means a lot to the country's fortunes we bring you the stories and developments that are rapidly changing the world we live in to get a break that was a slogan that one of the prime minister boris johnson counting the cost on al-jazeera. the united kingdom records its worst day of the creative arts outbreak more than $500.00 people have died in 24 hours. now and the clock of this is out there live from doha with the latest developments in the coronavirus crisis including allegations that doctors in spain are refusing intensive care to patients over the age of 80 as the number of infections exceeds 100000. sanitised. and we take

a look at how the pandemic is fueling anti asian racism in the united states. tear gas and bullets claims kenya's police are going too far as they enforce cope with 19 curfews. so the united kingdom is rapidly becoming one of the worst affected by corona virus in europe they have been more than $500.00 deaths in 24 hours for the 1st time including a 13 year old child the government is again being forced to defend its plan for testing saying it hopes to get hundreds of thousands of test frontline staff within weeks it's been under growing pressure to expand the program especially for vulnerable national health service workers nearly 30000 people are infected with the virus can i just make it absolutely and the prime minister has been very clear

about this is as well is that increasing testing capacity is absolutely the government's top priority we're now at $10000.00 tests a day we're rolling out additional networks of labs and testing sites and in terms of ph d. for the last 2 weeks. 390000000 products have been distributed and of course we will continue to do more and work to make sure that ph he's available as you know there is a hotline which is available 24 hour hotline for n.h.s. staff as well let's bring in the santa gave his life for us in london she joins us via skype and sagna the sharman that's the u.k.'s business secretary defending the government's record against corona virus just as we have the latest figures $500.00 deaths in 24 hours for the 1st time. it's the 1st and 2nd it's the 3rd consecutive day in a row where they've had to deal with stick with the current numbers if they talk about jesus well this is all against the backdrop of the questions i asked her why

the tests aren't getting through primarily to health service frontline because we do need to have those as quickly as possible because when you consider but around a quarter of the frontline doctors and nurses are having to stay at home either because they have symptoms of covert 19 whole they are in close contact with those who do have the symptoms themselves it is increasing the strength there is on the national health service at a time when it desperately needs to ramp up the starving for these field hospitals which they are putting into motion as well and also for the. hospitalizations which are taking place at an increased rate has well particularly in london which is saying hoff of the $1000.00 cases as well the government is promising and has been continually seeing continuously promising that it is getting those

tests as quickly as possible it is blaming aspects such as not having the chemicals all the swabs that are desperately needed for these tests and that it's a question of accessing them it's a global market and everyone seems to be going for them at the same time however if you compare it to germany for example which started preparing itself back in january the u.k. prepaid only prepared itself a month doctor that meanwhile germany is now conducting hundreds of thousands of tests a week and has the capacity to go further than that and the u.k. is lacking far behind there will be some very strong questions that will be os off to the pandemic is under control and not least why the u.k. was so ill prepared going into this pandemic right in the meantime of course the rising number of cases demonstrates only too well the need for the feather beds extra beds extra equipment which is coming to the fore slowly in the shape of makeshift hospitals. that's right and this week sees the opening all the

n.h.s. night. hospital in east london which is the 1st of such hospitals that are being open and are there say. in numerous critical unit senses zines to take in all as many of the patients who have been hospitalized with cope at 19 this particular one in london will have capacity for up to full 1000 patients when it is expected to be running when the peak takes place in 2 to 3 weeks time like right so you really would have a moment or something to give in london. while another u.k. casualty is one of the world's biggest sporting events that is the wimbledon tennis championships which have been cancelled entirely and that for the 1st time since world war 2 the grand slam tournament was set for june and july in 2 weeks in june

and july but like the olympics in the european football championships fans will have to wait until 2021 for any action. on tuesday spain where doctors 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 such a directive spain has announced its worst single day death toll so far with 864 fatalities in the past 24 hours and the number of infections has now gone past 100000 and it's enough for steven joseph who's a doctor who works in private practice in spain and he says the entire health industry is helping one another but medical workers are suffering increasing anxiety. the private sector has been concentrating on getting earthquake meant to the public health sector either

a big risk research and devices masks and last. i personally have a lot of acquaintance who having taken some measures early in the early part of this year. but it's i know colleagues who are currently suffering with coke run a virus and they are ill at home they're not so realised it was lies so i had no colleagues or medical colleagues or o.c.d. . and they're off work and there is a lot of pressure on the system in general i would say i think a big big problems of people often is probably the older people who are isolated and alone and these kind of in these times the situation isn't very difficult because they don't necessarily have so me that they can rely on to get or get there the basic the sector so yes even i would expect you to be anxious and depressed and at times even he would make eating more has it is there at home and there isolate

isn't that on a pattern of behavior can they can exert when a short time ago if they reported its lowest daily death toll from corona virus in almost a week 727 people died in the past 24 hours taking the total to more than 13000 but the number of new infections rose more sharply than the previous day to more than 110 files let's get more on what's happening in italy we can speak now to francesco jump attorney who is in milan and presidents go what do you make of these latest figures you're hearing. well of course it is why decrease in the number of new that so that's for sure good news. they were say in the low as they raise in more than almost one week so the now the total toll overcame $13000.00 still the highest in the world but at least it's less the daily breeze it's less than than the last days and the number of new cases rose more than yesterday

growing by almost. $4800.00 and the confirmed infections since the outbreak are now $110000.00 in so the curve of the contagion is still going dark but it's going up slowly only by 4 percent daily. the problem actually right now is that busy not more people are caring about these numbers anymore because we understood that they have a lack of. accurate they're not accurate they're accurate for concerns that the contagion they're not accurate for the deaths 'd today the italian statistics institute reports that in northern regions that not for the coronavirus overall that have more than doubled in march compared to the average of the same period of 2019 and embeddable one of the hardest hit cities the

deaths grew by 4 times compared to the same on the of the last year but not all these that are counted as coronavirus how of not even half because those people are not tested so we don't even know how to look at these numbers anymore. it's very difficult situation in iran who live there for the moment francesco thinks women should be for just like you. a quick bit of other news a lightning strike has killed 20 people in the republic of congo witnesses say it severed 2 high voltage power lines in the capital brazzaville and one cable fell on a house and electrocuted 3 people inside the others were killed when the 2nd power line hits a flooded courtyard next door. plenty more on the coronavirus still ahead here on al-jazeera and a u.s. navy captain says the virus is spreading uncontrollably on his ship and that his

calls for help they're going on and. millions of jobs under threat in bangladesh his clothes factories lose orders close their doors. it's raining again in turkey believe in cyprus too in lebanon northern syria northern iraq is just time after time is not the least attention is on high and now in the forecast you've got a little bit of time off the showers or the rain is in turkey but increasingly that will be the case in the old syrian lebanon size of alyssa's fairly caught the winds a lot and they were as attempts as a slowly rising dusty's it has been are as the place for right remains much the same iranian manson's shows both much of iran so it shows a scattering of showers and same is true in yemen

a few showers in the west in the high ground and certainly in the capital north africa reflects what you might expect is tommy the biggest showers places like nigeria is free to go and bennie and towards god but they're not there all the time it's just big batches and storms that build up later in the day and drift around north of the continent and you've got the showers still coming after the mediterranean sit still relatively cool in morocco algeria in tunisia but the cause the circulation look at tripoli not to certain degrees on thursday but it doesn't stay that way the opposite happens in on shore breeze not feed back to 21 on friday and that's like to make it pretty wet once again in tunisia. but. easily test. and trace frank assessments why is italy struggling to cope with the number coronavirus which failure to take really

aggressive action behind you per informed opinion it's going to be much more challenging in a place like haiti that is one dance away here very relieved to go in-depth analysis of the day's global headlines india doesn't up to the spread of the out of hours in the inside story on al-jazeera. but again you're watching our jazeera remind of our top stories this hour and more than 500 people in the u.k. have died from covered 900 in a single day for the 1st time close to 30000 people are infected but the government is under pressure to increase testing particularly for frontline health workers.

very much on the defensive about its coronavirus delta 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 maintain that they didn't have any solid evidence that these cases will 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 called corven 1000 from from asymptomatic carriers and now the government really has changed its tune from today on wednesday they've are going to start reporting daily new a cement asymptomatic cases so we've got $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 it's actually changed the methods a number of times over the past few months and people really are critical and skeptical about these government figures now. well the pandemic is threatening the jobs of more than a 1000000 for actually workers in bangladesh it is the world's 2nd largest garment and textile producer after china and the industry drives the country's economy companies around the globe have already canceled orders worth more than $2000000000.00 and workers naturally worried that the challenge as a story. in bangladesh more than 4100000 people are employed in making
