he is a fascist who are. both recognize that both sides have legitimate grievances against the other climate justice is the foundation of climate action and that is why because my take. on. 0. hello there i'm a star and this is the news hour live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes it's a matter of life and death president trump urges americans to follow the rules after a warning that hundreds of thousands could die. a u.s. navy captain says the virus is spreading uncontrollably on his ship but his calls for help are going on and said. more than 100000 now infected in spain where it's

been reported doctors have been told not to admit patients over the age of 80 to intensive care. and austria makes wearing masks compulsory in supermarkets following 3 other european countries where it's now mandatory outside the home. coronavirus takes another big name in the world of football former olympic more say presidents pop the juice dollars age 60 years also contracting the illness in his native synagogue we'll hear reaction to his death in the next hour. well more than a 4000 people in the united states have now died from corona virus the u.s. president is warning americans to prepare for the holidays that lie ahead white house health experts say the virus could kill almost a quarter of a 1000000 people their emergency supplies are being poured into new york state where more than 1700 people have already died makeshift hospitals are being set up

in parks and ships to try to handle the surge in cases on tuesday there were $865.00 deaths across the country in just 24 hours the single highest daily death toll well at least $100.00 sailors onboard a u.s. aircraft care. they have now tested positive for the corona virus the captain of the theodore roosevelt told the pentagon that the virus is spreading uncontrollably but defense secretary marcus 1st says it's not the right time to move people from the ship victoria gave the reports. the captain of the u.s.s. theodore roosevelt reported the 1st case of corona virus last week the nuclear powered aircraft carrier has since doctors reporting guam a u.s. territory in the western pacific the pentagon says most of the 5000 sailors must stay on the ship its captain says it does not have enough quarantine and isolation facilities in

a letter to navy commanders captain brett crazier wrote we are not at war sailors do not need to die if we do not act now we are failing to properly take care of our most trusted asset acela is the u.s. navy says it's testing everybody on board and the situation is under control the sailors who have been flown off the ship are currently doing fine and none of them have been required to be hospitalized because their symptoms are very mild than their x. and pains in those types of things sore throats but nothing that required hospitalization so they are in quarantine now on guam u.s. defense secretary mark s. best says now is not the time to evacuate the ship i don't think we're at that point we are moving a lot of supplies and assistance medical assistance out to the carrier in guam we're providing additional medical medical personnel as they need it pleased to report that none of them are seriously ill. the u.s. navy says it will take sailors off the aircraft carrier on a rotating basis it's a plan that seems to fall short of the decisive action called for by the ship's

captain victoria gates and. correspondent she habitat is a joins us now from washington d.c. she had let stop with this aircraft carrier i mean there are thousands of people on board all living in incredibly close quarters touching all of the same thing and the pentagon seems them seems to want them to stay there. the as is so often the case with the ministrations response to the creative arts we're going to makes messages so we have. to defend 2nd the seemingly quite muzhik about dismissing it allness and then we also have the navy secretary gave a series of interviews yesterday you are starting to say that there is a under way he said the key is to make sure that we can get a set of crew members that can matter who critical functions on the ship make sure they clean get them and get them back on but we clean the ship and get the other crew members also and so you know there is a methodical process that's underway to try and get these off the ship in fact some

of the files about i don't really been taken off without them the acting chief of the pacific fleet declined to actually confirm those numbers but how's that been taken off so the usual thing we have is a lot of confusion what is the message being sent up espers which is like we're not really that the navy secretary so no we have we have a plan along the way it is going to happen in fact a 1000 already come up is that true this is simply don't get another case where we're just not getting a straight answer given the solutions to all of what is planned and what is actually happening and well one thing that we've finally been getting a straight answer from the administration on is these figures of potential death now these this number is incredibly high nearly a quarter 1000000 and that's with people following restrictions so how does the lack of equipment that particular ventilators play into this. a series of projections were released by the white house on tuesday which even seem to have

sobered up the whole trouble who is no longer talking about who can help the country what use possible by easter or perhaps some even if it were a different overtop we saw on on tuesday or as you said yes but 10240000 people dead and although it's not clear what the timeframe was that was a question that was not a press briefing peter what sort of time frame are we talking about. that's going as you said with social just doing distance here a couple of 1000000 without social distancing a lot of it and one of the projections and as you said equipment is the other key issue for the day i think that we have this again this mixed message that we have a local officials state officials and governors and so on saying look we have to bid against each other to get like the equipment that we need to help our people it's you know i think that the new york governor you know compared to e-bay and yet the whole trump of the briefing on tuesday said well but that shouldn't be how to describe your price especially poor us if they have any problems but actually it's

actually us the federal government these governors are also big again so again the seriousness to what is happening is that some joined up thinking system mechanism to get at who on equipment that they need so that's that's the major issue i think that's coming up today other is whether the whether the c.d.c. and the fiscal guidance will be for everyone to mosques now in the past there was a greater number of options do that because there was a 50 people who misconstrued that and they would they were so we're going to be at the medical muster should be going to frontline weapons if i scan would be just make your own must have a skull or something like that so you would stop infecting a loopy. so there is it's true based whether this should. us whether it would just make people who are the oppression and start by. all leave it where people think well i'm starting or stop for more room i'm not sure you were right what's. ok

a lot more clarity still required she had to tansey there for us in washington d.c. thank you she had well doctors in spain have been advised against admitting coronavirus patients aged over 80 into intensive care a leaked document published by spanish media says health workers in catalonia have been told to prioritize younger patients however the regional government says it did not issue any such directive spain's also announced its west single day death toll so far with 864 fatalities in the past 24 hours that's now the 5th day in a row that it's recorded more than 800 deaths taking the total toll above 9000 well it's now speak to martha herrera who joins me live from madrid 5 days in a row with a health system that's already stretched well beyond its limit but what's the government saying now. well there's a press conference taking place there right now who will see their impressions or what they say watch us today spain has exceeded 100000 cases of coronavirus

infections and 1000 deaths surpassing the 800 fatalities as you said as the few 1000000000 in a row reduced to its worst mark since the outbreak of the argument in spain but the only good news are that the number of infection to the crease and they may be reflecting that doesn't measures taken by that by the spanish government with a lockdown by the government as of the lockdown that the word of truth until april 11 so let's see what they say about this regarding. document leak from the hope the care system in the. they were giving. indications of there were directions to the health care workers at the lumia to how what practical to use when they receive patients in case in case of the health system was collapsed how to act when one patients above are above 80 years old come to them and they were set telling them to. give the benefit people that were what we don't want to have sorry

in terms of safe years and so to to carry ties people that are in better conditions that all the people that or people that would have so much possibilities are surviving marrero there for us in the spanish capital thank you so much martha. now let's speak to dr steven cherry said he's a medical doctor in private practice and he joins us now on skype from barcelona dr joseph thank you so much for taking the time to join us i know that you're in private health care there in spain can you give us a sense of how different provision is for care between the private and public sectors that have both overstretched. well i did only speak for my personal situation but i'm you know i think all credit pros hope reticent use is often limited service is about an emergency services but a lot of a lot of. places are closed in the private hospitals and it's those. and dr

joseph i know there's also been a huge amount of controversy about the lack of protective equipment for health care workers like yourself something like 14 percent of those infected in the country have been health care workers what's been your experience of this so far ok so i mean of this there are the private sector has been contributing and giving to the public knows so a big risk resource it rises masks and blows i personally have a lot of good times having to. measure is only in the early part of this year. but it's i know colleagues who are currently suffering we've. grown a virus and they are ill at home they're not serialised is was or is so i had i don't colleagues medical exams or even of zeros you know. and they're off work and there is a lot of pressure on the system in general i would say well

a lot of pressure on the system but author a lot of pressure on you i mean there's been a lot of discussion about the mental health of people and a lockdown of the mental health of patients but not so much of the psychological toll for medical professionals how are you and your colleagues coping. i think a big promise of people often is of probably the older people 'd who are isolated and alone and these kind of in these times the situation is very difficult because they really have some you that they can rely on to get all. those basic. 6 or so years of being expected to have an anxious and depressed and. at times even huge maybe changing more perhaps it is their home and they're isolated and on a pattern of behavior can be commutes but i'm guessing you know that in couples with the pressures in terms of being married and children who want it done in

a same space just the basic needs of children to be able to get loans that makes things very difficult i was watching dr i know you have a family of your own a wife and children and you're having to i believe remain in isolation in order to try to keep them safe while you're looking after patients talk us through what an average day is like for you at the moment and and how that isolation from your family is playing out or. is difficult. i mean one has to be flexible and it looks the pros i'm very close to my wife it's work and my children are able to have a. place to go to in the country away from city units are of honor to be spending time away from city to general school and the universities are closed they are very fortunate to have a nice space where they can go to malls and in the countryside but it is hard that is i don't see them and you know. and i just deal with my ohss case which

is you know the things that have to be don't need and can't be left alone i don't need to give a day and mean that we have skype but it's not a pleasant situation across the board but i think everybody recognizes that we're all in this together and suddenly dr stephen joseph there a medical doctor speaking to us from barcelona we wish you and your family or the best thank you very much paul iran has reported another 138 coronavirus deaths making it now the 6th country to surpass 3000 deaths nationwide and iran has banned all into city travel until at least april 8th or 30 is a closed parks on wednesday to prevent people from gathering to mark nature day a traditional festival in which families picnic outdoors. well more cases of corona virus have now emerged in india among attendees of a muslim religious gathering in new delhi around 2300 people from across india and

a number of other countries were at that meeting $128.00 of them have tested positive 7 of them have died or 30 as of now sealed off centers belonging to the to be missionary group and are tracking down those who attended india is currently under lockdown with people ordered to remain indoors until april 15th well our correspondent elizabeth piron is live for us in new delhi liz i recall that malaysia's huge outbreak really got traced back to it to begin gathering just like this one and now the hunt continues and in india to try to track down those who gathered at this event in new delhi. the nationwide manhunt if you can call it that distance here as the number of confirmed cases of coronavirus of those who attended the meeting continues to rise at something like 134 now and after 36 hours of evacuating people that were staying at the mosque in new delhi more than 2310 being taken out

and more than 500 were showing symptoms have been put in hospital and more than 800 have been put either and quarantine or in self isolation and again as you mention so there were people taking part in this gathering from all of india and also overseas lots of different countries as far away as fiji and 6 indonesians who took part and then who then travel to the southern state of telangana after the official meeting days or that they have since passed away so who has a cleric and 3 nights in and do that in and administered push me there are confirmed cases of those 134 those cases are in 7 different regions an entire village in the southern state of tamil nadu has been cordoned off after 21 people in the village tested positive they all have links to the mosque gathering so this has really led to a huge contact tracing operation around the country with people trying to track down everyone who attended who could be victims for the virus and then everybody on

who they have had contact with huge numbers and there's a huge numbers turn of migrant workers who've been trapped across the country during this shutdown and there's been a lot of controversy about how they've been treated how are they coping. so the situation has changed for them some want to start see and this has been the really big tragedy of the world's biggest lockdown was for a whole week migrant workers there are 120000000 and india many of whom are daily wage earners they lost their jobs they could no longer afford to pay rent and after the government canceled all bus and train services well they were stranded and hundreds of thousands of them in fact the indian government told the supreme court that they estimate it was between 502600000 migrant workers walking hundreds of kilometers just to get back home to where they're from and rights groups actually say that those numbers are a lot lot higher so what happened after

a week of seeing these pictures of these people walking for such long distances something like at least 22 died of dehydration of starvation and of being hit by trucks while walking on highways some state government started transporting ringback them on buses that central government clamped down and said state borders are supposed to be closed so now they are being quarantined quarantine facilities are being set up wherever they are you know to put them in quarantine because they've been traveling in such large groups with no access to basic sanitation so their plight is not just a real concern for what they are going through because this lockdown has been a humanitarian catastrophe for india's poor for the migrant workers the daily wage earners but also the real chance that they're taking the virus from the city to india's rural areas which are much harder to monitor and also have even worse public health facilities than the city and as per annum there for us in new delhi

will continue following all of that very costly for thank you ness. for the 1st time china has added coded 1000 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 now the world health organization guidelines do say that asymptomatic patients should always be included in the daily tally as they are in many other countries. well south korea is tightening its travel restrictions asking all of those arriving to now south quarantine for 14 days the country appears to have its outbreak under control but is concerned about a resurgence and pride reports from seoul it so far managed to contain the numbers without drastic restrictions. along the banks of the 100 for many people are doing what they haven't done for weeks venturing outside enjoying the spring sunshine and the cherry blossom but with reminders everywhere to maintain social distancing of

at least 2 metres apart other signs warn that as crowds build the avenues of cherry trees will have to be closed. i guess it's ok for people to see the cherry blossom enjoy it before they close a road on the whole south korea has chosen not to enforce the kind of harsh measures adopted by neighboring china also now emerging from its own crisis just. as the international community should consider their own situations and review both the chinese and south korean approaches and apply the measures that would be best in their own countries south korea's guiding principle in fighting the disease has been to get the voluntary support of the public rather than imposing lockdowns or completely closing borders with the outbreak seemingly under control it's a strategy that appears to have worked the government's transparent handling of the outbreak has won the general trust of the people and although new cases continue to

be reported there's a feeling the worst is over. enjoy as you know i was at inchy airport i was being tested for the virus at the walk through testing station personally i don't think we are in a serious situation at the moment sort of hollow accordion were in their own very. looking at other parts of the. world which are now in the midst of crisis we're just starting to grapple with what south korea has already gone through is reason for many here to be thankful robert bride al jazeera so. well now u.s. health officials are contemplating whether to recommend wearing masks there in public austria is the latest country to make it compulsory for its citizens to wear surgical masks while shopping i think it's often seen that this is low that it's 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 as well ali i spoke to dr ira seen a mosque she is president of the hong kong public doctors association and she told me why she believes wearing a mosque is as crucial as often as possible. for all kind of corn there are is infection wearing masks as well as hand washing imported 1st of all is a droplet transmitted infection so wearing mask it helps you to stop getting someone effective drug list and also get your drugs to someone else although i know that some countries just airing roswell infected individuals but really most remember that a certain numbers of corner are us inside the nation is actually asymptomatic so they even don't know yet in fact it and actually use that to

a transmitter that the d.c. is even before you go well sometimes so i think universal masking is important in hong kong all of this couple months everyone of us. always searching for surgical masks are actually. stuck to have our own production lines or manufacturing are 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 epidemic of the ankle we infections so besides the economic impact of. buying mars for everyone very must also make certain distance between people you cannot look to face well cancer. expression well do at some distance between people. now testing is thought to be one of the main reasons why germany is fatality rep

rates remain so low now around one percent of confirmed cases in the country have resulted in death compare that to italy where the rate there is a little over 11 percent expense a german scientist out had to develop a test for the virus late last year as soon as it took hold in china and they attribute the country's success to fast and widespread testing as well as the amount of intensive care unit beds. well sweden's response to the virus has divided opinion with people in urban communities feeling they're all part of an experiment now some schools remain open and large gatherings will still allowed as recently as last week paul race reports just. weeks after the 1st coronavirus case was confirmed in sweden life appears very much as normal in the cities and towns. people are still allowed to gather in groups of up to 50 while isolation is a question of free will the so-called swedish model getting support at least on the streets and i think there'd have the right positions like having your schools open

and so on as long as you wash your hands and keep a distance it's feels like if you're not in a risk so then you should be out it's difficult to say so far so good primary schools remain open after the health agency said it doesn't believe children are strong transmitters of covert 19th testing of which has been minimal with measures to increase it only announced on tuesday beginning with hospital staff a letter criticizing the hands off approach was signed by 2000 people in sweden's medical community but plenty supported as well. in most countries politicians take the decisions and they want to enforce strict looked on and show strength in sweden the leading politicians including the prime minister told that we should trust the experts the opposite strategy to have a complete lockdown it's not sustainable and the worst thing is that the epidemic

might heat back again and the lesson learned from history is that we should do everything we can to avoid the 2nd and the 3rd way here in the ring could be area of stockholm many believe they are in the firing line of the 1st wave after a number of somali elders were among the 1st to die from coronavirus. swedish somali community leaders are worried about places like ring could be where social and economic problems make people especially vulnerable to the virus and its knock on effects the somali youth organization has been spreading awareness of the pandemic in older people's mother tongues but fear it may be far from enough that. people live very close together many have underlying health problems and that means many can die they don't have any way they can escape the virus spreads. for those with the means summer houses on stock homes archipelago providing extreme

isolation with some swedes deciding to stay for months while the crisis passes the world is fighting a virus that can infect anybody anywhere sweden is hoping its own strategy in this battle proves to be the right swap. al-jazeera stock i'm. well it's now time for the weather and it's still looking chilly in europe it's a bit of a shock after such a mild winter and. cold yes the morning temperatures now in much essential east europe are subzero by quite a few degrees which is say is a bit of a shocker maybe wouldn't be a surprise normally that this does happen often enough for farmers to key fruit farmers to protect their crops because when you go to a tree in but these are apricot trees you don't want them to freeze because you'll then lose the crop so this is done for great vines and other soft fruits. hasn't been needed until just now and the still plenty of cloud coming down from the north behind that there but the cold front that brought the coder's this thing here

currently over the black sea is where the cold comes in contact was warm that you get then quite a lot of rain in spain for example of those circulating still was given heavy rain and flooding in such in malaga the next day or so it'll move up to the north coast of costa blanc that there's always the mediterranean coast and then that rain move move back down i think the day after so all this eastern coast including malaga will see more rain rather miserable still temps in the teens and the next area probably to watch is around the continent to do the storm system again because cold as can be trust the roads or the wall water and we got a lot of rain to come through western turkey just over the bosphorus as well as it was we're talking rain not snow but it's too nice that's not very nice to talk. while still ahead on al-jazeera and millions of jobs under threat and bangladesh as close. as their doors. we look at how the global pandemic is forcing more and more

of the 11 on the population into poverty and a decision is expected to do with the rest of the champions league season and competition. i usually. treats. frank assessments wise it's always struggling to cope with a number of her own virus patients failure to really aggressive action we get them behind her informed opinions it's going to be much more challenging in a place like e.d.s. with there's one ventilator 3000000 people in depth analysis of the day's global headlines india dumb enough to miss the spread of the one of ours in the world inside story on al-jazeera. the soon as the sun goes down. russia is a very challenging place to work from as a journalist even though your cold here say you can't do it it's not allowed you

feel pushing you're always pushing. harder the central market always on the love god people are being taken for peacefully march here to the city center we are the ones travelling the extra mile where are the media go gold we go there and we give them a chance to tell their story. i don't and i'm just on. our mind about top stories this hour more than 4000 people in the u.s. have now died from coronavirus donald trump is warning americans to prepare for the hard days that lie ahead experts predict the virus could kill up to 2240000 people

that. document published by spanish media claims doctors and catalonia are being advised not to to admit patients over the age of 80 into intensive care spain's announced its west a single day death toll so far 864 fatalities in the past 24 hours. and more cases of corona virus have emerged in india among attendees of a muslim religious gathering in new delhi around 2300 people from across india and other countries were at that meeting 128 have now tested positive 7 of them have died. well let's take you to new york now where the stock market has just opened take a look at those numbers we're going to bring in our correspondent. who is watching those numbers for us in new york and gabe wall street clearly not happy with what they've been hearing from d.c. . yeah that's right and wall street's

a very moody place because if you would have asked just about a week ago or so or even less when the stimulus package of 2 trillion dollars passed wall street was very happy it had record gains however not very happy now after that press conference from president donald trump. yesterday when he basically gave a very gloomy outlook for the things that are becoming in the u.s. in the coming coming weeks saying as we said you know a very difficult difficult couple weeks ahead for the u.s. according to the president the number estimates on potential deaths in the u.s. in the hundreds of thousands and wall street listens to what the president is saying and listens to what white house officials are saying and they've been getting very mixed messages for several weeks if not months now but it's now come to the very clear conclusion here that this is going to go on for quite a while and that the u.s. economy is essentially going to be shut down for quite a while what wall street was looking for was some sort of vaccine there's no

indication that that's coming anytime soon they were looking for that stimulus package they got one but it's clearly not going to be enough for the long haul so they're now looking for potentially another one and then the final thing wall street is looking for is the same thing everyone else around the world is wanting wanting answers when will this be over particularly in the united states and by all indications it will not be over for several weeks if not months with new york and extending their work from home for another month talked by bill gates in the washington post. this day and a washing post editorial saying that he's calling for a shutdown of all the united states a uniform work from home policy so you basically have wall street looking at this and they're saying this is not looking good and that's why you're seeing these numbers the dow having its biggest 1st quarter loss in his. stree all 11

s. and p. sectors are down in 2020 the numbers are just really bad and it looks like the dow is opening as the market just open a few minutes ago is our opening with a sharp decline once again and deed and we'll continue watching all of those numbers very closely for you here on al-jazeera thank you for that in new york well portugal's biggest airline t.a.p.s. has temporarily laid off 90 percent of its staff due to the global pandemic from now until the beginning of may the carrier's feet will only be used to repatriate portuguese citizens and to transport medical supplies now 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 while the global crisis is hurting business but not all companies are losing money let's take a look at some corporate when is here now with more people working from home demand for technology that enables online group meetings has been growing rapidly now

shares in video conferencing companies zoom have risen by 50 percent since february similarly demand for t.v. shows and movies to watch at home has soared so much so streaming services netflix and you tube reducing the quality of the streaming in europe to ease pressure on the internet or supermarkets also say they're busier than ever now sales at british retailers sainsbury's are up by almost a quarter and millions are tending to online fitness classes and home workouts shares in u.s. home gym equipment supplier pellets and rose by 14 percent just last month so which other businesses are benefiting from the pandemic let's speak to craig he's a senior marketing analyst at trading platform and he joins us now live from london craig so among the dire economic forecasts we've been hearing there has been some good news for some sectors is this likely to last.

in some cases a think so in the pharmacy school site that you probably going to see someone is in some game is depending on who's 1st to market with with drugs to try and the deal with this dreadful situation but in all of these terrible situations there is opportunities and this is just about the example of the aughts you look at some of the trends which we're missing realizing prior to this which of really benefited from people saying oh so you look at the working from home trend as an example and you look at the video conferencing companies we look at even the sales of mana says of laptops all of these things move people creating infrastructure then this could really accelerate the trend of flexible working you look at online shopping and i had already taken off but it was still a smaller percentage of the market than physical shopping was so all of the sold in the companies like a colorado and all the domicile. is in the mountains and i don't think this is this

may taper off but i don't think this is something that's going to fully reverse oh man how can companies adapt to death mean especially given and this huge amount of it on saturday i have a test how long these up downs are going to last what sort of changes should companies be looking at prioritizing here. i think companies are already adopting to this some of them are just fortunate they're in the right place at the right time you take a complete like suv that many people maybe a month ago hadn't even heard of all of the children everyone knows of most people off the up on the phone at this point for video conferencing they were just in the right place at the right time they were following the correct trend but this is just giving them the normal you look at restaurants they can offer it up very quickly store retailers they're going to have to adopt very quickly to the changing trends the behavioral changes maybe for the next 12 months is probably going to wipe out a number of these as well says about home deliveries how can you get more into people's homes. things that you choose the fitness classes that you just alluded to

this plenty of ideas for opportunity have an old industries are going to have to adopt to a changing consume about if you will let me ask you about these opportunities then because not some investors have been watching the markets very very anxiously so is this then a good time to reconsider the types of investments rather than pulling out of the markets in it entirely. well i mean i think when you look at the market which is dies down as it is it's never is a case of just pulling everything out entirely of putting everything in entirely selling it that's all buying at the bottom that he's kind of old cliches where you go to look at as a market which is heavily discounted now which i do think there's going to continue to be ongoing volatility and so if you are looking to buy stocks now you've probably missed the 1st wave in some of these companies but i think this plenty more opportunities still you've got to accept the maybe downside before you maybe musi any return on that investment so maybe think longer because of the market volatility which we're going to continue to say but i think there's so many

opportunities that are still out there yes there are some stocks which are going to continue to struggle the allens of think it's going to be a difficult 6 months things can be extraordinarily difficult 3 or 4 years but they're all plenty of opportunities out there for companies the well positioned but also getting lucky and also get adopting the model very quickly from here when as amazed as craig and a man from that trading platform thanks for joining us on out of there across. now lebanon's cabinet has approved financial aid for low income families and those who've lost their jobs but the pandemic is deepening what was already the country's west economic crisis in decades senegal to has more from the capital. 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 a nationwide order to contain the coronavirus is putting further hardship on an already struggling population we have so many calls you would imagine people

starving there were no we were starving only food but people asking for medication people asking for milk for their children and diapers and i wish that we can get all that done for them but we 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 $6000000.00 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 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 santiago 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 economy 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 overwhelm underfunded hospitals. so for corona virus cases have not been increasing at an alarming rate but keeping people at home is not easy especially in poor 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 on shops because we survive on daily wages but people are only buying their basic needs we ask the rich to stand by the pool as the crisis continues leaves are growing while more people sink

into poverty so out of beirut a new 4000 bed hospital that's been built to treat 1000 patients in the u.k. is due to open this week in east london the temporary hospital was set up in just 2 weeks but the government is under pressure to increase testing especially for people working for its national health service the u.k. has reported nearly 30000 and factions and more than 2000 deaths well let's now go to worry chalons who's live in london for us he's outside that convention center that's being turned into a hospital rory we see the u.k. clearly trying to beef up its treatment capacity but it still lagging far behind europe on testing what's the big hold up here. yeah we've been told for some time now that the peak of the coronavirus epidemic in the u.k. is still some time off and that's why this is being constructed here in london as

you say a 4000 bed hospital a field hospital if you like d. to open perhaps on friday there are others being constructed around the u.k. and the numbers that are coming out on a daily basis for the death toll indicates that this is only moving at the moment in an op was trajectory the latest figures are that $563.00 people died in u.k. hospitals over the last 24 hours bringing the total to 2352 now go back to the day before 381 deaths the day before that 180 deaths you can see that this is roughly doubling almost doubling every day at the moment and yes testing we know that the w.h.o. is saying test test test the u.k. there's still not seem to be able to get a handle on this it's only doing shy of $10000.00 tests a day look at germany doing many many times that why is this the case in the u.k. well we don't really have

a clear answer the the government is saying that is ramping things up but that it doesn't have access to the right chemicals in the right capacity doesn't have access to the right equipment in the right capacity that's an argument that has some truth but it is undermines to a certain extent by chemical companies and academic institutions saying hold on we have been offering you chemicals or the production of chemicals we've been offering you access to water bara trees in our own are our equipment for some time now and you haven't taken us up on those offers yet so yes the the u.k. is trying to move in the right direction because it knows it has to but it's certainly not there yet. on the streets of london thank you very. well the pandemic is also threatening the jobs of more than a 1000000 factory workers and bangladesh it's the world's 2nd largest garment and textile produce off to china and the industry drives the country's economy companies around the globe have already cancelled orders wept more than $2000000000.00 and work as a worried tended choudhry has their story. in bangladesh more than

$4200.00 only $880.00 factories and so far in order to losses a $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 that they're going to be taking it. all so all our lives for our 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 the kind of the concept of can we feel that as long as they are in effect safe our factories and turning safety in or aspects before entry and that everyone has to go through all hygiene procedures etc. economic
