The pandemic we investigate the challenges of repaying such huge debts. And welcome back to spain tourists are being allowed to return to the beaches bars and your cheeks come july. We begin in libya with new developments in the fight for tripoli Government Forces have seized control of 3 military camps on the outskirts of the capital from warlord holy father thought the latest Success Builds on recent gains by the tripoli based government of National Accord c. N. A. Against tough saw and his selfstyled Libyan National army earlier this week c. N. A. Forces took over several towns and an air base near the tunisian border used to have to use air strikes his forces launched their offensive to capture the capital and april of last year but have failed to get very far beyond the city limits. So that leaves the un recognized government in control of tripoli misrata and other areas shaded hair and blue stretching west towards tunisia honey 5000. 00 his forces hold the red territory they include vast desert for regions as well as strongholds benghazi and further to the east to brooke thats where a rival administration allied to haftar is based mahmouds abdel wahab has more now from tripoli for have to the forces a major setback for his forces losing these military camps and the military camp that the Government Forces the capture today and in fact advance beyond a year more military campaign has been set by have to his forces as a kind of Central Command to run the battles in southern tripoli in fact it has been controlled by russian most an aries from the verb group to run the battles and the government to military sources say that the russian mercenaries set up a sort of valence equipment inside a military camp but the Government Forces say that they could not stay longer inside because half the us forces have been targeting them with mortar rockets now the clashes are going on in the vicinity of the old an active International Airport that has been under control of have put us forces for the past year in zone a neighborhood that the Government Forces say that they have managed to drive have those forces out pushing them back a few kilometers about insalata di neighborhood here in southern tripoli and also in an area called the project neighborhood the Government Forces say that 2 civilians were killed by a landmine that was set up by have to his forces meanwhile the Government Forces are warning civilians not to return home at least for the time being. Is founder and director of the City Institute thats a Public Policy think tank specializing in libya and affairs hes in london thank you for your time here on the news hour how significant and sustainable these gains made by the jna. Well it is very significant that after his last. Trip it has been contested since they both of them are seen as this is the games that he made around the time of last september these are games that he made just before the negotiations in berlin the International Conference that brought the well together to try to get a Peace Process and this is for him libya and these games were so instrumental part of that because he needed them to up one of them is pressure during negotiations the threat of force the threat of a reactivation of the war any moment and because hes limbs that presence of tripoli you know that ground he may have been here its going to be very very difficult for him to make it out there and sustain that is very difficult we have 2 schools and being submerged towards the city at the time of that sort of 60 kilometers from tripoli its the last bastion of hope there is the supply line and the supply line seems like its falling and seems like there are troops that are circling it from 6 the productive points that it looks like after its retreating for the 1st time in almost all of this last year but its the 1st time that hes on the retreat since he spoke to be a 2nd civil war in 2014 its quite interested to see in a funk hole between the u. S. President and techies they dont reject type one President Trump reiterated concert of a worsening foreign interference in libya to that end has turkeys involvement in libya been instrumental in what were seeing now on the ground. Its absolutely swung completely in the favor of the governor the shia who are i think without turkish sponsored assistance towards downgrading pretty far up there is International Support thats been really important for put the genie because they take at least 6 russian had been systems over the last week a lot of and thats been instrumental in providing not only symbolic but also Strategic Support for the for the general as the mans on the ground offensives and as they mount more offenses from from from turkey but more importantly perhaps there has been also his international and diplomatic support and thats seemingly unwavering so i would say that was there has been intervention on the part of the of the turks thats come in the last 6 months in a really active way its been there for a year about how to limit their support its been illegal and as a lot of the least 60 of us he has a former base in eastern libya. Which is true but the United Arab Emirates he has russian backing of most reeds that are normally have been on the ground the last 6 months that one of them was killed and captured last month in fighting in tripoli in the 1st confirmed case but also french diplomatic support the u. N. Level russian diplomatic support the u. N. Security council so its really important to understand the combination. Of the 4 not just individuals and how they kind of try and then over the last 6 year its because the congress from its context this war has been going on a lot longer in the last year. What is the government of National Accord and game here and you mentioned you know toner is sort of the next face that all eyes will be on but in terms of an end game is this all about getting a strong sort of negotiating position or does the jna actually see a military solution here. Well i think theres a split within the g. O. P. There are different forces within the g. O. P. There are some that will most likely want to return to a negotiation in geneva to receive where they left off in march of this year and perhaps could could compromise with helicopter i would say though is that that kind of political bargain i dont think is in any satisfactory to a lot of groups on the ground specifically the upwards of around 400000 people that have been displaced from the 3 different campaigns the helicopter has launched not to mention the campaigns in the south just before this move on tripoli so those groups many of them because many of those people thats a got weapons thats in lebanon i dont think that they will accept any deal that is going to be done with helicopter at the moment and i think they will not push further east of the g. N. A. T. Decides that it was the continue with a military offensive it will most likely go after the Oil Installations that have helicopters illegally occupied since that in the 16 in the east of the country and they will most likely go off to the water supply 100. 00 of those forces of clubs to tripoli in the last month and a half and thats come at a time during the curve it might seem and then it has come a time when we were locked in their homes being shelled was going to have those forces the rules are unable to access water and basic sanitation so its been a real pressure on many of the groups many of the forces and also many of the residents of tripolitania the most populated area of libya so i think its going to be a real difficulty for the lady one involved in negotiations to come back and try to rehabilitate her up there but there have been phone calls at the highest level. Of the United States called focus of ours the Prime Minister the g. L. A. Last night and said enough is enough activists the message that were getting from from those close to them to the g. N. A. T. That enough is enough and that perhaps the u. S. Will try to stop those losses and try to force a political solution i think thats premature and the girls are given the last year of conflict and the last 6 years of spoiling what a lot of this force i think is going to be unpalatable to those that are quite on the ground or those not living under a teleprompter who want to be. Getting rid of him although it was living in just place the year of shelling if you are going to go to the source when the law is going on and so i think its going to be very difficult and we will try to go to her that im ok thank you for your time.

Brazil is edging closer to overtaking russia have the worlds 2nd highest number of confirmed infections there almost 331000 cases and its death toll has passed 21000 still president also not of continues to downplay the seriousness of the pandemic and as latin america editor saying human reports the release of a recording has deepened a political scandal. This videotape is with those accusing president jade bosso nytol of interference in brazils Justice System consider it the smoking gun a Cabinet Meeting in which the president explains his motives for wanting to sack rio de janeiros Police Commissioner and the federal police chief. I tried to change the security official in rio and i couldnt thats it im not going to stand by and let them my family or my friends because i cant change someone in charge of security who was part of the structure im going to change him and if i can change him ill change his boss and if i can change his boss ill change the minister full stop the minister sitting at the meeting was none other than said to mortal brazils most popular and corruptions are who resigned shortly thereafter refusing to fire the countrys top policeman who is now leading the charge against boards not all through an Impeachable Offense the president dismissed the recording saying he was talking about his sons personal security detail not about getting rid of Top Police Officials in charge of sensitive investigations but its no secret that also national has long wanted to control police in real when members of his family are under investigation.

Why do i want brazilians to be armed because i dont want a dictatorship we cant hold back anymore whoever doesnt accept my creed family god brazil rep and freedom of expression and free market is in the wrong government. All this may be music to the ears of the president s followers but for the growing number of brazilians who see him as increasingly of the terror in the video is proof that brazils biggest threat maybe not of himself to see in human aljazeera. Lets go live now to alice on the ramp here today with more on this so our songs are abbas and arrow d is in the middle of this controversy but also isnt to concerned about the rise in the number of crowd of ice cases which seems to be exploding in the country. Absolutely kim if the leaked video we just heard from is anything to go by it seems quite clear that both are not oh has other priorities right now if we been reporting also on is that playing the effects of the pandemic in this country for now more than 2 months well the numbers are just extremely dramatic and getting worse every day just consider days 2 months ago brazil had just 21 confirmed cases of deaths due to the corona virus a month ago 2100. 00 today were looking at more than 21000. 00 and also the government just made it a day ago that there are a least another 11000. 00 deaths that occurred in the past few weeks that they think have to do with the 19 but that the government is already saying theyre not going to be able to test and confirm if indeed they also have to do with the covered 19 this is an extremely dramatic situation and while this is happening. Not only keeps downplaying the effects but also keeps attacking mayors and governors who are putting in effect restrictions in isolation measures in the leak tape he curses against the number of mayors essential the saying that the isolation measures theyre putting in place are dictatorial and calling on the people to arm themselves to fight against what he sees as the pay to ship arriving in the country and not as a way to try and slow down the spread the disease and this situation is quite dramatic there and the growing number of residents think that the president is becoming a liability all while theyre also seeing their medical Services Getting overwhelmed by the number of cases especially in particularly fragile. Well situations like the one that weve been reporting on in my mouth the capital of the amazon and now with the disease also spreading into indigenous villages deeper into the Amazon Region thanks for that update there alice on the ramp here to across developments in brazil and doctors in sudan are threatening to continue a nationwide strike if their demands for better working conditions and not met by the government the main Doctors Union called a 72 hour work stoppage on thursday was prompted by attacks on 4 doctors and a hospital on wednesday they want better protection from violent patients and their relatives and more effective equipment for treating covert 19 sumanda is director of the sudan democracy 1st group e. Joins us via skype from west orange in the u. S. State of new jersey 1st off why are we seeing these attacks on medical professionals. There has really made a series of what some of them motivated politically maybe militias loyal to the former president or machine from this Womens Movement or ruling party which has been the case other than wallowing. In the security. Services whether the National Police or other have also a doctor doctors again for a political reasons dr sami in the spirit of the royal term now uprising against some of the machinery the groton down in april of last year. They have me who you know calls for better protections for medical a star and i believe that the Prime Minister. Has now agreed to the shoe enforcement through existing laws probably not a stand alone. Creation to do a wide addiction for medical start working in hospitals and other centers and also but to dedicate a special police force for the protection of medical facilities so its been what over a year now just over a year since im now the sheriff was ousted whats the state of the Health System in sudan after 30 years of his rule. Its collapsing our machine has left all other Services Except security and Defense Agency is totally a sugar of what they used to be when. Saddam was only in the lantern ameri corps Civil Service and professional social services are 2 years in which about 70 percent you never had a chance of the national expenses of the National Budget when indicated to the security and Defense Sector while all other sectors you know had to compete for a meager remaining resources or lie in security and defense if you are allowed to keep their accounts of what you and they are lunatics and so for a lot of revenue that does not fit in the National Economy that is all it is a public Health System which is on their measure of collapse now facing these disaster of their record explanation spread of what would one team in the country whose religion is sauces and a piston and medical personnel and researchers that spit it out in the community surely and on the been collapsing so what has the they new Ruling Council said that its going to do about all of this what can it do.

Many here believe the disease came from the river that connects the village to my notes thats one of the cities hardest hit by the outbreak in brazil now where there arent enough coffins to bury the dirt testing for the virus in brazil is already behind that of other countries and these remote communities have little to work with got to do more with less about that we are in this battle to see if the virus leaves the area and to make sure no one dies we have to advise or people so that infection stop.

Aljazeera. International condemnation is growing louder against chinas plans for a new security law in hong kong the last governor of the british colony chris patten says its a betrayal by a new chinese dictatorship the proposed legislation would ban activity that Chinas Communist Party considers subversive so hong kongs government can expect more protests around of its. On the day china announced it was bypassing hong kongs parliament to push through a new security law the citys leader was putting on a brave face surrounded by her cabinet kerry said hong kong people and Foreign Investors had nothing to fear as she offered support for the legislation there will be protests of all sorts in hong kong as we have seen but the important thing is for the people hong kong to realize that without protection of National Security many of the things that we enjoy many of the things that we treasure. Will be lost. When china regained sovereignty over hong kong from britain in 1907 it promised the city a high degree of autonomy for 50 years. But chinas leadership now says those freedoms are being undermined by violent protests subversion calls for independence and foreign interference. And under the basic law hong kongs mini constitution they say they have the right to impose security legislation on the on friday the vice chairman of chinas National Peoples congress. Confirm that chinas security agents will operate in hong kong when needed words that have unsettled many people here they all feel that the one country 2 systems is there and now the reaction is general penney people would like you and me grey and making preparations for the phone count some people we spoke to said the law was long overdue others resigned to it i think it would have happened anyway like if the fear i think ive gotten past this stage about being afraid or got it all makes sense a country needs laws to protect itself people only abuse freedom if there is too much. Business groups here fear the proposed law will threaten hong kong status as asias leading Financial Center and put further pressure on its independent judicial system it is almost 2 years since protests began over another proposed law that would have allowed wanted people to be sent to the mainland that bill was eventually dropped but the prospect of more on rest this time is unlikely to deter chinas government from pressing ahead with this security law adrian brown al jazeera hong kong. Governments around the world are grabbing financial lifeline says they fought to keep economies from collapsing the World Bank Says the pandemic could push another 60000000 people around the globe to extreme poverty International Monetary fund predicts Global Growth will shrink by 3 percent this year far worse than during the financial crisis more than a decade ago i am after relief has been approved for 27. 00 countries including afghanistan the democratic republic of congo and yemen and the World Bank Says it will issue 160000000000. 00 worth of emergency funds to 100. 00 developing nations ellen fisher looks at where the moneys coming from and whether those borrowing it will be able to pay back.

Nature reasserting itself in various areas and i think people of begun to understand the impact weve had so perhaps. Domestic support for actions countries will still have to figure out how to people back a lot of the right know when theyll finally be in a position to do that alan fischer you know washington. Tim jones is the head of policy and to for the Debt Campaign a u. K. Based charity that campaigns for developing countries loans to be forgiven he says rich nations and institutions are showing no real interest in helping governments that are struggling the i. M. F. Have hundreds of billions of dollars in reserves go and just a small proportion of that can be used to counsel that aim and this year and help keep money in country but we need to see action across various lenders well bank is important but also there are private creditors because the highest interest loans are to private land and we need to see those being tackled as well weve not seen anything quite as rushed the council that yet. To be aware of that the whats happened so far. Are. In china and the us and have offered a suspension of payment for that this year and those debt payments will bank be made in a couple of years and hits the pound down the row portion the bottom and the.

Any and her husband a bass busy are growing their own food they are among the estimated 40 percent unemployed as lebanon faces its worst economic crisis and decades International Organizations say almost half of the nearly 5000000 people are struggling to put food on the table my husband and myself are jobless at the moment so we found that that might be like the best solution to the problem that were facing not everyone has a balcony a rooftop garden or land to enable them to become food independent and where the government close to bankruptcy many say such initiatives will not be enough to deal with what Prime Minister has warns could be a major food crisis the World Food Program says prices of basic goods increased by at least 40 percent thats linked to the devaluation of the local currency the euro lebannon is heavily reliant on food imports they are at risk because of the scarcity of dollars to buy them our Food Security is in danger because of the financial crisis and because our Agricultural Sector has been shambles for the past 30 years successive governments blamed for mismanagement and corruption have been criticised for failing to support lebanese farmers campaigns have recently been launched to encourage agriculture and selfsufficiency as well as support Food Producers its cost 3. 00 to 4. 00 times more. This year than it did last year and they dont have that. So its kind of just to ensure that the supply chain throughout the season is insured for everyone for and for us a lot of these services more and more lebanese are falling into poverty nongovernmental organizations and charities are stepping in and this supermarket everything is free many who need help are the elderly and retirees be.
