Well don weve got some new numbers have just been released the last hour of sciences from the scene one news i can see again this is a government controlled media operation we have yet to have them confirm for the National Health commission which holds its press conference in the afternoons out of beijing this and that 111 you cases of the coronavirus of coming out of one joe this is a city in the south of china and these particular cases of people of african origin now the last couple of days weve seen a number of social media reports of complaints being made by members of the African Community in that particular city and they claiming to obeying accusing the chinese authorities of mistreatment theyre talking about has been denied access to hotels and restaurants and as a result a number of african countries demanded action from china to stop this what they describe of Inhumane Treatment that china said it doesnt discriminate against the African Brothers but this is a sign today that the news and say that theyve got 111 new cases and these are the people of african origin living in the south of china in one joe and looking at other cases where were seeing a spike of numbers in the north east of china this is an area called her long john its a province that borders russia and as a result a city that borders russia its now in lockdown weve also got a number of quarantine rules that been put in place the capital harbor its got in force a stay at home order for some people in those residential compounds where they believe they might be clusters of public gatherings have been banned Train Services or also been stopped in parts of that region and so the chinese authorities are now trying to deploy not just medical teams but resources to that particular area in the north east of the country which appears to be the new battleground for Coronavirus Infections coming in from russia or address. In hong kong so thank you. Yes President Donald Trump has defended his handling of the pandemic as infection rates nationwide start to fall at his monday briefing trump said his administration had done everything right despite criticism it was slow to respond Infectious Disease expert Dr Anthony Fauci back to the president but again admitted fewer people would have died if instructions had started sooner the disease has killed more than 23000 people in the u. S. John hendren has more details now from chicago now he has got a new council that he plans to announce on tuesday which will be a number of Administration Officials and business officials who would come up with the plan for when to go back to business he hasnt given us a date but he did say in the News Conference just a short while ago that he would within the week the president talked about the change in cases plant showing mirroring some of the language were hearing from Governor Andrew Cuomo of new york and governor j. B. Pritzker of illinois who both say that there does seem to be a bending of that curve this is what the president said just a short time ago americans continue to make critical progress that our war against the virus over the weekend the number of daily new infections remained flat. Nation wide flat hospitalizations a slowing of hotspots like new York New Jersey michigan and louisiana this is clear evidence that our aggressive strategy to combat the virus is working on sunday you have anthony found the director of allergy and Infectious Diseases the point man on this pandemic for the administration who was asked if the administration had acted earlier would lives have been saved and he said yes he couldnt deny that well in his News Conference one of the 1st things the president did was trot out anthony found who had to walk back all of those comments saying that in fact in the only 2 times he actually confront the president were in mid march when he recommended that there be some kind of lock down in business closing and then 2 weeks later when he recommended that that be extended for another 2 weeks and he said that when he said there had been pushback back in february that that was probably a bad choice of words new york pasta another grim milestone on monday a red string more than 10000 coronavirus from 8 to deaths for the states governor says there are signs the west is over christensen who has more power as all but essential businesses remain closed in new york or stay home there are signs that strict social distancing measures are working the governor says the state is seeing fewer hospitalizations for the coronavirus we can control the spread feel good about that the worst is over. Yeah if we continue to be smart Going Forward but even as President Trump expresses his hope to get americans back to work in may the governor warned against lifting restrictions too soon new yorks governor said hell be listening to experts in Public Health in the economy not politicians as to when it will be safe for new yorkers like me to leave home and return to work but hell do so in consideration with governors from neighboring states that includes one to reopen schools the mayor of new york city thinks they should stay closed through june but i need to do to protect kids and parents and families and educators theres not going to be a context to reopen schools with so much were going to have to deal with on the health front to get to a better place and a more stable place but the governor says ultimately that will be his decision one he has yet to make christine salumi aljazeera new york made all the World Health Organization has countries to carefully consider any changes to social and economic restrictions the way down is march slower than the way up that to means control measures must be lifted slowly and weve gone through and it cannot happen all at once controlled measures can only be lifted if the right public and the measures are in place including significant capacity for contact tracy. In europe spain has taken the 1st step in easing a nationwide lockdown hundreds of thousands of nonessential employees have been allowed to return to work it is also easing some restrictions from tuesday but when it came reports from delhi. For many thousands of people across europe this is the reality of the coronavirus for many millions more it means locked down and the loss of their freedom of movement and for many weeks thats been the case in france now its president says it must stay that way a lot longer. Dont look on this come on in the false hospitals a saturated everywhere in france in the French Overseas territories the system is under strain there and the epidemic is not yet under control so we must continue our efforts and continue to respect the rules the more they are respected the more lives will be saved that is why the strictest lockdown must continue until monday may the 11th. But elsewhere monday meant a return to work after weeks in lockdown as here in madrid because in this and a few other sectors of the economy the toughest restrictions have been lifted and some spanish politicians say now is not the time to relax the vigilance even to this small extent and in most other regards the existing lockdown will remain in place for much of the next 2 weeks in italy a small number of stationery shops book shops and Childrens Clothing stores can reopen from choose day because here the number of new infections remains considerably lower than joining the worst days last month but as in spain the mortality rate remains high the point pope francis referred to in his Easter Monday address at the vatican or g. Recorded. During this easter week i would like to remember with closeness and affection all the countries strongly affected by the coronavirus some with large numbers of infected and dead in a special way italy United States bahrain france the list is long. And many other countries are worried to the latest figures from russia show the infection and mortality rates are on a steep upward curve. As we can see the situation is changing almost every day unfortunately its not changing for the better the number of infected people increases and there are more ther via cases as well the upcoming weeks would largely be decisive that means that all our actions including prevention measures should be optimized here in germany the abundance of intensive care and wide scale testing have helped to keep the mortality rate much lower than in much of the rest of europe which explains why some politicians now want to relax the restrictions shere so as to reduce the economic damage as much as possible because some projections suggest that in this quarter alone the economy may shrink while most 10 percent.
