for generations. as israel plans and 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 palestinians farmers shepherds of the jordan valley on a. almost a quarter of a 1000000 new corona virus infections the biggest worldwide rise in a single day it comes as things take a turn for the worse in the united states. but i think this is out there and live from doha also coming up in the program india records another record a daily rise in cases will be live in new delhi with details on the containment

measures being put in place. exit polls in poland predict a tight race between the 2 men battling it out to be president. and libya hits out at the u.a.e. accusing it of being behind a blockade of its oil facilities. so there's been another record daily rise in the number of coronavirus cases around the world 230000 people have been infected more than a quarter of those are in the united states and the state of florida is being particularly badly hit it lifted restrictions in may and has just reopened disney well but it is also shots of the new national record 4 cases in a single day as reports. a new tragic record the largest number of coronavirus cases diagnosed in a single day in a single state of florida more than 15000 confirmed cases and the death toll is

rising this is a state that was one of the 1st to reopen its economy and its republican governor was defiant at 1st a lot of people in your profession who wax poetically for weeks and weeks about out florida was going to be just like new york wait 2 weeks florida's going to be met just like it only wait 2 weeks well hell we're 8 weeks away from that and it hasn't happened it took a few more weeks but it has happened and it's actually worse than it ever was in new york but unlike there the florida governor has not issued a state wide mandate to where mass. protests in one county tried to shoot down and over the weekend another protest yeah. a restaurant offering free food to people who refused to cover their faces selfish for not wearing a mask i want to say to you then all the people calling the selfish you're the one who's trying to force me a medical procedure so that you can feel more safe on the risks are very very mild

this is a virus that has a 99.6 percent recovery rate this is a virus that is very well contained this is a virus that the c.d.c. is you're going to get the dentist satisfied. none of that is true and wearing a mask is not a medical procedure still it has become a political statement for many in the u.s. the entire reason for the shutdown was so hospitals like the one behind me do not become overwhelmed when the states that are seeing the biggest increases like florida arizona texas the hospitals are close to capacity and given what we know about how this virus spreads it is likely that that is going to continue stretching the hospitals beyond capacity. the president spent much of the weekend golfing but officials in his administration made clear they are gearing up for a fight against the lead infectious disease expert in the government dr anthony fauci i respect dr a lot but dr chee is not 100 percent right and he also doesn't necessarily he

admits that have the whole national interest in mind he looks at it from a very narrow public health point of view questions now about whether the man who has led every national health emergency under 6 presidents will be fired by president trump in the midst of a growing pandemic patty call him al-jazeera maryland. now mexico has the 4th highest number of deaths from david 98 in the world that overtakes it's really more than 35000 people have died it's recorded more than 300000 infections but the government says the true number is likely to be significantly higher india has recorded a 5th straight record to date all new cases u.k. with 19 with nearly 29000 confirmed on sunday and 5 states that. will not do delhi kind of taka and under pradesh they've all been particularly hard hit a week long lockdown will be imposed in bangalore

a city for spite vet and the number of dead is nearing 23003 generations of bollywood's problem and back john family have tested positive for the virus miss world. riot by john and each year old daughter had been infected it was announced a day off to her father in law the bollywood legend topped by china and her husband were admitted to hospital. well elizabeth perona move to new delhi so 1st tell us more about these record numbers and. no. heinecke so as you mentioned we're seeing the 5th day and every day or every other day that we're seeing numbers rise like this and what we're seeing is the management of the outbreak moved very much from the central government when it was in late march it was when they imposed that nationwide lockdown blued from the

central government managing the outbreak to very much being managed at the state level by different state governments and as those you know numbers keep rising we're seeing states impose lockdowns bring those lockdowns back in the worst affected areas depending on the numbers but also depending on the political will on whether they can afford to financially as you mentioned the city of been going to do and not occur that joins the major city pull away in maharashtra which is the worst affected state which is where the bunch and family have been infected so those are just 2 of the latest cities to go into a complete lockdown for 10 days with only essential services and and they join they have a combined population of 20000000 people they join a number of other areas like catalyst to do an on the poor many parts of the state of west bengal the northeastern city of desexed ended its lock down very strict

lock down for another week so that's one tool that states are using to try to break the chain of transmission despite these numbers we're not hearing much from the central government the last time in fact that we heard from prime minister modi speak specifically about this was nearly 2 weeks ago it was very brief he just asked people to be careful interesting on the weekend we heard from the interior minister who said that the whole world is watching how one of the most successful battles against. that 19 has been fortunate india now it was that central governments decision again you know in late march to impose that nationwide lock down one of the strictest in the world which didn't didn't lay the peak of cases which we are seeing now which the states have taken over managing and as always it's important to remember with india that although it's increased testing so much at least $300000.00 tests being conducted every day it is still testing some of the lowest numbers per capita in the world our lives live there for many thanks very

much indeed it's a problem they're reporting from new delhi thank you. south africa is reimposing some restrictions as cases there spike curfew is back in place overnight and alcohol sales abound the country has the highest number of infections on the continent the president's already opposed so scientists are forecasting as many as 50000 deaths by the end of the year in a televised address he explained why the government has produced back the lockdown measures. we've now decided that the sale the dispensing and the distribution of alcohol will be suspended with immediate effect there is. now clear evidence that the resumption of alcohol sales has resulted in substation pressure being put on hospitals including trauma and i.c.u. units therefore as an additional measure to reduce the pressure on hospitals

a care few will be put in place between the hours of 9 pm and 4 am let's hear now from for me to miller who has more from johannesburg. lots of africa had quite a strict lockdown in place as the 1st infections were recorded back in march and april some of those restrictions have been eased but the president also said that south africans aren't at hearing to the regulations that are meant to try and stop the spread of covert 19 he says people aren't wearing mosque they're still massive social gatherings especially on weekends massive funerals where people are likely to catch coronavirus because they're not adhering to any of the health regulations in place so that was very much the gist of that address but also given the surge in numbers in recent weeks you also mentioned how. a

quarter of the infections are quarter of the deaths recorded and then i was sitting at just over 4000 where in the last week alone and now south africa is seeing an average of 12000 new infections every day and every day we're seeing a new record in the number of infections and just how concerned the government is at this point and this is what's led to the government reversing or backpedaling to some extent around some of the easing of restrictions the nigerian government is to review agreements with several countries including the united kingdom over what's been described as unacceptable treatment during the pandemic the foreign minister geoffrey on your money says the u.k. withdrew landing rights for a nigerian carrier as it was trying to evacuate citizens piece had carried out one successful flight from the u.k. to nigeria and had scheduled another 2 on your misses hundreds of nigerians were affected by the move. exit polls after poland's presidential election runoff

suggest the race is just too close to call the conservative incumbent is tipped to get around 51 percent of the vote he's up against a socially liberal. ruffo across. the results could lead to a big shake up putin's politics so i think this report. an extraordinarily tight race and the result on my perch by a small margin under a do that is projected to stay in office 5 years in the role propped up by the rightwing law and justice party yet for all the control they wield in poland do death failed to secure a comfortable win so yes not a bad example to the public i want to make it clear and strong that i am happy about my victory for now it's only an exit poll victory but looking at the past results as you all saw it it has grown in my favor. this is the man snapping at the heels of the incumbent. also

a centrist pro european union mayor he launched his campaign at the last minute but it's proven to be a spoiler for president do this a short when. all the votes just need to be counted which in truth will make this evening a nerve wracking one for everyone in poland but i'm absolutely convinced when we count each vote we will be victorious and we will definitely win and redo those deeply conservative and homophobic agenda was an appeal to his party's nationalist base his constitutional reforms that we can the independence of the country's judiciary also put him at odds with the you compared with rafa. whose liberal program called new solidarity was designed to evoke the movement that helped and communist rule in poland he is seeking stronger relations with the e.u. than his competitor campaigned on. despite the clash between 2 radically different

agendas voters came out in record numbers the highest turnout in the country since 1989 the final results won't be declared until choose day and there will also be the votes of some hoffa 1000000 poles who are living outside the country in a race this tight every single one of them will count on it i go there. still ahead here on al-jazeera we'll tell you why hong kong's 1st democratic primary votes could also be lost. plus a u.s. navy ship captain fun to hear from one of the evacuated saying. i oughtn't or i pretty much sums up the weather across the middle east as per usual we have got some lively showers so just around at least the side of turkey anywhere between the black sea and the caspian sea could catch cheryl too over the next day

or 2 we are looking at some wetter weather coming in here and that will sink a little further south which was northern parts of iraq northern areas of iran but elsewhere some places a fair weather claps a little bit lifted dust and sand temperatures here in doha at around 42 celsius the gentle blowing the winds will go around some of the nice diversion as we go through tuesday so i think we will notice a feeling a little more humid at this stage but generally dry nevertheless southern end of the red sea could see one of 2 showers the showers there into northern and western parts of ethiopia pushing across south sudan as mary heavy rain just making its way just around the gulf of guinea yet again so western areas of common room could see some flooding rains the possibility of very heavy rain there into northern parts of nigeria over the next day also could also see wanted to show you notice it's a coastal areas of kenya along with southern parts of somalia so the past south

africa will see some wet weather pushing through over the next couple of days cool and windy for cape town on monday. in india identity politics on the rise what we're seeing is the construction of partitions and cuts and loads of what you want to put across the country and as a dockside indeterminism do see the grid from his office the majesty of the hidden fix into something more like the team i didn't see of the british football i meet with victims of violence and discover what life is like for minorities in the country join me on my journey in search of india's soul on al-jazeera.

what are you watching out for micro top stories this hour and there has been another record daily rise in the number of corona virus cases around the world 230000 people have been infected more than a quarter of those are in the united states india has recorded its 5th straight record day of new cases with nearly 29000 confirmed on sunday a week long lockdown will be imposed in the new city after a spike there was 23000 people have died. and exit polls off opponents presidential runoff suggest the race is too close to call conservative incompetent producer is took to get around 51 percent of the vote to his up against the socially liberal was on the reform of cost. more than a half 1000000 people have turned out to vote in hong kong's 1st ever democratic primary elections the vote will be will decide which kind of it stand in the

legislative council elections in september there's a 1st such poll since the new national security law was imposed by major vivek apology as. the race for the 1st ever democratic primaries heated up as long as he's formed in one of the hottest days of the summer. the villagers task was to choose the person they believe would best represent them and september's legislative council elections. to get candidates campaign throughout the weekend including democracy activists joshua long who is looking to run in the legislative council elections for the 1st time he is on trial and could face jail for taking part in un authorized protests last year fight for democracy is a longtime battle we doesn't imagine or expect one day off to hong kong without any result in free election but f. we have trust was due to come out of vote that's the reason why i run for office in such a primary election even with a race of disqualification organizers say they faced many obstacles including

a resurgence in current virus infections and shops and offices earmarked as ballot venues becoming unavailable in the last minute to counter that some district councillor's hard to bus as a mobile polling station that proved popular the territory's 1st ethnic minority democratic candidate is also running the hong kong born social workers making his political debut on a tough battle ground against 8 other mostly established politicians you know after you see people lining up coming in and picking up leaflets and patting you on the back saying you know i'm going to die you know what on people at all you just thought this is this is hong kong spirit no matter what we just find a way in the democracy camp hoops that fielding the most popular candidates for the upcoming september elections will help them win a majority of the 70 seats up for grabs this is the 1st time the democrats have held primaries they believe now more than ever they need to axe to teach

a cli but the bigger question is with this greater response and momentum from the public how will the government react and will it lead to further restrictions on the democracy movement according to organizers turnout was boosted by efforts to suppress the event some. officials suggested the poles could violate the national security law we don't want to be silenced not just for our generation but also for the next or the next generation but with a diminishing tolerance for acts of defiance in hong kong and the broad mandate of the new national security law many fear this could be the 1st and the last time an election like this is held there we go pollan hong kong. well let's join sarah clarke in hong kong you're outside court for this hearing which will come to in just a moment or 2 but 1st these primaries. maimie many more people who voted than expected would have all sorts been saying about. the organizers had hoped for about

170000 people to cast their ballot they can now confirm that more than 600000 people turned out on sunday for this primary vote as mentioned in his story this is a primary vote for the pro-democracy brock it's a strategic way of filtering out the least popular candidates who run public to the most popular candidates who run in september lets the council election and clearly the voters delivered on that front now the alleged election which be held in september it's going to be fiercely contested by both sides currently the block it has the majority but the pro-democracy or the pan democrats are doing their best to contest that majority in their hoping they will be hoping to secure the same election result we saw last year and that was a district council election where they secured 17 of the seats not if the pro-democracy camp can secure the majority clearly gives them a lot more powers they can push once again for electoral reform and have

a lot more power clearly within they can also reject or approve the budget and in extreme circumstances they can also try and force the resignation of the hong kong's chief executive terry lamb so it will be a fiercely contested election in the lead up to september 6th when let's start with the voters here in hong kong. or so now the court hearing what all about. we have a large group of 13 people who'll be appearing the next hour or so are here at the west teller and of course here in hong kong these are a number of the high profile approach democracy activists that includes g.b. live is the apple daily founded this is i approach democracy media a group here in hong kong we also have 2 of the organizers of the annual june for square vigil that's lead chuck young and albert hall another all being charged with inciting and or and organizing an illegal assembly for the this is joining for rally in hong kong the police are simply saying they. ignored the code and

regulations are in place a social distancing rules at this particular time it was at the point where we had a maximum of people out in public rallies now they have been charged the the people will appear here in court in the next hour or so but not of the people also in this group they were also part of the hong kong alliance and some of these pro-democracy groups would simply argue that this is yet another crackdown on the pro-democracy camp here in hong kong or that's a picture in hong kong a sari club. one of malays used leading independent news portals is facing contempt of court proceedings reader comments criticizing the judiciary malaysiakini is editor in chief stephen gaghan has arrived at a federal court and the truth for hearing reporters without borders a calling for the case to be dropped comes days after police questioned al-jazeera style for a documentary about the plight of migrants during the hand demick. 2 people are missing after a fire it's an oil refinery in southeastern china hundreds of firefighters have been tackling the blaze in fujian province 3 people have been injured the local

he says the old blockade will likely force foreign players to get even more involved. while this blockade protracted and considering the protraction of this situation so to speak russia is actually the state that will be gathering the most influence and has drawn in the us now there is increasingly strew tonight in the situation and he has put it put it in quite a precarious situation because diplomatically speaking the u.s. cannot do much unless it decides to counter russia either through very very concerted efforts soft power once or that means speaking to turkey and speaking to the u.a.e. to stop doing what they're doing or to counter russia militarily because russia is involved in the military so it has these 2 options and i don't see it taking any of the 2 and that means that libya is headed to a certain extent in some form some way shape or form to either a yemen or a syrian like scenario unfortunately these developments come as images on social
