clee important areas held by have to us forces attacks on civilian areas in tripoli are becoming more common there's no absolutely no way that a military takeover would have been possible without some civilian casualties the problem at this stage is that the social and at their mercy or any perception let's say of the legitimacy of the libyan our armed forces or of the potential military leader have completely dissipated from most of the residents in tripoli because they realize that if previously some of them believe that this there's actually a cohesive disciplined army now a year on having seen the way this conflict been for and having witnessed. both sides really behave particularly the libyan our armed forces they really equate them with them and with the militias that are in the capital people in the city have lived with shelling drone strikes and other area attacks from halftimes forces

while the ground war comes the closer to their homes. several international institutions along with the united nations have been calling on half the us forces to refrain from attacking civilian facilities and residential areas such calls have largely been ignored as this cait over tax rises by the day many civilians here are blaming the international community for not doing enough to protect them. and what to do i hate. tripoli now the un mission in libya has called for those who have broken international laws to be brought to justice it's tweet also mentioned the damage to passenger aircraft fuel storage facilities firefighting trucks and the passenger lounge as well as the civilian casualties now these horrifying attack saddam did occur on a regular basis close to civilian neighborhoods and said that the heavy shelling is

one in a series of indiscriminate attacks most of which are attributable to pro have to forces killing more than 15 civilians since the start of this month while the number of krona virus cases globally has crossed 4000000 with the u.s. accounting for more than a quarter of them and former president barack obama has described donald trump's handling of the pandemic there as an absolute chaotic disaster obama said this in a conference call with former members of his administration which was leaked he added that the current administration appears to have a mind set of what's in it for me and to heck with everyone else the u.s. has reported about 1300000 infections and more than 77000 deaths erica is a us political analyst and has written a book on the republican party he says the comments by president obama may have been strategic. we're talking about a former president speaking to about 3000 of his former employees people who worked

for him in the white house people who understand acutely how important it is to keep things and work in the fact that the president makes such biting comments about the current occupant of the white house you one has to six-pack that the president actually wanted these comments to get out the question is why would he want them out and why would he want them out now given that the united states is confronting this virus this pandemic knowing that the president certainly will attack and again americans are still left reeling trying to basically fend for themselves as a bit of the pandemic is reaching now upwards of 80000 people and the number of deaths that have been caused by this virus president barack obama is attempting to do at this moment in time right now is to unify the democratic party and to also signal not only to those who work in the administration but also to those as you

mentioned who may be who may be on the fence right now who may be not ready to actually get behind a joe biden's candidacy i think what the former president is doing is signaling that he is working for the democratic nominee and that he needs everyone on board and he's making it clear that he too will be working as he said and as it was leaked he will be working as hard as he can to alexa joe biden in the fall. brazilian president has been described as the biggest threat to his country's ability to respond to the krona virus he's been facing sharp criticism for continuing to downplay the severity of the pandemic but still has plenty of supporters at home. reports. as brazil recorded more than 10900 deaths on saturday supporters of president of the sending their game on the capital brasilia to defend their battered leader and demand an end to down

measures they rallied in front of the country's supreme court angry after it allowed an inquiry into the president for allegedly interfering in a police corruption case against. all this happening while a study by top brazilian universities says the country is still weeks away from reaching the peak of infections and predicting more than $60000.00 deaths by next month the highest death toll anywhere besides the united states in escaping at the tauriel the british medical journal the lancet. who continues to dismiss the effects of the outbreak is the biggest threat to easing the crisis the governor of brazil's most populous states extended a lockdown in this region until the end of the month backpedaling on an earlier promise to start reopening the state on monday and implicitly attacking will so now . we're going through the worst moments of this pain dimmick but it's not

recognised not say not understood by those who are blinded by hate or by personal ambition. medical officials in rio de janeiro in a lease for their major cities have warned that their hospital systems are on the verge of collapse among them and now it's in the heart of the amazon region where 500 more coffins arrived by boat to deal with the surgeon deaths nobody knows exactly how many died to cope with 19 because of insufficient the late testing for instance. since the 2nd most populated state in brazil we have only 3000 cases but then we have almost 100000 suspected cases that have been tested so far so the numbers are clearly much worse then we know the government has absolutely no idea of the true extent of the problem in. the health minister

himself has admitted to lying through this. and know ready bleak situation the promises to become even harsher as the weeks go by at least in the. south korea is a reported its highest number of daily cases in the month after a small outbreak emerged around several light clubs in the capital seoul $34.00 new cases were registered on sunday 1st has warned of a 2nd wave of the epidemic later in the year his government is destructions after cases twiddled in april addressing the nation earlier on sunday june said that will turn the country into a pace setting economy in a post 19 era but pride has more from seoul. i think he has been regarded as setting something of an example for the rest of the world the response by south korea or moon jane's government has been widely applauded by the international community so he did at the beginning of this speech is quite unusual

for him to make a speech like this it marks the 3rd anniversary of him taking office here in south korea he did take time out for a bit of a victory lap a deserved one it could be said saying that south korea with the kind of testing that it puts in place and tracing of cases had certainly set a world standard that other countries are trying to now emulate it went to you as you recall from being the 2nd worst affected country in the world after china with the coronavirus now ranking 38th in terms of the number of cases so something of an achievement but what lies ahead is quite grim. and talked about how to recover the economy as we stand on the verge of a global recession south korea is of course export driven and it is a fact that this year people won't be upgrading their latest samsung smartphone or they'll be putting off buying that motor car until next year all the kind of things that are going to hurt south korea so very much focusing on the use of high

technology of the 5 g. networks that we have here in south korea really to try to recover the economy through so-called norm face to face industries more tele working and so on so basically charting this high technology new deal as he called it way forward for south korea. still ahead here on al-jazeera will tell you why european governments think cycling is part of the solution as they allow people back out again around. the world loses one of rock n roll's founding fathers little richard dies at the age of 87 we'll look back at his life and legacy. hello the weather is looking lousy dry and fine across the middle east over the

as other sources of energy pick up saudi arabia and all of the gulf monarchies are facing real fiscal challenges saudi arabia in particular making that move to pull back from yemen was related i think to its fiscal constraints and its desire to that verse of pie its economy away from oil but that has proven to be a very difficult task in the past from the 170 to on words petro states have been trying to diversify but it is proving to be a very very difficult task and of course all of the countries are dependent on rebounding oil prices and as the united states in particular struggles to contain the corona virus there's a lot of concern here about how cautious consumers are going to be no in seeds airlines in particular rebounding any time soon because of the difficulty in public health when iraq fryman established heavy me hoss had his 1st cabinet meeting since
