majerus there has been a number of reforms put in place since the program was filmed rewind continues with the heart of darkness we were following orders we sing young people to fight these wars put them in the most complex situations you can imagine and have them make life and death decisions rewind on al-jazeera. the. president of the trump announces he will suspend immigration saying he has to protect americans from coronavirus and to save jobs. from a canal santa maria says the world news from al-jazeera markets in asia and europe and fallen off the u.s. all prices turned negative for the 1st time in history. also new data shows the number of coronavirus deaths in england and wales could be 41 percent higher than

the government's been reporting. harder for you cheers citizens is to draw on to to . do a good week a moment volunteers helping to boost iran's response to the pandemic. does not donald trump has declared he will suspend immigration into the united states through an executive order that he tweeted this the u.s. president saying it is a response to the coronavirus pandemic he refers to it 19 as the invisible enemy trump added that he has to protect american jobs it was an announcement address with condemnation from some in the democratic party have accused trump of distracting people from what they describe as his faulty response to the outbreak more from chicago now which $100.00. the president issued this tweet in the dark of night and he seemed to do that for good reason he could have made his announcement

at his daily news conference where he talks about the coronavirus and all of the actions the administration is taking but by issuing this mysterious tweet late on a monday night he gets the morning news cycles where the newspapers 'd in the morning shows talking about what he's had to say and then in the afternoon he gets another round where he explains what his policy is and then it gets to gestate and analyzed again and the president wants to show that he's doing something the centers for disease control just a month ago in a little known action. issued an order that allowed the united states to stop people at the border who didn't have the proper papers and because of the pandemic that order allows them to send people back similarily no court hearing no chance for asylum they're sent back automatically and now the president is expanding that to include any immigration from anywhere. let's hear from thomas gift who

specializes in u.s. politics he's a lecturer at university college london he believes this is simply a political move by donald trump. i think this is more about optics than it is about economics there's certainly a conceptual difference here between shutting down workers from extreme i'll travel to many countries of course i'm done to isolate contain the spread of 19 actually newton substantive reforms to immigration policy trump does insist that suspending immigration is meant to protect jobs in the u.s. it's unemployment has escalated economists can debate that but i think largely what trump is trying to do is explode a political opportunity here of course and structure immigration policy has been one of the president's marquee issues since he entered the white house as reflected by well his national emergency that he declared the us mexico border wall that were to temporarily ban immigration from muslim majority countries and so on and so i think that this effort very much placed into that narrative and he thinks that it's a political winner among his conservative base there is

a lot of uncertainty about what he actually meant by his substance of its tweet just because you know oftentimes these tend to be so cryptic so we may see either a lot of this. officials within his administration or he may decide to just press ahead with this as he intended and so at this point there's just a lot of uncertainty and a lot already that hopefully will be getting more in the coming days. well the international benchmark for oil brant crude has fallen to just under $20.00 a barrel its lowest point in 18 years and says after the u.s. oil prices crash below 0 and $1.00 is in negative territory the futures figure has since come back but only to about $2.00 a barrel and a big fall in global energy demand because of the pandemic unlocked on measures it means the world now has more crude oil than it can even store and again it has our report. at the beginning of 2020 a barrel of u.s.

crude oil cost around $60.00 then came the coronavirus pandemic forcing states toward a lockdown emptying streets closing businesses and shuttering factories across the nation demand dried up and the price fell to $18.00 on monday things took a catastrophic turn for the 1st time in history u.s. oil went into negative territory a doomsday scenario for the entire industry president trump called the drop interesting despite the crushing it in the stock market we're filling up our national petroleum reserves through dziedzic you know the strategic reserves and we're looking to put as much as $75000000.00 barrels into the reserves themselves that would top it out that would be the 1st time in a long time it's been tapped out would get it for the right price capacity though both online and see in the united states is filling up since march stockpiles in

some locations have risen by 50 percent in some places the price of fuel is now at a 10 year low demand is down there's no certainty when states will reopen and all this comes as a severe blow to president donald trump he's going to great lengths to protect the oil sector working with both russia and opec to reduce production now the entire global industry is another president in crisis the historic deal to slash production by mill. ends of barrels a day involved saudi arabia russia and other oil producing nations but experts say another global effort is needed we're probably down a 1000000 from our normal 10000000 barrels down to about 9 that probably needs to come down some more but all the other oil producing countries need to do the same until the the economy recovers the plunging price is a driven by trading deadlines oil is traded on its future price contracts are due to expire on tuesday why is it virtually nonexistent some traders are now paying to

get rid of oil instead of buying it the president says the industry will bounce back they got caught and there are a lot of people that are not too happy because they got caught so you take a look at it you'll see it's more of a financial thing than an oil situation but because you take i believe in a month or so go a little bit it's a $25.00 and $28.00 or so it's largely a financial squeeze if there is a silver lining those on the front lines of the coronavirus will pay less to fuel because a recovery in demand for oil is now dependent on a crisis that in many parts of the u.s. is far from over and we gallacher all jazeera miami florida. economics as out of balance in london says this glass in oil supply is a global problem that needs a coordinated multinational response. there's more than $35000000.00 barrels

in circulation which out which which are not useful to anybody at this present time and so we need to figure out how to get rid of those $35000000.00 bows that would me russia united states and saudi arabia shutting down production but that's not practical because if you shut down practical you can damage wells so it needs a collective help from from everyone around the world the other thing that the united states can do is rid off the strategic reserve to allow corporations to actually store away their oil in those copra in those in the strategic reserve and that's something that we're going to consider and the u.s. is also considering haying oil companies to keep oil in in the oil well so that they don't pump it out that's just some of the ideas that are being floated at this present moment where european markets have opened lower after the u.s. oil price crash there is the stocks $600.00 which is the pan-european index it fell

about one percent at the open london's foot c. $1.00 it fell also frankfurt and paris they both should 2 percent that followed the worst day for about a month in asian stocks tokyo's nikkei was almost 2 percent lower than was at the close of hong kong sydney in seoul dropped about one percent and they were losses too in shanghai and singapore now the coronavirus death toll in england and wales is 41 percent higher than government figures indicate that is according to the u.k.'s office for national statistics the oas said it recorded just over 13000 deaths by airport 10th but the government's toll for those who died in hospital until then was around 9000 paul brennan in london for us can you explain the discrepancy here paul. the discrepancy is essentially because the they're not comparing quite like for like but the question

is which is the most accurate which is that which is giving the best picture of the reality here in england and wales and you have to say that it was probably the masses and therefore the accusation against the government figures is they're underestimating the scale of the infection in england wales the statistics are as follows what the ins found was that total deaths up to april the 10th. 13121 of them involving 19 but for the same period the government statistics for deaths include from kovac 19 on the government statistics only those people have been tested in hospital 9200 $88.00 that's the figure that the government ministers give on daily basis on a daily basis at that downing street briefing and it's the one that the media has been writing upon so to have the ins now coming out and saying that in truth what we've found including if you include deaths in the community deaths in care homes basically looking at death certificates to get

a more accurate picture of what's the cause of death the government appears to be underestimated by 41 percent and that will obviously not go down well paul i'm just thinking about all the criticism there has been up until this point of the u.k. government sunday newspapers had a big feature on it apparently sleepwalking into this disaster this would just be another layer on top of that. well yes because testing has been one of the biggest criticisms of the government they started off with a policy of testing wherever covert 1000 had been discovered then halfway through march they pivoted away from that and decided that the virus was so written and bedded in the population that testing really wouldn't do it was necessary now though when other countries are contemplating relaxing the restrictions that they've imposed on their populations here in the u.k. the allegation is well hold on how can you possibly even think about it here by the way the government isn't thinking about it here yet but how can you even think

about it if you don't actually know where the virus is and how big this what the scale of the problem is the government has promised that 100000 tests a week will be will be done by the end of this month and they're nowhere near it's it's less than $50000.00 at the moment they're not even close to it so all of these things are amounting up as to why their government is not doing what perhaps people think they think should be doing and getting a get a much better grip on the scale of the pandemic here in england and wales thank you paul brennan in london still ahead on al-jazeera more on the coronavirus pandemic and its effect with look at how millions more could go hungry as a result of the virus.

are or. deal with al jazeera these are the top stories president donald trump says he will sign an executive order to temporarily suspend immigration to the u.s. because of the coronavirus pandemic you also tweeted that he must protect american jobs. international benchmark for oil brant crude house $400.00 just under $20.00 a barrel the lowest in 18 years that was after u.s. oil prices crashed below 0 and into negative territory. and the coronavirus death toll in england and wales could be up to 41 percent higher than previously reported the u.k.'s states to statistics office released new data that included deaths in old age homes those haven't been included in the government.

let's look at some other world news and a service has been held in sri lanka to remember those killed in a series of attacks on easter sunday last year the local muslim community has faced a backlash after a small islamic group claimed responsibility for that attack when often and as reports from colombo where she met a father who lost his children some on city man and his wife were struggling to keep on the 1st anniversary of the easter bunny in 1000 euros son and 22 year old daughter were intern and these church praying for good results at upcoming public exams when a suicide bomber struck. it was the 1st of 6 locations to be hit within an hour 279 people were killed and more than $500.00 injured. at the. from one hospital board to the next looking for my children but i couldn't find the mini we're finally young dr told me however reluctant that i should look

in the mortuary i couldn't seem to friend who was with me he came back sobbing that my son was there when i recovered consciousness we got another call that my daughter had been found in another mortuary a little known locally slam explains who called the national. claimed responsibility for the attacks. investigations revealed some members of the group paid state informants that authorities were repeatedly warned about their activities and that some politicians had even intervened to release some of those arrested earlier but most troubling that intelligence warnings of impending attacks had be known the families of the victims want accountability. i don't think there is any cause in the world that can give me justice because that means giving me my children back that won't ever happen but those who neglected their responsibilities must be punished. the archbishop of colombo cardinal malcolm

ranjit also criticised the negligence of the then government and the cover up that followed addressing the tensions that came after the bombings he praised his congregation for not letting emotion drive their actions our challenge will be to work amicably with all our fellow citizens and to ensure a true acceptance and integration that's an approach to muslim human rights activist endorses she says the end of muslim sentiment which followed the bombings shook the community when this happened all of a sudden we have become terrorist actually international terrorist connected to why it's so we were really worried about existence in the country because the way that the entire muslim community was blamed for what few people did was highly problematic through say sri lankan politicians have been engaged in hate mongering

feeling tensions and causing division by portraying the muslim community as the villain in recent years the past year hasn't ease the pain of losing loved ones anthony's or in the east a bombing most families and all those who warned of the threat of an attack say what's hardest to cope with is that they think the bombings could have been prevented if only the government had cared to do so and then there's al-jazeera colomba. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu and his main rival benny gantz have agreed to form an emergency coalition government to see through the crisis their power sharing deals due to last for 3 years who will be prime minister for the 1st afghan's the 2nd he agreement follows 12 months of political paralysis and 3 inconclusive general elections. remember also netanyahu is about to stand trial for bribery or false it with more from west or isn't. people in this country very

much sick inside of this ongoing grinding crisis 3 inconclusive elections it was 7 weeks ago this very evening that nelson you know was celebrating what he said was a sweet the sweetest political victory of his career only to find that the numbers didn't quite tally up in his favor i mean how do all these weeks where everything of course as changed as far as what he's got out of this deal though he's got the most important thing which is his continued presence in the office of prime minister the most powerful place he could imagine to be and to try to fight off this corruption case which is due this trial due to start in may he also has veto power over the appointments the senior points to judicial appointments through the judicial committee that's something that could be important in that fight as well and despite the fact that this is being sold as

a coronavirus exclusively coronavirus government for the 1st 6 months at least in which no other legislation is supposed to be passed he's also secured an agreement which would allow him to push through from july the 1st with agreements and coordination from the americans and accession of large swathes of the occupied west bank the secretary general of the palace to palestine liberation organization sagarika ghose so that any government a coalition that is based on this move towards an accession is one which will only bring greater threat greater instability to the security of the middle east. the government in charge is opening an inquiry into the suspicious deaths of dozens of boko haram prisoners while in this cells $44.00 were jailed after a gun battle which killed $98.00 chaldean army soldiers in february autopsies since revealed lung burns from a lethal substance some prisoners suffocated others had heart attacks. we did
