you know. the. the the. the u.k. coronavirus death toll passes 10000 this as the government is accused of failing frontline medical stuff. you're watching al-jazeera live from london i'm dead you know ok they're also a heads responding to the pandemic the world's largest oil producer has agreed to cut global output by around 10000000 barrels a day. new york's mayor blames the trumpet ministration for delays in delivering much needed virus testing kids and the african students in china who say they are victims of racism targeted because of the coronavirus.

hello easter sunday is a day of celebration for the world's 2400000000 christians a day of hope a day to proclaim the victory of life over death but easter this year has been marked by empty church buildings families split apart and an ever growing list of the dead from the pope in the vatican to the church of the holy supplicant in jerusalem and suburban churches around the world priests and ministers were forced behind closed doors delivering their messages online rather than in person well here in the u.k. the health secretary declared sunday a somber day as the number of people killed pos 10000 the 5th nation to reach the figure british prime minister boris johnson was released from hospital thanking health care workers for saving his life but the admitting it could have gone either way and my word begins our coverage. britain's prime minister boris johnson left

the hospital to continue his recovery at his country residence he was discharged after a week 3 nights of which he spent in intensive care i have today left hospital after a week in which the n.h.s. has saved my life look question it's hard to find words to express my dad he paid tribute to those who looked after him. i've seen the personal courage not just of the doctors the nurses but of everyone the cleaners the cooks the health care workers of every description physios radiograph was pharmacists who kept coming to work kept putting themselves in harm's way kept risky this deadly virus. the number of people who died in hospitals after being infected with the coronavirus in the u.k. has now surpassed more than 10000 the u.k.

government says record amounts of personal protection equipment is in the system but staff treating the sick say there are still vulnerable i'm sorry if ministers feel that they have supplied adequate p.p. to n.h.s. staff but that's simply not the case of what we are experiencing on the ground and it's just all don't want to be seen as heroes we're not martyrs and we don't want to die in the line of duty we just want to be protected so that we can do our jobs . across europe people are grappling with this crisis the number of deaths in spain rose again after a few days of dropping slightly no wonder then that there's no letup in efforts to try to stop the spread of the virus and corona virus is stalking frances care homes killing some of its residents care workers here face a grim task trying to reassure the living while dealing with the deaths. at the paris funeral homes and private funeral homes are completely overwhelmed so it

means that some corpses stay 34 days in the bedroom on the bedroom floor. this weekend should have been one of coming together for many families and friends tomorrow easter instead many of europe's capitals are empty the landmarks deserted the church is closed the pope delivered his easter mass in a much scaled down service at the vatican $100000.00 people usually gather in st peter's. listen it is the remains the epicenter of europe's coronavirus outbreak other places though of beating the full force of this human disaster and he would. get an update from marion and joining us from right here in london so is her saying that boris johnson is now out of hospital and on the road to recovery marion. yes that's right daryn he has been discharged from hospital he will continue his recovery a check because that's a prime minister's country residence it's interesting in that social media message

the posted early said that it was really touching go for a minute and that reflects the sense of concern that there was in the country about the prime minister's health and what his mission to intensive care could have meant that the country and the decision making in the possibility of a power vacuum at a time of crisis that there will be a collective sigh of relief that he's out of hospital not back at work yet though the foreign secretary dominic run. that i mean is that right except to say now that he is out of hospital he will be making the decisions yet still a grim milestone passed in the death toll in the u.k. today. yes that's right we were expecting to pass the $10000.00 mark today but it's still been met with a sense of shock and sadness and it has to be said that this figure really only reflects the heart of the debt deaths that have been taking place inside hospitals it doesn't reflect the delays in reporting those deaths because of paperwork and forms that have to be filled out nor does it reflect the significant number of

desolate taking place in care homes right now so in real terms that bigger is likely to be higher and we probably passed the 10000 mark before today on top of that warnings that have been raised about you kate possibly becoming the worst affected country in europe from the coronavirus it already over to spain and italy recording the worst number of daily deaths and so there are concerns about the u.k. suffering the largest number of deaths there was some possible positive signs in the figures today though while speculations showing some sign of stabilization in london that's important because he'd see an improvement in those figures in order for the death toll to eventually come down the other thing the government was pressed on at that briefing today was the lack of personal protective equipment for frontline and excess workers this is a crucial issue because this crisis is about to get worse and there are fears that those that are on the front line we're going to be treating patients who have over 1000 or suspected cases of coke at 900 simply don't have the equipment they need to

stop them from catching and spreading the virus. said today i spoke about 121000 gallons but he didn't mention anything about face masks and goggles which also thought to be running very low in some hospitals the british medical association has set that hospitals in london and in yorkshire running very low all supplies right now so there is a great deal of anxiety over this and a great deal of anger directed at the government that you have doctors and nurses those working inside hospitals who are putting themselves at a great deal of risk right now all right thank you very much. well italy has recorded its smallest number of deaths in more than 3 weeks officials said on sunday more than 430 people died from coronavirus related illnesses that's a drop of almost 200 on the day before more than 156000 people in italy have been infected with the virus and almost 20000 people have died well the world's largest

oil producers have agreed to cut global output by around 10 percent in a bid to shore up falling prices hit by the coronavirus pandemic it's the biggest cut ever with demand for oil plummeting amid the outbreak the oil cartel opec russia and other all producing nations have agreed to reduce production by around 10000000 barrels a day in may and june the deal was initially stalled after mexico failed to agree to its share of cuts but they were us president donald trump said he'd further reduce america's outputs to compensate let's bring in our economics editor joining us from london via skype so our bit we're now learning that for that deal to be clinched there was indeed pressure from the u.s. president donald trump. absolutely daryn you're absolutely right there was pressure from the u.s. president the president and said that there would be tariffs are not oil from saudi arabia and the from russia if they do and did not go through now mexico was the

holdout in this in this particular deal they said they wouldn't reduce. their output from 4 of 25400000 barrels a day they said we're sticking with 100000 barrels a day in that sense and the u.s. president stepped in to kind of. the deal to make sure it went through and said they and the united states want would help mexico to lower the the amount of production that they should be doing now that how they go about doing that will be rather interesting it's really it really important to remember that last week we saw 17000000 people join the unemployment lines in the united states and the shell industry in the united states is usually important to the to the american company employs 10000000 people and the last thing president trump wanted was a few more 1000000 people joining the production joining unemployment lines in specially problem this share of shale industry so he pushed through this be still

now we're still waiting to find out whether the mexico stuck to their guns and they will be just reducing their ad by a 100000 barrels a day but it's very important as well for countries like nigeria for instance nigeria is barring some in the region last $7000000000.00 from the i.m.f. and world bank to see through this particular pandemic the request came because basically they had christ there yet got it for this year at $59.00 a barrel and currently oil prices at $30.00 a barrel now in the next few hours we'll see that markets open and this is difficult to cut $10000000.00 barrels a day and there is additional cuts coming through from other g. 20 nations. well not likely to take away the total output which has been lost so we're looking at $35000000.00 barrels. has been lost over the last few weeks

alone because of the pandemic as 3000000000 people go. under lockdown so in the next year also find out what the market thinks about this and the most likely effect of this will be that more prices could slip by $20.00 a barrel if not by the end of this week was suddenly over the next few few months all right so we'll keep an eye on the markets but ali for the meantime thank you for that. new york's mayor is criticizing the trumpet ministration for a lack of testing kits bill de blasio has announced plans for a new testing sites but says it's contentions on supplies from the federal government the u.s. has passed italy with more than 21000 deaths about half of them are in the new york metropolitan area we pleaded for weeks and weeks for the federal government provide testing up front in the kind of quantity that could have helped us contain this crisis and change the whole course of that we never got that help we continue to plead for more testing still has not come any in anywhere near the numbers that we

need but we will not stop we're continuing the conversations with the white house would seem demanding the testing we are the epicenter of this crisis we must have the testing to help us move towards that next phase where we get out of widespread transmission across a virus and move to a low level transmission on to something better meanwhile new york's governor says the state's hospital system is no longer a threat of hitting capacity but worse the fire is likely to spread in suburban communities next. we are now stabilized on the imminent threat to the capacity of the health care system so we have a little breathing room in terms of capacity in equipment and wherever we see a pop up we jump on that immediately. i think you will see more growth in less populated places the virus 1st hits in the most

dense locations africans in china say they've experienced racism at the hands of the chinese authorities because of a cluster of corona virus cases in the country's south they say they have been forcibly evicted from their homes tested several times without being given the results and shunned in public $114.00 cases have been reported in the city of guangzhou since thursday 16 of those were africans and african officials have challenged china over the mistreatment china's foreign ministry acknowledged there had been some misunderstandings of the dream more from the nigerian capital of bush and he says the main concern now is that africans in china could take the law into their own hands the african union have demanded explanations and actions from the chinese or for yet in nigeria or to the foreign minister someone the chinese ambassador to nigeria to tell him they are p.d.n. or what nigeria feels about it and demanded action on the part of the chinese

authorities now the fear actually right now is not what african countries can do in retaliation because china is involved tens of thousands of chinese. actually spread across africa doing business construction and all and i look to for africa feel that the governments may not take opinion of actions against chinese businesses in africa because they needed those activities those loads from china those development projects be executed by chinese on the continent however the real fear is what citizens will do if you look at the social media platforms you see the amount of hate which africans say is in retaliation for the discriminatory attacks and the racial slows against africans living in china so the fear now is that these africans may take the law into their hands and start attacking chinese in retaliation that's the warri african governments are facing right now well just

a moment ago we were telling you about new york's mayor who's been criticizing the trumpet ministration for a lack of testing kits over in the u.s. let's bring in mike hanna he's joining us from washington for more on that story what the mayor has been saying but the governor as well mike. yes indeed the new york city mayor making very clear that the central government he believes has not followed through on its promise of providing sufficient testing kits president trump has repeatedly said that the u.s. has got the best testing regimen in the world as he puts it citing over $2000000.00 tests conducted but this doesn't take into account the per capita amount of tests that are being done the mayor of new york city's saying there is simply not enough tests in the area this is echoed by the governor of new york state also saying that the testing is an absolute critical factor in terms of countering the ongoing pandemic making very clear that it's on the testing that the data lines are

produced and that you can see the arc of the virus you can see when it's going to come where it's going to come but without clear testing this is simply not possible and important point to brought up by the governor of new york is that any talk about lifting the lockdown and there has been some of that in recent days from some in the white house that any talk about that is meaningless unless there is data to base a decision on that data comes from testing so this is a clear issue from the governor of new york from the mayor of new york city that they cannot be any contemplation of an easing of the measures against a pandemic until there is a clear set of facts on which to base any timeline any projection as to when the lockdown could be lifted without the essential data this is just simply not possible according to both the mayor of new york city and the governor of new york

state at the epicenter of this pandemic right mike hanna thank you. still to come on al-jazeera after 70 coronavirus ling death serbia takes extreme measures to keep people at home for the weekend and. after spending so long trying to have a child for whom i had known to not be able to be together a voice was devastating what happens when coronavirus lockdowns mean being cut off from the people you love. hello the long easter weekend isn't quite over and the sun is still out but it's about to be a change of weather type this so it doesn't look it is an active cold front it will drop temperatures by quite a lot let's take berlin example for example on sunday 23 by monday 10 tuesday 10

and look at the night time to sit down to freezing it does warp again but you have to wait until thursday for that but of course it won't just be broadly in a very wary central europe will see this drop in terms of anything up to 10 maybe 15 degrees with a belt of rain on the front itself and quite a strong wind least for a time coming through the low countries into germany and at the same time spain and portugal and for time southern france will see the blue stuff which in this case of course is significant rain it remains miserable for iraq but it's about time we get to choose a bit more in the way of sunshine the rain by this time is still in cold enough air to give some snow i think in the balkans on the higher ground and the wind has died down in northern germany so while the action is basically over iberia where it still shows on shore breeze and cody starts the day in a good part of morocco particular high ground with temps is held in the teens and this is still also quite a breeze dancer egypt through sudan and towards chad or the engine is still

a 40 degrees. there are people in the world all forms of verification to just go away so we need people fighting against reality check to see if it's a fake video may be in syria but in a different they risk a great deal to find out the truth in very complex situations that include major global players will be targeted by cyber attacks from russia there are dangers to this kind of reading. truth and approach truth work on 00. 0. 0.

caliber again the top stories on al-jazeera the number of people who have died with coronavirus in the u.k. has now topped 10000 i have to the prime minister boris johnson was also discharged from hospital on sunday thanking medical workers for saving his life. italy has reported its lowest death toll in more than 3 weeks 431 new deaths were recorded on sunday but spain noted a slight spike following 3 straight days of falling numbers opec russia and other oil producing nations have agreed to cut global output by about 10 percent or $10000000.00 barrels per day the demand for oil has plummeted because of the coronavirus crisis. the turkish interior minister. has resigned over the response to the pandemic a last minute curfew was announced on friday causing panic buying across the country let's get an update from joining us from istanbul said i'm so what more are

we learning about the resignation. well so far what we know is that. the resignation was only announced on the minister's official twitter account and we haven't heard from the presidential sources whether the turkish president has accepted the interior minister's resignation or not but in his resignation you know it's a months old opposed to that he's taking no whole responsibility for the chaos that was lived in the turkish economic capital city is somebody on friday night on friday night at the late hour is that until your minister an ounce a temporary lockdown for if 48 hours that will be valid and so to one cities there in and it was because of the good weather because for the last couple of days turks were going out violating social distance and friday was absolutely a regular friday in istanbul with a with a high traffic jam and so many people outside that's why there was this. there was

a sudden decision unprecedented blocked on the session however as the ministry announced the lockdown immediately after that hundreds of thousands of people flocked in the supermarkets and bakeries to buy bread because it wasn't an ounce that the v.a. crees would be looked at during those 48 hours of lockdown that's what people were panicked and it was criticize because that could cause a huge spread of the koran a virus which was criticized by many other people so minister saw him apologize as today from the citizens he said that is taking responsibility and whoever criticizes him they are right and today he just and now says resignation and i have to say that this is not good news because when a monster who has been who has been there in terry and minister for the last couple of years has been is a well known for his harsh measures against what the what the country calls there

is a mess michel a guest looks good to some workers. in the south in the south this region and the gender marry and the police he has been very successful and he has been loved by the interior ministry employees which has that highest number of employees among the. old ministries all right thank you very much for that update from istanbul now the balkans has almost 1000 cases of coronavirus with the majority in serbia where more than 70 people have died the country has imposed a 60 hour curfew designed to keep people at home over the easter break that's more from the capital belgrade. curfew in serbia started on friday at 5 o'clock afternoon and it will remain until early monday morning the ban on movement doesn't apply to people who must go to work including also the farmers everyone who is outside should have special license approved by the government through the email as

authorities explain the this measure was taken after the morning touring of behavior it was noted that people especially on the weekends didn't follow recommendation about necessary social distancing and people did not stay home the result was a total ban on going out on weekends as you can see around me most of the people are respecting the lock down and streets are empty as far as numbers are concerned the number of those arrested on daily basis has increased in recent days around 2000 people are tested daily of which about 250 are positive and we've seen the similar numbers in the last few days hospital capacities are filling up more than half of patients are in hospitals temporary hospitals have been prepared for patients with mild symptoms even for those without symptoms but core on a positive the government is pursuing the idea on the recommendation of chinese experts that all infected should be placed in some kind of control quarantine and

they say that is the way to avoid spreading the infection over many people all over the world the worst part of the crisis is being cut off from the people they love so you're going to go brings us some of their stories life's under lockdown silence and isolation and for many in this pandemic there is the anguish of being forcibly separated from loved ones all over the world families have been wrenched apart some because of the devastating effects of the disease. others simply because they were away from home at the wrong time. and i have just like. 19 goudey found herself stuck in ukraine with her newborn baby who was delivered by a surrogate there her husband had already returned to the u.k. both of them were arranging travel documents for their son when the lockdown struck

it was really heartbreaking because yeah after spending so long trying to have a child for my husband to not be able to be together with was devastated. and it was very lonely because it's a baby and i was not planned to isolate him so we were we were just in a little apartment together marooned for weeks in a state of uncertainty they eventually managed to get the documentation they needed and most importantly a flight back home stopping over in germany 1st probably never before the family was finally reunited if england. realized carney was diagnosed with coded 19 last and hospital for a preplanned procedure she enjoyed the virus and her fears without her loved ones around able to comfort her i'm not allowed any visits. a current speak because i don't have anywhere so i don't really have a conversation with my family and i can't see them either so you know that was the

hardest part was. i'm just isolated in this room and you know i didn't have anyone near me when it was one of these moments way you need someone the most they don't and the nurses were excellent they communicated with me even if i could it could indicate. they kept me at ease as much as they couldn't and it's also you know you do see people going home as well you see out of it going i missed while it and you just in those moments like that's what you have to take you have to take the positive oh man oh that was absent as maybe and she did rhea still needs to isolate from her husband for a bit longer. really didn't is ready. but now at last he can be there for. his support in a time of need sunny i egle al-jazeera london christians and jerusalem have been unable to gather for easter sunday services with all cultural sites closed mass took place behind closed doors of the church of the holy supper current occupied

east jerusalem one of christianity's most revered sites vats where many christians believe jesus was crucified and intone before his resurrection what would nations under a lockdown many religions have been forced to readjust their teachings and ways of worship join a whole reports on how believers are adopting during the covert $1000.00 fans amec . welcome to the kitchen of our home on easter day we watch bishop of can to bring out as you've never seen him before justin welby broadcast the easter sunday service from his kitchen using an i pad and the dining room table as an impromptu altar. of a. church of england rules announced some clergy to record all live streaming services in church empty of course juliet now plays for us christ the lord is risen today others had to improvise making do with laptops and smartphones in private living spaces sharing contributions from parishioners confined to their

hopes to. sophie what was it like for you delivering the easter sunday service from your front room to me personally there was a little bit of a heartache that i couldn't be in the church and then i couldn't be with our community but also that sense of hope that actually in what we were doing this morning meant that we could bring people together and we could offer them what the hope is of easter this is the church where the reverend sophie sure brewer would in ordinary times have presided over the easter sunday service it's so martin's in kensal rise and it's a building that has stood for well over a century through 2 world wars and countless other crises and its doors will of course again be opened once this crisis has passed it isn't just christian churches that are empty their bells fallen silent so our synagogues temples and mosques jews

are observing the celebration of passover and monday marks the start of the sikh festival of vi sarky it is so difficult to be on your own but you really need to connect with other people and especially. when you're in there in their collective way because you know. that was all meant by. at a time of uncertainty in spiritual need large numbers of following services online in some places faith leaders report large numbers of the normal 19 has altered almost every aspect of the lives we lead is no exception. london. hello again the top stories on al-jazeera the number of people who have died with coronavirus in the u.k. has top 10000 it's the 5th country to reach that mark prime minister boris johnson
