A virtual vigil in the us for a black man shot dead while jogging in georgia after the rest of a father and son for murder. Welcome to the program for weeks weve seen lines at the food bank stretching for miles and job centers overwhelmed with people its given us a picture of how badly the u. S. Economy has been hit by cope with 19 but now we have the most concrete figure yet 14. 7 percent thats the Unemployment Rate for april which tripled from the month before to put it another way thats more than 20000000. 00 jobs gone for perspective its worse than the global recession which followed the 2008 financial crisis and it created a new postwar record previously set in 1902 when unemployment reached nearly 11 percent so its no exaggeration to say this is the worst crisis for the u. S. Economy since the Great Depression of the thirtys when one in every 4 American Workers had no job from washington d. C. Particle reports. Its a remarkable statistic 20500000 americans are out of work numbers not seen since the Great Depression almost 15 percent of the countrys workers looking for help from the government but because of the way its counted the number is likely closer to 20 percent of the countrys workforce out of their jobs these are not just numbers they are people who are suffering well not out in the. I mean sure and it also makes things. Or it and all sorts of trying to. You know making its arent out and the number is likely higher because of old filing systems many people have yet to be able to file for unemployment data samone has been trying for 2 months air and patience im still one of the millions i do understand. But its ridiculous some politicians are anxious to reopen the economy like i was governor trying to force people back to work if you are an employer and you offer to bring your employee back to work and they decide not to do that saval and terry. Whats more im looking for part of a quit ok a voluntary so we dont have it happen very often its a voluntary quit and so therefore they would not be eligible for the unemployment the employment money and the us president is promising a quick rebound as well were going to rebuild it were going to rebuild it back. As fast as we can i think were going to have an incredible transition. But transition leads to 4th quarter 3rd quarter i call it transition will start to see that its already happening but economists are doubtful saying it could take years to get the economy back to where it was and it will be much longer for the unemployed workers you know Previous Research Like Research and the Great Depression a Great Recession that workers who lose their jobs during a downturn take a long time to get back to. So in a Great Recession a slight work Young Workers took about 10 years to get back to the level of hurting all of this could have a big impact and one job in particular his if the numbers stay this way no amber i think you will lose no president has ever been reelected with with numbers like this i mean they werent nearly this bad when the 1st president bush was defeated for reelection in 1902 or when jimmy carter was defeated for reelection in 1980 a fight for his political survival for many of the 20 plus 1000000 americans out of work a daily struggle to stay financially afloat pedicle hane out his ear. Drum the fania works with city harvest thats a group that distributes excess food to those in need in new york he says people whove never needed charity before are now depending on Services Like that. After that pandemic youve seen that theres really been a strain on our food service our food network where some of our programs are seeing that theres an increase of demand by 30 percent percent over who distributions a lot of them are seeing families that have never had to turn to appear at your soup kitchen line up and theyre really just trying to balance that growing demand with really some of the prices are trying to change their operations or so so this is saying we better ask this 1902 so we seen of full spectrum of different economic disasters like the recession natural disasters like sandy we also saw oil and employment was at its best and still want to employment was at its best we saw some 1200000 new yorkers basically security and we saw 2500000 new yorkers that didnt have enough in savings to respond to an emergency or that didnt have enough money to balance their grocery expenses with their housing expenses so that was before but 1000 so what that really shows us is that a lot of families that are fully employed and i heard the story before people who had 2 jobs were of fortunately a paycheck away from being in the process of poverty that they may have never been at u. S. President donald trump offered his prediction on how Many American lives have been lost to the pandemic at least 76000 people have already died and the number of confirmed infections is approaching 1300000 trump has also said the u. S. Must continue efforts to reopen the economy in spite of the figures 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. We maybe target about 95000 people ultimately we may be jocular about something more than that. The number of covered 19 deaths in brazil have hit a daily high and 750 people lost their lives over the last 24 hours the countrys amazonas state is the worst hit region hundreds of coffins of arrived in the regional capital man else as more funerals are expected nearly 10000 people have died in brazil since the pandemic began and infections continue to surge in russia where more than 10000 new cases have been reported every day for almost the past week is a timeline of events there the 1st case of local transmission was confirmed in moscow on march 2nd but it was nearly a month before the government began lockdowns a large number of infections were traced to russians returning from china prompting the suspension of inbound flights and it only took a month for the number to skyrocket 2800000 more than china at the time which brings us to today where russia now has the 5th highest number of infections in the world. Maria lipman is from George Washington university she says the real concern for russia is when the virus moves into the provinces where Health Care Resources are limited. All countries of the world or nearly all were unprepared for this pandemic i would point out however that the number of deaths in russia 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 a 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 wish it necessarily believe everything this or it is a say 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 the e. U. Ones a ban on nonessential travel to europe to be extended until the middle of next month e. U. Countries started blocking foreigners from entering in mid march for the time being only Health Care Workers and research as from now on the unit and to now the total number of deaths in the u. K. Has gone beyond 31000 with more than 600 in the past day the Prime Minister Boris Johnson is planning to announce changes to lockdown measures on sunday but as minister say it 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 word 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. The United States has blocked efforts by the u. N. Security council to agree to a resolution on the pandemic negotiations have been going on for weeks after the un secretarygeneral called for a global ceasefire to help the fight against the virus diplomatic editor james bays has more. Here stonier the current president of the Security Council invited other members to an unofficial meeting to mark the 75th anniversary of the end of the war in europe speak 945 also marked the birth of the United Nations and the multilateral system but its a system that many believe has failed to respond in a unified manner to cope with 19 its now 6 weeks since the u. N. Secretary general made this call the fury of the vials illustrates the folly of what it is why today i am calling for an immediate global ceasefire in all corners of the worlds. It is time to put out into conflict on lockdown and focus together on the to fight of our lives in the weeks since then an unseemly battle behind the scenes with the Security Council unable to agree on the words or resolution to back the secretary generals call after President Trump said he would cut future funding to the World Health Organization u. S. Negotiators blocked any reference to the w. H. O. In the resolution while china threatened to veto any resolution that didnt mention it this latest version of the u. N. Draft resolution includes compromise language is though the references to World Health Organization it talks about the United Nations and its Specialized Health agencies in reality theres only one of those and it is the w. H. O. Negotiators thought they have the agreement of both china and the u. S. To this text but when senior trumpet ministration officials in washington saw it they objected taking us back to stage one deadlock james plays out as era at the United Nations time for a short break here now to 0 when we come back a major operation begins to bring thousands of indian workers stuck abroad back home plus.

For the governments blaming the coronavirus pandemic for not handing. Bodies to bereaved families. Until there is no threat of coronavirus the bodies of the dead will not be given human Rights Groups are skeptical be feel that the mean issue for government is that theyre very very scared of the spectacular which these funerals created because thousands of people come out and own these dead militants and rally behind them so they dont want to be sure to the people of india and internationally that theres anything happening in kashmir so this is a taking theyre taking an excuse of course to. Implement a policy which they otherwise would have not been able to do. Once the grind of ours can damage is over the indian authorities will be faced with a choice continue to bury rebel fighters and others killed in government burial grounds or allow their families to arrange funerals as before many christian areas under Indian Administration are hopeful there will be a reversal of policy theyve been under lockdown since last august when the Indian Government ended the regions.
