Measures. We visit a live wild animal market in indonesia once popular now theyre under scrutiny after the virus was linked to one in china. A blow to the fight against on the groups in the sahara region chad announces plans to stop military operations outside the country. A glimmer of hope the corona virus infections may be starting to slow in some of the hardest hit countries the daily numbers of deaths in spain and italy have been coming down from more than a week but the World Health Organization says no one should be complacent agencies warning countries not to ease restrictions which have put half the worlds population under control. I know that some countries are already planning the transition out of stay out homeless 3 questions w. H. O. Wants to see distractions lifted as much as anyone i descend time lifting restrictions too quickly could lead to a deadly resurgence the way down can be as dangerous as the way up if not money properly more than 1600000 people have been infected since the outbreak was detected in china late last year and europe accounts for more than half of global cases the us is the current hotspot it has the most infections in the world with more than 500900 spite that President Trump says he hopes the curve there could be flattening were seeing hospital admissions declining very substantially as i said a nationwide the number of new cases per day is flattening substantially suggesting that were near the peak and comprehensive strategy is working overtime or guidelines to slow the spread or decreasing the rate of new cases very substantially and will result in fewer hospital admissions and were seeing that its. Incredible i think with with no exceptions its looking like its low. But u. S. Health experts are calling for caution there warning that are likely to be more cases once restrictions are east it was starting to see the leveling off in the coming down dr burke said mentioned but its important to remember that this is not the time to feel that since we have made such important advance in the sense of success of the mitigation that we need to be pulling back at all. Well the u. S. Has become the 1st country to have more than 2000 deaths in one day but its president believes the death toll well below or than what experts are predicting john hendren has this update from chicago he cant pushing to open the economy in his words very very soon and by open i mean end of the restrictions that require people to stay home and begin allowing those businesses the nonessential businesses to reopen throughout the United States he said that on a day in which the death toll worldwide crossed 100000 he said he hopes to keep the u. S. Death toll below that number and hes talking about numbers like 5265000 dead ideally in his words those are horrific numbers more than all of the americans who have died in all of the wars since the since korea in the 1950 s. However it would be much less than the 2200000 eat pointed out who would have died in the u. S. According to forecasts had the us done nothing however medical experts have been pushing back on that the president insisted he will listen to his medical experts he was roundly criticized a few weeks ago for saying that he would like to open the economy back up by easter that would be this weekend clearly the United States is not ready for that those numbers continue to go up but while Everyone Wants those numbers to go down the president has an additional reason and that is that his popularity seems to taken a significant hit. The death toll in brazil from corona virus has passed the 1000 mark its the hardest hit latin American Country but despite this president jetta both sonata remains defiant and is pushing back against social isolation measures during the National Holiday on friday he visited a hospital and met supporters in the pasta bowl sonata has compared covered 19 virus to a small flu and maintains the economy and jobs must prevail in neighboring argentina the governments tightening its measures to stop the spread of the virus to reserve bo is joining us from buenos aires in argentina lets talk about argentina 1st of all to reason that the president has been holding a press conference whats he been saying. Well thats correct reference a lot of the phone numbers wants to make sure that hes following the World Health Organizations recall mendacious argentinas quarantine will remain in place until april 26th the president said that its very very important to try to stop the spread of the virus in argentina so that this countrys Health Care System public Health Care System can be ready to cope with whats coming next it is expected that they feet of the virus here could be happening around mid may and thats why the president is trying to gain time argentina was one of the 1st countries in latin america to impose a very restrictive lockdown 1st it began with those who are arriving from europe from the United States from china and asking people to remain in their homes with the Police Controlling them and i have to that they move towards a complete lockdown with Security Forces on the streets over 38000 people have been exchanged for not respecting the Current Situation on the ground but the president in spite of the situation the president has extend that the quarantine and what hes saying is that hes prioritizing life over the economy lets not forget about whats happening in argentina this is not a regular situation theres an Enormous Economic crisis in this country there is a double digit inflation an enormous recession an employment poverty rates on the rice and thats why whats happening right now this knockdown its having a big impact on peoples life in spite of this the precedent set today that he wont abandon that the state wont abandon arjan times that they wont abandon companies and that theyll be accompanying and supporting we have already seen some movements from argentinean government in cash handouts other things in support for Small Businesses but theres also a lot of fear about whats coming next the possibility of hyperinflation and other situations that argentina has seen and the price. That people here i am very very afraid of is a very different situation of course in brazil as we were mentioning of course president served both so not a very putting the economy 1st and in many ways ignoring the kind of suggestions that he put forward for social isolation that the w. H. O. Has been putting forward given the fact that the numbers are going up in brazil do you think theres any chance that his attitude might begin to change when it seems saying likely this friday he was seen again leaving the president ial palace and going to a hospital in about a bad round he went inside a bakery started mingling with people hugging them taking pictures among other things he was not wearing a mask and he was not definitely respecting space or social isolation so the World Health Organizations i recall mandates as we know what joey was for not who has been saying he said that the economy should be a play a very very Important Role in the fight against coronavirus that it should not be abandoned he has opposed downs in major studios in brazil so we know that that he staged this have in a way put him in a very strong drastic confrontations with the governors of for example of rio they join nato that have imposed knockdowns in their city he called them criminal lockdowns because he did not defend not believe that big sur are positive that they have a big impact on peoples lives on peoples jobs among other things we also know that theres been this big confrontation not only with the World Health Organization but also with his Health Minister who also recommends knockdowns he had threatened to fire him in the past but we know sources in brazil tell us that a very high members of within the military have stopped him from doing so by supplying a sub today to this abode lifeless and bonuses. The pandemic has put the spotlight on asias wet markets and the risks they may pose to global Public Health scientists believe the latest corona Virus Outbreak started in a market in the chinese city over. Let me give you a warning some viewers may find images in this report disturbing from jakarta is jessica washington before his customers arrive pallas ponto spends the morning preparing his most popular dish its called a traditional best meat curry popular in some parts of indonesia hes followed this recipe for decades but the recent outbreak of covert 19 has got him worried so the beginning of a ive been reading the news about this virus i wonder is it the same type of bat that we use ive never worried about disease until now maybe it has to do with how we prepare the meat. The trade of live wild animals for food medicine clothing and more has gone on for years but as the world grapples with the outbreak of coma 19 the risk it poses to Public Health is now under scrutiny. Its believed the virus most likely emerged from this market in ruhani probably involving dance but also possibly other animals such as penguins. The market in rouhani is still closed and the beijing government has issued a temporary ban on similar live wildlife markets elsewhere in china but there are many similar markets around asia trading wild animals like this one in indonesia north so the way i see province thats snakes and other wildlife as well as dogs and cats are all sold here and live in cages stacked on top of each other. When you have different animals in such close contact it is possible for cross species infections to happen other diseases can also be transferred between species and then infect a human. Ending the exotic wildlife trade completely is almost impossible many peoples livelihoods depend on it and the trade goes on in many corners of the world Animal Rights activists say Wildlife Conservation isnt just about saving animals lives but humans too. People have exploited nature and wildlife they catch them from spaces where they should be free when you combine that with poor hygiene markets it is a risk a lot is still unknown about this virus and exactly how it began but what is clear is that this isnt just a Global Health crisis but an environmental one too jessica washington aljazeera jakarta chads president says his countrys troops will no longer take part in military operations outside National Borders in announcement comes as the army ended a major offensive against boko haram which left more than 50 soldiers dead Nicholas Hoch has more from neighboring senegal.

And the nigerians troop inability to tackle boko haram in the region china is the 2nd largest contributor in troops in the Un Peacekeeping stabilizing force in mali where armed groups such as al qaeda affiliates. And islam extend in the greater sahara are stepping up their operation and so the country in the sahara region is at a Tipping Point france is struggling it has launched several aerial operation 83. 00 in the last week to try to stem the violence but the announcement that china is pulling out its troops doesnt bode well for the for the region and there is fear that there could be more violence as charging troops return home.

The worlds top Oil Producing nations have agreed on the need to stabilize the price of oil which has been hit by the coronavirus Pandemic Energy ministers of the worlds 20. 00 largest economies discuss the deal by Video Conference it follows thursdays agreement by the oil cartel opec and its allies to cut Global Production by 10 percent but the pact was stalled after mexico failed to agree to its share of cuts President Donald Trump has since said the u. S. Will further reduce its route to help mexico jeff colgan is a professor of Political Science at Brown University and hes author of petro aggression when Oil Causes War he says its unrealistic to believe the opec deal will stabilize the oil markets over night. Oil markets have actually fallen on news of the deal as opposed to rising as opec plus had hoped that it would happen they were looking for a boost of up to 15. 00 a barrel and in fact prices are going into reverse and thats striking because i think theres really 2 things that are happening because of whats happening here one is that while the deal does contain some substantive cuts most of whats being announced are socalled market cuts meaning that these are the kinds of things are going to happen deal or no deal these are decisions made by individual producers reacting to the change in Market Conditions that are you know ramping down because of Lower Oil Prices so in some sense that this is more hype than real substance and the 2nd thing that matters for the prices is the fact that there is a can persistent overhang in supply so the expected shortfall in demand over the next 2 months is Something Like 25. 00 to 30000000. 00 barrels a day and this deal is 10. 00 to 15000000. 00 barrels a day so it only goes part of the way to addressing that massive demand shock work and continuing to see oversupply and thats going to drive prices likely downwards as inventory continue to build it is significant in the sense that saudi arabia and a few of the gulf monarchies are changing their strategy to certain degree but much of whats happening here as i said is market cut this is going to happen anyway especially in the United States. Tensions between poland and russia are rising ahead of events planned to mark the end of world war 2 warsaw is accusing moscow of trying to rewrite history as it remembers the thousands of polish officers murdered by soviet secret police 80 years ago said vassell reports from the cotton forest where the massacre took place. In this russian forest mass graves filled with bodies of polish officers were discovered in 1943 now a memorial site it shows the truth soviet leader Joseph Stalin always denied he blamed what is known as the cut the massacre on hitlers troops only after the collapse of the soviet union did russia acknowledge the estimated 22000. 00 executions were carried out by Stalin Secret police. But leading up to the 80th anniversary of the massacre statements on russian state t. V. Have again started to question this was an angry response from poland. And local activists have also demanded the removal of memorial plaques remembering the polish victims no one is allowed to tell untrue things about history and we will prove one by one moment in the mountains or other things but do you say to poland when they say you are rewriting history and changing the fact we. Disagree with it because we dont rewrite anything 80 years after the cutting massacre it still causes controversy between russia and poland russia is preparing to celebrate the 75th anniversary of its victory in world war 2 but a government is being accused of changing historical facts by promoting a narrative that always is dark truth and critics say president putin is not only angering his neighbors but is also turning back the clock on recounts alleviation when the European Parliament last year stated that the soviet union was asking the as nazi germany for starting the 2nd world war president putin responded with anger he blamed poland instead accusing the polish impasses or to nazi germany of being anti semitic. This is not a question to us this is the question to them why are they doing it what do they created for what does poland have when it advances a thesis that reportedly the us is or was equally good. Installing the 2nd world war but this is absurd we didnt asked me to 27000000 deaths the soviet union lost more people during world war 2 than any other nation the defeat of the ninetys in 1945 is commemorated every year with a parade in moscow thread square but some say put ins obsession with the history of world war 2 has everything to do with modern day politics. Russia doesnt have anything else to offer a total failure in economy social policy stagnation and destruction of our National Culture therefore the only thing possible is to use some myths about outstanding achievements from the past beginning of course about the price that was paid who started it how the leadership acted and they acted awfully the russian government has not officially changed its conclusion that stalin was responsible for the captain massacre but sources have told our jazeera they believe that without the support of top officials attempts to rewrite this dark chapter would not have been possible to stop fast and aljazeera from the captain forrest pope francis has marked the start of easter with a late night ceremony in st Peters Square usually thousands gather to watch the way of the cross procession traditionally held rooms coliseum but this year it was really cater to the vatican and live streamed because of italys strict covered 19 restrictions it was one of many easter settlement is to be reorganized because of coronavirus. Good friday service has been held in paris and cathedral nearly a year after it was devastated by a fire with a french capital under lockdown only a handful of people attended the ceremony the tasha butter reports. The sound of a violin echoed around not to damn the musician dressed in protective clothing because the cathedral isnt really safe after the fire ravaged it a year ago. The archbishop of paris led a good friday ceremony kneeling at an ancient representation of a crown of thorns that had been rescued by firefighters with frogs in lockdown because of the Coronavirus Crisis only 7 people were allowed to attend. In the sun usual time we ask you god for all those who are victims of this terrible illness those who are grieving those who have dedicated themselves to hope love each other. The ceremony offered an opportunity for a rare glimpse inside not a dam since renovation work began last year the fire destroyed its roof spire and some of its intricate stained glass windows the site of the medieval and got explained to inflames shocked people around the world nearly 1000000000. 00 in donations has so far been pledged to restore the cathedral but under the french governments coronavirus restrictions rebuilding work has been halted. d the construction site was closed indefinitely at the beginning of the confinement like most of the construction sites in the country public authorities made this wise decision churches and other places of worship remain open during the lockdown but the french government is Bound Services and religious gatherings an exception was made for the ceremony not to dam the far not a dam was a moment of National Crisis the brought people together one year on and another crisis is creating a sensor. National solidarity. The catholic thing this easter is clearly unusual obliged to stay indoors because the coronavirus there are many people to attend church will travel to spend time with family and friends for many the ceremony not to be a symbol of hope revival and a moment of contemplation in such difficult times.
