Faces a long hot Holiday Weekend of protest robert oulds aljazeera a little earlier we heard from journalist so joe almost has been covering the events in portland to give us an update on the situation overnight and how Police Officers try to prevent protesters from gathering me at one of their precincts the protesters had put online on social media had a time they were going to go to that and protest outside the Police Precinct so Oregon State Police.

So thats portland a memorial held in Washington State for a far right activists killed during those protests Aaron Danielson was shot during a confrontation with black lives matter demonstrators the months long protests there was sparked by the killing of george floyd back in may the federal government deployed forces in july to stop the violence we move on to other News Coronavirus and india has once again reported the worlds highest single day tally of new Coronavirus Infections on sunday more than 90000 cases with the death toll now surpassing 70000 the government says the rise is because of increased testing more than 4000000 people there have now tested positive for cocaine 19 we have got. With us director of the center for disease dynamics economics policy which is a washington based Research Organization hes in new delhi for us today thank you for your time i just want to go back a little bit before we look at the current numbers to the numbers which you predicted and this goes back to i think much you said you were talking about you know 302500 1000000 cases by the end of july but i dont think weve got to that level or do you think that actually the true numbers are higher than were even seeing now. Well separately do studies in india indicate that were probably undercounting cases by a factor of anywhere b d n a 100 perhaps even more and keep in mind that the 4000000 cases that you see are reported cases these are not the true inventions the sort of prevalence of these would indicate that were well above you know one of the people 100000000 infections drew infections right now because most of the surveys show that anywhere between 20 and 30 percent of indians are already infected so little so we dont know the reported numbers the reported numbers which we are guessing the 90000 which it was yesterday thats more than high enough do you believe it when the Indian Government says well this is just because were testing more thats similar to the argument thats put across in the United States sometimes well its the same argument around the world which is everyone knows that the report of infection which is what you see in the media and reported by governments are the little infection rate which is a function of you know many more people are getting infected and keep in mind the predictions we need were sort of situation where nothing would happen as a baseline but in spite of that we are already in the hundreds of millions of actions and i think at this point its hard to put. It back in the bottle so its pretty much uncontrolled epidemic at this point. Is the Health System not able to keep up with treating people with looking after people. Well the Health System the public Health System which is what is meant to detect test and isolate are you know was hobbled by not having enough testing early on in the epidemic so thats been a continuing problem here now has more than a 1000000 tests but many of these tests are to do tests which are not very accurate not to have guesses has been challenged in the urban areas. That are diseases now in many parts of india where there are not hospitals that are not private Health Care Facilities and its truly a challenge here because its an invisible epidemic there are people dying but theyre not getting counted or reported that plane so is there something that india can do do you think or lets not forget its a Huge Population as well its obviously youre going to have more people affected there but is there anything the country can do to start as we say flattening the curve. At this point to be honest not very much the time to have prepared for an emergency like this would have been before the emergency i think under the circumstances the level of seriousness with which they get a government has taken on this problem you know cant be done that theyve really done what was possible given the preparedness at this point of time you can buy beds you can buy you know oxygen equipment but you cant buy train doctors and you can encourage train doctors to go to rural areas you know 1. 00 to 1. 00 time be to so many things which are as you said india is the country that it is Large Population crappy transmission this is about all that could be done. On and on with his thoughts on the situation in india thank you for your time thanks for having. Well look at mexicos official death toll at more than 67000 the worlds 4th highest but the ministry of health says they have also been nearly 123000 excess deaths during the pandemic and in another sign that numbers are in fact much higher than 1st thought several Regional Government offices of run out of death certificates and Rights Groups say a lack of protective equipment has led to more medical workers dying from the virus in mexico than anywhere else well rabbinate has been at is a professor at the National University of mexico who says the real scale of this outbreak wont be known until the government starts testing properly there is a big brawl in mexico and a big fight. Between the. I was with their president and they were meant you know were talking about the code 19 and then me. Many people are talking about the warming. Of the kite theory a number of the liberal is the norm is now is not doing this. Only in mexico we have 1000000 of tourists by the corpsman. Was lives down one percent of the population in mexico and many people keep in common they werent no i dont know what is the real cause of the of the debt and when they go to the to the hospital or they seek a doctor to see the will they dont report that this is a big problem new mexico percent dont believe in the for example in the mask the coupon showed hes figuring in the deliberation with. Another big problem because if people dont believe that. The news is. Well medical School Graduates doctors and nurses theyve all protested in iraqs capital over a lack of covert 9000 precautions and also the luck of job iraq is witnessing a surge of new code 19 cases with a record 5000 new infections on friday on saturday the Health Ministry said hospitals are on the verge of losing control with the rising so lets talk to those who are in baghdad also we we went through the numbers yesterday you were telling us about why the spike is happening now these protests happening i mean it only compounds the problem. Yes they certainly do and that the situation is just getting worse here not only are the currents working for the Health Care Professionals very unhappy with the working conditions that they are working in right now they say that the graduates that are sitting at home are the ones that are really needed and the government is not doing enough there are over 31000 Health Care Professional graduates who are not or at the moment and this is because the government does not have enough money to bring them into the workforce and the ones that are working in hospitals have said that their working conditions are so dire at the moment that they are threatening to go on strike in the coming days this is something the country cannot afford there is right now about 30000 doctors in the entire country that is one doctor for just about 1250 people in iraq this numbers are astonishing and what is even more astonishing is that there are graduates sitting at home but the government says they dont have enough money to bring them back in to the workforce and that they are sitting at home the crowd just saying that they are waiting to do their residency if they dont have the appropriate documentation to be able to even leave iraq to work as doctors elsewhere in the world this is a situation that is just getting worse with the pandemic and the numbers continue to increase and the ones that are at work now say they are not only facing. Issues in the hospitals not enough people. But theres also their safety when it comes to dealing with a family members of the people that pass away from covert theres been a number of attacks on doctors and Health Care Professionals in the country with many victims the families of victims saying that the doctors havent done enough the doctors say that the government needs to protect them more and the Prime Minister has said that there are laws in place to protect doctors theyre just not being forced so the situation is just getting worse day by day and if their remaining doctors do you make good on their promise and they go on strike it is really going to be catastrophic for the country really is gosh thank you for that update on the situation in iraq we are around a quarter past this news outlets look at whats coming up look at how rebel army is making sure children are still going to school and despite a ban because of coronavirus also thousands of women lead another march against the russian president Alexander Lukashenko risking an increasingly tough response and another recalled for formula one champion Lewis Hamilton well have that and the rest of the sports a little later on this. Story out of to see for you at least one person reported been killed and another wounded in a stabbing attack that happened in the coastal city of suez say the National Guard says its killed 3 attack it. Well police in hong kong have fired pepper balls and arrested at least 30 protesters during Anti Government demonstrations there are these protests against beijings new security law which was imposed on the territory earlier in the year people are also angry about the delay in elections for Hong Kongs Legislative Council which were due to be held on sunday they have been delayed one year though because of the pandemic. So jim brown covering events in beijing in hong kong today going to tell me about things today the Police Tactics the Police Approach today adrian given this is considered an illegal protest. Yeah thats right some of the scenes youve just been looking at are reminiscent of what we saw a year ago but this was not on the scale of the protests of last september organized or june effectively what has happened here today as the police have managed to block a large planned demonstration and they did that by flooding the streets of callaloo Peninsula Area of nathan road up to 2000 police were deployed now that didnt stop small groups of people mingling with shoppers and chanting slogans in support of hong kong independence why does that matter well those actions that contravene the new National Security lauren people who are doing that of course risk arrest there were more than 30 arrests as you pointed out in your introduction and the police on least one occasion i saw used pepper balls firing in a street just diagonally opposite from here. In terms of what the Police Tactics were i think they were out to sort of preempt this demonstration before it began to shut it down before it could gather any sort of momentum which is what they were doing you know this time a year ago. As for what the demonstrators themselves feel theyve achieved well we saw plenty of individual acts of defiance on sunday and yes a lot of the protests to say our ability to stage large demonstrations have been curtailed but you know our voice has not been entirely silenced the reason why there was there was anger on sunday is this was supposed to be the day that the people of hong kong went to the polls but the government cancel those elections citing coded 19 but opposition groups say the reason why the Government Council the elections is because they knew that the pro establishment parties would face a severe dropping as they did during the local elections 10 months ago adrian youve reported for us from beijing for many years as well as hong kong what do you think the government in beijing their take would be on today would they be looking at this thinking well the security law its starting to work. Yes i think they will feel that in spite of what we saw today and there were a few violent scenes but overall the new security law is starting to have the effect that they wanted it to interesting enough some time next week we understand and it hasnt been confirmed yet but extensively reported in the local media here in hong kong is of the chinese president xi jinping is due to visit the city of shenzhen just across the border from hong kong and that will be the 1st time that hes visited chens in since the serious protests began last year in june so this will be the closest he would have come to hong kong during that time. Thank you adrian brown with the update from the protests in hong kong today. In the next hour another antigovernment protests is expected to begin this is in the better russian capital minsk it follows a womens r
