'd we are not opening all at once but one careful step at a time told trump issues guidelines on restoring economic activity is the coronavirus death toll climbs above $33000.00 in the u.s. it's up to state governments to decide when. i don't make drugs out there i live from doha also coming up the u.k. government extends its longtime restrictions for at least 3 more weeks. brazil's

health ministry is fired after a series of remarks contradict the president and are as dumb playing are. hungry and exhausted hundreds of revenge or are rescued but rather starve to death on a regime change. so that president donald trump has outlined guidelines to reopen the u.s. economy ravaged by the coronavirus and job losses swelled towards levels of the great depression of the $930.00 s. and the death toll climbs above 30 $3000.00 but he's leaving it up to state governments to decide when to lift restrictions backing down from earlier claims that lifting lockdowns across the country would be his sole decision we took the greatest economy. in the history of the world and we closed it in order to win this war and we're in the process of winning it now our approach outlines 3 phases

in restoring our economic life we are not opening all at once but one careful step at a time and some states will be able to open up sooner than others some states are not in the kind of trouble that others are in but they're from our white house correspondent kelly how could he says that the whole trumpets contradicting his earlier statements on how to ease existing lock down rules. just days ago the u.s. president was declaring that he had total authority over deciding when the u.s. economy would reopen but perhaps listening to the guidance of his top public health officials dr deborah burke's as well as dr tony fouchier there that in fact he has really ceded to them the understanding that it will need to be a regional approach and that the state governors are the ones that will really have

the ultimate decision on when this occurs and i think one of the other big headlines out of this briefing is the fact that some of this could occur as early as tomorrow meaning that there are some states that have already gave it in as they call it in terms of the 1st set of criteria or phase one that would allow some of the population that is under $65.00 that does not have preexisting health conditions to get out into the workplace potentially as long as social distancing guidelines are still met in terms of keeping far apart not congregating in large groups meeting still under 10 people and also that there is extreme hygiene practices that are taking place in terms of hand washing and making the wiping down of the contact surfaces so this is interesting given the fact that while the president wouldn't name those states he didn't want to take away the announcement from the governors we could be hearing in the next 24 hours that some governors will begin starting

a phased in reopening of their economy let's take this on we just need to reach a good student who's a democratic political consultant who's advised the clinton white house among others who joins us live from washington via skype and welcome to the program these guidelines out a framework for how places can reopen and trump and his advisors say that the pretty careful and prudent plan. we'll see you know i said i think in your introduction to this segment that it was the health advisors that told him that he actually did not have the authority to put the switch and have the economies in the states open up in fact if he had advisors if they were the legal advisors because under the u.s. constitution he did not have that authority and this is a high risk proposition we actually have some of the biggest hot spots of the coronavirus united states now and some of the more sparsely populated states and

south dakota there's a meat packing plant that has. a proto virus so. and the other thing i would just say is donald trump knows that the next several months will be rather poor in terms of economic growth we're expecting as you said maybe to pressure the level numbers minus 20 minus 25 percent contraction of the u.s. economy and. you and i both watched on the truck i want to blame it on somebody and my guess is he knows a lot of the more heavily populated states york california florida are still dealing with this and basically said they're not going to open up anytime soon but the other states is now that he's talking about it and he said he said the states already clear of the virus he said can literally open up tomorrow and i think he named something like 29 states. well again i think if you look at it from

a population standpoint most of the population and economic developments. in the united states is taking place in those states and frankly will not be among the ones that will be opening up anytime soon look you heard governor cuomo said today he's going to extend the lockdown for all practical purposes until may 15th california heard the mayor of los angeles say yes expect any sporting events or concerts or any large gatherings this whole year so i don't think there's anybody who really believes the economy is going to kick back into gear in a big way but if everybody hopes that we get to the point where people can be back to their line of work for sure right what about trump's words that he was angry that he wasn't told about the virus he said he was going to get to the bottom of that you know so again one thing we can know about

president trump and confess i'm not his biggest fan is that you never own. bad news and the fact is we have documented many reports memos from his senior most advisors back in january some as late as new years last year that said this was coming out of china and was going to represent a global pandemic to his credit we know that down from doesn't read very much so it may well be that somebody put a memo in front of me he just didn't read it but he can't really say that he was it it buys because a lot of these briefings are actually oral rather than written so i don't think the record supports this notion but again he is loathe to take responsibility for things that i think this being such a devastating impact that the u.s. economy i mean and people's health it's not something that donald trump is going to own right he said he says it was some commission isn't it what does all this doing to his improved ratings and how does it need eve his opponents in the upcoming

election in november and j. blige. around the world you've seen approval ratings for the heads of state go up quite remarkably and that's true for many governors in the united states as well in fact almost most i would say almost all of them have seen their approval rate tick up quite substantially donald trump's went up a little and now it's already ticking back down. if you look at the polls to date let's concede that they don't really get much of a snapshot about what's going to happen in november but joe biden is ahead of donald trump both nationally and by a few points in most of the so-called swing states connect change of course but by the same token we know that the economic numbers that the negative growth there's going to be announced in january in july and likely again in october right before the election are likely to be pretty bleak and that's what the voters are going to be taking into the polling booth down from had called the u.s.

economy have calling card it's his reason for getting reelected i think it's going to be hard pressed to say that after these economic numbers come pouring in the looking so just more average against in depreciates so your perspective on this thanks very much and the rich you could see that thank you nic. an investigation is under way in the state of new jersey off the piles of bodies were found in a makeshift morgue at an elderly people and police discovered at least 17 bodies at a facility in andover offered to 568 people have recently died of at the facility half of them tested positive for covert 19 the discovery has raised concerns about the number of virus related deaths at the cat. to the u.k. now where the government has announced an extension of the social and economic restrictions for at least 3 more weeks the foreign secretary dominic rob says now is not the time to give the virus a 2nd chance more than 13000 people have died in the u.k. and there are over 104000 confirmed infections they've barca has more from london
