A stays home policies and limit the spread of the coronavirus. Plus more storms for constant the south west as the death toll there hits 50 many still missing. Now the un special rapporteur on extrajudicial killings says the u. S. Drone strike that killed a top iranian general and january was illegal on the a column od says cousin killing in baghdad went against the u. N. Charter the white house has said the attack on ceremony was carried out to deter imminent attacks against u. S. Interests well lets get more on this now with out to her magic as james space who is at the u. N. For us james calamos report clearly says the u. S. Has provided no evidence an imminent attack was being prepared what are the implications here. Well its a damning report from Agnes Kalamata who is the special rapporteur as you say on extrajudicial killings worth explaining what that is its an independent expert who is appointed by the Human Rights Council and these reports where she investigates cases of possible extradition killing then reported back to the u. N. Human Rights Council remember that the u. N. Human Rights Council is not a u. N. Body that the trumpet ministration already looks favorably on they pulled out of the un Human Rights Council in 2018 and so i suspect if there is going to be a response from the trumpet ministration it will be an angry response the u. S. Position they say theyve made very clear in a letter they submitted to the Security Council 5 days after the killing of general sort of mani the iranian strategic expert and commander which they said it was a case of selfdefense because of the possibility of imminent strikes but in her report. Says that there is no evidence that he was planning an imminent attack against u. S. Interests so she says therefore on the basis of the information provided by the u. S. And of course she doesnt have access to any classified intelligence information she believes this was a breach of the u. N. Charter a breach of International Law james just what wealth did these comments carry and what action could be taken from home. Well its a very strong and very clear report but what archon it will go to the un Human Rights Council they will read the report and decide what else they can do she has put forward recommendations and most of her recommendations are going to be on this specific case in talking about the whole issue of the use of drones Drone Technology transferring drones from one country to another shes saying that in cases like this the u. N. Secretary general who she does not report to should come up with his own inquiry i think that its very unlikely that the u. N. Will launch an inquiry into this case or cases of this sort but clearly its a question were going to be asking the u. N. In the coming hours diplomatic editor james bay is there for us at the u. N. Thanks very much for that james now the u. N. Also says a string of air strikes carried out by the Syrian Government and Russian Forces in the amount to war crimes the report identified 52 socalled emblematic attacks between november and june and says syria and its russian ally have killed hundreds of people and force nearly a 1000000 to flee that report also accuse the.

S. Congress unanimously we should point out imposing sanctions on chinese banks as well as individuals over concerns about the law the National Security law passed in hong kong but this is just one of several actions that is being considered particularly by the troubled ministration we should point out on that legislation u. S. President has 10 days to side has not yet signed it were not quite sure why but it is again part of a number of punitive actions being considered including potentially revoking the visas of chinese officials in the United States the u.

Living and working on both sides of the border the most concerning part for authorities is that very few of the new corona virus cases have been linked to other known infections making it near impossible to monitor and leaving premier Daniel Andrews with what he says was no choice but to bring back the tough measures even stricter measures are being enforced on 3000 residents in nonpublic housing towers in no been many from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds that our neighbor a is one of them she says they feel excluded and thinks the Huge Police Presence below is unnecessary and must be quiet and i think its time for her in the past state had some difficulties with the police and racial. d and its like its being ultra left for some of the young people are safe because.

Viruses in the box and my parents live in the caribbean any testing done in my block so we just basically sitting ducks im a Community Advocate but i have so basically individually i having conversations with people on the ground who are responsible for the lockdown but i can only speak for the rest of the community they dont have those connections and theyre kunkel someone and i know that they havent spoken to anyone no one has given them a letter on no one has communicated in any way to them about where to go from now the Police Always be there to keep the law and could keep the order but i think the community was taken aback when we saw the number of Police Officers who were who were told to come to the towers and to put us in lockdown we as a community were expecting that we will see the frontline workers Like Health Care workers Mental Health workers social workers we want them to be the best people to come into this community i mean to the police and to obviously very probably get a Police Training for us and thats always treated im some trauma a lot of the older members of the Community Come from war torn countries and usually i see the police as a sign of oppression. You know and health risks on a run has announced its highest single day death toll since the start of the 1000. 00 albums kovan 1000. 00 out break there in february the Health Ministry says more than 200 people died in the past 24 hours and just last week iran started to reimpose some restrictions after a new sat in cases. Well now brazils president is awaiting the results of his craven 1000 test after again being checked for the virus after complaining a fever emerged from a Military Hospital wearing a mask hes been widely criticized for refusing to wear one in public as well as ignoring social distancing rules and that israels Public Health chief has resigned as the nation battles a recent surge in infections there in a Facebook Post siegel sedates he warns that initial successes and handling the outbreak have now moved towards a dangerous place so that he added the pandemic was 1st met with Ethical Leadership but now lacks or thorazine israel has more than 1000. 00 cases and over 300. 00 session fatalities our correspondent harry force that is in west recently with this update. She was very much front and center of the response very publicly she was there in many of the televised briefings as the director of Public Health in the israeli Health Ministry and now for her to come out with these kind of comments is pretty explosive as i say she she said that the good work that had been done early had vanished following the quick and wide reopening of the economy saying it was wider and more hasty than another any other western country and she talked about severe denial by Decision Makers saying that he with north already were reacting belatedly to reality and that her own advice and opinions recently had been ignored so she couldnt effectively a system the response and saying that what was being done now was too little and too late now shes not a an uncontroversial figure shes someone who was very much at the heart of trying to close down the country as fast and extensively as possible in the early phases but she also had some criticism about her reluctance to widen the criteria for testing and have more broadening of testing she reportedly saw that as unnecessary at the time there was a report as well last month and one of the newspapers here its in which her management style was criticized but nonetheless this is an extremely senior figure at the heart of this Pandemic Response who is coming out with extremely strong criticism of the governments response. Well the hundreds of thousands of International Students studying in the u. S.

S. Colleges. Law professor at Rutgers University she expects major pushback against the trumpet ministrations move. Hes clearly continuing and immigration agenda as in a phobic immigration agenda which is to keep as many people that are from the global south and the global east out of the United States whether its through the muslim band whether its through immigrant work visas and now in her student visas the immigrants that on him into student visas but essentially they he wants to keep most of these students out because its no coincidence that 33 percent almost 34 percent now the 1100000. 00 rational streams are from china 18 percent are from india 5 percent from saudi arabia another 5 percent from south korea and then the rest are from various countries again most of which are from the east the middle east or the or latin america and Central America so i think the best means to challenge this is going to come from me American Association of educators which is effectively the association of all the universities because they are the biggest losers financially while the students are the biggest losers both financially educationally and and personally so i anticipate that theres going to be a major pushback on this and it will be interesting to see how the congress is get involved because maybe pressured a legislator around it to tie the president s hands or it may be the judges that have to intervene again through some kind of claim that this is a violation of of Due Process Rights or some other constitutional right.
