well our correspondent elizabeth cohen is live for us in the capital new delhi let's start with custom a they're bracing for even tighter restrictions talk us through what they can expect. yes so has announced indeed administered capital rather 3 and a good is going into parts of it going into a lockdown because the administration said because of the rise of the number of cases and so they saying that $88.00 so-called red zones will be put under lockdown and they're barricades and barricades being put up in large parts of the city now the administration this said that this is because of the number of cases they said they had nearly 600 cases at the end of june and that number has needed. since then because people wearing mosques they're not socially distancing and so they're going to continue with this awareness campaign now 7 local journalists who i've spoken to

say that it very much feels like a complete lockdown despite the government saying that it's not the general lockdown that it feels that way because these red zones a so scatted that it's very difficult to move between them and also that they have barricades pushed up around them now the government also very interesting the announce that as well as pushing large parts of into lockdown that they're going to open up tourism to the rest of india from tuesday this is despite also saying that the majority of cases have been from outside the region and so because of the very strict restrictions that have been in place and long before coronavirus it's or tommy was revoked and all this this is a region that's already been under many restrictions and there was a lack of trust in people to really questioning why a lot down is necessary when it really has relatively very few cases and also why

open up. tourism if not done is necessary why in white tourists to the region while keeping the residents under restriction and liz i know that the national government has been trying to scale up testing around the country but how else are they reacting to the surge that we're seeing right now. it's been really interesting because we've seen the management of the outbreak move from the national mood from the central government at the beginning of the outbreak in march you know late march when they imposed a lockdown it's very much being managed at the state level now by state governments and that's the case this keep rising more and more states are deciding to impose lockdowns in the worst affected areas depending on the numbers the political will whether they can afford to financially we have the cities major cities all full name. invent a new do to combine population of 20000000 people they have both going into

lockdown from today for 10 days with only essential services allowed we've been seeing pictures of people stocking up on vegetables that markets in from it before they lock down begins at 10 o'clock tonight they join other areas around the country that have been on the poor many areas affected areas of west bend goal and in the north east which are under lockdown has just announced it's extending it for another week now despite this again as i mentioned we don't hear much from the central government and we did hear from the interior minister on the weekend and he was very positive they are generally positive they said that he said that the whole world is witnessing how one of the most successful battles against covert 19 has been fought in india what it was that government's decision to impose this lockdown on the nationwide lockdown and late model which was one of the strictest in the world which did delay the rise in the number of cases the peak which we have seeing

now and which state governments are trying to manage and as a india correspondent live from new delhi thank you. well more than a quarter of the global cases in the united states and the state of florida is being particularly badly hit and ease restrictions back in may and has just reopened disney wells 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 poetic leak 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 an over the weekend another protest. 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 loud 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's the c.d.c. is you're going to get the demick 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 at the phone i respect dr fauci a lot but dr fox he 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 pedicle here in el does iraq maryland one across the border and mexico now has the 4th highest number of deaths linked to cover 1000 in the wild

more than fashion 5000 people have died nearly 300000 people have contracted the virus there the government says the true number is also likely to be significantly higher well south africa is reimposing some restrictions after a rapid increase in infections that an overnight curfew is back in place and alcohol sales have again been banned presidents around oppose a says his nation is facing a destructive coronavirus storm and that the measures are vital to ease the pressure on hospitals south africa's recording about $500.00 new cases every hour 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 savings as resulted in substantial pressure being put on hospitals including trauma and i.c.u.

units therefore as an additional measure to reduce the pressure on hospitals a kid if you will be put in place between the hours of 9 pm and 4 am. correspondent for me to mel a has more on those new restrictions from johannesburg. also 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 moss there are still massive social gatherings especially on weekends massive funerals where people are likely to catch corona virus 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 or quarter of the deaths recorded and then i was sitting at just over 4000 were in the last week alone and now south africa 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 to some other news now and poland's incumbent president has narrowly won a 2nd talent office with more than 99 percent of votes counted due to has won more than half his rival the liberal warsaw marathon has won almost 49 percent the national electoral commission says voter turnout was higher than usual 68 percent of people cast their ballots in the presidential election runoff. now e.u.

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 polls 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 to be gopalan are jazeera hong kong and now members of the pro-democracy great charge for organizing an illegal vigil to commemorate the

1989 channel square massacre have appeared in court the defendants include a high profile opposition leaders like jimmy lie young accused of inciting and participating in assembly last month that saw thousands of people defy a police band. we are supposedly we are on trial. well we believe that you know. hold on government got for reasons that should be put on trial and we'll be put on trial because of their suppression of our right to more room for our right to our assembly for their current overdrove which has been going on for 40 years and occur because they bear our gathering under the name of. this is a complete you know you're all right i'm going to cause you to embrace it long and all right i'm going to international program on civil and political rights. correspondent sara clark joins us now from hong kong where you're standing outside

that court where there is pro-democracy activists are appearing today can you talk us through what to expect. with a court hearing is now under why it started about a half an hour ago and as you mentioned these are 13 of some of the most high profile pro-democracy activists in hong kong and they've been charged with inciting and organizing this year's june for chairman square candlelit vigil and the 2 of these are the people in charge they've organized this for a number of years the police are also saying that these guards are accused of breaching covert regulations and social distancing rules that were in place at this particular time being on june 4th we had rules that only allowed a maximum of people of being allowed to be in a public gathering now they arrived hand in hand in united chanting various slogans like no to political crimes no to political suppression they've also announce that they will fight these charges some of the signs they didn't encourage people to join people joined willingly of course they joined willingly for a number of years for decades at least 31 years since the town square massacre back

in 1989 so they did not see people joined as i mentioned but included in this group some of the most high profile being jimmy lie he was the founder is the founder of apple daily this is the pro-democracy media outlets and lead check young and albert hope both of those of the founders of the hong kong democratic ally south today is just a summons it's got to be a short hearing we believe but if they do if they are found guilty they could face up to 5 years just for some of these charges and as dave here was reporting just earlier that the democratic primaries that we saw had enormous turnout over the weekend how have the authority has been reacting. well the organizers of the primary vote for the pro-democracy and pan democratic camp on sunday on saturday i had targeted a hope to get about 170000 people in their voter turnout instead i can confirm about 610000 people turned out to cast their ballots. the people turned out in unprecedented terms is the 1st time they've held this primary but clearly it's

a strategy for the pro-democracy groups to filter out those the least popular and identify the most popular to stand for the village of council election which will be held on september 6th and this will be a fiercely contested a battle between the pro beijing and the pro-democracy groups at the moment the point where it holds a majority but the pro-democracy will be hoping that just a similar election result the last district council where we saw them secure about 17 of the 18 seats in those local elections that if the pro-democracy can't secure the majority they clearly will get the powers to either deny or approve the budget exert more power and lots of council to push for democratic reform and extend extreme cases they could also try and force the resignation of hong kong chief executive terry. sarah clarke there with all the latest for us from hong kong thanks very much there. now libya's national oil corporation is accusing the united arab emirates of pushing ward to reimpose
