Its the 2nd day of the particularly clement suddenly spring weekend at least introduce these measures were introduced on friday night at midnight but pleasurable recreation and social facilities in this country you know hope that people would respect that and stay indoors as well and it totally and on social media that the pictures there are loads of them of people crowded into the oxygen caravan park to do Outdoor Recreation spaces beaches and the like this is obviously causing real concern they may think that they are maintaining social distancing it to meet its you know in these crowded areas even though theyre outdoors that becomes impossible so you know whats a warning to promise a set with you dont even think about visiting the mother on this day the mayor of london that was upset and got a stalker and crowded into the parks and it may well be there is already legislation proposed by the government to give extra powers to the police to Public Health officials to immigration officials to allow them to actually in force these measures that some of the government would be reluctant to do that i think it may well be the coming days that there are no chose right to life for us in london thanks very much indeed ok i want to bring in john hendren whos joining us on skype from chicago to give us they run up of the situation in the United States john the mayor of new york bill de blasio has been speaking recently whats he been saying. Well there are about 23000 cases in the us but the epicenter is in new york where 8000 cases have occurred there are alone and there have been 60 deaths in new york city alone so mayor bill de blasio is sounding the alarm he says he wants federal help he says the military should be sent to hotspots like new york california and washington states saying in a news report this morning all military personnel who are medically trained should be sent to places where this crisis is deep like new york now hes concerned that the medical system will be overrun in those hot spots or there wont be enough respirators that there wont be enough beds and now the head of the centers for Disease ControlInfectious Disease unit anthony found she has said that units will be sent resources will be directed to those hot spots including new york city so Something Like 40 percent of us cases it happened in the state of new york and most of those have happened in new york city where the the mayor there and the governor throughout the governors throughout the United States in the various states have complained including here in chicago that the federal government simply isnt giving them the resources they need they dont have enough test kits they dont have all the masks and gloves they need and they are in some cases in the case of the mayor of new york he wants military sources sent there in order in part to keep people at home he says hell use the new York Police Department to enforce a shelter in place policy now in most places across the u. S. That have this shelter in place policy more than 80000000 people are affected by that in most places the rules are fairly lax but new yorks a different case youve got 7000000 People Living in that city alone and theyre all in very close proximity to another so as you heard joe. And talk about that last report there is concern about people crowding in parks and other places where theyre in close contact with each other in the new york mayor is clearly sounding the alarm and washington d. C. And other senators have been working over the weekend to try to come to some sort of a real agreement over the latest funding bill that was going to be put in place i understand also Senate LeaderMitch Mcconnell has said that a vote was going to happen on monday but theres even more pressure now isnt there to get those items as you were saying able to the field particularly given what bill de blasio has been saying. Thats right in every day counts whats happening on capitol hill right now and theres a 1. 00 trillion dollar bill and an additional 500000000. 00 in loans of essentially 2000000. 00 that congress is looking at sending out desperately needed resources for this state but theres a disagreement on where those resources should go right now as it happens the airlines are asking for 50000000000 boeing the largest exporting manufacturer in the u. S. The plane maker is asking for 60000000000. So. The issue is republicans want to send those resources to the big businesses and they want to give a little bit about 1200. 00 max to individuals and the democrats want to give more money to the individuals less to the corporations and those issues are being worked out thats why its taking so long but they hope to have a vote by monday john thanks very much indeed thats john hendren live for us in chicago all that i mean violent protests at a number of prisons across colombia as panic spreads over coronavirus prisoners a feeling an outbreak of the virus behind bars the government stopped visitors in recent days in a bid to stop the spread of the illness allison tom piazzas joining us from bogota just bring us up to date 1st of all what was happening at these prisons. Yes riots broke out in a number of reasons across the country at least 6 of the biggest male prisons in colombia. Happening and what happened it seems to have been a coordinated effort some part of in may and even mates to set up these protests the man being more Health Services in these very crowded prisons with the very bad sanitary conditions we had seen signs of. Inmates protesting in past days with some of them burning. Mattresses for example calling for d. L. Tory deeds to do more for them and this all went worse last night in these riots weve seen videos of people that were injured both in mates and guards there are reports that one guard died during these riots. However there are no official figures yet on the number of deaths on the number of people who were injured the president of colombia tweeted this during the night saying that the police and the army was sent in to assist Prison Guards to try and control the situation in the prison. Time now but were still waiting to understand what the real consequences of all these riots have been and the president said that the government here wants to also take care of the held prisoners but he will not allow any more riots or protest inside of them as weve just been hearing the situation regarding the virus is changing on a daily basis across the world how are the countries in latin america dealing with this. Look the numbers are relatively low in this region apart from brazil that has more in a 1000 cases now the rest of the countries usually have less than 200 colombia has just passed the that number 200 in 10 confirmed cases at this point yet most of the countries except for brazil and mexico still remain slow in their response mostly because they fear the economic consequences of full shutdowns the rest of the countries in one way or another are practically going on a full lockdown it has happened in argentina already here in bogota were on the 3rd day of what was supposed to be a trial of a shutdown and instead will be extended to 9 days of quarantine there were an announced by the president also International Travel is stopping in most of the countries this is the last day in colombia for foreigners to leave or colombians try trying to get back into their country also National Flights will be banned in colombia starring on tuesday and new measures are being put place practically on a daily basis the last country was a believer who announced 14 day choir and teen there and the electoral tory there also this side had to postpone the president ial elections and no new date has been announced at this point. For us in bogota thank you very much indeed. As we went to one of the Worlds Largest airlines u. A. E. Based carrier emirates has decided to suspend Passengers Services from wednesday hoffman is an aviation journalist and transport world an aviation week he says the flight suspensions that emirates are part of a global trend were likely to see more of. Well that shows us and its demonstrates again that no big airline is immune about the Current Crisis it is the biggest crisis for aviation in its history and even emirates have to follow this painful trends to cancel flights throughout the world im sure they were seated also assume a good idea with canceling more flights in your region in the middle east so its just the latest big trends bitch whats to expect that actually that emirates will also a council of the fights or even all fights as you know know the middle east and especially dubai that change the traffic flows or want to grow old globally over the last few years so in dubai it became one of the most important tops worldwide and every interruption of an hub like this frankfurt dubai of paris whatever but dubai specially creates a big impact for the Global Travel system so this is quite a big news in this challenge in days for the Division Business we have to expect this crisis vibration takes quite a long that will be done a lot of travel ban still a lot of flight restrictions and i dont expect in the next few weeks or even months that something will go back something its the normal to Many Airlines grounded domo by fleets and emirates is the latest prominent victim on this the many Smaller Airlines which getting the deep troubles but you also see we also see now more airlines request and for requesting for aid from the governments Even Stronger of towns or one of the richest islands in the world is looking for state aid from arab governments. In the u. S. The federal government is slowly implementing measures to contain the outbreak but many state leaders say its not happening fast enough and theyre introducing their own tougher rules new york and california opted for a complete lockdown leaving home for anything other than essential activities is now punishable by law in other states governors have shut down bars restaurants gyms and schools as well as buying a large public gatherings iowa nevada vermont and washington the 1st state to experience a significant outbreak of among them but some have faced criticism for resisting total lockdowns florida has refused to close its beaches texas has let local regulators take the lead and bars and restaurants are still open in a number of other states will go to marcus places is chief medical officer the association of state and territorial Health Officials now this is a Group RepresentingPublic Health agencies in old u. S. States and hes joining us on skype from Charlotte North Carolina we appreciate your time so thank you very much indeed it seems to an outsider as though theyre our peers to have been a breakdown in communication between state and federal level about who exactly is responsible for what in a situation like this was it simply the case that people didnt understand what they were supposed to do now and i think that what youre saying now is stay up with Health System in the United States start to kick into action and this is this is generally how we deal with emergency Public Health situations like this the federal government is providing a great deal of guidance to states and communicating closely but ultimately now were seeing states and local communities make the decisions based on the number of cases theyre saying how severe it cases are and in the in the areas that were having a lot more illness a lot more hospitals thats where youre starting to see a much more stringent stay out or social distancing more. Is it not the case though that there are state leaders who are criticizing the federal government for if nothing else not responding quickly enough to this and leaving the states to have to deal with it on their own. Well i think that the most part states are looking in forward direction about your theyre taking actions to get this under control we know that social distancing which is our main strategy right now we know social distancing works that weve seen it work at other countries weve used that in our country before and bessel of getting to see now that those orders are put in place for the most part i states and local communities so i think thats a very appropriate action in terms of the kind of response that the federal government is actually able to provide what would the states expect to be able to handle government to be able to give them in terms of support and do you think that those expectations have been if not on realistic then perhaps im misinformed well States States are really dependent on the federal government for logistics and supplies that i think is very very concerning alarming in the United States right now is a shortage and moving in some areas to a scarcity of personal protective equipment for Health Care Providers were talking about the face masks that. Physicians and nurses and other Health Care Providers wear to protect them and keep them from coming in contact with the virus those are in very short supply and i think theres a lot of frustration around that and states d are looking to the federal government to do something to move up the supply chain dr marcus places good to get your opinion on this thank you very much indeed so t
