the u.s. policing. dozens of for him to refugees finally make it ashore in indonesia after a rescue mission launched by local fishermen. thanks for joining us we begin in the united states that's where a texas has halted the phased easing of virus restrictions following a sharp rise in infections a record one day rising cases was reported right across the country on wednesday almost 37000 cases were confirmed that's the highest number since the start of the pandemic cases have been on a downward trajectory since late april but they've roared back in recent weeks after restrictions were. the resurgence is concentrated largely in the south and west more than 2300000 americans have been infected and about 122000 have died. well florida is one of the states experiencing

a significant increase in cases after easing locked on restrictions where the 100000 and factions have been reported at the state's governor is defending his reopening strategy and gallagher reports from miami. some call this a reckless reopening others a much needed reboot of the economy florida's now shouted its own record with over 5000 new code 1000 cases reported in a single day state officials say increased testing is partly responsible for the alarming surge in a state where over 3000 people have lost their lives since reopening florida's seen younger people infected increased hospital admissions and less social distancing all of which doctors say shows a dangerous trend it's truly an increase in the percent of people who are becoming infected with this virus and that serious and it will infect anybody

any age any belief system any political. viewpoint whatever the virus doesn't care about any of that it simply wants to get a one. republican governor on dissenters has issued orders on social distancing and reducing occupancy at newly opened businesses but has refused to mandate the use of masks think we just got to trust people that you know given the opportunity to do to do the good things i take it make good decisions i think that that tends to work better then to mandate this mandate that here in miami dade county officials are taking a different approach now requiring masks to be worn in public at all times they say those rules are 0 tolerance the message here then is one of enforcement and not guidance although there's no talk of a 2nd shutdown other critics accuse the governor of manipulating data to make the case for reopening florida's economy one former employer. now built her own

coronavirus website after being fired by the florida department of health she says she was no longer willing to massage the data the state says she didn't listen to his superiors i don't need to be the person who manually gone in and change data to say hey this is the most trusted resource for information in this state and it says that it's because it did. so now i do it again officials say younger people getting the virus means shorter hospital stays but in a state with a large elderly population florida is facing a potentially deadly resurgence of the corona virus and a gallacher al-jazeera miami florida let's bring in alan fresh for his joining us from just outside the white house and the u.s. president alimentation that the reason cases are going up in parts of the u.s. is because of increased testing. and he's tweeted that again just in the last couple of hours as he makes his way to wisconsin a place there is also seeing

a surge in cases many people making the analogy that if you don't test for pregnancy then the number of pregnancies will fall that's how they think that donald trump's mind works that so they're trying to say that it's a ridiculous argument to make you remember that donald trump said that he ordered his staff to start slowing down on testing because they were getting too many cases the white house then said it was a joke that wasn't the case donald trump said he never jokes and then we had from the administration just on whedon's day that they were going to essentially do away with federal testing in many areas no that has provoked a backlash particularly from the 2 senators down in texas who as you rightly point out are seeing a huge surge in the number of cases they say that perhaps the administration needs to rethink that at the moment donald trump hasn't made any comment on that but it's the sort of thing he tends to back away from when he realizes there's a backlash that might actually impact republicans and so that may well be rethought

laddie kudlow who's a senior adviser to the president particularly on the economy said just 24 hours ago there isn't going to be another shutdown but if you look at the states texas case is up california cases up arizona cases up new york the cases are down and that's why the governor there said that red states republican states had gambled with reopening the states too soon i know they were paying the price and allen now report from the government's own centers for disease control and prevention that's the c.d.c. of course and says the number of americans infected may actually be much higher what are they basing that on. well they've been saying this for a little while but the putting more flesh on the bones they're saying that they're suggesting that a number of states are reporting possible cases and that means the undercoating could be somewhere in the region of 10 times less so we're looking at about $2000000.00 cases in the united states at the moment they're saying there could be

$20000000.00 and they see $28.00 states are doing this under code 26 of them have seen a surge in cases just in the last 48 hours or so the states that they talk about california texas florida and again new york but these see this means that the virus is around in the community and we're seeing here just in washington d.c. in maryland and virginia the 2 states that are closest to the district that they're talking about easing restrictions suddenly a number of states are looking again at that situation because they don't want to look like texas or florida where they push the opening to restart the economy and then suddenly find they have to start rolling things back because of another surge in cases a 2nd wave if you will all right alan fischer reporting from outside the white house allan thank you. well speaking of a surge in cases india has seen a record number of new virus infections for

a 2nd consecutive day with almost 17000 reported in just the last 24 hours the country now has over 473000 cases and almost 15000 people have died after contracting the disease the capital new delhi is causing a major concern and our forty's will carry out a home screening over the next 2 weeks the government predicts cases in the capital could expand to more than half a 1000000 by late july europe has seen an increase in weekly virus cases for the 1st time in months the world health organization says several countries are experiencing accelerated transmission of the virus which could have dire consequences. last week europe saw him pretty weakly cases for the 1st time in months for 2 weeks i have spoken about it it's over the surgeons as could grease it just measures in civil could push across europe these risks has no become a reality france and germany have announced increased funding for the w.h.o.

afflicted the world from their perspective this bailout is the thing that will keep them from bankruptcy they needed to persuade their shareholders that this was the way forward that the government plan was the way forward the government which will be taking a 20 percent stake in the shares of the company investing almost $10000000000.00 to do that so it's no surprise therefore that the news that 98 percent of the shareholders had endorsed this plan for the government to take that stake was greeted by the man behind it the finance minister social democrat all of shots. does his per kid to the rescue package it takes a legitimate interest to text that is because that is very important to me this investment must not be to the detriment of the public service the government insists it will prevent a hostile takeover of love. and will send 2 people to the seats of the supervisory

board. that has also pledged to renew its fleet to make it more efficient and environmentally friendly. the other hurdle they still have to get past was the e.u. itself would this infringe impinge upon the state aid rules that apply across the or the institution across the continent the e.u. the european commission has said no it does not which means on the face of it this deal can go forward but other airlines have expressed real issues about some of the elements associated with this deal saying they will try to prevent it but for now at least in germany there is a sigh of relief from ministers and perhaps from love tons but they've been able to stave off the immediate threat of bankruptcy. the coronavirus pandemic continues to hit the airline industry hard so 40 major airlines including emirates and british budget flyer easyjet have temporarily grounded their entire fleets some borders have reopened recently but the number of people passing through airports has fallen

92 percent the international air transport association believes airlines this year will lose $84000000000.00 australia's largest airline is laying off thousands of staff as it tries to survive the pandemic they call the gauge has more. but now qantas is meant to be celebrating its 100th anniversary instead it's dealing with the biggest crisis in its history this truly international airline has fired 6000 staff and another 15000 workers will stay on leave for months this crisis is still. very very hard and the impact will be felt for a long time particularly i'm sorry to say the impact on our people with borders closed in flights grounded quanta says the ongoing collapsing global air travel left it no choice but to cut 20 percent of its workforce it's

a huge setback for the aviation industry $100.00 planes will be grounded for at least a year with a stroller as international borders predicted to remain closed for tourists potentially into next year to be not english this next financial year july next year we may start seeing some international services. on against a 50 percent union groups have strongly criticized the cuts quantas officials hope to save $10000000000.00 over 3 years is a lot of my dramatic restructuring in china. because it's i see alliance or edge of enough to see the opportunities that it will bring that will survive and flourish into the future the losses come after his trial his 2nd largest airline virgin was placed into what's called voluntary administration in april after it failed to repay billions in d.h. and is happening while unemployment levels are rising because of the pandemic

qantas's decision is a signal that the pain from this global health crisis won't be over any time soon nicola gage al-jazeera camera. still to come on al-jazeera sudan i ask the u.n. to help get a few kept back to the negotiating table before it presses ahead with its ground renaissance dam project russians begin voting in a referendum that promises major reforms but could it keep president putin in power until 2036 details in a moment. however still have plenty of heat across much of europe are signs of that heat wave breaking as we go through the next couple days thundery down polls i will roll through as you go through the next day or so and that will help those temperatures

a cameroon as well and those showers drift all the way across much of the west. but. 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 talk to on a jersey. hello

again the top stories on al-jazeera texas has halted the phased easing of coronavirus restrictions following a sharp rise in infections a record one day rise in cases was reported across the country on wednesday with almost 37000 cases confirmed international airlines continue to be hit hard by the pandemic germany's live tons of a signed a deal to secure a $10000000000.00 government rescue package while australia's qantas is laying off $6000.00 employees. pakistan international airlines has grounded a 3rd if it's pilots $150.00 people that is after an investigation found they cheated to get their licenses the inquiry found that off the $860.00 pilots in the country 2 $162.00 had other people set their exams for them and another $82.00 were either under qualified or forged their sorts effect it's the people who cheated

were discovered after an investigation into a plane crash in may that killed 97 people the crash was caused by human error come on haidar has more from as i'm about speech well you get good. day of the national airline week 11 the pride of the country you came many other day. of a road with a. political endeavor in some big indeed has plagued the organization i just did radiate he will drop a job for coming in for a landing in game or 10 overjoyed run ok we did were discovered the pilot had a few beers regain share the same thing happened recently in dire straits that you mentioned and so did a really big get it given preventive measures that really need to be going on in the media would be just to ensure their flight safety and all the regulation for

your and up close this in flight even though it will be it will be important to be ready the government does something or not because even in the box they've been several inquiry the no action had been taken so all eyes now on the government to see where did a really great 50 each. the un back governments in libya has launched a new offensive against warlords have tied despite egypt's president warning that he would send in his own military if the attack went through a ground advance accompanied by turkish airstrikes has been reported around the air base the airfield captured by hostages forces and 2017 is believed to host strategic russian made defense systems the u.s. house of representatives is debating a sweeping police reform bill brought by the democrats the legislation would really reduce legal protections for officers and would make it easier to prosecute police it will also bound chokeholds and change the criteria for using lethal force on

wednesday a republican bill and police reform was rejected democrats say didn't go far enough it follows nationwide protests calling for change after the death of george floyd last month. exactly one month ago george floyd spoke his final words i can't breathe and change the course of history since then here if it day americans from every walk of life and corner of the country have been marching protesting and demanding that this moment of national agony become one of national action today with the georgia floyd just just in policing act the house is honoring his life and the lives of all killed by police brutality and pledging never again have a town seize on capitol hill with this update. it is expected to pass quite shortly now we would think but then it's expected that's that's where it will end because the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell has already said it's

a nonstarter it's not going to be brought up for a debate or will vote in the senate they prefer the their own republican bill which wasn't really about mandating change but encouraging change in police forces and that was seen deemed unacceptable by both democrats and various civil rights groups so we have a stalemate in congress very unlikely unless there's an almost public opinion on the ground sort of public pressure to reintroduce some sort of measures in congress it seems very unlikely to be will move in the coming months before the election and to be almost anyway we were expecting change and reform to be occurring more to a state level of a municipal level and we're already seeing that with chokeholds being banned in california and new york and some cities now diverting money that would have gone to the police force to do other measures to social services to deescalate tree measures so we're all seeing change we're just not likely to see it on the federal level it would seem the 2nd largest ebola outbreak on record is over after nearly 2

of irrigation and water resources from the 3 countries so dan if you've been egypt to the negotiating table virtually to try to break the deadlock that has that was going on between the 3 countries but we've also seen if you and egypt sending letters to the u.n. security council for is being if egypt saying that it doesn't want to feel free to fill the dam and the 2nd front if you're saying that it is feeling unfortunate that egypt feels the need to involve the security council but it will go ahead and fill the dam in july and now these are not the 1st round of talks between the 3 sides that has led to no deal there were several rounds of talks that were held here in the sudanese capital what assume all failing to produce results and eventually moving on to. the u.s. in early january and february also not producing any results now sudan has stated that it is concerned about the safety of the ground if you can run as on stem and the impact it would have on downstream countries the 1st being so down of course
