Ok lets get going we begin with the border crisis between india and china both sides say they are working to ease tensions after a longstanding dispute led to violence earlier this week 20 indian soldiers were killed in the worst fighting in the disputed himalayan region in decades. Top diplomats from the 2 countries have spoken over the telephone and theyve agreed to restart talks the dispute centers on the got one valley region. As more. In the remote western himalayas there is little evidence of what indian and chinese soldiers to their worst of violence in decades both sides gave different versions of the violence and how it unfolded. Amid a call for deescalation the body of a soldier is laid to rest indias army said there were casualties on both sides with no shots fired according to media reports most soldiers drowned allegedly punched and shoved on to rocks and eventually falling into a river with severe head injuries. Chinese military drills like this one have become more common both sides have increased their military presence in recent months with tension rising over who owns what land. The border has been disputed since india and china went to war in 1062. 00 the line in yellow is the socalled line of actual control but there are several disputed areas on either side one of the main was is exciting its claimed by india that administered by china. China says their shared interests are stronger than their conflicts but it also has a warning which we once again ask india to act on our consensus and strictly disciplined us troops not to cross the line to provide and not to take unilateral action that may complicate the situation. Prime minister Narendra Modi says india wants peace but is ready to defend itself. I want to assure the nation that the sec refined our soldiers have made will not stories waste for us the integrity of india and our sovereignty is the most important thing and nobody can stop us from protecting them. From families its a time of mourning this father says he cant believe his son a colonel is dead now dont you feel under deep shock after hearing about my sons misfortune i never expected this. Not much that Indian Officials have rejected accusations they calls this escalation furious protesters say china must be punished the debate over this border isnt new but beijing strained relationship with the u. S. May have fueled mistrust and its true that india has to do several steps in recent times. To have a closer military relationship with the United States. A political divide now raising the stakes for beijing and new delhi over where their vast frontier begins and ends. Up a simple yawn aljazeera elizabeth has the latest now from new delhi. Both foreign ministries have released statements saying that they are going to deescalate the situation on the border as soon as possible that follows a phone conversation between the Foreign Ministers but whats really interesting is that they continue to blame each other for what happened for the violence in the strongest possible terms both sides maintaining that it was the other that trespassed on their territory started the violence and also that it was the other that broke the june agreement to deescalate sharon and the of the government is under pressure to both explain how 20 soldiers were killed along the border for the 1st time in 45 years and also to take action against what happened because for the past 10 days the government had been assuring people that any border disputes could be solved through dialogue and wall many defense accusing china of encroaching on n. D. s territory the government said that the situation was under control now we are seeing those protests will be a small and many cities around and deal with the burning of chinese flags but weve also got reports of Residents Welfare associations asking people to throw out their chinese products and weve seen videos of people doing so as well as that we also have a heightened nationalist media and who are blaming china for what happened and theyve also joined the chorus here of asking the Indian Government what its going to do to retaliate to respond to the deaths of the 20 soldiers katrina use in beijing that the Authorities Say efforts are under way to defuse tensions with india. China says its in close communication with india by both diplomatic and military channels a Foreign Ministry spokesperson jolly gen spoke to the media today on wednesday and said that both sides were intent on resolving this dispute through peaceful dialogue and that china did not want to see any further clashes at the same time jolly jen laid the blame for the deadly brawl on monday so we at the feet of india according to beijing the truce lives actually reached a consensus on the border dispute on june 6th but indian troops violated this consensus and he said they provoked and attacked chinese personnel he also went on to urge the Indian Military to discipline its troops he went on to say further that the location where this altercation took place the goal one valley he said that this was and has always been chinese territory something thats heavily disputed by india and he said that clearly it was clear about who was on the right in the wrong side of this clash that resulted in the deaths of those soldiers on monday now according to indian media there were chinese casualties as well but the Chinese Government is yet to release any numbers and there is some speculation that they may never release these numbers a state media here are saying that this is in fact a sign of goodwill from beijing an example of beijing wanting to pursue peace with india and not wanting to spark any confrontational sentiment that nail lead to all out conflict the u. N. Is also calling on india and china to act with restraint. Weve made clear that were concerned about the words of violence and the deaths at the line of actual control and. Both sides to exercise maximum restraint and certainly weve built of the reports that the 2 countries have been gauged deescalate the situation. Theres a professor of International Relations at the university of westminster in london he says the latest violence is an escalation of long simmering tensions every year but on this fine they will be chinese troops and indian troops regularly in that region so thats nothing new in that works new of course of chinese troops coming in and stayed for longer and thats what has started this now for china i would say if they did it because india started developing infrastructure on its site of what in downtown having been in the airport up there that they cannot agree on where the mines are but the reality is john to have been if they were to not only in this occasion but also in hong kong the f. T. Have been effective with every other country thats the larger chain in china but one thing you have to bear in mind theyre also ever wanted to collapse 54 where each other far off india India Government that claims to be very strong you know the government at least to sort of do that any Indian Government have inch have been shorn and its forced out and weak because of what one of their promise was a strong india but what they got was an Indian Military that was ill prepared to deal with them if their give john. Ok turning our attention to the Korean Peninsula where a war of words is for escalating the dispute there north korea is warning it will redeploy troops near the border and resume military exercises but seoul says it will no longer tolerate what it calls pyongyangs unreasonable behavior rob mcbride reports now from pardews in south korea. Making its message clear and unequivocal the destruction of the joint Liaison Office has been widely broadcast by north korean state run media accompanied by warnings that it will increase its military presence along the border separating the 2 koreas. Guard posts that had been removed to deescalate tensions will now be restored while military exercises on the northern side of the border will be resumed bringing this unusually strong response from the south. Such moves thought to the efforts and achievements made by the 2 koreas to maintain peace and the north will surely pay if these measures are put into action the north has blamed the south for allowing defectors to release propaganda balloons into its territory but north Korean Leader kim jong un is also frustrated at his failure to get more concessions in summits with the south korean president moon j. N. And with u. S. President donald trump the north seeming to conclude that the current path of diplomacy has run its course just doesnt its just not that interested anymore and moon is very constrained by sanctions i mean thats why this thing is sort of been frozen for you and i have im just not sure that much can change in the next 6 months or 8 months jew on the Southern Side of the border relatives of people abducted during the korean war hold a simple ceremony. Many events are being staged with the coming 70th anniversary of the start of the conflict least sango was a baby when his father was abducted to the north. For him and others still living with the wars consequences this latest attempt at reconciliation has achieved little condone when John Kim Jong un wouldnt recognize this issue even uses and the sas korean or dmitri couldnt put the issue on the table dream the summit in any case this section of the border is where rail and road links were meant to be connected if the Current Initiative had been a success it was planned that purdue would become one of the main crossing points between north and south in what would be a new era of peaceful coexistence on the peninsula they are hopes that for the time being at least seen dashed once more Robert Bright aljazeera pad to south korea kim jong il is the youngest sister of the north Korean Leader kim jong un she has emerged as a main figure in the countrys power structure kim gained International Prominence in 20 tinas the 1st member of the ruling family to visit south korea the same year she joined her brother on Diplomatic Missions with south korea china and the United States kim has also been promoted to pyongyangs powerful politburo recently she strongly criticized the south korean president and warned of sending troops to the border to join Liaison Office was blown up after kim jong threatened to destroy it even Foster Carter is a korea analyst at Leeds University in the u. K. He says although the north Korean Leaders sister does hold a powerful position the tough posturing is simply a distraction. He studied in switzerland as a child like you like that it so sadly you know the west especially western education doesnt seem to sort of have the softening fact that some people think that it would the really important thing is that from being sort of in a background of coming along with the blotting paper to dry his signature with the science deals and stuff like that shes not a very important and i dont write as she does she the number of statements the sea air and more particularly this past week. So i think theres a sort of something going on quite apart from all the into current stuff itself behind the scenes there is an issue we all got part about kim jong uns health when he disappeared for a few weeks recently there isnt a clear line of succession because his children are very young in this strange reggie trick i mean as im so do the testing the system would seem to me to have to be to be to deal with domestic politics but obviously it has become negative ramifications for International Politics as well north criminalist of evade sanctions to some degree the economy is bad mainly because of epic restrictions for the coronavirus or to claim not to actually have so you know what do you do you create a distraction you make little screen people very angry against the south koreans and they hold you to frame options the whole of that so i think its about domestic politics economics as well as making trouble internationally and fausta caught the last most ill to come for you know the news including these ones. The way to throw my brother tony abbott murdered on camera is the way black people are truly about willies an america that was the brother of george floyd appealing to the u. N. Human Rights Council to investigate the actions of Police Across the u. S. There and they also had anger in paris after a video emerges showing French Police mistreating a nurse during a protest. And the sports news with andy the Champions League has a new venue and a format for the end of the seasons tournament. The un human Rights Council is holding a rare urgent debate on racism and Police Brutality in the us following the Police Killing of unarmed black man george floyd a group of 54 african countries called for the meeting the council has said it will also examine violence against peaceful protests James Spaders is that its a matter get as a following that meeting for us at u. N. Headquarters in new york hi there james how unusual is it for this kind of topic to be discussed where you are the topic is unusual and the speed this was a ranged is unusual it was convened this meeting just in the last few days and the meetings title is the current racially inspired Human Rights Violations systemic Racism Police brutality and violence against Peaceful Protesters no bench and there in the title of the United States but clearly the United States is the focus and the protests after the killing of george floyd in fact one of the main speakers who sent a video message was George Floyds brother. The way the barber brother tony abbott murdered all kara is the way black people are truly about police and america you watch my brother dad there could have been me i hear about brad people who i met in a says are your brother the 1st the people of america and you have the power to help earth get there from barbara that there are lower x. If you know theyre helping on. You to help me i think you help her black people in america were representing the u. N. At this meeting we heard from the high commissioner for human rights but we also heard from the most senior african official of the u. N. Secretary at and that is the deputy secretary general of mina mohamed she did described the protests going on at the moment as todays secret battle she of course was a nigerian politician before she got her job as deputy secretary general some of the african countries that called for this meeting of also called for a declaration that would set out a commission of inquiry to launch an investigation that i dont think is now going to happen you know how much President Trump does not like other countries investigating whats going on in the u. S. Well his diplomats in geneva have been working very very hard i think assisted in part by some of their allies trying to persuade the africans to remove that part of the declaration the declaration will get voted on on thursday and i believe its still being negotiated but that idea of a commission of inquiry looks like its about to be dropped james thanks very much. The United States is threatening more sanctions against syria and the u. S. Secretary of state might pompei o says it wont stop until president Bashar Al Assad ends the war against his own people the caesar act as its known as now being imposed on the Syrian Government that includes a raft of financial sanctions targeting any person or entity that does business with Bashar Al Assad and those people close to him assets wife asma is on the list among around 30 other people nearly a decade of violence has left syria with a collapsing economy and sanctions are expected to derail president assads postwar recovery plans xina how to reports now from beirut a warning the u. S. May find some images disturbing. Theyre known as caesars photographs named after a military defector who documented torture and killings in Syrian Government jails his testimonies to the u. S. Congress was part of a campaign to hold the regime responsible for what have been described as war crimes it led to the passing and now the implementation of a bill in the u. S. The socalled caesar act in any country in the world theres a Company Individual 83. 00 thats provided acknowledge the Financial Support for the. Military support that. Are all liable for states and under the caesar bill these sanctions go further than existing ones are aimed at preventing International Engagement with Bashar Assads government partnering or fighting on its side will also be punishable the Syrian Government calls the legislation economic terrorism but proponents of the law point to exemptions that minimize any impact on civilians the feeling government is allowed to buy medicine they want but they dont want to spend. 40 here they want to fund their war machine they want to pump the militia human Rights Groups have accused the Syrian Government of using aid to fund its atrocities benefit those loyal to it and punish opponents by confiscating their properties plans to move to a postwar phase in syria will now be difficult. Its already faced with a collapsing economy and currency there is unprecedented poverty some say it hasnt been this vulnerable at any time during the 9 year war. It kind of shuts the door fully closed. In terms of there being any light at the end of the tunnel for the Syrian Regime so i think politically and diplomatically that will have an impact but it adds to the already terrible effects of the syrian economic crisis assad has faced pressure in the past but has never agreed to making political concessions he since the clear victory in the war in syria and while he may have won militarily winning the peace may prove harder the new legislation means the fight for damascus as the seat of assads power and legitimacy has still to be fought then heard there are people that live in jordan of the state department in washington good to talk to again this legislation clearly is crucial are they trying to use some leverage here to get back to the United Nations moderated peace talks. Very much so peter and one of the ways to do that is to go after one spouse in this case its wife she is of course british born into stone simply has connections in that country that could make it easy according to those behind this legislation to hide money being pirated out of the governments coffers for her familys benefit and so she is one of the more than 30 people who have been targeted under this new sanctions regime that was finally put into law in december its also a way of trying to send a message to the assad regime that even as it thinks that its civil war is over that one can stay in power and 2 that it can rebuild the country with International Assistance without facing any impunity and what the sanctions do is set up travel bans and asset seizures for those people in those governments theoretically who try to assist the government in its rebuilding plans rose thank you very much joining us here on the news and one syrian doctor he is an associate professor of pulmonary and Critical Care medicine at the university of illinois in chicago dr sunday all joining us on skype from chicago dr subtle welcome to aljazeera why will these sanctions make any difference when so many sets of different sanctions over the past 9 and a half years have not made any difference. Im not the expert on sanctions im a humanitarian have been in syria up with 14. And 14 times in the past 9 years or so ive seen. Specially in north syria have the theory that it would if i was 9 years because of the bombing because of the siege that was perpetrated by the side of human its allies and whats happening right now in syria and then with i mean a day and crisis is a related to that mismanagement of the economy because of the war that was perpetrated by assad and its allies against the people by bombing hospitals one that 580 hospitals are bombed by the regime and also using chemical weapons more than 380 fires wedding people and their c 2000000 people are put under siege and with on other places weve seen the pictures of children dying because of starvation in month. Because of the assad regime so at least moyes has the right knowledge building about the suffering of the people in sudan which we care about every person who was a part in syria we get about and we should be assisted but the dog about this issue is by the same government that bomb possibilities used chemical weapons bomb schools and markets and start people do that to me looks very sounds very critical and that was then there this seems to be a consensus that says Bashar Al Assad is as of today the weakest hes been since the war began looking at the pictures of whats going on in the country as you are talking to us dr it doesnt look like hes particularly weak. I mean everyone knows that assad has won and won the war by using extreme brutality by bombing civilians by bombing cities markets this rules and hospital using chemical weapons but they caught him he is suffering and thats what in a lot of pressure on the regime and not more important than that he might be the allies yet on lebanon and russia that is supporting the regime militarily and hopefully these new set of sanctions well and prevent them from coming to 20 new ation of the support of the regime lets not forget that these sanctions if these are as ag as target individuals and companies and government that supports what he said there is in the economy military Aviation Energy and construction Everything Else is exempted including i think im sorry Health Education of course you make it in it and medicine we would like to make sure that the civilians in syria would not suffer so continuation of humanitarian aid supporting civilians in every part of syria and them as guys who was i thought yeah almost as a liberal and it is very important for all of us but also Holding People accountable for their crimes against humanity is what important because that was what fully well bush that he seemed towards reconciliation towards Peace Process was an equal in negotiation with the opposition towards releasing the prisoners in the end and the 125 prisoners in the prisons in syria thats the purpose of this these acts to change woefully the behavior of the regime although im not very good for hopeful that this regime that perpetrated crimes against humanity for the past 9 years well change its behavior just because of sanctions in theory these sanctions using the seas act it means that the United States can apply sanctions to russia can i suggest to you that theres probably not very much appetite in washington on the part of the trumpet ministration to do that when it comes to trumps relationship with Vladimir Putin even if mr putin then started saying the right things to the powers that be in damascus. I mean i will agree with you that the probably there will not be a new set of sanctions against russia there are already sanctions against russia or long time that has not changed their behavior would end in syria or ukraine and i agree with that completely but hopefully these says no chance sanctions because it thought of its individual as an entity that are doing terrible things that the Syrian People will somehow add more pressure on iran and other governments and that are trying to open up with the regime whether its your 80 or other governments in that region because in order to have Peace Process in syria we need to have National Reconciliation in order to have National Reconciliation there will be there should be a they dont know for if hes saved and dignified they can of the refugees the area that they came from in order to have that we need to have Transitional Justice and accountability this law hopefully will put some effort towards a transition of justice and accountability in syria ok well have to leave in the subtle good to talk to you sir thank you very much thank you a french court has found the uncle of Bashar Al Assad guilty of International Fraud raef assad was accused of using syrian state funds for personal gain the court in paris sentenced him to 4 years in prison and also ordered the seizure of millions of dollars worth of property in france and also in london. Footage has emerged showing what some are describing as mistreatment of a nurse by a group of Police Officers during a protest in paris on tuesday the woman can be seen here throwing projectiles at the protests on tuesday then in another video she surrounded by a group of french officers using heavy handed tactics on her at the health care demonstrations is in paris. This woman was taking part in a protest. Health workers are protesting for better pay on tuesday in paris she did throw projectiles of the police use admitted that to the police while in custody and later she was then arrested by police but whats interesting is these 2 videos have really sprawled a huge debate here in france because the 1st video that most people saw was the one of the nurse being arrested surrounded by these armed Police Officers a woman big hair with blood on our faces she was going to school to the way and then off to is this other one of her throwing the story to the police but what many campaigners say is did her actions really justify her treatment or seemingly quite rough treatment at the hands of the Police Officers that the police say that they saw. The police say they will look at the video of her trying projectiles that just approves of assault conditions that they have to deal with and that this is this is just a question of reasonable force for somebody who took part in a protest but this debate is really swirling here in france because of course it also comes in the midst of another debate generally a wider one on Police Violence on Police Brutality in france after the recent anti racism protests and then of course we had those yellow vest protests last year. We got 30 minutes of the news for you we cover these stories rising concern in the u. S. That despite more 1000 infections many states anyway reopening.

I have no shortage of hot sunshine across the middle east and i great surprises here a little bit of cloud just around southern parts of the Arabian Peninsula but nothing too much to speak of elsewhere it is pretty much wall to wall Sunshine State temperatures getting well up into the fortys once again what a brisk wind blowing out of iraq fading down into the gulf that way and hopefully easing as we go on into were friday less in the way of lift the dust in the sand as that begins to tie place further north well heres the right got the rain there just around the other that the blacks say spilling across the good parts of the levant gender looking far to dry the northern parts of lebanon could catch a shower or 2 just fading into the north of syria but for the most part it is more in the way of sunshine joining up in the sunshine that we have across Northern Africa up to was a funny little more cloud just rolling in here in north america as we go on through thursday into friday you might just catch a shower or 2 here shows you the showers there cross the heart of africa the seasonal rains doing very nicely nothing a little further north with as we go on into friday some heavy infantry down poles just around sierra leone maybe pushing across into a guinea as well heavy downpours to into southern parts of nigeria with a chance of some localized flooding. If you are in beijing looking out the Pacific Ocean youd see American Warships when miss somehow time is aiming to replace america and around the world well the chinese are not that stupid these guys want to dominate a huge chunk of the planet. This sounds like a preparation for our 1st president George Washington said if you want peace prepare for war in the coming war on china bought one on a jazzy a. One. Good one. Welcome back youre with the aljazeera news hour live from doha your top stories this hour india and china say theyre working to calm tensions after a Deadly Exchange of fire over a border dispute in the himalayas 20 indian soldiers died both sides blaming the other for trespassing into their territory. The u. N. Human Rights Council is holding a rare urgent debate on racism and Police Brutality in the United States following the Police Killing of the unarmed black man george floyd a group of 54 african countries have called for the meeting. The u. S. Has today imposed a raft of sanctions on syria under what it calls the caesar act theyre designed to economically and politically isolate president Bashar Al Assad until he ends the war against his own people. The classic american pancake and syrup brand jemiah is getting a major make over the Parent Company quakers says is dropping the name and the logo depicting a black woman the 130 year old brand acknowledged critics who say the image is based on racial stereotyping a new name and packaging a set to be announced later this year lets talk now to dr reshare richardson shes associate professor of African Studies and Research Center at Cornell University she joins us from ithaca in new york dr richardson welcome to the news hour here on aljazeera in this day and age how can Corporate America still be so tone deaf to the reality of those images. Well i think that to this day a lot of corporate environments remain very monolithic theres not a lot of diversity in some cases and that translates into a lesson for me Decision Making theyre not as inclusive as they could be and so this is ultimately yes an issue about issues of quantum our own work raise your versity because when you have more. Room you have more people contributing to the congress and since its more likely that there are rich choices like the older bursa the are you know what larger culture including in business this american democracy where we also saying though that you know when those people are in those planning meetings those around to sizing our product meetings that theres nobody in the room say whos under 30 years old theres nobody in the room has a person of color and more to the point theres nobody in the room who goes to a supermarket when they finish their work shift to buy the product that they market that they package that they sell right or a lot of times but in this is a been very nationalized so that people dont really even necessarily think of that deeper implications as a lot of times theyre not looking at that handshake but sort of server bottle and possibly think wow this is an internet its black light is an image that suggests a sort of opposition or suggests that you know bright people which is very american thats not what people are really consciously thinking were not relating our other to us but that is in fact what it represents ok if those images are therefore hidden in plain sight does that mean that the damaging aspects of those images are not or are they absorbed by people of color anyway to they just see them but they dont see them they just have to live with it. Well i think that you know everyone is definitely being. Impacted in various ways by those images i mean we can think back to that famous doll experiment dr chen to be clark and his wife dr mamie clark that were attached to the brown versus board of education decision. To desegregate it Public Schools but its there missed with dulce showing that white children consistently associated popular polities with white males negative qualities with black males is so evidence from their research helped to go into repeal segregation or as the south has been black children and so we translate maybe some of those findings into what we see even and the social world every day then we can get a sense of how some of these images can be dr richardson we have to leave our conversation there really good to talk to the thank you so much for coming on thank you for having me. The governor new york has declared the anniversary of the end of slavery in the u. S. A paid holiday for state employees andrew cuomo said the commemoration was especially relevant at this moment in history celebrations and protests are planned across the country to Mark Juneteenth for freedom day this coming friday President Trump was planning to hold a rally in ohio but he says hes reshaped jeweled it out of respect for the holiday the United States is pushing ahead with opening up its economy there despite a surge in coronavirus cases in many parts of the country 6 states arizona florida oklahoma oregon texas and a bottle of all posted recording creases in infections more than 20000 are testing positive per day nationwide or the u. S. Is the worst affected globally the epicenter of the outbreak is currently in south America Brazil is the regional hotspot with nearly 35000. 00 people testing positive on tuesday its on course to pass a 1000000 cases in the coming days more than 45000 have died in the outbreak and mexico also theyre pushing ahead with reopening the economy despite little sign of the outbreak actually slowing down the government says keeping a lockdown in place would be devastating for its poor people john holeman explains now from the capital mexico city. Now whole 5 minutes carry states have gone to orange and a traffic light system here which is meant to gradually reopen the country and on the orange and the traffic light system that means the. Hotels. Restaurants and Sports Centers can all open to hard to capacity so its no small thing and even in mexico city which is always been the focal point of the infection here the government is transitioning towards that despite the fact that theyre not meeting their own criteria they said that they were only going to do that when they got down to 65 percent of hospital bed capacity there around 75 percent but still next monday they say theyre going to go to orange so miscarry suits and seems to be a little bit ignoring where its at the moment with this pandemic and instead focusing on getting the country but to work ok thats the picture from mexico city lets get the picture of new york city our correspondent kristen salumi joins us live with the latest developments at the u. S. With the reopening process christine is also continuing when you walk the streets there kristen does it look like the old normal or the new normal despite the figures are going. Well we are starting to see more people out on the street and reopening is taking place although not as quick as some would like it here whats interesting to note is that the city im sorry the state in total new york state has seen its lowest daily death rate since the beginning of this pandemic back in march with just 16 people reported dying from cove at 19 in the last 24 hour period on record 60000 tests were done in that day and less than one percent of those tests came back positive so Governor Cuomo here in new york is touting the as this as a success and saying that new york state went from being the worst state in the country to being the best state in the country in terms of the race. Of infection and he used that opportunity to call out the trumpet ministration and its reopening strategies saying that you know new york waited to flatten the curve before starting to reopen its businesses and not spend successful because were seeing the reopening starting and the rates are still going down whereas in some 20 states and the country now reopening is plowing ahead the infection rate is rising and he cautioned that that could lead to a 2nd wave not only in those states but that could affect people here in new york Going Forward so i think were seeing the governor here in new york whos also facing reopening pressures starting to be some tension to move things more quickly here in new york he was pushing back against Vice President pants who on tuesday in an editorial accuse the media of sensationalizing this possibility of a 2nd wave he said that that is overblown he pointed to the decline in daily deaths nationally decline in new infections nationally saying states are better prepared now than they were at the beginning of this pandemic but clearly Governor Cuomo pushing back against that narrative as he faces pressure here to reopen more quickly ok kristen thank you very much christensen i mean our correspondent in new york.
