Has this report. Outside the hospital in nanga how the grief is palpable and so is the anger over the seemingly endless violence and loss. And i think you are fathers of although i know. My brother is michael was standing next to me when i heard the bomb blast i saw several dead bodies on the ground and i was trying to call my brother but his fine was off after a few minutes of searching i found my brother among the dead. It was this attack on crowds of mourners at a funeral by a suspected suicide bomber and another on a Maternity Hospital that pushed afghanistans president to go on the offensive order.

The taliban denies involvement in the latest attacks its largely refrained from targeting afghan city since february when the group signed a landmark withdrawal deal with the United States it was meant to pave the way for talks with the kabul government the taliban now says its the government creating obstacles to pace the flow. Through the space agreement it shows again that the taliban cannot deliver on their promise and and so i would say that today programme marks a milestone towards this integration of this agreement unless trustee measures are taken immediately by all sides and specifically by the taliban under the agreement the taliban promised not to target forces from the u. S. Coalition in return for their withdrawal from afghanistan however the deal didnt include afghan troops and the taliban stepped up attacks against them the taliban was also supposed to prevent afghan soil from being used for attacks by other armed groups like isis and its affiliates well as any state so is less of an issue there probably was 4 to 6 months ago or even read unless both suffered some battlefield. They need patience and the americans and knowledge that. Danes supportive of attacks against. The military pressure on Islamic State and chorus and province that was part of the agreement with the United States. But the group has proven it can still launch attacks on soft targets i still says its fighters were behind 4 bomb blasts in kabul on monday which wounded 4 people was the un has expressed shock and revulsion at the attack on a Maternity Hospital which saw nurses mothers and newborn babies killed. U. S. Secretary of state is urging the Afghan Government and the taliban to cooperate to bring the perpetrators to justice and Brian Al Jazeera 2 cities in china as Northeastern Province are warning of a major new outbreak 6 new cases have been reported in the provincial capital and the vice mayor says theres a huge risk it could spread further a cluster of more than 20 infections have been discovered fueling fears of a 2nd wave of outbreaks in china lets go straightaway to katrina you who joins us live from beijing. City now facing a partial lockdown. Thats right it went into lockdown this morning and wednesday morning public transport has been closed and gatherings have been banned and that was since 7 cases were identified in julian city this week and it follows another cluster being identified in the Satellite City of sure lon where 14 cases who have been identified so thats a total of 21. 00 cases in that area since the end of may now all of these cases have been traced back to a 45 year old woman but Authorities Say its still a mystery as to how she caught kovan 1000 because she has no travel history and no contact with imported cases but there are there is some speculation that this cluster had been going growing unnoticed for some time they had been smaller than 70 days that officials said that there were no local transmissions and now they say that theyre being extra cautious by imposing these lockdowns they are still also downplaying any fears of a 2nd wave of infections saying that the basically just trying to make sure this is contained but it is not a good look especially ahead of the National Peoples congress which is the biggest political event of the year which is already postponed from march when it was originally supposed to be held and thats due to take place in beijing next week or so it should focus on which of course was the original epicenter of the verses the huge program of testing beginning there. Thats right so in. 6 people have been identified as having new cases these are all local transmissions and this is the biggest cluster thats been identified in the last few weeks and as a result the Authorities Say that they want to test the entire population of 200. 00 and that is 11000000. 00 people so far we are have any details as to how exactly they plan to do this they have said that they would like this done within a period of 10 days which means about 1000000. 00 people would be tested per day but it seems that implementation if it does happen will be quite patchy some districts said that theyve got until next tuesday to submit a plan for this some districts have gone ahead and started testing already from this morning people in would have received Text Messages saying that they need to go to the nearest clinics to schedule a test which will then come the results will then follow one week after that test so so far we nor that there hasnt been of funding planned for this analysts say that this if universal testing does happen and it could cost up to 200 54000000. 00 because it would involve also the building up of more infrastructure as of the end of april 100. 00 city had about 260. 00 different testing sides but the capacity was only 46000 per day so that will really need to really boost the number of Health Workers there also the number of places that they can conduct this testing and this cluster i think they are particularly afraid because this was the 1st cluster that was identified in the last 35 days so authorities there i think theyre under a lot of pressure not to under react as they did at the beginning of this pandemic so they rather go for force and try to test as many people as possible to prevent this cluster getting out of control again in one. Thats a bit to enjoy in a true youd be doing for explorer. To the United Kingdom where thousands of people heading back to work for the 1st time in more than 7 weeks part of a plan to really relax restrictions which have been in place since late march people are now allowed to spend as much time as they want outdoor rules as long as they follow social distancing rules and those measures although those measures have been rejected by scotland wales and Northern Ireland whose leaders say it is too early to relax restrictions lets cross to join ali joins us live now from london standing outside Victoria Station there in the heart of london general looking pretty quiet actually. Yeah not much of a rush to work here nic more of a very slow trickle it feels sort of like a weekend day at christmas time albeit busier than the streets have been in the last 7 weeks there are certainly more people on the buses and there are actually people coming slowly in and out of Victoria Station on their way to work as part of a very phase slow and gradual phased return to normality these of course the 1st steps the government urging people who cant work at home but who can go to safe workplaces to do so were talking about sectors like construction manufacturing people are being urged to exercise common sense to avoid public transport where possible to walk to cycle or use cars to get to work if they possibly can and employers have been given guidance about how to make their workplaces coded safe to provide for social distancing frequent cleaning of the workplace staggered work times and so on but clearly and i can emphasize it enough it is a very slow start you can also go out and spend more time in the parks as of today exercise more regularly you can meet up with one other person from another household socially distance of course you can play a game of golf or a game of tennis you can go to a Garden Center you can even go house hunting but this is a long long way from the economy properly starting up again i was going to say a very slow start said clearly the economy is going to need a lot more than people just going back to work because it is it is taking the absolutely devastating hit like everywhere else in the world. The year with the 1st official figures are out indicating the direction of g. D. P. This year and the 1st quarter sees a drop of 2 percent now in ordinary times that would be a very painful contraction indeed its pulled down largely by the stall in Economic Activity from around the middle of march when the lockdown came in march alone saw a drop of 5. 8 percent that thats the biggest single month fall in more than 20 years but all of that is as nothing compared to the bank of englands for cost of a total 25 percent g. D. P. Drop in the 2nd quarter that were in now which of course indicates that essentially britain is already in recession the bank of england forecasting an overall 2020 drop of 14 percent that is absolutely enormous this is designed to mitigate all of that damage the economy this slow phased return to normal life and out of lockdown it depends on the falling infection rate the government has warned that if the infection rate doesnt fall the lockdown will snap straight back into place that is going to hell in a quiet london journal thank you very much indeed.

Exactly how will donald trump come down on this the Coalition Deal signed between gansa netanyahu specifies that onix ation can proceed with the coordination i approve all of the United States and on the proviso that it doesnt breach peace agreements with other neighboring countries and so there are 2 schools of thought one is that donald trump needs this to rally his evangelical christian base another achievement in their eyes in terms of u. S. Israeli policy the other school of thought is that it would be damaging to another very important interest the alliance of countries that the United States has been trying to build up arab countries in this region and that this could set those plans so people will be watching the language and his meetings today to see if they can discern which way the u.
