After more than a year and a half of inconclusive elections diplomatic deal making and political paralysis a new Israeli Government has been sworn in long time Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and this political vibe. Benny gantz agreed to share power spend 18 months being in charge her force that reports from western. Even after 3 inconclusive elections and being charged in 3 Corruption Cases Benjamin Netanyahu has shown once again that hes going nowhere we thought we would with our house of great responsibility binny gains and i decided to form a unity government and avoid a further really how far i have to look at the division and distrust remain evident in this unity deal now you know who in his former rival benny gantz have written into it all kinds of guards against betrayal sworn in similar taney asli as Prime Minister and alternate netanyahu to go 1st then dance after 18 months an unprecedented 36 ministries shared equally. We decided to take National Responsibility especially at this time israel needs a National Government that represents broad sections of the country after more than 10 years the era of government by one half of the nation is over we are here to represent those who felt they had no voice in leading this country. But gans also predicted bitter arguments to come one big difference their position on an exciting 30 percent of the occupied west bank under the terms of the trump peace plan dances calling for a delay in consultation netanyahu is doubling down. On it it is time to apply israeli law and rise a glorious chapter in the history of zionism this state doesnt delay peace it brings it closer because peace must be based on the truth and the truth is that there are hundreds of thousands of settlers in judo and sumeria under the Coalition Deal netanyahu can bring an extension for a vote any time after july the 1st veto power of the terms of the deal say that annexation has to be carried out in coordination with the us and must not threaten any Regional Peace treaties and now the u.

If there is no precedent for Something Like the new one is a law in the democratic world so there and the government is huge and compass. So it seems very very optimistic to say that Something Like that can will but. I believe that it was a must for both our its because of their. On the debt and the. Result of the 3 consecutive election campaigns and they had to do Something Like that they couldnt done much better than this is now what was born today and as a result of the main thing is who is seeing it is government is not a making a huge mistakes like an accession of the west bank and even if it is very difficult for. Either of them to initiate some new idea it would be not so difficult for them for both of them to prevent the other side wrongly doing something which is it totally against their views and afghanistans Political Uncertainty has come to an end with president bush afghani signing a power sharing agreement with his rival ashraf ghani and his main challenger have to lobdell had been locked in a stalemate over last years disputed election Abdullah Abdullah will now lead the council for peace talks and bamboos of his team will form part of the cabinet. To the corona virus pandemic which continues its relentless spread particularly through that america and brazil the regions worst affected country protesters have been heading back out defying lockdown orders to demand an easing of restrictions officials ever courted more than 15000. 00 deaths more than the rest of latin america combined 230000. 00 people a known to be infected but nimitz on testing a likely hiding the true much larger figure president diab also now though is still downplaying the risks and pushing hard to reopen the economy well and shell be one of the regions other major pandemic hotspots surging infection numbers a fuming fair and racism particularly against haitians the largest Migrant Community and latin america ever having seen human reports from santiago but not on the whole them see dead is Large Properties subdivided into small quarters where one or more families live cramped together often sharing a bathroom with up to a dozen other families theyre the only option for many haitian migrants in chile like the johnson affair and you can see the kitchen doesnt work the bathroom too but its difficult for us to run to here and hi to my children each have their own room i would never bring them here.

Even before the cameras arrived the neighbors began throwing rocks and hurling insults at the haitians because a few of them had been confirmed to be carrying coronavirus now they tell us that they feel even more discriminated and vulnerable than ever.

With very precarious Living Conditions its even more difficult for them to survive in a pandemic they charged rents which many cant afford the virus doesnt discriminate but we do. The governor of santiagos metropolitan region agrees that many migrants are living in inhumane conditions. But when we asked why authorities havent stopped landlords from renting unsanitary and overcrowded living quarters he blamed the matters on which. The truth is that authorities have constantly turned a blind eye to a sanitary and human rights dilemma that is punishing those who came here for a better life as never before you see in human aljazeera sentimental. As i mentioned brazils president has repeatedly downplayed the risks of covert 19 and hes pushing to reopen the economy many people including Health Workers feel theyre being left on their own to battle the pandemic Praeger Gupta has more on that.

Its being fast tracked 12 months to be finished next up and so some are 2021 middle of the year now its a big part of think of the governments ambitions approach the u. K. Right at the forefront of the global drive to create research and develop a vaccine for corona virus the main problem at the moment is that as we know there isnt a vaccine so. Its something that. These places like the specs and sent around and other places around the world are going to be working hard but Boris Johnson is has pledged to get to get this sort of thing done but hes also acknowledged in an article he writes in the mail on sunday the british newspaper today that such a thing may not actually happen we may never actually get to a vaccine so a bit of tempering of expectations. Former us president barack. Obama has again criticized his successes handling of the pandemic a recent Conference Call leaked in which obama described the governments response as a chaotic disaster and then on saturday while not mentioning donald trump by name he told High School Graduates during a speech that they should seize the initiative with current leaders have fumbled more than anything this pandemic is fully finally torn back the curtain on the idea that so many of the folks in charge know what theyre doing a lot of them are even pretending to be insured the worlds going to get better its going to be up to you.

Bashar al assads cousin her business tycoon has refused to step down as head of the largest mobile operation in the country and a 16 minute video posted online says the collapse of syria tel would be a catastrophic setback for the economy he says hes under pressure at the head of a profits from his telecommunications empire or face a wrist this is the 3rd such video has posted in recent weeks. I wont step down if i resign i would be fabian the company and the country at the height of the war i did not abandon my country my president obama folks to do it now. While the 50 year old billionaire is considered the wealthiest and one of the most powerful men in syria before the war began in early 2011 he controlled 60 percent of the economy this allowed him to build an independent power breaks apart from syria tell me his Business Empire ranges from real estate to construction and oil trading hes been on the u. S. And e. U. Sanctions since 2008 for what washington calls public corruption or just sort of is a swiss syrian academic at the European University institute in florence he joins us now live from geneva thank you for your time how significant is this rift between bashar assad and his cousin. Good evening thank you for you and if they should know the rift to has been ongoing doll for nearly a year its actually in the summer of 2019 the 1st measures taken against him in a cruel and some of these key institutions such as syria and the stench at the foundation. But it became much clearer in the past few weeks theres a clear sense it from the assets inner circle if you want the president ial palace represented at the head by the shirt but with also his could he still say his brother matt had said and his wife thats meant a set it is a clear offensive against cruel and his economic power but not only his networks that he was able to build through this economic empire which say at every present the ground go with its main it going to make sense its the most probably the Largest Private Company in syria with more than 6500 employees it has 11000000 subscribers it has assets of more than 250000000. 00 u. S. Dollars and its market share is nearly 71 percent so theres a clear open separate assets president ial palace if you want against the truth in a in in a framework of reducing it going to make source of rense. Difficult more competition but its also linked to the to cutting any kind of better Knowledge Networks that i mean what groups has in the in the country sort ending the forms that dont apply to me you used to have in the country so i drill down on that a little bit more i mean is this a sort of reordering of things for Bashar Al Assad of all how he plans to roll it wants to roll syria going forward. Its definitely a deep concentration of power within a set of hands and within the us at the time of the directly its not anymore like prior to the war to the uprising in 2011 basically said mcclure. Ruling together its only the president ial palace and this is these are the results of the bodies that lucians during the war but more especially in the grueling economy. Rule that has been playing my head that there is brigades of Armed Division that has taken an increasing economic role. During these past few years where the entrained and the smuggling and therefore they want to control what was traditionally the traditional real. Rule within. Serious ruling struck that economy so its definitely a way to concentrate even more power in the president ial palace. This oughtnt this represents so so that say the palace side of things what about the cash side of things i mean so many years of war is Bashar Al Assad cash strapped is that part of the. I mean definitely accumulating funds for the sets that many of us that president ial palace and the state is an important at an important issue but i would like to remember that this is not a complaint against corruption whether or not in in the objective of accumulating more funds for the state this regime has been ruled by a near family that owns the state there have been you rising businessmen that completely at the did with their regime and to which a pretty representing a big fish and to that im a clueless rule in the economy and he actually accused them of beating war profiteers and he would be the nice businessman that accumulated on this he has money prior to the war which is obviously not the case and also what would like to remind that it was that the syrian state that. Provided emission of taxes to city at the end mid 201420152 also to the other main typical negotiate committees company into country m. T. M. They had their taxes reduced from 60 percent to 20 percent so we must be clear this is a. Rift among the highest right that of the ruling family the president ial palace is now inching an offensive to concentrate more power this is the key objective of question. And the president ial palace more general thank you so much for explaining all of that that starts at the height of their academic at the European University in st thank you.

Other m. P. s he is monitoring events in brazil from colombia and joins us now live so how did it have all these rallies of both scenarios actual support across the country. Well came according to the latest polls still 20 somewhere between 20. 00 to 31st saying the electorate in brazil supports president also not oh they might be minority but they are quite in gauged in highly motivated in they have made it kind of tradition now to come out twice so we can support the president in their cars or trucks as we have seen again this sunday both in sao paulo and in the capital brasilia in brazil at these rallies usually and in front of the president ial palace where his supporters are greeted by the president himself with to his ministers people obviously and to raj and at times leaders of the evan jelly cold church right wing Christian Churches in brasil that make up the base of his supporters these people who are protesting against the lock down the isolation measures and in support of the president is being investigated for example by the Supreme Court for allegedly interfering in Police Investigations in Corruption Cases against it his sons these people say that there is an executive in place in brazil and they want to defend them against the other powers in that country so definitely they remain quite engaged in what was new today though is that the votes are not up for the 1st time and the people with him were wearing face masks so this may be shows that now that brazil is the 4th country anywhere anywhere in the world with the highest number of coronavirus cases you might be taking this a bit more seriously he wasnt mingling as much or around with that with people or hugging them and kissing them as us doing that until last week he still took pictures with some d Young Children one. Of them dressed up in for military gear also because their supporters many of them are nostalgic of the old under military dictatorship some of them hold sign also calling for any intervention by the military and the truth is that both are not again called out against the isolation measures that are in place in a number of cities and states throughout brazil essentially he said that a misery and hunger and unemployment will be the future of those who support what he calls. Hate their ship of isolation thanks that have died there that is. Their land yes we thank you for. The pandemic is having a Significant Impact on world economies iran was in bad shape even before the outbreak mainly due to years of u. S. Sanctions some businesses are now doing everything they can to keep the doors open and he has more from tehran. More than 83000000 people live in one of the most sanctioned countries in the world domestic brands dominate this big Consumer Market and how well the Tehran Stock Exchange has been doing in recent years challenges conventional thinking about irans economy how to pull you do let him work overrule the government intends to support the growth of the stock market this is our production we will help this market continue to flourish i say again the government is determined to increase the sales of its sheens this is produced positive expectations and will continue to do so. Sanctions have forced domestic investment which has been good for many local businesses but the covert 1000 pandemic has meant lost revenues in april 1 of irans biggest government run Holding Companies decided to sell 10 percent of its shares its portfolio is enormous assets include mobile operators shipping companies Pharmaceuticals Construction Petro Chemicals the list goes on. A Public Offering is unprecedented and generating excitement about investing in stocks iranians who normally put their savings in real estate gold foreign currency even cars are investing heavily in the Stock Exchange and the government is making it easier to do so. In the past people mostly deposited the savings in banks banks invested it now its become very simple theres a website called suggest the comprehensive Financial Information people register online and receive a trading code and they can buy she is 3 different brocas. But some iranians worry this is a cash grab during a downturn that this might be a bubble and new investors in a speculation driven market could lose their money. Meanwhile Small Business is a major part of irans commercial landscape have been circling the drain since the beginning of the outbreak this ancient public bath and downtown had dozens of customers every day before the pandemic oh. We havent had any business for a long time we kind enough to even pay the water below if he continues like this we would have to hand back these places to eat or not while there is growing confidence around the stock market working class iranians remain the most financially vulnerable many People Living in this city have more immediate concerns like keeping a roof over their heads and food on the table in fact there are families that would indeed find it difficult to get by if it wasnt for the daily food rations they receive from local charities privatizing state owned assets means irans post coronavirus economy could see more control in public hands something that could lead to long term growth but for now the economy is doing what it has been doing for years shrinking and working class communities feel the squeeze the most. Well as they mentioned iran has been struggling on the years of u. S. Sanctions of the pulling out of the Iran Nuclear Deal and 28. 00 taina washington imposed tough measures to curb to Irans Nuclear and missile programs thats affected a number of sectors from edgy to banking oil exports plummeted unemployment rose and the economy went into a recession then the pandemic hit last month president Hassan Rouhani called the sanctions unjust and cruel and form a senior u. S. And european officials have jointly called for sanctions relief for iran. Jarretts block is a senior fellow at come the good endowment for International Peace he joins us now from washington thank you for your time a reporter there explained how sanctions forced domestic investment before the pandemic has that in any way buffered the impact of coronavirus in iran well you could look at it that way and say that the fact that iran suffered such as steep decline in oil revenues prior to the pandemic means that the shock is smaller than for other extra Oil Exporters that has suffered that decline now but certainly i would prefer to have been in a Stronger Economic position rather than a weaker economic position go into the. There is some limited sanctions waiver for humanitarian supplies into iran but other than now we are we dont have to see any changes in terms of sanctions and if not why not. Well it certainly doesnt seem that way as your reporter indicated there has been a. Nearly universal call from european officials former officials u. S. A democratic officials for some degree of loosening in both iranian and other sanctions the sanctions targeting other countries as well in response to the crude a virus and thats partially because what there are humanitarian corridor outs there just demonstrably ineffective and so the kinds of things that iran might need to buy from abroad in order to deal with the coronaVirus Outbreak are not really available given the constraints on banking transactions and other kinds of transactions and those where the sanctions well i think is limited as you mentioned you said that theyre ineffective why are these sanctions waivers for humanitarian supplies effective there are few reasons for that one is that the Trump Administration has made clear that theyre going to take a very very broad view of what kinds of transactions might be sanctionable so if theres anybody in the chain who they later assert might have some link to the i or g c theyre claiming that the sanctions and the european or even counterparty might be sanctionable thats a very high risk to run and then the other thing is that the Financial Markets are really shut down so banks just dont want to touch iran and as a result Even Companies that might be willing to sell unsanctioned items like ventilators or personal protective equipment just cant find a way to receive payment as a pandemic change the way any nations might want to deal on think about western nations my want to deal with iran long term. Well i think that it has certainly changed the way that a number of countries are thinking about the United States longer term because our sanctions policies are so powerful largely as a result of that the dependence of the world on new york Financial Markets and when the world sees that we cant be flexible even in the face of a pandemic where forcing iran to fail forces all of us to fail the plec each Others Public Health i think a lot of countries look at that situation and say you know longer term wed better find a way to carve out some independence from u. S. Sanctions interesting how how do you think irans response to cars at 19 in country has impacted its Economic Situation now well see clear im not blaming u. S. Sanctions for irans response to cope at 19 i think that its complicated the response but theyve made all of their mistakes on their own and certainly thats been that you know that thats thats been thats been a problem what i would say is that the constricted economy makes it even harder than it would otherwise be to have a sustained lock down because they just dont have the Macro Economic flexibility to support people who need to make their rent payments or get food or do the other necessities of daily life during a condition a period of social distance they get to have your analysis thank you for your time talent bunk there a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. European countries are creeping out of octomom balancing the need of their economies with the risk of a 2nd wave of infections the u. K. What the continents west outbreak has still deliberating of a when and how schools should open sonic a cover for pts. Soaring temperatures high humidity the 1st heat wave of the year has descended on greece in the capital afghans the easing of the lockdown did little to tempt people onto its streets instead it was the beaches that many drifted towards all the while remaining one of the half meters apart travel across the mainland will be allowed for monday but it will be another week after that before its islands will allow visitors again. Slowly the country continues to open up its churches unlock their doors to the faithful for the 1st time in 2 months. Im taking precautions because they ordered it not so much because im afraid i always kept distancing and kept apart from my grandchildren. In the u. K. The lockdown has been extended until at least the end of june the woman weather has tempted few on to the beaches here confusion over the governments new guidelines remains as well as efforts to reopen schools while government ministers and scientists attempt to calm fears that allowing children back could cause infections to rise it does seem from what we know now that children are getting it. And certainly. Getting from the disease from one country trying to emerge from lock down to another still in self isolation russia has the worlds 2nd fastest rate of new infections behind the United States with moscow the epicenter of its epidemic. More than 1700 new cases were recorded on sunday the number of deaths from covert 19 has now surpassed 2600 much slower compared to the u. S. U. K.
