For a blockade on exports imposed by the war people have to. Well theres been another record daily rise in the number of coronavirus cases around the world 230000 people have tested positive just in the last 24 hours and india has reported a surge in cases for the 6th consecutive day it had nearly 29000 infections over the past day and local officials in indian administered kashmir are expected to impose a lockdown after a surge in cases there several Indian States have imposed weekend caf use and shop to areas considered to be high risk. Well 3 generations of bollywoods prominent family have tested positive for the virus that includes former miss weld. And her 8 year old daughter it was announced a day off to have father in law indian actor chan and her husband were admitted to hospital when our correspondent elizabeth parana is in new delhi for us seeing kashmir here bracing for even tighter restrictions is there a sense that its being singled out. This certainly is there are a lot of questions being asked about whether this lockdown is necessary given the number of cases rather tube you know theres around 1200 cases in the city in the capital city nonetheless the government has announced that many parts of shes going to going into lockdown they said 88. 00 socalled red zones are going under complete lockdown theres also barricades being put up in large parts of the city they say that this is because the number of cases and she and i go has risen from nearly 600 at the end of june to double that now that people havent been Wearing Masks that they havent been social distancing. Since the initial nationwide lockdown was eased about a month ago and so thats why this saying that this is necessary journalists that ive spoken to say that even though the government is saying this is not a general lockdown its targeted to the was defective areas it very much feels like a complete lockdown especially because those socalled red zones are so scattered that its really difficult to around them especially because they or barricaded people are used to barricades this is a region that has been under many restrictions before coronavirus for nearly a year since the Indian Government revoked its autonomy in august of last year that has had a massive Economic Impact so more restrictions are not welcome and theyre questioned when they when there are a relatively low number of cases and also the government announced that srinagar that indeed administered bushmeat would be open to tourism from tuesday and some people are asking whats the justification for inviting taurus while pushing residents on to more restrictions and isnt even telling us for weeks now that the government has been trying to scale up testing nationwide but how are they reacting to the surge that were seeing in other parts of the country. So a very much seeing state governments take over managing the outbreak off the coronavirus and their main tool for doing so for trying to break the chain of transmission as cases continue to rise is to reimpose lockdowns as were seeing in srinagar but whats different is thats by the Central Government elsewhere we are seeing more lockdowns being brought in from the state level the latest of the major cities of pruning maharashtra cannot to and then going to go into a strict lock down with only essential services from today for 10 days they join other areas like that have been on the many areas in the state of west bengal the northeast city which are already under lockdown 7 and else that its extending its lockdown for another week and so thats very much watch state governments are trying to do the Central Government as you said they have scaled up testing Something Like 300000 tests conducted a day but its really important to remember with indias numbers that theyre still doing some of the conducting some of the lowest levels of testing per capita in the world many independent Health Experts will say that the real number of cases in india a much higher than whats being reported in is both purana india correspondent there for us in new delhi thank you very much as. Well more than a quarter of the worlds kovan 1000 cases in the u. S.

Protests in one county tried to shoot down and over the weekend another protest. A restaurant offering free food to people who refused to cover their faces selfish for not wearing a mask i want to say to you then all the people calling the selfish youre the one whos trying to force me a medical procedure so that you can feel more safe on the risks are very very much this is a virus that has a 99. 6 percent recovery rate this is a virus that is very well contained this is a virus that the c. D. C. Is recommending at the demick satisfied. None of that is true and wearing a mask is not a medical procedure still it has become a political statement for many in the u. S. The entire reason for the shutdown was so hospitals like the one behind me do not become overwhelmed when the states that are seeing the biggest increases like florida arizona texas the hospitals are close to capacity and given what we know about how this virus spreads it is likely that that is going to continue stretching the hospitals beyond capacity.

We are supposedly we are on trial. But we believe that it is the whole government of police that should be put on trial and will be put on trial because of their suppression of our right to form room for all right throughout assembly for their credit i vigil which has been going on for 40 years and the 31st year they buried our gathering under the name of of in order this is a concrete you know you of all right under the constitution basic law and all right im going to International Covenant on civil and Political Rights well lets ask our correspondent sara clark who joins us from Hong Kong Sara youre standing outside that court where these prodemocracy activists are appearing today and they certainly sounded defiant as they arrived. They certainly did they all arrived 13 calling for no to political crimes no to political suppression and they value announce that they were going to fight for the time so this particular case its a 1st hearing for these 13 high profile prodemocracy activists that hearing has now been adjourned it was a summons only on monday but certainly its a high profile nature means its really quite a lot of Media Attention now not only have there been charged with inciting an organizing this Illegal Assembly on june 4th which marks the anniversary of the chairman square massacre of police also say they breached the various social distancing rules that were put in place at this time and that meant any gathering beyond people in public was banned now they say they did not ask these people to join this particular rally that came on their own account and included in this group weve got the lights of the founder of the of the big media group here known as apple daily its a prodemocracy group and we also have a couple of the founders of that particular organization thats been holding these can look vigils for the massacre to pay their respect people to pay their respects to those who lost their lives back in 1909 that sleep and out at home now as i mentioned today was a summons only but if these people are charges that hes found guilty of these particular charges they could face up to 5 years in jail and there as de vere was reporting just earlier that these democratic primaries had an enormous turnout over the weekend however the rio authorities have been reacting to all this. Depend democratic approach a box to block the target or seemed about 150000 people would turn out for this primary vote on the weekend instead they got around 610000 of these primary voters its a key strategy organized by the prodemocracy group to try to filter out of the least and the most popular candidates now as a result and identify the the most popular stand at the list of Council Elections which will be held on september 6th how this will be a fiercely contested battle between deployed beijing and the panda credit cant approach beijing currently have majority but the prodemocracy groups will be holding hoping that they get a similar election result to last shes a district Council Elections when they won 17 of the 18 districts and if the prodemocracy camp can secure the majority within the council then that also gives him the power to buds be unable or approve or reject the budget or not powers of debate democratic reform and in an extreme circumstance i could also try and force a Residential Homes chief executive harry.

Embassy in libya says quote its regrets foreign backed efforts impeding the resumption of Oil Activities well in my body is a nonresident senior fellow at the Atlantic Council where he focuses on libya he says the oil blockade will likely force foreign players to get even more involved. While this blockade protracted and considering the protraction of this situation so to speak russia is actually the state that will be gathering the most influence and has drawn in the us now there is increasing this true tonight in the situation and it has put put it in quite a precarious situation because the blue magically speaking the u. S. Cannot do much unless it decides to counter russia either through very very concerted efforts soft power once and that means speaking to turkey and speaking to the u. A. E. To stop doing what theyre doing or to counter russia militarily because russia is involved in the military so it has these 2 options and i dont see it taking any of the 2 and that means that libya is headed to a certain extent in some form some way shape or form to either a yemen or a syrian like scenario unfortunately.
