The anger on the colombian in the colombian capital as a march against Police Brutality turns violent. The World Health Organization has warned that the coronavirus pandemic is accel raising globally but fewer people who get. Dying a 2nd look at the global picture focusing on the 5 countries that have seen the most deaths from the virus the u. K. Is 5th in the world more than 41000 people have died but its curve is going the wrong way the u. K. s Health Minister says that hospital admissions are doubling every 8 days across the atlantic nearly 200000 americans have died since february hospital admissions are down slightly to around 30000 a day brazil has the worst outbreak in latin america with more than 137000 deaths around 4000000 people have survived it 19 india leads the world though in the number of recoveries nearly 4500000 so far more than 90000 patients are being released daily bus nearly 89000 people have died from the virus that mexico has a 10th of indias population but has seen nearly as many deaths more than 73000 cases the supposed 700001 monday well the u. K. Government is brought in a raft of new restrictions in england as it tries to limit the spread of the coronavirus Prime MinisterBoris Johnson addressed parliament to announce the measures they include extending the use of face masks tightening rules on gatherings and encouraging people to work from home schools and universities will remain open hes warning that the country has reached a critical turning point in dealing with the virus. The government will introduce new restrictions in england caffrey drugs to achieve the maximum reduction in the our number with the minimum damage to lives and livelihoods i want to throw that this is by no means a return to the full lockdown of march were not issuing a general instruction to stay at home we will ensure that schools colleges and universities stay open because more important than the Education Health and well being of our young people we will ensure that businesses can stay open in a code compliant way lets go live now to london i was 0 barkers outside the houses of tell us more about these restrictions. Later in the country 1st and foremost his bank where he hoped it wouldnt have to be not facing the full lockdown that was introduced in march but facing for a very strict restrictions on the lives and livelihoods of millions of people specifically across england because of course Northern Ireland scotland wales have their own measures in place in parallel to those issued by Central Government in london. Probably one of the key takeaway message is is that the governments going to get much tougher a much stricter on policing for instance the use of face masks so people working in the Retail Sector will have to wear masks legally they dont have to before also a curfew on bars at restaurants of 10 pm that comes into force on thursday theyll be will be mandatory for Table Service to be offered there so you wont be able to walk up to an order things Going Forward restrictions or so on people gathering for weddings that will be reduced to a number of 15 extended to 30 for people who are attending funerals. But when it comes to actually policing all of these measures the governments also indicated the possibility of greater powers to local authorities particularly when they are in need of funding to police these kind of measures and also the possibility of drawing on military support to ensure that people are complying you know that is a pretty stark step forward to the idea of seeing armed forces on the streets of a city like london to make sure that people are toeing the line but given the rate of increase of the infection it seems that the government is prepared to take me to these restrictions apply just in england or other devolved nations in sync with the national parliament. Well bush also said that see the 1st ministers of scotland Northern Ireland and wales had attended the cobra meeting that was the Emergency Committee meeting here in london earlier in the day and that they are working in parallel to the requirements that have been issued covering england weve already seen for instance in Northern Ireland rules come in place from 6 pm that would limit people being allowed to go into other peoples houses the only exception being if you are requiring somebody support when it comes to child care in wales they have their own national. Powers to be able to introduce lock downs in various parts of wales for different districts have been added to at least very tight restrictions in wales lairs it as opposed to here in england you cant enter or leave those particular districts without a good reason for instance the need to work at all so a similar situation in scotland slight variations across the sea across the different parts of the United Kingdom are very much the message that its the leaders in those respective countries and Central Government here in london are exchanging ideas and moving forward in parallel ill just leave barca reporting live from westminster in london many thanks indeed lets bring in peter kidman is professor of Clinical Psychology at the university of liverpool in the u. K. Good to have you with this pisa here we go again then were not quite back as dave was saying that the lockdown we saw in march but cases are on the rise not only in the u. K. But right across europe what impact is all of this having on Peoples Mental Health and well being. Well i think thats a very important question partly we know. Coming in already that it was experience that anxiety and depression is starting to rise especially young people especially people with preexisting Mental Health problems weve seen increases in anxiety and depression generally in the population and there are some pressures on Mental Health services partly because theres precious only Health Services generally so i think people are right to be concerned and i have to say that the data so far indicate that the vast majority of people are comfortable in complying with those measures that are designed to keep them safe what i worry about is a little bit of reluctance to act by government so early action is much more effective than late action and also confusion certainly in what im seeing on social media what im saying on Mainstream Media and what im hearing just from friends and colleagues that ive talked to is a great deal of confusion about what the government has done what the governments intending mixed messages and i think thats very harmful if that continues welcome people do pieces to. Address or to keep to a minimum the impact on their Mental Health of a rising number of cases again because i mean it is its quite frightening when you see the numbers rising as they are. In the hospital admissions going up more deaths being reported every day. Yes it is there are some things that people can do to keep themselves sane i guess so i think the 1st is that in order to deal with the iris itself and the threats to our health then straight Forward Guidance especially from the medical community should be followed we should wash our hands we should keep distance we should wear masks we should limit social face to face contact to a minimum and we should find other ways of doing our business so taking those sensible precaution should keep us and those we love as safe as possible in terms of maintaining our Mental Health then there are things that we can do i work closely with Public Health england and we have a campaign called every mind matters that gives people simple and straightforward advice to maintain their Mental Health at all times to be honest but especially joe in this pandemic and there are things that people can do to maintain never being people keeping active make sure that you keep in contact with friends and loved ones keep your mind active and make changes to your lifestyle that are around you as much as possible to continue with the things that matter to you well the ways in which you can cheat the things that matter to you so there are things that people can do to maintain their own Mental Health and there is plenty of to be honest quite good at by sound the people to follow it its been really good to talk to you many thanks indeed for being with us peter king the been there professor of Clinical Psychology at the university of liverpool. Choudhry is an urgent care doctor for the u. K. S National Health Service he told me earlier about some of the ways that you can protect yourself from the virus. I think the basics from any doctor will be look where a mosque 1st of all because if youre coughing or sneezing what do you usually do you put your hand in front to go about so a mask would automatically be protecting others so if every always a mask theres a lot more protection in society the 2nd thing would be make sure youre trying to distance yourself from somebody else so that if they actually do cough or sneeze your bit far outweighs the chance of you catching a lot and the 3rd most important thing i would tell everybody is wash your hands 32nd so washing hands properly after any contact with anybody else including shopping bags including engine coming to your house if you do these bait 6 the coronavirus is deadly but its a very stupid virus in the sense that it doesnt fly around for ages you have to catch it directly affect itself so if you do these basic think theyre in the very no chance of you catching this. This is the new stuff from al jazeera still to come on the program libyas oil wells start to come back on stream could the flow of profit succeed where diplomacy has failed. And protests sense right because parliament as the president seeks to push through a bill that would remove limits on his power as. The 75th United NationsGeneral Assembly has just got underway its a session like never before though with World Leaders speaking virtually except the course of the secretary general who we can see now because of the coronavirus pandemic. Is one of the few appearing in person the theme for this years session is reaffirming multilateralism something thats been tested by crises across the world lets go live now to the new york to the the u. N. In new york our diplomatic editor james bays is there for us so james just how is the General Assembly going to look this year. Very very different if i take you inside the General Assembly hall right now you have the secretary general addressing delegates there but theres a very limited number of delegates in the room you can see the pictures just walk. From each country each of the 193. 00 countries thats the social distancing in the room a very limited audience for the secretary general of him and the president of the General Assembly are actually going to be speaking in the hall all the World Leaders who normally come in from around the world for this week in new york what some call the diplomatic olympics so the diplomatic oscars are not here they are all going to be giving their speeches recorded speeches from their capitals and most start to hear those speeches with the president of brazil in the next half hour and then the 2nd speaker by tradition is this they had a. Country which is President Donald Trump was telling you what the secretary general has been saying adrian during his speech so far hes recalled a speech he gave in january to General Assembly where he identified the 4 horsemen for threats to the world that endangered the world right now and they were the highest geo political tensions in years the Climate Crisis growing mistrust around the world in the dark side of the Digital World he said theres a 5th horseman that was lurking in the wings he didnt know about but thats made all the other things worse and that of course is covert 19 year old member that when the pandemic started the secretary general called for a global ceasefire because of the threat of the pandemic trance stop all these conflicts around the world and get cease fires in each of these conflicts that call fell on deaf ears hes now reiterated the call and says he wants a global sea swap by the end of the year but if youre counting thats 100. 00 days from now rice the chances could be a very different General Assembly this year but to what extent will be will it be a diminished General Assembly. Well they all the World Leaders will get their points across and well hear those speeches for example when we listen to President Trump well hear what hes saying about china and the tensions with china after him calling it the china virus well hear his latest comments on iran after he declared snapback of International Sanctions on iran and the rest of the world said no theyre not snapping back those sort of things are all going to come out from the national speeches that we hear one by one throughout this week whats missing is the business they do in the margins of these meetings the normally packed corridors here at the u. N. Where Foreign Ministers meet ambassadors meet officials meet World Leaders even bump into each other or arrange to bump into each other to get Business Done none of that business is going to be done this year. As james said were expecting President Trump to speak within the next hour after. Hour of brazil were also expecting turkeys president xi jinping of china and president Vladimir Putin to speak will take all of those speeches live here on aljazeera james for the moment many thanks indeed.
