10:02 pm
looking after kurt of ours patients and you saw there dominic robert who was standing in for the prime minister the moment. now the number of worldwide grown in virus deaths is edging closer to the 100000 mark as lockdowns continue to threaten the global economy there are signs that any recovery in the u.s. economy the world's largest is going to be slow as consumer confidence collapses and unemployment skyrockets in europe leaders appear to be getting closer to agreeing a half trillion dollar economic support plan which is pitched the wealthy north against the badly hit south a deal is expected to provide a safety net against the deep recession expected meanwhile the number of dead around the world is rising rapidly in the u.s. more than 1200 people have died from corona virus in the past 24 hours with the u.k. adding more than 800 victims but within the last hour the british government says prime minister boris johnson has been moved out of intensive care as his condition has improved and he will remain in hospital 2 weeks after testing positive for the
10:03 pm
virus which ali angela joins us live from hampshire in southern england so the prime minister appears to be over the worst of it at the moment. yes he's been moved this evening from intensive care back onto the main ward it sent thomas' hospital which is one of the country's leading hospitals and he said to be in extremely good spirits now this would have been boris johnson's 4th day in intensive care he's 55 years old and he was admitted sunday evening with a persistent temperature and pursuits persistent high temperature and a persistent cough and he received standard option treatment for 3 nights but he did not need mechanical ventilation and earlier it was reported that dominic rob who is the foreign secretary and was designated boris johnson deputy during his time in hospital had not spoken to the prime minister since saturday and that was obviously a very large cause for concern so there's no doubt going to be a huge collective sigh of relief throughout the cabinet and throughout government
10:04 pm
this evening and no doubt the prime minister will be keen to get back to work as soon as possible as soon as he's fully recovered before he was admitted to hospital he nefesh behind some very clear instructions for what was going to happen in this country for the rollout of mass testing for covert 19 for the provision of personal protective equipment for n.h.s. staff and i have to say neither of those things have really reached their targets yet so he has his really going to be having to hit the ground running and he's probably going to be asking a lot of questions about what's been happening while he's been in hospital earlier the the government's chief scientific officer said that the u.k. death toll from coronavirus has reached 881 that's the number of deaths recorded in british hospitals today and that brings the total number of deaths to 7978 and the scientific office said that it is expected to continue to rise for at least 2 weeks
10:05 pm
despite encouraging signs about the rate of infections and hospital admissions so this is a country still some way off the peak it is a country a day. away from what is normally the beginning of the easter holidays which is when people choose to travel across the country to see friends and family so that's certainly going to put a lot of pressure on the lockdown measures that have been put in place is a country with many challenges ahead but at least it is a country now with a prime minister who looks like he is on his way to recovery from kovac 19 challenger thank you very much indeed for that i've got it. and the economic toll of the virus is growing in the u.s. with news of the latest number of unemployment claims one in 10 working americans have now lost their jobs since the coronavirus pandemic forced the closure of all non-essential businesses in the past month they've now been 3 consecutive weeks of surging claims for unemployment benefits
10:06 pm
a total of 6600000 people filed for 1st time unemployment claims for the week ending april the 4th this was a slight decrease from the previous weeks count of 6900000 or the latest weekly data nearly 17000000 workers have lost their jobs since mid march when unemployment was a near record low our white house correspondent can be healthy joins us live from washington d.c. so so many extreme numbers aren't they. yeah there are string numbers but they're expected to get even worse because this is essentially just a reflection of the number of people that could actually get through to an unemployment insurance office in order to file their claims many many millions of americans have not been able to do that because the offices themselves are overwhelmed so we expect of the numbers will continue to climb every week as a result of this automatic shutdown with the spread of coronavirus in the forced
10:07 pm
staying in the home order that has been issued pretty much for 98 percent of americans and shut down the economy so the number of actual jobs lost could be in the neighborhood of 46000000 so we expect this number to only get worse as more people continue to file their claims and now in the midst of all this we've also heard that the white house is warning at least some of the top economic advisers are saying that they don't expect that this economic recovery is going to happen in the short term in fact it could be june 30th before many workers see themselves even beginning to consider being able to go back to work those are still plans that are beginning to be formulated but recognizing just how hard hit. businesses are as a result of these numbers and the fact that the economy is essentially shut down what we're hearing is that there could be a 2nd coronavirus task force that will be put in place at the white house level in
10:08 pm
order to oversee economic recovery we already have one in place dealing with the public health aspect now already talk that there could be a 2nd coronavirus task force put in place to work with congress to try and get the economy that currently is on life support back on track and commuting meantime the senate failed to agree on a on an aid package. yeah what we've got essentially here is africa by the white house they remember that very large legislative package passed a few weeks ago more than 2 trillion dollars well with tucked within it was money for small businesses and it wasn't enough they asked for 350000000000 then they would back to congress and asked for 250000000000 more this time that legislation didn't pass through the senate republicans were in favor but democrats said hey if you're going to find money for businesses you're going to have to also get busy money for hospitals and states as well and that's where things ground to
10:09 pm
a halt that legislation did not pass and also in the works is another package for many trillions of dollars for the economic recovery package that is still a long way off now i can tell you what is happening and what did get through today is an unusual work by the u.s. federal reserve which normally monetary policy is what it regulates it and now is that it is putting in place $2.00 trillion in effort to bolster small and medium sized businesses a bit of pivoting and what they normally do and what americans are familiar with them doing sort of acting in cord nation or is as a result of the lack of action by the u.s. congress and that failed vote in the senate committee how could thank you very much the epicenter of the u.s. outbreak new york has recorded its highest single day death toll was 799 deaths in the past day wouldn't 6200 people have now died in the state governor andrew cuomo
10:10 pm
says that number will continue to rise. it's gotten to the point frankly that we're going to room to bring in additional funeral directors to deal with the number of people who have passed if you ever told me that as governor i would have to take the actions. i couldn't even contemplate we are now the world bank is warning that sub-saharan africa is set to fall into recession for the 1st time in 25 years because of the pandemic the continent's 3 biggest economies are expected to bear the brunt angola's oil reliant economy has already been hard hit by foreign oil prices as it struggles to recover from a 2014 recession south africa has had to shut down its economy in response to the outbreak its central bank says the direct impact of the $21.00 day lockdown has been a 2.6 percent economic decline and the i.m.f. has revised nigeria's g.d.p.
10:11 pm
growth rate for this year down to 2 percent after initially saying it would grow by 2.5 percent when interest is in nigeria's capital abuja he says the impact on west african economies is already showing. the nigerian government for example has cut down its forecast for this year and it has also been forced because of low oil prices to revise this 2020 budget taking of more than 14 percent of the budget off simply because it doesn't have enough resources to fund government activities for base here and it's the same thing in many west african countries the problem now is such that the recession will hit nigeria and many of african countries especially in west africa very hard simply because these are countries that have bought up so much in the past and there will be little to borrow from a lot of countries will be struggling after this pandemic to rebuild their own economies and they would be willing as they used to to loan these countries
10:12 pm
a lot of funds or resources to help them with their economies now if you look at a country like nigeria for example where the growth rate has been reversed revised unemployment is mounting by the way it's expected that some companies either government or private will start their workers in the coming months or in the coming year so the situation is so bad here that the government is struggling to deal with the problem government has already borrowed so much from from external boards and it's looking to borrow more from international bodies like the world bank and the international monetary fund. finance ministers are meeting via video conference for a 2nd day to decide on an economic support plan for the bloc they failed to reach an agreement after 16 hours of talks earlier this week but the 2nd attempt comes on a day of hope for member states as germany and spain signal they've reached the peak of the pandemic and the heywood reports. the rise in
10:13 pm
new infections seems to be slowing in spain the country's hospitals they were still overwhelmed and after weeks of loss and more deaths predicted trying to keep coronavirus that they in public spaces is. under residents are reminded they should stay at home that. spain will remain in lockdown until april the 25th but the prime minister says the risk now really the hope that. after weeks of this fight which has been from the moments agonizing we see how the fire the pandemic released is starting to come under control the figures are encouraging we have reached the peak of coke at 19 and we are close to the beginning of the descent. in germany the mock town appears to be working with landmarks empty deserted you know . the latest coronavirus numbers in germany a reason for some hope the increase is flattening and the current number of
10:14 pm
infections is lowering a bit if we count the people who are recovered and those who lost their lives. more than 18000 people have died in italy its squares remain empty the impact of weeks of prescriptions is clear to see for those families hardest hit the government says loan and mortgage repayments will be suspended and there are questions about who will help pay for the pandemic. the thing. italy is an integral part of the e.u. the e.u. must show a strong swift and unified response to the repercussions of this pandemic we have to provide answers about politics finance and the economy because this is in all of our interests that does not only concern italy but also spain and all countries that face economic and social problems and those questions are being asked across europe it is grappling with this crisis from the north to the south know where it is untouched by it there are deep divisions there inside the e.u.
10:15 pm
about how it should be financed italy and spain want to share the data cross the e.u. but other richer nations are projected times there is no tim is a move the solution can be found there are no 1st class passengers we need our sink or swim together this is a true emergency this is global the good news is that we are very close to an agreement i trust i still trust that this time we will all rise to the occasion and show the necessary spirit of compromise which is the bad rock of our union for many families in europe easter weekend which usually market time of togetherness coronavirus will mean many will now spend it apart remembering those who they've lost and they would out as there are. let's get more news talks between european ministers to hammer out a deal that can prop up the rocks economy is a financial analyst and former economic adviser to the european commission he joins us from london via skype thanks for being with us sir how critical is it for the
10:16 pm
e.u. to actually come up with a solution here for the post pandemic era i think it's absolutely crucial 1st of all because of the scale of the economic devastation that has struck italy and spain in particular but the whole euro zone because of the threat. of post crisis austerity and a financial crisis neutralized and indeed because of the political acrimony you know at a time when thousands and thousands of italians and spaniards. have died there's a feeling that northern europeans are blaming them for their plight and that has gone down very badly indeed so in that so you're right to seem to be kind of split into 2 camps why is the issue of joint debt so divisive. well obviously northern europeans tend to think of themselves as as frugal and they tend to think of southern europeans as profit and they don't therefore don't want to share
10:17 pm
a bank account it's slightly more complicated than that but really at base that's what it's about and. these are old rankers which were brought up in the crisis in the euro zone the 20102012 have been revived but nobody's actually talking about neutralizing all debt they're talking about a common physical effort a temporary calm and physical effort which has to be large in order to respond to the economic emergency but would be time limited and would be for specific purposes like medical assistance or indeed helping to spark a recovery when the pandemic passes and there the french finance minister has appeared to to look like the kind of person is trying to broker the deal between the 2 camps and he said. we have to avoid any ideological debates on euro bonds or corona bonds and this one single political question shall we stand together or not has he got some kind of mechanism a sort of face saving arrangement to come out of this but of course france sided
10:18 pm
with spain and italy asking for current bonds in the netherlands and germany turned them down and so as a result they're trying to move to a new language and the french finance minister suggested a temporary fund of 5 to 10 years which would involve. calm and but what specifically not be cock corona bombs or euro bonds and be focused on financing economic recovery the big question i think is whether german chancellor angela merkel is going to decide that politically she needs to compromise and then put some pressure on the dutch to come into line because for the moment the dutch of being extremely hard line and they're doing so in the knowledge that basically germany probably agrees with them and if germany cuts them loose then they'll be much more much more pressure on them to compromise your great thank you very much indeed for your analysis thank you thank you. still ahead on jazeera signals emerge from a crucial meeting between major oil producers that agreement to limit crude
