Nothing is impossible especially when social peace is in danger and requires that i intervene as the guarantor of the security and well being of each and every one in the days to come the members of the Constitutional Court will be replaced and will be put into operation as quickly as possible around the total number of confirmed coronavirus cases has passed the 250000 mark the Health Ministry reports more than 2000 new infections in the past 24 hours with 221 more deaths relaxing of lockdown measures has seen a new spike in cases president Hassan Rouhani has announced new products means for people not Wearing Masks and for workplaces that dont implement social distancing. Well despite the warnings the world wasnt ready that was the World Health Organizations concession as it launched an independent panel to scrutinize its handling of the pandemic and the response of governments covered 19 related deaths and now about 450000 global infections have soared beyond 12000000 our systems were not ready our communities were not ready our supply chain school lapsed its time for a very honest reflection all of us must look in the mirror. Every member state all involved in the response everyone. Were in the midst of this bottle. The bottom of our lives and we have to do better authorities in russia have dug a trench around a small village in a bid to contain an outbreak of corona virus dozens of residents in the remote siberian village have been infected no one is allowed to leave and only medical workers and food deliveries are being allowed in the trenches are in place to discourage tourists from entering the village current virus or strip sions are being eased on some Public Housing blocks in melbourne where people havent been able to leave for any reason since last weekend it comes as melbournes 5000000 residents will now be barred from leaving home for 6 weeks except for essential reasons borders between victoria and neighboring states were shut down on tuesday marco bashar is a journalist at the age newspaper in melbourne he explains why the cities see the surgeon infections while the rest of australia as reported barely any new cases. As far as we can tell we can trace it back to the 5 years of Hotel Quarantine so a lot of returning australians were put into hotels for 14 days to quarantine unfortunately dictatorial unlike other states that ive seen by security guards who feel high and ill try and and a many bridges of quarantine could during those couple of weeks and that crisis sames the security guards themselves have sprayed this virus out into the suburbs and among their families and into the schools and so on and so forth and of course we know how wildly picture cities so that same city of see did this this resurgence in the pen demick well initially in the not before the like the lockdown there were people out on the streets having enjoying the last opportunity to eating at restaurants and so on beyond that the businesses have been very upset they had only just reopened restaurants cafes cobs that only just reopened they spent a lot of money on stock refreshing you know they they stock and rehiring people and now theyve had to close down again so there are a lot of people saying that this will probably kill them off and as businesses Going Forward beyond that i think there is such resignation people think that this pandemic is not going away any serious and that theyre just going to have to undo it. Were sending out to our top story the Supreme Court ruling on president Donald Trumps tax returns donald trump has now reacted on twitter talking about the Supreme Court sending the case back to the lower Court Arguments to continue going on to say this is a political prosecution talking about how he won what he calls the which hunt and saying as to keep fighting a politically corrupt new york lets bring in a guest now we have Scott Anderson hes a fellow in governance studies from the Brookings Institution of washington d. C. Thank you so much for your time scott can you explain this ruling for us the records these financial records tax. Records being released to the new York District attorney but not to congress how does that work. Thats correct and there were 2 separate opinions issued today each of which relates to a separate set of subpoenas and requests for those documents one was from the state of new york and their Law Enforcement branch which was seeking to subpoena the president s financial records regards to investigations regarding Business Activities there the court confirmed that they should receive those records essentially they rejected arguments by the president and by the United States asserting that when you request records as a state from the president theres a higher standard involved that you defeat them here so the new york government will get those records but that does not necessarily mean theyre going to become public anytime soon the other lawsuit related to a series of subpoenas by the house of representatives or by part of the United States congress and the spring Court Essentially held that the lower court hadnt adequately consider those issues it rejected at least a majority of justice rejected the very bold arguments saying that those subpoenas should be rejected that the president advanced but they nonetheless said the lower court needs to go back and look at the issue again and consider a range of other factors that means that those requests are going to be the subject of ongoing litigation and again are unlikely to result in the production of the president s tax records before the november election ok and this in some way been a test of the limits of president ial immunity and what sort of precedent does this set Going Forward. Absolutely in both cases the president advanced and in some cases was supported by that his Justice Department in making very broad assertions about the limits on the ability of states and congress to investigate the president s activities and almost across those board those arguments are really rejected by 7 justices for important clued in Justice Cavanaugh and justice for such president trying to reason appointees that said elease in the congressional case the Supreme Court said that there were still issues of concern here that were legitimate and regarding how these requests will impact the president s ability to pursue his job and separation of powers concerns those are the issues theyre sending back to the lower court to have the lower court take another look at and develop further in their analysis of whether the subpoena should be enforced or not what do you think it is that that donald trump is more worried could be revealed what is it that that the democrats are hoping is revealed. Thats a good question and i dont really know the currently possible the president has pursued maybe unorthodox Business Practices unorthodox business relationships unorthodox tax practices and in many cases people suggest that they may be related to loans or procedures he from businesses with russia or with other foreign governments that the president and his Business Associates of claim that theyve severed ties with or brought him back business from we dont really know that part of the mystery around these doctrines thats part of the reason people want to see them at this case though they are going to really become much bigger its about the separation of powers between co
