Where we begin in the United States where figures just released show another 3200000. 00 people have filed for Unemployment Benefits keeping a prolonged track to be the worst month on record for job losses well that means around 33000000 people have registered as unemployed in 7 weeks economists think Economic Growth in the u. S. Could plummet by. 30 percent in the 2nd quarter in europe the bank of england expects the u. K. s Economic Production to shrink by 14 percent this year and unemployment to rise to 8 percent the European Unions been warned to brace for its worst ever recession with the economy tipped to slump by 7. 4 percent of the years of growth but there are signs of recovery in china exports rose for the 1st time this year by 3 and a half percent after many factories reopened our White House Correspondent kimberly how he joins us now from washington d. C. So no letting up in those weekly figures coming in kimberly. No and this number is expected to climb but what were seeing now in terms of the accumulation of claims filed is that really we are at now Great Depression levels and its hitting in every sector of the u. S. Economy initially it was some of the sort of immediate industries such as restaurants and the Tourism Industry but now were seeing this sort of secondary effect even in terms of some governments that realize that these offices where many people are going to work who are now going to be closed for some time and i think whats distinct here when were talking about historical events such as the Great Depression is what makes this different is the swiftness in which these jobs were lost the fact that just 8 weeks ago what we were seeing in the United States was a 50 year low in terms of the Unemployment Rate just 3. 5 percent now of course were in double digits and that number is expected to climb so this is something that the u. S. President is is concerned about he says repeatedly but this is also why many fear he is rushing to reopen this u. S. Economy given the fact that he had hoped in this would bring him sort of a swift reelection in november because of the historically low unemployment now historically d high were talking about opening up the economy can really where is the c. D. C. Heading when it comes to those guidelines on easing the long. Yeah this is a developing story that is coming out at this hour what we know is that of course the crowbars taskforce many weeks ago back in mid april released guidelines for reopening the country said it would not extend the stay at home orders in the United States but what were learning now is that the centers for Disease Control or c. D. C. A well respected body that americans look to for reliable and unbiased Health Advice put out its own guidelines for reopening the country and for example how mass transit would operate how local restaurants and daycares would operate what we are learning is that the trumpet administration completely shelved that report and this is certainly concerning to Many Americans because the fear is that public Health Advice is now being politicized now aljazeera reached out to the white house for comment on this white house official tells us that that c. D. C. Guideline was overly prescriptive and broad and thats why they disregarded that advice going instead with their own they say that the reopening of a country cannot be one size fits all which theyre alleging that the c. D. C. Guidelines were the white house official telling aljazeera that what you recommend for new york city example is not what you could also recommend for a more rural state so the white house pushing back on this reporting but at the same time this is a headline that will make Many Americans uncomfortable thanks so much kimberly how. Faced with those soaring unemployment figures this years University Graduates are coming into the worst jobs market in this century many have launched today that theyre leaving their courses with little hope of a successful start to their careers rob reynolds reports.

S. Economy falters there are signs of recovery in china where the current virus originated its 4 months since the outbreak began and business is looking up katrina u. Is in beijing with more. There is some Real Recovery in chinese trade and this is really a surprise to many analysts they were predicting up to an 11 percent drop and some people are tribute ing this to the fact that perhaps during april there was an increase in exports of p. P. T. Or protective medical gear such as masks and respirators also one other analysts are speculating thats because there was a backlog that needed to be filled in terms of export orders or all customers were front loading orders ahead of what they expected to be a bad pandemic year and also the other thing is that paps this concern about demands dropping maybe thats yet to hit chinas exports maybe with still maybe the worst is still yet to come thats also a possibility what we did see though was a fall in imports they fell by 14. 2 percent compared to march and thats a 10. 2 percent drop year on year and that was worse than what analysts expected partridge peregrine is an International Economist and head of research and market these are is its too early to say whether theres any sort of economic recovery in china right now. I think we can tax the chinese export numbers where they have to pinch of salt i think its very much down to the fact that china was largely shop for 3rd brand and now so you have as we said a chance but what were saying is very clear we just look at all the status from across the world look at germany into soldiers in. The sense that Going Forward. See china is that for fall again so i also not only that when we look at the actual level of consumer activity in china this so far far below what it was previous but the recession itself when you go surprisingly the economy sort of gone off a cliff and it seems to be stabilizing at very low levels now and we start as lockdowns these we should say demand rise slowly the other side of things is as far as the virus concerns everyone is taking tiptoeing basically into. Getting back to activity but we know from the whole social distance saying and the behaviors Going Forward that people talk about a new normal we dont call it that we call it the new abnormal and what were saying is that here just destruction on both demand and supply and a permanent hit to Consumer Confidence this will this will people will become more cautionary they save more which in turn restrains the Recovery Companies cut back on investment that also restrains the recovery and the reality is were going to see these very very sharp rise to get Us Employment data tomorrow the official unemployment numbers we will see unemployment come back down but its good it took us 10 years in the u. S. For unemployment to to get back to where it was in 2007 new data from the u. K. And shown that people from black asian and other ethnic minority backgrounds are more likely to die from covert 19 than white people figures released by the office of National Statistics show black men and women are 4 times more likely to die after being diagnosed with covert 19 than those who are white the risk of death is also significantly higher for men and women bangladeshis pakistanis or indian origin. Of the report says such people have been disproportionately affected by Underlying Health conditions and economic disadvantages show them hussein is a British Government adviser and board member of the Bradford Foundation trustee joins us by skype from bradford in the United Kingdom good to have you with us one thing which is kind of interesting about this report of oh it does say that some of these ethnic groups you know they suffer from disadvantaged circumstances it says that even after taking that into account there is still this parity in the death rate why. Some you thank you for having is here absolutely i mean this is something that has been reported previously and at long last in everyone is an ingredient that minority communities are disproportionately affected. One of the reasons why is we know that in the n. H. S. In the u. K. For example around one 3rd of the frontline start from bomb communities we also know that i present each of them communities working chalk rolls up customer facing and this has a high level of interaction and brings about the risks and of course youve already mentioned the social economic disadvantage the previous esteeming Health Conditions the multigenerational households. I guess i mean when you combine all these together it really is a recipe for disaster. Should be true mores also then put into place you know when nora he areas or whats the solution do you think. Well i mean we known for many years here across the u. K. Particularly in the. Communities black minority ethnic communities the inner city areas are highly congested and the the properties and the Health Inequalities the education of qualities d theres many such factors that bring us to a situation across the u. K. d that further investment needs to be made by the government now we know that the government has announced an investigation into Health Inequalities its very important that they empower local communities to be able to deliver change for themselves the very best help in finding a vaccine especially the part of this problem might have something in there with genetics i mean this nervously Ongoing Research and its important that we also learn from whats going on in other parts of the world. You know i know from the research that is going on its not a quick process to get to a vaccine however the important thing that we must look at is d how can we show that Going Forward these types of inequalities are addressed and we ensure that those that are from these smaller communities are part of that research to try to investigate and and ensure that you know theres a very real risk that we could have a 2nd round as been mentioned previously. And significant investment needs to go in to find a vaccine awfully high thank you very much for your thoughts on that last time. 3 more still ahead on the news hour including ranks 3rd choice for Prime Minister takes charge after months of wrangling and a growing financial crisis plus. An inside look at. The day when the rubbish collection is one of the most essential jobs and now one of the most dangerous. And in sports spains top football stars are tested for coronavirus in an effort to get them back on the pitch. In israel the formation of a unity government between former political rivals benny gantz Benyamin Netanyahu and benny gantz has been approved by parliament. And some israelis are angry about netanyahu forming a government while still under indictment for corruption the Coalition Government will assume office after the president approves that in the who is the Prime Minister so happening after months of political deadlock and 3 inconclusive elections in less than a year how to force it joins us live from west jerusalem with some reaction to that so does it look like the road is finally open to netanyahu now to form the next government. Very much so and its pretty extraordinary when you think of the fact that he hasnt been able to win any of those 3 elections and he is still under indictment in 3 separate Corruption Cases that trial starts this month may the 24th and yet hes not only survived but he has prevailed hes going to be in charge for the 1st 18 months of this government what he needed for that to happen as well as obviously the decision by his former rival to join into a unity government with him was the approval of the high court. Which rejected various petitions against both netanyahu own legal status crediting him from leading a new government and also legal questions about the very nature of this unity government deal it gave that approval last night and he required pretty fundamental changes to israeli law in order to get this deal through because neither he nor benny gantz really fully trusts each other and so theyve come up with this kind of jewel headed government one man will be Prime Minister the other will maintain the status as alternate Prime Minister while the while his rival slash partner is in charge so Benjamin Netanyahu will go for the 1st 18 months benny gantz for the next 18 months as the option of a 4th year of power sharing after that as well and so there were fundamental changes to israels basic rules required to be passed they were passed this morning now the m. K. Is the members of the knesset have to do is give the president approval of a majority of them the netanyahu to form a government was this theyve an exaggeration plants do they go into top game now. Well that is the message thats been coming from Benjamin Netanyahu he in his dealings on the negotiations for this government he won a pretty important victory against gantz who is much more cautious and more concerned at least publicly about the impact of annexation on israel in terms of regional stability and partnerships with of the countries but he has relinquished any hope he had of a veto over that so his party is talking about trying to slow the progress from within but netanyahu if he wants to and if he gets approval from the United States he can under the terms of the deal to press forward with an extension of nearly a 3rd of the occupied west bank any time from july the 1st on whats now there are some questions over whether netanyahu really wants to stir things up to the extent that he would do so also whether the United States wants to see the kind of fallout that there would be with its regional allies as well but the message coming from both governments publicly is from netanyahu that he wants to do it and from the u. S. Ambassador here in israel and also with the prospects of a visit from the secretary of state might pompei o to jerusalem next week the signals are lining up that the u. S. Is at least publicly standing ready to approve if he wants to go ahead all right thanks so much how a force of that libya now and links between all of that if i have to and the kremlin the United Nations says arou
