A bitterly fought compromise at the u. N. More deaths reported in malis protests so the president s now promising big changes to the government. And parliamentary heckling of irans foreign minister provokes a stern warning from the Supreme Leader. Starting in the u. S. Where florida has recorded its biggest daily increase of covert 19 infections with more than 15000 cases reported on sunday florida really emerging as a hotspot for the virus now nearly 270000 cases reported with more than 4000 deaths many sets cities across the state have now reimposed locked down restrictions that were relaxed back in may lets have a quick check of the Johns HopkinsUniversity Track oh you know this one it keeps a tally of cases not just across the world but in each American County and on this map the darker the shade of purple the more severe the outbreak so look down there along the east coast right the way down to florida in the panhandle the. And states high infection numbers up in chicago as well in the west phoenix california 3200000 people in the us all together have now tested positive and more than 130000. Have died my can is in washington d. C. Keeping an eye on this i mean that number just florida 1st of all mike over 15000 as we pointed out thats what its a lot more actually than what some countries are now dealing with. Indeed years of florida was a country it would be the 4th highest infection rate of the United States india and brazil more than 15000. 00 reported in the past 24 hours but one statistic as well thats deeply troubling to Health Workers commercial is that testing in florida has doubled in the past few weeks from 25 percent 2152252500 extension 00 every day now what has also happened though is that one month ago 4. 5 percent of those being tested were positive now in the past week nearly 20 percent of those being tested are positive now why these figures are significance is that it gives lie to President Trumps claim that more cases are appearing because more testing is being done that is simply not the case these statistics indicate that the virulence and the victor of the disease is multiplying showing very clearly in a state like florida that youre looking at a multiplication of infections clearly this is a Community Spread infection and certainly this is a major concern but just to look at the country as a whole kemal there has been a 52 percent increase in infections in the past week alone and very importantly theres been a 25 percent increase in deaths now these figures are absolutely staggering and yet there is still this push to reopen i know there is a difference between what states to and what guidance come from the federal level but from the federal level from from the president himself he wants the economy back again he wants kids back in school in a few months time. Florida is complete case in point florida was one of the states targeted by President Trump for early opening the pressure of the governor there who happens to be a republican very close to president trying to open as soon as possible as a result of florida began to open in mid may varr earlier than any of the states now grass produced by john whats hopkins show a direct correlation between when the states opened and when this latest surge began to happen youre looking at an approximately 2 week gap that is the infection period that we are seeing throughout the states that opened early so theres a direct correlation between opening early and the surge that were seeing at the moment but whats also troubling is that in a state like florida the governor continues not to issue a mandate to re wearing off masks he says that its up to individual choice disney world for example has just opened this weekend against the advice of many Health Officials in florida and the governor insists that schools are going to reopen on time at the beginning of the summer for 5 days a week if there will be no staggered tuition as many other schools in many other states are contemplating so certainly florida is at the epicenter of not only this spurt in the virus but also some would argue and incompetence in terms of dealing with that and refusal to accept that opening up a state early is dangerous keeping it open as these statistics show is doubly dangerous indeed thank you for all that information mike hanna in washington. On to other news and aid groups say theyre deeply concerned over restrictions of the flow of aid into syria the Un Security Council agreed on friday to a compromise to leave only one Border Crossing with turkey open instead of 2 half a 1000000 children alone depend on aid that comes in through this area more from hashem. There are nearly a decade of conflict the syrians are now facing even more uncertainty nearly 4000000 are in camps stranded on the border with turkey they live in a rebel held territory in the north west while relying on International Aid bubble however is a lifeline for the 3000000 syrians in italy a province about asylum or which was the main entry point for a channel to civilians in gerard mary and i 3 and has been shut down after russian pressure for many civilians this could have catastrophic consequences in the end that had happened in israel prevents humanitarian aid reaching us thats all we have to live on and we have to fight for us without us things will never work well die of hunger and the. Provisions the families here get a basically enough for a week or 10 days is not enough if the regime or russia wants to cut this aid and close these borders will have a humanitarian crisis and people will try and head to the borders humanitarian aid agencies worry that reducing the number of crossing points will further choke off vital a for years the u. N. Ran its humanitarian operations through 4 crossing points 2 in turkey one in iraq and one in jordan. The International Organization warns stop being cross border aid deliveries will cause suffering and death. Now this is happening at a time when the humanitarian crisis in the country has actually got worse we had almost a 1000000 people displaced earlier this year so we are very concerned that the amount of access for humanitarian aid is being refused at the very time when we actually need more access stranded and surviving mainly through a serious face another major crisis with covert 19 spreading in opposition territories limited aid delivery to one Border Crossing will also likely further delay much needed medical supplies to contain the outbreak for now russia will have a bigger say over cross Border Operations and for many displaced syrians pushed by the army to retake rebel held areas will leave them with 2 options face starvation or surrender or 0.

Marshall ha stars other allies have been trying to pressure him into accepting some sort of a broader peace deal particularly egypt recently hes been able to turn to russia their commitment which in turn has had allies of the libyan government. Upping their commitment and egypt therefore then again having to commit to the civil war to a greater degree than it would otherwise the like so this whole you know plan to.

He is the highest authority in the country and he used his 1st address to parliament to call for calm to have a bit is. With relations with government should be in accordance with the law and sharia questioning investigation are your rights as has been mentioned in the law but insulting and accusing someone without providing Accurate Information or not youre right thats up to members of irans most conservative parliaments its 1979 revolution tackled and shouted at foreign minister zarif. He was called a liar by some in parliament angry over the handling of the 2015 nuclear deal a deal that was supposed to curb Irans Nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief but since donald trump pulled the u. S. Out of that deal and reimposed sanctions irans economy has struggled and its prompted conservatives who gained a majority in elections this year to turn around president has and rouhani and his reformist. Shouldnt have emotional and irrational reactions should be wise and justified sometimes you dont agree with an opinion 100 percent these may be normal political differences but iran has also suffered an explosion at a suspected missile site and a fire in the towns Nuclear Plant in recent weeks which iran has said could cause delays for parts of its program to sort or to join in addition to theres been financial damage but thank god no casualties. An admission of damage but no indication of what the cause was or who was behind it some outside the country have pointed the finger at israel and the us the Supreme Leader reminding his parliament of the threat to the country faces and how they must stand together against the u. S. There are attempts by conservative politicians to summon president rouhani to parliament to face questions and this is even talk of impeachment its not clear if the eye to those remarks will stop this course of action if they dont then it will put conservative politicians on a collision course with the Supreme Leader if they listen then they could be accused of toeing the line and Holding President rouhani to account i said very aljazeera the house.

Customs union the end of this year polls have closed in hong kong where prodemocracy parties are selecting their candidates for Upcoming Elections the voter turnout for the primary was higher than expected this Legislative Council election happens in september crucially it will be the 1st since beijing imposed its new National Security law earlier this month. People in poland meanwhile voting in their president ial run off could shake up Political Parties and affect relations with neighbors even though the office is largely ceremonial the president can still veto parliamentary legislation move from sun youre going. This is a stark choice for voters in poland one which will shape its identity in europe and the rest of the world were going to be on mars this is the incumbent crowd pleaser andrade polands president since 2015 an independent who has the support of the ruling law and Justice Party is seen as a stalwart of the governments message of nationalism and conservatism his backing of only traditional families and opposition to gay marriage adoption has put about all those with poles and others in the e. U. Who fear hes taking them backwards but his populist agenda has won over many voters i think. He is a good candidate because hes a tried and true man for 5 years what we know what he has done and who years and i think you will be the same as in the Previous Term of office. And to go to a movie that andrea do what he says he tries to carry out even if not everything can be realized at a given time he says hell do it and he does it i trust him as a politician and thats the president i want my andrea do to win the opposition believe they have everything to hope for and ruffled trust the mayor of warsaw is regarded by many as liberal tolerant outward looking and being more closely aligned with the rest of the European Union and independent of the judiciary. Its just ask you when this is a change its happening he will be he will not hes not a part of the current government hes not part of the Current Ruling Party so the situation itself having just a parliament ruled by the his party by the law and Justice Party. And the president from the other side of the political spectrum will bring a sense of dialogue into this country but lack of consensus and unity among poles was so polarized about how they want poland to be seen has been demonstrated by this election if you look at the votes of those who are in the retirement age by overwhelmingly vote and these but if you look at the youngest voters very mostly vote for. Politicians so it seems that in next years law and justice would have or would need to change politics because otherwise why would you support this is being seen as one of the most important elections since the fall of communism in 1989 the result of which is likely to see poland loosen all tighten its ties with its neighbors. The former u. S. Special counsel Robert Muller has defended his russia investigation which led to the conviction of former trumpet funso roger stone the u. S.
