administration extends a hand of brotherhood towards the new parliament now his tone was very positive but you look if you look at the context of the relationship between the presidency and the parliament in the previous years if you look at the political context of what has happened to president hassan rouhani is especially since the collapse of the 2050 nuclear deal then you can understand that perhaps the content of his message the words he used could be seen as defensive this is a president who the previous parliament made 10 attempts to impeach ministers in his cabinet and they succeeded in impeaching 3 of his ministerial cabinets this is the previous parliament that did this that was relatively more reformist leaning than the current parliament and if there are 2 more impeachments if you lose those 2 more ministers then this presidency will have to go back to the parliament to achieve a vote of confidence to continue and finish out this last year in power now experts suggest that that is not going to happen that the government all branches all
12:22 pm
leaders want to see president hassan rouhani complete this and have a smooth transition into the next presidency but we have seen the readout from the supreme leader a message from him to this new parliament also said that it is the parliament's job to investigate the other branches of government. and the u.s. president has run into trouble with his favorite form of mass communication twitter has labeled 2 tweets on donald trump's official account as misleading and refers to a check says the social media company's new policy is stifling free speech and interfering with this u.s. presidential election and afraid as a chief technology correspondent at the news website access and says it's taken the social media giant a long time to act on these types of tweets. there are 2 areas where twitter has said specifically they would be more aggressive one of those is misinformation around the virus so we've seen them take action against the brazilian president
12:23 pm
over that and then also on election misinformation so this is one of the 2 areas where they said they'd be more aggressive that said they have never taken action in 3 and a half years of presidential tweets and there have been plenty that have been misleading this is the 1st time that they've labeled it so it's still a major moment i think there's been a lot of pressure but initially if you remember in 201617188 lot of the focus was on coordinated in authentic behavior so outside of the u.s. influences on elections so whether it was russia or china or whomever it was other countries using bots attempting to interfere the more recent issue has to do with misinformation but intentional by individuals so it's not you not them to behavior it's actually president term it's just that the information itself it's false and the platforms have been much less able to deal with this it's much easier for them to take a look at you know a 1000 bots that are repeating the same thing and saying ok that's definitely not
12:24 pm
allowed where it gets harder is when you have the actual president whether it's brazil's president tweeting misinformation about the coronavirus or president trump tweeting false information about the election that is much harder a cone of highest crisis now in the wild household than ization is warning of a sage and infections in brazil peru and chile as evasion becomes a new global at the center of the pandemic as latin america's wice affected country with any 400000 confirmed cases studies warning its death toll could climb 5 fold by august task force. away from the sandy beaches of rio we rational and fabiano the gun that are trying to locate covert patients in they've 1115. they have just recovered from 1000 themselves and are now working on their day off to help those in need of. hospitals are full most

cases were not serious so this way we could help them to going to people where to go with visiting people and also to see their problems in their homes small houses with not a lot of airflow we could give an overall guidance on care and cleaning. as the amount of cases of coal with 1000 continues to rise in brazil these doctors believe that early detection is crucial to saving lives. that's why they have turned this somebody's school into a temporary office story coming to phone these people have been historically abandoned by society and politicians they have no access to public health care a cannot afford medicines that is why we are here. people like that the end of the sources say they have been abandoned by the government. it makes you scared very scared there are a lot of people who believe the virus is a lie from the politicians but it's not
