began florida and texas among states delaying efforts to reopen and increasing restrictions and europe is forging ahead with reopening but it struggling to reach consensus on how to do it e.u. leaders have not yet agreed on which countries will be allowed quarantine free access from wednesday well hargett singh bowtie is a doctor working on covert 1000 cases and also president of the progressive medicos and scientists forum in india and he says the easing of restrictions need to be managed more carefully. personally as a physician i don't see any achievement as a law because madara says order to you anything be the have rules and there. are a number of things as well the best and the as it was one of the just and that's not the be out there that i was expecting for the one and who are they isolated more bishops betrayed that you know mission but doing that bit of.

the gene of concentration and on need their part of their way just walking in are not going to be already very sure is the way this is where it doesn't happen and that is also exposed the isis intrusion on free to be a lake in a lake we have seen the make it into places many off limits what made it on who was also seen the who or what market will get there to be ideas are good at the be just because of it is the work of the student themselves full there is that the other because of their course will and because they are stupid of don't bother management not management doesn't handle their bishops to be able to see any deaths of other the body diseases the innocent deaths of their bishops thoughtful in the health care system has lent their own 60 if there would be one simple thing be a health care system when. they are costly does of very costly that's why i believe hospital facilities are anything and and the public hospitals as it is want to

limit your ability than it will be lasers because my requests wigglesworth not be the only beauty of what is not meant is blank book gap the gap the basis of labor possibly builds and they're trying to make something really went even mortal the dow did last july then most of the indian population. saw what i was expecting from a lot of. these investment into. the public and. mean really boogies as an ordinary before hospital beds and did and 2nd. national aids hospital because both hospitals have been 1st the health and balance their only problem is that a lot because the costs of the sort of if not are going to. be more what all ends are stuck there are many but i would like because the last of it then only

the big is sure it. in the united states the top infectious disease expert has warned of a serious problem as cave in 1000 cases increase is also concerned that young people are getting infected at an alarming rate and official reports now from washington d.c. rise in 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 we flattened the curve 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 old restrictions 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 per head of population than brazil 88 percent of the state's intensive care beds are full doctors see a health system on the edge and as has been experienced it can 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've thinking that some of that has already been let and that is concerning 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. see 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 fust alan fischer al-jazeera at the white house well the most populous state california is one of those seeing a rise in infection since cities like san francisco well they're scrambling to climb down again and remind people that the virus is still very active and it's still very 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 where a mask practice physical distancing peru has launched a nationwide vaccination program to prevent preventable diseases as it deals with a crowbar as pandemic hundreds have been queuing in the capital lima to be immunized against measles and other illnesses months of look down measures have prevented many children and elderly people from great getting routine vaccinations ruth recorded more than a quarter of a 1000000 coated 90 infections and close to 9000 deaths. well the u.k. is set to cancel its 14 day quarantine for people arriving from countries it considers to be low risk for covert 19 it will divide nations into green and red categories and those arriving from the 1st 2 groups will no longer have to go into isolation the rule changes are due to be announced next week you could also expected to establish so-called and bridges with france italy spain germany greece

and that would mean quarantine for the holidays for travelers to and from those countries but the united states political and south america they're expected to be among those in the red the u.k. self isolation policy came into effect on june the 8th and has been criticized by and lines ports and the hospitality sector. let's speak to paul brett another joins us from london and paul look there are restrictions being eased in people's thoughts turn to the possibility of overseas travel where are we with. well i have to say the idea of going somewhere sunny and warm right now is extremely appealing as i'm standing here in the drizzle in kingston upon thames in west london but the announcement that the restrictions that were in place that were placed on travelers coming into the u.k. it was open but there are about u.k. travelers who have gone on holiday and are coming back and also people just arriving tourists in the u.k. they were having to quarantine themselves self isolate for 14 days under pain of

a 1000 pound fine that's somewhere in the region of $1200.00 what we have is a kind of tentative announcement that's come out not officially through ministers as yet but through a government spokesman saying as you say a traffic light system will be introduced it's interesting the timing because it's only 3 weeks since pretty patel the home secretary actually announced this much criticized quarantine measure so the effectively ditching it at the 1st opportunity but what it will do is give encouragement to travel agents and the association of british travel agents is already described it as encouraging and potentially open up the idea of tourists arriving in the u.k. and spending the money it's that there's an economic imperative here and also opening up the opportunity for people in the u.k. to go overseas to the question mark is whether it's too late for that we're already at the end of june and usually travel plans are made by now yes there will probably be a last minute rush of bookings but i suspect that many people have decided that this

year at least they're going to stay at home and pull the relief of release from lockdown has manifested itself in various ways but it's also created some challenges for the police. yeah and the prime minister boris johnson is appealing for people to show to show a degree of common sense and restraint i think the combination of factors here in the u.k. which have led to kind of parties and gatherings and. those factors include the very hot weather that we've had here which lends itself to people going outside the sense of relief and release after nearly 3 months locked down and in the case of up in liverpool where the team won the premier league after a long long waits of over 30 years fans supporters up there have been celebrating for a 2nd night and a dispersal order had to be issued by ms sun police there to. go home and not to congregate around the ground so they there's

a combination of factors but it is proving a real challenge for police because there are certain legal measures that they can enforce but the rest of it is only guidelines and it's the police have been a pains to say that they're not here just to enforce died lines that's a different matter altogether or a politer there for the moment to support brennan reporting there from a rainy london. now a group of researchers at the university of barcelona believe that $1000.00 may have appeared months before it was reported in china in december last year in an unpublished dudie they report finding traces of the virus in a sample of sewage water back in march 2019 while the trace levels were low the spanish virologists think it could shed light on the origins of the pandemic when it started and how to prepare countries against future outbreaks by testing sewage systems but independent experts have been cautious and they've called the study flawed and they want more evidence and tests conducted before drawing any conclusions scientists still trying to confirm the exact source of the virus but

the consensus is that it began at a wet market in china let's speak now to simon clark who is an associate professor in selling microbiology at the university of reading and joins us on skype simon clarke it is it is the nature is native the urgent need for solutions that are a lot of research that would ordinarily wait for peer review is getting out there fast faster than you'd never expect how much credence should we give this particular analysis. we're seeing a lot of things pushed out publicized where it really really should wait to see the results of that if they stick to it a piece of research which again hasn't been they are need is sort of chimes with suggestions from other countries i see this distance from france and italy but the virus mind that circulates in those countries if for we really thought it got going so we need to look at this work quite carefully look at what they got and that will

come out in the process and if they have something if they're on to something then i'm sure that other research is working insane environment on similar samples will be able to find the same results but really except be a you know a it is quite a surprising to suggest that base virus was circulating spot back if you're at least as far back as 7 but because of course people didn't start to get in until about february a year so why would it have taken so long they they did talk about people getting ill with what was diagnosed as regular flu but it might have been ok but 19 is is there's no way of saying is that. no there isn't but i think we would have seen it given the nature of these fires given the fact that it spread so quickly and so easily we would have seen an increase in cases of the nature that we saw in late summer. it really is you know this is not to like flu we would be able to trace

back to medical records people who had copd it 19 symptoms as opposed to the flu so i don't think necessarily in the least of all cases it would have been hit by by flu all right what about this this concept of psalm playing waste water because what i read it was interesting in that in one liter of waste water you can provide information on millions of people and that gives you a better idea of spread because a lot of those what is it 40 to 45 percent would have been asymptomatic. probably about that yes so looking way slaughter course everybody's face gets mixed together you live in a certain area so with a really sensitive molecular techniques that we have available to us these that we can detect really very very small amounts of in this case a virus in volume handleable volumes of waste or so of course those samples of graceful need to be have been properly installed properly as well you

know just to get an accurate results out. why is it proving so difficult to pinpoint the source of covert 19 does it normally take this long does it take longer to try and find out where a virus originated from. well you have to trace everyone back and it gets more and more difficult to trace walt's back probably 7 but in china if this came from an animal it was the weight that he passed it out it the person who conceived that animal picked up the 1st human eye just version of this corona virus if they get disease or that they spread it on a suit to magically somebody else you don't go so it's impossible to know because so many people 'd have kept this virus without symptoms it's impossible to know how the changes develop so it's on some clot fascinating thought she was over thanks very much indeed thank you. plenty more ahead on the news

hour including businesses in argentina as capital brace for more hardship after the government extends a lockdown mission. plus the gulf veteran leading the way at the latest p.g.a. tour event that's coming up it's been. facebook says it will start flagging up more posts that break its rules ahead of the u.s. election in november critics have accused of failing to act on hate speech prompting a boycott by some of the world's biggest appetites. and that's. re facebook c.e.o. mark zuckerberg has been under increasing pressure on several fronts from users advertisers and employees even facing a virtual walkout by staff who want the company to take a tougher stance against inflammatory posts facebook's critics have pointed to

$70000000000.00 u.s. dollars so knows what he's thinking about he's the gatekeeper with the november presidential vote just 4 months away facebook has already taken down a video posted by donald trump's reelection campaign and the president's lashed out at social media platforms efforts accusing them of censoring conservative views on al-jazeera arlin is about to get a new prime minister michel martin is set to be elected in parliament it's fair to foil a party is former coalition governments with former ruling party even go and the greens outgoing prime minister of russia is expected to take over the role half way through the government's 5 year. if europeans water minister says an agreement over it's made them project should be finalized in $2.00 to $3.00 weeks its ground relations dam has been the source of an increasingly bitter dispute with egypt and

sudan talks had stalled over the speed at which ethiopia should fill the reservoir sudan and egypt have both raised the issue recently at the un security council well if you have built the ground relations dam on the blue nile which is a source of most of the nonsupport of egypt tons who don't downstream depend heavily on it and fear that water supplies could be put at risk if you have to assess the hydro power at the time of jews is essential for its economic growth which is there is have a morgan has more from sudan's capital of khartoum it took a meeting between the prime ministers of sudan egypt as well as other members of the african union including you correct chair of the african union south african president asked the remarks also to try to bring this response together after several rounds of talks. failed so now what this is what the statement that was released by the prime minister also by the office of the prime minister of the i'm told is that other things besides that they will resume talks immediately on

a technical level so i was 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 of the world health organization says an ebola outbreak in eastern democratic republic of congo is no longer an international public health measures more than $2200.00 people have died since it was detected 2 years ago focus now shifts to another outbreak in the northwest region as well as containing the spread of course of corona virus. more heavy rain is expected in the commercial capital of ivory coast for at least 7 people have been killed in flooding there's been 3 times the normal rainfall in abidjan in the past few days which he writes white spread damage people living in areas at risk of further flooding and landslides to leave the country is in the middle of its rainy season which usually lasts till about. and speaking of heavy rain plenty over in asia to

julie yes there is and again these are seasonal rains as well nic but of course we have been talking about for weeks where the now and the damage continues to be done the satellite shows where we have got a lot of activity going to last and central regions of china and have a look at these pictures because this is actually in particular eastern provinces now nearly 40000 people have up to be evacuated the last few days from 38 different counties because of scenes like this of course eventually they've been able to get the rescue crews in but you can just see yet more rain is going through the rest of sunday you get this heavy downpour particularly working its way towards the east of course the same system which brings the heavy rains across china also this my you front works its way to the east of japan but it is the most false thing to the east of japan still some showers and scott the thunderstorms by far the bulk of the rains continue to be through central china and in particular on monday this next mass will work its way across the yellow sea towards the korean peninsula and in fact as we go through saturday sunday and monday who bay province in central china is likely to pick up another $400.00 millimeters of rain to think about that nearly

half a meter of rain on top of what's already come down and cause also on some very saturated ground so we're going to continue to see scenes like that coming out of china because elsewhere we've seen flooding across areas of india now the northeast is where the rain has been particularly heavy over the last few days and they will be heavy as well as we go through the next couple of days you can see here up into assam just again how widespread there is a flood waters are you can see also where the heavy rain is it is extending up into dash across into be our west bengal but in particular again up towards the north east and also the other area in india where we see typically very heavy rains throughout much the monsoon season is out across the northwest but again when it comes to the rains accumulating of the next few days nick look at this again getting on hoth a meter of rain so it's rains that are needed but there's always that very negative downside yet always a downside of not thanks very much jenny thank you. so on al jazeera mexico city's police chief. survives and assassination attempts. you officials believe was behind

on top of years of austerity following the 2008 global financial crisis or that. when i 1st chose this law if things were good that a family had dreams in the past 11 is as salaries have fallen by more than a half and texaco not no. other seafarers are having the opposite problem they're only able to get home after many months at sea because of travel restrictions due to covert 19 speedily not a vocalist has been on a very large crude carrier for 7 months he spoke to us by satellite phone from the philippines. the fatigue is psychological we tell it even 6 months is a long time and we haven't stepped on a shelf a 7 months we haven't seen a single new person it's a kind of imprisonment about 400000 nuts and seamen i thought to be stranded at home or at sea due to a coronavirus related travel restrictions and that could eventually have an impact on global trade 80 percent of which is carried by ship the supply of goods across

the world is what keeps factories working shop shelves stocked and even fuel pumps full shipowner your article is good for me curly says whereas things are slowly starting to loosen up it's still difficult and expensive to rotate crews out of port where there was a device that they have started to allow crew rotation we inquired as to how this can be done and the list of requirements was such that it made it impossible so the vessel had to be there 2 days before baucus had to go on board and the job and cost cuts had to be done devotional had to wait and then the class would come back and the crew would go would get off and the 2 would be quarantined then the group that would come in would be part of the men the vessel that the wait for that would it was quite easy and it goes on and on fatigue and poor mental health a dangerous at sea they create conditions in which accidents can happen and lives are lost the crews stranded around the world of finding it difficult to understand why they're considered potential sources of infection they spend weeks between

ports and they're among the most isolated people in the world jumpstart openoffice al-jazeera paris. well in part 2 of our series on people stranded by the pandemic will be meeting migrants stuck in kenya and they're among tens of thousands left in limbo across the continent that's from 10 g.m.t. on sunday right here on al-jazeera but let's look at this problem of those stranded at sea let's speak to gareth levin who's a senior economics economist at capital economics and he joins us by skype from london with a letter welcome to the program this is the great unseen problem isn't it tens of thousands of seafarers just marooned seize some for up to a year yeah i think at the moment it's mo a kind of humanitarian problem for the seamen they're involved rather than a macroeconomic problem that because of the big global downturn it's now underway it's been a sharp fall 'd in global trade which meant that hasn't been as much demand as you might of otherwise out for this service is also the fact is that they can actually

stay on the ship so you continue to work i think problems will actually arise if they refused to the ships wouldn't get insurance and then they wouldn't be able to sell off so at the moment it's not a macro economic crisis it's more of a humanitarian right there is potential though isn't there with 80 percent and more of world trade conducted by ships at sea so the potential impact if things do start going iraq is enormous isn't. i think that's right yes that as you mentioned 80 percent of global trade is taken by ships just given the size in the book at all there's no real substitute for some could obviously be taken through effort but not lost and so it's really up to governments the authorities around the world to him to get a grasp of this problem i think one way that you could do is is to designate ship work as is is essential work is the same way that lorry drivers have been which

would allow them to then switch between course and travel more easily that is one thing that could be done quite easy to what extent has the pandemic affected the supply chain because the ports have been shut both have been cleansed the ships have been allowed to enter the coastal waters so it must have had some impact yes and i think actually the best entry but also as well you've had losses factory closes around as well during the shutdown period and it's not that parent at the moment how big an impact that's having on global supply chains just because this in a big slump in demand as well and i think it will take a few moments before we realize how severe these supplies and change so it is are we just given how global is the world is and how dependent on these just in time supply chain is i think it could start to become more of a constraint in the next few months right and how might that manifest itself just in terms of a regular staples not arriving or what. probably not so much in terms of kind of

regular food and stuff but if you think of a smartphone think of a car that go for many many different components and it's essential for a company such as for example apple them exhaustion that it can get all these components in time so you continue to ship this product but if you have for example a factory closure in china that last 1st and month that it makes it hard for the young for the company maybe based in korea to then assemble the pro that it needs so i think over the next few months you know maybe some of the supply chain shows that mosque might start to become more. and given that do you think that the the mention the globalised nature of things do you think that they'll be a rethink about how goods a supplied around the world following this experience i think that's very likely yes that certainly has some kind of essential products such as pharmaceuticals i think it's likely the governments are going to want to have their own stock in supply in their own country to make sure that it's not seen as vulnerable to these

destructions otherwise i think what you'll also see is that companies at the moment they're very wary to have too much stock of a good install because expensive still is that what you might see as the inventors of build up you also might see some shift away from so many companies having production facilities in china which makes them vulnerable to shortages and that is there so you may see some companies moving him moving production maybe to other places it is just that has been not as well. interesting to integrate a perspective appreciate it kara from capital economics thank you keith. now argentina has extended its coronavirus restrictions for one as there is in the surrounding regions rules that would do to end on sunday will now stay in place until at least july the 17th and that is putting more pressure on businesses that are barely scraping by has more now from worlds where. these are not

easy times for the us and her husband. they own the sun they beat their restaurant in one of the scientists but i mean the covert 1000 prices marian the says there's just not enough business and the restaurants may have to close for good anymore so that we think we come from one crisis after another and we're tired him or feeling it a lot we don't know what's going to happen so we're trying to go day by day trying to keep things going by selling takeaway as argentines were used to be adopting but it's not easy but this one they read that is not the only restaurant trying to survive there are over 100000 businesses in argentina they're on the verge of collapse. argentina was already struggling with inflation and recession prior to the pandemic and that's one of the reasons why many small businesses are finding it difficult to remain open this restaurant for example is shutting down the onerous road here that they're closing their business because of acquiring. argentina was

one of the 1st countries in the region to impose a strict lockdown to prevent the spread of disease it's been over 3 months but a recent spike in cases in hard hit areas that include one aside is has convinced the government to extend it even further but imo i know not everyone agrees with what we're doing but we need to do something to stop the amount of contagions money to make sure there are enough beds and guarantee that all arjun tines get the attention they deserve for many this is a mistake to extend something that has a konami consequences but the world bank says not alberto fernandez that it's the most severe economic crisis since the 1970 s. it's not only argentina but the whole world that is deteriorating because of the pandemic even though some businesses in the city were allowed to reopen in recent weeks they will now have to close their doors again meanwhile authorities are fighting against lockdown fatigue and enormous economic difficulties that have many arjan times on the edge. of the places if the government like in other countries

covered part of the economic earnings of retailers like myself we would be at home without the concerns that you have with mounting bills and debt that makes you frustrated and on top of that you have to feed your family. the government is giving away cash handouts to help those in need and this assisting businesses but it's not reaching everyone a major problem in a crisis that has no end in sight. authorities in mexico city say they've arrested 12 suspects who after attempt to assassinate the police chief gunmen believed to be connected to a drug cartel stormed an upscale neighborhood and opened fire with sniper rifles and grenades the police chief survived but 2 of his bodyguards and a woman driving by were killed is as a nation attempt in the wealthy neighborhood has shocked many in the country already played by violent when more reports from mexico city.

this sound of gunfire and explosions rocked the mexican capital in the early hours of friday morning when gunmen wielding high caliber weapons attacked mexico city's police chief it will stop the head of public security in mexico city was wounded and there are other deaths in this attack all of this has to do without a doubt with the work being carried out to guarantee peace and security. authorities have confirmed that at least 2 police officers were killed in the shootout as well as one bystander as that has such a thing for the man that makes it is just as the parliament has confirmed 12 arrests i feel confident the investigation will yield results to find those responsible for ordering this act of aggression and. at least 6 criminal groups are known to operate within mexico city in a tweet following the attack the city's police chief placed the blame on the new generation cartel the hollies going new generation cartel is one of the most powerful drug cartels in the region and was only recently identified as having

a presence within the limits of mexico city. the shootout in the mexican capital is only the latest incident of mass violence in the country. on wednesday 16 people were killed in a gunfight between rival drug gangs in the mexican state of sinaloa on monday 15 were killed following an attack on an indigenous village in the state of la haka. despite the ongoing corona virus outbreak battles over control of drug territory have not lessened and. mexico city. it's rails will turn it prime minister benny gantz has weighed in on a culture of national plan to annex parts of the occupied west bank and if facebook post on friday suggested that any palestinians in future and next areas may be granted equal rights israel is set to start rolling out its plans on july the 1st it has been following the story from west to slim. of course next week could be a very momentous one with the july the 1st date which is the earliest possible date

under the deal between him and netanyahu the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu for this coalition government that's the 1st date under which the movement towards annexation can be advanced and he sets out what could be read as something of a toughened tone and against netanyahu in terms of saying that that he would be willing to speak to the palestinians at any time even tomorrow if they wanted to seriously that there would be no annexation in a palestinian area or least an area with a large palestinian population or where their movement would be severely curtailed if there were palestinians inside such an area they would be granted equal rights that there would be security and diplomatic groundwork that went in place ahead of any annexation to preempt any potential potential security problems and also said that he would advance moves towards bilateral negotiations with the palestinians as

part of this as well and all of this he says is part of the american peace plan the trump plan but really when you look at it it doesn't really reject anything that looks within the bounds of what might well happen in any case the indications that we've been getting from benjamin netanyahu and his officials are that he wants 1st to declare israeli sovereignty as they put it on major israeli illegal settlements close to the green line close to here just south of jerusalem and the they would be the 1st phase. it's been a week since the united states impose its toughest sanctions yet on syria's president bashar al assad and his allies and central to those sanctions was evidence that syrian president has been tortured but activists say the u.s. action fall short of delivering justice good to as this. in this gallery in serious it looks city lies evidence of atrocities inside president
