factories have restarted and mosques are compulsory on public transport president vladimir putin eased restrictions on the day that infections exceeded those and italy and the u.k. it now has the world's highest number but fast the u.k. has released its latest figures showing the highest death toll from code 19 in europe these latest numbers confirm that the u.k. is amongst the worst hit countries worldwide prime minister barres johnson was criticized on monday for what's being described as a mixed message of easing the country's lockdown while our correspondent joins us now live from westminster in london jonah these latest numbers we're seeing some trends you talk us through what those are. well as this country begins its very 1st sort of very tentative steps towards lifting the lockdown some say confusing steps hoping that some workers in some

sectors might be able to get back to work later in the week the oh and s. numbers released on tuesday the office for national statistics offer perhaps some encouragement because they do indicate that while the numbers remain extremely high the trends are that infection rates are falling one of the numbers published by the onus is the so-called excess deaths rate looking week by week at numbers above the 5 year rolling average of all registered deaths from all registered causes and up to the 1st of may there's an 11 day lag time the death recorded were 8012 that's the excess death figure the previous week it had been 11539 of the idea is that this excess death rate takes into account confirmed cases of covered $900.00 spectators cases of covered $900.00 and all other related deaths deaths as a result of the ongoing health care crisis in this country for an overall total of some $50000.00 excess deaths an astonishing figure that and much higher than the

official death toll but thought to represent a better look at the overall impact of covert 19 on society. that death toll we have seen a lot of criticism of the number of death. threats. well again if you can call it encouraging helpful positive news for care homes there are signs that the numbers are falling in care homes as well only a couple of weeks to go described as the new frontline in corona virus still again appallingly high numbers in care homes 8300 people have died from covert 19 up to now in the care home sector if you add in the latest figures from the care quality commission that number goes up to 10000 to date honest. percentage and proportion of the overall. total scientists warn against complacency they say that the care home sector because of its makeup because of its residents the frail the most

vulnerable people have acted as a sort of incubator of the virus up to now and could form the frontline of a 2nd wave if people are extremely careful and when outbreaks break out they're very difficult to control they're seated back into the community by the and fro ing of staff of caterers of other movements from care homes back into the community so the focus of the government now is very much more strongly on the care home secretary even his critics say it should be much more focused on that sector from the start. for us thanks very much tony. well speaking of care homes as the netherlands health care system comes under increasing strain doctors are advising older coronavirus patients there against treatment and intensive care units and that's prompted anger from rights groups the netherlands is one of the few countries with far reaching euthanasia laws step bassam response from reports from amsterdam. after she tested positive for covert 19 even the

hardest doctors told her she would not be admitted to the i.c.u. in the nursing home where the 88 year old was the $31.00 patients died from the disease these husband and children appear for the worst hope to for you for the for hold for i heard on television that people my age would not be admitted to the intensive care unit and with my bad lungs i would not of had a chance anyway if it sent me i would have asked for euthanasia in late march the federation for medical specialists issued a directive asking governments to be more selective in sending elderly covert 19 patients to i.c. use the netherlands has a relatively low number of i.c.u. baths and with the increase of coffee 19 patients beds were quickly running out. stats for success the question is are they still capable of taking care of themselves how strong is this person we discuss this with the patients and of course we ask them what they want in short in the netherlands we decide if such an

extreme treatment is beneficial for a patient we couldn't make and her colleagues held difficult conversations with patients and their relatives please husband 91 year old hellmuth under half was also asked what he wanted to do in case you got infected now go. on the line not a spoke to my doctor about something else when she suddenly asked me if i still wanted to go to the intensive care unit i had to decide right away i thought that was pretty harsh. he told his doctor he wasn't ready to die and choose to go into i.c.u. many in the netherlands support its so-called humane death policy it is seen as a way to offer elderly covert 19 patients a more peaceful way to die for around by family but some groups for the elderly have warrant for age discrimination especially after comments made by some public figures saying that the elderly should be sacrificed for a younger generation 81 year old niece has

a growing following on social media campaign against age discrimination. how an african they say these things about the elderly we exist we live and we arm important economic factor we spend a lot of money although still fit if she gets govt at 19 she would offer a younger person her i.c.u. . i want to die at home i have spoken to my doctor and he says that he will help me i have champagne in my fridge i want to do this in a suite nice way that is the advantage of living in the netherlands while many elderly have died at home or in nursing homes even the hapless survived the disease doctors now say the chances of survival for elderly patients might be too pessimistic how much hope that soon he'll be able to go on a boat ride with me like they have done together for 67 years steps last an al-jazeera amsterdam well concern concern is growing over

a potential 2nd wave of coronavirus infections in germany health authorities say the disease there has been spreading faster since a lockdown was eased just days ago now not everyone supports the move measures there have been some protests in some parts of the country more than 7 $1500.00 have died from the virus 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 when our correspondent on a cane is in balance and he says new rules will be implemented if the infection rates start to rise. on the face of it the numbers coming from germany regarding corona virus well ministers might think they are positive because around 1600

people in the last 24 hour period recovered from the corona virus that is what the robert cock institution saying the agency that governs that collects all the data more than 100 people a newly infected more than 100 people died from the corona virus in the last 24 hour period the on the number of the reproduction rate of the coronavirus well in germany it's been oscillating fluctuating around one for several days now the rabbit caught in situ says it's not going to change the way it gathers the data so it can give a more exact figure of how the rate of reproduction is going at any given time this matters because although the government here and state governments have been saying social distancing needs to still to be applied there are increasing numbers of people who are protesting against the restriction super leave that they don't need to be a stroke on units they have been they need to be relaxed right now the protests have been taking place over the course of the last few weekends in several german

cities which explains why i'm going to machall at a cabinet colleagues are trying to stress to people that they must stay the course with these restrictions and that they will be eased when they can be. now a leading member of the u.s. coronavirus taskforce dr anthony thought she is warning that opening its economy too soon could lead to needless suffering and death well let's speak now try a white house correspondent can be health it can be we will be hearing from dr pouch in the next hour but we already have a pretty good idea of what he's going to say. yeah we have a good idea of what he's going to say and what's notable is that he will be appearing via video conference alongside 2 other of the nation's top scientists dr robert redfield of the c.d.c. and dr steven hahn of the food and drug administration notable that all 3 of these gentlemen not only the nation's top scientists but they are also in self isolation

for 2 weeks given they have been exposed to the positive case of corner virus by the vice president's press secretary so that is the reason that they are testifying via video conference and as you pointed out the message will be a sharp contrast to that of the u.s. president who has been pushing for the economies in various states to reopen the caution and of the doctor anthony found she will be that there would be needless suffering even death if some of these states rush to push and reopen not only their governments but their restaurants their businesses that there is considerable risk now in the midst of all of this it's important to note that the u.s. president has been pushing for the reopening of the economy because this of course is an election year and the u.s. president is hanging his wrist reelection chances on a strong u.s. economy something that he was experiencing in just till just a couple of months ago so he's eager to get that back on track so much so that he

has accused democrats of politicizing this issue saying that essentially they are trying to keep these economies close to hurt his reelection chances as a result we expect we will see the president traveling to philadelphia on thursday where he will continue to press for the reopening of the economy even as his top scientist dr anthony found she is caution against doing so too hastily kimberly i see the president's press conference the last one ended rather abruptly with and storming away from the podium he does seem to be rather agitated over the past couple of days do we know why. oh well one can speculate this is sort of standard donald trump behavior there are good days and there are bad days but overall the us president does tend to attack the media he does tend to attack his political opponents something he's been doing says 2016 and feels that it's fairly effective if you don't want to answer

a question you just go on the attack it's something that he has been doing for many years and sees no reason it appears to change the playbook now as he tries to run for reelection so yes the rose garden press conference late monday did end abruptly when the u.s. president seemed agitated by a couple of questions from 2 female reporters but expect that this behavior will not change he seems to think it works very well and you have to remember in the era of social distancing there are no rallies for the u.s. president and that is where he used to give his message and attack his opponents he can't do that now so he's transferred a lot of that to these press conferences at the white house if anything expect that behavior to ramp up particularly towards the democratic presidential presumptive nominee joe biden but you're there's no question about it the u.s. president has been agitating for days on mother's day sunday here in the united states he didn't have anything on his schedule in fact he didn't break his record

but he came pretty close we counted that were 126 tweets or retreats from the u.s. president i think is a bit like all of us if he has time on his hands he tends to go to his phone to occupy his time and many would caution that might not be the best use of his time as president of the united states house correspondent kimberly how to get there for us thank you candy well as we mentioned earlier india is resuming train services in some states to several weeks of lockdown and there's a problem reports from outside a train station in new delhi. we're at new delhi railway station where people have been lining up even hours before their trains departure to make sure that they get on one of the trades after a 7 week since indian railways one of the largest railway networks in the world shut down all passenger trains 30 restarted on tuesday travelling between the capital new delhi and 15 major cities around the country tickets sold out in

minutes tickets are only sold on live people have been told to come 90 minutes before departure to ensure there's enough time for thermal screening everyone must with face mosques at all times the trains are running at full capacity of around $1800.00 passengers in each train and indian railways 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 promise to 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 happening too soon eat well there's plenty more ahead here this news hour including why some people in the u.s. are so opposed to postal voting even in a pandemic. and it's being called a one in a 1000000 discovery a planet and

a faraway galaxy that resembles our life. from the school this formula one star is looking for a new car to drive next season will be here with that story. but in the united states dozens of coven 1000 cases have been linked to in person voting in last month's wisconsin primary and as the country looks ahead to the november presidential election republicans and democrats and out tousling i have a just how that fired should be held. john hendren reports from chicago. it was a scene of chaos anger protest and determination wisconsin voters dawning masks lining up at the height of a global pandemic forced to exercise their right to vote at the risk of contracting a deadly virus lesh they just make this terrible choice of do i go out and risk getting the virus or do i just because what if the well so and yet with

a pandemic almost certainly still a threat in person voting is likely to be the norm again in the us presidential election in november voting rights advocates are pressing for universal mail in voting. yes. yes. it is. but the battle over how americans will vote has evolved into a war democrats have filed lawsuits to expand voting by mail republicans are opposing those suits and forging ahead with elections as usual the reliably republican state of nebraska is going ahead with its in person may 12th primary it could soon be too late to move to mostly mail in voting that requires time to sign contracts in order supplies and money $4000000000.00 worth according to the brennan center for justice so far congress has promised 400000005 states already have

universal mail in voting where a ballot is automatically sent to every registered voter and americans approved a reuters poll in april found 72 percent of them want the government to require mail in voting in november that includes 2 thirds of republicans but mail in voting has some powerful opponents and one of them lives in the white house mail ballots a very dangerous thing for this country because that cheaters since the u.s. civil war conservatives have used everything from poll taxes literacy tests and now . now the threat of voter fraud to suppress efforts to expand voting was. always. wifely. with just 6 months to go come november much of

the us could look like wisconsin in april john hendren al-jazeera chicago now human rights watch is accusing the israeli government of discrimination by enforcing land policies that have left palestinians living in densely populated areas and reports it says a policy of boxing in palestinians extends beyond the occupied west bank in gaza to palestinian towns and villages inside israel since 1948 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 israeli planners have designated large parts of palestinian towns as so-called green zones restricting residential growth and they've also approved the building of roads and other infrastructure around palestinian communities preventing further expansion. is the israel and palestine direct to at human rights watch and he says the extent

of state controlled lands makes it easy for the government to dictate just who lives away. 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 that 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 of how these 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 israeli planning policies land confiscations over many years have reduced them to a series of dense population centers while jewish communities are allowed to thrive very similar to the policy that you see taking place within the occupied territory 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 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 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. now i read corruption trial is underway in the democratic republic of congo the president's chief of staff has denied charges of embezzlement and corruption in the country's top course he was arrested last month and has been detained in a high security prison in the capital kinshasa malcolm web reports. supporters of the talcum mary saying don't protect any of them they think it's all the

with snow and not fear yes may they shouldn't be any better if you see that we've got this part of europe here and this arc of cloud around but to me they are this one here is rather telling it is actually a cold front and it did bring don't bring rain it brought snow with it not just a lot of it to a good part actually of north eastern europe another could've cloud coming through the cold areas to maybe you ought to come but this is the picture i mean yes of course you can do this in march maybe but april and may sir may is 5th in the month of blue when everything grows but the latest 04 ever recorded in latvia obviously that discounts the end of the year but for you know for spring and this is a much for anything up to 16 centimeters so it wasn't even trivial when as far south as poland there was some in germany as well the cold front actually means all of northern europe is much colder it should be $910.00 degrees and should be in the teens now said the might be a little bit more snow to come to or more likely it's just rain it will not last

long but the cold is persistent and that cold extends across all of northern europe meeting the wall strong below which means the rain area between the 2 meet the stormy area is still around but it's this time in southern france possibly in switzerland to ring represents 3 days of wet weather though not code it being on the warm side temperatures only average but it's still there. thanks very much charles well still ahead on al-jazeera privacy on the law and how american research is by using smartphone location data to combat the coronavirus. my astray in seaford supply as a force to seek new ways to get there catch on to people's plates. and in support a positive sign that some major league baseball action could be just around the corner. the latest news as it breaks the mind sits within

the. hello again. a reminder of our top stories this hour dozens of people have died in 2 attacks in afghanistan 14 people including 2 newborn babies were killed when a gunman stormed a hospital compound in kabul 21 others were killed in a suspected suicide attack in the eastern province of manga. new figures released by the u.k. confirm it has the highest death toll from carpet 19 in europe more than 38000 people have died prime minister barak johnson was criticized on monday for what's been described as a mixed message easing the country's lucked out. and members of the u.s.

coronavirus task force are due to testify before a senate health committee it's trying to weigh up reopening the economy against the risks to public health infectious disease expert dr anthony found she has warned doing so too soon could lead to needless suffering and death. a lebanon is now preparing for a 4 day nationwide shutdown only a week after easing some of its coronavirus restrictions government ministers made that decision after the number of new delhi cases rose to its highest level in more than a month and that's prompted concerns about a 2nd wave of infection well let's speak now to us anahata she joins us live from beirut center this is quite the about turn for the government what will this mean in practical terms for the people. well more economic losses for the people of lebannon this country already in the midst of a deep economic recession and a financial crisis the shops reopened just

a few days ago people were hoping to make up for their losses and now the lockdown the cabinet announcing a 4 day lockdown that begins late wednesday and smiled a warning because of the sharp rise in the number of infections according to the information minister 109 cases in the past few the 4 days now 109 may seem like a small number when you compare it to what's happening elsewhere in other countries but this is a small nation of 6000000 people there have been nearly 900 cases since the 1st case was the tech that on february the 21st but this is a country a state which is facing almost bankruptcy and the public and private hospitals just 15000 beds that is what is available and already the state to all those millions of dollars to these hospitals so what the government the authorities have been trying to do is flatten that curve make sure that everybody doesn't get sick at the same time in order to be able to treat people in hospitals so now this lockdown has been

announced definitely more economic hardships for people here more and more businesses have been posing really in recent days and weeks and unemployment is on the rise and as you say the economy is still in freefall is there any kind of an indication from the government about how that might be tackled now. while the government is asking for external financial assistance it has requested help from the international monetary fund detailed discussions are expected to begin this week but they will not be easy and it will be a lengthy process that is what we understand because the i.m.f. is going to demand reforms economic reforms from paul. titian's who have refused to carry out reforms for many many years they've made commitments to carry out reforms and they've done nothing to reform for example an ailing elektra's to the sector to privatized state assets these are very difficult decisions that the government will have to take but it needs dollars it needs its foreign reserves are dwindling and

this country imports everything almost everything it needs more than 85 percent of what it needs so this is why you need dollars and there's a scarcity of foreign currency so the situation is very dire 45 percent of the people now live below the poverty line that is according to the world bank and the ministry of finance and a lot of that live for us in the lebanese capital beirut thank you. african leaders are asking what china can do so then as the coronavirus pandemic threatens to destroy economies there and wipe out about $20000000.00 jobs beijing is both the top trading partner and the top lender on the continent mamata di reports from the kenyan capital nairobi. days of to the government the most on easing of some looked on restrictions traffic on the streets of nairobi is slowly picking up. but

many shops in the central business district remain closed. those will reopen say business is still bad all of a sudden the streets went quiet after the announcement of the lockdown. and so that is completely offer to a business if a good measure each would be about 90 percent drop in sales. the economy crisis caused by the coronavirus all break is forcing hard choices not just here in nairobi but across africa many governments are struggling to find the money to fight the pun demick and shore up their economies the world bank and the i.m.f. abbasi lenders to suspend the payments for african countries struggling under the covert $1000.00 outbreak petain these officials say they will deal with african debt on a case by case basis what happens next depends on china which is not only africa's top trading partner but also its lender according to the world bank chinese

government and fund some plan for african governments and state owned enterprises more than 150000000000 dollars between 201-2018. most of this money has gone into the development of infrastructure projects such as rubes railway lines ports journalist in the army because they want to be able to continue to lend to us through the 19th to make money and influence but i do seem time to want to be able to. to be on how the offer is went in time more than $100.00 international non-governmental organizations have been forced calls for consideration of all debt payments in 2020 but many banks are reluctant to risk their credit ratings and private bondholders are unlikely to do so but even if all debt payments was suspended this year they still trouble ahead

business later. by now grasp. the war. now it's being described as a one in a 1000000 discovery a super us new zealanders such as say the planet has one of only a handful ever detected that hasn't all been a size that's close to our own it's

a bit larger than us and it was found using a technique called gravitational microlensing so sometimes barely perceptible objects distort the light of stars when they pass and front of them and scientists look for this in order to discover new planets francisco diego is a senior research fellow in the department of physics and astronomy at university college london and he explains the significance of this discovery. i don't have like plan it is a planet which is more or less the same size of the air it has to have a solid surface because a lot of these new plan is a classic on the gas giants which are easier to detect in a way similar to jupiter and saturn but if the planet decisively then it is exciting because then it comes closer to what they had looked like with possibility of having are not in the sphere liquid water on the surface etc etc and then we have a possibility of another environment. that would be similar to the air through the host living organisms we are finding out how the universe works how life the

universe. what cheese mean there are plenty of possibilities so far we know now about by extrapolation we can tell that up there are about billions and billions of planets in order and not on. weight aleksey alone but all of them i will be very very different are very different from the air and the conditions on air thought very special what the sending off that despite of all the said enormous amount of blood it's we may be still in a unique place in the universe because the development of intelligent life if somebody if he called that improbable. event to happen in in the universe and generally require so many conditions and we're finding out by studying. account the amount of planets out there out there and the amount of planets that are not like the earth and we hope to find something that we see now on the screen a kind of plan in the house the house land and water we will find out in the future

about these going to be a long way to postal. now it's time for his fire and southsea thank you so much english premier league clubs have said no to resuming the season that neutral venue is the league is now in talks with the u.k. government about teams using their own stadiums on monday the english football association told the league that declaring the season null and void wasn't an option it means that even if games can't be restarted issues like relegation will be decided on sporting merit and a statement premier league chief executive richard masters said a really strong collective will to complete the season remains it is the preference of all our clubs to play at home if at all possible it is an ongoing dialogue and we've been talking to the authorities about the conditions in which we could get the premier league back up and running the players union is also involved in discussions to agree on a health and safety plan ahead of a return to full team training the moment you go but just need to make sure it's

a moment where not just there for the reasons it's safe for you know as well as for the whole medical staff there are the referees and you know and i don't know how that's going to work through i want. the people safety and the players' safety is secured and their well being is being looked after you know that's the right time to go into them. as a kind of not scared but yeah kind of you know reserved and thinking what the work could be quite as i've been told they may have to repay more than 400000000 dollars to broadcasters even if the season resumes that's because the games won't be taking place on the agree dates and will be happening without fans earlier spoke to sports laura chris kevin carpenter about what's at stake for the clubs in the coming days . do you actually have the cash to give back this is certainly what concerns me and

i think considers the players is that the parties the broadcasters and the premier league and all the commercial partners need to be more flexible i think i'm more sensible about having a product to show eventually and recognizing that there's going to be losses across the board that not one party can just stunned very very strong and say well this is our contractual position this is what you know is it's not going to be a straight forward it's not simply if people don't have the cash available to pay then they can't pay so. if the clubs have already spent the money then where do you go next to me that the difference between what we have here in or in england compared to some other country is that that the consequences of relegation for the team down for the players who play for that team are catastrophic acing stunned at the moment because of the way the system has been. developed over

a number of years since the premier league came into being it means that these threats and this fear of relegation is probably larger than any of the division in the world so this is an opportunity for the other leagues to be to act in a law way of great to solidarity for the great to go out than it would appear this is still a considerable amount of self interest amongst the clubs in the premier league. the german bund asli is getting ready to make its return on saturday teams are using their own stadiums but no fans will be allowed to attend the games badges have been suspended since mid march and it will be the 1st major european football league to resume the german football federation has already carried out more than 2000 tests on players and club staffs the ever tells you i think that people will just be pleased to watch blues league of football on the screens at home and of course for all of us it's a completely new experience we've never had a situation like this before where it hurts a player games without friends it's something that's new for everyone but on the
