Broke into that building to take it over of course the wider issue here is that breakdown in diplomatic relations between china and u. S. Perhaps reaching the lowest point since the late seventys when diplomatic relations were restored and now might pompei or the secretary of state made a wide ranging speech at the Nixon Library earlier this week and that was really a window into the trumpet ministrations of procida wall days he frames this as a bottle of ideologies between the Chinese Communist party in the free democracies of the world there were many hints in that speech that other freedom loving nations should join america and persecuting the chinese also making it clear that any claims the chinese have in the South China Sea are not valid and in fact the u. S. Has deployed 2 cruise ships to that region a pretty rare move in this case but as for the president ial election i think this will play a pretty big role coming into novembers president ial election its one of the woods that President Donald Trump likes to say over and over again at china of course hes blamed the pandemic on the chinese calling it the chinese flu so that will factor in to this novembers president ial election i think but i think for people in the Business Community in the United States there are a great deal of concerns because it isnt that the moves the trumpet ministration are making are wrong its do they have the diplomacy to try and fix it so Going Forward with it were heading into pretty Uncertain Times between these 2 countries as this test for tat continues out 0 as i began to go live in miami and the many thanks.

Were really trying to get here is moved from as i said before using a very big hammer to trying to be more precise and what were doing instead of restricting everyone we try and go after the virus and we try and identify where the virus is and then specifically and surgically in a sense excised the virus from the community by minimizing the impact on the lives and livelihoods of the community by focusing in on cases and contacts and investigation so countries coming out of lockdown even countries with lower levels of disease will experience potential cases and clusters of disease im sure a sunny day go in london says the outbreaks are beginning to restrict freedom of movement between spain and other european nations. We even had belgium banning. Travelers from going belgian travelers from going to westgate out i go on and yea there the city that was primarily the 1st eruption of the of of the reemergence of cove it in the region alongside with that you have norway also now imposing a 10 day quarantine on people who have traveled back from spain and also france now urging people not to travel there and has requested the Spanish Government to try drastically reduce the amount of traffic going between its orders course france there are many tourists from france who do travel to spain and with also a slightly rising uptick in cases in france there as well the worry is of course that theyre going to be more brutal waves of code that could follow if its not contained and if its not really kept down with that in mind of course that the its the Summer Season in spain and really the lockdowns have come down people have resumed practically normal activities there in terms of socialising one of the major causes of concern is what is the way in which people have done the informal sort of parties and gatherings that are allowed there where mainly young people sort of gather with drinks that they bought and congregate there and thats also sort of a cause of consent trying to clamp down on that brazils president says that hes recovered from covert dive team after testing negative for the virus dryer ball so narrow has consistently downplayed the pandemic and dismissed coronavirus as a little shrew brazil has the worlds 2nd worst outbreak after the u.

S. Africa command also in may pointed out that orders or posted images of fighter jets russian fighter jets moving to just brought that South Central libya and the idea is that these are russian state jets obviously regular group or mercenary groups dont really have their own air force so this is and saying that the russians are building up their influence in libya and we also saw the russian and the turks suggesting that theres a work in there creating a working group to sort of deescalate the situation.
