The Libyan Government in tripoli say theyve seized control of a major air base for more Khalifa Haftar. Antigovernment protesters emerge from course in hong kong after being charged in relation to mass rallies. And its a big part of tourism in kenya how corona virus is affecting its wildlife as a. Im going to go with sports as live go for turns to the u. S. Worry mcelroy Dustin Johnson with a Charity Match behind closed doors in florida raising more than 5000000. 00 for the fight against coronavirus. Now the country at the heart of the corona Virus Outbreak thats now infected nearly 5000000. 00 people around the world is defending its handling of the pandemic and chinas president says beijing supports an inquiry but only once the virus has brought under control had the World Health Organizations annual meeting she jinping also pledged money to fight the covert 19. China will provide 2000000000. 00 over 2 years to help with the global covered 1000. 00 response and to help with economic and social development in developing countries china will also work with the un to set up a global humanitarian response to post and hub in china. Well for more now lets go to our correspondent said big issues in london as every year this is the moment that the w. H. O. Comes under increased scrutiny and this year obviously more than ever we are seeing these fairly consistent calls for an inquiry but countries are also saying they dont want to make it a blame game. Yes absolutely but even before this assembly came came started today there was finger pointing and controversy you know the United States suspended its funding to the World Health Organization saying that it was too china centric and accuse the organization of severely mismanaging its response to the pandemic and said that they would suspend funding to the organization until an investigation was completed but also theres been a diplomatic spat between china and australia that after a stray you put forward a resolution that wanted to look at the origins of the virus now that resolution didnt mention china by name but beijing said that it was targeted and last month weve been sore china threatening economic ramifications for a stray year now a resolution has been put forward we understand around 120. 00 countries are supporting it and that that resolution is asking for investigation a transparent investigation into the International Response to the virus but we also understand that the text for that resolution will include calls to look at the zoonotic origins of the virus now that word zoonotic means the diseases that are transferred from animals to humans china doesnt seem to be supportive but right now they dont seem to be opposed to either well as you say the u. S. And china are escalating tensions there and theyre continuing to escalate but weve seen shes in thing here presumably on the defensive and also wanting to try is a gonna some Political Capital particularly from developing countries at this time. Yes he spoke he defended chinas record on the chroma virus he said that the country had been open and transparent he said that the country would put forward 2000000000. 00 over 2 years to help fight the chroma virus and he mentioned the developing countries several times throughout his statement he said that china would was helping countries in africa that would sending supplies and medical equipment and also expertise but he said that any vaccine developed by china would be for the public good now thats been a talking point before this assembly because pharmaceutical companies are racing to find a vaccine and the controversy is that will that vaccine be widely available now china saying that if they develop it it will be for the public good but weve also had the director general dr ted ross of the World Health Organization vehemently defend the organization and the handling of the chronic virus he said that they are lessons to be learned but he said he would initiate an investigation into the handling of the crime of Virus International heading and he promised it would be transparent and there would be accountability as a bag there for us and london thanks very much for that update authors. Lets dig into this head on more with anna tang and he is an Economic Advisor to the Chinese Government and he joins us now from beijing and i weve already heard that china is agreeing to an inquiry but only once things are under control and presumably this is beijing trying to head off some of the criticism the criticism that its been getting consistently hit with. Well i think its less to do with more of the do with the fact that you were in the middle of a pandemic and all the resources should be aimed at trying to respond to it you know obviously theres there will be. Investigations as to where this came from the timelines in terms of responses and things like this and thats exactly does it matter whether beijing agrees or not what youre really seeing here is the difference between politics and science and you know at this point hopefully science will win oh and as weve been saying this is a global threat and ultimately this comes down to trust and information sharing right so right now when we look at tensions between china and the United States how is that rift affected the Global Response to the pandemic well i think its been a very bad but i mean it china hasnt attacked its you know i mean its donald trump who has cast doubt about it because it says there are a mouthpiece for china but you know yes you have to start looking at actions china has you point it is reported is coming forward and saying that theyre putting money towards this that you know any back scene available will be manacles to the public i think you know theres a lot of talk about you know how how this is a deliberate strategy but really what it represents is the u. S. This deafening silence silence from the u. S. And the trumpet ministration in terms of not only developing but how they plan to help them take a leadership position let me ask you more about that differentiation there because now the w. H. O. Is saying that this is perhaps the most important annual assembly in its entire history but it is also happening at a time when the u. S. Is defunding the agency so this decision that were saying now by beijing to commit 2000000000. 00 to Pandemic Response and that surely serves only to highlight that rift is this china trying to set itself apart here. No i think you know if they didnt do that i think theyd be in your response its a large economy 2nd largest world theyve talked about other countries stepping up and there theyre doing that as i said china is in a difficult position anything they do is wrong its either a calculated strategy or nor a problem but i think on balance this is the right thing to do i think youd agree with well let me ask you then about the response to developing countries because there has been a concerted effort to try to send aid to doctors resources to developing countries particularly in africa i mean this is undeniably an opportunity for them to also tries again some Political Capital here you know you can look at it that way or you can say that theyre doing the right thing and who its a shame that more countries arent doing the same we wouldnt be refreshing you know what resources could be spared were in fact being sent to these underdeveloped countries remember we keep talking about the developed world but the fact is it is the only undeveloped world who are going to suffer the most because they dont have that medical they dont have the kind of economic stimulus packages that are available elsewhere so yes there should be a lot of concern about the serious an attack on their own economic adviser to the Chinese Government good to get your perspective fernandez there now taiwan has criticised the World Health Organization if excluding it from its annual Assembly Foreign minister joseph who accuses the w. H. O. Of yielding to pressure from the Chinese Government beijing considers taiwan a breakaway province and has long objected to its participation in International Organizations as a sovereign state taiwan has reported just 440 cases and says the w. H. R. Hasnt provided the health it needs. They tell you one woman the ministry of Foreign Affairs expresses deep regret that the World Health Organization secretariat has yielded to pressure from the Chinese Government and continues to disregard the right to health for the 23000000 people of taiwan so you dont want the people of taiwan aboard the 2 faced behavior of the Chinese Government which claims to care for their health and welfare while actually seeking to deprive them of their rights and health.

Up until last week it was thought this parliamentary meeting could have been the setting for a showdown between the malaysian government and the opposition the new Prime Minister and read in yassin and several m. P. s left the governing coalition in february triggering a collapse of the previous government the Prime Minister at that time Mahathir Mohamad resigned refusing to work with the new alliance which would have included the United Malays National organization a party that was defeated in the last election and. District of corruption allegations earlier this month mahathir who says he still has majority support proposed a motion of no confidence against the Prime Minister but the government has limited the agenda to just the kings opening speech citing efforts to contain the spread of the coronavirus during the last. Oh yeah we dont like government for 2 weeks and we have lost 2 precious weeks i didnt go down lloyd the last trip that you spend on me. I want the government position to leave me i wonder should i leave but just to employ any excess is only taking among the politicians opposition politicians accused the Prime Minister of being afraid of a no confidence vote. But we cannot accept the excuse that we can only meet for 2 hours because of the coronavirus pandemic. We didnt have postponed the original parliament a session from march 9th 8 days after he was sworn in as Prime Minister analysts say hes been shoring up support since i think you know im a big fan the Prime Minister keeps his Coalition Partners loyal barri warning them with political powers for example the chief minister positions in the state of johor and malacca m. P. s have also been appointed to important positions in Government Linked Companies or made special envoys over the weekend parties in the governing alliance said they would formalized the loose coalition the next Parliament Setting will take place in july and with the speaker of the lower house having accepted a proposal for a no confidence motion against the Prime Minister it is expected that a showdown can still take place in Parliament Later this year the latest Political Drama is far from over florence italy aljazeera kuala lumpur. Now thai airways will file for bankruptcy as had been seeking a 1800000000. 00 learn from the government which owns 51 percent of the company the airline is expected to undertake a sweeping restructure of its for these and was in trouble before the pandemic and has made a loss since 2017. Well is lee has lifted more of its coronavirus lockdown restrictions and what the Prime Minister is calling a calculated risk for the 1st time since march people can now go to cafes restaurants and bars more shops are open and so a libraries museums and even beauty salims Free Movement is now allowed within regions and churches can also hold mass Prime Minister giuseppe a concert has warns that cases will increase but says that italy cannot afford to stay locked down until a vaccine is developed will seem a good is a journalist based in the capital rome she gave us an update on just what people can expect as those measures that lifted. Here in italy things slowly aging back to some semblance of normality with all these openings happen people understand that now they can go to the shops they can go to the restaurants but theyre not exactly sure how those safety protocols are going to be applied applied and so i think here in rome they still an element of exile to lets not forget the country has suffered tremendously they say that they will allow Church Services to be held in the churches have been opened you can enter individually but they are now seeing massive celebrations can be conducted and so that means people can go in but they are going to be limiting the numbers some of them will be checking for temperatures before they enter they will be required to wear masks and also to practice social distancing inside so thats just one of the measures with regards to places of worship but everybody be will be looking at the beaches as well as we are hitting into the Summer Season a peak tourist season for the country lets not forget that italys g. D. P. Some 13 percent of it is reliant on tourism so thats a sector that they want to tappin and so on the 3rd of june theyre going to be allowing travel between the regions of its elite so hopefully that will encourage Domestic Tourism as well as travel from other e. U. Countries into italy but without that mandatory 2 week quarantine period so hoping to tap in on that Tourism Sector but of course it still remains to be seen whether people will feel comfortable enough to come and i think thats where the onus is on businesses to ensure people that those safety protocols are in place and that people themselves need to protect a pretty do those social distancing there just to ensure and protect themselves as well as well yemens u.

Well it is now time for the weather and jenny i see a Tropical Cyclone on one is closer to making landfall its getting ever closer by the hour yet this is a really powerful dangerous cycle in the stasi so let me show you with that he is going on with it now this is a satellite this is the mast not it not she stretches one side here the just over 2000 kilometers in a mens storm system now this has been happening in the last few hours look at this the winds going up now the good news if there is any is that it will not get any stronger than this what we call sustained winds of 260 kilometers an hour gusting just over 300 kilometers an hour obviously with winds like that the wave height has been. As high as 15 meters and then the storm surge is what is really dangerous 9 meters of course this is what happens this storm surge this is the forecast track as we go through tuesday the winds of course in the anti clockwise direction literally funneling all this water all this sea on to the coastal low lying areas in particular will be inundated on course the rain will continue to accumulate over the next few days so this is if you choose a wins a little bit less strong by then it about 230 kilometers an hour and then its actually set to make alarm fall somewhere to the east of kolkata and possibly along the border with bangladesh that will happen 1200 g. M. T. On wednesday so that is when the storm will actually make landfall that is a projection at the moment the winds at that point when it comes on shore 150 kilometers an hour its not going to produce some very heavy amounts of rain of course and that will really cumulus in the next 2. 00 to 3. 00 days as much as 300. 00 millimeters of rain but they amazing thing isnt stasia that 300 millimeters but we could see as much as 600 to 650 impossible on the dash of course is so low lying so theres millions of people at risk from this typhoon this likely and goodness will continue watching very closely thank you very much jenny still ahead i was there.

Living close the book looks a noble you like and the other student and rewind continues with josephs journey this is a. Struggle continues book. From bob did to now of course use districts we want on aljazeera. The latest news as it breaks the mind sits within a valley surrounded by bush land and most of its operations have been about 500 made his name the surface with details coverage the Malaysian Navy has recently prevented a boat carrying around 200. 00 range of refugees from landing from around the world summit leaders are accusing the opponents of trying to topple that by traveling with financial stability. Hello again youre watching aljazeera thats remind you about top stories this hour chinese president xi jinping has pledged 2000000000. 00 in global aid to contain the corona virus pandemic during an address to the World Health Organizations annual assembly she said that beijing supports an inquiry into the pandemic but only once its brought under control. A jewish settler has been found guilty of a high profile arson attack in 2015 which killed the palestinian talk that and his parents the family died after the man fire bombed their home in the village of. Libyas un recognized government says its retaken control of the alba base it was being used as world Khalifa Haftar headquarters in western libya. Well lets get more on that with honesty of democracy hes the founder and director of the sadic institute thats the fastest Public Policy think tank in libya today he joins us from london via skype and as this is clearly a key air base for half the can you talk us through the significance of this could this be a turning point in the war. Certainly its a game changer in terms of the last year of 25. 00 theres offensive. From on tripoli and i think in that sense we have to understand how its changed the military calculus now have to had importance to russian Defense Systems that in recent days in order to safeguard in that frozen a valley of the assets and it popped out that its really over this asset since 2015 in fact since the 1st civil war that was sparked by us and about that in 2014 now its a Major Development because it really alters the way in which there can continue his offensive on tripoli the way that he can use a logistics supplied to supply his his troops and provide the munitions and provide the platform to kind of circumvent. The ginnys troops now the jna which is the forces that control tripoli the u. S. Backed government sources that is going to freeze up the capacity now to move down towards the south of tripoli so what sort of you know which is the last line in hoppers offensive and it signifies that really theyre on a retreat so its a major Major Development in the last few arms and as i do want to ask you because you talk about this offensive on top and we have seen civilian casualties in that offensive over the last few weeks including attacks on residential neighborhoods that how is that part of any strategy. Well i think its part of a strategy that when really hope that what has been called it becomes much more dangerous and this forces of going to resort to towards shelling residential areas i mean the ports and tripoli the loss of really an apple in tripoli which is has damage that beyond almost beyond repair and many of the civilians that are living across southern tripoli have been displaced were looking at around 200000. 00 but in recent days even a displaced shelter so those people that have lost their homes find temporary housing in a displacement shelter that shelter was bombed according to a. P. Yesterday and 5 people including a small child a brat 5 years old bangladeshi child was killed so its really been this kind of strategy towards trying to erode the patience of a resident of tripoli and trying to change that into a pressure valve so the idea would be that the residents of tripoli going to beg the jinnah to collapse or to retreat or to offer a surrender to have to but its really the its a strategy of the desperate and i think its morally reprehensible and us this is a conflict thats become increasingly a proxy conflict with a good number of other countries have been getting involved russia to me is continuing the fighting really only possible with this outside sponsorship. Massively so i think for help that has lost the confidence and recent weeks i mean he launched a coup against his own political allies the house of represent Us Parliament in Eastern Libya who gave him a sequel and corps and 2015 and so many of the you know the International Parties that are sponsoring have to russia the has provided him with most who is in the magna group in recent kind of months and recently in the last year had about his main sponsor i would say is the u. A. E. Which is given the military support which is given in Financial Support which is given tactical support going to political supports and is losing the confidence of the u. A. E. But it should be known that there was absolutely no way in hell almost that this offensive could continue without the support of International Parties like russia not the un like egypt like france and without that combination there but theyve lost confidence i suppose that i dont have to but its unknown i mean there are many many things that could take place in the next couple of weeks next couple of months after that does the control see significant territory in Eastern Libya and who controls the oil wells really libya as a kind of economic backbone and those things i imagine will continue to be contested by both parties in the conflict and as just quickly because it seems to me both sides seem to alternately claim the upper hand right and defend its of terror so right now if you can give us a snapshot do you think is winning the battle at the moment and is there any kind of a resignation inside. There doesnt seem to be any resolution sort of i wouldnt say that but i mean to answer your 1st question in western libya towards the capital where the main institutions were the National Corporation which is libyans that its real economic backbone it controls all of the oil and its the only body that is like a legally so oil plus Libya Central Bank which is where all of the oil wealth goes those 2 situations are was going to be the key to any kind of battle in the future and those things are now safely in tripoli it looks it looks like happened in the retreats from us in the bia but in Eastern Libya as the controls is about territory i would say that the war is nowhere near finished but in terms of the war in western libya its over for the moment but this is going to be a long but to be disputed and bitterly contested war and i think the terms of arbitration and mediation its almost over because many of the parties that want to negotiate with talk to the u. N. Which is brokered those negotiations over the last couple of years every time they bring it up to the table it keeps telling them that he needs more time and its really the question of what he needs more time to do so i think its going to be the credibility of International Community dont arbitrate as a media in geneva you know in new york at the u. N. Headquarters how theyre going to come back and try to find a resolution thats because theyve also lost credibility because theyve not been able to condemn sanction or even penalize have in any of the last appearance of the last year and they cant bring him back from the spoiling of the company back from the you know the company about in the fortys because of you know shelling civilian neighborhoods for the last the last year and displaced somebody but they want a resolution to the problem of how there are schools but you need diplomatic tools in the table and up until now it seems that the international is reckless and or ambivalent and i think theyre going to lose a lot of a lot of good faith that they continue to be this way and the the founder and director of the Sadeq Institute thank you for joining us on out is there now the Nigerian Military says its killed 20 back around a fight is and that she says it intercepted a convoy that was on its way to attack villages and bugga and borno state the fight as well with mortars and rocket propelled grenades 9 Government Troops were injured in that operation. Now some egyptians are accusing the government of putting their lives at risk by building a fly over so close to their partner block near the capital cairo the transport minister says residents who want to move will be compensated but many egyptians say the project is just yet another example of the governments corruption victory against libya reports indies on the outskirts of egypts capital cairo a new flyover is being built its one of the many large projects launched by president Abdel Fattah Elsisi to fix the countrys finances and win the trust of the people but this is the reality for egyptians living in apartments close by the flier there is centimeters from their homes and in some cases their balconies look straight out onto the road covering the whole. Of this fire is dangerous now the sunlight but after the completed my flat will turn into something the resembles a grave or where holes the 1st 2nd and 3rd floors will never ever receive some lights again. The roads been planned for several years and once completed will link eases northern and Southern District its estimated that 750000 cars a day will use it but images such as this on social media ridicule the governments perceived incompetence. Of some floors were completely buried under the fly over while the balconies of others were blocks we were shocked to find burglars trying to break into some of the apartments opponents also accused the government of corruption there demanding to know how planning permission was granted to build a flyover in a densely populated residential area. In order to reckon with the street was a very wide and our parchman was expensive when we bought it when 2 days ago the transport minister came out here and simply said those 10 or 20 apartments dont matter so well disregard them no its important were not living in a random place here you cannot speak to us like this. The 12 kilometer long project is costing 317000000. 00 and is expected to be finished later this year the transport minister says residents will be compensated by the government and offer the chance to relocate but for many its too little too late the tory gayton be al jazeera.
