president as the leading medical official in charge warns the worst is yet to come . pandemic forces the democratic republic of congo to shut down the capsules main commercial. and it's the final appeal for disgraced cardinal george pell the highest ranking catholic church figure to be convicted of child sex abuse . britain's prime minister barak's johnson is in hospital with symptoms 10 days after he tested positive for covert 90 a spokesperson said it was a precautionary measure 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 outbreak numbers released from spain meanwhile

show the daily death toll there is continuing to fall 637 people died there in the last 24 hours that nearly 40 from the previous day and japanese prime minister shinzo are begun steps towards declaring a state of emergency is in factions surge of crossed major cities jonah begins our coverage 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 too would pass we should take comfort that while we may have more still to endure better days return we'll 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 promenades 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. 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 in a way a very good friend so i think that's one of the hardest things about it so we're trying to be sponsible and we just come for a walk once a day but this is really really difficult as far as i know like with this is what the government has recommended you you know outside and you get as much silence 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 joan whole al-jazeera lumbered or i

let's bring in rory chalons now he joins us from number 10 downing street in london warry the prime minister's been trying to both run the country and get better is that going to have to change now. it's a difficult difficult task isn't it does seem difficult to see how the prime minister can both get the medical attention that he seems to be requiring at the moment and as do all the day to day managing of the country the prime minister is expected to do you can either get better and have all the tests that he needs or he can run the country but doing very together looks like a tricky thing to manage he has handed over chairing the daily coronavirus meeting at least been doing by video link for the duration of his coronavirus self isolation he's handed that over to dominic robb the foreign

secretary dominic robb incidentally is that is the person that would take over from boris johnson if he were seriously incapacitated but downing street is saying that his hospital admission is more because his symptoms are persistent rather than that they have got significantly worse so in a video just recently he was saying that he still has a bit of a temperature a fever although some of the other symptoms that he had been complaining of have gone away now but yes it depends on how wrong boris johnson is hospitalized for and what his real condition that he is now are people concerned there about the indications of the u.k. health sector said it wasn't imminent of the lock down being tightened. yeah i mean that that the government is still trying to walk this the delicate line

between more draconian measures and kind of allowing people to mingle in parts and whatnot over the weekend which might lead to further problems down the road if the corona virus infection rate isn't brought under control at the moment it's kind of playing the stern parent wagging its finger and saying look you really should be doing what we're telling you to do robert generate the community's minister was on the radio today saying that he would caution councils against shutting down parks and closing public spaces unless it was absolutely necessary because as we heard in enjoying his report there are people who you know might be cramped in small flats and going down to the park is their only real way of getting outside getting some fresh air so the government does not really it seems wants to push the restrictions on people's lives much further than they are the moments although it is warning that it might happen if it's absolutely necessary it's been

a lot of developments not only in the u.k. but across europe how's all of this feeding into the economic landscape. well i mean there is no question about it the u.k. and much of the world is heading for a punishing recession the big question is how deep is that recession going to be and how long will it take to come out of the other side of it i mean yes there are all these job pretensions schemes and loans that the u.k. government has has made available but the real world situation is showing that it's actually quite difficult for people and companies to get the kind of financial support of a say they need the u.k. is basically a services economy and most services have shut down cleaners are not cleaning restaurants are not open many air airlines not flying for you know as

a case in point easyjet which isn't flying at all at the moment the founder of easy jet has said that the company may well run out of money by august unless it gets any kind of financial assistance from from the government and that it's easy jet he's saying that easyjet should cancel or a $5500000000.00 deal with air bus which is obviously a huge so yeah the the u.k. is saying that we might be on course are on track for recession of perhaps 15 percent of g.d.p. as i said the question of course is whether. the recovery from that is a fast or a slow one all right we'll leave it there thanks so much for each alan's as we've said there's some hope in spain where the number of deaths dropping are dropping for a 4th straight day according to the health ministry 637 people died in just the past day just 2 days ago more than 800 people died the new total is just over

13000 killed lockdown measures are continuing through april. as the details from madrid. this is the lowest number since march 24th this means 2 weeks ago but we have to be a little bit cautious with these speakers as during the week and the reduced or it's a slower stross of soon we need 2 more of figures to compare with these that slow down trend is 100 percent certain spanish prime minister better santa reported yesterday he's planning a bar come approving these 15 day extensions in the congress passing this approval of these until april 25 they're also thinking in a for a future plan whether to be more deafening or easing the measures because there 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 17 regions in spain to provide at

least of private and public infrastructures in order to isolate a symptom and seem to mattick or on a virus patients china a few days few months ago with these project called north ark and in a way to to stop the spread of the pandemic these work very well in china but we don't know whether in spain is going to work because these spite the 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 effective. the u.s. fries event has struck an optimistic tone in his daily coronavirus briefing saying and then to the outbreak his insights but with the number of deaths in the u.s. approaching 10000 health experts a warning the worst is yet to come hard to joe castro ports. conflicting messages from the president of the united states we see light at the end of the tunnel
