10000 People Killed spike covert 19. And were on the streets when a series for the government is bracing for an expected wave of coronavirus cases. Where the economic devastation caused by the coronavirus is becoming clearer with the u. S. Announcing a major rise in the unemployment rates a record 6600000 americans applied for Unemployment Benefits for the 1st time in the past week now thats 3000000 more than the week before 10000000 people in total in the u. S. Alone some benefits back in march there is a similar story over in spain the auctor investor calls more than 800000 redundancies last month many of them Seasonal Workers such as those in the tourism industry. 3 and a half 1000000 spaniards dont have a job and the number of british people blowing for government benefits is 10 times higher than normal almost a 1000000 brits claims universal credits in the past 2 weeks and thats to spice a stimulus package aims preventing layoffs well lets get more now from kimberly hole kids she joins us live from washington to give us the perspective from the u. S. Kimberly staggering figures there from the United States yeah staggering and i know this is just one piece of the pain thats being felt all around the world but it gives us a glimpse the suffering thats going on here in the United States which is still being realized these numbers 6600000 americans filing unemployment claims adds to the numbers that were staggering a week earlier we had 3300000 so weve got about 10000000 americans who filed these claims but keep in mind many are reporting they cant get through on the internet they cant get through on the telephone so we expect these numbers to be climbing up even higher in subsequent weeks in fact weve been hearing in the 10s of millions possibly as high as 46000000 americans lost their job overnight as a result of social distancing and the guidelines to stay at home so not only have we got these historic new unemployment 2 numbers given the fact that we had previously historically low unemployment but we dont expect a lot of these jobs to come back particularly in the hospitality sector where were told that many restaurants that close will never reopen so we have already the white house and Congress Talking about recovery even packages to include repairing americas infrastructure just to give the ready workforce a job. Meanwhile kimberly theres been some movement on the market some turn to oil price changes or just give us a sense of whats been happening invent regards. Yeah very simply what weve had is a bit of a price war and an oversupply of oil because of a dispute between russia and saudi arabia and now the us president has a relationship with both those leaders Saudi Crown Prince flatterer putin and so he tweeted and gave a lot of optimism for some of the economic instability with respect to oil markets that he may have brokered a truce between these 2 sides and just on the news of a possible resolution to this conflict we already saw the price of crude rise and also we saw a reflection in the markets especially what the u. S. President tweeted is that after conversations with both leaders that he there was an agreement to cut the oil supply to buy 10000000 or even 15000000 barrels why is this important again weve already had economic instability as a result of krona virus now weve also had it in terms of the price of oil was centrally because we have a problem here we have the supply side has been hit and the demand sides been hit it appears now that there has been a resolution as a result of the u. S. President intervening its not a done deal but hes intimated that there is hope ok well well be hearing from president later but for now kimberly hold could bring us up to date from washington thank you. But the u. K. Has pledged to carry out its 100th coronavirus transparency by the end of april this comes after several days of intense scrutiny over failures and testing the Health Secretary matt hyman coke said he was setting out a new 5 pillar strategy for him from 169 deaths have been reported in britain in the last 2 and a whole reports now from london. Britains numbers are increasing exponentially with the death toll doubling every 3 days makeshift morgues are being built like this one on an ice rink in Milton Keynes to meet those groom demands meanwhile Frontline Health care workers continue to make hurried preparations where personal Protection Equipment is in short supply as it widely is there fashioning solutions from hardware shops even resorting to seaside snorkels and schools science class goggles the government insists millions of items are in the delivery pipeline but in many places they arent arriving quickly enough i am now setting the goal of 100000. 00 tests per day by the end of this month that is the goal and i am determined that we will get that. Testing is another crucial part of the u. K. Governments response that for now is wanting this is a drive through Testing Center in an ikea car park in North West London its one of 5 across the country finally allowing Frontline Health care staff to get a test for covert 19 if theyre self isolating at home with symptoms and find out whether theyve actually got the disease and if they havent to allow them to get back to work quickly we spoke to want National HealthService Worker who just been tested she didnt want to be identified by machines when i was moved to the crisis and imaginative and. Out of that which employed only 700. 00 everybodys very ethical slavin. A lot of i think lots of energy is going to get here already were going to come dancing with critics saying its too little too late its emerged that private Research Labs who have valuable testing equipment and expertise have so far had their offers to help rebuffed by the government well i think its not a question of criticizing in order to criticize the sequester policy the government must either have a goal or say that they do not need or do not want help from the sort of decentralized university laps around the country or their policies that would be useful and im not in a position to know how those polls it is going to the girl but my feeling is thats where they need to be clear either were part of the solution or were not and here comes the sun its not all bad news the famous crossing at abbey road studios got a new lick of paint in the unusual absence of beatle fans taking selfies ready for life after coronavirus join a whole aljazeera london. Well the virus has been around precedented test for politicians around the globe Jeremy Corbyn is the Outgoing BritishLabor Party Leader and the leader of the opposition he joyce been out from london via skype because i have you with us on the news our mr carr ben i just 1st of all how would you rate the British Governments response to this crisis. Very poor and very slow they have not undertaken the testing they should have done in day 3 weeks ago the Prime Minister told me they were going to dramatically increase the amount of testing he hasnt yet got to even 10000 a day when obviously the numbers needed are huge and secondly the lack of personal protective equipment all across the National Health service and the care sector is absolutely serious a friend went to see somebody in hospital yesterday and she told me that the people coming in with patients were better equipped than the n. H. Staff and i just staff in the hospital itself we have had a government that has not done enough to get on top of this crisis and i do hope that the Health Sector is perfect when he says hes going to get 200000 tests but hes got to move very fast enough means mobilizing all resources to do that what more sources do you think the government has not been mobilizing that it sounds like you think theyve been deliberately dragging their feet what would you have done differently there are many tests the cities around the country that can be used in universities and colleges in the private Sector Companies and many others that could and should have been used and its an approach the government took the summer of they didnt think testing is very important even when the World Health Organization said the crucial thing to do was test test test because unless they do that is impossible to know the extent of coronavirus amongst the population as a whole what were doing is identifying it on the basis of peoples self analysis well theyre probably right they might not always be right but we need to know exactly how serious the problem is and it is obviously getting very serious indeed and it has been getting serious for several weeks now but what the government would say and happening saying is there isnt a Global Demand for all these testing products or the Global Demand for a quick men said its not easy to get your hands on the kit that that Everybody Needs to not accept that this. A Global Challenge which all governments are trying to vice saying that theyre doing the best they can a very challenging circumstances of course its a global problem and fully appreciate that we also have considerable manufacturing facilities in britain that could and should have been mobilized much earlier making the necessary equipment but we also had 10 years of a sterile scene meaning that our hospitals were 94 percent occupied before coronavirus came and helped us and once the work done by the n. H. S. And n. H. S. Staff has been absolutely heroic i think theres a big lesson here that you cut Public Expenditure and underfund Health Services at your peril as economies around the world are finding at the present time this grown virus crisis is exposing an awful lot of economic mistakes and been made but also exposing as your programs of often done the Terrible Health inequalities that exist around the world and actually threaten all of us because of that when you touch on that mr corbin that much has been made in recent days of the fact that this is a virus which doesnt respect borders it doesnt care where you are or where you are given the s. What do you make of the collective response to this crisis which appears to be characterized by people not its working together instead of working together. Well the characteristic of it is that the populations as a whole are alarmed governments around the world have said people must stay home and not go to work therefore the economies are all basically in great difficulty say and the package is being prepared by various governments including the British Government to support people whove lost their jobs ive often been inadequate particularly among selfemployed people and so there are huge demands and pressures that we are making as not position on the government to improve that package and support people and also get ready for. The future i hope were going to have an investment not economy not a period of retrenchment after the growth virus but i just want to say this out of the reports on the issues around the world but also in very important because if the people stuck in refugee camps in bangladesh in the middle east in north africa are not protected in some way not given the support they need then grow virus can spread very very rapidly and its impossible to practice social distancing in those kind of situations and so the call made by former british Prime Minister gordon brown through global approach to this world bank approach to this and to 7 approach this is i think a very important one so that we actually do recognize that Health Inequalities around the world are actually putting us all the risk at quite but given the struggles that we see developed countries like the u. K. And the u. S. And the digital age given that the struggles that these countries are facing where do you think the the help and support should be coming from because Countries Worldwide are showing that theyre all struggling to get on top of this crisis Countries Worldwide are showing that they need to sort out their own backyard 1st before they start at donating aid overseas so where does the solution to this crisis lie. The worlds institutions are the ones that have got to step up on this is one and obviously that contributors are the governments of the world so youre talking here the g. 20 youre talking here the International Monetary fund and world bank theyve all got to be part of this because surely the lesson is that were all risk from this virus and i think the heroism of people doing their best to try to stop the spread of coronavirus and treating people when they themselves are being put at risk because indeed in some cases dying because theyve been treating people is something that we should all obviously miles but recognize that this is a desperate battle lets make sure we win it but also lets make sure we recognize what brought it out in the 1st place ok Jeremy Corbyn the outgoing leader of the labor party thank you very much indeed for speaking to us here on aljazeera youre very welcome thank you lots more still to come on the news hour including the u. S. Navy struggles set aside time to handle the coronavirus site break aboard one of its Aircraft Carriers. Short dead.

Responded to mounting pressure for help on thursday with a proposal to borrow more than 100000000000. 00 to protect a huge jobs the commission chief said it was time for an economic Marshall Plan for europe Many Companies are now left with no income and if we do nothing they have to lay off their workers the employees. And this has as a consequence when the engine will restart when the World Economy will restart they will not have the Skilled Workforce they need to take the office so we will lose markets and this will limit our recovery in the u.

Well as made mention spain remains one of the worst hit countries on the continent not to her as a spanish journalist and joins me now from madrid by skype or marta weve had a Record Number of deaths were you are to say just bring us up to speed on the latest on the situation there. Yes 150. 00 people have died from corona virus in the last 24 hours again to day since the ground a virus are breaking in spain with more than 10000. 00 in total writing but theyre afraid to 9. 7 percent and a day weve more than 800 dont you infections 6 days now in a row reaching 110000 people infected from call it 19 but have minister has reported that today the curve is satellites saying and we are in a slower process Health Ministry is now focusing in intensive care units and trying to avoid or prevent the collapse.
