To appeal for help to fight coronavirus the u. N. Agency for Palestinian Refugees says its running out of cash. Im going to go with sports as well which turns to south korea the defending champions get off to a wedding starts inside an empty stadium thank medical workers the best celebration. We begin in the u. S. Where numbers just released show unemployment has surged in april the biggest in close to 90 years tens of millions of jobs or wiped out right across the countrys coronavirus long downs fatter the economy unemployment skyrocketed to 14. 7 percent it was 4. 4 percent in march in april 20 point 5000000 jobs were lost as the worst result since the Great Depression which began in 1929 it far exceeds the 2008 global recession when 8700000 jobs were wiped out. Going out to our White House Correspondent kimberly how can those numbers just coming out of us can get really todays numbers just adding to the bleakness of yesterdays weekly figures right absolutely and the u. S. President donald trump giving an interview to fox news just now talking about those numbers reacting about the very high Unemployment Rate that was not unexpected but certainly not good news for this administration the u. S. President calling these numbers in his view other acceptable also saying that he is optimistic that as president he can bring this economy back you have to remember just 8 weeks ago there was another sort of record in the books and that was historically low unemployment now we have just the opposite brack new records being set the u. S. President saying that he believes he can bring back a very Strong Economy but whats interesting is his timeline the u. S. President predicting that 2021 will be a very strong year why is that important well the u. S. President is up for reelection in 2020 hidden in that message is the underlying request that all americans vote for him if they want to see these jobs come back. Or a sign of showing this confidence that you called me will come for all the jobs outlining how that is to be achieved. I think one of the biggest things the u. S. President has been arguing is that in is necessary to reopen the economy that the foundation of the economy in his view is sound and strong but thats in contrast to what many experts believe because the reality is while these jobs were lost in a matter of weeks it could take months even years for these jobs to come back now i should tell you that the u. S. President also talked about a few other important topics that i want to quickly just take off in terms of headlines the other big story here in the United States of course is the issue of the department of justice deciding not to prosecute Michael Flynn the president s former National Security advisor u. S. President promising that he will be releasing new details about that investigation that of course also envelop his own presidency for many many months the u. S. President under investigation in terms of his contacts with russia and whether or not there was collusion during the 2016 u. S. Campaign and also another big headline out of the United States that its important to mention is that tape about operate in georgia this is a black man who was hunted down while he was jogging allegedly shot by 2 white armed individuals the u. S. President reacting that this video very disturbing saying that he hopes that justice will prevail but getting back to the issue of the economy and what really has rocked this country in terms of covert 19 the u. S. President saying his administration has now been talking to chinese officials in the last 24 hours very interesting that the president is saying with regards to the origin of this virus well they always point to china in that lab and on the u. S. President now saying that he doesnt believe that this was deliberately spread instead hes blaming incompetence saying i dont believe it was done on purpose so the u. S. President. Midst of all that the underlying message sent me is that the u. S. President as he tries to get this economy back on track is looking to lose some sort of Partnership Still the china knowing that it is a very important trade partner its important to note the u. S. President has not weighed in definitively on whether or not there will be additional tariffs as punitive action towards china for the reality of what he faces with this economy and these jobless numbers in the United States clearly alone this flight right now thanks so much can but how can behind every one of those grim on Employment Statistics in the u. S. Is a story of personal loss john hendren spoke with one woman from chicago who was working 2 jobs to make ends meet until the pandemic struck.

More visits cross over to Elizabeth Cohen are joining us live from new delhi this such a heartbreaking story of people trying to walk very long distances home and then getting hit by a train what more do we know about why this happens. Absolutely sammy. Yeah they are continuing to walk you know more than 6 weeks after indias lockdown began so Migrant Workers walk along train tracks because theyre not allowed to be walking home on fortune theyre more likely to be stopped if they walk in on roads or highways we know that this group was resting on train tracks sleeping in fact because theyre above ground level with their wild animals unfortunately this these arent the only my brain deaths that took place on friday eve this saw a husband and wife who were making a journey of Something Like 700 kilometers between the states of her there and shut this with their 2 Young Children on a bicycle they were hit by a car and both of the adults died we know that tens of Migrant Workers have died since indias imposed its locked down and canceled all public transport. Millions have been stranded in cities and states which theyre not from with no work or income over half a 1000000 of them have walked home and after protests around the country the government started special trains to take my view and work his home but the government itself is under pressure from industries who dont want my point workers to leave the cities as they are reopening because bay fear that theyre going to have a lack of labor we saw the state of cotton article actually cancelled trains earlier this week after a meeting with the Real Estate Developers association of india theyve now done a huge turn and restarted trains because they were under a lot of criticism and we met my current workers this week who are walking 600 kilometers with very Young Children because they have no hope of getting on on one of these trains of the trains are a start but as you can see from both of these very tragic incidents on friday they just arent enough of them.

Well ive been way of doing my customers off been able to go to you know weve all been in different rooms and then its a case of musical rooms so to thing you know but the control over the crisis is under threats with the summer here and the government promising easing of the lockdown and the rights of the water its. Because this is what things look like here at the end of march hundreds of londoners having a day out at the seaside risking which doubles health the town was furious people were were outraged by what we dont want is particularly london is because of the high degree of infection thats in london and therefore the perceived greater risk we dont want lots of londoners or visitors coming down potentially bring in their additional hoyer risk to the area the new normal after lockdown depends on people accepting social distancing this weekend in which civil could prove informative the best Case Scenario of course is that people have learned something over the last 6 weeks about what constitutes appropriate behavior in the new normal the worst Case Scenario is in the coming days and weeks crowds begin to form again and that would surely mean that the lockdown rather than being eased might have to be extended the towns m. P. Has some advice dont bother coming at all i really hope they dont come to us well its not a holiday its not business as normal and we have to get that mindset into our heads in our own families and just stay where we are having spoken to a dozen local businesses not a single one was in favor of easing the lock down if it meant endangering health if a town reliant on people and suffering so much economic damage thinks this the government should surely be taking things slowly Lawrence Leigh aljazeera in which to bill. The us is removing its patriot antimissile systems and other weapons from saudi arabia that after its scales back an arms buildup which began when tensions with iran increased last year Saudi Oil Installations are among some of the facilities being affected the u. S. Send weapons and fighter jets after saudi aramco plants were attacked last september dozens of u. S. Military personnel will be reassigned when asked about the report president van tromp will give specific answers. Well i dont want to talk about it but were doing some things were making a lot of moves in the middle east and elsewhere were doing a lot of things all over the world militarily weve been taken advantage of all over the world our military and. In the sense that were and this is nothing to do with saudi arabia this has to do with other countries frankly much more we have the most powerful military in the world heres a quick look at the recent moves by the white house in the middle east from proposal it warned that if saudi arabia didnt cut oil supplies he wouldnt be able to stop the u. S. Congress from withdrawing troops from the kingdom that followed the plunge in oil prices and riyadhs price war with russia before that trump told iran it would pay heavily if it attacked u. S. Troops stationed in iraq in march the United States announced it was withdrawing hundreds of soldiers from 4 bases there. Is an assistant professor at the university of Nottingham Center for conflict security and terrorism he says the Oil Price Plunge may have influenced trumps decision. Because of the oil price 1. 00 of the things thats happened is that anybody who wants to time whether its us who it is or its iranians and all refinery theyre going to waste their time because its not going to hurt and have the effect that he would have had many months ago i think also the point that saudi arabia has been with in a price war with russia now that its impacted american produces tax and hope it uses a very hard go into prices going into negative territory you know president in case in in the u. S. And so there is a pressure on the regime or the administration in washington to stop importing saudi and other oil and concentrate on domestically produced oil and i think finally that the the army is under stress with the missiles that they need to deploy and they have deployed additional missiles early this year or 2 around iraq to protect their bases after the the iranians fired several missiles at one of their bases and then the other thing we mustnt forget is that the corona virus has hit the u. S. Very hard economically and so what the president cant afford to do is cut back on the military but what he can do is cut back on military spending and having squadrons of aircraft Fighter Aircraft and thats part of this withdrawal as well d as the patriot system based in saudis costing additional money. The u. S. Justice department has dropped the case against president dollar transfers National Security adviser former general Michael Flynn who was fired in the early days of the Trump Administration after admitting he lied to the f. B. I. About contacts with russia alan fischer sports from washington. During the trump president ial campaign general Michael Flynn often led the chance of look around him to the republicans opponent Hillary Clinton yes thats right what he faced a very real prospect that would happen to him after he pled guilty of lying to the f. B. I. In recent weeks his new legal team insisted documents had been uncovered which suggested misconduct by f. B. I. Investigators no the Justice Department wants all charges dropped i didnt know that was happening at this moment i felt it was going to happen just by watching and seeing like everybody else does he was an innocent man he is a great gentleman he was targeted by the Obama Administration and he was targeted in order to trying to take down a president and what theyve done is a disgrace and i hope a big price is going to be paid a big price should be paid 24. 00 days as National Security adviser is the shortest ever remain in the important government post he resigned when confronted with evidence he lied about his contacts with the Russian Ambassador to the us that made him vulnerable to blackmail he also lied about his law being for the turkish government and the white house said hed lied to the Vice President his resignation was an issue of trust. Flynn and initially worked with the miller inquiry into russian collusion with the Trump Campaign to win a lighter sentence but last year he changed lawyers and took a more aggressive approach to Court Proceedings even though hed already pled guilty the decision to drop the case has left many legal experts surprised. It is appalling that somebody who actually pleaded guilty to 2 crimes is now walking away because the attorney general of the United States is deciding there isnt enough evidence to prosecute him i think that given the judges. Statements in this case all along judge Emmet Sullivan i think judge sullivan may have something to say about this sudden reversal dont trump has hinted hes open to bringing Michael Flynn back into the administration a federal judge now has the final decision but it seems the legal case may be coming to an end the political fallout of the Justice Departments decision is only just beginning alan fischer ill just you know Washington Well bruce fein is a former u. S. Associate Deputy Attorney general joins us by skype from washington d. C. Good to have you with us thats thought 1st with a question of is this the end of this case you know under the federal rules of criminal procedure the judge mr sullivan has to approve the dismissal so its not the end of the case it does however raise the issue of if he decides he will not accept the dismissal who would prosecute the Justice Department doesnt does that mean that judge. Emmitt sullivan would appoint and that has been done before some kind of add junk to the court to prosecute the case still very unclear on that score but it is a certainty that without the judges Authority Even if the case is not moved forward its not going to be dismissed. Was the decision to drop charges is that being seen as politicized. I think the answer is yes ive been around the Justice Department for close to 50 years this is truly unprecedented for several reasons 1st he pled guilty twice 2nd he didnt claim that he was coerced that he had incompetent counsel indeed he had counsel at blue chip law firms and the Justice Department did not when they sought dismissal argue that the pleas were coerced or involuntary simply said that he pled guilty to something that wasnt a crime well thats really odd position for the department to take because the department charged him with a crime he agreed that he committed a crime its oftentimes true when youre negotiating a plea bargain you can use a language when describing what action youre pleading to that tries for political reasons to negotiate somewhere middle ground between the department and the jews that doesnt make the activity seem so deprived and even if it doesnt technically violate a statute but as long as the the accused pleads guilty that is never been viewed as a defense. If the qs thought it wasnt a crime you should pursue it his case the jews thought it was a crime because he pled guilty twice and this is what i think is going to require congress to call mr barr to testify as to what went into his Decision Making the point may only be thinking it thanks so much group. Thank you. Some hope for justice for the family of an unarmed black man who was shot dead in broad daylight in the us state of georgia 3 months ago well in a News Conference earlier this hour Police Investigating the cases said theyll do Everything Possible to punish the culprits family of ahmed barbary say he was out jogging when he was confronted by the 2 white men who say they thought he was a burglar on 1st day Police Charged the father and son with the murder of the 25 year old the charges come after a National Public outcry over a lack of action and the gallacher has been monitoring this developing story joins us now live from miami the governor in georgia has been saying well the public deserve. How much did they get today. Well certainly the Georgia Bureau of investigation who are now running this case have acted very rapidly they took over the case on wednesday they arrested Gregory Mcmichael and his son travis on thursday but remember it was 2 and a half months since ahmad allbery was shot and killed allegedly by this father and son team who decided to go in hot pursuit because they suspected he was a burglar the case has been through at least 2 prosecutors one who recused themselves because the elder mcmichael is a former Police Detective who worked in that office and the 3rd wanted this to go to a grand jury but that 35 2nd or so viral video that now most people have seen really changed everything you would wonder what would happen if that hadnt been released that was taken by a 3rd man whose identity we still do not know and the investigators were alluding to the case perhaps widening but lets listen to what they said at this mornings press conference. I would tell you that this case is an active Ongoing Investigation in fact or its this press conference breaks today these agents behind me and agents in the in the crowd who are here today to observe will continue their investigation theyre staying in this community theyre going to continue to work it and theyre going to go wherever the facts take them if in fact the facts take them to make another arrest in this case then they will do that. Just to clarify the situation and so before the Georgia Bureau of investigations picked this up what was happening in those 3 months what was going on with the process. I mean not a lot to be quite frank the 1st prosecutor who was assigned this case had to recuse herself because the elder mcmichael who was a Police Detective worked in her office the same thing happened with the 2nd prosecutor and by the way some of these prosecutors said there wasnt a case to answer here it seemed pretty clear cut to them that they these 2 men had to used the states citizens arrest law to take down a criminal but for that law to work there has to be a crime in progress and that doesnt seem to be the case in the killing of mr r.
