Well there in the w. H. O. Is again sounding the alarm of the situation in brazil as you were saying in your introduction is the 2nd country in the world with the highest number of cases and its now on track to become also the 2nd country in the world with the highest number of deaths there expected today on friday to pass the u. K. In that grim category there is a Silver Lining though the choice also saying that so far the National Health service in brazil as managed to cope with the situation under the increasing pressure however there are parts of the country where the intensive care units are in a critical situation a critical state with more than 90 percent of the beds fool so the situation is very worrisome weve seen big crowds though going out especially in hotspots of coronavirus. Crisis like in big cities like in Rio De Janeiro and sao paulo very dense cities but people are starting to go out to malls that have been reopened this is of course of great concern there is also concern about the fact that the president here both are narrow continues to dismiss the effects of all this in his country and he called on his supporters to go inside hospitals and feel and show what the situation truly is saying that its not true that some of these intensive care units are in crisis in that instead this is all a boy to try and get him out of office this iteration in brazil is also quite critical because besides of beyond this pandemic theres also an increasing Political Division that is truly. Putting out a risk that will crack to extend beyond the country and one side of the opposition is calling on an impeachment against the wall so not always being investigated for corruption the same is true for some of his sons but at the same time its allies in the score big base of supporters are now calling for a military intervention to keep him in power so a very very tense situation in brazil a lot of different elements and its of every complicated time for the yes sounds like it ok i was under a pity thank you for that update from bogota was the u. K. Government eases coronavirus restrictions its watching the countries our rates thats a measure of how contagious the disease is its hoping to keep that figure below one so that would mean each person is infecting less than one other person on average a week ago that figure was below around 0 point 7. 00 across the u. K. But the latest data for englands are rate suggests it could be as high as one our rate is at its highest in the country southwests where it could be hovering just over one. Most brits understand that weve sacrificed a lot weve stayed at home weve been fighting this virus getting the on number below one what we dont want to do is you know end up sort of essentially re importing it either by people coming here or brits going abroad and coming back so i think the idea of a korean team is the right thing to be doing and i know that it has broad public support meanwhile the ukase economy shrank by nearly a quarter over march and april as the coronavirus lockdown hammered businesses the u. K. Has been warned it could be heading for its deepest recession in 300 years despite the easing of containment measures most shops in england will reopen next week and Prime Minister Boris Johnson insists the economy will bounce back while the economys 25 percent plunge in the period over march and april is by far the steepest and sharpest on record it takes the countrys g. D. P. Back to 2002 levels in comparison the worst of the Global Financial crisis that was in 2008 was nowhere near a sharp dip of just 6. 8 percent but that recession lasted for 5 years laura sleep is in london and says there are Big Questions over how the country will reopen. Well the r h 3 production rates might not be going up in the u. K. But the real issue is that its not going down the epidemic isnt slowing and its not going away and thats not just a concern for Public Health its also an enormous concern for the economy figures that came out on friday suggest in the 1st quarter of this year the u. K. G. D. P. The total amount of money created by the country fell by 20 percent thats the equivalent of 20 years of Economic Growth wiped out in the single go in the country whose economy now depends very greatly on the Service Industry things like restaurants and bars the idea that people are still going to have to stay too far away from each other that the r. H. Isnt going down is going to prevent them from reopening and just as European Countries are now preparing for the summer the u. K. Cannot do that at the moment in the same way at the same time very Large Companies there is a lot manufacturing the sorts of things that really underwrites the economy of the country then they are starting to lay off thousands and thousands of people with all sorts of rumors of even greater job losses coming over the coming weeks and unions of warned us that the social effects of mass unemployment in this country could be every bit as great as those of the virus and so the problem with our rate not going down is it affects the economy very greatly so what does all of this mean for the least well off in one of europes wealthiest nations i speak to dave enniss head of economics at the Joseph Roundtree foundation hes joining us from leeds out and in Northern England thanks for your time with us on the news hour on aljazeera so the governments clearly saying that the economy is taking a heads with dire warnings of a recession but lets look at this on an individual level and what does a 20 percent g. D. P. Drop mean for those who are already caught up in poverty. You know youre right its a 20 percent drop in g. D. P. From month to month theres something we havent seen before and while the size of that change is shocking its very not that surprising given that weve shut down big sectors of our economy to help with the Health Crisis over the last few months but what that feels like really depends where you sit in the economy and we know that its many of those who are already at risk of poverty have been pulled into poverty before coronavirus that have suffered one of the economic fallout from kimono virus well and for the u. K. Prime minister Boris Johnson insisting that the economy is going to indeed bounce back whats your reaction to that and how long do you think it will take for an economy to bounce back. Well we really dont know at the moment weve never been through this sort of selfinduced recession as weve got at the moment because it really was a really necessary response to the Health Crisis and we just dont know what happened after after this kind of recession but whats really important is that the sectors of the economy that will be longest to open up sectors like Restaurants Hotels nonfood retail are the sectors of the economy where people in work in poverty in britain rely on from. People who were already at the biggest risk of poverty before coronavirus and how and how is it that the government can actually support people out of this what what sort of tools do they have at their disposal that they can use. And the government has taken bold measures that are far weve see an unprecedented scheme where the government has paid wages of staff which means that in temper only laid off and that has protected big number of people from. Consequences that could have been really really severe so if there is those poll measures have done a job so far that some people have formed through the cracks but theres a big risk that its large number of people could fall through the cracks even further could be dragged into poverty in the next stage is that support is withdrawn too soon before those sectors are able to get back up and running for that and even as i mean if anything this pandemic has really exposed inequalities in particular when it comes to Health Inequalities with specific areas being hit hardest like in the northeast of england for example so is there an opportunity here for the u. K. To do things differently Going Forward in what needs to be done i dont know absolutely that is the way to do things differently Going Forward and we know that our society was not in a good enough place before covert 19 we had 14000000 people in poverty including 3 in 10 children and we absolutely have to be looking now at how we reshape our economy Going Forward so that it reduces poverty enough as more people across our country whos out of poverty and secure learnings in why and how we create opportunities all across our country so right david us we thank you very much for speaking to us on the news hour. More have coming up on aljazeera including outbreak in the amazon how coronavirus is ripping through brazils indigenous communities. A bomb goes off during friday prayers in kabul with peace talks just weeks away. And support for formula one races are called off because a corner virus leave will be here well tell you which one. But 1st libyas National Oil Company says its lost more than 5000000000. 00 since january because of the ongoing fighting it was forced to put exports on hold at its largest field this week after it was shut down by an armed group once again battles between the un backed government and fighters loyal to warlords or inching closer to the valuable oil matic traina reports from miserables. In a major setback for warlord Khalifa Haftar forces loyal to the internationally recognized government in tripoli are now advancing into the city of sirte on libyas Central Coast after a string of victories in the west. Syria is located near libyas most important asset its Oil Producing region in the east which is under hussars control. Libya which has africas richest proven crude reserves and relies on oil exports were nearly all its state revenue plunged into violence with the toppling of longtime leader while mortgage death the in 2011. The countrys oil fields pipelines and terminals have frequently been damaged in fighting and putting libya on the path to economic recovery means preserving Libyan Oil Facilities and strong access to the National Oil Corporation have to or is backed by the u. A. E. Egypt and russia among others more than a year after he launched his Unsuccessful Campaign to take control of tripoli from the internationally recognized government his backers are now seeking to keep half their involved through diplomacy but now embolden with turkish support and gaining territory rapidly Government Forces and Officials Say they will not negotiate with have to nor accept the ceasefire. We will enter a shot this isnt the battle for cities like. It is a fight for libya for freedom and democracy we will continue east until we liberate all of libya from the war criminal. European leaders have called for a cease fire with the german ambassador visit in half there in Eastern Libya on wednesday and then tripoli the day after which time i leave it there. Unfortunately the International Community stood by while have to resort to tripoli and killed civilians the feeling among libyans is they no longer trust the International Community countries who recognize the g. N. A. T. But support have to like egypt cant be trusted. The u. N. Support mission in libya has said that the d. N. A.

City of seattle thats completely free of Police President donald trump isnt happy unless threatened to send in the troops how to call him the latest. For weeks the streets of seattle were consumed by chaos day after day of protesters facing projectiles and heavily armed police the police said they were also attacked. The Seattle Mariners a temporary ban on tear down the police used it anyway and then they seemed to give up walking away from this Police Precinct the citys police chief said it wasnt her decision you fought for days to protect i asked you just stand on that line day and day out to help it with project to be screamed at threatened and in some cases hurt then to have a change of course nearly 2 weeks and it seems like an insult to you and our community after they left the protesters claim 6 city blocks as their own calling at the capitol hill autonomous zone or traffic is not an aggressive or violent end at them like we did we didnt come out here for any of that just with those black lives killed by the police we want people to see that those lives matter it reportedly has the feel of a festival the protesters have planted gardens given out free food hosted long conversations about race relations.
