al-jazeera is not am the masi has more now on boris johnson's condition from london. the reason for his admission to hospital is the fact that he had these symptoms that were persistent over a period of time so they've lasted for about 10 days and it's not that his symptoms of necessarily deteriorated it's just that the symptoms the crowd of are symptoms a cough a fever if it does go on for a period of time then typically a patient would be admitted to hospital for the test for a blood test for a scan if something persists and that might be enough of a threshold for a hospital admission but i mean despite those reassurances that it was a precautionary measure it is going to generate a lot of concern that there will be warnings about why the prime minister is not recovering from this infection some 10 days into it and then also concerned about the timing of all of this because this hospital admission is happening just when the country is on the cusp of what is likely to be its most difficult very difficult few weeks as the struggle against the coronavirus intensifies a

by lawrence very joins us now from london let's start with boris johnson's health how is he doing. well no updates so far this morning the government minister who's been doing the media around michael gove said that he's not on a ventilator yes and one of the newspapers reported he had 4 leases oxygen which is nowhere near the maximum amount so that's potentially good news obviously there are lots of patients do have to go with a much more invasive ventilator the the problem is statistically if you go into intensive care there's a one in 2 chance that you won't come out alive but then again he's 55 he's not got any underlying health conditions he's not a smoker he's moderately space even though he's obviously slightly overweight. so you have to hope that he'll be one of those who will have some treatments and then get better and come out but it's very unsettling of i think that the country whatever political stripe you are and certainly there's an enormous amount of public sympathy not just for him but for his family as well that this is 32 year old fiance carrie simmons is heavily

care after his symptoms worsened following a night in a hospital ward johnson was moved as a precaution in case he needs a ventilator with the prime minister out of action foreign secretary dominic robb is stepping in to lead the government for a challenge reports. the news came after a day of scant information and repeated lines the prime minister's hospital stay was just a precaution said downing street boris johnson himself tweeted i went into hospital for some routine tests as i'm still experiencing coronavirus symptoms i mean good spirits and keeping in touch with my team as we work together to fight this virus and keep everyone safe but the reality was his condition was worsening later on monday doctors moved him to the intensive care unit that's in thomas's hospital in london during the course of this afternoon the promises condition worsened and on the advice of the medical team who's moved in to a critical care unit so in light of those circumstances the prime minister asked me as secretary to deputize for him when necessary and driving forward the government's plans to defeat

s prime minister boys johnson is spending a 2nd night in intensive care as the battle to cope with 19 foreign secretary dominic robb who stepped in to lead the government says johnson is stable and reports. this is where the most powerful man in britain is on the close observation downing street say the prime minister who is 55 is stable and a good spirits he is conscious and does not have pneumonia he's been given oxygen but house and been put on a ventilator as well nearby if needed. the foreign secretary dominic will stand in for jobs when necessary leading the government's daily coronavirus cabinet meeting and briefing in downing street he's an experienced politician but he's had little time to prepare it comes as a shock to all of us he's not just the prime minister for all of us in cabinet he's not just our boss he's also a colleague and he's also a friend. so all of our thoughts and prayers are with the prime minister at this time with kerry and with his whole family and i'm confident he'll pull through because if there's one thing i know about this prime minister he's a fighte

where prime minister barak's johnson is leading his 1st weekly cabinet meeting since falling ill with coronavirus he and his top ministers are on to extra pressure off the new figures released on wednesday pushed the death toll there to more than $26000.00 which is now the 2nd highest in europe after italy for more what's expected at today's meeting need is in london to take us through this i mean the prime minister coming back off his corona virus infection has just had a baby as well and now it will get serious again the real hard work. that's all right if you look at he looks like things were pretty hard for boys johnson like you said after that close stint with coronavirus recovering of course and now he has become a parent again he was hoping that this would be the start possibly of paternity leave but the country needs its chief decision maker perhaps more than ever before all we're hearing though is that there are potentially divisions within the cabinet over when and how to lift restrictions imposed johnson in his 1st job really back in the chair leading those cabinet meetings

starting to turn the tide in tackling the outbreak johnson has pledged his government will outline plans for easing restrictions but warns of the risk of a 2nd wave if this virus were a physical assailant an unexpected and invisible mug which i can tell you propose we experience it it's then this is the moment. when we have begun together to wrestle it to the floor i know it is tough and i want to get this economy moving as fast as i can but i refuse to throw away all the effort and the sacrifice of the british people and to risk a 2nd major outbreak and huge loss of life and the overwhelming of the n.h.s. for the prime minister made no mention of the various criticisms of him and his government about let's recap of what he did say medics across the country say supplies of personal protective equipment or p.p. has been insufficient the target of $100000.00 tests per day has not been met written actually tested fewer than 21000 people in the past day and there's concern the death toll is likely to be far higher government numbers refer only to hospital deaths but do not include deaths in

then when johnson fell ill his ministers faced questions on the lack of testing and. personal protective for frontline workers as well. as the larger issue of responsibility those questions were slow to count and many have missed the mark i think the journalists who have been at the press briefings could have a much better job scrutinizing the advices and the politicians you're addressing often it would be handy if they had a scientific background but i don't have scientific background to questions on the decisions which have been made the 1st job. is to question the entire press conference. kind of all get nice to be as a propaganda or exercise they keep on telling us that they are following some oil. producing the chief medical officer and the chief scientific officer in these other public officials ministers to her behind and the press corps having to die only if we go to questions from. the 1st question is from the b.b.c. . thank you very much very hard for them to ask follow proper follow up questions the entire thing is sort of structured in a way that makes pre
