Have to the forces say they were targeting equipment used to launch turkish drones that is trying their troops in the south and other areas of the contrie. In recent weeks the internationally recognized government has increased the amount of territory it controls and has lost a drain on the straight g. G. Clee important areas held by have to us forces attacks on civilian areas in tripoli are becoming more common theres no absolutely no way that a military takeover would have been possible without some civilian casualties the problem this the social and them as the or any perception of the legitimacy of the libyan our armed forces or of khalifa the potential military leader have completely dissipated from most of the residents in tripoli because they realize that if previously some of them believe that this is actually a cohesive disciplined army now a year on having seen the way this conflict in for and having witnessed. Both sides really behave particularly the libyan our armed forces they really equate them with them and with the militias that are in the capital people in the city have lived with shelling drone strikes and other area attacks from halftimes forces while the ground war comes the closer to their homes. So really International Institutions along with the or native nations have been calling on half those forces to refrain from attacking civilian facilities and residential areas such calls have largely been ignored as this scale over tax rises by the day many civilians here are blaming the International Community for not doing enough to protect them. Tripoli well the un mission in libya has called for those who have broken International Laws to be brought to justice tweeted mentioning the damage to passenger aircraft and fuel Storage Facilities firefighting trucks the passenger lounge as well as the civilian casualties these horrifying attacks it added occur on a regular basis close to civilian neighborhoods also the heavy shelling is one of a series of indiscriminate attacks most of which are attributable to program after forces killing more than 15 civilians since the start of this month. Lets move on to corona virus news and the brazilian president has been described as the biggest threat to his own countrys ability to respond to the virus has been facing sharp criticism for continuing to downplay the severity of the pandemic but still he. Has brazil recorded more than 10000. Day supporters of president. On the capital brasilia to defend their battered leader and amend their names down measures they rallied in front of the countrys Supreme Court angry after it allowed an inquiry into the president for allegedly interfering in a Police Corruption case against. All this happening while a study by top brazilian universities says the country is still weeks away from reaching the peak of infections and predicting more than 60000. 00 deaths by next month the highest death toll anywhere besides the United States in escaping at the tauriel the british medical journal the lancet. Who continues to dismiss the effects of the outbreak is the biggest threat to easing the crisis the governor of brazils most populous states extended a lockdown in this region until the end of the month backpedaling on an earlier promise to start reopening the state on monday and implicitly attacking will so now. Were going through the worst moments of this pain dimmick but its not recognized not not understood by those who are blinded by hate or by personal ambition. In a lease for their major cities have worn their Hospital Systems are on the verge of collapse among them in the heart of the Amazon Region where 500 more coffins arrived by boat to deal with the surgeon. Deaths nobody knows exactly how many died to cope with 19 because of insufficient the late testing for instance the state of. The 2nd most populated state in brazil we have only 3000 cases but then we have almost 100000 suspected cases that have been so far so the numbers are clearly much worse than we know the government has absolutely no idea of the true extent of the problem and its not the Health Minister himself has admitted the resume is flowing through this and already bleak situation promises to become even harsher as the weeks go by at least in the room. The former u. S. President barack obama has described his success as handling of the coronavirus pandemic as an absolute chaos take disaster obama made those remarks during a Conference Call with some of his ex staffers worked under his Administration Details and the audience recordings in fact late out he added there is a trend towards being selfish and divided and that its being operationalized in Donald TrumpsAdministration Obama also spoke about the justice departments decision to drop its criminal case against former trump advisor Michael Flynn he was warning is Michael Flynn he was warning it puts the rule of law at risk flynn was trumps 1st National Security adviser who pleaded guilty in 2017 to lying to the f. B. I. In the russia election meddling investigation trump and his allies of long criticized the case against him when we got eric ham with us now us political analyst and author of the g. O. P. Civil war to talk about this joining us from washington nice to see you again eric 1st of all the fact that we know about this were saying its a leak the recording has been leaked i wonder if thats a bit of a loose term actually if this is the kind of thing which perhaps the president and his former advisers wanted out. Thats a really a stupid way in fact were talking about a former president speaking to about 3000 of his former employees people who worked for him in the white house people who understand acutely how important it is to keep things in word and the fact that the president makes such. Biting comment about the current occupant of the white house one has to expect that the president actually wanted these comments to get out the question is why would he want them out and why would he want them out now given that the United States is confronting this virus this pandemic knowing that the president certainly will attack and again you americans are still left really trying to basically fend for themselves as that but that pandemic is reaching now 80000 people and the number of deaths that have been caused by this virus maybe hes putting it out there now where to give the Democratic Party and the democratic tickets leading up to november give it a bit of a kick along now make sure that democratic supporters and republican supporters who might be wavering can see there is a voice coming from the policy. Thats one point and i agree with ed but i also think there is Something Else i think what the president president barack obama is attempting to do at this moment in time right now is to unify the Democratic Party and to also signal not only to those who work any administration but off so to those as you mentioned who may be who may be on the fence right now who may be not ready to actually get behind joe bidens candidacy i think what the former president is doing is signaling that he is working for the democratic nominee and that he needs everyone on board and hes making it clear that he too will be working as he said and as it was leaked he will be working as hard as he can to elect joe biden in the fall im surprised trump hasnt. Responded yes it seems that type of thing which and again im sure if this was carefully leaked out there im sure barack obama and his team will have known about the potential backlash from here and how it could actually get really ugly and really distracting. Thats right but one thing about President Trump that we know President Trump has made it a mission of is to make to win every new cycle and the fact that this information came out from president obama today this is not message the weekend is not a new cycle that the president is attempting to focus on so i think we can expect to hear something from President Trump late and to sunday evening beginning early monday morning when many of the morning news shows will be gary and so the president will probably spend much of sunday night tweeting and attacking the former president on this issue its also very interesting because you typically do not have former president s actually going on the record like this and such a stark way and i think what were seeing here is not only a an official beginning of the election cycle but also a president who is now breaking the norms in terms of how former president s actually operate and that they dont criticize their current president their current occupant in a way that weve seen from president obama and frankly what are the norms anymore. Or is a pleasure to talk to you thank you you bet thank you. In the news ahead dream home or only a dream why home owning a house is elusive for most nigerians. And the world loses one of rock n rolls Founding FathersLittle Richard has died at the age of 87. 00. Weve had some very hot weather into the south of china recently that will change as we go on through the next couple of days because rains pushing for you can see a line of storms just around central and southern parts of china thats going to sink further south was followed this cloud up towards japan big downpours coming through here and it will turn increasingly wet as we go through sunday going on into monday process guys come back in behind across the Korean Peninsula temperatures at around 22 celsius for seoul touch warmer in beijing and warmer still as we go on into monday by monday japan should be largely fine and dry 26 celsius there in tokyo doing quite nicely but the wet weather all that still links back across taiwan into the southeast of china and we are going to see some rather heavy rain there even into hong kong 30 celsius top temperature on monday and that wet weather stretches across the gulf of tonkin hi nancy some sharp showers along with northern parts of vietnam some sharp showers longer spells of rain also pushing towards the philippines now you can see still clutches storms out into the open waters i was going to drift a little further west which is we go through sunday and on in sioux monday that will make its way up towards central and southern parts of the philippines with some heavy downpours elsewhere across Southeast Asia so usual seasonal showers. But. As a celebration of tradition life. And love. Aljazeera was canes way insights into the diverse culture of some money to the fullest to different couples. Embodying on land life together to weddings some money style on out to 0. 00 s. The top stories this hour on aljazeera forces loyal to the libyan war. Fired at least 80 rockets into tripolis only functioning airport 3 civilians died from shelling near the course brazilian president has been described as the biggest threat to his own countrys ability to respond to the coronavirus damning assessment came from british publication the Lancet Medical Journal brazil is latin americas worst affected country and former u. S. President Barack Obamas described handling of the pandemic as an absolute chaotic disaster obama made the critique during a Conference Call which leads to Media Outlets. South korean president in his addressing the nation right now a speech that will be dominated by his plans to steer south korea towards recovery looking to a post 911. 00 pandemic calls not over yet though more than 2000 bars and other night spots have been closed in seoul because of a burst of new infections the government eased restrictions after cases dwindled in april more without mcbride in seoul now rob solars kyle south korea is kind of been held up as a good example of how to manage things how to bring infection rates down what is the president planning now absolutely. Thats right i mean moon j. N. And his performances been largely applauded by the International Community held up as a model on how a country should handle the outbreak of the coronavirus it is worth bearing in mind that at one point south korea was actually the 2nd worst affected country in the world right after china and it held up that spot for a while right now it is actually ranked at 38. 00 than the world in terms of the number of infections and the way it is brought under control i think it has been attributed to the governments of men j. And their performance the way that they handled it and that you can see in the opinion polls normally at this term in a president s term in office say you you would suffer the usual midterm lulls and at the beginning of this year moons popularity was down 41 percent Approval Rating then along came the coronavirus now his Approval Rating stands at 71 percent which is fairly unprecedented here in south korea his speech is largely going to be talking about how his country has dealt with this has come through it but also looking ahead on how to restore the economy and how to open up and the economy has taken a battering here has to be pointed out also one of the lessons that south korea has given the world is that it never actually completely locked down and closed down the economy it was really for public cooperation social distancing to be put in place for and voluntarily for companies to work from home if possible which they largely did and we can see the results of that but nonetheless the economy has taken a battering and is going to take now a further battering because of course this is an export driven economy and as the world now goes into a global recession people wont be upgrading their Samsung Smartphone just this year or buying a new car and all that is expected to hurt the economy here rob there is a new or has been a new cluster of infections the cluster of the phrase they use can you explain it to us and how serious it is. It is concerning its quite troubling you know weve talked about south korea for the past few weeks seeing a very small number of cases per day of new infections or something to many days having 0 local cases of transmission and then suddenly we have a cluster this all stems back to a slight easing of precautions of restrictions here we had a Public Holiday or series of Public Holidays which allowed people to travel just over a week ago now and it does appear as though a cluster of infections centering on some nightclubs that just reopened in the etail one is the Entertainment District of seoul saw a sudden spike a sudden cluster of infections all traced back to one or more individuals who were going around nightclubs it seems that people who traveled in from out of town to go to the same nightclubs and so weve now got more than 50 cases attributed to this one cluster with potentially 7000. 00 people now being traced buys a south koreas sophisticated tracing system to get them tested but it just shows if south korea is showing lessons of the world it shows the difficulty of opening up an economy and this is a country that seems to have a pretty good tracing and checks in place that with the kind of checks and tracing and Health Systems that other countries that are opening up simply lack. Thank you for all those updates thats what mcbride insall a huge fireworks display is lit up the skies over the russian capital as part of celebrations to mark 75 years since the end of world war 2 in europe traditional commemorations dont cling a military parade were put off because of the pandemic also dont forget infections in russia are rising dramatically more than 10000 cases of reported for every day for the past 7 that it was are they on has more. Instead of a military parade on moscows red square russians marked 53 day in solitude covered 19 has changed everything the streets routinely used to display russias military power are empty no tanks no music no marches. President Vladimir Putin place flowers at the a trial flame near the kremlin walls and for the 1st time in recent hears western delegates who were due to attend the event canceled. Addressing the nation he called for unity. During the year we know and they firmly believe that we are going to believe understand together. A military air show replace the ground parade with jets flying over 47 cities across russia. During the 2nd world war the then soviet union lost about 25000000 people more than any other country. Yet almost we probably dont deserve a parade on the the circumstances everyone is out in scared of the virus whereas the veterans were going under bullets and minds. With social distancing traditions have turned to technology instead of families carrying a photograph of a relative lost in the war like previous years portraits were uploaded online for a digital commemoration to start the new price new i dont mind the celebrations but cancelled people will celebrate at home and can watch the parade from previous years. But the president was counting on the parade to mark the 75th anniversary with his Approval Ratings hitting a record low there is frustration over the handling of the pandemic as russia becomes a new hotspot for the virus at home a weak economy and a slump in oil prices are making things worse. The economy is not doing well i know a number of anti crisis measures have been taken and i hope it will help us to survive the situation. Abroad its involvement in the war in syria and libya has fueled tensions with adversaries the president was hoping the parade would help his political standing and the countrys might now. But as it marks the end of the 2nd world war russia now faces a new invisible enemy. Al jazeera.
