In limbo as politicians disagree over extending benefits for those that are jobless by this pandemic. And a nasa team is about to start returning to us and whats expected to be the fastest sea landing for u. S. Astronauts in 45 years take a look this is the scene right now at the International Space station. Now its the largest protest israel has seen in a decade for the 3rd straight week thousands gathered outside Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu his official residence demanding that he resign theres frustration over the governments handling of the krona Virus Outbreak as well as the corruption charges that netanyahu faces a force of reports from westerners. Its becoming a saturday night ritual in the square close to Benjamin Netanyahu official residence early evening and the policemen increasingly riposte barricades by the. Testers renew their demand that netanyahu leave office the socalled black Flag Movement has long insisted that a Prime Minister on trial for alleged corruption a step down they say the pandemic has brought new supporters to their cause and colvin just like gave us all slap in the face and made us wake up to the reality that. Nothing is changing and we needed changing we need now the people are all over upset and. Theyre in the house they dont have a war they dont have jobs they dont have food something. And are waking up waking up their leaders have disappointed us and they didnt do their job so they grow up to contract with the citizens and now the citizens are coming together to make them i did do the job and go home i in recent weeks protesters have risked water cannon and arrest as well as threats of an actual physical assault by right wing groups the Prime Minister has labeled them anarchists complained himself of Death Threats and criticized the media for focusing on the demonstrations nonetheless the numbers on the streets of only risen saturdays protest in west jerusalem thought to be the biggest yet weeks and there is no sense of the momentum of these protests is slowing no sense that people may get tired of coming out onto the streets with such frequency the question is what effect all this will have on the political fortunes and the target of these protests the Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu. The coronavirus pandemic deep into its 2nd wave has seen unemployment top 20 percent with more than half of israelis worried about paying bills public trust in the Prime Minister has nearly carved suggests one poll to 29 percent less than you know who is denied persistent reports that hes considering pulling the plug on his fractious coalition with former rival benny gantz and going to elections once more when you have seen this kind of discontent in the street and when you have people that are really really protesting and really really calling for the end to his tenure its not the time to go to elections he realizes this is going to be the greatest Political Risk that hes ever taken Benjamin Netanyahu is certainly no political newbie few a better versed in the tactics of holding on to power but the public pressure isnt. And this battle is far from over. Now the number of corona virus infections across south africa has surpassed half a 1000000 but experts warn the outbreak has not even yet reached its peak more than 10000 new cases and 148 deaths were confirmed on saturday officials warn the situation will get worse as theyre expecting the peak only in late august or Early September south africa accounts for more than half reported cases on the continent but our correspondent for me to miller is in johannesburg she says many hospitals are struggling to cope with the influx of coronavirus patients for many in south africa it is quite frightening given that the country has been under some level of lockdown for more than 4 months now while some of the restrictions have eased. Things really arent. Return to normal at all and its quite concerning to see that number rise now the government also released a statement the president says specifically not long after the announcement of half a 1000000 cases saying that things are bad but not that bad it says that the lockdown has helped to delay the increasing cases of the last few months giving the government time to prepare Public Health facilities and its relied on these Public Health facilities to help people in this country who have been infected by the virus but theres also been concern that in provinces like the eastern cape specifically the presidency has also acknowledged that that province its Health FacilitiesPublic Hospitals have been overwhelmed. Now congressional leaders in the United States say theyre making progress on a new Coronavirus Relief bill but when theyre not yet close to an agreement the primary focus is the 600. 00 a week unemployment benefit payments that scheme ended on friday the money is seen as a vital safety net protecting people from hunger and of fictions the white house offered to continue making the payments for the week but House Speaker nancy pelosi says a short Term Extension only made sense if a deal with close the democrats want a longer term commitment there are now about 38000000 people unemployed and the u. S. Thats about 20 percent of the working population on thursday more than 1400000 new people registered for Unemployment Benefits the 19th consecutive week that that number topped 1000000 jordan has more from Northern Virginia the paychecks coming from a state governments unemployment offices have been dispersed there wont be checks coming in the coming week or several weeks depending on how long it takes for Congressional Democrats and republicans to negotiate this deal this is of course a situation that has people very concerned this is the speaker of the house me its the policy who can be a saturday meeting in her offices on capitol hill were doing is not only trying to arrest the virus but to invest in the economy as really help americas working families so she day was productive in terms of moving us forward as the leader said we will be with you to theirs and ours to have some clarity in some of the issues and well meet again on monday well when youre talking about trying to enact a bill that would add about a trillion dollars which is what the republicans want to do versus passing a bill that would spend 3 trillion dollars which is what the democrats want to do here. Going to have a lot of disagreement there are also components in both bills that the other side does not like and those issues have to be negotiated certainly one thing that many Congressional Democrats and a few Congressional Republicans dont like is a proposal to basically give Companies Immunity from lawsuits by their employees if they get sick while theyre on the job could stand it public and leadership says this is absolutely crucial in order to try to get businesses back up and running but Congressional Democrats and a few republicans say a nonstarter that this should not be anywhere near a bill that its really supposed to make certain that people are being able to pay their rent or their mortgage being able to buy food being able to buy medicine and being able to pay their bills the residents of the bahamas have been advised to continue being cautious after hurricane e.
