Its been disorienting everybody is suffering on a lot of levels people are afraid people are anxious their own distress everywhere they turn normally you go home for solace you go home for peace.

President trump of course is going to claim credit for the deal but actually its really not clear that he was a major factor the major thing that he tried to do was to bring mexico to the table but mexico held firm and refused to be a part of it and so in fact this deal was largely done between saudi arabia and russia and President Trump is doing what President Trump does which is to try to claim credit for a large portion of the planets population is now living on lockdown to many the worst part of the crisis is being cut off from the people they love sunday go has some of their stories. Life under lockdown silence and isolation and for many in this pandemic there is the anguish of being forcibly separated from loved ones all over the world families have been wrenched a pot some because of the devastation effects of the disease.

Both of them were arranging travel documents for their son when the lockdown struck it was really heartbreaking because yeah after spending so long trying to have a child for my husband to not be able to be together was devastating. And you know if i learn lee because of the baby i was up at isolating so we were we were just in a little apartment together marooned for weeks in a state of uncertainty they eventually managed to get the documentation they needed and most importantly a flight back home stopping over in germany 1st or over before the family was finally reunited if england. Realized conny was diagnosed with coded 19 last in hospital for a preplanned procedure she enjoyed the virus and have fears without her loved ones around able to comfort her im not allowed any visits. A car seat because i dont have anywhere so i dont really have a conversation with my family and i cant see them either so that was the hardest part was. Well shes isolated in this room and you know i didnt have anyone near me when it was one of those moments where you need someone the most the doctors and the nurses were excellent they communicated with me even if i could it could indicate that. They kept me at ease as much as they could and and its also you know you do see people going home as well you see elderly going around this while it and you just in those moments like thats what you have to take you have to take the positive oh man oh they were up stairs maybe and she did ria still needs to isolate from her husband for a bit longer. Really dinner is ready but now at last he can be there for. His support in a time of need sunny i egle aljazeera london so ive come here on aljazeera we look at the impact of the corona virus and how thats going to back down and to just communities in malaysia.

Well its all just Oil Producers have agreed to the biggest production history the demand for oil has plummeted to the crown of ours Crisis Response saudi arabia russia and several of the Oil Producing nations made a deal to reduce production by nearly 10000000 barrels a day from may and june. In malaysia government restrictions on peoples movements are affecting the lives of Indigenous People many farmers in all able to sell their produce while others like day laborers are out of work the government has promised help but Rights Groups say that not everyone will receive 8 foreign story reports. Keep out the signs say indigenous communities in the laser have set up roadblocks preventing outsiders from entering their villages these are photos and videos we obtained from the center for our concerns a local Nongovernmental Organization that works for Indigenous People. Which means original people in the main language are more vulnerable to disease like the krona virus because of poverty and malnutrition. Like ameena think so now its safer to return to the forest many indigenous communities live in remote areas with no access to Running Water and electricity. And as malaysias tough restrictions on movement continue these communities face additional crotchets many only enough to live on and have little savings i needed my income is mostly from women grass i have lots of plants around my house its not a steady income i mike around 90. 00 to 100. 00 a month. But farmers have no means to get to the markets and have not been able to sell the produce. I can so in now my produce now eliminate. Chimeric economy so prince which used to be my main produce the government has promised assistance to poor communities while the restriction order is in place the director general of the department of development told al jazeera that the agency has applied for and imagines he ground to help those in need but the center for our concerns says not old villages are officially registered with the agency and those which are not will likely be left out the n. G. O. S one of several that are now raising funds for indigenous communities the donations are paid to local Community Coordinators to purchase food which is then distributed to the villages its not a perfect system but its one way to ensure that aid reaches those who need it most Florence Louis aljazeera. As the pandemic continues to spread affecting millions of lives and the Global Economy governments around the world in trying to find ways to slow the spread many have turned to digital tracking initiatives to help the monitor where people go and who they interact with this includes the use of the cation doll service also socalled Contact Tracing apps that assist Health Officials to monitor the transmission of the virus however the major downside in using such technology is the potential for massive breaches of privacy if abuse role dosser could be stored and used by governments well after the pandemic is over. Lets pick now to tell whos in new york she is the codirector of the liberty and National Security program at the Brennan Center for justice at New York University thank your time 1st off what are your thoughts on the use of technology for Contact Tracing. So i think there is. You know one has to 1st start with the proposition that the technology is not going to be a Silver Bullet for contact saying most of the technologies that people are looking at right now may not be suitable for the kind of Contact Trace you need to take Location Information for example which many people have proposed and some governments are trying to use it is not precise enough to identify individuals who are who are doing your proximity and so people are now turning for example to focus on proximity rather than location so the difference being you know the ad was not tracing where i am but is figuring out who im close to using a bluetooth signal Location Tracking generally relies on cell phone towers and g. P. S. Which is less accurate so look when you turn to proximity tracking that has some potential for you know being able to identify people who are who you are proximate to but may not be able to identify how long youre proximate to them and where theyre art for example if youre in an Apartment Building right you could be you know within 6 feet of somebody but they could be across a lot from you so its not exactly the same kind of proximity that were concerned about when were looking at Contact Tracing so i think as an initial matter what really has to look very carefully at whether or not the technology thats being proposed is actually going to help us with Contact Tracing so then thats why and you know major set of issues that we have to deal with is there anything that is being proposed right now what you think does have potential you talked about bluetooth being used i know apple and google have announced a system that may be rolled out there are various cryptographers working on ways to create. A context tracing without specific location das a big given to governments is it anything out there right now which is promising in your opinion. Yeah i mean if theres a number of things that are out there promising obviously the google akhil partnership that was or an ass of the end of last week seems promising theyve been very sensitive to 2 privacy issues you know the data is stored on your phone for the most part there are ways that they are making sure that its d. N. R. Am i so that a coffee re anonymous so theres actually you know potential over there but even with that. A would have to oppose all you know theyre planning to release the a. P. I. In the middle of may and theyre hoping that people will develop apps and can be run that youre looking at you know some period of time before even Something Like the google Apple Partnership will be online and you also have to contend with issues around adoption so even in singapore we saw relatively low rates of adoption in the United States where you know even staying home waters have become a partisan bickering point its easy to imagine that there will be a lot of people who wont want to actually download these apps and the 2nd thing to keep in mind is a different populations may or may not have a smartphone apps so lucky lucians that are older who are most vulnerable to code that 19 are less likely to use smart cards and younger compilations theres some discrepancies based on income level obviously so those are those kinds of issues that you have to contend with as well but i think the other piece that the sort of privacy piece of it is that you know the data is often called anonymized and it turns out that theres a way to d. N. R. And buys it and that does raise concerns that once that information is collected its going to get into the hands of government and and there you know something that starts up as a voluntary scheme is going to become mandatory where there thank you for your time there is a tell life from new york thank you. For the 1st time in nearly 100 years easter mass in jerusalem has been celebrated without a congregation tens of thousands of christians from around the world would usually visit the city around this time of year but its now in the lockdown are false reports.
