7:05 am
the economy there there were long queues is lima's main airport reopened and a river transport is being allowed in 18 regions 7 other areas where corona virus cases are rising they remain under lockdown well as peru tries to boost its damaged economy official data out of beijing shows that china is bouncing back let's go straightaway to katrina you in beijing and katrina the latest economic performance in china has beaten expectations. that's right 3.2 percent which is higher than what many and analysts and economists predicted of about 2.5 percent and it's really quite a sharp rebound from the previous quarter where we saw a contraction of 6.8 percent year on year and that's of course when china was in the thick of the pandemic now china was the 1st country to be affected by the coronavirus and state media here are hailing this 3.2 percent as a as a celebration some very positive thing to be held as
7:06 am
a beacon of hope for the rest of the world although we do have to take this figure with a grain of salt this is a government figure it's very hard to verify but if you do go walk around in major cities in beijing for example it does it is true that it does appear to be like business is back to normal restaurants and shops are open people are travelling again people don't have to do the tour we quarantine period anymore and tour groups are allowed to travel domestically as well now that was a big concern with this outbreak in beijing that we had at the end of main beginning of june where lots of neighborhoods went back into lockdown and many businesses were closed again but the government seemed to move quickly and 11000000 people were tested and those measures seemed to have worked and for the last 10 days we've had 0 new transmissions of the corner virus here in beijing so people are coming back out again so the things assumingly on the rebound but looking ahead katrina there's still plenty of uncertainties. that's
7:07 am
right well the spokesperson from china's national statistics era said that it does look hold that of overall but the last few months of recovery is laying the groundwork for continued recovery for the rest of the year and they're seeing even saying that they expect g.d.p. growth of about 5 percent for the 2nd half of this year that does seem quite optimistic but certainly some recent figures do seem to point in that direction in june we had output industrial output of about 4.8 percent and in urban unemployment also that slightly down in june that was 5.7 percent compared to may which was 5.9 percent and car sales are also down thing back we've had 2300000 cars sold in june which is up 11.9 percent from may which does seem to indicate that people are willing to spend again on big ticket items or recovery economically china has been patchy if you look at retail so overall that is still down retail sales were down
7:08 am
1.8 percent year on year in june but still going forward china does seem to be the only major economy which economists expect may avoid recession this year but all the same the chinese government is remaining quite cautious this year they've scrapped a g.d.p. growth target for the 1st time in decades or because they didn't think so that's a katrina you reported from beijing. egypt is seeking clarification from ethiopia about whether it started to fill the reservoir of africa's largest blue no if european state t.v. reported on wednesday that the filling of the grown relations dam has begun egypt and sudan fear reduced water supplies downstream and didn't swell the river until they reach agreement. well the $5000000000.00 dam has caused nearly a decade of tensions between the 3 countries the project is the centerpiece of ethiopia's bid to become africa's biggest power exporter country is the source of the blue nile which flows through sudan and merges with the white nile through
7:09 am
egypt the government says that full capacity the dam will be able to turn on the lights for 70000000 ethiopians you currently have no electricity but egypt relies on the nile for 90 percent of its water for a population of 100000000. sudan stands to gain from the project which will reduce flooding and provide access to cheap electricity because food those benefits could be outweighed by the negative effect even morgan reports from sudan's lake nubia. pulling of the dam is of grave concern to both sudan and egypt because the dams capacity alone is twice the size or rather the capacity of the blue nile which contributes more than 80 percent of the nile's losses sudan has repeatedly expressed concern over the impact of the dam and its safety on sudanese dams and water resources it says that it's worried about the safety of the operations of the ground if you bring in his own family specially because if you have yet to provide any guarantees it's also worried about the impact it will have on water bodies
7:10 am
downstream now one of those places where we will see an impact of the feeling is right here on lake newbie or as it's much more commonly known lake nasir and this is a lake that is created by the reservoir of the aswan high dam in egypt and most of the body of this lake is on the egyptian territory but this part which is about 20 percent lies on sudanese territory lots of fishermen and lots of farmers rely on this water body to be able to make a living and they're saying that they're concerned because this leak is largely reliant on the amount of nile water that flows into it and into the amount of water that is released by the egyptian high dam so should egypt julies a lot of water by being from behind dam and should there be a reduction in the amount of nile water that is flowing into the lake the size of the lake is likely to significantly reduce and thus that would have an impact on the livelihoods of people who are living here and why the hell swamps and fishing and farming on the on the shores of lake new bia so
7:11 am
a lot of concern by sudan of course and also concerned by egypt over how much water it would be receiving especially because more than 90 percent of its population relies on the nile for fresh water it's yet to get any guarantees from the opiate that the filling of the down will not will not affect the amount of water that is flowing downstream. at least 25 people have been killed including women and children in an attack in yemen's northern province with rebels say those attending a family celebration were killed by a saudi a morality coalition air strike and warning you may find some of the images and so our hearts report disturbing. this little boy was knocking to survive the air strike but suffered bad winds. with a few medical supplies they have doctors trying to bandage his injured 30. today we had many people martyred some of them are 2 young children extremely pain then. this is the latest horror of

7:19 am
who you think it is and so that added to the problem is these were for the most part verified account so you look at it you say oh this really is this person and is it a little unusual that barack obama is asking for money yes but in the context of coded relief maybe not so much now with bill gates and some of the others it seemed a little more out of character but you know you think of the your typical e-mail scam and this is actually more plausible than that now again it does say you know you should be where you should think twice and you should never donate money indirectly you should always go to the charity you think you're going to libya's warring sides have conducted a present a swap the u.n. recognize government of national accord and forces loyal to the world who need to have to exchange a prisoners in misrata with the hope of more to follow i think trying to use this. well wishers welcome to home for us and the right he's one of the prisoners from misrata released by warlords who need to have to his forces in eastern libya. the
