rise in mexico we meet the doctors in one intensive care unit trying to save lives . you cannot and will not stand by as people are threatened by care and report. and donald trump authorizes sanctions as the international criminal court investigates alleged war crimes by american troops in afghanistan. now stock markets in the united states have plummeted over fears of a resurgence in corona virus infections the federal reserve has also delivered a grim forecast for the country's economic outlook all 3 major u.s. stock indices were down at least 5 percent and their west a day since mid march that's when markets went into freefall as coronavirus lockdowns were announced now according to data tracked by the washington post since the start of june 5th. 18 states and push

a record have experienced their west week yet for new infections in cases in states like arizona new mexico and utah shows that covered 1000 is now sweeping across rural areas while retreating in major urban centers well al-jazeera is gabrielle elizondo has moved from new york. it's about many things but it all boils down to corona virus there are still deep worries now that this is spreading in more than a dozen states we're seeing numbers positive cases that are on the increase particularly texas florida and arizona these are all states that with the last few weeks if lifted their stay at home orders and so the economy is really coming back but coronavirus is as well and i think that has really spooked the markets as we also saw this is not even the 2nd wave study of the university of washington came out saying that that so-called 2nd wave of krona virus isn't expected to hit the

u.s. in till probably september and then you also still have no signs of a vaccine anywhere on the horizon late this year or early next year probably at the earliest add all that up and what is one trader said the markets have been operating on irrational exuberance the last few weeks and all of that ended with this huge selloff on thursday. and the number of americans filing for unemployment benefits continues to climb although at a slower rate as businesses start to reopen there were 1500000 jobless claims last week down from nearly 1900000 the week before now despite the foreland claims the u.s. unemployment rate remains at historic levels more than 44000000 wakas having filed for unemployment since the start of this pandemic well we can now speak to robert scott he's a senior international economist at the economic policy institute and he joins us now on skype from maryland rabbit we've seen the markets rally over the last few

weeks off the lows we saw in late march the quickest rebound i believe since 1933 it's all seemed and in fairly stark contrast to the collapse we've been witnessing with lock down so was today is for the inevitable at some point. i think it was i think that the recovery of the market was really driven by 0 in bassett's inspection loans reserve we've never seen the federal reserve. issues or strongly dollars of loans so big. it's the. stuff i says but this is divorce what's going on in the real economy where a. testament is about 32 years half 1000000000 will actually all on unemployment compensation or applied benefits and it may that's or it's called actual to that it's rubbish there are seem to be

a number of things going on here right a potential 2nd wave of infections the central bank now for costing sustained high unemployment and and also 170 about the speed of recovery as we say these restrictions lifted i mean but none of this was unpredictable right so what's driving this now. well i think you're absolutely right it is forecast in a while the impression the budget office there is a forecast published several weeks ago if you become and let me at the bottom i've been a half percent of the end of this year they are 8.6 percent at the end of next year just this week to came out with which actually their total output over the next decade will be $50000000.00 lower than it would have been. shot at the clinton crisis not hit i mean it's almost as recorders a year's worth of out it's going to be lost and. so this is this is well known i

think. what's new here is the realization that we are about to see another round. of. illness and hospitalizations and because more immediate. we are entering as well as the camera and this dance take going to be may be gone soon or even if you are oh i say that the treasury secretary steven h.m.'s saying that he doubts they'd be another shutdown even with a 2nd wave of infections presumably though economic activity requires people to actually want to leave their homes and fare well presumably also effect that so how the markets responding to that well i think that the government may or may not wish to shut down but frankly if the hospitals are overwhelmed that we have to begin building a bridge and the hospitals in sports stadiums around the country again and places like arizona and california. mississippi and others are always ensure our

rights gets better i think that we'll certainly she economic activity next we're concerned robert scott the senior international columnist at the economic policy institute always good to have your insights here on out of there my pleasure thank you. well the wild health organization is also warning of a sudden rapid rise in code than $1000.00 infections in parts of africa raising concerns about just how developing nations will cope with the pandemic and that interest reports it took 90 days for africa to reach 100000 coronavirus infections and only 19 to past the 200000 mark the world health organization says infections in africa are now spreading fast from urban to rural communities those areas don't have adequate access to health care or awareness of preventive measures one of the biggest challenges we face in the response continues to be the real ability of

supplies but equally test kids and this is due to the disruptions in the global supply chain the un as the supply chain toss was and other mechanisms i am pleased to address these shortages including work done by the african union and more than 8000000 diagnostic supplies and 200000000 my terms of has not protective equipment in the pipeline to be a prick and countries south africa algeria and chemical and all the continents hotspots the global health but he wants countries must act fast on implementing strong measures and in forcing social distancing but already many nations in africa are opening their economies with more than half the population having to go out every day to feed their families locking down entire towns and cities is proving costly experts say african-american for less than 3 percent of the global infractions for now but that could change of countries are able to control the

spread the outlook for now is warning for governments with nigeria's president warning that the violence in west africa in particular hasn't reached its peak 10 of africa's 54 nations account for 75 percent of 206000 infections a quarter i and south africa are low. but the continent is like him behind in testing and early management of cases health experts say the earliest to mention that the virus could kill up to 3000000 africans could still be avoided this is. particularly been on there was having a sustained community transmission on we vote in the appropriate measure but so i think since the beginning. they were one of the good think that we're not this in their african countries is that they move towards those stronger measures that's of course our feds also communities that is now regarding. there is

but in general we cannot just out what we are observing is that's what was predicting based on the worst case scenario the world have organization however says there is no indication that severe cases and that's being missed as the virus coast significant infections in refugee camps across the continent how many trees. brazil's death toll from the corona virus has now officially passed 40000 and they have been more than 800000 confirmed cases infections are rising rapidly but despite best shops are reopening and sao paolo and rio de janeiro and the west had country and latin america. well mexico has reported a record a daily rise of more than 4800 cases of coronavirus more than 15000 people have giant that doctors and nurses are exhausted and say they're lacking medicine and protective equipment john heilemann went to meet some of them as intensive care

unit in mexico city. the. new patient comes into this intensive care unit what his hospital mexico city. in this old war hospital from the 19th century the stuff heading into a new back to the enemy this time around these few survivors once patients are unable to breathe for themselves. was. an exhausted nurse julio cesa 32 has struggled to come to terms with. the moment the food or the toughest thing is your mental state because you put in all of your effort but the patients still don't survive in my shifts i've seen very few of them get better with the right stuff here or been going nonstop since the start of the pandemic and although the country's health system is cope so far the captains hospitals have approached much capacity even as mexico starts to go back to work are you worried

about the reopening of the country and what that might bring might get broken bones it's you know enough but again i'm more disappointed than worried because they say there's less patience and the curve is flattening now but we don't know that we could not have even reached the peak because for us there's been no decrease in the number of patients was nobody got enough and. the number of infected and the dead nationwide his surged and in mexico a worrying pattern is also emerging just had a quick check around this intensive care unit one thing that really strikes you is that everyone is under the age of 60 here and that's a real change in the trend from your. but it seems like the elderly with the most average. there's a reason 70 percent of mit's can i don't for obese due to a junk food have amassed in the rest of latin america and one in 7 have diabetes it

makes me it's conceivable aids is vulnerable coded. and even in this hospital one of the best equipped starflight the basic medicines treat them as make i'm not going to what i need there's still some antibiotics that we need and that we don't have so we have to talk to the family members to buy them and it means a delay but we don't have another option to get it it's been nothing you said but if you like them but i think. many of the myths can hospitals are in a worse state we stop across the country protesting about a lack of gear in training. perhaps because of that doctors and nurses are getting infected one of the highest rates in the world was with that grim panorama every success story celebrated. an hour elio aghast salesman is one of them he was being discharged on the day of a visit well though still fairly sick. nothing was going to stop him getting out how you feeling now you're about to leave which i feel really excited that's why

i'm coughing. blood he enjoys his freedom once more over. the team in the intensive care unit continue their struggle with the images that you're allowing us to. what do you hope you are susceptible to this i thought like and the good stuff where we want people to be aware that this is getting wars for people who see that 1000 doesn't exist to know that here on the frontlines we're seeing it for ourselves we don't eat for 8 hours we don't drink water we're giving our best but we need people to support us. this team knows that in mexico they still might be just the beginning john homan how does it a mexico city. on to other news now and the international criminal court has rejected the us president's plans to impose sanctions on some of its officials donald trump is trying to stop an investigation into allegations of american war

crimes in afghanistan but the i.c.c. says the move will undermine its efforts to ensure accountability for mass atrocities in jordan has more from washington. the united states has never been a party to the international criminal court in the hague it says the court does not have the right to put u.s. citizens on trial for alleged crimes against humanity war crimes or genocide but the trumpet ministration has gone further calling the i.c.c. corrupt ineffective and biased we cannot we will not stand by as our people are threatened by a kangaroo court. on thursday it imposed new sanctions on all i.c.c. officials investigating the behavior of us forces and cia operatives in afghanistan it gives us no joy to punish them but we cannot allow i.c.c. officials and their families to come the united states to shop travel and otherwise or joy american freedoms as these same officials seek to prosecute the defender of

those very freedoms the united states maintains the sovereign right and obligation to properly investigate and address any of our personnel's allegedly violations of the laws of war the new sanctions follow washington's decision last year to revoke the travel visa of the i.c.c. chief prosecutor failed to bensouda she's been pushing for the investigation and possible trial of u.s. forces since 2017 bensouda is also trying to prosecute the former sudanese leader omar al bashir for atrocities committed in darfur and she's investigating alleged israeli war crimes in the occupied west bank and gaza something the u.s. opposes i think it's the culminate. ssion of our evolution from a republic to an empire that believes that we live by our standards and are alone i don't think that we should look at this particular act of mr trump in isolation by

targeting bensouda as colleagues the new us sanctions raise questions about whether the court can actually do its job effectively we've taken note with concern reports of the executive order authorizing sanctions against certain individuals at the international criminal court will obviously continue to follow very closely any developments on this issue human rights groups say the trumpet ministrations decision could harm their ability to help the most vulnerable in war zones but for now the u.s. has declared it can't trust the i.c.c. to do the right thing which is to carry out just as an american terms rosalyn jordan al-jazeera washington. well still ahead on al-jazeera multiple mass graves are found. in the retaken by government troops from.

how it welcomes another look at the international forecast for the science of things turning quieter at last across north america certainly for the u.s. you can see largely clear skies now where remnants of christabel now making their way into one terrio grassy pushing up towards could back as we go on through friday still seeing some wet weather around the eastern seaboard just around the carolinas down towards the florida panhandle it dry weather started to come back a bit hot a few showers there into new mexico looking a little disturbed up towards the pacific northwest so washington and oregon will see some wet weather system rather wet weather to be making its way across british columbia into that western side of kind of that all makes its way further race with the mountain states seeing some larvae down poles for a time but ahead of that it is generally bad latif on

a dry well you could see wanted to show was that just creeping into colorado still a few showers just around the middle and to stay still a few showers to just around the florida panhandle further south what sunshine the showers across the caribbean some of these showers looking rather lively at times cuba they say some rather wet weather for a time most of the audience will see some shop showers from time to time a lot of sunshine as well and that wet weather affecting a good parts of central america. but. for many years i kept my promise to see. every time finding to extremism is. computor. i believe that we were superior how could i beat up other women want to if they really had started a race war. how far would i have gone looking in the mirror to confront the past exit

a witness documentary on al-jazeera. to . hello again i'm the star let's remind you about top stories this hour stock markets in the united states a record of the steepest trump since mid launched this came on rising coronavirus infections and a poor economic forecast from the federal reserve. the world health organization is warning that coven 1000 as accelerating across africa infections have doubled to 200000 in less than 3 weeks he says a lack of testing kits remains a big problem. president onil trump has authorized sanctions against international

criminal court officials investigating u.s. conduct in afghanistan the i.c.c. has rejected the measures calling them an unacceptable attempt to interfere with the rule of law. now america's top general admits he was wrong to join president donald trump for a photo opportunity outside a church after the area was cleared of anti-racism protesters chairman of the joint chiefs of staff mark seen here in army fatigues says he regrets accompanying trump he says it created the perception of military involvement in domestic politics really was with trump as he walked through lafayette square after police used pepper spray and stun grenades to disperse protesters and the president then posed with a bible outside the church as many of you saw the result of a photograph of mia lafayette square last week that sparked a national debate about the role of the military. or should not have been. my presence in that moment and in that environment created

a perception of the military involved in domestic politics as a commissioned uniformed officer it was a mistake but i have learned from and i sincerely hope we all can learn from. well calls for changes to u.s. policing practices has prompted a response by donald trump as a campaign style event and dallas trump said his administration wants police departments to adopt national standards it comes in the wake of nationwide protests against police brutality over the death of george floyd well let's cross now takara's on andy gallagher he's in miami for us and he despite these nationwide demands for police reform and seems president tom's pushing back well essentially yes this was a wide ranging roundtable conversation where he did address some issues on race and policing he talked about education reform for communities of color we talked about black business owners getting loans from the government to get their businesses

back and he talked about religion playing an important part in public life but when it comes to police reform that was the real headline here he outlined an executive order that he says he is finalizing let's hear what president all terms of vision for police in the u.s. will be in the future we're going to finalize an executive order that will encourage police departments nationwide to meet the most current professional standards of force and then we use force but force with compassion but if you're going to have to really do justice somebody is really big you're going to have to do it with real strength real power and i said and people said oh i don't know if you like that expression i said we have to dominate the streets you can't let that happen what happened in new york city the damage they have done with me. and we were also just tearing out of the country's top general admit regret for joining president trump on his photo op with the bible and he's received criticism from so

many quarters i believe there were faith leaders present at this rally today how if they received him. well this was a hand picked crowd i think there were lots of cheers about everything that president trump had to say interestingly 233 key leaders from the county police chief the district attorney the local sheriff were not at this meeting and they all happen to be african-american so that was a glaring. missed opportunity there if you like i don't know if those people didn't want to come to the meeting but president trump really is not backing down from his stance of law and order being the best way forward for this country and for its police forces he's clearly backing the police despite the fact that many people are calling for reform in fact at one point at several points he talked about the defunding of the police being the police departments being taken apart that of course is not the case defunding police departments is where they look at the police department's budgets take some of the money away and put it into social

programs to improve the lives of people often who are in communities of color so there is no real change in stance here this is an executive order that advises police forces to go and use best practices it isn't the kind of sweeping reform that you've seen organizations like black lives matter call for so i don't think we're going to see the president berge really on any kind of wide sweeping federal police reform and the gallagher there across all those developments for us from miami thank you very much candy now syrian president bashar assad has sacked his prime minister just a month ahead of elections the water resources minister hussein are knows will take over from him on harness until the parliamentary vote in july the president's decision comes amid a deepening economic crisis which has seen the country's currency plans turkmani is the director of the syria conflict research program at the london school of

economics and political science she says changing the prime minister will make no difference to serious economic crisis. the main reason there was a popular pressure to change the prime minister really is the economic deterioration and the reason why the syrian public were criticizing the prime minister and the minister is only because they know this is the level they can criticize without getting in trouble they know that any syrian prime minister has no power at his disposal to change the situation they know that the power lies somewhere else but this is that where this is about where they can create in no point their pretty sights and so it may relieve a little bit of criticism but it's not going to change anything the constitution doesn't give the prime minister any power even if he has a right now the economy isn't complete completely under one and there's very little he can do to rescue the situation the household income which was almost

$230.00 the average salary in 2010 right now it's $40.00 when the prices of good have increased $34.00 so the level of suffering right now in syria just i'm president we're hearing about people more like really high upper middle class going to bed hungry right so it's really hitting everyone and changing the whole government is not going to lead to any change. now the u.n. says it's horrifying at the discovery of mass graves and the libyan city of taffeta and other areas basically we've taken it from force as well to want out if you have to let me as you recognize government says the graves contain the remains of their soldiers who were taken prisoner to one of us have to as a last remaining stronghold in the west of the country government forces recaptured that says he last week many trainers in misrata with more. now today forces are saying that they've been able to recover hundreds or or over 100 bodies in these

mass graves these mass graves are yet another indication of the brutality of the libyan conflict and the full on the on the residents in the area now in march the u.n. support mission in libya released a statement saying they received reports of hundreds of unforced disappearances killings and the displacement of entire families in the city of to whom by the kenyatta again the 9th brigade that's the militia that was under the leaf i have in control of the city of through no u.n. support mission also added that they verified numerous summary executions at the to whom the prison on september 13th so now the d.n.a. the health officials have told us that they are finding out that civilians are among the dead in these mass graves were also understanding that the d.n.a.

ministry of justice have appointed a committee to identify and investigate but that's the circumstances of the death and the minister of interior but the bush has said they will pursue the perpetrators of these crimes. now hundreds of people in nepal have protested against their government's handling of the current a virus outbreak demonstrators in the capital kathmandu rallied on the road leading up to the prime minister's office they say government officials in charge of buying testing kits are corrupt police fired water cannon and warned people they were violating lockdown measures by coming out in large groups the poor has now reported more than 4300 infections and at least 15 deaths. german airline lost tons of says it may come to 22000 full time jobs worldwide because of the drop in demand for flights caused by the corona virus outbreak that's more than twice the number of jobs the airline previously warned may be axed the company said it expects to

have about $100.00 fewer planes in operation after the pandemic there are tons agreed to give up for airport slots in exchange for a 10000000000 dollar bailout that would give the government a stake in the airline. this is al jazeera and these are the headlines stock markets in the united states have recorded this steepest falls since mid march this came on rising corona virus infections and a poor economic forecast from the federal reserve. is a new york and says the turbulence on wall street can be directly attributed to the coronavirus there are still deep worries now. this is spreading as you mentioned in more than a dozen states we're seeing numbers positive cases that are on the increase particularly texas florida and arizona these are all states that with of last few

weeks of lifted their stay at home orders and so the economy is really coming back but coronavirus is as well and i think that has really spooked the markets. and now the world health organization is warning that covert 19 is excel racing across the african continent infections have doubled to $200000.00 in less than 3 weeks the w.h.o. says a lack of testing kits remains a huge problem president donald trump has authorized sanctions against international criminal court officials investigating u.s. conduct in afghanistan the i.c.c. has rejected the measures calling them an unacceptable attempt to interfere with the rule of law the united nations says it's horrified at the discovery of mass graves and the libyan city of tire huna and other areas recently retaken from forces loyal to the world khalifa haftar libya's un recognized government says the

graves contain the remains of their soldiers who were taken prisoner. syrian president bashar assad has sacked his prime minister just a month ahead of elections the water resources minister hussein our new us will take over from him out of the mist until the parliamentary vote in july the president's decision comes amid a deepening economic crisis which has seen the country's currency plunge and fresh protests have broken out across lebanon as the nation's currency dips to new lows against the dollar in the capital beirut demonstrators gathered near the central bank and blocked off major intersections the government has been in talks with the international monetary fund for weeks but there are no signs of an imminent deal on an economic rescue package well those are the headlines do join me for more news here after talk to al-jazeera stay with us. as protests rage over police brutality and corona virus grips the nation campaigning on the election trail has been forced
