testing has been increased including of which was the 1st epicenter wearing masks in crowded places like supermarkets and shopping centers does remain mandatory katrina you has the details from beijing. amal's or in today no new cases that means no imported cases no asymptomatic cases according to official figures but china is not out of the woods yet we do know that there are at least 2 active clusters of the corinna virus 5 or 6 cases were identified some weeks ago in ruhani at the center of the outbreak and that's a citywide testing schemes are millions have been tested in the last few weeks and perhaps more worrying for authorities is a cluster in jilin province which is in china's north east and there have been more than 100 cases identified there recently and actually 2 small cities have been put into lockdown. lockdown with some residential compound sealed off and travel restricted in and out of those cities are definitely while it is
5:19 pm

5:21 pm
china's security agents will operate in hong kong when needed words that have unsettled many people here they all feel that the one country 2 systems is dead and now the reaction is general panic people would like you and me grey and making preparations for the phone count some people we spoke to said the law was long overdue others resigned to it and i think. it would have happened anyway like if the fear i think i've gotten past this stage about being afraid all got it all makes sense a country needs laws to protect itself people only abuse freedom if there is too much. business groups here fear the proposed law will threaten hong kong status as asia's leading financial center and put further pressure on its independent judicial system it is almost 2 years since protests began over another proposed law
5:22 pm
that would have allowed wanted people to be sent to the mainland that bill was eventually dropped but the prospect of more on rest this time is unlikely to deter china's government from pressing ahead with this security law adrian brown al jazeera hong kong. the british government is defending lead prime minister's chief advisors saying a trip he took during lockdown did not break the guidelines dominic cummings drove more than 400 kilometers from london to his parents' home in northern england when he was supposed to be self isolating after having shown symptoms of corona virus in a statement the government's at the triple syringe childcare opposition m.p.'s are calling on boris johnson the prime minister to act or for mr cummings to resign as others have done for breaking locke rules not in barbour has more from london. that durham's police and crime commissioner has called the journey most on why he's given the whole ethos of the government's guidance will the guidance was on the

18th of march boris johnson at the daily briefing said that people had to follow the rules and he said whole households should stay at home for 14 days if a member of the household thinks they have covered $900.00 symptoms children should not be left with older grandparents or older relatives who may be particularly vulnerable or fall into some of the most vulnerable groups that's the crux of the matter ministers are now busy defending dominic cummings saying that he did what he had to to seek child care for his children but people are saying that doesn't mean that he was supposed to or indeed allowed to go and leave them with his elderly parents also on top of this we've heard senior figures resigned over proceed breaches of the the restrictions including a senior scientific advisor to the government that was welcomed by matt hancock the health secretary who is now saying that dominic cummings was entirely right to do
5:24 pm
what he did the opposition is now calling for mr cummings to go he in the last few hours has said that it doesn't matter how it looks that it's about doing the right thing and he certainly has no intention of going he's being backed up by boris johnson the prime minister of england is slowly easing out of lock turn but for some it's not coming fast enough businesses dependent on the tourist trade are at risk if visitors stay away during the normally busy summer the challenge facing the government is protecting public health as well as companies from bankruptcy lawrence lee has more from cumbria. this is what the british government wants to see mass testing barrow in furness on the northwestern coast has proved a model and surprisingly it's demonstrated a higher infection rate than other places which aren't testing yet it's also lets a barrow somehow being accused of poor hygiene standards not only do they think that's deeply unfair they also worry that the government doesn't really understand
5:25 pm
what's happening so there's a worry so that's why we want this considered russian approach to moving forward in which we have also but also that we do. we don't penalize businesses in the following to make matters worse the high infection rate in the north west has come a time when it's famous beauty spots should be full of families bus the message from the authorities so far has been to stay away in towns like kendall the effects of that has been this unemployment has risen by over 300 percent this part of england is now in the unique position as having had the highest code infection rates in the country but also now the highest rise in the unemployment rate the local health authority is seen as having done a very good job in the hospitals here are not overwhelmed but businesses are starting to really suffer and that's leading many people to start asking what's actually worse the disease or the cure every single person we spoke to said that
5:26 pm
they wanted restrictions eased as a matter of urgency and it seems to me they were run by people who do not understand statistics and they marshal family frightened enough people i mean you know members of my family still genuinely think we should cower indoors and i thank you we need to start living again there's a lot of businesses here. you know bits that might not be able to carry around sad to see here actually my appear on the high street at the end of all this you know he might reopen and he won't the sign saying stay away or go home have disappeared . though it's still impossible to book a hotel room the totally opposing demands to protect public health while keeping the economy from collapsing have led to the tourism authorities and politicians trying to suggest that people should start to come but slowly we know that all part of tourism hospitality won't get back to normal until the autumn probably not until next year and that's a reminder that given that this is
5:27 pm
a seasonal business there if we let people stand on their own 2 feet in the autumn then all you have done is perspire business collapse and unemployment from march to this autumn the great fear the worst case scenario is the closure of all this until the end of summer there would then be no way back for thousands of businesses which wouldn't survive the winter the view from here is that protecting livelihoods is becoming every bit as urgent as protecting lives barnsley al-jazeera in north west of england. brazil's supreme court has released a video apparently showing president jaya polson r.-o. threatening to fire and senior police officer their bosses and a minister to protect his family the footage was released amid claims that wilson r.-o. has meddled in a criminal investigation into his son in america edison you see in human the. this videotape is what those accusing president jade bosso not all of interference
