president of the chinese to deal with a pandemic began the 1st steps. welcome to the program but just by mr butters johnson has been admitted to hospital over his coronavirus infection but downing street says it isn't an emergency also on the day of his hospitalization the queen gold in the nation to unite to defeat the coronavirus a coal stock as many people headed out to enjoy sunny weather despite social distancing rules in place it's something the government of boris johnson has taken serious note off even as he remains in hospital. the prime minister's hospital admission comes as britain faces one of its biggest challenges in decades after

testing positive for coverage 19 boris johnson had been expected to emerge from 7 days of self isolation instead on friday he posted this message on social media although i'm feeling better and i've done my my 7 days of isolation alas i still have one of the sins of the mind a symptom of i have a temperature and so in accordance with government advice i must continue myself isolation until that symptom itself. downing street says the prime minister is still leading the government but foreign minister dominic robb could take charge should he become too ill to work senior advisers and the government's chief medical officer have also shown symptoms of the virus and been forced to self isolate shortly before the news broke about the prime minister's health britain's queen elizabeth gave an extremely rare televised address to rally the british public i also want to think there's a few who are staying at home thereby helping to protect the vulnerable and sparing

many families the pain already felt by those who have lost loved ones. the public have been ordered to stay at home but warm and sunny weather drew people to city parks at the weekend alarming the authorities and the health minister who only a few days ago returned to work after also falling ill warned that tough action would be taken if people fail to observe social distancing rules if you don't want to have to take the step to ban exercise of all forms outside of your own home then you've got to follow the rules with the number of infections rising london convention center has been converted into a makeshift field hospital the death toll now stands at nearly 5000 with officials saying that the peak might be another week away. they don't because one of biggest mass is one of the developments in london bigot good morning to you what is

the latest on the condition of boris johnson. well no update as of this morning and london paris we know that downing street is maintaining it's a precaution but of course we also know that it's far from a normal procedure for anyone to be admitted to hospital. with a virus and there has been a lot of they have been a lot of rumors that actually the prime minister might be more than he or that his spokespeople have admitted they were always saying that he has mild symptoms but whenever he did address the nation on video he really looked and sounded quite draft so a lot of speculation as the condition of the prime minister and and that is continuing this morning of course because what does that say about the health of his government's response to their coronavirus are brick i mean how sound has

a bean and are people confident of the government is doing what it can. well downing street is saying that boris johnson at the moment is still leading the government however we have seen especially in the last week and even with those newspapers who have so far been very loyal with the conservative party government we have seen a lot of criticism of the british government's response to the virus that they have started too late that they have for example put breck's it before breathing that was one criticism that the government hasn't participated in the e.u. scheme to purchase more ventilators and we've heard from doctors on the frontline that they feel that they are not really protected enough there's not enough protective equipment there's not enough tests to test patients and also to test frontline staff in the hospital so yes has been not an easy week for the government when it came to their response to the crisis and of course in the middle of all

this criticism begetter an incredibly rare address to the nation by queen elizabeth how significant is that. really fairly significant because she doesn't address the nation very often and she has been appealing to people's better nature and i think this was also planned because it was known that the weekend was going to be sunny and that people will be trying to in a way maybe bend the rules a little bit oh we very difficult for people to hear to go to the government. advice or to the regulation actually even to to stay inside and not to go outside not to gather not to congregate and she she really. was talking to people as you really have to look at this time and we have to see this time bringing out the best in people and evoking the spirit of world war 2 even so definitely

a significant moment because most in london thank you very much for that. there's been a surge in coronavirus cases in japan with over 1000 infections in the capital took your alone from stations auber has so far resisted calls to declare a state of emergency but japanese media are not reporting that he's preparing to do so imminently local authorities are already urging residents to stay at home. talk use normally bustling streets are deserted starting this past weekend people are supposed to stay at home the government is urging citizens only to head out when absolutely necessary. what is necessary mean what is important there's a lot of room for interpretation. if we can't go right we can't get food supplies people a panic buying already. japan's 1st confirmed coronavirus case was in mid january at 1st it was only a few cases but the number of new infections has risen exponentially in the last 2

weeks. there's been heated discussions about how tough the government action should be. in a bank i know a lot of it we haven't reached the point where we need to declare a state of emergency we can still avoid that about the situation remains critical if you want to go through to the community within a fund like germany which has tested half a 1000000 people a week for the virus japan has only tested around half a 1000000 in total many doctors say that's not enough. as in. law in the. mire visit. there is. no bridge it is another big concern is the impact on business activity

20 hours of overtime every week but despite all efforts they sometimes lose patients and this can be tough. to model this card. we feel powerless stand there and don't know how to treat them there haven't been any proper studies this is something totally new we do our best but sometimes it's not enough. noise the moment. alexandra webb and her colleagues have put together an emergency plan in case there are more patients she knows her team must persevere people need them like never before people in another city. are slowly emerging from their homes after months in lockdown the city of 11000000 was the original epicenter of the pandemic authorities are now slowly using tight restrictions put in place in january.

life inside ruhani it's still a place of fear and fascination as the city begins to move on from the crisis. and those on within they say there are many infected people without symptoms so i'll wait until none of those people are out there before i feel safe but i'm worried even if there's only one case a day. i think people will have a psychological fear of the epidemic really it all depends on how individuals think . well my heart come out here every day and i'm not so scared but i have to take all the precautions in the right way with all of you know. it's only the barricades that hinted anything other than business as usual at this market erected at the beginning of the outbreak they're slowly being taken down as their purpose becomes mish who hons 11000000 residents are slowly emerging from their harms
