Navy ship at the center of a controversy which saw its captain sacked as died. And indigenous communities in malaysia take action to protect themselves from coronavirus. We will get to coronavirus shortly but 1st lets get you right up to speed with the developing story this hour out of new libya which is seen intense fighting the internationally recognized government is now saying its taken a 2nd city from the warlord of the 4 have to involve phone footage appears to show fighters on the streets of some prata earlier pro tripoli forces entered the city of sort of man west of the capital after his fighters have been trying to capture the capital and overthrow the government there for the past year. Joins us live from tripoli mark would just get us right up to date whats going on there. Will be to the government of National Accord that says that its a measure of advancement its forces have achieved today by taken control of both cities coastal cities in the west of libya and so brought us abroad to bear the way a key city in the worst of libya on the coast that has been under the control of have to the forces for the past 3 years the Government Forces say that by taken control of our uncertain man this way they can easily take control of the whole coastal city the highway also connecting get tripoli to the tunisian borders. Is a key city because whoever controls can also move on many other cities on the west of libya and they can forces loyal to the government of National Accord can easily join in the. Berber forces in this city of as one hour and they can all move or are on a word here as a stronghold for forces loyal to the world for have to end southern west of their capital tripoli also the government said that it has been preparing for this offensive over the past week and with help from turkish drones actually the air force has been playing a major rule and this battle it was a swift takeover the government says its thanks to its. Preparations over the past few weeks including the airstrikes by turkish drones targeting that have those forces locations in and around surprised once a month including the operation rooms now the government said that it now can eliminate the threat possible threats coming from have those forces in the west of tripoli so now the western directions of tripoli can be now secured the government said that its now. Trying to focus on it he pelling have to his forces and their locations in Southern Area tripoli if the tripoli forces can sustain this if they can hang on and keep this significant 2nd city or we potentially here talking about the fall of africa well excuse me peter if you can if you can say that question once again if the tripoli forces have taken the 2nd city does that mean an end of her. As his in this role as selfappointed warlord well i dont think so because half of his forces that they still have their other strongholds in the west of the country including the city of who are and also there are other cities are divided between have those forces and the Government Forces and the worst of the country but it is nevertheless its a major setback to have those forces given the fact that its the 3rd city have to as was a have been losing it since last june when they 1st lost the city of this strategic city of as n. E. N. But nevertheless it depends on the air at vance had weapons used by have to his forces as you know peter that have that his forces have been getting get advanced weapons from russia and the United Arab Emirates and also from egypt and they have been attacked in the capital tripoli for the past to year now the government said that by securing their possible threats from have to his verses from the west havent they the actions of tripoli the Government Forces can now focus on only on defending already paling have had forces attacks on southern tripoli. When thanks very much. Russia reporting its biggest daily increase in corona virus cases with more than 2 and a half 1000 new infections the government says 148 russians have died with the total number of infections surpassing 18000 lets cross live now to our correspondent tracking all the european developments for us this neve need lets just focus in on russia those new numbers stacking up in a very bad way yes it doesnt look good for russia at the moment russia was quite slow to report its 1st cases but it looks now like the infection rate is going up pretty quickly according to the deputy Prime Minister its going up on a daily basis at around 16 to 18 percent so in the past 24 hours weve seen an increase in 2 and a half 1000 reported cases we know that 18 people have died in the past 24 hours or bringing the total death toll to 148 this is russias biggest jump yet so it gives you an idea of how fast the virus is that decelerating across russias vast vast territory we know the government has responded very quickly its all ordered the building of 18 hospitals it says that 40000. 00 beds are already available in total it wants to have around 95000. 00 beds ready for coronas a virus of victims its all the doctors to treat anybody coming into hospital with pneumonia symptoms to be treated as if they already have the coronavirus so assuming they will be put into specialist wards theyll be kept away from other people and some degree of Contact Tracing may be introduced as well but the words coming from the russian president are that this is very much the start that the worst is yet to come. Maybe gives the image blow up a little mean its a bit of deja vu as we can see the situation is changing almost every day unfortunately its not changing for the better but the number of infected people is increasing and there are more severe cases as well as i said already the coming weeks will be decisive. You would expect of course from a tough mightily to like lead to mere putin a robust response well on top of the measures to build hospitals and to shore up support for the countrys publicly funded Health Service that is somewhat creaking the russian president has also said that any shortcomings in the fight against corona virus will be regarded as criminal negligence now having lived in russia for 6 years having been at the receiving end of its public Health Service i know all too well how much of a challenge this may be for the country in dealing with a surge in cases but it does also raise some concerns about whether or not some local administrations possibly even a hospital staff given the threat of criminal negligence may be inclined to bury the figures to hide the figures and that can only make the situation much much worse and on a day to day level as well people are being threatened with 70 in prison sentences if they flout the regulations that have been brought in by the government you do get the distinct impression judging from the words coming from putin and those around him that the situation is deeply concerning for the kremlin may thank you. Well the russian government has spent years as weve been hearing reforming the Health Care System to make it more efficient but critics say its left hospitals short of beds doctors and nurses step in reports from moscow. This is one of 3 major Infectious Diseases hospitals in moscow a city of nearly 13000000 people 2 of its buildings were recently demolished when the covert 19 pandemic had already started last year moscows mayor announced that a new hospital will be built here but its unclear when. Project go has 4 years protested against health care cuts. I think whats happened here is a crime and maybe prosecutors should look into it i want to officially demand that prosecutors should get involved and find out why it meets the pandemic they demolish one of the Major Centers in moscow to could pack some statistics show that nearly half of all hospitals have been closed nationwide here in this video opposition figure ilyushin estimates 60 hospitals were closed in moscow alone the government calls it optimize ation of health care merging hospitals are turning them into poorly clinics in an effort to be more Cost Effective but experts say in reality theres often meant closing them down this hospital is close in 2015 and an estimated 400 medical workers lost their jobs. If they didnt close a hospital we could have received 570 patients thats how many beds we had officially im an infection ist this profession has its own specifics we know how to follow an anti epidemiological regime they were no cases of into hospital infection and our hospital. Medical workers around russia have been complaining about the lack of protective equipment and the heavy workload they are facing working with grown up patients yes lisa truss if the same happens us what we see in the south of europe we can fail to cope even in. Asco i dont know how the situation will develop its impossible to predict but this teaches that you cant thoughtlessly reform the Health Care System you should think what the consequences might be what risks appear as a result of it. Mosco authorities have not responded to our request for comment a new Infectious Diseases hospital is rapidly being built outside the capital and extra bets have been added to existing hospitals but medical experts say details spittles lead to specialist 19 patients need. These matches might not be enough when russia reaches its peak of the epidemic that fasten aljazeera. Monday morning in spain saw some nonessential businesses reopen after almost 3 weeks shut down another 517 deaths linked to the virus were also reported thats fewer than on sunday the loosening of the lockdown is being criticized by spaniards worried about a resurgence in the disease and more than 17000 have died so far with close to 170000 confirmed cases. One of the 600 crew who caught the corona virus on board a u. S. Aircraft carrier has now died the captain of the Theodore Roosevelt was fired for writing to his commanders begging for help to stop the spread on board and the acting Navy Secretary resigned after he criticized the captain calling him stupid and naive the u. S. President donald trump has retreated a call to fire the countrys top Infectious Disease expert it comes after dr anthony folks she said more lives could have been saved if the u. S. The taken containment measures sooner mr fauji has also contradicted and corrected donald trump in the past including about what medicines may be effective against the virus live to our White House CorrespondentKimberly Kimberly one of merchants that the blow back here to the death of the naval the sailor could be potentially very very big. Theres no question theres already an investigation under way into this situation but in terms of the captain that was just missed from this Aircraft Carrier of the u. S. Theodore roosevelt certainly sadly there is some vindication that he may receive from this at least in the realm of Public Opinion given the fact that he sounded the alarm he was very concerned about seeing corona virus ripping through not just his own ship but the cruise ships around the world who had been in many cases debilitated by it so this is something that he was afraid of for his own ship of course he made this known publicly when he was not getting results from the higher chain of command within the u. S. S. Within the u. S. Navy and that resulted in his dismissal but his dismissal in fact was caught on video when he was leaving the ship he was cheered by the sailors who looked at him very admirably for essentially trying to save their lives but this is sort of a twist in turning story in the u. S. Navy because the acting Navy Secretary then went made a speech to this very same crew called this captain that they revered. As stupid and he was then in turn dismissed from his job so this is yet another sort of aspect to this case that thou that we have this death this is certainly going to bolster the case of the captain that this was a need to sound the alarm but in the u. S. Military readiness is everything the optics are everything and thats where he seems to be getting the most criticism that he signaled this publicly something that you dont want to do from a military standpoint having said that he has also received some sympathy from u. S. President trump for his actions but again the u. S. President for now at least backing the decisions of the military and again that investigation into all of this still ongoing and other aspects of coronavirus where you can believe mr trump retreating. A tweet i think it was from the network which is like its the right sort of faux news i guess that would be fair to say with the hash tag fine folks you know if hes getting ready to find who does he replace him with and is mr Infectious Diseases. Yeah and hes been that since 1984 hes enormously popular in the United States has sort of said that he kind of made into a star the fact that hes been standing on the stage but alongside the u. S. President the White House Briefing room but i can tell you thats not the case he has been well known in the United States when it comes to being a top Public Health official for decades but now we see a very sort of overt difference of Public Opinion or rather difference of opinion between these 2 men and the difference in Public Opinion over how this situation given the fact that dr anthony found she doesnt mince words hes been very vocal about the fact that he thinks that much of this social distancing should have been done sooner he said as much over the weekend and that really caught the ire of the u. S. President as you point out he retreated very stark criticism of dr anthony found she with the hash tag fire found she and the question becomes now is the president intending to do that i can tell you that something that was certainly receive an enormous amount of pushback given the fact that he is well respected in the United States so were sort of left wondering whats going to happen next and how these 2 men will stand on the stage moving forward theres no question the u. S. President s been much of sunday defending his response thus far but there are increasing questions and the trumpet ministrations response is under the microscope given the fact that the president was in fact there are some signals he may have ignored intelligence there also some signals that he should have put in social distancing sooner but was reluctant to do so because of the strong u. S. Economy one that he had counted on to help israel lection chances in November Kimberly thanks very much plenty more still to come for you here on aljazeera including south korea reporting more than 100 people who were initially cleared over the coronavirus of tested positive again plus.
