a 2nd wave of coded 19 but his health experts say infections will come back. after 9 years of a war in syria the 1st trial linked to alleged state sponsored torture has begun in germany plus. field u.n. technology that's making it difficult for nations to connect when they need to be communicating more than ever. and in school the n.f.l. draft gets ready to go virtual the game's best young players be selected remotely with millions of fans watching. let's get going we begin this news hour in germany where the chancellor angela merkel has issued a call for greater unity in the fight against with 19 during a speech to the parliament mrs merkel emphasized both the need for international cooperation and also within the european union saying success could only come if

the book could fight the virus together with that in mind she called for a bigger budget and she said germany was ready to pay quote significantly more to help with the economic. recovery that comes as a youth leaders prepare to meet later on thursday to discuss their economic response to the outbreak whilst in germany the rate of new infections has risen for a day mrs merkel want parliament still nowhere near the end of the pandemic newman to the government nobody likes to hear it but it's the truth we're not living in the final phase of the pandemic but still at the beginning we will have to live with the virus for a long time. well it's not just germany warning of a long road ahead the u.k.'s chief medical officer says social distancing measures could be in place until the end of the year that's 8 months away let's bring in correspondent rory challenge joining us here on the news from london so rory

christmas time that must have come as a bit of a shock to the system for a lot of people getting that news. yeah well certainly the the the lockdown measures are being implemented in 3 weeks chunks and every 3 weeks they're going to be reviewed and we have just had one of those reviews extending it for another 3 weeks. the the the assumption is i think among people that normal life is not going to resume for quite some time to come whether or not people are thinking out in sounds of christmas. it's a big for the population but the scientific advice is always trying to give. response and lead people i guess towards the right thing to do i'm standing at the moment outside victoria station it's one of london's main transport hubs of places like this that you see people walking around wearing these face perhaps more

lightweight ones as well government scientists meeting today to try and reach a decision on whether or not to make the wearing of these sorts of things mandatory in public and the expectation is that they're probably going to follow along. guidelines which is that there isn't really enough evidence to make that case that people should all these sorts of things in public. that they can protect you if you are a medic and if you already have the disease they can stop you giving it to other people but for most normal healthy people it's not ready and essential bits of carrots that's what the w.h.o. says that's. what u.k. scientists are going to revise later but other countries are doing their own thing and we know that germany is moving towards making that the wearing of face mask magistri at least on public transport and angela merkel the german chancellor today

kind of half signaling to the e.u. in brussels and strasburg look you've got a meeting today you've got to kind of up your game and we've got to come together which is not quite the message that the e.u. has been sending us because the e.u. itself has been pretty quiet over the past 2 months. yelling out. trying to stiffen the spine of her country and like i guess chris which he was doing in the u.k. warn everyone that this is not going away fast this is something that germany is going to live with the u.k. is going to live with the world is going to live with for some time to come and she was acknowledging. that lockdown measures are basically an infringement of democratic rights she was saying that you know these acts essential rights have been stripped away from people and that is only bearable if you are leveling with your population if you're all doing it together you're all doing it

for the right reasons and she warns that basically constitutionally democratically this is a difficult balance she put it as if we are thinning we are skating on the thinnest of ice thanks very much a top u.s. health official has stood by his predictions that a 2nd wave of the corona virus is likely to hit and could be made worse by the regular flu season come the autumn in the states now that clashed with president donald trump's assertion at the same media briefing that the virus quotes may not come back at all mike hanna reports from washington. manderson a very good job for us dr robert redfield was totally misquoted in the media on his statement about the fall season and the. virus totally misquoted the president demanded the director of the centers for disease control walk back his warning

about a 2nd wave of coronavirus uncomfortably robert redford he'll did not do so he disputing the headline about the initial interview but confirming he had been accurately quoted i didn't say that this was going to be worse i said it was going to be more complicate our more difficult and potentially complicated because we'll have flu in corona virus circulating at the same time the president sought support from another of his medical experts dr deborah books and then you're you're pretty sure this is years ago this will not come we don't know it's going to start it's a very small confined here so we put it well 8 i think the great thing is we will be able to find it earlier this time and i think that's what we're talking about we'll find those cases earlier so what dr redfield said we would be able to stay in containment phase. president continued to push back against potential future threat and in answer to

a reporter's question argued the virus may not come back at all it is estimated might not come back at all jeff it may not come back at all he should get about a worst case scenario where you have a big flu and you have some corona and if it does come back it's not going to come back and i've spoken to 10 different people not going to be like it was apparently one of these 10 people the president spoke to was not the country's foremost medical expert dr anthony thought she was adamant there would be a 2nd wave of the virus later this year there will be coronavirus in the ford if we do which we won't but let's take an imaginary period ok forget about it we're not going to do anything about it it will take off that's what viruses do but that's not what's going to happen we're going to respond to it to not allow it to do that early on a wednesday president planted a tree marking earth day but given the disagreements that played out in the evening

briefing his medical experts could well fear that he's also planting the seeds of misinformation mike hanna al-jazeera washington well during the same news conference the u.s. president mr trump was asked about iran's launch of its 1st military satellite that we were reporting on yesterday the satellite was launched from iran's mcconnachie desert on weapons to the revolutionary guard says it allows them to quote monitor the world from space the u.s. has in the past said that the space program as a cover for missile development which iran in leaders deny white house correspondent kimberly hulk it was at the briefing. the u.s. president issuing a stern warning to iran if in any way u.s. naval ships are harassed in the persian gulf by iranian fast boats in the words of the u.s. president he will make sure they are shot out of the water if they get close to our both the u.s. president saying that the u.s. navy is 100 percent prepared for any sort of engagement i also had the opportunity

in the white house briefing to ask the u.s. president for his reaction to the launch of that military satellite by the i.r.g.c. mr. blodgett military satellite firebomb want to get a response that you see this is a batsman missile program well they say no. ok they say also it was for television does anybody really believe that they would have better television in iran so they say they were watching the iran very closely very closely we know more about iran than they do right now we know more than they do so we know all about it we watched it we knew it was going up we followed it very closely they say it was for television now the president would not answer the question about whether he was concerned the united states had projected any vulnerability in terms of military readiness the fact that there's been an outbreak of coronavirus on the aircraft

carrier the u.s.s. roosevelt or even that the commander in chief donald trump has been consumed with dealing with coronavirus inside the united states again no answer from the u.s. president on that question however it is important to note that on wednesday the u.s. president did contact the emir of qatar the readout from both sides says that well they did not mention iran specifically they do say that they discussed issues important to the region. staying in washington mr trump has signed the executive order suspending immigration for 60 days he says it will safeguard american jobs during the pandemic the outbreak and resulting lockdowns of lead to a surge an unemployment across the country however critics say the order will only affect a small minority of people arriving into the u.s. . last most of the come on the current of us for you here on the news on the meantime we'll wrap up the other top story to syrian suspected of being former

intelligence officers are going on trial in germany today the men are accused of committing crimes against humanity during the early days of the revolution in syria it's the 1st court case linked to alleged state sponsored torture by president bashar al assad's government says it was correspondent dominic kane joining us live here from berlin this out dominic one of the central allegations about. he took it upon mine but the case against these individuals is that in different capacities at the start of the syrian civil war they were part of the intelligence and security apparatus of president bashar assad's government and in those capacities they either carried out or were complicit in the carrying out of multiple murders of torture there's one allegation of rape and other serious violent attacks against the syrian people as i say at the start of the syrian civil

war what's interesting about this is these individuals came to germany at different times and presented themselves to the as refugees and yet starting today for the course of the next few months they're going to hear claims that they are anything but that they are guilty as i say of the crimes and the offenses which i just outlined outlined of course the presumption of innocence applies here they deny the charges there are other interesting elements about this the german government is choosing to to implement the jurisdiction it claims that it has under universal general jurisdiction for serious crimes such as genocide and other serious crimes and that is what's being applied here and many international human rights organizations and other campaign organizations say that what is happening today and will be unfolding over the next few months represents a watershed the 1st chance for the victims of the sort solve offenses that are alleged to have taken place here to see justice being allowed to progress in their

case of course we must remember as i say that there is a presumption of innocence that the defendants deny the charges and as i say this case is shared jewel to last well into the month of august this year dominic thanks very much. now palestinian leaders have not to quote stand handcuffed if israel formally moves to take their land in response to remarks from the u.s. secretary of state mike pompei o who said an exception of illegal settlements in the occupied west bank is a decision for the israeli government charlotte bellus as more. from washington d.c. u.s. secretary of state's might pump a are added fuel to a fire how far will the way we're glad that there's a now fully formed government in israel as for the adaptation the west bank. there's rallies were ultimately make those decisions as that's an israeli decision . we will work closely with them to share with them our views of this in

a lot of analysts say that beijing is indeed using this time of the krona virus pandemic while the world has its focus elsewhere to really shore up its presence in these disputed waters and that may be the case just last week that we had this aircraft carrier group just leave but also beijing and now nst to the new administration of districts the shisha district in the power cell and spratly islands respectively and these waters are claimed by at least 5 different countries including malaysia and the philippines and as you mentioned water from the u.s. and australia are also in the waters at the moment and it's really been a month of escalating tensions there following what washington has described as bullying tactics or destabilizing behavior from beijing a number of countries have made complaints for example of vietnam says the chinese vessel rammed a vietnamese of fishing boat malaysia says that

a chinese vessel tailed a malaysian oil liner oil ship and the philippine government made a protest after they said china pointed some radar guns at a filipino vessel not this latest group the latest group of chinese aircraft carriers including china's 1st homegrown vessel. was said to have entered those waters 10 days ago and this certainly is not this kind of military exercise which is designed to flex its muscles this has happened almost every year since every year since 2017 and indeed a chinese military experts say that the world should expect more exercises like this to happen in the future understood tryna get to talk to you thank you. china says australia's call for an independent investigation into the coronavirus pandemic is political maneuvering australia's foreign minister has demanded transparency from beijing into the origins and the spread of covert 19 the chinese

authorities insist they have been open about their handling of the outbreak australia's prime minister says his country is now on the path back to normal life they were just 11 new cases reported as of thursday and one death scott morrison says the government's focus now is the economy we are on the road back and that is demonstrated by the measures that we've already taken and we're on the y. back to a covered saif economy as well which is what we have to achieve we are building the protections for this kind of insight economy in the areas that i've mentioned importantly in the areas of violence should so i sent him tasty in the area of industrializing contect pricing capabilities and our immediate response capability to outbreaks wherever they might present themselves we have moved on elective surgery. moving on schools and i welcome that very much in the schools

a little bit of that as much as we can so it's ok we have enough time to get prepared for the 4 days go you and i am glad that this time they have announced earlier. to avoid a repeat of the chaos seen during the 1st few markets and grocery stores and will not shut down in the 1st 2 days bakeries will be open on the weekend and certain drop sectors are exempted from the curfew the government has avoided a full locked on to keep the economy ticking over so all the goods whatever is necessary for health should be followed if they say don't go well we should do that . the government has imposed measures encouraging self isolation shutting down cafes and restrictions on indoor and outdoor activities a cure for you has been imposed on seniors of all 65 and people below 20 years old

to try to halt the spread of the disease. well mostly doctors are on the other we are doing well so far we're taking measures without interrupting daily life of course there are short comings but we've done well most of the common 1980 s. is in turkey or in a stumble the country's economic capital 60000000 people live in the city that's 20 percent of the country's population. without a full lockdown almost 4000000 people use public transport every day some say this is a high risk. the number of people on the streets of istanbul has fallen over the last few weeks as a result of measures to purge the wires but the famous is the last resident tax in istanbul stores jan has never been so quiet the police will pass through here over the next 4 days and will take legal action against those who violate the restrictions. office will say turkey has almost reached

a plateau in the coroner virus outbreak and life will return to run its of no more the t. after a month turkish people will need to be patient for a while yet seen after so long as you are a stumble. there are warnings in the u.k. that more people are being pushed into poverty by the pandemic charities there are frantically trying to provide for the growing number of adults and their children who need assistance lawrence lee reports from london. in an affluent part of one of the world's richest city is a sense of how even before this new world the wealth will share so badly. all of this has been donated by people whose children no longer need it for those so poor they can't afford it themselves before the virus expects them to new mothers from the poorest demographic would come here to be told that things would be ok but now they can't and the worry is that if they're at home they're stranded families are already struggling with

a broken system before this all started and what we're seeing now is families struggling to get out of the stuff that they need struggling with incomes falling when they don't have a safety they don't have a safety net they don't have savings but also just the the social and emotional impact of being at home and often with small children often quite cramped spaces the human cost of all those closed shops is just becoming understood many businesses can and have now applied for the government to pay their stuff but just as happened in spain in italy a few weeks ago well over a 1000000 people have suddenly now applied for government benefits in one of the world's most expensive cities you could be from any social demographic with a baby due about now and be in a load of trouble it's already the case in the earlier 3rd of children in the u.k. live in some form of poverty and the expectation is that perhaps a 5th of all adults in this country will be forced to claim benefits through losing their jobs because of the virus that in turn means that even in traditionally

middle class areas like this people are facing the prospects of bringing their children up on benefits the used to receive support from the little village charity when she was expecting now she. to get by on benefits she lives in a single room in a house with her daughter who's now 2 and a half the virus means they're stuck in here together for most of the day it's tough it's expensive and it's endless you know obvious things go up not just you know read the farm bill cost of deliveries for packages that you need because it's not always essential to major need of the things to keep your kids busy as well the u.k. government program known as universal credit was already controversial as the money takes weeks to arrive and forces people to choose between things like rent and food some big players in the charity world are now demanding the authorities go further to protect those most at risk if got lots of extra costs with food with extra

energy particularly with into that time to be able to support their children's learning at home and they just say that bit of extra support to be able to cover those costs and to be able to make ends meet. the little village charity now describes itself as virtual changing its model to deliver goods to the most desperate rather than hosting them but they have made the having to push hard to meet the fast growing demands the realisation is dawning that just as there was born out of the banking collapse more than a decade ago grew up in austerity so those born now are going to be raised by parents with no idea when their work might come back and potentially with years of hardships to follow largely al-jazeera in london. time for you weather news jenny jenny tornado season in certain of the u.s. states it is i'm going to good news i'm afraid peace right now over 5000000 people under some form of tornado watch or warning so let me show you where this is a satellite this is

have warned of a resurgence jury in the coming winter flu season. divisions are deepening in the u.s. about how and when the economy should be reopened crowds of mostly conservative demonstrators have demanded an immediate end to the locked measures in more than a dozen states many states governed by donald trump's republican party have announced plans to reopen soon georgia is moving the fastest allowing most businesses to operate again by monday even president trump who's pushed for restrictions to be lifted appears concerned about that i told the governor of georgia brian camp that i disagree strongly with his decision to open certain facilities which are in violation of the phase one guidelines for. the incredible people of georgia at the same time he must do what he thinks is right i want him to do what he thinks is right but i disagree with him on what he's doing

but i want to let the governors of i see something totally agree ges totally out of line i'll do but i think spas and beauty salons and tattoo parlors and barbershops in phase one going to face 2 very soon is just too soon i think is too soon well mr trump told state governors they can decide on their own how and when they reopen even though just days ago he said the authority lies with him alone. the democratic majority state of california is among those outlining how it plans to get its 40000000 people back to work rob runnels reports now from los angeles. new findings indicate corona virus was circulating in california weeks earlier than previously thought autopsies on 2 people who died in northern california on february 6th and february 17th show they were victims of covert 19

previously the earliest known fatality was on february 29th in washington state. the findings may mean that dozens of times more people nationwide have been exposed and have died than has been officially reported california was the 1st to issue a statewide stay at home order on wednesday governor gavin newsome outlined his approach to gradually and cautiously lifting restrictions there is no light switch and there is no date in terms of our capacity to provide the kind of clarity that i know so many of you demand and deserve newsome said as a 1st step scheduled surgeries for non covert 19 conditions may resume tumors heart valves the need for people to get the kind of care that they deserve it's if it's delayed it becomes ultimately denied it gets delayed becomes

acute newsome said further relaxing of restrictions would depend on data based on increased testing and contact tracing we want to focus on science and health as a predicate for all our decision making california's cautious and gradual approach contrasts sharply with decisions by republican governors in southern states like georgia and florida to reopen beaches gyms beauty salons and tattoo parlors among other businesses. public health officials have strongly warned against a premature reopening of businesses and public gatherings thing that would almost certainly lead to a new surge in covert 19 infections and deaths rob reynolds al jazeera los angeles . there's been a mass burial for victims of the virus in brazil these images are from the capital of states the death rate in the region as more than tripled since the outbreak

began a local mayor is warning of a public calamity already strained hospitals deal with an influx of khirbet 19 patients brazil has reported more than 46000 cases and nearly 3000. china is acquiring stockpiles of crude oil as global prices plunged because of the break imports rose by 4.5 percent in march compared to this time last year and overall in the 1st quarter of this year imports were up by 5 percent chinese importers reportedly sent $84.00 tankers to saudi arabia last month each to carry $2000000.00 barrels of crude china as the world's biggest energy consumer. there's mounting pressure in the u.s. to stop saudi crude oil imports in an effort to save the american oil industry $40000000.00 barrels of saudi oil is already on its way to the united states shipping dates issues 1000 supertankers a sailing towards terminals off the gulf of mexico however president trump is facing pressure to stop all crude imports from the kingdom there are reports the

saudis are exploring options to redirect the cargoes elsewhere possibly to europe or to asia let's talk now to an issue he's director of energy at police she advises an energy and mining research advisory company he joins us from london and his capacity or is there more political rhetoric in the oil market as of now than there is liquidity. good morning well there's been plenty of political rhetoric over the course that this year clearly president trump has had a very large budget influence on the market making it moving it both ways over the the course of this year and i think i think with the situation that the u.s. is in this situation a lot of the u.s. oil producers are in. prison trump he feels it his duty to try and help them out. but i think there's you have to differentiate between what is reality and what he

says that what can actually be done and the physical impacts on the market so i think there there is the potential for the president trying to put saddam some exports some some important restrictions in terms of the 1st saudi oil by i think the the actually impact going forward from that would be pretty small ok he's clearly displaying his protectionist credentials here but arguably that's what his job is he's supposed to do that at a time like this even when the the cost per barrel of domestically produced oil falls off a cliff and goes into negative territory so equally comics like to expect the saudis to indulge in some domestic protectionism and then just basically reroute supertankers to sell the stuff elsewhere. you know so i think you've got to look.

look at some of the numbers here to see what it what it means in in reality so you know clear clearly the saudis if you go back a few months few months ago there opec last deal broke down and what you're seeing now is the delayed effects of that opec last deal breaking down and so if you look at some data are you all x. which is should provide to. provide that answer well analytics data if you look at the saudi exports to the us alone for the last 6 months of last year and early this year it was about 400000 barrels a day and that's in the context of the u.s. importing over the course of the last year close to 7000000 barrels a day so this is the saudi exports incident into the u.s. on actually that large what was changed is after that opec plus deal broke

down saudi does it to turn on the taps and you're seeing the impact of that come through in april when according to that data rico stew over $1000000.00 barrels a day of saudi ex also heading in into the u.s. ok so it's not just to answer a journalist because a trying to get one final question in briefly please when you talk about turning on the turps turning on the turps or turning off the turps the u.s. up to 48 hours ago was riding the wave with the price of domestically produced oil was doing its own thing that's why it went into negative territory as a reaction to that but the so does either produce more or stop producing slightly less so they can manipulate the process which is good for their bottom line profit . yes i know the saudis are already committed to producing less they the the the impact you're seeing in april is that the saudis are actually producing

2000000 more exports in 2000000 barrels a day more than they were exporting at the beginning of this year and as you go into may they are going to be reducing their production pretty dramatically so them taking. those exports they're going into the u.s. elsewhere and should be pretty easy given the scale of the overall reduction that's coming from my own words ok we have to leave it there thank you very much. thank you. argentina has failed to make a $503000000.00 payment on its foreign that was due on weapons day its creditors rejected a government proposal to restructure the loans argentina is grappling with another year of recession made worse by the coronavirus to risible as more from when as iras. for the past several weeks the military has become a crucial element in some of argentina's poorest areas. this is happening in. in greater when a site is where people line up in the middle of the streets for food after

amanda says that argentina right now cannot pay any for in debt because it needs to tend to this country's economic troubles that have worsened because of the spread of 19 and that's why it has asked creditors a 3 year grace period to get country's economy back on track from now on this country has one month to pay off its debt or it will default once again. mostly been emotional we know we have a problem to solve we know the world economy has shifted just as we are all united in facing the pandemic we are united in solving the problem of the debt and even in these adverse circumstances we continue to propose a solution you know. rolling stain was part of the negotiations after the default in 2001 he says another one would complicate argentina's recovery once the crisis of call the 1900 so over. any recovery with

racing to develop a virus vaccine 80 or so groups are conducting studies now and some are in clinical trials already including on humans the 1st of those started in the u.s. city of seattle in march other countries are playing catch up the u.k. is beginning trials on thursday and germany recently approved tests by 2 companies even with this breakneck speed most scientists say a vaccine probably won't be available until the middle of next year trials need to show it is safe creates immunity and can be mass produced developing a vaccine. goes through periods of time that you cannot compress 1st your good to what we call phase one that is seeing whether the vaccine is well tolerated and is safe in when injected into administered in do healthy people that will take about 3 to 4 months and then you have to go into efficacy trials that they see

whether that vaccine is indeed protective and that will take about 6 to 8 months so that's why i wouldn't expect any sort of positive signal about one candidate vaccine being a big issue is before indeed the spring of $21.00 but that's not the end you then need to produce that vaccine in large amounts if a candidate vaccines proved to be safe and that's an issue because it could bring more delay the alternative is to start producing the vaccine even before there is a positive signal about efficacy which would mean taking huge financial risks. as if global diplomacy wasn't complicated enough already covered 19 has only added to the difficulties leaders prime ministers presidents ambassadors trying to meet remotely but connections are being lost diplomatic editor james bays explains why.

we're now living in a virtual world and the un security council the body in charge of maintaining international peace and security is not sitting in its historic chamber in new york instead ambassadors are operating remotely but technically it's been far from smooth air me yes we can perhaps not unpredictably some of forgetting to mute their microphones we're not speaking. of unity. we need all mikes close please sometimes meetings have had to be interrupted because of technical issues that. mr yeah mr cea has me we have to. have a request was for us as technical problems and we need you out your very well and then resumed i want your prognosis for technical difficulties at that date today's

conversation it's especially important as in the state but that's friend gave we are the biggest problems have come in connecting with the u.s. ambassador kelly craft while other ambassadors have stayed in new york she jurong the pandemic has retreated to her home in kentucky and the connection has been difficult. in the end her deputy based in new york had to read out her speech on her behalf since the sensor ambassador was disconnected as a noun but unable to reconnect to the system i will deliver the remarks of the united states from this point how happy is the un with the technology that it's providing to the security council if tecno if un security council members can't hear each other how are they supposed to speak to the world we are all trying our best to accommodate. the security council and all member states. and i we

will continue to work through whatever technical. hitches there may. be or in a were then we would have to adjourn. thank you. while all over the world meetings even school lessons are taking place on platforms like zoom the un is using an old conferencing system it's based in brindisi and it's early rather than here in new york the security council represents the entire international community but for now its technology does not seem fit for purpose james bays. of the united nations and is fit for purpose with the when we come back including the n.f.l. draft maybe but still this year but it stumped prospect looks like the really thing details on the other side of this question.

so school is under bank you so much pizza while the n.f.l. draft is getting ready to go virtual the game's best young players will be selected remotely with millions of fans watching on quarterback joe baro is widely expected to be the top pick the 23 year old led louisiana state university to a national cycle in 29 say the hugely popular events when it was due to side place in last vegas before the pandemic in savain instead plays and same officials will all be at their homes the draft will see more than 250 the best college players selected by the n.f.l.

32 teams they'll submit their picks soon and a fellow officials are the online or by phone the pics will be announced by n.f.l. commissioner roger goodell heels he's on call and he's basements the players will receive video kits to record their reactions the cincinnati bengals he finished bottom of the standings last season will have the 1st pick well i think it's exciting you believe that you're getting that. it's all been generous so many times and i want to process a paragraph here and oliver here it's a good position. because nothing can alter who you want to be or you are going you're going to the premier league chief executive richard masters says said rigorous checks will be carried out before the saudi led efforts upon you can see a nice it is given the green lights on wednesday castle's been sports channel said the deal should be blocked it claims the saudi government allows league games to be broadcast on an illegal channel and human rights group is also asking the premier

league to stop the takeover we are clear they are using us all as a way to improve their reputation to grow different narrative about what saudi arabia is all about move away from elaine's human rights violations the about all the reflected glory that bring now professor simon chadwick is an expert in sports business he says the deal is still likely to go through if the prospective owners pass the league's so-called fits and proper person c'est. obviously be in sport is a major partner for the premier league in a number of different territories at the same time obviously the the takeover of newcastle united seems to be becoming increasingly tangible and real. but the important thing in all of this is the fit and proper person test which is essentially what is now taking place within the premier league doesn't assess the day the or the legality or otherwise of prospective buyers essentially the fit and

proper person test looks at the finances of the individuals all of the groups looking to take over clubs and doesn't make judgments beyond that so the premier league is in a really interesting position in the sense that if it acquires its rules as they normally applied it takes no account of being and what's happening there but if it chooses to do that then it will either need to change some of its rules and it may potentially begin to have ramifications in terms of the overall governance of the organization or the man in charge of african football faces a decisive few weeks in his bid to sustain charge of football on the consonance ahmed ahmed is hoping to be reelected as cast president next year in one of its a common $27.00 seeing but he's currently the subject of an ethics investigation by what was world governing body faith from last year fifa temporarily took charge of african football to speed up reforms the continent now faces the challenge of coronavirus all domestic leagues in africa have been suspended in march qualifiers for next year's after cup of nations in cameroon the park's pond combinations is

crucial to the financial health of african football the $2900.00 solomonson egypt generated revenue of more than $80000000.00 and african countries may soon face a fight for the services of their players with many based in europe likely to be allowed to prioritise club games over international fixtures when football does return now african football rights are my home azhar he says it's vital for ahmed ahmed in next year's cup of nations does take place. this regime at cafe under the leadership of the president i met on that has been really under fire for the last few years during the 2900 cup of nations he actually works that a coup of sorts where his own executive committee had actually just pushed through a good of no confidence which would effectively have rendered him powerless until these 2001 actually managing really this banaba coronavirus i know it's a it's a test and really a stress for all but off the ball in governing bodies around the world but for

katniss going to be really really crucial these next 8 to 9 months as the football counters be constricted and he forgot lines have been sent out we see that actually if european football leagues. return resume and go on into the summer months and throw international breaks people will not force the players to leave their clubs and come play with their countries and so that could have you know huge effects for a nation like object for example in 200-1008 was reported that cap had made more than $80000000.00. with that with the $21000.00 after cup of nations so if they do not pay the 2021 tournament in thailand and it starts to rack up some debts and they don't have the you know. that tournament to sort of fill the coffers that's another that's another reason why this kaffir regime could be really under so much pressure. ok that is how sports is looking for now and the thanks very much santa maria is doing his lunches over there again i'll have another news for you from 13

high school students and head to head comparison versus conventional cigarette which one do you think has helped my opinion i think they're both dangerous take note on al-jazeera. a warning from germany's leader that her country is only at the start of the pandemic as new infections rise for a 3rd day. but once again from doha everyone come on santa maria this is the world news from al-jazeera. and it might not come back at all jeff and may not come back at all. again to downplay the threat of a 2nd wave of code 19 but his health experts say infections will come by.
