To ease restrictions after a coronavirus lockdown there. And then other news from hong kong the Police Complaints was dont want to the terrorists being dragged into an era of terrorism. The u. S. House of representatives right now debating a 3 trillion dollar aid package to tackle before lout from the global coronavirus pandemic it is a huge figure to take on an Enormous Economic challenge these pictures coming to us live from washington more than 36000000 people are out your work and they are claiming benefits that figure expected to climb towards 45000000 over the coming weeks sales are down by a record 16. 4 percent for the month of april will stay with these live pictures will also talk to our White House Correspondent kimberly healthcare so bad data the dow jones opening done kimberly must be focusing minds there on the floor of the house. Just like. Yeah watching very carefully what is debated in this legislation its pretty certain that this is going to pass the house of representatives controlled by democrats this is a democrat drawn up still it didnt go through a lot of the committees that legislation normally goes through and thats whats making this part of the problem in terms of this legislation is that even if it passes the house of representatives its current form its unlikely to pass the house u. S. Senate that is controlled by republicans and the president says hes not signing in fact he called it dead on arrival earlier this week now the problem with this legislation isnt just that it has some kinks in it that havent been worked out but republicans also seem to ignore kind of the premise or rather disagree with the premise of this legislation essentially what theyre accusing democrats of is just giving people more money to stay home their argument is we cant pay for people to stay home and definitely what we need to do is reopen the economy and thats what we should be focusing on so theres not a lot of hope for this legislation also because of its very high price tag the concern being that the amount of debt this country is getting into is now hitting wartime levels or is approaching that as so the feeling is that this country simply cant afford to keep paying this price tag president heading to camp david this weekend i mean is he licking his wounds because theres been a lot of negative pushback particularly over those comments running on social media what in the past 18 hours or so with mr trump seem to suggest stop testing before you dont know about the disease therefore maybe the disease goes away. Yeah i think the wording he said was Something Like overrated which really shocked a lot of people because as youre making the argument for reopening your economy one of the key components of it from his own Coronavirus Task force was testing that that is an essential piece of the puzzle youre trying to assemble for moving this country out of the problem in the stalemate its in right now so what the president is trying to do really is pivot from some of those negative headlines particularly also some of the criticisms of his handling of the current a virus Pandemic Response thus far what we expect from him moving forward today in advance of his trip to camp david will be an event in the rose garden that will be on Vaccine Development this is another key component for trying to reopen the economy but again the prospect had a bleak there because the outlook is that even if things are accelerated on Vaccine Development things are going well it could be at least 18 months to 2 years another say there may never be a vaccine to get the sense where you are there the white house can believe that maybe mr trumps advice is going to have to rethink the way that he is clearly pushing for the 3rd quarter it will come good financially in the 3rd quarter if youve got the doug jones opening day of today if youve got heading for 45000000. 00 people unemployed if you got 3 trillion dollars of a stimulus package from a fiscal point of view you simply nobody could turn that around by the 3rd quarter come be done. You know and i think what youve really nailed down on our drill down thats important in all of this is that when the president talks about things being rosy in the 3rd quarter of the 4th quarter and also he talks about next year that comes after the u. S. Election what hes really saying in all of this in an Election Year for a jobs frezza the saw all of his jobs wiped out that had this historically strong u. S. Economy gone this was what was going to hinge him on reelection and he was banking on it all of thats wiped out what is now saying is if you want to go back to come back to elect me reelect me thats whats really hit it in that message well people say you know theres some reason for optimism look at these numbers what theyre really saying and all of that is if you want that to come back i need to be president for 4 more years kimberly will talk to you later im sure in the meantime thanks very much. Across the atlantic to the u. K. Bush government giving a 2nd company the green light to produce a coronavirus Antibody Test that follows approval for a test produced in switzerland which scientists claim is 100 percent accurate the test shows whether theres ever been covert 1000. 00 infection but its not yet clear whether the antibodies provide permanent immunity a spokesman for the Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the tests are quote a potential game changer as a way to ease restrictions in england only some workers have been allowed to go back and people can also spend more time of sight 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 in the world with more than 33000 reported thats just one home has more from london. 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 the steps just yet but here as of the beginning of this week if you worked in a 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 low 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.

U. Countries and indeed 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 it will happen and indeed what places you wont be able to travel from to germany without going into currency where theyre not quite. Yet the independent Police Complaints council in hong kong in other news calling for a review of guidelines on these to tear gas during protests the watchdog is investigating allegations of Police Brutality during antigovernment demonstrations last year it says further training for officers dealing with protesters needs to be studied and the council was born in the territory it risks getting dragged into what is calling an era of terrorism.

Unfortunately the report released today will just be a key factor or trick up topic this content to the government and the police force because when more than 8000 people were arrested the especially even 1st aider journalist religious leader the target that during the protest High School Student being fired fired by life wrong none of the producers were mentioned or profiled by the report but always claimed that is the fault of the pop right and proper all painted by its so was proof that there is a report from the police just dont wish its not really a ballot no as the one being arrested for 8 climbs and being jailed for 3 times since last summer the pope has experienced a crackdown on protests by unconquerable canister or gas and rubber bullets and even some of their citizen or than they receive this and they just hang out with their friends and family including me to some of the Shopping Mall we need to place their response.

China has gone for months without announcing any new deaths from the coronavirus and it reported just 4 new cases as of friday was also significant to boost in production as the economy shows signs of picking up katrina you has more from beijing. 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 a 19 standstill so Industrial Production has rebounded that is up 3. 9 percent year on year and up from a 1 point one percent for in march so those numbers a looking good retail sales unfortunately are down they fell by 7. 5 percent which is even worse than what some analysts forecast and 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 people are buying property here its 10. 3 percent lower and urban unemployment rose 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.

K. She says care homes were particularly vulnerable to the outbreak and more needs to be done to keep people safe. I think the picture that weve seen in care homes is that are they a crisis of really unfolded as the infection 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 who 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 its we need to be in in terms of making sure that best testing rolled out to carry residents and to start working in that sector access for staff to essential protective equipment all of these things have contributed i think to the really shocking numbers that were seeing today well the good news is that the infection rate on the fatality rate is starting to come down in care homes so it doesnt look like repulse 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 issues and we have there has been a lot of progress but there are still continued issues tell us about accessing testing accessing testing quickly enough in fact and getting the results back quickly enough and also theres still those really important ongoing issues about access to protective equipment where many are still struggling without access to the supplies that they need ok lets wrap up some other top stories for you dozens of Palestinians Holding friday prayers were injured after Israeli Forces fired tear gas it happened in so well village in the occupied west bank the crowd were praying in an area threatened by an explosion illegal israeli settlements have already been built and much of the area around the village.
