has reported its highest single day toll 2108 deaths half a 1000000 americans are infected with the virus the hardest hit states new york is conducting mass burials but there's a glimmer of hope across europe italy germany spain and france have seen the rate of infections slow down let's bring in john hendren in chicago for us john so another grim milestone in the u.s. the rising number of krona virus says is quite alarming. as rightfully 500000 cases half a 1000000 and a 3rd of them alone in new york state that is 172 cases there now has only 0.15 percent of the u.s. population that's 327000000 but really we don't have a comprehensive testing system here in the u.s. so that is probably just a fraction of the actual number but we do know that so far 18000 people have died

as you mentioned that crossed the 2000 mark on a daily basis for the 1st time on friday the 1st case just to take you back happened in washington state on january 20th and that viruses moved quickly the administration estimated on friday that it would be peak on easter sunday that is that this coming sunday since march 26th the u.s. has had more cases than any other country on earth and by march 31st president trump made a grim estimate saying 100-002-2400 extension 00 americans would die before the coronavirus pandemic was over now that's less than the $2200000.00 that the administration estimates would have died had nothing been done no statewide shutdowns no business closures that sort of thing but on friday the administration dial that back saying the number would likely now be less than 100000 possibly as

low as $60000.00 but that pandemic has canceled every major event in the united states the kentucky derby horse race the indy $500.00 car race the start of the baseball season but anthony found the head of the centers for disease control. foundation says that we should have a sense of normalcy by november why is that important because president trump is up for reelection in november the president was very optimistic in his friday briefing which went on for more than 2 hours this is a little of what he had to say. we're seeing hospital admissions declining very substantially as i said a nationwide the number of new cases per day is flattening substantially suggesting that we're near the peak and our comprehensive strategy is working overtime our guidelines to slow the spread are decreasing the rate of new cases very substantially and will result in fewer hospital admissions and we're seeing that

it's. incredible i think with with no exceptions it's looking like it's slow. while medical a visuals and have been saying that there might need to be shut downs for longer perhaps 30 days after the may 1st deadline the president would like to see for businesses to open for people to come back out there is disagreement on whether that's the appropriate date but the president says he's going to gather in opening our country council that people in the administration and in private businesses doctors are all getting together to try to come up with a plan for when the u.s. can get out of their houses and back to business polls show that it's already hurt the president's popularity an organization called oxford economics says this will hit the u.s. gross domestic product by 4 percent this year and unemployment now at 12 to 13 percent could be 10 percent through the fall so when anthony found she says that

there could be a sense of normalcy by november that might not be soon enough for a president who runs for reelection on november 3rd john thank you very much for that it's that's john hendren by far say from chicago that the chinese city of one han which was the epicenter of the cone of break has eased restrictions this week s. 11000000 residents are now allowed to leave their homes and head to work subjects to good health it's been one month since the outbreak was declared a global pandemic let's bring in sakaki in hong kong for a so sorry just bring us up to speed for us with the latest numbers out of china and is this now a country in recovery. with china's health commission has reported 4060 cases on friday these are the latest figures figures and 42 of them were travelers from overseas we also have the reports of 3 new deaths after the who by province but certainly china appears to be in recovery mode we had the lights of were on the epicenter of the crown of us outbreak it's now sit seems to be

returning to normal we had the restrictions on the lockdown that was lifted last wake up to 76 days of that particular city being in isolation it's exceeded that's gradually getting back to normal we have this infection protocols that been stepped up in the city but china still has a number of quite touch travel restrictions and quarantine measures in place and this is being considered a key or key measure to china's reduction in the number of infections across that country but there is a concern that there will be a 2nd wave of infections and we've had lots of shit in pain last week morning of complacency we've seen in those countries across asia where the restrictions were ease with or a spike in the number of infections in singapore last week we had 287 cases reported in one day that's the highest number of delhi quick cases in that particular country and hong kong source similar a rise of spike in the fictions when those restrictions were at the lights of south korea it's taking no risks and still has a ban on all major gatherings as well as a number of social distancing measures but when you look at the likes of asia it

appears to be one step ahead when you compare it to the likes of europe and the united states sara thank you very much for that update sarah clock in hong kong for us and as sam mentioned meg china is on the road to recovery and is now easing restrictions catarina you has a report from beijing. celebrations outside one hospital the city where the virus 1st emerged at the beginning of march china appeared to have passed the worst of its corona virus outbreak president xi jinping visited the epicenter and who by province touting a downward trend in infections in hong kong public servants began to return to work and in south korea leaders expressed cautious optimism as clusters of infections linked to a church in daegu city came under control and in taiwan and singapore infections remained lower birth governments were praised for controlling numbers without confining people to their homes experts say admitting patients to hospital early

19 the risk it poses to public health is now under scrutiny it's believed the virus most likely emerged from this market in ruhani probably involving bats but also possibly other animals such as penguins the market in rouhani is still closed and the beijing government has issued a temporary ban on similar live wildlife markets elsewhere in china but there are many similar markets around asia trading wild animals like this one in indonesia north soon the way sea province that's snakes and other wildlife as well as dogs and cats are all sold here live in cages stacked on top of each other. when you have different animals in such close contact it is possible for cross species infections to happen other diseases can also be transferred between species and then infect a human. ending the exotic wildlife trade completely is almost impossible many

people's livelihoods depend on it and the trade goes on in many corners of the world animal rights activists say wildlife conservation isn't just about saving animals lives but humans too. people have exploited nature and wildlife they catch them from spaces where they should be free when you combine that with poor hygiene of markets it is a risk a lot is still unknown about this virus and exactly how it began but what is clear is that this isn't just a global health crisis but an environmental one to jessica washington al-jazeera jakarta. still ahead on al-jazeera g 20 nation is try to shore up an industry ravaged by the corner virus pandemic last week.

a year after a devastating fire paris's notre dame cathedral reopens for an intimate good friday said yes. my. you know the real makes the weather conditions across much of the united states the big winter storm still working its way through new england up into eastern areas of canada and this is what has produced already look at this snow in freeport maine causing some very dangerous driving conditions on a system not done just yet that he had further south into new york say he's going to go some very heavy amounts of rain the touches on the low side but cold is farther to the north and then he had tools the west coast and we were dealing with the rain and also the mountain snow into california for several days now and this is another day with the very center conditions but then in the central plains that we're dealing with this about a dozen to 2 dozen homes were damaged by one particular tornado touched down very

close to harrisburg and obviously did a lot of the damage we're going to sign about a particular region that you'll see to the south across texas we have got potential for severe storms developing later in the day it's a much better picture across much of the northeast new england up into eastern canada and in fact a better picture finally across much of california but notice all this coming down from canada really pushing down into the northern plains this is a shift in the corner and the snow and then still on sunday we have these potentially severe storms developing further to the south dakota does the temperatures look at denver saturday down to minus 3 on sunday with the snow and staying cold throughout the week. in the eye of the coronavirus information is more important than ever one who wants to investigate the battle for truth in china and beyond on how does iraq.

al-jazeera. the in the the or. you're watching al-jazeera live from doha a reminder of our top stories the world health organization says governments shouldn't draw back restrictions aimed at containing the coronavirus pandemic too early it says the rate of infection has been slowing in some countries but others a seen an alarming surge while the us has the most infections in the world with

more than 500000 calls in 1000 cases in the past 24 hours it's at its highest single day told 2108 tests. now brazil has become the latest country to record more than a 1000 deaths from the coronaviruses the hardest hit nation in latin america but despite this president also narrow remains defiant and is pushing back against social isolation measures during a national holiday on friday he visited a bakery where you got close with his supporters and the possible scenarios compared govan 19 to a small flu and maintains economy and jobs must prevail traceable has a latest from argentina. this friday he was seen again leaving the presidential palace and going to a hospital in about a bad round he went inside a bakery started mingling with people hugging them taking pictures among other things he was not wearing a mask and he was not definitely respecting space or social isolation so the world

health organization as i recall mandates as we know what joey wilson i do has been saying he says that the economy should be a play a very very important role in the fight against coronavirus that it should not be abandoned he has opposed log downs in major cities in brazil so we know that he staged this have you know way put him in a very strong drastic confrontations with the governors of sao paulo for example of rio they join nato that have imposed lock downs in their city he called them criminal lockdowns because he did not defend not believe that vic's are positive that they have a big impact on people's lives on people's jobs among other things we also know that there's been this big confrontation not only with the world health organization but also with his health minister who also recommends lockdowns he has threatened to fire him in the past but we know sources in brazil tell us that a very high members of within the military has stopped him from doing so now months

in secret on a virus outbreak was declared a pandemic there's still no treatment and there is no vaccine as a result it's spread with alarming speed around the world infecting well over $1000000.00 people they turn again to be has to teach us. an unprecedented response to a virus unknown to the world just a few months ago now on nearly every continent country and street people's lives are being affected dramatically by covert 19 was it originated in china but by march it was clear the coronavirus was a global problem. italy ordered a national lockdown 2 days later the world health organization made a red declaration deeply concerned by the alarming levels of spread and severity and by the island mean the level of this action.

we have that for a man to be an assessment that 19 can be contacted are used as a pandemic when the w.h.o. declared a pandemic all march the 11th there was a total of 118000 cases globally 94300 people had died but 90 percent of those infected with hiv 19 were in just 4 countries china south korea italy and iran a month later much has changed the number of known infections is approaching 2000000 across more than 180 countries and around 100000 people have died the united states has more confirmed cases than any other country wealthy nations with sophisticated health care systems have struggled to contain the virus so what chances that the millions of people in poor countries with far fewer resources. most governments have decided to now at least drastic measures on necessary to save lives no matter the cost many have implemented unprecedented lockdowns to slow the spread of the

virus so health care systems are overwhelmed the aim is to flatten the curve that means preventing a huge surge of new cases in a very short period of time china has done it you can see that malt here in purple and in italy and. spain the number of you confirmed cases has been trending downwards raising hopes the worst is compare that to the united states and the u.k. where the number of new cases has been going up almost every day governments are warning of a potential 2nd wave of infections when the lock downs are lifted china was able to slow the spread of the virus after around $21.00 days of lockdown it appears it has taken italy a similar amount of time. is the world winning the fight against the corona virus and will we have to wait many more months for our lives to return to normal scientists say we're in uncharted territory victoria gate to be al-jazeera. to

other world news now and chad spreads it and says his country's troops will no longer take on in military operations outside national borders the army ended a major offensive against the armed robocar arm which left more than 50 of its soldiers dead nicholas hock has more from senegal. the incident was made on national television the president of chad and then seeing that no charge in troops will be deployed outside of chad and this comes just after the president led on the ground in the offensive against booker in the lake chad area days ago he announced that he was frustrated with his counterpart the nigerian president. and the nigerians troop inability to tackle boko haram in the region china is the 2nd largest contributor in troops in the un peacekeeping stabilizing force in mali where armed groups such as al-qaeda affiliates of al islam. and islam

extinct in the greater sahara are stepping up their operation and so the country in the sahara region is at a tipping point france is struggling it has launched several aerial operation $83.00 in the last week to try to stem the violence but the announcement that chad is pulling out its troops doesn't bode well for the for the region and there is fear that there could be more violence as chargin troops return home. bill norrin says a professor at the american university school of international service explains what's behind the decision and how it will affect the. the morale of the chatting troops quite low there's a number of domestic issues including a prison riot related to cope at 19 and certainly the streets restrict the and there were about 6000 troops chanting troops around the late 700 had to be read or heard from mali back to late chad and then there was this large defeat about 2

weeks ago where chad had its largest troop loss in one day ever about 100 troops and that and that's why this operation went forward but it's a chick redeployment back towards chad sovereign territory to try to guess moving more of the defense more than often slowed against a counter terrorist groups and the attention to a number of domestic issues certainly there will be. serious negotiations between all of the separate countries involved in countering the 3 terrorist organizations in the area to figure out who will do what because the terrorists don't care about borders and they crisscross across them easily the french are bombing in the area there's americans there at the so there's a lot of up afterwards that will be ongoing wherever chad puts their troops but certainly the coordination will have to improve and also if i may add this sort of

pulls the legs out from under the infrastructure of all these international of multinational operations that are going on so there's a big question going forward about who will be doing what if the chat chatting or which was the 2nd largest player in all of these 3 zones of conflict pulled all of its troops out the last top oil producing nations have agreed on the need to stab an eye is the price of oil which has been hit by the current advise and then make and if he misses have won 20 largest economies discussed today or by video conference osama bin javid has had the chance. no handshakes no group photos this really was an extraordinary meeting of the group of 19 nations and the european union known as the g 20 the global pandemic has brought developed and emerging economies to a near standstill and their representatives are trying to figure out how to handle it a few hours earlier some of the energy ministers agreed on a record $10000000.00 barrel cut in oil production that was despite mexico's

reluctance to comply with the largest ever reduction in production by the opec less alliance was not enough and they needed more to be done by the g 20 it did decide to rally behind the cuts by opec plus and the initial agreement to wipe out 15000000 barrels from global oil production as high as that number may sound it wouldn't be enough to completely address issues of excessive global supply oil traders say the fall in oil demand could be as high as $30000000.00 barrels a day that's about a 3rd of global production this deal is $10.00 to $15000000.00 barrels a day so it only goes part of the way to addressing that massive demand shock we're can continuing to see oversupply and that's going to drive prices likely down words as inventories continue to build it is significant in the sense that saudi arabia and a few of the gulf monarchies are changing their strategy to a certain degree but much of what's happening here as i said is market cuts this is

going to happen anyway especially in the united states the world bank estimates economies in the middle east north africa region could lose 100 $16000000000.00 from the g.d.p. the seer due to the coronavirus pandemic and collapsing oil demand economists feared that would be devastating for investment beaded and basic services such as health care and for economic recovery the scramble to fix the collapse in oil prices highlighted a miscalculation by russia and saudi arabia who had controversially increased their output. and the u.s. being the world's largest producer has tried to control the damage our phone calls with world leaders president trump in an unprecedented move decided to cut production to help out mexico the opec nations have agreed to a different limit reduction of about 23 percent so what i thought i would do and i don't know that it's going to be accepted we'll find out the united states will help mexico along and they'll reimburse us sometime at a later date when they're prepared to do so. and we had

a great conversation but we'll find out how that all works out as you know they're trying to get rid of that lot of oil there's a tremendous lot of oil and we don't want anything to hurt our incredible industry actually the largest producer in the world now so we don't want anything to hurt those jobs it's not the 1st time global powers including the u.s. and saudi arabia have reached an agreement but this time the markets will decide whether the reduction of millions of barrels in oil output will be enough to secure some of the world's leading economies some job there. pope francis has marked the start of easter with a late night ceremony in st peter's square usually thousands gather to watch the way of the cross for session traditionally held at rome's coliseum but this year it was relocated to the vatican and live streamed because of. the 1000 restrictions a good friday service has been held in paris as notre dame cathedral nearly

them since renovation work began last year the fire destroyed its roof spire and some of its intricate stained glass windows the site of the medieval and goth explained to inflames shocked people around the world nearly $1000000000.00 in donations has so far been pledged to restore the cathedral but under the french government's coronavirus restrictions rebuilding work has been halted. the construction site was closed indefinitely at the beginning of the confinement like most of the construction sites in the country public authorities made this wise decision churches and other places of worship remain. opened during the lockdown but the french government is bound services and religious gatherings an exception was made for the ceremony not to damage the fire not a dam was a moment of national crisis the brought people together one year on and another crisis is creating a sense of national solidarity. the catholics in france this easter is clearly

unusual obliged to stay indoors because the coronavirus there are unable to attend church will travel to spend time with family and friends for many the ceremony not the dam will be a symbol of hope revival and a moment of contemplation in such difficult times. of desire frauds. the headlines on al-jazeera the world health organization says governments shouldn't roll back restrictions aimed at containing the coronavirus pandemic too early and says the rate of infection has been slowing in some countries but others are seeing an alarming so much i know that some countries are already planning the transition out of stay at home restrictions w.h.o.
