Penalties for those flouting the rules. Also hundreds of migrants are left homeless after a fire in a greek camp and the world to come up with. The broadcaster in pakistan playing a Critical Role in getting information out about the pandemic. Have you with us welcome to the news are the tally of corona virus infections across the world has now passed 3000000 and with it has come a warning from the World Health Organization it says the effort to stop the spread is having an effect on the fight against other diseases and it doesnt want countries to ease up on their covert 900 battle this was the director general speaking in geneva earlier. Every you more than 116000000. 00 in front are vaccinated or 86 percent of all children born globally but there are still more than 13000000. 00 children around the world who miss out on vaccination we know that the number will increase because of 19 already polio vaccination campaigns have been put on hold and in some countries routinely Immunization Services are being scaled back or shut down we continue to urge countries to find isolate test and treat all cases and trace every gone to a to e. Sure these declining trends continue but the pandemic is fired from all over i repeat the pandemic is far from over now that warning comes as italy the worst hit country in europe prepares to come out of lockdown next week some businesses will reopen but social distancing measures remain is a different story in the United Kingdom where Prime Minister Boris Johnson says while progress is being made its too early to ease restrictions because the risk of a 2nd wave is just far too great a new york state the place worst affected in the u. S. Has Just Announced stay at home orders will continue in many areas until at least the middle of next month or kristen salumi has the very latest for us in new york of course some stay at home orders to impart for some people but the governor would like to try and open up parts of the state as well. Thats right he says he will begin considering it after may 15th if areas meet certain criteria and he will treat different regions of the state differently basically hes looking for certain criteria to be in that in terms of Hospital Capacity Testing Capacity tracing capacity hospitalizations have to stay flat thats a c. D. C. Requirement for reopening as well that new hospitalization should be flat for about 2 weeks and thats already been the case here in new york but this is a very densely populated state and different parts of the state have different concerns one of the 1st sectors to reopen he said will be manufacturing and construction again though this will probably start in parts of the state that have not been hard hit by the virus so places like new york city where over half the known cases over half of the 280000 known cases have been here in new york city over half of the deaths very likely that stringent lockdown conditions are going to continue after may 15th but he will start reviewing them at that point so some signs of hope for people who are looking for a light at the end of the tunnel and of course christine this big question will its over a president ial primary in the states as well just talk us through those. Thats right so new york state had already postponed its president ial primary it was supposed to happen this past week it was postponed until june 23rd and the board of elections for the state Just Announced that theyve canceled that no president ial primary at all and they can do this because of a little known state law that allows them to remove names from the ballot after theyve suspended their campaign so in the case of the democrats for example joe biden is now the only active candidate in the race all of the other democrats dropped out suspended their campaigns so because of that theres only one person on the ballot for the democrats on the republican side also only one person so the board of elections given the situation with coronavirus worried about voters health and poll workers help decided to suspend the campaign now this is against what one of the candidates Bernie Sanders was hoping even though hes dropped out of the race i knew that the state was considering this his lawyers wrote a letter to the board of elections asking that the primary still go on because he was hoping to amass votes and delegates to have some influence for his point of view going into the convention this summer so that his left wing of the party would be represented to have some votes behind him but alas again the board of elections in new york state acting on their own decided that it was too risky to hold the primary then and given there was only one declared candidate left in the race there will not be known for the 1st time no primary. Vote in new york kristens with the latest the force in new york thank you. Lets stay in the u. S. And bring in our White House Correspondent kimberly health it so much is going on a cross the u. S. Kimberly lets just begin really with the way that the white house and the president has been reacting really to a string of tweets and annoyance really with the media and with the way they are being interpreted in the white house. Yeah theres no question that the u. S. President spent much of the weekend venting his frustrations at the us media and its coverage of some of his press briefings and he has manifested that in another tweet again today the one of the monday tweets from the president fake news enemy of the people hes really pushing back on that Public Relations fiasco that we saw last thursday when the president suggested that injecting disinfected or even shining u. V. Light inside the human body could potentially get rid of covert 19 well as a result of that there was a lot of soul searching and the white house decided perhaps to cut back on the briefings we were told there would be no Coronavirus Task force briefing at 21. 00 g. M. T. Today wed just be seeing the president at 20 g. When he was meeting with the Retail Industry leaders but in the last hour all that has changed now the briefing is back on but its not the briefing its going to be a president ial statement in the rose garden that will be taking place at 2130 g. M. T. And we are a little surprised by that because the messaging has been changing throughout the day and it is seems to be sort of a lack of clarity or the president responding to the ongoing media criticism that he is continuing to receive we know that the president s poll numbers have been sinking and there is certainly this feeling that in fact the president is best suited perhaps for the economic message not the Public Health one but once again what we see with this sort of latest abrupt press conference a change in the schedule for the president yet again it appears the president is trying to seize the narrative control the narrative and set the agenda what were told is this latest press conference will be about testing and it will also be about reopening the u. S. Economy indeed with so with the mixed messages kimberlys his meeting with Business Leaders which you alluded to just a few moments ago perhaps plays into the role of him wanting to get business up and running across the country hes more comfortable talking about the economy for the years about how. Yeah thats what we really thought this was going to be is sort of the only appearance by the u. S. President s one where he feels comfortable frankly its one where the public is more used to seeing him and its where he can shape the media narrative so its a little surprising that in addition to this hes now also going to have this press conference in the rose garden what we can take from all of this is that the president has been in conflict with the u. S. Governors with the reopening of the economy some states never closed down some did and are now reopening as we saw in the case of South Carolina and georgia oklahoma alaska theyre all reopening with things like tattoo parlors bowling alleys hair salons weve also seen in colorado as well that they are opening with curbside retail but its all very sporadic its like a Patchwork Quilt theres no rhyme or reason to it so this may be the president trying to get out to appear that there is some Cohesive Strategy but at the same time up until now we have not had that cohesion from the white house in fact just the opposite over the weekend the Vice President was saying look at social distancing those guidelines they should be behind us by the end of may but then we had dr deborah birch one of the Public Health officials in the same cast for saying these social distancing guidelines are going to be with americans well through the summer so theres a real lack of clarity whether or not the president will provide it when he has this Rose Garden Press Conference well have to watch and see if it can help you go once house correspondent thank you. Well to europe now where italy is referring to emerge from the longest a coronavirus lockdown in europe from next week people will be allowed to visit relatives and some businesses will reopen it seemed the 2nd highest number of deaths in the world after the us but on sunday the daily toll fell to its lowest level in more than a month Prime Minister just happy conte says people will still need to wear masks and observe social distancing we have got to imagine but the argument. From me for the wholesale sector will restart but it is obvious that well need a market and therefore for me 18 if we expect to reopen the Retail Sector from then were also planning to reopen museums exhibitions and libraries and sport teams can resume training we also hope that june 1st will be the date for the reopening of bars restaurants beauty salons and hairdressers basically our personal care activities. While seller is a journalist. Sarah joins me now on skype from milan forgive my italian finance ation bear with us on the program how how will people react to the easing of the lockdown restrictions certainly those that have been talking to you today. So there is a lot of frustration. Because our luck now many tell you was one of the strictest in the war and stealing on may the floor. Easing up there is. Very light so you still need. You know why you arent going out to visit a relative and also there was that many people were not happy about the warning of the law you know only talking about relatives when many people have but little alone and friends that are as close to them hasnt any relatives also there is a lot of frustration. For parents because color im not going to reopen before september and it is a huge burden on families because theres so many people are working from home and they see and have to take care of the children so next a huge problem too i didnt want to. So for mobile to jump into what does that actually mean for businesses though because businesses are both large and small corner shop and big shopping well everybody wants to open up and get life back to normal but its not going to be quite that easy. No its not all sold many many evil socks will reopen keen for my soul next week will only be for one factor or sell to marquis of fashion industry but the smaller subs will stay close and they will reopen may teams and but they will need to follow real a lot of the rules also the restaurants will not hold on until the beginning of june which is not sure yet so we are going to have to see also. The death toll because of course its falling down but its still very i like what example today was 333 which is not you know like number they were you surprised that the Prime Minister didnt mention anything about the Contact Tracing app that there was so much publicity about and also about the way Health Workers in the Health Service is going to be looked after from this point onwards because obviously theyve been through a great deal of strain absolutely so in general practitioner for example on the territory they were left alone at the beginning of the defendant me and so they need more help now also we were all very disappointed that there was no man shown on not only about the tracing happen theyre working on but also about i mean theyre checking on the territory through all interior snopt or i mean the tracing of people and contacts of people who have tested positive to their lives so and also we heard a lot about the test but there was no mention of them either not only supposed to in milan thank you very much for your time thank you for having me. Prime minister Boris Johnson has returned to work after he was infected to theres been more than 150000 cases and more than 20000 deaths in the United Kingdom and he says its too soon to ease the lockdown he spent 8 days in hospital 3 of them in intensive care after being diagnosed with the virus a month ago johnson believes progress is being made but is warning of a risk of a 2nd wave if this virus were a physical assailant an unexpected and invisible mugger which i can tell you propose to experience it is then this is the moment when we have begun together to wrestle it to the floor i know it is tough and i want to get this economy moving as fast as i can but i refuse to throw away all the effort and the sacrifice of the british people and to risk a 2nd major outbreak and huge loss of life and the overwhelming of the n. H. S. Jonah hill has more from downing street in london. Rallying reassuring he did attempts to talk up the sort of positives up to now not easy under the circumstances chief among them of course bob simpson the simple fact that the Prime Minister is back standing behind a podium addressing the British Public outside 10 downing street a real achievement that in itself even if he does return to step straight back into a whole series of controversies of difficult questions and criticisms leveled at him his handling of the crisis in the early days his governments handling of the crisis while hes been ill the perceptions of a slow rips response as the death toll the hospital death toll ticks way past 20000 possibly much higher even than that there are still gaping holes in p. P. E. Protection equipment for Health Care Workers on the front line the testing targets are nowhere near being met and louder and louder calls from all sorts of quarters for quite when and how this lockdown is going to be lifted as it tears into the british economy here although many did different difficult questions for the Prime Minister to grapple with he put his best foot forward here trying to emphasize the positive the progress that has been made flattening the curve up to now the n. H. S. The Health Service has not been overwhelmed as many feared were approaching he said the point where we turn the tide but to those people asking when the lockdown will be lifted where there was disappointment the time is not right now he said the numbers are too high the risk of a 2nd wave still far too great and dangerous his message to the public to businesses to members of his own party even calling for the lockdown to be lifted contain your impatience theres still a long way to go now the families of front line Health Workers who died coronavirus in the u. K. Will receive payments of 75000. 00 Britains Health secretary said he would it would never replace the loss of a loved one but the government wanted to do everything he could to support grieving families so far 82. 00 national Health Service staff and 16 social care workers have died of the virus. They dedicated their lives to caring for others and i feel a deep personal sense of duty that we must care for their loved ones and as a government were looking closely at other professions that work on the front line of gates coronavirus who dont who also do not have access to such schemes to see where this may be required germany as combat in the spread of krona virus by making the wearing of mass compulsory while on public transport free masks have been made available in cities nationwide for the past week germany has the 4th highest number of confirmed cases in europe fewer than 6000 have died which is far lower than neighboring countries dominic cain has more from berlin. The mask order is in place across germany in all the states the 16 states that make up the federal republic but the enforcement of it differs from state to state so in berlin from where im sitting right now the order relates purely to public transport so if you use buses like the bus station im standing outside now with trains all the metros then you have to wear the mask but the moment you step off public transport you can remove the mask so if you want to go to one of the shops that have reopened in the course of the last few days you dont need to wear the mask elsewhere in germany you do need to wear the mask the point here is that the Decision Making by the relevant State Governments and by the federal government is informed by the science by the numbers being tabulated by robert Coffee Institute which has the authority in this area and right now it is thought that something around 2 and a half 1000 people are in intensive care perhaps 75 percent of them are on ventilators but equally fewer than 6000. 00 people have died from corona virus in germany despite the fact that it has amongst the highest number of infections in europe and one other key statistic which is informing government decisions is getting up to around 3 quarters of all the confirmed cases of coronavirus have now resulted in the patients concerned recovering which explai
