To or they chose not to. Be frustrated un secretary general lashes out at World Leaders he says a falling short and they needed more than ever. And fears corona virus is spreading undetected through war torn yemen. We begin with yet more bad news out of the worlds biggest economy almost another 4000000 people in the u. S. Applied for unemployment support last week meaning more than 30000000 have made claims since march and the Unemployment Rate hovered around 3 and a half percent between december and february but in march it jumped to 4. 4 percent some economists believe the figure for april could be as high as 20 percent hoping to begin clawing back some financial ground more than 2 dozen states are moving ahead with plans to relax restrictions but as politicians in michigan were debating whether or not to do so armed protests in surrounded the State Capitol building some even made it inside a calling for an end to stay at home measure. I want house correspondent Kelly Holcomb tazz more on the latest unemployment numbers in the u. S. These are just the ones that have managed to file their claims online or even to get into an Unemployment Office that has been overwhelmed by the sheer number of americans that suddenly found themselves out of work this is just another bleak indicator we seem to be reporting on them every day that reminds us just how bad things have gotten in the United States as a result of the stay at home orders that were broccoli put in place to you know keep americans safe and well it has certainly resulted in a lower number of deaths than was initially projected there are certainly some very dire impacts economically and this is the latest measure of that now for his part of the u. S. President has been speaking at the white house today he was meeting with yet another governor this time new jersey of course a very hard hit state about reopening the economy this is something that is going to be done very gradually and as a result this means that the sort of jobs returning is not going to be a very quick snap back even as the u. S. President continues to project optimism why is he continuing to sort of cheerily the economy of this economic recovery well because its an Election Year and hes trying to win reelection in november but its going to be difficult because most Business Experts projects that while the jobs were lost overnight could be 2 to 3 years before they come back with the bad numbers mounting donald trump has again focused on chinas role in the pandemic he suggested without evidence that covert 19 must have been created to the chinese none of the governments may have chosen not to stop it from spreading petty calling has. A Conspiracy Theory has been floating on the fringes of conservative media for weeks and now its made its way to the white house you seen anything at this point that gives you a high degree of confidence that they would have instituted a raji was the origin of this virus yes yes i have that was the president of the United States indicating hes seen something that says the coronavirus was made in a chinese lab he didnt say if it was from a us agency or from Cable Television where he gets a lot of his information after reports that the cid ministration has been trying to get the Intelligence Community to find a connection to the lab the director of National Intelligence issued this statement saying the Intelligence Community also concurs with the wide Scientific Consensus that the covert 1000 virus was not manmade or genetically modified and 2 weeks ago the u. S. Military seemed to make the same conclusion on the on the lab piece but thats theres a lot of. Rumor and speculation in a wide variety of media the blog sites etc should be no surprise to you that weve taken a keen interest in that and weve had a lot of intelligence take a hard look at that and i would just say at this point its inconclusive although the weight of evidence seems to indicate natural some republicans have been trying to point the blame and public anger at china some even saying they should simply refused to pay china back for the u. S. Bonds it holds the president though said he wouldnt go that far indicating more tariffs could be his response further straining the relationship between the 2. 00 countries and the whole ready stretched Bank Accounts of consumers in the u. S. Who ultimately pay the price for those tariffs pedicle hain aljazeera of ascott works at the u. S. Based Economic Policy institute he says its clear what President Trump is doing. Well unfortunately the president is looking for a scapegoat this case you want somebody else you can blame for the now 60000. 00 plus deaths that weve experienced in the United States its certainly true theres plenty of blame to go around the chinese dithered they covered up they didnt they didnt want to acknowledge what was going on at 1st but they got serious after a few weeks very similar in many ways to the United States where the president denied and promise he was going to suppress the virus and didnt respond for 6 or 8 weeks until it was too late now weve had to bring the pen to make spread all d over the United States the hardest hit country in the world i think its got everything to do with the election in the fall the president is pulling out all the stops to try and get the economy going again and he knows that his his best calling card for the election was the strong state of the economy early in the year before the pen demick it would be very low Unemployment Rates and very strong stock market and he was gearing up to sell himself on that basis to the voters but now we are probably entering the worst recession in the history of the United States like a woman could easily exceed 20 or even 25 percent of the time it peaks later this summer and it looks like output of the economy is going to fall one more than it has sensed the Great Depression in 1933. There as an economy has sustained its biggest hit since the block started compiling statistics and 995. 00 foot in the 19 countries that use the euro shrank by 3. 8 percent between january and march on employment and timoney the e.

The u. N. Chief has spoken of his irritation of what he says is a lack of World Leadership during the pandemic and 10 year terrorists is nowhere near enough is being done to help developing countries and his calls for global ceasefire are mostly big not as a diplomatic editor james pace. Speaking to reporters by video link the frustration of the u. N. Secretary general was clear its well over a month since he demanded a global cease fire but the fact the u. N. Security council has been unable to pass a resolution was the result of what he called a dysfunctional relationship between the major powers and that makes it difficult for the Security Council to decide as it makes it difficult in many other areas for International Cooperation to work secretarygeneral given the scale of the pandemic do you believe that Global Leadership has been adequate. It is obvious that there is a lack of leadership it is all is obvious the International Community is divided in a moment where it would be more important than ever to be united there is indeed a problem of leadership or if you want a disconnect between leadership and poll we see remarkable examples of leadership but they are usually not associated bollard and when we see power we sometimes do not see the necessary to the ship i hope this will be overcome sooner rather than later as a Security Council session this week a very public demonstration of the disagreements among the worlds Top Countries as the un syrias special envoy spoke during the Virtual Event one of the ambassadors had not me to this microphone in ukraine my counsel.
