on al-jazeera. context the. storytelling around the biggest issues done but had to do you should do it again. if you want to finish this war we have to get back to work. and so the u.s. president brings in the military as many states struggle with a lack of medical equipment to combat the coronavirus pandemic. hello from doha everyone i'm come all santa maria with the world news from al-jazeera the u.k. is recorded its highest number of deaths in a day prompting an appeal to follow the social distancing measures. please don't go and song to visit the leaks the beach is the compass. and while the u.n.

warns widespread poverty could make latin america the next pandemic hot spot. as the global demand for personal protective equipment grows a new environmental problem is piling up to. tell everyone in the united states measures to combat the coronavirus pandemic being stepped up president donald trump says the military is being deployed as many states warn they are ill equipped to handle the outbreak right now we've got more than 300000 people known to be infected with the virus in the u.s. some over 8000 of them have died donald trump is also warning of a tough week ahead saying quote there will be a lot of death we're going to be adding a tremendous amount of military. to help supplement the state's

thousands of soldiers thousands of medical workers professionals nurses doctors and it will be a large number it will 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 looking elsewhere the u.k. where the number of people dying is increasing there was $700.00 deaths in the last 24 hours which is the highest figure so far one day and as the warm spring weather arrives the government is urging people who still have to stay indoors but in italy the outbreak appears to be slowing for the 1st time since it began the number of patients in the intensive care units is full and italy's also reported its lowest daily rise in deaths in nearly 2 weeks well let's start with mike hanna in washington d.c. he says the peak of the virus in the u.s. is expected that's coming in the next 2 weeks. 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 a 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 barra 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 an area like detroit also showing

a massive increase of infections so although in various parts of the united states the infection state 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 so it's my pointing out all the warnings there but us president don't trumpet still facing criticism for failing to grasp the severity of the coronavirus and have a listen now to some of the comments he's made in the last few weeks that it generated so much controversy. this is the same as the flu when somebody sneezes i mean i try and bail out as much as possible with this these almost everybody that we see is getting better at it could be everybody right now the democrats are politicizing the coronavirus you know the run of the last it's

all turning think of it think of it and this is the new hoax but anybody that needs a test can have a test that will say they have them out there in addition to that they're making millions and more as we speak but as of right now and yesterday anybody did need to test that's important. so that's the president's have a listen to this now thomas player who is the author of the article coronavirus why you must act now he sounded the alarm on the possible growth rights of the virus in the u.s. the usa management of the outbreak does have a specific set of challenges. there is not one country here this really 50 countries the way he's managed because of the federal level not all the management has has been centralized the way. the management has been centralized in nearly every other country here it's basically the states leading these and as a result it really depends on the states california washington states

a really good job really early on the car the cart the brakes and ask for example is an amazing state that really 2 strong measures early on but then you have other states like florida that took a long time before they think they did what they need to do and even now they don't have the measures they need to take and so you can see brewing in different states prices that are going to be worse than they did speak yeah i think here the precision is the enemy of insight there's plenty of models none of them are perfect but when you know ease if you have an outbreak and you're not on pointing it is going to explode and one of the things for example that is true in the u.s. is that we have very little testing if you don't have enough testing how do you know where the cases are if you don't know where the cases are how can you control them that's for the testing but the same thing for a contractor it's one of the things that east asian countries do really well is they test a lot they know where the cases are they know where the potential cases are because

they're tracking all the contacts that an infected person had we're not doing any of that in the u.s. we're letting the states handle this and many of them are not equipped to do it well. that's the story from the u.s. as look at the global picture now we'll start with the virus tracker from johns hopkins university the red number on the left is the 1200000 confirmed cases 246000 of which have recovered the great number on the right of course the white number 64000 deaths all up nearly 65 act. with europe accounting for 2 thirds of that figure alone there is hope though in some parts of the continent at least that the outbreak has passed its peak. in a madrid hospital a virtual reunion for a mother and daughter after both had recovered from coated 19. don't cry she says you only cry for something that is lost. and in another corner of spain's
