Ok i may take it on the us president continues to tout a medication that is not proven to treat coronavirus and poses potentially dangerous side effects. And will explore the idea of immunity passports for people who for cover even though questions do remain about resistance. And sport can be bright reseize one of basketballs highest honors a former n. B. A. Superstar who died in a Helicopter Crash earlier this year is been inducted into the leagues all say. The beginning europe or crown of virus numbers are giving some cause for hope spanish Officials Say another 674 people have died there and yes that is awful but its the 3rd day in a row that the death row has all in from 100. But that all and by 135. 00 from the previous day the infection rate is also slowing it has announced another 621. 00 deaths which like spain is fewer than the day before warmer weather though is drawing people out of their homes in the u. S. President donald trump says americans should prepare for the toughest week yet lets go to the web tracker now from Johns Hopkins university it says the u. S. Has by far the most cases more than 312000 globally 1200000 have been infected almost 253000 have recovered about 66500 have died so right now we have mark to herero standing by in madrid well go to her in just a moment 1st lets go to john hall who is in london so jonah what is the latest with the numbers what the trends are and the possibility that restrictions may be tightened. Well i mean look the daily increase in the death toll announced an hour or so ago in this in this country is 621. 00 which of course is an enormous figure but its worth noting that the day before was 780 to the 2 days before that when the lake 600 steadily increasing setting new records each day this is the 1st time this week the number has actually gone down its not a trend of course its also worth noting that the way these figures are calculated is interesting they refer to deaths in the previous 24 hours but not necessarily deaths that have actually happened in that period but have been recorded in that period and some time has taken been taken perhaps to notify relatives and so on so it doesnt provide an absolutely accurate timeline of the rate of increase but nevertheless it is of course a good thing rather than a bad thing that the numbers have come down you know on this day john hall with the latest there from london thank you very much so lets go to mark to herrera who is in madrid so marto what are the numbers there in spain what are the trends that were seeing. Well the spin figures reflect a slow down trend the figures released today by the Home Ministry reflect a total of 10130000 infections from corona virus and 6000 new positives in the past 24 hours based in the case that we are entering a phase a phase of this i believe sation and this Prime Minister better santa quoted yesterday the country is quote close to passing the peak of infections we have a death toll of 12400 with sept 674 new fatalities seems yesterday and this is the lowest number in the past 10 days yes that it was time to get announced a 15 day extension of the state of emergency law down and to april 25 these mean that this doesnt mean this would be the end of the love down because this will be accented but they are studying how these are going to start lifting progressively does lock down you have to see the terms and conditions of how theyre gonna believe in that dont look down but it was something also said that this london has how to start to do to stop the outbreak of the pandemic and has its also helpful to to contain this outbreak and to help Health Care Workers to to sorry to to to recover from the hope the Health Care Services so marta where do things stand with with Health Officials having the the proper equipment that they need. Well today we know that we have received over 1000000. 00 trace masks they were planning minister was planning to to to make mandatory that use a face mask but were running out of face masks and test kits which is very very important to indicate what people are infected without coronato symptoms and now the focus the Spanish Government is focused in facing and trying to to to detect who is infected of coronavirus and their planning how to in several in different regions of spain how to isolate all these people weve grown up virus that have present symptoms of symptomatic so they can isolate them in hostile hotels in Exhibition Centers so the main focus right now the Spanish Government is bringing many to spain face much disbelieving face masks and test kits and detect which people have the ground which have which people are infected by corona virus with without him seem to ok with the latest there from spain at madrid Marta Herrera martha thank you very much iran is reporting another 151 deaths but also a decrease in new infections for the 5th day in a row or another positive development some iranians are being loud to go back to work next week same as robbie has more from tehran. Weve heard from Health Officials over the last few days and weeks that things can go back to normal too soon but the president when he made this announcement president rouhani began by saying that all branches of government are onboard with the plan that they have moving forward so making it clear that the government is according to him speaking in one voice despite the warnings of normalizing too quickly from Health Experts saying that that could bring on a 2nd wave here president Hassan Rouhani did say that in terms of the details of what is considered low risk and high risk those announcements will be made over state t. V. In the coming hours but we can surmise that what they consider low risk is anything that doesnt compel too large of a crowd to form people can work from home they can open Small Businesses remember this country is a place where the majority of businesses are small to medium so really those environments will begin to see life coming back to life returning to some kind of normal he said that even though those shops and other organizations may begin to start their engines again they have to observe Health Protocols social distancing that still has to be the key element of how to go about doing this its always been a balance between fighting a Public Health crisis and making sure the countrys economy does not go bust and he also acknowledged that iran and iranian people are still operating in unknown territory they dont know whether or not this will continue for a long period of time whether the country will become a kind of reservoir for the virus so he said things will be taken one step at a time but we have to remember that the countrys main concern all along has been that the virus might do what sanctions could not which is bring the countrys economy to a standstill and thats really what theyre trying to fight against at this time i thought of the day as professor of moral studies at the university of tehran says the government is trying to strike a balance between Health Measures and avoiding economic ruin. Illegal sanctions that iran is facing from the United States is hurting irans economy and one thing the government wants to make sure is you dont want people hurting economically so much that are not going to be able to recover from it so the basic idea is to find that balance of making sure the economy functions at limited level and at the same time youre not in danger in peoples lives finding that balance and answering that question is meant to be a disagreement on these issues in all countries in. The United States and europe expats who disagree with each other and they have the same thing you dont have disagreements it is not a king them people disagree they object you never know tomorrow all day after tomorrow the president could come and say that extend the Current Situation for one week this is this has happened before he has done this before said hes going to ease restrictions then he didnt do it so i think you have to wait and. Iraqs extending its nationwide curfew for 2 weeks the streets of baghdad remain unusually quiet most Public Places are closed and soldiers have been deployed to enforce the law police have arrested hundreds of people for violating the restrictions early 60 deaths have been reported and more than 800 infections in the libyan Prime MinisterMahmoud Jibril has died from the virus hes been quarantined in a cairo hospital since being diagnosed late last month to reel at the antigovernment protests that ousted longtime leader Moammar Gadhafi in 2011 he was later appointed Prime Minister and head of the National Transitional council. Malaysian Authorities Say they are concerned that people smugglers are still operating despite the coronavirus pandemic after more than 200. 00 were injured refugees arrived illegally on the island. They say they were taken there by a human smuggling ring the men accused of taking them escape before arriving and Malaysian Waters a 2nd refugee camp has been quarantined near athens after a 53 year old man tested positive for grown up iris about 1800 People Living in the last camp are being screened johns raw place is in athens and says the greek government is incredibly worried about the number of refugees and migrants who could become sick. This is the 2nd camp thats been placed and locked in a space of just 3 or 4 days as a result of a positive test the great concern here is to the greek government is to move with speed because this camp holds about 1800 people the entire thats more than the entire infected population in greece right now which stands at 1673 so you can see how that such a camp with People Living in close quarters might very quickly overwhelm medical authorities by doubling the number of infections and the fact that this is the 2nd camp is also of concern the 1st one proved to produce about 24 cases 24 infections partly because all sources were lucky the 1st case was a pregnant lady who gave birth in athens hospital and was diagnosed by a stroke of luck while she was giving birth speed therefore with the camps is key so that you can quickly isolate the families that are affected and prevent it from spreading to the entire camp by jerry has confirmed 4 deaths and more than 200 cases of crono. Virus its place people like me in camps across the Northeastern Region are particularly vulnerable as the outbreak spreads the u. N. Says its working with nigerian officials to develop a merchant response plans and not address is a nigerias capital of asia where he tells us about the difficulties authorities are facing. The major problem is the absence of enough testing kits only a few with 1000 people have been tested so far and the government as we speak now is tasting after thousands of people came in contact with people who have been infected with the coronavirus in nigeria suck the government may have defeated it borne some years back when there was an outbreak in west africa some of these struck just asked in place but a major outbreak not because of the virus in nigeria that was felt unless the government has some assistance outside the country the government told us just yesterday that they expected some chinese medical experts to come in to help with the with the with the with the with the control of the of of the current of the outbreak in nigeria and theres been some fumigation efforts going on in major cities in nigeria some states have locked down the states from travel from people coming in either by road or by at will by sea but the federal government imposed a lockdown on that he made to states the Federal Capital which is subject that made him a ghost which is the commercial capital of nigeria and a neighboring state in the southwest of the country where weve seen in seoul so some infectious rising so so far the you know going to governments that its doing all it can to control the spread of this modest but it will definitely need some assistance outside. South sudan has now confirmed its 1st case of the crime of iris as president bashar said a 29 year old woman infected with the virus arrived from ethiopia and february she is now being treated in isolation its the latest african nation to report a case during the outbreak. The Public Health. Tested and. It is. In an individual. Sense pick presented to the u. N. Clinic on the 2nd 220. And should miss. The government. Members of the public who strictly. Social distancing that of the Roman CatholicChurch Pope Francis has held celebrations in a practically empty saying peters basilica its a most unusual celebration of the holy week in history eventually usually held in a huge square right outside filled with thousands of people and this is how palm sunday looked in jerusalem where the traditional mass procession was also called off it was streamed online instead the cathedral itself only allowed 10 people to attend in person on sunday commemorates the time that christians believe jesus arrived in jerusalem and tens of thousands of palestinian workers in israel are returning home before the jewish passover holiday but with increasing numbers of infections in israel the Palestinian Government is warning of the disaster of those workers dont isolate themselves when they arrive in abraham asked for from the occupied west bank. Palestinian leaders say theyve managed to control possible sources of virus infections except one tens of thousands of palestinian workers in israel. At 1st the Palestinian Government and israel asked those who commute daily from the occupied west bank not to do that and remain in israel for a few weeks but scenes like these angered palestinians israeli buses leaving workers showing carona like symptoms by the side of palestinian roads that and the growing number of infections in israel led the Palestinian Government to ask workers to return home. Jobber oday a father of 6 came back to his village of their ahmad. Hes in quarantine now with 8 other workers. Are israeli employer was cain on having us work at 1st otherwise he would have replaced us and they would have harmed us financially lysa he asked us to leave and the workers storms the. Most workers have israeli permits and travel to israel and its illegal settlements through military checkpoints others sneak through by roads in the hills its almost impossible for the Palestinian Authority to track all arrivals Community Based committees especially in the mood villages or helping with movement restrictions. So far the Palestinian Authority is trying to organize medical checkups for returning workers those who test positive for the virus are taken into compulsory Quarantine Centers while others are asked to self i salute. And weve asked israel to test workers for infections or that they allow them to come back in separate groups so that we can give them the medical services they need. Workers in israel poor men own 20 percent of the palestinian workforce with more people now asked to stay home they are already weak government is holding its Daily Briefing on crime to viruses Health Secretary matt hancock lets not lets listen and of course theres now the police in force against them theyre not rules that anybody would want to have in place but there are rules that need to be in place and everybody must follow them and stay at home wherever possible and less for those for d reasons and we Crystal Clear about that and we have weve set those those rules when force integrates those rules and we reiterate those rules because that is the best way to be able to bend the curve down and stop the spread of the virus Alex Thompson from channel 4. A good afternoon to you both youll be aware that in the last few hours an urgent directive has gone out to enter just ice youve got to sue the effect that if hospitals are using a lot of oxygen machines the entire oxygen supply to the hospital can fail see power face mask ventilators right through to operate you think says so what is being done to address that critical problem and more widely we understand 3 hospitals in the past few days have come close indeed to running out of oxygen whats being done to increase supply street sure that doesnt happen coming days weeks when clearly the number of patients willing groups yes this is this is a very important operational question we have adequate supplies of the oxygen thats needed in hospitals we need to of course make sure that each hospital has that available we we have had an equipment failure as i think you referenced. And we therefore had to divert some ambulances but this is the normal operation of the n. H. S. When there are things like equipment failures of course interest in it is heightened because of the nature of coronavirus but the supply of the quantity of oxygen and supply of oxygen is something that weve been working very hard on and we have a very high degree of confidence in the supply of oxygen is going to think this is just going to add actually some comments that i think professor steve powell made a few days ago which is actually to signal that this is a positive sign in most cases if you have a whole system where its unusual in the u
