Iran has reported its highest number of 1000 infections in a single day on thursday there were nearly 3600 new cases and president Hassan Rouhani has warned strict social measures will have to be reimposed a social distancing isnt respected. Samus ravi reports 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 if personal hygiene is not opposite we may again face sharp care people are careful to some extent but its better if they care more with smaller crowds a 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 lockdown 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 or the 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 ask return to us 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 to be. 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 the same bus ravi wrote the wrong. Well the u. N. Says more than 1300 people have been killed during fighting in the democratic republic of congo in the past 8 months various conflicts are underway in the country involving a number of armed groups and Government Forces the violence has forced more than half a 1000000 people to flee their homes in just 9 months the uns high commissioner for human rights some incidents may amount to war crimes thousands have been protesting in malis capital calling on the president to resign they are demonstrating against corruption arbitrary arrests and allegations of vote rigging during parliamentary elections in april thankless heart has been following developments from the car and neighboring senegal. People are asking is for the government to do their job and to protect the population thats one of the issues there but there are numbers of groups involved in these protests and were talking more than 20000 people so gathered in the capital of bomb a grammy we havent seen protests like this since the return of democracy in 1991 last year the organizers of this person. Had organized demonstrations where people were chanting out with foreign troops this year today theyre asking for the resignation of brian burke our kates up and the reason behind all of this is that not only is the security situation getting bad but for ordinary mali and for instance some of the protesters are there are teachers that havent been paid for 7 months you have nurses were dealing with the current outbreak of the coronavirus or struggling to have access to Running Water and you also have members of the opposition with their leaders to my less say whos been in the hand in the custody of armed groups for announced 3 months with the government seemingly doing little to try to bring him back or to try to secure his release so all of this combined means that theres a lot of people that are growing impatient with their government they want to see more action from the. Well friday is World Environment Day and the u. N. Is calling for greater efforts to protect the planets Living Systems and this years focus is biodiversity which is under threat like never before so the u. N. Says recent events such as wildfires in the amazon the u. S. And australia and locust infections right across east africa show just how fragile the worlds ecosystems have become the emergence of cover 1000 has also highlighted the ever decreasing frontier between wildlife and humans 75 percent if emerging Infectious Diseases are zoonotic meaning they can jump from animals to humans and 1000000. 00 species are under threat of extinction experts warn action must be taken now to prevent an irreversible collapse and biodiversity in a quark reports the wonders of the Natural World are in and to dick to these troubling times especially the extraordinary life in our ations like the millions of golden jellyfish here in the marine lakes of pillow a unique subspecies evolved to Harvest Energy directly from sunlight all the myriad diversity of the worlds coral reefs where 25 percent of marine species live but here too theres another biomass which dwarfs Everything Else combined and its invisible to the naked eye its the microbial life of the seas and its found everywhere from the surface to 4000 meters down. And these unseen microbes include astronomical quantities of viruses that attack marine bacteria all part of the web of life in the sea. In fright every liter of seawater contains more viruses that there are people on the planet 95 percent of all life in the oceans by weight is comprised not of fish or of whales but of microbes. And it is these microbes that create 50 percent of all oxygen on the planet every 2nd breath that we breathe. The problem is from invisible lifeforms to some of the biggest piece on the planet biodiversity is threatened by environmental destruction for the African Elephant its more than just poaching for the ivory trade were also facing big big challenges when it comes to happen that transformation for a Larger Industries and of course the biggest impact that is less talked about which is the increasing population of africans and therefore the competing nature of land between elephants and people and its when the ever decreasing frontier between wildlife and humans is breached disease like corona virus can jump from animals to people out of the 7800000 species that we have on the planet about 1000000 species are under threat from extinction and thats a lot because the nature is this finely attuned by diversifying its human system where each one plays each species plays a role in the bigger puzzle with 19 is clearly one of these messages that we need to understand and heed very fast that you cant continue to undermine and encroach on nature and expect nature to be stable its apparent that were at a turning point.
