A wave of anger in lebanon protesters defy a pandemic lockdown to take aim at the banks of the economy for the weekends but is even disease in its lockdown after 4 days and 4 weeks of restrictions on some businesses reopening. We are starting in the u. K. This getting a clearer picture actually of the scale of coronavirus related deaths at least in england and wales now the official the office for National Statistics has released the latest numbers which include those whove died outside of hospitals it says the actual death toll in the week leading up to april 17th was much higher than the government figures indicated john hall is in london covering this one says these updated numbers will leave many feeling quite on. Well i think its very worrying its a very revealing and potentially quite shocking to the British Public has been receiving a daily death toll that reflects numbers of people dying in hospitals only without a clear picture of those people who have died of code 90 in their own homes in the community and particularly in care homes and social care settings the office of National Statistics putting out their numbers on the Tuesday Morning and now throughout this crisis of deaths across all of those sectors and across all causes of death as well and then comparing and narrowing down to those that have coded 19 on the death certificate they indicate that they running total up to april the 17th as an 11 day lag time in all of this the running total of deaths that have coded 19 on the death certificate was joint 21284. 00 as of april the 17th if you compare that to the official number being put out by the government and the n. H. S. Of deaths in hospitals at the same time it was 13917 suggesting that the actual picture as of the 17th of april was 35 percent worse than the public were being made aware of and within all of that one sector particularly badly hit the care sector registered some 5 and a half 1000 deaths which is a pretty shocking figure if you consider the relative size of the population within care homes as opposed to the population at large well move on to spain where the Prime Minister is expected to present a plan for restrictions to be further eased children were allowed outside to play for the 1st time in 5 weeks just a couple of days ago spot the nationwide lockdown span its been hit hard 23000 deaths and close to a quarter of a 1000000 infections is not the herero in madrid she says restrictions will be aged gradually. Spain has lost half a 1000000 jobs during this period of time and so the necessity of restarting spains economy is really urgent this is what. It is doing today hes percentage. Deescalation plan were entering the 2nd phase of this of spains lock down and what we know so far about this the escalation plan is that the Prime Minister has requested the 17 out of the most regions here in spain to be read to ready to double their intensive care units capacity and be able to isolate or coronavirus patients if needed these these deescalation phase case is going to be slow its going to be gradual its going to be a sea match what do we mean by a symmetric it means that you wont be the same depending or one of what region you are in and it will be coordinated from Central Government in words of Prime Minister. Who will have same rules but different speeds all of these will be related to the number of people in fact all these measures will be reflected in these figures as we know so they will be tracking monitoring the number of infections if they go up or decrease for today up to 4 today in the last 24 hours both numbers will figures a death toll on a number of people infected have gone down a rochelles are reporting a big daily rise in corona virus infections more than 6400. 00 of them that raises the total to nearly 94900. 00 deaths but amber of confirmed cases has almost doubled in just 8 days. We moved to lebanon where one protesters died after clashes with Security Forces. These demonstrations against the governments handling of the economy that turned violent on monday night in the capital beirut and tripoli people defied the coronavirus lockdown throwing bombs and vandalizing banks lets check out how it is now in tripoli in northern lebanon. Well tension in the streets come out as you can see behind me people gathering outside by the banks that made vandalize last Night Protests turned into riots there is really a lot of anger in the city 11 on the 2nd largest city but at the same time its most impoverished city the level of poverty is on the rise unemployment is on the rise this is a problem that began months ago the economic crisis is not new yes it was made worse by the lockdown imposed to try to prevent the spread of coronavirus but these people have been suffering for years there blaming the government for their economic hardships which really has been made worse by the collapse of the local currency now you can see the Lebanese Army arriving after the scene of the Lebanese Army was involved in confrontations with the antigovernment protesters last night you mentioned earlier a protester was killed according to his family he was shot with live ammunition there still has been no statement from the army concerning the specific incident apart from the fact that there are blaming quote instigators for. Damage think public and private property so the situation as you can imagine is quite tense this is an economic problem. And. Like i mentioned the leader of the local currency that lost 60 percent of its value in the past week rapidly prescience the majority of the lebanese people earn their money in local currency and now we heard from the economy minister just a short while ago and he said inflation is up by 50 percent and this is the economy minister of a new government which is supposed to come up with a plan a plan to rescue the economy so far it hasnt been able to do so its been blaming the central bank as well hasnt it zain i heard the Prime Minister saying that i wonder how people feel about that if its just this government trying to pass the buck already. Well antigovernment protesters are venting their anger at both the banks the Financial System the central bank concluded but theyre also blaming the political elite they say if its not enough to blame the banks which have imposed capital controls and deny people access to all their savings because of a shortage of dollars theyre blaming the political in the fridge has been governing this country for decades for mismanaging for wasting public funds mansoul those in the opposition say the government is using the central bank as a scapegoat and instead of going after politicians on the problem is this Political Tension is lessening the problem because the government is blaming the opposition of tempering with Financial Stability and scenario the collapse of the currency in order to topple it while you have those in the opposition who are saying what the authorities are what the authorities are trying to do is that eliminate the political opposition and take full control of that as you say all of them know that it is a power struggle in this kind of thing on the political level and on the street as you guys youve been seeing. A lot of tension so what do you need just anyone just joining us now is i know looking at these pictures that youre creeping heading up this. Straight explain to us whats going on with. Members out on the streets there. Well the army has been saying for months now they will allow the people to leave demonstrate in the streets it is their right peaceful demonstration but once people start. Damaging public and private property then they will intervene those in the street say the army has been using Excessive Force arresting the protesters and the army is response really is we will not allow you to battle lies so you can see the pictures here a. T. M. Cash machines damaged vandalised really riots last night. There was chaos in the streets of. This city the 2nd largest in lebanon so that is the position of the army were not clear where the army is heading to or whether this is just a routine patrol. Flexing their muscles really or telling the people not to attempt any. Any form of vandalism were just gonna have to wait to see how this pans out how. Great stuff from the and her team there out on the streets of tripoli as tensions rise between the people of lebanon and the government and the banks as well keeping a close eye on that one u. S. President donald trump meanwhile has renewed his attacks on china for its handling of the coronavirus pandemic he says his administration is conducting serious investigations into just what happened we are not happy with china we are not happy with that whole situation because we believe it could have been stopped at the source it could have been stopped quickly and it would have spread all over the world and we think that should have happened so well let you know the appropriate time but we are doing serious investigations. Now to new zealand which is relaxing some of its Strict Lockdown measures which were introduced 4 weeks ago people will now be able to spend more time outside some schools and businesses will reopen as well reported just 19 deaths and more than 1100 confirmed cases or from wednesday in oakland. After 5 weeks at the highest corona virus alert level new zealand does work to a partial easing of lockdown rules until now all nonessential businesses were ordered to close now some regulations have been relaxed allowing other businesses to open like restraints and cafes for pick up or delivery only ive been hanging out for this it was welcome relief for those wanting their caffeine fix from a professional communities come out and supported us which is fantastic a few hook ups with the website this morning but everyones been very relaxed. So its good to be open again there were also plenty of people wanting a break from the kitchen as long lines formed outside fast food outlets only a handful of new coronavirus cases are being reported in new zealand each day so the government believes the time is right to begin relaxing the rules but the message remains for most people stay at home there is no widespread undertake to Community Transmission in new zealand we have won that battle but we must remain vigilant if were to keep it that way that includes safely returning more new zealanders to a neighboring more businesses to reopen now allowing some of the recreate to police weve missed and the past 4 weeks now its a balancing act for new zealand and countries in a similar position trying to avoid a resurgence of the virus while getting the economy moving again key to that is restarting stalled Infrastructure Projects and as the alert level was lowered construction workers were able to pick up the tools again under alert level 3 the government expects around 400000 people to return to work which will of course provide a big boost to the economy after 5 weeks of inactivity but there is a sense that even though new zealand has managed to control the virus so far economically the worst may be still to come thousands of jobs are linked to tourism and right now the border is closed the governments own modeling says the worst Case Scenario could see up to 26 percent unemployment restrictions.
