So then the world has recorded its worst day yet for new cases the coronavirus more than 183000. 00 infections were reported on sunday that takes the total close to 9000000. 00 and its rising at an alarming rate in the country where the president dismissed it as just a little flu deaths in brazil not exceed 50000 likes here brian. Brazils deep divisions playing out on the streets of its major cities with some marching in support of president jaya balls and arrows. And opponents determined he should step down. But the moca fear we are here in defense of democracy and asking for sonora to leave this president who asserts the peoples power and is committing atrocities does not deserve to govern our country. Protesters are angry at both an hours response to the pandemic hes openly disagreed with advice from his own Health Ministry calling covered a little flu saying measures such as social distancing accosting jobs and a more dangerous than the virus itself. Those feelings echoed at rallies in brazils commercial capital sao paolo where saw more masks showing the president who is often seen without one they are born almost but if they were here in support of our president. We want to go back to work we want support for shopkeepers support entrepreneurs these people here in sao paulo today are in support of brazil. But brazil is struggling to beat the virus with some doctors warning that hospitals a swamped with more than a 1000000 confirmed infections to Health Ministers both doctors have resigned as the number of brazilians dying or falling ill increased what critics say is the president s chaotic response has seen local authorities step in to take their own measures but judging by the crowds at protests in the shops theres not much social distancing being done many say what rules there are and not being enforced on rio de janeiros famous copacabana beach ulsan are supporters stood with brazilian flags staked into the sand where just weeks ago they were crosses laid and protest against the 10s of thousands of deaths. The mortality rate among brazils Indigenous People is twice as high as other brazilians the militarys been sent in to help communities with testing but some in the Amazon Region say its too late and accuse the president of abandoning them. But they feel a heroic weakness sometimes i can feel it in my heart i feel weak as the virus continues its relentless spread sotto does unease about where the president also now row is to blame brian aljazeera. Japanese local authority has approved a measure of changing the status of a disputed island chain thats also claimed by china and taiwan it asserts japans claim over the islands which its administered since 972. 00 look at the reaction of china in just a moment but 1st reports on the new tensions. At the southern tip of the japanese archipelago a cluster of uninhabited islands now on the frontline of what may be a new flashpoint they lie close to Significant Oil and gas deposits strategic shipping routes and lucrative fishing grounds to japan they are the cuckoo islands china calls them the dar use but for 50 years theyve been administered and controlled by tokyo taiwan also claims ownership chinas government had warned japan against changing the status of the islands and is now reportedly deployed coast guard vessels to the area as it has done many times before. The rising tensions in the East China Sea come as chinas military continues to assert its Maritime Claims in the nearby South China Sea and while its soldiers are involved in another sovereignty dispute with india it was also where is the ongoing is india and china will serve. That the chinese are a bit of article this dispute has often stirred nationalist sentiment 2012 saw violent anti japanese protests in many chinese cities after japans government brought 3 of the islands from their private owners and although mondays renaming decision was taken by a Municipal Council it could still inflame passions once more what makes the waters of the East China Sea so potentially turbulent is the high profile of another military this warship evidence of a 60 year old treaty which obligates the United States to defend. If its a tight its a treaty thats yet to be seriously tested. Well lets talk to adrian joins us from Hong Kong China and japan there claims go back in history dont they whats been the reaction from china. World particularly china has condemned the actions by japan saying that japans actions were illegal its interesting when we normally talk about maritime disputes in this part of the world nick were often referring to the South China Sea where china has been busy asserting its sovereignty claims for a number of years but now there are tensions in the East China Sea and its china that is playing the victim card now as i pointed out in my report to complicate things its not just china that claims these islands so too is taiwan which itself of course is claimed by china so on this one issue china and china on taiwan and china are of one and the Foreign Ministry in beijing today making very clear that theyre not going to let this drop we have to remember of course for the moment nick that when it comes to sovereignty this is a paramount issue for president xi jinping whether its a border dispute with india whether its the South China Sea whether its hong kong where china is about to impose a new security law sovereignty issues are paramount to president cheating paying and that is playing out right now in the East China Sea and given these set positions if need the side back down what next. Well i think what could possibly happen is you might see a bit of a standoff between you know Japanese Coast Guard vessels and perhaps coast guard vessels from china we know that a number of chinese coast guard vessels are now reportedly on their way to these troubled waters thats not new the chinese have been sailing into those waters repeatedly for a number of weeks according to japan and that may be why that japan this council in japan has decided to take the action that it has by renaming this cluster of islands now what this council has done seems pretty you know innocuously doesnt seem particularly threatening until of course you realize that those islands have been at the center of a long simmering dispute now nobody expects there to be conflict but of course nobody expects there to be p. C. The right now that is what is stories or what youre doing they appreciate that danger in brown reporting from hong kong now so has a north korea to abandon plans to send 90 south korean leaflets across the border it follows a week of worsley relations after a Propaganda Campaign by a group of north korean defectors reports now from seoul. North korea says it has 12000000 propaganda leaflets printed and 3000 balloons ready to carry them south across the border depicting south korean president moon jay in pyongyang says they represent the wrath and anger of the north Korean People up we do not have any intention to reconsider or change our plan at a time when north south relations have already broken down last week north korea demolished a joint Liaison Office on its side of the Demilitarized Zone in the surest sign yet of relations unraveling. The office was opened after a successful summit in 2018 which also agreed to stop provocative propaganda moves by either side. North korea has accused the south of breaking that agreement by allowing defectors who make calls human scum to float propaganda balloons into north korean territory despite having freedom of speech guaranteed in the south the government here has tried to curtail these provocative acts. One defective group that had threatened to float bottles filled with rice and propaganda messages into north korean waters has been prevented from doing so with this appeal from the south john boehner and you were the south korean government has already announced it starts regarding the Leaflet Campaign the government is blocking efforts to send anti north korea leaflets and commodities we urge north korea to stop their plan to distribute and the south korea propaganda leaflets that will only worsen into korean relations. But another defector group says it will launch a batch of propaganda balloons to mark the 70th anniversary of the start of the korean war later this week threatening to increase tensions even further robert pride aljazeera seoul. Up anymore still ahead here on the news are included venezuelas legal battle to access gold reserves in the u. K. Heads to britains high court.

Now dozens of migrants have been rescued from the Mediterranean Sea after the boat was reported to be in distress the Italian Charity mediterranea saving humans says 67 people were taken to a puzzle in sicily then transferred to a currency and sent most of the migrants were men from africa and from bangladesh where for years italy was the main route into europe for migrants and refugees to crack down on smugglers in libya and lead to form in mediterranean crossings this year there has been an uptick with nearly 6000 people landing in italy so far and that is almost double the number in the same period last year 6 boats with more than 100 migrants arrived on the island of lampedusa in the last few days lets take this on we can speak to Lawrence Hart is the director of the Coordination Office for the mediterranean at the International Organization for migration and joins us now from rome mr hart welcome to the program this is a familiar story is native hardship and survival some of the migrants that. Had been found without water or food 2 days this doubling in numbers why is it happened. Well i think there are a number of good day 1st of all i think there are a number of factors 1st of all we should say that this is happening because of the war and the conflict ongoing in libya which pushes a lot of people are moving moving on and not necessarily staying in libya to earn. Earn a salary. So the situation is one that is in the increase as you have highlighted but still remains relatively low compared to previous years what is interesting is that in these months there has been relatively little activity from n. G. O. S the ships in the in the on the sea in the mid Central Mediterranean however the numbers have increased so this is just to say that sometimes people say that both send n. G. O. S do constitute a pull factor but in reality what we see is not the case sure promising sign of course was the fact that italy allowed this to happen that i understand a port was assigned to the vessel very quickly. Yes thats correct and were very grateful for that forest speeding up this imprecation prophecies for the for the arrivals as something that is. A good testimony of italy towards finding solutions for. The 4 new arrivals all of them are screened on boats as well as spending a quarantine period before for the Solutions Like relocation. Is found for these people relocation means people will be going to are the e. U. Member states which is the practice which is picking up do you think that the welcome that its meal for this time will be ongoing do you think thatll be the same as as time goes on and how bad is the situation across the water in libya in terms of numbers waiting to come through. Well the situation is bad in libya. And the situation is always of instability so a lot of that instability will dictate. The level of crossings that will occur in the near future and lets also not forget that this is the high season high season meaning that that weather conditions in the mediterranean are more conducive for new departures from libya and arrivals in the northern shore of mediterranean so we are likely to see an increase which is already happening. Of course we also hope that this sign of generosity from the taliban government will continue a lot will also depend on the a number of arrivals and the solutions which are found beyond the 1st disembarkation operation which means integration or relocation into that country and another important fact of course is coronaviruses know what about the situation online producer which is one of the receiving islands. How is that its working with this influx trying to comply with the protocols for health over coated. Well indeed there are protocols there are quarantine protocols for all the migrants that arrive or whether in specific locations or on. Dedicated chartered boats which the ministry of interior has has made available for the quarantine should be said that it very very limited number of new arrivals are actually infected with with cold its what is interesting to see in the new right in the arrivals is the nationalities were seeing an uptick of people from bangladesh arriving to italy compared to the previous previous years so while subsaharan africans do remain a considerable number there are a number of nationalities there is there is for example bangladesh nationality which is something creates another consenting element is the arrival of many women from call divoire we should we suspect are victims of trafficking we unfortunately are not so many of the does imprecation points at the time as we speak were still waiting to reinstate our presence in that is implication points to in order to also address these particularly vulnerable migrants theres also an uptake of unaccompanied migrants unaccompanied minors im sorry. Its a very big problem lawrence not do appreciate your perspective on this in expertise thank you very much thank you i could date. Donald trump says hes not ruling out meeting venezuelas president Nicolas Maduro despite the u. S. Campaign to oust him the u. S. President also told the u. S. News website that hes having 2nd thoughts about recognizing the opposition leader. As venezuelas illegitimate president. Now a High Court Judge is in london hearing venezuelas bid to force the bank of england to release almost 2000000000. 00 of its gold the bank has held on to 31. 00 tons of venezuelan bullion for the past 2 years because of british and u. S. Sanctions president Nicolas Maduro says that gold is needed to buy health care cortlandt medicine and food during the coronavirus pandemic like many other countries supports the opposition they dont want quite a event is where they use some of its other gold reserves last month to pay for 45000000. 00 worth of iranian petrol and despite u. S. Sanctions on both countries. Poses principle analysts for country risk in the americas us markets and he joins us now from london mr compass welcome to the program so the question is will the courts allow them to do or administration to access as bullion well the 1st up to the term mean whether mother also administration has even the legitimacy to make such claims require where the u. K. Like the u. S. Like most e. U. And most loving american countries do not recognize you set me straight absolutely mint following allegations of fraud even that may need to solve any president ial elections one day she said till then the next step would be to determine whether. Gold can be or not. Been its central bank would you say under the control of most of ministration there isa now the. Central Bank Business where the Central Bank Board which is under the control of your position of government which is recognized by the u. K. So questions 1st of all is that is the court likely to come down on the side or secondly why why does it come down to the court to decide isnt it just up to the bank of england. The main problem is that the bank the bank of englands clacking east the bay in Switzerland Central Bank and theres a question in over which is that human board of the u. K. Again like the u. S. And most. Americans dont just do not recognize my guru after prescient they recognize one way though the head of venezuelas parliament the national somberly as the interim constitution oppress him and why because the National Assembly that is one of parliament is the only legitimately elected body even then its women so both ways though and my dural they both have a point that im the friend aboard for venezuela central but now the u. K. Only recognizes a story only recognizes way though as the legitimate enduring will to do should present openness well and the main problem basically when it comes to. Request eased he said many strange houses being linked wait a funding of terrorist groups for example which basically operate in the south and believers they try to mold in eagle gold mining we did dollar in soft top venezuelan c. V. T. And meet our officers also and members who are mothers of nice racial have been think we Drug Trafficking so. Sort of electrons very goal to mothers of ministration even the link with Drug Trafficking we target some funding could pose a Reputational Risk to the bank of england and the other problem is not administration have been systematically sending goal from a business where the central bank assholes will be in extracting gold but those funds have not been ok to do with them going through money during a crisis the minister but only used to sort of from rich up down government it leads. Right in greece repression against us even a book relation you know what about this this argument that the administration requires cash to fight the coronavirus pandemic and you can come and see that argument given the polish state of oil revenue in venezuela right now. Absolutely all the production has been systematically training along with all the Sea Oil Prices but the main problem eased the proceeds of the goal not much looser administration have in setting up growth asked not be not look at you with a ongoings your money down on prices in the form of fuel food Mission Shore yes or indeed we are looking to to strengthen the Public Health sector to deal. Most of the proceeds from the sale of gold again ive not entered venezuelan coal fired you know transparent way out only be used to repress. Our population so theres questioning over mother words capacity and transparency in dealing wheat money tarion aid and i think the toll so one of the main problems during terms of legitimacy but also in terms of the being is to transfer those funds throughout the ministration and yet these so many treasure when shes not being recognized by the u. K. By multiyear almost up you know american bone trees and i and one which has not been transparent man and even these phones i think of even they will be. Those fun these will be allocated for your money there in 8 years is weve not done it has been so far what has been going on and happening with some of the fun of the in the house you know kate in deal with your money there in crises in business where the dots go up this is the case. And the moment i just great to get your analysis on this diego moral compass appreciate that thank you thank you nico it was a pleasure just. Its mexicos last great tropical jungle but despite conservation efforts the rainforest is disappearing from us while the 90 percent is being destroyed and more is being lost every year and streets are cleared to make way for agriculture and livestock when repeller reports now from chapmans in southern mexico. This is the moment is a soulless jungle reserved 3312 square kilometers of unspoiled a tropical rainforest. That is this ecosystem is very bio dad was its home to need a hall full of both species in mexico and one 3rd of all mammals and butterflies stews but the loss has been immense more than 90 percent of the ecosystem we had has been lost and we dont know for a better sense of how much of the forest has been destroyed we plodded a flight path to survey the jungle near mexicos border with guatemala. Here Human Development has moved right to the edge of the forest and in many cases settlements are clearly visible far beyond the limits of the reserve evidence of the illegal exploitation of Natural Resources is also clear as day settlements like these are referred to as invasions by the indigenous like and whose presence here dates back hundreds of years and look at it in the park there and theyre trying to steal the land away the law comes on people do not agree with the normalization of this invasion the government should intervene and relocate them. The moment this is who is reserved is the heart of the luck and dont rain forest the largest in north america it represents the most important regulator of the climate in this region of the world were travelling along the loch and doing remember one of the most important waterways in this part of mexico scientists refer to this entire region as one big water factory 30 percent of all surface brush water found in mexico is produced by the like and dont rain forest. The like and dont hold any measurable wealth of Natural Resources for species like the scarlet macaw survival depends on the watchful eye of conservationists. One of the biggest threats rare animals face is from the illegal wildlife trade and. In the past there was a Large Population of macaws extending across several next. Can states but due to the destruction of the ecosystem this is now the last wild population found in the uk and in jungle. In 2018 the Mexican Government launched an initiative aimed at reducing before station by providing economic incentives for people who live near the edge of the jungle but for many here likely god you are these there are simply more money to be made raising cattle in which people have said that i should plant hardwood trees but i asked them how long would i have to wait for the tree to see in my children to school i feel more secure with my castle and if i need money tomorrow i just sell a cow. Like other threatened ecosystems in mexico and across the planet the future of this diminishing wilderness depends on the battle between the efforts of conservationists and the forces of development i. Want is a soulless biosphere reserve. Siberia is known for its harsh winters but a town that heatwave record younes can record a 38. 00 degrees celsius on saturday in the russian town within the Arctic Circle it has the most extreme temperature range in the world its winter low is minus 68. 00 degrees. Speaking of such matters jim is here with the weather and about extremes but the temperature on the rise in europe they are actually just so you know nick it should be about 16 degrees celsius in that particular town this time of year so that shows you just how much water right really is the you right temperatures are on the increase in europe but its not just that im afraid were also still talking about the rain particularly across the central and eastern areas and now it is that southern poland you can see here along the river it has burst its banks is not just this particular over the rain has been torrential in some areas and look at this this road has just been washed away now while still that is going on the wrist hate elsewhere and unfortunately that of course comes the downside this is the island of sicily people have been evacuated from their homes as a precaution more than anything else because this fire has been burning for 2 days they have been fighting it overseas by from the ad but also on the ground so weve got these clear skies across much the south throughout the med but really way can see this clear skies out across the west that is where the heat is building its an area of High Pressure so whats happening is the next system coming in from there actually in pushed up to the northwest impacting on in the u. K. But all this rain across Poland Ukraine belarus this will continue to fall calls on through choose a some very heavy downpours some strong thunderstorms in there and if these down poles that have caused the problems of washed away that particular road and you can see its not really much better by wednesday but the heat as i say it really is beginning to build some these temperatures and over the next few days when it comes to the average but lynn is warming up to 3011. 00 is also getting to 30 with an average of 21. 00 normally in june and actually paris is even warmer 33 on thursday against an average nick of 22 so yes summer is back in the form yeah western europe halting up thanks a lot thank you.

Serbias president alexander has declared what he described as a historic victory for his party in the countrys parliamentary election a number of opposition parties boycotted the poll saying it wouldnt be free or fair because a few churches control over the media nor about manly as a. Celebration but no surprise with a clear majority of the parliamentary election at. 13 president aleksander says its an historic victory for his ruling process. We want the greatest confidence from the people tonight the biggest ever in serbia in times when a few believe we can do it this is also a warning from our voters to be even more responsible and much more diligent and to get the best results for our people. All the. The president isnt up for election hes a leader of the center right Serbian Progressive Party thats been in power since 2012 hes also been the the helm for its Election Campaign as people voted in belgrade many say the president brewed a wave of popularity for his handling of the pandemic a Strict Lockdown was eased in early may the country has suffered only 260 deaths so far in a country of 7000000. He spent much of the lockdown making t. V. Appearances although ted couldnt move the school you know the old teacher i expect mr future as the leader of the Largest Political Party to begin a process to shift power from the hands of individuals to the institutions of the system so simple that those but i expect everything to be transparent and fair to be regular. But not all been happy the leading Opposition Party aligned society a point person who will be playing to lack of fair vote in the dish and several of us busy. Today serbia unequivocally said no to the regime of alexander virtue which tried normalities and madness which we have been exposed to in our previous years the boycott fulfilled its meaning its completely exposed the regime and today everyone can see what serbia looks like. Who teaches held many positions of power for ministry of information twice Prime Minister and then 2017 president. Which many took to the streets in the days of protest against the strictly accusing him of having no store tarion power and the media and all to his partys latest victory he has some challenging weeks ahead one is to solve the territorial dispute with kosovo and we had to to the been frozen for more than a year so obviously longstanding dispute with kosovo is considered to be standing in the way of belgrades ambition to join the e. U. Nor about money aljazeera. Canadian police of warned an exiled saudi dissident that his life may be in danger the Guardian Newspaper reports that abdul aziz was told hes a potential target of the saudi government he was wont to take precautions and dillards is was a close associate of the saudi journalist marcus argy who was killed by saudi operatives in turkey in 2018. Un special rapporteur on extrajudicial killings likeness kalama said on twitter that the report is not surprising she said that if there are not consequences for saudi arabia the kingdom will just continue to threaten and silence dissidents its also a question of why saudi arabia is being allowed to host an upcoming g 20 summit not his she me is the director of middle east studies at the university of denver he says these incidents will continue as long as saudi arabia does not face consequences from the international community. Its clear that the Saudi Crown Prince has learned nothing from the murder innocent person a shin of jamal which oji and hes once again on the prowl and this i think unless hes stopped it sends a message to all of thora terry regimes around the world that they can also imprison they can also intimidate and go after dissidents wherever they may be living the Saudi Crown Prince is acting like a schoolyard bully who will continue to act aggressively until there are consequences to his behavior and if you look back over the last roughly 2 years since the murder of jamal there have been really no serious consequences for the Saudi Crown Prince he continues to. Intimidate dissidents he continues to have very close relations not just with the trumpet ministration but with many other western liberal democracies that claim to uphold human rights none of them have taken a serious position they continue to sell arms to saudi arabia they continue to have work very warm relations and this november most of those leaders of western liberal democracies that claim to Uphold International Law and human rights will be traveling to riyadh for the g. 20 summit so i think this is part of the problem. There are concerns that freedom of expression is under threat in lebanon human Rights Groups say defamation laws are increasingly being used to silence critics they said least 100. 00 activists have been detained since protests began in october against the countrys economic crisis so how to reports now from beirut. It was a symbolic protest against laws that make it illegal to criticize politicians dozens gathered outside the justice palace in lebanons capital after a wave of arrests that began with the birth of a movement against the establishment since october at least 100 activists have been detained what happened since the seventys a little over it was a very big oppression campaign. Designed to suppress freedom of expression not in on this country has escalated recently they have been gathering outside police stations whenever an activist or protesters held at times they violently clash with Security Forces and more often than not its their campaign that secures a release among them michelle who was taken in for posting a video online criticizing president Bashar Al Assads leadership. People are committing suicide dying from hunger and deprived from their money in banks instead of searching for those who talk bad about you and ask why they are doing so all. Lebanese law criminalizes different nation against Public Officials with scepticism up to 2 years for insulting the presidency but Rights Groups say these laws are big used by the powerful against their critics their rates at which. Increased by more than 300 percent as the government as allegations of corruption began to surface and become our prominent and Public Discourse yes start to use wanted to crackdown on that. Protests against the Political Class accused of driving lebanons economy to. The ground recently turned into riots authorities are promising a tougher response when it comes to vandalism and planned to take what they called preemptive operations to prevent further violence this is raising concern among those demanding accountability and the change of leadership this is part of. The police day they are trying to implement even the Prime Minister said this is not a good option. Which is why you get to and it can be suppressed by the force those in power are being accused of creating an atmosphere of fear they may have intimidated some of their opponents theyre saying they refuse to be sacked 700. 8 children have drowned in a river in southwestern china that happened in the city of jong a Chinese State media say they drowned after one of them fell into a river and others jumped in to help bodies of the Elementary School students were recovered on monday morning. A top disease expert in china is expecting a big drop in corona virus infections in the capital by the end of the week there have been more than 230 cases in beijing since new outbreak at the start of june but just knowing new cases were reported on monday officials have put several neighborhoods into lockdown and avoided tests on high risk groups such as restaurant workers and food koreas. And talking of food china is suspended poultry imports from a factor in the United States where hundreds of employees tested positive for credit r us it is the latest in a growing number of outbreaks at Meat Processing plants around the world and lets take this all we can speak to simon clark units associate professor in the study in that microbiology at the university of reading joins us on skype from writing mr clarke welcome the program. The numbers are incredible they a 1000 cases at a slaughterhouse in germany in the u. K. 150 people got cave it at a Meat Processing plant in brazil the worlds biggest meat producer as a cluster of 400 cases how worried should we be about this apparent trend. Well this is something no authority is now going to have to look out properly it seems that the processing is here really because theyre typically refrigerate nature. Are going to be hot spots for current virus infections and it now incumbent. Local Health Authorities to check and see whether there is a problem is shes going to affect their products obviously if it does start has big implications but right so what could be happening here is it that somebody is infected and then theyre putting it on to a meat product which is then refrigerated in the nets its going to maintain the virus has maintained and kept alive and then passed on to somebody else who handles that subsequently how could it work were no i think more likely in the actual factory whats happening is that people are mixing its a cold environment we assume that the deer in cold environments will become susceptible to track viruses rather than the virus being more in fact it itself its it will set abilities. So theres presumably nixie they at they presumably have on locker rooms common county stuff like that which means that they mix more so no one guess is thats why these are our hot spots but the real thing you know but weve got to make sure that its not escaping those factories and making its way into the future right and so you said china suspended from what youre saying china suspending poultry imports from this factory in the United States although its cautious but probably not necessary i think you support a suspicion rather than a no no so its a precaution but an understandable right and so how would you set about finding out if it is getting into the food chain and how could that happen. Well it could happen be faithful coffins over the food and be stationed ready to do it anyway but youre after make sure all the proper ita drop out of procedures are in place in the factory and quite simply the authorities lot take race food to see whether they can expect it to take a virus if it is simple as that and its all conjecture but is it possible that if you are exporting Meat Products fresh Meat Products thousands of miles from the United States to china that the virus could survive on those Meat Products if thats where it is if its refrigerated reach it really its every trial yes but its its not a given we dont really know. About this virus for about 6 months so we still are learning an awful lot. And what about fruit and vegetables because that would be something that would come into contact with the mass public certain situations in the high street and so forth again and said theres a possibility there isnt theres a possibility with anything yes friedan vegetables i mean vegetables you often cook a lot of them and think and you peel things as well so. That not going to be. Much threat to anybody and neither will be very few people eat will eat. Its often cooked so. You know cooking and eating things will afford a significant protections bottom line is be being cautious but the chances are it is being passed on through the ways that we all know about already yes i suspect so i space person to person transmission within the factory all right simon clark associate professor in sunny let microbiology thanks very much thank you. Now germany is seeing a rise in the rate of transmission of corona virus and thats enough and dominant cane has more from ban it. For the past few days the reproduction rate of the corona virus the our rate has been climbing across the country in part due to localized outbreaks that have taken place in several different states notably in berlin but elsewhere too where many cases have been reported but they are localized they are confined to particular places in those areas the reason that this rising number matters is clear the government for much of the past few months has placed great reliance on the science on the numbers behind corona always stressed thing that the important thing was to keep the r. Rate below one if possible in other words that each new infected person would infect fewer than one other person well now the rate is almost at 3 but the fact that it is localized means that ministers have so far at least not responded with any kind of action regarding this rising number the other thing to say here of course is that otherwise apart from where these localized outbreaks have taken place there are few signs of rises of new infections and that sort of things that the overriding feeling at least in so far as the reporting of this is concerned is that so far because its a localized outbreak this is not its not being treated as being as worrying perhaps from an official perspective as had this happened at the start of the outbreak back in march. A warning that the credit Virus Outbreak could spin out of control in south sudan the United Nations says the number of infections there is growing rapidly there are nearly 1900 cases but that number could be higher the Charity Action against hunger worries the prime demick will make the situation in the country worse the Health System has been weakened by years of conflict and before the outbreak almost half the population was going hungry. Myself as a health practitioner. Breakspear seeing the symptoms for over 4 days with the difficulty in grazing i was rushing to look for the. Good it was feeling labor day with the coverage in 1000 reality unlike the beginning of this year our capacity to respond has drastically. Been reduced because of social distancing reality the capacity. Of the bits that we can provide in hospital that we support into a bar or a cobol were reduced by 30 percent. While in the wake of the pandemic the greek city of wrath ends is keeping social distancing in mind as it looks to open for the summer tourist season officials have decided to turn over a portion of the streets to pedestrians and to cyclists explains why. Every night city workers squeezing traffic into fewer lanes here on policy steam you one of the things broadest central avenues crews are reclaiming half the street surface and giving it to pedestrians and cyclists many are already moving in greece is trying to lure back tourists and that means more people on the streets of its capital to avoid congestion the city has designed a pedestrian grand tour on reclaimed road surface linking all the citys monuments the idea is to help but streams maintain the proper distancing required to avoid infecting each other with covert 19 the city says a lockdown caused by the pandemic was another reason to act now. Chris will be thinking that by libbys the pandemic acted as a catalyst for the pilot phase were freeing up space in the city center that means 7 kilometers of walkways and 3 kilometers of basco lanes this has an effect on traffic we chose this time to test those if it is the idea of a pedestrian grand tour linking all of the citys ancient monuments was floated ahead of the 2004 athens olympics resulting in this pedestrianisation at the foot of the acropolis but the tour was never finished the city says covert 19 now makes its completion necessary many here have welcome to the change. Spends up to 14 hours a day selling newspapers in the city center im just going to get done by going to my mother bother me when i go home at night and take a shower so much dark comes off me says that ive been working on a construction site its because of all the car exhausts and my nerves are so frayed from the street noise and i want total quiet. Theres only one downside while this project will cost 30. 00 to 60000000. 00 much greater costs will ensue city officials think with fewer cars on the street public transport ridership will rise by nearly a 3rd athens will need about a 1000 new buses to restore its fleet to full strength after years of austerity following the Global Financial crisis of 2008 but a 2 month lockdown during the pandemic has reminded people here that the quality of life that comes with having more pedestrian lanes can make up for financial loss jumps at all plus aljazeera athens. So that. A massive not real madrid in League Title Race will have all the details just met. The old. School. Tough sport of his for nick thank you so much nascar has launched an investigation after a new switch found in the garage stall of Bubba Wallace the only black driver in the u. S. Racing organization that is was found on sunday before the race in alabama was cancelled due to poor weather nasser called the act heinous and pledged do Everything Possible to find out who was responsible and eliminate them from the sport just 2 weeks ago wallace successfully campaigned to get the Confederate Flag banned from all racing benyus the move came amid global protests against the death of george floyd in Police Custody wallace wrote on his twitter page todays despicable act of racism and hatred least me incredibly saddened and serves as a painful reminder of how much further we have to go as a society this will not break me i will not give in nor will i back down just hours before the race was meant to happen a Confederate Flag with the banner defined nascar was flown above the talladega racetrack flags were also being sold outside the venue in protest against the ban nascar has not yet said how it will handle the situation over more on this story were joined by u. S. Sports broadcaster Michael Carlson whats the importance of both wallace and nascar stance on banning the Confederate Flag. Its hugely important for a couple of reasons and because the main one being that nascar is a particularly southern centric sports car racing in the states has always been biggest in the states of the former confederate city and there has been a feeling for many years that the Confederate Flag as a symbol of rebellion or of history or whatever is out of place in general American Society and i think you get a good idea of what it truly stands for by the idea that someone would leave a noose in his in his team on his car symbol of lynching symbol of the years of jim crow in the United States and Violence Toward black men you know ever since those slaves were freed in 865 and why is the Confederate Flag big deal in relation to nascar. Well as i said nascar is predominantly southern theyre following their core following comes from guys who were literally running bootleg liquor against revenuers you know and then it turned into a kind of organized activity and in the south the flag is seen as a symbol of some would say lost cause its the continued rebellion against the the rest of the United States which is opposed to self on the south after the civil war but more and more it is come to be this symbol of White Supremacy of black Rights Violations and when Bobby Wallace who as you said is the only full time driver in nascar who is black campaigned against that nascar very sensibly. Took his side and banned to contest federal flags at their tracks and when that plane that you referenced flew over dragging a Confederate Flag behind it nascar put out a picture of the sky over talladega put the plane was blocked out by 2 hands shaking hands one white and one black which i thought was a pretty powerful visual response to that act ok how damaging do you think this incident will be to nascars brand image. Thats a really good question because nascar attendance and t. V. Viewership has been falling somewhat in the past few years and its hard to determine whether thats a result of just lessened interest in their core area or whether its that by expanding into the rest of the United States and theyre trying really hard to spread stock car racing into other areas of america whether that still looted the product somewhat or creates a lack of interest over all by banning the Confederate Flag theyre saying that were moving to a position that is acceptable through the whole United States to people of all races and to people from all parts of the country and whether that further avenge their core audience in the south remains to be seen ok Michael Carlson thank you so much for your time thank you.
