angry scenes iran's foreign minister zarif is heckled by politicians in parliament . and croatia goes to the polls to choose a new government amid a recession and the coronavirus pandemic. and i'm peter simmons with the sport is formula one makes a thrilling. the action coming up later as well as an anti racism protest on the grid. and we begin with the increasing number of covert 1000 cases worldwide saturday so the biggest single day rise since the pandemic began with more than 212000 new infections globally now the majority of those were in latin america which now has more cases than europe mexico has been reporting record new infections it's now got the 5th highest death toll in the world in israel officials have ordered thousands

of people back into quarantine as they deal with the worst surge in you cases since the outbreak began the government's also resumed its controversial phone surveillance program to track cases. and there's a record number of new cases in the philippines its government has been easing quadrantid restrictions for more on the situation and latin america let's go to alison who's live for us in bogota ok alexandra let's talk about mexico 1st of all the numbers still rising there what's going on. yes mexico said on record a new cases on saturday 6914 bringing the total there to more than 250000 there's also another record in the number of deaths 523 it's a very grim picture in the country it's obviously also affecting the popularity of the president there

a lot but it's obrador and the secretary held to. tell both insists that weeks ago that mexico had to read the reach the peak or was very close to reaching that peak insisting on the need them particularly the president of reopening the economy as much in as fast as possible instead we've seen the number of contagions that have kept rising so a lot of mexicans are questioning the knowledge or do you understand what's happening in their government because of what they're seeing because there there has been an increase in hospitalizations in the capital. mexico city and also in a number of states especially the northern states on the border with the u.s. these states border with the new hot spots in the united states such as arizona

texas and again in california also this has affected some of the reopening that were scheduled over the weekend especially in the capital of mexico city in downtown mexico city a number of stores were expected to reopen but that this asian was reverse that when huge crowds when to downtown on friday and saturday some of the stores didn't respect the limit in the amount of people that could go inside this. tours at any given time or where and respect thing that gene measures that were put in place 4 days reopening also on saturday a group of informal workers that have been very affected by the limitations that have been imposed in this city blocked part of the downtown of mexico city that managing to be able to return to work this the spike the fact that these numbers keep going up so it's

a very complicated situation in mexico as it is across much of latin america no easy answer there i was under as i mentioned you're talking to us from bogota give us an idea of what's happening in colombia. well colombia had imposed one of the earliest in a strict lockdown anywhere in latin america and had been relatively successful in controlling the spread the virus that until maybe 3 weeks ago when the number of hospitality stations have been increasing especially here in the capital and in cities in the caribbean coast we spoke to a number of experts here and they're telling us that in specially in the last week or so. i see you're units intensive care units have been filling and they're quite worried that what will happen in the coming weeks however new ventilators have

arrived in this city and the national government is hoping that the health system will be able to sustain what is clearly an acceleration in the number of contagions across the country this of course has a lot to do with the fact that important sectors of the economy and the informal people that will work on the streets have been able to go back to work with the president of colombia and ducasse says there's no way going back to another lockdown some police stations among them the mayor of bogota had said that it might have been wise to go back to another 2 weeks of strict lockdown that's not going to happen at least for now but the national health institute here in colombia is now saying that this acceleration will continue at least until the end of july maybe the 1st week of august and then they expect the numbers to start going down

probably and kill the beginning or mid september so there's still quite a long way to go here in colombia the same seems to be true across the region in other countries that have been relatively successful like colombia. about chile has now approaching 300000 cases numbers have been going up in argentina as well another country that had a strict lockdown at the beginning like food who is now also seeing big numbers so very complicated situation here and at a time when the possibility of another lockdown seemed to be impossible given the effects that it has already had on the economy and silence around room here to giving us a rundown of what's been happening with culver 1000 there cross the latin america asunder thank you very much indeed israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu says the country is in need of stricter measures to tackle a surging coronavirus cases officials are recording the

a 1000 new cases every day and the government's reauthorize the use of a controversial phone surveillance technology once deployed to prevent attacks on the faults in west jerusalem with more. and this is the time that the internal security service it is religion that has been sanctioned to. monitor people's phones this isn't some absolute you voluntarily download this is the security services monitoring where people have been who they've been associating with and then sending them a text message to tell them to quarantine it it's assessed that they need to do so now this is through out the use of this tactic it has caused some outrage from human rights groups liberty groups but it has been deemed necessary to be put in place again he writes newspaper has reported that some 30000 people received such text messages since this began again on thursday and those who have some doubt of korea to repeal it they are finding it very difficult to get through to the

ministry of health hotline which is being swamped with such calls as well as that there are further measures that are coming in to force 50 people maximum in places of worship in bars and in events spaces things like weddings and there are further measures under consideration the cabinet has been meeting today and there are things such as restaurants and other potential moves the trouble for the israeli government is that they obviously don't want to reimpose lockdown for economic reasons netanyahu did say if the cases got back up to 100 a day he would reimpose lock down well now they're on a 1000 a day and he still seems unwilling to do so and 3000 people living in social housing have been ordered to stay indoors that comes as a southeastern state of victoria so a rise in covert 19 infections victoria gave me has more. people who live in these tower blocks in a pool area of melbourne are some of the most vulnerable in society many have

underlying health conditions that makes the street look down they now have to endure a complex logistical task pull the authorities that orders it for 5 days which began on saturday 3000 people are banned from leaving their homes 500 police officers are patrolling the tower blocks during each shift to make sure no one breaks the law food and medical supplies are being sent in and mental health as well as drug and alcohol addiction support his own hand the state governments all say offering financial help at 1st things 1st there will be no rates charged for those tenants for the next 2 weeks secondly those who are employed and because of the hard lock down cannot go to work by was saved by $1500.00 hardship prime meant for those households where there is no one employment by was saved by $750.00 hardship the lockdown was ordered after 30 cases of coded 19 were linked to 12

households but the fear is the virus has spread to many more people through lifts and walkways this is not just a matter of 23 to 30 armed people this is a matter of many hundreds who have already been exposed and who may already be incubating while most of australia is opening back up the state of victoria is recorded an increasing cave in 1000 cases since last week in 12 suburbs people are only allowed to leave their homes to go to work exercise see a doctor or buy food in the last 10 days we've been averaging over all over 50 cases that day now compared to some parts of the well that seems to be miniscule compared to what we were having that is a big jump and as you know this is can become an uncontrollable surge if we don't control it in the 9 tower blocks where people faced. severest restrictions doctors say it will take around 5 days to test all $3000.00 residents the jury gayton be

al-jazeera well as we mentioned earlier there's been a big spike in cases in the philippines after the lifting of more lockdown restrictions they have positive cases continue to rise in other parts of south asia such as india mohammad money as if at all the just at lancaster university he's joining us on skype from there thank you very much indeed for being on al-jazeera so how much of this is this following this pattern that we seem to be saying going by the few stories we've just done that there is a relaxation of the lockdown restrictions and all of a sudden there is a spike in cases yes absolutely i think the major reason has been that the lockdown has been 1st up maybe leaky in majority of these countries and it has been for many short story and one of the thing that appears to be very disturbing at the moment is that most of the country people are having now very high level of 'd cases especially in latin america and in seoul he's case yet they have many high

level of so if you would not make disparity which had been one of the contributing factor in not having access to healthcare system and also the capability that being raised at the government level so all in all it is certainly one of the major concern at this moment i don't think it is the 2nd of may it is a continuation of the past really it's just that that much been learned especially in the latin america and southeast asia so one would assume from what you're saying that it is not a risk of the sponsibility of the south east asian countries to be able to adapt to what has been learned so far in the in order to be able to deal with this that the tail end of this 1st wave as you put it i'm not allowed to go into a 2nd wave. oh absolutely i think we have learned enough in 56 months that went into this and making many different countries and the success stories are there and i think those should be considered as a blueprint to really all of that one and make sure that there isn't any leaking into any kind of activity that would put in place and that's in fact and one of the

concerned at this moment is merely hold but get the kids ability for identifying these small clusters because you believe the let's turn is already by that at least a gives me that mean that the it will not morph into a bigger breaks and we remain under the control of the later so therefore capability that the national level and all force leave us from somebody up the public how much they have learned so far on really the key to contain defection but it it does seem that one of the key elements to containing the infection is of course locked down and there is an argument that in some cases lockdowns have been going ahead to alley predominantly for economic reasons which of course are understandable as far as governments are concerned but in a sense the cat is out of the bag isn't it once you've released those lot down restrictions it's very very difficult to reimpose them when people do have a taste of the freedom that they haven't had for several months before. yes absolutely that is again very critical especially for the countries where those

that don't have been for a longer duration if you will owe to especially for example what we have seen here in the u.k. and what it will be if we need to we imposed it would be almost impossible because the government incentives would have nearly been done most on the economical sites but in the long haul onto the personal freedom side it would be weeded tweaky and that has been one of again another reason in many of the soltys asia and in latin american companies whether they're. a lot of them have been involved relatively late or early stages which was considered maybe good because that you can control the infection but it was lifted. and they didn't really learn how much time europe for example how to put the name and what climate it quietly needed get their benefit don't dump it and even then they were it was thought it was also pretty leaky and the street may have let alone we don't in many of those countries which are really no whisking the 2nd mate was always really good to get your thoughts on this dr mohamed when there we appreciate it thank you very much. south korea

is going ahead with its annual opening of its beaches for the summer but with special arrangements in place because of the pandemic dr reports from its 2nd city of busan which is a favorite tourist destination. the beaches of blue sun or officially open and people love flocking to the south koreans are among the world's top spenders all overseas travel but most of this summer are looking to vacation a lot closer to home and still following strict rules to prevent the spread of covert 19 beach umbrella's are individually numbered so people hiring them can be traced in case they were close to someone found later to be infected for the leaf family this summer break is a new experience we'll tell you ben we often go abroad in summer but we can't do that this time so we decided on booth on they've also decided to come earlier than

normal a majority of people in south korea take their summer vacations in a narrow window from late july into early august but companies are now being encouraged to spread holidays out to avoid overcrowding in the most popular tourist destinations to san relies heavily on its summer season and local people are compensating for the lack of international visitors especially from neighboring china and japan. with only a handful of new cases of infections being reported to sound can also host festivals again. at the opening of this annual food and film event. frontline medical staff are honored for making it possible. the theme this year food as a source of healing unity between cultural life has suffered in this pandemic if we don't revitalize it and people will face more alienation and oppression we want to heal our audiences through culture. life is still far from

abase happened overnight the loss of the facility was among a string of recent defeats football and the funding for huffed pushing him to large parts of western libya. head is joining me live from tripoli mahmoud what more do we know about these attacks. 5 strikes targeted by an identified warplanes but the government here in tripoli especially the defense minister just stated saying that our crew have. foreign fighter jets carried out the attacks on turkish military facilities in other words here air base that includes an air defense system according to uncover media outlets we have not. reported any comment from the military as of

yet but only the pro. media outlets that reported that among the military facilities in other words here is targeted by a poor health or fighter jet is an air defense system units no casualties have been reported but the ministry of defense at the government of national in tripoli here says that this attack by planes is trying to send a message to try to disrupt what it calls the victory that has been achieved by the government forces it helped by the military in specially taken control of western libya from forces loyal to the world really for have to meanwhile. we have been getting reports from the strategic city of city that the costs of city of sirte are confirming that. united arab emirates and russian warplanes have been flying over the coastal city of sirte while the airstrike

happened and meanwhile as you know rob that the egyptian military has been deploying near the border with libya after the egyptian president of the fatah has threatened to carry out military direct military intervention in libya if the government forces proceed the city that of just for our line now the this is very strategic as you know rob that the government forces captured last may after the. drove out to the force of from the area and since then the turkish military experts have been trying to set up training get military facilities and training equipment to inter them as they say in terms of the military and security agreement signed with the government of national accord in last may the government also military sources say that russian. warplanes morse

a probably that carried out the attacks took off from a job for military bases in central libya which is controlled by russian mercenaries from the bag no group were up armored thank you very much indeed that's mark walker bringing us up to date from tripoli. the number of people who have died in ethiopia since the killing of a popular singer and activist has nearly doubled to 166 officials blame the deaths on both a response to the unrest by security forces and on into ethnic violence saying a hot zone 200 was a member of ethiopia is the largest ethnic group of the overall more in the shot dead in addis ababa on monday night. 2 palestinians have been shot and wounded by israeli settlers in the occupied west bank emergency crews took the victims to hospital in the town or. israel has built nearly $250.00 illegal settlements and

various occupied parts of palestinian land it's announced plans to an expanse of the west bank although it's unclear iran that's going to happen. there have been confrontations between palestinian protesters and the israeli army during protests against the annexation plans demonstrators threw rocks and israeli forces fired rubber bullets and tear gas. iran's foreign minister has been heckled by members of parliament and called a liar during a speech outlining the president's fault on an economic policies. that if was interrupted frequently during his speech with one politician even chanting death to the liar 200 m. piece of table the motion to question president haass on rouhani on issues ranging from the pandemic to climbing inflation for more on this let's bring in a said the big in teheran these are really quite extraordinary scenes i said and

for a minute mr jevons said if he has had a busy week but today hasn't really worked out who was doing the heckling and why were they doing it. no it didn't go well for him he was there to make a statement regarding recent events in the 2050 nuclear deal and as you said he was repeatedly heckled interrupted and called a liar now this is a conservative parliament that was vote. yet this year in an election that saw the lowest turnout since the revolution and it returned to parliament with the most conservative parliament we've seen since the revolution 41 years ago now conservatives haven't made any secret of the fact that they don't like the 2050 nuclear deal and they don't think president rouhani the moderate president rouhani and his cabinet have done a good job in fact they think that iran hasn't benefited in fact they think that iran is worse off and that's why foreign minister devolves raef had such a hostile reception in his defense. said that iran was winning on the diplomatic

front he said that the united states was increasingly isolated at the united nations and the security council back to 2015 nuclear deal and try to preserve it and in his defense of being called the. farmers to develop the reset that the supreme neared the ayatollah khomeini himself had called courageous brave and frank now the parliament has put forward a letter asking president rouhani to come to parliament to answer questions let's talk about that because i understand as i mentioned before the 200 m.p.'s have put forward this motion asking that the president telling the president to come to parliament to face queries what kind of reception do you think the president's going to get if he does go. when he could get even more hostile reception than his foreign minister now when this parliament was elected president rouhani came out and said that he looked forward to working with them despite the political differences but he is in a difficult position to more changes to his cabinet and he would have to take back

he's a cabinet ministers to parliament for a vote of confidence and if when he does appear in parliament the lawmakers are not happy with he's answers they could refer him to the judiciary or they could decide to impeach him now i don't think it's going to get that far because there's not much time left in his term as president to the presidential elections next year but it does show how international politics is playing out here in iran how the policies of the united states and the actions of the europeans are affecting the politics here in iran but not the way that the united states would like in fact the united states and europe will face a more hostile and more conservative parliament in a government this time next year could face a more hostile and more conservative government this time next year compared to president rouhani and that's all down to the international politics that's being played out outside of iran and the international front of course we're going to be watching to see if the president does go to parliament but in the meantime i said big thank you for talking to us from tehran where there's a growing suspicion over

a string of fires and explosions in iran the latest a fire at a power station knocked out electricity in the city of us in the past week a number of sensitive sites have been hit by suspicious fires including a petro chemical plant a weapons development and a nuclear facility. still ahead on al-jazeera more than 30 people have been killed in southwestern japan during flooding and landslides plus. until now with a herd of llamas in a field reading the fight against cope with 19 has come to this. baseball is not for the faint hearted peter is going to be here to explain what happened at this training session in sport.

mobilization forces brigade 45 better known as. this is the 1st time journalists have been allowed into one of its military bases. is nominally incorporated into iraq's security apparatus but has been accused of acting outside the formal chain of command al-jazeera gained exclusive access to dislocation in southern baghdad after it was raided by iraq's counterterrorism forces the iraqi government says it had been tipped off that a rocket was about to be launched from dismissal it towards the green zone where u.s. . other diplomatic missions are based 14 people were arrested and several weapons seized but the group says the raid was illegal carried out without an arrest warrant. on which they have evidence for the celebration they can show it to the people but here there are no missiles and launching pads the space has been here since 2015 and we have a formal letter from baghdad operations command this base is used for logistical

support this was once a farm that belonged to saddam hussein's government after 2003 it was taken over by al qaida and bombed during the sectarian conflict during our visit we didn't see flags or signs marking it as an official facility belonging to the popular mobilization forces and none of the soldiers were insignia or as it was. the pm if is being targeted so we didn't keep the flags because the surveillance drones are always flying around here our visit was tightly controlled free fighters were allowed to speak on camera and a condition they hide their faces and withhold their names they admit that they're not just part of the popular mobilization forces but also the so-called islamic resistance which fought u.s. troops in the wake of the 2003 invasion they still regard america's presence in iraq today as an occupation and aggressive we are both at the same time the

resistance and the popular mobilization forces the resistance was formed before the popular mobilization forces it for the occupiers after 2003 and expelled them in 2011 to this day the resistance groups standing against occupation. the u.s. has previously bombed positions in iraq and has pressured the iraqi government to take action the raid on this base was an unprecedented move by the iraqi government against groups that the u.s. has accused of targeting its forces prime minister mr he has promised to restrict weapons in the hands of the state but the backlash against this operation shows just how difficult it is to deliver on those promises. the night of the raid a convoy of pickup trucks with heavily armed men breached a fortified green zone to demand the release of the 14 people detained hours earlier the government yielded handing them over to the popular mobilisation forces

which equated them days later to type hezbollah released images showing its fighters as they stepped on the prime minister's picture and burned the american and israeli flags their interviews were broadcast on. own channel it was all to deliver a stern message to iraq's prime minister for. whatever. the prime minister has totally failed and he has to understand if the reliance on the americans rather than the iraqi people he will fail and if he continues this way he will show his cards as an agent of the americans and that he serves the americans more than his homeland a government spokesperson says one of the 14 detainees remains in custody but has not provided details the government's response has left many questions on answered and has raised doubts on whether the prime minister is able to confront powerful groups like. simona full team al jazeera but that wasn't all shirker is an

independent politician and an economist he says the situations left plenty of questions unanswered. one thing we know is that the type of the law has been implicated in such attacks on the u.s. embassy or the or back that the airport or the military base in the combined military bases of iraqi and u.s. soldier what happened with that raid is there is a lot of unknowns was there a arrest warrant whose name was on there arrest warrant there's a big rumor that we as the iraqis living here in baghdad are hearing that that there are iranian elements within it that has a lot who are members obviously of the i r g c there republican guards i guess in the in iran so the question is are those the high ticket items or the high level of officer that they arrested were they actually iranians or are they iraqis so there is another very very strong rumor that the iranian elements that were arrested are no longer in iraq they have been

the transported to american military bases outside iraq i can't confirm that but that's been heard from many many different sources prime minister has another problem besides what happened with that the law the turkish army has introduced then filtrated inside iraq and him the prime minister as the commander in chief cannot order the peshmerga who are still fish market as part of the iraqi armed forces he can't order them to fight the turks so you know we have the iranians involvement turkish involvement u.s. military bases. it's you know nobody wants to be in the shoes of the right in the form of a hotly. voting is underway in croatia's parliamentary elections people are choosing a new government during a recession triggered by the coronavirus pandemic the governing center right h d z party as only a slight lead against its main rival the social democratic party that could force the prime minister into an alliance with a far right nationalist bloc voters being advised to wear mosques tanya novak is

a lie for us in the coalition capital zagreb given the fact that if i understand it correctly coronavirus cases there are increasing does not have an impact on the turnout. well rob we do have the latest turnout numbers and until this afternoon 34 percent of the voters casting their ballots was just 3 percent less than in the last elections 4 years ago so it seems like the corona crisis is not affecting this low turnout creations are a bit apathic in the past 10 to 15 years about going out to 2 elections this country has been hit really hard in the economic crisis of 2008 and this is one of the poorest member states of the european union it took her about 8 years to get out of the recession by then and in just a best a few years as the things started looking better now the current crisis happened

and a lot of people are scared what the future holds for them economically the result of the 1st story the polls will be closing in about an hour and a half and then we will have the 1st exit polls and much better picture on who they voted to have in the parliament for the next 4 years time if there is a chance that the prime minister does have to have some sort of coalition with the far right party how upsetting if you like is that going to be to politics in croatia and will people accept it. well it will definitely be a popular vote as the pre-election. polls suggested that definitely the creation democratic union age does that lead by andre playing cribbage the current prime minister will most definitely have to form a coalition government now on the right side of the specter where the aged is that is a central rightist party there's

a new movement that was formed very recently called the homeland movement which is led by a folk singer miroslav scorer who tried his luck at the presidential elections by the end of the last year he didn't win the presidency but then he did manage to get quite the support and decided to try his luck again at this parliamentary elections so the polls are suggesting that he might get quite a few votes and quite a few mandates in the parliament and they already during the complain hinted that their coalition is a very certain possibility after the elections that might turn crazy a little bit further more right because the wreath oric of the homeland movement was very nationalistic it was quite exclusive and it was pretty much. it sort of. asked for

a response on the left where also another movement on the on the far left also formed called the movement we can. but the major opposition party social democratic party party with much less coalition potential than the creation democratic union so if the polls turn out to be as they were announced crazy as you to expect a turn to the right i know we're going to be keeping an eye on those results as they come in but for now time the north thank you very much indeed. at least 34 people are believed to have been killed in the southern japan as torrential rain and severe flooding continues across several asian countries and half of the victims in the coal mortar region were living in a nursing home reports. it's a challenging task for these emergency workers in southern japan the risk of more months lines is high on the island. a trail of destruction can be seen from the air
