that across the country and the spread of corona virus appears far wider than anyone thought. this is a crisis like no other which means there is substantial uncertainty about the impact it will have on people's lives and livelihoods the global losses from coronavirus could top 9 trillion dollars greater than the combined economies of germany and japan that's the latest forecast from the international monetary fund. well again peter dhabi here in doha you're watching al-jazeera also coming up it

keeps getting worse for the airlines the industry warns carriers will lose $314000000000.00 in revenue with 80 percent of flights grounded. when somebody is the president of the united states the authority has told. donald trump to close he'll decide when the u.s. economy reopens but state governors say nothing will change until it's safe. as the infection rate slows in australia business groups push for restrictions to be lifted. the international monetary fund says the coronavirus pandemic will cost the world's economies $9.00 trillion dollars over the next 2 use warning comes as countries around the world face prolonged lock downs as they try to contain the outbreak the i.m.f. chief economist says it is the worst economic shock since the great depression of

the 1930 s. . flattening the spread of coal with 19 using lock downs allows health systems to cope with this crises which then prove permits a resumption of economic activity. in the sense there is no tradeoff between saving lives and saving livelihoods countries should continue to continue to generously support their health systems perform widespread testing and refrain from trade restrictions on medical supplies across live to u.s. correspondent alan fischer joining us from virginia so alan these figures are pretty much in line with some of the broader predictions but seeing them in print is pretty stark compelling reading. exactly and if you go back to january the i.m.f. was talking about global growth here they are just a few months later saying look there's going to be a big problem this is going to be the biggest problem in almost

a century and far worse than what the global economy suffered during the financial crisis in 2009 a drop of somewhere in the region of 3 percent a contraction of the global economies that is quite significant and will lead to huge job losses in many many countries and the point 0170 countries at least impacted by this and we're not talking just about the major economies like the united states and china when all across europe we're also talking about small economies like nepal which bases so much of what it does on its economy on people traveling to the country of eating out and restaurants that simply isn't happening now that the i.m.f. says there is the possibility that the global economy will rebound in 2021 to 5.8 percent that is a very big number when it comes to talking about global growth however it comes with a number of causes it says if there is a continuing problem with the coronavirus if the law don't continue if there is

a 2nd wave at some point and 2020 then the global financial crisis will continue what the i.m.f. says is to get out of this what they have to do is make sure that there is a global response this can't be countries closing their borders there can't be in their words globalization that has to be a concerted effort across all economies to make sure that there is a global recovery there also weaving the debt for $25.00 of the world's poorest countries they say at this point the attention should be on defeating the impact of the covert virus rather than concentrating on repeating debt but the reality i guess alan it would be fair to say is that what you've got 10 states in the u.s. talking or thinking about easing restrict. as we've got several european countries edging towards doing the same thing but even if you get a little local economy on the move heading in the right direction that's

a drop in the ocean compared to what they will need to have in 3 to 6 months which the stimulus package exactly his work aired just in the last few years india is continuing its lockdown for about another month and they are one of the big economies in the world they haven't suffered quite as much for they're coming from a high growth area as is china you know china 6 percent growth last year people were expecting it to be something similar in the 1st half of 2020 it will experience around 1 point one percent growth this year so there can be a gradual opening but is the i.m.f. says the most important thing here is protecting life because if you don't do that then the economy to a large degree is worthless no there is this idea that if you can some sort of were ruling reopening in france it certainly examine that idea in the last 24 hours saying that some shops will open perhaps schools might reopen there is this idea

that over time the economy can reopen and as we know donald trump is very keen to do that but there is an implicit warning here from the i.m.f. don't move too fast because you could do much longer damage to the economy everything has got to be just right to get things moving in the right direction to get through this crisis when it comes to talking economically and financially thanks a lot and talk to you later. well as if that economic news wasn't bad enough the world's airlines now stand to lose more than $300000000000.00 in revenue this year that's the latest forecast from the industry body representative that's why our carriers have grounded aircraft of course they've laid off crew and made a growing number of travel restrictions and border closures and nobody is buying a ticket to get on a plane our economics editor at alli says the airline industry needs massive financial support to survive the crisis. the airline industry employs some in the region as 65000000 people directly and indirectly and so you know they're

expecting 25000000 jobs could be lost over the next 3 months unless governments step in we help now we had in the united states that the trump administration has said they'll give $60000000000.00 to the airline industry but the end industry has it has been reluctant to take those on because part of that money comes in the form of loans and quite rightly so many people would think and some of that money cannot be used to buy back shares or dividends or any or pay executives huge bonuses as had been the case in the previous previous financial crisis in 2008 so they're reluctant to take the money and when you look at for instance in the u.k. the british government has said listen you know we're not going to hand out huge bailouts to help put the airlines and where it will take each airline case by case

and see see what support we cannot offer but the 1st port of call you need to go to your shareholders to get your money and you've got british airways now they're in the process of for learning 30000 employees so this is a very real economy kind of stuff this is people's lives being affected and we put this into the wider context because the global tourism industry is such a huge industry it's a barrel has 9 trillion dollars. the actual value of it and it employs more than 300 people around the world and it's not just airlines it's hotels it's cruise ships and it's your air b.n. b. you know little the little guys are suffering as much as the big guys. ok let's take a closer look at some other major developments this. reported another record daily rise in new infections with more than $2700.00 of them the government says $170.00

russians have died with the total number of cases now more than $21000.00 thousands of shops across austria are reopening as the government loosens its locked on measures the authorities say it's the 1st phase of a gradual process to restart the economy austria's strict social distancing rules will remain in place spain today reporting the lowest increase in new cases in nearly one month bringing hope that the infection rate there could be slowing the authorities reported another $567.00 deaths on tuesday pushing the total past $18000.00. meanwhile the u.k. just reporting 778 more deaths related to the corona virus in england alone the deaths of surpassed 11000 that's the 5th highest figure globally but new data suggests the real number could be up to 15 percent higher than official figures released by the u.k. government let's go live now to london and our correspondent need. this is people as statistics slipping between the cracks almost because they're not in the n.h.s.

figures but we are finding out about them. that's right what the figures are essentially saying is that there is a significant disparity between what the government has been saying on a daily basis and its daily number 10 briefing and what the reality on the ground is according to the office of national statistics who have been collecting data on death tolls in a week by week basis for the past 15 years is that the week ending april the 3rd there were 6000 deaths that they believe were attributed to 19 other this figure it was actually 15 percent higher than the official figures coming from the government the reason from the disparity is because the government does not collate and collect all of the deaths that take place within the community or in care homes and that number as shown here is clearly significant the suggestion is that this data really needs to be crunched and poured over the government needs to

be more transparent and sharing this information because it really forms the bedrock of decision making it will inform the government as to whether or not to ease restrictions on movement of people something the economy is desperate to see happen and it's also an indicator of where crucial resources need to potentially go as well and we're hearing account after account from care homes across the country of large numbers of their residents dying only in the last couple of days 15 deaths in a care home in luton 13 in county durham in north steep northeast england 9 residents have died in a care home in nottingham these are. private often entirely private organizations and care homes that are desperate for help struggling to get the equipment they need to make sure that their staff are protected and to keep those residents sheltered and alive we're also seeing the lifting of some restrictions across some

of the e.u. countries but the european union or the commission i should say out of brussels and stroudsburg they want better cross border coordination on this issue. you have been through it in the context of what's happening the european commission is something of a toothless organization it can't all member states to follow its orders it can make guidelines and advisories which is what it's doing now is basically saying look we all race to close down our economies and save our populations a few weeks ago now when we start to ease the pressure off and open up our economies perhaps it's time for a joined up response across the whole of the e.u. to avoid some countries slipping behind others there's already been a desperate call for financial support from states in the south of europe and the south east of europe italy of course its economy was already on the brink of recession ahead of the coronavirus crisis one can only imagine when the final

figures come through have deeply affected it will be economically of course when it comes to the opening up of countries we're seeing different responses in different places austria has allowed certain stores open they are seeing their figures start to be under control spain heavy industry workers are allowed to go back opening up in denmark and also to a certain lesser extent in italy as well but very last of course from saying one more month of restrictions are what need what's needed that to make sure the situation can be under control need thanks very much. china has approved human trials for 2 experimental coronavirus vaccines that tries to prevent a 2nd wave of infections state media and soon one bank scene is being developed by a biotech firm the other by the china national pharmaceutical group the country is now trying to contain imported cases especially from neighboring russia sarah clarkson hong kong she says china wants to fast track the production of the

vaccines these vaccines where vaccines will be developed in partnership number one with a biotech group based in beijing and the 2nd partner is one based out of this is a pharmaceutical group and as i mentioned it has been confirmed by china but china's already got a vaccine or a trial in place and that particular trial its audience its 2nd phase the 1st phase of that trial looked at the safety scenario of that vaccine and the 2nd one is now introduced for perceived control groups have certainly got enough at this stage 500 volunteers have signed up but we can now confirm we've got 3 vaccines in place in china but the national health commission said it can't pass must pass various conditions before they can enable mass production certainly they're trying to fast track this and china certainly has an advantage as the 1st nation to be able to map the genome status of the corona virus and we have some license numbers coming out of china we're looking at a particular area now russia province in china that borders russia and we've had 409 infections coming from russia into china over the last few weeks the current number of cases in china is 89 as of today and this particular province accounts

about 79 of those cases as of tuesday and as a result these cities put in a number of border protection control checkpoints in that area that healthy they got health checks on those people coming from russia into china we've also got mandatory coronavirus testing from all those chinese nationals coming from russia into china they've also set up a hotline to allow for those people in this particular province to report the illegal arrivals coming from russia china is also deployed a number of extra resources and medical teams from where you have and the cell to that area and it seems that particular region is now the focus of what they could believe might be a 2nd wave of infections into china. still ahead here on al-jazeera traffic backing up for kilometers at u.s. food banks as millions run out of options in the worsening economic crisis. anger in mumbai hundreds protested the government extending the nationwide lockdown there .

the international monetary fund says the coronavirus pandemic will cost the world's economies $9.00 trillion dollars over the next 2 years when it comes as countries around the world face prolonged lockdowns the i.m.f. chief economist says it is the worst economic shock to the world since the great depression the 1930 s. . global airlines now stand to lose more than $300000000000.00 in revenues this year that's the latest forecast from my outer carriers of grounded aircraft and crew amid a growing number of travel restrictions and border closures. china approving human trials for 2 new experimental vaccines against the virus as it fights to prevent a 2nd wave of infections. there been protests in india over the extension of a nationwide lockdown there hundreds of migrant workers gathered in mumbai to protest at the measures and a lack of aid from the government the prime minister narendra modi extended the lockdown of 1300000000 people up until may the 3rd india has more than 10 and

a half 1000 known cases and has reported over 350 deaths elizabeth purana is in new delhi with more on mr modi's announcement. the prime minister tried to address some of the main issues around those concerns most people in india do agree that the lockdown is necessary as he himself said there were 550 cases when india imposed a lockdown 3 weeks ago there are 10000 cases now and 350 deaths as a lockdown must continue but how do you miss ingate the hardships for so many in a country with so many already poor and hundreds of millions a daily wage as well the prime minister said that he acknowledges the difficulties that they have gone through disproportionately that the daily wage and as his top priority but he didn't expand about how he's going to get the how that both central and state governments have promised them but they still isn't reaching so many people and we're seeing that the unemployment rate has gone up from 6 to 23 percent

he also spoke about the agricultural situation in the country something like a hof of india's workforce actually books and farming and follows haven't been able to have this they went to crops they also haven't been able to plant this summer crops because of a lack of labor because of the disruption to the supply chain and india is facing a possible agricultural and food crisis. back to the states donald trump has used his late cysts coronavirus briefing to play a campaign style video montage he declared he alone has the total authority to decide when the economy reopens the u.s. death toll is approaching 24000 and is the world's highest john hendren reports from chicago. president donald trump is determined to open american homes and businesses even over the objections of some states when somebody is the president of the united states the authority is total and that's so it's got to be hoed 36

total it's total the states closed the governors of new york and illinois dispute that saying they want to end shelter at home orders based on science and they say the science isn't clear on that yet we want to get things back to more normal as soon as we can but one thing that we have to pay attention to is what direction are these curves going and what are the what is the advice that we're getting from again the scientists and the doctors who know more about immunology and about you know all the issues of covert 19 then you know than an elected official is not a doctor you know a fiery 2 and a half hour news conference president trump excoriated journalists you know you're a fake so whatever they're doing it smirked as he showed a montage of news reports that he said underplayed the threat of the virus. and denied he had any problem with his point man on the pandemic even after retreating
