5:05 pm
phase but they would be evaluating while one week time to see the meet the creature area that they have ministry has designed for these deescalation plan. the u.k. government has released a document detailing how it plans to leave the country out of the pandemic lock down from minister boris johnson says that the recovery will be long and that it's too early for drastic changes for this let's go live now to paul brennan who joins us from london we saw briefly the foreign secretary tony rob who part of a behind you the just a moment or 2 ago what paul will talk about what's going on in the in a moment but 1st tell us more about this document a what it contains. yes you'll know that the prime minister announced on last night actually they gave a 12 minute national t.v. address basically outlining a broad brushstrokes the next step in the phasing phase relaxation a lock down rules here in the u.k. and a document that's been released in just an hour ago puts
5:06 pm
a lot more detail into that broad brushstroke it's just not a 50 pages long $49.00 pages plus a couple of pages of comics is i'm for examine the title of it is our plan to rebuild and i'll run through some of the specifics in it for example page $27.00 people being advised to wear face coverings whenever they go into enclosed public areas and especially on public transport based ready to workplaces should follow kovi 19 secure guidelines which they hope to issue later on this week and businesses are being urged by the government to adopt innovative and try to work out themselves innovative approaches to try to make sure that their workplaces can be made coded 19 secure page 38 an alert system it was telegraphed by the prime minister in his t.v. address one to 5 gradation one being the lowest 5 being the highest and it opens up the possibility of tackling local geographical spikes of infection across the u.k.
5:07 pm
with with localized strategies and localized ways a tackling it on a 1st. one of the nugget that i'll bring out is page $31.00 looking at a new zealand model and the idea of household bubbles one of the things in the document is talking about well instead of just household keeping self contained perhaps as a possibility the 2 households might be able to pair up together as long as they keep that a kind of exclusive arrangement hopefully to tackle things like loneliness and isolation or pull parliamentarians are getting the chance. to ask many of the questions they have and the public about this document because there was quite a negative reaction to. the prime minister's speech last night was. yeah i mean there will always be critics of course i mean the prime minister has got a very delicate balancing act at the moment he knows that there is an economic imperative
5:08 pm
to try to get the wheels of the economy going again and it's a priority for him the fellow scheme which is propping up millions of workers at the moment is unlikely to be able to be affordable in the long term on the chancellor is actively trying to find ways of weaning people off that kind of scheme that said though the complexities of the next phase of this coronavirus response it doesn't lend itself to a simple slogan move away from the stay at home simple typical forest johnson 3 word slogan 23 syllable slow going to stay alert but what does not mean people asking to be fat you know as we move into the next phase it's a much more complex mosaic of responses depending for example on specific industries on specific premises you know what kind of premises kind of office building do you do you work in what kind of workplace so it baby doesn't lend itself to a simple slogan that said the government is trying to bring the u.k.
5:09 pm
into the next part of the recovery plan. paul brennan friend is back in london many thanks indeed. that side in the in the breeze that he banged him on the head that at one point you say that. only in london china has reported 17 new infections the most significant increase since april but more business is returning among the shanghai is disneyland which welcomed 5 crowds for the 1st time in 3 months katrina. in the u.s. it's known as the happiest place on. now disneyland has broken crowds back to its gates in china for the 1st time in months the government here says the corona virus outbreak is now under control and the shanghai theme park is the 1st in the global chain to reopen since the beginning of the health crisis right now here in china and shanghai. conditions are such that we feel with the right measures in place.
5:10 pm
that we are able to open successfully here this is the numbers are kept at 24000 roughly 30 percent of the pox capacity temperature screenings and social distancing measures are also in place that means no selfies with mickey and minnie mouse for now but fears of a 2nd wave of infections did nothing to deter crowds tickets sold out in minutes. i feel happy i finally have a place to take my child. analysts say the points depend up consumer demand but don't expect the chinese economy to bounce back anytime soon i think the overall outlook is going to remain very uncertain. as long as we do not have a treatment or a vaccine for the current virus still authorities here are hailing the reopening as a milestone in china's coronavirus recovery it comes as beijing is in

5:19 pm
a corvette class. patrol vehicle it is sometimes armed with. with offensive capability to be used as a patrol vehicle but in this case it was working as a support vessel for these naval exercises that were happening in the gulf of oman just near the mouth of the opening towards the strait of hormuz the very important strategic waterway in this region and we know that there was it seems to have been a friendly fire incident a missile that they were testing as part of the exercises seems to have hit their car iraq and has resulted in the deaths of $1900.15 people were also injured in that incident senior military leaders have condoled with the families of those that perished in this incident and foreign minister jobs aris has also been speaking he released a statement and described it as a painful accident that we still don't know exactly how this happened and what happened and investigation continues to be under way this will no doubt hurt iran's very anti cured public image iran does everything especially in this region to

5:21 pm
from the reserves in march this is the largest withdrawal reserves ever in the history of the country the plans include tripling sales tax from 5 to 15 percent a tax introduced 2 years ago to reduce saudi arabia's reliance on oil income but it's not been enough to counter what the finance minister described as the 3 economic shocks from the coronavirus the decline in oil prices the shutdown of the local economy and extra spending on health care from the start of next month a living allowance for government employees will be suspended though all the savings are unlikely to address the kingdom's huge budget deficit i think the film economists are going to be a no one can understand without looking at. leadership. basically
