A lockdown as opposed to 31. 00 provinces across turkey including the biggest cities at this time by an anchorite. Its one month since the World Health Organization to clear the current virus crisis a pandemic more than 1700000. 00 people around the world have been infected and the death toll is now 103000. 00 but the u. K. Has supported another big jump and deaths recording 917 more people dying in hospitals in the past 24 hours this takes to the death toll to more than 9800 the secretary is warning new u. K. Has yet to reach its peak of this outbreak so the lockdown will stay in place theres cautious optimism though in spain where the number of daily deaths has fallen for a 3rd day in a row still 510 people did die in the past 24 hours but that is the smallest jump in 1000 days its one of the worst hit countries in europe along with italy where more than 18000 people have died and nationwide lockdown has been extended until early may and the u. S. Recorded more than 2100 deaths overnight the highest sing. Day toll anywhere in the world a choice is down from london with the latest on what is happening there certainly dame as we said the number now more than 900 people have died in the u. K. In the past 24 hours could these numbers in some sort of context what are the trends were going. Well richelle this isnt a surprise its broadly in line with what weve seen in the last week as we apparently approach the peak here in the u. K. Of cases now on the 24 hours to friday it was a record daily death toll of 980 so this new figure into saturday of 917 broadly in line still going up and on saturday morning the u. K. Health secretary stated on the radio that. Were far from being of able to relax restrictive measures here in the u. K. Because that peak is at least 2 weeks away that chime in with what Senior Scientific advisors have been saying at these daily briefings the Health Secretary hancock has been under fire from the British Medical Association representing doctors and prom the nursing body here in the u. K. They say that their members are putting their lives at risk and im not receiving the cortex the correct protective equipment still we know that 19 Health Workers have died so far of coated with a copy of 19 that was revealed by mr hancock who says hes in setting up an inquiry or investigation into whether they caught the virus at work but clearly many practitioners very angry still about the level of protective gear that theyre getting now the government now is pointing to the arrival on friday of a shipment of equipment from turkey 250000 individual items like face masks surgical masks and protective suits which are going now to be distributed from a Central National health service. Distribution hub which is great news for the Health Sector because anecdotally theyre having to buy their own equipment theyre having to reuse equipment that they shouldnt and just in the last few hours weve been hearing that a well known. Program on television a drama about a hospital a b. B. C. Drama that team is actually donated working bent. As to the National Health service the pencil exit been coming in and very small numbers in dozens rolled up in the hundreds and thousands that are needed especially for those large super hospitals that we keep hearing about being set up around the country ok with the latest there from london a damed thank you were than half a 1000000 cases have been reported in the u. S. Making it the worst affected country despite that president continued to express optimism you can see for the 1st time that in the United States were starting to level on the log rhythmic phase like italy did about a week ago and so this gives us great heart not only in specific places but were starting to see that change obviously a lot of that is driven by the improvement in new york city remember for a long time they were over 50 percent of our cases and 50 percent of our new cases that is dramatically changed because of the impact of what the citizens of new york and new jersey and across connecticut and now rhode island are doing to really change the course of this pandemic and really change the trajectory of new cases but as a side there have been more than 2100 deaths from coven 19 and just the past 24 hours in the u. S. And more specifically figures from the u. S. Show that minority communities have made up a higher proportion of krajina virus victims compared to their share of the population and thats being attributed to greater levels of poverty and lesser access to health care a top u. S. Health officials now warning that people of color are at greater risk. In new york city hispanics represent the majority of death in Waukesha County blacks are 25 percent of the population but almost 50 percent of the cases in 75 percent of the deaths. So whats going on well its alarming but its not surprising that people of color have a greater burden of Chronic Health conditions africanamerican the native americans excuse me develop high Blood Pressure much younger ages and so less likely to be under control and does greater harm to their organs Puerto Ricans have higher rates of asamoah and black boys are 3 times as likely to die of f. M. As their white counterparts and i hanna joins us live now from washington d. C. Mike the governors a the states in the u. S. Each governor they have really really been going at this all on their own theres been a lot of criticism that theres not been a a big federal us response to how to handle this pandemic in the u. S. And yet president trunk continues to say its up to him to decide when to to reopen the country i think thats a paraphrase i mean thats basically the phrase hes use what power does he really have in this when its really been the governor said have taken charge. Well the short answer to that question is that the president cannot order governors to follow his lead in terms of social distancing or opening up or partially opening up but thats the short answer the long answer is far more complicated and complex and that is a constitutional issue that is likely to be talked about in the weeks and indeed months to come interesting that a republican president seeking to exert greater executive powers over the states when republicans for decades have been seeking to minimize those powers of the executive over the states but certainly state governors have been angered since the beginning of this pandemic pandemic with the lack of authority a lack of clear direction from Central Government theyve been left on the front lines essentially the position of the trumpet administration has been that they will be there to back up the states the states are saying that they need far more federal involvement to effectively come to this pandemic in the last few minutes the mayor of new york city bill de blasio has announced that all schools within the city all 5 boroughs will be closed for the rest of the school year this means that some 1100000. 00 children would have been without 3 months of regular education because of this pandemic but its an interesting point in terms of this why the issue the mayor of new york is able to have that that decision and in fact has the right to make that decision of the governor of new york state is very likely to follow with the state wide closure in the coming hours so this is how it works at the moment its how it works constitutionally mayors have rights over this citys governance have rights over this states the executive the president has rights to a degree over the country as a whole ok so where do things stand with testing like this is another thing where there is a kind of a bit of a divide governors and and certainly some governors in certain states have tried to take the lead with testing that there hasnt really been and an organized federal response although theyve helped out here and there so where do things stand on ramping up on scaling at testing. Well President Trump claims that the u. S. Is testing more people than any other country but this is highly misleading because President Trump quotes the figure of more than 2000000 tests are being conducted but experts point out that this figure is meaningless without a pro capital ratio how many people are being tested per 1000. 00 per 1000000 and this is something that President Trumps not providing the figure of more than 2000000. 00 tests in a country with a population the side has no meaning whatsoever according to most experts the states had been calling for more tests kids since the beginning of the pandemic it within the United States there has been a shortage of test kits there has more importantly been a shortage of working to skids now what were hitting is firstly a lack of testing which continues secondly a lack of diagnosis very difficult with all the labs around the country completely overcome to be able to conduct diagnosis of the testing now the governors have been arguing repeatedly on the side of the Health Experts whove been saying that you cannot consider opening up areas partially opening up areas or completely opening them up without sufficient data to base that decision on and that data comes from testing from widespread testing without that you cannot make an informed decision President Trumps being hitting with 2 fronts here on the one side the Health Experts who are pushing him back from any premier opening of the country as a whole on the other hand hes got his Corporate Leaders who are insisting that its got to open for the economy to work President Trump says its the biggest decision hes ever going to make ok mike hanna live for us in washington mike thank you turkey has had it says Populated Areas under a 2 day lockdown to try to contain the spread of the virus bakeries hospitals pharmacies and workplaces making medical equipment they are all exempt restrictions or to to end on sunday at midnight because hell explains how good weather led to the curfew. It was like a regular friday for istanbul probably many assume that because the weather would be nice for today and tomorrow sunday and also routines were afraid that more people would be going out yes the cafeteria was Restaurants Public places shopping malls theyre all closed down but of course it is difficult to control all those people and there was a conflict between the doans opinion the government opinion and what the Science Board has been recommending so far and yesterday we heard from some Science Board members that some of the it is some of the Board Members some of the doctors were for commending lockdown for the weekends a couple of days in a week but it is just for this weekend for now but many expect that it can continue for the coming weekends as well but so far for for the president s address on a major full lockdown is not possible and this is what the minister the mayor of istanbul has been urging for but it is good for turkey these 10 days is very critical as the numbers off the. Death is rising but for yesterday for last night the reason for that couse was that this was an unprecedented announcement for a lockdown and the circular wasnt issued its simple 10 is the with the lockdown thats what people got panicked people thought all bakeries would be close pharmacies would because and they flocked to the bakeries it to get bread even though it was just the 2 days the spike turkey has suffered many military coups and many curfews what course its not easy for people especially given the current economic tension in a cell in turkey its not is a for people to accumulate stuff food in their home and they need to go out. So hat on aljazeera by Health Experts are concerned out for me the hardest hit by the outbreak. Hes developing an alert to let you know if you could be near someone who is infected. Hello the no its a bad couple days ahead across central and southern areas of china finally get a breather from that very heavy amounts of rain that weve been saying however all this county can see that is an indication of where the next area of weather is heading is pushing across into q shushi koku as a go through sunday and itll work its way steadily into more southern areas of honshu some very heavy amounts of rain coming in with this system and some very strong winds as well its fairly slow moving and its fairly large too with very strong winds to really funneling it also of moisture so a very unpleasant day to start the work we mean lot across into china it is mostly fine and dry 22 in hong kong and very warm in beijing and as clear skies are the high over 25 widespread shahs and thunderstorms across much of indonesia but through sunday the rains becoming really quite heavy across into laos coastal areas of vietnam and then as we go on into monday those rains working the way southward through thailand and very heavy particular along these coastal areas across into cambodia as well and the rains of course very extensive particularly across into somalia to say we go through monday and then in india its a mostly fine picture we have got one of 2 showers into kara that also be developing into bangladesh in the far northeast still staying very hot in the interior. In a country beset by poverty and lack of infrastructure. Sometimes we risk our lives in taking these roads with cattle saving lives is a dangerous job its a vaccine so its on a good 24 hours there are patients waiting because medicines who must be in pain lives earth risk a week ago one of the gang stops some vehicles on the road at that can do it with weapons. Risking it all guinea on aljazeera. This is not just syria lets recap the top stories for you now on the case in another big jump and its reporting 917 more people dying in hospitals in the past day well secretary warns the u. K. Has yet to reach the peak of its outbreak so the lockdown will remain and the u. S. Has reported more than 2100. 00 deaths from corona virus and the past 24 hours the highest single day told anywhere in the world more than half a 1000000 cases have been detected the largest number of clovelly in turkeys most populous areas are all under lockdown after the government imposed a surprise curfew its to the last 2 days and it backs 31. 00 provinces including the biggest city istanbul. After the virus emerged in china at the epicenter of the disease so shifted to europe overwhelming hospitals and forcing tens of millions of people into lockdown and there are questions about whether the European Union will survive because of but critics say it was a model response or a slave reports childcare today im not. Saying. If you call to mind back to the days before everything changed b. C. Is extraordinary how badly things we misjudged how. This video was shared by the mayor of midland on february 27th when politicians in northern italy where are the blaming migrants for the virus or insisting the countrys Financial Capital thats remain open for business as a piece of politics it was catastrophic this messages had a huge impact and probably led people to underestimate what was happening here after a couple of weeks both had the old these politicians had to apologize. More than a week before that. Tens of thousands of football fans have descended on the san siro stadium in the land to watch the Champions League game between atalanta and the Spanish Club Valencia its now widely suspected that this was the trigger for the virus to jump countries. As the days turned into weeks the sheer horror of the situation turned into a daily reality. 300 dead 4056708 day italy peaks that just under a thousands. There was no exit but the bodies they used an ice rink in madrid the spanish capital absolutely on its knees by now europe was in a flat panic its famous open borders were closed by march the 11th the u. S. Had banned flights from the shang going to area and inevitably the ban was reciprocated business stops and employment rockets and european unity was nowhere to be seen amid allegations of countries hoarding protects of medical equipment and not sharing it with italy and spain no member state can handle this crisis on their own. And because in this crisis and in our union more generally it is only by helping each other that we can help ourselves not only could europe not agree on ways of helping each others economies there were enormous differences in the response to the pandemic sweden didnt go into lockdown at all germany tested as many people as it could for the virus and had a much lower death rate than other countries hungary banned elections and handed all power to Prime Minister viktor orban am to the consternation of much of the European Union. France began the same grim should actually of cases as italy had a few weeks before and the u. K. To where the countrys underfunded Health Care System was feared to be under such strain that the army helps build new hospitals in exhibition senses Prime MinisterBoris Johnson had to be rushed into intensive care with the virus and is only now beginning to recover europe felt like it was in disarray. One of the biggest questions about the new reality is what it says about us and our ability to adapt to a situation none of us have ever known. In some ways has brought out the best in people a shared trauma eased slightly by Community Spirits on every european balcony. People try to find the positives like cleaner air cleaner water everyone knows a day will come when the police wont find people for being outside and theyll be a vaccine people in europe and beyond will tell their children about what it was like to live through the virus the problem is what happens between now and then. Barnsley aljazeera in london. Apple and google have announced theyre working together to develop technology that will alert people when they think close to anyone infected with the virus the idea is to help governments roll out apps to run on. Both Android Devices and i phones lets hear bryan reports. For many of Us Technology is a major part of staying in touch during lock down from online workouts to church services. And birthday parties. Its helping bring our communities together but technology also has the potential to alert people when theyve been close to anyone and fictive with the virus. Google is teaming up with apple to develop apps to do just that its a way collaboration between the American Companies whose operating systems power 9009 percent of the worlds smartphones but some fear the technology could also lead to more unwanted scrutiny of our private lives and personal data googles Business Model is to track people googles a surveillance capitalist google makes its billions by tracking every move you make on and off the web apple and google say pretty say transparency and consent at most importance in a safe it and they will openly publish information about their work for others to analyze governments worldwide are working out how to take knowledge we can help us to identify sick people and stop the spread of the virus some countries including poland israel and singapore already use peoples handsets to monitor their quarantine or send coronavirus alerts. South korea is joining hong kong and using electronic wristbands with some uses asked to send a photo of their home to prove theyre in self isolation thats aimed at getting the lockdowns and border restrictions lifted as soon as possible its very new new technology its very interesting but a lot of people worry about it in terms of a persons freedom were going to take a look at that a very strong look at it well let you know pretty said occurring in china where the outbreak began last year. Dictate where the people can leave the house and where they can go Digital Rights activists say such apps need to be designed so they cant be misused so today were not china we never make you you know make you use this but what happens tomorrow when its on every i was device and every Android Device and we start using will walk down and we say to people you want to go back to work you can but heres the caviar you have to turn it on you have to opt into it you know but you get your choice you dont have to go to work but if you want to go to work you got to. Scientists admit technology alone wont be enough to eradicate the virus instead it will need peoples commitment in real life brian al jazeera. Singapore is the latest and a growing list of countries and companies to ban the Video Conferencing platform xoom teachers there are banned from using the out for remote lessons because of what the government describes says very serious incidents local media say this includes men showing obscene images to teenage girls during a zoom lesson the company says its committed to ensuring a safe and secure platform it may have been one month since the w. H. O. Declared the crime a Virus Outbreak a Global Pandemic but africa felt the effects later that other continents but how many Health Experts are concerned it will actually end up being the hardest hit reports from kenyas capital nairobi. Eating grilled meat in pubs is part of daily life in kenyas capital nairobi. Selling it hes big business. Ground to a hold when the government ordered restaurants closed to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Grills on the strip of closed workers have been laid off. Or is not will we must adhere to the measures but. For even tick away we have to turn to for help. The group me traders here are among millions across africa who already lost their livelihoods because of restrictions on movement and trade. Shoppers in kenya supermarkets have to keep distance and sanitize their hands but shops like this are the main of the middle class which in most african countries hes tiny crowded markets like this are more normal simply isnt space for people to keep distance here it will be impossible to enforce it the people that trade in places like this and people that buy them here they dont come here in the daytime they go hungry in the evening and its the same story for millions of people in cities across the continent that. The government of the democratic republic of congo has locked down the central commercial district of its capital kinshasa. To most of the rest of the city of about 12000000 people are still out and about trying to trade if they dont go out to find work and means of livelihood so that becomes a significant constraint to the containment measures the governor said its treating all square and in the absence of social protection youre going to see people tell me what. South africas army has been accused of rights abuses in trying to stop any our people when it in force to lock down the country is recorded more cases of the virus than anywhere else on the continent possibly because it carried out many more tests its lockdown seems to have succeeded in slowing the rate of infections in much of the rest of the continent hospitals and Health Ministries have recorded relatively low but sharply rising numbers so far. With many living in cramped conditions like the slum in nairobi Health Experts think the worst is yet to come if these interventions i dont testing i dont isolation i dont have jim practices at all staying at school but also taking care of the social needs. Im not going to be told out. A steep price and which we bring in a lot of goods. As long as markets have busy like this one in nairobi it will help the virus spread empty markets mean hunger and social unrest african governments faced difficult decisions in the weeks ahead millions of people will face the consequences malcolm webb aljazeera Nairobi Kenya measures to stop the virus spreading in colombia maine migrants there have found themselves unable to work or face with a tough choice stay and try to survive on nothing or go back to venezuela which is still embroiled in crisis. Reports i. Thought carrying all their worldly possessions the highway out of quarantine has become dotted with hundreds of homeless Hungry Venezuelans attempting to walk back to their battered country. And their family worked as Street Vendors but with the lock down they ran out of money and ended on the streets and there was no one left to sell to how were we supposed to survive that. The police even perhaps it us from being outside we live hand to mouth day by day we pay the daily rent how can we eat. In recent years more than 4000000 been a square other south american countries escaping the economic collapse in venezuela time and managed to earn a meager but decent living thanks to reese who worked in a car wash leaving was an agonizing decision. Theres nothing left to do here we lost our jobs and we cant count on getting help from the government until 2 weeks ago when the lockdown started migrants difficulty of access to some form of assistance but since then shelters Migrant Centers and soup kitchens all. Closed leaving them with no help at all. The government has increased the number of cash transfers to some struggling families but its not enough. Mayor said that at least for now the temporary shelters being built in the city were exclusively for vulnerable colombians i force of catholic relief organizations are closed with no official date for reopening so either well throw says the fear of contagion excessive number of people in need to let them in with no other option. We dont have the resources nor the space to deal with this precious. And the government passing responsibility to one another because the number of people in need is simply too high. Back on the highway stop to catch a breath and firm up their bags that estimate that will take them 15 days to get to the border. They know the situation back home will be equally tough but at least they say theyll have a roof over their heads and their family nearby to help as much as they can listen to.
