Of work and a fly past and a promotion for a british war veteran as he turns 100. 00 captain moore who raised over 37000000. 00 for the National Health service. So the latest coronavirus developments from around the world now were starting with some good news from south korea which was one of the worst hit countries in asia for the 1st time in 2 Months Health officials have reported no new domestic infections thats the 1st time since the outbreak peaked in february meaning south koreas total now sits at a little over 10700. 00 cases and 247. 00 deaths according to Johns Hopkins university not such good news in britain though the number of deaths there is jumped to more than 26000 because the government is now starting to include fatalities from places like care homes for the elderly previously was just the hospitals so with that change the u. K. Now has the 2nd highest number of fatalities in europe after italy but some positive news about a possible treatment coming out of the u. S. Officials say theyre seeing progress in trials with the anti viral drug via the rate is reported to have dropped from 11 and a half percent to 8 and Dr Anthony Fauci the top advisor on the pandemic in the u. S. Says the average Recovery Time has gone down from 15 days to 11. Although a 31 percent improvement doesnt seem like a knock out 100 percent it is a very important proof of concept because what it is proven is that a drug can block this virus. More on the situation in south korea now with mcbride in seoul. Weve been seeing numbers of around 10 new cases per day being reported sometimes down and to Single Digits and we know that most of these cases have been coming from abroad people arriving into south korea the latest figures show that there have been 4 new cases but all of those cases have been from abroad so for the very 1st time we have no cases of local transmission so it is something of an achievement you have to say when you compare it to the height of the outbreak at the end of february south korea was reporting Something Like 900. 00 plus cases every day so to get it down to this has been a real achievement of the government here though the authorities are still advising caution as they would especially at the moment we do have what is a very actually a very busy travel period we have several Public Holidays by coincidence all forming very close together so people are using this opportunity especially after being cooped up for so long in coinciding incidentally with beautiful spring weather to take breaks for the 1st time for many many of them for many weeks its difficult obviously still to travel outside of south korea but people are going to domestic destinations resorts around the coast we know that planes are all busy so theres the domestic terminals and some of the hotels in the more popular resorts are completely full this thursday we are seeing buddhas birthday its a very Important National holiday here its being celebrated at temples across the country but an indication of just how things are changing in previous years the high point of this celebration would be a carnival a parade through the streets of seoul at night time with lanterns attracting thousands of people well that has been delayed for a month with much simpler ceremonies taking place instead. Now as you mention the number of coronavirus deaths in the u. K. Is jumped to more than 26000 now after the government began including numbers from care homes for the 1st time in germany lockdowns are raising fears about the state of its economy as well as the news from across europe now with catherine stansell. Despite 5 weeks of lockdown the u. K. Reaches a grim milestone the death toll from coronavirus is now the 2nd highest in europe behind italy the man standing in for Prime MinisterBoris Johnson himself still recovering from corona virus says this is down to the fact that deaths outside of hospitals were not being recorded in the daily figures until now we have recorded an additional 3811. 00 deaths in total and i think its just important to say those additional deaths were spread over the period from the 2nd of march the 28th of april so that they dont represent a sudden surge in the number of deaths but secretary rob. And parliament for a Prime Ministers question time where most m. P. s took part in virtually not in person Opposition Leader cure starmer wanted to know why there are still so many people dying of coronavirus in care homes and shortages of protective equipment for Frontline Health workers. On monday the promise to said in his short speech that many were looking at our apparent success in the United Kingdom but just the 1st secretary agree with me but far from success these latest figures are truly dreadful so he also asked when the government would announce a strategy for lifting the current restrictions rob simply said it was still too early but he will know because i know hes in the situation of the International Evidence that germany has now have to think twice about easing up on the measures because of the risk of the 2nd spike germanys economy minister says he now expects Economic Growth to shrink this year by minus 6. 3 percent meaning the countrys deepest recession since the 2nd world war output is predicted to rebound by more than 5 percent next year. But that depends on government being able to gradually lift lockdown measures from wednesday germans have to wear a mask when entering shops which began to open last week nose and mouth coverings are already compulsory on public transport but while this kind of travel is permitted International Trips are very much off the agenda its given it to. The cabinet decided that Global Travel restrictions were nonessential on Holiday Travel will be up held until june 14th this is a decision that we have had to take because we are not at the point in our fight against the disease to be able to offer safe travels. Meanwhile in spain one of europes worst hit countries theyve recorded a daily coronavirus death count below 400 for the 6th day in a row in the summer times theres reason to be hopeful catherine stansell aljazeera. And just an update on germany as well some new signs the pandemic is really starting to impact the economy there are the number of unemployed in europes strongest economy rose by 300000 in april taking the. Total number of jobs to 2600000 germanys g. D. P. Is forecast to shrink more than 6 percent this year with the government expecting the most painful recession since world war 2 to bottom out in the next 3 months its hoped Economic Activity will pick up after that but thats to pendent on a 2nd wave of infections not happening now nearly half the worlds workers may lose their livelihoods because of the pandemic the uns International Labor organization is forecasting up to 1600000000 people in informal jobs could be out of work most of them remember have no welfare protection no access to health care and cant work from home in the 1st month of the operate such workers lost 60 percent of their income manufacturing Food Services retail these are among the worst hit of the industries what we find in report in this monitor is of the lives of the 2b2b informal workers of the world about 1600000000 as suffered massive damage to their ability to earn a living and to support themselves and their families if they are not able to go out and work for a day and earn some income day by day because thats how it tends to work their family wont eat they wont eat and their family will not eat and there is no social protection. On some other news the libyan warlord honey for hafter is announced a ceasefire during the holy month of ramadan which just hours earlier his forces launched another rocket attack on a medical facility i have been trying to take over the libyan capital tripoli for a year Charlotte Bell us with this report. This is the aftermath of a grad missile hitting a house complex near tripoli on wins day mourning one person died and at least 5 were injured libyas un recognized government lay blame with warlord general. Youd always later after a spokesman announced a ceasefire for the muslim holy month of ramadan when headley slept well we hereby announce the sation of all military operations on our part and any breach of the session of military operations by terrorist militias will face an immediate in very severe response will be labeled a terrorist militia is actually the un recognized government this week it accused tuft of a coup after he declared himself a leader by popular mandate and ended peace talks with them the un reacted sternly we stand against any unilateral measures that would pretty jeopardize. Half the controls east in libya a year ago he launched an offensive for the weakest and with it libyas capital tripoli but his forces have been pushed back in recent weeks the worry is just general haftar is not going to. Or wind up as a dictator or. Where we have to. Rise up and get into. Place. Its an intractable conflict with both hafter and the tripoli government receiving support from multiple nations feel that feeds the conflict one of have to is closest allies is the United Arab Emirates sources told al jazeera that a senior abu dhabi delegation including the crown princes brother flew into khartoum on choose day to discuss how sudan and the u. A. E. Could further support general haftar sudanese officials deny the report there learn and then leave you if you had a part of the u. A. E. Is playing a role bigger than its size by its constant interference in the affairs of a number of arab countries we need to consider that we in libya are in a state of war against the u. A. E. The United Arab Emirates was also out on wednesday in Human Rights Watch report for a drone strike on a biscuit factory near tripoli in november 8 civilians were killed in the 30 wounded this is not the 1st time that it appears the us is firing from drones in libya at targets with disregard for civilians last year general have to include ramadan the month of jihad this year its the month of peace with their own not his cease ation of a still if hes lost his ambitions to control libya fully remain shelob alice. Just a little update there weve heard from the Foreign Ministry statement condemning turkish intervention in the libyan conflict and also praising the hafta for what it calls quote combating terrorism or get more with my hood up though i heard our correspondent in tripoli i guess the most important thing at this point mahmud is is this cease fire holding is that likely to hold. No commercial it does not seem to be holding but its never that nevertheless its quite on the front lines this morning but it does not mean the ceasefire is holding because military commanders with the government of National Accord to met last night and they. Come up with a decision that they are not accepting that ceasefire they say that half those forces immediately after the announcement of his folks man adam smadi of that station of hostilities have those forces that targeted the city of them silat with heavy weapons and then the Government Forces return to the fire with heavy. Fire. They say that the Government Military sources say that they cannot trust a half to us forces announcement they say that this could be a kind of attempt by have forces to try to gain time and try to regroup rearrange their plans specially after this setback they suffered the in the west of libya especially after they lost control of civil strategic cities along the highway linking the capital of tripoli to the borders now. The government of National Accord the military commanders with the government say that they cannot trust the have to when they announce one have to have to spokesman announces a cessation of hostilities because have to himself rejected the civil proposals of cease fire and end the past and the situation remains that very honest people. As you know. That have to the forces are targeting the Government Forces locations in the vicinity of the city of the horn of the measure of a stronghold for how sort of forces but meanwhile Government Force or government affiliated forces and the cells of libya are clashing those have to the forces in the around the city of. So it does not seem to be holding that cease fire or cessation of hostilities thank you for the update mahmoud of the one who is our correspondent in tripoli germany has banned the iranian bank Group Hezbollah and designated it a terrorist organization police are conducting Early Morning raids across the country they detained suspected members germany has been facing pressure from both israel and the United States to ban has been law this imports and senior Public Policy fellow an adjunct professor of journalism at the American University of beirut were told this raid actually shouldnt come as a surprise to hezbollah. Germany and all of europe have kept an eye on hezbollah and its allies on this members and its friends and this is something routine they had been banned the military wing of hezbollah had always been banned but now theyre looking at the social and cultural and Political Activities the interesting thing is that the news came with really no details so if you look at the news reports they say suspected or possible members or supporters and thats this hint that actually they evidence may be sent but we dont know so i think the important thing is to ask the germans to put the evidence out there in public if you have people in charitable groups in mosques and schools who are actually helping a group that is those are made as a terrorist group the thats important for people to know but if this is a political pressure game that the americans and the israelis are doing which is typical then thats a whole different ball game then that this is something that has been has dealt with for the last 15 years or so and it doesnt really impact them at all so the question is what happened recently to bring this about and this is something the german governments going to have to explain in the news ahead so they could be up to 16000. 00 layoffs as airplane manufacturer boeing sufferance through the effects of this pandemic.
