also need to keep pace and adapt it's easy to assume that cities are fertile ground for spreading viruses and diseases millions living working and commuting in such tight conditions but one expert says it's about much more than just density it's about how all this was put together and how it's run. al-jazeera. hello i'm adrian for the given this is the news hour live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes there is no silver bullet at the moment there might never be a grim warning from the world health organization as countries across the world announce renewed restrictions to hold a surge in corona virus infections. u.s.

politicians to begin another day of talks over further financial aid for millions of unemployed americans. 36 people killed and at least 300 inmates of a scaped after an isolator a high security prison in afghanistan. and world leaders paid tribute to john hughes a nobel laureate and leading figure in the open island's peace process. and i found the how much not have all the sport is an act then pro wrestling star and now an american football league oh no. the access together with an investment firm for $15000000.00. we begin this hour with a stark warning from the world health organization as the rush to find

a corona virus vaccine intensifies while the w.h.o. is applauding the efforts of more than $140.00 research teams around the world it says that people should not pin their hopes on the discovery of an effective vaccine and stresses the basic prevention measures remain crucial. we also hope to have a number of effective vaccines that can help prevent people from infection however there is no silver bullet at the moment and then might never be for now stopping outbreaks comes down to the basics of public health and disease control testing isolating and treating patients and tracy and quarantining their contacts do it on inform empowered and listen to communities do it all for individuals it's about keeping physical distance

wearing a mask cleaning hands regularly and coughing safely away from others do eat all will have call for global solidarity came with an extra warning for countries with high transmission rates including brazil and india the world health organization saying that they face a long battle to find a way out of the pandemic what else is a professor of epidemiology in medicine at columbia university's melbourne school of public health she says the w.h.o. is message is timely. i think the warning from the director general is is a wise move at this point in time as the as think we want to do is to have people be complacent let go of all the preventive measures that they need to be practicing in the hope of having a vaccine down the line this will be a big mistake which we need to do is to continue to lead double our efforts to do

what needs to be done now rather than let go of those measures and hope for a vaccine in the future i would take an optimistic stand then i would say even if we find an effective and safe exene and this does not mean that everyone will get the vaccine immediately and we have to start planning today our public health systems have to start planning now for the availability of such a vaccine so we can prepare communities b. can prepare people so that they are willing to get the vaccine because it does not help to have an effective and safe sex scene sitting on shall we have to get to the vaccine to the largest numbers of people around the world as quickly as possible their case government says that it's running out tests for the coronavirus the can provide a result within 90 minutes millions of these are to be sent to hospitals care homes or trees as early as next week some health experts though a voiced concern over how reliable the new tests will be a person's health minister says that swift testing could help to make the country

safer. these technologies which deliver these rapid turnaround tests world mean that we can expand testing capacity further and into settings where for instance in schools we have a currently we have survey testing so we have some testing that would be able to be expanded but also looking at looking across the community where we want to test people who don't have symptoms to find out where the virus is al-jazeera go is live for us in london so here tell us more about these new rapid covert 19 tests. well later in the potentially a game changer in terms of how effective the government can be in isolating tracking inch and testing any new searches of corona virus infections around the country and it stems really down to the fact that rather than having to

send off your results and get the results within $1.00 to $2.00 days you're literally going to get it in an hour and a half and that really you know it could sort of have all sorts of possibilities for being able to sort of send about people who are thought to be asymptomatic at all you could it could mean possible changes for people trying to get back to work if they can be tested and mass testing for that and also for sporting events as well so really it's quite crucial nava have been questions surrounding the efficacy of this how how effective is it the companies behind the testing kit say that they have controls in place to make sure that they don't have any false negative readings that come out of that in place but the scottish 1st minister nicholas sturgeon said that she cautiously welcomed them saying that they would be looking at them critically to see how well they would be doing but all in all

really could really are sure in a new era of mass testing across the country and with that hope having to get a more tactical sort of look at how one does continue still lockdowns in future to contain any infections and how targeted you can make them which is something of concern to the government as it struggles not to want to go into another national lot of something that a lot of governments do not want to do again but to make this absolutely efficient and absolute targeted so normal life as it were. all the new normal could go back speaking of normal life this time of the year of course many brits would be on holiday in portugal not this year though new figures from that country preaching a bleak picture for tourism in portugal. yes extremely bleak picture for the country especially as portugal had complained quite

loudly that it hadn't been put on the list of countries with which british tourists could go to someone hadn't been really a problem but if you compare the numbers this year to last year there's been a 96 percent decrease in visitors going to portugal that british visit was just from germany from neighboring spain as well which is an absolute disaster for the country when you consider that tourism in itself represents about 15 percent of its g.d.p. now with this and by and portugal of course is not the only country other countries surrounding the mediterranean where many travelers go to at this time of year across the continent and beyond they're all really suffering the effects of this particularly spain as well as the cautious amounts of warnings that have been from other governments as well because of the spikes especially in the regions of catalonia and are gone but for portugal which has made

a huge effort in really gearing up its tourism trade this is nothing short of a disaster for its economy and even though the government has said they hope to try and recruit some of those losses sometime next year in reality it will be a few years until it's able to get those numbers back again as it was before the pandemic adrian deserves some you're going to go reporting live from london something many thanks dude. the philippines has reported more than $3200.00 new corona virus infections pushing it close to overtaking indonesia as the worst hit country in southeast asia tough restrictions are already being reimposed in and around manila after infections jumped to more than 100000 after serious challenge dogon reports over health care workers be leaving early. as we take care of patients a distress call with a clear message thousands of filipino health workers are appealing to the

government to impose tighter controls saying the country is losing the fight against the coronavirus. they're going to hold it hold the line for much longer health care workers should not bear the burden of the saving lives in the days of the sea understand. it is what they really are. more than 5000 new infections were recorded on sunday the largest single to increase since the 1st case was recorded months ago the number of recorded cases is now over 100000 the 2nd highest number of coronavirus infections in southeast asia after indonesia. the philippines government has already implemented one of the most stringent lockdowns in the world more than 50000000 people were forced to stay at home in the entire region of luzon for more than 2 months it began easing

restrictions in march hoping to soften the impact of the country's economy now in one of its worst periods of recession in recent years millions of filipinos have lost their jobs since the pandemic broke out. i fully understand why your health workers would like to ask for such a 3 month period they have been in front lines for months and they're exhausted next time you can ask for on the weekends. and ask for a revolution if you want that evolution no let's kill all those with gold that that means metro manila and some nearby provinces will face further measures not a lockdown at least for now critics say over the months long so it's all locked down how slow down corona virus infections it was also a missed opportunity they see the government be able to conduct widespread tests there would that we have seen hotspots early on that the government should also

start to reassess its priorities in the coming months the country has long struggled with an adequate resources and health experts are warning that this pandemic may bring the public health system closer to collapse. the financial security of millions of americans is hanging in the balance as politicians debate further relief for the unemployed for around the last 3 months a $600.00 weekly payment has been a lifeline for people who've lost their jobs democrats and republicans have so far failed to agree on how the program should continue after it expired on friday live out of washington a white house correspondent kelly how good is that for us kimberly where things stand then today as far as these negotiations are concerned. well they're talking the treasury secretary steve minutia in the ad the chief of staff from here at the white house up on capitol hill talking with the top democrat in the house of representatives as well as the senate but the 2 sides still seem very far apart

u.s. president dollars from speaking from the cabinet room in the last couple of hours talked about where he sees the sticking points he says that's the issue of the price tag of this bailout essentially he believes that what democrats are asking for goes too far that they're asking for money for state and local governments in his view many that he believes have been mismanaged and are looking at this coronavirus aid relief as a way to prop up governments that he says have been financially mismanaged including portland and chicago which we should point out are democrat run now as the democrats for their part say that they had a package 2 months ago and republicans took too long to discuss it so the 2 sides really are doing a lot of talking nobody is doing any listening and the timelines of problem as you mentioned the 6 $100.00 paychecks have expired and there's nothing in the works to

replace it as of right now with just about 3 months now until polling day what does the president have to say about all of this. well he has been talking on twitter as well quite a few tweets and particularly when it comes to these bailouts he's pushing back talking about the rising number of cases in the united states some 4600000 americans have tested positive almost 155000 people have died and the u.s. president is blaming the media for the coverage is also in this one tweet blaming the tustin the reason the numbers are high he says is because of big testing then he also says open the schools which is something that many americans don't want in fact there has been some pushback on twitter with regard to that at one point the president's son baron's name was tweeting the essence of the messages from so many americans was if you want to open the schools you send your kid to school we don't really want to do that do the same white house correspondent kimberly how could

casualties kate clock is the co-director of the afghanistan analysts network a policy research think tank she says this year the situation in afghanistan has become more complex. the war is actually becoming more difficult to read and we had the agreement between the united states and the taliban right at the end of february which the on the back of that the u.s. withdrew thousands of its troops it said that the taliban had also agreed to a reduction of violence the taliban said no absolutely not we've only agreed not to attack u.s. forces and not to attack him in major cities in bases now sits and the taliban have really been probing to see how much violence they can get away with without drawing the us military back into the war and we know that both the taliban and the government have been under claiming attacks whereas before they would probably be

exaggerating what they were doing on the battlefield now they're then they're not claiming so many so it's actually quite difficult to read who is responsible for what anymore and we've also had an a surge an unclaimed attacks or attacks that are difficult to pin down lebanon's foreign minister has resigned saying that the country is at risk of turning into a failed state. is the 1st cabinet minister to step down since the start of a growing economic crisis which has pushed lebanon to the brink of bankruptcy he's been replaced by presidential advisor trouble will be. harder reports now from beirut. the foreign minister's resignation is being seen as a blow to prime minister has been his government he's been trying really to gain credibility and legitimacy at home and abroad since taking office in january but he has largely failed to do so the prime minister made many many promises like to fight corruption to fix the economic situation nothing has changed in fact the

down for long periods of time and got the virus completely under control were able to reopen. in the united states and the other hand we had a very poor as an ineffective shutdown doctors out to the leading expert in us has estimated only about half of it was about 50 percent effective it just did not do the job and they opened up too fast and as a result we've gotten a huge outbreak of new infections and economy is suffering but complete lockdown is a disastrous they for for economies in any country what about localized lockdown just perhaps that the future. cases appear in certain areas then then you shut down just just a little parts of the country and therefore small parts of the economy i think it depends on the circumstances for example we see presently in australia as you can victoria they're shut down just the state of new toy or they have. a an outbreak

but again we had to put this into perspective i think they had 600 cases a day and in victoria in the united states in one state of florida we're having 15000 new cases every day so the scale of the problem is much larger in the united states. but certainly going forward as we get the virus under control. rolling lockdowns humblie be the best answer to minimize the harm to the economy in terms of the way in which the world trains will things ever be the same again. i don't think the world will be the same after the coronavirus i think the trade had already reached peak in 2009 terry's a share of total world g.d.p. it's flattened out there after i think we could even see a decline going forward as countries put more emphasis on sourcing supplies

and critical materials like medical equipment and other products domestically and are going to pull back supply chains i think around the world and so it was really dug in in globalization going forward i think it's not that we won't trade is will trade differently and perhaps more conservatively we have in the past as countries turn to domestic production and sourcing how long is it likely to take do you think before we see some sort of a an economic recovery in the so much of the so many parts of the world now heading into into recession even though the world is going to be trading differently as you say there will come an economic recovery but how long is that going to take. i'm afraid it's going to take a long time even though the united states which which is one of the most well positioned countries because we can borrow you know on currency the u.s.

congressional budget office has estimated that that that that level of unemployment will remain elevated for as long as 10 years going into the future and that's assuming i think possibly that will get the virus under control quickly we don't know the debts going to be the case. however historically we know going back to the 1918 pandemic in the united states around the world which killed millions and millions of people worldwide. the federal reserve has done a study showing that those cities that lot down most effectively suffered the least economic harm those that opened up too soon suffered for long and harm as a result of. a deeper problem with the with the a pandemic so. again the recovery depends on controlling the virus really gets talked many thanks indeed for being with us thank you. the

get the 1st sign language cafe in north macedonia as opened its doors in the capital scope it's up to the business venture what inspired thousands of other

people with disabilities in the country who. struggle to get to work or struggle to get work rather than rely heavily on the state for help out a serious car a leg reports. martin and red mill a long wanted to start their own business and after meeting others like them with hearing in speech impediments while traveling abroad they came up with an idea a cafe that welcomes and caters to such people along with other customers yes. during my time abroad i saw many ideas and then that many different people have started their own businesses this gave us an idea to do the same. they received a state grant to help them and after months of preparation were about to open the cafe in march but then the coronavirus pandemic broke out not in the hardest thing was finding an interpreter that was the most difficult as time went by we thought we were going to make it the bank requires you to have an account but the law on

the word some changes which was a shock for us we somehow managed to find an interpreter but the problem was how to pay him martin and i were struggling to make our own living we could not paid interpretation services. but the pair overcame the challenges and hope their success can be an example to others customers can use the digital menu to make orders and also learn sign language they and government officials hope they can help change people's attitudes to those with disabilities and show others they don't need state aid to start their own business. they don't like when the aim is to remain the law in this regard so this is many people with disabilities as possible can join the open market rather than the protected one we have to raise awareness and consider people with disabilities as equal to all of the workers in the country for now sign language is only used for ordering beverages but the couple intends to supplement that offer very soon with food car or leg al-jazeera.

time for sport this summer thank you very much adrian well on top of being a hollywood superstar in progress the train johnson also known as the rock is now the owner of an american football league the former champion has bought the excess fella for $15000000.00 together an investment firm red capital and his ex-wife that you are seeing they swooped in to make the purchase just hours before the bankrupt league was about to be auctioned having made a promising start the x f l i had to close its doors area this year mathieson because of the global pandemic is the league's 2nd coming at the world himself featured on its initial unsuccessful one in 2001 or joins us now from seattle's usa today's n.f.l. editor doug for our 1st of all it doug i would like to think your wife for letting you do the interview during your honeymoon i really fishy that. yeah.

got to put it well the boss and she was ok with it i'm glad well 1st of all not many people of very familiar with the excess fell to it for it to be associated with an a list star do you think it's a huge boost for them. well i think it's a boost in number of ways you've got the name recognition that doing johnson has dwayne johnson has been heavily involved in football for a long time he played defensive line for the miami college football team and was injured was replaced by warren sapp who is now in the pro football hall of fame so before he was a wrestler he was a high ticket college football player who played in the c.f.l. for a while then get into wrestling obviously post wrestling he's learned how to brand everything so you got a guy in doing johnson and his partner to nigger c.-a who know how to bring things to social media to television to movies to streaming they've branded all sorts of

things then you bring in red bird capital which isn't one but the yes network which is the 'd new york yankees television network they have partnered with the n.f.l. to do these you know you paid thousands of dollars to sit in a special box the super bowl or the n.c.a.a. championship and stuff like that. drain johnson has a net worth of over 300000000 raburn capital right now has assets under management of 4bb with a b. so it's not mean this is vince mcmahon who tried to start the x f l entry recess and say that he had enough 2 i think assets under management or enough capital to sort of push it forward the difference with dwayne johnson and rehberg capital is you've got organizations of people who not only are able to take an initial loss and look at the long term view which is essential for any sports league that's starting out but you also have companies that are interested in and have a really tacit understanding of how to brand things on multiple platforms and make

people interested in having think of it it's vital that yes a today's n.f.l. editor that far thank you very much for that. well after his last thing almost 5 months the tennis is making its official return the palomar open is the 1st 2 events at places since the coronavirus lockdown and the richardson robles . the palermo open is normally a low key event but this year it has global significance it marks the official return of professional tennis after coronavirus forced the suspension of both the men's and women's tools in march so strict health protocols are in place one unnamed player did test positive for kobe 19 with competitors being tested regularly before and after their arrival in italy and while limited numbers of spectators all being allowed in players can have just one member of their support

team with them inside the venue i mean it feels pretty safe we have a mark mask on i'm relieved when they leave the hotel room i mean it's pretty safe to be in the room to take it take away some food to get some room service but also coaching will be different. but i mean it's up to the players also to figure out. thanks time to kind of just story figure out everything you need to do so i'm going to her i think it's necessary i think we all need to do something that makes us makes us feel safe not all players are as keen to travel at this time wimbledon champion simona halep decided not to make the trip to poland and world number one ashley barty made an early decision to pull out of the u.s. open the year's 2nd grand slam tournament is due to start at the end of this month behind closed doors. her compare treatment curiosus also withdrawn from the event

due to health concerns and even those who are committed to playing in new york except the risks are involved. i was thinking maybe of maybe trying to travel somewhere before i'm to get. weather training but then it's like then you're increasing your risk of potentially you know catching a virus which then means. essentially can't train or travel for a couple of weeks it doesn't. like playing a grand slam and. the global nature of the tennis calendar and its players has traditionally been a strength right now it looks to be sweetness and the richardson al-jazeera lawyers representing football's governing body 1st say the criminal investigation into the president john infant you know is unfair and grotesque a case that has been opened i guess in france you know in switzerland over secret meetings that he had with the country's attorney general michael over well over had
