a 1000000 people have recovered. so today's developments to brief you on the own set of springs warmer weather and the big upcoming easter weekend will for many be a temptation to travel but the big warning is don't in france which is grappling with more than 82000 affections leaders fear that it will make a bad situation much worse they try to get the message across that the coronavirus is not a holiday here's our paris correspondent charlotte do bensky. this weekend would have been the start of the easter or the spring holidays for many but as a lockdown measures remain in place the forest most of us will be saying is the one on our computer screens here in france the message is particularly. for you. there will be no let up if that saves lives the message is clear those we love we
5:03 am
protect them and to protect them we confine ourselves we will be there all weekend to check this on the way that to and from vacation sites but also in public places and wherever it's needed. in a big to ensure french citizens obey the law interior minister announced roadblocks are being stepped up on major groups and there will be extra patrols a train stations and airports the prime minister also insisted on discipline. because the virus is not an occasion no one should depart in the coming days it will ruin the collective efforts to which we have been hearing for almost 3 weeks anyone traveling will need to have a poem mission slip explaining essentially why junee is considered to be essential travel now that could mean either traveling home or having to travel to work but be

5:05 am
ones who did not respect the log down at the beginning so all this is not a videogame it's reality people have died. he though quickly came under fire to insult and treat my patients who are in danger of dying as offenders is a real scandal you have to tell the preferred that there are caregivers in intensive care and one of my nurses contracted the virus were treating patients meanwhile norm for cement agencies are also warning of new restrictions saying it is forbidden to use your car to go on vacation the deputy interior minister had this message for anyone considering flouting the rules it is not a traffic violation where on the driver is liable to be punished we are talking about a different type of offense noncompliance with the confinement troll and obviously all the people present in the vehicle will be fined that means anyone not authorized to be in the vehicle will also face

a fine of 135 years and if you court will be made to double back the advice is to continue to remain at home but as it is the holiday you can still crack open a chocolate egg perhaps 10. 40 in paris. me time from says now reported its deadliest day yet with medical staff on the front line saying they're exhausted and still under equipped hundreds of nurses are raising awareness about their lack of protection by photographing themselves naked their symbolic runs with naked against covered $191.00 of the nurses involved says the french government's putting health workers deadly risk. here's what our government has given us to fire the cove in 1000 as you can see we need a full range of necessary medical equipment so that we actually don't have to provide sufficient medical help for our patients and the risks for us as well as for them
5:07 am
the government to sas and patients and a threat we decided to perform naked as part of this campaign because our authorities leave us naked in the face of the pandemic francis no late on special high speed trains for moving infected patients between cities is to try and ease the burden on overwhelmed facilities by transferring the sick to less crowded hospitals in the train again says the country's health care systems but in dire need of for over a decade the middle east i think our interest should be represented but nobody protects us on a governmental level it is not only the current government that bears responsibility for the situation we find ourselves right now frances health care system has been a dire condition for 15 or 20 years the 5th of the 6 strongest european economy doesn't have the capability to take necessary medical measures we have to understand that you have fees these choices and you're pretty aware of that this is
5:08 am
our reality we have to choose which patient to treat. well just about every country is having a real tough time having to stay on top of the infections in ecuador there are some her rowing stories emerging the country has more than 3000 infections and 145 known fatalities so far but in one city there are reports that families are having to leave the bodies of the dead on the streets health services a so struggling to cope but the government says it is building a special facility for corona virus victims. if i brother has just died due to a response was republic he's here outside the house the police told me they cannot
5:09 am
comment collect the body and have to wait a day more with the body lying here on the sidewalk. you. were. going to get them clear. 3 that it was. terrible and that while elsewhere a member of the british science group responsible for laughing infections once the herd immunity started she should be reconsidered now that would involve allowing 60 percent of the population to get infected it had been suggested
5:10 am
a few weeks ago you may recall but they must quickly abandoned us hospitals rapidly filled up professor graeme medley says the lockdown at the moment isn't enough. this disease is so nasty that we had to suppress it completely then we've kind of painted ourselves into a corner because then the question will be what do we do now in broad terms are we going to continue to harm children to protect vulnerable people or not if we carry on with the lock down it buys us more time we can get more thought into it but it doesn't resolve any think it's a placeholder britain hours more than 38000 cases more than 3 and a half 1000 have died and other tracking solutions being floated by the health secretary there who's just recovered from the virus himself might hancock's looking at issuing immunity passports to people who've developed antibodies are looking at immunity certificate and how we can how how people who are have had the
5:11 am
disease have got the antibodies and therefore have immunity can show that and so get back as much as normal to as much as possible to normal life. but it's it's too early in the science of the immunity but the problem with that is at the moment the u.k. hasn't got any approved antibody test and health experts say it's still not clear whether or not people with antibodies are truly immune to reinfection anyway we discussed possible ways forward with the british lawyer luke get us and also liberal democrat party politician helen belcher. there is no antibody test that is functional which has been currently developed and we've got 66000000 people in the country to try and test it gets it if it's for and naturally some of them will require retesting so the practicalities of this are impossible practicalities it difficult no one claimed it's going to be easy but it can be managed you know
5:12 am
germany has implemented a system that which we are attempting to model and i think what we can't do is underestimate the economic damage of the entire population being on lockdown you know we're seeing a 1000000 new claims for social security or you quit in this country going in suggesting people are losing their jobs feel as if they're about to lose their jobs of course the government is not going to allow any system of testing there is certain but if we can get to a place where we let people return to work if they have the necessary antibodies if that is scientifically possible then in principle it's something we absolutely have to support part of the government's strategy i think is to try and make sure that we flattened much as possible but we're trying to do that at the moment without adequate testing a tool and so i would much rather government focused on getting the current tests out to everybody you need them and we need to concentrate on get solving that problem 1st rather than trying to design pie in the sky schemes around something
5:13 am
that doesn't even exist yet you can't allow that uncertainty to lull us into a state of complete inertia and i don't disagree that obviously p.p. is an absolute significant priority but we also have to recognize that getting people back to work is a priority i think one of the problems with the government messaging so far has been not giving people a sense of the way out of this what we're living with in the moment is a sort of indefinite state where people have no idea when they're going to get back to work that level of uncertainty is killing british business and it stands to do a lot more damage than the virus itself some other news kind of connected prices have rallied slightly after a glimmer of optimism in a global feud over production prices tanked as demand dried up because of the coronavirus but behind the scenes there's also been a row going on over cutting world supplies as a glut at the moment i got more on our earlier from our correspondents asking taylor. oil sucked it was already in a precarious situation and that's only been worse and by the spread of covert 19
5:14 am
but it seems that some leaders are trying to mitigate the fool out so on friday in a meeting with the country's top oil executives russian president vladimir putin suggested that he be ready to cut or oil production in a bid to try and revive price collapse we currently are seeing an 18 year low. we are in close contact with our partners in saudi arabia recently i had a conversation with the united states president we all are concerned about the developing situation everyone is interested in joint and i would like to emphasize coordinated actions for ensuring long term market stability he also did specifically emphasize the thing to be a joint coordinated effort not a case where one or 2 countries make some sort of compromise and the others just sit back and really reap the rewards a couple of weeks ago an impasse started between the world's top oil producing nations and that exactly was slashing production so prices plunged that was only
5:15 am
watson when saudi arabia decided to essentially just open its taps and flood the market and that really caused chaos and in the u.s. the dow plunged more than 2000 points the worst one day point drop ever a lot of investors repriced that a little short of the crash restart markets another 2000 point swing on the dow starting with the crude oil markets as they try to bounce back from their worst day since 1009 to one that's how we got to this moment but luckily it seems that the market is already responding quite well to this latest initiative from russia we saw in fact a record breaking percentage climb in oil prices so you stabilize ation measures will likely be the primary topic or top of the agenda after the opec plus meeting which was very hasty very unexpectedly organize. for monday and actually we're getting reports that the majority of opec members to actually support cutting down
5:16 am
on production let's go live now is the director and chief executive of the foreign exchange brokerage accessory global reverted a bros here's where the snow in italy nice to see so take the time to be with us because for a lot of people it depends a look at this on the receiving end which most people are this for a lot of people i suppose she falls a good thing isn't it was it a problem. regarding what i said cheap oil for most people i most people use it it is a good thing. well it depends on how cheap it is and that's the problem as i mentioned earlier in another interview where you guys and there is a crisis around which oil should be should be floated because. as cheap old even 18 on the w.t.r. it's a real problem and one of the media. industry media we have seen that this could cause that much of 50000000 people losing their jobs how could this be something
5:17 am
that is good for everybody. and if we look at the i think it's the estimate is even a bit optimistic because if you actually look at the old pipeline it could be much more than that could anyone going for this are we going to see savvy energy companies or maybe airlines although they're not in a position of the moment or any other cause to be stockpiling buying in advance of these low prices or not is that not an issue. you know i don't think there is anybody that could really cough it up. you know you can stop stockpile low prices like this but then you will have to problem on when you will cut should your profits is not that easy to predict and as far as i am concerned this crisis is way. way away to be so all right so i don't think it's at. this point something is to blame me or in your opinion we've heard what president putin
5:18 am
said to say iran russia is a big player he's saying it's not russia's 4 year and this big meetings happening with opec meeting so who is to blame do you think well i can say with confidence but this is you don't need really need a ph d. for that when saudi arabia. increases its production in order to let's say how much for all the others and. granted that kind of. of discount that goes by without saying it gets a lot of pressure on the on the on the projects specially if you if you look at the fact that that the money which is really what should drive everybody has been arranged by a situation people would be asking them what saudi arabia's logic than you were in these troubled times they just recently last week increase production at a time when it's selling for such a low price what's the logic of it. well again as i mentioned before is a is
5:19 am
a way to live. for it's maybe in it it was mainly directed to the russia to let's say come to an agreement on a far better car as they were seen to. be implemented during the last of the comedic things russia has thought is concerned they didn't really a bite to it they are trying to our left but again this is a buried very dangerous way to do see on of course the back burner although she got president from pondering whether or not will impose tariffs to try and get a handle on this tell us about that and also of course there's the big american shale oil production it's not too expensive to produce it well it's way too expensive but this process if you see prices like holding it on 20 is just a net loss now the u.s. can subsidize it for some time but this is not something that can sustainable in the long term so yes they will be here to they will be here they are already in the sense that now producing should always makes no sense at all prefer to believe that
