Do what he thinks is right im excited to announce that in the coming weeks the air force and the birds are incredible and the Navy Blue Angels equally incredible will be performing air shows over americas major cities and some of the cities and art major cities are going to be doing a lot of work a lot of very dangerous flying its dangerous you know the the odds when you start going at massive speeds and youre 18 inches away from each other and its dangerous work your son is a great pilot and i dont know if he can be could it be could it be a 1000 feet i think i think he probably could for want to hear better of it one of to be because it is its incredible what they were able to do and to sacrifice. Our frontline what were doing is were paying tribute to our Frontline Health care workers confronting covert and its really a signal to all americans to remain vigilant during the outbreak this is a tribute to them to our warriors because they are equal warriors to those incredible pilots that all of the fighters that we have for the more traditional fights that we win and we win we want to win we always win sometimes we dont want to win so we just go to a standstill but thats always. Thats not the way this country works. Operation america strong was the idea of our great military men and women that thunderbirds in the blue angels crews who wanted to show support to the american medical workers who just like military members in a time of war or fiercely running for the fight is going to be great i want to see those shows ive seen are many times and i cant get enough of them and on july 4th well be doing what we had at the mall as you know were going to be doing it last year was a tremendous success and i would imagine well do it hopefully i can use the term for ever it was a Great Success as you remember even though was pouring it was raining so hard it was raining it. Was about as hard as ive seen in a while but it was an amazing success didnt bother the the pilots and so youre listening to the u. S. President donald trump speaking at the white house alongside the Coronavirus Task force will move away from it for just a moment and and bring in mike hanna to speak about the i suppose the most pressing issues that have come out of the past couple of minutes or so mike and. Right at the top of that press conference he had to call for the c. D. C. Director to come out and explain comments that hes made to the media and the Washington Post i mean just talk us through that because it was a bit of a surprise. Well not only that but it was somewhat uncomfortable President Trump said that it was fake news that it was completely misquoted however the director of the c. D. C. Then gets out and in fact confirms that the quote within the Washington Post piece was indeed what he said theres some discussion about the headline which may or may not be totally accurate but the sense of what he said is completely correct says the director in defiance of President Trump however the director did explain to that he was speaking about it in the context of flu that come the fall the corona virus could hit at the same time as the flu the director explaining that the reason for the interview was to persuade people to get their flu shots this year because it would be essential to sort out those who had flu as opposed to those who had the corona virus but president once again bringing up the director of the c. D. C. To essentially confirm what he said was indeed what he said President Trump has pushed back at scientists before for saying things said he thinks create unnecessary panic but also just in the brief time that weve been listening to the News Conference just a couple of fact checks as one always has to do with these News Conferences that are supposed to be about the virus President Trump repeated his claim that the u. S. Is testing more than anybody else in the world well that is flatly incorrect governors throughout this country say that they are just not getting enough test kits that they are not being able to test in the quantity to be able to decide when to open up theyve also pointed out that federal government is not providing necessary agents for antibody tests which are critical once again to determine the flow of the virus throughout the country the president once again saying that the u. S. Is producing millions of ventilators the disease exporting them around the world will once again not correct they were insufficient when. Latest in place hot spots like new york were pleading for ventilators when the pandemic was at its apex there so as with everything all these News Conferences that President Trump has a lot of it has to be back because this is information that is being promised to the nation as a whole and here once again we have a situation where a respected scientist warns that there is a possibility of the corona virus coming back in the fall in the next winter which will be even more complicated thats the exact words of what the director said in the News Conference because it would be occurring the same time as the flu this wave of the pandemic occurred after the normal flu season so what the top scientist is saying is that if the virus comes along with the flu its going to be much more complicated also the director did not say if he said when the coronavirus comes back president saying it might not even come back at all yeah all right mike thank you very much for that update thanks now the u. S. Has condemned iran successful launch of its 1st military satellite into orbit irans revolutionary guard as a country is now able to monitor the world from space but washington has accused iran in the past of using its Space Program as a cover for Missile Development since the strappy reports. On wednesday morning the will to news of a secret operation carried out by the Islamic Revolutionary guards from a launch site in iran central desert it successfully used a 2 stage rocket to put its 1st military satellite in space. The newer or light is now 425 kilometers above us orbiting earth and the head of the revolutionary guards says it gives irans military new strategic advantages or that. It is a necessity for such powerful Defense Forces like the revolutionary guard to have access to advanced capabilities today the powerful armies of the world have no comprehensive defense plan if they dont have a place in space today we can monitor the world from space and it means boosting strategic data for the i. R. G. C. Putting the satellite into orbit gives us the technological advantage of it and its also a powerful asset in the intelligence war. Iran has put satellites in space before but the success of the noor comes after several failures in recent years its expected to be used for intelligence gathering secure military Communications Navigation and reconnaissance whatever leaders need to support from the sky irans military assets on earth and the satellite isnt the days only technological development. The difference between the satellite and previous ones is that its propulsion the uses a combined solid and liquid fuel only a few superpowers have this capability and only a few countries the rest are consumers of this technology. Its a proud moment for irans revolutionary guards. The group suffered a major setback to its reputation after the accidental shoot down in january of Ukraine InternationalAirlines Flight 752 all 176 people on board were killed since the beginning of the 21st century iran despite diplomatic and economic isolation has managed to develop the technology ness. To elbow its way into an elite club along with rivals like the United States and israel as well as allies like russia china india iran is one of only a dozen countries in the world with the whole growing Rocket Technology to launch its own satellites into space. To her own u. S. Secretary of state my pump ai has reacted to the launch calling for iran to be held accountable a designated terrorist organization or launched a missile today and leave to the point of defense to talk about the details about that but when you talk about the Un Security Council resolution 2231 i think every nation has an obligation to go to the United Nations and evaluate whether this Missile Launch was consistent with that Security Council resolution i think it remotely is and they need i think iran needs to be held accountable for what theyve done well the u. S. Secretary of state has also commented on israeli plans to annex the occupied west bank micron peo says the move is a decision for the new government in israel to make the Palestinian Authority says it will strongly defend any onyx ation attempts by israel. Did that would be young man of the year we told all concerned at the National Parties including the Us Administration and the Israeli Government that we want to stand with cross hands and israel announced an exception of any parts of our lands and will consider all agreements and understanding between us and those 2 countries totally not our correspondent gary fawcett is following the story from west jerusalem he says the annexation of large parts of the occupied west bank was a key issue in negotiations between Benjamin Netanyahu and benny gantz forming a unity government. There is this new Israeli Government as of monday evening the unity emergency government as theyre calling it in which benny gantz the former leader of the opposition joined Benjamin Netanyahu allowing him to stay in office he said because of the current emergency with coronavirus a but as part of the negotiations which led up to that announcement he gave way on what had been a key issue being the annexation of large parts of the occupied west bank it had been understood that he was seeking a veto trying to ensure that other voices were brought into the picture before any move was made and its a should in clearing israels neighbors in the region and also european nations but that is not there in the deal that was announced indeed it says from july the 1st Benjamin Netanyahu can bring up both the cabinet and to the Israeli Parliament the knesset and so that combined with the fact that there is this signal from the United States from this very senior u. S. Government figure in my palm peo does suggest that things are moving in that direction there is supposed to be still this mapping plan a joint team of u. S. And israeli officials delineating exactly which parts under the plan that was announced in january could be annexed by israel but it seems pretty clear that as far as mike compos concerned the ultimate decision will be up to Israel Police in india are being accused of targeting muslims during investigations into violence earlier this year dozens of people have been arrested over the protest against the countrys controversial new citizenship law lets purana reports from new delhi.

Saying delhi police has done its job sincerely and impartially and all the arrests made have been based on scientific and forensic evidence including video footage saga and her parents and many other families are still waiting to hear what the evidence charges against their loved ones elizabeth purana aljazeera new delhi well lets return to the coronavirus pandemic now and Health Officials in france have warned the threat from the virus remains at a high level nonetheless the government is pressing ahead with plans to begin lifting the lockdown next month but as the butler reports there are concerns about how this will work. Dr about all day long is the head of Emergency Services in a hospital in the small town of too long in northern france with the limited resources staff of adapted the hospital to treat coronavirus patients. Weve used plastic sheeting to separate spaces to reduce the risk of infections more than 20000 people have died in france since the start of the Health Crisis the death toll rises each day but the number of patients in intensive care is slowly diminishing the french government says from a 11th it will loosen the Strict Lockdown but dr de long says it will be a while until this hospital is back to normal more. Stress on the last months have been exhausting in my department to doctors and several nurses have coronavirus weve had no visibility on when the crisis will end or how long well have to work this because for us the confinement doesnt mean the end of the coronavirus emergency. The french government hasnt provided details of his de confinement plan those are expected at the end of april nevertheless some businesses are getting ready manages it this car factory has put in place protective measures for workers in Case Production is permitted to resume a little staff will have the temperature taken and if its too high they will not be allowed on to the site until the french government reveals its full day confinement strategy many people in france feel simply uncertain about their futures they dont know when theyre going to be able to go back to work when schools like this one will reopen or when it will be possible to once again walk in the streets freely without a permit. Well some people are looking forward to restrictions being eased others a cautious i think it might be a dancer father bird because they made against to various. Possible to do it only if people wear masks with a street to condition us the government says the life in france after the lockdown will not be the same as before and for months to come people will have to take precautions until a way is found to control will stop the spread of coronavirus induna hospital staff know that the crisis is far from over Natasha Butler aljazeera moamar oh france almost all of the South AfricanArmy Soldiers are being deployed to enforce the National Lockdown more than 70000 will join the nearly 2300 personnel already on the streets of major cities the move comes after south africas president. Announced the 26000000000 dollar virus rescue package on tuesday reads a miller is in lichtenberg east of johannesburg and says officials are worried south africas virus peak may be some months away. Well according to what weve heard from the government so far is that theres increasing concern about just how the numbers regarding the number of infections in south africa is escalating and this is what the minister of defense said earlier on local radio the rate at which the infections has gone up you will realize that at some point we might need the kind of Human Resource deployed like weve never seen before and so this deployment of more than 73000 soldiers in addition to that initial 2000 would be the largest deployment by the south African NationalDefense Force in south africas history i mean that even goes back to the 1st democratic elections in 1904 the government here is concerned about just how bad the infections will get in south africa and estimates show that theyre working on a model that indicates that so that free because Coronavirus Crisis will perhaps be it in august or september the government is saying that they need these soldiers to enforce the lockdown it needs these soldiers to prepare quarantine sites ensure people are abiding by the lockdown and essentially try and flats in that curve of head of the coming months brazil has the most infections in latin america and many of its states say their Health Care Systems are struggling right now a city of 2000000 people in the heart of the amazon rain forest has been hit particularly hard the number of boroughs in the region has more than doubled from around 30 a day before the pandemic to 100 other cities having to dig mass graves to cope. Colombias government has announced that the lockdown there will be extended by another 2 weeks until may the 11th the country has more than 4000 cases and almost 200 deaths and now as he reports people are going hungry and. Silent cry for help red rags pieces of cloth even shirts signaling that inside behind those windows theres a family. They have become a potent symbol of the effects of the lockdown on the most vulnerable colombians a visible measure of the daily rise in poverty and hunger. Of 2 young girls says the rags have multiplied across his neighborhood home to many people displaced by colombias internal conflict like most he lost his work and so how is paying 3 emptied out. Often to be a down to eating once a day at the beginning neighbors to help us with some food but now they also run out the government says stay in stay in but we cant eat boards or tiles. The government and municipal torrie to say some help is on the way the 1st payment of 140. 00 for each family in need but no one here has received it yet. So some of built barricades with stones and burned tires this sign says there are starving people today i mean youre right we are hungry there are babies dying of starvation because the aid has arrived im here in the morning at night at all times and nothing is coming helping the roughly 20000000 working the Informal Sector requires a colossal effort on the part of the government and at least until now it seems like there simply isnt enough help or is too long to reach many of them. The city of bogota says its spending 55000000. 00 in aid delivering bags. Food door to door yet despite the efforts the mayor recognizes the delay. In that heaters we already sent money 2280000 families and 1700000 bags of food and even with such a monumental operation in 3 weeks we are still missing people. And there is another National Disease complicating the efforts corruption government watchdog entities found evidence of money embezzle may in 2000 of contracts meant to combat the crisis i think that what we have now in colombia is actually 3 pandemics the coronavirus hunger and corruption what this virus is showing us is just how critical and unjust our social and political system is. A crisis upon a crisis this seems impossible to keep up to as the needs continue to pile up i listen to them. A half a century ago the 1st earth day mobilized millions of people to fight for the protection of the planet this year the battle us particular importance the clock has more earth day a question observateur with c. B. S. News correspondent walter cronkite. Good evening if you think day in American History as i live a day the grainy story of the day half a century ago fashionable 5th avenue was off limits to automobiles and april 22nd 1970 across the United States more than 20000000 americans took part in the original earth day that was one in 10 of the population of 170 in the United States pollution have become a really serious problem simply breathing in the air in many of our major American Cities its like smoking 2 packs of cigarettes a day rivers are catching on fire birds are going extinct and and there was a great upwelling of protest against that and it developed into a protest movement that continues to this day empowered by its early success and it led to an era in which we passed a clean water act in a new age of species active Marine Mammal protection act and Toxic Substances Control Act we banned leaded gasoline we banned lead in paint it was just a remarkable courage of environmental accomplishment. 50 years on the threats posed by the Climate Crisis are even more pressing. For one thing its evident modern day pollution has made thousands more vulnerable to the coronavirus pandemic we know actually the Climate Change is one of the drivers of condom ics as well as being a superior destruction to it is he to produce enough food to protect our cities from floods and storms and right. Now on earth day there are calls to seize the opportunity to recalibrate after the pandemic has come. I think were seeing a ramping up of focus within the financial world and i would say some really interesting and positive signals it really in in the last few weeks from governments saying that they are going to actually come out of this crisis you know way that leads to a green much green a much stronger economy. Given the variety of threats we face much depends on how we come back from covert 19 because its become very apparent the way humanity treats the world as a way of reflecting how the world treats humanity they knew that back in 1970 nic clarke aljazeera and thats it from the team here in london will hand you over to our colleagues in doha theyll have much more news coming up in just a few minutes on aljazeera thanks for watching by the us is always of infected people all right the world theyve been going on for a number of hours what you can be a report from an International Perspective the crikey your global audience how this could impact your life this is an important part of the world and our viewers very good at bringing the news to the world from here the journey to work can be a challenge on its own.
