time. it remains between the patient and the doctors. we are not advising postponing medical treatment that the doctor believes should occur now. we are getting to the point where you can start to think about doing that surgery if necessary pretty soon and i think pretty soon. yesterday i directed secretary of agriculture, sunny purdue to expedite a and he will be using all of the tools at his disposal very quickly of at least $16 billion to provide relief forfarmers, ranchers and producers impacted by the coronavirus. and this time of crisis we must keep our supply chains moving right from beginning to end and we are committed to supporting the amazing men and women who produce, supply and i did last night

farmers. i have been helping our farmers. i have been helping our farmers for a couple of years because they were targeted as you know by china and others and i think they are very grateful for what we have done. on the medicalfront they are very grateful for what we have done. on the medical front the fda has issued 47 emergency use authorizations for advancements in testing, new ventilatory designs, innovations and personal protective equipment and experimental medicines and the doctor will be talking about that. we cut through the red tape to give doctors and patients unprecedented freedoms to make their own health care decisions and granting access to potential therapies and drugs and since monday we have deployed two major shipments of hydroxychloroquine and we are also exposing and getting as quickly

as we can portions of it to the department of veterans affairs and the department of defence and speaking of the department of defence they will be sending us 10,000,095 masks and in every way we are in great shape. with ventilators, protective clothing, we have additional plane loads coming in but we are not getting any calls from governors at this moment, i can speak i think for president penske be speaking in a little while, we will be getting very little calls from governors. —— i think i can speakfor vice from governors. —— i think i can speak for vice president mike pence. it isa speak for vice president mike pence. it is a good job, you have done a greatjob. i it is a good job, you have done a great job. i appreciate it is a good job, you have done a greatjob. i appreciate it, the whole country appreciates it. more than 2 million coronavirus tests have now been completed and we are conducting approximately 100,000 more every day. we are also looking

to bring blood based tests to the market as quickly as possible so they can be determined if they had they can be determined if they had the virus already and they had the immunity. a lot do not even know if they had it. sometimes it is brutal and the prime minister seems to be doing well now i hope. had a rough go of it and still is that he is doing better. some people do not even know they had it. it could be samples or it could be they don't feel perfect but they had it and they are the lucky ones. the nih cdc and fda are validating the antibody tests to make sure they are accurate and they are doing that at breakneck speed. we will get them approved very quickly. when validated we are confident that the production will scale up for tens of millions of

tests very quickly. we are leading the world now in testing by far and we will keep it that way. other countries are coming to us and are wanting to know about the tasks and can we buy the test and can they do whatever they have to do to get the test and we will be very soon in a position to make that possible because it is important to have it. we will have an announcement on the world health organisation sometime next week and as you know, we have given them approximately $500 million a year and we will be talking about that subject next week. we will have a lot to say about it. said that as donald trump getting his daily briefing to the press corps. he was talking about oil where he did start in the press conference today but we will come back to that shortly and he went on to talk about the efforts to tackle the pandemic in the united states and grand figures again today out of

new york with the president saying more than 2 million virus has now completed in the united states and he expresses the death toll should be substantially less than was originally predicted. we will keep watching and bring you any news that will come out of the press briefing in the next hour. let's talk about the situation here in the uk. at the end of another week of tragic news for thousands of families in the uk, and today has been the third day in the row where the british government announced close to 1000 deaths in a single day. the uk daily briefing was led by matt hancock who reported the biggest daily increased so far which takes the total number of deaths in the uk to almost 9000. globally there have been nearly 1.6 million cases recorded of coronavirus. close to 100,000 people

110w coronavirus. close to 100,000 people now report to have died. that is cording tojohns now report to have died. that is cording to johns hopkins now report to have died. that is cording tojohns hopkins university in the united states. in new york a mass burial has been taking place and the death toll barrett remains high with more cases of the virus remains high with more than every single country. prime ministerjohnson has out of intensive care and is walking about we are told and continues to improve in the hospital where he has been thinking the whole clinical team who have been treating him for the incredible care he has received. he says his thoughts are with all of those who have been affected by this terrible disease. elsewhere in the european union finance ministers have agreed to emergency rescue package with half e1 trillion to the worst hit by the pandemic. the first report this evening comes from hugh penn. work on birmingham's new temporary hospital has progressed so fast

it's ready to take patients today. that was the message from local health leaders at the latest nightingale hospital for coronavirus cases based at the national exhibition centre. it will be well—equipped, but it comes at a time when some health staff elsewhere are worried about their safety. they say they're still not able to get the right personal protective equipment and some feel anxious what they do get is not adequate. we're getting a lot of messages from doctors on the front line that the current situation is, in many parts of the country, inadequate, that people are feeling unprotected, that they feel scared when they're a work, they feel unable, in some places, to use the kit that they're able to bring in from home because other members of the team haven't got it, and that they don't feel confident in what's being provided. staff at newcastle—upon—tyne hospitals trust say they've had confusing messages. one e—mail this week said due to the current national issues with supply and demand of gowns, an apron instead of gown or a long—sleeved apron should be used for aerosol generating

procedures — that means release of airborne particles. a few hours later, they were told that an apron instead of gown should be used in non—confirmed coronavirus patients. a doctor told us, i feel betrayed by those who are meant to be our leaders, it is like we're being sent to war without armour to protect ourselves, serving as cannon fodder. in a statement, the newcastle hospitals trust says requirements from public health england had changed numerous times over recent weeks, that current advice was fully in line with those, and staff could be assured there were sufficient supplies of protective equipment. today, the government announced a new plan to get more equipment, known as ppe, to health and care workers. there will be a lot of scepticism, won't there, still about another plan being published. i mean, what guarantees can you give that people will be made to feel safe with the right equipment? what i'd say is that it is a constant effort to get the ppe to the front line, a huge logistical effort. we acknowledge the challenges,

of course we do, we face them every day. and we are doing everything in our power to get that ppe to the front line. and those with concerns about ppe at the front line, we're making sure they have a place that they can go in order to call for help. dr abdul mabud chowdhury posted a message to the prime minister on social media, warning about the lack of protective equipment for nhs workers. that was five days before he was admitted to hospital after contracting coronavirus. he died on wednesday and his son spoke to the bbc today. he was a courageous, brave man, and that's something he's passed on to us. he saw that nhs workers didn't have enough ppe, and he made a call for that, and maybe at the time it did not get the attention it deserved, but now, for sure, we're giving it the attention it deserves, and we are not going to stop, we are getting this everywhere,

we are making sure we are heard, that my father's voice is heard, that my father's passing is not in vain. scotland's first minister, meanwhile, repeated the guidelines to the public on social distancing. the message remains exactly the same as it has been. people need to stay at home. i know how difficult that is, and i know how difficult that will be, particularly over this easter weekend. ordinarily, that is a time to see friends and family, and a time to get out and about and even take a short break. none of that will be possible this year. today some were enjoying the sunshine, keeping their distance and exercising in line with official advice, but there's still a long bank holiday weekend ahead. hugh pym, bbc news. temperatures are expected hit around 25 degrees in some parts of the uk this weekend. and the government has repeated again the need for people to stay at home, unless they go out for the following reasons. you can leave home to exercise once a day,

alone or with members of your household. those who are leaving for work can do so but only if they cannot work from home. here is the report. a picture postcard, and that is because the crowds are missing. what would have been unusual is now the norm. you wouldn't be able to move down here, honest to god, you wouldn't, it'd be absolutely heaving, chock—a—block, beach, pathways, all the shops would be busy, everything. our town and every town, certainly on the seaside, we need people to stay at home, keep away, keep themselves safe, to keep us, the nhs safe, so we can say people's lives. other coastal resorts were also deserted — from southend—on—sea to southwold. and skegness, where on a normal easter weekend it would be impossible to park. sir!

no running! that's it. you can only walk on the river walk. in london, officials have been reminding people to keep a distance. sir, could you dismount, please? thank you. sitting on the beach — you're all right walking around, but staying stationary, are you from the same household or...? in birmingham, rangers have been patrolling the parks. stay indoors because of covid—19. so you're saying i am not allowed on my front garden? you cannot come on yourfront garden. in rotherham, one householder thought the police were taking things a little too far. south yorkshire police have since apologised and described the incident as well—intentioned but ill—informed. messages like these in scotland have been seen across the uk's tourist spots, and they appear to have made a difference. there was also a reminder today that people can die one month after being infected, so staying apart and staying at home is vital.

right now, you have to remember there's still a lot of virus circulating, and if we keep ourselves away from other people, the only way you're going to get it is from an infected person, so staying apart from other people is the key to breaking the transmission chain. it doesn't get more isolated than this, and it's hoped the easter weekend will look exactly the same. fiona trott, bbc news. let's ta ke let's take a look at how some of the other countries are dealing with this. the current restrictions on movement will remain in place for another three weeks but he said it was his further hope to gradually ease them afterwards. and stained the number of daily debts has fallen to just over the number of daily debts has fallen tojust over 600 the number of daily debts has fallen to just over 600 and the lowest for more than a fortnight. almost 60,000 people have died in spain since the

outbreak began. some are preparing to ease their restrictions. and italy 570 people were confirmed to die from covid—19, fewer than the day before. confirmed cases also slowed from just over 4200 to 3951. italy of course is one of the countries hardest hit by the pandemic with over 18,000 confirmed deaths. pictures have emerged of a mass grave in new york as the death toll continues to rise. almost 800 more people have died in new york state alone. officials say burials are being ramped up off of hart island, often used for those who do not have next of kin. new york state 110w not have next of kin. new york state now has more coronavirus cases than any single country in the world. let

speak to our correspondent and washington for ask. to use our grim pictures. the two trenches on the island off the bronx and these coffins being piled off, it is accepting the —— upsetting to see. yes they are, this is a public burial ground. it is a public burial ground with public cemetery and that is the middle of the 19th century and before the outbreak of the virus, a couple dozen people were still being buried there each week and these are people without next of can wear it hospitals cannot contact anyone when they have died and it is run by the department of corrections and effectively run by labour from the presents and what seems to be happening now is that again when people die in hospital and bear in mind 777 died in new york hospital

in new york state yesterday people who do not have next of can or contact from them will possibly be buried there and released into these terrible trenches. i did not want to get too detailed about this but they are marking the coffins apparently with people's name so if nexit can you come forward, there could be work for centring the couple done at coffin and burying it elsewhere. so many families are suffering at the moment and i want to briefly turn to the economy because of course we have been following news today of the 620 have been following news today of the g20 meeting, the virtual meeting of energy ministers and we know the price of oil has fallen so dramatically with lack of demand for oil worldwide and we do think there isa oil worldwide and we do think there is a deal and donald trump has been talking about discussions he has had with the mexicans. he says he has reached an agreement with the mexicans to reduce changes to their

output levels and that is obviously trying to maintain the price in particular and it is something of course that is very important to texas because when the oil price goes back low the texas economy ta kes a goes back low the texas economy takes a real hit as well. there was of course some progress between russia and saudi arabia on this issue as well said that if something they have been working on in the background. separately in the briefing that was just starting, the president was sounding pretty upbeat on the numbers as well. he is now saying that he now believes that substantially saying that he now believes that su bsta ntially fewer saying that he now believes that substantially fewer than 100,000 people will die of coronavirus in the united states. if you remember just a couple of days ago the projections were 100 to 2a0,000. it isa projections were 100 to 2a0,000. it is a prediction and we do not know the path of this thing. the

president in this sense is going on the same data as everyone else is seeing on the universities and from the public institutions but he is now sounding much more optimistic note about the numbers of fatalities. let's hope he can keep those numbers down, a useful update and thank you very much indeed. the british red cross says there are thousands of refugees and asylum seekers living in poverty in the uk although the government will find support for those who need it and and coag, many refugees remained. it reports on how the pandemic as affecting those who have fled persecution or poverty. they look like scenes from the world from before the coronavirus. but we filmed these crowds nearly three weeks into the french government's lockdown. no social distance for the migrants of calais.

good morning! bonjour. bonjour, salut — coffee! try to wash your hands sometimes! no hot food either — a sandwich given by the state, the sole meal of the day for hundreds. this camp is on the edge of an industrial estate about a mile from calais. it might as well be on another planet. we are sick people. how difficult is it for you here? there is no good food, note any drinkable while there may water. french volunteers help here every day. have some pity, have some... you wouldn't do this to a dog, would you? so you're doing it to human beings who are fleeing the war. iam ashamed. i can't sleep at night. i'm... i'm sick of it, you see?

these are people, and they've suffered. they're not criminals — they're the opposite. they've been raped, they've been assaulted, they've been ra nsomed, they've been tortured. everybody here wants to get to britain. even under lockdown, it seems a better prospect. i'm on a journey through migrant experiences in calais and in london, and for people who are already living on the margins, the arrival of the coronavirus has been nothing short of catastrophic. but suppose they do make it here — migrants will find an asylum system already backlogged and struggling with the the impact of the virus. one undocumented migrant from africa told us she'd survived on odd jobs and help from friends. we've voiced her words to protect their identity. we're desperate, we have

no way of paying rent, can't get anywhere. there are no places offering accommodation, no—one giving you money to buy groceries. foodbanks are closed. in calais now, there are many migrants — a lot of them from africa — who want to get here. what would you say to them? i would tell the migrants in calais not to think it gets easier, not to have that much hope. just because you're not in the camp doesn't mean that you're going to be treated human, or it's just the same circumstances, different setting. even if they can start the asylum process, new arrivals won't get more than about £5.40 a day to buy necessities. is there anything in there that you think they'd like more of that? a few foodbanks still operate. this british red cross centre in north london opens twice a week for all who are hungry. abdul is an asylum seeker from north africa.

i have a daughter and i have a wife, once worked for restaurant. i'm struggling, that's why i'm coming here, you know? my family doesn't have food at home, that's the thing. this centre is a lifeline for those who are surviving with very few resources. and while this is a charity, the workers here do their level best to make it feel about sharing — living up to the larger rhetoric of unity, of compassion in these desperate times. the world is consumed with fear of sickness and economic crisis. hard times on the margins getting much harder. fergal keane, bbc news. let's take a look at some of today's other news. for many christians around the world there is a good friday like no other. this was part of the service earlier today from notre dame and paris which of course

is recovering from a devastating fire so let me play you out with some of the music from that service. music. hello there and good evening with temperatures close to 25 degrees and has been the warmest day of the year so far but of christ we have not been able to get out and enjoy it as we normally might on a good friday. not bad if you have a parasol in the garden, this is the satellite picture and as you can see a lot of clear sky across the uk and one or two shower clouds thatjust popped up two shower clouds thatjust popped up across two shower clouds thatjust popped up across parts of wales on the afternoon and they drift eastwards and with the odd thunderstorm. marcado generally for scotland and northern ireland through the night and some outbreaks of patchy rain. clear skies further south and one or two places in the south or east of england and getting down to 4

degrees. at most having a mild night and a mild start to tomorrow morning. the sunshine may turn hazy at times and a cloudy start for scotla nd at times and a cloudy start for scotland and northern ireland and then we see the odd spot of rain into didn't north western isles and they will also turn breezy and rather cool. further south though very warm, 25 or 26 degrees and without warmth we could just see the odd afternoon shower or if thunderstorm. some of those in wales, midland and others will continue into the evening. for sunday again across england and wales, one or two more showers by this stage and some rain trying to push and from the west and northerly when developing from scotland and northern ireland and that will make you feel considerably cooler here and 23 degrees perhaps in london but it turns cooler for all of us as we

head out of sunday into monday and high pressure is squashing in from the north with the feel of winds around high pressure in the clockwise direction and that will draw this much colder air down across the uk and it will feel particularly chilly given the strength of this north or north easterly wind. quite a lot of cloud feeding in the eastern side of england and the further west you are and those are the average wind speeds with costs a little stronger than that with particularly blustery off the eastern codes and pray and planets but even here only getting up planets but even here only getting up to 13 degrees.

this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers around the world. the number of coronavirus related deaths worldwide have surpassed 100,000 that's according to thejohns hopkins university. the british public is being urged to stay interest this weekend after the highest daily death toll so far in the coronavirus pandemic. after weeks of criticism over a shortage of personal protection equipment, the british government is insisting there is now enough if used correctly. new york has started to bury some of its debt in mass graves, the state now has more coronavirus cases than any single country outside the united
