consequences might be after code 19 has torn through the body affected not just along but the kidneys the heart and even the great aunt jo the whole of her mars' hospital in scotland where the trying to. thank you for joining us to corona virus crisis is causing even more pain for workers in the world's biggest economy more than 1400000 people in the u.s. have claimed the unemployment benefits in the past week it's the 18th week in a row that that number has topped a 1000000 economists estimate 25000000 people are now out of a job the white house says this fundamental agreement on a new coronavirus stimulus package senate republicans are set to unveil the one trillion dollar aid bill on thursday a surge in infections has seen. some businesses and schools closed for

a 2nd time now almost 4000000 cases in the u.s. and about 143000 deaths and it's bring in our white house correspondent kate in washington d.c. so jobs numbers on the rise again kimberly what's the reaction from the white house if any. yet no official events on the president's public schedule but watching very carefully he's been active on twitter but has not made any mention about these numbers specifically but they're definitely going in the wrong direction for president trying to win reelection in november was hoping to do that easily on historically low unemployment that's all been wiped out as a result of covert 1000 and how this economy has been shut down with respect to these latest numbers as you point out 1400000 americans filing jobless claims that's up from last week now it's not the peak that we saw in march when we saw it in one week 6900000 americans filed for unemployment but the worry is that the

numbers could go back in that direction and here's why we're seeing a couple of big states california one of them also virginia close to washington d.c. where the cases are rising sharply there are other hotspots where there are concerns as well and when those businesses in those states have to close down workers have to stay at home and that's why we're seeing these numbers rise oh tell us more about the stimulus package when he that's going to be unveiled. yet what we know is that the white house has been working with its chief of staff mark meadows as well as the treasury secretary steve but working with republicans on capitol hill what we understand from this bill that the president is backing is that this will do a couple of things that will put in terms of short term relief some provisions to help ordinary americans who have been getting about 600 dollars a week that was set to expire very soon as well as another program called the paycheck protection program that allowed for small businesses to keep people on

their payroll even if they weren't open and with those set to expire there was a bit of panic about what americans were going to do so looks like there is some legislation now said to be unveiled that will address both of those things at least in the short term here's the problem though well republicans seem to be on board that it's not clear where democrats in the house of representatives are feeling and for anything to become law in this country you need to have both chambers of the u.s. congress in agreement for the president to sign that it's law so still a ways to go and time's running out because we know that this has to get down by the end of next week that's when the congress will take its annual summer recess so they are working very hard to try to make this happen thank you came with me for that kimberly how good life or is there at the white house. now some of the unemployment benefits from previous stimulus packages are set to expire and next congress when you use them as gave these under reports from new york many jobless americans in a field waiting for money they were promised. before sunrise hundreds of people

a week for anyone left unemployed by the pen demick the problem the money still hasn't reached many who need it so why are so many americans still waiting for their unemployment money i posed that question to jesse rothstein the former chief economist at the u.s. department of labor he said the federal government and state governments are facing an tidal wave of unprecedented demand and that the systems set up in the 1970 s. to distribute unemployment money simply have not been updated and can't keep up when you triple or quadruple the volume of claims that come in the system the computer systems can't keep up and to the extent that people need to be involved we don't have enough people to keep up. and so that little mechanism of the system is set up for a time that's very different from now and that leads to difficulties in getting

rigs out in times like this and with the pen demick still spreading across america and more states closing down again after reopening it's feared the unemployment lines could grow along with the frustrations of those still waiting for help gabriel is on to. new york in other world news 5 west african heads of state a meeting in mali to try to resolve the country's deepening political crisis that is casting ways to return to stability the side of the country which has compromised the security of the region have been protests for 6 weeks now in mali with tens of thousands of people demanding president. to step down activists accused of corruption mishandling the economy and failing to improve security nicholas hackett salling developments from neighboring senegal. we haven't seen such a high level delegation coming out to west african country since. they refused to concede defeat during the presidential election of 2016 in gambia so that shows the

the offenses that this individual has been found guilty of occurred in 1944 when he was a 17 year old who was part of an s. s. unit in short of a concentration camp which then was in nazi germany you know is in modern day poland the court that tried this individual was a youth court because the the age of the defendant when he committed the offense is was such that he couldn't be prosecuted in an adult court that's why the sentence passed on him is a suspended sentence a 2 year suspended sentence one of the interesting aspects of this case is as has been said that this is perhaps if not the last one of the very last opportunities that modern germany will have to prosecute those who it believes were guilty of crimes against humanity of war crimes during the nazi german era but it also is an opportunity to reflect upon the fact that many tens of thousands of people who had

a much more intimate connection with the machinery of mass murder during that time were never prosecuted this specific individual was interviewed by west german police extensively at the beginning of the 19 eighties and so the or forty's were fully aware of what he had done and what he had not done during his time at that camp and they did not prosecute him then it was only in the course of the last 4 or 5 years and the decision was taken to proceed against this individual. and more than 15000000 people have now been infected with corona virus worldwide most of recovered but doctors are still trying to work out the extent of long term damage in the 3rd part of our series we look at the research into what effects patients can expect john a whole reports from east kilbride in the west of scotland. well that's how it looks and that's the normal actually but then when you came with the disease that
