A song china is promoting as a dedication to the fight against covert 19 why the philippines says its insulting. Desperate but defiant bangladeshi workers breach lock down orders for a much needed wages and install formula one announces its plan to start the delayed 2020 season after losing it 10 races to covert 900. 00 they hope to begin it with the austrian concrete in july with us spectators. Britains Prime Minister has returned to work vying to lead from the front in the fight against corona virus Boris Johnson was diagnosed with a virus some months ago and spent 3 days in intensive care in his 1st speech since leaving hospital he says the u. K. Starting to turn the tide in tackling the outbreak johnson has pledged his government will outline plans for easing restrictions but hes warning of the risk of a 2nd wave. If this virus were a physical assailant an unexpected and invisible mugger which i can tell you propose to experience it is then this is the moment when we have begun together to wrestle it to the floor i know it is tough and i want to get this economy moving as fast as i can but i refuse to throw away all the effort and the sacrifice of the british people and to risk a 2nd major outbreak and huge loss of life and the overwhelming of the n. H. S. Well john a house joining us from outside downing street in Central London is certainly the one got the sense it was a rallying call from the Prime Minister john of what else was in saying. Well they didnt have an awful lot in the way of good news to impart he made a sort of game effort at that this i think was an opportunity to show the public that the Prime Minister is back at the helm hand on the tiller right wrestling the virus like a mugger to the ground and other such metaphors Boris Johnson loves a metaphor but really you know theres no avoiding the fact that he steps into a storm of controversy of questions of criticisms in his absence aimed at him and his governments response to this crisis of perceived delayed response as britain sees its hospital death toll soar plus 20000 personal Protection Equipment still in short supply for Health Care Workers on the front line testing nowhere near the governments target of 100000 tests a day by the end of this month but i think the most urgent questions now coming out of the lock down going into the 5th week of knockdown instructions here in the u. K. A devastating effect its all having on the economy the public showing signs of restlessness restlessness of calls coming from all quarters for a sign of how and when this might all end what is the governments plan does the government even have a plan will Boris Johnson took the opportunity at the beginning of his 1st day back at work here downing street to try and put his best foot forward emphasizing what they was of the positive to emphasize Real Progress being made the curve being flattened the n. H. S. Not being overwhelmed the beginning of turning the tide but answering those calls about when the lock down will be eased by saying hes not the time now the numbers are still too high that testing is still not high enough echoing the 5 general tests the government has set out for easing the lockdown and his message to businesses to people within his own party and to the public is contain your impatience here and join our lot of the criticism that you were talking about just a moment ago is actually directed at Boris Johnson personally as well listeners. Yes there was a lot of that going on again in his absence as this crisis evolved over the past 3 or more weeks a lot of it i am directly at Boris Johnson who sort of jokey folksy style in the early weeks of the crisis back in february early march youll remember he went off and visited coronavirus patients and proudly said to the media that these shook all of their hands he was talking about the effort to acquire more ventilators calling it off for operation last guy and its emerged that he failed to chair a series of emergency Cabinet Meeting again in the early stages the socalled cobra meetings that are usually not always though chaired by the Prime Minister but its all been seen as evidence that he didnt take things seriously enough that it was perhaps contributory to the slow response and therefore the crisis that britain is in now i think for the moment he carries the publics sympathy with him they know that they potentially could have lost the Prime Minister over this but it is not clear that that sympathy will last for long john holl bring us up to date on the situation in the u. K. Live from london john a thanks very much indeed the Prime Ministers made no mention of the various criticisms all for him and his government the ones that jonah was talking about to recap medics across the country say supplies of personal protective equipment or p. P. E. Has been insufficient the target of 100000 tests per day has not been met but in actually tested fewer than 29000 people in the past day theres concern the death toll is likely to be far higher government numbers refer only to hospital deaths but they dont include deaths in the community and in care homes corona virus has now claimed more than 20700 lives in the u. K. And hospitals with more than 152000 confirmed cases my good fellow as a journalist and a political commentator and london and she believes the Prime Ministers words and tone dont really match the reality of the situation. He talked about the people looking at the u. K. And apparent success in relation to corona virus actually we have at the moment have one of the death rates in the will and 20000 more than 20000 deaths in hospital and that they get seems to be much high if you take into account deaths in the community and deaths in cannes and you know these are not just figures on it and see these are human beings these are people across the country who have lost their family their loved ones and will be mourning a number of this very moment and i think its quite insulting to Boris Johnsons take his turn to not mention p. T. E. Shortages do not mention the crisis not ship social classes and do not even engage with leavening be any failure in these criticisms of government and i do also say is he used the analogy of the virus being Something Like and if theres a cool as a and he talked about being as invisible an unexpected mother and as well as we just liking this kind of natural language unplanned helpful its also inaccurate useful not unexpected in so far as the u. K. Had a bigger lead time than many other countries in the world more time to pass through this and it seems that government has not done that has not followed w. H. O. Advice in terms of testing trades and not isolating and you know for a lot of Public Workers front line workers whether that weve been supermarket and it just that camera has people working in hospitals it is upsetting i think to hear the Prime Minister talk like this as if their experience in their day to day isnt happening at all and i would say that its only a few weeks ago that adult choudhry and it just doctor was desperately pleading with p. P. P. And died from coronavirus there was a big disconnect between how the Prime Minister was talking and whats actually happening and i think government needs to engage with these criticisms not just the criticism sake that to learn from it into respond to those cases. Well italy is preparing to emerge from the longest coronavirus lockdown in the west from next week people will be allowed to visit relatives and some businesses will reopen its in the 2nd highest number of deaths in the world after the us but on sunday the daily toll fell to its lowest level in more than a month however Prime Minister contis says people will still need to wear masks and observe social distancing we have got to imagine but theyre committed to a legal so for me for the wholesale sector will restart but it is obvious that well need a market and therefore from 18 we expect to reopen the Retail Sector from then we are also planning to reopen museums exit visions and libraries and sport teams can resume training we also hope that june 1st will be the date for the reopening of bars restaurants beauty salons and hairdressers basically all personal care activities francesco jam pantone has more from milan and how reopening the plan will work. Prime minister to the peckham to now last night how the country will and now and phase 2 of the pandemic italy will try to restart the economy without pushing the curse of the infections up again factories and Building Sites anything they were reopened from may 4th does this was the biggest announcement people will be allowed to leave their houses to go to work and also to visit their family social gatherings or anyway still bend and its not possible to move from region to region sporting activities could be now practiced also far from home but people need to do to do it on their own and have to keep the distance from each other parks will reopen but it wont be possible to meet their shops museums and libraries can reopen from may 18th so if the new wave of cases will be allowed will be avoided other businesses will follow restaurants bars and headdresses will open from june 1st contests said that the reopening is allowed on condition that all Companies Involved strict the respect new security protocols in the workplace wearing protective masks become mandatory in no enclosed spaces anyway schools will remain shots until september and this will give families childcare problems for many months to come so when it comes to frank or is a journalist based in rome and she says people are eager for the lockdown to be lifted sooner than the government intends. Many italians werent exactly happy with what the Prime Minister had to say to them yesterday they felt many of them that more restrictions could be lifted and in fact they just see it as a very very long process and the. Prime minister made it very clear that this was going to be a gradual reopening and this is extremely gradual because even the head dressers will not be open before june 1st and schools will not be opened or reopened until september many parents wondering what theyre going to do with all their children at home while they have to start going back to work people here are suffering financially they are suffering and they really do need to get back to work and it seems that every time it becomes a lengthy approved says they were expecting that this lockdown that was meant to end completely by the main tools was going to be sell and in fact. It appears that now a lot of retailers will be opening until may 18th and certain other businesses cant open until as i said june 1st. Germany has come about in the spread of coronavirus by making the wearing of mosques compulsory while on public transport theyve been made available for free and cities nationwide for the past week germany has the 4th highest number of confirmed cases in europe fewer than 6000 people have died which is far lower than neighboring countries dominic cain is im ballin he says the wedding of mosques differs according to state. The mosque order is in place across germany in all the states the 16 states that make up the federal republic but the enforcement of it differs from state to state so in berlin from where im both posting right now the order relates purely to public transport so if you use buses like the bus station im standing outside now or trains or the metros then you have to wear the mask but the moment you step off public transport you can remove the mosque so if you want to go to one of the shops that have reopened in the course of the last few days you dont need to wear the mask elsewhere in germany you do need to wear the mosque the point here is that the Decision Making by the relevant state governments and by the federal government is informed by the science by the numbers being tabulated by grab a Coffee Institute which has authority in this area and right now it is thought that something around 2 and a half 1000 people are in intensive care perhaps 75 percent of them are on ventilators but equally fewer than 6000. 00 people have died from corona virus in germany despite the fact that it has amongst the highest number of infections in europe and one other key statistic which is informing government decisions is getting up to around 3 quarters of all the confirmed cases of coronavirus have now resulted in the patients concerned recovering which explains why you see the mask order in place but loosening of restrictions and from from state to state but to more head on the news hour including authorizing that lethal force well tell you where gangs are being put on notice after almost 6 murders in just 2 days. Spring planting has begun in the u. S. State of california but is it safe down there pulling no punches in one Central American country as boxing continues despite the Global Pandemic. A song released by china to highlight its partnership with the philippines against the covered 19 outbreak is being criticized as propaganda its been disliked more than 100000 times on you tube many filipinos say the lyrics are a thinly veiled attempt by beijing to reassert its claims over the disputed South China Sea and all the reports from manila. The video is on you tube and the song is called east and that which in the filipino language means one scene the song was written by chinas ambassador in manila. The video is supposedly dedicated to those to contributed to the 1000 fight in the philippines and china but its causing outreach here mostly from filipinos who say the message is subliminal and insulting. Calling this one c. B. C. Is this graceful because china could use to encroach philippine territory in the South China Sea but james they say. That you know it goes well. So what there is. Because when. He was released just a day before the Philippine Government launched 2 diplomatic complaints against China Chinese Navy mounted a radar gun at the philippines biggest naval warship in the spratleys china also declared some of the philippine territory there as belonging to hina province on the chinese mainland the Philippine Government says International Law and its sovereignty are being violated chinas leaders are facing widespread criticism for its cover up of the Coronavirus Crisis it also denies supplying defective virus test kits and so it is building up its response even going as far as highlighting what it calls as failures of other governments to respond to the virus emergency some chinese diplomats tweeted accusations that the u. S. Is responsible for the pandemic in the philippines anger against china has been growing for years chinese who operate illegal Online Gambling activities have been implicated in murder and Human Trafficking in the philippines and the ramming of a philippine fishing boat by a chinese ship and then abandoning 22 filipino fisherman infuriated many others a few months ago contributing to low Approval Rating of china cheer critics say that it will take more than just what they call a propaganda video to improve chinas image both here and abroad duggan aljazeera manila. The white house official coordinating the u. S. Response to coronavirus says social distancing may be necessary right through this summer deborah book says the country needs a huge technological breakthrough to expand testing before it can reopen the state governors remain divided with more beginning to ease restrictions or for morning this will go shortly to get a bill of his own to whos in philadelphia 1st White House Correspondent Kimberly Hall could in washington d. C. Kimberly so what states are slowly beginning to come back this week is their consent and whether or not this could lead to another outbreak. Theres concern and theres confusion youve outlined some of the problems that many are experiencing at 1. 90 percent of the United States has some sort of stay at home order right now as these states begin to lift theres public confusion over how that should take a fact what that looks like many people having to make individual decisions given the fact that some of these governors are partially reopening their states but the federal social distancing guidelines are still in place till the end of the month and as you pointed out dr Deborah Burkes one of the Top Public Health officials on the part of virus task force saying that these social distancing guidelines will be with us in the United States until at least the end of the summer but over the weekend we did see some states lifting when it comes to bowling alleys tattoo parlors hair salons georgia South Carolina oklahoma alaska those are some of the states that have those lifting zin then in colorado what were seeing today is some of the curbside retail reopening but what we really see is a push here by this white house in fact we heard over the weekend president mike pence saying that he believes much of these stay at home orders would be behind us in the United States by about the end of may or morial day but again conflicting messages given that another Public Health official dr devore burks on that very same task force saying the social distancing guidelines will be in place much longer. Kimberly were so used to seeing President Donald Trump on our televisions im tweeting of course about the situation with regard to corona virus but you know seems to be sort of the front the media suggesting he may not be attending the briefings whats the story behind. Yeah the president was visibly on social media twitter particularly very very angry at the u. S. Media have spent much of the weekend venting at the negative coverage over whats been really a Public Public relations disaster for this president the issue in the coverage of his suggestion that disinfectant and also sunlight or u. V. Rays injected or shine inside the body could potentially get rid of coronavirus or covert 19 so he lashed out as the media as his poll numbers have been sinking and thats led to some real soul searching here at the white house about messaging what were hearing is that there will be fewer briefings the president may not be present after those briefings moving forward thats the big question mark what we know is that they are realizing the president s much better at the economic message than he is the Public Health message and so we may see him popping up now more at meetings with governors with c. E. O. s essentially what theyre saying is that this is the new crisis they should be focusing on and they want the president front and center and so what does correspondent kimberly hold her Company Thanks very much indeed on new york has being at the center of the outbreak in the u. S. But the other hot spot on the east coast is philadelphia americas 6th largest city has extended its stay at home order for about 12 days give it out as on those in philadelphia for us just give us an indication what the Economic Impact of this locks on has been there. Its been absolutely devastating not only on the city of philadelphia but the entire state of pennsylvania a very large state here in the northeast of the United States a population of about 12000000 people here in pennsylvania and the Economic Impact has been absolutely extreme as it has been on many states but particularly here just within the last 5 weeks or so about 1500000 people from pennsylvania have lost their jobs that means the Unemployment Rate here in the state is an astounding 23 percent this is the scene youre getting in many states around the country but particularly in states like pennsylvania just incredible amounts of unemployment because of factory jobs manufacturing jobs restaurants tourism here all of it is just been completely shut down now its a little after 930 here in the morning in downtown philadelphia and you normally see lots of cars and traffic and people probably behind me you see of course none of that because this state still is on a stay at home shelter in place warning by the governor if you will now in terms of numbers here they are at the plateau but the governor says they are still very much in the thick of this and theyre not anywhere close yet to start to release some of these and opening up some businesses here in the state of pennsylvania there are 41000 confirmed cases over a 1500 deaths just here in philadelphia its been the hardest hit part of the state 12000 confirmed cases and about 466 deaths just here in the city of philadelphia so the governor is saying that they will have these stay at home orders in place at least through early may but it could be as long as till the end of may its important to remember. That pennsylvania borders the state of new jersey new jersey has the 2nd highest cases anywhere in the United States its really the epicenter along with new york so theyre very concerned about being so close to new jersey so close to new york that they really have to maintain their vigilance as the governor here said but clearly this is a city that has been hit very hard given his own job bringing us up to date in a situation in philadelphia good thanks very much for the u. S. Depends on millions of farm workers to maintain its food supply but cramped working and Living Conditions putting them at increasing risk of infection rob runnels reports from oxnard in california of the countrys biggest agricultural producer. Strawberries are right dinning in the fields waiting to be picked but for farm workers like maria harvest time is a season of fear but. I am afraid of getting sick because if i dont recover i will die so i would leave for children in the or finance i am obviously afraid but i have to whack maria who is undocumented and asked that her surname not be used is one of an estimated 3000000. 00 farm workers in the us all are considered essential workers like doctors nurses and Law Enforcement but unlike them they are paid low wages have fewer Legal Protections and many lack protective gear on the scene to me the bottom line the last line think about them they know about. Any form workers as a group are already among the least healthy in Society Poverty lack of access to basic medical care high rates of diabetes hypertension and lung problems from exposure to pesticides means that farm workers are at high risk of becoming extremely ill or dying if they get corona virus a corona virus flare up among farm workers could spread like wild fire extremely difficult to prevent the spread if theres a theres a major outbreak in the agriculture industry even a good one outbreak among say one careless finally the contractor can cause an outbreak among the whole industry many farm operators do allow workers to practice social distancing for example by working alternate rows of crops but the pay structure discourages stringent hygiene and many workers are being paid piece 3. 00 per box a lot of strawberries they pick 20 seconds washing your hands can feel at this stage youre waiting in line during a break and want to get back out there in the fields to pick more california and a handful of other states have laws. Laws providing Unemployment Insurance and compensation for injuries on the job to farm workers and all of the others the United States of america do not have just. Not have a chance for workers like maria working from home obviously isnt an option and even staying home while sick is an impossible luxury some in a couple some of them about im the only person in my family that is ending in income so if im me its either you work or you dont age or that i have from they are essential workers putting food on the countrys tables every day yet somehow they remain invisible and vulnerable rob reynolds aljazeera oxnard california in the next report in our series will be in the u.
