and yes of mileage but it doesn't matter where you are you have to be able to relate to the human condition i'm just trying to break their way. bill because i'm like and it's my job to shed light on how and why. hello i'm convinced this is the new zoloft from dog coming up in the next 60 minutes the growth of virus death toll in spain rises again with more than 800 fatalities in the last 24. remembering their days china pays tribute to its thousands of corona virus victims . americans are recommended to wear masks to stop the spread of coronavirus spots

the u.s. president says he won't be that advice. but the i.m.f. raising concerns of the developing countries medical needs help workers in pakistan and desperate for more protective gear. and in sport further talks are taking place to discuss english premier league footballers taking a cut the deal is being negotiated that will see players' salaries produced by 30 percent. and new numbers have just been released from spain more than 800 people have died there in the past 24 hours from corona virus but that is about 120 few if they tell us he's compared to the day before more than 11700 people have now died in spain since the outbreak began the number of new infections in spain contin. used to rise

with nearly 125000 confirmed cases meanwhile the us cent is for disease control is urging people to wear face masks to reduce the chance of infection a reversal of previous official advice the u.s. government is also promising to pay for tests and treatment for tens of millions of americans who don't have medical coverage or than 250000 americans have been infected the head of the international monetary fund meanwhile has described the pandemic as humanity's darkest hour krista lena says it's pushed the world into recession and she's called on advanced economies to help developing countries about 2 correspondents live with us this hour that. is with us from tehran that go 1st though to moscow editor who is standing by for us in madrid moscow just bring us up to speed on these latest numbers and also put them in context for us if you can in tens of the trend that we're seeing. yes well 124000 people infected with 7000 new cases that have just as positive of call it 19 that dental

running over 11800 you put talent east in the past 24 hours we have to say that this is the lowest number since last week the last number of fatalities since last week so we see a slowdown in the number of infections so these figures are reflecting a change in the trends since last week and so as health minister pointed out yesterday we might be entering a phase of established several ish sation and we might be reaching the famous peak of the curve despite all these speakers the minister also aware that he might recommend all the population nationwide using the masks what's clear is that isolation measures are reflecting are reflected in these figures and prime minister better slanted that today's holding a meeting with the experts. following the tracking the the outbreak of fear and a virus crisis in spain he might take the decision to extend that

a state of american suit lockdown measures 15 days more so we could go up to april 26th. that that is occurring years i soon though the need for personal protective equipment is still very high in spain tell us about where that is that in terms of other requirements being met and also penny spain is accusing turkey of hijacking in an order of some sort what can you tell us about that. well there's a plane that was bringing 150 ventilators to spain these ventilators were bought 3 weeks ago since then turkish customs have been holding. all these ventilators and despite all the efforts of the foreign affairs minister on as spanish embassy in turkey to bring all those speculators to spain the turkey has seized all the special interest coming from china what they were going that were going through and

got out so we don't know how this is what the situation is right now but ventilators are in turkey turkey is saying that they want to leverage those ventilate just in case they need them so far enough our ministers say that they cannot do nothing else to to bring those ventilators back to spain. there live from madrid. joins us now via skype from tehran and i believe some new numbers have come out there in iran what sort of picture they painting. well the latest figures from the health ministry are that in the last 24 hours we've seen $158.00 new reported deaths from the corona virus this is the largest it's been in recent days we've also seen $22560.00 new cases so that is lower in terms of overall infection rate that we've been we've seen in recent days but the numbers are staying steady and this is happening at a time when the nauru's holiday period has ended and what we're seeing on the

streets of tehran is that people are beginning to come out of their homes they are beginning to return to work there is more traffic on the roads people are opening shops and businesses despite the fact the government state or stay at home order or stay at home suggestion to its people remains in place the health ministry has said that this is a worrying sign that they understand that people need to go back to work that they need to continue to carry on with their lives to be able to make money to pay their rent to be able to purchase food and just to go on living but they have said that this is a worrying trend and if it continues that we could see a 2nd wave of this infection and they've warned against people starting to emerge into their normal routine they're saying that the trend of people going to hospital for corona virus has not gone down and we are not out of the woods yet however in iran we are seeing people trying to return to their normal lives thank you for that update that would situation in iran and then the strategy. sirens sounded across

china to mark the so-called moss's day. millions from beijing to rouhani and hundreds of other towns and cities then stood in silence to honor the more than 3000 people who have died from the corona virus outbreak they're trying to claims to have now curbs the spread of the virus and some restrictions have been tightened to prevent a 2nd wave of infections there have been 82000 confirmed cases in china but most have already recovered contribute has more now from beijing this is to really to remember the lives of those who have lost their life to covert 19 here in china more than 3000 people according to official figures and it's also to honor the lives of 14 health workers doctors and nurses who have been designated as national marches who will who lost their lives while they were treating coronavirus patients mostly in who bay province and that list includes dr lee when lee young who was

famously one of the 1st whistleblower doctors to call attention to the outbreak late last year when it was 1st beginning now this is the 1st time that china has held such a such a day for a public health disaster this is previously only happened because of natural disasters such as earthquakes. as i mentioned earlier health officials in the u.s. announced new guidelines on the use of face masks to halt the spread of the virus the president trump says he has no intention of following them around a quarter of a 1000000 people in the u.s. to confirm to be infected she had tons he has. all week have been reports of a debate within the u.s. government on whether to recommend the use of non-medical cloth mosques whenever people go outside and on friday the decision was announced the c.d.c. is advise in the years of non-medical cloth face covering as an additional voluntary public health measures almost immediately donald trump undermining the

advice. but this is voluntary i don't think i'm going to be doing it. authorities hope the public weren't mistake this advice their permission to wear specialist masks which should be reserved for those treating the infected and we do they feel the longer feel they need to stay in isolation the president also issued an order preventing the export of personal protective equipment such as and 95 masks to ensure the u.s. a supply of over troubles i suggested that such exports may be up to his discretion in italy if spain who has big problems is have these are countries with tremendous problems friends' if they ordered if they have long term orders and they're in there and they want to get certain things i've let them go out in certain instances because i think it's only fair there are fears that if the u.s. prevents exports of people need to latin america and counter frontline workers will have the protection that they need to deal with the pandemic and that other

countries may limit their exports of essential equipment to the u.s. perhaps the most startling announcement was that tens of millions of people in the u.s. without any medical coverage will have their bills directly paid by the government today i can so proudly announce that hospitals and health care providers treating uninsured corona virus patients will be reimbursed by the federal government. despite raising hopes that he was brokering some sort of deal between saudi arabia and russia to reduce output and stabilize oil prices doldrum seem to be leaving the issue up to market forces they'll figure it out for free market will figure out a girl ear trumpet hosted several c.e.o.'s from u.s. energy companies but they were putin and said he would be willing to reduce oil output if it was in coordination with a reduction in u.s. output but from trouble statements on friday it seems he got no such agreement she every time see al-jazeera washington. but more ahead on the news hour including.

they had access to medical equipment things and i'll take it. is the u.s. government hijacking much needed medical equipment destined for other countries we'll hear the denials. and stay at home please how is the reasons being to celebrate the holy month of ramadan differently this year. and sport the german football players keeping their distance so they can get back to training. what's being called a bidding war to buy personal protective equipment is being waged between countries and even cities scrambling to obtain masks and other medical equipment to any way they can because of the walled wide supply shortage so her it has the story. there's not enough protective gear to go around countries are scrambling to get

hold of supplies especially face masks and just soon as possible but some governments are being accused of using unscrupulous tactics and paying inflated prices to get their share. and then is accusing the u.s. of carrying out a modern piracy of bangkok said ports and diverting a shipment of mass destined to germany for itself then these are marked the must marked of the whole world is buying them right now it's worth gold at the moment it's sometimes very very difficult to plan things in advance and that sometimes deliveries that were thought to be secured suddenly don't arrive as planned. the heads of 3 regions in some of the west's hit coronavirus areas in france have accused the united states of affectively hijacking millions of mosques to shanghai airport they were made in china and destined for france then it's alleged the us paid $3.00 to $4.00 times the going rate to obtain the u.s. denies the allegations but it's need as great. as the more than

a 1000000 people diagnosed with the virus globally the u.s. has the highest number of infections and like many other countries is struggling to find enough protective equipment donald trump is under pressure new york and at the center of the virus will run short of ventilators in a few days. despite u.s. strange relations with russia and china president donald trump says will take whatever he can get was a very nice offer from president putin i spoke to him the other night as a job and they had access to medical equipment things and i'll take it i'll take it i think it's very very swift action from china we also help other countries a lack of mosques and ventilates is meant to us states are in a price bidding war against each other to replenish dwindling supplies the federal emergency management agency or fema says a black market has emerged some equipment made in u.s. factories being sold to pooled brokers come in their bidding and bidding on always

different people driving the price up and guess what you know where it's going that domestic sources here are being export. across the border canada is investigating reports that one of its orders was diverted to the us i've heard reports on this issue and of course there are concerning we need to make sure that the equipment that is destined for canada gets to and stays in canada and i've asked ministers to follow up on these particular reports we are working not just here at home but overseas as well to ensure that the equipment that canada has ordered makes its way to canada. to start slow some governments have been accused of using a number of toxics including stockpiling medical supplies blocking exports to take to put meant and seizing shipments transiting through their territories to other countries fighting covert 19 is a race against time and with a global shortage of facts reproduced protective gear some are resorting to making

their own mess instead of waiting. al-jazeera. healthcare workers in pakistan are calling for the government to do more to help them find the virus many cities are locked up and the prime minister has urged people to practice social distancing the critics say that's not enough charles traffic reports. these policemen in the city are lucky to have protective clothing . health workers demand government health police and security forces are having to focus less on fighting crime and more and stopping the spread of covert 19 and a lot of the book to give. the. work. in this is. for didn't want to see if you want to follow. the streets of bashar or in the northwest of pakistan

virtually empty police used a loud hailer has to urge people to stay at home. government spending on health care. pakistan's 225000000 people has been less than one percent of g.d.p. in recent decades hospitals are often significantly ill equipped and overcrowded the best of times are those coded 19 spreads desperate attempts are being made to prepare health facilities to cope with the rising number of infected people use holiday met it's what are your health professionals the frontline force against covert 19 but unfortunately we are going to fight this battle without any protective gear it's of the utmost importance for us at arms and ammunition for military when they were going to a battlefield and it would be considered a suicide if we fight without proper kits dr osama was the 1st doctor in pakistan to be killed by the virus he'd been treating coheed 19 victims many who had arrived

from neighboring iran she being one of the worst hit countries it's not known how many health workers have been infected across pakistan many with since exhorting florentine yourself why so late to islamist if you but don't you the government is least concerned about the safety of mrs their wellbeing or even as they pay a wide role in health care and sadly this one knows for 99 patients on normal days and if the situation gets out of control how they going to cope so they must tell you more nurses to tackle this crisis china has sent medical equipment across the border the help is vital but nowhere near enough. this hospital police gave a go out of only to show respect to start and to try and boost morale. for the medics here and it's hospitals across pakistan did not take hold in several to save

lives charles stratford i just. the un has warned struggling health systems the developing countries are likely to be overwhelmed during the pandemic highly populated cities with poor sanitation are especially at risk up to 75 percent of people in the least developed countries lack enough soap and water for even basic kinds as i've been reporting countries who can't afford them quickly snapping up supplies the u.n. says distribution must be coordinated with vulnerable nations the i.m.f. and the world bank have announced $1100000000.00 in emergency funds to $25.00 developing countries across asia africa and latin america. dr chris christie who is a surgeon and international president of doctors without borders he joins us now on skype from london really good to have you on the program 1st off one of the countries that you think we really need to be looking out for that are particularly vulnerable right now. you really see the whole episode now

was. brought to us of course to the south and to the most important thing to do at the moment these 2 phone calls and what is going to happen next which is going to be played out with most of the great the population and those places where the most bands of commissions be done in south. africa i do worry a lot of places in middle east so this is where we should focus with all our airports as humanitarians is it a foregone conclusion you think that developing nations are going to be overwhelmed by coronavirus or is there a window of opportunity. we need to find a window of opportunity however i don't see something of them home and however to need important is not to to look at maybe opportunities old times is the look at the reality and the reality says that the problem is also may be portrayed so we

need to focus our efforts and maybe then what you call a window of opportunity is to work closer with the communities do you really see the international community stepping up here i mean as we've been reporting countries around the wilds are fighting over access to personal protective equipment for their own countries do you really see them stepping in to help these low income developing nations. that's true. of all men we have to do a couple of things we need to scale it to scale the manufacturing capacity of all the states have made this in some of the medical material and while we expand the supply we also have to guard against this nationalistic the sperm seeds that we have witnessed so far that hold the medical supplies and we need the exports in other words we have to go for the national research collaboration called the nation

that is needed urgently and the problem that we face and which we as a medical team and they are going to see some of the moment and for several weeks now a lot of the constrains that have been increasing the. great become like them and correctly said. force them foremost these are they that p.p. is the perfect person on the keeper and we cannot mobilize any of all the supplies from europe for instance and for men to come and humanitarian purposes these bombs need to be with their own. we talk about the lack of preparedness of health care systems in developing countries what about you know the potential social and economic fallout in these countries will it be greater well the impacts the grace to the countries that are still developing it's difficult to say what exactly is going to happen but they have the same modeling in my mind as you have. to me what

that counts more is to others then based on very specific contexts how to lead. those measures and those approaches that can work but that may be a very intensive hospitalized approach that the we have been spain or the need to me is not the case in some other places in the horn and working closer with a community where we promote healthy socially better informed but few listen and we start isolating contact tracing those cases that. would be much more effective by developing a few more beds in i.c.u. use in the city hospitals that they rarely exist really good to get your take thank you time dr krista international president of doctors without borders thank you very much. france is rolling out emergency measures to help small businesses survive if the boost includes tax relief and a solidarity fund but some business owners fare that won't be enough to reopen

their doors once the lockdown as of the reports. before the lockdown in france abdul as worked on 3 building sites in the paris region an electrician with his own business he was in demand but since the french government ordered people to stay home to stem the spread of the coronavirus he's had to stop work now he's worried about the future. the longer it takes to return to work the harder it will be because we'll need to restart the building sites the work the materials will the suppliers be available will they have the material needed in construction you're not paid for 60 days so even if we started again in may we not be paid until july and we have bills to pay abdul knows wife salema is also concerned she's had to close her fashion shop in central paris and says even before the lockdown her clients began to stay away. have come up at. the coronavirus has had

a huge impact on the shop and my clients were very scared and didn't come so our income plummeted our regular clients disappeared and the tourists so economically it's a huge impact and i'm scared of the future. on the cities near empty roads some taxi drivers continue to work but passengers are rare. in a 10 hour shift i've only had 5 passengers it covers my costs but i'm earning nearly nothing at all in fact i'm losing money but what's going to do as people stay home across france shopping streets a quiet and businesses closed people have lost trade jobs income and certainty about their future the french government says that because of the coronavirus crisis the country faces a recession but it will try and support businesses. and companies with a range of measures including interest free loans and special bonuses are 4 of us for the 1st time since the period after the 2nd world war we have launched

a system of temporary unemployment benefit to avoid mass job losses like most people in france the lima is getting used to confinement but as the weeks pass she wonders when it will end and whether the financial support being offered by the government will be enough to revive a business she's devoted herself to the needy 2 decades natasha butler al-jazeera france. listen now for the weather has jenny and it's warming up in europe it is a very nice weekend i should say across central west as yes i definitely feeling very much like spring for a little bit warmer than we normally see this time of year here is the satellite you can see all these case guys so there's an idea as to where the high pressure will be we've also seen some good skies across northern spain you can see here but a cloud above that but for the most part the sunshine has been coming through we have also had a will still house a fairly strong winds across northern europe so this is just off the coast of latvia in the gulf and the winds are going to stay fairly strong there but as i say

what we have is the dome of high pressure in place across the central western areas that is keeping hold of this rain and all of these winds well at bay want to sheilds into portugal we have got a system as well continuing to sit across the greece pushing into western turkey but really for the bulk of the continent it is fine and dry and so time which is about on saturday but sunday is definitely a warm day the sunshine really gets going later in the day so temperatures into the low twenty's in paris and this really is above the average this just shows you the heat progressing throughout the day and you can see here these warm shades shall we say these woman yellows and oranges indication where the mild air was going to be in place in fact these temperatures are above the average so this is london as we go through sunday monday and cheesy but actually sunday is the warmest day and then we head across into paris and again about 22 celsius by sunday it does come back down but this time it is a a good 9 degrees above the average a similar story in zurich as well in fact getting very warm by monday and then to

say there is the chance of some rain showers pushing across from the west the high begins to break for the most part it will chemistry fine drop find a dry sunny and warm thank you for that jenny do stay inside though i think as we've been told still ahead here on al-jazeera. why it could or is building what's being described as a camp david. and in sports rugby league bosses say they're facing their biggest challenge is. far as he would that story. play. survival for haiti's poorest depends on illegal charcoal production. but for park rangers sworn to protect the dominican forests it can have deadly consequences. witness discovers the head in world where the stakes for the environment and those who make their living from it couldn't be higher. death by

capital despite the risk of spreading the virus to communities in the provinces jessica washington reports from jakarta. this is the time of year when workers in jakarta begin to return to their hometowns for ramadan fasting and to celebrate with their families it's usually something people look forward to but the corona virus outbreak has stripped the joy from this annual tradition usually the holiday travel doesn't start until right before but this year some are making the journey early. my family asked me to come home because there are many coronavirus cases in jakarta. i have no income many companies are closed so i decided to just go home most of the confirmed covered 9000 cases in indonesia are here in the capital with so many travelers crowding into transport hubs it's only a matter of time before the virus spreads to other communities more than 14000

people left the city this week on buses to other parts of java last year 20000000 indonesians travelled through the country to see their families before 8 the government says that cannot happen this year. for the safety of everyone i asked to take strong actions to prevent the movement to their hometowns for those who have left already and those planning to make the journey this isn't just about maintaining an annual tradition many workers have lost their jobs because of the al break and without any income they say they can't afford to live in the capital among this group of travellers are people who've had their lives disrupted by the pandemic maids who can't enter the apartment buildings they once worked in and food vendors on empty streets as customers stay home when the. economy it is. because of this they have who. these people are really at

risk economy glee and they decided earlier so it's not only about the. or about losing their daily wage they're. back in their hometowns these travelers will soon see their families but reunions are overshadowed by the risk they may have brought the virus with them just to washington al-jazeera jakarta. the u.s. defense secretary is defending navy commandos who sacks the captain of an aircraft carrier captain brad crose it was relieved of command for complaining about the lack of action to stop the spread on the virus among his 5000 crew that held him hara pedicle has ball. was a truly remarkable sight and sendoff a massive u.s. sailors swarm the hangar pay to say goodbye to their captain brett krueger removed from his job alone he walks the gangplank as his sailors cheer his name.

a clear message the navy paul says this crew is not happy cruiser was removed from his position after a letter he wrote to the bosses went public after a few sailors tested positive for the coronavirus he begged them to let him evacuate most of the ship writing we are not at war sailors do not need to die if we do not act now we are failing to properly take care of our most trusted asset our sailors the acting secretary of the navy says that language and the fact that dozens of people were sea seat on the e-mail were the reasons he was removed he called his letter unnecessary when the commanding officer of the u.s.s. teddy roosevelt decided to write his letter on the 30th of march 2020 that outlined his concerns for his crew in the midst of the covert 19 outbreak the department of the navy had already mobilized significant resources for days in response to his previous previous requests. that doesn't seem accurate given on the same day the

secretary of defense said there was no need to evacuate but as the captain pointed out in his letter it's an aircraft carrier with almost 5000 sailors on board they eat sleep and work in close quarters there is not enough space for social distancing as his letter became public the sailors started being moved to shore but at a cost to the captain your commander or an aircraft carrier you're going to make out and the fact that he was willing to cooperate i was that or wealthier people to me i just can't tell you how much i admired he's not alone over 100000 people have signed a petition to have him reinstated and even presidential candidate former vice president joe biden sent a tweet calling a poor judgment by the trump administration that would people and with this his crew send the message they agree. to calling al-jazeera but what's being called a camp for the day it's a spring head in ecuador as it struggles with one of the worst cars had 19

outbreaks and that in america 105 ecuadorians have died with more than 3000 affections hospitals and morgues are already at breaking point in the largest city there to home and reports. the people of why kill in ecuador desperate not only to stop the march of the coronavirus but to bury that many have been left in the street the authorities have been overwhelmed was loaded so to the hospitals that over the next hour my name is we limit the son of leone that a child who is deceased i've been here 8 days i have the order of removal but even still they don't want to give me the body. this is the queue for those trying to get their relatives into the local cemetery acquittals president lyndon moreno says his government criticised for acting late but is now moving his stomach around but it must we are creating a special camp for the did he believe will be put. 2 dozen 502-3500. and that

projected estimate is just because providence we're going to kill is situated it's higher than the current death toll rule of law in america. refrigerated containers have been brought in to store the bodies and the government task force is picking up it only that in the past 3 days the joint workforce went from taking away 30 deceased per day to 150. to the city that's already overwhelmed knows that it only faces new cases. john home and now disease are. turning to some other news now in the u.k. as opposition labor party has a new leader care stoma has been elected as the person to take on prime minister barak johnson the former director of public prosecutions and shadow breaks secretary won in a vote announced by email and social media because concerns of a coronavirus he replaces jeremy corbin who stood down after 5 years following a disastrous labor performance in december snap election was prerecorded acceptance

speech from care starmer was released just after the results came out other by leadership we will engage constructively with the government not opposition opposition sake not scoring party political points or making impossible demands but with the courage to support where that's the right thing to do but we will test the arguments that are put forward we will shine a taut on critical issues where we see mistakes or falter in government or things not happening as quickly as they should we will challenge that and call that out our purpose when we do that is the same as the government's to save lives and to protect our country and the hayward joins us now live from lincolnshire in the u.k. emma this has been a leadership contest like no other. yeah it wasn't

a great surprise came that kid star who was elected as the leader of the u.k. labor party each potential candidate actually recorded a victory speech and found out earlier if they were the winner but kissed on there is an interesting character he's a well known character here in the u.k. a director former director of public prosecutions say he's actually only been an m.p. for 5 years but in that time he's really risen the ranks in the labor party and been the shadow box it minister and he's become well known for his stance on bricks it but also he is seen as somebody who has a broad base of hill within labor which is something that the party will probably need going forward and talk us through the challenges that lie ahead for the care summit. well we heard that in his acceptance speech he was talking about coronavirus and he was sort of saying that we don't want to be the opposition the opposition's opposition sake but we will call out the

government so it's going to be an interesting few months where labor puts its policies out there particularly during this time of change in the u.k. but he faces a big mountain to climb other than that with the electorate because of course back in december labor suffered a really bad election defeat the 4th in a row they haven't been in power for 10 years and during that time they lost a lot of their typical labor voters in what we call here in the u.k. labor heartlands a lot of those decided to vote for the conservative party for the 1st time and apart from that came he also faces a challenge within the party it has been deeply fractured over the last few years so he is the person who is going to try and have to unify that in the coming months and years ahead thank you for that update there in a hail of live from the. in libya it's the 1st anniversary of the launching of the offensive to capture the capital tripoli forces. hafter have so far failed to overthrow the internationally recognized government. heads looks at the mounting

government. his affairs it has failed to achieve its goals international mediation has failed to in the conflict including a recent call on the warring parties to embrace a truce to allow the country to tackle covert 19 many parts of southern tripoli have been deserted and more than 150000 people have been displaced by the fighting the united nations estimates half to us forces have launched more than a 1000 airstrikes since the beginning of that offensive last year. residential areas and state facilities have been targeted along with airports and migrant detention centers triple as you enter the government blames egypt and the united arab emirates which supports have to for the hundreds of civilian deaths more than

a dozen medical workers have been killed in drone attacks on field hospitals and in july 53 migrants were killed by air strikes the tripoli base to government accuses egyptian and you warplanes of carrying out the attacks. if half his forces advance more inside residential areas war crimes and crimes against humanity will be committed by these multi-national most nerys libyans cannot stop this war but their regional and international players can have also supported by a russian employer tickly by france while the internationally recognized a government in tripoli has military support from turkey as this conflict goes on there is a sense that it's possible for a killing civilians warm to be held to account victims of families like earthmen

are likely to wait for a long time to get justice if they get it at all mahmud up the door he alleges either tripoli and us are grotty is founder and director of institute a public policy think tank on libya he joins us now via skype from london thanks for coming on the program one year on this since this offensive was launched how do you believe the country has changed. transformed the aspirations of libyans in a radical way i mean there were those that really felt passively about the transition america feel that in the absence of justice in the absence of and if from accountability area wrong many libyans of the film will commit in a cause but i think also that it's changed the perspective that many libyans have of the international community should remember that libya's revolution was supported by the u.n. security council resolution 1983 the responsibility to protect and that doctrine really kind of carried on not only and allowed the operation to take place but

really gave a lot of faith and over help for me to be able to to be able to trust them engage positively with it's innocent in all that good faith has been lost since april last year i would say in the absence of any kind of pressure condemnation or sanction by the u.n. on the offending parties. i mean that in that vein let's talk about the fluffing of the arms embargo how much of that is fueling this conflict. we're only 2 months ago we sat and listened to a medical say. on january 20th that this is it for libya that the international powers would accept and respect an arms embargo 2 months on that in fact there have been more embargoes in the last violations of the import of the last 2 months for the u.a.e. in eastern libya than the last 5 years that the government is a massive massive push to or after after that exercise in hypocrisy and it's the

absence of doing more than just saying we're going to help countless and just that means that have been made not and that's really the danger here is that there's no shortage of conferences on libya there are no shortage of meetings or statements that are being put out by the u.n. for example and they do all of the evil in libya but in fact there's very little more than a 1000 words and and very little action on the ground and i think that's really the the key problem here is that in the absence of an arms embargo a real on zamboanga you can't expect the players on the ground to think that peace let's look at that they have more weapons now than they had 2 months ago why would they stop farting in that sense particularly after why would he stop fighting or what would he be afraid of an international community when they're not even making threats i mean there is no condemnation there will be no sanctions so you can get in you in the same vein shouldn't forget this is the 2nd civil war that has sparked in 5 years this is the 2nd solid the un has attempted to broker peace in the u.s.

and the 2nd time they fail to do so i'm speaking of the u.n. protests has said that there has been some progress in the country after he called for a global ceasefire due to the crown a virus outbreak how vulnerable is the country to cry to virus and always seeing that on the ground what go to this is the tennis is actually same story as it is learning make it as clear as that let's look through so that is another mistake or as long as one of the 2 there has got a massive escalation of violence or at least 23 civilians that were killed. in the last 2 weeks 11 there was a massive upscaling violence in tripoli all 3 axis of the from lloyd's of tripoli moved on the same day as good as the upsurge of violence there are more operations now not only in tripoli but in western libya and in what yeah in central libya and the strangler. there are more airstrikes not in there have been since $120.00 i mean it's all it's a lot is that there is less war there's moon now and in fact it's the probably the cover of covert 19 the global destruction there's

a lot that is in the way that in fact there was so much of the destruction in january after the assassination of general zinni many in iraq and that in that sense there was a huge upsurge in strikes in tripoli today that is very much the same thing but on steroids there is no appetite so watch what is happening in libya and those that are perpetrating those crimes sustaining that war and pushing that forward feel absolutely no sense of pressure and that's why they're making a land grab they might even be a land grab to that and it's in the green water they've been upsurge of violence towards that in the last 10 days it's huge what is taking place there but in fact this unnecessary war that's the real problem here not only of these numbers and the stats don't give you the real picture the public health system in libya has been overwhelmed the 1st of those that were to die on april 4th doesn't seem well the countless number of doctors paramedics 1st you know 1st responders hospitals and ambulances and build hospitals that were destroyed within april march april may and june july of last year how is that going to be

a system that can have any sense of response or any form of resilience for what is the common what is living only 45 kilometers 60 kilometers away is southern italy palermo is overwhelmed the bulk of it might saying can you imagine what the numbers that like in libya i mean much of that going into the summer months there might be a huge upsurge of migrants and refugees that cross over into europe after the 2nd well it could be the impending 2nd wave could be a time when the numbers are dwindling in europe and they have a massive fear or hostility towards people that a running away from bullets and bombs in libya it's not right to say they suspect they got absolutely thank you for your time i have to leave it there. the founder and director arsenic institute thank you. the u.n. secretary general has repeated his appeal for a global cease honest and the founder and director of static institutes for the u.n. secretary general has repeated his appeal for a global ceasefire during the coronavirus pandemic some armed groups have already

sponsorship sales we need we need some games take place we hope that you know it still ends up as a 29 game season with the possible extension of the season but right now that is totally in the hands of the british government and when they were reduced restrictions and. the whole situation that we're in so it's a matter of day by day and week when we can understand what we can do to try and sell which this season the whole league now is talking about cuts to the players' salaries there's been nothing determined yet but it is probably inevitable that that's going to happen just given the economics of no revenue coming in and expense levels so i would say that the league is very focused on coming up with some sort of understanding with the players that we're in very very trying times and will need them to step up and we're confident that there will be there the team is in

the u.k. but they're training independent. originally they 1st offer training in small groups and then they're training independently now and they really don't they train on their own they don't come to their training facility everyone's in contact but only you know by phone or or by technology and so it's kind of stay in shape because we never know when we're going to get back and i think most the guys are pretty focused on staying in good physical condition. athletes training for next year's rescheduled tokyo olympics are having to get creative with their workouts olympic and world swimming champion caleb addressable is determined to be fit and ready spite not having access to training facilities but the 23 year old american who has started quarantines circuit training in his backyard says do whatever it takes i mean of course i would like to have my normal routine but i don't have that
