At high risk the u. S. Farmers fearing their arrival of coronavirus and the impact it could have on americas food supply. Leads you to my ear piece maybe good stuff actually. That is that me tommy the robot one of many high tech machines that are being used to protect medical staff in the battle against coronavirus. Hello thanks for joining us we begin with some breaking news out of the United Kingdom where the Prime MinisterBoris Johnson has been admitted to hospital 10 days after testing positive for the coronavirus for more on this lets bring in mary joining us from london via skype what were you hearing about the Prime Ministers condition mary and. Right so we have learned this evening that Prime MinisterBoris Johnson as you say has been admitted to hospital this is after having symptoms of the corona virus for the past 10 days which he tested positive for its worth mentioning that its not an emergency admission currently we just know that he is been admitted to hospital for tests and thats pretty much the extent of it a spokesperson from downing street has released a statement saying that he was admitted to hospital on the advice of his doctor and its been described as a precautionary step that has been taken because of the persistent nature of his symptoms but interesting that he still remains very much in charge of the business of government is and is still in contact with ministers and officials and that is something that downing street is really emphasize of course Boris Johnson has been working remotely for the past 10 days he has been in isolation working from the flat above number 11 downing street and he has been having phone calls and conducting meetings remotely and conducting cabinet meetings and hes also been on social media delivering messages to the public about the importance of social distancing and really making the point that he is still very much in the driving seat and still very much in charge of the fight against the coronavirus but of course there will be a great deal of curiosity and speculation as to why he has been admitted to hospital now this is what we dont know at the moment why he has been admitted to hospital is it that he has symptoms so deteriorated is it a logistical thing because he would be able to Access Medical advice and. Be able to access specialists that he wouldnt otherwise be able to is it just that the symptoms are persistent but right now he remains very much in charge of the government now it was on march 27th that we learned of Boris Johnson and the Health Secretary. Matt hancock testing positive for the corona virus after experiencing mild symptoms of course matt hancock is now back at work he is one of the key faces in those daily government briefings we get updates about where the country is with the epidemic but Boris Johnson has remained in isolation it was interesting because when that news came through on march 27th that was really a flurry of questions about who these 2 had been in contact with in westminster whether other government ministers and other officials might have been affected and concerned that perhaps government officials had not been following their own advice on social distancing and then there were also questions about contingency measures about backup plans what happens if the Prime Minister is incapacitated and we know that in that scenario it would be the foreign minister dominic rar who would take charge but right now as far as we know it is the Prime Minister who is still very much in charge at this evening he has been admitted into hospital we dont know precisely why but it is the persistent nature of his coronavirus symptoms that has prompted this right to marry him as a thank you very much. Now the virus has infected more than 1200000 people its killed over 68000 around the world and take a look at this nearly 600 new deaths have been reported in new york thats the epicenter of americas outbreak more than 1100 people have been killed nationwide the countrys top doctor says americans must brace for the hardest and saddest week of their lives but death rates are falling in the worlds 2 worst hit nations italy has recorded 525 deaths in the last 24 hours thats its lowest toll in more than 2 weeks and spain has reported 674 new fates ality is the 1st time that number has dropped below 800 in a week frances daily test toll also fell however the u. K. Is emerging as europes next hotspot 4934 people have died and the government is pleading with some to observe social distancing rules and in a rare televised address Queen Elizabeth has praised Health Care Workers but warned that there is still more to endure jonah hall has more from london 2 weeks into the u. K. s lockdown and deserted city scenes a testament to a new way of life most people staying home for as long as science and the government decide they must also on lockdown in Windsor Castle her residence outside london the queen 93 years old reminded britons that this crisis too would part. We should take comfort that while we may have most down to until better days were 10 we will be with our friends again we will be with our families again. We will meet again but the government is worried about isolation fatigue and a minority of people embracing the warm spring weather to picnic and sunbathe in the parks on prominent and beaches the more people follow the rules then the faster we will all be through it so i say this to this small minority of people who are breaking the rules or pushing the boundaries youre risking your own life and the lives of others and youre making it harder for all banning all this the ability to go outside to exercise in public as the Health Secretary has said he might have to do would be intolerable to many particularly those who live in cramped apartments with no outside space only compounding the effect isolation has on physical and Mental Health but the argument goes that if people arent going to change their behavior themselves well then they might have to be forced to in order to save lives best friends in meal and gabriel a keeping in touch at a safe distance through the fence is still our best friend and were very good friends so i think thats one of the hardest things about it so weird and being a sponsor full. And we just come for a walk once a day but this is really really difficult as far as i know like this is what the government has recommended you get outside get as much sun and fresh air as you can obviously stay away from people so i think were doing the social distancing quite well with the police exercising Emergency Powers to move people on its expected that britain will get a pretty good idea whether lockdown efforts have helped reduce the peak when it comes in the next week or so but even then a way out of this crisis involving eventual Widespread Community testing and Contact Tracing to manage a 2nd wave is many weeks away yet jonah how aljazeera lumbered well for more on the queens address to the nation we can now speak to royal biographer and commentator Christopher Wilson hes joining us via skype from corporate in the u. K. Thanks very much for your time with us on the news hour mr wilson so the queen and her speech said the u. K. Will succeed in the fight she thanked people say thanks n. H. S. Workers whats your response to what the queen had to say. Well i think perhaps the most important thing is that the ceiling suddenly her speech which is being trailed pretty well became more significant more important. Reminder that britain still has a head of state even when the Prime Minister has gone into hospital and i think there has been a certain amount of fatigue you were saying in your package just a moment ago certain amount of fatigue by people being locked away and to have somebody whos not a politician but somebody with a lifetime of service to the country actually saying stay calm well all meet again i think has probably reassured quite a lot of people certainly social media the seeming a giving the queen thumbs up a 93 or old woman talking to the country and also to the commonwealth which has a population 2400000000 yes so what would have been the thinking in your opinion are as far as you can tell of the queen giving that speech tonight of course it was a pre recorded message and it was delivered before the news broke of the Prime Minister going to hospital yes well you know if you take the speech apart its actually very sophisticated construction calling on her long years of service to restoring can people and i think it had. A significant effect on the British Population shes talked about the commonwealth and of course thats a string of 53. 00 countries around the world. Im not quite sure whether they would got the message the same way this was a very britain centric speech even though she talks about the commonwealth so those people outside these shores perhaps would not make the connection quite easily but certainly the fact that nigel. 3 or a woman can speak to such a worldwide audience is indeed an event of global significance if you pull it off and as youre saying i mean she was speaking to the commonwealth and seeing obviously that this corona virus pandemic is really a Global Crisis you dont think that any part of her speech would have resonated on a broader scale. Oh i think it will because you know she was talking in very broad terms it wasnt specific about anything very much part from praising our n. H. S. But any Nursing Service around the world would take her words as being significant to them as well so i think that that work pretty well. Im not quite sure whether she got the global reach on the way the speech was constructed but you know this you to was what was required really a calming voice a reassuring voice a matriarch speaking with long years of experience throwing back to the public the fact shed been on the throne since 952 and you know stay calm stay with me and it will be alright yeah and of course the well wait to see whether the instructions from the head of states actually have an effect on some people that have been out and about in london and other cities in the u. K. But for the time being we thank you very much Christopher Wilson for joining us thank you. Now new york state has reported more than a 1000 new infections in the last 24 hours and as weve been saying before the state remains the epicenter of americas outbreak making up more than 40 percent of the countrys death toll lets get an update on new york and join heidegger castro she is joining us from maryland so the number is just seem to be worrying out of new york. Thats right the spike in new york continues to rain with more than 4000 deaths confirmed over the course of this epidemic in the last 24 hours the state reports 594 deaths now while that number is certainly dire it actually offers a glimmer of hope for those or watching those numbers because it is for the 1st time that the number of deaths in one day has fallen since the day prior now new yorks or Governor Andrew Cuomo quickly warned that this was too early to assess to conclude that new york has reached the apex of the curve that its going down work he says its simply maybe a blip and that new yorkers must continue to heed their stay at home warnings now all but 9 states in the United States have issued those stay at home warnings and nationwide Health Experts have been on Television Screens us morning saying that the social distancing is having a positive effect but that the situation cannot be considered to be under control and then even more dire words coming from the u. S. Surgeon general jerome adams who warned americans that the worst is still coming in the next 7 days. The next week is going to be our pearl harbor moment its going to be our 911 moment and its going to be the hardest moment for Many Americans in their entire lives and we really need to understand that if we want to flatten that curb and get through that to the other side Everyone Needs to do their part 90 percent of americans are doing their part even in the states where where where they havent had a shelter in place but if you cant give us 30 days governors give us give us a week give us what you can so that we dont overwhelm our Health Care Systems over this next week and then lets reassess at that point so a lot of the focus as were saying has been on new york really described as the epicenter heidi but what about projections for other states and where the next hot spots yeah not just projections they are emerging these new hot spots were seeing ones in louisiana in michigan and in illinois just to name a few and thats led the governors of some of those states to criticize the federal governments response you know new yorks governor presented an idea to the nation saying why not distribute these precious ventilators those machines that keep people alive during this crisis why not have them go from splay still places as different areas reach their peak at different times well the only way that would happen is but with a National Directive from the president and the governor of illinois slammed President Trump today saying that had the president taken this threat seriously in february and ramped up production of these ventilators back then then perhaps lives would have been saved in practice now what were seeing is ventilators are in production in the United States but they will not be ready until late april which will be too late after the projected peak of these curves when people who may need lessly have made needlessly die who may have been saved otherwise. Thank you very much as a pastor for the. Well the number of People Killed by the corona virus in canada has increased by 20 percent in one day bringing the death toll to 258 the number of confirmed cases stands at just over 14000 400. 00 canada has appealed to volunteers to support frontline Health Care Workers and is offering full time jobs to reserve a. Year the news hour on aljazeera still ahead millions of people at risk of disease in nigerias overcrowded displacement camps. Fears for those living on the edge of American Society and how they will survive the pandemic. But 1st ecuadors government has begun storing the bodies of victims of the corona virus in giant refrigerated containers hospital and morgue struggle to cope why a keel has emerged as a regional hotspot for infections forcing some families in the city to store bodies at home or thirtys are distributing thousands of cardboard coffins ecuadors president leonie moreto has said up to 3000 people could die in the region in the coming weeks lets get an update from joining us from bogota so it seems to be a really bleak picture coming out of ecuador. Yes absolutely and things seems to be getting even worse another 100 in the new deaths have been confirmed on sunday and the government there is saying that actually the number of deaths are probably under reported and as you were saying in your introduction the city of guayaquil which is the largest in the country and the province of wires have been absolutely overwhelmed by the number of cases by the number of deaths the hospitals there have been absolutely overwhelmed with the pictures that weve seen of bodies left. Piled up one on top of each other some families had are storing bodies at home ad theres leaving them outside the of their homes the government has set up a special hotline for people to call if they need bodies to be picked up that the situation is completely out of control there the Vice President of ecuador also meet a public apology on saturday promising that more help is on their way and in the meantime this situation there is concerning the neighboring countries like colombia where we are seeing a lot of people trying to leave ak whether in coming in to colombia the government saying antiriot police to the border piru did the same and actually even send Armored Vehicles to the border to stop the illegal crossing of ecuadorians into peru and how the coronavirus of i think countries that youre mentioning in the in the region understand or. Yeah i think we should start with brazil which is the country that has seen the seeing the largest number of cases more than 11000 now and theyre issued the areas that there is in a unique response part of the government because president today your balls from that are there is in the middle of a political infighting with the ministers of his own government with the military there were getting. Information that the military is pressuring the the president there to change course since so far hes been minimizing the impact of this Health Crisis in the country a majority of brazilians say that they disapprove of the president s decision so far about in a new poll there also saying that they dont want him to resign not so much probably because they support the way he is leading the government about because they dont want to see a political crisis in the middle of a Health Crisis so thats the situation as of now in brazil and also today there were small groups of supporters of the president is that took to the streets Holding Signs saying we want to go back to work we want to reopen the country and also groups of evangelical christians that were out in support of the president praying in front of the president ial palace here in colombia the latest news there was a decision of the government to open a humanitarian corridor for venezuelan migrants there are almost 2000000 that have moved here fleeing the economic crisis in their country theyre here in colombia but now hundreds want to go back because with the current lockdown there and able to work they work informally on the streets and they are unable to eat if you if you go outside here in bogota you always find families of venezuelans asking you for water just anything you can give them because they just dont have any alternative as of now for their livelihood all right on asunder and patty thank you for that update iran has reported another 151 deaths but also a decrease in the total number of new infections for the 5th day in a row it comes as the country tries to get back to normality as a bus traveling explain trying to run. 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 Hassan 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 some Health Experts saying that that could bring on a 2nd wave year 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 says im compelled to 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 been a 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 its been a tough year for American Farmers theyve dealt with massive floods a trade war with china and theyre now classified as high risk for the coronavirus many of them fear shortages of both food and workers if the virus spreads into their rural. Communities john 100 reports from americas midwest. Here in americas bread basket the coronavirus 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. Farmer is 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 well in the past Year American farms 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 at least it would 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 last 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 keefe naren farmers like him are doing their best to stay isolated and in good health john hendren l. G. 0 chicago. They live on the margins of society and there are fears for how undocumented workers in the u. S. Will survive the pandemic along with their families they have little access to health care and often less chance to avoid the virus rob reynolds has more from los angeles one son to yawn is a day laborer most of the year in the i work day to day so i have to work this is it then with the if i dont work in the kind of a home with i would have enough to cover the basic necessities in a city that is both a cause. At the nonprofit Outreach Center where something yon goes to find work staff are preparing bags with soap tissues and information packets about covert 19 who are really concerned specifically for workers that are elderly were really concerned about them we look at that we have a Huge Population of workers that are 60 and while it work many undocumented workers cant even practice basic virus prevention workers who dont have access to Running Water or can even wash their hands at the month senior osco romero clinic in los angeles dr don garcia treats low income families many of whom are undocumented they live in the shadows their exposure i could very well say on an epidemiological site could even be higher than the ordinary resident or person of the United States just because of their employment standards garcia says some undocumented people ovoid interacting with Public Health systems for fear of being caught like immigration authorities and deported doctors say if the situation remains in which undocumented people stay in the shadows away from the Health Care System during the pandemic it poses a grave risk to the population as a whole theyre becoming a transmission vector to all those other individuals that theyre exposed to unless government policy encourages undocumented people to come out of the shadows the danger of infection could increase for everyone.

Palestinian leaders say theyve managed to control possible sources of corner virus infections except one tens of thousands of palestinian workers in israel. At 1st the Palestinian Government and israel as those who commute daily from the occupied west bank not to do that and remain in israel for a few weeks but scenes like these angered palestinians israeli buses leaving workers showing carona like symptoms by the side of palestinian roads that and the growing number of infections in israel led the Palestinian Government to ask workers to return home.

The coronavirus has transformed the world where empty streets and shuttered businesses are the norm and billions are under lockdown but researchers around the world are developing tests and conducting clinical studies to explore if people who have been infected and cured are no longer at risk the aim is to eventually allow people to go back to normal life the idea behind this is that if people get him you and natural infection they would have a similar situation to someone having received a vaccination and we could use the protests as nice proper Antibody Tests become available we could use Antibody Test to document that immunity exists.
