Network in the philippines ordered to shut down after a lengthy dispute with the president we go to turkey. Now and santa how much snow have all the sporting clytie the n. F. L. Cancels its games in london in mexico city for the coming season because of the global pandemic. So that one of the toughest coronavirus lockdowns in asia is to be eased even further hong kong chief executive kerry lamb says cinemas and bars can reopen later this week or secondary schools will restart later this month a lockdown was imposed in march there have been no new domestic infections for 2 weeks elsewhere though the u. K. Is still in the grip of the pandemic it now has the highest number of deaths in europe and russia has reported more than 10000 new infections for the 3rd day in a row worldwide more than a quarter of a 1000000 people have died this is the. Hopkins University Track eye you can see the number of deaths and there you have the total number of cases around the world 3600000 confirmed cases around the globe all right well get more on the situation in the u. K. From general whos in london but 1st country to you has more on what measures hong kong is relaxing. The government and kerry lamb said that they were very confident that hong kong had stabilized its corona Virus Outbreak enough to be able to ease some of those very strict measures that have been in place for weeks so starting from this friday groups of up to 8 people will be able to gather in public and theyll be able to eat together for example in restaurants previously that maximum group number was for also some key venue some key businesses will finally be able to reopen that includes jims cinemas and tears has some balls as well as beauty parlors and finally they also announce some opening dates for schools which many families have been looking forward to so starting from may 27th older High School Kids will be able to attend school but they wont be all at once Younger High School students as well as primary School Students will be able to resume classes from the beginning of june and now this follows weeks of corn a virus cases in hong kong dwindling in fact in the last 16 days there have been 0 new local infections the have been some imported cases but there have been very few in the Single Digits if any on some days and it also follows months of real real economic battering that hong kong has seen the the economy in hong kong declined in its 1st quarter this year by about 9 percent compared to last year so the government was very keen to get the economy going again but its not quite out of the woods yet the government said that theyre going to give every hong kong citizen reusable mask that theyre expected to wear when theyre out and about and some businesses including night clubs karaoke clubs as well as saunas and bath houses will remain closed for at least another 2 weeks and thats the situation hong kong lets get the view from United Kingdom and german hold joins us from london to those figures out today putting u. K. Deaths the highest in europe a lower me statistics on there but you have to be careful how you read the. Yeah its quite difficult to draw these direct comparisons between countries as you say it appears now that the u. K. Has death toll has surged ahead of italys making it the worst affected country in europe but there are factors that affect countries differently the u. K. Has a higher population italy has an older population there are differences in the way these tallies a calculated it was only last week that the official u. K. Death toll looked beyond merely hospital deaths and started looking at deaths in the Community Deaths in care homes as well it isnt clear whether the italian figures and to what extent take into account suspected deaths in the way that the onus numbers do so if the numbers by direct comparison dont tell us all that much what they do though is fuel questions which are being asked here almost every day of the government now or quite why this country appears to have been so ill prepared for this epidemic having had a good couple of weeks to look at with horror at the time of course what was happening in italy a country that had far less time to prepare and also a wider questions about quite why western countries in general in europe and in the United States were far less prepared or appear to be than Asian Countries take south korea for instance after all of this only recording just in excess of 250 deaths from coronavirus so they feel all the questions they dont necessarily provide very much and where violence is raw its a very high number whether the British Public know a canal for light at the end of the tunnel. Well the British Public are looking and listening all the time to pronouncements from government in the Daily Briefing and elsewhere from scientists and so on about when and it might be appropriate to start lifting the lockdown that speed in place in this country and others there looking of course at the reproductive rate of the infections from cocoa covered 19 looking for that to remain below one this famous our figure the number of people that carriers with corona virus infect it is currently below one but not sufficiently below want to give them much wiggle room but theres an enormous amount of pressure from industry for business on the government to restart the economy the war is that if you go too far down the road in terms of saving lives you end up going too far down the road in terms of being able to save the economy and that ultimately that causes more problems than it helps down the line so theyre looking for a light at the end of the tunnel it isnt clear to answer your question quite where that light lies we will know in a few days time when the government gives an idea of how we will start to gradually lift the lockdown if not necessarily when our agenda thanks very much jane hall there in london for more than a week now russia has been top of the list in europe the number of new daily infections some young galperin is the head of the Doctors Defense League in moscow and he says the Russian Health system has suffered setbacks in recent years. I would get like calls from. Doctors from different cities from different parts of russia and everywhere we have a lot of problems there not a lot. Of hospitals there not. Enough. Doctors we dont have enough medicine we dont have enough equipment actually all these is a result of the reforms been. Performed in russia in the past 5. 8 years it cold like optimisation during this her ear then been lost money hospitals like even in. Moscow that will last about one half of our hospitals and we dont have these for know if the situation being happened like 10 or 20 years ago it was it would be much easier to resolve this problem. South korea is further easing lockdown restrictions with sports leagues getting underway again the baseball season is up and running after being perspire and in march but as robert pride reports from engine it will be some time before its business as usual. The final warm up for the long awaited start of the delayed baseball season local incheon favorites s. K. Y. Vns take on visitors and why eagles but conspicuously absent from the stands their fans instead many of the seats occupied by printed versions of spectators while real fans could only watch on t. V. Or online through a club stream that combines the action in the park with the cheering in homes. Pinion to look. We are hoping to deliver some of the atmosphere of the stadium to the fans at home so they feel as though they are here at the game. Theyre also joined by potentially millions of baseball fans around the world as the 3rd ranked baseball playing nation after the u. S. And japan south koreas live games are in big demand in a world starved of live sports action. But we welcome the increased attention on korean baseball its great to promote it and its all thanks to our citizens for getting us to this stage south koreas success so far in defeating the coronavirus is also allowing the football k. League to start its season later this week but again without fans in another sport for which large cheering crowds seem indispensable so crowds are important because there they are part of what we expect when we go to see a game or when we watch a game the noise the tension the drama the anxiety the happiness the emotion this is this is not driven by empty stadiums this is driven by force. Stadiums south koreas baseball teams hope to start adding the essential fan name gradient soon even when the fans are finally allowed back in itll still be a long time before we see pakistans again their numbers will increase only gradually with empty seats between them and for now their silent stand ins will have to do and when they do return theyll find previously unheard of precautions for the players such as no hugging and no spitting the way baseball is played and the way its watched is turning into a very different game Robert Bright aljazeera incheon south korea.

Reporting from tripoli lets move to some other news in the philippines leaving broadcaster has been ordered to shut down the telecoms all 30 says that a. B. S. License has expired a president roderigo to turkey has regularly criticized the network opposition groups accuse him of targeting independent media. If you will and theyre going to is in the capital manila and has the details. The seasoned deceased order according to the National Telecommunications commission is immediately executor and thats something that the department of justice secretary also said however based on local interviews with the commissioners of n t c it remains to be seen how exactly he is going to implement that whether theyre going to need the help of Law Enforcement to come in and actually literally physically stop the network from airing the letter was received officially this afternoon a. B. A c. B. And continues to air today and this is a complete turnaround from what he said a few months ago that it may issue a provisional authority to e. B. s pending its approval of the extension of its franchise in congress now the spokesperson of president d of the go that theyre due for the past few months of said that the president has nothing to do with this although last year the president himself threatened that he will shut down a. B. A c. B. S. Because of the Networks Failure to air his president ial campaign ads in 2016 now this is seen as a major blow to press freedom according to rights experts here they see this is the time when the biggest Media Network in the country would substations across the country is needed for information dissemination of the current pandemic and the situation in the country now the spy denials from the Philippine Government experts also say that this is seen as an impervious curtailment of press freedom and also spawned by political retribution of this government to iran which continues to be the coronavirus hold support of the middle east but its joining global efforts to fund covert 19 scientists are working on developing testing kits that could be ready for export within months it comes as there are growing signs of recovery in iran with daily deaths falling to the lowest level in weeks and as robbie has this report. In laboratories like this all over the world scientists are trying to answer the same questions. How can covert 1000 be stopped is there a cure when will this Global Crisis be over at the Pasteur Institute into one iranian experts are working with chinese colleagues to try and improve testing for the virus something that has been a challenge since the early days of the outbreak so im coming here. Just to have a 10 to. Condense on training and know how to use a test because you would seem all right out here for the testing would you please stop im sorry our interview with a visiting expert was cut short by security i mean i mean you know about the government here has been criticised for responding too slowly to the pandemic and it seems officials and remain sensitive about anything related to its coronavirus response. Set up in 1920 the campus into herat is named for french scientist louis customer a 19th century pioneer of modern medicine this institute runs dozens of labs and employs hundreds of staff across the country the government Hopes Research and development here will enable iran to export diagnostic kits and medical equipment this facility is nearly 100 years old and one of the largest of its kind in the middle east for years scientists in these kinds of labs have been fighting all manner of diseases Infectious Diseases and now their priority the inescapable priority for these men and women is to try to find a way to fight code 19 why is the virus more severe in some patients does it mutate and can survivors develop immunity. Answers to these questions in the discovery of a vaccine in a place named after a pioneer in the field would be an Outstanding Achievement and the head of the institute made it clear that is the ambition. We are working on producing the Technical Knowledge for a vaccine and focusing on medicine and treatment to see which medicine could be a good candidate for curing the disease but on the day of our visit irans president was more god. In an address to his cabinet house and rouhani was clear there have been no breakthroughs social distancing is the best policy and everyones in this for the long haul. But i know about face on the assumption that the us i mean unfortunately remained these people for some time and nobody knew of or can predict when this epidemic be days weeks or months you have to have the house protocols of continuing Work Production and activities. Of course on all comes to corona people have to be general there is no treatment no medication or vaccine for it so the fundamental thing is to be careful about ourselves while finding a cure is the end goal testing is also important last month the revolutionary guards unveiled a handheld device they said was capable of detecting an infected person from 100 meters away but its effectiveness was criticized and Irans Health Ministry did not approve it for use with no easy fixes scientists to carry on with their research how to end the pandemic remains an open question and they intend to find the answer. To her own well as the number of new cases begins to drop in some countries qatar is still recording hundreds of new infections every day and now has the 2nd highest number of cases in the arab world despite having a relatively small population. As a Public Health minister that is thought to one on 100 of quality he says that most other countries havent tested enough to know the full extent of their outbreaks. Number of cases has gone up but thats only natural and i believe that actually its a result of our very strong testing measures so as youve seen we are testing a lot and cut out so weve been testing approximately 40000. 00 per 1000000 so thats question if thats one of the highest rates of testing and and that reflects a true picture of whats happening in terms of infection rates so the rates are not high theyre realistic but you will find that a lot of countries at the end of their pandemic will realize that their curve actually looks like ours so if you see the number of cases and that are maybe high but theyre actually a mild cases so 93 percent of the cases are mild only one percent end up in i. C. U. And another 5 percent and up in the admitted in the hospital and thats actually quite a very quite a good rate to have in the country and thats because we are very active in seeking the cases were very active in finding cases tracing them late in the quarantining them and therefore managing their case and situation much better well you can watch the full interview with dr 100. 1630 g. M. T. On. Theres still a strong push to get back to business of the United States despite alarming new predictions on coronavirus casualties already it is the worst hit country with a 3rd of the worlds total cases but a report seen by the New York Times suggests the number of deaths each day will double by the end of the month to go home as more. The numbers are just hard to grasp a new assessment from the federal Emergency Management agency leaked to us media says the United States will have 200000. 00 new coronavirus cases every day by the end of this month and as many as 3000 dead every day by june 1st. But now the focus is on plans to reopen the economy california allowing some retail and manufacturing and new york making plans to move forward you open businesses 1st that are most essential and pose the lowest risk ok most essential and the lowest risk. Phase one were talking about construction manufacturing and select retail with curbside pick up they are the most essential with the lowest risk the u. S. Senate is back to work despite the fact that its doctor said it didnt have enough tests for the 100 senators they arent planning on taking up legislation just confirmations to executive posts and judges to the bench at the moment the republican leader has scheduled no significant covert related business for the floor of the senate tonight we will vote on the nomination to the Nuclear Regulatory commission while the senate isnt taking up a new relief package the Treasury Department is trying to find a way to pay for the last ones announcing it would borrow almost 3 trillion dollars and the Supreme Court went to work in a way that it has never done in its history honorable the chief justice and the associate justice the cream court of the united. O. U. Oh yeah oh yeah it heard arguments on the phone its expected to hear 10 cases over the next 2 weeks the country finding ways to move forward while acknowledging there will likely be a high price to pay for it patty calling al jazeera or judy is an associate Research Professor of microbiology and immunology at Georgetown University Medical Center and she says its still too risky to lift restrictions in the United States. A lot of governors and local leaders under tremendous pressure to let people go back to work and help the economy begin to recover beginning to relax those the social distancing measures while the number of cases in communities is actually still growing and before weve gotten the the Logistical Support the planning and the decisions in place to make sure that people have access to testing so until we can make sure that we have access to testing and the ability to trace the contacts of people who are infected and make sure that we can isolate those who are infected and quarantine those who are potentially exposed then any move forward to relax those those distancing measures carries a significant risk that will see infections take off again in those communities and thats what those models were seeing a really was letting that that concern that were going to see cases surge as measures to prevent exposures are relaxed with nothing else really in clase to to even be able to monitor whats happening in israel the leaders of local councils in arab towns are going to strike with the money compensation for revenue lost as a result of the credit for a pandemic or a force it has more now from table. This is a National Problem across israel local governments have had a huge shortfall in what they would usually expect to take in in terms of local taxes because of the businesses shuttering under the coronavirus restrictions but leaders of palestinian israeli minister parties such as this one say that they arent being compensated to the same extent under a Government Program as big or jewish majority areas in israel is an 800000000. 00 Compensation Scheme from the interior ministry but areas such as this one say theyre only getting in total some 30000000. 00 of that and they say thats just not enough but that the attilla be billeted talked about this is why we ask them to deal with the arab sector that lacks resources hundreds of thousands of people are under the poverty line therefore we ask them to increase funding to cover 25 percent of our losses in one sense these palestinian israeli areas of israel are victims of a mathematical logic that the biggest economies the biggest cities the majority jewish theyre the ones that have had the biggest tax losses and are therefore getting the biggest compensation payments from the government but the palestinian israeli mayors and council eaters say that its evidence of a longer term problem that theyre areas that had chronic underinvestment in their economies over many years and that is one reason why there is a higher level of poverty and that they require high levels of support as a result the Israeli Interior Ministry tells us that it does ignore leads but the compensation offered so far doesnt solve the problems for towns such as this one that they are offering other means of support and that they are looking in to further Financial Assistance as israel starts to ease itself from its coronavirus restrictions or i were going to move on to the weather now and has jenny is right a hot spot should the United States is not a guess about every type of weather you will need care you asked for it theyre pretty good at somewhere but let me start 1st of all with the sort of weather you probably dont really want to see night you see this massive cloud across the Northern Plains pushing to the midwest training back into the southeast. This is being responsible for a lot of weather 1st a look at this this massive hail storm in south dakota this is actually the last a past weekend on sunday so the cold air was in place and now look at this the pictures on great but just have a lot you got many construction workers actually on this roof as this storm came through in nashville in tennessee one man actually fell back into the house and then across into missouri it looks like a river or a lake but of course its not his lips chilled water on the carpet being blamed by these really strong ferocious winds sites ranchi say there is more of this in the forecast not really the heaviest of the worst is going to be across the eastern seaboard pushing towards the carolinas that also still warnings in place but the temperatures to the south and across into Central Plains theres not such a huge difference in a moment so we shouldnt see these tremendous thunderstorms that produce the tornadoes they can see the rain train back in the southern areas of texas but at the same time we have got these excessive heat warnings in place the to cross into southern areas of california and across into arizona look at this over the next few days up to 35. 00 celsius in los angeles the average amaze 23. 00 itll stay home for the next few days and believe it or not nick that next system you can see pushing into the Northern Plains that is going to bring snow to the rockies and eventually into the Central Plains in the next 2 is all happening it is jamie but you are much ok still ahead here on aljazeera that sinking feeling we talk to people struggling to stay afloat through one of pakistans most popular tourist but. Lets find out whats up cruise 1st couple of doing so at this live video game. And this little star in germanys top division that finds himself in hot water would explain why a little bit later in the program. As the world fights the corona time damage were learning more about this every day its a new join our Global Community its up to us on how we come together to fight. Im sorry your question can i just im just going to see directly thats coming on on you tube as youre saying im concerned about the fact like oh nothing very quiet and not keeping you up to date im using countries between back and beaten back successfully the stream on 00. When the news breaks the dumping of garbage in the river by the government has wrecked our lives when people who need to be heard and the story needs to be told to many coming to this place of the only chance they have to eat at least once a day with exclusive interviews and indepth reports for obvious reasons as the world battled them from endemic well bring you the latest developments from around the globe aljazeera has ground to a new mood leading documentaries and life. Or. Are you watching her mind about top stories into one of the toughest coronavirus like downton asia will be eased even further hong kongs chief executive carrie lamb says schools can reopen later this month along with some businesses cinemas and bars. In libya is internationally recognised government has launched an offensive to capture an air base controlled by war in for half the a what is being used to launch air strikes from Government Forces in. The philippines leaving broadcaster has been ordered to shut down Telecoms Authority says it a. B. S. C. B. S. License has expired president roderigo to turkey has regularly criticized the network as take this story on we can speak now to Pierre Renate who is a reporter at rappler an online news web sites in the philippines joins us on skype from manila pierre welcome to the program so the president. Has long been critical of the station but what it says in your view has inspired this latest move. Oh i think its actually been a series of moves against different Media Outlets and we know that even a c b n in fact that there has been actively covering the press a bit and and also been very critical of this drug war are very critical of his policies and this has actually see that since the president ial campaign and when 16 and ever since then the precedent has just had to be full of several Media Outlets earlier in his presidency it started with our News Organization grappler and then finally its come to a head with this order against e. C. B. N. And to what degree has the channel and indeed other organizations meter organizations been critical of the governments policy of a coronavirus. For example weve been covering religiously the president s press briefings weve also been tracking the governments actions on locking down their regions all over the country also how soon or how leave they were able to issue travel bans in certain parts of the world to prevent the the curve the prevent the spread of the virus so in that sense its a be a c. B. S. Has been instrumental in covering. The government response and also the impact of the virus on people covering people stories people who arent able to go to work people who are hampered by the government decisions and Big Government protocols on transportation bill or on livelihoods so all this time all Media Outlets have been religiously covering this issue and its just such a surprise that in the middle of the spend them if we suddenly have this bomb exploding on all of us it just came out of nowhere because the government had repeatedly gave given assurances that it would not it would issue a provision for a. B. C. B. N. To continue operations while its franchise is being debated on this is very troubling is that it is it is it going to reshape how you go on to report how you decide to do stories you think. Thats mostly i think this move has cast a cloud over many Media Outlets obviously its a kind of message that were hearing loud and clear that if you continue to cover the e. B. s c. B. S. Has covered or been critical of the administration then you risk this kind of action being done to your knees organization or the u. S. An individual journalist so its us a very big threat because obviously lots of journalists this is a livelihood for all of us and maybe a c. B. S. Hired over 11000 people and its a big blow to other labor sector as well because obviously these are a lot of workers who depend on the continued operations of this network. Absolute i think its about 11000 workers there on the what about the public at large how do they respond to this kind of move from the government. The response has been overwhelming yes just wave after wave of people for example recalling how they grew up with the b. C. B. And you know this network has been with the country since the 1960 s. And it was with us when when our government when our country called the dictatorship of precedent for it had marcos us so its got a huge big brand it has its was a lot of sentimental value to filipinos and especially now with the coronavirus epidemic where people are children into Media Outlets day in and the out and never has there been a time when a. B. C. B. N. And other media organizations have been relevant to peoples lives very much shit priest if your perspective on this period thanks very much indeed this pew renate reporter at rappler germanys top court has ruled that the European Central bank muslim its involvement in an e. U. Stimulus program complainants only cute that the purchases were unconstitutional when it came his move from berlin and what impact this ruling will have. The case was brought by people who argue that the e. C. B. Activity in buying government bonds over the past several years was something it really should not be doing and the they would mainly german complainants there are arguments was that the german constitution did not allow money from the bundestag thats the German Federal bank to be used for such activities now the ruling from the Constitutional Court backs that up to a certain extent and effectively says that what the e. C. B. Has done is potentially beyond the constitution of germany the point about the significance of this is that it represents theres something in this ruling as it were for everyone because the blunder spank the federal bank of germany now can examine this ruling and it effectively has to decide over the course of the next 3 months whether it feels that what the e. C. B. Does what the e. C. Explanations are for the activity its being doing are acceptable and if it believes that it is then then things can carry on as they were however the problem comes if the under spanked the people in charge of the bonus bank see what the European Central bank has been doing as not being acceptable as being unconstitutional well then that becomes a much greater problem for the e. U. For the eurozone.

Scientists in chile have developed a test that could help diagnose coronavirus patients early and for a fraction of the price one of the symptoms of 19 is the loss of the sense of smell now university has developed in a room a test kit a lot of america to see in human history. The sweet aroma of a flower a pleasure made possible by our sense of smell which is also one of our least used senses thats why scientists were late to catch on that in estimated 80 percent of people who present no obvious symptoms of coronavirus in fact have partial or total unknowns mia many of them have experience in just a most.
