states are preparing to loosen restrictions starting on monday but health experts are concerns they're moving too fast without adequate testing and contact tracing infrastructure how does our caster begins our coverage from the united states despite clear warnings the virus continues to spread some americans have just had enough it's been 5 weeks and most people here with thousands of calls cannot get through to unemployment they don't know what they're going to do protesters gathered in downtown las vegas begging to return to jobs that shuttered casinos and entertainment venues along the city's famed district police arrested several beach goers in california who showed up to take in the sun despite prohibitions are you concerned the message from the white house coronavirus response coordinator was the opposite we should still social distance we should still wear those mass to protect others as we work through this epidemic she warns social distancing should continue

through the summer even as a handful of states allow barbershops and other businesses to reopen. the money but the vast majority of the country remains closed the white house economic adviser says the next jobs report will likely show unemployment at 16 percent or higher this is the biggest negative shock that are caught in the i think has ever seen we're going to be looking at an unemployment rate that approaches rates that we saw during the great depression the number of dead in the u.s. also continues to rise it's now more than $54000.00 with newspapers pain tribute to so many names and faces of the lost castro al jazeera silver spring maryland. well let's speak to what she is a professor of epidemiology and medicine and director of i kept at columbia university and she joins us now on skype from new york what i understand even the white house's plan for opening america up again details widespread testing and very
2:04 am
aggressive contact tracing as criteria the states to even begin consider reopening now both of those have been ongoing issues especially the testing has capacity improved so drastically to the extent where states can actually consider reopening safely well the situation in the u.s. is currently quite chaotic i would say in terms of how different states are moving ahead with easing some of the restrictions despite the lack of evidence to support such decisions like resample despite the fact that there's not enough testing that's available to know exactly what's going on in their communities and also despite the fact that barry may not be even following some of the crew to your ear there have been put forth by the national level in terms of the measurements that you need to keep an eye on before you even consider using these these restrictions well as you say every state has their own approach to reopening it's
2:05 am
all based on their own individual situations but given the prosody of state borders people traveling around how does that affect things does there need to be a more coordinated approach. absolutely i think there's a great need for coordinated approach and there's a great need for one voice so that guides what happens in every part of this country and it really should be guided by uniform approach but can be adapted to local circumstances both is it's not very constructive are our if not dangerous to meet decisions individually to one locality and one state level when we know that people who've across states all the time so that the need for a coordinated decision making can approach that measured and attics into more of a regional approach rather than one state by state approach we've also been hearing changing messages from the w.h.o. rise and with such uncertainty about the level of immunity people get when they recover from the virus and given the lack of effective antibody tests in the us is
2:06 am
there even a metric to try to map how or when to reopen. yes there are some metrics and these metrics include measures like for example you need to look at the numbers of newly diagnosed cases every day and only the side to ease restrictions if there is a sustained decrease in the numbers of new cases every day in other metric is also numbers of hospitalizations covered $1000.00 hospitalizations that can all can also be measured the day out and other measures of that nature so that if there is evidence of sustained decrease meaning that not just one day a decrease or 2 days or 3 days but at least $2.00 to $3.00 weeks that's consistent decrease that snowden then is the right time to consider easing of some of these used to actions but certainly one cannot get banned at this point and antibodies because we don't even know if having antibody is going to be protective against
2:07 am
getting the corona virus infection or often even years in the metrics that you mentioned that countries in asia who thought they had things under control they're now seeing a 2nd wave of infection some of them and presumably that's likely in the us too so how does one reconcile that with trying to reopen. well i think that at some point if these matters are all moving in the right direction in the way in which communities and states and so reopen is also very important to what gets reopened 1st what happens next and so on and it's really important to keep measuring these metrics as you move ahead because you may have to pull back from some of the easing that's already been put in place you also have to at the same time be expanding the testing and expanding the contact tracing so all of these seen things have to happen at the same time and i think it's very important that the population be ready to even have to go back to more restrictive measures if
2:08 am
there is evidence of we have a surge again of cases of course with 90 well they're a professor of epidemiology and medicine at columbia university thank you very much for joining us on al-jazeera thank you well there has been some relief for children in spain who have been allowed to leave the house for the 1st time in 6 weeks as the country is locked down begins to ease their children aged 13 and can now go outside for one hour a day and with the daily death toll falling it's hoped that other restrictions will also gradually be relaxed the reports. it's been 6 long weeks stuck inside for 6 year old marco and his parents in their apartment in central madrid and it's been hard for all of them kate of his 18 itself is a collectivity and the lack of that that those activities outside is suspect in him somehow he is more i never said. this is the line it sometimes.

we are in a federalist system so governors have a lot of say in public health policies governments have been taking a much more strict measures. and those are not as mean dumb plane that hoping to not to have such a large economic impact that's going to look bad on him in the next couple of months and what we're going to see is one of 2 scenarios either he stays in power but he's unable to govern because he doesn't have a coalition anymore he doesn't have supporting congress you know his. his political capital always completely diminished so even if he stays in power he won't be able to government he will be sort of a lame duck for the next 2 years the autor the other scenario is if there is will for impeachment and that's a big question mark because one people are not into streets yet there's not
2:21 am
a lot of people are not of course for dip and then it but it's not sure it's not for sure that we will have popular movements to to to take the present bell and the 2nd part is who wants to sit on that chair right now you know with the pandemic with an economic crisis that was building up before the pandemic it's not up is not a pleasant job to take on so there's still a very big question mark if we will have an impeachment or not but for sure he will be unable to govern again and scuffing mentos warning of a catastrophe to southern separatists to cat self rule and full control of the port city of the southern transitional council a saving of a 10 to independence and is accusing the government of mismanagement so far a number of southern provinces have rejected the co-author self-confidence dosage of our reports. the internationally recognized government in yemen is calling it
2:22 am
a coup after the southern transitional council announced it was in control of the port city of aden. the council accuses the government of being unable to cope with the coronavirus pandemic and failing to improve the lives of yemenis. so far there has been only one confirmed covert 19 infection in the southern region of how they are marked this is actually a pileup of. mis management and misgovernance in especially in south yemen well that's why the f.c.c. is right now compelled to say to take action into their own hands 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 service is going to be able to battle this and them but the government warns the breakaway attempt could have catastrophic consequences describing it as a resumption of an armed insurgency. it's yet another complicating factor in
2:23 am
yemen's 5 year civil war which has been marked by shifting sometimes shadowy allegiances. the southern separatists are backed by the united arab emirates and have been nominal allies of the saudi emirate to call ition in their war against the whose these. are the the government says the separatists action is a rejection of a power sharing deal brokered to end last year's unrest which saudi arabia hailed as a step towards a wider political solution to the war there are thought to be at least 25 regional separatist groups support on the ground is also in question critics say control should be taken by force but actions within yemen and you will not and will be but for the. regions or earlier and i think this is like a premature decision that doesn't. support in other areas of
2:24 am
yemen it's basically. in other places so basically we are playing with fire at the moment and nothing. but. the southern transitional council says it continues to support the unilateral cease fire declared by saudi arabia 2 and a half weeks ago it has been just extended by month but its declaration of autonomy and state of emergency adds to the uncertainty for yemenis who've already suffered years of hunger and war. dorsetshire pari al-jazeera. attack on an ethnic group in the democratic republic of congo has killed at least 23 people as happened in a tour a province 700 people have been killed bethany 2017 the ilo community has been attacked before by an armed group called the cooperative for the development of congo where david also is a counterterrorism expert at global risk international he explains why the government in the d.l.c. has issues on multiple fronts. i think waste is in march country and before 2

2:27 am
see if that was the same for people food allergies are on the rise globally and for some people can be life threatening scientists are still trying to understand why early g.'s and more prevail and in developed countries and urban areas. but studies have shown a link with our modern lifestyle pollution and hygiene products which kill bacteria all affect our immune systems our bodies contain trillions of bacterial cells many live in a digestive system the australian researches say they hope their latest findings could help develop a probiotic that stimulates a baby's developing immune system and reduces the likelihood of later developing an allergy. it might not be a cure for no an easy but it may be one step closer to an allergy free life for millions of others so does either. now one of the most anticipated sporting events in the united states has been held at a video conference drawing
