get. i don't get let me tell you let me make it clear we have got the greatest testing program anywhere in the world we have better than anybody in the world our best the best in the world and we have the most of them by having more than we find more safe. less than an hour later on capitol hill a hearing about the white house response members of trump's coronavirus task force said there could be a viable back scene by the end of this year but they disagree with the president's view on testing knowledge i know for sure but so my knowledge none of us have ever been told to slow down on testing that just is a fact in fact we will be doing more testing dr anthony fauci and his colleagues testified the pandemic is not over after 3 months of stay at home policies and now

ongoing anti-racism protests urged people to stay vigilant and as you wear a mask and you're in a situation where you're getting animated in a demonstration or in a rally or wherever you are a void as best as possible the urge to pull your mask down and shout more than 3 months into the public health crisis and there is still a confusing message coming from the highest levels of the u.s. government rosalynn shorten al-jazeera washington. the u.s. president is now in arizona where he's been marking the construction of 200 miles of his border war with mexico he's been inspecting an area where crews have built dozens of miles of new fencing during the corona virus outbreak i was owner saw a record increase in corona virus cases on tuesday of 3 and a half 1000 it's also reported a record number of hospital admissions patients in intensive care and patients on

ventilators let's get more from rob reynolds in los angeles so the border wall was a kind of a big thing that wanted to create how much of it has actually been built so far. this is about 200 miles or 320 kilometers more or less of a new wall this is a taller wall made of these steel ball ards it replaces existing border barriers but in terms of a brand new wall covering a place where there had never been any barrier before now there's only about 3 miles worth so now this of course was a major major part of president trump's initial strategy when he campaigned for the white house in 2016 he said that these going to build the most beautiful wall and mexico is going to pay for mexico's not paying for it the president had to take

money out of the military budget to do this is about $330000000.00 per mile cost of the of this wall and then this area where he is now in the state of arizona it's mostly on public land on native american reservations and in a running along the edge of a international biosphere reserve called the organ pipe cactus national monument which has not made environmentalists very happy as you can see from the pictures there the president went to the wall stood out in a flat stretch of desert with a number of local officials and politicians somebody handed him a sharpie and he signed up plaque on the wall and that was just about it took 2 questions from reporters and mostly spoke about how great the wall is he's now about 30 minutes from now due to speak to a gathering of young people in phoenix arizona another kovac hot spot and why is

the average. such an important place politically for trump. you know laura arizona has traditionally been a very republican state it's a state where barry goldwater was from with you know we can go back that far to the 1964 election the founder of modern conservatism but demographic changes and trump's general lack of. widespread popularity outside of his base has made this into what people are calling a purple state it's neither read nor blue and in fact polls over the last couple of months have shown that former vice president joe biden the presumptive democratic nominee is running ahead slightly of president trump if trump were to lose arizona it would be a big problem for him to be reelected with those electoral votes in arizona now

biden has called trump's rally today irresponsible and reckless he said they shouldn't be having these large gatherings in the middle of coronavirus hot spots it's going to be 3000 young people there at this gathering they're meeting in a mega church and while the city of phoenix requires basks in public places they're not going to enforce that rule at the president's event lauren thank you very much indeed primary polling day in 6 u.s. states where republican and democratic moshe's choosing who will fight for a seat in congress in november as election but in one region there are concerns officials being unable to cost that ballots fewer than $200.00 polling stations are available in the southern state of kentucky where there are usually $3000.00 that especially spots in areas and mostly to black people. those are closing in kentucky john hendren is life ascend is bill so that people still turning out

behind you joe. well the polls have indeed closed so the doors have closed but if you are in line you will be allowed to vote so what you see behind me are sort of the stragglers these are the very last voters in the kentucky primary and there was concern that there would be voter suppression because 95 percent of the polling booths in the entire state were closed and this is a great example this is a county jefferson county with more than 600000 registered voters and they went from more than 200 polling places to just this one and so the concern was it wouldn't simply would not be able to hold all of them but you can see over there under the letters where people are picking up their ballots that there is plenty of room here at the end of the day when people have left work and often go to vote and then if you look over my other shoulder you can see that those voting booths there

each one with an american flag are mostly empty because people have plenty of room to continue nevertheless the county is predicting that this will be just not just county wide but state wide one of the highest turnout elections in recent memory these by the way are what you get if you're a democrat you get the green one if you're a republican you get the blue ballot. and the reason for the high turnout is because there's a lot of excitement about this election one because there are 2 candidates to take on mitch mcconnell the leader of the united states senate and one of them is an african-american who's drawn a lot of support recently the other reason is the killing of briana taylor a black woman by a police officer in her own home both of those things have drawn a lot of black voters and the concern was that here where half of the state's black population lives that long lines would prevent people from voting valid would lead

to voter suppression but apparently with mail in voting and early voting that as a. not happened here one 100000 people voted just yesterday more than 200000 people have asked for mail in ballots so that's half of registered voters here in this county alone and a half is a pretty good turnout for a primary could set records here in louisville anyway and the delay to the election because of creative arts that's given an option to turn on the dole candidate charles book at tell us about that. that's right booker a month ago when the election was postponed from may to june was a dramatic underdog the candidate everyone was thinking amy mcgrath would walk away with this she is a former marine fighter pilot and a centrist booker is very much a progressive to the left of her but the death of george floyd and the death of briana taylor has really generated a lot of enthusiasm not just among african-americans but among people who believe

that there just needs to be change that they need a more progressive candidate that's really lit in a fire under his campaign and it now in a recent poll he was actually ahead for the 1st time so this is neck and neck but the suspense is going to last for a long time that's because the last of the mail in ballots won't be counted until a week from today june 30th we're going to have to wait until then to find out the final answer john 100 thank you very much indeed. a judge in brazil has ordered president joy of also narrow to wear a face mask in public or he could be fined nearly $400.00 a day is being accused of downplaying the threat of the outbreak despite the number of known infections in brazil passing a 1000000 and deaths passing 51000 and the world health organization fears the real number could be much higher because of insufficient testing priyanka gupta reports . scindia digit value is mourning her father's death from
