12:03 pm
a military takeover would have been possible without some civilian casualties the problem this is the social and them as the or any perception 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 but particularly the libyan our armed forces they 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 the closer to their homes. several international institutions along with the united nations have been calling on half the us forces to refrain

12:05 pm
that's right nic as you can see here things seem to have calmed down this place is now full of shoppers or maybe protesters so that is part of the problem here as it is difficult for police to discern who is here to protest and i was here simply to enjoy one of hong kong's main tourist hotspots and shopping centers because to everyone in hong kong is now wearing a mask in the fight against the corona virus outbreak and before that was the way that police could discern who was a protester and who was not so what we've been seeing is a scene that's being played out in several shopping malls across hong kong about 4 or 5 major malls that protesters will come and gather they'll sing the chant slogans and police riot police will surround the mall go in disperse them we've seen that happen several times in this area the other complication to this protest movement is that hong kong is still observing social distancing rules no more than
12:06 pm
8 people can gather at any point or they can be fined about $250.00 now that is a big deal for many of these young protesters they're the same young people that took to the streets and 2019 many most of them are the more moderate ones many of them are young people and students who simply cannot afford that kind of care so police are also taking advantage of that to disperse the protesters so at best yes the protest movements have somewhat started the protesters are calling this the beginning of the protest season but it's very much a stop start scenario nic we go to the protests is that remind us again. along with their slogans of the 5 months which was the montra look over there for the protestors last year which includes releasing the protesters that have been arrested about $7000.00 people were arrested more democracy. universal suffrage
12:07 pm
more autonomy for hong kong an investigation into police brutality this protest to hong kong independence a very provocative slogan for both hong kong's government and beijing and particular people are calling for hong kong not just for its autonomy but saying that hong kong needs to be independent to safeguard hong kong's way of life and freedoms and that's something that's sure to agger the hong kong government and also anger beijing. or that's a picture in hong kong thanks very much. south korea's president says there is no reason to panic after a new coronavirus up or a consoling to nightclubs when julian is praising his country's efforts to contain the pandemic the warns of a 2nd wave infections later this year reports no. south korea's response to the corona virus has been widely held up as an example to other countries at one

12:11 pm
measures they rallied in front of the country's supreme court angry after it allowed an inquiry into the president for allegedly interfering in a police corruption case against. all this happening while a study by top brazilian universities says the country is still weeks away from reaching the peak of infections and predicting more than $60000.00 deaths by next month the highest death toll anywhere besides the united states in a scathing editorial the british medical journal the lancet says both so narrow who continues to dismiss the effects of the outbreak is the biggest threat to easing the crisis the governor of brazil's most populous states extended a lockdown in this region until the end of the month backpedaling on an earlier promise to start reopening the state to monday and implicitly attacking will so now
12:12 pm
to stem. we're going through the worst moments of this pain dimmick but it's not recognized not say not understood by those who are blinded by hate or by personal ambition. medical officials in religion nato and at least 4 other major cities have warned that their hospital systems are on the verge of collapse among them and now it's in the heart of the amazon region where 500 more coffins arrived by boat to deal with the surge and deaths nobody knows exactly how many died to cope with 19 because of insufficient the late testing for instance. since the 2nd most populated state in brazil we have only 3000 cases but then we have almost 100000 suspected cases that have gone tested so far so the numbers are clearly much worse than we know the government has absolutely no idea of the true extent of the
12:13 pm
problem in. the health minister himself has admitted to lying through the spend money and already bleak situation that promises to become even harsher as the weeks go by and the. still ahead here announce the plan to get people back to work in the u.k. but it will be the same as before. and lebanon reopens but the new normal is not good news for business is struggling to survive. plenty of. much of indonesia but we're also watching this massive cloud you can see here this is just getting to the east of the philippines down the joint typhoon warning center also monitoring this it may develop into
12:14 pm
a tropical cycle but even if it doesn't it's going to say to the east of the islands for the next few days and that he produced some heavy amounts of rain through central and southern areas the rains also fairly heavy monday across much of central and western borneo and again through northern areas of sumatra the many peninsula picking up some have to downpours to lace in the day choose day but over a people form is what we will see on cheese days of rain developing throughout much of thailand where he coming in across from laos and really sitting for the next day or 2 so again we could have some heavy downpours and then to australia mostly fine and dry we've seen of course the systems work their way across the southeast and this one now will just really linger across the south island of new zealand as a go through monday on into cheese day some fairly brisk winds to the coast and the rain fairly consistent as well not much rain there really across the southeast what we will possibly say of the next couple days is the showers increasing that coast of queensland pushing into cape openings and cheese day 28 in cannes of the chance of a few showers so quite plastered across tasmania some rain in the 4 calls for you as well but all the while is fine and dry in perth with

12:16 pm
how to get you what you are there a reminder about top stories this hour and libya's un recognized government is promising to retaliate tough to force its goal to the warlords and for have to attack the capitals only function the airports at least 3 civilians were killed in nearby residential area. hundreds of protesters are marching through hong kong's shopping malls receiving months of anti beijing demonstrations small groups of 8 were expected to form the government's been much larger. and south korea's president says there's no reason to panic because when you create a virus outbreak you sold it to nightclubs in giant praised his country's efforts to contain the to contain the pandemic but warned of a 2nd wave later this year. people are gathering in iraq's capital for another day of anti-government protests there they're the latest since a change in leadership last week when the former intelligence chief mr good to me was sworn in as the new prime minister is pretty says
12:17 pm
a little abdul mahdi was forced from office after months of often violent anti-government demonstrations protestors are calling for better living conditions and an overhaul of the political system and let's cross to some manifolds in his life for us in tourist square in baghdad and simona tell us more about what's happening today and what you're expecting. well hundreds of protesters have gathered here into her square today in what is the largest demonstration that we have seen since the imposition of the curfew in march to stem the spread of coronavirus during those past weeks to here square has been essentially deserted with only very few protesters digging in their heels staying in the pens here but today we've seen a relatively significant gathering it's pretty small compared to what we saw in the early days of the protest back in october but we did see several 100 protesters once again marched to the barricades on the republican bridge which you can see
12:18 pm
right behind me we've also seen them set up some roadblocks by burning tires and the security forces have also being raised their presence trying to restrict the movement of demonstrators to the harir square so far the demonstrations are largely peaceful we have heard the use of bunker unaids just a few minutes ago and the security forces are also using water cannons to try to restrict the movement of demonstrators from the barricades could be because of some important decisions following his 1st cabinet meeting yesterday can you tell us more about those decisions and that will the reactions be. make i believe i have lost the connection there but i believe your question was about the government's latest announcements on the release of protesters to last night the new prime minister mostafa me an ounce that he would be releasing demonstrators who were detained as part of the protests also significantly and the
12:19 pm
reinstatement of general of the. into the t.t.s. which was one of the triggers for the protest movement so it appears that the new government is trying to mend the rift between the demonstrators but from what i've seen today by speaking to demonstrators what they're saying. it is that they want to see actual results on the ground they're saying that today is just like any other day the security forces are once again responding with forest and that they will not believe they are square until they see actual results on the ground * and until 30 man forces that make change are met because the government may be new but the parties that control parliament are very much the same and that some of the demonstrators blame for much of the issues that the country has faced over the past 2 years are that's a picture in baghdad it's manifold thanks very much indeed thank you if the opi says it shot down a privately owned kenyan plane in somalia earlier this week in
12:20 pm
a statement to the african union says its troops mistakenly believed the plane was on a suicide mission and reacted to protect its campaign but there in the southwest 6 people were killed when the aircraft carrying medical supplies to somalia went down a british prime minister johnson's due to give a briefing later on sunday outlining plans to ease the pace not that it's expected to involve getting people back to work but with changes to the way offices operate and the way people commute it won't be the same as before the park reports now from london. they are going to lines for unlocking the lockdown starting with how we travel to work. before the pandemic $325000.00 passengers boarded london underground trains every 15 minutes if 2 meters social distancing is applied only $50000.00 could board in that time one solution is to stagger travel times putting an end to the idea of a normal office hours good infrastructure that was not built. so i'm.
12:21 pm
actually i'm just not exposed to. people. and actually having guidance around this is really quite. cycling is enjoying or in a song's under lockdown companies are being advised to install bigger bike racks allowing commuters to avoid public transport and in the office itself workers are being told to sit either side by side or back to back desks sharing should be avoided and some firms are being advised to install plexiglas between workstations and discourage access to communal areas such as kitchens and when it comes to shared pens and staplers they're now off limits. understandably. fresh. milk says there is recycled moments. tree using also
12:22 pm
to get in and out. after that much what's coming through in my judgment still. meet. pharmacists in supermarkets already open with customers and shopkeepers separated by screens. when other retailers such as clothes shops reopen they're expected to introduce one way flow systems hundreds of construction sites have already opened with many companies setting their own rules and regulations the government is expected to reveal plans to help hotels receive guests again but for now bars and restaurants are expected to remain closed for many workers the advice remains unequivocal or those who can work from home should work from home when it
12:23 pm
comes to restoring the life we once knew there appears to be no one size fits all solution needs barca al-jazeera london. the number of corona virus cases globally has now passed 4000000 with the u.s. accounting for around a 3rd now 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 is it trumps team appears to have a mind set of what's in it for me and to heck with everybody else the u.s. has reported about 1300000 infections and nearly 80000 deaths. the u.s. state of new york is investigating 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
12:24 pm
that was actually good news right the vulnerable populations were older people people with co-morbidities but. the one of the few rays of good news was young people were unaffected 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 any some of the children tested positive for the virus christensen 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
12:25 pm
symptoms that are associated with callas 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 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
12:26 pm
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. america's top infectious disease expert joins the front used. to come into contact with somebody who has covered 95 she's a senior member of the white house response team and will go into what's been described as modified corn too often making the low risk content with 2 other officials on the top schools were good choices for 2 weeks. a fire at a hospital treating covered 1000 patients in moscow has killed one person and has 40 evacuation of 200 of the blaze has been put out it's not clear what caused it or scale in several other regions have been on lockdown since late march russia's number of infections surpassed 200000 after recorded its highest daily number of new cases on saturday australia's most populous states is set to ease restrictions

a 30 percent capacity to protect against the coronavirus rising poverty and inflation also means fewer customers restaurant owners are asking for relief from taxes and loans to be reduced hotels are also asking for assistance but the state is close to bankruptcy the hospitality sector used to be a pillar of the economy contribution 10 per cent of the g.d.p. it's also the biggest employer after the public sector. at least 18000 hotel employees have lost their jobs in recent months losses have been accumulating for years blamed partly on land being closed after to the war in neighboring syria as well as political instability that has kept tourists away now the pandemic has brought the sector to a halt we're closing simply because we lost the hope of. a better tomorrow. to continue. for 70 years the bristol hotel hosted international conferences and dignitaries never closing even during the 15 year
