Functioning airport. It starts to normalize what it looks like to run as a mom with small children and juggling parenthood and politics the efforts of the u. S. To get more mothers on the bottom. And top level sport returns to north america for the 1st time in nearly 2 months and ultimate fighting championship event took place in a free arena in Jacksonville Florida. Now just how serious a 2nd wave of corona virus infections could be has become the new worry for governments as restrictions are lifted south koreas president is edging citizens to become vigilant after all bars and clubs in the capital were ordered to close again that followed dozens of infections meant to just one person on a night. Sounds now one of the hardest hit nations in europe france is preparing to ease its 8 week lockdown from monday the partial reopening comes off to a shop decline in deaths on saturday and brazils president is facing more criticism over his response to the pandemic i have also naro was seen riding a jet ski in the capital on the day the number of deaths there crossed 10000 we are going to begin with 2 protests who are currently underway and and how the coronavirus has been affecting them so mona fulton is in the iraqi capital where antigovernment demonstrators are gathering simona let me ask you oh im sorry weve also gone to vietnam pollen in hong kong where protesters have been out and shopping malls resuming months of anti beijing rallies were going to go to divvy fest divya were seeing will these crowds come out today all day adhering to social distancing guidelines. Well the south at the beginning they were trying but eventually they made their way into these shopping malls and gathered in groups and as you can see here behind me on the railings people just gather around them and start chanting slogans its chanting slogans both against the police against governments and for more democracy and universal suffrage but as soon as riot police come they all disperse very quickly whats making it very difficult for police to discern who is a protester and who is just a regular shopper this is one of the main shopping malls in the city is the fact that everyone in hong kong is wearing a face mask due to the government advice to help fight the corona Virus Outbreak so protesters easily mingle in which shoppers and so while the other issue here also i must say is the fact that protesters are also being fined under the social distancing measures there is quite a complicated situation where police can just pretty much throw perhaps a group like this more than 8 people a fine of 250. 00 u. S. Dollars each and these protesters are are its the same young people that we saw last year in the big movement and many of them are young theyre students and they cannot afford these fines but theyre somehow trying to get around this so this is hong kong trying to start its protest movement in the era of social distancing as you said. Given all of these restrictions one of the actual chances that will see these demonstrations swell back up to the size that we saw last year. The stars while hong kong was battling the current of ours pandemic here the outbreak here many people were distracted also many people were very wary of what could happen and they advised to by the governments rules of maintaining self isolation social distancing not gathering in groups and while theyre all distracted it seems that the government along with beijing made some stealth moves to try and crush hong kong some more prosy Movement Even further now that hong kong is opening up it seems to be over the worst of the outbreak youre only seeing a dwindling numbers if thats of infections here people are now realizing especially these young protesters that they werent or while they were respecting the governments rules and gave somewhat of a standoff or a peace offering the government didnt and now theyre coming back in full force and their supply and theyre calling it the start of hong kongs protests season. Did you go there for us in hong kong thanks very much to. People also gathering in iraqs capital for another day of antigovernment protests since a change in leadership last week former intelligence chief in the stuff has been sworn in as the new Prime Minister his predecessor was forced from office by months of often violent antigovernment demonstrations the protesters are calling for Better Living conditions and an overhaul of the political system while our correspondents want to fulton as live for us interests in baghdad so when are we expecting big crowds today. Well it remains to be seen how the demonstrations evolved today for now there are a few 100 people i would say gathered into hers where theyre manning the barricades which are on top of the republican bridge behind me and they have come here you know despite the coronavirus from that make still think iraq and also this being ramadan with many people fasting and it being a very hot day so we are still seeing people flock to the square so the numbers may rise throughout the day what is important to say is that this is the most significant gathering since the imposition of the curfew to stem the spread of coronavirus on march 17th since then we have seen higher square virtually empty with a few dozen people remaining in the tents that have been set up here for 2 days gathering is quite significant it comes just days after the formation of the new government of the people who have come here say that they still have demands that go well beyond the appointment of a new Prime Minister they will demand a complete overhaul of the political system they say that the Political Parties that are responsible for the failures of the past governments are still Controlling Parliament with them even though most proud of me has made quite a few concessions last night it is not quite enough and theyre saying that they will try to mobilize the protest again to see actual results on the ground was he says we did hear from the Prime Minister after his Cabinet Meeting on saturday and hes been making some announcements he took us through the big announcements there and how they have been broadly received. Well the moment the announcements were quite old for his 1st Cabinet Meeting and it was clear to most of our crowd to me was wasting no time to try to mend the rift between the demonstrators and the government he promised to release protesters who have been detained since the beginning of the protests in october and very importantly he also made a very important decision to reinstate the general of the one Hopper Society at the head of the Counterterrorism Service lets remember that his. Last year was one of the main triggers for the protests the people looked at him as a war hero who had made great contributions towards the fight against isobel and his the commissioning was seen as just one of the manifestation of. Corrupt governments in restraining him with the fraud problem is trying to address some of the root causes but of course many of the problems that people blame for a the failures of the past governments are still here many of the Political Parties that are responsible are still Controlling Parliament and this is why the demonstrators for your today said that they will keep going what remains to be seen is whether the protests will once again Gain Momentum and reach the same numbers that we saw last year because todays demonstrations although significant in the context of the past few weeks and the curfew theres still much less compared to last year when demonstrations 1st began. To mount a full 10 there for us in the iraqi capital baghdad thank you so much. As you heard earlier a new corona Virus Outbreak in seoul linked to nightclubs has led south koreas president to calling for calm but hes also warning of a 2nd wave of infections later this year from the private ports from seoul. South koreas response to the corona virus has been widely held up as an example to other countries at one time it faced the 2nd worst outbreak in the world after china but quickly brought it under control by encouraging people and companies to voluntarily social distance while conducting mass testing and Contact Tracing president views this National Address to promise further advances.

Were all going through the worst moments of this pain dimmick but its not recognised not saying not understood by those who are blinded by heights or by personal ambition. Medical officials in Rio De Janeiro in a lease for their major cities have warned that their Hospital Systems are on the verge of collapse among them and now its in the heart of the Amazon Region where 500 more coffins arrived by boat to deal with the surge and deaths nobody knows exactly how many died to cope with 19 because of insufficient the late testing for instance the state of music days its the 2nd most populated state in brazil we have only 3000 cases but then we have almost 100000 suspected cases that have been tested so far so the numbers are clearly much worse than we know the government has absolutely no idea of the true extent of the problem and its not the Health Minister himself has admitted to pursue this one lying through the spends our money and already bleak situation the promises to become even harsher as the weeks go by at least in the.

The old.

People are also. Gathering iraqs capital for another day of antigovernment protest their sense of change in leadership last week the protesters are calling for Better Living conditions and a complete overhaul of the political system. In south koreas president says theres no reason to panic after a new coronaVirus Outbreak in seoul linked to life perhaps one day in phrased his countrys efforts to contain the pandemic but also warned of a 2nd wave action the place of the cme. Now british Prime Minister Barak Johnson is jewish they give a briefing later on sunday outlining plans to ease the u. K. s lockdown its expected to involve getting people back to work but with changes to the way that offices operation the way that people commute it wont be the same as before and he reports from london. They are going to lines for unlocking the lockdown starting with how we travel to work. Before the pump to make 325000 passengers boarded London Underground trains every 15 minutes if 2 meters social distancing is applied only 50000 could board in that time one solution is to stock a travel times putting an end to the idea of a normal office hours you could infrastructure it was not out. So im just. Im just optics. And im actually having guidance around this report. Cycling is enjoying everyday solmes under lockdown companies are being advised to install bigger bike racks allowing commuters to avoid public transport. And in the office itself workers are being told to sit either side by side or back to back desks sharing should be avoided and some firms are being advised to install plexiglas between workstations and discourage access to communal areas such as kitchens and when it comes to shared pens and staplers theyre now off limits. Understandably ages are precious time maybe also says there is recycled moments. Tree using also to get in and out. Taps after too much whats coming through in my judgment it was still up. For people to meet. Pharmacists in supermarkets already open with customers and shopkeepers separated by screens. When other retailers such as clothes shops reopen theyre expected to introduce one way flow systems hundreds of construction sites have already opened with Many Companies setting their own rules and regulations the government is expected to reveal plans to help hotels receive guests again but for now bars and restaurants are expected to remain closed for many workers the advice remains unequivocal or those who can work from home should work from home when it comes to restoring the life we once knew there appears to be no one size fits all solution needs barca aljazeera london. Now americas top Infectious Diseases expert im from a found she is in self quarantine after coming into contact with someone who had a car that 19 now found she is a Senior Member of the White House Response Team and will go into whats been described as modify and quarantine after making a low risk contact but 2 other officials also on the toss force will go into isolation for a full 2 weeks while the u. S. State of new york as current investigation more than 70 cases of a possible corona virus relation syndrome that affects children symptoms include swollen blood vessels and heart problems 3 children have died from the condition we were laboring under the impression that young people were not affected by covert 900 and that was actually good news right the bone the root populations were older people people with cold morbidity but the one of the few rays of good news was young people werent affected were not so sure that that is the fact anymore. Toddler Elementary School children are presenting symptoms similar to our saki disease or toxic shock like syndrome christensen in me has more from your. The governor said that these children did not go to the hospital presenting symptoms of coded 19 the symptoms that they showed when they visited their Health Care Practitioners were fever and skin rashes and swollen glands in extreme cases what happens is. Inflammation of the blood vessels and heart damage these are symptoms that are associated with cows saki disease as he said and toxic shock syndrome these are really Rare Diseases so the fact that theres been 73 of them in new york state is considered very unusual and suspect and then when they went back and tested these children afterwards they found out that the majority of them had been exposed to the corona virus and had antibodies in their system so now they are looking at a possible link between the corona virus and these children and the outbreak of the phenomenon that theyre suffering the centers for Disease Control has actually asked new york state now to develop a response criteria for this phenomenon basically what are the symptoms and how should it be treated there also partnering with other institutions here in new york to see if theres a possible genetic link between these cases that weakness perhaps triggered by the corona virus but really a lot of questions a lot of concern but no real answers right now certainly worrying situation for parents who thought that their kids at least were protected from from any serious consequences with this virus while the number of coronavirus cases globally has now passed 4000000 with the u.

S. Has reported about 1300000 infections and nearly 80000 deaths eric ham is a us political analyst and has also written a book on the Republican Party he says president obamas comments may well have been strategic. Were talking about a former president speaking to about 3000 of his former employees people who worked for him in the white house people who understand acutely how important it is to keep things and work in the fact that the president makes such biting comments about the current occupant of the white house you one has this expect that the president actually wanted these comments to get out the question is why would he want them out and why would he want them out now given that the United States is confronting this virus this pandemic knowing that the president certainly will attack and again you americans are still left really trying to basically fend for themselves as that but the pandemic is reaching now upwards of 80000 people and the number of deaths that have been caused by this virus president barack obama is attempting to do at this moment in time right now is to unify the Democratic Party and to also signal not only to those who work in the administration but also to those as you mentioned who may be who may be on the fence right now who may be not ready to actually get behind a joe bidens candidacy i think what the former president is doing is signaling that he is working for the democratic nominee and that he needs everyone on board and hes making it clear that he too will be working as he said and as it was leaked he will be working as hard as he can to aleck joe biden in the fall now thousands of people have queued for food handouts and one of the wild west well he settles the swiss city of geneva now its something people began lining up at 5 am on fast that 4 hours before the save his horse out by then the queue was about one and a half kilometers long people were given packages containing nonperishable by special. Now lebanon is slowly emerging from its lockdown weeks of closures have cost further damage to an economy that was already in freefall after months of political and financial turmoil and as our correspondents anaconda reports from beirut the hospitality sector is paying a heavy price. Lebanon is reopening after a 2 months lock down a major outbreak of the corona virus appears to have been averted but the pandemic devastated and already collapsing economy many businesses didnt survive the present being before some of our projects we had to take that i decisions if we need to go on we closed humber on may 1st it was sad to stay in my whole life maybe and for us we closed a wonderful place a wonderful projects that couldnt sustain financially at all anymore many restaurants will be reopening with the recent collapse of the local currency believe its become more expensive to operate them but this sector was hit hard months before because of lebanons worst financial crisis in decades nearly 1000 outlets have closed since september. 150000 employees are employed in this sector. Translates into 150000 families who live from the sector 25000 were laid off between october and january we dont know the numbers now but i can tell you 120000 employees are sitting at home today. In another challenge restaurants that are back in business are obliged to operate a 30 percent capacity to protect against the coronavirus rising poverty and inflation also means fewer customers Restaurant Owners are asking for relief from taxes and loans to be reduced. Hotels are also asking for assistance but the state is close to bankruptcy the hospitality sector used to be a pillar of the economy contribution 10 percent of the g. D. P. Its also the biggest employer after the Public Sector at least 800000 Hotel Employees have lost their jobs in recent months losses have been accumulating for years partly on being closed off due to the war in neighboring syria as well as political instability that has kept tourists away now the pandemic has brought the sector to a halt we closing simply because we lost the hope of. You know a better tomorrow. To continue for 70 years the Bristol Hotel hosted International Conferences and dignitaries never closing even during the 15 year civil war that ended in 1990 this landmark is now a symbol of what many describe as one of lebanons darkest times. The route now egypts president. Has granted himself new powers and he has extended the reach of security agencies under the existing state of emergency theyll be able to suspend University Classes and ban protests celebrations and other forms of assembly and trade in private meetings the government says its among measures to deal with the coronavirus but Rights Groups say the virus has been used as an excuse to expand authoritarian role the death of a filmmaker who was detained for 2 years without trial has renewed calls for the release of Political Prisoners there well timothy cultus is a non resident fellow at the Torah Institute for middle east policy he says successive egyptian governments have used imagines hes to gain extra power. Sure i mean egypt in some form or another has been a state of emergency for over 60 years with very few respites from that. Oftentimes the authorities will use real problems and as an excuse to dramatically expand its powers and justify series of measures that may have nothing to do with the problem in question as were seeing in some of the measures undertaken in this particular emergency law authorization and so Human Rights Watch is rightfully concerned that the authorities once again are trying to add to their toolkit in terms of repression under the pretext of protecting public health. And the reality is that unfortunately were seeing 2 sets of measures some that are legitimate and some that arent and are very reasonable fear of abuse because weve seen. Abuse of authority be a persistent feature of authoritarianism in egypt for several decades and the Current Situation is one of the most repressive periods in egypts modern history so Human Rights Watch is going to raise those concerns and worries about what what could transpire from this new set of authorizations and theyre totally legitimate in doing so well to some other news now hundreds of protesters in kenya blocked major highways in the capital to thousands of homes which launched placers tear gas and water cannon to dispense them the government says the houses were built and lead to me and it comes despite a court order of barring officials from evicting residents.
