Die after spending months adrift on a boat. Battling poverty and decades of repression we look at how one Indigenous Community in canada is no working to prevent the fire spreading. And on santa hamas has support around the world continues to take a big financial hit u. S. Soccer federation asked me no 4th deployment of the knows its Youth Development academy having a World Champion at womens team. The covered 1000. 00 pandemic has left no country touched and its having widespread ramifications not just in health but in politics and diplomacy to china which was the initial epicenter of the outbreak has once again strongly. Decides the u. S. President s decision to cut funding to the World Health Organization state media is calling it a move against humanity that affects every country by the International Monetary fund says the crisis will cause asias economy to stall at 0 percent for the 1st time in 16 years it says the outbreak has taken an unprecedented toll on the region trump donald trump donald trump says the number of new infections in the u. S. Is slowing the president is making the prediction despite his country marking a record 2300 deaths in 24 hours he says restrictions could be lifted in up to 30 states in 2 weeks but hes also struck another threatening note as mike hanna reports these daily news briefings up a potent lead to keep the nation informed about the battle against the coronavirus but invariably the president strays off message and today he used the forums to rail against what he described as congregational obstruction in the confirmation of government officials and threatened to Adjourn Congress and then push through his nominations during the recess the senate should either fulfill its duty and vote on my nominees or should formally adjourn so that i can make recess appointments we have a tremendous number of people that have to come into government and now more so than ever before because of the virus and the problem its a threat against congress that no president has made before perhaps its never done before its never been done before nobodys even sure if it has but were going to do it we need these people here we need people for this crisis and we dont want to play anymore political games. Many in congress would view this as an attack against a fundamental principle on which this countrys democracy is based a system of checks and balances that separates the powers of the executive the judiciary and the legislature its the latest in a series of actions that would appear to amount to an abuse of executive power and follows a suspension of funding to the World Health Organization that congress had already approved and the insistence that the president has the right to order states to follow the guidelines of the executive in deciding when to lift the mitigating measures President Trump says hell speak to governors before announcing new guidelines thursday making clear these involve the e. C. Off restrictions in a number of states pretty youre ready know will be opening up states some states much sooner than others and we think some of the states can actually open up before the deadline of may 1st and i think that will be a very exciting time indeed the president ended the briefing with these words big day tomorrow on the states evidence its not clear whether this is a promise or threat mike hanna aljazeera washington. Now donald trump has also doubled down on his attack on the World Health Organization he suggests it deliberately misled the world in the early stages of the outbreak tragically other nations put their trust in the w. H. O. And they didnt do any form of ben and you see what happened to italy you see what happened to spain you see what happened to france w h os guidance had failed to control their borders at a very crucial phase quickly unleashing the contagion around the world that was a horrible tragic mistake or perhaps they knew im sure they didnt know the gravity of it but perhaps they knew. Because if they knew the gravity that would be an even worse offense the head of the agency is calling for unity in the wake of trumps criticism when we divided the virus exploits the cracks between us we are committed to serving the world his people and to accountability for the resources with which we are interested in due course doubly chose performance in tackling this pandemic will be reviewed by w. Just Member States and the independent bodies that our employees to each will try to spot and see in accountability but for now our focus my focus is on stopping this virus and saving lives well lets be more reaction to trumps criticism for the w. H. O. Lets go to katrina you in beijing katrina what have we been hearing from beijing. Well china and the u. S. Have been engaging in a bit of war of words regarding the current virus pandemic and beijing really sees that washington in their opinion is trying to simply say the blame when it comes to the criticism of the World Health Organization thats been very much echoed in state media reports today a lot of headlines for example here weve got an editorial from the global times which is a state new news paper very much attacking trump in its decision to withdraw funding from dummy hato saying that it is a move against humanity and it sets a horrible precedent at a time when the world really should be rallying behind the agency it also says that trump really is using this is so some sort of political ammunition to try to bolster his chances of reelection as well and converse lee state media painting china as the opposite kind of being very active in taking a kind of leadership role in this global fight against the pandemic reminding the public that china donated 20000000. 00 to the agency in march and has since then sent plane loads of medical supplies testing kits and other funds to more than 80 countries since then. Theres been a lot of speculation as we all know about chinas transparency joining this process given the fact that you were there are you getting a sense of how people in china reacting to those allegations that there should have been more transparency in the walls and. Definitely i think people here genuinely believe that there is a downward trend in sections just evidenced by the governments or been opening up of china people are going back to work the economy is Getting Started again but as to whether these numbers that we have these official figures are accurate there are a lot of questions china maintains out there of only being about 82000 cases of carbon 1000 across the country and thats not just less in terms of numbers when you compare it to the u. S. And many European Countries and that has raised eyebrows and in addition to that the Associated Press has come out saying that Chinas National Health Commission actually warned chinas leaders about the severity of this outbreak as early as january 14th saying that this could really develop into i quote a major public event and its the more severe challenge they face since saas in 2003 but it was only 6 days later that the communist party announced to china and to the world that there was this outbreak in this that it was very serious or questions are being asked as to why the government was not so forthcoming with that information and on top of that we know at a more local level. In was a province the regional at the center of the outbreak doctors who tried to sound the alarm about this outbreak this early at the end of december or indeed fall and all punished for doing so and because of this kind of patchy track record there are a lot of questions now as to whether the Chinese Government ought continuing to really be transparent when it comes to the scale of the outbreak here in china a consumer you like for us in beijing thank you very much indeed well also joining us from beijing is im not saying that hes an advisor to the Chinese Government on Economic Development issues and hes joining us now to thank you very much indeed for your time as always but me ask you 1st do you think that china regards this as solely an issue between the u. S. And china with regard to the w. H. O. Or is it about why you there are issues. Well you think it is about wider issues obviously china feels very strongly that trump is trying to shift lighting and claim that theres some sort conspiracy going on between the w. H. O. And china its just not clear why the w. H. O. Would be in league with china. Unfortunately we appear to have lost our connection to him in beijing obviously we will try and get him back later in the program but in the meantime lets move on so the pandemic is going to cause asias Economic Growth to stall at 0 percent for the 1st time in 60 years thats the latest dire prediction from the International Monetary fund the outbreak has taken the unprecedented toll on the region its expected to rebound next year by the outlook remains uncertain with some someone is a regional economics economist and c. E. O. Of c i m b Private Banking hes joining us now from singapore thanks very much indeed for being with us give us an indication if you can how this is likely to affect the daily lives of people in asia. Recently i mean ive started work some point decades ago and this is my boss with recession. One have read that kate and this time the shop is just a very unique in terms of both supply shop things being stopped because of credit restriction and down and down the contraction on demand side spilling over from the lock down and probably restriction eating into job losses which cost a fall on them onsite so all is almost instantaneously we see the hit to the economies years off very often small an economy like singapore here we already saw that reflect that in the us or the estimate of its g. D. P. Shrinking almost nearly 3 percent young year itself and i think that d will see all of these being being weve gotten repeated throughout the region primary you know different various degrees those who dwell on just more of operation when it went in on it came. Back i think off that the collapse in Global Demand and the impact of travel restrictions in the 2nd quarter but generally very sober sivia across the region whether youre talking about advanced economy and of korea or developing one no lazy im going to need your time when water is rebounding 1st. Well obviously it had to be a case of to have prices tackle morrall and distance competent return we dont know when that will be in terms of rebounding small an economy like singapore be so its seen a poison canary in the coal mine itself its very much into link to global trade well the trade is expected to slump by 11 percent by the end met this year from about one percent growth last year so singapore up will probably feel. First and theyre both from all around the region obviously much will depend on their exposure tools that global trade and to what extent the coops in domestic demand problem the contraction in the supply side its been many each as well but around the region various effects some will obviously be negative territory some less exposed to to the son of the mana side like vietnam probably can avoid a recession and still register of course the role of the ship arsenic refuse reports in the media suggesting that chinas economy although it has been hit is likely to be able to weather this storm why do you think it is that china has been able to do that many other countries in asia have been hit so hard. I suppose the difference is. Of the very draconian measures being taken once they learn and realize the seriousness of the 8 itself and a coordinator of the government and the various state agency in the situation the high need to delete the recovery as the economy gradually open up but to what extent we can recover and fully recover is debatable because ultimately it is duly connected to the war in part of the supply chain and if their issues rest of the world that could still be a drag on the external site itself and on the domestic economy or the the case obviously it will be to what extent what we talked about earlier consumer Business Companies return they feel that they can resume the light asked normal if they do also then obviously china can be a recovery up all region and for the region if china can stabilize quicker than the rest of them will that can also anchor our recovery as well really good to get the benefits of your experience there thank you very much unsung someone we appreciate it. Ok lets go back to our Previous Story on our tongue and were talking to is an advisor to the Chinese Government on economic and Development Issues were talking to are they a war of words thats growing between china and the u. S. With regards to the w. H. O. But i know i believe you were expounding on that in saying this is about much bigger issues when you got cut off earlier. E. S. I mean obviously as i said before china believes that trump is trying to use this as a political issue for his campaign to say that theres some sort of conspiracy between the w. H. O. In china not clear what the w. H. O. Would get out of that but the larger issue is what happens to this budget you know the u. S. Has about 15 percent how the money goes to africa and about 40. 00. All the 10 percent of the entire budget is really going to developmental areas this is a time when you know youre out there has to be more cooperation especially as the needs i mean everyones concentrate on the u. S. And europe and china but the fact is there are so many nations in you know in unusual Asia South America where they have a much weaker Health Security system and you know that kind of case you could see real dyers also people are going to regret that they were arguing about this at this point when they see the tragedy some older in the aftermath of the spread of the virus from mohan china has been working very hard its been publicly recorded that it has been working very hard to give medical supplies to some of the some of the countries that you mentioned for example is china attempting to improve its image if you like given the fact that there was confusion and allegations of a lack of transparency when the virus originally broke. Well i think this is a fact not in evidence i think china tried its best remember this virus was new when they developed when they were in town training they dont have. The they did not have the luxury of hindsight they didnt have 2 months to react and plan and try to figure out what their next move was yes i think there was a bureaucratic incompetence see at the local level but when it got to National Level and they you know decided that this wasnt fact something very serious they took immediate action you can see the results of that in terms of china coming out i think is wrong d to believe that theres some sort of overarching conspiracy ive been living here a 15 years i know a tremendous number of people in both the expat and Chinese Community d and by prickly i dont know any of them i keep asking does anybody know anybody who who has it and the answer has been uniformly no so i think you know thats anecdotal but i can tell you that you just dont see the signs so it could be that there is a a narrative out there thats trying to say that theres you know what if this happened or what dont we know i think that is not the point right now the world should be focused on the incredible tragedies that are happening and trying to prevent more from happening and the very near future one of the ways of course to do that is everybodys agreed is to allow the spread of data and particularly the spread of information about any new virus one of the allegations that was made about to the local authorities in mohan was that they were to some degree can sound about giving bad news to chinas Central Government and that is what delayed the process is there a lesson for the Central Government and the communist party to learn in terms of allowing people to feel more comfortable about pos ing on news like that. Well i dont think its necessarily just you need to china i think all your ocracy is happy tendency to be very very cautious they dont want to spread bad news in terms of china they were very quick to start punishing many officials were removed others have been severely disciplined this was not something that the Central Government was welcoming so when they took over you saw a very marked difference both in accountability and actions that were taken but you know to say this is a chinese problem is kind of like saying this is a chinese flu you know a pandemic is doesnt have a nationality it moves around the world and human nature is the same way its really not a good at yet try to internationalize issues like this as it was good to get your opinion on this ng and thank you very much indeed for your time thank you ok in other news more than 2 dozen Rohingya Refugees have died of starvation on a boat thats been a drift for 2 months off the coast of bangladesh nearly 400 people on the bus were trying to reach malaysia they were rescued by bangladesh is coast guard in white and state hundreds of thousands of rohingya a flood prosecution and me and mom want to have a child whos live for us in dhaka just give us a bit more of the background to what happened. Well. It happened last night our own local time 8 pm when the coast guard were tipped off that there is a boat floating withdrawing or refuges on the coast of tech now cox bazaar and once they were rescued they were under the custody of the coast and eventually the coast guard today after i spoke to the u. N. Aide said they told me that 382. 00 rowing as well handed over to u. N. H. C. R. They have been taken to a Quarantine Center theyll be staying there for 14 days theyll be examined medically for various ailments because theyve been floating in the sea for almost 2 months many of them are in really starvation mode they urinate said told me they dont know exactly how many number of people died but they estimate somewhere between 28 to 30 people possibly have died during those 2 months while the boat was. Adrift in the sea now this is not the 1st incident within the last year theres been several incidents like this just as late as middle of february this year at least 15 people died while trying to go to malaysia and 40 people were missing the rest were rescued by bangladesh course got many of the people are desperate to escape the camp condition they want to better life somewhere many of them have ties in malaysia with some rowing as living their marriage ties or they want to get married so theres always an attempt and these are also been helped by the human traffickers cox bazaar. For children live for us thank you very much indeed we appreciate it and. I want to bring in Phil Robertson whos the Deputy Director of the Asia Division of Human Rights Watch hes joining us now from buying kong phil give us some context if you would please why are these boats drifting around. Well this shows how desperately. Perilous the situation is both on the boats and also in these camps i mean the rohingya are extremely desperate they are unhappy and the camps they dont see any future going back to myanmar because myanmar has essentially not given any pledges to allow people to return to home to me on mar and dignity. And with the protection of their rights and they dont see improving situation in the camps those camps are locked down they dont even have Internet Services they dont have Adequate Health services the children cant go to school and so people are making a dangerous and perilous voyage to try to get to a better life in malaysia the it used to be the case that we were covering rohingya stories at least every 2 days here on aljazeera the worlds attention has over slowly refocused to the pandemic thats going across the globe but what kind of impact has that had on the way that they were when you are existing at the moment and how theyre being treated. Well i think that the issue is certainly fallen out of the news but the desperation of the right here continues i mean were very concerned about a potential outbreak of covert d 19 in that refugee camp which has got more than a 1000000 people in it i mean its the Worlds Largest refugee camp people are packed together its very very difficult to get information to all the refugees about how to protect themselves so i think that you know the covert 19 news story which has not the rohingya has plight out of the news is also something that i think the governments are you know now looking at i mean you look at malaysia malaysia is very reluctant to have more people arrive at their borders and there was a previous boat they came a profit where over 200 rohingya made it to langkawi theyre still in quarantine and theres concerns about whats going to happen to them how concerned are you with regard to the camps that are still in bangladesh that if covert 900 gets into one of those camps the outbreak could be significant we think those camps are a tinderbox for code 19 we are concerned that if it there is an outbreak theres no way to stop it. The people are so packed together many of them have Underlying Health conditions out make them very vulnerable to cope at 19 the government of bangladesh refuses to turn the internet back on so that people can communicate more easily with the refugees this is a disaster in the making and were just praying that we dont see the kind of outbreak that we fear may come there Phil Robertson talking to us from bangkok hes director of the Asia Division of Human Rights Watch thank you very much indeed for your time thank you.

You watch it all just a reminder of our top stories this hour Chinese State media have criticised Donald Trumps decision to cut funding to the World Health Organization the global times calls it a move against humanity to distract from toms mismanagement of the pandemic. A time damming will cause asias Economic Growth to stall at 0 percent for the 1st time in 60 years thats the latest dire assessment from the International Monetary fund. More than 2 dozen youre having your refugees have died of starvation on a boat thats been addressed for 2 months off the coast of bangladesh nearly 400 people on the vessel were trying to reach malaysia. Displaced people in yemen say their Living Conditions are deteriorating after years of war that already has severe shortages of food and medical supplies many of what it covers 19 could reach their camps home involves the story. Living in a quagmire at about camp in yemen a Southern Region of large hosts nearly 400 families they fled the fighting in the western city of who made it nearly 2 years ago. With their lives but little else we havent received relief aid for 9 months relief organizations have stopped coming here and because theres a curfew in place people cannot get out to work they cant meet food medicine carpet blankets and much more most of the people in the camp women and children are finding food is a daily struggle drinkable water israel. So is a decent education for the young. These are their homes this is what happens when it rains yemen has been at war since 2015 when saudi arabia and the United Arab Emirates start of the conflict with the who the shia group that had taken power by force in the capital sanaa according to a recent report by Human Rights Watch more than 17000 civilians have been killed and injured and more than 20000000 are facing Food Insecurity of those 10000000 are at risk of famine and now this the threat of course on a virus one of them i have this is a dangerous disease that threatens the whole world so we must protect ourselves and our children. The 1st confirmed infection in yemen was announced last week the donor above the law there are we have suggested a few measures that includes distancing between tents and preventing gatherings with support from unicef but we need sen you cook and medicines and to train our staff and how to dispense they needed care in case of an outbreak of the disease this camp is just one of many across yemen there are 10 more in this province alone in the Northern Region of had the whole this camp is another instance of the misery that war can bring human is already one of the poorest countries in the region its now divided between warring sides foreign and local the conflict is hampering the work of relief organizations. The un has called for a humanitarian ceasefire to allow aid to be brought in and around a virus measures implemented saudi arabia announced a cease fire that was to take effect earlier this month but news out of the air raids and fighting on the ground have been reported by who the official media it to me is the continuation of a war that has destroyed almost everything its primary victims are too young to act or even to understand the United Nations says more than half of the 24000000 people in yemen who need humanitarian help children their future and out of yemen as a viable state could be at risk unless it is allusion to the conflict is found to have a divide and. The u. K. Is expected to announce an extension to its nationwide partial lockdown the Health Minister says its too early to relax restrictions that came into effect about 3 weeks ago lets go live to rory chalons whos in london for us rory do we have any more details about this extension. What your arm and i mean sutton at the moment in south london give you a quick view before we get into that down the high street this is pretty typical i think of high streets up and down the length and breadth of the u. K. At the moment quiet but there are people out they are doing their essential shopping taking some exercise the things that theyre allowed to do pretty much every shop down this road though behind me has one of those white printed pieces of paper in the window apologising to customers that they will be closed until further notice those are put up 3 weeks ago and i think what we know now although it hasnt been formally announced is this those signs are going to be there probably for another 3 weeks at least the politicians have been saying for at least a week now that its too early to lift the partial lockdown measures the scientists have been saying for at least a week now that its too early to lift the dock. Measures what we will see today is a bunch of meetings where the governments is going into sessions with scientists from the Scientific Advisory group for emergency use age it will have its cobra emergency meeting as well and in those meetings the decision will will be formalized and well get some sort of announcement later on today but basically everyone knows that the u. K. Slowdown is going to continue for a while longer i think that this issue will have pretty much across the board political supports but there are calls coming from the labor party the Opposition Labor Party the new leader of the party kissed amr has said to the government. What we want you to do is to start articulating to the u. K. What the strategy is for coming out of this lockdown period at some point whenever that is we dont know how long its going to last for but what we want to know is how were going to get out of there what are the measures going to be brought in that business is going to be opening slowly or this is all going to come in one burst what was going to happen with the schools thats kind of thing because thats what the labor party is saying at the moment that the government hasnt told and you want to talk origins bringing us up to date with the situation in u. K. Rory thanks very much indeed. Schools and nurseries have reopened in denmark as it begins to relax its lockdown restrictions its among the 1st in europe to try a gradual reopening in order to get the economy back on track but many parents say its too soon and theyve kept their children at home so when john reports from copenhagen. A long awaited review when a School Principal welcomes back his students after a whole month i have really missed my school and im excited to meet my teachers and friends to see them again is a very very big pleasure but much has changed social distancing is still required and parents are no longer allowed to drop off their children inside the school worried about the kids and. Im happy but im worried at the same time however excited the kids are to see their friends again. Hugging is not allowed. Instead they have to wash their hands. Properly calibrated and sit in the classroom 2 metres apart which requires spreading the children to more rooms been out hiring. Young students to come in and supply our normal stuff so i have enough stuff apart from schools nurseries are also opening today but only half of them are ready to welcome kids due to the new Health Requirements with extra cleaning less furniture and more outdoor classes. The rest will open in the coming days. The kitchen is closed it says this used to be the kitchen area for children having breakfast in the morning if only kids under 11 years old who are back at schools in denmark the rest are still at home and these are the lockers for the kids their jackets and shoes are here but theyre no longer allowed to be here in order to avoid them standing too close to each other. While the children here are happy being back. Thousands of parents are refusing to send their kids to school im responsible not the state not the kindergarten not im responsible for catching will keep the children at home in school for the next few weeks. Perhaps months and worried about their hours of course and weve been protecting our kids for the last months like mad and now theyre supposed to go ahead of it all and im also worried about the scenario theyll meet based on fear and distance which is not natural for a child. Back at the school its time for a short break. Dont get too close to each other but the children are only allowed to play in small groups of 4 and i feel bad for the kids because they want to play together and they are not allowed to play together. Copenhagen russias outbreak is growing rapidly for the 5th straight day its reported a record daily rise in infections more than 3400. 00 new cases of being confirmed bringing its total to nearly 28000. 00 the government says at least 232 russians have died Health Authorities are warning they could run out of hospital beds over the next few weeks nigeria is facing its worst recession in more than 30 years the International MonetaryFund Projects africas biggest economy is going to shrink by 3. 4 percent this year the pandemic on global lockdowns were pushed down oil prices and millions of people are expected to lose their jobs reports. The Global Pandemic is taking a human and economic toll on nigeria its main Resources Oil demand and the market price is falling wall quite adding to the crisis a dispute between major producers saudi arabia and russia were just driven prices to their lowest level in nearly 2 decades all the world producers have agreed to cut production in order to shore up prices theres been no significant price as yet its not going to be easy for us. What the president does dawn was the president told us this he doesnt want. Development projects to suffer. Weve taken a lot of preemptive steps and we are very confident that would be shielded from some of these losses that being the specter of nigeria cut its daily output from point 1000000 borrows to 1800000 before the Oil Producers meeting a few days ago and the new agreement has forced another cut in production by a father 417000 barrels a day. Economists say this is leading to plant closures and job losses which there is to meet to be between 15 and 30 percent for now so companies that may have a stellar record now nobody knows where that goes at least. At the end of the object that has a lot and absolutely. Also a month to be up there yet experts say even for those able to keep their jobs that are no guarantees of doing that for long nigerias the session is projected to continue into next year though at a slower rate representatives of organized labor here are concerned. Jobs. Injury. Too many already guess injury to life and they want. You both know. The National Bureau of statistics report of 2900 said nigeria had 23 percent unemployment in 2018 but one official admitted that the number could top 33 percent this year and that was even before the current 1000. 00 pandemic and a sharp decline in oil demand and pricing the Nigerian Government is cutting its 2020 budget estimates by merely 40 percent with negative implications on Financing Development and job creation. I report from the world bank predicts africas economy will lose between 37. 00 to 79000000000. 00 in. Nigeria in particular is expected to account for a substantial part of that loss more bad news for a country with 2 years ago emerged from its worst recession since 1987. Tens of thousands of pakistanis have been stranded abroad awaiting repatriation flights from their government pakistan says citizens will soon be brought back from countries like the United Arab Emirates and maicon has more. As a moment with his family but not with some of his relatives in the United Arab Emirates desperately wanting to come back to pakistan he can only speak to them on the phone and.
