a weak infrastructure in latin america could make it the next outbreak hotspot and the army of robots helping to relieve the pressure on health workers treating coronavirus victims. u.s. president donald trump says americans should prepare for the toughest week yet in the fight against coronavirus he says there will be deaths in the coming days as the number of infections exceeded 310000 as of saturday nearly 8 and a half 1000 people have died trump is deploying the military to new york where the outbreak is at its worst 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 will be a large number it will be will be telling them over the next version a period where they're going they're going into war they're going into a battle elsewhere the u.k. saw a record number of deaths with 708 people dying of the virus is warmest spring weather arrives the government is in people to remain indoors and for the 1st time in italy the number of patients in intensive care has fall and it's also reported its lowest daily rise in deaths in nearly 2 weeks. mike hanna is in washington d.c. fay says the peak of the virus in the u.s. is expected within 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 to 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 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 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 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 u.s. president donald trump is being criticized by politicians and commentators who say he's failing to grasp of the severity of the current virus pandemic has some of his remarks from around the month ago this is generated controversy. do you this is the same as the flu when somebody sneezes i mean i try and bail out as much as possible with this almost everybody that we see is getting better at it could be everybody 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 that needs a test that's important to. thomas for a a road the article coronavirus why you must act now he sounded the alarm on the potential spread of the virus in the u.s. he says managing the outbreak there is challenging. there's 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 alaska for example is an amazing state that really 2 strong measures early on but then you have other states like florida that to go

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 there 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 controlling it it's 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 is 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. look at the global picture according to john hopkins university more than

1200000 cases have been confirmed 246000 of those have recovered and there's been more than 64000 deaths 2 thirds of them in europe. the british queen is to make a rare address to the nation on sunday they asked her the u.k. reported its highest one day death toll and there's hope in some parts of europe the outbreak has peaked john hall as this report. in a madrid hospital a virtual reunion for a mother and daughter after both had recovered from coded 19 was there i don't cry she says you only cry for something that is lost. and in another corner of spain's exhausted health system a 1st meeting for mother and child. miro gave birth a week ago while infected cautious steps now towards family life spain has

record death toll with the peak and plateau expected to arrive in a week to 10 days what happens at that point in this lovely sunny weather depends very much on the extent to which people can maintain their discipline and stay indoors as much as possible a prominent scientist who advises the government explained earlier that the plateau when it arrives may either fairly quickly give way to reduced numbers or if the lockdown is rigidly observed now those consistently high numbers of infections and deaths could go on for weeks available evidence was promising with police and the government encouraging people to stay home you must stay at home to protect the n.h.s. and to save lives whatever the temptations this weekend please don't go outside to visit the lakes the beaches the countryside. instead of keeping your own families and communities safe in sorry over a city that hasn't seen curfew since war in the ninety's teams of volunteers are
