There live for us from madrid thank you but its go back now to sunday gaggle i believe we have reconnected it is sonia bring us up to speed in terms of the numbers from the u. K. It appears its been a pretty big set in terms of the number of people who have dies. Thats right kim now the confirmed dead in the last 24 hour period was has now gone up to 703. 00 thats a 20 percent rise from the last number that was called there and that brings the total number of dead in the u. K. Up to 4313 now this is something that was anticipated to get more you know heavy death toll because of the way that the infection has been proceeding and already there have been preparations in place where youve had the Field Hospitals already starting to open up in the u. K. Just to take in the surge of patients who fall ill with covert 19 now where the there seems to be some kind of strain on hospitals particularly in london where were seeing heart of the cases of corona virus. Already sort of being transmitted here as well despite this also it is proving to be quite an urgent matter to remind people here that they need to stay at home given the circumstances and the risk of there being a very high death toll comparable to that of italy or even the United States but really what is fundamental here is the fact that the government is still continuing to urge people to maintain social distancing the problem is that this weekend the weather has has come out and in full sort of Spring Forces that were a lot of people going to be tempted to go out this weekend as well the government on its own twitter account has given a very stark message dont meet up with your friends hanging out in parks could kill thats the message that was also wonderland by the Prime Minister who is himself infected and having fever with covert 1000 urging people to stay at home as the numbers. Continue to climb because is that lockdown for tea is starting to see around the world isnt it sonia tell us though about the u. K. s preparedness you mentioned temporary hospitals opening up how prepared is the u. K. For this. When it came pretty late to the game compared to other countries in europe and if this is been a source of of criticism for the government who went into preparations really a month after the country such as germany went into them and its really been quite contentious because now the u. K. Is lacking on urgent material such as the personal Protection Equipment for those who are working in Front Line Health Care as well as other material such as handsome the thais is but theyve been theres been this real push the scramble by the government to get as much of that as possible in place not just for hospitals but for people working in care homes and who also dealing with other Vulnerable People as well but you have the establishment of this enormous Field Hospital which has been transferred from Exhibition Center in east london it has the capacity to hold up to 4000 patients you have others which are being established across the country in other in other cities all in all the government is now bracing itself for this surge and wondering can the Health System actually contain this kim thanks for that update best on your gago with developments from the u. K. Live from london. Iran is one of the worst affected countries with some 55000. 00 cases and fiction a range of u. S.

Virus out and thats why many officials have. Jails and prisons petri dishes federal prisons are keeping inmates locked in their cells while most state facilities have eliminated visits here in new york more than 200 inmates and corrections staff have tested positive for the coronavirus and its spreading in jails and prisons elsewhere around the country is while in order to contain it officials have authorized the release of thousands of inmates considered high risk for the disease.

Defense secretary is defending Navy Commandos who sacks the captain of an Aircraft Carrier captain brett cross it was relieved of command for complaining about the lack of action to stop the spread of the virus among his 5000 crew but how to my hair or how to call him has more.

A clear message the navy paul says this crew is not happy cruiser was removed from his position after a letter he wrote to the bosses went public after a few sailors tested positive for the coronavirus he begged them to let him evacuate most of the ship writing we are not at war sailors do not need to die if we do not act now we are failing to properly take care of our most trusted asset our sailors the acting secretary of the navy says that language and the fact that dozens of people were sea seat on the email were the reasons he was removed he called his letter unnecessary when the Commanding Officer of the u.

Teddy roosevelt decided to write his letter on the 30th of march 2020 that outlined his concerns for his crew in the midst of the covert 19 outbreak the department of the navy had already mobilized significant resources for days in response to his previous previous requests.
