Accusations of slavery see indonesia demands answers off the deaths of fishermen working on chinese boats. And a new ships remembrance loci commemorations take place to mark the 75th anniversary of the end of the 2nd world war. We begin in the u. S. Where unemployment skyrocketed in april saying the biggest spike in close to 90 years more than 20000000. 00 jobs gone in the month of april alone has coronavirus lockdowns. The economy of the Unemployment Rate has tripled to 14. 7 percent with no sign of slowing down this is already worse than the socalled Great Recession that followed the 2008 financial crisis and its a new post war record which was previously set in 982 when the Unemployment Rate hits nearly 11 percent and is no exaggeration to say this is the worst crisis for the u. S. Economy since the Great Depression when unemployment hit 25 percent a White House Correspondent joins me now live kimberly a lot about 1st so lets talk about those unemployment figures this is not at all going to be what president wants to hear. No its certainly not is not the kind of news President Trump wants to hear bear with me because weve got a bit of a gossip happening obviously here at the white house but what i can tell you is that you know certainly this is not what donald trump wanted to hear in terms of these numbers but they werent unexpected either in fact the white house had ready his team to try and combat these negative headlines saying that in fact these were numbers that they expect the 1st 3 quarters of the year are expected to be bad but that they believe that it will 2 get improve as time goes on now this is a president that is running for reelection so of course what they want is for things to get better but we know thats not going to happen in time for the election. Larry kudlow the president s Economic Advisor said that he believes that this is something that is temporary in nature but what i can tell you is in terms of the jobs lost yes some of them may be temporary some of the may come back but theyre not going to come back as quickly as they disappeared in other words this was something that happened in a matter of weeks but it could take months or years for the rebound ok. Give me a minute there stay with us though because in the last hour donald trump has been speaking at the white house and he gave a very strong prediction about coronavirus deaths in the u. S. Take a listen. What i can say is if we did it the different way if we when heard if we just said lets wing it we would have been talking about numbers that would have been unsustainable and unacceptable you look on the screens you look on television today and you see. Body bags and you see mass graves and we may be talking about 95000 people ultimately we may be talking about something more than that. Ok kimberly so quite a dire prediction there from donald trump how does that compare to what weve heard estimates before in terms of how many deaths we might expect. Well this is notable because i initially and this works into the context of this economic story because at one point the number of deaths was projected 2000000 this is why donald trump says he had to close this historically good economy because we have to remember Unemployment Rates were at a 50 year low just you know a couple of months ago but the projections for the number of deaths 2000000 and so thats why this action was taken but then with social distancing things started to get better and so this projection in terms of the number of deaths was downgraded to around 60000 but obviously over the weekend that number came and went and so since then the administration has been sort of cautious about where things are going to land this is the 1st time really that weve heard the president kind of put a really hard number out there but he has been reluctantly acknowledging that its not going to be 60000. 00 and he more obviously the its going to be much higher even around 800000 the president doesnt want to hit that 100000 dollars one 100000. 00 deaths mark but at the same time when youre talking about reopening the economy is your only solution to bringing back jobs that brings about risk and of course that brings about more deaths and we should point out in the midst of all of this the White House Press secretary caylee mcenaney confirming were talking about risks that another member of the president ial team this time an assistant to the Vice President has tested positive for covert 19 this of course comes just days after we know that in fact the president had one of his very close assistants also test positive now one more headline from kelly machinating briefing was the real news about the department of justice dropping that case against former National Security advisor Michael Flynn this is significant because donald trump has long railed against the f. B. I. For this investigation saying that really flynt was targeted in order to bring down his presidency heres what killing back in it he had to say. The very day that the then f. B. I. Director jim comi sent agents to the white house to interview flynn the f. B. I. Discussed what their intent was beforehand this is what they said what is our goal truth and mission or to get him to lie so we can prosecute him or get him fired these notes in addition to other evidence raise serious questions about the handling of that of the f. B. I. s handling of Michael Flynns case did the f. B. I. Confront flynn with the intent to get him to lie so that we can prosecute him and fire him did the f. B. I. Manufacture a crime against Lieutenant General Michael Flynn. Now its important to point out that Michael Flynn did plead guilty to lying to the f. B. I. But the argument that the white house is now trying to make is this was a carefully crafted case against the former National Security adviser in essence theyre arguing entrapment to the u. S. President for his part saying that the generals that hero an American Hero this never should have happened it should never happen to this country again in just the last few moments the White House Press secretary underscoring those points tweeting the f. B. I. And exist to investigate crimes but in the case of Michael Flynn it seems to exist to manufacture one can really help that theyre wrapping a lot of headlines today and doing so in the midst of the elements thank you thats complete. Were all most unemployment numbers out of the u. S. We can speak now to Barry Eichengreen he is a professor of economics at the university of california berkeley thank you for your time we are making all of these comparisons with the Great Depression how do those comparisons stack up in your opinion and what lessons could we learn from that time now. The unemployment numbers stack up directly with what happened in the 1930 s. I read todays releases indicating that the actual underlying Unemployment Rate today in the United States is 25 percent if you include discouraged workers no longer actively looking for a job and workers who are misclassified as not at work for other reasons theyre really unemployed swell 25 percent which is where were at now is as high as unemployment rose in 933 at the trough of the Great Depression so it took them 4 years to get there it took us more like 6 weeks does that mean we come out the other side foster as well the law or what do you see the recovery looking like theres one Silver Lining you have to look very hard to find it a lot of people reported that they had been furloughed from work rather than laid off permanently so they expect with some probability that theyll be able to go back to their previous employment and were going to have to see number one whether they feel the safe about going back and number 2 whether their employer feels safe about opening up historically were able to bring the Unemployment Rate down by one or 2 Percentage Points a year after its shot up like this so that indicates were in for a long haul that is a very long recovery what lessons do you think of that we could learn from how is dealt with the Great Depression what what lessons could we be taking on today. Well they did a lot of the things that that we have built on this time around they established Unemployment Insurance and we have extended Unemployment Insurance they established the modern welfare state and we have expanded it with 12 100. 00 checks the other thing they did was Public Employment through the work Works Progress administration. Construction publicly funded Construction Projects and the like we need people to trace social contacts we need Infrastructure Investment there are a lot of up potentially productive workers young people in particular who i think could be grafted into these activities as they were in the ninetys. This is kind of an aside it is victory day victory in europe day today and a lot of people are calling this the pandemic were calling this a war what are the parallels they you see not just economically but societal they psychologically. Well i think psychologically there is an obvious tension between those who think and feel that were all in it together the reaction to the blitz in london in the early 1940 s. And others whose response is every man and woman for him and herself i think we see both instincts in in war time house well but i think in many societies the dominant reaction was that were all in that together the state needs to do more and so as a society we need to more as well hopefully thats the reaction that will dominate this time around as well coming back to the economy why havent or have we say you know why havent we seen the big stimulus measures that were announced by the Trump Administration having an impact i mean they were unprecedented huge amounts of money set aside to try and help businesses and yet were seeing unprecedented amounts of people becoming jobless well much of the money that has gone out the door has gone to people simply to repeat replace the paychecks that have stopped enabling them to put food on the table and maybe hopefully also pay the rent but they dont put people back to work and they wont until its safe for business open up again so thats a reminder that fiscal stimulus is not enough this time around its not even the most important thing the most important thing is safety and that means testing tracing quarantining and ultimately a vaccine thank you for your time well have to leave it there that is professor of economics at the university of california berkeley Barry Eichengreen. Canadas Unemployment Rate has also shot up to 13 percent in april has locked down restrictions stalled the economy around 2000000. 00 jobs want dumped last month the majority in the province of quebec its the worst rate the country has seen since the recession of 982. 00 the government said most of the newly unemployed workers were only temporarily laid off. Last 2900000000. 00 in the 1st 3 months of the year the companys been hit hard by a pandemic lockdowns with rides down by 80 percent in april still saw a rise in revenue compared to a year ago helped by its food Delivery Business a large share of the loss was a rundown of some of its investments the company had already announced it was cutting 3700 full time jobs earlier this week. To russia which is rapidly becoming a new hotspot in the Global Pandemic for 6 days in a row new cases have gone up by more than 10000 and moscows marrows warning the number of infections is far higher than official figures saw ballasts as more. Russian police and Fire Fighters patrolled the streets with instructions observe the corone teen take care of yourself and stay home as countries around the world start to open up much of russia is closing down case numbers have escalated to put it in the top 5 of the world with more than 177000 cases but most goes mia fears it may be even worse by the year for according to straining studies the entire number of infections in moscow ranges from 252300000 thats 3 times the official figure there could be a modest budget at the neighborhood where we have to toughen the requirements for travelling through the city and for the symmetry protection of people starting may 12th they will be strict measures for using public transport and masks and gloves will be compulsory and public places. Moskos 11000000 residents will be allowed to leave home for essential services only with restrictions extended into the end of may the only exceptions affect trees of construction sites of which many will become medical facilities prefabricated clinics are being built next to 13 mosco hospitals and other getting urgent extensions moskos all russian exhibitions seem to is also being transformed into a Field Hospital before but when there is that here we will have patients of moderate severe itching we will not host seriously ill patients they will go to actual hospitals with more sophisticated and treats of care a quick matter to. Russia had avoided the exponential growth seen in other countries in the last week of march. It had 1000 total cases is italy in the u. S. So past 100000 prison pollution seen troops to help initially now the needed at home. I think russia should be proud because when europe and the whole world was struck by the code 19 pandemic you came to lend us a helping hand and not surprisingly russia has had some of the problems and this is admirable its all hands to the front line is russias battle against coronavirus as well and truly arrived shallop ballasts. Maria lebanon is a senior associate of the institute for European Russian and eurasian studies at George Washington university she says the real concern for russia is when the virus moves into the provinces which arent as wealthy and health care isnt as well equipped. All countries of the world or nearly all were unprepared for this pandemic i would point out however. The number of deaths in russia or is relatively low compared to the number of those infected and the official authorities are telling russians that actually the right is a number of infections is the effect of the growing number of testing. So it remains to be seen of course but in the other thing about russia that should be borne in mind is that over half of those infections in over half of deaths are in moscow which is russias largest city but also the wealthiest place in russia and a place where Health Care Quality is the highest where doctors are the best hospitals are more equipment is more state of the art and protective gear is not in shortage to the extent that it might be elsewhere so moscow mary sounds confidence in the grave cases is not growing anymore and passed but also are not yet overwhelmed whether or not which should necessarily believe everything this or it is a saying is an open question but it should be remembered that we may be in for a worse crisis when the epidemic moves to the provinces full force italy is now the 3rd country to record more than 30000 covered 908 deaths and the need caves mean more than 600 deaths in the past day pushing the total beyond 31000 environment secretary george used to says while the Prime Minister will announce a change to lock down measures on sunday they wont be drastic. We have to be realistic that there isnt going to be any dramatic overnight change we will be very very cautious as we loosen the restrictions we have as the data that were outlining on a daily basis shows we are not out of the woods there are still major challenges with this virus we will be living with this virus for some time to come and its therefore important to avoid that 2nd peak that could overwhelm our n. H. S. That we exit and evolve these restrictions very very carefully. Plenty more head on the news are a clue to. The band then he continues to unleash should tsunami of aid to settle for. A call from solidarity with growing racism links to the Global Pandemic. National outrage now the arrests in the us of a father and son accused of shooting an unarmed black man who was talking. To former u. S. Serviceman will appear in a Venezuelan Court charged with attempting to overthrow the government there among 31 people accused of treason after a failed vision earlier this week in america and its soon yemen has been following the story she joins us now live from santiago in chile so i believe with heard from the prosecutor general while what if they had to say. We have heard from him he went to on a quite a rampage of describing how badly the United States treated its Political Prisoners in iraq but they say he spoke specifically about the abu ghraib prison where he says it happened that the United States servicemen tortured arabs and he said how would you or the american servicemen like to be treated like that we dont do that sort of thing they will be treated humanely. That is that has been absolutely question by others in the past that the venezuelan government mistreats in fact according to human rights organizations its prisoners but the whole point here was that the prosecutor general william siad was trying to say that these prisoners will not be tortured they will not be mistreated and they will be given a fair trial. Excuse me he also said that on the list of people that the government is charging our people who are at large one of them is j. J. Aaron dawn he is president rather. Opposition leader one why dollars as a political strategist and who was allegedly one of the people who signed a contract with these socalled mercenaries to go into venezuela to overthrow the government i spoke to her and then just a short while ago he says hes very proud to be on this most wanted list of the government he does that say that he did sign a preliminary agreement back in october that the people that were trying to put together this incursion force and that they realized very soon that it was absurd that it wasnt going to work and they disengage themselves from that and when i asked then why it went ahead anyway he says that its because this whole thing has been set up and is being paid for by the government in the meantime the prosecutor general said that there is another 20 people that they are now looking for and that they will also charge for treason for mercenary activities and along other list of crimes but he did not name one why the law the person who president Nicolas Maduro is calling the the ideological leader of this whole attempt to overthrow him. So listen we have on the one side madrid are saying these people were trying to overthrow the government and kill him and now were hearing from the other side that perhaps it was all set up by the door has even side presented evidence. Exactly this is becoming more and more tangled by the minute i would say 2 more people were arrested according to the defense minister earlier on today there is there are at least 33 people that have been detained so far and the government says it keeps picking up more but the opposition says this is just a ploy to crack down even further on the government and rather on the opposition and to isolate one waythe a lot of time when the country is a quantum is worse than ever and when its facing of course the problem of the coronavirus pandemic nobody really can prove one side or the other or rather its very difficult to decide now which of the 2 sides it is is not telling the truth but clearly somebody was infiltrated because president mother had said himself that he nor about this even before it happened in that he was waiting for this mercenary force to land and was waiting for them the moment that they touched the beach thank you for that that is a lesson that america editor you see in human. And the u. N. Secretary general says the covert 19 pandemic has a to a tsunami of hate xenophobia and so to go to this is now calling for Global Solidarity to combat the shift we must know to students and the nudity of all societies against the vitals of aids that is why i am appealing today for an all out effort to end aids speech globally i call on political leaders to show me their duty with all members of their societies and build a dream for social cohesion. Since the virus 1st emerged in the chinese city of rouhani the famed several instances of hate crimes against people of chinese or other asian descent in europe the us and in parts of asia while activists in the u. S. Say far right groups and why supremacists taking advantage of the Economic Uncertainty to recruit people and push racist propaganda about minorities online researches say the crisis is also fueling anti jewish sentiment in europe and in the u. S. And india muslims have been attacked being blamed for spreading the virus while in china africans have been abused and discriminated against fears of imported cases and a 2nd wave of infections well michael below which is from the center for research on prejudice at the university of warsaw and he says far right groups and politicians in some countries are deliberately stoking racial tensions. Interesting that are showing the increases of both anti jewish and anti roma. Prejudice prejudice direct that the words to. Minorities and religious minorities living in poland. In the times of corona virus. Epidemic i think it is always a means a political mobilisation that has been always used by people in defense and this is true also today we see that our right wing groups in extremist groups are gaining support by blaming certain minorities for immigrants for the epidemic and the moment that we heard the president of the United States saying that this is a chinese by rose was actually pointing to the and nick are National Character of the virus which is we know a very dangerous way of putting it the Word Health Organization wrote about these as the quran the pirates stigma that this is a very stigmatizing way of looking at things because after such a statement by a politician many individuals from asia will be victimized will be attacked by people who just followed this instigators. Police in georgia have on to do Everything Possible to punish those responsible for shooting an unarmed black man while he was out talking to family of very say he was confronted by 2 white men who say they thought he was a burglar on thursday Police Charged a father and son with murder charges come after a National Public outcry over the lack of action for the 2 months after the 25 year old was killed at gallica has mall. While this case is now being run by the Georgia Bureau of investigation remember its almost 2 and a half months since our model bree was shot and killed allegedly by these 2 men who believed he was a burglar before that to prosecutors offices recuse themselves from this case because one of the men suspected of killing him actually was a Police Detective who worked. In those offices and had relationships with those prosecutors so the family of mr are being very frustrated to say the least until at this viral video came out its about 35 seconds long it seems to have changed everything across the political spectrum across the pace of which this investigation is now moving at the governor of georgia thought it was a deeply disturbing video joe biden the former Vice President said it reminded him of a lynching so these 2 men Gregory Mcmichael and his son travis were arrested on thursday they wont be charged with hate crimes because hate crimes do not exist in the state of georgia and investigators also said as this investigation widens out there may be more developments but certainly this case is now moving at a pace that it wasnt before it basically came to a standstill it was almost being brushed under the carpet but we will see what happens next because any jury could take weeks or even months to convene because of the current restrictions across the United States there are concerns thousands of members of the tribe could be evicted due to a new mega city project in saudi arabia. Is a 500000000000. 00 project to build a futuristic city from scratch along the red sea part of the site is home to the who strive who are now facing eviction and these other signs that the mega city project is in trouble low oil prices could result in major budget cuts that will throw a wrench into the plan well. It is a saudi activist who joins us now from london thank you for your time we should also mention that this tribe member of this tribe was gunned down apparently after he refused to give up his land for the projects do you believe the kingdoms narrative on whats happening over this land and this tribe. You mean the operation to learn never to yes the official narrative a on well its still almost taken for granted that official never going to show you know he has never believed illicit is something which is not political or have no political. Flavor but anything which to do with human rights and anything to do with complicated the economic stories you would never believe the official statements now. By the way and the new report saying that to be addicted they have already been affected thousands of people have been taken out of their homes and radio were confiscated. Theres no rule of law there is no there is no system where there is a difference for people to to decide who the with. The government is doing is right or wrong so it is our royal decree that people leave your houses and then they have to be the houses and when i say royal i mean 100 missile man not the king himself. They were evicted for the area to be convinced created and to be to be a registered in the name of im a bit solomon and then to be sure to the street or millions of triodes and then they start the socalled new york project we should mention that Saudi Arabian Officials Say that this man who was shot had been shooting at Security Forces from the top of the building and that is what led to his death but even know if you are correct in what is happening i mean is anything going to stop this project from going ahead is anything going to stop this tribe from from losing their lands. They not only say that he was shooting they say he was wanted. When they prepared this lie they did not they were not cautious that this would be falsified easily because he appeared in a negotiation session on a video clip where you know there were some somebody who the president of the book the local governor was talking to the people in the tribe and there was a period of 3. To be arrested if he was wanted she was never wanted and he was you know were carried weapons he just went to the roof of his house and you are speaking to the criminals because on camera to. Through you through through direct streaming so actually my questions are even if even if you are there is you know even if this version of events is correct what im saying is is anything going to stop this this huge project this 500000000000. 00 project from from going ahead is anything going to stop this tribe from i mean i say doesnt mean that the confiscation of confiscation of the land will not be stopped in a d. G. And will take them down but will it make to be able to destroy their houses but the regime has no and i was no financial ability to build and was not able to convince International Investors to put money in this region and since the killing of the most of the international companies.
