Abroad could escalate the conflict in neighboring libya. You see in the movie earthlings 2005 everyone should watch and the bizarre endorsement from ukraines president that helped end a siege inside a bus. Now u. S. President donald trump has warned that the corona Virus Outbreak is likely to get worse before it gets better its a mox departure from the optimistic picture he has projected so far even as cases continue to rise in many States Mike Hanna has more from washington d. C. In the past president cost him self as americas cheerleader making rosy predictions about the course of the pandemic that were often at odds with the facts but this was a more subdued president than on previous occasions it will probably unfortunately get worse before it gets better something i dont like saying about things but thats the way it is and a complete reversal on the use of mosques something that in the 1st few months of the pandemic the president often derided at one stage even expressing support for anti mosque protests in a number of states this to it seems a thing of the past i have no problem with the masks i view it this way anything that potentially can help and that certainly can potentially help is a good thing i have no problem i carry it i wear it you saw me wearing it a number of times and ill continue if there were some familiar claims that the u. S. Is leading the world in testing and that its mortality rate is lower than anywhere both assertions declared false by most Health Experts and little comment about a startling report from the centers for Disease Control it says the official figure of some 3600000. 00 cases of coronavirus in the u. S. Is dramatically less than what it now estimates could be as many as 38000000. 00 cases its not clear whether the president s new embrace of reality rests in a recognition not because such as these or whether hes seeking to reverse what are politically damaging polling figures about the publics view of the way hes handled the crisis mike hanna aljazeera washington. Well now more than 500 women have tested positive for the corona virus in a texas prison now just 3 weeks ago the jail in fort worth only had 3 confirmed cases last week and mates told a local newspaper that the prison didnt have enough sanitizing supplies or protective equipment and they also said cells arent immediately cleaned after someone tests positive now police in bolivia have recovered the bodies of more than 400 people thought to have died from the corona virus the dead were picked up from streets vehicles and homes over the past 5 days more than 60000 people have tested positive for the virus since the outbreak was identified there and more than 2000 have died as the governments been advised to delay president ial elections due in september. And now bolivias Health Ministry is opposing lawmakers controversial plans to allow the use of a bleach like substance to trick the virus the Senate Passed that measure last week and people are now lining up to buy bottles of chlorine dioxide despite a warning from the Health Ministry that its not fit for human Consumption Health authorities including the u. S. Food and Drug Administration say the bleaching agent is dangerous and people who have taken that experience serious side effects. Mostly that. This is a product that has not been approved by the ministry weve published a resolution opposed to the substances approval and said it is not appropriate for human consumption and that it can have grave consequences for human beings and for the body we have even seen cases of chlorine dioxide poisoning. And mexico has revealed more than 40000 people have died there from the corona Virus Outbreak the government has faced criticism for easing restrictions while infections was still on the rise they have now been more than 350000 cases but Health Officials say that the real number is likely significantly higher. As nearly 2 dozen potential vaccines for the corona virus are under various stages of human testing worldwide and these 2 of those are being conducted in brazil the country with this worlds 2nd worst outbreak and one of them is a chinese made drug thats being tested on 9000 volunteers the other is being developed by Oxford University which has also begun testing in sao paolo. Reports. That the niece of run shes was one of the 1st brazilians to receive the oxford vaccine against called with 19 shes a dentist in a hospital in her exposure to the virus and they need to prevent the spread of the disease is what made her want to become a volunteer for the clinical trials. Since receiving this vaccine i have had no adverse effects no symptoms or reactions i keep a clinical diary for the researchers and inform them of my temperature i continue working with the same level of exposure to the virus and working full time providing full assistance to this coded patient. Last month the oxford trials got underway in 3 faces and their brazilian government has signed a letter of intention to have access to around 100000000. 00 doses but its not the only vaccine that is being tested on monday the governor of so powerful an ounce 20000 seen a vaccine from china had arrived in brazil as the key testing is now underway and is expected to last for 3 months this is to the control up and more this study is controlled by the institute of. Were not just participate in it will become an open study since we have the 1st evidence on the efficacy of this vaccine amat will allow us to bring the vaccine to the brazilian people quick 3 we have the possibility to become the 1st country in the world to use this vaccine on a large scale so this is a historical moment. More than 2000000 people are infected with the virus in brazil and it has killed at least 80000 others while the testing could one day prove promising some consumer groups awarded the brazil could be left out and thats why there are calls to vote on a law on compulsory licensing only licenses and the leverage that a large scale access and pursue should adopt licenses and especially the love you. First. Congress which is. To. Change which is i love you that says that each and every technology use. To the endemic. I suggested to. Compulsory license no other words. No technology should be undermined openly but many say its unlikely that government on the night i would support the law because he has downplayed the threat of covert 19 brazil is a country of over 200000000 people advocacy is crucial to help save lives. And to see. Well now to South African cabinet ministers have been admitted to hospital after contracting corona virus the official number of infections there has now passed 373000 south africa accounts for 50 percent of cases in africa and now ranks 5th in the wilds after the us brazil india and russia the virus has killed more than 5000 people in the country and iran has now reported its highest daily number of deaths since the outbreak began the 229. 00 deaths pushed the total to more than 14600. 00 and follows weeks of rising infections across the country this month face masks became mandatory in and closed public spaces and further restrictions have been introduced in the worst affected areas including the capital tehran now the u.

The British Government has been accused of actively avoiding looking into evidence of russian interference during the breakfast referendum the Intelligence Committee report into moscows activity in britain call for immediate action russias foreign 8 ministry has dismissed the claims as russophobia sonic reports. In the shadows of britains democratic process and its economy the threat of interference from russia looms large russia whose is an all encompassing Security Threat which is fueled by paranoia about the west and a desire to be seen as a subject great power carries a malicious cyber activity in order to sell to self aggressively for example by attempting to interfere other countrys elections by prepositioning itself in other countries Critical National infrastructure and this is the major threat to National Security. The warning signs were there the Scottish Independence referendum in 2014 the 1st post soviet interference in a western democratic election but it raised little curiosity from the government this long awaited report paints a picture of a political system rife with complacency when it came to the issue of russian attempts at interference britains democratic processes were at stake as was National Security so the question remains why did governments take so long to tackle them there is a lot of russians with very close links to. Hooten who are now very well integrated into book both u. K. Business political and social scene what we refer to as learning is a london grad yet few if any questions of the National Guard the problems of considerable wealth. This.

It was the governments failure to look at a possible russian meddling in the 2016 brecks referendum that sparked the investigation by m. P. s no evidence of interference has been found but the lack of curiosity to examine that raised alarm in the report after the break said vote it was the turn of the us in the 2016 president ial election u. S. Intelligence agencies concluded that russia had been behind Cyber Attacks on the Democratic Party to help the eventual winner donald trump it was a wake up call that turned into an uproar after the attempted murder of former double agent said basically on british soil with a soviet developed nerve agent russia denied it was to blame but it plunged u. K. Russian relations to a low not seen since the cold war but it is the undermining of british institutions that is at the heart of this storm the u. K.

A wrong Supreme Leader says terror will not interfere in relations between iraq and the u. S. But as ayatollah ali hominidae warned that the u. S. Is an enemy and doesnt want an independent iraq lexer brun reports. Iraqi Prime Minister to me is the 1st official irans Supreme Leader has welcomed face to face and 5 months ayatollah ali how manys matings have been called off until now because of the coronavirus pandemic these talks a privilege reserved to one of irans most important allies how many using the occasion to warn about the influence of the United States saying its against an independent iraq and in the rivalry between tehran and washington came close to open conflict on iraqi soil earlier this year when the u. S. Launched air strikes in baghdad killing Iranian Military commander. Must offer a way into tehran a gets a point out that iraq would not be a battlefield for iran and the u. S. But also aware that iran is crucial to iraqs security as well as its Financial Recovery from the pandemic. From the iraqi people always aspired to exceptional bilateral cooperation based on Mutual Respect and without any intervention in Domestic Affairs we fought against isis and other terrorist groups and iran was the 1st to stand by our side and this cannot be forgotten. While the coronavirus manes the visit was socially distant both sides wanted to emphasize the closeness in their relationship more to my own house i am confident that this visit will prove to be a turning point in expanding ties between the 2 countries of iran and iraq that are 2 friends and 2 brothers had. How to make shows regional rivals iran and saudi arabia for his 1st trip since taking power in may another one of the careful balancing act in office a former intelligence chief became laid it with the support of both washington and tehran after months of ballistic. Well wrangling but as cheney is being mocked with a government crackdown on probably runny and paramilitary groups this Prime Minister is trying to kind of begin to move iraq out of its battleground out of iraq as a country where you have an experience from iran from the go from us and trying to almost began to formulate an independent Foreign Policy for iraq one that works for iraq but of course thats a very big task for him to. Irans president Hassan Rouhani says his country will work with iraq to ensure the regions security and stability but with the iranian Supreme Leader valen to retaliate against the u. S. Overselling mounties did that stability is far from certain and example on aljazeera. And mining has long been a way of life and many people in indian administered kashmir but the scrapping of the territories special status last year has had to changes in the way that contracts are allocated and thats left some locals fairing for their livelihoods and as of parana reports. The jaylen river and the himalayas have been to constance an indian administered kashmir for as long as people here can remember as well as being a vital source of water the j. Dam and its tributaries have also provided a livelihood for many who mine the river the sand and minerals but for the 1st time People Living in the region say outsiders have been awarded most of the mining contracts and locals whove worked in mining all their lives have missed out i the Indian Government began option in the 1st of 200. 00 mining areas online in february but phosphate 40 internet hasnt been restored to the region since its autonomy was revoked in august last year and the internet was cut off more than 50 times in the 1st half of this year locals say that left them at a disadvantage but the image element. We didnt get any information because the media was shut down the internet was shut so thats why we can participate. Thats left many feeling the government has acted maliciously i think people are of the real that this is being done deliberately to show that the normal have the right on the resources on their contracts or or any other such things in the state. Until now local kashmiris pay the government to see to mine the riverbeds but that will no longer be allowed the government says its acted properly and local people have been awarded up to 40 percent of the contracts and denies that the online process was unfair so i dont think. There is one higher bidder and the 2nd one is the law. In the law that does not mean that internet was not. Experts are also worried about the impact of expanding the sector on the environment and peoples lives so all these things you know are going to be detrimental to the ecology and a great ecology of the river and not only vertical quality can also have social economic. Impacts because there are many people who live on the banks so that if any of the erosion picks this year when their house is going all that was done. But maalik says his livelihood and that of his 100 laborers have already been washed away thats added to economic problems in the region since a violent uprising began against the Indian Government in 1990. Which is why youve seen whats happening here since. The government does this. Now with the threat of their livelihoods being taken away completely many say theyve been forced to mine illegally elizabeth purana aljazeera new delhi.
