For many of the 3700000 Students Graduating High School in the u. S. Its not the celebration that they had hoped for a lot of special reports. Its not supposed to be chewed have been a pothole with lots of friends and a celebration of 4 years of high school instead its graduation marked with a socially distant stance with the family in a driveway. With my friends that is better. And were going to get out maybe. Maybe is graduation season in americas high schools big celebrations ceremonies and excitement the moment to move on to something new university or a career for the class of 2022 is moments and memories have been stolen away was nobody wants to go to school it sucks its boring but the end of your senior year you get to do all of these incredible things youve been working towards and you get that. And now i dont get that. Clear rodgers moved to the u. S. 2 years ago from the u. K. Where they do things differently graduation ceremonies are not common but ive grown up watching that sort of thing movies now its like wow i actually get to experience.

On the county mcauliffe there rich in resources but some opec nations are struggling to make any money. No but then also it could be Oil Price Crash be opening the Green Economy needs all that plus spoils biggest player moving in on a little piece of north east england. Counting the cost on aljazeera. Unprompted and uninterrupted discussions from on london broadcast center. On aljazeera.

Was found hiding in france under a false name after avoiding capture for nearly 25 years. Thailand is easing a lockdown that began today for shopping malls and Department Stores have reopened at a night the curfew will be shortened by an hour for the state of emergency will continue until the end of the month. First day of a weeklong lockdown in chiles capital santiago as seen in the city streets almost deserted more than 6000000 people have been ordered to stay out of. The pandemic has been a major test for World Leaders the top 4 worst hit nations have something in common populist leaders who initially dismissed the threat of the virus the death toll of the us is approaching 90000 by far the worlds highest despite repeated warnings from january President Trump insisted that the virus would not take hold there in march he declared a National Emergency but has refused to take responsibility for failings in the response britains Prime MinisterBoris Johnson also played down the virus even shaking hands with patients a covert 19 hospital ward he later became seriously ill himself the u. K. Acted relatively late in imposing a lockdown that now has the highest death toll in europe brazil is less than americas worst hit country president jaya both synonymous so that the virus was nothing but a fantasy like triumphal slaughtering courage to anti lock down protests at attacks governess who imposed restrictions and putin was quick to close russias border with china but domestic lockdown measures came late russia has now more than 270000 infections the 2nd highest in the world Steve Clemons is editor at large of the hill and the host of aljazeera is the bottom line he explains why its taken several World Leaders some time to take measures against the virus. All of these leaders in a sense ran against the establishment in their countries they ran against science they ran against universities they ran against the ministries and bureaucracies they were out there set up over generations to protect the public but also narrow has fired his last 2 Health Ministers so donald trump his critique anthony found it was world famous as one of the great carolla just who has helped knock back to me aids and others i think that the reason they did this is that they thrive on the notion that they and their supporters are victims and theyve been victims from the educated in society from science that has left them behind in their view and it challenges their my cheese mow their their their boss nature and that they would have to listen to someone else and this is created a real problem so i think thats part of that your World Health Organization is a bit different because it least in the United States part of the nationalism that donald trump has tried to this bug nations now says im trying to assert is very disdainful of other countries of International Deals of International Institutions and they see the rest of the world as ripping off the United States as freewriting when the United States and theres a resentment and anger about anything attached to the United Nations so his critique of the w. H. O. Is part of this plug nations nationalism and he does not understand that the w. H. O. Plays a vital and Critical Role in setting up Health Models and Health Standards creating an antenna for other and future pandemics and helping particularly we have to remember that if we dont help lesser developed countries get through this and we see what its happened to developed countries this will come back with a vengeance everywhere.
