But in georgia the governor there is going to court to ban cities and municipalities making masking in public compulsory brian camp says local orders cant be more restrictive than measures hes put in place his team only strongly are just the willing of masks. The governor has taken a formal position on mass in the state of georgia so whatever the motivation is i think that at the end of the day we all have to do the right thing because its the right thing to do and what the scientists are telling us is that the right thing to do is to wear mask mask are not a political statement mask are a Public Health to a necessary Public Health to the state of georgia continues to send mixed messages to everyone that lives here cases and no such thing in 40 of the 50 states hospitals are being stretched to the limit we were previously seeing about one in 10 or even one in 8 of our tests that we were doing in the community they were coming back positive now were seeing one and or so about 25 percent of all the tests that were doing which weve also ramped up but were seeing more of those that are coming back as that which concerns us for increased transmission in the community the u. S. Government centers for Disease Control recommends winger mask as do most medical professionals but its only mandated in about half the states many retailers have their own policies no mask no service but thats what some angry reactions including one customer drawing a gun in florida you know new yorks governor under cuomo has enlisted one of the most trusted voices in america to get the message across like when you wear a mask you have my respect. Because your mask doesnt protect you. It protects me Morgan Freeman appears on these Public Service announcements america to mask up but its clear the issue has become political and in america in 2020 political means divisive but many governors are warning if things dont improve we need stay at home orders might not be far behind alan fischer aljazeera france is making mosques compulsory in indoor public spaces from next week the ruling follows an increase in cases in some regions mosques were already mandatory on public transport more than 30000 people died in france as a break. In brazil where amber of cases has passed through the worlds 2nd largest outbreak after the us hospitals in some parts of the country are struggling to cope and there are concerns that many infections going on reported due to a lack of testing of zeros to raise a bow reports. This is the old aware of a Public Hospital in the city of qom pinas in brazil just northwest of. Video from the hospital shows there are no available i. C. U. Beds left to treat covert 1000 patients the food it was recorded by a doctor who works at a facility but does not want his identity to be revealed Health Officials in the city have a knowledged the corona virus has become a major Public Health threat as many days with 100 percent of i. C. U. Bed occupation for around 10 days some people had to wait to get an i. C. U. Bait they could all get medical care but had to wait for a vacancy. Even though the number of 1000 cases have started to decrease in brazils main cities it is in smaller ones like im being asked where the number of Coronavirus Infections continue to rise outside the hospital people wait in line to be treated. As one of them hes father is receiving treatment for the disease. Of. Our kind because my father got the disease and hes actually in intensive care right now accompanied him to hospital and since i had flu symptoms of trying to get tested couldnt do it brazils president who tested positive for the virus remains in isolation he says hes being treated with hydroxy chloral queen despite some warning against using the drug by the world health organization. Its worked for me and many people many doctors say it works and not campaigning for this remedy even because the cost is very low i mean thats right some people down for it others feel like doing that for ideological reasons it seems but the fact is its working. Well for not always being criticized for his handling of the crisis caused by covert 1000 he opposed lockdowns who referred to the disease early on as a little flu to Health Ministers resigned because of differences of opinion with the president now the ministries being run by an active duty military general sees a lot of the bus willow took office at least 25 members of the military have been appointed in his Ministry HumanRights Groups say they are concerned we have like 9 ministers and military. 3000 people in your hard ministration is the biggest number. You can read an invite to clerk in the ministry of health she was challenging all ministers that there were doctors and there were not. And were not then i always. Told somebody who will follow his instructions. So its. Very troubling and you can tell us over 75000 people have died of covert 19 in brazil many people believe those deaths could have been prevented evil only the president had responded differently they said will. Nearly a dozen states in india have reimposed lock downs after a spike in infections coronavirus cases there are expected to pass 1000000 in the next day with testing Still Limited its fall for the true number of cases could be much higher than the 25000. 00 people have died so far.

Isnt doing enough to stop violations by countries like the United Arab Emirates or egypt peter millet is a former British Ambassador to libya he says the arms embargo needs to be fully monitored. Unfortunately the european voice has been divided for well over 12 months partly because countries like france have been backing heft are the greeks and the cypriots have now jumped on that bandwagon to oppose turkish support for the Governments National accord so europe has been unable to speak with a single voice operationally rini was which is not rationed to monitor the arms embargo was a well meaning initiative but since it only monitors Sea Transport and not air transport it is really only monitoring turkeys potential violations of the un been arms involved of not violations of violations which are flown in by the emirates on gypsies or the russians in particular from the u.
