extended to may challenge other countries such as china and the week of detention camps and crackdowns on hong kong protesters the question is will they go far enough to affect a change of behavior so that i able al-jazeera. bill browder worked with sergei magnitsky and is the head of the global magnitsky justice campaign he says the sanctions are an effective way to punish people who commit human rights abuses. we fought and struggled with multiple governments both labor and conservative and after 10 years we finally had a breakthrough which was today and so i view it as a huge milestone i think it is a huge development way beyond the magnitsky case to. is basically the new technology for the british government and other governments to apply it towards atrocities of human rights abuse when you sanction the government nobody cares if

you sanction individuals the people who are sanctioned care care and those who are afraid of being sanctioned also here and so it creates a climate of fear among human rights violators and torturers that either they have they've lost their ability to travel and spend money in the west or they may lose it coming up and when you have personal consequences it's absolutely much more effective there are 6 other countries that have magnitsky act so united states canada the baltics estonia latvia lithuania russia always huffs and puffs but at the end of the day what they do is they they apply sanctions to u.s. officials for example so they can travel to russia but most of them don't want to travel to russia and they certainly don't want to keep their money at the national bank or spare bank and so it's kind of an asymmetric retaliation or actually it's a symmetric retaliation that doesn't have any impact and they try to asymmetric. metrically retaliate there's really not that much they can do and so it's. you know

it's something which which really puts big western countries like the u.k. u.s. and canada in the driver's seat. the u.s. now has more than 3000000 corona virus infections and president donald trump is being accused of enabling it spread new york governor andrew cuomo is urging him to acknowledge the outbreak as a major problem infectious disease expert on funny she says the u.s. has still need deep in the 1st wave with more than $50000.00 new cases a day but it is about the u.s. having the world's snow is rate and called full school so reopen in the autumn of brazil which is struggling to contain the virus easing more restrictions bars restaurants and other businesses are reopening in south pottle and india has become the country with the 3rd highest number of cases it reported nearly 50000 new infections in just the past 2 days now more now on the situation in india in just

a few minutes but 1st white house correspondent kimberly how could brings us the latest from washington d.c. well there's a spike in cases all across the united states 40 out of the 50 showing really increased and record breaking in some cases numbers of coronavirus cases and that has certainly got the new york governor or the democratic governor concerned as you point out he says the president is enabling the virus what's he talking about well the u.s. president over the weekend really tried to downplay this number saying that the reason that there is an increase is because there's more testing going on in that 99 percent of the people to get coronavirus well that harmless this is certainly something that the new york governor has pushed back on the president don't be a coconspirator of covert do one simple thing acknowledge to the american people they hold it exists it is

a major problem it's going to continue until we admit it and each of us states up to do our part. well the u.s. president has not been admitting that is a major problem instead in the last hour he's been pushing back against his joe biden the democratic presidential nominee he'll be facing off against in november in fact he's saying that far more people would have died if joe biden was in the white house pushing back on the criticisms about closing trav close in the united states travelers from china he's also said that deaths are down 39 percent in the united states and again is pushing for the economy to reopen ease been as we see some states starting to close acknowledging they may have open too soon in the case of southern florida you now see jim's closing as well as some dining room still the u.s. president pushing ahead with reopening twitting and all caps schools especially should

68 i guess he favors to get us the soundtrack is it a thank you much more from the row. than or 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 originally turned down until 10000 or 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 dirani just 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 amazed. marconi with
