12:01 am
a powerful drug gang. how lebannon starved economy is leaving shelves bare and fridges empty. and only wanting to dispose 16 people test positive for corona virus on the celebrations continue to run their 1st league title in 2 years we'll hear from the. void he told the team. we begin the news hour in the united states that's where vice president mike pence has led the 1st coronavirus task force briefing in almost 2 months as america recorded an all time high of new virus infections around 40000 new cases were confirmed across the u.s. on thursday but mike pence echoed president donald trump's message that the number
12:02 am
of cases had been increasing because of accelerated testing he says 16 states are seeing a resurgence in cases across the south and southwest. in much of the country where we're seeing jobs expanding and economic activity expanding but our focus today is very much on on the advent of a rising series of new cases across the american south. and. but where our 1st mission was to save lives once we came out of the $45.00 days to slow the spread of what our task force has been focused on over the course of the past 2 months is to partner with states to save lives and safely reopen let's bring in rob run all of his joining us from los angeles so as we're saying it's the 1st task force briefing and months rob what was the major take away.
12:03 am
well as you heard there vice president mike pence said that the there is concern about the rising number of cases in the south and in the west when he referred in that quote that we heard just a moment ago about partnering with the states that's a little misleading because the federal government the white house the trump administration has really left almost everything up to the individual states other than issuing some guidelines which the president has ignored repeatedly in holding rallies so there was a divide between the political aspect with the vice president pence at want that one point saying that the. the curve has been flattened and that the administration is doing a great job versus anthony found a familiar figure that from the national institutes of health who has been sort of sidelined for the past several weeks issuing a plea saying. people should wear masks do their social distancing and said
12:04 am
if you get infected you will then if in fact somebody else and eventually that chain of infection will reach extremely vulnerable people we are entering into a weekend where so often it's a case of people let their guard down do not be one of those individuals continue to practice physical distancing social distancing if you are going to break with tradition common sense and you're going to invite your neighbors or friends or extended family members over against the advice and counsel of local health directives where a mask practice physical distancing. now that was governor gavin newsom of california and here in california things are not going particularly well there has been an increase of 32 percent in hospitalizations
12:05 am
over the past 14 days with just 4 just today in the past 4024 hours excuse me 4890 new positive cases and 79 deaths it's a similar situation in arizona where there are worth 3400 new covert cases on friday the alarming thing in arizona is that hospital space is running out 86 percent of all hospital beds and 88 percent of intensive care units are now full in the state of arizona looking beyond that to texas the state there is talking back on its reopening the governor greg abbott said that establishment like barber shops hair salons beauty parlors in restaurant
12:06 am
dining and. things of that nature as well as public pools and. river rafting into being which is very popular in texas will be suspended forbidden and that bars will have to close at noon which is certain to make very many texans unhappy but abbott said that it is clear that activities like congregating in bars is driving the rise in cases so again we're seeing this steady rise in cases across states like california arizona texas and others 16 states all together showing increased. increases in positive cases all right so that is all part of the doctor doctors say of the 1st wave of coronavirus . all right rob appreciate it thank you for that update from california and now we can cross over to arizona i will speak to dr purnima my divine and she is an
12:07 am
infectious disease epidemiologist at the university of arizona she's joining us from tucson thanks for your time so the news coming out of arizona doesn't sound pretty good with arizona reporting a record single day increase this week and now the states is prompted this is prompted a pause in the reopening of the states is that the solution here 1st of all thank you for having me prayer in terms of putting up cause it's going to be very interesting to see what politicians are going to do from what we had heard from the past that was not not even on the table in terms of discussions just yesterday in the news conference what our governor did was he at least said come on everybody needs to their mouths so i would be curious to see if they would even consider it and having said that we can't generalize arizona as one single unit be have these hot spots hyper concentrated epidemics one of the pleasance is phoenix and also
12:08 am
phoenix has 62 percent of the population from arizona living there so if you had to ask me should we be thinking about it yes absolutely for phoenix but i don't know if i would say the same for other you know other communities and there isn't a right or if you look at phoenix for civically since you're saying that it's an epicenter what needs to be done right now to control the number of cases that seem to be going up. well then lots of things happening in phoenix right now just a few days ago we had a super spreader event we had the president come and have had one of those meetings and close setting with no masks and also show distance saying so we are having these hypers spreading super spreading humans right there in phoenix we have high temperatures so people are going to stay inside triple digit temperatures we have forest fires that are leading to people having to kind of more out of their homes and find other places to stay so there are all of these dynamic things that are
12:09 am
happening in phoenix and we have a young population getting out we don't have a methodical and though opening of the state so all of these things are adding up and we are not really surprised with the numbers going up but the question is how much further is this going to go right so that is the trumpet ministration says that the numbers are increasing because of increased testing or and your opinion is the virus making a comeback in not only arizona where you are but in the other states that we've been reporting on 16 states so far as an epidemiologist i would not agree even that for the simple reason we had a testing blitz that ended may 17th our weekly case comes have increased faster than the testing 284 percent increase in the case counts as compared to 67 percent increase in the testing which means that differential that you are seeing is attributed to community transmission we are seeing a lot more
12:10 am
a symptomatic it's being out in the community they're shutting the white is the transmission is happening within the communities and absolutely not i would not agree that it was testing if it was testing our positivity rate as a 20 percent rate now and that should have cordoned off it should have flattened out. but that kind of differential of 20 percent and the rates continue to go up that means we're not testing enough people so we are prepared to go to behind in terms of our testing we're not doing adequate amount of testing be an artist doing the right people so all of these things are going to come into. our rights i will leave it there that's our program thank you for speaking to us from arizona thank you india's government has opened what it says will be the world's largest coronavirus treatment center it comes as the country recorded its largest spike in daily infections for the 3rd day in a row on friday the country has more than 500000 cases and more than 15000 deaths

12:27 am
under doesn't really make anything so everything you buy is imported so you using dollars to buy imported goods dollars that are now no longer existing in the market so it's a really devastating thing there's a feeling of anxiety. that the currency is like a stock market that's just swinging and off and every day you know at different times of day the currency changes values so you see your salary that was you know $200.00 yesterday might be $100.00 today tomorrow could be $50.00 people start to wonder if we're going to work for free at some point there's desperation people are selling off their items online they're selling clothes they're selling dishes to get money the government is apparently selling off some of the helicopters that are used to fight fires in lebanon so we don't know what's going to happen when the fire season starts will there be you know helicopters with the with the blazes just . you know. in gulf the country so it's

17000 so. mexico city security chief has been injured in an assassination attempt to have his bodyguards were killed in the attack in the city center which has been blamed on a powerful drug cartel. iraq a security forces have raided a base belonging to an iranian backed militia group 10 rockets were seized that at least 14 members of the hezbollah were detained including commanders are members of the group are demanding their release some of holton is in baghdad she says the city's green zone was the likely targets. well we have now a statement an official statement from the government specifically from the iraqi joint operations command summarizing what happened last night when iraqi security forces raided a base belonging to. a statement confirms that 14 individuals where arrested during the raid and several rockets were seized in an effort to preempt an
12:33 am
impending attack on the fortified green zone where u.s. forces as well as other diplomatic missions are based now and we have seen several such drop the rocket attacks take place throughout the month and this raid appears to have been an attempt to try to clamp down on the groups responsible now the statement did also mention that there was an arrest warrant that was issued against those 14 individuals and that is particularly important because in the wake of that raid we saw dozens of armed men presumably belonging to type as. entered the green zone and lease each to a building that belongs to the counterterrorism forces demanding the release of the detainees claiming that the arrest was lawful now there is also a lot of confusion about who exactly holds those 14 detainees the popular mobilization forces which includes the type as below that there were released
12:34 am
several other sources close to have also confirmed that they were lit released however in this plan that we received from the government it confirms that those individuals are still in the custody of the authorities and that an investigation is ongoing the statement is however a very a vague on 2 aspects it does not say it does not name the group that these 14 individuals belong to and it also does not name the security institution the iraqi security institution that is holding them so it is possible according to some analysts that these 14 people were in fact transferred to the security forces of the popular. mobilization of forces which includes the type hezbollah a community in indonesia has been praised for rescuing a group of rohingya refugees stranded at sea nearly $100.00 people were on board the vessel almost a 3rd of them children they're now in the province of say where they've been given shelter just a washington reports from jakarta. tired and confused but finally safe after
12:35 am
weeks possibly months of see this group of rohingya refugees is finally on land after disembarking in the invasion province of cheney for now this staying in an empty government building where officials are checking their health and identity. this man told al jazeera why he made the dangerous journey. and reckoning state that was slaughtering us we had to beg for our lives to be allowed to reach the shore of another country your heart he says his brother was murdered in myanmar and he's traumatized like everyone around him hundreds of thousands of largely muslim have been escaping from myanmar since the military's crackdown began in 2017 it's still not clear how long these refugees were seen indonesian fishermen rescued them and brought them closer to shore before local authorities decided whether to allow
12:36 am
them to disembark the community rallied together carrying the refugees from their vessel and on to land. were felt sorry for most of the children and babies on the boats we didn't have the heart to see that so we decided to bring them to shore the difficult journey all the more dangerous during the pandemic they were tested for covert 19 after disembarking and we were there with them how long they'd be here we don't know who coordinate with the central government and immigration the most important thing now is the taste this particular rapid test can be unreliable but so far all the results have returned negative human rights groups have praised the fisherman for rescuing the rohingya refugees from the sea and also the local community for welcoming them with open arms but they say it's now time for the indonesian government to address how they will fulfill the basic needs of these refugees and work with other countries in the region to stop people from taking these perilous journey the local people are working very hard to collect funds to
12:37 am
collect you know all the basic services or all the really good people but i think it's it's it should be it should be supported by the government. giving them clarity giving them certainty that the government is willing to provide them. you know. the indonesian government says it's working with the regional neighbors to put an end to dangerous boat journeys but he is of discussions have not been able to stop the humanitarian crisis causing people to flee in the 1st place jessica washington al-jazeera jakarta egypt ethiopia and suits on have agreed that i disobey about won't fill a controversial mega on the river nile until the 3 reach an agreement the egyptian government is concerned filling the dam too quickly will reduce its supply of water downstream and sudan once guarantees it will be safely and properly operated so let's get more on those developments with have
12:38 am
a morgan she's joining us from khartoum so what are more we learning about this. well daryn it took a meeting between the prime ministers of sudan if you're going to egypt as well as other members of the african union including the current chair of the african union south african president asked the remote force us to try to bring this recites together after several rounds of talks fail now what is the what the statement that was released by the prime minister of the office of the prime minister of the dog is that the 3 sides have agreed that they will resume talks immediately on a technical level we repeatedly heard statements from the 3 sides saying that 95 percent of the issues have been resolved and that there's only remaining 5 percent as well as the legal aspects but that was the biggest concern the fact that the legal aspects have been under assault and the flag that the all the agreements of 95 percent that they've been talking about is not legally binding so there were concerns that if you would start yelling at them affecting. countries like today
12:39 am
and egypt so according to the statement from the prime minister's office here in sadat we know that the restart of the sites will meet during a period of 2 weeks to try to iron out their differences to try to reach a deal and that it will not fill that gap until it meets but what is not clear is that if it will not reach it will not feel that down until a deal is reached within the coming 2 weeks or if there will be further extensions and more talks and until a deal is reached then if europea can slow down that is something that is very much up in the air and several rounds of talks. have failed including those that have been held here in sydney's capital khartoum so it's not clear if there is enough political will something that all sides have been saying is needed to try to deal it's not clear if there is enough political will during this round of talks to try to iron out their differences and have a deal i reached before the dam or if you're it would be able to hold back for
12:40 am
weeks possibly months possibly years until it reached a right to have a morgue and thank you for that update from khartoum. the u.s. house of representatives has approved a bill to make the capital washington d.c. the nation's 51st state if it passes the republican controlled senate then more than 700000 people in district would finally have the representation other states take for granted the white house says it opposes statehood and the bill is expected to face opposition in the senate. as we approach july 4th it is long past time to apply the nation's oldest slogan no taxation without representation and the principle of consent of the governed to district of columbia residents. h.r. 51 would do so and congress has both the moral obligation and the

constitutional authority to pass the bill or privacy campaigners are warning that the next phase of thank you kay's lockdown could lead to major data breach from the 4th of july restaurants and bars and england can welcome customers again but owners will be required to record their names on contact details brennan has more from london. the u.k. hospitality sector is worth nearly $50000000000.00 a year before coronavirus employs $3200000.00 people as the industry gears up for a new beginning post lockdown social distancing is not the only issue it has to cope with. restrictions when the capacity of these microbrewery in west london has fallen from 35 to just 10 but it's the requirement to somehow keep the names and details of every single customer for 21 days which is lead the owner to actually perspiring reopening we haven't had a booking system before something completely new we have to look into which is why i think i'm gingerly waiting for
12:42 am
