the at the center of the alfred and experience the most severe lockdown measures that the country experienced during this time so we now have these thousands of students going back to school in war han they're attending 121 different schools across the city and that's really being trumpeted across china and state media here as as a triumph really of the government's ability to control the outbreak and for these students though they weren't be going back to class as they remember it well the class groups have been divided into smaller groups to allow the students to maintain some level of distance between each other they have to wear masks at all times and they have to have that temperatures regularly checked there are also fewer students at their school so far it's only senior students who are returning to class they've been prioritised as they're preparing for the university entrance exams that will take place in july and now these students and joining students of

the same age across the country who have gone back to school in recent weeks especially in areas that are declared a safe low risk areas and it is one of these indicators here in china that things are going back to normal another announcement that was made in the last few hours is that shanghai's disneyland is also set to reopen next monday and china's national people's congress the most important political event of the calendar will also take place at the end of this month and this all follows weeks of low levels of nucor and virus cases we've seen single digit cases in the last few weeks most of these important cases so the government does seem to be valid a fairly confident that things are under control but things so far they're still remaining quite cautious and for example which is still yet to see a timetable for youngest units or primary school students to return to school and record for me with the latest from beijing katrina thank you. south korea's

a further indication of restrictions here in south korea gradually being lifted as the country emerges into this strange new post virus world here at the museum of modern art along with other museums galleries libraries across south korea they are all being allowed to open but only with very strict precautions being in place we have the usual temperature checks of everyone entering the numbers here are strictly controlled 1st of all you would have to have registered online to visit your museum of modern art and with no more than 100 people at any one time allowed inside it's basically all part of what's known here as every day life quarantine basically the new normal but it's one the south koreans we've been speaking to seem to accept as part of the recovery from this outbreak and they are certainly welcoming the fact that they can now get back into public venues pound the limited

the number of people here which is good because it's not so crowded and. what it is what people are still aware of the distancing measures also being allowed for the 1st time religious gatherings sporting events all those occasions that bring people together as long as they're still practicing the basic principles of social distancing then they're allowed to do so there's presidents handling on the crown of virus crisis as under greater scrutiny after accusations he sought quick fixes by rushing unapproved drugs to patients and as the death toll passes 70000 in the u.s. donald trump says he's considering winding down a virus taskforce set up to respond to the pandemic i can as the latest from washington no facemask for the president while visiting an aerospace company repurposed to produce masks this in defiance of his administration's guidelines that masks should be worn in public at all times. the president confirmed reports that he was considering shutting down the coronavirus task force that has been

responsible for the federal response to the pandemic as far as the task force my pension the task force and done a great job but we're now looking at a little bit of a different form and then former safety and opening and we'll. have a different group probably set up for them are you saying mission accomplished no no no no the mission accomplished is when it's over while the president was on his travels this document was handed over to the office of the special counsel an $89.00 page whistle blower report alleging the trumpet ministration ignored early warnings about the coronavirus the authors dr rick bright the former director of the biomedical at vance research and development authority the country's controlling body pullbacks in production he alleges he was unfairly removed from his job following complaints about the administration's lack of urgency in reacting to the pandemic he also specifically mentions resisting pressure from senior

officials to fast track the use of the drug hydroxy korak when and chloroquine itself in treatment for the virus with the drug was heavily and repeatedly touted by the president himself as a task force briefings i think it's going to be very exciting i think it could be. the game changer and maybe not in maybe not but i think it could be based on what i see it could be a game changer dr bright contends his opposition to this position led directly to suspect of demotion as officials sought to placate the president now a lot of what dr bright a whistleblower complaint is about or demonstrate is the extent to which the government at the higher level is committed not to solving the problem but to keeping donald trump happy today keeping him happy to morrow and that's not a way to address a very major problem if it was only a week ago that the f.d.a. for me cautioned against the use of these drugs for the treatment of coronavirus

despite the warnings that dr bright made back in january perhaps the most damning allegation in the report is that the administration ignored or pushed back against dr brights e-mails warning of the severity of the virus and insisting that the national stockpile of mosques and ventilators needed to be augmented unlike other government officials who being demoted or fired dr bright is demanding his job back and congress will now get involved dr brights lawyers confirm he's been invited to give evidence to a house committee on thursday next week mike hanna al-jazeera washington russia reported the largest number of new daily cases of chronic virus in europe on tuesday with infections exceeding 150003 doctors who complained about working conditions have mysteriously fallen out of windows and harbor reports. digging graves instant petersburg russia 2nd city for victims of covered 19

emotions. on saturday according to local state television quoting health officials schuler paul fell from a 2nd floor window at the hospital he's now reportedly in a critical condition in intensive care after suffering skull fractures the same sources say he's the 3rd russian doctor to fall out of a window in the space of 10 days the 2 others died all 3 incidents which are being investigated by law enforcement or thirty's have prompted intense discussion in russia about whistleblowers in the health system everywhere we have a lot of problems then are a lot. of hospitals and. enough. doctors with all her off my it's we don't have enough equipment. across russia the number of recorded covered 9000 cases stands at more than 155000 in officially the diseases killed almost 1500 people most. he remains the country's worst hit region accounting for more than 100 new cases and his 90 percent of

early enough we've been listening to different interviews with lawmakers here and they basically said that they're going to try to find and vote within the next 10 days as required by this order in order to hopefully renew the license of a.b.s.e b.n. however in other platforms for example a.b.s. event is still able to air both in cable and online and even if the government perhaps denies that they have something to do with this for example the solicitor general the government's top lawyer has submitted that with titian in the supreme court against a.b.s.e b.n. and just a little over a week ago also cautioned the national telecommunications commission of issuing a provisional authority that me allow the network to continue airing and basically a provisional authority for its franchise while the well congress that liberates so we can see very strong outreach here at this point re largely online by those who see the network as something that has been critical in providing information and

lastly a most important part about this according to rights groups is that this is not the 1st time that a.b. a c.b.s. been shut down it was shut down in 1972 when president marcos declared martial law it remained close for 14 years until the marcos dictatorship was toppled in 1986 so this is basically people saying history may be repeating itself at this point. still ahead on al-jazeera by singapore's migrant workers are saying they face a high risk of contracting corona virus. and the syrian family that lost everything were turned to what's left of their home to celebrate ramadan. hello european weather is becoming aligned such that the east is underneath the
