Spent the 1st 4 months in isolation staying at home social distancing staying away from loved ones but experts see that might all be for nothing if the country doesnt get a grip on the new cases and without a vaccine theres no plan b. I think were going to see a reversion to the types of stay at home policies that we had in place in many states previously ology is going to be difficult from an economic you know or a message to reach as well as social mental hell hell. On it since ration no go you know were acting like we have to know her and her and then you know if theres a bright spot its that the death rate is not increasing even with the increased number of cases but theres no coordinated National Strategy for getting on top of this wave the virus is not out of control yet but its close very close in texas theyre planning for the days ahead because sure they have enough beds enough equipment and enough strength to get through whats to come out al jazeera iran has recorded its highest single day jump in coronavirus deaths yet with 200 people dying the countrys Health Minister blamed the rise on iranians not following struction is saying no like you said people need to take the pandemic seriously and warn that iran is facing a peak iran has reported almost 12000 coronavirus deaths in total and theyve been more than 245000 cases are said betas in tehran it says the capital is causing the most concern. Hospital admissions of up but thats to be expected but whats worrying for the government is that one 3rd of those new hospital admissions lie here in the capital to run this city is the most populated city in the country but its also the Financial Hub so that could be very serious and its not only about the fact that 200 people have died in the last day but its a huge jump from the last highest figure that we had which was 164. 00 just a few days ago now the Health Minister has said that the country is now experienced experiencing its peak but we thought that peak was in mid march a month before the lockdown restrictions were eased that the Health Minister peered on state t. V. Life he seemed very upset and subdued before he announced those latest figures but he said that hes warnings were taken seriously and the country is paying a huge price he said at the start of the pandemic around 80 percent of people were tearing to social distancing and other guidelines and now thats down to about 10 percent its a very worrying for the government the fact that infections have gone up and the death rate has also gone up well it was the government itself that eased those lockdown restrictions that opened up cities alone people to travel around the country government offices were open to people went back to work businesses were reopened another government has said that face masks are mandatory all gold is no penalty for not wearing one theyve been running campaigns on state t. V. Saying that corona virus is no joke and encouraging people to wear a mask but there is the sense of kroner fatigue now this virus has been in the country for 4 months and to give an example of that the Health Ministry spokeswoman said that in one city alone in a matter of days there were 50 wedding ceremonies and they saw an increase of infections after that.

Drone strike that killed top iranian general kasim silly money in january was illegal thats the conclusion of the un special rapporteur on extrajudicial killings and yes keller maher says the assassination Near Baghdad International Airport went against the u. N. Charter the white house said the attack on solely money was carried out in the direction of u. S. President donald trump and was aimed at deterring future attacks and educate being planned by iran our diplomatic editor james bays has more from the united nations. Well its a damning report from Agnes Kalamata who is the special ruppert ters who 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 are 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 gen saddam on the iranian strategic experts and commander which they said it was a case of selfdefense because of the possibility of imminent strikes but in her report maher 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. 2 people have been killed in an explosion which ripped through a factory south of irans capital 3 people were also injured in the blast in bakhash are a local official says it was caused by workers who mishandled oxygen tanks explosion was so powerful it damaged nearby buildings is the 5th incident of its kind in iran in less than 2 weeks including a fire at the netizens nuclear facility.

Says it will resume selling weapons to saudi arabia what in a year after it was forced to stop because of alleged war crimes in yemen saudi forces are accused of deliberately targeting civilians in their campaign against to see rebels the British Government says the saudis have now agreed to comply with International Law this just a day after the u. K. Impose sanctions on 20 saudis over the murder of journalist. Charlie rangel has this update from london over a year ago a British Court ordered the u. K. To stop a new licenses of arms sales to saudi and to review the decisions surrounding preexisting ones that review is now concluded its taken over a year and the government is saying while there were possible breaches of International Humanitarian law these were exceptions and not a pattern its not clear what methodology they used it certainly contradicts that u. N. Panel of experts who found widespread possible war crimes in the conflict between saudi and yemen and its not clear how many isolated incidents it would take to constitute a pattern but the u. K. Has concluded that the saudi government is demonstrating a commitment to comply with International Humanitarian law and i quote there is therefore no clear risk that arms and military equipment exported to saudi might be used in serious contraventions of International Humanitarian law so what this means that the government is now going to be processing that backlog of orders from saudia includes a multimillion dollar deal for typhoon fighter jets and earlier i spoke to the campaign against arms trade who really spearheaded the original case against the government they said they are baffled by this decision theyve theyve described it as morally bankrupt and reprehensible they said that their lawyers and im going to be looking into ways to challenge it.

Well mary trump the president s niece has made some scathing criticisms of donald trump accusing the president of being a socio path and that this has much to do with his upbringing particularly in the hands of his father that it was a toxic family dynamic that created the donald trump that we know today now it is important to know that mary 6 trump the president s niece her father did die of alcohol related related diseases that he was depressed and the president for his part speaks very fondly about his brother but what makes some of her criticisms particularly credible given the fact that you know families do have squabbles is the fact that as you mentioned shes a clinical psychologist so she feels particularly well suited to tell this story she says that shes releasing this both because she could no longer remain silent she claims that donald trump destroyed her family but she does not want him to destroy her country so shes putting this out in advance of the u. S. Election now in this comes at a particularly difficult time for the u. S. President because of course this is the latest in a sort of tell all book to be released weve also had just weeks ago the tell all that was also critical of the president from the former National Security advisor john bolton and we should add to that that this is a difficult time for a president struggling to deal with corona virus and also of course the poll numbers that show him lagging in the polls next to the contender for President Joe Biden the democratic president ial nominee and so on no specifics of this particular book what to reaction has there been from the white house. Will they actually the white house didnt want to talk about it they said look at there has been a matter of a legal attempt to try and stop this publication we certainly dont want to topple thats under way but that legal attempt to block this books release will that was unsuccessful and since then weve had the counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway talking about this. Saying that you know its notable well mary trump may be a clinical psychologist donald trump is not her patient he is her uncle and really tried to dismiss this as family squabbles also criticizing the books credibility as of the claims that made saying that this hasnt fact nobody said under oath and Family Matters are Family Matters came to how to thank you very much indeed.
