We begin in the United States where millions more people have filed for Unemployment Benefits he keeps april track to be the worst month for job losses since records began more than 33000000. 00 people have filed for unemployment now in just the last 7 weeks economists say growth could plummets by a 3rd in the 2nd quarter in the u. K. The picture is also bleak the bank of england expects economic output to shrink by 14 percent this year and unemployment to rise to 8 percent the European Union had earlier warned to brace for the worst ever recession with the economy tipped to slump by 7. 4 percent but figures from china suggesting a different picture their exports rose in april for the 1st time this year up 3 and a half percent after many factories reopened. Well lets go now to our White House Correspondent kimberly how could 1st lets talk about those unemployment figures just put them into context for us committee. That will were waiting to see what the u. S. President might also have to say about that he set to meet this hour with the governor of texas these are meetings that hes been holding with various governors of various states in recent weeks as he pushes to reopen the u. S. Economy what seems to be the solution from this white house for these very depressed economic numbers now the latest as you stated there the rise in unemployment claims in the 10s of millions and what were expecting is this is going to continue to rise for some time because we know that there has been a backlog because of the enormous numbers of americans filing that is just taken a while for all of these unemployment offices around the country to process all of these claims but what were seeing in all of this is not only the astonishing number but the fact that we expect that these numbers are not going to come back as quickly as they disappeared if your average just weeks ago we had a 3. 5 percent Unemployment Rate that was a 50 year low now were seeing these record highs in terms of the numbers lost so again watching very carefully at this hour to see what the u. S. President may have to say about all of this really is a mind play also to talk about this news that someone close to him has tested positive for corona virus. Theres no question that the u. S. President may be asked this by reporters whether or not hell answer its hard to say but what is notable is that weve learned that the pool of reporters that is about to go into the oval office is having their temperature taken in advance of that i can tell you that the testing of the reporters going in and being close contact with the president has been spotty at best and so it does appear that there is now this new layer of prevention that is being taken is taking place i can tell you before i come into the white house i have to have my temperature taken but im not always in the same room as the president now it appears that there is this extra additional step that is being taken what is important to note of all of this is that the reason some of this may be happening is because we are now learning that a very close aide to the president in terms of one of his valet this is a military unit that specially selected works very closely with the 1st family tested positive on wednesday for corona virus now we know that the u. S. President for his part as well as the Vice President were also tested they remain negative but certainly this does seem to be concerning to this white house that they are putting in some additional protocols but this is just an example of as this president pushes to reopen the u. S. Economy the solution for these low end there are very high unemployment numbers and the enormous loss of jobs that were experiencing that these are the risks that ordinary americans are going to have to face now the president facing them to thank you for that to that is our White House Correspondent kelly hellcats as we were saying earlier a bleak picture in europe economics but i leaders want to develop ments from london. Its neutral or sleep difficult at this stage to actually say how deep recessions will because were not experienced anything like it in the modern era in that the bank of england had to reach back 300 years to say the u. K. Economy will slump through the worst recession since 1709 and that was when we had the great frost the economy here is expected to contract 14 percent in 2020 in the 2nd quarter alone the economy could shrink by 25 percent these are precedented numbers and unemployment is expected to rise to 9 percent and the situation on the continent continues to be even worse not find out the numbers next week come friday when june new releases its economic numbers that its expected to say that in the 1st quarter its economy contracted 2 percent but for the whole year economists as expecting a contraction up 11 percent and governments and Central Banks are doing exactly what this should be doing theyre pouring billions of billions of dollars into the economy to make sure the from natural system is working to make corporates make sure that the corporate sector is working well theyre paying for workers to stay off work right so that this very moment in time so its really difficult to say exactly where economies are going but we do know that its heading lower right this very moment. Meanwhile as the World Economy suffers a universal appeal is on the way to fund a Global ResponseUnited Nations is asking for billions of dollars from originations to help the millions living in the worlds poorest countries the world body has increased its appeal launched for the coronavirus funding in march from 2 1000000000 dollars to now almost 7000000000. 00 calling for extraordinary measures to fight. 6 of the crisis in 63. 00 nations and so far the un agencies have only received 923000000. 00 from donnas while wealthier nations are spending billions to boost their own economies aid agencies say they are scraping the barrel for Additional Resources to help the vulnerable the virus is spread to almost every corner of the globe with 187. 00 countries affected and this is the picture from Johns Hopkins university they caught a virus track and you can see global deaths there have supposed 264000 while the total number of confirmed cases is approaching 4000000 lets go now to our diplomatic editor james bass who is standing by for us at the United Nations james so the u.

N. Headquarters of course in new york in the u. S. Normally one of the richest countries in the world but all the focus is on the economic problems within the u. S. And its worth perhaps reminding you the initial version of this appeal was for 2000000000. 00 and i want more than 3 times that amount and for that 2000000000. 00 then in the in the 1st couple of months of trying to raise that they only got half that money thank you that that is diplomatic editor james phase live from the United Nations.
