In the 2nd of 2 films on these contrasting experiences people in power meets the returning migrants now determined to discourage others from following the same. Gambia back home from aljazeera. But again. A reminder of our top stories this hour a dozen crossings in israel have reopened following an agreement with the Palestinian Authority the move allows thousands of palestinian neighbors to return to work but there are fears of health risks because of the corona Virus Outbreak. More than 40 people have been killed in a prison riot in venezuela the protests started over a demand for relatives to be allowed to deliver food riots in latin americas overcrowded prisons have been increasing as coronavirus restrictions are put in place. And the number of deaths from the coronavirus in the u. S. Has now risen to more than 66000 testing shows that more than 1100000 people are infected but around half of states have begun to partially lift social distancing measures. Well lets take you to some other news now iraqs army says 3 policemen have been killed 2 others injured after eisel fight has attacked a Police Station. In the city of the cuba its the latest in a round of violence on this weekend the vehicle of a Top Commander was also targeted in a separate 51 soldier died and earlier at least 10 members of an Iraqi Paramilitary group for count and separate attacks well hows your captions i as the senior director of the counter extremism project and he says these latest attacks show the fight against i feel as far from. This is the latest episode of this little resurgence of eisel in iraq which started fairly soon after the final defeat on the territorial control of eisel in 2019 its clear that i still had long prepared for the period after its military defeat with organizing i mean it. Organizing cells that act independently now what weve seen in this attack is a very classic eisel tactic that they used before they gained territory in 2014 to weaken the Security Forces and cow tribes within the sunni area into following them and we are pretty much again at a situation that we were once before in 2011 where International Forces also due to the current coronas situation slow to withdrawing from the country the international i think coalition numerous nations have already withdrawn their troops because of these 19 more will follow. The same situation that the Central Government in iraq from its the sunni part of the country a certain amount of autonomy including their own Security Forces from this is that again it has not been fulfilled and all of this vacuum is overlaid by it rivalry between the United States and iran on iraqi territory so that the country faces multiple internal challenges i still is simply taking advantage of this current very very difficult situation. Now the global foreign oil prices has left many governments reeling but irans president says its economy can type better than most thanks to being forced to diversify because of u. S. Sanctions then his rival reports from tehran. On the day u. S. Oil prices fell farther than ever before iranian media seemed to relish the news many say the United States has used oil like a weapon against iran for years and its effectiveness was ending irans president said u. S. Sanctions had helped his country become less susceptible to the tumbling market iran he said is now less reliant on oil how many. More how many only rich countries including us was hit by the situation some more some less so we will be here to list in other countries iran has spent years trying to move away from an Oil Based Economy but still sells oil through back channels i guess. If we want to say that irans economy was not affected by the Oil Price Drop i think thats wrong it has definitely been impacted but if other countries fell from the 10th floor then iran fell from the 2nd floor because iran has already fallen in the past due to sanctions. Iran is trying to make up for lost oil revenue by manufacturing more goods it can sell abroad as well as building up other industries such as plastics mining and agriculture the government says non oil exports to china and neighboring countries have increased but oil and gas are still vital to its economy iran has expanded Refining Capacity in recent years and unveiled a new oil field in the southwest of the country. It also has a large domestic market because of u. S. Sanctions iran has been unable to freely so its oil the government has for years been trying to diversify the economy to get away from depending on oil as its main source of revenue but one of the things that leaders said they had to do was remove state subsidies on things like gas to ease the governments financial burden. In november last year the price of petrol at the pumps doubled in some cases tripled overnight it sparked the worst protests since the 1979 Islamic Revolution the death toll from the violence security crackdown that followed is still unclear when Global Oil Prices fell earlier this month some on social media began asking for the savings to be passed on to them now that the oil price is equal to the price of dirt shouldnt the price of gasoline and other crude products go down to said 1. 00 gasoline in the u. S. And europe is cheaper than iran joked another a common saying here is that prices go up never down and theres another financial pinch coming the latest government budget includes a plan to increase revenues by raising taxes zain. Edge of sin filmmaker shady had bash has died after being held in prison for 2 years without trial have bashed directed a music video mocking president. And when it took off on social media he was taken to the notorious tora prison its not clear what caused his death he was 24 years old how more than 1800 families in kenya have fled their homes after a river best its banks during heavy rain the government says at least 116 people have died in flash floods and landslides. Its been flooding for 3 days now i think the government is not even aware but now were telling them we are asking if there are any plans to assist us only 2 boats are here for it back you waiting people. Are things have been spoiled in here for example the fridge deep freezer and the cookers cooking pots have been swept away by the water returning to the corona virus pandemic now and a 3rd province in yemen has recorded its 1st case of covert 19 taking the nationwide number to 10 the governor of thais province says hes closing the borders for 2 weeks with the exception of food and other essential goods hes also ordered mosques and markets to close and banned large gatherings germany italy and spain have joined other e. U. Countries in supporting the suspension of required air travel refunds juror in this pandemic theyve called for airlines to temporarily off of that which is instead of refunds when trips are cancelled Airlines Across europe including lift tons and france kaleb have sought state bailouts as lock downs have forced them to ground their fleets earlier i spoke to Geoffrey Thomas hes the editor in chief of Airline Ratings dot com he says much more needs to be done to help the airlines recover. I think across the globe weve all got to make concessions this is all costing us money but at the same time you know whether we whether were supporting our local leyline or a fiver daylon or a local restaurant with tyco ice. Everybody needs help and the airlines are no different because the airlines are losing half of their revenue for 2020 and some of the by a lot sort of being required across the globe are absolutely massively in the United States its about 50000000000. 00 for the usa alliance and they say that sort of number is replicated in certain jurisdictions and others it is not so theres a lot of given type t. At and certainly we want to preserve as many of these airlines as we possibly can for that very highly competitive market we want post covered 19 in certain jurisdictions it has been enough for instance in the middle east some of the countries they have stepped up significantly like qatar in other jurisdictions they have and in a strategy of for instance the the federal government there really has not stepped up to support its 2. And so coming out of postcode point saying youre going to get some airlines that are very well look job other ones that are not so be it will be a very unbalanced playing field. But 19 a lot more needs to be done because i view is the is the fabric of the economy of the world and we need a robust aligned system to help with this recovery.
