4:07 pm
on bali hole to base imports and also wants chinese students against studying in a stroller well the government has been careful not to point the finger at beijing publicly it's the country most widely speculated by intelligence experts to be behind the cyber attack and one of the few states along with russia iran and north korea which would be capable of carrying out such an attack whoever is to blame the government is businesses to strengthen their technical defenses as the attacks increase gauge 0 camera. now then the u.s. secretary of state might pompei or has accused former national security adviser john bolton of being a traitor he's reacting to bolton's new book which says that president trump trying to enlist the help of foreign leaders to win reelection bolton is now being targeted on social media pumping his use unusually strong language and series of
4:08 pm
tweets he accused bolton of spreading lies and outright falsehoods and labeled him a traitor say a pump a went on to criticize him for violating the people's trust and damaging america where a legal battle over the book is now in a federal court and the trump ministration has asked for a temporary restraining order to block its release but bolton is asking the court to dismiss the case speaker of the u.s. house of representatives said that the allegations in the book prove that trump is unfit to serve and official reports now from washington d.c. . from the white house a mixed reaction to the impending release of the john bolton book from the president a tweet bolton's book which is getting terrible reviews is a compilation of lies and made up stories all intended to make me look but from his press secretary a different approach the book is full of classified information. a misguided hawk on foreign policy and a weak government author this is despicable that he chose to publish this book
4:09 pm
without fully going through the review process chromos top treated visor a personal attack by the it's the washington swamps equivalent of revenge he got fired because he did not obey the chain of command because his views were totally out of sync with the president down jay trump with respect to how to how to handle international fears john bolton's been working on the book for months the president's long serving handpicked national security adviser was present during key moments of the trump presidency the summit with north korea and singapore the meeting with russian president vladimir putin in finland g 7 g 20 and nato gatherings around the world bolton says trump is easily flattered by authoritarian leaders who try to manipulate him and america's strategic interests are less important than winning reelection in a longer interview to iran american t.v. this weekend he says donald trump isn't fit to be president i don't think he's fit
4:10 pm
for office so i don't think he has the competence to carry out the job there really isn't any guiding principle that i was able to discern other than what's good for donald trump's reelection both in was called to give evidence from congress held impeachment hearings for donald trump he took legal steps to avoid doing that the democratic leader of the house of representatives says he's no hero telling his stories no trump is clearly ethically unfit and to lecture only unprepared to be the president of the united states that doesn't seem to matter to the republicans and the united states senate didn't seem to matter to john bolton he chose royalty over a lot over patriotism and and and so he's going to make money off of this book i guess whelan's right there live now at the white house and so the administration hitting back and we had many more reaction. well my
4:11 pm
pompei was words are pretty strong and it certainly goes along with what we're hearing from those who are still inside the administration what you can't escape though is the fight that anyone who has left the white house from donald trump they have immediately been criticized on twitter the one exception i can think of is nikki haley who was the u.n. ambassador who left with a handshake in the oval office everyone else that donald trump has fired or has left under a cloud has been derided on twitter of course when donald trump covert he said he would only employ the best people now the administration is taking john bolton to court it's expected that case to get underway in about 4 hours time they're saying that there are. a lot of classified snippets in there that should not be made available to the public john bolton is fighting that he says look it's not for
4:12 pm
governments that donald trump is what he did getting ahold of this book it's actually the american people but the reality is donald trump has a core of support and it's not going to be changed by john bolton nor is it going to be changed by the next book about donald trump was it which is expected to hit the book shelves in a few weeks it's written by his niece who is also a psychologist she is a doctor she is talking about donald trump and how his early experiences have shaped the way he runs the president say much harder for donald trump to go on the attack on twitter against her saying that she is somehow a failed and disgruntled former employee you know that will certainly draw some focus away from this particular role. today is called juneteenth in the united states and the president has caused some controversy around the day tell us why.
4:13 pm
well donald trump says there are many people who don't know what juneteenth means and internationally that might be the case in america is a fairly well known holiday juneteenth is the 19th of june 865 when a union general arrived in galveston and texas and told the people there the slaves had been freed now it's 2 years after abraham lincoln's emancipation order but of course they fought a civil war and here was the union army able to enforce the law so it celebrated by many companies to give their employees are paid holiday virginia says it's going to become a state holiday as of next year and there's a feeling that this might be the last year that this isn't a national holiday there are demonstrations planned all over the country tomorrow because of course at the feet of the black lives a matter of protest that we've seen over the last 2 weeks or so what is interesting from donald trump's point of view he did an interview with the wall street journal yesterday of course he was planning to hold
4:14 pm
a rally in tulsa oklahoma on this day and people said you can't do that because it's juneteenth he has moved it 24 hours it will no take place to morrow he says he has no made juneteenth famous enduring the interview with the wall street journal he asked a member of staff of the new what it meant and the member of staff pointed out that for the last 3 years the trumpet ministration has put out a statement on june 13th something that the president wasn't quite aware of another thing to mark is that when donald trump says not many people knew about x. or y. in this case juneteenth means that up until this point donald trump wasn't terribly aware of this but ok i don't believe it thanks very much allan fisher there in washington d.c. we're going to stay with this story of juneteenth because our duty as governor is on has been in new york and he's been gauging the public mood.
4:15 pm
performed weeks america engulfed in protest every day all over the u.s. even as the country faces the continued threat of a deadly penn demick sparked by his death they chanted his name. and it morphed into a movement calling for police reforms sometimes it was violent. but mostly it was peaceful we asked people to describe what america is now feeling what is the mood in america right now what would you say it is. i think people are tired i think people are fed up i think people want change. and i think people are willing to do whatever it takes to get there it's a lot of hurt it's a lot of pain it's people who are just felt bad for so long you concluding about this which all of these systemic racism it's heartbreaking but i think that there's also a huge tremendous sense of inspiration and hope and empowerment by the fact that
4:16 pm
everyone is coming together in this beautiful unified way on friday billions of people in america are expected to celebrate what's called june 13th and an official holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the united states this year in the wake of the nationwide protests there is a growing number of calls to make it an official federal holiday just here in new york on friday there are more than 20 different protests that are planned for june 13th as people see it as a great opportunity to take to the streets to continue to let their message be heard in a country where moods have been compassed anger to fear to hope in an exhausting yet unforgettable 4 weeks in american history gabriel's on to. the york. probably more still ahead on news hour including the u.s. investigates an alleged plot to assassinate the american peace envoy to afghanistan
4:17 pm
plus. i think that we are in the middle of the pandemic season. as corona virus infections in brazil approach 1000000 a former health minister tells al-jazeera the peak of the pandemic is still a long way off. in jersey marino will face his old club in the 1st round of premier league matches back after a coronavirus suspension peeta will have that story in school. now that nigerian military says it's killed several high ranking boko haram leaders in a series of strikes on a village in the northeast the settlement was reportedly being used as a training ground for fighters amid interest has more now from beijing. the strikes were carried out over the course of 2 days after days of surveillance according to the general military and they were sure that some of our leaders of boko haram
4:18 pm
fighters who were there at the compound when it was struck as well as several fighters were also using the surroundings training ground in the community or the villages on the fringes of the some piece of forest and what's interesting by the way this information was released by the nigerian military on the day the nigerian president met with all heads of security agencies from the army navy air force the police and the intelligence agencies where he was quoted as saying he was not happy with the way the security operations in the country were going to remember they not only the bottom fight in the northeast of the country but also the banditry attacks in the northwest of the country why in the last 2 months hundreds of people have been killed now the military said they were sure that they have gotten very value very high value target as they put it in that compound and that the information
4:19 pm
they got after the attacks were completely completed was that several of such leaders have been killed u.s. officials say they're investigating taliban claims that iceland was plotting to assassinate the american peace envoy to afghanistan somehow designed to let the u.s. team in the secured an agreement with the taliban fabric into a nearly 9000 years of conflict that has more now from islamabad. a u.s. official in the know certainly a great green race to get days because it takes all it takes against us where you don't get dramatic. and you know it should be remembered that about a week ago the barn very nice day radio to several media outlets and a stage they had to create. spoke about in that very. day us. who had been working giant leslie to achieve what they considered to be on board and what you're brigade but up to david sanger at the time the bond fund now coming
4:20 pm
out with a really nice and stationary story saying they wanted their game because they us one voice that there were elements within the. government and intelligence extra fischer's that read well maybe it is sponsored by your tried to separate. which is considered to be a mighty story to bring to us and the fight to get to find the story. right now the barn or 30 leasing pictures. were dried that old friend or foe can folks do i did you know that yes indeed they had to. confess. he was president don't trump has lashed out at the supreme court also ruled against him for the 2nd time this week the judges blocked trump's bid to end a program that stops hundreds of thousands of immigrants from being deported my kind of reports now from washington d.c. . jubilant crowds gathered outside the u.s. supreme court many here also called 3 ms the children of undocumented immigrants
4:21 pm
should up the right to residence for the foreseeable future between 7 and 800000 people. by the supreme court decision i've had to dock us since i was 16 years old and it's allowed me to go to college it's allowed me to get a full time job that could have all meant. stripped away at the corner decided differently joining the celebrations was the senate minority leader chuck schumer this is just the beginning you are going to become american citizens and great american citizens. there was a vastly different reaction from a disgruntled president who lashed out on twitter do you get the impression that the supreme court doesn't like me he was playing to these horrible and politically charged decisions coming out of the supreme court or shotgun blast in the face of
4:22 pm
people that are proud to call themselves republicans or conservatives he continued we need more justices we will lose our 2nd amendment and everything else in writing the majority decision chief justice roberts made clear he affected to administer to failures in the trump legislation not the policy itself this is similar to the trump travel ban that was rejected by the court for the same reasons but then approved when it was reintroduced in an amended form theoretically the administration's lawyers could read draft the repeal to address the court's concerns and then introduce it again the only long term guarantee of the dream has rights is immigration reform in congress we need real solutions you need real relief from congress and from all parties because that's the only way that we can. get our path to citizenship and actually can't fool acknowledgment
4:23 pm
of all our contributions to this country. this is a minimally acceptable program and congress cannot feel good about themselves that even throughout this that throughout this entire period they have failed to produce comprehensive immigration reform so we are we are still going to continue to hold them accountable but that is old in the future of the earth day at this place it's a time to celebrate no matter how marrow the court's decision mike hanna al-jazeera washington. brazil is on the verge of reaching 1000000 infections from cave 19 its former health minister louise and we came and that was followed by president jaya paulson aren't for refusing to prioritize you called me have a public health has told al-jazeera the pandemic is still far from its peak on latin american and it's a lose in human spoke to him about the soaring infections and bulls in orange threat to pull out of the. i think that we are in the middle of the pandemic season
4:24 pm
we have a country though it's a really a continent and we had some cities there are really went through the problems one is in the middle type and other ones that didn't start yet so i think that we will till september. so i wonder you will work with him so closely how much of his decisions do you think are influenced by his friend president donald trump of the united states they're very close and they're trying to to follow one too but some are followers trump. cheney was automatic writing next week that group said he started saying the same thing here i don't think that he really thinks on doing the media trump thinks i'm doing that because you know. you get up b. and i there won't have to discuss new tools for the war health organization
4:25 pm
remodeler modernizing but the countries there. if the countries are not sitting on the same table to make this discussion there was there not said there will not be able to are you so you don't think that they're going to go through with it they were not dropped has an election in the 2nd semester both sides are hesitant to go 22 so as soon as trump passes for his election no matter the result if he loses a lot of states want to do it if he wins the united states won't do it so well so now it's probably going to change his position also but right now hydroxide chloroquine is on the protocol for all brazilians who go to public hospitals with colored 19 in a country as large as brazil how concerned how much of a concern is that i think is a big concern because we don't know 1st we don't know if it works and the 2nd is that we don't know if it harms people. i think that. love said
4:26 pm
and there was no help for going to say she made a man sweep the paper the day they released the paper and one week later then they took the paper because they didn't take the right measures to publish it so now they're we're going to have to wait but as soon as you come to a paper there really shows that it has no benefit and what i'm worried is if it shows their hearts that it brings more problems than solutions to feed. people died from a stroke or heart attack i think we're going to have many many people suing the government for doing that brazil's education minister has resigned his tension grows between the president and the supreme court over an investigation into a dis information campaign and abraham one throwback is one of several boats in our allies being investigated by the court over an alleged network aimed at discrediting democratic institutions didn't say why

4:32 pm
e.u. leaders that most member states are on board with the fact that something needs to be done to help the european union recover after the coronavirus pandemic and what these leaders were gathered to talk about was this $800.00 plus $1000000000.00 recovery fund that has been proposed by the e.u. commission to try and revive the e.u. member states economies of course battered by the coronavirus pandemic one of the worst hit continents so far more than 190000 people have died in europe so the leaders are very keen to try and boost the economies to get europe working again but of course for that they need money so they proposed this package which would be formed of grants and loans money borrowed by the european commission of the financial markets but what the leaders were discussing is exactly how big this package should be should it be as big as it is being proposed or is that too much and how exactly would these grants and loans be distributed and how would they be
4:33 pm
paid back now leaders are expected to meet again in july this time not virtually but in person and many are pushing for an agreement to be made then on this recovery plan and the touch of this issue of a loan or a grant to work with the differences of opinion as to which work should go. well the main difference is a really between the member states you have some of the wealthier more fiscally conservative e.u. member states austria denmark sweden the netherlands are really at the forefront of this pushing back saying that they don't really want to end up shouldering the main debts this is a debt sharing project that's being proposed by the european commission and those wealthy member states are worried that they are going to be really financially burdened more financially weaker states like italy and spain of course countries like italy and spain have been very severely hit by the current affairs pandemic
4:34 pm
they are saying to the european union look we need more help to get back onto our feet and really that's the crux of the problem and the e.u. commission head said very clearly today if the e.u. fails to help some of the weaker member states in this time of need then the very essence of the european union really is at stake its future could be in jeopardy as well as the future of the euro zone and this is a time really to show solidarity or in touch with thanks very much indeed for that than a task but reporting there from paris the growth of our eyes pandemic is overwhelming health care systems across the globe with that strain is taking a huge toll on people suffering from other illnesses a new study predicts $10000.00 more deaths in the united states from breast and colon cancer in the next decade and that's because the response to the pandemic is kind of resources from cancer screening and treatment the world health organization has found most countries have had to partially or completely disrupt rehabilitation

4:36 pm
countries are trying to really make this as scientifically as they can and of course we know that the delays in treatment for cancer patients varies very much in what kind of cancer what kind of state and so on our general advice is that we need to try to avoid as much delays as possible and of course i think the whole situation proves that we need to include in non-communicable diseases also much more heavily into the national response and prepared us plans during pandemics but also to strengthen the health system in general crim of our survivors in the democratic republic of congo say they're being shunned because of the illness or more than 5000 confirmed cases in the d.n.c. but their affairs many more may be hiding the symptoms of the palaces ripple. coded 19 checkpoints on the streets of can show us or are enforcing protection measures
