with retracing the tape through the criminal organizations making big profits and asking why the west is turning a blind eye. on the waste trail on al jazeera. the number of deaths related to the corona virus in spain jumps again 832 new deaths reported in the last 24 hours. and i'm richelle carey this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up life slowly begins to return to normal and who province once the up the center of the virus in china. and infections soar past 100000 in the united states president title trumps

science all 102.2 trillion dollar rescue package. and germany has some of the most spread of virus cases in the world in its death rate is far lower than its neighbors will tell you what the lead has to be doing right. now to get in spain where the death toll has surged again in the past 24 hours figures just really show $832.00 people have died from the corona virus so that means a total of nearly 500-5700 have died there since the outbreak began the number of infected has also jumped to more than 72000 italy is also struggling to get this epidemic under control on friday recorded the highest death toll in a single day anywhere in the world $919.00 people died of the virus in just 24 hours and the united states president donald trump has signed off on

a $2.00 trillion dollars stimulus package also invoke the defense production act which will force companies to manufacture much needed medical equipment. so for more on the spike in deaths since let's take a look at the figures now from the johns hopkins university as you can see the total confirmed cases around the world are of 602000 and as you mentioned the united states is about 100000 spain at 65000 so for more on the spike in deaths to spain let's go to marta herrera who is in madrid some are to what is what is the government saying about this these latest numbers well government hasn't made any statement at all yet but health minister figures have gave us the daily figures about the death toll and these are the worst 24 hours in spain since the outbreak of coronavirus heated our country so we're talking about 832 people that have died

in the past 24 hours bringing spain's death toll by car in of our buyers to $5690.00 the total of infected people or infected cases in spain is $72000.00 b.c. as you know smudgy being the epicenter or the ground 0 of the whole pandemic cannot cope anymore with the cost of all of that all of that bodies all the people have died that have died under many people feel not funeral company had to had to open an ice rink to to take their all the people that have died but they kind of call there anymore and they have arranged to separate set up everything in its courts so the situation is quite critical right now so where is spain able to get help from because obviously italy and so many other countries are struggling where can can help come from for spain. well we don't know the answer because i think

every every country in the european union uses in the same situation. we're blaming old people are blaming the government because they didn't take action before hand because everybody knew what was going on we had the example of china we had eternally and they knew they didn't. they didn't prevent all of all of this coming so regional regional governments are responsible of all those that protective equipment for for health care workers and foot portfolio police officers test kits and everything and they're being delayed to to come to to a country so we don't know we don't really know what's going to happen next are to remind us again what type of restrictions and lockdowns are in place in spain right now. in spain you can only go out from home just for for basic necessities like going to buy groceries to go to the pharmacy to go to the hospital maybe to the best some bits are open so you can take your pets you can go out for

a walk in if you need to go out with your if you go to a pet at home and you can go for out for a walk with the dog and that's all good those are all the restrictions are less you're working of course during the week if you're if you have to go to a company and go to work you can also go to work. is there a feeling that people are actually hearing to that from what you can tell. well people have got concerned this last weekend we are many people taking their cars and going out for the cook to the cold storage going to their 2nd homes but these wiccan yesterday there was so on the television the restrictions on the police have reported that there were less people going out or taking the cars so i get i guess people with these figures that have been released today i was saying it 10835 to more. people have died in the past 24 hours people are more concerned and more concerned so i see people not moving around so much ok marta her thank you very much for that update we are getting new numbers on coven 1000

virus down the acknowledged that that is hurting business as it is it is hurting people's lives but he promised it and said that when they see a downward trend in different provinces which he said is happening in certain areas then they will begin to loosen the reins a bit on the movement of the population but there is some bad news a senior health official in the health ministry said that the virus may have started spreading a month earlier than it was made public around january 21st is when he said this virus was likely 1st started spreading around the country but they couldn't they couldn't actually spot they didn't catch it until a month later simply because it wasn't showing signs that they were used to or able to identify so this may be spreading well before it became a publicly acknowledged health crisis in the country. and japan more than 60 new confirmed cases of the virus have been reported in tokyo it's a record daily increase in the number of infections in the capital the governor tens of millions of people in the capital and surrounding areas to avoid all
