7:02 am
a shootout at the prison located in the city of one addy around 450 kilometers away from us relatives were anxiously waiting outside. it i must say that and we want to know what really happened to our relatives we've been waiting since noon and we still don't know anything human rights representatives have not turned up or anything like you want to know what happened. pictures shown in local media show dozens of inmates dead the government says they were trying to escape but human rights groups say they were protesting for food and want a full investigation into what happened. since venezuela imposed a lockdown to prevent the spread of covert 1000 visiting rights have been suspended prisoners rely on their relatives for food and medicines. but it's not just in venezuela and rest has been on the rise in latin america on saturday in my now state capital of the state of a mass on as prisoners kidnapped 7 guards. then set the prison on fire
7:03 am
or 30 say they were trying to distract security forces to dig a tan and then escape the incident lasted for about 5 hours. this operation was a success we had several hostages and all of them are alive there were no casualties on the police side in which there were people injured but nothing serious no. violence is a regular occurrence in brazilian prisons as rival gangs fight for control. but the situation is different this time prisons 11 america are overcrowded and lacks any taishan a ticking time bomb for the spread of colvin 1000. what's going on is that prisoners are afraid because prisons are overcrowded conditions are bad in brazil for example there is no running water so how can you ask inmates to wash their hands restricting visitors is also a problem because it's a lifeline for inmates that depend on them to get food hygiene products. human

rights groups say we do using overcrowding is needed to reduce the spread of disease. but it poses a major challenge for countries where resources are already running short. that is how will. well meanwhile venezuela has eased its restrictions for the 2nd weekend allowing children and senior citizens to go outside for a few hours president nicolas maduro stressed the importance of wearing protective masks and social distancing. i want to confirm to all of venezuela to morrow said. and sunday we will have more flexibility for boys and girls and for older adults people over 65 on these days start your day and sunday pay attention where your face masks your hat or your protection with gloves on. now thousands of palestinian laborers have been going back to work in the past couple of hours after israel reopened dozens of crossings but there are fears of health risks because of
7:05 am
the coronavirus outbreak last month private employers were accused of dumping palestinian workers who showed coded 1000 symptoms at checkpoints rights groups criticized israel for a failure to ensure the safety of those workers and let's get an update now from new to abraham who's in bethlehem for us needed just how busy are those crossings looking. it's basically coming in waves we've. 2 palestinian checkpoints and they are checking that only those who have coordinated access them and are and now we have huge this void which is very close to an israeli military checkpoint which is basically when they're going to be allowed entry into israel the interesting thing is many of the workers are carrying their blankets usually it's been a daily commute for them going and working in israel but this time it's going to be a long time for them to stay in israel that is really authorities have said that
7:06 am
those who crossed back into the occupied west bank won't be allowed to come back again into israel now we're expecting these people to come nearly in 3 weeks which is in time for. a photo which is an islamic holiday so it's going to be a real task for the palestinians so far they said that they're going to be coordinating their entry back into the occupied west bank to ensure that there is no outbreak it's important to note that around 2 thirds of instructions in palestine have come from workers and those around them so it's been a very difficult decision for the palestinian authority to try and strike a balance really between public health and the safety of the palestinian citizens but also to kind of maintain the economy that has taken a hit from covered 19 we're talking about 2 and
7:07 am
a half $1000000000.00 of revenues that these workers bring into the palestinian economy each year and they're also important for israel's economy and it is there an indication or of how these workers will be protected while in israel especially after those reports of labor's being dumped at the border. it's really hard to find any get and t.'s palestinians live under israeli occupation and these workers go into israeli workshops mainly the 3 criteria is that have been allowed to go to work to the infrastructure of agriculture and industry and it's hard for palestinians to ensure that they are really saved and that it's not clear if israel is going to be treating them in their own hospitals we've seen many scenes of palestinians who are suspected to have the virus that the been dumped in the street waited for a palestinian ambulance to pick them up the palestinian authority has said it's
7:08 am
impossible to really test each and every workers so this is why it was said that their movement back is going to be rewarded needs and hopefully they're not going to contract the virus but the numbers in israel out of much higher than they are in the occupied west bank so it's really a wait and see how israel is going to be dealing with them and abraham there for us in bethlehem thank you very much for that update nina. nearly ha of the states in the us have partially reopened for business as the number of deaths that passed 66000 so far testing shows more than 1100000 people infected with 1000 nationwide but as robin don't reports there is a glimmer of hope in new york as cases that continue to decline. military jets flew information over the marble monuments of washington d.c. and over a hospital in baltimore 'd in a symbolic salute to doctors nurses hospital workers and others on the front lines

7:12 am
intelligence headquarters so what we're seeing is that i saw is now resorting to directly attacking the security forces which is something that we didn't see over the past years what we've seen until now was i saw for example planting improvised explosive devices in rural areas or trying to intimidate or terrorize civilians living in remote areas but these attacks on security forces there are a sign that i still is more emboldened and capable of actually launching these operations now what appears to have happened last night is that the group attacked a checkpoint of the popular mobilisation forces killing 6 people in daraa gunfire and a subsequent military operation to respond to that attack 3 additional people were killed in. in addition to that one other member of the popular mobilization forces was killed so that's the death toll of 10 what is important to say here is that one of the 10 people who were killed are members of the so-called tribal popular

7:17 am
entirely but president donald trump has invoked a wartime law ordering poems to stay open to avoid any shortages alan fischer has. empty shelves might become the new normal for a while some stores have run out of meat and there's no sign of when they'll get you deliveries more than a dozen meat processing factories have been forced to close because of covert 19 the system requires workers standing close together in a pattern repeated across the country one gets sick many others inevitably fall in neat asa sink. the work by its very nature is very crowded people have to standard very closely together as they're working on the line to process it is a need that are going by very very quickly the closure of fact to use from missouri to colorado from virginia to south dakota creates a real problem in the supply chain farmers know have thousands of animals they need to feed and how use not something that budgeted for we've got to be able to move to
7:18 am
move our cattle further along in the process and right now there's a bottleneck our supply chain literally causing a lot of issues and some concern for our producers donald trump is so concerned about supermarkets running out of meat that he's used an old war time law to keep the meat processing factories open he's designated them as critical infrastructure but unions are concerned that that might mean what kids' safety is put it risk they're worried federal guidelines will be ignored one expert says a see what force means less threat to the food supply if you're looking at risks of outbreaks if we don't practice these infection control steps measures or on the other hand we're looking at some possible reduction in food supply but not necessarily shortage so it's really necessary to prevent the outbreak so that we process in the 70s can continue to operate the u.s. government says it expects the shuttered factories to be back up and running in
7:19 am
days not weeks but those in the food industry say the impacts of dealing with the virus will last months alan fischer al-jazeera falls church virginia. oh germany italy and spain have joined other e.u. states in supporting the suspension of legally required air travel refunds joining this pandemic they've called for airlines to temporarily off a voucher instead of refunds when ships are counseled and lines across europe including lufthansa. have sought state bailouts as lock downs have forced them to ground their fleets i spoke to geoffrey thomas he's the editor in chief of airline ratings dot com he says a lot more needs to be done to assist allan's with their recovery. i think across the globe we've all got to make concessions this is all costing us money but at the same time you know whether we whether we're supporting our local leyline or a fiver daylon or a local restaurant with tyco ice. everybody needs help and the airlines are no
7:20 am
different because the airlines are losing hoth of their revenue for 2020 and some of the buy a lot sort of being required across the globe are absolutely massive the in the united states it's about $50000000000.00 for the usa alliance and they stacked sort of number is replicated in certain jurisdictions and others it is not so there's a lot of given type he at and certainly we want to preserve as many of these airlines as we possibly can for that very highly competitive market we want post covered 19th in certain jurisdictions it has been enough for instance in the middle east some of the countries they have stepped up significantly like at the top in other jurisdictions they haven't been a struggle you know for instance the the federal government there really has not stepped up to support its 2. and so coming out of post covered and
7:21 am
saying you're going to get some airlines that are very well looked awful other ones that are not so be it will be a very unbalanced playing field. but 19 a lot more needs to be done because i view is the is the fabric of the economy of the world and we need a robust aligned system to help with this recovery. well after 7 weeks of lockdown spaniards have been allowed to leave their homes to exercise the country's been one of the hardest hit in the wild but the numbers of infections and deaths are now decreasing spain's prime minister has urged caution though and says that mosques will be compulsory on public transport for next week. has been a taste of freedom in spain for 7 weeks people here in july 1 of the strictest social restrictions in europe now they're allowed to exercise outdoors most adults can walk or play sports during set our was in the morning and evening restaurants
