nobody would care about the law or prison so you'd have wallace should have. a terrible life between them in the. end this is the one business show you can afford to miss for in washington coming up. as a trip to the globe but some regions have been hit harder than others we have a live report on the spread of the pandemic and how different nations have taken different paths to tackle the virus plus as china begins its return to normalcy what impact will the recovery have on supply lines and the juggernauts economy

we'll bring you expert analysis and later as amazon stock has shined amid the krona virus outbreak some of its employees are voicing concerns about their health and compensation of a packed show today so let's go and dive right in. and the world now has more than 800000 cases of the coronavirus and cost the lives of more than 40000 people here in the u.s. the death toll grew by more than 500 in a day for the 1st time since much on monday during his daily briefing on the pandemic u.s. president donald trump talked about how important the next month will be to fight in the spread of the virus this is a page you had a duty challenging times are ahead for the next 30 days. and this is a very vital 30 days we're sort of putting it all on the line. this 30 days so

important because we have to get back. but the more we dedicate ourselves today the more quickly we will emerge on the other side of the crisis and as the u.s. president touted a newly authorized 15 minute test the nation's leading infectious disease expert dr anthony fauci said we will be in a better position to deal with the virus if it were to represent itself in the future if you come back in the fall it will be a totally different ballgame of what happened when we 1st got hit with it in the beginning of this year there will be several things that have be different our ability to go out and be able to test identify isolate and context trace will be orders of magnitude better than what it was just a couple of months ago in addition we have a number of clinical trials to look again a variety of therapeutic interventions we hope one of more of them will be available. as the u.s. now has more cases than anywhere else we want to go and buy r.t.

correspondent saya tablature who gives us this report. you know brand here in the u.s. so far 1000000 people have been tested for the groaner virus and although 4 other restrictions on movement are constantly being considered to help stop the spread of the virus the u.s. is now reporting twice the number of cases as china the u.s. has now more than 175000 confirmed cases the highest number in the world and more than 3400 deaths and the outbreak in new york still remains the largest in the nation with more than 1200 deaths now in china today denounce more than 1500 kroner virus cases that had not previously been made public and china so far has about 3300 vets and around the world more than 800000 people have been confirmed to have the virus and nearly 165000 have recovered and more than 40000 have so far died now let's take

a look at year over several countries are continuing to see a rise in new infections and that's now in italy and spain where the country's combined death toll is almost $20000.00 and that's roughly house of the global total you know really demonstrate the price countries pay when a virus pretty much outstripped the capacity of their health care system now the worst hit country in europe so far italy has over 105000 cases and almost 12500 that's and just today the u.k. and spain reported their largest single day jump in death toll and spain has reported 849 new deaths from the corona virus the highest overnight jump since the start of the pandemic bringing the total number of deaths of the country to about $8200.00 now the death toll in the u.k. also job to $800.00 that's more than 25000 people infected now in germany

confirmed cases are around 68000. only $682.00 deaths were according to experts germany's death rate is much lower than any other country due to its widespread testing and while germany currently has the 5th most infections in the world it is actually fewer on reported cases among many other countries where testing is really hard to come by now workers in germany will also get some relief as a federal label an agency has an ounce of they're going to pay employees at least 60 to 70 percent of their net salary while being quarantined at home now let's take a look at latin america where while some countries are taking extreme measures to control the spread of the virus others are just downright ignoring it now in argentina with and 966 cases and 26 deaths authorities are arresting anyone who violates the mandatory quarantine meanwhile in brazil

brazilian president wilson narrow continues to defy calls from health officials looking to prevent gatherings now the brazilian president has even stressed a need to keep their economy running and has clashed with several state governors who have introduced quarantine measures and so far more than 4700 cases and 168 deaths have been confirmed in brazil now let's get a look at india a country with just one government doctor for every 28000 people just imagine that and health experts are currently monitoring india very closely the world's 2nd most populated country after china which currently has over 1200 cases and 32 deaths you know but the m. epidemics there could become far worse because much of their population live in tightly packed neighborhoods where it's practically impossible to observe physical distance and finally let's go to iran the hardest hit country in the. iran has

almost $45000.00 reported cases and more than $2800.00 deaths and more than a year after france germany and britain said they were setting up a trade mechanism to work around u.s. sanctions against iran today they sent a 1st shipment of medical supplies to iran and that trade mechanism you can call it known as n. stacks will continue to deliver humanitarian goods which are not forbidden by u.s. sanctions and justice masa the same 3 european countries france germany and britain all signatories to the iran nuclear deal offered iran an aid package valued about our $505500000.00 to fight the country in their fight against corona virus and thank you so much sayah for that fascinating report and it should be noted that when we actually discuss president discuss aid president trump mentioned russia

would be sending a plane full of medical equipment to the us which was confirmed by a kremlin spokesperson on tuesday and as always remember you can get the latest news and information regarding the spread of the coronavirus on the portable t.v. apps kuroda virus tracker. and u.s. markets have been battered by the pandemic with major indices having their worst quarter in a decade and markets continued their downward trend on tuesday after substantial gains on monday even with positive manufacturing data coming out of china for the month of march now let's get some expert analysis on this from john college dean of the miami herbert business school and blue bus co-host christiane who joins us from los angeles while we recognize the social distancing protocols that everybody around is kristie can you tell us what's going on with the markets here. well brant as we wrap up the 1st quarter of 2020 the dallas' off by 22 percent the worst quarter since 1907 and likewise the s. and p.

is also off by 19 percent the worst quarter since 2008 and despite the brief relief rally that we saw in recent days the volatility is not over and we expect to see a retest of previous lows in order to have confidence of where the floor actually is and this all comes as china's p.m.i. for march came in at 52 beating expectations of 45 as a stage of strong recovery post virus the national bureau of statistics announced that there was continued improvement in the prevention and control the outbreak in march and a significant acceleration in the resumption of work and while many are hoping for a v. shaped recovery and are pointing to this data point as evidence that equities can bounce back hard analysts are warning that this p.m.i. reading does not mean that china's economic activities have returned to normal levels in february the economy was pretty much at a full stop so it doesn't really take much to rise from such a low base there's still a significant drag on china's economy as demand for goods and services is nonexistent in the consumer space other headwinds for china on its road to recovery

include a potential 2nd wave of infections slumping global demand and lower exports which will all result in millions of job losses in china as well given the long tail of the after effects of the chrono virus the march p.m.i. is likely a one off game from a very very low comparison basis in february. the world bank also warned that as china's growth stalls out it could drive over 11000000 more people in east asia into poverty while most countries in the region rely heavily on trade tourism and commodities and they do not have the luxury of a massive stimulus but as their economies contract any recovery is likely to be sluggish the world bank is now calling for stronger action to cushion the shock for the 17 want to all countries so taking its cues from china and the long road to recovery ahead president trump has called 2 trillion dollars in additional infrastructure spending in the upcoming days or coronavirus stimulus in his latest tweet now while that figure is more so wishful thinking than reality sources report that the total package being consider now is in the range of $600000000000.00 an

additional $600000000000.00 in stimulus and while this boost is very much needed there will be future consequences for this unlimited money printing currently other countries cannot get away with a 20 percent this call deficit paid for by the central banks only the us can given the doing this given the reserve function of the u.s.d. so this will all push out the ozzie dollars the cad dollar the british pound and all the other currencies in play as for all the emerging market control countries you just talked about well they'll just be pushed back deeper into the hole and they will never be able to dig themselves out of sending the economy further into poverty. thank you so much christine i want to actually pose a question to dean crowds here how are the coronavirus shaping global economies as we look at things moving forward it seems we're reversing on the globalization trend that we've seen in the past 25 make of us. no doubt that

this is a bad advertisement for globalization for us in the sense that this is a global health care pandemic that no one can escape and secondly that the end to locking of a cause. hamid's. that has occurred over the last 20 years both in terms of investment and trade flows is now being challenged by the assertion of national borders in the interests of protection of individual citizens it's ironic actually that a global pandemic has actually caused the resurgency of national instincts. but that's equally ironic that when things are tough families friends want to get together and hug each other but this pandemic is such that social distancing is mandated and you can't even get close to your family and friends at

a time of crisis and great need and now dean quotes christie talked about stimulus there and she also mentioned china with their manufacturing data well we've heard about what's happening here in the u.s. but what is china doing to stimulate their economy. while china of course took some very strong and aggressive action to inject liquidity immediately into the markets they also adjusted downward the the r r r in other words the required to reserve ratio that is imposed on banks. that collectively has is going to account for maybe around about $100.00 to $200000000000.00 of liquidity being put into the economy in addition have been a range of fiscal stimulus initiatives around helping small and medium businesses

to survive with adjustments in tax rates and so forth and finally a very strong commitment coming out of china to double down on investment in infrastructure particularly high tech infrastructure including. g. networks now kristie i got about 30 seconds left here but from all those points that didn't call just made are they what's pushing up that manufacturing data that i mean isn't great but it's better than expected. and that certainly is helping a little bit of the total stimulus so far is in the range of about 3.5 percent of china's g.d.p. and that is actually very conservative in comparison to its peers in the u.s. and europe who are pumping about $130000000000.00 and counting into stimulus so china has more of a soft way and see approach and right now it's currently looking to be behind the curve boom bust co-host christine and dean john quelch thank you so much for your time today. thank you. time now for a quick break but hang here will because we'll be right back and as we go to break

here are those numbers of the close. to. play. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person or those with. the day or thinks. we dare to ask.

least a little bit of let me. ask i wouldn't. take i could. not trouble getting loans to show more than. can you love lose your mother. how did you make it a secret is don't want to talk a little to want to have all of the kook on standards in the out now as you hunch up the next bush. in the local think political potato. i knew of those 2 morons who moved a little known to the snooze throne in 1000 phenomena so would you hire the tides. do.

one thing with your house on them. all the alternative all. because i say show the. real choices the binary choice and only choices if you say you're a. binary thing is not a chance for the states to school to provide a new picture of the. stork negotiations with. israel then are invited to negotiate they're invited to sing what's being put on the table. in this community there are people who believe that it's ok. it's really hard there

are no jobs and you see the kids ask and as a parent. i can come up with arguments there's a lot of conflict in the game between the 2 most of the conflicts i would say. and most of them is made. close one on each other's to each other is good business the state of california alone makes $6000000000.00 a year of prison complex just to get some 20 year life where. you don't care. anything.

and more can rhona virus controversy for amazon as the company now admits that it did fire an employee who organized a strike demanding greater protections for employees amid the corona virus outbreak chris small say management assistant at the facility was fired on monday afternoon after the strike smalls had organized a walkout to call attention to the lack of protections for warehouse workers in a statement to business insider small said amazon would rather fire workers than face up to its total failure to do what it should to keep us our families and our communities safe i am outraged and disappointed but i am not shocked as usual amazon would rather sweep the problem under the rug than act to keep workers and working for communities safe organizers say that at least 50 people join the walkout amazon says the number is actually fewer more like 15 joining us now is co-host of ben swan an investigative journalists as well ben thanks for joining me and i appreciate you being there ready to go when we had

a little technical issues there amazon has its own side to this story why are they saying smalls was fired. or that their reason is going to get him off the hook what they said that the reason why the fire chris. was late in the base is the. distancing guidelines that have been given stay 6 feet away from people i suppose what amazon is trying to say that in this case by organizing a walkout he was physically closer to people than he should have been so that's essentially the claim that they're making saying that they gave him multiple warnings knots of violate these guidelines and they say that. it's their best workers we can get at and it and chris smalling was caused that to be violated so that and the city led that walk out and no new york state attorney general efficient james called amazon's firing of small disgraceful and said the office of the attorney general is considering all legal options as well as calling on the

national labor relations board to investigate the incident what kind of injury issues could amazon face over all of this. well essentially i mean look depending on where this happens and obviously new york is a very union friendly state not saying that necessarily these these workers are unionized but even so there are certain laws that protect workers and one of the laws that protect workers is essentially to prevent you from being fired if you go on strike if you are striking for the right reasons now keep in mind if you are striking for any reason at all and you say i'm as i'm going on strike let's do a strike you can be fired for that but if there are certain things like for instance if you believe that your employer or come the company that you work for is putting you in danger in harm's way you have the right to strike and to walk out that is what essentially this is guy is saying chris moyles is saying is that amazon is putting workers in harm's way because they're not being forthcoming about

infection they're not being forthcoming about which workers have contract to covert 19 and they are not keeping their workers safe and that is what he was saying when he led this walk out so the idea that amazon says oh yeah it has nothing to do with that i think most of us are smart enough to recognize that the real reason they got rid of him was he was causing problems for them and it's just another black eye for amazon at the moment brant i would remind you that amazon is trying very hard right now to remake its image in the midst of the coronavirus there's been a lot of talk about amazon being too big not. and this is a moment when it's on could actually look our side is a. if it we've been doing the benefit to the cree and they've been bungling that so far. now bet amazon has called the workers accusations completely unfounded and said that it has taken extreme measures to make sure employees are safe while on the job which has been issued a face well before the coronavirus what do we know about steps the amazon either

has or has not taken. well look what we know this we know that in at least 10 amazon warehouses there have been people who are working in those warehouses who have contract id the coronavirus 1000 we know in most cases according to worse has not notified warehouse employees instead in between shifts they're going in and they're cleaning the warehouse areas that there was you know. 6 feet apart and that keeps everyone safe but we we've even. asked the. workers from elsewhere say that they are looking early actions on their social media from fake books or from local news or not from amazon management and as i said last week and i would reiterate it today it shows a lack of respect on the part of amazon to not be forthcoming with workers to not tell them what's going on in the midst of this crisis right now amazon is actually

trying to hire 100000 new workers to come in and work inside of its warehouses because as i said this is a moment that requires a huge response an amazon you would think would 'd be the company that could provide the response necessary for getting people goods and so far they have not treated their workers correctly they seem to bungle the relationships along the way and simultaneously they are not really you know forthcoming with those employees treating them instead like cogs instead of like people it's fascinating it is something that we're going to keep an eye on as you see more and more people during these lockdowns are going to need services like amazon like instict are and i was in those other companies and the fact is they have to protect their workers and treat them right for sure co-hosted investigative journalist ben swan thank you for joining us. and as the krona virus pandemic continues to decimate the travel and leisure sector air b.n. b. is offering some relief for their users know the u.s. based home rental company is allocating $250000000.00 to mitigate losses by host

whose guests have canceled bookings due to the pay. demick their funds will be used to pay host 25 percent of their typical cancellation fees the aid is being offered in every $1.00 of their b. and b.'s $191.00 countries with the exception of china now the company previously announced guests would receive a full refund for cancellations of reservation set between the 14th of march and the 14th of april according to a letter from the c.e.o. brian chesky payments will start going out to hosts in april. and finally as the world continues to deal with this crisis people throughout the world have come together unfortunately there are still some bad actors out there in the early hours on monday a painting by vincent van gogh was stolen from the singer lauren museum located east of amsterdam which is temporarily closed due to social distancing measures to prevent the spread of the corona virus now the painting the parsonage garden at new

n n spring was stolen around 3 am local time as the thieves smashed a glass door at the museum the museum's director rightfully expressed he was angry shocked and sad at the theft now the piece was on loan from a museum in the northern persian of the country and at this time it's really hard to say how much this piece is worth van gogh's are rarely ever sold and when they are they often fetch millions at auction should also be noted the theft happened on van gogh's birthday. that's it for this. demand on the brand new portable t.v. app available on smartphones. and the apple app store by searching portable t.v. . the board will t.v. apple and apple t.v. and. t.v. you can also. where you can get the latest news and information about. this as always.

welcoming our viewers from around the world live from central london this is also u.k. . the number of daily coronavirus deaths it's a record $463.00 that's as the british government is under fire officer still failing to meet its bars testing targets. government experts say there could be signs of a bar a slowdown but admit it's too early to know for sure i'll be joined by dr specializing in modeling outbreaks. number 10 resist schools to release the data that informed its most dumb decision while there are concerns that one designed to try to patients how would all this could also be used as a form of social control. the un delivers aid to the gaza strip amid warnings that

the densely populated territory could see a devastating virus outbreak for the health system already one of its 5 years of the israeli egyptian blockade will be getting liberian action from television. and also this hour stunning reports a spike in significant levels of depression and anxiety just one day all britons look down get it from a professor behind the surge. britain has experienced its worst day for corona virus deaths with more than $500.00 in just 24 hours that's as the government comes on the phone for its coronavirus testing program as ministers admit it will still be weeks before the 25000 a day target is reached while thousands of health workers condemned the lack of protective equipment with some frontline staff claiming they're threatened with the

sack if they reveal the true scale of the crisis but the latest case is and he joins me now in the studio so bring us up to speed then with the latest developments. well the death toll has now been updated for the united kingdom it's risen by $563.00 reportedly over the last 24 hours with the total now of $2352.00 deaths and the total number of recorded cases very close 230000 just trying to 1474 and it comes as the government comes in for criticism as to their testing strategy all their lack of testing should it be put because we've seen yesterday already the government not reaching their target of 10000 tests a day and the they're really coming in for criticism for that because the n.h.s. frontline staff they say that they're not even being tested enough let alone people

around the country and we understand that only 2008 her staff are being tested so still a long way to go in there have been many concerns on that front for the government a government minister has come out to face up to the accusations and the allegations really that they're not doing enough with robert general key is the housing secretary and he says that the government do have to take some responsibility for the lack of testing thus far but says that the situation isn't easy and that they're aiming to test up to 25000 people a day within the next fortnight. but we do need to ramp up production very significantly it isn't easy to procure tests in a global country because there's a great deal of demand. now even that figure of $25000.00 would leave the u.k. some way short of some of our european counterparts in germany for example the

testing is taking place at a rate of about $70000.00 tests a day and so even if the government reaches that figure of $25000.00 a day well the u.k. and germany they have roughly similar population numbers and so the u.k. really would have to step up its efforts to get to that point and he said what about the n.h.s. how are staff coping. well we've seen n.h.s. staff repeatedly coming out and stressing that they're not getting enough personal protective equipment and also that they feel like there isn't enough testing taking place now with regards to that we've seen a letter written by n.h.s. staff it's from a group called every doctor and they say that the government need to provide n.h.s. frontline staff to be provided with more personal protective equipment p p e this is a letter which has been directed directly addressed to the prime minister it's been signed by $10000.00 n.h.s.

staff and they say that out of bed minimum workers should be given mosques and blobs and should have protection in clean scrubs available now the n.h.s. have responded and they say that they are open to n h s workers making clear their concerns. once a major incident occurs it is vital that the public receive fast authority to open clear and consistent information from there and h.s. which is why in line with longstanding emergency preparedness resilience and response protocols official communications are therefore always coordinated nationally staff continued to speak in a personal trade union or professional body capacity and this is self-evident from print and broadcast media coverage throughout this incident that staff are able and do in fact speak freely now that's despite claims that have come out and emerged that there are and who have been threatened with their jobs that if they do speak

out publicly then they could be fired so it would just remain to be seen exactly how much freedom those n.h.s. staff to have particularly at a time when they say that they are putting their lives on the line for the country and in fact when they say that n.h.s. staff are actually dying as a result of covert parenting. thank you very much indeed for all of that when it comes as government officials cautiously claim britain is showing early signs of a slowdown in the spread of the virus yesterday n.h.s. chief steven powell has said that while we're not through the worst of it yet there are signs of recovery we have had a rise in the number of new u.k. cases but recently there is a little bit of a plateau i think it's really important not to read too much into this because it's early days we're not out of the woods we're very much in the woods and it's really important that we keep complying with those instructions. downing street top.

professor neil ferguson also admitted there may be some evidence to suggest that lockdown measures are working however he also stressed that it is too early to know what effect this will have on the death rate but experts also caution against over interpret in the figures the infection rate could be an underestimate given the lack of testing and the death rate could be an over estimate as it indicates all deaths occurring with the virus not so early june to the virus or for more on this i'm not joined by an epidemiologist at work university dr mike tilsley. mike thanks so much for joining us on the one hand we're told there are green shoots and yet the daily death toll has now reached an all time high. yeah i mean obviously i think there's you know there's a lot of what seems to be conflicting information coming out at the moment i think it is true that the maybe some promising signs in the might be a slight drop in the number of hospital admissions that's happened over the last

couple of days what i would say is we're still in the relatively early days in the u.k. is seeing the impact of the more severe social distancing message that came in a week ago and yet there's a certain lack of time because when someone gets infected they may not show symptoms for up to a week or even 2 weeks later so a lot of the cases with still seeing reported will have been infected prior to the introduction of these measures so there are similarly signs in the data that we may be starting to see a slowdown but we probably really won't be able to towel 'd for maybe a couple of weeks' time whether we really are starting to plateau and seeing a drop what do we mean by a slowdown when actually we're seeing the cases going up well you're absolutely right i mean so we will still of course continue to see the cases going up so we're with to really to say the rich real evidence of a slowdown because in a daily basis we are seeing on average the number of cases that are reported are greater than the day before and even though there was a slight drop in the number of deaths

a couple of days ago that's now jumped up quite significantly in the last 24 hours so it's going to take a little bit of time so what we would expect to see out fully within the next 2 weeks is that we will see a reduction out in the number of daily reported cases will hopefully start to be lower than the day before and when we see that that is a consistent pattern of behavior from one day to the next we then can have fairly strong confidence that we are starting to see this epidemic starting to decline ok a decline in daily reported cases but we have to brace ourselves for more daily deaths than the death rate going up every day quite significantly over the next week or to. and unfortunately the evidence would suggest that that may well be the case because of course as i said there is this slight lag time so we're still dealing with cases that could have been infected some time ago and the expectation of course is certainly for you know the next few days of course we would probably see as a increase in the daily deaths and obviously what we're looking for is signs that

this then starts to decrease because then if we are getting beyond the peak we can then start to think about what we might do in terms of potential relaxation of intervention measures some of your experience of modeling this type of that the damage what you're seeing is in the bank conventional thinking. i mean what i will say is that no epidemic is like the one before so there's always going to be slight differences because every to say that comes is going to have slightly different transmission characteristics it's going to have a slightly different death right slightly different sort of infection time and so forth but broadly speaking the way that an epidemic behaves it behaves in the same sort of way that you get an increase in cases for initially looks like it's exponentially growing and can be quite worrying of course for lots of people and then we'll start to see tailing off and plateau ing before starting to decline the real uncertainty actually comes when we get into this declining phase because it's

not automatically clear that of course it will decline and then it will die out you can possibly get a sort of an infection tile that can carry on for a certain length of time in a lot of the things we need to think about when we get beyond the a is how to manage that and how to put in measures to enable us to sort of get out of these more severe lockdown procedures as quickly and as efficiently as possible yes and just on that point do you anticipate the knock down measures could be eased in the near future and when i say that in time for mid summer perhaps just finally . i this is it this is a rib a difficult question to ask and so i will say one of the key things will be looking at in sort of woman 2 weeks time whether the really is evidence of a reduction in the daily number of cases and that will give us a real indication as to whether people are complying on a very high level with social distancing measures from my own sort of personal experience i think actually in general people are complying really really well but

it's very important that people keep up those social distancing and good hygiene practices and don't have experience left that instance in terms of that because actually the more people comply and the shorter amount of time for all of those we will be under these sort of severe social distancing measures or to mark tells me thank you very much indeed for talking. thank you. the government is under pressure to release the data that justified last week's lockdown prior to the announcement number 10 said the report a public interactions informed the decision but opposition leaders want more transparency we've handed over extraordinary powers to the government for obvious and good reason but it's important that the government is clear and transparent about how and why those powers are being used it would be better if the government is as transparent as possible the data should be published. the government is yet to respond to the request but says it receives its information from a range of sources all compliant with current data regulations number 10 also said

it would publish days when legally possible and if it helped the public to better understand the threat. where it's possible to publish data and where we think doing so will give the public a better understanding of the threat of a virus when we are committed to doing so. the concern over days of privacy comes as the government plans to release an app that would inform the public of nearby virus carriers developed by n.h.s. england innovation works by using short wave signals to detect nearby phones in your area those who have tested positive can tell the app which then informs those nearby to protect the infected users identity these alerts would also be delayed but over the whole of the population needs to use the app to be effective the days who won't be stored by a central system which creators hope a late fears about privacy and hacking but an open letter from experts to the government is also on the technology could be used for nothing areas purposes any

technology initiatives put in place now to suppress coronavirus must protect human rights be proportionate and work within the rule of law not least because they will set the template for what comes next in the delivery of health services in the u.k. the combination of this new coronavirus bill with existing far reaching data gathering powers creates the risk that location and contact tracking technology could be used as a means of social control so is the previously pitfall or for the good of our health we're debating this in the next hour here on our u.k. . well let's remind ourselves of what's happening around the rest of the country in scotland the edinburgh festival has been cancelled for the 1st time in 70 years 1st minister nicolas called the move the right thing to do the welsh government announced some schools. would stay open over easter to help the families of key workers in northern ireland a vehicle m.o.t.d. centers have to be converted into coronavirus testing centers globally the figures

currently look like lists total confirmed cases down that over 870000 over 43000 have died over 185000 have recovered the global response to mitigate the economic impact of the virus continues as the european commission president has today announced a project called sure it's a plan to support the blocks workers. this is sure state supported short time work. it has mitigated the effects of the recession kept people in work and enabled companies to return to the markets with renewed vigor and the idea is simple. if there are no orders and companies ran out of work because of a temporary external shock like corona they should not lay off their workers. full details of the project are yet to be released however it is thought to take

inspiration from a scheme currently in place in germany where companies can reduce work hours or reduce production but use government funds to continue paying workers still to come this hour the u.n. sends more than $4000.00 passengers in a single day to palestinians in gaza as a massive health ministry declares at least $20000000.00 to fight the outbreak we get a lot of reaction from tel aviv. and the study reveals a number of people reporting depression and anxiety spikes a day after the coronavirus knock down here in this country will be joined by the professor behind the search. is your media a reflection of reality. in

a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being led so. what is true. is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the death. or a maid in the shallows. the

un has delivered over 4000 possibles in a single day to help promised indians on the gaza strip amid fears that the densely populated territory could experience a catastrophic outbreak of coronavirus says a massive health ministry says it needs $20000000.00 to fight the virus while building new quarantine facilities to stop the fragile health system collapsing. joins us now live from tel aviv paula just tell us how the outbreak has impacted the people in gaza. when you talking about gaza you need to realize that we're talking about one of the most densely populated areas on earth there are 2000000 people here who live in the space of 140 square miles so any kind of violence any kind of pandemic is going to ultimately run the risk of becoming a catastrophe. as you mentioned the united nations relief and works agency has been distributing food parcels it has up to 7000 food parcels that it wants to

distribute it also talks about the being not enough testing equipment in the strip and in this respect israel is trying to bring in some equipment and testing tests so that people can conduct what is needed to happen inside the strip now we have in terms of figures up to 12 people who are confirmed dead but that figure is unfortunately expected to escalate this is a shortage of facilities and in this respect too large facilities are being built and 18 facilities are being converted into clinics at the same time the health ministry has said that it needs some $20000000.00 in this respect the top has offered to give $150000000.00 in aid to try and help ease the situation in the gaza strip the situation is made that much worse by the seas that has been imposed by israel for the better part of 14 years so that siege has seen a much needed basic supplies been able to enter the gaza strip at the same time a harsher rules are being implemented rules that are preventing people from gathering in large crowds and rules that are also stopping street vendors and any

kind of street markets from happening now across the border in israel where i am on wednesday we saw the highest wise in the number of people testing positive for covered 19 in this respect there are more than 5500 israelis who have tested positive the chief of staff is under quarantine and you have $21.00 israelis who have died the unemployment figure also stands at one in 4 now this is a figure that is the highest that this country has ever witnessed and it came into effect just in the last 23 weeks when you have all the drama and all the lockdown coronavirus i spent the better part of today in masha rym it is one of the neighborhoods for the ultra orthodox religious jews and these are the areas that are the worst hit in the hospitals 40 to 60 percent of patients come from the all. docs jewish communities and this is because these communities are not here into the lockdown just on sunday there was a funeral with more than 400 people they continue to flout the rules and gather for

prayer meetings for weddings for funerals i was with there on patrol with the police and we were pelted with stones and eggs in the ultra-orthodox screaming at the police to leave the neighborhood but the police of course insisting that they're going to stay there and try and bring these and to corona virus orders into place as the country beside its efforts to try and deal with the spec and pandemic . paulus there thank you very much indeed for that well to discuss this further i'll be joined by a humanitarian campaigner a humanitarian campaign of i will be live in the next hour here on the u.k. . the number of people reporting significant levels of depression and anxiety spiked to day after the prime minister announced the coronavirus. research carried out by the diverses sheffield and else to highlighted that on tuesday the 24th of march a day after the announcement of the lock down 38 percent of participants reported significant depression 36 percent had significant anxiety in comparison the day

before that lock down just 16 percent reported that same depression while 17 percent anxiety rates of both also remote and high during the following week with just over 20 percent reporting depression and anxiety too but the study also found that those aged under $35.00 living in a city with low incomes and with health conditions reporting higher rates of anxiety and depression and those whose income has been hit by the outbreak were particularly at risk to discuss this further i'm now joined by the expert behind the research professor richard ben told richard thank you for joining us thank you it's safe of course assume any lock down would have an impact on all wellbeing but that spike just one day after it was announced is quite a shock. in a way i think we need to be cautious in interpreting it can i just say at the

outset those surveys been commissioned to actually by the funded by the university sugar and the universe revolves to source a joint project between 2 universities yes yes we will we were a bit surprised to see that spike the figures you refer to are the number of people who responded to the survey on those particular days who are of what we call what a recognised thresholds for exhaustion depression levels which would normally suggest the need for some kind of help of some sort so yes now we were a bit surprised and obviously were various different possibilities why it may have happened one no question is fewer people responded on tuesday than on the other days and we think that's possibly because people were trying to make sense of a lot and decide what to do about it and were bit too busy to fill in surveys that said we have checked and it isn't that didn't seem to be a great a preponderance of people with past mental health difficulties because we did ask about that. although it does seem that people with previous mental out difficulties

appeared to be particularly affected your point to make is that is that this spike only lasted for a day in a way because the question i suppose to measure is by so i asked people about a standard questionnaire which was used in service in a sort of space measure symptoms over a week that said i guess people responded just according to have they were me feeling at that moment yes and talk about feeling at that moment surely things will get worse the lot down guys and a month might be ok but 6 months that could be catastrophic he worried about that. a little bit but i think we should think about it in it's a slightly more complicated than i think we should just assume that we'll have an escalating level of psychological reactions to the epidemic could be some front so good. things which happen as well so one of the things which we know is very important terms of maintaining mental health for example is the extent to which

people feel connected to the neighborhood people film connected to the neighborhood are more resilient so for example if again it's a financial trouble we've shown in previous studies that they're much less likely to develop sentence if they feel that they belong to the neighborhood and they trust their neighbors so one possibility which we should look will be looking out for is that in fact as people rely more on their neighbors as time goes on which they will do in some areas and it's already happening where i'm i'm living then maybe that will be protective it's going to be a mixed picture will be some groups who react badly so a group which is a particular concern for example of people got small children at home. you know they've got a really they've got a stress burden which is quite considerably beyond what the rest of us have got that's a group which we might be worried about strangely released that was strange to me when i 1st saw it at the elderly did not seem to be particularly affected at the moment right just finally and briefly that mine the government didn't adequately

account for mental wellbeing the mental well being of those being stuck at home and and it and can't actually do anything about it should there be governmental health . so i'm sure it wasn't number one priority to be fair you know it seems to me that the most important thing is trying to contain this epidemic you can have you know this argument going on about how well they've done that but that should be focus the sooner they can contain the academics who are curate. that. or how oh. there are things which can be. said to people which might help their ability to cope with this particular situation actually public health england issued some very useful advice only a couple of days ago some very simple things to take into account so for example sleep maintaining a decent sleep cycle helps protect people from mental health difficulties are just one of these about 6 or 7 different things which are listed by public health

england which would be helpful. you seem to have some sort of glimmer of optimism actually over there is that in the long run people will be able to cope but of course it's overland on the help they can get from others and from hearing from the likes of unit out well you know how this is helpful. that we can be helpful to people. i would say that the more the people can actually work together with their neighbors and. share the burden of things like shopping and things like that and just basically remain in contact with the people who are more likely they want to do well to get my feel your question am i out to mystical pessimistic i'm a bit of both because it will be and you expect some groups will suffer and some groups will suffer badly but the overall picture which we're seeing at the moment the bulk of the population is you might say relatively resilient but in one week we

did see a trend towards increasing anxiety depression across the way for the wretched dental thank you very much for talking to us live here not u.k. and that's it for a moment i'll be back with more news in half an hour. all the alternative all. real choices binary choice and only choices. available binary is not a chance for the states to the school to provide a new picture of the called head start negotiations with. israel they're not invited to. the. microgram aren't slights against you know why. for example there are

fights against women or nonwhites so it's always the idea is that statements that directed toward a privileged group are interpreted differently than a statement directed toward an oppressed group and so that's kind of the whole framework and it's a political framework that's used the result is of course focusing at least on certain kinds of minor slights and saying rather than or more than we need to call attention to them but it's not so it's very political in this country.
