Joins me from the spanish capital madrid looking at these new figures and i know we speak every day about the trajectory of this but is there any kind of a sense of where the peak might actually be in spain. Well in the session we were serving as a glimmer of light with the last day they were lucian of the number of infections in the past 3 days we went from a 13. 7 percent down to our 9. 00 of infections yesterday of course in a virus in spain but the news is that today those those figures have increased weve got a total of 9200. 00 people infected by corona virus the in spain out of a total of 94000. 00 people the death toll right now is of 8100. 00 with a 449. 00 more that people from corona virus this is the worst the total the we have and. The tories are saying that these might be due to the weakened effect. Let me ask you how our Health Care Workers theyre coping i mean resources are stretched so thin at this stage how are they doing.

Protective met predicted up with them and proper equipment and for what weve seen in the past days weve seen airplanes arriving with tons of equipment that have been supplied and delivered so maybe this iteration is getting a little be better in spain in this Field Hospital that their army built in like 24 hours in an Exhibition Center and in the in the morgue in the ring that was billed as somewhat because the moon useable funeral home was completely overwhelmed so it looks like things are getting a little bit better for them but lets see what happens in the next day its and well continue watching very closely Martin Herrera there for us in madrid thank you martha.

But the confirmed positive cases are now more than 100000. 00 where the growth that appears to be a little slower than last week the daily increase in is constantly under the 8 percent now and the recovery is have never been so many so there is again a ray of hope even though we know that these numbers are not completely accurate and as i was listening to martha her it seems there is pain is happening something really close to what what happened here in italy especially low body according to the latest forecasts based on Different Research is italy could reach its peak in 7 to 10 days see the new cases hitting 0 in the 1st 2 weeks of may of course though is still a long way to go we know that the restrictive measures are working because are probably saving thousands of lives new studies are confirming this but we probably all italian people expected the curve of the contagion to flatten earlier d than this when all of this began but the lockdown when the law was implemented we thought that 2 weeks would have been may be enough to see some huge result but actually 23 days after the beginning of the lockdown were still very far from from seeing. A solution. Now a 12 year old child who tested positive for corona virus has died in belgium doctors say that the girl had a fever for 3 days and called her death a very rare occurrence more than 700 people have died from the virus in belgium and the girl who has not been named is the 1st child victim in the country now the World Health Organization is calling on Asian Pacific countries to stay vigilant in their fight against the pandemic the warning comes amid further travel restrictions in japan and another set of infections in singapore nearly 1000 people in the city states now have the virus from 3 reports.

Lets get the latest on developments across asia training here is live in beijing for us katrina china where you are is obviously very keen to get its economy back on track but it doesnt seem very likely awful the rest of the region ready. Thats why its going to be a struggle according to the world bank across the east Asian Pacific region it says that this pandemic has caused an unprecedented shock to these economies and to demonstrate the scale of this impact weve received some figures from them so last year chinas g. D. P. Growth was 6 point one percent according to official figures but the World Bank Says this year because of the outbreak that will be harder more than half to 2 point 3 percent and a worst Case Scenario is that that growth could slow by as this was 0 point one percent and for the rest of the region it was 5. 8 percent last year and this year it will be 2 point one percent according to the world bank and potentially even slower to minus minus half a percent and equally when it comes to poverty as we heard in that package previously millions could be plunged into poverty before the pandemic 35000000. 00 people were expected to be lifted out of poverty because of it 24000000. 00 at least will stay in poverty and an additional 11000000. 00 could be plunged into poverty and this is really bad news for china because this was supposed to be a banner year for the Chinese Government 2020 was the year that they promised to eliminate poverty from the entire country thats People Living on less than 5. 50 a day and according to official figures they had been making Great Strides in 2012 there were 100000000. 00 people also living in poverty in china and last year there were that number was about 6000000 but now analysts say because of this outbreak that target will be impossible to meet for china because this outbreak has had a devastating impact on chinas economy we know in february the country was brought to a standstill and Manufacturing Activity contract it for the 1st time in those 2 years but of course there are other countries in this region which are even more vulnerable to the Economic Impact of this pandemics in particularly countries which rely on tourism for example rely on trade countries which have an informal workforce and also countries which are heavily indebted so the World Bank Says for those countries the best thing to do would be really to hunker down invest in health care as well as put into place and targeted stimulus measures such as paying for people sick leave katrina you there for us in beijing thank you katrina. Well as youve been hearing japan is imposing a series of social and travel restrictions to try to stem the flow of the virus earlier i spoke to nancy snow shes a professor of Public Diplomacy at the university of foreign studies and she says shes expecting a drastic rise in the number of cases particularly in tokyo yeah i think its been quite concerning to the outside world looking at japan that you pan has played this out as if its some type of exception to the rule and just 2 weeks ago the tokyo metropolitan governor kuwait day was saying there was not a chance that the olympics would be canceled that was a loss of time and needed to wait and see go people were out under the Cherry Blossoms and they were in Mass Gatherings in the. Mega row section of tokyo where the where the blossoms were in full bloom and im fortunately that probably led to a lot of silent infection contact infection so we wont know until this coming week and just see if japan has been this exception but i doubt it and im sorry to say that but were hearing reports from italy and spain and then japan could be next especially in tokyo.
