Welcome to the Program India is launching one of the Worlds Largest International Repatriation missions flights to 13 countries will start on thursday while warships have already been deployed to bring back hundreds of thousands of workers stranded overseas due to Coronavirus Travel restrictions all flights into india were suspended in late march arriving passengers will be screened segregated and then quarantined india has recorded its largest daily jumping coronavirus cases and deaths as the evacuations get underway some are raising concerns over the last. Of testing for people being brought back lets listen to the chief minister of carola the state with the largest number of indian migrants in the gulf the end of a government according to the information from the Central Government people be put on a plane without testing 1st with or they have coronavirus this is dangerous a plane has more than 200. 00 people if one or 2 have the virus all the passengers will be in trouble the subjects the whole country and raises the possibility of the disease spreading further career. Lawyer practising at the Indian Supreme Court and hes representing an indian expatriate whos filed a case for a speedy evacuation he says the government has a duty to make sure people return home safely. You will not have to ensure that the muscles of people are being brought into a plane the 1st social checking happens at the airport so you have to ensure that checking there happens which means theres a lot of involvement of the gulf and never the host country once that is done ones are transported back the cigar is a whole process of quarantining thousands of people to ensure that food is given to their do internet isnt significant and should be in what at 18 in conditions lest you have a big on his master waiting to happen what you are trying to find are was actually the lack of a proper framework and we believe that a proper protocol a proper legal court or a procedure established by law will enable the returning people to be not discriminated if went on though that opportunities are not transparency in the process as lawyers we found are as you looked at the plan found that that state that be should be human and human science to come back and not really based on that being the best the government could look at subsidising are heavily discounted tickets specially for people who can be identified to be people who do not have the economic ability of buying that use of ticket home i think theyre the government probably are rather if it means that a strong opening at that that woman is duty bought to ensure that its people are going back whore but are you not screening process and that ticket should be something with the government is that it should be looking at people who cannot afford it. Venezuelas president Nicolas Maduro says 13 people are being captured following what he says was a coup attendant madeira says the group including 2 americans arrived in speedboats on sunday intending to kill him and he says the plot was led by that u. S. Colombia an Opposition Leader one quiet oh who denies the allegations. In full should not be with tony windsor a u. S. Official and a consultant in the war in iraq and afghanistan last night reported and showed the contracts signed by the venezuelan opposition if you meant to privatized and preparing extradition of mercenaries and terrorists trained in colombia to storm venezuela and try to kill him. Lets cross over to a White House Correspondent kimberly how can the u. S. And venezuelas relationship has been a fractious one for a number of yes what happened over the weekend doesnt help but what all are officials saying about it in washington d. C. Well the u. S. President is the latest to add his denial on top of the u. S. State department saying that no u. S. Agency was involved in this military incursion but certainly the video is dramatic you see there not only the capture of these 2 americans that are being paraded but also the venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro reading their passports their names and their birth date on National Television now he alleges for his part that these 2 mercenaries were conducting a raid to oust him but this is something the u. S. President donald trump has flatly denied. Nothing to do with our government but i just got information on that so wolf well well find out we just heard about it 1 but whatever it is well let you know but it has nothing to do with our government. Now the 2 countries broke diplomatic ties that the United States and by this way last year the United States for its part has also accused that as well of rigging its elections in 2018 and more recently has charged Nicolas Maduro as a drug trafficker and offering a 15000000. 00 reward for his arrest or capture but i think its important to point out that in the midst of all of this the United States has been waging a sort of a tough sanctions campaign against betis will it for some time not just to oust the leader but also to squarely put u. S. Support behind Opposition Leader one who i dont know for that update can be held at our White House Correspondent thank you. Russia has reported more than 10000 new cases for the 3rd consecutive day now that raises the total number of confirmed infections to around 155000 infections have been registered in all 85 regions of russia with moscow being the epi center while concerns are being raised in russia after 3 Health Workers fighting the pandemic have been killed or injured in suspicious falls within a few days of each other in late april 2 doctors died after falling out of hospital windows one of the women reportedly criticized a shortage of supplies for her staff the other was accused of spreading the virus to colleagues a 3rd medic is in serious condition after a similar fall on saturday he complained the week before about a lack of protective equipment and being forced to work despite being tested positive for covert 19 now the falls are being viewed suspiciously by many in russia several government critics of fall into their deaths in recent years Rachel Dunbar works for the Human Rights Watch in new york she says theres no question russia is struggling. There is still a shortage of hospital beds there have been many reports of ambulance ambulances lined up outside of hospitals because they cant find a bed for for the people theyre bringing and balances taking them home or and taking taking them back to another hospital and find that that hospital also doesnt have a bed so its struggling we also have reports of ambulances of shortages of personal protective equipment there was a report of ambulance workers who talked about having to actually go out to the home of trucks and store to buy construction suits that they would then use for their personal protective equipment i think there are serious crowns for alarm at how medical workers are being treated if states try to speak out about about their conditions of work there is a law in russia bandings that dance state news and in the context of covert 19 its this extensive criminal sanctions right up to 5 years in prison and fines that range you know up to you know tens of thousands of dollars if you spread whats called fake news and some of the some of the cases that have been which there have been warnings about criminal cases or even opening up of a criminal destination have included medical workers who were complaining about raising the alarm about a lot of protecting the lack of the protective equipment the u. K. Government has defended the countrys rising death toll britain has overtaken italy with the highest number of corn virus dead in europe foreign minister dominic rob says comparisons cant be made until the crisis is over more than 32000 people in the u. K. Have 1. 19. I dont think well get a real verdict on how well countries have done until the pandemic is over and particularly until weve got comprehensive International Data on all cause mortality but i think theres 2 points id make about the way the u. K. Has approached things there are different ways of counting deaths as we know weve had that debate in this country we now published data that include all deaths in all settings and not all countries do that so im not sure that the International Comparison works on this you can youre reliably know that all countries are measuring in the same way and it also depends on how good frankly countries are in gathering their statistics south korea is further easing not down restrictions with sports leagues getting underway again now the baseball season is up and running after being persones in march but in rob a bride reports and it will be some time before its business as usual the final warm up for the long awaited start of the delayed baseball season local incheon favorites s.

We welcome the increased attention on korean baseball its great to promote it and its all thanks to our citizens for getting us to this stage south koreas success so far in defeating the coronavirus is also allowing the football k. League to start its season later this week but again without fans in another sport for which large cheering crowds seem indispensable so crowds are important because there they are part of what we expect when we go to see a game or when we watch a game the noise the tension the drama the anxiety the happiness the abortion this is this is not driven by empty stadiums this is driven by full stadiums south koreas baseball teams hope to start adding the essential family ingredient soon even when the fans are finally allowed back in there will still be a long time before we see pax stands again their numbers will increase only gradually with empty seats between them and for now their silent stand ins will have to do and when they do return theyll find previously unheard of precautions for the players such as low hugging and no spitting the way baseball is played and the way its watched is turning into a very different game robert bride aljazeera incheon south korea.

Answers to these questions in the discovery. A vaccine in a place named after a pioneer in the field would be an Outstanding Achievement and the head of the institute made it clear that is the ambition. We are working on producing the Technical Knowledge for a vaccine and focusing on medicine and treatment to see which medicine could be a good candidate for curing the disease but on the day of our visit irans president was more guarded in an address to his cabinet house and rouhani was clear there have been no breakthroughs social distancing is the best policy and everyones in this for the long haul.

Asked qatars Public Health minister dr Hanan Mohammed about the criticism over lock downs in Migrant Worker areas. But you know because when you start of the law looking down that area particularly thats where International Rights organizations were pretty much concerned. Saying that basically the Migrant Workers are at particular risk of exposure to corona virus because of the lack of a dick with water sanitation and that those areas are notoriously overcrowded i think the point about dense population is true everywhere so in every city where there is dense population the risk of the corona virus spreading is higher so you saw that in the capitals where there is very high death population even new york its a very densely populated area so when you have dense populations then you have a higher risk and you need to take very strong Public Health measures and thats what we did what kind of indicators would be enough we used to say were starting to flatten the curve the fact that we are not picking as aggressively as we could have is because we have that in the curve so very early on we put in place social distancing measures including closing down some of the businesses that we know are very close contact between individuals 20 percent of our workforce are working from their offices and 80 percent are working online so by putting in place all these social distancing measures we have actually flattened the curve well in pakistan hundreds of both been plying their trade in lakeside Tourist Spots are struggling to make ends meet while the government is considering partially lifting virus restrictions in some areas parks and recreational areas or part of the plan while hydro reports.
