Reach 1000000 confirmed cases a stark warning from the World Health Organization is the coronavirus pandemic closes in on a new global monster. A u. S. Navy captain says infections are spreading uncontrollably on his ship and that his calls for help are going on out. And russian president Vladimir Putin is working remotely after a doctor he met last week tested positive for the fires. So then the u. K. Is rapidly becoming one of the worst affected countries by coronavirus in europe there have been more than 500. 00 deaths in 24 hours for the 1st time including a 13 year old child the government is again being forced to defend its plan for testing saying it hopes to get hundreds of thousands of tests a frontline staff within weeks has been under growing pressure to expand the program especially for vulnerable and National HealthService Workers nearly 30000 people are infected with the virus. Can i just make it absolutely and the Prime Minister has been very clear about this is as well is that increasing Testing Capacity is absolutely the governments top priority were now at 10000 tests a day were rolling out Additional Networks of labs and testing sites and in terms of ph d. For the last 2 weeks 390000000 products have been distributed and of course we will continue to do more and work to make sure that ph hes available as you know there is a hotline which is available 24 hour hotline for n. H. S. Staff as well all right lets bring in sunny diego whos life for a sit in london via skype and sonia lets start with the figures and pretty stark reading of 500. 00 deaths more than 500. 00 deaths in the last 24 hours. Thats right its the 3rd day consecutive day in a row where youve had a significant number of fatalities taking place in a 24 hour period and if the trajectory looks like it is at the moment that it is set to get worse over the weekend possibly even doubling the date for a charity rate which would put the u. K. Pretty much on line with italy at this rate as well but this is also. Accompanied from the government by on urging that the public to not go outside to not cause new infections new transmissions when the coronavirus on to other people already there bracing themselves for this surge of hospitalisations as weve seen this week the opening of the new Field Hospital converted from an enormous exhibition sense that in east london with the capacity for up to 4000 patients as well just an i did it of exactly how that Health Service is anticipating this because the Hospital System they do know it would be overwhelmed the i. C. U. Units which will be desperately needed to fit in ventilators for patients in there as well are all going to be fitted in there and all the Centers Across the country are going to be also mounted in the weeks to come as well but with this isolated self isolation process social distancing the true measure of success will not be known from now but 2. 00 to 3. 00 weeks which will whether it has actually had a discernible effect on the rates of infections and the transmissions as well so theyre bracing for the worse as the Prime Minister said in his letter which he sent out so households across the country that things will definitely be getting worse before they can get better hopefully sooner rather than later and that theyre in sort of course that the World Health Organization the advice from the w. H. O. Is test test test as much as you possibly can and this is something that the u. K. Has been behind the curve on and we heard in that briefing the government minister that defending the efforts. It has been a source of contention particularly amongst the frontline Health Service workers that. If you just consider the numbers out of the find 100000 Frontline Health workers that there are in this country only 2000 of them have been tested now it is extremely urgent that these Health Workers are tested this soon as possible because they will in the fecht be the main teen battling against the coronavirus pandemic in this country as well now you have currently around a quarter of the front line Health Health care west has who are at home at the moment there is that right about cities and because theyre either ill with the symptoms of coronavirus or theyre living in a household with people who are exhibiting those symptoms as well they want to get back to work they want they want to know what their status is but at this rate its impossible because they have to abide by that rule of isolation which means that theyre out of the system they cannot get back into it until theyre fully clear and that is in itself causing a main stress as well these tests also need to have the stuffing as well to be able to have a smooth running to try and sort of streamline exactly who can go in and start treating patients as quickly as possible but when you think about it the u. K. Was was really sort of significantly behind all the European Countries when it came to these tests it was a month after it took on and testing old that was sort of procuring them about a month after germany did and theyre still lacking behind and this is something that will only be cleared up until after the worst pandemic is it so you have thanks very much for that update us when you get there in london. Well doctors in spain have been advise against admitting coronavirus patients aged over 80 into intensive care at least document published by spanish media says Health Workers in catalonia have been told to prioritize younger patients however the Regional Government says it did not issue such a directive spain has announced its worst single day death toll so far with 864 fatalities in the past 24 hours of the number of infections has now gone past 100000 mark has more from madrid in spain one in 4 of course not it was debt come from Nursing Homes from the elderly and these are percents at 26 percent of the death toll in spain madrid 0 as their region with the biggest number is nearly 50 percent and theyre saying that these speakers could even be in be higher because they have been very many many people without being tested or a c. To might be no symptoms of an iris it was last last we were talking about the spanish army green lighted by the Health Ministry being deployed nature nationwide to 2 to take over tasks such as disinfecting care homes Nursing Homes and there were the ones that raise the voice of alarm when there were finally found dead bodies in this care homes of all these elderly people dead in their beds and completely alone abandoned the staff the staff and the nurses there have run away so that this problem is that very huge problem right now and theyre asking why is this taking place or when they contagion themselves so theyre talking about relatives visiting them this doesnt occur in concert Nursing Homes not being medicalized so passionately Regional Governments being being being blamed because of the situation of these crops so theres a theres a long story behind. Well italy has reported its lowest daily death toll from corona virus in almost a week 727 people died in the past 24 hours taking the total to more than 13000 however the number of new infections did rise more sharply than the previous day to more than 110000 lets take a look at these figures with their franciscos yep attorney whos in milan and personal what do you make of these figures the number of deaths going down by the number of patients going up. Well its difficult to judge these numbers right now because every day it seems that the trend is stabilizing and its actually stabilized but still italy has today 737 people which died in the last 24 hours so even if its the lowest daily rise in almost one week the total death toll is 2 overcame 13000. 00 so its still the highest in the world the number of new cases rolls more than yesterday growing by almost 4800. 00 confirmed infection since the outbreak are now 110000. 00 so the curve of the contagion is still going up but its its going up quite slowly by the 4 percent daily. What we do what we know about these numbers is that theyre not accurate of course every day at 6 pm. Really. Goes in front of the television to see the Civil Protection agency giving these numbers but from a lot of scientists experts and also journalistic investigations its quite clear that specially here along with the. The situation is way more serious than what we know also not just for the people that have not been tested that are actually infected. At home or somewhere else and we dont even know but the problem is also with that because the Italian Statistics Institute today reported that in Northern Region that have been have more than doubled in march compared to the average of the same period in 2019 and they bear to move for example the biggest the hardest hit city in lombardi the death group group. By 4 times so less than half of these of these deaths are counted as coronavirus thats why thats because a lot of people have not been tested so to die in 10 minutes this evening the Prime Minister. Will hold a press conference and will probably say the. Restrictive measures will be extended to the 13th of april but a lot of people are now asking whats next more more than the measures is there any other plan or we just need to stay home of course we knew that this is going to last for 2 weeks more maybe 3 but after easter but well just need to wait and see what happens francisco thanks very much indeed for that update francisco as you bitterly francisca there talking a lot about numbers and were going to take that on even further now well speak to matthew via who is a Research Fellow at the Italian Institute for International Studies joins us via skype from milan a match youre welcome to the program is good to see that you be looking very closely at the figures in italy what is your sense about them and how we should read them. Well for sure if youre sort of wrong i mean the number of cases that we know emerged on the current in the country you know has been described as one of the worst hes countries not just because of the deaths but also because of the death rate it appears like 12 percent of those that are infected die which is a very almost impossible number we know by from other research that the number of people that die is about one percent of those infected and italy should be over there that number on that number we have beat alder but we should be at there on 1 point one percent debt so does something strange going on and everybodys asking easily specially in any way in terms of wise ease people dying so much and the simple answer clearly not the only one but the simplest simplest answer is that we are not testing enough people so about 9 out of 10 escape our testing so we have 10110000 people that have been declared as positive active cases but actually my estimates are that there are about 2000000 people around in italy being active an infected so d. C. Is clearly good news because the death rate goes down but its also bad news because we dont know about you know a lot of people that are around might be infected might infect others and they have not been tested so data right today in fact ok so is that were not saying is sort of jump in there but much is that what youre saying is its not so much the number of fatalities which we do know. It is more the death rate than the percentage of those who are dying from coronavirus. This is one of the problems we estimated need from deaths that we know and the cases that we know we probably are looking at just a very tiny fraction of the actual cases that are active any fact in the country so we are every lost sight of these and then there is the 2nd problem that professor was talking about about the fact that some deaths have not been counted probably is not going to be a large problem nationally but locally in the most affected communities its going to be very bet and finally there is a 3rd problem as i see use gets you know overwhelmed by cases so intensive care cannot be accessed by others there is going to be indirect deaths not people who work positive infected and then die but people who for instance get a stroke and cannot reach the hospital in time and this is taking a heavy toll in the country right ok just one of the times its one of those you one more question if lees been on lockdown for nearly a month now do you think that the numbers that were seeing were still it days but the numbers show that the policy of lockdown is working yes quite slowly but its working so not as fast as in china or other countries that made it fast and stricter not on measures but its working any you know its a plot to and its true not as fast as we as we should but. Lets hope that in the next few weeks well see this little good ol what all this is is new to everybody is net net you know and its very good to get your perspective we do appreciate that thanks very much indeed matthew a Research Fellow at the Italian Institute for International Political studies thanks well thank you for the World Health Organization is one of a rapid escalation of the current virus saying there will be a 1000000 confirmed cases before long. Lets go to our diplomatic editor james base has been listening in on the latest briefing just a few minutes ago and joins us from the United Nations and james talking about the numbers really rapidly rising in the very worrying trend thats developed the World Health Organization has been doing this briefing 3 times a week for some months now and every single time it is grim news because the figures go up theyre predicting some fresh very sad milestones to come in the future next few days. Over the past 5 weeks we have witnessed a near exponential grows in the number of new cases reaching almost every country territory an area the number of days has more than doubled in the past week in the next few days we will reach 1000000. 00 comfort and cases and 50000. 00. The w. H. O. Director general said he was concerned that some of the measures put in place which are going to have the right effect he said could in some places have unexpected consequences some of the restrictions on people which would mean poor people might not be able to get food some of the more Vulnerable People would have problems potentially with Mental Health and he urged governments to try and help some of those who might be suffering he pointed to the example of india where Prime Minister modi has put in measures to financially help those that are going to suffer its worth telling you that while the World Health Organization has been giving its briefing in geneva the wider un of which the World Health Organization is a part has been giving briefings here in new york the u. N. Security Council President for the next month the month thats just started is Dominican Republic they will be looking at all the conflicts around the world but clearly the effect on those conflicts of coded 19 and remember one week ago the u. N. Secretary general announced a 2000000000. 00 fund to try and help the humanitarian response particularly for conflict zones and those areas where there are refugees and the displaced will the u. N. Revealing now that theyve got pledges of 374000000. 00 towards that 2000000000. 00 that they need james thanks very much james bays there at the United Nations. The u. S. President is warning americans to prepare for what hes calling the holidays that lie ahead more than 4000 people in the United States have died from Coronavirus Health experts say it could kill almost a quarter of a 1000000 people emergency supplies are being sent to new york state where more than 1700 have died temporary hospital facilities have been set up to try to ease the burden on the local Health Care System and choose day saw the highest Daily National death toll with 865 fatalities and new york state Governor Andrew Cuomo says police will be getting more aggressive in enforcing social distancing and also that playgrounds in new york city will not be closed ive talked about this for weeks i warned people that if they didnt stop the density in the games in the playgrounds you cant play basketball you cant come in contact with each other that we would close the playgrounds ive spoken to speaker johnson from new york city who feels very strongly about this and did from day one we agreed initially with the mayor that we would try compliance in the mayor was going to try to use the n. Y. P. D. To enforce compliance social distancing in playgrounds it is still a problem at least 100. 00 sailors on board a u. S. Aircraft carrier have tested positive for covert 19 the captain of the Theodore Roosevelt told the pentagon that the virus is spreading uncontrollably Victoria Gate and the houses from. The captain of the u. S. S. Theodore roosevelt reported the 1st case of corona virus last week the Nuclear PoweredAircraft Carrier has since doctors reporting guam a u. S. Territory in the western pacific the pentagon says most of the 5000 sailors must stay on the ship its captain says it does not have enough quarantine and isolation facilities in a letter to Navy Commanders captain brett crazier wrote we are not at war sailors do not need to die if we do not act now we are failing to properly take care of our most trusted asset assailants the u. S. Navy says its testing everybody on board and the situation is under control the sailors who have been flown off the ship are currently doing fine and none of them have been required to be hospitalized because their symptoms are very mild to them their x. And pains in those types of things sore throats but nothing that required hospitalization so they are in quarantine now on guam u. S. Defense secretary mark esp a says now is not the time to evacuate the ship i dont think were at that point nor are we are moving a lot of supplies and assistance medical assistance out to the carrier in guam were providing additional medical medical personnel as they need it and im pleased to report that none of them are seriously ill. The u. S. Navy says it will take sailors off the Aircraft Carrier on a rotating basis its a plan that seems to fall short of the Decisive Action called for by the ships captain Victoria Gates and be out there. Lets join shepparton z. In washington d. C. And ship what whats the latest situation with this. There were a lot of but now actually it does seem actually some of the sailors themselves who can speak to the sound of this or San Francisco chronicle said that this never has works and in fact its captain really has been its career on the line by getting out of the chain of command it would appear but there there is no plan in action apparently to move as many the same as possible from the rose bowl in the next few days those who have not tested positive for critter virus will be moved into many empty hotel rooms those who do test positive we now understand have another press briefing will be moved to the naval base on one where they will be kept in isolation the sailors who are not positive will be kept for 14 days at a core group of soldiers will remain under assault to ensure that everythings not working its a nucleus of great uproar and they will then be rotated out with the same as who completed the 40 day quarantine in 14 days depending on you know when when these actually work transfer has actually occurred some other movement has happened just in the last few hours despite the appeared to be rather plus a attitude from the defense secretary just on tuesday night yes sunny not something that the Administration Needs right now this kind of spotting is developing into something of a good bit of focus for the media has none. Yeah i mean i think that there are other focuses to know which are conservative certainly Never Looks Good especially to us to be sacrificing troops unless a centrally asked as the captain said were not at war this particular Aircraft Carrier simply just a close show of force Aircraft Carrier against china or you know and pacific and so on that would never act of conflict and i think so so why not they does raise these issues off the operability with the navy at a time of pandemic how effective coulomb may be when you have senators in cramps who is either on that route carriers like this or submarines and so on all those who knew what atlas just an hour ago or so he said yeah but its true that this does suggest the operability of all movies and probable cause and also means your ability the russian navy going to chinese that me is also in danger so really and we just all of you take another look at all of this right there is the equivalent of a small town on board the roosevelt isnt there and it just goes to show how frustrating and upset the captain must have been to to stake his career in this way right now and this man has said look you know i mean i was in the navy if you will if youre a captain of an Aircraft Carrier youre all a career path to become admiral and now that hes now that hes broken the chain of command now that he still has its crew members ahead of his career well to walk us through i wonder whether you might be a footnote later on in this whole and this whole episode earl will be followed closely how things develop she have the time being thanks very much.

Well early testing is sought to be one of the main reasons why germanys fatality rate remains low around one percent of confirmed cases in the country have resulted in deaths compare that to italy where the rate is more than 11 percent experts say german scientists started to develop a test for the virus late last year as soon as it took hold in china they attribute the fast and widespread testing as well as more intensive care unit beds to its success a city in germany is also leading the way and make it compulsory for people to wear masks in public plenty of countries are following suit but theres a debate about how effective it is sort of how it was. In this video we would like to tell you what we did differently in a manner. Like to help you to do the same cheesing to wear a mask or not is no longer an option for those living in the Czech Republic because every citizen now has to wear surgical masks by law during the pandemic and across the country people have mobilized to make and distribute homemade moss for the entire population numbers of European Countries are also introducing similar measures on wednesday austria banned people from entering supermarkets without wearing a mask.

Insect of the asias actually asymptomatic so they even dont know get infected and actually use that to transmit it even if all youre well sometimes so i think universal masking is that. With a number of confirmed cases rising in many parts of the world the need for medical protective gear is greater than ever but for now some Frontline Health workers have been forced to recycle the masts and gowns theyve already used so high at al jazeera. Russias president Vladimir Putin is now working remotely after the doctor who showed him around moscows main coronavirus hospital tested positive for hiv at 19 that is processing cohost of the terror week the kremlin Spokesman Says that putin is regularly being tested for the virus as no reason to be concerned about his Health Russia confirmed nearly 500. 00 new cases of virus wednesday bringing the total number of infections to nearly 3000. 00 i spoke to marry a woman whos a senior says continued best if she says people in russia are more worried about their immediate future. Of course the fact was reported that the head doctor or hospital that put in this it did now has the virus and the doctor himself wrote in his facebook that he feels well but he isolated himself in his office we have a form from which is press meant that the president is fine in good health and i dont think people are focused on this piece of news people have so many things to worry about at this point not so much about the fear of getting infected but the economic consequences of the virus in the economy being in freefall right now in russia the price of oil having dropped to our an all time low the ruble devalued against the dollar in euro people are worried about their immediate future they are their jobs in their salaries not about the president s health i think they ought to take the pressmans word for it that would to me is fine yeah hes been taking his meetings virtually Via Video Conference this look done was introduced in rush hour on monday so i guess its too early to say what the reaction to the package of bills is be but its certainly as you say its going to have an Immediate Impact on the economy it is already having an impact on the economy and of course elsewhere it has an effect on Small Businesses to begin with and of of course big business as well.

Is is about the economic consequences right and what about the number of cases where as i said earlier we have 500 new cases of the virus nearly 500 on wednesday which brings the total number of infections to nearly 3000 in those official numbers a smaller than those in European Countries what do you make of those figures and whether or not theyre valid. Well of course distrust common in russia are people going across the official information however at this point in climb there is no sense that the government is concealing the truth and the actual state of or there is much worse people are using social networks theyre extremely popular in russia are young people seeing a cold there have plenty of time to post whatever they want to post if there were indeed many more cases and especially many more deaths right now the number of deaths is on the 30.
