they were subject to the decisions made by the recently nowhere to put all these people they're all individuals with children the lawyers believe such stories this place has become a complete trap you have to hear all of them and to treat them with some dignity and respect. hoping the trying to use providence where covert 19 big says it's about and many restrictions on travel. clubs the rommany watching officer lines my headquarters here in doha also coming up new rules are emptying the streets of india around a 1000000000 people now and the orders to stay home. also president donald trump says he wants the u.s. to reopen for business even has the number of cases grows. we're not going to let

it turn into a long lasting financial problem started out as a purely medical problem and it's not going to go beyond that. indonesia is one of the world's largest coal exports yes but declining water quality is proving a challenge i'm just to washington in valley where local farmers and harvest is a working out a sustainable approach to revive the industry that story coming out. into the program the chinese province where the corona virus outbreak began is to lift many travel restrictions just as the rest of the world is introducing more drastic measures who pay a region of more than $60000000.00 people has been under lockdown since late january when the government shut down roads railways and ports people will soon be allowed to leave once they get

a tracking code confirming their virus free the one exception is the city of the worst affected area which will see travel restrictions lifted on april the 8th as we talk of spondon katrina you joins me now from beijing so the chinese announced that restrictions are about to be lifted at the epicenter of the outbreak but what does that mean in reality for the people across who bay and more precisely for those in. that's right so from midnight tonight people in who they can travel within the province freely there will be no restrictions on driving within the province or from the locked down period people have not been able to drive their own cars so they can drive you can enter who pay province which is different to what we had during the lockdown period nobody could come in and out and through a province so that does seem in theory to be granting a lot of freedom to people who have been in lockdown for sensually 2 months but the

reality as you mentioned so haile is very different there are many caveats it's only freedom in theory 1st of all there are still nor planes no trains and no buses publicly leaving her base you can't just decide you want to leave it and go or what you can do is potentially get on a chartered train or a chartered bus full employment purposes or if you're a migrant workers if you are a worker who traditionally works outside of who bade another factory for example you can get on a chartered bus or train to go to that factory but you must have a green card as you mentioned saying that you know proximity to the disease is quite lore and you must test negative for the current a virus now another barrier obviously is also that it's up to the provincial governments around the country in china to decide whether they will lead in people from who've a so even though the who by government has said in technical technically you can leave many provinces are still wary and they're still afraid of another wave of infections and so many provinces may not allow these buses and trains of workers

from group a in certainly beijing the capital is one case in point it's still very much off limits to anybody from who've a province so yes restrictions are easing but the reality is there are still many limitations for a residence so the statement as you say just come with cover yes let's talk about the restrictions nationwide about those who want to move around china or those who want to enter or leave. that's right so in china the local government seems to think that the epidemic in china domestic cases are down and who by we've had no local infections for the last week or so which is remarkable remarkable given that's the epicenter of the outbreak but the important cases are now the new threats are for example in beijing which receives about 8000 people coming in internationally every day from this week they've decided to divert all international flights for example if you have

a flight that's even just transiting in beijing that flight will no longer be able to land in beijing it has to be diverted to another city for all the passengers that to be purses through immigration and to be tested and if needed to be quarantined many areas in china because of the spread of imported cases hotels other businesses are becoming increasingly wary of foreigners they're putting in their own limitations on foreigners some hotels are saying they're not accepting any foreign guest a lot of offices are also doing the same even in restaurants even though this is not an official measure that's been put in place i think people are very much afraid and the government has certainly said that they're upping restrictions in terms of finding out of people have come from outside the country people activity is still very being very tightly monitored if you've left your city and you come back from some or else the government will nor and of course there are very strong measures and criminal charges even in place if your court to be being dishonest

about where you come from and also if you're caught to be concealing any symptoms so although the government is easing some of these restrictions the fear around china about a possible 2nd wave of infections is still very much alive and real questions being asked katrina about china's real economic recoveries badly hades takes some time to recover conflicting ideas about how quickly china can bounce back because it all really depends on circumstances beyond borders as well. absolutely so how so we had very strong messaging from the chinese government saying that china is only affected for the 1st quarter we're going to vallance back to the 2nd quarter the government was saying that they are they're very confident achieving the 6 percent g.d.p. goal for the entire year but that was before this virus seemed to take hold in many other countries so what we've seen some analysts are predicting that china's 1st

quarter growth could be hit by as much as 10 to 11 percent that is much more than what the government has been saying now we nor that this virus had a huge impact on china the whole of the country was at a standstill and the government has done all it can to get it back online the supply chain side of things online they're saying that up to 80 to 90 percent of all factories around the country have resumed a business of course we just heard about this could be a measure that they're trying to get people back to work but of course now that a lot of the demand side of. chinese business is affected customers in america are not going to be ordering as many products from from china american factories are not going to be asking for the same products from chinese factories so it does remain to be seen whether the government is able to achieve that and certainly they're not doing this publicly but i can imagine that the confidence about being able to bounce back that they did seem to express

a few weeks ago they may not be there really will contribute your correspondent in beijing thank you. many restrictions are coming off in china other countries are preparing for the worst most of india's states are now under lockdown nearly a 1000000000 people have been ordered to stay in their homes nationwide curfews are in place and domestic flights have been banned that's in addition to international flights india has reported more than 460 confirmed cases and 9 deaths our correspondent elizabeth problem is monitoring events across the country from new delhi those strict lock downs really beginning to take effect especially in how the transport links will work for those vital things that do need to move around the country. they are so it is the 2nd day of the lockdown and after we had problems that in the more yesterday saying that not everyone was observing it various regional leaders saying that they would

enforce it using force that is what we're seeing around the country today and it started so with about just shortly after 7 o'clock this morning we had police officers go into an area called chain bar is perhaps the most well known protest site against those on the ongoing protests against the government citizenship law as the most well known one police went in after 7 o'clock and dismantled it detaining about 9 people because people aren't allowed to gather any more and more than groups of 4 the only circumstances under which people are allowed out in many parts of the country now to get groceries to go to the pharmacy some people in banking are allowed to work and so to the health care workers and hospitals no one else's and as you said much of the country's. public transport transport system is has completely shut down indian railways passenger trains can switch in

the end of the month only. goods commercial goods and produce are being transported all buses all interstate buses and most buses in fact cancelled all metro services no taxis so of course this is having an impact not just on people getting around but all certainly while the government is trying to make sure that essential goods and produce can move we're already hearing from. you know people like vegetable vendors that they're not actually able to get as much produce as they need not just for people to survive but for themselves to survive their daily wage earners like so many in india who need to work every day to survive. the latest really or. on how states and central government are on the same page because politics is fractious and in due time of the year yet on this particular role for this particular incident of covert 19. the states are having problems are they not

trying to deal with the many people trying to get out trying to get home they can't go home because transport links are. you know the so the central and state governments are very much on the same page as as much of the country on the need for the lockdown but then we saw while most of the country was staying inside we saw these really desperate scenes in the last few days 1st of train stations and then once all the train services were suspended at bus stations as hundreds if not thousands thousands in fact of migrant workers around the country with just trying to get home these are people again many of them also daily wage as they work in different states to where they're from that were trying to get home after they could no longer work and borders were shutting and they were stranded at transport hubs state governments have started to announce financial and humanitarian assistance packages for help and all of those hundreds of millions of

indians who needed we are yet to hear from the central government about what they're going to do although in the last hour we have heard from the finance minister she said that they are working on an economic package and that she's going to address the nation in about 30 minutes but she's no more likely to announce what the government is going to do about the financial year about delaying the end of that beyond march but everyone in the country is also very much looking forward to seeing what promise in that in their more d.c.'s to the nation when he addresses the nation for the 2nd time in less than a week at 8 o'clock tonight elizabeth problem in new delhi thank you. now president all trump says he's considering how the u.s. could reopen for business as soon as possible despite to rapidly growing weight of infections he says the u.s. was not built to be shut down the economy is in turmoil with millions of americans and the shutdown told us the politicians on monday again failed to pass a trillion dollar bill to stimulate the economy hijo castro reports. the

streets of manhattan are empty reminiscent of the days after 911 but within new york's hospitals doctors say they're under siege the number of cases across the country has soared and we don't get control of this in the next 2 to 3 weeks our hospital system will be overwhelmed under mounting pressure from state governors president trump says his administration has shipped 8000000 respirator masks he's also signed an executive order to prevent the hoarding of critical medical supplies but if you are sitting on it on a warehouse with masks. surgical masks you will be carrying a knock on your door for more than 100000 americans are under orders to stay home despite the growing number of cases trump says he hopes to reopen the country soon we're not going to let it turn into

a long lasting financial problem started out as a purely medical problem and it's not going to go beyond that just not going to allow that to happen meanwhile congress remains at a stalemate over a nearly 2 trillion dollar economic rescue package the republican plan stalled by senate democrats the bill still includes something that most americans don't want to see. large corporate bailouts with no most no strings attached the government is also fast tracking experimental drug treatments one endorsed by president trump as a possible game changer against the corona virus has not been a proven effective in a clinical setting and in arizona man who self medicated with a drug to treat his corona virus has died heidi joe castro al-jazeera maryland. also ahead here on al-jazeera that is quite fun and the technology makes it easy at

increasing numbers the reality for those working for themselves and employing others is hitting hard i cried last night pretty stronger hour by hour. it's ahead as millions of schools close their doors those that rely on the education system for a paycheck of being laid off some economists are predicting unemployment rates as high as 20 percent i'm guessing somewhere between 475200 bus drivers all of a sudden not work and. that's a lot of people across the u.s. food banks a vital lifeline for those living in poverty the seeing a sharp decline in volunteers donations to a drying up and there has been actually less food as people been hoarding. that hasn't hit us as hard though as the bond here small business owners are now in a dire situation many of close that doors and don't know when they'll reopen others of late staff offer an undetermined amount of time i know now looking to the

federal government to help and 8 short term interest free loans may help for now but long term the future looks bleak plans are now in place to help but only for the next few weeks i think there's broad general agreement that small businesses in this country will not be able to survive on this was extraordinary assistance and so the the idea behind the proposal that we are finalizing now is the idea of how can we transfer money as quickly as possible to help small businesses meet payroll and operating obligations for a period of time roughly equivalent to 6 weeks the challenge for many is safely getting food for their families the small business owners it's about staying afloat in an economic crisis that's likely to get worse and gallacher al-jazeera miami florida. now the head of the united nations is calling for a global ceasefire to allow the world to focus on the fight against the pandemic our diplomatic editor james bays has more from u.n.

still help build their confidence and to start out being really skeptical about this because as an instrumental teacher you need to be there physically to have the students with the overall technique of the instrument how to position the arms and hands but being able to show them all of these details through the camera taking a bit more time for them obviously but in the end it really worked out well with classrooms emptied maybe for months parents will be supervising their children's learning a daunting task especially for those still trying to work from home most schools are providing lessons online but there is concern that not all children have equal access to computers and the internet. i miss being with my friends in that school that it quite fun and the technology makes it a lot easier as you can do you face time with the teachers and because then the

whole us for parents and carers anxious at being suddenly asked to remember their math exam knowledge decades ago the advice from psychologists is relax homes aren't much schools lots most parents aren't teachers so trying to replicate the school day as it would be is probably not going to be possible it's probably going to be something that adds to stress so if you're trying to shed you're in you know 45 minutes about 45 minutes of english 45 minutes of silence that's that's going to be really hard in a home environment partly because that's not what home is about home isn't about the same thing that schools are. just as important as staying connected with friends and playdates also going online i think i want physical education classes too with thousands tuning in from around the world to follow the same coach. playgrounds like this may lay empty for months but teachers

are still supporting their students from the far they had met there may be frustration but say the great learning happens when children are happy safe and secure and these are the most important things that parents can teach them in these uncertain times charlie hunter al-jazeera hampshire. and other world news there's been mass protests in getting after a controversial referendum in parliamentary vote opposition groups accuse president of the condo of trying to amend the constitution so he can extend his stay in office for 12 years protesters attacked several polling stations in the capital conakry delaying the start of voting in some districts. now the u.s. has to cut a $1000000000.00 in aid to afghanistan after the afghan president and his political rival failed to form a new government secretary of state might reveal apparent during an unannounced visit to kabul he strongly criticized both president garny and his rival abdullah abdullah for failing to work together and potentially threatening a u.s.

here is checking on the health of the oysters and checking their gender as well and this is just one step in a very long process but ultimately this is all about stopping overfishing and making indonesia's whole industry more sustainable. indonesia exports thousands of kilograms of south sea poles one of the world's most expensive types of poll the aim is to increase the export value with the same production rate by using sustainable methods to improve the quality of the gemstone house oysters are sensitive animals changes in temperature can create imperfect less valuable pearls . he charts or so list you know has been in the poll industry for 3 decades he says climate change makes poll farming more challenging. but if the temperature changes by just a single degree you can cause massive death it's the same in the sea so the
