Brazils president has announced that hes tested positive for corona virus jailable so now it was taken to a Military Hospital on monday after coming down with a fever also not has been widely criticized for refusing to wear a mask in public and for ignoring social distancing rules global view a kid in my syllabus 30 year everybody knew that sooner or later a significant part of the population would get it it happened im an example myself if i hadnt taken the test i wouldnt have known the result and it turned out positive i just got a positive result yes its positive so it all began on sunday when i started feeling slightly ill and it worsen. On monday i felt tired with muscle pain and had a fever that reached 38 degrees ok lets go to hossa massud. Paulo haas and just bring us up to date with how people there are reacting to the news that the president whos avoided Wearing Masks and social distancing for so long now has covered 19. Yet people here are divided the. Brazilians are praying for the president saying that president bush will be stronger than the virus and the other part of the brazilians are repeating the same words to go used since the. Arrival of the virus to brazil and he said that the virus is a group. Which means that it is just a simple flu and the. Brazilians here part of them are repeating this this word and its a hash tag no onto it and the same time also people. Who are against the president saying that this is of. Interest possibility that president was taking and was. Moving here in brazil he didnt accept a lot of the measures that. The governors took here in brazil and of the same time also. Organization of the World Organization that they said about the quote in a virus. He didnt accept what is until. I was elation he asks for a vertical isolation that just take that people who are in this. Category all only as to be isolated but the people may continue life normally about president is also. 65 years old so he is in the risk category also and he had the virus but at the same time not all confirmed that his house is good he is feeling fine and that he. He said that he will be the vitus and he will continue his work from the palace that is events of the president here in brazil through Video Conference he said that he is using that or secure a queen as a treatment he started to take the cloak of queen since yesterday when the symptoms appear on the president and he made that the. Military hospital. Was post of the house and the country has been without a Health Minister for several weeks now do you think that there is a sense that his own personal experience is going to change the president s approach to how the coronavirus is handled in brazil. In his announcement today president. Repeated the same words that he was saying all the time he said that only that people who are in risk must stay at all must take care more. Brazil must get back to work so he didnt made a lot of differences after he was infected and at the same time he stepped back from the journalists and while he was giving his announcement and took a mask of the facial mask and he said that everybody can see my face and. Im fine and i can continue my life. But yesterday when he made that he said for his alignments that you must step. Back and i cant be more closer to you because i made that so maybe he will change his mind about measures of virus and and controlling coronavirus in. Brazil but at the same time who who is it is sponsible to take the measures are the governors of the states here in brazil not the federal government you know imagine that many people in brazil are going to be watching the health of the president very closely in the next few weeks masoud life for us and so paula thank you very much indeed it was it also was a hunger is a Brazilian Affairs political analyst and author he says the ball so not administration might already be trying to spin this story in a way thats beneficial for the president. I hope he gets healthy that thats not what this is about since last night hes being asking his supporters to stand that way to keep this insane so hes been taking his a little bit more seriously than he was months ago when when the whole social distancing started his going to take a lot of heat from it but then again if he can get healthy you know with the amount of fake news and of discourse that we been getting from this administration. Hes probably just going to say hes betting on his his doctors that the Health System is sound and surround and that everyone should keep calm and things will be fine. But the fact that hes claiming that hes taking a drug to clerical and and for all that the president has done in this year and i have i do not trust him i do not trust the releases that come out of his recession so i dont know what kind of drugs hes taking or not taking there is sound scientific device not to take locrian at this stage of the disease so you know i also fear that by claiming that hes taking clerical that out of people will. And that he can have and the fires effect on the population i hope for the best i hope that he starts Wearing Masks and starts taking this thing more seriously. I also see how care how his own research can spin this news into something that is better to things is politically better for him. The u. S. Drone strike in january that killed a top iranian general hossam salon it was unlawful thats the conclusion of the United Nations special rapporteur on extrajudicial killings Agnes Kalamata says the killing went against the u. N. Charter in january the white house said the attack and some money was carried out at the direction of u. S. President donald trump and was aimed at deterring future attacks allegedly being planned by iran our diplomatic editor james bays is that the United Nations and has more on the report well its a damning report from Agnes Kalamata who is the special report turn as you say on extrajudicial killings worth explaining what that is its an independent expert who is appointed by the Human Rights Council and these reports where she investigates cases of possible extradition killing are then reported back to the u. N. Human Rights Council remember that the u. N. Human Rights Council is not a u. N. Body that the trumpet ministration already look favorably on they pulled out of the un Human Rights Council in 2018 and so i suspect if there is going to be a response from the trumpet ministration it will be an angry response the u. S. Position they say theyve made very clear in a letter they submitted to the Security Council 5 days after the killing of general saddam on need the iranian strategic expert and commander. In which they said it was a case of selfdefense because of the possibility of imminent strikes but in her report Agnes Keller Maher says that there is no evidence that he was planning an imminent attack against u. S. Interests so she says therefore on the basis of the information provided by the u. S. And of course she doesnt have access to any classified intelligence information she believes this was a breach of the u. N. Charter a breach of international law.

Group of firing artillery into civilian areas with no apparent military objective and for torturing and executing detainees. Weve come to the conclusion the attacks by the program of forces were so this systematic and and designed to force the population to move on in the foreseeable transfer of populations is a is a crime against humanity so we think that again we have. Both acquired proGovernment Forces and by. Terrorist organizations we seem pillaging looting happening which again. Well William Lawrence is a senior are junk professor at the american universitys school of International Service in washington d. C. And hes joining us from there via skype thank you very much indeed for joining us on aljazeera ive just been reading the precis of the u. N. Report on the uns website and it does make some horrendous reading but what is the difference between this kind of attack and what would normally happen and for want of a better phrase regular warfare. The main statement at the report made this as you said its a very demanding and detailed d report. Mostly it is in the Syrian Government of well over 95 percent of the emblematic of taxes on its about is that it says its unbelievable and its there were no nearby military targets it was no rationale and even worse it says that there is a warring logic its a worrying strategy by the Syrian Government with its russian. Backing in all these operations to target civilians on purpose 17 attacked them military facilities. As well as schools and and night markets that we were at reverse that but this is their a game works and it they report it since that it will be up. Prosecutions coming crimes against humanity so this is a process here documents or crimes and this is that when you were in a series that started the beginning or as you say there have been so many reports that have been producing very similar types of scenarios with with very horrific details and yet were still waiting for people to be brought to justice for people to be identified as responsible for this can you just talk us through what the process is and frankly what the likelihood is of actually being able to bring prosecutions against anybody. Well its never done shit were its never done it in real time its usually mostly that is over but you cant do the documentation and the evidence gathering up. And so its the onslaught sloppier its a long slow process but eventually you often do get to dance of the leaders d and arrest warrants were out trials happen when people can be arrested after the arrest says you know im certain are in some cases or 1015 years after the incidents happen there is a track Record International court now prosecutions only are sensible particularly with this think of that i think in the short term you werent always simply to push back the violence thats going on in trying to name shane actors into doing less of the violence and now there are cell references for example to cluster munitions and thats a direct finger pointing at the russians a lot of whats a barrel bombs and other instruments of terrorist war and the hope is that its in shane the science into for example renegotiating inning cease fires and deescalating areas thats on can really do shit i really appreciate your giving us that context working lawrence thank you very much indeed more on coronavirus pandemic and 5000000 australians who live in the countrys 2nd largest city melbourne are going back into locked on and off to a resurgence in corona virus infections the victorian State Government says the tough measures are the only way to keep the outbreak from spiraling out of control they could gauge reports from the capital camera.

K. Exports were violating International Humanitarian law charlie anja has more from london. Over a year ago a British Court ordered the u. K. To stop the new licenses of arms sales to saudi and to review the decisions surrounding preexisting ones that review is now concluded its taken over a year and the government is saying while there were possible breaches of International Humanitarian law these were exceptions and not a pattern its not clear what methodology they used it certainly contradicts that u. N. Panel of experts who found widespread possible war crimes in the conflict between saudi and yemen and its not clear how many isolated incidents it would take to constitute a patent but the u. K. Has concluded that the saudi government is demonstrating a commitment to comply with International Humanitarian door and i quote there is therefore no clear risk that arms and military equipment exported to saudi might be used in serious contraventions of International Humanitarian law so what this means is the government is now going to be processing that backlog of orders from saudia includes a multimillion dollar deal for typhoon fighter jets and earlier i spoke to the campaign against arms trade who really spearheaded the original case against the government they said they are baffled by this decision theyve theyve described it as morally bankrupt and reprehensible that they said that their lawyers and now going to be looking into ways to challenge it around half a 1000000 japanese people have been advised to leave their homes because of floods and landslides at least 50 people have died during 3 days of heavy rain on the Southwest Island of cuba japans government is doubling rescue operations on sleep reports.
