a 4th extension of the lockdown but a divided parliament may block his attempt. at activity and activists in the philippines raise their voices after the country's leading broadcaster is forced. on a harmless novel of the sporting commuting. for a demonstrable and the. green light from the government in this month. it is just as g.m.t. and while many countries still have strict lock downs in place some who hit early on are now beginning to lift restrictions but that doesn't mean the life is going back to normal just yet in china's hu han city $58000.00 seniors have gone back to school to having temperature checks other wearing mosques classes a smaller timings of staggered and talking is kept to

a minimum in south korea children will have to wait until next week to go back to class there's been a consistent decline though in new infections of more businesses a reopening and some social events are being allowed but easing of restrictions is worrying many with no vaccine in sight while scientists are looking at ways to treat code that 19 global infections are on the path to hit 4000000 let's begin our coverage with katrina you joins us now live from beijing how has the 1st day back at school and mohan city gone katrina. well this is being hailed as a milestone here in china. at the center of the outbreak here the residents had to experience the strictest measures in terms of lock down controls this year and more state of the deaths and cases of the current virus took place in 100 city and now for the 1st time students are streaming into their classrooms after weeks of not

being able to go to school and there is a lot of relief and excitement from the students being able to go back to classes but as you mentioned it's not classes as they remember them they are now going to smaller classes as groups sizes have been reduced they're wearing masks at all times they haven't had that temperatures checked and classes are also staggered and there are much fewer students only the oldest high school students will be attending class the seniors they've been per pirate us as they have to prepare for their university entrance exams that are taking place this coming july. and this is just one of the indicators of life going back to normal here in china we also heard the news in the last few hours that shanghai is disneyland will also be reopening after weeks of being closed albeit they will limit the numbers of customers who will be able to enter and also china's national people's congress the most important event of the political class calendar here in china will take place later

this month and it comes off to dwindle in corona virus cases here in china according to official figures in who bay province the has not been a new coronavirus case in the past 31 days and nationwide there have been single digits in terms of new coronavirus cases daily and most of these imported cases so the government does seem to have things under control it does have a sense of confidence when it comes to controlling this outbreak and that's certainly the message that they're trying to sell to the people here in china but people do seem to be optimistic although people are all. that china is not quite out of the woods there off still a lot of cry cry and a virus precautions to that are in place around the country everyone does need to wear a mask when going to work will be out and about public and old these students object to school many students are still taking their lessons from harm for example we get to hear of a schedule when it comes to when primary school students can go back to class out

of there is true to you reporting live from beijing katrina many thanks indeed well south korea is also lifting more restrictions as we mentioned it has only reported 2 new cases on tuesday both for people who derived from abroad it's containment has been widely praised his how it's managed to do it soon after the 1st infection was confirmed in january testing kits were quickly approved and patients isolated tracking apps drive through testing of coroutine violation fi in this to test trace and contain the virus or introduced early on the number of infections hit a peak on february 29th on the curve flatten significantly after that by mid april you cases were reduced to single digits a lie in the parliamentary election to be held 255 south koreans died more than 10000 cases recorded al-jazeera was robbed mcbride has more now from inside the

museum of modern in seoul. this is 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 is part of the recovery from this outbreak and they are certainly welcoming the fact that they can now get back into public venues hound them are

limited the number of people here which is good because it's not so crowded and that. 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 it usually takes 7 to 10 years for a vaccine to reach markets drugmakers are racing to find a cure 8 potential vaccines are being tested on people the world health organization says that 4 of the trials are in china pharmaceutical giant pfizer began testing a vaccine in the u.s. on monday that could trigger cells to produce proteins that fight covert 19 scientists at the u.k.'s university of oxford began trials last month if successful a vaccine could be ready by september european union leaders have pledged $8000000000.00 to boost vaccine development dr jerome kim is the director general.

of the international vaccine institute he joins us now live via skype from seoul good to have you with us dr i want to talk to you about how south korea has managed to deal with a pandemic so successfully in just a few moments but 1st how confident are you that a vaccine will be found to counter the virus. so i think when you think about a vaccine you really have to think with the end in mind that end in mind is a vaccine that is being used around the world to reduce death and the burden of disease from kobe 19 so testing and well being that the vaccine works is only the 1st the next step is that we have to make it and we have to make a lot of it at high quality i mean we're thinking you know some multiple of 7000000000 doses 7b1x4b2x1b doses of vaccine and then you have to take that back to you and you have to use it and we're hoping that when we use it we prioritize and that people all over the world who need the

vaccine are going to be able to access it but are you confident that a vaccine will give something like lifelong immunity would it be just a year or so like the flu or just months or even weeks so i think start to answer your 1st question i do believe that we will succeed eventually in making a vaccine 6 to 18 months is a very hopeful timeline and if everything works out fine perhaps we will we won't know about the requirement for booster doses though until we give the vaccine and then follow people up for 12 months or 18 months after they receive the vaccine to see how quickly those whose infection fighting proteins called antibodies which are induced by vaccination drop off is a vaccine our best hope. for a return to normal or should we perhaps be focusing more on treatments that minimize symptoms. so i don't think that the treatments that minimize symptoms are necessarily going to be the answer because by the time

you have an infection and by the time i'm in a relatively symptomatic person progresses to the point where they need hospitalization they've had the opportunity to potentially expose you know hundreds of other people so the advantage to the vaccine is it keeps healthy people healthy and it keeps healthy people from spreading the virus around when you get an infection 80 percent of people have very very mild symptoms and we really can't tell and those are the people who are transmitting the infection to others so really for him to return to the old normal of that scene is probably the most cost effective the most effective mechanism that we have in our amendment area and funnily enough what lies behind south korea's apparent success in dealing with the pandemic water they'd get right that so many other countries haven't. so you know all of the demick her different even when you look at you know covert 1000 in korea or in italy. i think that one of the things was that it was

a relatively singular introduction it came into to go into that into the church and it and it spread among church members and it spread from there in the united states you had multiple introductions you had multiple introductions into new york multiple introductions on the west coast as well and before they knew it they had a significant number of infections and deaths in top korea they were on top of it and so it wasn't only testing though i mean because testing that was only a part of the answer part of it is also knowing who those people might have met up with during the course of their daily lives and might potentially have transmitted the infection to you so the ability to test and the ability to identify people who might have been exposed posed and to isolate those who were exposed and to test them for infection was really also a critical part of the success in fact if you look at the government's criteria for stopping it was you know having infections lower than 50 per day and then

also being able to successfully trace 95 percent of the contacts of people who came down with the infection so it's it's not only testing but it's the ability to identify those potential contacts and to isolate them as well because they could potentially also be the source of new infections really good stories you don't see many thanks dear dr jerome kim that direct to all of the director general of the international fraxinus twosome so thank you. this is the news from al-jazeera still to come on the program we'll hear from migrants in singapore who say they're living in cramped conditions alongside infected people. assholes boss issues a coronavirus warning we'll hear from him a little later in the program in schools. spain's parliament is debating a vote on whether to extend the country's lockdown for

a 4th time prime minister pedro sanchez wants the state of emergency to stay in place for a further 2 weeks but opposition piece of signal but they are not willing to approve the measures sanchez doesn't hold a majority and his government has been accused of reacting too slowly to the pandemic let's go live to madrid. is there for us why is the opposition not happy with the prime minister's plan to extend the state of emergency. opposition parties in spain are blaming. the outbreak of coronavirus centralized. government power for mismanagement of the crisis and not consulting or even reporting to the to the rest of the political groups any action or any decision that it was he was going to mate with to this traveling in the past days trying to negotiate with all of the political groups in the. to get the support to extend the

4th extension of the state of emergency don't that we have since march 14th and if it's approved today it would last until may 25. down down. this morning is the proper framework the one that. their health and the economy. he has also said change that. tone of these speeches this morning more conciliatory lending a hand to the other political groups announcing a national morning from next week. and also. offering to call rule with the rest of the of the autonomous regions. for next month a further restrictions will be eased in order to get the economy going again in spain how do people feel about that.

yes from monday will enter who will move on to face one where a small shops. and restaurants will open the terraces to a 50 percent of the capacity hotels are also able to open up to 30 percent of the capacity but with no use of the common areas most of the holders are not opening their have got no guarantee because all the borders are closed national borders and people cannot travel from province to province so say they say there's no point to open the doors we have to remember that these effects strictly to respond to recently in spain represents a 12 percent of the gross domestic product and in directly. and indirectly impacts a 35 percent in spanish economy experts are are for seeing that this year till the end of the gear is spain which it will lose in the private sector $124000000000.00 euros and we'll have 800000 jobs lost so this is

a very green ring scenario to reason we'll have to rely in nationalists and we have to remember that that spaniards here have lost their jobs and are getting unemployment benefits with a very uncertain future also germany has already told their citizens not to travel to spain so this is an area which is quite grim and dark frustrating. many thanks indeed. reporting live from madrid. britain's government is denying accusations that it's elderly people in care homes by prioritizing hospitals in its response to the coronavirus pandemic more than 32000 people died in the u.k. the highest number in europe the government began to have the tell us he's homes to its figures at the end of april let's go live now to london non-serious jonah how is there where in just under an hour's time boris johnson will be in parliament for his 1st prime minister's question since he recovered from covert 19 but let's

start 1st with the fact that one of the government's most serious science advisers has been as resigned his position why. yeah well we'll talk a little bit in a moment about prime minister's questions and boris johnson's reappearance in the house of parliament behind me but but this is an enormous story you're talking about it's splashed across all of the national newspapers today surpassing even those death toll figures that you talked about there putting britain in 1st place in europe 2nd place in the world 2nd only behind the united states said on the papers we're talking about one of the most influential scientific advisor stepping down from his role on sage the scientific advisory group advising the government during this lockdown it's an important story because professor neil ferguson of imperial college in london has been so influential in size in government policy it

was his research back in march that indicated that in the absence of a full lockdown here fully a quarter of a 1000000 people could die that was at a time of the government seem to be looking the other way resistant to the idea of a lock down he has consistently been advising that the lock down needs to remain in place for as long as is necessary to protect against a 2nd wave and that as senior government figures and conservative party figures are pressing for an end to the lock down to restart the economy and it's also an important story of course because of the example that it sets to the public this is a public figure now who has encouraged the lock down who's broken it himself by reportedly invited inviting his lover into his home on 2 separate occasions during lockdown professor ferguson says he did so believing he was immune having suffered from the virus several weeks ago he's admitted an error of judgment he regrets undermining the lockdown but i think already a say as plans are becoming clearer about a gradual easing of the lockdown with

a lot of pressure to do so i think already there are suggestions that the part of professor ferguson will not necessarily be to the regret of everybody in government and the conservative party all right so prime minister's questions to get on the way in the next hour the 1st since boris johnson returned after suffering is 1st with a new leader of the opposition opposite. yeah i think this will be gleefully watched it is a weekly encounter of course it often isn't gleefully watch this will be not least because a lot of people are at home unable to do so but of course because as you say boris johnson is back he's up against a very different kind of opponent now the newly elected leader of the labor party's a very different to his predecessor jeremy called when they come from opposite ends of their party mr coburn was frequently accused of missing the opportunity week in and week out to last the hard questions and really challenge the government is by profession a prosecuting lawyer he is more than able to ask the hard questions and i'm sure

will do so in the weeks and years to come when there's no shortage of course of those questions at a time of national crisis the u.k.'s lack of preparedness its apparent slow response this soaring death toll remember when boris johnson was lost in the house of commons before m.p.'s on march the 25th the death toll here was just 500 well it's now as you say all or above 30000 with some credible predictions putting the entire impact of covert 19 on the u.k. at 50000 deaths or more out of there as to help life for us in london many thanks indeed john a new coronavirus cases in russia present by over 10000 for a 4th consecutive day the country has now over 165000 infections more than 1500 people have died and 3 doctors have complained about working conditions of mysterious thing for an ounce of windows and a 0 sum game bubba reports. digging graves instant petersburg russia 2nd city for

victims of covered 19 a scene that's becoming more common and now there are disturbing questions over health workers who've raised the alarm about their working conditions there after you never really felt oleksandr ish this video on twitter shows dr alexander shoot off on the left and a colleague is explaining how she had been forced to keep working despite having covered 19 the colleague had previously criticised the hospital management for protective gear shortages and was questioned by police for allegedly spreading fake news but another video made 3 days later apparently of their hospital seems to show sure of by now being treated for the virus retracting their complaints. i feel right my temperature is not rising why did the this a think dramatic of a runny nose otherwise all is well what we said was said when we were high on emotions. on saturday according to local state television quoting health officials

surely power 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 we don't have enough let's don't have enough equipment. moscow remains the country's worst hit region accounting for more than half of new cases and here 90 percent of patients are younger than 65 several cities remain on lockdown and while much of europe looks to ease restrictions the russian government

says they'll stay in place until there's a vaccine. al-jazeera. the u.s. president's handling of the coronavirus crisis is under greater scrutiny after accusations that he sourced quick fixes by rushing unproven drugs to patients and as the death toll passes 70000 donald trump says that he's considering winding down the virus taskforce that was set up to respond to the pandemic of 0 as mike hanna reports 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 their 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 advanced research 'd 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 but i think 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 in 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 suspected demotion as officials sought to placate the president now a lot of what dr great a whistleblower complaint is about or demonstrate it 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 tomorrow and that's not a way to address a very major problem this 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 masks and ventilators needed to be augmented and like other government officials who've been 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. human rights groups are criticizing the shutdown of a leading broadcast network in the philippines calling it a serious blow to press freedom a.b.s. c b n was ordered to shut down on tuesday after its operating license renewal process stalled activists late candles outside its office after the announcement despite a lockdown being in place president rodrigo deter has regularly criticized the network opponents of accused him of targeting independent media the company's shares been suspended and serious general allen duggan in manila says this isn't

the 1st time that the channel has gone off air. there is strong opposition online and also in other interviews where government officials specially those in congress have actually in a way apologized to the network for failing to pass and help renew its license 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 while congress the liberates so we can see there is 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 and most important part about this according to rights groups is that this is not the 1st time that maybe 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. well look who's here let's get some weather with jenny and news of some extremely strong winds affecting some parts of the world where really strong indeed and some the strongest winds really are going to say as you say some poles well particularly across central africa let me start with that and let me show you and talk about it's actually here is across in tunisia and this is what actually approaches just
