a chinese lab specifically in the war hunt institute of role the g. saying that these are groundless and she demanded that the u.s. produce the evidence that they say that they have and she also said that the beijing was quote unquote fed up with washington's tricks. as we were reporting a few moments ago high school seniors in the epicenter of the outbreak went back to school for the 1st time today how did the day go. well when very well and this event so this day was really trumpeted here by state media it's seen as a triumph and proof according to the government of its ability to control the current virus outbreak here in china we had 58000 students returned to school over 10 to high school in 120 schools opened and that's seen as very significant because of course one was the epi center residents living there experienced the more severe and the longest lockdown that was put in place here in china so students very
4:05 pm
relieved and seemingly happy to be back in class but it's not class as they know it their classes are reduced in size they have to wear masks around the clock and also they're expected to have their temperatures checked numerous times during the day and also there are fewer students and what they're used to it's not every student that is going back from today it's only senior high school students and they've been prioritised because they're preparing for their university entrance exams that are taking place in july and this is just one indicator here in china of things slowly getting back to normal we also heard the news that shanghai is disneyland is going to open its doors back up starting from next monday and later this month the national people's congress china's most important political event of the years also going to finally be held at the end of may after weeks of being pushed back because of the outbreak and this all follows weeks of dwindling corinna virus cases
4:06 pm
according to official figures we've only had single digits in terms of new cases day by day and most of these are imported and in who by province they have been there have been nor new cases reported in the last 31 days but with far from clear the government still has many precautions in place and there are as you mentioned many students going back but primary students are still learning the lessons from harm and we don't know exactly when they'll be back in class yet there's a risk trigger you lived in by. aging force many thanks indeed to katrina let's cross live now to white house correspondent kimberly. china's u.n. ambassador in geneva says that his country's priorities are fighting the pandemic and he says quote countering the absurd and ridiculous politicize ation of it what's behind the u.s. administration's criticism of china now is it politics i think that you certainly can't rule that out given this is
4:07 pm
a election year in the united states in fact in many ways blame china has become the new rallying cry for this administration as it tries to win a 2nd term much like build the wall was for donald trump with the southern border of the united states and mexico in 2016 and what this does this it already strains relations between the united states and china the world's 2 superpowers at a time when they were particularly fragile already what we've had here is donald trump and his secretary of state mike pompei really doubling down on the assertions that this virus originated in a lab in china even as their top public health official dr anthony found she says it was natural in origin so what this is done has deepened an already existing rift between the 2 nations well there's no indication obviously right now of any sort of military confrontation what this white house has not ruled out are additional tariffs that we've seen already used to as of weapon between the 2 sides so this is
4:08 pm
something that we're watching very carefully also watching very carefully is the future of phase one of that sort of highly touted trade deal between the united states and china and whether either side will live up to its commitments meanwhile president trump says that he's considering winding down his coronavirus task force even as the number of deaths in the states continues to mount what's the thinking behind that more spin the reaction to it. well there's been a little bit of surprise to tell you the truth because what we've seen here in the context of this being an election year is this white house really pivoting from crisis mode over chronic virus to campaign mode even as we know the number of infections in the united states is going to continue to rise even as high as 200000 infections a day by june so this is really raised eyebrows because the question becomes if the numbers are going up why then is the current virus taskforce winding down.
4:09 pm
i think that as far as the task force mike pence of the task force of done a great job but we're now looking at a little bit of a different form and that former seems to have an opening and we'll. have a different group probably set up for the are you saying mission accomplished no no no no the mission accomplished is when it's over. now in the midst of all this another brewing controversy surrounding this administration is a whistleblower complaint filed by one of the top vaccine scientists in the united states dr rick bright he has sent in a complaint to the u.s. special counsel's office alleging that he was given enormous political pressure from the trumpet ministrations from the coronavirus task force also from the top health and human services secretary alex a's are in order to promote a drug that the president was very fond of in the early days of fighting
4:10 pm
coronavirus hydroxy clora quit this is something that he said morally he could not do and he says as a result of pushing back he was forced to step aside we expect his testimony on capitol hill next week in the house of representatives as well as dr anthony fauci who will be testifying next week in the u.s. senate our white house correspondent could be how could reporting live from the white house many thanks indeed kimberly. activists in the united states of set in motion what's called the trump death clock the clock says that 40000 deaths that are counted so far are caused by donald trump's inaction they say the activists estimate that 60 percent of u.s. deaths could have been prevented if restrictions have been imposed. south korea is lifting more restrictions as we mentioned a few moments ago and only reported 2 new cases on tuesday both were people who derived from abroad it's containment of the virus has been widely praised and here's how it's done it soon after the 1st infection was confirmed in january
4:11 pm
testing kits were quickly approved and patients isolated mobile tracking apps and drive through testing centers to trace and contain the virus well all were introduced early on along with fines for breaking quarantine the number of infections hit a peak on february 29th and the flattened significantly after that by mid april you cases were used to single digits a lying the parliamentary election to be held 255 south koreans have died and more than 10000 cases recorded cried reports now from inside the museum of modern art 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
4:12 pm
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 that part of the recovery from this outbreak and they are certainly welcoming the fact that they can now get back into public venues found them are limited the number of people here which is good because it's not so crowded and that being is not what it is people are still aware after distancing measures also being allowed for the 1st time religious gathering 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 this is the news hour
4:13 pm
from al-jazeera still to come on the program a top kashmiri rebel commander is killed by indian forces will that spark tensions in india administered kashmir at the border with pakistan. rescued from the scene of stranded on an island in bangladesh rights activists are concerned about the health of or hang the refugees who fled. assholes boss issues or coronavirus what it will hear from him a little later in the program in sport. one of the most senior scientific advisors to the british government has resigned after breaching the coronavirus lockdown rules that he helped to create professor neil ferguson was one of the leading voices on the scientific advisory group more than 32000 people have died over taking italy as the highest number in europe prime
4:14 pm
minister boris johnson has been speaking at his 1st prime minister's questions since recovering from the virus he was forced to defend the number of deaths in the country's care homes and the denecke going only you can homes which is something i'd bitterly regret what we've been working very hard for weeks to and to get it done and a huge amount of effort has been go into by the tree tens of thousands of people to get the right b.p. to care homes to encourage workers in care homes understand what is what is needed life not a lot and i was there as a whole is outside parliament judge is not exactly business as usual in the chamber it's much quieter for a start. oh yeah lots of m.p.'s following b m q's on zuma not in the chamber of course boris johnson was there so it was a kid a star of the newly elected leader of the opposition labor party and one influential
4:15 pm
online news publication called it the most meaningful pm cues in a decade and the 1st of potentially many to come. boris johnson put on notice here that he is up against a brand new opponent who is going to give him potentially a much harder time than he's used to with lots and lots of difficult questions to be honest that will be asked that has already begun and on says that the prime minister the government frankly probably at this point in time just don't have circus time or he is a prosecuting lawyer by profession he's used to asking the hard questions that was absolutely on display today so the prime minister wanted to say that they were improvements in care home in the care home crisis in this country secure starmer said no doubt according to your own briefing on tuesday night that noted deaths in care homes still going up week on week the prime minister wanted to talk up his new testing target of 200000 tests today by the end of this month secure starmer said
4:16 pm
while the targets only as good as the strategy that goes along with it testing tracing what happened to that strategy 2 months ago prime minister he didn't have an adequate answer it's the sort of thing this government is going to face now week on as this crisis develops and particularly in the aftermath of it take a listen to secure starman here highlighting some of the areas just some of the areas where government policy appears to have come up sorely wanting so far parsons can't really be made when the government's been using slides like this for weeks to do international comparison just really doesn't hold water i'm afraid that many people concluding that the answer my question is the u.k. was slow it's not down slow on testing slow on tracing and slow on the supply of protective equipment jenna what's been the reaction to the resignation of one of the government's top scientific advisors on the coronavirus. this is a huge story it splashed across every single newspaper that you care to pick up
4:17 pm
it's a bigger story it seems on this day even than those enormous death toll numbers that put this country ahead of italy and 2nd only to the united states in the entire world instead the paper splashed on the resignation of city of professor neil ferguson from the government's special advisory group and he's been hugely influential in informing government policy up to now it was his work at imperial college that predicted back in march the quarter of a 1000000 britons might die in the absence of a lockdown when the government seemed to be looking the other way and resistant to a lockdown suddenly a lockdown was imposed he has been warning relentlessly that the lockdown must be kept in place for as long as it takes to god against a 2nd wave just as senior figures in government and the conservative party want to lock down lifted to restart the economy it's important also because of course he is a figure in the public eye encouraging the public to stick to the lockdown and he himself is seen here to have breached it by inviting his lover to come and visit
4:18 pm
him at his home twice whilst believing he said that he was immune to the virus having suffered from it some weeks back he's apologized he's admitted to an era of judgement but he's out of that key committee and has a say as the government now puts together plans to start easing this lock down i think that will be people in government and in the upper echelons of the conservative party who won't necessarily be sorry to see the back of it jonah many thanks indeed i was there as jonah hill reporting live in london with some help from some of the background right israel's defense minister has approved the construction of thousands more settle homes in the occupied west bank around 7000 to be built in the effort settlements south of bethlehem. illegal on the international bowl let's get some reaction from al-jazeera sorry force that in west jerusalem the house for her it comes as the new israeli government plans to annex settlements in the occupied west bank on july 1st this is the timing significant
4:19 pm
here. well certainly it is significant in a couple of ways one is the fact that the defense minister naftali bennett it isn't is under his aegis that these sorts of announcements are made and if this government deal does go through in the next few days then he would almost certainly be out of that job and so it may well be that he wanted to make another eye catching for his right wing supporters announcement of this kind and it would if it went through be a major expansion of the on block or in and around bethlehem south to the south of bethlehem reportedly about an extra 100 hectares of land being used for these $7000.00 housing units presumably it would be inside the back of what is being mapped at the moment between the united states and israel as to exactly where an annexation could take place and as you say this does come on the same day as 2 interviews with the us ambassador to israel david friedman have been trails in the
4:20 pm
press they will be fully published on friday in which he essentially says that if israel according to netanyahu benjamin netanyahu the prime minister's promises does go ahead and try to annex some 30 percent of the west bank beginning in early july then the united states would recognize that however he also said that as part of that there would have to be a commitment from israel to negotiate a future palestinian state as well although in one of those interviews he said that essentially would just have to be a commitment that it wouldn't necessarily have to be a response from the palestinian side let alone any real prospect of negotiations taking place some might read into that some reluctance just to give a complete green light of course you remember that in january when the deal trump peace plan was unveiled friedman said that israel could start annexing almost as soon as it wanted to he was reined in by jared krishna president trumps son in law
4:21 pm
at that stage. there are talks still going on between the united states and israel is mapping process still going on really that the big consideration will be whether the united states really does want israel to go ahead with this an exception with might be other regional considerations of interests at play we have to see how that pans out in the next few weeks as harry foresaid live in west jerusalem many thanks harry let's suspect now with the seriousness abraham is in ramallah in the occupied west bank what is another announcement of a settlement construction mean for palestinians needa. well policy is have been arguing for years that israel is building its occupants which are considered illegal under international law and then creating facts on the ground that then are presented to post unions that's part of the allergy on the ground in a peace deal that they should accept this is a this new announcement further solidifies their argument that they would when
4:22 pm
trying story here is that israel is ignoring international law and it's using its good relationship with the us right now mainly between the us president and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu to do actions according to international law of the league and then asking palestinians to accept them so who are opposed to these have been saying that they no longer view the us as an honest mediator for peace and they've been asking for an international peace conference by different players in the region and in the world pay a rule in ending the conflict it's worth mentioning that for palestinians in the occupied west bank they've been seeing these documents mushroom over the years they're coming closer to even the palestinian cities and who are them they've been saying that they were left alone dealing with not just the israeli settlements the surrounding roads that are connected to. them the infrastructure that is related to
4:23 pm
them but also to their attacks and as we've seen from the figures by watchdog here they've been saying that even during this pandemic there is a growing number of attacks by settlers against palestinians so it is a feeling of pressure for a nation and we are expecting the mark from the palestinian politicians to condemn this and ask the international community. ever him reporting live from ramallah in the occupied west bank. more boats carrying rowing a refugees have arrived in bangladesh the refugees are from myanmar and some of them transferred to a small island which has been described by rights activists as a health hazards we have a jump june reports. just 2 weeks after hundreds of rohingya refugees who'd been stranded at sea were rescued off the coast of southern bangladesh another boat this one carrying around 50 people was
4:24 pm
allowed to shore on saturday. the rohingya seen in this video shown by a local news outlet are believed to have been on one of 2 fishing trawlers that have been adrift at sea for months this was after their families had to pay ransom money to traffickers on a bigger boat and that bigger boat is still potentially off the coast of cox's are and these traffickers are still holding potentially hundreds of people on this boat until they can pay ransom money to allow them to go to shore and i'm glad i'm not a spokesman for bangladesh's coast guard denies there are currently any boats full of refugees in areas they patrol. according to government officials 29 of the new arrivals were taken to bus on char a remote island in the bay of bengal where it had previously been planned to house up 210-0000 broking a refugee. human rights watch called it a dangerously flood prone island without adequate health care the government of
4:25 pm
bangladesh is claiming that they've been sent there for quarantine because they don't want to so-called contaminate the refugee camps and cox's bizarre but the reality is that the un aches yar and other agencies already have quarantine facility set up before it and they have already processed more than 400 people from a previous boat so this is an excuse by the bangladesh government to operationalize the island of basilan char which they want to do for quite sometime in mid april bangladesh rescued $396.00 rohingya refugees from a vessel adrift for almost 2 months after failing to reach malaysia dozens on that boat died survivors spoke with the reuters news agency about the abuses and deprivations they endured is the thing to get a reduction in the traffic is right woman and some of them got pregnant on the but 3 of the woman survivors are in this camp the legend of the murderer $510.00 in total on the boat including kids we ran out of food within 5 days after we sailed
4:26 pm
