is there a risk what will force was when you saw that document for the post we listen to after the war saying you'll have be innocent go veiled you know at this stage of you we would not be with you we meet with global news makers and talk about the stories that matter on the 00. 00. you know these are heart breaking numbers the coronavirus pandemic sends u.s. unemployment soaring to its worst level since the great depression many a century ago. live from doha everyone i'm come on santa maria with the world news from al-jazeera there was an increasingly bitter dispute over the origins of the virus and its

preventing the u.n. security council from agreeing on a pandemic resolution and also the news reports of threats bloodshed and forced evictions all beneath the shiny veneer of saudi arabia's planned mega city. and a virtual vigil in the us for a black man shot dead while jogging in georgia this after the arrest of a father and son is. so we're seeing the lines at the food bank stretching for kilometers within the job center is overwhelmed with people it is that physical picture of how badly the u.s. has been hit by cope with 9 now though we have a concrete figure and it's this 114.7 percent that is the unemployment rate for april which tripled from the month before put another way that is more than $20000000.00 jobs gone for some perspective if we go back this is worse than the

global recession which followed the financial crisis of 2008 and if we go back further it even sets a new post war record that was previously in 1902 when unemployment originally 11 percent it's no exaggeration to go right back and say that this is the worst crisis for the u.s. economy since the great depression of the 1930 s. when one in every 4 american workers had a job from washington patty callahan has this report. it's a remarkable statistic 20500000 americans are out of work numbers not seen since the great depression almost 15 percent of the country's workers looking for help from the government but because of the way it's counted the number is likely closer to 20 percent of the country's workforce out of their jobs these are not just numbers they are people who are suffering well not in the. financial and also makes things. or it and all sorts of.

you know making aren't out and the number is likely higher because of old filing systems many people have yet to be able to file for unemployment data samone has been trying for 2 months ariane of patients i'm still one of the millions i do understand. but it's ridiculous some politicians are anxious to reopen the economy like i was governor trying to force people back to work if you are an employer and you offer to bring your employee back to work and they decide not to do that saval and terry. what's the word i'm looking for part of a quit ok a voluntary so we don't have it happen very often it's a voluntary quit and so therefore they would not be eligible for the unemployment the employment money and the us president is promising a quick rebound as well we're going to rebuild it we're going to rebuild it back.

as fast as we can i think we're going to have an incredible transition. but transition leads to 4th quarter 3rd quarter i call it transition will start to see that it's already happening but economists are doubtful saying it could take years to get the economy back to where it was and it will be much longer for the unemployed workers you know for previous research like research in the great depression a great recession that workers who lose their jobs during a downturn are a long time to get active. so in a great recession it's like young workers young workers took about 10 years to get back to the level of hurting all of this could have a big impact and one job in particular his if the numbers stay this way no ever i think he will lose no president has ever been reelected with with numbers like this i mean they weren't nearly this bad when the 1st president bush was defeated for reelection in 1902 or when jimmy carter was defeated for reelection in 1980

a fight for his political survival for many of the 20 plus 1000000 americans out of work a daily struggle to stay financially afloat pedicle hain al-jazeera see the pictures there fatal caring up of food banks i spoke to jerome to faneuil about that earlier he works for city harvest which picks up excess food and distributes it to those in need in new york he says people have never needed charity before are not depending on services like this. after that pandemic you've seen that there's really been a strain on our food service our message the food network where some of our programs are seeing that there's an increase of demand by 30 percent percent of our food distributions a lot of them are seeing families that have never had to turn to appear at your soup kitchen line up and they're really just trying to balance that growing demand with really some of the prices are trying to change their operations or so so this is saying we better ask this 1902 so we seen of full spectrum of different economic

disasters like the recession natural disasters like sandy we also saw oil and employment was at its best and still want to employment was at its best we saw some 1200000 new yorkers basically security and we saw 2500000 new yorkers that didn't have enough in savings to respond to an emergency or that didn't have enough money to balance their grocery expenses with their housing expenses so that was before but 1000 so what that really shows us is that a lot of families that are fully employed and i heard the story before people who had 2 jobs were of fortunately a paycheck away from being in the process of poverty that they may have never asked donald trump is also offered his predictions on how many american lives might be lost to this pandemic right now the 76000 people have died in the number of confirmed infections approaching 1300000 trumpets also said the u.s. must continue its efforts to reopen the qana me in spite of the ficus what i can

say is if we did it the different way if we when heard if we just said let's wing it we would have been talking about numbers that would have been unsustainable and unacceptable you look on the screens you look on television today and you see. body bags and you see mass graves. and we maybe target about 95000 people out of italy we may be juggling about something more than that. and the united states is blocking efforts by the u.n. security council to agree to a resolution on the pandemic negotiations have been going on for weeks and the u.n. secretary general called for a global ceasefire to help fight the virus diplomatic editor james bays has the story. here stonier the current president of the security council invited other members to an unofficial meeting to mark the 75th anniversary of the end of the war

in europe speak 945 also marked the birth of the united nations and the multilateral system but it's a system that many believe has failed to respond in a unified manner to cope with 19 it's now 6 weeks since the u.n. secretary general made this call the fury of the vials illustrates the folly of war that is why today i am calling for an immediate global ceasefire in all corners of the worlds. it is time to put armed conflict on lockdown and focus together on the to fight of our lives in the weeks since then an unseemly battle behind the scenes with the security council unable to agree on the words or resolution to back the secretary general's call after president trump said he would cut future funding to the world health organization u.s. negotiators blocked any reference to the w.h.o. in the resolution while china threatened to veto any resolution that didn't mention

it this latest version of the u.n. draft resolution includes compromise language it's the references to world health organization it talks about the united nations and its specialized health agencies in reality there's only one of those and it is the w.h.o. negotiators thought they had the agreement of both china and the u.s. to this text but when senior trumpet ministration officials in washington saw it they objected taking us back to stage one deadlock james plays out just era of the united nations want to talk more about some of these diplomatic battles battles with razor on who has a program associate in the us china relations program at the wilson center which is a washington based think tank she's in gaithersburg maryland for us read this whole china versus the u.s. thing i mean it was actually going on pretty covert 19 was in a trade wars and who was to blame for all of that sort of thing and now it almost

seems this is a strange way to say but it's convenient that this now fits into that sort of narrative that battle between these 2 powers. yes and the really can texture lies in factor is that coben i think is a large scale problem there's a slow recovery period outlook that really really needs complex very slow to take policy solutions and this is something that neither china nor the united states can really fully avoid because china at this point the case number is dropping but what you do see domestically from chinese politicians from china is commercial sector is that they're trying to encourage people to start spending money because if they don't hike up the consumption right then it's going to make their economic recovery. more difficult especially since.

their hospitality foodservice and a lot of other service sectors were hit hard by the conflict 1993 thing already i think there were numbers out yesterday or the day before that there was an increase in exports exports already that the factories are firing up again china has to project that for the rest of the world isn't it. yes because china is currently manufacturing a lot of sort of essential goods medical equipment and supplies that. the uptick is expected but again the service sector and other. industries impacted by the slowdown that are going to really. take a hit on the economy and the labor and wages associated with those factors

raise far as the whole u.s. versus china narrative goes how do you see that playing out because when donald trump says a lot of things he says oh we're want to get damages from china over this because they let it happen and they might have created themselves and all that how much of that do you think is just sort of hot air on his part or is this actually going to further affect the u.s. china relationship. so in looking at the domestic political stakes that china and the united states have in constructing and amplifying narratives on this i think it's in both leaderships interests to really stick to this binary framework this us versus them china versus the west is really simple narrative. point out a really concrete adversary and in the environment of you know mutual suspicion hostility that really makes it sort of easier for these

political narratives to operate china if you look at ways we chat and chinese social media and even some conventional media conspiracy theory and that the united states originated the virus is very very common and easy to find in there and of course you know in the united states we had the. lab theory which is also uncorroborated sort of circulating i think that both of these types of narratives are more serve more of a purpose to bolster political legitimacy in domestic spaces but as we've seen in international spaces at the u.n. with different trade and diplomatic partners that they're pretty. fed up with this kind of tension when covert 1000 is

a bigger problem than that isn't it rose on this from the wilson center in washington great talking to you thank you thanks. to europe where you leaders are pushing for the blocks external borders to remain shots to non-essential travel least until mid next month you countries started blocking foreigners from entering in march for the time being though only health care workers and researches from non e.u. nations can and. in the news ahead a major operation begins to bring thousands of indian workers stuck abroad back home. and why corona virus outbreak a prison in colombia is causing fear beyond the walls authenticity.

some of them on the big side some lovely downpours coming in across much of malaysia and we got some wet weather to pushing up across the marcher that's going to make its way up into the andaman sea some very heavy rain coming through here as is the case to into the southwest of india for much of india is hot and sunny with a heat wave to the northwest. expelled from their base in jordan in lebanon and left in the political wilderness rebellion was rising in the ranks of the p.l.o. but was this just another inevitable step on the road to victory this is a part of this long march to overcome that just for the conflict that would cost on a fad his leadership in life. chronicling the turbulent story of the struggle for a palestinian home. p.l.o. history of a revolution on al-jazeera. this

is al jazeera and these are the top stories u.s. unemployment has surged to 14.7 percent in april the highest rate in almost 90 years more than $20000000.00 jobs were wiped out during the month as coronavirus shut down the economy. the u.s. has blocked efforts by the u.n. security council to agree to a pandemic resolution diplomats have been trying to back a call from the u.n. secretary general for among other things a global cease fire and the e.u. wants a ban on non-essential travel to europe to be extended to the middle of next month e.u. countries started blocking foreigners from entering in the middle of march. thousands

of indian nationals are being repatriated from around the world special flights have been chartered to bring back experts from singapore cut up the u.a.e. and saudi arabia their goal is to bring home at least 400000 citizens into naval ships have also been deployed to get people back from the maltese many indians have been stranded abroad due to coronavirus travel restrictions. and human rights groups say indian officials have stopped handing over the bodies of kashmiri find his children battles with indian forces in indian administered kashmir reportedly being buried in unmarked graves the government is blaming the coronavirus pandemic for not allowing a proper burial more from imran khan. they come to pay their condolences to the family that has him shafi but a disabled teenager killed by indian troops on monday his parents were allowed to go to the funeral where he was buried in an unmarked grave at

a government burial place 40 kilometers away from the family home and not in his local cemetery the family say he wasn't a fighter and complained they won't be and to visit his grave like they would if it was buried in a local cemetery wasn't a mystery to us all idea come a guess is good if they handed us the dead body the family members his father and his sisters sometimes could visit his grave in the future such attacks will happen again but we demand that this practice shouldn't be repeated with other people. but it is being repeated families of kashmiris killed say the indian authorities routinely bury their dead in government designated graveyards one fighter known as were killed or be dark was buried a 120 kilometers away from his family says ups also funny that they didn't let us see his face not even after getting martyr how much can a mother's heart tolerate how much patience will it show now the mother wants to see his grave but even that is not being alone she doesn't know where the grave is

what is this are we so guilty that they won't even let us see our son. in contrast and you know army soldiers who were killed in action are given full military honors india's leaders came to tell the world of the brave sacrifices they say their soldiers made hundreds. for the government's blaming the coronavirus pandemic for not handing over the bodies to bereaved families. until there is no threat of coronavirus the bodies of the dead will not be given human rights groups are skeptical we feel that the mean issue for government is that they're very very scared of the spectacle which these funerals could. because thousands of people come out and own these dead militants and rally behind them so they don't want to be sure to the people of india and internationally that there's anything happening in kashmir so this is a they're taking they're taking an excuse of course to. implement

a policy which they otherwise would have not been able to do. once the coronavirus can then it is over the indian authorities will be faced with a choice continue to bury rebel fighters and others killed in government burial grounds or allow their families to arrange funerals as before many christian aires under indian administration are hopeful there will be a reversal of policy they've been under lockdown since last august when the indian government ended the region's tanami critics say the indian government is imposing even more draconian measures in one car or does it on to other news in libya's un recognized government has launched air strikes on one khalifa haftar his positions after his forces fired shells into the capital tripoli the government says it struck half a controlled areas near an airbase southwest of tripoli this is an attempt to stop hafter from using the base for assault on the city shells landed at the turkish and italian embassies on thursday and at least

a dozen civilians have been killed in may. now the death of a prominent tribal leader in saudi arabia has thrown the spotlight on tensions over the kingdom's new mega city project called me on financial concerns are mounting about the city's future too as a summer binge of aid reports. this is when saudi officials reported 300 over the body over. to his tribe his family denies the official narrative that of the regime was a terrorist who was killed after opening fire at security forces. and in videos uploaded on the internet he complained that he was being asked to leave his ancestral land a rare public defiance to a royal decree. that if. i am from out of here i but where mohammed bin solomon wants to build his new neon projects so many villages have started the phases of displacing people in this area these are sort of houses evaded start forcing people to leave their houses of course the people here are all

rejecting this and refusing displacement i'm still not sure whether muslims are welcome to be here or not the tribe in northwest in the blue province is in the part of a mega project called neil mm a 500000000000 dollar city to be built from scratch on the picture rescue at sea and of the regime said he was standing in its way. this is when he was killed for refusing to comply in a shootout with security forces. the saudi crown prince is ambitious vision 2030 and the construction in the new york project it snags since its announcement in 2017 satellite images of pain by al-jazeera sure that in the last 3 years just a few royal palaces have been built the small airport for private planes is far from the grand junction promised in the marketing campaign 3 years ago. activists say there is major corruption involved through

a decree which transfers land to mohammed bin sole man that's then bought by the saudi state for new york and the people of the land are evicted the confiscation of the land will not be stopped the g.m. will take them and it will it take to be able to destroy their houses but there is no and i was no financial ability to build and was not able to convince international investors to put money in this region c n n since the killing of casualty most of the international companies. decided not. to come in such arabia and and the best in any project so neither the region comes most or it's not good because of why international investment the kingdom is likely to borrow $58000000000.00 to balance its budget and with record lower prices additional finances for ambitious projects are unlikely. progress and a failure to attract investment was before the coronavirus pandemic and the global economic slowdown if that doesn't change the prince's dream could remain just that
