Well never forget and forgive the still. President. The belarus Opposition Leader calls Police Violence against protesters the governments worst mistake and tells aljazeera the president must go. And russian Opposition Leader alexina valley is airlifted to germany where hes being treated for suspected poisoning. Welcome to the program the u. S. House of representatives has taken steps to block changes to the postal system that threatened mail in voting ahead of the president ial election politicians voted to give the agency 25000000000 dollars and rejected reforms that would have slowed mail delivery the fight over the Postal Service has become a key election issue democrats accuse the head of the Postal Services of trying to undermine mail delivery to benefit President Donald Trump the Postal Service had warned that they could not guarantee that ballots cast by mail would arrive in time to be counted or she able towns are caused by the following events for us from capitol hill the house approved the bill from there read and what happens next. Nothing it would appear Mitch Mcconnells already said. Of the Senate Majority leader that hes absolutely not going to introduce this bill into into the senate everyones going back on holiday the house the house is adjourned until September September the senate was already on holiday it is quite astonishing if you think about all the emergencies this country faces that everyone in congress is on is on vacation but but but no thats what nancy pelosi said earlier today the House Speaker was shes aware of that but what shes trying to do is get that pressure going and grassroots pressure there is. Around the country and republican and democrat states about what is empirically by the postoffices own numbers a slowdown in mail delivery in on time mail delivery with mail stacking up with rotting produce in sorting facilities with prescription drugs and much needed checks not being delivered and we should be clear nancy pelosi isnt just talking about the election is worrying as the ramifications for the election are with donald trump saying he doesnt seem to have a problem if the u. S. P. S. The United StatesPostal Service is sabotaged in some way by the postmaster journals reforms reforms and nancy pelosi says this is about the pandemic as well so this bill doesnt just give 25000000000 dollars to the post office but it also rolls back the changes that the postmaster general has instituted which has led to the slowdown and it prevents the postmaster general from making any further changes until next january or until the pandemic is over so this isnt just about the election its about the entire policy of the trumpet ministration towards the United StatesPostal Service and its reforms in the name of efficiency ill of course it is a it is a Crucial Institution you touched upon the several issues also you need to sort of salary checks that may get held up in an emergency medical supplies that could also be. Stuck. Its not just about mail in votes is it. Its the Postal Service is guaranteed delivery nationwide to 160000000. 00 households at a flat fee its something that only government can do you can get private enterprise to do this it is it works as a result is the most popular federal agency in the country now over 90 percent approval republicans and democrats and you mess around with it at your at your peril because its its such an Amazing Service for a very long time wall streets the one percent near liberals have long looked at this and said well we dont like government working but also we always believe in private enterprise and so so theres always been a push to privatized the Postal Service because lots of the lots of very lucrative lucrative services here amongst the you know lucrative services so what we know from this administrations own blueprint for the Postal Service is they want to privatize it now whats the whats the whats the blueprint for privatizing a federal or Government Agency where you make it as inefficient as possible so they factor theres a privatization because the Postal Service will lose customers to more Efficient Service is like Federal Express or u. P. S. But also you start chipping away at that public support by making it inefficient so thats what appears to have been appears to have been under way and now the democrats appear to realize whats on the way and are saying no you know this has to stop which is very interesting because for years the democrats have been just been very ruthless towards the Postal Service to president obama used to make white wise cracks about the Postal Service always being in trouble and was was cutting the post office as well in the name of efficiency but now whats interesting about the debate is the democrats something seem to have realized the Postal Service should be treated as a business but as a as a Public Service or perhaps there is now more weirdly with because of trump perhaps as more impetus to try and protect the Postal Service interest and see what does happen for the moment to shepherdstown thanks for joining us from washington d. C. To present him because. With west African Leaders trying to resolve a political crisis after he was ousted they tell occasional so met with the military leaders behind the coup but is adamant interest reports from both sides they have to make concessions to achieve results.

Scientists in germany are conducting an interesting experiment to investigate how krone virus could spread amongst people who attend future music concerts around 1500 volunteers attended a trial pop concert and leipsic with medical great face masks disinfectant and tracking gadgets they all had to test negative for the virus before and their movements in the arena were recorded scientists want to track the particles that spread coronavirus and highlighted which surfaces were touched most frequently on a physic is a Global Health advisor from the University College london Global Citizenship program she says the study will help get a better understanding of human behavior. We dont have very many studies that look at the nature of these interactions and what type of hygiene interventions can be introduced we have to coexist with this virus until a vaccine is developed and we need more evidence based on data to then drive the decisions that are made by governments so while there are opportunities for super spreaders to occur at Mass Gatherings what we need to start to investigate is what type of interactions are most effective in these scenarios the study will show us that. We wont be able to return fully to how our concerts and other social gatherings used to take place and in this instance people did wear face masks. At concert which which of course might make singing a little bit more difficult but in this instance it does show that we have to collect more data to predict the behaviors at which we can minimise or optimize the risk involved just saying all together that we cant progress any further will cost too much damage long term i do think that if we conduct studies safely that theres a lot that we can learn from a behavioral perspective that can and swarm individual does decisions and thats how science works we have to be able to test these theories out in a safe and controlled way officer of the world have been exploring different ways to connect with their audience during coronavirus lockdowns many have moved on line but one thing to director in mexico is taking his work to the streets heres his story in his own words.

In recent years we have had a fascination for the aesthetics of the us for months and doing this monster confinement weve managed to find how this is a sign could help us face the situation and be able to connect to the audience at a distance and protect it thats why we use the helmets. To keep. Away the performance is something very simple we see 2 human beings who meet one of them represents the arts and the other one represents the audience. We still believe in the portico idea of the pending human feelings and that the most valuable part of the theater is that synergy between humans heart to heart and ear to ear. Yes. This is a very tough time but the artists are really going to creating spring art pieces for the world. To look what i want is the audience to see all artists astronauts as heroes. And i recollect right now people are living in fear i am not afraid anymore since i started dreaming about this project and i want to instill discouraged for the people so they all come with me to the streets. And then say ok im with 2 more just many women have died and thats very painful people have died because theyve lost their jobs and thats very painful too so that hurts me. It was very beautiful that we met again for this performance this is one of those experiences that only theater in arts can give you we meet we split up for a time we me. Again im happy to see my fellow artists healthy and enthusiastic.
