The un and aid agencies warn of the invisible effects of the pandemic and lockdowns on womens lives worldwide. They began to be u. K. Were foreign secretary dominic robb is stepping in to lead the government thats after Prime MinisterBoris Johnson was moved to intensive care and london after his cove in 1000. 00 sentiments got worse on monday night and as what happens usually at this time every day the briefing that as starting the briefing is about to start at downing street lets listen professor chris witty before we get into the detail kerry 1st give an update on the condition of the Prime Minister i know a lot of people be concerned about that i can tell you hes receiving the very best from the Excellent Medical Team thats in Thomas Hospital he remained stable overnight he is receiving standard. Oxygen treatment and breathing without any assistance hes not required any mechanical ventilation or noninvasive respiratory support your range of good spirits and in keeping with usual clinical practice his progress continues to be monitored closely in Critical Care and will give further updates on the p. M. s condition when there are any material developments and i know that theres been a groundswell of messages of support from people here at home from leaders across the world and i know that everyone will want to join with me in wishing the Prime Minister a very swift recovery as you all know the Prime Minister asked me to deputize for him once he recovered and in line with the Prime Ministers instructions this morning i chaired the meeting of senior ministers tackling coronavirus and this afternoon i chaired not date for then this of the cabinet i think its probably worth just remembering that as would be the case for many people up and down the country you know someone at work whos fallen ill with the coronavirus it comes as a shock to all of us hes not just the Prime Minister for all of us in cabinet hes not just our boss hes also a colleague and hes also our friend so all of our thoughts and prayers are with the Prime Minister at this time with kerry and with his whole family and im confident hell pull through because if theres one thing i know about this Prime Minister hes a fighter and hell be back at the helm leading us through this crisis in short order because for us in cabinet we know exactly what he wants from us and what he expects from us right now and following the cabinet discussion today i can reassure the Prime Minister and we can reassure the public that his team will not blink and we will not flinch from the task at hand at this crucial moment well keep all of our focus and all of our resolve with calm determination on delivering the governments plan to defeat the coronavirus. And its with that objective of that unity of purpose that the cabinet turned to Business Today we had reports from 4 ministerial groups on the action were taking across all of the strategic Priority Areas including an excess capacity procurement of ventilators and personal protective equipment the delivery of Public Services including social care on the economy and our support for both businesses and workers and of course on the International Action were taking to reinforce our efforts on the home front. As weve explained before our action plan aims to slow the spread of the virus so few people need hospital treatment at any one time and that will help us protect the n. H. S. His ability to cope at every step weve been following the scientific advice the medical advice and weve been very deliberate in the actions that weve taken so that we take the right steps at the right moment in time we are increasing our n. H. S. Capacity by dramatically expanding the number of beds key staff lifesaving equipment on the front line so people have the care they need when they need it most and as weve consistently said with instructing people to stay at home so we can protect the n. H. S. And so that we can save lives so today i can report that to the governments ongoing monitoring and Testing Program that again as of today 213181 people have now been tested for the corona virus 55242 people have tested positive the number of people admitted to hospital with coronavirus symptoms now stands at 18599 and of those who have contracted the virus 6150 i have im very sorry to say died every death in this pandemic is a tragedy in our thoughts not prayers with their loved ones that what must be an incredibly difficult time. And i think these figures reinforce that the single most important thing we can all of us do right now in this National Effort to defeat the coronavirus is keep on following the governments advice which is to stay home protect the n. H. S. And save lives and turn to trick you i think will talk us through some of the data thank you very much for the 1st slide please its worth remembering this is so youve been listening im to dominic rob who for me basically is leading the u. K. Now is the Prime MinisterBoris Johnson is in the hospital he gave an update on the Prime Ministers condition and also updated the numbers as well and every challenge our correspondent in london was listening in as well so rory what all that you get from what abdominal was saying. Well listening out for any new information on Boris Johnsons condition there was in. The information that was given out at about midday u. K. Time. Today it was pretty much identical to was dominic rob just now said that Boris Johnson is getting that the best possible that he is in a stable condition that he has had standards oxygen treatments hes had no ventilates and hasnt had any device itchy put into his lungs to help help him breathe hes in good spirits and theyll be updates if anything changes after that he gave a slightly more emotional response she said. Its not just out boss speaking for his colleagues there on the cabinets hes not just our colleague but hes also off friends. Scribed him as a fighter and said that he was confident that he would pull through and addressing that that the british people he said this doesnt mean the governments is any less resolute in its nation to fights and he says defeats 19 he said we will not blink we will flinch in the tosca and at defending at defeating. 9 c. There was an update as well on the number of deaths in the u. K. Which is going up by just get my notes out i think the total now is. 6001 second 6159 which is an update of an increase of 750 or so so that i think makes this perhaps one of the worst days so far in the in the current of arts epidemic in the u. K. Shows that deaths wise at least this is not a situation thats getting any better ok arianna youre going to continue to listen to the briefing from downing there and level i will return to you shortly thank you. Lets go to the u. S. Now and the governor of new york state andrew cuomo has been delivering his Daily Briefing and the news as distressingly said that they recorded the highest single day increase in deaths since the outbreak began 731 people die that is the largest single day increase. And we talk about numbers but that 731 people who we lost behind every one of those numbers is an individual is a family is a mothers a fathers a sisters a brother so a lot of pain. Again today for many new yorkers and there are no thoughts and prayers consistently made joins us now from new york kristen the numbers are still going in the wrong direction and or. Thats right certainly in terms of the faith talent though in terms of hospitalizations while theyre still going up the governor did suggest they may be clad towing and that is a little bit of good news he pointed out that in 1918 spanish flu epidemic took 6 months to reach its apex whereas this would be happening in just over a month here in new york and in the surrounding communities possibly of connecticut and new jersey but he did caution that extreme measures would have to remain in place in order for that to happen and in terms of social distancing and he also pointed out that a resurgence could still be possible if. Hospitals werent able to stay on top of the situation as well theres still concerns about gear for medical workers beds for patients and equipment and protective equipment as well and as well as a number of medical personnel in terms of beds theres been some good news in that the u. S. Comfort which was sent to new york to take over overflow hospital patients is now being used to treat covert patients and will be able to accept another 500. 00 patients so that was a step in the right direction towards alleviating that problem anyway what did he say about how much longer or what the outlook was the outlook is partly crystal for the need for social distancing to continue and and self quarantine and things that have been such. Thats the question that everyone is asking and he says that something that hes working on with the governors of those neighboring states one thing that will be necessary in order to return to life as somewhat normal he says is more testing to find out whos had the disease whos immune into the disease and who can safely go back to work and on that front new york has approved a new Antibody Test for use in the state however that needs to be scaled up so that it can be given to people on a large basis he says that thats something that theyre working on in order to get things back to normal but right now things are close in new york for at least until the end of april the measures that were announced in terms of schools being closed in essential businesses right now they are affected so at least the end of april has risen this is taking quite a toll on on Health Care Workers physically and mentally i think that safe to say this is something that the few of them have ever experienced before what is being done to get them help to get them reinforcements. Yeah thats a real concern because this is really intense what theyre dealing with in the Emergency Rooms are certainly the front line not only doctors and nurses but ts and Police Officers are getting sick while trying to keep the rest of us safe so there have been calls for volunteers around the country tens of thousands have answered that call. But here in the city the mayor has warned that theyre going to need even more medical personnel in order to keep on top of the situation i talked to some volunteers who are stepping up recently heres what they had to say. Instead of taking a break before his graduation medical student randy because cells is looking to get straight to work the soon to be urologist and other med students have heeded his universitys call for help and will be assisting doctors on the front lines of the coronavirus pandemic well goes your patient charts and help write notes and and call and help make appointments and just help ease the burden off of the doctors on the front lines helping people during scary times and helping them get better is why i chose to be a doctor not only has new yorks governor signed an executive order to let medical students graduate early hes enlisting the help of retirees as well. God bless america people have volunteered from out of state that come into new york state. I thank them i thank their patriotism i think their dedication and passion to their mission of Public Health but as covert cases continue to rise the city estimates 45000 more doctors and nurses will be needed in coming weeks we really have to state our our Health Workers and of the american on not a sprint and we have to respect them as last week and provide them with breaks where they can really get away in the streets of new york have been unusually quiet these days as all the essential workers have been asked to stay home but every evening at 7 all across the city new yorkers listen have been coming to their doors and windows and cheering for doctors nurses and all 1st responders. Everyone knows well streets here are relatively empty Emergency Rooms are full theyre working so hard ive never seen the e. R. That im following at the hospital as crowded as that was dr sonny moon a licensed Palliative Care specialist had left medicine but is now volunteering at the hospital where she used to work helping sick or in Team Patients communicate with loved ones a lot of things are dying because theyre on isolation so for me that was one of the other reasons i wanted to help because i felt like i can make a difference in a horrible situation. That dedication and Community Spirit finally giving new yorkers something to cheer about christensen out 0 new york. And we have been following the briefing that happens every day at about this time that is happening in the u. K. At 10 downing street and the number of deaths in the last 24 hours from crowd of viruses at least 786 are a challenge has been listening in as well. As law has been laid in this for a because the Prime MinisterBoris Johnson is in hospital so what else have you been hearing from this briefing. Well there were comments from dominic robb basically about what the government is doing to mitigate the full impact of coronavirus seen in the k. How the u. K. Is scaling up the number of intensive care units beds how there are more ventilators being brought on line and how personal protective gear is being tossed tracts g. Frontline stuff the medics that dont exist in the. Battling with the forests on the wards in the u. K. Hospitals this visa being the Big Questions and in some eyes that the main scandals of britains response to coronavirus so foghat doctors and nurses dont have the right kits that theyre on snuff and so late is that u. K. I. C. U. Capacity these lacking behind other European Countries particular countries like germany. That were also hearing from the u. K. Chief scientists and they were saying that the way that the trajectory of the pandemic is playing out in the u. K. Its still that the u. K. Is lagging behind other countries is its tracking fraunces tracking its early but its a week or 2 or 3 weeks behind those other. Trees so the chief science officer was saying that he expects deaths to start coming down in a couple of weeks time which by implication means if they were going to be very high number of deaths as well as for another 2 weeks or say ok or a challenge with the crap out there from london roy thank you very much japans Prime Minister shinzo abbay has declared a state of emergency after certain infections in major cities it sets a last one month that allow governors to call on people to stay at home and for businesses to close i ask or has more from tokyo. Many here believed japan had been spared the worst of the pandemic but an alarming rise in the number of new infections has prompted Prime Minister shinzo to declare a state of emergency the officer carryall if we can reduce social contact between people by at least 70 percent or possibly by 80 percent we can ensure the virus peaks in 2 weeks and that number will decrease the emergency measures will be in foreseen tokyo osaka and 5 other prefectures but will rely on people of zircon them voluntarily residents can be requested to stay home except for essential tasks schools can be closed and public gatherings spanned land and buildings can be requisitioned for emergency hospitals along with food and medicine but some are concerned it might not be enough. I think its a bit late because other countries issued the state of emergency at a much earlier stage more i think japan should take tougher measures like other countries. Japanese companies are suffering this time of the year would normally be busy for this tour bus firm but business is down by 90 percent with only 2 of its fleet of vehicles out on the road. Were asking employees to take pay cuts and early retirement so we can survive and see better days but to do that we need the government to help us. In addition to these emergency measures the japanese government has also announced a stimulus package of nearly a trillion dollars to help the economy survive thats double the amount the country spent on tackling the 2008 financial crisis already hurt by the postponement of the summer olympics the economy needs help quickly we have one negative impact after the other so what is coming now is a huge fiscal package of 20 percent of g. D. P. This is totally unprecedented and comes much faster than before the government is appealing for all japanese to support its measures so that we after other cities effectively close down still bustling tokyo may finally join them i asked aljazeera tokyo. For the 1st time in 5 days spain has reported an increase in the rate of its daily infections and its Health Ministry says 743. 00 people died in the past 24 hours compared to 600 37. 00 reported on monday the rate of confirmed cases also increased slightly on the previous day. So it has reported its highest on them to run a virus related fatalities with 114. 00 more deaths in the last 24 hours it brings the total to 591. 00 killed with more than 7000 infections the government has pushed through Emergency Powers which could be used to step up restrictions sweden is yet to implement the lockdown measure seen across europe thousands of doctors in pakistan have been arrested while protesting against the lack of safety equipment. The only. Place in the city of quick to detain at least 15 medical staff and release them later on tuesday pakistans military now says its in a more personal protective equipment the doctors have been asking for the demonstrators say they are getting infected while treating patients because of this Equipment Shortage meanwhile thousands of afghans living in pakistan are streaming home across the border the only that have been closed as part of the effort to stem the spread of the virus that the pakistani government has reopened it for a few days after a request from afghanistan the Afghan Government has set up a Quarantine Center across to close the crossing rather but thats causing a concern among local residents. With more on this border situation. You have to understand that buggiest on had the largest border with of one has gone over to 500 kilometers but there are only 2 major border crossings one is the door through the khyber pass. In the khyber brooklyn while providence and the other one is in german which connects the. Started in the southwestern province of baluchistan so. Proud of all the bronze reward wanted to go back to of one its done in fact according to the International Organization for migration which had been keeping a tab between then 18th of march about almost 200 turned back to of one its done after that there were no log down progress down flowed the rest in bordeaux and as you mentioned a special request came from of one is done to open the border to allow doors of brown who are stuck inside pakistan because of the log down to be able to return but it will be important to see how different all manage because. Your standard not allowing the buggers on the 3rd and you are still enough one is down to come back so indeed a complicated issue but progress on doing this at the request of the oven government in india will partially lifted a ban on exports of an antimalarial drug that is being tested as a possible treatment for coping 1000 patients thats after the us president s at n. P. R. Could face consequences unless it starts releasing its supply of high trucks to cork when donald trump has praised the drug as a game changer but should be clear scientists have warned there is not enough evidence now that says that it can be used to treat coronavirus. Are you worried about our retaliation to your decision to ban export of medical goods like indian Prime Minister modise decision to not export hydro across the core point to the United States other countries i dont like that decision if thats i dont i didnt hear that that was his decision i know that he stopped it for other countries i spoke to him yesterday very very good talk and well see whether or not thats as i would be surprised if he would you know because indias does very well with the United States for many years theyve been. Taken advantage of the United States on trade so i would be surprise of that worst decision hed have to tell me that i spoke to him sunday morning called him and i said would appreciate your allowing our supply to come out if he doesnt allow it to come out that would be ok but of course there may be retaliation why wouldnt that be a lesser promise and it tally with more on the indian governments decision. They reached this decision after the 1st banning you know adding hydroxy quinn to its list of bad exports on march 25th and then reconfirming that bad on on april the 4th just a few days ago we had the government the ministry of external affairs say just a few hours ago that after assessing and confirming that availability of a number of pharmaceuticals for the indian market that they have decided to. Release exports that they are going to continue supplying hydroxy clark when they said to neighboring countries which rely on india for supply and also to some countries that have been badly affected by coronavirus no mention of the United States in this statement to of course this follows that phone call from President Trump to Prime Minister morning on sunday are asking him to make an exception for the United States and that and saying that india might face retaliatory measures if it doesnt do so india is the wools one of the worlds biggest suppliers of not just generic generic drugs but it has some of the biggest supplies of the finnish hydroxy talk when the anti malaria drug malaria is a big problem in india and indias Health Care Workers have also been a lot of them you know asymptomatic treating coronavirus patients except or have been advised to have been advised to use it aviation experts say 25000000 jobs could be lost in the industry because of the corona virus pandemic one of the entries and the strains largest trade group says governments need to step in and provide Financial Support to cash strapped Companies International air transport Association Says air travel is down 70 percent and the 2nd quarter with many carriers forced to ground their fleets completely industry expects to lose more than 100000000000. 00 in sales. The messaging platform whatsapp says its putting new limits on viral posts in the hopes of curbing misinformation about the pandemic so starting on tuesday if the message has been forwarded more than 5 times you will only be able to send it to one recipient at a time when its apps as it is seen a significant increase in forwarded messages since the start of the pandemic and much of it is fake medical advice circulating on various platforms. The u. N. Says the pandemic has disrupted access to life saving reproductive and Sexual Health services for women all around the world and pregnant women are worried about the effects of this outbreak propagator reports have a box of these final gloves julia mork is 16 weeks pregnant and working from home in where your shes expecting her child in september and keeping a video diary of fun life under lockdown she says shes trying to take enough precaution to protect herself from a covert 19 but shes worried and concerned about how it would affect me. Being cranky. And i am also concerned about how its going to. Impact. The birthing process and also can you going 2. As hospitals around the world struggle to cope with the rising number of patients many women are worried about giving birth at a time of a Global Pandemic which eventually are we going into or without i guess or person or Family Member you are those are. But then on top of that. Delivering in a place and i dont know. With someone i dont know the World Health Organization says pregnant women with symptoms should be part timers for testing while there is no evidence yet of transmission to the fetus new mothers who have symptoms are being urged to take precautions they should cover their mouth and nose so remember they are infectious they can and they could put the droplets on to the baby so we dont think that through the breast milk but you could transfer it through the normal way that everybody else is transferring this through the nose in the mail so where a mosque at all times when youre dealing with a baby and again. Be rigid about washing your. Aid agencies say the pandemic adult downs may destruct access to life saving sexual act reproductive Health Services for millions of women want wide especially those in poor nations but up adamic has impacts on multiple levels particularly when it comes to access to Family Planning and safe abortion care. When women dont have access to these services we see big rises in unplanned pregnancies as well as unsafe abortions so we can expect to see devastating consequences for women and girls around the world because of this lack of access to Reproductive HealthCare Services all go see if you really restricted life hasnt stopped because of this pandemic but it seems to have made things more difficult for Womens Health and their well being.
