Living and working on both sides of the border the most concerning part for authorities is that very few of the new corona virus cases have been linked to other known infections making it near impossible to monitor and leaving premier Daniel Andrews with what he says was no choice but to bring back the tough measures even stricter measures are being enforced on 3000 residents in nonpublic housing towers in no been many from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds that our neighbor a is one of them she says they feel excluded and thinks the Huge Police Presence below is unnecessary and must be quiet and i think its time for her in the past state had some difficulties with the police and racial. And its like its being ultra left for some of the young people are safe because.

Element mental and physical exhaustion specially if. We hardly have it weve got control to make but some are able to write it. States to close things down later in reopened earlier seeing the largest surge in cases no hitting record levels. Ill see more in the next couple of weeks if which is the explanation right now does not start you know many in the u. S. Spent the 1st 4 months in isolation staying at home social distancing staying away from loved ones but experts say that might all be for nothing if the country doesnt get a grip on the new cases and without a vaccine theres no plan b. I think were going to see a reversion to the types of stay at home policies that we had in place in many states previously which is going to be hope from an economic you know or a message to reach as well as social mental hell hell. On it since ration but you know go you know were acting like we have you know her and her and you know you know if theres a bright spot its that the death rate is not increasing even with the increased number of cases but theres no coordinated National Strategy for getting on top of this wave the virus is not out of control yet but its close very close in texas theyre planning for the days ahead making sure they have enough beds enough equipment and enough strength to get through whats to come out aljazeera well now brazils president is awaiting the results of his cravat 1000 test after again being checked for the virus after complaining of favor and dry of also emerge from a Military Hospital wearing a mask has been widely criticized for refusing to wear one in public as well as ignoring social distancing rules there will be no living im avoiding coming near because i just came from hospital i did a lung x. Ray and its clear im going to take a kind of a test now. As weve been saying brazil is the 2nd worst affected country in the wild despite this the largest city sao paolo is bowing to pressure from the business sector to lift restrictions on. America has any say in human reports. Theres something seriously disturbing about this picture at least according to a. P. Demi all exists few if any countries in the world have as many gyms per capita as does brazil with physical fitness is an obsession. But the permission to reopen gyms barras restaurants and Shopping Centers in Rio De Janeiro and sao paulo brazil 2 biggest cities comes just as the country surpasses 1600000 infections and more than 65000 deaths from code 19 the glass and metal technical director of this gym applauds the move before article 3 stand by im very optimistic because physical activity is part of the solution to the problem people have to exercise. But is this graph shows at the top of the list of places people should stay away from during the pandemic are bars gyms and cell Service Restaurants because of the high risk of contagion all sagittal have yet i asked epidemiology astutely valley badal if brazil was near the peak of the infection. In much of brazil not only has it not reached a peak but rather it is spreading to places that have far weaker Public Health services than in the main cities places that dont have Emergency Care units or other basics and in a country as large as brazil you can just move patients to places with better care. Not one of those remote places of course is the amazon rain forest 100 to the Indigenous People have already been infected. Brazils Public Prosecutor is investigating charges presented by indigenous rights advocates that last weeks visit to some of the most isolated tribes like the no money by members of the Defense Ministry has spread the virus. The ministry with thinks the charges. What is a thought how can an organization that is concerned about Indigenous People be upset by giving medical treatment and food to Indigenous Peoples. But world renowned brazilian photographer and amazon preservationists it all sounds algal says thats absurd as a dancer but as it is the brazilian authorities know have known and will see again that the Indigenous People dont have the antibodies to protect themselves from diseases that come from outside the forest so the penetration into indigenous territories promoted by president both the narrow is really genocide. Whether in prisons most remote areas or in its major cities the spread of corona virus remains out of control despite measures spurred by economic pressures that would make it seem that the pandemic is almost over. See in human 0 well now israels Public Health chief has resigned as the nation battles a recent surge in infections there in a Facebook Post siegel sadat ski warns that initial successes in handling their outbreak have now moved towards a dangerous place since he added the pandemic was 1st met with Ethical Leadership but now lacks with thorazine israel has more than 31000. 00 cases and over 335. 00 taliban well lets not speak to our correspondent harry for cities and westerners so im sorry there has been mounting pressure on the government on their Pandemic Response just how much more fallout could we see from this resignation. Well its certainly very damning the criticism that she put out in this very long Resignation Letter which she published on our own Facebook Page and just to put it in context she is very much at the heart of the fight against the pandemic especially in the early phase she was as director of Public Health in the Israeli Health ministry one of the major faces there in the televised press conferences and so the fact that shes walked out and done so in such high dudgeon is i think pretty explosive in terms of an assessment of the governments current handling of the crisis she says for example that the achievements that were made in the early phases have now banished because of the quick and wide reopening of the economy wider and more hasty than other western nations she says that some Decision Makers are in severe denial and the new restrictions which have been brought in this week amount to too little too late and she also says that she is leaving because she doesnt feel her opinions and advice are being listened to anymore and therefore she cannot be effective in trying to assist with stopping the spread of the virus now she is something of a controversial figure in her own right she was very much in favor of a complete and early shutdown of the economy but shes also reported to be against relaxing some of the restrictions around testing of some of the criteria by which people could get tests and she was criticized for not having spread testing widely enough early enough nonetheless this is a very Senior Member of israels pandemic fighting team at the heart of government that is resigning and dolling out very severe criticism of the people shes leaving behind harry as we saw yesterday restrictions are being reimposed bars clubs jens can you give us a sense of the overall situation there now. Well yes i mean largely many things are operating as normal you can still go to more or you can still shop in nonessential shops but restaurants have been pared down in terms of what theyre able to offer 20 diners on the inside 30 outside and as you say clubs bars pools gyms cultural events event halls they are all shut in their entirety synagogues are allowed to remain open but only with a maximum of 1000 people inside at any one time the hope for the government is that this will be enough to slow things down and get a handle on the current upsurge in cases there are over a 1000 in the last 24 hours but there are also people talking about the need for another lockdown high force affair correspondent in western for thank you very much terry. Saying in the region and iran has announced its highest single day death toll since the start of the cove in 1000 outbreak began there in february the Health Ministry says more than 200 people have died in the past 24 hours just last week iran started to reimpose some restrictions after a surge in new cases well we can now speak to our correspondent a setback he joins us live from tehran a 3rd with the death toll climbing whats the situation like there on the ballot specially in hospitals. Well hospital admissions of thats to be expected but whats worrying for the government is that one 3rd of those new hospital admissions lie here in the capital that run this city is the most populated city in the country but its also the Financial Hub so that could be very serious thats not only about the fact that 200 people have died in the last day but its a huge jump from the last figure that we had was just 164. 00 just a few days ago now the Health Minister has said that the country is now experienced experiencing its peak but we thought that peak was in mid march a month before the lockdown restrictions were eased and the Health Minister appeared on state t. V. Life he seemed very upset and subdued before he announced those latest figures but he said that hes warnings were taken seriously and the country is paying a huge price he said at the start of the pandemic around 80 percent of people would tear into social distancing and other guidelines and now thats down to about 10 percent its a very worrying for the government the fact that infections have gone up and the death rate has also gone up and i said what are we hearing from government officials i imagine theyre probably quite keen to shift the blame him. Well it was the government itself that eased those lockdown restrictions that opened up cities allowing people to travel around the country government offices were open to people went back to work and businesses were reopened another government has said that face must some wonderful gold is no penalty for not wearing one theyve been running campaigns on state t. V. Saying that corona virus is no joke and encouraging people to wear a mask but there is the sense of kroner fatigue that this virus has been in the country for for months and to give an example of the Health Ministry spokeswoman said that in one city alone in a matter of days there were 50 wedding ceremonies and they saw an increase of infections after that but as you said the asked some differences amongst officials now the Health Minister has said that he did not want to be eased so soon you want to some of those restrictions to stay in place and he wanted parts of society not to go back to normal as soon as they did but the government is in a difficult position going into this pandemic inflation was at 41 percent the currency has lost its value against the dollar and also the economies and the u. S. Sanctions so the government face a difficult decision reimpose lockdowns and stop the spread of this virus and excess deaths a hope that people will abide by the new laws and regulations something which hasnt worked so far back that for us in the iranian capital tehran thank you for that update asses when iranian media is also reporting that 2 people have been killed by an explosion at a factory near terror on 3 others were injured and local Officials Say it happened after ereka mishandled filling an oxygen tank and there have been a series of explosions in iran over the last 2 weeks on thursday a fire broke out at the Natanz Nuclear facility and last week 19 people were killed by an explosion at a Medical Clinic in northern tehran. Now the u. S. Drone strike in january that killed the top iranian general cousin so the money was illegal thats the conclusion of the United Nations expert on extrajudicial killings and its color maad says the killing was arbitrary and went against the u. N. Charter her report also says the u. S. Has not provided any information proving that iran was planning any attack on u. S. Interests when the targeted strike took place now a funeral has been held for iraqi political analyst. Who was killed in baghdad on monday night dozens of mourners pay their respects to the 47 year old who was a leading expert on iceland other groups he was shot near his home and died of his injuries in hospital his death has drawn International Condemnation and iraqs Prime Minister has vowed to hold the killers accountable when we cannot speak to renard months or hes the director of Iraq Initiative at Chatham House and he joins us now on skype from london to begin with i believe you know her show me and you have my condolences it seems that the gunmen were waiting for him outside his home why do you think he was targeted. I mean 1st of all this one is slow to do because we shot him with a very close friend and colleague of me and many others who have been trying to do Research Center understand iraq he was barry outspoken and i just by talking on the same day earlier point you know when he was constantly facing threats there were constant threats on him for his role in speaking out against for example some of these militias that were going around the world who are speaking out against the political speaking out against corruption and i knew him well for many years and he really wanted to raise awareness for what he saw to be some of the impediments for the country that he lived in the country born in new ways of the nationals trying to fix this country and i asked him yesterday are you scared and he said there is fear but duty is bigger so i mean its just very certain use and chance and he is what it is like in danger but politically literally for the past few months the u. S. Drone strike against that seems to me thats i say that no group has claimed responsibility for his killing but there has been a past and imagine here right of outspoken critics being attacked when the bat began. Well there was 2 elements to that what you seem for the last few years in the south of iraq. Is that a pattern of targeting Civil Society activists journalists and protesters especially those who are known i think you know and so theres even a word they use they call them all jokers and so. Sometimes when they lead growth thats where its you know many have been targeted killed similarly at gunpoint and shot harshly mees assassination is slightly different its big in terms of its political implications he was very close to the Prime Minister he was very close to the president he was seen as part of. That at least obviously in that regard although it was. So many would have fired and he himself at some point would have thought that he would be more untouchable than many of the other activists who had been targeted because of his network because of the connections that he had and how deep connections were crossed the iraqi state well iraqs government is valli very openly that there will be accountability do you have confidence in that. I mean just as we talk about all of the iraqis who have been killed assassinated over the last 2 years we still have yet to see accountability i think the Prime Minister president who both knew his who are you know working out some of them who are trying to find the perpetrators they have the video but its but in terms of the Bigger Picture you know there is there is the foot soldier and then there are those who are calling the shots can there be accountability to all of these world groups all of these criminal gangs and the militias well typically in the break that in recent times its hard to see the ability not to work at the ability particularly and to some extent the will of senior political elite to really make decisions and go out there all of the armed groups run out there are some complex dynamics playing out here and i want to ask you about some of them i mean you mentioned that the press increased after the ceremony killing we saw the recent arrest to have some members of qatar has been around that but then all but one or at least there been rocket attacks on the green zone can you talk us through whats shifting him. Its a its a challenge and you know i mean hes shown for a long time and there was a logic to the work but the logic that he made in relations work with all the sides you know he would have breakfast with one shia militia leader or paramilitary leader he would have lunch with us and the sort of islam is the would have to know who the president there was a logic to that system but to some extent who may be more than this who was killed alongside of them only was trying to centralize all of these moves trying to bring them together because he also realized that their strategy and then there is the right and so its not that he was against such assassinations but he would only do them if they were strategic and he would not want these kind of broad groups going around killing at the whim so i think the biggest challenge forward and something that he shot and others were trying to understand is what is the new nature of the game what are the new rules of engagement with all these smaller groups that dont even have the general accountability so thats not to say that its only the armed groups thats not who are there not just rogue agents as part of the system but its a lot more complicated so lets be clear whos calling the shots is a lot less clear where decisions are coming from and so he should have another its quite worrying to make it more scary today more dangerous today than it was when we were going to even when an isis existed. That the director of iraq and has to have a tougher house thank you so much sir for being with us thats what is clearly a difficult time thank you for your time now to pans government says its doubling rescue operations as floods and landslides continue to ravage its Southwest Island of kish or at least 50 people have died and over a dozen remain missing since heavy rain began on saturday and about half a 1000000 people have also been advised to evacuate their homes translate reports.

A straightly a 2nd largest city in melbourne is going back into lockdown for 6 weeks the state governments admitted its lost control of rising infection numbers from wednesday its 5000000 residents can only leave their homes essential purpose. Underground has announced its highest single day death toll since the start of the cove in 1000 outbreak began in february the Health Ministry says more than 200 people have died in the past 24 hours its. Now the United Kingdom it can begin selling weapons to saudi arabia once again new export licenses were suspended last year and under review this follows a legal challenge by a campaign is concerned u. K. Exports were violating International Humanitarian law well lets get more on this from Charlie Angelo whos in london for us charlie the u. K. Appears to be admitting that the weapons its selling could be used to commit war crimes yet theyre going to resume those sales anyway. Yes just to give you a bit of background the court barred the issuing of new arms licenses early last year and asked them to review the decisions on existing licenses but what that meant is that fighter jet parts that were already in the pipeline could carry on now that review has been concluded and i quote this is the conclusion theyve come to that there were some credible incidents of concern relating to saudi forces conduct but theyve been classified as possible breaches of International Humanitarian law the government now views these as an isolated incident so theyre admitting there are examples of human rights abuses but they say that these are not part of a pattern its not clear how they made this assessment whether it was just done internally or had some independent oversight but what it means is that the government will now be working through the backlog of arms orders from saudi and that includes a multi 1000000. 00 deal for new typhoon fighter jets the International Section for trade list trust also admitted that the u. K. Have breached that ban while they were under the court order and some items like military radios and air coolers to be used in Armored Vehicles in saudi had slipped through the gap so to speak and they say that these licenses were issued inadvertently and in future itll be ministers that sign off of them on to not officials but the campaign against our trade who really spearheaded that initial case against the government have cooled this decision descry small and morally bankrupt and they say they are speaking to their lawyers and looking at how they can now challenge this next move but the timing is is certainly curious only yesterday the foreign secretary dominic robb stood up to say that a sanctions regime will be introduced by the u. K. To target people who have committed the grave human rights and 20 saudi individuals were perch on that sanctions list for their involvement. The murder of Jamal Khashoggi dummett robson very proud also he said that Global Britain will be an Even Stronger force for good in the world in the year is ahead so i think for many people this decision is exposing the hypocrisy in the u. K. s Foreign Policy charlie and therefore us with all the latest from london thank you very much johnny now middle east focused articles written on some well known news publications have been removed after an investigation revealed the authors were fake online newspaper the daily beast claims its uncovered examples of socalled experts writing for outlets including the Washington Examiner and the National Interest twitter has also suspended the profiles of several uses identified in that investigation well lets not speak to Mark Owen Jones he is an assistant professor at harvard been clear for university he joins us live via skype here in doha mark just how widespread could this practice be. I think weve only hit the tip of the i spoke with this investigation bear in mind that in this particular case we found almost 20 fake journalists who publish in almost 50 International News outlets up to 80 articles in the space about 5 or 6 months so this is a large scale operation and even until the publication of the article we were still finding one or 2 journalists or fake journalist brotherhood strip through the network and not all of the journalists were clearly connected so its in my opinion i think theres probably a lot more of these type of shady figures out there and this is going to be exacerbated by the fact that some of the journalists are using or probably using. Images that were generated by Artificial Intelligence to create their profile pictures which will make them harder to track down saw mark i magine constructing a whole persona online these days can be fairly time consuming especially in order to appear credible so how easy is this to do. I think actually it is relatively straightforward i think you know what it takes is to create a social media account like a linked in account of twitter accounts perhaps get published in some low profile outlets and then use that low price profile c. V. To approach other outlets that are more credible and Start Building up a portfolio of work i think whats happening here is that the big problem is an issue of vetting these outlets to publish these works which include very high profile outlets like the Washington Examiner spiked online asia times not doing sufficient checks of that contributes and i i sympathize with the ed its because theyre under a lot of pressure but really in an in the nature of fake news i think more scrutiny has to be done on people who are submitting opinion pieces. Has there been a dishonorable pats on hand tens of the information that these writers are trying to 2nd and i see this is happening on issues both related to east asia and the middle east. Yes i mean the focus of the work i think theres a tactic in order to build up the profile of the portfolio of each of these journalists a lot of them right filler content that is quite generic stuff about the Financial Markets maybe stuff about prodemocracy protests i think the thrust of the the articles concerns it seems to concern iranian expansionism turkish expansionism and the role of the Muslim Brotherhood in the world which would suggest to me that it puts in line with either so and us right wing think tanks or the Foreign Policy of say the United Arab Emirates or saudi arabia so i think if we if we look at all the discourse of these articles there is a very common theme running through them that would suggest that it was carried out on behalf of a state by a particular entity and in my sort of educated analysis i would wager that they could be someone that the United Arab Emirates or saudi arabia well actually this all also impacts the credibility of real journalists especially the ones who have chosen to leave publish some of this information just how damaging is this for the news media. I think its very damaging that i mean that damage the current a pocket we live in is one in which the news media is being relentlessly assaulted by the like to donald trump and other people i mean i think there is a bit of irony here or maybe a sweet irony depending on how you look at it that all these used outlets are a lot of the more right wing outlets and its usually the the sort of liberal bias of the media thats called out by the likes of donald trump and other populist so i think its interesting that the ones who got stung here are right wing outlets but at the same time i think it will be used to again bludgeon the media with and to some extent this is fair because these these outlets have dropped the ball and they should have done more Due Diligence but i do feel for real journalists who are struggling to to to get published when that when these outlets actually publishing content by people that dont even exist. Absolutely Mark Owen Jones an assistant professor at home of the 33 university here in doha thank you for being with us here on out is there a great new insight has now Guillen Maxwell the alleged accomplice of sex offender Geoffrey Epstein has been transferred to a prison in new york a number of have seen victims accuse maxwell of being instrumental in grooming young girls for abuse cable elizondo reports.
