infection rate is also sawing the prime minister is asking poland to extend lockdown measures by 2 weeks iran will allow law. no risk economic activities to resume from saturday 2 thirds of government sector workers will head back to work despite warnings were possible 2nd wave of infections and the us president donald trump says americans should prepare for the toughest week yes he is deploying the military to new york the state that's been hit the hardest we're going to be adding a tremendous amount of military to help supplement the state's thousands of soldiers south 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 where they're going and they're going into war they're going into a battle. we are well across this developing story we have 5 correspondents joining

us this news all have a morgan will be live from khartoum to bring us more information on its 1st case of the virus that interest is standing by in a budget to wrap up locked on if it's the government is imposing their mike hanna is in washington d.c. with more on the fight against covert 19 in the u.s. jonah hall will be out nandan check of people are respecting social distancing measures but 1st we call it oh i'm madrid for the latest on the numbers in spain there she is so some promising signs coming out of these latest numbers that we're hearing. yes sure is spin figures reflect a slow down trend with a total of 130000 new infections from grown of errors and 6000 of new positives in the past 24 hours this indicates that the we are entering a phase of to start below sation and a strong minister but there are scientific while he was addressing the nation yesterday he said that the country is close to passing the because of infections the death toll of housing has increased up 212400 dead from foreign iris with 674

fatalities since yesterday being due is the lowest number in the past 10 days thank you for that update there that is martyr editor live for us out of madrid i believe we are now going live to donna hull who joins us live from london joining just tell us what the law latest numbers coming out of the u.k. and also whether there's any talk of increasing lockdown measures if people don't socially distance i can see you in a very busy looking park. well this weekend is being presented by the government as something of a of a sort of turning point or a pinch point if you like in this coronavirus epidemic here in the u.k. 2 weeks now into pretty restrictive lockdown measures most people are hearing quite closely to them you've only to look at the quiet streets of the u.k.'s towns and cities and here in london as well to know that but you know look up and what do you

see here blue skies and sunshine what have brits do under blue skies and in sunshine they had to parks they had to riverside's beaches other green spaces and so on to sunbathe and picnic particularly after 6 weeks of winter and that is the big worry that the government has as we hit here the final week to 10 days according to scientists towards the peak of this epidemic there are lots of reports of people crowding into parks doing inappropriate things which means sunbathing and picnicking rather than taking simple exercise i hasten to add this part is a pretty good example of the moment of how people should be behaving but one london park had to shut down on saturday after police said thousands turned up at a picnic and sunbathe while the health secretary matt hancock has said look if people want the lockdown to end in this crisis to end they've got to adhere to these measures and if they don't the government will consider banning all forms of outdoor exercise which will be intolerable to many people he says the government is following science the chief epidemiologist at imperial college is

a very influential advisor to the government neil ferguson has said that what happens when that peak arrives in around 10 days will largely be termed determined by what people are doing now at hearing or not to the lockdown measures either that peak will give or give way quite quickly to reduce numbers or if people flout the lock down well that peak will give way to a plateau of consistently high numbers and we've seen record numbers every day now possibly for weeks crippling the health care system lengthening of course the lockdown and leading to much higher numbers of fatalities in this country don't talk to us if you can about their parent control the sea surrounding. a new temporary hospital that was set up in london specifically around the rents it was paying is paying i'm not sure for that for that premises what can you tell us about that and. what are you talking about the xcel center in london's docklands it opened this week it's an enormous conference center that's been turned in just 9 days with the help of army engineers into an n.h.s.

a national health service covered 19 hospital with a maximum capacity of 4000 beds it's effectively the biggest hospital in this country one of the biggest in the world well it's emerged in media reports on sunday that that xcel center is owned by the government of the united arab emirates and had been due to charge the national health service an enormous amount of rent up to $4000000.00 was the figure quoted every month for the duration of this crisis weigh that against another similar site in birmingham which is owned by a us private equity firm that had given it to the n.h.s. for free and the politicians and the labor health secretary the shadow health secretary john as an athlete ashworth said this was actually outrageous that billionaires should be charging this kind of money well it transpires in the last few minutes that perhaps as a result of this media controversy the government of the u.a.e. has announced that they are in fact not going to be charging rent at all they will be absorbing those costs themselves that is a large savings like that john hall there across developments in the u.k.

from london. well we now have mike hanna who's joining us live from washington d.c. mike so president donald trump has been warning of a very tough week ahead. indeed yes and the medical experts thinking that the apex of this virus could be hitting within the next 7 days in a number of separate locations which of course compounds the problem of dealing with the crisis new york state still the hardest hit but new jersey alongside new york state showing a massive increase and then louisiana showing a huge increase 20 percent increase in infections in one day so certainly that's on the rise in that particular area also of great concern the testing many governors still saying that there are not enough testing kits not enough testing is being done to provide a very valid set of data the governor of illinois in particular absolutely furious

basically saying it's like the wild west out there every governor in every state is fighting for equipment is fighting for testing kits is fighting for masks is fighting for ventilators him say that the federal government is simply not doing enough it's leaving it to the states to try and deal with this crisis on their own thank you for that update there mike hanna live from washington d.c. . well iran is reporting another 151 deaths but also a decrease in new infections for the 5th consecutive day in a nother positive development some iranians are being allowed to go back to work next week send a strong he has more from tehran. we've heard from health officials over the last few days and weeks that things can go back to normal too soon but the president when he made this announcement president rouhani began by saying that all branches of government are onboard with the plan that they have moving forward so making it

clear that the government is according to him speaking in one voice despite the warnings of normalizing too quickly from health experts saying that that could bring on a 2nd wave here president hassan rouhani did say that in terms of the details of what is considered low risk and high risk those announcements will be made over state t.v. in the coming hours but we can surmise that what they consider low risk is anything that doesn't compel too large of a crowd to form people can work from home they can open small businesses remember this country is a place where the majority of businesses are small to medium so really those environments will begin to see life coming back to life returning to some kind of normal he said that even though those shops and other organizations may begin to start their engines again they have to observe health protocols social distancing that still has to be the key element of how to go about doing this is always going to balance between fighting a public health crisis and making sure the country's economy does not go but he

also acknowledged that iran and iranian people are still operating in unknown territory they don't know whether or not this will continue for a long period of time whether the country will become a kind of reservoir for the virus so he said things will be taken one step at a time but we have to remember that the country's main concern all along has been that the virus might do what sanctions could not which is bring the country's economy to a standstill and that's really what they're trying to fight against at this time so it is obvious professor of wealth studies at the university of tehran he says the government is trying to strike a balance between health meshes scent of waiting economic growth. the legal sanctions that iran is facing from the united states is hurting iran's economy and one thing the government wants to make sure is you don't want people hurting economically so much that they are not going to be able to recover from it so the

basic idea is to find that balance of making sure the economy functions at limited level and at the same time you're not in danger in people's lives finding that balance and answering that question is meant to be disagreement on these issues in all countries in. the united states and europe there are experts who disagree with each other and they have the same thing you don't have disagreements it is not a king them people disagree they object you never know tomorrow all day after tomorrow the president could come and say that extend the current situation for one week this is this has happened before he has done this before said he's going to ease restrictions then he didn't do it so i think you have to wait and see. iraq is extending its nationwide kathie's to 2 weeks the streets of baghdad remain hung usually class last public places

a closed in soldiers have been deployed to enforce the lockdown but it's have a rest of hundreds of violating the destruction and existing deaths of the reporters more than 800 seconds. for many countries going back to work and getting the economy moving again may seem like a far off reality but there's one idea out there that's already being worked on that may ease the economic pressure of being on lockdown that's called an immunity passport certificate declaring that a person is no longer at risk of getting coronavirus because they have recovered from this it would involve testing someone's antibodies to ensure their immunity it's already been suggested in italy where some regional leaders have proposed a special license for italians whose blood shows that they've beaten the virus the united kingdom has also considering a similar passport which could prioritize key workers like doctors and teachers getting them back to work cricket it's something german research is already looking into the road culture institute is organizing

a mass study into how many people are immune dr julian savulescu is a medical doctor and professor of practical ethics at the university of oxford he joins us now via skype thank you so much for your time 1st off i guess we should point out that the science isn't quite there yet is it in terms of figuring out whether you can get immunity from corona virus how long that immunity might last there's still a lot we don't know. that's correct and there's several strains and it's not clear how good your protection these if you have mounted an antibody response and how long that will last so that's going to take some time to unravel as well as rolling out tasting at a large scale what ethical questions you are a professor of practical ethics what ethical questions does this proposal having immunity possibles for those who've had the virus and assuming they are immune what kind of ethical questions does that raise. well by sickly there is going to be

pressure to roll this out quickly because of the huge economic and human consequences so there's going to be risks associated with moving ahead with the proposal quickly so we won't know if for example how much immunity precisely an antibody response give somebody how long it will last and so they'll be risks and the question is who should type those risks or who should be allowed to type those risks so you might have a policy that only for example health care workers can be tested or essential services workers or workers more generally in my view given that young people likely to be most resistant to the virus i think we should start in a stage why by allowing younger people who have got an antibody response to be the 1st people to to try out essentially this policy and then move to all all the people that people some people will cite it's discrimination that we should be

allowing everyone with an antibody response and all the people might have some people can work why shouldn't die if they're prepared to take the risks i guess that is why chris i mean there in your opinion around segregating people segregating the population based on a hill of genetics on blood tests. absolutely so there is this whole debate in all of these areas is about trying health or well being against freedom and rights so i discriminate so you know you can ensure that people face lower risks and we reduce the death toll from this but you have to might more decisions about you know who will be allowed to work and who won't be who will be allowed to travel who won't be. where that we invite people's privacy and track them whether we enforce isolation so unfortunately there's no

sort of happy ending where we can have our cake and eat it too it's going to be out we're going to maximally protect people's health or are we going to provide the economy or are we going to provide people's rights could they also be a scenario in which people want to get the virus because they want to become immune because they have to return to work absolutely that can be these unintended consequences. of any policy and that's why i think you know you need to do quick research trials to see what actually happens once you do it that's why i'm suggesting that initially. testing young people younger people who have low risk and seeing you know how people respond how that the hype and indeed whether the antibody response is sufficient. really good to get your take thanks that dr julian savulescu a medical delta and a professor of practical ethics at the university of oxford again thank you.

techies death toll has now topped 524000 and texans reported nationwide emergency measures aimed at containing the outbreak have been stepped up including the mandatory wearing of mosques and shops all markets. let's go to greece now where authors have quarantined a 2nd refugee camp in athens after 33 year old men tested positive for the coronavirus about 1800 people living in the camp being screened dancer uplifts has the latest from athens and greece this is the 2nd camp that's been placed in lockdown in a space of just 3 or 4 days as a result of a positive test the great concern here is for the greek government is to move with speed because this camp holds about 1800 people the entire that's more than the entire infected population in greece right now which stands at 1673

so you do you can see how that such a camp with people living in close quarters might very quickly overwhelm medical authorities by doubling the number of infections and the fact that this is the 2nd camp is also of concern the 1st one proved to produce about 24 cases 24 infections partly because all sources were lucky the 1st case was a pregnant lady who gave birth in athens hospital and was diagnosed by a stroke of luck while she was giving birth speed therefore with the camps is key so that you can quickly isolate families that are affected and prevent it from spreading to the entire camp by jerry has confirmed 4 deaths and more than 200 cases of the coronavirus displaced people living in camps across the northeastern region of particularly vulnerable as the break spreads the u.n.

says it's working with nigerian officials to develop emergency response plans for vulnerable groups. amid interests joins us now live from abood on it how prepared is nigeria for the potential spread of the virus. well basically the health infrastructure has weak like the rest of africa and it's been a difficult sort of one month for the nigerian government to try to deal with these . the outbreaks it's seen so far this morning the government is saying that 224 people have been infected 5 have died and. 25 or 24 hot been discharged from hospital so far but the big major problem is the absence of enough testing kits only a few with 1000 people have been tested so far and the government as we speak now is chasing after thousands of people came in contact with people who have been instructed with the corona virus in nigeria some of the government may have

defeated it some years back when there was an outbreak in west africa some of the structures are still in place but a major outbreak not because of virus in nigeria that was still doom unless the government has some assistance outside the country the government told us just yesterday that they expected some chinese medical experts to come in to help with the where they where the where the where the control of the of of the current of the outbreak in nigeria and there's been some fumigation efforts going on in major cities in nigeria some states have locked down the states from travel from people coming in either by road by at will by sea but the federal government imposed a lot on 3 major states the federal capital which is subject to late may ghost which is the commercial capital of nigeria and a neighboring state in the southwest of the country where we're seeing insole so

some interaction is rising so so far the you know going to governments that it's doing all it can to control the spread of this fattest but it will definitely need some assistance outside thanks for that update that i meant it to us live for us from the death. the 2 week nationwide lockdown in uganda means millions can't go to work and many a struggling to put food on the table aid is being distributed by the government around one and a half 1000000 ugandans designated as most vulnerable public transport is at a standstill orders are closed and everyone is being stay home to contain the spread. south sudan has confirmed its 1st case of corona virus vice president said a 29 year old woman infected with the virus arrived from ethiopia and said 3 she's now being treated in isolation is the latest african nation to report a case during the outbreak the public health laboratory tested and. it is of 19 in an individual the suspect presented to

the u.n. clinic on the 2nd real 220 with fear. and shortness of breath. the government. members of the public who strictly observed the rules of social distancing. have a morgan is live for us now in her tune and neighboring sudan if the numbers are accurate out of south sudan and it is still early days in terms of the outbreak how prepared is the country to deal with the virus should the number of cases rise. well 1st of all let's remember that south sudan is coming out of a 5 year conflict in which most of its health infrastructures have been damaged and even prior to the conflict there were not much infrastructure to begin with coming to the case that has been confirmed and the key word here is confirmed the patient

came to south sudan on the 28th of february according to the government statement but did not present with symptoms of the disease up until just a couple of weeks back so actually up until a couple of days back so there are questions about whether she is indeed the 1st patient or whether there are other cases that have not been recorded prior to the case that was announced by the government today there have been 18 people who were tested there were people who were kept in isolation but who escaped according to the government and who refused to be in coron teen while they were coming from the u.a.e. and from neighboring uganda and if you feel so lots of questions about how many people are actually infected and when it comes to the economy of handling the disease south sudan has announced some measures they've announced a curfew they've announced the lockdown or shutdown of restaurants from 6 pm and that restaurants should not allow people to set only to take their food based on orders but then the question is is south sudan ready for

a total lockdown and the answer to that kim is that many people in south sudan rely on a day to day labor to be able to provide for their families so lots of challenges will be presented to south sudan should the number of cases rise in the country thank you for that that's him orgon. well time now for the weather here is evident 5 very much kim miss warm up nicely across a good pass of north america at the moment but if you go to stay indoors but i want to be on the west coast states this is where we've got a fair bit of cloud and some rain coming at the moment you can see largely clear skies across a good part of the u.s. set down towards the south this area cloud that's moving out of the way bright skies coming in behind air of high pressure just around the lakes in the winds around the high they move in a clockwise direction so all the cool side to the east of the high a southerly winds warming up there over towards much of the midwest so even though we've only got 3 celsius in chicago take

a look at minneapolis one degree celsius it will not last as we go on through the next couple of days that rain that i speak of around the west coast well here it comes this knocking on the door over the san francisco struggling to get to around 12 degrees celsius this move on a day or so though through the remainder of today we will see what rain we do have it was a basis out of the country just pushing a little further east was temperatures in chicago 7 celsius 14 celsius there for minneapolis and here comes that rise in temperatures 13 in chicago getting up to around 17 that for minneapolis of this station it's warmer still as we go on into shoes day that wet weather that's going to continue coming down across the western side of the u.s. with significant snowfall also making its way through some parts could see 50 centimeters. very good thank you that evidence. still come here on al-jazeera viruses basic growth look today under a microscope it looks like a ball with a dangling. explaining chronic virus to children and daunting task for families

turn was a bank at least conscience or something else well it's impossible to know i think. whatever they did they ended up making the right choice it seems like the. press response to them charging for use of the facility. made them rethink. then move it was a questionable move to be charging at a time when there were the people trying to move very swiftly to accommodate the victims of the virus and so they rethought it and that was a wise thing to read rethink it both from an ethical standpoint and i would imagine from a long term standpoint of the relationship with the n.h.s. on the one side though that i mean we're in a free market this is the free market at play if there is demand you know then you can you can charge what you like but what kind of ethical issues does this virus pose right now well i mean basically if you're looking at right now because the crisis where you're looking for from a good share of the cost input of doing the greatest good for the greatest number of people. the profit takes

a backseat. to to doing what's right in turn it into an attempt to save lives from a business standpoint they ought to also have to think about what are the long term implications of trying to be a profiteer during a time like this i mean going further down that road on the issue it of ethics i mean we've got right now the situation where every country is trying to get hold of mosques of personal protective equipment we're talking about you know vaccine trials and everybody's trying to look after their own looking after their own population i mean are we going to see more of this is this virus continues to spread around the globe. well it seems like it right now it feels like it's that direction whether it's country to country even within the united states from state to state where people are trying to get hold of the equipment what seems to be needed is some kind of at least in the states a country wide effort and then some kind of international effort to try to sort of address it all together and work together to do it which seems to be lacking right now why is every country looking to look after its own 1st is it purely economic or

are there geo political strategic interests at play here. well i believe it's both i mean it's economic and geopolitical i also think that some of this is because for one reason or another. it happened quickly and there was nothing in place to prepare for such a a far reaching and rapidly spreading pandemic that we haven't experienced before. you know so so it's sort of the suddenness of it the people who sort of try to just get their own house protected and also they want to make sure that if they take care of other people there will be people who take care of them when that when the time comes because it's happening so quickly again from an ethical standpoint it would be nice to think that people would start thinking about what's the impact worldwide beyond this because the the the virus doesn't seem to know any borders thank you for your time that's professor geoffrey segmented sing electra and public

communities pension reports from chicago. here in america's bread basket the corona virus has yet to descend in force on the nation's farms. but john keep your nose it's coming and the timing could hardly be worse some people are going to get sick the numbers are out there the history of this virus is we're not going to avoid it like most farmers keefe nurse who raises corn soybean and chickens is already used socially isolated but the average u.s. farmers 58 and a half years old putting them in the high risk group for the global pandemic that is yet to reach much of rural america a lot of younger farmers aren't worried about it all i'm of the mindset that i'm probably not going to avoid it i'm going to get it and i'd rather get it now. in the past year american farms have endured damaging floods a trade war with china and now a virus that threatens their workers and their ability to transport food to market

if we shrink the labor pool this year that's going to be terrible all the emphasis is on the supply chain and my biggest fear is the transportation industry we constantly have a shortage of truck drivers so truck drivers need to avoid this virus. on chicago's mercantile exchange and throughout the midwestern farm belt agricultural income fell nearly 10 percent compared with last year and that was before the virus then there's the worry about getting livestock to market meat packing plants or labor intensive that would be the biggest problem would be these even have processing plants let's say had to shut down even temporarily it's going to drive down price for a while because you're going to have a back in the supply chain. john key for says farmers can get through the short term but the longer the crisis lasts the more strained america's food supply will be if this becomes a long to law endemic it's going to be

a lot of people relying on us farmers until then keefe naren farmers like him are doing their best to stay isolated and in good health john hendren elgin's era chicago. a quarter of the many of european union citizens are expected to be thought home soon and the law scholar patrician effort by the government's 350000 others mostly tourists have already been airlifted from all over the world by chartered airline is a military aircraft. it could be a hospital reception but as bolivia's airport the country's airspace is closed part of measures to contain covered 19 it came back to life on saturday after the french embassy organized an exception to get european tourists home but i meant that. actually my return date had expired the airline hard rescheduled it for the end of this month but we know this is going to take longer because covert 19 is spreading i found out about the repatriation flyest undecided to return. his story repeats in

was time after sports here is far as i can thank you so much kobe bryant has received one of the highest honors in basketball the former n.b.a. superstar who died in a helicopter crash earlier this year has been inducted into the sports hall of fame right headlines a group of 9 players who were elected into the 2020 s. american played his entire 2 decade career with the l.a. lakers before retiring in 2016 wright was killed in january alongside his 13 year old daughter and 8 other people. brian was regarded as one of the greatest basketball players of all time he won 5 n.b.a. championships and was an 18 time all-star he also won gold medals with team usa at the 20082012 olympics and said he was looking forward to the olympics returning to l.a. in 2028 wright had also been racking up accolades off the courts in 2018 his movie dear basketball won an oscar for best animated short brian is survived by his wife

an asset and 3 other daughters it's incredible accomplishment and honor and burke strongly proud of him obviously we wish that he was here with fans. to celebrate. but it's definitely. the good news career there is some solace in knowing that he was probably going to be a part of better 2020 hall of fame class also joining bryant in the hall of fame is tim duncan he played for the san antonio spurs throughout his 19 year career and was a 5 time and champion kevin garnett was another to get the nod one of only 4 players to win m.v.p. and defensive player of the year he claimed his one and a championship with the boston celtics in 2006. all the union that represents english premier league footballers has questioned the wisdom of reducing players'

salaries the premier league and u.k. government are putting pressure on players to take a pay cut professional footballers' association says the proposed move to lower wages by 30 percent could actually damage the country's national health service the p.f.a. claim that would result in an annual loss in tax contributions of more than $250000000.00 in a statement the union said what effect does this loss of earning to the government mean for the national health service was this considered in the premier league proposal and did the health secretary matt hancock's factor this in or asking players to take a salary cuts that we have a added it's our priority to finalize the precise details of our commitment as soon as possible all this impasse comes at a time when some clubs are putting non-playing staff on temporary leave european champions liverpool join that list on saturday it means 80 percent of their pay will now come from the taxpayer with only the remaining 20 percent paid for by the

club. well a chinese super league is likely to be one of the 1st major football competitions to return and less clubs even discussed a proposal to finish their season in china we spoke to football writer brendan chalmers who lives in beijing he says such a plan is and likely to happen there was definite possibility for that in the past before there started to be the issue of you know china's concerns about the 2nd wave before china started having these cases come in from abroad i think if china really wanted to show that things were back to normal and one way of doing that would be having fans and stadiums and being able to host sort of this i mean if the european matches if the english matches were going to be behind closed doors anyways why not play them in china if china was able to have fans there at this

point i really think china is going to be very conservative about things i don't think that that they'll wait to see they'll wait for the japanese league or the korean league to come back 1st they don't want to be the 1st league to come back and potentially have an issue right now the key is that you need to see the c b a the basketball the comeback 1st they're foreigners who are all requested back already they've put together a plan where they were only going to play in 2 cities and finish up the season and they have. just a handful of games left in their season and then the playoffs and i think once that starts then we can seriously start to see football is going to start within a week or 2 of that most likely when that comes back i honestly think at this point we're looking at late may or early june for the start of the c.f.l.

season. well some football is continuing and corners of the world previously ignored by the majority of fans that the family began its new season as planned all matches are being played behind closed doors the central asian countries yet to officially report a single case of the corona virus infection. has closed its borders and stopped issuing work permits to foreigners that the football federation says it's now hoping to secure broadcasting deals with sports networks around the world. and the top league is also enjoy new levels of attention games in the central american nation are being played in empty stadiums but are being broadcast online many players are unhappy saying they weren't consulted about the decision to keep the league going there are 5 confirmed cases in the country ok and that is all your support for now came back to thank you that far that's it

for me for this news hour but i will be back in just a moment with more of the day's news so keep it here on the scene. you know that corruption has reached a level like never ever before in our country. run counter. to president of the united states. the power was in the data we will the american people with the truth and nothing else discover the formula for winning the white house on fair game on al jazeera. there's a wave of sentiment around the world people actually want accountability from the people who are running their countries and i think often people's voices are not heard because they're just not part of the mainstream news narrative. obviously we cover big stories and we report on the big events that are going on but we also

tell the stories of people who generally don't have a voice i mean when i was a child my that's never be afraid to put a hand up not a question and i think that's what i'm sure really does the os the questions to people who should be accountable and also we get people to give their view of what's going on. join the global conversation off the bubble to the people that expand their brains maybe have a different view this is a dialogue women in cambodia are in fact selling their here we don't know how much they're getting paid for it it's hard to track it's hard to treat everyone has a voice tell us what you think the thinking could be a law right here in the state we need to step away from gaming people are not necessarily game perfect this is a journey of progress and not perfection on how does iraq.
