images of people starting to venture out and who bay province. the white house doctor says donald trump has tested negative for corona virus the us president had attention had potentially been exposed to it while meeting members of the brazilian delegation who later found out they were infected meanwhile trumps extended the european travel ban to include the u.k. and ireland spain's prime minister is putting his entire country into lockdown like italy before that so 46000000 people will be ordered not to leave home unless absolutely necessary france is shutting down restaurants cafes nightclubs and senate so let's take a look at the overall picture of this pandemic this is from johns hopkins university so right now more than $156000.00 cumulative affections globally have happened almost 74000 though have recovered the number of deaths is heading towards

6000 let's begin with mike hanna and washington. members of the coronavirus toss of course walk into the briefing room in terms of a new protocol all in the president's proximity must have the temperature taken including the journalists present unexpectedly president trump walks in with his vice president who had the shuttle to leave the briefing and another surprise he confirmed teach submitted to a test for the virus last night i also took the test yesterday. and i decided i should based on the press conference yesterday people were asking did i take the test change when he also acknowledged that he'd made a mistake by shaking hands during friday's briefing with corporate leaders and others in the rose garden and somebody comes up to you they put their hand out you probably tend to shake it and we're all getting out of it shaking hands is not a great thing to be doing that and i agree but people put their hand out sometimes

i'll put their hand out you don't think about it the people are thinking about it more and more we have to think about it it's important for television no sense. for . the president then left the briefing leaving his vice president to officially confirm that the travel ban would be extended the president has made a decision to suspend all travel to the united kingdom and ireland effective midnight monday night eastern standard time again americans in the u.k. or arlen can come home legal residents can come home but as the secretary will detail they will be funneled through specific airports and process the center put disease control has stopped publishing testing figures on its website but statistics collected by an independent group indicate says being a shop rise in the number of tests being conducted for the 1st time since the crisis began the number of tests conducted in

a 24 hour period approached 20000 my kind out al-jazeera washington. alan fischer is live for us in washington d.c. so alan after weeks of the president continuing to shake hands to really brush off all of the social distancing that the experts have told us to do he has he says he has doctors say that he has finally been tested so tell us more about the. well you saw mike hanna's piece is he left the room he said that he his temperature was normal it turns out that that's absolutely right because they've released the results of the test and he was negative apparently on friday after the news conference there was the discussion of testing for 19 and the president agreed to undergo the test though he said on saturday he didn't know how long it would be before the results came back they came back just a few hours later and he was told that everything was all clear who clearly was at risk because he sat down in mar-a lago his home in florida last weekend with

a brazilian delegation and some of those actually tested positive for the virus so clearly his physicians really wanted him to get a test done that was done on friday all clear on saturday and just in the last hour or so the white house is issued a proclamation saying that to morrow will be a national day of prayer 1st of all for the victims of the disease and as we see the number of cases increasing in the united states and the number of fatalities is also rising but it's also for the people who are involved in the fight against the disease not just the task force but health care workers right across the country the moment are wondering whether they are going to be overwhelmed in the next week or so with the number of cases coming to their door or has allan experts have been trying to tell people stay home if you can if you have the option not to go to work stay home a lot of people down because they don't work they don't have money they can't feed

their families what is the latest that we know about this particular element of the coronavirus support bill that is supposed to address the issue that paid sick leave for people. well there were long discussions on friday with nancy pelosi who is a democrat the leader of the house of representatives and steve immolation who is a member of donald trump's administration in fact is the treasury secretary these discussions went on throughout the day there were at least 13 phone calls some of them i'm told were quite lengthy and that the end of it we were told there was a deal that would deal with some of the issues that were being raised by both sides you'll remember that nancy pelosi famously on friday said the 3 most important things in the bill were testing testing and testing in certainly we understand the bill covers that it also looks to cover the cost of those tests for even for people who are not insured but we were told that this bill will also cover the idea that people who don't get paid sick leave in the u.s.

and there are many many companies who don't do that well they would be covered as well and in fact mike pence referenced that in the news conference in the white house and he said if you don't go to work because of the virus your salary will be paid well it turns out that's not exactly right in fact there are a number of notable exceptions to that and it could well be that only 20 percent of the american workforce or qualify to get their salary paid by the federal government we should know more when the senate gets their hands on this bill when will that happen well you would have thought during an emergency like this when the spanish government is having 7 or cabinet meetings the senate would be ready to take on the bill and pass it no they are actually all the way for the weekend in fact mitch mcconnell who is the republican leader of the senate is no expected back into his office until monday not expected to call the senate into session until monday afternoon at the least the one good sign is that the president has already said he is willing to sign this bill so if there were some republicans who are

worried about upsetting the white house or pushing too far getting ahead of the administration that seems to be taken away by the president saying i will. sign this so when expecting that to happen at some point on monday we'll get an idea fully what is in the bill at that point but sadly there are people who are not entirely happy not everyone will be covered by the provision of paying for sick leave ok alan fischer from washington d.c. alan thank you actually from ari is a chairman and infectious diseases at the mayo clinic and he says there there isn't just a shift in the way the government is responding to the pandemic there has been rather i think people in this country are starting to realize the significance of this. crisis and they're starting to see 1st hand aces because there are cases in most of the states right now. so we're seeing a shift and the community where i live this is certainly clear are people are all

in gauge and they're all want to help out at this moment there are a lot of measures that happened this past week that are going in that direction travel ban social this is a i think there's been the a lot more information about the disease itself and the impact that these might have will patients especially the elderly or patients with underlying condition so we are seeing a shift you know we want to be connected and i think that's really trying to go from where we are and lonely for this place where we're going to be more isolated and separated but we are seeing a shift but that's certainly not for. well europe of course prides itself on visa free and open border policies which are the foundation of michigan area now though several states away imposing checks and closing borders with a u. neighbors for the 1st time in years of course they're trying to stop the spread of a coronavirus a stone as one of the latest it will deny entry to foreign travelers starting on

march 17th so blocky a denmark poland the czech republic with her when cyprus malta and lithuania have all taken similar action they are defying a new warnings to avoid blanket travel bans the day bob reports and other developments in europe including how spain's become the latest country to go into lockdown. it's only spain 2nd state of emergency since becoming a democracy this is what it looks like the country's reported a jump of more than 2000 in coronavirus cases in 24 i was now people will only be allowed to leave their homes to buy food and medicine to get to work hospitals or the bank or to care for the young and the elderly and the throughout. i would like to announce that during the period of the state of alert people will only be able to circulate on public roads for the organization of the following activities firstly the acquisition of food pharmaceutical products and basic

necessities secondly visits to health centers services under stablish meant trips to work place to carry out your work professional or business activities. in the capital madrid people are still venturing out but with many businesses already shut the city's unusually quiet me one can't remember i live in the city center and i like to see it empty i like to say that i think people are being responsible and the people who have to stay at home are doing it. the owner of this hotel is offering hundreds of rooms to madrid's regional government so it can treat coronavirus patients while in seville the mayor has cancelled all easter week for sessions just the latest setback to its tourist industry. in the italian capital road people stuck indoors have been showing their appreciation of doctors and nurses fighting against coronavirus theirs is the worst hit country after china and the death toll is well over a 1000 already. with the entire country in lockdown normal life has come to

a halt. and france is now closing all bars restaurants and cinemas and asking people to work from home and avoid nonessential visits it comes after the number of coronavirus cases doubled to more than 4 and a half 1000 in just 3 days. or places that aren't essential to the life of the country will be shut these include restaurants cafes cinemas and nightclubs places of worship will remain open gatherings and ceremonies will have to be postponed germany with europe's largest population has recorded just a handful of deaths so far now the government's urging people returning from italy switzerland and austria to self isolate for up to 2 weeks on. saturday spain bound planes belonging to a low cost british airline actually turned round midair now the u.k. government seems set to do its own about turn reacting to moves already made by business and public pressure with all elite football in england suspended until at least early april and the london marathon perspiring to the cabinet set to ban mass

gatherings in the coming week. and garion prime minister viktor orban seen here being checked after flying back from moldova is set to announce europe's latest school closures you know if the review process really use states including poland and the czech republic and totally or partially restricting entry to foreign nationals with the continent now the epicenter of the pandemic more drastic measures look inevitable but the barber al jazeera. earlier we spoke to ron resident christiana separate about how people are coping. we are forswear compounds to say you told me in a small space for 4 poor people me my has been my 2 daughters and one and 6 years old and the 2nd i'm now 9 months so it's not very simple to face the situation to organize time because time is soul long it's

a large it's so enormous huge 2 to 2 to face and we have to invent solution for all the date because we are not used to say oh my only day long we are used to go out and then we can realize out normal everyday life appreciate thing and we don't realize before we have to wait because we don't know how much time we have to wait for so it's a particular condition of ford for our minds so we are we have started to sing going outside. on the balcony that is and fresh melba. 6 o'clock in the evening and people started to singing on their balcony to to communicate to sue to remind them that we are alive at we can.

look each other and taking care of each other in a different way to a place in the philippines or walking major roads into manila as they start sealing off the capital that's $12000000.00 residents have been told they should only leave for work and emergencies for at least the next month travel in al to buy land to see and there is suspended 20 from an illicit richard had terry and a professor at yale sal university we appreciate your time so much so how is it what is the atmosphere there what is the experience like of being in this lockdown as it gets underway. well i wouldn't admit that it feels almost surreal right as it come with said the 1st thing that the play brings is a sense of exile so i think a lot of us had our flights canceled going out of country classes are suspended for the next month much of government work is also suspended. thousands of police forces are going to be deployed across the city what 1500 joint task for members of

the philippine military are also going to help out so this is this is progress of me going to look like lockdown present it's hard to call the the lockdown 2 days ago. but the government officials are calling calling it a community choir and what they're trying to clarify is that is that the movement of goods and basic services would not be stopped but the movement of human beings would be progressive you're restricted depending on the facts on the ground so this could actually be extended beyond one month if the situation on the ground doesn't improve now on the surface the philippines that's just over $100.00 cases confirmed but the problem is that we very limited test kits that the philippines has we don't really know how bad the situation he started let me is and must be so bad that the government's going for a lockdown ok so let me ask you that yes when there is the military and the police on the street that obviously gives us a sense of urgency they think people are feeling that sense of urgency because they can put all these restrictions in place but it is still really up to people to win

here to them. well to be honest the process the movement had locked on was a little bit messy the president gave it 48 hours before it will be implemented so that triggered actually an exodus where you had thousands of filipinos some of them but then shelling fact that getting out of the town and not potentially spreading it to more ill prepared parts of the city 2 nights ago just before president declared that announced this lockdown or community quarantine i was in grocery store we finish our grocery on 11 pm it was pandemonium and it was complete planted by cross the city you cannot find even the basic needs so there isn't the sense of panic there's a sense of what's going to come up next some people trying to humor and what but we don't know really how are we going to cope with this if the government effectively to be able to provide basic services and goods and over the next month or if this gets extended over over one month from no but our concern right now is that we don't even have enough test kits new test kits are coming out let me let me when

you can also let me be all up on that we have on a follow up on that what is your understanding of. how hospitals in the medical community there is a parent to deal with this i mean we're talking about a city as you said it's 12000000 people. let's not forget that this is the 1st case in and tire region the saudis asian region whereby you have a capital city being more or less put under lockdown in fact i can this is the 1st case in the world where by the capital city schools on the lot them 1st in a way it is unprecedented and we feared that this could become like a situation where but it was. done and it progressively got out of control so that is a situation where looking at now and the thing is we're not sure if the government prepared in terms of implementing this the fact of the matter is that 2 months ago there were a lot of people including myself calling for more street travel restrictions including from places like washington and other badly affected areas but the

philippine government which is a very good relationship with china and because of massive investments by chinese the suspects including the online casino business present deserted and a lot of top officials were very reluctant to impose restrictions so there's a sense that this was completely preventable if the philippine health care system he's not prepared but the president and he's off the shelves persists and in fact one week after the one left out when the epidemic threat was very clear the philippine health secretary not the foreign secretary said that there will be diplomatic and political ramifications if the philippines impose its restrictions on the entry of chinese nationals and if some reports suggest that up until recently there were still flights coming in from china and there were exposition in the senate showing that a lot of chinese citizens could still get into the country for corruption schemes and getting profit were illegal it seems like government officials there's a lot of blame also going on who are potential direct action the libyan government all right thank you very much richard had ariane joining us have from manila thank

you. the number of new infections in china continues to slow according to the government which says local transmissions are lower than the number of cases being brought in from abroad on saturday mainland china had 20 confirmed new infections 16 of them connected to people from outside the other 4 cases were reported in the city of one were the outbreak began in december 67000 of the 81000 become sick in china have recovered her car joins us live now from hong kong sara 1st tell us more about these numbers in china well it certainly does seem to be a rosy picture coming out of china as you mentioned the chinese health commission have confirmed on saturday there were 20 new cases now 16 of those were importation cases of the virus to travelers coming into mainland china from the likes of italy iran and saudi arabia so the big focus now from the chinese government is looking at the importation of the virus as opposed to the local transmissions on saturday

there were 10 deaths recorded now the concern is that some critics would suggest it's hard to believe that the country of this size him go from such a huge number of cases infections in the early days and the number of decide that we have 3199 deaths in china so far to such a small number of cases so certainly some people are questioning those figures but if you look at the lots of we're handy at the center of the outbreak and the province it's starting to lift its lockdown we're talking about around 60000000 people 11000000 residents in we have been a lockdown since around january 24 this is before the chinese new year or around the chinese new year period and we spoke to a woman who is living in who by province and she seems to be very happy with the way the lockdown has gone and she said that she feel safer now to be in will have all in her by province than she would be in any other country in the world so what is the latest where you are there i'm sorry not in hong kong we're actually pivoting to south korea my apologies. and south korea they're also

continuing this downward trend they had simply seen a $660.00 cases reported on saturday that was 3 more deaths and south korea is expected to declare a special disaster zone in the city of daegu this is where they have a huge spike a huge number of infections of the coronavirus after that church gathering met in that particular city some time ago they're looking to declare a special disasters are in that area as well as the nearby province of going sung by the government is expected to take that either today or in coming days and basically what that does it provides the government the legal and financial wealth already to come and help some of those disaster stricken businesses or the homes or the people in those particular areas now south korea's also up to its quarantine are that some countries or travelers arriving from france germany spain britain and the netherlands and other spicy remains that those travelers arriving in south korea they will then be forced to have fever checks that have to submit piper's on

the health and they also have to download an app where their health can be attract while they're in south korea now i should say south korea is upping its restrictions but from sunday $136.00 countries around the world have now also increase their travel restrictions on any travelers coming from south korea ok sarah clarke with the wrap up there from on sara thank you. and this pandemic has prompted colombia to shut its land border with venezuela thousands of venezuelans cross the border every day looking for food and medicine and they cannot get it home and factions as elsewhere are rising across latin america and there are concerns that it's not well prepared to deal with an outbreak. for many venezuelans their border with colombia is a lifeline for surviving the economic crisis in their nation. but on saturday colombia's president and now say it's close to contain the spread of cool vague 19

says. the border crossings with venezuela will be closed starting at 5 am it will be done as a protection measure against the situation there is also occurring in the neighboring country. on friday confirmed 2 cases of corona virus but many fear that number could be higher as the country struggles with a humanitarian crisis that has left hospitals without basic supplies including soap and hand sanitizer. doctors in venezuela say they're not ready to cope with a common flu let alone a global pandemic. most of these hospitals are not an acceptable standard about 12 of the military hospitals are not qualified to be able to tend to patients even with the common flu. precedent. has suspended schools and banned public gatherings he's asked people to wear a mask when using the metro in the capital caracas siegel it's simple wear a face mask it's an order for everyone in the next days and weeks better safe than

sorry. in brazil the government has announced a $1000000000.00 to strengthen its public health care system the. president tested negative folk over 1000 and. 5 to a trip to the united states where he met with president donald trump. is to remain in isolation and will be tested again even though the number of cases to latin america remain relatively you know they're likely to increase in the next few weeks and that's why governments are stepping up efforts to try to control it in argentina they're controlling cruel says imports they're also canceling flights and imposing mandatory isolations of those who travel to the united states europe and china schools and public events are also being cancelled last countries try to adapt to what may come ahead. of head of libya's u.n.

recognized government has declared a state of emergency land there and say crossings as well as schools have been ordered shut for 3 weeks of conflict torn nation is yet to report any infections how that authority or we are announcing a nationwide emergency to tackle this continuing threat and i will ensure we are conforming to the w h o's pandemic strategy we're allocating $360000000.00 to tackle what is a critic. situation we will also close all borders and crossings including airports and ports for 3 weeks starting monday sure. running president hassan rouhani has set out again at u.s. sanctions he says are severely tampering his country's response to coronavirus it's the worst affected middle east country with $611.00 deaths and almost $13000.00 and texans security forces have been sent out to clear the streets all religious sites in the holy city of call where this virus was 1st detected they are closed same as robbie is in tehran he says mistrust of the government is also causing problems.

ever since the outbreak began here iran is getting the public on board getting the public to cooperate with much of the guidance coming from the health ministry about social distancing now what has happened today is that the interior ministry has ordered that the city of calm shut down 2 very important shrines actually a shrine as well as a mosque now these are major attractions for people thousands of people visit this these sites on a daily basis and now the order is to close them down but it has to be said in that order it said that they will be closed soon and earlier this evening these sites remained open now it is a good step forward for the government to shut down these sites these home was of course the epicenter of the virus and the beginning these places were known vectors for the virus and the peak of this experts say iran is coming in the next 10 days to 2 weeks so certainly better late than never but critics will say it's too little

too late because the damage has already been done the virus is already spread throughout the country from home into her on the new epicenter of the virus the numbers continue to go up the number of deaths the number of overall cases the government has announced a closure and a stoppage of any construction work any building works that are happening but again many will see this is a half measure because the government is also saying that the quarantine of the capital is a rumor that is untrue and president hassan rouhani has offices said over and over again that that will not happen even though experts and lawmakers are saying that it should. still ahead on al-jazeera fact versus fiction be answering some of the most common questions about rhinovirus and another news of causing a blood shortage in kenya and the impact it's having on patients. and that support no fans but plenty of proportion he says turkey aims to keep its top football players in action.

hello again will begin this time in northeastern parts of asia we've lost one weather system from japan that's moving away into the northern pacific but another area of low pressure is moving in towards western parts of japan later on sunday and into monday troika across much of south korea so looking at sunshine highs of 8 and fine conditions across much of china blue skies in hong kong and it should be fine for the most part across fear showers few and far between here between the forecast through into monday again risk of showers and one into parts of northern vietnam but otherwise we're looking at fine conditions for hong kong for taipei and then for japan that system moves away so we should see it brought me up later on home tokyo not faring too badly with a high here of 14 degrees celsius now moving down into southeastern parts of asia

we've got plenty of showers showing up across western parts of job again such a cottage could see some flooding rain possibly showers expected for kuala lumpur and singapore for the north into thailand to the west from bangkok at times but over in southern vietnam the city looking at highs of $37.00 and staying dry south asia weather generally quieting down and here we loose in the showers across eastern parts of india into bangladesh states anyway should be fine in colombia. join the listening post as we tend make headlines on the media india has more than 424 hour television news channel morning talkers and focus on how they report on the stories that matter the most in the states misleads the public to still be here reflects the same thing. clonic challenge poll their editorial shows

take a dark believe they have anything to apologize for their listening post on al-jazeera . the latest news as it breaks the fast lane service is supposed to start from early next year but the corona virus outbreak could put the brakes on the project and slow down construction with detailed coverage we know that more than 40 people were killed in the violence and officially 350 people were injured from around the world they weren't enough to create a logistical problem for the greek will sorties but they were enough to make many of the people of lesbos aren't yours.

watching out of syria let's recap the top stories right now at all times doctor says the u.s. president has tested negative for a virus that a brazilian delegation recently and several of its members later became sick spain has followed italy and imposed a nationwide lockdown following a sharp increase in corona virus infections prime minister's wife is among the latest to become sick place in the philippines are walking major roads into manila as they start sealing off the capital. 12000000 residents have been told they should only leave home for work and emergencies for at least the next month. now since this outbreak they get information and misinformation have been flowing around the world so we have put some of the biggest questions about corona virus to dr patrick tang news division chief at pathology sciences at sidra medicine so we began by asking whether the virus is mainly a threat to older people we've been hearing about that a lot or could it also be deadly for much younger people as well the virus can

infect people of all ages we've seen newborn babies as well as elderly people infected most of the cases have been found in adults and older people. but the severity of the illness varies according to age most of the deaths that we have seen have been people were over the age of 60 and especially people over the age of 80 you have been made up most of the people have died so about $70000.00 people have recovered from this so another question can coven $1000.00 calls per minute lung damage that would be similar to many other infections of the lung where if you have a serious infection you can have some reduction for lung function after you've recovered in a small percentage of people another question is can you get cold in 1000 more than once there are some reports of people allegedly catching this virus more than whites. there have been anecdotal reports of this occurring but most of us that

deal with these types of infections don't believe that it doesn't make sense in terms of what we know about viruses and how infections that occur so most likely the in these cases people have probably tested false negative so the samples that were collected from them near the end of the recovery were probably may have been collected improperly the maybe the swab didn't get any of the virus on to it and then they tested negative falsely and then later when another sample was taken that one was actually posit so that they're still shedding the virus whether that was about viruses at that point or infectious or not is a different story dozens of south africans brought home from mohan had been moved into quarantine they were working and studying in the chinese city when corona virus was 1st discovered well now residents near the south african quarantine site say the government is putting them at risk and minimal reports in the province of

limpopo. for the $114.00 south africans on board this plane it's been a long 14 hour journey home from the chinese city of will hand a sense of relief after months of lockdown for the coronavirus that has now been partially lifted we spoke to english teacher amy put to way before she left to hand she told us she hadn't left her apartment there for more than 50 days. as the passengers left the plane health officials made sure restrictions were followed roads are blocked off to make the bus journey from the airport and pull kwame to the quarantine sites outside the city as smooth as possible as the bus passes the group appears in good spirits the convoy carrying the south africans

have been repatriated from who hand is passing through this road to the quarantine site just outside the city of. the government's emphasize this is a military operation wanting to assure us all that frequents they're being kept safe despite the government's assurances that they've been multiple screenings and none of the people who came home have to stay positive for covert 19 there's been mixed reaction from people here to what many of us a risky plan and pressured to stay in the situation because i'm not certain that they are having been free and not even sure if they divide us up we welcome them in jail and the one thing there that our country is helping them by asking that feeling we can shake off the group will be quarantined for 21 days officials say as a safety measure at this hotel in the limpopo province should anyone develop symptoms of the covert 1000 virus they'll be removed from quarantine isolated. and

treated at a hospital. of africa. they call it now what else is making news around the world iraq's military says 2 air defense service men and 3 coalition members have been critically injured and a rocket attack on tashi base north of baghdad it's not yet known who is responsible this comes the day after u.s. air strikes on multiple sites in iraq the pentagon says it targeted those responsible for killing 2 americans and one british soldier in an attack on wednesday when a fault in us more from baghdad on why the recent attacks represent yet another escalation well it will certainly come as a surprise and one thing that is particularly remarkable is that today's attack occurred during broad stay alive which is not what we've seen in the past usually these rockets these rocket attacks on military bases that house u.s.

personnel occur at night time so it is a particularly bold move and one that shows that the strikes that we saw early morning on friday against positions of iranian backed groups were not as effective as the pentagon portrayed them to be and one thing that is also certain is that we've now had several days of these tapes for tat attacks and they're resulting in an in an increased number of casualties in total we now have 16 people who were injured and 9 who were killed as a result of these 3 incidents that occurred since march 12th and what is particularly noteworthy to most of these casualties don't really have anything to do with either side their needs are part of the coalition and their needs are part of that uranium back groups and this is exactly what has infuriated many people here in iraq that. iraq a security force or even civilians are being caught up as the u.s. and iranian backed group are settling the scores. they russian turkish ceasefire is

it looks fragile ceasefire is holding for now but people are scared they say agreements have been broken before and they've had to move their homes multiple times the fear now is that with government forces closing in refugees unwelcome and borders closed they're even running out of space inside syria to escape the fighting some of a job with al-jazeera on the turkey syria border sunday marks one year since $51.00 worshippers were killed at 2 mosques in new zealand special prayers were held on friday and flowers have been laid outside the mass in the city of christ church. has forced the cancellation of the main memorial services that are planned an australian man is due to go on trial and show. we are saying it's more than we are be angry. and. is a very emotional and when i wake up this morning it's.

the speeches i can't explain what i feel this morning is that. i was thinking and look at the top i said ok is 8 o'clock now. it's. 5 hours later last year. going to be injured with 9 bullets to have a con is founder and chief executive of condition of leadership network which supports muslim women in our communities and professionally she joins us live from auckland thank you very much i'm not sure if you were able to listen to to that man but he seemed to be having a difficult time putting his feelings into words but he said basically on this anniversary he feels more sad than then anger how do you feel if i say thank you having me and look i i think that is the sentiment for a lot of people who survived and were deeply affected by the attack last year there is a lot of sadness of the muslim community not just in christ and the entire country

and of course we're of far apart as well in other parts of the world so what if anything has changed as a result of the aftermath of what happened there i mean i'm sure you recall that in the aftermath that the world looked to the example that it same that new zealand seem to be setting as far as community people reaching out to each other how is that really turned into something concrete. you know i think that's a very good question and look we've had lots of people ask us that very question it's difficult to onset it's difficult to qualify or quantified it depends on what change we were hoping for so as you have heard from a lot of survivors stones who were affected by the attack last year they have to live on whether a lot of physical complications financial complications the impact on their mental

health so for the community a year on there is a lot of devastation and it will continue that it's you know you can't put a time stamp on it if i'm looking at change more widely and society while the answers are what's happening around the world and if you look around the world really hatred is rising edge is rising particularly for muslims when you look at india when you look at china when you look at what's happening in iraq you know so the situation isn't really getting any how it's difficult for us to be answering that question i think that is a question for everyone else how did they think things have changed where in a difficult position where if we don't seem like we are that for all the support that we received if you give it up to match the attack it seems like we haven't really paid attention to it but the reality is that being muslim and today's world isn't an easy thing to do so it's a very very loaded question so is not the onus on doing something about bigotry not

a not for the people who are being discriminated event against or hated to do something about it is about the larger community beyond them to do something about . absolutely that's exactly what i'm saying i think we need to be asking this question you know what ever it were they were on else is not a question for the muslim community who were affected by the attack to ask them hey what is the change what do you think has changed is a very very difficult question where we're kind of almost put in a really difficult situation at this is a societal question we need to look at what is happening around us and how we're all waiting together to improve the situation and so if you look at what's happening in terms of just some of the incidents in the last year i mean women have still had their jobs people still being you know they still receive racial attacks they still prejudiced going on people still don't land jobs because they're

a bit particular race or they wear the hijab or you know and i'm they have a bit so those behaviors with a fall much the 15th and they were not going to go away simply because we lost 51 lives this is a much more deeply embedded problem and we need to look at that as a whole not just one community because on with they could a.j. leadership network thank you very much taber appreciate it thank you. but banks of kenya's public hospitals are running dry forcing many patients to ask for donations themselves as funding for a transfusion transfusion centers was last year reports from nairobi. it has taken helen barazan month to get 4 pints of blood from a government hospital so she can start her cancer treatment was recently diagnosed with cervical cancer and traveled to nairobi from western kenya to begin radiation therapy sessions doctors told her she needed more blood but the hospital did not

have it neither was it possible for people to donate because the national transfusion center was shot of screening agents so. i'm just praying and i know it will get better i have faith but i've gone through with this diseases and i have looked for blood everywhere in eventually i found it i was in so much pain and stress wondering what will happen to me if i don't get the blood in september last year the u.s. government withdrew funds it almost and tiredly paid for government blood services in kenya with no donor money the health ministry appears to be struggling to sustain blood donation programs screening as well as paying staff members in centers across the country government officials say the problem is being resolved but now the police are also investigating claims that some health workers are selling the little blood available to hospitals in somalia the head of

a parliamentary committee and house told al jazeera the government had made no alternative plans to fill the financial gup after the us kept its funding comes in the blood that is available. there it's not available for use. but it comes in and the whole of the entire problem is tied up to the issue of resources the health ministry has now ramped up blood drives according to world health organization guidelines. a country like kenya with 47000000 people should be collecting up to a 1000000 units of blood every yard yet on average only about 864000 units are collected and mostly from schools and universities private hospitals have their own blood bags but many are not accessible to people with no money or insurance like helen barraza in the whole group or let you live up to 600 lives every month doctors organize a regular blood donation campaign and the screening is downright. help with

a too expensive for many kenyan doctors say blood is also running low because many kenyans are reluctant to donate mainly because of cultural and religious reasons as well as possible fear is. high radiation sessions but she knows this may not be the end and she might need more blood catherine soy al-jazeera nairobi kenya coming up next in sports and he will look at all pakistani cricketers are playing on even as sports around the globe. it could be the biggest land grab in history. as powerful nations lay claim to territories under the ocean $21.00 geologists are secretly plotting new borders.
