of genocide but the film a businessman managed to avoid arrest using his powerful international connections to evade capture to go always had very close relations with iran's government in france he's very well connected in elite circles are in paris and i think use arrested i will also raise questions about how much science he has received from the french government in recent. kuga had been living under a false identity in this apartment in as you have sent me the center of paris he had previously lived in germany belgium the democratic republic of congo as well as kenya and switzerland what are some people this morning we were surprised because when we went downstairs like all the neighbors we were trying to get out and then we saw a whole army of police preparing this operation because. his son in law had been arrested in germany in 2007 for war crimes committed during the 1994 genocide the

citizens health their non-negotiable values but we have to approach them differently in this face we are facing this risk and we have to accept it otherwise we'll have to wait until a vaccine is discovered and we can't afford to which it will travel is also now allowed across england but rules for the rest of the u.k. have not been eased in france and greece people can now go to the beach but there are rules on the number of people allowed and how close they can be sport is back in germany with the return of the bundesliga football league 6 games were played on saturday but fans were not allowed inside stadiums in italy the daily death toll has now fallen to its lowest in over 2 months but the tourism sector has taken a big hit this is usually peak season and as branka gupta explains hotel owners can't wait to get back to business. 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 terrace and 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 it 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 you 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 . a low 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've worked 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 industry that contributes 13 percent to its knees 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 they will lose about $18000000000.00 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 tourists the chance to reach italy we will limit those damages with many countries restricting travel tourists numbers are predicted to fall by between 60 to 80 percent this year globally. but maybe hope that with enough vigilance business can get again and the lights can finally

be turned back on. well the pandemic has been a major test for world leaders the top 4 worst hit nations all have something in common populous leaders who initially dismissed the threat of the virus where the death toll in the us is approaching 90000 by far the world's highest despite repeated warnings from january president trump insisted the virus would not take hold there in march he declared a national emergency but has refused to take any responsibility for failings in the response the british prime minister boris johnson also played down the virus even shaking hands with patients on a code with 9000 hospital ward he later became seriously ill himself the u.k. acted relatively late in imposing a lockdown it now has the highest death toll in europe brazil is latin america's worst hit country president jaya both a narrow said the virus was nothing but

a fantasy like trump both and are encouraged until lock down protests and attacks governors who imposed restrictions fatema putin was quick to close russia's border with china but domestic lockdown procedures well they came late russia now has almost 275000 infections it's the 2nd highest in the world well let's bring in steve clemons he's the editor at large of the hill and the host of the al jazeera english the bottom line he joins us via skype from washington d.c. steve great to have you on the program it is ironic isn't it that the top 4 countries with the highest number of infections and deaths are all led by populist politicians who basically dismissed the disease as perhaps a weak form of flu and now they're countries facing the worst of this global pandemic. that's absolutely right daryn and i think it is a very important lesson for the world to see and watch right now and the citizens of these countries particularly if we face a 2nd wave of this virus in the future all of these leaders in

a sense ran against the establishment in their countries they ran against science they ran against universities they ran against the ministries and bureaucracies they were out there set up over generations to protect the public and so it's not surprising that they rejected to some degree the scientists but once they saw people dying and you saw what was happening and unfolding in italy and i'm very happy to hear that it's reopening but it is it is remarkable how they were unwilling to move more quickly to save their their own populations and steams some of those natives like donald trump and jaya balls and they face accusations of putting economic x. media and c. of a people's lives on with trump in particular many people say look he doesn't when he can't how many people die he only cares about his base and being right ring elected in november. well i think there's a tug of war going on in states all around the united states and governors really

charge we got the disturbing news today that there was actually in a pretensions the actionable threat against the governor of michigan and people have been arrested in this case threatening her life and these are people that donald trump has been egging on so it is not just economic expediency it is political expediency because it is the have nots it's the frustrated people who have who in themselves if you will donald trump's popularity and his victory to the white house they are the ones that are challenging the stay at home orders and he's been egging them on and it's leading to conflict and could have it could have been very serious conflict with the governor of michigan today and steve you make a very important point about the signs because these leaders also fail to follow the advice of their own scientists on things like social distancing and staying safe we never see trump putin and bolts a model wearing masks and boris johnson was seen shaking hands and subsequently

fell seriously ill of on the disease why do things pop and its leaders despise the science and some like trying to attack international bodies like the world health organization. well i mean we and we've seen just to make your point karen olson narrow has fired his last 2 health ministers so donald trump his critique anthony found who is world famous as one of the great carolla just who has helped not backatcha the aides and others i think that the reason they did this is that they thrive on the notion that they and their supporters are victims and they've been victims from the educated in society from science that has left them behind in their view and it challenges their my cheese mo their their their boss nature and that they would have to listen to someone else and this is created a real problem so i think that's part of that your world health organisation is a bit different because it least in the united states part of the nationalism that

donald trump has tried to this 5 nations now says i'm trying to assert is very disdainful of other countries of international deals of international institutions and they see the rest of the world as ripping off the united states as freewriting on the united states and there's a resentment and anger about anything attached to the united nations so his critique of the w.h.o. is part of this but nation's nationalism and he does not understand the w.h.o. plays a vital and critical role in setting up health models and health standards creating an antenna or other and future pandemics and helping particularly we have to remember that if we don't help lesser developed countries get through this and we see what it's happened to developed countries this will come back with a vengeance everywhere steve let me get a final quick thought from you because in the early days of the pandemic these leaders would have been watching the tragedies unfolding in places like it's only in spain yet as you say they failed to take any meaningful action in their own countries do you think they were too busy buying into their own cult of personality

politics. i think the nurses says i'm a populist leaders is hard to overstate and that their district. art both for what was happening abroad and their notion that they're both lucky but somewhat impervious to something like this feeds this this sense of triumphalism that they have and i think it took a lot we've seen a lot of cases not at that national level but at the subnational level of governors in states that behaved in much the same way and they too have faced dramatically higher incidence of coby deaths and covert infections i think it's part of the nature of that kind of leadership steve clemons great to get your thoughts on the program thank you very much for talking to logic there i thank you. i mean all former u.s. president barack obama has made a veiled swipe at his success as handling of the pandemic saying it has torn back the curtain on american leadership speaking at a virtual ceremony for thousands of graduates he said they have to seize the

initiative while the nation's leader has a fumbled more than anything this pandemic is fully finally torn back the curtain on the idea that so many of the folks in charge know what they're doing a lot of them aren't even pretending to be in charge of the world's going to get better it's going to be up to you. now for the $3700000.00 students graduating high school in the united states the pandemic has robbed them of memories and milestones that also change the future for many would once planned on continuing their education at colleges and universities is an officious. it's not hope it was supposed to be chewed have been a pothole with lots of friends and a celebration of 4 years of high school instead it's graduation marked with a socially distant stance with a family in a drive with. able to reunite i see with my friends that it's going to be better suite nowhere and we're going to get out maybe. me is graduation season in

america's high schools big celebrations ceremonies and excitement the moment to move on to something new university or a career for the class of 2022 is moments and memories have been stolen away. nobody wants to go to school it sucks it's boring but the end of your senior year you get to do all of these incredible things you've been working towards and you get that. and now i don't get that. clear rodgers moved to the u.s. 2 years ago from the u.k. where they do things differently graduation ceremonies are not common but i've grown up watching that sort of thing movies now it's like wow i actually get to experience. that that was quite upsetting jacqueline and i'd always ready to leave high school she's been accepted to university to pursue a career in nursing and watching how her world has changed in just a matter of weeks watching hope people have relied on health professionals makes it even more determined that sweet her future lies i wish i could be helping everyone

right now and it's kind of sad that i can't but that's what's also motivating me to still be a nurse is in case this comes back not everyone leaving high school has the same sefton too and it is a real not corn effect colleges and universities across america say they're expecting to lose 20 percent of the students who have already enrolled many simply won't be able to afford it anymore and it's not just a one year thing one in 10 say they're already making other plans what would you want them to help students in the last year of high school plan for the future a future no least with uncertainty my biggest fear is that kids that were on the edge in math i would have been able to do more for. are still going to not make a decision on what their person or plans are and leave high school and. not knowing what to do $170.00 schools are doing what they can to celebrate graduation virtual

ceremonies pushing events back several weeks it won't be the same but then neither is the world the students are about to enter alan fischer al-jazeera arlington virginia. also to come here and al-jazeera including. our own. secret u.n. report reveals alleged links between west a mysterious fighting in libya and the united arab emirates. long queues protests and will happen once again as the chinese city with the coronavirus 1st reports another customer in the state. hello there mostly fun intracoastal than areas of asia plenty of cat is in the satellite but we have got some showers with that of a nice thought not a bad taste at least on the across much of japan just want to stray showers most of

the rain through sunday is staying well to the east but it's more heavy rain pushing into the korean peninsula and then you see all of this training down across into southern china and some very heavy rain sunday into southern and eastern areas of taiwan that is the remnants of what was tropical storm of on follow that will clear out of the way through monday but look at this some very heavy rain then pushing its way into western japan and again pushing down into all southern areas of the korean peninsula and all the while more rain and thunderstorms into southern areas all the china to say the remnants now of tropical storm of on phone you can still see on the satellite plenty of activity across through zone it still is on its way to clear there so we'll see more showers but you can see that really has been some widespread flooding across much of luzon all the different provinces have seen destruction as you can see and just look at that the actual floodwater coas carries a long distance and that is to say it came onshore into samoa and this is the damage that has been done so a lot of clips take place over the next few days that the weather conditions will improve so if you shine as as we go through sunday and by monday why do scottish

shows generally across much of the region. as we embrace new technologies rarely do we stop to ask what is the price of this progress what happened was people started getting sick but there was a small group of people that began to think that maybe this was related to the kind of this wash or in the job and investigation reveals how even the smallest devices have deadly environmental and health costs we think ok we'll send our you waste to china but we have to remember that air pollution travels around the globe jeff i design on al-jazeera. who would. want it.

welcome back a quick amount of the top stories here on al jazeera the man accused of funding the militias who killed hundreds of thousands of people during the rwandan genocide genocide has been captured. was found hiding in paris under a false name after avoiding capture 25 years. the italian prime minister josep a contest says the country is taking a calculated risk by gradually lifting the lockdown he says protecting lives is paramount but isn't he can't afford to wait until a vaccine is developed. and in germany the borders league of football tournament has resumed on saturday 6 games were played but spectators were excluded. now 2 companies based in the united arab emirates reportedly sent mercenaries to libya to support the warlord after all in his campaign against the un recognized government bloomberg news agency says a confidential un report details how a team of western mercenaries were dispatched from dubai last year to help half

dollars bid to capture the capital tripoli the u.a.e. has previously been accused of supplying weapons to have to in violation of a u.n. arms embargo so here's a reminder of how libya is divided between rival sides and who supports them the government of national accord is based in tripoli in the west and is led by the prime minister fires out so raj his administration is recognized by the un with military support from turkey and diplomatic backing from qatar italy and other western nations and even have to face is the government into brooke that's in the east of the country he's supported by saudi arabia the u.a.e. russia and egypt france has been accused of providing information and logistical support of paris denies it well william lawrence is a former u.s. diplomat to libya he says the timing of the mercenaries being sent by the u.a.e. coincides with the beginning of have towns offensive on tripoli. we've got western mercenaries going it's students 50 british french americans and others i think what

was surprising is that they went in after the assault on tripoli in april this was in june and in a very cool 'd way and course we had all south africans which we had heard of being in the cockpit before along with french british and american mercenaries the timing was. very interesting because it was support of this all to tripoli when all of these nations were saying that they weren't and we had a groups of french special forces actually leave tripoli so western libya right around starting some escaping in the cover of night tunisia saying that they were going to be involved in the in the attack on tripoli i think turkey after 2014 withdrew a lot of its support this is been ramped up again in late 210-2020 in response to to the attack on tripoli by half to our to supporters so this is i think it's wrong will in a lot of the war let's say more influenced analysis we hear that turkey turkey

turkey if lindsay things that actually is quite the opposite turkey's involved in the defense of tripoli and then issues or to have to are involved in an assault on the un recognized government meanwhile shelling by forces loyal to have to has killed at least 7 people and injured 17 others south of tripoli we're talking to university dormitory newsvine town the displaced people in the district and allan's was also hit by shrapnel all medics were trying to treat the injured meanwhile government forces say they have surrounded the base in the southwest. health officials in yemen have confirmed 13 new cases of corona virus in 3 deaths well that raises the number of known infections in government health care is 222 who the rebels have also reported to new cases in territory they control 5 years of conflict of left yemen's health system in tatters and aid workers say infections are spreading undetected. now a massive testing program is underway in the chinese city or wu han where the

corona virus outbreak was 1st reported the 1st cluster of new infections since the lockdown was eased has been confirmed but as crowds formed at tests and some people were concerned that going for tests could expose them to the virus later harding has more. the people in this province have been battling the novel coronavirus longer than anyone else the virus started here in december last year and grew to epic proportions killing more than 4000 people in china alone after months of lockdown and one province the number of cases began to drop then this week there was a cluster of new infections a new testing campaign is underway to stop the spread the residents fear going to crowded testing centers could put them in danger. i think some measures should have been taken for example people should be separated when there are many of them is not very good to have too many people gathered in one place some paper wary moscow

not safety has become a hot topic especially on social media among the 11000000 residents of this latest campaign is voluntary i think it's fine everyone to keep it a distance off one and a half meters from the. old office says the epidemic people have had a great sense of responsibility to keep my distance from each other to reduce risks there are now nearly 5000000 cases of covert 1000 around the world more than 300000 have died what started in china may be returning for a 2nd wave leah harding al-jazeera. kenya has stepped up border restrictions to slow the spread of coronavirus banning general travel in and out of tanzania and somalia truck drivers are exempt from the restrictions but have to be tested for the virus before they can cross the border kenya also extended a movement ban between nairobi and mombasa until june 6th the country's under a nationwide dawn. well the global pandemic is also affecting some of the services

ukraine like many countries around the world has closed its borders to foreigners preventing new parents from taking their children home dozens of babies have been left stranded in ukraine by the virus lockdown. reports. i know these newborns were supposed to be at home intern or sciri. they're stranded in a facility run by a reproduction clinic in ukraine they were born to surrogate mothers for foreigners but with the countries close borders the parents can travel to them and nurses are now looking after them. on the muzzle was them in the rental car cannot be replaced with thing else no matter how professionally a person looks after babies the psychological and emotional connection must be established within the 1st days of a baby's life we try to send parents photographs of the children and organize conference schools but this cannot substitute direct contact with the issue was

raised when the owner of this reproduction centering released a video showing dozens of babies waiting for their parents it's estimated that across ukraine nearly 100 infants are in the same situation it borders remain closed and locked down measures are extended many fear the number could quickly rise. children here facing a big problem they 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 service e 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 lao parents to travel to ukraine to pick up their in finish we're going to get to them for a bit but with 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. now many of us have become used to working from home during the pandemic and some businesses are considering whether these changes will be long term the c.e.o. of twitter jack dorsey announced last week that his employees can carry on working from home indefinitely facebook and google say their staff can continue until next year other companies are doing a cost benefit analysis as restrictions are eased research shows the advantages include greater productivity improved work life balance and better mental health but some employees feel isolated or distracted posing a challenge for employers where casey was a c.e.o. but soon dot ai that's a web based platform that analyzes employee motivation he says managing people's needs only tricky 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 their families which have good things of course over and over and over it they're not going to be able to do it so i think it's there's a certain segment that wants to be in the office all the time and a certain segment to have really like the remote work and would prefer this to be it but 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 there's groups in person in 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 x. rays go infrastructure ok you got to zoom calls or this guy calls are 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. trying to protect the headlines here on al-jazeera the man accused of funding the militias who killed hundreds of thousands of people during the rwandan genocide has been captured and they see a couple who was found hiding in paris under a false name after avoiding capture and only 25 years italian prime minister just a contest says the country. is taking a calculated risk by gradual lifting the lockdown he says protecting lives panned out but it's may count afford to wait until a vaccine is developed. what about the mostly bling she became in the early states

now values remind the sighing and the 1st of those is the protection of life in of citizens health their non-negotiable values but we have to approach them differently in this phase 2 we are facing this risk and we have to accept it otherwise we'll have to wait until a vaccine is discovered and we can't afford to. and in germany the bundesliga football league has resumed on saturday 6 games are being played but spectators have not been allowed into stadiums health officials in yemen have confirmed 13 new cases of corona virus and 3 deaths that raises the number of infections in government held areas 222 to 3 rebels levels are reported to new cases in territory they control 5 years of conflict have left yemen's health system in tatters and aid workers say infections are spreading undetected. for u.s. president barack obama has made a veiled swipe at is excessive his handling of the pandemic saying it has turned
