antiviral drug for emergency use on patients a major study has shown that the drug does appear shortened the recovery time and may have reduced deaths meanwhile in spain more than a month under. lockdown people are being allowed to exercise and overruns outside we'll have more on the relaxing of restrictions there in a minute about 1st forms larry on the round up in milly's. hundreds of migrants and refugees including children rounded up in a raid in kuala lumpur on friday they're being held in detention facilities migrant rights group. has criticized the raid as inhumane and counterproductive arguing it won't deter migrant and refugee communities from getting tested at a time when the world is still struggling to contain the pandemic but the government is defending it as part of efforts to contain the coronavirus state this week there are still on documented migrants their status remains the same the laws

of this country haven't changed these people broke the law or when they entered the country illegally in recent weeks foreigners have been the target of hate speech with some malaysians blaming them for spreading the coronavirus hostility towards the rangar and undocumented migrants appear to have been set off by several events this suburb outside kuala lumpur home to a large population. was placed under lockdown more than a week ago to cope transmission of cases there are social media posts telling the room they're not wanted here there were at least 5 online petitions some of which have since been taken down urging the government to expel the refugees from malaysia malaysians have also directed their anger at the ethnic minority after rights groups criticised the government for turning away a boatload of refugees last month. for nor john been to much and her family these

are worrying times they escaped from scituate in brookline state in myanmar in 2012 after intercommunal riots between buddhists and muslims killed 200 people and displaced more than 100000 others. life here hasn't been easy malaysia has not formally recognised refugees they can't work legally or go to school she says she's heard rumors about the malaysian government wanting to send the route back it is there it made me think back to our journey here we were at sea then human traffickers picked us up and they kept my husband for months because we couldn't pay it was only after 8 months here when we were finally registered with the un as refugees that i felt safe what if we have to go through that again. the coronavirus and malaysia's curbs on movement has already put north john's family in dire financial straits now the fear of being detained hangs over that florence italy

out jazeera quality report. well it's himself from phil robertson who's the deputy asia director at human rights watch and he says that malaysian authorities are risking the health of the people that they've arrested. the authorities are claiming that these people are undocumented that they don't have the right to be in malaysia. the problem is of course that by hurting them into unsanitary immigration detention centers it's a great way to ensure they all end up with a covert 19 from a public health perspective this is probably the most stupid thing that the government of malaysia could do what they've done is send a signal to migrant workers and others you know which number in the millions and malaysia that if you see from someone coming from the ministry of health run the other way and what we're going to see is a lack of cooperation from the migrant communities for any efforts by the government to try to can control coven 1000 because they correctly fear they will be arrested and hauled off into camps where they may spend months in even years

before they're allowed to go home there's very little recourse for those who have been taken right now i think that they're going to basically stay in these immigration detention centers where we have seen outbreaks of infectious disease in the past and deaths of migrants from things that were certainly preventable. so to that experimental antiviral drug which has been approved for emergency use treating coronavirus patients in the united states $1500000.00 of the drug gram does if it will be distributed to hospitals from monday after a study showed improvements in recovery time that's enough from particle high. this is a president that throughout has tried to project a feeling of hope as the coronavirus rips through the world and his country is now bringing in the c.e.o. of a pharmaceutical company to the white house to herald the results of a possible treatment for him to severe really people that are not doing well people that are sick people that have his horrible play that set in to our country and

that we're getting rid of and we're going to be we're going to be having some really incredible results we have. very promising studies coming out on the vaccines we have promising studies coming out on therapeutics. in the 1st widespread trial the drug it did shorten the length of the hospitalizations days for the virus and it's slightly decreased the mortality rate but scientists say it's the 1st real hope that a drug can work against the virus we have to remember this is the very 1st one it's a new drug being used for this and yet showed i would call it a bright spot in the search just what 90 days after being notified of this of a drug it looks like it's got very promising results and the company that makes it says it will donate its stockpile which the food and drug administration cleared

for use on friday will be working with the government to determine how best to distribute that over the united states will be working very closely to get that to patients working with female working with other parts of the government to make sure that we get fed to the patients in need as quickly as possible because there are patients out there that can benefit from this medicine today that are hospitalized and we don't want any time to waste for that the white house trying to project a sense of hope of a near return to normal for the country but as some states begin to reopen like georgia for bodie numbers an additional $1000.00 cases diagnosed in a single day and experts say it will take as many as 2 weeks to determine the true cost as cities and towns begin to reopen pedicle hain al-jazeera chris smith is a consultant for only just an editor of the naked selling his podcast and he explains now how the drug. this is an antiviral drug it was developed during the

a boner period about 5 or 6 years ago and unfortunately for gilliatt who invented it it didn't work very well against a boa but what does look more promising is its action against this new coronavirus the way it works is that the drug molecule looks like one of the building blocks of the genetic information of the virus so when you take the drug it goes into the cells and gets activated in the cell and then when the virus is trying to grow in one of your cells it mistakes this drug molecule for one of the normal genetic letters that it would be inserting into its genome that it's copying to make new baby viruses and when the drug molecule goes into the d.n.a. or r.n.a. of a growing virus it distorts it and disrupts it and stops it growing so as a result you end up with a virus with a broken genome and so it's a bit like a computer with the operating system corrupted it won't boot up so the virus is you make a completely defunct and when given 2 cells in

a dish which are infected with the virus it slows down the growth of the virus when given to patients with the virus it makes them recover a bit quicker and it also slightly improves the mortality rate when you give it to people who are severely on whether by slightly i mean in people who were not given the drug the mortality rates about 11 percent and in people who work in the drug it was about 8 percent. well troels a set to begin in the u.k. to see if blood plasma from the recovered coronavirus patients can be used to treat others with covert 19 let's explore this more we can go to across one who is in london. across the world an enormous focus is taking place on finding solutions and now we have these plasma trails beginning in the united kingdom. yeah that's absolutely right and st thomas his hospital behind me is playing a pivotal role in britain's battle against corona virus is of course where the prime minister was treated and now is one of several hospitals across the united

kingdom trialing whether or not the blood plasma of people who have had the corona virus recovered can be used to treat people with the virus the science is pretty simple if you have how the virus you develop immunity which means you build empty bodies those antibodies can be found in the liquid form of the blood the plasma which can then be injected into people with the virus to kick start their immune system that's theoretically or doctors are hoping to see very soon but it is to some extent slow progress clearly because they need to find people who have had the virus recovered and have built often not enough antibodies for their classmate to be useful that period roughly takes around among say the doctors there are $1500.00 hospitals in the united states that are carrying out similar trials and there are other similar schemes taking place in other parts of europe as well the hope here in the u.k. that by the end of may there will be able to roughly around 10000 units of useful

blood plasma a week ready to help cure those people who are suffering from the virus they're hoping to see some positive results pretty soon and the government yesterday announcing that it's met its testing target of 100000 this day and is now planning to ramp up isn't it it's testing contact tracing efforts with the latest on that. yeah it's very much a phased approach by the british government they set the target of $100000.00 tests a day in the beginning of april they announced on friday that they'd smash that target with a figure of around 122000 but some doctors some experts have sounded the alarm accusing the government of inflating these figures saying that roughly a 3rd of that number were test simply posted through people's letter boxes of boxes or sent directly to care homes or what the scientists the doctors really want is a comprehensive way of doing this so combining tests with also tracing and tracking

which is informing the government next step which is to try and recruit around 818000 officials some of them health workers to identify clusters identify people that may be at risk to tell people risk of spreading the virus to quarantine for a period of 2 weeks to make sure that the transmission of the virus within the population is kept to an absolute minimum when the government starts to see a steady decline in infection rates and most certainly a decline in the death toll then they may start we visiting the idea of easing restrictions but the government right now does not want to put a foot wrong the death toll is rising it's approaching. death toll it's really the worst affected country in europe there are fears that the u.k. could soon overtake italy we won't know until thursday when the government is legally bound to revisit the restrictions how and when it might try to do that have

been some ideas booted including possibly making face masks compulsory although that seems to be more confidence building measure rather than for health grounds but in terms of a time frame that seems to be some way off or in a thanks very much so there's a picture in london the. for the most ahead on the news hour including life on the lockdown in libya we look at the impact it's having on african migrants. we meet some of the indonesian delivery drivers putting themselves at risk in the hope of a better future. for coming up as well italy's a top football clubs look to be on a collision course with their own government and they will tell us all on that story. right spain plans to launch a $17000000000.00 reconstruction fund to deal with the economic damage caused by the pandemic the country is one of the hardest hit in the world but it's seen the

number of infections and deaths decrease and that is why it's begun to ease restrictions in phases after 7 weeks of strict lockdown there's a let's hear. their 1st taste of freedom in $49.00 days that's 1176 hours of lockdown spent mostly indoors. i've been up since 5 30 am waiting for it to be sick so i could go out runners cyclists rollerbladers taking to the footpaths across spain which for weeks had been off limits except for those out to buy food and medicine. i was rollerblading with open arms through the streets because they went to me cause it was a feeling of freedom. going for a walk and playing sport have been bent to stop the corona virus spreading in spain which is one of the worst affected countries in europe they've been more than 25000 deaths and 216000 cases but the outbreak here is

finally past its peak that it's very great to go out to run today and i'm think i'm like. you know i get with everybody out like this i'm very happy about it and i think that people are quite respectful and. i think they're very happy. last weekend children under 14 were allowed out for an hour a day of supervised activity now adults and senior citizens can also go out and say print times in a bid to reduce overcrowding. though it didn't work everywhere with thousands out along. even when i'm in there for me personally it's incredible that i can finally go out after so long it just seems a bit strange to me that there are these time ships because in the end there are so many people out at the same time in the same place beaches though remain closed and

crowds exercised under the watchful eyes of police. prime minister pedro sanchez tweeted that allowing outdoor exercise was a new step and measures to ease the confinement but called for people to be responsible because the virus is still here the world health organization says countries should lift their lock downs gradually and be ready to restore restrictions if infections rise there are tough days still ahead for spain the lockdown has hammered its already faltering economy and unemployment is expected to soar. on this saturday though people enjoyed the simple pleasures of being outdoors on a sunny spring day. and let's go live to marty who's standing by for us in madrid in a martyr while all this is been going on the prime minister's been speaking what he had to say well in 1st place of prime minister that his

sons have was very pleased he had the chance to give this small relief to all the spaniards allowing them to go out for one hour walk for one hour of exercise all ages wear out today in the streets and in 2nd place he announced a 16000000000 euros fund for recovery for all the regions he also said that from monday. face and face mass will be mandatory the use of a face mask will be mandatory in the public transport now we are in face you know when we're doing it starting these deescalation plan you know last week we're preparing to go to phase one towards the new normal or and so what follows on after that after phase one there's this kind of modulated deescalation isn't. well the next area is facing a phase one it would start in may the 11th where it was small then businesses will

reopen to the limit of 30 percent of their capacity and bars and restaurants with terrorists will be able to open to 30 percent of the capacity to we will phase then 15 days later if everything is a cave monitoring the number of infections and the state of ohio where the health care system 15 days later later we will go to face to where bars restaurants theaters will be open to 50 percent of the capacity and 15 days later we will go to face 3 well all big smalls meal big big most put open at the 50 percent of the capacity all these has to be done under the umbrella of the state of of a marriage and see look down this is state of emergency made to see has been extended from 15 days to 15 days through the spanish congress with the voting of all the political parties but what's the challenge that heather sunset is facing next week he will percent the next lock down stage extension but he's facing plenty

of problems as many critics say has. prompted huge criticism among other political parties saying they won't support him any more with any other lockdown extension because they're not happy of how he's managing this crisis that small to spain begins easier. freezes thanks very much motor seeable will start easing restrictions in 10 days after being on the report known for 2 months so let the businesses will start operating again and small groups of students will be allowed to return to school the health ministry says the rules are being relaxed gradually to avoid a new spike of infections and singapore has reported more than $17000.00 cases and most are said to be foreign workers living in crowded accommodation. well the outbreak of cave in 19 has forced countries around the world to reassess what it means to be an essential worker drivers who are delivering food one group at a high risk of being exposed to the virus many in indonesia are unable to practice

social distancing and that leaves them fearful for their safety just to washington reports now from jakarta. before he starts work friday of a good sin joins his mornings with his sons these days the time is short lived it's not long before he receives his 1st grocery order as more people stay at home to cover the spread of the virus grocery delivery services option the message from doctors is to stay at home and avoid interacting with people but that's not possible for delivery riders like him to get it out but i'm worried about the virus but what choice do i have i have to feed my family all i can do is hope i don't get infected. he's one of the millions delivering all over india nation's capital despite having more orders since the outbreak escalated he has less income. so you know i need the money we know so that to take passengers anymore so i can

only do grocery and food deliveries for food workers in indonesia and globally it's a similar sentiment. i'm scared of the going to fight us of course but my income comes from sales so i have no other option. i keep my distance from his customers and i clean my products but if i don't keep working how can i live. they regarded worldwide as essential workers but on low paid and can't afford to stop working even if they wanted to. physical distancing is only an option for those who can afford it and most in the period industry cannot this work force is essential in all countries year round but now they are at the forefront of a global crisis and their work comes with increased risk. simple tasks such as accepting change or restocking shelves and now an infection threat for.

my company has given us clear instructions we need to wash our hands and wear a mask are trying to be fit washed my hands and i stop going out i don't want to get infected workers like him do what they can to feel safe and around the world millions rely on them to get what they need jessica washington al-jazeera jakarta. in other news north korea's leader kim jong un has made his 1st public appearance in nearly 3 weeks that's according to state media who broadcast images which appeared to show came open a fertilizer factory as broad reports and so speculation had been rife about the leader's health and his whereabouts. was in good spirits and seemingly in good health after disappearing from public view. nearly 3 weeks north korean leader kim jong un reemerged in style to open a fertilizer plant. the pictures on state run television said to be from an event on friday seemed to be north korea's answer to world the growing speculation about

kim's health. online news sites and some news organizations have been quoting sources that said kim was gravely ill even brain dead after a surgical procedure gone wrong. it had led to concerns about a possible power vacuum and instability in the nuclear armed state and focused attention on kim sister kim go joan who attended this event as a possible successor to him. she came to the world's attention as the point person in north korea's charm offensive during the 2018 winter olympics in pyongyang she continued to feature prominently as the smiling facilitator in the subsequent into korean dialogue and in the historic summit meetings with the united states. enable. one.

and he the only. in south korea intelligence officials had urged caution about the health rumors saying they haven't detected any unusual activity the pointed to a serious crisis south korea's unification ministry has condemned what it's called groundless content saying the speculation has caused unnecessary confusion and senior political figures here who don't even suggested that kim might have died off facing strong criticism. opening this large fertilizer plant and not wearing a mask while being cheered by large crowds may also be part of north korea's wider message to the world that it's feeding its people that it doesn't have any cases of the coronavirus and the kim is very much alive and in charge of macbride al jazeera

so. kelly is professor of political science and diplomacy national university in south korea and he says in north korea is more concerned about delivering propaganda to the people they're responding to international speculation about kim's health. maybe genuine health reasons why he sort of disappeared right for example a lot of people think that maybe he was going to grant a boy corona that's one of the more common sort of theories for this last couple weeks that wouldn't surprise me at all corona going to north korea will probably run rampant north korea's medical system so primitive. also north koreans have a long history of sort of not caring paying attention that people on the outside want to know about the leadership you know maybe they're trolling us the north koreans have a long history of saying that they should sort of dissemble that shows of what and you can father came as he said chosen must be a fog to the rest of us out here right and if the rest of us in the wilderness we don't know what's going on or the next time something happens in north korea we just as confused right and so generating confusion and distrust and concern and and bewilderment is sort of part of north korean general strategy so in that sense the

north koreans they just don't care that those of us on the outside are spending 2 weeks argue about whether or not he had a heart attack. all right let's move on to evidence to anybody thanks nick i think we've got some promising weather for africa or actually some rain where we need it and hopefully less rain we don't want you can see is clear and dry across much of southern africa at the moment we've got some bands of cloud skirting fairly close to the southern capers we go through the next couple of days or so we will see some wet weather just sliding in through western cape town will see some rain as we go on into sunday and that will slide further research into the eastern cape as we go into monday elsewhere across much of southern africa it is lousy dry fine and sunny we'll look further north up towards the eastern side of africa we have seen some very heavy rainfall here recently more that as we go through the next 24 hours or so and then i'm hopeful things will improve so in kenya $130.00 millimeters of rainfall here just in the west of the country as we go through the next few hours

humanity i really really not getting anywhere near it. i got you watching i was there among the top stories this hour and police in malaysia have detained more than $700.00 refugees migrant workers they live in areas where covert $1000.00 cases searched last month triggering accusations that foreigners are spreading the virus rights groups say they could be held for months in dangerously cramped conditions. as spain's prime minister has announced

a 17 and a half $1000000000.00 reconstruction fund to help deal with the economic fallout from the pandemic but this comes as the government gains easing restrictions allowing people to exercise outside for the 1st time in 7 weeks. north korean state t.v. has shown video of leader kim jong un in what may be his 1st public appearance in nearly 3 weeks the images are said to be from the opening of a fertilizer factory is fairly to show for a major anniversary has prompted speculation about his health. right digital technologies have proved to be a popular tall for governments across asia to monitor and contain the spread of coronavirus medical authorities say that tracking software has helped slow transmission but critics say it's highlighted the power of government to exploit personal data sarah clarke has this report now from hong kong. when tricia cowen and her family returned to hong kong in april they were put in mandatory quarantine for 14 days they were also required to wear this electronic respond the loaded

authorities if they breached a quarantine regulations and left their apartment. i didn't think about it i just think that this had to be done i mean it's people need to be tracked and now one wants it spread further we all want to be over as quickly as possible so that that just involvement. tracking technology developed in hong kong uses a y. find there put to detect if the user changes location but the company says the only data shared with the government is movement not personal information technology we have a lot of option like phased work in the. speech nation been using this way that alone will be alert when they use the net their home but at the same time their way of. lapse and digital surveillance are being used by many governments in asia to track the spread of the corona virus china uses

a color based q.r. code to monitor people's movements and health in south korea overseas travelers who don't download a government app are refused entry i think is so it's a key part of the term infection control in asia especially using this technology to track down these people who are putting them into quarantine so it is probably one of the most of the reasons why we are doing better. all the possible world but critics say some government mandated apps can also access a user's personal data and be used as a surveillance tool it's a real fear that this data will end up in the hands of governments some of the apps look for people's. access to call records even their contacts and in some cases the camera and other information together can. people's lives 2 of the world's biggest tech giants at google and apple plan to embed new features in their devices using context tracing technology but say the tool will be

removed once the pandemic ends the critics say it could lead to ongoing surveillance with governments using the data for other purposes. technology may be playing a critical role in containing the pen demick but human rights groups warn it might also normalize surveillance in the future once this outbreak is under control. sarah clarke al-jazeera hong kong. well corona virus tracking apps keep a record of where you've been and most will use bluetooth technology and they work well when people are close to each other smartphones talk to nearby devices nell quickly alert a user if they're near a confirmed or suspected case and this can help traditional tracing which involves manually tracking down the contacts who infected people around 30 tracking systems have been devoted around the world for research as say the work best when many people use them. it's an interesting business this one let's take it on his way to limit woods who is a professor of law innovation and society at newcastle university of united kingdom

and she joins us now from edinburgh in scotland via skype miscellany welcome to the program this is this is a privacy minefield is not how worried should we be well it as i keep saying the devil's in the detail we should be worried but there are ways of building leads that are more or less previously sense to preserving for example you said in the introduction that these people i'm mad. at database upgrade being me that isn't actually true they need generation of rats which the play to firms that started a whole thing or and have since taken off the market well they mainly keep a record of what other phones were any use and back can intrinsically be very pretty safe right because it isn't keeping a record of every way you've been for every minute of the day for the foreseeable future so all right well several countries have been countries it seems to me have

different. tracing apps that they what differences in previous e. do you see in the way that they're being put out. well there was kind of a pest generation of rats which did come out of a ship such as the china gather touchy long traffic lights back at the hong kong at which were fairly grossly through the sea in days that will eat a crab justifiable within the culture at that time but were not really acceptable to leave and some asian countries from other places so there's been this 2nd wave of bleaching perhaps we treat again you detect proximity rather than your geo location am look at me but we've been back we're now having our very heated debate about centralized against the centralized apps basically you can keep all the data that's collected on the respective bands of the people involved and that's what the google apple a.p.i.

that's been that's but that evolve that supports and that is very very very this is a very. stark on the other hand will a number of countries notably the u.k. brownson astroland. chosen to go from 0 centralized model where danger is abstract to skate central servers like the n.h.s. and that can be argued to be something they want because they want to collect more data and they want to be able to amend that they can well quickly look at slice but it is less criticizing the tactics so this is where the debate is revolving around what's the best tradeoff and indeed doesn't need to be a trade out because some people in some of the consultant claim that you can get everything you want and still be maximally privacy supportive but it isn't the bottom line that all of this i mean obviously is a very important method of tracing people in this in these difficult times but isn't it the thin end of the wedge in this could the fear is that this could be part become part of permanent surveillances kind of developing mission creep if you

like that will happen afterwards. yeah absolutely and that's the absolute people in their reviews the data sharing of the date and retention of the danger in a great big surveillance pinal for the forseeable activity in the agency so that's why i was emphasizing the need types of ways of building it which has a slightly bigger right supports which don't really collect any data or at least they don't collect much data or any data that is personally identifying and which the state gets to keep so that's why i'm saying that's kind of the privacy gold standard but only other hand governments like the candidate are saying it doesn't give us everything we want but they are beginning brands that are beginning to look like a very isolated minority most of europe has gone for the decentralized approach where much less if any personal data is kept around but yes sorry beyond that there's

still issues about how these apps get used in general so for example is it acceptable to say you can't come to hook unless you've installed the end is it acceptable to say your children can't go to school unless they've got the app and indeed they're carrying in all the time so these kind of issues and sickest no matter what kind of technical tricks and that's what i got worried about when my team drafted a draft legal gun safeguards right lots of difficult questions to be answered the millionaire was we do appreciate the spirit of this thanks very much to me thinking . islands prime minister lee of radhika has announced an extension of strict code 90 measures until maybe 18th he says if the number of new cases continues to drop the government will ease restrictions in 5 stages with the goal of oil and returning to normal by august. we need 2 more weeks of tight restrictions to weaken the virus further so it doesn't have the strength to make

a comeback when we start to interact with each other again unfortunately the risk of a 2nd wave of the virus is ever present so we can only move from one phase to the next if the virus stays under control between each face france has extended its lockdown until july 24th earlier this week the french parliament heard a proposal to begin lifting restrictions but the health minister says that would be premature more than 24000 people in front of died of covert 9000 related deaths since you know brit began. for migrants who have left african countries for libya life was already a struggle before the coronavirus pandemic and now law measures leave many without work as mark word of the wall had reports from tripoli. tired and frustrated these migrants can hardly afford to buy food they weighed by the roadside in the libyan capital for potential employers they've come from other parts of africa to earn

a living by doing a manual work but since the country began its lock down one measures to prevent covert 19 a month ago they say they have hardly any money like ideologically the travel restriction between cities is paralyzing us we cannot find work not only tripoli but also in other libyan cities many of us no hope to travel back home to be reunited with our families nearly 1500 migrants and refugees are kept in detention centers in western libya some are living in dire conditions many of them were intercepted by the libyan coast guard why it's trying to cross the mediterranean to europe human rights organizations are warning that an i would break of the coronavirus among them could be catastrophic the international organization for migration is conducting sanitation campaigns and he's calling on the authorities here to gradually release some of the most of all normal we have

headquarters so what we're seeing is that i saw is now resorting to directly attacking the security forces which is something that we didn't see over the past years what we've seen until now was i so for example planting improvised explosive devices in rural areas or trying to intimidate or terrorize civilians living in remote areas but these attacks on security forces there are a sign that i saw is more emboldened and capable of actually launching these operations now it appears to have happened last night is that the group attacked a checkpoint of the popular mobilization forces killing 6 people in daraa gunfire and a subsequent military operation to respond to that attack 3 additional people were killed in. in addition to that one other member of the popular mobilisation forces was killed so that's that the death toll of 10 what is important to say here is that the one of the 10 people who were killed are members of the so-called tribal

amount of time there is no use and no place for such weapons in canada. the list of prohibited weapons includes hundreds of versions of the a ar 15 assault rifle last used in a mass shooting in canada in 2017 when a gunman killed 6 men in a quebec city mosque such attacks are much rarer here than in the united states canadians are far more accustomed to hearing of mass killings across the border such as the los vegas mass shooting that left 58 people dead in 2017 an assault weapons ban like this is widely supported in canada and polls indicate that's only increased since the events in nova scotia gun rights advocates say it's a politically expedient move that ignores the fact that most gun killings in canada come from illegal handguns smuggled across the u.s. border and not from assault weapons some measures in the new legislation are similar to those in new zealand which banned assault rifles and conducted

a highly successful buyback program in response to the christ church mosque massacre last year canada to offer a 2 year amnesty to existing legal owners of banned weapons and will offer compensation there may also be new laws coming to allow cities to ban handguns which are already tightly regulated gun control advocates of welcome the new measures and say they look forward to further action to make canada a much safer country than your lack of his era toronto. film here in al-jazeera and sports brain manages to stop playing at an indoor. and is here with us. and sacrifices made in the name of this law to provide for her children a woman in thailand must approximate the life they crave and focus this compassion and kindness on how well with alzheimer's patients from the west. travel

while many businesses have had to shut down the zoos have had to keep some stuff to take care of the animals the u.k. government is working on a fund to support its 141 zoos and aquariums which have suffered a financial setback but as charlie rangel reports some say it won't be enough to cover the losses. mungo is the oldest resident of one of the u.k. smallest zoos and territorial animal blissfully unaware of the fragility of his situation cedars nature center is home to 25 different species built for the local community it is a labor of love but not being a charity it's fallen through the cracks when it comes to financial aid from the government with new visitors income has disappeared but the cost of keeping the animals remains the same with no funds to fall back on they are relying on donations if they can't reopen by the summer the future is bleak we've only got

a couple of species here which all the senses would want but we're in exactly the same boat as is plenty of other small species everyone would be in a position where they're trying to offload their animals and find new homes for them apart from our armadillos and as a realist none of the big sensible ones are animals and we'll have no other option but have to be euthanized the more established in higher profile zoos have a stronger chance of staying afloat but the pressure is still immense there is like malala franticly fund raising securing bank loans and furloughing staff to try and see them through the crisis while the government's support package is welcome is limited in scope. negotiating on behalf of the sector is the british an iris association of zoos and aquariums when we can working with the government work scheme we don't think it's going to be enough for all and especially for the

you so much nic well the u.s. women's soccer team has vowed to fight on in their battle for equal pay on friday a judge rejected their claim that they were being unfairly treated the world champions a suing their own federation arguing the u.s. men's team receives better pay the church disputed their evidence but has allowed an allegation of discriminatory working conditions to go to trial the plaza seeking around 60 $6000000.00 in damages it seems spokesperson said we are shocked and disappointed with today's decision but we will not give up our hard work for equal pay we're confident in our case and steadfast in our commitment to ensuring that girls and women will not be valued as a lesser just because of their gender let's talk now to sports lore examiner punk who's live for us in chicago can you talk us through the justification for this decision. the cure of the judged and this kid

wanted by george w. bush. he basically made a bad women are going to be basically had a different feel a collective bargaining agreement and the men and specifically rejected a plea but structure that was different from them. or merely work up played bass or whatever to fit paid in a mash women in their collective bargain agreement that believe that they would be compensated regardless of whether they played a match or not and so basically they just made it is that you bargain for this certain pay for upper end so that if you were subject to it basically perry apples and oranges is what the judge essentially will the woman is that a realistic possibility for them to appeal. i think it is and i think. the women are basically state and there is an equal bargaining power that men may have to pass even enter into that collective quite different agreement i think that's another avenue to attack that so i have 7 looking at holes in what was on

paper as a as a result of the collective bargaining agreement when they could go directly to how the agreement was negotiated birthplace well we also have to consider that they still have a working conditions that are going on to try and sit with these other working conditions going to trial efforts to return shelly raising the space for the u.s. soccer federation this could create some sort of a settlement maybe in the future for a new collective bargaining agreement that ultimately bear with the u.s. women's national soccer team and i just want to ask you has this regardless of that outcome spoke to a white a conversation about the treatment of women and minorities in sports in the u.s. . of course and i think that it's important to see that this is something that there has been a women's movement and. here in the united states and it involves all different types of deals that women are feeling they are unequal to women that the statistics

bear out even with certain laws or regulations we still have to have a conversation about unequal treatment of women in the workplace and these women are been really vocal about happening and their fight for life fight of women across all industries save you 5 joining us live from chicago thank you have a field song thank you thank you now it's a nice time for becomes one talks with the government says that it's from my novice area that seems have issued a joint statement saying that song is to complete the remaining fixtures not for the comments by telling sports minister that he was unconvinced by the league's health and safety plan the clubs face losing hundreds of millions of dollars if the season's council's always been so consumed in a class that the school historian at the university all along yet. i think we are in front of the classic tradeoff between economic interest from one side and have interest from the out there with sporting interest in this moment that they are
