Well the number of credit virus cases globally has crossed 4000000 with the u. S. Accounting for more than a quarter of them and former president barack obama has described Donald Trumps handling of the pandemic there as an absolute chaotic disaster obama said in a Conference Call with former members of his ministration which was leaked and he added that the Current Administration appears to have a mind set of whats in it for me and to heck with everyone else the u. S. Has reported about 1300000 infections and more than 77000 deaths well eric cantor is a us political analyst and has written a book on the Republican Party he says the comments by president obama may have been strategic. Were talking about a former president speaking to about 3000 of his former employees people who worked for him in the white house people who understand acutely how important it is to keep things and work in the fact that the president makes such. Biting comments about the current occupant of the white house one has to sixpack that the president actually wanted these comments to get out the question is why would he want them out and why would he want them out now given that the United States is confronting this virus this pandemic knowing that the president certainly will attack and again you americans are still left reeling trying to basically fend for themselves as to the pandemic is reaching now upwards of 80000 people and the number of deaths that have been caused by this virus president barack obama is attempting to do at this moment in time right now is to unify the Democratic Party and to also signal not only to those who work in the administration but also to those as you mentioned who may be who may be on the fence right now who may be not ready to actually get behind a joe bidens candidacy i think what the former president is doing is signaling that he is working for the democratic nominee and that he needs everyone on board and hes making it clear that he too will be working as he said and as it was leaked he will be working as hard as he can to Alexa Joe Biden in the fall the brazilian president dr olsen all right has been described as the biggest threat to his countrys ability to respond to the current virus hes been facing sharp criticism for continuing to downplay the severity of the pun demick but still has plenty of supporters at home and some of the rug he has will. As brazil recorded more than 10000. On saturday supporters of president. On the capital brasilia to defend their battered leader and amend their names down measures they rallied in front of the countrys Supreme Court angry after it allowed an inquiry into the president for allegedly interfering in a Police Corruption case against. All this happening while a study by top brazilian universities says the country is still weeks away from reaching the peak of infections and predicting more than 60000. 00 deaths by next month the highest death toll anywhere besides the United States in a skating at the tauriel the british medical journal the lancet. Who continues to dismiss the effects of the outbreak is the biggest threat to easing the crisis the governor of brazils most populous states extended a lockdown in this region until the end of the month backpedaling on an earlier promise to start reopening the state on monday and implicitly attacking will so now. Were all going through the worst moments of this pain dimmick but its not recognized not saying not understood by those who are blinded by hate or by personal ambition. Medical officials in Rio De Janeiro in at least 4 other major cities have warned that their Hospital Systems are on the verge of collapse among them and now its in the heart of the Amazon Region where 500 more coffins arrived by boat to deal with the surgeon deaths nobody knows exactly how many died to cope with 19 because of insufficient delayed testing for instance. Since the 2nd most populated state in brazil we have only 3000 cases but then we have almost 100000 suspected cases that have gone so far so the numbers are clearly much worse then we know the government has absolutely no idea of the true extent of the problem in. The Health Minister himself has admitted to lying through this. And no ready bleak situation the promises to become even harsher as the weeks go by alison that. Now south korea has reported its highest number of deadly cases in about a very small operation merged around a slew of nightclubs in the capital seoul 34 new cases were registered on sunday or president. Warned of a 2nd wave of the epidemic later this year his government ease restrictions after cases dwindled in april addressing the nation early on sunday moon said hill turned the country into a pace setting economy in a post 19 era rob a bright house ball from the south korean capital. I think he has been regarded as setting something of an example for the rest of the world the response by south korea or moon janes government has been widely applauded by the International Community so he did at the beginning of this speech is quite unusual for him to make a speech like this it marks the 3rd anniversary of him taking office here in south korea he did take time out for a bit of a victory lap a deserved one it could be said saying that south korea with the kind of testing that it puts in place and tracing of cases had certainly set a world standard that other countries are trying to now emulate it went to you as you recall from being the 2nd worst affected country in the world after china with the coronavirus now ranking 38th in terms of the number of cases so something of an achievement but what lies ahead is quite grim. And talked about how to recover the economy as we stand on the verge of a global recession south korea is of course export driven and it is a fact that this year people wont be upgrading their latest Samsung Smartphone or theyll be putting off buying that motor car until next year all the kind of things that are going to hurt south korea so very much focusing on the use of technology of the 5 g. Networks that we have here in south korea really to try to recover the economy through socalled norm face to face industries more tele working and so on so basically charting this High Technology new deal as he called it way forward for south korea.
