Ands about developments that have occurred in malaysia since the broadcasting of its water one east negative investigative documentary locked up in the lasers locked down on july the 3rd the documentary investigated why the covert 900 pandemic is forcing Migrant Workers into hiding the government put some areas of kuala lumpur with high infection rates on the long down with people tested and some fingerprinted foreigners without valid documents were arrested malaysian officials and state television have criticised the report is being inaccurate misleading and unfair aljazeera as attempts to interview government ministers and officials during the production were declined staff have experienced sustained Online Harassment since the broadcast one of one east is an asia Pacific CurrentAffairs Program that is one Numerous International awards for the asias top policeman is speaking to the media hes dismissed questions over the journalist being treated unfairly he says the attorney general is yet to decide whether charges will be laid to feel that the core belief. To be free will be im not going to intimidate them im not going to allow anyone to harm to cause harm or to if they get the harm done please b b b b b b be professional about it. We still allow them. Access to the best lawyers or whatever it is the agent is sacked the other way. Speak to us from in kuala lumpur hes the chief executive and founder of the galen center for health and social studies good to have you with us you as someone who follows the health and social situation there perhaps you can explain to us the conditions that the documentary reported on those are not issues that started with this documentary right absolutely i think this documentary actually highlights some of the conditions which were. Used to the korean 19 outbreak and the subsequent restrictions on what no put into place but i have to say in response to what we just played on aired a moment ago the 30s have every right to be outraged if the documentary had been malicious and deliberately provocative to incite a certain amount of hatred towards a particular agenda or anybody reasonable who has watched this documentary would agree that it is actually fair and balanced and that is definitely what aljazeera is repeating and were calling of course for our colleagues not to be harmed or not not to have freedom to operate as journalists restricted no anyway. Tell us a little bit about the issue what sort of conditions are undocumented migrants facing in the country especially because of the long now. Well if youre documented or undocumented migrant very often the issues are very similar in terms of how you are able to Access Services but also the treatment of or yourself in the Malaysian Society environment you are vulnerable regardless of your document undocumented status but if you were undocumented that probability actually increases tenfold simply because you wouldnt have necessarily the kind of access that you have to services such as Health Care Legal aid or even some form of remedy against an unfair employer that we have seized your passport and may not renew your s what was highlighted in your documentary so if youre undocumented it definitely is a point of concern especially in a Public Health emergency such as the kobe 19 outbreak how easy is it for you to feel for people to talk around raise this issue its clearly a sensitive issue well these sort of issue shouldnt be sensitive really i think from a humanitarian perspective especially when youre looking at it from a Public Health angle which is basically to care and to provide care for those who are in need we should be able to look at my coworkers as being part of the population in which we depend on their labor and they depend on us to help in allowing them to generate income for themselves and for their families so really this issue goes specter much more fundamental perspective of how we look at my work and it is unfortunately extremely xenophobic at the moment especially when foreigners are seemingly blamed for bringing this outbreak upon malaysians has the public attention impacted policy its role in hopefully a positive way. Well definitely this. Documentary that you have. Broadcast it actually brings to light quite a number of difficult longstanding and unfortunate the. Uncomfortable issues that affect a Nation Society and thats got to do with xenophobia bigotry and racism and how we look at these issues within this context and because theyre foreign because theyre not national it actually highlights even further how Vulnerable People can be when they are forced to confront these issues and unfortunately at this point of time we see that the government has taken this the wrong way. In a way that it has misread could be. Rather than to look at the good aspects of this documentary because policy changes need to happen we have constant michael work at labor and it has yet to happen and its been that way for decades but it must be emphasized. In no way were Migrant Workers if they were positive for covert 19 mistreated their Health Authorities provided the same kind of treatment which was humane compassionate and equal that you would expect for a person who is malaysian to be receiving in the Health Care Facility so when it come when it came to the mine workers were taken care of but what we were concerned about was the implementation of Immigration Enforcement actions during a Public Health emergency. I thank you so much for coming and sharing your experience and perspective with a lot of the. Thank you for having me.

Health officials insured. Anchor are warning of a major crisis after a sudden spike in corona virus cases a new cluster has emerged at the rehabilitation facility in central sri lanka at least 253. 00 new cases were found there on thursday 10 percent of the countrys confirmed infections the center has been locked down and Contact Tracing is now on the way after an employee left the center and went on leave. Details now from now in colombo someone else trying to has had the situation under control but now suddenly this whats causing the spike. Thats exactly what Health Authorities are trying to determine right now so i mean i mean in terms of the last couple of months the country has managed to keep a lid on the situation at least thats what the official numbers have pointed towards weve had just over 2000 cases on tuesday so they think those announced last night and now this at a Drug Rehabilitation Center out of colombo basically this all came about when an inmate at the prison facility in colombo when he was diagnosed as positive and when they were tracing back you know where he had been they found that he had done that to a at this Rehab Facility and now a lot of concern given the numbers i mean just 10 percent of the overall total jumping over night the one stuff member has been found in a different town that are 10 families hearing that have been put on the sort of so isolation people that have been. Associated with this stuff member there were 10 members of staff from the center that were hearing from authorities that had moved out either going on leave on vacation so now the process of finding them. Having testing them and seeing what the situation is me on the way im in a lot of their concerns that perhaps the country might be heading back into some kind of lockdown most friction. Well this is this is the issue right now i mean after weeks of lockdown we did have things easing up but this happened on very much a kind of a fees basis we had essential workers being allowed medical stuff essential services being allowed in we had schools which had been clear was for almost 2 months essentially starting a phased return the key sort of grades if you like that have need to examine just started on monday now there will some concern but overall the feedback was that many pupils had turned back in school but obviously with this kind of number jumping as mark says the authorities are very keen to point out and reassure the public that everythings under control this doesnt mean like a massive spread people are worried we had some reports that even here in the capital colombo you see around me i mean its pretty much almost business as usual yes everybodys betting mosques but that number the 250. 00 number overnight did send people spotting into some sort of markets and shops to start stocking up just in case there might be foot restrictions so thats the kind of concern at this stage i mean and obviously authorities trying to get a handle on it once again and bring the situation under control. Those lies from colombo over. Chile was one of latin americas Fastest Growing economies now 2 and a half 1000000 people are out of work on of the places struggling most as a tell known for its for the unction and for the tional cooking pots as the see in human reports the residents of myra no longer make enough money to eat. Or hasnt opened his shop for months all the handmade played pottery inside is full of dust including the emblematic piggy banks that he makes some just as they were all there for saving money and for good luck he says for all. But today potter is in this small rural town have neither money nor luck for my use streets and shops used to overflow with visitors but not since a broke through one of the monkey an area of what i leave my shop open to air out the place so if anyone passes they can take a look old habits are hard to break for generations the people of my day have made their living from making this type of pottery as emblematic as the chilean corn pies theyre served in. But now my day is as empty as peoples pockets just before lunch time you suddenly see residents coming out all heading in the same direction to the same place. Russia and siena is in charge of the Community Center thats become paul midas lifeline. All the volunteers at the soup kitchen are out of work potters. More hardcore scene out of the main we started with 100 meals then 120 every day more and more until the day came that we had nothing left to serve so we called the press and asked for help. 2 weeks ago that help started arriving especially from the capitals poor neighborhoods and from the fish fruit and vegetable markets.

Home as many portions as there are in each house. On this day theyre treated to a seafood stew with salad and a fruit or marker that there are 4 adults and 4 children in our house we cant afford nappies but thankfully here we get a good meal. Its finally included believe inas turn her mother who has difficulty walking has been waiting eagerly for the warm lunch and uncle sam havent a thought. Before we sold enough for all our needs now my father and i have no work and i have 2 children. The house is humid and cold because as in most homes the floors are made of dirt we are in good pottery like everyone elses is gathering dust so there is no money for heating this town is one of the fuel that is not under obligatory quarantine in fact there are very few people here infected with cold 19 and yet the impact of the pandemic has been devastating so much so that many are very worried that unless the Pandemic Energy economic effects is quickly like pompei or might as we know it will cease to exist. They know they cant depend on charity forever to fill their empty pockets some are already looking for other ways to make a living even if it means the end of one of chiles most beloved Cultural Icons you see in human aljazeera the mighty australia is having the number of citizens around to truck arrived from overseas since march only citizens and permanent residents have been allowed in Prime MinisterScott Morrison says the decision follows a surge of coronavirus cases in the state of victoria. At a time when victoria was idle to take flights again then obviously the challenges to the system presently caused by the outbreak in victoria would have subsided and that then of course would mean that they be less pressure on the system nationally so until that is under. Under control or even beyond that has been under control and victorias ive had to take up that as does flights again then will be in a restricted to pass a the for the civil future from said they mykola gates has the details of the announcement. From monday the Prime MinisterScott Morrison said that only 4000 citizens or permanent residents will be allowed to return to the country every week that is essentially cutting the intake figures by hoffs in terms of when that cap can be lifted the Prime Ministers said that will only happen when the corona Virus Outbreak in the city of melbourne is 10 times and right now of course there are thought of 1000000 people under possible lockdown in the city and surrounding some regional surrounding areas theyre on the allowed to leave their homes for essential reasons and on thursday we saw another record day of infection cases so it doesnt look good for those returning travel as there was another 288. 00 people testing positive for corona virus in the city of melbourne and as Scott Morrison says that all of the strategy is resources in this area needs to be going to fighting that outbreak of course fees are trying to stop it spreading to other parts of the country so there is a huge contingent of federal police and strelley and Defense Force personnel along the borders to make sure people on crossing into different areas another aspect of this announcement by the Prime Minister is that now anyone returning from all of the cities will have to pay for the mandatory 14 days of Hotel Quarantine that they need to take. The u. S. Supreme court has issued mixed verdict on demands for. Financial records and now at least the president s tax returns and other documents were remain out of the public have a tense explains. 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 and selling everything back down to the lower courts and so i know you care. For the sick point. You know the point so. This is a political witch a way that we can all you know if you or your 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 sure theres a lot 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 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 win the right to see them and that may or may not. No but the House Speaker welcome the justices are 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 path that the same 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 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 financially records before novembers elections.
