Thank you for joining Us Donald Trump has told small controversy at his 1st reelection rally in months the u. S. President insulted china and told supporters coronavirus testing has turned up too many cases went against advice in holding the rally in tulsa oklahoma way drew a smaller crowd than expected Health Officials warn it could worsen a pandemic thats already killed 120000 americans she have a ton see reports. It has been reported that this rally was intended not just to energize the president s supporters but to lift the spirits of a man whose craved the adulation of his base during the long months of lock down you are so lucky president thats all i can begin with the Trump Campaigns hopes of a turnout of 100000 supporters inside and outside this Great American comeback rally fell short in fact the president canceled what had been planned as a pretty rowdy address at the outdoor overflow area because of a lack of numbers those who filed into the 20000 capacity arena had their temperatures checked having waived their right to sue the Trump Campaign if they contract and covert 19 it had been reported that 6 members of the Trump Advance Team had tested positive for the virus and on saturday a location of the rally hit a new daily record of infections but the president mocked caution and suggested throughout his speech that protesters have been causing trouble outside and discouraging attendance but there were few protestors and no incidents reported before he spoke you are warriors thank you we had some very people out there was the usual blame for the chinese too but here with racially offensive language has more names than any disease. I can. Come flu and blame for public Health Officials for the spread of the virus in the u. S. When you do testing to that extent you can find more people are going to find more cases so i said to my people are slow to test things out please the Administration Officials quickly briefed journalists that the president was just joking as for the unprecedented demonstrations spanning race and close across the country against Police Violence and systemic racism the president once again presented them as unchecked anti american and. And he presented his general election opponent joe biden as a man with a questionable record on race in failing Mental Health amid these historic protests if the democrats cave. Then the riders will be charged and no one will be safe and no one will have control joe biden whos not the leader of his Party Joe Biden is a helpless puppet of the radical left by far the longest section there was a defense of the president s cautious use of a ramp following his speech of the west Point Military academy the week before that had led to speculation about his health it had no handrail it was like it ice skating this event wasnt simply about abusing the president there are a 1000000 people were reported to have registered for the event giving their phone numbers as well as email and whom addresses this is essential information for ensuring turnout in november election especially as a significant proportion of trunk space owned regular voters these events are crucial for the trim campaigns momentum we will 2. Raise. The rally did seem like a Public Health experiment what would happen if you packed thousands of people into an indoor arena many refusing to wear or take a minimal precautions for several hours of singing cheering and shouting in a city experiencing a surge in crude 1000 infection we should know in 2 to 3 weeks she every time see aljazeera every can is a fanatical analyst says says its unlikely president triumphal escaped the controversy surrounding the valley unscathed. I think what the president is dealing with right now is the perfect storm the president is still reeling from a kobe kobe 19 outbreak that is only getting worse and even though the numbers tonight simply were not what the president expected there is still a concern a deep worry that those many thousands of people that are in that stadium tonight not only could be carriers but also could spread this virus throughout the country and that is something that the president is going to have to confront in addition to that as we look at all of the demonstrations over the last 25. 00 days that occur and you see be just the enormous crowds many are going to look at this president look at whats taking place and began to wonder if fact if this president can draw audiences in deep red oklahoma no less does that mean that people simply are tuning out his message doesnt mean that the president simply is ineffectual at leading the country out of both of these crises and remember not only is it just a confluence of a pandemic and social and civil unrest but the present in the studio dealing with an economy thats at recession perhaps even Great Depression levels and right now there is still no no no sense that this president can grapple or address either of these crisis let alone all 3 at one time now the wild new zealand recognized government in libya is denouncing egyptian threats of military intervention president has warned the army could be sent in if d.

Tricky agrees g. N. A. T. Thinks and we support this idea that everybody should go back to their positions back in 2015 when they had this politically been political agreement we are said to enjoy needs to be evacuated by and the hot air force this is the position of the g. N. A. T. But egypt and president of fatah has sisi one of have to smain supporters doesnt agree and. Bomb if some believe that they could cross the line in places that matter to us insert or jew for thats a red line sisi has called on his army to be prepared to intervene and. Im certain if we are need of your sacrifices you are prepared to carry out any mission within our home soil or for acquired beyond our border lines while egypt appears to be intensifying its rhetoric on libya other regional actors are calling for calm algeria hosted the g. N. A. S. Phases the ruds on saturday after hosting i give us all of the speaker of the eastern based Parliament Last week algerias president. Has said his countrys position is neutral and it wants to see a political solution to the crisis. Libyas internationally recognized government thus the g. N. A. S.

A. E. Sisi call for a ceasefire and propose an elected Leadership Council turkey dismissed the plan as an attempt to save half time after heavy battlefield losses whats changed now is that c. C.

Of any military action would be to protect egypts 1200 kilometer long western border with libya and how for a stalled peace sami hamdi is editor in chief of the International Interest magazine he says a g. N. A. T. War so make sure its in the most powerful position before negotiating. We have to remember that the dynamics have changed there in libya with turkeys intervention and we have to remember that well have to was strong he didnt want to negotiate and now that the d. N. A. Are strong they are the ones that are rejecting that negotiation and the reason being is that turkey wants to maximize the gains for the genie as much as possible they want sit and go for us to make sure the genie is in the most powerful position possible before negotiations egypt stance is lets do talks now while sevenzo for are in the hands of the n. A. R. In the hands of the eastern government in order to ensure that ellen a continues to have a say in the potential political future of libya i dont think egypt wants to get involved i think egypt is genuine about negotiations maybe not necessarily for the reasons that d. N. A. Want it to be. In favor of negotiations but we have to also remember that egypt has offered to empower us siler at the expense of have to so the issue here is not just there the issue here is not this idea of who want to negotiate who doesnt want negotiations the idea is that now out of the genome on top now that they are being backed by turkey given that hastert was not interested to go she asians when he was on top of the gene they are saying why should we be interested in it lets get as much as we can until were forced to stop in other words what applies here is the famous verses of the tunisian poets custom should be that they can be no justice or in this case negotiations until the powers are balance right now the jna are struggling and this is why we see this the 1st major election since much of europe went into coronavirus long don is happening in say bia more than 6000000 people are eligible to vote for a new Parliament Election was originally planned for april opinion polls predict the Serbian Progressive Party of president alexander change will get around 50 percent of the vote but some opposition parties are boycotting saying the election wont be fair because of which is just media influence that tally a new church has more on the vote from belgrade.
