A powerful cycling has started dumping rain on bangladesh in indias eastern coast hundreds of thousands of people are being moved to shelters before the storm hits land later on bidens day in indias west bengal region preparing for the cycle has been complicated given the rapid spread of coronavirus people have been asked to maintain social distancing while staying in the morning and going to get more on this from jackie cut down on the situation in eastern india in a moment 1st lets speak to tons your child very hes live for us in the bangladeshi capital dhaka town via the scale of the numbers involved in trying to move people in these evacuations is enormous whats the situation like there. Yes absolutely i mean as if now the government figures say its nearly 2200000 people have been put into shelter that made accommodation for at least 5000000 people now bangladesh is used to cycle and its something that frequency almost every year but the cycle in our super cycle and thats much more to read the last one we had was in 2007. So the government is very very much taking this as a challenge considering it has to deal with kobe had 19 you know pandemic in the country now we know a lot of people have already been evacuated since yesterday evening the danger is a lot of people also stay in scattered island what is known here as silt outside an island out by the coast many of these people dont have shelter and also the fisherman deep sea fisherman at least we know that about 600 fishing boats are still not coming back nearly 40000 people in this silt at island dont have shelter those people need to be evacuated before the storm hits which is expected to be sometime late evening today now as much as they can do bangladesh has been very experienced in dealing with this there as Volunteers Health care navy and Army Personnel all ready to deal with the situation but despite all those even less so the cycle only this weekend pretty fatal starman title wave those usually damage the croplands and fisheries in the coastal battle and that takes years to recover from for the farmers and poor people in the coastal area. Today also out since last night theres been rain and gusty winds and thunderstorms that is so it caused a lot of problem People Living in the rural lately have particularly in the coastal belt of bangladesh rob charger bring us up to date from doc i want to bring in his article and hes joining us live on skype from beaumont to swat on indias eastern or dishes states. This is happening at a time also of course when millions of people Migrant Workers are trying desperately to get back to their own home states and the whole situation with coke over 19 and moving those migrants is just complicating the situation isnt. Exactly because all the settlement was in the midst of bringing all those Migrant Workers who are working in outside the state and they were being brought by trains and the Train Services have been stopped these Migrant Workers were being put in this school and then centers and most of these what and then centers the high ground shelters itself remember already so has been a role model in building the cycle cycling has almost become a and will be the last thing this state of india already saw exactly that at this time of the year last year cycle only hurricane and it has done last carol damage this time and i would cycle on but this time i dont. Think im making more complicated because theyre in the midst of dealing with the current writers and when these Migrant Workers were been left in this war and then centers where the 2nd charges had been used now they have to evacuate lakhs of people in other places there are mentoring the social. Guidelines of the coroner why it is that this man turning socialist and so that that what has are meant has meant that they have identified more than 7000 structures where more than one lakh people have already been evacuated and that space is enough to accommodate i dont select people but that wont be necessary because what the government does actually think is that who disputes the balance so and. Remember these are the 2 this church in the red zone on the corner wider and these are the protesters which is the most by evening so in these 2 districts the people who are worried that in the convent centers they have been safely going to other places and other animals have been made so theres a wonderful people are getting the cyclon changed so they are safe then the.

The un humanitarian chief is calling on the Security Council to ensure aid continues to reach millions of people in northwest syria resolution allowing for deliveries across syrias border with turkey is set to expire in july mark lowcock says aid has been scaled up in recent months because of the staggering levels of need and the coronavirus pandemic. Across the border of operation for northwest area all right i did it in town so you know like minds of millions of civilians in the United Nations cannot reach by other means it cannot be substituted its all right they must be when you.

A delay will increase offering and will cost the lives palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas says palestine will not be bound by agreements with israel and the us because of israels planning sation of 30 percent of the occupied west Bank Addressing an emergency meeting of his cabinet august described the u. S. As israels part in crime and he called for countries that have rejected president Donald Trumps middle east peace plan to recognize the state of palestine and impose sanctions on israel under trying still israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu could begin an exciting Palestinian Land as soon as july eliminate limited to have it in front of the Palestine Liberation Organization and the state of palestine and not bounty as of today would be agreement an understanding with the american and israeli governments and even the obligations based on these understandings and agreements including disappearance he ones and it over him has the latest from ramallah. While he said the p. L. O. Is no longer bound by agreements signed with israel he said that he did not say that hes dissolving the Palestinian Authority and the Palestinian Authority itself is the through it of the agreements that has been signed between israel and the Palestinian Authority in 1990 c so we need a couple of days or maybe weeks to understand what really is going to be taken on the ground in the on the ground in terms of measures by the Palestinian Authority now to the issue of the Security Agreement between the 2 parties it has been suspended a couple of times before but in recent history were talking about the past 20 years this suspension was only limited to the high profile high level meetings between the palestinian is and Israeli Security officials but side channels have happened in the past between palestinians and israelis that kind of allowed the security coordination to continue of course its very important for the palestinians authorities viability in many officials here in the occupied west bank argue that the palestinian authorities this meant is an accomplishment and that they are not looking at. Just devolving the Palestinian Authority. Is the cofounder of an atomic intifada and the author of the battle for justice in palestine he says the announcement by abbas is meaningless. Well theres 2 important points here one is the creation of the Palestinian Authority was allowed by israel after 993 for one purpose and one purpose alone which was to create a native palestinian auxillary to. Basically implement the occupation on behalf of israel and that is and has being the role of the Palestinian Authority since its creation israel allows Palestinian Security forces to have guns but those guns are only to be used against palestinians and so the agreements are basically that the Palestinian Authority acts as a an exemplary a police force for Israeli Occupation forces now thats given the title security coordination thats the polite name for it thats given in the agreement. And ive asked the head of that has announced ike i cant remember how many times that his sister ending this agreement or that agreement and the fact is hes never done that hes never suspended an agreement and indeed this evening as were speaking Palestinian Authority sources told the israeli newspaper haaretz that in fact a security collaboration between the Israeli Occupation forces and the Palestinian Authority is continuing and will continue and the reality is that the Palestinian Authority move a salt shaker from one side of a table to another without the permission and help of the Israeli Occupation.

President ial. President trump launched his latinos for Trump Campaign last year targeting swing states like pennsylvania arizona and florida a big part of Trumps Campaign machine is labeling biden a socialist thats something many in the Latino Community fear but democratic strategists say joe biden has experienced the counts how many times has struggled to latin america once to argentina for you 20 how many times joe biden go to latin america its been 16 times so i think that accent speak louder than words but the fall of Vice President s task of reaching the Latin Community has been complicated by the coronavirus pandemic and his campaigns not as well funded as present.
