the questions and such. that is what the way sometimes but we will continue shooting. for. this is al-jazeera. this is a new life in doha coming up in the next 60 minutes the united kingdom records its worst day of the current virus outbreak more than 500 people have died in 24 hours . allegations adult is in spain are refusing intensive care to patients over the age of 80 as a number of infections exceeds 100000. a u.s. navy captain says the virus is spreading uncontrollably on his ship and that his

calls for help the getting on onset. the senate side of it and we take a look at how the pandemic is fueling and asian racism in the united states. and i'm here to stay with your sports european football governing body wafer has taken the decision to suspend all champions league and europa league matches until further notice. so then the u.k. is rapidly becoming one of the worst affected in europe by coronavirus there have been more than 500 deaths in 24 hours for the 1st time and this spike comes as a 4000 bed hospital is g 2 open in east london to treat cope with 1000 patients the temporary hospital was set up in 2 weeks the government is under growing pressure to increase testing especially for its national health service staff nearly 30000

people are infected with the virus let's go straight away to across one challenges life for us in london is outside the convention center that's being turned into a hospital right there rory 1st of all the numbers now reaching alarming proportions in the u.k. . yeah over the last couple of days there has been a very steep curve upwards in the daily deaths also. the latest figures from the n.h.s. are that 563 people died inside britain's hospitals and that's important because there will be a number of people who have died outside of britain's hospitals in care homes or or their own homes etc perhaps by 20 percent more those figures will creep in over the next week or so but going back to yesterday the figure was 381 the day before that was 180 you can see how fast the death toll is increasing in the u.k.

and the moments the the advice or the warnings that the government is giving out is that we're nowhere near the the peak of this yet so we've still got another couple of weeks if you look at the figures if you look at the stats that are being published the u.k. is plotting pretty much the same trajectory that italy. was doing about 2 weeks ago or so so the u.k. is seemingly on course for the same kind of effect. coronaviruses had on the country is italy and that's why this is needed because this facility here though with its 4000 beds eventually will be coping with the the onslaught the covert 19 is having on the established hospitals of the united kingdom so this one here in london is the 1st but there are going to be others there's one and being constructed in manchester another one in birmingham and perhaps more

elsewhere in the country too to try and mitigate the effects that the coronavirus is having on a very overstretched national health service right and as he is right rory and people will point no doubt at the w.h.o. advised to test as much as you can the u.k. seems to be well behind the curve on that. yet it has been for some time this is something that the government is playing catch up on it's not just testing it's also the availability of ventilators and personal protective gear for health workers on the front line all of these things are very hot issues at the moment but drilling down into the into the testing issue. yes the w.h.o. is saying test test test but when you look at the number of tests actually being conducted in the u.k. at the moment maybe 8000

a day compare that to germany which is conducting many times that number of tests so why is the u.k. lagging so far behind while the government says we have not had access and this is a global problem they say to the right chemicals for testing we haven't had access to the right amount of. capacity and we don't have the right testing kits that is an argument that carries some truth certainly but you've had chemical companies over the last day or so and academic institutions saying hold on a 2nd we've been offering you our help for some time now and we haven't had that offer taken up so it does seem like there is a problem here with the u.k. trying to do what it says it is doing and ramping up testing at the moment the testing is being done. in hospitals and now in mobile testing centers elsewhere in the country predominantly the testing has been done on

patients but what they're trying to do is give the frontline medical staff the testing that they have wrong we are asking for all right that's a picture in the u.k. where there have been more than 500 deaths in 24 hours for the 1st time rory thanks very much andy. well while the focus is on treating thousands of sick people millions more in the united kingdom are adapting to a different way of life my colleagues the whole raman spoke to a chest a couple steven and nicholas downey about how the pandemic is affecting their family. and. you know just. quickly washington hopefully. yeah it's tricky. stuff with the right things you know so obviously you've you've lost your job at the moment nicholas obviously as a schoolteacher the rules are different for you because you're a key worker work at primary school and i teach 3 yeah groups and i'm not where at

the moment and on friday we'll begin to another primary school to help out. in the matrix. i mean last 3 days yeah agree well florence. i'm trying to a parent. and an educator as well i'm sure it is difficult as you know parents say you are confident that you have you might say the protective equipment you need when you're going into schools what has been offered to you it continues changing and there's well things in place now and and just have in fact are closer once we finish. and then distance enough the children evidence labeled for individual children who are men of. the scale and i when i go in the 18 children in an expensive. i know

a large gathering of individuals. at the end of the day you both are professional lives stephen obviously your family's in chester as well i presume how difficult has it been keeping in touch with them when you actually can't see them physically yes it's tough i mean we're a quite close knit family so you know we see each of the daily so. it's quite so far no movement now are not leaving the house it's all so you know i get to see him through the window dropped in our shop and sort of nice it's just there. it's really hard aren't her grandparents. and now we see them at least twice. a week and it's hard for her to and. we're not going. to explain. on to spain now where doctors have been advised against admitting coronavirus patients aged over 80 into intensive care elite 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 such a directive spain has announced its worst single day death toll so far with 864 fatalities in the past when for us it is the 5th day in a row it's recorded more than 800 deaths and takes the total toll above 9000 let's join marta who joins me live now from madrid 1st of all marty before we get into the numbers this documents can catalonia prioritising younger patients what's been the reaction to. well who woke up this morning with these documents from cataloguing us health care system that was leaked to the media where the indicator the practical to follow in case that captured on health care system collapses the acts to limit the efforts in patients over 80 or the old to the ones that have the

worst possibilities to survive all of the ones that can benefit in terms of saviors that health care authorities have they're not any any any. legitimacy to these document and saying that they haven't given any any got lines in this in this line and motto that here in the newsroom we get all sorts of statistics coming in to us all the time is one that's really caught the eye it's one in 4 people in spain killed by code 19 lived in a nursing home a they're all elderly what about. yes well in spain one in 4 of course not i it was debt come from nursing homes from the elderly and these are percent at 26 percent of the death toll in spain madrid is their region with the biggest number is nearly 50 percent and they're saying that these speakers could even be in be higher because there have been very many many people would have been tested or are seen to might we not in terms of another virus it was last last we were talking about the

spanish army green lighted by the health ministry being deployed nature nationwide to 2 to take over tasks such as this in fact in care homes nursing homes and there were there were the ones that raised the voice of alarm when they were finally found in dead body in this care homes of all these elderly people dead in their beds and completely alone abandoned the staff the staff and the nurses there have run away so that this problem is every huge problem right now and they're asking why is this taking place or when the contagion themselves they're talking about the relatives visiting them this doesn't occur in concert nursing homes not being medicalized so passionately regional governments being being blamed because of the situation of these crops so there's a there's a long story behind right and as i said at the beginning it's a 5th in a row spain has recorded more than 800 deaths taking the total toll above 9000

what's the government saying about this now. well the government decided these high numbers sunday and all the passing the 100000 people infected and now 1000 deaths and the surprising 800 that in 5 days and being today the worst mark of the last 5 days there are little be a. hoax but they have a little bit of hope because so the number of infections has decreased and these days might be because of the effect of all these measures that the government imposed last week of tougher measures in this love down that we're we're happy we have hearing in spain about closing more of canceling the search nonessential works or economic it cannot make say. or that's the picture from spain or motto rather for time being thanks a lot the u.s. president is warning americans to prepare for what he's calling the hard days that

lie ahead more than 4000 people in the u.s. have died from coronavirus health experts say it could kill almost a quarter of a 1000000 people emergency supplies are being sent to new york states where more than 1700 people have died temporary hospital facilities have been set up to try and ease the burden on the local health care system on tuesday we saw the highest daily national death toll with 865 fatalities and at least 100 sailors on board a u.s. aircraft carrier have tested positive for coated 19 the captain of the theodore roosevelt told the pentagon the virus is spreading uncontrollably victoria can be has this report. 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 dr deporting 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 will failing to properly take care of our most trusted asset australia's the us navy says it's testing everybody on board and the situation is under control 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 nor are 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 and i'm pleased to report that none of them are seriously ill. the u.s.

navy says it will take sail is 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 be out there. well it's an hour from tons who's monitoring developments from washington d.c. and says efforts to move the crew are now making progress getting information. no matter who is saying now the intention is to remove as many of these scientists off that ship as quickly as possible in the next few days if they have not tested positive for current virus those affected. how it is so you housed the site of this in force. take quarantining invasion to tell rooms and who are going to recent history and travelers will curtail the lots of hotel rooms so they will be put in hotel rooms as many as to her room and only military act guards on each floor to make sure there is never social interaction. would be conformed to it but

apparently it has for many services possible in the next few days start moving into tell rooms on gold in the in the next few days according to to the governor and. meanwhile the u.s. stock markets continue to report losses as concerns grow over the economic impact of the pandemic it's big not to get this on the who's in new york with more gave the wall street has been bouncing around all over the place these days and right now it's down. it is down again there's virus fears are causing the market to again go up and down as you can imagine what they just finished the worst the dow finished the worst quarter drop in history and it's now down again on this wednesday maybe it's no surprise a lot of this comes after donald trump's press conference on tuesday where he gave

a very gloomy outlook saying as we've been reporting that the next 2 weeks are going to be very difficult meanwhile you essentially have the entire u.s. economy pretty much frozen at this point there's really 2 problems there's problems with big business in industries such as the airline industry which now wall street is starting to sense this is going to take at least a year for the airline industry to bounce back after all this is over and we don't even know when this all be over at this point because of people's fears of flying again see a big business big industries such as that that are going to take a long time by most wall street analysts predictions and then you have small business throughout the united states that's just been decimated so far by this the nearly 2 trillion dollars stimulus that was approved by washington last week certainly gave a boost to the markets but it's not lasting as we're seeing now and basically you

basically have the wall street wanting 3 things they're wanting to see if there's going to be an announcement of a vaccine no indication that's happening there wanting to see the numbers in the u.s. come down the numbers coronavirus patients come down it's the opposite it's going up with no end in sight of that and they're wanting to see some sort of opening up of the economy again no sign of that either all out throughout the united states as these stay at home orders are being extended mostly through april in many cities meanwhile here in new york city the stock exchange you see behind me still no traders on the floor because of coronavirus worries 1st time in over 200 years that they've closed. stock market trading floor trading continues to happen exclusively electronically although bottom line here the markets do not like uncertainty and what do we have we have uncertainty that's all we have no one including the markets know when this is going to end no end in sight absolutely the bumpy ride. gave

thanks will. in the united states are reporting a shopping increase in the number of racist incidents in hate crimes talk to people of asian descent some community leaders accuse president donald trump of fighting the flames of prejudice and let's head now for reynolds who reports from los angeles. racism in the time of pandemic a young woman wearing a mask is that attacked in the subway station senate side i mean an elderly woman is chased by a bully trying to squirt and sanitizer on her. harassment and assaults against asian americans are up sharply. so it's the outbreak of covert 90 we have seen an incredibly disturbing skyrocketing increase in the number of hate crimes racist attacks acts of discrimination against change americans can't just sense he was crossing a street in madison wisconsin when

a woman began screaming at her made it i can't hack it and she called us like dirty cheney. she said a bacteria asking time to me and her out of other people there who were watching the situation and nobody did anything professor russell june helped set up a database tracking hate incidents maybe 75 percent are name calling harassments where people are just yelled at her and saying you know get out of here you have the crime virus to 15 percent actual physical assault president trump as repeatedly identified coded 19 as chinese i would like to begin by announcing some important developments in a war against the chinese virus asian american community leaders say trump is whipping up hate and you can see it and are reporting senator biden he makes a statement about the chinese fire us i mean only after there's an uptick anger and

discrimination against americans. racist attacks and pestilence are linked in history when the black death ravaged europe in the 14th century mobs killed thousands of jews accused of spreading plague some of trump's fellow republicans like this texas senator blame the virus on chinese customs and china is to blame because of the culture of where people eat bats and snakes and dogs and things like that so many of these remarks are based in misunderstanding. the signs of east enders. and racism. and a lack of tolerance coronavirus is not the only contagion stalking us the virus of hate is running rampant to robert oulds al jazeera los angeles to russia vladimir putin is now working remotely after the doctor who showed him

around moscow's main coronavirus hospital tested positive for cave at 19 and then is separate sankoh host of the tour we could get credit and spokesman says putin has regularly been tested for the virus and that there is no reason to be concerned about his health russia confirm nearly 500 new cases of the virus on wednesday and that brings the total number of infections to nearly 3000 and let's take this on we can speak to maria lipman who's a senior associate to the institute for european russian and eurasian studies at george washington university and joins us live on skype from moscow maria welcome to the program and we just saw some pictures that president putin and the doctor in question not wearing protective gear as he was taken on a. receive much criticism. no i wouldn't say so of course the fact was reported that they had docked there with hospital that put in this it did now has the virus and the doctor himself wrote it his face book that he feels well but

he isolated himself in his office we have a form from which it's pressman that the president is fine in good health and i don't think people are focused on this piece of news people have so many things to worry about at this point not so much about the fear of getting infected but the economic consequence is. the economy being in trade for all right now in russia the price of oil having dropped to an all time low the ruble devalued against the dollar in euro people are worried about their immediate future their their jobs and their salaries not about the president's health i think they take the pressman's word for it that tim is fine yeah he's been taking his meetings virtually via video conference this look done was introduced in rush hour on monday so i guess it's too early to say what the reaction to the package of bills is be but it's certainly as you say is going to have an immediate impact on the economy. it is already having

an impact on the economy and of course elsewhere it has an effect on small businesses to begin with them of of course big business as well. people are only now getting used to or getting in an idea of what a long down is. right now there is a lot of talk in moscow about this surveillance system there is criticism on facebook in the intense exchange going on there that this is something of a digitalized concentration camp. a word that that emerged on facebook. right now i don't think people have felt deprivations too much it is indeed too early to say but the main concern as i see it is is about the economic consequences and what about the number of cases with as i said earlier we have 500 new cases of the virus nearly 500 on wednesday which brings the total

number of infections to nearly 3000 in those official numbers a smaller than those in european countries what do you make of these figures and whether or not the valid. well of course distrust is common in russia or people do not trust their fishel information however at this point in time there is no sense that the government is concealing the truth and the actual state of affairs is much worse people are using social networks that are extremely popular in rush or in people staying at home there have plenty of time to post whatever they want to post if there were indeed many more cases and especially many more deaths right now the number of deaths is on the 30 on shore the social networks will be filled with this information so i guess the number of days number is about 2800 the number of deaths as i see it is under 333 dozen

2526. with the situation will get much worse but of course at this point in time it is better than in. european countries especially the large european countries will see how the epidemic evolves here what can be see it is that the distribution or those infected is very uneven moscow has a bulk of it moscow has almost 200 out of those 20 almost 2000 i'm sorry out of those 2800 in the wrist some regions of russia or have it both just 235 on the 10 cases the. quality of health care is there and even 2 so while moscow is better equipped if the virus if the epidemic hits other regions provincial regions of me it made get much worse. thank you my pleasure. to iran which is reported another $138.00 coronavirus

deaths make it the 6th country to surpass $3000.00 deaths nationwide iran has banned all into city travel until at least april the 8 authorities closed parts on wednesday to prevent people from gathering to mark nature day the traditional festival in which families picnic tables well more cases of corona virus have emerged in india among people who have attended a muslim religious gathering around 3300 people from across india and other countries at the meeting in new delhi 134 of tested positive 7 of them have died or thirty's have sealed off centers belonging to the. missionary group and a tracking down those who attended india is under lockdown with people ordered to remain indoors for another 2 weeks elizabeth perna has been following developments in new delhi and says a nationwide search is underway to find everyone who was at the event. after 36 hours of evacuating people that was staying at the mosque in new delhi more than

2310 been taken out and more than 500 was shown symptoms have been put in hospital and more than 800 have been put either and quarantine or in self isolation and again so there were people taking part in this gathering from all over india and also overseas lots of different countries as far away as fiji and 6 indonesians who took part in them who then traveled to the southern state of telling down after the official meeting days were over that they have since passed away so she has a cleric and and indeed it is administered kashmir 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

who they have had contact with. or sort of come here on al-jazeera feeding the poor birds nobody's help and say they're struggling to satisfy demand. people asking for medication people asking for help for their children. i wish that we. were coming up to of course reaction to the wimbledon tennis championships being called off for the 1st time since world war 2. i was raining again in to believe in cyprus too in lebanon northern syria northern iraq is just time after time isn't the police the temperatures are higher now in the forecast you've got a little bit of time off the showers or the rain is in turkey but increasingly that

remain open and large gatherings were still allowed as recently as last week or riggs as this. 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. but i think there'd have to write positions like having your schools open and so on as long as you wash your hands and keep a distance it feels like if you're not in the risks on a new 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 19 testing of which has been minimal with measures to increase it only announced on choose day 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 law. 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 learn 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 to be where social and economic problems make people especially vulnerable to the virus and its knock on

excessive force in response to the outbreak as malcolm webb reports now from nairobi. yaseen moir was just 13 years old. his family say he was shot dead by police on monday evening. they were in forcing a curfew here in kenya's capital nairobi. the government and his uncle told us he was at home on his balcony with the children when a bullet hit him in the stomach the. people even he was abducted by that time to be what i did to my dignity the polls. you know even exactly you should double. the government's brought in restrictions to try and slow the spread of covert 19 the curfew killed yaseen before the virus yaseen has been laid to rest his family say they want justice and they're not the enemy ones

who aren't happy with kenya's curfew. in the port city of mombasa police used tear gas to break up crowds before the curfew began rights groups police are making things worse we believe that the curfew is necessary in order to flatten the code but we don't necessarily think that we do not believe that people at the same time actually helps fight against corbett 19 to be really frank we've seen more deaths at the moment from violent policing than we've seen. in the western city of kisumu police also fired tear gas to close the markets in forcing another one of the new restrictions the people depend on markets for income and food restrictions are making life harder and as the virus spreads people expecting a greater lockdown in the weeks ahead the president has made a rare apology for police brutality police say some of its officers are being held

to account and the police chief has ordered an investigation into yaseen his death his family say they will welcome justice but it won't bring him back malcolm webb al-jazeera nairobi kenya. to china and for the 1st time the countries added covert 1000 patients who show no symptoms to its daily count on 130 such cases have been recorded in the past 24 hours 1500 others have been put in quarantine world health organization guidelines say symptomatic patients should always be included in the daily tally as they are in many other countries katrina you is in beijing and she says this growing public concern over so-called silent carriers of the virus. beijing this week is very much on the defensive about its coronavirus datta because recently a local transmission seemed to have slowed to a trickle we were seeing 0 cases all single digit cases reported daily over the past week and the government all but declared victory but the public felt very

differently they have been concerned for some time about these asymptomatic cases that is people with covered 1000 who do not present symptoms now china has never added these to its official tally against world health organization guidelines saying well authorities maintained that they didn't have any solid evidence that these cases we're infectious in the community but over the weekend in a recent days in china there have been some very well publicized cases proving that people have caught korvin 1000 from from asymptomatic carriers and now the government really has changed its tune from today and wednesday they've are they're going to start reporting daily new a cement asymptomatic cases so we've put $130.00 bringing the total of these cases asymptomatic cases to $1367.00 now in china the government has said that even though or they haven't added these to the official tally previously they have been protecting the community saying that even that these cases have been quarantined

for the requisite 2 weeks when they have been discovered but people still are quite angry and also it's raised a lot of questions here because this isn't the 1st time china has changed the way that it's county coroner virus cases actually change the methods a number of times over the past few months and people really are critical and skeptical about these government figures 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 worst economic crisis in decades so no horror has more now 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 a nationwide stay at home order to contain the coronavirus is putting further hardship on an already struggling population we have so many calls would imagine people starving there were no we were starving only food people asking for medication people 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 $6000000.00 lebannon is bankrupt opponents of those in power blame them for decades of mismanagement from the us but the 1st really could be it was little bonsa the government of the politicians 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 sandeep 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 overwhelm the underfunded hospitals. so far coronavirus 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. that if we are opening our shops because we survive on the daily wages but people are only buying their basic needs we ask the rich to stand by the pool as the crisis continues needs are growing while more people sink into poverty. beirut where the pandemic is threatening the jobs of

more than a 1000000 factory workers in bangladesh it is the world's 2nd largest garment and tech stop juicer off to china and the industry drives the country's economy companies around the globe have already canceled orders worth more than $2000000000.00 and workers of course a worried time a child has a 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 divorcée with 2 family members who depends on her income and she is worried if they got a little bit 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 ok and to the government is that they should come out at some sort of solution for in such a situation. the finance minister say's bangladesh could lose 1 point one percent

of its g.d.p. during the outbreak and then just an area of dhaka you can sense. the streets are empty and many of the factors have closed their doors. a stewardess to come next industry later said the situation could worsen out of $4200.00 only $880.00 factories and so far in order to last as 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 ringback it. all so all our lives for are that riggin accessory everything's. so the immediate impact is basically the workers' lives the garment manufacturers an export has objects members to consider shutting their factories to limit the spread of the coronavirus but those who planned to make personal protective gear to fight the pandemic can remain open and showing workers

stay safe i'm not going to want to go to the kind of the total we feel that as long as they are in the factory say our factories i'm intending safety in all aspects before entry everyone has to go through all hygiene procedures that's it for. economic stunt. business experts say the government must allocate funds to help those who becomes jobless especially if they're on low incomes prime minister sheikh hasina as announced plans for a stimulus package of $589000000.00 for the industry to overcome the fallout but for those away from one paycheck to another that seems to offer little immediate relief denver chaudhry i'll just dhaka bangladesh. also ahead head on out there at the school the open water swimming champion you have to train an apostle paul.

travis bore no news of another major event that's gone peter yeah that's quite right nick inevitable really another day and another huge sporting event have been aided by coronavirus the some of the women tennis chairmanship that have been cancelled let's bring in our sports course but only weddings live on skype. forgive me i thought you were frequently there is no way around this radio is there. the only a lot of times carved on the wimbledon championships had really no room to maneuver this has been coming as you said there's an inevitability about the judges have to

be called dog this is a. tennis tournament there's a broken window. the window to play such a tool and it's not like the french or at least have the hope of english she joined the tender taking that's all there is hope there that i can play that song the same with the u.s. i saw wimbledon it's not just the tournament the entire gospel city has been cancelled there is a prospect of any tennis for some considerable time and there was an organizer set up and there's a likelihood from the u.k. government that this will continue for many months we must act responsibly now they only have got to generate shoojit profits from the borders so it was a needy organization that this is something that has a 100 cancellations lock aspirant since the 2nd world war the away from tennis there was also a big meeting at europe's football governing body you

a for today what was decided there. there's a lot of activity around the globe at the moment from well. who can see that there are burned turbulent times financially. missing coronavirus crisis and they're trying to get some kind of pretty and standing they can't change and fitch is what i'm trying to resist looking into the possibilities i don't know what actually i might into trying to put in place to give not certainty police a chance of them not understanding what might happen now you want all the below to do is actually clear that the gene changes there's no international matches that are going to be taken but this is a reality check today and i kept suggesting and what games even the chance that there might be only domestic league games played conceivably behind closed doors in jail doug is quite fanciful like big there will be a point and that comes where you a top actually have to make a decision on if they can resume as early as something like july or august or even

later would they still try to complete seasons as some religions integrations. their finances count as marketing sponsors they want to be as fair as possible but still implies the possibility that seasons can't be completed and they have to start again everything is that right or at least thank you very much we'll leave it there thank you as always for your time the former president a french football couple in big marcell died of the contracting corona virus in his native senegal pup to 468 she had moved to france as a teenager from senegal and became the 1st black president of the 1st tier european club and he took up a position that must say in 2005 club tweeted that he will remain in their hearts forever while the french league described him as a charismatic and passionate leader chief is the 1st person to die from corona virus in senegal our correspondent in the uk says death also highlights the state

of health care in the west african country. well shock sadness and grief shock because for many people here who thought that the virus doesn't concern them to see such a famous and legendary figure died from cove in 1000 well that really hit home especially here in francophone africa but not just here in frowns and also must say now he started off his career here in senegal as a sports journalist and went on to be the president of one of the most famous football clubs in europe are non-peak to must say and i grew up in moscow and i remember as a kid hearing the stadium the stud vividly chant his name and he wasn't even president there so just to give you a sense of how important he is for the footballing world and so he's going to be mourned by millions of people here in sub-saharan africa we've seen reactions from zena deans is done. and they all saying that they're in a state of grief in senegal the borders are shot the airports are not functioning

so he's not going to be able to be flown back to friends but he'll be rather be buried in the country of his parents here in senegal although the country wants to give him a funeral fit for 4 for the man that he is well because there is a ban on public gathering especially in funeral that's going to be a delicate situation but what's very interesting about the death of judy is that this really hit home among the elite the politically elite here in sub-saharan africa that that they will not be able to go back to france or switzerland or germany for treatment as they usually do and they will have to deal with their own health care system if they or 2 infected with the coronavirus. 2 of brazil's most famous football stadiums are being converted to the into medical sciences to combat coronavirus a 200 big field hospital has been constructed on the pitch itself polos can blue

there's a wave of sentiment around the world people actually want accountability from the people who are running their countries and i think often people's voices are not heard because they're just not part of the mainstream news narrative. obviously we cover big stories and we report on the big events that are going on but we also tell the stories of people who generally don't have a voice and then when i was a child my that's never be afraid to put your hand up not a question and i think that's what i observe really does the os the questions to people who should be accountable and also to get people to give their view of what's going on. u.n. fact finders accused the bernie military of genocide this is a political if you say. do you believe there are no modi is a fascist i just don't have all. the recognize the both sides have legitimate grievances against the other climate this is the foundation of climate back then and that is why my take. on
