Well this person who defected 3 years ago to south korea the return date back to north korea was on july 19th and he suspected or he or she is suspected of having covert 19 other reports dont indicate if he or she has had the official coronavirus test and said that the suggestion is that theres been several medical check ups showing respect for the symptoms that are linked to or a similar to those that you have with the crowd a virus that if confirmed as you mentioned this would be the 1st case officially acknowledged by north korea kim jong un has had the emergency meeting has declared a state of emergency also that border city of case one has been put into a lockdown as it was got as a result hes described it as a critical situation a report released by the state run media says its a dangerous situation in case some that may lead to a deadly and destructive disaster now north korea has received thousands of testing kits from russia and other countries its also had some pretty strict border closures in recent months but i believe restrictions have eased of late now the case of this particular defector the state run media say he illegally he or she illegally crossed the demarcation line on july 19th and the politburo meeting described it in a dialogue as aloof guard performance on the front line on that particular day and obviously an investigation into the military unit responsible will happen ok lets return to our top story those protests in Portland Oregon in the u. S. Joining us now from portland is ryan dundon a contributing editor at the Economic Hardship reporting project hes also a documentary photographer hes also a native of portland hes been covering the protests over the past 2 months dundon just take us through ryan what youve been seeing and what youve been hearing. Weve been seeing now be protests for just about 2 months here coming up. The protests that have been our sense the end of may. Protest against Police Brutality and systemic racism and in the last 3 weeks of sars as the 1st week of july weve seen the arrival of federal police forces. To attempt to crack down on these protesters and as a result weve seen a huge upsurge in the numbers of people at the protest and in the determination of the protesters when you talk to their own about the protests the demonstrations getting bigger is that people getting on board with the b. L. M. Message or is that them reacting to the trumpet ministration sending in these non tagged anonymous federal agents both i dont think the issue was people getting on board would be very progressive and the support for be around is widespread. But. Have been the basically the president target try to make an example of the city has absolutely brought a broader base to the to the protests that were there at the beginning then after you know a month or so are the protests were getting a little bit smaller and this is only brought about everyone that would have been out at the beginning and youre talking to us ryan were looking at some of your photographs it makes powerful viewing is there a sense there on the streets when you talk to the people who are demonstrating and also if you talk to anyone whos connected to the Security Services to the police force there that these federal agents are not really operating at the very edge of what is strictly speaking proper legal. Yeah. I think the general sense among protesters and the public at large is that theyre absolutely acting outside the law we see them running around the streets many blocks from the federal courthouse as you see in those famous videos abducting so this is and also running out in the park a public park and snatching people up the streets of portland so i think the. Question is not whether its legal or not is when it is going to leave is there something of a surprising contradiction here ryan you know Portland Seattle they share something in common they are liberal they are calm they are fought for locations they both fantastic cities and yet people now are so angry that people who maybe havent protested or demonstrated ever before in their lives theyre out on the streets squaring off against these guys who you know weve seen the reports on social media weve carried the reports if you have a falling out with these federal agents youre hostile into a vehicle and then you are taken to a location reportedly an unknown location yet thats thats absolutely a threat as it is getting shot in the head with a rubber ball or hit with a tear gas canister or just ingesting tear gas which everyone down there right now is doing as we speak. You know the Pacific Northwest Seattle Portland has a rich history of protest its in the blood here and. Then mayor picked the wrong city to test this out on. And when you talk about they may have picked the wrong city not wishing to to dwell too long on the b. L. M. Movement and what it clearly wants to achieve but do you get the feeling that these protests are kind of morphing into being anti trump protests the election is just around the corner as opposed to being what the demonstrations originally set out to achieve not the black lives matter still the absolute thrust of the protests if you were down there right now theyre standing by. There are people leaving the protests and on the megaphones you actually went down there therefore its provoked by his manner but you know protests this large. There are a lot of. Theres a lot of different motivations under that umbrella and. At the moment there has been. No you know you have this very Unifying Force that the federal agents are in in the city ok we must leave in iran. But its. Not a new focus understood i apologize there for interrupting iran weve got to leave it there thank you so much for coming on ryan dundon the important. Thing for us this years 1st atlantic hurricane hanna has made landfall on the Southern Coast of texas strong winds and rain and rain lashing the coast with the category one system arriving on saturday of Corpus Christi the governor of texas issued a disaster declaration for 32 counties saying the coronaVirus Outbreak will complicate rescue and Recovery Efforts and in the Pacific Ocean hurrican douglas is heading for hawaii where people are boarding up windows and stocking up on supplies the storm is expected to reach the u.
