Football kicks off again in germany behind closed doors and with the sporting world watching closely. The man accused of bankrolling the randon genocide now faces trial after he was found hiding out in paris. Stands accused of funding the militias who killed hundreds of thousands of people and supplying them with machetes it avoided capture for more than 2 decades until police raided an unassuming apartment block north of the french capital so youre going to go has more. Ok so this is. He was one of the worlds most wanted fugitives 84 year old. The man accused of financing the militias that mascot 800000 people in 100 days during the rwandan genocide until his arrest in france he had been on the run from International Justice for 25 years i had been indicted by the United Nations International Criminal tribunal in 1907 on 7 counts of genocide but the film a businessman managed to avoid arrest using his powerful International Connections to evade capture always had very close relations with irans government in france hes very well connected to our elite circles are in paris and i think his arrest and i will also raise questions about how much. He has received from the french government in recent. Kuga had been living under a false identity in this apartment in as you have sent me the center of paris had previously lived in germany belgium the democratic republic of congo as well as kenya and switzerland. This morning we were surprised because when we went downstairs like all the neighbors we were trying to get out and then we saw a whole army of police preparing this operation. His son in law had been arrested in germany in 2007 for war crimes committed during the 1994 genocide the u. S. Had offered a 5000000. 00 reward for information leading to his arrest. Had also been the chairman of the infamous ekta m Radio Station which he used to broadcast propaganda inciting ethnic hutus to murder to seize his arrest was carried out by French Police together with cooperation from belgian and british authorities now he will face the International Criminal court for his part in one of the worst atrocities in recent history sonny diagonal aljazeera. Mourn Computers Capture lets speak to dr Nicholas Palmer shes a senior lecturer in criminal law at Kings College london and shes the author of courts in conflict interpret in layers of justice in post genocide rhonda and thanks so much for joining us joins us via skype from london to tell us a little bit more about how bigger and the rest this is and whats so significant for the rest of the biggest is certainly very important as you report laid out is an edge to being the major financial backer of huge extremism in the build up to ensuring there was a genocide and crucially here it was important what allegedly enabled the importing of importing of machetes and was one of the founders of the rwandan broadcaster that incited people to participate in the violence so i think you know how surprised are you that its taken this long to track him down and there was a very large reward on offer wasnt there for me a 5000000. 00 u. S. Dollars yes so i think what this indicates is the networks of support that he has had inside of france and its important to recognize that rwandan survivor groups living in the diaspora have supported the continue tracking and trial of genocide suspects and this has been particularly evident it didnt in france and so i think here we have a Large Network of individuals who have been able to evade justice and diasporas about the groups that have worked to catch them including this is resulted in in 5 domestic prosecutions of rwandan genocide suspects in france and 20 requested extraditions to rwanda or all of which so far have been denied by the french courts and what you expect to happen with kuwait where would you expect him to go on trial. Well what will likely happen is he will be transferred to the International Residual Mechanism folk ruin or tribunals which has branches in a recent tanzania and in the hague in the netherlands how difficult is it going to be though this many years after the events to actually gather the information thats needed for a prosecution. I think this is been a major challenge for all of the trials that have that have followed there on a genocide and i think it will require a very careful investigation inside of rwanda given that most rwandan citizens have not participated in a large number of cases and different types of trials that have followed the genocide including importantly the rwandan the chechen courts which are Community Level process that has that has tried the majority of low level offenders inside of rwanda what about the message it sends to people who might be involved in crimes like this are genocide and do think that they it does kind of send out a message that they they can run but they cant hide forever certainly what i think it shows is that there is continued International Support for the trial of individuals suspected of involvement in the wanton genocide and its important to remember that this was an active with a specific intent to destroy the tutsi ethnic group i think it also shows that there is this transnational network through which International Crimes are now being pursued that centers on the involvement of National States dr nicholas ahmed thank you very much indeed for taking the time to act as an argentina thank you. Now there are more signs that the worst of the Coronavirus Crisis may be over in mainland europe italy has reported its lowest daily coronavirus death toll since early march and announced plans to lift one of the worlds strictest lock downs from june the 3rd both regional and International Borders will open again and the 14 day quarantine for people arriving from abroad will end well this is football returns in germany with the 1st bundesliga matches in 2 months being played in empty stadiums but its a different story in war torn yemen where its fear that the virus may have killed hundreds in the Southern City of aden in just the last week and from nigeria to the u. S. People are noticing the impact on their pockets with food prices rocketing a supply chain struggle with a Strict Lockdown italy has the industries the countrys Tourism Industry hard Priyanka Gupta reports or hopes that businesses can get going again. Empty tables deserted holds rooms steeped in history left without visitors theres no one to the gilded walls of italys finest Luxury Hotels instead a ghostly silence on the once bustling terraces the symbol of a pandemic that swept through italy leaving thousands dead and give the staging its economy is that the puny persaud this whole would have been crowded noisy with people chatting at the bar the visitors passing by and appreciating the beauty of these halls now its empty lonely it is the 1st time in almost 80 years of the history of this hotel which was built to the thirtys is empty and closed. But there are signs of hope the government is allowing people into and out of italy from early next month free travel within the country will also receive a number youre going to get we look forward to the reopening of borders and then there might be the possibility for travel forecasts and not positive but we are very optimistic. Along italys coast lines hotel owners are preparing for a different kind of summer but on the other were ready to host tourists who come to the veneto coast in these last weeks we work to adapt our beaches our hotels and our campsites to the Current Health emergency we were able to guarantee the celebrity of a seaside holiday caution is a critical point industry that contributes 13 percent to italys g. D. P. And employs more than 4000000 people the Economic Impact of the pandemic has been devastating of their life in their line of were estimating they will lose about 18000000000. 00 in tourism this year but we need to understand what will happen on tomorrow on wards if hotels have a possibility to reopen giving Foreign Tourists the chance to reach italy we will limit those damages with many countries restricted air travel tourist numbers are predicted to fall by between 60 to 80 percent this year globally but many hope that with not the childrens business can get moving again and the lights can finally be turned back on. Its knees Prime Minister has also announced that james Swimming Pool cinemas and senators were all open over the next 4 weeks does it become to admitted that italy is taking a calculated risk in rolling back knock down measures from next week. Only. We are facing a calculated risk i said very sincerely that the epidemiological curve could go on our principles remain the same they are all values that for the 1st of all is the protection of life of Citizens Health their nonnegotiable found here but we have to approach them differently in this phase were facing this risk and we have to accept it otherwise well have to wait until a vaccine is discovered we cant afford it. Greece has reopened its beaches to the public just in time for an early summer heat wave people lined up early in the morning to secure their spots on the sand but all had to respect new social distancing rules there are limits on how many people can be in one area and umbrella poles must be kept at least 4 metres apart is a major test for greece which is trying to revive its new critism you could have Tourism Sector are protecting people from covert 19. In the u. K. The number of deaths has jumped again by 468 to a total of more than 34000 people are being urged to think twice before travelling despite lock down restrictions being loosened earlier this week in england where at chalons reports in the coastal city of brighton. On any normal sunday may weekend brighton would be welcoming visitors with open arms more swimmers more splashes more sunbathers out of towners and daytrippers but 2020 isnt normal but as in england eases lock down restrictions brighton like many of the countrys attractions and beauty spots is worried too many people will come flocking its really paying for to be asking people not to come here but we need to be clear with people that we dont believe that its safe to do so just yet our local services the console police and health are all focusing on keeping people wow so we dont want to be stretched with some people deciding to visit the subway scotland and wales have. And changed their measures earlier in the week Prime Minister johnson replaced englands stay at home message with a more confusing stay alert and told people they could spend more Time Outdoors and travel further pedro and for want to and their kids have emerged from lockdown in redhill an hours drive away the 1st trip in 2 months is great its of course yeah no we didnt exactly 0 yeah right now theres no one nearby 20 metres you know but in general we are told to go out and take some fresh air because hes had to be. In that building you know 24 hours just going to support my get his day so that you know perhaps the councils dont come message got through perhaps Police Checking cars outside the city limits was also dissuading people but certainly the beach wasnt overrun on saturday whether or not people should be visiting englands beaches and other beauty spots isnt the only lockdown issue being debated in the u. K. At the moment theres also been arguments about the governments intention so at least partially open primary schools early in june. Teachers unions and the British Medical Association dont think the plan is safe enough yet and the government is trying to reassure them this face return is in line what over European Countries are doing to get their own schools colleges and streets back i know lots of you will be worried about sending your children to school every one of us wants for the very best for our children and i know how stressful this time has been for all families right across for country i want to reassure you that this approach is based on the best scientific advice and bryson the idea got a mixed reception that agree with an off a week that younger children it is not going to be possible for a poor 5 year out to be i think the kids have had enough time to home have the 3 daughters i think theyre pretty ready to go back to school i clearly you know for their features its a good idea to go back to school and keep learning. With plenty of slips and stumble so far the u. K. s slow climb out of lockdown isnt proving easy or a challenge how to 0 bryson. Theres lots more still coming on the news hour including mass testing begins in rouhani once again as a chinese city where the growth of ours 1st emerged reports another cluster. And food prices soar in nigeria living people struggling to feed their families during ramadan. Health officials in yemen have confirmed 13 new cases of coronavirus and 3 deaths raising the number of known infections in government held areas to 122 humans who the rebels have also reported to new cases in areas they control but there are reports of an unusual surge of deaths in the Southern City of aden aid agency save the children says there were 385 deaths there in the past week 5 years of conflict have destroyed much of the countrys Health System and there are fears many cases are going undetected history or some ashes save the childrens advocacy and media director for yemen she joins us by skype from amman in jordan thanks for much for being with us so give us an indication of the kind of figures youre getting that perhaps dont tally with the official records. So what we hearing currently from our den is that they are around 58. 00 cases of death mostly from respect to reissues that day and to give a bit of a comparison they used to be reporting 910 death. Last month in april today so thats a 5 fold increase in death thats particularly concerning whilst the number of cases component raising a rising day by day it seems that its still an end estimate compared to the 2 situation in added in particularly and were really concerned for. The yemenis currently in identity who find themselves where youve have facilities that are closed on the 2 main hospitals are currently open in ad and most of them are taking only. Deliveries and just imagine shes like this which makes it very difficult for anyone who has covered 1000 like symptoms to be able to get treatment so far other any measures in place like social distancing or not that is that realistic in a war torn area. So there are some lockdown and curfews that are being implemented in parts of yemen in additon and in ties in particular. But you have to those of think that especially with the number of displaced people there are 2000000 children who are at the place this place in yemen that is very difficult to end and several families are living in just one flat that they cant social distance where their day to day and such cramped areas and its very difficult for them to also access to clean water we had a 17 year old child in tell us who told us that he has to do 15 kilometers in order to get access to water for his family and there is a fear for yemenis right now about how theyre going to be able to to put in place this preventing measures if they dont have access to clean water they dont have access to soap and if theyre not able to procreate lee social distance and how difficult is it to get help in at the moment. So they are currently. 500 going to latest in the entire country there are only 520 i. C. U. Bed star are available for cook at 1000 patients and that means its its going to be very difficult for yemen to be able to respond to to this outbreak and the Health System has been decimated by 5 years of war only how out of the Health Facilities are functioning at the moment so aid agencies like i was there really bracing ourselves for for the outbreak to spread and further which is why its more important now more than never to be able to go to early action and try to stop the spread try to respond to what is happening right now so that it doesnt get worse thank you very much indeed to you show us in washington. A massive citywide testing drive is underway in the chinese city of will hand where the outbreak was 1st reported the Campaign Comes after the city confirmed its 1st cluster of new infections since easing the knock down last month but as crowds formed at the test centers some residents were concerned that just going for the voluntary test could expose them to the virus they harding has more. The people in this province have been battling the Novel Coronavirus longer than anyone else the virus started here in december last year and grew to Epic Proportions killing more than 4000 people in china alone after months of lockdown and one province the number of cases began to drop in this week there was a cluster of new infections a new Testing Campaign is underway to stop the spread the residents fear going to crowded Testing Centers could put them in danger but. I think some measures should have been taken for example who should be separated when there are many of them is not very good to have too many people gathered in one place some paper where the moscow not safety has become a hot topic especially on social media among the 11000000 residents of on this latest campaign is voluntary i think its fine everyone to keep it a distance of one half metres from each of the. Old office says the epidemic people have had a great sense of responsibility to keep my distance from each other to reduce risks there are now nearly 5000000 cases of covert 1000 around the world more than 300000 have died what started in china may be returning for a 2nd wave leah harding aljazeera thousands of Health Care Experts from around the world have held a 4 hour web enough to share what theyve learnt so far about covert 191 of the moderators was murdered so she kone whos the chair of anesthesia and intensive care at milans humana Test Research hospital he joins us via skype thank you very much indeed for taking time to be with us. Obviously this a massive meeting but what would you say the biggest headlines to come out of it were. I think the most important thing that we realized over the last 2 or 3 months is that it was a new virus that we had to study and clearly it was very apparent very soon that the respiratory symptoms were the most important once more so the president elect of the European Society of intensive Care Medicine and weve being linking pretty much every intensive care of doctor or in europe and around the war but since the beginning to share what we were mayor me from longer of the we saw very early on that there were a very High Percentage of patients requiring intensive care emissions and indeed that was really the focus at the beginning increasing the capacity of our oxy use in trying to maintain the containment in the community in india all spittal by being able to start david a bit more and into more depth we find out that this is a disease that affects mainly the lungs but can give significant complications also cardiovascular complications from both the complications or systemic complications as well test but there are some reports that have been service in the last few weeks of from European Countries and in the us of a dangerous in syndrome in children that could be linked to kevin 1000 was any light shed on that during your meeting. Well our society is mainly about the intensive care so we didnt focus on potential in terms of care what we probably are referring to is a syndrome for which there of being significant cases being reported in the last weeks however im not an expert on it what taking say is that even if there are some of these reports that are assuring thing is that we dont seem to see high number of kids coming to intensive care indeed this is a pretty rare event that kids get the severe symptoms that they require us because they should we be intensive care admission or you talked about things evolving over the over the pandemic in terms of how you treat people in intensive care is there a consensus now on some of the best methods that you know the work the best for dealing with the in the extreme cases. I think were tapping at the very beginning was that there was a lot of anxiety ing physicians in doctors to try to find a cure very fast its fair to say that everyone was very surprised by the volume of patients it was coming to a hospital and we all felt we have to find the solution i suspect is laid at the beginning probably to russia to debate in to find some drugs that could work you may have they are of about drugs a corking which was almost as a standard of care and now with more and more reports that are coming through suggested that maybe the drug is not affected what also it could be could be harmful i think what weve learned is that we have to go back to basics of good intensive care what weve learned over the years in terms of the a. R. V. s of so acute to respiratory distress in drum which is basically ventilate in these patients providing support care in an efficient way but it is also gentle we call these protective lung strategies it basically means that we buy time for the patients to fight infection and we try to bring them up to them but without damaging their lungs we the ventilation the self and i would say probably the strongest evidence that we have so far is that we have to prevent infection when the infection is there we have to try to provide support care at best the being protective to what we do and probably to even do it to really do not delay treatments and when we feel that there are appropriate for our patients no additionally opening up how concerned are you given your experience of dealing with this this virus. Well we are a bit concerned because specially in longer the we were very surprised there from the 20th of february when the 1st at bisham was discovered into one of our intensive care units our weather remember the 20th of february was a very specific date for italy because that was the discovery of a 2nd the transmission cluster that meant that the filter somehow didnt work we thought and we realized that we had that many many cases in the community that where on detected the situation is very different now because we are testing a lot and therefore we can monitor the are not of the virus we know in a number they did not of the virus is below one now which suggests that theyre at what were doing is effective in slowing down the transmission of the virus so we feel like we can reopen again its important to reopen the economy its important to reopen all speedos to patients that were not admitted to hospitals before if you come to our hospitals from the very beginning we separated patient flows between kobe 90 and could lead 3 patients but now is the time also to bring back all those patients that had their elective surgery counsel for instance its important that we treat those do we want to do it in the safest way as possible and we want to make sure that we contain the infection in the community and in the us for those as well so that people dont get infected as well there and of course or so for the care workers as well so we are a bit concerned but we think we can monitor the situation and we came to do it safely and we king stop if we see that the transmission of the virus speeds up again. Ciccone thank you very much indeed to sanjaya thank you. Live from london still ahead. A lot of them arent even pretending to be in charge former president hits out of the current commander in chief and his handling of the pandemic. And could mans best friend come to the rescue humanity trout sea dogs can sniff out coronavirus its humbling. Hello that warming up across Western Areas of europe and still very well across the southeast meanwhile to the north a lot of cloud as you can see but not just cloud rain but even this i think the picture is really rather speak for themselves this is into southern finland and the snow was coming down and in fact to fall down is false as well it should actually melt for you quickly because the temperatures will be in the low double figures that is a fairly unsettled weather pattern blustery winds rain showers across much of scandinavia through the baltics as well some more rain just work its way into areas of ukraine trading down across into the balkans but really apart from that its sunny it is dry the temperature is beginning to come back up so 22. 00 for london and paris on a warm 25. 00 celsius across in vienna now still if you will to the northwest of africa before she got some clear dry weather across much of morocco algeria saying the bulk of the showers with the clouds and then look at this time of the 2842 in tripoli but as we go into monday the winds will change direction coming down from the cool and all through the match and so that means a high of 27 to actually feeling quite a bit cooler to me water still very warm across 43 and the showers a say that continue to play these coastal areas of algeria quite a bit of cloud as well so cool in algeria is with a high of 19 celsius. Political ideals of grassroots activists and polished speech in its lines takes you inside the battle for the democratic party. And asks if its base is too polarized to take on the white house theres a generational divide thats real you might ironically see the outsider middle of the most corrupt incumbent president ever langs americas divided democrats out his era. A policy after publicly. Funded shouldnt on. The one i want to use to visit the pooping school serving up put to vietnams disadvantaged and downtrodden. On al jazeera. Played an Important Role protecting human. Face. No the on in. The. Car. And are going around the top stories here now to 0 the man accused of funding the militias who killed hundreds of thousands of people during the rwandan genocide has been captured but he was found hiding in paris after avoiding capture more than 2 decades. If not hundreds of people may have died from coronavirus and the yemeni city of aden in the past few days even though only 13 deaths have been officially recorded in the country. And its a nice government says it will reopen its borders and allow travel to and from the country from june the 3rd its been on the one of the worlds strictest lock down since march and is keen to revive its Tourism Industry. Some geragos 7000000. 00 residents are now on the corone teen trees government ordered the knock down after infections in the capital jumped 500 percent in just 2 weeks the move has dashed hopes that the countrys economy would reopen soon after america tennessee newman has more. Air force planes airlifted patients from chiles capital to hospitals in faraway cities while in santiago all ambulances waited would see patients outside a hospital emergency room entrances for up to 10 hours tens of thousands of residents ignored calls for social distancing as the queue for essential goods ahead of the start of a total lockdown something president s of us jumping it i had said would not be necessary. But the exclusion of coded 19 infections in the capital up by more than 500 percent in 2 weeks dashed his hopes of controlling contagion without down the economy plain i mean pickles. We are fully aware of the difficulties the restrictions and the shortages that a lockdown means for the chilean families were going to make the up mice if it to facilitate food medicine and other basic services during the quarantine might pull it out. Receiving an emergency shipment of ventilators at the airport the president appealed to opponents to unite in the face of a monumental threat behind me is the entrance to sense our general cemetery inside grave diggers have been working around the clock in order to meet and in fact surpass their yearly quota of tools in order to be prepared for the worst but many people believe it several have come to this so soon. The government had boasted that chile was doing better than its neighbors ignoring earlier pleas from doctors and mayors like rudolph or carter to declare a total lockdown before infections got out of control. We have to say it very clearly without panicking that these next 2 weeks are going to be the hardest speaks in the history of chile since the 1973 cool were going to have dead people youre going to have hurt families. Police will be on the lookout not just for those who violate the quarantine but the traffickers who are using Delivery Services which are allowed to circulate as the perfect cover for distributing Illegal Drugs to lose antinarcotic squads have already made more than 200. 00 arrests modise. They misuse well known brands of Delivery Services to deliver drugs instead of food or medicine why because a policeman probably wont suspect a delivery man on a bicycle thats why were cyber patrolling the social networks to try and identify the traffickers on. That battle to stop people from violating or abusing the quarantine is on now the chilis doing good most agree is the right thing not necessarily soon enough you see in human aljazeera santiago. Kenya has closed its borders with tanzania and somalia cargo trucks are exempt from the ruling but the drivers have been asked to be tested for the virus before they can cross president kenyatta also extended Movement Restrictions between nairobi and mombasa and a nationwide dusk to dawn curfew for another 3 weeks of the country so far reported 50 deaths.

Nigeria abandon its price control on commodity boards more than 30 years ago but many here say those boards help to protect consumers from exploitation and with workers wages not lasting through to the next paycheck many want them back. Mohamed in a sort of gaze the head of the Market Street is union he says 70 percent of his customers are staying away but the price increases are not entirely the fault of traders girly. Its all because demand outstrips supply when there are shortages the prices will increase then you factor in the cost of transportation we see that a lot these past few weeks so the increase is then automatically transferred to the buyer. Its particularly difficult now with ramadan coinciding with complete 900. 00 pandemic with workers forced to stay at home due to lock downs. Many consumers say theyre cutting costs and watching what they spend and very soon they could be hit by price rises because the muslim festival of the isnt falling off. By degrees. In the u. S. Food prices have also had the biggest monthly increase in nearly 50 years its put more pressure on americans who are already struggling to make ends meet during the pandemic john hendren reports from chicago. Just when they can afford it least americans are suffering sticker shock at the Grocery Store the meat the deli. The ham the cheese even the bread is costing more and now according to the u. S. Labor Department Food prices rose 2. 6 percent in april the biggest monthly jump in 46 years prices for staples like meat and eggs surged even more im a single parent i have a were gets i have a car no still you kind of think like whats priority right now do i pay my mortgage or do i go Grocery Shopping with tens of millions of americans newly unemployed more than it any time since the Great Depression soaring prices mean long lines at food banks and more americans than ever questioning where their next meal will come from ali because we already are worried that people are stuck in their houses and happen and now we know that lackey people who are stuck in their house that number one in 5 families is Food Insecurity she says the number is 2. 00 and 5. 00 for families with children under 12 and higher for africanamerican and hispanic families. As meat plant workers have grown ill and died from the Global Pandemic dozens of plants shut down and walk around all the 17 out of people. That aint david o. President trump ordered the plants to reopen with new precautions in the said he plans to change visa rules so that plants can keep Foreign Workers in the u. S. Longer to replace those who are sick or under quarantine but panic buying and a supply chain slowed by social distancing are driving prices higher. Chicagos old meat packing district is filled with restaurants now the old slaughterhouses and meat packing plants have moved to rural areas but the meat is still traded on the Chicago Commodities Exchange a few blocks away where prices have been steadily rising. With no cure and no vaccine in sight the rising arc of food prices continues to mimic the growth of the virus itself john hendren aljazeera chicago. The u. S. President is considering plans to restore some funding to the World Health Organization donald trump tweeted to say his administration is looking at several proposals one includes funding world health but it just 10 percent of the previous level which is the same amount china currently gives trump suspended american contributions to the organization in april after accusing it of promoting chinese disinflation about the outbreak. Meanwhile former president barack obama has taken a swipe at his successes handling of the pandemic saying its to win back the curtain on American Leadership speaking at a virtual ceremony for thousands of graduates he said they have to seize the initiative where the nations leaders of fumbled the response to the virus more than anything this pandemic is fully finally torn back the curtain on the idea that so many of the folks in charge know what theyre doing a lot of them arent even pretending to be in charge the worlds going to get better its going to be up to you where we can speak to political and social analyst Jason Nichols he joins us live from and the city in maryland via skype thanks for being with us so its it was a pretty damning criticism that and in the past obama has tended to avoid publicly at least saying anything critical about what you think change here. Well 1st of all we have to understand the nuance here in the audience that he was speaking to obama is always going to very candid when speaking to africanamerican audiences it means were h. B. C. You historically black colleges and universities near the ranch so he dont come to actually speak what was on his mind and what he thought about the president the current sitting president because he felt at home and so thats why he made those comments he still never mentioned donald trump by name he only said that beer had been some missteps and i think everyone in the world and particularly when were looking at 100000 deaths in the United States before june 1st i think everyone could agree with that and we are in the process here to quote from a private phone call a sort of a list at a bit of a twitter rabbiting something about the how helpful is it to have Something Like that going on during an Election Year for the democrats i mean. Well i think you know obama is always going to keep it classy to a certain degree hes not going to get into the twitter back and forth that were sent to the depths of the current president so i think it works fine for the democrats i think is much involvement as joe biden you know the current nominee gets from brock obama is only going to be to his benefit particularly because hes going to need a big turnout from africanamericans donald trump is going to rile up its base with his twitter barbs and you know we saw the. Our you know superimpose his face and other conservatives and you know from independents they put that on twitter and it riles his people up and they get excited too so i dont think that it hurts either side stepped into the effort for it to be damaging in the in the sense that the democrats are criticized for the saying division and facet of your brain that the level of the discourse down if they if they do the same can they not end up damaging sounds well see what where ill disagree with you is that theyre doing the same i really dont think that thats whats happened and i think that there are going to be attack dogs on the side of the democrats and thats important people who go out and challenge the efforts of the president no theres to muddy the truth but i dont think that its going to hurt them in the long run particularly or hurt the argument that big had the moral high ground because barack obama is not going to keep to those depths youre not going to see even joe biden steep to the depths that donald trump will go and i think that it actually helps them a gratz when theyre trying to say that theyre going to bring integrity back to the white house Jason Nichols thank you very much indeed for your thoughts i sure will. Now us democrats have rushed an investigation into President Trump ordering the firing of the state departments internal inspector in a letter to the house of representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi on friday trump said he no longer had confidence in Inspector General steve linux ability to serve but the white house has now said it was sexual state might pompei or who recommended he be fired democrats accuse the president of further escalating his fight against any oversight of his administration a string of government watchdogs have been removed in recent weeks. A british researchers think sniffer dogs may be able to tell if people are infected with corona virus before they show any symptoms it could provide a fast noninvasive way to detect the disease 6 dogs will be given samples of the smell of infected patients and taught to distinguish it from people who dont have the virus the medical Detection Dogs Charity has already trained animals to detect some cancers parkinsons disease and malaria. In this study were able to determine whether people who have who are going to now have this thing to do you were and then train dogs to detect it i was very grateful to the u. K. Government for supporting this very Exciting Research and it builds upon years or research that weve already done as a team to demonstrate that people who have a malaria infection have a distinctive body odor and weve shown that dogs can be trained to detect that with very High Accuracy so if this is successful we should the same for kuwait 19 this could completely revolutionize the way that we are tackling this disease.
