Well i would like to sincerely apologize to the people of japan for leaving my post with one year left in my term of office and amid the coronavirus woes while various policies are still in the process of being implemented. Oh d 7 the foremost of the century should so our pay has told me to japans politics he comes from an influential political dynasty his grandfather was Prime Minister and his father foreign minister the conservative politician rose through the ranks of his liberal Democratic Party and became japans youngest Prime Minister since world war 2 in 2006 but thats didnt aim to the full year due to help. 5 years later he returned if his 1st term was mauled by a political inexperience the 2nd had a renewed focus on agenda. And ive been amazed that what became known as they dont mix was a series of the bishops reforms aimed at boosting japan struggling economy his vision of a well the stronger japan came with a lifelong ambition to amend the countrys pacifist constitution which bars it from hostile acts except in self defense many japanese oppose this constitution changes but he did manage to repeatedly win elections as a result of the stability that he brought the fact that hes won 6 National Elections that basically been unopposed and really has shown no sign of losing his power really up until now it is a year that japan has been well governed has been predictably and consistently govern for that period and he has managed to translate that into a much more visible role for japan in asia and globally our base trend in security entry ties with the us making japan one of its closest allies.

But if you take a look at whats going on right now even at a steady state were having between 35 and 45000 infections per day so even if things dont get worse you know you have more infections and when you have more infections you have more deaths so hopefully well be much better prepared to do 2 things to diminish the number of actual infections and by doing that to diminish the number of deaths because as you know weve been hanging around a 1000 deaths per day for quite a period of time right now weve got to get that number down and if we do then we would have many more deaths but if we dont do something about it we can continue to have that steady you know rather high number of deaths every day that weve seen over the last several weeks to several months actually and of course there is this clash isnt there between the medical advice and the economic imperatives you must be concerned about the prime the chair lifting of lockdowns leading to new outbreaks of the pandemic and resulting in more infections and sadly more deaths. Well thats really the problem that we faced in the United States you know we got hit very badly in the northeastern part of a country dominated by the new york metropolitan area which at one time during the outbreak accounted for close to 50 percent of all the infections hospitalizations and deaths as the northeastern part of the country got on the much better control as we tried to open up the country for economic reasons Southern States such as florida texas arizona and california began to have the surges that lifted our backgrounds from 20000 cases a day up to as high as 70000 now as i mentioned were back down to somewhere between 35 and 45000 cases our concern right now is that there are other regions of the country particularly the midwest in which this ng clings of the same problem namely as you try to open up the country if you dont do it in a careful measured way now france has reported of a 7300 new coronavirus cases up from more than 6000 reported on thursday present an annual macron says his government is doing Everything Possible to avoid another nationwide lockdown wearing a face masks is mandatory in the capital paris the estimated rate of infection in the country has quadrupled over the past month the hospitalizations and deaths remain relatively low and the government is sticking to plans to reopen all schools starting on cheese day countries so far posted nearly 300000 cases and of 30000 deaths. Good. For you kiddies off for now country needs to educate children treat the most Vulnerable People who have Health Conditions to be strong to continue to move forward to build its future therefore we need to learn to live with the virus like you i dont like wearing a mask we must learn to live with it its uncomfortable with annoying for us let me put a little social distancing is not natural its not a male custom but i think it is a reasonable constraint that we must accept for a certain time. Well hundreds of mass protest as a ride across india to voice their anger over a government plan to hold exams for millions of students demonstrations happened as india recorded its highest single day rise in corona virus cases yet at over 77000. 00 country is the 3rd worst affected in the world with well over 3300000. 00 infections ili half of indias total cases were detected this month alone as testing was ramped up more than 61 and a half 1000 people have died off to contract in covert 19 in india or now west African Leaders have agreed that malis Transitional Government must be led by a civilian and it should last no longer than 12 months members of the eco last group held a summit on friday to discuss malis future and whether to lift sanctions regional books suspended the country from its institutions shop orders and stop Financial Transactions following last weeks removal of president abraham boubacar kaita kool aid as released kater on thursday of course weve been following developments around alexina valmy very closely and germany is now saying its ready to impose diplomatic sanctions against russia if its proven that he was poisoned as part of a state initiated murder attempt he is still in a coma after he fell ill on a flight from siberia to moscow last week but doctors a hospital where he is recovering say his condition is improving the 44 year old remains in an intensive care unit on a ventilator.

Well now chiles president Sebastian Pinera has gone to the tip of south america to announce the enactment of an antarctic statute which he says will reinforce the countrys antarctic destinies he put it this effort to stake sovereignty of our part of the antarctic peninsula follows new claims by argentina of the areas that chile and the u. K. Consider part of their expansion into the frozen continent a latin america and italy seen human explains this now from santiago. This is antarctica according to the antarctic treaty signed in 1961 by 54 countries its a continent to be used only for scientific purposes and that it belongs to no one. Nevertheless this week chiles president of us dumping it i went to the southernmost tip of the country to announce that he was in acting and then to arctic statute recently approved by congress. But today we are taking an important step to strengthen better protect and defend the vocation and destiny that chile has had since its inception we reaffirm our rights our sovereignty and our presence over the white continent. Speaking from the magellan streets near the city of that in us which is described as the gateway to antartica yet it was seen to be responding to argentinas desire to expand its antarctic platform beyond 200 miles this would conflict with the interests of both chile and Great Britain all 3 countries claim sovereignty on overlapping parts of antarctica. How is this possible if no one is supposed to own it. To put it simply chilly hodge and tina stralia new zealand and france excepted to put their claims are not as it were but they have never renounced the claims of sovereignty when they signed the antarctic treaty and so far theres been no problem. Chile has 9 antarctic bases 4 of which have a permanent presence including families and church and the post office nearby there are russian and chinese scientific basis in practice sovereignty isnt really an issue as long as the antarctic treaty is respected but many countries not just chile want to demonstrate that they were there 1st as a kind of color is ation just in case things should change there is this notion that. It is a fool continent of resources that could eventually be explored it. One day finally the treaty is broken you would have you were going to actually you know that your are pretty now conflicting claims are limited to diplomatic spats paradoxically chile and argentina a cooperating to convince signatories to form a marine protected area around the antarctic peninsula only russia and china are opposed to the idea of declaring the seas around the antarctic off limits to human exploitation you see in human aljazeera santiago now a mother and her baby of the latest dolphins to be found dead off the coast of the russia and the areas affected by an oil spill 40 dolphins have now died in the area and environmentalist urging urgently seeking an explanation if the oil spill was caused by a japanese ship which hit a coral reef on the 25th of july and started to spill oil about a week later scientists have one about a major ecological disaster in the area that could have an impact for decades to come.
