some who. did not. so knowledge. of the number of. things from the previous century when it was there's. so little of cases. where all of. this situation will be. more testing you say how has a lot done really achieved anything when you you know look at it it was in march it began in march and restrictions started to be easy in early june did it achieve anything at all. going on as many years as you know you don't see any achievement at the lot because a lot aren't so ordered to do anything b.v. have through. a bit of a number of cases one of the best every as it was one of the largest and that's not going to be out there that i was expecting from the one who are the isolated more

vicious old owners betraying. mission but doing their bit of the a lot to break the chain of prosecutions and only that force their way just by walking in or not if your going to be very sure of the way this but it doesn't happen and yet and. also explore. the situation obviously. we have seen that i can explain since many of the needs of migrants are all those who also see the who are what are going to get it in. the b. just because of it just about it wouldn't suit themselves so there is that the other deaths because of their quirks to defend because the. body managed not management of bishops being able to see the deaths of other the longing to see the innocence that so there be shorter because right now because the adult was. yeah but not done as you say it has expose inequality in india society and india's

leaders have promised said you know the coronavirus testing and the care will be available for all the people who need it for all indians are you know from experience and what you're seeing right now are treatment options being provided equally can people afford to be treated. actually. in the end your system is laid there on 6070 percent of the story. because the dogs are already lost because part of the lesson to be learned anything and the public hospital says it is not a limit to the inequity that exists because they are hospitals when it's not. the only. one it's not holding does look at the prices are a possibility and they are going to make some equally when you look up. the law school then what all the indian population. just saw what i was expecting from

a lot of. investment into. the public and was. writing to me in a really big movies as an ordinary day for hospital bets and 2nd. match latest all of america. thinks must have come at balance the only problem is that all the other. boats sort of if not are going to this is. all a just after many thought it was because of its then only big and it sure the usa thank you so much stuck to her juicing batty for talking to us about the situation in india thank you for joining us from new delhi thank you and now to the u.s. where the top infectious disease expert has warned of a serious problem as a number of call the 1000 cases increases there's also concern that young people

are getting infected and the alarming rate of vice president mike pence remains of beads alan fischer reports from washington rising cases after almost 2 months away it's back this moment in the coronavirus pandemic is different and faced with a surge in cases across the country the white house coronavirus task force faces a renewed threat we're in a much stronger players the truth is we did slow the spread. the current recent days have brought a record number of infections 16 states are seeing a rising number of cases and infection rates states like texas which had started to reopen no bringing back all distractions after a 145 percent rise in cases in just 14 days bars closed restaurants cutting capacity public gatherings limited houston's mayor calls it a crisis the numbers are jumping exponentially and rising fast and we are quickly moving in the wrong direction arizona has no more cases provide a population than brazil 88 percent of the state's intensive care beds are full

doctors see a health system on the edge and as positive an experience to try to make for each other at some point there's a tipping point and we're hoping we don't already actually say this is tender waiting to explode but i'm thinking that some of that has already been let and there is concern the man who has played a major role in the white house response had this warning to young people the thing that you really need to realize that when you do that you are part of a process so if you get infected you will infect someone else who clearly will infect someone else we know that happens because the reproduction element of the virus is not less than one so people are infecting other people and then ultimately you will infect someone who is vulnerable the task force met at the department of health not here at the white house opponents say that shows the president's level of engagement with the crisis now the president also said the virus would start to

go away in the warmer weather it hasn't one expert saying this isn't the 2nd wave it's still the 1st alan fischer out to sea or at the white house the most populous us state california is one of those seeing a rise in infection cities like san francisco are scrambling to clamp down again and remind people that the virus is still very active and dangerous. 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 wear a mask practice physical distancing in other news facebook is borrowing to

pressure and says it will flag all polls some politicians that break its rules including those from president donald trump in a reversal of its practices facebook also says it will ban ads that scapegoat minorities all promote hate speech but the stop hate for profit campaign argues it's not doing enough more than 90 companies have joined a boycott of the path for coca-cola and unilever are the majors big companies to join the nearly $100.00 brands putting their digital advertising from facebook we're going to start labeling content. that we find newsworthy that might otherwise fire a policy is there's no newsworthy exemption to content that incites violence or suppress the vote even if a politician or government official says it if we determine the content may lead to violence or deprive people of their right to vote we're going to take the content down no matter who says it. james warren is executive editor of news goddess site

which rates credibility of news information sides he says the announcement by facebook has not received a lot of attention. i think it's perhaps because a lot of folks who follow facebook see it as a very characteristic almost minimalist response to criticisms they tend to be a follower not a leader in this field though they have a self-image as the great defender of the 1st amendment they are the total power in the media field last year even amid the criticism which is very similar to what you're seeing this week their advertising revenues last year 2000 $1001.00 of something like 27 percent to nearly $70000000000.00 u.s. dollars so soccer bird you know he's the king of the hill he's the gatekeeper and he has the power and i think the desire to wait out most criticism he gets but with the changes he announced today to his lawyers are pretty small and i think that there was power nation

a tremendous on happiness among their own employees and the sort of mini staff or both and then the fact that major companies are you know trying to announcing their yankee their advertising that said it remains sort of this absolutely potent vehicle for the political class and the corporate class around the world and i don't think that's going to change in a partly explains the odd relationship soccer seem to have with president donald trump who they have noticed has been far less far short of facebook as on the other media platforms it's been revealed that they dined at the white house last year and trump has asserted the same political self-interest especially in a campaign year which now in surprisingly finds itself way behind joe biden to stay on good terms because he knows that facebook ultimately is a tremendously potentially potent vehicle for his political advertising and his attacks against joe biden. ethiopia's water minister says an agreement over its
