for me is one country al-jazeera world meets for refugees who've come to us touched people's lives and made a difference. road from home photographers and activists are now just 0. china proves human tests for 2 experimental vaccines to combat the corona virus has killed more than a 100000 people worldwide. hello i'm down in jordan this is out there on live from doha also coming up. we can control the spread feel good about. the worst is over possible signs of hope in the u.s. coronavirus epicenter but the new york governor warns it's no time to relax. the

pandemic disrupts fresh food supplies in america some processing factories shut down in part use goes to waste. and it's back to work for some italy and spain begins easing a fuel coronavirus restriction. the number of new coronavirus cases is now nearing 2000000 worldwide but there are some signs of light at the end of the tunnel china has approved 2 new experimental vaccines to be tested on humans similar trials are also underway in the u.s. but meanwhile china's reported 89 new cases in the past 24 hours nearly all of which came from abroad with sarah flock joins us live now from hong kong sara what more do we know then about these experimental chinese vaccines. well as you mentioned china's approve these 2 experimental coronavirus vaccines to enter the next phase and that's oversee the clinical trials and we know that the

vaccines are being developed by 2 operators one it's a beijing biased biotech company and it's in partnership with the will hand biased pharmaceutical group it was announced by the news items in which the government controlled media operation a base in china has already given approval for another clinical trial and that was given back in march and it's already started out the 2nd phase of those particular clinical trials and the now already got $500.00 volunteers who've signed up the 1st phase looked at the safety trials the 2nd is looking efficacy and it's now actually they've got to get a perceived control group as a result another no effective drugs clearly globally that can deal with a crowd of us but china has one step ahead or certainly an advantage when it comes to other countries as it was the 1st to actually map the genome sequence of the chrono virus as a result so at this stage where we've got the 2 trials announced on tuesday a by the shin monies i can see some goodies certainly coming from china and syria talk us through the numbers coming from china with reports emerging of new

infections some of what's been happening. well don we've got some new numbers have just been released the last hour of sciences from the scene one news i can see again this is a government controlled media operation we have yet to have them confirm for the national health commission which holds its press conference in the afternoons out of beijing this and that 111 you cases of the coronavirus of coming out of one joe this is a city in the south of china and these particular cases of people of african origin now the last couple of days we've seen a number of social media reports of complaints being made by members of the african community in that particular city and they claiming to obeying accusing the chinese authorities of mistreatment they're talking about has been denied access to hotels and restaurants and as a result a number of african countries demanded action from china to stop this what they describe of inhumane treatment that china said it doesn't discriminate against the african brothers but this is a sign today that the news and say that they've got 111 new cases and these are the

people of african origin living in the south of china in one joe and looking at other cases where we're seeing a spike of numbers in the north east of china this is an area called her long john it's a province that borders russia and as a result a city that borders russia it's now in lockdown we've also got a number of quarantine rules that been put in place the capital harbor it's got in force a stay at home order for some people in those residential compounds where they believe they might be clusters of public gatherings have been banned train services or also been stopped in parts of that region and so the chinese authorities are now trying to deploy not just medical teams but resources to that particular area in the north east of the country which appears to be the new battleground for coronavirus infections coming in from russia or address. in hong kong so thank you. yes president donald trump has defended his handling of the pandemic as infection rates nationwide start to fall at his monday briefing trump said his administration had done everything right despite criticism it was slow to respond infectious disease

expert dr anthony fauci back to the president but again admitted fewer people would have died if instructions had started sooner the disease has killed more than 23000 people in the u.s. john hendren has more details now from chicago now he has got a new council that he plans to announce on tuesday which will be a number of administration officials and business officials who would come up with the plan for when to go back to business he hasn't given us a date but he did say in the news conference just a short while ago that he would within the week the president talked about the change in cases plant showing mirroring some of the language we're hearing from governor andrew cuomo of new york and governor j.b. pritzker of illinois who both say that there does seem to be a bending of that curve this is what the president said just a short time ago americans continue to make critical progress that our war against the virus over the weekend the number of daily new infections remained flat. nation

wide flat hospitalizations a slowing of hotspots like new york new jersey michigan and louisiana this is clear evidence that our aggressive strategy to combat the virus is working on sunday you have anthony found the director of allergy and infectious diseases the point man on this pandemic for the administration who was asked if the administration had acted earlier would lives have been saved and he said yes he couldn't deny that well in his news conference one of the 1st things the president did was trot out anthony found who had to walk back all of those comments saying that in fact in the only 2 times he actually confront the president were in mid march when he recommended that there be some kind of lock down in business closing and then 2 weeks later when he recommended that that be extended for another 2 weeks and he said that when he said there had been pushback back in february that that was probably a bad choice of words new york pasta another grim milestone on monday

a red string more than 10000 coronavirus from 8 to deaths for the state's governor says there are signs the west is over christensen who has more power as all but essential businesses remain closed in new york or stay home there are signs that strict social distancing measures are working the governor says the state is seeing fewer hospitalizations for the coronavirus we can control the spread feel good about that the worst is over. yeah if we continue to be smart going forward but even as president trump expresses his hope to get americans back to work in may the governor warned against lifting restrictions too soon new york's governor said he'll be listening to experts in public health in the economy not politicians as to when it will be safe for new yorkers like me to leave home and return to work but

he'll do so in consideration with governors from neighboring states that includes one to reopen schools the mayor of new york city thinks they should stay closed through june but i need to do to protect kids and parents and families and educators there's not going to be a context to reopen schools with so much we're going to have to deal with on the health front to get to a better place and a more stable place but the governor says ultimately that will be his decision one he has yet to make christine salumi al-jazeera new york made all the world health organization has countries to carefully consider any changes to social and economic restrictions the way down is march slower than the way up that to means control measures must be lifted slowly and we've gone through and it cannot happen all at once controlled measures can only be lifted if the right

public and the measures are in place including significant capacity for contact tracy. in europe spain has taken the 1st step in easing a nationwide lockdown hundreds of thousands of non-essential employees have been allowed to return to work it is also easing some restrictions from tuesday but when it came reports from delhi. for many thousands of people across europe this is the reality of the coronavirus for many millions more it means locked down and the loss of their freedom of movement and for many weeks that's been the case in france now its president says it must stay that way a lot longer. don't look on this come on in the false hospitals a saturated everywhere in france in the french overseas territories the system is under strain there and the epidemic is not yet under control so we must continue our efforts and continue to respect the rules the more they are respected the more

lives will be saved that is why the strictest lockdown must continue until monday may the 11th. but elsewhere monday meant a return to work after weeks in lockdown as here in madrid because in this and a few other sectors of the economy the toughest restrictions have been lifted and some spanish politicians say now is not the time to relax the vigilance even to this small extent and in most other regards the existing lockdown will remain in place for much of the next 2 weeks in italy a small number of stationery shops book shops and children's clothing stores can reopen from choose day because here the number of new infections remains considerably lower than joining the worst days last month but as in spain the mortality rate remains high the point pope francis referred to in his easter monday address at the vatican or g. recorded. during this

easter week i would like to remember with closeness and affection all the countries strongly affected by the coronavirus some with large numbers of infected and dead in a special way italy united states bahrain france the list is long. and many other countries are worried to the latest figures from russia show the infection and mortality rates are on a steep upward curve. as we can see the situation is changing almost every day unfortunately it's not changing for the better the number of infected people increases and there are more ther via cases as well the upcoming weeks would largely be decisive that means that all our actions including prevention measures should be optimized here in germany the abundance of intensive care and wide scale testing have helped to keep the mortality rate much lower than in much of the rest of europe which explains why some politicians now want to relax

the restrictions shere so as to reduce the economic damage as much as possible because some projections suggest that in this quarter alone the economy may shrink while most 10 percent. if the lockdowns r.t.s. we should get the 1st news of it on wednesday when angle america will discuss the problem with the prime ministers of the 16 german states dominic kane al jazeera berlin time for a short break here in al-jazeera when we come back i'm asking a lot of republicans. to come together in this campaign to support your candidacy last week after he dropped out of the race for president bernie sanders makes the endorsement. concerns of a human rights violations as rwanda enforces coronavirus which the terms on millions of people on the table.

and there is a fairly unsettled picture across much of the middle east and sunny for the south across the peninsula that all see as you can see this band of cloud is spring producing some showers even some thunderstorms and there are more in the 4 calls now 3 cheese day is a slightly calm across a picture we have got areas of scattered thunderstorms across northern societies and fairly strong winds coming through the interior again further to the south and yemen also saying a fair. that touches a come down in the wake of those latest polls $28.00 in the same across into riyadh way you will notice a lot of rain some snow against the mountains is pushing on into afghanistan and on into northern areas of pakistan but have a look at wednesday by wednesday we could then see another resurgence really in activity and. they could be very heavy at times you could have some torrential downpours of course coming on dry ground this could well lead to some flash floods

26 in doha but as i say a very wet day potentially and then down into southern africa really the heaviest of the rain for the next couple of days will be through central eastern and particularly coastal areas as south africa the rains a further to the north but they're very well scattered and really quite like to wednesday still those heavy rains plaguing the tanzania and is improving picture in south africa. join the colobus nation. the bubble to the people to expand their brains maybe have a difference here this is a dialogue with women in cambodia are in fact selling their hair we don't know how much they're getting paid for it it's hard to track it's hard to treat everyone has a voice tell us what you think and you'll conversation could be a lot right here in this case we need to step away from gaming people are not necessarily game perfect this is a journey of progression not perfection on how does iraq.

welcome back a quick amount of our top stories here at this hour chinese state media says beijing has approved the testing of tune new experimental coronavirus vaccines on film and beijing as reported 89 new cases in the last 24 hours and all of which came from abroad. this president donald trump and america's top disease experts say the rate of new infections are starting to slow down 23000 americans died from the outbreak so far more than half a 1000000 reported sections. of the world health organization is urging caution over countries visiting their lockdowns too soon. chief says now is the time for

countries to be vigilant. now the coronavirus is impacting the meat and dairy industries in the united states as workers become sick meat processing plants are being shut down out of cafes and restaurants already closed dairy products are going to waste is practically. it's happening across the country rivers of milk dumped down drains and ponds millions of leaders wasted by farmers who say they can't sell it the reason about half of their customers are closed restaurants bars school cafeterias all shuttered but at the same time store shelves are mostly empty there's very little milk to be found and those that can find some are being limited to how much they can buy wisconsin dairy farmer marty halleck says the problem is that milk package for restaurants is not the same as the kind they can sell in stores now. plants were sent to our bottle now in certain container so i.e. the schools where small computers you know

a lot of people buy them small containers and store a minute and then to be honest with the. issue from storage out in trucking and now there is a new concern about the country's meat supply meat packing plants are tight quarters and his workers get sick but the coronavirus plants are closing across the country analyst steve meyer says he expects more plants to close especially as it peaks in certain states at the end of may but he says the country will not run out of meat remember that a plan to get out does that mean that the hogs disappear i suppose hogs are still out there they will have to be slaughtered and processed at some point and. so as long as the plants are permanently down we're not running out and no this is happening while tens of millions of americans go hungry with so many out of work this is what food bank distribution now looks like all across the country from california to pennsylvania florida to texas miles of cars lined up for

a box of free food we're looking at an increase of 17100000 people over the course of the next 6 months when they see that access coming into the arts some of them smile and some of them cry it's been an increasing trend up until now americans have spent more money at restaurants and bars their grocery stores that is what the supply chain was built for bringing the country to this point so much fresh food wasted when it's desperately needed the most political gain and jazeera washington. new data from brazil's national institute shows that deforestation in the amazon has increased by over 50 percent compared to last year this is not only a threat to the environment but also to indigenous communities and there are fears that illegal loggers could spread the virus to them too is a boat expects. members of brazil's environmental agency head into the rain forest to fight deforestation. it's been on the rise in the past year they

have come to the appy data why land in the state of to protect indigenous territory from illegal gold miners and loggers says give us. we're trying to prevent the land takeover there is happening in this indigenous territory and the neighboring ones is being promoted by invaders and illegal miners that are trying to take away their land there's coronavirus and these people become more fragile and vulnerable. there's been deforestation alerts from the space research institute in almost 800 square kilometers of brazil's rain forest it's a 50 percent increase if compared to the same period last year since taking office president joe you also now who has been calling to open up the amazon for development and those involved in illegal activities here have taken his words seriously miami banya represents that road i mindedness community and says she's afraid illegal gold miners will spread kovi 1000. but only if the

virus enters our land we're worried we want to have enough to tend in the company all our members we have more than 50000 indigenous communities in this country and we're very worried about that we don't have enough doctors for what could happen here last week a 15 year old boy died of covert 19 he belonged to a gentleman mean community there's around 20000 illegal gold miners in general mommy territory which stretches at the border between brazil and venezuela in the 1960 s. and eighty's illegal miners introduced deceases such as missiles among the general mom indigenous community here it killed around 50 percent of the population many here fear the same thing could happen again and that's why members of the indigenous community have blocked the access roads to their land. we are worried about the coronavirus in our community that is why from now on our security people

will be here to inspect the entrance of our community people from outside were not be allowed to enter we also ask for the residents to not leave the community president has minimize the impact over 1000 could have in his country even though infections are starting to spread to brazil's most remote areas indigenous communities there are asking the government to help them in a fight they cannot win alone because i will. nigeria's president has extended the lockdown across 3 major cities until the end of the month as cases of coronavirus in the country continue to rise restrictions on movement will be imposed on a bougie lagos and ogun states president bihari says the nation is response to the kobe 1000 disease is a matter of life and death the country so far reported more than 300 cases including 10 deaths but it has more now from the capital. government said so fight was able to trace 92 percent of thousands and 6000 individuals or

content traced 6000 individuals who were in contact with infected people when this outbreak started in nigeria weeks ago now the government also said it has built capacity such that now that $1500.00 individuals can be tested but there is still more to be done you're talking about a country of more than $200.00 people but 200000000 people and the government also said it has now doubled its capacity for isolation treatment as unless. the hospitalization of individuals who have been confirmed to have come with the current come down with the coronavirus point symptoms now the government is extending that 2 weeks. lockdown impost on lagos and the capital abuja simple these 2 states or territories account for more than 70 percent of the infections in nigeria simply because the government said

a lot needs to be done to deal with the pandemic the president said over the last 2 weeks the number of infections that doubled now in nigeria has 323 cases with 10 fatalities in the country so it's ramping up the efforts to trace as well as test as many as it can however the idea behind extending this at this lockdown may not go down well with many nigerians who complain that sulfite in the last 2 weeks they haven't had the politics all the support of the government promised them all the governments that it just distributed millions of dollars in aid of people who cannot take care of themselves this is a country where majority of the people leave the work with less than when or $2.00 a day and this is the problem to rate is increasing and for the country as well you're talking about a country that's the last b.s. abroad. over the past one month simply because the demand for oil has fallen in the

international market and also the price now it will be interesting to see how the nigerian government will deal with the shortfalls in revenues such that it can't continue providing services already the government is proposing a cut of nearly 40 percent of its treaty trying to break it simply because the price of oil has come down now rwanda was $1.00 of the 1st countries in africa to impose a total lockdown never the coronavirus pandemic but human rights campaigners have accused security forces in several states of using heavy handed tactics on civilians during the lockdown has gotten so much. security forces are making sure people follow lockdown orders in the capital kigali anyone who doesn't can be arrested and fined. with valid reasons such as visiting a hospital and market trance for food have their temperatures checked before being allowed to proceed alone or there are people who do not understand the problem they just come here to walk around we continue to tell them to stay at home they can

infect the whole population here those who come to buy food must respect regulations or under no undercurrent of the social distancing is critical but difficult to implement this landlocked country has one of the highest density of population in africa most of the 12000000 people here are poor at the start of the lockdown police shot dead 2 people they said the man attacked a police officer soldiers have also been accused by several slum dwellers of human rights abuses including rape and the random military says it's investigating and has arrested some soldiers. security forces in several other countries on the continent such as kenya south africa and uganda also been accused by human rights groups of using excessive force on civilians while enforcing government restrictions.

and it's different for me. now this is. what. soldiers only fight wars. volunteers are distributing food paid for by the government to the most vulnerable families across the country with towels and other businesses are shutting down and thousands of people are likely to lose their jobs program is that there is no show security for those that we have to send home. so they will have no support financial support. already today 80 percent of my staff is home for now the government plans to ensure transmission of the disease is leamy ted's poor families are fed and the lockdown is respected randoms we talked to remain hopeful they
