So the latest coronavirus developments from around the world now were starting with some good news from south korea which was one of the worst hit countries in asia for the 1st time in 2 Months Health officials have reported no new domestic infections thats the 1st time since the outbreak peaked in february meaning south koreas total now sits at a little over 10700. 00 cases and 247. 00 deaths according to Johns Hopkins university not such good news in britain though the number of deaths there is jumped to more than 26000 because the government is now starting to include fatalities from places like care homes for the elderly previously was just the hospitals so with that change the u. K. Now has the 2nd highest number of fatalities in europe after italy but some positive news about a possible treatment coming out of the u. S. Officials say theyre seeing progress in trials with the anti viral drug via the rate is reported to have dropped from 11 and a half percent to 8 and Dr Anthony Fauci the top advisor on the pandemic in the u. S. Says the average Recovery Time has gone down from 15 days to 11. Although a 31 percent improvement doesnt seem like a knock out 100 percent it is a very important proof of concept because what it is proven is that a drug can block this virus. More on the situation in south korea now with mcbride in seoul. Weve been seeing numbers of around 10 new cases per day being reported sometimes down and to Single Digits and we know that most of these cases have been coming from abroad people arriving into south korea the latest figures show that there have been 4 new cases but all of those cases have been from abroad so for the very 1st time we have no cases of local transmission so it is something of an achievement you have to say when you compare it to the height of the outbreak at the end of february south korea was reporting Something Like 900. 00 plus cases every day so to get it down to this has been a real achievement of the government here though the authorities are still advising caution as they would especially at the moment we do have what is a very actually a very busy travel period we have several Public Holidays by coincidence all forming very close together so people are using this opportunity especially after being cooped up for so long in coinciding incidentally with beautiful spring weather to take breaks for the 1st time for many many of them for many weeks its difficult obviously still to travel outside of south korea but people are going to domestic destinations resorts around the coast we know that planes are all busy so theres the domestic terminals and some of the hotels in the more popular resorts are completely full this thursday we are seeing buddhas birthday its a very Important National holiday here its being celebrated at temples across the country but an indication of just how things are changing in previous years the high point of this celebration would be a carnival a parade through the streets of seoul at night time with lanterns attracting thousands of people well that has been delayed for a month with much simpler ceremonies taking place instead. Now as you mention the number of coronavirus deaths in the u. K. Is jumped to more than 26000 now after the government began including numbers from care homes for the 1st time in germany lockdowns are raising fears about the state of its economy as well as the news from across europe now with catherine stansell. Despite 5 weeks of lockdown the u. K. Reaches a grim milestone the death toll from coronavirus is now the 2nd highest in europe behind italy the man standing in for Prime MinisterBoris Johnson himself still recovering from corona virus says this is down to the fact that deaths outside of hospitals were not being recorded in the daily figures until now we have recorded an additional 3811. 00 deaths in total and i think its just important to say those additional deaths were spread over the period from the 2nd of march the 28th of april so that they dont represent a sudden surge in the number of deaths but secretary rob.

The cabinet decided that Global Travel restrictions were nonessential on Holiday Travel will be up held until june 14th this is a decision that we have had to take because we are not at the point in our fight against the disease to be able to offer safe travels. Meanwhile in spain one of europes worst hit countries theyve recorded a daily coronavirus death count below 400 for the 6th day in a row in the summer times theres reason to be hopeful catherine stansell aljazeera.

Or wind up as a dictator or. Where we have to. Rise up and get into. Place. Its an intractable conflict with both hafter and the tripoli government receiving support from multiple nations feel that feeds the conflict one of have to is closest allies is the United Arab Emirates sources told al jazeera that a senior abu dhabi delegation including the crown princes brother flew into khartoum on choose day to discuss how sudan and the u. A. E. Could further support general haftar sudanese officials deny the report there learn and then leave you if you had a part of the u. A. E.

Just a little update there weve heard from the Foreign Ministry statement condemning turkish intervention in the libyan conflict and also praising the hafta for what it calls quote combating terrorism or get more with my hood up though i heard our correspondent in tripoli i guess the most important thing at this point mahmud is is this cease fire holding is that likely to hold. No commercial it does not seem to be holding but its never that nevertheless its quite on the front lines this morning but it does not mean the ceasefire is holding because military commanders with the government of National Accord to met last night and they. Come up with a decision that they are not accepting that ceasefire they say that half those forces immediately after the announcement of his folks man adam smadi of that station of hostilities have those forces that targeted the city of them silat with heavy weapons and then the Government Forces return to the fire with heavy. Fire. They say that the Government Military sources say that they cannot trust a half to us forces announcement they say that this could be a kind of attempt by have forces to try to gain time and try to regroup rearrange their plans specially after this setback they suffered the in the west of libya especially after they lost control of civil strategic cities along the highway linking the capital of tripoli to the borders now. The government of National Accord the military commanders with the government say that they cannot trust the have to when they announce one have to have to spokesman announces a cessation of hostilities because have to himself rejected the civil proposals of cease fire and end the past and the situation remains that very honest people. As you know. That have to the forces are targeting the Government Forces locations in the vicinity of the city of the horn of the measure of a stronghold for how sort of forces but meanwhile Government Force or government affiliated forces and the cells of libya are clashing those have to the forces in the around the city of.

Germany and all of europe have kept an eye on hezbollah and its allies on this members and its friends and this is something routine they had been banned the military wing of hezbollah had always been banned but now theyre looking at the social and cultural and Political Activities the interesting thing is that the news came with really no details so if you look at the news reports they say suspected or possible members or supporters and thats this hint that actually they evidence may be sent but we dont know so i think the important thing is to ask the germans to put the evidence out there in public if you have people in charitable groups in mosques and schools who are actually helping a group that is those are made as a terrorist group the thats important for people to know but if this is a political pressure game that the americans and the israelis are doing which is typical then thats a whole different ball game then that this is something that has been has dealt with for the last 15 years or so and it doesnt really impact them at all so the question is what happened recently to bring this about and this is something the german governments going to have to explain in the news ahead so they could be up to 16000. 00 layoffs as airplane manufacturer boeing sufferance through the effects of this pandemic.
