monday doctors moved him to the intensive care unit that's in thomas' hospital in london during the course of this often in the promise his condition worsened and on the advice of the medical team who's moved in to a critical care unit so in light of those circumstances the prime minister asked me secretary to deputize for him when necessary and driving forward the government's plans to defeat coronavirus. support for the prime minister has come from across the british political spectrum and beyond terribly sad news tweeted keer starmer the new leader of the u.k.'s opposition labor party my thoughts are with you and your family so the brakes it negotiator michel barnier and from france's president micron all my support to boris johnson his family and the british people in this difficult moment here's a view inside one of britain's covert 19 wards bournemouth on the south coast of england doctors and nurses are fighting to save lives here every day and.

that. we still have to do. it in. between getting out of the way then also having that the face of contests the u.k.'s patient deaths rose by 439 on monday but many more deaths are happening outside hospitals in london specialist teams of police fire and health services have been set up to respond to these we are anticipating about 30 percent of the mortality in london will be involving dest within the community government scientists a stay at home measures do seem to be working to limit hospital admissions but it's still too soon to say how much we need a good long time series of data on on all of the stages of infection in order to be able to tell what the impact or the measures that came in on the 23rd of march are

going to be with it's too early to tell yet when we need we need people to carry on following those instructions so that we can work out 3 weeks later what actually happens in hospitals. and it's still not known when the peak of coronavirus will be in the u.k. we're italians how does their. life that a london al-jazeera is but he is with us that what's the latest on the prime minister's condition well adrian we now know officially the prime minister is isn't in intensive care as we we're hearing that. there is a ventilator available for him but according to officials. didn't use it or at least know that he has used it yet although he was reportedly young given oxygen some time before he was moved into intensive care now the fact is almost 2 thirds

of people in england wales and northern ireland who do go into intensive care do need a ventilator within the 1st 24 hours i think many people watching the events of the last 24 hours would have questioned statements coming out from or as children himself and from dominic rather foreign secretary on monday saying that he was in good spirits going to continuing to lead the efforts against coronavirus and receiving regular updates because the fact that he was admitted to hospital on sunday even it really did suggest to people who seen him on friday looking very ill in a video statement when he was supposed to come out of isolation it suggested to people that he was not not well told and that it was so serious that in fact he did he was taken to hospital even though it crashed it took attention away from that address to the nation by queen elizabeth at the daily briefing on monday the

chief medical officer for england was actually asked directly if evil the prime minister had pneumonia and he really didn't want to answer that question have a listen. the majority the clear majority people who do end up i'm going to ospital all the way they end up into a general bed they may only not need oxygen and other things and they don't need to go further than that but that is absolutely not a comment on his personal situation which would be completely inappropriate for me to comment on it's just a general comment on how things tend to progress in hospital so with the prime minister incapacitated where does that leave the ukase covert 19 response it's hard to say because we don't know how ill or is johnson really is but we know that he has also been a rock to deputize for him when necessary don't think rock is expected to now share cabinet meetings in fact he did so on monday morning and those cobra

emergency meetings he's promised to draw on forward the try and implemented or come up by boris johnson to find out cut it 90 and part of that involves these restrictive measures don't rob was asked when they might be lifted he says it's far too soon to move to the next stage and if we do so we should focus rather than making people stick to those social distancing going to lines then in his words we might not get through the peak as fast as we need to those are sentiments echoed by the scientific advisors on monday saying that we're only just beginning to see the impacts of this so who look to and so it's too early to give the public some idea of an exit strategy that will also involve many more tests be carried out the number on sunday was 16000 dominate rob as promised a daily figure of 100005 the end of this month so it just shows what

a challenge lies and. al-jazeera is not reporting live there from home and london the game many thanks indeed. talked to an aspirant as an emergency and critical care physician she's also a professor of health science and policy fansite i hospital she says that moving bars johnson sentence of cat was a sensible of it's a very worrying sign that he has been moved into critical kid but at the same time at this stage of the disease at a 1011 and. it's encouraging that he's not on a ventilator already because we would really expect to see you at this stage if he was in. the other the other you know i would say that is great and not impossible that he has a secondary infection which we think quite probably environment is in fact that was almost certainly responsible for you know how to do this in spanish influenza and so it could easily be a secondary bacterial as far as we know it is no co-morbidities. he's

just being what we might end up junkie which we know that that is not necessarily a great factor and but a problem that he's not 60 which it's also very protective he is however a male and we do know that you know mel's did have was outcomes for reasons that we don't entirely understand but as you say he doesn't quite fit the profile and i think that's reason to be encouraged and the fact that he's not being pledged to it and that is that here very smartly to militant if you consider. that there is a risk that he may need it because the last thing you want to do is have to do that and to cresco you want to be up to do that in a controlled setting where you can injure beijing or ventilate him. in a controlled manner and certainly he may not even come to that he could go on as just a continuation of them who. it's true this high court has overturned a c.v. a catholic koppel's conviction for child sex abuse couple george pell will now be

freed from jail he was convicted in 2018 of abusing to cooperate in the 19 $190.00 s. powell was once treasurer of the vatican he was the most severe catholic official to be convicted of child sex abuse let's go live now to sydney to 0 as the clock gauge is there were reasons that led to the court give for overturning couple pelz conviction. for one year since a jury found cardinal george pell guilty and one year since he was placed in jail he will be walking free 7 justices of a strictly as highest court ruled that tells child sex abuse convictions should be quashed and that he should be immediately released from victoria's barwon prison now because of coronavirus social distancing measures there was only a handful of people in court to hear this ruling it was posted online afterwards and the reasoning the court to gave was that the jury as well as the victorian

court of appeal should have given more weight to the alibi evidence of witnesses who said that there wouldn't have been enough time for george pell abuse these 2 choir boys that he would have been other people with other people at the time that the prosecution alleges that these offenses took place and that should have planted a seed of reasonable doubt in the jury in the victorian court of appeal as to whether george pell was guilty or not now since this ruling has come down cardinal george pell has released a statement he said that he didn't want his case to be seen as a referendum on the church but also that he doesn't want his acquittal to cause any more hurt or business to anyone that's been following this case obviously it has been an extraordinary 5 years. george pell was accused of sexually abusing these 2 choir boys he's had many supporters over the years many who will be very happy with

these outcome but for the victims and survivors of sexual abuse they are devastated believing that he is still guilty and that judge justice hasn't been served here or there is no clear gauge reporting live from sydney nicholas many thanks indeed. back now to the corona virus pandemic here's a look at how the virus is spreading around the world right now according to the johns hopkins university tracker there are more than 1300000 confirmed cases more than 270000 people have recovered from the virus and they've been over 74000 virus related deaths the majority of those in europe will france is one of those european nations with a rapidly growing number of dead the country recorded its highest number of virus related deaths in a single day taking the total number to almost $9000.00 but there are signs in other parts of the continent but the mortality rate is beginning to slow as paul

brennan reports. 2 europe passed another significant number on monday as the continent's death toll from corona virus exceeded 50000 people that's the vast majority of the 70000 who died globally so far but while the infection is still on an upward curve in some european countries in others there are signs that the contagion is starting to stabilize austria hopes to allow small shops and garden centers to reopen on april the 14th with restrictions potentially lifted on larger shops and hairdressers on may the 1st. but speaking from behind a protective per spec screen the austrian chancellor warned that everything depends on the infection rate the also double could be done in 2 weeks of a star will be a thought in week for us and it will be a week which will decide whether the resurrection of the 8th which we are all hoping for can actually happen as planned. the spanish government is also studying how to gradually ease the lock down it's imposed since march 14th movement

restrictions have left poor and vulnerable residents relying on charitable groups like this one in seville to bring them food parcels. but on monday spain's or 4th consecutive days drop in the number of new deaths and the number of new infections rising just 3.3 percent offers some cause for hope relaxing the restrictions. can't come soon enough for those living beside lake constance the barbed wire which once separated the german town of constance and its swiss neighbor croxley and was torn down after world war 2 and residents mingled freely ever since now a new fence has created a coronavirus no man's land separating friends relatives and lovers pierre and his german girlfriend is very. good if we've been speaking to each other on face time in recent weeks and that's ok for a while but after 2 or 3 weeks you realize that that's not good enough we needed to see each other and hear each of this voice like there was no the way but to meet here at this fades in it's elise long body region despite reductions in both

infection and death rates or forty's of actually tightened restrictions and residents now have to cover their mouth or nose whenever they go outside it's an order intended to prevent complacency but a shortage of face masks is creating a problem in the future although no we cannot find protective mass haven't found them so i made one myself authorities say mass will be available in 3 days but they've been saying that for a month restrictive measures are having an impact on the spread of the virus and collective discipline and a sense of civic duty are helping to save lives and canberra hand. and more people like this woman leaving intensive care are surviving but there are many thousands who will not make it to this stage of recovery and the avoiding infection in the 1st place still remains the safest strategy. paul brennan al-jazeera. a weather update next here on out 0 then just don't be an apocalyptic

a straight is high court and now that all 5 counts of been quashed fell will walk free after spending one year behind bars gideon bus is a barrister and professor of law at la trobe university in melbourne he joins us now live via skype good to have you with us gideon what do you make of the court's decision. well it's it's one of the most significant legal decisions in a criminal countess in this country. it will be viewed in 2 very different why is it will be viewed by some has been saying that expression of the value of homes the criminal justice system in its ability to deal with. verdicts which constitute a miscarriage of justice it will be viewed by others as a terrible tragedy as an indictment of the criminal justice system and they will pay some assessment i think of the role of appellate courts in the

process of assessing fact which is generally a realm of the jury and there is a royal commission. report wasn't there also the results of which have not yet been released who will will the results of that now be released yes well one of the interesting aspects of the pell trial and the appeals is that it's. occasion the suppression of information and material of vast allegations concerning allegations against helen others in the catholic church some of which is the subject of evidence given us a royal commission ins into institutional child sex abuse in this country those findings concerning peloponnese press today it's presumed that now the us he's in pella process is not it's kohls that his findings will be relays be very interesting to see what's contained in them so in law couple pelle is is not guilty
