The spread of the virus. Was. The democratic republic of congo appoints a new Electoral Commission chief sparking violent protests. Welcome to the program one of the worlds most strategic stretches of water could be about to become a new point of tension between the u. S. And china u. S. Secretary of state mike pompei it says beijings claims to the South China Sea are completely unlawful and they will not be allowed to treat the area as its narrow time empire its rich in oil gas and fishing resources and china is Building Military bases on several atolls but 5 South East Asian nations also claim parts of the sea the last in the last week the us navy held military exercises that will try. Claims about 90 percent of the south trying to seeing through going to ship the sprightly arlens which also claimed by the philippines vietnam of those its called reef its claimed by china and the philippines not to speak because 8 years ago when the Philippine Navy apprehended a to mainland chinese Fishing Vessels in the area i want us Corresponding Committee help explain the significance of pump statement well i think whats so pronounced about this is the fact that up until now the u. S. Had always maintained that when it came to disputes in these territorial waters and the claims that china has made in those waters that this really needed to be resolved at un backed arbitration so this is a complete departure from that standpoint the u. S. Secretary of state in his statement as well as tweets as you mentioned coming out very strong cues in china of bullying accusing china of being completely unlawful of its claims and making clear that the United States is now standing with its Southeast Asian partners in terms of moving forward that they have been concerned for some time about what they call chinas increasing assertiveness and have completely rejected the claims now i again this is something that we had expected but what we see is this kind of tit for tat that has been going on for days we heard from the National Security adviser Robert Obrian as late as late last week saying that we could expect tough action towards china its clear that this is the intention of the administration to send a very strong message to the golden g. Trying is a china list based in the u. S. He says beijing is provoking tension in the region. I do believe we have a Tipping Point because the United States and indeed a lot of other countries are deciding that they are not going to ignore unacceptable behavior on digits part we have seen especially since february of this year china act in ways which our expression a dangerous and its pushing against india 6 South China Sea and East China Sea nations the stress of invasion of taiwan the increased tempo of dangerous intercepts of the u. S. Navy and the Global Commons so beijing is driving this now theres a lot of disagreement over why china is doing this but the point is china is doing this well the next step is really going to be up to china i think that the issue is going to be driven in part by chinas purchases under the phase one trade deal that was signed january 15th china has made it clear that its not going to be meeting its schedule of purchase goods and services so that is part of the underlying tension but its also you know chinas geo political moves to try to grab territory and try to grab the global comments so i think this is largely in chinas court because countries including the United States are really reacting to what beijing is doing a warning from the World Health Organization that too many nations are heading in the wrong direction virus cases top 13000000 general dr tendre all says that theyll be no return to the old normal in the to see able future well californias governor has just ordered indoor restaurants bars and movie that is to close again on 2 of the states Largest School districts los angeles and san diego will only have online classes when schools resume next month for the 1st time since the start of the pandemic latin america has seen the number of covert related deaths exceed those in north america and face coverings are to become compulsory for shoppers an england from july the 24th. Ali moore is chief Strategy Officer in Population Health at the university of washington joins me now via skype from seattle good to have you with us on the program when the w. H. O. Says too many countries are heading in the wrong direction in your opinion what does that mean is it quarantine lock down testing track and trace all of the above all of that fortunately because it was seen as an infection as in most families asian and we started seeing it in more fortune. I mean the talk is of basic health care precautions but theyve been talking about from the start i mean wearing a mask and its importance is spearheading the change if it is it about the thought processes people now need to consider what needs to change. You know what has happened people early on when we look at the mandates more careful they were in the masks and they were staying away from each as theyre letting the. Guard and youre seeing this is us an infection we all saw places. Where the infection is most likely. Personally im on going on generation x. The whole dozens of it in mass in away from each other washing your hands in order to prevent disability of the virus the issue of the mask and wearing it depends you might say the attitude on wearing it depends on where you are where you live in the world some people are ridiculing wearing the mask some dont believe there is a virus there are there are different ways of that governments have to think about tackling the psyche behind wearing a mask is there not. Yes fear there but it does so many asian was the public and Health Education is very important right now we need to remind each other this is a virus that we have over half a 1000000. And also it might each of us and then our physicians wear masks and thats why were not seeing a lot of infections and hospitals in fact my hospital is safer than my city and a hospital and less likely to get government in than if i am in the city of seattle just to remind our viewers as well across the world are we any closer now to really knowing how the virus is transmitted many theories about air touch water. And how long it survives depending on the mode of transport it takes within the air or what if its people to people contact. So again this is a new virus we dont know as much as we should about it but yes sort of only know that it can be air war and then there are messages where in the mask the virus will that you have from me here im wearing a mask in case an innocent demanded also for me to myself from you and me to stay away from you so its a combination of behaviors that yes you know enough masks and staying away from each as a watching. Commonly used as a key and the as the bias so if you can just recap really on the main thrust of the news story so far the talk at the moment is about the reopening of locations and shops consumer areas but were seeing a reaction to this in the upsurge of cases i mean what do the authorities now really need to consider in terms of a lockdown or easing a social distancing that there has to be a new approach because no matter what theyve tried in the past few weeks its not working and with schools or the thought of schools opening in the next few weeks there is a real worry about what social distancing really means now in reality. You know the we have a lot of experiments unfortunately going on so if you did the United States for example the case is going up right now but who are able to control the. First minute when it be done so we are able to do that a lot in our behaviors. And the message as we move forward its the way to mass it with on each other thats why i keep repeating 1000000 masks but also the people and the virus and you may have you may have to go into another not cancel or 6 weeks but we have to be there for it. From the university of washington joining me from seattle thanks so much for times thank you now thousands of demonstrators gathered in the democratic republic of congos capital in defiance of a ban on protests there angry over the choice of a new Electoral Commission chief opposition politicians accuse runs on longer of being complicit in the rigging of past elections they say milan is biased towards former president just as can be who formed a Coalition Government with president Felix Tasha Katie could be less step down last year after nearly 2 decades in office but as allies hold a parliamentary majority and control most cabinet ministries just last month proposed judicial reforms that also sparked protests the reforms would have given pardon me the Justice Minister more powers.

My family my people my confidence as a commander of the Kosovo Liberation Army or kalay that he is accused of his role in the killings of serbs cos of a other at mc groups but she denied the accusations and says it was a clean and just war more than 13000. 00 people died during the war which ended after 70 days of nato airstrikes its rare for a sitting president to face questioning over allegations of war crimes here at the hague. Has been accused of obstructing the special court says that this process is the price he will have to pay for peace a process that brings back memories of the long apnic battle in a bloody and complicated war but there are fears the allegations about events happening decades ago could cost even more problems now the dialogue between crosser and serbia that is restarting with the facilitation of European Union is in trouble because russians are she was a keen. Representative of course with this dialogue the courts will decide before october 24th if she will go on trial the cost of 1. 00 president has announced he will resign if that happens step class and aljazeera the hague. Its been more than 3 years since 4 arab states imposed a land sea and air embargo on cattle and its legal bid to remove the air blockade now hinges on a ruling by the International Court of justice due to be given on choose day. Has more. For qatar is this has been a long battle on many fronts the International Court of justice is to issue its verdict on a dispute over air space riots it began in june 2017 when sandy arabia u. A. E. But her reign and egypt severed ties with qatar and imposed a land sea and air blockade. Qatar took the case to the un calling on the International Civil Aviation Authority to declare the blockade illegal as part of the dispute the blockade in countries have barred qatari aircraft from entering their space which qatar says violates the convention on International Civil aviation referred to as the Chicago Convention of locating countries challenge the qatari move saying the u. N. Agency doesnt have jurisdiction to handle the case but into a 1018 the International Civil Aviation Authority rejected that claim insisting that it does have jurisdiction to mars stone but we are not there yet in terms of qatars progress because while qatar will move a step closer into regaining airspace access that they like the rest of the world are entitled to fly over actually i k i have never dealt with anything quite like this in over their 70 years of existence then you can expect running in parallel to this a separate case that will be seeking compensation this isnt the 1st legal fight between qatar and its neighbors in 2018 the qatari government took legal action against the u. A. E. At the hague based court accusing it of a series of measures targeting qatari nationals those measures broke up families denied qataris today and access to universities and medical facilities in the u. A. E. The Court Ordered the u. A. E. To allow families to be reunited and qatari students to be given the chance to complete their education in the emirates but i think thats part of the structure. You know theyre going to. Use them as a person to Group Doctors that. You need to have a solidly saying that the block war was outlawed or the consequences or blockade results in legitimate legal action terry International Efforts to mend fences between the blockade in countries have so far failed and the International Community has long been concerned that the blockade of qatar has undermined stability in the region.
