States fears of a new outbreak emerging in the countrys northeast. Hello thank you for joining us at the global hunt for a krone virus vaccine and treatment took took a leap forward on monday with World Leaders pledging billions of dollars to the fight the European Commission hosted a virtual fundraising conference and nations promised to contribute more than 8000000000. 00 towards research a turning point according to the commissions president 3 and a half 1000000 people have now been infected by the virus worldwide about a 3rd of those have recovered but about 250000 people have died gradually country by country in some instances even city by city lockdowns are being lifted one of the hardest hit countries italy was among the nations that began easing restrictions on monday well have more from italy a little later but show the whole begins our coverage from oxford where scientists are working on a potential vaccine. Corona virus isnt going away so the world must find ways to live with it better ways of testing for it more effective ways of treating it most importantly eventually a vaccine against it the practice on many the goal is one to defeat this virus and e. U. Led virtual pledging conference aims to channel billions of dollars into the Global Response its not just about pouring money into research but also about pooling resources and expertise for the common good. Measure of sense and. If were really. Now thats. Why. The u. S. Isnt involved and while china is offering to help there are concerns the worlds Top Economists already at political loggerheads may engage in a vaccine war donald trump has already claimed a vaccine is just months away scientists point out that even if a vaccine is discovered in months itll be a lot longer than that before its stale damp and available to the billions wholl need it which is why its so important to find drug treatments that work in the meantime both are central to the funds being pledged and both are at advanced stages of trialing and research here at the university of oxford professor Martin Landry is leading the Worlds LargestClinical Trial into coronavirus drug treatments a project called recovery hes hoping to find an existing drug or combination of drugs that works to save lives well before a vaccine becomes globally available. I think your is probably too strong i dont think therell be a single drug that suddenly wipes out the krona virus but i think effective treatments are in sight and theyre critical theyre critical because patients are dying today and tomorrow and the day after and even with the best will in the world with 18 months off having a scaled up vaccine at best we need treatments that deal with the problem of now. Only in europe and parts of asia are there real signs of an infection slowdown globally new cases of covert 19 are being reported at more or less the same rate as they were a month ago we as a greatest for the developing world where social distancing is an adequate possible the greatest hope lies in a global effort against a global threat jonah how aljazeera oxford meanwhile italy has begun a return to normality 8 weeks after becoming the 1st country in europe to go into lockdown 4 and a half 1000000 italians are now allowed back to work and relatives can reunite at schools and cinemas remain shut alexy obrien reports. There how good theyve been waiting for for 2 months. For grandfather and granddaughter 3 united. During the korean teen we were desperate about it because now i cant even speak for how excited i am to excited we have only seen her with video calls for 2 months but it was not the same it couldnt be the same. When i saw her my heart stopped it seemed to be a century since id seen her after the longest lockdown in europe family visits are allowed but only of relatives live in the same region. Elsewhere the queues were back at romes main determining station though its not just take it but temperatures being taken. For love of what is that obviously after staying at home for almost 60 days it feels good i feel good and i feel safe. Across as a more than 4000000 people were back at work as construction sites and factories reopened and restaurants were allowed to sell takeaway food but taking public transport is still being discouraged by government and mosques a compulsory when sharing public spaces and doors. Funerals remain limited to 15 people but the bereaved able to lay flowers on the graves of the did the florists nearby carefully disinfected. With more than 210000 reported cases and around 29000. 00 tickets israelis one of the worst affected countries government leaders fear the loosening of restrictions will lead to a resurgence in cases Health Care Workers are taking extreme measures to track infections isolate clusters and make sure hospitals and overwhelmed again. Want to get every. Were being careful trying not to do too many things but at least were finally outside and breathing some fresh air families making the most of the sunshine and parks that have been reopened playgrounds remain off limits but youre happy because finally today they have opened after having closed for a month and a half even though obviously my daughter was disappointed to find the playground all blocked off there are many reminders that life isnt the same with school cinemas and theaters shot indefinitely but those ancient country has witnessed. Before and recovered italians just need to find a balance between staying safe and embracing their new found freedom elixir brian al jazeera. The trumpet ministration is projecting coronavirus thats in the u. S. Will reach 3000 the day by june the 1st thats according to an internal report seen by the New York Times several states have begun to reopen their economies despite warnings from some Public Health experts are White House Correspondent kimberly how kit has more you have the numbers are astonishing they have been upgraded from about 25000 infections a day 2200008 day by the end of june with the number of daily deaths by june rising to 3000 a day this is enormous in terms of the projections given the fact that these states are reopening now the white house has responded saying look at these are centers for Disease Control models these are federal Emergency ManagementAgency Models this isnt the Trump Administration per se and in fact the white house is saying the current a virus taskforce has not reviewed these models instead when reopening the state what it is saying is that its guidelines are science based and also that in fact the president is monitoring the state led efforts to reopen the economies but again theyre saying this is not something directed by the federal government so theyre pushing back on these reports but i can tell you as the American Public learns more about these numbers that are being projected it is likely to have an impact in to raise concern even alarm here in the United StatesChinese State media has accused the u. S. Of unprecedented propaganda warfare over the origins of covert 19 secretary of state has said there is significant evidence that it originated in a chinese chinese lab and that is the spider report from u. S. Intelligence agencies which says the virus does not appear to be manmade katrina you has the response from beijing. Theres been a escalating war of words between the u. S. And china in recent months and this latest state media editorial is only adding fuel to that fire so it was in the global times which is a Chinese State media newspaper and its published both in english and mandarin and both versions really had searing words attacking secretary of state mike pompei oh in particular they called him a liar saying that he quote is engaging in filthy behavior to mislead the public and that hes lost his moral compass theyve also accused Michael Pompei of really only being interested in getting donald trump reelected in the next elections in november and in store king and the chinese hatred in order to do this now this is in response to the comments we had earlier of my composure saying that there is significant evidence that corba 1000 or even 8 in a chinese lad in the institute of roller g. E. And ageing has flat out denied this its also denied that its engaging in any cover up would just Information Campaign and this editorial is really demanding that mike pompei and his colleagues really produce this evidence that they say they say that they have and these just said look hes really just engaging according to state media in a bluff in a big bluff and really just continuing this anti chinas Smear Campaign in order to divert attention from washingtons mishandling of the crisis back home. Thailand has also begun easing its restrictions after a study the climate the number of new Coronavirus Infections but the economy has been hit hard and many people now need help putting food on the table scott heide live reports from bangkok. As thais enjoy the easing of corporate 19 restrictions many remain reliant on food handouts from charities and local communities that are that it in some cases theres not enough to go around for those who can wait. Many closed businesses are able to reopen after almost 2 months of being shut but the state of emergency remains in place along with the 10 pm to 4 am curfew the ban on International Flights to thailand continues until the end of the month restaurants can have dine in customers but only one person per table and no alcohol for syria on the pet soon on its better than nothing but it might be too late for one party yeah im very worried about the Tourism Industry thais dont have the same purchasing power as foreign visitors the chinese koreans and japanese spend a lot of money but theyre all gone i think it may even take a year for things to get better the government will evaluate the situation every 2 weeks either determine to further ease the restrictions or if theres a spike in confirmed cases reimpose some of the rules while the government is a very much focused on the here and now of tackling kovac one thing theres a growing concern about the future some businesses opening up is good news but this country is so were lying on the Tourism Industry thats add a standstill like the empty streets here in all of bangkok there are many types of businesses connected with tourism so a downturn cuts deep into the population here we are an economy that depends a lot on globalization we depend a lot on the movement of people in tens of our independence on tourism i think contributing to 20 percent of the g. D. P. We also depend heavily on export pet grooming shops have also opened their doors the owner of bark lounge used her personal savings to keep the business afloat for her it paid off. A lot of my customers are starting to come back i think because my shop was closed for a long time during the temporary shutdown my clients had no choice since the government lifted some of the restrictions my customers are fighting to be the 1st in line. Thailand southern neighbor malaysia also began loosening covert restrictions most businesses including restaurants can reopen but some states are keeping restrictions in place they want more time to study the potential risks from relaxing the curbs back in the cramped low income neighborhoods of bangkok many dont work in the industries or businesses that every open so they still need the food handouts but theres hope that this is a 1st step that could lead to more restrictions being lifted and that they soon can return to providing for their families on their own scott heiler aljazeera bangkok. You watch aljazeera live from london still ahead a major breakthrough against malaria scientists discover a microbe that prevents mosquitoes getting infected plus instead of standing next to doing what us. Calls mount to allow more internationally trained doctors to practice in canada. I know there are quite a taste of winter already across southern regions the tickler the southeast of australia skies relatively clear and also as one reason we have been seeing scenes like this the 1st frost in camera you can see there on the ground of course under those clear skies and then the previous evening a beautiful sunset into the mountains all the victoria look at that the course of the sunshine setting over those snowy covered mountains 80 centimeters of snow has come down in the last few days mostly care across the southeast on tuesday time which is beginning to come back up and those curious skies and sunshine but again dipping down in the overnight hours the north on a new zealand strong winds but also some much needed rain and certainly some rain on its way into Western Australia and shes a couple of days and some pretty strong winds as well with this system. And then through wednesday it still brings the rain showers in and just really rolls its way very slowly through more Western Areas of the great buys from that we had up into the northeast of asia and weve had pretty good conditions across much of japan that will stay the case on the tuesday but some very heavy rain developing through bay right there down tools fusion on tuesday and then as we head to the north on wednesday more rain and clouds of helping babis a warm day ahead of all that in beijing with a high of 26. The passion the success and the popularity. For the love of his homeland. Into the realm of. Russia a clue for. The Algerian National liberation front with his feet. On. The back he is a reminder of the top stories on aljazeera World Leaders have pledged more than 8000000000. 00 to Fund Research into a vaccine and treatments for the coronavirus several countries began loosening lockdown measures on monday among them was with more the where more than 4000000 people have returned to work after 8 weeks at home and some Asian Countries are also easing restrictions thailand has lifted some measures because of a steady decline in the number of new infections. Nigeria has also joined the host of countries easing restrictions following a 5 week lockdown of medical workers a warning that the large crowds returning to the streets could result in a major a spike in cases amid a dress reports now from abroad. That nigerians in the capital take tentative steps towards normal life after a week lockdown but scenes like this shock medical workers on the front lines of the fight against 19 it is not a good decision. I distilled and. This is still got his nose. If we have you know about people who are. Women who have carrying capacity ot hospital beds to be able to take care of those who may have been affected. Some of the citys open markets remain closed frustrating many traders have not sold anything for more than a month. And there is no provision for the masses so i think is the reason why. Dont. You treat the lockdown has taken a toll of mice and livelihoods and many here are in a hurry to recoup their losses the collapse in oil prices has been another major blow for nigerias Oil Dependent economy. Was a full were trying to keep the prices as they are we dont want to even think about how losses as a businessman your priority is to keep your customer in good and bad times remember that many people didnt earn any money for weeks now but some Health Experts insist the government should continue to enforce emergency measures the government says are certain restrictions are being lifted night from 8 oclock until further notice and wearing off mask like this while outside and social distancing will not be strictly enforced in addition to reducing presenter numbers on public transport for now all places of worship will remain closed with government worried about enforcing social distancing. Another nigerian the lifting of restrictions when instructions are on the rise could be disastrous. In iran the best poll from the coronaviruses risen to more than 6270 as the country reopens mosques in 132 cities this means muslims can pray at places of worship for the rest of ramadan on sunday president that son rouhani said mosques would be allowed to reopen in areas consistently free of covert 19 but people must of the earth to social distancing wear masks and gloves and not stay for more than half an hour the country is one of the hardest hit in the middle east with more than 98600 cases meanwhile japans a state of emergency has been extended until the end of this month Prime Minister shinzo arbus says the countrys infection rate has not yet dropped to a safe level however the measures will be reassessed in 10 days time and abbott says they will be eased earlier if possible the state of emergency only allows local governors to urge people to stay home and ask businesses to close that scene some bars and restaurants and densely populated cities cream main open. Like japan has not experienced the explosive spread of infections like in other countries and some positive results are beginning to appear such as the effective reproduction number of the whole country falling below but at present there are still a considerable number of new infections and the number of infections is not declining at a sufficient level. Officials in afghanistan fear the coronavirus may be more widespread than originally thought after a random sample of residents in the capital found one 3rd had covert 1500. 00 people were tested for the disease in kabul with more than 150 testing positive the Health Ministry said it expects the number of infections to rise sharply as testing continues to be rolled out more than 80 people have been killed by the disease with the number of cases exceeding 2700. Hundreds of Migrant Workers stranded in the western india state of good cheer up have fought with police. Workers from across india have been stuck in the city of cigarettes since covert 1000 restrictions began in late march they say the government hasnt provided them with the food and train tickets home that they initially promised government leaders say doctors need time to check infections 1st. Scientists have made a major breakthrough in the fight against malaria they have found that a microbe that prevents mosquitoes from being infected with the disease actually stops them from then infecting humans the microbe is known as micro sporidia m. B. And it lives in the guts and genitals of mosquitoes researchers could not find malaria in any mosquitoes carrying the microbe more than 400000. 00 people are killed by malaria each year most of them are children under 5 its thought that at least 40 percent of mosquitoes in an area would need to be infected with the microbe for it to have a serious impact on the area well earlier i spoke to a Research Scientist at the International Center of inside physiology and they call a g. Jeremy heron he led the study any told me that his team had made incredible progress. Theres a few characteristics that we found in this micro theyd actually give us some clues as to what we could use to get it out and so that is the vertical transmission so a mother mosquito sacks all of her offspring. By by by inserting the microscope and their eggs. So that is one way in which the symbiote can spread into a population it is also infectious and weve actually found that it can be infected as mosquitoes mate so we could mass release male mosquitoes which dont have the capacity to transmit malaria in any case its only transmitted by humans and they could then spread that infection. To females who truth and pass it on to their offspring so there are a number of different ways that we could get out there and thats really the focus for the future studies we really need some new tools and in this fight against malaria and you know weve made incredible progress in this been i you know a lot of hard work to to get us to where we are but were still very far away from where we need to be. Scientists in chile have developed a test that could help diagnose coronavirus patients are earlier and for a fraction of the price one of the symptoms of coping 19 is the loss of sense of smell and a university in santiago has developed in the roma cared for suspected victims of the virus our last american editor and human has been to see how it works. The sweet aroma of a flower a pleasure made possible by our sense of smell which is also one of our least used senses thats why scientists were late to catch on that in estimated 80 percent of people who presented no obvious symptoms of coronavirus in fact as partial or total unknowns mia many of them have experience im just im norse which is all faction but also fact of the fact it comes as no other symptoms no car no fever just im not going to go home and a fever can be easily detected with a some momentary or thermal graphic camera but not the loss a smell which is highly subjective. Now the school of engineering and center of aroma and tasting chiles Catholic University have developed an objective test to measure it. The kid consists of 6 extremely familiar aromas a person is asked identifies 3 you can fail the test and not be infected but you can pass if you are says professor and then you can isolate the person that shows some of that. Fact to this function corroborate this person hasnt the call didnt 18 but we went to try it out so ive always prided myself over having a good sense of smell but now were going to see. Him in a loss. So i passed the test and thank god and the amazing thing about this is that. Its not only very very quick its extremely inexpensive about 0. 30 per test which means that its a very viable alternative in countries that cant afford widespread testing with the with the classic covert 1000. 00 examinations. A Pilot Program is starting this week but already there is widespread interest in using the kids in areas where theres a high probability of infections lame but if theyre going to get in industries that can start for example like Food Production in mines or hospitals they can tease them frequently and if they dont pass seen them to take the traditional test to confirm indeed just like having a High Temperature does not mean that you have cause it 19 losing a sense of smell isnt proof of infection but the smell test does provide a new Early Warning system to help detect those who are spreading the disease without even knowing it. You see in human aljazeera santiago there are growing calls in canada to let more International Train doctors support frontline Health Care Workers but current regulations are leaving many shut out of their chosen profession and a lack reports. Among all the trainees i have taught at this level some air ranks in the top 5 percent and on or off performance samir chohan reads a letter of recommendation from a doctor who supervised him as a medical volunteer in the United States thats the only way this canadian born graduate of a Foreign Medical School could get Work Experience with the cold in 1000 crisis placing heavy burdens on canadas hospitals hes asking why young doctors with foreign qualifications find it almost impossible to work in their own country many of us are qualified very knowledgeable and skill and we dont want those skills and knowledge to go to ways we want to use it to serve our country doctor if suad ran baghdads largest Pediatric Hospital then worked in muscat he and his wife a prominent dentist in both iraq and oman came to canada in 2013 to make sure their children had a stable future neither has been able to work would have to retrain as a g.

Governments in canada defer to medical licensing organizations which maintain they have to be cautious about admitting doctors trained in other countries but many say foreign training could also be an asset to Canadian Health care we should not forget that. Actually change in Foreign Countries sometimes even her clinic experience because they get exposed to the least Infectious Diseases that it would never see here in canada on terrio as medical licensing body told aljazeera its looking into the issue but as yet to make any changes in its residency programs one of canadas most multicultural cities brampton home to many currently unemployed foreign Trained Medical personnel is leading one of the. Any campaigns to usher more of them into the Health Care System the increase quincey of the tasks and the lack of hospital residencies that are made you. Billable to the foreign trained doctors so we have over 700 doctors who house all the tests but only 350 doctors actually got a residency last year so that is a huge waste of Human Capital attentional experts say covert 19 will continue to challenge the medical system here for months possibly years making the need for more frontline Health Care Workers ever more acute daniel like al jazeera toronto.
