People of iran given the scene will continue to stand with the people of iran given the fact theyre so hard hit with chronic fire theyre very hard hit so theyre here in a lot of ways they are there. With their economy with their military and with obviously the virus they very hard it would you consider easing sanctions to allow medical supplies to get. Distributed but we know that sanctions hit the people not the government will have anything as to if they want to read word love to me and would love to settle the whole thing out but i doubt theyll be its a realistically how does a person in tehran pick on a colleague i think they love america i think the iranians love america i think theyd love to be free i think theyd love to have just some of the things that we have you know i remember many years ago friends of mine were always in around and they were doing real estate deals and. Well lets take you now to a live briefing the u. N. Secretary general and when you get terror as is holding this briefing on his call for a global cease fire to fight the pandemic lets take a listen to this call was rooted in a fundamental recognition there should be only one fight in our world today our share of the battle against 19 we know the pandemic is having profound social economic and political consequences including relating to International Peace and security we see it for example in postponement of elections or limitations on the ability to vote sustained restrictions on movement spiraling employment and other factors that could contribute to rising discontent and political tensions in addition terrorist extremist groups may take profit from the a certainty created by the spread of the pandemic nonetheless the global ceasefire in appeal is resonating across the world the call has been indorsed by an ever growing number of Member States 70 so far regional partners nonstate actors Civil Society networks and organizations and all un messengers of peace and advocates for the Sustainable Development goals religious leaders including pope francis air their moral voice in support of a global ceasefire as if citizens who Grassroots Organization online just to mention an example and it be launched by of us has already gathered support from more than 1000000 people to all i express my deep gratitude to very i am releasing an update on the impact of the global ceasefire to peel a substantial number of parties to conflict express their acceptance for the call. Heres the update details these include parties to conflict in the following countries government on the Central African republic colombia libya myanmar the philippines south sudan sudan syria ukraine and yemen but there is a huge distance between declarations and deeds between turns late 100 words into peace on the ground and in the lives of people there are enormous difficulties to implementation as conflicts f. S. S. For years distrust these deep with many spoilers and many suspicions we know that any additional gains that fred child and easily reversible and in many of the most Critical Situations we have seen no letup in fighting and some conflicts ever even intensified we need robust diplomatic efforts to meet these challenges to silence the guns we must raise the voices for peace you know the situations my special representatives and special envoys and in some countries the un present coordinators with full support from at quarter end whenever required my personal involvement and engaging with conflict ectors to help move toward cease fires on the ground as a prerequisite to lasting peace a lot me to give 4 examples of these intense diplomatic push. Him yemen despite expressed support for the ceasefire by the government and saddle our and many other parties including the joint forces command the conflict spike my special envoy is working on preparations to convene the parties to discuss 19 Crisis Management and their National Wide ceasefire mechanism i call on all governments and movements involved and their supporters to put an end to this catastrophic conflict and humanitarian nightmare and come to the negotiating table. In syria where the 1st related deaths have now been reported my special envoy appealed for a complete and immediate mesh and white cease fire in the country to allow for an all out effort against 19 the it leaves cease fire previously negotiated by turkey and the Russian Federation is holding but it is essential that the permanent National Wide cease fire take effect to allow for expansions in humanitarian access to all those suffering for the last decades in libya the government of National Accords and the marshall afters Libyan National army welcomed calls to stop the fighting yet clashes escalated the arrest equally or not frontlines of starting efforts to effectively respond to coffee at 19 i urge both parties and all others that are clearly in directly involved in this conflict between immediately hold still ities to a lower thought it is to effectively addressed the coffee 1000 sets ensure and mean that access to humanitarian aid and realize the cease fire they have been discussing and that the auspices of the United Nations finally in afghanistan while fighting increased on the 26th of march it was announced that the 21 member team which includes 5 women was formed for the tick negotiations with the taliban the government and the taliban have also established technical contacts for the initial initial prisoner release i believe the time has come for the government of the taliban to seize hostilities with 19 looms over the country i pledge my full support you know these enormously difficult circumstances as it in other words i make a special appeal to all countries with influence on parties waging war to do Everything Possible for the ceasefire to become reality. I call on all those that can make a difference to make that difference to urgent pressure combatants around the world to put down their arms there is a chance for peace but we are far from there and the need is urgent the cover of 1000 storm is now coming to all the sea it has of conflict the virus has shown our swiftly it can move across borders devastated countries and up and lives the worst is yet to come and so we need to do Everything Possible to find the peace and unity our world so that split the needs to battle covered 19 we must mobilize every ounce of energy to defeat it thank you. Thank you sir the 1st question comes from if to carly of the Associated Press of pakistan asking what is your reaction to yesterdays General Assembly resolution and how do you pair plan to implement its mandate or i think its a very important step to getting all countries of the world in a very strong commitment against the 19 and its consequences namely its economic and social consequences and of course the secretariat and myself will do Everything Possible to implement the resolution and to make sure they are to the un remains a key factor in the fight against poverty 1000 phillipe the tale of if he asks when you planned to brief the Security Council on covert 19 ive just received any veto action from the pairs of the Security Council at the request of a number of Member States to brief the council which i do. Believe next week. A number of journalists are asking about libya noting that one year ago you were in libya pushing for peace and in that same time general have to our last this offensive what do you think of this one year of wasted time and also while the fighting escalates in libya there are 2 sides one is attacking and one is attacked one is legitimate one is illegitimate when is the un has the courage to name the aggressors and in using vague language my objective now is to stop the war is not to make a judgment is to stop the war obviously it is clear when i arrived in libya that there was an attack by. Martial after us forces and that was the beginning of the conflict that we have witnesses then but to my objective now is to make sure that the ceasefire it was a technical aspects what it breeds by the presenter thieves of both sides but not signed that thats. Hes fired it iis implemented we must stop these what these war as and devastating economic and social consequences for the country as makes people suffer in a terrible way and this war is now. Not allowing the response to cover the 19 to take place in libya what could have catastrophic consequences to these is the moment to stop the war and my appeal not only to both sides but to all those that died it clee or in directly are involved in the libya conflict that large extent became a conflict by proxy to all of them to understand these is the moment to stop its not morally acceptable to continue with this conflict measured from rude our network asks are there any urgent arrangements by the un to help mitigate the situations in iraq and syria as they are case the cases of covert are rising rapidly our country themes in both countries will be working hard in order to make sure that they support the mechanisms in place of course in syria there is a particular concern to areas like libya or some parts of the eastern area of the territory but we will be doing Everything Possible together with our partners the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement and the. Nongovernmental organizations to provide as much as we can the conditions to prevent disease to enter especially in the most vulnerable areas and to fight it even if we know that in some circumstances conditions on the ground with make it extremely difficult and we are of course very very concerned with the impact especially in those areas where we have a bigger concentration of people displays the refugees and others living in extremely precarious situation. I knew so well youve been listening to u. N. Secretary general antonio good terrorist reiterate his call for a global ceasefire to fight against coronavirus he does seem to think that its been relatively successful so far in terms of commitments that have been made by warring groups but that that hasnt necessarily been reflected on the ground in terms of actions he does say that the west of the pandemic is yet to come and all resources must be mobilized to fight that battle well lets now bring in our diplomatic editor james bays who is at the United Nations for us james weve seen fighting continue in syria yemen libya just to name a few conflicts and then we saw north korea also carry out missile tests so just how much of a difference has this plea actually made. Well i think the u. N. Is deeply worried because it knows that so far the countries that have had to deal with covert 1000 with large numbers of cases happened to be the ones probably where people are richer and travel more so theyve been hit 1st and they have the sophisticated medical systems the ones that so far have not had so many cases are in the developing world and theyre in conflict zones now there could be an absolute disaster if this was to rip through the very poor resourced medical systems in some of these war torn countries thats why the u. N. Is so worried thats why theyre again pushing this appeal for a cease fire so the they can get the necessary resources into the country and in a better shape to deal with the virus but there is a plus side i think the u. N. Sees to the Current Situation that by making this call perhaps they can reduce the violence in some of these conflict zones so they could be a bonus effect of this and they are seeing i think some early success as 10 days since the secretary general made his call other people have joined his call most notably the pope weve also had as which is a Campaigning Organization around the world a 1000000 people have joined a petition calling for a global ceasefire and certainly weve seen some of the parties to some of these conflicts saying that theyll abide by a cease fire now it hasnt translated to a stopping of the guns or silencing of the guns around the world but certainly they believe that its having the right effect and that things have turned in the right direction look for example in in syria where weve seen that heavy bombardment for months and months and months of the people theyre targeting medical clinics among other places well theyre the deal done between the russians and the turks seems to be holding and the u. N. Is hoping that one because this is so serious with the virus potentially. Hitting these areas too because they see a window of opportunity theyre coming back 10 days after the 1st made his appeal to try and push the appeal again they see a moment of opportunity at this very difficult time for the planet james could terrorism just in the last couple of days has also called this pandemic the most challenging crisis since the u. N. Was even founded but in order for this ceasefire this global cease fire to take place presumably he also needs the support of the Security Council and all the Security Council members and weve heard very little from them so far. The Security Council i think its fair to say in the opening days of this was completely paralyzed and paralyzed and its its sad really to detail why because they didnt have the procedures to meet electronically they didnt have anything in place to be able to conduct their business without actually sitting around that horseshoe table thats in this building just a floor below where i am right now they have slowly put those procedures in place but it was difficult and thats because certain members didnt really want to have Virtual Meetings didnt want to have virtual voting russia im told by some diplomats in one of the early discussions about Virtual Meetings said well its more dangerous in new york supermarket than it is in the Security Council chamber so we should continue to have our meetings in person they have now find found a way to have meetings sadly theyre not going to be Public Meetings theyve had to go or get rid of some of the normal things the Security Council do for example for the 1st time i can tell you the Security Council meets entirely in english because theyre having these Virtual Meetings theres no translation capabilities they are getting back to a normal program of work and were actually going to see for the 1st time part of one of those Virtual Meetings on choose day when they meet to discuss the situation in mali the 1st part of that meeting the briefers from the u. N. Will be fed to us live so the Security Council restarting its more regular work and i think that getting Public Access to that work in in the coming days and clearly what we just heard from the secretary general is that very soon hell be briefing the Security Council on code 19 clearly this is a virus that doesnt respect borders and the secretary general has a role trying to get people to Work Together but of course this is been so desperate including in some of the countries are the richest and most. Sophisticated including here at the seat of the u. N. In new york many countries have been fending for themselves and well obviously be bringing you all those latest developments as well from the Security Council as they happen and james i do want to ask you because the terrorists just then was also asked about libya and he urged warring sides in libya all foreign sides including all of those involved in what he identified is now very much a proxy conflict to stop fighting how likely is that. Yeah i mean that what happens with these Virtual Press conferences is that we sit here i type on my computer which is just just beneath the camera here questions that then go to the u. N. Spokesman stefan then relays them to the secretary general on our behalf and i ask the secretary general about the situation in libya because it is a very interesting timing one year ago today the secretary general was on a visit to libya that was the visit the u. N. Hoped was going to push things towards peace they were going to have a peace conference in dharmas in libya in the oasis town of good dharmas get all the sides together get the International Community behind them and bring libya to peace of course as the secretary general was there trying to persuade the last holdout to this whole plan to sign up to it which is general haftar general have to said no and started his offensive on tripoli it has been a year of wasted opportunity the sec regional making it quite clear that all sides now need to get behind peace in libya because peace is needed in libya and to because of the threat the looming threat of the virus coming to libya and james bay is that devon matic editor for us at the United Nations thank you very much. Well moving on now and the United Kingdom has recorded almost 700 deaths just in the past 24 hours thats up nearly 25 percent it comes as the British Government says itll now test 100000 people a day by the end of the month and a new 4000 bed imagines he hospital has also just been opened in london whats normally a Convention Center was converted there in just 9 days well lets now go live to join the whole issue is in london for us jonah we heard the Health Secretary warning that the peak of this might be coming sooner than expected what do these new numbers now tell us about the trajectory of this in the u. K. But will they tell us what we do yesterday and the day before and even the day before that which is that the numbers here are rising exponentially this is the 3rd i think all 4 stay that weve seen rises in the death toll of the roundabout as you say 25 percent this year the latest is 23 percent up on the day before. With the overall death toll doubling every 3 days so no sign of the moment of the socalled flattening of the curve that has now happened in other countries like france like italy to an extent in spain as well. With 13 days in this country into very restrictive lockdown measures most people are staying at home youd expect those measures to have an effect on the numbers within about 3 weeks were told so i think by the end of next week a week from now lets say if the curve hasnt started flattening theyll be real real cause for worry that with the expectation regardless that the death toll will continue to climb for a while a good several weeks yet jonah i know youre standing in front of what is now a temporary morgue i know were all hoping that they were in or have to be used that presumably there are others also being set up around the country. Yes im in North West London to london really hillingdon behind me is a kraemer tour room and you can just see poking out behind that green fence over there 2 white refrigerated structures that are as you say a temporary morgue that have been set up at this crevasse or its one of several sites identified across london as a sort of local london resilience plan in conjunction with local authorities faith groups and businesses in anticipation of rising numbers when they come london accounts for about a 3rd now of the overall u. K. Figures other cities of course and parts of the country also badly hit up in the West Midlands Birmingham Airport is currently host to an even la much larger more being set up by the government there to accommodate up to 12000 bodies if that peak demands that sort of thing of course everybody will hope that it doesnt but new research coming out today from scientists and researchers at Imperial College london suggests that the u. K. Epidemic may indeed be bigger than anybody is accounting for at present theyre looking at the gap in testing a huge gap that the government is now trying to close theyre looking at the large numbers of people who present with very mild symptoms who may not have presented in fact at all of any hospital and theyre looking at the numbers they expect of a symptomatic carriers of the virus and they suggest that the numbers here in london alone could be up to 60 times higher than currently advertised 10000 at the moment possibly as much as 600000 londoners could have had or have the coronavirus extrapolate that across the country and you get a much Bigger Picture of what the peak may look like when it comes than the numbers would currently suggest there for us and lungs and whether trying to prepare for the last thank you general. Well in germany and america has ended has self quarantine after testing negative for the crane a virus that even from isolation shes been held up as an example of how wild made us should manage this Pandemic Health Officials Say widespread testing that help to keep the death toll relativity in. The mccain explains just how jamey has managed to keep the death toll as low as it has the key here is combining widescale targeted testing with an ample provision of intensive care unit bed space to treat to the people who test positive and develop a severe reaction and go into a Critical Condition as it was when the outbreak salsas germany the estimates were that germany had around 28000 intensive care unit beds available since the outbreak began and really took hold across Europe Germany has been able to expand or commence those i. C. U. Spaces so there are now 40 ferries and thats a 43 percent increase in bed spaces specifically in intensive care beds spaces and theyve also been able to increase the number of bed spaces for those who dont have around the virus which means therefore that the hospitals are able to isolate the patients in most most urgent need so those people dont and as it were exposed of those to the risk of contracting the virus which is what happened in hospitals in the countries that you mentioned earlier and thats one of the germans believe that theyve been able as it were to keep not necessary to keep an id on the problem because clearly that is not the case when infections are spreading and more people are dying but theyve been able to keep the mortality rate very low. Now the mayor of turkeys largest city istanbul is in the government to impose a full lock down there and says time is running out to halt the spread of the virus but president recipe i bet on is resisting demands for a shutdown instead he wants businesses to remain open to protect the troubled economy now istanbul has 60 percent of turkeys confirmed cases and the nationwide death toll is now reported to be 356 while the shutdown of football across much of the wilds has left the 50000000000. 00 online betting industry with a huge gap to fill its led to a focus on any matches that gamblers can find but that has also meant on ones attention and even Death Threats for a lower league team in sweden paul reese reports from. Fortunes are not usually won and lost by betting on m a teams in sweden but with so many professional leagues shut down around the world me at practice matches in the region of scorn or have attracted the insatiable appetite severely Online Gambling industry no liverpool to bet on judy is all real madrid instead focused on scarborough where now this is a 5th Division Team they usually have about 70 people watching their games but theres such a lack of football globally at the moment theyve been getting worldwide attention people betting on their practice much as which would have been nice up to a point but the point came when the team lost their training match and gamble is around the world lost money you can really believe it and we. Will. I mean most people dont even know its down here its gone but there are basically people the right thing to a club after are training games. Threatening our players are there were Death Threats it all began in friendly enough fashion. I have got the message on facebook from random people the best example is from a guy from hungary and he asked me about 5 hours before the game hello im a fan from hungary and what is the expected result for todays match from the beginning i didnt knew they could bet on this game we were basically the only team the only game that you could bet on. The last time we played so obviously a lot of people are going to bed and then if they if they lose money. Thats loss of money soon revealed a dark side of Online Gambling so youve got one of the messages there. Which says at it again you feel the corrupt rats its a disgrace you are all up to play football just so you can play them please fix matches lets hope you all get corona you dirty rats. I feel sorry for this person no one will be losing any more money on scarborough what with even practice games now cancelled in the swedish lower divisions but if sporting action pops up elsewhere whatever the level it will attract attention and maybe hate with online gamblers unlikely to simply hang up their phones while they wait for the sporting world to get back to normal. Poll race aljazeera spade allah sweet or.

The the i. I for me ok enjoy the Stream Research shows that exposure to reading material early in a childs life has both an immediate and long term effect on the capillary general knowledge and comprehension skills. Studies have also shown that nonwhite children who see their own identities and experiences reflected have higher selfesteem better social emotional functioning and increased classroom engagement so then why is it that there is such a childrens books that include diverse characters with diverse attributes this in for golf summarizes where things are in the us the numbers are improving but hardly where they should be today. Were changing that
