of course when you. call it game if you go to. the hospital in the afghan capital is under attack explosions and gunfire in the past down. at i mean this is al jazeera life and also coming up the world's biggest rail network gets moving again is india eases some of its coronavirus restrictions. the us president talks of a triumph in testing for corona virus but the number of deaths has now passed 18000

. accuse of land discrimination is rarely said to be boxing in callused indians and densely populated areas for decades. so we begin with breaking news out of the afghan capital where a hospital is right now under attack these are the latest pictures from kabul you can see smoke rising in the distance is just going to 11 30 in the morning explosions have been reported and there's been gunfire as well and this all began a little over an hour ago in the west of the city details a little bit scant at the moment let's go to massoud shams who is in kabul for us he joins us now on the line m.s.e. tell us what more you've gathered at this point. well next aspect. explosion around. 103211 local time in

a maternity hospital in rest of kabul which is most of the most and we need a living there and the security of security forces already called in. this attack happened when the ministry of public health. visiting the area so we don't have more information which is. what happened in the police. are keeping kind of the hospital now to attack it's ongoing at the moment. and we don't have more information about that perhaps just give us a little context of this in terms of recent attacks in the city and that might give us an idea of who might be responsible well at the moment we cannot we don't know who will be the 1.

basis for this attack all right we'll leave it there mr thanks very much indeed a message with the latest on the ongoing attacks in the afghan capital of kabul all right after being shut down for almost 2 months in response to the coronavirus pandemic india is reopening its vaults rail network is the biggest in the world tens of thousands of people have bought tickets for services running between the capital new delhi and 15 other cities will be up to passengers to maintain social distancing requirements while they travel let's be now tennis with them is live for us in new delhi and unless we talk about it being up to passengers but leave very difficult went on these journeys distances a huge devolves may last a long time thing. it will be the

1st train of the day took off from the southern city of chennai to the capital new delhi shortly after sunrise and that's a distance of over 2000 kilometers it takes 28 hours and many of the 30 trains which restart from today tuesday do take longer than 24 hours and they will be carrying will be at full capacity in fact at around $1800.00 passengers when the government started operating special trains only for migrant workers about 12 days ago they began the 2 thirds capacity limited capacity to ensure social distancing no such thing happening but the 30 trains which will be going between new delhi and 15 major cities around the country from today again that it's up to passion just to ensure social distancing to where there are mosques at all times we've had people

lining up here waiting for trains the next trains for another 3 hours and people are already lining up we've also been seeing people who came to the train station despite the fact that they didn't have tickets even though the indian government said that you need to kits and you can only buy them online but when they went on sale online on monday evening they sold out many of them within minutes all of them have been sold out and that gives you an idea of the montana and the unveiled ways carries more than 20000000 passengers every single day many people have been stranded for the last 7 weeks rather just want to ask you about the stranded migrants that 40000000 laborers across the country have been stranded without any means of income off to india went into lockdown on march 24th could no use these trains. so they have special trains which the government started 12. days ago and since the 1st of may they have transported

a special train so those trains are only for migrant workers and they need really free i think they don't have to pay unlike these trains where people do have to pay a full fare over half a $1000000.00 migrant workers have been transported over the last 12 days and the government is now running those trains at full capacity but despite those trains running we've still seen many migrants around the country walking hundreds of kilometers to get home and in fact you know tens have died making these journeys despite the fact that they're not allowed again that also gives you an idea of just the scale of the problem here as you mention lillian's stranded like this many still stranded despite trains restarting yeah and there's it's a tricky situation there in india thanks very much and a business person reporting from new delhi. so paul has also begun to ease restrictions some businesses including hairdressers and pet stores are now open and

next week small groups of students will be allowed to return to school the health ministry says restrictions are being defeated gradually to avoid a 2nd wave of infections it's reported nearly $24000.00 cases. while india in singapore is restrictions concern is growing over a potential 2nd wave of corona virus infections in germany health authorities there say the disease has been spreading faster since a lot that was eased just days ago reproduction rate which measures the number of people with cave at 19 and who it will affect is estimated at 1 point one and that means that 100 people in fact 110 others on average more than 7500 have died from the parts in germany which is much lower than its european neighbors but many other things of which he is it's very important for me to again draw attention to the fact that we're entering a new phase of the pandemic it will now be necessary with all the easing of measures to be sure that people stick to the basic rules keeping their distance

wearing mouth and nose protection and showing consideration for each other. the top infectious disease expert in the united states has warned that opening the economy too soon could lead to needless suffering and death and to be followed she made the comments before he's due to testify at a senate health committee late from tuesday and it comes as president trump maintains that the u.s. is on track to defeat coronavirus an official has more now from washington with 2 white house staff testing positive for corona virus with senior members of his task force self isolating the president put on a bill is displayed in the rose garden of the white house we have met the moment and we have prevailed americans do whatever it takes to find solutions pioneer breakthroughs and harness the energies we need to achieve a total victory we will defeat this horrible enemy we will revive our economy and we will transition into great this. that's a phrase you're going to hear

a lot because that's what's going to happen asked if he was declaring mission accomplished the president clarified he was talking about testing claiming the u.s. had no tested more people than any other country the white house has also told staff to wear masks while in and around the building a dramatic shift in policy senior figures attending the briefing did so the president did not in new york the governor insisted the state was through the wash to divide us a break saying it was on the other side of the mountain but with more than half of all american deaths sees a new rush to abandon the lot done measures some states are opening even though they haven't met the c.d.c. guidelines which i don't even know how that happens federal government says here the c.d.c. guidelines which are basic health guidelines some states don't meet those guidelines and they're opening anyway in florida the city of nichols was forced to shut down its beaches just 2 weeks after declaring them open people aren't following social

distancing guidelines i hate to say the base is closed down but i can see a very good reason for it as the president was speaking the number of dead in the u.s. passed the 80000 mark he says some democratic led states are moving quickly enough to open up alleging without evidence a prolonged economic shutdown is claiming even more lives i want our country open to i wanted open safely but i want it open don't forget people are dying the other out recent opinion polls suggest the majority of us citizens are concerned states will reopen too quickly the 2nd break will fall on fisher al-jazeera washington. now the new human rights watch is accusing the israeli government of discrimination by enforcing law and policies that have left palestinians living in densely populated areas and a report it says a policy of boxing in palestinians extends beyond the occupied west bank and gaza to palestinian towns and villages inside israel since 948 israel. has authorized

the development of more than $900.00 jewish population centers compared to just a handful of townships and villages for palestinian israeli citizens well israeli planners have designated large parts of palestinian towns as so-called green zones restricting residential growth that they've also approved the building of roads and other infrastructure around palestinian communities further preventing expansion well let's take a look at this report we can speak to. boozy israel and palestine director of human rights watch and he joins me on skype from amman in jordan to share welcome to the program so the practice of restricting palestinians and maximizing land available for jewish communities that's well known within the occupied west bank but your report says it's going beyond that into israel itself. absolutely if we look at land policy within israel you realize that 93 percent of the land of is state lands that are directly controlled by a bet by the state nearly half of the seats of the body that administers that is

run by the jewish national fund with a mission solely to develop housing for the jewish community meanwhile while palestinian citizens of israel make up 21 percent of the population the minas a pallet used where most of them live in have only 3 percent about of the land in the entire country and so it's very clear that they're being boxed in an israeli planning policies land confiscations over many years have reduced them to a series of dense population centers while the jewish communities are allowed to thrive very similar to the policy that you see taking place within the occupied territory yet the israeli planning administration they dispute your session they say that they put a great effort great deal of effort into advancing and strengthening arab communities that's correct these really planning administration responded to our request for information on the government in fact has i think in recent years recognize that there is

a serious problem they've set aside some money to deal with that and the planning immiseration highlighted some and initiatives that they're trying to take to deal with this issue the reality though is that none of that has yet translated into changing the reality of hemmed in palestinian villages right now those plans and proposals even though they date back to 2015 when the government put on a nearly $3000000000.00 program for economic development and the arab sector they have not changed the reality on the ground they become words on paper to change the reality for palestinian villages and towns inside israel will require significant investment in those communities allocation of state land expanding the jurisdictions of these towns and villages will take a really radical departure from the kind of discriminatory policies that have been in place for decades with respect of course the reports like this they come and go but they also do not tend to change the reality on the ground what will it take to

change things. look i think right now at a very important moment where the israeli government is considering formal annexation of the occupied west bank much of the conversation in the international community right now is around what that would mean in terms of the reality on the ground and how it will affect how the world engages with the israeli government and i think this report we hope will provide a wider context for understanding that there is no way of dealing with a discriminatory israeli rule that ignores palestinian citizens of israel so as much as this of course is directly aimed at the israeli government forming a new government in a matter of a couple of days it also is an important message the international community that the myth of israeli gala tarion democracy has long hampered us from seeing the reality which is that one government the israeli government controls all people between the jordan river and the mediterranean sea and fundamentally discriminates against palestinians for the benefit of jewish israelis and i think this report is

trying to put that in its proper context. we appreciate your insights of the findings of this report thanks very much. thank you for having me. still ahead here on al-jazeera. i'm dorsett jabari in a temporary drive through testing center and don't know where the qatari government scientists are hoping to better understand the virus and how to ease restrictions here. plus why australian seafood suppliers are forced to seek new ways to get a cut on the. head of the school for any pretty cool across northern areas of europe the winds coming down from the cold north meanwhile to the west we have seen plenty of cloud coming in with the rain it doesn't quite reach northern italy just yet it is all the way so this was the scene in milan on sunday also very nice sunny skies into
