We work very hard to get the truck viral transmission rate down we dont want to see it go up because a lot of people come into this region and they could literally bring the infection with them the. Infection rate formula will be 10 per 10000187 day rolling average or 10 percent of the total population positive on a 7 day rolling average so any state that has an infection rate above that would require a 14 day quarantine as of today the states that are above that level are alabama arkansas zona florida North CarolinaSouth Carolina washington utah texas thats as of today well for weeks floridas governor defended his states reopening plans and resisted making mosques compulsory but on wednesday run to scientists that knowledge the scale of the infections what were seeing in florida is really Rapid Transmission in that 18 to 34 age group and youre seeing a lot of cases come up and granted they werent being tested at this at this at this level a couple months ago but i also think theyre testing positive at a higher and higher rate a plan by israel to annex possibly occupied west bank has been condemned by the United Nations secretary general as a most serious of International Law. Has appealed to israel to change its mind while the arab league is warning that if it doesnt that could be a religious war and i think that its a james bays reports from u. N. Headquarters in new york. With the clock ticking towards the july deadline for an extension of the u. N. Secretary general made his position to the Security Council extremely clear if implemented and accession of course to the most serious violation of International Law. Grievously harmed the prospect of a 2 state solution and the cut the possibilities of a new will of negotiations i call on the Israeli Government will ban its an exception class Palestinian Foreign minister riad el maliki says the israel of Benjamin Netanyahu doesnt believe its bound by International Norms or laws israel things as has been its experience so far that it will not be fined or passed in its millions that Security Council resolutions are binding for Others International course have jurisdiction over others sanctions are full others israels ambassador danny de known went back in history to justify an accession. Everything more that led the people in the well i will. Finally go there into the land of israel we dont live in the land yeah that one of. The jews here believe and accept that its not really the. Land but the vast majority 14 out of 15 members of the Security Council following more recent history the councils own resolutions when israel took East Jerusalem the west bank and gaza in the 1967 war the Security Council declared in numerous subsequent resolutions that these were occupied territories since then large parts of this Palestinian Land has been taken over by Israeli Settlers but this is the 1st time in 52 years that israel has come close to declaring sovereignty and taking permanent political control its never been our internet to impose a solution the only country that could stop it is close ally the Us Ambassador kelly craft said little on the issue of annexation but speaking at the same time as her in washington d. C. Her boss the u. S. Secretary of state was clearer this isnt about it really to extend its sovereignty the question is are. You really just make some might see that as a green light for israel certainly israel is now in the driving seat its not clear if it will actually carry out an exception and if it does when it will take place and how much of the west bank will be annexed james aljazeera of the United Nations well in a moment well hear from leader abraham in the Jordan Valley whos been speaking to one of the palestinian Prime Ministers advisers 1st though how the force that in a western loosely explains how the initial stages of the annexation could look. A lot of the scrutiny here will be on exactly what is happening in the United States among senior u. S. Officials in washington d. C. They are. Meeting this week to discuss exactly how much and what will be greenlighted if its all in terms of the annexation the signals certainly have been pretty positive but there was talk from the u. S. Ambassador kelly croft during this meeting she said that it took courageous israeli leadership to make of a hard choice is required so does that mean that they will require something of Benjamin Netanyahu in terms of acknowledging publicly that this is part of a trump plan which also as part of it contains a palestinian state something that might be harder for him to sell to his right wing supporters here in israel and also d talking about holding the palestinian leadership accountable is that another attempt to try and get the palestinians to hold talks and potentially stave off an accession talks based on the trump plan which theyve utterly rejected because of the annexation it also includes in the huge loss of territory within the occupied west bank that would result i think its very late in the day to try and make those sorts of appeals over there are reports that they have been made through various channels to the palestinian leadership what is much more likely seems to be a coalescing of opinion around a limited potentially to start with at least a phased annexation. Pretext that im going to be like that to me was a bit like their poor the palestinian Prime Minister 3 times over going to exact. Quote. You. Actually missed the pentagon on mentioned a fuel at the National Reserve lucians. By the. United nations that mentioning that israeli state should. Start but he didnt mention hundreds of positions for the United Nations about that and to give a shit about establishing a palestinian state also about that if you could get a good message we didnt reject any opportunity we were able and we are motivated to start negotiations at this i mean moment if this is according to the International Law and united dissenters the us is on to that a good deed and signed agreements between us i was a list signed agreements what was that. Security economy of the ballistics and was it a leech only on line agreements its a dish only what i have decided i was able to look.

But historically indonesia never signed the 959. 00 convention on refugees but this country does have a history all except being refugees and all the refugees so human rights organizations are appealing to the Central Government to intervene to Say Something to allow these refugees to stay in indonesia of course part of the reason for that Strong Demand is that a number of these refugees which children we believe at least were children and our sources tell us that a number of them appear to be around the age of 3 or 4 so we will continue to monitor the situation and hope to hear from the Central Government.

Thursday is the 70th anniversary of the start of the korean war which technically at least never officially ended tributes are planned not only on the divided peninsula but in many of the countries who were drawn into the conflict reports from seoul. Events to remember those killed 70 years ago and the veterans who have died since i have a particular poignancy this anniversary.

They showed us how to shoot a rifle a few times and then send a separate hill to go into battle we spend the next 3 months in the trenches. The war lasted 3 years with millions of chinese troops importing the north and a multinational u. N. Force led by the us supporting the south. To this day theres been no formal end to the war only an armistice in spite of attempts to secure one most recently during improved into korean relations. Peace is a right that we korean citizens deserve to relish making a peaceful Korean Peninsula with no chance of yet another war is a duty by the people upon the state estimates vary but as many as 3000000 people are thought to have died in the korean war around half of them civilians thats a disproportionately heavy toll that means the wars legacy is still felt just as keenly 7 decades on in both koreas north and south. Surviving veterans in the south complained of insufficient pensions and many feel abandoned by the country they helped save. It was our sweat and sacrifice that led to victory and to the Remarkable Development of our country.
