a virus to town and not to die in jail. and how the pandemic is forcing muslims around the want to change the way they celebrate the holy month of ramadan. now it's being hailed as a landmark collaboration well the leaders have pledged to speed up development of a coronavirus vaccine and ensure that everyone will have access to it as possible while health organization initiative but the united states with the death toll now over 50000 says it will not take part in it for magic editor james bays reports. it's just the place you would have expected in previous times to have seen u.s. leadership in a global crisis and world leaders coming together with

a response not the idea of this event to coordinate the search for a vaccine testing and treatments for covert 19 and to make sure all the widely available the world needs distorts and it needs them fast. past experiences has stored those that even when tools are available they had been not been equally available to all we cannot allow that to happen and what feedback we may deem require is the most massive public us efforts in history data must be shared production capacity prepared resources mobilized communities in gauged and politics separate sites. i know we can do is we can put people 1st and leaders spoke from all regions of the world technically bringing them all together was a bit of

a challenge you know excellence you have can you hear me now yes yes we can hear you but germany one of the 4 members of the g. 7 a group of countries that were represented. we're now going to continue to mobilize all countries of the g. 7 end the g. 20 for them to back this initiative i hope that we will be able to reconcile the sinister of china and the us because the fight against covert 19 as a common good for humanity this shouldn't be any divisions between countries we need to join forces to win this battle the fact that the world health organization was the host of the event explains why the u.s. didn't take part president trump cut all new funding to the w.h.o. because he claimed the global health body had not been tough enough on china the w.h.o. failed in this basic duty and must be held accountable is a spokes person for the u.s. mission to the u.n. in geneva where the w.h.o.

is based told al jazeera they'll be no u.s. official participation we were informed of this event last week and we look forward to learning more about this initiative as soon as possible following this event the next phase will be led by the european union in 10 days time they'll be trying to raise 8000000000 dollars to make sure that vaccines testing and treatment are available to everyone james pays out 0 at the united nations. well u.s. president on trump says he was being sarcastic when he raised the possibility of injecting disinfectant into patients to fight coronavirus to signing the latest stimulus bill into law trump tried to explain the comments he made on testing the true widespread criticism from doctors and ex-pats the president suggested scientists explore whether inserting light or disinfectant into people with private 19 might be an effective treatment. now the state of new york is the west hit area

in the u.s. and governor andrew cuomo has warned that reopening the economy to rally in any american state will be dangerous if you say well we're done here's the in-house anymore let's just reopen just. start business tomorrow let's go what happens that's what happens all the progress we made is gone and all experts or virtually all experts will say not only does the virus spread increase but it increases to a higher point than we had increased the 1st time. well unlike new york some states in the south and midwest are easing restrictions and georgia businesses such as gyms and has salons have reopened and that's despite warnings from the

medical community and you got to get reports. that the 313 store in marietta the doors are open for the 1st time in weeks following controversial guidance from the state's governor non-essential businesses have been given the green light to get back to some kind of normal despite the continued threat of the coronavirus the owners here are taking employees back on a voluntary basis and making sure health checks are in place these are the stickers that were using us on 3rd street basically 3rd for shipping because i know letting all of our service workers know that they're having no problem and i'm sure any type of the. ha ha ha that is certain restrictions have been lifted on businesses like barbers gyms and tattoo parlors despite data from health experts advising the state not to reopen until at least the end of june restaurants are being given the go ahead to open on monday but many business owners remain skeptical even with gloves this this this virus stays on the gloves if it's really not every class you

think of you in feel safe no one feels that it's yet a good thing to do and not happy about brian camp president donald trump a staunch supporter of georgia's republican governor brian kemp disagrees with the move despite the loss of income many business owners say they're not a quick to open their doors again our number one. thought during this whole process is health and safety it's not money because money wall ventura show up i'm a firm believer in that but if see if something happens to someone we can replace people in neighboring south carolina 2 of the close contact businesses a cautiously reopening with the republican governors blessing here in florida precious also. mounting the state to is run by a republican governor and some within his party want to see businesses open again all than a 1000000 people a filed for unemployment here and business leaders are becoming increasingly vocal

local officials want to see parks and public spaces open by as early as next week the governor says any easing and restrictions should be done carefully and methodically a small but growing protest movement is adding to pressure an already beleaguered southern states but as yet the science based data suggest patience is key and a gallica al-jazeera. eric figo thing as an epidemiologist and washington d.c. and he says even the lockdown in some states will likely cause problems for other. $50000.00 deaths is 1st of all extremely worrisome you know trumper previously said recently doubt oh you're as we'll talk about $60000.00 deaths and at the rate there were going up and basically to $3000.00 a day i think that number will definitely hit and exceed it very quickly in terms of states i think obviously there are pockets of the u.s. in which it is increasing as well as slowing down new york fortunately slowing down

but one out of every 1000 year presidents has actually died from this and that's incredibly scary the problem with lockdowns in the us is we don't have borders no us states have actual borders that we can actually worse so even if you have lock downs in some states and other states the poorest of the borders means that there's a high risk that even of one state close down by the next state is open that all the states would continue to show the epidemic rising and so that is why georgiou being open is very nerve racking for many other states. well argentinian prisoners are staging a protest after a prison officer tested positive for craven 19 inmates of the jail and what is there is demanding transfers over worries they're vulnerable to infection at one point they threw shop objects from the roof our correspondent riza boat was outside that prison and she says inmates with underlying health conditions have asked to

serve house arrest in order to avoid contracting the virus. while we're here right outside the day well before isn't this is the only prison in the city of when a site is on for over 9 hours prisoners have been i don't know if you can see the right on top on the rooftops of this prison this is a prison for around 1600 prisoners very currently has over 2000 so that's why prisoners are complaining about the lack of sanitation about overcrowding among other things they're very very warm they've been screaming enough in telling us that they're worried because one guard tested positive and 6 others have been isolated and those who have worked in the system such as are smart they are beaten a.t.b. and are asking you know to be sent to serve house arrest what's going on here we've been seeing some of the prisoners story rocks and other sharp items and the police firing back with the rubber bullets not

a long time ago it was easy to hear some explosions all morning the latest think we've heard so far is that some negotiations have been ongoing between the national governments and some leaders inside the prison however most of the people we have heard from that are right on the who are still are saying that they have not heard anything just yet. now brazil's government has been plunged into disarray after the justice minister quit accusing president diable scenario of meddling in law enforcement said you're more a step down after balls than are fired at the federal police chief he says the president wanted to choose a replacement he'd be willing to give him inside information the public prosecutor has. the supreme court to investigate the allegations boston area says the claims on pace this fall of a city defeat isn't enough police a few that there was talk about my interference with the federal police if i can change a minister in white can't i according to the law change of director of the federal police i don't need to ask permission from anybody or anyone in the pyramid of the

executive power but alley i spoke to palace to tara he's the director of the woodrow wilson center as bazelon statute and he told me that while boston are is increasingly isolated the chances of him being impeached on limited the impeachment is a complicated route because e-file the president is removed according to the constitution before 'd he serves half of the storm we have to have a new election to pick a successor in that case the vice-president does not become the president there are political interests that that is so for instance departure of former president who is inacio lula da silva could be interested in having new elections but it looks like we are going to grow to a different and alter an alternative route to 'd either extend this one to early

next year or to somehow the minute there is kind of forcing convincing mr both that he had his run and the best thing to do 'd under the circumstances including in the context of co that that will make a massive impact in brazil that his best. the best way to go is that he steps down in a law built on what we don't he is duly elected vice president to serve the rest of the tour. well still ahead on al jazeera millions in indonesia cannot get home for ramadan because of travel restrictions. and why countries in europe bars and odds i don't mind knock downs should be.

howard and i'm a star and a reminder of our top stories this hour while the leaders have joined the world health organization to launch an initiative to speed up work on drugs tests and vaccines against private 19 but the united states says it will not take office. the number of people who have died from the corona virus in the u.s. has surpassed 50000 and the country western affected by the pandemic president donald trump signed any em off trillion dollar relief package into nor most of that money will go to help small businesses. and brazil's president jalal sonora has to back it claims he fired his police chief political gain calling them completely

baseless his popular justice minister said your mara abruptly resigned on friday claiming the president was trying to interfere and no one forced. out across europe countries are as odds over when and how lockdown this should be lifted some are already sending children back to school and reopening small businesses but most industries including the hospitality sector remain totally paralyzed with no end in sight and aren't silly reports. there is one corner of europe where you can see a reminder of what life used to be like a few short weeks ago in the spring sunshine people in the swedish capital stockholm were carrying on as if the pandemic in the other and sweden has gone against the grain he not closing down restaurants are limiting people's movements much but with over 2000 dead there's a worse outcome so for that it's going to nagin that is the government is starting to sound a bit worried about it's only going to us to talk to me out which will i'm

a coma from as the spring sun appears we seem to be seeing worrying reports about full outdoor terraces in restaurants people in crowded places and we have to. take this seriously let me be extremely clear i don't want to see any crowded outdoor restaurant terraces in stockholm or anywhere else and everyone has to take this on his or her responsibility. germany has the opposite problem under the iconic brandenburg gate in berlin restaurants staged a protest by lining up hundreds of empty chairs because the authorities across the country have refused yet to countenance them reopening despite a far lower death rates than countries like sweden. and unlike sweden germany is continuing this testing opening drive through facilities to trace more and more people ministers insist life can go back to anything like normal until the infection rates drop to the hundreds every day in terms of health care it makes

perfect sense but the tension with the demands of business is growing restaurant owners have run out of patience little want to. it's no exaggeration to say the sheer panic imagine your business which is doing very well is shut down from one day to the next it means we don't have less revenue it means we have no revenue but leases and costs continue a lot to be a consolation but in most countries going out to socialize remains a faraway dream like enjoying the cuisine of the french bistro that too is almost certainly many months away reinsulate be good to fail nothing would be worse than conducting a rushed reopening of restaurants and bars which could then force us to close again i think it would be an immense disappointment not only for the restaurant owners but also for the french people. it's also worth remembering that many of the most vulnerable like the elderly of the spanish city of. couldn't afford to go out to eat even if the option was open to them here the spanish red cross is delivering

food instead of the sharp end of the virus keeping people alive remains the priority. lawrence the al-jazeera. a british government web site for booking coronavirus tests was overwhelmed by users just hours after going online and had to shut down briefly essential work as a now eligible to use the service if they're showing symptoms the government's been criticized for the slow rollout of mass testing as the number of deaths across the country 20000 rory chalons has more from central london. here is that we hit thing about doll testing situation in the u.k. we have people care workers health workers essential workers who are calling out to be tested we have a government saying that it is trying to reach $100000.00 tests a day by the end of the month that it's capacity at the moment is about $50000.00 day that is doing say roughly about $25000.00 actual tests and yet you come to

these places which have the drive through testing centers and there is hardly anybody here i mean something doesn't work out where this is really strange clearly the government has got itself into a hole with testing it's become a serious scandal in the u.k. and one of the things that the government has done in the last couple of days to try and get on top of it is to expand to the type of people who are eligible for tests places like this now previously it would be mostly that h s health care workers people also who work in retirement homes etc but now police. teaches. people who work in supermarkets etc anyone who's considered an essential worker could also apply online and come down here and get their tests done too but this whole system has fallen over quite quickly while the

government might say i'm full of every sort of success but they had to shut down the application process only a few hours after it started because they had too many applicants. now muslims across the globe are marking ramadan their holiest month of the year but while traditional rituals include gatherings for food and prayers many people will have to forgo these because of coronavirus lockdowns people have been banned from is the holiest site the grand mosque and mecca the prophet's mosque in medina is also closed for the duration of the fasting period the measures were imposed by saudi arabia's government which has the highest number of infections in the gulf region. every year during ramadan more than 20000000 workers leave indonesia's capital to travel back to their hometowns but the corona virus outbreak has disrupted that centuries old tradition because of a ban on nearly all travel in and out of the country just to washington reports

from jakarta. the bags are packed and they've paid for the tickets but this family won't be traveling anytime soon nearly all domestic and international travel in indonesia is now on hold until june yeah well yeah i always travel before it's the only time i can see my family i'm sad but there is nothing we can do we must follow the government's instructions on a normal day a station like this one would be packed with people and it would be even busier in the lead up to that won't happen this year stopping people from travelling to their hometowns should help slow the spread of the virus but it also brings new challenges for those who've lost their income and say they can no longer afford life in indonesia as big city. hours before the ban came in this was the scene at one jakarta bus depot social distancing gave way to desperation thousands of people trying to get out of the capital before it was too late barring the army because of

the announcement from the president about the travel ban many people panicked here is the epicenter of the covert 900 outbreak in indonesia and these travellers could spread the virus to provinces with no proper health facilities but many here feel they have no choice anyway is one of them millions of low income earners have lost their jobs because of the virus the factory and he works is shot indefinitely his rent is 50 dollars each month and he can't afford that now anyway. 2 the corona virus outbreak has made this ramadan different to previous years i lost my job i'm very sad i can't live in jakarta without a job i can't afford it so i decided to go home before the ban this virus hasn't just disrupted the annual homecoming of millions but their livelihoods too just to washington al-jazeera to counter. well the law is that these 12 ranges and 5

civilians have been killed in an attack on vera i'm going to park in the democratic republic of congo several more people were injured in the ambush the west in the pop history there on that is home to huff of the wild population of mountain granite in the last 20 years at least $100.00 an angels have been killed there protecting animals still clock is a professor of international politics not the support of oil in plant african studies he says the attack doesn't surprise him there have been big clashes between the major rebel group that suspected of carrying out this attack and a group called the f.d.a. . and the congolese army had been at each other's throats several weeks now and it does look like the f d a lot of use this attack on the national park rangers as a white to show their strength and as a way to try to put pressure on the congolese army to back off i think perhaps if there is a surprising elements about this attack it's the style of the civilian death toll

typically when there are attacks in the reagan national pocket that usually involves the kidnapping of a foreign tourists what we haven't seen congolese civilians being killed in such large numbers inside a national park and we certainly haven't seen this number of ranges killed so in that sense that this is very unusual that the f.t.l. are is i who to dominate said rebel group the reason that it's fighting against the congolese army of the market is that the congolese government is in the process of renewing our relations with the rwandan government and that's a 20 donated government that the rwandan government has said to congo you need to write in the f.t. a lot in we see this regional threat across the border we see 20 civilians being killed inside congo the f.t. a lot have had a recent history of going across the border in into rwanda and so that's the bigger context to this attack to die. now an iraqi man believed to be an iceland member

up and the more serious because they should in these proceedings is certainly there he said to have tied the daughter to a window of a punishment at 45 to 50 degree celsius outside in the blazing sun where the child is said to have died. 5 years since a powerful earthquake struck nepal many families are still waiting to rebuild their homes thousands of people were killed and 800000 displaced and cultural and historical monuments were also damaged most of the reconstruction has been completed but for some the work is not happening fast enough for me as a limbo reports from kathmandu. it's been 5 years since the magnitude $7.00 earthquake struck parts of nepal. home collapsed in the quake tired of living in a temporary shelter her family is rebuilding their house near the capital katmandu where 800 homes were destroyed and 7 people died i never can man by many of our
