had lost to the opposition as in previous elections candidates need to be vetted by security and the credibility of the election has been further questioned by the exclusion of millions of syrians who left their country or have been displaced by the conflict. in 1000000 people in the north of the country for example won't have any representation in the next parliament and the deputies who are supposed to represent regime held areas are not real representatives they won't stand by the people they are beholden to the regime which has absolute power and control. but president bashar is facing challenges results of previous elections were not recognized by the international community the syrian leader will need to agree to political reforms in order to receive western aid to rescue the economy devastated by hears of war and corruption. and the election.

iran's president hassan rouhani says that 25000000 people more than a quarter of the population may have been infected with the coronavirus he says a further 35000000 could be at risk of infection iran has officially reported around 271000 cases but ronnie's office says his much higher figure is based on research estimates by the health ministry further restrictions being enforced around the country after a surge in new cases yankee has not called to get favorable to him one of the most important matters is that here is to medical recommendations and social distancing to limit the spread of the corona virus according to the ministry of health estimates 25000000 iranians have been infected with the coronavirus so far and we have lost about 14000 of them within 150 days it is possible that 30 to 35000000 citizens are at risk to be infected in the coming period this means that the number of patients who would be hospitalized will double it is possible that the virus

will continue until march or now from the same bus ravi who's in toronto. this alarming hard to believe number comes on the 1st day of return to lock down to a lockdown situation here in the capital tehran after we've seen a record number of deaths from the coronavirus pandemic in recent weeks now in the hours since this meeting took place in the hours since the president made this statement about 25000000 people potentially infected number that he said could turn into 30 or 35000000 in the next few months there was clarification from the secretary of the science committee on his taskforce and this gentleman put out a statement saying that the number that mr rouhani was talking about reflects those who were tested and showed signs of having antibodies and those were people that were potentially asymptomatic for the covert 19 virus and were not hospitalized he also made the point of illustrating the actual figures of infection and death that

iran compiles that it then sends out to the world official confirmed figures those come from people who are hospitalized and are tested positive in swab tests for the covert 19 coronavirus now what we see here the figure that mr rouhani is talking about perhaps a better word than infection is it's the total number of people that have been exposed in the country to the coronavirus now whether he misspoke or whether this was president hassan rouhani trying to fire a warning flare to illustrate iranians that remains a serious problem that they have to take the threat of the coronavirus seriously the point that the president made today either way is that iran has been and remains the worst affected country in the middle east. in the us is the 1st day of the new school year approaches a nationwide debate is raging should children be sent back to classrooms during the

schools that don't meet this requirement they must begin the school year this fall the distance learning school reopening has become a national political issue president donald trump says democrats are scheming to make him look bad and they think it's going to be good for them politically so they keep the schools closed no way so we're very much going to put pressure on governors and everybody else to open the schools back in may the house democrats approved 90000000000 dollars to support schools reopening safely but the republican senate has not approved that measure but when you make it about politics than just people trying to. score points and get elected i may not but i really think it is a disservice to how credibly important this issue is the conservative dominated school board in orange county california recently voted to allow schools to fully reopen without masks or social distancing it's time to get these doors open and get

these babies but the school board has no power to order schools to reopen that's a decision made by local school districts and so far the county's largest districts say they'll opt for virtual learning los angeles and san diego schools will also use distance learning for students brenda del hero has a message for trump my kids are not getting pics i am not going to send my kid to school to see if they're going to get coated and to see if they're going to survive an agonizing dilemma for parents teachers and kids now weaponized for political purposes rob reynolds al jazeera los angeles israel they've been protests in tel aviv in west jerusalem against the government's handling of the coronavirus pandemic police used water cannon in west jerusalem to try to disperse the crowds israel reimposed restrictions offer a surge in cases last week something that's angered demonstrates as they've been processed for weeks over the economic situation and lockdown measures and also
