and ensured that. followed by gets on because of what god was tortured thing because this is the fall country and yesterday and the lack of awareness that exacerbated this problem because i guess on decided to leave down on the low down towards the end of ramadan and god has led today's news. so it's a war to salema as adults with the pakistan institute of medical sciences and she explains how much of a strain is on hospitals and stall. you have run out of the beds there are no beds available night during the isolation centered quarantine centers are full. having no when to later spirit when to later if somebody dies and then some others come so this is a situation you are not going to find some sort of way you can claim to later our beds are and you are in isolation in the i.c.u. zora even the corentin centers because let me add this is getting beyond our

capacity and the had not prepare well for it so this is getting worse and it is still not cool people believe in the for now and though worse and that is the situation that even our health care workers getting infected and fact i can tell about my department out of the 10 people the are woking 5 of them have been infected and imagine the workload on grif i phone them and how much exposure data getting because you work in such a situation you have to plan that for how are juggling to expose your healthcare workers and how you are going to equip them with the personal protective equipment and we are even liking that we are not having a proper person protective equipment provided to us and more on the health strains we are having and we are not even had proper places that those ciphered doctors of god in fact are our knowledge even getting the proper place where they could isolate themselves like we are in this sort of crisis situation or even the health

care workers. from. it's not only about the number of deaths is about the number of infections in the last 24 hours there's been the run $2400.00 new infections that's similar to the numbers we saw at the peak of the crisis which has raised some concerns about a possible 2nd wave president rouhani came out and one lock down measures could be reimposed if people continue not to abide by the health ministry measures now that's after the health minister reported that those abiding by those measures had decreased from 80 percent to 20 percent and now we have seen an increase in number of infected cases but iran is in a difficult position going into this crisis this was around 41 percent there was a rise in unemployment and according to the international monetary fund the economy had shrunk in the last 2 years but there's also the issue of the united states sanctions against iran that has drastically reduced its oil revenues so any

decision to remove poles lock down measures considering the state of the economy will be very difficult and will be taken reluctantly by the government but president rouhani has said that in the last 2 years this country has faced some of the toughest sanctions but according to him iran has done much better than some of the european countries chinese health officials are reporting 57 new coronavirus and such and such the highest number of daily cases in 2 months more than half of them were detected in beijing a district in the capital is under a strict lockdown to cluster in the cities because wholesale market and new cases have spark fears of a 2nd wave of infections to be compiling reports now from hong kong. after nearly 2 months of no new local infections and life slowly returning to normal china's capital is once again drastically stepping up measures to prevent the spread of a new coronavirus cluster dozens of cases are linked to the asian the wholesale

scattered showers and is a similar story and she's a very heavy on shoes there but again as i say having 3 shanghai and to the east of much of japan but a warm day in a socket 30 celsius and the same across into taken at least on choosing a slight break in this particular area through eastern areas of china now the same time the rains are making very good progress across areas of india but again that does come with a downside which is a flooding you can see him or her rush to these various cities across the state where the fighting has been quite variable but look at the amount of rain here and that's because some areas have seen as much as 86 millimeters of rain in a very short space of time more rain in the 4 calls tree monday because it will continue and she's a bit away from there to the north where it's dry it's holt's in you jenny. i don't think in isolating times the listening post cuts through the noise you've

been looking at another side of the story now from the information around the outbreak but the misinformation separating propaganda from fact look it's reality and you have to reach a lot exposing the optics try to manipulate the rhetoric and but they cannot manipulate the listening post your insight going to the media on al-jazeera. again you were actually out of your mind brought up stories into and health care systems in pakistan and india they're on the verge of collapse as cases of 1000 spike both countries have seen record rises in the number of new infections in the

past day. chinese health officials are reporting 57 new corona virus infections that's the highest number of daily cases in 2 months more than half of them were detected in beijing officials are calling for increased testing to prevent the virus from spreading. the nigerian military says it's been striking back against fighters who killed at least 60 people in northeastern nigeria a group called islamic state west africa province says it carried out the twin attacks against civilians and soldiers in borno state. 2 united nations peacekeepers have been killed in an attack on a convoy in northern mali the un's mission chief for the west african country says they were part of a logistics convoy it had stopped on the test illegal road when the gunmen attacked comes after the u.n. appealed for more support for the rest of her region which is seen hundreds of civilians targeted in recent weeks. so korea has held an urgent security meeting after the sister of north korea's leader threatened military action community

young's that warning is the latest escalation of tensions involving defectors from the north you've been sending food and propaganda over the border analysts say the north is trying to pressure the south on denuclearization talks which are stalled john nelson writers the career foundation fellow it chatham house and senior lecturer at cambridge university and he says it's likely the situation in the korean peninsula will deteriorate further. i think it is a serious situation the south koreans are clearly worried is indicated by the convening of that important security meeting this morning from the point of view of north korea's intentions the message coming out of pyongyang loud and clear is they already are on the point of breaking out all communications hotlines already been settled with south korea as to the north dismantling the liaison mission which was established as part of the improvement in via lateral relations and i think the mood at the moment is that we may see some sort of low level provocation

potentially even the use of military force that could take place or dispatched perhaps in the northern limit line the maritime space between the 2 koreas. it's even possible the new rules might contemplate yet another nuclear test although i think we should be cautious about overemphasizing the danger of that but there's no doubt that pyongyang feels a profound sense of impatience at its failure to get any relaxation of international sanctions the route to washington at the moment is going through so that's why it seems we're seeing so much pressure on the moon administration but i think that's a misread it's mistreated the american position and i don't think it will immediately produce results of the north koreans are hoping for. britain is marking the 3rd anniversary of a fire in a london apartment block which killed $72.00 people the prime minister boris johnson led tributes to the virtual service because of the parade of ours locked down the fire spread quickly through grenfell tower because of its flammable

clouding an inquiry has also highlighted significant failings by the fire brigade gena hall in london he says the investigation is making slow progress. well there's been a public inquiry ongoing for quite some time now it was halted in march because of lock down that's made some progress at pointing to where failings lie but not very much progress in pointing to direct accountability yes the flow of the cladding was the problem the cladding that turned out to be flammable that allowed the flames to lick up the outside of the building completely defeating the fire crews below and the government has made some progress at replacing cladding on other buildings like grunfeld but the labor party kissed ahmed the leader of the labor party pointed out in a video message to a church service here earlier that there are still 2000 buildings in the country with this clouding on some 56000 people it's estimated live in conditions at risk of a fire just like grenfell in the fire brigades union says look for the next fire may not happen in a bar like kensington in london

a pretty rich bar it will be at many of the residents in the building were not they may not be attended by the number of fire crews who came here the victim the results there for next time could be far far worse and again it all adds to campaign is pointing to the need for change change which i say as i say 3 years on has been far too slow in coming. a british prime minister bros johnson has condemned a far right demonstration in london as a racist thuggery. thousands of people gathered in london on saturday claiming they wanted to protect statues it had been defaced during previous anti racism much as some of the far right crowd attacked police officers pull down barriers meant to keep part from the smaller black lives matter demonstration. in venezuela the opposition leader won quite 0 is refusing to recognise the appointment of a team to oversee the next parliamentary election supremes court named new leaders for the national electoral council has been repeatedly accused of favoring the

ruling socialist party and its boycotted the presidential election won by nicolas maduro 2 years ago because they said voting was rigged. not only are they clearly committing a crime they're making a huge political mistake it's a mistake that i'm sure will be there are doing in this moment venezuela is going through not only did they make a mistake and 2017 when they called for an illegal national constituent congress and in 2018 when they tried to push through a fake election once again they make a mistake that isolates them even further it also means venezuelans will suffer because it isolates us it prevents us from getting credit prevents us from solving social issues and prevents us from solving the humanitarian emergency this pandemic . chile has a new health minister after his predecessor resigned in a controversy over the underreporting of coronavirus cases yami monoliths was under mounting pressure to quit after it was revealed $5000.00 chileans have died during

the crisis that's 2000 more than the government reported total chile has more infections per 1000000 than any other country in south america when a republic has this report. it is a bit of a surprise to hear the resignation of chile's health minister on saturday especially given the fact that is right now going through the worst phase of the corona virus outbreak in the country there but health minister munnell each is a somewhat of a controversial figure he's been heavily criticized for taking what's being criticized as a as a relaxed role for not implementing more robust mitigation measures to contain the spread of coronavirus in chile comparing the the efforts and she led to efforts in neighboring countries like argentina which implemented a total lockdown so the president of. the has been under a lot of pressure from political opponents to replace the health minister all of that culminating now with the resignation of my knowledge but if we to if we look

at chile right now just to reiterate a few of the of the statistics she was supposed to be an exception to the rule in latin america even before the outbreak began in the region in latin america was expected to be ill prepared it was said that latin america spends less on health policy than any other country in the world there was an expectation that she would do better than most of the other countries in the region unfortunately what we're seeing is that she lay again is one of the worst hit countries in the region according to the latest statistics of over 167000 infections and 3100 in one deaths. 2 the final report about 0 series is looking at the impact of $9000.00 is having on indigenous communities and we're focusing on ecuador now it has the highest death toll per 1000000 people of any country in latin america but the indigenous community has used ancient and new methods to fight back on latin america to loosen human has this report. is an especially world

the pandemic. those who disobey by breaking curfew or other irresponsible behavior are submitted to indigenous justice. for. these young men are being punished with 8 to 16 hours of community work and conclude everything from cleaning this plaza to public toilets it's a moral sanction meant to embarrass them before the community that you are not the police sometimes hands them over to us and we assign the punishment. the results are impressive. in this community of $120000.00 there hasn't been a single death from cold 19 nothing short of miraculous in the country with the highest death toll per capita in latin america. am there is nevertheless suffering on account of the pandemic. it's famous for its roses one of ecuador's main exports but with the world economy on lockdown there roses have been wilting
