Areas of the capital near the Turkish Embassy after half towards tokyo about its involvement in the conflict and a father and son are arrested over the shooting death of an unarmed black man in the u. S. Which prompted a national outcry. So april is on track to be the worst month for u. S. Job losses ever as the coronavirus continues to take a terrible toll not just in the u. S. But a lot of world economies around another 3000000. 00 people filed for Unemployment Benefits in america last week it means were looking at a staggering 33 and a half 1000000 people making claims for support since late march when the shutdowns began elsewhere so bad news the u. K. With the bank of england expects economic output to shrink by 14 percent this year and unemployment. To rise to 8 percent the European Union its warned its bracing for a similar slump 7. 4 percent but china is reporting a different picture saying its exports actually rose in april for the 1st time this year as some of its factories reopen its the u. S. That was bracing for more bad news on friday when the overall unemployment figures released weve been looking at weekly and monthly ones until this point our White House Correspondent kimberly how could explain small one in 5 americans filing for Unemployment Insurance since march what we have now 33000000 and climbing really this is a nation that is bracing for an historic Unemployment Rate because essentially all of the jobs that we saw it really added to the u. S. Economy in the last decade have now been wiped out socially a 20 percent Unemployment Rate and you have to remember thats astonishing given the fact that it was just weeks ago 3. 5 percent previously which was a 50 year low. On to other news in the u. S. Justice department is dropping its case against president Donald Trumps 1st National Security advisor Michael Flynn the former general was fired in the early days of the trumpet ministration after he admitted lying to the f. B. I. About his contacts with russias ambassador to washington the details now from alan fischer in washington. During the trump president ial campaign general Michael Flynn often led the chants of look around him to the republicans opponent Hillary Clinton yes thats right. And he faced the very real prospect that would happen to him after he pled guilty of lying to the f. B. I. In recent weeks his new legal team insisted documents had been uncovered which suggested misconduct by f. B. I. Investigators no the Justice Department wants all charges dropped i didnt know that was happening at this moment i felt it was going to happen just by watching and seeing like everybody else does he was an innocent man he is a great gentleman he was targeted by the Obama Administration and he was targeted in order to try and take down a president and what theyve done is a disgrace and i hope a big price is going to be paid a big price should be paid 24 days as National Security adviser is the shortest ever remain in the important government post he resigned when confronted with evidence he lied about his contacts with the Russian Ambassador to the us that made him vulnerable to blackmail he also lied about his law being for the turkish government and the white house said hed lied to the Vice President his resignation was an issue of trust. Flynn and initially worked with the miller inquiry into russian collusion with the Trump Campaign to win a lighter sentence but last year he changed lawyers and took a more aggressive approach to Court Proceedings even though hed already pled guilty the decision to drop the case has left many legal experts surprised. It is appalling that somebody who actually pleaded guilty to 2 crimes is now walking away because the attorney general of the United States is deciding there isnt enough evidence to prosecute him i think that given the judges. Statements in this case all along judge Emmet Sullivan i think judge sullivan may have something to say about this sudden reversal going trump has hinted hes open to bringing Michael Flynn back into the administration a federal judge now has the final decision but it seems the legal case may be coming to an end the political fallout of the Justice Departments decision is only just beginning alan fischer ill just go to washington very pleased to have Karen Greenberg joining us on scott from new york now shes director of the center on National Security at Fordham University school of law karen thank you for your time i almost had to check myself when i heard this news earlier today because i thought hang on this is the man who admitted his guilt i mean what an extraordinary turnaround over a 3 year period its actually amazing what whats happening now and we still think we we are not going to be surprised by more deviations from normal practice but heres 2 to pressure the government the prosecutors to drop the charges well see what the judge does the judge still in theory has the final say hell probably go along with the department of justice but still this is a watershed moment this should be Big Questions now about the Justice Department shouldnt there under this attorney general bill bob because well these sort of things just didnt used to happen. Now this is an attorney general who uses his power expressly and and very openly to defend the president and in this part this particular presidency what that means is to insulate him from the kinds of accusations that have been swirling around him since before he took the office of president which have to do with the allegations of interference in the election on behalf of the russians and so much of what has happened in far under far as administration has been to keep documents from coming into public view to keep individuals from testifying in Congress Even with subpoena to to essentially protect. What the story is and the real question is will we ever know what this story is the one that muller tried to get some closure on and did not succeed in doing. You made the point that this is a watershed moment agree with you there but whats theres a concern you about the president it sets and actually what could it happen in however long donald trump has left in office ok so the thing that he is he is basing his the decision to drop the charges is that you say in that the f. B. I. Did not have the evidence to ask the question it asked which Michael Flynn lied about so in other words hes contesting the underlying material. It doesnt matter Michael Flynn still lied and when you see this kind of interference it means that there is something its a guess that there is something they really want to a protect and b i think this is a symbolic attempt a symbolic gesture to say look what we can do look what were willing to do last week. Attorney general barr asked for a reduction in the sentencing of roger stone and who knows what else is to come weve heard the rumor is that lynn may return to the administration who knows if thats true or not but the idea is were all powerful were the administration and were going to do what we want and weve seen this in other contexts weve seen it in the interference with immigration decisions that have been pending in the lower courts now received at the attorney general has just asked the Supreme Court to say that certain documents from the military ministration cannot be released but i think congress in their own redacted form so this is a its a very large story and when it gets to the point of actually interfering at this level with the ports it is a watershed moment extraordinary stuff isnt it Karen Greenberg thank you for your time we do appreciate it thank you. The u. S. Is reportedly removing patriot antimissile systems and other military assets from saudi arabia as it winds down the military build up that began when tensions with iran flared last year this is according to the wall street journal among the facilities affected will be Saudi Oil Installations the u.

In the sense that were and this is nothing to do with saudi arabia this has to do with other countries frankly much more we have the most powerful military in the world and some thoughts from samuel romani now a middle east analyst and regular contributor to both the Washington Post and Foreign Policy magazine he told us that withdrawal has more to do with saudi arabias Oil Price War with russia i think the idea and this is largely really. An ongoing saudi oil price for russia which indirectly relates us shale gas over the past several weeks is not a lot of pressure for our public and think its to eventually produce that on competition or actually in saudi arabia. I think the secondary factors could be the u. S. Needs you know we dont climb were darcys towards egypts immigration as tensions as lately china and also the belief that he ran it was something of a backfire and in syria is receiving your israeli air strikes its a military force in iraq in fracture and also deals with the combined impact of thank you and i would be very well right for the primary actor and hes a child and the weakness of iran a secondary tertiary that youre just i dont like in this new decision forces loyal to the libyan warlord Khalifa Haftar have shelled in central tripoli resulting in explosions near the turkish and italian embassies as well as a hotel after been trying to seize tripoli for more than a year now also he had issued a warning to turkey on thursday about its support for the u.

Is reportedly pulling out its Patriot Missile systems and other military assets from saudi arabia the wall street journal says washington is winding down the military buildup that began its tensions with iran last year. And the libyan war after is shelled central tripoli resulting in explosions near the turkish and the talian embassies has been trying to seize the capital for more than a year now. Now a developing story from the u. S. A father and son in the state of georgia have been arrested and charged with the murder of an unarmed black man their family. He was out jogging when he was confronted by the 2 white men who thought he was a burglar more on this with Andy Gallacher in miami now and when you look at the video its hard to believe that this hasnt happened already just bring us up to date with whats happening. Well this is a story which is strangely this 35 2nd mobile phone video changed everything so we have to back up a bit to get things into context maad or bree was killed on february the 26 almost 2 and a half months ago and the case went to 3 different prosecutors 2 of whom recused themselves because one of these 2 men Gregory Mcmichael was a former Police Detective who worked into these offices and the 3rd prosecutor said this has to go to a grand jury then that mobile phone video that weve all seen at this point was released the governor of georgia said this was horrific joe biden the former Vice President said it reminded him of a lynching and then youve got all sorts of protests going on in the state of georgia now armada obree was a regular runner a sportsman a former Football Player who was simply jogging through that local neighborhood but the father and son thought or believed he was a burglar so they both arm themselves one with a shotgun the other one with a pistol and decided to go in hot pursuit after this 25 year old unarmed man who was wearing running clothes and you can see in the video that the model bree tries to get around them tries to avoid them and then the shots are fired and he falls to the street and dies from 3 gunshot wounds allegedly fired by Travis Mcmichael the son of the former Police Detective and now across the political spectrum even up to President Trump this is being viewed as a very contentious case a lot of the prosecutors in this part of georgia are being criticized but they have now been arrested both father and son and charged with murder the 3rd prosecutor said this was going to go to a grand jury which would have convened until perhaps june because of all the current restrictions but a horrific story that has now taken on an entirely different dimension i think specifically because of this 35 2nd video that everyone is now seeing shades of Trayvon Martin isnt it young black man who was shot in think it was florida actually back in in 2012 unfortunately in america we have seen this before. Yeah i mean i covered the Trayvon Martin story on the Michael Brown story but the Trayvon Martin story really does have echoes of what happened here because George Zimmerman the selfappointed Neighborhood Watch captain used something called stand your ground law to defend himself and he was ultimately found innocent of gunning down 17 year old Trayvon Martin and these 2 men are using a similar lower in georgia a citizens arrest law but in order for that law to work they have to have witnessed someone committing a crime that didnt happen allegedly in this case but im no doubt that they will use that as a defense but its clearly something that has really sparked interest across this country of course after the those 2 other killings we were talking about the black lives of movement was really born and youre seeing protests now all across the country and really outrage that the prosecutors in this state didnt take action it took the video to come out to people like joe biden and the governor of georgia getting involved and even President Trump saying this is a very sad case and he expects a full report in the near future thank you for the updates and he can occur in miami where there are signs the European Union is preparing to reopen its borders several countries of individually been easing coronavirus instructions to various degrees a tricky strategy though the summit tourism season approaches with this report.

Well in the austrian capital vienna so popular in both summer and winter with German Tourists the chancellor said his country would reopen both to germany and to the Czech Republic its in turn said it was reopening to croatia in contact we are in contact with these countries and we want the borders reopened because when its possible to drive from salzburg to terrell and from terrell to solve without an increased infection risk and the same is true for salzburg to bavaria out of area to solve or vice versa it doesnt make any sense to uphold borders which hinder people but dont offer more protection while countries like the u.
