pandemic may be heading saying this could now be done because of a more detailed flow of information from across the country thank you very much the scientists say the virus could kill between 100240000 americans but without if it's like social distancing counter measures like shutdowns the toll could go far but modeled the worst case scenario of 1500000 to 2200000 deaths so what we're going to see and that's we've got to brace ourselves in the next several days to a week or so we're going to continue to see things go up we cannot be discovered by that because the mitigation is actually working and will work a somber president trump said the mitigation measures were a matter of life and death i want every american to be prepared for the hard days that lie ahead we're going to go through a very tough 2 weeks. and then hopefully as the experts are predicting as i think

a lot of us are predicting after having studied it so hard you can start seeing some real light at the end of the tunnel but this is going to be a very painful very very painful to excess in the city at the epicenter of the pandemic the rate of infection continues to rise the number of hospital admissions in new york city increased by 12 percent in the last 24 hour period and in central park a field hospital will be ready by late wednesday everyone everyone is subject to this virus it is the great equalizer i don't care how smart powerage how powerful you think you are. i don't care how young how will this virus is the great equalizer. nearly $190000.00 people have now tested positive for the virus in all 50 states plus washington d.c.

and as the models show this number is increasing by the hour mike hanna al jazeera washington at least 100 sailors on board a u.s. aircraft carrier have tested positive for covert 19 the captain of the theodore roosevelt told the pentagon the virus is spreading uncontrollably and calls for immediate help to quarantine the crew but defense secretary marcus for says it's not the right time to move the people on board well doctors in spain have been advised against admitting coronavirus patients aged over 18 to intensive care a leaked document published by spanish media says health workers in catalonia have been told to prioritize younger patients spain's just announced its worst single day death toll so far with 864 fatalities in the past 24 hours it's the 5th day in a row it's recorded more than $800.00 deaths taking the total toll to over $9000.00 martyr hero joins me now from madrid

a controversial document obviously is going to embarrass the government and officials and certainly anger the public across spain. sure yes and that long as you know is the 2nd region horse to buy on a virus in spain st after madrid that has become the epicenter of the epidemic and they have to reach a debt of one $1100.00 these figures keep increasing and today we will with this document being leaked to the spanish media where the catalonia health service has said that they indicate the product will to follow once the healthcare service is over well so the particle to follow is. says that they have to limit d.f. or team patients over 80 years old and people that have worse chances of surviving and over the ones that can benefit in terms of saved years so health out or it is

are really angry with this document be illegal and they completely deny. the use of this document in terms of the train of thought for these spanish health authorities there was a thought they might do what the french have done in terms of moving people out of the epi centers of the virus problem to other roads in spain where the medical facilities could take care of them what's the thoughts now on the move. well we saw how health ministry greenlighted that opportunity that that that. because we like to the possibility sorry of moving or transporting. patients from one region to the other especially from from a dream in which you know we've seen how these you use these i have been completely overwhelmed and they couldn't call us all they were built all these hospitals these field hospitals to cope with the situation and now they have greenlighted the possibility of transporting patients from one region to the other they don't know

that means that are going to medicalize trains like i did in france or they will the the army forces that were the ones taking them from one place to the other so we need to wait and see how things develop or what happens next you that you have to remember that today exceeded the 100000 cases of course of virus with an increase of 7719 of cases less than yesterday joe yesterday the percentage increase so still things are not very clear so we have to wait a little bit and if not a hurdle in madrid thanks very much. let's get more on what's happening in italy where more than 12000 people have died francesco again beth tony is live for us in milan and good to have you with us well obviously we can see what's going on in france and in spain in terms of the elderly and the issues that are being raised there how are those issues being noticed and discussed in italy by the government

or those people in charge that would look after care homes. well it's not easy to say how they're discussing we of course we're not seeing as citizens and journalists that something is not working because in a new krises is emerging in the last days in old people's homes mostly in lumber the here in the north where huge numbers of guests are dying without being tested for a current virus there are more cases in a retirement home in province of milan for example $62.00 out of 150 guests died from the beginning of march it's way more than usual we're only 2 or 3 people die in this place but it's impossible to know exactly if de died for a current virus or not because they were not tested most of them were not tested so families in the region are very worried and cannot see the

relatives that are isolated in structures with medical workers and managers of these kind of facilities recently sent a letter to the to the what were the region managers to ask for more help operators of people homes in your estimate 600 deaths in the last 20 days so the 10 percent of the total guests there has been no public response at the moment for this kind of crisis but of course in the next how hours in the next days the government has to say something about this to francesca if you like the rest of us are journalists observing what's happening unfolding in our respective countries in your opinion does the italian infrastructure have the capacity at this present moment in time so overstretched looking after the whole country to even check

people's homes and care facilities. i think at the moment. this is very difficult. building new hospitals every week. looking for new places for people that really need immediately care to survive like those in i.c.u. . it's hard to admit some people are. left behind a lot of people are dying at home without being tested in these facilities to it's never been explicitly said but i think i'm not the only one. here is happening the same thing that is happening in spain since a lot of time. if you are old very old and you don't have many chances to survive. in the 1st line to go to the hospital because there is someone

else that has more chances than you and probably you risk more you can die at home or in those those kind of of places like old people's home so it's very tough to see to admit probably the government will never say that this is really happening but actually we have all the elements to say. medical workers are already choosing who is the 1st to be saved and who is 2nd. only thanks for joining us. iran has reported another 138 coronavirus deaths making it the 6th country to surpass 3000 deaths nationwide iran has banned all intercity travel until at least aprilia its authority has closed parks on wednesday to prevent people from gathering to mark nature day a traditional festival in which families picnic outside. of the 1st time china has

added covert 900 patients who show no symptoms to its daily count 130 such cases have been recorded in the past 24 hours 1500 others have been put in quarantine the world health organization guidelines say asymptomatic patients should always be included in the daily tally as they are in many other countries more cases of covert 19 of emerged in india amongst attendees of a muslim religious gathering in the capital new delhi as many as 200000 people from across the country and other nations were at the meeting 128 have tested positive and 7 have died or 47 sealed off centers belonging to the public the mission we group and a tracking down those who attended india is currently under lockdown with people ordered to remain indoors until april 15th. u.s. health officials are contemplating whether to recommend wearing masks in public

austria is the latest country to make it compulsory for its citizens to wear surgical masks while shopping and it's often seen on this lead that unfortunately it's difficult at the moment to order masks and high quantities on the world market but presumably starting on wednesday the supermarket chains will begin to hand out a mass to every person who wants to go shopping as of the time when mosques are being handed out in front of supermarkets it is mandatory to wear them inside while shopping. people will also be made to wear masks in supermarkets or in public areas in the german city at the end of next week despite the health minister saying there's no need for it to be mandatory warning it could prove a false sense of security. since the start of the outbreak the world health organization has advised against people wearing masks unless they're infected or caring for people who are countries like the czech republic and slovakia who wear masks and are compulsory believe it has helped keep their numbers of cases down

doctor to see them are is president of the hong kong public doctors association she explains why she believes in wearing a mask is often as possible. for all kind of corner riders infection wearing masks as well as hand washing are important 1st of all is a droplet transmitted infection so wearing my ass can't help you to stop i did getting someone effective drug list and also a get your drug list to someone else out although i know that some countries just advocate wearing roswell infected individuals but remus remember that a certain numbers of. insect of patients actually asymptomatic so they even don't know get infected and actually use that to i transmit it to d.c. even before you develop sometimes so i think your leaders i'm asking is important in hong kong all of this couple of months every one of us. house a boy searching for surgical masks are actually call us that to have our own

production lines or manufacturing out all lost because it's very difficult for you to get mass from countries like me now and also use asia who have already also get their own and epidemic of the ankle we infections so besides the economic impact of a. mars for everyone very must also make certain distance between people you cannot look at things well you can not see the equation expression well 9 do as some distant. people well still ahead here on al-jazeera millions of jobs under threat in bangladesh as close factories lose orders and toes their doors. on the us office to lift sanctions on but as well and in exchange for a transitional government that would not include president because madeira bore his main rival.

hell i was ready to get in japan now the rain is on its way through the satellite picture gives an indication there's a cold front or winds up like this the whole thing's going out of the way but you can join up that tale of rain with the next one already forming in southern china so whilst it slowly dries on thursday and the breeze drops in the sun is out in tokyo at 19 degrees the rain is building again in the southwest of china and where it's dark blue is fairly heavy rain it will probably affect hong kong as well on shore breeze was just under still seem quite likely they are not much of middle and northern china is warm and sunny beijing is up to 20 times history rocketed since the more couple weeks ago to be honest similar story on friday with the rain running eastwards towards taiwan and one g but japan is perfectly dry has

a light breeze in the south and turkey is still at 20 degrees. now we might see some showers dust all over the place in india at this time of the year and the media future the wrong going to be that many even down the science the breezes stopped us for like it looks very dry the cloud does bill but you don't see many blue spots here they're all around the north for example north and the pole so watching the tensions rise haven't hit 40 on these budget cities were 38 still in that pool. from fossil fuels to modern day renewable as societies develop their energy demands increase requiring innovative solutions to meet such demands as a global power development of the investment company nebraska power is uniquely positioned to deliver against least amount we provide business growth promote social economic benefits and provide innovative safe and fire mentally sound energy

solutions for future generations the breastpin i am hearing future energy. all. of the back i want you all deserve means the whole romney reminder of our top stories more than 4000 people in the united states have died from the corona virus donald trump is warning americans to prepare for the part and days that lie ahead experts predict the virus could kill up 224-0000 people. a leaked document published by spanish media says doctors are being advised not to admit patients over the age of 18 to intensive care spain's announced its worst single day death toll so far with 864 fatalities in the past 24 hours in austria. it is the latest

country to face make face masks compulsory when visiting supermarkets to reduce the number of krona virus cases while in the u.s. health officials are considering whether to advise citizens to wear the. portugal's biggest airline tap purrs laid off 90 percent of its staff to to the global pandemic from now until the beginning of may the carriers fleet will only be used to repatriate portuguese citizens and to transport medical supplies portugal has reported more than 7400 cases and 160 deaths so far much lower than its neighbor spain and other hard hit southern european nations. well lebanon's cabinet has approved financial aid following 2 families of those who've lost their jobs but the pandemic is deepening what was already the country's worst economic crisis in decades as more from beirut. it's a desperate time for a growing number of lebanese those willing and able to help are stepping in by

providing food to the poor and nationwide stay at home order to contain the coronavirus is putting further hardship on an already struggling population we have so many calls we wouldn't imagine people starving there were no we were starving only food people are. asking for milk for their children. i wish that we. were are so limited with raising money is hard in a country where according to the world bank 45 percent of the population live below the poverty line the pandemic could not have come at a worse time for this nation of 6000000 lebannon is bankrupt opponents of those in power blame them for decades of mismanagement. but the 1st really could be it was little but i sponsor the government of the politicians are they ought to be able to help the poor but we feel we need to play a role even if the limited capabilities. the government is promising to do all it

can but prime minister has has acknowledged the state is struggling to deal with the fallout from the pandemic in the ministry we are hoping. about 15000 households giving them food vouchers but as you know we have huge challenges in lebanon we have many many economic problems financial problems many warn businesses may permanently close tens of thousands have already lost their jobs in recent months the government says it prioritized people's health over the economy when it ordered the lock down and wants to prevent another crisis officials are trying to slow down the infection rate so as not to over. underfunded hospitals . so far coronavirus cases have not been increasing at an alarming rate but keeping people at home is not easy especially in poorer regions like tripoli this is lebanon 2nd largest city but more than half of its nearly 800000 people have been

living in poverty for years. and if we are opening our shops because we survive on daily wages but people are only buying their basic needs we ask the rich to stand by the poor as the crisis continues needs are growing while more people sink into poverty so out of beirut the pandemic is threatening the jobs of more than a 1000000 factory workers in bangladesh it's the world's 2nd largest garment and textile producer after china and the industry drives the country's economy companies around the globe avoiding council gold is worth more than $2000000000.00 and workers are worried and the challenger has the story. in bangladesh more than 4100000 people are employed making clothes mostly woman but because of the coronavirus pandemic many now fear they could lose their jobs fatima cotton is a divorcee with 2 family members who depends on her income and she is worried.

if the factory closes would be very hard for me to manage things i take care of the rent my son's education and mother's treatment to the government is that they should come up at some sort of solution for us in such a situation. the finance minister says bangladesh could lose 1 point one percent of its g.d.p. during the outbreak and then. you can sense. the streets are empty and many of the factories up close their doors. next industry leaders say the situation could worsen. out of the $4200.00 only $880.00 factories have so far imported losses of $2940000000.00 so you can well imagine the impact will be stuck with the goods there will be no payment we have no certainty no what assurance from anybody or that they're going to be taking it. all so all our lives

for are that riggin accessory everything's. so the immediate impact is basically the workers' lives the garmin manufacturers an export has objects members to consider shutting their factories to limit the spread of the corona virus but those who planned to make personal protective gear to fight the pandemic can remain open and sharing workers stay safe i'm not going to want to go to a kind of the clinton protocol we feel that as long as they are in effect safe our factories i'm intending safety in or aspects before entry and that everyone has to go through all hygiene procedures and that's it for. economic storm business experts say if the government must allocate funds to help those who becomes jobless specially if they are on low incomes prime minister sheikh hasina has announced plans for a stimulus package of 589 $1000000.00 for the industry to overcome the fallout but for those who live from one paycheck to another that seems to offer little

immediate relief tenby chaudhry i'll just dhaka bangladesh. the white house is calling for a transitional government in venezuela for the 1st time has laid out a timetable for how u.s. sanctions could be lifted the initiative appears to be a softer version of president trump's previous strategies latin america editor lucien newman reports from santiago. as the trumpet ministration deals with the corona virus pandemic the white house is also stepping up its efforts to remove an israel as president. from office just days after the u.s. justice department indicted model for alleged narco terrorism secretary of state might put hill announced a plan for a transition government in venezuela broadly speaking it would. put the elected member of the national symbol assembly representing both sides would create a an acceptable council state to serve as the transitional government until presidential and national assembly elections could be held we hope within 6 to 12

months. in exchange the u.s. would lift harsh economic and diplomatic sanctions even on the sale of oil than israel is lifeline the plan calls for both mother and the opposition leader one waythe goal was recognized by washington as the legitimate president to step aside whitehall is already on board. with this today we have international support for a proposal that we made months ago for an orderly transition of power that gives guarantees and space to all those who stand by our constitution. wasted no time responding. in a communique the government says the quote neither extortion nor false accords will distract president model and the armed forces from their mission to protect the venezuelan people but washington is betting that the growing pandemic on top of plummeting oil prices and u.s. economic sanctions will make this offer more palatable for those who could force my

daughter's hand. indeed the initiative sounds remarkably familiar it's apparently the brainchild of undersecretary of state for western hemisphere a cafe or is michael's ak and special representative for venezuela elliott abrams the same 2 men who in 1809 presented a very similar exit strategy to former panamanian strongman general manuel until you know da guy. fused and 6 months later he was ousted by a us military invasion he's here in the early more if the imperialists and the colombian oligarchy dare to touch a hair on our heads prepare for the bolivarian fury the fury of a people who will lash out at all of you. us stay. department sources have been quoted as saying the u.s. military intervention is not in the cards but that is surgical strike could achieve the same goal all is now in mulder's court to see if you will call washington's

a lot of security and privacy experts such as arvin there and on from princeton university are actually calling malware and why is that because the way in which it gets installed on people's computers is very similar to the way in which malware software operates so a lot of security experts have been calling it out as a rather dubious in the way in which it practices these installation packages so one thing that we can say is that there is an authentication protocol zoom authentication told that can be interpreted as a little bit of a backdoor so that zune but also other actors such as militias actors can can really do some nasty things with their computers that have installed soon now with people confined to their homes a small town in wales is facing an outbreak of a different kind with a herd of goats taking over the deserted streets the goats which usually live
