steady. and york new jersey and connecticut have imposed quarantine perrie it's for travelers from states with the highest infection rates we worked very hard to get the truck viral transmission rate damn we don't want to see it go up because a lot of people come into this region and they could literally bring the infection with them the. infection rate formula will be 10 per 10000187 day rolling average or 10 percent of the total population positive on a 7 day rolling average so any state that has an infection rate above that would require 14 day quarantine as of today the states that are above that level are alabama arkansas zona florida north carolina south carolina washington utah texas that's as of today 4 weeks florida's governor defended his state's

reopening plans and resisted making mosques mandatory but on wednesday rhonda sent a signal of the scale of the infections what we're seeing in florida is really rapid transmission in that 18 to 34 age group and you're seeing a lot of cases come up and granted they weren't being tested at this at the at this level a couple months ago but i also think they're testing positive at a higher and higher rate. bret brolan is a former u.s. diplomat he's now president of global situation room a political communications consultancy he joins us now from washington thank you time for it how do you think this rise of coronavirus cases in the u.s. is impacting donald trump's popularity now and biden's ability to make inroads. well there's been a number of polls released in just the last week which indicate donald trump is down anywhere from 10 to 14 points behind joe biden and that is

a significant shift from what we saw only a few months ago so i think as the numbers of cases and deaths go up unfortunately we're seeing a political impact on the president's standing i think it becomes more and more difficult for him to make the case to the american people he's got this under control and he deserves another 4 years if we get a little bit more specific are there any indications about states that have shown strong support for trump that are now turning to become swing states yeah interesting only 2 of the states that you mention texas arizona have actually traditionally been republican strongholds and yet despite that deep red support in past elections donald trump seems to be having trouble holding on to his lead and also and this is very important for the international audience

republican senators in those states as well martha make sally in arizona john koran in texas are both in difficult reelection bits whatever you make of donald trump's response to the crowd a virus pandemic it has given him a lot of air time. his briefings for a while there were viewing all of the world whenever they happened do you think joe biden's message his campaigning has gotten lost here. you know it's interesting there is a moment in politics where it sometimes is preferable to let the other candidate or in this case let the president will fall on the disaster and i think that's unfortunately what's happened in the case of president trump you know he did those daily briefings for a while dominated them and i think his advisors were telling him mr president this is not helping us it's not helping us obviously with the health issue but it's not

helping your polling numbers are there. has blamed the world health organization and he's blamed china he's blamed the democrats do you think those explanations will hold sway specifically for his supporters who have in the past same to support him no matter what well that's the thing is you've seen a lot of blame shifting here and you know donald trump is glad to take credit for or any indication of success and has no responsibility for things going badly i think that only works so long and one of the interesting features of the cope with $1000.00 crisis is that it has been a constant crisis over several months and so it's more difficult for trump to keep on blaming others at the end of the day especially when we see other countries around the world reopening with low numbers and the u.s. is still quite high thanks for that really good to get your analysis brett brew in

there president of global situation room. a plan by israel to annex parts of the occupied west bank has been condemned by the united nations secretary-general as a most serious violation of international law and has appealed to israel to change its mind while the arab league is warning that if it doesn't that could be a religious war and diplomatic editor james reports from the u.n. headquarters in new york. with the clock ticking towards a july deadline for an extension the u.n. secretary general made his position to the security council extremely clear if implemented and accession constituted of serious violation of international law givers only harm the prospect of a 2 state solution and the cutting possibilities of a new will of negotiations i call on the israeli government ban it's an exception class palestinian foreign minister riad el maliki says the israel of benjamin
