Company time is nearly up for china to shut its Consular Office in the u. S. City of houston over spying claims but the crisis between the 2 countries is only intensifying a Chinese Research or taken refuge in the San FranciscoConsular Office is expected in court soon accused of hiding her military connection when she applied for her. U. S. Visa in houston chinese consular staff have been busy clearing out less than 3 hours now remain to the closure deadline the u. S. Ordered the move to protect American Intellectual property well Chinas Foreign Ministry call vatanen justifiable act and then retaliate has ordered the u. S. Consulate in chengdu to close our White House Correspondent can we help it joins us now from washington d. C. Its been a very busy day and continues to be kimberly just bring us up to speed on this arrest in San Francisco it is you would say directly and indirectly related to the spat between china and the u. S. Now theres no question that the u. S. Is escalating its actions towards china this is the latest example of that let me just give you a little context of how this all happened this Chinese Researcher entered the United States in march of last year and it is alleged that she misrepresented her background on her visa application that is why she is charged with visa fraud this is a penalty if convicted of 10 years 250000 dollars if convicted now what seemed to happen here is that there was an interview with the f. B. I. A couple of days ago or shortly after that interview we understand she sought refuge in the chinese consulate in San Francisco now u. S. Authorities cannot enter this property so it appears she may have surrendered herself voluntarily to appear in court via video link now the allegations that all of this she says she came over to do bio Biology Research at the university of california davis but in fact again the United States says that that she was working with the Chinese Military and again violating charges in terms of these a fraud so that is what she will be facing here in the United States as the u. S. Is clamping down taking strick action against the against the china the number of actions that have taken place in the last few weeks indeed i mean will windows will be endgame is kimberly because at the end of the day china and the u. S. Continue to talk to each other on Different Levels on a range of different subjects at least to discuss what are they going to do about this particular incident. Well the latest coming from the press secretary kelly machinating in just the last few moments shes holding a press briefing that may have just wrapped up but in it she made a statement essentially saying that the United States is calling on china to see that its malign activity whether it be the actions of this research or working with the military whether it be the actions in the consulate in houston the view of the United States is that essentially china has not been offering the same level of diplomacy that the United States says it has been offering that in fact that this consulate in houston was really being used for illegal spying for influence operations and they are calling for this to end but they are also calling for an end to what they call tit for tat retaliation referring to the closure of the u. S. Consulate in chengdu now in the midst of all of this you should remember that the United States has kind of had strategic competition with china for about the last 4 decades but the view of the United States is enough is enough they say they met in new york city last month why you just before that they once again pleaded with chinese officials to operate with essentially clean hands they allege that china continued to conduct itself business as usual and thats why the United States says it is taking this action for the update complete how could i want to post correspondent thank you. Well chinas foreign minister. Is calling on the u. S. To reverse what he calls its wrong decision in the meantime the focus is turning to the u. S. Consular office in chengdu which must be closed by monday between e. U. Is that for us. Were here in downtown chengdu and this is the new as consulate and there are a lot of policemen here that doesnt Police Officers also are monitoring the crowds this entire street has been blocked off to cars since the chinese Foreign Ministry made the announcement that the u. S. Consulate here would have to close but the best rooms are allowed to walk behind are quite a few of them passing by taking photos taking selfies its become quite a Tourist Destination now china hasnt said exactly why its targeting this consulate all it said though is that there are some u. S. Officials who work here with they say have been engaged in activities that are not consistent with their capacity we also know that its quite significant operation to the southwest of china deals with us this is nearby acts as an active listening post for events taking place in and tibet now the chinese Foreign Ministry has said that they do not want to do this it did not want to have to close the consulate here but they were false by the u. S. One year chinas top diplomat has laid the blame for the worsening ties between time and u. S. Completely at the foot of washington and he says that its up to washington now to mend and rebuild those ties and china says if the u. S. Does not pull back from the station to close the embassy in texas china will have no choice but to hit back measure for measure. Rubin is a former Deputy Assistant secretary of state under president barack obama he says the u. S. China relationship is becoming more strained and will be difficult to repair. We are slipping in appears into a new cold war and its this strange combination that we have right now in our american politics which is the domestic political pressure combined with longstanding grievances and concerns between the United States and china and its really dynamic that he doesnt seem to have any brakes on that are there no guardrails what the administration is doing is clearly a coordinated campaign right now from inside the trump ministration to attack china on multiple fronts but the goal is not clear and theres a broad critique that essentially boils down to the United States of failed china is getting away with things that they shouldnt be and we have to stop it and thats about where it ends secretary pompei o is not called for regime change in china but he is constantly attacking the Chinese Communist party in language that is very reminiscent of that kind of objective and where does that take us its not clear and with President Trump getting more desperate in this election season its very concerning that his rhetoric will continue to be very hostile to china President Trump is now and then on the path that he appears to be heading on hes going to be very concerned about politically looking like hes giving to china so he may be asking china like he did ask parents according to john boltons book that china helped him get reelected and maybe hell come up with a breakthrough but thats very thats very much guesswork which means that we could see this kind of rhetoric all the way through the election and then a lot of repair work to be done regardless of whos in the white house after november. So the state of florida has reported a Record Number of people being admitted to hospital and it has confirmed 12000 new cases of covert 19 knots in a single day the state is the epicenter of the u. S. Break president all trump has canceled the Republican Party convention thats supposed to be held next month now a member of the u. S. Code of virus task force urging the country to change its behavior we are already starting to see. Towing in these critically 4 states that have really suffered under the last 4 weeks so texas california arizona and florida those major metros and threw out their counties and i just want to make it clear to the American Public what we have right now are essentially 3 new yorks with these 3 major states and so were really having to respond as an American People and thats why you hear us calling for mass and increase social distancing. From miami 24 hours ago we were talking about this very thing and the i mean infections are soaring florida really becoming the new epicenter for the u. S. Yeah more than 12000. 00 new cases announced on friday another 135. 00 deaths more than 400000 cases in total and the death toll is creeping steadily up towards 6000. 00 so there is no one in this state i think that can claim that any of these figures are plotting in fact for the past 2 weeks weve had at least 10000 cases each and every day on july the 12th it was close to 15000. 00 and the infection rate is hovering anywhere between 10 and 14 percent now the approach here to tackle this pandemic is very much a patchwork approach youve got the governor of the state run the scientists not mandating mask wearing not talking about businesses re closing and encouraging parents to send their children to school here in miami dade which is the worst affected county in this state the mayor of miami has mandated mask where in fact hes got a squad of Police Officers out on the streets enforcing that new rule handing out fines to people that wont do that so i think the question for many residents here is when will the leadership of the state run to santas make some decisions that will curb whats going on right now because as things stand every single day were seeing more and more cases and losing more and more residents you touched on the issue of schools and the voice of reason many think and found shes been speaking specifically about the topic its a real worry for floridians it is i mean school is supposed to start next month Online Learning from many parents here including myself isnt really working very well for children so there is a push i think from both President Trump and ron to scientists the government here to get children back into school but dr anthony found she talked about the uncertainty of that the Science Behind it lets just listen to what he had to say. I think we still need to learn a lot about children you know Elementary School children getting infected what the percentage of their infection is and whether they either spread or not efficiently 2 adults a recent study came out that showed children up to 10 years old it looks like they dont necessarily spread infection as readily as adults do whereas children 10. 00 to 19. 00 appear to be spreading infection to adults as equally as well as adults spread to adults yet theres still a lot to learn about what the prevalence and incidence of infection is in children and as a group do they spread do they get any bodies whats the in family spread or not so a lot of uncertainty behind people sending their children back to school but in a rare personal by mid dr anthony fact she also talked about the threats hes been getting to not just himself but also to his children its now believed that he has a security detail despite being seen by many as a voice of reason and gallagher thanks very much in miami. Still ahead here on the news hour. Drama in the skies over syria passengers are heard on a rainy and plain as its tailed by a u. S. Fighter jet. And theyre the worst monsoon rains in years well hear from people in fact countries like the poll among others. Also in sports an individual award for the player who led the cs Outstanding Premier League team in. An order has gone out for urgent safety checks on the worlds most popular passenger jet the emergency directive from the federal Aviation Administration in the u. S. Applies to 737 next generation and classic ak raft that are not flown for at least a week the regulator warned the jets may have corrosion that could lead to engine failure after it received 4 reports of unexpected shutdowns michaela joins me now from washington d. C. To expand on this i mean what are boeing saying about this mike. Also what burning has done is inform to all the operators of these airlines off the news from the f. A. A. The operators are all insistent that this will not affect their operations in any way essentially what happened is that the f. A. A. Says it received 4 separate reports of single engine failure on the 7371 of them on Alaskan Airlines now the planes were able to land safely but on further investigation the f. A. A. Found that one of the valves on the engine was blocking because a number of aircraft have essentially been left in the hangars because demand has dropped during the pandemic so what the f. A. A. Is now saying to all the operators is to go there check these planes any plane that has not flown for a week to check the valves on the plane and if necessary to replace it the fear of the f. A. A. Is that both engines could go at the same time which of course would be a major disaster as i state that the planes that have been affected all landed safely the operators the major aircraft operators within the United States say this will not affect their operations in any way they will simply envelop in it in a normal maintenance protocol michaela in washington d. C. Thank you well totos isnt alone so to commentator under former pilot he says engineers should have enough time to fix the issue given the slowdown of the aviation industry. Its going to cause a bit of france you cant seriously i imagine i mean fortunately the slowdown in aviation d will help them a little bit in as much as it is croft stores are affected and its not as if its a major structural corrosion issue its to do with lead a valve in the engine which should be possible to rectify fairly easily any aircraft that risk coming out of storage d was very carefully checked by Engineering Department the pilots preflight checks are really related to observing the outside of the aircraft to make sure that theres nothing or yes we have mess no release no damage no contamination in the way of ice or anything like that. But engineering stuff like engine valves is something that you wouldnt know about until you had a problem in the federal Aviation Administration. Probably got a little bit wake up call i think off to the max a bottle and i imagine that theyre being very careful its a world famous landmark prevented by both muslims and christians turkeys i guess a fear has gone from museum to mosque. Hundreds of thousands gathered in istanbul for the 1st friday prayers held there for more than 85 years last 3 turkish president reza tabor one announced that the conversion of the building after a court ruling.

Prisons are gone was the primary gas of years of fear today he had around 1000 invitees some of them were even foreign politicians from other muslim countries there was a high level delegation among the turkish politics but thousands gathered here just to be able to attend in the 1st 3 years to witness this historical moment in their terms and their emotions some of them even even crying. Just because they were able to share this moment with tradition since in the. Hunger sophia was turned to a museum and during 8 to 6 years there were just. Some minor prayers sided people feel like they are taking a symbol back from a Foreign Force or something because some of the people that i have spoken
