it in the top 5 of the world with more than 177000 cases but most goes mia fears and maybe even worse there is the year for according to straining studies the entire number of infections in moscow ranges from 252300000 that's 3 times the official figure they're pretty modest budget at the table and here we have to toughen the requirements for travelling through the city and for the cemetery protection of people starting may 12th they will be strict measures for using public transport and masks and gloves will be compulsory in public places. moskos 11000000 residents will be allowed to leave home for essential services only with restrictions extended into the end of may the only exceptions affect trees and construction sites of which many will become medical facilities prefabricated clinics are being built next to 13 moscow hospitals and other is

a getting urgent extinctions moskos all russian exhibitions seem to is also being transformed into a field hospital before but when we're here we will have patients of moderate severe itching we will not host seriously ill patients they will go to actual hospitals with more sophisticated and treats of care a quick matter. russia had avoided the exponential growth seen in other countries in the last week of march it had 1000 total cases is italy in the u.s. so past 100000 president putin sent troops to help in italy now they needed at home . i think russia should be proud because when europe and the whole world was struck by the code 19 pandemic you came to lend us a helping hand and not surprisingly russia has had similar problems and this is admirable it's all hands to the front line is russia's battle against coronavirus has well and truly arrived shallop ballasts. unemployment numbers keep

soaring in the u.s. it feels the brunt of the coronavirus pandemic the country with more than $1200000.00 cases that's a 3rd of the world's total is on track 1st with us month of job losses in history but the private sector laid off more than 20000000 workers in april and in the past week alone more than 3000000 people filed for unemployment benefits the latest monthly job figures from the u.s. labor department are due out on friday and these will include people working for the government as well they're expected to put the unemployment rate at more than 15 percent and that would be the worst since the great depression nearly 100 years ago it's in stone contrast to where the u.s. was at just 2 months ago 3.5 percent jobless not a 50 year low a white house correspondent can really help it as more one in 5 americans filing for unemployment insurance since march what we have now 33000000 and climbing really this is

a nation that is bracing for an historic unemployment rate because essentially all of the jobs that. really added to the u.s. economy in the last decade have now been wiped out socially a 20 percent unemployment rate and you have to remember that's astonishing given the fact that it was just weeks ago 3.5 percent previously which was a 50 year low was done voigt as a resident scholar at the american enterprise institute he says the official response to the unemployment numbers has been reassuring. i've actually been somewhat relieved to have quickly congress as has acted and how dramatically the federal reserve has intervened as well so we've seen a drastic expansion of the unemployment insurance program both in terms of generosity and duration we've seen. you know again i'm president support for for businesses grants for businesses with fewer than 500 employees and very significant

market support for larger companies through the federal reserve and so i think that's all you know better maybe then some would have expected coming from from a congress that has and hasn't worked perhaps as effectively as you might hope over the last few years what we don't know yet is whether it will be enough fred we have obviously seen that that bleeding in the labor markets continues i think people would have hoped that by now it would stabilize a little bit where we stop just today that over 3000000 people thoughts on the political benefits in the past week hopefully some of that is simply a bad lot right under some states like florida for example where people have really struggled to be able to file their their unemployment claim and so hopefully some of the some what we saw today is a backlog and situation stabilize but it's certainly not with ingrate. the u.s. justice department is dropping its case against president trump's 1st national

targeted in order to try and take down a president and what they've done is a disgrace and i hope a big price is going to be paid a big price should be paid 24 days as national security adviser is the shortest ever remain in the important government post he resigned when confronted with evidence he lied about his contacts with the russian ambassador to the us that made him vulnerable to blackmail he also lied about his law being for the turkish government and the white house said he'd lied to the vice president his resignation was an issue of trust. flynn and initially what with the miller inquiry into russian collusion with the trump campaign to win a lighter sentence but last year he changed lawyers and took a more aggressive approach to court proceedings even though he'd already pled guilty the decision to drop the case has left many legal experts surprised it is a polishing that somebody. who actually pleaded guilty to 2 crimes is now

walking away because the attorney general of the united states is deciding there isn't enough evidence to prosecute him i think that given the judge's. statements in this case all along judge emmet sullivan i think judge sullivan may have something to say about this sudden reversal going trump has hinted he's open to bringing michael flynn back into the administration a federal judge now has the final decision but it seems the legal case may be coming to an end the political fallout of the justice department's decision is only just beginning alan fischer al-jazeera washington. forces loyal to libyan warlord i mean to have to have shelled central tripoli explosions one of the turkish and italian embassies and a hotel after has been trying to seize a competent for more than a year he issued a warning to turkey on thursday about its support for the u.n. recognize a government which is fighting to defeat or william lawrence out as a u.s.
