Hundreds of beds ready for patients a hole next to the International Airport once used for exhibitions and conventions now converted to a hospital hong kong is facing its 3rd and worst wave of corona virus with daily new infections in the triple digits the government says hospitals are reaching capacity Testing Centers are overwhelmed and so Health Workers and experts from Mainland China have stepped in to help their woman say she was compartments we understand the feelings of residents in one cong so we were deploying medical teams to support them 7 medics from a 60 strong team are the 1st to arrive from neighboring Guangdong Province they will be based at the makeshift hospital at the asia world expo at the height of the outbreak in Mainland China experts built temporary hospitals from the ground up in record time to treat thousands of patients it is that expertise the Hong Kong Government says it is drawing on but many are also questioning why the city would need external help given it had managed to swiftly and successfully contain previous outbreaks critics say the public were not consulted and the decision to bring mainland experts bypass the Legislative Council some activists have voiced concern that this is just another way for beijing to interfere in hong kongs affairs. The governments plan to offer free testing for all of the people in the territory has also raised suspicion with some in social media alleging this could be a way for beijing to access peoples d. N.

All else where almost 5000000 people across latin america have been infected with the corona virus at least 200000 have died mexico has reported a Record Number of infections for a 2nd day in a row its the 3rd worst affected country in the world it registered more than 9000 cases and nearly 800 deaths on saturday Mexican Government says the real number of infected people is likely to be much higher and want than the reports actually suggest so many rough lows in mexico city and joins us now i mean for a country like mexico to have the highest death toll in the world this must be devastating for the country is there a fear that its not it could get a lot worse. There is definitely a fear that things are only getting worse as as you mentioned in a single day mexico posted its new daily high for number of contagions with more than with more than 1500 new cases let me run you through the latest numbers according to Johns Hopkins university here in mexico 4003 of 434193 confirmed cases 47472 confirmed deaths so mexico certainly has become a hot spot in the world overtaking britain for the number of of confirmed deaths worldwide and theres a lot of criticism over the leadership here in mexico many criticize the countrys president for taking a relaxed approach when it comes to contagion for often giving contradictory statements to what Health Officials here say mexicos president has been consistently saying for more than a month now that the worst of the pandemic is over that the worst of the Economic Impact is over a completely different picture than the one painted by the sticks that we hear every day from Health Officials here in mexico now the country itself has started a gradual reopening as far back as may here in mexico city july 1st to mark the 1st day of the quote unquote new normal for the city this meant people could once again go out and participate in public functions a lot of nonessential activities have resumed in the country and there is its not uncommon to see people not wearing a face mask sort of mirroring that the same relaxed and lackadaisical attitude from from the country from the countrys president so theres a sense that we here as you reported in earlier segments mariyam about certain regions and other countries in the world that may be returning to a lockdown public Health Officials here in mexico say that a return to a lockdown or an increase of restrictions to curb contagion is almost inevitable. I mean they want Health Organization spoken as well about that being response because of the social and economic pressure from the lock down how to the measures taken in mexico compact with the rest of the region. As you mentioned mexico is now in 3rd place worldwide when it comes to the to the death toll just behind brazil and just behind the United States and as as latin america as a whole approaches 20200000 deaths theres one thing that i think a perspective that helps put this into context latin america is home to about 8 percent of the worlds population yet accounts for 30 percent of the deaths worldwide so it is it is staggering and when you when you hear the sort of forecasts and warnings the disheartening warnings that were hearing from world Health Officials in terms of the Economic Impact for example the u. N. Expects a in terms of g. D. P. Latin america as a region could be set back by 10 years the World Food Program is estimating upwards of 14000000 people in latin america will suffer from severe Food Insecurity thats quadruple the number of people on that list compared to the same Time Next Year there are certain countries that are hotspots where the where there are a lot of contagion we know brazil we know mexico but there are other countries that not only coded that are only suffering from the kobe pandemic but are suffering from drought and political instability economic instability and the big takeaway now and still is that the virus the pandemic shows no signs of slowing in the latin american region thanks very much for mexico. Meanwhile here in the u. K. Media reports are suggesting understood bars johnson is planning to drastic so drastically slow down the easing of coronavirus restrictions in a bid to avoid a 2nd nationwide lock down economy has been opening up in the past month but new restrictions are imposed in Northern Areas on friday because of a spike in infection numbers john how has this update for us now from london. Hopes that the worst of the covert 19 crisis may be behind the u. K. This autumn appear to be fading infection rates are rising for the 1st time since may not to the heights of a pandemic in april but nevertheless going up and the government has warned it may have to go further than the localised restrictions in place to control local spikes where they happen there are reports that the Prime MinisterBoris Johnson has commissioned a plan for a london wide lockdown including restrictions on movement in and out of the m 25 ring road asking people over the age of 50 who may hope vulnerable conditions to the virus to shelter at home and with schools due to return in just a few weeks time in september scientists are warning that any further reopening of the economy may mean other parts of the economy have got to shut again to maintain balance and the finger is being pointed at the Hospitality Industry will take a look at where i am now in soho in the heart of london and normally vibrant buzzing Entertainment District full of londoners locals tourists the bars restaurants and pubs that have been allowed to reopen the doors have the tables and chairs spilling out across the pavement and on to the road desperate for customers but there are no tourists around a lot of londoners are venturing out all that much and the reports suggest that the price of getting children back into the classrooms may well be that some of these businesses have to shut their doors again and Business Owners are warning they have survived one lock down many will not survive a 2nd. Now to iran the country is reporting its highest single day. A increase in corona virus infections in nearly a month describing the situation as concerning in most of its provinces the Health Ministry announced more than 2 and a half 1000 new cases on sunday with total infections exceeding 300000 the central city of where irans outbreak started is experiencing a resurgence more than 16 and a half 1000 people have died from cove and 19 in iran and then in the capital of the philippines manila the authorities there are set to reintroduce strict coronavirus lockdown measures from midnight on chews day a record single day rising corona virus infections was confirmed on sunday adding another 5000. 00 cases this takes the total pasta 100000 with manila accounting for most of those infections the philippines has the 2nd highest number of cases in the region behind indonesia and then the australian state of victoria has declared a state of disaster there is the number of covert 1000 cases is on the rise as they confirm 671 new infections on sunday a nighttime curfew is being introduced in the state capital and melbourne residents misstate within 5 kilometers of the home victoria accounts for most of australias new infections new measures a few to remain in place until the middle of september dr sanjay said on the as a physician an associate professor of medicine Infectious Diseases at Australian National university in canberra he said that complacency and fatigue have fed the pandemic in victoria. We certainly havent seen a drop in that data case numbers now you could also argue that with a place like blue which had a really extensive lockdown it took 4 weeks to really see a drop in cases its only been about 3 weeks here in victoria on stage 3 restrictions and probably just under 2 weeks with mandatory squarely in melbourne but there have been a large rise in that a number of cases and i think there were concerns that things were coming under control so they had to do something more extensive throughout the world weve seen that complacency and i think that key has become an issue with kobe theres that outbreak is dragged on and on australia has been no exception i guess a poignant example will be that a few days ago authorities knocked on the doors of people who had been diagnosed with heart of their not query probably being diagnosed covert and they were meant to be so if isolating and about a quarter of those doors that were knocked on did not have those people there so despite having coped with they were not at their house and that is of great concern now hundreds of people have marched to the gates of San Quentin State Prison north of San Francisco to demand the mass release of inmates as coronavirus deaths at a facility grow protest to say inmates are at greater risk of contracting the virus the Facility Needs adequate testing to avoid the disease is spread among its 3600 inmates as of wednesday 19 people had died from the virus demonstrators say the deaths were preventable lets go straight to casey casey b s radios kathy novak is at the prison where the protest is taking place just tell us about turnout there and what people have been saying to you. Well my own there ive got a few 100 people here are a lot of loved ones who have people incarcerated at san quentin and are worried about their well being as you say there are about 353600 people in our sara aided in san quentin and that over the course of this outbreak and 2000 people have tested positive for progress at 19 this prison is the oldest in california and advocates family members and even the president officials concede that it is just impossible to practice social distancing in this sort of setting. Its overcapacity doors are just bar and so its possible for a virus to spread through the eriks so evidently family members are extremely worried about the people that they love who are incarcerated behind these walls and they come out to protest and call for more releases the scrape says it has expedited a number of releases the governor says that more than 8000 more prisoners will be released as part of this action and that across the state of california for the 1st time in 3 decades because the population is less than 100000 but medical experts say that is still not enough to have the situation under control in a prison like san quentin there saying the prison population should actually be cut in half so the outbreak here is still very real a number of people its really concerned about the people who are infected inside thank you very much from San Quentin State Prison in france and San Francisco kathy novak of reporting to us that on a protest. Right well theres much more still ahead on this news hour from london government claims russian musson refight is being floated to libya to support the warlords. Adding the personal story to the historical artifacts we look at why museums are hiring refugees this tour guides. And then a bit later before makes a big call with the bodies president on the criminal investigation will bring you those details with sana. At least 5 people have been killed and 24 others injured in an attack on a prison in the east of afghanistan Officials Say there was several explosions including a suicide car bomb outside the prison in the city of jalalabad Afghan Security forces were locked in a gun battle with the attackers who are yet to be identified several prisoners managed to escape during the fighting i still have said that it was behind the attack but also brings us more from kabul. At least it explosions of taken place since the fighting started the Afghan Special forces are fighting the attackers in several Different Directions i was able to speak to an inmate in the political block who said a number of inmates are wounded several security towers or being controlled by the militants its still not clear how they got so much weapons and ammunitions into the heart of jalalabad the city but few days ago the Afghan Intelligence service announced that they have killed the head of intelligence for these london extended so it seems like its a revenge attack by that group we often heard from the americans from the Afghan Government that they have defeated the Islamic State in that part of the country but clearly the group is extremely resilient theyre able to strike such complex attacks after many many years of operations against them is actually very bad news for afghanistan in slight embarrassment for its International Law is as well libyas u. N. Recognized government says more russian mercenaries have arrived to support warlord Khalifa Haftar the groups have been shoring up forces loyal to have to his Year Long Campaign to seize tripoli recently ended in defeat the u. S. Has accused russia of sending weapons to libya in breach of a u. N. Arms embargo the acting u. N. Special envoy philip yes definitely williams says the risk of a regional war because of foreign intervention is rising mammadov to wirehead is in the capital tripoli and says that officials have recorded several russian planes landing in libya over the past 24 hours. It is estimated that about 1200. 00 russian mercenaries from the wagner group are now fighting and deploying get. With forces loyal to the warlord have to in many parts of libya and central libya specially in and around the oil industry nations in the old across an area in central libya on the coast and in southern libya the n. O. C. The National Oil Corporation is blaming get the russian sponsored wagners military and vidual for blockading the oil and stopping the Oil Production which is the backbone of libyas National Income now the spokesman of the sit on the job for a military operation that. Progovernment a military counter offensive says that. Russian made. Cargo planes including aleutian planes landed in central and Eastern Libya over the past 24 hours 5 of them landed in sit in the b. Airport about 20 kilometers south of the strategic coastal city of cillit and also in a military base of the city it the planes according to the government sources carried weapons and ammunition meanwhile 4. Military or cargo planes carrying it mercenaries landed in burma and in the eastern city of. William lawrence is a professor of Political Science and International Affairs at the American University is also the coauthor of after the uprisings political transition in tunisia libya and yemen joins us now from washington d. C. By skype so might have been forced to withdraw from tripoli after his attempts to take the city was dealt a serious blow if not ended but it seems as though his external back is a determined to ensure his political survival sort so u. A. E. Is all in behind have to are russia and. Egypt have started to deal more and more with the have it leave parliament. When it comes to politics and theres an increasing sense among the backers after that he wont make a political deal and therefore what they would like to do is find someone else who could represent the east include making however they think they will get the best political deal if they are militarily very strong and in all 3 countries are all in it supporting the eastern army seconds Building Momentum coming from the west. So that means the conflict will continue to escalate i mean already we had 2 rival governments or camps getting significant support from other countries but have we seen that interference reach new depths. Theres no question that there is a military escalation going on for the last 34 months following a previous escalation mostly by russia going back to september of 2019 and the numbers of mercenaries we have exceed 10000 we have russian logistics d and Armored Vehicles and air defenses maybe 29 players and so its its the weaponry particularly from russia is quite something turkeys broader draw as an air defenses and of course we have more scenarios d from a large number of countries largely bankrolled by the u. A. E. Coming in now that does not mean that diplomacy is impossible we had an International Deal on who the last february in january which became the u. N. Security resolution and the u. N. Is extremely active right now in trying to cut a deal starting with the cease fire on the oil fields with u. N. Monitors and a new way of routing the oil proceeds so the u. N. Is more active just in the last few weeks that weve seen in many months and u. S. Deployment diplomats as well trying to pompeo that make you lots of phone calls to regional leaders so you know whenever you think of u. S. Policy its more active now that its been a long time so we have both the chance of a large coffee drawn seared and huge diplomatic efforts to improve but i suppose we have to see whether those efforts actually bear any fruit weve been speaking for a long time about the Economic Situation in libya being unsustainable how serious is that how how close is the country to economic collapse. Well the western government has largely been living on reserves and they had to for example cut salaries to workers the eastern government has been living on millions of counterfeit or libyan dinar sprinted by russian firms and behind all of that we have a lot of oil wealth and a lot of ability to get loans against future oil sales so no one in libya is really suffering economically i think that the larger problem is the half 1000000 that have been displaced by the recent fighting the coup in 1000 problem and of course just the dysfunctionality of an economy at war time but theres no lack of resources or the ability to borrow money. Its more this is a fight over a future in current spoils thank you William Lawrence professor of Political Science and International Affairs at the American Embassy israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu is saying that protesters demanding his resignation. Are trampling on democracy thousands of israeli demonstrators of course from to step down in recent weeks this weekend saw the largest protests to date they say netanyahu has failed to handle a crowd of virus pandemic and say he should resign of a corruption charges all of which he denies that and yahoo blames and media for inciting violence. Years of. These wild and unfit incitement every day including the day before yesterday there were calls to murder the Prime Minister and his family the media is ignoring it and covering it up and the politicians. And Benjamin Netanyahu son has been issued with a restraining order after publishing the personal information of protest leaders yes netanyahu has been banned from tweeting about the activist lives Magistrates Court also ordered him to delete the tweets he had posted on thursday netanyahu published the personal addresses and phone numbers of protest leaders calling on his twitter followers to rally outside their homes mary gilbert is a journalist based in tel aviv and an adjunct fellow at the Washington Institute for near east policy says that contrary to netanyahu as claims the majority of protests as aunt father left activists. And the regular israelis on the whole left leaning but on the whole really reasonable and normal israelis who want and that there is no with a democracy in that you know who was elected by a complicated internal democratic system here i mean your 2 or 3 months ago had new unity government. Going further i think you know its not as if the numbers here are over long theres nothing but not a whole lot which remember that 9 years ago there was another protest movement in israel that got about 500000 israelis on the streets and in yahoo 9 years later still Prime Minister what the demonstration will likely do and are doing at the moment is having an impact on the overall political debate in israel so that the sense of economic drift helped drift in terms of the krona crisis a. Dysfunctional unity government that only about 2 and a half months old and on top of the demonstrations on the street clashes with police relatively low fuel clashes the clashes on the left and that feeds into a larger sense in large and the art of the netanyahu whos. At least 15 people have been killed by suspected the koran find his and a grenade attack in northern cameroon accounts of displaced people is hit in the village now got treachery in the guy district and the border with nigeria 8 of those the in git boko haram has killed 30000 people over the last decade but attacks also taking place in neighboring nigeria and chad.

Al jazeera to nasa astronauts have successfully landed off the coast of florida in a wild ocean landing in 45. 00. Oh you have your confirmation or somebody. Douglas hurley left for the International Space station 2 months ago that dragon capsule in devon launched on a falcon 9 rocket both of which were supplied by iran musks space x. It was the 1st time astronauts of success to be launched into low earth orbit on a commercial aircraft the astronauts were safely removed from the capsule more than an hour after landing when i left the control center bob and doug were doing well you know we kind of watched them in the capsule they were they were moving around and looking at displays we asked some to take a few readings to make sure the cabin was fine. We had got them out and they were going through medical checks and all indications were theyre doing well well this is the 1st ocean landing all splashdown as youve been calling it since 1975 when the apollo soyuz test project parted the u. S. And the then soviet union the u. S. Hasnt been able to complete a landing like this since 2011 when nasa retired its shuttles as endeavor pushed into earths atmosphere at one of his speeds of 28000 Kilometers Per Hour its he shield would have reached almost 2000 degrees celcius cutting off communication for 6 minutes well earlier i spoke to amy tolson whos a science journalist and she says this is just the beginning in whats going to become a booming industry. Historically you know nasa has built and constructed the vehicles that take their astronauts into space and they stopped doing that with the end of the Shuttle Program and russia was the only means for any astronauts to leave the planet well now musks space x. Is going to be one service boeing is going to come online probably later this year theyre going to complete another one crude test flight so they can begin playing astronauts next year Virgin Galactic is looking at flying astronaut so this is just the beginning and whats going to be probably a booming industry its actually going to open up a lot of different menus so when nasa was strictly reliant on russia they had you know 1. 00 to 2. 00 flights per year that were scheduled out usually in the spring time in the fall and now as more of these providers come online they will have more opportunities not only for more flights but for different types of missions so they dont have to do strictly 6 month Long Duration missions they can do 2 months they can do a year they could theres a lot of flexibility that this creates philadelphias penn museum is why do you announce for its ancient artifacts from the middle east africa and Central America now in a modern twist as it reopens off to being shot to to coronavirus its talk ites off from those places as well as Christian Sunni explains the move is drawing international attention. Thank you so much for coming as a tour guide in philadelphias penn museum youd expect mena sardar to know ancient middle eastern history but so revealing is how personally she takes her subject matter like this 4000 year old wedding headdress from the tomb of the mesopotamian queen a personal favorite this is my its me with a very very special occasion my wedding day i wore approximately 2 pounds of their gifts nearby for like. Other queen probably for one day mina is from damascus syria a refugee employed as part of the museums Global Guides Program which gives recent immigrants an opportunity to work in the u. S. And stay in touch with their roots and nino fled civil war with her husband and 5 children and arrived in philadelphia just 3 years ago dealing with artifacts from my home from the middle east im connected to my culture. Or why door open to me to share my culture the initiative involves intensive training in history and storytelling the guides come not only from the middle east but also africa and Central America and are encouraged to read their own experiences into the tour museum Officials Say its popular among visitors one of the things people told us is theyve been coming to the museum specifically to hear from these guides which in many ways makes a lot of sense all of the kind of Historical Context from it and they give you can get from wikipedia all right but you cant get anywhere else as the personal stories about whats going on in the world today in the lives of the people who are from there at least a dozen museums from around the world are now looking to set up their own global guide programs bringing modern relevance to these ancient artifacts christian salumi aljazeera. Electronic banking the Digital Economy now coronavirus means an increasingly Cashless Society is something weve been used to the notes and coins in our pockets are being rapidly replaced by Contactless Cards and mobile phone payments not everyone in england is comfortable with that Technology Paul brennan reports just now from rochford in essex where many want to stick to traditional pounds and pence. Coins and notes have been the foundation of trade for centuries so now we can market in the town of rochford is as traditional as they come my own opinion is i think we will trunk it to a slide to about fascists and i hope we dont we dont but so is what you know i dont think we can get to that. But while a decade ago 6 in 10 transactions involve cash today its less than 3 in 10 and falling rapidly. J. Mack butchers can cope with cash card and electronic that.

Residence rochford was an ideal candidate whos an access to cash pilot scheme one idea under consideration here is to set up a local finance hub Offering BankServices Without being tied to any specific bank around the community its taking ownership of this problem and providing solutions for each other we would use that. As an outlet for those services rochford the last remaining bank Branch Closed in 2017 the post office often struggles to cope the lack of access to cash was being a drain on the towns economy and then came coronavirus but the height of the pandemic here in the u. K. A. T. M. Usage collapsed by 65 percent its only just now recovered to 40 percent and the estimate is that 5 years of cash decline has been accelerated in the past 5 months what we need is everything in place to allow the recovery to be as smooth as possible and access that cash is a part of that rochford is keen to learn the lesson of sweden where a rapid switch away from accepting Cash Payments led to irreversible damage to the cash infrastructure the warning from sweden dont sleep walk into the same point of no return.
