A new covert 19 infections. According to the refugee camps on the greek islands are at risk of a devastating corona Virus Outbreak. And on a mission to save lives cuban doctors traveling to corona virus infected countries reject criticism that they are being used to spread propaganda. Or to get in the u. S. Where President Donald Trump says he wants to see social distancing guidelines in place until april 30th to try to slow the spread of the grown a virus the u. S. Has now recorded more than 130000 infections thats more than any other country trump says the outbreak in the u. S. Is likely to peak in 2 weeks. Because youre talking about a potential of up to 2200000000 and some people said it could even be higher than that so youre talking about 2200000 deaths 2200000 people from this. And so if we could hold that down as were saying 2100000 its a horrible number maybe even less but 2100000 so we have between 10200000. We altogether of done a very good. In other developments england step of the chief medical officer has warned that it could be 6 months before strict social distancing measures are lifted the u. K. Government introduced tight restrictions on Movement Last week placing the country under an almost total lockdown its only as recorded a drop in the number of deaths for a 2nd day and while the infection rate in spain has declined more than 800. 00 people died over the last 24 hours bringing the total number to more than 6500 now lets go to get more on those developments in the u. S. Aljazeera is rob reynolds joins us live via skype from los angeles so the president wants to extend social distancing measures rob until april 30th what else did he say. 1st of all a dream the president s announcement was a kind of a turnaround from something that you had said just a few days ago which was that he hoped that the entire country would be back to work and the economy back to strength by april the 12th so thats out the window now the president described that as only aspirational furthermore the federal government does not actually impose the stay at all orders on residence in the United States they only offer guidelines the states are the ones that issued do and force the. Stay at home orders and keep people away from parks and Recreation Centers and the like the president also made a very unusual some might say shocking claim that shortages of masks gowns other equipment in hospitals especially in new york who are perhaps the result of pilfering by hospital staff theyve been delivering for years 10 to 20000 masks ok its a New York Hospital very its packed all the time how do you go from 10 to 20 to 300010 to 20000 masks 2300000 even though this is different somethings going on and you want to look into it as reporters where the masculine are they going out the back door it was another of those long rambling press briefings rob early and the day the president s been tweeting that the t. V. Ratings for his press conferences his press briefings were better than for the bacha what is the American Public make of the way the president is handling all of this. It is. Predictably on a partisan line its a lot of democrats people who have never really liked the president or. Deploring his views tweets see that is evidence of. Pride in the fact that he gets great ratings for is daily shows and briefings as a sign that he studies and seem to quite grasp that the coronavirus epidemic is not actually about him others is d our poor base and republicans think hes doing a pretty good job hes actually gotten the bump in. Is Approval Ratings according to polls so predictably in a country the s. Politically polarized as the United States people cant even agree about coronavirus in scientific facts in fact some places in the red states that are largely Republican People are pretty much rejecting the idea that social distancing its a good idea he was there as rob reynolds for 45 that from home in los angeles many thanks indeed rob james warren is executive editor of news god which rates the trust with an s. Of these websites he believes that donald trump has been playing to his Political Base during this outbreak rather than trying to generate unity. The insatiable personal need praise the propensity to blame others a certain lack of human empathy the tendency to totally rewrite history the occasionally ludicrous charge is the insinuation here that doctors in new york might somehow be stealing some of these things there is throughout also jess clane unadulterated early about his performance and even though interestingly enough the Approval Ratings are a bit up and then they have a lot to do with theres a sensually hugging media spotlight. Divisions that hes selling continue his tonight that must spend 456 minutes going after the media per usual going after c. N. N. As fake news and when it comes down to not only a question of whats leadership somewhere in the mix were ever you are going of the sphere leadership there has to be an element of trying to generate unity rather than so division and trump continues to appeal to his base and one of the cards he continually plays even amid the pandemic is this group too it is passion of the press. As the outbreak continues to grow across europe leaders and Health Officials are warning their citizens that anti virus measures could stay in place for months the u. K. Stephany chief medical officer says that social distancing rules will be reviewed after 3 weeks but it may be more than 6 months before life can result in the paul brennan reports. A steady procession of hearses bring the latest virus victims to the temporary morgue set up in madrid largest ice rink on sunday spain recorded another daily death toll of more than 830 people such a small increase on the previous day is seen as a glimmer of hope that the situation remains critical. It is very likely that the outbreak is evolving properly thanks to everyones efforts having nearly 20 percent of our cases recovering the statistic but it is true that the number of people going into intensive care units is doing creasing and there are many regions operating at Maximum Capacity and many other regions quickly getting closer to this limit. On a mass. The u. K. Has recorded its 2nd successive day of more than 200 new deaths and the government has put the entire country on emergency footing unprecedented in peace time asked about the timescale for the current restrictions the answer came a could be many months so i think 3 weeks for review 2 or 3 months to see whether weve really squashed it and that about 3 to 6 months ideally and lots of uncertainty in that then to see which point we can actually get back to normal and it is plausible that it could go further than. Theres been criticism in controversy over the limited scale of the u. K. s testing regime but there is evidence the capacity is slowly increasing this drive through test center in the car park or an Animal Adventure park at chessington has opened specifically for National Health Service Workers the Royal College of nursing britains largest Nursing Union estimates that up to 20 percent of the u. K. S Health Care workforce is currently at home self isolating these Testing Centers will bring certainty allowing potentially hundreds of nurses to return to the front line of nursing at a time when the Health Care System needs the most. In france overwhelming pressure on congested hospitals in some regions has made it necessary to transfer patients to other areas these patients are being taken by train from the ground best region to new aquitaine and some french patients are being transferred to germany for treatment by combination of German Military plane and French Military helicopter. Would have been on here and it would need to free up some space when you free up a space it gives you room for a new patient and that saves a life so there wont be a gridlock on hospital resources for those of us but. Across europe coronavirus restrictions have left the streets almost empty but the grim prediction is that it will get worse before it gets any better. Aljazeera. Chinas government is growing increasingly concerned about infections coming from abroad last week the mainland closed its borders to all foreigners except those coming from hong kong and macau a circle reported several other countries across asia taking similar steps. Beach is normally heaving with tourists at this time of year empty implicate the seaside city has hundreds of resorts bars and restaurants its now been labeled a coronavirus hotspot after reporting a rise in infections this week with the government blaming tourists and locals for not keeping their distance the city apartheid south of bangkok is traditionally a tourist haven it too has been deprived of visitors with businesses and restaurants forced to close after the government declared a state of emergency this is the worst that ever hit party yeah.

Welcome back its one weather system after another sweeping across parts of japan at the moment but one which is clearing the way as a result in some snow places and tokyo seeing a little bit of snow there too in the course of the day we know like the a c. Another system affecting more southern parts of japan i think for tokyo should be dry for much today on monday but you see this law and reciprocation coming out of southern parts of china across far north of taiwan and into the southern areas to move through into tuesday that continues voting for tokyo it should remain largely dry and fine and the further north northern honshu into her fine weather conditions are expected should be looking good across the Korean Peninsula 18 degrees in seoul as a maximum but we can trace that weather front back to northern parts of vietnam so theres a chance the old shower here huh noid too could see the old downpour back some of 27 degrees into southeastern parts of asia were seeing a slight decrease in shower right city at the moment western parts of java still i see some heavy showers and that certainly goes for jakarta that could be some flooding here but kuala lumpur and singapore generally looking fine across into south asia for much of india and bangladesh where the conditions are looking good but things are looking more disturbed further towards the west were seeing rain. Spreading out of afghanistan into western parts of pakistan that will continue on tuesday. But. The christian priest you are a friend of the palestinians is a true effect of everybody and champion of the palestinian cause. An activist who is willing to sacrifice his freedom. The for his beliefs. Aljazeera world tells the extraordinary story of the archbishop and the piano. More. Well again this is not a 0 the 2nd mother to remind you of the main news this hour u. S. President donald trump says that he wants to extend social distancing guidelines from month to try to slow the spread of the coronavirus the u. S. Has recorded at least 137000 infections governments top Infectious Disease experts as well but deaths that could reach 200000. Italy has recorded the drop in the number of deaths for a 2nd day the infection rates in spain has declined more than 800 people died there in the last 24 hours bringing the total number to more than 6500. And the u. K. Stampede chief medical officer says it may be 6 months before life returns to normal the u. K. Government introduced tight restrictions on Movement Last week been more than 1200 deaths that. Australia has to offer this coronavirus containment rules will now be a battle of gatherings of more than 2 people in public but theres been cautious optimism but the Prime Minister saying that the rate of infections seems to be slowing the country has 4164 confirmed cases lets go live now to sydney to see this nicola gage is that tell us more about these measures and how the public are responding to the because. Well a strong leader is in norway at this stage of a Lockdown People all still going to work and some flights are continuing but weve seen crazing by the day life is absolutely changing here in the message from the government is Crystal Clear its that people should be staying at home unless its absolutely necessary that they should be leaving so it says that if you cant work from home the only reason that you should be leaving your house is to go to work to exercise outside or to go to the shops or to a medical point. And if you jury late if they have now banned public gatherings from 10 people now you can only have 2 people in an outside areas at any one time it will be state governments that will be enforcing these measures it will be New South Wales and victoria leading the way because they have the highest rates of infection the military was brought here not only for the wait cans to monitor those people travelling in from overseas who would be in foreign tade full 14 days in hotels or different government facilities but the prominent star in the government have been somewhat positive over the policy 24 to 48 hours so im seeing the fact that the infection right in a straw has actually been slowing and they say that some of these restrictions has definitely helped with those speeches at the moment just over 4000 destro leons are infected with corona virus and as of monday morning 17 people had died in a stroke from cardiff at 9 tain so the question now will be whether its charlie inside actually do follow the rules and stay at home to make sure that this infection right does continue to slowly and what the government decides to do next will be dependent on not infection rice now this is nicola gage reporting live from sydney nicholas many thanks dude Doctors Without Borders has warned the refugees on the great content of less force or at serious risk from the corona virus and need to be moved immediately jumps around plus reports now on how the camp is ill equipped to tackle the pandemic. Like thousands of other Asylum Seekers this resident of moriah camp is lighting a fire to warm himself and cook lunch and like thousands of others hes using a piece of plastic to start it fires are the only source of heat in winter 8 groups say they cause serious respiratory problems and the burning of plastic makes them even more dangerous one of the asthmatic patients the father explained to me that one night he came back home they were heating the tent with the hold coals inside and when he arrived back none of his family members. Were it was unable to wake them. And yet to drop them outside they slowly recovered so most probably this was like a Carbon Monoxide poisoning its easy to burn rubbish because it isnt being collected a local contractor is paid to pick it up inside the official camp and to a radius of 10 meters outside the camp fence but within that space we found this ravine filled with it greeces Reception Service is responsible for awarding sanitation contracts a former director says governments dont properly oversee contractors. A great public worker whos moved from the mainland works for 475 euros and sleeps in the same conditions as a refugee stands in stark contrast to an ingenious sanitation worker in athens who earns 1500 euros a month this inequality explains why the final result and sanitation isnt what with light. Raw sewage also seeps into this ravine where Children Play because at 20000 people this camp is filled to 7 times capacity and its sewage pipe overflows a pipe designed years before it was built thanks clearly the delay in building the sewage pipe was to extend the use of the sewage trucks which cost huge amounts in my view over 4000000 euros in moria and the other islands that money could have been spent on Sewage Treatment plants they didnt happen why not because they were interests against it ive seen this to the list prosecutor the government says it will take 10000 Asylum Seekers off the islands and ship them to the mainland in the coming weeks another 5000. 00 will be offered a generous financial incentive to go home and the European Union says it will take at least 1600. 00 unaccompanied minors off greeces hands reducing the numbers might be a short Term Solution but it does not address the deeper problem of mismanagement or relieve greek taxpayers of the bills the European Union may refuse to pay as a result jobs are open loss aljazeera less force. Says it has 5 new corona virus infections bringing its number of known cases now to 8 medical equipment that was recently rushed into the water own country is being distributed by libyas military forces fighting began last year after ward Khalifa Haftar launched an offensive to retake tripoli which is held by the un recognized government. The airline and Tourism Industries were among the 1st economic casualties of the pandemic and as countries continue to impose restrictions Many Airlines have drastically cut passenger flights weve been speaking to catherine ways group c. Baca who says that its a major setback but the industry will bounce back. So it has been difficult but. We have our passengers that are all over the place where we have to take them safely back home we have received a lot of requests from embassies and governments around the world to help the citizens to be taken back to their homes and to their loved ones and cut their way is just serving the the World Community if airports around the world start closing down and airspace are being. Blocked it is of course a natural that cut that i was completely stopped flying but for the time being we have a Skeleton Service with more than 100000 Health Professionals cuba has one of the highest doctor to patient ratios in the world the island nation is sending medical teams around the globe to help with the Coronavirus Response charge at augusta and reports. Another Early Morning another ceremony to bed Health Workers farewell last week a troop of cuban doctors were dispatched to italy. This week medical professionals have been sent throughout the caribbean to surrender grenada jamaica and today st kitts and nevis 29000 to cuban doctors and nurses are working in 59 countries around the world as confirmed cases of coronavirus increase so this demand for cuban medics medical services at the islands main export raising more than 6000000000. 00 for the states in 2018 but the communist rule dial and doesnt charge for the thousands of doctors who work in more than a dozen low Income Countries in latin america and africa. The same goes for Disaster Relief where cuban physicians have provided Emergency Assistance to millions almost a 1000 keven doctors arrived in haiti after the 2010 earthquake where they were the 1st to set up medical facilities amid the rubble. Get mad at me more than 12000 people were willing to fight a bowler and right now there are thousands of cubans willing to complete these missions while western commentators assume cuba sends doctors mainly to expand influence experts on the islands Health System draw a different conclusion the root of it in addition to cubas own Health System which provide universal coverage in over thought access is really the belief that cuba is one of a number of developing countries that is trying to make life better for its population there. From the moment were born in this country we receive an education based on humane principles of the principle of solidarity and internationalism is at the forefront of that this isnt about politics or ideology its about humanity youre making a big sacrifice why are you willing to go. Look a man is a c. Cause there are other people that need me people that is sick and dying and not isnt right people shouldnt be dying when there are people who can help them. At augustan aljazeera.

C. Good to have you with us what do you make of the guardians findings. For a life its a well known vulnerability within this network the s. S. 7 network and it has been known sense about 2008 and so the it is you know interesting in that it takes 2 to tango so the saudis are asking for the information they pass messages to the network which gives them an answer back but the u. S. Carriers are providing that answer so the saudis are asking the u. S. Carriers reply it raises issues of whether theres appropriate controls within those u. S. Networks to detect this kind of abuse especially since its known and some open Source Solutions to detect these vulnerabilities have already been found and made available publicly the u. S. Has previously and Civil Liberties protections why one of those in play here yes of course i mean we have Civil Liberties and privacy protections both within the constitution and also with in our communication was the electronic the privacy and Communications Act and the carriers are very well aware of these acts that there are some provider exceptions but they have an obligation to ensure that those exceptions are not abuse and it would violate them privacy and Civil Liberties of the users of the network as anyone fallen foul of a federal law either the carriers or saudi arabia im sorry i couldnt hear could you repeat as anyone fallen foul of federal law or here in the carriers or saudi arabia. Or out. Its interesting so sad youre a big could be conducting intelligence activities of some of their citizens here in the u. S. That is troubling if theyre conducting intelligence activities through our Communications Works and violating those kinds of normal protections that are available that is very troubling its also troubling because the regulators our Community Federal Communications Commission which regulates these networks and carriers have been alerted to this problem but they have not taken action could so jibberish could take back and or the f.
