we understand the differences and similarities in cultures across the world so no matter what. the news encounter for that matter. fighting talk from britain's prime minister as he returns to work after his personal battle with coronavirus. this is the moment when we have begun to get to wrestle it to the floor. about this and this is all just 0 life from doha also coming up tourist hot spots that have been lifeless for weeks now italy is days away from loosening restrictions. out of tune

wire song china's dedicating to the fight against covert 19 is being condemned as insulting. desperate but defiant bangladeshi workers breach a lockdown orders for much needed wages. britain's prime minister's return to work vowing to lead from the front in the fight against corona virus boris johnson was diagnosed with a virus a month ago and spent 3 days in intensive care in his 1st speech since leaving hospital he says the u.k. starting to turn the tide in tackling the outbreak johnson's plagued his government will outline plans for easing restrictions but warns of the risk of a 2nd wave if these virus were a physical assailant an unexpected and invisible mug. which i can tell you

proposal experience it is then this is the moment when we have begun together to wrestle it to the floor i know it is tough and i want to get this economy moving as fast as i can but i refuse to throw away all the effort and the sacrifice of the british people and to risk a 2nd major outbreak and huge loss of life and be overwhelming of the n.h.s. or the prime minister made no mention of the various criticisms of him and his government to recap medic next across the country supplies of personal protective equipment or p.p. have been insufficient the target of $100000.00 tests per day has not been met britain actually tested fewer than 29000 people in the past day that's concerned the death toll is likely to be far higher government numbers refer only to hospital deaths but do not include deaths in the community and care homes coronavirus has

now claimed more than 20700 lives in u.k. hospitals with more than 152000 confirmed cases well jonah hell is joining us live from westminster in central london the tone of the speech for the prime minister was certainly like a rallying call but what was he actually saying. yeah in an attempt at reassurance an attempt to talk up the positive progress that's been made thus far not easy of course to highlight the positives in circumstances like this rob but clearly an opportunity to show the british public that the prime minister is back at work having been so ill just a fortnight ago back with his hand firmly on the tiller even if he does as you outlined this step into a series of controversies of questions of criticisms of his own leadership of his government's leadership in this crisis perceptions that they reacted too slowly as the death toll soars past 20000 the hospital death toll the real figure could be

far higher of course p.p. east in short supply testing not nearly high enough it isn't close to meeting the government's own targets by the end of this month but he took the opportunity as well to address perhaps the most pressing question that is emerging now this country into its 5th week of lock down restrictions the public beginning to see more and more restless with what's going on and calls coming from all quarters from the opposition from the business community from members of his own government and his own what is own party rather for a plan for an idea a timetable of how this lockdown is lifted when by what means in what sequence and whether the government has a plan at all for that when he took the opportunity as i say to highlight the positive real progress being made the n.h.s. has not been overwhelmed the peak has been reached the curve has been flattened all of those some of the tests that the government laid out for easing the law but he disappointed those who wanted to go further by saying it is not the time to ease

these restrictions the numbers are still too high the testing targets have not reached and the 2nd wave is still a very real risk he basically stood here and said that everybody should contain their impatience there's still a long way to go i journey obviously you're outlining a lot of the criticism that was aimed at boris johnson's government but some of that is aimed at him personally isn't there. yes in his absence during his illness and convalescence a lot has been made of the way that boris johnson handled this crisis in its early stages and that perhaps he wasn't taking things as seriously as he should have done meeting coronavirus patients in march and making a big deal of having shaken their hands he talked about the move to try and acquire more ventilators calling it operation last gospel sort of jokey folksy humor that

has been boris johnson stock in trade but really didn't go down all that well and suggested that perhaps he wasn't a serious about izzie should have been contributing to the slow start that britain made on this crisis i think those calls will continue to be examined and to be made for the moment i'm sure he carries the sympathy of the british public with him they know how close potentially they were to losing their prime minister but it is by no means clear is this proceeds how long that simply will last turn holler for us in westminster john thanks very much indeed. germany's combat in the spread of coronavirus by in making the wearing of mosques compulsory while on public transport free mosques have been made available in cities nationwide for the past week germany has the 4th highest number of confirmed cases in europe fewer than 6000 people have died which is far lower than neighboring countries italy is preparing to emerge from the longest coronavirus lockdown in the west next week people will be allowed to visit relatives and some businesses will reopen it's in

the 2nd highest number of deaths in the world after the us but on sunday the daily toll fell to its lowest level in more than a month prime ministers are separate conti's says people will still need to wear masks and observe social distancing francesco gunboats only has more from milan on how the reopening plan will work. prime minister to the pic on turnout last night how the country will end now and phase 2 of them and then make italy will try to restart the economy without pushing of the infections up again factories and building sites in italy were reopened from may 4th is this was the biggest announcement people will be allowed to leave their houses to go to work and also to visit their family social gatherings are and away still bend and it's not possible to move from region to region sporting activities could be now practice also far

from home but people need to do to do it on their own and have to keep the distance from each other parks will reopen but it won't be possible to meet their shops museums and libraries can reopen from may 18th so if the new wave of cases will be allowed will be avoided other businesses will follow restaurants bars and headdresses will open from. june 1st qantas said that the reopening is allowed on condition that all companies involved strict the respect new security protocols in the workplace wearing protective masks become mandatory in or enclosed spaces anyway schools will remain shut until september and this will gave families childcare problems for many months to come the white house official coordinating

the country's response to the coronavirus outbreak says social distancing may be necessary right through the summer ever brooks says the u.s. needs a huge technology breakthrough to expand testing before the country can reopen the state governors remain divided with more beginning to ease restrictions let's go live to our white house correspondent kimberly hauck at for the latest so we are beginning to see some states open is there concern at the white house we might see a 2nd wave of the virus. that concern seems to be less of a priority than the push to reopen the economy and that's where we see in some real confusion in messaging from the coronavirus task force you mentioned dr deborah burke's there and her comments that there will need to be social distancing through to the end of the summer but at least but the vice president mike pence who leads that task force has said that he believes that social distancing will leave behind most americans by the end of may so there is some confusion even as these states

begin to open 90 percent of americans at one point were under state home orders but now we see over the weekend states like georgia south carolina oklahoma alaska all opening up beauty salons bowling alleys tattoo parlors and we've seen in states like colorado where they are today opening up the curbside retail now we should point out that there were at least 8 states that never had mandatory state home orders but this is left the public kind of confused and left sorting out some of the messaging for themselves given the fact that not only is there conflicting message at the federal level from the current virus task force but now you have individual governors almost like a patchwork quilt around the united states issuing different guidelines for reopening at different times. we've seen lots of treats and press briefings from president over the last couple of months with regard to the coronavirus tosk force that he has but apparently you know seems to be angry at the

media big for suggesting that he might not be attending the briefings anymore which is story behind that. yes is one of the reasons the president is mad we watched him over twitter venting those frustrations at the media saturday and sunday and into today the president just tweeting now fake news enemy of the people the president seems to be unhappy since thursday when he got a lot of negative coverage for the suggestion that you shine a u.v. light or even disinfectant injected into the human body is a way of eradicating coronavirus well since then the u.s. president has been lashing out at the media his poll numbers are sinking and that has left the white house kind of doing some soul searching over messaging moving forward whether or not the president is still affective when it comes to the public health information or whether they should focus on him in terms of the economic crisis and so that's left an open question about when we will see the president

today he is meeting with industry leaders at 20 g.m.t. we're watching that carefully to see if that becomes something where the president will open up and give some sort of public comment or whether he will appear at the 21 g.m.t. crowd of virus task force briefing it's really unclear at this point but what we can tell you is that the white house is pretty convinced that having the president giving public health messages is a bit of a mistake now looking towards pivoting towards having him deal with the economic crisis as we see those unemployment numbers in the united states climbing in some projections as high as 16 percent committed holocaust on white house correspondent bring us up to date their company thanks very much indeed well in libya there has been heavy shelling of residential areas in tripoli by forces loyal to walt. they've been farming on homes in the capital for over a week in retaliation for losing strongholds in western libya mahmud of the world has joining us now for more on this from tripoli just bring us up to date with the
