered a case by case basis. Not fighters ingalls are ramping up production of medical equipment to tackle coronavirus the territory has confirmed just 10 cases but Health Officials fear a wider outbreak could have devastating effects higher force it is more. Than a queen takes this is anything but business as usual the company which provides clothing and blankets to go to bed largely switched from manufacturing to importing what you can get through these really an egyptian blockade but now its rehiring laid off employees to make just one product medical grade coveralls the Health Workers preparing to confront the coronavirus enormous benefits for you lord god even though now were getting an income we can buy food for children and get them what they need before the coronavirus we could just get a bit of seasonal work.
