Improving but another environmental problem is piling up that is medical waste. And sport further talks are taking place to discuss English Premier League footballers taking a pay cut a deal is being negotiated that will see players salaries reduced by 30 percent. So the u. K. Government is holding its Daily Briefing on the current virus lets take you live now to downing street in central london. With covered 19 symptoms but the action of hospital admissions in england and wales has regional differences in the number of admissions folks like between the 1st and 2nd of april admissions a study in wales but in yorkshire and the northeast by 30 percent. And in the middle and the rate of hospital admissions has gone up by 47 percent 708 people have sadly lost their lives as a result of cover 19 the highest daily total yet recorded and that means that of those hospitalized in the u. K. The number who passed away now totals 4330 those numbers emphasize again the importance of maintaining social distancing measures to halt the spread of the disease more than ever we must stick with it as the Prime Minister said in his video message now i know that life under lockdown can be challenging on some will be tempted on this sunny weekend to venture out and about but as the Health Secretary underlined yesterday if we relax are a humans to the rules we increase the risk for others thats why its so important to stay at home to protect the n. H. S. And to save lives we need to think of those on frontline and the sacrifices that theyre making for us as the chief nursing officer for england reminded us yesterday ruth may asked us to remember to n. H. S. Nurses who died after contracting covered 1000 or even a serene he was just 36 and in iraq aged 39 each have 3 Young Children they died while doing everything they could to help the sick and the suffering we can all best all of them i thank our part in fighting the disease by staying at home and slowing the spread 7 Healthcare Professionals have now lost their lives to cover 19 and we offer a heartfelt condolences to the grieving families and to the many others mourning the loss of loved ones they include the family of is while Mohamad Abdul one hob who died aged just 13 in Kings College hospital in london his mother and siblings are showing symptoms of the virus and they were unable to say their final goodbyes at his funeral. In their despair the loving dignified tributes from is miles parents truly haunting our thoughts today are also with the family of the 5 year old child with Underlying Health conditions whose tragically died so again you must stay at home to protect the n. H. S. And to save lives whatever the temptations this weekend please dont go outside to visit the lakes the beaches the countryside take pride instead in keeping your own families and communities safe. The more we restrict contact the more we slow the spread of the infection the more time we have to build capacity in the n. H. S. So that we can treat those who are most in need i want now to outline how were increasing n. H. S. Capacity yesterday we were grateful to his Royal Highness the prince of wales himself recently recovered from grown a virus for opening the brand new Nightingale Hospital in east london a testament to brilliant teamwork and determined leadership from the n. H. S. To weeks of hard work of transformed a conventional into a fully functioning Field Hospital that can treat 500 covered 1000 patients on ventilators or through oxygenation new Nightingale Hospitals are due to be built in Birmingham Bristol Cardiff Belfast glasgow how to get a magister and given that we know that the midlands are a particular area of concern the n. H. S. And the military are accelerating their existing work to transform a National Exhibition center in birmingham into a 2000 bed Nightingale Hospital ive spoken to the mayor of the West Midlands and the street earlier today and hes doing all he can with the n. H. S. To accelerate that work of course a critical part of ensuring the n. H. S. Is resilient is improving the testing of staff 10984. 00 tests were administered yesterday under the Health Secretary outlined on thursday we have a strategy to increase that number to 100000 a day. Testing is a critical part of the clinical poverty that we all follow in seeking to reduce the impact of covered 19 but the next vital step is appropriate pharmaceutical treatment that is why is the Health Secretary explained Clinical Trials are now taking place to see if antivirals which have helped in the fight against hiv and antimalarial medicine such as 100 hydroxy chloroquine can reliably reduce the harm that the corona virus inflicts the next stage in the clinical pathway is ensuring that those patients with impaired lung functions get the oxygen they need and this is where ventilation comes in weve been working to increase Ventilator Capacity across the n. H. S. Ventilation can be noninvasive and invasive effective noninvasive ventilation can ensure patients do not need to be placed on invasive ventilators where theyre injured bit and supported to breathe with machinery which takes oxygen direct into their lungs with acute new noninvasive capacity with the help of u. K. Manufacturers who work to pace to develop new technologies a team from University College london working with Mercedes Benz produced a new device which has been clinically approved they produced 250 yesterday we produce the same number today and tomorrow rising to 1000 a day next week were also increasing the capacity of the n. H. S. To deploy invasive ventilation weve been buying invasive ventilators from partners abroad including germany and switzerland and today 300 new ventilators arrived from china id like to thank the Chinese Government for their support in securing that capacity and we developed new sources of supply here in the u. K. With existing and modified models being made in greater numbers and new models designed to come on stream soon the 1st bottles which are being scaled up as part of the ventilator challenge will be coming off production lines this weekend. More to come into operation in the coming weeks subject to safety and Regulatory Approvals as part of the province of call to manufacturers to scale up production increasing its production has involved securing supplies of critical components from libya and batteries to flow regulators from across the globe to assemble here the 1st of the ventilators that the government has ordered from panel on a medical Devices Company based in oxfordshire will begin arriving in hospitals this week for final clinical checks grateful to the m o d personnel who will be delivering them as we are all the companies who devoted time staff and resources to fighting government in the 1st devices from smiths group have also been received at mo d. Donington a military Logistics Hub interim these have been approved by the regulator the initial dispatch is the result of scaled up manufacturing of an existing mechanical ventilator design and were grateful for the efforts of an Industry Consortium including g g k n aerospace and rolls royce these ventilators will be distributed to hospitals this week and next week u. K. Production of another ventilator device from the companys dime medica and plexus will start at their factory in kelso in scotland the design is based on an existing product already in use in the n. H. S. More ventilators invasive and noninvasive available to the n. H. S. The more patients can get the care they need when they need it but the process of design Testing Assembly and manufacture does take time we need to make sure that these devices are safe and their manufacture scalable the challenges in increasing numbers of the middle which is why the commitment of the scientists engineers designers and Civil Servants involved in this work is so impressive. But you do need to be assigned a storage unit to help them or you need to do is to observe the social distancing guidelines that have been put in place the more we all stay at home and slow the spread of the disease the more time we buy for more ventilators to come on stream and for the n. H. S. To become more resilient finally i want to turn to the way in which all parts of our country a coming together to fight this invisible enemy teachers have kept schools open for those who need them and parents have kept their children at home wherever possible so we enter the Easter Holiday weeks with School Attendance having been around just 2 percent ensuring that the most vulnerable can be cared for for children at which a bill for Free School Meals vouchers will be available over the holidays to support press holdings but im conscious that more must be done particularly over the holiday period to support children at risk and the need o. B. Sing more next week about work in this area i also recognize that were asking a lot of the british people and we in government therefore have a responsibility to communicate as clearly as possible clear factual timely information and an honest assessment of the difficulties that we all face as well as proper recognition of the achievements of those on the front line who are doing so much to fight this disease adapting to this pandemic has meant developing guidance implementing new policies and coordinating efforts across government at an unprecedented pace and evidently there has therefore been criticism of some government actions i recognise that that criticism has been designed to challenge governments performance and to improve our response which is why i welcome it even as we unite in our efforts to defeat the virus we must also recognise that robust scrutiny is to be welcome is the duty of the media. Which is why were acting to both share robust information and support our media by investing more in our government Information Campaign which is being disseminated through the National Media and local newspapers and radio well share essential Health Advice and information on the support packages which are available from the chancellor for workers and businesses will share details of how you can help volunteer to support our n. H. S. Or help the vulnerable and also how you can help a Great British farmers by buying more locally grown products will also list other ways in which you can join the National Effort against the coronavirus were also using social media in particular to reach young people some of whom have been more reluctant than others to follow social distancing rules and in this united National Effort where we need both constructive challenge and a shared spirit of National Endeavor we want to make sure that we all work collaboratively to help defeat the virus thats what weve been coordinating daily with our colleagues in the devolved administrations when i spoke yesterday to my friends in the trade Union Movement Francis Ogrady and Len Mccluskey and what the Prime Ministers written today to the leaders of all opposition parties including the new leader of the labor party secure stahmann id like to congratulate sick on his victory and wish him well in his Important Role id also like to emphasise once more that all of us can do our bit this weekend in that united National Effort by staying at home protecting the n. H. S. And saving lives and now ill hand over to ski. Thank you very much well as you all now know the key to getting on top to beating this virus is to reduce contact with each other to stay at home and to stop the spread of the virus and as the 1st chart this afternoon shows that we are continuing to see people adhering to those instructions transport use in particular public transport use remains extremely low and its absolutely critical as you just heard that everybody follows those instructions so the sun might be out but that doesnt mean you should be art we all need to make sure that we resist the temptation whatever the weather to disregard the instructions that are so clear we need to stop social contact reduce social contact stop transmission and reduce spread of the virus and by doing that we will start to protect the n. H. S. And to save lives and as the next chart shows. The new cases in the u. K. Of continue to rise but in the last few days they have stabilized now its really important as ive said before not to read too much into a day or a few days dates or but if we do reduce social contact we know from the Scientific Evidence we know from the experience of other countries that we will see a reduction in infection rates. Ok youve been listening to steven palace right there hes the n. H. S. The England National medical director for n. H. S. And of course this briefing was started off with michael go the Cabinet Office minister. Many many leads many takeaways from this but one being and that is that the horrible number 4113 people have lost their lives to corona virus in the u. K. That is a 20 percent increase and just one day a mayor in a mafia standing by in london has also been listening to this briefing which we have been following every day merriam water and what are some of the top lines that youre true that you heard there. Right so we were hearing there about a number of cases in other parts of the country because weve been speaking about london be larry much the epicenter of the virus here in the u. K. But its so interesting to hear Cabinet Office minister michael gove saying that were also seeing an increasing number of cases in other parts of the country so well see got more cases popping up in the West Midlands and also in the northeast of the country so far and it has been slightly ahead of the rest of the country which you perhaps would expect because of the density of the city but it looks as though other parts of the country are perhaps now catching up to the capital also very interesting that michael spoke there about some of the recent deaths from coronavirus that really an attempt to try and humanize the death toll figures that weve been getting so he spoke about the case of the 36 year old man the mother of 3. 13 year old boy who died from the virus as well his siblings have now contracted over 1000 and then also the case that weve had just today a very sad case of the 5 year old child who has died of the myras making that would be the youngest victim of the virus here in the u. K. So michael gove deliberately mentioning that the cases of some of the youngest victims of the virus to persuade people that everyone is vulnerable to this so while the government may have been a little late to really get to this this mantra of socialist and saying they are very much clearer that this is what they still want to happen Larry Michael gove expressed some frustration that some people arent doing that and particularly how concerning might this be considering the weather is nice now. Yes so this is a real fear for the government right now and the weather has been improving but typically this weekend you have warm sunny weather typically people would venture outside they would take day trips with their families they would perhaps drive to the coast they want to see more friends and family but the government is saying that people should not do this they are saying that there is a great danger in that this spread continuing and that would affect transmission rate so theyre really trying to get across to people not to be tempted to venture outside even though the weather is improving already supposed to go outside of food or medical supplies or the work if you dont have the option of working from home then you are allowed out for exercise as well but there is a fear that the weather might tempt people to go outside and the government really wants to drive home the message that this shouldnt happen because it could cost lives as the disease continues to spread ok mary keeping us posted there from want to marry him thank you very much ok lets pivot now to Martha Herrera who is in madrid spain has reported another 809 deaths and 24 hour some are the 1st question is where do things stand with the state of emergency in spain. Well a spanish Prime Minister better santa at the dress to nation to announce an excess of 15 days extension of the state of emergency lockdown until they pulled 20 states he also reported to this wont be the deadline of the state of emergency that love down and it will be extended but they will study in which the terms will conditions these this 2nd extension would take place if it will be progress saved or who they will keep this stuff the measures he has a where the spaniards that we are facing 2 very tough tough weeks and he needs comprehension from from our side and hes also asking Political Parties from the opposition opposition Political Parties to work hand by hand he has also made a call to the European Union force. To deal with the debt due to it huge Economic Impact this growing of a Virus Outbreak is causing to a spanish economy and society we have to remember that these unemployment figures were released leaving a 3500000 people unemployed and in 2 weeks it would be 2 weeks since march 12th until the 33rd just 100000 jobs were lost the 2 years of job creation were lost in just 2 weeks so the situation in spain is 5 critical so better standard medical to European Union telling them you look at telling them you 2 cannot fail as these time Martha Worthing stand with getting the proper medical equipment ventilator as protective equipment for her Health Professionals there something theres a back and forth thats going on with spain and turkey what do you know about this. Well as many other countries spend has been struggling to try to provide medical aid to the Health Care Workers and its been really difficult buying buying in other countries at this stage q so 3 days have seized one 150. 00 ventilator that were bought to spain 3 weeks ago in china and these chinese card will be delayed only overt gotta 3 weeks ago and since then the turkish customs are retaining these cargo for now for Spanish Foreign Affairs Minister have been trying to bring this cargo to spain through the Spanish Embassy got out with no luck at all spanish turkcell told it is a saying that theyre keeping these 100. 00 of these covered this 150 ventilators in case they need in the future all right Martha Herrera with a wrap up there of a tapping im in spain she is im a trademark to thank you very much iran is the middle east worst affected country and its fight against the virus has been badly hampered by u. S. Sanctions the u. N. Wants them eased as talks within the country turn to getting back to work saying was robbie has more. The last 24 hours weve seen 158 new reported deaths from the corona virus this is the largest its been in recent days weve also seen 22560 new cases so that is lower in terms of overall infection rate that we than weve seen in the recent days but the numbers are staying steady and this is happening at a time when the naurus holiday period has ended and what were seeing on the streets of tehran is that people are beginning to come out of their homes they are beginning to return to work there is more traffic on the roads people are opening shops and businesses despite the fact the government state or stay at home order or stay at home suggestion to its people remains in place the Health Ministry has said that this is a worrying sign that they understand that people need to go back to work that they need to continue to carry on with their lives to be able to make money to pay their rent to be able to purchase food and just to go on living but they have said that this is a worrying trend and if it continues that we could see a 2nd wave of this infection and theyve warned against people starting to emerge into their normal routine theyre saying that the trend of people going to hospital for corona virus has not gone down and we are not out of the woods yet however in iran we are seeing people trying to return to their normal lives our i come out of here as no are again at gare has given rare access was given rather rare access to a hospital and to ryan heres a look from the inside. The grown a virus has mobilized all medical staff in the world here in iran too all medical staff have been mobilized we are here one of the most important iranian hospitals dedicated to treating people with the virus the medical teams and staff are available here 24 sevenths to monitor and diagnose all the new cases here is the place where new patients are received and given oxygens via these ventilators theyre then placed under strict supervision as doctors monitors their conditions the patients are also given necessary medicines according to the International Medical protocol in order to help the patients recover iran is one of the worst affected countries in the world but hopes are still high that country can overcome the crisis as more than 17000. 00 cases have recovered iran still needs a lot of ventilators and medicines to fight off the virus and thats why its urging the International Community to put pressure on the u. S. To allow it to use cash from european banks to import the necessary equipment iran also says there will be massive consequences that will disrupt the region if they are unable to contain the spread of a lot of medical researchers are working here in this hospital to test various medicines and their effects fighting against covert 1000.

And the only if there is an epidemic but this is chinas tradition we can cast to decide. But is china starts to ease restrictions other countries in asia are introducing tough new measures to force people to stay at home thailand has imposed a countrywide curfew and all International Flights are banned for 3 days in south korea the government says it will bolster its social distancing efforts after a recent rise in imported cases of the via. Yes. We cannot loosen restrictions for the moment if we were to do so all of the efforts we have made could be in vain.

As Health Officials have announced new guidelines on the use of masks that President Trump says he has no intention of following them and perm cases theyre heading towards 300000 tons of reports. All week and have been reports of a debate within the u. S. Government on whether to recommend the use of nonmedical cloth musks whenever people go outside and on friday the decision was announced the c. D. C. Is advise in the use of nonmedical cloth Face Covering as an additional voluntary Public Health measures almost immediately donald trump undermining the advice. But this is voluntary i dont think im going to be doing it. Authorities hope the public werent mistake this advice there for permission to wear specialist masks which should be reserved for those treating the infected and want me to they feel even longer feel they need to stay in isolation the president also issued an order preventing the export of personal protective equipment such as and 95 masks to ensure the u. S. A supply of over troubles i suggested that such exports may be up to his discretion in italy if spain who has big problems these have these are countries with tremendous problems friends if they ordered if they have long term orders and theyre in there and they want to get certain things ive let them go out in certain instances because i think its only fair there are fears that if the u. S. Prevents exports of people need to latin america and counter frontline workers will have the protection that they need to deal with the pandemic and that other countries may limit their exports of essential equipment to the u. S. Perhaps the most startling announcement was that tens of millions of people in the u. S. Without any medical coverage will have their bills directly paid by the government today i can so proudly announce that hospitals and Health Care Providers treating uninsured corona virus patients will be reimbursed by the federal government.

This Hospital Police gave a go out of only to show respect to stall and to try and boost the morale. Of the medics here and its hospitals across pakistan did not take hold in several to save lives Charles Stratford i just. Hospitals around the world are generating huge amounts of extra medical waste figures from china show that between late january in early march it disposed of 159000 tons 2040 tons of that were being generated daily and will hunger this outbreak began as infections rise elsewhere other countries are dealing with the same issue doctors and nurses can only use equipment like masks and gowns once before throwing them away and the World Health Organization wants governments to ensure sanitation workers are wearing the right protective gear as well the human as is director of International Relations at Sar Industries or recycling and Waste Management Service Company we appreciate your time very much so how is what is that the surge like that youre seeing compared to other times. Yes good afternoon in fact the most important point i think is to say that because we heard about quantity of d of health care where that is increasing but the main point is not that its a quantity the problem is a volume as you may know that the main type of west that we see with this crisis is used personal Protection Equipment and those equipments are very low density material and they take a lot of volume so the the most important point is to look at the increase in volume and that the the increase in income tittie and this is thought i would say of a bottleneck at the Treatment Plant whatever is the type of treatment on the on this health care west we have to ensure that we can take all the west at the right speed and has the volume is increasing and increasing we have to ensure that we can take all the counting those at the right. At the entrance of the of the treatment camps nicholas what do we know about how how china has been handling this what do we know about what do we know about how china has been handling this is there something to learn from how they handle this. No and i have no real idea of about how china deal with that i can talk about what i know better which is how it happened in europe and i had also a chat with some colleagues in india and at what are the best practices in order to to deal with this this crisis is so wide that what i can say if i made concerning. Europe is that we are in a situation where i would say the interest of teachers exists and the main point is to ensure that the able to treat all these increase in volume so one of the best practice we would like to share with the others is probably we need to have a sort of temporary storage for the treatment and to deal with this temporary storage in order to take the right type of containers one solution could be to have some big. Cardboard containers where you can put in all the used personal Protection Equipment and those cardboard can be the boxes can be stored in the interim. Storage a warehouse is for example and it will help to correctly treat and with the right speed all that d all that has care with him and we appreciate your expertise in your insight on this as its something thats not going to go away any time soon nicholas amass thank you very much. Well its being called a camp for the dad a spanker parrot in ecuador as it struggles with one of the worst koeppen 1000 outbreaks in latin america 145 have died with 3000 or so infections hospitals and morgues are already at a breaking point and the largest city there John Heilemann reports.

In the us defense secretary a defending Navy Commanders who sacked the captain of an Aircraft Carrier captain Brett Crozier was relieved of command for complaining about the lack of action to stop the spread of the virus among his 5000 member crew they hailed him a hero had a cool hand has more. It was a truly remarkable sight and sendoff a mass of u. S. Sailors swarmed the hangar pay to say goodbye to their captain Brett Krueger removed from his job alone he walks the gangplank as his sailors cheer his name. A clear message the navy says this crew is not happy crozier was removed from his position after a letter he wrote to the bosses went public after a few sailors tested positive for the coronavirus he begged them to let him evacuate most of the ship writing 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 our sailors the acting secretary of the navy says that language and the fact that dozens of people were sea seat on the email were the reasons he was removed he called his letter unnecessary when the Commanding Officer of the u. S. S. Teddy roosevelt decided to write his letter on the 30th of march 2020 that outlined his concerns for his crew in the midst of the covert 19 outbreak the department of the navy had already mobilized significant resources for days in response to his previous previous requests. That doesnt seem accurate given on the same day the secretary of defense said there was no need to evacuate but as the captain pointed out in his letter its an Aircraft Carrier with almost 5000 sailors on board they eat sleep and work in close quarters there is not enough space for social distancing as his letter became public the sailors started being moved to shore but at a cost to the captain your commander an Aircraft Carrier youre going to meet and the fact that he was willing to jeopardize that or wealthier people to me i just cant tell you how much i admire him hes not alone over 100000 people have signed a petition to have him reinstated and even president ial candidate former Vice President joe biden sent a tweet calling a poor judgment by the Trump Administration that would be cool and with this his crew sent the message the group the radical hang out to 0.

Tripoli britains Opposition Labor Party has a new layer leader pardon me here starmer has been elected to take on Prime Minister Boris Johnson and says he aims to lead labor and to government to get places germy corman who stood out after 5 years following the partys disastrous performance in december a general election emma hayward is following developments from lincoln char.

To start with talking about the challenges that lie ahead because of the corona Virus Outbreak and he faces many other challenges as well of course labor lost the general election back in december their 4th defeat in a row they havent been in power for 10 years so he needs to appeal to the electorate he is somebody who is seen as having a broad appeal within his own party but now he was really keen to reach out to the electorate some of who turned their back on labor for the 1st time in that december election and voted conservative and of course within his own party he will need to unify what has become a fractured party in those the big challenges ahead for him.

The Campaign Group Human Rights Watch says the soldiers who raped her belong to the Rapid Intervention battalion the elite force trained and managed by former Israeli Navy Commandos are confronting around 20 armed separatist groups in the English Speaking regions theyre fighting to break away from the rest of french speaking cameroon and its their own country called amazonia. After Human Rights Watch documented killings and rapes of villagers in English Speaking regions by Rapid Intervention battalions the United States military said it reduced funding and training yet u. S. Commandos continue to support and train them the key to have a good response to do a smidgeon tracked it is information it is and villages and where you will have a lot of us with.

For sport now is fara or shall think some further talks are taking place to discuss English Premier League footballers taking a pay cut a deal is being negotiated that will see players salaries reduced by 30 percent liverpool have become the 5th premier league team to play some non playing south on temporary leave it means 80 percent of their pay will now come from the u. K. Tax player with only the remaining 20 percent paid by the club the players are still in talks with their union League Officials about an agreement to lower their pay on no games are happening lets bring in our Sports Correspondent lee wellings the only are we close to getting a deal. Well its important to remind you that they probably cut how they wrote this townhouse and they were they started to sense they got to go through its now in the hands of the players representatives to create the players making sure theres agreement a professional focus essentially couldnt settle a lot of the wrong consensus they dont want players doing things they shouldnt they dont want into existence a they dont want the line where it shouldnt be this matter has been any credible that the premier league can find itself in the spotlight at this time of unprecedented crisis for england and beyond it is not a good look at all possibly irreparable damage so you have the premier league and english football is saying bit is there really was no need for this drug on so this position and this time its something that could have been result much earlier as well the criticism came in and its a really unnecessary spar and apparently it is launched and enjoyed around the guard and i think the attention has got off apparently by the cards themselves actually going to the u. K. Government and saying we want to followers and bono trying stuff lanes that 80 percent of their wages paid by the who take government these are rich tribes which is the latest that approached the european champions and theyre saying we want people who dont actually trying for the poor to actually receive you trade government funding we will pay the other 20 percent so not this has been well received and has been a lot of attention on it from u. K. Politicians the other side of the current actually those politicians who have looked at them in simple what are others who work each others work implemented donations to your party why not turn your attention on them so the whole thing becomes and huge mess that didnt need to happen at a time when there are no more important things going to u. K. Government needed to be doing. All right well leave it there finale whiling is reporting live for us thanks for now.
