In the u. K. Millions of workers and National Health Service Staff have become eligible for coronavirus testing if they show symptoms of the illness the british governments made testing a key part of its strategy to fight the pandemic but its facing criticism over the slow rollout of testing lets get more now from the u. K. Rory chalons is in london for us rory i understand youre one of the drive through testing stations in london just give us a brief overview of this move towards testing so many front line workers. Yet with a view that you can see behind me at the moment well in the background its twickenham rugby station the home of english rugby in normal times of course that building there would be hosting high level high profile rugby matches and pop concerts etc but of course none of that is going on at the moment so the car park here has been turned into one of the several mobile Testing Centers a century drive through senses people can come in their cars theyll pull in here theyll go around a queuing system and those tents in the background they will have. Taken and in a few days they can receive a result for whether they have or havent got covert 90 now. Announcement from the government is that. The type of people who can now use these centers has just increased massively previously it was it was no says it was is now anyone who is considered to be an essential worker and that includes Police Offices that supermarket workers thats people in the Justice System is teaches is delivery drivers any of those people who think that they might have the disease well they come local government websites they can enter their details. And they will be sent by text or email an invitation to either come down to one of these places here or perhaps to receive home testing kits although as we said at the moment those are in fairly short supply so this expands that the amount of people who can get testing to maybe 10000000 or so rory this of course is good news as far as some of the key frontline workers are concerned that the government still under a lot of pressure about this scale of testing for the public generally that is able to do. Yes it is and National Scandal here one of the several surrounding seen of course as a supply. Which is another one. Yet testing has been has been pretty sluggish here certainly when you compared to countries like germany which is much greater emphasis on testing so there is a sense here that the government has been playing catch up it has pledged to reach 100000 tests being done every day by the end of the month now lets look at where we are the moments the number of tests actually done in the u. K. Yesterday was i think around 23 and a ha thousands the government is saying that it has the capacity to be doing 50000 a day but then it gets into questions of some antics and thats one thing that the government is being picked up on by the opposition when you say capacity well that doesnt really mean the number of tests being actually doing a day so lets concentrate on that lets concentrate on the number of tests actually being performed and it still seems that the government is languishing behind we dont know yet whether it has the chance of reaching its target of 100000 a day by the end of the month. Bringing us up to date the situation in the u. K. Really thanks very much indeed. Indonesias governments announced it will temporarily ban all air and sea travel until june to control the covered 900 a break. The measures come into effect on friday the start of the muslim holy month of ramadan despite the government warnings of social distancing many are still attending prayers indonesia is the worlds most populous muslim nation. Because you know this is ramadan worship the holy reward is different if you pray at a mosque and one of the key is not touching other people so during the prayer i keep distance with other people not touching that we take care of ourselves so hopefully this way we can keep worshiping and avoid in fiction so with many countries facing locked down restrictions the pandemic is forcing some was lims to change the way they mark ramadan question mark about reports. For hundreds of years muslims used to go out into empty fields looking at the sky to figure out when the done begins these days the clerics here in pakistan and elsewhere use telescopes to get 1st sight of the new moon once spotted ramadan starts. Its the holiest month in the calendar when muslims stop eating and drinking from sunrise to sunset. The fasting allows worshippers to devote themselves to their fate and remember the sufferings of the poor. But during the unprecedented coronavirus emergency muslims are abandoning many of the dance traditions and rituals. They wont be able to invite their loved ones the neighbors or the 4 to join the eve. Fast breaking meal known as if. 1000. 00 spreads restrictions are being forced governments have closed borders imposed curfew years lockdowns and encouraged social distancing to contain the contagion islams holiest site in mecca is usually teeming with worshippers from all over the world during ramadan its closed this year as part of the sunday governments campaign to curb the virus spread getting people everywhere to observe social distancing in one medan wont be easy the highlight of ramadan is the night of destiny where muslims believe their holy book the koran was 1st revealed to the prophet mohammad and where the gates of heaven are open muslims spend the night in contempt lation and prayers in mosques a ritual they are being asked to perform at home this time islams most sacred month meant to encourage unity praying together and breaking their fast together may end up being a month of relative solitude. Well there are fears infections in pakistan could rise rapidly during ramadan the governments decided to keep mosques open and people gathering to pray must follow social distancing measures but doctors have urged the government and Muslim Leaders to reverse that decision is joining us now from the capital islamabad come on is there any indication that the government and the religious leaders are going to be persuaded by the doctors. Well the doctors have certainly made a play and theyve said that the government and the clarity must reconsider that decision because of the threat that despair and that make go to spiral out of control as far as pakistan is concerned and they say they will not be able to handle that situation now or earlier the buggers arnies imposed a lockdown they closed all the mosque and ordered people here stairway and brick home however then they cleared a critic day took matters into their own hands started defying go in or does that put pressure on the government that they would not listen to the government and that of course led to our dog talks between the president and the cleric the government then a buckling under pressure and allowing them to hold these congregational prayers including that all repaired which i had that night and in the month of ramadan and that of god attracts a large number of people that said really a is that every days social distancing measures on your job and what we have been able to find today and that people have not been paying any attention to that some of these religious leaders who are seen in large crowds announcing the beginning of ramadan and that of course showed that did no attention being paid to Safety Measures so indeed a lot of the british there meant as far as the people are concerned and apprehension that this could all lead to an escalation and that number of corporate 19 cases head and focused on is there any indication come all the medical facilities and medical teams inside pakistan are preparing for an upsurge in covered 1000. 00 cases as a result of the. These rules the safety rules being ignored in the main. Absolutely because the frontline again they spend dead make theyre already tear down because the number of doctors have been infected and what they thing is that if the number of very high the medical philip did will be overburdened their doctor is. Getting rich and theyre getting the. Maximum caution in order to. Get it done poorly equipped medical infrastructure. And obviously the doctor daughter of rage because of the 10 day lives and their families that. Mojados talking to us from islamabad come all thanks very much indeed i want to bring in money here is a spokeswoman for the Muslim Council of britain and shes joining us from london thank you very much indeed for giving us your time i understand that the Muslim Council of Great Britain has issued its own guidelines for people marking ramadan how concerned are you that it will be very difficult to enforce those guidelines if people are determined they are going to worship together. So thank you to me in the u. K. Weve been known to look down for a number of weeks now and i think that they say this has become part of everyday life we all used to these people understand the magnitude of the situation that we find ourselves in and frankly weve seen a pretty good response by the communities taking this seriously and finding ways of adopting life in particular adopting mum of on still be spiritually im socially uplifting whilst under these conditions weve seen most across the u. K. Whats high thats the over the last few weeks to bring their services on line to the can still deliver the essential spiritual guidance during ramadan to their congregations and weve seen so many muslim led charities to prop up but that during the last few weeks to be able to help those in need it was that in communities i want to ask your opinion about what. The role of faith leaders should be at this time particularly under these circumstances with the spread of the virus weve had a great deal over the last few months from the political leaders around the world and yet faith leaders around the world seem to be very quiet very subdued or at least theyre working locally as opposed to nationally or globally do you think that faith leaders have a role to play in order on a global scale when were in the midst of this virus crisis. I think it is imperative that faith leaders you know the 10 leader is a huge 10 and a i think think leaders have a huge role to play within the communities themselves they can only really be responsible or really be seen to impact that communities and in the u. K. Weve seen a huge response by faith leaders and within the communities in the congregations and weve seen. Safely does reach out to the people who attend that most in the number of ways that julie to be able to check in with them make sure that theyre ok and help them through the anxiety that many people are facing during this pandemic and also respond to the need that you cant to adopt funerals and burial procedures why do you think it is that there is such a significant difference in the way that people observe the social distancing customs particularly at this time in Different Countries around the world as you say of course the u. K. Has been going this through this for some time but we just heard from come off that in pakistan is a very different situation ensued people seem to be ignoring the social distancing warnings it is tricky and i think in the u. K. Because there have been so many elements is made by the government to make it easy for people to social distance to. Look down with all the financial incentives an initiative that been given by the government to help people who are in need and who would struggle to stop working like weve been asked to do in other countries dont often have that luxury as in im going to money we appreciate your time thank you very much indeed for joining us on aljazeera. As all producers cope with an abundance of supply and low demand cause of other Global Pandemic the biggest saudi oil shipment in years is making its way to the United States but u. S. Politicians are calling for the tankers to be turned around because domestic oil storage in the u. S. Is expected to be filled up soon and that all reports the kingdom is trying to work out where those tankers can go if washington for fence them from docking john hendren reports. A flotilla of Saudi Oil Tankers is slowly steaming toward the United States and into a chilly welcome for a u. S. Ally is indicative of how desperate these petro states are port to sell their oil to find a place to take me to find a place to place their oil with a coronavirus driving oil prices to historic lows all u. S. Oil storage is expected to be filled in the next month this saudi move to occupy much of that precious Storage Space on the u. S. Gulf coast has been called by some industry insiders an economic pearl harbor a hostile attack on u. S. Soil a coalition of 13 u. S. Senators from Energy States goes even further calling it Economic Warfare texas senator ted cruz writes on twitter 20 tankers filled with 40000000 barrels of saudi oil are headed to the u. S. This is 7 times the typical monthly flow my message to the saudis turn the tankers the hell around cruz says the longtime u. S. Ally is exploiting a pandemic to kill the rival American Shale Oil industry some analysts say hes right what inside arabia rightfully doing as any other oil producer is to get rid of the competition and competition in this case is Expensive Oil shale oil expensive to produce. U. S. Leaders have long nurtured strong bonds with saudi leaders even since the rise of shale oil helped the u. S. Overtake saudi arabia is the Worlds Largest oil producer 3000000000. 00 the fact that saudi leaders are now willing to risk the anger of their American Allies suggests they believe the worlds oil glut wont end anytime soon with much of the world on lockdown few drivers on the road and fewer planes and ships are using fuel oil prices are so low they briefly hit negative territory this week at the chicago board of trade that left some sellers actually paying virus to take it off their hands now many producers are simply storing it and waiting for prices to rise. The u. S. Can hardly turn the ships away the saudi government owns them ot the oil refinery in port arthur texas americas biggest. Crude. Oil refinery you know. Market oil. Just by your rule even as american politicians lament the saudi incursion the ships sail ever closer john hendren aljazeera chicago brazil is reporting its highest number of deaths in a single day 407 people have died from the virus in 24 hours that takes the total to more than 3300. 00 at least half of those are in the state of south pollo the epicenter of the pandemic in brazil president jacques both has dismissed scientific advice and hes led a number of anti lockdown protests cases in ecuador have nearly doubled 222000 darfur a backlog of tests were analyzed its now the 2nd worst hit nation in the region after brazil the governments began storing bodies in refrigerated containers as morgues fill up ecuador has nearly 600 confirmed deaths. Ospital in peru are increasingly strained after cases surged past 20000 thats double the number of last week bodies are being kept in hospital hallways Health Workers say theyre being forced to reuse mosques in order why some schools in rural areas are reopening after being closed for a month but attendance wont be made mandatory the decision was made after ago i began seeing a drop in the number of daily infections. Meanwhile venezuela says robust testing and tough lockdown measures mean it has one of the lowest rates of corona virus in the world that have been just over 300 cases in a country of 29000000 people but some doctors warn the numbers are being drastically under reported reports. They see more telesales food on the streets of kut yeah i working class neighborhood in caracas the ongoing economic crisis and the lock down are having a big impact in her life. But become a bit of a sudden were only working 3 hours a day i understand they are doing it to protect our health but i am a single mother of 2 children and my eldest daughter and his son also live at home i think the situation will get worse every day. Security forces on the streets are trying to enforce a lockdown to prevent the spread of covert 19 but people are becoming more and more desperate every day. On thursday reports of looting and clashes with Security Forces in several states around the country so how dire the situation is. Covered 19 may generate fear among people but surviving every day is the main worry for many. Government figures show that venezuela has around 300 confirmed cases of covered 1000 the president says the country has tested over 200000 people with the help of the Chinese Government is a let me tell a 1000000 plus for that is the medium term goal we have to reach a 1000000 texts at this stage we carried out 250000 but we have to reach 10000000. 00 trees to comply with the complete protocol of the World Health Organization. There are 2 types of testing being done that b. C. R. That test the virus genetic material and the rapid tests that are less sensitive than the p. C. R. Thats why doctors like to say the virus may be severely underdiagnosed in venezuela that it seems to release our limitation of the amount of tests prevents you from doing lots of them but it may be greatly underreported what we think the government is doing is mixing p. C. R. Tests and rapid tests you cannot mix pairs with apples the numbers reflect different things. Venezuelan hospitals are already struggling with shortages of almost everything only 70 percent of them have Running Water and so we spoke to oscar now as a doctor in the state of fans widely he says he supports the call by Opposition Leader why though to pay extra money to Health Care Workers that fight 19 may go to school im over you if a doctor like me gets 1. 50 a month and thats why my interim president. Will use some resources to give 100. 00 a month to those who qualify and work in the Health Sector the money comes from accounts that have been recovered from the government and will be paid as virtual money for 3 months venezuelas Health Care System is already stressed to the limit the spread of covert 1000. 00 can easily make it collapse. Ill just say. Its time for the weather heres everton i understand weve got some changes in the way for europe yeah thats right rob were losing the other the writing were seeing in spite at least for a time the heat wave in scandinavia and get this right were losing the snow you have the snow in greece they say here cloud we have just moving away from grace now that produced a fair bit a stark i with the Higher Ground talking over a 1000 meters here so it was basically high but that is like the 3rd time in the month of forehead that we have seen significant snow fall across the great mountains as i said thats. In the process of pulling out of the way bright skies come back in and it will become a little a little more pleasant as we go on through the next couple of days further north up towards scandinavia see how the i suppose a lined up north to south so were pulling in cooler over the last couple of days havent seen temperatures in stockholm for example getting up to around 1718 degrees when there are 10 or 11 over the next couple of days and that cool air will gradually sink south as much of your spawn in florida lots of lovely sunshine coming through still a few showers there over northern parts of spain pushing into a poor school through the remainder of friday and i think these may become a little more widespread as we go on through saturday but for the sunshine in between as well that cloud that we have sinking down across northern parts of europe that will drain the heat will be seen in warsaw no more of the low twentys when they were 1415 degrees here as we go on through saturday in a similar value as you go on into sunday prices drop to the eastern med but theres the rain which heading to space you know as you say all change covered and thanks very much indeed still ahead on aljazeera tinkering with toys irans mr fix it and how hes bringing more than just dollars back to life.

Or disinfectants into themselves to treat coronavirus made the comments at a briefing after u. S. Officials said the virus appears to weaken more quickly when exposed to heat. Supposing we hit the body with a tremendous whether its ultraviolet or just very powerful light and i think you said that has him a check that youre going to test it and then i said supposing you brought the light inside the body you can which you can do either through the skin or. In some other way and i think you said you going to test that sounds interesting right and then i see the disinfectant but knocks it out in a minute one minute and is there a way we can do Something Like that. By injection. Or almost a cleaning because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number of so be interesting to check that so that you can have to use medical doctors with well though to oscar out in as the chip Program Officer the u. S. National association of county and City Health Officials in says its too soon to tell of warmer temperatures will have an impact on the spread of the virus. The World Health Organization others have come on board didnt really mention the need to really be very cautious as to the use of u. V. Radiation or u. V. Exposure as a disinfectant we know that it works on things such as mask and other things of a nature but when you speak about exposure of a human being in the body its not something that is fine recommend we do know that the happy life of the current a virus can be nineteenths arsk of each 2 is roughly about 2. 7 hours in an heiress life fashion that much is now in typical temperatures and at one for 65 percent relative humidity we know that the virus persistent different surfaces whether its plastic metal cardboard and on the skin and other surfaces in different different time frames what we dont know is truly the impact of seasonality is there really going to be a difference when we see sort of the summer climates or timeframes of temperatures versus the more spring like conditions or the winter conditions that some of us were coming out of now you think about that and even look at where viruses spread across all across our country our world not only in our country where you think about florida as well as new orleans which tends to have higher humidity but also the the caribbean in other parts of afghan latin america and even south in se asia which are more were more you know relatively humid and were still seeing the spread of the virus there preliminary results from mollys parliamentary election show the governing party won the most votes but not enough for an outright majority the rally from mali party won 43 of parliaments 147 seats followed by they are alliance for democracy with 22 seats voter turnout was low but election marred by threats of the coronavirus and violence from eisel and alqaeda linked groups like a hacks monitoring developments from neighboring senegal. Hes joining us now live because the turnout has being so low theres no question about how legitimate these elections are going to be. Remember last year we saw hundreds of thousands of people who could see the capital bamako protesting against the government protesting. With the fact that there is so many foreign troops there and yet the security situation is just getting from where its even worse and so that feeling among the the public hasnt been translated into the vote for out because it was the threat of armed groups during the election they called for a boycott but also because of the fear of the coronavirus where molly. Read of the virus i think. The election all that said. Yesterday now the ruling party didnt get an outright majority it fell short of that so there will be negotiations with other party fight to figure out how this National Assembly will look like but whats interesting in it for like it was a low turnout in certain places it was 90 percent turnout in the north the opposition calling foul play some of the people that one seat one was the. Former rebel and sanctioned by the u. N. Another the head of the office. Hes held captive the government says that by. Giving these problems its unclear whether this is a good image and that its at least lawful on wednesday that comes before well get together and say whether this is the final vote or not rob negates proving a little bit difficult to hear you i think because of possibly the sea and the wind behind you but let me ask you briefly what effect do you think this election is going to have on the prospects for peace given the amount of violence there. Well the idea of this election it was part of a Peace Agreement signed in 2006 b. C. The army and the government give more on their means more power to local governments when we need to change the constitution and most importantly to hold the government accountable as we see it right now doesnt seem like the government will be more accountable with the current state of the National Assembly and it come to the time as were seeing in the increase of violence notably by members or groups or armed groups that didnt sign this Peace Agreement in 2015 rob groups like the zombie state in the greater sorrow did exist in 2015 or ill tell you that really its just not the suddenly flung one with the means these groups were not signatory of the Peace Agreement now maybe its a candidate that ran for parliament for this election calls on more dialogue with these armed groups to try to find a peaceful solution. To the situation in mali which clears though for ordinary muslims is that having more troops on the ground having more french troops having more Un Peacekeeping troops in there this is the most costly peeping operation in the us history and also the deadly as well having all of these soldiers on the ground has not brought the somalis and so despite this vote there is hope that elected officials will hold the government sort of counts that they will be some sort of dialogue with these armed groups so that while these can return back to their homes theres hundreds of thousands of people displaced and also worth remembering rob that there are 4000000 people in mali right now for in need of humanitarian assistance so this election is and getting money back from to peace. In this election its part of the Peace Agreement that was signed 3 years ago rob thanks very much indeed thats nicholas hoc live for. From dakar. South africas president says he will gradually ease a nationwide lock Time Starting early next month settled on the floor as a says some violence of the economy will be allowed to reopen and has called on people to start Wearing Masks outdoors he says strict quarantine restrictions will be lifted slowly to reduce the risk of a spike in infections beyond thursday the 30th of april we should begin a gradual and phased recovery of Economic Activity we will implement what we call a risk adjusted strategy through which we take a deliberate and cautious approach to the easy of current lockdown restrictions from johannesburg pharma to miller explains what these measures will mean for South Africans. The president to use the sadrist to outline 5 key phases of a lock down or a reopening of Economic Activity and an easing of restrictions and moving from level 5 with south africa is now which is you know at the end of that spectrum the the harshest restrictions so far south africa would move to level 4 which the president has said would then still include some pretty tough restrictions for South Africans but i think the key difference would be the reopening of Economic Activity and even then companies would be forced to only allow a 3rd of their workforce at the places of employment at any given time now borders in south africa will remain closed besides repacked reate in South Africans will be no travelling between individual provinces for south africa all gatherings will remain prohibited by the government but sides funerals so there is some change but i think not the kind of relief millions of South Africans were hoping for given thats all that ricky is now entering the 5th the week of a very Strict Lockdown getting a new toy can be a source of joy for a child but in iran economic sanctions are making it harder to get consumer goods so one mans doing his best to put a smile on childrens faces simba survey has morphed into.

Still ahead on aljazeera staring into space for 3 decades we look at how the Hubble Telescope has contributed to our understanding of the universe. Time in sports well hear what europes wider cup captain has to say about the possibility of this years event taking place without spectators. That for 3 decades the Hubble Telescope has been deep into the universe and beaming spectacular images of distant galaxies back to earth as not some logs its 30th anniversary they are getting reports and how those contributions to science and how they have changed our understanding of space. 54321 draw well placed over the government place a window on the universe public is the 1st major optical telescope sent into space taking images from above the distortion of the atmosphere and Light Pollution nasa has called it the ultimate mountaintop when the possibility of a telescope in space opened up astronomers jumped on the idea scientists have used hubble to observe the most distant stars and galaxies as well as the planets in our solar system its most famous photo was taken in 1995 a socalled deep field image showing areas of the universe as they were billions of years ago during 3 decades in orbit hubble has influenced many people back on earth its my job to make things up for a living and constantly use my imagination but hubble and the dedicated scientists behind it take all of that a step further ive been fortunate to work on shows like you or val that start to like the guy i spent almost 2 decades on star trek a space is kind of my game but you know when you look at this has been gifted to us. Changes not just mine changes. Hubble orbits the earth once every hour and a half giving us a great witness in space hubble was also the 1st telescope designed to be visited in space so astronauts could carry out repairs but early in its Mission Engineers found a problem that shocked them the images sent back to earth were blurred. We dont. Just like i think. The spacecraft just going out of its misery. After 12 years of construction at a cost of billions of dollars astronauts were sent to space in 1903 to fix a faulty lens for your brother were already. Hearing. That mission was a success in fantastic images began to be transmitted back to earth when people talk about the legacy of hubble. I think among its greatest legacies will be. Helping humanity understand that you know when things go to space we can in fact theyre not its not hopeless if theres something wrong we can service them in in many cases if we make some preparation to do that but hubble does have an expiry date scientist estimate it should last another 5 years or until it solar batteries stop working until then hubble can build on its like a c. Revealing yet more images from far depths of our universe well you heard in aljazeera alan duffers an astronomer working at Swinburne University hes also the lead scientist at the Royal Institution of us truly and hes joining us now live from melbourne we really appreciate your time thank you we heard jay leno there making fun of the fact that the Hubble Telescope had problems to begin with but how much of a surprise is it that its still going 30 years later. Its an incredible surprise quite frankly the telescope was never designed to operate in space for so many decades but it was the foresight in building the capability to repair and indeed to upgrade the telescope that has kept it really at the front here of of observational astronomy its its thanks to these upgrades that we really we are celebrating this 30th anniversary of hubble but its its hardly the same telescope at all as what was launched much less than repaired and these upgrades have allowed it to stay relevant and indeed continue to push the boundaries of scientific knowledge for all of those years were used to of course now to seeing the extraordinary pictures that the Hubble Telescope provides us with how significant has its contribution to Space Science be. Look its hard to overstate the importance of the Hubble Space Telescope to knowledge discovery we think back to the the wish list that we had for hubble 2 to uncover the questions to answer and and that was before we launch and then we look in see well what were the greatest discoveries in achievements and theres absolutely no commonality at all uncovered things that we didnt even know to ask questions of we have measured the expansion of the universe itself and discovered a hidden unknown force that is driving a part of something called dark energy we have mapped out indeed the very invisible structures that hold our galaxies together with dark matter and thanks to hubble we have even got a better view of objects in our own solar system and at that time unknown moons around pluto we have potential plumes of water from a new neuron and jupiter perhaps one of the best locations for life beyond earth all of these things have been achieved by hubble and none of them were even imagined when it was started to be constructed so hubble has not just answered the questions we posed it it has created entire new rafts of questions to ask and indeed it is driven the tar community for many decades and of course is possibly the most famous telescope ever created and for that as a community we are also very grateful because it keeps us relevant in the public eye as well professor alan duffy we really appreciate your giving us the benefit of your expertise in this thank you very much and.

I think a lot of people who are in corinth seen at home want to watch football again and doing that in stadiums is probably the biggest wish for everybody but you have to focus on whats important about health and i say that as a Football Player who really misses his job so we should leave it to the experts to make a judgment about what needs doing and european ryder cup captain podger carrington says he hopes fans will be able to attend this years event if it goes ahead on tuesday world number one more email kl roy said hed rather have the contest delayed by 12 months than play without spectators your appear europe idea to take on the u.
