Some of the scenes youve just been looking at are reminiscent of what we saw a year ago but this was not on the scale of the protests of last september or ghost or june effectively what has happened here today as the police have managed to block a large planned demonstration and they did that by flooding the streets of the cow lupin instead area of nathan road up to 2000 police were deployed now that didnt stop small groups of people mingling with shoppers and chanting slogans in support of hong kong independence why does that matter well those actions that contravene the new National Security lorem people who are doing not of course risk arrest as for what the demonstrators themselves feel theyve achieved well we saw plenty of individual acts of defiance on sunday and yes a lot of the protests to say our ability to stage large demonstrations have been curtailed but you know our voice has not been entirely silenced the reason why there was there was anger on sunday is this was supposed to be the day that the people of hong kong went to the polls but the government cancel those elections citing coded 19 but opposition groups say the reason why the Government Council the elections is because it knew that the pro establishment parties would face a severe drubbing as they did during the local elections 10 months ago.

Coronavirus news now in india has once again reported the worlds highest single day tally of new infections on sunday there were more than 90000 new cases the death toll has now surpassed 70000 but the government saying these rises are because of increased testing more than 4000000 people in india have now tested positive for covert 19 i spoke to. Earlier who is director of the center for disease dynamics economics and policy its a u. S. Based Research Organization and he actually thinks indias true number of infections is likely much higher. So donna do studies in india indicate that were probably undercounting cases by a factor of anywhere but the d n a 100 perhaps even more and keep in mind that the 4000000 cases that you see are reported cases these are not the true infections the prevalence of these would indicate that were well about you know one of the people 100000000 infections true infections right now because most of the surveys show that anywhere between 20 and 30 percent of indians are already infected everyone knows that there are reported infections which is what you see in the media and reported by governments or the little Infection Group which is a function of you know many people getting infected and keep in mind the predictions we need for a situation where nothing would happen as a baseline but in spite of that we are already in the hundreds of millions of infections and i think at this point its hard to put the genie back in the bottle pretty much uncontrolled epidemic at this point and the Health System the public Health System which is what is meant to test and i simply you know was hobbled by not having it not testing early on in the epidemic so thats been a continuing problem india now has more than a 1000000 tests but many of these are and to do tests which are not very accurate now the Health Care System has been challenged in the urban areas. Diseases now in many parts of india where there are not hospitals or not private Health Care Facilities and its truly a challenge here because its an invisible epidemic there are people dying but theyre not getting counted or reported at this point in plain. Medical School Graduates doctors nurses theyve all protested in iraqs capital over a lack of covert 19 proportions and a lack of jobs iraq is witnessing a surge of new covered 9000 cases there was a record 5000 infections on friday the Health Ministry says hospitals are on the verge of losing control with these rising. With more from baghdad. There are over 31000 Health Care Professional graduates who are not or at the moment and this is because the government does not have enough money to bring them into the workforce and the ones that are working in hospitals have said that their working conditions are so dire at the moment that they are threatening to go on strike in the coming days there is right now about 30000 doctors in the entire country that is one doctor for just about 1250 people and what is even more astonishing is that there are graduates sitting at home but the government says they dont have enough money to bring them back in to the workforce in the they are sitting at home the grouches saying that they are waiting to do their residency if they dont have the appropriate documentation to be able to even leave iraq to work as doctors elsewhere in the world this is a situation that is just getting worse with the pandemic and the numbers continue to increase and the ones that are at work now say they are not only facing. Issues in the hospitals not enough p. P. S. But theres also their safety when it comes to dealing with family members of the people that pass away from coal but theres been a number of attacks on doctors and Health Care Professionals in the country with many victims the families of victims saying that the doctors havent done enough the doctors say that the government needs to protect them more and the Prime Minister himself has said that there are laws in place to protect doctors theyre just not being in force so the situation is just getting worse day by day and if the remaining doctors do make good on their promise and they go on strike it is really going to be catastrophic for the country.
