. >> kimberly, you saw the tweets, liberate minnesota, liberate michigan. what do you make of those? >> well, look, i think on the surface, it shows the president instinct which he wants the country to be reopened as quickly as possible. and he -- that's what led to that initial declaration that was not just against conservative orthodoxy as mckay says. the tenth amendment. that he's in total control and his authority is absolute. but he wants to have the authority to order or at least pressure these governors to move to reopen the country and that was part of it. of course, the tweets come at a time where they were protesting some of the protesters displaying really awful signs and really encouraging the worst among the public. the vast majority of the public is important to say seems to be behind these restrictions and they want to get past this as best as they can. staying home it is part of that. there's broad support for that. >> elizabeth, monday trump said that multiple provisions in the constitution give him thoft. we know that isn't true. what powe

jonathan karl, kimberly atkins, dr. kavita patel, our thanks. one more item before we go to a break tonight. a bipartisan investigation from the senate intel committee has confirmed that january 2017 assessment that russia, in fact, interfered in our 2016 election. the committee found the initial intelligence assessment was accurate, thorough, unaffected by political bias. just in case after all those pages of witness testimony and reports and hearings and indictments and convictions there was any remaining doubt. >>> okay. coming up, we've asked jonathan karl to stick around. we'll talk about what's in his book about this president. >>> and later, a foreign correspondent, the type who doesn't scare easily, goes to the front lines of america's coronavirus crisis. what she finds and will show us is stunning as "the 11th hour" is just getting started on a tuesday night. there's tv. and then there's x1, featuring the emmy award-winning voice remote. access to your favorite apps, including netflix, prime video, youtube and hulu. all without changing

world health organization can distract from mike hanna al-jazeera washington right now let's go live to kimberly howkins she's in washington d.c. so what's the bottom line will the u.s. count funding for the w.h.o. or not there's a bit of a constitutional argument going on right. right while it's unclear under the constitution what mechanism the u.s. president intends to use to try and either delay or cut off these payments given the fact that these are co-equal branches of government the white house and congress and congress typically is the one that controls the purse strings now the u.s. president believes that he can reduce funding something he actually did already in his upcoming fiscal budget cutting it by about half the amount of money the u.s. he was hoping to give to the world health organization something that already congress was raising concern about so again it's a little bit unclear how the president plans to do this as he conducts his review but already the decision is being criticized not only by the u.n. secretary general which issued a statement of course but also one of the ot

and kimberly. defending and the organizations position in the wake of the criticism from donald trump. yeah well not mentioning donald trump by name he certainly was sending the message to donald trump accusing him of politicizing the in essence said the finger pointing that was done just a day earlier you have to remember that donald trump not only called the u.n. body or agency a china centric body but also questioned the growing influence that it had. this is certainly an attempt to kind of tamp down some of the criticisms of course donald trump has a very loud and vocal platform right now and he is deflecting blame that he himself may have been slow to respond to the threat of krona virus inside the united states but donald trump's criticisms are really an echoing of not only what we've heard from a growing number of republican lawmakers but also a growing number of government officials global health experts analysts who are sort of questioning not only the world health organizations acceptance

economy and the figures coming out of that country with our white house correspondent kimberly have kimberly's we can see you know the impact has been will be devastating across the world the u.s. obviously the world's biggest a colony tell us more about the prospects there for the rest of the year and beyond . it's pretty grim in terms of prospects you have to remember each sort of economic indicator that comes out seems to spell more and more trouble for the world's largest economy the fact that this quarter is bad really just gives us a snapshot of things to come because this entire quarter was not involved in stay at home orders or operational shutdown of most businesses but the next quarter will reflect that and that's what most are worried about is it's estimated that the contraction could be even far greater maybe $56.00 times that which would equate to something not seen since the great depression and you have to remember again this indicator and we're expecting the next day that we could have further files of unemployment to hike that number up beyond the mid 20th terms of those unemp

well let's cross to the white house now speak to a correspondent there kimberly how can he joins us on the phone from washington d.c. phone from his obviously are going to be happy about this news and what reaction can we expect from the white house and that press conference that they usually hold in an hour or so. yeah the white house has been quiet we expect that there will be some comment from the u.s. president when he takes the podium in the brady briefing room in the next hour i can tell you that the u.s. president up till today had earned praise from even some of his critics for pushing russia and saudi arabia to end their market standoff but the problem with that deal that the president had been touting is such a success is that the cuts in production were scheduled to take effect until next month and as a result producers were facing increasingly as we know this issue of storage now at near limits and we understand by next month to be at full capacity now there had been some reporting here in washington that the trumpet ministration was considering paying or oil companies not

abc's kimberly brooks reports. >> reporter: this morning florida is the latest state announcing plans to gradually re-open. >> i deliberately erred on the side of taking measured steps, kind of even a baby step, to return to not normal where we were but to start us on the road to a brighter day. >> reporter: beginning monday restaurants and retail stores will be allowed to re-open but only at 25% capacity, and they'll have to maintain social distancing. but the re-opening plans exclude three hard hit counties in south florida including miami-dade. nationwide 11 states have already lifted restrictions with seven more to follow by the end of this week. amid these difficult decisions, the economic tension is getting thick. >> i can guarantee to continue a five-figure loss every month. >> reporter: this morning the labor department is expected to report that another 3.5 million americans filed for unemployment benefits last week bringing the total to more than 30 million people since the pandemic began. in the states that remain closed, many business owners say they're fed up. >> i'm not

kimberly these quarter one g.d.p. figures today suggest that the slowdown was beginning before the lockdown began. yeah you know there's no question that there is a suggestion of that but well there were stay at home or is going into effect at the tail end of that quarter what we know is that the next quarter is going to be particularly dismal so this is kind of a snapshot the numbers that we have right now for the projection of things to come because that's when we will see the full brunt of a quarter where there have been almost across the board some impact on every single industry in the united states as a result of operational shutdowns people staying at home and also just simply the poll back in consumer spending which is particularly hard hitting given the fact that this is a mostly service based economy so well this administer a sion has been optimistic saying this is only a short term pain things will bounce back in the summer many business analysts here in the united states are not looking so rosy in terms of

governor who wants to ease restrictions in his state let's go live to our white house correspondent kimberly how close in washington the president can be uncharacteristically quiet so far today on twitter apart from one tweet again bashing the media for its coverage of the gummed government's handling of the pandemic and retreating inaccurate claims again about testing there in the u.s. . yeah the u.s. president has been pushing back with regard to testing and some of the criticism that in fact the u.s. might be lagging in contrast to other countries in fact this was the focus of an oval office exchange between the us president and one of the pool reporters when the president was pressed to for why he continues to claim that the united states exceeded south korea for example in testing the president pushed back and turned dr debra burke's one of the public health officials present there in the oval office looked up the numbers and according to her dad the united states in fact per capita per $100000.00 actually does kentucky conduct more tests in south korea it's a leaven test 410-0000 in th

so kimberly what are we to read into the president's comments considering that warning from the w.h.o. . yeah the u.s. president continues to project optimism as there is reason for optimism but it's caution optimism and that was very clearly made in the points from the public health officials both dr anthony and dr deborah burke's as they spoke there in that white house task force briefing just a few moments ago the u.s. president though it has been the cheerleader among that group for some time he is very eager to see americans getting back to work right now we have guidelines in place for staying at home until at least april 30th but the question became in that briefing would he listen to public health officials on may 1st and he insists that he would but at the same time in that very same briefing he said we have to get back so there's no question that this is a president that is eager to get back we have to remember he's running for reelection in november the economy was the biggest strength that he had in terms of trying to win reelection but it is important to note that there w

kimberly hackett at the white house well meanwhile businesses such as james hair salons and bowling alleys have reopened their doors in the u.s. state of georgia the number of deaths and confirmed cases of the virus are still growing in the state president trial has criticized them but the states and the countries south and midwest are also planning to ease restrictions on the caliber of reports. but the 313 store in marietta the doors are open for the 1st time in weeks following controversial guidance from the state's governor non-essential businesses have been given the green light to get back to some kind of normal despite the continued threat of the coronavirus the owners here are taking employees back on a voluntary basis and making sure health checks are in place using the stickers that were using yes on 3rd street basically they're pushing me here and letting all of our service workers know that they're having no problems and i'm sure any type of the. hard part because that is a certain restrictions have been lifted on businesses like barbers gyms and tattoo parlors despite data fro

joining us southeastern health care reporter for "business insider" kimberly leonard. good to have you this morning. president trump keeping his focus on the economy. how is this going to impact states which are continuing to press for the federal government for help? >> well, ultimately it's going to be up to governors whether to reopen their states. a lot of them are the ones who are telling states they need to, you know, stay at home, tellings the residents that they need to shut down certain businesses and so ultimately they will be the ones to decide. >> you have a new piece out about the economic impact, kimberly, on the frontline health care workers. what challenges are facing doctors and nurses and other health care responders across the country? >> well, doctors, nurses and other health care workers are probably the last that you would expect to suffer from the economic crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic, but, in fact, we found the opposite. because so many states are asking doctors and nurses and hospitals to stop procedures that are not emergency proc

reporting live from washington many thanks indeed kimberly. we'll get a weather update next here on al-jazeera then is the world one step closer to a coronavirus vaccine will take a look at the global developments as china moves to human trials. adjusting to a new reality south korea prepares for elections amid the pandemic. however the last couple of days to say some rather lively weather into central and southern parts of the arabian peninsula still see this large band of cloud which stretches across yemen saudi arabia. into iran and it's down so was yemen where we've seen some very heavy rain recently we've had some flooding here in the capital in sana'a and it has caused a major disruption as one would expect the wet weather is set to continue across southern there was a saudi arabia through us here in kata we saw a couple of millimeters of rain yesterday i think tomorrow going on into wednesday we will see more in the way of some very heavy showers with some thunder rumbling away and that will stretch his way into that western side of ira

let's bring in our white house correspondent kelly halakhah 1st on these numbers kimberly so even though the jobless came claims have declined over the last 3 weeks they're still at record highs. yeah record highs and expected to keep climbing because the reason that we don't believe we're at the peak in terms of filings yet is that this is just an older system throughout the united states that was never set up for this abundance of claims to be filed so we expect the numbers are going to continue to climb for at least a few more weeks you know the projections of gone as high as 46000000 in terms of the number of americans that lost their job overnight now this we've seen this sort of manifest in a number of ways we've seen very long lines at food banks we've seen people wondering how they're going to pay their bills of course they some americans did get checks in part of $1.00 of those rescue packages from the u.s. congress but many americans a single individuals got just $1200.00 and the cost of rent plus you know just a week's worth of groceries could easily go far beyond that so many

has bring in our white house correspondent kimberly how come for more on mike compiles comments as well as of course those tweets from the u.s. president from threats to to hit iranian boats to punish iran for launching a satellite sounds like we're heading for another major deterioration well there's no question that this is an escalation and the department of defense has also been briefing in the last hour the deputy secretary of defense david norquist telling reporters that the u.s. has the right to self-defense that iran needs to be careful of its interactions because if the united states sees a hostile act it has the right to respond including with lethal force the certainly would act of the statements by the u.s. president on twitter earlier where he vowed to shoot down and destroy an iranian gunboats if they herat harass u.s. ships at sea as these statements have been echoed by a strong statement in the last hour coming from the u.s. secretary of state mike pompei o a designated terrorist organization launched a missile today. and leave to the part of defense to talk about the de

well our white house correspondent kimberly hell could is monitoring reaction for us out of washington life after we speak to me in tehran so zain this is clearly very significant and very symbolic but this is the real deal this is not north korea testing something this has been a success it would seem. that's correct this is a very significant military development as far as the iranian military is concerned and it has been a long time coming since the beginning of this century of the 21st century iran has been working on trying to develop rocket technology as well as satellite technology to be able to launch this kind of military satellite into earth's orbit and this morning iranians as well 'd as the rest of the world woke up to what was essentially the announcement of a successful 'd secret military operation from the central desert in this country. of the rocket launch happened earlier this morning and now we can say for certain that 'd the newer satellite is 425 kilometers above us orbiting earth rocker's thermosphere and the military has said here the iranian military has said th

him no matter what is happening but of course the president's biggest calling her much like of what kimberly halkett said has been his handling of the economy and now that we see the virus basically taking away the president's biggest selling point heading into reelection this could be cause for worry for the president as well as his re-election team right and we were talking with kimberly to. member of the current of ours task force throwing in the heads and talking about the glimmer of light the light at the end of the tunnel when at some point america will return back to normal and schools will start to reopen he did talk about the full of the autumn quite a long way ahead but nevertheless he was doing that and he was doing it on fox news sure and of course a weird beginning to see what appears to be some level of daylight and new york which is now the epicenter of this virus outbreak and and the united states they are now seeing the number of new cases at least diminish but that still does not take away from the fact that there are a number of other hotspots growing across the country an

in new york let's bring in our white house correspondent kimberly hellcat at home in washington is it even in the president's power to cut funding for the world health organization. yeah that's exactly what many in washington are trying to figure out because it is typically congress that controls the purse strings not the white house now we should point out that the white house has in the last hour sent out a statement defending the president's america 1st approach just suspending the payments to the world health organization pending a review of the world health organization the us president quoted statement saying that here he will never hesitate to take any necessary steps to protect the lives health and safety of the american people the statement goes on to accuse the world health organization of promoting chinese government claims in january that there was no human to human transmission of corona virus the statement also says that that was in contrast to claims by doctors and province that said there was human to human transmission so the white house calling for structural reforms

halkett so kimberly we are expecting to hear from the president soon isha what do we know about the white house guidelines. well as you've reported some of those details are already leaking out about what the u.s. president is expected to announce at his chrono fires taskforce a briefing in the hour in about an hour from now is when it's scheduled to start and what we're hearing is that these will be guidelines for reopening the country beginning on may 1st that essentially be done in 3 different phases that the phase where people will be allowed to perhaps reopen businesses like movie theaters and restaurants that sort of thing will only occur in areas where there have been low infection rates and high levels of testing and this is consistent with what public health officials said along that there would not be the ability to open the u.s. economy all at once as donald trump had at times been suggesting but instead it would happen to have to happen in phases given the fact that some areas are being harder hit than others now the other thing we know about this is that the u.s. presid

live from washington kimberly many things. the un's top human rights representative to me are stepping down after spending the past 6 years raising the alarm on atrocities committed against minority muslims and have final report she said the military's actions bore the hallmarks of genocide or accuse the civilian government of doing nothing to change things florence louis reports. the human rights envoy to myanmar made her pronouncement visit to myanmar in january 2017 she seen here in rakhine state in august of that year security forces attacked the mainly muslim rohingya minority there and the myanmar government has not allowed to visit since military commanders said the crackdown was in response to attacks on security posts at bahrain get fighters nearly 3 quarters of a 1000000 escaped over the border to bomb british many reported rape torture and abuse by soldiers and protest the gambia accused me of genocide against their will and launched a case at the international court of justice last november. tonight the charges and

how could reporting live from washington kimberly many thanks indeed let's compare the world health organization's response to that of the u.s. government on december 31st china notified the w.h.o. of a new type of pneumonia the agency created a crisis group 2 days later china notified the u.s. of the outbreak on january 8th by january 14th w.h.o. said that the virus was spreading human to human the next week it was the 1st u.s. case in washington state trump said at the time that the situation was under control. by the end of january the w.h.o. declared a public health emergency in the us and sort of a task force the warnings that millions could die trump then placed restrictions on travelers from china the w.h.o. worried that this would only increase fear and stigma in the weeks that followed trump said repeatedly and falsely that warmer weather would kill the virus by mid march the w.h.o. declared a pandemic eric hamm as a political analyst he joins us now live from washington d.c. eric where do you stand on this controversy does the president have the right to do to threaten to

the oval office instead i was there as white house correspondent kelly how could live in washington kimberly many thanks indeed let's we'll show you some live pictures out of madrid right now this is spain's prime minister that are sanchez who is presenting his plan for restrictions in the country to be eased further he's speaking right now as you can see and says the plan to return to normal life includes 4 phases but he's hoping things will return to some sense of normality by the end of june restaurants he says can open at 30 percent capacity with sent 16 times for people over the age of 65 we'll keep listening to that address by private ascensions and bring you any further details that come out of it now some a goal has the highest rates of recovery for infected patients anywhere in africa and trials have begun on a coronavirus testing kit which costs a dollar and gives results in 10 minutes i was here as nicholas hawk reports from bucko. senegal is doing what most countries count testing everyone symptoms are not entering a health center for the novel coronavirus it has no shortage of t

for us and kimberly 1st of all tell us about these figures of staggering numbers in just a matter of weeks millions of jobs have just vanished. just overnight nic and what so as an incredible about this and job dropping is these numbers that we have just for this week alone are hitting the record books but you add that to the records that were struck last week and you have over 10000000 americans that have filed for unemployment claims but the number of unemployed is actually much higher because what we're hearing is that many americans could not get online could not get through on the telephone to file their claims in fact we've heard that the numbers could be in the 10s of millions by the time all of these claims are filed list of course is why the u.s. congress put in place this rescue package late last week in order to try and health ordinary americans particularly the low wage earners who are being hit hard by this but those checks have not yet arrived in the mail they have yet to be cashed so people are really struggling and on top of that you have to also acknowledge that many

and kimberly 17000000 people out of work is just staggering isn't it. it's staggering and in terms of recorded numbers it may not even be hitting the halfway point the number expected once all american workers who lost their jobs over the night as a result of coronavirus are actually filed could be in the neighborhood of about 46000000 americans and the reason those numbers are expected to continue to climb higher is the fact that there are an inability by many americans to actually file the claims the states are overwhelmed and behind when it comes to processing unemployment insurance claims so again that number expected to spike higher and it's hitting across all sectors retail office workers factories even the health care sectors where right now there's a pivot towards prioritizing front of virus cases that means if you have a specialty in another area even dental for example you're not working and we should also point out when it comes to these jobless claims many americans depend on their jobs for health insurance it's a system that's based on the

how kitson kimberly the president donald trump well he's been speaking in his daily briefing today have to say. yeah there's no question that the president was eager to talk to reporters in fact there wasn't a briefing planned for today but then he abruptly called when it seemed the message he was trying to get out was to push back against democrat concern and criticism in the united states that the u.s. president had been too slow to react and then the reactions had not been appropriate when it comes to combating coronavirus that the u.s. president said that this is becoming a partisan issue in the united states excuse democrats of treating his response much like the russia witchhunt that he called it also saying at 1st they focused on a lack of ventilators and when his government stepped up that's when they focused to testing and the u.s. president says that his response will speak for itself in terms of the numbers he says at one time there was a projection of as high as 2000000 deaths he says when this is sort of settles down in terms of that mortality rate he expects the figure to

congress that decides how american money is spent not the president a white house correspondent kimberly live in washington many thanks indeed to complete 20 of the world's largest. economies agreed to put the debts of the globe's poorest countries on hold the chain 20 nations have agreed to freeze the debt payments for a hear of a private lenders to do the same for more let's join our series alan fishes live for us in virginia tell us more about this debt relief allan about something that the i.m.f. has been pushing the thinking behind it is really quite simple the thing that rather than have countries the 25 poorest countries at the moment who are indebted to to many other nations and to people like the i.m.f. they need their day essentially suspended so that they can know what to about how they're going to find the money to pay their debtors but in fact can try and transfer that money into fighting the corporate crisis as well there's a 2nd reason for doing it to obviously the economies in all these countries 160 countries are impacted by this according to the i.m.f. then they can tak

president donald trump made the 1st of his covert 19 outbreak declarations a white house correspondent kimberly how he is live from washington d.c. i guess this must be the last thing the administration wants to hear. yeah it's the last thing that it wants to hear and it's really causing concern for this administration because of course up until the krona virus outbreak in the united states the u.s. president was enjoying you know historically low unemployment and this was something that he expected to propel him to reelection come november the challenges now for the president is that all of those job gains have been wiped out not just the ones from his presidency but all the way back to the last recession here in the united states of a decade ago so the united states president has a challenge on his hands he knows that he needs to listen to the guidelines of public health officials still he's pressing for the economy to be reopened but sammy even the 1st phase of reopening that might allow for some opening of sort of nonessential businesses that could take place with social distancing it's sti

abc's kimberly brooks has the details. >> reporter: new york is no doubt the epicenter of covid-19 in the u.s. but as each day passes, a new reality, more hot spots >> what changes the curve is a new detroit, a new chicago, a new new orleans, a new colorado. we're watching very carefully, because we see that you can go from this to this very quickly. >> reporter: why the spikes? it comes down to who was still moving around in recent days. this "new york times" map shows the country color coded by who was allowed to travel just last week. those gray areas are places where stay-at-home orders were already in place. but those areas of red? business as usual. from state officials late to restrict travel. georgia finally issued its stay-at-home order wednesday. the governor making this shocking statement yesterday. >> what we've been telling people from directives from the cdc for weeks now, that if you start feeling bad, stay home. those individuals could have been infecting people before they ever felt bad. well, we didn't know that until the last 24 hours. >> reporter: but the cdc warne

helka joins us live from washington kimberly hi there good afternoon good morning your time so this money if it happens is it new money or is it money that's already been announced money that we knew about. this is new money this is there had initially been a $350000000000.00 package that ran out last thursday and there had been an effort to top the money up with another $250000000000.00 the vote failed a couple of weeks ago so this money ran out but it is still needed and there are a lot of small business owners who have been promised money and are still waiting for it and haven't gotten it it doesn't appear that the white house request for this money will be approved that it could be voted on even as early in the senate as today we're still 100 percent sure about that but this is not the only clash that the white house has going on not just its request with the u.s. congress but also there's an ongoing clash with this white house namely the u.s. president and the nation's governors at 1st it was over the lack of ventilators that it was over testing and now it appears it is over th

and now let's cross to our white house correspondent kimberly halkett kimberly the white house of course will be watching all of this very closely one more can you tell us about any reaction that we might have had. yeah the white house has not officially reacted to this news it has been breaking rather dramatically though here in the us in the last hour or so but i can tell you that this is not the news that the president wants to hear because the president even some of his critics were touting what they believe was his success just a week or so ago in sort of scoring this deal if you will to try and tamp down this oversupply in the markets there was that conference call between the u.s. president the russian leader or the saudi crown prince where they thought that they had been able to cut production rather significantly and deal with this oversupply the u.s. president for his part had at one point even looked at this as an issue of national security for the united states so the feeling was that everything was going well this was enough to calm the markets this was going to help the ene

hall who was at that white house briefing that the president was speaking at kimberly this was a very long greeting i think i lost about 2 hours and it covered a whole range of subjects what do they talk about. yeah well in addition to some of the highlights there the u.s. president talking about a new program he hopes will least alleviate some of the suffering when it comes to those high unemployment numbers that were released today the u.s. president announcing the paycheck protection act what this is is a plan that consists of about 350000000000 in small business loans that will allow small businesses to retain employees even though they may not be working right now and even though the small business may not be taking in any income u.s. president also talking about some of the supply shortages that exist in the united states particularly when it comes to personal protective equipment or p.p.s. saying that they have now a limited a lot of the shortage just pushing the mask and other protective clothing to the states that need the most but they did acknowledge that there is still a p

freedoms if new infections a kept to a minimum when i stop by there live to our white house correspondent kimberly help get the committee those confirmed infections passing a 1000000 put that figure into context for us. yeah i think it's always important when you're talking about infections in the united states remember the population in the united states is very large that's not under play a 1000000 infections that certainly number that nobody wants but when you're talking about a population of upwards of 330000000 in the united states and starts to give it a little bit of context now some are celebrating the fact that the infections are only 1000000 given the fact it was predicted to be even higher but of course there's been street social distancing in the united states for some time and so there is this conversation now even as this number begins to climb about really opening the states and that is something that the u.s. president talked about as he met with florida's governor rhonda sanchez in the oval office earlier again another state that is very populated that many predicted would have ve

kimberly-clark we talked about this key question facing customers right now. we heard reed hastings and netflix talk about it last night as how temporary this bump-up in sales for those companies like kimberly are benefiting. he said demand is slow do you think a bit, not clear because of lack of supply on the shelves or people change beg haifing ber he said destocking will be lumpy. in order, not everyone hoarded a smaller percentage of people have hoarded the toilet paper and tissue supply. i asked if there was a shortage? hsu says no. he says we have ample supply buff it will take a few months to manage through it nobody prepares for a 30% surge in a single category but that's what they saw in things like toilet paper in the last three months of the quarter. he said consumer habits are going to be forever changed. personal hygiene and protection will play a bigger role, wilf, something we've been talking a lot about how the world is going to look post covid-19. he also said this is only happening in the developed world. in the u.s., europe, australia, new z

government had to taken some measures sooner on this that's close to our white house correspondent kimberly health in washington. how much is position at risk. well the latest statement coming from the deputy white house press secretary hogan gidley says that in fact the u.s. president has no intention of firing dr anthony found she he says this media chatter is ridiculous president trump is not foreign doctors he is a trusted adviser to the president but i can tell you the speculation over whether or not dr who might be removed from the krona virus taskforce has been ongoing in the last 24 hours after that tweet you mentioned where the u.s. president retreated with retreated with the hash tag fire and of course this stems from the u.s. president's concern with the comments made by dr foushee that if there had been social distancing measures sooner in the united states that in fact lives may have been saved now the u.s. president has been under criticism for some time about his response what he knew when whether or not he should have put these social distancing guidelines in sooner and this

kimberly we did here's some ambitious numbers being thrown around today by the president when it comes to testing how realistic is all of that. but we'll certainly this is an aspirational goal but one that is necessary if the u.s. president is to reopen the economy as he's hoping will happen now what this was was a couple of things in terms of this rose garden press conference not only was it an opportunity for u.s. president to announce a blueprint or guidance for the states to reopen their economies using expanded testing in utilizing their capacity but it was also an opportunity for the u.s. president to grab hold of the narrative that has really spiraled out of control for him in the last couple of days you mentioned at the start of the segment that disasters public relations briefing that happened late last week when the u.s. president suggested injecting disinfectant or even shining u.v. light might be a way to eradicate cope with 19 in the human body will since then the president was not really heard from him and he has been criticized repeatedly for those comments so this was a

>> that's a good response, thank you, kimberly. we're thinking about george, ali, our former colleague chris cuomo throughout all this. >>> when we come back, the celebrity stay-at-home message that you don't want to miss. >> "the skinny" is next. at you don't want to miss. >> "the skinny" is next. that you don't want to miss. >> "the skinny" is next. ♪ skinny just gimme the skinny >>> time now for "the skinny" starting with more messaging from celebrities about social distancing. >> we've been hearing from quite a few so far, from danny devito to arnold schwarzenegger to larry david. even "the situation," remember him? >> all of them. >> apparently some people still aren't listening. last night our friend jimmy kimmel pulled out the big gun, samuel l. jackson, y'all. >> if you want things to get back to normal, don't panic. just use your dome. wash your hands. stop touching your face. and stay the [ bleep ] at home. >> whoa, this one ain't for the kids. that's jackson appearing from his own home theater reading from a children's

writes kimberly thank you very much for that update from the white house on the chinese city of will hon where the pandemic began the government has now revised the number of deaths by 50 percent that's an addition of nearly 1300 victims who a provincial official said the number of deaths had been changed because of late reports from medical institutions and the fact that some patients had died at home the announcement has led to further questions from world leaders who accuse china of not being accurate about the scale of the outbreak. well the coronavirus pandemic has brought decades of extraordinary economic growth in china its warhawk its its gross domestic product shrank in the 1st quarter of this year for the 1st time since records began it comes as the government admitted more people died in the epicenter of the virus than originally thought katrina you has this report from beijing. the coronavirus pandemic has strained health systems around the world and now it's caused the uninterrupted growth of the world's 2nd largest economy to falter for the 1st time in decades for the 1

kimberly held at the wall china's government is warning people in the city a woman to stay indoors amid concerns over a surgeon's of infections comes in a new law that was imposed in a county in neighboring province and in hong kong the government has reimposed some restrictions following a surge in cases there too the city has banned all tourist arrivals and transits through the airport last week as it ramps the pervert's to contain the outbreak sarah clarke is monitoring events for us from hong kong sara i mean there was always a concern about the chinese giving hand and it's areas that it may be all clear to soon and that really seems to be the case. it is in a loop the key concern is that this new battleground being the importation of the cases back in to the city which was the epicenter of the crowd a virus outbreak the residents being told to strengthen their efforts and to only go outside if vital or necessary and now we've had this lockdown been lifted as of last weekend it's partially been lifted people can enter the city train bus or car but they can't leave just yet the full

kimberly this 6650000 filing for benefits i mean that's huge but not entirely unexpected. not entirely unexpected and do the math with me if you remember last week we're talking about 3300000 so in the span of 2 weeks we have more than 10000000 americans filing for claims and we should point out these are just the people that were able to either leave their homes to get to one of these offices or that they were able to call in or do it online but what we're hearing is that this has been a system under strain many people were able to get through to file their claims so the numbers could actually be far higher so what we've got in the united states is we went from historically low unemployment to now these new record highs and what we're hearing is that taking across all sectors of society particularly the low wage inner earners who are now counting on those stimulus checks from the government that have not yet arrived but also acknowledging that that may not be enough because you have to remember. many of these sectors are not coming back many people don't want to take a cr

on the fly. >> kimberly, what could go wrong? >> well, listen, another point aside from all of the points that bob just made is the point that it's an election year and what this pandemic has done has taken donald trump off of the campaign trail. so in addition to speaking for more than an hour every day in a way that he used to speak at his rallies during these white house press briefings, he's looking to claim credit any place that he can and that's seemingly what this is about. the president as you correctly noted has nothing to do with the disbursement of funds from the u.s. treasury. he never had. he can't sign the checks. it's his name being printed on them that has absolutely no value added to the check except for the political value it gives the president right now -- it dpooifgs him something to brag about, as he assigns mrams to other things. as you noted at the beginning of the show. so this is very political. recall in the past when stimulus checks went out during the bush administration, the white house sought to put

that is the negative oil prices there let's cross to our white house correspondent kimberly halkett the news conference is still going on kimberly we are expecting the president to think questions in a while who will be dipping back into that but he did actually start the news briefing by addressing the issue of oil prices what did he say. yeah he touched on that very briefly all he said really was that he found the drop in oil prices which of course is historic in terms of the low he called it interesting i think people would have other adjectives to describe it other than interesting he then went on to essentially issue his prescription for the ailment that he believes is occurring right now and that is that he says the united states will fill its national petroleum reserves they will essentially top it out so what they're going to do is buy $75000000.00 barrels he said they'll be getting it at a good price and that's an understatement given the fact that we know in some cases that it is below 0 in terms of the cost in negative territory at least up in canada so he's certainly going t

and kimberly in just a matter of weeks 17000000 people out of work and it's probably more. yeah you're absolutely right nothing like this seen in modern history and it is expected to be more because here's the reality the state unemployment offices are overwhelmed they cannot keep up with the processing of claims so we've had 3 consecutive weeks now as you point out 17000000 in the united states filing for unemployment but the number is expected to continue to climb for many weeks in fact it's projected to be more in the neighborhood of around 46000000 americans who overnight as a result of this shutdown and social distancing lost their jobs and we're seeing this all across every economic sector whether it's factories whether it's office workers even the health care sector because there's been a pivoting of priority in terms of dealing with coated 19 patients and that means that other people who have specialties in other areas may it be dental elective surgery all of that has been canceled so they found themselves out of work and they've also in many cases found themselves

and bring in our white house correspondent kimberly health it so much is going on a cross the u.s. kimberly let's just begin really with the way that the white house and the president has been reacting really to a string of tweets and annoyance really with the media and with the way they are being interpreted in the white house. yeah there's no question that the u.s. president spent much of the weekend venting his frustrations at the us media and its coverage of some of his press briefings and he has manifested that in another tweet again today the one of the monday tweets from the president fake news enemy of the people he's really pushing back on that public relations fiasco that we saw last thursday when the president suggested that injecting disinfected or even shining u.v. light inside the human body could potentially get rid of covert 19 well as a result of that there was a lot of soul searching and the white house decided perhaps to cut back on the briefings we were told there would be no coronavirus task force briefing at $21.00 g.m.t. today we'd just be seeing the presiden

madrid with the latest numbers in spain dominic cain is standing by in berlin white house correspondent kimberly how could will analyze some of the mixed messages coming out of washington 1st though let's go to worry chalons who is outside the london hospital where prime minister. and is under observation so worried what do we know about how the prime minister is doing. well we've heard from a couple of different sources in the last few hours one boris johnson himself with a couple of tweets and also from his spokesman. over the tweet boris johnson put out now he said and i think you might be able to see this on your screen as well that last night on the advice of my doctor i went to the hospital routine tests as i'm sitting experiencing coronavirus symptoms are in good spirits and keeping in touch with my team as we work together to fight this virus and keep anyone safe and then he went on to praise the n.h.s. doctors and nurses who were looking after him and also everyone else in the country that has been afflicted with covert 19 the statements or the briefing that his spokesperson get gave we

president eager to point the fingers as the spotlight remains on him understood kimberly good to talk to as a thank you so much. well the pandemic threatens to leave millions more americans going hungry as companies lay off workers but food is going to waste at the same time particle hain explains why. it's happening across the country rivers of milk dumped down drains and ponds millions of leaders wasted by farmers who say they can't sell it the reason about half of their customers are closed restaurants bars school cafeterias all shuttered but at the same time store shelves are mostly empty there's very little milk to be found and those that can find some are being limited to how much they can buy wisconsin dairy farmer marty hallock says the problem is that milk packets for restaurants is not the same as the kind they can sell in stores. plants were sent out to our bottle now in certain containers so i.e. the schools where it's marketeers you know a lot of people will buy them small containers and store a minute and then to be honest with the. issue from storage and trucking and no
