crowded testing centers could put them in danger but. i think some measures should have been taken for example people should be separated when there are many of them it's not very good to have too many people gathered in one place some paper wary moscow not safety has become a hot topic especially on social media among the 11000000 residents of this latest campaign is voluntary i think it's fine everyone to keep it on distant offline hoffman says from each of the. old office says the epidemic people have have a great sense of responsibility to keep my distance from each of us to reduce risks there are now nearly 5000000 cases of covert 1000 around the world more than 300000 have died what started in china may be returning for a 2nd wave leah harding al-jazeera circle arc is monitoring the latest developments from hong kong. some of the latest data we've got from the national health

was in bad shape even before the virus outbreak mainly because of years of u.s. sanctions businesses are now doing everything they can to keep their doors open same as rob yes more from tehran. more than 83000000 people live in one of the most sanctioned countries in the world domestic brands dominate this big consumer market and how well the tehran stock exchange has been doing in recent years challenges conventional thinking about iran's economy out of the cold here do a lot of homework overrule the government intends to support the growth of the stock market this is our production we will help this market continue to flourish i say again the government is determined to increase the sales of its shares this is produced positive expectations and will continue to do so sanctions a force domestic investment which has been good for many local businesses but the covert 1000 pandemic has meant lost revenues in april shasta one of iran's biggest

government run holding companies decided to sell 10 percent of its shares its portfolio is enormous assets include mobile operators shipping companies pharmaceuticals construction petro chemicals the list goes on. a public offering is unprecedented and generating excitement about investing in stocks iranians who normally put their savings in real estate gold foreign currency even cars are investing heavily in the stock exchange and the government is making it easier to do so. in the past people mostly deposited the savings in banks banks invested it now it's become very simple there's a website called suggest the comprehensive financial information people register online and receive a trading code and they can buy she is 3 different broca's. but some iranians worry this is a cash grab during a downturn that this might be a bubble and new investors in a speculation driven market could lose their money. meanwhile small business is

a major part of iran's commercial landscape have been circling the drain since the beginning of the outbreak this ancient public bath and downtown had dozens of customers every day before the pandemic oh. we haven't had any business for a long time we kind enough to even pay the water below if it continues like this we would have to hand back these places to eat or not while there is growing confidence around the stock market working class iranians remain the most financially vulnerable many people living in this city have more immediate concerns like keeping a roof over their heads and food on the table in fact there are families that would indeed find it difficult to get by if it wasn't for the daily food rations they receive from local charities privatizing state owned assets means iran's post coronavirus economy could see more control in public hands something that could lead to long term growth but for now the economy is doing what it has been doing for years shrinking and working class communities feel the squeeze the most.

3 female leaders of the bobbies opposition who went missing earlier this week have been found outside the capital harare they disappeared during a demonstration led by the movement for democratic change when say they were beaten and sexually assaulted after being taken into police custody opposition party leaders say forces working for the president were behind the abductions about vice minister of information says he says there's an investigation underway elson jimmy said as the leader of the movement for democratic change is a say not a nation should investigate the abductions. well we had the records and reports of our youth leader that's being arrested i rested after there was a demonstration in one of the ideas there but. when there were a. demonstrating are going to lock down without the necessary support on troop support. groups. when this service was affected

it was expected on day right here that people. who were. alleged to participate in the demonstration but what we then got was that there was an abduction of those people could not be accounted for particularly our youth leaders that 3 female youth leaders there were only found the next day dumped by the roadside in the outskirts of cairo but they make an allegation that there were sexual abuse. they were treated. and inhuman and degrading treatment they were also subject to excessive torture during the night and that is the report we then. put across and we're given they made an appeal to the international community in particular the united nations to look into this matter because it had become a part in this economic trends of people being subjected to these abductions. so i

had on l.t. . interest surgeons are protests in hong kong we look at accusations china's envoy to hong kong is exceeding its power. it's a very young workforce with very little experience and that's dangerous under strain warnings the lack of funding for emergency workers in the u.s. could be costing the community. it's a very unsettled picture across much of asia seem plenty of cloud streaming to the east of japan in the last hours that the rain is certainly on the way and then all this you can see here that bright bundle there that is the remnants of what was a tropical storm of on falling so that will take the rain away from taiwan it will get caught up in this line of rain showers very heavy at times pushing through the

a question that people are going to be very intrigued to see and not just how it's supposed to work but actually whether it does in practice because after this extraordinary period of more than 500 days of caretaker government during which time we've had 3 elections which benjamin netanyahu has failed to score a decisive victory in or has lost and now this protracted negotiation since his former rival benny gantz decided to join the government which has resulted in this very strange government in israeli historical terms this government of prime minister and an alternate prime minister netanyahu in office for 18 months then dance but each of them retaining the status and title of alternate prime minister when not in office and this hugely inflated numbers of ministries to try to satisfy both their own rival power centers within that government also the egos and appeals for jobs from especially on netanyahu

side members of the likud party in the knesset it's a pretty unprecedented and unwieldy looking beast nonetheless it is at least for i suppose many people in israel a government that has finally taken shape after this long political crisis what was also interesting about the events in the knesset the israeli parliament a little earlier was just how much protest there was especially when benjamin talked about the issue of an exception he said that he would be writing a glorious chapter in the history of zionism by applying israeli law to the. illegal settlements in the occupied west bank of course under the trump plan the jordan valley and those settlements could be annexed to israel this is not withstanding the fact that dance is opposed to that unilateral action wants to see more consensus more international involvement. and the signals coming out from the

u.s. state department suggest that america also wants to slow him down nonetheless he made it clear in this initial statement that he very much himself saying he want to go it wants to go ahead with it i'm in areas you're speaking we do have a camera live on the knesset so that our viewers can see that as well before i let you go there let me ask what of the legal troubles of benjamin netanyahu where do things stand with that what next. well this is one of the extraordinary things about this the fact that he has lost or failed to win 3 elections has during the course of that period not become an indicted he was just a suspect in in 3 corruption cases he was indicted in this trial is due to start next weekend now that trial if it proceeds under israeli law the interpretation has been taken so far at least by the israeli supreme court is that

he can still stay in office until either he's convicted or. if he even even up until the point that he has exhausted all potential appeals so there appears to be no immediate threats to his legal status in office and he has been extremely clear that he wants to be in office and the interpretation being that he wants to do that because it's a much more powerful place from which to fight off this case than if he was just a normal israeli citizen or even a member of the israeli knesset and so under the terms of this deal he has 18 months in office but then the extra 18 months still is alternate prime minister which would legally give him the same potential status and and power and influence that he would have even if he had the the full power of the prime ministership so it's an important thing for him that he has this 3 years in this position to try to

fight this off as for the israeli opposition leader paid he said that it was clear that both of these men. who were much more interested in their own self-interest than the unity that they were talking about that they said much worse things about each other and continued to do so than he could ever say about him and he is predicting that this government will not really be a functioning one but will be rent by the dysfunction of this very very. different relationship between its 2 co-equal will to the prime minister is all right with the latest there must resume perry thank you very much now to some breaking news out of afghanistan the political uncertainty there it has come to an end and their president and his rival are signing a power sharing agreement ashraf ghani and his main challenger abdullah abdullah had been locked in a stalemate over last year's election it was disputed so del will now lead the council for peace talks and members have his team will form part of the cabinet.
