H. S. Saved his life so lots of gratitude there there will be a lot of relief within his cabinet that he is Getting Better of course he wont be back to work any time soon having been in intensive care but certainly the message is that hes Getting Better and given his personality nadeem offset against what his father stanley was saying a few days ago which is hes got to you know recuperate properly given poor who Boris Johnson is i guess hell be champing at the bit however to get back to work because there are issues there arent there i mean whether its dominic robb or matt hancock or pretty patel the home secretary none of that triangle of people have exactly covered themselves in glory when it comes to the fight against for different issues granted the fight against coronavirus in the u. K. Interesting point peter i mean certainly Boris Johnson knows that the government is under pressure even from its own supporters right now in terms of its response on things like p. P. Personal protective equipment for Health Workers and there have been criticisms by the families of some of the at least 19 perhaps more Health Workers who have died either in horses after working in hospitals or clinics and on saturday the home secretary pretty patel was asked if she would apologize to those families for the lack of provision she really didnt go there she said im sorry if people feel that there were failings well we know that people feel there were failings many Health Workers tell us there were failings and in fact some cabinet ministers have hinted as much in terms of the speed at which protective equipment was supplied around the country theyre saying that theyre now getting hundreds of thousands of pieces of kit to where it needs to get to urgently after arrival of a flight from turkey on friday theyre also under pressure on their messaging matt hancock you reference the Health Secretary will be holding a Daily Briefing in the next couple of hours he on friday suggested Health Workers should be using their equipment sparingly so that it could go around better where theyve been saying were having to use it to sparingly having to reuse our equipment when its just for a single use and were putting our health at risk their unions have certainly in no Uncertain Terms told the government that their members are taking their lives into their own hands now by turning up for work so there does seem to be a growing swell of call from the medical sector from the Health Workers that there really needs to be a better response in terms of equipment but also lets not lets not forget still in terms of as the government puts it ramping up the number of tests for those on the front line not him thanks very much well talk to you later im sure. Well russia reporting more than 2000 new coronavirus cases there that its largest daily increase yet more than 15700 factions have been reported across the country the government says 130 people have died turning attention to spain where the daily death toll has trended up again martyr herero joins us live from madrid hi there why are the numbers again going in precisely the wrong direction. Well we were suspecting this numbers going up and down before they system l. A. Sation phase that they were they were talking about would be who were that this would happen today in the past 24 hours saying is that the tool has gone as increase has risen seen since for 3 days going down and we were just more than 600 new fatalities and more than a full 1000 people positif from 19 the tide a lot of the measures have been reflected in these figures was saying they were going down to morrow thousands of spiny as a going back to work we have to remember that march 27th Prime Minister better santa decreed tougher law down measures until april 11th and this was going to embrace the easter holidays and all the people traveling around and nonessential workers or economy going to work meaning only fantasies supermarkets delivery were able to go to work so tomorrow these tough a lot of the measures are going to be lifted many criticism and many people that are not expecting say thats very soon to lift all these measures so thousands of us one is going back to work tomorrow with what the government guidelines to the companies saying that they have to drop provide. Protective equipment they have to keep the workers have to keep at least to me to meet a social distancing among them and also they will be distributing face masks in the subway and public transport they are asking everyone to go to work in their own of they will bicycles and the ones that are not able to they will be delivering facemasks so tomorrow we will see another another scenario we have to remember that we reduced our unemployment figures and 9100000 jobs were lost in 2 weeks reaching the worst economic a scenario in spain in the spanish civil war so this measure of some sex sectors. Some experts are saying that are necessary you know into recovery point me and others are very very critical like this like the president of the union saying that this is very early too soon for spain and eat anything out anything goes wrong he will be blaming Central Government motto thanks very much. Hell say Governor Andrew Cuomo is giving his Daily Briefing lets take you live now to new york last night we lost hundreds of new yorkers to this terrible disease. Its been disorienting everybody is suffering on a lot of levels people are afraid people are anxious their own distress everywhere they turn normally you go home for solace you go home for peace. But its even difficult at home in this period with so many questions so a lot a lot of pain a lot of suffering. But also when things are at their worst sometimes people are at their best and sometimes just when you need it people can really show you how great they can be in the middle of the situation we were worried about the Hospital Capacity especially in downstate new york that we would overwhelm the Hospital System and a key piece of equipment that we needed were ventilators this disease attacks the respiratory system so people need ventilators and they needed many more ventilators than we actually had so we talked about sharing all ventilators among different hospitals different parts of the state because the virus doesnt attack the entire state didnt tax. With more intensity in certain places and out of the blue one day i got a call. That said theres a nursing home in upstate new york that wants to lend 35 ventilators to downstate new york it was unsolicited nobody called in asked. In some ways it was the last place that you would think would come forward because it was a nursing home nursing and Rehabilitation Center and where most worried about Nursing Homes because the vulnerable population they are in Nursing Homes and that a nursing home would come forward unsolicited gratuitously and say we want to lend 35 ventilators in case our neighbors downstate need them what an incredibly beautiful generous gesture and i want to say thank you on behalf of all of the people of the state the family of new york we talk about that were a family upstate downstate were all of one family and that family is there to support one another and i want to say thank you on that behalf but i also want to say thank you personally. I also want to say thank you on a personal level because this hasnt been easy for anyone but i want to be the team here and the people of pathways to know that they gave me an inspiration and they gave me energy and they didnt they gave me resolve their gesture was so beautiful and so kind and so symbolic of everything we want to be at our best. Everything we aspire to be everything were all trying to be listen to our better angels be better be more generous more gracious more loving get to god love. Thats what pathways did and they did it for me and i want to say thank you very much thank you god bless your. New Governor Andrew Cuomo the. Through a demonstration of generosity and i guess on the part of various people dotted around the state lets go to mike hanna who joins us live from washington so mike your reading of those comments there from mr cuomo. Well he is speaking from a tiny new york state town of miscue unit and why he was there is because the local hospital had donated ventilators to hospitals further afield where they believe there is a greater need the governor of the state taking this opportunity this easter to express thanks to all of those who have given up so much in order to help the state of new york as a whole remembering as well that new york state is the epicenter of the pandemic continues to be so of all the deaths throughout the United States of new york state has suffered nearly hoth of the total amount continuing to fight against the spread of the pandemic the Governor Holding these daily news conferences but on this particular day going to the very heart of new york state small town in new york state to send a message of thanks to all of those who helped to state during this time. Just sit tight for us for a 2nd because in the past couple of hours we have received via twitter the thoughts and comments from the u. S. President donald trump hes put an address in effect on twitter during which years americans to stay at home to defeat what he described as quote a plague. This used to will be much different than others because in many cases will be separated physically only from our churches we wont be sitting there next to each other which wed like to be and soon will be again but right now were keeping separation were getting rid of the plague its a plague on our country like nobodys ever seen so many of those comments there from the u. S. President donald trump which clearly do not chime at all with what he was saying even just 2 weeks ago. Indeed yes well President Trump sending his easter message there from outside the white house and he has been very urgently attempting to get the country open again either in the hole in the sentara t. V. Or in certain sectors hes been talking about this for weeks now to get back to work at the is pressure on him from his corporate Business Leaders who want to get the economy open to soon as possible but this is being counted by the Health Professionals who insist that opening up the country now would lead to a massive spike in infections but it was only 2 weeks ago as you said that President Trump was saying the country could be open easter im also hope for all to have americans working. Again by their easter their beautiful easter day. But rest assured every decision we make is grounded solely in the Health Safety and well being of our citizens well the president will be watching online the service from his Favorite Church the Baptist Church in dallas and there the preacher is Robert Jeffries a man who is opposed to same sex message who is marriage who has described the former president barack obama as the antichrist well that is President Trumps choice of preacher on this particular day mike thanks very much. City leaders in Southern China denying allegations of coronavirus racism insisting foreigners are not being discriminated against and africans living in one job say theyre being kicked out of their homes and theyre facing paris mint as Health Workers step up testing for imported infections the African Union nigeria and ghana a calling on the Chinese Government to address those concerns and interests joins us live now from a butcher just walk us through the nature of these accusations. Well basically there are reports that africans have been chased out of a rented apartments and the been kicked out on the streets some were beaten and of course passports were seized weve seen. Images online of i get an official confronting chinese officials about seized nigerian passports which they demanded which he demanded to be returned anyway racism racist attacks in china and now against africans it didnt start during the coverage 1000 infections of course there were incidents before the cup in 1000 in infections and now as china emerges from these disease looks like the attacks have been ramped up a bit and that is a major source of worry for thousands of africas living in those countries african countries like nigeria like he said god. But the African Union of demanded explanations and afshin from the chinese or for just yet in nigeria on thursday the foreign minister summoned the Chinese Ambassador to nigeria to tell him the opinion or what nigeria feels about it and demanded action on the part of the chinese authorities now the fear actually right now is not what african countries can do in retaliation because the chinese involved tens of thousands of chinese actually spread across a for. Doing business construction and all and i looked up because feel that the governments may not take opinion of actions against chinese businesses in africa because big needed those activities those loads from china those Development Projects be executed by chinese on the continent however the real fear is what citizens will do if you look at the social media platforms youll see the amount of hate which africans say is in retaliation for the discriminatory attacks and the racial slows against africans living in china so the fear now is that these africans may take the law into their hands and start attacking chinese in retaliation thats the warri african governments are facing right now thanks very much.
