now absolutely not and although earlier this week we were hearing a glimmer of hope that the united kingdom is hamas the peak of this virus region is by no means out of the danger zone but despite that as you say the u.k. is witnessing a growing number of people have been caught out in about breaking these lockdown measures that of course of the been in place now for well over a month and that really is the concern going forward as the weeks are turning into months people of feeling isolated and cooped up but plus quite crucially at this stage the weather is significantly improving across the united kingdom we're witnessing some of the hottest days of the year quite normal and uncharacteristic for what is usually quite rainy days in this april season but it's sunny and we are now seeing many people are yet again flat in these lockdown measures now these breaches actually come as the death toll remains quite high across the united kingdom the latest figures show that the numbers have cling to the 20000 mark just in the last 24 hours alone we've seen 616 deaths now as we know in the united ki

to the 20000 mark just in the last 24 hours alone we've seen 616 deaths now as we know in the united kingdom the government's policy has always been led by the medical experts and the science experts all know who say that if we relax these measures too much too soon we could even see a resurgence in this virus in fact a leading government science expects even anticipates that social distancing you know that to meet its distance will have to remain in place indefinitely until a vaccine is found available in the long run the exit from this is going to be one of 2 things ideally one of which is a highly effective vaccine in the variety of ways vaccines can be deployed or and or highly effective drugs so that people stop dying of this disease into we have those and the probability of having those anytime in the next calendar year incredibly small and i think we should be realistic about that and we're going to have to rely on other social measures well while maintaining a distance might well be well and good opposition party leaders think the united kingdom's response has been actually quite fra

we hope he lives up to that it would completely undermine the united kingdom as to who is the issuance any further if he if he did renee got but there's a committee now has to be set up to see exactly how that border on the scene will work what product can come in or not come in. other they'll be tariffs on not product or not or even for product leaving northern ireland will that have to fill in forms or will be any code applied to it we presume because of unfettered means unfettered means on shackled to us. and as far as we were concerned all the time anything produced in northern ireland could go straight into either the united kingdom or europe so commitments have been given commitments have been given but do you trust the prime minister boris johnson or do you think you might end up feeling like the democratic unionist party that you might be stabbed in the back or isn't going to want to make his own deeds and get everybody to tidy up and stroke the t.'s and dot the i's afterwards and he thinks that all is easy it's not easy it's a bit of a haywire but anyway there's supposed to be

looking at all four corners of the united kingdom in particular wales. it built the hospital's, delivered it to where it needs it most along with other key workers, we pay tribute to the fact that the uk armed forces in all four corners of the united kingdom helping to deliver the coronavirus challenge. >> let's go to liz roberts. >> one nation or region past the peak. we will see confusion and people running around and that run the risk of further infection. if the formation approach is to be meaningful, the governments must have equal say, the lockdown can only happen by the unanimous agreement of the four governments together. >> first secretary. >> paying tribute to the administration in northern ireland, scotland and wales, i am fair to say excellent cooperation between all four nations and with the current mayor of london. that is quickly important. if she looks at the social distancing measures there has been remarkable consistency in all four nations in compliance, continue to work together on a collaborative basis as we look towards the second f

in the united kingdom botts. warning is that doesn't mean that we're suddenly going to see a decline in the daily death toll because that. means the hospital admissions the people who are dying now are probably admitted to hospital a week 10 days ago. we might have to wait. week or 10 days before we start seeing the data coming down as well at the moment today the worst of the pandemic so far in the u.k. . already thanks very much indeed. in london. the use scientific chief has resigned saying he's frustrated with the blocks response to the pandemic amount of fraud he has led the european research council for just 4 months as a 4 year post he told the financial times newspaper member states had failed to coordinate on health care policies well european finance ministers they failed to agree on joint measures to counter the pandemics economic fallout and that's all for an overnight teleconference that went on for about 16 hours divided over how to share the e.u.'s financial burden estimated to be as high as $1.00

well the daily death toll across the united kingdom remains quite high and that's because the numbers are now happening towards the 20000 mark just in the last 24 hours to learn the united kingdom has seen a jump of 586 deaths the problem is that that number does not include any deaths outside of the hospital facility that's because the government here in the u.k. uses a slightly different methodology to collate the figures the latest statistics but the sadistic swatch talk is really quite concerned because they are now saying and predicting that over the last 2 week period there's actually been an additional 4300 deaths on the take up meaning the deaths could really be around the track to find out about the price of great britain turning into the u.k. ever made to be very much still it makes a dangerous start but the government boris johnson the prime minister he himself over a huge chunk of the lockdown period has himself been dealing with tackling 19 and in his absence politically we've seen it evolve nations really going their separate ways today publishing their own guidelines we

if we had about 7000, at least that in care homes, then the united kingdom hasjoined a very sad listho already have 20,000 deaths and hospitals. but unlike france, the united kingdom still does not give a daily figure four people dying either in the community or in residential care. i think that needs to change. suddenly what is not in that important article on the front page, we mustn't lose sight of it is true that scotland, wales and northern ireland seem to be very much starting to engage and explain what a lack of lockdown or less of a lockdown will look like. i think it's notjust lockdown will look like. i think it's not just about treating people like adults but... how that messaging very public sleep —— publicly. i'm sorry to interrupt you but what i have to go live to the white house now, because president trump is starting his daily briefing. let's listen. half of all americans live in states who have taken steps to open their economies. yesterday governors announced initial plans to restart certain sectors. we asked every american to maintain vigilance and hygiene, social

it's been clear for a couple of weeks now that the deaths in the united kingdom peaks are on the 8th of april certainly that's data from early tests england shows that that's the case it hasn't always been certain that was the day of peak because actually there's a large in when they deaths are reported so deaths can be coming in for a few days up to a week maybe even more after the deaths of actually occurred but it seems now if far enough away from that that there are going to be major changes in those numbers of deaths so it looks like we're going to be we're well over the peak and also suggests that we're clearly over the peak of the number of cases as well because obviously to have deaths you have to have cases of that the peak and number of cases probably a code just the day before lockdowns a lockdown seems to have had the biggest impact so it's good news we're coming we're coming down over this hell that this is not the same peak that was discussed initially when we were talking about having this epidemic going through the population uncontrolled that would just sort of burn

very different easter weekend here we are entering this week of lockdown and london and in the united kingdom and that means that people can only go to work to grocery shop to help and to exercise once a day we have put police patrolling the parks and then some cases supermarkets so it is a very very different people can see their loved ones or go to church and it's a worrying time for many brits which is why the queen addressed the nation for easter and what is believed to be her 1st easter address just within a week of addressing the nation in a special broadcast from isolation in windsor and she stressed the importance of the lockdown again of people staying at home staying put during this crisis and she said that light will overcome darkness and it just shows you how serious that the royal family is also taking this crisis into prime minister barros johnson also very personally affected at one point it looked like his life was in danger well his encounter with mortality changed his attitude towards the crisis. i think it was certainly a wake up call for the prime minister and for the coun

queen elizabeth the 2nd of the united kingdom taking. waves to the television screens all of the nation in a prerecorded message so you cite the country and in particular the n.h.s. and this type of address is really something which is quite rare from how much is the queen usually she only addresses the nation when she is giving the christmas address to the country and these types of occasions are very rare she did start by thanking n.h.s. workers who already have become popular around the country for bad dedication tried to quite code mighty at the same time that the lots of pressure on the government to increase their support in terms of protective equipment and in terms of testing clothes and h.s. stuck at the highlights just how all go how usual this address by the queen is she herself made reference to the 1st time as she addressed the nation of the young lady it reminds me of the very 1st broadcast time made in 1000 phone help to my sister we as children spent trying him in twins and to children who had been evacuated from their ho

those high-risk populations and the united kingdom's approach is a bit of a nuisance. that's also correct for which these two messages drives us to to how we respond to the vaccine and we've decided in the united states this is the best public-health approach. let's talk about that group as the young healthy middle-aged adults. it's a bit of a nuisance and of course it's a bit of a larger discussion. if it works, put it out there even though it might suffer terribly welcome even though there are problems with it. in the uk program does not discuss it and he said in the united kingdom they think about how it works and include things like does it make sense economically to do this and if you add up the numbers it doesn't make sense economically to have a big campaign when so few of them are going to end up getting sick and taking time off work. so we will just leave it with a different approach and different cultures separated. >> good afternoon. my name is eric and i'm a by the history graduate student at george mason university. i was just curious what the sampling of

the united kingdom records its worst day of the credit virus outbreak more than 500 people have died in 24. this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up allegations that doctors in spain are refusing intensive care to patients over the age of 80 as the number of infections exceeds 100000. a u.s. navy captain says the virus is spreading uncontrollably on his ship and that his calls for help are going on answered. russian president vladimir putin is working remotely after a doctor he shook hands with last week tested positive for the virus. so the u.k. is rapidly becoming one of the worst affected in europe by corona virus they have been more than 500 deaths in 24 hours for the 1st time despite comes as a 4000 bed hospital is jus to open in east london to treat covert 900 patients a temperate hospital was set up in 2 weeks governments under growing pressure to increase testing especially for its national health service staff nearly 30000 people are infected with the virus and spread away to london to downing streets where at the business sex trade. look sharma is hosting a 3 finger

in the united kingdom approach is a bit of a nuisance, that's about it, that's also correct. which of these two messages drives us is going to decide how we respond to the vaccine, we decided in the united states is cdc decided this is the enter best public health approach. i think the data as far as i read it and this is purely a personal observation, the data is in high risk groups people should get it, it's not terribly effective but it does something, and everybody else, let's talk about that group is a young healthy middle-aged adult probably does very, very little. and yet as you know beginning of august you will see signs in your pharmacy saying were ready to get the flu vaccine, come and get it. we will give you a coupon. or something like that. so two very different approaches, it's a potentially deadly disease in a nuisance and that drives how we look at the vaccine and of course this is a larger discussion with the question if it kinda works, we should use it, that's the approach for many aspects of the market health system, if it works put it out there. even thoug

the united kingdom's death toll from the coronavirus has risen by one fifth.hat it is perhaps worth reminding you it was 3305. meanwhile, in france the number of dead continues to rise, with nearly 600 deaths recorded in just 2a hours. police are strictly enforcing the government's tough quarantine measures over the easter holidays. in paris, railway stations, airports and major roads are being monitored, to prevent people leaving the city. spain has recorded its lowest number of coronavirus deaths in a week. it's the second day in a row that the daily death—toll has fallen — suggesting the outbreak there could be stabilising. a total of 809 people died from the virus in the past 2a hours — down from 932. the number of new infections was also lower than friday's figure. i want to bring you some news that has just i want to bring you some news that hasjust come into i want to bring you some news that has just come into us from a bbc correspondent that a critical incident has been declared at watford general hospital in the united kingdom. the hospital says nobo

from the department of health but it looks like at the moment 854 new hospital deaths in the united kingdom and of course that doesn't take into account the number of people who are dying out in care homes or in their own homes and those figures the whole tally for the for the country won't be known for some time yet but this looks like the situation is still getting worse in terms of daily deaths in the united kingdom thanks that update there are a challenge live from london. spain has recorded an increase in daily corona virus infections and deaths for the 1st time in 5 days now the ministry says 743 people succumbed to the virus in the past 24 hours compared to $637.00 reported on monday the rate of confirmed cases also increased slightly on the previous day while the editor has the details from madrid. we have $5478.00 new cases of corona virus in the past 24 hours leaving a total of 148510 lost cities some core of virus in spain in the past 24 hours a 4 percent increase since yesterday despite these figures we have been dismissing crease in the figures we have seen these dissolution ev

they really paint a more true picture of what is going on inside that this country incite the united kingdom how far this virus has really spread and how deadly it has been these numbers suggesting that not only vulnerable and older people are affected here and dying but also for example today this death toll included a 14 year old otherwise healthy boy well that's very disturbing you know given the spread testing in the u.k. there must be worries that the real figure is much higher yeah and those worries they are justifiable we have to say because the government has just not done testing outside of the hospitals up to this week which means that those deaths that were not tested positive for cope at 19 in the community or in care homes not recorded and officially named as death so experts know that the care homes saying that people are dying in the hundreds and thousands and that the numbers are much much higher and the office for national statistics another government body takes care of the death count here in the united kingdom suggesting even that the u.k. death toll is now at $40000.00 w

is expected to experience quite good weather the last weekend that the united kingdom experienced such good weather many people in fact flouted these lockdown measures so it really could ride on how the united kingdom responds to message of course from government is to stay at home that all of this comes as the latest figures show that there's a total of $65077.00 cases u.k. wide the death toll is now at 7009 $178.00 now this marks an $881.00 rise from yesterday which is actually yes less than yesterday's total but although the curve is flatlining slightly we are by no means past the peak and that's potentially why these measures are set to continue across the united kingdom of course just earlier today wells announcing that they would be doing so now all of this comes as the prime minister boris johnson has spent his 3rd night in intensive care being treated for covert 1000 at cent thomas's hospital here in central london the latest though from downing street via his medical team at the hospital is that the prime minister is in a stable condition his health is improving he's able to s

moving on to the independent, this united kingdom, will it fracture the uk.s is basically talking about approaches to england, wales and scotla nd approaches to england, wales and scotland and in particular what that means if restrictions remain in england and how different happy approaches and? and how people think about the three nations? we were talking about one nation and we were talking about one nation and we were talking about one nation and we were talking about nicola sturgeon about the framework for taking scotland out of lockdown. but this is something obviously we have not seen in england sell at the start of this conversation about three nations, and this framework she was suggesting may these divisions with itself, this has been a conversation that has been mentioned as well and ido that has been mentioned as well and i do not think anybody really could expect that somewhere like london could come out of lockdown restrictions in the same way that rural areas would do. but there is this sense of fracturing now and arlene foster was saying this m

we simply don't know how many people have had or have coronavirus in the united kingdom.testing, and the government is proud of the figures they're able to wheel out, but they're also yesterday struggling to explain how they haven't obtained the goals they've promised in the past. government figures suggesting that some of the modeling or some of the not quite so fast as anticipated growth in cases is "green shoots," but it's a bit of a mixed message to a population also being told to expect the very worst in the fortnight ahead here. there is optimism, possibly, that some of the earlier containment of the population, particularly the vulnerable, might keep those numbers down, but you have to say, standing inside that excel convention center, they're seeing the sheer scale of the task they've attempted. it's a bid to project confidence, but that wasn't immediately reflected in the number of beds available we saw there, possibly in the hundreds that we could lay eyes on, and they hope desperately to need very few more than that. back to you. >> yeah, and all this coming am

the united kingdom approach, it's a bit of a nuisance but that's about it, but also correct. which of these two messages drives us? it is how we respond to the yardstick. we have decided that you'd added states, this is the best public health approach. i think the data is far as i know, the data is not in high risk group, people should get it, it's not effective but it's something. talk about everybody else, the young and healthy middle-aged adults, it does very little. yet, as you know, beginning august, usc signs in pharmacy think we are getting ready to get the flu vaccine, get it. we'll give you a coupon or something like that. two very different approaches. potentially deadly disease, a bit of a nuisance and i think that drives how we look at the vaccine and of course, i think this is a bit of a larger discussion, the kind of works, we should use it. seems to be the approach of many aspects of the american health. if it works, put it out there. even though it might not work terribly well, it works, get out there. united kingdom, i talked to the chief medical officer of t

one of the united kingdom, and the second is the united states. most of them have much further to go in terms of controlling despite president trump talked about, i see further downside. apart case of the u.k., from the situation with the prime minister himself, you're looking at instability in the top levels of the government and difficulties in terms of making implementation. that i think it's also going to slow the progress, and that is not yet reflected in bond yields. down.rman bunds clearly the german economy is at a standstill. anything like -37 basis points is not enough. i would look for the yield to go down much further in the toative column, meaning -60 -70 before we settle down. alix: pivoting off of that, what do you expect out of the european finance minister meeting? are we going to get something concrete, something substantial these ad hoc, or is it going to be no real backstop? how are you going to model it? komal: i think the situation with europe's reminds me of the way the united states reacted after 2008. there is no fiscal st

you're watching bbc news, as we build up to a special broadcast by her majesty the queen to the united kingdomutbreak. our royal correspondent nicholas witchell joins me now. what can we expect to hear from the queen? two principal purposes, i would say, to reassure the nation and to rally national resolve. she's been asked to do this by the british government and i am sure that she would readily agree to that. but to put this in context, this is a broadcast without parallel. within the seven decades of her reign, because it is the forced time she would have broadcast to the country when it is the country facing a national emergency and national peril. you would have to look back really to 1940, where as a 14—year—old teenager, princess elizabeth, she broadcast herforced broadcast at the time of the blitz. —— first broadcast. she broadcast to reassure pa rents —— first broadcast. she broadcast to reassure parents separated from their parents after the evacuation from london and other cities and i think she might even refer to that and some of the similar themes. but this broadcast, written lar
