Prisoners from a gentle penitentiary taken to a local hospital and dozens of them. Hurt after a shootout at the prison located in the city of one addy around 450 kilometers away from us relatives were anxiously waiting outside. It i must say that and we want to know what really happened to our relatives weve been waiting since noon and we still dont know anything human rights representatives have not turned up or anything like you want to know what happened. Pictures shown in local media show dozens of inmates dead the government says they were trying to escape but human Rights Groups say they were protesting for food and want a full investigation into what happened. Since venezuela imposed a lockdown to prevent the spread of covert 1000 visiting rights have been suspended prisoners rely on their relatives for food and medicines. But its not just in venezuela and rest has been on the rise in latin america on saturday in my now state capital of the state of a mass on as prisoners kidnapped 7 guards. Then set the prison on fire or 30 say they were trying to distract Security Forces to dig a tan and then escape the incident lasted for about 5 hours. This operation was a success we had several hostages and all of them are alive there were no casualties on the police side in which there were people injured but nothing serious no. Violence is a regular occurrence in brazilian prisons as rival gangs fight for control. But the situation is different this time prisons 11 america are overcrowded and lacks any taishan a ticking time bomb for the spread of colvin 1000. Whats going on is that prisoners are afraid because prisons are overcrowded conditions are bad in brazil for example there is no Running Water so how can you ask inmates to wash their hands restricting visitors is also a problem because its a lifeline for inmates that depend on them to get food hygiene products.

Now thousands of palestinian laborers have been going back to work in the past couple of hours after israel reopened dozens of crossings but there are fears of health risks because of the coronavirus outbreak last month private employers were accused of dumping palestinian workers who showed coded 1000 symptoms at checkpoints Rights Groups criticized israel for a failure to ensure the safety of those workers and lets get an update now from new to abraham whos in bethlehem for us needed just how busy are those crossings looking. Its basically coming in waves weve. 2 palestinian checkpoints and they are checking that only those who have coordinated access them and are and now we have huge this void which is very close to an Israeli Military checkpoint which is basically when theyre going to be allowed entry into israel the interesting thing is many of the workers are carrying their blankets usually its been a daily commute for them going and working in israel but this time its going to be a long time for them to stay in israel that is really authorities have said that those who crossed back into the occupied west bank wont be allowed to come back again into israel now were expecting these people to come nearly in 3 weeks which is in time for. A photo which is an islamic holiday so its going to be a real task for the palestinians so far they said that theyre going to be coordinating their entry back into the occupied west bank to ensure that there is no outbreak its important to note that around 2 thirds of instructions in palestine have come from workers and those around them so its been a very difficult decision for the Palestinian Authority to try and strike a balance really between Public Health and the safety of the palestinian citizens but also to kind of maintain the economy that has taken a hit from covered 19 were talking about 2 and a half 1000000000. 00 of revenues that these workers bring into the Palestinian Economy each year and theyre also important for israels economy and it is there an indication or of how these workers will be protected while in israel especially after those reports of labors being dumped at the border. Its really hard to find any get and t. s palestinians live under Israeli Occupation and these workers go into israeli workshops mainly the 3 criteria is that have been allowed to go to work to the infrastructure of agriculture and industry and its hard for palestinians to ensure that they are really saved and that its not clear if israel is going to be treating them in their own hospitals weve seen many scenes of palestinians who are suspected to have the virus that the been dumped in the street waited for a palestinian ambulance to pick them up the Palestinian Authority has said its impossible to really test each and every workers so this is why it was said that their movement back is going to be rewarded needs and hopefully theyre not going to contract the virus but the numbers in israel out of much higher than they are in the occupied west bank so its really a wait and see how israel is going to be dealing with them and abraham there for us in bethlehem thank you very much for that update nina.

Lets take you to some other news now and iraqs army says 3 policemen have been killed 2 others injured after eisel fire has attacked a Police Station in the city of baquba its the latest in a round of violence thats taken place over the weekend the vehicle of a Top Commander was targeted in a separate city where one soldier and at least 10 members of an Iraqi Paramilitary group were killed in separate attacks Simona Fulton is in baghdad she says these are the most brazen attacks by eisel faces in the last year. Well it is the deadliest attack that i saw has carried out in iraq over the past few months or even a year resulting in the death toll of 10 people as you mentioned earlier and it comes just days after the group tried to stage another attack in kill kook on the Intelligence Headquarters so what were seeing is that i saw is now resorting to directly attacking the Security Forces which is something that we didnt see over the past years what weve seen until now was i saw for example planting improvised explosive devices in rural areas or trying to intimidate or terrorize civilians living in remote areas but these attacks on Security Forces there are a sign that i still is more emboldened and capable of actually launching these operations now what appears to have happened last night is that the group attacked a checkpoint of the Popular Mobilisation forces killing 6 people in daraa gunfire and a subsequent military operation to respond to that attack 3 additional people were killed in. In addition to that one other member of the Popular Mobilization forces was killed so thats the death toll of 10 what is important to say here is that one of the 10 people who were killed are members of the socalled tribal Popular Mobilization forces these are sunni members of local communities who are drawn from the tribes to try to defend rule areas well still ahead on al jazeera we examine the call for air passengers to get bouchers instead of refunds for flights cancelled during the pandemic.

The work by its very nature is very crowded people have to standard very closely together as theyre working on the line to process it is a need that are going by very very quickly the closure of fact to use from missouri to colorado from virginia to south dakota creates a real problem in the supply chain farmers know have thousands of animals they need to feed and how use not something that budgeted for weve got to be able to move to move our cattle further along in the process and right now theres a bottleneck our supply chain literally causing a lot of issues and some concern for our producers donald trump is so concerned about supermarkets running out of meat that hes used an old war time law to keep the Meat Processing factories open hes designated them as Critical Infrastructure but unions are concerned that that might mean what kids safety is put it risk theyre worried federal guidelines will be ignored one expert says a see what force means less threat to the food supply if youre looking at risks of outbreaks if we dont practice these Infection Control steps measures or on the other hand were looking at some possible reduction in food supply but not necessarily shortage so its really necessary to prevent the outbreak so that we process in the 70s can continue to operate the u.

Everybody needs help and the airlines are no different because the airlines are losing hoth of their revenue for 2020 and some of the buy a lot sort of being required across the globe are absolutely massive the in the United States its about 50000000000. 00 for the usa alliance and they stacked sort of number is replicated in certain jurisdictions and others it is not so theres a lot of given type he at and certainly we want to preserve as many of these airlines as we possibly can for that very highly competitive market we want post covered 19th in certain jurisdictions it has been enough for instance in the middle east some of the countries they have stepped up significantly like at the top in other jurisdictions they havent been a struggle you know for instance the the federal government there really has not stepped up to support its 2.
