The day after he was seen on video explaining why he wanted to sack the federal police chief in an expletive ridden Cabinet Meeting brazilian president joe he had both some out. Was in damage control mode but without a hint of remorse. He dismissed accusations by his former Justice Minister said hugh morrow of trying to interfere into Police Investigations explaining that he was instead talking about his security detail and refusing to hand over his phone as requested by opposition parties in congress.

Britains government is defending the Prime Ministers chief adviser saying a trip he took to in the long down did not break any rules coming straight of more than 400 kilometers from london to his parents so even though he was supposed to be in self isolation the government says the trip was to arrange care for his son the opposition wants cummings to resign or be sacked. So im sort of disappoint you i dont know exactly the answer to when the pm knew that i knew that i know the pm knew that he was unwell and that he was let down because the pm was also well during the same period in reference i can tell you the pm provides mr cummings with his full support and mr cummings has provided a full statement least a quarter of all the u. K. s chrono virus deaths have been and care homes some managers have had to take matters into their own hands to protect the residents and the staff so the whole report from one of those homes on the isle of wight. Theres been thousands of deaths among the elderly and frail as covert 19 tour through britains career home sector but not here at victoria house on the isle of wight 2 months ago and with no guidance from the government manager Clare Leggett to put the home into self isolation she reduced staff numbers with those who remained agreeing to live on the premises in tents and caravans to keep the virus out because our age range of residents here range from in their eightys up to 103. 00. I thought it was just about being proactive and locking the home down renee i just didnt think that i had any other choice to be honest with you ive been here 7 weeks now victoria house. And. 7 weeks is very comfortable very warm. And me. Joy day and we all adore and my family is it and its as if there was a mom and dad and thats how we should theres been some tears but theres been more happy times in 10 years and if i had to do it all again. If i had to yes i would jump at the chance to do list again joel trickly hill hasnt seen his fiance in person for weeks and it could be many weeks more before the elderly and vulnerable can emerge from isolation i mean i wouldnt of a word like youre looking for looking for today and im sure as everyone in the world is you know the day that we can say its safe to step outside and go back to normal fairly i asked claire whether she feels the care home sector has been let down by the government i think its really disappointing you know its almost like weve just been forgotten about relating you know i mean it was only last week that i receive texts for the care home so i think the father waited for the government to give out some guidance on what we as a care home should it be to you know i wouldnt have any residence we had done. We had some champagne didnt we began a champagne yes its nothing like a t. Shirt and tonight you very. Night show on top of the world is that youre a man. In the midst of an unthinkable crisis in British Homes as a result of covert 19 this is a very rich good news story as a result of a policy of no one in no one out since the beginning of the lock down theyve managed to keep every one of their residents here safe from the virus and that is thanks to the initiative an extraordinary dedication of the stuff and their actions may well have saved lives Jono Al Jazeera on the white despite warnings pakistanis in the city of karachi have gone ahead with public prayers to mark the 8 off a holiday the prayers are part of their rituals marking the end of the holy month of ramadan some scholars have urged people to follow social distancing during the celebrations but large gatherings have been spotted across pakistan but still for a picture and mecca though one of the holiest cities in just a few dozen worshipers gathered at the great mosque for 8 prayers saudi arabia began around the clock curfew on sa
