A petition against the Coalition Deal between rivals turned partners. Also the u. N. Warns of the dangers of misinformation countries fight coronavirus a World Press Freedom day insists that journalists have a crucial role. And the u. S. Considers retaliation against china over the handling of the pandemic. Good to have you with us and welcome to the news our afghanistan is bracing for a much higher rate of infection from coronavirus random testing in the capital kabul suggests a 3rd of its 4000000 residents could be infected and the country risks a diplomatic crisis with neighbor iran after dozens of afghan migrants were reportedly beaten tortured and left for dead while trying to cross over the border allegations that iran has denied a warning that alexey obriens report contains some disturbing images from the beginning. They left their homes in search of opportunity in iran instead witnesses say they were killed their final moments terrifying. The Iranian Border guards 1st beat us then made us do hard work then they took us by minibus near the river and when we got there they threw us into the river some afghan migrants are said to have drowned in the river that flows between iran and afghanistan their distraught relatives and the Afghan Government want says. My brothers ventry iran 30 days ago yesterday we heard that the very ground the iranians do with included evil and threw them into the water Irans Foreign Ministry has denied the allegations and says the incident happened inside afghanistan it could trigger a diplomatic crisis between the 2 countries at a time when the coronavirus pandemic has seen an exodus of afghan migrants leaving iran and returning home at least 265000 afghans have crossed back from around this year some blame them for bringing in the virus iran has the regions worst outbreak but despite this some afghans continue to look for a better life theyre trying to escape conflict and poverty decades of war have left afghanistans Health System woefully unprepared for a major outbreak of the virus. There are about 3000. 00 confirmed cases here but its feared the virus is spreading fast after random testing in kabul suggested a 3rd of the people in the capital could be infected my assumption from conviction is that we have way more than that people who are suffering with people who are not going to. Voluntarily give their tasks for testing because they dont trust the government infrastructure and theres not much the government can do if its by the government to persuade people to maintain social distance havent been entirely successful partly blamed on low rates of literacy in a densely packed city activists warn of a horrific human tragedy in afghanistan if the virus becomes widespread to some trying to escape the countrys problems has proven just as deadly brian al jazeera but spain and italy have recorded the lowest daily increase in deaths from the krona virus since the middle of march spain recorded 164 deaths in the 20 last 24 hours and it brings its death toll to just over 25000 its a reported 174 new deaths. Virus fatalities in the u. K. Are nearing that of europes worst affected country italy the British Government announced more than 300. 00 deaths on sunday taking its total death toll to more than 28400. 00 italy has recorded 28700 deaths in covert 19 Prime MinisterBoris Johnson has said that the u. K. Is past the peak of infection is due to outline the government or how the government will ease restrictions in the next few days russia meanwhile has recorded its highest daily rise of covert 19 another 10 and a half 1000 people have tested positive and thats despite 5 weeks of restrictions the country now has close 2135000 confirmed cases but the number of people whove died has slowed in recent days lets cross over to need back our correspondent in london neve the head of the office of National Statistics it seems says that sort of the numbers for this disease are still sort of hard to pin down but increasingly the numbers are increasing and it makes for grim reading. Yes these numbers a very difficult to calibrate are very difficult to calculate the loss announced death toll official death toll given a little bit earlier of the day is 28446. 350. 00 in the past 24 hours thats less of a jump than the previous 24 hours but of course its hugely concerning considering the government early on in the weeks of the country was over the peak there is still this backdrop of of rising deaths but it is you mentioned that there have been some comments from the chief of the office of National Statistics who says that there is something of a disparity between the official figures and what could actually be the real figures which he thinks could be significantly higher than what were hearing on a regular basis at downing street because the official figures apply to people who died after testing positive for covert 19 rather than people who were registered to lead death certificates of dying as a result of covert 19 so what were looking at is a possibly quite a sizable disparity but he also went on to say that it will be particularly helpful trying to compare one country against another because Different Countries calculate their deaths a very differently it also depends on getting in. Tallies from different parts of the country particularly in italy that has many different mean a simple means of policies in regions it might be slower to have a final sense of what the death toll is compared to the u. K. That some believe may be actually overestimating in some areas what the death toll is so you know i mean we obviously need to Pay Attention to these figures to give a sense of what the government needs to do and by way of response but it is very very difficult to say right now which country is worse than another although of course the u. K. Nicely very very close indeed the British Government has given some clarity on sunday about plans to trial tracking what more are they saying about where this is going to happen. Give us the phase 2 of the British Governments attempt to bring control over this situation it already. Smushed its own goal of carrying out 100000. 00 tests a day now its hoping to in holland start with the tracking and tracing element of of dealing with covert 19 so starting this week a pall of digital trial begins on the isle of wight thats of the south coast of england population around a 140000. 00 or so its a selfcontained on the island which allows them to be able to experiment this particular app. What it does basically is allow officials to identify people that are infected with the virus and allow them to branch out and show where exactly they may have had contact possibly with other people so they could advice those people to then quarantine the hope is that of course to roll that out across the nation but it requires a Large Population a large percentage of the population as high 60 percent for it really to be effective but weve seen the exactly how effective schemes like they saw in south korea the British Government is really hoping to to be moving on this pretty fast within a couple of weeks indeed the Prime Ministers also been speaking sort of talking great detail about his time in intensive care what else has he been saying. You know weve heard the promises personal accounts in one of the sunday newspapers you talked about how reluctant he was to actually go into hospital after having symptoms for quite some time but he was grateful in the end for being forced to do so because when he arrived he received leeches and liters of oxygen he said he said he was conscious throughout his in time time time in the intensive care unit at st thomass hospital just opposite parliament here which meant that he was pretty privy to everything that was going on around him he was aware of the fact that the machines were showing reading is going in the wrong direction he said that created a lot of frustration for him it was also where the kind of Contingency Planning that was going on around him as well possibly for if he didnt recover. What hes drawn from this whole experience well he says he feels its definitely made him more preach to the National Health service and he hopes now that he will return with vigor to help the country stand on its feet as well we park in london thanks for the update well plenty more ahead here on the aljazeera news hour including thousands of palestinians kept out of israel because of the current i was our break returned to work.

Come back to the people and it will not be able or any more in a bit longer than a of the others as well as a critical juncture in israels long running political crisis this is a major moment for its constitution doesnt yos legal team argues that the knesset the Israeli Parliament has made its decision and the court should not intervene as opponents argue that allowing for a government to be led by a man under such serious criminal charges represents an earthquake to the rule of law its now up to the justices to decide for now gantz and then you know who is still working to pass the legislation required to form the new government before the deadline expires on thursday if that doesnt happen or if the court were to surprise everyone and rule it out that israel would be heading for a 4th election in less than 18 months with its political system straining at the seams are a force that aljazeera west jerusalem.
