$5200000.00 have lost their jobs in a week that takes the total to at least $22000000.00 in less than a month and with many states expected to extend orders to stay at home only workers are really worried about how they're going to pay their bills the tesh accounting reports in chicago. if there was ever a boom time in this chicago neighborhood no one living here now remembers it a covert 1000 pandemic has shattered the already park areas lives of the many hourly workers in west tumbled park. scared more was that true or not i don't know what's going to happen next i don't know what my next move is going to be less than 2 weeks ago jose monte was operating a forklift and trying to save for an emergency now a global coronavirus that emergency has arrived and like millions of people he's been furloughed indefinitely. bunty i joined hundreds of chicagoans waiting outside

for several hours to get a week's worth of donated groceries those in line told me the money saved on food must be used to pay for rent and medicine munty he says he can survive without electricity or gas he's worried about getting evicted from his apartment and becoming homeless i gotta take it day by day because if i don't and i'm going to lose my mind for the 1st human being this is. a group of nuns in a priest the size of a football team and run the mission of our lady of angels food pantry where the need has more than tripled the last few weeks church services are cancelled unable to offer a smile or a pat on the back to people seeking solace in crisis they're trying to minister via phone and e-mail in this is the time that the learn to write it for us to all re-evaluate the most important things in our lives determine for auburn how grateful we should be for our lives for the get they got it given us their lives

well son vogue is a resident scholar at the american enterprise institute and he's joining us from washington d.c. by skype thanks very much indeed for being with us donald trump has been determined that the economy is going to open as soon as possible but with so many people out of work in the united states to an outsider that seems almost an impossible hope. well yeah i think we're we were definitely not ready for the economy to reopen because obviously you know the president can can can say to the left would like to reopen the economy and even governors and mayors can go people that are ready to reopen the economy but that's not actually going to work as long as people are worried that the public health threat is not on the intro and people are not going to go back to restaurants to bars to sports stadiums unless they're the spread of the disease under control and widespread testing or some sort of

treatment it's available and so i think both the president and out of people who support this you know we can just reopen tomorrow if we if we if we'd like to are way too optimistic what are the sections that business that are going to be fastest to recover and what are the ones that are going to be slowest. well i think that the sectors that are going to be slower started ones dead rely on reasonably large groups of people in confined spaces to get a read so include some of the sectors i just mentioned but also things like the aviation hotel industry you know issues like that i think the sectors that will recover the fastest include sectors that have basically continued to function as they normally do when somebody glues you know your grocery stores a lot of it back for. old you know other services that do not rely on in person

contact and then in addition of course there is parts of the agriculture may fracture sectors that are basically continue as they normally do the big risk is that there will be a big drop in demand even when we try to reopen because we have such high levels of unemployment and because there is a risk that a lot of businesses will businesses will go into bankruptcy and so if that happens then suddenly every industry will be affected very negatively and so i think that's where policy makers should try to make a difference you mentioned the airline industry in that the tourism industry the hotel industry as being amongst those slowest to recover and yet those of course of the industries that donald trump is specifically keen on trying to bailout how is that going to affect the american economy going forward. well we've seen in the in the small business support program that payroll protection program we've seen that

that program is in principle restricted to businesses with under $500.00 employees but it is extended precisely in some of those industries that business it is that have less if you would have $500.00 employees or establishment and so i think were babsy in some of that influence there i mean i think otherwise i think the president will will be very focused on making sure that the industries in which he has a personal financial interest. receive as much support as possible from the federal government i you know i don't think this administration is married to very didactic old rules and so i think for it to that extent i think it's good news for those industries. some virga thank you very much indeed for your time at least 18 people in nigeria have been killed by security officials who've been forced strict measures last month the government ordered the lockdown in major cities to come to

a coronavirus it was extended for another 2 weeks on monday with more on this let's go to on the dress and the capital 1st of all just give us some more detail if you can about this particular incident. i want to basically 18 people have been killed and 8 of them were actually killed by allegedly killed by correctional officers i mean the prison officers in the northwestern state of katrina stayed then the police were accused of killing 7 individuals army allegedly responsible for 2 of the deaths and a local community enforcing the lockdown in southeast nigeria was also responsible for one killing one individual now security forces in nigeria have been accused separately by individuals or osment during this the urine the lockdown in several

states we're seeing security forces mountain roadblocks in towns and cities checking cars checking for identities and all of that and in the process we were told there were reports from better spots of the country alleging that several abuses had been carried out by the security forces apart from the usual demand for bribes are people who were harassed and in the 8 case of the 18 people these were people who were shot for either allegedly violating the lockdown order of one offense or the other of course this is already adding to the tension that there is a nigeria because the economy is under pressure because particularly of all because of falling oil prices absolutely the economy nobody knows the direction it's going to take government officials are trying to on the fears of a possible meltdown but the economies in nigeria here are saying the bihari writing is on the world people can see that virtually with. the impact of global oil

pricing or oil prices on the nigerian economy and with people starting to lose jobs and nobody knows when this pandemic will end or will pass a lot of people fear that this will result in a very very dangerous situation for the nigerian economy. the global coverage $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 is dawn was the president told us is it doesn't 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 of nigeria cut its daily output from point 1000000 dollars to 1800000 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 companies that may have a stellar record now nobody knows where that. they have. to have an absolute. 0 sum up to be up there yet experts say even for those able to keep their jobs there are no guarantees of doing that for long. my generous assertion is projected to continue into next year though at

a slower rate representatives of organized labor here are concerned. injury. too many already guess injury to life and they want to live in. their boat no. the national bureau of statistics report of 2900 said i generally 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 1000 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. i report from the world bank predicts africa's economy will lose between $37.00 to $79000000000.00 in output this in 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 1987. al-jazeera. displaced people in yemen say their living conditions are deteriorating after years of war there are already severe shortages of food and medical supplies many are worried covered 19 could reach their counts $100.00 the story. living in a quagmire at reebok camp in yemen a southern region of large hosts nearly 400 families they fled the fighting in the western city of her day that nearly 2 years ago escaping with their lives but little else we haven't received relief aid for 9 months relief organizations have stopped coming here and because there's a curfew in place people cannot get out to work they can't meet food medicine carpet blankets and much more most of the people in the camp are women and children

finding food is a daily struggle drinkable water israel so is a decent education for the young. these are their homes this is what happens when it rains yemen has been at war since 2015 when saudi arabia and the united arab emirates start of the conflict with the who the shia group that had taken power by force in the capital sana'a according to a recent report by human rights watch more than 17000 civilians have been killed and injured and more than 20000000 are facing food insecurity of those 10000000 are at risk of famine and now this the threat of course on a virus one of them i am this is a dangerous disease that threatens the whole world so we must protect ourselves and our children the 1st confirmed infection in yemen was announced last week the dinner. we have suggested

a few measures that includes distancing between tents and preventing gatherings with support from unicef but we need sen you couldn't médecins entertain our stuff and how to dispense they needed care in case of an outbreak of the disease. this camp is just one of many across yemen there are 10 more in this province alone in the northern region of how the who this camp is another instance of the misery that war can bring human is already one of the poorest countries in the region it's now divided between warring sides foreign and local the conflict is hampering the work of relief organizations the u.n. has called for a humanitarian ceasefire to allow aid to be brought in and virus measures implemented saudi arabia announced a cease fire but was to take effect earlier this month but new saudi air raids on fighting on the ground have been reported by fishel media it to me is the continuation of a war that has destroyed almost everything its primary victims are too young to act

or even to understand the united nations says more than half of the 24000000 people in yemen who need humanitarian help children their future and out of yemen as a viable state could be at risk unless there is allusion to the conflict is found to have a divide and. iran is reporting coronavirus deaths below 100 for the 3rd consecutive day some businesses deemed low risk reopened on saturday next week iran is expected to further ease restrictions in its capital tehran more than 4000 people have died and $78000.00 cases are confirmed there iran is the worst affected country in the middle east the pandemic will cause asia's economic growth to stall at 0 percent for the 1st time in 60 years that's the latest dire projection from the international monetary fund the outbreak has taken an unprecedented toll on the region it's expected to rebound next year but the outlook remains uncertain so

saying mourn is a regional economist and c.e.o. of c i m b private banking the scene for recessions over the course of his career and says this one stands out for speed. the shop is just very very unique in terms of boat supply shop things being stopped because of trouble restriction and lock down and then the contract in on them onsite spilling over from the lock down and probably restriction eating to job losses which cost a fall on them onsite so it's almost instantaneously we see good economies you're all very open small an economy like singapore here we already saw that reflected in the court the estimate of it to be shrinking almost nearly 3 percent young year itself and i think there was the all the spin being reported and repeated throughout the region primary different various degrees those people are just more of a position where the weather impact only came. to pull back i think all that the collapse

will build them on and impact of travel restriction in the 2nd quarter but generally very across the region whether you're talking about advanced economy and of korea or developing one malaysia indonesia thailand in terms of rebounding small open economy like singapore so it's singapore it's a canary in the coal mining so he's very much into link to global trade well the trade is expected to slump by 11 percent by the end met this year from about one percent growth last year so singapore up will probably feel the rebound 1st and then throw around the region obviously much will depend on their exposure tools the global trade and to what extent the corpse and domestic demand problem the contraction in the supply side is being men each as well. president of the european commission has apologized for not doing enough to help italy when the pandemic 1st

began italy is the hardest hit country in the e.u. with more than 21000 deaths are sort of on the lane praised europe's collective response in the past few weeks but admits e.u. countries one initially not ready yes it is true that no one was really ready for this it is also true that too many were not there on time when italy needed a helping hand at the very beginning and yes for that it is right that europe as a whole offers a heartfelt apology but saying sorry only counts for something if it changes behavior and the truth is true that it did not take long before everyone realized that we must protect each other to protect ourselves russia's outbreak is growing rapidly for the 5th straight day job ordered

and so we do get the lake effect snow but this is where the snow will be through thursday you can just see all this blue color behind this is that really really cold air that's piling down from the north to the south meanwhile we've got the very warm in place but this is the temperature in denver now the average high this time of year is 16 degrees celsius but at best on thursday minus 2 it does begin to come back up we'll see even the overnight lows should about one celsius for april it's minus 7 celsius on friday but it does improve as i say that cold air does continue to sing south was it really will impact kansas city but still it stays very warm across much of the south and as we go into saturday the danger hey with that warm air in the south is once again we could see $1.00 and $2.00 severe storms developing several definitely a situation we're going to monitor those storms as i say it's on the freezing cold winter we've got the severe storms to worry about journey thanks very much indeed. well we got plenty more coronavirus coverage coming up including. without the right protective equipment then there will be people who die because of being at work

unemployment claims in just the past week. at least 18 people in nigeria have been killed by security officials who've been forced to strict lockdown measures last month the government ordered a lockdown in several major cities to counter the coronavirus there was extended for another 14 days on monday. more than 2 dozen or hindu refugees have died of starvation on a boat that's been adrift for 2 months off the coast of bangladesh nearly 400 people on the vessel were trying to reach malaysia. the u.k. is expected to announce an extension to its nationwide partial lockdown the health minister says it's too early to relax restrictions that came into effect about 3 weeks ago well let's go to rory chalons in london rory just bring us up to date with the latest on this extension and what the situation is in the u.k. generally. well the prime

minister's spokesperson in the last hour or so has essentially confirmed what we already know without actually saying formally we still have this decision which is coming at some point later today about whether or not this lockdown is going to be extended but we are pretty much sure that it is going to be the prominent spokesperson said we shouldn't be letting things come back to normal too soon because of the risk of them obviously making the health situation worse and the corona virus outbreak last thing longer and costing more lives the politicians have been saying this the scientists have been saying this this is certain high streets on the on the southern outskirts of london and this is a pretty typical scene you can see this high streets up and down the country every shop this behind me has one of these whites bits of paper in the window saying the

due to unforeseen circumstances we apologize but we are closed for the foreseeable future. this 3 week period of that lockdown partial lockdown in the u.k. was jus' to be reviewed today and it is going to be parts you know as as i just said the expectation strong expectation is that when all these meetings of happens that dominate rob the man to step into the chorus johnson of the moment have come to the conclusion that the end outfront will be for at least another 3 weeks the u.k. is going to be having shuttered businesses people are going not going to be allowed to congregate in groups of more than 2 people. and that's the social distancing that everyone has been observing for the last 3 weeks or so is going to carry on for some some time longer rory i understand there's a new report in the u.k. that's been issued about how the corona virus has been affecting minorities what more do we know about that report. well this is something that the

government has said that it is going to do they confirm that earlier on today there have been calls over the last few days a week or so to look into why it is the black and ethnic minority people in the united kingdom have been disproportionately hit by coronavirus black and i think minority people make up 14 percent of the population of england wales and yet they make up a 3rd of the people in intensive care who have coronavirus so there are many theories about why this might be this report when it happens might try to find that out. chance bring us up to date with the situation in the u.k. rory thanks very much indeed. well let's return to the u.s. where the president wants restrictions lifted in up to 30 states in 2 weeks' time on a drum says the number of new infections in the u.s.

is slowing republican state lawmakers are pushing for a faster economic reopening mike hanna has more from washington d.c. . these daily news briefings are purportedly to keep the nation informed about the battle against the coronavirus but invariably the president strays off message and today he used the forums to rail against what he described as congregational obstruction in the confirmation of government officials and threatened 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 richard 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 is 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 easing up restrictions in a number of states pretty you're ready know will be opening up states some states

much sooner than others and we think some 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 i'm steve simon says the washington editor at large for the hill you also presents al-jazeera as weekly politics show the bottom line is joining us from his home in chester in maryland good to have you with us steve is the president actually able to force this through . well i don't think he's able to force it through if the governor is going to object but inside each of the states there is a group of businessmen and workers who are biting at the teeth to get back to work so it's become a political divide in the country just yesterday the pennsylvania state senate

voted to override the governor there and the governor stay at home order saying we have to get back to work so it's opening up a new fissure in american politics the president does not have the power to tell everyone to go back to work that really will rest with the governors but there's a fight out there how do you think this is going to break down or come across the country do you think i know i'm being simplistic about this but do you think it was the response we're prepared dominantly from republican led states or is it going to be white or spread than that. i think it could be wider spread i had a conversation with the mayor of miami the other day he is someone who came down with the cold virus francis or as he's a republican and he's the 1st issue of any major mayor before a stay at home order a curfew and he's been very cautious of the signal that he's been getting from the white house as a mayor of a major city the governor of florida has been stuck between with the pressures to

sort of reopen certain parts of florida because they feel like they're past the peak of new infections and i think that you're going to see a tug of war just as we saw in pennsylvania in places like florida but in south dakota which is another major hot spot for the virus right now we just had $600.00 new infections out of a meat plant there the governor has resisted giving any stay at home orders so i think it's going to be a patch a patchwork of different approaches and i think if there is a tension you just identified it it's between rural areas that feel like they're buffered against the worst spread of this virus versus urban centers and that is going to be where the tension is so there is a rural urban divide but many experts say this is about to hit rural america pretty hard there is going to be pressure though isn't there to to reopen the economy as quickly as america can in the same way as the rest of the world because as we're seeing today there's been a big hike in the number of jobless figures and the u.s.

needs to get its economy by on track i would imagine a lot of these state governors are going to feel that pressure so that people can starting money again and start spending money again. i think the pressure is already there i talked to the secretary of banking in securities in pennsylvania who is part of governor tom wolfe democratic governors cabinet there and said the pressure is a meant to get things going again but these people need to look at the numbers at an aggregate level in the united states we have almost 650000 official infections and many people believe that real number is closer to 4 or 5000000 real infections but not you know we don't know that footprint because we haven't tested an american now leads in the total number of deaths greater than any other nation we had a member of congress tree hollingsworth from the midwest united states that made a comment yesterday said that every community is going to have to weigh a certain number of deaths versus giving up what it means to be america and

american and said we're going to have to be able to absorb and tolerate essentially a certain number of deaths i have to tell you lots of governors will not want to take that liability some may be willing to but it's going to be a very nasty struggle i think between these 2 forces how to get your thoughts on the state failed state families thanks very much indeed thank you rob well donald trump is also doubling down on his attack on the world health organization he suggests it deliberately misled the world in the outing stages of the outbreak tragically other nations put their trust in the w.h.o. and they didn't do any form of ban and you see what happened in italy you see what happened to spain you see what happened to france. chose guides had failed to control their borders at a very crucial phase quickly unleashing the contagion around the world that was

a horrible tragic mistake or perhaps they had no 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 the head of the w.h.o. is calling for unity following trump's criticism 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're interested in due course doubly chose performance in tackling this pandemic will be reviewed by doubly just member states and the independent bodies that our employees to each will try to spot and see in accountability but for now our focus my focus is on stopping this virus and saving lives katrina you

has reaction from beijing on the u.s. president's decision. well china and the u.s. have been engaging in a bit of war of words regarding the current virus pandemic and beijing really sees that washington in their opinion is trying to simply say the blame when it comes to the criticism of the world health organization that's been very much echoed in state media reports today a lot of headlines for example here we've got an editorial from the global times which is a state media newspaper very much attacking trump in its decision to withdraw funding from the saying that it is a move against humanity and it sets a horrible precedent at a time when the world really should be rallying behind the agency it also says that trump really is using this is so some sort of political ammunition to try to bolster his chances of reelection as well and converse lee state media painting

china as the opposite kind of being very active in taking a kind of leadership role in this global flood against the pandemic reminding the public that china donated $20000000.00 to the agency in march and has since then sent plane loads of medical supplies testing kits and other funds to more than 80 countries since then i think people here genuinely believe that there is a downward trend in infections just evidenced by the government or been opening up of china people are going back to work the economy is getting started again and asked whether these numbers that we have these official figures are accurate there are a lot of questions china maintains out there of only being about 82000 cases of carbon 1000 across the country and that's much less in terms of numbers when you compare it to the u.s. or many european countries and that has raised eyebrows around the world more people are wearing masks and gloves to protect themselves against covert 19 there's been plenty of advice and how to use the. hey you can take off and store

a surgical mask for reuse where that potentially contaminated the inside this video for instance suggests holding a plastic container against a mosque and then putting the straps over the outside of it and dr gregory poland heads the vaccine research group and he's a professor of infectious diseases at the u.s. based mayo clinic explains the best way to use mosques. you know i brought with me a standard surgical mask this has a malleable so that you can mold it over the nose it hooks 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 contaminated and you throw it away then with the glove if you have gloves on the reason you can't reuse gloves very well as the only proper way

to take a glove up is to slide a finger under this and peel it off so now it's inside out and gets disposed done i would say you wear a mask any time that you're going to be around anybody who is not your family member and becoming a match that we're talking about is that there's 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 the 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 be your 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 breathe in the large respiratory
