Secretary general tells a poor countries need immediate support as he launches an appeal for 2000000000. 00. The authorities in new york are trying to prevent a Public Health disaster in the biggest coronavirus hot spot in the u. S. There are now 30000 cases across new york state most of them in the city where the number of people in hospital with coated 19 rose to nearly 4000 when say its led to the construction of temporary hospitals and a morgue well president says hes working closely with leaders in new york sate and across the country were also as you know building numerous hospitals and medical centers. Throughout certain areas in new york its at the Convention Center the javits Convention Center. Were doing 4 hospitals and were doing throughout the state for medical centers theyre somewhat different i want you to know that i do everything in my power to help the city pull through this challenge and working very hard in new york its really by far our biggest problem maybe it will be maybe it wont be but theres a lot of good capable people working on it with us. Have been debating a 2 trillion dollar package to help fight the virus the funds are aimed at keeping the worlds biggest economy afloat and helping frontline medical weapons. New york has 10 times more cases than any other state in the country Governor Andrew Cuomo says dealing with the pandemic has already proven expensive and is appealing for a big account of the proposed immunise package response to this virus has probably already cost us 1000000000. 00 it will probably cost us several 1000000000. 00 when were done new york city only gets 1300000000. 00 from this package that is a drop in the bucket as to need i spoke to our house delegation congressional delegation this morning i said to them just doesnt do it. I will get live to our correspondent mike hanna now in washington a mica the senate is still hammering away at this stimulus package what are they what is the issue thats holding it up. Well essentially what the issue has been through the course of the day following overnight off to missouri is a group of republican senators have objected to what they say is a mistake in the drafting of the bill claiming that the unemployment figures for paying for unemployment would mean that an unemployed worker would get more than somebody who is employed but this appears now within the last hour or so to have been hammered out what is going to happen now is that these senators are going to be allowed to vote on the amendment removing this particular clause of the bill that vote is going to be defeated and then the vote on the bull proper will go ahead probably in the next few hours so the bill is likely to pass overnight in coming hours but that is just the beginning and then goes to the house of representatives now up until this point this is a bipartisan action both republican and Democratic Senators have been supporting this particular bill but in the house you heard the governor of new york saying hes been speaking to members of the house of representatives saying that he wants them to argue for an amendment giving more funds to new york city so going to the house what was going to be a straightforward debate is not likely to be so anymore the House Speaker acknowledging that where before it could have been passed simply by a unanimous vote this may not be the case anymore so certainly there may be some trials and tribulations before this package goes to the president for signature or i because the alarm bells ringing and indeed spreading over the situation in new york with so many additional cases now results is must be stretched beyond belief. Indeed yes and new york has for weeks now been pleading for more supplies from Central Government is be impeding for more assistance its been pleading for more funds now the trumpet administration has been arguing with regard to new york state new york city and indeed other states that have been hard hit in the United States that the response to the virus must start at state level at the county level mayors and governors must lead the fight against a virus the federal government says President Trump is there to help to back up well new york state in particular has been saying actually no federal government should be leading this fight against the spread of the virus it should be providing us with the supplies that we need to do so and most importantly it should be providing us with the supplies that will enable to treat those infected new york citys hospitals are already at full capacity they need tens of thousands of more beds they need tens of thousands of more ventilators theyve been asking Central Government to provide some of these items its as date what has been supplied is far too little according to the politicians in new york state so the situation dire indeed and both governor of new york and the mayor of new york city see this as a failure of Central Government in terms of responding to the crisis from the beginning and as it continues its massive spread in new york sent city which is now the most infected city in within the United States and one of the epicenters of the pandemic globally mike hanna live in washington thanks very much indeed well from the United States its go back to your now because doctors in spain say they are struggling to cope with the rising number of infections many say theyre overworked and under protective but the country facing a severe shortage of medical supplies along with this ill a the number of deaths in spain is now exceeded the total in china who brennan reports. Its a very a chore hospital in madrid coronavirus patients now occupy almost every available space. There are beds for 80 patients at this unit as many as 280 people at a time of being treated here and that means chairs trolleys and even floors will have to do is putting unsustainable pressure on spains medical staff 14 percent of whom have themselves become infected. You are afraid for yourself and you are afraid of bringing the virus home because of your family to hear the most that is the most we are emotionally overwhelmed because we are spending more time at work and working doubly hard because the patients are scattered throughout the hospital. Spain has now joined its early and surpassing chinas death toll from corona virus and the upward curve of the infection shows no sign of slowing even low sensitivity toward the italian Prime Minister is hopeful that stringent restrictions are helping to flatten the upward trajectory of the death toll but in the face of stubborn pockets of noncompliance anyone called leaving their home without good reason now faces an increased financial penalty as much as 3200 dollars. Care homes for the elderly have become the latest battlefront in the war with the virus all of spains 5500 homes are in quarantine some residents are left to die in their own beds in france at a single care home near vote 21 elderly residents became fatalities but it too will devour the city and some people at 1st we thought it was just a simple flu in looked like everything with the thing before but after just 3 days of confinement we realized it wasnt at all the same as usual govinda usually in 3 days we can find and the number of cases decreases reputably that was not the case here it was the opposite after a week it was still rising. According to an internal e. U. Document seen by the reuters.

Well this is exactly an appeal for that it is a humanitarian appeal for those countries in conflict for those fragile states for refugee camps its always placement camps that have that emetic humanitarian needs that need to go on being met but on top of that the surete of coffee at 19 and you need to do everything to prevent the disease to come to those areas to the extent possible and at the same time in those areas you have people sometimes in slums of big cities or in camps in which its very difficult to have isolation there is no water in the households and sometimes no soap else care facilities are extremely rugged mentary so we need to boost to the response capacity in those areas thats why we have asked and we mobilized all u. N. Agencies that have trust with president movement large number of n. G. O. S we mobilized all to Work Together and with those funds with those 2000000000. 00 to make sure that we are able to. Every strong push for prevention involves vulnerable areas and at the same time to bring the equipment to that is required the ventilator staffs suits are for the the staff to allow for contact with people packed it youve called for a global ceasefire are in conflict zones but let me give you a couple of examples in recent weeks things have been going in the opposite direction in some of those conflicts let me ask you how worried you are about the increase in hostilities in yemen well i am even if one of the most important movements in yemen has declared that they would accept this ceasefire or that the appeal of ceasefire and we have other arms movements in other parts of the world saying that they would be ready to abide by it all our special report are these and invoice everyone in the world are pushing to make sure that these it believes there is lady in the poem at the action bringing together the parties to the conflict for the ceasefire to become a reality we have he should have seen syria in yeah man in libya in very in many other parts of the world and i hope that these appeal will be heard then that people will understand that there is only one was that is necessary today its a war against the vibes you mention libya that there was already supposed to be a humanitarian poor in libya but one side has not been respecting it general half the in recent weeks seems to have intensified his campaign whats your message to him its necessary to stop and i believe that in the last few days there was a clear the cookies and i was the early days even if even the day before yesterday there was a very meaningful attack but this is the moment to stop all military action these is the moment to concentrate on fighting coffee 1000 were already seeing covert 1000 cases in garza youve been there you know its one of the most crowded places on earth how were you supposed to self isolate if youre someone living in a place like guards. Well it is extremely difficult but the same applies to the slums of big cities in different parts of the world to refugee camps it is much more difficult and that is the reason why we massively need support for those areas and we massive need to increase the capacity to respond and they all services that are so weak in those areas need to be very quickly bills that.

An independent political analysts in a former National Security adviser is joining us from bangkok thank you very much indeed. So the interesting new measures then 1st off its. A state of emergency which effectively now means the country is being run openly by the army any apprehension about that given the number of phases of military rule thailand has been through. Theres always been that apprehension re just a transition from the who run the government for the past 5 years thats a lot of jittery on that basis however with the rise of high number of covert patients like that i i think some of the element of those who oppose government somewhat understand it but they are extremely on easy from one standpoint is the ability to detain people up to 7 days and also the ultimate authority to ship out and to shut down the media this is a most going concerns over all the opposition has been criticised the leisure way how the government have handled this call that a lack of mass not enough or citizen too much import may be the type of government the current Thai Government has been a little bit too last its fair that they think they have a high ranking according to our us show that they could handle this and they have perhaps pay economic interest over the the safety and health of thai people and that these are the or as shown i mean these are accusations that are leveled at many different governments around the world actually reacting too slowly and perhaps even prioritizing the economy in economic masses and isnt about the health of people but with a population of 69000000 there are confirmed 934 cases full test say fall i mean that sounds like a reasonable set in a situation fertile and to manage all these suspects at the situation is actually western that.
