the lives of gamma nice this is not. an event just sprung out of nowhere this is actually a pile of. mis management misgovernance and actually insult them and the council says strong leadership is needed to combat the global coronavirus pandemic leadership it says the government is lacking best ideas he she is right now compelled to say to take action to their own ends while still calling for a cease fire calling for deescalation in all fronts we want things to go smoothly or what they want to be able to deliver aid services are going to be able to battle this. but the government warns the move could have catastrophic consequences describing it as a resumption of an insurgency we were it's yet another complicating factor in yemen scribe civil war which is being mocked by shifting sometimes shadowy allegiances to

the south and safer to stay backed by the united arab emirates and have been nominal allies of the saudi immorality coalition and their war against the who think it was last year the saw the movement turned on the coalition backed government seizing aden and fighting that lasted for days was. the government says the separatist action is a rejection of a power sharing deal brokered to end last is on wrist which saudi arabia hailed as a step towards a wider political solution to the war was. this a protest movement goes back savion to the current conflict those in the south agnew yemen's unification and 998 favored the north and lead to fulfilling living standards. there are thought to be at least 25 regional separatist groups support on the ground is also in question critics say control shouldn't be taken by force but actions within yemen and not in book 3 but the. regions or you know

and i think this is like premature station that doesn't. support in other areas of the i'm going to speculate in. other places so basically we are playing with fire and i know. the 7 transitional council says it continues to support the nationwide cease fire which has just been extended by a month a declaration of autonomy and a state of emergency adds to the uncertainty for yemenis people really suffered years of hunger and war and exam ryan al-jazeera china is claiming another milestone in his battle with corona virus that says all patients have now been discharged from hospitals and hand that's the original at the center of the pandemic health officials also say they've now gone an 11th straight day with no new deaths in china who had reported more than half of the country's total cases and then 85 percent of the national death toll city residents are still being

tested regularly despite a relaxation of lockdown rules in hong kong sarah clarke says china is now looking to deploy medical resources to a border region near russia. this is the epicenter of the initial corona virus outbreak and of course engendering we saw this particular city sealed off was in general 23 when live 11000000 people went into lockdown for about 3 or so months it was only when the numbers started to drop that they lift that particular lockdown so in january february at the pick of this particular virus outbreak we're hand we have the likes of thousands of cases being reported on a daily basis of course we had accounts for half the national total of coronavirus cases in china and 3 quarters of china's deaths but instead of we had the medical efforts are now being deployed elsewhere we've got the cases on sunday a national health commission's report of 11 cases and 5 of those have come from a particular region in the north of the country that's an area called province and

this particular province borders russia it's about 4000 kilometer a border there and as a result this is now the new battleground because of the cases of the surge in infections in that particular region we've got a number of cities that been put in lockdown we've got public transport it's been postponed or held for a period of time and this type quarantine restrictions in a number of those cities and we also have mandatory testing for all arrivals coming from russia into china certainly china is now looking to deploy medical teams to this particular region as it sees a surge in the number of cases. well the corona virus has provoked protests on the border between germany and poland by people complaining that they can't get across to many of polish commuters who work in germany poland has been on lockdown since mid march a mandate 32 week quarantine for anybody who enters has also been used and germany in stuttgart they've demanded the easy of the lockdown they're chanting slogans such as i want my life back protesters complained that the restrictions are a violation of their fundamental rights right police detained more than 100 people

. well millions of children in spain are being allowed outside to play for the 1st time in 6 weeks. so only for an hour then they must be accompanied by not old and stay within a kilometer of home public parks they remain closed spain has the world's 2nd highest total of infections after the united states as well as europe's 2nd highest number of fatalities behind italy. is in madrid where she says the easing of restrictions is being welcomed after 42 days off a strict lockdown in spain this measure was really needed we've been talking to parents and children in the parks and in the streets and there was saying there was a street necessary to have. this measure released and i didn't use for them so so we were talking. children under 14 years old. to go out to the streets today to go for a walk they have to follow the 111 directions 11 mile from their home walking over

to from their home one hour and one adult with them and. family outside in the streets today killing. valentine is a clinical psychologist in situ imagist she says a gradual transition can help children adjust back to normal life. well there's a number of different ways that children can be adopted and a lot of it will depend on the child's temperament and personality and how their family is handling the lockdown but certainly time away from friends all in their routines can be quite disruptive stressful and then with the news about coronavirus not understanding everything can also be a bit anxiety provoking so i'm sure they're looking forward to some opportunities to be getting out now in spain it's probably not enough but they still start out slowly anyway you know the changes can be overwhelming so starting with this 111

policy helps children kind of ease back into different routines and different schedules and i think you know different children might be really excited others might be a bit anxious so it gives that little bit of flexibility there for children's to come out slowly and starts to see what's going on as well see maybe see friends while they're walking on the streets. it won't be enough but it's a nice start well i think it's a really nice opportunity now for parents to be having some mindful conversations with their children about what they want to do in the coming months making some plans together about how to return back to routines that they liked and maybe incorporating changes that worked out really well for them in the in lockdown or important he inhabits that they develop so it's an opportunity to really plan because the doors are actually being opened in one day. britain's prime minister is

due back at work on monday to exhausted being in intensive care for coronavirus for johnson is facing criticism of his and the government's handling of the crisis including critical shortages of personal protective clothing for health care staff and the lack of testing and calls to ease the crippling lockdown well they're increasing let's speak to jenna harlow correspondent who joins us now from westminster in central london and janet boris johnson will not be short of things to do in the coming weeks let's face it. i think that's absolutely right nic in the coming hours 1st of all we expect him to turn up here and there live gates of downing street here perhaps he'll come through the back way who knows and reacquaint himself with his office with his flat in downing street as his core team inside downing street as well as he prepares for day one back at work on monday and he will have a pretty packed in boxes you say that he returns to

a country in its 2nd 3 week phase of restrictive lockdown measures a country that has reached the peak of the coronavirus epidemic but is still registering peris perilously high new infections and and fatalities having just passed the 20000 mark on saturday there are still as you say persistent shortages of personal protective equipment for health workers and care workers on the front line. all of these things will weigh heavily on the judgments and the time that he puts into his 1st day of work but presumably his central issue will be dealing with the big predicament about the lock down about how and when to ease the lock down as you said louder and louder calls coming not just from the opposition for a timetable a fixed sort of exit strategy an idea of the government's plans but also from business leaders and senior members of his own party who are warning that if the lockdown doesn't end soon it will result in a total collapse of the economy he's got

a way up now and balance those calls on the one hand to protect the economy to ease the lock down sooner rather than later and a much more cautious approach on the other hand coming from the health and scientific community and remember he's just recovered from covered 19 only a fortnight ago it nearly took his life by his own admission he may weigh more on this side who say look it is simply too soon the numbers are still too high the government public should not be given false hope they should double down on the lockdown remember there's been broad public support up to now for this lock down but there are polls out on sunday that will worry downing street to suggest that perhaps just maybe that support is on the way here is a problem faced by leaders around the world basically there in the u.k. agenda thanks very much indeed john holl there in london. still ahead here on al-jazeera conspicuous by its absence mystery over the health and whereabouts of north korea's leader. i'm paul recent northern sweden where a red coats victory for the indigenous people against the swedish state has led to

a series of revenge attacks on a rainy day. after what seemed like weeks of rain frequently pulsing through japan and coming out of china you might think the same is happening again but you'd be wrong to think that this rain is really heading offshore into the western pacific which leaves japan the korean peninsula and almost all of china in dry weather now there will be showers around the line here stretching out to shanghai and something in taiwan that we want to in japan but it's basically a dry picture of occasional showers temperature wise up to 30 in beijing not even not warm in hong kong but the humidity has dropped here you've got a couple of sunny days and very pleasant days coming up and so now the rain is

elsewhere as compared to to me in mars certainly in bangladesh and india that is a heavy clump of thunderstorms rolling down through chennai for cost wise we look to the northern indian plane from delhi that was bangladesh to the northeast possibly up you know dishes of concentration of forecasts thunderstorms here in the next couple days and of course slowly rising temperatures over much of india. and rising temperatures are also the thing and i was in the arabian peninsula not for everyone as to when this brought something like 40 degrees or willed it and sunday in doha then it drops next couple days as the wind turns right and to brisk northerly as. al-jazeera was goes on a roller coaster journey in iran and discovers how football can empower the g.g. community itself to lead and identity. i'd like to prove to the

world counts how. i will be able to prove myself to my accounts my friends and myself people to decide to chop afghan unity on al-jazeera. move. forward. but you what you have is you're a reminder the top stories this china says all coronavirus patients have not been discharged from hospital the original epicenter of beijing is also reporting no new coronavirus deaths for in an 11th straight day. millions of children in spain are being allowed outside to play for the 1st time in 6 weeks the looked on is easy but

it's only for an hour and they must be accompanied by an adult and stay within a kilometer or. a yemen saw the transitional council based in a has declared a state of emergency and says it will establish self rule secessionist movement blames the saudi backed government for failing to improve the lives of yemeni. or catherine the shut down was head of the. century foundation which is a peace building think tank in london and she doesn't think the power dynamic in yemen has actually changed. it's more of a reflection of the political reality in yemen. this south yemen has ached for independence for decades now. and i think that it's actually becoming about now only because of the of the situation and the war in yemen since 2015 so they were able to realize their political ambition and so critical determination

and i think the main issue. may have at this moment has to do with the fact that in fact. the government heidi is in reality hasa lost whatever legitimacy you may have had at some point and we need to remember that the only legit in the city that he ever had was in 5 that were given by the international community because there was an understanding that if he wasn't actually supported by the international community then to fact. to suffer and she would fall onto the hersey movement and so had he was propped up and kept in power even though he was only that to tradition yemen into intern other political era following the last demise and so it's interesting to see that the f.t.c. has been the only institution so far there has been able to gain some kind of a privilege to missed in backing that has been able to function as

a de facto state we need to can't remember that if the position in between north and south has become in try now in fact they have different currency as the has declared their own capital they have operated as if they were different states even though movement is still allowed in between and between the 2 people who are not being stopped at the what they call the border now and so it's quite interesting i think that now the reality is actually catching up with the way they're reframing the political setup of yemen. bez a growing uncertainty about the health and whereabouts of north korea's leader who hasn't been seen in public for 2 weeks a train possibly belonging to kim jong un was spotted it as a result of the country according to satellite images the reuters news agency says that china has sent a team of doctors to treat him after a ha procedure rumors about camels health of increased since he fell to appear at

an event marking his late grandfather's birthday that was on april the 15th when jim most is a senior research associate in the security studies program at massachusetts institute of technology and he says the speculation is part of a familiar pattern. if we played this game before with him and with previous leaders where we've said oh he's disappeared for 2 weeks he's disappeared for 3 weeks you know it does that mean he might die similarly with the supreme leader in iran durbin numerous rumors about imminent demise that never came true you know it's a pandemic right in north korea where does north korea live right next to the country where the corona virus originated now did not it has any cases i find it hard to believe i'm not saying he would. have contracted it obviously boris johnson did so you know do we have a smoking gun here that something is

a right no because of the focus on 1000 which is totally appropriate and all the things that means we haven't been thinking about north korea but if north korea if the leader da is in a context in which there's a global pandemic it's under sanctions and entering a recession is joining economy declines that's a big deal and we might want to think about it before it happens rather than after it happens the estate in new york has begun antibody tests for frontline health care workers screening program will examine whether doctors and nurses working with infected patients have been contract uncovered 19 without showing any symptoms hijack castra as this. i'm saving hamburger from an anesthesiologist and saying this new york anesthesiologist recovered from coded 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 new york that center donating on the list
