far worse than reported. u.-turn from the indian government after the us president calls for more exports of a drug being tested to cope with. all of the most high profile coronavirus patients yet british prime minister forrest johnson is in intensive care after his symptoms worsened following a night in a hospital ward johnson was moved as a precaution in case he needs a ventilator with the prime minister out of action foreign secretary dominic robb is stepping in to lead the government for a challenge reports. 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's hospital in london during the course of this afternoon the promises 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 breaks it negotiate a michel barnier i'm 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 and i hang them also i'm a mess a my thesis contest 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 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 on all of these 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 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. let's bring in rory chan's now he joins us live from london so any word on how he's doing in intensive care and why he might come out. since i sent that report in late last night it does not seem that it's boris johnson's condition has deteriorated significantly any further michael gove the cabinet secretary has been speaking to the british media this morning on the dating

us on on what's happened overnight he says that the prime minister has received oxygen support bots that he hasn't been put on a ventilator or or intubated and that as far as he knows or a strengths and has not had any new motion the diagnosis it's being reported in the british media the assumption got about 4 liters of oxygen. the usual threshold for covert 19 patients in i.c.u. intensive care units in the u.k. is about 50 liters so that puts him perhaps. certainly in the in the better health part of the intensive care spectrum for over 19 patients even though dissolves see a very serious situation that the prime minister is in it's a it's a big shock i think for his friends and family a big shock for the country and i think it's

a big shock for 'd boris johnson themself his friends have been speaking on the british media this morning basically saying the sea is usually a man who's in robust health who doesn't. take illness particularly seriously that he battles on through the hardest of colds and something like this where he's suddenly put in a very serious condition and forced to be hospitalized will come as a big shock to the prime minister himself. no rory the sort about the country and how it's being run now to what extent does dominant rob take over decision making. well the british system with the prime minister and a cabinet is is obviously very different from the american system where you have a president and a vice president so there isn't a kind of automatic deputizing system built into the constitutional makeup of the

u.k. it's a bit more ad hoc than that and that's what we're finding at the moments where what we're being told is the yes or a certain is still prime minister of the country but that dominic rob is deputizing where necessary i mean obviously now that he's in intensive care and is much less able to carry out his prime ministerial g.t.s. than he was before when he was a bit a bit more healthy still with coronavirus still in the in his isolation don't rob will be doing some of those toss that most of that will be administrative but there is one decision that is coming down the road in about a week's time and that's whether on this review of all of the rest districts of measures that the country is living under whether those carry on or whether those get lifted or good stuff there thanks so much rory chalons japan's prime

minister shinzo are declared a state of emergency after a surge of infections in major cities said the last one month more than 100 people have died and have been more than 4 and a half 1000 confirmed cases. mcbride has been following the story joins us now on skype from seoul in south korea so to what extent does the country now shut down. well certainly it. is going to affect the. effect is in a city state of emergency has been declared it is in the capital tokyo the 2nd city osaka and also 5 other prefectures where a number of the governors had been calling for these measures to be airports in place what it does it empowers these governors to take special measures if they feel faint that they need to in order to tackle the spiraling numbers of new infections for example they can request that people stay indoors it is still only

a crest they it's is meant to be a fallen tree response from the public and it's unclear as to whether they are authorities actually have any penalties they can impose so it is all a question must go he's a suspect took. these badges. and things like stop the public gatherings if they feel fit also more importantly perhaps if it continues to deteriorate then they could direct position buildings and plans to create emergency hospitals also representation things like much needed medicine and food so these measures are likely to be introduced from tomorrow wednesday that being widely anticipated that they will be introduced because there is a a feeling in japan that they have many people simply haven't taken this seriously enough a lot of the cities are still operating it has to be said that a lot of businesses are quieter than usual

a lot of businesses are struggling but people still go around they use public transport and there is a feeling as though in japan so far seems to have gotten lucky to some degree it hasn't suffered a massive outbreak says its neighbor south korea and china but there is a feeling that it's only a matter of time before you do get a big spike and we have been seeing gradually these numbers going up 140 new cases on sunday and more than 200 cases on monday and so on and there's a feeling that unless something is done now then japan could have a very real problem on its hands all right thanks so much from ryan. a member of iran's krone virus taskforce has been quoted as saying the number of infections is more than 8 times higher than reported the country is set to relax his lockdown measures from saturday let's bring in zain bus ravi on skype from their hand so zain here we go 8 times more how does that square with the numbers the government

has been putting out not to mention the plans to return a lot of people to work on saturday. that's exactly right this is this is certainly a much larger number than we've heard from any sort of official sources at any given point in time we should say that mr hamad siri is not necessarily a senior figure or necessarily a well known public figure in terms of the official lines that we've seen coming out of the health ministry with regards to the government's attempt to fight the coronavirus but he is an epidemiologist on president hassan rouhani task force him speaking so openly to the media is certainly a signal especially to the government media is a signal about the conversations perhaps that are going on in the background behind closed doors we've seen in this interview to r. and a a government news agency mr saree said that the rise is still happening that the peak has not been achieved in any provinces across the country that the curve has

not been flat and he also said the normalizing the conditions something that's coming up in a few days that could be a bad idea and could lead to more mass infections to the infection rate and to the death rate going up he criticized the government's response saying that the government response was both late and slow to dealing with the spread of this outbreak he did concede that perhaps the political machinery the government's concerns political security economic are not in line with the concerns of the health minister he conceded that there were cost benefit analysis the going on in terms of how to deal with the spread of the coronavirus but it seems that the 'd normalising that present hasan rowhani spoke about on sunday will go forward members of parliament did today during a session try to float a bill to suggest that lockdowns of cities continue and be expanded that bill was defeated and the health minister came out this morning and said that the government bodies are on the same page with regards to to dealing with the virus however mr

suri added that if it goes forward if things are normalized and if the coronavirus is allowed to continue to spread unchecked there could be mass infection 60 percent of the population could be infected and he said that worst case scenario projects and projections suggest that the death toll could be as high as 400000. the government had banned anyone from trying to put the alternative figure is how is it reacting now so this statement coming from an official right this guy is an official that's exactly correct he is not necessarily a major official he's an expert in the d.b. ologist with the health ministry and he's not the 1st health expert to suggest that the conditions that the ground reality were far worse than perhaps the government was suggesting just a few days ago we saw that the health minister under former president mahmoud ahmadinejad actually came out in a letter to president hassan rouhani saying that the cost of downplaying that

they of making sure that the country's economy didn't suffer could blow a far greater economic blow to the country in the long term so there has been this disagreement between search and certain branches of government since the outbreak began but it seems in the cost benefit analysis that the government is doing they simply can't continue to drain their economy while dealing with this health crisis all right we'll leave it there thanks so much. still ahead on al-jazeera tell you why some venezuelans are making the long walk home from colombia. of a strain is highest court overturned conviction against the vatican christ. the am.

a free man shortly after the high court made this ruling he left victoria's barwon prison now because of coronavirus social distancing measures there were only a handful of people in the court to hear this ruling it was posted online afterwards and the judgement was really based around the fact that the high court believed that the jury and the victorian court of appeal should have entertained doubt as to whether these offenses could have ever happened at all really it was in the late ninety's that these offenses were alleged to have taken place and the court said that there was not enough weight placed around. other alibi witnesses and people who said that there wasn't enough time for george pell to have in fact committed these offenses in the timeframe that the prosecution said that

they had happened so now in the eyes of the law george pell is not guilty india is to partially lift a ban on exports of an anti malaria drug that's being tested as a possible treatment for covert 19 patients but after the us president said india could face consequences unless it starts releasing its supply of hydroxide chloro queen dog trump has praised the drug as a game changer scientists are warning there's not enough evidence it can be used to treat coronavirus. are you worried about our retaliation to your decision to ban export of medical goods like indian prime minister modise decision to not export hydra across the core point to the united states other countries i don't like that decision if that's i don't i didn't hear that that was his decision i know that he stopped it for other countries i spoke to him yesterday very very good talk and we'll see whether or not that's just i would be surprised if he would you

know because india does very well with the united states for many years they've been. taken advantage of the united states on trade so i would be surprise of that worst decision he'd have to tell me that i spoke to him sunday morning called him and i said we appreciate your allowing our supply to come out if he doesn't allow it to come out that would be ok but of course there may be retaliation why wouldn't that be one of the parana is in new delhi and has more on the indian government's decision. they reached this decision after the 1st banning you know adding hydroxy quinn to its list of bad exports on march 25th and then reconfirming that bad on on april the 4th just a few days ago we had the government the ministry of external affairs say just a few hours ago that after assessing and confirming that availability of a number of pharmaceuticals for the indian market that they have decided to. release exports that they are going to continue supplying hydroxy clark when they

said to neighboring countries which rely on india for supply and also to some countries that have been badly affected by coronavirus no mention of the united states in their statement to of course this follows that phone call from president trump to prime minister marty on sunday are asking him to make an exception for the united states and that and saying that india might face retaliatory measures if it doesn't do so india is the world's one of the world's biggest suppliers of not just generic generic drugs but it has some of the biggest supplies of the finnish hydroxy talk when the and t. malaria drugs malaria is a big problem in india and india's health care workers have also been a lot of them you know asymptomatic treating coronavirus patients except or have been advised to have been advised to use it. the philippines has extended a lockdown of its main island until the end of the month quarantine measures on
