tickets sold out in minutes tickets are only sold online people have been told to come 90 minutes before departure to ensure there's enough time for thermal screening everyone must wear face masks at all times the trains are running at full capacity around $1800.00 passengers in each train and indian beltways has said that it's up to the passengers to ensure social distancing and also up to the states to decide on the protocol upon arrival prime minister modi has said that the restarting of trains is an important step to live up to the economy but there is concern especially from some state leaders who said that this is too soon. a leading member of the u.s. coronavirus task force is warning that opening its economy too soon could lead to needless suffering and death thought to anthony felt she made the comments to the new york times as he prepares to testify at a senate health committee in a few hours president trump maintains the united states is on track to defeat

coronavirus from washington is alan fischer with 2 white house staff testing positive for corona virus with senior members of his task force self isolating the president who don't 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 i 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 season no 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 and 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 and the 2nd break will fall on fisher al-jazeera washington . all 11000000 people in the chinese city of han will be tested for the virus of the next 10 days after several new cases were discovered the city was the epicenter of the outbreak in china and where the illness 1st emerged back in december of 5 infections were reported on monday the 1st since is locked on was lifted last month almost sinner on every open but just for 3 days many were allowed to hold friday prayers for the 1st time last week the mosques remain shut in the capital and other areas deemed high risk now they're all allowed to open temporarily as part of the muslim holy month of ramadan the virus has killed more than 6 and a half 1000 people in iran. fears of a 2nd wave of infections in lebanon will be discussed at

a cabinet meeting due to get on the way shortly the health ministry has said a 48 complete shutdown may be the only option to stop the spread this comes as the country looks to the international monetary fund to help with its economy the financial crisis has driven many to protest in recent weeks so we can speak to our correspondents and hala he joins us live now from beirut. lebanon was emerging from it but now we could be returning to a complete shut up. it was described the rate of infections was described as manageable not alarming that a slowly changing the government to ease the restrictions to leaks ago the country slowly reopening as you can see behind me traffic people are out and about this may change the health minister is warning that the situation is dangerous on sunday there was a record number of cases detected in the 24 hour period 36 cases now that may

seem like a very small number when you compare it to other countries but 1st of all 11 on they don't do a lot of testing less than 1000 tests a day so you do not really get a clear picture about the extent of the outbreak in this country this is also a very small country a population of 6000000 people the total number of cases nearing 1000 with 26 deaths and nearly 300 recoveries but the problem is this is a country that cannot handle a major outbreak it has a very fragile health care system in fact the state is close to bankruptcy it's always the public and private hospitals millions of dollars so that is why the authorities want to maintain this curve make sure people don't get sick at the same time in order to be able to treat them in hospitals so now the health minister is concerned the problem is a lot of people are not to be respected. social distancing rules they're not taking

this really in a responsible manner if you can see behind me many people don't wear masks they don't respect space space between people and another challenge really was bringing thousands of lebanese back to the country ex-pats back to the country and in recent weeks thousands have returned and over 100 of them were tested with coronavirus and what we understand as many of them did not stay home for 2 weeks right the economy is in a state if you've alluded to it weeks of closures haven't helped to know the government is seeking assistance. yes many people here will tell you that it's just not sustainable how can you lock us in our homes when many of us are in no way just on a daily basis and there are no jobs many people are unemployed this is one of the areas where they leave wage earners wait for people to come and ask them to work and to carry out certain tasks so the situation is quite dire the government is going to start negotiations with the international monetary fund that it's not

going to be an easy process but it's going to take time as well because they're going to demand this country carry out the reforms economic reforms that lebanon promised to do really many many times in the past doing the carrying out those reforms will mean politicians lose control of the state's resources they lose power we're talking about privatization we're talking about stopping eco smuggling across the border we're talking about. the electricity sector reforming the electricity sector very very difficult conditions that lebanon will have to meet in order to get that money and lebanon is in dire need of billions of dollars in order because this is a country which imports almost everything it needs. or that's a picture from beirut as in a lot of reporting thanks. to the head here and al-jazeera the city back on the move in singapore takes cautious to businesses. after 2 months of mistress. and not

many years for decades because we had people at this position right here where i'm standing sitting right in that office the oval office that allowed that to happen i'm not interested in that let's see if they live up to the deal that they signed. well robert scott is a senior international economist at the economic policy institute and he says that china may find it difficult to live up to its commitments under the trade deal in the aftermath of the pandemic. to china is going to find it problematic to increase purchases of u.s. goods by $200000000000.00 over the next 2 years that's. going to be difficult in any case but now with the global economy collapse. there's just not evidence is good enough demand in china to purchase that many u.s. goods and they certainly don't want to do anything abers to drop by there they resent all of his threats and controlling these practices throughout his

administration but one thing he has done that's been moderately effective munch on china trade is to impose tariffs on about half of what we import employ they've been costly but they've got some impact on trade the larger problem is this deal failed to address the fundamental causes of the growing u.s. trade deficit with china which is a serious problem it's cost us millions of jobs new us china's massive subsidies massive excess capacity and it's decades of currency manipulation of the the root causes and those are the things that need to be addressed and president trump has failed to do that to advisors to venezuela's opposition leader one guy to have resigned after the government accused them of links to what it calls a botched invasion they both denied involvement 11 more people were arrested on sunday from the total to more than $48.00 a reported to have died earlier this month and its weight and security forces captured men landing by boat in makoto and less than an hour from the capital

a half 1000 ex-pat into tory volunteers who have been selected randomly based on age gender and ethnicity the goal here is to conduct a broad survey to better understand transmission and asymptomatic cases which in turn could help policy decisions in the future health officials say the rate of new infections has slowed the goal now is to increase testing and contact tracing it is a great opportunity as well to know where are the virus or the those. patients are located so it would be easy for us to inform the decision making on what to do next the government provides free testing and medical treatment for those who need it while campaigns to raise awareness continue. door such a pari al-jazeera. senegal's president says people will have to adapt to living with
