To lose their jobs 45000000 to plunge into poverty as the uns dial warning about the impact of the pandemic across latin america. Our top story several aljazeera staff have just been taken in for Police Questioning in kuala lumpur about a documentary on the laziest response to covert 19 the show looked at the experiences of Migrant Workers during lockdown they say theyre investigating aljazeera for sedition defamation and violation of the countrys communications and multimedia acts in response aljazeera has now released a statement saying it calls on the malaysian authorities to respect Media Freedom and desist from treating its journalists as criminals aljazeera has serious concerns about developments that have occurred in malays years since the broadcast of his one o one east investigative document. 3 locked up in malaysia is locked on july the 3rd the documentary investigated why the qubit 19 pandemic is forcing Migrant Workers into hiding the government put some areas of kuala lumpur with high infection rates under locked up with people tested and some fingerprinted foreigners with valid documents were arrested if captured immigration raids it captured rather as they unfolded in real time malaysian officials on state t. V. Have criticized the report as being inaccurate misleading and unfair aljazeera rejects those claims attempts to interview government ministers and officials during production were declined to 0 staff of sustained online her response since the broadcast including Death Threats when he stays in asia Pacific Current Affairs Program that has won Numerous International awards lets talk again to air as are you from the institute for democracy and Economic Affairs in Kuala Lumpur Air a good for good to stay with us here on out as iraq is there a chance that the team of journalists produces reporters will be detained in the Police Station i mean does the government to the Police Authorities have form on this kind of thing. Well i think im not sure what the north is exactly but. Previous cases as i mentioned previously with. Some active if that had been questioned along the same line so none of them i think have been detained so far theyve been questioned and then released some of them have. Mobile devices on 5th and they let out. So that might happen but whether or not theyll be paid and im not sure what does what is unfolding tell us about the relationship between the Government National media and interNational Media. Well so the malaysian government has always had quite a strong hold on National Media also the more stuff the mainstream. Media Mainstream Media outlets in malaysia are all into by the government media and i realise that they are the country of the state owned media but i think in malaysia its a bicycle any concerning because you know state media also has quite a lot the thin torn to the good news reporting and you know this is this is very well documented. When it comes to interNational Media. You know i think the malaysian authorities have also been. Quite i dont know whats the word for concern already there sometimes theyre a bit dismissive of some International Reports unrelated depending on the content but i think. What we have to all of us here i think is. Probably is the quite serious and im not sure if they have actually done these before in the bus is it perhaps more serious than it would have been if this happened say even 5 or 10 years ago because when it comes to governments wanting to spin or label the media as being Mainstream Media as being fake news we live in a fee breillat miss fear where for example with this particular team the sound is either a Team Personal details just mystically appear online on various platforms people getting anonymous Death Threats and that kind of feeds into another agenda where people are encouraged or coaxed towards a situation old me consumers of news they are kooks towards a situation where they distrust the media therefore the media becomes the enemy the government for the sake of an open debate the government doesnt become the enemy. Well i think you know with with with all these a lot of the Death Threats and backlash that has been faced by by i think generally is the online i do think that im not sure who are behind them i really cannot say but i do think that you know there has been a fueling and and. I would say an extra. Extra net nationalists that you know phobic and most i think we just unfortunate because. As i mentioned earlier malaysia has been quite a Success Story in containing covert 19 but i do think that one of the consequences of of one thing is also that its sort of presented in very stark reality the divide between what we say citizens and noncitizens and the government does present on qubit in that we differentiate between citizens and noncitizens and. And i think its a kind of a 2 way street right so there is increasing. Nationalist. Discourse amongst the public which i think which i think is also fuelled by you know the reaction that the government gives to all these differing points of views and i must add also d that you know this whats happening to all of this you know i dont think it would have you know happened in such in such a say in how the speed at which is happening would have been possible if every thought was an filed a report was and complained to the police right who filed that report and who filed the complaint i dont know if it was a member of the public then you know it will be seeing legal consequences of what you know is right using sort of National Discourse amongst malaysians. And associate ok we have to the. In kuala lumpur thank you very much. All right. The u. S. Supreme court has issued mixed verdicts on demands for Donald Trumps financial records and for now at least the president s tax returns and other documents or remain out of the public eye but it can be examined by prosecutors in new york she had as. President trump displayed mixed emotions following the 2 judgments on the release of his financial records what the rules were you should be showing more again selling everything back down to the lower courts and so i know you get so worked for so quite satisfied you know the point so. This is a political witch fight that we can have you know if you want to do it which are. Just like the model in michigan she was a hoax that one of these Supreme Court rulings werent even close each one had a 7. 00 to 2. 00 majority that included trump appointees justices call such and cavanaugh off the court threw out the president s lawyers arguments that their client has immunity from investigation in both cases chief Justice John Roberts writing that no sugars and not even the president is categorically above the common duty to produce evidence when called upon in a criminal proceeding so authorities in new york are allowed to secure records from the president s Accounting Firm through the courts the citys District Attorney hailed the decision Cyrus Vance Jr said its in keeping with the u. S. A. s founding principles and added the investigation which was delayed for almost a year by this lawsuit will resume guided as always by the ground jury solemn obligation to follow the law and the facts wherever they may lead but new yorks grand jury investigation into potential wrongdoing by trump and the Trump Organization is held in secret so barring a leak the public will not see the records if and when it receives them investigators are looking into whether an alleged hush money deal with 2. 00 women who claim to have had an affair with trump broke the law Congress However could released all charges financial records to the public. If house committees were in the right to see them and that may or may not happen now but the House Speaker welcomed the justices up holding of the principle that congress has the right to subpoena the president the Supreme Court including the president appointees have declared that he is not above the law. The point the path that the plane court has laid out is one that is clearly achievable by us in the lower courts and we will continue to go down that path but the Supreme Court has enacted limitations on congress that it will now have to meet in the lower courts among them to prove that any information that is requested would have a direct impact on legislation always hanging over the issue of Donald Trumps tax records are statements like this dating back to before the 2016 election im clean and when i release my Financial Statements my decision sometime prior to election it will only show one thing that i am much richer than people even thought yet the president has fought their release ever since so there is some comfort to be had for the president Donald Trumps arguments regarding president ial immunity did not win but these rulings will not result in the release of Donald Trumps closely held financial records before novembers elections. Washington earlier we spoke to bruce fein mr fein is a former u. S. Deputy attorney general he says the rulings are similar to other rulings made decades ago. I was here 40 years ago the Supreme Court said precisely the same thing in the nixon tapes case when the president was forced to reveal 62 tapes of the oval office of his having conversations with john dean and others the Supreme Court also had held with regard to the presidency of William Jefferson clinton he had to respond to document requests subpoenas with regard to the pollen jones civil lawsuit and indeed the house of representatives itself as far back as 1974 and i was involved voted an article of impeachment as article 3 against president nixon for what defying a congressional subpoena that he was not above the law so this is not breaking new ground one of the things that nancy pelosi said that i think is quite misconceived is the idea that continuing on in the lower courts that this is going to result in a victory wrong the congress has a life span of 2 years every subpoena expires at the end of the issuing congress which means in this case january of 2021 this subpoena there were 3 or 4 against President Trump rosa counts are all going to expire which means that you all are back at square one theres no way given the slowness of Court Proceedings that this case is going to meander back from the lower courts and get a decision out of the u. S. Supreme court by january of 2021 which means trump is home free you have to start again a new subpoena litigation. The u. S. Supreme court has ruled a big area of the state of oklahoma will remain a native american reservation it means that state prosecutors do not have the authority to pursue criminal cases against native american defendants in the area the 5 to 4 decision is one of the most important legal victories for indigenous americans in decades. A u. S. Judge has asked an Appeals Court to reconsider its dismissal of the criminal case against Donald Trumps former National Security advisor Michael Flynn had pleaded guilty to lying to the f. B. I. In the investigation into russian interference allegations in the 2016 president ial election in the states but a Court Ordered the criminal case against him to be dismissed last month still to come here on aljazeera argentinians choose protests over celebrations on the Independence Day. Hello weve had a bit of a reduction in the rain over japan its not the end of it by any means but as the rain on this system that goes back to china tends to pulse you might get a couple of days off the next pulse will get some rain to cure then just avoid honshu as it catches south koreas developing into a proper circulation which tends to take the heavy rain with it most of it over the water youll notice the chinese end is moving northward through all hands so theyll be all flooding taking place here then it goes north of the yangtze but yanks itself is really hit quite high levels in many places jumping south and weve got quite a mess of showers developing around borneo maybe around the central philippines bit of a gap to the east of that so actually west park is not as wet as it was and if you go further west again sumatra isnt looking particular turn this is the focus now coaching in all places to just to the east and to the north and this tended to march in this general direction so sort of ways he has got a wet saturday youll notice that sigurd. Kuala lumpur are in the shower but not as much as they were a few days ago. We just about see the back of the rain now for good rock but this circulation cloud is quite interesting i see no development yet but it brings rain with it somewhere but the big showers focus that moment are in the northeast of india and the pole. Join our Global Community because the price is just slapped is the phrase blessing upon my sin upon my soul humans have evolved Global Health keeping you up to date is why self or situation where we have a human rights prices that persist beyond the Health Crisis answering your questions is a dialogue just nothing we are now approaching a crossroads this is an opportunity that we must not miss the stream on aljazeera. Welcome back lets just have a quick look through our top stories for you several aljazeera staff are now arrive for Police Questioning in kuala lumpur about a documentary on melissas response to cope at 19 the shown up to the experiences of Migrant Workers during Lockdown Police say theyre investigating the court for sedition defamation and violation of the countrys communications and multimedia act.

The United Arab Emirates is said to be holding up a deal with gulf states that could end the 3 year long blockade against cattle thats according to reports on the fox news website today practical haim reports from washington. We need to sort of take a step back and look at where the spirit being reported in the fox news website not on fox news on air we havent seen it on air yet and again we know that the channel that the president likes to watch we have seen no evidence that the president likes to read the website and again it has been picked up by anyone else and we have not been able to independently confirm this but what this article is saying and it doesnt give any sort of indication where the sources are coming from which is slightly unusual but it doesnt name anyone but it says that for the last 2 months somehow if there were secret negotiations between saudi arabia officials from saudi arabia qatar the u. A. E. And the u. S. Acting as a mediator that it 5 would be surprising if true because these are thats a lot of different people at the table and theres been no even whisper that there were negotiations of any kind taking place much less among high ranking officials from these 4 countries the article says that a potential deal was in their words quote at hand and that the u. A. E. Walked away and tried to pressure saudi arabia to do the same thing again theyre saying that just for purpose perspective this is not anything weve even heard is on the radar lately from the secretary of defense secretary of state the white much less the white house dealing with a coronavirus pandemic a downturn in the economy falling poll numbers and now the Supreme Court decision so theres been no indication no signals that this is high up on 0 the priority list giorgio is c. E. O. Of gulf state and on the ticks and geopolitical Risk Consultancy firm focusing on the Arabian Peninsula he says the u. A. E. Is less likely to change its position than the other countries involved here. Among the countries blockading qatar it is the u. A. E. That is most rigid in its position against dough are where as the saudis have viewed the alleged qatari threat as more of a strategic issue for i would be this is really very much about ideology and ultimately this agenda of blockading qatar came from abu dhabi and i think out of all of the gulf countries putting pressure on cots are the u. A. E. Will be the last one to decide to ease that pressure so it definitely makes sense that he would use its leverage over riyadh to block any u. S. Backed plan aimed at bringing the g. C. C. Countries back together the Trump Administration is seen this arabian feud is a big threat to u. S. Interests in the sense that washington would like to have all of the g. C. C. Member states united against the Islamic Republic of iran and this issue has definitely been an irritant for the administration but you know i the defacto ruler of the u. A. E. Crown Prince Mohammed bin zayed whatever people may think about his policies we can all agree that hes no pushover and hes a very strategic thinker when it comes to dealing with Regional International issues. Argentina seeing the effects of economic pressure people held antigovernment demonstrations in the capital some with on behalf of angry foam as across the country but many more all unhappy with the coronavirus long time is to raise about.
