Becoming a new sea of tension and the french president is talking about sanctions on turkey. What long term consequences might there be after copa 19 has torn through the body affecting not just the lungs but the kidneys the heart and even the brain jonah home of her mothers hospital in scotland where theyre trying to find out. The current virus crisis is causing even more pain for workers in the worlds biggest economy more than 1400000 people in the u. S. Have claimed the unemployment benefit in just the past week is the 18th week in a row that numbers have topped a 1000000 now economists estimate the 25000000 people and out out of a job the white house says thats fundamental agreement on a new creative a stimulus Package Senate republicans are set to unveil the one trillion dollar aid bill in the coming hours search and infections has seen some businesses and schools closed for a 2nd time now there are almost 4000000. 00 cases in the u. S. The latest 1000000 has been recorded in just 16 days. Well lets go to a White House Correspondent jamie how could he joins me now from d. C. As weve been talking about these fluctuating unemployment figures kimberly we wait for reaction really dont we from the white house. Yeah the u. S. President has added to his schedule which was otherwise pretty empty Coronavirus Task force briefing late in the day around the 21 g. M. T. Hour so well be watching to see what the president says he continues to paint a rosy picture moving forward even in the face of these numbers that are going in the wrong direction in terms of infections things getting worse not better whether its jobless claims whether its infections when it comes to those jobless claims you put out the number there 1400000 its not the high we saw in march in 1 week of 6900000 americans filing for unemployment but certainly the worry is that things are climbing back because of these infections in fact dr Deborah Burkes talking about a number of cities around the United States where things are particularly concerning among them nashville miami even north of washington d. C. And baltimore but theyre also states that had looked pretty good a few weeks ago and now not so much including california and thats why there is this concern that there seems to be another wave going just as the president is continuing to try and push for the reopening of businesses and schools but just the opposite is happening now many local and state officials shutting things down in the face of these new infections around the United States of course it is all about the finances both on the personal level on the logs of the businesses all round the house wanted to send a standard for a stimulus package another said it wants to do something so very confusing for the ordinary american who really just needs help and they need help right now kimberly. Absolutely and youre right you really hit the nail on the head the house of representatives controlled by democrats has one vision for helping americans and republicans in the senate and this white house have a very different vision now we do know that there is that vision that the white house has hammered out with Senate Republicans that this being a veiled in the house rather in the Congress Today we did have an opportunity to hear from the treasury secretary steve minutia and about what this legislation looks like heres what he had to say. Weve been given the states plenty of money this money hasnt been used in by the why if it turns out we need more money than 25000000000 well go back and ask congress for more money the president wants to make sure people in Nursing Homes people going to schools they can get tested and they will but. The problem in all of this is that what republicans are pushing for essentially is to make sure that people get money but that its just enough in other words theyve been getting about 600. 00 a week thats about to expire and the new plan is to give people about 70 percent of what they were previously making to incentivize them to go back to work but if there are no jobs people are a little bit stuck now in the midst of all this now see palosi who has to agree to this package in order for it to become law is saying that this is a nonstarter what theyre looking for is money for state local government so theres a problem here and theres a tired tight timeline this all has to be done by the end of next week thats when Congress Goes on its annual recess for the update things which can be held at the White House Correspondent. Well as more people are added to the jobless tally many who spent months out of work its a waiting for official help us kimberly mentions from new york Gabriel Elizondo reports. Before sunrise hundreds of people line up outside an Unemployment Office in midwest city oklahoma theyve all lost their jobs amid the economic recession caused by coronavirus and are now waiting to get help and be laid unemployment checks Dieter Blakely used to work at a hotel casino in milwaukee wisconsin she was laid off in march and has yet to receive for Unemployment Benefits its been over 3 months with no income and been really stressed lately. Bills are piling up i worried all the time. Sometimes i went it got to be a little bit of a habit too when i woke up in the morning to look at my front door and see if there was an eviction notice on there but Deidre Blakely is just one of more than 50000000. 00 americans whove lost their jobs since a pandemic hit the u. S. In march Congress Passed a pandemic aid package that included an extra 600. 00 a week for anyone left unemployed by the pen demick the problem the money still hasnt reached many who need it so why are so Many Americans still waiting for their unemployment money i posed that question to Jesse Rothstein the former chief economist at the u. S. Department of labor he said the federal government and state governments are facing an tidal wave of Unprecedented Demand and that the systems set up in the 1970 s. To distribute unemployment money simply have not been updated and cant keep up when you triple or quadruple the volume of claims that come in the system the Computer Systems cant keep up. And to the extent that people need to be involved we dont have enough people. And so the whole the whole mechanism of the system is set up for a time thats very different from now and that leads to difficulties in getting out in times like this and with the pandemic still spreading across america and more states closing down again after reopening its feared the unemployment lines could grow along with the frustrations of those still waiting for help he rose and oh aljazeera new york the u.

Was a guard stude hall joining world war 2 campaigners say his 2 suspended sentence is too lenient w. K. Has more than. The offenses that this individual has been found guilty of occurred in 1944 when he was a 17 year old who was part of an s s unit in short of a concentration camp which then was in nazi germany now is in modern day poland the court that tried this individual was a youth court because the the age of the defendant when he committed the offenses was such that he couldnt be prosecuted in an adult court thats why the sentence passed on him is a suspended sentence a 2 year suspended sentence one of the interesting aspects of this case is as has been said that this is perhaps if not the last one of the very last opportunities that modern germany will have to prosecute those who it believes were guilty of crimes against humanity of war crimes during the nazi german era but it also is an opportunity to reflect upon the fact that many tens of thousands of people who had a much more intimate connection with the machinery of mass murder during that time were never prosecuted this specific individual was interviewed by west German Police extensively at the beginning of the 19 eighties and so the or florida keys were fully aware of what he had done and what he had not done during his time at that camp and they did not prosecute him then it was only in the course of the last 4 or 5 years and a decision was taken to proceed against this individual.

Well thats how it looks and thats the normal exit but then when you came with the disease that was tank its now thought that covert 19 is far more than just a response to treat disease and that is the picture of a very unwell individual. Infection and trauma can extend well beyond the lungs to other organs like the heart the kidneys even the brain psychosis stroke and Chronic Fatigue are all possible side effects with u. K. Hospital research being run by the universities of leicester and dum de still at the earliest stages thankfully a lot of patients have recovered and have got all that we hope these patients will recover fully think of thats an old self but we are fearful that they may not and they may have long term effects on their physical abilities or in their mental abilities i think its too early to say its not just a disease if its a long its a disease that affects the whole body nason and sponsor the whole body we know it can affect every organ watching happen in the air i think is a little different present for those worst affected the road back to full health can be a long one at the hughes vive the month in an induced coma and 17 days on ventilation machines kept him alive as his body ceased to function Getting Better still it is quite a while. Just to keep what you have to just go for a medical point of view as well because its difficult to speak to dr what knowledge you today and not a discussion of the doctor related to it which is we really gauge to really you know this is we dont know theres still a great deal that is not known about coping 19 exactly how it spreads whether its airborne or not and quite why some people are worse affected than others and for those who are most severely affected the question of long term consequences for which the medical fraternity has very few answers occupational therapist Elaine Tracey looks for signs among other things of Cognitive Impairment before patients could be sent home to fend for themselves can they remember how to complete basic tasks like make a cup of tea do you mean in the sense of brain them. About whether that is their parent thing or where that its a tangent we dont know my gut feeling is that im hoping its just because of the i. C. U. Im hoping that its not anything to do with actual call that its more the i. C. U. And bin and to beat it thats actually causing the problems so it was things thats questions heavy questions for those whove lived through the worst to cope with 19 and who now face its uncertain consequences dont hold aljazeera scotland the scientists in south africa say a large jump in the number of people dying from Natural Causes is undoubtedly related to the pandemic independent Committee Found that there were about 17 or more natural deaths and predicted and that includes people who didnt get tested for covert 19 or who were unable to seek treatment because of south africas overwhelmed hospitals.

V. Off. Using this Machine Learning techniques and big Data Analysis and how we how are we sure these are vessels always names from china because some of them some of these vessels cation really tracking devices. Satellite right tracking devices and there during their fishing trips to north korea we could track them track their movements from ports in china back to court in china and their movements on this tracking device indicate that they also fish in China National waters where no other nations are allowed to fish and fish and only we crosschecked this number of detected vessels on the water observation by south korean authorities when these vessels originated from china crossing into north korean waters through south korean waters.

What we seem to be witnessing and have witnessed over the last 456 weeks is certain governments being prepared to weaponize almost their involvement with the premier league so weve obviously seen what appears to be an emerging story around china in the Chinese Government and in the broadcast of premier league games but then what weve also seen over recent weeks is is the World Trade Organization making as an assessment of piracy case in which an Organization Called be at kew has been involved. We know that the Saudi Arabians and the Saudi Arabian government has responded to that assessment by the World Trade Organization in a particular way. What now seems to be happening is is is that the premier league the Saudi Arabian governments. Be in sports and possibly the catherine governments who are in something of an on something of a little bit of a collision course here and so what we find is is is that at the heart of this is the premier league presumably supported by the British Government but the 2 of them together are having to fight 2 fairly big fires right now coming out of saudi arabia and coming out of china.
