10:01 am
it's a rough road ahead for britain's car and aerospace industries that as the u.k. economy records its biggest monthly decline on record. thank you for joining us we begin in india where health officials have recorded the biggest single day jump in grown a virus cases with nearly 11000 new infections in just 24 hours hospitals are so overwhelmed with patients they're turning some away the rise in infections comes as the government eases its nationwide lockdown indiana has around 300000 cases the 4th highest in the world and at least 8 and a half hours and people have died that speak to our correspondent in new delhi elizabeth ron i'm in is this rising number of cases and deaths has doctors and nurses struggling to deal with this crisis.
10:02 am
absolutely folly and not the day another record high in the number of cases and deaths of that's important to remember that india is still not testing enough so we don't have the complete picture of cases and both medical workers and patients are struggling to deal with the situation as the number of cases continue to rise we've seen a number of protests this week doctors at the main public hospital in the southern city of hi there bob went on strike for days this week after a doctor was attacked by the family of a patient they said that was just the tipping point for them the nurses union at india's leading public hospital here in delhi was on strike were protesting rather threatening to go on leave and on strike for over a week because of their working conditions they cooled off and leave the last minute after the hospital met their demands and we also got doctors at 2 of the biggest public hospitals here in the capital treating coronavirus patients saying that they're going to resign on mass the next week on less than 3 months salary
10:03 am
that's owed to them is going to be paid and already we have patients who aren't being seen to enough when they're in hospitals of patients reports of patients being turned away from hospitals and dying off the woods and here in delhi the number of deaths on to adding up municipal corporation say that they have buried twice the number of coronavirus patients than those being reported by the delhi government this week and also government planning to deal with this. so the government has warned that all of the worst effects effected states that. are going to run out of i.c.u. beds and ventilators of the next few months if they haven't already and they're asking all states to expand their facilities here in delhi they're expecting more than half a 1000000 cases by the end of july and say that they're going to need 80000 more
10:04 am
beds than they have now and they want to follow mumbai's example and convert sports stadiums into treatment centers indian variant ways is continuing to give rein weight carriages to states to treat patients but health experts say that it's you can buy i.c.u. beds and you can buy ventilators but it's not so easy to buy the critical care specialists to man those beds or the pole monologist to use the ventilators in such a short period of time and that these are all investments that should have been made 2 or 3 decades ago and the best thing for the government to do now is expand testing and also report on deaths accurately thank you for that liz elizabeth brown i'm live for sara in new delhi. share markets in asia have opened down after huge losses on wall street on thursday the drop is being fuelled by concerns of a 2nd wave of corner virus infections in the u.s. as well as fears of
10:05 am
a slow recovery al-jazeera is gave it is on has more 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 have 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 at the university of washington came out saying that the that so-called 2nd wave of coronavirus isn't expected to hit the u.s. in til 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 as one trader said the markets have been
10:06 am
operating on irrational exuberance the last few weeks and all of that ended with this huge sell off on thursday. the top u.s. general says he was wrong to join president donald trump for a photo opportunity outside a church near the white house after the area was cleared of anti-racism protesters the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff mark miley seen here in army fatigues says he regrets making the walk with shame he says it created the perception of military involvement in domestic politics miley was with the president as he walked her laughter yet square in washington after police used pepper spray and sun grenades to disperse protesters on the stairs and gallagher says it's just the latest sign of dissent within the trump administration. i think it's pretty significant that a 4 star general with decades of experience in the u.s. armed forces made a statement like this this is a man that serves the president and also represents the constitution and the
10:07 am
american people and i think that he's really owning what he admits himself was a mistake we saw those pictures of him strolling with president trump in those unprecedented scenes shortly after those peaceful protesters were cleared out in full army fatigues and there is a clear. you know confrontation between what his job is and what he was doing enough moment in time and now you've got marcus but the secretary of defense who publicly disagreed with president trump over his threat to deploy the military that's a calm the protests here across the country now saying that he will review the national guard's reviews over the past few weeks in these protests we've seen across the nation so there is dissension in the ranks i think. in the white house and marcus for apparently president trump was considering firing him and he was talked out of it by some of his senior advisers that's according to at least one publication here in the u.s. but these are most men i think that realized in that moment that their job was not
10:08 am
just to work for the president but also to represent the american people and up hold the constitution so in some ways i think the general especially at. took a risk but he also is a man of honor i think that realize what he did there was wrong and is really owning that mistake marcus for the secretary of defense may well be on thin ice that's sort of the impression you get from the latest press conferences at the white house where the press secretary was saying for the moment markets remains the secretary of defense president trumps pleasure but it seems for now president trump has been talked out of farming and. all calls for changes to u.s. for leasing practices have prompted a response from donald trump at a campaign style event in dallas the president said his he wanted police departments to adopt national standards this comes in the wake of nationwide protests against police brutality after the death of george floyd in police custody
10:09 am
we're going to finalize an executive order that will encourage police departments nationwide to meet the most current professional standards of force and that means force but force with compassion but if you're going to have to really do just this somebody is really bid 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 we like that expression as if we have to dominate the streets you can't let that happen what happened in new york city the damage they do if you're going to. a u.s. base video conference firm zoom has admitted suspending the accounts of rights activists at the request of the chinese government is the initially said it was following local laws when it temporarily blocked former student leaders involved in arranging events for the anniversary of the 10 men square massacre in beijing the account of a hong kong politician was also suspended meanwhile twitter says it's removed more than 170000 accounts tied to
10:10 am
a chinese state backed misinformation campaign the network focus heavily on hong kong but also plays china's response to the pandemic many of the accounts were set up in late january then became more active as the outbreak spread beyond china. now protesters are starting to gather in hong kong as a controversial national anthem raul comes into effect and legislation makes it a criminal offense to mock trial as anthem activists say it violates their freedom of expression and they see it as another sign that beijing is doing away with hong kong's autonomy that speak to a debate upon and in hong kong forests this is an important day davy em all try to protest this for 2 reasons tell us more. one of the reasons you just gave that's that national anthem law coming into force and the other reason is because a year ago today protesters surrounded the legislative council on councilman headquarters when they were debating an extradition bill now that bill would have
10:11 am
allowed hong kong suspects to be tried in mainland china opaque and communist one courts and they were trying to disrupt proceedings that at that point police shut down those protests people dispersed and both protesters and police up the ante still canisters of tear gas water cannon and in the ensuing months molotov cocktails in the protest side rubber live fire from the police side rubber bullets so today's scene of the day that hong kong protest movement changed the nature of human rights activists say the day when police started using excessive force on protesters and protesters then changed their tactics in response to that setting up blockades across hong kong and it led to nearly 6 months of daily antigovernment almost by island protests and almost every day without blockading roads trying to disrupt the city it completely changed the way the protest movement began and now
10:12 am
is seen in hong kong yeah you've talked about the evolving tactics of the protesters there tell us a bit more about that how how have the tactics evolved in the last year. well i must say over the past few months the protest movement has been somewhat subdued you coronavirus restrictions that the government tried to handle the out break here and i also must say that there is still a social distancing measures in place with no more than 8 people allowed to gather at any point but what protesters have done in response to that has made the protests much more spontaneous if you will and also a lot more anonymous and organic police also had a few months to review their tactics and what they're trying to do rather than before when they would wait until the momentum built up and they would try to break up the protesters they now try and stop the protests almost before they happen and they have the added impetus of using the fact that social that protesters are breaking social distancing measures so what you see now is protesters well and
10:13 am
mounts that something will be happening on the dates on to exactly what or where or when and closer to the time though these messaging apps social media and you'll see a core group of protesters gather and what seems like the public joining them so it looks very organic protesters all to tell whoever is joining them not to wear black is that used to distinguish protesters before and now due to the fact that almost everyone in hong kong is wearing masks it's hard to tell who's a protester and who's just a member of the public so it's a lot more fluid a lot more again what seems to be a lot more spontaneous in response to how police have also changed their tactics ali thank you for that data palin live for sarah in hong kong. still ahead on al-jazeera why hundreds have rallied in the philippines capital against a new anti-terrorism long and a change of my. seat late always and to maintain relations with donald trump.
10:14 am

protests and asian stocks have opened lower after markets in the united states recorded their steepest decline since mid march this follows rising coronavirus infections in a poor economic forecast from the us federal reserve. and the u.k.'s economy shrank by more than 20 percent in april the largest monthly contraction on record as the full impact of the coronavirus lock down was felt it comes as union leaders have told al jazeera that manufacturing is on the brink of its biggest collapse in generations every week thousands of jobs are being lost in sectors like aerospace and kamani fracturing nor into the reports. it might be james bond's car of choice but the pandemic is proving to strong aston martin the luxury carmaker announcing nearly a quarter of its highly skilled workforce is to go it's a sign of the times where can they go if they lose their jobs at the moment while at the moment there is no way it's again nobody's recruiting in the car industry across the west midlands nobody is recruiting in the car industry across the u.k.
10:18 am
we've seen the announcements from bentley of a 1000 workers blame i didn't have seen the previous and i'm from a side east where they are losing a very large number of their existing employees so the reason no way for them to go every job in a car factory generates 10 in the supply chain just up the road this company which makes parts for nissen and jackie landrover just announced over 400 job cuts to jackie landrover has only just come back with very limited capacity because of social distancing it's announces its annual results next week and it will not be pretty. in april of this year the u.k. produced fewer than $200.00 new cars and registered just over $4000.00 that's the lowest level since $946000000.00 which are completely unsustainable the government's focus then and now remains on reducing infection rates on what to do about the flood crisis in british manufacturing there's almost total blanket

silence. nearby is commentry the u.k.'s home of the motor car it went through a collapse in commie king when margaret thatcher was prime minister in the 1980 s. and it has taken nearly 2 generations for the city to get over it but it now has a plan for how to avoid it all happening again and it wants the government to hear it's the figures i'm seeing taking in employment levels to a place that we haven't seen not just my generation the generation before but maybe the 1920s what we need to go much to do is as well as thurlow in people and spending billions of pounds on actually keeping people off work and each we invest in new technology called trees the location for the u.k. laws ation center we need to be the place where the new batch of the future the built union leaders nationally are having similar conversations even suggesting a new made in britain strategy could tie in with brics it's but they say they aren't getting very far reopening the economy will make the difference between
10:20 am
a very deep and damaging recession and a depression and if we move into a longstanding depression that has consequences not just on jobs and i'm talking millions of jobs. but on people's health it recessions kill people the view across the industry is that it's like watching the tidal wave coming and not getting off the beach companies are making hard choices the effects on people will be every bit as bad as the virus lawrence leigh al-jazeera in the west midlands. protesters in lebanon have tried to occupy the central bank as the nation's karen c. dropped to new lows against the dollar the government has been in talks with the international monetary fund for weeks but there are no signs of an imminent dean on a rescue package as victoria gave him the record. antigovernment protesters face so food security forces instead a route. they played the ruling alliance but the political turmoil and economic
10:21 am
chaos engulfing let alone. this area of the capital has been a frontline since october when the protest movement began against the sectarian political class which has ruled for decades but been able to stop the revolutionaries will topple the government and a new technocratic government will emerge which will save the country from the existing crisis the current government and political parties are not able to and they don't want to save the country from the ongoing crisis they want to steal it they don't care about the country. lebanon is facing its worst economic crisis in decades foreign currency has stopped flowing in and its reserves are dwindling the lebanese lera has lost 70 percent of its value since october and inflation is soaring the world food program says prices of basic goods have increased by at least 40 percent 'd. i came down here to protest to try to build
10:22 am
a country and this is the 1st starts of the protests started on october 17th i get that feeling that we the people are all in the same boat. the government is seeking billions of dollars this so far talks with the international monetary fund have made little progress prime minister has said has promised positive change parties being criticised for a lack of action victoria gaited be al-jazeera. and lebanon is an entry point for foreign currency into neighboring syria so the cry. this is causing a ripple effect and our president bashar assad has sat has prime minister just a month ahead of elections and water resources minister will take over until a parliamentary vote in july a president's decision comes amid a deepening economic crisis which has seen the country's currency plunge into of money is director of the syria conflict graham at the london school of economics and political science she says changing the prime minister will make no difference
10:23 am
to the 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 criticism so it may really rule little bit of criticism but is 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
10:24 am
the prices of good have increased $34.00 so the level of suffering right now in syria just on president than 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. the united nations says it's horrified by the discovery of mass graves in the libyan city of tire hole 9 other areas recently every taken from forces loyal to warlord hadi for half ton libya's government of national accord says they contain the remains of government soldiers who'd been taken prisoner. had reports from now. whenever a mass grave is found into honus city mahmoud ruda rushes to look for members of his family he says local pro hafter fighters known as the brigade kidnapped and killed his 2 brothers 3 sisters and 3 cousins.
10:25 am
i'm aware that my brothers sisters and cousins are all dead we also found 34 women dead in the morgue in the main hospital there are also children dozens of but his have recently been found on the outskirts of town who now some a disfarmer they'll have to undergo forensic examination and have d.n.a. samples taken. in april last year after his fighters launched a military campaign to seize the capital tripoli. but last week they lost their stronghold of thought huna and have now been driven out of western libya by forces loyal to the internationally recognized government witnesses have told the general prosecutor's office that after his fighters killed hundreds of opponents including women and pro-government captives the alcan is also turn it some of the military
10:26 am
camps into detention centers on the walls portraits of muhsin and carney the government says he's the most notorious of the commanders who carried out executions and that's clearly look at. everyone who was brought to this camp after april 4th last year disappeared when we liberated the city we found some of the murdered captives in the scamp. the government is now trying to restore infrastructure that was damaged or destroyed by the war with the social rift caused the white house to the voters in the city will likely take a long time to prepare for more than a year to hone a city was a base for half those fighters to attack tripoli now as the government tries to bring to life in the city back to normal by pulling out its forces and calling for displaced civilians to return home the victims' families say they are waiting for justice to be served with. north korea
10:27 am
says there's little point in maintaining a relationship between its leader kim jong un and the u.s. president while washington remains hostile young foreign minister made the comments on the 2nd anniversary of a landmark summit between the 2 leaders he said north korea would no longer allow donald trump to score political points right meeting came while giving nothing in return robert kelly is professor of international relations at south korea's full sun national university he says north korea no longer trusts a u.s. president to bring about substantial change. i think the north koreans came into that really expecting that meeting with trump personally that was the 1st time ever got to meet a u.s. president would bring some kind of change right it would allow them to skirt around the national defense bureaucracy and foreign policy community in america which is not hostile to deal with north korea for decades right and this would allow them to sort of leapfrog over that go straight to the president and finally pull out a deal and trump just didn't do that i mean he has pushed for
10:28 am
a deal with north korea has been sort of erratic and kind of confused you know he talks about the love letters and then he kind of drops north korea for 6 months you know and i think the north koreans have just sort of gotten burned sort of like i think the way the rest of us have gotten burned right that that trump is a sort of very erratic and he loses the thread often and he drops things that don't interest him and everything else and i think that's what you heard today the north koreans have just they just had it and they're not going to let you know they don't want trump's or manipulate photographs and this and that you know it's a there's a big deal coming because the elections coming up the north koreans have always played it tough right i mean this is one of the sort of the longstanding criticisms of efforts to engage north korea is that the north koreans always sort of offer a door demand sort of these enormous preconceptions in this case a south korean lee it's been very very difficult because the north koreans want the south korean government to clamp down on anti north korean protesters but south korea is a liberal democracy and that's really difficult obviously in the south korean government is now being accused of sort of doing the dirty work of the north koreans it's all really sort of difficult and complicated and this is one of the reasons why trump didn't get much out of north korea because the north koreans sort of fight over every single inch and the behavior that we're seeing now we've seen
10:29 am
in the past. to the philippines now and hundreds of people are protesting in the capital manila against a new untied terrorism law to say the bill gives police expanded powers that could be open to abuse they fear president we're going to take could use it against his political opponents and critics but the government says it's needed to stop attacks by armed groups i mean i linda again has been speaking to some of the protesters about their concerns with the new legislation. this is the biggest protests since the lockdown was imposed by the philippine government more than 2 months ago that tried to stop the spread of coronavirus in the country on one we do everybody. here to give them my voice to junk but there are people here tell us they have been paroled says thing online over the past few months but the government refuses to listen they've been calling on the government to improve the country's social

services to focus on mass testing and to provide for jobs for millions of filipinos who continue to lose their employment instead they see the government spoken then to impose more oppressive and restrictive laws and are not enough measures basically to make sure that he won't be used against average citizens. so again i'm fully back to bo with the headlines on al-jazeera india has recorded the biggest single day john been grown of r.'s cases will be nearly 11000 new infections in just 24 hours the rise in infections comes as the government eases a nationwide lockdown and is a quantum has more from new delhi. so the government has warned that all of the worst effects affected state this mosque to delhi tamil nadu going to run out of i feel your beds and ventilators of the next few months if they haven't over. d.
