battle's potential new pandemic will bring you the latest developments from around the globe al-jazeera has a team similar ground to remove brutally documentaries and life mean. this is al-jazeera. hello and welcome i'm peter dhabi you're watching the news our live from our headquarters here in doha coming up in the next 60 minutes calls for mass gatherings in the u.k. to press for further easing of the coronavirus restrictions. could prices soar in nigeria worsening the plight of many who are out of work and struggling to survive . plus we look at why the coronavirus pandemic is changing how when and where we'll

work in the future. i'm going to go just go with sports as football returns to germany after 2 months shut down there are 6 games in the bundesliga on saturday but with strict health and safety rules in place and no friends at stadiums. ok there we are here we go borders and beaches reopening across europe today as countries look to stem the economic damage from coronavirus restrictions in the u.k. there were calls for mass gatherings around the country on saturday to protest against the lockdown the pandemic has ravaged economies particularly the tourism and hospitality sectors the un's world tourism organization says the number of international tourists could fall by up to 80 percent this year our correspondent wrote chalons joins us live now from brighton on the south coast of the u.k.

the beach is empty at the moment rory but the weather's fine set for the weekend i guess people be trying to make the most of it. yes brighton is just a short train ride from london just over an hour away and on any normal weekends in late spring or summer particularly warm weekends like this one is forecast to be this beach would be absolutely rahm's with people day trippers coming from the capital and from other parts of the south of england the fear is as today progress is sunday's supposed to be even warmer than today that you might see people coming in considerable numbers there have been warnings from local authorities and police forces from around the country the local beauty spots parks national parks beaches etc should not be turned into day tripping locations just because the

restrictions that people have been living with for the last few months have been eased slightly this is the 1st weekend that has come along since the easing on wednesday of restrictions people are now being allowed out to do an unlimited amount of exercise outside. they can travel to go and do their exercise they can get far away from their houses but people are being warned don't come to places like brighton beach stay roughly where you are risk spreading this disease any further undoing the work that has been done is not the only argument is going on in the u.k. in the moment after say there is an argument of course over whether or not schools should be opens the government is planning or aiming at least for june the 1st for a partial reopening of primary schools for young children only a few years within those schools might be having but its teachers unions aren't

particularly keen on this idea of doctors organization the british medical council says that it's not keen on the idea it's taken the children. commissioner of the u.k. to weighed in saying hold on a 2nd let's everybody try to work towards a solution stop squabbling about this stop making a political let's do what's best for the kids and as far as these anti lockdown protests are concerned do we know how many people will actually take part in any demonstration that may or may not happen i guess. well at that so we're going to have to wait and see there's one that's supposed to be taking place here in brighton later on today there is also. for hyde park in central london. they are i think still a free nge section of british society people who would be prepared to go out and protest against lockdown measures we've seen such protests taking place in other

countries in germany in the united states where people towards the more libertarian or right wing end of the political political spectrum think that essentially coronavirus is either something is being hyped up by governments around the world or it's just an outright hoax i think the you know that the public feeling in the u.k. is still very much that lockdown is a good thing it's necessary and by and large people have been observing it so i would suspects might be proved wrong but i would suspect that the numbers who are going to be attending these protests later on today are going to be relatively small and as far as even the protestors or the people who want to go to a beauty spot the people who want to get to the beach or just not be within you know 2 or 3 kilometers of their own front doors is the overarching worry one of our knees order do most people feel the worst is behind us we can start taking those

baby steps back to normality. well obviously after many many weeks months indeed of being cooped up in your own home with the same people he's been sharing space with for days and days on days and days people are aging to get out and he has the government says is saying this is your chance really to go out and stretch your legs a bit and have a bit more freedom than you've been used to that i think people will be taking those opportunities and they will be going further than they have been but it's you know the news over the last few days in the u.k. is that this rates there that the scientific by which scientists talk about the reproduction of the virus within the population has been edging up and that's a worrying sign because the closely you get back on our rates of one

then that means that the spread of the virus within the population is again starting to increase out of control and this is a public policy as we knew it would be that is seen as you start lifting restrictions slightly then you could get that our rates rising again and there might have to be this kind of flow of restrictions try and play this sort of dance with the with the virus trying to get it low but it's the same time tried not to enforce 'd more restrictions on people than they are willing to put up with rory thanks very much sylvania has now become the 1st european country to declare an end to the pandemic its government says the virus spread is under control and there's no longer a need for restrictions the residents of free to cross into slovenia from austria italy and hungary at certain check points while most known e.u.

nationals will have to go into a 14 day quarantine. thailand's reporting no new cases and no deaths as it starts to lift more restrictions hours off sunday it's nightly curfew will be shorter and shopping centers gyms museums and some other businesses will be allowed to reopen the government says it's wary about a possible 2nd wave of infections several countries have reported children being treated in hospital or dying from an inflammatory illness similar to the rare car sackings disease the head of the world health organization says is studying a possible link to covert 19 reports from europe and north america have described a small number of children being admitted to intensive care units with their multisystem inflammatory condition with some future is similar to kauai circus this is an toxic shock syndrome initial reports hypothesize that

this syndrome may be related to 19 it's critical to already gentle and carefully cut out their eyes this clinical syndrom to understand causality and to describe treatment interventions. plenty more still to come for you here on the news hour including loud and proud and still wearing mosques protestors are back in hong kong shopping malls. and striking a balance between health and wealth the challenge of saving lives and protecting economies. also ahead the english football song who's helping a lower league team close to this through the coronavirus pandemic. members of the hong kong protest movement have gathered at shopping malls across the city dressed to blend into the crowds they sing and shout slogans and then

disperse the movement's leaders are calling for an independent inquiry into police actions during the protests from last year now on friday police watchdog released a new report saying some changes were required but the force had mostly stayed within its guidelines al-jazeera sarah clarke is at one of those shopping centers where she's been speaking with the protestors. restrictions have eased in hong kong as a result of these protests the saudi again and the government groups are targeting shopping centers and this weekend there are a number of rallies planned the police are here in the checking identification of some nice people present in this particular mall and also the security guard telling people here that they must not gather in in groups of more than i people of the like this is not letting out they want to carry them to resign and then what china to stop interfering in her own political affairs they're also angry at the place accusing them of using excessive force and brutality during last year's

protests just part of them just at the bit you dependent commission of inquiry that she's doing used to do so to just the attitude of the government and most of the home callers to the attitude that they don't want to listen to people that a government backed watchdog defended the police actions last year during the anti-government protests but said this room for improvement within the police force but these protests groups say that will continue until i see justice and i also want to further investigation into the police force and what i described as excessive force used on the protest groups during last year's and a government demonstration. a 3 trillion dollar package in the u.s. aimed at helping those struggling to deal with fallout of the pandemic has passed its 1st hurdle in congress however donald trump the u.s. president is threatening to veto it is heidegger castro. at no time since the great depression have such a large number of americans sought help after losing their jobs and never in u.s. history has their spending at stores and restaurants fallen so quickly and so far

now some of the members say let's take a pause let's take a pause do you think this virus is taking a pause do you think that the rant takes a pause do you think that putting food on the table and where the hunger that comes if you can't takes a pause house democrats advance yet another coronavirus rescue package on friday. the 5th of a pandemic this one totaling 3 trillion dollars it seeks to extend unemployment benefits and send more checks to american families and would bail out the postal service and address election security republicans who control the senate have called it a partisan ideological wish list that will never become law the senate will not consider this bill the president will not sign it into law speaking from the white house rose garden into a background symphony of truck drivers protesting his handling of the pandemic

president trump announced the formation of a fast track program to develop a vaccine and have 300000000 doses available by january when a vaccine is ready the u.s. government will deploy every plane druck and filled required to help distribute it to the american people as quickly as possible but trump in the size that with or without the vaccine the u.s. economy is ready to restart that's contrary to the advice of government health officials who've warned it reopening too soon could trigger another outbreak now people get a little antsy with the mask and. they really want to come out more than 2 thirds of u.s. states have now canceled or significantly relaxed stay at home orders now as more people and their weeks of social isolation it's far from clear how safe is the world they venture into. castro al-jazeera silver spring maryland. well the proposed aid package in the u.s.

is fueling the argument over how best to call the global pandemic and how best to save lives and save jobs let's discuss those issues with dr gloria tani ani she joins us from italy she is a member of the covert 19 task force of the italian civil protection service and we have the economist in london he is a former advisor of the world trade organization and the european commission welcome to you both gloria tally and coming to you 1st how does any government anywhere around the world strike a balance between getting the economy back on track and making sure people don't get infected again. i think this is the real point of this moment because after we have faced how difficult could be to nana just to handle the errors and the c.d.c. induced by the virus now we have to preserve our herds nevertheless it must be seriously. convinced about the need for coming back to life

which is another way of life. so in any kind of work do we have to really think about our hero and say ok save at the same time we have to look forward and cart began to leak. in london do people feel unfairly pressured to go back to work. but i think that western economies have ended up in the worst of both worlds governments were. complacent and incompetent about the spread of the coronavirus they then panicked and imposed lockdowns and then as the economic cost is increasingly prohibitive they are rushing to reopen the economy prematurely especially in the u.s.

and it seems to me therefore that there is this kind of false trade off of licenses like you that actually you can save lives and save jobs and the model for that is asian countries such as south korea where they've adopted a model of mass testing and a contact tracing and they haven't impose that lockdowns and therefore instead of having a philosophical debate about you know is it people versus profits all or life for the jobs we should be actually being more effective at pursuing but gloria coming back to you i guess that's a perfectly valid point isn't it what south korea did was the gold standard they acted fast they acted starlee they acted with complete transparency but do you understand why people are accusing certain politicians of being more than a little bit hypocritical with this debate because occurs to me that if you're a manual worker if you work in construction if you work in public transport if you work in 2 or as i'm not necessarily low skilled jobs but certainly low paid jobs

you have to go back to work on public transport if you're a white collar worker if you're a boss if you're the c.e.o. if you're a politician you're possibly being chauffeur driven around and you're not going to encounter the virus if the virus is still out there. yes this is a crucial point because what we should really do is to teach people how to safe themselves from infection how to protect themselves from infection because the virus is there we know that the virus is symbol throat of many people probably 1100000 more peoples feel infected than see steve capable of transmitted infection but nevertheless we can really manage to protect ourselves and keep working because if all people move where masts and

surgical mask is that to protect our of those from our infection in this case we can really and efficiently the safe stay safe stay protected and start again to making an almost life work of saw show who can contacts and. just think case you cannot wear masks for instance if you go jogging will fall banking more things like that and it's difficult to wear a mask while making or. exercise in these cases you can avoid wearing masks but keeping distance because the virus is these. inside the droplets we produce when we talk when we sing when we breath and if we make a distance movement training that a physical distance from other people then drops droplets fall down and the viruses

as well is falling down therefore it's not like to leave which is included in that drop that nuclear i and therefore it may be then to these. areas. of common cut especially inside the houses in. in this case droplets fall down and therefore we leave the free rare masts and we keep distance in case we can not wear masks we can be say ok i mean clearly fairly there is almost a symbolism isn't there to wearing a mask it's one is displaying one's social conscience one's social awareness but for you are we saying that certain governments only have themselves to blame as they try to plot a course back to economic normality without compromising people's lives literally because they reacted wrongly they left it too late and when they did react they

didn't react strongly enough. but you know i think when we look back on this when historians look back at this i think one of the stories that our tower has that this is part of the decline of the west 1st of all the financial crisis shredded the reputation for economic calm to competence and now it turns out that western governments the u.s. in particular isn't capable of handling a public health emergency and certainly doing much worse. than asian countries are and this is often pictures a kind of is it democracy or to dictatorship and actually i think that's that that's that that's not that the right comparison it's asian economies are doing much better and one of the ways in which they've done much better obviously is learning the lessons from sars and the mass adoption of masks and partly for for reasons of lack of preparedness the us and the and europe have been less willing to

encourage the use of mass because they haven't had enough mass to go around and so they pussyfoot around and there's been a sort of cultural prejudice that somehow this was an agent for behavior which was alien to and to europe and the u.s. and i think finally that's now are changing in about time to gloria coming back to you do you detect a certain overlap between specifically a very particular kind of president or prime minister who have i'm thinking here about boris johnson donald trump and joy of also narrow their critics have criticized them for talking jibberish and sending out mixed messages day after day news conference after news conference and it's those 3 countries america the u.k. and brazil of course where we've seen those countries being hit and hit really hard by covert 19 and yet you have a president a president and a prime minister being cornered and being held to account and then kind of

wriggling off the hook of being held to a currency by reporters in those news conferences. i think that this there is a very uncomfortable position to. to. carry to come to such a storm. and speaking clearly is the best. every president every prime minister can do obviously the the politicians they have our other needs to preserve. our own electoral kind probably but they have oldfield the responsibility of whatever they do and the health of the country. therefore i made to him that every day my son must be a very dangerous and difficult to do to carry on and oh misalliance in any country there is

a degree of freedom in terms and also of power comes when they see sion in any prime minister any president may handle in a different way in different counties and therefore i made in that the capability is mainly linked to the degree of freedom that each prime minister can have or can handle in new sound comes ok philip in london last point to you briefly please felipe we've just been looking at pictures there of boris johnson with his fiance doing the applause thing that's happening 8 o'clock every thursday night in the u.k. for the n.h.s. clearly they are at the cutting edge of the fight against this does some of it come down to how people feel empowered or not to interpret those mixed messages so people i guess the issue here is one of choice people should be allowed to choose whether they go back to work or not given what the government is saying given what

the health minister is a saying wherever you are in the world but they feel that they can't refuse to go back to work because they might lose their jobs. i think you made a very important point earlier that there is a clear inequality between upton blue collar workers who you have to work on the spot face to face and white collar workers who can often work remotely and therefore are stay safe and in so far as governments are cutting back on their support measures and in so far as and workers are pressured to go back to work when it's not safe taking the crowded public transport and so on and then clearly there's going to be a great inequality in the rest that people are taking and understandable resentment are. ok we must leave it there gloria tell jani and felipe legrand thank you both very much. thank you. the us department store chain j.c. penney has become the latest corporate casualty of the pandemic is now the 4th

major american retail it's a file for bankruptcy protection the company has nearly 850 branches and employs 90000 people it had been suffering from financial problems for some time anyway and the law made things a lot worse. the u.s. president on the trump has fired a top government watchdog who was reportedly investigating the secretary of state mike pompei oh mr trump says the state department inspector general steve linnik no longer has his confidence and is the latest in a series of moves against independent watchdogs critical of the trump white house arrest of the knicks will be replaced by steven and caught an ally of vice president mike pence. while many states in the us are reopening parts of their economies despite public health experts warning that will lead to a surge in deaths from covert 19 arizona is one such states but there are all those opposing the move is rob reynolds. demonstrators laid body bags on the grounds of the arizona state capitol in phoenix they are protesting republican governor

doug do sees decision to lift covert 19 restrictions on restaurants jim sent other businesses among the demonstrators practicing social distancing was retired health care safety officer shirley shape burger her 1st 3 governors in says decision ringback the body bags out there with the grim reaper was very difficult because we think it's really doesn't happen do she says the time is right for gradual reopening this is a green light to continue going forward on the way out of this pandemic now this is not a green light to speed. this is a green light to proceed and we're going to proceed with caution president donald trump is pushing to reopen the u.s. economy despite warnings from health officials like dr anthony fauci but a large majority of people do not fully agree with doocey or trump

a new poll shows more than 80 percent of arizona say they're not ready to return to gyms restaurants hair salons and other public spaces those results are similar to nationwide polls more than 150 arizona business owners signed an online letter saying it is too soon to reopen arizona award winning chef and restaurant tour charlene badman says the risks to her customers and staff are far too great you know with possibility that. both say they're frustrated with the media and widespread misinformation if it's a hoax still there are still people out there that don't believe this is is real and press is getting a lot of attention since the people that want to reopen opponents of early reopening fear it will lead to another outbreak which will then force officials to clamp down again magnifying the economic damage it's just all situation.

and nobody wants their grandmothers and i would think. certainly not so they can go mobile and to date more than 620 arizona nz have died from covert 19 and the number of new infections is rising set to reopen this weekend movie theaters rob reynolds al-jazeera. and things 23 migrant workers have been killed in northern india when their truck collided with another vehicle it happened in the state of pradesh it's the latest incident involving laborous is the trying to return home during the lockdown and as a purana has more details from the capital you dad. the migrant workers were in a group of about 50 people who were traveling from the western state of roger in a launch truck carrying limestone and other construction material they were from the states of just going to be there for the west bengal and we're just trying to

war. welcome back you're watching the al-jazeera news our live from our headquarters here in doha you're headlining stories police in the u.k. are preparing for possible protests against coronavirus prescriptions now that comes as england is relaxing it's locked out with some people returning to work this past week house of truth to work with a time but there are concerns that they're moving too fast and it could spark a 2nd wave of infection is donald trump the u.s. president is threatening to veto a 3 trillion dollars support package for those affected by the pandemic it's been voted through the house of representatives. of the news members of hong kong's protest movement to gather the shopping malls across the city the movement leaders

are calling for an independent inquiry into police actions during the protests last year. there are signs of hope in italy after the government announced it would allow travel to and from the country starting next month since march italy has been under one of the strictest lockdowns anywhere in the world and it's hit the tourism related economy hard his priyanka gupta. empty tables deserted holds rooms steeped in history left without visitors there's no one to the gilded walls of italy's finest nazi hotels instead a ghostly silence on the once bustling terraces the symbol of a pandemic that swept through italy leaving thousands dead devastating its economy is that this hole would have been crowded noisy with people chatting at the bar visitors passing by and appreciating the beauty of these halls now it's empty

lonely is a 1st time in almost 80 years of the history of this hotel which was built in the thirty's is empty and closed. but there are signs of hope the government is allowing people into and out of italy from early next month free travel within the country will also receive a number you're going to get we look forward to the reopening of borders and then there might be the possibility for travel forecast the not positive but we are very optimistic. a low eighty's coastlines hotel owners are preparing for a different kind of summer but on the other we're ready to host tourists who come to the veneto coast in these last weeks we work to adapt our beaches our hotels and our campsites to the current health emergency we were able to guarantee the celebrity of a seaside holiday caution is critical for an industrial that contributes per 1000 percent to its knees g.d.p. and employs more than 4000000 people the economic impact of the pandemic has been

devastating i'm a better life in the line of we're estimating they will lose about 18000000000 dollars in 2 reason this year but we need to understand what will happen tomorrow on wards if hotels have a possibility to reopen giving foreign tourists the chance to reach italy we will limit those damages with many countries restricting all travel tourist numbers are predicted to fall by between 60 to 80 percent this year globally but many hope that with enough the children's business can get moving again and the lights can finally be turned back on. houses into. well as countries begin easing their restrictions many people have become used to working from home some are wondering whether those changes will be the new normal long term twitter c.e.o. jack dorsey of course announcing a couple weeks ago that his employees can carry on working from home indefinitely

and facebook and google say their staff can continue until next year many companies are doing a cost benefit analysis restrictions eased research shows benefits include greater productivity and. improved work life balance and better mental health but some employees feel isolated or distracted posing a challenge for employers let's talk now to casey while in tokyo he's the c.e.o. of a tune dot ai a web based platform that analyzes employee motivation k.c. good to talk to you again so clearly a lot of people despite the shortcomings or not have managed to get their skill set set up on the kitchen table in the spare bedroom wherever they've been working from but to the bosses to the to the managers have the skill set to manage a workforce that spread around the place i think it's very limited quite frankly like a menage meant to dig in where it is is not absent even when we were all sitting in the same room and you could look over and see how somebody was doing there were men

injuries that struggled with it to understand each employee's intrinsic motivation how to get the best out of them and now you can see people you don't know how they're feeling you don't get those spontaneous kind of interactions it's really going to be a struggle and i think we're going to kind of see faces many companies are going to get to actually go interest ritual get you got to zoom calls or the skype calls or the collaboration tools but how do you keep people productive how do you deal with the mental health i think there is a mental health benefits but there's also a kind of loneliness in the people that have social relationships as a big intrinsic motivator how are they going to be able to get their needs met epicene so there's a lot of complications i will be coming for these next 2 years for us ok when it comes to that mental health issue i guess what we're also talking about is emotional equity librium are there characteristics to people who can hack it and people who can't or people that's not a judge mental so i officially apologize for forming it and that way people who would prefer to go to an office

a place of work do their 8 or 9 hours and then go home. absolutely i think there's people that if they don't happen to feel they can't have any productivity and kind of their life satisfaction goes down depending on what their motivations are so some people the whole reason for them going to work like we have data is in it to not so social relationships and going to build those relationships are why they go and if they're going to be working from remote for too long by themselves only seeing their families which has good things of course over and over and over it they're not going to be able to do it so it i think it's there's a certain segment that wants to be in the office all the time and it's a segment that really like the remote work and would prefer this to be it but it's going to be difficult for companies this is probably the majority in between that like a little bit of there's a little bit of that and how do you set up policies because if it's remote work 1st then it's kind of easier to manage everybody you get everybody on the skype call

but if there's groups in person and groups outside you don't have that equal kind of conversation and the level of relationship isn't building that you at home so there's a lot of challenges at 1st were excited smarts for what we're doing here but there's a lot of challenges and. i think mental health is going to be a big issue is once kind of everybody gets you know to able to go back to work like once the lockdowns and restrictions start there's going to be this excitement hey i can finally work but it's in there's going to be more difficulties is it may be easier for the younger generation i mean this is purely anecdotal a couple friends of mine they're in their thirty's they are app designers they love the way they work because as long as they've got an i pad pro or a laptop they can do 6 hours on a sunday morning and then go snowboarding or they can do 4 hours on a tuesday and then go out to dinner it's the older generation maybe people in their fifty's or their sixty's who carry on who want to carry on working but they're maybe not completely tech savvy they're not completely used to having virtual

relationships and they kind of bring a value judgement in on themselves in that regard if they're in that kind of crucially 50 year old plus age group. i certainly think there is you know so a little bit of generational kind of in traditional ways of business culture that would be harder to break for example here in japan where we're base is they still have this corporate seal culture so to do anything basically it's companies to make a contract to sign up for a telephone service you have to physically have a corporate c.e.o. which means you have to go to the office and do all these kind of stampings and all the generations that is their basic line of trust ok this is what works for a signature and kind of japan in the not gonna want to switch but there are those groups of your friends that are designers that chose that lifestyles but there's a lot of us that haven't chosen to kind of remember do remote work and because of social distancing we're going to have to do some form of it and what we see across our data as well is actually the motivations for our millennial zoom in kind of

generations see in the older generations they still it's pretty equally statistically so people with high social relationship needs and lower talking needs are statistically the same in different generations and you know if i look at some of my older children that kind of were raised to generally and you know they're used to having full relationships some friends but they're dying not being able to go back to school and have those kind of interest cool in person relationships and just get that environment thing so i think for that certain segment that's shows it this can work well but there's a whole population that hasn't chosen this is going to be kind of tricky for employers and managers to figure it out ok casey we must leave it there good to talk she thanks very much casey well there in japan thank you. dozens of babies have been left stranded in ukraine because of restrictions to control the spread of the virus the babies were born to surrogate mothers and that you to be collected by parents from the u.s. europe and elsewhere being cared for at hotels on the outskirts of the capital city

kiev ukraine like many countries around the world has closed its borders to foreigners. if you hadn't yet seen these children who are here today they are all problematic because they can't go to their parents they are from china or from spain italy the us and focus area everyone is in the same situation because the borders are closed. in other news iraq's courts are resisting an order from the new prime minister to release nearly 100 n.t. government protesters is being seen as mostafa 1st test of power as he tries to push ahead with promised reforms similar 14 reports no from back that. another fruitless visit to baghdad central criminal court a bus and without son is a took took driver and was detained in february while taking part in anti-government protests. that brought up the charges against my son is that he blocked the roads he didn't threw petrol bombs he didn't even carry a mobile he's
