reservoir with water and. i robot brought in south korea with the school reforms looking ahead to a smart future in the post virus world. i am the end thank you very much for joining us we begin in the u.s. where president donald trump has criticized his top infectious disease experts warning against reopening the economy too quickly it follows wednesday's testimony by the leading cove in 1000 task force member dr anthony fauci who said that rushing to open up could have serious consequences including needless deaths the u.s. has by far the worst hit country by the pandemic with more than 83000 deaths and more than 1300000 infections donald trump has again states to lift coronavirus restrictions. when they don't want is for you to give them

a very obviously. because you know. it's just to me it's not an acceptable murder. on i speak to my canon in washington about this mike a clear division between the president and his top infectious disease expert. yes and certainly not the 1st dr anthony fauci insisting that he's being guided by science he warned that if there's a premature opening in states then there could be a yet another spike in the rates of coronavirus infection so certainly arguing very strongly that great caution has got to be exercised in the days weeks and indeed months ahead however president trump completely rebutting this particular argument he met with 2 governors in the course of the day from colorado and north dakota and urge them to open up their schools as soon as possible president trump insisting

that unless schools are open then there cannot be economies open now dr anthony found she made a reference to schools in the course of its evidence before the health committee in the senate saying that recent observations from new york has shown that some children maze the subset to pull to the coronavirus this is something that is new in terms of looking at it that some very rare infections have been found in a number of children in new york state in particular doctor insisting that not enough is known about the virus at this particular stage to be able to predict exactly what is going to happen hence the caution president trump clearly having none of that yeah and the president still pressuring governess to open up the economy might despite saying time and time again that it would be up to states to decide when they want to open up. indeed yes all that has been the white house position that it's up to the governors to decide how

and when they want to open up but at the same time president trump has been sending out tweets encouraging states to open up directly saying as i mentioned to the governors in the course of the day that they should be opening schools as soon as possible now it must be made clear to that of federal guidelines on which governors can take a decision among these guidelines among the recommendations is that there be a 2 week period in which infection rates drop before mitigating measures are ease that there be a contect tracing program in place and that proper testing protocols be established now those states that have already begun to reopen including colorado have not met any all all of these criteria so you do have a situation where federal guidelines have been established on the basis of which governors are urged to make their choices but president trump jumping ahead of the

these guidelines is urging schools to reopen as soon as possible and in cheering on states in tweets that are opening up as the days pass by thank you very much for that my canner reporting there live from washington now as mike mentioned while president trump is encouraging schools across the u.s. to reopen health officials are warning of a possible coronavirus related condition that has claimed the rise of 3 children in new york and a serious kristensen only has spoken to the mother of a child who is recovering from the mysterious affliction. amber deen seen here with her son bobby thought she was one of the lucky ones the mother of 3 from her now in new york had a mild case of coded 19 in april and has since recovered but for bobby it was a different story started well what seemed like a tummy bug so you know we're treating it as such and then it had progressed to a low grade and

a heavy amount of bombing and he couldn't keep anything down the 9 year old spent last week in the hospital one of more than 100 children in new york struck down by a mysterious condition thought to be related to the virus bobbie recovered but at least 3 children in the state have died and more than a dozen other states have reported cases similar to a rare condition known as callous saki disease or toxic shock syndrome it causes inflammation in the blood vessels from what we know or what we think we know at this time it's something that's occurring probably a few weeks after the initial inspection so most likely a lot of these children were infected a few weeks ago and now there are immune system is kind of wrapping up and causing this inclination to the body the leading u.s. public health body the centers for disease control and prevention is warning doctors to be on the lookout for the syndrome experts are also looking at a possible genetic predisposition but the man leading the u.s.

medical response cautions there is still a lot they don't know i think we've got to be careful if we are not cavalier if thinking that children are completely in the in the deleterious effects with tens of thousands of people killed and millions more out of work one saving grace of the coronavirus was supposed to be that children were spared the worse now as there's new evidence of this syndrome coming to light even that is being challenged kristen salumi al-jazeera new york. now some countries begin gradually easing longtime restrictions the world health organization is warning coronavirus may never be wiped out entirely w.h.o. says there's a long way to go in the fight against a virus and its experts warn that without an effective vaccine it could take years for the global population to build up sufficient levels of immunity. to put this on the table this wireless may become just another endemic virus in our communities

and this wireless may never go away hiv has not gone away but we've come to terms with the virus and we have found the tariff ways and we found the prevention methods and people don't feel as scared. as they did before and we're offering life to people with hiv long healthy lives to people with it very early i spoke to dr greg ray polenta is director of the mayo clinic vaccine research cool piece says it's important to ensure safety in developing a vaccine. i think there will be a vaccine the question is when and and my concern i just published an editorial about this is the fear that we push and rush this so quickly that we compromise safety in doing so so we need to be very careful about that but w h a w h o's main point is that this is a virus with high transmissibility in fact the real number is probably closer to something like smallpox and that gives you a sense of this virus seeking out one host after another that it can in fact i

think our chances absolutely are better with the corona virus the difference is that h i'd be back seeing hiv virus as a kind of acquires i species it's constantly mutating and changing and that is not the case with coronaviruses they mutate much more slowly each of the viruses acquires a species that means that it is constantly changing in mutating making it very hard to devise a back seat that is not the case with corona virus it mutates much more slowly we understand what portion of the virus to make a vaccine against i think our real issue is not will we be able to make one but will we be able to make one that induces safe and long term immunity. the european union is urging leaders to reopen borders closed because of the pandemic tourism makes up 10 percent of iraq's economy and the e.u.

banks government soldiers and 10 separatist fighters supported by the u.a.e. have been killed as a 1st major battle since the 7 transitional council declared sell for over aden last month this rule about sharing agreements signed in november with the government. so don is rejecting ethiopia's plans to start filling the reservoir of the narges hydroelectric dam in africa the sudanese are calling on both the. and egypt to resume soul talks to settle the dispute over the grand renaissance dam egypt and sudan feel the newly completed dam on the river nile will reduce their supply of water essential for our culture to morgan has more from hot to. what sudan has rejected is not signing a complete agreement because that was not what was proposed by if you appear if you peer proposed signing a partial agreement that would spare the way for it to start filling the dime and said that they could negotiate the rest of the feeling as they go on that something

sudan says is not going to be possible because to start filling the dam there should be a cooperation agreement between the 3 countries as well as other legal agreements several rounds of talks between the 3 parties have been held here in her term last year all of them resulted in deadlocks which was why the talks were moved to the united states in late december early january now the 3 sides met along with the u.s. counterparts there in the u.s. in washington and they have agreed on a schedule to fill the dam but they were not were able to work out many details such as how to operate during drought season and they said that they were not able to identify or determine how to identify what the drought season would be to each and every country and sudan is concerned that. if it's built and if the thoughts being filled it will have an impact on the amount of water it receives via the blue nile egypt is also concerned that the amount of fresh water sources would reduce greatly especially with climate change and with more than 90 percent of its population relying on the nile but if you're saying that the dam would help elevate

the status of many of its citizens so it will continue to work on the dam and will start filling it by july so right now what the prime minister of sudan of the lambda is proposing is a virtual negotiations between the 3 sides because of the pandemic. virus pandemic and that's something the 3 sides are yet to respond to so we're going to have to wait and see if egypt if europea and if your people will agree to the proposal of the sudanese prime minister and if talks will get back on track before if he appears starts filling the dam by july. levanon has began formal negotiations with the international monetary fund over an economic rescue plan of countries in the middle of a financial. which has been made worse by the corona virus pandemic holder has more from be able. negotiations between the lebanese government and the international monetary fund are expected to be lengthy and tops the government is hoping the i.m.f. will provide it with $10000000000.00 in the 1st say an assistance program this

state that is close to bankruptcy there is a need for hard currency especially since i've been on imports at least 85 percent of its needs the country is going through its worst economic and financial crisis in decades so tough negotiations that have the i.m.f. is known we leave more it's up conditions and it demands austerity measures conditions that could hurt the poor are already 45 percent of the population is believed to be below the poverty line and those conditions are also going to be tough on politicians because they will be asked in one way or another to carry out reforms that will diminish the control they have over this needs resources privatized nation for example that's on the table and the i.m.f. will likely ask the government to trim the public sector and politicians the political power parties who have been in power for decades they use the public sector to absorb unemployment they give jobs to their to their own supporters so

this is going to hurt them and diminish their political power but lebannon really the government doesn't have much choice because like i mentioned they are cast scrap and even their friends they entered this so-called international support group for levanon they are making it very clear the only avenue the government can take now is through the i.m.f. nobody is bailing levanon out this time around they believe that the state wastes a lot of money and they also blame corruption for the huge adept lebannon to focus on it's that for the 1st time so tough negotiations ahead that this will not be easy but it's lebanon. billions of dollars in aid it's likely to cause even more economic hardships for the people in this country. now working from home has been so successful for twitter that it says its employees cannot do it privately the

decided to gradually relax its restriction but vulnerable communities like this one are expected to feel its impact for months to come. as the occupied west bank south korea's government is encouraging farmers to adopt smart farm technologies to deal with a shortage of workers in rural areas initiatives for moving timely as a country recovers from the coronavirus as rob mcbride discovered on a visit to the southern growing region. in the quest to grow the perfect fruit this is one strawberry farm that is increasingly turning to smart technology every aspect of the growing environment is carefully regulated the amount of sunlight let in to the water and fertilizer is used it's helping to compensate for the loss of young people not wanting to go into farming like their parents can. get them we don't have enough workers in the rural areas but by using smart technology we can

reduce the need for manpower. the farm is owned by a husband and wife team who gave up high powered jobs in large corporations to pursue their dream they are part of a growing trend of people with high tech backgrounds opting for a new life in the countryside and in the young people coming to rural areas these days are quite interested in smart farm technology we've hired young koreans and are training them to share our know how to grow strawberries helping to spread the smart farm message to every younger people this pilot project in seoul has been running in a subway station since the end of last year it takes a news base to create a vertical farm under artificial light that is cheap so much greater productivity than growing above ground. in the city you can i hope that by exposing our children to high tech enterprises like this at an early age they can one day contribute to

korea's future and smart farming excellent in fact more engineering students in agriculture a student are being attracted to this life in farming got tougher when south korea lost its developing nation status at the end of last year that meant it could no longer use tariffs to protect its farmers it speeded up the government's efforts to harness technology in agriculture and initiative now given more urgency with the coronavirus smart technology means less face to face contact in how crops are grown and sold. after the coronavirus people need to practice social distancing and smart farm technology helps and by achieving a uniform quality it's easier to sail online. new smarter ways for a new post virus reality robin bride al-jazeera sank to south korea. now a huge piece of a chinese space rocket has crashed into the atlantic ocean becoming one of the
