islamabad and. alex smith is an aviation analyst and explained why it's still too early to know what may have caused the crash. with today's incident we know that this involved pakistan international airlines airbus a $320.00 this is a short who jet now ordinarily this kind of aircraft one of them takes off every one and a half seconds all over the world so when a $320.00 takes up every one and a half seconds in a normal pattern on pandemic world we've coded 19 we know that there is a virtue aviation ground stop and there is very little activity going on pakistan they had just recently resumed domestic flights just last week and this was one of those flights that domestic bytes connecting 2 of its largest cities and so it is of course a devastating incident that we are still trying to learn more from but it's very early days pakistan international airlines is quite
8:06 pm
a subject in pakistan not least because of the ongoing problems that the airline to do with all kinds of claims be it corruption all the mismanagement and perhaps even questions over the kind of financial struggles that the airlines has has faced in recent years but i think again it would be too early to link that and the reputation that it has with today's incident purely because generally speaking on the whole pakistan international airlines does have not a bad safety record it does operate international flights it is recognized by international regulators and as such applied in approved to fly to places like the united kingdom and places within europe but it has suffered a few incidents including as recently as a few years ago where they were involved in a major crash in northern pakistan. you know as a kingdom will now quarantine all incoming travelers for 2 weeks the government is hoping to prevent a 2nd wave of infections the u.k. has reported some 255000 cases and is working on
8:07 pm
a smartphone app to help track and trace the virus let's get more now from sunny gago who is in london for us so sagna seems like unusual timing. that's right kim and that's certainly what a lot of critics of this move now would be saying normally sort of the opposition politicians are saying well this is rather late in the game for the government to be introducing some kind of quarantine lock down at the borders when that should have really been instituted right at the start of the break out in the country which the u.k. failed to do only really sort of choosing to focus in on china as opposed to other countries around the world but the home secretary pretty patel's so press conference on friday that this was being put in place to stop that 2nd wave which he said with more likely come out from external sources outside of the united kingdom rather than inside itself now without in mind as well this is going to be
8:08 pm
put into play on the 8th of june what will most likely come out of it will be an easy for an electric form will have to be filled in ahead of that journey being made people who are not u.k. citizens will have to find their own accommodation they will have to also put the details of where they will be staying and they will not be allowed to go out or come into contact with other people except for specific circumstances such as special assistance for the 14 day period but with that they will have to they could also run the risk if they fail to sort of comply with any of the border force recommendations on that and they could in fact even be turned away at the border and go back to their country where they originated their travel from now also as well as critics of the government saying the timing is completely wrong and this the other sector which is absolutely furious with this move now is the aviation
8:09 pm
sector of the travel businesses who have really suffered quite tremendously during this lockdown pair they're saying this is in effect going to decimate the aviation industry in the holiday inn. straight as well and what is needed really is not a quarantine 1 now but other measures because what britain needs to do now is in effect to try and not kill off its sort of global britain approach and sort of trying to sort of encourage if you will trade and the ability for people to be able to come to the u.k. in order for the economy to begin to come up again from the locked out economic crisis with which it's been suffering there have been plenty of course not from even boris johnson's own conservative party as well fearing that this health crisis is in fact going to turn out to be a very dark economic crisis for the country kim thank you that does not negate go

there cause developments from london. well health organization has raised the alarm about the corona virus outbreak in south america the agency's executive director of health emergencies has also warned against turning to untested treatments south america has become a new at the center for the disease we've seen many shows american countries with. increasing numbers of cases. and clearly there's a concern across many of those countries but certainly the most affected is that at this point. we also know that. the government of brazil has approved the use of hydroxy chloroquine for broader use we do point to the fact that our current clinical and systematic reviews carried out by a plan american health organization and the current climate clinical evidence does not support the widespread use of hydroxy chloroquine for the treatment with mine
8:11 pm
too. brazil has recorded another day the death toll record 1188 fatalities in the past 24 hours that pushes the official total beyond 20000 but doctors and other health experts say the true figure is probably much higher the government has been criticized for low testing rates and president jaya both who continues to talk down the seriousness of the pandemic is pushing for the economy to reopen as soon as possible paramedics in mexico city say hospitals are reaching breaking point and treating virus patients and an independent survey suggests the infection rate maybe 3 times higher than what the government says it is it reports from the capital. waiting for their next dispatch to red cross workers on standby at this office in a cow to pick mexico. here half of the ambulance units have been refitted to specifically deal with coated 19 patients with the paramedics say they're worried
8:12 pm
the region's hospitals are nearing capacity. see see about this here but i was that i think we should be worried about the level of saturation at hospitals because we've arrived in an ambulance and found there is no space for our patients we have to wait 123 and had to wait for up to 4 hours. in independent analysis more than 4500 death certificates is adding concern the region's health system could soon become overwhelmed the findings suggest the death toll in mexico city is actually 3 times higher than what the government is reporting that me and i act as if you're on the fly you see me at the sink us there are death certificates of people who either did not know they had the illness or died in quarantine without being tested this thing is certainly a factor also they are not adequately reporting the deaths of people under the suspicion of coronavirus. though we may think that mexican health officials are not denying the findings of the new report but mexico's deputy health minister google lopez get there is questioning the methodology he says that
8:13 pm
a majority of the death certificates in question are part of the subset that will eventually be included in an official code $900.00 death to. mexico city and its surrounding municipalities have become the epicenter of the corona virus outbreak in the country people seeking medical treatment are finding it increasingly difficult to find hospitals that are still accepting patients as hospitals in mexico city continue to fill up people are turning to a mobile phone application wants but the city government that indicates which hospitals have reached capacity as of this week all but 5 of the region's medical centers appeared either completely full or nearing capacity. paramedics say calls related to covert 900 are still on the rise making the workload constant they're also worried and oversaturation of hospitals could lead to patients dying while waiting in the back of ambulances. mexico city. john homa is also in mexico city joins us now live john let's talk about brazil now
8:14 pm
has the 3rd highest number of cases in the world is that presumably what is driving the world health organization to say that south america is now the efi center of this virus. definitely brazil is the epicenter of the center it's got a lot more cases than elsewhere in the region the americas in general has almost half of the cases worldwide at the moment and president bull sonando in brazil is sort of seems like his floundering slightly at the moment is at loggerheads with some of his state governments especially those of rio de janeiro and sao paolo brazil's 2 major cities and that's because he's attitude towards coronaviruses well 70 percent of us are going to get it that's what he said so we might as well just get on with this whereas the state government governments are trying to say look if we don't want our whole spittle system to be overwhelmed when it's in trouble right
8:15 pm
now in brazil then we do need to try and get people off the streets and into their houses and get people in quarantine what diable sonata has been saying is if you're not old if you're not you should be out and getting back to work so real tension there him worrying about the economy then worrying about the amount of deaths and the over strain on the health system and it's working out badly as you mentioned more than 20000 deaths in just the last couple of months in that country and also he's lost 2 health ministers because they disagree with the way he wants to go about combating or not this pandemic so real country in crisis. thank you john heilemann live from mexico city. still to come here on al-jazeera shops. unpaid how the pandemic is shaking the real estate industry down to its foundations . the fight to liberate palestine iran's supreme leader calls israel a cancerous tumor in the middle east.
