Trump says he won't extend distancing guidelines as death toll passes 60,000
Donald Trump has said the federal government will not be extending its coronavirus social distancing guidelines once they expire on Thursday, even as the number of Americans who have died of coronavirus surpassed 60,000.
The country has recorded 60,207 deaths from coronavirus, and 1,030,487 cases of the virus have been confirmed in the US according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University. The US accounts for around one-third of all confirmed cases worldwide.
The US has now lost more people to coronavirus than the Vietnam war. Over the country’s nearly two decades of involvement in Vietnam, 58,220 Americans were killed.
Trump claims China will 'do anything' to stop his re-election as coronavirus row escalates
Donald Trump has claimed that China’s handling of the coronavirus is proof that Beijing “will do anything they can” to make him lose his re-election bid in November.
In an interview with Reuters, the US president said he was looking at different options in terms of consequences for Beijing over the virus. “I can do a lot,” he said, without going into detail.

WhatsApp: Israeli firm 'deeply involved' in hacking our users
WhatsApp has alleged in new court filings that an Israeli spyware company used US-based servers and was “deeply involved” in carrying out mobile phone hacks of 1,400 WhatsApp users, including senior government officials, journalists, and human rights activists.
For years, NSO Group has said that its spyware is purchased by government clients for the purpose of tracking down terrorists and other criminals and that it had no independent knowledge of how those clients – which in the past have reportedly included Saudi Arabia and Mexico – use its hacking software.

Kim health rumours spotlight succession in secretive North Korea
Seoul, South Korea – North Korean leader Kim Jong Un was last pictured centre stage at a key political meeting on April 11, but has been out of the country’s state media ever since. Now, after failing to appear at one of the secretive nation’s most important annual events, there is mounting speculation about his health.
Kim is thought to be 36 years of age, but obesity and a weakness for cigarettes mean he has long been the subject of rumours about poor health - from fractured ankles to gout and even heart complications.

A Tripoli, de violentes manifestations dans un contexte politique explosif

Quartier de Ghouraba, à Tripoli, dans le nord du Liban.
Tous les ingrédients sont réunis pour que la rue explose : la dévaluation officieuse mais galopante (le dollar s’échange à 4 000 livres libanaises, contre 1 500 selon le taux officiel) ; l’inflation (le prix du lait pour bébé a triplé) ; l’activité économique, déjà sinistrée, à l’arrêt pour cause de crise sanitaire ; les restrictions bancaires draconiennes et sans base légale.

Voulant trop en faire, la Chine a brouillé le message.

Coronavirus: Mexican factories risk workers' lives
A number of Mexican firms producing goods for the US market are ignoring coronavirus lockdown rules. This puts their workforces in grave danger of contracting COVID-19.
Laborers at factories in Tijuana manufacturing for Hyundai, Roger's, Carso, Safran, Hisense and Ontex have all staged protests in recent days, according to journalist Alfredo Alvarez.
This refusal to heed the lockdown has had the gravest consequences, with 20 workers reported to have died from the coronavirus — 13 of them in a factory producing car parts for Lear Corporation in the city of Ciudad Juarez.

Over 3.8 Million Americans Filed for Jobless Benefits Last Week as States Struggle With Coronavirus Claims Surge
Archaic technology hamstrings systems for processing benefits; ‘not really acceptable now’
By Sarah Chaney and Kate King
Connecticut was more than halfway through a multiyear modernization of its unemployment insurance system in mid-March when the coronavirus pandemic triggered a surge in claims and the state website that accepts applications froze. Labor department personnel worked all night trying to figure out what had gone wrong and realized the website could only handle up to 8,300 applications in a single day, a fraction of what residents were now trying to submit.

By Karen Langley
The Nasdaq Composite stock index is on the cusp of recouping all its losses for the year. The index, which is powered by big tech companies such as Microsoft Corp., Apple Inc., Amazon.com Inc., Alphabet Inc. and Facebook Inc., was off as much as 24% year to date in late March during the coronavirus-driven market rout. It has rebounded sharply since then, cutting its losses for 2020 to just 0.6%.

Russia’s Aging Infrastructure Threatens Oil Output Pact
The country faces considerable obstacles to cutting production, such as low-yielding fields that are expensive to maintain and restart
By Georgi Kantchev
Russia’s adherence to a hard-fought oil production deal with Saudi Arabia and the U.S. could be imperiled by its aging industrial infrastructure and the unique challenges of winding down a broad network of wells across its vast landmass. Moscow, Riyadh and Washington agreed in early April to lead a multinational coalition that aims to cut 13% of global oil production through the end of June. The curbs are meant to address a sharp drop in demand caused by global travel restrictions and business shutdowns to prevent the...

The San Francisco company said its daily user base rose 9% to 166 million in the three months ended March 31 from the quarter earlier. Analysts polled by FactSet had expected the user count to rise to 163 million.
Small Oil Drillers Are Turning Off Taps More Quickly Than Anticipated
From Texas and Wyoming to North Dakota, smaller companies are concluding it is better to keep oil in the ground after prices crashed
By Collin Eaton
Small U.S. oil companies are shutting off wells faster than expected, as prices fall below what it costs them to pump the crude out of the ground. The collapse that sent U.S. benchmark prices into negative territory last week persuaded many smaller-scale, privately held drillers to shut many of their wells until the economy revs up again and demand bounces back. These drillers—in places like West Texas, New Mexico, North Dakota, Wyoming and Louisiana—collectively account for about a quarter of American production.

El representante permanente de Siria ante las Naciones Unidas, Bashar Jaafari, reiteró la necesidad de que el Consejo de Seguridad de la ONU trabaje para obligar a los países que apoyan el terrorismo en Siria a desistir de eso y apoyar los esfuerzos del Estado sirio en la lucha contra el terrorismo.
Durante una sesión del Consejo de Seguridad, vía online, sobre la situación en Siria, Jaafari denunció que el régimen turco persiste en la violación de sus obligaciones establecidas en los entendimientos de Sochi, Astana y Moscú, y sigue reforzando su presencia militar ilegal en el territorio sirio a través de la introducción casi a diario de convoyes cargados con armas y equipos bélicos pesados para apoyar a las organizaciones terroristas.

Bolsonaro ahora acusó a la OMS de "incentivar la masturbación" en niños
En otro de sus intentos por desacreditar a las instituciones que recomiendan priorizar el combate contra el coronavirus, el presidente de Brasil, Jair Bolsonaro, acusó a la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) de dar “directrices” para que niños practiquen la “masturbación” e incentivarlos a que tengan su “primera experiencia sexual entre los 9 y 12 años”.
Como no podía ser de otra manera, la insólita denuncia incluyó el sello homofóbico del mandatario. Según Bolsonaro, la OMS recomendó a los niños que tengan “relaciones entre personas del mismo sexo”.

Desde Rio de Janeiro.En la mañana de ayer el ultraderechista presidente Jair Bolsonaro sufrió una nueva derrota en el Supremo Tribunal Federal, cuando el magistrado Alexandre de Moraes determinó que el nombramiento de Alexandre Ramagem para el puesto de director general de la Policía Federal fuese anulado.
Ha sido la respuesta de la corte suprema a la primera de una serie (más de una docena) de pedidos para que el nombramiento de Ramagem fuese tornado sin efecto. La razón: la Policía Federal deberá investigar a los tres hijos de Bolsonaro que actúan en la política, y Ramagem es íntimo amigo de la familia presidencial.

Coronavirus: La pandemia y el sistema-mundo
La humanidad está viviendo --con miedo, sufrimiento y perplejidad-- una experiencia inaugural. Verificando concretamente que aquella teoría del «fin de la historia» es una falacia… Descubriendo que la historia es, en realidad, impredecible. Nos hallamos ante una situación enigmática. Sin precedentes1. Nadie sabe interpretar y clarificar este extraño momento de tanta opacidad, cuando nuestras sociedades siguen temblando sobre sus bases como frente a un cataclismo cósmico. Y no existen señales que nos ayuden a orientarnos… Un mundo se derrumba. Cuando todo termine la vida ya no será igual.
Lo que parecía distópico y propio de dictaduras de ciencia ficción se ha vuelto "normal". Se multa a la gente por salir de su casa a estirar las piernas, o por pasear su perro. Aceptamos que nuestro móvil nos vigile y nos denuncie a las autoridades. Y se está proponiendo que quien salga a la calle sin su teléfono sea sancionado y castigado con prisión.
