Everywhere in france and the French Overseas territories, the system is under strain, and the epidemic is not yet under control. The more the rules are respected, the more lives will be saved. That is why the strictest lockdown must continue until monday, may 11. Fromr guest joins us skype. Yes, the french president , Emmanuel Macron, gave a speech he firsttion announced france would go into lockdown one month ago. Emmanuel macron said in his speech there was a lot of help, perhaps a light at the end of the tunnel, because in the last few days in france, admissions hospitals and intensive care reducedve redo stte slightly. However, Emmanuel Macron said we are nowhere near out of this crisis yet. Do you have a country where more than 14,000 people have died and continue to do so each day. Hasaid that is why he ordered that france remain in sokdown until may 11, another month. Thats two months in total when we get to midmay. That will of course be very difficult for many people who are perhaps living in very difficult circumstances, in small spaces, and on their own, but Emmanuel Macron has called on the nation with his rallying speech to show solidarity, to make a little bit more effort for a bit longer because, he says, without it, we risk seeing the Coronavirus Spread even further around france or possibly this socalled second wave. We could see a resurgence if we were to loosen the restrictions at this stage. He did say after may 11 that the french government could consider loosening some restrictions, government will in two weeks time start looking at drawing up what they call a plan for the future. Macron will be focusing on building the testing capacity. Yes. One of the big controversies in france is the fact that there have not been widespread testing. Lots of health experts, top doctors have said that if there was more testing in france, it could help stem the spread of the coronavirus. Emmanuel macron, in his speech, said after may 11, people showing symptoms that could be coronavirus victims could be tested and he touched on the fact that many people in france have criticized the french government for perhaps being unprepared. Emmanuel macron said, were we unprepared . Did we have enough medical resources, enough medical equipment . No, we did not. The french government was guilty and that effect, but who could have foreseen such a huge Health Emergency . Macron was at pains to say that the french government has set everything it can to try and boost the number of masks in the country, get companies to make respirators, and that sort of thing. He said we have learned a lot in this crisis. He said, yes, we have made mistakes, but going forward, we will do everything we can to try and protect the health of the nation and testing is just part of that. Thank you very much indeed. Who caught600 crew the coronavirus on a u. S. Aircraft carrier has died. A sale your from the Theodore Rose a sailor from the Theodore Roosevelt is the first to die from the diseased the captain was fired for writing to his commanders begging for help to stop the spread on board. The acting Navy Secretary resigned after he criticized the captain, calling him stupid and naive. U. S. President donald trump has retweeted a call to fire his top expert on infectious diseases. Dr. Anthony fauci appeared on tv to say more lives could have been saved if the u. S. Government had taken some measures sooner. More on this, lets cross to really in washington. Kimberly in washington. How much is found she is dr. Faucis position at risk . The latest statement coming from the Deputy White House press secretary says that, in fact, the u. S. President has no intention of firing dr. Anthony fauci. He says the Media Chatter is ridiculous. President trump is not firing dr. Fauci. He is a trusted advisor to the president. A trusted advisor to the president. But i couldnt tell you the speculation over whether or not dr. Fauci might be removed from the Coronavirus Task force has been ongoing in the past 24 hours after that tweet you mentioned where the u. S. President retweeted with the firefauci. This follows concern that if there had been social distancing measures sooner in the United States that lives may have been saved. Has beenpresident under criticism for some time about his response. What he knew when, whether or not he should have put these social distancing guidelines in sooner. And this is what the president is particularly bristling about. In fact, the president tweeting, sorry, fake news. I banned china long before people spoke up. He was talking about putting in place the china travel restrictions, but even under that policy, it is known that 14,000 people left china and came into the United States, and of course, now, the United States, as a result of perhaps lax travel restrictions, perhaps not putting in social distancing soon enough, and also the fact that theres been a lack of testing in this country, now accounts for about one third of the world coronavirus infections, so already, we know that there is an effort on capitol hill to put in place a commission to look at the federal government response. Again, the concern being that the president may have ignored intelligence and also his handling of this crisis. And that is what has left many people wondering what the president s next action will be. He likes to blame people. Rarely does he take the blame himself. We are watching very carefully for this 21 gmt briefing of the Coronavirus Task force. Will dr. Fauci be there . While the president address this . The latest coming from the white house is not the president will not fire dr. Fauci despite the fact that he retweeted on sunday with the firefauci. Kimberly, thank you very much. New yorks governor says the worst is over for his estate, which has been the epicenter of the u. S. Outbreak. More than 10,000 people have died there. But andrew cuomo says the numbers appear to be stabilizing. Governor cuomo if we continue to be smart going forward, because remember, we have the hand on that valve, if you turn that valve too fast, you will see the number jump right back, but yes, i think you can say the worst is over, because the worst here are people dying. That is the worst. The worst does not get any bad than this worst, and this worst is people dying. That is the worst. Kristin joins us from new york via skype. The figures are grim but the governor looking to plan on how to reopen after the worst is over. Thats right. He stopped short of getting rid of any social distancing measures at this point, but for the first time, we are hearing him talk about a way out and an endgame and he has shifted his focus from procuring more emergency supplies to discussing when this might end and how it might end. He had a meeting with governors of neighboring states to that verybut he says it is important for now that businesses remain closed and social distancing measures stay in place. He said that this plateauing of new hospitalizations is actually a result of these social distancing measures and that when it comes time to reopen, for business, that he is going healtho at the advice of experts, economists, and not politicians. That was his message there. So good news, we have turned a corner. It appears that we have gotten beyond this, but we do not want to move too quickly. We know that politicians are under anna normas amount of strain right now, enormous amount of pressure, on the one hand, to reduce best, but also to get the honey restarted. President trump has talked about may, wanting to get the businesses reopen an economy restarted in may. On the other hand, you have the mayor of new york saying he wants schools to remain closed until the end of the school year in june, so the governor in the middle of that is saying hold on. We have to do this in a very coordinated way. Everything has to be done one step at a time. We need to start moving in that direction but not just because if we do so too quickly, we will see a resurgence like we have seen in other countries and other parts of the world and we do not want that to happen. We need to do this slowly and in a calculated way, but it looks like we may be turning a corner and we may be able to head in that direction soon. Thank you very much indeed.

The governor of new york says the worst of the outbreak is over in his state but the top u. S. Health official says the National Peak is still to be hit this week as the number of dead tops 20,000. Fired atave been residential areas in tripoli by forces the attack comes after the internationally recognized government retook three cities from the rival administration in the past 24 hours. It appears to show fighters on the street, which were seized. Int puts the government control of a stretch of the coast from tripoli to the tunisian border. The latest from tripoli. Half the forces are not listening or responding to the International Calls for deescalation. Thousands of rockets landed in residential areas, including this area where our bureau is based. I saw three explosions today by rockets only in this area. Halfhe military say that those forces are trying to take revenge on the capital, tripoli, on residential areas, after they lost three strategic cities and the rest of libya. Takeover ina swift the strategic cities that were under control of the forces for the past three years. That is according to military experts here thanks to the Turkish Air Force supply or assistance to the government of national courts, especially drones. As you know that, by taking the three major cities in the west now under control of the government, that they are in full control of the international highway, the coastal highway that is linking the capital, tripoli, to the tunisian borders. Have been blocking that way for the past three years. Koreansthan 100 south who previously had coronavirus and again tested positive, 51 similar cases were reported last week. They have been asked to stick to strict social distancing measures. It is a worrying development. This is a phenomenon that epidemiologists at the center of Disease Control have been studying for quite a while amongst this Large Population of people here who got sick towards the end of february, beginning virus,h, who got the treated in hospital or treated at home, and so 7000 of those people have recovered, and as part of the ongoing treatments that have gradually been retested, and worryingly, there has been this trend of finding now more than 100 cases amongst this population of several thousand people who have tested positive again, so these were people who were cleared. They had tests either in hospital, clinics, Testing Centers that proved to be negative. More than 100 now have tested positive. The questions here for the experts is just what is causing this. Is this a reinfection of people coming into contact with a carrier and getting the infection again . For more worryingly, is it a reactivation that somehow, they may not have been asymptomatic, they may not have been certainly on the face debate infectious, and seemed to be carrying the virus in some dormant form, possibly deep in body tissue that somehow has managed to become reactivated. It is a worrying trend here. Does that mean there has been a problem in testing . Does it mean that there are many more questions about this virus that the experts simply do not know about it . Nigerias president has extended the lockdown for another 14 days. In the coronavirus continue to rise. How has nigerias government been handling this crisis . Basically, the government was able to trace 92 of 6000 individuals 6000 in contact with infected people. It started in nigeria weeks ago. It has built capacity such that cannot beindividuals tested, but there is still more to be done. We are talking about a country of more than 200 million people. In the government also said it has doubled its capacity for isolation, treatment, as well as the hospitalization of individuals who have come with come down with the coronavirus or symptoms. The government is extending the two weeks lockdown imposed on the capital. These two states or territories account for more than 70 of the infections in nigeria simply because the government said a lot needs to be done to deal with the pandemic. The president said over the last two weeks, the number of infections have doubled. Nigeria has around 323 cases with 10 fatalities in the country. It is wrapping up these efforts to test as many as it can. However, the idea behind extending this lockdown may not go down with many nigerians who complained that so far, in the last two weeks, they have not had the support the government promised them. It distributed millions of dollars in aid of people who cannot take care of themselves. This is a country where the majority of the people live with less than one dollar or two dollars today and the poverty rate has been increasing. For the country as well, you are talking about a country that has lost billions of dollars over the past one month simply because of the demand for oil has fallen in the International Market and also the price. It will be interesting to see how the Nigerian Government will deal with shortfalls and revenues such that it can continue providing services. The government is proposing a cap of nearly 40 of its 2020 budget simply because the prices of oil have come down. Thank you very much indeed. Turkeys president says another 48 hour lockdown will be imposed this coming weekend as the country struggles to contain the coronavirus. The first weekend curfew came into force in all major cities on friday night. A lastminute announcement of the restrictions sparked widespread panic buying with thousands of people flooding shops, many without mandatory face masks. The government is putting measures in place to show there is no repeat of the chaos. Turkey wants the economy to be functioning. This is why president erdogan the economic will should be whirling. The government encourages staying at home, encourages companies with home office working, gives money for unpaid leave, gives some extra money for the company who need to pay for their employees. They are not very huge numbers, but at least something. The main idea is here to keep the factories working, not to cut the majestic lines as turkey is a transitional country for International Logistics as well. Which hasally for 50 million population. It is difficult to keep people inside homes because there is a huge number of a young population inside istanbul and the weather is Getting Better and better every day. That is why the lockdowns only cover the citieskdown was for across turkey. Million citizens among 80 million across the country. They will continue imposing weekend lockdowns. Will be no weekly lockdown and terribly at least remap in turkey at least for now. It has been forced to cut rations for more than one million refugees in uganda after failing to secure official funding. We have more on how critical the food aid is for the affected refugees. The food program has been calling for donations to have them feed refugees in uganda since the end of last year but donations have not been forthcoming. While it is normal for the World Food Program to not receive as much money as it requests, in this case, the shortfall is critical. That is why they are cutting rations by about one third, so that will make a hard the lines even more difficult for those 1. 2 million refugees in uganda. These camps are not good places to live even at the best of times. In northern uganda, hundreds of thousands of people who fled the conflict in south sudan are living there in a landscape that is drive for much of the time. The farms the land is not suitable for farming. It makes it difficult for people to produce their own food so they depend on the food from the World Food Program, which is now going to be cut.
