A massive door to do so the exercise has been launched in delhi for its entire population of about 20000000 residents. The State Government is aiming to record the Health Details of each and every household to deal with the spread of collaborators. The move has come after weeks of scrambling from measures by the state and the National Government to avoid a Major Health Care disaster in the capital city which has now become the worst hit in the country even the government is nor you know sure. So im a little scared but regard. Earlier we could step out a little at least to buy essential some groceries but now were worried that if we step out at all we may get infected as part of a strategy to handle the spread of the Delhi Government is taking a range of measures they include increased testing and Contact TracingAntibody Testing developing a Platform Bank and providing. The government simultaneously is trying to ramp up its Health Care Infrastructure the daily testing for coverage 1000 has increased significantly the State Government says that it is now conducting 20000 tests every day apart from plans to start rapid and teaching testing which allows for faster diagnosis of samples regular testing camps are also being set up especially in coronavirus for sports known as Containment Zones. Some kandahar one of the lead largest and most crowded informal settlements has several Containment Zones the new testing camps there have already started making a difference. Fasting during the past week testing has increased many positive cases are getting detected earlier the testing wasnt so regular now its daily some 200. 00 people are tested at each camp youre dealing anybody testing positive immediately taken to makeshift quarantined centers.

Authorities in myanmar say at least 100. 00 people have died in a landslide at the jade mine it happened after heavy rains hit the region and north of the north of the country barrie and workers under a wave of mob scores more entrapped its one of the worst accidents to hit the region in years. And more on that lets bring in dave brown hes a journalist based in asia who has reported from me on my 4 years there are reports that people have been warned because of heavy rainfall was expected what can you tell us. You know even when the weather conditions are great this is still a dangerous business but in this case you know this is the rainy season where storms are common but the thing here is that these people these are desperate poor people desperate for money we should point out that reportedly these were not the people actually work for the Mining Companies these are the scavengers who come in after the Mining Company leaves piles of waste and then these people go through it to see if theres any j. That was left over and sometimes they do find some j. They got missed by the Mining Companies and get quite a bit of money from out on occasion so these are the scavengers looking for that theyre desperate theyre poor and thats why even poor weather conditions are not going to stop them as long as they can get access to the sites theyll keep doing it out of desperation well be that as it may but this is not the 1st accident in a mine why doesnt happen so often. Yeah i mean a year ago we had more than 50 people die in a mining accident me and mar about 5 years ago we had more then a 100 and 1st off what it is is that this is a massive industry officially a few years ago meum are estimated at about 17050000000 2717050 1000000 dollars assuming 750000000. 00 but. Experts on this have studied this and said that its worth more than 30000000000. 00 a year and a mining cut the captains of this industry they have close ties to the military which is the most powerful institution in the country these people theres nothing to really give them the incentive to make it safer particularly for the scavenger theres a lot of money flowing through a lot of hands here with this industry and you know theres nothing been done to really make it safe for these companies are not under pressure to keep scavengers from getting access to the sites afterwards so there is no incentive for them to do that you said the companies are pretty close to the military very powerful institution is the government doing about. It well when aung sang suu kyi a Nobel Peace Prize winner front won her part of the africa to mock recy came in in 2016 to control the civilian side of government we should make it clear the civilian side has no control over the military but when she came in the control the civilian side her party said they were going to clean this industry up that was more than 4 years ago and little to nothing is actually happened on the ground to make it any safer thank you very much dave the journalist based in the asia. A Turkish Court has been decided today whether one of its stumbles most iconic buildings should become a mosque again the centuries old high as the fia is a unesco World Heritage site that has been a church a mosque and is now a museum but with nationalist groups demanding it be open for islamic prayers critics say it has become a political instrument for president obama. Empires have fallen religions have been replaced the city itself has changed names but the dome of the high yes the fia has withstood a whole built in the 6th century as a byzantine church it was for centuries the Worlds Largest christian cathedral almost a millennium later it was converted into an islamic mosque during the awesome an empire. But in the 1930 s. It was turned into a museum under the founder of the modern turkish republic ataturk a symbol of the new secular state inclusive of all religions. Since then it has been a Meeting Point of many faiths but held by none a place where popes and president s have come to pay their respects and marvel at the architecture. The religion is a tool for president richard type of on he has overseen prayers in the museum and raised its status at local election rallies. I also feel he says over the divinity as you know they converted the highest sophia from a mosque to a museum a while ago. Now we hope to be able to call it a mosque again after the election. Of the. Islamic groups have fought to pray at the highest the fia angering neighboring greece which says the building is part of its author docs christian history unesco has warned turkey its conversion to a mosque could violate the world Cultural Heritage convention. A flashpoint of religious and National Struggle whatever its future the highest the fear will remain an icon of istanbul. And standing by in front of the high as a fear itself is on the. Tell us about the importance of this building and whats at stake today with the courts decision. Well just standing here right in front of the iosif ia looking at it it really is an architectural mosque a piece with an incredibly interesting history a cultural landmark for both christians and muslims and it attracted a nearly 4000000 visit is last year and these are probably reasons why there is always so much attention especially from abroad whenever there is a debate here in turkey about this buildings future and there have been many such debates in the past now today turkeys top administrators chord reviewed another challenge to the i. S. O. Fias Museum Status it was brought forward by a Turkish Association that claims there is a problem with the legality of the 934 document by which it was turned into a museum by turkey state found a most. They say theres something wrong with that document it needs to be ruled invalid now as we learned from turkish media reports the Court Earlier in the morning had a short session and came up with a verdict but they wont announce the verdict today but say they will publish a written statement sometime within the next 15 days now there is a lot of speculation why they dont make their decision public but what i can tell you is for sure this debate surrounding the argus afia will continue it will go on but lets talk more about the politics of this president is a conservative muslim himself he supports plans to change the status to a mosque why is that important. Well you could also argue that already has more than 3000. 00 mosques including many representative one so the city doesnt need another mosque but its not about this the ioseph is the ultimate symbol of the muslim autumn and conquests of christian constantinople and ad one knows that he is known as a politician who uses religion as a nationalist symbolism to draw support from his conservative voters why is this issue coming out now many critics say hes trying to divert attention from other pressing issues the Coronavirus Crisis has hit the turkish economy hard his Approval Ratings including those of his partys have dropped so the highest afia from that perspective says its a somewhat like a political joke a cod add on plays from time to time well if they change the status into international reaction. Well that would be hugely controversial its safe to expect a lot of criticism from the Orthodox Church from greece or russia yesterday u. S. Secretary of state mike compare who has urged turkey to maintain the Museum Status here of the fia he called it a place that is considered a bridge between cultures and religion so a transformation of the museum into a mosque would certainly come with a lot of risks especially on the International Level it might held help out on domestically for a certain time it might be somewhat like a triumph yet domestically but internationally this could turn into a problem for him. Thank you. And to sporting history now a name youre unlikely to have heard of but maybe shouldve jack leslie nearly 100 years ago each should have been englands 1st black football until recently very few of them heightened awareness of Racial Injustice has forced many including english football to take a closer look at racism for. A campaign to honor what would have been englands 1st black player jackie as he was caught up to the National Team in 1025 but its believed that when members of the f. 18 English Football Association saw that he was black the invitation was dropped for his family the exposure is long overdue and i just hope that a lot more stories of people you know and how they were treated also come out as a feeling that synonymous with f one of the black community in any one is mixed race a feeling of being left out or not picked for example hes it was a great football for him a fog or they picked in the. England it was a bit too much for some legs he went on to have a successful career with English Football Club plymouth argyle in the 1920 s. And thirtys. Now the cup and its fans want to honor his legacy if theyre set up a crowd trying to raise around 100000 euros in order to build a statue of him. Recognition not just are going to be great sprays here are secure greater the shorter term struck to the credit 137. 00 goes for its much of a statement of scripts attitude to his racism. An attitude that in football isnt moving fast enough it would take another 53 years until good anderson became in an suppressed black player in 1978 making the story of jackie as he is the on her black trainee blazer all the more important in the fight against racism.
