see iraqis use technology to mark the holiday. down domestic flights have resumed didn't the central government restrictions after a 2 month lockdown india has just announced another record jump in new cases in the past 24 hours 6977 with more cases being reported some states are pushing to limit the number of flights restarting speak to elizabeth for all and she joins us now live from new delhi so let's both why are they receiving flights of cases a spiking. well as we heard from the civil aviation minister last week when he said that flights would resume in part from

today monday he said that it's because corona virus is going to be around for a long time and india can't be under lockdown indefinitely and life has to go on so we did see the potshot resumption all flights from monday morning they will be around 600 today and airlines are planning to operate at about a 3rd of their capacity but there was so much confusion ahead of the flights restarting not knowing what states would accept flights if all states would accept flights and what their quarantine procedures would be upon arrival and we're already seeing a result of that confusion 82 flights in and out of the capital delhi have been canceled that's the cause a number of states decided very late on sunday night that they would only allow something like 25 flights landing into the capital cities the state of west bengal has asked that no domestic flights restart for another few days because it's dealing with the aftermath of last week's i clone so it is

a mixed picture they have restarted but as you mention the number of cases rising the worst affected states like maharashtra and have not to have real concerns and don't want any travel into the state whether it's the flights that restarted today or in fact the trains that restarted last week are you mentioned elizabeth bit of confusion going on so what does that trouble look like right now resume to what it was before the perm. absolutely not it's still only domestic flights as of today and the only international flights are those evacuation flights that the indian government began a few weeks ago. traveling you have to arrive at the airport even before you would normally have to check in counters are going to close i think 90 minutes before check in there are very strict measures in place to ensure social distancing

and everyone is thermal screened before and after the flight they have to wear masks throughout and all the states have set different procedures for arrivals the central government has said that people showing symptoms have to be taken in quarantine but the states have set different guidelines everything from what the center says to a mix of mandatory quarantine and home isolation and that is how it's going to be for now all right thanks so much elizabeth are on in there. u.s. president donald trump has announced travel restrictions on brazil to limit the spread of the virus it's now the 2nd worst hit country but that doesn't appear to be worrying president job or sonar rose been out on the streets with support to understand that the reports. the fight. matter took once again to the streets of

seemed interested in the surge of the pandemic now in another blow to paulson natto his ally u.s. president donald trump announced a ban for travelers from brazil resilience and it's it's really a law right that contrie like a moment and president right will soon i don't likes to explain for everyone that he has that kind of spatial relationship with president trump sole any kind of measure made by u.s. government in terms of the trouble bad can be a problem in terms of that narrative. but specifically with. a lot of time motion in the political debate year and probably the president will sign ari. pain at times off and that he wrote about the koran the virus crisis here. as the number of infections keeps rising health services are

increasingly under strain across the country with some doctors asking to take politics out of the response to defend them ik we have to let the people that are supposed to make the citizens make the right decisions for us to cope with this disease with the spirit he sees i think it should not be a political issue it should not be a government issue i mean just the ministry of health issue but this perfect storm of a health crisis coupled with an increasingly bitter political fight appears to leave little hope for improvement as the virus keeps hitting with lethal force and less than the m.p.'s. the number of deaths from a coronavirus in the us is fast approaching 100000 but despite warnings from health officials many americans have been out on the bounce enjoying

entirely sure but if they hadn't withdrawn they would have probably gotten killed and i think that would have caused problematic dynamics between russia and turkey since late august it's actually the russian mercenaries that have been able the ground offensive to not only continue but for how far still to actually make territorial headway so they gained ground since then since then because of the russians involvement as soon as they pulled out in roughly i would say 8 hours puffer lost the territory that he's gained in a month that's how much of a strategic military advantage these groups for the russian groups provided and now that that doesn't mean that the war has ended but it does mean that in terms of capturing tripoli let's say i don't think that it's realistic to assume that that will be possible if the let's say factors of how far it's not significantly escalate against turkey it's also worth noting that before pulling out they significantly let's say put idees and improvised explosive devices around tripoli

which points to the fact that they do not intend to be the attacking force again because they will be let's say affected by their own minds that they planted. still ahead on al-jazeera overflowing and overwhelmed hospitals in cemeteries in yemen unable to cope following an increase coronavirus cases. staying at home and feeling ignored how disabled people are struggling behind closed doors. the. head of the things will be at mass across much of western europe consequent the same about central and eastern areas this cloud is bringing with it well a cloudy picture but also plenty of rain which will work its way east was over the next couple of days mostly fine and dry throughout much of the mediterranean and look at this the eastern end of the med into cyprus pretty windy few days it has to
