12:05 pm
me now from moscow so tell us what the commemorations have been like considering there drastically scaled down from what they would have there. yes moscow looks very unusual for this big big day for russia its hopes and empty this was supposed to be a big showcase event for russian president vladimir putin many world leaders were invited some of them considering actually to come like french president and you know crown but as epidemics start to grow and russia in march the kremlin had to make a very difficult difficult decision to cancel them for a day and all the mass events now these victory day celebration is a very big thing for kremlin and a big support for it and let him or putin is having some tough time now 'd as the recent poll shows that his regime approvals numbers all the time low and the
12:06 pm
economy is deteriorating so now the celebrations and you have to because it's proved to which means that parade didn't happen but we had them every inch of a show of that 47 russian cities including moscow and this big massive event called immortal regiment which brings out to the streets hundreds of thousands of people annually could carry portraits of their relatives who died in the world war 2 'd also happening online like to put in gave a speech today to the nation 'd saying that 'd 'd this times. russians should stay together and in this 'd they do they're invincible. 'd 'd so let's talk about what is happening specifically with the pandemic oksana and these numbers there's been more than 10000 new cases a day for 7 straight days what is russia's plan what are they doing what are the types of restrictions that they're putting in place to hopefully get a handle on this. growing
12:07 pm
and the figure some growing all across the country. russian president nevertheless say that the country should very gradually start releasing the restriction measures because the ecb economist simply content hold it any much longer so there should be some movement but all the regions will have to make their own decisions when they're going to implement that depending on the situation there now moscow is the worst hit in the country about $100000.00 cases of coffee that actually registered here and believe that in reality it might be 3 times more than that and he prolonged the self isolation regime for moscow right till the end of spring so everyone has to stay home and take your coats if they want to travel by public transport wear face mask in public places but at the same time he allowed industries and construction sites to work how that go into the fact that madame
12:08 pm
except to say but what the other regions will decide is also a question because their situation is just about to start getting worse accounts on the ground with the latest there from moscow sana thank you. the delicate balance between keeping people healthy and protecting the economy is playing out in pakistan the government has started lifting lockdown measures just as the number of daily infections soars there are 1500 more cases reported in pakistan on saturday bringing the total to more than $27000.00 if there is the economy could be slipping into recession or has the latest on the capitalism. there's a lot of confusion here because the prime minister. and markets remain closed. down. and if. however during the morning we have been opening up
12:09 pm
a. great point there traders. they should listen to the prime minister or the administration now the government decided to go in for you. because of the heavy pressure on the economy. really have different. a living difficulty made by the government. and it will be important sort of effect. on the. $7000.00 already. despite the fact. that government had gone into are down. and even going to gauge them all the. markets have been
12:10 pm
reopened and now everybody. south korea's mayor has ordered all bars and clubs closed over concerns the virus could be spreading and so. businesses specifically in seoul a country has began relaxing so social distancing measures after a drop in cases but gatherings and entertainment venues have now been banned after new clusters of infections were linked to some bars and clubs thousands of the news have now shut their doors south korea has reported more than 10000 cases it's going to difficult hala who is in hong kong what also we know about these new restrictions that certainly show on friday the health ministry had recommended bars nightclubs and other such venues to refrain from operating across the country but as you said on saturday souls' mayor took it one step further essentially shuttering all bars clubs and entertainment venues where
12:11 pm
there would be massive gatherings now this is because on thursday man tested positive coronavirus for corona virus and it was revealed that on may 1st on the night of may 1st since i'm a seconds he had gone to about 5 clubs and bars now may 1st and may 2nd was during a long holiday weekend and people across the country were in the capital enjoying the easing of restrictions in the country and so now it's believed that kids are now in new cases across the country from that particular cause cluster so far about 40 have been identified but the prime minister says that they are going to try and trace people connected to that cost and it could be as many as 1500 people that they need to test to show. feeling a concern that the government to let its guard down too soon.
12:12 pm
you know show south korea had a very different approach in february it was the epicenter of the coronavirus only 2nd to china with a number of new cases they managed to bring it down through aggressive testing aggressive quarantining making it very easy for people to test and to contain people but they never actually issued a lockdown but they did it restrict operations in places where there would be mass gatherings such as bars pubs religious places churches temples etc but people and that seemed to have worked so towards the end of april cases came down in fact in may the number of new cases started drilling though there were only a few cases every day in the single digits so they decided that they were going to even lift these measures due to the fact that they didn't want to impact the economy too much and people were getting tired of social distancing and so on the weekend of may 1st that they started easing those restrictions and that was around
12:13 pm
the time where this 29 year old man had visited these parson and pubs and essentially started this cluster the sense now is there is a sense that this could be a lesson or a test case for many other countries which are opening up countries like germany which had a similar trajectory to south korea china hong kong which is also opening up this week and there's a sense that perhaps people should still be social distancing and even though the numbers may have gone down the danger would not have gone away richelle ok to the gopalan there in hong kong thank you. so at on al jazeera reports threats watch out in force of fiction beneath the shiny veneer of saudi arabia's planned legacy. and we tell you why the u.s. blocked a u.n. security council resolution on the pandemic.

12:18 pm
a racist regime where they have some privileges that other people's on top so when somebody who is a son of the king go and disappear and this is not the 1st case out of the order flow that means that when you go to the normal people under like the pioneer of the law i am at now by them prison a couple of days ago because he wasn't treated right and medically and the same hand he's been there i'm a good set man is what we get new york a big city where he's spending 500000000000 dollars were sold these are suffering from property and the people who are living in saudi arabia don't have as some of them of for example from the rohingya. quatermain we would have been living there for 30 years and they don't have a power or a national chair at that so when we broke about the protests this princes were held and ritz carlton at the beginning. all the people like it can you imagine any
12:19 pm
country where a corrupt person would go and be held in a hotel they were all empty until to put the man this is. well this is an example that screams that there is a problem in saudi arabia it's a socialist at that was as attack a study for the symmetric rain where we were we were brought in the south to some of the issues you're talking about but what else can you tell us specifically about this press. all the princes. he was talk some different positions. he used to be close when there's a tradition in saudi arabia when your brother is the king like what happened to my medusa man you get a lot of problems so at a certain point before one hamad bin said might come. the sons of king abdullah are used to how about a power that's what i meant when someone have attacked them all of them. some of them are suffering more than the others because of their stance in the prison and we have to be clear this kind of leaking and this kind of operation it's not 100
12:20 pm
percent. you can't be sure of what's happening and better present lack of law and lack of transparency in that project but at the end of the day this prince or any other of the 10 percent they are suffering a great unjust this and this should be highlighted ok exactly and that. the knowledge he and this big family like you have thousands of them you told me it doesn't matter but it shows how will our lack of responsibility mohammed wilson and health check so close it's on hunt ok until it's all a deal adela sais i thank you so much for joining us and i appreciate you for highlighting these issues thank you. but the death of a prominent tribal leader and saudi arabia has thrown the spotlight on tensions over the kingdom stay megacity project a deal where he was shot by security forces 3 weeks ago after refusing to give up his home to make way for that planned city and antle concerns are mounting about
12:21 pm
the project as well as some of the age of 8 has more. this is when saudi officials reported 300 over the body of a blow to his tribe his family denies the official narrative that up to him 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 surveyed start forcing people to leave their houses of course the people here are all rejecting this and refusing displacement i'm still not sure with the muslims a 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
12:22 pm
a $500000000000.00 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 to a degree which transfers land to mohammed been sold man that's then bought by the saudis state for naomi 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 effect to be able to destroy their houses but there is
12:23 pm
no and i was no financial ability to build and was not able to convince international investors to put money in this region since and since the killing of casualty most of the international companies. decided not. not to come in such arabia and and and the best in any project so neither the region can sponsor it's not going to be sponsored by international investments the kingdom is likely to borrow 58000000000 dollars to balance its budget and with record low oil 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 osama bin job made there. many questions remain about a failed coup attempt in venezuela 2 former u.s. servicemen accused of attempting to overthrow the government have yet to appear in

12:27 pm
really. paid to what was going to pay whom how much is $1.00 of the many missing pieces of this puzzle at this stage there's no hard evidence that nicholas schmidle staged the incursions to implicate his enemies only the nagging question of why the plan went ahead even after it had become public knowledge you see in human al-jazeera but on protests in anger in the u.s. state of georgia over the killing of an unarmed black man police arrested 2 suspects on thursday after a public outcry and 2 months after the shooting so now really it is the hunt. the black man and his razor demanding justice for 25 year old a model operator who was shot and killed in february its mother says that he was out jogging in suburban brunswick the 2 suspects who are white men were charged with murder this week they told police they thought he was a burglar police have said there could be more arrests in the case and ited states
