a month with brazil mexico and venezuela the worst affected nations some countries are pushing ahead with the reopening kenya's president has announced international flights will resume on august the 1st he's under pressure to restart the struggling economy after nearly 4 months of destructions more now in israel how the faucets and west to receive them he says the new restrictions on to surprise we knew that the coronavirus cabinet so-called was meeting on monday there's been a lot of talk about the way the numbers have been spiking in recent days and weeks hovering at around 1000 a day though 817 on sunday not 107 overnight and there is real fear in the government that despite what was seen as a relatively successful early lockdown you remember israel shut its borders and went into a pretty extreme set of measures very early in the pandemic that even now if there is a 2nd wave is or seems to be indeed government officials are talking about

a 2nd wave that the health system could become under extremely severe strain if new restrictions on to imposed in this couldn't this might not be the end of it now isn't yos talking to the prime minister about being on the step of imposing another lockdown but so far the restrictions are as follows all clubs at the close all bars at the close gyms as well all cultural events there was we understand some serious talk about closing all synagogues as well because again the locks communities in israel have been a major area of hotspots of infection it is understood the health the interior ministry interior minister rather not all docs politician argued for synagogues to remain open but they will be limited from down from 50 to a maximum of 1000 people allowed in a synagogue at any one time. well as we mentioned earlier the infection rate in latin america is now the highest in the world with cases they're trickling just

among american medical editor on the scene newman is joining us live from santiago and let's talk about brazil and 1st of all they seem absolutely determined to open up their economies even though the numbers there are rising what's the thinking behind this. well absolutely it's certainly not they're not sanitary conditions that they're sinking of but more economic they some states like rio de janeiro and sao paolo that have the highest infection and death rates from cold 19 are starting to ease those restrictions even though their local authorities actually had defied president j. bull so nat'l for months by. putting in measures for social distancing mask wearing and and such but now they are they are easing those especially in sao paolo which seem extraordinary since that even fiction right there has been soaring and as of in a few hours from now it will be illegal to reopen restaurants bars and gymnasiums and

there are thousands and thousands of gymnasiums in brazil and in sao paolo in particular it's a country where people are very close conscious of their of staying fit and as we all know that is considered one of the most dangerous places for people to eat so i spoke to a brazilian. just just a few minutes ago and he says that this is this will just absolutely make the death rate soar but it is happening because not so much to appease the president or because they are caving in to pressures from the government the federal government but rather from the business sector which says that it cannot last any longer under the current restrictions and just highlight how different countries are taking different approaches across latin america in venezuela as it's going back into lockdown even though it's figures that have been relatively low or.

they are very very low if you compare them to their neighboring countries like brazil in colombia even here in chile we have here something like $350.00 deaths per 1000000 inhabitants while in venezuela it is 6 but the reason is that. there are multiple justifications for this and just want to remind everyone that the lockdown has never really been lifted in venezuela it was just slightly eased but now they're going into a president nicolas maduro tickles extreme lockdown mode which means putting up road blocks on streets around neighborhoods because there is not enough running water for people to wash their hands at the hospitals if the number of infections continues to rise could be overwhelmed and also many are afraid that there could be more protests in the country because of the lack of food in hygiene and so this seems to take care of all of those by making it even more difficult for people to go out even journalists are being denied the normal permits that that they've had

up until now and then you have the president of course in a very very aggressive mode against his neighbor colombia where there are thousands of thousands of venezuelans that want to go home that have been doing quarantine along the border but he says he's not going to allow them in because he's accusing his neighbor of sending in infected venezuelans as quote revenge that's the see in human unlocking america adults are reporting from santiago in the sea of thank you very much and. some of india's popular monuments to reopen for the 1st time in more than 3 months but its most famous the taj mahal and all those in the city of agra remain closed that's as the number of corona virus cases continues to rise india has surprised to russia as the 3rd worst affected country with nearly 700000 cases and 20000 elizabeth problem reports from new delhi. it took. 17 years to build the taj mahal in the 17th century and for those wishing to see

the mob a muslim for his wife the wait just got longer. we were very excited about coming here my daughter's been frustrated and so were we after sitting at home for weeks so we decided to come here when we heard that it was going to open but now we're disappointed. the indian government open to many monuments on monday for the 1st time since march but the taj mahal will remain shut because it's surrounded by areas under quarantine elsewhere in the country few people wanted to venture out given the rising number of coronavirus cases delhi's most famous tower the 12th century. is usually one of the most popular tourist sites in the country with $8000.00 visitors a day but in the 8 hours since it's reopened only about 50 people have come to visit. with international flight still suspended many who depend on tourism a worried about how they'll survive. honestly speaking because cases are not

going up because there will be fear in the psychology of the. about going to a new place and that is definitely has a negative impact not only in delhi but all over india. the indian government says it's tested $10000000.00 people so far but it still has one of the lowest tested rates per capita in the world so reported cases are serious on the true numbers of infections. probably in the 10s of millions of at this point in time for now it's going to keep continuing to live gets over the hundreds of millions of cases and i don't really see a reason for a reprieve at this point in time because we really don't have an effective control measure. but the central government unwilling to be imposed a national lockdown because of its economic impact states implementing their own mission is to do it on the podium and carolina has begun a one week lockdown allowing only essential services kolkata has suspended flights

from the 6 worst hit cities for 2 weeks given india's large size and population health experts say different regions will experience at peak infections at different times elizabeth al-jazeera new delhi the u.k. has sanctioned those involved in the 2018 murder of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi a total of $49.00 people 9 groups have been sanctioned under the u.k. government's new regime targeting human rights abuses the u.k. will also sanction those involved in the killing of russian lawyers said the minute ski the crackdown on their hands in those responsible for abuses in north korea. those with blood on their hands the thugs of desperadoes the henchmen a dictator is will not be free to walk into this country to buy property on the kings or a king's road to do their christmas shopping in knightsbridge or frankly to siphon dirty money through british banks rather financial institutions let's go live to so you're going to go in london sun you know it's interesting isn't it that saudi

arabia should be on that list given the fact that the u.k. for decades has had such a close trading and diplomatic relationship with saudi arabia. well that's right but of course you have to remember that the killing of jamal khashoggi was a case that really tore at the fabric of that diplomatic relationship as well and really are should in international condemnation of the killing of act of of the journalist and writer and if you look at some of the detail of that so-called magnitsky act that the u.k. is adopting it is also specifically targeting people who are targeting journalists people who work for the media as well as people who are being abused or killed for their beliefs or their religion as well so really quite a strong underlining of of those values which are being underpinned by the foreign secretary that dominic robb he 1st raised his course back in 2012 he has him self

a human wrote rights lawyer background so this was something that he wanted to see put into place and of course with britain having x. to the e.u. with its transition period coming to the end at the end of the year this is the time when britain will have to strike out on his own and put in that kind of of legal framework in place in order to be able to if in its own words to parade itself as global britain and putting human rights at the center of that rather than any sort of strategic relationships that may have with countries such as saudi arabia have enormous problem with human rights abuses rob and of course this was something that was also highlighted a by a member of the opposing party you said that while this was praised it also really links into those ties that look a has with countries such as saudi arabia. and i welcome to his action against those involved in the appalling murder of jim how. i kind of gently say to him that although today is not the day perspiring across the dispatch box that it would be

welcome if it marked the start of a more consistent approach from the government toward saudi arabia and in particular the arms sales from this country that are being used to harm innocent civilians in yemen and of course song as i mentioned before this wasn't just restricted to saudi arabia this also includes that russia and north korea and other countries as well. absolutely of course it's also 2 high ranking military generals from me on maher who have been also pointed out in this who have been accused of being involved in the systematic and brutal violence of the wrecking of people as well now and other ethnic minorities as well so this is a sign really that the u.k. is in conjunction also it says it's going to be working with other partners such as the u.s. canada australia and the e.u. to try and calm down on such human rights abuses as as

a way of trying to put that essential its foreign policy as well it's also looking at 2 organizations from north korea which are involved in the forced labor and torture and murder of people in gulags and in this sort of. concentration camps which they have there as well and interesting enough if you look at the number of the some of the names that is being targeted in saudi arabia is what you've got a comment has son mohammad al asiri who help the position of deputy head of saudi intelligence saudi khatami who was the advisor to the crown prince and also as well the forensic dr solomon. the list that goes on and of course did indicate say this is what they were starting off with and they're also looking at expanding this little by adding other issues such as corruption for example drop zone you're going to go reporting for us live from london sonia thanks very much indeed still ahead on al-jazeera the decision by the u.s.

correspondent kelly holcomb has more. in short it may surprise a lot of people around the world to know that when you cast a ballot for a particular candidate it doesn't necessarily mean even if your candidate wins the popular vote that candidate is going to win the election in fact we saw this in 2016 hillary clinton won the popular vote but it was donald trump that won the white house why because he had the most electoral college votes essentially what this means is that if your state has rules in the case of the supreme court ruling in the case of these so-called faithless electors who didn't necessarily agree with the popular vote and wanted to cast a ballot in different direction they can't do that that's what the supreme court is saying it's saying if your state has rules about how you cast your ballot then you have to follow those rules now the case came up because in 2016 there were 4 different so-called faithless electors and colorado state and washington state who

had a designated party they were to cast the ballot for a designated candidate rather and they didn't want to cast for that candidate that's why they challenge these rules but what the supreme court has said is said sorry your argument doesn't have any merit if your state has a rule that you must cast in favor of this particular candidate in the electoral college then that's what you must do now what this means is that if this election coming up is very close those that may have a crisis of conscience and want to try and break the tie will not be able to do so at least for this election. our u.s. federal court has ordered the shutdown of the controversial dakota access pipeline the judge called for a full environmental review of the pipeline within 30 days members of the standing rock sioux tribe have been fighting against this construction for years they argue the oil spills could contaminate water sources and put their culture of risk

film schools were on a seemingly designed to go almost unnoticed that morricone changed that and unusually for a composer became a star. what morricone soundtrack kind of. mid sixty's almost exactly to get the fighters to get us the soundtrack isn't a thank you much more prominent role. than are almost pop music the italian composer was honored by hollywood with an oscar for lifetime achievement in 2007 then 9 years later he won the academy award for best original score for director quentin tarantino's weston the hateful 8 it was a job more coney a regionally turn down until 10000 allowed him to break with the style of music he'd written for westerns in the past. this is something amazing unexpected because really in my type of work you don't think of the positive or

negative consequences in general the iranians have ones but sometimes they can also be negative consequences that is the film doesn't succeed or people don't like the music but this time everything went well thank goodness i'm happy amaze. me with a pearl if a composer not just in terms of the number of films he worked on but the diversity of genres it's a measure of his success the sum of his schools even more famous than the films he wrote them for. the coronavirus crisis has disrupted the global food supply chains leading to shortages in some countries the world bank is warning 130000000 people could be at risk of starvation but an increasingly popular been farming system could provide a solution always reports from sweden's capital stockholm. it's harvest
