we'll tell you why it may not get there. and tinkering with toys iran's mr fix it and how he's bringing more than just told to life. so then the figures are getting more mind boggling by the day on how the coronavirus pandemic is affecting the world's biggest economy and with yet another stimulus bill set to be approved by the u.s. president the government will have spent nearly 3 trillion dollars as it deals with the economic fallout the latest relief package was agreed to in congress during 2 sessions with members standing apart and wearing masks it's a 4th aid package so far and will support small businesses pandemic has made more than 26000000 americans unemployed in just 5 weeks trump though says the economy will bounce back quickly despite the number of cases and deaths continuing to rise and some states like georgia they're preparing to reopen their economies later on

friday. 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 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 all right let's hear from roselyn jordan who has more on the millions of jobs lost. 4.4000000 u.s. workers filed for unemployment last week pushing the country's unofficial jobless rate to nearly 13 percent it's more evidence the cold that 1000 pandemic has damaged the u.s. economy if i do long and job the long hours and with my hat in hand is very well you know. the gentleman from asking congress is voting this week to spend another half a trillion dollars to help small businesses and hospitals but when it comes to

helping state government reeling from the loss of business and personal tax revenues the republican leader of the u.s. senate says that's not going to happen yeah i'm a i would certainly be in favor of allowing that. route it saves some so there's no good reason for vailable my guess is their 1st choice would be for the federal government to borrow money for generations to send it down to them now so they don't have to do that that they are going to be in much more money if the governor of new york state who is a democrat called mitch mcconnell's comments outrageous yes airlines are important yes small business is important so of police and fire and health care workers who are the front line workers and when you don't fund the state then the state can't fund those services fictional sense to me what's more new york's economy is the 3rd

largest in the u.s. and in the top 15 worldwide which means its survival as a financial and cultural center is key and u.s. president donald trump's decision to suspend immigration for 60 days on economic grounds could hurt the u.s. has ties with other countries indian officials are closely studying the order since hundreds of thousands of their citizens many who work for u.s. firms could be affected all that matters though to connie boyd in north carolina is her own economic future who say we're going to go back really not enough is going to be the issue next you know name is specified in that job you just don't know. the only certainty right now the economic pain is worsening rosalyn jordan al-jazeera. to indonesia now where the government has announced it will temporarily ban all and see trouble until june to tackle the covert 19 outbreak.

ramadan starts. it's the holiest month in the calendar when muslims stop eating and drinking from sunrise to sunset. the fasting allows worshippers to devote themselves to their fate and remember the sufferings of the poor. but during the unprecedented coronavirus emergency muslims are abandoning many of providence traditions and rituals. they won't be able to invite their loved ones the neighbors or the 4 to join the. evening fast breaking meal known as if. as 1900 spreads restrictions are being forced governments have closed borders imposed curfew years lockdowns and encouraged social distancing to contain the contagion islams holiest site in mecca is usually teeming with

worshippers from all over the world during ramadan it's closed this year as part of the subject government's campaign to curb the virus spread getting people everywhere to observe social distancing in ramadan won't be easy the highlight of ramadan is the night of destiny where muslims believe their holy book the koran was 1st revealed to the prophet mohammad and where the gates of heaven are open muslims spend the night in contempt lation and prayers in mosques a ritual they are being asked to perform at home this time islam's most sacred month meant to encourage giulietti praying together and breaking their fast together may end up being a month of relative solitude. where there are fears infractions in
