Activists joshua one appears in court accused of organizing an illegal protest last year. So iran is now admitting that thursdays far its Natanz Nuclear facility caused significant damage its Atomic EnergyOrganization Says the damage could slow development of centrifuges used to enrich uranium to iran says its planning to update the facility with more advanced equipment then but ravi has more. What exactly happened at the Natanz Nuclear facility last week its a question people in iran and around the world have been asking since a fire was reported at irans main uranium enrichment facility on thursday a fire incident like this at the centerpiece of the countrys Nuclear Program is easily a cause for global concern but iranian leaders downplay the incident latest satellite imagery however seems to show the scale of the damage whatever the cause is bigger than initial reports seemed to suggest on sunday the spokesman of the Atomic Energy organization of iran confirmed the seriousness of the matter speaking to state news he said enrichment activities continue but the damage was significant enough to slow some work at the facility this incident may create delays in the Medium Term Plan for the development and production of advanced machines god willing we will compensate in such a way that the capacities at the site will be greater than before the Natanz Nuclear plant has been the target of Cyber Attacks in the past at the time iran blamed various western nations and israel iranian investigators say they know what caused the latest incident but cannot release details due to security concerns but military leaders have promised to retaliate if sabotage is confirmed. The incident at natanz happened just days after another explosion at a military base where iran develops missiles on june 26th a gas tank explosion at the Parchin Military complex northeast of the capital caused a fireball so big some to her own residents could see it from their homes on june 30th a fire and explosion at a Medical Clinic in north to her own killed 19 people. On saturday a fire broke out at a power station in the western city of laws causing partial outages on the same dale chlorine gas leak at a petrochemical plant on the gulf coast injured 70 people these were likely just industrial accidents perhaps triggered by rising summer temperatures but the fire at the Natanz Nuclear complex happened in the backdrop of serious incidents that have rattled the country in recent weeks. Well he is a journalist and senior fellow who had the center for middle east trustee strategic studies and he says the government will be considering whether outside forces are responsible. There can be possibilities i think the likelihood of an act of sabotage whether its from in science or outside can be more than that but for israel as i think is really a few shows for the past as well as so the officials they have been talking about bringing the conflict inside iran in order to speak here had been someone in the past i think physically they have been unable to bring that conflict inside iran and borders but by making these comments or speculations they somehow want to psychology bring that company to the country iran has been under economic pressure and there have been relatively political problems in the country but in these times people they have been arguing that at least we have security in the country and i think by these a speculation or measures they want to undermine this element and distilling among the euro and their people in order to bring pressure from the public toward the elite in the country but irans foreign minister has been heckled by members of parliament and call them life or serious speech outlining the president s foreign and economic policies. Yes it was Briefing Parliament and defending the government he was interrupted several times 200. 00 m. P. s have also table to motion to question president Hassan Rouhani as saying his policies have led to an economic crisis. And now to the surging numbers of covert 1000 infections worldwide with nearly 11 and a half 1000000 people not confirmed to have had or to have the virus india has overtaken russia to become the 3rd worst hit country in the world is reporting that 25000 new cases every day in australia the border between its 2 most populous states is due to close on tuesday theres been a rise in coronavirus cases inventory prompting the decision to shut the border with New South Wales indefinitely. We have done mispriced on Health Advice and especially given the fact that when our nation had those high number of cases back in february and march the vast majority of those cases were from either say strapless all the direct contacts what is happening in victoria is very different which is why they tend to take east necessary states we would have taken the stand on this we absolutely had to and latin america now accounts for about oh. Coronavirus related deaths cases that have tripled in just a month with brazil and mexico the worst affected nations ok lets go straightaway to new delhi Elizabeth Cohen i was at the cutup mean when you mints in the capital and you dont as i say. India the 3rd worst hit country globally now how is it out on the streets and at the tourist sites how are people managing and how they cope. Heinecke to give you an idea where outside delhi is most famous tower the 12th century could have been us its one of the most visited 2 ascites in the country but security guards have told us that in the 8 hours that its been open since 6 oclock in the morning theyve had about 50 people come through and that gives you an idea people on to really going out for non essential things and thats because the number of cases continue to rise every other day we have the single highest day rise we had that on sunday with nearly 25000 cases 425 deaths and as you mentioned india has surpassed china to be the 3rd worst affected country so the government is trying to deal with that by continuing to expand testing it said that its now tested 10000000 people across the country so far its doing about 300000 tests a day and as well as that the worst hit states are also trying to expand to sow the seeds to deal with the number of cases we had delhis chief minister hold a News Conference a short while ago and he was positive about the situation despite the fact that the capital regions cases are going up to 100000 because he said that only a good all of the Regions Hospital beds 5000 apparently in use that most people are becoming ok that they are recovering at home but having said that he pled with those who recovered to donate plasma because delhi maharashtra and other states are really pushing for people to do that and for plasma therapy to be used on current patients the old states have different programs during the day and i guess well have to react differently. Exactly and thats why you see some states going into lockdown as other others ease in lockdown restrictions the capital of the Southern State of quetta let it went on the putin has gone into a full complete lockdown in fact it seem closed most roads going in and out of this. From today for a week thats despite the fact that carol is the stays in india that has dealt with the outbreak. In the best possible way it has a relatively low number of deaths and cases weve also got the eastern city of quote which is said that from today its no longer accepting flights from the 66 worst hit cities the Northeastern State of awesome is in a lockdown whereas chennai the Southern City of chennai in 3 neighboring districts which went into a full lockdown 2 weeks ago as such starting to ease restrictions and the states a really trying to find that balance between trying to contain the spread of the virus but also not letting the economy collapse like it did during the National Lockdown when hundreds of millions of daily wage in is lost their jobs and thats why you hear nothing from the Central Government anymore they have no appetite about taking that step and posing that kind of a lockdown on a national level. Our lives thanks very much indeed thats a picture from new delhi thanks a lot. One of the worlds most visited museums is opening its doors again after the Pandemic Forces close the loop from paris with the mona lisa was last april in mid march to write to say the 16 week closure has cost the museum about 45000000. 00 and lost ticket sales during peak tourist season the museum draws up to 50000. 00 visitors a day but managers expect those numbers to drop drastically with tourism now at a standstill.

People are helpless they see their lives entering the hospital 1520 days before and never see them again until they meet us in the closed coffin of. Columbias reopening of important sectors of the economy in june following a strict quarantine seems to be responsible for a sharp rise in hospitalizations. Intensive care units are now 80 percent full in the National Government but new ventilators to increase availability but a lack of trained doctors means not all of them can be used at the same time and now authorities are worried by a sharp surge along colombias caribbean coast soldiers and police in full protective gear or on the streets of the port city of battling to enforce quarantine measures. The atlantic a province has registered almost double the number of deaths compared to with only one 3rd of the population. Authorities say here people have been more openly flouting social distancing rules holding parties in other gatherings and doctors fear some could be the 1000 related deaths are not being reported. Many patients dying at home or arriving at the hospital dead are not being included in the statistics but from feedback from families in clinics it is clear that the person died of corona virus and we are not reporting it. The sharp turning colombia still pales in comparison with some neighboring countries like brazil it is very worrisome especially since Health Authorities say were still weeks away from reaching the peak of infections and the government is excluding the return to stricter measures saying its time to revive the countrys battered economy leaving much of the responsibility in the hands of people wearing face masks and maintaining social distance a lesson that m.

In the 1st place so tell us more about why he scaled this. Well this time around. Because. I think campaigning when people vote in the paid today on the 23rd. Was sworn in as president but its a week ago. And things of the government trying to keep people safe they say about it blame. It on people. About the people or 2000 of them they say they blamed it on the floor of the pizza place that you can do enough to and for people from their supporters say that it wasnt taking his fault they say that he tried to force a nationwide.

Well the urgent search for effective treatment to combat corona virus is going on around the world and in the United Kingdom some scientists have turned to a herd of llamas to provide a very small and the boy and he antibodies which they believe could neutralize the virus as more reading in southern england. What does a herd of llamas have to do with covert 19 its not the start of a joke but it could be the route to a cure bonnie jones looks after the animals welfare have suddenly we have toddy we have spots we have our feet. And meet the star of this particular show fifi is the 1st on the universitys film that weve used in the research. And other species such as camels and alpacas produce specialized small antibodies different to what you and i produce so what we do is we introduce a dead or small. Protein into the llamas and they produce a natural body response so their small antibodies that bind on to the proteins that we introduce these pictures from a similar trial with alpacas in germany showed nobodys binding with the corona virus protein spike the coded virus is kind of a round virus thats got lots of spikes on it and these spikes we think are the things that latch onto our cells and in fact us so the idea is maybe if we produce a nano body that combined onto those spikes or lots of those spikes we can prevent the virus from attaching to our cells and in that way prevent infections so the fight against the corona virus has come to this lumbers in an English Field its not as unlikely as you might think the 1st llama derived drug was produced last year for the treatment of a real blood disease and thats triggered real optimism about similar treatments for a range of cancers for alzheimers and dementia and also now of course for coated 90. The daily pace of llama life is slow and so to the pace of Scientific Research but already there are promising results with the possibility of human trials in a year using lama nobodys to neutralize the coronavirus jonah hole aljazeera reading.

Its harvest time but not as we know it these very modern farm hands are bringing in the crops from a vertical farm plants growing from the walls instead of the ground no tractors required just a pair of scissors and Artificial Intelligence sensors that feed information on factors like speed of growth and nutrition content into a central database so that on this farm the computer is in charge. The farm that youre seeing here everything is basically connected so all the part of meters that we have that have an influence on the growth of a plan for controlling that were building are basically food brain to control everything by help of Artificial Intelligence and recreate the perth or. The mint basil kale and rocket to get everything they could ever desire light water humidity temperature tailored to their individual needs and without the Risky Business of growing out in Nature Anyone inside the farm has to wear a protective suit like this to stop bacteria coming in from outside it also means they dont need pesticides so you can eat the produce straight off the wall. They taste better than the average supermarket salads and theyre already being sold in local stores and restaurants and stock.
