Benjamin netanyahu is where the protest before so called black flag activists have waged a years Long Campaign against what they call his anti democratic rule but in the last 2 weeks the protests have changed and grown as israelis buckling under a 2nd wave of coronavirus turn their anger on the government. Netanyahu has admitted to reopening the economy too quickly allowing gatherings of too many people others point to the governments failure to expand the system of testing and tracing is the 1st wave leaving it ill equipped to stop the 2nd author and journalist Roden Bergman has investigated that Decision Making he says the Health Ministry went against expert advice you need to know as soon as possible if their purse is not there. That person immediately after he is they the fight is suspicion so is the suspect so if if you do not been sharing of infection he goes on and on if you are not able to cut it the government itself said it needed a 48 hour turnaround from suspected case to test results even now its taking 6. 00 to 8. 00 days the concern now is that its simply too late in terms of testing to catch up with the sheer scale of this 2nd wave israels missed opportunity on testing and tracing is now being seen as part of a wider political failure to tackle the pandemic under pressure the Prime Minister has been announcing measures only to announce them from a 1750000000. 00 package of cash handouts 1st universal now means tested too in order to close restaurants postponed within hours to weekend closures of beaches and pools reversed within days the one constant is insistence on avoiding a 2nd full lockdown because. Ive requested each ministries plan for a safe exit from the current virus restrictions meaning that if we straighten the coven reach the goals that we see it for the determine number of cases per day that we can work with over time in the coronavirus routine. But the head spinning policy shifts have undermined belief in a Prime Minister also on trial in 3 separate Corruption Cases one survey this month put public trust in him at just 29 percent and the problem that. Theres really this back and that its not creating trust and trust is groucho. In order to move ahead because its a long term situation where theyre talking about trustees both thrust of the public and trust of experts just weeks ago netanyahu had squashed the 1st wave of coded 19 and neutralized his most serious political rival benny gantz inside an Emergency Coalition now hes fighting to beat down a resurgent virus and restore his diminishing Political Capital are a force at aljazeera television. U. S. President ronald trump has warned that the corona Virus Outbreak is likely to get worse before it gets better its a mark departure from the optimistic picture hes projected so far even as cases continue to rise in many of the u. S. States mike hanna has more from washington d. C. In the past president himself as americas cheerleader making rosy predictions about the course of the pandemic that were often at odds with the facts but this was a more subdued president than on previous occasions it will probably unfortunately get worse before it gets better something i dont like saying about things but thats the way it is and a complete reversal on the use of mosques something that in the 1st few months of the pandemic the president often derided at one stage even expressing support for anti mosque protests in a number of states this too it seems a thing of the past i have no problem with the masks i view it this way anything that potentially can help and that certainly can potentially help is a good thing i have no problem i carry it i wear it you saw me wearing it a number of times and ill continue if there were some familiar claims that the u. S. Is leading the world in testing and that its mortality rate is lower than anywhere both assertions declared false by most Health Experts and little comment about a startling report from the centers for Disease Control it says the official figure of some 3600000. 00 cases of coronavirus in the u. S. Is dramatically less than what it now is to mates could be as many as 38000000 cases. Its not clear whether the president s new embrace of reality rests in recognition not because such as these or whether hes seeking to reverse what are politically damaging polling figures about the publics view of the way hes handled the crisis. Aljazeera washington a. T. O. Peres says its reached its yearly filling target for the grander nestles down after weeks of heavy rain that says the governments been Holding Virtual meetings with its downstream neighbors promising to continue talks to find a solution to the dispute over the megaproject charles traffic reports on the complex regional politics surrounding the dam. Its taken 10 years to build and cost close to 5000000000. 00 ethiopias flagship Infrastructure Project is a great source of national pride. But a grand ethiopian renaissance dam on the blue nile has caused tension with downstream countries sudan and egypt from the start be coping government says the hydroelectric dam is vital for the development of this immense landlocked country which has a population of around 108000000 the country plans to expulsion electricity across the region and says the dam will stop seasonal flooding in neighboring sudan. But egypt says there are a number of outstanding legal issues that need resolving and filling the reservoir too quickly could reduce its water supply and may pose an existential threat egypt does have legitimate concerns i mean that egypt relies on the nile for 0. 90 of its fresh water needs and the largest share of the river runs through each 3 different territory and what we have has had in egypt is a situation where they have a significant gap between the amounts of water they produce and the amount of water they can shoot. And with a rapidly growing population of over 100000000. To this problem only getting worse ethiopia also has strong claims because its the source of the blue nile the largest of the river gnarls tributaries if you appeal was never included in a colonial era agreement between egypt and sudan the gives the lions share of water to egypt there are many finally balance calculations including internal political ones that reply you know if you dont really need the other big you have id be out madhav uncomment power in 2018 he wants to secure his position and you know be reelected in future elections in europe yeah in egypt you have president sisi with you know an economy that has had been struggling but also he needs to ensure that he has the continued backing of the military establishment country which of course has an Important Role in the. Economy. In late june ethiopia rejected a u. N. Security Council Meeting requested by egypt saying the council should not be involved at all ethiopias u. N. Ambassador said the dispute should be solved at a regional Level African Union talks hosted by Science Africa failed to food you agree much earlier that months in february the u. S. And the world bank mediated what it hoped would be a road map on how to proceed with final technical and legal issues which concerned egypt in particular but he v. O. P. Did not sign the final document ethiopia always said that it would have preferred agreement before it begins to fill the reservoir but if that wasnt possible it would go ahead anyway it just potential huge security implications for the entire region ethiopia accuses egypt of repeatedly dragging its feet over the issue of filling the reservoir something it says egypt knew would be inevitable one day charles stratford.

President donald trump has warned the corona Virus Outbreak is likely to get worse before it gets better hes now urging the public to wear masks and hes promised to deliver the vaccine as soon as possible. Nearly 2 dozen potential vaccines for corona virus around the various stages of human testing worldwide at least 2 are being conducted in brazil country where the worlds 2nd worst outbreak one is a chinese made drug thats being tested on 9000. 00 volunteers the other one is being developed by Oxford University and its also begun testing and sao paulo there is a poll reports. Beneath have branches was one of the 1st brazilians to receive the oxford vaccine against 19 shes a dentist in a hospital in her exposure to the virus and they need to prevent the spread of the disease is what made her want to become a volunteer for the Clinical Trials this case would be of us since receiving this vaccine i have had no adverse effects no symptoms or reactions i keep a clinical diary for the researchers and inform them of my temperature i continue working with the same level of exposure to the virus and working full time providing full assistance to this covert patient. Last month the oxford trials got underway in 3 faces and the brazilian government has signed a letter of intention to have access to around 100000000. 00 doses but its not the only vaccine that is being tested on monday the gov of so powerful an ounce 20000 seen a vaccine from china had arrived in brazil sparky testing is now underway and is expected to last for 3 months this is to the control up of moores this study is controlled by the institute of brew turn turn were not just participating it will become an open study since we have the 1st evidence on the efficacy of this vaccine amat will allow us to bring the vaccine to the brazilian people quick 3 we have the possibility to become the 1st country in the world to use this vaccine on a large scale so this is a historical moment. More than 2000000 people are infected with the virus in brazil and it has killed at least 80000 others while the testing could one day prove promising some consumer groups awarded to brazil could be left out and thats why there are calls to vote on a law on compulsory licensing only licenses and believe that a large scale access and pursue should adopt a license and especially the love you. First. Congress which is. To. Change which is i love you that says that each and every technology use. To depend demick. I should check it to. Compulsory license in other words its nice that no technology should be under monopoly but many say its unlikely that government on the night i would support the law because he has downplayed the threat of covert 19 brazil is a country of over 200000000 people at that scene is crucial to help save lives.

S. Launched air strikes in baghdad killing Iranian Military commander. Must offer them a way into tehran a gets a point out that iraq would not be a battlefield for iran and the u. S. But also aware that iran is crucial to iraqs security as well as its Financial Recovery from the pandemic. From the iraqi people always aspired to exceptional bilateral cooperation based on Mutual Respect and without any intervention in Domestic Affairs we fought against isis and other terrorist groups and iran was the 1st to stand by our side and this cannot be forgotten. While the coronavirus means the visit was socially distant both sides wanted to emphasize the closeness in their relationship more to my own house i am confident that this visit will prove to be a turning point in expanding ties between the 2 countries of iran and iraq that are 2 friends and your brothers was. How to me chose regional rivals iran and saudi arabia for his 1st trip since taking power in may another one of the careful balancing act in office a former intelligence chief became laid it with the support of both washington and tehran after months of political.
