Well lets now get more on just how residents in spain are handling the outbreak we can speak to maga vacuous who is a professor of constitutional law at Boston University but she joins us now from a city under one of the most restrictive lockdowns in spain thank you so much for taking the time to speak to us today i know the lockdown in your city has been described as a lockdown within a lockdown and youve been living inside it for 3 weeks now by my account can you describe for us what life is like there at the moment. Yes we are a lockdown inside a lockdown saw the situation here is. Strange because we cannot get out from our city little city hall either and its not only that we cannot go to get out from our house but since before the lockdown that was passed all over spain. We were already locked down here in houla but at the beginning we could go out for a for a walk keeping the source feel distant we could call for a walk in the countryside because this is a small induced tears city so we could go or go for walks but after the. Spanish government passed the alarmist state we cannot get out from our home and then we cannot go out from or were city from our area so this is kind of a strange and the other thing is that its regional we cannot get out from our or where we are because we are focused but then we dont understand why other cities did not get locked down although. I can understand that there are cities that are more difficult to lock down rather than a serial like mine which is a smaller but are still. With darren dont get why these differences happened of course i know that other residents of your city have been speaking about a sense of duty selfsacrifice throughout this period whats than with there now after so many weeks especially i believe your isolation has been doubled from 15 days to 30 days now. Yes afford these the government needs the approval from the parliament from the Spanish Parliament from the Spanish Congress and the congress accepted this a large man so the 1st 15 days the government just needed to inform the parliament but to a large sheet for 15 days more they needed to prove all from the parliament by a simple majority is and then this is what happened that day a large confinement then we were not sure if we would get rid of one of our confinement which is read from the fact that we are also confined here in equal other and the other villages nearby but no the new the crew that was passed by the government said that we kept being confined here and we will either which maybe its not maybe its north. Crucial because we are already here at home but that means that if something happens if we want to go to another hospital we would need to also research on even if we need to see our reality of sore there as in some cases inside the creek you can move around but not if you are from a whole other or from the other towns like villanova theyll cut me or vote in a if you are are one of the persons living either in what other 1000000000 over the coming. Or all there now you cannot get out from from this town so sure i do want to ask because i see the numbers are pretty large there Something Like 20000 and factions and the hospital theyre incredibly overstretched i imagine everyone there probably knows at least one person who has been infected or has passed on how are people there coping day to day psychologically. Its really we are scared and i really rick would recommend people from all over the wall to really keep the social distance because when these are started to fall already knew what was happening in italy but we couldnt believe it but we already had so much more cases here so i would retire let me body to keep the social distance because its only way because when they will be aware the situation would willingly have been explored so its very important that everybody stays at home and keeps a social distance because now whats happening here is that people cannot go to funerals and not stay with their relatives the when they are see. The hospitals are. So and then there are many many dead like last year in 201947 percent started here in new this new year 140. 00 so there is a difference so even the numbers we have there are there are dating because they are not real because there are many people that has passed away without being there they are they organized a school with 19 margaret vacas there speaking to us from. A city under one of the most restrictive lockdowns in spain thank you for joining us thank you so much and thanks to the Health Workers all over thank you indeed well in the United States more than 5000 people have died and Vice President mike pence has compared the situation there to italy which has been overwhelmed by cases president ronald trump is considering limiting domestic air and rail travel between hot spots but hes resisting calls for a National Shutdown even as infections there past 200000 state governors are pleading for more equipment to tackle the outbreak but federal stocks are said to be near empty. Trump has once again tested the relationship with chinese president xi jinping doubling down on his accusation that beijing is under reporting cases the numbers seem to be a little bit on the lights and im being nice when i say that relative to what we witnessed and what was reported but we discussed that with him not so much the numbers as what they did and how theyre doing and word constant communication well lets bring in our correspondent katrina you who is in the Capital Beijing katrina china unsurprisingly pushing back against those u. S. Allegations. Thats right Chinas Foreign Ministry spokesperson what union called u. S. Accusations that china wasnt being accurate in its current virus data shameless watching also said that washington was politicizing this pandemic in order to divert attention away from its own bad handling of the crisis in the u. S. And that it would do better to focus on the health and safety of its own people now these are the these strong comments of course following trumps comments as well as a leaked report from the u. S. Intelligence community as a reported by bloomberg that the charge that china was basically fudging its corinna virus numbers that these numbers were basically fake and that it wasnt true that fewer people in china have died from covert 19 compared to people in the u. S. Now china and Chinese State media has been on the defensive about its current virus datta for the past few days saying that the u. S. Is engaging in a state. Campaign blaming china in order to sort of focus the attention away from its handling men away from political squabbles over the outbreak but its true that chinas counting of the krona virus the current virus does say here in china has changed over the past few months a number of times and at the moment china has just over 80000 cases and Chinese Health experts have been saying look the reason its much lower comment other countries compared to the u. S. Is because china acted quickly it looked down much of the country quickly and theyre also saying that the fact that asymptomatic cases were not included in the official tally until wednesday is more of a matter of statistics and data and not a matter of transparency and accuracy or katrina i know weve been talking about fears of a 2nd wave of infections for some days now and now another city i believe is under lockdown is this the resurgence that all these officials have been fearing. Thats right so a new county judge county has just been put into lockdown this week so 600000 people live in that county and theyve been told that theyre not able to leave their homes unless they have expressed permission most traffic has been taken off the roads Outbound Travel is also virtually bad and this happened after a man who is known to have visited 100 city in general came back to the county and is apparently has apparently infected 2 doctors at a local hospital and its said that these 2 doctors are asymptomatic but authorities arent taking any chances and thats why they put the county into this lockdown just as mind you the rest of the country including who bay province is returning to normal but surprisingly this lockdown isnt not very widely spoken of here in chinas state media have seem to be downplaying this outbreak and i think thats because the Chinese Government messaging is really a saying that theyre trying to calm people down and say that the economy is back and up and running that it is mostly safe to come out now so theyre not using the 2nd wave outbreak language at all that actually saying the opposite and actually Chinas Center for Disease Control gave an interview yesterday on state media saying asymptomatic patients are not as infectious as other patients and that the chances of a normal person in china passing an asymptomatic person are extremely low if not virtually 0 so the government is still very much on the defensive older people here are increasingly worried and as the u. S. Officials have been saying there is more mushrooms here here in china as well raising questions about the accuracy of these numbers from the government katrina are you there for us in the chinese Capital Beijing thank you katrina well the scale of the pandemic now means that some funeral traditions are being broken in iraq some cemeteries are refusing to accept the dead which is traumatizing and infuriating families who are in mourning Simona Fulton reports from baghdad. A desperate plea for help posted on facebook from the confines of a government run quarantine facility. We pay over to the higher religious authorities to find a solution the body has been at the morgue for 4. 00 or 5 days now god can not except that this is the family of. A 67 year old baghdad resident who died on march 21st from covert 19 in a line of muslim tradition body should have been laid to rest within 24 hours but no grave yard would accept to bury him the ordeal has further traumatized the grieving family who spoke to them after they were released from quarantine. The people and tribes that live around the graveyards refuse to allow the burials they said this is a pandemic and it will spread through the ground but i blame the government because the graveyards are under their responsibility nobody came to bid their respects during the 3 day mourning period instead people sent banners with messages of condolences theres a widespread stigma associated with covert 19 and some of it stems from fear of being buried in a way that goes against islam religious leaders have tried to clarify which burial rights can be waived. We believe that any dead person should be honored by a suitable burial except in one situation if a normal burial could hurt the living people at that point we can be of some conditions like washing the corpse but its important to preserve honor by bringing the body. School religious authorities and the ministry of health have appealed to graveyards not to turn away covert 19 victims one of them to me always out of the World Health Organization and Health Minister issued instructions on how to deal with the bodies by sterilizing them wrapping them insert ice cover and bring them to meters below the ground all the experts say there will be no risk associated with those bodies. But the message had little effect and the government has now allocated theres ignited covert 19 burial sites in the desert the Popular Mobilization forces and umbrella of mostly iranian backed perm military groups agreed to carry out the burials or definition we are not burying them randomly were doing it in line with islamic law 1st we put his right cheek on the soil facing mecca the shrouds are available and we can also debate the bodies if the Health Ministry allows it still convincing families to let go of deeply rooted cultural and religious beliefs has been a challenge ultimately they had no choice was. 8 days after his death Security Forces scored the family to the desert to bury his body there was nothing to mark the location to help the family return for prayers and little assurance they say that his soul would rest in peace. Now a top British Health official says hes away everyone is frustrated over the governments failure to provide widespread virus screening in a video message posted online Prime Minister bars johnson vowed to massively increase testing johnson himself has been in self isolation since friday when he confirmed he has the virus on wednesday the u. K. Reported a record jump in its daily corona virus deaths more than 500 people died in the past 24 hours well lets cross now to join the hall he joins us from an n. H. S. Testing center in london joined such controversy over the lack of Testing Facilities tell us a little bit more about the sent away or at. Yes testing is a big big issue for the government here and its a big political issue the backlash is growing against the government that just caught same day off today to answer clearly questions about quite why this country is so far behind the curve on testing and when and how it will catch up something between 8 and 10000 tests being conducted today currently most of those are people in hospital in germany 70000 tests per day being conducted well as you said johnson in isolation issued a statement saying its all being massively scaled up a Health Secretary who is now out of isolation has recovered from corona virus is due to make a big announcement nature about what other massive efforts are ongoing this is part of that effort now its a drive through Testing Centers set up in the parking lot of an ikea in North West London for specifically a National Health service frontline Health Workers to allow them to come through here its one of 5 centers like it there are more coming on line to get Rapid Testing these are people who are country self isolating with symptoms of coronavirus or with somebody in their household with symptoms of coronavirus they are frontline Health Workers who are being taken away from the fight against coronavirus without even knowing whether they have it or not well this is designed to ease that situation and get people back to work where theyre most needed far more quickly but you know initial signs are not that encouraging only 2008 u. S. Health workers have been tested so far it emerged out of a possible half a 1000000 who will need it the government says overall it is on track to scale up its testing efforts from the current 10000 a day as i said to 25000 a day by the end of the month and hundreds of thousands within weeks but you know with the peak of this epidemic possibly within a fortnight away and with a 1000 deaths a day predicted possibly as early as this weekend it does rather look to many as if you the u. K. Will be overwhelmed by coronavirus far sooner than the government is able to test for a town hall there for us in london at 26. 00 to be a very busy testing potential thank you general. Now the president of the philippines has ordered soldiers and police to shoot anyone who violates the mandatory month long lockdown there or to go to test a issued the warning after a protest by villages who are complaining about the lack of food. If you want shooting sure if you want i want his or my orders of for the police the military and the villages in case these trouble end is an occasion with a fight and if your life is 3 since shoot them do so let this be a warning to follow governments at this time because its really critical that we have.

And that said the high court that case its been going on for 18 years but the defense of course arguing that the prosecution was not able to prove its case that most of the witnesses were police men and also the fact that a u. S. Psychologist had mentioned that when he interviewed khalid shaikh. The mastermind of the september 11th attacks in 2001 he had it made he actually wanted war and beheading so the court of course commuting that sentence from the dead penalty for omar shake and that of course now 7 years but because hes already.

Well qatar has increased restrictions to slow the spread of the 19 that have been now more than 800. 00 confirmed cases and to death the crisis has taken its toll on many businesses including Qatar Airways also bari has more. Quiet calm and nearly empty this is an unfamiliar scene that is quickly becoming the new normal how Many International airport in doha is usually one of the busiest airports in the middle east but now because of the covert 1000. 00 pandemic operations are running at an all time low the Global Health crisis has changed the way things operate here due to this Global Change of course and theres a bigger downsizing of the operation currently whats happening and of course we had to adapt organizationally and also our processors and theres effect ation the standards. The airport is disinfected twice a day for now only Qatari Citizens are allowed back into the country and they are tested for covert 19 upon arrival Qatar Airways had about 250 flights a day now thats down to around 75 with mainly transit flights through doha. And passengers must pass through these thermal scanners which measure their body temperature. The planes which are still flying are being disinfected after each flight and according to staff here they are fitted with a special ventilation filter i coul advice that katherine always has one of the most modern fleets in the air. Craft and got very good after tracing systems on board and weve been in the hall cleaning procedure for all our aircraft while most airlines in this part of the world have stopped their passenger flights Qatar Airways remains operational for now and Qatar Airways believes that the future of air travel will largely rely on more testing of passengers what were aiming to do is to use newly developed immuno assay test kits which give you an instant answer while announced within 10 minutes but at the moment things are still fairly new theyre still in development but weve already put an order in for a significant number of these kits that we can test our crews and our arriving passengers. As Qatar Airways continues its travel restrictions some transit passengers are still trying to make their way home in Uncertain Times this airport served more than 38000000 passengers last year but now this is how things look 40 percent of the workforce here have been told to work from home while the Health Ministry imposes strict measures on the qataris that are returning from abroad and other passengers who pass through for now what is certain is that the effects of this pandemic on the travel industry will be felt for years to come door search of ari al jazeera International Airport doha. On a British Airways is it expected to suspend 36000. 00 stuff around 80 percent of its workforce in order to try to survive the Global Pandemic the airline has already significantly reduced flights and has warned that it will still need to slash costs airlines around the world have grounded most of their fleets with some saying theyll need Government Support and. Order to survive well lets speak to any of padre he is head of the Aviation Department at university of west london and he joins us now from london via skype and you know weve been looking at the declining Aviation Industry since the beginning of this crisis from what were record numbers i believe of travelers in january to something well to this and the International Air transport association is now forecasting that revenue is going to plummet by 252000000000. 00 can the industry ever recover. And will the asian industry has been involved in crisis maybe oh not this kind of fall but theres certainly you know certain laugh a lot of crisis such as 911 the Global Economic crisis and sols and the bowler and so on. One of the limbs of hope is the industry is very resilient it tends to bounce back fairly quickly as soon as demand begins to pick up again and i suspect what will happen here is that the same thing so once there is a relaxation of restrictions on people moving around will the model come back the industry will bounce back the immediate concern really is how many of the Airlines Airports and supplies to the Aviation Industry can continue for the next few months with not much money coming in could it be not getting the cash running out and then hopefully be able to restart the operation in hopefully a few months time well neil you say its a resilient industry but living on the lockdown it seems many people have also realised that they can work remotely in attention they dont need to travel so much so has that realisation changed the face of aviation forever. Well i think business traffic represents a significant chunk in terms of revenue but its still a relatively small amount in terms of absolute numbers of past just. The bigger demand will come from leisure passengers those passengers hoping to visit Friends Family relatives around the world. The leisure passenger market will bounce back fairly quickly business traffic i mean i think you know you look back and other Technological Innovations such as Video Conferencing tools that have been around for decades hasnt stemmed the flow of business passenger traffic and you know many businesses still prefer to do business face to face and i think that even the business traffic will bounce back fairly quickly so an email but its also as weve been hearing so if theyve been having a huge impact on jobs and with less efficient older model planes being retired right now because of the lack of demand thats also i believe going to affect pilots who train on specific models so what happens now for people who work in the industry. Well as you mentioned British Airways will be asking some 36000 employees to stay home or believe theyll be on richs d salaries as well is a tough time and i think its one of the risks of working in the Aviation Industry is flying you have a situation like this because the Profit Margins are quite thin for the Airline Industry has it impact and i think we also need to understand that its not just the Airline Industry but its the airports its air Traffic Control organizations its the hundreds of suppliers the supply services to the line in the play that are all impacted here as well so its a difficult time for the employees but i think you know the reality is that many of these people will return back to work and they will continue and in my opinion this is a small blip in the history of aviation lol and i suspect that the towards the end of the year we will see a return to normality well many of them let me ask you thing as youre sounding quite optimistic is there any kind of an upside to this could this potentially result in an even more efficient perhaps and even more green aviation sector. Well at the moment obviously for aircraft not flying so poor theres been significant reduction d in the number of flights and so the contribution of aviation to the environment is substantially lower at the moment. Remember these airlines have aircraft of the are available i mean they are all you know parked in several locations around the world at the moment because its difficult to find an airport where you can park all u. S. Craft. In a single location but these airlines with you know get these aircraft back operating fairly quick. And you know they do ok you could argue that there is some sort of environmental benefit for the next few weeks and months whilst aviation operations are down but what i suspect will happen is there will be a significant increase in demand so an incredible upsurge and i think for the Aviation Industry it wont happen straightaway so you know as operations return back to normal it will return back to our present normality straightaway will happen in stages and phases. But certainly towards the end of the day will see a spike in demand for travel and that will continue into next year as well because i think in many cases people who are planning to go on holiday to possibly do business this summer i think are canceling their plans and there will be an incredible upsurge next summer when when tourism organizations and destinations are returned back to normality and they are proud to have that the head of aviation at the university of west london thank you for your insights on out of there and keep well lets now tend to latin america where many hospitals and morgues in ecuador are full and that means relatives of the dead are often waiting day for bodies to be collected John Heilemann has been. Yes i mean this family is stuck outside of their house because theyre dead relatives inside and has been for some time the limosine believe in and we have been waiting for 5 days were tired of calling 911 and the only thing they say is to wait to read more. Its something thats happening across quite kill in ecuador many bodies have simply been left in the streets the collapse of Funeral Services full cemeteries and a curfew has meant that many arent able to bury their dead in the thirtys are struggling to help all of the risk even though every day were getting hundreds of calls from people and guy aqil who have their dead loved ones in their houses their cars their neighborhoods others were turned back and told to take this others didnt even get ventilators or oxygen tanks. The countrys been among the worst hit by the corona virus in latin america and why a kill its largest city is at the epicenter its around 30 degrees here it doesnt quite fit the theory that he can stop it on tuesday the mayor herself in isolation with the virus announce more emergency measures in the area where you will be made or did they the 1st of the 4 large refrigerated containers direct to the passage the bodies of the people who lost their lives inside the hospitals or who also lost their lives in their homes she also promised extra beds for medical staff and emergency food kits. But many are far from happy with the national government. And this was the Health Minister to a week and a half ago she resigned saying it lacked the resources to deal with the pandemic a tough what are the relatives around his suffering living in poverty supposedly the government says that here they will help them but they give nothing everything they say is a lie everything is just blah blah blah blah meanwhile people wait outside why accuse overwhelmed hospitals not knowing if their loved ones will come out alive will be added to the long list of the dead John Heilemann how does either.

Well at the moment theyve been sequestered the police are there making sure that the fronts that already existed around that camp is being made many gaps are being sealed just make sure that for at least 14 days those people are going to stay within the camp they are of course continuing to be fed and their medical Services Continue to be extended but this is a policy that greece is trying to extend to the island camps to all refugee camps across greece when there is a case there is sequestration and thats no different from whats happening to greek communities and villages at least half a dozen have now been isolated and sequestered meaning the people who live there may not leave that community they have to stay within the community all of the eligible thats the policy of containment that greece adopted about halfway through march very early on in the coronavirus game because greece knew that it didnt have the government knew that greece didnt have the capacity for a very large number of casualties because there is only there were they were only about 500 intensive care beds available across the entire country those have now been increased to 870 but still greece doesnt have the medical resources to face a massive pandemic and fatality rates rise very sharply talk to say once a patient who has symptoms of current virus doesnt have an intensive care bed to be properly cared for and so the government took these measures early to make sure that it its slowed the spread. And try to flatten the curve as they say the statistical curve of the rate at which people become infected in that sense these refugees at its own account and not being treated any differently from anybody else increase on top of the fare for aftermath and frank you from that point on. Now a drug for treating malaria is being given to patients with 19 in senegal now the World Health Organization warns against the use of cholera queen but some senegalese doctors say its a cheap solution nicholas hack has more from the capital dhaka. Senegal and has recorded its 1st death from the global cove in 1000 outbreak. A leading figure in french football died in this hospital in the car moments before he was meant to be flown to france he came to the Infectious Disease unit with flu like symptoms and was quickly put on a ventilator doctors wouldnt confirm or deny whether they treated him with the empty malarial drug clora queen said it was been using it to treat patients infected with cove in 1000. Saying. Yes we have some good reasons not because we have. The number of people who are from this disease growing up several people have died after taking the drug without prescription in france the United States and nigeria the World Health Organization has warned the public to be cautious of the medication saying not enough tests have been done to prove its effectiveness yet china says it successfully used chloroquine for treatment but it has not made its findings public. Which countries are stocking up on both chloroquine and ventilators leaving african nations ill equipped to deal with the outbreak mali senegal and Central African republic combined have 65 ventilators for 41000000 people compare this with york city alone which has 12000 ventilators for its 8600000 residents for Council Countries chloroquine is a cheaper solution than buying ventilators but with a stock of only 800 boxes the drug is in short supply in senegal. This pandemic is revealing the weakness of governments in the face of Health Crisis because the decision to manufacture a drug or even to finance the research to find a cure against Infectious Disease is mostly in the hands of pharmaceutical companies and not african states. This pharmaceutical Factory Manufacturing chloroquine shut its operation in january it said the drug was not profitable the employees that lost their jobs want to go back in production is something yes of course because you can make. People some of the lease and. You can make it you can produce it we have the knowledge you have to put the competence you have everything while the factories management is in negotiation with the government china is offering to supply the drug in this battle to save lives the death of pop to 5 has shaken senegal and millions of sports fans in france and french speaking parts of africa where more and more people are falling critically ill.

The way disease outbreaks have impacted dense urban areas like during the flu pandemic in the early 1900 has played a role in how our cities look and run today the d. C. s in no way. Trent tend to see these in a way also to c. T. And have been planning so they. Can if the new standard not new knowledge and new c. M. E. Urban planners reacted to that flu and other outbreaks changing how cities were zoned and led to updated infrastructure like ventilation and improved sanitation but after whats been learned from pandemics and their influences on our skylines and way of life we also need to keep pace and adapt its easy to assume that cities are Fertile Ground for spreading viruses and diseases millions living working at commuting in such tight conditions but one expert says its about much more than just the density its about how all this was put together and how its run theres even a. Very clear and it was. Creating the same density is the problem it is something is much more about the design and management of. That its really me the story so for now in those communities with few resources a great deal of responsibility rests with people like the tom a lot of. Everything we do we do to control and make sure the safety in our community.
