Jobless figures live to the white house my colleague White House Correspondent kimberly hellcat so kimberly the new jump job numbers are out are they pretty much ballpark where we thought theyd be. Yeah well we knew that they would continue to climb and theyre going to continue to climb and this is the issue for a u. S. President that is trying to win reelection on a Strong Economy a jobs president all of the jobs created since donald trump came into office and the ones created by the Previous Administration as a result of the late 2000 recovery have been wiped out in a matter of just 7 or 8 weeks so this is a real challenge for this president one that he continues to say he can overcome he continually projects that the 3rd quarter out of sort of these sort of financial Record Keeping that occurs in the United States that it will be very strong but the reality is is that in the 2nd quarter the 3rd quarter still ahead things are not strong at all in fact the numbers are expected to keep climbing in terms of those americans filing unemployment claims it could go as high as 46000000 americans its projected that lost their jobs essentially wiped out in a matter of weeks paralyzing this u. S. Economy and as a result we have seen some at least republican governors starting to try and take punitive action looking for someone to blame not blaming the president they say but trying to blame china on wednesday 14 different states wrote a letter to President Trump urging him to hold china accountable and seeking damages for the economic carnage that they are now experiencing in their states. So whistleblower will testify today on capitol hill about the trump response to the poem to make mr trump coming out fighting already we see. Get the u. S. President tweeting in just the last few minutes or so of about rick right here is a whistle blower he was heading up a top Vaccine Agency here in the United States he says he was pushed out of his job for political reasons essentially he were to use to back a controversial drug that the u. S. President was very keen for treating coronavirus the whistle blower right saying that in fact this was an unproven drug he did not feel comfortable and he says he was pushed out of his job in the midst of seeking restoration of his employment hes also testifying on capitol hill in the next hour and the u. S. President already trying to set the stage with a tweet saying i dont know the socalled whistleblower rick bright never heard of him never met him a but to me hes a disgruntled employee not like to respected by people i spoke to and who with his attitude should no longer be working for our government now i should point out that his testimony is not expected to be good for the u. S. President and his cronies virus response in fact we understand going to tell lawmakers that the window of opportunity is closing for preparations for that 2nd wave that outbreak thats expected to be even more deadly than the 1st in the fall here in the United States he will be warning that the darkest winter in modern history could be upon the United States if not more is done and we should point out very quickly this is the 2nd testimony that could be happening on capitol hill that the president doesnt like you remember just a couple of days ago dr anthony very well respected Public Health official in the United States also said something the u. S. President didnt like essentially saying that it would be overly optimistic to think a vaccine could be ready by the fall when students need to go back to school and what we should point out there is the u. S. Election donald trump called that an unacceptable answer he said this is a very little impact on young people and you cant consider the. United states reopening if in fact schools are also not open kimberly thanks very much well talk to you later im sure ok lets get the latest on the significant lesson being published today sicknesses signatures from 140 of the great and the good plugged into this world of epidemiology virology journal is live for us in london so joe know what else do we know about this letter calling for a vaccine to be free across the board and pates and free as well. Yes well as you mentioned more than 140. 00 public figures a pretty illustrious list including 50 former World Leaders and some current World Leaders 2 its headed by cyril rahm opposer the president of south africa also the pakistan Prime Minister imran khan and others and yes as you say what it is saying is if and when a vaccine comes into being its got to be paid for its got to be owned by the whole world not by any individual country or company its got to be scaled up very quickly into the billions of doses so that it can be given to people around the world who need it at no cost and it reflects this initiative if you like fears in the developing world the socalled global south to use the language in the letter that a vaccine is likely to come from developed countries the global north and fears that it will be used preferentially there 1st among richer populations whilst the poorer countries that dont have the finances in the resources to be able to secure their share will be made to wait the letter says we cannot afford for monopolies crude competition and nearsighted nationalism to stand in the way of a Global Solution that ends this pandemic now they will be aware and everyone is aware that the race to develop a vaccine is hotly underway there are more than 100 currently clinical tests underway across the world many of those in europe in the United States at different stages currently and different sizes one of the biggest ones is here in the u. K. At Oxford University the best guess coming from scientists at oxford is that they may have may have a vaccine around about the autumn time september or something but thats a long long way just discovering a vaccine from being able to scale it up and make it available globally that could go well into next year or beyond and this is the developing world making clear that they dont want to be made to wait even longer than that turner thanks very much. Well as kimberly was saying a little earlier President Trump says he wants the u. S. Economy up and running again as soon as possible his message comes the day after as we heard also the top of the news anthony folks returning she warned that rushing to reopen could have serious consequences including needless deaths and suffering mike hanna reports from washington the president met with the governors of colorado and north dakota and urged them to look into reopening schools as soon as possible the country is getting hit back and its going to get back in soon as possible and i dont consider a country coming back and the schools are closed its a message at odds with that given by dr antony felt she told a Senate Committee tuesday that there were real dangers in reopening states too soon making particular reference to schools we dont know everything about this virus and weve really got to be very careful particularly when it comes to children president ial candidate joe biden was quick to comment i would trust the guy whos one of our nations top Public Health experts he tweeted not the one who pondered injecting disinfectant into the body and look directly at a Solar Eclipse there are federal guidelines for governors to consider among the recommendations that the rate of infection dropped for 2 weeks before mitigating measures are eased that a proper tracing procedure be established and that testing protocols be in place none of the states that have begun to reopen meet all these criteria. And in wisconsin another denial of the concerns of medical experts the Supreme Court has struck down the governors stay at home order siding with Republican Leaders who argue the administration had overstepped its Legal Authority its an argument that has received explicit support in tweets from the white house mike hanna aljazeera washington.

Also ahead newcastle fans who want to oppose the takeover bid of the club more details with santa in about 35 say. 2 cities in the northeast of china theyre locked on measures reinstated because of a new cluster of infections 4 and a half 1000000 people a jillion city have been told to stay at home public transport has been stopped and recently reopened schools are being closed again neighboring should learn city was locked down on sunday tests are underway on 11000000 People Living in New Hampshire where the virus was 1st reported katrina you has more details on whats happening in jilin sure land and who and from the Chinese Capital forest beijing. To some people looking down 4 and a half 1000000 people because of 20 or so cases may seem like a bit of an overreaction but the reason that this is happening is that the authorities are suspicious that this cluster may have been growing undetected for some period of time and all of these cases are linked to a 45 year old woman insure lun city thats the smallest city and its a mystery so far as to how she caught core of a dying teen she has no trouble history no contact with imported cases there is some speculation that she may have caught it from clothing in her workplace for example but the authorities in this area very keen to contain this as soon as possible especially saying that next week in beijing its the most important political event of the year is going to be held the National Peoples congress or the last thing that they want to see is this getting out of hand we know that so far rouhani all the residents thats a live in 1000000 residents are expected to be tested if they havent already been tested in the last 2 weeks all residents would have received a text message at some point this week and being told by the local district authorities to head to the closest clinic to schedule their own test and authorities expect that districts in the get this testing done in a period of 10 days thats about 1000000 people pay day roughly being tested outside of what hons so far no sign of mass testing the reason that authorities and our spirit have been spared to do this mass testing is because there has been a cluster located this 6 new transmissions located there but elsewhere around the country as Domestic Travel restrictions eased this a clear nucleic acid test is increasingly being used as some sort of possible local governments are asking travelers to to show it as a condition for them to arrive in their area and certainly other cities including beijing and shanghai its very easy now to gores who is testing sent to do a test for about 30. 00 and get your results in 24 hours so this is increasingly becoming a crucial part of everyday life in china so far its voluntary but at some point it may be rolled out on a compulsory basis.

A new military offensive in the middle of a Global Pandemic. The Southern Province of the army is the latest frontline in humans war. Government forces backed by saudi arabia are inching closer to was a provincial capital since a bar they are fighting to end what they call an armed rebellion by the Southern Transitional council the separatist movement which just backed by the United Arab Emirates and determined to break away from northern yemen the breakaway fighters will want allies in the fight against these in the north now enemies in the battle for control in the south last month the Southern Separatist fighters declared self rule in their stronghold the port city of aden and now want to extend control over nearby provinces. Victory is close only a few hours separate us from and we are well prepared a morale is high and men are ready. Not fall from the shell fire yemenis and aden are fighting against the civil enemy. In your corner virus the city is reporting the highest number of infections and deaths in yemen as more cases are detected elsewhere the lack of Testing Facilities means many infections are going undiagnosed and many deaths are good quarter. Directorate weve taken many steps to prevent the spread of coronavirus weve implemented an Educational Campaign weve implemented to Sterilization Campaign and street and stores 5 years of war between who the fight is on Government Forces backed by the saudi you a military coalition has forced millions of yemenis from their homes.

That we are afraid for our children we have elderly people and we are in a remote place and we are afraid the virus will spread like wildfire is spatially get the disease appeared entires and only the directorate of motor is between us and the virus meaning that is very close and we are in fear that the World Health Organization says the virus could flip through yemen really hard the hospitals are functioning i audition sees how border famine yemenis are caught between the pandemic and civil war with no end to their suffering so it plunk a couple ounces here.

Says demand is expected to fall by 8600000 Barrels Per Day last month they predicted a drop of more than 9000000. 00 but it wants any resurgence of covert 19 cases will have major consequences economics editor of it ali joining us live from london a bit high they good to talk to you again so really if its a 2nd wave the price goes haywire i guess. Youre absolutely right there pete says so if there is a 2nd wave and with Everything Else that the i. A. E. A. Said today then you know we can see oil prices have a lot lower and so lets lets go through the nuts and bolts of the report now the picture as he says is now looking pretty bleak for the oil industry if this and he calls it saves is that massive demand destruction that we saw in april which they are eating a calling black april is pretty much behind us remember almost 4000000000 people went into some fallout with that and with many quarters closed limited flights and little traffic on the roads with only essential Services Running now analysts actually say that in april alone we saw the man down by about 35000000 barrels a day thats. Our usual consumption number or oil is roughly about 100000000 barrels a day and a with. And so now the i. A. E. A. Is expecting a record fall for the rest of europe by 8. On the supply side 2 things firstly theres been huge cuts coming through saudi arabia has voluntarily he sought me to cut oil by what 1000000 barrels a day and has have the support of kuwait or United Arab Emirates and from the United States weve seen the rigs number rigs which are operating in the shale area have come down which is all good news but you know we will see. The number of Storage Facilities being overwhelmed by the middle of the year thats according to the i. A. E. A. And thats when the state are the small cuts from the coming from opec plus countries or you know well see Lower Oil Prices have a thanks very much. Hasnt looked too different during the pandemic so what it was before the pandemic runs from schools and shops of all state open house read supreme trusted to adopt social distancing the lack of a lot done has attracted curiosity and condemnation more than 3 and a half 3400. 00 deaths is much higher than neighboring countries but the damage to the economy is projected to be lower than the average staying in sweden as many people continue to work from home one company is developing a new technology that could allow Truck Drivers to do the same thing. From sun taught in southern sweden. This may not be the most thrilling driving experience just yet but it could be the future of Long Distance trucking this is a testing site for i mean right already in commercial operation with one Haulage Company in sweden i mean right builds remote controlled trucks driven from a far from the comfort of an aerodynamic office chair. We just have to show the general population that the trucks are safer or safer and then the crooks that we have on the roads today they will never get tired they will never fall asleep and the reality of today is that theres a shortage of Truck Drivers if youre doing trucking its very very hard to find drivers its hope that some may find this less exhausting than life on the open highway now from the point of view of a truck driver taking this job instead of buckling up for a long day on the road there just arrived to the office drive the truck from here perhaps go to the gym at lunch time and even at the end of the day of the truck was hundreds of kilometers away they could be home in time for. The trucks off fueled by battery and operated via mobile data so it sends out in progress some measures the distance the government right now restricts them to 5 Kilometers Per Hour so the Trucking Company already using them only does so at their own premises their actual top speed is still secrets but is already much closer to National Traffic limits i write say the trucks can also keep the flow of goods moving during crises such as the coronavirus pandemic while the remotes drivers remain isolated. Its not an idea as yet fully embraced by swedens existing army of truckers here in the Southern City of mile my. I like my job you meet many people say hello sometimes 60 stops a day this thing can work in ports would mean ferry terminals but the way we drive i dont think so doing that let them make things easier when it works but its hard to replace a human being who doesnt force me into retirement anyway i dont want things to change too fast. Would a closures and reduced production have caused job losses in swedens Trucking Industry but the lack of a lockdown has helped keep it rolling remote driving may be a vital addition if not a replacement for a system that keeps people and the economy alive paul reese aljazeera some told sweden. Mean European Unions Justice Commissioner says smartphone apps that digitally trace coronavirus patients should be deactivated once the pandemic is over Contact Tracing applications and other surveillance measures have triggered concerns about privacy worldwide 28 countries are now using these apps that can track people and their contacts through bluetooth signaling once an infection is confirmed all those who came into contact with a patient are notified and theyre asked to self quarantine china has gone one step further with a series of. Based tracking systems that give people a color coded health pass essential for travel and work in india their Contact Tracing up has been downloaded 100000000 times and is mandatory for those who want to travel on trains the government is using both bluetooth and g. P. S. Location devices to build a centralized database. Michael wiil hes a lecturer in Digital Rights and regulation at University College london michael what reservation should we have if we have yet to download such an app as the apps were talking about here thanks its important to know roughly how you have to work on a differences differences between member across countries some of whom are connected to your real id some of them are connected to just a unique phone that youre holding in your hand some of them centralized a great deal of danger about the social network of you and people around you in the cloud some of them share that data some of them dont and also some of them might develop further in the future into technologies like quarantine control so the app you download today might look different from the out but it turns into tomorrow weve been working on systems that attempt to limit all of those things and limit term in particular burn Mission Creep that can change over time and mean that theres no need for a centralized data store because you dont need that to do the kind of Contact Tracing that is being asked for are Different Countries offering the chance to download different depending upon if one feels a little bit awkward about a versus a b. If one has done enough research. No thats not particularly an option of the moment and thats heightened fine in fact that what we think of as more privacy preserving our switch our decentralized where data doesnt leave your phone and all the matching of you and the people you are near happens secretly on peoples devices all of those that are not really very compatible with the heavy centralized some of which even use location data but also being pushed around the world so we see a majority of European Countries not doing for going to centralize systems google also Contact Tracing system in their phones learn to european project which had a decentralized approach that im involved in. Countries are not for more centralized versions may find it hard for these systems to work well across borders mansour also precludes what us staying the choice within a country is this a little bit like the id card argument i. E. If youve got nothing to hide whats the problem because the key thing here is not say to do with the i. D. Card as well because people people have always said you know certain european governments anti terror legislation is kept on the statute books its then used by the wrong people in the wrong way of the wrong time but the key thing here is track and test track and trace keeps people alive in the face of a very clever killer virus. Yes it will it does we need to test track and trace which is why its important to get the most of these apps as possible and that can only really be done if people know that these apps are for test track and trace and not for anything else so thats why decentralized pretty preserving approaches are important and id add to that and say its not simply about do you have anything to hide because centralized applications the way they function is you upload data when your in fact you dont feel symptoms about other people so you store in the environment so actually its a case of people loading about other people and that makes it quite different from an id cancer system where you are sharing information just about yourself which is the case in a decentralized out understood michael good to talk to you thank you so much for your insight we do appreciate your time thank you time for weather and were talking about a thai food yet the 1st one of the year and it hit the philippines is made landfall already picture behind me of the spinning satellite you can actually see the ari just here last word but it made landfall in eastern north to tacloban which is infamous for a very big hit this one as a category 2 as it made landfall is still just about category 2 even now which gives you the sort of dimensions the winds come down to 155 Kilometers Per Hour but the rainfall potential exists as this thing is still a spinning stall for at least next 2 days and you get a half a meter the next few hours give a storm surge on the east coast the same are all in the arms of because she is to the north and the way fact is still as generous in the open ocean 8 meters so coastal damage seems quite likely as a result this is and it came into Eastern Samar when youve seen these pictures before but to give you an idea of the strength thats like a category 2 hurricane you see in the wind speeds and of course damaging and potentially lethal with things flying through the air. This is the path over the next 2 days it goes across the whole of the philippines basically just about missing and its a fairly slow passage all this time its alive or its able to take energy in from the surrounding warm water all of friday its on its way out through the cold. It will be in loser big brother many thanks still to come here on the news for you a mystery condition related to corona virus is affecting children causing a very small percentage to die.

Thousands of current and former World Leaders are making a plea for free and equitable access to a vaccine once its developed it sent an open letter urging countries to share data on virus related technologies. The World Health Organization has warned the virus may never go away and could become endemic like hiv but it also says an effective vaccine could eliminate it. Now as the push to open up grows stronger airlines are being forced to dramatically reduce think the way they do business to both protect passengers and to remain solvent and new zealand has announced its increasing the number of domestic flights and adding strict protective measures social distancing for example will be enforced in the air and on the ground that means one seat. Between individual travelers but families can remain together airlines will expand the use of automated check ins and biometric boarding allowing you to use your face as your passport carriers are having to quickly rebuild their businesses to accommodate ongoing restrictions and theres no guarantee the changes will bring customers or profits back for the foreseeable future lets bring in the aviation analyst brendan soapie in singapore brendan great to talk to you again here on the news of the any of them plans to go or will they work or not. This is the missile phase as they look at the mess the market in britain or have the opportunity for regular people to travel to mystically get in there meet them are there on the 1st alert tears that happened here or not only essential workers were able to travel so theyre really back you know 20 percent of capacity which is actually 37 flights because mom and sister chins on the other hand empty seats in between passengers some 30 percent of flights which is equivalent to 20 percent or in terms of actually. Its very early on in the beginning that were going to see here and in rest in engineering in maybe as they get into the holiday period in. The market that seems ok social distancing apart from families travelling on Group Tickets i guess but social distancing side to side along the road does that mean social distancing row to row so does that mean if youre in row 15 theres nobody in the seat behind you in row 16 but there might be somebody diagonally behind you or diagonally ahead of you. Its the middle seat thats locked if youre not in families now keep in mind that not every country has this restriction so you know the markets reopened in india in korea right now and you dont have these restrictions so so every country is different and when we start getting threats International Travel the next few months theres going to be harmonization the standards and groom and thats what i dont know about the associations are working right now to try to come up with harmonisation of standards which will become more ok. Assuming therefore social distancing does apply every place in the aircraft 2 points point number one if the aircraft is half full does that mean the airlines are going to have to double the fares because they want to see the money going into their Bank Accounts again thats a given point number one point number 2 youre still going to be breathing in reese recycled air thats gone over the engines its gone into the leave a thing up there and unless youre sitting in that cone of air condition there theres still risk just in being on an aircraft even before you ask for a meal that i understand a new zealand are not going to be serving you anyway. Well i mean this is the best flight so theyre all under one hour in new zealand city lucky to be only going to normal circumstances but lets lets the person on the 2nd point. You know the airplane is generally considered a safe environment and it has filters like a hospital but theres a lot about unknowns and this is why its important to know how to research and discussion of the standard sometimes no science that suggests that even you know you know how to get the seeds that you know reduces the risk you know where there is a risk or versus having the focus not going to force all sorts and you know other points where passengers pass each other and iris are going to the toilets or boarding in there or so theres a lot about unknowns so i mean that its not to be discussed in terms of air fares its really about supply and demand so in new zealand seem very high fares initially because theyre using or doesnt have much competition but mark about vietnam or korea are already in china theres a lot of competition between our minds and so we so even if you have rules and most of these other countries actually dont have the tools and you saw what happened because some airlines are competing against each other and right now they really need that cash they you know they havent been for months and they really need whatever we can get brendan is there a background noise here its the noise of all the airline c. E. O. s around the world phoning oil and saying look we have got to have a big global zoom conference because weve got to take a multiple standardize it because weve got to convince people look you can fly again its safe again youll be ok. I mean theres a theres a theres a lot of theres a lot of work going on its not only just just i mean theres lots of associations and ok it was better again working on the standards and its important that countries dont you know come up come up with their own thing without any kind of rational be rational behind reasons behind it so so i think that there is a lot of work behind the scenes going on now maybe at a resume conference would be good at yes well that i had a Sudden Weekly conference that you know what though there are lots of stakeholders but maybe there has to be a bigger player maybe a more public one of the because its important to get this right and its a little bit shaky right now because so much so much unknown out there but what i think you know there is a lot of effort going on and i think it will eventually get this right but in this interim days before you know before we have harmonization of standards its going to be tricky because every country is going to be different and everyones going to be wondering whats right is new zealand doing something right its not doing something wrong or its the other way around and its theres a lot of unknowns out there its really hard to figure out whos really doing it right brendan good to talk to us up a thank you very much thank you. Well staying in new Zealand New Zealand is all be able to do everything the thing every day things again such as going to restaurants and shopping malls as well as businesses reopening children are being allowed to go back to school as of monday social distancing rules remain and most gatherings are restricted to 10 people the governments announced record spending of around 30000000000. 00 over 4 years to revive the economy. As weve been reporting unemployment in the us has risen rapidly because of the pandemic Goldman Sachs is warning a quarter of the workforce could be jumped less of some point during this he and a she have returned see reports that includes the people fighting the virus. It hasnt gone unnoticed or that even as the u. S. Salutes frontline workers in this case with military flyovers at a conservatively estimated 60000. 00 an hour over at least 22 Cities Health care workers are being fired at a low many rates due to a lack of foam and thats despite 100000000000. 00 in funding post by congress specifically to help medical providers preliminary estimates for april showed a loss of 1400000 Health Care Jobs with 135000 hospital stuff such as revenue rich elective surgeries and routine visits were canceled his data report and on the situation as oh well.
