player moving in on a little piece of northeast england. counting the cost on al jazeera. this is al-jazeera. peter dhabi you're watching the news live from our headquarters here and coming up in the next 60 minutes a slow move to reopen parts of europe but caution remains to prevent any 2nd wave of coronavirus infections. rwandan genocide suspect. is arrested in france after decades on the run. through prices soar in nigeria worsening the

plight of many who are out of work and struggling to survive during the pandemic. also ahead we'll look at how the coronavirus crisis is changing when and where we'll work in the future. i'm going to go with sports. to germany after 10 months sat down there are 6 games in the benz league on saturday but with strict health and safety rules in place and no fans stadiums. signs of cautious optimism are emerging in europe as many countries begin to ease travel restrictions and reopen some sectors of their economies italy has announced it will open up travel to and from the country starting next month it will scrap 14 day quarantine rules and low previously banned trips within the country but you. he

is also easing some restrictions with people finally now allowed to travel across the country the government is permitting people to head outside not just for exercise but is cautioning them to stay alert in greece beaches can now be enjoyed by the general public but there are rules on the number of people allowed and how close together they can get sport is back in germany with the return of the bundles legal football matches their 6 games we played on saturday but spectators will not be allowed let's talk to rory chalons in a 2nd after we get the latest from 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 luxury 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 the 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 they want to 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 . along italy'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 a critical point industry that contributes per 1000 percent to italy's g.d.p. and employs more than 4000000 people the economic impact of the pandemic has been devastating of the life you know the line of we're estimating that will lose about 18000000000 dollars in tourism this year but we need to understand what will happen from tomorrow on wards if hotels have a possibility to reopen in june giving foreign tourist the chance to reach italy we will limit those damages with many countries district and travel tourist numbers are predicted to fall by between 60 to 80 percent of this locally. but maybe hope that with enough vigilance business can get moving again and the lights can finally be turned back on. on sr. ok let's move now to the beaches of brighton in the u.k.

on the south coast on the saucers coast where restrictions have been lifted rory chalons joins us live so rory how many people are they expecting there this coming weekend. no and that's the thing i was just speaking to a counselor here who is for the green party and he was saying that it's against every fiber in his body to say this but he's advising anyone who is thinking of coming down to brighton on a day trip either from london or or elsewhere in the south of england just don't do it because if you come here in great numbers you risk bringing. the disease with you again at a time when the country is just starting to find its way back to well it's not normal life yet but trying to get in that direction and if you can look behind me you can see that these beaches are pretty deserted on any normal weekend in the

late spring or summer in any normal year these beaches here would be absolutely rahm's but they're not the moments and the message from from the counselor that we had here in brighton is being repeated in. local authorities saying the same thing all around this country after the government's slightly ease the restrictions are in the week with boris johnson dropping his stay at home message and replacing it with a much ridicules stay alert message instead the message coming from the places is we still want you to stay at home don't come here and there are plans for schools to start reopening just in a few weeks how likely is that. well that hangs in the balance as well. as for ready primary schools to

open in some capacity. june it wouldn't be all the years going back to school it would be 2 or 3 years going back for. and then see how that goes the others may follow down the line but there has been opposition to this coming from unions that represent teachers and also for the british medical council basically saying it's too soon to do this the unions that represent teachers saying we have to see evidence that you can safeguard the health of teachers before you allow a significant number of peoples to come back into schools again it is of course bit of an argument. when he gets bodies like the unions and the british medical council arguing against what the government is doing then that makes news it's made so much news that the children's commissioner. longfield has stepped in and said for god's sake that stop squabbling we should all be working together at this time let's do

what's right for the kids and let's see if we can find some way of working this out amicably and is maybe worth restating here as well that we are just at the moment talking about england i guess as well because if you go north and go across the border into scotland or go west and go into wales different administrations different governments have got a different reaction to where the entire u.k. is as of now in the fight against covert 19. yeah absolutely you know while the the u.k. government based in westminster has primacy there are devolved governments in parliaments in scotland and wales and also another one in northern ireland and the devolved parliaments and governments in scotland and wales have nots lifted any of the restrictions so you do have this rather strange situation in the u.k. where there are effectively completely open borders between england and wales and

england and scotland and yet there are different rules being implemented are suppose it's another example of the full lines of the u.k. being exposed and we have seen that happen in recent times with bracks it's and we're seeing it happen again with the coronavirus pandemic laura thanks very much well as we were saying earlier germany is taking some steps back to normal life the bundles league or football tournament is resuming and the country plans to open its borders to european travellers but protests are planned with many people demanding an end to virus for struction all together to berlin and al-jazeera as correspondent my colleague dominic cain dom good afternoon so the blunders leader is reopening but there's a twist no fans allowed. yes 6 matches today a match tomorrow all taking place and the remember that the man in charge of the

bundesliga has said he knows that that his league resuming their resuming as it were under probation and of course there are no founds in any of the stadiums which will be hosting matches some darby matches taking place today and yet nobody there to see the games of course some of the games will be televised so it will be possible to see these games but clearly this is what they called in german guys to be the ghost games as it were where no one's really there taking place behind closed doors but the imperative here coming from the officials they want to get the season completed they want to see a title awarded they want to see sport resume as far as possible and they're also aware that many leagues around europe many people around europe so fans will be where you switching on to try and watch some football because they haven't seen any in their own countries but also the football associations in many other countries are looking upon germany looking at the bundesliga now and saying well is this a template we can follow to be clear about this piece or the regulations brought in

not just that there are no fans there but the teams are having to submit themselves the coaches the players to very regular testing for the coronavirus and on the basis of that testing they are then able to field squads that can take part of your teams or other can take part in these matches but as i said the man in charge of the league has said that that he realizes that it's starting again but under probation and still a few fringe protests planned across the country today how big do you think they're going to be. well certainly over the course of the last few weekends there has been a growing tide of process no i don't want to to give the impression that it's many many hundreds of thousands or anything like that it's not the case but what's happening is you are finding protesters demonstrators a mixture of young people who perhaps feel that the coronavirus is not something they have to worry about perhaps wrongly in that case but then also you have people

from the far right fringes of society certainly that's been the case in on previous weekends and indeed on the 1st of march there were quite a few right wing protests the 1st of may may day in the important day there were some protesters out but also left wing extreme protesters but what's happening generally speaking is that the far right is trying to get people out onto the streets to say we've had enough the interesting thing though peter one last thought on that opinion poll out today says that around 80 percent of german society accepts the the lockdown restrictions as they are right now so it really is only a minority who do not accept them don thanks very much. plenty more ground still to cover for you here on the news hour including these stories babies are ready to be taken home but their parents can't come to collect them we'll tell you why. more bold claims from the u.s. president but experts warn against his suggestion of a covert 19 vaccine by the end of this year. an english football star who's helping

a lower league team close to his heart so it is coronavirus pandemic. the 3 trillion dollar package in the united states aimed at helping those struggling to deal with the fallout of the pandemic has passed its 1st hurdle in congress but president trump is threatening to veto it it's hard to jocasta it's 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 rent takes a pause do you think that putting food on the table and or the hunger that comes if

you can't take 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 bipartisan 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 pan. demick 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 soldier required to help this tribute it to the american people as quickly as possible but trump into sized that with or

without a vaccine the u.s. economy is ready to restart that's contrary to the advice of government health officials who've warned reopening too soon could trigger another outbreak now people are getting a little antsy with the mass. 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 president from certainly has a lot of planes trucks and soldiers at his disposal but can operation warp speed produce a safe and effective vaccine in such a short amount of time he did provide some clues as to how this might actually work while we accelerate the final phases of vaccine trials operation warp speed will be

simultaneously accelerating its manufacturing and manufacturing process in other words we're getting ready so that when we get the good word that we have the vaccine we have the formula we have what we need we're ready to go as opposed to taking years to gear up we're gearing up it's risky it's expensive but we'll be saving massive amounts of time will be saving years. well there are sort of timetabling has never been tried before hundreds of millions if not billions will need to be produced while human trials are still taking place something could be ready by january but there's no guarantee it will actually be effective this year's flu vaccine is only 45 percent effective we're talking there about the ordinary strain of the flu the record holder for the fastest vaccine ever approved that was for mumps took 5 years but safety standards and regulations have been dramatically improved since then the vaccine process usually takes

a decade but sometimes 2 or 3 and only a fraction of the vaccines are ever approved for public use let's speak now to chris smith who's a consultant just at the university of cambridge as well as host and editor of the naked scientists podcast chris welcome to al-jazeera walk me through how to make a vaccine from scratch well right now let's take a look at what the space looks like around the world for corona virus vaccines there are more than $100.00 projects currently in train in different countries and they're exploring at least 10 different avenues in facts in development these range from the good old fashioned ways of growing viruses in dishes busting them apart and then injecting the chemical shrapnel to see if you can persuade the immune system to respond right through to very new cutting edge techniques where you inject just the genetic information corresponding to one part of the virus and then you rely on the immune cells picking up that genetic message translating it and

then educating itself from that information ok it's a raft of different ways of doing this but of course the thing to bear in mind we have never made a corona virus vaccine let alone corona coronas virus vaccine in under a year ok is there a happy medium between what donald trump is talking about on the one hand and reality on the other hand. well the reality is that we urgently need a vaccine and at the moment there are 8000000000 people on earth give or take the maybe 4000000 or so who core coronavirus who are all susceptible to this and one sure fire way to solve our present situation is to confer immunity on everybody by getting a vaccine to everybody but that doesn't mean that we jump the gun and we make the situation worse we have got to be very cautious about this because we know what the risk is from corona virus and we know that about one percent of people may lose their life to it well if we make a vaccine that actually has

a bigger risk profile than that then actually arguably it's better to catch coronavirus and take your chances than it is to take the vaccine and that's what clinical trials are for but at the same time there are situations where sometimes you have to take short cuts because the loss of life potentially that you are avoiding is greater if you can get a vaccine into people than if you do go the long route take your time and guarantee that it's safe to your basically trading safety against potential loss of life if you don't move faster ok here's the thing if we got 7 and a half 8000000000 people around the planet who need access to this vaccine who do you phone who is the company that you call when you say ok we need 8000000000 of those little glass phials to put the vaccine into we need hundreds of thousands of people who can administer the vaccine how does that all play out. well a good thing to look at is the situation for flu because this is

a well oiled machine which has been working for decades of making flu vaccines now flu is a very different virus but at the end of the day you're still doing the same thing you're producing a vaccine which you then deploy into whole populations that scale millions of doses there are companies many of them that a very well sorted for doing this they actually have a good production process for making vaccines and making safe vaccines but the difference between that and where we find ourselves with the corona virus is that we understand how to make flu vaccines it's a well tried well tested system if we have to make a whole new vaccine in a whole new way which is what this corona virus vaccine will end up being it's not going to be going down a well trodden path so we have to assume that we can do it as well as we can do it the flu but that is an if it is a guess we have to hope but that would be the way you do it that actually you then use the machinery that's already in place with these very large corporations big pharmaceutical companies that know how to do this and they have the network for

deployment and they've also got to work at government level because this is something that's got to come from the top every country has got to be working together on this because if we don't help everybody to do this all together then it's a bit like sweeping all of the dirt out of your backyard into the street and the next wind that comes on will blow back in again as the scientists are making the vaccine hopefully a successful vaccine other 2 other components here that we've got to think about one there will be surely by that point over the next 18 months or 2 years growing herd immunity anyway people who've had it they may not know they've had it even but they've survived and they're back doing their thing having an ordinary life but on the other hand there's a negative which is in certain areas around the world it might go from being a pandemic to being endemic. i think it's going to become endemic and that means in other words it's just circulating all the time anyway this virus is so well optimized to spreading among humans and persisting in the population i think it

will just join the ranks of the existing for common human coronavirus is that circulates anyway so i think probably that is sort of a given in terms of the herd immunity side of things at the moment the numbers of people who actually have this as a proportion of the entire world population remain very low in the u.k. we think the numbers where we have reasonable data beginning to emerge now it's about 10 percent of the population of london which was regarded as a hot spot and about 4 percent of the u.k. population as a whole so therefore that means that at the very best and most optimistic projection probably about 90 percent plus of the u.k. population remains susceptible extrapolating that across the world is probably not far wide of the mark so therefore you're right that over time more people will catch it more people will become immune but at the moment at least it's an appreciable number that haven't and therefore an appreciable number that still remain vulnerable and could develop severe symptoms if they catch it ok chris listen good to talk to you thanks so much for coming on christmas thank you in the

u.k. or several countries have reported children being treated in hospital or dying from an inflammatory illness similar to the cow or saccades disease the head of the world health organization says it's studying a possible link to cope with 19 reports from europe and north america described a small number of children being admitted to intensive care units with a multi-system inflammatory condition with some future to simulate to color circus diseases and toxic shock syndrome initial reports hypothesize that this syndrome may be related to 90 in. it's critical to already gently and carefully cut out their eyes this clinical syndrome to understand causality and to describe treatment interventions. un secretary-general and turning to terrorists the only way to defeat the virus is through international solidarity and unity. of

the cause 1000 years shown our friend dr the world these we are not able to fight effectively of items like the koran of idols and that we would need unity and solidarity to defeat the koran of unfortunately there is no unit and that is not enough so that it is specially developing world we see now the vital spreading in africa in latin america in some other parts of asia and unfortunately the east germans will be needed to help those countries defeat the vitals protect their populations and limit the emetic economic and social impact on their people those instruments of solidarity have been very scarce and indeed there has been a division of the vision 1st of all different strategies of different countries not effective coordination of the actions to the feet to the vitals ok let's wrap up some of the top stories for you french police have arrested a businessman who's accused of funding the 19941 genocide he's felicien he's been

on the run for 25 years the french authorities say the 84 year old was living under a false identity near paris during the genocide 8 100000 people were killed and up to a 1000000 were displaced let's bring in answers here as malcolm weapon in the kenyan capital nairobi malcolm who was he who is he. it was closely tied to the government was in power in rwanda. $994.00 the government from which many officials were accused some tried found guilty of genocide and crimes the current leader paul kagame in his rebel army at the time came into rwanda in 1904 they were also accused of massacres an east is that they took power and at that point policing and many others flecked initially flecked to kinshasa the capital of the democratic republic of congo after that was thought many to be he at nairobi for many years in

1908 that he was indicted by the international criminal tribe the beautiful rwanda which sat in neighboring tanzania but they never found him in that court wrapped up a few years ago when barack obama visited here in kenya 14 years ago he called out the kenyan government said policing to nairobi and they should stop hiding in they refute it they deny that but now after 25 years on the run he's appeared in paris in the french want to try him for some of the international crimes malcolm thanks very much ok let's get more on this joining us here on the news are phil clark out of london professor and author on africa phil welcome back to the news hour how significant is this. this is incredibly significant in the sense that google is the highest profile rwanda genocide suspect still at large barriers courts and tribunals have been tracing in the last 25 years in terms of the rwandan

genocide its. genocide couldn't happen without to prove he basically bankrolled the entire genocide he basically produced created and funded the interim white militias which carried out many of the largest massacres during the genocide he also bankrolled the mine station that incited many of the 2 massacres and he also the import of about 500000 machetes into the country without which the killing spree would have been an impossible sort so really without the genocide simply couldn't have happened on and his arrest is an incredibly significant legal moment why has it taken so long. the main reason i think he's he's been on the run for so this long is that he's always found powerful friends who would protect him from as you heard from malcolm one of your correspondents are and he was being protected in kenya for a very long time in fact it's

a great surprise to many rwanda watches that that he's ended up in paris so i don't think many people realize that but he managed to find passage to france this is a key element of this story because could google always had very close relations with with mr owens government in france he's very well connected in the least circles in paris and i think his arrest today will also writes questions about how much science he has received from the french government in recent years what has to happen with him given that somebody is innocent until proven guilty for the p. pull all of rwanda to finally be able to move on completely. there's going to be a very big legal fight now case in the sense that the u.n. tribunal which is still up and running in a residual why it wants to prosecute. the u.n. want to shut that tribunals but i would love to have computer as their last suspect

they would love to go out with a big legal bang but by the same token the rwandan authorities want to prosecute him and to dolly to prosecute configuring to dolly in many ways would be the equivalent of arguments trial in jerusalem it would mean an enormous amount to the rwandan legal system but more importantly it's seen as crucial for rwandan genocide survivors and rwandan society generally that he be prosecuted. in a court room where he can be seen by every general one people and where the impact of that trial can be felt very strongly domestically start over the next few weeks and months we're going to see a big fight between the united nations and the rwandan government who gets to prosecute. prosecute come through in that quarter of a so i will watch very closely here on out to 0 of course phil caught greats talked again phil thanks very much you're welcome. members of hong kong's protest movements have gathered at shopping malls across the city dressed to blend into the crowds they sing and they show slogans and then they dispersed the movement's

leaders are calling for an independent inquiry into police actions during the protests of last year on friday a police watchdog released a report saying some changes were required but the force has mostly stayed within guidelines sarah clarke is at one of the malls where she's been speaking to protesters. restrictions have eased in hong kong as a result of these protests the saudi again and the government groups are targeting shopping centers in 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 of telling people here that they must not gather in groups of more than i people have the right cases are living out they would carry them to resign and in what china to stop interfering in her own political affairs they're also angry at police accusing them of using excessive force and brutality during last year's protests just part of them to set up an independent commission of inquiry was just doing used to do so so it is the attitude of the government and most of the hong kong has done the

attitude that they don't want to listen to people that the government backed and watched and defended the police actions last year during the anti-government protests but said this room for improvement within the police force but these places groups say they 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 the government demonstrations ok time for the weather we've been joined by everton thanks very much peter we could be about to see the 1st named storm of the can season and if we do it will be cold and we do is spout 2 weeks early as well season doesn't start until the 1st of june you know seasonal clutch of storms just stay around the east coast of florida here and that's a deep area of low pressure which may well develop into a tropical storm over the next 12 to 18 hours. also you can see what else that's becoming increasingly organized further west big massive cloud that just around

texas pushing up across oklahoma or indeed into the deep south we have seen some of ballance storms here as well in oklahoma 100 millimeters of rainfall and winds gusting as high as 100 promises caused a destructive weather across the region here heavy rain still into louisiana around 400 millimeters of rain coming down here in the space of 24 hours and that has led to some flash flooding that these 2 systems are going to continue making their way further a swiss and you can just follow the line of what may become so that's going to continue to push its way up towards the mid atlantic states that there is severe storms pushing through that the south that's going to continue driving its way further east was eventually making its way up towards the northeastern corner. i'm frighted weather tucking in behind peter everton thanks very much still to come for you here on the news brazil's health minister resigns after less than a month in the job following disagreements over the president's handling of the pandemic. and the world's best gold for it takes

a swing but i don't know from joe we'll explain in the sports news in about 20 minutes. isolating times the listening post cuts through the noise you've been looking at another side of this story not so much the information around the outbreak but the misinformation separating propaganda from fact it's reality you have to reach a long exposing deal 6 try to manipulate the rhetoric and but they cannot manipulate the listening post your insight going to the media on al-jazeera. the story of. family and freedom on the line. here's a deal at school he heard the sound of large explosions. and the hardships faced in captivity they came for me at midnight they told me to leave my son i said

how can i contact him i saw so much pain in the eyes of the other female prisoners in the our pricing. on al jazeera. welcome back you're watching the news from your top stories the italian government has signed a decree to ease travel restrictions starting early next month all international travel and movement within the country will be allowed now it's really was the 1st country in europe to impose a nationwide lockdown. police in the u.k. are preparing for possible protests against coronavirus restrictions it comes as

england is relaxing its locked on with some people returning to work this past week . in germany the bundesliga football tournament resumes on saturday marking the return of high level sport 6 games will be played but spectators will be allowed. as countries begin easing restrictions many people have become used to working from home some are now wondering whether those changes will be long term the twitter c.e.o. jack dorsey announced last week 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 are lifted research shows benefits include greater productivity and improved work life balance for some and better mental health but not for all however some employees feel isolated or distracted posing a challenge for the employers casey is the c.e.o. of a web based platform that analyzes employee motivation he says managing people's needs

will be challenging if working from home continues. so some people the whole reason for them going to work like we have data is in a tuning that's all 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 a certain segment that really like the remote work and would prefer this to be it but where it's going to be difficult for companies it's probably the majority in between that like a little bit of this and 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 level of relationship and i think we're going to kind of see

faces is many companies are going to get xtracycle infrastructure ok you got the zune calls or the sky 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 i think so there's a lot of complications i will be coming for these next years for us. well the pandemic is also affecting the surrogate birthing industry ukraine like many countries around the world has closed its borders to foreigners preventing new parents from taking their children home. as more. i know these new parents were supposed to be at home internet or siri. there's change in a facility run by a reproduction clinic in ukraine they were born to circuit mothers for foreigners but at the country's close borders the parents can travel to them and nurses are

now looking after them. in the corner with my wife. or to see the very. first. puppy. is very difficult. the issue was raised when the owner of this reproduction center in kiev released a video showing dozens of babies waiting for their parents it's estimated that across ukraine nearly $100.00 infants are in the same situation it borders remain closed and locked down measures are extended many fear the number could quickly rise if you want to. know what these children here are facing a big problem i can't go to their parents who are in china france spain italy the us and bulgaria they're all in the same situation because the borders are closed. ukraine is one of the few countries that legally allow surrogacy for foreigners

with a weak economy many women turn to the controversial industry where they can earn about $15000.00 for each pregnancy the foreign ministry is now trying to find a way to allow parents to travel to ukraine to pick up their in finish we're going to get through this we have some parents who are 50 to 55 years of age they've been waiting for this child for 20 years and they were given this opportunity for the parents of these newborns a journey years in the making will have to wait a bit longer. and so they're young al-jazeera at least $23.00 migrant workers have been killed in northern india when their truck collided with another vehicle it happened. it is the latest incident involving laborous as they try to return home during the lockdown there are reports that companies based in the united arab emirates of sent mercenaries to libya to support the warlord holy for have to end his campaign against the u.n.
