i was showing. al-jazeera world hears rare eyewitness accounts of the dramatic story of the assassination of major p.l.o. figure khaleel was here in a secret israeli operation assassination in tunis on al-jazeera. this is al-jazeera. hello i'm still raman you're watching the al-jazeera news our live from our headquarters here in doha coming up in the next 60 minutes no time to ease our police 3 more weeks of restrictions for the united kingdom to counter the coronavirus also the queues keep getting longer in the u.s. another 5000000 people jobless in just a week as the pandemic shutdown hits the economy. more than

a 1000000 coronavirus tests are being rolled out across africa as the continent steps up its fight against the pandemic. could again be set for a truce the country's u.n. envoy says he expects want to be agreed in the immediate future. hungry and exhausted hundreds of bringing the whole rescued but others starve to death on a refugee boat. good to be with us and welcome to the news are the wide long term effects of the coronavirus pandemic are becoming even clearer as lockdown measures begin to show an effect on infection numbers the british foreign secretary says easing restrictions now could undo progress that's been made and a few hours ago the u.k. extended lockdown measures for at least another 3 weeks. in the u.s.

the number of unemployed continues to rise rapidly a further 5000000 people have registered as jobless in the past week and that's on top of the 17000000 who applied since the shutdowns began and it's also hope that some of that economic impact will be shouldered by 7 of the world's largest economies g 7 leaders have agreed to work together on humanitarian and economic recovery well chalons our correspondent been following events forests in london of course the lockdowns continue in the united kingdom it is a new reality yet again for the next 3 weeks that the british public have to get used to and they're still looking towards the government for when the end may be in sight some time in the future. here down the the length of this high street behind me this is the high street in southern london the southern outskirts of london you've got a pretty much identical message that's been put up in all of the shops and it

basically says devalued customers. to the unforseen circumstances in the government's advice we are shouting for the foreseeable future and all of those pieces of paper those messages were put up 3 weeks ago when the shops shut their doors for the last time and we have now found out today that they are going to be there those pieces of paper for at least another 3 weeks longer now and that is because the government feels it does not have the right criteria for lifting the partial lockdown measures yet and in the press conference that dominic robb gave a few hours ago he outlined what these 5 criteria are in order to lift the lockdown they have to feel confident that the n.h.s. has been sufficiently protected us national health service to cope with the demands that are being put on critical care they have to feel that there is

a sustained drop in the number of daily deaths they have to feel that there is a sustained drop in the number of new cases they have to trust that there is enough testing and personal protective equipment to deal with future demand and they have to be a confident that there is going to be no 2nd peak of the current virus outbreak until those 5 criteria have been met to dominic rob there will be no lifting of the lockdown well of course this is all driven rory by the science and dominic rudd was very insistent during that press conference we watched it here live also that it was the science that was driving the government decisions and i think people have faith in the science sometimes they lose faith in their politicians. well yeah this is the tension that is at the heart of how these governments and the u.k. being one of them responds to this outbreak how much of it is scientific how much

of it is politics the u.k. government from the very beginning has said we act all the advice of the scientists and every time you see a government minister coming out and giving a press conference which is daily they are always flanked on either side by a couple of scientists now those can be chris witty who is the chief medical officer they could be patrick vallance who is the chief scientific officer or any of their deputies but basically the governor's message is the scientists are telling us what to do or what they think we should do and we are acting accordingly so dominic rob when he was speaking today was giving the latest scientific advice given the latest scientific evidence and he was saying things like well the we know now the the the the rate of infection in the u.k. . is basically our rays reproduction for the corona virus infections is less than

one that means that one person is infecting fewer than one other person which makes it means that the the the plateau has been reached impasse and possibly even it is starting to drop now but yes the the the scientists have been saying for at least a week we don't think the lockdown should be lifted yet and consequently that is what the government has said as well rory for the update thanks worry chalons only london well medical workers in some parts of the united kingdom are starting to run out of personal protective equipment p.-p. as it's known now that's despite the government saying that there's enough gear and those who need it most are getting it now many health care workers now improvising to keep themselves safe as jonah hill reports. i do l.t.a. are a renowned surgeon with many years experience in the national health service donna campbell a health care support worker who could light up a room with her infectious laugh just some of the u.k.

health care workers who've lost their lives to covert 19 often for want of proper protective equipment my basic understanding of infectious diseases increased exposure equals increased risk of contracting that disease and as and key workers as health care workers particularly we are at increased risk of exposure because we are working with people who have current virus every single day and without the right protective equipment then there will be people who die because of being at work every doctor is a nonprofit organization run by doctors campaigning to keep health workers safe as well as highlighting how far behind other countries the u.k. is in the provision of protective equipment or p p e every doctor hears daily from medical staff forced to use improvised methods to keep themselves safe this is happening months after concerns about corona virus

were 1st raised by health workers in the u.k. and despite repeated government promises that items of p.p. have been procured in their hundreds of millions and of being widely distributed. as britain nears the peak of its separate demick dangerous gaps remain well i'm sorry if people feel that the happy failings will be very very clear about that but at the same time we are in an in an unprecedented global health pandemic right now it is critics called the home secretary's apology half hearted and the public services union unison says the time for excuses are surpassed what we're continuing to see significant problems with the supply in 'd social care so you can't staff is still telling us that and there are major shortages we've got some members telling us that employees are refusing to wear face masks. to help close the gaps this group of london based on trip renault's has pitched in 3 d.

a result of the coronavirus pandemic know. about how they'll pay their bills the tough chicago has the story from chicago. if there was ever a boom time in this chicago neighborhood no one living here now remembers it the covert 1000 pandemic has shattered the already precarious lives of the many hourly workers in west tumbled park unscared scared more bizarre throughout 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 monti was operating a forklift and trying to save for an emergency now a global coronavirus them urgency 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

recommended levels so we have about 22000000 people now and unemployed my guess is that that could go to $30000000.00 in another month or so. we're likely to see. this quarter. being something like 35 percent below its peak so we're talking a numbers which we have are we sherpas are passing what we saw in the great depression by a considerable margin and we saw in the great depression output dropped by 26 percent between 129-1933 here we're talking about that's a 3 year period. out what we're talking now about out we're dropping just in 3 months by 30 by perhaps 40 percent no company is really going to be able to get back on its feet you know industry unless they know that their employees are safe and that they feel safe to go back to work and the customers feel safe to walk into

the store walking to the airplane or even to a farm with other farm hands their crops. you know so so it all depends on security and that goes back to testing. that's what our white house correspondent kimberly how could he joins me now from washington d.c. and of course the news can believe that the job figures again increase significantly is not news the president actually will want to hear. no it's not news that the president wants to hear but it's also not unexpected news because we heard that the estimates were somewhere in the neighborhood of $46000000.00 americans that lost their jobs almost overnight with the result of the stay at home orders that were put in place essentially across the country we now have federal guidelines to that effect up until the end of april but at minissha

lee and when they were put in place even the state levels a very quickly this is when people lost their jobs it happens all across the various sectors of the economy whether it was hospitality whether risk tourism whether it was even some white collar jobs people have found themselves at home and they have hope the case if you think you'll only when it came to small businesses that they'd be able to stay on the payrolls through one of the bailouts provided by the u.s. congress but unfortunately when it comes to the small business bailouts there is $350000000000.00 that was set aside for that that money has already run out and then attempt to extend that with a request by the white house for another 250000000000 that didn't make it through congress so very concerning is the fact that not only are many americans fighting cells out of work but they're also not being able to keep their jobs in some cases or they've not been able to file their claims and that's why we expect this number to continue to increase while it's in the 20000000 range now the reason it's not

higher is because of antiquated processing systems that can't keep up with the effort to simply process these claims so people can get unemployment protection and of course it seems that you might see the president and some of the devices and scientists want to head on collision because the president really does want to open up america for business but that's not what the advisers and scientists are saying . that's correct and what we expect is that with this upcoming coronavirus task force briefing that there will be some guidance that is tailored to particular sectors of america that may not be experiencing the krona virus effects in the same way that we've seen for example in california although that seems to be doing much better or in new york which is considered the state that was the epicenter for some time but even there we're seeing a bit of a so-called flattening of the curve but at the same time we have here in washington d.c. and a lot of northeast states including new york an extension of these guidelines for

staying at home so it is sort of complicated for the u.s. president who has claimed he has total authority over this decision to really it falls to the governors who have been acting independent of the federal government throughout this process so what we're expecting is that there may be some guidance we heard this from dr deborah burke's who's on the task force that those states that may not have significant numbers of provirus in their particular states that they may be given some guidance for reopening but in terms of this be across the board the flick of a light switch in till we have contact testing until we have contact tracing rather and testing widespread most of the public health officials have said it's simply impossible to do at this stage complete at all white house correspondent thanks very much. pres that jerusalem's alex a mole scoping suspended for the holy month of ramadan the council oversees the site says the compound will be closed to worshippers because of coronavirus there's

their borders and there was a previous boat they came april 5th where over 200 rohingya made it to langkawi they're still in quarantine and there's concerns about what's going to happen to them. the u.n. has offered to help move this group to quarantine facilities and treat those needing medical care well that immediate future maybe certain incident the one many here where hoping for time to children dhaka bangladesh. now the united nations and yemen envoy says he expects the country's warring parties will formally agree to a truce in the immediate future martin griffiths says he's been negotiating with both sides for the past 2 weeks our diplomatic editor james bays has more from the united nations we certainly have had positive developments in the past but this is a moment i think where yemen faces a very very precarious feature with the threat of covert 19 with the threat of further escalation of violence we've had a call as you won't be aware from the u.n.

secretary general for a global ceasefire well what martin gryphus has now made clear is that following of that call he has actually had very productive negotiations with the sides in the conflict not taking place face to face of but virtually and he believes there is a window of opportunity over the past 2 weeks or more persons and. i have been in constant negotiations with the parties on the texts of these agreements on the detail on the wording of these agreements we expect them to agree on formally adopt these agreements in the immediate future. so it sounds very positive indeed but it is worth telling you some of the other information put forward to the u.n. security council there's been no stopping the violence violence has continued to escalate throughout this year there is there are real worries about the

humanitarian situation on the ground some 13000000 yemenis rely on the u.n. to help them and the other problem other than the specter of code 19 is the fact that u.n. funding is running out the urgently need money and the world health organization saying 80 percent of clinics will have to close in a matter of months if they don't get more funding so a very difficult precarious situation for yemen really staring down at the worst case scenario and because of that though it looks like this might be a moment where diplomacy can take hold. still ahead here on the news and teach as an empty tables china small businesses with such a continue suffering through until it's true. battling poverty and decades of oppression we look at how i want to teach in this community in his own working to prevent the fire risk from spreading those stories after the.

hello there friday not a bad day hopefully across much of the middle east be rain across areas of the arabian peninsula working there i said me across into iran but that will continue to work eastwards across into afghanistan and pakistan as we head through friday the eastern end of the madwoman see more showers and stiff winds coming in from northern areas a soggy but all the time to get the south a that rain developing again particularly heavy into southern areas of iraq across into and again as similar areas really into saudi possibly pushing on towards keeping the time which is a little bit on the child's there and thunderstorms just $25.00 in doha 33 celsius across into riyadh and then the rains particularly heavy across the d.l.c. also some very heavy amounts of rain developing into southern areas of most upbeat

training all the way across once again into tanzania some very heavy amounts of rain and really becoming very extensive right the way across towards cameroon similar story really is a head through saturday you can see those rains really gathering in the gulf of guinea and then we've got more scattered showers rewrite the way down again into more central and eastern as the south africa and all the while more rain showers through eastern areas of madagascar it's warming up there in cape town you got a high there. of 25. save humanity i really really not getting a. man ma is on trial from rape to genocide the government stands accused of committing atrocities against their own injure people want to one east investigates on

al-jazeera. take the worst possible material you radio grounded into dust comparable to flour and make up the ladder and put it into a place where people live think is a colossal bad idea has value for many people after this or the silent heat. but does it make you feel like you feel like a murderer we have created an enormous in the mental disaster. and investigation south africa toxic city on al-jazeera. the roof. oh oh oh.

welcome back you're watching all this there is news hour with me celeron a reminder of our top 2 stories british foreign secretary dominic robb has announced a lockdown restrictions will be extended for at least another 3 weeks rob says that he's been advised that relaxing measures to syria would risk damaging public health and the economy. also at least 22000000 americans have registered for unemployment benefits in the last month as a result of the pandemic that's after another 5200000 filed jobless claims in just the past week and in nigeria at least 18 people have been killed by security officials here in forcing strict lockdown measures last month the government ordered to strict sions in several major cities to counter cope with 90. percent west african are because guineas government is being accused of destroying the livelihoods and food security of thousands of people who've been forced to leave their homes by and you project and human rights watch report says the

government's failed to provide adequate land compensation or support for those affected the so a pretty hydroelectric dam will have been displaced or has displace $16000.00 people when it's completed later in the year and is expected to double guinea's power supply it's been funded as part of china's belt and road initiatives. yes i mean that there is an africa research fellow at human rights watch and joins me now via skype from washington d.c. good to have you with us on the program the story of people being displaced and governments making feeble compensation payouts and inadequate relocation demands it is one we've heard of time and again why is this situation any different well i think the situation is and particularly different for guinea because importance of the damage jailable displacement 16000 people as needed are just slaves one of the largest displacements in indonesia history at so it's going to

have a huge impact on the country both in terms of displacement numbers but also in what sort of sense for the country electricity in your opinion and from your reports what haven't the government done in your opinion i mean could they have offered other alternatives sure so one of the biggest issues here is that the 6000 people are mostly farmers and burghers who lie on the land so one of the things we highlighted in the report is the failure of the government to provide compensation for that land international standards require that individuals and communities irrespective of whether they have title to that land be it either the placement land or actual compensation that has not been done here in terms of the relationship between guinea and china because obviously guinea needs electricity it needs help it needs funding it needs that infrastructure they are between the devil and the deep blue sea to a certain extent because the people demand the facilities that they require to

develop as a nation. well this is not necessarily an either or situation i'm eligibility it's important for a variety of since you are economic rights but the role here of the government and also china water and electric which is a stakeholder in this project is to ensure that the communities that are displaced are returned to at a minimum under international standards their standard liver living prior to this lease that there are a number of mechanisms that the project is put in place to ensure that these communities. are not in operation actually active will benefit from the dam and benefits sharing mechanisms which is the standard at least under the aca last director for large hydro projects in the country but oversleep is an idiot of those obviously the government themselves and the communities are different ends of this particular argument so in your opinion where would the the middle. the middle

line be that would hold the middle position the that would suit both sides is that want or is it too late to look for one. i think that i think there is a position that that can be easily adopted here which is a position that can forms with the standards of the project the government cell has agreed to follow which are world bank standards on on resettlement in the form again providing completion land providing assistance you know these are things that are budgeted or according to the environmental and social impact assessment as well as the resettlement action plan so there is a budget allocated for this and then in future you know there is a wall to be played by. the export import bank which is financing this project in the form of providing it's not technical assistance in the form of auditing in the

form of ensuring that these projects moving forward comply with the environmental and social standards that they agreed to comply with and also by with international human rights standards we should see if there is any movement on this in the coming months the moment doesn't end the from human rights watch joining us from washington d.c. thanks very much for your time thank you. health officials across africa are stepping up their response to corona virus by rolling out more than a 1000000000 tests well the continent to struggle to get its hands on medical equipment tons of the country's fight for supplies experts a concern to the already weak health systems in some countries will be overwhelmed the african centers for disease control say the new tests will start next week by cleo is the program manager for emergency response of the world health organization regional office africa joins be on skype from brazil in the republic of congo good to have you with us on the program so thanks for your time but i think the world

was bracing itself for the effect of sort of covert 19 on africa but countries are trying their best despite a lack of resources the message of the w.h.o. was test test test come after could do it. there is mrs up above literally what we need to get done but something else african countries not facing. challenges and then thought for having access to. real gent and even some of the concert series so on so it probably they have been the beginning of the outbreak we moved from 0 to a number of 3 in 2 countries senate gone and stuff up break up to a novel about some 44 countries. i want to reach on and they hit 7 other countries in the east then maybe 10 on the return not substrate got the capacity of testing no big surprise by which the african union is

saying it's very quick. but costs better some are to be done if we want to test mark ups that before about how you raise many behind this contract because testing . it guides they they struck e.g. on where it's moving and they can also have to take that case and have to but the outcome in terms of treatment in terms of the situation that you'll facing now how easy is it or has it been to get the personal protection equipment the p.p. equipment you need to keep frontline medical work because who are already scattered across the african continent safe. didn't. we wait for up to come to you and i was well established we supply some at the

beginning that we are in the process we have so tremendously far from the kind of union doublet so we are actually dispatching. a number of bits in countries it's called is slowly dying it's the shipment because this what does it require 4000000 off the optic on country that can not if i want to practice this items on the market because they are almost up but just by countries that mommy it's all about money fudging by themselves spend we have this we don't have such use capacity a reduction in africa likely it's good to get the update thanks very much for joining us from the world health organization in brazil thank you for your time thank you a pleasure. to college where the number of covered 1000 cases rises it's 1st nation

and you could have it out with them the relationship between the media and politicians is supposed to be complex but according to this new report from the committee to protect journalists that trumpet ministration is systematically undermining the press his credibility the environment treaty chilling effect for journalists or criticize you know for critical journalism though we do see that journalists continue to do their despite this environment we've seen online harassment becoming major issue and actually ranks as one of the top concerns of female reporters especially according to the c p j report the administration has retaliated against reporters whose questions they don't like you know you're a fake tried to prosecute those who leaked or published confidential information and scrubbed government websites of information that doesn't support trump's political agenda just recently trump's reelection team has threatened to sue local t.v. stations that air political ads such as this one criticizing the president's handling

of the covert 19 outbreak i don't take responsibility at all legal experts say the lawsuits likely wouldn't succeed but courtney ratch says the long term damage could be hard to repair. when you how was the media when you have confidence in journalism vital role of press freedoms vital role in a democracy it can become easier to think about revising libel laws the committee to protect journalists says that the trumpet ministrations attacks are making it much more difficult for the process to report on the covert 19 pandemic because increasingly the public doesn't know who to believe roseland al-jazeera alexandria virginia well still have hailed the news out. becoming a mass that we're talking about is that there's a whole made me ask. we get advice from a doctor on how to stitch together your own protection during this pandemic.

ool the all. welcome back around the world more people are wearing masks and gloves to protect themselves against covert 19 there's been plenty of advice on how people can use the here's how you can take off and store a surgical mask for reuse without potentially contaminating the inside well this video for instance just holding a plastic container against the mask and then putting the straps over the outside of it dr gregory poland is a professor of infectious diseases at the u.s.

based mayo clinic explained the best way to use masks and gloves. 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'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 i would say you wear a mask any time that you're going to be around anybody who is not your family member and the kind of mask that we're talking about is a is

a homemade mask 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 coat over 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 droplets that can carry the virus and the 2nd thing is that it's a memory 8 so you don't touch your eyes nose or mouth and that turns out to be very important but it seems what from home ashes also apply to one of the well best known street artists bag think has crafted his latest piece and is

a bathrobe not the artist posted the rodents with the lion lie wife hates it when i walk from home. sure she does now the head of world athletics of us think i was told al jazeera that it's doing everything it can to catch drugs cheats despite krone virus restrictions they were speaking to our sports correspondent andy richardson cancellation would have been out of the question. well was really the only option we really haven't been and i think everybody's instinct was to try. and hold on for as long as you possibly could particularly for the athletes because that place for them to suddenly lose a 1000000 people or paralympic games were at least a summer of competition cancellation would not have been the right approach and apart from anything else it would have then left you know a massive. international talent that athletes love the olympic games they are very

important for international federations handholding ecosystem of limping sport relies on broadcast rights sponsorships all those all those things that keep our sports healthy could you see events taking place out of made for t.v. events which don't involve fans and initially. it's possible that some stores talk about it i can't tell you that i'm particularly excited by that concept and i would rather that we use to bring communities back together than to have them in our stadiums for that i think will be the great driver once we get out of this awful pandemic. you know populations people community is from cities to small villages are going to look for 'd help and through this period so i would actually rather have our outstandingly talented out it's being celebrated by crowds in stadiums that are recovering from some really dark days day some of the athletes

you speak to have concerns that some of the cheats out there may see this as a window of opportunity where out of competition drug testing is obviously some restricted at the moment yes they do and we've been our issue of the work and the fact that it's in so it's you that. is still flat out. still all they are still out there making sure that wherever possible they are going to provide that level 'd playing field. look there's no point in being coy or naive about it yes you know social distancing lockdown have made it difficult for our testing authorities our big national anti doping agencies 'd and organizations like the athletic it's a it's you well that that is to me a will to do what they were doing just a few weeks ago but no athlete should be sitting there thinking this is a nancy go. through freezer. and that is that he's off
