This decisions must be based 1st on foremost on protecting human hill the warns governments around the world against abandoning lockdown orders to. The number of new coronavirus cases is now nearing 2000000 worldwide but the some signs of light at the end of the tunnel china has approved 2 new experimental vaccines to be tested on humans Clinical Trials are also under way in the United States and there President Trump and his top disease expert Dr Anthony Fauci say the daily number of new infections is not growing as fast as before more than 1500 americans have died in the past 24 hours alone bringing the total number of dead there to over 23000. 00 thats the highest anywhere in the world and in europe spain has taken the 1st step in easing a nationwide lockdown hundreds of thousands of nonessential employees have been allowed to return to work italy is also easing some districts ones from tuesday but the World Health Organization says countries should be cautious about lifting restrictions and that now is the time to be vigilant and careful. The way down is march slower than the way up that means control measures must be lifted slowly and we squander all it cannot happen all at once controlled measures can only be lifted if the right Public Health measures are in place including significant capacity for Contact Tracing well lets get more on those axioms that china says its working on sarah clark joins us live from Hong Kong Sarah so what more do we know about these experimental vaccines and also news that china is locking down a town on the russian border as well. Well donald star the latest numbers coming from the National Health commission in china weve got 89 new cases and thats down from 108 the day before weve had 0 deaths coming from china on choose day but of the cases that we can report the new cases a large number of them at least 86 are coming from a province in the north east of china as is the Heilongjiang Province and this is an area that borders of russia and this particular areas now because it has become the latest back battleground for china on the ground trying to deploy more teams and resources from the south to the north to try and the number of infections that were seeing in the spike in numbers in that particular region as a result of the city that borders russia thats particularly been put into a Strict Lockdown that have in the last couple of days but weve also had strictly quarantine rules but it put it being put in place weve got the capital of harbin habits of capital all of that Heilongjiang Province theyve got to stay at home or is in various residential compounds public gatherings have been banned at trying to have as have also been stopped in parts of that particular province and all arrivals coming in from russia into china in that particular region that will have to undertake mandatory coronavirus testing and 28 day quarantine rules have been put in place so the chinese authorities are now looking at this particular area focusing on this area and the hospitals if theres a makeshift hospital but it has been built in the last couple of days and theyre now trying to deploy and focus on this particular region there is some good news coming out of china you mentioned that the approval of 2 experimental coronavirus vaccinations to enter Clinical Trials this is been announced on tuesday by the chinese controlled scene wa news agency the vaccines are being developed by a beijing based Biotech Group as well as in partnership with i will hand by some pharmaceutical group i should say china was already approved or given the green light for another Clinical Trial that was back in march its now in its 2nd phase the 1st phase looked at safety this particular 2nd phase has now got volunteers at least 500 people have signed up in the focus of this Clinical Trial is actually in will hand now there are no effective drugs clearly globally to treat. The novel crowd of us and the global race is on now to develop this and clearly china has a step ahead of some of the other countries purely because its already mapped out the genome sequence of the novel coronavirus. In Hong Kong Sara thank you to the us now and aljazeera has john hendren has more on President Trumps defense of his administrations handling of the pandemic what he plans to do next now he has got a new council that he plans to announce on tuesday which will be a number of Administration Officials and business officials who would come up with the plan for when to go back to business he hasnt given us a date but he did say in the News Conference just a short while ago that he would within the week the president talked about the change in cases plan towing mirroring some of the language were hearing from Governor Andrew Cuomo of new york and governor j. B. Pritzker of illinois who both say that there does seem to be a bending of that curve this is what the president said just a short time ago americans continue to make critical progress at a war against a virus over the weekend the number of daily new infections remained flat. Nation wide flat hospitalizations a slowing of hotspots like new York New Jersey michigan and louisiana this is clear evidence that our aggressive strategy to combat the virus is working on sunday you have anthony found the director of allergy and Infectious Diseases the point man on this pandemic for the administration who was asked if the administration had acted earlier would lives have been saved and he said yes he couldnt deny that well in his News Conference just a short while ago one of the 1st things the president did was trot out anthony who had to walk back all of those comments saying that in fact in the only 2 times he actually confronted the president were in mid march when he recommended that there be some kind of lock down in business closing and then 2 weeks later when he recommended that that be extended for another 2 weeks and he said that when he said there had been pushback back in february that that was probably a bad choice of words while new york pasta another grim milestone on monday registering more than 10000 virus related deaths but the states governor says there are signs the worst is over out of there as kristen salumi has meant. As all but essential businesses remain closed in new york or stay home there are signs that strict social distancing measures are working the governor says the state is seeing fewer hospitalizations for the coronavirus we can control the spread feel good about that the worst is over. Yeah if we continue to be smart Going Forward but even as President Trump expresses his hope to get americans back to work in may the governor warned against lifting restrictions too soon new yorks governor said hell be listening to experts in Public Health from the economy not politicians as to when it will be safe for new yorkers like me to leave home and return to work but how do so in consideration with governors from neighboring states. That includes one to reopen schools the mayor of new york city thinks they should stay closed through june but i need to do to protect kids and parents and families and educators theres not going to be a context to reopen schools with so much were going to have to deal with on the health front to get to a better place and a more stable place but the governor says ultimately that will be his decision one he has yet to make christian salumi aljazeera new york so lets take a closer look at the situation in europe now with dominic cain and. For many thousands of people across europe this is the reality of the coronavirus for many millions more it means locked down and the loss of their freedom of movement and for many weeks thats been the case in france now its president says it must stay that way a lot longer. Only got this. Hospitals a saturated everywhere in france and the French Overseas territories the system is under strain it and the epidemic is not yet under control so we must continue our efforts and continue to respect the rules the more they are respected the more lives will be saved that is why the strictest lockdown must continue until monday may the 11th. But elsewhere monday meant a return to work after weeks in lockdown as here in madrid because in this and a few other sectors of the economy the toughest restrictions have been lifted and some spanish politicians say now is not the time to relax the vigilance even to this small extent and in most other regards the existing lockdown will remain in place for much of the next 2 weeks in italy a small number of stationery shops book shops and Childrens Clothing stores can reopen from choose day because here the number of new infections remains considerably lower than joining the worst days last month but as in spain the mortality rate remains high a point pope francis referred to in his Easter Monday address at the vatican or g. Recorder that a convoy during this easter week i would like to remember with closeness and affection all the countries strongly affected by the corona virus some with large numbers of infected and dead in a special way italy United States pain france the list is long. And many other countries are worried to the latest figures from russia show the infection and mortality rates are on a steep upward curve maybe those who are listed. As we can see the situation is changing almost every day unfortunately its not changing for the better the number of infected people increases and there are more ther via cases as well the upcoming weeks would largely be decisive that means that all our actions including prevention measures should be optimized here in germany the abundance of intensive care and wide scale testing have helped to keep the mortality rate much lower than in much of the rest of europe which explains why some politicians now want to relax the restrictions shere so as to reduce the economic damage as much as possible because some projections suggest that in this quarter alone the economy may shrink while most 10 percent if the lockdowns are to we should get the 1st news of it on wednesday my angle america will discuss the problem with the prime ministers of the 16 german States Dominic kane aljazeera berlin. Time for a short break here now just iraq when we come back concerns about a 2nd wave of infections in parts of asia with cases reported among recovered patients. Destroyed forests and brazils amazon a right not seen in more than a decade or more and thats going.

A. By wednesday what we might see though on wednesday is a few more thunderstorms not so hopefully as severe but developing into the fall pushing across into florida but really the bulk of the country staying fine and dry we have got more of that sleet maybe some snow pushing down from the north it is still cold across the Central Plains but the time it is again beginning to improve although its still feeling pretty cool up into the northeast just 5 celsius the in toronto in canada 9 degrees in new york. Perception is valid to. Believe what you see but in one. We cant see everything if we rely on experiences of others and the legacies of previous generations. Testimony weve got you know very.
