Governors in brazil refuse to reopen businesses defying the orders of the president accused of mishandling the coronavirus crisis. And thousands of people have died in care homes in the United Kingdom and there are fears of further upgrade this. Could have you with us and welcome to aljazeera afghanistans president is blaming the taliban for an increase in violence. Has ordered a military offensive against the taliban and other armed groups after 34. 00 people including new balls were killed in 2 separate attacks. All but. They all inspire our repeated and from the International Community to taliban have not reduced violence and instead they have increased their attacks in order to provide security for Public Places and to report attacks and threats from the taliban and other terrorist groups or doing Afghan Security forces to switch from an active defense mode to an offensive one and to start their operations against the enemy. But the taliban denies its behind the attacks and its accuse the government of creating obstacles to peace us secretary of state might call the latest attacks he missed and urged the Afghan Government and the taliban to cooperate to bring the perpetrators to justice well victoria fountain is a professor of peace studies at the American University of afghanistan joins me now via skype from kabul good to have you with us on the program the war of words between the taliban and the earth going government is certainly heating up despite ice all apparently havent taken responsibility for these attacks how bad is this really going to get. Well it has got a really bad already the production of the unsettled credit that was promised in the peace deal back in february really hasnt happened there has been attacks going on throughout the country for the past few weeks and even though the reduction of talents did materialize nerve and sent to us the rest of the country is still undergoing extreme violence from both sides so i guess that these sweets from the Afghan Government from active defense used to offensive mode is really upset economically that is already happening on the ground and has been happening for some time there are real question marks from several analysts that weve spoken to over the last 24 hours are gardy might be trying to destroy the agreement between the taliban and the u. S. By now targeting the taliban principally would you agree with that or do you think its a bit more subtle its a lot more complicated than that because disagreements were supposed to prevent as and saw it from being used by other groups and the taliban were supposed to monitor and prevent other groups from carrying out acts of terrorism and that hasnt materialized so whether the Afghan Government is saying right now. To the terms of the agreement and we will start speaking with you with you know neutral ground dialogue if you cannot deliver on your promises to the United States why should we even start making peace with you so i would say that its very subtle and that you have no government has been quite patient until now or even balance has been taking place in centers in your opinion then how close are we at this moment to the Peace Agreement between certainly the us of the taliban falling apart. Well i i couldnt really say but i would say that it is a big blow. To this Peace Agreement it shows again that the taliban cannot deliver on their pregnancies and and so i would say that today programme marks a milestone towards the decision that this integration of this agreement unless trusting measures are taken immediately by all sides and specifically by the taliban they have to maintain the premises that they have made and they have to ensure that the heinous acts of terrorism do not take place. That theres a great deal of diplomatic conversation happening right now one wonders whether the u. S. Or pakistan can help in any way as major sponsors of the agreement because the u. S. Envoy zalmay has been doing a lot of shuttle diplomacy between regional capitals in the last week he was in islamabad a few days ago hes been in new delhi what do you think is happening certainly on the diplomatic front regarding not just the agreement but what theyre seeing on the afghan soil well i would say that there must be a lot of. Undercover dialogue going on thats what i would suspect but also you know one has to wonder. Who is profiteering or which group is for citylink from this increase in violence at the moment and who was against peace from the start and so we have to ask those questions as well as there was dialogues diplomatic guy looks are taking place and really target the the the forces that are behind all that would benefit from the disintegration of this agreement and of course pakistan is never very far indeed for the moment victorious on time well continue to monitor exactly whats going on in afghanistan with you thank you very much thank you. The top Infectious Disease expert in the u. S. Has issued a stark warning on coronavirus unfound she says rushing to relax restrictions could result in needless deaths well new research from the university of washington is predicting that 147000 deaths by august 10000 more than previously forecast mike hanna has more. It was a meeting of the Senate HealthCommittee Like none before 3 of the witnesses and the Committee Chairman were not present because they were self isolating yourself quarantining says to some degree one of them dr anthony felt she came and attacked from a republican senator or is at the casino of a cautious approach to the easing of restrictions on a me as much as i respect you dr i dont think youre the end all i dont think youre the one person who gets to make a decision dr foti responded by saying he was going to die by science and undeterred by the hostile questioning repeated his warning against states stopping mitigating measures to quickly it is a real risk that you will trigger an outbreak you may not be able to control which in fact after dark simply will set you back not only leading to some suffering and death that could be avoided but could even set you back on the road to trying to get economic recovery a position backed up by some of dr colleagues who also gave evidence to the committee the experts were unwilling to be drawn into detailed discussion about testing protocols within the United States but dr policy is on the record as insisting that they are not yet at a standard to affectively the virus this is a critical factor in reopening the society its an opinion thats apparently largely ignored by President Trump whos been encouraging states to open d up as soon as possible the sign an accurate reflection of the reality as is the president s contention that the us is the Global Leader in testing protocols in the span of just a few short months weve developed a Testing Capacity unmatched an unrivaled anywhere in the world and its not even close this is a core element of our plan to safely and gradually reopen america and were opening and were starting and theres enthusiasm like i havent seen in a long time this certainly was. As an enthusiasm in this colorado restaurant a lot of the state shut down order by opening this past sunday the owner tagging President Trump in a tweet saying he was opposing what he called the overreach of the state gov the restaurant has now had its license suspended for a month but the scenes other stuff of my to those Health Experts cautioning against undue haste mike hanna aljazeera washington dr bob arnot as the former chief medical correspondent at n. B. C. News he says the trumpet ministration is taking a dangerous gamble buying courage ing states to lift lockdowns. I think its an incredibly dangerous time for the us you know if you look at the curve and hand china it went up like this it got flat which is where we are right now and then descended only when they did contact case tracing it took every single contact and put them into quarantine so were playing with fire here at the top im in the state of vermont weve been incredibly successful yes that we had no new das we had no new cases weve had a hard lockdown here very smart about industries starting up its smart in other words outdoor landscaping makes sense small manufacture when youre 6 feet apart but look at some of the mindless opening up georgia as an example you have hair salons nail parlors tattoos restaurants theaters gyms people in close contact makes news no sense and fundamental problem here is you have phenomenal scientists like dr fox you have known since 1983 and then you have the politicians who are using this phrase open up which is just its playing with fire its incredibly dangerous because its encouraging people to go out and live life as they did instead of opening up smartly. Now the u. S. Secretary of state has just arrived in israel the talks with Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu might pompei is visit comes as the u. S. Signals its support for israels plan to annex 30 percent of the occupied west bank towns small from west jerusalem. As Benjamin Netanyahu prepares for a 5th term as israels Prime Minister he is promising to carry out one of the most controversial acts of his decades in politics the annexation of illegal israeli settlements as well as large parts of the Jordan Valley totaling nearly a 3rd of the occupied west Bank Last Month he reminded american evangelical christians that President Donald Trump had pledged to endorse it a couple of months from now im confident that that close will be honored that we will be able to celebrate another historic moment in the history of zionism. Netanyahu has made pledges before often during Election Campaigns without following through some analysts suspect concerns over regional stability might make him hold off once again but since the election an accession talk is strengthened not diminished netanyahu has built the policy into his Coalition Deal with his former rival benny gantz and above all theres been preemptive support from a trumpet ministration. The us israeli annexation mapping team is due to have finished its work by the end of june the American Ambassador to israel has said the u. S. Is ready to recognize israeli sovereignty within weeks if with annexation comes a commitment to negotiate with the palestinians. And then not give america to. The palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas says annexation would see him dissolve all agreements with the u. S. And israel something that could collapse the Palestinian Authority and leave israel with direct responsibility for the Palestinian People its a warning hes made before and not delivered on but Officials Say this time is different we know it is difficult we know it is always a matter of survival but we think that. Accepting such as it is a defacto is not a choice you cannot live with such an exception netanyahu is Prospective CoPrime Minister benny gantz plans to argue for delay from within government but he gave up any veto on annexation as part of the deal that would see him take the top job in 18 months time the International Consensus thats in the coalition remains the United States my view is quite known and donald trump needs to allow an exception in order to build up his eventual call base ahead of a floundering Election Campaign so american politics and israeli politics are in place right now to facilitate an accession. European nations are reportedly considering sanctions theres also the prospect of jordan egypt and other arab states pressuring the white house not to approve but in the end this decision with all its potential for far reaching consequences comes down to 2 men Benjamin Netanyahu and donald trump is a force that aljazeera west jerusalem. Well still ahead here on aljazeera a mistake by the f. B. I. That could reveal a link between the 911 hijackers and the Saudi Embassy in washington that story after the break. So fairly windy conditions across much of the Arabian Peninsula really kicking up that sand in the dust and of course it is also very warm busy be supplied further to the north and that does mean theres actually some rain in the for constantly heading across into afghanistan throughout wednesday and then further towards the east weve got these most of his guys but the winds are strong coming through the interior the hawse and very dry and also beginning to actually pick up as we go through wednesday on into thursday out across into western society we could be saying areas a cad that could actually produce one even a thunderstorm as the day progresses and sunny maybe a few more showers into the far west of yemen as the temperatures 37. 00 in doha and it will 40 celsius in a q 8 and then across into Central Africa more of the rain across the Central Regions more showers into tanzania and kenya but fredy for the 1st time in really what has been a couple of weeks a bit of a break as we go through wednesday that also showers but its generally a much drive picture showers into southern areas about aska and they will continue to flow with this east coast of south africa as well certainly through wednesday by thursday its a similar story but tom does on feeling too bad 20 celsius johannesburg 22 in cape town and the notice to the north we have got these winds but particularly through the day ill see. But. Isolating times the listening post cuts through the noise leave the looking at another side of the story now from the information around the outbreak but the misinformation separating propaganda from fact its reality only has a lot exposing the optics try to never believe the rhetoric and play but they cannot manipulate the listening post your insight guide to the media on aljazeera. Oh. Welcome back youre watching aljazeera with me so horribly reminder of our top stories afghanistans president is blaming the taliban for an increase in violence after 34. 00 people including newborn babies were killed in 2 separate attacks the taliban has denied any responsibility but president bush has ordered the military to resume offensive operations against the taliban and other armed groups a leading member of the u. S. Credit is task force has told Congress Rushing to ease restrictions could result in serious consequences including needless deaths but until he found his testimony contradicts President Donald Trumps repeated calls for a quick reopening of the u. S. Economy. And the u. S. Secretary of state has just arrived in israel for top level talks the visit by mike pompei it comes as the u. S. Signals its support for israels planned the next 30 percent of the occupied west bank. Now the f. B. I. Is has mistakenly revealed the identity of a saudi official believed to be linked to the 911 attacks its information so sensitive the u. S. Government has been trying to keep it secret for months the official was named during the u. S. Federal lawsuit filed by families of the victims of the attacks on september the 11th 2001 they accuse the saudi government of complicity the declaration was filed by an f. B. I. Official a senior u. S. Government official says that this was done in error while a spokesman for the victims families says they believe theyve uncovered a link between 911 hijackers and the Saudi Embassy in washington 15 of the 19911 hijackers were citizens of saudi arabia saudi government denies any connection. Michael isikoff is chief investigative correspondent in yahoo news he says the official f. B. I. Account of saudi arabias links to 911 differs from what was revealed in court. The saudis are critical ally of the Us Government despite all the strains in u. S. Saudi relations over the years particularly the murder of Jamal Khashoggi the. The Washington Post journalist and. Revealing information that the f. B. I. Argues is inconclusive i should point that out that in the same declaration the f. B. I. Assistant director for counterterrorism argues that the evidence is not that strong that it was more a theory of the agents then an actual conclusion that the Embassy Official was involved that is the f. B. I. Is official position its different than whats going to be found in the documents and i think that if the f. B. I. Concluded the Justice Department concluded that it was inconclusive information that it did not wasnt sufficient to build a criminal case against the Saudi Embassy official then better to keep it all under wraps then let the lawyers for the plaintiffs for the families of the victims have it and try to pursue accountability in a civil court to saadi to saudi backed government full says 110. 00 separate is fine supported by the United Arab Emirates have been killed in fighting in southern yemen now the 2 sides of vying for control of zinjibar the provincial capital of beyond pro
