couldn't believe this chronicling the turbulent story of the struggle for a palestinian homeland and p.l.o. history of the revolution on al-jazeera. the. the global death toll from covert 1000 tops 200000 as the world health organization warns there is no evidence that having had the virus prevents reinfection. there i missed on the attack and this is al jazeera live from davos also coming up a major milestone for the country where the virus began china has not reported any new deaths for 10 straight days. growing concerns of the pandemic could set back

the fight against malaria one of the well the deadliest infectious diseases. on clarice and northern sweden where a record victory for the indigenous zomi people against the swedish state has led to a series of revenge attacks or they really did. 200000 people have now died from the corona virus and the world health organization has warned that people who recover from the disease may not be immune to reinfection it says there is no evidence that people who developed antibodies were protected from getting it a 2nd time now without that guarantee the agency says plans by some governments to roll out so-called immunity passports could be risky and chile has announced it will be the 1st country to hand them out so that people can return to whack other countries are also looking at tests for the presence of antibodies to help work out

when to end lockdowns and lift other restrictions from from london chalons has more on those proposed immunity possible. the u.k. is one of many countries that has been looking at the idea of immunity passports this will be a way for people or some people at least to go back to work if they could prove that they already have had covert 19 and therefore it's assumed that they have an immunity i wouldn't be able to get again or pass it on but the w.h.o. the world health organization is not keen on this idea for this reason well we do certainly understand the intention of trying to see who can go safely back who were who be a van surely risk free or other people but unfortunately from the scientific point of view we simply don't know for a person who has been infected with. 90. 2.

gets this immunity and if it gets the immunity how long this immunity is lasting now there are always problems with the immunity passport idea to start with for one thing it's very divisive if you have some people who are allowed to go back to work and some people aren't at a time when most governments are trying to unify their populations and say we're all in this together but this verdict from the w.h.o. that people don't necessarily have immunity anyway and also saying that the testing to prove this or not is a bit sketchy at the moment at the best well i think that kills the immunity passport idea for the moment at least until a science can suggest otherwise. chris smith as a consultant medical just and also electra at the university of cambridge he says the w.h.o. can't afford to back immunity passes until they're sure about the long term effects of the virus. i think the w.h.o.

are taking the stance they are because what they want to actively discourage is the possibility that there could be the voluntary or coerced self infection back in the 1980s it was very popular and even into the $990.00 s. to have chicken pox parties where a parent who had a child with chicken pox would invite all that child's mates around and everyone would share the infection as well as birthday cake and about 14 days later you'd have a big crop of people were chicken pox but then you'd be immune to life there's a concern that if people thought that this was their passport not just to travel internationally but not worrying about this anymore there might be a temptation of them to go out and actively seek out infection that would be a high risk strategy to be uncontrolled and as a result it could lead to another surge in cases surge of transmission and a surge of people getting very unwell despite the fact the risk is still very low of that happening so i think they're probably choosing their words very carefully to discourage this but what we will find out inevitably in the coming months is how long this immunity last fall but because we've only known about the virus for

a relatively short time we can't possibly know about its long term performance in terms of immune response for longer than we've known about and that amounts to about 6 months well the u.s. state of new york has begun antibody tests for frontline health care whack it the screening program will examine whether doctors and nurses working with infected patients have been contracting private 19 without showing any symptoms how does a castro reports i'm saving here murder i'm an anesthesiologist and there was this new york anesthesiologist recovered from colbert 19 a month ago now doctors levy hamburger is among an important group of front my medical workers who hope they are immune from retraction from hearing of the surgery and the dual meaning that the blood plasma he's donating is also being studied to treat patients so it will give these the suppliers more to someone with acutely instructed with career at various. the antibodies that are in the puzzle

for me can hopefully start attacking the virus health care workers are a significant portion of confirmed covert 19 infections in the u.s. the federal government reports more than $9000.00 doctors and nurses are among those who tested positive and the number is likely an underestimate given occupation information was missing from 80 percent of those tracked cases they are folks that you know by i just thought they take time to rest they know that when they go into health care right so they don't run away from the fire they go to this restaurant that this is actually bringing in one of our vets boy dr hamburger is now a member of his hospital's covert rapid response team performing into beijing's on critically ill patients this is the procedure that is one of the scarier procedures in the kroner virus era because this is one of the virus can be terrorists or at least he's volunteered to spare coworkers who have not been infected but the w.h.o.

says reinfection cannot be ruled out through anti-body tests alone the question of potentially munity needs more study. meanwhile in maryland a parade of police cars have come to say thank you to hospital workers soon it will be back inside to waiting patients and a virus we still have a lot to learn about castro al-jazeera silver spring maryland. now the number of people have died from the current virus in the u.k. has exceeded 20000 by more than 800 just in the past day britain is now the 5th country to pass that milestone meanwhile belgium says it will start easing restrictions and. leave. the euro lieberthal long live the 25th of april long list the words of a former resistance going to world war 2 sons. who stuck at home with the. capital

rome. the nation wide looked means on the 75th anniversary of liberation and the end of fascism the hanging fly eggs from their windows up and down the country instead of holding parades and the 196 year old former parties and who fought in the salinas forces that's heartening. right now depend more important an anti-fascist demonstrations between must also keep them alive especially at this time because a dismemberment we might destroy everything of the italian democratic state in the name open denecke that is very dangerous and very uncertain. it's that uncertainty that's behind belgium's approach as it plans to gradually lift restrictions despite having the highest coronavirus death rate per capita or europe from the 4th of may when the 1st shots reopened everyone aged 12 or over will have to wear a mask on public transport the governments promising to help it will run them over their lives or to to assure that the federal government and the different entities

are implementing a common strategy to guarantee that every citizen will receive for free at least one protective mask covering both him out and the nose bars and restaurants across belgium will start reopening in june but the government says it will bring back restrictions if the medical situation worsens it's not an easy question can release . everything from the heart don't think so because i think we we will have a huge problem on the intensive care. he bets are almost 4. in britain where the number of people recorded as dying in the hospital from covered 19 has gone past 20000 people are being urged to be patient and stick to the stay home guidelines the 5 tests we have laid out must be met before we can easies life saving restrictions we must be sure that we can to continue to protect the n.h.s. that there is a sustained and consistent fall in the daily rates of death that the data shows the

rate of infection decreases that the operational challenges on met and of course that there is no risk of a 2nd peak of infections. the one in the french capital where restrictions are even tougher this neighborhood cinema is projecting films onto its walls for anyone living near enough a simple way of bringing people together until they're allowed to socialize once again the dean barber al jazeera. well the country where the corona virus pandemic began is marking a significant milestone china says it's gone 10 days in a row without any reported deaths meanwhile japan has become the epicenter of the outbreak in asia with more than 12000 cases. port's. more than 3 months after the corona virus outbreak the city at the original epi santa is standing down some of its medical teams china's national health commission says all critically

ill patients and will have recovered with the last group dispatched from hospital on saturday. the number of patients in severe in critical condition and we had says he finally became 0 which marks a decisive victory in the battle against the virus means that the curve at 903 men in china has reached international advanced levels. the government is now focusing its efforts on a rise in imported cases in the northern province of helen jan which borders russia china has recorded more than 83000 cases of the virus but a study published in the journal lancet says the numbers could be 4 times higher if they are just presenting with cold symptoms at a time of winter in china then they simply would have got infected so i had the cold maybe being diagnosed with having a cold or pneumonia like symptoms and then got better 85 percent of cases singapore now has the highest corona virus infection right in asia it's reported another

spike in its daily cases the majority of new infections a migrant workers living in crowded dormitories medical teams have been deployed to step up testing and health checks and the government has extended the nationwide lockdown until june but as singapore tartans its quarantine measures vietnam is starting to lift its restrictions the streets in hanoi are still empty but some shops are reopening for business with the health authority there reporting no new cases this week. i observe that the government. decision instructions are very well thought out and logical and in recent days the outbreak has been pushed back a few grateful for being a few citizen it's a downward trend being shifted in south korea which suffered the 1st major outbreak outside china its government has outlined a 2 year recovery plan after reporting the lowest number of cases since the peak in february but the south korean health minister has warned citizens to accept the

reality that life won't return to normal for some time yet sarah clarke al-jazeera now there are signs that north korea's leader may have traveled to his beatrice a lot as speculation grows about his health a monitoring group has released of these satellite images believed to show a train station and one son which is reserved for the family of kim jong il and now room is over his health have been swirling since he failed to appear the commemoration of his late grandfather's birthday on april 15th reuters reports that china has dispatched a team of senior doctors to treat kim jong un after he underwent heart surgery. still ahead on out of there one of the u.s. government's measures to fight the corona virus is raising concerns about civil liberties and we need our tests highlighting the dangers of covert $19.00 and $1.00 of the world's most overcrowded place.

hello there still a few showers into the northeast of the united states some blustery conditions as well but really the good news is those severe thunderstorms they are not in the 4 calls for the next couple of days however out across the southwest we go play skies and some very high temperatures at least 10 degrees above the average into southern california clear blue skies very warm indeed in the societies how much is really on the high side 31 in los angeles on sunday 20 celsius in san francisco so feeling a lot better for you this is the area of rain on sunday worked his way through the high valley pushing up into the northeast as blustery winds and that rain keeping those temperatures a little bit lower and in fact just 10 celsius in new york on monday but then you come across to the west where we have all these heat warnings in place and the red really shows it very clearly says southern california nevada and also phoenix into

on al-jazeera. the the and. how again i missed on. a reminder of our top stories this hour the world health organization says there's no evidence that people who've recovered from carbon 19 develop immunity to the virus it's governments not to issue so-called immunity possible it's due to concerns they could increase the spread. and there's been a major milestone reported where the corona virus outbreak fast began china says it's gone 10 days in a row without any deaths. and satellite images have reportedly shown a train belonging to north korea's leader popped in

a resort town there's growing speculation about the health of kim jong un who vanished from public view 2 weeks ago reuters reports that china has dispatched a team of senior doctors to treat him. now hundreds of people have been protesting against coronavirus lockdown measures at the polish german border many of them commuters who live in poland and work in germany since the border close they've been unable to cross poland has been on lockdown since mid march and has also imposed a mandatory to be quarantined for those who enter its territory and in the german cities of balanced it got hundreds of people have also been demonstrating against coronavirus restrictions chanting slogans like i want my life back they demanded lockdown restrictions be eased calling them a violation of their fundamental rights police wearing riot gear and face masks detained more than 100 protesters. well in the united states demonstrations are

continuing their against coronavirus walk down protest as they stay at home or does a violate their civil liberties but it's what the government intends to do when society does reopen that's concerning privacy advocates she have attended reports from washington. within weeks of 911 the patriot act was passed in the u.s. with no congressional debate it allowed unprecedented surveillance with minimal oversight over american citizens the alternative the government suggested was responsibility for another terrorist attack the laundry list. that the taliban's community had wanted for many years at the time they were sure and says the measures would be temporary but they've been routinely reauthorized by congress yet mass surveillance proved ineffective counterproductive and the data was being used for purposes unrelated to terrorism it was only 12 years after the patriot act passed with the whistleblowing of edward snowden that we discovered the extent of the mass surveillance and only then was the government's bulk collection of

information about americans limited now with the spread of covert 19 snowden and others so there's an opportunity to learn from the past systems to monitor everyone's location at all times of being formalized in secret at the point these policies are being sought these benefits are theoretical often there is no evidence for them and they may never materialize that keep ability will exist in 3 months in 3 years and in 30 years if we allow it to be implemented today clusters of disease do need to be located swiftly and closed off and smart phone data is being used to locate those not adhering to social distancing requirements but we have few specific details on data collection facebook and google have been in talks with the government on sharing information they collect about us online advertising companies that track our movements are discussing new covert 19 revenue streams the firm pal into whose data can. has been key to the trumpet illustrations deportation

program is creating kuvin 1000 models for the government they call it wasn't a good time for a century companies are seeking takes. on to their education and to set themselves up to normalize it techniques i tip ensure profits what's been called for is full transparency exactly what information is being collected by whom how long has it been kept for and how is it being used particularly by law enforcement agencies it is traditionally the disadvantaged in society who bear the weight that surveillance right you know we talk about the color of surveillance well the color surveillance of black browed and that's definitely something to be thinking about when you think about data when you think about healthy you know when you think about the ways in which healthy that could be misused in a variety of particularly commercial contexts or to treat people differently when they should be the consequences of pandemic policy of

a civil liberties go beyond and the chronic surveillance and president shows a robust debate needs to occur before policies are an active and not after she ever chancy al-jazeera washington. well the covert 19 pandemic is causing severe disruptions to malaria medicines that's according to the world health organization this is leading to a weekly increase in cases across parts of africa and malaria is present in $41.00 countries the highest number of infections are shown in red now it occurs mostly in tropical climates where mosquitoes thrive and transmit the parasite to people there were nearly 230000000 recorded cases in 2018 which resulted in about 400000 deaths and the w.h.o. says if no action is taken the number of deaths could double while in kenya heavy seasonal rains have destroyed thousands of homes now mosquitoes are thriving putting the displaced at greater risk of catching the disease know about manning reports. one outta humor has lost time and she's sick from malaria.

a mother is doing her best to keep her safe in this temporary camp in northeast kenya. don't know where the baby has been really sick we went to the hospital and they said she had malaria they asked for money to give her medication but we didn't have any so we came back home she hasn't slept she's sick and cries a lot when the seasonal rain swept to have village near greece or rising floodwaters from the time river submerged. with the flood ski many mosquitoes putting the people at risk of malaria. it's a life threatening disease in hot humid climates across african countries mosquitoes spread a parasite that infected nearly 230000000 people in 20. 400000 died in the statement kenyan president who can yasser says it believes malaria

prevalence from a high of 6000000 infections to 4600000 over the last 10 years. this progress is a result of support and cooperation between the government development partners and frontline health providers kenya has joined ghana and malawi in a pile this vaccine program that's focusing on the worst hit areas. with countries responding to the group of ours pandemic the world health organization says this could directly impact the number of malaria cases it's governments to take action we need to. monthly or. to. or all. our all. women to perform. malaria and the gruesome without the means to give

him a medicine her mother has no choice but to hope she's strong enough to fight off the disease herself. now in israel hundreds of people rallied against a unity government deal despite a crowd of ours locked out a similar rally was held last weekend before benjamin netanyahu formed a coalition with any council's blue and white party the rivals agreed to a power sharing deal to end a year of political deadlock and 3 elections netanyahu is facing a corruption trial but denies any wrongdoing the densely populated gaza strip has confirmed to more than a dozen cases of private 19 with fears that an outbreak could have devastating consequences artists have been decorating mosques and giving them away for free and an attempt to encourage people to wear them but as nearly abraham reports they're running out of money and may have to stop. these are to say danger is inching

towards gaza and people need to take precautionary measures against covered $1000.00. so far officials here insist guards are safe from community transmission and they want to keep it that way. they've shut down many aspects of life in one of the world's most crowded places artists hope drawing on masks will encourage many to wear them in public and raise the level of alert have official haven't asked the population to cover their faces yet but a growing number of people are. we want to draw a colorful happy and joyous shape so people will wear masks to help them as in fiction we're giving them out free and some people are giving us their own masks to draw on. well the difficult financial situation and increasing costs of masts and paint might and during the shift of.

we've saved some money and wanted to help those who are poor and out of work but we are facing a crisis now the prices of masts are increasing and they are running out of medicine. another challenge is trying to convince people to take the issue seriously by wearing masks. if it wasn't for this project i wouldn't want the mosque in gaza we're not used to wearing masks there are people who are too shy or don't want to look on still some clearly do not feel unsafe more than a dozen covered 1000 infections have been reported in the gaza strip it's home to 2000000 people living in close proximity. it has been under an israeli and egyptian blockade for over a decade that has weakened its health system and palestinians fear they won't be able to cope with a disease that even bridge countries are struggling with. this means preventative

measures including physical distancing or even more important. the police say with the weather getting warmer some are heading to the seaside as it's one of the only places left to relax. some say gaza's relatively low number of infections is because it's been cut off from the rest of the world for years but it also means that if the virus were to spread here it could have a devastating impact on its people. in there but he. now a group of indigenous reindeer head as in sweden has become the target of revenge attacks and follows a landmark court ruling back in january and which they won back experience of hunting and fishing rights in the arctic region where they live forest reports from by phil ochs and near the norwegian. this is modern day reindeer herding. sweden's indigenous saw me people crossing frozen lakes on snowmobiles to feed the

reindeer by hand a symptom of their disappearing pastures here in the arctic reindeer herding so important for disarming culture in sweden we are struggling to you know skipping reindeer to survive every winter and it's very costly and puts a lot of strains on families and reindeer herders the effects of climate change and the impact of mining and dams are part of a growing list of problems adding to that strain these rainy day have been moved up into the mountains for the spring and summer where the spike all the dangers that face them they should at least be safe from a new on the to merged over the winter. that new danger was a spate of killings of reindeer suspected to have been carried out by swedish neighbors in retaliation for a court case that the saw me community won against the government and which gave them back the right to decide who hunts and fishes on their land. is one of those who has found his animals slaughtered in the woods. i let my reindeer loose

here and a man drove up and said you don't come here with your reindeer or will shoot them we've already shot 7 or right and if i meet you alone in the forest i'll shoot you too it's been a tense winter most of the swedes are good people but we have this clique that has such hatred towards reindeer and reindeer who has. tensions rose in january after sweden supremes court ruled in favor of the saw meat reindeer herding union of getting whose land stretches some 300 kilometers from here near the norwegian border it could set a precedent for 50 other such areas covering half of sweden and may also hinder plans for more wind and water power plants and mines which have already decimated reindeer pastures the government in stockholm has condemned what it described as racism threats and hate against the saw me but hasn't commented on any strengthening of their rights so maybe the. supreme court stated that the international indigenous rights conventions sweden is bound by must be observed in

decisions affecting the saami we must see changes in legislation and see it applied not least when it comes to maining and forestry. back up north of the cases caused uncertainty both for swedish hunters who now need missions from the reindeer herd as union and you don't have membership tempering enthusiasm for what is a rare victory for their people and while the coronavirus devastates the economy the creation of yet more industry on these lands could be a bigger priority than giving the salmi a real say in the destiny of the country. vice a. sweden. hello again this is al jazeera and these are the headlines the world health organization says there's no evidence that people who've recovered from covert 19 develop immunity to the virus it's urging governments not to issue so-called immunity

passports jews are concerned they could increase the spread worry chalons has more from the law. now there are always problems with the immunity passport idea to start with for one thing it's very divisive if you have some people who are allowed to go back to work and some people are at a time when most governments are actually trying to unify their populations and say we're all in this together but this verdict from the w.h.o. that people don't necessarily have immunity anyway and also saying that the testing to prove this or not is a bit sketchy at the moment at best but i think that kills the immunity passport idea for the moment at least until the science can suggest otherwise well there's been a major milestone where the crown of our virus outbreak 1st began china says it's gone 10 days in a row without any deaths and japan has the highest daily infection rate in asia with more than $12000.00 cases the number of coronavirus related deaths in u.k.

hospitals has now surpassed 20000 the medical director of england's national health service described it as a very sad day for the nation satellite images have reportedly shown a train belonging to north korea's leader parked in a resort town there's growing speculation about the health of kim jong un who hasn't been seen publicly for a couple of weeks. an island wide caf you has been reimposed in sri lanka until monday because of another surge in cases there restrictions had been relaxed in what were considered low risk areas outside the capital colombo and india has begun easing its nationwide lock down some of the small neighborhood stores relied upon by the country's 1300000000 people are being allowed to reopen but large malls that remain closed well those are the headlines they'll be more news here to talk to al-jazeera to stay with us eyes only. treats and trace frank assessments why is it so he's struggling to cope with the number coronavirus

failure to take really aggressive action leave them behind the herd informed opinions it's going to be much more challenging in a place like he did with his one ventilator 3000000 people in-depth analysis of the day's global headlines india turning up to the spread of the one of ours in the inside story on al-jazeera will. be. june the 26945. is the 2nd movie war was ending representatives of 50 countries signed the united nations chiltern san francisco. the un officially came into existence in october of that year when the church was ratified by china france former soviet union united kingdom united states as well as by a majority of other signatories. almost 75 years later the year.
