Roy jones is our correspondent in london this hour rory do we know any more about Boris Johnsons condition is there any update. A few hours ago we did get an update from the Prime Ministers spokesperson that was the 1st time that weve heard in the thing since earlier on this morning from michael gove and the Prime Ministers spokesperson didnt really indicate that the situation that changed much overnights or in the last few hours he said that the Prime Minister was stable in good spirits that he had received oxygen but that he hadnt been put on a ventilator or any sort of intubation and he said that there had been no diagnosis of pneumonia. This is though clearly a very grave situation for the Prime Minister a very grave situation for the country as well and as we heard in needs reports. Dominic robb the foreign secretary is deputizing where necessary now or does that mean will the u. K. Doesnt really have a kind of clearly defined order of command chain of command like the United States does things are a bit more ad hoc here but yes with Boris Johnson mostly out of action dominic robb is deputizing if he gets out of action then the chancellor of the exchequer steps in. It would be wrong to say that dominic robb is totally taking over from the Prime Minister though Boris Johnson is still in that role its more like say the process johnson is the you know the captain of the ship he set the course and dominic rob is keeping his hand on the tiller meant taking that course for the time being he cant hire and fire ministers and any matters of National Security are going to be handled along the cabinet principle of collective responsibility. And rory we have had not date in terms of numbers on the death toll from growing a virus in the u. K. What can you tell us there well yeah we have different numbers at the moment for around the different nations of the United Kingdom so we have englands wales Northern Ireland scotland what we dont have an official tally for the whole of the United Kingdom yet but it does look like it is going to be a very bad day perhaps the worst yet of the coronavirus epidemic so what we have from england is that there are 758 deaths reported in hospitals scotland 74 deaths 19 in wales and i think 3 new deaths in Northern Ireland so well wait for the official tally to come out for the whole of the u. K. From the department of health but it looks like at the moment 854 new hospital deaths in the United Kingdom and of course that doesnt take into account the number of people who are dying out in care homes or in their own homes and those figures the whole tally for the for the country wont be known for some time yet but this looks like the situation is still getting worse in terms of daily deaths in the United Kingdom thanks that update there are a challenge live from london.

Many here believed japan had been spared the worst of the pandemic but an alarming rise in the number of new infections has prompted Prime Minister shinzo abbey to declare a state of emergency took office ok if we can reduce social contact between people by at least 70 percent or possibly by 80 percent we can assure the virus peaks in 2 weeks and that number will decrease the emergency measures will be in force in tokyo osaka and 5 other prefectures but will rely on people of serving them bullen terribly residents can be requested to stay home except for essential tasks schools can be closed and public gatherings spanned land and buildings can be requisitioned for emergency hospitals along with food and medicine but some are concerned it might not be enough.
