The saddest thing is that these bodies were left alone naked so alone there were people who died when no one could see or hear them without the possibility to talk to their loved ones so that anyone who could comfort them that spain now has more than 5000 dead from the virus with more expected the emergency military units is undertaking an extraordinary task to disinfect care homes and hospitals train stations and city center streets.

Lets get more on the situation in italy from francesco jumper tony hes a journalist based in milan and joins us now by skype at the italian Prime Minister has just addressed the nation francesco and this comes as the country has reached yet another grim milestone just give us a sense of what he had to say. Well after 20 days of National Lockdown the Prime Minister does a pick up announced a new economy bashers to fight the Coronavirus Crisis with a new law decree the government will send 4300000000 euros to the minister tell it is for the emergency and they will also send full 1000. 1000000 euros in 400000000 euros is a full 2 minutes about it is for new vouchers for food embezzled needs for those who are and trouble in the next days he was expected to announce also new extension of the of the restriction for 15 days more but he he hasnt done it yet he is still speaking he said all this after it was announced that nearly 900 people have died in the last 24 hours so the. Death toll now hits 10000 tree times more than china and positive cases hit 92000 or will still see the worst effects here in long but the where the Health System is really and crisis it is indeed indeed were hearing that medics and nurses are among those who are. Among the the day as it were which is always quite frightening that now youre in its only just give us a sense of what is like for people who are actually living there. Its incredible way to never fall one month ago that we could have been in this situation now what were coping with base of course who doesnt have. Parents or relatives and hospitals just has to stay home and everyone is respecting this measures but for those who cannot see their friends or family members dying and cannot mourn them and funerals the situation is this is really incredible its also more shocking what is happening with medical workers because for the 1st weeks they didnt have the right equipment. To work so a lot of them have probably spread the virus and infected themselves that and also other people and in some some regions will have to explain why or why this happened then the government. Situation far from under control for neither francesco jumper tony joining us from milan thank you ok well the u. K. Government has again urged people to abide spy the restrictions and stay at home but as jonah ho finds in london many seem to be ignoring that message. Well were 5 days now into the latest sense of restrictive measures imposed by the government on monday night people are asked to stay at home as much as they possibly can to go out only when absolutely necessary to visit the supermarket or the pharmacy or to exercise in parks like this to take the dog for a walk in to do so only for a short a time as possible now theres lots of evidence that the majority of people are taking all of this quite seriously but quite a lot of people appear not to be with crowds heading into the parks and recreation areas beauty spots and so on in the decent spring weather are not the brow of Primrose Hill here and you can see quite a lot of people simply sitting back and enjoying this view of the london skyline there among the joggers and cyclists and dog walkers and people out with their kids kicking a ball theres a Farmers Market operating at one end of the park and and down there at the bottom end of the park was a very pretty high street where the wine shop is open and the bookshop and the butchery and coffee shops and deli is offering a very limited service and theres a lot of very clear social distancing going on people arent being openly irresponsible but still a lot of people about the police have new powers of course to force the lock down for the moment theyre not choosing to do so with a heavy hand but one Police Constable we spoke to earlier said he was very frustrated by all of this he simply said that most of these people shouldnt be here at all it is a worry as britain looks down the road just 2 or 3 weeks away now the epidemiologists tell us towards the peak of the crisis here with the Health Service desperately trying to scale up to be able to cope it all depends on lockdowns working to flatten that peak and as a the evidence here i think will be of some concern. Was safe and good morning from sonya guy a go she joins us now live via skype and sonia as we saw from john are people so clearly not taking this locked in very seriously at all we have just had an update from the British Government in the last few years is there any indication stricter measures are coming. Well it really was a stark warning given by the health of the head of the english Health Services said that the most optimistic really that they can hope for is so thats because when t. 1000 deaths resulting from that. He said that if they could keep the number that then they would have done a very good job now if that number of the death toll does not hit home then they will most likely have to try and so the c. F. A. Can usher in the measures to stop people because of course that number is as a result of calculations now but of course its a very fast moving situation hit and these measures and those tallies can really only be in place if people stick to those measures that the government has put into place shes social distancing staying at home as as well as much as possible in any coming out really the best essential and for emergencies now with this in mind as well there is also been criticism of the way that the British Government has been navigating this from the start for example even before the pandemic itself really new cases the i. C. U. Units really was amongst the lowest in europe as well and you had the editor of one of us respectable medical journals in the world along that really sort of criticizing the u. K. Government for not having whats being woefully unprepared for there being now i say to take off some panic in order to rush to deal with the capacity which this in hospital and also scrambling to get a quick ments basic things such as hand sanitizers has no protection of meant for Health Workers and even though youve had 18000 nesses dont know the Health Workers saying that they will go. Back been retired in sort of it would be willing to go back to work all this question its still a major shortfall in terms of how many staff they can keep across this says the editor when it comes down to the fact that the u. K. Did not follow what the whos guidelines were which was of course the test test test starting that now with the Health Workers but really in the lead trying to get sort of more of them to to be in place its really they have a long way to go before they can actually manage to really sort of. Fill out that shortfall which they have in the Health Care Sector ok so you go bring us up to date on the situation in the u. K. Thank you very much indeed for all numbers continue to grow blue will leave the city where the pandemic began is opening its doors to new arrivals people are not allowed in 200 there are so fears of an imported 2nd wave of infections sarah clarke has more on the situation across asia.

The or are. Kind of the top stories here on aljazeera the number of coronavirus thats continues to rise in europe spain reported another daily high with 832 deaths more than 10000 people died in italy. As the number of deaths in the u. K. Passed 1000 the government has again urged people to abide by the restrictions and stay home the medical director of Britains National Health Service is keeping the number of fatalities below 20000. 00 would be a good result for the call across virus crisis. But the city where the pandemic began is opening its doors to new arrivals people are no allowed into but there are still fears of an imported 2nd wave of infections. While the number of known coronavirus cases in the United States has soared well past 115000 more than 1100 people across the country have died new york remains the worst affected state American Health care workers are appealing for more protective equipment to treat a surge in patients its already pushing hospitals to their limits or President Donald Trump says hes considering bruising a quarantine on some regions. Some people would like to see new york quarantine because it bought new York New Jersey maybe one or 2 of the places a certain part of that the kids who are doing im thinking about that right now. We might not have to do it but theres a possibility that sometime today well do a quarantine short term 2 weeks on new york. Probably new jersey just hard to get out of it. Lets get more now from alan fischer he joins us live from virginia via skype balance not a lot of clarity that from Donald Trumps a some people want to quarantine new york state what exactly does this mean. Well he also said that he had a good dialogue with under cuomo who is the governor of new york andrew cuomo and anything you told about potentially quarantining ive been speaking to people over the last hour sources donald trump made these comments on his way to the white house 1st time hes left the white house more than a week its not entirely sure how this would want the president doesnt have that sort of power he would need some sort of congressional approval whether or not he would get that then becomes the whole thing the governors have the power to do that and youve got to get a lot of the tri state area that support new York New Jersey and connecticut is commonly known but it would dont trump enforce this if he was going to do it and he the National Guard although it says national is actually controlled by the states individually theyd be up to the governor the president cant use the army to do any sort of civilian policing so its not entirely sure how he would do this that the template might be rhode island drouet island is the state right next door to new york a lot of people in new york have beach homes have summer homes in rhode island they have the governor issued an order to Law Enforcement have been going round those houses on the beach if they see the new york plates and the asking people why they want to see new york police i mean in their cars theyre asking people why theyre there theyre checking these homes as well and if people are new york residents theyre being told they are no quarantine they have to stay in that house for 14 days its the president about to bring this into new York New Jersey and connecticut well certainly the governors dont know much about it andrew cuomo thinks that at the moment at the moment things are doing ok the way they are with an extra burden to people so this is something that may well develop in the coming hours well keep an eye on not that as ever not an awful lot of clotting certainly on the nationwide low. I have all but the epicenter does appear to be new york just give us a sense of how the the situation is progressing there are we starting to see some of the much needed medical equipment heading into the state to treat people. Well andrew cuomo who is the governor of the state says that he wants to get things in place for when he sees the e. P. A. All the models are saying the apex the peak of the virus is going to hit and he says that 2 to 3 weeks what does he need well he needs a lot of ventilators probably somewhere in the region of 3000 ventilators and he needs 140000 hospital beds now hes identified 4 sites and the auteur but is if you consider manhattan to be the Central Point of new yorks new york city then in the 4 bottas there are increased capacity being built he says that theres a big problem with getting hold of the ventilators because if they go to a company and say you know we want to buy a ventilators and theyre quoted 25000. 00 per ventilator some of the company will come back and say well another states going to pay is 35000 or another state is now going to pay is 45000 cuomo says the government has to get a grip of this on the federal level they have got to centralize buying to stop states im betting one another when all the trying to do is protect their people he thinks that if hes got 140000 beds and 3000 ventilators he may well be in a position to get through the washed of this he says thats the watch case and not even his hope is that they wont need all of that but of course if they dont fly i know the car it could be much worse interest that hes talking about a peak hitting new york the epicenter in the United States somewhere in the region of 2. 00 to 3. 00 weeks that would bang is right up against the stove which of course is when donald trump a few days ago was saying hed like to see a large swathes of the country opening he seems to have in the last 48 hours or so back to way from that idea one reason because a very prominent republican senator said look if you do this then the deaths after that could well be traced back to you. Alan fischer that bring us up to date on the situation yes thank you very much indeed thank you. Well several of the worlds most cash strapped countries are particularly threatened by the coronavirus in argentina 2 years of economic recession has put on employment rates at almost 10 percent now the country is impulse and latin americas strictest locked own measures to resemble reports from buenos aires. The streets of argentinas capital when a site is are empty these days after the government imposed a look down in the country but soup kitchens like this one cannot afford to shut down. Constanza says the amount of people coming year has doubled in the past few days and the local guy called mia people used to come here and sit down they could take a shower and spend some time things have changed but the amount of people coming has doubled many cant work and cant survive with the lock down and others live on the streets. Ok yet argentinas economy was already struggling with recession and the possibility of default on its sovereign debt before fighting the covert 19 became a priority for this countrys government life is difficult for many in argentina his days as a rise of unemployment from poverty and the impact that the lockdown cost revive a coronavirus is having and the economy for many coming to this place is the only chance they have to eat at least once a day job as it does you got me well you know yes but its not just the poor that i belong affected you very much are going on silas works as a taxi driver in the city he says hes worried with the impact over 1000 could have in the country but hes unsure how he will survive if the lockdown continues hes 60 years old and this taxi is the only way he has of making a living. Or youre going to get your big moment situation is very very serious i have to pay a rent and i cannot make any money im not sure what is going to happen we are authorized to be on the street but theres more people. Even though the lockdown is supposed to last until the end of the month the government might extended for a longer period it has also warned of private creditors that argentinas economic recoveries uncertain and that its debt crisis could be prolonged due to the coronavirus pandemic. Economy minister monolingual man says the priority right now is. Cysteine arjan time families with extra income to survive for the next few weeks. Going on a guy you cannot make activity is minimal because the lockdown in this leaves a lot of people with anguish and desperation but we want to make sure that every person that lives in argentina is protective of the situation as. President albert of a man there says hes prioritizing saving lives over the Economic Situation those who need the governments help say its the only way bill survive in the weeks ahead. Really several scientists.

People who have been tested positive for cobra 19 im not observing a quarantine that the government to sit should didnt happen theyre not going into isolation and it was interesting hearing from a political leader in the local province and this is after a man from were talking the province where we are now was tested positive travel to live. Interactive with several people were seen socializing and this political leader then says weve given people the freedom to stay at home if theyre found to test positive or corrode out but it seemed to not observing that so now we have to arrest them and force of quarantine this is also the case in the problems of course room at tulkarem and was tested positive for corona i had received who then continued to see plights before the lockdown and hes since been charged with attempted murder and its understood that hes been in touch with the g 27. 00 people so trying to enforce the slap down trying to make people observe a quarantine or isolation hasnt been easy as there are many many people in south africa who object what theyre supposed to do but when we look at certain sittings in townships places where people havent been able to get to school was to buy the food they need and you know to lock down crack conditions as you mentioned but people also standing back to back in very long queues social distancing is just not an option.
