Efforts in southwest japan or floods and killed at least 50 people. Brazils president has announced that hes tested positive for corona virus jailable sonata was taken to a Military Hospital on monday after coming down with a fever both senator has been widely criticized for refusing to wear a mask in public and footed noting social distancing rules. I just got a positive result yes its positive so it all began on sunday when i started feeling slightly ill and it worsened on monday when i felt worse tired muscle pain and a fever that reached 38 degrees ok lets go to haasan most whod whos live for us in sao paulo haasan how do you think that people there are going to react to the news that the president has covered 19 after hes been so determined to play it down. Well the people here in brazil are reacting fast the since yesterday when president said that he made and you know virus just after he felt that he has a fever and and had a lot of sentiments of the virus and the people are reacting people that are supporting president bush not all they are from the supporters are praying for him saying that the present day was not will be strong and he will be the virus as they are saying especially on the social media of the same time also people from the other side are repeating the words that he used when that couldna virus has started the year brazil and he said that good enough virus is good that means that corona virus is a simple flu and he didnt accept a lot of measures that were taking or what were taken from. Governors of the states here in brazil and at the same thought im he was asking for a vertical. System not a horizontal one keep only the people who are and risk in isolation and brazil not the horizontal ones that keep everybody in isolation but at the same time. 65 years old so he is from that risk circle also here in brazil according to the specialists here in brazil but at the same time bryza present he was not was said in his announcement for the press that he is and i good status and he stepped back and took off the mask and he said that. Everybody can see him that he is in a very good have and he is feeling well and he holds that he will meet the journalists also and one week after he beat the virus at the same time he repeated that also only who are in the risk must be here in brazil but at the same time brazil must go back to work again and he said that he were using the mast and when he stepped back he took off the mask at the same time also a president who. Had a very. Had a lot of activities that week one of the most important and famous activities was when he visited the house of the u. S. Ambassador here in brazil in brasilia and he spent all the day with him he didnt use the mac mask the facial mask and the u. S. Embassy here in brazil also said that. Him best of the maid also had 1000. 00 tests to check up after the news of president it was not always that he had symptoms of over 1000. 00 yet and were talking about a country of course that has a significant number of infections but also a significant number of deaths 1st of all are we seeing that likely to increase and secondly do you think is there a sense on the streets that the fact that the president now has the illness might just change his policy towards how the coronavirus is dealt with. Governors here are taking them measures about how to treat it and how to act about. It in brazil not the federal government. Present is controlling. At the same time we are no in. A time that the governors are opening their economy they took a lot of measures that are decreasing the measures of. Controlling. Especially in sao paulo here and in districts for that of the Federal District also in brasilia and rio de janeiro. All the governors are getting back and decreasing the measures they are accepting to open there are students and. The bars the beaches also and this may effect more and increase more as a numbers of infected people here in brazil and the number now is more than 1000000 600000 infected people here in brazil and the same time also more than 67 or 65 sorry a 1000 deaths because of the 1000 in brazil thats haasan most would bring us up to date with the situation with the coronavirus fundament in brazil from sao paulo thank you very much indeed well sure all those are wrong as a Brazilian Affairs political analyst and author he says the balsa not all administration might already be trying to spin this story in a way thats beneficial for the president. I hope he gets healthy that thats not what this is about since last night hes being asking his supporters to stand that way to keep this insane so hes being taken does a little bit more seriously than he was months ago when when the whole social distancing started his going to take a lot of hits from me but then again it can get healthy you know with the amount of fake news and of you know discourse that we been getting from this administration. Hes probably just going to say hes betting on his his doctors that the Health System is sound and surround and that everyone should keep calm and things will be fine. But the fact that hes claiming that hes taking a drug to clerical and and for all that the president has done in this year and a half i do not trust him i do not trust the releases that come out of his recession so i dont know what kind of drugs hes taking or not taking there is sound scientific device not to take lurking at this stage of the disease so you know i also fear that by claiming that hes taking clerical and that other people will. And that he can have and the fires effect on the population i hope for the best i hope that he starts wearing a mask and starts taking this thing more seriously. I also see how care how his own research can spin this news into something that is that it has things is politically better for him. As covering 1000 cases in the u. S. Continue to spike Health Officials are warning theyre running out of time to get the virus under control with few federal guidelines and states have been left to make their own rules for reopening aljazeera as alan fischer examines what it may mean for the u. S. If it cant get the pandemic under control. In texas theres suiting up again is killing a virus cases continue to rise its harder this time teams that cope with the break earlier this year are being asked to go again. Element mental an option specially on the look. We we have it weve got enough control to make but some of. The states to close things dont need to reopen 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 now 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 every version and types of stay at home policies that we had in place in many states previously ologies going to the young poet from an economic you know or a mystery as well as social mental hell. On it since rationing you know go you know were acting like we have you know her now in europe 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 and al jazeera the u. S. Drone strike in january that killed top iranian general hossam so the money was unlawful thats the conclusion of the United Nations special rapporteur on extrajudicial killings agnes come on says the killing went against the u. N. Charter in january the white house said the attack on sort of money was carried out at the direction of the us President Donald Trump and was aimed at deterring future attacks allegedly being planned by iran our diplomatic editor james bays is at the United Nations and has more in the report. Well its a damning report from Agnes Kalamata who is the special ruppert turn as you say on extrajudicial killings worth explaining what that is its an independent expert who is appointed by the Human Rights Council and these reports where she investigates cases of possible extradition killing are then reported back to the u. N. Human Rights Council remember that the u. N. Human Rights Council is not a u. N. Body that the trumpet ministration already look favorably on they pulled out of the un Human Rights Council in 2018 and so i suspect if there is going to be a response from the trumpet ministration it will be an angry response the u. S. Position they say theyve made very clear in a letter they submitted to the Security Council 5 days after the killing of general saddam on need the iranian strategic expert and commander. In which they said it was a case of selfdefense because of the possibility of imminent strikes but in her report Agnes Keller Maher says that there is no evidence that he was planning an imminent attack against u. S. Interests so she says therefore on the basis of the information provided by the u. S. And of course she doesnt have access to any classified intelligence information she believes this was a breach of the u. N. Charter a breach of International Law lets go to our White House CorrespondentKimberly Hawkins who is in washington d. C. Kimberly is james as mentioned there the u. S. Defense for for making the attack at the time was that this was a self defense give us some context if youre well about that argument that it made. Yeah youre absolutely right the Trump Administration has maintained consistently that the reason for the attack the drone strike on general custom monny was because it was necessary to out of birth what they say was an imminent attack on americans now this u. N. Experts that expert on extrajudicial killings has certainly said the opposite in her report as james outlined that the killing of customs in her view was unlawful but she also has said that the United States has not provided any evidence that there was an imminent attack that something that the Top Democrats on some of the top committees in the house of representatives have also maintained that the rationale made by the trumpet administration in its report to congress back in february did not satisfy them in other words they believe that the argument made by the trumpet ministration that it how distorted and that that authority to conduct that killing came under the 2002 iraq war resolution is unfounded they also argue that in no way did the u. S. Have the empowerment of the u. S. Constitution as he claims to defend u. S. National security interests now moving forward this report that has been put forward by agnes kalam are the u. N. Experts will go as james mentioned to geneva on thursday we know that the u. N. Human Rights Council is likely to debate a response but again it is likely to be met with indifference by the United States given the fact that as james pointed out the United States is not a member of the council and its also keenly aware that the u. N. Human Rights Council has very little power to take any action towards the United States so we are watching very carefully to see what more the state department has to say so far it has not issued any Immediate Reaction or comments but is kimberly i know that were going to checking in with you if there is a statement thats our report house correspondent Kimberly Hall could. The u. N. Says a string of airstrikes carried out by the Syrian Government and Russian Forces in amount to war crimes reports identified 52 socalled emblematic attacks between november and june says syria and its russian ally have killed hundreds of people and forced nearly a 1000000 to flee the reports also accuse the.

The Worlds Largest social Media Companies are reviewing their operations in hong kong because of its new National Security law the companies fear the new law passed in beijing but allowed chinas government to gain access to their users personal and Sensitive Data sarah clarke has more from hong kong. A week after the introduction of the new National Security law in Hong Kong Kerry lamb was quick to respond to the International Condemnation of the legislation which has already been used to make arrests the National Security law targets crimes of subversion suspicion terrorism and collusion with foreign forces. In a follow up to this is completely constitutional legal and reasonable i do not understand why certain Foreign Countries a so came to comment on this. The National Security commission which len cheers has unveiled new powers granted to police think through grades without a warrant in special circumstances ordering internet firms and social media to remove content considered a threat to National Security as well as a seizure of their equipment failure to comply with the law risks a 13000. 00 fine and 2 years in jail. Compared with the National Security laws of other countries its a rather mild law its scope is not as broad as that in other countries and even china the tech giants and social Media Companies are not convinced the video sharing app ticktock says it will stop operations in hong kong its owned by chinese internet giant bike dance but isnt available on the mainland the company says its app will no longer be available in hong kong and social media platforms including Facebook Twitter linked in zoom and whatsapp have also announced they will suspend processing government and police requests for user data so i i think theyre worried a. Bit here is already as bad. About this. Ive heard that expression freedom. Its always and i believe the government will take further actions towards these social media platforms i think i can foresee that we wont be able to use these applications in the future the us secretary of state has described chinas new legislation as being an assault on hong kongs freedoms and rights my compiler like and the censorship to the totalitarian state in georgia always famous noble 984 some fear the Chinese CommunistParty Censorship enforced online and is fast coming into effect in the semi autonomous city the government has acknowledged that some people in hong kong are concerned the current i am says its only been a week since the new no was introduced and Education Program will reassure the people that the legislation protects not undermines the citys freedoms sarah clarke aljazeera hong kong. Ok more in the coronavirus pandemic and 5000000 a strains who live in the countrys 2nd largest city melbourne are going back into lockdown after a resurgence in corona virus infections the victoria State Government says the tough measures are the only way to keep the outbreak from spiraling out of control and gauge reports from the capital cambra. After 2 days of record high infections lockdown is returning to melbourne from midnight on wednesday everyone will have to stay at home except for essential reasons including some workers in vital jobs to buy food and medical items and to exercise restaurants will close only takeaways will be allowed there is simply no alternative other than thousands and thousands of cases. And potentially. Many many people in hospital and the inevitable tragedy that will come from that 191 people tested positive for corona virus in victoria on monday not the outcome hoped for after strict social distancing measures were already in forced in some suburbs to try and control the spread of the virus the high numbers leading to the closure of the border with the neighboring state of New South Wales a logistical nightmare with the defense pools and Police Brought in to ensure no one crosses this is something entirely different this is going to affect the travel of my stuff because i have stopped. Living and working on both sides of the border the most concerning part for authorities is that very few of the new coronavirus 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 melbourne 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 theyve had some difficulties with the police and racial. d and its like its being ultra left for some of the young people are safe because. In their perspective the police. Until now is charlie has been successful in suppressing covert 19 infections but returning to lockdown is a major setback as a stray in the attempt to recover from the impending recession and rising unemployment become a gauge aljazeera cambrai iran has announced its highest single day death toll since the start of the covert 1000 outbreak in february the Health Ministry says more than 200 people died in the past 24 hours just last week iran started to really impose some restrictions after a surge in new cases israels Public Health chief has resigned as the nation battles a recent surge in corona virus infections in a Facebook Post a signal that its clear warning that initial successes in handling the outbreak moved towards a dangerous place so thats key added the pandemic was 1st met with Ethical Leadership but no lax authority israel has more than 31000. 00 cases and over 330 fatalities are a force that is reporting on the story from west jerusalem he says so thats kay accused israels government of not acting quickly enough in its handling of the pandemic. 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 phases 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.
