a rare televised address to the public has the u.k. finds the pandemic. typing the pandemic together has been a challenge for europe now salma looking to germany to help ease the financial fallout plus. we see light at the end of the total more conflicting information from the u.s. president as the leading medical official in charge warns the worst is yet to come see many senior i don't have a working radio or t.v. i don't even have a computer to listen to those 30 programs the global crisis has altered the state of learning and it's made me poor students with no computers who are suffering the most. honest for the union that represents more than $80000.00 athletes says many sports are facing a financial could such trophy the world of players association says league seasons need to be finished to avoid huge losses.

british prime minister boss johnson is in hospital with symptoms 10 days after he tested positive for cause at 19 a spokesperson says it was a precautionary measure and that johnson would continue to lead the government earlier queen elizabeth made a rare televised address to the nation she urged the british people to remain united and resolute to overcome the art break and numbers just released from spain show the daily death toll is continuing to fall 637 people died there in the last 24 hours but that's down nearly 40 from the previous day and japanese prime minister shinzo arbor has begun steps towards declaring a state of emergency as infection search across major cities and we have 3 correspondents starting us off this hour dominic cain is in berlin to talk about europe's efforts to keep the economy moving mater it was in madrid to bring us up to date on the situation in spain and rory chalons will give us the latest updates

from london we'll go to them in just a moment 1st though john hall begins our coverage with this report 2 weeks into the u.k.'s lockdown and deserted city scenes a 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 britons that this crisis too would pass we should take comfort that while we may have more still to endure better days will 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 prominence and beaches the more people follow the rules then the

faster we will all be through it 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 we're trying to mean a sponsor full. 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 it's 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 whether 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 how al-jazeera london. let's bring in roy telephones joining us now from 10 downing street in london so rory boris johnson has left downing street he's gone to hospital how serious is this. what of course anything connected to covert 19 and a hospital admission is serious but downing street is saying that this hospital

admission for boris johnson is not because his condition has necessarily got any worse but it's because it has been going on now for so long it's persistence and in one of those recent video addresses he did say that he was still suffering from a fever his temperature was high so according to downing street that's the reason why he's going into a hospital he was there overnight will be going through tests today the kinds of tests that boris johnson will be going through perhaps scans on his chest to have a look at his lungs to see if there's been any damage or any telltale signs of the pneumonia the people get when coded 19 progress is too it's more serious stages they'll be looking at it his immune response they'll be looking at is it is hot. we are being told that the boris johnson is still continuing

to lead the country but if things get much worse then it will be rob the foreign secretary you will step in to take over boris johnson's condition to deteriorate significantly. rory what about the numbers out of the u.k. when is the peak of the epidemic expected the pandemic is expected in the u.k. . well we're not there yet i think we know that for sure a couple of weeks ago we were being told by government scientists that the peak was probably 2 to 3 weeks away so we might well still have a week possibly even longer before we really do see the peak of covert 19 coronaviruses in the u.k. the daily death toll seems to be doubling every 2 to 3 days and

if that trend continues then we'll be hitting a 1000 deaths a day sometime this week and perhaps 2000 deaths a day by next weekend. but the real metric to be looking at to work out whether the peak is is here or not is the new hospital admissions and new cases the signs are in the u.k. that those do seem to be plastering but with again warns quite regularly by the scientists don't drill down into any particular day for an idea of where this happened look so the long term trends of long term trends still still do seem to show that the the number of cases in the u.k. is increasing but it's just increasing slower than it was before thank you for that update there that's the warri chalons live from london. ireland's prime minister is returning to work as a part time doctor they are varadkar who trained as a physician before entering politics has rejoined the medical register and will

form covered 19 assessments once a week thousands of retired medical professionals have answered an appeal from the health service to go back. let's get more on the update get an update rather about the situation in spain we can speak to martha editor who joins us live from madrid smarter bring us up to speed with the latest numbers coming out of spain is that encouraging trend that we've seen over the past few days continuing yes yes for sure we have 135000 what it did from coronavirus with 4200 new cases of people infected in verse 24 hours the death toll in spain is direct now 13000 and we have been reduced to 637 you fatalities seen yesterday this is the lowest number since march 24th these next 2 weeks ago but we have to be a little bit cautious with these 2 years during the week and the reduced it's a slower structure saloon we need to more of to get to compare with these to slow

down trend is 100 percent certain mars or many countries including spain looking ahead to the next phase what happens after the apex what what is spain considering . well as prime minister spanish prime minister better santa reported yesterday he's slamming a bar come approving these 15 day extensions in the congress passing this group all of these until april 25 they're also thinking in a for a future plan or whether it should be more just me maurice ing the measures because it will be an extension 100 percent so they need to plan what they're going to do next one of the things we know is that he's asking the 17th regency in spain to provide a lease of private. infrastructures in order to isolate a symptom and seemed to mattick coronavirus patience china a few days

a few months ago with the strike it called north ark and in a way to to stop the spread of the pandemic does work very well in china but we don't know whether in spain is going to work because the spike health ministry has distributed 1000000 test kits we don't have enough so we need to have more and more supply of test kits in spain in order to to it be to be snores arc be affective uncharted territory on so many fronts thank you for that mater live from madrid european leaders have been locked in a dispute over how to share the burden of the financial fallout from the outbreak one proposal has been put forward to use a financial mechanism called khurana bonds a 1st germany was reluctant to be part of it instead it's coming up with a plan of its own the mccain joins us now live from the for more dominic tell us about germany's plan and how this is different from corona bottles. the german

governments has really resisted the idea of europe barnes' floor of very considerable period of time much of the last decades really didn't want to provide your own vaughn's the feeling in germany being that perhaps the tax payers in germany would be resistant to guarantee that debts accrued by of the european countries who perhaps hadn't being sexist through will as germany had been what's happening now is the government here is expressing its solidarity hole the plight of the e.u. member states specifically spain italy but of those 2 so the foreign minister mohsen the finance minister all that shots but from the same policy the social democrat policy of britain and also kill again a series of leading newspapers around continental europe inside the euro zone where they say germany needs to step up germany wants to express solidarity not just by helping out in the pell cannot just by helping out by them seeing patients who have

severe coronavirus sometimes but also financially they're saying that the european stability mechanism which is a mechanism that's been in place in much of the pos decades to help countries that need urgent loans right now well they say that it's only in spain and others should be able to access those loans immediately with talk of something around 3x9b2x9b for the 2 respective countries that that can be accessed immediately and where they can talk about how long they'll need to repay them that germany is prepared to say well you can we can talk about repayments and we can talk about budgets and that sort of thing in the long run what matters now is getting the money right now we can worry about the small print as it were the fine print later on don't tell the market can about the political wrangling that thing going on between european countries around all of this. well the point here is that noles in european countries specifically germany and the dutch 2 are resistant to this idea of euro

bonds because there is a sizable contingent of people in both countries we think why should their taxpayers have to pick up the tab be the ultimate guarantor of debts accrued by other countries and there's still a great deal of feeling in that direction however people aren't immune to seeing the pictures of patients struggling in hospitals up and down the comes in and and so it's the germans now well they're moving slightly but to put into perspective what they're offering now relatives of the signs of euro bonds one economist i spoke to just a few minutes ago was saying to me look the e.s.m. this debility mechanism needs to be 4 times bigger if it's to help the spaniards and the italians right now it's in the european investment bank needs to think 10 times bigger and so far because of concerns than it has done so far so you have the sense that the northern europeans want to help but with caviar. thank you for that update there dominic came live from the and then japan's prime minister shinzo

see light at the end of the tunnel things are happening things are happening and the country's top health officials but 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 life the u.s. surgeon general warns many more people will die in the coming days the expected surge adding urgency to the cries of state governors asking the federal government for deliveries of life saving equipment so we governors republicans and democrats have been urging the president to do what he should which is if he wants to be a wartime president be a wartime president show some leadership mobilize industrial base united states that's what we need trump says ventilators from the federal stockpile are in route to several states and claims the u.s.

has conducted more coronavirus tests than any other country per capita though testing in the u.s. is still far behind south korea and germany trump says the u.s. has stockpiled $29000000.00 doses of the anti-malarial drug that is being used experimentally to treat kovac 19 the president says he has so much personal confidence in the treatment that it was his idea to have patients why the right to sue if the drug ends up doing them harm that's hydroxy clerical and is written meissen. and again you have to go through the medical people get the approval. but. i've seen things that i sort of like so what do i know i'm not a doctor. when reporters later tried asking the dr anthony felt she the government's top infectious disease expert trump stopped him from answering the weigh in on this

issue hi dr burkley. what do you think about this is what it is. they've changed doctors 15. meanwhile doctors and nurses across the country continue to plead for donations of more masks and gallants bracing for the apex of cases still to come castro al-jazeera maryland lebanon has called on its allies abroad to provide a visit to the global outbreak president michel aoun made the appeal in a televised address lebanon's long running economic crisis has left it poorly equipped to handle a public health emergency it's reported more than 500 infections and 18 deaths. a tiger at a new exude has tested positive for covert 19 the bronx zoo said nadia a 4 year old female malayan tiger had developed a dry cough and was tested as

a precaution zoo officials said 6 of the tigers and 3 lions also develop symptoms it's believed they were infected by a zoo employee. let's take a closer look at the story research as a still trying to understand how easy it is for animals to get infected 2 dogs in one cat recently tested positive for cove and 19 in hong kong after their own is came down with the virus but the animal showed no symptoms and the world health organization stresses there's no evidence yet that a companion animal control the virus to a human u.s. department of agriculture is not recommending routine tests for animals yet and the centers for disease control is urging those infected to limit their contact with animals out of caution. well qana bamford is a just at queen's university belfast belfast and he joins us on skype from there thank you for your time so is this all the proof that that humans can in fact animals and if so does it mean that animals can infect humans so i think what we've

seen the last couple of months from these early anecdotes right through to the more recent more thoroughly researched cases into the tigers and the term some experimental models we can see that animals who are inside of humans can be infected and with a krone virus and it looks like indeed could probably pass on that infection. that's most likely seen in this tiger example one thing is that don't appear to get too sick to the dry cough and some wheezing symptoms and tigers is a big concern and the other question and really a really important question is that it highly likely are these animal protection is able to pass the virus on and so far we don't really have a strong idea whether that is. it's possible or probable and even if it was possible i think the most the vast majority of cases are going to be coming from other people i mean the humane thing if you're worried about your pay it was to

worry about your pets i guess and not yourself so much but there are reports of people dumping their animals on the street because they're afraid is that fair founded. i don't think that fear is fond at you for one and from an animal point of view we know that that will probably don't get too sick and secondly they animals probably caught the virus from the people they're most in contact with and that's probably you and secondly you know at the minute we don't have very good evidence whether it goes animals who are infected that might even pass the virus on and secondly we don't really know why likely this is happening. in the community and even if it was happening relatively likely but again most of those infections are going to be coming from people so we definitely do not think that it's right to be dumping animals in any sort of way should we be stopping our animals from being in contact with other animals i know i take my dog out for

a walk it's almost impossible to get her to not play with other dogs i mean should we be keeping them inside. again you don't we have to be a lot to tell us we know that they can get probably get infected they don't get sick they probably don't or aren't that well evil to pacify them so on we don't think you know that we don't know and then the question then of course you know most of the case is going to come from people and we should be really focusing this on limiting the human interactions because after all for all you know these animals are catching the virus from people you know they're in close contact but so if you stop people getting infected you're going to stop the vast majority of animal infections so we are the problem not our pets i'm just finally is there any difference between wild animals and pets when it comes to the transmission of coronavirus. admit it we know. and we'd be surprised if there were differences

for example we know that many animals have their own coronaviruses even cats have their own viruses and levy and wild cats do not have those kind of our so we know that there are differences. we know that door panels but it seems that at least pet cats. while tigers knew their arms are able to catch the affections so theoretically i wouldn't be surprised that it appears that the practically there doesn't seem to be too many differences although i know that the pet cat did not appear to have disease where these tankers in the zoo and kim time are the costs so maybe while they can both be infected and one might be more susceptible to disease then the other thank you for your time that's contraband a viral or just at queen's university belfast. the government of democratic republic of congo has shut down its capital's main commercial hub for 14 days can she also is the epicenter of

a nationwide outbreak they say it more now from malcolm webb who joins us by skype from kenya's capital nairobi so there were concerns about looting during a lockdown in kinshasa how is this lockdown playing out. well the lockdowns actually only being applied in the gone bay district which is a central part commercial district of kinshasa on the banks of the river congo where there are government buildings embassies foreign embassies commercial buildings not many residential areas so the police have sealed off. this is a main commercial hub of the city but they haven't applied any lockdown to the rest of the city which is that is 3rd largest city nearly 12000000 people living in sprawling low rise all of which is quite gently populated so the health or dorothy's had said that it was the center of the transmission for corona virus but we're getting to see actually how active is this going to be moved kinshasa is

nearly 12000000 people still living in those very. cramped conditions and moving around pretty much as normal throughout the rest of the city thank you for that update there that's malcolm webb coming to us live from nairobi the pandemic has for schools around the world to close with students continuing their education on like many in some parts of africa are missing out because the results aren't available catherine so i reports from eastern kenya where thousands of students and urban informal settlements and rural areas are struggling. maybe we will skip this part this is the new normal in many schools in kenya we are little quick check in before the lesson starts and julius my sharia settling into the idea that he might be remotely teaching his students for months my machine has honed some of the challenges we are experiencing. is dealing with a few technology cliches and the fact that not all children might give 100 percent

bit branom joins us now live from delhi with wore this but this is the 1st time i've heard of anything like this locking down a hospital what can you tell us. and it follows the government releasing its containment strategy over the weekend kim that said that any so-called hotspots that had a lot of cases would be contained sealed off for at least 4 weeks. 4 weeks without any reported cases and that's what they've done to the walcott hospital in mumbai as you said no one's allowed to enter or exit until all of the patients and their tests negative for coronavirus twice then nearly 300 patients and nurses who will be tested after those 3 doctors and 26 nurses tested positive and that is one less facility in the state with the highest number of cases and deaths which is now fully functioning now there is concern

a lot of concern for maharashtra not just because it has the highest number of cases and deaths but also because last week there was the 1st reported case in mumbai that of the slum that's one of the largest slums in the world it's home to more than a 1000000 people and since then they have been 5 reported cases one of whom died and they have been to containment zones created in the heart of the after the 1st patients death around his home and also of the doctor who tested positive huge concern because over a 1000000 people living in really close proximity many without full access to basic sanitation another really big concern and also in india right now as elsewhere in the world is the lack of personal protection equipment for health care workers we've had a number of at least 80 infected around the country a number of doctors resign in delhi citing the lack of personal protection equipment we've seen reports of doctors in west bengal and other places in fact

means increasing investment in online services and civil society organizations making sure systems continue to prosecute abusers setting up emergency warning systems in fantasies and gross abuse degrading shelters as essential services and creating safe ways for women to seek support with other loading their abusers so these lockdowns have created situations in which some abused women may face even more risk the french government has offered to pay for hotel rooms for domestic violence victims after reports of abuse jumped by 36 percent since the lock down 2 women have been murdered india saw abuse cases double in its 1st week of restrictions on movement nationwide that's according to the national commission for women and astray via internet searches for domestic violence support networks has risen by 75 percent while the national domestic abuse helpline in the u.k.

a country you know they really began with vice president hence the recurring information in a setting where he had been put in charge of the task force and not too long where after president trump kind of commandeered the show. one of the highlights of the campaign is the conventions the large gatherings to from the nominee attended to it's not even clear if he can be held this year or the president trump insists there's no way he's canceled if this lasts until november there will be questions of how people can even vote safely coronavirus has made an immediate impact on campaigning in the u.s. at times like these the country tends to rally around the president but his response to the virus will make it the core issue in the 2020 election alan fischer al-jazeera washington. the u.s. navy captain who was removed from command of a coronavirus stricken aircraft carrier has now tested positive captain brett
