Throughout the crisis far right president also narrow has repeatedly flouted social distancing rules at one point joining an anti lock down rally. The group behind this protest see he has a risk to Public Health and left the country my old and death and Division Tension spelled out on the real sea front was one man knocking down the installation. Will be like obama my son died from this virus at 25 years of age and this guy is planning a round with a new sense of respect for those who are protesting that there needs to be respect to get the beaches public and protesters have rights to a coup press thats not true theres nobody tolerate start anymore causing terror thats terror that silliness is ok. While. The makeshift graveyard was meant to harm a home the human cost of this pandemic in doing so it exposed the deep rests in a country polarized over its leadership. Well its a pandemic takes its toll on the Global Economy the un is warning that millions of children are at risk of being pushed into underage labor the situation is already dire in the Central African republic where extreme poverty means children undertake dangerous and exploitive work to support their families. While that day that we still living is old and is a waiter in this restaurant in benghazi because people of the Central African republic that we and his mother fled the war in bunbury in 2017 he works here for 9 hours a day every day for a salary of just 350. 00 francey a faith thats a little less than a year a day i can see my father was killed my mother is very ill that. I go out to get money so we can buy medicine for my mother so we can treat her and so that we can buy food for us selves. According to the lookout enjoy up on some front here there are more than 600000 children in distress all over the country following the conflicts says 2013 however like many of these children that we situation remains problematic they finally thank our country is a poor theres no one to help this child we teaching him how to earn money so he can take care of himself in future if we leave him stranded rebels could come and persuade him to join their ranks to earn some money thats why were helping him and money i dont find anything wrong in that. And if i biggest lie with. They have to please the local n. G. O. S making an awareness raising and Community Communication campaign a priority market. I understand you want to help him get some stability but hes too young and his future would be better he gets to school im not here. In this neighborhood many under aged children who cannot be looked after by the families are taken advantage of by businesspeople. There is a lack of Awareness Among recruit as. Well being this little boy. We make a commitment to follow this child on till we can remove him and get him to school. The Central African republic of one of the highest rates of child level in the world the situation is precarious and is linked to the countrys ability nevertheless Child Protection organizations are trying to address all forms of child abuse in the country. Now some countries worry about a 2nd wave of the pandemic many parts of the globe still havent seen the worst of the 1st outbreak they w. Correspondents have filed these reports the peak of the pandemic in south africa is yet to come the country had a Strict Lockdown in the early stage of the pandemic to prepare the Health Sector but although the lockdown has been relaxed theres still a lot to do let me give you one example if youre going to corona virus test in south africa at the moment you will need up to 2 weeks until you get your results this is why the authorities in the western cape here have decided youre only allowed to take a coronavirus test in Public Health facilities if you pass the age of 55. 00 or have another disease and you have symptoms by the end of the year experts believe they could be up to 1000000 corona virus case this year and south africa and their authority you see on the western cape are considering adding another 800 beds in the Conference Center behind me. In dr overall coming out of the. But the corona water situation is worsening the parts he lives we had been seeing a daily reported spike of 1000. 00 cases the Public Health care system is over with crest already the death valley is also increasing and while the government says that they are prepared enough have been multiple reports of people not being able to get deficit on time or find a hospital bed on time with the kids with climbing everything will be it looks like the earth is not over yet for india. I live around the corner from one of the largest hospitals in london in the u. K. The big Green Building at the end of this right at the height of the crisis is it seemed like the silence never stopped as hundreds and hundreds of patients were brought in ambulances now its much quieter and yet the u. K. Has the highest death rate of coronavirus in europe and many people mistrust the governments handling of the crisis so im not the only one who fears that there might be another spike and that the sirens may once more be the dominating sound in my neighborhood. Not for United States where president a trump is authorized sanctions against stuff of the International Criminal court who are investigating possible u. S. War crimes in afghanistan United States is not a signatory to the courts charter and then italia action for the inquiry the Administration Says it will block the assets of Court Employees involved and impose visa restrictions on them on their families an Anti Corruption investigation into the course itself is also said to be in the works u. S. Secretary of state mike pompei o. Port scorn on the i. C. C. So thora he and issued this warning to other countries we cannot we will not stand by as our people are threatened by a Kangaroo Court and indeed i have a message to many close allies around the world your people could be next especially those from nato countries who fight terrorism in afghanistan right alongside of us. As a lead lawyer for a Nongovernmental Organization conducting criminal investigations of atrocity crimes welcome to w. What effects are these sanctions likely to have on i. C. C. Investigators well 1st off thanks for having me here i think that some background is necessary and it is a very sad day for the United States and its leadership role in International Law that the Trump Administration would take the steps of the u. S. Since nuremberg and through tribunals for sarah leone cambodia yugoslavia and rwanda has been the real leader in this field and even the u. S. I. C. C. Relationship has been more or less a positive with some low points but across ministrations be it republican or democratic mistress and the relationship has moved forward and theres been even in the lowest points of the Bush Administration there was collaboration between the u. S. And the i. C. C. Ok so say that forgive me for interrupting but time is against us so its a bit odd that weve got here what effect to these sanctions likely to have yet the law with respect to investigators and lawyers and other professions the work of the court this isnt going to change the very much the United States is not going to be allowing. I. C. C. Officials into the country or other things within its jurisdiction however this executive order does have an impact on victims rights lawyers and 9 governmental organizations that maybe have assisting the court particularly including. Investigations in taleban Islamic State crimes so what sort of alleged u. S. War crimes in afghanistan is the i. C. C. Looking at. The alleged crimes i would put into 2 for lack of better word buckets one is detainee abuses that would have happened in u. S. Facilities in afghanistan again i cannot stand for your viewers is a i. C. C. State party and then the other bucket would be allegations in regards to the Rendition Program or individuals may have been taken out of afghanistan and taken to other i. C. C. State parties namely rome out of romania poland and i believe those may be correct on that ok so given that the i. C. C. Hows no jurisdiction over the United States what is it hoping to achieve with this investigation well i would question until a slightly a little bit more nuanced because the u. S. Nationals and others were were on afghan state and there is jurisdiction over nationals of foreign governments they were in afghanistan. Part is a mention. Is a clear line and just. In terms of leverage most importantly its just a do professional investigation and proper job and getting to the truth of the matter and the court is doing that and its quite well. However to your point is that there are 123. 00 state parties and sort of and they have a legal obligation to cooperate with the court and that includes almost all of us alibis in europe and in south america in other places as well and in a majority of africa so there is some leverage the court would have good talking to you thank you for explaining that to us across the crimes law. Thank you very much. Now well take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world well sources in london have covered up a statue of water time leader Winston Churchill and other monuments protesters applauding a 2nd consecutive weekend if im to vases and demonstrations recent black lives matter rallies have targeted memorials to britains imperial and colonial past. Britains economy shrank by a record 28. 4 percent in april and is now in its deepest recession for decades the shop dropped reflects the impact of the countrys covered 19 lockdown. Meanwhile germanys government says its 130000000000 euros stimulus package should help stave off a 2nd wave of the virus and help the economy to recover in the 2nd half of this year the measures include a 300 euro per child Family Credit and a cut in sales taxes. Protesters of saffar to Lebanon Central Bank as the currency plunges to a record lows demonstrators took to the streets in several cities 11 is experiencing its worst economic turmoil for decades a crisis worsened by the pandemic. And to syria where president assad has fired his Prime Minister the move against him out economists comes against the background of a deepening economic crisis in a country torn by years of civil war this is brought to protesters out onto the streets calling for president assad to go they blame him for rising prices of plummeting syrian pounds and the difficulties in making ends meet. I. Syrians back on the streets calling for the end of Bashar Al Assads regime career site in recent years after a violent crackdown on cue such protests in 2011 triggered civil war so they dont have a government controlled city in southern syria hadnt seen unrest in the conflict but this week dozens of people. Have been demonstrating lately in the regime for the countrys deteriorating economy and the collapse of its currency. The syrian pound has plunged dramatically since the start of the conflict reaching new lows this week. People across the country are reeling from the crisis. The drop in the syrian pound is killing us we dont have any dollars we earn syrian pounds the syrian pound has fallen and the dollar is getting more expensive its killing us oil is getting expensive what used to be 500 syrian pounds is now 3500 no one can afford to live. On thursday assad removed Prime Minister emerge khamis who had held the post since 2016 see media didnt give a reason for his departure but he has been the focus of criticism over the countrys economic crisis a crisis that could be exacerbated by a new u. S. Sanctions set to come into effect later this month they target any country or company that does business with the syrian regime. The aim is to erode assads power but critics fear the sanctions could cause serious battered population to suffer further. So. Welcome to you so we have reports economic sanctions against the country and of course facing. Is this whats behind the economic collapse. To be honest i think its a bit of a perfect storm bringing together on go and economic pressures from the United States in the socalled seas or act crises in lebanon which is pretty prevented the flow of capital across the border from lebanon into syria ongoing conflict thats been going for for 9 years now the cost of rebuilding the state the cost of post conflict reconstruction even though the conflict still still is happening and then prior to the conflict of course there were a whole host of serious Economic Issues and Environmental Issues that had serious economic repercussions that havent probably been result as yet so theres a lot of latent structural issues that have been bubbling away erupting in violence in the civil war but have not been resolved as yet and so what was the president looking to gain from firing his Prime Minister or some really good question because it doesnt seem to be that the Prime Minister was responsible for all that much in terms of broader policy decisions we know that the president bashar assad is the one ultimately responsible so perhaps hes looking for a scapegoat perhaps hes trying to create an opportunity to to rebuild the Political Alliance around him see felt insulted by by the actions of his Prime Minister has a whole host of possible possible reasons that we dont exactly know us yet but i would i would suggest that this is an effort to try and put cakes some of the demands of the protesters to say that the president is doing something right albeit far from enough to seriously address their concerns but now we see protesters back on the streets a street does appear to be repeating itself it was protest against the president that sparked the civil war 9 years ago is seen any real danger. Yeah youre right to say there is a certain symmetry to things lets not forget that the syrians are incredibly weary theyre worn out due to the conflict but they are committed to wanting change to him wanting improvements to their lives theyre hungry thousands hundreds of thousands of food in secure they need to have a. Political change and but the thing that really poses a threat to the assad regime and the thing that will be worrying him and others in is this is caught by. The lack of support apparently from. Russia and from iran whove been dealt quiet and there have been longstanding grew most about concerns that pride in moscow will be moving away from assad and if thats the case then by shadow assad has a lot to worry about because without those external backers he would not have been able to survive for this long fascinating thank you for outlining that for us dr simon mabe from lancaster university. A backlash against a Popular Video conferencing companies sume continues following its decision to were temporarily closed the account of a prominent chinese prodemocracy group and an interview with d. W. The groups founder chinese dissident issue and so accuses the us the Us Based Tech Company of yielding to pressure from beijing is teachers account was suspended after his Group Humanitarian china held a Virtual Meeting to mark the 31st anniversary of the taliban square massacre critics say the move is another example of beijing attempting to limit free speech. D. W. Reporter and to be howard kurtz walk us through more of this welcome on today so. Outline the sequence of events for us rights Group Humanitarian china they are based in the us and i felt by that qualify them for the same rights to free speech as any other group in the us i was shocked when zim suspended its account after it held a virtual commemoration for what happened in Tiananmen Square in 19 and in another video were going to take a look at as well known across the world of what happened on june 4th not imagine on that avoiding conversation as to what happened in ghana men has been a constant battle for china internally whereas outside of china what happened there has been held up as as a landmark a grim one of the evils of authoritarianism now my reference that 2 days ago in reference to where you cleared the park of protesters outside the white house you were 33 and they said well now Tiananmen Square is what authoritarianism hundreds injured hundreds killed if not thousands that is one of 3 terrorism is now to move this story for we spoke to the man behind the commemoration who was one of those who was in jail after Tiananmen Square hes a prominent dissident joe from seoul now he came to america in 95 after being let out of jail he was the man behind the commemoration. We asked him about his reaction to zones move and this is what he had to say this. As. Well. So thats why hes d. Why. So answer me what is zoom saying zoom is issued a statement defending the move by saying that it must comply with the laws in which it operates and this is where it gets tricky of the 250 people who were on that call many of them in china like a mother whose child was killed during the mass aurora massacre hasnt been seeing since not in 99 and for many of those attending that Virtual Meeting they have not heard details of what happened on that day so you can understand why this event was perceived as a threat by beijing and why beijing than it had pressure on soon to come to enforce its own policy which is if youre on one of these calls you have to comply with local local local laws rather zoom is since reactivated the account that the the anger very much from locals is not the 1st time china has been accused of trying to impose censorship on a Foreign Organization now we think google and project dragonfly which was a Search Engine built for chinas view on what a Search Engine should be it went for 2 years googles efforts and i shut it down last year and then companies on top of that like Facebook Twitter and you tube are all blocked in china zoom and its chinese american owner says it wants to remain in business in china but this is all to say the question is asked do you want the billions of people in the potential billions of dollars and with that you lose that right to privacy and potentially. Rather information. Thank you thankful.
