Department after george for its killing triggered mass demonstrations in the u. S. Coronavirus reaches another milestone 7000000 confirmed cases worldwide but a record surge isnt stopping india from reopening. And abandoned for decades but now a nazi Submarine Base has found new life as the Worlds Largest digital art Space Transport premier League Champions Manchester City are hoping for a big win in the quarter and the club aiming to overturn that syria ban from playing in European Competitions. Starting with libya on a surprise move from the leadership of one of its warring administrations who is the speaker of the parliament based into broke in the east has arrived in moscow for talks he was seen in egypt at the weekend where his ally award Khalifa Haftar announced a cease fire which was rejected by the un recognized government the other administration in tripoli meanwhile on the ground in libya after forces continue to lose ground to that un recognized government thats been pushing ahead towards the strategic city of sirte will start with this manic trainer who is in. About 140 kilometers west of sirte. Ive been speaking to miller it military leaders here on the ground and theyve told me that yesterday theyve made significant gains theyve entered the western gates of sirte now thats known as an area the checkpoint 30 which is 30 kilometers west of sirte they have entered and are in control of this area they have also entered one of the el gerrish which is south of sirte this is a valley a valley of jar of which is a natural a natural barrier of sorts so this is a lead into g. And a thats the internationally recognized government of National Court control of sirte weve we can see that the red or the rhetoric among g. N. A. T. Politicians among among the military officials here has has changed and thats because they are now in a position of strength they feel weve seen drastic drastic changes since the since the support of turkey to the g. N. A. T. Several cities stronghold of of to huna belonging to warlords leave or have to was taken and so theres theres a significant change and position for the g. N. A. T. Now there are in in the southern. Southern suburbs of sirte and while jarrah and these are forces that know suit very well theyve theyve theyve they fought in syria in 2011 against the late wall more gadhafi they also fought in liberating for what they say liberating sirte from dasht thats i saw in 2016 ok so that tells us whats happening on the ground there i want to go back to. Who i mentioned earlier and how he fits into this libya conflict said he is the speaker of the administration into broke it ministration which rivals the internationally recognized government in tripoli his government is also allied to the woodward Khalifa Haftar he attended saturdays talks in cairo where. After and egypts president but there were some big differences between salah and hafter when the war declared himself the sole ruler of libya more recently has been quoted as saying russia wants negotiations to resume with the tripoli government because it no longer sees a positive outcome to half his offensive after has been trying to take over tripoli remember for more than a year now so mahmoud is with us now from tripoli to try to put this into some context there as we know its a battle for power but also it seems a battle of of personalities in libya will come. All indications recently have been. Indicating that russian my be reconsidering its allies in libya especially after the failure of have in running the military campaign that was meant to seize their capital tripoli a series of defeats said backs he suffered specially after his forces lost the west of the country after a one year. Military campaign that he launched in april last year now all facts on the ground indicate that. Russia might be considering reconsidering get shuffling get its allies in libya could put. Ahead. As a personality to be in the talks in the potential peace talks but generally speaking this potential meeting in moscow has not been officially announced yet neither by moscow nor by tripoli which also indicates that the government of National Accord here in tripoli is not very keen to. Localise that it is it is being engaged in talks again with the. Administration in the east but generally speaking. Russia seems to be keen now in. Offering a peace deal especially after it has been accused by the government of supporting the warlord 24. 00 have to with the medicine rhes and weapons and medicine is from the Wagners Group and also weapons including get jets ok thank you for all that thats mahmoud are the one who our correspondent in tripoli now sami hamdi editor in chief of the International Interest which is a Risk Consultancy hes on skype from london sami nice to see you initially when i heard this news it seemed like sort of muddying the waters again but i guess it once again points to. Khalifa haftar being taken down a few notches again and becoming perhaps in the eyes of russia less that significant. I think russia is trying to lessen from have the power but not entirely get rid of him i think that the proof of that is that in cairo it was both regular salary and half that what i think russia is doing russia wants talks russia wants negotiations but knows it is untenable for settlers to sit with half that again so russia is trying to say to such look come and sit with i get asylum at least and i promise to rein in half that this doesnt necessarily mean that have to is out to the picture but it means that hes no longer the face russia is trying to make sure that he is no longer the face that sits there with and i think this shows actually a great sensitivity of of tripoli and also an appreciation of that sensitivity from russia yes that it. Is believed to have sect his economy minister in a sign that the d. N. A. Are starting to clash with one another would disagree with one another we heard the reports that satirized is in moscow but it hasnt been officially announced because said i was worried about the backlash that might come about from his supporters from the g. 8 forces but it appears that russia is trying to bring about some mediation turkeys trying to help these mediation along and senators in an awkward position whereby if he seemed to be excited about these talks he would lose domestically but if he doesnt go to these talks then he risks jeopardizing the turkish support and indeed the his generally the ship of the g. N. A. T. But the other thing for said our show was just remind viewers as the leader of the u. N. Recognized government in tripoli the thing is he and his forces have got an advantage on the ground now and they would be wanting to push forward ahead with that as much as possible through to certain maybe even on further surely that will be very focused right at the moment. Usually if youd asked me yesterday or 2 days ago i would have said that the g. N. A. T. Would want to push as much as they can and seize as much territory its clear that. Least privately would hope that the genie can take some of the oil question some of those resources that would put it in a much better position but the reports of a government reshuffle and reports that some large has gone to moscow suggests that some large himself does not believe that he is capable of relying soley on that military solution solely on that military push and that so large himself is wary that the more distant the half the threat becomes the more prospect there is of divisions within the g. N. A. T. Itself weve heard reports that he rejected the egypt peace plan he quite simply doesnt trust the egyptians but of course the dynamic here is that the more the g. N. A. T. Pushes into Eastern Libya the more likely we are to see direct intervention from egypt so far its been logistics its been supply of weapons here and there but we may see new gyptian intervention very similar to turkey we know that russia now is trying to pull the strings with regard to negotiation turkey is saying to russia and with negotiations but privately hoping the genie can take some of the oil present some knowledge is worried that the have becoming distant so hes trying to make sure he can maintain that balance of power in a glass clique its important to remember that just as we saw reports of revenge attacks in total horner in shows that the ministry of interior has not got full control over the forces that are fighting with the g. N. A. T. So when we talk about sort of pushing eastward so large himself knows that while today they are his forces the bigger the more the more territory he takes the less they are to him and this is what i think we are heading towards negotiations but russia is trying to take into regards to russia sensitivities and giving him a way in which he can go to the libyan people go to tripoli and say look guys lets talk lets negotiate im not setting out im not talking would have to im talking with i get outside of our case yet to see what the reaction will be i think well need to talk to you in another couple of days sammy because things are moving fast and they be around by thank you so we have these with us from london. On to other news and city council is in minneapolis and the u. S. Are promising to dismantle and rebuild the Police Department then this is in response to the deaths in custody of george floyd just spot protests in the u. S. And around the world has a report. A movement that shows no signs of abating across the United States another day of massive crowds demanding Police Reform and it appears in some places getting what they want in minneapolis where the killing of george bush and unarmed africanamerican sparked the protests the city council have pledged to disband the Police Department and try to figure out a new form of policing our commitment is to end our citys toxic relationship with the Media Outlets to Police Departments to answer these things as we wait and wait for yet. Actually. A new york citys mayor says hes focusing on the funding we will be moving funding from the n. Y. P. D. To use initiatives and social services he didnt say how much but it is the latest sign that the demand to defund the police is gaining traction at least for Democratic Leaders the Trump Administration is defending the heavy Police Presence and its handling of mostly peaceful protests arguing there doesnt need to be widespread change i dont think you need to reduce them unity to to go a step backwards because that would result certainly in Police Pulling back i do not think that we have a systemic racism problem with Law Enforcement officers across this country do i knowledge that there are some Law Enforcement officers that abuse their job yes and again we need to hold those accountable u. S. President donald trump is mocking the idea on twitter where he also announced the National Guard troops he sent into washington d. C. Will be returning home something the d. C. Mayor has been calling for and the president is facing more criticism from leading. Public it with reports former president george bush wont vote for him neither will mitt romney who took part in the protests we did moyse against racism we did many voices against racism and again were telling you to stand up and say the black lives matter and former top military leaders are also openly criticizing the president this is a moment as i said of moral clarity i think is very clear in the future whether we want to unify the country in a Political Division in the Political Division that has existed now for years or whether we want to continue to divide the country that is a choice that the American People have in front of them in the very near future on the streets calls for change with many wondering if it will result in big changes in the november election. Peaceful marches continued late into the night in los angeles where troops in the National Guard have now left the city as they have elsewhere off the violence and looting subsided of the weekend lays mayor Eric Garcetti also said he would seek to move millions of dollars from the Police Budget to social services tell is from the Brennan Center for justice which advocates for legal reform and she told us Police Funding is spend but with little accountability. Police sergeant have by and large been sacrosanct in Many American cities rate so not only are the en route to police the edges increasing and tighten it where crime is going down but you also have a great deal of a pass to the iraqis that its made i mean if you ever try to look at a Police Department i do ive really only looked at the what and you are mostly you know its really hard to tell where the moneys going and frankly where the might come in from in some cases because they also get a lot of money from the federal government so theres a lot of issues around you know Police Budget is a pact that they continue to rise or a time when if you dont write its going down at a time now where you know many look how these are they saying you know huge budget deficits in the wake of the 90 so all of these things i think its a who will ask around this hall which is a really nice that you know we think about how we want to spend money as a city any city right we have to think about what we want to invest in and obviously you know Public Safety and security is a really important thing but there are ways of getting to her safety and security and simply finding a police force and its the old guns and other debate right. Have a look at whats coming up for you on this news hour tearing down history the protests in the u. S. Highlight one of the darkest phases in the countrys history also the number of coronavirus cases in pakistan passes 100000 well hear just how bad its happened and in sport the former head of world athletics goes on trial in france charged with corruption and Money Laundering. So lets talk corona virus and the number of reported cases worldwide has now topped 7000000 the death toll is above 400000 but whats perhaps even more concerning is how in just 6 months covered nineteens become the largest cause of death on the planet this timeline comes from a group called flora starting on january 1st were now into february here look down the bottom there that sort of green all of colored bar 2nd from the bottom thats the number of coated 19 deaths and then midway through march the acceleration begins it moves above fire deaths drugs conflict and then really accelerates through april to go past the big killers of homicide malnutrition and eventually the blue line malaria. At this point 210000 deaths that is now killing more people than anything else on the planet and just keeps on going so really what all that tells us is that covert 9000 is a reality thats not going away and thats why governments are having to take their own decisions for example india taking another big step today in opening up its economy despite reporting a record high of almost 10000 new cases places of worship like this one in the capital new delhi are opening their doors Shopping Centers restaurants are back in business to millions of people lost their jobs of course when the law was imposed back in march inside one of those malls for us now in new delhi our correspondent elizabeth peron and take us through how reopening works when as we say the number is a still going up so much. Like a mall it works with a lot of guidelines in place so where and one of delhis most popular morals which opened at midday over 3 and a half hours ago but many of the shops i would say huff of the shops here are still closed and there are very few customers so the most restaurants and villages cases which have opened have guidelines like temperature checks sanitation tunnels which people walk through with limited numbers and theyre markings all over the floor to ensure social distancing weve seen people go into villages places from 5 oclock this morning india is a religious country where more than 80 percent of people say religion is very important to them so that was much anticipated but we have seen fewer people i would say with Business Owners telling us that they have very apprehensive about the reopening as the number of cases continue to rise and thats why the worst hit state of maharashtra the state including indian administered kashmir has decided not to open such a stablish months even though the lockdown has had a huge impact. Calmness on the economy and at least 114000000 jobs have been lost so youre talking about jobs there youve talked about cases what about the number of deaths the sort of again for a country that is so big and with such a Large Population the suspected underreporting of deaths. Yes so every other day were seeing the highest single day rise in the number of cases and and deaths and reportedly over 7000 now with the stage of tally of cases of 82000 being higher than that of chinas and moment its capital and deadliest struggling with a lack of beds so much so that dudleys chief minister said on sunday that people outside wouldnt be allowed to use dudleys hospitals because of the back of beds that theres been a backlash medical associations have said that hospitals come to an emergency patients away so the 2 cities with the best infrastructure are struggling and as for the numbers of deaths 22 percent of all deaths and dia medically certified and is already down to 6 on the list of countries it was detected so its really important to keep in mind that its still not testing enough and with so few deaths medically certified both cases and deaths are being under reported in fact there is a case in the Supreme Court right now where the Delhi Government is being accused of underreporting cases because the deaths being reported by Climate Change by graveyards dont match the official count by the government here elizabeth peron and with the update from new delhi thank you for that from india we move to pakistan with a number of reported coronavirus cases had supposed 100000 infection rate increase staff to the holy month of ramadan and didnt markets then reopen doctors want to tough luck down measures but the governments in the country couldnt afford to do that its come all in a slum about why couldnt the country afford to do that. Welcome all inferior member the government initially went into lockdown and that continued for several weeks almost 2 months to be precise however the cost of that staggering and according to initial estimates 2. 00 trillion drew brees launches a crude because of the 19 pandemic also the fact that pakistan realized that if there was a strict law down that millions of people would be unemployed all the more 65000000. 00 people that is the strength of pakistans labor and labor force would be deprived of the jobs and also the fact that the country had no other choice but to learn to live 9 the government of course came out rich. But this is a country where very few people cared about. Illiteracy is high and opening up several sectors of society has actually increased the number of infections a big why did not always. Continue to rise Edward Porter said very strain on pakistans medical facilities which are already strained by the high number of infections over 100000 boxes china and the fact that we are also getting reports that 34000 and above have recovered but pakistan as not yet seen the baby and the medical experts are warning that within the next 2 to 3 weeks pakistan may see an even more dangerous situation the government on the other hand hell bent on its policy that no matter what happens it will continue to function and always go operated by their peers because there is no other choice. That up on the situation in pakistan thank you and now the u. K. Where most people entering the. Country are now required to put themselves into quarantine for 2 weeks thats angered the airlines and those working in the Tourism Industry as well and questions about how effective the whole policy will actually be john holl has this report from one popular tourist spot the birthplace of William Shakespeare. Rough winds do shake the darling buds of may and summers lease and all too short a date in shakespeares sonnets the fragility of love is compared to the fleeting english summer this year in the town of his birth theyre wondering whether summer will come at all. Sent down to take. The tourist business and decide this is we have 6 months where we take an 80 percent of our income and say weve lost 3 of those this year that who raise our ice cream parlor owners sasha and her mom sarah say the governments plan to quarantine most people arriving in the country from monday spell the end of their business i mean nobody is going to come in. If theyve got to stay in one place for 2 weeks. So yeah International Tourism is a big instruct and we have a lot of tourists every year its why we got so many Small Businesses because the tourists here. If William Shakespeare were alive today he might have turned covert 19 into an opportunity he did after all produce some of his greatest and darkest works while under lockdown himself at home during successive outbreaks of the bubonic plague in the late 16th and early 17th century. Experience deadly disease had drama and tragedy written all over it but the actors and Theatre Companies given life by his works now as then face financial ruin yeah were sure that shakespeare really understood the emotional difficulties of being in lockdown and the economic difficulties he had some options that its even harder for us right now so often when theres a place in london they would go off on tour because they would find that actually transmission wasnt as bad outside london of course the Global Economy means that transmission has been the same everywhere so we havent got some of the options he had but we do have his plays the play that i was rehearsing just before we had to close the tail. Almost certainly ricin in a time of lockdown because of plague and it really speaks of healing that can happen after long periods of not being able to do what you want to do plagues have come and gone and shakespeares plays survived above all today he might have urged patience come want to come may says macbeth time and the hour runs through the roughest a wonderful report from jonah hole there whos now moved on from Stratford Upon Avon to Heathrow Airport hi jonah i want to ask you about these new quarantine roles how does that work and how much of it the onus will fall upon the person coming in rather than any authorities in the u. K. What its all going to depend really own the willingness of people coming in to abide by and and actually take up this quarantine 14 days of self isolation and have to when they arrive at airports and ports of entry like you throw behind me fill in a form tell people tell the Border Guards where theyre going to be staying where they can be found and spoken to on the phone where theyll be supposedly random checks carried out by Public Health england its a big os the onus is very much on the travelers themselves to be compliant theyre a very loud critical voices who suggest this simply isnt going to work not because its unmanageable or hard to enforce which arguably it is but because it wont fulfil the governments stated aim of trying to limit transmission of the virus and prevent a 2nd wave coming in from abroad why because of the blanket nature of this quarantine policy being applied to all countries across the board including and frankly there are a lot of them now countries with lower infection rates than the u. K. The government says its relying on the science the science for that contention begins to look doubtful when Scientists Say that the point of a policy like this is to target specifically and efficiently countries with higher infection rates than the u. K. As indeed other countries have done with some effect and have done so far earlier in their epidemics and the other line of criticism of course is that this is all happening far too late journey or at the gate way to the u. K. Heathrow airport what are the airlines saying. Well the airlines are furious of course the airlines and the travel industry has tried very hard to lobby the government to change its mind that hasnt worked and the 3 Main Airlines Biggest Airlines in this country Ryanair Easyjet and i. A. G. The company that owns b. A. Are actually launching Legal Proceedings against the government they say that imposing this rule now is too late it will be ineffective it is illogical unfair and would kill off the nascent seeds of recovery of the travel industry and take a look at that airport thats one of the busiest airports in the world in normal times it is bare and it is quiet theres barely a plane taking off and of course questions are raised at the government just how much thought has been given to what this policy will do to the airlines to the airports to the travel industry for the consequences in general weighed against the effect of effectiveness of the potential effectiveness which when you look at all. The evidence that the critics point out looks questionable at best. Reporting from Heathrow Airport in london thank you jonah. We will get a check of the weather now with everton thoughts thanks very much clear skies down and lots of sunshine and then we could have some rain in new zealand i mean theres no sign of that in the forecast over the next few days you can see the large the clear skies across much of australia and with the clear skies is the big area of High Pressure the High Pressure it is lit on the atmosphere prevents the cloud from rising theres no cloud its a bit like when youre bed at night and someone pulls the covers off you get cold air settling in there we have got some very frosty conditions then cross that southeastern corner and in fact in tasmania temperatures dip to 5 below 0 theres some very cold air city cold enough for a touch of frost in adelaide as well where the temperature got down to around one degree celsius cold enough for a ground and see how widespread that that cold air is there the blue showing up in that southeastern corner across that toria pushing up into southern parts of New South Wales by the afternoon we saw those temperatures getting up into the low teens temperatures will pick up a little as we go on through the next couple of days im pleased to say actually so were off to a chilly start still a chance of another frost at least into choose days morning well see temperatures getting up to 15 celsius in melbourne 18 degrees there is sydney and you can see those temperatures well they are on the rise by the time we come to work thursday should be a touch warmest still noticed some showers there started to push their way into New South Wales just around the gold coast and notice some wetter weather getting into new zealand but no sign of that rain pushing into the north island kamau thank you vision for the heavy duty on that i guess. Everyones been so eloquent today on the news im going to have to up my day and still ahead anger in brazil about racism and the governments handling of the corona Virus Outbreak also we will take you to Southern Africa where schools have reopened the restrictions loosening further value and in sports being in Different Countries it didnt stop 3 of the worlds best kathleens competing against each other and you will have that. Frank assessments tourism income stream is dead in the water whats been the result seen perching go up quite significantly informed opinions there has been a very aggressive political rhetoric that has become very normal in Israeli Society indepth analysis of the dates global headlines its time for diplomacy gives us a country that we cannot all be disintegrating but its great to meet this stability or we all continue inside story are now just 01 of the really special things that work in progress here is that even as a camera woman i get to have so much empathy and contribution to a story i feel we cover this region better than anyone else would be for it as you know is that it turns the body particularly because you have a lot of people that are deployed on political issues we are with the people we live to tell the real stories are just mended used to deliver indepth journalism we dont feel inferior to the audience across the globe. Whos. Here on the news hour here at aljazeera and these are the top stories the speaker of libyas to brook based parliament is in moscow for talks comes as forces of solace ally the war believe hafter are losing grounds to the un recognized government has been pushing ahead towards the strategic city of search. The city of minneapolis is promising to dismantled and rebuild its Police Department in response to the deaths in custody of george floyd which of course sparked protests in the u. S. And around the world. And india is easing its coverage 19 restrictions despite reporting a record high of almost 10000 new coronavirus cases places of worship in new delhi are reopening Shopping Centers and restaurants are also back in business. Now a senior u. K. Cabinet minister is condemning protesters who tore down a statue of a 17th century slave trade him home secretary pretty patel described it as quote utterly disgraceful and an act of vandalism crowds and bristol rips the 125 year old statue from the ground and threw it in the hopper well i think that is awfully describes phil and that speaks to the acts of disorder public disorder that actually have now become a distraction from the cause in which people are actually actively protesting about and trying to empathize and sympathize with. Its extends to the u. S. Of course where memorials to the confederacy a group of states which fought to keep slavery have always been a source of tension and there once again a flashpoint especially in the city of Richmond Virginia the capital of the confederacy last week protesters there set fire to the daughters of the confederacy building there dedicated to stopping the removal of statues of confederate litas on saturday a small group pulled down the statue of confederate general william wake him his own descendants and called for its removal years earlier and on thursday virginias governance plans to remove the statue of the confederate general robert a lady might remember in 2017 opposition to the proposed removal of another one of his statues led to a white supremacist rally in charlottesville which of course ended in these extraordinary scenes of violence a lot to unpack there were going to do with Maurice Jackson an associate professor of africanamerican studies at Georgetown University nice to have you with us is it as simple as saying these statues need to come down while other people would say they need to be there to remind people of the past i mean is there an answer here. Thank you very much you have me it back and say you know the beginning of the book was that was missing you had a program on shakespeare actually let you know that shakespeare. In the royal african cup in the same company a bit the gentleman whose death was taken down so no its not very easy or simple or this should just bet is not now yes do we need more members of this black people need know remember. These things that they are everywhere we go let me give an example the white house. Love yes where are those demonstrators who have been in washington just really treating people everywhere you go at a camp that was built in the United States this 700 or more than 31 states dedicated to a confederate. So you know they said oh come down they should put be put into it dont think of history what do you think of the reaction for example in the u. K. Of the home secretary there who talked about the vandalism of it being utterly disgraceful is that just you know not raiding the room where you know sometimes bases tourists end up and do the right thing sometimes they dont if you remember he was William Wilberforce who many years ago with the 1st parliamentary leader who came out in support in 79 and 3 in the abolition of slavery they were people like Thomas Clarkson they were people a. Show they had been people who stood up and then they had men. Who were supporting the slave trade supported question so who are men or makers statement. Sounds like ive done a job. As ever i think it becomes about education if i were to come to the United States if i would go to and i used the example of Richmond Virginia there i could see centuries but is there other museums other places where people can actually learn about this and learn from the mistakes of the past. Of course the museum of africanamerican history and it started right in washington d. C. The most and if you go in sad you can see a demonstration that big they will show you barons of the klan and what theyve done almost an africanamerican museum may have a rule of the klansmen where you can go and seek you can go to the museums and you can see the pictures in the back sabbat going to merican men. Who will be whipped no we dont try to have we dont care about them it must be so in context but in washington d. C. And every museums throughout the country africanamerican other museums and other well how do you believe they will patronized i think i dont shy away from it. Well the museum ever going to medical history has more people believe that if placed in a museum in the country of the smithsonian museums yes of course you go you can see them a bit and there are plans sure but they must be told in context is that museum of africanamerican history it is also the casket of. Emmett till and thats who confederates of welcome to get better when ian is 14 you who are into him in a real so yes they are their membership when man should want to go to Richmond Virginia if you go down this minute boulevard and 1st thing you see as the cameramen have been know and they should been taken down long time ago in now almost every state now i understand the governors of the base of whitening the governor of virginia when he knows that this is disruptive to this is is indeed it is not what w. Needs to be about and therefore they have caught on. To taking the easy down should they be thrown in no were in a war well maybe they should. Be you know you just melt and and informal or you know a ribbon a snowman i dont know that people said nice idea thank you for that always good to talk to mark jackson from Georgetown University after the return to coronaviruses most schools in south africa have reopened since march many students have been taught at home now those in their final years of primary and secondary school are allowed to return our correspondent in johannesburg is. Every time ive talked to you about this funny that there has been controversy about it theres been people saying its still happening to saying i suspect thats still happening. Well there is certainly concern not just about how safe schools are for students to return remember thats been delayed by at least a week the department of education had planned to open schools earlier and unions and teachers and said that they are confident that that the schools or would it have enough precautions in place to safeguard students or peace or today is certainly schools and the department are trying their very best to make sure that children are kept safe but they are still a number of concerns and its also been a very difficult task this is what we heard from at least one School Principal who said its really been a nightmare trying to make sure that the schools are adequately sanitized but now that students a back on School Grounds trying to maintain that social distancing ensuring all students have marsa wear them throughout the school day and on top of that theyre also trying to catch up on the amount of schoolwork that theyve missed they have missed out on a significant amount of work especially head of the exam period and what their department of education is trying to do is allow students who are in their final year of primary and high school to return to ensure that they catch up as quickly as possible but teachers really are concerned about the pressure both on the system but as well as students a given you know these type of considerations of just how much work to have to catch up on and also the threat of covert 1000 south africas cases are now rising significantly they have had about 25000 more cases in the last 2 weeks and it took about 2 months before that to reach the 25000 mark from him about that update from johannesburg. In kenya theres been a protest against Police Brutality after a report by a Police Watchdog that officers were involved in the killing of at least 15 people during lockdown in march the report also accuses police of harris meant assaults robbery and sexual assaults more than 36000. 00 people are known to have died from corona virus now in brazil and as president continues to play down the seriousness of cover 19 people have come out to protest against his handling of the crisis and racism as well is more from out latin america editor newman. Government opponents who had until now banged on pots and pans from their balconies came out onto the streets of sao paulo in large numbers to protest for the 1st time since the pandemic reached brazil their country now has the worlds 3rd highest death toll from cold that night but they defied their grim reality because their list of grievances is getting long. I came out despite the quarantine because i have to fight for all of us both scenario is a threat to democracy and our lives many use the occasion to also show their support for the black lives matter a bit. Of both an aura doesnt care about black lives 54 percent of brazilians are black and where the ones being hardest hit by covert and poverty thats why he does nothing. But the strongest message was against what Many Brazilians see as an attempt by their president and his supporters to subvert Democratic Institutions especially the Supreme Court which also not all threatens to shut down. Both sonora is a fascist and i dont want this country to turn into a dictatorship i already lived through that some brazilians i asked former brazilian ambassador to washington and the un rubins we could put all if described in poso novel as a fascist was perhaps going too far. All 3. Here and. Using what. He. And but all in the military.
