butin not. russia all knowledge is he was. britain's prime minister bars johnson is moved into intensive care after his coronavirus symptoms worsen. i'm kemal son to maria and this is the world news from al-jazeera a grim milestone for europe over $50000.00 coronavirus linked deaths now but there is a response for the worst hit countries vote despite the pandemic the supreme court in the u.s. rules the wisconsin primary will go ahead rejecting the government's order to

postpone it and in other news the strain is highest court overturns a former vatican treasures conviction for sexual assault. we start with news out of london where britain's prime minister has been moved to an intensive care unit with worsening covered 900 symptoms johnson was admitted to hospital on sunday night after being ill for more than 10 days the foreign secretary dominic robb has been asked to deputize as reporters from chalons. the news came after a day of scant information and repeated lines the prime minister's hospital stay was just a precaution said downing street boris johnson himself tweeted i went into hospital for some routine tests as i'm still experiencing coronavirus symptoms i mean good spirits and keeping in touch with my team as we work together to fight this virus

and keep everyone safe but the reality was his condition was worsening later on monday doctors moved him to the intensive care unit that's in thomas' hospital in london during the course of this hour 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 as 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 care 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 macron 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. that. we still have to do. it is if it's between getting out and i hang then also and unless my thesis contests the u.k.'s patient deaths rose by $439.00 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 deaths 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 all of these stages of infection in order to be

able to tell what the impact of the measures that came in on the 23rd of march are going to be we 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'll reach alan's down to 0. more from that in about an hour in london and the days on johnson's condition. we now know officially the prime minister isn't in intensive care as we were hearing that. there is a ventilator available for him but according to officials he didn't use it or at least or we don't know that he has used it yet he was reportedly yet given oxygen some time before he was moved into intensive care and 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 johnson himself and from dominic rob the 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 evening really does suggest to people who've 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 some thoughts now from dr anna

sparrow who's an emergency and critical care physician also a professor of health science and policy at mount sinai hospital says moving bar stones into intensive care was sensible if they were inside that he's been living there critical care back to the same time at this stage of the disease day 1011 and. it's encouraging that he's not on a ventilator already because we would really expect to see at this stage if he was in. the other the other thing i would say that is great and not impossible that he has a 2nd green section which we think quite probably environment is in fact that was almost certainly responsible for you have 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 tell of 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 male and we do know that in america'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 judged yet and that is that you're 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 as a crèche goal you want to be able to do that in a controlled setting where you can injure beijing or ventilate him in a controlled manner and certainly he may know in congress that he could go on as just a continuation example. well look at some developing news out of a strait of this is known coronavirus related to the high court there has overturned a senior catholic cardinals conviction for child sex abuse this is cardinal george pell who has just been freed from jail he was convicted in 2018 of abusing 2 choir

boys in the 1990 s. pill was actually once the treasurer of the vatican he was the most senior catholic official to be convicted of child sex abuse like the gauge following this one from sydney for us what reasons have the court actually given make a. full one year since he was jailed for these sex offenses cardinal george pell is now a free man shortly after a struggle is highest court quashed his child sex abuse offenses he has left victoria's barwon prison now because of coronavirus social distancing measures there were too many people in court or told to hear this ruling the court did post it online afterwards in the raising it gave was that the jury and victoria's court of appeal should have entertained doubt that these child sex abuse is against to form a choir boys ever took place in the 1st place they say that that's because there

wasn't enough white placed on alibi evidence those witnesses who say this there wasn't enough time for these abuses to happen in the short window of opportunity that the prosecution alleged the offenses took place in and that should have planted a seed of doubt in the jury and victorian court of appeal out as to whether he was in fact guilty or knowledge and since this ruling has been handed down and george pell has been released from prison he has put out a statement saying that he doesn't want his case to be a referendum on the church but he does 8 hope that he's acquittal does not cause any extra hurt. all business to any abuse victims across the world many supporters have been coming out very happy with this decision of course george pell is still a cardinal there are many questions about what this will may next will we see him back at the vatican will he have to go through some kind of course internal trial

process there are further allegations against him at this stage but at the same time this ruling has been devastating for many sexual abuse victims across the world who still believe that he's guilty. make of the gauge with that update on cardinal george pell from sydney thank you nic we want to just have a look back now at the life of this 78 year old cardinal george pell ordained back in 1966 and made a cardinal of the catholic church in 2003 promoted by pope francis in 2014 to bask in treasure it was in 2017 though that he was actually charged with the child sex abuse of 213 year old boys acts that were alleged to have taken place when paul was the archbishop of melbourne in the late 1990 s. his 1st trial ended in a hung jury but he was convicted in

a 2nd trial in 2018 is always the appeals to a straight as high court that all 5 counts have now been quashed hell will walk free after just a year behind bars will get him both as a barrister professor of law at la trobe university in melbourne new told us he expects there will be a machinable assessment of appellate courts after this ruling. it's one of the most significant legal decisions in a criminal case in this country. it will be viewed in 2 very different wise will be viewed by some as being an expression of the value importance of 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. in the news ahead we return to corona virus apocalyptic i'm seeing people dying every day

and there are warnings that new york's hospital system is it breaking points so there is some hope. you'll find out why venezuelans are making the long walk home from colombia with no food and little guarantee of safety at their journeys and. i know that temperatures have been on the rise of the last few days across central areas of the united states has been quite a few as a class some showers and thunderstorms pretty good conditions on the last few hours across much of the east not so across much of california still the rains in the forecast and still the snow to the mountains a look at this these big storm clouds just looming over los angeles there's more in the forecast st choose day it's not quite as heavy but beginning to push in again

into that far southwest portion we have got a little system just sitting offshore and in fact by the time go to wednesday this is when it look at nearer to land and really pull in a lot of moisture against snow to the mountains and very heavy amounts of rain further to the south in fact how much is about 5 degrees below average and i just 17 celsius on wednesday showers maybe scott a thunderstorm back in the forecast across the sea southeast and also wanted to shout just pushing it towards the midwest. it is a very warm few days and then it's quite a dramatic drop we've got 32 on wednesday down to 21 on thursday and that 32 is about 10 degrees above the average when it gets to a little bit below the average and then in the caribbean we've got most of his guys we've got one or 2 shows just popping up across northern sections the bahamas and then by wednesday wanted to showers across his pond owner and on tools puerto rico . perception is validation we believe what he sees but in one lifetime

we cannot see everything that we would lie and experiences of others and the legacies of previous generations. of that testimony we but you know very little. witness documentaries that open your eyes on al-jazeera. the headlines this hour on al-jazeera the british prime minister has been moved to an intensive care unit after his covert 19 symptoms worse and johnson was admitted

to a london hospital on sunday more than 10 days after he tested positive for the virus the u.k. foreign secretary meanwhile has been asked to deputize where necessary for mr johnson dominic rob said the prime minister is in safe hands and has been receiving excellent care and in other news a strain is high court has overturned a senior catholic cardinals conviction for child sex abuse cardinal george pell has now left jail he was convicted in 2018 of abusing 2 choir boys in the 1990 s. . so let's return to the coronavirus pandemic and a look at how the virus. has spread around the world we use the virus tracker from johns hopkins which gives us a good snapshot of any one time more than 1300000 confirmed cases of which over 270000 now recovered from the virus but of course that may number in white there is 74 and a half 1000 deaths the majority of those in europe france of course one of those

countries 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 at least in other parts of the continent that the mortality rate is beginning to slow this report from paul brennan was 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 die 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 14th with restrictions put. tension 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 allstar walker we're down in the wake of a star will be a deciding wait for us and it will be

a week which will decide whether the resurrection after 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 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 critz land 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 it is very well thought. out 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 need to see each other and hear each of this force 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 the secret of a no we cannot find protected mass i haven't found them so i made one myself and 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 camp there. 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. told brennan al-jazeera and also a french company says it's developed a coronavirus test which provides a result in 15 minutes diagnostics firm says all that's required is a single drop of blood in order to determine whether someone is infected it wants to make $6000000.00 tests this year and has already received an order from the french army. the number of corona virus linked deaths in the us is a boss 10000. and one of the country's hot spots there's been some encouraging signs for his in new york said the number of deaths has been dropping despite that their hospitals are a still overwhelmed and several of his own that are reports. the stress is evident to working on the front line of the corona virus outbreak in america on monday nurses outside a hospital in new york protesting the lack of face masks downs and other personal

but right now we're going to try to just about anything to say patients other forms of help arriving military doctors treat coronavirus patients and new york city's largest convention center it's been transformed into a 2500 bed militarize hospital originally the javits convention center here behind me was supposed to be open only for non coronavirus patients but is a crisis deepened in new york city health officials said they needed more help and now this convention center is open exclusively only to help those that are infected with coping 19. but the curve might be flattening there is no sign this will be over any time soon on monday the governor extended this state wide shut down until at least the individual sandow does either your. voting in wisconsin's presidential primary will go ahead later on tuesday after the
