2:05 am
the economy in argentina not in a very good state negotiations going on to try to avoid a default but he said the free of paraphrase him but he said something along the lines of a country can recover from a bad g.d.p. but it can't recover from many many deaths and he's stuck with that policy all along very tight lockdown here in one of cyrus. travel on the on the underground on the metro system is severely restricted most of the deaths here around him one osiris also measures announced on sunday in in venezuela where a total of $33.00 deaths has been announced there very few people give that much credence think the figures a much much higher but the vice president there has said that strict measures will be brought in to try to contain the virus in venezuela they have the added problem that something like 4000000 venezuelans have left the country in recent years economic and political reasons tens of thousands of them. are leaving the countries
2:06 am
they've been in because the economies have been shut down trying to get back to venezuela trying to cross the borders many of those will be infected movie going back to a country with severe economic difficulties and the health system in very dire straits so i can think we can expect a rise in figures of people infected and deaths in venezuela to go along with the rise in in cases around latin america and that's why we're giving us the latin america for bringing the service thanks very much indeed. well as we mentioned spain's a state of emergency has been lifted more than 3 months after it was imposed to stop the spread of coronavirus the country's borders are now open to almost all of it's a uni bers without the need for quarantine many hope it's not too late to salvage the lucrative summer travel season and the hayward reports. the freedom to travel once again both within spain and further afield as its borders with most of the

2:13 am
sirte and they say that they will and you know the commander earlier told me that the d.n.a. or our forces will not stop until we in his words liberate all of libya from have to control and so what we're seeing is the genie forces out of the political system here are adamant about. getting aletha have to out of the picture they say they won't negotiate with after and they're adamant about retaking or taking control of all of libyan land. still ahead on al-jazeera. serbia's president toasts his party's election success but not all parties recognize the result. of a setback for pro-democracy labor unions in open court as china moves closer to enforcing a controversial new security law. hello

a coup. libya's un recognized government as want egypt to that any move to interfere in its internal affairs would be seen as a blatant declaration of war on saturday egyptian president of the fuck else says he said his country had a legitimate right to intervene but egypt's foreign minister says his country backed a political solution to the conflict. if the o.p.'s foreign minister has accused egypt of trying to interfere and destabilize ethiopia's internal affairs over the controversial grand renaissance dam in an interview with al jazeera. and i've got to also rejected egypt's call for the dam disputes to be handled by the un security council the $4600000000.00 is under construction on the blue nile and it could affect water supplies for millions of people and if the opiah egypt and sudan the 3 countries are yet to reach an agreement on the dams operation with sudan warning
2:18 am
against escalation and calling for further negotiations they took their politicos to politico's cairo always seeks to exploit the differences within ethiopia and interfere in our internal affairs they try to open the door for anyone who opposes the ethiopian government and provide them with direct and indirect support the egyptian agenda is based on destabilizing ethiopia we have that documented they have tried everything under the sun either directly or in directly through their agents and allies we see how they act when they disagree with our neighbors they race to ignite sedition and fuel strife and divisions everyone who opposes us is the year to them would welcome an honored in cairo and they give them media there again despite all of this we never not a single day dealt with egypt the way they deal with us we treat them always with discipline and diplomatic behavior no precious government in ethiopia ever meddled
2:19 am
in egypt eternal affairs. violence at the border between sudan and ethiopia has left several people wounded they attacked their gala but so sudanese militias clash with the ethiopian army it's the 3rd outbreak of violence of the border this year and it's less than a month after the previous attack. canadian police have warned an exiled saudi dissident that his life may be in danger the guardian newspaper reports that omar abdel aziz was told he's a potential target of the saudi government it was warned to take precautions of the disease was a close associate of saudi journalist. who was killed by saudi operatives in turkey in 2018 un special rapporteur on extrajudicial killings agnes kalamata said on twitter the report isn't surprising she said that if there aren't consequences for saudi arabia the kingdom will continue to threaten and silence dissidents she also questioned why saudi arabia is being allowed to host an upcoming g.
2:20 am
20 summit now the hashmi is a director of middle east studies at the university of denver he says these incidents will continue as long as saudi arabia doesn't face consequences from the international community. it's clear that the saudi crown prince has learned nothing from the murder and as a summation of jamal and he's once again on the prowl and this i think unless he's stopped it sends a message to all of the word terry regimes around the world that they can also imprison they can also intimidate and go after dissidents wherever they may be living the saudi crown prince is acting like a schoolyard bully who will continue to act aggressively until there are consequences to his behavior and if you look back over the last roughly 2 years since the murder of jamal there have been really no serious consequences for the saudi crown prince he continues to. intimidate dissidents he continues to have very close relations not just with the trumpet ministration but with many other western
2:21 am
liberal democracies that claim to uphold human rights none of them have taken a serious position they continue to sell arms to saudi arabia they continue to have work very warm relations and this november most of those leaders of western liberal democracies that claim to uphold international law and human rights will be traveling to riyadh for the g 20 summit so i think this is part of the problem. so be as president has declared what he has described as a historic victory for his party in the parliamentary election there a sabayon progressive party of aleksandr of which it was widely expected to win an absolute majority in sunday's ballot exit polls show the center right party took more than 62 percent of the vote a number of opposition parties boycott of the polls saying it wouldn't be free or fair because of which is control over the media. which of us was over there. we won the greatest confidence from the people tonight the biggest ever in serbia
2:22 am
in times when a few believe we can do it this is also a warning from our voters to be even more responsible and much more diligent and to get the best results for our people. that are going to tell us the leader of the opposition alliance for serbia group says he does not recognize the result. of us last minute and then today serbia unequivocally said no to the regime of alexander abnormalities and madness which we have been exposed to in our previous years to boycott fulfilled its meaning it's completely exposed the regime and today everyone can see what serbia looks like. there's growing criticism of u.s. president donald trump's decision to hold a campaign rally against the advice of medical experts it's just the latest in a seemingly endless stream of controversies surrounding trump and now it's taking its toll on his popularity is how the american public is rating his performance political web site $538.00 has collated all the polls to show trump has a disapproval rating of 55.2 percent his approval rating based on the same polls
2:23 am
is 41.4 percent and that compares to the average approval rating for all u.s. presidents from 1938 to now of 53 percent according to gallup poll head to head an access survey monkey poll taken a week ago found 53 percent of adults would vote for the democrats joe biden that leaves trump needing to make up ground only 43 percent of adults said they'd vote for him. peter logie is an associate professor of media and public affairs at george washington university he says even trumps the support base is beginning to wane. people don't see clearly to shit out of the president they don't see a sense of empathy and they're peaceably seeing that his claims that the pandemic was suddenly vanish magically go away or simply so be disconnected from their day to day reality and he's not offered the words like give us clear direction he's
2:24 am
also not modeling good behavior because of the future this year is going to remind us that a lot can happen in 5 months and a vendor 3rd is just over 5 months from now so so a lot probably going to happen i think if i were advising the president i would suggest that he call more demeter that he did he reach out to bring people together to acknowledge there were a difficult time in this country that endemic with record unemployment with with social and civil strife to say you know what now as a country we've had our our political battles but we need to come together to make sure that our families are cared for to make sure that we can develop a new ministry vaccine to make sure that america can get back to work and that every american is treated fairly i think if you did that then and that would certainly help i think would help in the most of course is a miracle cure or miracle rebound to the economy neither of which are likely to happen between now and november china's controversial new security law could be enforced in hong kong within weeks china's top legislative body announced it will meet for another 3 days session next sunday but it's unclear whether the proposal
2:25 am
is on the agenda the committee has the power to enforce the law bypassing hong kong's legislature has of the law emerged on saturday revealing mainline courts will have jurisdiction over certain national security crimes. and in hong kong pro-democracy labor unions have failed to get enough support to strike against the legislation referendum needed 60000 votes in support of strike action but just under 9000 people participated and seen as a blow to the city's anti-government protest movement which lost more momentum to a ban on public gatherings over coronavirus and things out around as a lawyer and he's also author of books including city on fire the fight for hong kong is has people didn't expect china to create a new national security agency in hong kong. we knew that the law would introduce 4 new criminal offenses to hong kong those of secession subversion terrorism and
2:26 am
colluding with foreign forces but what they weren't expecting and what has been revealed in the last day or 2 was to such a deep and intrusive intervention into the very government structure and legal structure of hong kong including creating an entirely new national security agency in hong kong and new departments within the prosecutor's office and the police force here in hong kong to both investigate and prosecute national security offenses so it's a very wide and deep intervention into the very structure of the whole come government and legal system they are sensitive to their international reputation they want to be seen to be playing by the rules and upholding the rule of law and indeed one of the sections of this document released over the last couple of days specifically included references to the rule of law to the i.c.c. piaf to human rights and so on and so china do a sensitive to their international reputation remaining intact and so to that extent i think international pressure it's
2:27 am
a national attention to the issue can at least cause china to press moderate some of their worst instincts and ensure that this is done as far as possible in about ordway and consistent with the principles of the the rule of lauren and fundamental human rights. record high temperatures have been reported in a siberian town located above the arctic circle temperatures of 38 degrees celsius were felt invesco on saturday its previous high was 37.2 degrees the town in the republic has the most extreme temperature range in the world with a low of minus 68 degrees much of siberia has seen unseasonably high temperatures this year causing a number of large wildfires sunday is the northern hemisphere is longest day and shortest night of the year the summer solstice coincided with the so-called ring of fire solar eclipse it was visible along a narrow band from west africa to the arabian peninsula india and southern china
