here in the cleaning wave gaming people are not necessarily game perfect this is a journey of progress and not perfection amount is iraq. more than a 1000000000 indians are ordered to stay indoors after the prime minister imposed a 14 hour curfew to combat coronavirus. logan m.p. said over here in doha you are watching al-jazeera also coming up more coronavirus restrictions in italy after 793 people die in one single day. and i'm nicholas hawke indycar senegal where sea air land borders are shocked

public gatherings are banned find out next why senegal is edging closer to a full law down at the corona virus continues to spread. in other headlining stories the unprecedented drought that's making life difficult for millions of people in chile. as get going the numbers get more alarming by the day more than 300000 people around the world now the coronavirus with 13000 the epicenter it's only reported nearly 800 on saturday alone more countries are ordering lockdowns such as india where more than a 1000000000 people have been asked to stay indoors a 14 hour nationwide curfews in place as confirmed cases near 300 australia's prime minister is warning of tighter restrictions closing all beaches to end for. social

distancing some states and territories shutting their internal borders thailand is reporting its biggest daily increase with $188.00 new cases taking the total to almost $600.00 the capital bangkok is under a partial shutdown from sunday we have standing by for us in hong kong for an update on what's going on in southeast asia 1st to the indian capital new delhi and our correspondent elizabeth piron i'm so liz so many people being told to stay at home do we know how long these restrictions will stay in place. well peter when promised in that in the morning address the nation on thursday asking people to observe this curfew on sunday from 7 o'clock in the morning to 9 pm at night he did just say that it was for sunday that it was going to be you know a day of showing. self-restraint but what we're seeing now is a number of states around the country you know from punjab. now telling ghana are

extending the lockdown beyond today and other states go ahead marching for the. northeastern states closing their borders saturday for the biggest jump in the number of cases we have 341 now and these are just confirmed cases peter 6 dead 41 of the confirmed cases are foreign nationals and the concern with india is that it has seen for a population of 1300000000 people 341 doesn't seem like very much but it's important to keep in mind that india has performed the lowest number of tests among affected countries something like 3 per 1000000 and before they're introduced now they're bringing in private hospitals to expand testing but before that they were testing something like 90 per day and health experts around the country are really concerned that the very low level of testing in india has been hiding the real

number of cases so in an effort to contain it to stop the spread from getting into the community the indian government has taken all these measures including today's could you know international commercial flights allowed to land for a week in the last hour or so we've heard from indian railways who have canceled all the passenger trains around the country to the end of the month this is one of the biggest railway networks in the world the government taking all of these measures to make sure that they try to see. stop corona virus from entering the community transmission phase in a country with 1300000000 people and with all that in mind a lot of speculation that today's curfew will be extended elizabeth thanks very much we'll talk to you later i'm sure we'll with more on what's happening in thailand and other parts of southeast asia to go pollan joins us from hong kong so do we were talking about thailand we're talking about singapore hong kong i guess

as well but also china. that's right peter let me start with thailand 30 percent rice in a single day now that according to the health ministries are attributed to a boxing match earlier this month where thousands of people had attended people had been infected at the infected people had attended that match the spread across the nation but the thai health ministry says most of the infections we are seeing a recent infections are in bangkok and they're mostly young people who have not heeded the calls for social distancing and carry on carrying on with their social activities despite the fact that the thai government has put down a partial lockdown on the country the thing is thailand had from very early on been aware of the possibility of imported cases and so had very heavy border

restrictions but they hadn't put the lock downs that we've seen in other countries and that seems to have somewhat backfired meanwhile singapore is a once again battling what they're calling imported cases saying that 80 percent of the new cases that they have seen in the past 3 days are from overseas since singapore is a transport hub a very popular tourist destination to singapore is now restricting any passenger or any international arrival that is not a resident or citizen or permit work permits holder so if transit whether transiting or just traveling for a short stay in singapore you will not be allowed to come into the country meanwhile in china once again same issue imported cases they had a lengthy battle with the outbreak from which surface there for at the end of last year 81000 cases to date the managed to bring them the rise to the forty's over the past few days of the pos 3 consecutive consecutive days all the cases were from

overseas but for the 1st time today. that's a domestically transmitted case apparently connected to an imported case and so china is also stepping up the defenses along its borders thank you very much we'll talk to you as well a little later i'm sure iran is one of the hardest hit most affected countries with more than 1500 deaths the supreme leader today making a national address that anyway just a short time ago saying he is baffled by an unconfirmed offer of american help cham blood toilets i don't normally call the americans have offered help to iranian medical support and medicine but they have us to make their request for help which is strange why should they ask us to make their request the u.s. is short of medicines the mayor of us city is confessing that they have shortcomings in preventing the disease the u.s. should help itself and its people. well the number of deaths in italy has now

reached another daily high almost 800 in the latest effort to stop the spread of the virus the government has ordered all but essential factories and businesses to close challenge as the european angle of the story from london this military convoy in northern italy is carrying a grim cargo 30 coffins with the bodies of 30 coronavirus victims headed to a small village for crim a sion because there are too many covert 19 dead in the nearby city of bergen and with italy recording its deadliest day of the outbreak yet with another nearly 800 deaths that could be more convoys like this needed. spain now has the 3rd highest number of infections worldwide with around 25000 the death toll has passed 1300 now to help madrid and barcelona are converting exhibition centers into field hospitals for the sick germany has had

a spike in confirmed cases up to more than 16 and a half 1000 and there are now temporary fences on its border with switzerland the german government is considering whether to bring in a full nationwide ban on going outside where much of europe has already gone with its lockdown and social distancing measures the u.k. is following economically culturally and socially this is a country that has been transformed in just a few days. by order of the governments the u.k. is now pretty much closed pubs cafes restaurants gyms museums nursery schools and universities all shut for the foreseeable future the capital's buses and metro system are empty don't use them unless your job is critical people in london are being told this usually teaming metropolis is quiet. i think it's good news that it's good news in terms of that they're looking after people that lesion on their wages the fact that they're stopping hopefully or spreading the restaurants i think

they've done the right thing we went out last night for the last hour and sort of chipped up a little bit harder than we should have i suppose so just the sort of people going along and it's sad for the small businesses but hopefully the government to kick in and sort of support people along the government is trying to stop a wave of panic buying that has stripped supermarket shelves bare this week. be responsible when you shop and think of others buying more than you need means that others may be left without and it is making life more difficult for those frontline workers such as our doctors and nurses and n.h.s. support staff who are working so hard in such difficult circumstances. to prevent total collapse the government will prop up businesses and guarantee 80 percent of all wages it's an unprecedented temporary nationalisation of the u.k.'s economy rory chalons al-jazeera london your thoughts is in palestine have confirmed the 1st

with new transmissions and increased testing the number of u.s. cases is approaching 23000 with nearly 300 deaths more than 80000000 americans have been ordered to stay at home so for about a quarter of the united states the most common street sound is silence and to 'd the republic for which it stands on capitol hill congressional leaders hope to approve nearly 2 trillion dollars in aid to businesses and residents is soon as monday but some governors say they are making progress despite a lack of federal help the federal government is like lucy with the football and i feel like charlie brown weeks. you know we were promised tests are we seeing more tests yes but not even at the numbers that were promised weeks ago with coronavirus cases rising rapidly across the u.s. state leaders say time is running out john hendren al-jazeera chicago. still

of tourists and diplomats are being repatch redid even the united states murshid ship a floating hospital with 400 nurses and doctors on board meant to offer help is leaving senegal when the country needs it the most. meanwhile china is helping build makeshift hospitals the outbreak is showing who can count on in times of crisis and while there are relatively few numbers of cases already the beds in the intensive care unit are full and so the government is turning this all the airport into both a porn tiny area and a makeshift hospital to treat those that have the symptoms of the virus it seems that this country is seeking the chinese approach in tackling the outbreak. mosques are closed public gatherings are banned the military are deploying mobile clinics senegal is edging closer to a full lockdown aside from isolation there seems to be no other solution to

stopping the virus from spreading nicholas hark al jazeera to car. there are reports of violent protests a number of prisons across colombia as panic spreads because of coronavirus prisoners fear an outbreak of the virus behind bars the government to stop people in recent days going in to see prisoners in a pit stop the spread of the virus construction workers in russia are of racing to finish an isolation hospital for covert 1000 patients motivational posters have been placed around the site near moscow to inspire thousands of laborers building the 500 bed facility the russian president vladimir putin says he believes the pandemic is under control but case number surpassed 300 turkeys coronavirus death toll has more than doubled in the past 24 hours rising by 12 to a total of 21 the number of confirmed cases has also jumped by nearly 300 bringing the total to just under 1000 the authorities on saturday did extend measures aimed at slowing the spread of the virus include a curfew on the elderly

a suspension of flights from $46.00 countries and a ban on picnics and barbeques the government of qatar is closing more public spaces including all beaches parks are already off limits as well as restaurants cafes and shopping malls the gulf country has recorded almost 500 cases it says most of expatriate workers. gross i think that it is now evident that corona virus is more contagious than we could have imagined it spreading among individuals rapidly and widely this is beyond anybody's imagination and it doesn't require more than getting in contact with a person within a proximity of one meter and it only takes a few seconds also studies have shown it can remain on surfaces for a number of hours if not days. libya's warring sides have agreed to a cease fire to focus on one shared enemy no cases of the coronavirus have been reported but the health system would struggle to cope with any large scale outbreak

last week schools were closed flights canceled and borders shot as well. while jazeera has spoken to one doctor in southern italy who's tested positive for the virus just spina is a specialist there he was working in the only hospital in his area when his wife fell ill his tongue. is now unlocked the hospital's being closed and he is in quarantine and thought all the cases a link to a school but some have accused doctors been spreading the illness is historic knowing that i'm not my town moliterno in the basilica region has a cluster of coronavirus cases there are not many towns in the south like militant which is in total lockdown there's no movement allowed looks like life has been extinguished here it's like a ghost town there's no one outside apart from a few people at the pharmacy or the local grocery stores and. in the days before my wife contracted the virus a few people visited the house friends and colleagues and people who've been tested

you know with my wife it happened all of a sudden she was healthy and then suddenly came down with a fever in a heavy dry cough it was violent and very strong and what really caught my attention was that her oxygen levels dropped dramatically on top of that is the other symptoms the lung obstruction persistent shaking and coughing tightness in an intense migraine will let if you will die the difficulty in the south of italy is that there's not enough tests you're only a few to surveil every day in the entire region but more importantly it's absurd how difficult it is to find protective equipment like the face masks and gowns necessary to fight covert $19000000000.00 and when i treated my wife at 1st i wasn't wearing protective gear because she had a small fever so i didn't think she had. 19 so that's how i caught the virus as well i'd been taking consultations in the hospital and various departments while i was positive but i didn't know it and so the hospital's closed down temporarily to

clean and sanitizing the entire compound all my colleagues were tested not just the doctors but also the paramedics and the nurses. from a human point of view 19 has been devastated because my wife was the 1st confirmed case in the whole basilica region it's unleashed an incredible wasp next door around me related to the gossip those who thought that i was the one who brought this virus to our area but covered 19 is a global pandemic it doesn't respect borders doesn't follow rules the virus has reached all corners of the globe in some way i do feel guilty guilty for having a germ even though i don't have any symptoms and even though i'm living with it my life continues normally except i've lost a bit of appetite makes one understand just how incredibly dangerous this virus can be for a human body if you don't have a strong immune system to fight it this virus will inflict heavy damage and that's why there of being thousands of deaths in our country. violence broke out in guinea

ahead of a controversial referendum to decide whether the president stays in office at these 2 m.p.'s have been arrested ahead of the elections on sunday despite attacks on several polling sites the government is still urging people to go out and vote. as the story oh. clashes between anti-government protesters and security forces capital surround a contentious referendum which could allow the president to extend his career on power several government offices and schools that were to be used as holding stations have been set on fire by demonstrators election material was destroyed and ballots burned to prevent people from voting will keep protesting until he respects the constitution and until. he stops his plans for a 3rd term that's mandatory no matter what the president also ponder has been in power since 2010 the referendum will decide whether the 82 year old can extend his

presidency potentially for another 12 years he rescheduled the referendum last month when millions of unaccounted names were listed on the electoral roll. the list dropped from more than 8000000 voters to 7700000 and now to 5000000 no one knows what methods were used or how this was done there was no participation from the opposition or from any credible international institution. now unease over the potential spread of the new coronavirus has calls for their own arrest but what the government and its opponents have mostly ignored calls to cancel mass gatherings their legs under the new property so far we only know 2 cases of the virus so this does not pose a threat to the elections those who disagree should show me scientific evidence that shows otherwise. thousands of protesters have taken to the streets since october to speak out against home there and his government they say the economy is

weak and their leaders corrupt and was running out we're tired of offical we're tired of hunger killing and threats we say no to the referendum. the divide is growing between the government of get his 1st democratically elected president and those who say it's time for him to step down paths here this is a young al-jazeera. it's international water day a critical resource at all times let alone during a pandemic but that's been the challenge for millions of people in chile facing an unprecedented drought in america at its mercy and human as more. doesn't have enough water to wash her hands which is regarded as the 1st line of defense against the coronavirus what's left here is for drinking because a cistern truck won't bring her weekly ration until tomorrow her vegetable patch has been reduced to tiny onions what should with what's left from the rinse cycle

of her washing machine but do mean that doesn't blame the lack of water on chilies severe drought. in them that i would ask the government to leave some of the water there all the programs are using to us so that we can live through. in chile's robot daughter good region the contrast is striking lush green hills of a car goes for export surrounded by totally parched land it's possible because chile's water law and water code allow the state to grant free access in perpetuity to economic interests in 1980 when general i was still pinochet came up with his new constitution and water law no one raised a red flag because it was plenty of water to go around back then no one could have envisaged the impact of climate change nor the extraordinary expansion of chile's agricultural and forestry industries which are more or more leaving families who have been farming here for generations high and dry without

a drop of water coming from a woman agricultural engineer. leads a nationwide movement to change article 19 of the constitution which establishes that water is an economic as well as a public resource. on our visit to petaca we stumble into a large tube used to carry water up the hill to a massive avocado plantation from a now dry well. this is highway robbery to capture underground water even half the river is gone dry it is illegal but the state turned to blind are. small farmers and ranchers in petaca can't afford to drill up to 200 metres to access underground aquifers these are a sign of protest hung by farmers an estimated 10000 animals have died of thirst in the last 6 months alone. to the sentiment you know what we are saying that a new constitution must consecrate water as a public and human right and build

a new hydro institution ality establishing policies of the use of water the problem isn't avocados but our distorted economic model. it's a model which. politicians of all political colors are taking full advantage of changing the water law has strong public support but like everything else a referendum on whether to rewrite the constitution has been put on hold until after the pandemic passes you see in human al-jazeera the dark. ok let's recap the top stories for you so far today more than a 1000000000 indians are under a 14 hour nationwide curfew to stop the spread of coronavirus the government's also banned all international flights and impose self isolation for those returning from abroad elizabeth has more now from new delhi there are something like 324 confirmed
