then become somebody used to fall into society fending for themselves. to give me satisfaction. the battle continues but the data suggests that they should what we have passed the peak or new cases president trump insists many u.s. cities will reopen soon despite a record 2000 more americans dying from coronavirus in the last 24 hours. this is al jazeera live from doha. also coming out. this is going to come in waves and it's getting worse more mutations it's affecting newborns inspecting younger

people we speak to a frontline doctor in the us where the death toll has now climbed to over 28000 plus keeping your descendants new research suggests restrictions to stem coronavirus may be needed for years to come and africa's largest economy takes a hit nigeria struggles with lockdowns and a slump in oil prices. the air. president donald trump has a number of new corona virus infections in the u.s. is slowing even as the country reported a record 2300 deaths in the past 24 hours the us president also renewed his criticism of the world health organization suggesting it deliberately misled the world in the early stages of the outbreak on wednesday he announced a halt in funding to the w.h.o. which is leading the global response to the pandemic tragically other nations put

their trust in the w.h.o. and they didn't do any form of ben and you see what happened to italy you see what happened to spain you see what happened to france w h o's guidance had failed to control their borders at a very crucial phase quickly unleashing the contagion around the world there was a horrible tragic mistake or perhaps they knew i'm sure they didn't know the gravity of it but perhaps they knew because if they knew the gravity that would be an even worse offense all the un agency has responded to trump's criticism with a call for unity when we divided the virus exploits the cracks between us. we are committed to serving the world his people and to accountability for the resources with which we are interested in due course

w. chose performance in tackling this pandemic will be reviewed by w. 2 as member states and the independent bodies start our employees to ensure transparency and accountability but for now our focus my focus is on stopping this virus and saving lives against this backdrop president trump has declared that restrictions could be lifted up to 30 u.s. states by the beginning of next month and in an unprecedented move his threatened to adjourn congress my cannery forte's. these daily news briefings up a ported lead to keep the nation informed about the battle against the coronavirus but invariably the president strays off message and today he uses forums to rail against what he described as congregational obstruction in the confirmation of

government officials and regrettably to adjourn congress and then push through his nominations during the recess the senate should either fulfill its duty and vote on my nominees or cheat formally adjourn so that i can make recess appointments we have a tremendous number of people that have to come into government and now more so than ever before because of the virus and the problem it's a threat against congress that no president has made before perhaps it's never done before it's never been done before nobody's even sure if it has but we're going to do it we need these people here we need people for this crisis and we don't want to play anymore political games. many in congress would view this as an attack against a fundamental principle on which this country's democracy is based a system of checks and balances that separates the powers of the executive the judiciary and the legislature it's the latest in

a series of actions that would appear to amount to an abuse of executive power and follows a suspension of funding to the world health organization that congress had already approved and the insistence that the president has the right to order states to follow the guidelines of the executive in deciding when to lift the mitigating measures president trump says he'll speak to governors before announcing new guidelines thursday making clear these involve the easing of restrictions in a number of states pretty you're ready know will be opening up states some states much sooner than others and with the exam of the states can actually open up before the deadline of may 1st and i think that will be a very exciting time indeed the president ended the briefing with these words big day tomorrow on this day's evidence it's not clear whether this is a promise or threat mike hanna al-jazeera washington or nearly

664-0000 people in the u.s. have been infected with call they've 19 and more than 20000 have died new york is still on the front line of the pandemic with the highest number of reported infections and deaths and even though new infections seem to have slowed in recent days hospitals they're a stretched to breaking point chronic pinney is a doctor of internal medicine in new york city he says more efforts need to be made to protect health care workers and contain the outbreak. one thing that really stuck out to me is that and i try to you know tell my colleagues and how contagious this was that you needed you bowl level of quitman like hazmat suits respirators that purify the air meaning that you know the big contention is this droplet or airborne and clearly we're seeing some airborne component because this is how contagious this disease was and it was spreading and unfortunately been affecting hospital health care workers and such we need the cill these are only kogut only

right because the level of the quitman and protection for our health care workers needs to be at lat level i think you've seen videos out of china and italy they're wearing like spacesuit level stuff and in order to do that like you need to have a dedicated floor facilities dedicated like basically hermetic style quarantines right space that you need negative pressure ventilation you need sliding doors like they see in star trek right it seals it because this thing is so contagious it gets out that you can breathe it in you can take it in your eyes you know all these sorts of things and i think opening economies too soon that the other update they had given me was that you know we need to continue this for several more months at least 3 months to even 8 months because if people go soon if you go back this is going to come in waves and it's getting more virulent more mutations it's affecting newborns inspecting younger people you're not going to have an economy that no one's going to want to go out. for the 1st time a u.s.

president's name will be printed on federal relief checks millions of americans are receiving $1200.00 as part of an economic stimulus package those receiving paper checks will see president donald j. trump printed on the left hand side u.s. treasury officials have denied reports distribution of the checks was delayed because trump wanted his name on them elsewhere sweden has reported a shopping crease in the number of cold 1980 s. with 170 people reported killed by the virus on wednesday that's up from 114 the previous day so fos weeden has not impose a total lockdown compared to other european countries more than 1200 people have died of the virus and 12000 have tested positive whole reeses in monaco and says the government claims the figures don't paint an accurate picture. they say that this is exaggerated because there was a lower number reported over the weekend in fact opposite to it being the greatest

number of deaths they say the level is actually is actually going down but they are coming in from a great deal of criticism one of the one of their harshest critics has said today that the only way to undo the damage of what she's calling a a high risk social experiment is to immediately put stockholm in lockdown what the health agency would say is that ok we are mainly recommending things but people are generally following them people are working from home in great numbers people are holding social distance people are not visiting elderly relatives however that's ok to an extent in a general sense but there are parts of society that can do this i was in the ring could be area of stockholm a couple of weeks ago that much like some of the hardest affected bars of new york

is a place where people live very closely together often large families in the same apartment and i spoke to the somali community there who who some of the elders were the some of the initial people to die in the corona crisis. been pointed out by the health agency one of the worst affected parts of society and as they told me they can work from home that taxi drivers their bus drivers there their nurses they have to go out to work on the frontline and they are being heavily affected now. france has reported a big jump in the number of corona virus deaths 1400 fatalities on wednesday taking the nationwide death toll to more than 17000 the government says the latest figures include deaths from recent days that hadn't been reported the number of intensive care patients has strong for a 7th consecutive day giving some signs of hope and nearly 700 same as all france's seans go to aircraft carrier have tested positive for coal that 19 many of them

were on the carrier when it returned to port into law on monday at least $31.00 sale is half in hospitalized. now france at the u.n. is pushing a new draft for a global ceasefire to give the world time to overcome covert 19 diplomatic editor james james bays explains it follows disagreements between states about what role the u.n. should play in the pandemic. as the g. 7 group of countries prepare to meet on the pandemic one part of the international community the u.n. security council has been paralyzed by inaction it still hasn't come up with a resolution that has been able to pass all new coded 19 that symposium because initially some countries said it wasn't a matter for the security council and there was an unseemly rao between the u.s. and china the u.s. wanted to call the virus the womb hand virus now although progress is being made

from its has been pushing a new draft and the french ambassador interim ote interview with me told me that he thought it was possible they could have a resolution in the next few days everybody know that they are different views on the pandemic i think we are doing really really good try to race now i really hope that to reach out and be in a position to take action in a coming days in a security council 15 members to gather and make sure that we agree on this decision of for cities in that countries on the edge and out that can see that and agree on a humanitarian truth to be able to fix this endemic in all these countries. it's now more than 3 weeks since the u.n. secretary general antonio good terrorists called for a global ceasefire what will be the secretary general's view if and how important

would such a resolution be it would be send in a stream really strong and powerful message if the secretary general's call for a global cease fire was backed by a security council resolution the member states will decide i did the security council members well this side but i think we are very pleased with the the impact it has had and the residents the secretary general's call his hat i'm told what's in the current draft of a security council resolution doesn't go as far as the secretary general's call for a global ceasefire instead they're talking about a say sion of hostilities in all the conflicts that are currently on the security council's agenda. as sent to other news now and more then 2 dozen rang of refugees have died on a ship that had been addressed 4 weeks off the coast of bangladesh nearly 400 refugees one board the boat that had been trying to reach malaysia they were

rescued by bangladesh coast guard on wednesday hundreds of thousands of arriving after that persecution in myanmar following a crackdown by the military and still ahead on al-jazeera trying to make a sense of how to use masks and gloves we ask an expert plus. who served with so i got to know who was out who in the building who was a 99 year old war veteran has raised $11000000.00 for the u.k.'s national health service will tell you how he did it. how it was still got some rather unsettled weather affecting the middle east it's a flare up as we go through the next couple of days but at the moment you can still see a large area cloud into the eastern side of saudi arabia around the u.a.e.

and in concert the stillwater 2 shows the clear through as we go through thursday crisis guys coming back in behind me you can follow that will chain of showers down towards the southern end of the red sea just some showers lingering here as you go on into the weekend the west weather will move across iran it'll push into afghanistan tended to peter out as it does so follow this showers further back across the gulf of aden still some showers there into the ethiopian highlands and also just around the whole of africa serve anyway you do see a shower here your mark will see some localized flooding they were all going to shop side from time to time some very wet weather still continuing into parts of eastern kenya and see that eastern side of tanzania well big downpours coming through here in the show is of course stretch across the heart of africa and on. into the gulf of guinea so was seasonal rains are rolling through here now the rains that we have across eastern parts of south africa things are in the process of pulling out of the way watcha south africa will be fine and dry as we go through the next couple of days but we have got some west of whether it's

a southern past mozambique. but. when the news breaks over the night the dumping of garbage in the river by the government has wrecked our lives when people need to be high and the story needs to be tone to many coming to this place is the only chance they have to eat at least once a day with exclusive interviews and indent to points for obvious reasons as the world battles of potential new pandemic we'll bring you the latest developments from around the globe al-jazeera has teams or grounds to remove brutally documentaries and life means. we move. forward. the end.

you're watching al-jazeera live from doha a reminder of our top stories donald trump says the u.s. has turned a corner and the number of new coronavirus infections is beginning to still he says he'll unveil plans to reopen the economy on thursday but a record number of americans more than 2300 were killed by a virus in the past 24 hours bringing the total to merely 31000 feet honesty's in the u.s. the head of the world health organization says he regrets a decision by president trump to stop funding the body trampas accused of mishandling the coronavirus pandemic response a u.n. agency says its main focus is fighting the fires. that the united nations says is the worst possible moment to cut funds to the w.h.o. sentiments echoed by many around the world china is urging the u.s. to fulfill its obligations to the group saying the decision to cut funding will

affect all countries the european union says there's no justification for washington's decision at this moment when cote their efforts are needed more than ever germany says strengthening the world health organization is one of the best investments a nation could make and the african union chief says trump's decision is deeply regrettable political analyst eric hamm says donald trump is undermining u.s. interests as he looks for someone to blame for the outbreak. what we're seeing from the president is just another blow at the multilateral engagement that the united states has so diligently worked at for the last half century or more and the president going after the war 'd world health organization is very similar to what we have seen from the president pulling out of the paris climate accords going after the g. 7 after nato this is a president who has issues multilateral engagement in organizations and quite frankly it's something that his base finds to be very popular in this resonates

with that base and also given that over the last few days we have seen the president we have seen criticism of the president for his delayed response to adequately addressing the cole in 1000 response in the united states and so this is a welcome opportunity for the president to find a scapegoat that he can latch on to and he can attack now around the world more people know wearing masks and gloves to try and stop being infected by coal they have 19 and there's an increasing amount of tips and advice online showing people how to use them here's how you can take off and store a surgical mask for reuse without potentially contaminating the inside this video for instance demonstrates how to store a mask for reuse without accidentally contaminating it hello what can i do for you. oh my goodness look at the perfect area oh but now here it's ok it's totally fine because i'm wearing my gloves amoco and this mess uses ink to

demonstrate the risks of cross contamination even if you're wearing a message keep washing your hands every time you touch anything especially your phone and i cannae came the now spoke earlier with dr gregory poland who heads the vaccine research group at the mayo clinic she asked him about the best way to protect yourself. you know i brought with me a standard surgical mask this has a malleable so that you can mold it over the nose it looks like this but the way you take it off is this way you never touch the outside of the mask you have to assume that that's contaminated and you throw it away then with a glove if you have gloves on the reason you can't reuse gloves very well as the only proper way to take the gloves off is to slide a finger under this and peel it off so now it's inside out and gets

disposed of you can't really clean this very well and it destroys the integrity of the rubber night trial when should we wet mosques and gloves and with gloves can they give a false sense of security very much so with gloves i don't recommend that they be warned it's too easy to as you say give a false sense of security people touch their face that cetera the advantage of barehanded in this is that the virus does not go through your skin and when you wash your hands with soap any soap that soap destroys the membrane that the pirates need to be functional so hand washing is a very powerful tool in defeating defeating this what about with you using the mosques and when we should be using mosques is that any time we go outside for a walk going to the supermarket in the car when should we be using the. i would say

you wear a mask any time that you're going to be around anybody who is not your family member and a kind of mass that we're talking about is a homemade map so this is an example of one that my wife is making so it has 2 layers of very tightly woven cotton and then an interface layer that's very thick so that when she makes that and the malleable part is just a bread tie she can make a this one happens to be 4 layers thick go to rear ears like this and again when you get home you take it off put it right in the washing machine or into a plastic bag that you're going to wash later these are very valuable in 2 ways number one it decreases the chance you're going to grieve in the large respiratory droplets that can carry the virus and the 2nd thing is that it's

a memory aid so you don't touch your eyes nose or mouth. that the world health organization says it's extending instead of nation of an ebola outbreak in the democratic republic of congo as a global emergency 3 new cases including 2 deaths have been reported in the east sensitive beni the country is expected to announce the end of its 2nd war siebold break a few days ago at the epidemic has killed more than 2000 people since it broke out in august 28th. a covert 1000 is so contagious that health care facilities are netting spouses sons and daughters gather around the dying affair spreading the infection many nesses bill to great lengths to try and connect patients to their friends and family and offer them confit and that includes shelby vamos who describes the new normal as an i.c.u. nurse in the usa to one of them. one people in the hospital where i'm selves you know are patient that we just let out he was there for 20 days without seeing

anyone and you know his fiance would call in every day and that was all she guy it's just it's rough it's rough as that the patient that's right for the family members so i think i wish people kind of understood just how tough that is that it's not just this isn't just the flu it's something completely different and you're lately alone you go up in bahasa but all you know except for us and the people that they see know we're covering completely head to toe and as people we used to tell a health carts so it's kind of like skype and they have an i pad that we bring in the rooms and the families can get in this app and they're able to talk with the family members but i guess that most of our family and most of the patients up there they're on the ventilator they can't really talk so we'll just kind of set it up so they can be talking to them apparat it in and had i think all the family and all her family members are on there there's probably like 6 or 7 of them and i just i stood in marriage held up to your ear and they said their goodbyes and they prayed with her and then we sang we all sang amazing grace now hold her hand we put

on the gospel music so it was a really touching moment really kind of difficult moment and i think that's what you know a lot of our interactions have been having to do. geria could be facing the worst recession in more than 30 years the international monetary fund projects that africa's largest economy will shrink by 3.4 percent this year and that's because the coronavirus pandemic and global forced on the demand for oil and it's prices geria which are and most of his foreign revenue from oil is expected to lose millions of jobs ahmed interest rates for some of which. the global covered $1000.00 pandemic is taking a human and economic toll on nigeria its main resources oil demand and the market price is falling was quite adding to the crisis a dispute between major producers saudi arabia and russia which has driven prices to their lowest level in nearly 2 decades all the world producers have agreed to

cut production in order to shore prices there's been no significant rises yet it's not going to be easy for us and that what the president as dawn was the president told us is he does a want. development projects to suffer we've taken a lot of preemptive steps and we are very confident that would be shielded from some of these losses be an aspect that nigeria cut its daily output from point 1000000 dollars to 1800000000 before the oil producers meeting a few days ago and the new agreement has forced another cut in production by a father 417000 barrels a day. economists say this is leading to plant closures and job losses which there is to meet to be between 15 and 30 percent for now so really is that up as a lever right now nobody knows where that. they have.

to have earned absolute. also money to be up there yes. experts say even for those able to keep their jobs that are no guarantees of doing that full long. session is projected to continue into next year though at a slower rate representatives of organized labor here are concerned. injury. to many already this injury to life and they want. you both know. the national bureau of statistics report of 29000 said nigeria had 23 percent unemployment in 2018 but one official admitted that the number could top 33 percent this year and that was even before the current 19 pandemic and a sharp decline in all demand and pricing the nigerian government is cutting its

2020 budget estimates by nearly 40 percent with negative implications on financing development and job creation. a report from the world bank predicts africa's economy will lose between $37.00 to $79000000000.00 in output this year nigeria in particular is expected to account for a substantial part of that loss more bad news for a country which only 2 years ago emerged from its worst recession since $97.00. al-jazeera a quarter. i haven't rights watch has released a report accusing guinea's government failing to protect some 16000 displaced people after they built a new dam bt hydroelectric dam located on the cooler a river is just operating later this year but the ride rice says the project has ruined the livelihoods and security of people in the area. a british war veteran has raised more than $11000000.00 for the u.k.'s national health service captain

sooner than others and with exum of the states could actually open up before the deadline of may 1st and i think that will be a very exciting time indeed governors are looking forward they're chomping at the bit to get going again not all states are the same they're very different some are having very little problem some of done such a good job that they have or a little problem and they're ready to go. the head of the world health organization says he regrets a decision by president trump to halt funding to the body w.h.o. says its main focus is fighting the virus has accused the u.n. agency of mishandling the coronavirus pandemic response new york is still on the frontline of the pandemic in the u.s. with the highest number of reported infections and deaths and even though you infections seem to snowden recent days hospitals there stretched to breaking point elsewhere sweden has seen a shopping crease in the number of krona virus fatalities with 170 people killed on
