It ok i may take it. Ill chuck continues to tout a medication that is not proven to treat the illness and poses potentially dangerous side effects. Or another rocky week looms for oil markets can saudi arabia and russia reach a truce and their price for. Began in europe or crown a virus numbers or giving some cause for hope spanish Officials Say another 674 people have died there and that is an awful number but it is the 3rd day in a row that the death toll has fallen infection rate as also slowing the u. K. s announce another 621. 00 deaths which like spain is fear of the day before warmer weather though is drawing people out of their homes and in the u. S. New york states had almost 600. 00 further deaths taking the total to about 42000. 00 came. Is there and that the u. S. Has by far the most cases of coronavirus more than 324000 the online tracker of Johns HopkinsUniversity Also shows that globally about 1200000 people have been infected almost 2 153000 africa covered in just under 68000. 00 have died as our Live Team Coverage were going to start right now this hour mike hanna is in washington d. C. To know lakas in toronto of report on a 20 percent jump in debts in canada in just a moment 1st its going to marry intimacy in london so she said im marrying 621 is the latest number of deaths that we have heard about suppose that its some sort of perspective for us and and what the government is still trying to do about this. Yes will those later those figures that you mention are very much in the expectations of the anticipation is that the number of new cases of the virus and the number of hospital admissions sadly also the number of deaths are expected to rise in the coming days and weeks as the virus as the epidemic is expected to reach its peak in the country but of course that is something that the government is trying to suppress suppress through social distancing measures so course the idea is that you dont have a sudden surge of people all getting sick at the same time and overwhelming the capacity of the Health Care System and that is why we had another a very robust message from the government today about respecting social distancing measures because as the weather starts to improve the fear is that youre going to have more people coming out also as the the easter holidays are upon us that you will have more people venturing outside and that means that the progress that we have seen might be lost because there has been a dramatic pull in the use of public transport the government has been showing us these slides all week showing that there are fewer people out also the Health Secretary matt hancock saying that by and large these social distancing measures are being respected but it appears as though there is a very clear minority of people who are ignoring the rules and that could be on the rise its very difficult to know whether this is happening on a large scale its very difficult to know how widespread this is but the government was concerned enough today to say that if this continue to happen that they would have to look at taking further action. Can you also tell us what what you know about whats happening in italy. Yes well so just as the u. K. And the u. S. Is about to enter very tough weeks ahead there might be some signs of recovery in italy as you were saying the number of new and the number of deaths recorded on sunday stood at 525 and thats actually the lowest level for that figure in about 2 weeks so perhaps some sign that the situation appears to be Getting Better but really you cant underestimate the toll this crisis has taken on a chile has been the hardest hit country in europe by the coronavirus that suffered the most deaths from coma 19 than any other country in the world so while its positive that contagion is slowing were not likely to see these restrictions being immediately left it and certainly the Health Minister in its he has made it clear that some form of social distancing is that likely to remain in place and that will eventually be supplemented with things like Contact Tracing with the use of smartphone apps and Digital Technology in this is going to be very important Going Forward in really isolating and identifying specific cases of covert 19 to stop it to try and identify those cost as a cases before it becomes a wave of infections so really its going to be a transition into a new normal because of that fear that there could be another wave of infection until of course there is a vaccine for those and theres no way of knowing when that might be ok Maryanne Demasi with the wrap it there from london mary thank you now to new york state and the u. S. Which has reported nearly 600. 00 deaths and over a 1000 new infections the Governor Andrew Cuomo gave this at the. Number of its is up thats the bad news its 44259. 00. And we pray for each and every one of them and their families. And that is the worst news but the number of deaths over the past has been dropping for the 1st time what is the significance of that. Its too early to tell ok mike hanna joins us live now from washington d. C. So mike tell us give us a broader picture of what the governor is saying about what is happening in new york or the new york state governor saying there that the death toll once again an acceptable however as he points out it is for the 1st time that this death toll has dropped in the 24 hour period he makes very clear as you heard that its too early to draw any clear conclusions from those he says the statisticians tell them that he what they want to the details from the days ahead to be able to understand what is happening now he said that it may well be a 8 picks in the infection with the new york state possibly even a plateau as he puts it stressing though that this is still too early to tell however he did provide another statistic that may well prove a significant and that is that 78 percent of those who had been admitted to hospital with the virus have now been discharged so that rate is climbing as well so although its a major epidemic within new york state and indeed neighboring states like new jersey the governor of new york cautious in terms of seeing perhaps a change in the pattern that the state has been suffering under for so many weeks ok so mike tell us about the patterns and some of the other hot spots in the u. S. Well the u. S. Surgeon general has issued a bleak warning in the course of the day saying that this could be the peoples pearl harbor moment the 911 moment he says that this could be will be the worst week in the lives of Many Americans and that is once again looking towards the apex of the pandemic hitting in a number of areas at the same time areas like louisiana theres been a 20 percent increase in infections the new orleans has a higher death rate per capita than new york city in illinois once again the struggling the governor there saying theres simply not enough testing being done its unclear exactly what the trends are without that absolutely essential testing the governor once again being very critical of the federal government for not providing enough test kits not providing enough equipment very sickly saying that the states are being left to fight this pandemic by themselves the federal government has been insisting that yes state governors are at the front line of combating the pandemic the federal government is there to back up but hearing from the governor of illinois there theres simply not enough backup happening and certainly not enough to be able to establish trends to be able to gather enough data to see where this pandemic is going what geographical location and the rate of infection in particular places all of these as the governor of illinois absolutely essential to be able to understand how best to counteract the spread of this virus ok mike hanna with the wrap up their friendly last in washington d. C. Mike thank you. Other never People Killed by the crime the virus in canada has just by 20 percent to 258 and one day canada has appealed to volunteers to support Frontline Health care workers and is offering full time jobs to reservists and on saturday the Prime MinisterJust Announced millions of medical masks would be arriving from china lacked joins us live now from toronto so daniel how are official that in canada reacting to these these new numbers what they did earlier last week late last week was prepare us for this if you will they released modeling that theyre acting upon to encourage social distancing to test and Everything Else and that modeling did lay out some stark numbers of deaths so when you get these one day jumps like this people of course are shocked and its tragic and its acknowledged it all but weve been warned is what officials here would say the other thing thats happened is that canada has also managed to ramp up its testing rapidly its now got one of the higher testing rates in the world one in every 100 roughly 100 people has been receiving 1000 testing so the data that canadian officials are working with is pretty good they say theyre using this to tell us they are everywhere else stay home dont be in touch with each other except over technology and try to minimize Shopping Trips and exercise so you dont go where other people are socially isolated theyre saying but basically this one day increase is something theyll be very concerned about a lot of its happening in elderly care homes and when news of that comes out it does have a very sobering effect on people who are reading it and possibly worried about their elderly relatives absolutely the Prime Minister just in print he has said he is determined to get President Trump to lift export restrictions on medical masks how can he do that. Well at 1st there was some indication they might retaliate against the United States in some sort of trade related way or stopping nurses travelling across the land border to work in u. S. Hospitals thousands of nurses and other medical personnel do that in certain border communities but hes backed off on that and said theyre going to use diplomacy work their contacts in the United States and also with at the same time wide no candidate is personal protective equipment procurement policies it emerged today that canada has rented a large warehouse in china that is being run by canadian officials accumulating masks and other things and trudeau as you reported has said that millions of masks are on the way well be here within 24 hours to 48 hours its not yet overwhelming the Health Care System here social isolation does seem to be being observed quite widely but officials are sensitive to all aspects of this and are working you know probably as intensely in heart as all of their counterparts around the world on this daniel lack the latest thank you very much daniel former libyan Prime Minister but major breal has died from the virus he had been quarantined in a cairo hospital since being diagnosed late last month to pale at the antigovernment protests that alstad longtime leader more market off in 2011 it then became head of the National Transitional council iran is supporting another 151 deaths but also a decrease in new infections for the 5th consecutive day another positive development some iranians are being allowed 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 on board 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 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. Thats part of the crime a virus has been relatively low an africa but the African Union predicts the pandemic could lead to the loss of more than 20000000 jobs a study shows that continents economy could shrink by one percent this year and Foreign Investment gets up by 15 percent trade their fair made to buy up to 35 percent which would lead to a loss of more than 270000000000. 00 and the tourism and Oil Industries could see losses in the billions of dollars in our case for nigeria close to 2000000. 00 People Living in camps heart risk of infection theyve all been made homeless by years of war with the armed group okocha rob many reports from a boucher. A sprawling county for the displaced in my degree its one of dozens dotting the landscape of the old east in nigeria. And some of the camps aid workers hand out soup and water to the restraint personal hygiene as Coronavirus Infection sent deaths reported people complained very well. As you can see the security is at the gates rides around trying to in fact i even say to somebody who wanted to get access to the calm and then to fasten actually declined. And of course he was denied access. But the residents here on the northeast with some having to wait in lines to fetch Drinking Water overcrowding is another major problem making social distancing almost impossible. When theres no support or any donation that will encourage hygiene and Healthy Lifestyles but yet they are still making emphasis on coughing executes good personal hygiene so how do you expect the less privileged in the camp to cope with this situation. We are always praying that through we can do this is a test from almighty goat so we ought to accept it with good faith. 10 years of war with boko haram the Group Fighting against nigerias army has forced more than 2 and a half 1000000 people from their homes into camps like this. The United Nations and i was to make this response may just mitigate the spread of coronavirus among the most vulnerable in the northeast but organizations such as Doctors Without Borders say the situation in the camps is dire its made worse by the continuing bull quantum attacks not only in northeastern nigeria but in neighboring cameroon chad and issued a public.
