tripoli are becoming more common there's no absolutely no way that a military takeover would have been possible without some civilian casualties the problem at this stage is that the social and at their mercy or any perception let's say of the legitimacy of the libyan our armed forces or of the potential military leader have completely dissipated from most of the residents in tripoli because they realize that if previously some of them believe that this is actually a cohesive disciplined army now a year on having seen the way this conflict in for and having witnessed. both sides really behave particularly the libyan our armed forces there really equate them with them and with the militias that are in the capital people in the city have lived with shelling drone strikes and other area attacks from halftimes forces while the ground war. comes to their homes. so really international institutions

along with the united nations have been calling on her father's forces to refrain from attacking civilian facilities and residential areas such calls have largely been ignored as this scale over tax rises by the day many civilians here are blaming the international community for him are doing enough to protect them. tripoli. russia's president vladimir putin has led scaled down celebrations to mark 75 years since the end of world war 2 in europe traditional commemorations were postponed due to the pandemic and for the 7th day in a row russia has registered 10000 new infections here lopez holly on reports. instead of a military parade on moscow's red square russians marked 53 day in solitude covered

19 has changed everything the streets routinely used to display russia's military power are empty no tanks no music no marches. president vladimir putin place flowers at the a trial flame near the kremlin walls and for the 1st time in recent hears western delegates who were due to attend the event canceled. addressing the nation he called for unity. during the year we know and they firmly believe that we're going to believe and we stand together. a military air show replace the ground parade with jets flying over 47 cities across russia. during the 2nd world war the then soviet union lost about 25000000 people more than any other country. yet. we probably don't deserve a parade on the the circumstances everyone is fighting scared of the virus whereas

the veterans were going under bullets and minds. with social distancing traditions have turned to technology instead of families carrying the photograph of a relative lost in the war like previous years portraits were uploaded online for a digital commemoration. when you deprive me i don't mind that the celebrations were cancelled people will celebrate at home and watch the parade from previous years. but the president was counting on the parade to mark the 75th anniversary with his approval ratings hitting a record low there is frustration over the handling of the pandemic as russia becomes a new hot spot for the virus at home a weak economy and a slump in oil prices are making things worse. the economy is not doing well i know a number of at the crisis measures have been taken and i hope it will help us to survive the situation year. abroad its involvement in the war in syria and libya

has fuel tensions with adversaries the president was hoping the parade would help his political standing and the country's might now. but as it marks the end of the 2nd world war russia now faces a new invisible enemy. al-jazeera. was a different scene and bellows for thousands of people gathered in a tightly packed crowd for ve day celebrations the country has not introduced any social distancing measures or travel restrictions on time president alexander lukashenko has dismissed fares of course on a virus as psychosis at least 121 people and others have died and more than 21000 have been infected. in savannah thousands of people have cycled through the capital to protest against the government's response to the pandemic accusing the prime minister of taking advantage of the crisis to increase police powers and curtail civil liberties also angered by local reports of government corruption in the purchase of medical supplies so very big and even as lock down restrictions in late

april. italians are being warned to maintain social distancing even though restrictions have been partially lifted in rome people were seen gathering at a popular drinking spot some without masks most bars were offering takeaway options and in milan police patrolled areas which would usually be packed with tourists the city's mayor says the area will be shut down again if people don't respect the distancing rules you know saudis in madrid have told many streets in protest in 2 pedestrian only zones to ensure people maintain physical distance while outside exercising the city remains under lockdown midges along with barcelona the government says spain's 2 biggest cities don't yet meet the criteria to ease restrictions put into the u.k. and the government is to announce that all incoming travelers will have to isolate for 2 weeks the restriction is expected to take effect at the end of the month

breaking the rules could face fines or deportation brennan has the latest. looking over my shoulder here i'm in richmond on thames a very affluent part of southwest london and people are already to a certain extent taking matters into their own hands sunbathing sitting out on the grass essentially in defiance of the stay at home order that the government has put into place i have to say the hup in police patrols out here and as long as you're not spreading out a picnic and planning to stay all afternoon the police here are taking a very lenient view and that is part of the problem that boris johnson has a very delicate delicate balancing act to come up with he doesn't want to release the pressure on the lock down too much too much because he fears a 2nd wave of infection but at the same time he needs to give some hope for people here in the u.k. who've been locked down for 6 weeks so far and so what's expected on sunday is a very modest relaxation the thing that's come forward in the newspapers and from downing street sources today is this idea of

a 2 week self isolation for people who arrive at the ports in the u.k. having to give an address where they will stay for those 2 weeks after arriving in facing the prospect of spot checks by the police and potentially a 1200 dollar fine if they fail to abide by that self-imposed isolation it's a difficult one and it's certainly all eyes will be on boris johnson on sunday as through whether this comes to pass whether it is predicted and 2nd of all what else he might say that as far as for the relaxation the expectation there is for modest very very modest differences. infections. restrictions despite a record number of 1000 cases. and we look at the vaccine trials that could see people intentionally infected with the kind of virus.

the president has granted himself and the country's security agency's new powers under the state of emergency the measures include the ability to suspend university classes but also include more power to ban protests celebrations and other forms of assembly including public and even private meetings the government says these missions needed to deal with the coronavirus pandemic but human rights groups disagree and say the health crisis is being used to expand district emergency law they have also been renewing calls for the release of political prisoners softer a filmmaker held for 2 years without trial died in a cairo prison earlier this week the prosecutor said he had died of alcohol poisoning from drinking hand sanitizer after mistaking it for water. well let's speak now to timothy called us who is in gone new jersey in the us he is

a known resident fellow at the tara institute for middle east policy thank you so much for your time human rights watch is saying that only 5 of the 18 amendments that have been made. are actually tied to to public health so what are the wrist and how concerning is this for you. i mean this is part of the ongoing trend to expand executive power and kind of deconstruct checks and institutional strengthen egypt so yes some of these things are actually tied to the public health concerns like the ability to ban large gatherings which is something we're seeing across the globe. and and controls on. businesses and focusing goods to necessary sectors as well as regulations on hospitals but there are other elements such as empowering military prosecutions of civilians who are

arrested by by the military during curfew hours for example or something like that that are that have no medical necessity and these are if there is any sort of suspicion of criminal acts they should be handled by the civilian authorities and there's been a persistent problem that existed under mubarak it existed after the uprising and actually we saw an uptick in military trials of civilians at that time and it's continued to this day. and they continue to expand the number of cases under which military trials can take place and the justifications for it. so it's unfortunately a continuation of an ongoing problem give us a view as if you can and little bit of context of you know why human rights watch for example is concerned about this and that to organization. really has a litany of human rights abuses ongoing in egypt what's the context in which this is all happening. sure i mean egypt in some form or another has been in

a state of emergency for over 60 years with very few respites from that. oftentimes the authorities will use real problems and as an excuse to dramatically expand its powers and justify series of measures that may have nothing to do with the problem in question as we're seeing in some of the measures undertaken in this particular emergency law authorization and so human rights watch is rightfully concerned that the authorities once again are trying to add to their toolkit in terms of repression under the pretext of protecting public health. and the reality is that unfortunately we're seeing 2 sets of measures some that are legitimate and some that aren't and a very reasonable fear of abuse because we've seen. abuse of authority be a persistent feature of authoritarianism in egypt for several decades and the

current situation is one of the most repressive periods in egypt's modern history so human rights watch is going to raise those concerns and worries about what what could transpire from this new set of authorizations and they're totally legitimate in doing so. the current president has been rolling back freedoms in egypt for the pandemic without any real consequence i mean why would he wait until the pandemic to do all of this. well i mean it's it's again it's a continuation of that ongoing process right i mean we saw that after the coup we saw in new powers to repress protests with the protests law we saw a constitution come into place that allowed for military trials of civilians in 2014 we've seen. emergency laws put into effect with increasing authorizations for a variety of repressive tactics the constitutional amendments of 2018 also expanded

executive power at the expense of the legislature and the judiciary is independence and so again it's this is a it's an ongoing process egypt has i mean it's something that's a feature of egypt's authoritarian history is trying to make its authoritarianism legal so much of the authoritarian activity undertaken by the state is underpinned by a legislative framework that the government can use to justify its actions and so when it's criticized they'll say well we're just enforcing the law and we're a nation of laws and so but the but these laws of course oftentimes violate the constitutional protections of freedom such a stream of assembly. freedom of the press freedom of belief. and unfortunately there is really no serious judicial review of constitutional violations oftentimes and so the government's been able to do this and expand these powers repeatedly and have

a lesser consenting development thank you for your time timothy called us their pleasure a resident fellow at the top of the institute for middle east policy. a prominent member of the saudi royal family has reportedly been detained by authorities in saudi arabia human rights watch says prince abdullah was detained at the end of march and hasn't been heard from since he is a son of the late king abdullah and the former head of the country's red crescent society saudi authorities have been condemned to nationally for a spate of arrests targeting prominent business people while family members and current and former officials. well human rights watch deputy director for the middle east said that despite waves of criticism the moonless behavior of saudi authorities during the defector rule of mohamed bin salmond continues unabated now we have to add prince fi cell to the hundreds detained in saudi arabia without a clear legal basis. the emir of kuwait says his country faces

a great and unprecedented challenge because of the drop in global oil prices shakes . says he's calling on the government and parliament to unite cut spending and develop plans to reduce oil dependence has already announced cuts of more than $1000000.00 barrels a day in line with the opec plus agreement to reduce oil production globally but even before the pandemic the gulf state was struggling to balance its books in january a projected its biggest budget deficit for this year of over $30000000000.00 according to its own oil ministry it would have needed to be at $86.00 a barrel to balance it on saturday crude was trading at around $30.00 a barrel which if colgan is a professor at brown university and author of the book pitch aggression when oil causes war he says the drop in demand for oil is a major concern for all gulf states especially after kuwait announcement. it's

a remarkable statement but i think it suggests in kuwait and throughout the gulf some worry among leaders about peak oil demand and whether that day is coming soon or may have in fact already come where the world oil demand starts to decline as other sources of energy pick up saudi arabia and all of the gulf monarchies are facing real fiscal challenges saudi arabia in particular making that move to pull back from yemen was related i think to its fiscal constraints and its desire to diversify its economy away from oil but that has proven to be a very difficult task in the past from the 1970 to on words petro states have been trying to diversify but it is proving to be a very very difficult task and of course all of the countries are dependent on rebounding oil prices and as the united states in particular struggles to contain

the coronavirus there's a lot of concern here about how cautious consumers are going to be no in seeds airlines in particular rebounding any time soon because of the difficulty in public health human to the say saudi arabia has supported hundreds of somali refugees to their side of the boat who they say the group of more than 800 has now been quarantined in the area of husband of called on aid agencies to help saying they don't have the capacity to look after them all home al assad has more from santa. the hold these run supreme council for humanity called the nation has called on the refuses commission to uphold its responsibility before the this big number of refugees that have been deported by the saudi arabia to the has been where the whole these have. set up. what he can say as isolation center

for them as the afraid that the could could be infected by the cold in 19 as the country couldn't tolerate another battle on another front the yemenis here are the most vulnerable society especially over there 5 years of war has really impacted the humanitarian and economic situation here in the county there is a big number of refugees in yemen they are traveling through yemen to saudi arabia from saudi arabia to europe and america as the believe that the traveling to the dreamland in the in this region which is saudi arabia. be go through difficulties and also many of them have been killed during this risky trip and the 6 people have died in afghanistan after security forces opened fire on

protesters journalist into police officers were among those killed nearly 100 people in court province had gathered at the governor's office demanding 8 i want help to cope with crime of virus restrictions. indian that officials have stopped handing over the bodies of kashmiri fighters killed in battles an indian and minister of kashmir are being buried and unmarked graves the government is blaming the coronavirus pandemic for not allowing a probably aerial human rights groups are skeptical and one can reports. 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 able to visit his grave like they would if

it was buried in a local cemetery wasn't a mystery it was our idea come again is as 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 up close one huge area 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 are killed in action are given full military honors india's leaders keen to tell the world of the brave sacrifices they say their soldiers are made 100. for the government's blaming the corona via. as time demick for not turning over bodies to bereaved families because until there is no threat of coronavirus the bodies of the dead will not be given human rights groups are skeptical be feel that the mean issue for government is that they're very very scared of the spectacle which these funerals could hear because thousands of people come out and own these dead militants and rally behind them so they don't want to show to the people of india and internationally that there's anything happening in kashmir so this is a taking taking an excuse of course to. implement a policy which they otherwise would have not been able to do. what's the crime of ours kind of 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 for as before many christian areas under indian administration hopeful there will be a reversal of policy they've been under lockdown since last august when the indian government ended the region's. critics say the indian government is imposing even more draconian measures in monaco or does it construction workers are back on the job in parts of india some areas relax restrictions building has resumed on a metro line in the northern industrial city of country workers are being screened as they enter the site and numbers are being limited to allow for physical distance and nationwide lockdown is still in place until later this month but regions considered to be low risk are allowed to start opening up early the delicate balance between pig keeping people healthy and protecting the economy is going head to head in pakistan lockdown measures are being eased just as the number of daily

infections reaches new highs more than $1500.00 cases have been reported in the last 24 hours bringing the total to around $27000.00 close to $700.00 people have died while hard to has the latest from islamabad. august on has been in a state of log down for over a month now initiated hurting business states such as need people who are relying on making an extra amount of money because of the month of ramadan however the government said that it was taking a difficult decision to open up the business a factory however schools and colleges are going large congregation in order to be allowed the important thing now is what kind of effect this really have on august on. their time when the infection rates are writing within the country there are already warnings by the medical fraternity there such a move mayport extra pressure on pakistan them. medical facility that they will not

be a very good deal redish pandemic. the big worry is that if the situation gets worse in the next few days and the influx of coronavirus patients increases by tens of thousands then the whole health care system will collapse because we don't have many ventilators and we don't have the capacity to cope with a mounting crisis now the government is moving in a calculated man expecting the people to go observe the fop but we have been able to keep people regard ma oblivious to the danger and of the friend and their death god has going to be a rare danger for bar gets done. we understand that there is an increased threat of infection to people but we are also faced with an economic crisis lifting the lockdown will help us in a living for our family as people will be out to eat shopping and duff to eat the government can go to look down again and we won't object to it with the idea the

idea though the government has lifted the lockdown this will endanger more lives as no one here is following the standard operating procedures people here are also not taking it seriously. the move by the government to edith's strictures and to take pressure off of smaller trade we've been demanding reopening their businesses but didn't go through a move which i did go in danger and could lead to an alarming right and the number of. still ahead on now just where. we had never felt more fearful in 1st treated of. life in isolation is taking its toll mental health issues are on the rise during the pandemic. struggling to deal with the day's emergency shipment of confidence arrives in brazil not a stupid system. hello

that's a mainly clear conditions across much of the arabian peninsula has seen some clouds coming up in the last few hours is actually coming out from sudan ethiopia and some rain in it but not a huge amount what we'll see possibly as the old isolated shower or maybe a thunderstorm with the winds a strong to the north so again more blowing dust across much of iraq these northern central areas of sanity but it's a clear day sunday through the eastern end of the mediterranean some showers well up to the north clearing the way eastwards across the caspian sea and a bit of a repeat generally of a sunday say by monday time which is about $39.00 in riyadh $35.00 degrees in the hall the winds are still fairly brisk coming down from the north and the rain is a certainly much a feature still across the central areas of africa we've seen some very heavy rains across tanzania and kenya and it's really the coastal areas again as we go through sunday that will see the heaviest of these down poles and showers through eastern

and central as madagascar mostly care across much of south africa in fact a warm day on sunday in capetown with a high of 27 degrees celsius but again back across the central regions around the gulf of guinea the rains very extensive at times of course very heavy as well pushing also across into the democratic republic of congo similar story on monday the rains again developing late in the day fine in trying to cape town. rewind continues to care bring your people back to life i'm sorry we talked to it's on the best of al-jazeera documentaries. live close to the close below 0 like any other student rewind continues with. my neighborhood i was like screaming at the still closed we won't leave. my ultimate goal would be to do something very big for the based communication rewind on al-jazeera reporting in the field means i

often get to witness not just news this is breaking but also history as it's unfolding crossing from serbia to hungary to read one day i might be covering politics and relax around my covering protests. but what's most important to me is talking to people understanding what they are going through so that i can convey the headlines in the most human way possible. we believe everyone has a story worth hearing. watching out just there on her mind of our top stories this hour libyan warlord holy for half the us forces have attacks tripoli's only functioning airport with at least 80

rockets a libyan airways plane was hit nobody was on board 2 civilians died from shelling near the air force. egypt's president of the fatah r.c.c. has approved changes to the state of emergency would transform and security agencies expanded powers the government says the new measures are needed to combat the pride of our south break from the rights groups disagree with. pakistan has started lifting lockdown measures despite the number of daily infections reaching a new high there are fears over the state of the economy that it's slipping into a recession. the corona virus has infected more than 30 percent of the inmates and staff at a prison in central colombia affairs now the outbreak could expand to the rest of the city of via the sense you. see reports from bogota for now using your already was one of the most overcrowded prisons in colombia now it has become one of the main hotspots of coronavirus contagion and in 700 inmates in guards that so

far tested positive for more than 30 percent of the prison population detainee says he tested negative to the virus by remains held with the sick. there is no place here it's why so late the negative from the positive worried relatives outside did you think center say they feared the worst for me home my son tells me that it is very bad in sight that there are infected people on top of one another. there are no priorities for us were sleeping quarters it's a very bad situation the representatives of the prison staff say there is little that can be done at this point. considering the reduced space in the building the overcrowding it's been impossible to establish the sort of isolation zones required by the secretary of health in these cases and this obviously has made the virus easier to spread. officials now fear the outbreak could expand to the rest of the city of. in colombia spleens in our disinfecting surrounding neighborhoods.

fears of contagion of lead to riots in past weeks in other prisons in colombia. leaving dozens dead well our correspondent. here t. is also covering events in brazil the number of covered 19 deaths there has reached a daily high more than 750 people died in just 24 hours and was on a state has been the hardest hit hundreds of coffins have been sent to the regional capital as more funerals are expected more than 10000 people have died from the virus in brazil ok we can speak now to her so is this the pink then in terms of coronavirus cases for brazil. well came experts really say that we're so weeks away from reaching that peak in brazil a number of studies that were recently presented by brazilian

universities together with the for university in the u.k. are studying the curve of infection in brazil and they're saying not only that we're still weeks away from the peak but that the curve could be as deep as the one that we've seen in the united states that for weeks now it's been the epicenter of contagion across the world so it's truly green perspective for the country brazil with things getting pretty bad in a number of states there that are now seeing are entering a sort of crisis situation for the lack of care you need also the situation is very warry some in the amazon that has very little when it comes to health services yet this by the all day we see that the president. here both are

not 0 is still minimizing the effects as much as so much so that there was another rally in favor of reopening a number of states brazil in the capital. and the president said he was going to have a barbecue on saturday with 30 friends and i found your eyes quite a big question big can you sort of give us a picture of the situation across latin america. well it's very varied depending on the country in chile for example there are now had they now had 4 straight days of more than a 1000 new infections so that the government is very warry there there have been extensions of the quarantine in a number of countries here in colombia for example in argentina however they're

also studying the possibility of easing some of the restrictions in regions that haven't seen a large number of infections or no infections at all the same is the case here in colombia even here in the capital which is the epicenter as much as the number of infections across colombia are considering some easing on monday roughly 2000000 people would will go back to work in construction and manufacturing but right now there's a lot of worry because tomorrow is mother's day which is celebrated in quite thick suber into ways throughout latin america and countries fear crowding tomorrow with people celebrating mother's day. here in colombia has been the decision to keep cemeteries closed curfews have been imposed in the

number of cities in colombia there's a ban on the selling of alcohol throughout the weekend in mexico public plazas will be closed to to avoid people crowding to buy flowers so we're expecting a very different mother's day and people are very worried here that. people will be in the fire and the restrictive measures doing mother's thing thank you that. they're live from bogota. scientists are considering deliberately infecting healthy volunteers with covert 19 is part of if it's to fast track a vaccine and 2nd look at that process a vaccine is of course tied to medicine that trains the body's immune system it contains weakened or dead bacteria and viruses the vaccine is introduced into the body so that it can find it is these that it hasn't come into contact with before human trials normally happen in 3 phases in the 1st

a small number of volunteers given the vaccine to see if it's safe in the 2nd hundreds of volunteers are tested to see if the vaccine is effective and if it has any side effects in the 3rd phase thousands of vaccinated volunteers a study in places where they'd be exposed to the virus along with people without the exhibition to wait for those volunteers to be naturally exposed to the infection could take a long time so these trials speed out the persis by taking a smaller number of vaccinated volunteers and deliberately exposing them in this case to covert 19 dr dominic wilkinson is director of medical ethics at the university of oxford you hear center for practical ethics he says the potential benefits of human trials my outweigh the risks. the key issue that is posed by the pandemic is there's an urgent need to generate results so the normal pace of science which which proceeds very cautiously and slowly is far too slow waiting 5

years to develop a vaccine or longer is not is not a practical option so a challenge study might enable us to accelerate the process challenge studies have been used for quite some time with relatively minor illnesses like trying to develop vaccines against influenza or or colds or even malaria or most serious infection where there are treatments the tricky element of this 19 corona virus is of course that there is no treatment the challenge for quite a bit of early stage research that you don't know exactly what the effect might be and and sometimes that means that if you take part in research a subject a risk that nobody could have predicted. one of the one of the important things is of course that there are many people already being exposed to those exact same risks to take for example health care workers they are putting themselves at very

high risk of getting the virus many of the most of my colleagues will get the virus at some point but of course we think that's justified for the sake of the benefit that they offer in the context of the vaccine studies if those people are informed they know as much as we everybody knows about the virus and the risks of its contract ing it it would be ethical for them to consent to being willingly exposed to the virus is the hope that that accelerates a vaccine development. officials in turkey say the use of so-called contact traces has helped to control its corona virus outbreak more than 3600 people have died since march the mortality rate has been falling for 17 days sit in patiala reports on the treatment method that's getting the credit. this patient has just been transferred from the hospital's emergency service to the intensive care unit.
