long lines and traffic jams in china as thousands are allowed to leave the city for the 1st time in months. hello again i'm the star and this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up. they . call the. president on trump's latest target is the wealth health organization as criticism mounts over his response to the coronavirus pandemic. britain's prime minister spends a 2nd night in intensive care he said to be in a stable condition. and infections on the rise in rwanda despite a total lockdown being ordered nearly 3 weeks ago.

now nearly 3 months it was sealed off from the wild has now opened its doors again tens of thousands of people have been allowed to leave the city at the epicenter of the corona virus outbreak but it remains under close watch with tight health restrictions in place to avoid a 2nd wave of infections sarah clarke begins our coverage. packed and ready for departure tens of thousands of people from the city of woo han are on the move after 76 days holed up in their homes when i wasn't here when i planned to go home during the chinese new year but because of the epidemic i didn't get to do so my family asks me every day when i come home the lockdown has been gradually lifted over the last 10 days with inbound travel allowed but no departures on wednesday

all major highways were reopened so too was the city's airport at least 55000 people trying to kits to travel to other parts of china. i haven't been out since january 21st this is the 1st time i've left the house now i'm going back home to meet my parents checkpoints remain but for health scans those passengers carrying a green coat on a government health are considered low risk and can travel. we will have a follow up this infection of passengers at the entrance and exit on the railway station with the temperature screening and the health code checking we are very strict 11000000 people live in the city known as a key industrial hub of china in december hospitals in we're had reported the 1st cases of the coronavirus with an increasing number of patients complaining of flu like symptoms in january the city was put in lockdown after it became clear that the flu like virus was highly contagious and potentially deadly residents were

trapped so too will workers on the eve of the chinese new year holiday break including player who he works and lives in beijing but my out of france colleagues who were actually found one day cancelled a plane ticket last minute but i didn't because i. chose you can't. fall down so i felt like. you know you really lucked out where everyone who hand accounts for more than 3 quarters of coronavirus deaths in china or thora teaser warning of a 2nd wave of potential infections as lock downs a lifted across the country and people return to work today so we peeled the residents of our city not to leave for non-essential travel and continue to leave home as little as possible the recovery of we hand has been watched worldwide while

the city attempts to return to normal the trauma could last for decades sarah clarke al-jazeera. or katrina you has more from beijing now on how that app regulates just who comes and goes in and out of wood. if you live in one or the y. duhoux a province you must unload a mobile app and you must input all your details or your national id number your address your contact details and what that does it uses china's big data surveillance system to really check your whereabouts in comparison to a nerd cove in 1000 persons location and depending on that proximity you give you a card with 3 different colors a red code if you're high risk a yellow code if you're a medium risk and green if you're at low risk or you're healthy and in you can travel so let me give you an idea of what that looks like so that's the out there and that's the cue wild card that screen that's been generated there that makes makes it possible for you not only to travel within rouhani but leave the city so

all those people the 10s of thousands of people who have been leaving the city today they would have had to show that at the train stations at airports and indeed even if you go around the city for example you catch a taxi or you go into a restaurant you must present that code and at the restaurant or the taxi driver will then scan that and absorb all your details and what that does is makes sure that for example of next week if you're found to have covert 19 there they can track your whereabouts and authorities can identify exactly who you came into contact with and pull them aside perhaps for testing or quarantine period so definitely it's high tech used to fight this epidemic but people are raising concerns especially rights groups that the chinese government is using this epidemic to overreach and really extend their control now u.s. president donald trump has accused the world health organization of but ching its response to the pandemic he also called the agency china centric and has threatened

to cut funding w.h.o. has responded by saying the acute phase of a pandemic is not the right time to suggest funding cuts the u.s. has recorded nearly 2000 deaths in the past 24 hours alone mike hanna reports from washington d.c. . after a series of critical tweets during the day president trump launched a verbal attack on the w.h.o. in the daily coronavirus briefing the president seemed particularly angered by the w h o's recommendation and early february that international air travel should continue this just days after he had imposed a ban on flights from china he also appeared to echo allegations that the organization rely too heavily on information from china during the initial phase of the outbreak. they called it wrong to call it. a really a mistake or they could have called it months or earlier they would have known. they should have known and they probably didn't so we'll be looking into that very

carefully and we're going to put a hold on money spent to the w h o we're going to put a very powerful hold on it and we're going to see it's a great thing if it works but when they call every wrong it's no good the ban on flights from china was one of the recommendations of president's economic advisor made in a memorandum sent to the national security council at the end of february peter navarro also warned that as many as $600000.00 americans could lose their lives navarro sent a 2nd memorandum a month later and this time he included the president on the distribution list he said that between 2 and 3000000 americans could die he also specified the medical supplies the government would need to opting to prepare this included a 1000000000 facemasks 11000 ventilators and 25000

respirators memorandum was largely ignored. president trump denies he ever sold the documents yes sir mr dooley this is the but there is a president in just this president this today saying he learned about the family today just heard about it maybe a day going to use your feelings on your staff or your very own self should have told you that in the earlier was a recommendation was a feeling that he had i think he told certain people in this but it didn't matter i didn't see it the president told reporters the contents of the documents would not have changed the way he has acted and then left the briefing after saying he would greet them later my kind of al-jazeera washington now britain's prime minister has spent a 2nd night in intensive care boris johnson was given supplementary oxygen but is not on a ventilator let's speak now to worry chalons he joins us live from london outside

the hospital where barr is johnson is currently being treated rory 3 nights in the hospital a 2nd night in intensive care do we know any more about how he's doing. very little actually because the government statements from the statements coming from downing street except since yesterday morning have been pretty much identical so i think we're definitely in in stock record territory they are pretty scamps these details that he's in good spirits that he's being given oxygen he's not on a ventilator he doesn't have pneumonia exception so i think what we can surmise from this if it is accurate doesn't seem to be getting any worse but at the same time there is no indication that it's getting much better so and very while he's in hospital the foreign secretaries in charge there what does all of this mean for the government especially with big decisions like whether or not to extend the lock

down or looming. yeah these matters that are being discussed quite a lot at the moment constitutionally what's powers does dominic robb who is essentially acting for boris johnson really have the u.k. doesn't have an established process of chain of command like say the united states does so things are more ad hoc it and i think the longer this goes on the longer that boris johnson is in the hospital the more these questions are going to be awesome because at the moment it seems that the ortho or at sea that dominic robb has is being intentionally limits and he can hire and fire ministers the big decisions are going to be taken on a cabinet level rather than by him in some sort of orthe or it's to have rolled and you're right that the the decision on whether to extend the that the period of

lockdown these restrictive measures that the u.k. is under at the moment are g. to be taken i think by april the 16th there is a piece of legislation that was parched when the measures were brought in that said that that these would be done on a 3 week basis in every 3 weeks of the 21 days they would have to be a review and that 1st one is coming up quite soon so yeah we will need to see i think what what happens when we get to that point the indication from the government mrs speaking this morning was that they might have shelved that but that they can't really do that under the legislation so there are questions and they don't all have our. challenge there across all those developments for us in london thank you very well now spain has announced more than 750 people have died just in the past 24 hours with new infections also on the rise there the number of fatalities has been increasing again in recent days spain is one of the west

affected countries in the wild with more than 146000 confirmed cases. and now french military aircraft carrier has been instructed to return to ports after sailors on board started showing symptoms of coronavirus nearly 40 people on board the shall go or have now been placed on that medical observation a screening team with testing facilities has also been sent to the ship to try to prevent a fad the spread of the virus. still ahead on al-jazeera. we look at the internally displaced people in syria who are creating much needed jobs by making me think about. how i once again welcome to another look at the international forecast we have some dry weather coming into japan over the next couple of days laci dry too of course

and i again i am the stars here today and are mind of our top stories this hour. the chinese city where this outbreak began has opened its doors after nearly 3 months on the lockdown it's 11000000 residents are now able to leave but they still need an app that tracks their health and movement. present donald trump has accused the world health organization of being china's centric and just threaten to cut funding at a very chinese responded by saying the acute phase of a pandemic is not the right time to suggest body counts. and more than 750 people have died in the span of the last 24 hours but new infections are also on the rise spain as one of the worst affected countries and the number of face allergies has been increasing again in recent days. like many other nations in africa

rwanda is struggling to do enough daily tests to try to counter the pandemic the number of infections are also rising despite the government ordering a total lockdown almost 3 weeks ago catherine sawyer reports. rhonda's government hands the camino coronavirus reception to gianna lists for the 1st time it's a rare move on the outskirts of the capital kigali to publicize and reassure 12000000 london citizens that all is under control and to show the world how the country is dealing with a pandemic stage of trying to size the out pretty in the country of course we have our 1st this is already in country since the 14th of march 88 percent imported to says means there are few cases that. call from mumbai caught up with. with those imported cases several patients are being more needed at this center for around 80 people and at

a 2nd specialist hospital to health workers say none of the secret quiet intensive care but there are enough ventilators for those who may fall seriously ill run to has about 46 ventilators set aside for called it 1000 patients many african countries are struggling to keep up past health officials here say they can test up to 700 people a day. if we detect suspected cases we'll test them on a little test them every 3 days if they get sick we'll bring them to the center the government ordered a total shutdown in late march when the infection rate increased all buddhas and space have been closed to stop the disease being imported and it's all hands on deck at this medical center as volunteers and government workers keep track of those quarantined in government facilities and at home we follow them up on a daily basis to see if they have any symptoms if they. developed any we refer them

and connect them to a reputable sponsor team for evacuation and taking them to different facilities for the follow. their margins to response by their government has been swift and robust health workers say they're confident that they have the capacity to contain the disease but they're also concerned that eve neighboring countries failed to stem the spread and called it 1000 will be hard to deal with because of the high number of illegal border crossings catherine soy al-jazeera. ethiopia's prime minister ahmed has declared a state of emergency to help curb the spread of the virus there experts are worried that an outbreak could be hard to contain in a country where the health care system is already under a strain if european has reported around 50 cases of corona virus so far at least 2 deaths well let's now speak to malcolm webber who is in nairobi for us now kim i see there are currently just 55 cases i believe in ethiopia i mean given that this is such

a transport hub an ethiopian airlines continued flying to china for some time is it assumed that the real number of cases that the much higher. they just announced 3 more a short while ago bringing it up to that number 65 cases but they're testing capacity isn't strong like most countries in in sub-saharan africa so we don't know what the scale of on known cases is like and that will only become clear in the weeks and months ahead it is when we see a surge of people with respiratory illnesses and with pneumonia turning up opinion and hospitals at this stage it's not entirely clear but indeed it is a transport hub as you say and that's why the w.h.o. the world health organization came in fairly quickly to ethiopia back in february to train people in testing for coded 19 for the coronavirus so they do have testing capacity in each state it's a vast country it's one of the most populous countries in africa the testing is one

thing of course to get it right the health care for people who are sick is another and in terms of intensive care beds there are very few most of the hospitals in the country or in the capital addis ababa which is the city but 8000000 people many live in fairly cramped conditions but you know in terms of intensive care beds in terms of ventilators the ratio of those 2 population is tiny compared to what you have in spain italy germany the u.s. and other countries that are being whose health care services have been crippled by the chronic virus outbreak at the moment and malcolm various other countries including a number of african nations have already been accused of heavy handed police thing when it comes to imposing coronavirus restrictions and now we're looking at a stage where imagine see that what's that likely to look like on the ground. we don't know yet some states within ethiopia had already issued some fairly heavy restrictions curfews and so on but the declaration of a state of emergency by the central government hasn't yet been followed by any kind

of decree all additional set of rules so we're waiting to see what new or how the government will use the new powers that it's given itself ethiopia's constitution does allow the government to declare a state of emergency a pandemic of waiting in the g.o.p. and the way to see what kind of rules of restrictions no use the new powers to implement limited time restrictions certainly from the central government on to stringent to some of those that we see in for example rwanda and uganda and some other countries in the region but this may change in the days and weeks ahead malcolm web there across all of those developments in ethiopia from nairobi for us thank you malcolm on that india's 21 day lockdown is due to end next week but a number of state leaders are calling for it to be extended prime minister narendra modi has urged the population of 1300000000 people to stay at home since late last month the decision left millions without work and forced many to their home

villages in search of food and shelter the country has around $5300.00 cases of infection and now at least $160.00 deaths well incidents of domestic violence have risen during covert $1000.00 lockdowns and the united nations is demanding that governments do more to prosecute offenders antonio terraces warned of a horrifying global surge as the number of women calling on faith to services has doubled in india the national commission for women says hundreds of women have reached out for help since tight restrictions were imposed their computer krishnan is an activist from the all india progressive women's association she says the country lacks systems to adequately monitor report incidents of domestic violence. i think that the number of cases must be much higher than what the national commission of women is talking about because india does not have any national hotline or any state level hotline for domestic violence survivors so this is

a very bad situation on the and there's also other things combined in the situation which is in india in general even then there is no lock down the tendency for the police and the you know government authorities to take domestic violence very likely or to make excuses but it ought to ask the woman complainant to go back to the house of the abuser and not expect any help is extremely common and now clearly it is more common the bendemeer because for gasoline on our existing problems india in general has very poor domestic violence. help so we do have a law against domestic violence and that are supposed to be despondence to help women who are in trouble but we have very few if you have no shelters for the state run shelters tend to be doomed as jails by the women to be there women are not treated well that and sort of we basically have very little public spending on shelters in general or in other other forms of help and in this lockdown situation

naturally that kind of help and resources have gone down because here even if you need an amp and i see this from experience even if you need an ambulance in the how do you for someone who is suddenly ill you can't get it in the city of delhi which is india's capital city aid groups are concerned about the prospect of the pandemic reaching rebel held its lead in syria some of the cities some of the city's residents have already taken matters into their own hands producing mosques and creating much needed jobs and patiala report. 5 years ago the war in syria because mohamed al assad family members and his leg. now the latest adventure by the syrian government forces has forced him from his home in sarah cape with other relatives and they are living in atlanta they face and in threat the coronavirus pandemic yet for him and his father it is also an appeal to nitty they found much

we import the fabric and medical gasoline we so sterilized and so on the markets. really produce between $5.10 pieces a day and sometimes work is done by small hands before being books and sold in the local market the love might be there since we come to import moss from china right now demanded prices went up this local production is a bit different in concept the 3 years of sterilized mass helps us during this crisis it is unclear if the health system in a blip could handle an outbreak but for these people being people to work is a relief and gives hope to many that includes muhammad who might be able to afford more help and treatment so you know i'm console al-jazeera all medical staff in ecuador are struggling to deal with the number of infections they're 2 thirds of the nearly 4000 cases in one city kill the government says it's ramping up
