Lockdowns all shops and businesses are reopening for the 1st time in 2 months but some restrictions remain. At east africa battles the pandemic and a plague locust devastating crops across the region experts who are better visit 2nd wave this year of poses an unprecedented threat to Food Security. Im told me a lot of well welcome to the program the coronavirus has reach one of the most secure complexes in the world the white house people working near u. S. President donald trump have been told they need to wear face masks after 2 aides tested positive because of a covert 19 a number of top officials including Vice President mike pence in south isolation the virus has so far killed about 80000 people in the u. S. The outbreak at the white house could undercut a push by President Trump to reopen the u. S. Economy. A swift change in attitude as the white house scrambles to prevent the corona virus from spreading among employees everyone entering the west wing where the president works must wear a face mask that is almost everyone President Donald Trump has refrained from wearing a mask in public and private and says he still doesnt see the need. Well there are certain distance from mayor there are certain distance from each other they do. In the case of me im not at the im not close to anybody id like to be close to these 2 gentlemen theyre hardworking great men but they just said frankly lets keep it this way so obviously in my case im very far away from everyone the new facemask directive comes after 2 staffers tested positive for coverage 19 katie miller the spokeswoman for Vice President mike pence and one of President Trumps own valleys. Pence is now in south isolation along with 3 other high profile members of the governments current virus task force they include leading epidemiologists Dr Anthony Fauci the face of the administrations response. Officials at the white house say that stuff 1st are being tested regularly but employees and reporters working in the west wing have been voicing concerns over their safety the west wing is a very old workspace lots of small offices next to one another some of them dont even have windows and ones that you have windows im not even certain they can open the windows or fresh air because of security concerns and everyone is asking each other in these narrow hallways going back and forth multiple meetings every day. As officials try to contain the virus within the white house President Trump is continuing to urge u. S. States to reopen their economies despite many wondering if its only still too soon. I spoke to a deal in a correspondence death and simmons in washington and i asked him why such mixed messages on the coronavirus were coming out of the white house. The governors its the local communities the mayors of the cities where actually are at the front line who actually create the rules and regulations and saying like this is all the public has to react however commander in chief and president of the United States doesnt seem to be in any need of a mask or seems to be risk averse i dont know the problem here is that its all or the context here is that its all politics its symbolic politics and you mentioned the elections this is whats actually important for trump he cannot find himself able or willing to wear masks that sends the wrong signal for him that 2 staffers are now. Coronavirus positive and self as elation of course is bad enough for him politically speaking symbolically speaking he doesnt want any thing to do with that and wearing a mask is falls right into this category for him i guess can the u. S. Economy reopen and recover even when the white house is unsafe. You know thats a good question because thats the thats the key question in across the country how do you restart the economy if you dont know really how widespread the virus is be as soon as you open the country up a little bit to local communities open up for business again and states open up for business again. And the numbers are then in a trajectory up north again so there is no and theres a trust issue of course people need to believe that they are safe before they go to work otherwise nobodys going to work and you do not open the economy then so thats the quote. The big problem here for the president and everybody involved with solving this problem ok Stephanie Simmons in washington d. C. Thank you france has begun to lift its coronavirus lockdown after 8 weeks of restrictions people can now leave their homes without a permit most shops and businesses have reopened and many children will soon return to school with 26000 fatalities france has the worlds 5th highest cove in 1000 death toll. The streets of paris starting to look more like they usual crowded selves after 8 weeks in lockdown french citizens are venturing out again and its been a cautious reopening with most shops welcoming customers and many people returning to work.

Will see if it was the recess hour as i will take in the children and the parents and to the school will they wear masks what will we do if children are sick or run a High Temperature so there are lots of questions in terms of organization. That you need. The looser restrictions of based on encouraging numbers including a decline in daily coronavirus deaths or thora hes warned that restrictions could be reimposed if necessary. The hope is the prudence will be enough to further reduce the spread of the virus allowing friends to continue on its road to recovery. U. W. Correspondent lisa lewis is in paris and we asked her how those 1st aid had gone quite smoothly i must say according to a recent poll 2 thirds of the french are quite right about the lifting of restrictions and you could see that most of the Public Transport Network was not actually at cracking point there were only a few people taking the metro taking the trains there were some exceptions though for example on line 13 which flings cents on the knee frances porous department to the center of parents and where many people actually have to go back to work on that line additionally there was a technical problem this morning thats why the 1st few trains were really popped about apart from that most trains were quite empty people have been reporting that there are only a few people taking taking trains and most of them varying masks and trying to keep a distance from each other.
