al-jazeera. this is al-jazeera. i'm adrian figure this is the news hour live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes banks under attack in lebanon troops patrol the 2nd largest city to stop more protests against the financial crisis. a moment of silence in britain to remember health workers who've died after contracting covert 19 used to just take say the number of dead is much higher than the government is reporting. from some

veils plans to pull up the anchor on its lockdown we talked to fishermen who've been struggling with the restrictions. nicholas hoult indycar senegal find out next why this country with a small health budget has the biggest the weight of recovery in infected patients in africa. the french football league is canceled as the government bans large events until september and japan's top talked to says the spying to take you live takes is still in doubt for next year unless a vaccine can be found. soldiers are patrolling the streets of lebanon's 2nd biggest city where there's been a 2nd day of violent protests against the deepening financial crisis the security forces in tripoli 5 tear gas and rubber bullets to clear demonstrators who vandalized banks and set fire to cash machines. at least one man died as thousands

of protesters to fight a coronavirus looked on monday let's go live now to tripoli al jazeera said huldah . what's the situation then i was on. a cautious call no the army is out in force some reinforcements have been sent to the city there are still misses in some neighborhoods where anti-government protesters are throwing rocks our army soldiers army soldiers have been responding with tear gas rubber bullets. they are a lot of the the streets in tripoli it's known as the back street that like you mentioned earlier banks were set ablaze they were found the lies as well as cash machines people really venting their anger on the banks for a number of reasons about 7 posting for capital control people cannot access their savings and if they have a foreign currency account the banks are only dispersing the local currency which

has lost 60 percent of its value so people really are suffering from a haircut to their money and the fine say that this has lost value as a as well as the lebanese found itself trading on the black market at 4000 liras against the dollar that's a loss of some 60 percent and then you have inflation more than 50 percent to an increase in the prices of of basic goods so people here are losing patience with the authorities not just the banking sector but they're also blaming the political class for years of mismanagement years of corruption and now the state is close to bankruptcy so the situation is quite tense you speak to people here they say ok the army may have cleared the street so for now but we're just going to come back and if we don't come back 3 hours we will come back tomorrow this is not going to end until our economic. hardships and one of these protests happening in tripoli in the

north of beirut. well in beirut there have been protests in recent days but those protests didn't turn violent at least in the past week if you remember a few months ago we did see violence. at the center of the lebanese capital this protest movement against the ruling elite is not yet started in october but tripoli because this is such an impoverished city it's the 2nd largest city. limits say some 800000 people live here at least half of them do not have jobs and when they do have jobs they earned so when the authorities had to impose a lockdown that's a trying to spread a coronavirus people were stuck in their homes and they couldn't make ends meet and

not only that you're so high unemployment poverty so this this city really feels like looked at by the authorities and of course there are political reasons behind the anger towards the authorities because many people here feel this is a majority sunni city and this is a country where the system of government is shared between different sects they feel that their sect has been stripped from their constitutional powers so a recipe for more and more violence in the days and weeks to come. as the government responding to people's criticisms. well the government was formed chattering they call themselves an independent technocrat government but in reality they were appointed by the same political party but in power for years the government the prime minister if you ask people he says the right things he says he wants to fight corruption he wants to hold politicians to account but how can the. when they were appointed by political

parties who control the security forces they keep talking about interacting laws to fight corruption and nothing has been done concerning those billions of dollars the prime minister himself said billions of dollars were transferred outside of the country earlier this this year and they haven't been able to bring that money back this country's leader of hard currency so people feel that this new government is just really a puppet that is on the table to deal with a crisis that they're blaming on the political and ruling elite and the government has still not presented an economic run to rescue lebanon and they're talking about thursday they're saying on thursday they might present that plan but so far it doesn't look like they can solve the worst economic and financial crisis this country has been experiencing in decades. al-jazeera live there from tripoli in lebanon for the moment said to many thanks indeed as we reported lebanon's economy

has been in freefall for months with jobs in short supply and the government struggling with a massive debts over the past week the currency has fallen rapidly forcing the central bank to set the selling price of dollars at $3200.00 lebanese pounds for money transfer funds the governments in talks with the international monetary fund . for a bailout the 5 year plan aims to boost growth to 2 percent by 2024 but requires $10.00 to $15000000000.00 the money is desperately needed with the i.m.f. forecasting lebanon's economy shrinking by 12 percent this year patrick madine is a call an economist and president of the lebanese institute for market studies he explains the roots of the crisis and why reform has proven so difficult. the lebanese government have been borrowing depositors money from the banking system for years and years now the total amount of the posts in lebanon are in dollars dollars the posits are like $114000000000.00 and the lebanese government borrowed

most of it right around like $90000000000.00 they spent it in the past on different projects on government expenditure infrastructure projects and today they don't have the money to pay the depositors back so the depositors' are running to the bank they said ok i want my money i want my dollars now however this dollar is not available because the government have spent it in the past and the cut the direct consequence of that is that the central bank and the banks are telling those the procedures we can supply you are money in lebanese pound which has been actually increasing the money supply eliminates pound and the creating the inflation you've been talking about and the short devaluation of the lebanese pound on the black market most long holders are domestic lebanese banks including the central bank hold at around 80 percent of the libyan is that only 20 percent is held by international investors so when the government decided to default on that they

mostly defaulted on the lebanese banking system right so those banks now they will lose around 62 percent of their holdings either directly because they bought government bonds or in directly because they subscribe to some c.d.'s issued by the central bank and then the central bank used this money to buy government bonds so in both cases the benny's banks are the main loser from this haircut on bondholders and that's why their clients now are paying the bill leben on a 1st of all needs a lot of free forum and we've been trying to do reforms in the past years in the past 345 years and it was not working right it was not working because of internal dynamics because you would need. to do some very unpopular reforms like cutting the wage bill you know. you would need to cut spending massively you would need to do some privatization some devaluation of the. and all those forms are very unpopular

and you would need somebody to impose them on you that's the only way you actually do the right thing and that's where the i.m.f. come in and the i.m.f. does not only imposes those reforms that should be done actually they don't only impose them on you they would also give you some money with them which would be a great a great thing for lebanon because we really lack capital inflows that's actually the main problem here. extensive coverage of the coronavirus pandemic still to come here on the newsroom including the news hour story including spain's unemployment rate jumping to 14 percent as the government there proposes a plan to ease restrictions. growing your own how lockdowns are inspiring people to become more self-sufficient. and support to go out on a saved his team from delegation but not exactly on the way he planned.

at deaths in hospitals the owen s number looks at the much wider picture of deaths in the community in care homes and in hospitals the figures released today make that picture look even worse they go back to april the 17th is an 11 day lag time on this at which point the ins records 21284 deaths from coded 19 at that same time the official figure was 13117 that is a difference of 52 percent it puts britain firmly ahead of france and spain in terms of the severity of their epidemics not yet though ahead of italy and there is a particularly stark picture emerging in these numbers out of the care home sector in this country housing of course some of the most vulnerable elderly people in society in the care homes the onus records a tripling of the death toll in just the last 2 weeks for a running total of around $5500.00 deaths those also course not included in the

official toll with care home bosses warning that it is the care home sector that now forms the front line of the battle against covert 19 the peak in care homes they say has not been reached at all gives the lie to boris johnson suggestion on monday that this country is in the process of turning the tide it certainly isn't in care homes. to help reporting live from london joe many thanks indeed living under lockdown is inspiring many of us to try growing fruit and vegetables in our backyards in the u.k. demand for seeds is soaring charlie as reports from the southeast of england in the latest of our series report on how the pandemic is affecting farming and food security. watering her crops hilary pav it has repurposed her garden to grow vegetables to help eventually feed herself and her family during the coronavirus crisis she's one of millions of britons now sowing seeds to try and

america have said will inform their decision that data is now going back up again and so it puts her and her government in a real quandary they realize the economic difficulties which would be eased by easing restrictions but they also know that the relevant bodies are saying that with the rate of reproduction of the virus going up it means that a 2nd wave of coronavirus is very possible. spain's prime minister is expected to present a plan for restrictions to be further east that children were allowed outside to play for the 1st time in 5 weeks this week despite the nationwide lockdown people have been hit hard with 23000 deaths and close to a quarter of a 1000000 infections. in madrid says that restrictions will be eased gradually. spain has lost half a 1000000 jobs during this period of time and so the news the necessity of

strict coronavirus lockdown as number of the number of deaths slow the prime minister is proposing a gradual exit strategy which will allow businesses to open and people to work. france's prime minister edward felipe says the lockdown has helped to save $62000.00 lives this month alone but keeping it in place could lead to economic collapse plans to ease the 6 weeks locked out in france are being unveiled in the national assembly politicians are trying to weigh growing frustration from the millions stuck at home against the risk of a 2nd wave of infections the number of new daily cases has fallen after this 165000 infections who thought the good life we feel that a prolonged halt to production and entire sections of our economy a lasting disruption to the schooling of a large number of children the interruption of public or private investment the prolonged closure of borders the extreme restriction of the freedom to come and go

to meet to visit relatives or parents would present the country not only with the painful disadvantage of confinement but in fact with the much more terrible risk of collapse. let's go live now to our desires and who joins us from all the land in southwestern france so the prime minister said the government's de confinement plan could be described as freedom but with some exceptions tell us more. our story that was the lead the french foreign minister said that this was all about giving french people a certain amount of freedom back but of course with restrictions now the freedom is because the number of current virus cases and thanks to ins has been going down as has number of deaths so far also wants to look at loosening it's not down but of course the needs to keep a set amount of prescriptions in place and want to sculp a 2nd wave of corona virus infections that what the french prime minister is

promising is from maybe 11 which is the date that has been set for this loosening of this knock down. crunch people will now be able to go after the house without a permit they'll be able to move around much further than the one film it's an image that they currently have but they'll be mr jones one of the areas of life so for example that each region will have to choose whether or not they can open up schools businesses whether or not people go back to work that would really be left to different regions so that means regional heads that means mez that means directors of schools and the reason being the government says is what we need is a they used in progressive not done the grady takes into account the fact that some regions have had grey hindsight generates and other regions have had no infection rates and what the government wants to do is make sure that those infection rates in some of the regions where they've been very no don't suddenly soar because people are moving around the country so they'll still be a lot of restrictions in place such as working from home transportation will still

be very limited are and as i said a really progressive say used in knock down loosening of the lockdown that will present. that's what the prime minister the french prime minister is saying now of course people around for all have been watching this very closely because they have been in lockdown for some 6 weeks now they have another 2 weeks to go and we visited some fishermen and fish women in the northern ports at beloit and also in the southwestern part of oil to see how they've been living the call 6 weeks. early morning in france's biggest fishing port billowing silk male fishermen returned to dock to unload their catch when they look down began 6 weeks ago the city's wholesale market closed prices plunged and fishing stopped to survive financially the fisherman had to come up with a plan by the prices at the auction hall were. really low. and the

fisherman decided actually not to go out sheep station and now it is better. we're not in critical mode anymore we're not in survival mode anymore thanks to a new organization that was set up also if issues and fishermen reduce the number of boats allowed to operate to control supplies and protect prices some fishermen though haven't returned to work because of the health risks social distancing on board is impossible to show man says we don't want to go fishing because we are too close to try that when we go fishing so they decide to not believing the hard work and stay at home but the part of the fisherman says ok we are going to have a good bust and also to to try and find a solution for all this is small scale fishing is in financial turmoil too in the south west and poor many of the boats a family owned and operated the coronavirus crisis has also had an impact on fisherman and women here in the port of why all they've had to adapt to the

situation and come up with creative new ways to keep that business is afloat off to the lock down flaws but are now hard to find a way to sell her fish with a market shot she decided to sell her catch directly to local customers and fishmongers now she fishes in the morning and in the often new delivers his sea bass and souls by fan he said. this crisis has shown us that if you rely on one system of distribution it's a catastrophe there's no doubt we need a royals wholesale market for its infrastructure fridges ice but we've learnt that we also need our own local fishmongers and customers workers in the countries fishing industry hope that the situation improves all through the french government loosens a smoke down from a levels and once restaurant school canteens and shops are permitted to reopen the financial recovery is likely to be slow in the short term but then least it's on the horizon. but tash of the prime minister seem to leave the government quite

a margin for maneuver in many areas what's the strategy here. yes the prime minister says if i made the 7 so just a few days before this made the 11th date when the government will loosen its lock down is it by may just sevens we feel that the risk is too high to loosen the lock down then we won't do it's and also the prime minister is giving so much power to the regions to really decide on how much they want you cannot they region and i think what the government to doing is just being incredibly cautious because what they don't want is a 2nd wave of infections to come and of course people in france just feel though in some way the government misjudged the situation out of there is a touch about reporting live from other broadly in southwestern france i do love the sound of rain are probably thanks to tasha. pierre haski is a journalist based in paris and also the president of reporters without borders he

joins us now live via skype good to having you with us. here what do you make of the prime minister's plan. i think it was a mix of good news and bad news the good news is obviously that there is a prospect of ending or loosening the lockdown on may the 11th the bad news is as the prime minister said we will have to learn to live with the virus as long as there is no treatment or vaccine and that will be several months or if not years ahead so 'd the prospect of having this new life where we have limited freedom where our cultural life sports life social life will be limited were working will be subjected to many adjustments and limitations this is a very green prospect for many people maybe thought a bit too too quickly that 11th would be a return to the world before what about this proposal to split the country into red

and green zones. yes that's been the demand from people who live in regions where there has been very little infection and we have 2 hot spots in the country the east where it all started and the paris region which is the most populated area and more densely populated area the rest of the country has actually very limited or low rates of infection then they consider that being locked down in the same way as those who have very high rates was a bit unfair and so there will be this different situation where between the regions where things will be more loose and more possible and the regions where it won't be so fast the price to pay for that difference is that we will not be able to travel within the country the limitation is 100 kilometers without the serious reason to go beyond so that means our jail has been enlarged in the way we we were

limited to one kilometer though it's going to be 100 kilometers but i think it's still a sense of relief obviously there's a lot of anxiety there has been a lot of anxiety in the country about the state of the economy people's finances whether they will have a job after all of this the government's trying to tread a pretty fine. fine edge here in general do you think people are happy with what the government is doing they think it's getting it right. well people have been very 'd angry with the government in the 1st few weeks of the pandemic because they felt there was a lack of preparation or lack of anticipation that there were no masks no p.p. for the medical staff and so that anger. prevailed and you know now and that's why the prime minister has been very cautious in his announcements because he knows it's the credibility of the government is at stake they cannot go

wrong in this loosening of the logged on because if anything goes wrong if we have to go back to confinement after several days or several weeks their credibility of the government will be ruined and it will be very hard to go back to normal life the economy's obviously the key factor the prime minister had very greenman somber words he said we received collapse of the national economy if we grew or we went on longer with the consignment so there is a balance to be to be reached between the economy and public health and that so i think is a summary of the world wide situations but here at the moment this is the key moment for a for this situation really gets to appear in it many thanks indeed to hear housekeeper live in paris. now to the us where the number of confirmed coronavirus cases is fast approaching a 1000000 president ronald trump is promising to expand testing some states begin

easing the lockdown restrictions florida's governor is in washington to meet with the president right now let's go live to our white house correspondent kimberly how could they felt we were due to get a press briefing a live one after that meeting between the president and florida's governor what was that meeting about kimberly and why hasn't that live press conference happen. well there's some confusion over whether it was a press conference or tape played back we have a new press secretary here at the white house she may not have understood the lingo fully when it comes to a press conference and what that means to you and i what we're hearing now is this really is more of an oval office meeting that we're custom to and we expect that there will be tape playback of it very shortly that meeting now underway between the u.s. president to and republican governor rhonda census of florida why is this significant well this is a major state in the united states it contributes significantly to the u.s.

economy this is a major tourism spot and it is set to have its stay at home orders expire on thursday so this being tuesday there is a lot of eagerness about how that will happen and what it will look like and also it appears that there may be a bit of an attempt on the part of this governor to get a blessing from this republican president and why would that be important well because another republican governor didn't follow the orders are the guidelines of this white house and paid dearly for it in terms of a very strong public rebuke that coming to the governor of georgia late last week when he ignored the federal guidelines that are in place that you should have a reduction of coronavirus cases for 14 days before to reopening and that resulted in the president strongly criticizing that decision still he pressed ahead but it appears this governor looking for something a little more slow little more methodical so we're watching for that very carefully
