climate change their editorial show you think they don't believe they have anything to apologize for they're listening post on al-jazeera. revealing eco friendly solutions to come back dress to walk planet on al-jazeera. the british prime minister boris johnson is taken to hospital 10 days after being tested positive for the corona virus while we may have more still to indio better days were written but there's a note of free assurance from britain's queen elizabeth as the nation battles the pandemic. is there a life in london undead in obligato also ahead. it's going to be the hardest moment

for many americans in their entire life has topped off to tells the country to brace for a tough 2 weeks ahead. and at high risk the u.s. farmers fearing their arrival of the virus and the impact it could have on america's food supply. hello we begin with news out of the united kingdom where the prime minister boris johnson has been admitted to hospital 10 days after testing positive for the corona virus let's get more on the story and bring in revenue joining us from london mary and what were you hearing about this. yes that's right we know that prime minister has been admitted to hospital for a series of tests downing street spokesperson released a statement describing this as a precautionary measure because of the persistent nature of his symptoms so we know

the promise of boris johnson has had these coronavirus symptoms after testing positive for the virus and of course he has been living and working in isolation for the past 10 days in his flat in downing street he's had his meals carefully brought in he's not been in physical contact with anyone but he has continued to fulfil is post as prime minister throughout his time we know that he's been in touch with government ministers and officials he's been having phone conversations with his colleagues he's been conducting cabinet meetings and basically what king remotely as many of us have been doing but he's also made a real effort to maintain contact with the british public by posting these messages on social media and it has to be said as it looked particularly well in some of the messages that he's been posting there you can really see the effect of those symptoms weighing on him when he appears in those messages and of course the idea behind that is to well not only just to explain the significance of social

distancing measures and to try to explain the rationale and the strategy behind some of the government's decisions right now but it's really says show that he is still very much in charge of the government that he is in the driving seat now in terms of why he's been admitted to hospital at this point in time it is obviously is a great deal that we don't know about this but of course one of the symptoms of coronavirus is a fever and typically if a patient has had a fever for an extended period of time they would be admitted to hospital for a series of tests blood tests perhaps a scan. just to check for infection it was we don't know that that's necessarily what's happened in this case but we do know that on about day 10 of having the coronavirus illness that's when it can start to get a lot worse so it makes sense that perhaps this stage of the illness even if the

symptoms are not deteriorating as downing street is indicated it's just that they are persistent that in itself is enough of a threshold to admit the prime minister to hospital just to make sure that he is examined in monitored more closely all right thank you very much for that update well let's stay with the impacts of the coronavirus in the u.k. which is emerging as a hot spot in the pandemic the country's queen elizabeth has paid tribute to the country's health service workers in a rare televised address but her words came as more than 600 further people died and the government pleaded for people to stay home john a whole reports 2 weeks into the u.k.'s lockdown and deserted city scenes are testament to a new way of life most people staying home for as long as science and the government decide they must also on lockdown in windsor castle her residence outside london the queen 93 years old reminded britain's that this crisis to

woodpile we should take comfort that while we may have more still to endure better days return we will be with our friends again we will be with our families again we will meet again but the government is worried about isolation for tea and a minority of people embracing the warm spring weather to picnic and sunbathe in the parks on prominent and beaches the more people follow the rules then the faster we will all be through so i say this to this small minority of people who are breaking the rules or pushing the boundaries. you're risking your own life and the lives of others and you're making it harder for all banning all this the ability to go outside to exercise in public as the health secretary has said he might have to do would be intolerable to many particularly those who live in cramped apartments

with no outside space only compounding the effect isolation has on physical and mental health but the argument goes that if people aren't going to change their behavior themselves well then they might have to be forced to in order to save lives best friends in meal and gabriel a keeping in touch at a safe distance through the fence is still our best friend and we're very good friends so i think that's one of the hardest things about it so where do i responsible and we just come for a walk once a day but this is really really difficult as far as i know like this is what the government has recommended you get outside and you get as much sun and fresh air as you can obviously stay away from people so i think we're doing the social distancing quite well with the police exercising emergency powers to move people on it's expected that britain will get a pretty good idea where the lockdown efforts have helped reduce the peak when it

comes in the next week or so but even then a way out of this crisis involving eventual widespread community testing and contact tracing to manage a 2nd wave is many weeks away yet jonah hill al-jazeera london scotland's chief medical officer has resigned after she failed to stick to her own social distancing advice catherine coulter word was pictured in a national newspaper visiting her 2nd home it was then revealed she had made the journey 2 weekends in a row police say they've issued her with a warning or word has been among those urging people to stay at home to save lives and protect the country's health service. new york state has reported more than a 1000 new infections in the last 24 hours and the state remains the center of america's outbreak making up more than 40 percent of the country's death toll let's get an update from i did so castro joining us from maryland hi there heidi so what more we're hearing out of new york hearing well the death

toll from the last 24 hours in new york cross the state is 594 people deaths due to the corona virus now while that number is certainly dire it does offer a glimmer of hope in the fact that it is for the 1st time a drop in the daily total of deaths since the day prior nicol the governor of new york andrew cuomo has cautioned that is certainly too early to read anything into that figure and whether or not new york has reached the climax of its curve and is now on the way down it's simply too early to tell me while national health experts were on television screens this morning saying that while social distancing which has been the official government policy in all but 9 states while that fear appears to be effective it is still too early to claim that the situation is under

control and the u.s. surgeon general jerome adams had a very dire warning to americans saying the worst is still to come. the next week is going to be our pearl harbor moment it's going to be our 911 moment and it's going to be the hardest moment for many americans in their entire lives and we really need to understand that if we want to flatten that curve and get through that to the other side everyone needs to do their part 90 percent of americans are doing their part even in the states where where where they haven't had a shelter in place but if you can't give us 30 days governors give us give us a week give us what you can so that we don't overwhelm our health care systems over this next week and then let's reassess at that point so what does the situation look like nationally then heidi. well what's interesting is when you just heard the u.s. surgeon general in the sun's begging state governors to give the federal government 7 days 30 days of this corn team what's interesting is certainly the u.s.

president president obama has the authority to order that across the country and he has declined to do so again all but 9 states have or should have issued their local stay at home orders and we have seen hot spots emerging at various times with illinois and with detroit as in louisiana as emerging hot spots with the coronavirus and that has led some of these states governors to present an idea of shifting these critical ventilators that keep people alive when they're in the i.c.u. of deploying them from place to place as they are needed but absent a national order to do so to have states voluntarily comply did that is simply a very tall order and we've seen it governors democrats and particularly just skewer the federal government and president truman particularly saying that he

should have taken this threat war seriously in february started the manufacture of ventilators then rather than squander what precious time there was and now we're in a situation as a country where the ventilators that are in production will simply not be ready in time for when the nation hits its peak. so koester thank you for that update from maryland well the number of people killed by the corona virus in canada has increased by 20 percent in one day bringing the death toll to 258 the number of confirmed cases stands at just over $14400.00 canada has appealed to volunteers to support frontline health care workers it's also offering full time jobs to reservists. ecuador's government has begun storing the bodies of victims of the coronavirus and giant refrigerated containers that's as hospitals and morgues struggle to cope. has emerged as a regional hotspot for infections forcing some families in the city to store bodies

home authorities are distributing thousands of cardboard coffins president clinton has said up to 3 and a half 1000 people to die in the region in the coming weeks alone iran has reported another $151.00 deaths but also a decrease in the total number of new infections for the 5th day in a row comes as the country tries to get back to normality explains from. 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 hassan 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 some health experts saying that that could bring on a 2nd wave year 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 says i'm compelled to 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 it's always been a balance between fighting a public health crisis and making sure the country's economy does not go bust 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 had on al jazeera millions of people at risk of disease in nigeria's overcrowded displacement camps. where we'll soon be making sure it's a pact our immunity passports that's just one idea to get the world's economy back on its feet. tells coming up. hello there watching weather conditions across northern and southern areas of australia in particular we're watching this this isn't tropical cyclone harald now we've got winds at about 200 kilometers an hour as we go through monday it's quite a small somet is very very powerful so those sustained winds of 200 kilometers an

hour if this was a hurricane it would be considered category 3 so that gives an idea how dangerous it is the rain is very heavy it's a fairly slow moving storm system so we're looking at about $350.00 millimeters of rain accumulating across the on in chain of one wall who's ahead slowly towards the southeast so we'll keep an eye on that but definitely this will lead to flooding and some damage we go try to skies monday across much of southern australia some rain just doing its best to push into western areas of the south island and it stays mostly dry certainly into most southern areas of western australia warm day can impose on shoes at 34 degrees celsius some rain pushing down across into northern i was the western australia and all the while across the north he was on a storm some of those could be quite heavy at times again we could see some fairly have to cuba nations staying quite cloudy across the southeast and you'll notice as we go through cheese say this system working its way across much of the south but windy conditions all the time it is not fairing too badly 21 celsius in christchurch and akula 17 over in wellington.

perception is validation we believe what we see but in one life time we cannot see everything that we would lie and he experiences of others and the legacies of previous generations. testimony we've got you know very little. with this documentaries that open your eyes on al-jazeera.

and other than the top stories on al-jazeera the u.k.'s prime minister boris johnson has been admitted to hospital 10 days after testing positive for the work of virus the government has described it as a precautionary step after johnson showed persistence and timbs of the virus. meanwhile 594 more deaths have been reported in new york the epicenter of the outbreak in the u.s. the country's top doctor says americans must brace for the hardest and saddest week off their lives. but death rates are falling in the world's 2 worst hit nations italy has recorded 525 more deaths thoughts its lowest although more than 2 weeks and spain has reported 674 new fatalities 1st time that number has dropped below 800 in a week. nigeria has confirmed 4 deaths on more than 200 cases of the virus aid workers say close to 2000000 people in camps in the country's northeast are extremely vulnerable pooh. an attrition

a lot of proper sanitation and overcrowding are dangerous problems 100 dreams reports from. a sprawling county for the displaced in my degree it's one of dozens dotting the landscape of the old east in nigeria. and some of the camps aid workers hand out soap and water in the race to improve personal hygiene as more coronavirus infections and deaths are reported people are complaining very well the level of complaints as you can see is here the security is at the gates rides around trying to enforce in fact i even say to somebody who wanted to get access to the camps and then to fasten actually declined to wash and of course he was denied access. but the residents here are under norrish with some having to wait in lines to fetch drinking water overcrowding is another major problem making social distancing almost impossible to tell if he dark again there's no support or any

donation that would encourage hygiene and healthy lifestyles but yet they are still making emphasis on coughing executes good personal hygiene so how do you expect the less privileged in the camp to cope with this situation. we are always praying that through we can do this is a test from almighty god so we ought to accept it with good faith. 10 years of war with boko haram the group fighting against nigeria's army has forced more than 2 and a half 1000000 people from their homes into camps like this. the united nations and i was to make this response may just to mitigate the spread of corn of others among the most vulnerable in the northeast but organizations such as doctors without borders save the situation in the camps is dire it's made worse by the continuing broke autumn attacks not only in northeastern nigeria but in neighboring cameroon chad and the shared public. many fear a corona virus outbreak in these camps could become a strike i fear that's becoming more real with health facilities crumbling across

the country public increase i'll just say that south sudan has confirmed its 1st case of the coronavirus us presidents react machar set a u.n. worker infected with the virus arrived from another lin's in february the 29 year old woman is now being treated in isolation cell sudan has just 4 ventilators for a population of 11000000 people a 2nd refugee camp has been quarantined near athens after a 53 year old man tested positive for the corona virus about 800 people living in mother tasa camp are now being screams johnson says enough and that he says the government is worried about the number of refugees and migrants who could become sick. 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 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 and the 1st one proved to produce about 24 cases 24 infections partly because all pharmacies 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 good. 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 it's been a tough year for american farmers they've dealt with massive floods a trade war with china and they're now classified as high risk for the coronavirus many of them fear shortages of both food and workers of the virus spreads into their rural communities so 100 reports from america's midwest. 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 socially isolated but the average u.s. farmer is 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 well 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 limestone 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 there'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. the head of the roman catholic church pope francis has celebrated palm sunday mass in an empty st peter's basilica only a handful of nuns in the pontiff aides were in attendance normally tens of thousands of people fill the square but at least strict lockdown is still in place to prevent any further spread in a country that's been devastated by the virus all holy week celebrations leading up to easter have also been cancelled and this is sunday lived in jerusalem where the traditional mass was also cancelled it was streamed online instead the roman

catholic cathedral allowed only 10 people to attend in person. they live on the margins of society and there are fears for how undocumented workers in the us will survive the pandemic along with their families they have little access to health care and often less chance to avoid the virus has more from los angeles one son to yon is a day laborer. i work day to day so i have to work this is them with the work that i don't work with i want to have enough to cover the basic necessities in a city that is both because. at the nonprofit outreach center where something yon goes to find work staff are preparing bags with soap tissues and information packets about covert 19 who are really concerned specifically for workers that are elderly we're really concerned about them we'd like to say we have a huge population of workers that are 60 and while at work many undocumented

workers can't even practice basic virus prevention our workers who don't have access to running water can even wash their hands at the month senior osco romero clinic in los angeles dr don garcia treats low income families many of whom are undocumented they live in the shadows their exposure i could very well say on an epidemiological site could even be higher than the ordinary resident or person of the united states just because of their employment standards garcia says some undocumented people ovoid interacting with public health systems for fear of being caught like immigration authorities and deported doctors say if the situation remains in which undocumented people stay in the shadows away from the health care system during the pandemic it poses a grave risk to the population as a whole they're becoming a transmission vector to all those other individuals that they're exposed to unless

government policy encourages undocumented people to come out of the shadows the danger of infection could increase for everyone robert oulds al jazeera los angeles going back to work and getting the economy moving again may take a long time in many countries but there's one idea out there that's already being worked on it's being called an immunity pos bortz priyanka gupta explains. the coronavirus has transformed the world where empty streets and shuttered businesses are the norm and billions are under lockdown but researchers around the world are developing tests and conducting clinical studies to explore if people who have been infected and cured are no longer at risk the aim is to eventually allow people to go back to normal life the idea behind this is that if people get him you

and natural infection they would have a similar situation to someone having received a vaccination and we could use the protests as soon as popper antibody tests become available we could use antibody tests to document that immunity exists. britain which is struggling to speed up testing has floated the idea of a so-called immunity passport a certificate for those who recovered and declared immune to the virus in the minetta region of italy infected doctors and nurses are being tested to see if they have developed resistance to the virus so they can return to work and millions more italians will be tested for natural antibodies but it's unclear just how reliable and effective the tests be if you where we don't know what kind of immunity people are going to have so that will say yes you've got these antibodies but what

we don't know is how protective the bodies are at a time when government lockdowns have brought so many people off their livelihoods they're also concerns about criminals forging immunity documents this passport can be the equivalent of yellow fever. that allow international travel to resume if countries recognize such a certificate. but there will be a red letter. that it's rolled counterfeit certifications because individual communities urgently want to return to economic activity they're all to difficult ethical questions about whether such a difficult will cause more prejudice and further restrict the most vulnerable in society you can ensure that people face lower risks and we reduce the death toll from this but you have to make more decisions about you know who will be allowed to

work and who won't be who will be allowed to travel who would be the idea attractive and hopefully perhaps but also from with uncertainties asked the world hunkers down for yet another day of the global pandemic pianka could go on to 0 well you can find much more information about that idea from immunity passport on our website al-jazeera dot com where you'll find the day's top stories all the latest headlines. well again the headlines on al-jazeera britain's prime minister has been admitted to hospital with corona virus boris johnson tested positive for the virus on the 27th of march his office says he's undergoing tests as he has continued to show persistent symptoms of the virus for 10 days he's the 1st elected the world leader to contract the virus meanwhile people in the u.k.
