10:11 am
thing that can tell you that this is somewhat of a protest since all the white police that are gathered here this is one of phone calls main shopping and financial districts and there are dozens of right police but it's hard for them to tell who are the protesters because what used to discern the protesters before from the ordinary people of hong kong was the masks that kept them on not a mess so now also adding to the complication are the social distancing measures only 8 people are allowed to gather in a group this is part of the hong kong government's fight against the spread of coronavirus and so that means people would gather for very short periods that shout shout slogans that sing songs and then disperse as quickly now police can then addition to arresting them for illegal gathering at this protest has not been sanctioned can also find them before breaking the social distancing rules next so this seems to be somewhat of a start to what the protesters are calling protests the same but it's it's pretty
10:12 am
much very hard to tell which direction it's going it's somewhat of a damp start at best to describe it right and whatever the start is what sparked this this new impetus for protest. i'm sorry we lost our audio connection with via the to hong kong or we'll try to get the view back a little bit later as the day goes on all right still ahead here on al-jazeera the plan to get people back to work in the united kingdom it won't be business as usual . a dream home only a dream why nigerians are finding it hard to buy a home. we

days of mourning. so you know look at the u.s. state of new york is investigating it more than 70 cases of a possible coronavirus related syndrome affecting children symptoms include swollen blood vessels and heart problems 3 children have died from the condition we were laboring under the impression that young people were not affected by covered 90 and that was actually good news right the vulnerable populations were older people people with cold morbidity but. the one of the few rays of good news was young people weren't affected we're not so sure that that is the fact anymore. toddler elementary school children are presenting symptoms similar to our saki disease or toxic shock like syndrome where the condition has baffled medical professionals because only some of
10:17 am
the children tested positive for the virus christensen amy has more now from new york. the governor said that these children did not go to the hospital presenting symptoms of coded 19 the symptoms that they showed when they visited their health care practitioners were fever and skin rashes and swollen glands in extreme cases what happens is. inflammation of the blood vessels and heart damage these are symptoms that are associated with cows saki disease as he said and toxic shock syndrome these are really rare diseases so the fact that there's been 73 of them in new york state is considered very unusual and suspect and then when they went back and tested these children afterwards they found out that the majority of them had been exposed to the corona virus and had antibodies in their system so now they are looking at a possible link between the corona virus and these children and the outbreak of the phenomenon that they're suffering the centers for disease control has actually
10:18 am
asked new york state now to develop a response criteria for this phenomenon basically what are the symptoms and how should it be treated there also partnering with other institutions here in new york to see if there's a possible genetic link between these cases that weakness perhaps triggered by the corona virus but really a lot of questions a lot of concern but no real answers right now certainly worrying situation for parents who thought that their kids at least were protected from from any serious consequences with this virus. but america's top infectious disease disease expert on steve she is in self quarantined off to come into contact with someone who had copd 98 key member of the white house response team will go into what's being described as modified quarantine to make a risk contact with 2 other officials on the tonsils will go into isolation for for 2 weeks. the number of corona virus cases globally has published 4000000 with the

u.s. accounting for around a 3rd and now hold. the former president barack obama has described donald trump's handling of the pandemic as an absolute chaotic disaster bamma made the remarks in a private conference call with former members of his administration he says that trump's team appears to have a mind set of what's in it for me and to heck with everyone else the u.s. has reported about 1300000 infections and almost 80000 deaths eric ham is a us political analyst and has written a book on the republican party and he says that president obama's comments may have been strategic. we're talking about a former president speaking to about 3000 of his former employees people who worked for him in the white house people who understand acutely how important it is to keep things and work in the fact that the president makes such biting comments about the current occupant of the white house you one has to six-pack that the
10:20 am
president actually wanted these comments to get out the question is why would he want them out and why would he want them out now given that the united states is confronting this virus this pandemic knowing that the president certainly will attack and again you americans are still left reeling trying to basically fend for themselves as to the pandemic is reaching now upwards of 80000 people and the number of deaths that have been caused by this virus president barack obama is attempting to do at this moment in time right now is to unify the democratic party and to also signal not only to those who work in the administration but also to those as you mentioned who may be who may be on the fence right now who may be not ready to actually get behind a joe biden's candidacy i think what the former president is doing is signaling that he is working for the democratic nominee and that he needs everyone on board and he's making it clear that he too will be working as he said and as it was
