Plus. Angry scenes in the israeli capitalist joblessness soars to more than 20 percent of the coronavirus pandemic locked out. Ok lets get going millions of syrias displaced people will now have only one Turkish Border crossing through which to receive aid thats after several attempts to keep a 2nd crossing open failed to pass but the Un Security Council permanent members russia and china abstained from the latest votes allowing it to pass they both use their power of veto to stop the previous proposals from going through today is yet another date its a sad day for this council but mostly it is a sad day for decision people of that region. Borgia rubio and both of them were invited to cross to their leader in the most efficient way possible the humanitarian. Those people deserve ok lets talk about the 2 crossings the un and humanitarian groups say 2800000 people in syrias rebel held northwest have been depending on those corridors for aid russia insists only one is necessary says baba how a cancer 85 percent of a deliveries from now on only this one will stay open however the u. S. Says 1300000 People Living north of aleppo depend on the other crossing bubble salaam though a push to keep aid entering through that crossing was the issue that failed joining us live from the un headquarters is a diplomatic at the james base james is this in effect a victory for russia. Absolutely this is the position that russia backed by china wanted and they have now got it there were some other things that russia and china wanted and thats why in the end in the vote they abstained and didnt vote for it and that was on sanctions they wanted some language condemning the sanctions on syria particularly the sanctions by the u. S. And they said at the time of Economic Hardship in syria it was not the time to pursue those sanctions that language didnt get into get into the final version of the resolution although russia wanted it in there and thats why russia and china abstained Dominican Republic also abstained for the opposite reasons they were so unhappy with this process and the fact that the people of syria particularly Northern Syria are going to average used flow of aid as a result of all of this i spoke to the belgian and german ambassadors a short time ago they had been leading the negotiations they were very tired and very frustrated they though are professional diplomats and were not going to say anything to me that was too damning but ive also spoken to other officials off the record and its very clear there is a very very bitter atmosphere in the Security Council 9 rounds of voting twice 2 permanent members china and russia have wielded their veto its been a really difficult time for the Security Council there also james here 2 other potential negatives negative number 1 may be that the aid that does go through if it has to get to the people of aleppo it has to make a longer journey through a war zone and also those people around aleppo how long until they start getting the aid and can it be sustained. Well clearly that is the point that all along had been made by those whove been supporting the idea of more Border Crossings its worth reminding you peter that at the end of last year there were actually 4 authorized crossings not just from turkey but also from iraq to bring in aid and at the end of last year weve had resolutions authorizing this these crossing since 2014 at the end of last year when it was time to renew these resolutions china did exactly sorry russia did exactly the same thing used its veto and reduced the 4 authorized crossings to 2 and now we have it reduced to one and what youll be told by professionals is youre really in a conflict situation where things are changing all the time the control of places a change in the roads that are open to changing you need the flexibility of having more than one Border Crossing to bring in the aid if youre going to get to the people that really need it james thanks very much james bays diplomatic ever so reporting live for us there from u. N. Headquarters joining us now committed to rocketry hes a board member and former director of the Syrian American medical society he joins us on skype from Fresno CaliforniaAkhmed Reggie does this development from the u. N. In effect ring fence that area around aleppo because clearly we all know it is one of the last remaining rebel strongholds. I think i agree with the ambassador that this is very sad day and aside from the conflict of military carving that the explicit syria there is a lucia right now even though it still open for the next 12 months at dusk compromise me turn 8 to northwest syria now left to explain that 1. 00 to 2. 00 points the 1st one right now would close. That comprises the delivery of one 3rd of the humanitarian aid to the northwest of syria so i think the russian numbers are not very accurate d. N. A. Numbers are more accurate than that tells what that of the number of meter it goes through ups are so right now the resources and better and how it had to be scaled up by 50 percent the trucks have to travel more routes to get to the people this is significant expenses and danger that is not under funded operation its an operation north of syria but the other concerning point that you know and im a sure how direction diplomats will be rationalizing that is that when you close by as you push the u. N. Aid through but how and its forwards we know that hey at the train a sham its yes controls good portion of the roads that goes beyond our now with this resolution that russia pushed for is pushing most of the humanitarian aid to the u. N. Agencies through its control but its yes at any security comprise or in air temp by hate the has shown today overt aid that will shut off the operation compromising the meter an operational reach of it for everybody in the north but syria and the past with the burbs selamat they have alternatives the h. G. s could not control the roads of the u. N. Convoys now that puts the u. N. In a very odd position that they have to negotiate with with which he is if there is any compromise of the major operation this is very odd situation thats russia pushed the u. N. To be. At this time ok heres the thing whats your reading then of the claims from russia because this is that boils down to being that the kind of the kernel of their starting point if you will that cross border aid is the bigger obstacle to getting aid to the people who need it and thats almost a stance that pays lip service to the line from the Syrian Regime because Bashar Al Assad he said this publicly several times now he wants the entire aid operation to go into syria via damascus. Listen you know more than 3 years ago the u. N. Sort of the syrian it workers boycott could ever issue with the un because of the electoral transparency and efficiency through the un the damascus based you an operation we know how many resources are being compromised through the un operation to damascus and we push for transparency for that however we know that through the un operation damascus weve witnessed that paul you are brick in syria with more than 80 children getting paralyzed permanently because of blocking vaccines weve seen more than 60 people dying out of starvation a mother in suburban damascus where the u. N. Stores are more than not more than that 20 kilometers away from so seen failure of the cross line one thing after another if they want to improve the he made tyranny in say syria my 1st question this question is go ahead and improve the human operation in areas where you have agreements that derogate duma. East and other points areas for us and if you prove that you are effective then you can ask for the next step even a few weeks ago we see how the 1st corner petion the 1st question and the north is syria and this is a agreement supported and negotiated by russia between the Health Administration north east and the mess this operation weve seen that the patient to this is part of and die and still the results of the left this that not get delivered to north east until 2 weeks of the best way to access the best only ok as you hold bad the operation as we have to leave it there for try apologize ask my truck in Fresno California great to talk to thank you so much for coming on. Thank you for the opportunity. The u. S. President donald trump has worn a face mask in public for the 1st time he was visiting a Military Hospital in maryland meanwhile the u. S. Has seen another daily high for new infections more than 66000 infections confirmed on friday theres also been an upturn in the number of deaths caused by the virus mr trump says hes in favor of wearing a mosque i think when youre in a hospital especially in that particular setting where youre going to do a lot of soldiers people that in some cases just got off the operating table i think its a great degree where i got to have a good man but i do believe they have a time and a. Particle hanes side the walter reed Military Hospital invested in maryland where mr trump met those patients the hospital behind me not overrun with patients and one of the reasons experts say thats the case because in this area people are told if you go out in public put on a mask in the states that have seen the hardest hit areas the numbers are going up dramatically most of those states are not mandating that people put on a mask and a lot of people say this comes from u. S. President donald trump he once told reporters the he wouldnt give them the satisfaction of seeing him with the mask on now his tone has started to change a little bit and he said that he actually thinks he looks good in a mask like the lone ranger he said he said when he went to Walter Reed Hospital which he did on saturday that he would wear a mask and there are pictures that many will hope send the message to his supporters that its ok to put on a mask its an easy inexpensive way to make sure the virus doesnt spread as rapidly as it is but then theres a caveat with the president he told reporters that he sees no problem Wearing Masks in hospitals basically saying that they have a time and a place so sending the message with his picture that masks are ok but with his words its not necessarily mandatory. Ok plenty more ground still to come for you here on aljazeera including tensions running high in mali 3 protest leaders have been arrested after thousands of people on the president should step down. And in bosnia some of the victims from this represents a genocide a finally laid to rest a quarter of a century later. Hello the Tropical Storm fay was a fairly short lived Tropical Storm thank goodness you can see it here on the satellite and the beginning of the sequence is that massive cloud there very quickly came onshore and very quickly was downgraded into a tropical depression is still around but certainly it was coming on shore look at this some really good strong winds of course and it really made for some very good surf and conditions just just off the coast of maryland but to the north of there not quite so good of course it took came on shore and this is what we saw some very strong winds so it really was very heavy amounts of rain actually with some storm surge as well so it left the streets as you can see a several centimeters on the water now that system will combine with a frontal work its way through much of Eastern Canada work its way north through the back as we go through sunday so if you shows really across much of the east of the u. S. As you can see in and out across the west again a sketching it shows through the 4 Corners Region but really its about the heat very wholesome indeed in fact that are numerous heat warnings in place across areas in the south which is a well above the average across the fire danger is also elevated and then through monday well see more very heavy rain developing through central canada pushing that rain across into winnipeg and still showers all the way from the northeast right down to georgia and florida. A Global Pandemic mass protests demanding change economic recession and geopolitical tensions not to mention the small matter of a looming election join me Steve Clemons in conversation with leading voices on the bottom line your weekly take on u. S. Politics and society on aljazeera. Every generation has a higher purpose. Ours is to stay home. Welcome back lets recap the top stories for you so far this half hour millions of displaced people in syria will now have just the one Turkish Border crossing through which to receive aid thats after several attempts to keep a 2nd crossing open failed to pass at the u. N. Security council. Donald trump has won a face mask in public for the 1st time he was visiting a Military Hospital in maryland meanwhile the u. S. Has seen another daily high for a new infection. As the coded 1000 pandemic sweeps across latin america governments are struggling to contain the spread of the virus in bolivia a new wave of infections is threatening to overwhelm the countrys already Fragile Health Care System the interim president janinas has tested positive the government has confirmed at least 7 ministers including the Health Minister have also been infected lets bring in our last america to the sea a new man whos in the chilean capital santiago you see it good to talk again lets talk about bolivia 1st with so many government ministers out of the political loop now theyre sick there how can the government manage to push back against covert 19. Well thats a very very good question and there havent been really very many answers at least not over the last 24 hours when the infection rate has escalated very very rapidly indeed not only in the which is the most hopeful aid in the most densely populated part of the country about 500 meters above the capital la paz but especially in court which is the tropical part of the country where there are the 5 the the Health System is already collapsing and so are the symmetries where grave diggers for example say that they dont have the necessary protection gear and that theyre feeling very reluctant to continue to make room for more people who have who have passed on because of the virus saying that theyre just too overcrowded and whats really perhaps more extraordinary is that all of the president or the interim president on yes is infected and most of her cabinet she says shes going to push forward with president ial elections in less than 2 months the 1st week of september in response to this the Electoral Council has said that it hopes that the Political Parties understand but that theyre not going to make available some 5000000. 00 that are supposed to go to the Political Parties for campaigning saying that the Health System needs it far more urgently i didnt panama it looks like the public Health System there is hating towards a potential situation of collapse. Exactly were seeing the same thing over and over not just in latin america but in north america and in other parts of the world where countries start to ease restrictions thinking that they beat the virus and then they are of course they discover that theres a rude awakening that they were premature and thats exactly what weve seen in panama and i remember until now Central America was fairing far better than north and south america with the kid dangerous but now panama has had to declare even more strict laws down measures to deal with this new outbreak. Panamanians are paying a high price for having relaxed strict confinement measures that into 3. 00 weeks ago seem to have corona virus infections under relative control now the infection rate in the small Central American country of just over 4000000 people has become the highest per capita in all of latin america hospitals are on the verge of collapse. 1000 cases per day means that in the next few weeks we will have about 30 to 40 intensive admissions per day on a sustained basis there is no hostel that can sustain such a number of patients. There are around 44000 infections and more than 860 deaths in panama a huge number for such a small country by comparison neighboring costa rica with a similar population has fewer than 7000 cases and less than 30 deaths. Panama whose famous canal joins the atlantic and Pacific Oceans prides itself as a country opened to the world. But residents can now barely leave their homes in panama province which includes the capital. Under new lockdown rules men and women can go out on alternate days for just 2 hours a curfew is in place from 7 pm to 5 am and all day and night on sundays at the curve of infections continues on its vertical rise. That i get but i know. Ive been queuing for 2 hours waiting to be tested but the queue is too long and this song is really strong thats why im like this with my coats over my heads the sun is intense and im really not feeling well. The president has replaced the Health Minister but doctors say thats not enough theyre urging the government to impose a nationwide lockdown immediately before the infection spread to every corner of the country including remote indigenous communities where hell. Services are even less equipped to save lives you see in human aljazeera. Thousands of israelis angry over the governments handling of the economic crisis caused by the pandemic has been protesting in tel aviv demonstrators say aid packages have been delayed and they are insufficient israel reimpose tight restrictions earlier this week after the number of
