i think russia's foreign policy is too soft to keep russian goals could be achieved not peace in the whole russia on al-jazeera was. to be probably the toughest week between this week and next week and they'll be a lot of death unfortunately a grim warning from president trump as the united states confirms more than 300 thousands coronavirus cases. amount of i had seen and this is al jazeera live from london also coming up the u.k. sees its highest daily death toll yet in the corona virus outbreak another 708 people have died. iran considers easing some restrictions as its leaders weigh up the

risks to health with the health of the economy. remembering their dad's china pays tribute to its thousands of coronavirus victims . the number of corona of our confirms corona virus cases in the united states has now topped 300000 with more than 8100 deaths the grim news comes as president donald trump on reporters that the next 2 weeks would be the hardest but he told them he had contingency plans in place to handle the coming crisis we're going to be airing a tremendous amount of military. to help supplement the state's

thousands of soldiers sailors thousands of medical workers professionals nurses doctors and it'll be a large number it'll be will be telling them over the next very short period where they're going they're going into war they're going into a battle that. they've never really trained for nobody's trained for there's nobody saying this and the numbers coming out of new york state show no sign of improvements on saturday it recorded 630 deaths its biggest 24 hour increase since the a prank that began governor andrew cuomo also reported a significant jump in the number of infections i call it the battle of the mountain top because that's what it's going to be that's going to be the number one point of engagement of the enemy. by the numbers we're not yet at the apex we're getting closer depending on who's model you look at say 4567 days some

people go out 14 days but. our reading of the pretty projections is we're somewhere in the 7 day range while mike hanna joins us now live from washington d.c. to get the latest on events happening in the states mike the number of deaths is has gone up what's the message been from donald trump. well the message from the white house is that the number of deaths is going to continue to rise over the next week to 2 weeks a bleak message once again from the president at his daily news briefing on the particular virus the peak the apex of the virus is expected within the next 7 days to 2 weeks we heard from deborah burke's the white house medical adviser that a number of areas may well peak at the same time new york city detroit louisiana

all of the apex that is the type point at which the most a fatality could occur at the same time she says very difficult to predict but she is expecting it within the next 7 days and what must be understood as well is that the ratios that happen here that as the death rates continue so too could the infections begin to drop so it's a very difficult curve that we're seeing certainly all projections indicate that the next 7 days to 2 weeks are going to see an apex the most number of people dying from the infection in particular in new york state new york state does seem to be at the center of the crisis in the united states just how are they coping and are other states watching what's happening there with some degree of trepidation moment imagine. very much so i mean new york

contains roughly a 3rd of all infected people fatalities throughout the whole of the united states the death rate there continues to rise alarmingly and what's alarming too is that it's continuing to spread within new york itself and neighborhood like long island for example is showing a massive escalation in terms of recorded infections this just shows how quickly it can jump from barrow to bearer and then of course from state to state and this is what the governor andrew cuomo was talking about earlier on in the course of the day saying that new york it's the fire it's a blazing fire and that is the one that has got to be put out before it spreads to other states there's a great awareness from other states particularly neighboring ones of the degree of which could happen to them what is happening in new york state but one again must mention as well it's not just restricted to the eastern side of the united states showing a massive increase in infections as we heard from the white house physician there

an area like detroit also showing a massive increase of infections so although in various parts of the united states the infections rate remains low to moderate it can change at any time this is the warning that we're hearing from the government scientists from the physicians who are advising the president the only way in which the rates can go down they continue to stress time after time after time is to practice mitigating factors in other words to keep distance from individuals to stay home as much as possible to prevent this virus sweeping from person to person because that is the only way it's going to stop ok mike hanna there bring us all the very latest from washington d.c. thank you very much for that update. now the coronavirus pandemic is continuing to wreak havoc across the globe taking more lives and bringing many countries to a standstill in the u.k.
