S. Health Officials Say they believe that the infection are going to peak on Easter Sunday this coming sunday that was originally a date when President Trump is 81 of the u. S. To come out of this shelter in place orders and want to business to be back and moving again that is no longer happening that date seems to moved to may 1st and there are a lot of Public Health officials who are skeptical even about that date but there are places here in the United States where pastors are keeping churches open most states 43 states have locked down orders 7 of them do not but of the states that have lockdown orders Something Like 515 of them allow an exemption for Church Services so there is some fear that here on Easter Sunday there will be places where massive amounts of people will be gathering.

K. Now with Maryam Namazie in london the numbers are still very high and theyre expected to increase further in the coming days and weeks actually this is in line with expectations as the emergency starts to reach its peak you can see the daily death toll reaching the 1000 level just there abouts here in the u. K. And in fact the last few days the u. K. Already surpassed and spain recording the highest number of daily deaths now interestingly you also hearing from the director of n. H. S. England Stephen Power and he was saying that there has also been a flattening in the number of confirmed cases and also in the number of hospitalizations and that is really important so and thats not just in london but also in other parts of the country but he did say that it will take some time for us to see the effect of that in the death toll think those because of this time lag with the virus it takes time for an infected person to start to show symptoms and then those again time before they deteriorate to the point of needing to go to hospital and sadly they might die and so because of that time live you are likely to see a continued increase in the death toll in the coming days and probably this week. In the philippines mass testing has been carried out in parts of the capital for the 1st time but the scheme is yet to be rolled out nationally the countrys been under strict quarantine but of course a state could challenge that in manila Jim Allen Duggan says the country has had to rethink out to celebrate the christian holiday churches of largely remain closed thats something thats really unimaginable for the philippines easter celebrations are usually one of the biggest operate christians here but you know starting last week alms sunday there have been smaller celebrations smaller parades by priests in different parts of the country but the you know the faithful catholics are not allowed to keep quiet and in largely the are just allowed to serve in the hierarchy of the Catholic Church year as basically instructed the catholics to stay at home and watch online masses but there have been exceptions it remains to be seen what will happen to date but most likely what well be seeing basically are mostly online masses and a few other concessions its more than 13000000 people in brazil are signed up for emergency Financial Relief is locked down restrictions affect the economy governs trying to streamline the payment process as you see thousands of people lined up at tax offices this week because of bureaucratic hold ups informal workers are entitled to claim 101000 dollars a month but Health Authorities have now appealed to the public to stay at home after a large gatherings are reported in several big cities prisoners of rioted jail in southern bolivia inmates say the conditions inside the right for the spread of coronavirus prison is gathered on the roof calling for face masks and Proper Health care riot Police Used Tear Gas center try to stop the protests many believe in prisons are overcrowded and so the government is not some people on lower level charges will be released to reduce the risk of an outbreak. Well a pandemic isnt expected to peak in latin america for another 3 weeks actually but many in the region are already worried Public Health service is a severely lacking some countries are already in recession and the regions major cities have dense populations where many have no choice but to ignore the lock down measures and just go to work and out in america at an editor at the c n human reports from santiago. Bodies composing on the streets or inside houses in ecuador is tropical city of. Cemeteries and funeral parlors cant cope with the demand and the government can only offer cardboard coffins to the latest victims. Its already a catastrophe long before infections from cold 19 reach their peak theyre hit and hit him with america where they wait for them to die before helping them and when their dad they hand them over to the family this is terrible. Since march 1st the pandemic has been spreading rapidly throughout latin america and brazil the country with the most deaths so far drug lords are imposing klein teens in slums thats because the president is still refusing to take strong measures at the expense of the economy in mexico the government and the people appear dangerously nonchalant about social distancing and testing even as coronavirus cases continue rising. By contrast in argentina chile peru colombia paraguayan and most of Central America borders are closed and the army is on the streets to enforce partial or total quarantines to try to slow the curve of contagion improve for example men are allowed to leave the house to shop on alternate days and women on the other days to keep more people off the streets but wheres the notable amount i think its a good idea to be able to control the masses a little bit because of the type of contagion that were facing. But its not enough we dont have. These places as they develop. Number one in terms of the Health Systems and they and the access to medical systems. I mean i would say only 34 percent of the poorest or have access to ship protection there restore anything. Latin america faces another tremendous handicap a very high population density in its major cities coupled with widespread poverty that fans the spread of disease. But the region faces an even bigger problem maintaining a problem warranting for much longer and many of these cities will likely be and possible to enforce and for a very simple reason 58 percent of Latin Americans like means work in the Informal Sector and faced with the choice of staying at home to starve or defying a far tease they would rather come out here and take their chances with the buyers.

How low it has been particularly hot in a dusty sunday when you can have the Empty Quarter in the u. A. E. In qatar and this part of saudi arabia as well the temperatures have been as high as 14 in dubai they may well be on sunday but this is a southerly breeze is normally opposing it and i think well eventually find things cooling down in fact the cloud its visible in the satellite picture is the cold front which is showing showers in iran might show an occasional thunderstorm elsewhere but theres not really very much impetus for that to happen of course temperatures to the north of that particularly in the levant are much lower but the sun is out now and it isnt improving situation in whats been the case the last couple of days and it carries on improving on monday whereas the chances and storms are in qatar bahrain this eastern part of saudi is quite significant from monday down to 26 degrees that looks quite a wet day for the surface and the showers i showed themselves now more regularly in tanzania in kenya in ethiopia and of course all points west with that this breeze is quite notes for west just to add up and run up the coast of somalia then we start think of when the monsoon rains were right for the time being lets just think of tanzania as the wept lace and of course kenya remember orange tops and dark blue those are the big thunderstorms and they are big.

Want to focus on italy now which means the european country hardest hit by the Global Pandemic but the pressure on hospitals and intensive care ward is easing the nationwide lockdown has been extended until the beginning of may his brother sara now with a look at italys worst crisis since the 2nd world war. The coronavirus didnt start initially but the country quickly became the european face of the struggle against kovac 9. The disease started to spread in small towns in northern italy in february and by the time quarantine was imposed it was too late in the long body one of the best Health Systems in the world was quickly overwhelmed and the army had to be called in to help with the bodies exhausted doctors were fighting a new disease which claimed not just lives but social contact as americans. We are the doctors and the nurses. And us because we really knew who was with her to come home to who was very demanding but this is will be. You know who and their belief is that no. Im not saying there were. As the death rates soared italy imposed a Strict Lockdown to curb contagion and life changed beyond recognition the world looked on aghast this italy became the 1st european country to close schools nonessential shops and to tell people to stay home. Some of the most famous Tourist Attractions in the world emptied overnight and images of the pope praying alone in st Peters Square would have been unimaginable just a few minutes only was. Singing from balconies may boost morale but it does little to ease the Enormous Economic damage that such a strict and lengthy lockdown has inflicted speaking to aljazeera Prime MinisterGiuseppe Conte called for solidarity. To think that the European Union must show a swift and unified response to the replications of this pandemic we have to provide answers about politics finance and Economic Policy because its in our interest and the interest of other countries the stuff in our early concern and so it also spain and all countries the face economic and social problems e. U. Finance ministers have agreed a rescue package for Member States damaged by the coronavirus but it may still not be enough for a country that had financial problems even before the pandemic we still where there are the wave of the all recession and now these eating especially you know the small and medium size Italian Companies a day dahlia manufacture sectaries steel number 2 in europe a number 6 in the world so pretty robust but its made up over a network of Small Companies and they are going down fast there is cause for optimism infection rates suggest italy may have reached the peak of the crisis but italian still faces several more weeks of law was. The 700 children who came together from italy and europe in a fertile choir will never forget this period of their lives their singing about hope in the face of adversity in the hope that soon italy and the world will win the battle against the coral never. Was. Was sarah. Africa now which is felt the effects of corona virus a lot later than other continents but many Health Experts are concerned it will end up being hit the hardest reports from kenyas capital. Eating grilled meat in his part of daily life in kenyas capital nairobi. Telling it hes big business. Battle ground to a halt when the government ordered restaurants closed to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Grills on this strip of closed the workers have been laid off. Or is not where we must adhere to the measures but. Even tick away we have neuer to turn to for help. To me traders here are among millions across africa who already lost their livelihood because of restrictions on movement and trade. Shoppers in kenya supermarkets have to keep distance and sanitize their hands and shops like this or that the main of the middle class which in most african countries hes tiny crowded market like this the more normal simply isnt space for people to keep distance here it would be impossible to enforce it the people that trade in places like this and people that buy their food 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. But to most of the rest of the city of about 12000000 people are still out and about trying to trade. And means of livelihood so that becomes a significant cost to the containment measures the governor said its shooting 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. Practice. But also taking care of the social needs of the population im not going to be talked out clearly. Just a steep price and which will bring in a lot of debts. As long as markets are busy like this one in nairobi it will help the virus spread the 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.

Finally it has been 50 years since what nasa describes as a quote successful failure that was the apollo 13 Mission Never actually made it to the moon and the explosion on board left 3 astronauts fighting for survival but the Lessons Learned all those years ago have now inspired a new generation of astronauts mike hanna has this report.
