People wont be quarantined unless theyre coming from countries with high numbers of infections meanwhile parts of asia are taking big strides in resuming normal life thailand reopening Shopping Centers to the general public White House Correspondent kimberly joins us live now kimberly hi there good afternoon good morning your time so is everyone on board when it comes to the stimulus package is it a done deal. Its a big problem actually and theres one reason why that is because any legislation requires the president s signature to become law and this us president called this legislation earlier in the week dead on arrival now the package as it stands right now has a couple of problems number one its never been through any of the lower level committees before it got to the house floor thats usually where a lot of these problems are ironed out the other issue is that there are some democrats that are even concerned about the high price tag or the fact that it doesnt go far enough in terms of what is needed to help many of those suffering in some of those states particularly in some of the rural states as well so this is going to be something that we know a venture late is going to after much debate passed the house of representatives thats controlled by democrats but where we see this really becoming a problem is in the u. S. Senate which is controlled by republicans the president s party in fact some are calling this toxic legislation saying that this is simply sort of a very broad piece of legislation with a lot of peripheral issues that republicans simply cant afford cant sorry cant support and they also believe that many of these things that are contained inside will become kind of the fodder of attack ads in the fall for republicans trying to re win their seats against democrats who may be sitting on the fence about some aspects of this legislation in short is pretty problematic in its current form are the republicans prepared to be seen as the policy that stops propping up the countrys economy stops propping up those jobs that people have lost or that just about to lose because as you were telling us yesterday can believe going to get more bad numbers we suspect next week and the week off to or is it that they have to find to know what theyre going to push into the economy. Option. Dont republicans are willing to do that already and some of them are salivating at the fact that they believe because this legislation in its current form is so broadly worded that they can find these little nuggets that they can use to embarrass the democrats in other words that theyre looking for legislation for expanding the use of marijuana for example in a package that is supposed to be all about coronavirus and saving jobs because we saw the very large package last time deep in some of that there were these little nuggets that werent particularly flattering to democrats or republicans feel this is worth the risk but at the same time youre absolutely right peter there are some some problematic numbers out there for republicans to the latest coming down in just the last hour the retail sales in april plummeting another 16 percent this is just adding to more and more of these sort of records in the last few months that have been taken literally bad for this u. S. President who is trying to pivot to reopening the u. S. Economy in fact thats what hes going to be doing today hes going to have an event in the rose garden is going to talk about Vaccine Research one of those things that many people say is key to getting this economy back on track but the problem in all of this is the projection for any vaccine is still a very long way off kimberly thanks very much ok from the United States to the European Union specifically turning our attention to germany where the government is looking at ways to ease restrictions on travel among shing and zone countries live now to berlin and a correspondent covering that aspect of the story Dominick Dunne good afternoon so walk us through how germany is looking to ease the stays here. Well the 1st thing from the interior Ministry Point of view is they want to loosen border restrictions as far as possible as quickly as possible but as safely as possible and its the safety angle which is being the prime angle as far as theyre concerned on wednesday of this week the interior minister himself horst c. E. O. Of a very conservative key ally of angular machall these days say it was talking about which border restrictions could be eased 1st where they could be and that sort of thing and one of his comments alluded to this suggestion that as you were saying in the introduction that the schengen zone would allow that being in the shining zone would mean that quarantine 2 weeks of quarantine that every traveler from a country coming to germany has had to sign a form on arrival at an airport saying they would go to a nomination dressed stay that in that place for 2 weeks not go arent aware of the fact that if they did then they would be subject to some form of of Disciplinary Procedure is it well vashtis what it appears is being waived so that ministry is appearing to say that within the course of the next few days theyre going to abandon that requirement quarantine that instead people coming from e. U. Countries and in deep people can from the United Kingdom will be able to travel to germany and not have to undergo that quarantine the details of exactly when it will be will happen and indeed what places you werent be able to travel from to germany without going into quarantine where theyre not quite. Yet but certainly the aspiration of the interior ministry is for this to take place in days not weeks. And the German Economy contract seen by 2. 2 percent in the 1st quarter of the year thats its steepest 3 month dip since way back during the financial crisis 20082009. Yeah this is interesting that earlier in the program we were hearing about the 2 tracks as it were the vastness of cash and the easing of restrictions the easing of restrictions. Also weve already have the fast amounts of money pumped into the economy by the German Government by the e. U. 2 and that the double whammy has come this week you have that shrinking of 2. 2 g. D. P. But also you had the chance of this week shots from the social democrats saying that the expected tax take the revenue that the government generates through taxation is going to be more than 92000000000 euros thats 900000000000 dollars fewer than the government had expected trying to add cash into an economy when theyre not going to be making as much as they thought and show you see quite how steep things are and remember. In this the 2nd quarter the projection has been that the economy would shrink by up to 10 percent and they expect that is the government expects the economy over the course of the calendar year to shrink by 6 percent more than 6 percent in the which just shows how stark this pandemic is being for germany and what measures they think they have to take to fix it dominick thanks very much. Britains government has given a Certain Company the green light to produce a coronavirus Antibody Test now that follows approval for a test produced in switzerland which Scientists Say is 100 percent accurate the test shows whether theres ever been cope with 19 infection but its not yet clear whether the antibodies provide permanent immunity a spokesman for the u. K. Prime minister Boris Johnson said the tests are quote a potential game changer as a way to ease restrictions. Well thats begun this week in england not in wales or scotland with certain workers going back to work people can also spend more Time Outdoors but there are concerns that moving too fast could spark a 2nd wave of infections the u. K. Is one of the hardest hit countries anywhere in the world with more than 33000 has more from london on how thats working in practice. The concern is now quite widespread that this is happening far too soon to talk too fast albeit these are only the very slightest teasings of the lock down and only here in england the devolved administrations in Northern Ireland scotland and wales have continued to be cautious theyre not taking any steps just yet but here as of the beginning of this week if you worked and if you werent able to do your job from home but you do work or are able to work in a socially distanced coded friendly environment you were encouraged to go back to work that affected mainly sort of construction and manufacturing environments disproportionately perhaps affecting lower skilled lower paid lower skilled workers there are also greater freedoms of movements in the countries parks and recreation spaces the governments messaging has changed from stay home to stay alert on the central piece of guidance big offer does exercise common sense as you go about your business in terms of maintaining social distancing its all provoked no shortage of criticism and confusion about just what this new policy actually means are people supposed to in general continue to stay at home and observe the lock down and continue to inhibit the pathways to infection in the spread of the virus or can they more or less freely now go about outsiders long as they exercise common sense and anecdotally i can tell you here in london theres a lot of evidence of small shops independent cafes coffee shops small restaurants opening up for takeaways you know clearly testing the waters of the limits of this guidance and. Well while the pandemic has left many employees on or working from home koreas being busier than ever but some companies in the u. K. Are being condemned for failing to provide equipment necessary to ensure their safety sonia gago reports from london. Its a very busy time for self employed cleary a pull he use hes delivering twice as many packages them both full of the u. K. Went into lockdown as well as the increased workload keeping safe is also a priority and that would usually involve using personal protective equipment or p. P. He also said for a its quite difficult because 1st of all you have to go get over you know why you interact with people and it feels rude at 1st but fortunately i think the government a phone or a bit there and they the bowl with oh with all this woman getting paid premium place as key with because providing an essential service cleary is all supposed to be guaranteed a measure of safety by the companies they work full but because they are technically self employed they are not guaranteed sick pay and many feel obliged to work even if they are on well and that poses a health risk to their families and the people they interact with. Why the has been pressuring the government to provide Health Care Workers and people some of the Companies Frank gehry is are accused of overlooking the safety its a very poor response as far as im concerned recently theyve started to have this sort of. I want to say leaky conversation with us but at this point the far as im concerned its too little too late at this Company Behind me complained that at the start of the lockdown at one distribution point they were being forced to go out without any protective equipment a company has since thought of providing mosques gloves and hand sanitizers but the question remains as to how they could be forced to do that when they were facing an increased workload as well as risk of infection the company has said that it had been quote guided by the latest government advice and remained responsive to the latest updates. As the u. K. Loosens its lockdown the unions representing workers say that members will still need those protections in place we still dont have a clear. A rules or regulations in place for the face coverings against other countries are this clearly is a matter of concern and concern thats led to many saying protections must be guaranteed for those providing a Crucial Service junes pandemic sunni triangle edges era london close more still to come for you here on the news hour including.

So the Chinese Government here is at pains to emphasize that the momentum is looking good that there is a steady recovery and that these figures are better than expected but of course the devil is in the detail and what we are seeing we look deeper into these figures that is that the chinese economy is still struggling to recover from the core of 19 standstill so Industrial Production has rebounded that is up 3. 9 percent year on year and up from a 1 point one percent fall in march so those numbers a looking good retail sales importantly are down they fell by 7. 5 percent which is even worse than what some analysts forecast that they forecast at a 6 percent fall and thats key because the chinese economy is very much powered by domestic consumption fixed Asset Investment was also down and people are buying property here its 10. 3 percent lower and urban unemployment wars slightly thats at 6 percent and thats up 0 point one percent from march now that figure in particular is want to Pay Attention to unemployment is a big issue here in china because the government sees it as key to social stability but at the same time its very difficult to get accurate data on unemployment figures here analysts say urban unemployment could be spiking and we could see about 22000000 people lose their jobs and thats just in cities of course china has a huge Migrant Worker population and some estimates are saying that there could be as many as 80 to 100000000 people losing their jobs across china and that would spell a lot of trouble restrictions have been eased in australias most populous state after 2 months locked public gatherings of up to 10 people an hour allowed in New South Wales and restaurants and cafes have been reopening the authorities have urged people to maintain social distancing the state record of new cases in the past day that brings the total to just over 3000.

Joshua warren is a Student Activist whos been a key player in the prodemocracy movement the report will make the relationship between the authorities and the protest Movement Even worse. Unfortunately the report released today will just be a key factor trick of public scorn pentagon for men and the police force because when one an 8000 people arrest that especially even 1st aider journalist religious leader the target during the protests was the dumping 55. 00 on life wrong none of that produces so mention of provided by the report but always claimed that is the fault of the public and public pain the bias so was proof that this.

In this for me that lee is just trying to hole and while people anger how come some of the older than the redress of the different restaurants or area will be arrest that what the charges will get imagine that 84 years in the east would join into any kind of riots which is really insane and also proof that how this report is meaningless.

On how to sarah. Welcome back youre watching the news are coming to you live from our headquarters here in your top stories the u. S. House of representatives is right now debating a new 3 trillion dollars stimulus package to help revive the economy mr trump the president calling the package is dead in the water however and he is expected to reject it. In Europe Germany preparing to relax entry rules for travelers from the e. U. The schengen travels alone and the u. K. Will only be told to go into quarantine if coming from a country with high numbers of the infection it comes as some other e. U. Countries loosen border restrictions. In the u. K. England has been easing restrictions for a week now with certain workers back on the job people are also being given more freedom to go outside but there are concerns that moving too fast could spark a 2nd wave of the infection. While the u. K. Government facing condemnation over the number of coronavirus deaths inside care homes new figures show more than 12000 residents died from the outbreak in england and wales alone the government is being accused of not doing enough to keep people safe key workers are also at risk with statistics showing more than one and a half 1000000 have Health Conditions that make them more vulnerable to the virus around 10000000 people work in essential sectors of the economy with more than a 3rd of those in the Health Industry lets bring in rufus down in london shes the head of health influencing at the British Charity and Advocacy Group age u. K. Ruth welcome to the news hour why is this happening in care homes. I think the picture that weve seen in care homes is that a crisis of really unfolded as the interaction rate has just risen much much more quickly than in the general population and weve seen every widespread number of outbreaks in cairns because of course that the absolute perfect environment we have a group of people here by definition that older they have underlying many underlying Health Conditions and they live in a communal setting where infections can spread very very quickly were not careful and unfortunately we havent been as quick as that moves we need to be in in terms of making sure that best testing rolled out to carry residents and to start. Access from start to essential protective equipment all of these things have contributed i think to that really shocking numbers that were seeing today is the British Government loan a situation of having to play catch up and it cant catch up with this. Well the good news is that the infection rate the fatality rate is starting to come down in care homes so it does look like were past the worst of it however having said that there are new outbreaks happening so clearly theres still a long way to go and we still are in the grip of this crisis so it is very important its hard to overstate how important it is to get on top of those continued actions and we have there has been a lot of progress but there are still continued issues tell us about accessing testing access in testing quickly enough in a fact and getting the results back quickly enough and also theres still the really important ongoing issues about access to protective equipment where many homes are still struggling without access to the supplies that they meet but for individual people this is clearly an absolutely appalling situation not just for those elderly people who have maybe got other Underlying Health issues say most because theyre in effect being put into solitary confinement or theyre not inside the care home system because thats the safest way to look after them their families are having to do bury a visit sorry the best they can get is something on face time or a hot sat phone call or look at mom or dad through a plate glass and the people who run the homes theyre pulling their hair out as well because theyve got infections amongst the people who are in the homes as residents and theyve got the infection among their staff. It is hard to overstate how much of a deeply challenging situation this is for the cat sector as you say the at one point during this crisis care homes reporting that they had around 25 percent of that stuff that normal stuff were either unwell or self isolating so they were being forced to rely on agency staff which of course carries risks as agency south are clearly going into a number of different locations potentially. Theres always these are extremely disruptive for the residents as well its very challenging for people looking after individuals living with dementia issued wont necessarily be able to understand why they cant warco Wander Around the cabin the way that they would normally do so it is deeply distressing we do hear from families who are very distressed about the fact that they cant visit their loved ones although post people do understand how just at the moment. The overwhelmingly important thing is to safeguard the health of residents on any risk of bringing a virus into the home has to be very carefully considered but nonetheless even if people understand that as you say it is deeply distressing especially when perhaps individuals are at the end of their life so it has been a very traumatic time for care homes and for care him staff and for the residents and family is ok is that just i just really briefly before we run out of time please. Tell me what you think about these reports and it may be anecdotal that somebody someplace took the decision high up in various n. H. S. Authorities in england to pressurize the care homes to take elderly people back to the care homes even though the relevant hospital knew but those individual people had tested positive for the corona virus and i must stress that may yet prove to be anecdotal. I didnt want to have things that were increasingly coming to understand is that people being discharged from hospitals into care home perhaps was the thing that seed of the virus into many cat homes across the country however whether or not that was done knowingly or and any way deliberately of the knowledge that those people might have the virus of course is something which we we dont really know anything about but i do think we do know that that lack of testing the private testing wasnt quick or the ground and also as well that understandably hospitals felt that they needed to make sure that they had capacity for incoming patients and the patients were discharged so theres a lot of things i think that we want to look out in future not because we necessarily want to portion blame for people doing the best thing that they thought they could do with the right thing to do in this situation but in order to make sure that we learn from them what happened and that we make sure that as we all go ahead and learn to live with this virus which we will have to do for the foreseeable future that we dont make the same mistakes again. In the u. K. Thank you very much good to talk to ruth thank you. Well the u. N. Envoy to yemen says a perfect storm of cholera malaria and the virus poses a grave risk to the population about 13 deaths linked to cope at 19 have been officially reported there 13 but the charity save the children says nearly 400 patients showing virus like symptoms have died in the past week as are diplomatic editor james bass thank you very much giving his Monthly Update to the Un Security Council special envoy Martin Griffiths seem frustrated his efforts to achieve a cease fire have not borne fruit and the situation in southern yemen has got much worse the president im deeply concerned about the situation of course in the south where a perfect storm is brewing. The people of arden in particular facing outbreaks of prove it 19 and other diseases believe drink chewed malaria cholera and those deaths rising daily but nobody knows exactly why because the Health System is so ill equipped to diagnose and treat people. Ever since the coalition began its campaign a bomb bomb and 5 years ago the u. N. Has been describing the humanitarian situation in the country was the worst on earth saudi arabia has led the coalition and the other main military participant has been the United Arab Emirates yet it is forces backed by those 2 countries who are now fighting each other in the south official statistics show there been 13 deaths in yemen from cope with 19 but there is virtually no testing being carried out in the country and the real situation might be much more concerning save the children who published the to sticks from doctors in the southern port city of aden suggesting in the last 7 days alone 385 patients have died with corona virus like symptoms james pays aljazeera at the United Nations while the world will certainly be a different place once the pandemic is over scientists in the netherlands say nows the time to plan for fundamental change the dutch government is expected to announce an initiative any time now focused on a green future for one of europes busiest airports in amsterdam schiphol 170. 00 netherlands based scholars released their manifesto last month calling for the world to move away from g. D. P. Focused growth and even what they call d.

Mostly local and vegetarian force a reduction in wasteful consumption and travel and lastly debt cancellation especially for workers and Business Owners in the developing world professor marja spirit and from the university of lightning is one of the people who signed the letter she says its time to get rid of current models that clearly are not working we understand the concern about jobs but we would like to reorganize transform the economy into a much more sustainable economy and that means that other sectors greener sectors will grow. But its also one of the reasons why we argue in favor of. The basic universe a universal basic income and also for for sharing jobs people who have jobs are often working under precarious conditions have to work incredible long hours whereas others are not finding jobs so its very much a call for distribution were not arguing against all air travel that is not the point of the of the manifesto we are scientists we depend on into International Exchanges and not all of those can be organized online but we do want to question the excessive travel that we witnessed over the past decades the growth in travel and and we also questioned the absurdity of the fact that when you travel within europe its often cheaper to fly than to take the train. And those are issues that we really need to rethink we need to promote more sustainable ways of traveling. And and reflect on when is travel necessary when when does it add and by what means of transport do we travel.
