number of daily deaths fully the government's hoping to ease restrictions further from next weekend's new study. i would like to announce that if the evolution of the pandemic continues in a positive direction as it is doing so far starting from may 2nd at me people will be allowed to go out to individual physical activity and walks with the people with whom they live however always in the conditions laid down by the health authorities and i. in the southern city of sybil the annual fair isn't happening but that hasn't stopped them celebrating with people dancing traditionally. balconies and generally enjoying the chance to let their hair down the city council may think the event in september is part of the plan to recover the tourism industry. there right now there's a cautious optimism in spain as people take stock of how many lives the crisis has already taken. while the white house official coordinating the

country's response to the corona virus outbreak says social distancing may be necessary right through the summer deborah buck says the u.s. needs a huge technology breakthrough to expand testing before the country can reopen but state governors remain divided his or castro reports 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. 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 with newspapers pain tribute to so many names and faces of the lost castro al jazeera silver spring maryland well in the coming days we'll be looking at how essential industries are being impacted by this pandemic beginning with farming and food security now the u.s.

depends on millions of farm workers to maintain its food supply but cramped working and living conditions are putting them at increasing risk of infection rob reynolds reports from california the country's biggest agricultural produce. strawberries are right dinning in the fields waiting to be picked but for farm workers like maria harvest time is a season of fear but. i am afraid of getting sick because if i don't recover i will die so i would leave for children in the often it's i am obviously afraid but i have to whack maria who is undocumented and asked that her surname not be used is one of an estimated $3000000.00 farm workers in the us all are considered essential workers like doctors nurses and law enforcement but unlike them they are paid low wages have fewer legal protections and many lack protective gear on to seem to me the bottom line the last line think about them they are about. any form workers as

a group are already among the least healthy in society poverty lack of access to basic medical care high rates of diabetes hypertension and lung problems from exposure to pesticides means that farm workers are at high risk of becoming extremely ill or dying if they get corona virus a corona virus flare up among farm workers could spread like wildfire extremely difficult to prevent the spread if there's a there's a major outbreak in the agriculture industry even a good one outbreak among say one careless farm labor contractor can cause an outbreak among the whole industry many farm operators do allow workers to practice social distancing for example by working alternate rows of crops but the pay structure discourages stringent hygiene and many workers are being paid piece

and these are particularly those students who are ending this school year for the final year of their preparation for those exams that the roll out will happen across the country over the next month the primary school students will return in may but as you mentioned some schools you know that universities have already reopened but the focus now is on looking at some the big cities we're looking at shanghai which is in the south of china and beijing now all these schools are required to have contingency plans in place to cope with any risks of the crime of ice transmissions and teachers have been trained in emergency procedures and students have also been given protection social distancing measures are still in place at the schools of the the playgrounds have been separated almost like exam rooms where they'll be divided up the students won't have but i must remind one point i made his pass that we've had a nationwide shutdown of the school since january so 3 months of school closures and clearly the schools have been reopened to juice the falling number of cases and on monday we had just 3 new cases across china none of which were in here by province and as you mention we're has been it was the epicenter of the crime of

days hospitals there are overwhelmed there are officially nearly 23000 cases but health workers say people are dying foster that they can be tested and the strain on the health system has begun to show and disturbing ways our latin america editor listin human takes a look at a bizarre case of mistaken identity. this is 74 year old i'll be to my duty 3 weeks ago she was supposedly crewmate id after reportedly dying in hospital from corona virus but now her family has been informed to still very much alive and that they have the wrong ashes. this isn't the 1st case of mistaken identity in ecuador's chaotic cold with 1000 epicenter of. nationwide the number of confirmed cases has doubled lucy very ill this is not because the cases appeared overnight but because all the backlog tests were processed and reported yesterday. in

ecuador no one can really say how many people have died from cold in 1000 only that people are dying faster than they can be properly tested in identified a nurse who doesn't want to be named says that in his hospital in by a key he said to pile of bodies in the bathrooms because there's no more room elsewhere. that's very traumatic for us imagine i have nightmares i'm not very well psychologically we can't do more for a critical question than get them sailing solution when what they need is a pencil. in brazil it's a similar case this is the no senora up but i see that symmetry in my now says the gateway to the brazilian amazon even some of the grave diggers have died after contracting the virus in the desperate race to bury victims. luigi pollard just lost his mother in law who he says could not access emergency care to him. a person

who needed to be in intensive care unit was in a basic hospital but where they didn't even have x. rays it's a horrible film i never expected to see this in my life locked up in a bog. hospital to reaching their capacity even before the expected peak of the pandemic malaria and yellow fever are already widespread in this region where communities along the amazon river are days away from the nearest hospital now my now says the highest mortality rate from cold 19 in all of brazil a sanitary emergency that's become a calamity you see in human al-jazeera although some other news now in the saudi led coalition in yemen is calling for an end to violence after separatists in the city of aden declared self rule the southern transitional council is seeking a return to independence and is accusing the government of mismanagement but saudi arabia is calling for all studs all sides to abide by a power sharing agreement that was signed 5 months ago dosage barrier reports. the

internationally recognized government in yemen is calling it 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 services 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 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 coalition in their war against the who sees. the the government says the separatist 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 premature

decision that doesn't. support in other areas of yemen it's basically. in other places so basically we are playing with fire at the moment and not. going back to. the southern transitional council says it continues to support the unilateral cease fire the cleric 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. dorsett jabari al jazeera. meanwhile an island off yemen's coast is among a number of southern provinces that have rejected the s.t.c. self governance the government and so katra has instead pledged allegiance to president months or hadi but his source inside the internationally recognized government has told al jazeera the u.a.e.

is bribing army officers to carry out a coup against the local authority the u.a.e. deployed its troops to the quarter 2 years ago and their presence on the island has fueled protests in the past. now israel supreme court says the government must pos legislation within weeks to continue with a controversial surveillance program which tracks a person's location by their mobile phone prime minister benjamin netanyahu gave security agencies the power to track them about data of anyone suspected of having the coronavirus the supremes court says the measure is a breach of people's privacy meanwhile in a straight more than a 1000000 people have chosen to download a mobile phone tracing out there it was launched on sunday the software uses bluetooth technology to connect with other phones so users can be traced and contacted if they're exposed to covert 19 well for more on this let's speak to david vaile he's a cyber experts at the university of new south wales and he joins us on skype from

sydney david the government says that 1000000 people signed up for this in the 1st 4 and a whole 4 hours of the launch despite privacy concerns so does this mean the public is on board. well both put a lot of effort into marketing and promotion and certainly they tried to make it feel like a national obligation to do this and look at it maybe when we get to the bottom of it that it may be useful and safe to to use our concern really is that they've left out a lot of the information if you're looking for informed consent so to speak you need to know not only what we'd like it to do and promises that will do the right thing but also one of the limitations what are the risks those sorts of things and unfortunately that sort of information which would include design specifications the software source code the technical protocols and

a privacy impact assessment that involved why a consultation with everybody likely to be affected those sorts of things have not been released now and you know in that sense it's very disappointing and david i understand the app to actually work effectively you need something like 40 percent of the population to sign up to it is that likely here. well look i don't know where that figure of 40 percent comes from no nipping me ologist it may well be the case and like so much of this. you know the details surrounding the we don't know where that came from. or on the one hand we look at singapore when they used the precursor of this ep unfortunately didn't protect them from an outcry that's now occurred i think barely got about 17 percent of up hate. in other areas the suggestion that you might need even higher than the 40 percent that they're talking to i think the more that they operate in

a way that inspires trust and confidence the more likely people are to take it up now and the problem is that at the moment by not providing the critical information they're not so much working on an informed consent model but on a sort of a nudge model or persuasion of you know come on everybody let's do a very nice empathizing that goes with that but and certainly a lot of people will respond to that the jury's still out about whether the act itself is. sort of safe or as useful as they propose and so you know for someone seeking to make an informed judgment that left us in the dark of it well as you say the administration is not currently mandatory but i see that scott morrison has actually ruled that out and they're promising that all the data gathered will be denise said at the end of the pandemic that i know the government there doesn't have the best track record when it comes to protecting privacy is there the trust for this to act now. well look i think you'd have to say an astrolabe it's been

a remarkable degree of trust for the population to comply with and willingly go along and take a lot of the suffering and deprivation that's come from the lock down so in a sense that there's a bias of trust there in the public health authorities and it has actually been remarkably successful in australia as it has in new zealand in. the blocking that the spread of the virus when it gets to the questions about. whether this is voluntary or not. but if they have gone a long way you know in the last week to saying it's absolutely not and there are proposals for a law that whenever parliament sort of sits again which could be will sometime soon that they will legislate in ways that do protect it and that ensure that it's mandatory. the fact that so many of the entity is involved with this paid

a week ago to float the prospect that if we didn't do the right thing if we didn't get the right answer that it would be made mandatory that really set the cat among the peta i think it it reminded people for instance of the other big i think fiasco that was created by the digital transformation authority that's behind this software namely the my health record in that case and initially was voluntary until nobody signed up and then they just do it now i don't think that's the case here because you know they really do need to continue the trust and they do in a while a very cooperation but by human writing that in the 1st place it it raised a case for people of all my health record and lots of other things in australia where they really have given us cause for concern and it's something we'll continue to watch very closely indeed david vaile there aside the no expert at the university of new south wales thank you for joining us and outta there. now staff
