fisher: we are standing near the geographical center in san antonio, texas. we are in front of what is called the spanish governor's palace in town that was set up here due to the conflict between two european empires, france and spain, in the 18th century. spain had, of course, established itself in latin america and south america and mexico and northern mexico, especially important to spain because of very rich silver mines. france was over to the northeast in louisiana. it reached up to the northern border of new spain along the red river where it was causing trouble with the indians. looking straight across the empty reaches of texas into the silver mines. the spaniards knew they had that have some sort of defense and they came upon san antonio. in 1618, 302 years ago, san antonio was established here. the first challenge they faced was getting water. the first thing the priests did was to build a church. the second thing they did was set up a water system. in texas, you have rivers, but you do not have a lot of green fertile areas. to address that, they d

so the geographic footprint, by definition, is essential for these to work. and frankly, even if i come up with a rule for the entire state, people will drive to new jersey, or connecticut, or pennsylvania, and that's why the first ever we have this statewide coalition, and i want to thank connecticut governor ned lamont, and new jersey governor phil murphy very much, and pennsylvania governor tom wolf, who've been great colleagues and i thank them very much. andrew cuomo: again, i'm asking all businesses to work from home, but today we are announcing a mandatory state wide requirement that no business can have more than 50% of their workforce report to work outside of their home. no more than 50% of the workforce can report for work outside of the home. that is a mandatory requirement. i'm going to do that by executive order and that is statewide. that will exempt essential services, meaning food, food delivery pharmacies, healthcare, shipping, supplies, etc. society has to function. people stay at home, people still need to be able to order food, etc., they

spread of the geographical clusters of this disease in spain is there a pattern for me until i know madrid has got the largest number of cases. yes madrid has at least 3600 debt all nearly there have 50 percent of the nation wide and talk has become the envy center also catalonia is following but quite far with 1300 of death at all and then we have. a theory on the basque country but they are quite quite far away from the dramatic situation but greatest living today we've seen how an ash and i and i street was set up as a more as a funeral home because it couldn't cope when the music was a funeral home with a cost we've seen many field hospitals like the $1.00 in the exhibition center of event when when the army build it in 24 hours and we see how they're overwhelmed they don't have the protective gear they are they are collapsing they got not protocol so people and nurses are as sorry doctors and nurses health care workers are demanding an immediate supply of all the protecting the protecting near mattera thank you very much indeed for talking to us and giving us the very latest fr

are shutting down but yulian papa vinterberg top weather expert is looking on the bright side the geographer runs his own weather service just for this region and operates about 40 survey stations. he believes the current mild weather has less to do with climate change and global warming than with natural fluctuations which have always existed. believe me you don't actually much here we live in a climate zone that strongly influenced by the atlantic ocean to top of what happens on the atlantic has a big effect on us. that means and winters where the atlantic is calm cold winters . vinta. he doesn't foresee warm weather putting an end to winter sports in the central uplands any time soon. as it is we don't expect a repeat of this winter it's an exception it's warm and changeable phases of the next winter to be significant in colder snowier that's what we expect will happen. and many inventive book share his optimism including nico bling to man still he's been making provisions for years and that along with the ski lifts and ski rentals he also runs a hostel the bookings from schools and clubs

with the geographer. she lives in windsor ontario. she recently got married. i think that was before she got married for the second time. very intense looking. she is very passionate it was the same idea. she wanted to find bodies in the permafrost. she read a book called america america's forgotten pandemic and she was just truly moved to tears she said by the story. and she said here was the geographer. i don't know where she went to school. i know you mentioned in the book the university of windsor. and so she said i think i can find some bodies in the permafrost. they were to scan a go up there by themselves and not tell anybody. he was never to tell a soul because he did not want eskimos to be part of the media circus. they wanted to make this something everybody knew about that they would all understand. the urgency for doing this. she was not want to unleash an epidemic of the world. she started in the 1990s as well. i cannot remember the exact years. >> the article came out when. >> etiquette was 97. did she know about the science article. she did not k

the geographic footprint by definition is essential for these to work. frankly, even if i come up with a rule for the entire state, people will drive to new jersey or connecticut or pennsylvania, and that's why the first ever, we this statewide coalition. i want to thank connecticut governor ned lamont and new jersey governor phil murphy and pennsylvania governor tom wolf who have been great colleagues. i thank them very much. again, i'm asking all businesses to work from home, but today we are announcing a mandatory statewide requirement that no business can have more than 50% of their workforce report to work outside of their home, no more than 50% of the workforce can report for work outside of the home. that is a mandatory requirement. i'm going to do that by executive order, and that is statewide. that will exempt essential services meaning food, food delivery, pharmacies, health care, shipping supplies, et cetera. society las to function. people stay at home. people still need to be able to order food, et cetera. they need to be able to shop. so yo

in regional none of these policies work unless the geographic area is an area that works. i have spoken to the governor of new jersey, the governor of connecticut, about the actions we are taking today. i'm going to speak with them later this afternoon. we have been coordinating, to the greatest extent possible. and they are going to be considering these policies, which again are very dramatic. i said i would like to do it in coordination. i understand we have somewhat of a different circumstance in new york, but they are considering it. in new hampshire and delaware -- the states we are working with. again, you have businesses in new jersey. if they don't close, and their workers are driving into new york, businesses in connecticut stay open -- you need new yorkers to drive up to those businesses. best.al action is the we are talking. i will speak with them later today. the number of cases -- you can see why we have taken these tomatic actions, positive up 7000, including 900 positive cases. thate told you in the past the number of cases is relative to the number of tests.

these stakeholders include the geographical combatant commands and the security operations officers at embassies, the state department's political affairs bureau. the sea ranges from dod wide guidance for the execution of its security assistance and security cooperation programs. for example, while dsc is not directly in the screening or vetting of international military students, the agency issues policy and procedural guidance that requires international military students to receive security and medical screening in their home countries. however, due to this unique nature of individual nature of our bilateral relationships, each u.s. ambassador determines the local security screening processes for their individual post. meanwhile, any student who comes to the united states under one of these programs is also screened and vetted to determine their eligibility for a u.s. visa. the visa application process includes screening against bio graphic and biometric databases, and at 37 posts worldwide, including those in saudi arabia, screening by an immigration and customs enforcement, homela

what about the geographical spread? we can take a look at a map. the country. the dots are showing roughly the number of cases, scotland about the hundred and 70, northern ireland, 80, wales, 170, but what stands out is london. you would expect that. 16% of people live in london but this represents 44% of cases, so the epidemic is really concentrated in london and it wasn't as bad last week, it was just under a quarter then, so london is pulling ahead of then, so london is pulling ahead of the rest of the nation. the time is 17 minutes past one. our top story this lunchtime: your nhs needs you — the government calls on retired doctors and nurses to come back to work and help fight the coronavirus outbreak. seperating fact from fiction — the dangers of misleading advice online about coronavirus. coming up on bbc news, the rugby season in england draws to a close, as the rfu confirms that all levels below the premiership will end their campaigns early, in response to the coronavirus outbreak. the olympic flame has arrived injapan but there are growin

that reduces some of the need for the geographics, to go online. but we're very concerned about what facebook -- we told them to take down that site. to take down that site. it's a lie and it undermines who we are and it may be good for their profits but it's not what counts for us in the census. sadly, we have more concern about moving on to the coronavirus, we have more concerns about additional awareness, anyway, of the spread of it. i don't know if there are additional cases or we're just learning more about what is out there. some loss of life. very sad. but we really have to -- we're very proud that yesterday we came to the floor, had a very strong bipartisan piece of legislation, much improved on what was sent to us originally in terms of the appropriation of the coronavirus. and -- but again, except for -- i think it was only three who voted against it, strong bipartisan support, which shortly will be voted upon in the senate, sent over. we'll have a signing ceremony, send it over to the president. as go forward, we have to just stipulate t

the one. timbuktu's importance stems from its geographical location. on the banks of the niger river its port became a center for transferring luggage and goods to and from the north. this natural crossroads occupied a strategic position in the transparent trade. the money empire which the baggers traded with enjoyed abundant wealth thanks to the bomb book and were a mines it possessed the world's largest gold reserves more than half of the precious metal circulating in the mediterranean originated from these deposits. are throughout the history of the trade between north and south for the. slaves who are. there. and gold was always in the soft one feeds the other made with love i do know of no necessity of the good gold mining an african societies was mainly done by captives the gold trade and slavery were closely linked. while i believe that gold may have predated slavery up with the chronology is unclear it's usually said that both grew in significance of the same time don't they don't have it slavery was in fact hidden behind the gold trade. if it d

the last time i checked, the media mob had no problem calling any of those diseases by their geographicalocation. what are we going to change the name of the spanish flu now and german measles now? it's pretty normal to identify disease by geographic location. according to the mob, democrats, and coincidentally the communist party of china -- that is not racist, out-of-bounds. old presidential candidate, racism expert elizabeth warren, better known as pocahontas, blurted out the word in chinese. it's inaccurate and considered stigmatizing. they said the travel ban was stigmatizing. that was dumb too appear day after day, night after night for weeks you have the mob, fake news cnn, state run conspiracy tb msn dnc, others have been using covid-19 just to bludgeon and smear the president. it's the next russia, russia, ukraine, ukraine, impeach, impeach. it's repulsive, that's who they are. "the new york times," what did they say? the trump virus. if you're feeling awful, you know who to blame. the "los angeles times," cnn, "the washington post," trump's katrina. really? other people say trum

amna: the polical landscape in california changes with the geographic landscape. idates can't camsaign here the way they did in early states. they have to be strategic. >> california is hard to move the needle. amna: paul mitchell ishe vice president of political data inrporated. he says california's 53 distinct chances to pick up53 delegates. >> we have districts thatxi are zing the coastal vote, maximizing theic a-american or latino vote or asian te. even the lgbt population vote. it has created this opportunity for candidates to come in, to be able toarget ctain congressional districts. in the central valley, if youan are the fourthd presidential candidate and you show up to a barbecue, it is big news. amna: another factor to , considmassive early voting and mail-in voting means momentum from earlier states is muted here. 5% of california's democratic electorate had voted before bernie sanders was named the winner in new hampshire. and a likely 40% before voters in south carolina brought joe biden's campaign back to life. does that mean the contest in california

considering the geographic spread and the number of cases that have increased in the past two weeks, we should double down. we should be more aggressive. that is what we are saying. >> thank you very much. we will call on christopher from rwanda. can you hear us? >> yes, i can hear you. thank you very much. i have a couple of questions. to give us an --rview [indiscernible] can you hear me? may i go ahead? >> can you try one more time? please go ahead. we heard something about preparedness. repeat your question please. give us anou to overview of the preparedness -- [indiscernible] availability in africa. is --ly, there [indiscernible] this is affecting people's willingness to take preventative measures. what are your comments on this? thank you. >> thank you. -- actually africa in general has made rapid progress in its general levels of preparedness over the last eight weeks. all countries in africa have the capacity to make the diagnosis. some are demonstrating that through the diagnosis of covid-19 cases. a lot of systems in africa have been turned towards detecting. referencek of

we are trying to have facilities all around the geographic location experiencing the increase. we are also making another shift where we go to covid only hospitals, where people in those hospitals will just have the covid virus, so the staff there is basically working with one type of issue, as opposed to a normal hospital setting, where you could have people with heart ailments and other medical issues. on top of them, the covid patients -- the health commissioner has given us good advice. it is smarter to keep the covid patients separate. you don't want a person going into the hospital with one situation developing covid because they happen to be exposed. this is smart, and i will isolate -- and we will isolate 600 beds just for this treatment. square,ach, westchester and soon downstate, which is in brooklyn. this shows you the coverage we will have when all of this is said and done. you will see it is equally distributed, and it is significant. in truth, many locations have been constructed, adapted, modified, and it has been done in a short period of time. all of this in co

risk appetite protection from prosperity and then with the dynamism and with that sharp decline the geographical mobility is another reason to worry about dynamism. the body of work is going beyond purpose and structure , et cetera i strongly agree on page 135 but the government needs to do more to those who need it most. but the first disagreement you don't have to be a fan see government as he appears to be to be anti- populist and then to have a dim view of government bureaucrats relatively straightforward so it seems to me that it takes to to tango. the government can provide insurance, human capital and to reword risk taking and hard wor work. i prefer to think of the role of the market in the government to balance your way across the fallen long one - - log. thinkingou of way that sometimes with the future and then with risk-taking i'm reminded of a conservative chancellor in the uk who had a very strong free-market argument for socialized healthcare but the great thing is you never have to worry where the healthcare comes from. but you could have a strong and active government and i would

i believe in regional actions, none of these policies work unless the geographic area is an area that works. i have spoken to the governor of new jersey, governor of connecticut about the actions that we're taking today. . i'm going to speak with them later this afternoon. we have been coordinating to the greatest extent possible. and they're going to be considering these policies, which again, are very dramatic and i said i would like to do it coordination. i understand we have somewhat of a different circumstance in new york, but they are considering it. we have added pennsylvania and delaware to the states we're working with. and again, you can have businesses in new jersey, if they don't close then their workers are driving into new york. businesses in connecticut stay open, you need new yorkers to drive up to those businesses. so, regional action is the best. we're talking. i'll speak with them later today. the number of cases and you can see why we've taken these dramatic actions. total positive up to 7000, 2900 new positive cases. now i've told you in the past that the number o

. >> we are standing near the geographical center of san antonio, texas. we are in front of what's called the spanish governor's palace in a town that was actually set up here due to the conflicts between two european empires, france and spain in the 18th century. spain had, of course, established itself well in latin america and south america and in mÉxico and northern mexico was especially important to spain because rich silver mines. france was over to the northeast in louisiana and it was up -- reached up to the northern border of new spain along the red river where it was causing some trouble with the indians and looking straight across the empty reaches of texas into the -- the silver mines down in texas and elsewhere. the spaniards knew they had to have some sort of defense and they came up on san antonio and so in 1618, the 302 years ago, san antonio was established here. the first challenge they faced was getting water. the first thing the priests did when they set up a community like san antonio was to build a church, but the second thing they did

how confident are you on the start dates for each curve for each of the geographical areas that the president seems to be indicating we'll be adjusting the policy for? >> so that's a very good question. what we do know is now we can backtrack from people who get very seriously ill to when they probably got infected. this is when they were exposed. so when you start backing out each of those pieces, when you start seeing hospitalized patients, you know that the virus has probably been there for three to four weeks, substantially circulating within the population. so that's what we're looking for. now, as all of our testing is improved and we want to applaud the group that has worked on it, if you look at the pandemic flu preparedness, all of this was built on a flu platform. it was never, ever thought that you would have a simultaneous respiratory disease hitting at exactly the same time as your flu hits in the country. and so when you're doing all of your flu surveillance, you could have small cases of these pneumonias and flu-like illnesses characterized as a flu-like illness for the last fo

. >> the beauty of our model is we're trying to break down the geographic here to real estate investments you could be sitting in japan, south korea, or berlin buying homes here in the u.s. and the idea, when we started, was much more of a domestic violence model. but the idea, you could be in the city of seattle, the bay area buying homes in less expensive markets in the u.s. that have better economic returns from a yield standpoint. we're just now taking it to a little broader focus now. it's happening naturally where people around the world are discovering that u.s. housing is a pretty interesting place to be. >> and you are seeing the increased traffic from a lot of foreign investors on your website. is that translating into an increase in sales? >> yeah, it's just starting to. it typically takes about a month, four to six weeks of people shopping around. we have several hundred homes for sale at any given time. and people tend to do a little shopping and start making offers on properties. and that's starting to happen. >> that just gonna make things tougher for folks here looking for

none of these policies work unless the geographic area is an area that works. i'm going to speak with him later this afternoon. we have been coordinating to the greatest extent possible. and they're going to be considering these policies. which again are very dramatic. in us and i would like to do it in coordination. i understand that we have someone of a different circumstance in new york. but they are considering it. knowing that in pennsylvania and delaware to these states we are working with. and if they don't close, their workers are driving into new york. and businesses in connecticut, stay open in a new yorkers to drive up to those businesses. we are talking and i will speak with him later today. the number of cases, and you can see why we are taking these dramatic actions, up to about 7000 on positive in 2900 new positive cases. now how i have told you in the past, the number of cases is relative to the number of tests. i have also said the new york has been very aggressive about increasing a number of tests. we went to the federal government and we aske

the loss of this is particularly unique for northern ireland which finds itself in the unique position geographicallye dodds, the dup economy minister said maintaining air connectivity between northern ireland and great britain is absolutely vital and sinn fein have said this loss is devastating for businesses, for the economy and of course more commuters. many people commute to other parts of the uk every week, and students, there are 17,000 northern irish students based studying across the uk, some in places that are only served by air, by flybe, so overall this is usually damaging for northern ireland, because other viable transport options are really not available. this ceo of belfast city airport has said the 14 roots here are all profitable and strong and they expect some good news in the next couple of days, or even sooner than that, for all of the people that work here and use belfast city airport. staff from the administrators are sitting at the check—in desk giving advice to flybe customers and a sign of how quick and unforgiving this process has been is that the flybe signs on the walls be

we know the populations that are at the greatest risks, we know the geographic areas that are at the risks, why would you shut down kansas in manhattan and on and on. the scientific approach, the rational approach is the data we can trust, the data we have, use it and yet he still getting this resistance. >> the president has called himself a wartime president. i think he's right, he is a wartime president at least he's fighting an invisible enemy and as you know, presidents during wartime have to make very difficult decisions. it's a difficult decision to send 20000 people, americans into battle and things like that nature. we need to look very smartly at these choices, and i'm here to tell you, this idea that liberals are talking about will just keep the economy shut down until we solve every case of this, who by the way is being most devastated by this economic shutdown? >> right. i thought the left cared about the lowest income people. if you're making 18, $20 an hour and y l do for those people. the wall street journal had a fascinating front page story. mark: will get to that i

you had to have been in contact with someone or very close to the geographic area of the virus, it doesn'tare, you can get a test. >> who do i -- >> you know, you have to take it on a state by state basis. the one thing die advise and i've said this in -- i do thinks and i've said this in multiple hearings, we have to start implementing both containment and mitigation. and what was done when you close the school is mitigation. we've got to try as best we can to distance ourselves from each other. particularly if you're in a group at higher risk, if you do get infected, you'll have a complication, and those are the elderly, heart disease, lung disease, kidney disease, diabetes, particularly among those, if you're elderlily with that, the point i was trying to make is we don't want to wait until we get a lot of infections. sometimes, whether it be maryland or whatever they did you make a decision to do something and someone might say are you overreacting? we've got to lose that. we've got to start looking at doing things now in anticipation of what might happen. and the reason is, if you loo
