al-jazeera. every. now. this is al-jazeera. hello i'm adrian for the good and this is that these are live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes this will and hopefully sooner rather than later but we need to establish the system so that we are prepared for future outbreaks the u.s. is top infectious diseases experts have to be found she tells the u.s. congress is concerned about a resurgence of corona virus infections in parts of the u.s. . 2 u.s.

states voted to decide who they want to see as the next president but in kentucky there are concerns that got everyone will get to vote. the rebels in yemen say they've launched their largest military operation across the border in saudi arabia but the saudi led coalition says that it's intercepted just one ballistic missile. at a powerful earthquake rocks southern mexico tsunami warnings were issued along coastlines throughout central america. and in sports tennis world number one of a joke of it just tested positive for corona virus 3 other top players also tested positive after taking part in a series of events organized by joke of it yourself. u.s. health officials say that they've not been asked to slow down coronavirus testing even though donald trump says that he instructed stuff to do so member. the u.s.

coronavirus task force and public health officials are testifying at a congressional hearing about the government's response to the pandemic democratic politicians have consistently criticized the white house over of how it's handled the situation the top infectious diseases expert dr anthony fauci is among those giving evidence to my knowledge none of us ever been told to slow down on testing that just is a fact in fact we will be doing more testing as you've heard from admiral gerar not only testing to specifically identify people in the identify isolating contect trace but also much more surveillance if you want to get your arms around and understand exactly what's going on in communities spread so it's the opposite we're going to be doing more testing not less but president trump when i asked if he was joking about calling for less testing so that he wasn't appraised the u.s. response i don't kid let me tell you let me make it clear we have got the greatest

testing program anywhere in the world we had better than anybody in the world are that's the best in the world and we have the most of them by having more than we find more. we did want to buy but one in 5000000. they get back one the 5000000 if you look at other countries they did 1w2w really make a big god we did 25000000 way more by double triple quadruple and the other guy. steve clemons is the host of al-jazeera is the bottom line and washington editor at large for the hill he joins us now live from washington. state of the president says that he'd have a jokes was talked to found she says that they're going to ramp up testing what's going on here. well the president yet again is on a collision course with the leading elf science officials in the united states and

he's also want to collision course with his own spokesperson who after he made that comment at the toll so rally that that he thought we should slow down testing she said he was joking he's now reversed that reversed her and yet again we see this gap as you and i discussed earlier today between the leading science officials in the united states in the present ited states who are pulling in different directions and it's a remarkable thing to watch because president trump. is fixated on the numbers i think what we heard today and riveting testimony given in the house were people committed to figuring out what is the track to get america's citizens back into a healthy place and that is not going to be by slowing down testing i want to sort of. hearing a is that the administration getting at this at this congress hearing. well he said the administration's representatives they work for donald trump they

worked in the u.s. government but they're doing what they should do in my view which is to give you know candid and honest commentary about the state of testing about what needs to happen tony foushee and others have been talking about the very disturbing rise in corona virus infections in texas in california in florida in the sun belt states which are really getting to the point some analysts believe of getting back to break out conditions again and i think it's that fear that that you know this isn't even the you know the 2nd wave of the virus coming in this is a resurgence of the current wave and it has people very very worried that the steps bringing back the u.s. economy and even trying to set in place help health guardrails to make that a safe process are not working right now state clemens as a at large of the hill and presents of 0 as bottom line many thanks indeed for the other states. thank you adrian. meanwhile u.s.

president is on his way to arizona ellen fisher is live for us now at the white house in washington god what's the president going to be doing there. i was just looking to see whether or not the president has landed he should be getting there about now the president is essentially going to be campaigning he's going down to check the border wall you remember he made a big deal about it saying he was going to build a big beautiful wall from course to course well they've managed to reach 320 kilometers 200 miles so the president is going to celebrate that down in yuma arizona he's also going to hold our own table talking about border security where he will be told that there are fewer people coming across the border particularly from the peak during the airlie days of the trump presidency he is then going to hold an event for students for trump that is going to take place in phoenix in arizona and a mega church in the city there that's going to be interesting to watch because the

organizers of the event said that they will wear masks the mirror of the city has said she would like them to wear masks shoes also said that elected officials should be showing an example and they should be wearing masks too that's obviously him to donald trump who to this point hasn't worn a mask in public although he did wear one during a tour of a factory a few weeks back so it will be interesting to see what he's doing there why is out as soon as so important to donald trump when it comes to campaigning well it is what regarded as a swing state 11 electoral college votes he won there by 48 percent the last time he has been there 3 times since the beginning of the year but the warning thing for the trump campaign is that 4 of the last 5 polls have given joe biden a lead over donald trump and one of them a fairly significantly no donald trump needs. but his path to the white house or

there was a tight presidential election he wants to make sure that he. she has been seen in arizona and is campaigning in arizona you remember a lot of the criticism of hillary clinton the last time around wasn't that she had a terrible campaign it was that she didn't campaign in states that could swing particularly those type ones like wisconsin and also michigan she didn't spend a great deal of time there donald trump did they believe the campaign will do the similar sort of thing this time around so i was doing up very much on the list of states that donald trump will visit again and again and again after the disappointment of the tulsa rally which kind of flat he's been urged to to restart his reelection campaign if you like is he going to have more luck do you think in arizona this tie was it is it is it better managed this this speech is getting late . it's much smaller and you remember that

before we were told that 1000000 people had applied for tickets that there was going to be a huge crowd there don't trump before he left here on saturday said the crowds were massive they'd never seen anything like them and he turned up in the fire master tells us that in the 19 100000 capacity hall there was just over 6200 people attending it could well be that donald trump's ability to convince people that everything is safe that the current virus is going away simply didn't want where there's on supporters that they were to can sound about being in a space that was confined where they would be close to others where there is the possibility of contracting the virus the trump campaign said it was because there were protesters there there weren't that many and even if there where people could still get in and so the truck campaign is really casting around and looking for the magic formula is certainly believes that hit on it 4 years ago it's not quite sure that the same source is going to walk this time around air force one on the ground

in lafayette arizona as we speak our many thanks indeed i was there as i would for sure there live at the white house. 1st thing in the primary elections is on the way in the u.s. states of new york and can talk but there are concerns in kentucky about voters not being able to cost their ballots officials close tolerance of votes and stations here's the code 19 pandemic fewer than 200 of them are available and they're especially spots in areas where black votes is live in new york meanwhile social distancing measures are in place as people vote like kentucky new york has made it easier for voters to cost by mail this year the high number of mail in votes is expected to delay the results from both states so several days ahead is at a polling station in louisville kentucky. critics are concerned that the kentucky primary is a recipe for disaster specifically voter suppression and the reason for that is

that the state due to the coronavirus has reduced the number of polling places that normally has 3700 now the entire state has only 200 that means in a county like this jefferson county a largely urban place home of louisville there's only one polling place here at the kentucky exposition center when you come here you go down to one of those letters representing your last name you pick up your ballot and then you come fill it out here at one of these many buddhas and in the end you submit it to a machine over here which reads your ballot in right now you can see that there's plenty of space here but the concern was that with 600000 registered voters this place might be overwhelmed so the state increased mail in early voting so that 200000 people asked for a ballot ahead of time but for anyone else they have to come here in the concern was that people would be dissuaded by reports of crowding and that some people

simply wouldn't vote that's important because african-american voters are expected to come out in large numbers half of the state's african-americans live right here in jefferson county and they've got reason. you go out and vote there is a senate candidate named booker running for the democratic nomination to the senate and if he wins he will run against mitch mcconnell the u.s. senate majority leader a republican there's also been the death of briana taylor and a black woman who was shot by police in her own home and that has sent people out in the streets protesting for weeks now so black voters are expected to come out in high numbers and the concern is that they might not end up voting and that could determine the outcome of this election this is the new sound from our sara still to come on the program why libya's internationally recognized government is rejecting calls for peace to. have a new report details scores of human rights violations committed by u.s.

police in just 10 days and later in sport pakistan its sister series of a good will go ahead despite 10 players tested positive for the coronavirus. given the rebels say that they've launched their biggest military operation against saudi arabia britain's foreign secretary has condemned the missile attack on riyadh calling for an end to hostilities and to allow humanitarian efforts to resume and yet 8 drones and 3 ballistic missiles have been fired towards the kingdom since monday but the hutus say they plan to launch even more for its part the saudi coalition fighting in yemen says that it's intercepted a ballistic missile that was heading towards riyadh the spokesman claimed that they attacked the defense ministry and a military base in the capital among other targets. in response to the

continued and just blockade and brutal aggression on the great people of yemen and our great country the yemeni armed forces launched the biggest attack on the capital of our saudi enemy. using drones and a massive number of ballistic missiles we stress once more that more fierce attacks and military operations on the enemy will be launched so the blockade is lifted and till our freedom and independence are gained. 100 is in yemen's capital sanaa and says the want to send a clear message to saudi arabia this kind of build up of collation for by both sides has started with the latest oppression that we hope is described as the 4th deterrence operation that was launched monday night on saudi arabia the health is claimed that they have launched 3 ballistic inside saudi arabia claimed that it has intercepted one of these 3 missiles so far also they have launched

$38.00 drums operations on different military positions and jayson and iran they claim and they believe that they have targeted the saudi defense ministry their intelligence center and also the. air base so far they have the houthi according to the tweet that has been circulated by the whole head of the diplomatic or political negotiating team he said that the hope he hopes that the saudi arabia would react positively to their masses even though this is haven't had their targets but our ship is a consultant to the yemeni embassy in london he says the attack is a sign that the who it is confidence is growing. changes the. office and and or on this by he doesn't look like they need to physical but if it was if they feel that it. will. be of the transitional

council or the transitional council is bound by the u.a.e. but also doesn't enjoy it also that much of the focus because of because of many many many reasons but the long the human rights violations committed on on the front there was the the international community may say that they want they use the national act you know but they don't have the means to act the means to do it had to do it in order. for the beauty they're trying to do you have into the latest conflict as much as possible and eventually the question will be are libya's internationally recognized government says that it rejects arab league coals for peace talks so long as the initiative comes from war $25.00 to us allies egypt's president called on the government of national accord to stop its offensive

against east of the capital threatening it with military intervention awards troops upand retreating and losing ground since the government of national accord launched a turkish back to fence if in may france's president is accusing tookie of playing a dangerous game in libya that can no longer be tolerated it's just irresponsible doc to want to head up the what i'm sorry has more from libya's capital tripoli. the tripoli base to government is accusing the egyptian regime which has called for this summit of attacking libya's sovereignty of declaring war war on libya and violating the sovereignty of libya by declaring war and by threatening to intervene militarily in case the government forces move on the strategic course to the city of sirte and now we have just been told that libya libya's internationally recognized government it is planning to darwin size

its diplomatic representation in the arab league on account of what it calls the double standard policy the league is adopting specially in regard to the libyan crisis now the government in tripoli is also accusing the egyptian regime of for mentoring in fact fueling the conflict by being biased in dealing with the libyan crisis by backing and supporting the warlords really for have that for several years now and their foreign ministry at their tripoli base the government is also accusing the arab league of violating its own it did the league's own internal panel by holding this summit without consent of the deliberate government and there's a libya analyst he says that is this isn't the 1st time that egypt has threatened

libya's peace process. it's a real weaponization of the peace process given only that 2 weeks ago it was the last of it off with a peace deal in cairo but the murder of the police officers forces who treats and this is really a policy of preservation. a cartel or there were various states in the arab league and it's perhaps one of the most bizarre diplomatic incidents in recent history with libya and there is a lot this goes on on what we in the very least and because of this one has the character of a country that is frankly an insurgent. tells a software government that is a red like a replay of an territory it's quite a bizarre move on the whole lot. so it's a bizarre one but i would say that the arab league and egypt because of the authoritarian project and in cahoots the political weapon on its belly these forces

going forward this is the president online only moments ago as it was attempted in january 20th in berlin 8 days before that there was no sense in moscow and it's the words of the pocketbook have now become infamous in moscow which was he refused a deal and so i me more time than time has come and this and that really going to backfired on him and his backers and i think that's where the real issue is today 6 months later they're going from the offensive to the troops and then it's really a policy of preservation. the former the family of a former saudi intelligence official saad breeze says that it's under pressure to force his return from canada that's according to the reuters news agency saudi crown prince mohammed bin salman reportedly wants sensitive documents in jumpers possession that he can use against his rivals the files also include details of the financial dealings of syria royal family members that could compromise king solomon on the crown prince was

a long time aide of prince mohammed bin nayef who mohamed bin solomon replaced as the throne in 2017 the documents with jeffrey also include information about benign overseas assets professor. is director of gulf studies center at the council university he joins us now live via skype from doha good to have you with us once again who is saad. and why does the harm had been solved on want him back so very badly. well southern germany was that i timed the prince a moment but now you know when you know about. the last more than 20 years because basically he was the person who was coordinating the war in terror with the americans that he was the person basically who was. coordinating the effort to tackle the terrorist organizations that have been put on silang through the gamut

so no one knew about him suddenly he became important after basically kingson man came to power and prince mohammed bin nayef was basically forced to leave his business and suddenly he was abroad at that time and you basically he was advised to stay abroad since that time there was nothing in the media about him however in recent months the story. came back strongly to the. so the politics after authorities and they are basically forced his son as and his daughter. to stay and do not allow them to try but ok so it's obvious that he was or what documents could he have in his possession then and why does the crown prince need the documents so badly. you know that there are 2 things about the nature of the job that he was doing well and he was connected with

a number of americans there was that reports or at least about a communication took place in recent months maybe and toward the end of 200-1000 with the americans and we knew you know at that stage there was the relations between 5 percent of them and americans was not in a good shape basically he's maybe good with the white house but the apartment of the state for example he's not really gotten anything with them is being reported as being you know said that he wasn't touch with some americans. maybe the department of state maybe other agents agencies and that was 95 percent but that's what number 2 it's obvious that he is also knows about the financial situation mohammed bin nayef and he knows about the network we haven't been i think those 2 pieces of information i'm of the sound and sound man want them. as soon as

possible so if he's talking about the sort of valuable why isn't he why aren't they already in the possession of western intelligence agencies saying that he has such a apparently close relationship with them from what you're saying. it does appear that he was not and shaved off the chains that mohammed bin said man forced and so the politics basically and he was basically in favor of keeping mohamed benighted and that's that's the reason you know he was in favor of hearts and so it but he's not until you got him had been sent by i think my hope is that man wanted everyone with then so you had to be in favor of him and supporting him and he was a sickly he's not. ready to accept any kind of. a position or opponents to act against them and this we saw this the act against his family so it's not strange to act about someone who's working with his family someone like working

with mohammed bin nayef you know that is you know the middle of out of the segment and it has been said recently that there is an effort to actually decrypted the court and accuse him of the corruption while he was the product and so there is something going on within the house of saud about the nature of where this that way they can don't want to go especially as mohammed to send men has an effort to be to become the king by end of 2020 always good to talk to professor many thanks indeed much of somebody with it in doha thank you were there a tsunami warning has been issued for the coasts of central america following a major earthquake in southern mexico the epicenter of the magnitude 7.4 trouble was near the resort of quartal co buildings also shook far to the north in mexico city out to serious john holeman is there in the mexican capital john what it feel like. yes it's in the

moment that the earthquake went off the building did shake quite a bit that we were in now our camera memory card or lopez you might see some of these images as he worked his way down the stairs and outside where most people would gather it mexico city in particular still pretty traumatized i would say after a 2017 quake in which more than 40 buildings went down and more than 300 people lost their lives so interesting that today's earthquake was actually a fair bit stronger than that one but it was so close to the capital and so there was only minor damage reported one person lost their life according to the governor of the state of what and the earthquake was just off the coast of the state because so a fairly minor impact here and i think a lot of people sort of feeling that the country got away with it this time around no big damage reported here all right joe many thanks did i was there was john holmes live there in mexico city. we'll get

a weather update thanks to all that is out then falling victim to the coronavirus pandemic we look at students around the world who've lost all access to an education. alone. hibernation is beginning to come to an end prime minister boris johnson eases lock down restrictions in england restaurants are to reopen next month's out in sports a huge show of support for the african-american nascar driver who was the target of a racist. and the conditions remain homeless and dry throughout much of the middle of the winds have been pretty strong and they're going to stay strong over the next couple of days you can see here on the map we've got these big green arrows coming from

that also coming through the interior so hot and dry picking up the deaths in the sun 46 in baghdad as it warmer across into kuwait not about further to the south 40 celsius in doha some of the basle weather through the eastern end of the med. keeping temperatures really in the mid twenty's celsius meanwhile few washouts into northern areas of turkey 27 is the high in ankara and we should see those dying out on thursday elsewhere the winds continuing to say they already quite strong with time which is not cheap and further to the south in fact 38 is the high expected high anyway in doha down into southern africa the usual across central regions out west across the gulf of guinea but all the while wednesday some very heavy showers in particular through coastal as the tanzania and ready training right there back into more central areas amazing bacon quite a cloudy picture for the next couple of days it has been clear across much of the south africa it'll stay fine and dry as well as we head off into thursday when is the getting to increase into cape town time which is in the high teens but

a very. warm day so important is about again on thursday the high of 27. kenyan journalists in pursuit of press freedom and justice because i think it's great situations where someone speak about it hope you can afford to think you that's investigating government corruption and the national health care system come with a transaction testing nigel de cologne and believe in the money that is unexplained to africa uncensored and publish those things up people don't want to publish even if it doesn't mean that the us care is truth is it anyway on al-jazeera. if you are in beijing looking out the pacific ocean you'd see american warships when mess was that somehow time is aiming to replace america and around the world all the chinese are not that stupid these guys want to dominate

a huge chunk of the planet this sounds like a preparation for our 1st president george washington said if you want peace prepare for war the coming war on china part one on a jazzy. hello again everyone for the going to hear with the news from al-jazeera the headlines the u.s. is top infectious diseases expert about to be found she has testified before congress he says that he's concerned about a resurgence in corona virus infections boss is optimistic that a vaccine will be if. you haven't switched the rebels say they've launched their biggest military operation against saudi arabia britain's foreign secretary has can

do. the missile attack calling for an end to hostilities other tsunami warning has been issued for the coast of central america following a major earthquake in southern mexico the epicenter of the magnitude 7.4 trauma was near the resort of. a funeral service is being held for a shot brooks a black man shot in the back twice by us police officers earlier this month the 27 year old's death rig night had protests triggered by the killing of george floyd who died in police custody in may before the officer who shot brooks has been charged with murder. amnesty international says that recent cases of police brutality are systemic and widespread across the united states the rights organization has released evidence of the police response to the black lives massive protests the group is calling for urgent reform as a serious political hay and reports. some of the videos highlighted are now

familiar chaos outside of the white house protesters cleared to make way for a presidential photo of police in minneapolis patrolling the neighborhood and firing projectiles of people sitting on their own front porches. but as protests spread across the country many videos highlighted by amnesty international didn't go viral in indianapolis a woman in a wheelchair and small children tear gassed by police well praying little rock arkansas protesters kneeling and then to this point are seated. in california protesters lain on the ground and pundits react all across the country and members of the media deliberately attacked. it goes on and on and it happened all over the country according to amnesty international over 11 days in 40 states and the district of columbia they say these are $125.00 examples of verified

police abuse overall takeaway is that it's not a few bad apples and it's not a few bad departments and it's not a big city problem or it's not an east coast west coast problem it's that we found these incidents everywhere al-jazeera reached out to several police organizations for comment but didn't get a response but the police do have strong defenders in the u.s. most of the incidents that i have heard about. you know are are cheered at or flash bang through or. pepper spray be used to disperse crowds and it's very difficult to tell when someone. videos about what is going on with those crowds. throwing projectiles act amnesty international hopes this site and all of these videos will lead to serious police reform and while that is happening in some places the federal government seems unlikely to be able to agree on how to keep these scenes from playing out again and again political gain

al-jazeera. a 2nd district in northern germany has been locked down again due to a corona virus outbreak restrictions were imposed in north rhine-westphalia 1500 workers at a meat processing plant tested positive it's the 1st job in state to restore emergency measures since they began to ease a pull out a serious thought it cane is live for us in berlin is this 2nd district looking down also related to the outbreak of the meat processing plant. something in the order of 2 thirds of a 1000000 people in the state of north rhine-westphalia now find themselves once more thrust into lockdown because of the incidences of the corona virus that have been reported in the meat production and the slaughter trade in that particular area of north rhine-westphalia in neighboring areas they call them land in german

neighboring districts where the meat production facility has been the center of the coronavirus the interesting thing to say is that the state concerned is governed by a key ally of angle americal who has made much play of trying to ease restrictions as far as possible as quickly as possible and yet now finds himself having to authorize the lockdowns again it's also worth making the point it's not just in that particular area that coronaviruses being discovered in production facilities certainly it's the case that perhaps 160 miles away from that. particular incidence we have also a poultry farm where incidences of can coronavirus are being reported one interesting line that goes with that is that the rabbit cock institute here in berlin which collects the numbers and the figures and and can and it's the or 40 as it were regarding the reproduction rate of the virus says that abbott's was particularly effective places for the corona virus to thrive given the

refrigeration that goes on there and the moisture in the air separately to vote it's worth also making the point it's not just in western germany that these isolated outbreaks are taking place here in berlin in the district of prey that they signed not very far from where i'm speaking right now well there are reports of dozens of people testing positive for the corona virus in one specific place the important thing to stress here is that at a federal level the still very much from the from ministries is that they believe these are isolated outbreaks but it does work it is worth bearing in mind that the reproduction rate which the government said should not creep above one but it's been about to now for some considerable time around a serious topic a life for us and many thanks indeed. in brazil a judge has ordered president dry of balls and arrows to wear a mask in public or face penalties the president has been accused of downplaying the threat of the outbreak despite the number of known infections there supporting

a 1000000 and a half is could be much higher because of insufficient testing. gupta reports. scindia digit value is mourning how far distant from a distance like so many families around the world the coronavirus pandemic has taken away the traditions of burial i'm doing you mentioned this family in rio de janiero. he's one of more than 51000 positions has died after contracting the virus. actually the disease causes a moment when we were completely unprepared and brazil. it's still unprepared to deal with a pandemic with a disease like this one and people are joking they're not respecting it but as you can see it's a fact it's true my father died from us after months of lockdown brazil is reopening its economy sunbathers aroud shoppers are flocking to markets.

months preston jabal tomorrow has repeatedly played down the threat of the virus calling it a little slow a judge has not ordered the president to wear a mask in public or face find this long seemingly endless list are victims of the virus be remembered when on line memorial the message at the end of this collective wall of grief 2 simple lines in portuguese nobody likes to be a number we deserve to exist in prose. on syria. 3 months of lockdown is effectively coming to an end on july 4th in england and the relaxing of the 2 means a social distancing rule is a lifeline for many pubs and restaurants who are desperate to revive the venues some say though the move is too soon for the prime minister is confident that it's time to start to heal the deep economic wound that's brewed a historic recession al-jazeera to hold ports. we will also.

risk rules and perhaps. relief for pubs restaurants hotels campsites museums and cinemas much of the hospitality sector allowed to emerge from lockdown and the news many have been waiting for the easing of the 2 meter social distancing rule while the experts cannot give a precise assessment of how much the risk is reduced they judge these mitigations would make one meter plus brutally equivalent to the risk to 2 years if those litigations are fully implemented so this is good news for your business for us this is great news for us was a lifeline in terms of the source of the thing which is looming thought we can now go away and i think climate how we react to our thinking and this is really a place for people to kind of enjoy ferocious barrage runs

a london street food market it ching to reopen in a sector that just weeks ago warned the prime minister that millions of jobs were at risk because a lot of these businesses a small artisanal on as they were all their money and this savings into this for shock and this is where they make their bread you work you mean market so when they make money we make money if they don't make money we don't make money with one of those vendors is fresh pasta maker leonardo massey now we'll. and more cost america and to them that cattle and for buy my pastor because they have a defense especially these and that is really important because you possible sit down in one there is one more easy and moderate confidential interim if there is a knock off. is really at her specs screens carefully distance seating you'll be ordering your drinks and food using app technology rather than going to the bar

it's not they are. sociable pub and restaurant scene of old but to many people and indeed to the businesses involved it's vastly better than nothing there are some concerns that it's all happening too fast that the message in these new measures is that lockdown is over even though the virus hasn't gone away but the government has been quite open about it this is a political decision weighing the interests of the economy against the risk to public health jonah how al-jazeera london. the un is highlighting the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on education the agency that focuses on poverty alleviation through education and other means says that 40 percent of low income nations haven't supported disadvantaged students over 90 percent of the global student population is affected by coronavirus related school closures most of them are in sub-saharan africa the un body says that half of the world's out of school children were in this region even before the pandemic began in the middle east 17000000

oh. oh. hello again type of sport here's andy thank you so much as you know tennis world number one of a joke which has tested positive for corona virus it follows a controversial series of exhibition events have been organizing in the balkans joke of it the falls player who competed in the adjured saw events to test positive that solomons took place in serbia and croatia croatia how these lockdown measures for the most recent event many players didn't have to observe social distancing rules the main men's and women's tours have been suspended since march al-jazeera correspondent milan boscovich has the latest for us from djokovic she's home country of serbia in a brief statement djokovic tried to defend his idea of organizing committee

tournaments by saying everything we did in past month we did with a pure heart and sincere intentions our tournaments are meant to unite ensure a message of solidarity and compassion throughout the region we organize the term and at the moment when the virus has a big and believing that the conditions for hosting deter had been met unfortunately the virus is still present. in his statement explain that he will be in carrington for next 2 weeks that he will be tested in 5 days but djokovic is the president of a union of tennis professional players many have been already against the decision to organize these tournaments where the crowd being present and really here in belgrade there was a 0 social distance at the stands and implications might be major not only within the tennis circles but in serbia as well and in the creation. now earlier on we spoke to jon wertheim of sports illustrated he says joke of it she's behavior

has damaged his reputation and undermine efforts to resume the tennis season miss was an unsanctioned event so he was sort of free to do whatever he wished if that's a bit a regular a.t.p. or a major event there would have obviously been much stricter controls but this is a sport that hasn't had any action since early march players haven't been paid since early march everybody is eager to get back in to have a number one player in the world who also has this political position on the a.t.p. tour have to have him basically jeopardize the reopening this has not gone over well i had a player reach out to be yesterday you suggested there was already so talk about trying to get your committee removed from this player council but again the number one player in the world is atop the rankings but there also is some political capital to leadership that comes with that and that has really been squandered this has been a a rough few days for tennis and a rough few days for novak djokovic in the u.s. open really had to jump through hoops to get back on the calendar to get government approval they made

a lot of concessions and to have the number one player test positive because of his own doing and i think something needs to be stresses this was this was really avoidable we thought athletes in all sports testing positive but i can't think of a case like this where it was really an act of self harm so this was sent tennis back and i think tennis tournament directors that really had scrambled to try and resume their spot on the calendar even if that meant making concessions they don't have another set of challenges to work with which is the number of players who are now testing positive for coke it now 10 pakistan cricket is including stall ball a shot of khan has tested positive for corona virus ahead of the series to take place in england the pakistan cricket board the insistence that saw remains on track and the players who tested negative will still depart as scheduled on sunday i stand a chance to face england in straight test matches and 3 t 20 internationals the game style sink in august. so the plan was always to get to england around about the 2728th the 29th of june and england provides by
