We continue to plead for more trusting still has not come any anywhere near the numbers that we need. To call for help from the mayor of new york after the us records more deaths than anywhere else in the world its also Global Leaders have agreed to major reductions in Oil Production as demand for its because of the pandemic. An empty church pews around the worlds coronavirus leads to an easter celebration unlike any in modern history. Everyone china has released new figures showing just over 100 corona virus infections across the country in the last 24 hours that number is actually the highest number in 6 weeks so there are some concerns about a possible 2nd outbreak well look at that in a moment but 1st the global picture more than 114000 people have died from cove in 19 there are over 1800000 infections in the u. K. Alone the death toll has now gone past 10 thousands Prime Minister barr stunts and though he is recovering from coronaviruses out of hospital after several several days in intensive care he thanked Health Care Workers for saving his life critics though say his government is letting down the front line stuff by failing to provide them with the right protective equipment the United States more confirmed cases than anywhere else in the world new york state 758 deaths on sunday and theres criticism of the white house and of donald trump for failing to do enough testing more than. 20000. 00 americans have died so far and also the Worlds Largest Oil Producers of agreed to the biggest Production Cut in history to protect the industry from the impact of the outbreak saudi arabia russia and several other Oil Producing nations made a deal to reduce production by nearly 10000000 barrels a day in the months of may and june so this is the overview but i want to start with china the figures which show as we said over 100 new infections but also lets point out none in who by province where the outbreak began sara cluck in hong kong to take us through this one feels a bit like sort of good news bad news there. It does to mother those figures weve got from Chinas National Health Commission it says 108 and as you mentioned its the highest number of daily cases that weve seen coming out of china in at least 6 weeks and thats up from the previous day which was 99 and all or nearly all the import other cases are imported cases 98 of the 108 have been brought in from overseas according to the National Health commission we also have 2 new deaths have been reported on sunday and that were coming out of the wood. Province so its a small number a small increase but were seeing this ongoing downward trend i would say in cities reopen across china weve obviously got which is the epicenter of the credit Virus Outbreak its got Domestic Travel in and out and the travel has resumed but only within the Mainland China got tight quarantine restrictions which are still in place and this is obviously what china is trying to do is to stop the 2nd wave of infections coming in thats the imported cases but we do have a number of questions globally about the calculations being released from china and the accuracy of their accounting china of course denies its concealing its numbers but last week we had a senior british minister michael gove he questioned chinas transparency about the infectiousness of the virus we also heard donald trump say that the numbers of the death toll numbers are on the light side and looking at the latest overall figures weve got coming out of china since the crime a Virus Outbreak weve only got 3403 got 3343 deaths and the overall number of infections coming out of china is 83134 and thats from the Johns Hopkins university so certainly in low numbers when you compare them to the numbers were saying overseas globally at the moment and thats where the questions about the accuracy of chinas figures are coming on so are china of course the worlds economic engine basically certainly in the manufacturing side of things what news from the business sector.
