take any questions from reporters the day before that he suggested people with the virus may be able to be treated with ultraviolet light and disinfectant alarming medical officials he has since claimed his win monts was sarcastic and he wasn't encouraging people to drink bleach. it was an abrupt ending to trump's latest coronavirus briefing after weeks of lengthy daily press conferences with the u.s. president taking center stage journalists were left with a brief statement and many unanswered questions the reason for this sudden change in style might be tied to the outrage caused by trump's recent remarks the claim that injections of disinfectant might help treat the coronavirus supposing 'd we hit somebody with a tremendous whether it's ultraviolet or just very powerful light and i think you said that has

a mic check that you're going to test it and then i said supposing you brought the light inside the body you can which you can do either through the skin or. in some other way and i think you said you can attest to so it was interesting to hear it right and then i see the disinfectant that knocks you out in a minute one minute and is there a way we can do something like that. injection. or almost a cleaning the next day he claims his comments were deliberately misinterpreted by the fake news media he said his remarks had been taken out of context and had been misunderstood. but i was asked to circle it has taken a very sarcastic question to the reporters in the room about disinfectant on the inside but it does kill it and will kill it in their heads and that would make things much better that was done in the form of a sarcastic question to the reporter. political opponents aren't staying on the

sidelines. in this tweet democratic presidential candidate joe biden urge people not to drink bleach. the president's advisers reportedly believe that the overexposure and his inaccurate remarks are causing his approval ratings to drop they want him to reduce his participation in the daily briefings if is readings continue to fall he might not be left with a choice muslims around the world have begun marking the holy month of ramadan normally it's a time for the world's $1800000000.00 muslims to come together in celebration of prayer this year that's impossible next report takes us to egypt where people are balancing unprecedented restrictions with religious observance. few people wear masks when shopping for ramadan sweets and hardly anyone keeps a safe distance many egyptians are still fairly relaxed about the threat of

infection from corona virus but it's a very different story when it comes to the devastating economic effects of the pandemic these volunteers and the minister out here charity are working hard to provide relief every year they distribute staple food packages during ramadan this year they're delivering a lot more because the crisis has forced many egyptians into poverty but it's not only material life that's been affected in the mosques there's no common prayer an unprecedented step in the holy month of ramadan. we recommend observing the protective measures that have been introduced. these are in accordance with sharia law. breaking the daily fast should only happen within the close family gone other times of big feast with friends. has found an alternative to video chat i don't know

let's see how the meet will be during ramadan keep in contact with my friend and after breaking the daily fast i ask how she experienced it despite the restrictions she can celebrate the rituals of ramadan with as many friends as she wants thanks to social media that's not some of the other developments in the pandemic the world health organization says there is currently no evidence that people who have recovered from covert 19 are actually protected from a 2nd corona virus infection the global death row meanwhile has reached almost 200000 according to figures from johns hopkins university more than a quarter of all deaths have occurred in the united states which has the world's highest number of cases and time now for quick look at some of the other stories making headlines today there are new questions over the health of north korean leader kim yong own reuters news agency says doctors have been sent from china to advise on himself south

korean media reported that he's recovering from a heart operation. air france has secured a 7000000000 euro bailout from the french government with most of its planes grounded air france along with its partner airline k l m expect their joint traffic to be down more than 90 percent in the coming months. hundreds of people have gathered in the heart of perlin for a demonstration despite restrictions on public gatherings in the city due to covert 90 demonstration has brought together a collection of protesters and the theorists from across the political spectrum they oppose the coronavirus was special and feel they violate their basic rights it's the 4th such demonstrations in concept weeks. and joining me now from that anti lockdown protest here in berlin is our political

correspondent and young son and as we can see there you are with the protesters what's happening tell us what what have you been seeing that. yeah this is a central square behind me the folks spoon theater which are often draws demonstrations. at this time of year particularly the 1st of maize a big demonstrating season here in berlin but today the people have come i think they're united only in the sense that they all are unhappy about the strict lockdown regulations that still apply here and they want to let the authorities know that now that's difficult at the moment because the rules here in berlin say they gatherings of more than 2 people who are not from the same household are banned so the police are here in large numbers trying to prevent this happening i should say at the moment is relatively peaceful scene people sort of meditating

sitting quietly playing guitar some just holding up their placards and giving interviews to journalists who are here so it's a relatively peaceful atmosphere but violence is a possibility we've seen police in riot gear and there's a large counter demonstration in the street not just just out of shot of left wing protesters who say that their hind the. a demonstration you can see behind me are essentially right wing fascist groups that they want to protest against as well as protesting against the lockdown so how big of a movement is this anti lock down. or this week i think there are fewer people than there have been in recent weeks this kind of demonstration has been happening here for the last 3 or 4 weeks the

last time there are about 500 people here i think fewer people have been able to get here this time because the police has beefed up its presence it's closed all the streets around here i should say that there are 2 or 300 knots i mentioned a large counter-demonstration there's also form the police are at slightly at a loss to know what to do they're asking people to remember the rules and to indeed break up the demonstration but at the same time so far they haven't been intervening beyond as i say blocking the streets and taking one or 2 people away probably for questioning just take down their details so at the moment the police are playing a waiting game but we'll see if they think it's necessary to actually stop people demonstrating it all. on the anti lock down protests here in berlin thank you. pandemic is a lot to worry about when you're a kid but if that isn't enough to turn your world upside down spare a thought for

a boy in australia actually named corona he used to love it until bullies started making fun of it but a new friend has helped him to bounce that the kids at school have been cruel to corona. who're. but corona reached out for help from the actor he knew as the voice of woody from toy story tom hanks and his wife rita wilson were quarantined in australia last month after testing positive for coated 19. this is my name is crow not a head on the knees. and you know why it has caught the crimes are a serious. and hanks sent corona a letter in return over them i don't think was an understatement. it was a static yes there is special because i always feel like i'm famous he said i'm
