Well it seems to be very significant because remember that the measure that vance meant after his forces achieved over the past year is mainly attributed to that all of the russian mercenaries from the bagnall group that have been recruited by have to his forces and as you know that last month when the reports reveal that about 1200 the russian mercenaries from the group have been fighting along with his forces in southern tripoli so the mayor of benny will lead the city thats south of the city of daraa who stated that 3 flights took off from the airport of bernie will lead carrying get russian medicine to these who have been fighting along with that as force we do not know for certain why they are leaving the country at this crucial time because as you know couldnt lee have those forces out of news in the momentum on the ground came because they have been losing strategic locations including military camps in southern tripoli and also did. Need the near the tunisian border and the Government Forces have been advancing on have to force recently there was that all of the russian bursaries could have major consequences on half their forces on the ground well now does this put russia in a somewhat awkward position i mean we we did hear that u.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accused police and prosecutors of conspiring against him he made the defiant remarks before his corruption trial began in occupied East Jerusalem from there herefore said reports. This was always going to be an extraordinary moment in israeli politics Benjamin Netanyahu decided to make it more so a clearing his intention to fight not just within the courtroom but outside in public against the whole concept of this prosecution but citizens of israel whats on trial today is the wish to eliminate the will of the people the attempt to topple me and the right wing camp over a decade the lift didnt succeed in doing so in the polls so in recent years they came up with a new patent so says that the police in Attorneys Office joined together with the lift wing newspapers i call them the just not b. B. Bunch they tell of baseless cases and imagine a charges the objective is to depose a strong right wing Prime Minister and thats to remove the nationalist came from the leadership of the state for many years. In the courtroom itself what could become a defining image of israels longest serving Prime Minister in the dock facing criminal trial just a week after he was sworn in for a 5th term after the cameras were rejected his legal team asked for delays in calling witnesses well they argued about access to evidence the strategy to push the start of the main phase of the trial well into next year outside supporters sang and chanted and amplified the Prime Ministers message of persecution already in its 1st day of this trial is a window into just how polarized israeli politics is and Benjamin Netanyahu and his allies making no bones about appealing to supporters like these on the basis that the trial is not a criminal one rather a political coup designed to ousted from office but there are warnings that such a strategy risks further division this was the main anti netanyahu demonstration outside his residence. Netanyahu is accused of asking for and taking lavish gifts from wealthy friends of offering to him to one newspaper to get better coverage in another of exchanging hundreds of millions of dollars worth of regulator help to a telecoms chief again the better coverage on these new sites. Before court a glimpse of the power low was to come for a Prime Minister on trial theres no leaving his 1st Cabinet Meeting of the new coalition talking about iran the economy and governing for all his form a fierce opponent and now alternate Prime Minister in a rotating Coalition Deal spend against released a statement saying that the oath was innocent until Proven Guilty calling for reconciliation of Benjamin Netanyahu says this will be his last term in office he will spend a good deal of it fighting not just for his innocence in court but against the very institutions that accuse him of breaking the law are equals that aljazeera occupied East Jerusalem joining me now is nice enough 3 a lecture and no City University london thank you for your time just talking to us of a kind about these charges how serious are they want those sort of penalties do they do they carry and well sort of tactics are we likely to see from both sides here. These are very charge serious charges that relate most to corruption as we saw in court these are usually treated seriously especially for somebody who is as senior as the Prime Minister and were talking about 2 years of. Jail sentence here some of the tactic is that which has started early on but weve seen today. This idea has gone to try to. Make it a political spectacle so rather than focus on the legal arguments or the evidence has. His ham and his party are going to push in the direction of saying that it is whole it is all a political conspiracy against him and against and success and against the right wing politics in israel as a favor for saying netanyahu after 18 months has to hand over power to then again if his trial is still ongoing after he hands over power does that change anything legally. Legally no because he will cause hes still will be the defendant in his and this trial. Witnesses will give evidence it etc all of all hold everything where the trial will go ahead the only defense is probably go going to say that he has now he will after. Giving up his position as Prime Minister he will have more time to be in the court and also. Deal with his defense and so things might go a little bit faster that some analysts have expressed concern that everything that netanyahu does while his trial is ongoing will be looked at from the view of the fact that his trial is ongoing the anything he does might be seen to be trying to perhaps detract attention what do you think. Of course and its not only just when this trial is ongoing even before that were talking about you know last few years most of the points many of the decisions that were made there was always a cloud of doubt about the motivations behind them especially when it comes to appointment of. Judges or point of. For. For enforcement of or appointment of. Law enforcement personnel so this is going to continue and this also d raises the bigger question of couldnt a sitting Prime Minister do his or her job properly where there are fiercely criminal charges which is of course an important question and words to the Supreme Court to preserve the last month or so decided that. Sitting Prime Minister doesnt have to resign even if there are facing criminal charges thank you for your time a muslim on their electorate no at City University london. Resisting fierce pressure even from within his own Party British Prime Minister Abbas Johnson is standing by Senior Adviser Dominic Cummings theyve been growing demands for cummings to question or to be sexed it emerged that he drove 400 kilometers to his parents house in late march when britain was under a Strict Lockdown to prevent the spread of coronavirus the day barber is live for us now in london so in a dream Abbas Johnson is unwavering in his support for cummings in the face of really some pretty tough questions. He really is and its something of a surprise how robust his defense was i mean over the last 24 hours there has been a real evolving situation where the press revealed details of mr cummings his journey their number 10 downing street put out a statement saying that for example the police had not spoken to mr cummings his family then the local police said yes they actually had done so there has been already a heightened sense of of annoyance if you like about the way that number 10 were handling the story and then a lot of people might have been asking themselves would Boris Johnson in fact express some kind of regret perhaps the confusion if nothing else given the growing sense of anger over what mr cummings seems to have done not so tall he said that he acted legally responsibly and with dignity as i said i looked very clear ive seen a lot of stuff in the last few days about this episode of self isolation by mr cummings that does not seem to correspond remotely with reality and. As the as far as i can see he stuck to the rules and he he wanted legally and responsibly and with the with the soul of the sole objective of avoiding such contact as would spread the virus. So dave has there been any reaction yes and also can you remind our viewers of why Dominic Cummings is so important. We show on mr cohen is hes important because he was brought in by Boris Johnson last summer when he became Prime Minister and oversaw really a purge of people in the cabinet that didnt see eye to eye over bricks it of course mr cummings led the leave campaign hes very controversial has actually been found in contempt of parliament before for refusing to answer questions but hes got the loyalty clearly of mr johnson some people say that thats why Boris Johnson was so robust and didnt give an inch people willy might have expected the message to acknowledge more the sacrifices that people have been making on the lockdown which is at the heart of would you have allowed anybody else to do this kind of journey for example the leader of the opposition kiss starmer has said the public will be forgiven for thinking there is one rule for Prime Ministers the Prime Ministers closest adviser and another for the british people he said that Boris Johnson failed the test here and he says that this could under mine confidence in Public Health messaging from the government thats been picked up by Tim Montgomery a well known conservative journalist former advisor to Boris Johnson who said that cummings must go partly because this will undermine the governments efforts now to ease the lock down including getting people to send their children back to school in early june something Boris Johnson tried to reiterate at the Daily Briefing but which is of course getting hidden by these growing controversy and then there are a number of conservative politicians who are angry about it saying that their constituencies constituents rather contacting them saying for example they couldnt see their dying parents because of the guidelines and yet mr cummings is allowed in their view to get away with it so its not going to go away thank you then but their cost about minutes from london. And more ahead on the news including not enough everyone families in senegal forced to make their case for food pandemic for instance starvation for millions worldwide. And under the shadow of coronavirus subdued celebrations for muslims marking one of their most important holidays. Spiralling numbers of covered 1000 cases in brazil are leading to more speculation that the u. S. Will announce a travel ban brazil now has the 2nd highest number of cases in the world behind the u. S. Confirmed infections a nearly 350000 more than 22000. 00 people have done late for the true total could be even higher testing rights. I think that will have a 212 after. Today with respect to brazil and just like we did with the u. K. And europe and china and we hope that will be temporary but because of the situation in brazil were going to take every step necessary to protect the American People so that sounds like you are looking to cut off travel from brazil in the southern hemisphere. Do you. Say brazil and well take a look at the other countries in the country by country basis for sure. It is monitoring developments from the sounds or so it looks like a travel ban with brazil is on the cards in the u. S. Has there been any reaction. Well not so far and im coming from brazil the government there is waiting for a confirmation coming from the United States although its clear that this ban will most likely arrive in the coming hours similar to what the u. S. Has done previously with countries that had become the epicenter of the crisis 1st banning non u. S. Citizens traveling from china our people that had been in china in the previous 14 days and then in the same happened with people traveling from European Countries that had seen a big jump in the number of coronavirus cases its clear that washington has been falling over this decision for the past week as the number have been going up in brazil we 1st heard the possibility of it coming directly from President Donald Trump on tuesday said the government was indeed theyre considering it in that you dont want people arriving in the u. S. That could infect more americans and also then one people then to go back to brazil and bring more infections there giving the fact that its clear said that brazil was going through a lot of trouble so were going to have to see in the coming hours d if there will be a confirmation and if indeed there will be a response coming from the government here both or not in brazil. And we will of course monitor that but incredibly giant also not doesnt seem too fazed by the spread of coronavirus in his country because hes facing another sort of scandal. Absolutely youd expect them to be given the fact that now brazil is the 2nd worst affected country anywhere in the world after the United States instead they his presidency is being consumed by all these accusations some of them have to do with his mild response to depend they make hes been playing and down from the start fighting with openly fighting with mayors and governors who have imposed isolation measures against the will of the president and now hes being accused of interfering game 2 Police Investigations concerning his son from a former minister of justice of this cabinet that man being says show model who is also a can see there the Anti Corruption side in in the country of brazil as it was now going after ball so natural and also a lot of brazilians had that depressing view of the. President both sinatra and his cabinet members in a video of a recent Cabinet Meeting that was shown at 2 days ago in brazil where both the natl is attacking the police chief of nato also the federal police chief and also is ministers didnt really talk at all of the response to the coronavirus making practically no mention of aid so there are a number of ministers in saying that mayors and governors should be sent to jail for imposing isolation measures that this Court Justice also should be sent to jail because they gave the last word to those mayors and governors the minister of vironment also was the only one to really mention the coronavirus saying that the government had to take advantage of this situation to try. And relax the environmental measures in the amazon so a lot of people are clearly angry at this government and there are now more than 30 requests from opposition parties to put forward the impeachment measures against both and plus this investigation that could. Get him out of office thank you for that tack off to developments in brazil from bogota. Chroma dsouza is a brazilian political analyst he joins me now from the capital brasilia i thank you for your time so dr wilson out of continues to to play down the impact of the virus even though confirmed infections are more than 350000. 00 with the true total put to be even higher than that tell you how is that the Health System causing a person called thank you so much for that were pleased to be here and talk about resident critical well that was an impulse that helps sustain its core elements naturally because we are a huge kountry here and we suffer during the last years with far less costs and less meant to keep rents and renovation of medical teams its particularly when we talk about like 9 since really the Health System we have. A perfect storm because resemble palatial so pretty not just with coronavirus least as swift thing hes recovered iras and other kinds of diseases so the lack of critical a shim between the creditor of over him and the State Government then the city the City Government created a perfect storm in terms of Public Health year one reaction are we likely to see do you think to the news that the u. S. May impose a travel ban to brazil because of the number of coronavirus cases there how do you think that is likely to go down with the president. Well brazil its its its really polarized sitcom training is like the moment and president george bush on our likes to to explain for everyone that hes he has that kind of special relationship with President Trump so any kind of measure made by u. S. Government in terms of what trego been can be a problem in terms of the narrative of tradeable some are specifically would have. Huge and a lot of emotion in the political debate year and probably president wilson arteries you remember painted kinds of a negative narrative about the koran the virus crisis here as the death toll continues to rise it now stands at more than 22000 people have died from covered 19 in brazil i mean how much longer can can both of our keep playing down the pandemic and is this in any way impacting his popularity well this that your question is that 1000000. 00 question earlier because thats typically we are seeing. When ari is losing popularity but these laws a popularity not read he slowly away and why because it seems the beginning of the cold read 1000 crisis here in brazil he did they are trying to talk just with the political sporters sold to speak all he needs of i mean that kind of dark. Analysis trends and these people just didnt see any kind of hope turn out in terms of political political and skate here in brazil any cameron so mideast these especially if the fact that. They believe is up people about the efficiency of the suit crucially brazil is not do it in theirs or that commitment in not just because our own are dont have branches of the president government are not. Really good in doing their jobs and so good coach again if problems are resilient people here thank you so much for your time. There a brazilian political analyst thank you thank you so much was a pleasure. India has reported its biggest daily increase in confirmed covered 1000. 00 cases nearly 6700. 00 were added to bring the total number of defections to nearly 132000 another 140. 00 people died on saturday sikkim the last state that was free of the virus has now reported its 1st case as despite a nationwide lockdown 1000 Ministry Says it has increased testing well davis and is a professor of economics at university and a member of the right to Food Campaign she says india needs to improve its Health System. What we know from the evidence on the little notice until now and the expedience all we know the last 2 months of the law the one that im the finance to look down is if you what the betting your Health System will say is that the standing infection and that the something i think we did not do enough of what we believe need to focus on is stents in the not Health System to be able to take on the increased caseload but at the same temple in from up on the testing and seeing and isolation and so on this is where were doing very poorly and in the country like india with more than 90 percent of the workforce is of the moment and this almost all of the media we cannot afford a nationwide lockdown and social distancing or physical distance doesnt mean the same thing for people across classes so what we really need to focus on this simple this thing tracing isolation and a better Health System. So ahead here on out is there some relief soon at the fuel pumps in caracas and iranian ships and reaches venezuela and war since. And all kind of lost confusion on here where speeches as new york state tries to relax coronavirus restrictions. But.

Down trunks National Security advisor says a travel ban may soon have to be imposed on brazil and that an American Country has the 2nd highest number of covert infections in the world behind the u. S. And seems reminiscent of the violence that rocked hong kong for months last year that makes a fired tear gas and water cannon to disperse thousands of protesters they return to the streets today as beijings plan to impose National Security laws on the city from hong kong patron brown reports. The panic of protest running from police dispersing crowds gathered in defiance of social distancing rules. A familiar arsenal was deployed to clear the streets of demonstrators angry about the chinese governments plans to impose a security law on the city while the whole culture truly serious they leave critical. We are there we go to trial this communist party would be able to go suppress. Powerful people in thailand all pay the communist party is far more dangerous than covert 19 you know and it could soon be dangerous the way flags like this calling for an independent hong kong or banners predicting the destruction of the communist party under the proposed law such sentiments could be defined as subversion. Familia slogans rang through the calls way bay shopping district there from god not a place for families on this sunday afternoon there were many arrests as protest has occupied some of the citys busiest roads hong kong finds itself caught in the middle of a deepening cold war between china and the United States and the could be more economic pain on the way because washington is now warning that its going to review the special trading relationship that hong kong currently enjoys with the u. S. Another sign of what chinas top diplomat says is foreign meddling in hong kongs affairs. External forces are illegally interfering in hong kong the fears which is cause serious harm to chinas National Security into my it is still not clear if the new law will restrict protests like the chinas foreign minister insists it will only target a narrow category of acts the law is not expected to take effect until august but before then are a number of sensitive anniversaries including the 1st protest that marked the beginning of this movement adrian brown al jazeera hong kong. Chinas foreign minister has also accused politicians in the u. S. Of spreading lies about its response to the chrono virus pandemic concern e. U. Has more from beijing. China wants cooperation with other countries and world bodies but will stand up to any challenge to its sovereignty or its message that was a key theme from foreign minister one at his press conference in beijing he appeared to show a very little patience for any International Criticism leveled at china in fact he appeared quite torn death to it in particular he focused on chinas relationship with the u. S. He said it was important for the true countries to Work Together as the worlds biggest developing country and the biggest developed country and to show Global Leadership and respect each others systems whether he acknowledged the deterioration of via lateral relationship he said that it had been brought to the brink of cold war and through this he laid the blame squarely at the feet of u. S. Politicians he didnt name any names but he said that u. S. Politicians have been engaging in an anti China Smear Campaign around covert 19 and had been guilty of spreading what he called a political virus. Political virus used to be used about unity to attack and they discredit china some a politicians have to ignored the most basic realities of the fabricated too many laws but his strongest words for the us were around taiwan he called this issue a red line and said the International Community needed to respect the one ton of principle and using quite strong words he said that the u. S. Was dreaming if it bought it anyway it could prevent reunification future we advice the us to throw away on realistic fundus ease and the let go of domestic political calculation which we are telling the us not to challenge chinas bottom line and finally he defended china from any accusations that it had mishandled the corona Virus Outbreak he repeated words that weve heard time and time again from beijing saying that beijing has acted responsibly and with transparency and he also said that the World Health Organization needed to be supported and strengthened and not the opposite. One of 5 iranian tankers carrying millions of dollars worth of fuel has entered venezuelan waters despite warnings from the u. S. To iran has threatened to retaliate if washington tries to stop its vessels according to online tracking diasur the ship fortune is in northern venezuela after passing Trinidad And Tobago set to reach the port of the west of caracas later on sunday the other 4 ships are expected to arrive in the next few days bringing in a total of 1500000. 00 barrels of iranian petrol its expected to ease fuel shortages in venezuela but its in violation of sanctions imposed by washington on both countries. Scenes like these are common in venezuela an oil rich country thats frustratingly short of petrol drivers lined up through the night on saturday anticipating fresh supplies at petrol pumps with the arrival of the iranian ship venezuelas fuel used to be among the worlds cheapest now its as much as 3. 20 a liter on the black market Mohammad Marandi is professor of orientalism at the university of tehran he says the u. S. Should not dictate trade terms to other countries. Americans cant make up their mind on the what 1st they say that iranians are taking from the venezuelans and now theyre saying the man as well and start taking from the iranians what is important is that these are normal trade ties between 2 sovereign independent countries and the regime in washington is in no position to dictate terms to the International Community and iran is not a weak country by countries within the e. U. Which will simply bowed down to the United States when it makes a mans and sending 5 ships was a big message it wasnt just one of 2 tankers it fuels 5 tankers so the iranians did that both to give support to the venezuelan people out of solidarity with the venezuelan people to prevent them from suffering and also in an act of defiance to us hegemony and also i think the americans understood quite well that the iranians would retaliate. And they could all families of coronavirus victims are searching for the remains of their loved ones the hospitals morgues and cemetaries overwhelmed hundreds of bodies have not been identified and in the course of a boy a kill many have not been stored properly leaving them to decompose the sentiment has our report and a warning some of us might find some of the images distressing. Neha to be your to has been sitting at home with an empty coffin for 2 months. The grandmother who brought her up died on march 27th of coronavirus you know why akil hospital and now yet has been searching for her missing body ever since your last stand there better than ever its very hard i ask myself mommy where are you i wish i had her ashes in my house to know that shes here and that the family can all be together again i need this to be over. Shes not alone who despair the elia life family whole sign. To asking where is my father my husband where our human rights. Died on march 29th in hospital and the search for his body has been nothing short of horrifying. Nobody at the hospital gave us an answer they just said he was in there so i went to the container where the corpses were to search for him one by one the only thing i found was the ticket with his name on it but to this day i still have found him. The pandemic at the doors tropical problems and its capital by a key totally unprepared bodies were left on the street others were piled up in containers at the morgue. And now after 2 months many of them have decomposed because of inadequate refrigeration making their identification more difficult. But many relatives arent giving up. At least 100 families have joined together on this day protesting outside of quiet prosecutors office. Theyre demanding that authorities produce results and punish those responsible but then also to report the protocols once respected here they did as they pleased they even charge people for the right to go look through the bodies every day more people are in the situation. Daughter is one of them yes well this was the death certificate they gave us and this one was to get my father out to bury him with this code the codes never existed just little pieces of paper on the bodies full of blood. Theres no doubt that the pandemic overwhelmed Health Services here. But 2 months on the best thing that mourners like marjorie can hope for is that the system that failed them will right the wrong thats been done and eventually reunite them with their loved ones remains.
