testing down. and even though several trump campaign workers and 2 secret service agents tested positive for covert 19 the president stuck to his call while heading to his next campaign rally on tuesday. every hour we. get. 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 test better than anybody in the world are the best of the best in the world and we have the most of them by having more tests 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 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 rosalyn jordan al-jazeera washington. president trump has visited arizona one of the states that's emerging as a covert 19 hot spot he inspected newly built sections of the wall being built

ministry which handles into korean affairs they're a little more cautious saying they're monitoring the situation closely it's thought that the military measures that north korea will now not go ahead with include things like the deployment of extra military units along the d.m.z. which they had said that they were looking at in recent days as the relations between north and south had been. deteriorating so it is generally welcome to specially as north and south seem to be getting locked further into a propaganda battle with the launching of propaganda balloons from defectors here in south korea which are always in rages the north the north threatening to launch balloons of its own with up to 12000000 leaflets scattering across south korea and suddenly it all seems to have changed very quickly and we've had a lot of the critical articles from north korea suddenly disappearing from north

korean websites also we're getting reports that a lot of the propaganda loudspeakers that are traditionally in place along the d.m.z. which had been disappearing as relations have improved in the last couple of years and in the past few days have been reappearing it seems being reinstalled getting ready maybe for more propaganda messages to be broadcast across the barbed wire we're now getting reports this wednesday that once more these loudspeakers seem to be being taken down and rob with all these recent threats from north korea and rising tensions as you mentioned there so where do we go from here then. it does seem to follow a pattern as we know with north korea that we have an increase in tensions a lot of vitriolic lot of rhetoric and threats from the north then suddenly to be dialed down once more it does seem as though for the moment at least and north korea seems to have achieved its interim objectives of putting getting

international attention of reminding the united states where the korean peninsula is possibly may push the south koreans into it has certainly unnerved south korea that may lead to maybe more humanitarian aid which south korea can give despite international sanctions also i think for the individuals involved it has been important we've had commune jiang the sister of kim jong un the north korean leader really coming to the fore increasing her stature on both the korean peninsula and also the world stage and it has allowed kim jong un in what is his 1st major statement in all of this to appear to now is the voice of reason to dial things down really doing a kind of a good cop bad cop routine and with kim jong il and very much emerging as the good cop a day before what is a very important anniversary the 70 year marking the 70th anniversary of the start

of the korean war 'd he can come forward now with this great gesture of large yes or right to bribe in the south korean capital seoul thank you the u.n. secretary general says israel should abandon all plans to annex parts of the occupied west bank speaking to the security council and done you're good at it said it would be the most serious violation of international law they are thousands of palestinians protested in jericho and more than a 1000 politicians across europe has signed a petition opposing the annexation which could begin next week. it's been very consistent with the message that annexation not only against international law but you can be a major factor to study law in egypt it will be something that can then mind what i say which is a 2 state solution in each israelis and palestinians continue to get any respect to each other than get into each other so. i hope that this voice of reason that is not only mine. we also will be hurt. by these 42 so

business with assad is associates and government what joel rubin is a former u.s. deputy assistant secretary of state and the president of the washington strategy group he says the u.s. actions in the region haven't gone unnoticed. the u.a.e. right now is really on a fine line with washington in large part because of its adventurism in the region it was the war in yemen which is deeply unpopular here in washington among democrats and republicans and president trump had to veto a bill that tried to stop american funding of u.a.e. and saudi military actions in yemen and said u.a.e. has really burned a lot of bridges certainly with the democratic party and now clearly with its gamesmanship with syria and huffed are it's turning a lot of heads so it's built off a lot of public support here in washington but at this stage it seems like it's

squandered it is well you a does need to be concerned about what's coming next not only from the trumpet ministration but even from a potential biden administration when it comes to its engagement in the region certainly on syria as a cornerstone issue a political process which has eluded 'd the united states in the international community is what's needed to end it and you know he is not part of that then they'll be on the outside as it looks like they're being lined up for being in the near term. libya's internationally recognized government is rejecting arab league calls for peace talks saying the push is coming from allies the warlord having to have to our government's forces advance on the city of sirte egypt is warning of making a military intervention would up the wide reports now from a capital tripoli. arab league ministers met via video link to demand an end to foreign military intervention in libya and they said neighboring countries have an important role to play in india in the crisis is. the

to show we shot secretly at an elephant training school in a province northeast of the thai capital bangkok the techniques and punishments such as being beaten or prodded with metal hooks while being forced to walk while their legs are bound together and designed to make them compliant all in the end to entertain too. many want to close encounter with one of thailand's national symbols or another animal 4 years ago one of the most popular wildlife attractions the tiger temple was raided and closed because of allegations the owners were trafficking big cats and animal parts soon after the park was given permission to reopen elsewhere these elephants that are among thousands captive in thailand will also be heading to parks and zoos but the coronavirus pandemic has meant the tourism industry here has ground to a halt almost 200 animal welfare organizations wrote to the thai government asking them to use the opportunity to reset the industry they've heard nothing back we
