Syria and its russian being accused of carrying out on lawful attacks on opposition held areas in northwestern syria Amnesty Internationals latest report says some of the ground and air offensives between december and march amount to war crimes amnesty documented 18 attacks on medical facilities and schools in the northwest and hama and western aleppo and highlights witness testimonies of russian airstrikes in january that killed 11 civilians in residential buildings close to a hospital Amnesty International also accuses Syrian Government forces of breaking International Law the following month when cluster bombs hit a school in a killing 6 people including children and nearly a 1000000 people were displaced by the syrian russian offensive between december and march creating the worst humanitarian crisis since the war started. Crisis advisor at Amnesty International and coauthor of the report she says amnesty collected witness testimonies and russian and syrian fight recordings and they concluded that some of the attacks in civilian areas were unlawful. Both syrian and russian Government Forces committed serious violations of International Law that amount to were crimes and in addition to that this fits into the wider pattern committed by Syrian Government forces the widespread and systematic pattern of targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure in opposition held areas and therefore they also amount to crimes against humanity indeed close to 1000000. 00 people were forced to leave their homes between december and march 2020 and they joined an already exploding population of displaced people close to the border in turkey both in governorates and parts of aleppo governor these people are essentially trapped theres nowhere left for them to go they cant exactly cross into the border and claim asylum in turkey even after the cease fire many of them are afraid to go back to their home towns either because they have been taken by the government or are at risk of being retaken by the government and of course we and others have documented the pattern of Syrian Government forces have arbitrarily arresting people disappearing them and torturing them for any association with opposition held areas and there is a huge pressure of course on the humanitarian response that has been only that has only gotten worse due of course to concerns about covert 1000. The Coronavirus Crisis now in the u. K. Prime minister has laid out the 1st steps easing lockdown measures or is johnson announce a new virus alert system and says people will be allowed to spend more Time Outdoors but with the highest death toll in europe johnsons latest plan for the u. K. Is already attracting criticism all brennan has more from london. The site of people basking in sunny parks and strolling along the river thames this weekend offered just a snapshot of the wider reality that 7 weeks after they were introduced the u. K. Stay at home restrictions have stopped being strictly observed or strictly enforced now there is a new Public Health slogan stay at home ditched in favor of the new mantra stay alert theres also a 5 level alert system that will govern how quickly the lockdown can be eased the Prime Ministers priority is to find ways of getting people back to work the 1st step is a change of emphasis that we hope that people will act on this week we said that you should work from home if you can only go to work if you must we now need to stress that anyone who cant work from home for instance those in construction or manufacturing should be actively encouraged to go to work many elements of the Prime Ministers National Address had been widely previewed in recent days for example from weapons day the idea that people will be no longer restricted to just one hour of outdoor exercise per day and in fact people will be allowed to lounge in parks if they want to so long as they observe social distancing but any further freedoms will depend highly on the critical our number keeping the rates of infection below one throughout this period of the next 2 months we will be driven not by mere hope economic necessity. Will be driven by the science the data and Public Health the stay alert message has attracted criticism for being too ambiguous and open to interpretation but the police will find it unenforceable and the public might find it confusing it doesnt really mean anything theres no instruction in the same way as the last message. And i think you saw in the Prime Ministers speech just now how the government has had to come back from some of the things they were thinking of doing earlier in the week because theyre just im sure about how to get this right im like weve already seen today in United Kingdom there is going to be a lot of uncertainty and theres a lack of clarity about what you tease the government what people to do they should really have just found different wording to try and navigate these next 2 or 3 weeks to make things even more confusing since coronavirus restrictions are id volved matter with scotland wales and Northern Ireland setting their own policies those 3 nations are firmly rejected the Prime Ministers new slogan quality of message is paramount if we expect all of you to know exactly what it is we are asking of you and as leaders we have a duty to deliver that clarity to those we had accountable to not to confuse it to that end i have asked the u. K. Government not to deploy their stay a layer at Advertising Campaign in scotland because the message in scotland at this stage is nort stay at home if you can the messages except for the essential reasons you nor boat stay at home through store from the outset it was realised that lifting the muck down was always going to be far more difficult than imposing it in the 1st place the Prime Ministers heavily conditional sketch of a road map makes it abundantly clear just how complex its going to be paul brennan aljazeera westminster. China is continuing to take steps or reopen its economy even as it were for psoriasis a new coronavirus cases Chinese Health authorities announced 17 new infections the highest since late april that says the Disneyland Park in shanghai reopened its doors after being closed for more than 3 months that speech our correspondent in beijing to train a use of katrina lets talk about the numbers for us a slight increase in in the number of new cases where these new cases popping up and how concerned are chinese authorities about this. Thats right a slight increase its quite significant fully because weve had single digit numbers in terms of new current coronavirus cases the last few days and today this morning in beijing weve heard the most recent number last 24 hours is 17 cases and thats the most significant rise since april 28th now of the 17 cases 7 are important and 10 a local transmission and those are dotted around the country but 5 of them taken place in the epicenter of this outbreak and one hasnt seen that kind of jump since march actually so that is definitely concerning you know in addition to these 17 new cases weve had 12 asymptomatic cases because the government counts those separately here in china so thats bringing the total to 82918. 00 cases according to official figures and the death toll remains at 4633. 00 so definitely a sign that the numbers arent just going down was there is still a threat of the virus is very much real and china is not quite out of the woods yet despite this threat one of the biggest attractions in the country is opening its doors again katrina how do people feel about this. Thats right so shanghais disneyland opened its doors one hour ago after being close for weeks because of the corner Virus Outbreak and definitely people here in china are still very wary of the virus but there seems to be an appetite for going to show going to disneyland because these tickets were put on sale friday 8 am local time and they sold out within 3 minutes now its not exactly business as usual about 80000. 00 people usually can fit into the park in shanghai but the government has kept that at 30 percent so only 24000. 00 people can go to the park at the mormons and today because its the 1st day theyre sort of slowly ramping up to the 24000 people there are some of the other precautions put into place while most rides are. Most parades and performances will be counselled for now but people going back can still enjoy i guess the feel of the thing about being out with their family albeit they have to wear masks and sense and distance from each other when theyre lining up for these rides now for china this is not just disneyland opening its doors this is a tremendous symbol for the Chinese Government that theyve been able to gain and up the hand or of the corner virus and according to state media reports today chinas really trying to use this is a symbol of confidence not only to its own people but to the world as an example almost of how a country is able to sort of regain the upper hand but also bring things back to normal in terms of the economy and the country at the same time is definitely trying to downplay any negative and significantly negative impacts of this virus on the chinese economy katrina thank you for katrina you live for say.

This building site in washington d. C. There are no temperature checks.

Mexicos government says its at the peak of the pandemic its reported more than 3001000 deaths but those on the front line say the actual numbers much higher John Heilemann reports from mexico city. For 2 weeks this mexican criminal tore in has been going day and night exhausted workers told us that almost all of those here a covert victims. Of them that we are working to triple what we usually do we just cant keep up before we committed it when one and 3 bodies a day now its up to 15 or 20. The countrys official quoted there is it just over 3000 thats in a country of almost 130000000 people at the peak of its epidemic there are fears in reality it could be higher. Of a criminal for him to report there also max capacity like this one in its to palapa on the outskirts of mexico city that i have assisted enough imo sometimes our ovens are so saturated we have to cremate the following day we leave the bodies at the hospital because we have no room for them if given a list of the countries coronavirus saw sit in a prove that the real number of cases likely to be at least 8 times higher than the official figure. Many other countries also admit that they take out but it could be bigger here because the testing rate is so low and that goes for faith 2 personas by a single be patients come articulating face 3 in a serious condition which doesnt give us the chance to do the test it could be done after death at that rarely happens so we have people that die and have the seen times of co bit of arent registered as such. But some local governments say that on top of those problems the death tolls they purported havent been reflected in the federal count. Before you see those they counted us as having 24 dead but we had 87 more than 3 times more than that as the mere there and given up until last night we had 54 people who died of coal but 19 according to their medical certificates and in the daily roundups from the state and federal government theyve only registered 60 in that. I mean while the fatalities continue at this local cemetery they told us theyve been taken up to 4 times normal amount of bodies amid the worries for some of the transparency there is also cause for optimism the capitals Health System or those suffering from a lack of equipment and at times coordination is still not overwhelmed even though the government says that the epidemic in the country has reached its peak. The governments hoping that it can get through the peak period without a huge jump in the death toll whatever that really is john homan out does it or she might work on. Now the world news felice in hong kong have broken up protests in several Major Shopping Centers are going is seeing a revival of antigovernment demonstrations despite social distancing controls pollen reports. Its the 1st weekend since hong kong strict social distancing rules where it leaves many shops and restaurants open to expecting celebrations for mothers day instead there were scenes like this in several shopping malls across the city. Protesters would appear in different parts of the mall then disperse a since there was word that police were on their way to visit some of them but this day is a tradition in the name so i find it really annoying and and i have no idea why the police are so i guess theyre. Protesters gathered spontaneously to chant slogans and sing and in line with the days theme calling for independence for hong kong the chance for independence are likely to provoke beijing and the Hong Kong Government from the protesters say had taken advantage of the corona Virus Outbreak to crack down on the citys democracy movement. Which in the midst of the coronavirus the government has imposed restrictions on gathering and turn it into a crackdown on freedom of assembly not only for the human rights of citizens but also for religious activities i think this is a gross violation of human rights. Hong kong has not had any new local infection of covert 19 for nearly 3 weeks on friday its government eased social distancing was trick since increasing the number of people allowed to gather from 4 to 800. We have to spread in groups and flow as it moves the police go broke as we can only go guerrilla star anyone flouting the rules could be immediately find 250. 00 a large sum for many of the young protesters this is one of hong kongs main tourist and commercial areas its hard to tell who is a protester all rather they are simply here to shop the boss police could identify protesters because they wore mosques to remain anonymous but now almost everyone in the city is wearing a Face Covering as advised by the government to help stop the spread of coronavirus. Most of the crowds on sunday were part off or supported the prodemocracy protests last year which would often lead to violent confrontations between police and demonstrators the coronavirus pandemic has subdued many activities including the antigovernment protests but it seems to have done little to diminish the anger of the protesters who see the government as taking advantage of the situation to further erode hong kongs freedoms and many here are calling this the start of protest season the bigger pollin are jazeera hong kong. And in iraq antigovernment protests have resumed after weeks of lockdown demonstrators voice their opposition to a newly appointed Prime Minister mustafa adamy and his government that says carney made good on his brakes to free people detained during previous demonstrations simona 14 may for some baghdad. Protesters are back atop the barricades but thats republican bridge demanding the downfall of a government that has only been in power for 3 days. The me was confirmed as Prime Minister last thursday nearly 6 months after antigovernment demonstrations forced his predecessor. To step down but people here see me not as a chance to start over but is the continuation of a system that has spilled them. In the beginning every Prime Minister makes concessions but we dont know what the end result will be were not protesting against one person we are protesting against all parties all the parties inside parliament are still the same so nothing will change since march to her square has been largely deserted after the government imposed a nationwide lockdown to contain the spread of coronavirus the curfew has since been parked lifted this is the largest demonstration here in years where in 2 months and even though the numbers are lower compared to last over protesters today have managed to send a clear message that simply replacing the head of state is not enough to make the movement go away on saturday the new Prime Minister announced a series of measures aimed at addressing the protesters grievances he formed a committee to bring those responsible for the killing of more than 600. 00 protesters to account and ordered the release of those still in the tension because i think. Well judge is a mere we also ordered the release of all detainees who participate in them straight we asked the hard judiciary counsel to cooperate in releasing those who have been sentenced for simple crimes except those who are involved in setting iraqi blood. The Prime Minister also reinstated popular general abdel wahab by saadi at the helm of iraqs Counterterrorism Service saudis decommissioning last year was blamed on the cronyism and the hmong the factors that sparked protests but there is no quick fix for years of mismanagement no easy way to restore the trust of many who say they have given up on the entire political establishment. And i mean are there any real tired of hearing those promises its like they gave us a general anesthesia for these protesters on the same this time were staying how long have they been in power 16 use they didnt do anything for us we will stay here until we have achieved our demands those demands include jobs Better Services and an end to corruption even if the best of intentions they will take years to fulfill and few here believe that iraqs new Prime Minister can serve the people more than the political interests which brought him to power simona fulton aljazeera. 3 un peacekeepers have been killed in a roadside bomb attack in northern mali the explosion went off in the region of i guess leaving at least 4 others severely injured officials are investigating who was behind the attack in the United States georges attorney general is calling for a federal investigation into the handling of the killing of.
