pandemic are easing in china its economy grew 3.2 percent in the last quarter after shrinking the most in nearly 50 years in the 1st 3 months of the year or my kind of begins our coverage from washington d.c. with more on dr phil and she's please to end a vision over the pandemic. weeks of failed white house criticism of dr anthony parky culminated in an all out attack by peter navarro president trumps economics adviser in a newspaper column here cues the infectious disease as a. heard of being wrong all the time dr fox he responded in a magazine interview saying the country needs to stop this nonsense and focus on the surging virus rather than political games referring to the white house dr fox he said it's only reflecting negatively on them president trump insisted peter navarro was speaking only for himself we're all in the same day including dr felt you have a very good relationship with dr g.

and we're all in the same team we want to get rid of this mess that china sent us so everybody's working at the same line it would doing very well this rosy view of the crisis has been one point of disagreement between the president and dr funky who's warned of grave consequences from the beginning of the pandemic i think if you talk to reasonable people in the white house they realize that was a major mistake on their part because it doesn't do anything but reflects poorly on them that there was also disagreement about the easing of mitigating measures as president trump urged states to open up as quickly as possible and dr fox she advised against large gatherings of people president trump went ahead with a campaign rally in tulsa last month thank you one of those who attended was oklahoma's governor kevin stood and he's become the 1st u.s. governor to test positive for the virus the latest point of disagreement is

president trump's insistence that schools open and should chill discounting doctor found she said vice that the metrics of the pandemic in each area should determine if or in what manner students should go back to school. that's an opinion shared by many teachers concerned that their own safety is not being taken into account in the administration's desire to return to normal it's not only dr fogey who no longer has the president's ear yet ministration has ordered hospitals to send all coronavirus data directly to the health department here in washington not the centers for disease control in atlanta effectively sidelining the body that has been at the forefront of the battle against every previous pandemic in an apparent bid to end public concern about dr fox he's diminished role the vice president tweeted about the latest coronavirus task force meeting he at least still appears

to be listening to what dr phil has to say mike and. washington in peru domestic travel is partially resumed as the government tries to jumpstart the economy there are long queues as limas main airport reopened land and river transport that's being allowed in 18 regions 7 other areas where corona virus cases are rising and 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 take this all we can speak to nick morrow who's the lead analyst for global trade and the economic intelligence columnist intelligence unit he joins us now from hong kong next to the forecast growth was 2 and a half percent the actual growth was 3.2 percent slightly better than expected and certainly interesting when compared with the rest of the world. you know that's right the economist intelligence unit its own forecast was actually 3 percent so this came quite in line with our own expectations and it is indeed quite striking

considering that the rest of the world is still very much the narrative and the economic disruptions wrought by the pen demick china's recovery has been relatively quick and i think a lot or so a lot stronger than a lot of people had originally anticipated that the nature of the economic recovery is also quite interesting it's primarily been a story from. industrial output we're still seeing consumption and retail sales relatively weak and that raises concerns around things like overcapacity which my loom over the prospects for the remainder 20 so it does explain that a little bit for us is a bit is driven by industrial spence and not by retail what do you mean by what does it indicate. the exactly right essentially it suggests that a lot of companies might be getting started building so producing things for inventory but not necessarily offloading minatory because the demand by not actually exist so if your. you know critics saying it is a phone or

a car or steel maybe you might not be 'd easily off putting that into the market because consumption patterns haven't necessarily caught up with supply that's not necessarily a story for every industry so for example electronics have indeed actually been relatively resilient we have seen quite a strong recovery in the auto sector and for steel the big government infrastructure stimulus program has meant that there has been some demand there but we had somebody to come out today if you maybe tell sales across the board are still relatively weak in june they were still in negative territory and so that raises some concerns around the fact that production it might be pacing consumption and that's a story that china has really struggled with for much of the past decade and it comes out of the quota virus it's going to remain as a picture for me in the challenge we both know right so still

a lot of uncertainty about especially given that the chinese growth was not great before code starts but what about also this the impact of u.s. china relations which have sowed considerably what about the. that's right yeah i mean has the domestic story has kind of turned towards a bit of more of a positive area of the external environment looks increasingly complicated it really is that the share ration of the us which is driving the day just in the past month or so we've seen a ton of us punitive actions taken in regards to hong kong she. mostly involving things around mental financial sanctions against various chinese government entities or even commercial entities potentially we're seeing frictions in technology and the us has. harder stance in the south china sea there's a ton of other things happening beyond times borders on which are still going to weigh on the minds of leadership trying to navigate the rest of the year that's going to be what we term some of the biggest risk factors that could derail this

continued economic mansome into the 3rd and 4th quarters of the year all right nic i appreciate that thanks very much indeed. joining us from hong kong thank you. strike on a family celebration in northern yemen has killed at least 25 people many of them women and children youth the rebels say the saudi m. iraqi coalition carried out the attack in algae growth profile. a warning you may find some of the images from sarah hart's report to stress. that 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 sat this is the latest horror of a war and its 6th year. the rebels accuse assad amorality coalition of deliberately targeting 2 homes or knowledge province during

a family celebration was coalition spokesman to commend king told reuters that it would be strongly investigated using an internationally approved independent process. this is the coalition's 3rd such attack since jim just 4 days ago in a family as 10 were killed in an airstrike on the city of homs which we see as a blatant disregard for the war that's why we use the region refugee council are calling for an immediate independent investigation those responsible to be held accountable both warring parties are stepped up their attacks on each other since a temporary ceasefire ended in may so 1000000 casualties have tripled despite this the coalition was last month removed from a un blacklist over the killing and injuring his children they did this many times before that so i think if the united nation will not help so i would be responsible for this killing i believe that that's all they can continue. the earlier this

on the lights for 70000000 ethiopians who 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 but it's feared those benefits could be outweighed by the negative effects even more good reports from sudan's make nuclear. filling of the dam is of great concern to both sudan and egypt because the dams capacity alone is twice the size or rather the capacity of the blue line which contributes more than 80 percent of the water so dan has repeatedly expressed concern over the impact of the dam and its safety on sudanese dams and water resources says that it's worried about the safety of the operations of the ground if you bring in his own stem especially because if you is yet to provide any guarantees it's also worried about the impact it will have on water bodies 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 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 park 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 water that flows into it and into the amount of water that is released by the egyptian dam so should egypt release a lot of water by the from behind dam and should there be a reduction in the amount of water that is flowing into the lake the size of the lake is likely to significantly reduce and that would have an impact on the livelihoods of people who are living here in the health and fishing and farming on the on the shores of lake so lots of concerns by sudan of course and also concerns

by egypt over how much water it would be receiving especially because more than 1000 percent of its population relies on the nile for fresh water to get any guarantees of from. feeling of the down will not will not affect the amount of water that is flowing downstream. libya's warring sides have conducted a prisoner swap the un recognized government of national accord and forces loyal to war $24.00 have to each exchanged 8 prison is in misrata with the hope of more to follow but trying to assess. well wishers welcome to home for us the right he's one of a prisoners from misrata released by warlord 34 have to his forces in eastern libya . the men loyal to the internationally recognized government of national accord or ginnie in tripoli or exchanged for aid of have to his prisoners. the swap have been near elsewhere and is that south of the front lines with the help of tribal leaders . well the rot was taken prisoner in southern tripoli last december during have

men from misrata have been killed in the fighting would have to forces so far but. the city of misrata suffered so much from death occasions like this fill our hearts with joy and happiness made. god help all those who helped bring these people but for family and friends of the 8 prisoners who have been able to make it back home here in misrata it's a joyous occasion it remains to be seen whether prisoner release is such as this one can help fuel a serious reconsideration process and bring about a peaceful solution to the libyan conflict trainer al jazeera misrata russian as strikes in northern syria have killed at least one civilian dozens more were injured in the attack on the city of aleppo province 2 mosques and a courthouse were hit the city is under the control of turkish forces twitter is scrambling to fix a major hacking of its system that seen fake messages posted to some of the most

followed accounts in the world they began appearing just a few hours ago asking followers to donate to a bit coin account with the promise their amount would be matched among those hacked former u.s. president barack obama where the message says that donations would go to those affected by kevin 19 presidential nominee joe biden i was in boss jeff bezos and microsoft founder bill gates plus apple and uber and tesla they've all also been hit or twitter c.e.o. jack dorsey has given a statement in its he says it was a tough day for everybody at twitter and they feel terrible at what happened diagnosing the cause of the problem will share more information when they have a better understanding of how it happened you know fried is chief technology correspondent for x. years and she explains why some 20 uses could have fallen for the hack. well i think you know this was an account all about opportunity and what you're seeing is you know very high profile people reach a lot of people very quickly bitcoin is something that can be turned into cash very

quickly anonymously so i think somebody found a very clever way to extract a lot of money from people in a very quick amount of time i mean certainly more people don't fall for it than do but i think when it comes from twitter and twitter caused a little bit of this problem they verify certain high profile users and say this is 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 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 u.s.

tech giant apple will no longer have to pay $15000000000.00 in back taxes to winning an appeal that europe's high court the firm has been accused of benefiting from and a legal arrangement with allen's government to keep its tax bill of health official even though the judge has decided the case not proven that the bible has more on the route. multinationals could often choose to pay tax on their revenues around the european union in $1.00 country where they have a regional headquarters in up was case like other big companies that was in ireland so the commission back then ordered apple to pay back for a gross underpayment of tax on profits from 2003 to 2014 it said that basically the company had created 2 shell companies to hire eat their profits now this is a big win for apple as it stands the company had really who the idea that they'd sort to avoid tax the i was short for it is have welcomed this decision they

affect trump's public image. she claims that he's as sociopath and that of course would be someone who's not only anti social but very manipulative and uses the ball 'd for his own ends and i don't think that that comes as a shock to anyone who's been following donald trump's career and certainly his presidency but the fact that someone in the family again was some expertise in the mental health field would come forward to say that it is very important for certainly the american people and all of the world to know while what she has said she has seen from her entire adult life i think as they say these charges are already baked in to people's decision making so it doesn't come as a shock to the opponents of donald trump that he has sociopathic tendencies and is not capable of leaving the united states and we see that now because of the coronavirus but for those who support him and continue to support him and that's about 30 to 35 percent of the american people they don't only either don't care
