Is a senior clinical electra the university of Exeter Medical school he explains the surge in the number of infections in europe and the u. S. I personally feel this is a continuation of the pandemic rather than a start of a new wave the the number of cases only went down because we went into a lockdown but when we went into a lockdown the case numbers were down but they were not 0 or they were not in perspective really low and what happens when the viruses out there in circulation and then you start opening up things like night clubs socializing meeting in restaurants clubs bars clubs etc and pretending this is the important bit and pretending that its all over let us resume because we need the economy to run unfortunately we get these huge number of new cases created we must accept that the virus is in circulation we must open the kaname but we must be very very careful why are we not doing this baffles me and i worry about the United StatesUnited Kingdom europe and the rest of the world there has been a pressure from the economy side to open up and i feel for example the United Kingdom opened up prematurely and i feel the health and the economy should run together which is we Work Together on how we open it safely rather than open it prematurely and unsafely.

Sidewalk tao is grateful his family survived the outbreak he says hes now trying to shift his focus from counting his losses to making do with whats left katrina you aljazeera on. These are live pictures coming to us now from portland the u. S. City is bracing for another night of protests against racism and Police Brutality anger of the presence of federal agents sent by President Donald Trump is not going dull the demonstrations which was sparked by the killing of george floyd have been going on now for more than 8 weeks you can see there some protesters wearing helmets are obviously prepared for whatever might come but lets bring in soldier almost who is a freelance journalist he joins us now via skype from portland surger youve been out in the thick of it just put a picture whats it been like there on the streets. You know the last few days youve seen thousands of people maybe 3 to 4000 people a Large Coalition of moms and helmets dads and hard hats last night we had a wall of veterans and. Leaf blowers to blow back tear gas at the same time you know theres been so much tear gas expended the last few days that people are reporting the next day that theyre feeling burns on their skin so while this is happening in a very small part of portland and not even all of downtown its just part of downtown what were seeing in front of the federal courthouse is significant. Just not apologize to some of our view is you might see some language on some of those signs that some viewers may find offensive this is live television. So as you know the federal agents as weve been saying is being sent to protect federal buildings and some of them have been accused of other stepping the mock what have you been seeing. Yeah and the New York Times today reported that stretching the legal limits there was one of my by lines you know the thing is that federal officers have always protected federal buildings and the federal protective service is in charge of the courthouse however the trumpeter ministration has sent certain tactical teams here to portland and now to other cities and what we saw last night for example and the night before was federal officers would declare an Unlawful Assembly something that usually happens with local police and they would come out and clear the streets sometimes going a couple blocks up and you know on july 15th at 2 in the morning. A man named mark pettit boone says he was walking away from the protests a couple blocks away and a van came up to him with 4 men in camouflage jumped out said its ok its ok grabbed him and threw him into a van he was detained overnight and released without charges. He says he doesnt know which agency arrested him we now know that it was one of the 4 agencies u. S. Marshals but a protective Services Customs and Border Patrol or ice is sort of a separate issue portland is a lot safer than it is connected portland is a majority white how does the black community feel about the demographic of the protest is i mean ive seen some concerns about the coopting of the movement. Well it is very white its one of the whitest big cities in america but what weve seen at these protests is a lot more people of color than usually see important protests and ive covered them for years here there are a lot more people of color and. While thats why the movement on this is not really organized by one group a lot of the people who are speaking and on the bullhorn are people of color now there is a diverse range of opinions within the black community here about the protests some dont like the the what was the vandalism and the throwing Water Bottles the Police Officers others say that that kind of thing has always been necessary because police will never allow you to be protest peacefully they will point to calling capper nick and say he wasnt harming anyone and still they rejected him but the thing is that the last few days you know last week and a half everything is changed the presence of federal officers has really changed the conversation here where there is very little there there is its a very minority opinion here at this point that if that that is still criticizing protesters the vast majority of criticism is now being levied against the trumpet ministration and these federal officers what is it about about portlands that has. A point. So you know portland has a history of activism and so some might say thats what it is you know its unclear this city is is surrounded by very conservative rural voters very the trump base outside of Portland Oregon is a very liberal city and very democrat blue. And its very very few people of color at the same time those because there are so few people of color i think that. They are more theyre feeling the its a more potent feeling of they feel when they see Something Like george floyd to them because they theyre very powerless in this and this in a city that made it you know they dont theyre not majority of anything i think that might be one reason why they took the streets with a bit more. Potency that then in other cities where its a lot more diverse.
