to us from the spanish city of it where daraa where some of the most restrictive lot done measures have been imposed. we are a lockdown inside lockdown so the situation here is it's strange because we cannot get out from our city little city while other and it's not only that we cannot go to get out from our house but since before the lockdown that was passed all over spain. we were already locked down here in a while either but at the beginning we could go out for a for a walk keeping the source feel distant we could go for a walk in the countryside because this is more in those 2 years city so we could go go for walks but after the. spanish government passed the alarmist state we cannot get out from our home and then we cannot go out from our city from our area it's

really tough we are scared and i really rick would recommend people from all over the world to really keep the social distance because when there's a started people already knew what was happening in in italy but we couldn't believe it but we already had so much more cases here so i would tell everybody to keep the social distance because it's the only way because when they will be aware the situation would had had been exploited well in the u.s. more than 5000 people have died and the vice president mike pence has compared the situation to italy which has been overwhelmed by cases present all trump is considering a limiting domestic and rail travel between hot spots but he's resisting calls for a national shut down east as infections pass 200000 state governors are pleading for more quick been to tackle the outbreak but federal stocks are said to be. empty . trump ours once again test of the relationship with the chinese president xi

jinping doubling down on his accusation that beijing is under reporting cases their numbers seem to be a little bit on the late and i'm being nice when i say that relative to what we witnessed and what was reported but we discussed that with him not so much the numbers as what they did and how they're doing and were in constant communication or 1000 sailors from a u.s. warship in our quarantined as well ashore in guam days after a scathing letter from the captain around $100.00 sailors who were on board the theodore roosevelt tested positive for the virus as a tory in the reports. the u.s.s. theodore roosevelt docked in guam the us territory in the pacific ocean for days the captain of the aircraft carrier has pleaded with the pentagon to allow 4000 sailors off the vessel because the coronavirus has been spreading uncontrollably through the ship's cramped accommodation the pentagon is now planning to evacuate

the ship after initially saying the situation was under control there have been a 1000 sailors there that have been taken off the ship approx as a certain percentage of those are in isolation because they are asked to do more than displayed in forms of lights and downs and they are in the process of being ousted another percentage of that is 'd in quarantine locally i'm able basic want groups of sailors will fly in and out of the naval base on guam those who test negative will spend 14 days in quarantine in a hotel anyone testing positive will be placed in isolation are conditions was that they had to be in their rooms they cannot get out of their rooms they can go to their balcony but they cannot wander around the hotel premises 18 not go to the beaches it's closed all beaches. and they cannot go outside. a core

group of about a 1000 crew will stay on board to be replaced after 14 days by those who've already undergone quarantine they'll maintain the ship's weaponry and nuclear reactor some sailors onboard the roosevelt told the san francisco chronicle of their admiration for their captain for looking out for their interests rather than their mission i spent 24 years in the navy and i know how you command a carrier you're almost guaranteed. to make i go outside the chain of command letter. well there are the men and women who work for him ahead of his own career. navy commanders have refused to comment on whether the ship's captain will be punished for speaking out but among the sailors on board there's a sense of relief that the measures he was asking for are finally happening that tori gave him be al jazeera british prime minister boris johnson has vowed to massively increase testing after the u.k. reported a record jump in its daily coronavirus stats johnson has been in self isolation

since friday when he confirmed he has the virus his government is under increasing pressure to ramp up travel restrictions and provide widespread screening as the number of infections rises rapidly. we're also massively increasing testing and i want to say a special word about testing because it is so important and i as i've said for weeks and weeks this is the way through this is how we will unlock the coronavirus puzzle this is how we will defeat it in the end and our what we need to do is massively ramp up not just tests so that you can know whether you've had the disease in the past the so-called antibody test because that will enable you to go to work in the confidence that you can't be infected or infectious. let's cross over to jonah hill now joins me now from an n.h.s. testing center in london and joe know there's been a lot of controversy over sort of the lack of testing facilities for frontline

medical staff in the u.k. and the urgency with which they need to be processed sooner rather than later. well consider that the u.k. currently is to examine not 8 to 10000 tests a day germany by contrast is doing 70000 tests and for days now ministers have been us why britain is so far behind the curve and how and when it will catch up and they've simply not been able to give satisfactory answers which prompted the prime minister from isolation he announced that he tested positive but we could go with the virus to come up with that statement saying it will be massively increased and later on today the health secretary we expect to come up with a 5 point plan to explain exactly how much further they're going to be able to go but part of the effort is hero typically of course as we cross to use for there are no cars in evidence this is an ikea car park where a drive through testing facility has been set up specifically for frontline health

care stuff to come here at the invitation of the public health thing that they're going to show their imitation of the gates they're going to show their id through closed car windows and then they go in and are tested and this is one of 5 centers like it designed to provide rapid testing to frontline health workers who need it most frankly so that they can get out of isolation if they don't actually have the virus and get back to the front line where they are needed as the peak of this epidemic in britain arrives as i say they may be teething problems going on they should be many many more people here on a constant basis there have been waves of queues of cars but at the moment old but there's somebody coming out now initially the signs of how effective all of this is are not encouraging they've only managed to test 2000 people in the n.h.s. so far out of a possible half a 1000000 who will need it in time of the total population within the n.h.s. of $1200000.00 but the government cysts there on it they are doing what they can say intent to scale up from 10000 tests at the moment most of the people in

hospital to 25000 including n.h.s. workers by the end of the month and then hundreds of thousands within weeks. but frankly as a set the peak within a fortnight perhaps away now they're expecting deaths in this country to hit a 1000 possibly by this weekend it will continue to be many who fear that the coronavirus will overwhelm the u.k. well before the u.k. is able adequately to test for jennifer the update thanks very much in london iran has reported $124.00 more deaths taking the total number of fatalities to 3136 more than 50000 infections have been confirmed while all into city travel is banned for at least another week the government has so far avoided a full scale lockdown for israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is among politicians going into isolation to the health minister tested positive for covert 19 yeah let's men and his wife also confirmed to have the virus are in quarantine

from this storm system which is cold enough for snow but only a long way north of course i think even in her cairo you've got rain not snow here . in india very few showers around almost not worth the mention recent a couple of thunderstorms the wind isn't strong in any direction and what was in the pole thunder stuff has gone east was through britannia and that's reflected in the forecast the next few days we see slowly rising temperatures hovering on the 40 rock for the most part the breeze in the arabian peninsula not particularly strong the temperature slowly rising there is still rain in turkey lebanon and northern syria. from fossil fuels to modern day renewable as societies develop their energy demands increase requiring innovative solutions to meet such demands as a global power development of the investment company nebraska power is uniquely positioned to deliver against the stick around we provide business growth promote

since friday when he confirmed he had the virus. and china's had back at the u.s. president and his team. in calling them shameless for accusing beijing of covering up the number of cases the county near where the outbreak began has gone into lockdown after several new incidents were reported. in other news all prices have risen by around 10 percent after donald trump talked of hopes for an end to the price war between saudi arabia and russia the us president expects the major producers to reach a deal within a few days all prices have fallen to an 18 year low because of the dispute and a huge drop in demand as the virus has closed factories and grounded air travel worldwide now the u.s. military says it will begin reporting civilian deaths resulting from its missions in africa after amnesty international's report said that 2 civilians were killed in separate air strikes in somalia in february the u.s.

has been increasing air strikes against the somali armed group but critics say africa command has 0 accountability well for more on this let's speak to letitia bader a senior researcher at human rights watch africa division joins me now on skype from rome and good to have you with us on the program before we sort of get into the nitty gritty how do you actually collect your information and can make the assumptions that you are in your report. well so we have also conducted darr own career known really investigation into one of the strikes which amnesty international reported on yesterday and in many ways i think actually the february 2nd strike is does very little strategic of the problem that we are seeing at the moment in somalia so there has been an increase in. strikes by africa in somalia over the last few months and hand in hand in that with that has been an increase in allegations of civilian casualties now on february the 2nd in the tap

town of jeep which is the town which is controlled by the armed islamic group. that there was a strike which afrikan have acknowledged but they claim to have killed. a terrorist one terrorist now we have conducted preliminary investigations include that show that in fact the person who was killed was a young woman and in fact her younger sisters and her grandmother were also injured in that strike now this incident is also very revealing of the larger problem which is also that african hat not been reaching out to civilians have not been collecting information on allegations of civilian casualties from civilians and relatives of those who are suffering so in this particular case again a ferry incident may have in fact been relatives who have been speaking out it's obviously very risky to speak out in somalia people risk reprisals from actual bad reprisals from the somali governmental or others when reporting on security if you

can discourage just jump in there because of the version of events and who's being targeted is as wide as it can be or why does it seem that the u.s. is sort of getting it wrong and why have the somali government there not intervened to take of the accusations made by their very own people. and i mean this is this is a key point i mean 1st of all it is fundamentally africans responsibility to look into an investigator allegations against their own forces and operations but there is also a role for the somali government to make sure that channels are being established for individuals to be able to come forward now coming back to your initial questions there are ways to collate this information there are in this case again there are relatives of the victims who live living in mogadishu who have access to the somali government access to u.s. officials who could bring forward and give testimonies on their side of the story

that's not happening at present and it absolutely needs to happen so of course it is positive that africa has ever yesterday said that they are going to be more transparent about what they're doing about individual investigations but they now need to set up the channels so that civilians can come forward and tell their story in terms of the fact that the u.s. say that they're targeting al shabaab or islamist fighters anyone that gets their way is often described as collateral damage and you sort of just touched on the fact that civilians need to have some sort of recourse but in what we would perps think of as a war zone what sort of the news conciliar get when they're in the remotest of areas across somalia. well i mean in somalia there are very strong networks of family networks in many different parts of the country there are also representatives i mean some of the cases we've been looking into more recently there have actually been m.p.'s in mogadishu who have been raising concerns or

around allegations of civilian casualties so there are many ways for our record and the somali government to reach out to the communities who are affected even if they are in very remote areas organizations like ours and amnesty international and journalists are doing this it's absolutely time afrikaans and you do so as well that issue about a joining us from human rights watch in rome thank you very much thank you and buck is the the prime suspect germ for the kidnapping and murder of journalist daniel pearl is to be set free a court overturned the murder conviction of british born over the shaikh but maintained he to help with the kid but being 3 of the men have been acquitted all street journal reporter daniel pearl was killed in 2002 while investigating a pakistani rebel group. demands are going in brazil to impeach a president continuing to downplay the seriousness of the corona virus pandemic

brazil is reporting the highest number of deaths anywhere in south america also morris says keeping the economy running is more important than strict quarantine measures it's all latin america to see any human. on the streets of rio de janeiro it's less crowded than usual but not as empty as local officials would like after presidential aide balsa noddle again made an appeal to brazilians not to punish the economy by staying at home with. the cure cannot be worse than the disease. has covered 19 continues to spread brazilians are torn between listening to their president. or everyone else. defiant governors and mayors have restricted all non-essential activities including church services also now those battle against social isolation has isolated him politically as never before except among his hardcore supporters like street vendor and soon some by. thinking about how to

how i support the president we need to open up the streets again as fast as possible i would be able to last much longer. calls for the president's removal are escalating one of 7 petitions for his impeachment has just been presented to congress with more than a 1000000 signatures and a supreme court judge has asked the prosecutor general to investigate the president on charges of crimes against public health. also not a has been delaying the distribution of congress's emergency aid package for millions of poor self-employed brazilians hoping that will bring them back on to the streets nevertheless removing bull sinatra now is not lively popular because it could create greater instability says public policy expert bob lord in a sense there is a powerless. government where do. you head of the congress is approved court and the governors are handling the crimes think that perhaps americans survive this

crisis it depends what happens if if we have too many debts which will probably occur but we don't know what what what the rate them bills from out was probably. he's in big trouble because you lose most of the supporters or significant part of his supporters but if the governors manage to handle the crisis in the data when the gaps are not that high maybe you got away with it. it's a risky bet that the leader of latin america's largest economy is popularity suffers with every new burial cost by coronavirus you see in human al-jazeera. greece a sealed off a migrant camp now athens after 21 people tested positive for covert 19 they include a mother who had recently given birth in hospital she was traced back to roots so
