2 weddings to put some money style on out to sea and. if you want to help save the world. don't. sneeze into your own. 'd al jazeera. alone can but al this is the news on live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes the worst job losses since the great depression a record 20000000 people in the u.s. became unemployed and i put. more than 60000 corona virus infections in just 6 days but there's growing suspicion over russia's death toll circuits. accusations of
6:01 pm
slavery at sea indonesia demands answers after the deaths of fishermen working on chinese boats. and you should remember it's low key commemorations take place to mark the 75th anniversary of the end of the 2nd world war new. i'm joining us go with sports as football returns to south korea the defending katie league champions get off to a winning start inside an empty stadium but thank medical workers with their celebrations. it's just gone 15 g.m.t. we begin in the u.s. where unemployment skyrocketed in april the biggest increase in close to 90 years tens of millions of jobs were wiped out across the country this crowd of ours
6:02 pm
lockdowns better the economy let's take a closer look at those figures unemployment surged to 14.7 percent compare that to just 4.4 percent that was back in march 20 point 5000000 jobs were lost in april alone the worst losses since the great depression which. gana 1929 and that far exceeds the 2008 global recession when 8700000 jobs were wiped out and it's going out to our white house correspondent kelly how can we just put these unemployment figures into context for us. yeah they certainly are not what this is ministration wants to hear not unexpected but at the same time an enormous challenge now one of the top exact rather economic advisers to the u.s. president larry kudlow was speaking in the driveway just behind me in just the last few moments and he talked about these numbers and the challenge that this
6:03 pm
administration is facing to try and combat that he said what they're confident about in their view is that the economic policies of this administration are not the cause of this that the cause was clearly cope with 19 and so that's why they're projecting that this is possible to rebound from but at the same time he said he's not looking to project any false optimism what he knows very definitively he says the next 3 quarters are going to be very very troubling in other words what he's saying is that these numbers are going to go up and that's not what ordinary americans want to hear as well he says that while these numbers will go up the view is that will be temporary and that is something that i don't think everyone agrees on that this rebound is going to be as quick as the job losses where you have to remember the losses happened in a matter of weeks but the analysts are predicting that the recovery in terms of bringing these jobs back 1st of all many won't come back and then 2nd it's going to
6:04 pm
take months if not years for the others to return and kimberly the economy is of course important for trump 7 he sees it as very important for his chances of reelection once he had to say about the economy today. yeah the u.s. president called into fox news which is of course a u.s. network here in the united states and had some reaction to these numbers as they were coming out as always the u.s. president a cheerleader because till the plummeting of these numbers in terms of the job losses the u.s. president was pinning his reelection chances on the very strong economy and the historically low unemployment rate but all of this has been wiped out since donald trump has become president the u.s. president calling this an acceptable confident that this was a great economy that he was presiding over and that he'll be able to bring it back he said that he predicts that next year 2021 will be phenomenal now you have to
6:05 pm
remember that donald trump's presidency ends you know january 20th november 2020 is when the next u.s. election will be so he's predicting what he's actually saying that all of this is if you really like to be i will bring these jobs back in fact the truck campaign also sending out a statement saying that this was an economy artificially interrupted by the global coronavirus pandemic and americans are looking to donald trump and his proven success they say to restore the economy to greatness no question about it what they are saying in this campaign message now is reelect onil trump if you want your jobs to return of course again though many people suggesting in terms of the business community that this is going to take much longer and beyond the u.s. election for these jobs to come back thank you for them that is what else correspondent kimberly how could well now we can bring in our economics editor ammad on the who joins us live from london i had the pictures obviously bleak but i
6:06 pm
was really interested to see that the labor department is saying 18000000 of these jobs lost a temporary so is there a hope that things will bounce back will we see that v. shaped recovery that people are hoping for. well let's put this into some kind of context because in february the unemployment rate was at least lowest level in 5 decades all 3 point by the sense this is a dramatic and stammering turnaround to see if your unemployment rate triple to 14.7 percent as we mentioned more than $20000000.00 people are now unemployed and it's so low paid minorities and women who have been hit the hardest and there's concerns that the label bureau itself isn't actually recording the number of job losses and the number could be a lot higher with some analysts saying that the number could be closer to 20 percent to be considered unemployed you have actually got to be looking for work
6:07 pm
and as you can imagine in these climates it's not actually possible to do that and it's a leisure and hospitality sets as which has been the worst hit losing almost 8000000 jobs you might remember united airlines $3000.00 jobs have been lost there because 90 percent of flights have been grounded and it's that tech industry as well which is chimed in with job losses as well every human being has cut more than 3000 jobs and is close to cutting about 4 babson jobs because they're trying to preserve as much cash as possible because they don't know how long this crisis will last but for the economy as a whole you know every single sector has been affected even the health care sector which might be quite shocking so a lot of people so the question is are these temperatures obsolete likely to tend to job losses likely to come back well yes they are temperate layoffs so there is
6:08 pm
a possibility that if the lot that ease on and then these jobs could resume but that only depends on consumer confidence consumers if consumers don't feel competent enough to come. out and start spending like many people would like them to do then we could have a longer term crisis so that those temperate jobs become permanent job losses and remember during normal recessions it's the permanent jobs which will last but not this time around thanks for that that is our economics editor there are bit on the life of london. to russia now which is rapidly becoming a new hotspot in the global pandemic for 6 days in a row new cases have gone up by more than $10000.00 and moscow's mare is warning the numbers of infections is far higher than the official figures salbe else has more. russian police and fire fighters
6:09 pm
patrolled the streets with instructions observe the corone teen take care of yourself and stay home as countries around the world start to open up much of russia is closing down case numbers have escalated to put it in the top 5 of the world with more than 177000 cases but most goes mia fears it may be even worse that is the year for according to streaming studies the entire number of infections in moscow ranges from 252300000 that's 3 times the official figure there could be a modest budget at the neighborhood where 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 and public places. moskos 11000000 residents will be allowed to
6:10 pm
leave home for essential services only with restrictions extended until 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 mosco hospitals and other getting urgent extensions moskos all russian exhibitions seem to is also being transformed into a field hospital before but when there is that 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 to. 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 pollutions seen troops to help initially now the needed at home. i think russia should be proud because when europe and the whole world was struck by the code 1000 pandemic you came to lend us
6:11 pm
a helping hand and not surprisingly russia has had some of the problems and this is admirable it's all hands to the front line is russia's battle against coronavirus as well and truly arrived shallop ballasts. very let men is a senior associate of the institute for european russian and eurasian studies at george washington university she says the real concern for russia is when the virus moves into the provinces that aren't as wealthy and health care isn't as well as quick wit. all countries of the world or nearly all were unprepared for this pandemic i would point out however that the number of deaths in russia or is relatively low compared to the number of those infected and the official authorities are telling russians that actually the right is a number of infections is the effect of the growing number of testing. so it remains to be seen of course but in the other thing about russia that should be
6:12 pm
borne in mind is that over half of those infections in over half of deaths are in moscow which is russia's largest city but also the wealthiest place in russia and a place where health care quality is the highest where doctors are the best health hospitals are more equipment is more state of the art and protective gear is not in shortage to the extent that it might be elsewhere so moscow mary sounds confidence in the grave cases is not growing anymore and past befalls are not yet overwhelmed whether or not we should necessarily believe everything this or it is a say is an open question but it should be remembered that we may be in for a worse crisis when the epidemic moves to the provinces full force.

6:22 pm
you about your daughter i believe you have dartle research on the situation poland . yes we quite recently who we have got are the. infesting that are slowing the increases 'd of the both m.p. 2 ish and anti roma. prejudice so prejudice direct it towards to. minorities and religious minorities living in poland. in defiance of koran the virus. epidemic we're talking about here linking this to corona virus was saying this is all happening at the time of carnival i respect why is it that it's happening at the time of corona virus is it just that these sentiments exist all the time but now they're just coming out. this is a very special situation and our research shows that when people are deprived of control when they in this complaint over their life when they lose complete over their fate they don't know the future becomes very unpredictable that like becomes very uncertain people start looking for simple explanations of that their situation
6:23 pm
and this is what happens currently that people started looking for conspiracy theories that would blame certain groups or minorities for their. for their faith and this is something that some consequences that we observe that in the same time what is known as the hero of behavioral immune system is a certain system the way of behaving under. stress of oxygen's in this way from when the verify misses the back the react people become more focused more confirmation and they exclude all those people who they can see there are either deviant or not belonging perfectly to the groups that this is why there is a lot of hate but the gays minorities and they need grants and many societies all around the word today. why is it that humans we as a global society don't learn from the pasta mean why don't we do that how hate and
6:24 pm
prejudice against one group can spiral and get it get out of control why don't we ban. i think it's always a means a political one believes a thing that has been always used by people in defense and this is true also today we see the far right wing groups and extremist groups are gaining support by blaming certain minorities certain immigrants for the epidemic and the moment that we heard the president of the united states saying that this is a chinese by actually pointing to and nic are national character of the bias which is we know a very dangerous way of putting it the workouts organization wrote about these as the koran the pirates stigma that this is a very stigmatizing way of looking at things because after such a statement by a politician many individuals from asia will be victimized will be attacked by people who just follow this instigators thank you for your time your analysis is

6:26 pm
a police detective who worked in those offices and had relationships with those prosecutors so the family of mr arborist been very frustrated to say the least until at this viral video came out it's about 35 seconds long it seems to have changed everything across the political spectrum across the pace of which this investigation is now moving at the governor of georgia thought it was a deeply disturbing video joe biden the former vice president said it reminded him of a lynching so these 2 men gregory mcmichael and his son travis were arrested on thursday they won't be charged with hate crimes because hate crimes do not exist in the state of georgia and investigators also said as this investigation widens out there may be more developments but certainly this case is now moving at a pace that it wasn't before it basically came to a standstill it was almost being brushed under the carpet but we will see what happens next because any jury could take weeks or even months to convene because of the current restrictions across the united states. the reprocessing kenya's capital

6:29 pm
nomination papers and campaigning has essentially started it was interesting is that a few weeks ago another court stopped the government from implementing a 21 day lockdown because of the coronavirus saying that more consultations need to take place what happened was that some human rights activists had come out and argued that a lockdown would negatively affect the poor in malawi many of whom work in the informal sector many of whom work you know open in market space give it a home for 21 days they won't be able to eat so all those things will come into play in the weeks and possibly months to come the government now has to prepare for an election as well as trying to keep its citizens safe the judges also ruled that the next person who wins the election has to win by more than 50 percent of the vote and the original voters a role that was used in the last election has to be used again this time around and no new names can be added thank you for hermits also there live from harare.

6:36 pm
center of crisis. as countries around the world face the coronavirus epidemic what we're looking at is the probability that the queen will draw between the fight for freedom in the 2nd world war where currently face do you think there are some parallels i mean i've seen some analysts strong parallels in terms of that there's a determination now that we we don't go back to how things were before that we can't go back to the way things were before what do you think. i think that when dealing with a monstrous terribly assumptions. that's in germany and its allies there was a sense that you knew where you were i think part of the problem was with facing us and looking for that 19 which has so many characteristics that affects different
6:37 pm
people in different waves from us to finding out so much about it that doesn't seem to be a coordinated international response in the 2nd world war for example where america . or russia were allied against the axis powers and now there doesn't seem again to be something that you could be internationally nothing that the united nations seemed to be of interest to i mean one of the things today this is so significant if thinking back 75 years to see how the heart of trail sentiment present a macro reconfigured term which is precious to the french only some 20 people there a very very different situation and one that has tremendous difficulties know how to cope with it and go forward fighting why is it important that we continue to mark this day. i think because most of the trips.
6:38 pm
we see in question work life would have been like under lots karen lee and also what is so significant to just 2 years for example in russia of a president putin has been tossed of the sperm the massive military parade in red square the spelled out nearly you think of those who lost their lives fighting for freedom what we owe to them and the importance of remembering the but only so far as we're concerned the still a number of veterans of course who give such wonderful stories of those times and trying to come to rupp. delusions and our ideas are strong but they fought for but they will no longer with us in a certain period of time and it's important to 2 generations don't forget the sacrifice and don't forget what has actually changed absolutely thank you for your
6:39 pm
time that is british cultural affairs commentator richard fitzwilliams from london . for any country looking to lift the lockdown measures success or failure can rest on one thing individual behavior and also the u.k. are undergoing a critical test of that right now thanks to a public holiday and warm weather and residents of one town not far from london are concerned that tourists are going there to break the rules lawrence lee reports. for town which relies so heavily on tourists tells a story of totally changed priorities it's deserted many business is a suffering but they're adapting ross has changed his food and drink store to pick up and delivery only and is proud of how the community has responded what's been super positive is that. vast amounts of it have been coming on to the high street in sensible numbers that support the small businesses sara has
6:40 pm
a business cleaning the houses of londoners who have 2nd homes here that has evaporated but she's managing with others as long as people keep their distance it would be a case of life on working down stay as they go into another room or maybe up stairs as well i've been with doing my customers off been able to go to you know we've all been in different rooms and then it's a case of musical room so to thing you know but the control of the crisis is under threats with the summer here and the government promising easing of the lockdown and their right to be worried because this is what things look like here at the end of march hundreds of londoners having a day out at the seaside risking wits to bulls health the town was furious people were were outraged by it but we don't want is particularly london is because of the high degree of infection that see in london and therefore the perceived greater risk we don't want lots of londoners over it is coming down potentially bring in
6:41 pm
the additional hoyer risk to the area still some 6 weeks on perhaps the fact of the pubs remaining closed has made a difference because on this public holiday which civil remains quiet to the relief of the town for the moment celebrity knows what's actually going on yeah i think this is what we want we don't want busy beaches and we said need one busy street. if public behavior has genuinely changed over the last month or so undoubtedly the biggest reason is that people are more scared than they were and that's is now a problem for the authorities as well having been bombarded relentlessly with stories about how deadly the virus is the public can now being asked to accept that going outside once again may not be totally risky and the economy needs it but if a place like which stable so reliant on sure is i'm isn't convinced about that changing people's psychology may be far from easy largely al-jazeera in which to
6:42 pm
build after weeks of lockdown residents living in barcelona are now able to go out and get some fresh air one of the city's beaches has reopened for exercise but it's only open for 3 hours in the morning and the state of emergency has been extended for another 2 weeks but for reads everything you know we like birdsong like you. like water sports. or go through those i think the or part being being there for 7 weeks in the house is like always working out but. being outside watching the water or someone who doesn't like water sports is very important we despise pain having the 2nd highest number of infections in the world but one small village has so far managed to say virus free and mentally the southern region doesn't have a single covered 19 case the town has a mostly elderly population people there appraising the math to keeping them safe francisco javier levels has enforced strict lockdown measure isn't he even the
