different conclusion you're making of except why you're willing to go look it up because there are other people that need me people that are sick and dying and not isn't right people shouldn't be dying when there are people who can help them. understand the differences and similarities of cultures across the world no matter what you. use in current affairs that matter to you. because we want to do is to get rid of this thing and if you do it of sunlight is good that's a great thing as frozen pictures of. the us president's task force presents unconfirmed saying that heat and humidity has an impact on the current virus. hello there i'm a start the attack and this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up an economy

ruined by the coronavirus pandemic new figures out of the u.s. are 26000000 people have now lost their jobs. looting and rioting in south africa troops deployed in cape town to enforce a citywide. latin american code 1000 cases begin to soar it could all and peru stop to see the effects of the outbreak. now the u.s. house of representatives has passed a new $484000000000.00 relief bill to help keep small businesses afloat during the pandemic and also to provide funds for hospitals now passed with a big bipartisan support and will now go to president donald trump the final approval and follows a 2 trillion dollars stimulus package that was already passed last month. u.s.

workers are struggling as the outbreak takes a toll on the economy and just 5 weeks all of the jobs created since the end of the 2009 recession have been wiped out more than 26000000 americans are now unemployed it really can't change my life drastically. so my mom put it away. into like my savings account hinske it's going to get drained almost immediately it's a struggle i don't feel like i'm. sometimes just trying. strontium well as his daily briefing on the coronavirus response us president donald trump said the economy would bounce back quickly but insisted that lockdown measures will continue until there's a drop in the number of infections or economy will start to pick up very substantially as soon as the states get open and that's happening as we speak and it's actually very exciting and. people are just it's just thrilled to see it

because our country has to get back to work they want to get back to work you see that whether it's a demonstration or just in talking to people they going to get back to work and they're going to get back to work very fast and that briefing was also mostly dominated by trump and his head of science and technology director of the department of homeland security presenting information about how the virus reacts to heat humidity and lights now the research is preliminary and has not been peer reviewed at a time when the science is far from being conclusive to prove if the virus is actually seasonal. it's just a suggestion from a brilliant lead play a very very smart perhaps brilliant man he's talking about sun he's talking about heat and you see the numbers so that's it that's all i have i'm just here to present talent i'm here to present ideas because we want to ideas to get rid of this thing and if he's good and of sunlight is good that's a great thing as far as i'm concerned. derek comma is

a democratic strategist and he joins us now live from washington d.c. via skype derek president trump has faced some pretty hefty criticism about the way he's been handling this pandemic i know you've been watching this press conference so let me start by asking you how do you think president trump did. listen i think it's pretty clear that the president has lost the trust of many americans new polling has shown that only 23 percent actually have high trust in what he's saying and that's really really troubling considering that right now we need leadership in the white house to help us at this moment i'm sure many of your viewers saw where president obama while not directly calling out donald trump said there's no coherent national crowbars plan in the u.s. and i think that's indicative of what we're seeing out of the white house daily with these briefings if you will darragh one of the big reveals in today's press conference was this report this inconclusive report from the department of homeland

security that says that the virus dies and direct u.v. exposure and could be transmitted less and horse and humid conditions and i see that when this report leaked a few days back the department itself actually cautioned against drawing conclusions and now they're addressing the nation about it from a white house podium i have to admit the timing as president on pushes to open the economy before the some i mean that seems well the convenience. i mean you call it convenient or you call him a bit reckless in terms of how he has handled the situation the message changing every day out of the white house we just found out through the new york times reporting that a. scientists at. the in the f.d.a. who cautioned against the president going out and touting these unproven treatments was essentially pushed aside dr wright who is the director of biomedical advanced

research and development authority he's also deputy assistant secretary again at h.h.s. and that is problematic because we're not getting the type of leadership that we need from this president and fortunately as a result people don't trust him i mean his polling numbers have gone down and right now people are thirsty for real knowledge thirsty for leadership and they're just not getting it round trip and derek today had also got quite combative there with the media and i see you also got several days then at joe biden how is that playing out with the public that the whole political conversation that's going on in an election year. well again if you look at the polling joe biden right now leads donald trump in some polls by as much as 7 points and so it's clear that this president is not thinking about the american people but instead he's thinking about his electoral prospects in november which today don't look good but i would again say that as we've seen this president we recognize what you get when you vote or

don't vote and we're there a lot of americans right now that are probably scratching their heads in terms of why they voted for him and especially in a moment like this that kind of a democratic strategist speaking to us from washington d.c. thank you for joining us and out of their attack thank you for having me. now european union leaders have held their 4th video summit on ways to protect the single market from the effects of the coronavirus pandemic they have agreed on the need to work together on a way out of the crisis but seemed less united on what that should actually look like this as some countries begin to ease restrictions the czech republic for instance has lifted a ban on overseas travel while others are pushing ahead with the search for a vaccine. reports. in this laboratory in oxford a glimmer of hope human trials have now begun here with the vaccine. researchers are confident that it could take just months before they know if it would work in

manufacturing it on a large scale could take much longer but hopefully this will give us some good data and then hopefully in a couple of months or maybe a year or so we would be able to protect more people with us. in germany the 1st day back at school but nothing like these people's could have imagined the partial reopening old people's only carries many restrictions social distancing is tightly in force between their designated desks the usual hive of energy replaced by a more careful serious mood. despite having the 5th largest number of confirmed coronavirus cases in the world germany is slowly relaxing its lockdown but a desire for things to return to normal as well as fears over the economic impact of the pandemic have come with a warning from the chancellor angela merkel is i've been in this not guns often targeted but i will therefore tell you quite frankly that i fully support the

decisions taken by the federal and state governments on wednesday last week but the implementation since then worries me in part it seems to me very brisk some of it seems to me to be quite brisk if not to say to praise. for the european union the full extent of the damage the pandemic has caused the block won't be revealed for months but it is preparing for a slump the like of which has not been seen since world war 2 the european commission has suggested a $325000000000.00 recovery fund for his forthcoming budget as well as borrowing another $350000000000.00 from the capital markets for further spending that revealed to me stitch because even if it's difficult even if of course dollars difference incentive it is when you can go through to the surprise there is a very strong political arena to work together and to succeed to build compromises . and the political strains are already evident wealthier countries such as france

will remain under pressure to provide aid to the blocs less well off members as a test of solidarity that could define the very future of the union itself so new diagonal. also africa's president says he will gradually ease a nationwide lockdown starting early next month several rama process as some parts of the economy will be allowed to reopen and he has called on all south africans to start wearing masks outdoors he says restrictions will be lifted through only to reduce the risk of a spike in infections people there have been under some of the strictest quarantine measures on the continent of africa with an unprecedented deployment of troops. beyond thursday the 30th of april we should begin a gradual and phased recovery of economic activity we were implementing. what we call a risk adjusted strategy through which we take

a deliberate and cautious approach to the easing of current lockdown distinctions from johanna's bag for me to men explains just what these measures will mean for south africans. the president to use the sadrist to outline 5 key phases of a lock down or a reopening of economic activity and an easing of restrictions and moving from level 5 with south africa is now 4 which is you know at the end of that spectrum the the harshest restrictions so far south africa would move to level 4 which the president has said would then still include some pretty tough restrictions for south africans but i think the key difference would be the reopening of economic activity and even then companies would be forced to only allow a 3rd of their workforce at the places of employment at any given time now

borders in south africa will remain closed besides repack creating south africans will be traveling between individual provinces for south africa all gatherings will remain prohibited by the government but sides funerals so there is some change but i think not the kind of relief millions of south africans were hoping for given that's all there is now entering the 5th the week of very strict lockdown well that's happening as the world health organization is warning that the number of malaria deaths in sub-saharan africa could double this year due to the pandemic and the malarial campaigns just distribution of insecticide nets and medicine have all been disrupted by the lockdown measures the w.h.o. is urging governments to keep up the fight against malaria or risk seeing the west death toll in 20 years. well to the situation in the gulf now and another

house of representatives has passed a new $484000000000.00 relief bill to keep small businesses afloat during the coronavirus pandemic and provide funds for hospitals and follows a 2 trillion dollars stimulus package that was passed last month. a record 26400000 americans have lost their jobs since the end of last month and just 5 weeks of the jobs created since the end of the 2009 recession been wiped out. and european union leaders have held their 4th video summit on ways to protect the single market from the effects of the effects of the coronavirus outbreak they're seeking a joint financial fund of up to 2 trillion dollars to recover the economy. well to latin america now and cases and ecuador have almost doubled to $22000.00 after a backlog of tests was analyzed it's now the 2nd west hit nation in the region to brazil the government has now begun storing corpses and refrigeration containers as

walks up ecuador has nearly 600 deaths but the author he says there were likely another 1001000 deaths that haven't been tested. peru's crew of corona virus cases have also said past 20000 double that of last week hospitals are struggling to treat patients bodies have been kept in hospital whole ways and medics say they've been forced to repeatedly reuse mosques the nationwide lockdown there has been extended until may tense and there's been a mass burial for victims of the virus in brazil these images that we're seeing are from the us that's the capital of amazonas state the death rate in the region has more than tripled since the outbreak began the local mayor is warning of a public calamity as already strained hospitals deal with an influx of patients brazil has reported more than 46000 cases and italy $3000.00 deaths and in europe

why some schools in rural areas are reopening after being closed for a month attended still won't be made mandatory the decision was made off a year ago i began seeing a decline in the number of daily infections well let's go live now to our correspondent on home and who's in mexico city john countries across the region a fad very different approaches to dealing with this pandemic is that being reflected in the numbers that we've been seeing. it's a really complicated sort of picture with a lot of different factors you mentioned there brazil and what's happening in now and that it's the worst affected country in latin america i suppose you could say that there was very probably a correlation between the attitude of the country's president. who's basically said well simply percent of us are going to get it so let's just get on with things business as usual if you know elderly if you're not. get out on the streets to work and that country is the worst affected in the region but then you can take that

with a small country in central america that if anything has lakhs of regulations with coronavirus to brazil they really didn't do a lot to sort of to stop the virus and it was always to boots mention it from the from the central government that they've reputed that they've only got 3 days and 11 cases now a lot of people are saying that there's political sorts of things behind that they're not reporting all of the cases that they're having that's another factor here not just because of political reasons but because of low testing the government where we are now as actually said listen we're going to have several times more cases than have been reported that's the model that we that we use and we've got low testing so they're all going to be who cases here in mexico and you heard in ecuador he said that they just don't win their case right just because of the bank so there are a little different factors here in latin america the picture of this might only

emerge which drove them right now in the moment but there is something to sure and that's brazil and ecuador in particular and i'm surprised now which was looted actually praise within and without the country for getting tough at the start of the countries seem to be among the red spots right now. john as you say the west african country in the region is still brazil what's being done now if anything to address the outbreak. it's been a really confused picture as i said because president joe you know has taken a sort of last a fair you could say approach to the viruses let it do what it's going to do you spoke there about the city of mouse in the amazon region they say that their hospitals are completely saturated their intensive care units are completely saturated in that city we see video before of patients their patients besides

life patients in the hospital in men out there there are politicians about to be off for a federal intervention we don't know if that's been brought to justice or a real mess in prison especially because russo the health minister was sacked last week there's problems being reported at the moment now. as to whether the justice minister can stay or not his job surreal sort of country in turmoil there at the moment as coronavirus goes through john heilemann there for us and mexico city with an update on what's happening in latin america thank you john well returning to the united states now in the state of georgia some people then preparing to attend to wegg but the moves put the state's governor at odds with president he says that georgia's decision to begin exiting the down was in violation of guidelines released by the white house and reports. across the state of georgia non-essential businesses have remained closed for a pandemic that's already claimed close to $900.00 lives there are some signs the

outbreak is flattening but with only a few days of data health experts are warning it may be too soon federal guidelines recommend a 14 day sustained were duction encoded 19 cases something georgia hasn't shown but the republican governor is pushing for a partial reopening given the friday verbal data enhanced testing and approval of our health care professionals. we will allow jim fitness centers bowling alleys body art studios barbers cosmetologists hair designers nail care artist s. decisions their respective schools and massage therapist to reopen their doors this friday april the 24th business owners have been losing income for weeks but many a confused by conflicting information and health risks despite being told to engage

in minimum basic operations the test part community market is not open and that's where i make most my money and they have to stay close and they should stay close because if you lose anybody's life over money that's wrong but you know the southern states small but vocal protests of growing as unemployment lines get longer these people gathered outside the capitol building in alabama to make their voices hood would stay at home or does remain in place across the southern states here in miami beaches and businesses remain closed not likely to change for weeks to come govern the camp of georgia is a close ally of president trumps as is the state's governor run the census both of being praised for their reaction to the coronavirus and even as president tom encourages protest as he thinks georgia is acting too soon the president's praised to govern a campus a very capable man now he's publicly disagreeing with his plans that they can wait a little bit lonely just a little bit not that much because safety has to predominate we have to have the.

so. i told the governor very simply that i disagree with this issue but he has to do what he thinks is right despite the hardships faced by business owners in georgia and other states many remain cautious about exposing themselves and others to the coronavirus many will ignore the governor's advice others may feel forced to take risks as the economy continues to falter and gallacher al-jazeera police in ivory coast's commercial capital have launched a campaign to convince people there to wear face masks the government has made last compulsory to stop the spread of the coronavirus but police in abidjan say many people don't have access to televisions to get news about the outbreak hundreds of officers on visiting crowded streets and markets where there's little social distancing as you can see telling people to use face masks ivory coast's has nearly 1000 confirmed cases of the virus. now the world health organization has
