Getting nervous about the crown of virus coming to town as the spring planting season weekends. Began in the u. K. Were new coronavirus figures show another 621 people have died in the last 24 hours thats about 80 fewer fatalities from the day before but with the weather Getting Better people are still going outside despite the governments advice to stay indoors so now you case Health Secretary says he may ban public exercise talk about spain and the latest figures there provide a little bit of hope for the 3rd day the death toll has fallen still 671. 00 fatalities though 74. 00 that is that is down 135. 00 from the previous day and the infection rate is also slowing in iran the president will allow low risk Economic Activities to resume starting on saturday 2 thirds of government Sector Workers will head back to work despite warnings. Of a possible 2nd wave of infections lets go now to mike hanna in a moment hes in the us with the latest numbers out of our american epicenter new york lets go 1st though to john hall who is in london so what else do we hear out of a downing street today. Well it was that the Health Secretary matt hancock giving the daily government briefing and i think everybody was listening for signs that he intends to crack down further on the restrictions the lockdown restrictions now 2 weeks in in place here particularly with fears in the sunny weather that people too many people were taking advantage of it to picnic and sunbathe in the park and hence undermining the whole effect of the lockdown earlier in the day said that avoiding sun bathing in picnicking was not a request but a requirement so certainly a strengthening of the language there everything up to now has been a guidance only however in this press briefing he said he wasnt planning any changes to those rules for the moment but urged people to strictly follow them nonetheless it was a question about oxygen supply in hospitals after a leading london Teaching Hospital announced earlier in the week that around a week before it had almost run dry of oxygen with the number of people coming in who required managed breathing with ventilators and breathing assistance with masks the n. H. S. Response at that time was to tell hospitals around the country to look at what they could cope with as a maximum in terms of the number of people getting breathing assistance and stick to that effect effectively limiting those numbers and having to make very very difficult life and death decisions about who should be able to breathe and who should not mr hancock was asked about oxygen supplies heres what he had to say. We have adequate supplies for the oaks is needed in hospitals we need to call Specialty Hospital has though we have an equipment failure as a reference and we therefore have to handle it is that this is the normal or ration or the n. H. S. Pleasure of things like equipment that is of course interest is heightened because the nature of rotavirus. And of course as people increasingly start to think about the sort of endgame what that might be the way of getting out of this crisis one of those issues is immunity the number of people who get this virus and every noon to it and if a sufficient number immune to it well then perhaps its beaten it is a question about immunity mr hancock himself was just recently recovered from having coronavirus he said it was unclear to what extent those who have contracted the virus can transmit it he said there are scientific predictions suggesting that the ability to transmit it is lower and that immunity is higher but he cautioned that the science isnt yet definitive john as youre talking im looking behind you at all the people that are outside enjoying the weather and im actually ive been looking at whether or not they are properly social distancing themselves that is what our new normal is right the weather is obviously nice and its going to continue to be nice what do government officials feel like theyre up against now when theres beautiful scenes like this behind you. Well i mean actually this park in east london is probably a pretty good example of how people should be behaving most of the people here are exercising most of them doing it for a relatively brief period of time most of them in groups who live together and are socially distanced from other groups of people the police have been through this pocket picking on the people who arent about behaving as well as they should have been picnicking and sunbathing and move them on but there are certainly other spots other places a park was closed on saturday because thousands of people were out reveling in the sunshine and this is of course the real concern is countries are a week or 10 days or so away from its peak with 2 weeks into a lockdown the government very keen the scientists very keen that a 3rd week of lockdown is rigidly observed in order to try and reduce that peak when it arrives hence these warnings from the government that if you dont behave in the parks would have to ban all outside activity all exercise altogether that will be of course intolerable to many but for the moment for the moment or be it in this lovely sunny weather at least here the message seems to be catching on all right john hall there from london john a thank you very much. New york state has reported nearly 600 deaths and over 8000 new infections in the last 24 hours the state remains the epicenter for americas outbreak making up more than 40 percent of the countrys death toll i canot joins us live now from washington d. C. So mike and you were listening in earlier as the the governor of new york andrew cuomo was giving an update on how things are in new york so what did he have to say. But indeed heres the governor speaking about the situation remaining desperately in new york state as a whole in new york city in particular but this is an important point at this stage he does say that for the 1st time the rate of deaths in new york state has dropped in addition he says the number of people being discharged from hospital is now 75 percent of those who were taken in for care within those hospitals the governor making very clear though that its too early to draw any clear supposition from these figures saying that it could be a blip in the data saying that the statisticians are telling him that theyve got to get the figures in the future to understand whats happening today essentially the governor saying that its either a blip all theres a possibility that new york state has reached the apex of infection or as he put it the possibility that its in fact not of a perks but a plateau which where the amount of deaths and the amount of infections start to level out at a particular point he says though and i must stress that its far too early to say whether this is in fact happening within new york state so what is happening in some of the other hot spots in the country mike. Well the u. S. Surgeon general has appeared on media in the course of the morning and its a very very bleak picture hes painting saying that this is this generations pearl harbor moment he says its there 911 moment he says the following week is going to be very very difficult for all the countrys people saying the difference from these tragedies in the past is that this is something thats not happening in one particular place its going to happen across the country and there are hotspots emerging detroits make sure she can is a new center of this pandemic michigan now being the 2nd state after new york with the highest infection rate louisiana written by 20 percent the amount of infections in the past 24 hours new orleans for example has a death rate that is twice the capital of new york city by capita so certainly there are areas within the United States although weve been focusing on new york state is the epicenter but it appears that the rate is in of infection is increasing in a number of areas and theres still a problem with testing the governor of illinois absolutely adamant that they are simply not enough test kits there is not enough testing going on to draw any clear data about what is happening or about how to deal with this going pandemic were hearing the same from the governor of california where just over 120000 tests have been conducted the governor saying this is nowhere near enough that testing absolutely essential to understand the data to understand that there is an apex coming up with it that it is a plateau this is once again something that has been an issue since the outbreak of this pandemic within the United States the apparent lack of preparedness of the federal government to be able to get those critical items like test kits law. Ventilators like masks out to the country as a whole its being left to the states and collections of states forging an alliance to be on the frontline against this pandemic i canna to wrap up their whats happening in the United States mike in washington d. C. Thank you mike so as i mentioned earlier spains death toll has gone down for a 3rd day in a row the infection rate as down as well or to her has more on the latest numbers from space these figures reflect this pain is entering a slow down trend with the top 130000 people infected from groan of virus and 6000 new positives in the past 24 hours this indicates we are entering a phase of a step ballots and us Prime Minister better santa said yesterday the country is close to passing the peak of infections the death toll has increased 212400 with 674 fatalities since yesterday this is the lowest number in the past 10 days so a little bit of optimism there its a minister has to stand it 15 days to more the the state of emergency lockdown until april 25th he says that these wait he can contain the coronavirus upgrade and he can give some time for Health Care Services to catch up and recover a little bit so they will pass it on to the congress this week maybe 3rd thursday i think and that will approve it because although it was jump artist already support their sense of with this new extension. Former libyan Prime Minister majid freel has died of chronic virus in van and quarantined in an egyptian hospital in the capital cairo since his diagnosis on march 26th jabril at the antigovernment protests that ousted former longtime leader Moammar Gadhafi and 2011 he was later appointed Prime Minister and head of the National Transitional council iran supporting another 151 jets but also a decrease in the number of infections for the 5th consecutive day another positive development some iranians are being allowed to go back to work next week say most probably has more from tehran. Weve heard from Health Officials over the last few days and weeks that things can go back to normal too soon but the president when he made this announcement president rouhani began by saying that all branches of government are on board with the plan that they have moving forward so making it clear that the government is according to him speaking in one voice despite the warnings of normalizing too quickly from Health Experts saying that that could bring on a 2nd wave here president Hassan Rouhani did say that in terms of the details of what is considered low risk and high risk those announcements will be made over state t. V. In the coming hours but we can surmise that what they consider low risk is anything that doesnt compel too large of a crowd to form people can work from home they can open Small Businesses remember this country is a place where the majority of businesses are small to medium so really those environments will begin to see life coming back to life returning to some kind of normal he said that even though those shops and other organizations may begin to start their engines again they have to observe Health Protocols social distancing that still has to be the key element of how to go about doing this its always going to balance between fighting a Public Health crisis and making sure the countrys economy does not go bust he also acknowledged that iran and iranian people are still operating in unknown territory they dont know whether or not this will continue for a long period of time whether the country will become a kind of reservoir for the virus so he said things will be taken one step at a time but we have to remember that the countrys main concern all along has been that the virus might do what sanctions could not which is bring the countrys economy to a standstill and thats really what theyre trying to fight against at this time so head on aljazeera we have brought home more than 350000 utopias which and who are stranded around the world are finally back home another 10 or 15000 are still looking for a way back. I mean look at how they end ocular giving us a few protections from the crown a virus fall out.

And for me to the point is good kids are renowned for their courage on the far.

S. President onil trump has warned americans to prepare for the toughest week yet of a crown a virus and. Jarius confirmed 4 deaths and more than 200 cases of the krona virus displaced People Living in camps across the Northeastern Region are particularly vulnerable as the outbreak spreads the u. N. Says its working with nigerian officials to develop Emergency Response plans a manager says in nigerias capital of tells us about the difficulties with already facing. The big major problem is the absence of enough testing kits only a few 1000 people have been tested and the government as we speak now is tasting after thousands of people who came in contact with people who have been infected with the corner by this in nigeria something the government may have defeated in some years back when there was an outbreak in west africa some of these struck just ask you to place but a major outbreak not because nobody was in nigeria it was felt doomed unless the government has some assistance outside the country the government told us just yesterday that they expected some chinese medical experts to come in to help with the with the with the with the with the control of the of of the current of the outbreak in nigeria and theres been some fumigation efforts going on in major cities in nigeria some states have locked down the state from the travel from people coming in either by road or by at will by sea but the federal government imposed a lockdown on that he made to states the Federal Capital which is subject to late may ghost which is the commercial capital of nigeria and a neighboring state in the southwest of the country where were seeing seoul so some interaction is rising so so far the you know going to governments that its doing all it can to control the spread of this lattice but it will definitely need some assistance outside. To be nationwide locked down and began to means millions cant go to work and many are struggling just to put food on the table and it is being distributed by the government to around one and a half 1000000 ugandans designated as most vulnerable public transport is had a standstill borders are closed and everyones being urged to stay home to contain the spread.

Elation Authorities Say they are concerned that people smugglers are still operating despite the coronavirus pandemic thats after more than 200 head to refugees arrived illegally on the island langkawi they say they were taken there by a human smuggling ring the men accused of taking them escape before arriving in Malaysian Waters. And greece a 2nd refugee camp has been quarantined near athens after a 53 year old man tested positive about 800 People Living him. Are being strained johns raw plus is in athens is the great government is incredibly worried about the number of refugees and migrants who could become sick. This is the 2nd camp thats been placed and locked in a space of just 3 or 4 days as a result of a positive test the great concern here is to the greek government is to move with speed because this camp holds about 1800 people the entire thats more than the entire infected population in greece right now which stands at 1673 so you can see how that such a camp with People Living in close quarters might very quickly overwhelm medical authorities by doubling the number of infections and the fact that this is the 2nd camp is also of concern the 1st one proved to produce about 24 cases 24 infections partly because all sources were lucky the 1st case was a pregnant lady who gave birth in athens hospital and was diagnosed by a stroke of luck while she was giving birth speed therefore with the camps is key so that you can quickly isolate families that are affected and prevent it from spreading to the entire camp the head of the Roman CatholicChurch Pope Francis has held a stress celebrations in a practically empty st peters basilica its the most unusual celebration of the holy week and history events usually held in a huge square right outside filled with thousands of people.

To story repeats in peru where french spanish and belgian citizens all buses bound for an if the space this weekend. The German Government has repatriated nearly 200000 of its citizens including this group in south africa on friday all flights have been grounded there but an exception was made this week. I actually think its a good thing to tell you things they are people. Because. That way we also know that half of them for africa e. U. Governments have been relying on commercial airlines but with fewer flights every day the block is resorting to a mix of charset and military planes e. U. Institutions are also helping to cover costs when their passengers have more than one e. U.

On the way things become more difficult every day in january daily commercial flights peaked at 118000 around the world now there are just 27000 or 100 airlines have completely or nearly completely stopped service its pushed the burden increasingly on to governments like france which seem to playing for more than 100. 00 nationals to the indian cities of coach in the mumbai then chartered an air France Flight to pick up nearly 200 swiss belgians germans and british people in moscow we.

Farmers in the United States are regarded as being at a high risk of catching the chrono virus thats a spike working in bast open fields on the socalled farm belt and midwest if there are shortages of both food and workers that the virus spreads into the Rural CommunitiesJohn Henschel reports from chicago. Here in americas bread basket the corona virus has yet to descend in force on the nations farms. But john keep your nose its coming and the timing could hardly be worse some people are going to get sick the numbers are out there the history of this virus is were not going to avoid it like most farmers keefe nurse who raises corn soybean and chickens is already socially isolated but the average u. S. Farmers 58 and a half years old putting them in the High Risk Group for the Global Pandemic that is yet to reach much of Rural America a lot of younger farmers arent worried about it all im of the mindset that im probably not going to avoid it im going to get it and id rather get it now in the past Year American farmers have endured damaging floods a trade war with china and now a virus that threatens their workers and their ability to transport food to market if we shrink the labor pool this year thats going to be terrible all the emphasis is on the supply chain and my biggest fear is the Transportation Industry we constantly have a shortage of Truck Drivers so Truck Drivers need to avoid this virus. On chicagos Mercantile Exchange and throughout the midwestern farm belt agricultural income fell nearly 10 percent compared with last year and that was before the virus. Then theres the worry about getting livestock to market meat packing plants are labor intensive that would be the biggest problem would be even have processing plants lets say had to shut down even temporarily its going to drive down price for a while because youre going to have a back in the supply chain. John key for says farmers can get through the short term but the longer the crisis lasts the more strained americas food supply will be if this becomes a long to law endemic its going to be a lot of people relying on us farmers until then kiffin or in farmers like him are doing their best to stay isolated and in good health john hendren l.
