number of buildings the rain could be seen lying in one area where there is a large field that needed cranes to remove them they were debris and so it became a very difficult job also made more difficult by the fact that most of the bodies have been burned beyond recognition and therefore written a d.n.a. testing to day in day identity so it's going to be a long drawn operation and something that i've got has come pounded by the environment which are there to kill a populated area and that of course is presenting its own challenges come all that effects and a down to 0 kamau high to the live in islamabad. this growing international condemnation of china's plans to introduce sweeping new security laws in hong kong u.s. secretary of state mike pompei is said that it would sound the death knell to hong

kong's autonomy of legislation would ban activity that beijing considers to be subversive it follows months of pro-democracy protests in hong kong on kong's chief executive kerry lam says that her government will cooperate with beijing's proposal and that it won't affect the rights and freedoms of residents the important thing is for the people hong kong to realize that without protection of national security many of the things that we enjoy many of the things the precious. will be lost so this is really the time for us not to waste any more time and to get on with this imports and legislative safe thoughts out 0 as adrian brown is in hong kong and says details of the new security laura still unclear. the problem is that here in hong kong people still don't know very much about this security law the
7:09 am
details are few and far between for instance it's been confirmed that you know security agencies will now be free to operate in hong kong from the mainland but what will be their remit and what security agency will it be will it be the ministry of state security for instance which human rights groups say has a reputation for you know arbitrary detentions and torture so there's a lot of unknown things at the moment that the people here in hong kong want to now carry was putting on a display of unity on friday night standing with her cabinet members and other advisors to stress that actually hong kong remains very open for business and that its autonomy is being protected and in fact this new security law she stresses is going to be a further protection for foreign investors here in hong kong but of course on friday as we saw adrian the stock market didn't like the news very much it fell more than 5 percent that is the largest 4 we've seen on the hang seng stock market
7:10 am
in 5 years other sort of anecdotal you know reaction i can bring you is there's been a surge in internet interest in v.p. ends then known as virtual proxy networks and basically this is a device very popular among foreigners in the mainland china has reported no new coronavirus cases for the 1st time since the pandemic began but health authorities have warned that there are still some suspected cases let's go live now to zeerust katrina you who's in beijing so quite a milestone for china in its fight against the virus katrina the 1st in how many months is this. the 1st in 5 months the 1st recorded cases of the current virus in china were recorded mid to late january so it is quite a milestone no cases whatsoever last month there was another milestone of no local
7:11 am
transmissions but we still saw a new cases in the form of imported cases symptomatic cases and now again there was a local transmissions of these numbers have kind of stayed around the single digit mark but today for the 1st time no recorded cases what sort of a surge is quite a milestone for the government and they'll be very happy to hear about that now they have moved very quickly when they have located new clusters recently that is still an issue and it's by no means means that this is the end to the fight against a virus here in china there with 6 new cases recorded in one hand the epicenter of the virus a few weeks ago and that's the authorities did want to test the entire population of that city so millions of people have in the last few weeks undergone nucleic acid tests to test for their current virus and there's also another cluster of concern in the northeast in julian province in a city that has gone into very strict lockdown in the last few weeks they've got just over 100 new cases that but from today no new cases but we do have as you
7:12 am
mentioned earlier 2 suspected cases there are questions though about the reliability of these figures wires that. that's right well we have to remember in china we are only have one source of the of numbers when it comes to the current virus needs of the official government figures and a lot of eyebrows have been raised over the past few months because authorities have continued to change the way they count these cases for example at one stage they were not counting asymptomatic cases or they were counting cases who only confirmed through the nucleic acid test of the kind of flip flopped on the methodology a bit so there are some questions about the accuracy of those figures and of course as also questions about transparency here in china it's very important for the government to maintain an image of control and we just heard from premier league a chunk at china's national people's congress he spoke yesterday giving
7:13 am
a government work report one of the main themes of his speech was the chinese communist party his victory over the coronavirus and we have to remember this is a thorough authoritarian government system and these leaders at the local level local level are under immense pressure to keep those numbers down and certainly now that we've had a really good streak you don't want to be the only official who comes up with a with a cluster or a case so that has raised eyebrows and questions as to whether we can believe what we're seeing but according to the government according to those official figures it is 0 new cases today al-jazeera is katrina your reporting live there from beijing true many things. whether a very vexed here on al-jazeera been. so the marriage has become a new at the center for the disease 1st china then europe now latin america the world health organization the klez another new phase in the coronavirus pandemic. and we'll have the latest on the fighting around libya's capital where the
7:14 am
government says it's making progress. we got the temperatures cooling off nicely now across the eastern side of the mediterranean a little more class starting to just push its way through with some showers here so we'll see some west weather just coming into well lebanon pushing a little further south which may be making its way into the far northwest of syria exceed the temperatures well to have on recent valleys $23.00 celsius a by rate of $28.00 in damascus and 24 there fortress limb and maybe even a touch colder as you go on through sunday as the showers start to pep up quite a brisk wind blustery showers here a brisk wind feeding its way down across the red sea into that western side of. much of the arabian peninsula is dry it's hot looking at temperatures not too far

whole just 0 there is no channel that covers world news like we do we revisit places game on jersey or really invest in them and that's a privilege as a journalist. well again this is the 2nd moment to remind you of the main news this hour a tape released by brazil's supreme court appears to show president triable sonata threatening to fire senior police officers it was released as part of an investigation into allegations the boss another was meddling in a criminal investigation into his son. the search has received for bodies after a plane crashed in pakistan at least 97 people were killed the plane went down in

a crowded neighborhood in the city of karachi on friday. has been international condemnation of china's plans to introduce a new security door on called the post legislation would ban activity beijing considers subversive. car rental giant hertz as fired for filed for bankruptcy in protection of the u.s. as the pandemic is all but wiped out demand for its services it's was struggling before covert 19 led to large scale grounding of the world's headline headlines the company's international operations in europe australia and new zealand aren't included in the u.s. bankruptcy proceedings ryan patel is the global business executive for the drucker school of management at claremont graduate university he joins us now live via skype from los angeles could have you with us ryan as we said the company was in debt before this you surprised by this this filing for bankruptcy protection. well
7:18 am
not really but if you think about the history of herds they've been around 1918 and so it's one of those legacy companies big names to actually go down this route and it's pretty big news because they did have $18000000000.00 in debt and if you think about the $1814000000000.00 of it was tied to cards in the last year they lost close to $56000000.00 and part of what they were trying to do was sell all of its inventory because of all that high debt so they i think they sold around 40000 cars in march but as you know because a coven 19 there's no auction houses there's no people buying used cars anymore and so they now are sitting on all this debt without getting itself out and that's kind of part of the reason why you saw why they were going up by a bankruptcy so is this the end of the road or will find for bankruptcy protection allow it to continue. it's going to allow it to continue the question becomes for how long one of the main things that hurts is stating to everybody that the reason
7:19 am
they filed is that they have no i mean i don't see a clue but all this uncertainty they don't know when revenues are going to come back and so part of that is you know we've seen other companies come out of bankruptcy like g.m. where you know they're going to become profitable but you know they are hoping that there is going to be an on switch that everyone kind of starts coming back goes to the airport starts traveling but without doubt in the near future this is probably the path that they're going to go to protect itself we're living in an unprecedented times right now that other companies like it's high street names if you like so many and so all of us around the world who are going to be headed the same way. well we've been talking about retailers specifically some of the legacy one expects lee in the u.s. and even airlines i think it's very interesting to see what airlines actually make it because it's really key for governments right now and they have been kind of subsidizing a lot of the airlines the travel industry for the in the short term but in the long
7:20 am
term that's not going to be something that the companies are going to have to do they're going to be very nimble they're going to have to look for other revenue streams to be able to survive and i think part of it in like you said hertz is a big name this should be not sending shock waves but this should put all companies and leaders of notice to say that you know you better be finding other revenue streams other strategic partnerships that you can be to keep you afloat while things kind of quote come back to normal run rate it gives to you many thanks indeed ron patel there in la censorious the long time in peru has been extended until the end of june off in new corona virus infections it began admitted munch and is one of the longest in the world on friday peru reported almost $3000.00 new cases and that decision comes as the world health organization says that last america has become the new epicenter of the pandemic number of new cases and the consequences now suppose the u.s.
7:21 am
and europe join homan reports. in latin america's biggest graveyard the bodies are being put into the earth quickly without ceremony and so marchant you think the call is 5 by 5 to make 5 funerals in a row we can't have a week we can't do anything alina can say goodbye to her father if she'd like while he was alive she's being denied that he had to ask you keep me face i'll type idea but i say what i miss is not being able to kiss him because i work in the health sector i was afraid of catching something in passing it on to him so i didn't kiss him anymore we didn't touch each other we kept our distance. this is brazil where the virus has killed more than 20000 is the worst hit country in latin america the region fast becoming the center of the pandemic and the government should be taking care of things is in turmoil president joy abel sonata was lost to health ministers in a matter of weeks and he's also involved in
7:22 am
a separate political scandal in town with his family there's a lot of instability we get so much information from people who should be taking care of the situation and who are being a place and i'm very worried the president's repeatedly told people to go out to the not ill or old putting him at loggerheads with local authorities who are seeing the health systems overrun across the whole region things are getting worse south america has become a new epicenter for the disease we've seen many south american countries with their . increasing numbers of cases in peru infections of almost doubled over the last couple of weeks mexico should have reached them past its peak but numbers keep climbing chile's health system is buckling and in argentina the cases have spiked to a mall in other parts of the world the streets are beginning to fill up again here it's the cemetery's john home and how does it. u.s. president tunnel trumpets threaten to override state governments who don't reopen
7:23 am
places of worship trump declared the churches synagogues and mosques were essential and said they should be open to soon as possible some governors have deemed a liquor stores an abortion clinics is essential but have left out churches and other houses of worship it's not right so i'm correcting this injustice in calling houses of worship essential. i call upon governors to allow our churches in places of worship to open right now if they don't do it i will override the governor's. in america we need more prayer not less. a white house correspondent kimberly holcomb reports especially what the u.s. president has done is set up a battle once again between his white house and the 50 governors across the united states many who are still in forcing very strict stay at home orders particularly
7:24 am
when it pertains to houses of worship so this would be churches mosques synagogues essentially the concern being that when you have large groups get gathering and congregating that this could allow for an asymptomatic person to spread unknowingly to other members of the congregation but at the same time many churches particularly in california where more than 1200 are threatening to open up this weekend the u.s. president has just made an announcement new c.d.c. guidelines that the centers for disease control that essentially gives them the ammunition to defy their local orders to stay at home the u.s. president saying that he's calling on governors to open these houses of worship right away and most interestingly he said if they don't he will override the governor is now very quickly the u.s. president doesn't have the power to do that under the u.s. constitution there are very strong states' rights but what he seems to be implying is that his department of justice may challenge this under the 1st amendment or the
7:25 am
right to freedom of religion peaceful assembly but that would take a long time to dry out what's really clear in all of this is in an election year but we know that so many who attend church regularly have voted for the u.s. president he's trying to deliver for his constituency he hopes will help him win reelection in november. former u.s. vice president joe biden has apologized after telling a black radio host that african-americans who back president donald trump quote a black he later said he shouldn't have been so cavalier biden is the presumptive democratic nominee in the event this u.s. presidential election. libya's internationally recognized government says that it's retaking control of key areas south of the capital at least 21 fights as they have been killed by land mines left behind by war khalifa haftar us forces and mercenaries the u.n. secretary general has repeatedly condemned the transfer use of land mines because
