he said that he's warnings were taken seriously and the country is paying a huge price he said at the start of the pandemic around 80 percent of people were tearing to social distancing and other guidelines and now that's down to about 10 percent it's a very worrying for the government the fact that infections have gone up and the death rate has also gone up well it was the government itself that eased those lockdown restrictions that opened up cities alone people to travel around the country government offices were open to people went back to work businesses were reopened another government has said that face masks are mandatory all gold is no penalty for not wearing one they've been running campaigns on state t.v. saying that corona virus is no joke and encouraging people to wear a mask but there is the sense of kroner fatigue now this virus has been in the country for 4 months and to give an example of that the health ministry spokeswoman said that in one city alone in a matter of days there were 50 wedding ceremonies and they saw an increase of infections after that. a strictly not down is being reimposed in australia's 2nd

the sand will be picked up in the air it's just not really affecting bengazi to spot on shore breeze in fact it warms up shower wise for africa again we watch the clumps of showers this time of the year there's one not far from giannina but for it's the gulf of guinea and beyond where you see the dark blue or even the orange pick up there's a significant showers affecting one rover and sierra leone this week. but. for thousands of years farmers and shepherds have lived. but the traditional way of life has been the generation. as israel plans an extension into the occupied west bank. al-jazeera world goes to the jordan valley where illegal settlements have already expanded and asks what the future holds for these

charter the white house said the attack on solely money was carried out in the direction of u.s. president donald trump and was aimed at deterring future attacks and educate being planned by iran our diplomatic editor james bays has more from the united nations. well it's a damning report from agnes kalamata who is the special ruppert ters who say on extrajudicial killings worth explaining what that is it's an independent expert who is appointed by the human rights council and these reports where she investigates cases of possible extradition killing are then reported back to the u.n. human rights council remember that the u.n. human rights council is not a u.n. body that the trumpet ministration already looks favorably on they pulled out of the un human rights council in 2018 and so i suspect if there is going to be a response from the trumpet ministration it will be an angry response the u.s. position they say they've made very clear in a letter they submitted to the security council 5 days after the killing of gen

saddam on the iranian strategic experts and commander which they said it was a case of self-defense because of the possibility of imminent strikes but in her report maher says that there is no evidence that he was planning an imminent attack against u.s. interests so she says therefore on the basis of the information provided by the u.s. and of course she doesn't have access to any classified intelligence information she believes this was a breach of the u.n. charter a breach of international law. 2 people have been killed in an explosion which ripped through a factory south of iran's capital 3 people were also injured in the blast in bakhash are a local official says it was caused by workers who mishandled oxygen tanks explosion was so powerful it damaged nearby buildings is the 5th incident of its

u.n. panel of experts who found widespread possible war crimes in the conflict between saudi and yemen and it's not clear how many isolated incidents it would take to constitute a pattern but the u.k. has concluded that the saudi government is demonstrating a commitment to comply with international humanitarian law and i quote there is therefore no clear risk that arms and military equipment exported to saudi might be used in serious contraventions of international humanitarian law so what this means that the government is now going to be processing that backlog of orders from saudia includes a multi-million dollar deal for typhoon fighter jets and earlier i spoke to the campaign against arms trade who really spearheaded the original case against the government they said they are baffled by this decision they've they've described it as morally bankrupt and reprehensible they said that their lawyers and i'm going to

alcohol related related diseases that he was depressed and the president for his part speaks very fondly about his brother but what makes some of her criticisms particularly credible given the fact that you know families do have squabbles is the fact that as you mentioned she's a clinical psychologist so she feels particularly well suited to tell this story she says that she's releasing this both because she could no longer remain silent she claims that donald trump destroyed her family but she does not want him to destroy her country so she's putting this out in advance of the u.s. election now in this comes at a particularly difficult time for the u.s. president because of course this is the latest in a sort of tell all book to be released we've also had just weeks ago the tell all that was also critical of the president from the former national security advisor john bolton and we should add to that that this is a difficult time for

a president struggling to deal with corona virus and also of course the poll numbers that show him lagging in the polls next to the contender for president joe biden the democratic presidential nominee and so on no specifics of this particular book what to reaction has there been from the white house. will they actually the white house didn't want to talk about it they said look at there has been a matter of a legal attempt to try and stop this publication we certainly don't want to topple that's under way but that legal attempt to block this book's release will that was unsuccessful and since then we've had the counselor to the president kellyanne conway talking about this. saying that you know it's notable well mary trump may be a clinical psychologist donald trump is not her patient he is her uncle and really tried to dismiss this as family squabbles also criticizing the book's credibility as of the claims that made saying that this hasn't fact nobody said under oath and family matters are family matters came to how to thank you very much indeed. now an
