arizona and in other states they're not the only ones that are having a difficulty when he and other health officials testifying also said the president had not asked them to slow down testing a despite him suggesting he had at a rally on saturday while leaving for arizona earlier trump said he had been joking when he called for less testing 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 could want to buy blood running $5000000.00. think about what the 5. look at other countries they did 1000000 people made in bringing the big guns we did 25000000 way more by double

overwhelming of hospital facilities due to the pandemic there as you can see here the president went with a group of local officials and politicians to flap a patch of desert on them mexican border the hot sun overhead they pose for some photographs and then an aide handed the president a sharpie and he signed a plaque on the wall commemorating the 200 miles or approximately 320 kilometers of wall construction since his presidency began as you can see nobody wore any masks the president took a couple of questions mostly talking about how strong and beautiful and wonderful the wall was a later on he's on his way to phoenix arizona where he will speak to a students for trump meeting at a big mega church there well 3000 people expected lauren and does as you mentioned arizona hot spot why is trump there right now. president trump wants to

get reelected and arizona is a very important state in that regard normally a very republican reliably republican state however several recent polls taken this month show that former vice president joe biden is slightly ahead of trump in arizona so this is one reason why he's paying so much attention to the to the state i think that also he would like to have a something to make up for the kind of flop of a rally that he had over the weekend in tulsa we'll have all of these young people that you can see in the picture here who are bound to be quite enthusiastic by the way in the city of phoenix requires masks in public places but the local officials there say they won't be doing any enforcement at this event of the mask rule vice president former vice president joe biden's campaign issued

number could be much higher because of insufficient testing we have got to report. cindy adage of all you know is mourning her father's death from a distance like so many families around the world the coronavirus pandemic has taken away the traditions of burial underleaf meant for this family in rio de janeiro. he's one of more than 51000 positions has died after contracting the virus down over the subway also actually the disease causes in a moment when we were completely unprepared and brazil is still unprepared to deal with a pandemic with a disease like this one and people are joking they're not respecting yours 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 of looking to markets. demonstrations for and against brazil's preston's arbel tomorrow have been

for students in chile and across latin america. saudi arabia says it intercepted ballistic missiles and drones carrying balls launched at it by yemen's hoofy rebels . and sport focused on a series in england will go ahead despite 10 play is testing positive for the coronavirus. let's go back to kentucky now one of 6 states where republican and democratic vote is a choosing who will fight for a seat in congress in november election john hendren is live for us in louisville kentucky so what's turnout tonight john. well this is the one polling place in jefferson county what happened was due to the coronavirus the entire state had normally 3700 polling places where they cut that back dramatically to about 200 and what that means is that each county just gets

one or 2 polling places in here jefferson county is one of the bigger ones it's an urban county and as you can see they seem to be managing just fine back there were those letters are that's where people pick up their ballots and at these largely empty tables here this is where people fill them out if you're a democrat you get the green one if you're a republican you get the blue one and then after filling that out you come over here to these machines and you insert it the machine reads all of the answers but what you can see is that it's really not over full and that was the concern because this is a place that one polling place for over $600000.00 registered voters and there was room concern that there would be a vote suppression that's because this is the county that has half of. these black population and this time around they've got a black candidate running for the u.s. senate seat and they've also had the recent killing of brianna taylor

a black woman killed by police in her home and that's really motivated african-americans but since this place isn't full you might think it's a low turnout election but that's not what we're hearing election officials say they think this is actually going to be a record turnout for this election and i think i understand why now that i've looked at some of the numbers of polling official gave this to me these are elections statistics now 4 years ago in the primary election 138000 people total voted in this county and this time there have been 218000 requests just for the mail in ballot so they also had early voting there were 6 days of early voting and yesterday and alone more than 100000 people voted that's more than 300000 if you count all the mail in ballots plus 100000 from yesterday that's more than half of the registered voters and for a primary election that's actually record turnout. election because of coronaviruses given to and tell us tell us more about that.

that's right there's an african-american candidate charles booker and he was really trailing the the other democrat who's running in this race and what's happened is that you had the killing of george floyd and that really energized people who are upset about the killing of briana taylor and so now charles booker looks to be in at least one poll a head of amy mcgrath who's also an attractive candidate more of a centrist she's a former marine fighter pilot and this is an important race because whoever wins that democratic primary takes on mitch mcconnell he is the republican leader of the u.s. senate and the democrats really want to take out him and they only need a few seats in order to take over the senate so this is a very key race and charles booker looked like he didn't have a chance a month ago when they postponed this election but now he looks like the race is

dead even john hendren thank you very much indeed. a 2nd german district is being put back into lockdown after a spike in cases linked to a meat processing plant only 1500 workers connected to the factory in the state of north run westphalia have tested positive for coated 19 cutest little county will join neighboring vandals for a week of restrictions restaurants and detainment vent venue's will be shot and people can only meet in public in pen as the mccain in brandon says reimposing not done restrictions has been seen as a disappointing setback. something around 2 thirds of a 1000000 people find themselves now thrust back into a coronavirus lockdown as a consequence of the number of corona virus infections that have been reported in a specific part of north rhine-westphalia the most populous state in germany in western germany this is a blow for the state and the man in charge of the state arm in lash of the key conservative ally of angela merkel who had made much of the need to ease

restrictions now he finds himself reimposing those restrictions and they are being reimposed because of the incidents of coronavirus in the meat processing trade in that specific area it's also worth making the point that some 160 kilometers away from this particular outbreak another outbreak with a smaller number of infections but again in a meat processing area this poultry farm the institute that collates sort of federal level the figures the numbers regarding the corona virus that's the robert cock institute but it says that it believes that abbot's was are particularly good place for the corona virus for to thrive in because of the refrigerated temperatures and the moisture in the air the important thing also is that the federal level ministers are still clinging to the the perception that these are isolated outbreaks and that in the main they believe the corona virus is still manageable one final thought their reproduction rate of the corona virus in germany

right now is still above 2 remember ministers and said it should never creep above one if they were managing it well. but not down in moscow has been eased further even though the infection rate remains high james swimming pools and libraries reopened in the russian capital on tuesday restaurants and shops also resume trading but people must wear face masks or skin to seeing more than a 3rd of the country's total infections with around a 1000 more still being recorded every day russia as a whole has reported more than $8000.00 deaths. england will emerge further from its 3 months down next week a 2 metre distancing rule is being relaxed around one meter and families will be able to see more of each other most noticeably pubs and restaurants will be allowed to open and move the prime minister hopes will start heating the deep economic wounds but some still fear it's too soon. we will also reopen restaurants and perhaps. relief for

pubs restaurants hotels campsites museums and cinemas much of the hospitality sector allowed to emerge from lock down and the news many have been waiting for the easing of the 2 metre 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 date if those medications 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 being written islam and thought we can now walk away and i think about how we are thought of before and this is really a place for people to kind of enjoy. for hours for raj runs a london street food market it choosing 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 autism owners they've all their money in the savings into this shark and this is where they make their bread you work you mean market so when naming money we make money if they don't make money we don't want. one of those vendors is fresh pasta maker leonardo must see now we'll end the aisle and more cost america and to the metacarpal and for buy my pastor because i have a difference especially these that that is really important because you possible sit down in one more modern easy and modern confidential interim if there is no coffee there is a really odd person greens carefully distance seating you'll be ordering your drinks and food using app technology rather than going to the bar it's not the sociable pub and restaurant scene of all 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 got to general practitioner in london she joins me now via skype thanks very much for being with us so the government has made it clear that the threat of the virus hasn't gone away but it's that the prevalence of it has gone down enough to be able to. change the restrictions would you would you agree with the other decision. no i wouldn't agree with that decision and even the government's own advisors are saying that too many restrictions are being reduced too quickly all at once including the 2 meter and distance restriction and we still have a very high level of circulating virus incidence which the number of new cases each

day is around $4300.00 and that's research by the medic medical research council and that is far too high so say the surgeons are you so that figure that you just gave is very different from the one they gave at the briefing today was a figure from sage and they said as the 7 day rolling average of the rate of infection in the june the 23rd was at 1147 compared with 5195 on the 14th of april so would it do you disagree with sages view yes that i mean that there's a published research official research by the medical research council which actually looks at the number of cases estimate the number of cases in reality because the those numbers that you just gave are positive test results but we know that many people have the infection who have never been tested and extrapolating from that based on on our knowledge of how many people have they have the analysts beyond the numbers actually who test positive the scientific estimate is that there

are between 2207300 new cases a day and immediately that which is a sort of average is 4300 that is the number of cases that scientists are having every day still believe you can i mean it isn't expositor to want to understand numbers game and but then the office for national statistics has been doing a survey which suggests that the estimated proportion of the community with 19 is it not point not 6 percent which kind of might strike one as actually quite low and perhaps a moment when one could start to lift some restrictions well the independence a committee which is made. very eminent epidemiologists and other experts have said that the actual number of cases each day should be well below a 1000 consistently well there are many days and continue to decline before one can safely say that we should be able to reduce significantly reduce the

strictures ok in addition sargeant person should i mean it's just so it we're kind of recover the various going to different committees coming up with different figures if i can just move on then to the situation for g.p.'s at the moment if you change if the rules are changed with the will apparently will be on the on the 4th what will it mean in terms of you be able to treat more patients or refer more people who've not been able to get treatment because of her or the focus on kevin 19. well jake these are having to will have to wear masks and patients will have to wear masks when they come into g.p. surgeries to to receive to to be examined and treated we're still as g.p.'s do in a lot of initial tranche over the phone or through skype or through other means so that we can actually a lot of things can be dealt with in that way without having to see somebody but because people still need to be to be seen children need to be vaccinated and the health and health promotion of care of people not something dishes has to happen

but that will have to be at the moment in our practice removing everything that can be white in the room so that everything will be done on a daily basis and major precautions will be taken but i do i do want to go back to the point i made earlier this is not just different people putting different because around it is the case that there are still too too many case cases of the virus to restrict and also to lock down and also we don't have an effective test trace and isolate system in place which is what we really do need if you want to be able to search of some identify any outbreaks quickly and you know can contain them quickly and that is the only method that's agree but all public how special is that to control an epidemic in assist in that sense of a vaccine and doesn't reserve and thank you very much indeed putting it on talk to us thank you. alan into yemen to think rebels have targeted the saudi

of the global student population has been affected by coronavirus rated school closures most of them are in sub-saharan africa the un body says half the world is out of school where skilled and were in this region even before the pandemic began in the middle east 17000000 young people are missing out on education yes co blames it on government's failure to ensure poorer students have access to academic resources during lockdowns well in central and southern asia $95000000.00 children are not getting an education overall 40 percent of the world's low and lower middle income countries have not supported disadvantaged students during the shutdown one os and tony nice is director of u.s. co's global education monitoring report is says developing countries are facing many challenges. this crisis this health crisis showed very clearly that inclusion challenges and inequalities can affect only learned and the poorest

countries didn't face themselves with an impossible time and in lower middle income countries access to the internet is really very limited in the least developed countries only 12 percent even access to radio and television and be very very complicated for those countries that are experimenting with those means in countries like the r.c. or ethiopia or kenya or even the poorest house was do not have and the reason only 7 percent of the poorest households in ethiopia have a radio therefore for hundreds of millions of students around the world. the nation of education is an impossible task for any government a pandemic is highlighting social inequalities around the world including a serious digital divide in many countries access to the internet has never been more crucial to working and keeping in touch and understand human report a lack of technology is having a serious impact on millions of students across latin america. this student has

a decent computer a quiet place to study and of course high speed internet they're indispensable especially now that schools and universities in chile have been closed for months and classes as well as assignments are all online. but for 47 percent of chileans these are luxuries well beyond their reach on the eve of a total lockdown in chile's capital we followed my little and her son dylan to an internet cafe that's been their salvation. they are here they look up information for dylan's homework. and print out the assignments they'll need to later email to the teacher. back at home they explain that even that will now be impossible because the internet cafe can't open under lockdown most of us are local i only have one mobile phone with a very limited internet plan and it's not good enough to watch classes on line the

connection always fails. to share the same phone. who has 2 other small children was attending one night to finish her studies but with no money for internet or a computer what was difficult before is now hopeless she says a seat at the wake of a lot of people i told my teacher that i'd better leave my space to someone else who has the means to keep up with the curriculum and exams online. julie has 1st world digital technology but only if you can afford it 90 percent of the students at this university rely on government loans or scholarships and now they risk losing them if they cannot keep up with their courses online law student me explains why even though her campuses closed students have decided to go on strike if you move the c. really we wanted to make the digital divide visible we're asking that the state guarantee a constitutional right which is education and today education is impossible without

access to internet. congress has in fact just passed a bill that would oblige internet companies to provide free service to all students who receive government help which are the majority while the pandemic lasts but of a lot of through no fault of their own simply because they're poor and this unveils the reality of the crisis we're living through that has a strong social impact. it's a social thought line that with the pandemic is highlighting growing demands for digital rights to be considered a human right you see in human al-jazeera sent the apple at least 4 people have died in mexico after a powerful earthquake hit its southern or hucker region basically as president says the $7.00 magnitude quake caused only minor damage to structures but led to more than $140.00 aftershocks it struck along the southern pacific coast at a depth of 26 kilometers. a private funeral service has been held for

continue to have behind badges and training policies and procedures rather than regarding the humanity of others well the u.s. has been rocked by weeks of protests against police abuse many of those demonstrations themselves included examples of heavy handed responses by offices a new report by amnesty international paints a picture of abuses in dozens of states and says reform is needed patty cohen reports. some of the videos highlighted are now familiar chaos outside of the white house protesters clear 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 go pray. little rock arkansas

protesters kneeling and then to this point are serious. in california protesters lain on the ground and pundits react all across the country and members of the media deliberately attacked us it goes on and on and has 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 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 chair gas or flash

bang through or. pepper spray be used to disperse crowds and it's very difficult to tell from some of these videos about you know what is going on with those crowds of those crowds throwing projectiles and who is to be attacking them 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 to call haim al jazeera. the family of a french delivery driver who died after being arrested is demanding that police chokeholds be banned 42 year old city make sure he was stopped during a traffic check he got into a heated exchange with police and was later heard shouting i'm suffocating before his body went limp he died 2 days later his family wants all 4 offices to be
