Police being too heavy handed to shove thats putting their actions at anti racism rallies into more scrutiny. Also a taste of life after breakfast that people out of work during coronavirus answer a pick for britain rallying call. I do not doubt that the work will be our glamorous and at times challenging but it is of the utmost importance. Good to have you with us welcome to the news our fighters linked to libyas u. N. Recognized government and celebrating the sudden collapse of ward cleaver have to 14 the battle to take over the capital they were taken to see. Good to whom a strategically important base to have to the forces in western libya its about 65 kilometers from the capital tripoli also to bari begins our coverage. Celebrating another important game. Forces for the un backed government of National Accord in control of tarhouni the city was the last major stronghold of world war Khalifa Haftar in western libya in the mosul after we were all keen to achieve the victory without hesitation who is a big difference between a solid fighter who fights for his cause and another one who does have weapons without a cause will be defeated if you dont have a cause to fight for we have a cause for the air of the thousands here the turkeys military support has helped the internationally recognized governments of National Accord to a series of territorial gains in recent weeks. As well as ending have 2 hours 14 month attempt to capture tripoli that led to battles in the capital Southern Suburbs and rocket attacks on the city center. After our self declared Libyan National army which is backed by russia the u. A. E. And egypt said its troops were being withdrawn from tripoli in order to give the ceasefire talks a chance to who now was the main launch pad for the offensive against the capital that have to use force is finally abandoned this week. G. N. A. T. Commander said forces had reached the center of town huna after entering from 4 sides. But the l. N. H. Continues to control in Eastern Libya where there is a parallel administration into broke as well as large parts of the south where the main oil fields are located the United Nations has warned the recent flood of weapons and fighters to both sides in libya risks in a major new escalation has those offensive on tripoli had to key strongholds into it was launched from 2 key strongholds the 1st was a what the air base that was taken not too long ago and the 2nd was. After the fall of the what the other half those forces knew that they could not hold on to. Tripoli offensive so they began to withdraw some of their troops and dont want to hold a news from total of comes after the d. N. A. Went to moscow and after the meeting between and again and several hours the president of the g n a where its believed that turkey and russia are now negotiating a framework of cooperation so the tohono today its unclear whether it fell because of the military attack by the d. N. A. Forces or whether this is part of a negotiated exchange between the russians and between the turks with regards to libya but in terms of its significance it means the end complete end of half that as a tripoli offensive. A new diplomatic effort is underway to try restart talks on a lasting cease fire. And ending 9 years of civil war since the overthrow and killing of longtime ruler Muammar Gadhafi door such a party al jazeera. A correspondent of the wire there was an internet sudden this report. This is the main square and the city of 3rd who now that used to be the major stronghold for half the forces in the west of libya now forces loyal to the internationally recognized government are in full control of the city after heavy fighting after they managed to drive i would have to his forces from the city now this with a converter of the city after who now by the Government Forces is mainly attributed to Turkish Military support for the Government Forces and also there was the role of the Russian Military is. To have to forces the full of the city of the who and the Government Forces hands means the full of have clear the coach richt and the west of libya the 1st of his military campaign that his forces launched it in april last year to seize the capital to put. The city of the who. Used to be very strategic and very significant for have to. Ministry supplies when to have to. 70 and in fact they had a Central Command here in the city of kut who now that was running the battles in southern to Pretty Simple command here of those forces was run by russian egyptian and him a few minutes we expect according to the thats according to the Government Military sources that the capital. By the government does not mean the end of the fighting as the Government Forces say that they are determined to. Chase after. Further south to the city of anybody. Can see me as a senior libyan analyst on the International Crisis Group Machine says maybe trying to spin it as an International Move out of this and intentionally putting me out of the city and its a setback for his offensive. Afterwards mouthpieces continue to portray this as a tactical withdrawal but theres no doubt that various factors have contributed to this withdrawal 1st the war there with the goal of Russian Troops so. Private mercenaries that have been helping huffed out over the past weeks we saw them pull out of tripoli and other areas about 10 days ago so this was a really a setback to have to our forces recently imports of weaponry brought in by taking to help of the g. N. A. T. And actually doesnt seem that the battle of terror who now was a battle it was no real fighting so we assume that it was a withdrawal not so tactical but actually a retreat because they couldnt sustain the potential offensive threat that could have ensued had they tried to keep up with distance theres also the possible variable of an under the table deal between the foreign sponsors and between sites and theres a lot of uncertainty on what will happen next. Weve registered over the past months increasing dissatisfaction by have terrys foreign backers about the conduct of the war and about his own personal conduct you know and also injection diplomats have been voicing this in in private conversations so i think what theyre trying to achieve is avoid a counter offensive if possible but that also depends on what the g. And a the trip that he based where he sits and allied with the g. 8 do meaning if they start their part of success and their military victories that to who now and do not venture further east then we could see a freezing of the conflict or at least you know ceasefire talks proceeding but if g. M. A. Courses and politicians call for a continued offensive towards syria. Or even further east on the Oil Terminals then at that point i think there is foreign backers might recalculate once again and go for your counter offensive. Or President Donald Trump believes the u. S. Economy is bouncing back from the efforts of the coronavirus pandemic hes just arrived to bangor in the state of maine as you can see those pictures come down the steps to go to a factory thats making swabs and this is of course. After an unexpected drop in the latest unemployment figures but 18000000. 00 jobs have been lost in the past 3 months the Unemployment Rate has fallen to 13. 3 percent after 2 and a half 1000000 new jobs were created last month now thats being credited to the easing of coronavirus restrictions it was a different story in april in march when more than 21000000. 00 people lost their jobs experts say it could take months for the 30000000 Americans Still collecting Unemployment Benefits to find work when we had a problem we were able to cut it off stop it just like this stop keep everyone. Keep them away keep them together away uninfected and we saved millions of lives and now were opening and were opening with a bang and weve been talking about the v. A. This is better than a v. This is a rocket ship lets cross over to our White House Correspondent kimberly health that has been following events for us through the day and complete we just saw the president arrive in bangor maine of course well get to why hes there in a moment but of course he was talking about those very positive economic job creation at a press conference in the white house earlier in the day but sort of even that press conference went to ryan as well. Well the president doesnt think it went her right he was clearly jubilant and touted these economic numbers and essentially declare that the Great American comeback is underway there were expecting a 20 percent Unemployment Rate today one in 5 americans but instead of losing approximately 9 more 1000000 jobs they saw again or at least those numbers showing that some jobs that were turned off turn back on 2 and a half 1000000 and what the u. S. President is predicting is that the fall will be even better and next year will be great critical and all of that is reelect me so that i can make next year great and that has a soft well with President Trumps opponent the former Vice President joe biden he is the Presumptive Democratic president ial nominee to face off with donald trump in november hes been speaking criticizing saying that it wasnt the act of god that turned off all these jobs like the president says that proto virus did what it is this incompetence and mismanagement he also criticized the president for having the Mission Accomplished sign over the u. S. Economy when there are still so many millions of americans out of work struggling to put food on the table but still the u. S. President as he always does puts a positive spin is the economys cheerleader and argue that what hes doing shows that it works and if you elect joe biden in the fall then what you can expect is the economic doom and gloom so clearly what were in right now is election season and these 2 sides the democrats and the republicans trump and biden have clearly state the argument that this is really going to that severe referendum on the presidency but also on economic recovery where the. Democratic Chuck Schumer who saying that hes concerned about public such a job being law schools im sure will be. Talking about this and referring to this one of these in many of those calls to talk to some very important people. Hell definitely be doing this hes touring a plant to swap making plant in bangor maine that is kind of critical for the president since a democratic leaning state but this one pocket where this plant is located has been successful in him picking up an electoral seat so in the very complicated u. S. Political system this is of interest to the u. S. President but hes also making some headlines that he may have to also talk about up there and that is about the ongoing social unrest in the United States because in that rose garden conference the u. S. President once again double down on his heavy handed militarized approach to bringing cars to the nations streets when the peaceful protesting sometimes turns into rioting looting in some cases murder he boasted that minneapolis is now called washington d. C. Is now calm because he called in the National Guard and hes urging democratic mayors and governors to do the same but he really made controversy when he said once again as he tweeted earlier in the week hes done more for the black community than any other president and given the fact that there are such raw emotions right now in communities of color this is certainly not sitting well also not sitting well as his comment the george floyd the victim that ignited these protests is looking down and would likely approve again to have a white man speak on behalf of a black man never sits well in this country particularly a president that uses incendiary language at such a fragile time of Race Relations in the United States so were watching carefully to see what else the president might say on that visit to maine things could be hope about awards house correspondent well employment in school in the u. S. Last month more than 25 percent of people aged between 16 to 20 full well to work but its hard to come straight reports from washington so the effects will last a very little tone.

Plenty more coming up on the news hour including a renewed Health Crisis in iran as it hits a new daily record of coronavirus takes is plus. Im scott high there in bangkok thailand where the ever important Tourism Industry has been heavily impacted by 90 but now the government is trying to position the country as one of the save this destinations in the world once it finally opens back up. When the migrants wanting to return home are stranded in unsanitary conditions in neighboring colombia because of the coronavirus pandemic at least 300 people are in a makeshift camp on the northern outskirts of the couple bottles but as well as limiting how many can return each day to stem the spread of the virus on a sunday he joins me now from the outskirts of bogota it does seem that these migrants a stark and that they have for the moment nowhere to turn to for help was a situation like where you are. That is the case so that makeshift camp that you see behind me was built in the last week as you were saying in your introduction is the number of people that the venezuelan allowing back in the country has been reduced to being reduced every week where they went from roughly 800 people who now at times less than 80 every single day and just to formal crossings that have been now authorized to operate as humanitarian corridors on the border so what happens is that there are thousands of venezuelans that are out of a job have lost their homes in some cases theyve been kicked out of their rentals being unable to pay because of their plan their make their now. Trying to go back and theyre not able to they get stuck along the route so we spoke to a family for example here that of walk 30 days to arrive here they had been told that they could have gotten on a bus here that some Nongovernmental Organization were organizing tollers the border but with the situation at the border getting more complicated by the day. These have decided that nobody can leave as at least for a while until the situation changes on the border there are more than a 1000 people stuck at one of the border crossings and now there are tauzin in the city of. 500 kilometers north from here and now more than 500 at this camp and. Its a very dramatic situation for these people they dont have water here they dont have food that they dont have any kind of services they depend on the generosity of strangers but the colombian see these are responding just in the few hours that weve been here there have been people stopping with food or toys for the kids trucks organized by foundations with food for today so theyll probably be ok at least for now but the situation is that they need this solution for the long term and theres no solution at least for the moment indeed it is a problem though that weve been reporting on is waylands because regions are nationals across the region trying to get home but finding that they really have the same sort of problem. Its becoming very theyre fickle tearing colombe out even more so because there isnt there are no relationship between this country and venice where again the. Mag ration Health Authorities of the 2 countries managed to open this humanitarian corridor about there is very little communication. To reduce the number that they allow in fearing the spread of coronavirus from one day to the other so it becomes very difficult for these people to go home and theyre not finding a way to survive and theyre receiving countries and thats why theyre trying to go back at least for now they know that the situation is very difficult to back home but they say that at least they have a home there they have relatives and they prefer to go back at least for now i was on the run p. S. E. In bogota thank you. Though the World Health Organization has revised its advice on the use of face masks during the pandemic it says new information supports the belief that people over 60 all those with underlying medical conditions should wear a mask physical distancing isnt possible its also recommending Health Workers in areas of widespread transmission where medical minutes even when theyre not working with coronavirus patients. The consensus coming out is that when people are in the public with these masks they can actually use and they provide some source of actually control so what they do is they prevent a person who may be me actually have the disease from. Transmitting it to somebody else. But iraq has reported its highest number of covert 1000 infections in a single day there were nearly 3600 new cases in the past 24 hours present Hasan Rouhani has warned strict measures will have to be reimposed if social distancing isnt respected from to her own zain. Its been a worrying week for many iranians the number of daily corona virus infections is back at record levels not seen since march doctors say the threat of a 2nd wave of covert 19 is very real but yes deborah to be a 2nd date if personal hygiene is not opposite we may again face sharp care if people are careful to some extent but its better if they care more with smaller crowds or more caution got wheeling. Globally the corona virus is spreading faster than ever last week Johns Hopkins university recorded the highest infection rates so far. In iran work over 1000 infections were waning after the lock down there again increasing in at least 10 out of 31 provinces control measures on public life last month something Health Ministry officials warned might make people complacent infection fears seem to have become less of a concern for some and intercity travel during holidays and weekends is on the rise again irans president says that people should learn to adapt and live with the virus not bend or ignore social distancing rules. People and businesses must seriously take into consideration warnings and precautionary measures by officials about the resurgence of the disease the noble people of iran should know if these measures a not taken seriously anywhere in the country or god forbid the disease rises again or thora will be forced to bring back some restrictions and that would affect the normal life of citizens and badly harm the economy for people running shops that opened only a few weeks ago and are still recovering losses from the 1st lockdown the prospect of a 2nd one is unthinkable. Some say threatening another lockdown shows the government is out of touch with the people. President rouhani is living on easy street he is not thinking about us the young the iranians im 32 and i have nothing of my own no car no flats not even a simple motorbike some money to start a Small Business they live on easy street they give orders and we have to say ok others say if the government wants people to stay at home they should compensate them as has been done in other countries and you have. Until the money if they pay the expenses of people like me and even these traders for 2 to 3 months then they can say shut down your businesses is not difficult its easy but when people find money. Talking to iranians about a 2nd wave of the virus the response is always the same god forbid. But even as they carry on with their lives Health Experts say its not if a 2nd wave is coming but when zayn. Deals with a possible 2nd wave thailand is touting itself as the trusted destination for tourists as reports thailands Natural Beauty and luxury resorts draw visitors from all over the world and from all walks of life at least it did before covert 19 its hotels and beaches now sit empty. The global shutdown has exposed the countrys huge economic reliance on the travel industry one that will never be the same after the pandemic and wooing back Foreign Tourists is not going to be easy but the government has a plan. Its growing the marketing message beyond amazing thailand its now focused on driving home the idea that the country is one of the safest and cleanest places to visit and launched a health and Safety Certification Program for travel companies or tourists want to know now yes how beautiful the destination is but also is it safe to go there i think safety will be the main concern and if we can give them confidence and have a good stand it it wont be hot when back to. The Certification Program covers a wide range of cleaning procedures and regulations on how to protect staff and the public the Thai Hotel Group on tara has already received certification for one of its Bangkok Properties at its beach resort in who when they see the certificate as an important credential to have but its what happens after thats critical. Execution of the standards is key. In terms of the manuals and process and the standards thats all very well but its a day to day interaction and delivery from the people that will make the difference. Despite having the 1st case of covert 900. 00 outside of china thailand has maintained low infection rates and quickly flattened its Curve Community cooperation and containment measures worked the government now wants to capitalize on that as it calculates reopening bangkok superdome airport here is the countrys biggest and busiest over 80 percent of the 65000000. 00 passengers last year were international but now its been reduced to just a trickle of domestic and repatriation flights its going to stay that way at least until the end of june when the International Arrivals ban is lifted it was put in place back in early april with millions of jobs on the line thailand needs to see its airports busy again but it will be a slow and steady opening if there is any increase in covert 1000. 00 cases any progress in building travelers confidence could come crashing down scott hyder al jazeera bangkok well still ahead here on the aljazeera news.
