Biggest emergency is still quite contained to the north of italy the region lombardy especially. And its slowly spreading south thanks to the emergency measures that the government has put forth but lamberti is definitely every day ask for help because their hospitals are overcrowded they have been moving some of their patients to south than hospitals because they do not have any more beds for people with coronavirus conditions especially respect to any conditions so definitely the northern Health System is taking a toll in the south is trying to prepare their best in the general sense is that this is what were supposed to do and there will be consequences the economy many people have to stay at home from work and cannot work all the obviously annoyed travel. The Service Sector of italy tourist its all shut down but i think you Time Population understands that this is very important to follow weve seen in less than a month an incredible outbreak so people actually agree with what the government has put forth as measures and actually think that should be enforced even a little more thats why in the last couple of days mayors have also closed down the parks asking people to stay in the house as much as possible the other west affected countries spain and france have recorded the highest death tolls in a single day as wealthy countries across europe are locking down to try and stop the spread of infection businesses have been close in borders south as people are asked to stay at home not in baba has this report. The latest tool in the fight against Coronavirus Police drones in madrid flying over public spaces urging people to stay home whenever possible.

In the u. K. The governments been accused of not acting quickly enough to contain the spread as people stocked up over the weekend almost emptying supermarkets in some areas hundreds of scientists queried the governments strategy the Health Minister now says wartime style measures are coming hes asking british manufacturers to make more ventilators soon everyone over the age of 70 will be asked to self isolate for up to 4 months and this week should see new measures including a ban on large gatherings we will change the law so that we take the power to be able to close math at Mass Gatherings if we need to and and take other action that you just normally wouldnt but we might have to in order to respond to this to this virus italys record is another dramatic rise in the death toll and there have been more than 20000 coronavirus cases there in the vatican with some Peters Square empty pope francis delivered his weekly sunday prayers a fire live stream you know what i mean reaching out i want to renew my proximity to all the 2nd those who are nursing them and for the many volunteers helping people unable to leave their homes but everyone meeting the needs of the poorest and the homeless as of sunday night the czech republics borders with poland are closed a move designed to slow the spread of the virus and in poland theyve shut the border with germany temporarily. This is a historic moment we have just restored an internal European Union border between poland and germany for the coming 10 days germany has confirmed its borders with austria switzerland and france will be closed from monday although commuters and goods vehicles are to be allowed through another sign of how europes turning inwards as the number of corona virus infections continues to grow the dean barber al jazeera. Or despite a rising infection rate in the United StatesPresident Donald Trump remains optimistic speaking at the white house he is short americans theres no need to hoard cleaning products and groceries as a supply chain remains healthy. You dont have to buy so much take it easy just people are going in and theyre buying more they i remember i guess during the conversation doug of walmart said that they buy more than they buy christmas relax but doing great it will pass lets bring in an official whos in washington d. C. And allan the president pretty bullish about things in general what else did he have to say. Well you may have reason to be weve just heard from the Associated Press just in the last 20 minutes or so theyre reporting a u. S. Government official unnamed at this point saying that the doors of a potential covert 19 vaccine could be delivered for a Clinical Trial or and monday so in the next several hours as i say thats an e. P. A. Report has just come out in the last 20 minutes theres no confirmation from the white house as of yet what is interesting is that donald trump was saying look were fine everythings fine were under control and then a very short time later after he left the Briefing Room at the white house the man who is in charge of dealing with the crisis essentially said look the washed has still to come so theres still a long way to go what is also interesting on a national day of prayer donald trump started his remarks not with a tribute to the 1st responders who have been dealing with this crisis not with the people who have died in this crisis but instead chose to talk about the feds decision to cut Interest Rates to almost 0 another 2 ways of looking at that decision by the fed which is the most dramatic intervention in the Financial Markets that the United States central bank has done since the 2008 financial crisis one is to make money cheaper for companies that will be important because then they might be able to sustain losses over a longer period than we all know that in Business Uncertainty is one of the watch things you can have and theres certainly a great deal of uncertainty about how long this crisis will last however if this was aimed at stimulating Consumer Spending it seems unlikely that people are going to take any sort of loan at the moment when money is cheaper theyre going to think about buying houses at the moment Consumer Confidence has essentially apart from the panic buying that weve seen collapse people are staying at home when theyre not going to the supermarkets to to stock up on. Necessities so this is an interesting. Move by the fed one that donald trump has been calling for for of a long time one that has no been delivered but the futures market. Responded by dropping a 1000 points it will be interesting to see if that is reflected when the actual markets open on monday morning. Allan you talk about. My parents coming to the to the podium the Vice President talking about u. S. Preparedness tell us more about. Well theres been concern that the u. S. Hasnt got enough tests in the game that they have been very slow in responding to this that donald trump who for a very long time said to anyone once a test can get a test that was clearly not the case when we were talking about literally dozens of tests being conducted each day when other countries have been conducting hundreds of thousands if not millions while the United States says there will be no is somewhere in the region of 1900000. 00 tests before the end of the week Vice President might pence sees this as significant we will now have access in the days ahead to more than 2000 labs across the country that have the equipment today to process coronavirus this much more rapidly in a much higher volume for the American People in terms of delivering those services more than 10 states in addition to c. D. C. Labs Public Health labs and labs that states can now authorize in their state more than 10 states of implementing their own drive through testing sites. A number of states have already announced that they are ordering the closure of bars and restaurants thats to stop people mingling at the federal government will announce what it plans to do on monday whether its going to follow those local leads certainly we know that a number of places essentially drinking in the last chance saloon tonight before a lot of these bars and restaurants will be closed what was also interesting that came out of the briefing in the at the white house is that alex is our who is the health and Human Services secretary he was asked how many ventilators are there in the United States that could become very important as people develop respiratory illnesses he said that he couldnt give that figure because it was for National Security reasons very quick check online revealed that there are around 160000 ventilators in the United States of varying kinds at the moment many experts are concerned that that figure might not be enough or adam thanks very much indeed alan fischer reporting from washington d. C. Well columba is the latest nation to block all foreign travelers from entering the country its border with venezuela is already closed and the further restrictions will come into effect on monday residents and citizens can still enter but will have to self isolate for 2 weeks mexico is also considering shutting its border with the United States to stop american citizens spreading the virus in mexico city men or apollo says theres growing concern that latin america may not be prepared to deal with the pandemic. Well mexico has only begun to find that cases of corona virus are just now in the double digits as of last week and what were hearing from Public Policy experts is that thats worrisome that could be a sign that mexico is not carrying out its its protocols its obligations to protocols when it comes to testing there is concern over the level of preparedness in mexico and in the rest of latin america with a few exceptions such as chile and co said week of the region actually spends less money on health on their public Health Systems than almost anywhere else in the world less than north africa less than the middle east now every country is different every government in the region is different so the measures for containment are different we heard early on sunday from the president of colombia even ducat saying that new containment measures would be put in place for nonresidents of noncitizens coming into colombia that will they will no longer be able to enter the country and for colombian citizens returning home from abroad they will have to spend a period of 14 days mandatory self quarantine but were seeing similar measures being taken in Central America as is the case with all solved or which last week closed its borders outright but each country is different and giving the amount of spending that this region of the world is not doing there is a growing concern. So the head here announcer a sigh of relief in china as the corona Virus Outbreak this slow down this is governments declaring victory. Could be guns is government israels president says hes going to give me the challenge to rule. Across japan at the moment we have had a rather wintry starts to the wake with some snow in places that area of low pressure now pulling out of the way not a little feature there just over the wall says towards home she it was all caught up but its an improving feature so were losing the snow that weve seen in tokyo for example turning increasingly to right temperatures here as around 13 degrees still a chance of water to where wintry flurries just on the western side of honshu but even these will pay to rattle brighton rock not as a goal through the next couple days more sunshine and it will warmer as well 15 degrees celsius 13 the thistle will choose day we could touch 19 in beijing some northern parts of china too bad its into the south where we can see increasing areas of cloud and rain coming in that rain will be heavy at times possibility of some localized flooding now out west weather is making its way out solve in the china to the south of that general fine and dry the showers says they should do the seasonal rains straddling the equator very well what a week away from the aqueducts i would expect to see those showers on the side of the equation meanwhile for india is fine and dry with a lot of sunshine for the most.

Irans death toll has risen by more than 100 to at least 724 it is its biggest single biggest jump in death and many iranians have ignored official advice to stay at home host and senior officials politicians doctors and clerics have contracts with the disease and there are concerns that coronavirus pandemic could overwhelm irans Health Facilities and place an even lalage of the on the struggling economy there are now 14000. 00 confirmed cases iran is believed to have 110000 hospital beds 30000 of those in the capital tehran the country is already under pressure because of u. S. Sanctions and with the outbreak placing further pressure on medical services the government has asked the International Monetary fund for 5000000000. 00 in emergency funding president Hassan Rouhani has offered low interest loans and cash handouts to ease the financial burden on millions of households symbols rather reports now from tehran. The statements in the briefings that come from the Health Ministry from the Coronavirus Task force set up by president Hassan Rouhani have become fairly routine weeks into this outbreak here in iran but there was a highlight today that certainly will have many younger people sitting up and taking notice the Health Official with the Task Force Said that 15 percent of those that have died so far in iran are categorized as younger patients and he said that they exhibited no signs of previous respiratory conditions or any other illnesses so certainly this could be an anomaly we dont have any verification for whether or not this is the case but this official suggested hes not the 1st one to do so that the virus in iran is quote deadlier and wilder than cases that have been observed in other parts of the world so certainly a worrying trend the virus as you said was already a concern for irans aging population but this is a country with a very Large Youth Population the majority of the country is considered to be in the category of younger people the median age is 31 and for them this will certainly add to the woes that iran has been experiencing as the government tries to combat the spread of this virus to lebanon where the Prime Minister has announced a lockdown to try and contain the virus michel aoun ordered people to stay at home to prevent it spread the borders will close from wednesday for at least 11 days the country has 99 confirmed cases so far including 3 deaths then harder as more.
