Prime minister a day after the courts ruled against his suspension of parliament. And decision time in mali elections will go ahead despite the kidnapping of an Opposition Leader. And some of hong kongs most prominent prodemocracy figures arrested months old from those mass protests. But into the News New York has recorded its lowest number of corona virus deaths in 2 weeks but the governor is warning cases may not yet have reached their peak 540 people have died in the past day in new york state which is the hardest hit part of the us the number peaked at close to 800 while america has more confirmed cases and deaths in covert 19 than any other country in the world new york state Governor Andrew Cuomo is demanding more testing and says the federal government must do more to help. If it wasnt for the relative context that weve been in this would be devastating news 2000 people coming into the Hospital System or testing positive and if you notice 2000 were not at the peak but this is where we were just about in late march when it started to go up so were not at the plateau anymore but were still not in a good position governor combers been in a war of words with the u. S. President over how to respond to the crisis meanwhile the governor of Washington State is accusing President Trump of we quoting for mental domestic rebellion jay inslee says trump is spreading lies in signaling his support for people to protest against lockdown rules over the past few days hundreds of people have joined protest rallies demanding an end to shutdowns in several states targeting governors and government buildings all this is how trump has used twitter to urge supporters to liberate 3 states a day after he said that its up to governors to decide when and how to ease those restrictions. James warren is an executive editor of news guard thats an internet tool which rates news sources on trustworthiness joins me now on skype from chicago good to have you with us now the president has politicized the lock down by targeting democratically held states or those with democratic governors i mean whats the end game here. Well the end game is still in real action particularly in a state like nearby michigan which has a rather Popular Democratic governor who has duels with the president over some of these issues and its a state with president won in 2016 against Hillary Clinton and seeding we would need to win again the political play is quite clear especially after as you mentioned this 108 degree turn where in fact was even more than that because prior to his telling the governors that they had jurisdiction on how to deal with iris and how to deal with reopening states he had said that the president of states had total absolute power and could tell them what to do while now hes sort of gone back to his initial on this show you as he is essential given is a suit various state protests which began yesterday were to be going on today a big one for her ass off and texas was a generally democratic state. Database use of you might say gone to some people who have been watching his behavior over the last 3 or 4 years and always this particular incident the strategy developed by his advisors full of this moment in time. Well i think many of his critics would say that when it comes to go and grow he is and the other consistent since the beginning of his president ial campaign in 2015 and now whats very a bit about some of these tests is that he is trying to exploit some deeply conspiratorially totally on claims held by some of his supporters about the origin of the virus in some cases claim against chinese conspiracy to undermine the trump reelection and then maybe bill gates the microsoft founder was behind it or maybe they were chinese spies and stole a virus from the Canadian Laboratory that is seemingly one of the motives behind some of the protests taking place today in austin texas but the bottom line is basically that in a very brief period of time in the whole matter rio in states like illinois and really more in some fashion from a Public Health discussion to a decidedly political debate but lets talk about some of those protests that you just touched upon because if he is appealing to his base they have reacted in small numbers perhaps in the pictures that way seeing but does it reflect the wide to base that hes appealing to before an election in november. Well one suspects that it might and for sure he is. Egged on by some of the berry conservative commentators Cable Television here who are beloved in some ways by many members of his plays but i dont think the answer to that question is clear yet until we have a lot more polling which is kind of difficult to do given some of the social. Distancing strictures on everybody there is some some group of his base that clearly supports this notion and the longer im staggered staggering us on the point that years continue to grow you can see the easier it will be to try to nc some of these folks into protesting and state governments pictures but there are things. James warren from news got thanks so much for joining us on aljazeera from chicago thanks a. Medical workers in the United Kingdom are criticizing a government suggestion to reuse personal protective equipment as its known doctors and nurses treating coronavirus patients are suffering critical shortages the new guidance suggests that alternatives to fluid repellent full length gowns such as reusable ones may be needed the British Medical Association says the shortage is down to government failings paul brennan has more from ashford contriver see about the amounts of stock of this personal protective equipment this p. P. A. Has been growing in recent weeks and essentially building to a crescendo in the past couple of days we had the Health Secretary talkies the government minister responsible for health. Reporting for Parliamentary Committee on friday saying he wished he had a magic wand that he could wave to generate more people even he just couldnt because the global marketplace was so scarce at the moment but the pressure thats coming is because of anecdotal evidence from the frontline that staff who are treating 1000 patients are having to do so compromising their own safety their old college of nursing the union for the nurses said that 51 percent of the staff that they had surveyed had been asked to reuse supposedly single use protective equipment now the response of Public Health england which is the body which represents the governments the governments stance in this has been to say well were going to reassess our guidelines and perhaps water down the guidelines maybe they dont need to be so stringent so you can reuse stuff they said that some compromise was needed to optimize the supply of p. P. A. In times of extreme shortages but the saturday daily News Conference from downing street the communities minister Robert Generac admitted that the simply wasnt enough at the moment to go around we are trying to do everything we can to get the equipment that we need were trying to source more internationally. That is difficult at times there is a great deal of demand for it in the security that supply can prove very challenging but we are making progress there what were talking about here is the long sleeved disposable fluid repellant gowns that are used in the intensive care units and you can imagine just how much demand there is for those not just here in the u. K. But around and around the world there is a general said a new delivery arriving on sunday but these 84. 00 tons that are arriving from turkey which involve some 400000 gallons he said it was pointed out to him by a reporter that the rate the n. H. S. Is using goes down at the moment that amounts to about 3 days of supply so its really not that much at all so this is not just a Health Care Issue anymore its a real political hot potato for the government and theyre getting a lot of criticism as a result of what is perceived to be a lack of forward planning. A lot done in sudans capital khartoum has taken effect yet to be in place for the next 3 weeks the decision was made as the Health Ministry announced a sharp increase in people who have contracted covert 19 cases doubled in the last 24 hours 10 people have died have a morgue and has been following developments from the capital khartoum. Saturday is the 1st day of the total lockdown that has been announced by sudans government on the capitals states how to tomb and right now most of the streets are empty but that has been the scene since 1 oclock local time prior to that from 6 am to 1 pm local time the government has allowed people to be able to move freely to be able to buy the essential goods but what it has done is made sure that the 3 parts of the capital. Khartoum Center People cannot interact between those 3 sections of the capital without specific special foreign permits granted by the government so they are trying to minimize the movement of the people to make sure that those who are infected and are asymptomatic do not come in contact with other people and that would minimize in their hopes the number of infections which has been rising over the past few days despite warnings by the government that it does not have the infrastructure to cope with the surge the numbers of gone from 32 on friday to 66 saturday morning and the government has been saying that they do not think that they would be able to handle the number of cases should they rise even further which is why the Prime Minister made a plea to the u. N. To be able to assist with the number of cases despite that we see a lot of people still out on the streets there are people who are still defying orders on friday people have gone to the mosque despite an order from the minister of religious affairs telling people not to go to try to minimize the spread of the virus so the spy government efforts there are some some people who still deny the fact that the government is in country and that is taking a toll on the number infections highrises 15 percent fatality so far from the number of people who have tested positive and that is raising concerns between some civilians who know about the virus and between the government who has admitted repeatedly that it doesnt have the infrastructure or the capability to deal with it well thought hes in iran have allowed some businesses to reopen with the government saying its time to shift the focus back to the economy but some Health Experts are warning it may be too soon from to be hopeful. After nearly 2 months of being closed because of the corona virus businesses in the iranian capital are waking up from their hibernation for main street shops like this in open areas the citys prime real estate it is business as usual but for covered markets where there are bottlenecks where dense crowds can gather the government says its still too dangerous to open up any of the shops in those spaces. But the traders weve spoken to in teheran is back alley bazaars theyve told us that not only have they not made any money for months but it will take many more months to get back on their feet they say they too need to pay their rent and meet their expenses let alone try to turn a profit and that they hope that the government lifts the remaining control measures entirely in the coming weeks now president Hassan Rouhani has championed the idea of what he calls smart distancing things start going back to normal but people simultaneously maintain strict rules of hygiene but irans Deputy Health minister who contracted coby 1000 himself in recent days he said that iran is the countrys achilles heel a weak point when it comes to fighting this fire its and government figures do suggest that the infection and death rates are going down and everyone here also hopes that it stays that way but the government has now effectively shifted the onus put the onus on its people and after weeks of being indoors there is this isolation fatigue there is word and so people here are ready to go back to work its more crowded in downtown to run than it has been in weeks but there are also skeptical voices in the government that say the rush to reopen could backfire and that people in the country should be prepared for the possibility of a 2nd wave of the virus. To soldiers who have returned to their barracks after the Prime Minister told of them on to the streets to in his words restore peace and order that comes a day out.

We had actually started the investigations off which saw him go into court also to defend that that case is still coming on now the movements of the police of the soldiers in town indeed the citizens will come up to unusual movements he made the statement in television this morning that there will be that movement that and people should not be worried but what he meant what he said in that statement is that there has been a few people who are abusing the freedom of speech who are now using it in the course of law to try and undermine their stuff and commit an investor of the can.

This is the most significant military development in libya in the last year how there is in danger of losing his last ground supply line that feeds his conflict in tripoli that i dont know which is around 60 kilometers to tripoli is the last possible node in a long supply lines that if he was to lose that are going to have the lines between them and tripoli cut he could no longer continue his ground offensive and thats one of the major reasons why his forces are not only in retreat but also using indiscriminate violence i mean there has been reports now of up to 130 missile strikes in the last 24 hours in some tripoli that have really just targeted civilian homes Residential Homes at times where those people have been told to self isolate this their home but also hospitals that treats include 19 patients so there is no other objective other than in juicing the stress and pain on tripolis residents and its you know its almost a spoilers move in retaliation for his losses the last in western libya for the last week so there really isnt retreat and this is a real danger and Police Arrested 15 of the best known prodemocracy politicians and activists in hong kong theyre accused of illegally organizing the largest antigovernment protests ever seen there former colonial power britain says its concerned about chinas continuing erosion of hong kongs freedoms as devika pollen reports.

More than half of humanity thats 4500000000 under some sort of restriction as the world fights the slow coronavirus pandemic its affecting people from all walks of life and in different ways so lets speak to the pen family from North West London theres mum elaine dad richard and their children naomi and noah welcome to aljazeera thank you very much for your time can i start with you elaine because basically corona virus has taken a toll on your family you have lost a member of your family but that individual wont be counted in the official british figures and youre not happy about that. You know my step brother. Friday which you go and see is very very distressing time for everybody but because he died in a community at home and if one can see one be one of the deaths this these scenes that is 6 i dont believe that he was just enough he was removed from the family home and so here we are recorded and its just really unfair because if it is theyre released just on this the true reflection of how many people died and of course it was more problematic i presume because what were you able to attend the funeral we did it by soon which was a very very strange thing to do his brother and his wife and 2 sons were able to attend obviously keep in Center Distance and a couple of other family members that we we watched rising now about 108 cheney and it does take something away we cant quite do the grieving process in a way least we were able to pay our respects and maybe be able to do that in the future all being well richard click on to your lawyer and a very busy one about how far has your company been able to continue working without being able to present your legal cases in court because i presume they are closed as well. The courts are there are probably some sort of earrings that theyre still accepting. Advocate civil attending person but generally speaking. There isnt much court work going on im quite fortunate most of my work is desk office based and so youre now looking at my office so ive been out to keep working most of ringback my colleagues have managed to keep working. But weve had to salute and adapt to the technology and the challenges are getting i. T. Set up it was home so that its a seamless as possible but generally speaking in a professional way its quite fortunate that. We were able to work remotely so hasnt had too much of him act you know working in a new reality and know youre a student in performing arts i believe your Academic Year must be up in the air right now whats going on yes so we have been set from teaches to keep working at. Our Creative Minds going d in terms of fine great final results for the year as with most schools in the country were one sure how thats going to pan out and i think it in our particular situation at the school im not weve done a major unit which is a. Big part in receiving our final grades it still airs as you say theres still a lot of confusion surrounding you know we are how does that work because in your case the performing arts Student Needs a lot of bounce and work off of the actors dont you it must be quite difficult to be able to communicate with your friends from college. Yeah well we so was able to communicate through different forms of social media face timing lots. As you say alternately especially with my area its very physical work with each other so there are things think that you place to. Try and just do the best we have and weve weve what weve got so weve got. A project that we were working on just the fall of the lockdown was where we were in groups and we had to work on basically just devising a performance from scratch whereas now we have to do that as an individual. So we can work out the. Cas just things like that trying to make do with what weve got got well good luck with that anyway naomi i hadnt forgotten your promise so you know youre there and of course you are working in p. R. Youve just graduated after a couple of years lets just talk about what its like in your case youre helping with the shopping youre helping with your grandparents whats the whats the reality for you when you walk outside the front door of your house what are you experiencing when it comes to going to the supermarket and looking after the elderly. Its quite scary actually and its its the reason is there is going to supermarkets and everyone treating each other so differently to no one in our events in such a small island supermarket everyone is very aware of how close you want other people and say you know the shopping really shot that would usually take an hour and here is now take most of the saturday because you have to keep half an ounce cans the shelf and then everything is done so much and then we do reach across to. Grandparents or. My grandma who is when i can see its aligned and say shes quite a cohen has it actually start on her doorstep and then back away original is quite difficult because you just want to go over and hungry her originally led in and calm and then mother said grandparents they live in retirement flat sorry desolate and rich and a lot of people are just presents is somewhat good at least theyre not completely aligned it is still difficult job stuff will not be able to great then as you might say you know elaine a you know a the matriarch of the family you are allowed obviously all of you allowed to go for a walk and to get out of the house and i think speaking before we came on air you did say youre a bit nervous about sort of the way people are behaving in parks and in public spaces has that changed since the last few days we spoke to each other. No no i was out at night and theres a park close by its a pm 6 quite nice to go out for and lately stroll and the amount of people most in couples e. C. Or consortium is still causing terror and spread out along the pathway to dont get your way and jump into the shoes and then if youre just walking along straight is it people walking towards you and you cross the road but it seems to be an automatic thing its like everybody thinks that person could be dangerous to lets lets keep away and a lot more lot a lot of people are Wearing Masks then they stay and its but its still i think going out the other night and there was a group thats maybe 5 or 6 people just congregating on the pavement and so we just crossed the road which is just i dont know what it was 70 people altogether and so while they were in it and its the new reality perhaps richard maybe the final word with you in that obviously as a family and like millions of families across the United Kingdom and across the globe we do intently watch what the British Government has to say in their daily briefings do you think as a family and perhaps as part of a community youre being given all the information that you need to know you confident or not that the government is doing the right thing is going in the right direction. I think the government is genuinely following the scientific advice but i think or sort of that not just politicians but the scientists were somewhat taken by surprise. I mean this is this is something or i think has been. Known about since around christmas the beginning of this year. I dont think the government perhaps will get as seriously as they should of the study. I dont think they fully appreciate it just what was heading their work. So i think theyve been slow to act but having eventually grasped just how serious this. This disease is viruses aids they have put in place the appropriate measures and i think generally speaking the public are following those measures and there were always be a minority of people that just dont think these things will affect the. Perceived i think the earlier messaging seems to suggest that you know people wouldnt be affected in the same way it was perhaps not the right message because i think it gave younger people sense of security and were now seeing unfortunately have see you know deaths amongst people of all ages you know that the very home and was very low so i think perhaps that messaging wasnt perhaps as early as approaches it should be but that said in the last couple of weeks services theyve got on top of it im thinking and i think that doing the best they can but i think michael governments you know this is something thats new its not. A situation scenario that any government is ready and cant for pandemic of this you know and he just cant be contained so overall i think the answer the question is theyre doing the best job they can it could be better while its been out to persia to speak to Elaine Richard iommi and noah pen in north of the thanks for joining us on aljazeera really appreciate your time thanks very.
