Vietnam has been viewed as a Success Story during the covert 1000 pandemic through centralized quarantine and strict Contact Tracing the country of 95000000 people had no deaths from the disease with the borders sealed the government encouraged to travel. But things took a turn for the worse last weekend when the central city of denying was hit by an outbreak the 1st cases of local transmission in months the city was locked down and domestic tourists were sent home just before the airport was shut for 2 weeks and now there are cases linked to demand in vietnams 2 largest cities and city and even in the Central Highlands the Prime Minister has called on all regions to be on alert and then old provinces doing high risk all provinces should raise their alert level chairman and general secretaries of each province should take action how should the entire political system. One case in the capitol hill no it was a worker at a pizza restaurant who had returned from a trip today despite these cases some feel that the government has the ability to control the potential next wave of covert 19. Ministry of health has gained much more experience in combating to virus and his face waves this time i think them also pos quite soon because we have experience and in hong kong which so far has been spared from a high number of cases the citys leader is warning of a potential large scale outbreak after local transmissions surged the most strict measures since the outbreak began were enacted on wednesday for at least a week no gatherings of more than 2 people and no dining in restaurants thailand has also been viewed as a Success Story with no locally transmitted cases in more than 60 days time officials are no doubt looking nervously at their neighbors after these recent spikes in cases of 90 mm thats because the government here has also encouraged Domestic Travel and tourism to help the ailing economy aljazeera bangkok and is with anonymous in new delhi and explains why indias infection rates may be far higher than the other official figures. The results are very much a reflection of what independent Health Experts have been saying for a long time now which is that because india is still not conducting enough tests it has one of the Lowest Per Capita testing in the world that the real number of infections in india are at least 10 times the reported number and possibly even up to 40 times while the official number for mumbai is around 100. 00 and again its a fraction of the millions who. Says have antibodies and this is very much in line with the last one which was done in the capital. Last week showed that its 20000000 people have antibodies have had coronavirus and here in the cases have been coming down the last few weeks bought yesterday on tuesday. To explain why its conducting off the number of the most accurate. Tests that its capable of and conducting twice that number of tests which as accurate so. That its coming down. To conduct more tests and to conduct more tests all over the country the Prime Minister promised in the. In mumbai not far from. Noida and also in kolkata to continue with this drive to test more people to have a more accurate picture of the situation in the country. But here governments being criticised by its own m. P. s for discharging functions of patients from hospitals into care homes without testing them 1st across Party Committee report says the initial decision was reckless polling that accused ministers of being slow to support social care during the crisis around 25 patients were sent to care homes in england in march and april to free up hospital. More than the british reports. In london rory these are very strong words the decision was reckless appalling. Yeah they are tough words youre right that theyve come from the Public Accounts Committee he says as a Cross Party Group of m. P. s that essentially its haast with scrutinizing government policy and working out whether a sufficient and effective they look at spending they look at how well the policy is actually done and in this report theyve been looking at the health and social care sexes and how government policy. Is to react well or badly to the coronavirus pandemic and they were looking at lots of Different Things by various different recommendations but youre right there toughest language and then most strident criticism was to do with this policy that was put into practice late march and the 1st half of april and this was a time when they or everyone was expecting a huge onslaught of coronavirus patients to hit the National Health service and the governor was frantically trying to free out beds inside the n. H. S. And one of the things they did to free up beds was to ask hospitals to discharge patients who would be medically fit many of those were elderly and many of those people had come from care homes and then was sent back into care homes and crucially they were sent back into care homes without being tested so we dont know how many people died as a result of this but we do know that their care home saxa was. Dramatically hits by coronavirus with a huge number of deaths maybe some of those were voidable and we can listen now to make him leah who is the chair of the Public Accounts Committee how she describes it. It was an appalling era just as soon you could take people out of hospital which was in itself not a bad thing but then just to put them into cat homes without the right protection around them and what was really bad was when this became more apparent so the government has a we perhaps werent sure about it well you can argue about that but when it became more apparent there wasnt really then a solution on the proper support and yet the minister was talking about a ring of support around care homes they feel empty words now when you know what happened people dying alone without their family there. So what this report is intended to do is to make sure that the deficiencies are mistakes that the government committed in its response to the initial wave of coronavirus these and repeated repeated for any 2nd wave for if and when it comes along the the committee is requiring the government to responds to its recommendations by september. Rory just briefly we were also talking an hour on in the program about the fact that the u. K. Has instituted this 2 week quarantine for people returning to the u. K. From spain i know theres been a certain amount of speculation in the u. K. About 5 or not other countries are going to be added to that do we have any more information about what is going on. You know this is still speculative we know who that Boris Johnson has been talking up what he says is already a 2nd wave taking place in europe at the moment that spain was at its at the core and seeing list over the weekend in a somewhat of a surprise move countries that are being talked about that might follow spain of belgium luxembourg croatia but nothing definitive yes of course the travel industry is up in arms of the moment saying this is a. Policy that leaves everyone in chaos that people cant predict whether theyre going to quarantine when they get back from any country that they might be traveling to over the next few days and they want to see different measures taken they want to see perhaps testing be done to airports testing being done what an after week after you get back to being more specific about the areas that people are trying to not blanket bans blanket quarantine for a whole countries story johns reporting for us from london rory thank you very much indeed well the i know muslim pilgrimage to mecca known as the hobs has begun under very different circumstances this year millions usually travel to saudi arabia but for the 1st time in modern history worshippers from abroad are not allowed to take part authorities have cordoned off the holy called saying pilgrims will not be able to touch it it is the kingdoms 2nd biggest source of revenue after oil bringing in billions of dollars from all one called the mountain is director of Political Studies at the out of center for search and policy studies and hes joining us here in doha by skype thank you very much indeed for being on the program just how significant is this change to saudi arabia. I think its pretty significant because im so here and yes that of the 9 employees in case number one is mainly that ive talked to factors that the last one was being the host and because of what youre going to do about him most and the hogan eyes are of the most important picture that was just a joy its not just how just. Because of the kind of uncovered circumstances because the koran of course i mean so i get it you dont want to be able actually to organize as as usual and the 2nd fact of course as you know is as all get in is that its the major oil exporter in the world and as you said also that would have picked some good it yet because given up the collapse and like i say is sort of get it also by not being able to organize hijazi which is what it is it was a more as i put it in what i saw something come when i mean when because i saw it it gets more than 50 but even though thats a. Big images coming and changing but either ive been tied up to hide or soul and i talk about dying which is a big thing nice quality so decent are the 2 main effects that i want back in saudi arabia what is it its that mean as that is to get up to all of your wants and the other one is you know is in this media source following the call give me im going to interrupt you there because i wanted to take offense to the white house i believe it is distance for a live event. This includes optimizing our force presence worldwide directing our time money and manpower toward our highest priorities implementing our Immediate Response force contingency Response Force and Dynamic Force employment enhanced readiness concepts and moving toward greater use of Rotational Forces from the United States to enhance our strategic flexibility and operational unpredictability as weve done over the past few months with our bomber task forces. Were pursuing several other initiatives under this rubric as well there are currently more than a half dozen combat command reviews underway beginning with u. S. Africa command which began late last year and most recent being u. S. Space command today we want to update you on the status of our u. S. European command review which was accelerated with the president s decision in early june to reduce our footprint in germany and our plans to reposition our forces in europe to be better situated for Great Power Competition. It is important to note that in natos 71 year history the size composition and disposition of u. S. Forces in europe has changed many times sometimes this is been a result of changes in the threat sometimes because of other changes in the International Environment and sometimes simply because the borders between nato countries and russia have shifted as new allies have joined as weve entered a new era of Great Power Competition we are now at another one of those inflection points in nato history and im confident the alliance will be all the better and stronger for it since june eucom is done excellent work in developing a plan that achieves the president s objective and meets the following 5 principles that i gave general walters as he and his staff began their planning 1st enhanced deterrence of russia 2nd strengthen nato 3rd reassure allies 4th improve u. S. Strategic books ability and you come Operational Flexibility and 5th take care of our Service Members and their families in the process the president approved the eucom plan in late june we briefed key members of Congress Last week and the team and i spoke with nato secretary general stoltenberg and directly affected allies over the past few days as we share the plan with you i want to note that this plan is subject to and likely will change to some degree as it evolves over time. The current eucom plan worry position approximately 11900 military personnel from germany from roughly 36000 down 224000 in a manner that will strengthen nato and hance the deterrence of russia and make the other principles i set forth of the 11900 nearly 5600 Service Members we will be repositioned within nato countries and approximately 6400 will return to the United States though many of these or similar units will begin conducting rotational deployments back to europe the Broad Strokes of these moves are as follows. First various United States headquarters will be consolidated in locations in europe outside of germany including in some cases colocating at the same locations as their nato counterparts in belgium and italy this will strengthen nato and improve the Operational Efficiency and readiness of over 2000 Service Members in these headquarters 2nd the nearly 4500 members of the 2nd cavalry regiment will return to the United States as other stryker units begin continuous rotations farther east in the black sea region giving us a more enduring presence to enhance deterrence and reassure allies along natos southeastern flank 3rd the 25th 2500. 00 airmen based in milton hall United Kingdom who are responsible for Aerial Refueling and special operations and who had been scheduled to rebase to germany will remain in the United Kingdom thus ensuring the an in an interrupt the readiness and responsiveness of these units 4th a Fighter Squadron and elements of a fighter wing will be repositioned to italy moving them closer to the black sea region and better capable of conducting Dynamic Force implements and rotational deployments to nato south eastern flank. In addition to these moves and the Rotational Forces announced by President Trump and polish president due to end 21000. 00 we also plan on rotating for the late element of the armys newly established 5th Corps Headquarters to poland once were saw signs a defense Cooperation Agreement and burden sharing deal as previously pledged there are may be other opportunities as well to move Additional Forces into poland and the baltics our aim is to implement these moves as expeditiously as expeditiously as possible consistent with the principles i set forth from the get from the beginning particularly being fair to and taking care of our Service Members and their families we could see some moves begin within weeks others will take longer as anyone can see the repositioning of our forces in europe constitutes a major strategic and positive shift wholly in line with the n. D. S. And consistent with other adjustments to the United States just means the United States has made within nato in previous times these changes will achieve the Core Principles of enhancing u. S. And nato deterrence of russia strengthening nato reassuring allies and improving u. S. Strategic flexibility and eucom Operational Flexibility and of course at all times we were prior ties our most important resource our Service Members and their families no moves will take place without thorough communication with our people continue to engage with congress and consultation with our allies thank you and i will now turn it over to the vice chairman of the joint chiefs of staff general hayden and then you come commander general walters. Thank you mr searcher good morning everyone and thanks for being here today. Looking back at history nato was established more than 70 years and youre watching aljazeera t
