4:08 am
foreign minister put out a strong message for those playing the blame game. facing the pandemic nations should cooperate to bustle a corner virus insulting others opossum responsibility at this moment is not helpful to the epidemic control of any individual nation or the joint efforts of the international communities to curb the spread of the virus. now it's not just china disapproving of trump on this one the world health organization has asked donald trump to cut it out viruses no new borders and they don't care about your ethnicity the color of your skin or how much money you have in the bank so it's really important would be careful in the language we use less did lead to the profiling of individuals associated with the virus now for all those looking to blame china it's worth looking into their vast global efforts to stem the pandemic donating test kits to cambodia and planeloads of masks and ventilators to france

a bully kill innocents cuba and venezuela are both in the early stages of an outbreak now both countries are going to face huge hurdles of crippling us restrictions if the us government is going to assist other countries let's alone provide some kind of leadership role during this global crisis the 1st thing it should do is cause new home economic sanctions as the u.s. is applying against iran cuba venezuela and other. trees cause amends to state the obvious the virus does not discriminate we're all in this together so why would anyone want to inflame international tensions or inflict economic damage to nations at a time like this trump as is the national. he is trying he's always trying to drum up hostility to foreign countries especially china these days. makes a point of saying the war and virus or the china chinese virus. the cold night he's definitely trying to use this to draw international stories
4:11 am
china was slow in the beginning and that china a few weeks to get its act together was important emphasize that trump is no one is a no position to be criticizing china because the u.s. 'd response so far has been chaotic haphazard there are no masks there aren't enough hass i think that one sided playing games is not only ridiculous but the worst thing possible in the current atmosphere. in the u.k. the number of those infected with covert 19 a supposed 3000 the death toll has reached almost 150 but its prime minister boris johnson has reassured the public that the u.k. can turn the tide on the virus crisis within 12 weeks the british government asked the public to do a range of things among them stopping unnecessary travel working from home if
4:12 am
possible and also avoiding pubs but some are refusing to comply with the pub ban including none other than the p.m.'s father correspondent shadi edwards daschle went to investigate but the stanley johnson is the only brit refusing to give up social drinking. most brits are treating coronavirus very seriously heeding advice to stay at home avoid social gatherings and avoid travel completely going to. prime minister advised against going to pubs the sound was fine we need people to start working from home where they possibly can and you should avoid pubs clubs theaters and other such social. well london's liquor lovers are waking up to a new hangover free reality but for others if you need a drink you need a drink especially if you played a part in creating the man behind this very strange change of sobering rules when you go to the pubs are not. the problems you think what you think you sounds going
4:13 am
to say like just told you not who he said before going to pubs but if i had to go to a pub i'd go to a bar so the p.m.'s does go to plan for that one but then say use a bring up a storm online some are questioning why the prime minister's very own father is questioning his own coronavirus meshes is he wrong whereas others are saying well actually the situation has been blown up i mean larger than proportion what creates a need for want to go to the park after consulting with my father stanley johnson we are updating our coronavirus advice from now on anyone who developed symptoms was head straight for the pub can we stop bringing stanley johnson on to the t.v. he's not an elected official and he's a danger in the current climate. well we tried all day to find a single punter in london but you know there well tonight might be a bit more fruitful at least not at this park because there's no one here and check
4:14 am
out this park right in the heart of london it's wind time there's a clock and not single there in sight and the story is no different in this pub either not exactly having a whale of a time with all of my friends hardly the world's greatest pub crawl but with a general u.k. lockdown looming it seems like pubs like this will be calling all stores anyway though it does seem that started johnson is the last man standing. the democratic primary race is now down to just 2 candidates bernie sanders and joe biden that's after hawaii congresswoman tulsi gabbard dropped out throwing her support behind the former vice president to the merge as the clear front runner now after tuesday's election it's clear that democratic primary voters have chosen vice president joe biden to be the person who will take on president trump in the general election so today i am suspending my presidential campaign and offering my
4:15 am
full support to vice president joe biden in his quest to bring our country together although i may not agree with the vice president on every issue i know that he has a good heart and he's motivated by his love for our country and the american people . shortly after that announcement joe biden thanked god for her support the congresswoman was thrust into the spotlight last year when hillary clinton accused her of being a russian asset rejected the allegations and sued the former secretary of state 38 year old politician and to the race for the democratic ticket in february of last year and was the last woman standing we heard from professor of latin american studies danny sure who says that the primaries are being weighed down by a climate of fear. that he will have to work the most are clearly affected in are afraid to go 'd out in it well and if they have children you know the algal me at home they're doubly afraid so clearly be inside iraq primary is in crisis in
4:16 am
a sense tells the garrard a woman of color who represents a communist people hawaii thing a lot of people had high hopes that she would support bernie sanders who is of course the most critical incident perry was candidate so to see her fall in line with joe biden in command joe biden really is clearly an establishment candidate who represents the continuation of u.s. foreign policy was clearly very disappointing and this is bigger than just a primary this is a movement for universal health care for us foreign policy it is diametrically opposed to what trump and biting and but i mean the ruling class represents so this move is going to continue to fight notches in the electoral renia arena but more importantly historically in the streets of the u.s. . ok pasting without a i'll be back with more news for you after the break. join

welcome back the u.k. government has unveiled a new draft legislation that protects its military personnel and veterans from prosecution for alleged historical offenses in conflicts overseas for decades the men and women of our armed forces have been faced with the prospect of repeated investigations by inquest and police despite the vast majority having acted in accordance with the rule of law and often at great personal risk that is why the government moved today legislate to protect our veterans against repeated re investigations where there is no new and compelling evidence against them and to envy x a shiz claims against our armed forces. well under the new law there would be
4:19 am
a 5 year limit from the date of an incident to bringing prosecution unless there is compelling new evidence and the 6 year limit for any civil case involving personal injury or death beyond the only exceptional circumstances can force new investigations now according to the british ministry of defense operations in iraq resulted in nearly a 1000 compensation claims against personnel for unlawful detention personal injury and death approximately 1400 judicial review claims were seeking investigations and compensation for a variety of alleged human rights violations human rights groups of express their anger so the legislation would place the military above the law and undermine existing international conventions peace campaigner and former soldier kinda says the bill is wrong. we should not arbitrarily place a statute of limitations when people can see sound justice in the event that their
4:20 am
loved ones were murder and or torture and or detained for years and we are constantly learning more and more about how we think about the actions of our military in other countries and during different times and different travels frivolous lawsuits are one thing but to put it all out mark. prosecution ever truly to me does not seem to be that i asked a lot of the experience is better and how that would sound the ground in iraq and afghanistan and credibly incredibly incredibly hard thing incredibly troubling and they never should have been there to begin somewhere. so if isolation hasn't stopped thousands of brazilians from protesting together their own griot president jaya both scenarios and ling of the corona virus outbreak. thank. you thank you

early we discussed the pandemics impact on refugees and people stranded in hotspots with young egland director general of the norwegian refugee council. now would be the time for refugees to be. caught in a safer place than they would be in the refugee camps in crowded conditions in terrible conditions with no possibility for social distancing or hand washing or either or other hygiene measures that can prevent the deceased from spreading my main concern of the 70000000 people who are in disaster zones conflict soames fleeing violence being war one such example is in europe at the mori out camp in greece there are 22000 asylum seekers cry. together in a camp that was built for $3000.00 in it in syria people are
4:23 am
crowded together in hundreds of small displacement camps there is no hospitals we can distance ourselves we can wash our hands and we have a health system to go to they have nothing of that that's where we need to have our attention focused at the moment in my view. right now to how russia is fighting the spread of coronavirus among the measures is the recently rolled out is moving education online auntie's griffin national visited one of russia's top universities to see how it's going. higher school of economics known as a tourist either versity in central moscow thursday known it should be bust in with hundreds of students including international ones with exams just weeks away but not anymore deserted it like many russian universities colleges and schools has now moved online in response to the koran of fret it's
