The 7 Transitional Council says it continues to support the nationwide cease fire which is just been extended by a month a declaration of autonomy and a state of emergency adds to the uncertainty for yemenis people really suffered years of hunger and war and exam ryan al jazeera. Catherine shocked him as head of the Yemen Department a next Century Foundation its a peace building a think tank in london she says the declaration of self rule is a reflection of the political reality in yemen. This south yemen has ate for independence for decades now. And i think that its actually becoming about just now only because. Of the situation and the war in yemen since 2015 so they were able to realize their political ambition and so critical determination i think the main issue. May have at this moment has to do with the fact that in fact. Had the government heidi is in reality hoss lost whatever legitimacy you may have had at some point and we need to remember that the legitimacy that he ever had was in fact that was given by the International Community because there was an understanding that if if he wasnt actually supported by the International Community then defacto sovereignty would fall onto the hersey movement and so had he was propped up and kept in power even though it was only that to transition yemen into intern the other political era following i have a lesser less demise china is claiming another milestone in its battle with corona virus it says all patients have now been discharged from hospitals in rwanda the original epicenter of the Pandemic Health officials also say theyve now gone 11 Straight Days with no new deaths in china 100. 00 ported more than half of the countrys total cases and nearly 85 percent of the National Death toll City Residents are still being tested regularly despite a relaxation of lockdown rules in hong kong several clark says china is now looking to deploy medical resources to a border region near russia. This is the epicenter of the initial corona Virus Outbreak and of course engendering we saw this particular city sealed off was in general 23 when live 11000000 people went into lockdown for about 3 or so months it was only when the numbers started to drop that they lift that particular lock down so in january february at the peak of this particular Virus Outbreak in we had we had the likes of thousands of cases being reported on a daily basis of course we had accounts for half the National Total of coronavirus cases in china and 3 quarters of chinas deaths but instead of we had the medical efforts are now being deployed elsewhere weve got the cases on sunday a National Health commissions report of 11 cases and 5 of those have come from a particular region in the north of the country thats an area called Heilongjiang Province and this particular province borders russia its about 4000 kilometer a border there and as a result this is now the new battleground because of the cases of the surge in infections in that particular region weve got a number of cities that been put in lockdown weve got public transport its been postponed or held for a period of time and this type quarantine restrictions in a number of those cities and we also have mandatory testing for all arrivals coming from russia into china certainly china is now looking to deploy medical teams to this particular region as it sees a surge in the number of cases. There is a professor in the school of politics and International Relations at the university of nottingham he says the Chinese Communist party is doing everything it can to shield itself from any blame for whats happening. The Chinese Communist party holds. A quote unquote monopoly of truth and that means. The communist party basically by default whatever they say must be true and whatever is reported that kind of counters the official narrative by default must be false and saw based on this understanding i think its quite clear that we must not trust the carpet 19 statistics coming out of Mainland China we need to be quite careful when we draw like comparisons to other countries its all good to hold for example the british and u. S. Government to account for their lets say a belated response and i think that criticism is being articulated day by day but when it comes to Mainland China. It this is the origin of the corona Virus Outbreak and this is of course something that secretary sitting is. Perhaps ashamed ops and so the highest it has been going into all the drives to kind of deflect criticism of this fact and theyre now increasing reports that. Conspired is actually orchestrating a global this Information Campaign courageous chinese citizens are attempting to kind of break through censorship but unfortunately just yesterday we learned that. Some volunteers in china would try to document what really happened in la and that theyve been harassed by the authorities and so lets bear in mind Health Professionals who just wanted to share information with other professionals like dr levy when young they they couldnt speak their mind and on his deathbed he said china should no longer have censorship and citizen journalists would try to report from the front lines like to ensure sure neither of us they were immediately caught and and gagged.

This is a big relief after 43. 00 days of Strict Lockdown children under 14 are able to go out for a walk only for one hour one kilometer away from their home and back and with one adult each adult can take at least 3 up to 3 kids of the same family so what weve seen today the big picture in spain have been all these parents with the kids with their bicycles with the scooters weve seen plenty of Police Patrolling drones warning all the parents and the kids to keep to keep the save safe safety distancing and. Plenty of kids and all the parks are closed in spain on the playgrounds of course so the access is impossible so these kids have to to exercise or to walk with their own by their own means and with the pens so that minister yesterday he said that if this continues this slowdown trend continues according to 2 ministers sources in the past 34 hours we were just at the lowest death toll. In a month 288 new fatalities in the past 24 hours and 1700 new infections if this trend continues next week and we can see now to sect to exercise individually so we might have one of the pictures well the coronavirus lockdown has provoked a protest on the border between germany and poland by people complaining because it across many of polish commuters who work in germany poland has been a long time since mid march a mandatory to recall and to for anyone who enters has also been imposed and germanys in berlin and stood guard have demanded the easing of the lockdown chanting slogans such as i want my life back protesters complain that the restrictions at a violation of their fundamental rights while Police Detained more than 100 people.
