president trump faced questions and criticism for what he did and didn't do to stop the virus. like many other countries in the early days of the pen demick the united states was in denial about the tree danger of the coronavirus it's going to disappear one day it's like a miracle it will disappear jesus and. but the miracle didn't happen and the prayer didn't help certainly not in states like new york 1000 hit the big apple hard hospitals were soon fill to capacity and morgues were overwhelmed state governor andrew cuomo entered crisis mode and issued a warning to the rest of the country. new york is in crisis helping new york and then pick up the camp and then go to the next place as this

roof across the country. a prediction that turned out to be true the virus spread rapidly from coast to coast by early april it was impossible to deny the seriousness of the situation. we're in a very critical phase of our war against the coronavirus the sacrifices we make over the next 4 weeks will have countless. american lives saved we're going to save a lot of american lives. we're in control of our own fate very much. despite the sacrifices within a week the united states let the world including 1000 deaths it still tops the grim list. confirmed infections have now topped the 1000000 mark a milestone that nobody wanted to reach at a time when calls to reopen the country are growing louder. beaches and california were already packed at the weekend and several cities and states are preparing to

lease and stay a time restrictions. i spoke to did a correspondent in washington d.c. stephan simmons and asked him whether u.s. citizens believe president trump has the crisis under control in this country a lot of says and experts who say unlike oh this is not a problem performance from the administration to the contrary just because the president says there's enough tests just because the president says there is. he and his work has saved millions of lives that may be so however the death rate is now at $58000.00 people died $58000.00 people and just a month or a little bit more than that the president said like 15 cases in all will go away so . another example of the vice president showing up today at the mayo clinic in

minnesota without a mask surrounded by experts and doctors and patients with the mets and he's not wearing a mask that is exemplary for how many many people in experts see this handling of the trombone restraint in the handling of the coronavirus crisis and well they can't and are not very happy with the administration. russia president vladimir putin has warned that the country's coronavirus pandemic has not yet peaked he announced that the country that the current lockdown would be extended until may 11 although restrictions may be eased after that russia has reported a significant increase in the number of cases with an additional $6400.00 infections in one day bring in the nationwide total to almost $94000.00 and the health care system is reaching its limits. this ambulance is rushing to sing petersburg approach ski hospital many health care workers and russia are doing

their utmost to cope with the coronavirus epidemic but they are reaching their limits more and more medical workers are now testing positive themselves. which we do there are 32 coronavirus patients in our unit and 10 of them are medical workers yes you didn't mishear me all of our employees are now infected. russian president vladimir putin now acknowledged the problem during a televised meeting with his ministers the situation is still difficult and we're in constant contact with our specialists to coordinate our plans and actions we have yet to pass a peak. russia has been on a strict lockdown since late march now russians are being asked to stay home until at least may 11th. in his speech the president thanked the people for abiding by the restrictions until now it. is a thermal we've managed to slow down the spread of the epidemic this is the result

of our joint work with the responsibility of millions of citizens who listen to the recommendations of doctors and specialists it's used the kremlin underlined that it will come up with measures to support russia's fragile economy and ordinary russians many are struggling to make ends meet due to the country's strict regulations which force reza. to stay at home unless absolutely necessary in the capital people are counting down the days until may 11th but even then a quick return to normality is unlikely. and doubly correspondent only sure when it is in moscow and she explained how people were taking the lockdown restrictions well even state t.v. here in russia has been reporting that people are kind of tired of the lockdown and here in moscow i think there are a lot of a lot more people on the streets in the past few days than there had been previously people had been i think hoping for kind of measures to be loosened for

those holidays that didn't happen but i think one of the main worries for people here in russia at the moment is the economy we heard putin talk about that at that today about further measures though he didn't go into detail people have been even taking to social media to express their concerns because this non-working period that is the lockdown essentially means that employers are supposed to keep their employees on and can keep paying them but government support has been rather limited so a lot of people just don't have any money and people are really worried and putin's ratings actually have taken a hit as well. well let's not take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world. the search for a covert 19 vaccine has received another boost scientists at oxford university say they've successfully kept monkeys infection free for 4 weeks the team has now
