The governments been reporting. Harder for you cheers citizens is to draw on to to. Do a good week a moment volunteers helping to boost irans response to the pandemic. Does not donald trump has declared he will suspend immigration into the United States through an executive order that he tweeted this the u. S. President saying it is a response to the coronavirus pandemic he refers to it 19 as the invisible enemy trump added that he has to protect american jobs it was an announcement address with condemnation from some in the Democratic Party have accused trump of distracting people from what they describe as his faulty response to the outbreak more from chicago now which 100. 00. The president issued this tweet in the dark of night and he seemed to do that for good reason he could have made his announcement at his daily News Conference where he talks about the coronavirus and all of the actions the administration is taking but by issuing this mysterious tweet late on a monday night he gets the morning news cycles where the newspapers d in the morning shows talking about what hes had to say and then in the afternoon he gets another round where he explains what his policy is and then it gets to gestate and analyzed again and the president wants to show that hes doing something the centers for Disease Control just a month ago in a little known action. Issued an order that allowed the United States to stop people at the border who didnt have the proper papers and because of the pandemic that order allows them to send people back similarily no Court Hearing no chance for asylum theyre sent back automatically and now the president is expanding that to include any immigration from anywhere. Lets hear from thomas gift who specializes in u. S. Politics hes a lecturer at University College london he believes this is simply a political move by donald trump. I think this is more about optics than it is about economics theres certainly a conceptual difference here between shutting down workers from extreme ill travel to many countries of course im done to isolate contain the spread of 19 actually newton substantive reforms to immigration policy trump does insist that suspending immigration is meant to protect jobs in the u. S. Its unemployment has escalated economists can debate that but i think largely what trump is trying to do is explode a political opportunity here of course and structure immigration policy has been one of the president s marquee issues since he entered the white house as reflected by well his National Emergency that he declared the Us Mexico Border wall that were to temporarily ban immigration from muslim majority countries and so on and so i think that this effort very much placed into that narrative and he thinks that its a political winner among his conservative base there is a lot of uncertainty about what he actually meant by his substance of its tweet just because you know oftentimes these tend to be so cryptic so we may see either a lot of this. Officials within his administration or he may decide to just press ahead with this as he intended and so at this point theres just a lot of uncertainty and a lot already that hopefully will be getting more in the coming days. Well the International Benchmark for oil brant crude has fallen to just under 20. 00 a barrel its lowest point in 18 years and says after the u. S. Oil prices crash below 0 and 1. 00 is in negative territory the futures figure has since come back but only to about 2. 00 a barrel and a big fall in Global Energy demand because of the pandemic unlocked on measures it means the world now has more crude oil than it can even store and again it has our report. At the beginning of 2020 a barrel of u. S. Crude oil cost around 60. 00 then came the coronavirus pandemic forcing states toward a lockdown emptying streets closing businesses and shuttering factories across the nation demand dried up and the price fell to 18. 00 on monday things took a catastrophic turn for the 1st time in history u. S. Oil went into negative territory a doomsday scenario for the entire industry President Trump called the drop interesting despite the crushing it in the stock market were filling up our National Petroleum reserves through dziedzic you know the Strategic Reserves and were looking to put as much as 75000000. 00 barrels into the reserves themselves that would top it out that would be the 1st time in a long time its been tapped out would get it for the right price capacity though both online and see in the United States is filling up since march stockpiles in some locations have risen by 50 percent in some places the price of fuel is now at a 10 year low demand is down theres no certainty when states will reopen and all this comes as a severe blow to President Donald Trump hes going to Great Lengths to protect the oil sector working with both russia and opec to reduce production now the entire Global Industry is another president in crisis the Historic Deal to slash production by mill. Ends of barrels a day involved saudi arabia russia and other Oil Producing nations but experts say another global effort is needed were probably down a 1000000 from our normal 10000000 barrels down to about 9 that probably needs to come down some more but all the other Oil Producing countries need to do the same until the the economy recovers the plunging price is a driven by trading deadlines oil is traded on its future price contracts are due to expire on tuesday why is it virtually nonexistent some traders are now paying to get rid of oil instead of buying it the president says the industry will bounce back they got caught and there are a lot of people that are not too happy because they got caught so you take a look at it youll see its more of a financial thing than an Oil Situation but because you take i believe in a month or so go a little bit its a 25. 00 and 28. 00 or so its largely a financial squeeze if there is a Silver Lining those on the front lines of the coronavirus will pay less to fuel because a recovery in demand for oil is now dependent on a crisis that in many parts of the u. S. Is far from over and we gallacher all jazeera miami florida. Economics as out of balance in london says this glass in oil supply is a global problem that needs a coordinated multinational response. Theres more than 35000000. 00 barrels in circulation which out which which are not useful to anybody at this present time and so we need to figure out how to get rid of those 35000000. 00 bows that would me russia United States and saudi arabia shutting down production but thats not practical because if you shut down practical you can damage wells so it needs a collective help from from everyone around the world the other thing that the United States can do is rid off the Strategic Reserve to allow corporations to actually store away their oil in those copra in those in the Strategic Reserve and thats something that were going to consider and the u. S. Is also considering haying Oil Companies to keep oil in in the oil well so that they dont pump it out thats just some of the ideas that are being floated at this present moment where european markets have opened lower after the u. S. Oil price crash there is the stocks 600. 00 which is the paneuropean index it fell about one percent at the open londons foot c. 1. 00 it fell also frankfurt and paris they both should 2 percent that followed the worst day for about a month in asian stocks tokyos nikkei was almost 2 percent lower than was at the close of Hong Kong Sydney in seoul dropped about one percent and they were losses too in shanghai and singapore now the coronavirus death toll in england and wales is 41 percent higher than government figures indicate that is according to the u. K. s office for National Statistics the oas said it recorded just over 13000 deaths by airport 10th but the governments toll for those who died in hospital until then was around 9000 paul brennan in london for us can you explain the discrepancy here paul. The discrepancy is essentially because the theyre not comparing quite like for like but the question is which is the most accurate which is that which is giving the best picture of the reality here in england and wales and you have to say that it was probably the masses and therefore the accusation against the government figures is theyre underestimating the scale of the infection in England Wales the statistics are as follows what the ins found was that total deaths up to april the 10th. 13121 of them involving 19 but for the same period the government statistics for deaths include from kovac 19 on the government statistics only those people have been tested in hospital 9200 88. 00 thats the figure that the government ministers give on daily basis on a daily basis at that downing street briefing and its the one that the media has been writing upon so to have the ins now coming out and saying that in truth what weve found including if you include deaths in the Community Deaths in care homes basically looking at death certificates to get a more accurate picture of whats the cause of death the government appears to be underestimated by 41 percent and that will obviously not go down well paul im just thinking about all the criticism there has been up until this point of the u. K. Government sunday newspapers had a big feature on it apparently sleepwalking into this disaster this would just be another layer on top of that. Well yes because testing has been one of the biggest criticisms of the government they started off with a policy of testing wherever covert 1000 had been discovered then halfway through march they pivoted away from that and decided that the virus was so written and bedded in the population that testing really wouldnt do it was necessary now though when other countries are contemplating relaxing the restrictions that theyve imposed on their populations here in the u. K. The allegation is well hold on how can you possibly even think about it here by the way the government isnt thinking about it here yet but how can you even think about it if you dont actually know where the virus is and how big this what the scale of the problem is the government has promised that 100000 tests a week will be will be done by the end of this month and theyre nowhere near its its less than 50000. 00 at the moment theyre not even close to it so all of these things are amounting up as to why their government is not doing what perhaps people think they think should be doing and getting a get a much better grip on the scale of the pandemic here in england and wales thank you paul brennan in london still ahead on aljazeera more on the coronavirus pandemic and its effect with look at how millions more could go hungry as a result of the virus.

Lets look at some other world news and a service has been held in sri lanka to remember those killed in a series of attacks on Easter Sunday last year the local Muslim Community has faced a backlash after a small Islamic Group claimed responsibility for that attack when often and as reports from colombo where she met a father who lost his children some on city man and his wife were struggling to keep on the 1st anniversary of the easter bunny in 1000 euros son and 22 year old daughter were intern and these church praying for good results at upcoming public exams when a suicide bomber struck.

From one Hospital Board to the next looking for my children but i couldnt find the mini were finally young dr told me however reluctant that i should look in the mortuary i couldnt seem to friend who was with me he came back sobbing that my son was there when i recovered consciousness we got another call that my daughter had been found in another mortuary a little known locally slam explains who called the national. Claimed responsibility for the attacks. Investigations revealed some members of the group paid state informants that authorities were repeatedly warned about their activities and that some politicians had even intervened to release some of those arrested earlier but most troubling that intelligence warnings of impending attacks had be known the families of the victims want accountability. I dont think there is any cause in the world that can give me justice because that means giving me my children back that wont ever happen but those who neglected their responsibilities must be punished. The archbishop of colombo Cardinal Malcolm ranjit also criticised the negligence of the then government and the cover up that followed addressing the tensions that came after the bombings he praised his congregation for not letting emotion drive their actions our challenge will be to work amicably with all our fellow citizens and to ensure a true acceptance and integration thats an approach to muslim human rights activist endorses she says the end of muslim sentiment which followed the bombings shook the community when this happened all of a sudden we have become terrorist actually International Terrorist connected to why its so we were really worried about existence in the country because the way that the entire Muslim Community was blamed for what few people did was highly problematic through say sri lankan politicians have been engaged in hate mongering feeling tensions and causing division by portraying the Muslim Community as the villain in recent years the past year hasnt ease the pain of losing loved ones anthonys or in the east a bombing most families and all those who warned of the threat of an attack say whats hardest to cope with is that they think the bombings could have been prevented if only the government had cared to do so and then theres aljazeera colomba.
