Well were just going to break into programming go live to the white house where President Donald Trump is giving his daily coronavirus update lets listen in our great country were fighting korea and were enduring all of this together and we will soon prevail together get a lot of progress we will soon prevail together you get a lot of progress we appreciate all of the great assistance from the governors and people within the states their relationships have been really very good. Spoke with the Governor Cuomo were. Working very hard to get additional things to new york as quickly as possible. We as you know we took care the hospital including personnel last 2500 beds that we built just recently javits including personnel and we opened it up to cove it and thats something that we also did in louisiana and to were doing it in dallas so we have a lot of not only the hospitals being built but now were manning the hospitals because states are in many cases unable to get additional people to work its just an incredible situation its never been a thing like this. One of the most important issues in battling this pandemic is coordinating the delivery of the crucial supplies throughout the nation based upon the most Accurate Information available and weve got the best health care and disaster experts anywhere in the world and everybody will tell you that and were dealing with big parts of the world and tempting them also through this horrible situation where 151 still 151. Nations going through it or working to ensure that the supplies are delivered where and when theyre needed in some cases were telling governors we cant go there because we dont think you need it and we think someplace else needs it and pretty much so far weve been right about that and. Will continue to do it as it really gets this will be probably the toughest week between this week and next week and theyll be a lot of death unfortunately but a lot less death death than if this wasnt done but there will be death were looking for an obvious focus and the hardest hit regions some of them are obvious and some arent so obvious they spring up they come and they. They hit you like you got hit by a club an area that wasnt at all bothered you look at whats going on in new jersey the governor is doing an excellent job by the way but how that sprang up every decision that were made that were making is made to save lives its really our sole consideration we want to save lives we want to see few lives lost as possible. Its therefore critical that certain Media Outlets stop spreading false rumors and creating fear and even panic with the public its just incredible i could name them but its the same ones always the same ones and i guess theyre looking for ratings i dont know what theyre looking for so bad for a country and so bad people understand it if you look at the levels and Approval Ratings and theyre the lowest theyve ever been for media so bad for the for our country so bad for the world. To put it together for a little while get this over with and then go back to fake news during a National Emergency its just essential that the federal Decision Makers cut through the fog of confusion in order to follow the facts and the science. Many hospital administrators that weve been in touch with even in the really hot spots you know what they are communicating directly with us that their level of supplies are meeting essential needs and. At the current time theyre really thrilled to be where they are whenever local shortages are reported were asking states to immediately meet the demand and were stockpiling large amounts. In different areas in different areas and were going to be discussing that in a little while but we want distributions to be made on a fair basis we have to take care of a large country not just certain areas of the country. But no matter where we were weve been there and weve been there vers strong i want to thank fame i want to thank the army corps of engineers i want to thank our military for that. And were going to be adding a tremendous amount of military to help supplement the states thousands of soldiers souses thousands of medical workers professionals nurses doctors and itll be a large number itll be will be telling them over the next version a period where theyre going theyre going into war theyre going into a battle that. Theyve never really trained for nobodys trained for this nobody seen this i would say since 1917 which was the greatest of them all the greatest of this type of battle probably the greatest of them all right 1917. Up to 100000000 people were killed in addition were working directly with hospitals and existing suppliers and distributors to ensure that those with the greatest need are prioritized and that need changes when they its one state or one locale one city and then all of a sudden theyre starting to do well we had some very good reports coming out of the state of washington coming out of various parts of california through areas that we were getting ready to really hit hard we can now go to other areas that it looks like new york is going to be hit very hard. And. Louisiana is just amazing the way it just spread out and everyones doing a good job but theyre going to be hit hard areas in the country that are not experiencing large scale infections or requesting supplies beyond what their present circumstances require and we talk to him and we tell him that we explain it and for the most part theyre good with it we think were right its very understandable that officials would seek to get the most they can get for their communities but the fears of the shortages of lead to inflated requests we have some states and areas where theyre just asking for far more me look we had one state asking 440000 ventilators 40000 think of 840000. Its not possible that they will need that many and now theyre admitting they dont need that many but were getting as many as we can to them. Again nobodys ever seen anything like this in terms of ventilators in terms of protective equipment and uniforms and outfits but it makes it more difficult for distributors to prioritize the real need and that could intentionally and you know that they were they had everybody has proper intentions but they want to make sure theyre 100 percent and sometimes when they know they dont need it they wanted anyway it gives them that extra feeling of satisfaction but we just cant do that its not even possible to think about it and thats why a and were back up remember were back up where the greatest back up that ever existed for the states especially when we started getting into the Hospital Building business and getting into the Medical Center Building Business when you see we built many hospitals numerous hospitals in some states and Medical Centers thats why my administrations been requesting actual usage numbers directly from the states and hospitals to meet their needs we. Because we want to be ready when. When the brunt of it comes which is coming quickly you see it you see it issues you can see it and when the brunt of it comes we want to be ready to hit the area that needs it we dont want to have spent everything in one area and they dont need it theyre anywhere near the expense extent still let me be extremely clear about one point we will move heaven and earth to safeguard our Great American citizens we will continue to use every power every authority every single resource weve got to keep our people healthy safe secure and to get this thing over with we want to finish this war we have to get back to work we have to get we have to open our country we have to open our country again. We dont want to be doing this for months and months and months with an open our country again this country wasnt meant for this few were few were but we have to open our country again. I just spoke with the. Commissioners leaders of i would say virtually all of the sports leagues rob manfred commissioner of Baseball Major League baseball Roger Goodell commissioner of the National Football league adam silver a commissioner of the National Basketball Association Gary bettman commissioner of the National Hockey league jay monahan commissioner of the p. G. A. Tour Cathy Engelberg commissioner of the womens National Basketball association dana white the ultimate fighting championship Vince Mcmahon president of the w w e don garber commissioner of Major League Soccer steve phelps president of Nascar Michael won commission of the p. G. A. Roger penske founder and chairman penske car. Andrew fleming president of the breeders cup and there are a couple of others on and these are all the great leaders of sport and. They want to get back they get to get back they cant do this this sports were designed for the whole concept of our nation wasnt designed for were going have to get back we want to get back soon very soon. For example and i have to say. Were using the defense production act. Very powerfully in some cases times directly in many cases indirectly just the threat of its usually enough but fema and h. H. S. Have ordered 180000000 think of that 180000000 who ever heard of 180000000 and 95 masks and were working now with 3 m. To see whether or not that all works out but we want them to help our country and i think its going to be ok were going to soon let you know but we need the masks we dont want other people getting and thats why were thats why were instituting a lot of defense production act. You could call it retaliations because thats what it is its a retaliation if people dont if people dont give us what we need for our people were going to be very tough and weve been very tough usually we dont have to use it but weve used the plenty its turning out more and more unfortunately and it works very well our supply supply Chain Logistics Task Force Led by admiral john paul of jack who is doing a fantastic job will ensure they are distributed to the health care and Critical Infrastructure workers in the areas with the most pressing requirements thats the 60000000. Masks that were talking about in the 100 in. 180000000 and 95 mass 180000000 who have heard of 180000000 masks. And this is a incredible thing a lot of times we have to stop playing this game if a governor wants 200 ventilators and i say no were going to send you a 1000 we think you need more than 200 and then the media meets with the governor and they say oh you got more well its not enough the president should have sent more so hes is going for 200 we give him a 1000 they say has the president doing he should be given more because its politics thats politics and thats unfortunate because we cant play that game and you know thats one party doing it and the other party is happy but theyre all really happy because they should have been doing this work themselves for a long period of time many of their cupboards were bare with respect to the ventilators fim and h. H. S. Continue to monitor the data on an hourly basis where provided by the states in order to most effectively target the distribution of supplies weve been asking states to provide us with daily updates on the number of ventilators and their utilization rates because some states have more ventilators than they need that anyone like to admit it will admit it when everythings over but that doesnt help us very much this data is vitally necessary so that we can ensure ventilators are getting to the right place at the right time fema h. H. S. D. O. D. A developing resources within the next 24 hours they will have a whole different set of criteria every day its different criteria every day this horrible invisible enemy changes of course it changes course. If you were fighting. The normal fight you know whats happening here is they had one they had another they had another state they hit areas that you didnt expect but were watching it and were capturing it our goal is to stay several days ahead of the needs in each state but we can only do that if the cities and states utilize real time local knowledge to provide timely and persist data about actual use its so we have to be able to do that and if a state has ventilators as an example that they know theyre not going to need they should give them over and we should move them with the other ones we have now 10000 in our pipeline and stockpiled 10000 close and were moving some into new york supernanny need some additional were moving some into new york city and state separately and were bringing him to the point where theyll need him i can also report that at my direction 1000 military personnel are deploying to new york city to assist where theyre needed the most thats the hardest of all the hot spots new jersey is right there its right next to it and i dont know if thats overflow but new jerseys its a great state and its a very crowded state also where you have people on top of people its always tough but. Were bringing in some of the ventilators we got some from new jersey just yesterday and were going to bring them some more including doctors were getting doctors nurses respiratory specialist and other support workers these are from the military were taking people now out of our military weve been doing it but now were doing that on a larger basis and i want to thank secretary of defense esper who will detail some of what were doing tomorrow and monday as the situation in Washington State continues to stabilize were returning a 300 bed federal medical station. To a different location so we need it and we appreciate that they wont be needed and we appreciate them letting us know were going to move it to a different location weve already built many governors initially made large requests for federal support for their states in anticipation of a greater number of cases but the residents of Washington State of done a really good job of following the federal distancing guidelines they really have im also pleased to report that oregon will be spending and sending this spending a lot of money because they really did stockpile well and theyre also sending 140 ventilators directly to new york which we appreciate and i want to thank the Vice President for the great work hes doing every day dealing with our nations governors mike pence has been working day and night on this and we want to get it over hes got to get a little more sleep than hes getting isnt getting very much i will tell you that and were all in this together and its a beautiful thing to see how people are joining forces to help one another if they really are in addition to our courageous doctors nurses and Health Care Workers i also want to thank the incredible food supply workers who are feeding our nation i spoke just a little while ago to senator bozeman you know senator bozeman we all do is a great senator is a great person we spoke just this morning and we discussed how important is to keep our farmers and ranchers processes and distributors in our nations prayers. And i want to thank the senator for the incredible job hes been doing and a lot of the senators and congressman and everyone everybody is working very hard with my administration is working very aggressively to pioneer new medical countermeasures to treat and prevent infection. Working on a lot of things we must utilize our nation scientific brilliance to vanquish the virus we have to vanquish the virus as quickly as we can because. We have a lot of things happening in this country and we have a great future but we have to get back to work this week the f. D. A. Established the quran or a virus treatment Accelerator Program which is expediting the development of new and and viral and other therapies and theyre doing it on a very rapid basis and i think were having some very good results or tell you about that h. H. S. Continues to speed the development of therapies derived from human blood that have the potential to lessen the severity or shorten the length of the illness and as you know less saturday the f. D. A. Also gave emergency authorization for hydroxy clore clora quinn and. The hydroxide chloroquine is a. I hope its going to be a very important answer and were having some very good things happening with it and were going to be distributing it through the Strategic National stockpile. Its going into the Strategic National stockpile to treat certain patients and we have millions and millions of doses of it. 29000000 to be exact in addition to that were making it and were also getting it from various other locations and countries and one case i called the Prime Minister modi of india this morning they make large amounts of hydroxy clerk when. Very large amounts frankly and i said. They had a hold because you know they have 1500000000 people and they think a lot of it and i said id appreciate if they would release the amounts that we ordered and they are giving it serious consideration but they do make india makes a lot of it that we have already 29000000. If you look at minutes a big number 29000000 doses and weve got millions of doses that are being made here and many millions of doses that are made elsewhere that are being shipped here and it will be arriving were just hearing really positive stories and were continuing to collect the data but. Ill just speak for myself its been out for a long time its a malaria drug its also a drug for lupus and theres a. Theres a study out that people with lupus arent catching this horrible virus and not at the not affected so much by it now maybe thats correct maybe its false you dont have to check it out. But there is a lot of very positive things happening with that thats a game changer thats the case obviously we continue to work on the vaccines but the vaccines have to be down the road by probably 141516 months with doing great on the vaccines i think johnson and johnson is leading seems to be leading in terms of the studies but well see what happens but i feel good about that but thats down the road but. Tremendous promise with with whats just been mentioned in addition to that gilly had sciences has initiated a phase 3 its down the line meaning clinical studies of the drug rem disappear then its approximately 1000 patients which is a pretty pretty good study the drugs are also being studied in patients and this week Oracle Great Company donated a new web portal larry ellison. Mazing guy and platform to the government to gather Real Time Data on how patients are responding to the various new treatments and they have a very sophisticated site will be learning a lot from oracle and thank you to them were also spending economic. Dollars like you wouldnt believe in speeding Economic Relief to American Workers families and businesses yesterday the Small Business administration launched the Paycheck Protection Program to help employees keep paying their workers in 24 hours the Small Business administration. And over 1200. 00 Lending Partners processed over 28000. 00 loans its so far ahead of schedule and billions and billions of dollars. And its worked out credibly well and i want to thank bank of america and j. P. Morgan chase and a lot of the big banks that have been involved in a lot of the Community Banks Community Banks have really jumped on it and its so far gone way ahead of schedule the s. B. A. Also clarified that faith based organizations including houses of worship are eligible for the Paycheck Protection Program thats great as well as the Economic Injury Disaster Loan Program that youre familiar with on the same terms as every other applicant if we run out of funding for the Employee Retention program i will immediately ask congress for more money this is money thats really going directly to the people that need it the Small Businesses that need it and the workers that need it finally i can because when we open we want to open strong with businesses that are going remember where the greatest economy in the world and then one day we were told to got to shut it down stop it tell everyone to stay home because of this horrible virus and we did that. And we did the right thing but now we have to open we have to open our country finally i can report that as of today the state department has successfully coordinated the safe return of more than 40000 americans stuck abroad and over 400 flights from 75 countries many of those countries were terrific in helping us and i appreciate that very much some of them i had to call the leaders of the country most of whom i know and once i did they snapped like you wouldnt believe they really helped us great so i appreciate that so we put back 40000 americans who were literally stuck in some countries with no chance of getting out we got them back 400 flights 75 countries think of that in those countries in almost every instance had a big problem with a virus i want to thank the American People most of all for the selfless sacrifices that theyre making for a nation i know its not pleasant although some people have said theyve gotten to know their family better and they love their family more than ever and thats a beautiful thing theyve actually gotten to know im there in the same house with their family for a long time i guess you can also work the other way perhaps but we dont want to talk about that and i want to encourage everyone to keep following our guidelines on slowing the spread sustaining this war effort is and thats what it is is a war effort. It is the patriotic duty of every citizen while we may be more physically distant for a time were closer together in the heart and in the spirit and through this Great National unity is happening were having a great unity developing that a lot of people didnt think would be possible to develop like this and we will conquer the disease and restore our nation to its full and glorious might were doing really well and im very proud of everybody out there were very proud of you its something that nobody could have ever projected but over 100 years that a thing like this has happened. And the problem with this one is the contagion its so contagious nobodys ever seen anything like that where its so contagious you can be feet away and just talking to somebody and catch it. You can catch it you know how long it can live on surfaces so things that nobody even thought of the level of contagion so were getting there. Were going to make sure that its over soon and just keep going its not going to be long and thank you very much and with that id like to ask dr hondas baker and hes been. Doing yeomans work at the f. D. A. Thank you very much dr thank you thank you. Thank you mr president im going to speak about the clerk quinn and the efforts around that. Just preface id like to echo what the president said about the American People in the resiliency and just terrific work mitigation is such an important part of our fight against the coburn 1000 virus. Last week as the president said we issued an emergency use authorization to allow the donated hydroxy corkran to come into the country and enter the general circulation we are prioritizing this drug to come in for Clinical Trials also into general use for physicians because as you know physicians based upon their interaction with the patients their assessment of the risks and benefits can write a prescription for hydroxy chloroquine if they think its appropriate for the patient being a physician we do this all the time and that assessment needs to be done between a patient and a doctor and then the 3rd portion is we want to make sure that these drugs are in the circulation in the in the supply chain so that people who have them or need them for the other indications lupus Rheumatoid Arthritis had them available so that was the purpose of the emergency use authorization one of the thing id like to mention is that we on friday stood up a formal Convalescent Plasma Program and we have a great deal of enthusiasm for that there are some reports that this is of benefit to patients in other countries who have had to cope with 1000 virus and what this means is taking plasma from patients who have had the virus and who have recovered and transferring immunity the immunoglobulins if youre with immunity from that person to someones who said. Ik and were hopefully expanding that across the country the red cross is involved in that program and i think it shows a great promise it needs to be studied like other things but just like i said before provides hope we dont want to provide false hope but definitely hope thank you. Thank you very much mr president id like to just take up a couple of moments to talk a little bit about the Public Health aspects and how it relates to what the president just said about the need for us to begin to at least think about returning to some degree of normality and that has to do with whats going to be happening as we end this week and we go into next week you will be seeing and we should not be surprised because the kinetics of how this virus works is that were going to be seeing that theyre going to be deaths that are going to continue to go up but as i mentioned to this group and to the general public multiple times there really is a cascading of events where you have new cases hospitalizations intensive care and deaths so at the same time that we may be seeing an increase in deaths we want to focus on the effect of mitigation is really the number of new cases and thats what were going to be thinking about and looking about so were going to pay close attention to that and hopefully the kinds of medications that were talking about are going to have the impact to allow us to begin to think about maybe changing a bit so the question arises is is the mitigation working so lets look historically and then theyre just look at that at the reality of it clearly in the countries china included that have implemented since very strict. Kinds of programs of mitigation clearly it works in our own country weve seen in the cation of that in washington remember Washington State was the 1st to get hit but they put in a really good program of mitigation and if you look at the charts that dr bird showed the other day theyre still down theyre doing well and theyre. Reason is again what i said before but i think its worth reiterating that we have 2 opposing forces here the virus which is wants to do with the virus wants to do viruses transmit from people to people when people are separated from each other virus does not transmit it doesnt go anywhere and thats the reason why something as simple as the physical separation because if you look at the Vice President s chart that he shows all the time here from this podium every aspect of that ending the cold bit outbreak in 30 days has some aspect of it a physical separation whether thats avoiding crowds whether thats staying 6 feet away from people whether thats doing teleworking all of it does that thats our most important tool well be talking about vaccines and drugs and things like that that will mitigate later but this is what we really have to do and i want to i want to actually just please as i do multiple times from here to the American Public know as sobering and as difficult as this is what we are doing is making a difference so we really need to continue to do that i must tell you i was just mentioning to the Vice President as we came in last night when i was in here i went out with my wife and i actually did a little power walking down massachusetts avenue for those who live in washington know what im talking about and we passed a couple of restaurants where people were getting takeout food the restaurants were closed to people going in but they were open to take out and i saw something that absolutely made me feel really really good they were separating themselves by at least 6 feet in fact some of the restaurants had Little Things on the floor that said stand here and stand there and i think if we as a nation pull together to do that hopefully when we keep coming back here at these press conferences well be able to show you that that curve that we keep talking about is go. In the right direction to be happening answer questions later thank you. Ok police. Arrested are hearing that the viruses springing up in areas you did not expect yesterday you said some states in the country are not in jeopardy the fact that this is unpredictable isnt that an argument for every state to have one he said no where look there are some states that are you have great distance natural distance big land few people and theyre in very good shape and if there is a case they can quarantine that person or that person will be separated will be brought to a hospital secure d area so you do have Different Cases as opposed to a new york or Los Angeles Los angeles is doing incredibly well by the way but areas we have lots of people take together is a big difference so you know its a bit different there are many Different Cases police. You mentioned go throughout the talks over a 1000 troops going to new york and that are we expecting other masterplan its rocketry and there isnt just our visas you know nothing as many of the places are really in great shape there and theyre really have done a fantastic job and we may add to the 1000 but new york will be getting about a 1000 military people nurses doctors lots of other people thats within their grasp and thats no medical no no medical military medical billing this sir you twitter earlier today that you like the idea of a 2nd problem are its task force that is focused on reopening the good. One i mean if you were planning to go forward i think you are getting a group of people and we have to open our country you know i had an expression the cure cant be worse than the problem itself right instead of ascendant. And i continue to say the cure cannot be worse than the problem itself weve got to get our country open. Reopening each other call this war in serious disease things like the. Battle arena and ive said it all i want i want fans back in the arenas i think its i think its a no by whenever were ready i mean as soon as we can obviously and the fans want to be back to you know they want to see basketball and baseball and football and hockey they want to see this sports they want to go out on the doll forces and the braves nice clean beautiful fresh air no the thing i cant tell you i cant tell you today but i think its going to be sooner rather than later but and you know were not going to have to have separation for the rest of our times on the planet. We need it for this period of time but eventually people are going to be able to occupy those seats and arenas next to each other like we have for all of my life and all of your life. They want to sit next to each other at restaurants they dont want to be so you know 6 feet away and yet some restaurant man called up he said yeah im worried because i have a small restaurant with not too many seats he said 120 and he said if i practice what this is im down to 30 seats i can make it i said dont worry about it thats for sure period of time youll be back here number of seats we cant do that otherwise youre making everything that means the stadium is half the size of what it was a month ago no theyre going to be close together but theyre going to be breathing air thats not infected thats not going to kill people place if youre not. Happy citizens by august 1 im not committing to it or not committing to were going to see where we are be great if we could but were going to be back to good health soon in my opinion were making a lot of progress that were making progress because as tony told a story about the restaurant and about how they were separated sort of automatically people are doing that people are doing that this thing in their homes they dont want to go out there doing what they know is the right thing to do its not very complicated its in many ways its a very beautiful thing to see where. We have no contingency plan were having the convention at the end of august and we think by the end of august well be in good shape we have no contin cheaper you know its going to be in North Carolina she know in charlotte and i think were going have a great convention. I noticed i think we had an opponent but i. I almost didnt know who it was he got point 00001 percent of the vote. But i heard he dropped out 3 or 4 weeks ago. Im not sure maybe you could tell me thats the kind of opponent i had and hopefully we have another one just like that in just. A moment her working on the next round of these packages wallace not in the stimulus package you signed last week that you would like well i think were going to need more money for the Small Businesses its been working out so well its been so efficient the banks have been doing an incredible job i think were going to need more money there i think it will see but based on the 1st. The 1st couple of days its been incredible i think that restaurants and entertainment that would be include sports leagues all forms of entertainment go back to the original where they get tax deductability for what theyre doing and for people come in and buy tickets or go out for meals and corporations can then send people into these restaurants who are going to have a hard time otherwise opening in my opinion and that could be the same for the sports leagues so we want to see for entertainment and for restaurants deductibility so that corporations can take a deduction theyll send their executives theyll send people there and they get a deduction. That is something that will really bring life back to the restaurants i think make them hotter than before you know they used to have it and when they ended it it was really never the same it was never ok we have been listening to President Trump giving our daily updates from the Coronavirus Task force starting that update by saying there will be a lot of death in the next 2 weeks very much keen to stress that america is no ice of the woods yet but still insisting that the country has to get back to work let said speak with all to say it was mike hanna he joins us now live from washington mike lots to pick hill for from that press conference just give us a sense of what you think the main talking points there were. Well in terms of detail theres not that much to pick over quite frankly President Trump delivered a somewhat around billing address expressing the insistence time after time that this country has got to get back to work insisting that weve just heard now that the Republican Convention will go ahead at the end of august he says he spent the morning speaking to commissioners of various epileptic codes within the country saying that they want to get back to playing they want to get back to filling arenas so on the one hand you have President Trump saying right at the beginning there that there are going to be more deaths in the days ahead that kind of bleak progress in that it has been given for the past few days another detail that he did mention is that some 1000 medical military personnel are going to be going to new york city to aid the medical services there the flow of ventilators he says is being shifted from state to state basically some states such as Washington State going ahead of the curve it would appear at this particular stage theyve got some ventilators that they can release to other states so this logistical supply chain going on but once again little detail there in terms of anything from president we did hear from the scientists the scientists pointing out the foundry in particular stating once again that mitigation is the only way to fight this saying how difficult it is pointing out as well that apex is yet to come in many places in many areas of the United States the apex is the time it which the most amount of deaths are occurring because of infection from the virus we heard from the governor of new york state early on today saying the apex in that particular area in that particular state could be from anything from 7 to 14 days and that is the critical point the governor of new york state said in a briefing that had a bit more detail. Then we had from the white house right now and insisting that the state has got to be ready at the point of apex all preparations now are geared towards that we heard the same there from dr antony tree saying that everything has got to be ready everything has got to get into place in those areas where the apex is going to hit so there really have the general kind of feelings expressed at the regular Daily Briefing and we will be hearing it will go on for a while longer no doubt it will indeed and we will stay across it might kanno though joining us live from washington d. C. Thank you very much indeed were going to keep track of that truck press conference for you and bring you all the very latest stay with us and ill just sirrah ill be back with you after this very short break so. Hallow in the car will say we have Tropical Cyclone howard this thing up here circulating around on its way to vanuatu and thats where much of the energy is because if you look back over australia apart from a clutch of thunderstorms in the north weve got frontal systems in the name between not much and thats more or less the forecast so all says rather windy and still wet in victoria and tasmania for a while with temperatures in the teens its warm and dry and said the warmest in brisbane and still pretty warm in perth it does look quite cloudy in Western Australia but i dont think much will come of it and you still got that was in fact increasing to about 30 to about how we get to monday and where you might hope to see showers ignored in australia there are very few and the rain has dried up by monday in victoria and tasmania but the temperatures have not risen. Now as we enter spring this range of get more and more interesting in china at the moment is coming in paris isnt going again so from the forecast point of use to what was almost a winter storm just catching the funnels of honshu and rain rather than snow for the most part but a cold feel 115 in tokyo for northern china and the korean plates are still relatively warm and sunny the right in the south there will be for system to and hong kong will not be exempt its going right for you. But. Its context is everything in good storytelling around the biggest issues. I had today is will do it again. This is al jazeera. Hello there im hala mohit scene and this is the aljazeera news our live from london coming up it will be probably the toughest week between this week and next week and theyll be a lot of death unfortunately a grim morning from President Trump as the United States confirms more than 300000 corona
