people are thinking this is the silent heat. but does it make you feel nice you feel like a murderer we have created an enormous amount of mental disaster. and investigation south africa toxic city on al-jazeera. european nations go in different directions and relax and restrictions to control covert 19 but the world health organization is warning about any actions. solutions must be based 1st on full most on protecting human held. by. the laboratory and forget this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up. the fighting intensifies in libya the internationally recognized government says the

troops have seized control of 3 cities in the war coming fast. with infections rising russia's president wants the outbreak is getting worse and says the soldiers slated to be deployed to help contain it. at a sailor from the u.s. navy ship the center of a proto virus controversy has died. for the half the $115000.00 people who died worldwide in the coronavirus pandemic from europe but the rate of infection there is slowing in parts of the continent and some countries are now cautiously beginning to ease restrictions some non-essential businesses have reopened in spain after almost 3 weeks shut down a further 517 deaths linked to the virus were also reported but that's fewer than on sunday a listing of the lockdown has. being criticised by people who are worried about

a resurgence in the disease italy is also taking tentative steps towards reopening parts of its economy germany's government is being encouraged by scientists to consider easing restrictions there if infection rates stabilize the world health organizations director general to address give us a sense says that countries must be careful about easing lockdowns some countries are considering when they can lift these restrictions are there is considering whether and when to introduce them in both cases these decisions must be based 1st on foremost on protecting human health and guided by what we know about the virus and how it behaves while covered 19 accelerates very fast it decelerates my chair more slowly in other

words the way down is much slower than the way up that means control measures must be lifted slowly and with kontrol it cannot happen all at once i bet under an hour there is money in the magazine is therefore a spare him with italy and spain looking to ease the restrictions on movement what's the conversation in the u.k. about easing restrictions. well i think people here understand that the restrictions are not going to be lifted any time soon they're expecting that the lockdown will be extended and politicians here i mean we're hearing that this could last for not necessarily even weeks but months that's not a blanket lockdown but there will be some form of restriction on people's movements i think the problem is that the politicians don't know how to get out of the lockdown and this is a dilemma facing many countries in europe and yes there are signs that there is

a slowdown in coronavirus in the region so far it's been the hardest hit region in the world we're seeing in countries like austria looking at coming out of the lockdown denmark is looking at reopening some schools in kindergarten even saying today they said that some businesses could reopen but really still severe restrictions in place in spain because they want public spaces and bars and many shops remain closed and they want majority the people to continue to stay at home and there's a good reason for that because of course the fear is that after having gone to all this effort to suppress the virus to get the number of inmates to reduce the rate of infection that you could have another wave of infections and that's a problem if we're hearing from the world health organization really saying that to intel of course there is a vaccine or some kind of medicine that can be through the virus what is going to be absolutely crucial is to keep transmission suppressed so it's the idea that you

have to maintain testing you have to have contact tracing in place and isolation measures and i mean it's not clear that countries certainly the u.k. isn't yet equipped for this because and it could be the same thing in other european countries because this sort of approach means that you probably would have to have been investing in your health systems for years and we know that the health care system here in this country has been underfunded for a long time but. we're talking about a much more go. i mean you know because when you have these these lockdowns imposed it's a very blunt tool it's just something that applies to everyone well we know that the grind of life has more of an impact on net the honorable and that's what i do like jinns sorry to interrupt you we're going to take you live now to where the u.k. is daily coronavirus press briefing this is foreign secretary dominic robb speaking let's listen in government is united in our focus our determination and our

national mission to defeat the coronavirus and defeat it we will i want to join the pm in expressing our heartfelt thanks to the brilliant team mates and thomas' hospital and as these the bank holiday weekend draws to a close i also need to thank all of the n.h.s. staff all of the other frontline staff who've been working so hard over the long weekend to care for those suffering from coronavirus we thank you for we pay tribute to you and we are mentally proud of all you're doing and can also take the opportunity to thank everyone who followed the advice to stay at home despite the wonderful weather and despite the challenges in the sacrifices that sticking to the advice presents to many families i have to say that at the end of last week we were concerned that people might start ignoring the advice or cutting corners given the temptation to go out into the sunshine in fact the overwhelming majority of people

stayed at home and understood the importance of doing so you stop the advice you denied the coronavirus the social contact it needs to spread and people should be in absolutely no doubt that by staying home this weekend you've saved lives and you also help protect our precious and h.s. at this critical moment in the crisis. so thank you your efforts are making all the difference and please keep them up we've come too far we've lost too many loved ones and we've sacrificed too much to ease up now i can tell you on the latest data that 290700 20 people have been tested for corona virus 88621 have now tested positive and i'm very sorry to say that 11329 people have now died from corona virus every one of them the tragedy and

hearts go out to all of the loved ones who are grieving the loss as such a difficult time and missed this sobering death toll there are also some positive signs from the data that we are starting to win this struggle but we still got a long way to go and as those grisly figures that i just read out show we still not past the peak of this virus so please continue to follow the advice now more than ever to stay home save lives and protect our n.h.s. this week sage will review the evidence of the effectiveness of the social distancing measures that we've taken and we will consider their evidence their assessment based on the evidence at that point i should say we don't expect to make any changes to the measures currently in place at that point and we won't until we're confident as confident as we realistically candy that any such changes can be safely made in the meantime the government will continue to redouble all of our

efforts to buy and deliver the ventilators so we can treat the most vulnerable in our hospitals to deliver the mass the gowns the other protective equipment to protect those on the front line in the n.h.s. but also in care homes and to ramp up testing so that n.h.s. and other key staff can return to the front line just to soon as possible. the chancellor in the business sector working round the clock to mitigate the damage that this crisis has undoubtedly done to our economy getting support to businesses to workers and to the most vulnerable in our society to please once again keep following the guidance to stay home save lives and protect the n.h.s. if we let up now the virus will only take full advantage it will spread faster and it will kill more people if we refuse to give in to it if we keep up this incredible team effort we will beat this virus and we will come through this

national test our plan is working please stick with it and we will get through this crisis together they will hand over to i think it's crystal note to patrick to talk us through the data today thank you thank you patrick 1st line please read that was britain's foreign secretary. dominic rob who is deputising at the moment for rudd prime minister barak's johnson with the british government's daily coronavirus briefing he said there are positive signs from the data we are starting to win this battle mariam is still with us let's get some analysis from her marriage in the magazine in london what do you make of what you heard then aria. well i suppose a fine secretary there really trying to emphasize the importance of people sticking to the lockdown and of the social distancing measures because even though the police have the power to enforce these measures they are really depending on people behaving rationally and responsibly and perhaps quite so somewhat complicated

messaging by the government there because they want to get the message out to people that what they're doing is having a positive effect but at the same time they don't want people to become complacent and think that things will be going back to normal anytime soon. by at 717 so in terms of the the daily death toll that's a little bit less than some of the rates that we've seen over the past few days of course at the u.k. passed over took in spain and according to the highest number of daily desk just a few weeks ago but very important dominant rob said that the country had passed its peak now a few weeks ago the government was indicating that at the peak might be around easter time actually today i think easter monday was mentioned as a time at it as a possible time when we might see the peak of this crisis in the country but really they have backed right away from giving any specific time scale or indication of when specifically we might be over the worst of this because of course it is

something that is very difficult to predict and very difficult to gauge even with the figures that you have coming through so we have a possibility but the next few weeks are going to be critical because even if we continue to see the number of deaths rise what you're really looking for what the number of hospitalisations or the number of hospital admissions and the new and the rate of infection and but the hospital admissions is particularly important because that you would expect to see the number of coronavirus cases increase that the more testing that you do with hospital admissions if you start to see a plateau or plan. in those figures he knew when she starts to those figures go down well it will then feed through the overall death toll to the now at the death toll is expected to rise because as the foreign secretary was saying that the country hasn't reached the peak of this crisis what press briefing is still ongoing we will stay listening to it here and i was there will bring you anything

newsworthy to come out of that for the moment marian the mousie reporting live there from london thanks maria not a libya coming for half the us forces have started to shell the capital tripoli it's in response to advances being made by the internationally recognized government let's go live now to tripoli officer is mahmoud up to what had joins us from there would tell us about the day's developments. well. government military sources say that have to as forces have been trying to take revenge on the capital tripoli by indiscriminate shelling targeting get it initial areas with dozens and dozens of grad rockets since they lost the 3 cities or major 3 cities along with other neighboring towns in the west of libya as you know adrian that this city of sobrante that was taken control of today

on. counting the cost from the health emergency to economic disaster could the world be heading for another financial crisis bounders workers lose their jobs or the pasta pace in the great depression what can governments do to help and who is falling through the cracks. counting the cost on al-jazeera. english context the change the face a new day storytelling around the biggest issues we don't have to do we should do it again. hello again this is al jazeera let's remind you of the main news this hour spain

has lifted some of its restrictions and allowed some people to go back to work including in the construction and manufacturing sectors for prime minister petro sanchez has warned his country is far from victory with strict rules still in place for most people. the world health organization is core urging caution over countries lifting lockdowns to early the next general ted was unknown it really says this and says restrictions on must be lifted slowly. libya's internationally recognized government says it's retaken 3 cities from all of khalifa after us forces a response has begun to shell the capital tripoli. apologies to the director general to have a say is named properly not russia's president says the coronavirus situation is wise thing and troops may be called in to combat the spread bloody me a putin was speaking off the announcement of 2 and a half 1000 new infections that's the largest daily increase so far 148 russians are reported to have died with 18000 cases maybe gives you an issue up to look at

the black each the as we can see the situation is changing almost every day unfortunately it's not changing for the better the number of infected people is increasing and there are more severe cases as well as i've said already the coming weeks will be decisive one of the 600 crewmembers who called the corona virus on a u.s. aircraft carrier has died the captain of the theodore roosevelt was fired for writing to his commanders begging for help to stop the spread of the virus on board soon after the acting navy secretary resigned for calling the captain stupid and naive and criticizing the crew for hailing him as a hero a white house correspondent kimberly heloc it was more on the controversy. in terms of the captain that was dismissed from this aircraft carrier of the u.s. as theodore roosevelt certainly sadly there is some vindication that he may receive from this at least in the realm of public opinion given the fact that he sounded

the alarm he was very concerned about seeing coronavirus ripping through not just his own ship but the cruise ships around the world who had been in many cases debilitated by it so this is something that he was afraid of for his own ship of course he made this known publicly when he was not getting results from the higher chain of command within the u.s.s. within the u.s. navy and that resulted in his dismissal but his dismissal in fact was caught on video when he was leaving the ship he was cheered by the sailors who looked at him very admirably for essentially trying to save their lives but this is sort of a twist in turning story in the u.s. navy because the acting navy secretary then went made a speech to this very same crew called this captain that they revered. as stupid and he was then in turn dismissed from his job so this is yet another sort of

aspect to this case that thou that we have this death this is certainly going to bolster the case of the captain that this was a need to sound the alarm turkey's president says a new lockdown will be imposed next weekend as it struggles to contain the corona virus and grow imposed a 48 hour curfew on all major cities last weekend let's go live now to istanbul a sudden concealer joins the sun via skype 7 why 48 hours is this long necks long time going to be longer why do it again a week after the last one. well actually probably the right question isn't why we can spot not during the weekdays this is this is the major problem here because the 1st reason for the imposing a lockdown for the week for the last weekend was the weather the very good weather especially which made it very difficult for is that people to stay inside and

friday last friday was very crowded in istanbul as it was a regular friday that's why they they they imposed an unprecedented lockdown this weekend which turned out 7 to be a k. also a couple of hours before the lockdown the was in track this so that's why presents are gone today an ounce the temp solve a couple of days prior to the the fresh lockdown which would allow the citizens to be able to go to supermarkets and buy what they were they need and it basically turkey wants to keep people at home but not through a lock down because turkey wants the economy to be functioning this is why president zardari has said before the economy wheels should be whirling the government in congress to staying at home encourages the companies for a home office working news money for on paid leave. some extra money for the companies who who need it to pay for their employees

they're not very very large numbers by the least something but the main idea is here to keep the factories where king not to cut the supply and logistic lines as is also a transfer transitional kountry for international logistics as well and especially for a stumble which has at least 15000000 population it is the fickle to keep people inside homes because there's a there's a huge number of young population inside this stumble and the weather is going better and better. everyday that's right the lockdowns only cover the weekends for now but i have to say that the lockdown was for major cities 31 cities across turkey which meant 6 almost 63000000 citizens among 18000000 all population across the country and all said that as long as the government feels it necessary they will come to me imposing we can block towns but it was sure that

there will be no weak they locked down for turkey at least for now at bain out of their ascent of course he'll be reporting live from istanbul many thanks. at least 116 people in south korea who were cleared of the corona virus have tested positive again 51 similar cases were reported there last week that's raising concerns in the government as it tries to stamp out infections of a service rep the pride in seoul says this is a significant development. it is a worrying development this is a phenomenon that epidemiologists in the center of disease control here have been studying for quite a while the months this large population of people here who got sick towards the end of february beginning of march who got the virus who with their not treated in hospital or treated at home and some 7000 of those people have recovered and as part of their their own going treatments of gradually being retested and worryingly

there has been this trend of finding now more than 100 cases amongst this population of several 1000 people who have tested positive again so these were people who were clear and they had had tests either in hospital look at clinics testing centers it proved to be negative and more than 100 now 3 have now tested positive 7 questions here for the experts is what is causing this is this a reinfection that people coming into contact with a carrier and getting the infection again or more worrying they use a reactivation that somehow they were may not have been asymptomatic at they may not have been it's certainly on the face of it infectious but seem to have possibly still being carrying the virus in some dormant form possibly deep in body tissue that somehow has managed to become reactivate so it is

a worrying trend here does that mean that there has been a problem in testing and does it mean certainly that there are many more questions about this virus that the experts simply don't know about it. iran is reporting a further $111.00 coronavirus deaths pushing the nationwide total of our past 4 and a half 1000 iran as the worst affected country in the middle east some businesses classified as low risk reopened on saturday president hassan rouhani continues to urge iranians to follow social distancing measures for the economic fallout from the coronavirus pandemic is making it harder for international agencies to raise money among those the world food program which says it's been forced to cut russians for more than a 1000000 refugees in uganda after failing to secure additional funding malcolm webb explains how critical that food aid is with the un's world food programme has been calling for donations to help them feed refugees in uganda since the end of

last year donations haven't be forthcoming in mali it's normal for the world food program to not receive as much money as it requests and this case the shortfall is critical that's why they're cutting rations by about a 3rd so that's going to make a hard life even more difficult for those 1200000 refugees in uganda these camps are not good places to live even at the best of times in northern uganda hundreds of thousands of people who fled the conflict in south sudan living there in the landscape dry for much of the time that farmed the land is not suitable for farming it makes it difficult to be able to produce their own food and so they depend on the food from the world food program which is now going to be cut peter smugness from the un's world food programme for east africa and says that funding was already difficult but the coronavirus pandemic has forced the un to relook at its plans for next year. there's

a lot more that can be done as long as people have funding but the difficulty is we are $137000000.00 short of what we needed to give the refugees in uganda which is the country that is hosting the largest number of refugees in all of africa. to give them a full russian for the year 2020 so we had to make this cut otherwise we would have had to make more severe cuts later on in the year if we didn't receive more support so it was unrelated to covert 19 but it's a symptom of a difficult situation in funding globally for humanitarian operations we saw it coming in many ways in as much as uganda is a situation where the refugee situation is relatively stable and donors find it very difficult understandably when there are the emergencies in the world where life need to be saved to keep giving refugees enough food to eat when

other operations with other emergencies come up and they are required to also commit funds to live so now with covert 19 the situation is even more difficult globally for humanitarian operations and more longstanding refugee operations. it's good to have you with us hello adrian from going to hear endo how the headlines and i was as they were spraying has lifted some of its restrictions are put in place as a result of the coronavirus outbreak some people though have been allowed to work or back to work including in the construction and manufacturing sectors but prime minister petro sanchez has warned this country is far from victory and strict rule still in place for most people. the world health organization is urging caution for countries lifting their lockdowns to early the world health organization chief says

that restrictions must be eased slowly. while called 19 accelerates very fast it decelerates much more slowly in other words the way down is march slower than the way up that means control measures must be lifted slowly and we've gone through all it cannot happen all at once in libya warlord khalifa haftar us forces have started to shell the capital tripoli it's in response to advances being made by the internationally recognized government tripoli based government says that it's retaken 3 cities from have task forces after has been trying to capture the capital of overthrow the government there for the past here russia's president says the coronavirus and demick is worsening in his country and that troops may be called in to combat the spread putin was speaking of the announcement of 2 and
