so. why not trash it's. the witness documentary. a bleak prediction from the top health official in the u.s. who says they could be millions of cases and up 220-0000 deaths there. is lee meanwhile has seen another cold and its daily death toll but it remains a by far the west affected country. hello again i'm the tail and this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up asian countries are shutting more doors and borders while china gets increasingly worried

about a new wave of infections from outside. and we'll take you to greece where aid agencies say unsanitary conditions at a refugee camp risking lives. well we start in the united states where corona virus infection and fatality rates are rising fast and now the country's foremost infectious diseases expert has given his prediction of just how bad things will get dr anthony felt she says there could be between 10200000 deaths in the u.s. and millions of cases his warning comes as the federal government considers rolling back some containment measures meanwhile in europe spain recorded another 838 deaths on saturday that's a new high its infection rate however was loa and in the u.k. there's been 209 deaths in the past 24 hours right. the total there to 2118

a short time ago the housing minister said the u.k. hasn't experienced such emergency measures since world war 2 well here's our team this hour francesca may not she is standing by for us in rome where talian officials have announced another 756 deaths sonia gago will bring us more from the u.k. she's in london but 1st let's go to alan fischer near washington d.c. and i want to start by listening to dr anthony fauci is dire predictions for what the u.s. outbreak may look like here's what he said on c.n.n. looking at what we're seeing you know i would say between 10200000 cases but i don't want to be held to that because it's scuse me deaths i mean we're going to have millions of cases but i just don't think that we really need to make a projection when it's such a moving target and i'm just listening to that a startling prediction there from anthony. well if it said really with the

predictions have been saying that there's going to be around a one percent fatality and if you talk about a 1000000 people contract in the disease then the inevitable fact is you're going to have somewhere in the region of 12200000 victims i think seeing those figures out loud on a sunday morning it's something that will shock people that are going to be that many victims that there are going to be many communities across the country that a good to be impacted by the number of people who die as antony felt she says though it is a moving target constantly reviewing at the models from 100-002-2000 extension 00 it's a stark number but there's a big gap particularly for families if you're talking about 100000 dead or 200000 dead that 100000 people that may not die because of this but certainly it puts into fresh relief the idea that there would be even the suggestion that the country

would be coming out of this crisis in 2 weeks remember just in the middle of last week donald trump said he wanted to see the country perhaps reopening insanity is by easter that is 2 weeks today he wanted to see the church is packed with people giving thanks that seems highly unlikely given what and to the fire has been saying just in the last couple of hours well i will say right now hearing from the new york force well governor andrew cuomo has also been giving for battle thoughts on this what else has all been found. well he of course said just 24 hours ago that new york where 50 percent of the cases in the united states are centered he said in new york they are still 2 to 3 weeks away from the apex of this disease and so they're seeing an increase in numbers daily of those who are dying but he says they're also see an increase in the number of people who are getting out of

hospital having been treated for this the whole game from the moment for new yorkers to get ahead of the car and the important thing for them is to make sure that they prepare for the wash case scenario something that the health professionals say that they have enough beds and a ventilator so if in 2 or 3 weeks' time we are talking about hundreds of thousands of victims and possibly tens of thousands of fatalities sent me thousands of fatalities in new york if you go with that one percent figure but the governor is also saying that people still need to be smart about this that they can't be going out mixing with people ignoring the instructions from state and local governments to stay at home. if you're not in a highly affected health area now. that doesn't mean you're not going to have a real situation to deal with because these numbers are just going to continue to

go up all across the state we put in place the new york pause program today i am going to extend it to april 15th the directive that non-essential state workforce continue to work from home we're doing it in 2 week intervals because every day is a new day and. we'll see what happens day to day but i think it's not even questionable today but that we're going to need 2 more weeks of non-essential workers. so it's interesting the governor of new york is saying at least 2 more weeks of essential workers staying at home there's another problem as well with the number of people that get infected in so many people went to new orleans for mardi gras it is traditional there's about 1500000 people there they were all celebrating questions to the louisiana governor today why didn't you close

it down at that point and he said this was at the point where the government says we have this contained within top of this there are 15 cases it will soon be done to another thing to make a point about is 24 hours ago we were talking about perhaps the tri state area that's new york new jersey and connecticut coming under some sort of warranty or done when quite sure how that was going to happen what andrew cuomo said is with the president announcing that on his way to a helicopter with no real detail it caused panic and they were dealing with the panic that that had created on top of everything else so he's essentially saying the federal government needs to be clear in its message and not create this sort of panic rhode island was one state that decided it was going to essentially tundra new york cars as soon as they crossed the border they were putting in a quarantine essentially chasing new yorkers are to the state and said he spoke to the governor that order has not been rescinded. or there with all the latest from

the united states speaking to us from just outside washington d.c. thank you. well across the atlantic and its latest in the last hour has reported and now that $756.00 deaths from the corona virus that's slightly lower than the day before and still has the highest death toll in the wild now at $10779.00 more than $5000.00 new infections were also reported and the government says it is likely that a nationwide lockdown will be extended beyond april fed to try to stop the spread well it's now speak to french eskimo not to share that ryan for us francesca has another day incredible stocking on this. yeah we hear that not in the red that me we be in love now and we are we have been and our friends mean it yet they announce the now i am now or you are not me with the court with them that now i'm better. than. i. would that

be they won't remember but that they that girl ride they will leave they were they in the beginning of the crowd i knew when i am out there running for our mom and you think that we're in a buyer and then our rent that $79.00 with $700.00. new that there are plenty but our number are that number we think it will yeah i even any rate if you blow away at the rate of nearly back it will now you know that. you can't wait and see it and met. her and for the moment you need. they are what's happening in the outback. and that a lot but the yet that they we there. that. knew

in fact that in the may that may it not but the and lot of the most important in the world count. yet that they are we as. you are not me. and you are in fact. number we wrote that. 97 then the number of people. that are far. more than ng that not bird. unique that he out warning that they're not. useful what. are not for modern. a lot oh. man i'm not a model not writer. not in. the.

then i'm better probably *. not. and that were plenty where i mean that yes they. economy need it but what yet in our. own there are funded. by men who need it and people in by brokering it because. of the need that you would. not make. out the ground they end up being. and that you'll know how to buy. outright. and they would then imagine that you know that. you they could go in for a ladder when you grow up be. supermarket.

and no money to buy food. and so it may have a rap. video on. you. 2 weeks ago francesca minot she that live for us in raw and challenging times well let's now cross to a guy who's joining us via skype from london so new we've been hearing the latest update from british government just in the last couple of hours or so talk us through what we had from them today. but essentially what was announced by the housing minister is the establishment of the strategic coordination center is. led by gold c'mon it's in effect a strategy a response that has not been seen since the 2nd world war and these are going to be controlling and coordinating the response with the military involved with the whole aspects of the health service and hold ambulances as well and they are also

going to be coordinating the response across the country and post-war nations of the united kingdom make up the united kingdom now also what is one of the main priorities is getting the personal protective equipment to the frontline health leftists who need it most this has been a very still bone of contention amongst those who've been working in health centers and hospitals across the country they simply have not had any of that equipment or the best minimal of that equipment with which to be able to do a job and they have those on the front lines of dealing with the pandemic as well now partly it has been according to the chief medical officer a case of just waiting for certain components which simply aren't available because there isn't enough of them white but there is there are now gearing up to get them out as quickly as possible not just to the 58000 hospitals across the u.k.

but also. because to care homes social care workers as well you have also like 1500000 people who are vulnerable and have to stay at home for 12 weeks is also not the coordinated response being done that again with the military involved as well with trying to get to them basic communities such as food as well as prescription drugs as well but there's also a lot of talk about exactly how to fuel costs when we are going to be seeing the peak of this in the. u.k. and while the numbers continue to climb it's still not being seen in we still don't have the same numbers as is being seen in italy or spain how. this is because if you look across that a very emplaced that the u.k. used one to 2 weeks behind southern europe and in that respect and that's frankly we are going to be seeing huge numbers here unless people lead to those government

measures that have been called for the social distancing not mixing with other people going out for the bare essentials the bare minimum possible if and this is the message that is being relayed time and time again by the government by the chief medical offices of scientific advice is really if we are to get ahead of that we've got to try and a fraction it and not see the some of the disastrous numbers that have been seen all across the continent that really people have to start accepting these measures and really start taking them extremely seriously because the real fear is that the health service here in this country will simply not be able to cope with the numbers frankly the health service has already been has already seen a low rate of i.c.u. units that across the country one of the lowest in europe and the system simply will not be able to cope if it becomes overwhelmed by people infected with the virus so that life for us in london thank you sagna well let's take you now to

continental europe and as we've been saying spain's death toll from the pandemic has risen once again with more than 800 people dead just in the past 24 hours that brings its total to more than 6500 correspondent has the latest from the great. today the death toll has reached 605 or so and 6500 people die it 100 more fatalities a 138 more fatalities in 24 hours so we have seen how the number of infected people 79000 has gone down a little bit but even these figures are really back during the daily briefing have authorities have recognize or at media that 6 managed regions are at the limits of their intensive care capacity they don't tell us which we use but. we we have to wait until they tell us which regions but it could happen the same thing as in madrid that has become the epicenter of the of the grown up virus outbreak hearing

spain with all these hospitals overwhelmed and set up with these ice rink or some more because the funeral than the municipal funerals couldn't call any more and maybe in a few days' time work see how the court room this building becoming another funeral home to so we have to wait a little bit to see what happens next. well nasa errs our web is getting more worried about infections coming from abroad now last week the mainland closed its borders to all foreigners except those coming from hong kong and macau several other countries are now also taken similar measures including cambodia and thailand sarah clarke reports. beach is normally heaving with tourists at this time of year empty implicate the seaside city has hundreds of resorts bars and restaurants it's now been labeled a coronavirus hotspot after reporting a rise in infections this week but the government blaming tourists and locals for not keeping their distance the city apartheid south of bangkok is traditionally

a tourist haven it too has been deprived of visitors with businesses and restaurants forced to close after the government declared a state of emergency this is the worst that i've ever hit party yeah. during the past or the 3 weeks. so much businesses has already told it has already went bankrupt closed down due to coronado iris thailand has closed its doors to all foreigners that's left many without jobs this restaurant in pitot has reinvented itself it is now a community kitchen feeding hundreds of residents struggling to cope without an income i think about hand baggage on our part we're giving out free food to people who bore the brunt of the situation at least they can save up to around $40.00 to $50.00 baht for a meal per day adding a lifeline for them on sunday are announced a temporary suspension of all visas for foreigners cambodia too will stop issuing

visas on arrival for at least a month as the government tightens restrictions on travel as in a bid to combat the surge of the coronavirus cases but as countries across i close their borders the city at the heart of the corona virus outbreak continues to welcome new arrivals well than 60000 people were turned to hand on. today as train stations and roads reopened after a 2 month lock down flights will resume on the 8th of april when residents are finally allowed to leave the city civic each of course much better now there wasn't any people on the street before nothing on the street there was scary no other control no it's great right from this weekend china is banning all foreigners from entering in a bid to stem the number of imported infections hong kong is doing assignment from sunday it's also restricting the number of people in public gatherings to fool people those who defy the law face up to 6 months in jail sarah clarke al-jazeera

hong kong. the woman in syria has died from covert $1000.00 and capital damascus it's the 1st death in the country which has confirmed 5 other cases president bashar al assad's government has taken measures to prevent the spread of rebel controlled areas like in a province aid workers say the millions of displaced people are at risk in overcrowded camps while doctors without borders is also warning that refugees on the greek island of lez boss are in a great risk of coronavirus and need to be moved immediately and a statement the charity said the overcrowded and horrific living conditions in the camps the hot spots on the greek islands provide the perfect storm for a curve at 19 outbreak given the lack of adequate sanitation services and the severely limited medical care the risk of the virus spreading among the inhabitants of the camps in greece is extremely high once they've been exposed john reports on why conditions also bad. like thousands of other asylum seekers this resident of

moriah camp is lighting a fire to warm himself and cook lunch and like thousands of others he's using a piece of plastic to start it fires are the only source of heat in winter aid groups say they cause serious respiratory problems and the burning of plastic makes them even more dangerous one of the asthmatic patients the father explained to me that one night he came back home they were heating the tent with the hold coals inside and when he arrived back none of his family members. were it was unable to wake them. and had to drop them outside they slowly recovered so most probably this was like a carbon monoxide poisoning it's easy to burn rubbish because it isn't being collected a local contractor is paid to pick it up inside the official camp and to a radius of 10 meters outside the camp fence but within that space we found this ravine filled with it greases reception service is responsible for awarding

sanitation contracts a former director says governments don't properly oversee contractors'. a great public worker who's moved from the mainland works for 475 euros and sleeps in the same conditions as a refugee stands in stark contrast to an ingenious sanitation worker in athens who earns 1500 euros a month this inequality explains why the final result and sanitation isn't what with white. raw sewage also seeps into this ravine where children play because at 20000 people this camp is filled to 7 times capacity and its sewage pipe overflows a pipe designed years before it was built thanks clearly the delay in building the sewage pipe was to extend the use of the sewage trucks which cost huge amounts in my view over 4000000 euros and maria and the other islands that money could have been spent on sewage treatment plants they didn't happen and why not because they

were interests against it i've seen this to the list for us prosecutor the government says it will take 10000 asylum seekers off the islands and ship them to the mainland in the coming weeks another 5000 will be offered a generous financial incentive to go home and the european union says it will take at least 1600 unaccompanied minors off greece's hands reducing the numbers might be a short term solution but it does not address the deeper problem of mismanagement relieve greek taxpayers of the bills the european union may refuse to pay as a result jobs are open last al-jazeera less force. has recorded its fast coronavirus related death its health ministry says they expect from bangladesh was 57 years old and had the health conditions 28 more infections were confound on saturday bringing the total to nearly 600 cattle has closed all non-essential

businesses and is allowing only its citizens to enter the country well the airline and tourism industries were among the fast economic casualties of this pandemic and as countries continue to impose restrictions many airlines have drastically cut their passenger flights we spoke to casa airways group c.e.o. baca and he says the airline industry will bounce back. that has been difficult but persevering we have our passengers that are all over the place where we have to take them safely back home we have received a lot of requests from embassies and governments around the world to help the citizens to be taken back to their homes and to their loved ones and cut that i was just serving the the world community if airports around the world start closing down and airspace are being blocked it is of course natural that cut that i was with is completely still flying but for the time being we have

a skeleton service that is flying around and this for the foreseeable future will continue airlines and the education industry plays such an important role in our lives these days that this industry will rebound like it did previously because this time it is very serious much more serious than 911 we haven't have faced such a situation in the last 100 years so now we have to wait and see but at the end it will be survival of the fittest and we want a terrorist to be one of those survival success stories well not to run when $123.00 people have died in the last 24 hours that brings its total to more than $2600.00 officials have committed one 5th of the national budget to fighting the virus there's been more than 35000 confirmed cases in iran which has one of the west mortality rates in

a while. now people with autism who depend on the support from carers are particularly vulnerable in this pandemic children and adults with learning behavioral and communication difficulties finding locked out and isolation with particular challenging as priyanka got reports. for bartik work here in poland it's not just about financial security but also his relationships with friends he has a sport a syndrome one of the conditions of what's known as the autism spectrum disorder the new crew now virus pandemic and government restrictions mean he's not stuck at home away from friends and people he depends on he's struggling to cope with the fundamental changes to his life and actually about losing his job i says it's a late night. currently and it affects my life in many places. most about my job.

but. which happened to me i know in the many questions which are not high everyone how we all doing a tap from the u.k. is autistic and 2 for 3 children are on the autism spectrum she's using video blogs and live streaming to help herself and other families cope with self isolation out there not my usual life has been changed and obviously as a parent autistic children i'm expected to be in a position where i'm staying and structure in their lives that but i'm still autistic so i have found that my anxiety levels been high and i think that the best ways to fight with that moment ought to try and find some kind of routine or schedule within the life that we're now living so that you know what to expect from you today. for those who depend on support from doctors therapists and specialist

teachers the closure of schools and lock downs of cities and towns is particularly destructive. panic buying supermarkets has also affected those with specific food needs a distress around can affect some of them deeply a lot of autistic people work on certain. interesting things i found is that there's a rumor that people can go to people. but we have quite a lot of traffic we thought it was old so a lot of panic in the community is caused by people around us panicking expert see while most of the world is hungry doe the key for families with the to stick children is to find ways to cope with c.n.n. and some families telling us that children's react responses have been quite emotional and old higher levels of sensory seeking behavior that they're seeing as well and all all response to that has been to try to create

a level of routine as governments around the world take unprecedented measures to protect people's health and safety many are concerned about how a longer lock down will affect the lives of some of the most vulnerable priyanka cooked 00. well let's now take a look at some other news from around the world there's been more fighting across libya between government and rebel forces dozens of fighters have been killed on both sides in skirmishes around southern tripoli there are 8 confirmed cases of private 1000 in libya and the un recognized government there has imposed a curfew to stop people from leaving their homes in the afternoon and overnight now gunmen in mali have abducted election observers and carried out attacks to stop a long delayed parliamentary election the vote has been marked by low turnout because of concerns about security and the coronavirus outbreak the election was postponed twice because of violence by armed groups opposition leaders to say with

a scuse me deaths i mean we're going to have millions of cases but i just don't think that we really need to make a projection when it's such a moving target well that news comes as the governor of new york announces another $7000.00 new coronavirus cases and one day that brings the state's total to more than $59000.00 and it's lee has reported another $756.00 deaths from coronavirus that's likely lower than the day before but it still has the highest death toll in the wild and 10779 more than 5000 new infections were also reported the government says it's likely a nationwide lockdown will be extended beyond april fad to try to stop the spread. the u.k. has reported another 209 deaths there bringing their death toll to more than 1200 a lockdown is in place across the country with the government ordering people to stay at home and spain's death toll from the pandemic has said once again with more

than 800 people in the past 24 hours more than 6500 have now died there the spanish prime minister is calling for a united response to the crisis which i think the difference but he says no this year for them it effects all countries and it does not obey borders because does not distinguish between past economic policies made by one country or another was the response count only be national it must be european response it has to be responsible role is one whether we are dutch spanish portuguese italian or german it has to be a european response and a woman in syria has died from carbon 19 in the capital damascus it's the 1st death in the country which has confirmed 5 other cases president bashar al assad's government has taken measures to prevent the spread well those are the headlines to join me for more news here on al-jazeera the inside story to stay with us.
