not getting anywhere near. the at. al-jazeera. hello i'm convinced this is the news hour live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes millions more u.s. workers a jobless one in 5 has filed for unemployment benefits since the coronavirus locked on. a global pitch for more cash to find the coronavirus the u.n. wants help for the most vulnerable. 4 times more likely to die research says ethnic minorities are at greater risk from cars at 19. and losing the war on drugs global experts call for reforms to combat organized crime.

we begin in the united states where millions more people have filed for unemployment benefits he keeps april track to be the worst month for job losses since records began more than $33000000.00 people have filed for unemployment now in just the last 7 weeks economists say growth could plummets by a 3rd in the 2nd quarter in the u.k. the picture is also bleak the bank of england expects economic output to shrink by 14 percent this year and unemployment to rise to 8 percent the european union had earlier warned to brace for the worst ever recession with the economy tipped to slump by 7.4 percent but figures from china suggesting a different picture their exports rose in april for the 1st time this year up 3 and a half percent after many factories reopened. well let's go now to our white house correspondent kimberly how could 1st let's talk about those unemployment figures

just put them into context for us committee. that will were waiting to see what the u.s. president might also have to say about that he set to meet this hour with the governor of texas these are meetings that he's been holding with various governors of various states in recent weeks as he pushes to reopen the u.s. economy what seems to be the solution from this white house for these very depressed economic numbers now the latest as you stated there the rise in unemployment claims in the 10s of millions and what we're expecting is this is going to continue to rise for some time because we know that there has been a backlog because of the enormous numbers of americans filing that is just taken a while for all of these unemployment offices around the country to process all of these claims but what we're seeing in all of this is not only the astonishing number but the fact that we expect that these numbers are not going to come back as

quickly as they disappeared if your average just weeks ago we had a 3.5 percent unemployment rate that was a 50 year low now we're seeing these record highs in terms of the numbers lost so again watching very carefully at this hour to see what the u.s. president may have to say about all of this really is a mind play also to talk about this news that someone close to him has tested positive for corona virus. there's no question that the u.s. president may be asked this by reporters whether or not he'll answer it's hard to say but what is notable is that we've learned that the pool of reporters that is about to go into the oval office is having their temperature taken in advance of that i can tell you that the testing of the reporters going in and being close contact with the president has been spotty at best and so it does appear that there is now this new layer of prevention that is being taken is taking place i can tell

you before i come into the white house i have to have my temperature taken but i'm not always in the same room as the president now it appears that there is this extra additional step that is being taken what is important to note of all of this is that the reason some of this may be happening is because we are now learning that a very close aide to the president in terms of one of his valet this is a military unit that specially selected works very closely with the 1st family tested positive on wednesday for corona virus now we know that the u.s. president for his part as well as the vice president were also tested they remain negative but certainly this does seem to be concerning to this white house that they are putting in some additional protocols but this is just an example of as this president pushes to reopen the u.s. economy the solution for these low end there are very high unemployment numbers and the enormous loss of jobs that we're experiencing that these are the risks that

ordinary americans are going to have to face now the president facing them to thank you for that to that is our white house correspondent kelly hellcats as we were saying earlier a bleak picture in europe economics but i leaders want to develop ments from london . it's neutral or sleep difficult at this stage to actually say how deep recessions will because we're not experienced anything like it in the modern era in that the bank of england had to reach back 300 years to say the u.k. economy will slump through the worst recession since 1709 and that was when we had the great frost the economy here is expected to contract 14 percent in 2020 in the 2nd quarter alone the economy could shrink by 25 percent these are precedented numbers and unemployment is expected to rise to 9 percent and the

situation on the continent continues to be even worse not find out the numbers next week come friday when june new releases its economic numbers that it's expected to say that in the 1st quarter its economy contracted 2 percent but for the whole year economists as expecting a contraction up 11 percent and governments and central banks are doing exactly what this should be doing they're pouring billions of billions of dollars into the economy to make sure the from natural system is working to make corporates make sure that the corporate sector is working well they're paying for workers to stay off work right so that this very moment in time so it's really difficult to say exactly where economies are going but we do know that it's heading lower right this very moment. meanwhile as the world economy suffers a universal appeal is on the way to fund a global response united nations is asking for billions of dollars from

originations to help the millions living in the world's poorest countries the world body has increased its appeal launched for the coronavirus funding in march from 2 1000000000 dollars to now almost $7000000000.00 calling for extraordinary measures to fight. 6 of the crisis in $63.00 nations and so far the un agencies have only received $923000000.00 from donna's while wealthier nations are spending billions to boost their own economies aid agencies say they are scraping the barrel for additional resources to help the vulnerable the virus is spread to almost every corner of the globe with $187.00 countries affected and this is the picture from johns hopkins university they caught a virus track and you can see global deaths there have supposed 264000 while the total number of confirmed cases is approaching 4000000 let's go now to our diplomatic editor james bass who is standing by for us at the united nations james so the u.n. is asking for

a big $6700000000.00 more dollars how does it plan to reach those people the most vulnerable well it's going to try and do what it can to get this money to those around the world that need it if it gets the money you might be mistaken for thinking we've been here once before what we have in march they want they had a p an appeal to humanitarian appeal for the most needy on the planet but they had to look at it again and revise it and revise it upwards significantly that's not just because of kobe had 19 and the medical resources that these countries which tend to be countries which have pretty unsophisticated medical systems are going to need but also the economic impact you've been talking about globally the way this is going to affect some of these countries just listen to david beasley the head of the world food program talk about the gravity of the situation is so what we're

facing now is a double pandemic truly famines that could impact the biblical proportions there's no question mega famines are all on our break literally right now. before koby. we already had 130000000 people as i say marching on the brink of starvation the problem is going to be persuading the rich countries on earth to come up with this money at this time here i am right now u.n. headquarters of course in new york in the u.s. normally one of the richest countries in the world but all the focus is on the economic problems within the u.s. and it's worth perhaps reminding you the initial version of this appeal was for $2000000000.00 and i want more than 3 times that amount and for that $2000000000.00 then in the in the 1st couple of months of trying to raise that they only got half that money thank you that that is diplomatic editor james phase live from the

are all too prevalent in our society the latest numbers are in line with similar trends among ethnic minority groups elsewhere in the world at the reverend hall's church we meet jennifer green who does what she can to help those struggling in her community despite having underlying health conditions herself these people that b. c i'm not well. they're sick so some of it's hard for some of them as you mention the poor community some of them can't read so it's hard for them to pick up a phone they have a right they don't know who to turn to so people die in as we say in the biblical biblical terms people advance knowledge knowledge is power we're going to lose it doesn't have knowledge of the community its power is taken away in the end this looks like an issue of poverty and of race of minority ethnic groups less well connected to public services more likely to be doing low paid jobs that they can't

front loading orders ahead of what they expected to be a bad pandemic year and also the other thing is that paps this concern about demand dropping maybe that's yet to hit china's exports maybe with still maybe the worst is still yet to come that's also a possibility what we did see though was a fall in imports they fell by 14.2 percent compared to march and that's a 10.2 percent drop your own year and that was worse than what analysts expected there's been a big rethink on the so-called war on drugs former heads of state diplomats and crime experts are telling governments that their policies are wrong and drug laws need to be reformed the swiss space global commission on drug policy says criminalizing illegal drug users and petty offenders is it to overcrowded prisons and the young people in poor communities are suffering disproportionately the

foreign countries the un humanitarian chief says extraordinary measures are needed to protect vulnerable communities from conflict and starvation. of more mass we're joined by yon egeland in oslo he is the secretary general of the norwegian refugee council thank you for your time what do you make of the effort so far to protect refugees the most vulnerable globally from the coronavirus. where we're working hard to know which a refugee council has 15000 field workers and they have all bathed and delivered through this period of our people and we are ready to do more my worry is that too little money is still reaching the most vulnerable and we have these absolutely gigantic salivation plans for the economy of the north north america europe elsewhere we also have quite

a bit of money pledged called the longer term investment in in the economies in the south and of course there was this great effort to find the vaccine and the shore and what not but there is little money reaching displaced the refugees families in war so we are not seeing that money yet but it's a difficult balancing act isn't it because you know some of these governments who could pledge money are facing dramatic drops and there are you know economic shrinking in their own countries and they need to to deal with that i mean either that is a difficult predicament is it not. well yes and no i mean i'm impressed with the trillions that they are now investing in their own economies but but but again where the u.n. appeal is sauce for 6800000000 it's it's it's

a tiny fraction of what has been allocated to the more robust societies in the north i thin they were it will take time before that money is given i asked the norwegian red cross in the region refugee council i asked for $100000000.00 for that we can reach port and a half 1000000 displaced people it's very efficient very cost efficient to help in these communities or support the very recent that if coronavirus gets a stronghold in yemen or in venezuela or in syria or another country with a devastating stated health system it will come back to haunt us in the high north how much responsibility should host nations be taking in protecting their vulnerable refugee populations. no if i mean that they should take

a lot of responsibility many of these countries are very generous host countries that the neighbors of syria has taken 5000000 syrians countries like in uganda tanzania the opium have taken millions of refugees what i find is that they are not enough supported by the rest of the world and of course will also appear that there will now be increasing discrimination already we see that displaced people who lack identity cards simple documentation are not getting the access to have care like the host population us so that's among the things we and the sea do you know we defend the rights of the displaced and we also help with free legal counseling what are the biggest risks for refugee and vulnerable populations is it you know the worry about them actually catching coronavirus and it's spreading through these crowded places or is it you know the fact that while the rest of the world has got

its eyes on coronavirus the support services that were once there and the money that was flowing it is now going. well it's both really i mean we are on the ground in iran where on the ground in ecuador to put troops extremes in west and east in book these countries the the bias is killing people massively however i am now most worried for the social economic meltdown for those who are the poorest to start with you know there are hundreds of millions of people who live from daily wages though so all gone many of the displaced people like colombian migrants in venice or well or for example many of the syrian. many of the yemeni internally displaced they are you know scraping together in an existence from from

a daily salary that has gone completely so we are hearing that the social economic consequences will be even more costly in human lives than the virus itself will have lived there for time thank you for your time that's yon egland there the secretary general of the norwegian refugee council. let's turn now to some of the measures that have been announced as governor spoke to relax restrictions shopping malls in malaysia began reopening on monday while limiting the number of shoppers singapore will return some students to class on may 19th and korea says it will resume flights to north america europe and asia in june jordan has relaxed measures after having one of the strictest lockdowns in the world restaurants in lebanon began reopening this week at 30 percent capacity and iran's government says mosques and schools will soon reopen in low risk areas public transportation networks are back up and running in italy businesses are reopening

there and in spain and 2 fronts $1000000.00 children will return to school on monday germany has also announced the measures but says an emergency brake will be pressed if there's an uptick in cases well to break down what all of this might mean for the virus let's bring in derek gatherer in the united kingdom he is a viral is just and lecturer at lancaster university thank you for your time given all of these lockdown measures being. used is a 2nd wave of coronavirus inevitable. it probably isn't if it's a boy or who'll it's my nature to something that we can't yet predict as we ease the vault and there will be more opportunities for the virus to transmit at all although in many countries for instance in the u.k. we reckon that we've got the reproduction number which is the crucial number that measures whether the virus can spread or not it has to be above one for number starts increasing and we reckon we've got to have

a stone below one but given that we have more opportunity for spread after a lot more contact between people and so on it's possible that that will creep up above one and we'll start to see numbers increasing again this is why for instance germany as you were mentioning there's a possibility over of our sort of the unlocking process if things do start to get out of control the object that most countries have is to flatten the curve in other words to keep infections that manageable level keep day step into a minimum and keep and takes a kid you know it's not over a pint to keep hospitals functioning and at the same time get society and the economy working again but there's always a danger when you do us that things will slip slightly out of control and we could be in for something like a 2nd wave and this is this may be part of dorks occlude be a more dangerous problem in countries that haven't suffered so much in the 1st wave

for instance in new york city you know that lead to. the selfie indicates that 20 percent of the population have antibodies they've already been exposed which is the of extreme it's quite clear that in countries like new zealand that have successfully repaired the virus and that have had a few dates then they won't have anything late that level of immunity in the population and therefore would be more susceptible to a sick we've if it were to get into the country and it were to lose control there has been this show you. aware of it it hasn't been fair of you but this research has come out from los alamos national laboratory that suggesting that the virus has mutated and at least one strain has become more contagious not to all of the scientific community agrees is in consensus with that 20 you think it's very difficult to say at the moment that there was a similar report for a vote of either spiking 2013 and when there was

a break in west africa early on we had we had cases in guinea and liberia and then when the virus moved in to see it only when there was there was a mutation in the lineage of the sea and we would have brought the virus that some people claimed was making aboard fictious and they had they had some experiments in the aborted indicates that perhaps that might be the case but there's been some. rich state by tracking all of that not not everybody's necessarily convinced about it saw it perhaps but in the same kind of situation you have with corporate 19 but what we just have to wait and and time to do viruses always mutate and how we can tell whether it's going to mutate to become more contagious but that is mutation a given. yes fine a civil very quickly and it's part of the make innocent have an immune systems and it comes to the fight that they have to reproduce they quickly have quite an efficient reproduction system so when it when

a fight is reproducing there will be very many caucuses virus that are known functional but as long as that are are not functional ones to find another serial horse then that's good enough for the virus so they tend to be very prudent in their reproduction but this also means that they can change and shape gradually and the immune system which relies on antibodies recognizing the shape of the virus will eventually lose its capacity to to prevent the virus infecting humans and that indeed is why we have to have a flu vaccine and your flu vaccine every winter because the flu virus is this one of these very quickly evolving biases coronaviruses in general are our lace quickly evolving than flu so perhaps we would quite see this phenomena with correct might is that maybe what once we have a vaccine for bias which of course is it's not gotten t.v. but we hope that we will have one soon enough we may not necessarily need

a booster vaccine every year for corona virus as we currently do for a few it might be that it will last a few years before a new one is needed but yes the virus is what we always evolve and that means that eventually our ability to do weights and vaccines have to go to police by new versions of banks he's already got to have your expertise thank you for that that stared gatherer a viral a just an extra at lancaster university. afghan public health minister has tested positive for corona virus it's believed the minister has been quarantining for several days afghanistan has around 3 and a half 1000 confirmed infections and just of that $100.00 deaths. at least 11 people have been killed by a gas leak at a plastics factory in india more than 300 others have been taken to hospital incident happened after gas tanks were there on attended for 40 days because of india's locked up with prada reports from the capital new delhi.
