Initially worse much much quicker than weve seen just in the general public and heres why there are 17 levels of stairs and lights on the Aircraft Carrier us and if you go to the stairs theyre pretty steep theyre pretty dangerous you have to pull around so imagine you touch your face you touch the railing another 5000. 00 people are going to use you know savings and sterols they sleep about half of the list of groups of about a foot have above each other its such a tight corner they can actually rule over in your sleep because your shoulders for this and they all eat together so we can have the ships of this really extraordinary mother say we have to have that with you was 5000 people sealers aboard the ship there you have 10 percent already for security for meaning and what we see is a part of the secretary of defense interview saying its not time to have that we ship that is in sharp contrast to what this captain said just chimes of the essence he wants to see some sort of 40 barracks up and. Now spains government is advising its doctors not to admit coronavirus patients aged over 80 in 10 tents of care and leaks document published by spanish media says that Health Workers have been told to prioritize younger patients spains Just Announced its worst single day death toll so far with 864. 00 fatalities in the past 24 hours its now the 5th day in a row its recorded more than 800. 00 deaths taking the total toll above 9000 online to herrera joins me now live from the spanish capital in the dress lot of tell us a little more about this document thats been eaten how people are reacting to it i mean i imagine there must be a lot of people very angry well 1st of all we have to see that this document is from the Energy Services the Health Care Services in got along the line you know which is which is the 2nd region more heated in spain by coronavirus they have to reduce 30 day a death toll of 1900 there so the situation room is getting really critical and one document from the Health Care Services has been leaked to the media everyone say calling and stalking about this were the indicated practical to follow one that any system is collapsed what theyre saying this document is that they have to limit the efforts in patients over 80 and prioritize are there are patients that have that come benefit in terms of years so heres a worst possible so we possibility also buying any we help them ministers sources how do you not completely this document marseilles see the spanish are now also considering doing what the french did so moving covert 1000 patients to other regions in order to try to take the pressure off the capital which is so overstretched already. Yes well were told today that explain is sane exceeds that 100000 cases of coronavirus and has reduced toured lesser number of cases from yesterday to today so thats a good indicator indication that this could get better and it could reflect that the effects of tougher measures of these lockdown are being shown but the death toll has increased in another very very back. To up 290000 people with 849 knew that these means that. These the omegas units that were overwhelmed last week and the government was thinking about transporting patients from one region to the other by by many means even train medical out trains they didnt know how but there were there were just planning greenlighting do says theres issues they have the possibility so maybe we see in the next day that this takes place something will be following very closely matara there for us in madrid thank you martha well for the 1st time china has added 1000 patients who show no symptoms to its daily count 130 such cases have been recorded just in the past 24 hours 1500 others have been put in quarantine now World Health Organization guidelines say that asymptomatic patients should always be included in a daily tally as they are in many other countries well lets speak to katrina you who is live in beijing for us katrina theres already been some controversy about the way that china has been counting cases this change how much of an impact is it likely to have on numbers. Thats right and as i say it has its going to have a Significant Impact they doing this week is very much on the defensive about its coronavirus doctor because recently a local transmission seemed to have slowed to a trickle were seeing 0 cases all single digit cases reported daily over the past week and the government all but declared a victory but the public felt very differently they have been concerned for some time about these asymptomatic cases that is people with covered 9000 who do not present symptoms now china has never added these to its official tally as you mentioned against World Health Organization guideline saying well authorities maintained that they didnt have any solid evidence that these cases were infectious in the community but over the weekend in recent days in china there have been some very well publicized cases proving that people have caught korvin 1000 from from asymptomatic carriers and now the government really has changed its tune so as you mentioned from today on wednesday theyve or theyre going to start reporting daily new asymptomatic cases so weve got 130 bringing the total of these cases asymptomatic cases to 1367 now in china the government has said that even though or they havent added these to the official tally previously they have been protecting the community saying that even that these cases have been quarantined for the requisite 2 weeks when they have been discovered but people still are quite angry and also its raised a lot of questions here because this isnt the 1st time china has changed the way that its counted corinna virus cases actually change the methods a number of times over the past few months and people really are critical and skeptical about these government figures now according to the official figure 81000 people have been infected with corona virus in china but analysts believe an increasingly members of the public believe that number could indeed be much much higher katrina you there for us in beijing thank you very much for that update katrina. Well u. S. Health officials are now contemplating whether to recommend Wearing Masks in public now austria is the latest country to make it compulsory for its citizens to wear surgical masks while shopping i think its all since in this is that unfortunately its difficult at the moment to order masks and high quantities on the world market but presumably starting on when the supermarket chains will begin to hand out the most to every person who wants to go shopping as of the time when mosques are being handed out in front of supermarkets it is mandatory to leave them inside while shopping us. Well people will also be made to wear mosques in supermarkets or in public areas in the german city of jenna as of next week now thats despite the Health Minister saying theres no need for it to be mandatory warning that it could provide a false sense of security since the start of the outbreak the World Health Organization has advised against people Wearing Masks unless they were infected or caring for people who are bus in countries like the Czech Republic and slovakia mosques are now compulsory and its believed that it has helped to keep their number of cases down well lets now speak to dar dr our athena moss she is president of the Hong Kong Public Doctors Association and she joins us now on skype from hong kong dr martin no one so far been able to give me a satisfactory answer about what seems to be a real contradiction here so were being told that Wearing Masks werent protect the public but then we at the same time we should leave the small supply for Health Workers who need the mosques to protect them so do mosques actually offer protection. Arm her the all are we do in hong kong we do believe Wearing Masks or we caught it universal asking that means everyone wear surgical masks when they go out explicitly on the Public Transportation is you have still to stop the transmission of the ankle the virus in the public because we start to have this universal masking in hong kong so. Once we get a 1st in part to cases from a net and actually we well not many number a large number of locally in fact the patients in hong kong but i understand that. Surgical masks are surprised is limited we should 1st paro ties to the Health Care Workers but eve the surprise is in now we should actually advocate everyone to wear surgical mask specially like in hong kong we have a highly population most of our people are using a Public Transportation so dr my it is your opinion then that masks to do make a difference they do provide some sort of protection more so than not wearing a mask and i recall that back in 20000 during the 1000 outbreak that masks Wearing Masks was actually even more effective than not to hand washing if i recall correctly. I think for all kind of corn the runner is infection Wearing Masks as well as hand washing imported 1st of all is a droplet are transmitted infection so wearing my ass can help you to stop getting someone effected drunkeness and also get your druthers to someone else although i know that some countries just airing roswell infected individuals but really most remember there are certain numbers of coroner r us insight that patients actually asymptomatic so they even dont know and in fact it and actually used the 2 are transmitted to d. C. s even before you develop symptoms so i think universal masking is important as you say more people may be and asymptomatic than we initially thought so its your opinion that everyone should be Wearing Masks i believe theres also a psychological aspect here talk us through that and how thats played out in hong kong. Of course very much. You need to look for it 1st of all you need to pay for getting a mask in hong kong this couple of months every one of us good. Boy searching for surgical masks are actually. Start to have our own production line for manufacturing are all liars because its very difficult for you to get mass from countries like maine and also is a shit who are so ready to also get their own epidemic of the ankle we infections so besides the Economic Impact of. Buying mars for everyone Wearing Masks also mix certain distant vision people you cannot look at the face well you can not see the equation expression well if you do at some distance between people so what however in this pandemic i think the butler have issues should go on the top of the power of t. V. Dr my you were talking there about the short supply of mosques and given that they are in such short supply there are different mosque options now being made available including people trying to make themselves mosques at home so what should people be looking for when theyre trying to patch us mosques or and or in fact just trying to make their own to protect themselves out of whatever they have to hand. I think the most important our features are useful mass is that 1st of all you need our bacterial theme tour and also the mosque should be able to are with power water you will get so if you are got some drachmas spill on it. Yes as you said many people find it difficult to find a suitable surgical mask some people if they are sold their mosque put the funerals neuter in the middle of a pieces of color although it is not as good as for more surgical mask but also do give you some sort of protection dr. The president of the Hong Kong Public Doctors Association and courage and all of us to wear face masks during this pandemic thank you for joining us youre welcome all disease specialists now also criticizing the math brain of disinfectant in the fight against the virus now footage of on sunday of a group in india being washed down by men in protective suits the video this video that youre watching now is course widespread anger and the local administrator has apologized saying that no one was had. Well in Indonesia Special chambers have been set up to give people a quick last with chemicals to get rid of potential jams on their clothes and skin drones and fire trucks are also being used however some experts say that mass disinfecting in itself is a Health Hazard and that more targeted cleaning would be a better use of resources. We earlier we spoke to dr jason wang hes the director of the center for policy outcomes and prevention at Stanford University and he says the use of disinfectant sprays helps people psychologically but has no real benefit. I think a massive spread of corn and chloride probably will cause more harm. Than good to the population one of the things that we know about this chemical is that it gets through the skin so it can cause skin irritation it gets to the lungs so it was slowed down the story motions in the lungs and they could so in some cases the 2 asthma and some of the cases also showed that they could affect the eyes and so i think its probably more psychological than actual benefit to the population if one were to use this chemical maybe in a more targeted area where you avoid the crowds for example in the complement in a hospital room where people could be touching the servers i think that makes more sense than the massive spread in the population and finally allowed to come and personal hygiene is very important so you know teaching people to wash their hands and the boy touching things touching their eyes is probably more effective than a massive spread of chemical. Now iran has reported another 138 coronavirus deaths making it the 6th country now to see past 3000 deaths nationwide iran has banned all into city travel until at least april 8th or 30th closed parks on wednesday in order to prevent people from gathering to mark nature day a traditional festival in which families picnic outdoors and now more cases of covert 19 have emerged in india among attendees of a muslim religious gathering in new delhi as many as 2500 people from across india and other countries were at that meeting 128 have now tested positive 7 have died or thirtys have sealed off centers belonging to the to be missionary group and are now tracking down those who attended india is currently under lockdown with people ordered to remain indoors until april 15th elizabeth purana has more from the capital on the dispute over whether the group should have been gathering at all.

Theres not a time for finger pointing right now as the country faces a much bigger bashing of coronavirus but this has led to you know so many cases now that there is there is a fallout over this orlando authorities in india also scrambling to arrange food aid and money for the hundreds of thousands of Migrant Workers returning to their home villages with businesses in big cities closed and transport Options Limited many have been left with no choice but to walk the several 100 kilometers home some people have died under the physical stress of walking while others were killed in road accidents.

Well now its time for the weather and heres rob to tell us about an unusually cold start to spring i went through a mild winter youd think europe would be expected soon you unfortunately it could be a bit of a problem is the picture of poland snow in march not a big surprise as its been a very mild winter so this is a bit of a shock but maybe no more than that that you look at the way this cloud is moving is more cloud diving than Eastern Europe has seen the snows in the breeze for a little while now the last cold front the brought a real cold air is this one here thats running morrisons the black sea temperatures at dawn of low these are the one time she is ness observed in many places again maybe dont surprise dr mild winter it has been because that mild winter has prompted an early spring and early flourishing of fruit trees this is one of the techniques that you tend to use where farmers use to try and stop the frost damaging these fruit trees of course if that happened you get no fruit and we do that.

A leaked document published by spanish media says doctors are being advised to not to admit patients over the age of 80 into intensive care spains announced its west single day death toll so far with 864 fatalities in the past 24 hours.

Has opened in east london the temporary hospital went up in just 2 weeks but the government is under pressure to increase testing especially for people working for its National Health service the u. K. Has reported over 25000 infections and more than 1000 deaths so far well lets go to worry chalons whos live in london for us hes outside a Convention Center thats being turned into a hospital rory the u. K. Is clearly trying to beef up its treatment capacity but i see it still lagging very far behind its european counterparts on testing so whats the hold up. Yeah just a slight change the. Hospital isnt actually open yet for patients we dont know quite when thats going to happen its expected to be friday before the 1st ones are wheeled into the the new Nightingale Hospital behind me they are still putting the finishing touches to it the. Footage that we have seen from inside shows a very well equipped space with beds and all the medical equipment you would expect we know that things are different in other parts of the n. H. S. In other parts of the Hospital System with medics and doctors saying they dont have the right personal protective gear and youre right testing being a real problem for the u. K. Its not really clear why it is such an issue the u. K. Is only really doing less there were fewer than 10000. 00 tests per day most of those of the patients not many its hall for frontline medics the government has said that it doesnt have the correct equipment so that it doesnt have access to the right chemicals and these are the reasons why things are lacking behind say germany which is testing many times more people than the u. K. Is at the moment but there are arguments that the government is putting out is slightly undermined least by Chemical Companies and academic institutions saying hold on weve been offering you chemicals for days if not weeks now weve been offering you lab space and access to medical testing equipment and we havent really heard back from you so yes the government is aiming to ramp up testing over the coming days but its still lagging as you say quite a long way behind rory its now been a week by my count since the u. K. Went into lockdown and i see unemployment is on the up Small Businesses have been going under how are people there coping. It is tough and its going to get much much tougher there is no doubt about that i was approached yesterday when i was doing my reporting on the streets of south london by a very upset man who was a selfemployed taxi driver and he was saying his business has completely dried up he doesnt have access to the selfemployed lifelines that the government has announced until june and youve been trying to speak to his mortgage provider to get one of these mortgage holidays that has been promised of people whose income has dried up and he couldnt get that yet so a lot of people out there in these sorts of situations very very worried about the next few weeks and Accountancy Network has said that one in 5 businesses Small Businesses could go under because they cant get access to the government lifeline cash supplies and they dont have the right amount of money to get through the next 4 weeks the bank of england has been leading quite heavily on private lenders banks etc to suspend Dividend Payments to shareholders and bonuses to bankers and it looks like some of those at least are following what the bank of england is asking them to do because they will need to hold on to that money so that it can be loaned out or made available to the people who are going to need it desperately in the days and weeks to come or a challenge there for us in london thank you very. Well mexico has declared a public Health Emergency as the number of confirmed cases there 1000 several countries across latin america and the caribbean and now extending calls for people to stay in their homes reports from mexico city. Mexican Health Authorities are warning the countrys Health System could become overwhelmed by the spread of code 911. This week mexicos deputy Health Minister called for a voluntary 30 day isolation period and declared a National Public Health Emergency is. This is our last chance to avoid contagion or we cannot limit the damage we do not want to live in the situation that other countries of facing. In brazil concerns are growing that Public Health services could collapse by the end of april as the number of covert 9000 infections continues to grow authorities in rio have begun repurposing schools and events spaces to tend to the most vulnerable like the citys Homeless Population is. This space will be for shelter from those who accept being protected from coronavirus because this population is the most vulnerable and the streets they are very exposed in latin america calls for self isolation as the best defense against covert 19 or intensifying in cuba a lot down is in effect until at least the end of april and only citizens or Foreign Residents are being allowed into the country all travelers arriving from abroad are sent to a Quarantine Center for a period of 2 weeks. I live in the United States but i came as soon as i saw how the problem with coronavirus was being handled because this is my country where my family is and i have more confidence in the Public Health system here than anywhere else. At least a dozen latin american countries have imposed mandatory quarantines to fight contagion authorities in mexico however say they do not intend to enforce that people stay home a policy that could change given the relaxed attitude many here have over the viral threat. Mexico city. Well it seems brazils president john abell sonar has now changed his tone on the countrys outbreak response there after initially describing private 1000 as a little flu on tuesday he called the virus one of the greatest challenges of our generation to lose even if we have a mission saving lives without even jobs behind on one hand we need to be cautious with all mainly the old and losers just as uses of the we need to fight unemployment which proves that happens especially among the poor we will accomplish this mission at the same time we will take over the Peoples Health for. The 1000000. Brazilians angry is also known as handling of the outbreak a staged a noisy demonstration from their homes for a 15th straight night but his actions have won support from those demanding that life return to normal brazil has nearly 6000 cases with more than 200 deaths well Video Conferencing presume has seen a surge in popularity as people walk and socialize from home but there are serious concerns about the platforms tens of millions of uses that they could be at risk now tech experts have reported user data leaks risky installation techniques and vulnerabilities that led to malicious websites access peoples webcams new yorks attorney general has risen to the company about its weak security and its also facing a Class Action Lawsuit where we can speak to kathleen to go on to shes an assistant professor in private lot master at university and also a comanager of master at slow and tech lab she joins us on skype from the netherlands so kathleen it seems been a popular Video Conferencing out for some time but with this pandemic its meant so many more meetings happening online not only social meetings but also for instance i see the british Prime Minister chairing his Cabinet Meeting on zoom so just how secure is the platform. So good afternoon person of all it what we need to think about in terms of zoom is that were seeing this crisis bringing an end precedented amount of people online and then theres a lot of concerns about their safety and also their privacy. How how secure is doing a lot of security and privacy experts such as our been there ryan and from Princeton University are actually calling zoom malware and why is that because the way in which it gets installed on peoples computers is very similar to the way in which Malware Software operates so a lot of Security Experts have been calling it out as rather dubious in the way in which it practices these installation packages so one thing that we can say is that there is an authentication protocol zoom authentication tool dad can be interpreted as a little bit of a backdoor so that zoom but also other actors such as militias actors can can really do some nasty things with computers that have installed soon kathleen i think in terms of privacy there is an option called attention tracking that zoom office can you tell us a little more about that and what that might mean for people who just dont necessarily want others to know what theyre doing online. So that is a very interesting feature that has really led a lot of a lot of experts and a lot of critics actually to to bring to the floor of the danger of surveillance surveillance undertaken perhaps by employers so the attention tracker tool is basically a feature or a part of the zoom service that allows a host dads shares screen to check if the participants in a zoo meeting are actually actively focusing on the window of the conference so of the teleconference so this has been really criticized as a means for employers to really check actively if their employees are paying attention to different teleconferencing meetings or different activities that they need to do online and this type of Employee Surveillance has really. Been receiving a lot of attention in research and Academic Research and there are some interesting projects for instance at the university of southern ga and in that respect kathleen i believe weve also seen issues of hacking recently were talking metal these teleconferencing i mean people are joining meetings and shouting racist abuse even pornography appearing on screen zoom bombing i believe is what theyre now calling it i mean its obviously an even bigger issue now that a lot of schooling is being done online with thoughts of Young Students so what can people do about that to try to protect themselves. So that is a very important point and the f. B. I. Investigation that was brought up earlier deals also primarily with that the fact that a lot of people have been complaining that there what they what they are supposed to have is private meetings have been interrupted either internally or externally by all sorts of malicious persons who have been as you mentioned sharing porn for instance but also there have been cases where schools have gone online with zoo meetings and then either an internal person who can also just keep some sort of anonymity depending on how zoom is integrated for instance in whatever information Information Management system a school is going to use for its students someone can just come into your meeting and then do things that you would not want to see so what people can do in order to protect themselves from that is 1st of all not share photos as you were mentioning earlier also the the british executive just posted that posting a lot of images on twitter with the actual id of the zoo meeting and then of course if you have that i. D. Than that that can get to the public and then anyone can search for that for that meeting and if that meeting is not Password Protected which is an option that you have with zoom and that i would definitely encourage everyone to keep in mind that a lot of nasty things can happen catalina go answer there from master to university thank you for joining us on out of there thank you now south korea is tightening its travel restrictions asking all of those arriving to self quarantine for 14 days the country appears to have its outbreak under control but is concerned about a resurgence and as robert bride reports from seoul it so far managed to contain the numbers without drastic restrictions. Along the banks of the 100 for many people are doing what they havent done for weeks venturing outside enjoying the spring sunshine and the Cherry Blossom but with reminders everywhere to maintain social distancing of at least 2 metres apart other signs warn that as crowds build the avenues of cherry trees will have to be closed so i guess its ok for people to see the Cherry Blossom enjoy it before they close a road on the whole south korea has chosen not to enforce the kind of harsh measures adopted by neighboring china also now emerging from its own crisis just. As the International Community should consider their own situations and review both the chinese and south korean approaches and apply the measures that would be best in their own countries south koreas guiding principle in fighting the disease has been to get the voluntary support of the public rather than imposing lockdowns or completely closing borders with the outbreak seemingly under control its a strategy that appears to have worked the governments transparent handling of the outbreak has won the general trust of the people and although new cases continue to be reported theres a feeling the worst is over. In john as you know i was at inchy airport i was being tested for the virus at the walk through testing station personally i dont think we are in a serious situation at the moment sort of hollow accordion were in their own very. Looking at other parts of the world which are now in the midst of crisis were just starting to grapple with what south korea has already gone through is reason for many here to be thankful Robert Bright al jazeera so.
