and seafood suppliers are forced to look for new ways to get their catch on to people's plates and in other news a rare trial in the democratic republic of congo the president's chief of staff is accused of corruption. thank you very much for joining as we begin with another gray milestone in the global coronavirus pandemic the death toll from go over 1000 in the united states has now surpassed 80000 the u.s. is by far the worst hit country in the world but president donald trump says america is on track to defeat the virus speaking at the white house only a tram said his administration had now approved a $1000000000.00 to boost coronavirus testing capabilities. this afternoon i am announcing that my administration has been and it we've got this all approved it's
3:02 am
all done is sending 1000000000 dollars to america's states territories and so this is all been approved we've gotten it done completed the money is going out this major investment will ensure that america continues to conduct more tests than any country on earth by far the president also claimed the u.s. is testing capacity is unrivaled saying 9000000 people have been tested for the virus so far and he also promised that federal agencies will be delivering nearly $13000000.00 testing swabs to states nationwide now the money announced by president trump is a new and had already been approved by congress last month our white house correspondent kimberly how kate explains there's a bit of electioneering going on here because even as you listen carefully to the president's own statement there that money that he was talking about and by the way he blundered his own announcement he said 1000000000 for testing but what he meant to say was 11000000000 that was actually clarified later in the press conference
3:03 am
the amount of money that he is announcing if you will was already approved by congress late last month in fact the u.s. president signed it into law under another piece of legislation one of the very large among the many coronavirus packages that have been approved by congress this u.s. . the president in this white house they can't just drum up the money on their own that's something congress does the president signs it into law so in terms of this money that he says already been done yet has already been done there really isn't anything new here from what i can see in fact i reached out to the press office to double check that and i didn't hear back but i think that underscores that essentially this money was already approved by congress and it allows the states the various governors to ramp up their testing their lab capacity and this is the president pushing back in an election year to say look at we may have been criticized at the beginning early on in this virus because there wasn't enough
3:04 am
testing available but here's where we are right now the president touting it as a success saying that soon every american will be able to be tested but right now that is currently not the case talk to mock a special is the chief medical officer of the association of satan territorial health officials in the u.s. he says after testing the focus should be on contact tracing but we have a shortage of tests and we've been having to prioritize people who are at higher risk or people have special needs for tests but that is what we need we need to get to a place where testing is far more commonplace and we particularly need to be took place where anybody who has symptoms that might be coping can be tested because that's important for other infection control efforts one of the things we're really starting to put an emphasis on mail is caltech tracing finding people who are sick with it isolating them and then finding out who they've been in contact with so we
3:05 am
can contact those people and monitor them as well that's the way we're going to get ahead of this epidemic. elsewhere on monday france cautiously ended its lock down although many restrictions remain in place particularly in paris as i reports the city is far from resume a normal service. back to work for some people in france but not quite back to normal in the paris metro staff handed out mosques that are now obligatory on public transport and distributed hand sanitizing gel but with a large number of people commuting so should distancing was clearly impossible. 20 minutes for a train some people were not wearing masks and at my station in the suburbs staff were not handing out morse like here you can't socially distance with so many people but. normally in metro we're not confined spaces it's just a shame we weren't grice a rare mass when the 1st began in france because maybe. staying home after 2

work from home of being encouraged to return to work some outdoor socializing measures have been eased but now england wales scotland and northern ireland all have different rules but leaders more wary of releasing their lock downs as much as england i know these restrictions continue to be extremely tough and i nor that hearing talk about easing the law makes them seem probably even tougher but please i am asking you for now you to stick with it the u.k. will soon be imposing a 14 day quarantine period on people arriving from overseas apart from the irish republic and france but no detail as to when it would start and for how long it would last the british government is only advising not mandating face coverings in enclosed spaces in other countries such as france people are required to wear them on public transport. the u.k.
3:11 am
still has the 2nd highest reported fatalities from couvade 19 in the world and the new measures have not necessarily provided reassurance to the public it's still a bit of confusion around who's to go to work and who's not to go to work and what you to do if you've got children of hard who is taking care then so it doesn't appear as much time to go and it's consistent with how the government is operating throughout the whole throughout this whole period which is not one in some way any hard and fast decision and there are still many unanswered questions resulting from the latest guidance and it is a deeply complex operation the knowledge of the virus is constantly evolving as will the reaction to it for some time to come so near niagara al-jazeera fears are rising over a potential 2nd wave of coronavirus infections after germany reported the disease is spreading faster just days after a slow down was eased the virus has reproduction rates which measures the number of

3:17 am
in late march a wearing fast face mask is mandatory and the security personnel it takes on the temperature of the customers in the entrance the schools for the schools the same way for the barber shops and behave sloan's as well however many people criticize the government decision to reopen the shopping malls not the barber shops or hair salons but the. because it's an indoor place and for a virus like cope with 19 it's easy to have a 2nd the way you especially if there isn't much protection like in like in shopping malls that's why many said that the government should they waited until the ramadan peace is over which is in late may currently the schools are still closed the parliament is closed mosques are closed that's why many say that why are we reopening the shopping malls but we understand that in ankara they were they were true to ideas a group in the economic administration preferred to keep the shopping malls close
3:18 am
however another group believes that reopening the shopping malls and keeping it under control with safety and security measures is good to stimulate economy especially given the time that the turkish lira national currency is losing value against the american dollar and a turkish economy older that has its own problems that's why it seems encore especially the economy administration wanted to stimulate the economy but many are worried about the situation. authorities in malaysia have began arresting undocumented migrants in a targeted operation on monday just outside the capital kuala lumpur video released by local media showed crowds of migrant signing up after the arrival of a large group of police officers the malaysian government has already carried our civil operations in what it says is an effort to help contain the spread of the coronavirus growing story is in kuala lumpur and explains why certain areas are
3:19 am
being targeted. this is very similar to a rape that was carried out at apartment blocks in kuala lumpur on the 1st of may now these raids on monday morning are carried are in an area that is under lockdown which means residents in those areas are not allowed to leave their homes whether for food or medicine things are delivered to them and this is to prevent or contain the spread of the corona virus these are areas where clusters of the virus have been reported now everyone in those areas would have been tested for the corona virus and the government has said that it intends to detain undocumented migrants in areas and lock down and this appears to be what the government is doing in carrying out these raids on monday morning and the undocumented migrants who were detained in the raid on the 1st of may were sent to an immigration detention center and it's very likely that the same is going to happen to the ones who are detained in the operation on monday morning however that's several issues with that and one is that there is a possibility that refugees who are not yet registered with the un refugee agency
3:20 am
in malaysia or asylum seekers who may have their registration expired may inadvertently have been detained as well and the other issue is these rates could be counterproductive if the government is detaining undocumented migrants in areas for lock down but what about undocumented migrants in areas that are not under lockdown then these people will be more reluctant to seek treatment or to come forward to be tested even if they are exhibiting symptoms and this could be a potential health issue for malaysia in trying to prevent the spread of the corona virus and 100000 free flight tickets had to be given away by qatar airways to health care workers around the world chief executive officer bob barker sold al-jazeera is being done to recognize the hard work in the fight against over 1000 qatar airways is hoping to resume tries to 80 countries by the end of june. we have

a thought in 80 this a nation gradually it could be 50 it could be fought the it could be 55 we don't know but we can go up to a maximum of 80 this finish by the act of doing the job is unarmed today of every single airline in the was so we are not unique you know we have to make sure that we white in this very difficult period and as a as a c.e.o. it is my job to make sure that i protect the interests and integrity of the airline and as we are going to reduce nearly 25 percent of fleet. we have that many. so don't we will not go to those then but we will. make of laying off people and taking. we will try to minimize the pain
