But the same time they see that he is getting we care every day and they might not rely on them all on him as much as they used to be so well they can concede in other candidates for full question because position there was a similar process similar but there was a process in their meaning which is also another part of kind of part of russian influence and in case of armenia russia really didnt interfere so it might be also the case was betters. The u. S. House of representatives is set to vote on legislation to protect the Postal Service with claims President Trump is using it to suppress mail in voting u. S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has confirmed she will recall the chamber later this week the postmaster general the trump ally has also been summoned to testify before a Congressional Committee demonstrators gathered outside louis de joys home for a 2nd day in him of trying to sabotage the mail network the Postal Service has warned that millions of mail in vote may not have arrived in time to be counted lets cross now to mike hanna whos in washington d. C. Mike so those are saying the house will reconvene to vote on the Postal Service legislation what is that legislation about and what does it mean. For the legislation has been drawn up by the chairperson of the House Oversight committee Carolyn Maloney who will be overseeing the hearing involving the postmaster general on monday next week but the bill assistance which states that the changes made by the postmaster general since he took over in may would be reversed effectively it says that the post office must go back to operating exactly as it did on the 1st of january 2020 can be no changes until january the 1st of next year this would effectively reverse all the changes that have been made by louis to joy in the months since he has been head of the Postal Service changes which many are arguing particularly democrats in congress could impact really heavily on the election later this year in particular on the mail in vote in which many people are going to turn in turn to because of the ongoing pandemic. Might just remind us of the accusations being leveled at lewis to joy and why that all matters. Well he has come in and said that he needs to create crosscutting within the Postal Service what this entails well in the last few months you severed overtime for all employees hes fired all reshuffled senior managers within the Postal Service hes decommissioned some 10 percent of the postal sorting machines the automatic machines and above all hes physically removed mail boxes from particular locations and put them into mothballs this has been an immense disruption to the Postal Service in some areas Postal Services operating as much as a week late theres been complaints from pensioners not receiving their pensions from veterans not receiving their meds on time so certainly this has been immensely disruptive and its for this reason that the postmaster general has been summoned to congress on monday next week to answer to these accusations im us also point out that the Inspector General of the Postal Service has confirmed that an investigation is underway into all these sweeping changes that have been made and must mention too that the president only saturday expressed his unbounded support and confidence for a man who is both a major donor to the Tram Campaign and a close friend to the president.

Thousands of people have joined a skewed led rallies in thailands capital calling for political reform and the biggest added government protest in the years a demanding a new election and an amended constitution this way hey reports from bangkok some thais are touching a sensitive subject with calls for reform of the monarchy. In big numbers they came to the center of bangkok to escalate their call for change protesters gathered around democracy monument a symbol of what they say thailand doesnt have. I can pick the fact that the government is so corrupt its been in power for far too long and things arent getting any better. After weeks of peaceful protests led mainly by students this was by far the largest and most diverse attracting thais from different sectors of society including other groups who staged mass rallies in the past. Im glad more people have come out today the pair of young people and students alone cant force change we need everyone to work together. The protesters say thailand entire political system needs to change including the monarchy its a dangerous and sensitive issue to take on because the royal family is protected by strict laws designed to prevent criticism.

In recent weeks the government has warned the protesters to be careful what they say and arrested 3 protest leaders but if that was a tactic to try to scare them and bring an end to the movement it hasnt worked and judging by the size of this crowd it may be having the opposite effect when hey al jazeera bangkok was. Clever and has reported a record daily number of new crowd of ours and sections all still struggling with the aftermath of a massive explosion in beirut at least 439 new cases and 6 deaths were confirmed of the past 24 hours daily cases had already been on the rise in the blast made social distancing more difficult for many.

Environmentalists a warning that clear skies and Clean Waterways during the pandemic arent reasons for celebration a study in italy says despite 10 percent less rubbish being produced since the lock down the increased use of disposable covert 19 protective gear is adding to the mountain of waste sahar it explains. Its a scene weve all become familiar with no matter where we are in the world wearing a mask is our new normal. But while single use protective gear might be saving lives its also polluting our environment. Running up on them yet them obviously during the pandering racin an increase in the usage of individual protective gear such as face mask and gloves very often made out of plastic. The tiny an institute for Environmental Research found that in just 2 months of lockdown during march and april the amount of general waste fell by 10 percent to 500000. 00 tons thats the good news researches say there is bad news in what is now being thrown away so. We were there we started 6. 00 to 9. 00 glove models and more than 30 facemask models all very different from each other they have different structures some have false some have filters and therefore different weights we made an assumption on the average wage and they found out that at the end of 2020 this production will create 300000 tons of additional waste and thats just masks and gloves alone. By the end of the year the total amount of waste produce is likely to be similar to before the pandemic. Environmentalist are also concerned that the pandemic has rolled back global efforts to cope single use plastic. We have also seen an increase in consumption of packaged foods and ecommerce that uses a lot of single use Plastic Packaging we dont have an estimate yet of how much of those objects were dumped into the environment but what is sure is that all of those that have been abandoned sooner or later will reach the sea. Here in trade body u. N. C. T. A. D. S. To mates global marcels have doubled since last year. Plastic pollution was already one of the greatest threats to our planets before the outbreak now around 75 percent of use masks as well as other pandemic related waste will end up in landfills or floating in the seas.
