a lot less death death than if this wasn't done but there will be death. we're looking for an obvious focus and the hardest hit regions some of them are obvious and some aren't so obvious they spring up they come and they. they hit you like you got hit by a club and that was donald trump speaking to the american people on saturday with a strong warning that sings will get worse before they get better so will journalists and has been covering this story for us from new york to describe what it's like to right now of another grim milestone now in the last 24 hours 638 people have died there is over 113000 cases in new york state alone and we talk consistently about the shortages when it comes to the protective gear for doctors and nurses but there's a shortage of medical personnel as well and not being over has now that medical

the navy dismissed the crazy if i'm not following proper protocols and allegedly causing panic by letting his complaint leak to the media. reporter on a short has been following the story she's here to talk to us about hi ana what's been the reaction to this captain's departure from the navy well it does depend on whether you look at the navy leadership or the service men and women who were serving on the him hierarchies are always very very important in any military organization and if you look at the rank and file the crew members past now they have been tweeting very very positive things about this captain it seems like he was very very well loved for instance and there's some cool crew members tweeting their thanks to captain brett crazy. spouses of one of the crew members tweeting that he deserves a medal and then lots of other people saying that he is an american hero. and

then you know that tweet is always quite easy to type easy to hit send and there are also a number of petitions that are going round right now 100 fold but one of them has got 200000 signatures and these petitions are calling for the captain fraser to be reinstated and so the situation right now on the u.s.s. theodore roosevelt is that around a 3rd of the of the sailors have been evacuated and they are unsure. moment so i mean it seems like he got his wish but almost at the expense of his job and the navy to ship said help was on its way already ok is there going to be any political fallout from from any of this bullet hole to see where it's going to come from to be honest members of the house armed services committee and the democrats on that committee they said they should a statement when he was sacked they were saying that he it was wrong to sack him

without a thorough investigation they didn't say it was just wrong to sack him period and they said he hadn't they haven't investigated this situation enough and it this decision was taken too quickly the republicans on that same committee didn't make any comment and bernie sanders has has called for him to be to be reinstated that's one of the democrats presidential hopefuls but donald trump the u.s. president he wasn't very supportive in fact he took the side of the military leadership against captain crazy as you can hear in the sound bite he was quite critical because i thought it was terrible what he did to write a letter i mean this isn't a class or literature this is a captain of a massive ship that's nuclear powered and he shouldn't be talking that way in a letter he could call and ask and suggest but he stopped in vietnam a lot of people got off the boat they came back and they had infection. so it

sounds like captain crazy has lost the backing of the commander in chief by the sounds of it yeah and it's hard to see how he can come back from that i mean president trump has intervened in masses of military discipline before and he has taken the side of soldiers who are. against the military leadership but listening to him just now i don't think he's going to do it in this situation. your reporter on the short of thank you very much ana. here are some of the other coronavirus headlines making news this hour the virus hit coral prince's cruise ship carrying 2 days and at least a dozen other infected passengers has finally been allowed to dock in miami the vessel had spent a month at sea several south american countries have refused to let the dock. caretakers of public cemeteries in denah pros sitting in southeastern ukraine have been ordered to dig 600 graves and thousands of body bags have been pretty ordered
