View north koreas state t. V. Shows video of its leader after weeks of speculation about his health. And a weapon against a pandemic or a reason to fear feel pretty white technology being used to track cases is causing worries about the future. And its for the u. S. Womens soccer team is found to fight son and their battle to equal pay a judge has rejected the world cup winners claim that theyre being unfairly treated by their own federation. So there is facing criticism of the Police Detained hundreds of refugees and Migrant Workers in kuala lumpur the raids were carried out on homes across the capital on friday tensions have been high after some malaysians blamed foreigners for a surge in coronavirus cases last month and for being a burden on much needed resources but elsewhere that continues to be progress in the fight against the virus the United States has improved an experimental antiviral drug for emergency use on patients a major study has shown that the drug does appear shortened the Recovery Time and may have reduced deaths meanwhile in spain more than a month under. Lockdown people are being allowed to exercise and overruns outside well have more on the relaxing of restrictions there in a minute about 1st forms larry on the round up in millys. Hundreds of migrants and refugees including children rounded up in a raid in kuala lumpur on friday theyre being held in detention facilities migrant rights group. Has criticized the raid as inhumane and counterproductive arguing it wont deter migrant and refugee communities from getting tested at a time when the world is still struggling to contain the pandemic but the government is defending it as part of efforts to contain the coronavirus state this week there are still on documented migrants their status remains the same the laws of this country havent changed these people broke the law or when they entered the country illegally in recent weeks foreigners have been the target of hate speech with some malaysians blaming them for spreading the coronavirus hostility towards the rangar and undocumented migrants appear to have been set off by several events this suburb outside kuala lumpur home to a large population. Was placed under lockdown more than a week ago to cope transmission of cases there are social media posts telling the room theyre not wanted here there were at least 5 online petitions some of which have since been taken down urging the government to expel the refugees from malaysia malaysians have also directed their anger at the ethnic minority after Rights Groups criticised the government for turning away a boatload of refugees last month. For nor john been to much and her family these are worrying times they escaped from scituate in brookline state in myanmar in 2012 after intercommunal riots between buddhists and muslims killed 200 people and displaced more than 100000 others. Life here hasnt been easy malaysia has not formally recognised refugees they cant work legally or go to school she says shes heard rumors about the malaysian government wanting to send the route back it is there it made me think back to our journey here we were at sea then human traffickers picked us up and they kept my husband for months because we couldnt pay it was only after 8 months here when we were finally registered with the un as refugees that i felt safe what if we have to go through that again. The coronavirus and malaysias curbs on movement has already put north johns family in dire financial straits now the fear of being detained hangs over that florence italy out jazeera quality report. Well its himself from Phil Robertson whos the deputy asia director at Human Rights Watch and he says that malaysian authorities are risking the health of the people that theyve arrested. The authorities are claiming that these people are undocumented that they dont have the right to be in malaysia. The problem is of course that by hurting them into unsanitary Immigration Detention Centers its a great way to ensure they all end up with a covert 19 from a Public Health perspective this is probably the most stupid thing that the government of malaysia could do what theyve done is send a signal to Migrant Workers and others you know which number in the millions and malaysia that if you see from someone coming from the ministry of health run the other way and what were going to see is a lack of cooperation from the migrant communities for any efforts by the government to try to can control coven 1000 because they correctly fear they will be arrested and hauled off into camps where they may spend months in even years before theyre allowed to go home theres very little recourse for those who have been taken right now i think that theyre going to basically stay in these Immigration Detention Centers where we have seen outbreaks of Infectious Disease in the past and deaths of migrants from things that were certainly preventable. So to that experimental antiviral drug which has been approved for emergency use treating coronavirus patients in the United States 1500000. 00 of the drug gram does if it will be distributed to hospitals from monday after a study showed improvements in Recovery Time thats enough from particle high. This is a president that throughout has tried to project a feeling of hope as the coronavirus rips through the world and his country is now bringing in the c. E. O. Of a Pharmaceutical Company to the white house to herald the results of a possible treatment for him to severe really people that are not doing well people that are sick people that have his horrible play that set in to our country and that were getting rid of and were going to be were going to be having some really incredible results we have. Very promising studies coming out on the vaccines we have promising studies coming out on therapeutics. In the 1st widespread trial the drug it did shorten the length of the hospitalizations days for the virus and its slightly decreased the mortality rate but Scientists Say its the 1st real hope that a drug can work against the virus we have to remember this is the very 1st one its a new drug being used for this and yet showed i would call it a bright spot in the search just what 90 days after being notified of this of a drug it looks like its got very promising results and the company that makes it says it will donate its stockpile which the food and Drug Administration cleared for use on friday will be working with the government to determine how best to distribute that over the United States will be working very closely to get that to patients working with female working with other parts of the government to make sure that we get fed to the patients in need as quickly as possible because there are patients out there that can benefit from this medicine today that are hospitalized and we dont want any time to waste for that the white house trying to project a sense of hope of a near return to normal for the country but as some states begin to reopen like georgia for bodie numbers an additional 1000. 00 cases diagnosed in a single day and experts say it will take as many as 2 weeks to determine the true cost as cities and towns begin to reopen pedicle hain aljazeera chris smith is a consultant for only just an editor of the naked selling his podcast and he explains now how the drug. This is an antiviral drug it was developed during the a boner period about 5 or 6 years ago and unfortunately for gilliatt who invented it it didnt work very well against a boa but what does look more promising is its action against this new coronavirus the way it works is that the drug molecule looks like one of the Building Blocks of the Genetic Information of the virus so when you take the drug it goes into the cells and gets activated in the cell and then when the virus is trying to grow in one of your cells it mistakes this drug molecule for one of the normal genetic letters that it would be inserting into its genome that its copying to make new baby viruses and when the drug molecule goes into the d. N. A. Or r. N. A. Of a growing virus it distorts it and disrupts it and stops it growing so as a result you end up with a virus with a broken genome and so its a bit like a computer with the operating system corrupted it wont boot up so the virus is you make a completely defunct and when given 2 cells in a dish which are infected with the virus it slows down the growth of the virus when given to patients with the virus it makes them recover a bit quicker and it also slightly improves the mortality rate when you give it to people who are severely on whether by slightly i mean in people who were not given the drug the mortality rates about 11 percent and in people who work in the drug it was about 8 percent. Well troels a set to begin in the u. K. To see if blood plasma from the recovered coronavirus patients can be used to treat others with covert 19 lets explore this more we can go to across one who is in london. Across the world an enormous focus is taking place on finding solutions and now we have these plasma trails beginning in the United Kingdom. Yeah thats absolutely right and st thomas his hospital behind me is playing a pivotal role in britains battle against corona virus is of course where the Prime Minister was treated and now is one of several hospitals across the United Kingdom trialing whether or not the blood plasma of people who have had the corona virus recovered can be used to treat people with the virus the science is Pretty Simple if you have how the virus you develop immunity which means you build empty bodies those antibodies can be found in the liquid form of the blood the plasma which can then be injected into people with the virus to kick start their immune system thats theoretically or doctors are hoping to see very soon but it is to some extent slow progress clearly because they need to find people who have had the virus recovered and have built often not enough antibodies for their classmate to be useful that period roughly takes around among say the doctors there are 1500. 00 hospitals in the United States that are carrying out similar trials and there are other similar schemes taking place in other parts of europe as well the hope here in the u. K. That by the end of may there will be able to roughly around 10000 units of useful blood plasma a week ready to help cure those people who are suffering from the virus theyre hoping to see some positive results pretty soon and the government yesterday announcing that its met its testing target of 100000 this day and is now planning to ramp up isnt it its testing Contact Tracing efforts with the latest on that. Yeah its very much a phased approach by the British Government they set the target of 100000. 00 tests a day in the beginning of april they announced on friday that theyd smash that target with a figure of around 122000 but some doctors some experts have sounded the alarm accusing the government of inflating these figures saying that roughly a 3rd of that number were test simply posted through peoples letter boxes of boxes or sent directly to care homes or what the scientists the doctors really want is a comprehensive way of doing this so combining tests with also tracing and tracking which is informing the government next step which is to try and recruit around 818000 officials some of them Health Workers to identify clusters identify people that may be at risk to tell people risk of spreading the virus to quarantine for a period of 2 weeks to make sure that the transmission of the virus within the population is kept to an absolute minimum when the government starts to see a steady decline in infection rates and most certainly a decline in the death toll then they may start we visiting the idea of easing restrictions but the government right now does not want to put a foot wrong the death toll is rising its approaching. Death toll its really the worst affected country in europe there are fears that the u. K. Could soon overtake italy we wont know until thursday when the government is legally bound to revisit the restrictions how and when it might try to do that have been some ideas booted including possibly making face masks compulsory although that seems to be more confidence Building Measure rather than for Health Grounds but in terms of a time frame that seems to be some way off or in a thanks very much so theres a picture in london the. For the most ahead on the news hour including life on the lockdown in libya we look at the impact its having on african migrants. We meet some of the indonesian delivery drivers putting themselves at risk in the hope of a better future. For coming up as well italys a top football clubs look to be on a collision course with their own government and they will tell us all on that story. Right spain plans to launch a 17000000000. 00 Reconstruction Fund to deal with the economic damage caused by the pandemic the country is one of the hardest hit in the world but its seen the number of infections and deaths decrease and that is why its begun to ease restrictions in phases after 7 weeks of Strict Lockdown theres a lets hear. Their 1st taste of freedom in 49. 00 days thats 1176 hours of lockdown spent mostly indoors. Ive been up since 5 30 am waiting for it to be sick so i could go out runners cyclists rollerbladers taking to the footpaths across spain which for weeks had been off limits except for those out to buy food and medicine. I was rollerblading with open arms through the streets because they went to me cause it was a feeling of freedom. Going for a walk and playing sport have been bent to stop the corona virus spreading in spain which is one of the worst affected countries in europe theyve been more than 25000 deaths and 216000 cases but the outbreak here is finally past its peak that its very great to go out to run today and im think im like. You know i get with everybody out like this im very happy about it and i think that people are quite respectful and. I think theyre very happy. Last weekend children under 14 were allowed out for an hour a day of supervised activity now adults and Senior Citizens can also go out and say print times in a bid to reduce overcrowding. Though it didnt work everywhere with thousands out along. Even when im in there for me personally its incredible that i can finally go out after so long it just seems a bit strange to me that there are these time ships because in the end there are so many people out at the same time in the same place beaches though remain closed and crowds exercised under the watchful eyes of police. Prime minister Pedro Sanchez tweeted that allowing outdoor exercise was a new step and measures to ease the confinement but called for people to be responsible because the virus is still here the World Health Organization says countries should lift their lock downs gradually and be ready to restore restrictions if infections rise there are tough days still ahead for spain the lockdown has hammered its already faltering economy and unemployment is expected to soar. On this saturday though people enjoyed the Simple Pleasures of being outdoors on a sunny spring day. And lets go live to marty whos standing by for us in madrid in a martyr while all this is been going on the Prime Ministers been speaking what he had to say well in 1st place of Prime Minister that his sons have was very pleased he had the chance to give this small relief to all the spaniards allowing them to go out for one hour walk for one hour of exercise all ages wear out today in the streets and in 2nd place he announced a 16000000000 euros fund for recovery for all the regions he also said that from monday. Face and face mass will be mandatory the use of a face mask will be mandatory in the public transport now we are in face you know when were doing it starting these deescalation plan you know last week were preparing to go to phase one towards the new normal or and so what follows on after that after phase one theres this kind of modulated deescalation isnt. Well the next area is facing a phase one it would start in may the 11th where it was small then businesses will reopen to the limit of 30 percent of their capacity and bars and restaurants with terrorists will be able to open to 30 percent of the capacity to we will phase then 15 days later if everything is a cave monitoring the number of infections and the state of ohio where the Health Care System 15 days later later we will go to face to where bars restaurants theaters will be open to 50 percent of the capacity and 15 days later we will go to face 3 well all big smalls meal big big most put open at the 50 percent of the capacity all these has to be done under the umbrella of the state of of a marriage and see look down this is state of emergency made to see has been extended from 15 days to 15 days through the Spanish Congress with the voting of all the Political Parties but whats the challenge that heather sunset is facing next week he will percent the next lock down stage extension but hes facing plenty of problems as many critics say has. Prompted huge criticism among other Political Parties saying they wont support him any more with any other lockdown extension because theyre not happy of how hes managing this crisis that small to spain begins easier. Freezes thanks very much motor seeable will start easing restrictions in 10 days after being on the report known for 2 months so let the businesses will st
