The melrose Opposition Leaders says Police Violence against protesters was the governments biggest mistake and tells this channel the president must go plus. Im wayne hay reporting from chiang mai in northern thailand where well tell you why an old protest movement may be about to hit the streets again. India has now confirmed more than 3000000 cases of corona virus after recording more than 70000 new infections in a single day that country is leading the world in the number of new cases covered 19 is spreading through rural areas across the country especially in the north india has the 3rd highest number of infections after the United States and brazil elizabeth urana is in new delhi with more. We are seeing the virus move from the really big policy incentives like mumbai in mumbai is no longer the worst affected spot in maharashtra delhi is no longer you know one of the worst affected cities and we are really seeing it move from places like mumbai delhi chennai to more rural areas and that is the concern as the virus moves from cities that have the best Health Care Infrastructure in the country to parts of the country that have very poor public Health Care Infrastructure now another problem with the numbers is not just that india is the 3rd worst affected country in the world it is that the logical surveys that are being done around the country show that the real number of cases is many times the confirmed number nonetheless the government when ever they talk about the situation in the country they are always positive we heard from the Health Minister on saturday and he spoke about how he actually said india has the best recovery rate in the world that 75 percent of people who had coronavirus in india have recovered and he said that only 1. 8 percent of people whove had coronavirus have actually died from from the virus the rest currently have it but again the government is often quotes these numbers but the problem with them is that the syria logical survey showed a different picture 2 of the results of these surveys who released over the past week and they showed that one of them in the city of poor may thats in maharashtra that more than 50 percent of population of 6000000 people have antibodies so just in one city alone more than 3000000 people the survey would suggest had coronavirus. Is from the sense of social medicine and community health. Never going to burst he says there is now a need for an improved plan to curb the spread of coronavirus. Underside of concern 2 things one that its increasingly spreading to smaller towns and villages. The public and services certainly vico relatively speaking. As well as the fact that though on the aggregate tests have gone up. In terms of tests per 1000000 population india is still a lot behind comparable country in fact its the brics nations all other testing great for the u. S. And u. K. India is certainly putting in a lot of emphasis on testing however whats also true is that the instrument prescription resources need to be augmented a lot more to make Testing Available to instill greater confidence in the public and system so that people who come forward didnt even relatively minor symptoms and get tested and the other thing thats really crucial for containing from here on is the extent to which people. Practices and certainly enhance preventive behavior such as monsters such as distancing as unlock gets into new only are areas in other words as newer newer sectors of the economy open up that the Indian Health authorities central state as well as local part is certainly in harness the Research Going to get started is and greater degrees of very Sensitive Community engagement.

Its americas favorite Government Service my far the u. S. Postal service that is until recently louis to joy a trunk donor and loyalist was put in charge just about 2 months ago and quickly made changes to the financially unstable Service Medal boxes removed high speed sorting machines ripped out procedures changed over time stopped for money and as a result the mail has slowed considerably he blames a lack of staff because of the coronavirus democrats dont believe him just this week i heard from a good stitch with diabetes who feared her family was at risk of losing their insurance after learning her payment had arrived a month late after it was mailed her story is sadly one of many being heard across the nation official post office data. These new documents show that the delays we have all heard about are actually far worse for their part republicans say its not a problem nancy pelosi goes politicly postal and that is the reason we are here today for phony political theater to once again bash president charm just in time for this sunday talk shows and the Republican National convention the bill is passed so now the house has voted to reverse joyce changes and give the post office 25000000000. 00 the reason this is in such a political importance is because of the upcoming election because of the pandemic for the 1st time more than 3 quarters of americans will be allowed to vote by mail but the post office is warning the vast majority of states that they cannot guarantee that those ballots will be delivered in time to be counted the republican leader of the senate says he is unlikely to take up the bill the house leader thinks that will change theyll be hearing from their constituents because this hits home not receiving your mail on a timely fashion hits home not receiving your prescription is actually for our veterans hits home in a way that is harmful to our country as well there is more on the line than missed mail this could call into question whether they can deliver a free and Fair Election political gain aljazeera washington.

More antigovernment protests are expected in thailand after weeks of student led rallies calling for elections and a new constitution and despite a state of emergency in place to control the spread of coronavirus and a recent crackdown on government critics wayne hay explains calling for political change is coming at a cost for many protest leaders in thailand here in the Northern City of lumpur 2. 00 students were among the latest to be ordered to report to Police Charges against them for their part in organizing a peaceful rally. But i feel like thailand is becoming a country that takes away peoples rights its honestly shocking whats concerning about this situation is the fact that a country that claims to be democratic is trying to stop students expressing their opinions. This student led Antigovernment Movement has spread to many parts of the country including the north and northeast traditional strongholds of a group known as the red shirts that staged large rallies in the capital bangkok in 2010 that ended in a violent military crackdown that been largely quiet in recent years but as the momentum of the current protests grows red shirt leaders in the north of fixing their loudspeakers and entering the fray power with the direction students are going these protests have more power than before because everyone is coming together it isnt just red shirts or adults or people who follow politics. The protesters want a different more Democratic Political system from the one that allowed the army general who led a coup in 2014 to stay on as Prime Minister after last years election but they also want to change an Economic System that has helped to make thailand one of the most unequal countries in the world which is being highlighted and made worse by the coronavirus pandemic the city of chiang mai in the north relies heavily on International Tourism and is being hit harder than most. The protest movement is already showing signs of spreading way beyond just students and the city probably encapsulates the threat that poses to the government most people here have never supported this government and now many are hurting economically. Despite all the arrests and charges against protest leaders they say they wont be deterred and will continue fighting for a better future. And i just had a hung fear can only be used once or twice theres been many cases where they tried to report the protestors but at the end of the day after everyone is over that fear it becomes a catalyst to come out more and go against the government. Apart from arresting and charging leaders the government and police havent tried to stop the protests yet but as the Movement Grows and becomes more diverse intensifying the pressure on the government that approach may change soon wayne hay Al Jazeera Chiang Mai thailand still to come here on this program im malcolm webb in a tea plantation in kenyas highlands more than 60 years ago british colonialists forced the local people off this land to make space for it to be speaking to the few that still survive about their fight for justice.

Is already japans longest serving Prime Minister has become the leader with the most consecutive days in office mr abbott came to power in 2012 promising to revitalize the economy and change his countrys pacifist constitution but as rob mcbride explains he may not have achieved everything he promised. When he became Prime Minister in 2012 shinzo of a was no stranger to the office hed already held the post for a year in 2006 during japans socalled revolving door premiership period when factionalism within the ruling party led to a rapid turnover in leaders by 2012 that period was over offering the chance to rule uninterrupted ive been amazed that i will increase jobs and incomes and revitalize the countryside he promised aiming to transform japans stagnating economy with his own brand of banal mix 80 years on the results are still disappointingly mixed and he cannot say the economy has to. Be on a good situation so i think the abingdon me.

Really diminished leader and much weaker it is legacy looks to be in tatters they can blame a degree of bad fortune for a tanishq legacy but when he leaves office the fact that he served longer than any other Prime Minister might be the one achievement hes most remembered for Robert Bright aljazeera.
