a place won't stock up holds actions against protesters at hong kong provoking angut from those who accuse offices of the sea. u.s. president donald trump has declared a massive new coronavirus aid package being debated in the house of representatives will be dead on arrival when it reaches the senate the 3 trillion dollar package being pushed by trump's rivals the democrats would eclipse all previous financial rescue measures the democrats control the house donald trump's republicans have a senate majority more than 36000000 people are claiming unemployment benefits in the us figures just out show retail sales down by a record 16.4 percent in april. and late march president trump signed a 2 trillion dollars stimulus package into law the largest of its kind in u.s.

history it included payments for most u.s. taxpayers to help them cover expenses while out of work jobless support was also expanded and there was more money for hospitals and for struggling businesses. when i watch house correspondent convey how good joins us now live can be why is the president calling this legislation dead on arrival. because it's his belief that even if it were to pass the u.s. senate which as you point out controlled by republicans is unlikely to happen that he will not sign in other words when it hits his desk it will be dead on arrival here's why there is really a difference of opinion philosophically on how to bring this economy back and to help people who are struggling economically as a result of covert 19 in the united states essentially the view is of this white house is that the lockdown is having just as detrimental effect as is having people

stay in their homes and not be allowed to go back to work in other words that alcoholism drug abuse not being able to get medical treatments that this also has a sky high price tag and be in the words of one of the economic advisers peter navarro is that you can't spend your way into prosperity actually that was larry kudlow another economic advisor the bottom line is is that this white house feels the answer is not spending more money paying people to stay home the answer is to get them back into the workplace and to reopen businesses and so that is one of the messages that we expect the u.s. president to also be delivering when he takes to the rose garden in the next hour for a vaccine research development announcement that he is set to make sure you know anything more about this announcement on vaccine research. yeah well 1st of all that we know that has kind of an unusual name it's called

operation warp speed the name is because the u.s. president wants to get a vaccine to allow people to get back to work safely in a very quick matter so he's appointed we understand or will be making this announcement that he has appointed a 4 star general and also a pharmaceutical c.e.o. to as socially get this moving but the timeline is problematic the u.s. president has said look we think we could have a vaccine by the end of the year most public health experts say it's going to be at least 12 to 18 months and that is best case scenario and we all know things rarely happen in best case scenario still the u.s. president is expected to talk about not just the vaccine research but also we expect he may talk about this a vote that's taking place in the house of representatives and we should point out one thing i forgot to mention what is interesting about this photo is right now we

know that there will be members that will be going in groups so that they can maintain social distancing but they're also going to be voting in the future to change the rules for voting in the house of representatives moving forward because of covert 19 allowing members to vote remotely from their homes so we're watching all of these developing stories very carefully one last thing i want to talk about kimberly we had anthony found talking about the importance of widespread testing for corona virus and yet in recent days we have had the president calling testing over ready to tell us about that. yeah the u.s. president made those remarks in pennsylvania as he was advocating to reopen the economy and one of the key components for the task force to get this economy going is frequent testing now there's a big problem 1st of all in the numbers by the end of the week it's expected that this country will have conducted about 10000000 tests but there are hundreds of

millions of people living in this country when you're reopened 50 us states are going to need more than 10000000 tests now they project that is going to be in the 4050000000 mark by fall and that this is something that will be good for phase one of the reopening not a complete reopening of the company of the country but the u.s. president sort of made some headlines and some news in terms of downplaying the significance of testing calling it overrated and even suggesting that testing is a problem because it's making the numbers go up in terms of infections 1300000 and counting in the united states that sort of race alarm bells because what it suggests is this is really about politics for this president not public health he doesn't want to see the high numbers he wants to reopen the economy why does he want to do that because he's trying to win reelection in november in those high numbers that's a problem for him and people who are not getting a live feed from the rose garden where you can see that announcement will be taking

place fairly soon social distancing can see among reporters very much and place can be we will be checking back in with you when that announcement is made for now thank you. new york state governor has extended stay at home order for another month but industries in less populated areas are unarmed to stop reopening and crude some areas of construction manufacturing and shopping except in new york city where more than 20000 people have died it is the u.s. peace until the virus. brazil's health minister has resigned after less than a month in the position nelson it took over and mid april after the previous health minister was sent by president jaya both and out of the outbreak brazil has become a hotspot all of infections with more than 200000 cases only 14000 people have died despite this the president continues to push state governors to ease the downs.

joins me now live from sao paulo in brazil so do we know why the health minister has resigned has he said what. yes kim this is because of a lot of disagreements between the minister of health. that he was. replaced all replacing the ex minister and recommend and he wanted to change the view and work of the ministry of health in brazil according to what president bush not once but appeared a lot of disagreements between him and 'd the president of brazil. especially in the last days when the president was not asked to use chloral queen.

medication for early stages of. infected patients of course the virus here in brazil and. minister didn't accept this and he said that a lot of queen can to be used for early stages and a lot of things or a lot of disagreements between the minister and. also was in this less than one month he had her placed. on 17 april last april and he is now resigning in 15 or may and this was a 2nd change and the minister ministry of health in brazil. during the pandemic the . 1000 pandemic you're embryos in brazil that is claiming till now more than 206000 people here in brazil infected by the corona virus and at the same

time more than 14000. victims because of course the virus this is so strange maybe here in brazil but no we are expecting the. general it to our door pas where law. that he is now number 2 in the ministry of finance that he will take over the. position in the ministry or 1st he will be the minister of the new minister. here in brazil and he is a gen x. join the. army of the brazilian. there was a there were a lot of disagreements between ex minister. and this disagreements continues with the new minister. but we don't know how it will be with the new ministers that will be. i guess i will depend on how much he agrees with the president for now thank you our desires

hassan muscle their life from our. persons government has given a 2nd company the green light to produce a crude a virus antibody test that follows approval for a test produced in switzerland with scientists say is 100 percent accurate the test shows whether there's ever been covert 19 infection but it's not yet clear whether the antibodies provide permanent immunity a spokesman for prime minister forest johnson said the tests are a potential game changer as a way to ease restrictions. in england some workers have been asked to go back and people can also spend more time outside but there's concern that moving too fast could spark a 2nd wave of infections the u.k. is one of the hardest hit countries in the world with more than 33000 reported deaths and a whole has more from london. the concern is now quite widespread that this is happening far too soon far too fast albeit these are only the very slightest easing

of the lockdown and only here in england the devolved administrations in northern ireland scotland and wales have continued to be cautious they're not taking any steps just yet but here as of the beginning of this week if you worked in or if you weren't able to do your job from home but you do work or are able to work in a socially distanced coded friendly environment you were encouraged to go back to work that affected mainly sort of construction and manufacturing environments disproportionately perhaps affecting lower skilled lower paid low skilled workers there are also greater freedoms of movements in the countries parks and recreation spaces the government's messaging has changed from stay home to stay alert on a central piece of guidance being offered is exercise common sense as you go about your business in terms of maintaining social distancing it's all provoked no shortage of criticism and confusion about just what this new policy actually means are people supposed to in general continue to stay at home and observe the lock down and continue to inhibit the pathways to infection in the spread of the virus

or are they more or less freely now go about outside as long as they exercise common sense and anecdotally i can tell you here in london there's a lot of evidence of small shops independent cafes coffee shops small restaurants opening up for takeaways you know clearly testing the waters of the limits of these gardens and. saying in the u.k. and the government is facing criticism over the number of coronavirus deaths and care homes new figures show more than 12000 care home residents have died from the outbreak and england and wales alone the government is being accused of not doing enough to keep people safe key workers are also a risk with statistics showing more than 1500000 have health conditions that make them more vulnerable to the virus around 10000000 people work in essential sectors of the economy with more than a 3rd of those and the health industry. ruth is dean is head of health influencing at the british charity an advocacy group 8 u.k. she says care homes are protected vulnerable to the outbreak and more needs to be

done to keep people safe. i think the picture that we've seen in care homes as a bit of a a crisis of really unfolded as the infection rate has just risen and much much more quickly than in the general population and we've seen i really widespread number of outbreaks in cairns because of course that the absolute perfect environment we have a group of people who by definition that older they have underlying many underlying health conditions and they live in a communal setting where infections can spread very very quickly and we're not careful and unfortunately we haven't been as quick as that moves we need to be in in terms of making sure that best testing rolled out to carry residents and to start working in that sector access for staff to essential protective equipment all of these things have contributed i think to the really shocking numbers that we're seeing today well the good news is that the infection rate and the fatality rate is starting to come down in care homes so it does look like we're past the worst of it however having said that there are new outbreaks happening so clearly there's still

a long way to go and we still are in the grip of this crisis so it is very important it's hard to overstate how important it is to get on top of those continued issues and we have there has been a lot of progress but there are still continued issues karen's tell us about accessing testing accessing testing quickly enough in fact and getting the results back quickly enough and also there's still those really important ongoing issues about access to protective equipment where many are still struggling without access to the supplies that they need. a number of european countries have started reopening their borders but with heavy restrictions is the way the airline fia and the saudia are now allowing methodists and to travel between the 3 countries and what is the e.u.'s 1st travel bubble while austria has agreed to open its borders with germany switzerland and stein in mid june. and germany is preparing to relax entry rules for all travelers from the e.u. the travel zone and the u.k. the interior ministry says quarantine will only be recommended if people are coming

from countries with high numbers of infections travelers from countries will still face a 2 week quarantine. so head on al-jazeera and ferret out break the fast covered $9000.00 cases reported in a refugee camp in bangladesh. colo we got more heavy rain into southern parts of chart of the seasonal downpours these of course just pushing out to the southwest of china in sioux the eastern side of the country rowing across the east china sea and heading towards the korean peninsula and also into japan so there's that west of weather that conveyor of heavy downpours which will push their way into the southern half of japan much of honshu seeing some rather wet weather on the cool side for take

kong's police watchdog a 999 page report released by the independent police complaints council i own my months of police conduct to some of the largest antigovernment protests ever seen the told to. protest is being beaten by masked men with sticks and boards as police were accused of turning a blind eye. the use of force by love to cast a protest isn't supposed to sions. the one with. the siege of hong kong's the gist of the council. all provoked accusations of excess force pollution and inaction by the police which prompted the watchdogs inquiry the council said the use of force largely met its national guard lines and offered

$52.00 recommendations including on the future use of tear gas i'm training for officers confronting protesters. protests which originally or then degenerated into violent protests using little or kinds in fact against police and others property was destroyed. and this is the situation that our police force was faced with and they're facing this situation of course they have to enforce law and they have to protect. just a geisha to the police conduct was one of the key to mobs of antigovernment protesters but the inquiry by a council with no part to hold office is accountable that short of protest is demand it claiming that the public is biased and that the police nothing wrong which group that the police washed up is far more serving the interest of the frothy is. what began as peaceful demonstrations against home. extradition bill

netanyahu pushes ahead with plans to annex parts of the west bank israel's new coalition government which will be sworn in on sunday plans to absorb up to 30 percent of the west bank including large parts of the jordan valley on a cane has more from the. world what one thing is clear the man in charge of this meeting i. to for external 1st of the e.u. your support has said that this is the dominant element of the meeting but he has also said in the past few days that there's no question that sanctions or anything like that is going to happen any time soon he sent that the that the council of ministers are far from that sort of position but they are keen to find out what options are available but they also stress that this is a divisive issue clearly here in berlin it is divisive because the government of the federal republic of germany indeed successive governments of the federal republic of germany have stressed what they believe is

a special relationship that they have with the state of israel so it places them in a bit of a quandary because the foreign minister ehud comus who will be taking part in the meeting he has said that he does not believe that annexation is compatible with human rights but of course he finds himself on the horns of this dilemma which is that the german government does not wish to be seen to be strongly criticizing the state of israel given the obvious historical legacy that exists here in germany. dozens of palestinians holding friday prayers were injured after israeli forces fired tear gas that happened in some way a village in the occupied west bank a crowd were praying in an area threatened by annexation illegal israeli settlements have already been built and much of the area around the village. it's been 72 years since hundreds of thousands of palestinians were forcibly evict or fled from their land to make way for the creation of israel the day is known as a lock or the catastrophe lists any and unlike previous years that no rallies or

protests are happening because of the coronavirus pandemic it has more from ramallah in the occupied west bank. as there is a ban on gatherings palestinians are not going to be going to that amala downtown as has been the habit every year and they've been instead asked to commemorate the day on social media sharing stories videos of people who survived the neck but who are still alive until now or their children or grandchildren to tell stories of how palestinians will keep valuing the right of return and that they will never forget that they have lands and houses that they have been either evicted from or that they have to flee from because of the war back but now looking at the current political situation the dreams of refugees seem to be fading away with israel not only rejecting them the whole idea of return but also that israel is looking

now for grabbing more land we are expecting an israeli government in the next few days and an extension of parts of the jordan valley and that you get israeli settlements in the occupied west bank at high on its agenda it's worth mentioning that this is the 2nd anniversary of the us moving its embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem it was a big sign and a big support big move of support by the u.s. to israel announce that they recognize jerusalem to be rated capital of course palestinians of long said that they have united nations security council resolutions saying that this is their land but also that the jerusalem is their capital of. thailand a further easing restrictions to get its economy moving again about the store shopping centers and food costs will begin reopening on sunday not because you has also been reduced but international funds remain banned which is bad news for the
