Word and the fact that the president makes such. Biting comments about the current occupant of the white house you 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 it but the pandemic is reaching now upwards of 80000 people and the number of deaths that have been caused by this virus 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 in the 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 canada c i think with 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 but also in the us a new york state is the epicenter of the countrys a break and its governor says theyre investigating more than 70 cases of a possible coronavirus related syndrome affecting children symptoms include swollen blood vessels and heart problems 3 children have died from the condition.

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 a scathing editorial the british medical journal the lancet says balsa narrow 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 a monday and implicitly attacking will so narrow.

Since the 2nd most populated state in brazil we have only 3000 cases but then we have almost 100000 suspected cases that have been tested 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 meet our Health Minister himself has admitted that. Through this. An already bleak situation the promises to become even harsher as the weeks go by alison that. South korean president says hell turn the country into a pink setting economy in the post covert 19 era when address the nation on his governments plans restrictions eased after cases dwindled in april but now more than 2000 bars and other night spots have been closed in seoul because of a new wave of infections lets get the very latest now from our correspondent rob bright whos live for us in seoul rob what else did the president have to say obviously the public very keen to hear what his next move will be. Absolutely think he has been regarded as setting something of an example for the rest of the world the response by south korea or moon janes government has been widely applauded by the International Community so he did at the beginning of this speech is quite unusual for him to make a speech like this it marks a 3rd anniversary of him taking office here in south korea he did take time out for a bit of a victory lap a deserved one it could be said and saying that south korea with the kind of testing that it puts in place and tracing of cases had certainly set a world standard that other countries are trying to now emulate it went to you as you recall from being the 2nd worst affected country in the world after china with the coronavirus now ranking 38th in terms of the number of cases so something of an achievement but what lies ahead is quite grim. And talked about how to recover the economy as we stand on the verge of a global recession south korea is of course export driven and it is a fact that this year people wont be upgrading their latest Samsung Smartphone or theyll be putting off buying that motor car until next year all the kind of things that are going to hurt south korea so very much focusing on the use of High Technology of the 5 g. Networks that we have here in south korea really to try to recover the economy through socalled norm face to face industries more tele working and so on so basically charting this High Technology new deal as he called it way forward for south korea of course is a huge investigation ongoing as well about the recurrence of covert 19 based around one individual who may have visited several like labs whats the latest on the. Its very worrying that of south korea set an example for the rest of the world this is a very grim example of just how difficult it is to lift restrictions and do it safely without getting up any of these surges and spikes you know south korea for weeks now has pretty much had it under control that weve had very few cases of local transmission in many cases or many days 0 cases and then just over a week ago there was a holiday period the government lifted some precautions restrictions are nightclubs which opened and suddenly we have a cluster of cases but more than 40 cases so far with potentially up to 7000 people now being traced to visited these nightclubs in this part of seoul over this period in question so it is quite troubling for a country that has all of these checks and balances in place from one point of view it is good news all those tests are working but it just shows the how difficult it is to lift restrictions and of course many countries not having the kind of systems in place to deal with these outbreaks now going ahead with opening up and lifting these lockdowns good to get the update robert brought our correspondent there in Seoul South Korea thanks rob.
