we are good for you. to. be the hero in the world needs. washing. the global death toll from coven 1000 tops 200000 as the world health organization warns there is no evidence that having had the virus prevents reinfection. hello again i'm a star and this is al jazeera live from doha 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 world's deadliest infectious diseases. until recent northern sweden where a rare court victory for the indigenous and so many people against the swedish state has led to a series of revenge attacks or they really do. 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 and says there is no evidence that people who developed antibodies were protected from getting it affect in time and without that guarantee the agency says plans by some governments to roll out so-called immunity passports could be risky chile has announced it'll be the 1st country to hand them out so that people can return to work other countries are also looking at tests for the presence of antibodies to

try to help work out when to end lock downs and lift other restrictions rory chalons has more from london on the proposed immunity passports. the u.k. is one of many countries that has been looking at the idea of immunity passports this would 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 of france truly risk free. how do people like fortunately 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 he 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 the science can suggest otherwise. well the u.s. state of new york has begun antibody tests for frontline health wakas the screening program when examined whether doctors and nurses working with infected patients have been contracting 1000 without showing any symptoms castro reports on his every

hamburger and an anesthesiologist and saying this new york anesthesiologist recovered from coburg 19 a month ago now doctors i.v. hamburger is among an important group of frontline medical workers who hope they're immune from reinfection center here in europe that center donating countless funds for the blood plasma he's donating is also being studied to treat patients so if we give these this plasma to someone who is acutely infected with corona virus the n.t. bodies that are in the plasma for me can hopefully start attacking the virus health care workers are a significant portion of confirmed coated 19 in that sense 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 by default 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 ventilators dr hamburger is now a member of his hospital's covert rapid response team performing into beijing is on critically ill patients this is the procedure that is one of the scarier procedures in the krona virus era because this is one of the virus can be aerosolized he's volunteered to spare coworkers who've not been infected but the w.h.o. says reinfection cannot be ruled out to 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. well the number

of people who have died from crying a virus in the u.k. has now exceeded 20000 up by more than 800 in the past day britain is now the 5th country to pass that milestone in while belgium says it will start easing restrictions on the baba has will live. here all the better long live the 25th of april long list freedom the words of a former resistance fighter jaring world war 2 son to java nitze who stuck at home with the italian capital rome. the nation wide looked means on the 75th anniversary of the liberation of fascism the hanging slides from their windows up and down the country instead of holding parades and the 196 year old former parties on the salinas forces that's heartening. right now depend more important an anti-fascist demonstrations between must also keep them alive

especially at the start because a dismemberment we might destroy everything of detail in democratic states 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 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 government's promising to help the government for their lives or to assure that the federal government and a different entities are implementing a common strategy to guarantee that every citizen will receive for free at least one protective mask covering both the mouth 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 their heart don't think so because i think we we

will have a huge problem here on the intensive care. he gets or almost full. in britain where the number of people recorded as dying in the hospital from cop at 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 lifesaving restrictions we must be sure that we can continue to protect the n.h.s. that there is a sustained and consistent forward in the daily rates of death that the data shows the rate of infection decreases that the operational challenges on that and of course there is no risk of a 2nd peak of infections. meanwhile 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 al-jazeera. well the country where the current 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 serach reports. more than 3 months after the corona virus outbreak the city at the original epi cinta 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 have it 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 jiang 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 were 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 they're reporting no new

cases this week. are you observe that the governor. 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 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 . there are signs that north korea's leader may have traveled to his beach resort speculation grows about his health monitoring group has released these satellite images believed to show a train at a station and one sound which is reserved for the family of kim jong il now rumors over his health have been swelling since he failed to appear at the commemoration

of his late grandfather's birthday on april 15th reuters reports that china has sent a team of senior doctors to treat kim jong un following a heart procedure while the 5 year fight for control of yemen has taken a new turn the southern transitional council has declared a state of emergency and says it is seizing control of the self the secessionist movement blames the saudi backed government for failing to improve the lives of yemenis yemen's foreign minister mohammad al had rami says the move will have serious and catastrophic consequences. still ahead on al-jazeera the u.s. plans to turn to small technology to fight the spread of the coronavirus but that's raising concerns about civil liberties and illustrating how to get the message across we may be artists highlighting the dangers of private 19 in one of the world's most over crowded place.

hello there still a few more shots in your 4 calls across much of japan system off a system of course has been heading across blustery conditions on those showers but the good news is across central and southern china we have finally got a dry spell of what the temperature is a really picks up as well 27 and 22 in beijing and on the south coast in china where it has been a little cooler in hong kong we should see $25.00 fuel monday most secure across the korean peninsula maybe just one of 2 showers and then also still want to showers lingering across areas of honshu as we go through monday vinnell fame to ban in tokyo with your high of 80 some very heavy amounts of rain the across much of the southeast asia those showers if a widespread and scattered across much of thailand vietnam and some heaviest rain yes again in the 4 calls through borneo and again across into some arch about to draw a picture really again across much of java over the next couple of days now talking

of dry pictures it certainly has been dry and some areas of into the interior and also down across into tom and i do and you can see just how dry look at this of course it's all ahead of the monsoon rains there always desperately needed but just look at the state of the ground meanwhile we're going to follow with east we have seen some very heavy amounts of rain there's more in the forecast as we go through the next few days bangladesh as well seeing some heavy amounts of rain and generally widespread to the north. $0.60. promised. to the establishment of the jewish home at the expense of the palestinians. the story of the british declaration changed the middle east. seeds of discord

on al-jazeera. the arab. the and. hello again i'm the star. reminder of our top stories this hour the world health organization says there's no evidence that people have recovered from covert 19 developed immunity to the virus and governments not to issue so-called immunity passports due to concerns they could increase the spread. there's been a major milestone reported where the corona virus outbreak 1st began china says it's gone 10 days in a row without any debt. and satellite images have reportedly shown a train belonging to north korea's leader 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. well hundreds of people have protested against coronavirus lockdown measures at the polish german border many of them are commuters who live in poland and work in germany and since the border close they've been unable to cross poland has been on lockdown since mid march and has also imposed a mandatory toovey quarantine for those who enter its territory while there were also protests in the german city as a balin and stood guard against coronavirus restrictions they're 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 here and face masks detained more than 100 people while in the united states demonstrations are continuing against virus opt out of their protesters say stay at home orders

a violate their civil liberties but it's what the government intends to do when society does it reopen that's concerning privacy advocates she had returned to 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. the intelligence community had wanted for many years at the time they were sure and says the measures would be temporary but they've been routinely real thoreau's by congress yet mass surveillance proved ineffective counterproductive and the data was being used for purposes related 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 mouse 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 and 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 employees doff and small 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 1000 revenue streams the firm pal into whose data collection has been key to the trump illustrations deportation program is creating proven 1000 models for the government

i think all abortions are good time for a century companies are seeking takes. on to their education and to set themselves up to normalize the 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 health you know when you think about the ways in which they could be used in a variety of particularly commercial context or to treat people differently when they should be the consequences of pandemic policy of a civil liberties go beyond and tronic surveillance and president shows

a robust debate needs to occur before policies are in acted and not after she obertan see al-jazeera washington. well ashok kumar is a lecturer of international political economy at backpack college at the university of london he thinks governments should be more transparent the issues that we had 20 years ago against terrorism and. the war on terror we didn't have access to that a lot of it was done behind closed doors now we need to know what are the question what are the actual measures that states private institutions and the federal government and state governments are taking that are undermining potentially undermining civil liberties there's no longer the question of state security that needs to be applied so we don't need to necessarily make the same mistakes we did 20 years ago so i think sunlight and more in terms of allowing for civil liberties groups but also the public to know exactly what the government is doing is the 1st

is the 1st up because we don't know sr that it's certainly the case that in periods of crisis when similar duties have been taken away that it's real it's difficult for those who are liberties to be won back without a degree of struggle well the british prime minister is due to return to work on monday 2 weeks after he was discharged from the hospital where he was treated for corona virus boris johnson has been recovering at his country residence and is said to be raring to go and it comes as the government denies there have been mixed messages over the lockdown a woman ecuador who was told her sister had died of a suspected crime the virus infection has found out she is actually alive and recovering in hospital 74 year old album marie was admitted to intensive care last month in the city of quiet kill health authorities later and form the family that she had died and handed over what they thought were ashes they have apologised for

the mix up relatives say it's a miracle. now the coded $1000.00 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 now malaria is present in 41 countries the highest number of infections are shown in red is because mostly in topical climates where mosquitoes thrive and transmit the parasite to people there were nearly 250000000 recorded cases in 2018 which resulted in about 400000 deaths in the w.h.o. says that if no action is taken the number of deaths could double. as an organic chemistry professor at the university of cape town and he explains the health implications if a patient is infected with both corona virus and malaria. firstly it's the impact of covert 19 on not just the malaria of the

disease in terms of the clinical symptoms or the pathology eccentrics actual but it's also about the impact on the performance of malaria medicines and terms of the effectiveness but it's also the other way around is the impact of malaria on cove 19 and or the impact of malaria medications and cause of 19 so often when you have co-morbidity one disease can enhance the other disease because of the down time in the economy and of course people losing jobs of course of then malaria medications can become. very expensive and most of the poor communities can move really not afford them and that's your for the government apart from the fact that people who are not easily

able to assist them in any case and it's also that then they could result to other measures for example self medication self medication or relying on untested remedies for malaria which could have you know serious negative consequences on the disease including the development of resistance. now the densely populated gaza strip has confirmed more than a dozen cases of the 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 new to 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 as officials 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 limit in fiction we're giving them out free and some people are giving us their own masks to draw on. the difficult financial situation and increasing costs of masts and paint 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 mosques are increasing and they are running out of medicine. another challenge is trying to convince people to take the issue

seriously by wearing masks bird advocate again milicic a moment 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 are 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. had a group of indigenous reindeer had as in sweden have become the target ever avenge attacks and follows a landmark or training back in january and which they won back exclusive hunting and fishing rights in the arctic region where they live forest reports from near the norwegian water. this is modern day reindeer herding. sweden's indigenous salmi people crossing for exam like some snowmobiles to feed the rain there by hand a symptom of that disappearing pastures here in the arctic grain the origin is so important for the sami culture in sweden we are struggling to. you know skipping

a reindeer to survive or ruin 3 and it's very costly and puts a lot of strain some families and. the effects of climate change on the impact of mining and dams are part of a growing list of problems adding to that strain these are going to have been moved up into the mountains for the spring 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's a sammy community won against the government and which gave them back the right to decide who hunts and fishes on their land lost is one of those who has found his animals slaughtered in the words. 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 hooters. tensions rose in january after sweden supremes court ruled in favor of the song meet reindeer herding union of get us 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 sa me but hasn't commented on any strengthening of their rights so maybe the boxoffice supreme court stated that the international indigenous rights conventions sweden is bound by must be observed in decisions affecting the sami we must see changes in legislation and see it applied not least when it comes to maining and forestry. up north of the cases caused uncertainty

both for swedish hunters you now need missions from the reindeer herd is union and for sawmill you don't have membership tempering infusions them 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 party than giving the saw me a real say in the destiny of the country paul reese al-jazeera vice sweet and. hello again this is al jazeera and these are the headlines the world health organization says there's no evidence that people have recovered from craven 19 developed immunity to the virus and surging governments not to issue so-called immunity passports there's a concern they could increase the spread where a challenge has more from london. 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 a 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 british 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

coming together to fight the pump the world health organization has launched a global action plan to develop vaccines and drugs but covert 90 but the u.s. is not taking part so how do we make sure everyone has equal access to treat this is inside story. hello welcome to the program on bird it's it's being called a landmark collaboration the world health organization heads of government research

bodies came together to coordinate the fight against covert 19 they've pledged to work together to fight.
