And army wellings with the sports news as yet another Major League Baseball team is hit by coronavirus. People returns with social justice hala on its agenda to hear from the born giants i see this hour. The corona virus has already had a profound impact on the Global Economy changing the way we live work and travel now the World Health Organization says this will reverberate for generations at a meeting of the w h os Emergency Committee the director general Ted Ross Gabrielle sauce said the pandemic was a once in a Century Health crisis effects of which will be felt for decades to come it was more optimistic news though from americas top Infectious Disease expert dr anthony found she believes a vaccine could be available within months were also starting to learn more about the impact of covert 19 on the economy the pandemic has plunged the eurozone economy into a historic recession the sharpest drop in 25 years of rec. Course elsewhere about 4000000 people in the north of england are returning to corona virus restrictions because of a surge in infections there but we begin in the United States where the countrys leading Infectious Disease expert is as we were saying dr anthony found she was questioned by congress on the coronavirus and demick this is what he had to say about the progress made in the race to find a vaccine the response that was induced was really quite favorable and as ive said often and are repeated for the record now theres never a guarantee that youre going to get a safe and effective vaccine but from everything weve seen now in the animal data as well as the early human data we feel cautiously optimistic that we will have a vaccine by the end of this year and as we go into 2021 or found she also testified on the u. S. Response to the pandemic mike hanna is in washington d. C. With more on that. There were confirmation on some very important factors one is that there is a lag interest in this was confirmed by the assistant secretary of Health Services that test results are taking between 3 to 5 days on average to come back and sometimes as many as 15 Health Experts have been adamant that in order to come to grips with this pandemic of the United States more than 2000000. 00 tests per day need to be conducted at the moment that figure is way below 1000000 so certainly theres a shortfall in the testing and in the results of the testing despite the repeated comments from the white house to this particular fact another point of major difference was the president trying treated in will try and during the hearing objecting to a graph that shows the massive rise in infection in the u. S. As opposed to europe saying that this is because the u. S. Is conducting more testing than anywhere else in the world dr anthony bocce very clearly did not support this he stated just that at the inception of the pandemic the United States shutdown by some 50 percent europe shut down by some 95 percent he continued that when some of the states began to open they dropped the mitigating measures too quickly and this accounts for the massive spike that youre seeing so certainly there was some clarity in terms of the mistakes the many mistakes the administration has made but the ultimate intent of the briefing to get some kind of clear National Program in place well it appears that were very far from that at this stage well in all the developments in the United States a 600. 00 a week unemployment benefit is coming to an end from saturday millions of people will no longer have access to a federal relief fund and politicians say they are nowhere near a deal to replace it our White House Correspondent kelly hellcat has the latest on that. The major obstacles are really a couple of things number one is the amount that should be given to americans who are out of work and struggling as a result of coke at 19 the democrats believe that it should continue to be 600. 00 a week republicans say it should be 200. 00 a week and till september and then it should be 70 percent of your previous wages they say this is just a really high price tag cant keep going as we have been for the last few months now the other big Sticking Point is over Liability Protection republicans are insisting that there should be protection for hospitals for governments for businesses you name it anything that kind of facilitates the public they cant be blamed if someone says i got covert 19 well in your facility democrats say thats not going to work that they dont want that Liability Protection in place instead what they want to see is something for state and local governments giving them more resources so the really arguing about Different Things very far apart in terms of the amounts and as you mentioned the checks that are currently in place running out and there is no sort of measure to move forward now republicans have said look this is put in place some sort of short term stopgap legislation democrats are saying were not going to do that in fact we gave you legislation 2 months ago you stalled so look at it the 2 sides really very far apart but at least theyre still talking and this is significant because they were supposed to go on vacation as of today now we understand that vacation is on hold until they work this out. Well the full impact of months of covert 19 lockdowns and limitations on trade in euro zone countries is becoming clara figures just released show the eurozone has shrunk by more than 12 percent over the past 3 months thats the biggest drop on record for the block of 1900 s. Spain is the hardest hit to its economy shrinking by 18 and a half percent italy and portugal have also seen big downturns european leaders are trying to counter the effects with massive stimulus packages the national and. That includes an 850000000000. 00 recovery fund. Bruna straight to is the chief economist at lakefield Partners Joins us now via skype from jericho and of course the interesting thing when you look at these figures is the divergence in the impact of the virus in juice lockdowns on the economy you have a country like spain doing a lot worse than say germany what does this suggest about the the shape of the pace of economic recovery in the or isnt. Well good evening i think what it does say 1st of all is the medical impact it has broken 3 clearly the countries that went into the toughest lockdown are also seeing the biggest negative impact on their economy and germany had a very good strategy in containing the virus as much as possible and its been hope is the real sort of the big tears and the images from madrid and on top of that the way that the economy is composed is clearly different spain generates about 16 percent of their g. D. P. Out of tourism which equates to about 160000000000. 00 was germany is much less Effective Immediately it will have secondary effect in the car industry in the airlines in the airbus for example but its only in a secondary effect so that is clearly why that the numbers are down which i suppose it is going to have businesses being restored and people going back to work but the in the that the demand aspect of the story is more interesting isnt it because you still have a great deal of uncertainty of a Household Spending that still might be. People might be reluctant to actually go out and do the things that theyve done before so the difficult part is gauging how behaviors might change. I think that to me to recall me is clearly something which will impact us for a very long time this is also the 1st time ever i think that consumers were not allowed to consume any more hence creating a huge impact on the demand cycle i think that is is very new and that will remain it will you know completely change the way that we go to work the way we travel and all that so it will have a very long Lasting Impact and also have a very long lasting shadow on the economy because of that i think this is very unique to this crisis apart from the medical point of view the Consumer Confidence will be dictated by the year pollution of the pandemic and that is clearly how the economy will then be impacted how the unemployment will be impacted and so on and so forth when unlike the banking crisis in 2 180009. 00 whats been noticeably absent here now is any sort of coordinated response for the Global Economy a year looking at all the possible effects from this for example and intensified pushback or assistance to globalization international coordination. Most likely i think what everyone saw was the weakness of their supply chains if you look at the mask and how slow that supply came came about i think we will look again into what is true digicam what is not knowing that the supply chain how it initially started is a very vulnerable thing and i think that is something that governments will look at again and perhaps have much more production of vulnerable strategic assets closer at home clearly i think you cannot today just turn around to global cycles which are out there but it will definitely be looked at again well just on a on a country level but also on a micro level on a Company Level thank you bruno the straight to chief economist at lake phil part of securing us thank you. It the news hour live from london much more still ahead and 8 amnesty libyan teenagers recruited by forces loyal to wall of cliff after are released from jail also.

These nurses may not have been able to prevent covert 19 from claiming so many lives in brazil but theyre stopping the traffic in Rio De Janeiro to let people know why theyre losing the fight and even some of their own 500 Frontline Health workers have died and 170000 have been infected and they blame the government. Thats why he joined a coalition of trade unions representing 1000000 Health Care Professionals to take president also natl to the International Criminal court they accuse him of genocide and crimes against humanity for downplaying the virus and ignoring their rights to basic Safety Measures you know their Health Care Workers have to find their own means to get tested thats absurd if we dont know where sick will be spreading the disease to all those who are treating including prisoners Indigenous People brazil is facing the Largest Health care crisis in its history unemployment is soaring and the president is that odds with the Supreme Court and Congress Despite that a recent poll suggests that if elections were held today also not a would defeat all potential opponents. One reason is the governments emergency aid during the pandemic although with a temporary measure it has reduced it through poverty with what was level 40 years political scientist total says the 120. 00 monthly handouts are benefiting half of brazils population and are helping also now to win the support of the poor if only for a while and thats Something Interesting because they were not part. Of. The president s much more a middle class politician than somebody that speaks to the poor but even so because. Of the basic emergency. Room its very high for the country so the governments not going to be able to keep it for a long time perhaps until the end of the year but not for 2021 for Health Care Workers like libya sitting back and watching the tide turn against nadal is not enough they insist on taking him to the International Criminal court even though the admit the chances of his prosecution remain low monica and not give just sirrah Rio De Janeiro. When our International Aid organizations say more and more lebanese families are losing their income and sinking into poverty save the children says half a 1000000 kids are hungry and thats just in beirut the government is showing no sign of fighting corruption to get a much needed learn from the International Monetary fund say in a hotel reports from the lebanese capital.

With them up on the land where borrowing money to feed her children for 5 months short on house rent my husband isnt working my family will die from hunger if the situation continues. Children are already hungry more than half a 1000000 of them in the greater beirut area according to the charity save the children poverty is a real thing some children currently now go to bed hungry the negative coping mechanisms for the time being are able to kind of fill some of these gaps but on the long run if theres no macro level and sustainable solution they will be done. Already half the country lives in poverty here in the Northern City of tripoli families struggle with soaring food prices due to the local currency losing 80 percent of its value. Children are being deprived from buying what they want people are under so much oppression of. Decades of corruption and mismanagement are blamed for running the economy into the ground and political leaders dont seem to have a solution. Nongovernmental organizations say 80000 people have lost their jobs in recent my. Bringing the total number of unemployed to 430000. 00 or 32 percent of the workforce many a war and up to 1000000. 00 out of the 5000000. 00 lebanese population could be jobless by the end of the year. The World Food Program says 2 thirds of households in lebanon have lost their income and some have started to sell whatever they can to survive about. To buy food and water the commode commit a year many people are in debt and depend on charity but those who were able to help now need help themselves yes there are no lives being lost as typical Natural Disaster or a typical war but lebanese people that live in lebanon or a few. Of those they all are falling off the cliff so you have wives at risk aid agencies are already calling it a humanitarian crisis as lives continue to be destroyed by lebanons financial meltdown. So much more still to tell you about this hour millions of muslim sat upright the start of the holiday many though under the strict restrictions as a result of coronavirus and then in school with me wellings more problems from Major League Baseball as another team is hit by the virus. Plenty of nice warm summer sunshine really throughout much of europe yes the same base misa cloud we have seen the funnel sold but really it is about the heat 1st of all look at this in the southwest of france so much is in the high 30 celsius but of course it does mean its. Very hot when youre out and about the people doing what they can to cool down all the seas in the water and also in many cases having a nice cool drink or a nice ice cream that into Northern Spain time which is actually even higher in the low fortys celsius and its just a similar scene as you can see using the water to keep cool now we are girls going to still see some very well weather across much of the southwest again through the central areas you can see if we go through south and other bits and pieces of clouds and showers and also the weather across the u. K. Northern france east how much is coming right the way down because we have goals at the admitting in from the northwest and that will bring like you want to show the sunny an increase in the amount of cloud on sunday across the u. K. Just scattered showers throughout and quite a line of really very heavy rain work its way through germany and as you can see sitting here across Northern Areas of italy but to the east of there it is still fine and dry with those temperatures on the high side you can see where the war man is in place you can see how it is cooling down across the northwest as well but even so in london 10 inches around the average and cool still very warm in the south of spain. Yes. And the disease counts 50 percent of the deaths of children and. All. But. Likely to receive any childhood education. Do you. Believe to see you leave that to. Cease to. Welcome back look at the headlines while the Health Organization has warned the effects of the crown a virus pandemic will be felt for decades meanwhile the top u. S. Believes a vaccine could be available within months. Coronavirus pandemic has punched the eurozone into a historic recession g. D. P. Has fallen by over 12 percent. Well coronavirus restrictions have been reimposed in parts of Northern England after a rise in infections pubs restaurants cafes and gyms remain open but people are being told not to socialise with other households john howell reports on this now from oldham and matches the. Localized restrictions affecting millions of people in Northern England who have come to the worst time in the market was the population that came into effect on the. Other one of islams holiest dates that i had for all night oh it is a lockdown kind of comfort calc overpraise you know what is was going on with the another log that really confused people that its a good faith leaders say the Community Feels that down having done Everything Possible to mitigate the spread of the virus there is a kind of confusion. And i want to say hate but i would say that the people who are shocked with that kind of immediate action thats taken place the Prime Minister has warned of the need to act fast in the face of rising infection rates a possible 2nd wave he said it was time to put the brakes on a return to normality our assessment is that we should now squeeze that brake pedal squeeze that brake pedal in order to keep the virus under control i know that the steps that were taking will be a real blow to many people everyone obviously whose wedding plans have been disrupted or who cannot mouse celebrate ied in the way that they would wish and im really really sorry about that but we simply cannot take the risk the deputy leader of all the council one of the areas affected says the measures are necessary even if their introduction was and the model messages from National Government are just not helpful at all the create a Lawful Society and in the way that theyve been delivered what he has done is create division in our communities and that is something. Thats a deal you dont appreciate the opposition says its a new low in Government Communications during this crisis though theres no denying that infection rates are on the rise but among the questions the Muslim Community here has is why private households are a problem while drinking in pubs and bars is not i think if it was in the pope it be fine i think thats really the message that sends i think if it was on the seaside it would be fine and i think what we need to really do is address the question why is everyone feeling angry and its not some people in the community its everyone everyone feels that its been targeted at them this was the scene during fridays heat wave on the english south coast some call it prejudice others pass it off as incompetence but it does seem that in parts of the country code 19 and the governments handling of the crisis is opening up a Bitter Community divides Joho Al Jazeera Oldham in the north of england. Nearly 155 fighters are trying to extinguish fires in western russia as high temperatures continue to wreak havoc in the country a fire and then again common nature reserve in the year old region has spread across 120 acres Emergency Personnel say the hilly terrain is making it difficult to put the fire out and then 10 kilometers a fire control lines have been enforced to try to help the spread of the blaze record temperatures have been noted in russia this year. Well nasa satellite imagery is revealed to ice caps in the arctic which have melted because of Global Warming now these 2 images which are shown side by side here were taken in 2015 and then in 2020 and they detail how the ice caps have completely disappeared they used to be on the hasan plateau of canadas ellesmere island the ice caps that remain in the area are melting less quickly but experts still think they all doomed because of the Climate Crisis on past 5 years have been the hottest on record. Well alina is a distinguished policy fellow at the Grantham Research institute of Climate Change and environment joins us from london via skype so you know every so often we have a conversation about exaggerated weather patterns and extreme weather what a we learning old what more is revealed by that sort of satellite imagery about the effect on Climate Change on our weather. I think the science it is very clear that Climate Change is real it is happening its not something that is going to come in the future but were missing it and i think the satellite images confirm that i think doing the cause of it down and the crisis over the past few months we have seen the little bit of progress. In terms of global emissions rise which was not by choice but to the log down and sick land in the woods it however as it was that the building and the economy and take measures to prevent the recession somehow by medical workers or pure lation we really need to see how we can rebuild from korg but also step up efforts so that as Climate Change. Oh the jew think that that is likely to happen because obviously there is a great deal of attention on kovan 1000 governments all around the world really struggling to stay ahead of the crisis and now now that lockdown restrictions are starting to ease the focus is really on restoring economies to that form of health and is Climate Change just i mean you can sign that this is just fallen off the agenda. I think very on the stand that when the show its around the governments concern and were concerned that the means of health. Measures to protect the lives of the population and so all of the out the policy concerns took the best backseat however as we start looking to rebuild the economy. We will have to invest significant amounts of money so i think if we look at the data by International Labor organisation by 1600000000 jobs globally in the Informal Sector our current lead that he is which is about half of the Global Workforce and so the governments are committing not significant comforted packages International Institutions the latest estimates show that Multilateral Development banks might commit up to 250000000000. 00 to help countries come out of the crisis so its also very important that opportunity because we can come out of the crisis investing into Brown Industries or we can come out of the crisis to malaysia to put in the economy and then a very good examples of how the latter can be so youll saying that the kind of a crisis could actually produce an opportunity to. Sort of reshape the way our economies what i want to ask you about the developing well because speaking earlier on the program about the impact of the crying of virus on the eurozone economy but of course poor a countries are really ill equipped to deal with an Economic Contraction from the crying a virus and of course theyre on able to deal with the effects of Climate Change i mean what needs to be done to help them. Well i think i will give you an example of how weak at how developing countries war and to cutting from core that and also the us and climate sense one of the very important issues for many developing countries as access to energy where a large share of population in countries like india but also many countries in africa dont have access to energy yet so want to mess with bits and ask them coal fired power stations for example and the other choice is to stimulate their own you know bill and its and and that is very good date so which shows that actually investment in that in your bill and of have Great Potential for creating jobs and but a comedy from court it will be about creating jobs so i can give you the data from the international that in your bill and it is a agency had quoted to nobble diaby and what they estimate is that the additional investment and that ignoble and we could create jobs what to 2000000. 00 jobs in the new plan that just sector by 2050 which would be 4 times more than the jobs in the new bill and thats what we got into the house that is also Great Potential to create jobs and the deficiencies sector. And then this president laid to to technologists which improve consumption of energy for example efficient appliances insulation for houses and so on so that a very good gains and using a recovery package to promote Development New job creation with all sort of the action of Greenhouse Gas emissions Going Forward ok well thank you for joining us and im shedding some light on these 2 i suppose converging issues in some ways alina. Thank you. Well parts of florida are under a hurricane watch as storm moves up the caribbean heading for the east coast of the u. S.

Fishing rights is a major Sticking Point in bricks it a go shea sions british fisherman want full access to the e. U. Market but in return e. U. Boats want to continue to fish and u. K. Water has negotiated say thats impossible now french fishermen are threatening to stop british fishermen from getting their catches into the shops in the 2nd part of our series natasha reports from normandy in northern france. Heading into the English Channel off the coast of normandy the picturesque cobber of poor all receding into the distance the cloud has worked as a fisherman for 30 years hes passionate about his job but scared for his future because of braggs it he worries that if britain and the e. U. Fail to reach a deal by the end of the year french fishermen like him could be barred from fishing in waters off the u. K. Coast. Were scared because u. K. Waters represent 40 to 60 percent of our revenue so for us it would be catastrophic its unimaginable for decades french fishermen have fished legally in waters off britain where fish are abundant british fishermen have the same rights off the french coast where they mainly gather shellfish drums father was a fisherman his brother runs a Seafood Restaurant fishing links generations being denied access to u. K. Waters would be particularly devastating to the fisherman from the normandy coast because so many of the boats like this one off family owned and run Small Businesses and that is why so many of the fishermen here say that they wont give up their livelihoods without a fight to claim record with the need to british export some 70 percent of their fish to the e. U. If we get to december 31st and they throws out of their waters then we will block our ports stop the ferries no british boats reach french soil the french and british fishermen have clashed before in 2018 around over scollop sphere laid up a sea his fishing representative says that the u. K. s reliance on the e. U. Is an export market and is a valuable bargaining card in breaks in negotiations but hes not necessarily a winning hand. With the e. U. Market needs fish imports or france imports 80 percent of the seafood it consumes so we need u. K. Fish so although we can pressure the british and threaten tariffs on board. Intros is not a long Term Solution because proficient they need to fish. Ties between britain and france run deep on this coast where the d. Day landings took place in the 2nd world war the 2 countries were united against enemy powers few here want the fishing dispute to sour relations with an historic partner but unless britain and france can break the stalemate in the brigs it fishing dispute and reach a compromise that works for both sides frances fisherman say theyll be forced to use whatever tactics they can to battle for their survival Natasha Butler aljazeera put on best normandy.
