for more than $2000000.00 of its poorest people and taiwan's president visits a dissident bookseller from hong kong even as a senior chinese general warns of military action against the island. and his 4 u.k. police want some premier league games to be played at a neutral venue when the season restarts police cloying it's part of an effort to stop firms gathering outside stadiums during matches. paul donald trump is being accused of glorifying violence and inflaming racially charged protests across the united states the president said that when the looting starts the shooting starts he's referring to the city of minneapolis where days of demonstrations have followed the death of an unarmed black man you're watching live pictures from the streets of minneapolis now seeing the the increased security presence there the national guard has also been called in and the man has declared

a 72 hour emergency. begins our coverage. this was the police said a very different night of protest a police station in minneapolis set on fire as anger directed at those who swear to protect and serve escalated the. not far away more burning shops looting and violence protests have spread across the united states in denver demonstrators echoed the demands for justice already heard in los angeles and new york anger over the treatment of african-americans by the police is new but it is very wrong right now. in louisville kentucky the death of george who it has reopened old wounds with protesters demanding justice for an african-american woman who was shot dead by police 2 months ago. it is this video of the last moments of george floyd's life a police officer kneeling on his neck that's driving the outrage floyd's family the

city's mayor and national politicians are calling for the officer to be charged with murder we did see a murder on t.v. and it wasn't self-defense the f.b.i. is promising a thorough investigation but it could take weeks for a prosecutor to decide on criminal charges and people here are impatient francis i am pleading i am pleading with individuals. to remain calm and to let us conduct this investigation president trump called the protesters thugs and suggested national guard soldiers shoot the looters he also took aim at the city's democratic man donald trump knows nothing about the strength of minneapolis we are strong as hell is this a difficult time period yes but you better be damn sure that we're going to get through this. the protests in george floyd's name are only growing as more people

in more cities feel justice in america is far from equal victoria gate and be al jazeera. well more now on donald trump's controversial tweet let's go live now to our white house correspondent candy health that can be i see that the white house twitter account has been rather active this morning reid tweeting and rewriting some of president trump's tweets could this be a potential workaround for president. i'm not sure what you mean by work around but let's just get to the heart of this matter and that is essentially that what is really upsetting many americans is the tweet that you read at the top of the show any difficulty if we will assume control but when the looting starts the shooting stars know essentially what the issue is surrounding this tweet is that and the reason that twitter has said that it is restricted this is because of its historical context in other words that it could

going back to the late 1960 s. inspire similar actions. typically police crackdowns on people who are protesting what they see as being particularly incendiary crackdowns on african-americans in fact it's really important for the historical context to know that when the looting starts the shooting starts is something that was uttered by the miami police chief back in 1967 essentially he was referring to what he called the crackdown on hoodlum slums or slum hoodlum is rather essentially that he was accusing people of taking advantage of the civil rights campaign and that ultimately those incendiary comments by that miami police chief in turn a inspired what he says were dition all sort of tensions in the miami race riot so in the midst of all of this what the concern is on twitter side is that this u.s.

president is essentially doing that again and what the argument is from the conservative supporters who stand by the u.s. president is that this is a less an election year and twitter has essentially taken sides that this is a political effort to embarrass the president kennedy how could that white house correspondent thank you very much for that update kimberly well now joining us via foreign is allison herrera she's a local journalist in minneapolis and on the streets there now i want to know how a people in minneapolis reacting to what president trump's been tweeting and saying . you know i haven't called i social media feeds on the people that i've been talking to i even heard any reaction about donald trump tweets but what i have what i have heard reaction to is the violence and the protests that have happened i live in south minneapolis i live in the longfellow neighborhood i'm about 2 miles away from the police precinct that was burned last night i'm standing in front of 9

a row of commercial shops including nonprofit that was benefit to indigenous youth here in the twin cities along with some smaller restaurants and a building that is on fire the group collaborative. this neighborhood this building was just it's a year old it's just refurbished in fact our lieutenant governor peggy flannagan was there at the opening of the building last year last summer a matter of fact so. # you know people are necessarily talking about the tweets but people are reacting to the violence and some of the protests that are happening and some of the looting so i would say that emotions are very well right now here out on the street sure alison 3 nights of protests now in an enormous amount of violence particularly last night as you say. can you give us a sense of the feeling on the streets and when we're already seeing live pictures

of the police out very much in force the state of emergency national guard deployed we line case of potentially see more unrest. i am not sure i know that there has been a call from the community for the governor and the city to really set up kind of a unified command center that we don't have more violence and i know and seeing and 'd you're right there is a heavy police presence that there's actually i'm looking at the minnesota state patrol right now i'm looking at. 8 i actually i don't see any national guard i see minnesota state patrol out right now i'm standing in front of the fire the fire truck i'm told that the patrol officers have been out here on the street since 5 am . that. actually right now you know they've just put out the fire but i could last night i could smell the burning 5 my

house which is like i said 2 miles away this is also a residential neighborhood to people there's actually an apartment building to be closer to here i was just talking to a resident a friend of one of the residents and i'm keeping able to get back in the people are afraid people are scared people are angry right now and they feel that their anger is justified. allison herrera that local journalist in minneapolis on the ground on the streets of minneapolis thank you very much allison will be obviously staying across those developments but for now let's go to john hendren our correspondent who is in chicago john there have also been protests in chicago just how widespread is this anger. it's across the nation now it's important to put it into context i mean this is just the latest shooting of an unarmed black man by police it is happen in new york it has happened in ferguson missouri in modified form in chicago in california and there have been

protests in all of those places denver los angeles new york and memphis just to name a few in the past 2448 hours or so it l.a. is had protests for 2 days in a row but the most violent clash actually happened in louisville kentucky and you heard a little about it in that story that you just played 7 people were shot now that's a slightly different situation what happened is that the incident of george floyd really just brought up an incident that happened there 2 months earlier in march when brianna taylor was in her home police marched in shot her dead in her own home she's an emergency medical technician apparently they were looking for drugs and found none but her boyfriend released a 911 call and that came at about the same time of the george floyd death so that really upset people there hundreds of them marched in the streets and in some kind of a confrontation we don't have a lot of information about 7 people were shot none of them killed 5 were in good

condition 2 were taken to hospital police say they never discharged their weapons in that incident in the mayor says the city is trying to recover from that and he's he's doing what the mayor of minneapolis is doing and that's trying to quell these rising anger but it is an anger that's happening all across the united states in african-american communities who believe that despite all of the protests over these past several years. nothing is happening about the shooting of unarmed african-americans by police. john as you say this is not the fast time something like this has happened not the 1st time that we've seen this level of anger across the country either do you get the sense that this growing social movement now is different to what we've seen in the past. it is more intense people are less patient because of the time that has worn on and yesterday was a really good example there was this high profile news conference announced in

which a number of federal officials local officials f.b.i. investigators all got together there was an expectation among the crowd in minneapolis that there might be criminal charges filed against the 4 police officers involved in this case but instead what they said was they are working on it they are investigating the case they don't want to rush it they asked for more information from anybody who had video or testimony from being there and that seemed to immediately disappointed the protesters and that's not what they wanted to hear and in the streets it got more violent immediately and you saw what happened overnight they are not satisfied with this response so i suspect this will continue until there are charges or until some resolution comes in some way we haven't foreseen and we'll continue watching all of that very closely indeed john hendren there for us in chicago thanks very much john well a c.n.n.

crew reporting on the protests in minneapolis was arrested by police live on camera take a look at this you know why i'm under arrest or why why am i under arrest and that man is reporting him in as he was showing demonstrators being arrested then he along with the production team with a score said away by offices c.n.n. has issued a statement calling it a violation of their fest amendment rights the governor of minnesota has since apologized and the crew has been released. well there's plenty more ahead on this news hour including a warning that hundreds of millions of workers are being exploited during india's coronavirus down and could end up deeper and poverty. and delivering food to the desperate including one he says haven't eaten for 17 days how coronavirus is making life even in parts of england. and one of the world's most famous marathons is canceled for the 1st time in its history all those details coming up in school.

well india's government is being accused of using the coronavirus emergency to exploit millions of wackos after 2 months of lockdown some of india's biggest states have suspended most labor laws in a bid to restart the economy trade unions say changes to working hours wages even health and safety standards we can work as rights at a time when they can't protest elizabeth purana reports from new delhi. and rebuild your view. of the seas the production of clothes for his designer label and his work. sales fell by 70 percent in the past 2 months to lock down and heyman says he'll have to layoff around 75 of his 300 employees. the suspension of most of the state's labor laws means he no longer beats the government's permission to fire stuff in this difficult finding industry is going to be suffering

a lot of these losses by it's going to be. this is what was very important. from the government. with a provision which is home to $230000000.00 people is one of many states to change its labor laws including getting rid of the minimum wage extended working hours and reducing employee benefits. the states say the changes will help businesses and get the world's 5th largest economy back on track but already paying. price. as soon as the changes were announced it was fired from the women's wear factory he's worked in for 4 years the. work is continuing at the company and 800000 people are working new workers have been hired on daily wages and none of those who used to work at the company have been brought back. trade unions say the revised laws will drive down wages in a country with a minimum is just over $2.00 a day union leaders defied lockdown guidelines to protest in new delhi which police

quickly dispersed bloated then when. i go to work you can look i don't resent the idea. of the country on the rim of the net. and i don't think i am going to run your. own live ammo. the biggest changes have been in states ruled by promise to marry the modis part of the jump the party critics say the government's using the economic slump to push through laws that supplants and 1st being elected 6 years ago and at a time when people aren't allowed to protest the international labor organization has warned 400000000 indians could slip into poverty as a result of india's lockdown and urging prime minister modi to send a clear message to states to opt labels and protect workers from exploitation elizabeth al-jazeera new delhi. government ministers in spain have approved a new basic income scheme for a 1000000 poor families there and the latest measure to help spaniards struggling

to make ends meet because of this coronavirus pandemic the family benefits is expected to cost taxpayers 3000000000 dollars a year we can now speak tomorrow herrera who joins me live from madrid talk us through how this is going to work. yes as you said and spanish government has announced you gave you approval of a minimum living income plan that would benefit all the people that are are suffering pull the as a result of the coronavirus crisis the spanish government will spend over $3000000.00 and it would benefit $850000.00 households and it will reach around $2300000.00 people so who will be benefiting from this minimum living income well those households that the way they have the less income they have is $250.00 these benefits will go from $500.00 up to

$1000.00 and this quantity would be adjusted depending on the number of children in the household or their economic circumstances we also have to remember this pain has around 2000000 people that are working in this submerged economy not because they don't declare via taxes they won't be included there will be left out so this is another big problem because all these people won't be able to get all these benefits for what we know so far as the decree has been published yet we know that the government is going to work hand in hand with the town halls and charities and n.g.o.s to reach the largest number of people of possible this is part of a very big economic plan launched by the spanish government in order to restart the spanish economy and help with the most needed montero there for us in the spanish capital madrid thank you very much martha well spain follows other countries in

experimenting with the basic income system of finland selected 2000 people at random in 2017 and then gave them $640.00 a month for 2 years they reported being happier and healthier the largest experiment started 4 years ago in kenya and charity then is paying more than 20000 . people $0.75 a day and run has a so-called unconditional cash transfer program nationwide the government makes monthly payments to families to compensate for phasing out subsidies on commodities and for almost 40 years in alaska every american maggette an annual check funded by oil revenues to alleviate extreme poverty well let's speak to college a quest he's a professor of philosophy at georgetown university and he joins us on skype from morehead city in the united states now we've been hearing these renewed calls for a basic income scheme particular during this pandemic and some of that i believe is about supporting individuals but some of it's also about supporting the economy and i see now epidemiologists are also saying it could help slow the spread of the

virus how would that work. well the the there's a lot of talk about basic income and so and some saw arms there's also a lot of people putting the label basic income on things that aren't actually based in this program in spain is not quite a basic income it's a it's a means tested scheme baby space can comes universal it can help with the buyers by being both 1 a bonus for people who stay in jobs and that's one thing the spanish program is not doing and and a question for everyone who has to stay out of the labor force during the virus so if you're so have to stay home during the virus the basic income is always there to cushion your your bloatware whereas in a lot of countries if you're not working your income goes to 0 and you have a very powerful reason to get out there and start making money and that's going to spread the virus so i mean some people would argue that

a basic income scheme from the state would disincentive as well particularly once the pandemic is over how would you avoid that. well basic it's not a disincentive if it is given to everyone whether they work or not so it is really completely neutral if you want to work what it does is it takes away the threat of poverty from from people what right now if people don't work we threaten them with economic destitution and homelessness i mean that exists as a threat and that allows employers to pay very low wages and still get people to take those jobs and so creates a very bad incentive problem where employers have incentive to pay very good low wages basic income fixes that incentive problem by giving people the power to say no to bad jobs and bad working conditions and gives employers the incentive to pay good wages that's where work incentive should come from they shouldn't come from threatening people with economic destitution or homelessness they should come from

good wages and good working conditions whenever you say oh helping the poor disincentive usses work what they mean is is that it is incentivizing employers to pay good wages and offer good working conditions and that's what they're trying to avoid col i mean this is obviously about addressing inequality but access to welfare systems themselves can be very unequal as well how does one tackle that. well yes and that's a problem that's that's a problem that basic income is designed to solve welfare systems are and this new minimum living income that that spain is introducing is is among a moment it is an improvement but it still has this problem that is means tested and judgment and we're looking your particular circumstances in giving you something tailored to your your system and went after you introduced targeting like

that you introduce slowdowns in the united states there are millions of people hanging on the phone trying to get unemployment insurance to prove that their target they meet the targeting requirements basic income is not targeted it is always there everyone can count on it and and that makes the difference for the most needy the most needy have the most difficulty prove it that they're eligible say your say your married to a man who likes makes a lot of money but he starts to abuse your children and you flee to a homeless shelter and you call you would then have to call the authorities wait on hold until you get to the right person you tell them i have no money and this is it says right here you have lots and lots of money you were married to this well many men and you have to explain that you just left him and they asked you to prove that basic income doesn't ask people to prove things like that. professor at georgetown university really great to get your thoughts sound out of there thank you. now

french come on you've had to rent has announced it could smash up to $15000.00 jobs over the next 3 is the company employs around $180000.00 staff globally and wants to reduce costs by more than $2000000000.00 now read i was already struggling before cars sales and through them too during the covert $1000.00 crisis joint venture partner nissen announced the closure of its factory in spain and $3000.00 redundancies just over 24 hours ago for more on the story let's bring in our correspondent to talk about the who is actually at the record plant just outside paris and she was the arroyo natasha how is the news being received where you are. 14 blogs across france this one is the one that's going to close and as you can imagine the more than 200 staff that work here are extremely upset and frustrated they don't understand why they are going to be losing their jobs why when only 260

or so people were a kid they feel that how is that going to be such a big saving for the companies they're very frustrated you can see a few of them gathered behind me as well as a few local officials because of course when a factory like this closes it's not just the people who work there that are impacted but everybody in the surrounding area from the shop to the restaurants because the workers use those and these are difficult economic times it is a very bad time to be losing your job but what we're no says is that unless it makes these kinds of cuts world wide and in france the car makers simply won't be able to survive it is launched this $2200000000.00 cost cutting plan over the last 3 years as you said $15000.00 jobs will be a cult worldwide more than 4000 of them here in france the comic has really been struggling over the last few years and 28 calls its home of course was arrested in japan in fact according to virus knockdowns which have seen car sales plummeting in

europe and also facing this transition to electric cars which is not a pressure on attach i want to ask you more about that because it is such an iconic french brand and the french government i believe has a 15 percent stake in the company are they pitching in to help out. yes the french government owns 15 percent. of course what happens to britain is very important for the french government and the french state i want to come to said is that they're in negotiation with the bosses for a loan a state backed loan which would be more than 5000000000 dollars to try to help the company survive but the french government has said the very adamant foreknow to benefit from that moment after she felt certain conditions one of them is that they must commit more to try to this transition to ecological cost to electric cars there is also a promise to take part in certain projects that are more ecologically friendly for example a franco a german project to make factories that they missed based more jobs in france as

very important for the french government had more of these car making jobs in france and not shipped abroad to lower cost countries so those are the commitments of the french government is looking for in order to benefit from that money natasha about there for us and she was illinois just outside thank you natasha. well it is now time for the weather and here is jenny and i say there may be an end in sight for all that heat behind you and it's amazing how she got 24 hours to do it really is so yes that's the really is because of course these really record breaking temperatures across areas of pakistan in particular and also northern and central india you can see here the red and if all these colors are showing you how the temperatures are now throughout friday at temperatures have come down dramatically 5678 degrees from what they were on thursday and this is showing the temperature gradient as we go into saturday so still cool some very deep dark reds but nowhere near as high as they have been and this is why is this is the forecast map to south

today so there's a real increase in the has been throughout friday of cloud across much of the area or so you know just to the north some pretty heavy downpours have seen plenty of rain is more of that in the forecast saturday extending all the way from northern pakistan right the way down towards west by goal down into addition and all the while of course more of this rain with the clouds coming on into carol and tom a lot about the real heat has been through these central areas so as we go on through sunday there will be a huge difference in the temperatures but they really have come down for example new delhi in the mid thirty's for the next few days it has been in the high forty's celsius so all of this of course is part and paul's the monsoon rains house officially started yet we can see signs here of these rains really push across into southern areas of india the other area watching very closely is this is a tropical disturbance it might or might not develop but through friday saturday and sunday this whole system just sits across the same area of amman pushes across into yemen and this could bring more than half a meter of rain in the stalls if it does do that we are going to see some very

serious widespread flooding goodness and we'll continue watching that thanks very much jenny well still ahead for you on out is there a growing concern in one province in pakistan after hundreds of children test positive that 19. and in support the fans of a danish football team visit him in to watch the restart of their league and he's here. that story. as the world fights the corona pandemic more than learning more about this every day it's a new patent your join our global community it's up to us on how we come together to fight and soaring your questions can i just as you type this is me directly that's coming on on you tube as you're saying i'm concerned about the frontline phone as the great quiet and not keeping you up to date amusing countries retreat back and beating back successfully the stream on 00. frank

police in the u.s. city of minneapolis they're trying to regain control after another night of protests against the death of an unarmed black man the national guard has been called in and the mayor has declared a 72 hour state of emergency. the president on trump has tweeted about the protests saying he's prepared to have the federal government assume control trump wrote when the looting starts the shooting starts. hitting that tweet behind a warning saying it violates its rules about glorifying violence. and spain's government has announced a new basic income scheme for a 1000000 poor families it's the latest measure to help spaniards struggling to make ends meet because of the coronavirus pandemic. well now china says it will take any necessary measures if the u.s. insists on interfering in hong kong that says donald trump is set to make an announcement later on friday about china's controversial national security law for hong kong move with. the u.s.

has significant interests in hong kong we urge the u.s. to have a clear view of what the situation and to stop interfering in hong kong affairs and china's domestic affairs if the u.s. is determined to harm china's interests china will take all necessary countermeasures the u.s. has ours to un to discuss hong kong affairs which is publicly interfering in china's domestic affairs and damaging the principles of international relations china of course opposes this their plan will not succeed the u.n. isn't a tool that the u.s. can play china and other countries who uphold justice won't allow the u.s. to blackmail the u.n. for its own purposes. the magic editor james spader's has more from u.n. headquarters in new york. it was the u.s. mission to the united nations that requested a security council meeting on hong kong a request that was immediately blocked by china but just hours later the issue was raised anyway by a guest speaker at the council the e.u. has foreign policy chief and turning to a very recent developments which they cannot stop or of white if

reading or i must express deep concern with the steps taken by china regarding nation role security legislation in hong kong. we believe that that is not going to go for with the with international commitments nor with the hong kong basic or the chinese position though was firm this was an internal matter that none of the security council's business how come affairs are purely china's internal affairs and allow no access to no interference it usually. has nothing to do with the mandate of the security council elsewhere at un headquarters where they were holding an event about global development post code 19 a most important player clearly didn't want to take sides are you concerned about

the new security law for hong kong today i do not intend to move into areas that are far from what we are discussing today because i don't want to divert attention from something that is very important spokesperson has already spoken. yesterday on the day before hong kong was handed over to china in 1997 by its colonial rulers the u.k. many older hong kong is still hold british passports but ones that don't allow them to reside in britain now the u.k. foreign secretary is proposing to change that status a move that's further likely to anger beijing months if china continues down this path and implement this national security legislation we will change that status and we will remove that 6 month limit and allow those being a passport holders to come to the u.k. and to apply to work and study for extended periods of 12 months and that would itself provide a pathway to future citizenship diplomats tell me they expect

a number of nations including the u.s. to continue to raise the issue of hong kong and that will only add to the growing tension both here at the united nations and on the wider global stage between the u.s. and china james al-jazeera at the united nations well taiwan's president has reiterated her support for pro-democracy protesters in hong kong and follows the passing of that new national security not for him come but critics say it takes away their freedoms alexia brian reports. a wall of welcome for taiwan's president sign when to a bookshop owned by hong kong dissident lam when k. is known for selling books critical of china's government he sought refuge in taiwan's capital last year after being detained by chinese agents forcing his shop in hong kong to close president used to visit in taipei to reiterate his support for hong kong's pro-democracy movement. the enduring spirit to fight for freedom of

the hong kong people is largely recognised by the taiwanese who also feel empathetic and we are willing when the hong kong people need help to provide assistance so i was the 1st world leader to pledge specific measures to help people from hong kong who may leave the territory because of a new national security law passed by china's parliament on thursday. the legislations triggered a new wave of anti-government protests by hong kong activists who say the law further destroys its autonomy and allows china's government to silence dissent. and fight for freedom there is no freedom of speech. was. the hong kong demonstrations have won widespread sympathy in taiwan which china considers its territory to be taken by force if necessary. when hong kong was

returned from british to chinese rule in 1907 the new special administrative region was promised freedoms under the one country 2 systems concept but china says those freedoms are being undermined by violent protests the. protests. going on. but china is facing growing international pressure over the law with u.s. president donald trump valen a tough response china's leaders a telling western powers to back off. we are driven countries to respect china's sovereignty abide by international law and basic norms of international relations be cautious and refrain from interfering in hong kong's affairs and china's internal affairs in any way. this pro-democracy statue called the lady liberty of hong kong once stood briefly on top one of the territories mountains now it's on

display in the museum a symbol of anger and defiance and the liberty protesters say they long for brian al-jazeera violet speak to steve tang he is the director of the china instead here's the so s. university of london he joins us on skype from washington steve this decision to support hong kong citizens by taipei i mean it's bound to intensify tensions with beijing what's the thinking is there a strategy at play here well i'm seeing what china and is doing time line is quite simply to go buy a save key area for dissidents in hong kong if they have to leave hong kong in a hurry i don't think that is any thing more then what is what you can see if it creates charges today or it will recede behind it and into the state of the u.s. and various other countries of all criticize china's imposition of this national

security legislation in hong kong and i mean right now just 14 countries i believe recognize taiwan is their thinking potentially that it's a good time to try to make the most of that sentiment against china that exists now in the international community. but in turn one is really much more just trying to get the international community to recognize and accept taiwan is a good member of the international community they know perfectly well that countries don't have food diplomatic relations with china will not switch diplomatic recognition to taiwan so they are not pushing for that nor for that matter are they pushing for independence taiwan from the perspective of the government in taipei has been and is an independent country for all intents and purposes and therefore there is no need for them to push water i recall one saying

when was reelected back in january it was with a record margin and it was a rebuke to beijing but that was with 57 percent of the vote so not everyone there necessarily agree is can you give us a sense about how people in taipei might be feeling about relations with beijing now. people in taiwan on the whole want to keep good relationship with china they do not want any confrontation with china but they are also very proud of their country and. democracy and they are not prepared or willing to give up on that and therefore they will not accept any kind of. forceful unification church to beijing would like to imposed the older woman majority or population in taiwan to support keeping taiwan gaze and not as they are or china or speaking of potential confrontation i do want to

contested there's actually been no formal demarcation of the border area. now back to the coronavirus pandemic and leaders of some of the poorest parts of the u.k. are concerned that they just won't cope if the government reintroduces austerity cuts in the wake of the lockdown there are fears that benefits and social spending will be thrashed to pay off the huge debts that have built up from supporting workers who've been laid off now and see reports from middlesbrough in northeastern england. what will things be like when it's all over for rich places maybe not so bad but poor communities have a right to be worried the post industrial landscape of teesside in north eastern england tells a story of joblessness poor life chances and the virus the high mortality rates if the british government tries to pay off its huge debt shore stero see that they can't begin to imagine how much worse things will get it's almost too difficult to comprehend how we would go about doing that because we're i think we're as low as

we can get in terms of the the cuts that we've made our frac on even start to think about how we would make more cuts 1st time experiences of all this show a town already on the age we need to live is vital supplies to 17 people with underlying health conditions and therefore most at risk in this tiny house of for asylum seekers including an elderly woman from sierra leone who has diabetes given the things binny has seen any more cuts to services would be catastrophic but there was a case right here in central middles for someone who did not eat for 17 days 17 for 17 days so she has been going over food banks she saw the food banks were closed and even though she was fully entitled as a citizen but she was look at you know what it looked and she was almost going to die disease thrives in poverty the economic response to the health care crisis

will make or break places like this. just before all this started the new british government swept to power on a promise of what it called levelling up plowing money into the forgotten english northern towns but not only has covered 19 put all of that on ice it's also led to a new enormous national debt of debts which towns like middlesborough are in no position whatsoever to help a back story here could be that of any port town in any country which has taken on massive debt nationally or globally that that will happen we will lose generations we will lose businesses people will lose hope hope the health and social implications will be colossal that it isn't an option for when these new affordable rates prudently and spending intelligently is the only solution to this so many of the problems here predated the virus but maybe the

health care crisis could have a silver lining after all better jobs stronger communities surely mean healthier people largely al-jazeera middlesborough or quarantine measures in the philippine capital manila will be eased from next month after months of a strict lockdown there that severely affected the economy that's despite a $539.00 new cases being reported on thursday at the largest spike since the 1st infection was reported there back in january in a televised address president trying to reassure the nation that the vast majority of cases a mild and that the death rate is lower while the reopening of hundreds of south korean schools has now been suspended and some others forced to close after a spike in corona virus cases there $58.00 new infections have been announced most of them from seoul and linked to an online shipping warehouse. and wearing a mosque in public is now mandatory 11 on anyone seen without one faces

a 14 dollars fine 2000000 free masks have been distributed by the government just in the past 3 days 7 new cases of coronavirus were reported on thursday pushing the total past $1100.00 as well as nearly 30 deaths turkey has partially reopened mosques as lockdown restrictions there continue to be lifted worship is will be able to attend their 1st friday prayers since mid march communal prayers will resume at limited capacity with those in attendance to search the distance nearly 4 and a half 1000 people have now died of the virus in techie. and now more than $900.00 children under the age of 10 have tested positive for corona virus and pakistan's southern sindh province most of them from poor families where social distancing is impossible at home. reports. relatives wait outside the busy emergency department in 6 province their children are inside isolated

receiving treatment for codes that 90 at least 930 children under the age of 10 have tested positive for the virus most of them a symptomatic but the concern is how they became infected in the 1st place but all new cases where the children probably have gotten this infection from some of their elders who had left the whole world bunch on there or probably the family did not practice distancing in the proper manner the reason why i'm saying this is because from since the 26th of february 2020 schools have been closed despite the pakistani government's advice to follow world health organization guidelines on social distancing many people here are not to some it's not a choice. most of the children that tested positive come from poor communities they live in cramped conditions big families in small spaces. look at the situation we're living in it's all solid waste the smell is everywhere

meanwhile the government is talking about hygiene and social distancing how is it possible in a situation like this and how can we keep our children safe. many of pakistan's hospitals are struggling to cope with a number of created 19 cases more than 61000 people so far and more than 1200 deaths with the numbers and with the economy already weak the crisis has forced many people out of work the government's projects 18000000 job losses more pakistanis. already going on food handouts it's a carrot straight due to a situation where you know if you open businesses you'll work everybody's life from risk if you shut down businesses then there is an economic downturn search not to be easy choice it's a choice between the devil and the deep sea basically. considering imposing another nation wide lockdown in trying to flattening the code but it may prove funny for

those living in sindh province which now has the highest number of confirmed virus cases in the country so the height of. force is next here on al-jazeera and there are no fans but plenty of. the nascar racing series continues with. business leaders.

business leaders. will. was. was. again a time for sports and here's andy thank you so much and stars you will up to 6 english

premier league games looks set to be played at neutral venues when the season restarts on june the 17th u.k. police say they've made the request seriously process to reduce demands on the force the specific games involved yet to be announced but a likely to include any fixture when liverpool could secure the title with a poor 25 points clear of the top of the table they say it's all of a plan to stop people gathering outside stadiums during games it's a view the club strongly disagrees with and his liverpool fan and broadcaster may lack consent football supporters being castigated as people who will break lock down not least by the police's responsibility it is to have a co-operative relationship with football supporters so if you can be really really clear in careful on every opportunity challenge this so will some people be idiots yes i have some people being idiots every single day of this yes will some of those people be able to be put into the camp of football supporters yes well of their of their identities multi-faceted don't have they be multi-faceted right the way

through absolutely. well the june 17th date remains provisional for now as the league waits for government guidance on exactly how to stage matches safely behind closed doors teams just steps up to full contact training with by the staff at every club being tested for coronavirus twice a week or course the world's not normal in and certainly trains not normally we would be you know after session they got to be bus soldiers and that's not really allowed at the left you know sit in the canteen and so they still have to come dressed to still have to park 3 places away so it's all the stuff that you have to just to day to yourself but i think we've proven that it looks very very safe. well authorities and fans have been remembering those who died at the 985 european cup final between events and liverpool pre-match crowd trouble at the high school stadium in belgium and in a surge by at liverpool fans so wards you very supporters 39 people mainly events as fans were killed when they were crushed against the wall every year and miss the

for the give the flowers for the community darien because i'll never forget this night never never. a spanish league president have it's about says games will restart on june the 11th teams have been allowed to training groups for the last week games will be played in empty stadiums and service says fans watching at home may be given the option of watching fans with crowds superimposed on the stands or the danish league has already taken a pretty radical approach to replacing fans in their stadiums are gay if supporters weren't allowed into their home ground for the resumption of the competition but thanks to a bank of huge screens fans were able to make a zoom call and join the action as best they could the league has made its return after being suspended for more than 2 months. the boston marathon has been canceled for the 1st time in its 124 year history the race which has been held every year

since $8097.00 the tracks around $30000.00 competitors from all over the world organizers say a virtue of end will be held instead entrance you can prove they've run the distance on their own will still receive a finisher's medal there's no way to hold this usual race format without brainwashed numbers of people in too close proximity and where out while i go in a hole was to make progress in contain the virus in recovery our economy this kind of event would not be responsible or realistic on september 14th or any time this year or the n.h.l. is the biggest north american league to announce they'd sell plans for a return the legal regime the $24.00 top ranked teams heading straight into the playoffs all remaining regular season games have been scrapped the league has teams based across canada in the usa but just to help cities will be used for all games the 1st up though voluntary practice sessions at team facilities and it's hoped they can start in early june the hockey rights are on kennedy says with no fans

being allowed in savan used teams still face a financial hit even if the season can be finished. the n.h.l. of the big 4 sports in north america is the most gate driven league it doesn't have a really big american t.v. contract right now so getting fans in your e-mail is more important for hockey than it is for baseball basketball or football so there are the financial haitians are very real you know and d.h.l. has a salary cap when the season began we were all going to supporting that in the coming years it would rise at least a few $1000000.00 especially because there is an expansion team coming in seattle and there is a new american t.v. deal coming in the next couple of years no it seems pretty likely that the cap will either be stagnant next year or even go down so we're looking at maybe $80000000.00

maybe go back into the high seventy's because of all of the lost revenue you know that the players are going to need a couple of weeks on the i expect for the play any real game simply because of the chance of being 3 otherwise so you're going to have to have everybody in the same place whether that's in the united states or in canada so i think that's the 1st step obviously you sniggering you know when they want to train you can't start it in which cities. well north america's nascar racing series is into the 2nd week of its comeback no friends. of the drivers were certainly fodder for this race in north carolina jury case and parents may be back colliding on the opening lap chase and it went on to win the rice is now food in the overall season standings. ok more from in a couple of hours but that is it for now thanks very much andy well that's also it for me and i started tape at this news hour don't go away i'll be back in just
