Already living in miserable conditions now the pandemics causing more problems for yemenis displaced by war also becoming a mass that were talking about is that theres a whole me. And we get advice from a doctor on how to stitch together your own protection during this pandemic. The weather so on the news we begin in the United States where another 5200000 people have lost their jobs in the past week and that means at least 22000000 have been made jobless and acclaiming in less than a month as a result of the coronavirus pandemic in a few hours time President Donald Trump is expected to release guidelines on how and when to reopen some u. S. States but in the meantime hourly workers are especially worried about how theyll pay the bills natasha has more from chicago. If there was ever a boom time in the chicago neighborhood no one living here now remembers it a covert 1000 pound demick has shattered the already precarious lives of the many hourly workers in West Humboldt Park im scared scared more of a circus or not i dont know whats going to happen next i dont know what my next move is going to be less than 2 weeks ago jose mantion was operating a forklift and trying to save for an emergency now a global coronavirus emergency has arrived and like millions of people hes been furloughed indefinitely.

U. V. S arrives with a drop in crime city wide the officers loaded boxes of nonperishable food into their vehicles to deliver to the elderly and disabled its yet another way the community is responding to the coronavirus pandemic to ensure those overburdened by economic struggles are not forgotten. The talks are going to. Chicago. Im joined by Laurence Kotlikoff via skype hes a professor of economics at Boston University good to have you with us live on aljazeera said donald trump is determined that the economy will bounce back but looking at todays job list figures that doesnt reflect the hope that he has. Now i think he is in continues to be in living in his fantasy land or fantasy world so we have about trying to a 1000000 people now im unemployed my guess is that that could go to 30000000 in another month or so. Were likely to see. This quarter. Being Something Like 35 percent below its peak so were talking numbers which we have which are surpassing what we saw in the Great Depression by a considerable margin and we saw in the Great Depression alcoa dropped by 26 percent between 10291933 here were talking about thats a 3 year period. Now where were talking now about out were dropping just in 3 months by 30 by perhaps 40 percent indeed i mean this road user wants. Me to draw the world obviously has changed in the 100 years since the Great Depression of the 1930 s. I wonder what the difference is all similarities might be between then and now what lessons could be learned in the sense that the Business Community will eventually bounce back in some shape or form which ones or which area should we be looking at that will come back slower and will perhaps need a bit more help from central government. Well i think were going to see if this continues for a few more months were going to see massive Small Business medium sized business failures and even Large Businesses i mean think about what Macys Department store which is the classic Department Store in new york huge building they have stores around the country now. You know are going to go go under after if youre 4 months of this and youre going no income. So the big thing is for iraq is going to be require some start up money or investing there is a great difference if i could just jump in that there is a great difference isnt there between a retail store and pharmacy in the midwest to the Aviation Industry they all have different needs and wants from the government and it will be the white house that will have to focus in all what is more important in terms of reinvigorating the American Economy of what will get the most people into work in a very short space of time and so one wonders is it the Aviation Industry is it retail is it manufacturing or is it farming. Well the key to all of these industries reviving whether its this mom 2 or 6 months is that we have to have the government test everybody every day thats really our or our should be our motto our goal in every country around the world test everybody every day and you can do that efficiently by testing people march where you basically pull the swabs together and so you can economize on on tests dramatically so we can start doing this. You know right now in the country if we have the will to do it at the federal level and other countries can do this as well so but i dont know quite know what company is really going to be able to get back on its feet you know industry unless they know that their employees are safe and that they feel safe to go back to work and the customers you know saying to walk into the store walking to the airplane or even to a farm with other farm hands in crops if you know so so it all depends on security and that goes back to testing in date for the moment Laurence Kotlikoff thanks so much for joining us from the university of boston thank you well its also a like you lets go to a White House Correspondent kimberly how of course she mustve heard what you can with us but but how to say that but of course the news the 5200000 of you know what got them to the jobless a statistic says not really what the president wants to hear. Its not the president wants to hear but it was an unexpected in fact we have heard projections are when all of the unemployment claims are filed that it will be double what the number is today the only reason its not there now is because the state systems for processing unemployment claims are antiquated in some cases and they also cant keep up with the flow of claims so weve seen a steady increase for rich weeks now but its been known for some time that the estimates could be as high as 46000000 americans who lost their jobs overnight as a result of social distancing and more bad news is that weve just heard part of that rescue fund that was put in place by congress to try and help ordinary americans specifically Small Businesses so that they could keep people on their payrolls well its run out of money there was 350000000000 dollars set aside to help Small Businesses they knew the funds were running low they went to congress not so long ago asking for an additional 250000000000. 00 the white house requesting of congress that is and it felt it lee failed in terms of legislation the issue being that there wasnt enough money also for state and local agencies as well as hospitals and as a result the legislation failed so this is more bad news for those employers who were hoping for some sort of lifeline to help keep employees on the payroll so expect that number in terms of unemployment claims to continue to rise in the coming weeks so how much of a head on collision complete do you think the president is heading for because he wants to open a business by the beginning of may he seems like a tall order at this moment in time and certainly contradicts what the scientists are saying. Well not just the scientists but the Public Health officials like those on his Coronavirus Task force say you cant do this overnight now we did hear in the white house from a virus taskforce briefing late last evening some indication from at least one of the Public Health officials dr Deborah Burkes that theyre looking at states at least 9 of them who have not really experienced severe coronavirus outbreaks as a result given the low numbers of cases were getting a bit of a hint that those states may get some guidelines coming as early as today in terms of how they may be able to reopen there may also be other guidelines for states that have never really saw a peak in cases for example california Washington State they expected it to be much more like new york that obviously became the epicenter here in the u. S. And that didnt happen so what we know is that the guidelines are not going to be one size fits all but that there may be some push by the u. S. President who is very eager to get this economy reopened because of course as reelection chances hinge on that once again yet as you pointed out its the science that still not there in terms of allowing people to fully feel comfortable theres no sort of vast has to cross the United States theres no Contact Tracing that someplace and until that happens its almost impossible for the u. S. Economy to open all across the board because all White House Correspondent thank you lets head over the atlantic now to the United Kingdom where its expected to announce an extension to its possible lockdown is likely to come in the next hour to prefigure from downing street lets cross over to really challenge whos live for us in london and really the whole town you know potentially is going to continue in the public will have to live with this perhaps new reality a little bit longer. Yeah i think its almost a certainty that the u. K. Will have at least 3 more weeks of these partial lockdown measures the scientists have been saying for several days now that its too early to lift the restrictions the politicians the governments who have been saying for several days now that its too early to lift the restrictions what we dont have yet is official confirmation that this is the policy you can see behind me this is such a high street in on the southern outskirts of london its a pretty typical high street in the u. K. And you can see the effect the lockdown has had pretty much every business behind me every shop has its shutters down in the windows there are these white printed notices saying that its apologising to customers that the business will be closed for the foreseeable future by law the u. K. Is required to review the the lockdown every 3 weeks and thats what we have today this official review of that lockdown period so dominic robb the man who is standing in for Prime Minister Boris Johnson while he waits for his own brush with coded 19 hes been in a series of meetings today and we expect the announcement to come as you said in a in about an hours time when the the the official press conference happens. We expect that he will say that the u. K. Is going to have at least another 3 weeks possibly a lot more another issue that theyll have to tackle is this development that the government will have to respond to about the potential of ethnic minority groups seem to be more affected by covert 19. Yeah this is something that has been looked tatts in the United States as well and it seems that the u. K. Is being exposed to the same reality which is that although black and ethnic minority people make up in the u. K. For some 14 percent of the population in england and wales when it comes to covert 19 they are making up a 3rd of the people who are in intensive care units in the country suffering from the effects of coronavirus so why is that its its one of these problems that is probably baked into the fabric of society. Various suggestions have been put forward like world these communities are on the whole more impoverished than White Communities and therefore theyre susceptible to the kind of Health Conditions Health Problems the courses arties are susceptible to in western societies such as diabetes and heart problems that makes them more vulnerable to cope with 90 they are often workers in the Health Care System and therefore more exposed to kovan 90 and they live in some of the areas of the u. K. Such as london and the midlands which have been hardest hit so there are lots of potential reasons why people who come from black metal warranties might have been more. More exposed more hit by code 19 and a report is going to be done to have a look into this. In london for us thank you. While staying in the u. K. Medical workers in some parts of britain are starting to run out of personal protective equipment p p e as its known thats despite the government saying theres enough care and those who need it most are getting it with a growing number of Health Care Workers infected or dying many an hour improvising to keep themselves safe jonah hill reports from london i do l. T. R. A renowned surgeon with many Years Experience in the National Health service Donna Campbell a Health Care Support worker who could light up a room with her infectious laugh just some of the u. K. Health care workers whove lost their lives to covert 19 often for want of proper protective equipment my basic understanding of Infectious Diseases increased exposure equals increased risk of contracting that disease and as and key workers as Health Care Workers particularly we are at increased risk of exposure because we are working with people who have current virus every single day and without the right protective equipment then there will be people who die because of being at work every doctor is a Nonprofit Organization run by doctors campaigning to keep Health Workers safe as well as highlighting how far behind other countries the u. K. Is in the provision of protective equipment or p p e every doctor hears daily from medical staff forced to use improvised methods to keep themselves safe this is happening months after concerns about corona virus were 1st raised by Health Workers in the u. K. And despite repeated government promises that items of p. P. Have been procured in their hundreds of millions and of being widely distributed. As britain nears the peak of its separate demick dangerous gaps remain well im sorry if people feel that the happy failings will be very very clear about that but at the same time we are in an unknown in an unprecedented Global Health pandemic right now it is critics call the home secretarys apology half hearted and the Public Services union unison says the time for excuses are surpassed that we are continuing to see significant problems with the supply in d social cat social caste staff is still telling us that and there are major shortages weve got some members telling us that employers are refusing to wear face masks. To help close the gaps this group of london based on true printers has pitched in 3 d. Printing visors for n. H. S. Hospital staff i was inspired by one very sad story parnassus who using been back to check so hes in 3 d. Printers behind us labor to manufacture his facial. Facial it can be reprinted in just under 2 hours and hes inked just some simple elastic and asked t. She does mean is a cut we can ship these out directly to the hospitals that desperate need there will be a time for answers time to ask who failed how and when but for now there is only reality to cope with Health Workers in hospitals and care homes across the country short of basic protection as they tend to the sick and the dying and in some cases having to decide whether saving a life is worth jeopardizing their own job or how al jazeera in london.

The United Nations yemen and voice says he expects the countrys warring parties will formally agree to a truce in the immediate future Martin Griffiths says hes been negotiating with both sides for the past 2 weeks as join our diplomatic editor james bays hes live for us at the United Nations and james to all intents and purposes weve sort of being down this road before with truces and ceasefires so one wonders really what the chances of success really are. We certainly have had positive developments in the past but this is a moment i think where yemen faces a very very precarious future with the threat of covert 19 with the threat of further escalation of violence weve had a call as your be aware from the u. N. Secretary general for a global ceasefire what martin gryphus has now made clear is that following of that call he has actually had very productive negotiations with the sides in the conflict not taking place face to face of but virtually and he believes there is a window of opportunity over the past 2 weeks or more since there. I have been in constant negotiations with the parties on the texts of these agreements on the detail on the wording of these agreements we expect them to agree on formally adopt these agreements in the immediate future so it sounds very positive indeed but it is worth telling you some of the other information put forward to the u. N. Security council theres been no stopping the violence violence has continued to escalate throughout this year there is there are real worries about the humanitarian situation on the ground some 13000000 yemenis rely on the u. N. To help them and the other problem other than the specter of code 19 is the fact the u. N. Funding is running out they urgently need money and the World Health Organization saying 80 percent of clinics will have to close in a matter of months if they dont get more funding so a very difficult precarious situation for yemen really staring down i think the worst Case Scenario and because of that though it looks like this might be a moment where diplomacy can take hold and james base our diplomatic editor there at the u. N. Thanks james. Well staying with the yemen displaced people say their Living Conditions are deteriorating after 8 years of war there are already severe shortages of food and medical supplies as james mentioned but many are worried about 19 and how that could reach their camps momma doll has the story.
