millions living working and commuting in such tight invasions but one expert says it's about much more than just density it's about how this was put together and how it's run. this is al jazeera. alarms the whole robin you're watching the al-jazeera news our life my headquarters here in doha coming up in the next 60 minutes. the u.s. president accused of inciting rebellion as he supports calls to liberate some states from a coronavirus lockdown. flattening the curb the indian state of carola says it's containing the pandemic by enforcing tough preventative measures. cases double in

sudan as a lockdown lose in the capital khartoum. and the suit to surprise ministers and the army on to the streets a day after the courts ruled against his decision to suspend parliament. and ward cleaver haftar is under pressure in libya government troops advance on his forces. could have become today and welcome to the news more than half of humanity 4500000000 people are under some form of restrictions as the world fights to slow down the coronavirus pandemic and the debate for many governments is how tough the rules should be and how long should they last now it's causing debate in the u.s. which has the highest number infections and deaths with 22000000 people unemployed . unemployed president trumps putting pressure on some democratic governors to and

we quote liberate their states from lockdown and he's been accused of inciting dangerous acts while iran was already an economic trouble when the outbreak hit businesses in the capital tehran and now reopening despite warnings of a 2nd wave of infections the country has reported almost 5000 deaths but there is a success story in a country with 1300000000 people the indian state of carolers contain the virus confirming just 3 deaths it used aggressive testing contact tracing and longer periods of quarantine but we begin in the u.s. and those accusations that the president and we quote is for mentoring domestic rebellion washington state's democratic governor says trump is spreading lies in signaling his support for people to protest against locked down rules or hundreds of joined rallies across the country demanding an end to the shutdown this is how trump has used twitter for example to urge supporters to liberate 3 states

a day after he said that it's up to governors to decide when and how to ease those restrictions well eric is a political analyst in washington d.c. he says trump is trying to pitch an economic comeback ahead of the election. president's primary calling card since he got elected was his ability to handle the economy the president has always gotten very high marks on his handling of the economy and that has always been something that the president has of very focused on very heavily and something that he's held very dear but now that the united states appears to be heading into a recession just as the president is ramping up for the all important reelection what you're seeing now is the president very protective and very sensitive to that issue so the president even if you go back to just 2 weeks ago the president wanted to see the economy open during easter weekend but of course that did not happen so

the president is keen to try to get the economy going get the economy open estimates possible but right now what standing in the way of the president doing that are these governors who are now implementing shutdown orders and if you look at places like new york california and some of these other states these are very large economies in the case of california california seeing as one of the largest economies in the world so the president is pushing back on this even at the same time he's implementing these uniform guidelines for states to follow so it's just only creating more confusion but also the president recognizes the vulnerabilities that he has as it relates to the economy well some health experts have oil in the terrans capital may be reopened very soon but the government says it's time to shift the focus back to the economy from tyrone same to strongly the easing of restrictions. after nearly 2 months of being closed because of the corona virus businesses in the iranian capital are waking up from their hibernation for main

street shops like this in open areas the city's prime real estate it is business as usual but for covered markets where there are bottlenecks where dense crowds can gather the government says it's still too dangerous to open up any of the shops in those spaces but the traders we've spoken to in teheran is back alley bazaars they've told us that not only have they not made any money for months but it will take many more months to get back on their feet they say they too need to pay their rent and meet their expenses let alone try to turn a profit and that they hope that the government lifts the remaining control measures entirely in the coming weeks now president hassan rouhani has championed the idea of what he calls smart distancing things start going back to normal but people simultaneously maintain strict rules of hygiene but iran's deputy health minister who contracted cope with 1000 himself in recent days he said that iran is the country's achilles heel

a weak point when it comes to fighting this virus and government figures do suggest that the infection and death rates are going down and everyone here also hopes that it stays that way but the government has now effectively shifted the onus put the onus on its people and after weeks of being indoors there is this isolation fatigue there is word and so people here are ready to go back to work it's more crowded in downtown to run than it has been in weeks but there are also skeptical voices in the government that say the rush to reopen could backfire and that people in the country should be prepared for the possibility of a 2nd wave of the virus. the indian state of carolina which has confirmed just 3 deaths and about 400 cases has been taking a very different approach and it's likely a brand new polls it seems that stops the infection from spreading. carolina has its picturesque back quotients and pristine. beaches but now there are no tourists in these houseboats instead they are being converted into isolation wards

for coronavirus patients we have had extensive discussions with or almost as all seasons all. it needs. some of india's 1st confirmed cases of the virus were here in kerala as some of the millions who work overseas returned home at one point carol i had the most cases in india now that's changed which the site's leaders put down to intense efforts to break the chain of transmission distracted pupils test tested and also. trace all the die for the last fortnight test ordered by was traced. but. that tracing is happening and call centers like this using technology such as geotagging to monitor classed as of

cases we had to call 410000 people or nearly 10000 people every day to know whether they're developing any symptoms or not. the communist run state says it's also been stopping the spread of the disease by ensuring workers who've lost their jobs still have a roof over their heads nobody can be also there for the workers. and if you find any. suckers. and also you. read. every word. restrictive measures have seen 1300000000 indians and locked down causing a humanitarian crisis for the poor and daily wage earners many have left their home villages and states to find work in the cities some such as these in the capital new delhi say they haven't eaten for

a week before police help them at the money that i used to work in weddings and parties but now everything stopped. back in kerala the annual monsoon rains a jew in a few weeks and the fevers that often come with them could make fighting the coronavirus more complicated alexia brian al jazeera as a 2 african our lockdowns been announced in the sudanese capital khartoum it's set to be in place for the next 3 weeks the decision was made has the health ministry announced a sharp increase in people who have contract a covert 19 it reported 30 new cases in the last day bringing of the total number of infected to 66 with 10 people having died of course but have a morgan joins me now from the capital khartoum i mean how is this lockdown going to work. well let's look at the wording itself so it's called a lockdown and that has been imposed by the government because of the rise in the

number of infections but what we have seen on the 1st day which is today is that from 6 to one people are allowed to go out to buy their essential needs so we have seen cars on the streets we've seen people moving on as if there is no lock down but they cannot cross from one part of the capital to another how to whom as a state is divided into her tomb center hard to north and turns it into a man so people cannot move between those 3 sections of the capital but within those sections itself they can move so we've seen people moving up until 1 pm and then 1 pm local time and then we can see basically empty streets except for those who have received government permits to move around during the lockdown so mostly empty streets at the moment but people are still criticizing the fact that people can be moved but the government has said that they had to do that because a lot of people rely on daily income and they they live below the poverty line over

40000000 population live below the poverty line so they are forced to do not impose a total lockdown this by the government calling it a total lockdown the world health organization and aid agencies are always very concerned about africa as a continent and how quickly the virus could spread concern that the health systems were weaker and weren't geared up to deal with such a pandemic how is in terms of being able to get their message across about their capability to the public people hopefully you can hear me how clearly is the sudanese government been able to get its message across to its own people regarding the pandemic are they geared up. no it does seem we've lost morgan there we will try to get back to her as soon as we can during the program well military has now returned to their

barracks after the prime minister ordered them onto the streets to in his words restore peace and order well it comes a day after the country's constitutional court ruled against thomas the decision to suspend parliament the 8 year old leader is under increasing pressure over allegations of links to the murder of his a strange one. up along is a freelance journalist joins me now via skype from lady brand on the border of the su to south africa thanks very much for joining us on the program what seems to have instigated this action to place the military sort of on and off the streets during the last 24 hours. absolutely thank you very much for the. it's been a lot of things stick to the chests really about it's been going on well i'm just touched with that we're going to start announced a provocation to parliament now to regain sion means end of term for whatever bills

will get in parliament and one of them was that bill that would suggest that he does not get the powers to go to his majesty to call for a snap elections or to terminate the parliament but was one of the bills and but then he used the 90 in reason to terminate the parliament of course his junior seau went to the courts of law to challenge it and it was only yesterday that he lost that means he is now ordered to reinstate the parliament to its original state before it closed it garbage there's been a series of this thing he tried to fire the police then the police boss are we had actually started the investigations which saw him go into court also to defend that case is still coming on now the movements of the police of the soldiers town indeed

the citizens will come up to unusual movements he made the statement in television this morning that there will be that movement that and people should not be worried but what he meant what he said in that statement is that there has been a few people who are abusing their freedom of speech who are now using it in the course of through law to try and undermine their stuff and to invest i believe of that can you touched on the funk that the prime minister was you might say at odds with the chief of police because obviously he's been in a lot of hot water primarily with the investigation into the murder of his former wife and he's been trying to avoid those charges as much as he possibly can but it seems that even his own political party a turning against him with the rumor that they have perhaps even found a successor to replace him if they can get rid of him. it's actually effect the

caucus of the ruling party a.b.c. did actually seat and came up with the name this is in line with what he had actually said because he bred to purchase to give an extra instructed them to now find a successor for him i spoke with that dip your t. of to a.b.c. who are to be condemned the ex of what say it is mine in that rule of law and he said tomorrow they will actually have a city that will actually pay their way forward so he has been at odds with the police boss and he had actually. at tried to fire him but he went to court and the courts have always been one such x. stated it was also the case on friday love is what happened and the brand is that seems like he wanted him out at all costs osha see what happens in the coming days the moment rattling about the best thanks for joining us from lady brand thank you

very much like forces from libya's even recognize government have killed 8 fighters loyal to warlord khalifa haftar they've also captured 4 have to supporters one advancing on his largest stronghold in the west of the country now the city of the whole night is the target of government troops after they regain control of southern coastal cities earlier this week it's been a year since have to launch his offensive to capture the capital tripoli one more the other one had as the latest from tripoli. the decision made by the government to move on the city of horner. has been taken after they took control of the west of libya last week and they say that if the take control of. it means that half the forces lose the whole west of libya eyewitnesses in the vicinity of the city of the owner say that the areas there have been shaken by heavy explosions we know that the government forces have been exchanging heavy fire with have those

forces in the vicinity of the hole now since early morning and now as a kind of the activity action of retaliation have to this forces have started shelling get it is the initial areas in tripoli in so good and also were slim in the city center random rockets have been dozens of random rockets have been launched by have those forces landing in populated areas and also in the vicinity of 80 get airport. neighborhood government forces say that they have captured a number of have to his forces and they have destroyed a number of military vehicles in terms of this fresh offensive to take control of the city of lahore now. he is the founder and director of the southern institute of the 1st public policy think tank in libya joins me live via skype from london good to have you back on the program a lot to unpick here such as start with the sort of strategic advances that we're

hearing about important gains really for the g m a g n a but is have to retreat despite his own forces hitting tripoli on saturday. well there's a very different structure going to those who should really focus on what's happened here in contrast of the last year this is the most significant military development in libya in the last year how there is in danger of losing his last ground supply line that feeds his conflict in tripoli that i don't know which is around 60 kilometers to tripoli is the last possible node in a long supply line so if he was to lose that are going to have the lines between then and tripoli cuts he could no longer continue his ground offensive and that's one of the major reasons why his forces are not only in retreat but also using industry minute violence i mean there has been reports now of up to 130 missile strikes in the last 24 hours in some tripoli that are really just targeting civilian homes residential homes at times where those people have been told to self

isolate is their home but also hospitals that are treating cribbage 19 patients so there is no other objective other than in juicing the stress and pain on tripoli's residents and it's you know it's almost a spoiler is moot in retaliation for his losses the last in western libya for the last week so there really isn't retreat and this is a real danger and indeed i mean only you might say an ultimate victory and have to defeat death or or capture will potentially secure libya's future peace so even if the g.n.a.t. do move. in that direction to what is their course of action after that will they chase have to if he va treats somewhere else where can he go. well i mean it's really unlikely that i mean a prompter cannot be continued his ground offensive the 1st thing that he will do in this is what he did last year on june 30th when he lost the 1st stage of his or the 1st flight that was offensive he launched an operation called end of treachery which was introducing f. 16 and chinese drones from the u.a.e.

and from egypt to continue the offensive where he lacks capacity not his ground forces are being affected very little of the libyan the fighting today in tripoli much of them are russian also the me as well and. so they're just fighting for treasure and don't really have skin in the game and don't have hearts to continue to fight if they feel that they're going to lose so most of those will likely dissolve i imagine if that to continue the offensive it will most likely be from the air and that in itself can only bring kind of pressure and strain and loss of life for residents in tripoli so it kind of forces at least the end of the ground offensive but the evidence that the set up for grabs in terms of how to exist it is almost irrelevant at this point it's very there's very little in terms of what he's offering today a 100 to continue the offensive that almost makes the u.a.e. and turkey who are backing the generally much more relevant and sounds of their roles and the gym they conducted where the military have to conduct a day an aerial exercise up the coast of libya yesterday so they could be there could be the chance of this escalates and moves into eastern libya after

strongholds is a very very a massive massive danger here and some of that escalation but it could be could be the end of an offensive in tripoli and in terms of the humanitarian suffering over the last year in the heart of the last year rather of 150000 people that have been displaced 1000 killed 3000000 people that have been without will to hurt for the last 8 days in the middle of the why spend demick in human history that's a good day for the millions of kind just show him that it's because of the civilian problems and the civilian suffering has been ongoing and that's been very well documented what one does then how can as you touched upon the allies of supported have to saudi arabia the united arab emirates russia even france politically where they stand will they come in to support that troops on the ground all that you know proxies who have been supporting how is it sort of game over. i think they will i mean most likely what will end up emerging is some form. of an emergency kind of kneejerk cease fire and that's the track that frees up those losses when he isn't

making gains as he was in april for them as the new york times report in the last week he was given the green light boy by the american administration last year it brought a lot of last year of a missile to make it quick but you're wrong he's in the very same suburbs that he was and in fact he's losing ground in the suburbs and retreating so there may be may be an attempt to freeze that complete but it's it's really it's a clue it's a choice there's very little i think can be done and given given the pandemic and given the attention at the time then because it's only that reason that they're able to make these kind of gains and push out their back or to see what happens that in the coming hours and escalante thank you for joining us from london thank you. please of arrested 15 of the best known pro to moccasin politicians and activists in hong kong they're accused of illegally organizing the largest anti-government protests ever seen there all the former colonial power britain says it's concerned about china's continuing erosion of hong kong's freedoms and stay

here kampala reports the list ever rested reads like the who's who upon const democratic movement among them are present and former legislative councillors prominent activist a man known as the father of democracy in hong kong we are here to 81 year old martin lee is one of the architects of the basic law the city's many constitution which essentially said karts the territories autonomy he had stepped away from the political spotlight in recent years but was vocal about his support for the protests last year. that people who really have no regrets for what i have done i feel proud to walk the path of democracy these outstanding young protesters. it's the 2nd time this year businessman and media tycoon jimmy lie has been arrested. they have been arrested on suspicion of organizing and taking part in illegal assembly the government has released a statement saying the arrests were made based on evidence and were in accordance

to the law seems that government is coming out remind them that you have since you have to see the end of. the rest and continue and you've been in that time of crisis during all these i have to make. on this of the movement the arrests come up to a week of turmoil in the legislative council members tussled with the opposition democrats for control of the weekly meeting agenda in an unusual move china's representative office in hong kong waded in to denounce the pro-democracy group the baiting liaison office monitors developments in hong kong and reports back to the chinese government but for the 1st time it's stated it has the right to supervise local affairs and is exempt from across in the constitution which restricts interference from any department directly under beijing's control. that's

provoking we need fierce amongst democracy supporters already alarmed at china's tightening grip on hong kong since last june more than $7000.00 people have been arrested for their involvement in the protests many are charged with biting which carries a maximum prison sentence of 10 years. this year there has been a law in the protests mostly due to the current virus pandemic the government has banned all gatherings of more than 4 people to enforce social distancing but protesters and democracy activists say government leaders are making the most of a distracted public along with trying to wipe out the virus wiping out any dissent is the aim to me they say they've got pollen our desire on hong kong. is a pro-democracy politician in hong kong she says china's government doesn't consider itself bound by hong kong's laws anymore all these years since 1907 they say live

a solemn office as set up by beijing and home call is considered to be under the basic law a well meaning constitution now somehow it transcends this basic law it's. the basic law it was a genius in effect telling him calm people that it's authority it's about the low in hong kong and that this is fairly worrying because we're supposed to have one country 2 systems now it's one country at most one plane one systems the people angry that's for sure but then they also understand that beijing is probably loose in patients with hong kong people that we're just rather like a disobedient teenagers with too much testosterone not something that they change just concrete hong-kong properly as a book

a simple right to read us and understand i would just ration for democracy but they refuse to take any notice of that. well still ahead here on the al-jazeera news are scientists in california trying to repurpose drugs to fight the pandemic. in emotional mom was. a terrorist who endorsed but still exercising we report on the methods to keep fit join the lockdown. and boxing champion t. joshua says he's ready to find one of his biggest rivals behind closed doors in a city town's coming up in sports if you stay with us here elisa. hello by no means is the middle east in the arabian peninsula cross of the moment

state of carola is being hailed for its fight against the spread of the virus and the let's say the southern region has managed to flatten the curve with aggressive testing contact tracing as well as long periods of parenting. and soldiers in the suit to have returned to their barracks after the prime minister ordered them onto the streets to in his words restore peace and order thomas the money is under pressure to resign despite denying allegations of involvement in the murder of his estranged wife. now the coronavirus pandemic has shed light on underlying issues in the us with many nursing homes being accused of putting profit before people she have pretense he reports. officially the 1st deaths from covert 19 in the u.s. were to residents of this washington state residential care facility in late february the age of their patients and the poor response of authorities in information and equipment reasons why managers that claim they didn't alert authorities about the responded to illness that had been sweeping through the site

for weeks but regulators disagree and have imposed a fine of over $600000.00 for negligence both have a point but weeks later the coronavirus is still spreading to one residential care facility after another across the country 17 bodies found inside a makeshift morgue at this facility in new jersey this week after an anonymous tip off a quarter of the residents have died at this facility in virginia questions are being raised as to whether it's the system of for profit residential care that's the problem not that we know the full extent of deaths in nursing homes 6000 estimated but the federal government doesn't keep track and even anonymous statistics about deaths and testings a big held back due to what authorities and facilities say upriver see concerns i was wondering if i could speak to one of the nurses and that johnson had been trying to keep tabs on her mother despite we'll be able to visit her at her nursing home a collar a day and i kept getting the same thing she's fine she's doing great but when she

was able to travel to the home it soon became clear that wasn't true i see her lying in bed with the oxygen around the facility said it wasn't openly gay to tell a doubt about her mother's positive kovac 900 test because she was in her prime rigotti and bernie stafford turned his brother fred as a resident of the canterbury rehab center in virginia he's tested positive for the virus doesn't have a roommate in the room it is also a test. and there's no barrier between the 2 of them which means that they are not being truly client i asked. twice that at least. 1000 patients develop. escalated health conditions and he calls it emergency room what is the plan and he said we don't have a brain. so. 70 percent of nursing homes in the u.s. are run for profit it's an industry that's projected to be worth $240000000000.00 by 2025 mainly in taxpayer spending study after study has shown that the owners of

private facilities often make billions of dollars in profits while claiming budget shortfalls for care and in recent years the private equity industry whose main concern is short term profit has moved resolutely into the sector buying up for some of these like the one where his brother is now. a new study has found as a result the push for profits over care has intensified patient volume and revenue have increased but starting salaries have decreased as a federal ratings based on care for patients is that in. front of our reserves. if there's an emergency situation and very good you might. be less. if you were nurses the private residential care industry however says it's not to blame for the thousands dead at its facilities and is now using its money influence

and the pandemic to lobby for a long held goal immunity from prosecution for negligence she had returned to the al-jazeera well in the u.k. care home workers and n.h.s. staff say that they're being told to reuse or not wear personal protective equipment or supplies are set to run out the government says a large consignment of pete pete years it's known is due to arrive the country tomorrow our correspondent paul brennan joins us now from london of course the issue of the front line medical staff in hospitals are dead and in care homes seems to be the sort of pivotal to the government's message that everything is all will be ok paul but dissent is growing isnt it. yeah it's been building for a few days now and towards the tail end of this past week it's really built up to a crescendo it's no longer just a health care issue it's become a real political hot potato when the government here in the u.k. is getting considerable amounts of flack for it i mean they're kind of

a confluence of several different things we had the chairman that the head of the public health care providers chris haps he's the chairman of the n.h.s. providers who look up to represent hospitals basically said that gowns they had the full gowns that had worn in intensive care would be exhausted supplies could be exhausted within 24 to 48 hours through a college of nursing that a survey of $14000.00 staff and they found that nurses have been felt under pressure to work without wearing full protective equipment 51 percent of the nurses in that survey said they'd been asked to reuse items which were supposed to be disposable was supposed to be single use and on friday just yesterday in the face of this crescendo of criticism the public health england the governing body if you like came out and said actually we're changing our guidelines yes you can reuse single use items it's caused a real stink and it has been mentioned in the u.k.

government news conference which is currently still taking place with jepson the local government minister saying we've got to do more on p.p.a. yes there's a 400000 tons sorry 400000 gallons he said arriving from turkey tomorrow sunday but it was pointed out to him by one of the reporters questioning him that's a 3 day supply that's not going to go very far well of course another thing that's really been getting everybody's back up really in the u.k. is getting accurate figures on those that have suddenly died because of the pandemic that's being controversial especially when care home figures were not supplied and the government was forced to act how's the public being implicated on that particular issue. no it hasn't and the root cause of all of this is the government's policy regarding testing initially when the virus 1st reached the u.k. the policy was to test then mid march when the numbers started to grow the government pivoted away from that position and decided that general testing wasn't

required and to this day well actually until about 2 days ago only hospital patients who were showing coronavirus symptoms were being tested for corona virus in the statistics the government has been producing have been solely to do with hospital patients and it's been pointed out that the vulnerable residents of care homes up and down the u.k. are dying in the thousands and the latest estimate from care england is that around 7 and a half 1000 people have died that's despite the fact that according to official figures the number of deaths is down in the low hundreds reasons why ours is as i say testing it hasn't been happening the government says it will happen from from yesterday actually and so that those figures should become more and more accurate but the fact that there hasn't been testing now means there is a large number of uncounted coronavirus deaths and infections out there that the government just has not a handle on for the moment paul brennan his london thank you but our

scientists worldwide are searching for a vaccine but developing one within a year would be regarded as unprecedented so what if existing drugs could be repurposed for covert 19 treatment and of course be ready within weeks brunell's has the story. scientists at the quantitative bio sciences institute at the university of california san francisco have been working nonstop since january their goal identifying existing medications that make human cells resistant to attack by the corona virus we're trying to do is to repurpose those drugs and compounds to help fight this corner viral infection it's called host directed therapy the host in this case is us 1st scientists had to extensively map the viruses genetic code in the parts of human cells that it latches onto we identified 332 different human proteins that were talking to the approximately 30 different.

proteins so these are proteins that we think the buyers needs in order to highjack ourselves so from this analysis we identified 69 different drugs and compounds 27 of which are f.d.a. approved. and we need to test those to see what effects they have on infection unfortunately labs in san francisco didn't have any virus cultures to run tests on that's when the global cooperation kicked in we broke down silos across different parts of the world you know working with paris and new york and then all the people in england and seattle and san diego and in china and we've been shipping them. are drugs and compounds and they've been cast in these dr kroger and is hopeful an effective drug will be identified within weeks and since the drugs are already approved they wouldn't have to undergo a lengthy testing process instead they could be available for patients right away

the example of urgent cross border multidisciplinary scientific collaboration is a model for fighting future outbreaks dr grogan says when the dust settles on company 18 i would love to see us put in an infrastructure where we can move quickly across the board you know breaking down the silos so that we're be in a better position to tackle call the 22 or call the 24 hour another virus there are millions of trillions of viruses on earth and far fewer scientists given those odds all experts must work together for the sake of humanity rob reynolds al-jazeera los angeles while staying in the u.s. university research has in california say the results of an antibody study suggest that corona virus in the u.s. state could be up to $85.00 times higher than fort more than $3000.00 californians
