A curfew and lockdowns over their own stock to its deadliest day of the pandemic. Also a warning that texas will get as bad as new york as covert cases keep surging in several u. S. States. And aid to the u. N. Says will save millions of lives in syria is vetoed by russia and china. Welcome to the program the president who repeatedly downplayed corona virus is now in quarantine at his home in brazil after testing positive desirable so narrow has cancelled his show jewel for the next few days but insists hes still in good health hes one of nearly 1700000 people infected in brazil the 2nd worst affected country in the world a lot in america editor lucy in newburgh reports i know World Leaders have defied colin. 19 like brazils jade. For months the president tempted fate and turned to doctors he scorned calls to respect social distancing he seemed to relish defying even his own advisors only as pressing the flesh and rarely using a face mask many members of his cabinet had become infected even his wifes grandmother some joked hed made a pact with the devil until what was probably the inevitable happened book award for author of youre a cutie my fil the west side. Everybody knew that sooner or later current of our sort of reach an important part of population a lot of people like me for example if i would not have done the test i would not know about a result that was positive yes it was positive. So far bosso not has admitted to having a feeder and body aches but continues to brush off the severity of an illness he once described as a little true even taking off his face mask after testing positive. For the bureaucratic ok so you can see my face who wants to see my face im fine calm thank god. Thanks that i was that prayed for me was supporting me im fine thank god. Its not just bill some had his health but his political reputation thats at stake hes waged war against lockdowns saying theyre more harmful than the illness. Hes clashed with governors who ordered businesses closed and the Supreme Court which recently felt compelled to order the president to wear a face mask or pay a steep fine just taking his cue from donald trump also not or has threatened to withdraw from the w. H. O. And has ordered the Brazils Health system distribute the anti malaria drug hydroxide chloroquine despite warnings that its not safe or proven to be effective through treating coronavirus hes in fact using it now himself. Nevertheless wishes him away. Well im a speedy and full recovery from from this disease other leaders around the world have of have had similar experiences and i think it brings home cross all the the reality of this fires that will likely depend on how president paul soon i dont fence on whether hell become seriously ill as was a british Prime MinisterBoris Johnson or whether hell be back at work in a week or 2 telling everyone i told him so. All this despite the more than 65000 positions who have lost their lives so far so called little to no. You see in human aljazeera. Time Michael Kinkel hes an associate professor at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio De Janeiro he says illness could work in his favor this is not a man of deep insights i think and also it also true its also extraordinary convenient for him in some ways indeed if it stays our late course right hell be able to continue on his narrative that its just a flu and can be cured easily he was also scheduled to be deposed by the federal police on its allegations of. The new influence taking next week so the timing is not known and one stays late course the time its not altogether bad if it stays within these sort of 85 percent that are the life forces and it will likely strengthen those who are. Who are doubting the severity of the outbreak in the title it may actually end up lowering the end even to cutting into your getting to be distancing measures here which isnt likely to begin weve seen this kind of catastrophic response that the that the country is had has to deal with a total lack of leadership from the federal represent one had every possibility of having an absolutely model response to this and make we have a very strong public Health System we have highly trained doctors we have good i. C. U. Density we have what you know experience with pandemics treatment of hiv and aids here is actually quite quite advanced so you know its a sign of failure of leadership in the federal level that this is turned out when it has angry crowds of trying to Storm Services parliament after the announcement of return to tough coronavirus restrictions on the right police force upon thousands of protesters many calling for president alexander view change to resign and hes put a weekend curfew back in place after serving as worst day of the pandemic with 13 deaths rechange lifted restrictions in the weeks before his win in last months elections including allowing crowds back to sporting events elaine and do such as following the clashes around parliament which went all into the early morning. The president alexander who teach announced some new measures because of the quote on a virus he said that during the weekend belgrade will be locked down and maybe not only belgrade but the entire serbia because the situation would put on a virus is a very bad and the worst is here in belgrade there we have more than 4000 people in the hospitals just today 13 people died over the coronavirus this is the highest number in one day so what happened today is that people were very angry of this situation and we did this kind of measure as to why because serbia was already has already been in a state of emergency before and then dorothy said its ok now things are going better lets have an election so we had the parliamentary elections and the day after numbers started to increase and today the situation is even worse than before so people are angry. They think that the money should be invested in hospitals and not in the election and this is what happened tonight it seems like the situation is a little bit quieter now but tomorrow maybe well see the same picture again. Spittles in several u. S. States say theyre intensive care units are reaching capacity as crown of ours cases continue to jump but the number of people whove died has surpassed 130000 infections have been surging in states which push to reopen early including texas and florida but the president wont schools to reopen after the summer break we want to do is we want to get our schools open we want to get them open quickly beautifully in the fall and the you know this is a disease its a horrible disease but young people do extraordinarily well. 2 weeks were probably going to end up being what new york was 2 months ago i think thats whats going to happen and that is going to happen particularly because we had the 4th of july. Holiday i mean lot of people did not listen a lot of people went out and more likely than not were going to see those patients come into the hospital over the next 2 weeks and the u. S. Has begun the formal process of withdrawing from the World Health Organization the Trump Administration has officially notified the United Nations and coal rest but it will take a year to complete the process President Trump accuses the agency of mishandling the cave in 1000. 00 outbreak and being a puppet of china ashley pratt is a political commentator and a board member of the public and women for progress she says its another reckless decision by President Trump which will put americans at risk. For him it will just stand to be a talking point in his campaign you know this whole entire time hes blaming the virus on other countries and not taking responsibility for the disastrous effects but his response from his own administration is that here there are states that opened way too early and a lot of those states are states with republican governors who felt political pressure from this president and this administration to reopen and as a result their cases are surging in spiking in those states and now theyre faced with a tough decision to shut down their states again facing future Economic Impacts as a result places a huge void in the whos membership by not having the u. S. At the table and that really is what the problem is here its going to affect Clinical Trials that will affect future vaccines it will affect responses to emerging outbreaks and thats really where americans are now being put at risk because of a reckless decision by the president so i do think who you know is at a situation right now where theyre going to realize that the United States membership was a crucial one and weve always been looked to as a leader im not sure that theres leadership right now it seems to be a large vacuum there when it comes to the current officeholder at 1600. 00 pennsylvania avenue but at the same time i do think because this will take up to a year hopefully a responsible decision is made but this again does put americans at risk because of the fact that we wont be information sharing with other countries that are working to develop vaccines and host Clinical Trials to really try to find innovations and solutions to fight these deadly diseases. Well still ahead here on aljazeera britain says it will resume arms sales to saudi arabia despite worries about how they could be used in yemen.

To stop 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 door 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 is the governments now going to be processing that backlog of orders from saudi it 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 and they said that their lawyers are now going to be looking into ways to challenge it a group of we can muslims living in exile is accusing china of committing genocide and calling on the International Criminal court to investigate theyve submitted evidence alleging Rights Violations that implicate more than 30 senior chinese officials including president xi jinping Rights Groups a law that a 1000000 we can muslims are held in prison terms of being punished and brainwashed china denies this and doesnt recognize the i.
