With the 3rd highest number of deaths and colombia has over 10000 deaths lockdowns there a plan to last throughout the month of august and the government is expecting the peat be reached at some point in the month hospitals in several cities including the capital bogota have few available beds left in their intensive care units meanwhile argentinas lock down was due to expire on sunday but a recent surge in corona virus cases there is meant that its going to be extended underneath. The government is in the midst of negotiations with foreign creditors to prevent a hard default on its sovereign debt argentinas Economic Situation has further deteriorated in recent months and millions of people are finding it hard to survive to raise a boy reports on this now from one is iris. Its been a week since these people took over this piece of landing rated one of sightings and its located in that anita about an hour away from the capital. City says he cannot afford to pay for a home anymore. Ive had no work says the quarantine began im eating what i can i want to place where i can live with dignity i want to work but with the Current Situation its impossible i work as a day laborer building homes and nobodys hiring me. There are over 3000 people here among them dozens of children victims of argentinas dire Economic Situation and of colvin 19. Theres been a lot down in place for the past 4 months and many arjen times havent been able to go out and try to find work theres dozens of languages like this one all around one aside as people who are desperate to find a place to live who have lost their jobs and can afford to pay a rent this people are waiting for a Government Associations to start rebuilding their homes but in the meantime they have to see this tense in spite of the cold weather at night a little bit of all these people saying the land belongs to the state but a neighbor says the land is his and try to remove them by force the dispute is ongoing and. The next few days are crucial a period in which they can be evicted by their police. Argentinas government has increased cash handouts in recent months but. Says its not enough they were going to say and you know im 26 years old and i have 3 children i have nowhere to live my husband has no one i get some help from the governor but its not enough for a said here where the need is the minister in charge of security when a site is an area he says criminal organizations are using the desperate people to seize land i dont know when.

What this man says this is not the case in that a new god. I will do something that came from the people not so young people who lived with their parents and one broom the social network is broken there are no jobs there is a pandemic people criticize us they want to be tough but they should come and see how we live and treat us like human beings difficulties are everywhere in argentina these days millions are finding it difficult to survive they are proof of the enormous challenges that argentina is facing. There is a war and to see this. At all south africa has past half a 1000000 corona virus infections but has yet to reach its peak the Health Minister and else more than 10000 new cases on saturday africas most industrialized nation accounts for more than half of all reported infections on the continent with its population of 58000000 it has the 5th highest number of infections globally behind the United States brazil russia and india experts are saying that it could reach its peak early next month. Or for me to miller is in johannesburg joins us now in half a 1000000 cases and this is this is a significant milestone as net for south africa. And i think for many in south africa it is quite frightening given that the country has been under some level of lockdown for more than 4 months now while some of the restrictions have eased. Things really arent havent returned to normal at all and its quite concerning to see that number rise now the government also released a statement the president says specifically not long after the announcement of half a 1000000 cases a saying that things are bad but not that bad it says that the lockdown has helped to delay the increase in cases of the last few months giving the government time to prepare Public Health facilities and its relied on these Public Health facilities to help people in this country who have been infected by the virus but theres also been concern that in provinces like the eastern cape specifically the presidency has also acknowledged that that province its Health FacilitiesPublic Hospitals have been overwhelmed in the rest of the country in the provinces like the western cape the government has said that it appears as if the number of infections has plateaued and now theres a lot of concentration a lot of focus on other places like cutting where we are as well as natal they say that they have increased capacity in Public Hospitals theyve also theyve also established a number of field hospitals across the country but in recent media reports its also been observed that many of these field hospitals for example are whats been called White Elephants while the field hospitals have been set up they are beds they may not be enough staff or they may not be enough oxygen available should the need arise the government has said that a new ventilation project will distribute at least 20000 ventilators in the coming months so this is the kind of miss it. The governments trying to put out in that we are on top of things to the best of our ability but at the end of the day we do continue to see a rise in cases across of africa right now its not just about their ability to cope its also about testing isnt it because experts are saying that the truth the truth the true toll of the coronavirus is likely to be much higher because of the lack of testing are we seeing a rapid rise in cases elsewhere on the continent. Well in south africa specifically about 3000000 tests have been have been conducted and if you compare whats happening in south africa to the rest of the counted continent you know the this of africa has done pretty well comparatively speaking in a country like whats one of just north of south africa theyve been reports of 140 cases of the coronavirus and for a population of about 2000000 people that is serious for puts one up because theyre worried about the spread of the disease there but again as you say concern around the testing capability many countries rely on south africa for testing in the months previously weve seen tests being sent to south africa for for them to be verified and of course by the time the test results get back to the country of origin some time has passed and then theres concern around spreads and so south africa is is leading that race in terms of testing but in a country like zimbabwe theyve been 3000 cases reduced and so far and that is a country with this concern again about the number of tests that have been done and if there is an accurate number being reported and even in south africa well so africa has about is the 5th highest in the world with regard to the number of infections its 36. 00 in the world with regard to the number of deaths about 8000 and even then theres concern about accurate reporting around that so i think across the continent concern about the accuracy of numbers thank you from johannesburg for me to meller. Well in other developments russia is racing to become the worlds 1st producer of a corona virus vaccine with a mass Immunization Program planned for october russias Health Minister says Clinical Trials of the vaccine have been completed the plan is to vaccinate doctors and teachers 1st but some critics are worried that russia could be fast tracking the process in an attempt to portray itself as a leader in medicine and science the u. S. Says it should have a vaccine itself ready by the end of the year or early next year. Meanwhile negotiations for a u. S. Coronavirus relief package have finished for the day democratic senator judd schumer says they were more productive than previous discussions but hes also warned that congressional leaders in the white house a still not yet close to a deal the primary focus of the talks is the 600. 00 a week enhanced payment for people who qualify for Unemployment Benefits cheering the pandemic that scheme ended on friday the money seen as a vital safety net protecting people from hunger and evictions the white house offered to continue making the payments for a further week but House Speaker nancy pelosi says a short Term Extension only makes sense if a deal was close the democrats want a long term commitment old are now about 30000000 Unemployed People in the u. S. Or about 20 percent of the working population roughly a more than 1400000 new people registered for Unemployment Benefits thats the 19th consecutive week that number has topped a 1000000 rosen jordan has more on this now from northern virginia. The paychecks coming from us state governments unemployment offices have been dispersed there wont be checks coming in the coming week or several weeks depending on how long it takes for Congressional Democrats and republicans to negotiate this deal this is of course a situation that has people very concerned this is the speaker of the house nancy pelosi who convened a saturday meeting in her offices on capitol hill what were doing is not only trying to arrest the virus but by to invest in the economy as we help him and his stamp of working families so she day was productive in terms of moving us forward as the leader said with. Theirs and ours to have some clarity in some of the issues and well meet again on monday well when youre talking about trying to enact a bill that would add about a trillion dollars which is what the republicans want to do versus passing a bill that would spend 3 trillion dollars which is what the democrats want to do youre going to have a lot of disagreement there are also components in both bills that the other side does not like and those issues have to be negotiated certainly one thing that many Congressional Democrats and a few Congressional Republicans dont like is a proposal to basically give Companies Immunity from lawsuits by their employees if they get sick while theyre on the job could Senate Republican leadership says this is absolutely crucial in order to try to get businesses back up and running but Congressional Democrats and a few republicans say thats a nonstarter that this should not be anywhere near a bill that is really supposed to make certain that people are being able to pay their rent or their mortgage being able to buy food being able to buy medicine and being able to pay their bills. Protests as a back out on the streets of israel demanding Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu resign theyve been gathering for weeks on the governments handling of the quote a Virus Outbreak demonstrations have been further fueled by Corruption Case against the Prime Minister netanyahu stood trial in a bribery fraud in breach of trust all of which he tonight are a force that has more on this now from west jerusalem. This is now 3 weeks of really large protests with were meant to behind them these are seen as the largest scenes of civil unrest that weve seen in israel for nearly a decade and as you say its a mixture of motivations and groups some of them protesting against that you know for years over his Corruption Cases he is currently on trial that child due to start in earnest at the beginning of next year with witnesses being called 3 times a week but theyve been joined and their movement has been buttressed by the fact that israel is laboring under the 2nd wave of coronavirus the Economic Impact and fallout of that is being seen as not being properly assuaged by government policy they are trying to do that but there are people that ive been speaking to tonight even saying things like you know that there be people being asleep and theyre waking up against this Prime Minister that the coronavirus has been a slap in the face for the country and that is what is providing these protests with their momentum has finesse and you know he says that this is leftist this is an occasion sore on the streets theyve been calling for the police to to ensure that this doesnt get out of hand there had also been talk recently or least in the last few weeks about a potential. Exploding of his rather fractious coalition with his former rival benny gantz and going to a 4th round of elections well if his numbers continue to be damaged by this protest and the effect theyve been having and his group of ours policy has been having on his popularity in the polls or not makes that look less likely so it could be that he has to a verts elections in the short term and then we wait to see whether the transition deal where he hands over power to benny gantz next year actually happens. The philippines has recorded its largest daily increase in corona virus cases for the 3rd straight day almost 5000 infections reported on saturday bringing the total to more than 98000 more than a 1000000 doctors and nurses a calling on the government to reimpose strict lockdowns because of the rise of ours task force is investigating but the government is under pressure to open up the economy well to japan now where they have been 472 new corona virus infections in the capital tokyo the 3rd straight day of record of increases recorded that now the citys governor is considering whether to impose a new state of emergency or the Southern Island of okinawa has already enforced emergency measures west some say u.

The source if there were any requests from the japanese or tokyo government we need to respond appropriately and think of a way to adapt the performance depending on the situation this my unfortunately include having to stop partway through the run this illinois has declared a culvert 19 state of emergency some japanese suspect u. S. Personnel based on the island of importing the disease there is concern that perhaps the reason why its hitting that island particularly strongly is because u. S. Forces particularly u. S. Marines have been able to come in and out of japan without going through immigration controls and until very recently without any covert 900 tests under the status of forces agreement a record 71 daily inspections were reported in the piano on friday and hospitals are being overwhelmed the majority of cases a u. S. Troops. In order for us to put every effort into combat in the coronavirus okinawa will issue a state of emergency to the commander of u. S.

Theyre watching the news hour live from london much more still ahead iran announces the arrest of the head of what it describes as a u. S. Based terrorist group. 3 people including a 17 year old are charged with a major twitter hack that hit prominent celebrities politicians and tech moguls. And in sports dancing in the dirt a red qualifying mistake at home for a World ChampionLewis Hamilton find out how he recovered later on with santa. Chinese farm bite dance has reportedly agreed to sell the u. S. Operations of its social media platform tick tock the move is designed to prevent donald trump from banning the app hes threatened to use his president ial powers to do just that emily sue reports. Its still latest rift in the escalating tech war between the u. S. And china for weeks u. S. Officials have raised security concerns over the chinese owned video ticktock saying it can help beijing spot on americans and now President Donald Trump threatened to fan it all together well look here that we may be bending we may be doing some other things. But a lot of things are happening so well see what happens but we are lucky that a lot of alternatives with respect to. Trump stepped up his rhetoric following reports that he may sign an order forcing Chinese Parent Company might dance to sell the u. S. Portion of take talk microsoft was set to be in talks to acquire it but neither side confirmed any deal in a blog post earlier this week to talks chief kevin mayer says his company is not being treated fairly he says its receiving more scrutiny because of its chinese origins and insists it is not the enemy talks estimated to have 800000000 active users worldwide a 10th of them in the u. S. Experts say banning it would be challenging i think its very unclear what a ban would look like and what it would mean you know its very hard to ban something thats popular among. Just you know if your parents tell you not to do something it makes you want to do it more in june a video that went viral on tech talk was seen as one of the reasons behind the poor attendance at Trumps Campaign rally in tulsa oklahoma forcing a wildly popular app off the smartphones of millions of americans could prove to be an unpopular move ahead of trumps reelection bid and they sue. Well Peter Mathews is a professor of Political Science at Cypress College joins me now via skype from los angeles so here we have another source of tension between china and the United States but of course this isnt a 1st time that we have seen the administration scrutinize all or try to block chinese tech giants do you see Something Different in this order to the tick tock to be divested well in this case. Was the cues in this is rightly so some extent of being used by an american citizen to get a big movement going to june to get people to sign up to go to present trying to rally in oklahoma and to not show up so theyre all pretty weak and that is seen by some of the trump people interference in american politics but frankly with an american citizen that got that got it going it was done here and its part of our freedom of speech and most experts elliptic talk is not a Security Risk so so speak its more so equifax the regional equifax and some other companies which were much more dangerous in that kind of information getting out as opposed to what to talk here is personal from a she could be as a danger and i see as National Security if that question right so if its unlikely to be a threat to National Security why is trungpa so determined to crack down on tick tock well i think one reason is he wants to appear to be very tough on china with the election coming up and secondly probably does not want this kind of influence mother way its true that to talk you just could put out a video of that influence american perceptions and viewpoints the policies and politics thats part of our freedom of speech here and i think trump is quite against some of that he wants to make sure to say that about American Tech Companies as well. Absolutely the american falcon is also can be used that we are used that way so the fact is that you believe that this is a real threat to National Security or not experts like professor sam in in Yale University she she said its very specific this is very interesting quote of hers this is professors sam sachs she says the Chinese Government does not have unfettered real time access to all u. S. Company data talk Companies Data chinese corporate actors are not synonymous with the Chinese Government or the Chinese Communist party and have their own commercial interests to protect so its not as cut and dry and simple as the trump you grow saying that china will control american politics and elections are the ticket talk so i mean is i suppose the question then becomes is this just the muscle flexing exercised by President Trump before the election is he likely to go for this proposal from the bike down to close the chinese on the uns take talks to offload the u. S. Operation you know and factor by day has just offered they had to now believe to sell their portion of the u. S. Operation to talk possibly to microsoft and i think thats what trouble like this claim as a victory but there is a committee on Foreign Investment in the United States which is a very important communication the Treasury Department actually has to investigate the buying and the influence of Foreign CompaniesUnited States so this is been in this investigation already started and Bipartisan Committee and of the members of congress have actually said they support the investigation i think you should do that and find out if to talk is really a National Security problem or not it was a truck vehicle this issue of the will to help you get more votes and engine up is these right wing Political Base thank you very much professor. Peter matthews from Cypress College appreciate the time thank you appreciate it. Now iran is saying that its arrested the head of what it describes is a u. S. Based terrorist group Jamsheed Sharma and the group known as tunde are accused of leading sabotage operations inside iran iranian authorities told responsible hold responsible for a bombing in 2008 in the city of shiraz in which 14 people were killed and more than 200 were injured to iran hasnt revealed where i was arrested i said begg has more on this now from toronto this group were established in the United States by an individual by the name of cherry they have a t.

Welcome back to the news hour life from london a look at headlines corona virus infection numbers in latin america have doubled over the past month mexico is eclipse the u. K. And now has the 3rd highest number of deaths while colombia has passed around 10000 deaths. Negotiations for a us Coronavirus Relief package to finish for the day the democratic senator Chuck Schumer says they want more positive than previous talks but a deal is still some way off. And protest is a back out on the. Streets of israel demanding the resignation of Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu i agree about handling of the Virus Outbreak but the demonstrations have also been fueled by the Corruption Case against netanyahu. Now to other developments and thousands of people have marched in the german capital to protest against coronavirus restrictions that about 17000 demonstrators joined the rally before police moved in to disperse them germany is seeing a spike in new infections as domenic cain explains. On saturday morning 955 new cases of corona virus were announced in germany and 7 new dance on saturday afternoon thousands of people came out to protest about the measures aimed at stopping the pandemic getting any worse the current rules are nowhere near a strict as earlier during the pandemic but for some people they are still too harsh and they say scientifically unjustified is good housing the robert 1000 that this is tough there are thousands and thousands of scientists and doctors worldwide who are not heard they are silenced by a sense it all discredited as Conspiracy Theory defenders even though the run entire universities protests against the coronavirus measures have been occurring sporadically for many months and this time like in many others elements from the far right of German Society were present organizers of saturdays protests had hoped to bring half a 1000000 people to Berlin Police only a small fraction of that number turned up theres no doubting the strength of feeling of many of the people protesting against the corona measures in the streets but equally theres no doubting the consternation these protests calls in senior ministerial circles not just here federally in berlin but also right across the states that make up the federal republic. Just a few days ago ministers decided to implement mandatory code with 19 tests for everyone flying to germany from high risk areas. And in the state of bavaria the Prime Minister singled out what he considers the danger of thinking the threat from the virus is either over or exaggerated. We need to be careful that many individual cases in germany dont become a slowly progressing 2nd wave the main reason is that unreasonable behavior carelessness and in some cases a conscious decision to ignore hygiene protocols are unfortunately on the rise of opinion polls suggest many germans support that view 87 percent think its right to wear masks in public 73 percent agree amongst the most covering is helpful but not these crowds in berlin for them what matters is their personal freedom to not wear a mask if they dont want to and to resist the very social distancing the vast majority of their fellow citizens except dominic can aljazeera berlin. Chiles president Sebastian Pinera has announced a 4 and a half 1000000000 dollars stimulus package to help the economy cope with the fallout from the coronavirus pandemic there and you made the announcement during his state of the nation address his 1st since months of antigovernment demonstrations at america and human reports on this now from santiago. Everything about this years state of the nation address was normal starting with the fact that it was delivered more than 2 months late because of the pandemic the president s problems began much earlier. These last 9 months have been very difficult and demanding for everyone and they have been very extraordinarily difficult for me. But like many chileans not in the past and was taken aback that he barely mentioned one of the most Important Reasons 9 months ago a nation wide social uprising millions of chileans out onto the streets to demand profound reforms protests vandalism and rage fanned by Police Brutality seemed unstoppable. Instead the president focused on efforts to confront the pandemic and to help the poor and middle class write out a steep economic recession i. Know dana says she hasnt received a cent even though shes been out of work since april when i heard him speak i cannot trust a word he says he has lied to us so much and the things he should be talking about right i dont believe it is promising. Others were listening. In this middle class neighborhood resident or even waving to the president. Already banging on one. Show their discontent. Here we are hearing reports that another part of town in low income neighborhoods the demonstrations of just pretend are becoming more and more violent. Appealed for understanding. I want to tell those families who are still waiting for help to arrive they will do everything in our power to correct our mistakes finally i want to tell you that a house divided cannot prevail. But bill had been hoping to hear the president chill more humility even as his leadership is questions even by some members of his own conservative coalition clearly disappointed to see in human aljazeera sente out. Greece has lifted its ban on cruise ships which will now be able to dock with some restrictions will be allowed into 6 major ports including paris roads and corfu but only if all passengers on board have tested negative for covert 19 industry has been one of the worst hit by the pandemic most companies canceled months of trips and many wont we start until next year several have declared bankruptcy governments including the u. S. And u. K. As some advise and citizens against Cruise Travel but some people are afloat in norway passengers of the ronald months on ship are being told to self isolate off to 4 crewmembers were admitted to hospital with the virus well douglas ford spent 17 years at sea and is the author of but its cruising on cruise ships 2020 says theres a lot of pent up demand for crysis and the industry should be able to bounce back the good thing about cruising is that they can change the destination for you every single day so you can visit truth reports to 3 islands in a single cruise you can visit for just a nation so i think archery cruising is good in this summer then talk to mon danger i think a moment here is where. Companies with the lone scrooge has. Tried to enter the orient of the market to quickly. But you know i think theres so much to mow especially for cruising next year and looking to greece doesnt have a big cruise industry at the moment you mean its been waning over the last. Oh there are less companies now operating out of. The news crew the protocols in place some. Increased air conditioning and all the prescreening so it should be easy to treat him good if anyone comes down with the bar. However just like any other place with a ritual ice skating rink courts or gold or sword if that sort of environment where you have in detainment tracing everybody is a bit of it from a good job. More than 600 homes have been destroyed by floods after it down in southeast sit on it burst its banks off to heavy rainfall cutting off another 600 homes fishel say they cant reach the flooded area and that warning of a large wave of displaced people down was holding 5000000 cubic metres of water for both agriculture and drinking floods triggered by heavy rains a common in sudan during the summer. Well there are fresh fears for future of the brazilian amazon rain forest with 28 percent more fires in the amazon last month compared with july last year numbers a collated by brazils Space Research agency in pe environmental clips are particularly concerned by shop spike in the number of fires towards the end of the month more than a 1000 files which registered on july 30th the highest number for a single july day since 2005 this is according to greenpeace are still present garble sonora last month ban the lighting a fire in the amazon for 120. 00 days he also authorized a military deployment deployment from may to november to fight the forestation and forest fires. Well carlos no bray was the lead author of a Climate Change report which in 2007 was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize along with former u. S. Vice president al gore is also a Senior Researcher at the institute for advanced studies at university of south palo joins us now from south as a discount pos by skype so if we look at these figures the number of fire is in the rain far susanka its jumped by nearly 30 percent from a year ago you worried that we could see a repeat of the levels of destruction that we saw last year yes yes yes we are very worried because the dress season in southern amazon we were most of the problems sleep please and most of the do for a station sticking please is drier this year then in 2019 so all conditions arent there for more fires the criminals the environmental criminals are defined government deforestation is also increasing in the last 12 months has increased 35 percent to do previews 12 months so all the conditions dr gross isnt in the environmental criminal defying government i mean as a result of International Pressure and criticism from abroad jabil sonar oh and forest fires and hes also deployed a military operation against the forestation but clearly it isnt working. Yet less here also a lot for talent Army Soldiers when theyre too not done fires they were more effective in september october fires the greased in those 2 months however deforestation creased tremendously in indoors 2 months and a lot of those areas with the forest trees they havent been burned less here so theyre still up tool for burning this year so we might expect a really a very high level peak of fire just this year just remind us why this story is so important why the rainforest is is so vital in the battle against Global Warming well of course in the forests tropical force is tore a very large amount of carbon. If we lose the forests all these carbon we go up in the atmosphere as Carbon Dioxide the key Greenhouse Gas for the Global Warming so we are going to move those hundreds of beaners up tons of Carbon Dioxide really making reaching the perrys agreement goals that much more difficult and also tropical force in the amazon is this hot spot of biodiversity so all also very important for climate is the ability in south america so we really have to fight to take deforestation to 0 and also to put fires to 0 do you think thats possible. Thats difficult but its not impossible because more dirt agriculture durst not to require much much more areas so length clearly in the amazon is mostly land grabbing lent speculators and the law groups. And all of that is not necessary im assuming i recall 2 can become much more productive and also do the largest value of the forest is in its biodiversity so we have to find ways to explore sustainably the amazon forest thank you for explaining it to us appreciate it carla snobbery from sanjay just count us thank you now i want to raise some other stories at least 4000 protestors from the quran the ethnic group in myanmar have gathered to demonstrate against the killing of an unarmed woman by soldiers crowds have assembled for 2 weeks demanding justice and compensation for the victims children also calling for me and my soldiers to withdraw from the area and military say the soldiers have been arrested but the killing has reignited anger and karren stay there a bloody civil war has been fought for 60 years until a ceasefire was finally signed in 201201 hey we want the United Nations and the International Community has the power to put pressure on the man mark government to stop the use of violence to the karen and all ethnic groups in myanmar to stop raping killing and treating the villagers like animals what thousands of people have gathered in russias far east to show their support for a jailed local governor at a rally for the 4th straight weekend in the city of kabul rosco over the detention of sergei for a girl fergal was arrested last month alone a charge he denies protests to say forgot was really ill arrested because of his anti kremlin stance theyre also calling on president let in a putin to resign saying that moscow has been neglecting the region.
