12:05 pm
a problem here because the join it being a girl. which enjoys a certain amount of autonomy. is not it doesn't agree with that does major soul we are going to face it we're out of the. situation you know between 2 or tory at this so i'll of course. it's not as not to us to do it to address all these this problem but it's amazing that. we having a situation in which every journey of a thought is not aligned thought you know and even don't make your own but of danishes is a strange guy because we have the cabinet will be here and they didn't stop there the county will and but after. the date so there
12:06 pm
is a situation in progress that i'm not blaming the italian authorities or the governor or the mayor because i understand that these are barely barely new new. challenge for everybody both for the party fissions and for the citizens because the citizens little master show a sense of responsibility which is not the case because you know you still see people who go to ski in the mount been sleeping and back you know in you know at least spread some out of these this by us and they don't know that even if they are maybe younger they are not a preschooler. break. i just want to ask you with that with the region in lockdown other fears other concerns about supplies of food and so forth. not sure. maybe a problem you know but still if we banish for example in
12:07 pm
a city like maneesh we have open. outdoor markets still and that is a good place to all to buy you know not just sugar maggots so i guess i'm not warry that corporate that actually had them at the moment the 3 east that may be but then surely a problem of course you know thank you very much a good speaking to us there from venice the city he describes as a ghost town the least 10 people in china have been killed after a hotel used as a coronavirus quarantine center collapsed rescue workers pulled 47 of these 70 people from under the rubble but more than a dozen people are still trapped let's speak to katrina you whose life was in beijing and katrina as people learn of the problem of this collapse there is better news isn't there as china reports its lowest number of new infections in
12:08 pm
a single day since january. yes that's why what we're hearing from the chinese government is that they're saying they've effectively stop the spread of the current virus outside of who they province and as you mentioned we've had the lowest numbers this weekend that we've had for weeks today in the last 24 hours there were 44 new cases and 41 of those cases were in a province and the other 3 outside of who were people who are infected not in china but in italy and iran so they've said effectively they've been successful in preventing the spread of the virus throughout china and it's been concentrated now into a province and this trend this figure has been really taken by the chinese government as a kind of victory to say that the heavy man did measures that they've been putting in place to stop the outbreak have been successful and some of those measures have been locking down 16000000 people that's equivalent to the population of the u.k.
12:09 pm
preventing those people from leaving their homes closing down public transport closing down work places entertainment venues and these measures have been heavily criticized outside of china for really impinging on people's human rights also criticized because people say that they've had adverse effects on people who are sick with illnesses that are not the coronavirus so the chinese government has really come on to this figure and said look. in order to contain the outbreak these measures were not only necessary but we implemented them in a way that the communist party could only implement them so that really using this figure as a positive propaganda tool essentially what katrina things about that's katrina you . well in the united states a cruise ship with an outbreak of growth of ours on board has been allowed to dock in the city of oakland california that's just across the bay from san francisco which refused to let me talk 21 people on board have tested positive for corona virus grown princess current through
12:10 pm
a half 1000 passengers and crew around 50 of us did so for our. well countries in africa have been have until now escaped the worst of the corona virus outbreak but the have been new cases in cameroon and in togo and at least 45 infections have been confirmed elsewhere on the continent it was hot propose now from senegal where authorities are trying to stop the outbreak from spreading. the corona virus is spreading in africa on tuesday a french couple with flu like symptoms tested positive for the virus in this hospital with multiple new cases many of the nursing and medical staff have been sent home hundreds are in self-imposed quarantined pharmacies are running out of masks and sanitizer some are even resorting to traditional remedies and the hope of fighting off the virus is going to individualize you need to eat garlic at least 3 times a day and that will stuff coronavirus especially older people have been coming to me hoping that this will protect them when you're going to be i mean don't count on
12:11 pm
that remedy though the world health organization says there's no evidence that eating garlic has protected people from the new coronavirus so far all the cases on the african continent are not coming from china like experts predicted but from europe the outbreak that began in the north of italy is quickly spreading beyond european borders we are not far from the pandemic most of the continents do not have enough capacity for example for intensive in senegal an emergency crisis has been put in place similar to the one during the 201416 bull outbreak over 11000 people died from that virus mostly in west africa. the government does not want to see the virus spread in neighborhoods like this where there's a shortage of water frequent power cuts and the sanitation systems are not up to scratch people here live in close proximity and this is a virus that's highly contagious so help that authorities say the way to stop the
12:12 pm
outbreak is early detection this is where blood sample. suspected cases are being tested a facility few african countries have and so for professor county avoiding contact including handshakes is the best way to prevent the virus from spreading we need to explain. that they don't need to be afraid they guess. or prevention aspect while fear of the virus is spreading faster than the virus itself so with the misinformation on social media rumors that africans are immune to the virus so that hot weather or local remedies can destroy it with some saying that covert 19 is a western invention it's a challenge for african states with the epidemic gaining ground misinformation has become ass contagious as the virus itself nicholas hawk al-jazeera the car now than a 4th is reported to have been detained in saudi arabia but hasn't been any official

landed on lesbos and 4 other jian islands from turkey over the past week let's bring in john psaropoulos now who's on let's 1st john what's the latest. hello well you can see behind me the warped and twisted metal sheet sheet metal of the roof which has buckled under the fire the girders underneath that have also buckled we can see. the roof that's left the steel frames of the long tables and benches were children so of course the plywood is now turned to dust this was the school of peace a section of the one happy family day center which offered a number of services to refugees living on the island standing with me here is nick nicola who is one of the people in charge of this center good morning thank you for joining us thanks can you tell me had you received any warning that something might happen and do you know what the cause of this fire was so for we don't know
12:21 pm
anything about the cause of the fire the police is investigating. been very tense on the island recently island has been host to more than 20000 asylum seekers in the notorious morea refugee camp and refugees are very frustrated about the situation as well as their residents of the island who have suffered from this situation since many years how do you received any sort of threats we have heard from other organizations that. personally we didn't have received any threats but there had been reports of volunteers being attacked in their cars now we know that you have shut down the center for the post week why did you do that we shut down almost 2 weeks ago because there were all several demonstrations going on from the local residents against the plans of the government in athens to build a new center which we opposed as well and then also the general strikes and then situation it happened in turkey with the new arrivals have you had any trouble with all sources on the island no we didn't have any trouble so far and what do you make
12:22 pm
of the new political climate do you think that there are political responsibilities from the government from the local authorities. i think that. political authorities must ensure the safety of everyone and that the leaders of all the countries in europe have to come up with a viable solution for the future of what should happen with the people that are he stuck on the islands. can you tell me more about what happened in the school what kind of lessons did you do what activities so it was a non formal education program for children and they had. language classes in their own language or upbeat farsi french quarter dish that they had greek classes english classes and sports activities. in general social activities and the teachers were from the refugee population itself we've heard that you had about 250 children attending regularly yet one that was the maximum that was in the school so what will happen to those children will they be able to continue their lesson
12:23 pm
somewhere else. it's time that we are making up plans and we see if we have any alternatives anything outside anything in a tent to come up with a solution that's with the leadership of the school program now and what about the ongoing tension. the pressures on your volunteers but also on your refugees are you worried that this may lead to further acts of violence we hope that it will not lead to further acts of violence and that suit situation will calm down but it's very difficult to predict the future. well as you can see it's a tense time for the volunteers on the island for the charities for the refugees themselves we've visited other organizations that were in partial shutdown mode because refugees simply weren't walking from the morea camp they were simply afraid to walk the streets because they might come under attack that's the atmosphere on the island at the moment. reporting from us thanks john. well migrants and refugees trying to cross from turkey into greece describe scenes at
